Authors: Анашкин А.В. , Захаров Г.Е.
Published: November 2021

Настоящая работа включает в себя перевод с латинского языка послания римского папы Зосима епископу Салоны (Далмация) Исихию (418 г.), а также вступительную статью и историко-филологический комментарий. Текст написан в ответ на обращение Исихия к Римской кафедре. Салонский епископ стремится заручиться поддержкой апостольского престола в борьбе против практики поставления в епископы и пресвитеры мирян и монахов, не прошедших все ступени церковно- и священнослужения. Папа одобряет позицию Исихия и описывает cursus honorumклирика. Послание содержит сведения о развитии церковного строя в Западном Иллирике и идеи римского первенства в позднеантичный период.

This work includes a translation from Latin of the epistle of Pope Zosimus to Bishop of Salona Hesychius (418), as well as an introductory article and historical and philological commentaries. The text was written in response to the appeal of Hesychius to the Roman see. The Bishop of Salona seeks to receive the support of the Apostolic See in his struggle against the practice of ordination of laymen and monks (who have not passed all levels of ecclesiastical ministry) as bishops and presbyters. The Pope approves the position of Hesychius and describes step by step the cleric's cursus honorum. The epistle also contains information about the development of the church organization in Western Illyricum and of the idea of ​​Roman primacy in the period of Late Antiquity.

Adverse reactions which are clinically diverse increases the overall cost of care, as it often results in additional days of hospitalisation, clinical investigations and treatment drugs. Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate direct medical costs among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who experienced adverse drug reactions (ADRs) during hospitalisation and identification of associated drug classes and clinical symptoms. Individual direct medical costs from the perspective of Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia among stages 3–5 CKD patients who experienced ADRs during hospitalisation were evaluated from 2014 till 2016. A higher number of days of hospitalisation (11.5 [4.25–39.25] days), ward and laboratory costs (RM48.50 [0–195.75]) plus drug costs (RM2.05 [0–91.30]) were observed among patients who did not survive ADRs. The highest number of hospitalisations, monitoring and laboratory costs were attributed to anti-arrhythmic drug class (11.0 [4.00–] days; RM326.00 [0–]) and haematological reactions (11.0 [1.00–19.00] days; RM116.80 [±112.38]). Furthermore, the highest treatment drug cost was attributed to anti-platelet (RM104.60 [0–]) and psychiatric reactions (RM17.50 [±24.13]). Top five major treatment drug classes contributed to ADRs were anti-infectives (n = 63 [39.4%]), anti-hypertensive (n = 23 [14.4%]), analgesic (n = 12 [7.5%]), statin (n = 10 [6.3%]) and anti-diabetic (n = 8 [5.0%]). Antibacterial constitutes the majority of the anti-infectives reactions. Vancomycin (n = 7 [13.7%]) tops the most ADRs contributing antibacterial. ADRs experienced during hospitalisation caused prolongation of hospitalisation and its associated investigational and treatment charges. The true value of the cost estimate could be much higher than the calculated value as the indirect costs were not included in the final estimates of this study and as a result of the Malaysian government’s waiver policy.

Global tuberculosis (TB) burden underscores the importance of developing new effective anti-TB drugs. This study was concerned with prospecting for potential anti-TB agents from Malaysian medicinal plants. In our previous study, we have reported that n-hexane fractions of Costus speciosus (C. speciosus) (J. Koening) Sm., Cymbopogon citratus (C. citratus ) (DC.) Stapf. and Tabernaemontana coronaria (T. coronaria) (Jacq.) posses promising anti-TB activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) H37Rv with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 200–100 µg/mL. This study aimed to investigate the interactions of these active fractions with first-line anti-TB drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and streptomycin) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv using the microdilution checkerboard method. C. citratus (stem-rhizome) n-hexane fraction exhibited synergism with all drugs except ethambutol which showed additive interaction. Synergistic was also observed when C. speciosus (stem-flower) n-hexane and T. coronaria (leaf) n-hexane fractions in combination with rifampicin. C. speciosus (stem-flower) n-hexane and T. coronaria (leaf) n-hexane exhibited additive interaction with isoniazid, ethambutol and streptomycin. Hence, these active plants are worthy of further investigations for the discovery of anti-TB drug leads.

Medication review is an important service in optimising medicine use and improves clinical outcomes. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication review on patients’ knowledge and adherence. For this prospective study, 480 patients were randomly recruited in six primary healthcare clinics in Petaling District Health Office. Patients were interviewed with a questionnaire and validated medication adherence scale during recruitment and at follow-up visit to assess their medication knowledge and adherence. The data was analysed using Chi-square tests and paired t-tests to determine the correlation between medication knowledge and adherence with patient demographics. Among 408 patients that had completed the follow-up, 16.9% of patients showed medication knowledge deficits on recruitment. However, there is a significant improvement in the medication knowledge indices during the follow-up session (p < 0.001). Elderly patients were found to benefit from medication review with better medication knowledge and adherence postmedication review. The study found that the number of good adherers increased by 29.3% after the medication review. A further study demonstrating the effectiveness of medication review in cultivating knowledge retention and sustained adherence in the longer-term is warranted. Future work shall also focus on measuring the cost-effectiveness of pharmacistled medication review implementation in primary healthcare settings. Pharmacist-led medication review is an essential and effective service in primary health care facilities for patients to enhance their knowledge on their medications, and adherence especially in elderly patients on chronic medications.

Child burials in domestic contexts at an Iron Age hillfort: The Oppidum of Monte Bernorio (Villarén, Palencia)
Authors: Carnicero-Cáceres Silvia , Torres-Martínez Jesús F.
Published: November 2021

The practice of child burials underneath house floors in the Late Prehistory has been considered a characteristic trait of the Iberian religion. However, this custom has also been documented in different archaeological sites both in the Mediterranean and Central Europe as well as Celtic areas of the Iberian Peninsula, so we can explain this funerary practice by an Indo-European origin. We report the archeotanatological and osteoarcheological study of 10 subadults found in the Iron Age site of Monte Bernorio oppidum, the first archeological site in the western and central Cantabrian region with this funerary rite documented. It is the confirmation of both, the survival of an ancient funerary ritual, widely extended in all Europe, and its presence in the north of the Iberian Peninsula. We also review all the archeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula with similar archeological contexts and analyse the rite from the bioarcheology of the care.
PCSK9 as a New Player in Cancer: New Opportunity or Red Herring?
Authors: Bonaventura Aldo , Vecchié Alessandra , Ruscica Massimiliano , Grossi Francesco , Dentali Francesco
Published: November 2021

:

Initially described as a factor involved in liver regeneration and neuronal differentiation,
proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has become one of the
key regulators of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Beside that, a number of studies
have suggested PCSK9 may play a role in cancer biology. This is particularly true for gastroenteric
(gastric and liver cancers) and lung cancers, where higher PCSK9 levels were
associated with the increased ability of the tumor to develop and give metastasis as well
as with reduced overall survival. Accordingly, monoclonal antibodies blocking PCSK9
were recently shown to synergize with immunotherapy in different types of cancers to
achieve tumor growth suppression through an increased intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic
T cells. Anti-PCSK9 vaccines have been tested in animal models with encouraging
results only in colon carcinoma. As most of this evidence is based on pre-clinical studies,
this has led to some controversies and inconsistencies, thus suggesting that additional research
is needed to clarify the topic. Finally, modulation of intracellular PCSK9 levels by
silencing RNA (siRNA) may help understand the physiological and pathological mechanisms
of PCSK9.
Clinical and pathogenetic approaches to early rehabilitation of ischaemic stroke patients
Authors: Sayfullaevich Pulatov Sadriddin
Published: November 2021

Stroke is the most important medical and social problem, both worldwide and in Uzbekistan, owing to its high morbidity, mortality and disability rates. Uzbekistan's official statistical authorities consider cerebrovascular disease (CVD) to be a single nosological form, without distinguishing it from stroke. Given that the structure of CVDs includes both acute cerebrovascular disorders (ACS) (various types and subtypes of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke) and chronic CVDs (various forms of so-called dyscirculatory encephalopathy), reliable epidemiological data on stroke prevalence in Uzbekistan are not available. According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, there were 62876 cases of stroke in Uzbekistan in 2019. 15% were fatal, 10-15% relapsed and 55-70% became disabled.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Self-esteem and social anxiety could affect both the social life and school success of adolescents. Wearing spectacles in adolescence may be related to self-esteem and social anxiety. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the level of self-esteem and social anxiety between adolescents who wear spectacles and those who do not. Methods: This comparative descriptive study which was conducted in Sivas Cumhuriyet University Ophthalmology outpatient clinic between March-July 2021, consisted of 108 adolescents who have been wearing spectacles for at least one year, and age and sex-matched, 150 healthy adolescents. Self-esteem was measured by Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and social anxiety was measured by Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised. The socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and clinical data on spectacle were evaluated via a sociodemographic data form. Results: 69 (63.9%) of the study group were girls, and the mean age was 12.92±1.55 years. For the right eyes, the mean spherical equivalent (SE) value was -1.10±3.23 D and it was -1.15±3.39 D for the left eyes. The mean self-esteem scores of the spectacle wearers were significantly lower (22.53±4.60 vs. 25.50±2.05, p<0.001), and the mean social anxiety scale scores were significantly higher (40.23±10.90 vs. 36.13±7.57, p=0.006) compared the control group. When the patients were evaluated as myopic (n=78) and hyperopic (n=30) regarding the SE, even though there was an increase in the social anxiety score as the degree of myopia increased for both eyes (for right, r=.-280, p=0.01, and for left, r=.-235, p=0.04), there was no significant correlation with self-esteem scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: Wearing spectacles in adolescence seems to be related to self-esteem and social anxiety. An appropriate approach would be to perform a thorough psychological evaluation of adolescents who wear spectacles.

This paper investigates the composition, properties and reactivity of a red mud waste generated in Saudi Arabia with a view to find alternative materials to replace construction binders of high environmental impact. The phase transformation triggered by the sintering of the RM up to 1000°C is determined with thermal and X-Ray Diffraction analyses. Reactivity is investigated with chemical and physical methods including the Chapelle test, setting times, mechanical index and microscopy. The RM is clearly pozzolanic, and its activity is mainly due to the reaction of feldespathoids and the formation of zeolitic and feldspathoid-based hydrates. The positive effects of the thermal treatment are seen below 750°C, and include the loss of water in the zeolite/feldespathoids, and the destruction of the crystal structures of the clay minerals inherited form the parent bauxite. The negative effects of the thermal treatment are evidenced over 750°C, with a decrease in specific surface area, devitrification and crystal formation, whereby the active transition aluminas and the fedespathoids/zeolites (mainly cancrinite) transform into nepheline, tricalcium aluminate (C3A) and gehlenite. Despite the occurrence of nepheline, C3A and gehlenite in the RM sintered at 1000°C, the formation of pozzolanic hydrates that cause setting and strength development are greater at lower temperature. The optimum thermal treatment that enhances pozzolanic activity lies at c.400°C, as evidenced by the highest lime combination, the greatest mechanical index and the fastest set. The RM consists of gibbsite and boehmite, inherited from the bauxite, and cancrinite, chantalite and sodalite formed during the Bayer process. Feldespathoids have formed, instead of zeolites, due to the available silica and the high alkali content of the RM. The quick lime -CaO -, added twice during the refining process, has transformed the original goethite into hematite, and produced cancrinite. The Saudi RM has high SiO2 and high alkalinity, and an abundant specific surface area available for reaction. The chloride and carbon contents are low, and no environmental toxicity is inferred from its chemistry.

Interlanguage Pragmatics Failure among Javanese Learners of Japanese
Authors: Supriatnaningsih Rina , Hariri Tatang , Soepardjo Djodjok , Nurjaleka Lisda , Nurhayati Silvia
Published: November 2021

In the Japanese language, Keigo refers to the politeness in language that one must adhere to during interactions with native speakers. Japanese language students are obliged to pay attention to this principle and behave politely in spoken communication. In the Javanese language, the manner in which speech is delivered, undha usuk, comprises a variety of registers applied to different social contexts, such as krama (High or formal Javanese) and ngoko (Low or vernacular Javanese). Still, other politeness principles are to be taken into account. This study, driven by such a concern, was devoted to examining politeness violations in communications between 108 university students, most of whom were native Javanese speakers. The politeness principle was employed to unravel the issue. Data were collected by recording conversations between participants and native Japanese speakers. A follow-up interview with each subject was also conducted. The results revealed that most students failed to build intercultural communication in Japanese conversation, due to their lack of socio-pragmatic knowledge. Based on the interview results, in daily communication, the students rarely used the Javanese speech act level of krama, instead using basa ngoko or Indonesian. These findings emphasize the socio-pragmatic concept, and more precisely the politeness principles other than the Keigo style, to students. This should minimize the violation of politeness maxims in the Japanese language.

In 2020, arak bali, traditional liquor from Bali, was legalized by the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster. This research aimed to reveal the construction of news headlines about the legalization of arak Bali. Data were sourced from various online news media (detiknews.com, kompas.com, tribunnews.com), collected by selecting news headlines with the keywords arak Bali and pelegalan, and analyzed using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The results showed that the six news headlines used linguistic tools such as selected vocabulary that focused on the word legal, grammatical units that were dominated by clauses, syntactic functions dominated by the discourse’s topicalization, and a form of news emphasizing the statement of the legalization of arak bali by Koster. The mindset of the Balinese towards arak bali cannot be separated from their predominant belief system, Hinduism. Meanwhile, Koster’s commitment to arak bali shows his ideology, as an indigenous Balinese individual, of preserving Balinese culture and traditions. Finally, the headlines on the legalization of arak bali occurred at the situational level, with Balinese people welcoming the legalization of arak bali, resulting in Koster planning to hold an arak bali festival as a means of promoting and preserving Balinese cultureThis research aimed to reveal the construction of the news headlines about the legalization of arak bali by the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster.

Bioactive molecules for regenerative pulp capping
Authors:   School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK, Whitehouse LLE , Thomson NH , Do T , Feichtinger GA
Published: November 2021

Since the discovery of bioactive molecules sequestered in dentine, researchers have been exploring ways to harness their activities for dental regeneration. One specific area, discussed in this review, is that of dental-pulp capping. Dental-pulp caps are placed when the dental pulp is exposed due to decay or trauma in an attempt to enhance tertiary dentine deposition. Several materials are used for dental-pulp capping; however, natural biomimetic scaffolds may offer advantages over manufactured materials such as improved aesthetic, biocompatibility and success rate. The present review discusses and appraises the current evidence surrounding biomimetic dental-pulp capping, with a focus on bioactive molecules sequestered in dentine. Molecules covered most extensively in the literature include transforming growth factors (TGF-βs, specifically TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs, specifically BMP-2 and BMP-7). Further studies would need to explore the synergistic use of multiple peptides together with the development of a tailored scaffold carrier. The roles of some of the molecules identified in dentine need to be explored before they can be considered as potential bioactive molecules in a biomimetic scaffold for dental-pulp capping. Future in vivo work needs to consider the inflammatory environment of the dental pulp in pulpal exposures and compare pulp-capping materials.

Hybrid Classification for Face Spoof Detection
Authors: Mittal Abhishek
Published: November 2021

Abstract: ML (machine learning) is consisted of a method of recognizing face. This technique is useful for the attendance system. Two sets are generated for testing and training phases in order to segment the image, to extract the features and develop a dataset. An image is considered as a testing set; the training set is contrasted when it is essential to identify an image. An ensemble classifier is implemented to classify the test images as recognized or non-recognized. The ensemble algorithm fails to acquire higher accuracy as it classifies the data in two classes. Thus, GLCM (Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix) is projected for analyzing the texture features in order to detect the face. The attendance of the query image is marked after detecting the face. The simulation outcomes revealed the superiority of the projected technique over the traditional methods concerning accuracy. Keywords: DWT, GLCM, KNN, Decision Tree
A Study to Assess the Knowledge on Biomedical Waste Management Among GNM Students at Selected School of Nursing, Vrindavan, Mathura, U.P.
Authors: Mathew Ms. Blessy
Published: November 2021

Abstract: In pursuing the aim of abating health problems and enhancing the quality of care, healthcare facilities inevitably create waste that may itself be hazardous to health. Proper management of such waste is not only a legal, but also a social responsibility of the hospitals. Segregation at the site of waste generation is the first and foremost important step in healthcare waste management. It is emphasized as a means of ensuring that hazardous healthcare risk waste and healthcare general waste are separated and stored in appropriate containers. The importance of segregation is highlighted by the mere fact that only 10% to 25% of waste generated in health facilities is hazardous. Failure of this vital step turns non-hazardous waste into hazardous. Segregation also enables those who handle the containers outside the hospital wards to identify and treat them appropriately. There has been a sharp increase in the amount of waste generated from both health facilities and households. It is estimated that 0.5 to 2.0 kg per bed per day hospital waste is generated in India. Therefore, Biomedical waste must be properly managed and disposed of to protect the environment, general public and workers, especially healthcare and sanitation workers who are at risk of exposure to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard. Objectives 1-To assess the level of knowledge among the GNM students regarding Biomedical waste in selected hospital of Vrindavan. 2- To correlate the knowledge of GNM students regarding Biomedical waste with selected demographic variables Methodology: This study was conducted to assess knowledge among the GNM students regarding Biomedical waste in selected Hospital in Vrindavan, Mathura and the descriptive study design was selected. Population selected was GNM students and sample size were 70. The consent was taken from samples. The subjects were selected by convenient sampling technique. The structured questionnaires were distributed to the students to assess their level of knowledge regarding Biomedical waste management after obtaining an informed consent. Data was collected by using Structured Knowledge Questionnaire. Results: The study revealed that the level of knowledge among the students who has inadequate knowledge was 12.85% those who have moderate knowledge is 67.15% and adequate 20%. The chi-square test revealed that there was significant association with age, and training attended by students on Biomedical waste management and there is no significant association with year, source of information, area of working.

Trançar histórias, cantar memórias: narrativas e deslocamentos de uma mulher em situação de refúgio
Authors: Motta Júlia
Published: November 2021

Por meio de uma etnografia e de uma metodologia desenvolvida para esta pesquisa, busco narrar a trajetória de uma mulher em situação de refúgio e a relação que ela estabelece com a nova cidade de morada. Ruth nasceu em Angola, mas cresceu na República Democrática do Congo (RDC). Tem 35 anos, mora no Rio de Janeiro desde 2014, é mãe de três filhos e trabalha como cantora e atriz. É no convívio com congolesas numa galeria em Madureira e numa igreja evangélica em Brás de Pina, bairro onde mora, que ela se reconecta a suas raízes e se reinventa no novo território. A metodologia proposta, usando fotos, desenhos e objetos, revela as experiências de uma mulher negra refugiada na cidade onde foi viver. Este artigo tem o objetivo, portanto, de refletir sobre o modo como mulheres em condição de refúgio se reinventam a partir do lugar de fronteira e como práticas sociais forjam identidades, territórios, espacialidades.
Oymapınar Baraj Gölü (Antalya)’nün Suyunda, Sedimentinde ve Gölde Yaşayan Sazanın (Cyprinus carpio L.1758) Bazı Dokularındaki Ağır Metal Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi
Authors: Tekin Özan Selda
Published: November 2021

Bu çalışma 2017 yılında Oymapınar Baraj Gölü’nde yürütülmüştür. Çalışma kapsamında göl suyunda, sedimentinde ve gölde yaşayan sazanın (Cyprinus carpio L.,1758) kas, karaciğer ve solungaç dokularındaki bazı ağır metallerin konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Göl suyunda Mo (<0.0008) her mevsim, Cu (<0.0006) ilkbahar ve sonbahar mevsimlerinde analiz limitinin altında kalmıştır. Suda en fazla biriken metal Fe, en az biriken metaller ise Cd ve Cr olmuştur. Mevsimsel olarak yapılan değerlendirmede Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni ve Se’un sonbahar mevsiminde, Cu, Fe ve Zn’nun kış mevsiminde ve Pb’un yaz mevsiminde artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşın Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn ve Zn’nun yaz mevsiminde, Cr, Ni ve Se’un ilkbahar mevsiminde ve Pb’un kış mevsiminde azaldığı saptanmıştır. Göl sedimentinde tüm metaller her mevsimde belirlenmiştir. Sedimentte de en fazla biriken metal Fe, en az biriken metal ise Cd olmuştur. Mevsimsel olarak yapılan değerlendirmede Mo (sonbahar mevsiminde) hariç tüm metallerin miktarlarının yaz mevsiminde arttığı belirlenmiştir. Buna karşın Cu, Mn, Ni, Cr, Fe, ve Zn’ nun ilkbahar mevsiminde, Cd ve Pb’nun sonbahar mevsiminde, Se’un kış mevsiminde ve Mo’in yaz mevsiminde azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Balıklarda analizi yapılan tüm metaller her mevsimde her dokuda belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar genellendiğinde metallerin kasta kış mevsiminde, karaciğerde ilkbaharda ve solungaçta yaz mevsiminde arttığı, kasta ilkbaharda ve solungaçta ise sonbaharda azaldığı saptanmıştır. Karaciğerdeki metal azalışı mevsimsel olarak birbirine benzerlik göstermektedir. Su ve balık dokularında belirlenen değerler, Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı, EPA, WHO, EU, EC, TGK ve FAO’nun verdiği ağır metallerin kabul edilebilir sınırları ve su kalite sınıfı değerleri ile kıyaslanmıştır. Sedimentte belirlenen konsantrasyonlar sediment kalite kriterlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir.
“Preamble” to a Constitution for New Confederation of European nations: text and context
Authors:   Institute for Western Affairs, ENGELS DAVID
Published: November 2021

The idea of protecting the European essence from collapse due to modern challenges (migration, terrorism, tensions between the EU and Asia, threats from the Middle East, discord in relations with Russia) is not new and has been discussed many times by many researchers. The author offers his solution for these and many other challenges. His vision of united Europe is offered in the preamble to the Constitution of a new confederation of European nations. This text is not an official position for political action or propaganda. This message is necessary to broaden the horizons for those Europeans who are accustomed to living for the sake of modern realities, without looking back at the great past of Europe. The author sees the solution to the impending challenges of our time in the history of European states, their economic and social development. The author proposes to Europe - if it wants to survive in the 21st century as a civilization, it needs to return to historical values and traditions that shaped it since the Middle Ages, and moreover, sharply reduce Brussels’ tendency towards centralism. Wherein a close partnership should be maintained between European countries in key policy areas. The proposed preamble appears to be a unifying political program that can act as gathering point for politicians and citizens with different views.
Some problems of applying conciliation procedures in the resolution of corporate disputes complicated by a foreign element
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, CHEKULAEV SERGEY
Published: November 2021

The article describes the perspectives for using mediation to resolve corporate disputes complicated by a foreign element, when it is necessary to resolve possible conflicts by reaching consensus between the parties. When using conciliation procedures, one should consider different states of the relevant national legislation and regional international agreements, and also take into account not only the interests and interpretation of the problem situation from the position of the participant – the party to the dispute, but also the legislative regulation based on the current legal framework. One problematic issue in this area is the existence of several legal approaches. Cooperation is often complicated by the likelihood of a negative outcome. Conflicts of interest can lead to unwanted consequences. One of the most effective ways for settling conflicts is the use of conciliation procedures: negotiations, mediation, mediation and judicial conciliation, as well as other procedures that do not contradict the current legislation. In general, mediation is seen as a flexible process that supports the autonomy of the parties, legal and non- legal approaches to problem solving and creative individual solutions. In addition, the issue of choosing conciliation procedure for resolving a dispute can be resolved by participants in corporate relations even before the conflict arises by fixing a mediation clause in the local documents of the organization.
Adaptation of civil service personnel: organizational and legal analysis
Authors:   South Russian Institute of Management – Branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, TRUKHANOVICH DARIA
Published: November 2021

In this article, the author carries out the organizational and legal analysis of the adaptation of personnel in the state civil service. The results of the study suggest that the existing legislation does not contain provisions directly regulating the process of adaptation for civil servants. The article presents a comparative analysis of the personnel adaptations and probation period, identifies the main differences of these technologies. The organizational analysis of civil service personnel adaptation is carried out on the experience of using this personnel technology in the Ministry of Culture of Zabaikalsky Krai, the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of Omsk region, Executive authorities of Penza and Yaroslavl regions, Khabarovsk Krai and St. Petersburg, in the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The analysis of adaptation practices implemented in the different bodies of public authorities of the Russian Federation allows to conclude that, currently, there is no single approach to civil service personnel adaptation. There are often formal practices that fail to achieve their goals. Government bodies today increasingly pay attention to the need to regulate the adaptation process of employees, however, they implement their programs with varying degrees of success. Not all government bodies effectively use the adaptation mechanisms for civil servants, which means that measures must be taken to correct the situation. The author sees the solution of the problems in changing the legal and organizational basis for the personnel adaptation in the civil service.
