ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗМЕЖУВАННЯ НЕГЛАСНИХ СЛІДЧИХ (РОЗШУКОВИХ) ДІЙ ТА ОПЕРАТИВНО-РОЗШУКОВИХ ЗАХОДІВ
Authors: Цимбал П. В. , Теслицький А. А.
Published: November 2024

У статті доведено, що сучасні реалії протидії злочинності вимагають ефективного застосування різних правових інструментів, спрямованих на своєчасне виявлення й розслідування кримінальних правопорушень. Насамперед проведено науковий аналіз понять негласних слідчих (розшукових) дій та оперативно-розшукових заходів. Виявлено конкретні особливості й критерії розмежування. Підтверджено, що розмежування цих двох категорій є надто важливим для забезпечення дотримання принципів верховенства права, законності та захисту прав і свобод людини в процесі протидії злочинності.
Акцентовано увагу, що надання слідчим права на проведення негласних слідчих (розшукових) дій насамперед сприяє вирішенню проблеми професійних взаємин між слідчими й оперативно-розшуковими органами.
Виділено, що, незважаючи на деякі спільні риси, зокрема використання негласних методів і засобів, ці дві категорії мають суттєві відмінності в їх правовій сфері, підставах і порядку проведення. Вказано, що негласні слідчі (розшукові) дії є процесуальними діями, які проводяться в кримінальному провадженні з метою отримання доказів або перевірки вже отриманих доказів за ухвалою слідчого судді. Водночас виділено, що оперативно-розшукові заходи натомість здійснюються оперативними підрозділами без судового дозволу та можуть проводитися як у рамках кримінального провадження, так і для запобігання, виявлення та припинення злочинів.
Виділено висновок, що для усунення існуючих прогалин і колізій у правовому регулюванні негласних слідчих (розшукових) дій та оперативно-розшукових заходів, а також для вдосконалення практики їх застосування потрібно здійснити комплексний аналіз чинного законодавства та судової практики, вивчити міжнародний досвід у цій сфері й розробити відповідні рекомендації щодо внесення змін і доповнень до нормативно-правових актів.

Зазначається, що кримінальний аналіз спрямований на підтримку ефективної правозастосовної діяльності, зокрема й у сфері протидії організованій екологічній злочинності, а його результати формують підґрунтя для організації діяльності правоохоронних органів, керованих розвідувальною аналітикою. Виокремлено основні риси та види кримінального аналізу. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що, крімудосконалення механізмів запобігання, виявлення, документування й розслідування кримінальних правопорушень, до завдань кримінального аналізу належить моніторинг криміногенної ситуації, обмін інформацією на регіональному, державному та міжнародному рівнях щодо тенденцій і ризиків у відповідній сфері. Резюмується, що подальший розвиток кримінального аналізу та його адаптація до особливостей чинного законодавства й системи боротьби зізлочинністю проти довкілля здатні забезпечити раціональний розподіл ресурсів правоохоронних органів, підвищити ефективністьрозслідування цих протиправних діянь.
Revolutionizing new drug discovery: Harnessing AI and machine learning to overcome traditional challenges and accelerate targeted therapies
Authors: Singh Satinder , Shingatgeri Vyas , Srivastava Pratima
Published: November 2024

Designing highly targeted, selective drugs with desirable absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles; single-digit nanomolar efficacy; and a wider therapeutic index are challenging. In the traditional drug discovery process, researchers screen thousands of chemical compounds during pre-clinical development, progressing through hit identification, lead optimization, and candidate selection to shortlist – potential clinical candidates with favorable PK profiles, high tolerability, and manageable toxicity. The selected candidate must demonstrate sufficient efficacy in treating the target disease in humans. Despite these efforts, the success rate of the pre-clinical candidate to sail through Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III in clinical trials remains exceedingly low. Supported by powerful data-driven tools, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed this traditional drug discovery process by enabling the analysis of large quantities of omics, phenotypic, and expression data to identify the biological mechanisms of pathological conditions and in turn identify druggable proteins or genes. The generative AI-powered toolbox creates novel compounds from scratch, assists scientists in optimizing druggability attributes, and bridges the differences between animal and human physiology and anatomy to predict potential toxicity in humans with high accuracy. This review discusses the bottlenecks in the traditional drug discovery approach, the impact of AI and machine learning (ML) in drug discovery, and potential challenges associated with AI/ML adoption.
Impacts of mode shift on well-to-wheel emissions from inter-capital transport in Australia – Part I: Road and rail transport
Authors: Smit Robin , Boulter Paul Graeme
Published: November 2024

Achieving mode shift in the transport sector will help Australia to meet its target for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, although robust data on its effectiveness have previously been limited. This analysis provides valuable new information on mode shift impacts on emissions in Australia and demonstrates some recently developed assessment tools. The analysis considers the potential of a shift from road to rail to reduce well-to-wheel (WTW) emissions (as CO2-equivalents, CO2-e) in 2019, 2030, and 2050, specifically for a case study involving the transport of passengers and freight between Brisbane and Melbourne. The analysis provides emission intensities (EIs) in grams per passenger-km (g/pkm) and grams per tonne-km (g/tkm), as well as annualized emissions, and considers the variability and uncertainty in the estimates using a probabilistic approach. The transfer of passengers and freight from road to rail has the potential to significantly reduce emissions. Electric rail delivers the largest and least uncertain emission reductions. For passenger transport, the EI of electric rail (12 g CO2-e/pkm in 2030; 6.5 g CO2-e/pkm in 2050) is considerably lower than that of road transport (143.2 g CO2-e/pkm in 2030; 58.9 g CO2-e/pkm in 2050), and the uncertainty is lower. For freight transport, the EI of electric rail (8.6 g CO2-e/tkm in 2030; 5.0 CO2-e/tkm in 2050) is also substantially lower than that for road transport (48.3 g CO2-e/tkm in 2030; 29.5 g CO2-e/tkm in 2050). The EI for diesel rail freight (27.0 g CO2-e/tkm in 2030; 26.1 g CO2-e/tkm in 2050) is around half of the value for road transport in 2030, but road transport becomes more competitive by 2050. The complete transfer of passengers between Brisbane and Melbourne from road to electric rail would reduce annual WTW emissions for passenger transport by 75 – 90%, depending on the year. The complete transfer of freight from road to diesel rail would reduce annual emissions by 45% in 2019 and 2030 and by 10% in 2050. The study and tools will help researchers, policymakers, transport/land-use planners, and network operators to quantify, design, and implement mode shift measures to reduce emissions.

Published: November 2024

Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative method used to measure and analyze scientific literature. This technique involves the collection and analysis of publication data, such as journal articles, books, and conferences, to evaluate and understand patterns of scientific communication, research productivity, author collaboration, journal impact, and trends within a scientific field. Bibliometric analysis has a limitation in that it is challenging to visualize effectively, necessitating the use of software for proper visualization. Therefore, this article discusses bibliometric analysis on spline regression for trend mapping and strategy development using VOSviewer software. The research results show that the visualization of spline regression keywords with VOSviewer can help in understanding patterns of relationships between variables, research trends, and network structures in scientific literature. Based on the analysis results, bibliometric analysis on spline regression can be visualized in trend mapping, which can aid in planning further research strategies, including identifying collaboration opportunities and underexplored research areas.
Actualités dans la prise en charge des patients admis en réanimation pour un arrêt cardiaque
Authors: Jozwiak Mathieu , Chudeau Nicolas , Paul Marine , Lascarrou Jean-Baptiste
Published: November 2024

L’arrêt cardiaque (AC) représente la troisième cause de décès en Europe et est grevée d’une morbidité importante. La principale cause de décès reste l’arrêt des thérapeutiques liée aux séquelles neurologiques ou aux comorbidités des patients. La prise en charge du syndrome post-AC repose sur le remplissage vasculaire et l’administration de noradrénaline avec un objectif de pression artérielle moyenne >65mmHg. La prise en charge respiratoire repose sur des objectifs d’oxygénation incluant une saturation pulsée en oxygène entre 94% et 98% et une pression artérielle partielle en oxygène entre 75 et 100 mmHg et un objectif de normocapnie. La lutte active contre la fièvre (température >37,5°C) est recommandée chez tous les patients. Un contrôle ciblé de la température (33°C ou 36°C) pourrait être envisagé chez les patients les plus sévères. La neuropronostication doit être la plus fiable possible. Elle doit systématiquement débuter précocement et reposer sur une évaluation multimodale clinique et paraclinique du patient dans le coma malgré l’arrêt de la sédation. La majorité des patients sortants vivants de l’hôpital après un AC ont une évolution neurologique satisfaisante permettant un retour à domicile même si plus d’un tiers présentent des séquelles cognitives et psychologiques légères à modérées potentiellement invalidantes.
Disinfection of Water by Chlorine, Peracetic Acid, Ultraviolet and Solar Radiations: A Review
Authors: Paggiaro Juliana , Souza Aline Karla Nolberto de , Ribeiro Bihain Murielly Fernanda , Santos Pereira Anna Karla dos , Cavallini Grasiele Soares , Pereira Douglas Henrique
Published: November 2024

Disinfection is an essential step during water treatment to ensure the microbiological safety of water for human consumption, and over time, it has been improved and better understood. In this context, this review provides a compilation of information, new insights, and perspectives on the main microorganisms present in supply water, their basic structures, and mechanisms of disinfection via chlorine, peracetic acid (PAA), ultraviolet (UV) radiation and solar disinfection (SODIS). Chlorine is the most common chemical disinfectant, however, there is the formation of toxic by-products, which has stimulated the use of non-chlorinated disinfection methods, such as PAA, UV and SODIS. The main advantages of PAA reported in the literature are its high disinfecting power, the non-formation of toxic/carcinogenic by-products, its ability to generate radicals, such as CH3C(O)O●, HO● and HOO● with or without the use of electromagnetic radiation or thermal energy. The generation of radicals is one of the most used mechanisms to explain the oxidation process during disinfection, which, also prompted studies to use radiation for catalyzing the formation of these radicals. Consequently, physical disinfection processes, such as UV irradiation and SODIS have received significant attention because, in addition to having the ability to damage the RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) of microorganisms causing their inactivation, these processes also promote the formation of radicals through reactive species that are ubiquitous in natural water. Therefore, the review will be important for studies focused on the process of water disinfection by advanced oxidized processes, especially those that use PAA combined with UV or SODIS.

Authors: Panda Achyut Kumar , Mahapatra Pabitra Mohan
Published: November 2024

The formation of wax from waste high-density polyethylene by thermal decomposition through pyrolysis is examined in this work. To get wax from waste high-density polyethylene, the thermal cracking reaction is run in a semi-batch pyrolysis reactor at 550 °C, 600 °C, and 650 °C. The yield percentage, melting point, specific gravity, and penetration degree of wax varied depending on the temperature. At 600 °C, waste high-density polyethylene yielded the highest wax output (87.25%) with a 0.7768 specific gravity, a 59 °C melting point, and an 81.8 mm penetration degree. The fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis concluded the presence of aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds (alkane, alkene, alcohol, and cycloalkane), which is also confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The innovation in this study lies in the systematic exploration and optimization of temperature conditions for wax production from waste high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles.
Crystallization Morphology and Self-Assembly of Polyacrylamide Solutions During Evaporation
Authors: Hu Jun , Wang Zhan-Long
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the crystallization and self-assembly phenomena of polyacrylamide (PAM) solutions during evaporation. While traditional thin-film fabrication methods such as spin coating and drop casting are commonly used, this study utilizes a simple evaporation approach to gain insights into the self-assembly processes of PAM solutions. We examined PAM solutions with varying concentrations (1%, 2%, and 5%) and observed the resulting crystalline structures and morphological changes during evaporation. Spectroscopic absorbance measurements were employed to analyze concentration gradients and crystallization patterns. The findings reveal that the concentration gradient during evaporation significantly impacts the crystallization behavior of PAM solutions. The 2% solution exhibited the clearest and most regular crystalline patterns, whereas the 1% and 5% solutions displayed more complex and irregular morphologies. These observations provide new insights into how solution concentration influences PAM crystallization, contributing to a better understanding of polymer thin-film self-assembly. The novelty of this study lies in exploring PAM self-assembly through controlled evaporation, offering valuable insights for the development of polymer films.
Artificial Photosynthesis: Visible Light-Activated TiOCl2/2-Phenyl Indole Complexes for Atmospheric CO2 and H2O Capture and Long-Chain Organic Products Generation
Authors: Paraskevas Michail , G. Arzoumanidis Gregory
Published: November 2024

We present a novel self-organized chemical "living" system that mimics natural photosynthesis by capturing CO2 and H2O from the atmosphere at ambient conditions. This system autonomously reduces CO2 with H2O protons to produce long-chain aliphatic oxygenated products. Starting with 2-phenyl indole (PI) complexes with TiCl4, the hydrolyzed complexes react with CO2 to form organotitanium carbonates. The 2:1 PI/TiCl4 complex was found to be the most effective. Key findings include: Photocatalytic Reduction: Visible light reduces TiIV to TiIII and TiII, forming peroxotitanium complexes and releasing OH radicals. CO2 Reduction: CO2 is reduced to CO, H2CO, and CH3OH, which couple to form HOCH2CH2OH. Organic Compound Synthesis: The system generates oxygenated organic compounds with carbon chains from C2 to C16. Ligand Exchange: The PI ligand exchanges with donor molecules, forming adducts involved in the photocatalytic process. PI Oligomerization: Contributes to the formation of PI oligomers. These processes were monitored using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) spectra, proton and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), and infrared (IR) spectra, identifying over two dozen intermediates and products. This system offers a prototype for new applications with potential improvements using other metals and ligands.

Published: November 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are essential contributors to economic growth and development. However, they often face significant challenges in maintaining competitiveness and achieving sustained growth, particularly in the current era of rapid technological advancements, globalization, and evolving market dynamics. This study aims to investigate the critical factors that drive product innovation and their subsequent impact on the performance of SMEs. A quantitative research approach was employed in this study. Data were collected through a survey administered to 69 Sasirangan Cloth SMEs in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. These SMEs are engaged in the traditional textile craft of Sasirangan cloth, which holds cultural significance in the region. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) was utilized to analyze the collected data. The findings of the data analysis reveal that strategic orientation, market power, and organizational collaboration have a positive and statistically significant impact on product innovation. This suggests that SMEs that adopt a market-oriented, entrepreneurial, and technology-oriented strategic approach, combined with efforts to develop market power and engage in collaborative relationships with other organizations, are more likely to foster product innovation. Furthermore, the study finds that product innovation plays a mediating role in the relationship between these factors and company performance, indicating that product innovation is a key mechanism through which strategic orientation, market power, and organizational collaboration contribute to enhancing SME performance. In conclusion, this study underscores the pivotal role of product innovation in driving SME performance. By developing and introducing new products or significantly improving existing ones, SMEs can differentiate themselves from competitors, attract new customers, and enhance their overall competitiveness.

Can Janus kinase inhibitors be used to treat immune checkpoint inhibitor associated adverse events?
Authors: Braun Jürgen , Karberg Kirsten
Published: November 2024

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), and lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) are increasingly used to treat cancer patients since they were shown to reduce tumor progression and increase survival of patients with different types of cancer. However, ICI may also affect self-tolerance and lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs) which are not very frequent but can present in almost all organ systems including joints, tendons, and muscles. Indeed, arthritis and myositis are among the most frequent irAEs. Glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biologics are used to treat affected patients. This commentary deals with the question of whether Janus kinase inhibitors could be an option in this clinical situation.
Edemoascitis decompensation. Is it always liver cirrhosis?
Authors: Fernandez Carrasco M , López González J , Campos Serrano N
Published: November 2024

Portal hypertension (PH) is a clinical syndrome characterized by an increase in the portal hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), defined as the gradient between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. When there is clinically significant PH, it is usually associated with clinical events such as the development of esophagogastric varices (EGV), oedemoascitic decompensation, encephalopathy... these being more frequent in the case of PH due to liver cirrhosis.

In all etiologies of PH there is an increase in resistance to portal blood flow, followed by an increase in said flow. Depending on the location of the increased resistance, it will be classified as prehepatic, intrahepatic or posthepatic PH. Posthepatic portal hypertension occurs when there is a deterioration in hepatic venous outflow, increasing resistance at this level.

We present the case of a patient where a striking portal dilation led to the diagnosis of posthepatic PH.

A Tutorial-Based Approach to Teaching the Mathematics and Strategies behind Gambling Payouts
Authors: Sabrigiriraj M.
Published: November 2024

Roulette is a popular gambling game due to its simplicity and attraction of high payouts and it is purely based on chance. It is essential to know about the various payout strategies adopted by gambling houses before deciding to venture into any game of gambling. This tutorial paper mathematically analyzes the payout strategies adopted by the gambling houses for the game Roulette based on simple probability concepts. From the presented mathematical analysis, it can be easily verified that the payout strategy is fixed in favor of gambling houses and there is rarely any chance for a gambler to win on a long-term average. Finally, to maintain the neutrality of chance between the gambler and the gambling house, appropriate payouts are proposed for one set of common bets and relaxations for another set of common bets in Roulette.

Published: November 2024

Solar power prediction plays an essential role in functioning, mapping, and obtaining energy and climate goals in 2030 and beyond and contributing to real-time balancing of the power system. On the other side, electricity consumption is influenced by Heating Degree Days (HDD), Cooling Degree Days (CDD), average monthly temperature, energy management, human behaviour, architecture, orientation, and many other factors. The simulations are performed based on three consecutive energy consumption data for a typical dwelling in Tirana city. Once the base case scenario is designed, the model is validated based on the monthly electricity bills. In the base case scenario are included some energy efficiency measures (EEM) afterward the optimization of the supply side using PV and Solar Water Heating is part of our simulation, too. The focus of our work is to design a correlation between the relationship between consumption and generation of electricity given as a dependent variable (Y), which is regressed with weather parameters given as independent variables (Xi) under Durbin Watson statistics. The output of the study can help designers to compile a reliable power system, better utilization of energy resources, and forecasting accuracy analysis from both sides of the energy system (demand and supply side). The tested household and EEM applied in the proposed scenario may lead to an electricity reduction level of 8655 kWh per year and 76.6 % of solar fraction is used to meet the hot water demand.
Direct Fractional-Order Adaptive Control Design for Cascaded Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (CDFIG) in a Wind Energy System
Authors: Djebbri Sihem , Ladaci Samir
Published: November 2024

This paper is devoted to a fractional-order model reference adaptive control (FO-MRAC) synthesis for the independent control of the active and reactive power flows in the cascaded doubly fed induction generator (CDFIG) in wind energy systems. The proposed adaptive control law combines a second-order-like fractional reference model and a direct MIT adaptation law using a fractional order integrator. This generator configuration can be an interesting alternative to standard double-output wound rotor induction generators. It is made up of two identical wound rotor induction motors such that their rotors are mechanically and electrically coupled. Using two cascaded induction machines permits the elimination of the brushes and copper rings in the traditional doubly-fed induction generator DFIG, which makes the system more resistant and reduces maintenance costs. In the first step, we propose a classical PI controller synthesis to regulate the active and reactive power produced by CDFIG. Then, the FO-MRAC design is realized and a comparative study based on numerical simulations is performed between the classical regulators PI, MRAC, and FO- MRAC, to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed fractional-order adaptive controller relative to conventional integer order PI and MRAC controllers. These results illustrate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed adaptive control scheme.

Online harassment detection faces significant challenges due to its expansive reach and anonymity. Addressing this issue demands effective detection mechanisms capable of processing vast data streams and adapting to evolving online language. Leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence, we propose a novel approach grounded in natural language processing (NLP) and metaheuristic algorithms. Our methodology integrates term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) encoding and the AdaBoost algorithm for classification. To tackle the NP-hard problem of hyperparameter selection, we introduce a modified crayfish optimization algorithm (COA), termed GI-COA. This paper represents a pioneering effort in utilizing metaheuristic algorithms for hyperparameter selection in harassment detection models. Through experimentation, we demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in fostering a safer online environment. The best performing optimize models demonstrate and accuracy exceeding 77%.
Representation of a Minor Victim in Criminal Proceedings: Analysis of Federal and Regional (Stavropol) Legislation
Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Stavropol, Russian Federation, Artamonova Elena А.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The current Russian Criminal Procedure Law provides for the institution of his representation to protect the rights and legitimate interests of a minor victim in criminal proceedings. This article is devoted to the analysis of federal and regional legislation providing for general and additional measures aimed at protecting the rights of minors by victims. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The theoretical basis of the study was the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors devoted to the representation of the legitimate interests of a minor victim in criminal proceedings, in particular, providing him with free qualified legal assistance. The use of the formal legal method of research allowed us to identify the features of the legal regulation of the entry into criminal proceedings of the representatives of the minor victim. Results. An overview of the most significant issues for law enforcement related to the provision of a representative-lawyer to an imperfect victim, including on a gratuitous basis, is presented. In particular, the differences, positive and negative sides of the regulatory regulation of the procedure for ensuring the participation of a representative-lawyer of a minor victim under the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and the Stavropol Territory Law “On additional guarantees for the protection of the rights of minors recognized as victims in criminal proceedings” dated November 11, 2010 No. 94-kz. Discussion and Conclusion. The participation of a legal representative and a representative – a relative or representative – of another person to protect the rights and legitimate interests of a minor victim seems to be inadequate. The proper realization of everyone’s right to receive qualified legal assistance requires ensuring the participation of a representative-lawyer in the interests of a minor victim. It is proposed to legislate the participation of a lawyer as a representative of a minor victim as a case of mandatory participation in the criminal process of a representative-lawyer.

Introduction. In the criminal process, court decisions are normatively differentiated into final and intermediate. All decisions and definitions are recognized as the latter, with the exception of the final court decisions. However, the question arises, is it justified to classify some rulings as interim judgments? In particular, rulings to authorize the conduct of investigative actions provided for in Part 2 of Art. 29 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation about which a request was received from the competent authority of a foreign state within the framework of international cooperation in criminal matters; ruling on the transfer of a person sentenced to imprisonment freedom to serve a sentence in the State of which he is a citizen; ruling on the recognition and forced execution of a sentence, a court ruling of a foreign state regarding the confiscation of estate located on the territory of the Russian Federation as proceeds of crime. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the universal dialectical method of scientific knowledge, general scientific methods of cognition, namely analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, deduction, analogy, modeling, systemic, as well as such private scientific methods, as formal-legal and comparative-legal. Results. The legal nature of the rulings under study is revealed, consisting of procedural and legal features that are different from those that are normatively enshrined and theoretically developed in the science of criminal procedure, as characteristic of interim judicial decisions. Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made about the advisability of separating the listed rulings from the group of interim court decisions into an independent group of “other court decisions” in Russian criminal proceedings.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. The possibility of concluding procedural agreements in civil proceedings is one of the manifestations of private law principles within the framework of civil proceedings. In view of the complex subject composition and the combination in one case of many different interests, characteristic of group proceedings, the problem of implementing within their framework the right to conclude procedural agreements seems to be a relevant area of scientific research. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The theoretical basis of the scientific article was the works of Russian and foreign scientists. The comparative legal and formal legal research methods used in the work, along with comparative analysis, made it possible to identify a number of features and problems in the field of concluding procedural agreements in group proceedings. Results. The identified advantages and disadvantages of the Russian approach in terms of resolving a number of procedural agreements in group proceedings contributed to the formation of a number of recommendations for changing legislation and law enforcement practice. Discussion and Conclusion. Group proceedings, with all their inherent problems in the field of concluding procedural agreements, require not only the legislative elimination of a number of gaps, but also additional analytical analysis in the enforcement process to ensure the protection of the interests of the class.

Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russian Federation, Zolotukhina Natalia M. , Vlasova Tatiana V.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The conceptual and categorical apparatus of medieval political and legal doctrine is currently little studied by the humanities. Unfortunately, it has been ignored by historians of state and law, political and legal doctrines, which often leads to the substitution of terms, their incorrect interpretation and use without taking into account their historical and modern content. Theoretical Basis. Methods. To obtain a scientific result, historical, historical-comparative and hermeneutic research methods, general logical techniques were used. Results. The article critically analyzes the basic concepts of the Russian medieval state and law of the XI–XIII centuries and draws attention to the need to correctly determine their essential properties, signs and patterns. Discussion and Conclusion. The value of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of any, including medieval, political and legal science is justified by the accurate interpretation and use of words and stable phrases expressed in concepts and categories, taking into account their historical content. It is unacceptable to use a modern conceptual and categorical apparatus without proper argumentation in relation to the Russian Middle Ages, since this will lead to the substitution of concepts or their identification, unjustifiably narrowing or expanding their content, and ultimately inadequate scientific conclusions.

Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russian Federation, Kornev Viktor N.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The article is based on an analysis of the decisions of the Central Election Commission of Russian Federation on the refusal to register groups of voters created to support the self-nomination of candidates for the position of President of the Russian Federation and their authorized representatives, within the framework of the elections of the President of the Russian Federation, scheduled for March 17, 2024, and the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, based on the results of challenging such decisions, revealed problematic aspects of the procedure for creating and registering a group of voters to support the self-nomination of a candidate. Methods. When writing the article, general scientific methods were used: analysis, synthesis, systematization. In addition, a formal legal method was used. In the process of analyzing the empirical material, which consists of decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, decisions of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, sociological methods were used. Results. It is noted that, taking into account the current legislation and resolutions of the Central Election Commission, the procedure for holding a meeting and registering a group of voters to support a candidate for the position of President of the Russian Federation has been established, which consists of a number of stages with a certain mode of conduct and documentation. For violation of the procedure, corresponding constitutional and legal liability is established in the form of cancellation of the decision of the meeting and its registration. Discussion and Conclusion. An analysis of the current legislation and the decisions of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee allows us to conclude that the currently established procedure is a guarantee of democracy and reliability in the implementation of electoral rights.
Legal Support for Sovereignty in the Digital Space
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russian Federation, Provalinsky Dmitry I.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Sovereignty, that is, the existence of a state independent of the will of other external entities has at all times been the goal for a society united, among other things, by living within the boundaries of its own territories. In the context of globalization, traditional factors of preserving state sovereignty are no longer enough. A serious reason that can influence the sovereignty of a state is the development of technology, namely digital technology. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The subject of this study is the theoretical and legal aspects of ensuring sovereignty in the digital space, as one of the factors of state sovereignty. The study was conducted based on methods of logical and legal analysis. With their help, the components of digital sovereignty were identified, which can be divided into two groups: 1) information security; 2) technological sovereignty. Results. Digital space has its own characteristics: unlike physical space, it has no territorial boundaries and its volume depends only on the technical capabilities of electronic computers. Due to the lack of awareness from the very beginning of the formation of the Internet on the part of all states without exception and the world community as a whole of the danger of user behavior uncontrolled by law and morality, the digital space has acquired the image of a “through the looking glass”, in which the traditional understanding of law and order is blurred, distorted or completely absent . At the same time, the modern digital space is a kind of continuation of the “traditional” physical world and, due to its properties, is one of the components of ensuring state sovereignty. Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: to ensure the digital sovereignty of the Russian Federation, it is necessary: 1) theoretical development of the concept of legal regulation of the digital space; 2) creating conditions for the development of technological independence in the microelectronics and software industries; 3) development and implementation of state policy on active presence in the digital space as an equal participant in such legal relations by promoting one’s own interests in the global telecommunications network Internet. The process of legal regulation of legal relations in the digital space by the state should be built not only on the principles of achieving accessibility of content, but also ensuring the quality of its content.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Issues of power and management in the context of globalization are one of the most pressing topics in Western social sciences, affecting a wide range of branches of scientific knowledge – from sociology, political science, social and political philosophy to economics and jurisprudence. The prospect of the disappearance of the state as a sovereign subject of legal relations, declared by globalists, or a radical transformation of this established political and legal phenomenon, the rapid development of non-governmental and non-profit organizations, the digital revolution, an increase in the level of informatization of society and many other factors of reality that did not take place in previous centuries, raise natural questions about the exercise of power and control in the new prevailing conditions. The study of this issue is new for domestic legal science, since this topic has not yet been considered by Russian legal scholars. Methods. In this study, dialectical, sociological and hermeneutical methods are applied. The above methods are used in conjunction to obtain a synergistic effect. Results. As a result of a comprehensive analysis of power and management in the context of globalization, the main aspects of this concept in relation to modern times have been identified, and forecasts have been made regarding the described situation in the near future. Discussion and Conclusion. This article, unlike other articles related in topic and purpose, offers a comprehensive analysis of power and management in the context of globalization in their modern and relevant form. The author takes into account the close relationship of globalization, power and power relations with the historical heritage, regional characteristics and objective factors of legal reality.
