The emergence of China as a great power is indubitably one of the greatest perplexities in the international arena since the cold war era. Similarly, it poses challenges to the strategic position of the US. The economic and technological height of China has now become a big question mark for the US hegemony. The US has adopted some essential policies and actions like the B3W initiative and Strategic Competition Act of 2021, which label China a strategic competitor in multiple areas, including economics, technology, and military security. Such actions and policies by the US generate growing strategic competition between Beijing and Washington. However, the Chinese political elite has reservations that the US wants to curb the expansion of Chinese influence. This paper, therefore, analyses how strategic competition between China and the US increases with the rise of China, particularly after China's BRI, and how China poses a challenge or an opportunity for the US. This paper employs the Power-transition theory as an analytical framework to investigate the power transition debated among policymakers in the US and China.

Предметом исследования является изучение мер государственной поддержки инновационного предпринимательства в Российской Федерации. Цель представленной статьи - исследование российской практики государственной поддержки инновационного предпринимательства. Методология заключается в анализе научных публикаций и актуальных данных, статистической информации. Основные результаты исследования. В Российской Федерации отсутствует законодательно закрепленная и научно обоснованная система оценки эффективности государственной поддержки инновационного предпринимательства. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для совершенствования действующих мер государственной поддержки, которые описаны в действующих нормативно-правовых актах Российской Федерации и субъектов Российской Федерации, а также могут являться предложениями для изменения действующего законодательства Российской Федерации и субъектов Российской Федерации. Необходимо разработать систему оценки эффективности поддержки инновационного предпринимательства. Под эффективностью поддержки инновационного предпринимательства мы понимаем качественную результативность деятельности государства, рассчитывающуюся как сумма мер государственной поддержки. Под оценкой эффективности поддержки инновационного предпринимательства понимается соотнесение мер государственной поддержки с конкретными показателями предприятий в сфере инновационной деятельности.

A medicalização da vida é um processo histórico que remonta à emergência do capitalismo e à constituição da medicina como disciplina na produção de saberes e na intervenção da vida. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos de relações de poderes de regulação, controle e disciplina do corpo, da sexualidade e da medicalização da vida provocados pela medicina. Recorrendo à abordagem qualitativa e comparativa, cruzamos as contribuições teóricas de Foucault e Illich, as quais apresentam elos e contrastes epistemológicos, mas convergem na demonstração da invasão da medicina em "todos" os domínios da vida, inscrevendo normas e regras a serem seguidas pelos indivíduos, com base num discurso médico que visa disciplinar, adestrar, controlar, patologizar e medicalizar a vida, processo esse que tem gerado pacientes e sujeitos dependentes de produtos farmacêuticos em nome da normalização da vida e, consequentemente, tem provocado danos irreversíveis à própria saúde da população.

The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic continues during 2021. Some countries are revisiting their containment measures to be eased or re-imposed after massive testing programs. Yet is testing itself a solution? Testing may be an important containment step, yet in low-income countries (LICs), it may be substantially challenging to carry out. This is because the situation in LICs is complexified by inadequate and corrupt economic, political, and healthcare systems in which testing is often beyond reach. Focusing on Pakistan and Papua New Guinea (PNG), we contend that the sparse number of recorded COVID-19 infections may demonstrate that both countries lack the required resources to conduct effective testing and deal with the pandemic. To appropriately tackle the pandemic, such countries need focus on implementing the measures they can and on public education about how viruses work and why it is so important to seek to contain their spread. Furthermore, we invite thorough studies to examine and analyze massive testing from various perspectives.
