Authors: Bilyk P. P. , Osadcha I. A.
Published: October 2021

SummaryIn the process of implementing the functions and objectives of the state to ensure therealization of human rights and freedoms Officials of the public administration authoritiesbased on the concept of building competent administrative legislation оften face the needto make management decisions, based on their administrative discretion. Effectiveness andfeasibility of adopted and implemented in such conditions managerial decisions directlydepends on the professional level of the public administrator. The level of professionalismdepends not only on the level of knowledge and skills of the public administrator, but alsodepends a considerable extent from its desire and desire to properly blame its professionalvocation. Legal deontology contributes to the regulatory definition of the optimal crime ofmoral and ethical requirements compliance with which testifies to the readiness of the publicadministration authorities system to implement the functions and objectives of the state asappropriate. The article analyzes the concept of public administration and is concluded aboutits identity of the Public Administration category. Both administrative and legal categoriesare manifested as the process of developing, making and implement management decisions.Administrative legislation is constructed in such a way that its procedural part based onopportunities based on and within the Constitution and Laws of Ukraine, it is based on publicadministration based on administrative discretion. In public administration, the result of theimplementation of the administrative discretion is the formation of an appropriate managementstyle, as the result of the use and variation association of permissible forms and managementmethods. The public administrator is a representative of the state in a relationship with aperson. The level of rights and freedoms proclaimed by law depends on his managementdecisions. Given the need to appeal when making decisions to administrative discretion, thedeontological component of the professional characteristics of the public administrator seemsto be significant.
CONTENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND PROTECTION OF A CHILD’S RIGHT TO A NAME (ACCORDING TO LEGISLATION OF UKRAINE AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Authors: Huseynova K. M.
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this article is to determine the characteristics of the content, implementation and protection of a child’s right to a name in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The author analyzed the relevant provisions of the current civil and family legislation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, established the points of view of legal scholars on the issues that make up the subject of the study, made proposals to improve the legal regulation of public relations related to the implementation and protection of a child’s right to a name in Ukraine. The conclusion is justified that the child’s right to a name is an independent subjective personal non-property right, the content of which includes the right to receive a name, change (replace) the name, use and protection of the name. According to the legislation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the realization of these rights is possible by the holder of this right himself – the child only in cases expressly provided for by the current legislation. In other cases, these powers shall be exercised by the parents of the child (other legal representatives or authorized bodies) in the interests of the last. Attention is drawn to the fact that the law gives the child the right to submit an application to change (replace) the name only from a certain age (16 years in Ukraine, 14 years in the Russian Federation). It is proposed that the Ukrainian legislator change this approach to “linking” to the volume of civil legal capacity of minors, when with reaching the age of 14, the child is granted the right to perform legally significant actions with the consent of legal representatives.

Published: October 2021

The purpose of the article is to explore the issues of electronic means of proof in the civil process of Ukraine and foreign countries, the problems of application, as well as to identify possible ways to improve them. Relevance of research is due to that the issue of electronic evidence is gaining new importance at the present stage during the rapid development and improvement of electronic means of communication and media which causes the emergence of new theoretical and practical problems in their application. In this regard, a comparative analysis of the legislative consolidation and practice of application of this topic in civil proceedings of foreign countries and Ukraine will provide an opportunity to identify further ways to modernize electronic evidence in general. Also, the problematic issues concerning their application during the trial have not been fully resolved and the peculiarities of other countries have not been singled out. Therefore, effective use of the achievements of scientific and technological progress has become an important issue in the judiciary due to the continuous computerization and informatization. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of relevant conclusions and proposals. The following general scientific methods of cognition were used during the research: dialectical, terminological, logical-semantic, system-structural, logical-normative, comparative. The issues of legislative regulation of electronic evidence in Ukraine and other countries, their key differences, as well as the author’s ways to improve electronic evidence by borrowing best practices from other countries, including the United States. Problematic aspects of legislative consolidation of electronic evidence have been identified, the possibility of introducing forensic methods into the civil process to establish the authenticity of the provided electronic evidence and application of the blockchain system in order to prevent their destruction has been assessed. The current legal positions from judicial practice were given and analyzed on the issues under consideration. The results of the study can be used in lawmaking and law enforcement activities for the use of electronic evidence in civil proceedings.
CONCEPTUAL BASIS FOR CLASSIFYING STATE CRIMES DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Authors: Chuvakov O. A.
Published: October 2021

The article explores problematic issues of defining crimes against state security during the Great Patriotic War. It is emphasized that, from the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the government of the USSR in a certain way formulates the main, conceptual doctrine in the field of management and combating state crime, in connection with which a number of provisions of the criminal legislation were radically transformed, where the main changes were mostly concentrated to increase the role of the repressive component of criminal punishment, and this circumstance was even more pronounced in areas of active hostilities. It is stated that the legislation of the reviewed period was characterized by signs of emergency legislation – wartime legislation, in connection with which many regulatory prescriptions were of a temporary nature – they were valid only for the period of the war. It is argued that in the studied period, the practice of criminalizing administrative offenses and disciplinary offenses is widely used, which established new formats for assessing socially dangerous acts against the security of the state. The provisions considered in the article make it possible to establish how, during the specified period, counteraction to socially dangerous acts was carried out, many of which were equated with state crimes by the legislator of that period. After all, it should be recognized, and this seems more than obvious, that the legislator of that period qualified most of the previously considered acts in wartime as treason to the Motherland – a grave crime against the state.

Authors: Isinika Aida , Jeckoniah John , Mdoe Ntengua , Mwajombe Kizito
Published: October 2021

Sunflower commercialisation in Singida Region, Tanzania has been successful. The successes include increased oilseed production, expanding processing capacity and declining rural poverty. Policies and efforts by development agents to promote sunflower commercialisation have increased the number of actors and service providers. Accumulation from sunflower and other enterprises, including livestock, have not only improved livelihoods, but also contributed to household economic diversity. This paper examines the interactions between activities involved in sunflower production and other livelihood strategies. For example, the paper examines local dynamics in policy and business contexts that have shaped livelihood options available and people’s choices of which option they undertake, and the corresponding outcomes, and reasons for such commercialisation trajectories. The study aims to inform local, regional, and national strategies, to pursue more inclusive and sustainable agriculture development, and widen options and pathways for men and women in Mkalama and Iramba districts of Singida Region.
Politics, Power and Social Differentiation in African Agricultural Value Chains: The Effects of COVID-19
Authors: Bellwood-Howard Imogen , Dancer Helen
Published: October 2021

Since the structural adjustment policies of the 1980s, policymaking at a national and continental level has increasingly turned to agricultural commercialisation as the foundation for Africa’s long-term nutrition and food security. However, socio-economic inequalities, land tenure and food insecurity, as well as livelihood and income precarities remain widespread challenges. The effects of shocks, such as COVID-19, have overlaid emergent and entrenched patterns of social differentiation that shape access to resources, markets, and other opportunities for those involved in commercial agriculture. This paper considered the impacts of COVID-19 on value chains in Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, to ask: 1) What can political settlements analyses tell us about agricultural value chains and responses to COVID-19 in the countries studied? 2) How are structures and power relations throughout the value chains and actors’ responses to COVID-19 related to social differentiation in the context of African agriculture?
Lessons learnt from humanitarian negotiations with the Taliban, 1996-2001
Authors: Kelly Luke
Published: October 2021

This rapid literature review finds that humanitarian actors responded in a variety of ways to Taliban actions limiting principled aid in the country during the period of their rule (1996-2001). The report is focused on the findings around humanitarian negotiation and the strategy of humanitarian actors in response to Taliban policies limiting women's ability to work for humanitarian organisations or access services. The findings are not intended to imply parallels with the current situation in Afghanistan. Evidence is in the form of a number of evaluations, academic articles and lessons learned papers on negotiating with the Taliban. It discusses the methods of negotiating with the Taliban (e.g. co-ordination, working with the leadership or rank-and-file), the content of negotiations and particularly the question of reaching agreement on women’s rights, as well as humanitarian actors’ negotiating capacity. There is less discussion on the negotiation of specific programmes (e.g. anti-gender-based violence programmes). Due to the different goals and principles of humanitarian actors, as well as different ideas of feasibility, conclusions on the effectiveness of negotiating tactics vary. Strategies therefore cannot be judged as 'successful' without reference to a conception of what is most important in humanitarian programming, and the constraints of the situation. The review highlights lessons on good negotiating practices. The main issue being negotiated was the clash between the Taliban's restrictions on women and humanitarian actors' aim of providing aid to all, including women, according to need. Various strategies were used to persuade the Taliban to consent to principled aid. This review considers aid agency negotiating strategy and tactics, as well as the underlying interests and constraints that may make negotiations more or less successful.

This case study was developed to inform subsequent research and analysis of local government leadership and prioritisation of sanitation and hygiene (S&H) in East Africa. Consolidated learning from across the three countries involved can be found in the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) Learning Brief: Strengthening sub-national systems for area-wide sanitation and hygiene. From late 2020 to early 2021, the SLH collaborated with local government actors and development partners from three sub-national areas to explore ways of increasing local government leadership and prioritisation of S&H to drive progress towards area-wide S&H. For some time, local government leadership has been recognised as key to ensuring sustainability and scale, it is an important component of the emerging use of systems strengthening approaches in the sanitation sector. It is hoped that this work will provide practical experiences to contribute to this thinking. Three case studies were developed to capture local government and development partners’ experiences supporting sub-national governments increase their leadership and prioritisation of S&H in Siaya County (Kenya), Nyamagabe District (Rwanda), and Moyo District (Uganda), all of which have seen progress in recent years. The development partners involved were UNICEF in Kenya, WaterAid in Rwanda, and WSSCC/ Uganda Sanitation Fund in Uganda. The cases were then analysed through three online workshops facilitated with staff from the local governments, central government ministries and development partners involved to explore them in further detail, review experiences and identify levers and blockages to change. Lessons from the workshops are documented in the SLH learning brief mentioned above. This is the case study developed by Nyamagabe District and WaterAid documenting their experiences and reflections from working together to increase prioritisation of S&H in Nyamagabe District, Rwanda.

Contribution à l'étude des paramètres dendrométriques et à la cartographie des peuplements relictuels d’une espèce septentrionale rare au Maroc : Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.
Authors: ENNOUNI Hassan , SAHLI Abdelouahab , ATER Mohammed
Published: October 2021

Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. (Betulaceae) est une espèce clé dans certaines formations alluviales et riveraines du continent européen. Au Maroc, elle se trouve en limite méridionale de son aire de distribution où elle est représentée par des formations relictes dans les zones refuges où elle a migré pendant les phases glaciaires du Pléistocène. Malgré sa grande valeur patrimoniale, il y a très peu de données sur son aire de répartition et l’état des peuplements. Ce travail a permis de localiser et cartographier les principaux peuplements dans la zone d’occurrence de cette espèce dans le Rif au nord du Maroc. La typologie des peuplements a été réalisée dans douze sites de référence en déterminant leurs principales caractéristiques telles que la nature du régime forestier, la composition, la taille, le recouvrement et la densité. Les caractéristiques dendrométriques ont permis de renseigner la structure et la dynamique des peuplements. Les résultats obtenus constituent un apport important de données quantitatives géoréférencées sur la répartition actuelle et la dynamique des peuplements d’A. glutinosa au Maroc. Étant donné l’état de conservation des peuplements, la dégradation de l’habitat et la faible régénération, cette espèce peut être considérée comme menacée et doit bénéficier de mesures urgentes de protection.

Because of the quality of their wood and their many traditional uses, species of the Entandrophragma genus are being intensively logged, and this is likely to compromise their survival unless sustainable management is introduced. This study reviews the current status of the five main commercial Entandrophragma species: Entandrophragma angolense, E. congolense (often confused with E. angolense), E. candollei, E. cylindricum and E. utile. We suggest directions for research to improve sustainable management strategies for this genus. The study draws mainly on published scientific data, economic data (production and export statistics) and on relevant laws and regulations, but also on existing management plans and inventory reports. Although these species are reported as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, knowledge on their management is still patchy. Industrial and artisanal logging is intensive and does not always follow a validated management plan or abide by the minimum rotation period, both of which would help to ensure the renewal of these resources. Managing them to ensure that logging is sustainable in the long term requires management measures to be developed and complied with. Sustainable use has to be based on appropriate management of natural stands and on reforestation and conservation measures. Research studies to be developed should encompass the growth rates of the species in the light of the changing climate, assessments of stocks (timber, biomass and carbon), updates of their spatial distribution, improvements to natural regeneration, reproduction processes and the anatomical and technical properties of each species. All these research topics are necessary to ensure the permanence of these Entandrophragma species.

Objective: Formation of an effective mechanism for the creation or gradual redistribution of resources to ensure a universal barrier-free environment not only among disabled people (of all categories), but among representatives of people with limited mobility (PLM), through interim solutions and the adoption of compensatory programs (measures). Based on ﬁnding the optimal balance of costs and beneﬁts, in cases of lack of technical or material capabilities associated with improving the development or design of an accessible environment. Methods: The main tools of analysis and management are used: Pareto diagram, cause-effect diagram (Ishikawa), goal setting, structuring, dynamic changes, etc. Results: A variant of the mechanism for the implementation of the step-by-step creation of a universal barrier- free environment is presented not only among disabled people (of all categories), but among PLM. It has been established that if the existing infrastructure facilities of the passenger complex, before their reconstruction or overhaul, cannot be fully adapted to the needs of disabled people, then the introduction of a comprehensive program (roadmap), compensating measures, interim solutions allows minimizing or eliminating the company’s costs. Practical importance: On the example of the obtained algorithm (sequence) of organizing the process to ensure the accessibility of the environment of the passenger complex of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, the principle of phased implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Russian Railways, which is universal, is shown. Formalized solutions should help improve the quality of service, reduce costs and increase customer focus on the Russian Railways network.

Published: October 2021

Abstract. We study the health and physical development indicators of gymnasts aged 7–12 years in the conditions of transition to the stage of sports specialization characterized primarily by the following changes in the content, types and amount of sports training: an increase in the share of special physical training relative to the previous stage; an increase in competitive time; the appearance of such types of training activities as training camps. Special attention is paid to the psychological and pedagogical aspect of sports training in the conditions of increasing the time of competitive activity. In addition, the issues of proportional development of the forms and functions of the body of young gymnasts within the framework of the health balance between the state of athletes and an ordinary child are considered. The data on the composition of body weight in children are presented to ensure the necessary prevention of the risk of diseases (including diseases of the cardiovascular system) in this life period. Determination of the compliance of the studied indicators with the health criteria of children of this age group on the following points: physical development; neuropsychic development (factors of individual psychological personality traits of students); resistance level; level of the functional state of the main systems of the child’s body.
Motivation and information in motor performance: modelling of self-efficacy and knowledge of results interaction in a timing task
Authors: Pacheco Matheus M. , Bastos Flávio H. , Drews Ricardo
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Despite the literature positing a strong relation between motor performance and self-efficacy, few studies address the phenomenon formally. In this sense, how self-efficacy modulates corrections in a trial-to-trial basis and how the performance that individuals consider to be satisfactory modulate both corrections and self-efficacy are not well understood.
AIM: The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a model that relates self-efficacy and performance through a system of difference equations.
METHOD: First, we demonstrate the model’s capabilities through constrained simulations. The, to evaluate the model’s grasp of empirical data, we parameterized the model to capture the constant, variable error, self-efficacy and believed satisfactory performance for each individual.
RESULTS: The model demonstrates capacity to reproduce these summary results when initial conditions are fed to the system of difference equations. However, we observe features that must be improved and qualitative deviations when individuals demonstrate highly variable behavior.
CONCLUSION: The initial results support the current assumptions and included variables in this model.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Validated tests for the quality of movement patterns are important to help teachers to assess and induce positive performance changes. However, few tests are available for handball sport skills.
AIM: Therefore, we developed and validated a checklist to assess dribbling with a jumping throw.
METHOD: First, three handball experts were invited to verify if the checklist which contained all the components that describe the skills, and the logical validity process. Then, fifty participants, aged 8 -12 years old, performed the skill of dribbling with a horizontal jumping throw, fifteen of them were re-tested one week apart. Two raters were also selected to conduct an intra- and inter-rater objectivity assessment. McNemar tests were used to compare the proportion of proficient and non-proficient performance between raters. Cohen’s k tests were used to test the intra and inter-rater objectivity. The intra-class correlation coefficient was used to estimated reliability (test-retest).
RESULTS: The results confirmed that the checklist contained the necessary criteria to characterize the skill and to discriminate children with different proficiency levels. Moderate-to-high inter-and intra-rater agreements were found. Children's performance pre and post-test were highly reliable.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the proposed checklist can reliably analyze the movement pattern of the dribbling with horizontal jumping throw – which can be highly useful for teachers and sports coaches.
Body type as a risk factor for progress of severe pancreatitis
Authors: Starchikhina D. V. , Shapkin Yu. G. , Stekolnikov N. Yu. , Seliverstov P. A.
Published: October 2021

Relevance. Early detection of severe forms of acute pancreatitis remains an unsolved problem of urgent surgery.

Objective of the study: early detection of prognostically unfavorable forms of the disease based on the constitutional characteristics of the patient.

Materials and methods. A comparative prospective analysis of the clinical course of acute pancreatitis in 270 patients with an assessment of the prognostic significance of clinical, instrumental and anthropological data in the early diagnosis of severe forms of acute pancreatitis was carried out. In 179 patients there was a moderate and severe form of the disease, in 91 patients the disease was mild.

Results and discussion. ROC analysis of the studied criteria showed that clinical and laboratory data on the first day of the disease are not reliable predictors of the risk of death. The somatotype and the amount of adipose tissue in the body (type of nutrition) showed a significant predictive value of AUC (0.768 and 0.655, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). At the same time, only the body type AUC (0.658, p < 0.0001) showed statistical reliability as a significant prognostic factor for the progress severity of the patient's condition. The criti cal boundary calculated value of the somatotype is 20 nominal units. The risk group includes persons with a body type close to brachymorphic.

Conclusion. Carrying out somatotyping with the calculation of its numerical values, attributing the patient to a particular type of physique in the group of patients with acute pancreatitis in the early stages from the moment of the disease, is an additional criterion for early prediction of the course of acute pancreatitis and will allow to determine the competent treatment to avoid manifestation of severe form of disease.
Rehabilitation of women after conservative and surgical treatment
Authors: Moldassarina R. S. , Manabayeva G. K. , Akylzhanova Z. Ye. , Rashidova A. M.
Published: October 2021

The relevance of the study is due to the increase in the volume of conservative and surgical care for women who need mandatory rehabilitation measures in the postoperative period. Until relatively recently, there were very few rehabilitation facilities in the country where women could recover under the supervision of a nurse. Therefore, rehabilitation could drag on for many months and it was very difficult to fully return to normal life. In the modern world, it has become possible to undergo all the necessary analyzes and conduct treatment using the latest scientific methods on high-precision equipment, and then perform a full course of postoperative regeneration. After all, medical centers have great technological capabilities today and control the healing process as soon as possible. The nature of the measures for the recovery of women depends on the changes in the body, which are due to the individual background at the time of treatment. It is important to understand the dependence of a woman's position at the time of recovery: the duration of taking medications, the presence of psychological trauma, the development of chronic diseases, the frequency of repeated interventions. The aim of the study is a step-by-step volumetric study of the implementation of various measures aimed at the rehabilitation of women after conservative and surgical treatment. Modern approaches require responsibility, high qualifications of medical personnel and the direct participation of the patient himself in this process. Timely start of rehabilitation ensures productive restoration of lost functions. The main principle of success is the use of standardized methods, informing the patient at all stages of treatment, using techniques with minimal consequences and maximum impact, and analyzing the course of the postoperative period. The need for an in-depth study of the features of providing medical care to patients with gynecological diseases, including after surgical interventions, is confirmed. The practical significance of the material lies in the high-quality and effective organization of medical rehabilitation, which is of key importance for the full restoration of the functions of the woman's reproductive system.

The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is a life-threatening condition. The features of the treatment of COVID-19 in pregnant women are not sufficiently studied and contradictory, therefore, research in this area is relevant.

Objective. Assess the presence of liver disease in pregnant women with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and after childbirth, taking into account the treatment.

Methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 43 pregnant women aged 19 to 39 years (mean age 29.1 ± 5.4 years) who were hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection was performed. The selection was carried out by the method of continuous sampling.

Results. 17 women (39.5%) had an acute respiratory viral disease, 26 people (60.5%) were diagnosed with bilateral polysegmental pneumonia with pulmonary tissue damage from 5 to 25%. In the structure of extragenital pathology, 46.5% of women had anemia and 23.3% of diseases of the hepatobiliary system, including chronic non-calculous cholecystitis (4.7%), biliary dysfunction (7%), chronic viral hepatitis B (2.3%) and chronic viral hepatitis C (9.3%). 6.9% were diagnosed with cholestatic hepatosis of pregnant women before admission to the hospital. An increase in the level of transaminases above the upper normal values was noted in 69.8% of cases, alkaline phosphatase – in 76.7%. In the structure of pregnancy complications in women with COVID-19 infection, fetal hypoxia prevailed in 15 women (34.9%). In second place is premature rupture of amniotic fluid (16.3%) and fetal malnutrition (16.3%).

Conclusions. Pregnant women with diseases of the hepatobiliary system and anemia are most susceptible to new coronavirus infection. They have an increase in the level of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase, which can be caused by liver damage due to the increased tropism of the virus to cholangiocytes and hepatocytes, as well as hepatotoxic drugs. The most common complications of pregnancy in women with a new infection are premature birth, fetal hypoxia, and antenatal death.
