Authors:   Perm Financial Economic College – Branch of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Khakimova Y. A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article is devoted to absene of gaps issue of the insurance law. The approaches are considered to the definition of the absence of gaps problem and to the effectiveness of the institution of law.

Authors:   Perm State University, Mamatkazin I. R.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: for more than twenty years, the private pension system has been operating in the Russian Federation. This system is based on pension contracts and pension schemes. The main participant in these relations is a private pension fund, which accumulates deposits of individuals, invests them and pays non-state (private) pensions. Other participants can be both individuals and employers in favor of their employees. It should be noted that the state exercises control over these relations. Despite the contractual nature of the relations, many issues related to non-state pension provision are overloaded with mandatory norms. Other issues, on the contrary, require State intervention in order to protect the rights of individuals. In addition, the issue of the essence of a private pension in comparison with other types of pensions provided for by the current legislation and its legal nature requires special consideration.

Authors:   Ulyanovsk State University, Maximov O. A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article is devoted to the study of the problems of judicial control as an element of the mechanism for the realization of the right to petition and complaint. Recognizing the demand for this tool, there are significant regulatory problems that reduce the prospects for its optimal use for the implementation of the right of persons involved in criminal proceedings to a petition and complaint in terms of determining the subject of appeal.

Published: December 2023

The position of the head of the local administration, in whose hands is the management of the activities of the executive and administrative body for resolving issues of local importance and the implementation of certain state powers and other powers of local self-government, occupies a special place in the organizational system of local self-government. The article considers the necessity and validity of the introduction of an organizational model into Russian local self-government, which provides for the filling of the position of the head of the local administration on the basis of a competition. The history of the competition and the position experience of introducing professional managers into the local government system is given, the genesis of the development of the issue in Russian legislation is investigated.
Various circumstances are pointed out that prevent a positive assessment of the competition for the filling of a key position of local self-government by the scientific community and municipal practitioners (municipalities lack the right to independently make a decision on the application of the competitive election of the head of the municipality or the appointment of the head of the local administration, the actual non-participation of the population in the procedure of filling the position, which contradicts the nature of local self-government, and others).
Taking into account the types of municipalities, the statistical data of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation are analyzed for the actual implementation of organizational models provided by the municipality using a competition to fill the position of the head of the local administration.
The features and disadvantages of the competition as a way of electing the head of a municipality are considered. The article formulates proposals for improving legislation in the direction of unification of competitive procedures and requirements of professionalism and competence for candidates for the position of head of a municipality and head of a local administration.

Authors: Ogorodnikova Tatyana , Shipunova Irina
Published: December 2023

The study differentiates the categories of economic resources and factors of production in the context of ideas about energy characteristics of the economic system. It opens up the possibility of searching for new methods and tools of economic policy that ensure the development of the economic system by increasing the efficiency of forming resource potential and using it as factors of production. The author's approach to the methodological characteristics of Labor, Land, Capital and Entrepreneurship is proposed in the light of dualism: «economic resource — production factor». We discussed the conditions for the transformation of potential resource opportunities into an economically active form of means of production that create a product to meet the needs of society. The concepts of potential production energy of labor, energy of production activity of labor, total production energy of labor were introduced and formalized.
We propose a quantitative assessment of the level of employment of human capital. The authors proposed indicators to assess the factors of production: Earth (potential productive energy of nature; energy of the productive activity of nature; total productive energy of nature; the level of employment of Natural capital); Capital (employment rate of technical and technological capital); Entrepreneurial abilities (share of the Entrepreneurial ability factor in the value of human capital, marginal propensity for entrepreneurial activity).
Implementation of the Idea of a Welfare State in Mutual Insurance
Authors: Ageeva Evgeniya
Published: December 2023

One of the problems of the insurance market of the Russian Federation is lack of trust of the population towards commercial insurance companies and low level of financial literacy of the population. With poor financial literacy, citizens often cannot get the level of insurance they wanted. In addition, high cost of policies and low incomes of the population and small businesses scare away potential insurers. Mutual insurance could be the method of creating an insurance product that will ensure that population have financial capabilities to purchase the insurance. By developing mutual insurance as a type of social entrepreneurship, the state can achieve certain results in terms of level of protection of the population from risks, development of the financial market, and financial literacy of the population. The purpose of the study was to determine the possibility of developing mutual insurance in the Russian insurance market based on the active implementation of the idea of social economy, which ultimately can lead to increased efficiency and social justice in the market with maximum consideration of the interests of consumers. The specific nature of the business model of mutual insurance meets the psychological needs of citizens: protection, solidarity, mutual assistance and equal democratic participation in governance. However, the state has to recognize the importance of this direction and pay sufficient attention to ensure the financial sustainability of mutual insurance societies. The development of mutual insurance as a type of social entrepreneurship will reverse citizens mistrust of insurance. In addition, it will provide citizens with insurance services at a fair price and according to their needs.

Authors: Berezkin Yuri , Dalbaeva Valentina
Published: December 2023

The development of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia is associated with a number of problems, including low availability of bank loans as the main source of financing activity. During the pandemic, measures provided at the state level to support entrepreneurs helped to mitigate the negative consequences, however, the reduction in the number of small and medium-sized businesses continued. The purpose of the study is to analyze current trends in the development of bank financing of small and medium-sized businesses, the impact of the pandemic on its main indicators. The article examines the dynamics of the main indicators of bank financing of small and medium-sized businesses in 2019–2021: loan debts, including overdue loans, the volume of loans issued. With the help of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, the relationship between the indicator of the debt burden of small and medium-sized businesses and the level of overdue debt on loans granted to small and medium-sized businesses in the context of federal districts is determined. The study showed that the relationship between these factors is weak, therefore, at present, the level of the debt burden of entrepreneurs does not significantly affect the formation of overdue loans, which puts forward the task of further searching for the causes of its occurrence and ways to reduce it.

Published: December 2023

The objective of the study was the translation and adaptation of Motivation Toward the Environment Scale (Pelletier et al., 1998) into the Russian language. The methodology is based on the theory of self-determination, where behavior is determined by different reasons and the level of control. The scale contains 6 types of motivation: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, which includes integrated, identified, introjected and externally regulated motivation, and amotivation. On a sample of 462 respondents, the factorial structure of the scale and the internal consistency of the subscales were confirmed. Further, the test-retest validity of the scale was demonstrated (n = 56). To study convergent validity, correlations of motivation types with environmental concerns and nature connectedness were considered. The most self-determined types of motivation (intrinsic, integrated, identified, and introjected) were positively related to each other and to proenvironmental variables. The identified regulation, which focuses on the expediency of pro-environmental actions, is the most common, both in Canada, where the scale was developed, and in Russia. Other types of motivation were also positively related to each other. Externally regulated motivation, which considers social influence rather than economic incentives in this scale, was the least related to other study variables. Additionally, the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on the types of motivation was considered, where gender and income level turned out to be significant variables. The analysis revealed that the adapted scale is largely equivalent to the original one. Based on the obtained results, the reliability, the test-retest, and the convergent validity of the adapted inventory for measuring pro-environmental motivation were proved.
Developmental Knot: From M. Mamardashvili towards L. Vygotsky. A Comparative Study in Personology
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Belorusets Arseniy S.
Published: December 2023

This study delves into the examination of three models developed by Lev Vygotsky, namely the instrumental act model, the zigzag model of meaningful action, and the model of psychological age dynamics. The objective is to uncover the common features among these models and to attempt their productive synthesis. The first model introduces the concept of indirect movement and highlights the dual nature of the mediating link, X, which acts as both a thing and a meaning. The second model, influenced by K. Levin, emphasizes the emergence of a distinct plane of meaning within which the acting subject navigates and constructs their path. The third model focuses on the subject's development through the progressive evolution of their field of meanings. These models are compared with a series of graphical models of development proposed in different contexts by Merab Mamardashvili and subsequently reconstructed and generalized by Andrey Paramonov. While these models exhibit similar trajectories to Vygotsky's works, notable differences arise. Mamardashvili's model incorporates a visual representation of the stage involving the “turning inside out” of the life field through a selected symboltool, resembling the concept of catharsis in “Psychology of Art,” albeit not explicitly expressed in Vygotsky's models. Overall, Vygotsky's and Mamar dashvili's models are seen as complementary to each other. The aim is to integrate these models based on shared elements, resulting in a comprehensive model illustrating the movement of the Self and serving as an example of symbolic mediation as opposed to signmediation.

EXPLORING GENERATION Z TEACHERS’ WORK VALUES: IMPLICATIONS TO EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Venida Ariel C.
Published: December 2023

Being a leader or a manager in today’s organizations has become even more challenging due to increased workplace generational diversity. Gen Z teachers belong to the newest generation who have officially joined the workforce, making schools home to four different generations with unique work values. As more generations of teachers enter the workforce, one-size-fits-all management and leadership style becomes no longer applicable. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the school leaders and managers to better understand how to effectively lead and manage these generations to create an appropriate working environment that will facilitate the growth of every teacher. The main objective of this study was to explore the work values of Gen Z teachers using the phenomenological approach of qualitative inquiry. It employed a semi-structured interview as the primary data collection procedure conducted with seven purposively chosen teachers and thematic analysis to determine the themes. The study revealed that Gen Z teachers give importance to both intrinsic and extrinsic work values. They value personal skills development, professional growth and development, personal achievement and recognition, healthy working relationships, teamwork, collaboration in the workplace, work-life balance, and job and financial security. The study further revealed that Gen Z teachers’ work values positively affect their job motivation, job satisfaction, and performance. This suggests that if the organization implements policies and strategies that coincide with the work values of its Gen Z teachers, teachers will most likely perform well because they are motivated and satisfied with their job. With these findings, it is recommended that school leaders and managers should consider Gen Z teachers’ work values in crafting school policies and management strategies.

Published: December 2023

Recently, attending seminars or professional development programs for teachers is not sufficient to cope with today's teaching challenges. In addition, tight schedules and preparing teaching administration often refrain teachers to work and discuss together with their colleagues. Pointing out such problems, this study tries to investigate how mentoring program for EFL teachers in Indonesia was conducted collaboratively at schools through a lesson study approach and what teachers’ competencies were improved during the program. Eight EFL teachers from three Islamic junior high schools (called madrasahs) and a university lecturer serving as a mentor were involved in the program. Data gathered from observations, questionnaires, and interviews were analyzed qualitatively through (1) iterative reading of the data, (2) reducing the data, (3) categorizing the data, (4) combining all data, and (5) concluding the data.  The findings indicate that the lesson study cycle involved in this program covered two stages of PLAN, one stage of DO, and SEE. The participant teachers required more time during the planning due to several factors such as adjustment working with the revised Curriculum recently released by the government at the time of data collection, and challenges in aligning learning objectives, classroom activities, and evaluation. Upon their involvement in the program, the teachers reported that they gained benefits and strong improvements in four aspects of teachers' competencies, namely professional, pedagogical, social, and personal competencies from the collaboration with peer teachers and a university lecturer. For instance, they found their knowledge extending in terms of teaching techniques and methods, planning and implementing effective lessons, and their motivation to teach better and share resources with others increasing as well. In short, mentoring through lesson study is valuable to improve the teachers’ competencies.

Published: December 2023

Physical distancing policy as the response to pandemic covid-19 has forced the educational institutes to provide online learning for the students. The students and lecturer have to adapt to using online platforms to continue the learning activities. An E-learning platform is needed for distance learning. This research aims to analyze the preference of e-learning platforms among Google Classroom, Youtube, Whatsapp, and Zoom for students in a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process approach. Several criteria are formulated for determining the e-learning platform based on the students’ common difficulties during online-based learning, namely service of platform, learning comprehension, internet usage, and network strength. The result shows that learning comprehension has the highest weight (0.363), followed by network strength (0.258), internet usage (0.230), and platform service (0.149). Learning comprehension has become the most important criterion that students consider on selecting an e-learning platform. The final result from the Analytical Hierarchy Process approach proposes the best alternative e-learning platform for students based on the previous criteria. Based on the research, Whatsapp is an e-learning platform with the highest weight of 0.359. Therefore, it is determined for recommendation as to the most suitable e-learning platform for students. It has a high local weight based on each criterion considered in selecting an e-learning platform. The result of this study is expected to be input for lecturers and education institutions to evaluate the platforms they use and e-learning processes.
EXPLORING LEGITIMATE PERIPHERAL PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS IN A COLLEGE MATHEMATICS COURSE
Authors: Ignacio Jr. Avelino G.
Published: December 2023

Students, by just listening to and being observant of mathematical procedures to gain conceptual knowledge in mathematics, do not often lead valuable performance. Students need to participate. Learning is initiated and enhanced via continuing legitimate participation in a community of practice. Hence, this study explores students' legitimate peripheral participation in a college mathematics course, explicitly to describe the (1) activities students do to refine practice, (2) barriers students face to advance to full participation, and (3) participation support structures that allow students' legitimate peripheral participation. This study used qualitative-exploratory research design via the qualitative tool—reflective journal—comprising second-year teacher education students (N = 42) from a state university in Bulacan, Philippines, taking the Logic and Set Theory course as study participants, obtained purposively. Data were analyzed through thematic coding. This study showed that the activities of students that refine their practice could be thematized as individual engagement or collaborative involvement. Students faced both intrinsic and extrinsic barriers in progressing to full participation. The participation support structures facilitating students' legitimate peripheral participation were the manifestation of a welcoming environment that offered students additional practice activities to work into supplemented with constructive feedback, joined with the convenience of peer groups where they could go when needed. Inspirational life quotes, fascinating lessons that stir interest, and closed knowledge gaps equally enable student participation. A legitimate peripheral participation activity cycle may still arise when faced with difficulties as participants gradually try to work independently. A friendship-based collaborative group is suggested for Filipino learners.

In this law, one of the violations is overexposure, which refers to women wearing miniskirts. At that time, the police usually carried a ruler on patrol and often stopped women who wore skirts to measure the length. If the skirt worn has a hemline of 17 cm above the knee, the woman will be penalized. This policy was made because the view of the miniskirt does not fit the norms and traditions of the Korean women clothing, which creates controversy. Therefore, the research question in this study is how Confucianism norms justify the miniskirt policy for Korean women. This study uses a descriptive analysis method with the help of literature study. This study aims to explain Confucianism norms as the influence of the establishment of the South Korean miniskirt policy in 1973. The results show that the establishment of the miniskirt policy in 1973 was triggered by Confucianism norms, especially dress etiquette for Korean women which were regulated by Confucian officials. This norm was re-emphasized during the Park Chung-hee era through this policy, where Confucianism was a value that was applied to his government to strengthen the identity of the Korean nation.
