Abstract:
The year 2018 saw a reduction in tensions on the Korean Peninsula and one of active diplomacy and summitry, including a historic meeting between North Korean President Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump. However, the momentum had stalled due to different interpretations of the denuclearisation pledge and divergent priorities between the two countries. China remains a key player as Pyongyang and Washington contest over the substance and processes of difficult negotiations ahead.

Abstract:
Natural bentonite was modified with zinc ions and was used as a filler to reduce the offensive odor from raw natural rubber (NR). Characterization of filler shows the limited exchange of inherent calcium ions and the preferred adsorption of zinc ions on the surface of natural bentonite during modification. The modification process was also accompanied by bassanite formation due to sulfate ions brought by the zinc salt. Zinc-modified bentonite demonstrates an antimicrobial effect against microorganisms that are known to degrade or produce offensive odor from raw NR. Due to its antimicrobial and adsorption properties, zinc-modified bentonite significantly reduces the offensive odor from raw NR at loadings of 2.5–7.5 phr as shown by the olfactometry test. In terms of vulcanization characteristics, the loading of zinc-modified bentonite at 7.5 phr caused a slight decrease in elastic torque and increase in scorch and curing times of NR. The hardness and tensile properties of vulcanized NR are maintained after compounding with zinc-modified bentonite at 7.5 phr.

Abstract:
On January 15, 1993, President George Bush transmitted to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (the START II Treaty), signed at Moscow on January 3, 1993. In his letter of transmittal, President Bush discussed the importance of the Treaty, in major part as follows:The START II Treaty is a milestone in the continuing effort by the United States and the Russian Federation to address the threat posed by strategic offensive nuclear weapons, especially multiple-warhead ICBMs [intercontinental ballistic missiles]. It builds upon and relies on the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (the START Treaty) signed at Moscow on July 31, 1991. At the same time, the START II Treaty goes even further than the START Treaty.

Abstract:
In the present article, the issues of weapon reduction between Russia and the U.S. in the light of the oncoming Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START I) extension are examined. Regardless of the further development of the situation with a new treaty-making perspectives, the analysis of application experience of such singular document as the START I Treaty appears not only insufficiently valuated, but quite timely, since many of its provisions are used and converted in one form or another during actual negotiations, and may evolve into a new treaty.

Abstract:
The article defines that the implementation of the strategy for managing the innovative sustainable development of machine-building enterprises consists in selecting and using the effective internal mechanisms for crisis neutralization at enterprises. The measures are divided into operational and strategic, defensive and offensive. At the same time, operational measures should be carried out within the terms of the chosen strategy and can be both defensive or offensive, while strategic measures bear offensive nature exclusively. Defensive operational measures do not require significant time spent and raising additional funds for their preparation and conduct and should be carried out as part of a «reduction strategy». Offensive operational measures are advisable to use after defensive ones in the implementation of «strategy of reduced growth». Strategic measures require more than one year to be implemented and do attract significant additional investments. They are the basis of the «growth strategy» and consist in the restoration of equipment, improving the quality of products, improving the organization of production and labor, finding new markets, implementing progressive technologies, developing new types of production, elaborating a common concept of sustainable development of enterprise. It is concluded that the implementation of the strategy of management of innovative provision for sustainable development of machine-building enterprises is carried out, starting with the implementation of the most effective programs through defensive operational measures. If the results of these measures did not allow enterprises to achieve the targets and move to a zone with a lower level of crisis, it is necessary to move to offensive operational measures, and if necessary – to strategic innovation-managerial measures, adjusting the programs taking into account the new position of the enterprise in the matrix of statuses. According to the results of control, the management of machine-building enterprises makes the necessary adjustments aimed at improving the efficiency of strategic management of innovative provision of sustainable development.

Abstract:
A wastewater treatment plant consists of unit processes designed to achieve specific waste reduction goals. Offensive odors associated with these treatment processes are a constant source of public complaints. The purpose of this study was to statistically determine the process parameters that influence the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in the secondary treatment system. A statistical model was developed to relate the process parameters to the formation of VSCs in this system. The model established that F/M ratio, sludge blanket depth and SSV60 were the dominant process parameters that influenced the formation of VSCs in the secondary sedimentation basin. This model provides a useful tool for plant engineers to predict and control the VSC formation in a secondary activated sludge treatment system.

Abstract:
Background: Brands that decide to publish sexist advertisements can generate issues for the company, as well as the perception the consumer has of the brand can become negative. This as consumers form attitudes towards the brand’s delivered communication which influence the overall evaluation the consumer has towards the brand. It is therefore of importance for brands to understand how to respond to sexist advertisements that have been published in order to determine the created negative publicity, where one given approach is to apply one of the image repair strategies. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe how a brand’s image repair strategy towards its sexist advertisement affects consumers’ attitudes. Methodology: This research undertook a qualitative research approach with a descriptive nature. In order to ensure that the advertisements were classified as sexist and that the image repair strategies correspond with the brand’s responses according to the public, a pre-study was conducted through five semi-structured interviews. For the main study eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with both men and women as participants within the ages of 19-56 years old. Findings: The thesis identified that consumers' attitudes were affected by the four components: correspondence between advertisement and response, authenticity in the response, clarity regarding what actions to take and pre-knowledge of the brand. These components are therefore of importance for companies to take in consideration when responding towards sexist advertisements that they have sent out. Conclusion: Regarding the image repair strategies it was found that the responses given through the strategies of denial, evasion of responsibility and reduction of offensives lacked in all detected components. Furthermore, mortification as a strategy was not perceived as negative regarding the responses, however it still lacked the components. Corrective action was the only strategy where consumers' attitudes did not become negative towards the correspondence and authenticity in the response. However, all five strategies lacked clarity regarding what actions to take.

Abstract:
Most textile materials are potential substrates for microbial growth. In order to make textile materials suitable as functional materials, the microbial growth must be reduced to the barest minimum or quenched due to their undesirable effects; such as offensive odor, discoloration, degradation, mechanical strength reduction etc. Chemical finishing of textile materials (such as application of silver nanoparticles, quaternary ammonium compounds, chitosan, some synthetic and natural dyes to mention a few) is capable of imparting this functional property among others to the textiles. Although, mechanism of antimicrobial activities of treated textiles is yet to be clearly defined, but in most cases, antimicrobial action of treated textiles usually occurs through interaction of cation in antimicrobial agents with anionic charged microbial cell wall. Antimicrobial treated textiles are usually less prone to offensive odor, discoloration, deteriorating mechanical properties and make the consumers free of skin problems. In fact, they can be used as cheap materials for production of hospital gowns, hand gloves and face masks for containing microorganism borne diseases, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic.
