Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russia, Pervukhina Svetlana I. , Yaroshenko Larisa V.
Published: December 2023

The article highlights key aspects of research-to-practice project “Conciliation in civil and administrative procedure” conducted by the Chair of civil and administrative procedure. Professors of the Chair analyse results of the projects, identify challenges and assign goals for a future reference period. The authors of the article analyse the work on the organization of the mediators’ interaction with the courts and the practice of applying the mediation procedure in court cases in face-to-face and online formats. The advantages of the model, in which the mediator’s duty is organized in the courts on a permanent basis, are revealed. The article analyzes the powers of the court to initiate conciliation procedures in court proceedings, analyzes the right of a judge to appoint a conciliation procedure on his own initiative. The regularities that allow to identify the relationship between the activity of judges in offering mediation procedures to the parties and the successful decision-making by the parties in favor of conducting a conciliation procedure are revealed. The article analyzes the problems of judicial mediation. Proposals have been made to create and legislate an algorithm for the interaction of the mediator and the court during the conciliation procedure after the initiation of proceedings in the case. The authors of the article consider the possibility of using the institution of suspension of proceedings in connection with the use of conciliation procedure. The problem of the mediator’s lack of a special procedural status is analyzed, which deprives him of the opportunity to participate in the proceedings on the case and complicates the process of interaction with the judge. The authors formulated the main tasks set for the implementation of research-to-practice project “Conciliation in civil and administrative procedure” in the next reporting period.

Published: December 2023

The issues of verification by the court for the results of the parties’ conciliation activities are analyzed. The limits of the control activity of the court are determined when it approves the settlement agreement. The nature of reconciliation results is investigated in the context of specific types of conciliation procedures: mediation, negotiations, judicial mediation. As a result of the analysis of doctrine and judicial practice, the author concludes that it is expedient to transfer the authority to certify and legally examine the results of any conciliation procedures to a notary. This proposal is considered in the context of optimizing the civil process and reducing the burden on the judicial system.
The Influence of Peer Interaction on Emotion Regulation in the English Classroom
Authors: Kawasaki Misako
Published: December 2023

This study is a classroom-based case study on emotion regulation (ER) in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. In order to clarify the influence of peer interaction on ER, this study aimed to: (a) identify the types of emotions that the students experience in the EFL classroom, (b) determine the situations in English classes that elicit these emotions, (c) explore ER strategies employed by the students, and (d) examine the influence of peer interaction on ER. The participants in this study were 26 non-English major first-year Japanese university students who attended my English class in the spring semester of 2022. The students answered two open-ended questionnaires and the results were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The students experienced a variety of negative and positive emotions and regulated their emotions using different ER strategies in various specific situations in the English classroom. The students also perceived the positive effects of peer interaction on emotion regulation (ER), such as a decrease in negative emotions and an increase in positive emotions. This study highlights the potential benefits of peer interaction in ER and the findings contribute to ongoing discussions on the role of interaction and the importance of ER for learners in EFL classroom. 本研究は、外国語としての英語の授業内における感情調節（ER）に関する事例研究である。本研究目的は次の4つである。（a）学生が英語の授業において経験する感情の種類を明らかにすること、（b）英語の授業のどのような状況で、そのような感情が引き起こされるかを明らかにすること、（c）学生が用いる感情調整戦略を探ること、（d）感情調整に及ぼす仲間の相互作用（ピア・インタラクション）の影響を検討することである。本研究の参加者は、2022年春学期に筆者の英語の授業に出席した、英語専攻でない日本人の大学1年生26名である。学生たちは2つの自由記述式アンケートに回答し、その結果を量的・質的に分析した。その結果、学生たちは様々なネガティブな感情とポジティブな感情を経験し、授業内の様々な具体的な状況において異なるER戦略を用いて感情を調節していた。また、学生たちは、否定的感情の減少や肯定的感情の増加といった、ピア・インタラクションが感情調節に及ぼす肯定的な効果を認識していた。本研究は、感情調整におけるピア・インタラクションの潜在的利点を明らかにすることによって、外国語教室におけるインタラクションの役割と学習者にとっての感情調整についての研究に貢献するものである。
La ¿Violencia? En el pasado reflexiones sobre su abordaje en bioarqueología
Authors: Bettera Marcat Gianina , Paladea Rojo Ailem , Seldes Veronica
Published: December 2023

In this paper we discuss the legitimized ways of " making science " by the academy and, as part of this process, those frames of reference considered valid for inferences in archaeology and bioarchaeology. Based on bioarchaeological violence studies and the interpretations that result from trauma analyses, we question the ways in which these indicators are named and referred to in research, as well as bioarchaeological indicators of conflict are described and quantified. In this sense, we propose the exercise of considering other ontologies of knowledge as theoretical alternatives for the inferences and interpretations of traumatic injuries. Thus, we consider the contributions of philosophical trends such as the ontological turn and the decolonial turn, decentring ourselves from the Western perspective proposed by modern science in order to apprehend the experiences of those who went through these events.
La categoría del arte en el antiguo Egipto: una reflexión desde el giro ontológico
Authors: Romero Victoria Celeste
Published: December 2023

Las expresiones artísticas del antiguo Egipto fueron estudiadas tradicionalmente por la egiptología a la luz de las concepciones estéticas del arte occidental. En este sentido, las tendencias decimonónicas se basaron en una escala valorativa desde una noción evolucionista, a partir de la cual las representaciones egipcias son consideradas menos desarrolladas que épocas posteriores, hasta la afirmación de la inexistencia del arte en este contexto histórico, debido a la ausencia de un término lingüístico propio de la lengua jeroglífica para su denominación.

En el presente trabajo reflexionamos sobre el uso de la categoría ‘arte’ en el Egipto antiguo a partir un recorrido por las concepciones bosquejadas desde la ontología moderna de finales del siglo 18 y principios del siglo 19. Por otra parte, desplegamos aquellas posturas críticas acerca del arte en diálogo con las concepciones más recientes de la disciplina egiptológica durante los siglos 20 y 21. Finalmente, proponemos un estudio de caso de las representaciones de las ofrendas a los difuntos a partir de la reflexión desde las posturas del giro ontológico y decolonial.
Application of the business process re-engineering mechanism in the construction of an adaptive management system at the enterprise in the conditions of entering foreign markets
Authors: BORTNIKOVA Mariana , PAVLYK Oleh
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The relevance of the problem of building and using an adaptive management system at an enterprise lies in the fact that entering foreign markets requires a revision of the strategy, because in the context of international competition, changing demand and consumer habits, an adaptive management system is needed that will allow for a quick response to changes and meet the requirements of the foreign market. The most common problem is the lack of a clear methodology and systematization in planning, implementing and controlling the processes of adaptation to new markets. This is mainly due to the unstructured nature of adaptive business processes, which has a negative impact on the efficiency of companies and their ability to meet the challenges associated with entering foreign markets.
The purpose of the paper is to study the problems of adaptive management and to develop a mechanism for reengineering business processes when building and using an adaptive management system at an enterprise in the context of entering foreign markets.
Results. In modern international business, the practice of using the business process reengineering mechanism is gaining momentum, which allows building a system that ensures the prompt and adaptive combination of activities of various departments and branches of an enterprise into end-to-end business processes controlled by management. The development of a mechanism for reengineering business processes at an enterprise will facilitate the construction and use of an adaptive management system by introducing innovations, optimizing business procedures, which will allow the company to be more flexible and readier to respond to changes in the conditions of entering foreign markets. The development of a business process reengineering mechanism is intended to solve the problems associated with the need to adapt the company to the new conditions and challenges of foreign markets.
Conclusion. Based on a comprehensive analysis of potential problems, it has been determined that the most urgent problem in the process of building and using an adaptive management system at an enterprise in the context of entering foreign markets is the unstructured adaptive business processes at the enterprise. The recommended way to solve this problem is to develop a mechanism for reengineering business processes. The development of a mechanism for reengineering business processes will help to solve the problems associated with the need to adapt the enterprise to the new conditions and challenges of foreign markets.
Equity as a source of long-term financial investments in the context of NP(S)BO and IFRS
Authors: OVSIUK Nina , BURDEINA Yuliia , HODUNOVA Hanna
Published: December 2023

Investments are an important component of the development of the enterprise, individual industries and the country's economy as a whole. The ability to invest depends on the efficiency of one's own production, the ability to solve social and environmental problems, and the potential dynamism of the financial and human capital of the business entity. Without a reliable basis for investment activities, determining the role of own capital as a source of long-term financial investments, it is difficult to hope for the progress of domestic production, and with it, a corresponding place in the world economy. The sources of formation of the company's financial resources are its own and borrowed funds. Equity characterizes the total value of the company's assets, which are owned by it and used to form part of the assets on an irrevocable and free basis. Financial investments involve the use of one's own capital for the acquisition (purchase) of shares, bonds and other securities issued by an enterprise or the state. Financial investments can be formed and held for various purposes: to receive income, to control the economic activity of the investment object, to place temporarily free funds or property, for further sale, etc. The lack of financial resources in the necessary volume causes a violation of payment discipline and a decrease in the level of financial stability of enterprises, and therefore of the national economy. International practice has determined the limit when it is expedient to finance about 50% of the company's needs in financial resources at the expense of borrowed funds. However, the increase in investments at the expense of own capital contributes to the reduction of the enterprise's dependence on loan sources of financing, which provides conditions for the formation of financial stability and solvency and enables its ability to self-finance. Therefore, the optimal structure of investment financing sources should ensure the highest profitability of funds, taking into account the solvency and financial stability of the business entity. On the part of state bodies, it is expedient to strengthen control over compliance by enterprises with accounting norms and standards and to apply sanctions for their violation.
Overview of the foreign exchange market of Ukraine in the conditions of martial law
Authors: IVASHCHENKO Alla , DEBYCH Anhelina , KARPIKOV Artem
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the peculiarities of the functioning of the currency market of Ukraine in the conditions of martial law and takes into account the aspect of economic and political components. The data of the study of the currency market of Ukraine during the war period are presented and their content is analyzed. The causes and factors influencing the formation and activity of the foreign exchange market are identified, and proposals are given for carrying out stabilization measures and minimizing currency risks in conditions of stress and uncertainty caused by the war. The main elements of the NBU's regulatory easing policy on the currency market of Ukraine in wartime conditions are outlined. One of the first steps taken by the National Bank of Ukraine in times of macroeconomic and military-political instability were the measures of strict currency regulation aimed at minimizing currency risks. In order to maintain financial stability, the NBU had to introduce strict currency restrictions and fix the exchange rate of the hryvnia to the US dollar. Such administrative intervention helped to balance the foreign exchange market in conditions where it would have been impossible to do so by market methods. The temporary fixation of the exchange rate, strict restrictions on currency transactions, restrictions on withdrawals from currency accounts and other measures became a reliable basis for stabilizing both the currency market and the financial system of Ukraine. Of course, administrative restrictions smooth out temporary distortions in the foreign exchange market, but over time they can lead to the accumulation of imbalances, since the market mechanism of balancing the demand and supply of currency in search of exchange rate equilibrium ceases to operate, which sooner or later can lead to or to sudden major crises, or to endless stagnation. Therefore, long-term regulation of the foreign exchange market by strict administrative measures can have negative consequences. This prompted the NBU, in accordance with the new strategy of gradually abandoning the fixed exchange rate of the hryvnia, to switch to the strategy of easing currency restrictions and returning to flexible exchange rate formation and targeting. This strategy is one of the structural beacons of the memorandum with the IMF, which will determine the sequence of steps to liberalize currency restrictions and return to a more flexible exchange rate regime. If such mitigations are not made even in the conditions of a brutal war, the consequences for the country's financial system and the functioning of business can be negative.

Authors: POSTNOVA Natalia
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The paper is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the legal regulation of international mixed (multimodal) transportation of goods, passengers and luggage in a special period. In the conditions of war, the country's transport and logistics system plays the role of ensuring Ukraine's humanitarian, food, and energy security.
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the problematic aspects of the legal regulation of international mixed (multimodal) transportation of goods, passengers and luggage, and to determine directions for improving the legislation in this area in the modern conditions of the development of transport corridors.
Results. The author pays attention to the expansion of international multimodal transport corridors TEN-T on the territory of Ukraine and their influence on the intensification of international mixed transportation. It has been established that a successfully integrated transport system involves not only the combination and interaction of all participants in mixed transportation, but also the creation of a single legal and informational field, coordination of technical and operational characteristics of vehicles, infrastructure facilities, coordination and optimization of work schedules of various types of transport and all it is within different legal systems.
Conclusions. The author concludes that due to the fact that international mixed transportation has become the only possible option for the delivery of cargo, passengers and luggage both from Ukraine to the countries of other continents and to Ukraine, the issue of unification of international legal regulation of multimodal transportation and the introduction of digital transport corridors is becoming urgent more and more acute.

King Coconut (KC) is an indigenous and highly valuable germplasm resource in Sri Lanka. Yet, KC populations' genetic diversity, relationships, and conservation strategies are not fully understood. Indigenous old KC populations have been dispersed across a few ancient villages in Sri Lanka. Five geographically dispersed locations were selected in Sri Lanka, and 20 KC individuals from each location were collected for the current study. Six randomly selected samples from every geographical location, together with the standard two Sri Lanka Red Dwarf and two Sri Lanka Tall varieties were initially genotyped using 21 SSR markers for polymorphism. Based on the results, ten polymorphic SSR markers were selected and used for genotyping. Power Marker, STRUCTURE, and GenAlex software were used for the SSR genetic analysis. Results revealed 0.62 mean Gene Diversity (Hs), 4.2 mean allele number, and 0.55 polymorphic information content (PIC). Clear differentiation of populations was observed with the STRUCTURE and UPGMA dendrogram. Single branching in the UPGMA dendrogram for Anuradhapura and Marandawila KC populations revealed high genetic uniformity over multi-branched Kadugannawa and Colambageara populations. According to AMOVA, 64% of the genetic variation has been partitioned among populations, indicating moderate population differentiation. Detail analysis, including a higher number of KC populations and systematic molecular analysis using more SSRs/SNPs needed in the future before implementing conservation and utilization strategies.

Background. Pain is a prominent manifestation in chronic immune-inflammatory rheumatic disorders, encompassing both nociceptive and non-nociceptive elements, the latter potentially resulting from central sensitization. The connection between inadequate sleep quality and the onset of central sensitization in individuals with chronic rheumatic diseases has been documented. Objectives. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of pain, sleep quality, and their correlation with pain intensity and disease activity in adults with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Methods. A prospective observational study was conducted, involving patients with RA, AS, and osteoarthritis. We evaluated pain intensity, pain characteristics, and sleep quality. Results. The study group included 152 patients. RA was primarily characterized by nociceptive pain, but AS exhibited a higher prevalence of neuropathic pain. Significant associations were found between PD-Q scores and disease activity in patients with RA, but no such correlations were identified in patients with AS. Individuals with AS showed a significant inverse correlation between PD-Q scores and pain intensity. The PSQI scores did not show any notable variations among the three groupings. The quality of sleep was found to be connected with disease activity in RA but not in AS. A substantial and noteworthy correlation was found between the overall PSQI score and the scores obtained from the PD-Q in both subgroups of RA and AS. Conclusion. Notable connections can be found between disease activity, pain characteristics, and sleep quality in chronic immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Background. Gene polymorphisms affect etanercept’s pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and side effects. This effect is evidenced by the extensive genetic variation in the drug’s targets. Objectives. This study aims to find the association between different genotypes of the promoter region of the TNF-α gene at -308G/A(rs1800629), -857C/T(rs1799724), -863 C/A(rs1800630), -1031 T/C (rs1799964), -806 C/T (rs4248158) and -376 G/A (rs1800750) and the side effects of ETN that occurred to Iraqi RA patients. Method. The trial included patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had been using ETN for at least six months. The participants were from the Baghdad Teaching Hospital Rheumatology Unit. The PCR was sequenced to determine the polymorphism in the TNF- promoter region at sites -308 G/A (rs1800629), -857 C/T (rs1799724), -863 C/A (rs1800630), -1031 T/C (rs1799964), and -376 G/A (rs4248158) (rs1800750). The link between the genetic variation at these loci and the etanercept’s most frequent adverse effect was then investigated. Results. The only genotype of (-376 G/A) significantly related to an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infection is the GG genotype, according to the results of this study. However, genotypes for the remaining SNPs did not demonstrate a statistically significant association between ETN and an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infections, injection site response, or skin rash in patients. Conclusion. This study revealed that only the GG genotype of (-376 G/A) was significantly associated with an elevated risk of upper respiratory tract infection.
Fatores que influenciam a procura de ajuda dos serviços de aborto em Moçambique
Authors: Frederico Monica , Arnaldo Carlos
Published: December 2023

Enquadramento: a procura de ajuda pressupõe um comportamento de busca ativa de informação, aconselhamento, tratamento ou suporte para responder a um problema reconhecido. Objetivo: perceber o processo de busca de ajuda para a interrupção da gravidez pelas adolescentes e jovens, as fontes de ajuda, e os fatores influenciadores. Metodologia: abordagem qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas às enfermeiras dos Serviços de Saúde Amigos dos Adolescentes e Jovens, das urgências de ginecologia e das maternidades de 8 unidades sanitárias das cidades de Maputo e Quelimane; foram entrevistadas igualmente 14 adolescentes e jovens que induziram aborto. Aos dados, foi feita uma análise de conteúdo. Resultados: a procura de serviços de aborto iniciou com a confirmação e reconhecimento da gravidez. As amigas e as irmãs constituíram as fontes iniciais e estímulos para a identificação do provedor para a interrupção da gravidez, depois de analisados os custos e benefícios de continuar ou terminar a gravidez; não perceção da suscetibilidade de ter uma gravidez precoce e a gravidade das suas consequências. Não conhecimento das fontes de ajuda e das leis; medo de exposição pública; falta de recursos financeiros; e o comportamento dos provedores serviram de barreiras neste processo. Conclusão: Há necessidade de uma maior divulgação dos serviços de saúde sexual e reprodutiva disponíveis, bem como promoção da educação sexual, para escolhas saudáveis.
الصورة الشعرية وأثرها البلاغي والنقدي عند الخنساء بين الجاهلية والإسلام دراسة موازنة
Authors: عبيد علاء
Published: December 2023

تعد الخنساء من الشاعرات المجيدات, إذ أبدعت في إنتاجها الصور المعبرة من خلال غزارة المعنى وجودة السبك وتأثيرهما في نفوس المتلقين, خصوصاً انّها من أصحاب المراثي وأن شعرها امتاز بلوعة الفقد والبكاء والعويل, ثم الصبر والبكاء بعد إسلامها, إذ نرى المعاني الإسلامية تنساب في أشعارها لتبين ما أُثر عنها من تأثير نور الإيمان في قلبها.

إنَّ الهدف من اختيار الموضوع هو بيان أثر الصور الشعرية من خلال تناول الصور البلاغية والحسية عندها بين العصرين ( ما قبل الإسلام والإسلامي)؛ للوقوف على أبرز الاختلافات بينهما، وهل هناك فرْقٌ أحدثه الإسلام في نظمها للشعر؟ وقد قمت باختيار بعض النماذج الشعرية التي تخص العصرين لأضع المتلقي أمام قريحتين شعريّتين لعصرين مختلفين, فيسبح خياله البلاغي والنقدي ليلتمس أجمل الصور وأروعها, ثم يرى المتلقي هذا الثراء الأدبي الشعري وجمال تصويره.

إنَّ سبب اختياري للموضوع هو لعدم تطرّق أي من الباحثين لهذه الدراسة فيما يخص (الصورة الشعرية وأثرها البلاغي والنقدي عند الخنساء بين الجاهلية والإسلام دراسة موازنة) على الرغم من أنّها قد واكبت عصرين مضت عليهما قرون من الزمن لكن بعد القراءة والتمحيص وجدت أن أمزج بين العصرين لأستخرج أبهى الصور البلاغية والحسية وأجملها, فأوازن بينها لأرى الأثر الذي أحدثه الإسلام في شعرها.

أوصي الباحثين بدراسة شاعر مخضرم عاش في عصري الجاهلية والإسلام؛ للوقوف على ثراء إنتاجه الشعري بين العصرين والوقوف على أجمل المعاني وأكثرها تأثيراً في نفوس القرّاء , مع عدم إهمال التفسيرات والاستنتاجات والتوصيات التي تفتح آفاق جديدة للباحثين.

The Brazilian Legislation guarantee minimum levels of nutrients to animal feed and these information on the label are used to take purchase decisions to get dairy cattle concentrate feed. It is necessary that the declared values on the labels being more precise as possible. The bromatological analysis allows to verify the real nutrition values and help us in the purchase of the products that attending to the needs of dairy cattle. The objective of this work was to evaluate the centesimal composition of three different commercial dairy cow concentrate and to compare these values with declared on the labels. Physical chemical analysis were carried out to determine the acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), dry matter (DM), total protein (TP), total fiber (TF), minerals (M), fat (F), Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P). The observed values (OV) were compare to the declared label values (DV) by the maker. Following the legislation, it was created a classification criteria to the adequation of the labels: to conform label (C) - samples that presented label values different from those obtained by laboratorial analysis. The maximum and minimum values from the laboratorial analysis were compared to the values permitted by the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry. The results were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey Test at 5% of significance to verify the interactions between the averages. The dairy cow concentrate studied at Vale de São Patrício were considered as good quality and they attending to Brazilian legislation parameters. Through the laboratorial analysis we could verify there was no difference between the samples A, B and C to humidity, dry matter, total protein, fat, minerals, Calcium and Phosphorus levels. Although this, it was observed that the relation between the declared label values and the results from laboratorial analysis differed to some nutritional components of the studied commercial concentrates like humidity.

Published: December 2023

Recently, the interest of the cardiology community has been focused on the results of the latest studies on the use of vasodilating β-blockers in patients with arterial hypertension. A review of these studies demonstrates a number of advantages over conventional cardioselective drugs (without vasodilator properties). The positive features of vasodilating β-adrenoblockers are proven metabolic neutrality, proportional reduction of central and peripheral blood pressure, minimal effect on bronchial patency, the absence of negative effect on erectile function, reduction in the frequency of cardiovascular complications in patients with arterial hypertension.
