PENGARUH PENETAPAN HARGA BERAS BULOG BANDA ACEH TERHADAP MEKANISME PASAR BERAS DALAM KONSEP TAS’IR AL-JABARI
Authors: Alif Muhammad , Iqbal Muhammad
Published: August 2024

Price, as a determinant of the value of a good or service, reflects the interaction between supply and demand. Changes in commodity prices significantly impact business actors, making market equilibrium crucial to maintain. The level of competition in the market also affects market conditions. From a fiqhiyah perspective, the government can restructure the market through tas’ir al-jabari, which involves price setting based on various market studies and evaluations. This study aims to assess the appropriateness of the theory and concept of tas’ir al-jabari in the price setting of rice by Bulog in Banda Aceh. This research employs a juridical-sociological approach with descriptive-analytical research methods to clarify the research object, focusing on the impact of Bulog Banda Aceh's rice price setting on market mechanisms to establish standard prices in the Banda Aceh market. The data used in this study consist of primary and secondary data, collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that price setting (tas’ir) in trade and business is permissible if there is a possibility of manipulation leading to price increases. Price setting methods are not prohibited in Islam under the following conditions: the prices set by entrepreneurs or traders should not exploit buyers, meaning they should not take profits above reasonable levels. Price setting should not be coercive towards entrepreneurs or traders as long as they set fair prices and take reasonable profits (not above normal levels). If market equilibrium is disrupted, the government or relevant authorities must intervene in the market while upholding principles of justice for both traders and consumers.

Published: August 2024

The presence of microplastics in aquatic sediments is a threat to biota that live in waters, especially fishes. This study aims to determine the presence of microplastics in sediments and Kuwe fish (Caranx sp) in the coastal waters of Gampong Jawa Banda Aceh. This research processes begins with sampling, sample preparation, identification of microplastics, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) testing to determine the type of polymer as the origin of the microplastics in the fish samples. Several types of microplastics that have been identified are fragments, fibers and films. The colors of the microplastics found were brown, transparent, black, blue and red. The abundance of microplastics found in sediment was 1630 particles/kg, while the abundance of microplastics found in fish, namely in the organs of the digestive tract and in the fish's body with an abundance of 975 particles/kg and 135 particles/kg respectively. The results of FT-IR analysis have verified several types of polymers such as Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Poly (methyl methacrylate), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Nylon, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), with appropriate functional groups. The discovery of microplastics in the coastal waters of Gampong Jawa Banda Aceh indicates microplastic contamination. Therefore, preventive efforts are needed to reduce the abundance of microplastics in these waters.

Experimental study on the shear characteristics of frozen soil-concrete interface under the constant normal stiffness
Authors: Yuan Shibin , Cong Jiaming , Fang Xuguang , Wu Yue , Yu Huaichen
Published: August 2024

The interaction between the structure and soil is the key factor for
infrastructure stabilization in permafrost engineering. In this study,
the shear mechanical behavior of the interface between concrete and
permafrost under different normal stiffness, temperature and water
content is investigated by using the interface direct shear test under
temperature-controlled conditions. The results show that with the
increase of temperature and water content, the initial shear stiffness
of the interface shear stress-shear displacement curve gradually
increases, and the interface shear strength gradually increases.
Different normal stiffnesses have a small effect on the morphology of
the interfacial shear stress-shear displacement curve, but have a
significant effect on the peak shear strength. The peak shear strength
increases significantly with the increase of normal stiffness, and this
trend is more obvious with the decrease of temperature. The
corresponding interfacial cohesion and friction angle also increase with
the increase of normal stiffness.

Prevalence and Phylotyping of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli from Companion Animals attending Veterinary Practices in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Ntuli Nondumiso L. , Abia Akebe Luther King , Mbanga Joshua , Mangera S. , Essack Sabiha
Published: August 2024

Companion animals are globally documented to harbour
antibiotic-resistant E. coli. We investigated the prevalence and
phylotyping of antibiotic-resistant E. coli from companion
animals (dogs and cats) at selected veterinary practices in Durban,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. E. coli was isolated from rectal
swab samples on Eosin methylene blue agar and confirmed using real-time
PCR. Antibiotic susceptibility testing against 20 antibiotics was done
using the Kirby-Bauer method. Selected antibiotic-resistance genes
(ARGs), conferring third-generation cephalosporins ( bla
TEM, bla SHV, and bla
CTX-M), tetracycline ( tetA, and tetB),
and tigecycline ( tetX/X2, tetX3, and tetX4)
resistance, were detected using PCR and amplicon sequencing.
Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain
Reaction was used to determine the clonality of antibiotic-resistant
E. coli. Three hundred and thirty E. coli (234 dog and 96
cat) isolates were obtained. Isolates were most resistant to
tetracycline (dogs - 25.2%; cats - 22.4%) and least to amikacin and
piperacillin-tazobactam (Dogs - 0.4%) and piperacillin-tazobactam and
ceftazidime (cats - 1.0%). Thirty-five (10.6%) isolates were
multidrug-resistant, displaying twenty-two different phenotypic
patterns. The bla CTX-M-15 (8%) and tetA
(24%) were the most prevalent resistance genes; bla
SHV, tetX/X2, tetX3, and tetX4 were
undetected. Clonality revealed 48 clusters using a 75% similarity
cut-off, suggesting highly diverse E. coli circulating in Durban,
South Africa, potentially no evidence of antibiotic-resistant E.
coli transmission among these animals in Durban. Resistance of E.
coli from companion animals to medically important antimicrobials for
humans is of particular concern, requiring measures to control the
spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs between companion
animals, veterinary practice personnel, and owners.

Published: August 2024

Architectural styles and building typologies are influenced by the culture (lifestyle, beliefs) of the people for which the buildings are designed. The use of massive stone blocks for the Pyramids of Gaza, classical orders in in the design of theaters for Greek Architecture, arches and domes in the construction of Roman Colosseums, semi-circular arches in the Abbeys during the Romanesque architecture era, pointed arches and flying buttresses in the Gothic architecture era, symmetry and proportion for Renaissance architecture, gilded details for Baroque Architecture, simplicity for Neoclassical architecture, geometric shapes for Art Deco styles, minimalism for Bauhaus Architecture, ornamentation for the International Style, playfulness for Postmodern architecture, non-linear forms for Deconstructivism, and computational design for Parametric architectural style serve as international testament to this hypothesis. The Architecture of the Nigerian people as with the global community, was also influenced by the prevalent culture of its diverse populace scattered through the four geopolitical zones in the country giving birth to the Purdah and the turaka in Northern Nigeria, the Obi in Eastern Nigeria, the akwaesa in Southern Nigeria, and the courtyards in Western Nigeria. This paper explores the efficiency of courtyards, providing context to the relevance of Yoruba/African traditional courtyard compounds to Sustainable Housing, listing its social, environmental, and architectural benefits.

Published: August 2024

El artículo reflexiona respecto a ciertos núcleos historiográficos que convergen en lo que, hoy en día, se define como problemáticas socioambientales. A partir de una breve reseña de la Historia Ambiental como campo historiográfico, se recuperan estudios provenientes de diversas tradiciones historiográficas que convergen en problemáticas socioambientales bajo la hipótesis de que algunas contribuciones, aun sin tenerlo como objetivo, ofrecen interpretaciones sobre la relación histórica entre seres vivientes y el medio. En este punto, se ensaya un balance historiográfico a partir de las Jornadas Interescuelas/Departamentos de Historia como laboratorio de análisis. El trabajo sugiere cierto retraso de la Historia, respecto a otras disciplinas, en tanto clave interpretativa para abordar las problemáticas socioambientales, y la posibilidad de elaborar preguntas que resitúen a la disciplina para dialogar sobre el tema en el campo académico y social.

Hablar de litoralización es referirse a los persistentes y generalizados procesos de aglomeraciones y concentraciones integrales que se evidencian en las costas en el contexto de la remodelación de espacios debido a las actividades económicas, en particular, en la derivación generada por el extractivismo. No obstante, el concepto consigna a problematizar un espacio que normalmente era invisible, no considerado o desdeñado, pero que, al activarse dichas aglomeraciones, adquieren notoriedad gracias al nuevo orden, rejerarquización territorial e influencia que ejercen.
PECULIARITIES OF CHILDREN’S WITH SPECIAL LIGHTING NEEDS SPEAKING DEVELOPMENT AT WAR TIME
Authors: Chernichenko Lіudmуla
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of the influence of military actions in Ukraine on the speech development of preschool children. In the countries where military operations are conducted, there are a large number of children with disorders of speech development who need special conditions of education and upbringing. Today, the issue of providing special assistance to such children is very relevant. The analysis of the practice of special education shows that insufficient attention is paid to the implementation of the use of correctional and developmental methods, therefore the need to study the theoretical and experimental features of innovative correctional and developmental methods, the psychological and pedagogical significance of the given problem determined the choice of the research topic. The problems of identifying the potential opportunities of such children, adapting them to life acquire great social significance. The article highlights the problem that at the time of active military operations in Ukraine, practicing teachers feel a lack of potential opportunities to overcome educational losses among children. In this regard, it is necessary to develop and use innovative methods and comprehensive works covering all spheres of the child's personality. In special pedagogy, there is an active search for the safest and most optimal conditions for the organization of an educational and corrective and developmental environment for all children. The article also highlights the priority areas of correctional work with children with speech disorders, which is a prerequisite for effective speech therapy work under martial law.
CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE COMMERCIAL SPHERE BY THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FRAME TRADE
Authors: Hudzovata Sabina
Published: August 2024

The article examines the features of the component structure and internal relationships in the English-language framework TRADE. According to M. Minsky, we understand the frame as a structure that represents stereotyped knowledge and expectations that allow the system to ensure internal consistency. In linguistics, this manifests itself in the fact that the meaning of a single word requires access to all the basic knowledge associated with that word. For example, understanding the word sell requires knowledge of the commercial transfer situation, which includes the seller, buyer, goods, money, and their relationships. In this sense, it is the perspective that is important: from the buyer’s point of view, the trading process is a purchase, while from the seller’s point of view, it is a sale. The article analyzes the possibilities of applying different perspectives to reveal the internal structure of the TRADE frame and the relational arcs between its components. The formation of the frame occurs due to the combination of propositions that determine the relationship between its components. A proposition as a basic structure of knowledge representation has a logical subject (the target concept) and a logical predicate (a feature attributed to the subject). The construction of propositions within the frame is carried out through the functioning of the basic propositional frames, which enable the coherence of its cognitive content.
VARIABLE TOOLS OF LEARNING IN EXPERIENCE REGIONAL TEXTBOOK PRODUCTION
Authors: Pushkarova Tamara , Hrytsenko Oleksandr , Koval-Mazyuta Mariya
Published: August 2024

In the work presented for discussion by pedagogical specialists, it was found that in the conditions of the decentralization of the education system in Ukraine and the transfer of a complex of organizational and management functions in the field of educational institutions to local self-government, territorial communities have acquired problems not only in the part of forming the material and technical base of institutions and institutions educational sector, but also in meeting the wishes of local residents to receive high-quality and affordable educational services, which provides for the design, examination, and replication of innovative and progressive teaching tools that would be based on standardized norms of textbook creation and at the same time take into account the existing specificity of the functioning of regional educational institutions with their educational methods, cultural values and local traditions. The above judgments are meaningfully confirmed in the "New Ukrainian School" concept, which presents the following didactic remarks: 1) the free development of students is facilitated by a creative environment in which there is a change in programs or teaching aids, as well as other elements of the subject environment; 2) one-time educational projects over time give priority to the systematic organization of the implementation of innovative pedagogical technologies; 3) traditional means of education should be replaced by a variable school book of a new generation of educational literature. Variability in this context is correctly understood as a characteristic of a set of teaching aids from a certain subject area for a certain age status of students who perform the same educational task, but may differ from each other in certain information or materials that relate to the specific features of one or another region in the content taking into account its socio-cultural customs or traditions.
PRAGMATIC FUNCTIONS OF FAN FICTION
Authors: Stanko Daryna
Published: August 2024

The present paper deals with investigating pragmatic functions of fan fiction. We define fan fiction as a corpus of texts (fanfics) written by non-professional authors based on a certain work of culture (book, film, TV series, etc.). Being on the Internet creates a number of features in fan fiction texts: conditional anonymity (nicknames), interactivity, hyper-authorship, verbal and visual interconnection, etc. Fan fiction is a multifaceted activity that fosters creativity, community, skill development, representation, and critical engagement. The conducted analysis showed that the megatextual structural elements of fan fiction can be conditionally divided into: technical, related to the volume of the text, visit statistics, the date of the last update, the degree of completion of the fan fiction; and meaningful, in which the rating, pairing, genre, some information about the chronotope and the plot are displayed in the descriptions; author's notes, from which the main themes and motives of the future fan fiction become clear. These megatextual elements give the reader a preliminary idea of the content of the text, so their correct design plays a big role in communities. On the one hand, the megatext contributes to the self-identification of the members of the fan fiction culture, and indicates belonging to this group. On the other hand, skillful, competent design speaks of a certain level of the writer and attracts more readers to his text.
CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS IN LITERARY TRANSLATION
Authors: Taranenko Olga
Published: August 2024

In the given article the literary translation of poem “Magic” is presented. There are several peculiarities concerning poetic translation in particular that require special linguistic tools for achieving correct and rhyming translation from English into Ukrainian. Conceptual analysis as an effective lingua-cultural tool was applied. The initial material (verse itself) is highly personal, individually created issue that requires delicate approach while translating and decoding author’s ideas. This is problematic to make an appropriate translation without emerging into inner structure of verse’s main concepts. Cross-cultural component should be taken into consideration as well. In the presented analysis was taken into consideration cultural difference of the concept magic in English and Ukrainian worldview. For achieving strong success, the explanatory definitions method was added in terms to apply not only denotative, but also connotative meaning of magic. Using the combination of the above approaches has given positive and promising result, because poetic translation is one of the most difficult domains for practical result (verses translation).
NEO-ORWELLISM AS A THREAT TO GLOBAL DEMOCRACY
Authors: Bratasyuk Maria
Published: August 2024

The article highlights the problem of “neo-Orwellism” as a new form of dictatorship of state power over man. It is emphasized that neo-Orwellism is a system of methods, ways, means, etc., which are used by modern totalitarian power to subjugate a person and dominate him. Especially dangerous for the democratic world is Putinism, which has carried out largescale aggression against sovereign Ukraine, which has chosen a democratic path of development, and which now threatens aggression against the Baltic states, other sovereign EU states, Moldova, Georgia, etc. It is argued that Putinism, as a regime repressive against a person and a people, has its origins in the historical past of Russia, the imperial essence of which has been preserved to this day. It is emphasized that Putinists violate all international norms and principles, use especially cruel methods and ways to subjugate people: from fear and mass murder to nuclear blackmail. The Moscow Nazis are especially successful in using information bombing, myth-making, ignorance as a tool of subjugation, double thinking, language, etc. It is found that neo-Orwellism in the form of Putinism has spread very intensively in European countries and the United States. In these countries, a significant part of the population lives with private interest, indifferent to the fate of democracy and its values, partly unable to deeply understand modern international and domestic problems, therefore they are a good basis for the spread of neo-Orwellism.
COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE BY THE DEFENSE IN UKRAINIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: AN ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE EQUALITY OF ARMS
Authors: Kovalenko Artem
Published: August 2024

The article examines the procedural opportunities available to the defense party for evidence collection in Ukraine's criminal process. It is emphasized that despite the declared equality of rights of the parties to collect and submit items, documents, and evidence to the court under Article 22 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, during pre-trial investigation, the prosecution party has a number of advantages over the defense party in terms of available means of evidence. The procedural opportunities available to the defense party for evidence collection have been analyzed, comparing them with the actual evidentiary capabilities of the prosecution party. The author underscores that the current Ukrainian criminal procedural legislation contains precedents granting the defense party certain powers traditionally associated with the activities of the prosecution party. It is proposed to grant the defense party, the victim, and the representative of a legal entity, subject to criminal proceedings, the right to perform certain procedural actions during the pre-trial investigation stage, which currently can only be carried out by the prosecution party. According to the author, expanding the evidentiary powers of the listed subjects is possible provided that some principles are adhered to, including verifiability of procedural actions' results, creating no obstacles for the prosecution party, the usefulness of such expansion, and coercion is avoided. The mentioned participants in the criminal proceedings may be granted the opportunity to conduct inspections of computer data, interrogate witnesses and suspects, undergo voluntary inspections of a person (including medical ones), extract data from technical devices and technical means, and so forth.

Comparative Investigation of In Vitro Genotoxicity of ProMutagens Using Human-Derived Hepatoma HepG2 Cells with Human and Rat Liver S9
Authors: S Kawaguchi , S Okutani , A Yamamoto , T Nakamura , F* Sasaki Yu
Published: August 2024

The genotoxicity of pro-mutagens has been traditionally detected by test procedures with metabolically incompetent cells requiring addition of exogenous activation mixtures, such as rat liver S9. HepG2 cells established from huma hepatoma in 1979 have metabolic activation ability. For this characteristic, HepG2 cells were tried to be used in the genotoxicity test. Since metabolic activation ability in HepG2 cells is not the same as that in exogenous activation mixtures, it is necessary to ascertain whether HepG2 cells could be used to detect the genotoxicity of various kinds of pro-mutagens and to compare the detecting ability between HepG2 cells and metabolically incompetent cells under exogenous activation mixtures. The ability of HepG2 cells to detect the genotoxicity of 38 pro-mutagens was studied to compare that of metabolically incompetent human lymphoblastoid WTK1 cells under human and rat S9’s. Present results showed that the ability of HepG2 cells to detect the genotoxicity of pro-mutagens parallels qualitatively to that of WTK1 cells under human liver S9 and cytochrome (CYP) induced rat liver S9 even if the existence of species difference in CYP isoforms. Therefore, HepG2 cells could be usefully used to detect the gentoxicity of pro-mutagens for the purpose of the evaluation of the genotoxic risk for humans.

Authors: J* Ajeet
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the dietary habits and nutritional status of 920 carpet weavers in District Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Data was collected through self-reported questionnaires to assess dietary practices and anthropometric measurements for Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation. The results reveal a concerning trend. While a significant portion (82.4%) reported consuming a vegetarian diet, their overall dietary intake fell short of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most nutrients. Additionally, a high prevalence of underweight individuals (28.7%) was identified based on BMI classification. These findings suggest potential nutritional deficiencies among carpet weavers, highlighting the need for interventions to promote healthy dietary practices and improve nutritional status within this population.
The Intersectional Perspective on Kinship and Mothering: Implications for Marginalized Groups
Authors: LV* Galvez
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the intersectional perspective on kinship and mothering, emphasizing how multiple forms of social stratification—such as race, gender, legal status, and socioeconomic class—interact to shape the lived experiences of marginalized groups, particularly racialized migrant women, unaccompanied refugee mothers, and racialized mothers. Utilizing an intersectional lens, the paper examines the complex dynamics of transnational parenting, the impact of legal precarity on mothering practices, and the challenges faced by mothers in accessing resources and support systems. The analysis highlights the critical role of social anthropologists in addressing these complexities and advocating for more inclusive policies that recognize and support diverse family structures and caregiving roles. By incorporating insights from numerous studies, the paper underscores the need for an inclusive approach that acknowledges the multifaceted nature of kinship and mothering in contemporary society. This intersectional framework is essential for developing effective policies and practices that support the well-being of marginalized mothers and their families, contributing to a more equitable and supportive societal environment.
Breakfast, a must for Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: M* De Lanerolle Dias
Published: August 2024

Several metabolic processes take place following a meal. These processes are enhanced during the early hours of the day, resulting in a better glycemic response to meals during the morning hours. The balance between internal clocks and meals is crucial for optimal health. Disruption of the circadian clock, such as skipping breakfast, can lead to abnormal metabolic responses, weight gain, elevated HbA1c levels, an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular complications. Consuming a high-energy breakfast in the morning can have positive effects on weight loss, appetite reduction, and postprandial hyperglycemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This effect occurs independently of total energy intake throughout the day. A long-term study on patients with Type 2 diabetes Mellitus found that a whey protein breakfast led to a greater reduction of HbA1C and body weight. Disturbance in the circadian rhythm can result in ineffective metabolic functions and postprandial hyperglycemia. Adults, particularly those with T2D, should consume a protein-rich high-energy breakfast and avoid skipping meals and high-energy dinners to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Intelligenza Artificiale e intersoggettività
Authors: Grignaffini Giorgio
Published: August 2024

L’articolo analizza il tema dell’Intelligenza Artificiale e dei suoi rapporti con l’uomo partendo dal principio che sta alla base della semiotica strutturale, cioè la priorità della relazione rispetto ai termini che la compongono. Viene così messo al centro dell’indagine il tema dei rapporti intersoggettivi che si vengono a costruire tra uomo e macchine dotate di dispositivi di Intelligenza Artificiale. Queste ultime, rispetto alle macchine tradizionali, si caratterizzano per andare oltre il puro svolgimento dei compiti per i quali sono state programmate : esse sembrano retroagire rispetto al soggetto umano mettendo in mostra una modalizzazione che va oltre il sapere e il poter fare, coinvolgendo anche il dovere e il volere, modalità finora tipicamente umane. In questo modo è possibile applicare alla relazione uomo / macchina anche il modello interazionale di Landowski.

Authors: Akpofure Edirin , Nabie Leelabari John
Published: August 2024

The mineralogical and geotechnical properties of fine grained deposits from Swali community, in Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the qualitative analysis of the mineral composition and the Atterberg limit using ASTM D 4318 standard for the geotechnical properties. Four representative samples that were analyzed using XRD show the deposit is composed of quartz, albite, orthoclase and muscovite with average values of 59.25%, 16.45%, 13.25% and 11% respectively. No typical clay mineral was observed in the analysis. The mineral suite indicates an acid igneous rock source and long distance and time of travel. Ten samples were analyzed for the geotechnical properties, and the Atterberg limits derived are: Liquid limit ranging from 29.7% – 50.4%, Plastic limit ranging from 22.9% – 36.1% and the Plastic Index ranging from 11.4 – 26.1. Four of the samples were non plastic and only six show a measure of plasticity. The deposits are classified as inorganic lean clay in locations SW6 and SW10 designated as CL as they fall above the A – Line and have Plasticity Index > 7, and those from SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW8 are classified as silty clay with designation ML because they fall below the A – Line on the plot of Liquid limit versus Plastic Index but have Plasticity Index > 4.  All the deposits have low plasticity because they fall below the Liquid limit separator line of 50% with only one on the borderline. Therefore, the deposit range from inorganic lean clay to silty clay with low plasticity derived from an acid igneous rock with long distance and time of travel.

This study aims to display the development of the meaning of parrhesia Παρρησία which heavily influenced evangelization. Parrhesia is one of the most essential concepts in ancient Greek which added richness to the LXX and the New Testament. Parrhesia means eloquence, frankness, articulation and freedom of speech. In daily life, parrhesia is related to the expression of somebody’s mind (action de tout declarer, tout exprimer). Greek culture also denotes parrhesia as the political right to express somebody’s mind. The concept of parrhesia also contains the aspect of freedom in using the language. Indeed, the Hellenic root of parrhesia sets the course of the meaning of the word in the Scripture. This paper is divided into three parts to have a solid grasp of the meaning of parrhesia and its influence on evangelisation. The first elaborates on the development of the meaning of parrhesia using Foucauldian discourse analysis. The second explains how the word is used in Scriptural text (LXX and the New Testament). Finally, the scriptural meaning of parrhesia is perceived in the context of evangelization and the Church’s prophetic voices throughout history

Authors: Zaitsev Nikolay O. ,   Kuban State University
Published: August 2024

The article examines the issue of contradictory approaches and the dualistic attitude towards the cryptocurrency payment facilities turnover in the Russian Federation and their impact on criminal procedural legislation. It is emphasized that despite the lack of a clear definition of cryptocurrency in legislation and its prohibition as a means of payment, the use of cryptocurrency in Russia is becoming increasingly widespread. The main thesis of the article is the necessity of adopting comprehensive measures to regulate cryptocurrency, including amendments to civil, administrative, criminal, and criminal procedural legislation. The author expresses fears about the negative impact of the use of cryptocurrency in illegal financial transactions, suggests overcoming the dualism in the legal regulation of cryptocurrency in Russia and calls for ensuring the legality in the criminal sphere, given the increasing use of cryptocurrency in economic relations. Thus, the article highlights the need for measures to eliminate the formal denial of the issue in the face of the rapidly growing cryptocurrency payment facilities turnover and to improve legislation in the area of cryptocurrency payments and their use in criminal proceedings.

Authors: Gosudarev Taras L. ,   Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Salnikova Elizaveta Yu. ,   Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia
Published: August 2024

The article delves into the emergence of conditions conducive to disinformation and misconceptions within legal frameworks, emphasizing their implications for societal stability and justice. The increasing complexity and volume of legal norms often necessitate specialized knowledge for comprehension, thereby heightening the risk of misinterpretation across various sectors of society, including law enforcement and legislative bodies. The social ramifications of legal misconceptions are profound, extending beyond potential miscarriages of justice to encompass broader implications for social and political stability. Of particular concern is the deliberate exploitation of legal ambiguities and misunderstandings to manipulate the socio-political landscape, exacerbating societal divisions and undermining legal integrity. Through a comprehensive analysis, the authors advocate for a multifaceted approach to mitigate this issue. This approach aims to eliminate the potential for dual interpretations of legal norms and phenomena, while concurrently enhancing legal awareness and literacy among the populace. By fostering a more informed and discerning public, the legal system can better withstand attempts at manipulation and uphold its foundational principles of fairness and equity.
