In the context of our project, we organised a webinar at which almost 200 participants assisted. It was aimed at everyone who cares about a greener and more sustainable future. The development of sustainable and resource-saving processes is a major focus of R&D&I work, also supported heavily by the European Commission as part of the Green Deal and the sustainability efforts. In this context, biotechnology is already acting as a facilitator to achieve a circular economy and a bioeconomy. We aim to achieve these goals with the identification, optimisation, production and application of innovative enzymes to support the transformation of various industrial sectors and their consumer products. In this webinar, we wanted to present the competences and topics we acquire or work on in FuturEnzyme to an interested international audience. With this CLIB Forum event, we want to emphasise and promote the need for collaboration between researchers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers for a greener and more sustainable future. Furthermore, our webinar was also of interest for policy makers, funding bodies, investors and consumers. The FuturEnzyme project partners CSIC, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and the University of Hamburg presented their activities in the project and beyond to a wide range audience.

The key catabolic enzymes of D-xylose, an important structural component of different agricultural wastes, were studied in cells of mutant strains of the xylose-assimilating yeast Pachysolen tannophilus. The evaluation of catalytic activity and cofactor specificity of xylose reductase (ЕС 1.1.1.307) and xylitol dehydrogenase (ЕС 1.1.1.9) confirmed the dependence of intracellular catabolic pathway for D-xy lose on the NAD×H/NADP×H ratio, formed under microaerobic conditions. The study of total activity of some NAD+ /NAP×H-dependent dehydrogenases revealed the metabolic characteristics of the yeast cells, which could ensure selective ethanol or xylitol production. Thus, the efficient involvement of D-xylose into the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway provided not only the high activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase, but also of 1-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) and lactate dehydrogenase (ЕС 1.1.1.27), respectively. The inhibition of activity of these enzymes led to selective production of xylitol from D-xylose. On the base of the experimental results, the principles of metabolic engineering of xylose-assimilating yeasts were formulated. The possibility of bioethanol and xylitol production from different agricultural wastes using xyloseassimilating yeasts are discussed.

In this article, an automation system for a continuous vacuum carbonization plant was developed. In the course of the work, an analysis of the existing deaerator was carried out and equipment was selected on its basis. Also in the work, a model was compiled in the VisSim environment, which describes the process of controlling the temperature of coal in a carbonization plant. An analysis of the simulation results showed that the quality indicators for the control and disturbance channels correspond to those specified by the technological schedule.

Рукопись поступила в редакцию 11 августа 2014 г. Expansion and diversification of field MH (mental health) programs transformed the landscape of relief work and underlined the need in conceptual framework and evidenced-based practices. Recognition of accomplishments offset by controversies surrounding understanding MH needs in complex emergencies. Incorporation of recovery-oriented paradigms shifts emphasis to community recovery, where the success of individual psychological recovery largely determined by quality of community supports providing secure sense of self, supportive relationships, empowerment, social inclusion, and meaning (SAMSHA, 2004). Proposed model of Community-Based Psychological Recovery in Complex Emergencies aims to facilitate the sustainable community-level impact by strengthening community supports and recovery resources and by sensitizing community to the needs of vulnerable groups. В статье рассматривается роль микросоциума в процессе поддержания психологического благополучия конкретной личности, пережившей экстремальное или кризисное состояние. Автор анализирует элементы структуры общества, влияющие на психологическое восстановление после психотравм различного вида, и концентрирует их в модели (CBPR — the community-based psychological recovery approach), концептом которой является тезис о том, что человек может справиться практически с чем угодно, если есть соответствующие средства индивидуальной и общинной поддержки.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how energy resources affect Ja-pan’s environment, using data over a period from 2000 to 2014. Today, prevention of environmental pollution and conservation of environment have a dimension exceeding national borders. The risks that result from us-ing of fossil fuels increasingly (petroleum, coal, and gas) must be decreased. To decrease such risks, besides to increasing of energy productivity, energy resources that emit less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (like Carbon-dioxide (CO2)) must be preferred. To examine the impact of energy on the Japan’s environment, a linear function was used to develop a model us-ing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and total energy consumption of Japan. CO2 is the dependent variable and energy consumption as the independent variable. A regression analysis was run on the model to know the relationship between these variables. The empirical results showed a positive relationship between CO2 and energy consumption. The result also showed Japan is highly reliable on non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels for its energy needs and these non-renewable energy resources have greater impact on the environment.

Научно-технический прогресс неразрывно связан с использованием энергии различных форм и потенциалов, которая с течением времени существенно меняла свои объемы и виды. В современных условиях развития уровень потребляемой человеком энергии значительно повышается, и следовательно, остро встает вопрос защиты окружающей среды от вредоносных выбросов. Многие промышленные предприятия ориентированы на изучение возобновляемой энергетики, технологии которой в дальнейшем можно использовать в развитии своих бизнес-процессов. Дана характеристика современного этапа развития рынка возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ). Раскрыта сущность и особенности бизнес-процессов предприятия промышленного сектора экономики. Проведен анализ бизнес-процессов промышленного предприятия Électricité de France. Выявлены основные направления развития промышленного предприятия в условиях коммерциализации возобновляемых источников энергии. Стремительное развитие технологий возобновляемых источников энергии и текущая ситуация в мире привели к возможности рассматривать развитие промышленных предприятий в условиях коммерциализации возобновляемых источников энергии, как новый подход к развитию бизнес-процессов предприятий промышленного сектора экономики. Государства оказывают поддержку промышленным производствам сектора энергетики и проводят активную политику развития данного сектора экономики за счет применения современных технологий, активного совершенствования бизнес-процессов внутри предприятий и частичного участия в управлении производством. В результате коммерциализации возобновляемых источников энергии создаются новые условия, в которых промышленные предприятия вынуждены существовать, поскольку становится необходимым гибко подстраивать, видоизменять и развивать свои бизнес-процессы. Открывая для себя все большие возможности инвестирования, большинство стран мира нацелены на сотрудничество, взаимный обмен новыми технологиями, ресурсами, финансами. В новых условиях развития сектора энергетики промышленные предприятия вынуждены отвечать новым вызовам, развивать внутренние бизнес-процессы, ориентируясь на новые факторы, влияющие на функционирование и совершенствование производства. Scientific and technical progress is inseparably linked with use energy of different forms and potentials, which significantly changed their volumes and types. In modern conditions of development the level of the energy considerably increases consumed by the person, and, therefore, there is a question of environment protection against harmful emissions. Many industrial enterprises are oriented to studying of renewable power which technologies can be used in development of the business processes. Real research is given a characteristic of the present stage of development of the market of the renewable energy resources. The article describes the entity and features of business processes of the enterprise of the industrial sector of economy. The research is carried out an analysis of business processes of the industrial enterprise Électricité de France.

Rapid development of technologies of renewable energy resources and the current situation in the world led to consider development of the industrial enterprises in the conditions of commercialization of renewable energy resources as new approach to development of business processes of the enterprises of the industrial sector of economy. Modern conditions appear because of commercialization of renewable energy resources. It becomes necessary for the industrial enterprises adapting flexibly to modify and develop their business processes.

Energy is the vital key factor which indicates the development of any country. If we focus on the world, we can see that those countries are developed in this world who could utilize their sources of energy in proper way. Bangladesh is a developing country. Last 2 decades the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country is growing rapidly and if we see the secret behind it, we can find that the new master plan and infrastructural developments of the energy sectors are responsible. These fueled the sustainable development of Bangladesh [1]. At this moment, more than 90 % people of Bangladesh are using electricity. According to the new master plan, government committed to provide the electricity for its all citizens in affordable price within 2021. New master plan tries to remove the obstacles for privates and foreign companies with giving some extra facilities. At the same time government also establish several power plants, which will stop these private and foreign companies to manipulate this sector. In this paper will try to focus on the electrical energy sectors of Bangladesh, the forecast the growth and future demand of these sectors, advantages, limitation and opportunities for the local and foreign investors. So, as a beginner anyone can get a clear idea about the electrical sectors of Bangladesh. At the end of this paper will also provide a conclusion with some recommendations for future works. Индийская цивилизация представляет собой особый случай мульти- и внутрикультурной изменчивости. Уникальность ситуации многомерна, поскольку она основана на мифологических и логических трансформациях. Методология исследования заключается в качественном сравнительном анализе знаковых и успешных индийских фильмов, являющихся яркими инновационными событиями в современном аудиовизуальном искусстве. Сравнение ограничено двумя крупными кинорынками, а именно Индийским и Российским (включая позднесоветский период) за последние полвека. В статье выделяются существенные черты Индийского культурного менталитета, которые поддерживают болливудский феномен; анализируются индийские фильмы как культурные кейсы, и, наконец, предлагается спектр возможностей, связанных с реальными событиями в производстве и продвижении болливудских фильмов в Индии и за ее пределами, акцентируя внимание на контексте современной России.

The economic security of the state today consists in diversification and the adequate use of three forces: "smart", "soft" and "strong", those certainly, should cover the entire range of risks and challenges facing national economies. This means that the scientific and technological revolution and the transfer of the carbon economy to the rails of deeper processing of alternative sources of raw materials and their environmental attractiveness for the carbon-free economy of the future leads to the aging of new reserves of society as all-sufficient and self- sufficient - from energy to consumption and processing products. In our opinion, one of the high-tech groundworks for the energy sector of the future could be an appropriate combination of superposition of traditional and new options for energy production, in particular, the production of biogas, as the main element of bioenergy, capable of ecologically and safely reducing the economy to the needs of particular person.

To solve the problems of environmental pollution from road transport, it is proposed to use bioethanol fuel. It significantly reduces both toxic compounds in exhaust gases and carbon dioxide emissions CO2, which is a greenhouse gas. The advantages and problems associated with the use of alcohol fuels are considered.
