LIMITATION OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF JUDICIAL ACTIVITIES IN THE SYSTEM OF MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES
Authors:   Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Kharkiv, Ukraine, Moskvych L. M.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the problems of legal certainty of the requirements for limiting the compatibility of judicial activity. It is emphasized that legally defined restrictions on the types of additional activities of a judge are not a restriction of human rights to freedom of choice, but are one of the tools for ensuring the independence of judges. The purpose of this article is to analyze the legal regulation of restrictions on the compatibility of judicial activity, to determine their legal nature and to formulate proposals for improving modern legislation in the aspect of legal regulation of requirements for the incompatibility of judges as a tool in the mechanism of ensuring their independence. Based on the generalization of the practice of the High Council of Justice in the context of establishing the facts of violation by judges of the restrictions on co-operation, a number of problems have been identified, one of which is the imperfection of the normative wording of the above-mentioned restrictions. The article carries out a systematic analysis of legislative acts that formulate requirements for limiting judicial activity, which made it possible to formulate the composition of the objective side of a judge’s offense in the field of incompatibility requirements. It was concluded that the proceedings to establish the violation of the requirements regarding the incompatibility of the judicial position are currently classified as a special constitutional procedure, but there are no objective grounds for this. These types of offenses may well be included in the system of disciplinary proceedings, which will ensure the unity of the legal procedure for establishing the fact of a judge’s offense resulting in disciplinary liability. It was concluded that the special terminology used in establishing legal restrictions for judges should be clear and clearly interpreted, correspond to European approaches and national realities. The ban on concurrent work should ensure the good faith, impartiality and objectivity of the judge during the consideration of court cases. In turn, the state must provide the judge with everything necessary at a decent level in order to prevent the offense of incompatibility requirements on the part of judges
Sobre a proteção de bens jurídico-criminais nas sociedades capitalistas.
Authors: Chaves José Mário
Published: March 2024

O presente texto pretende analisar a teoria do bem jurídico-criminal e a suposta neutralidade no que se refere ao juízo de valor concretizado pelo legislador sobre os bens da pessoa humana e da coletividade. Em ambiente capitalista, a escolha do legislador tende a refletir os interesses de determinadas classes sociais hegemônicas. O objetivo geral é apreciar criticamente esse fator, utilizando de argumentos da Criminologia Crítica e de questões próprias e pontuais da Ciência Política. O artigo busca abrir novos caminhos investigativos voltados a aproximar o Direito Criminal da Ciência Política (e não somente da Filosofia da Política). Novos estudos podem coletar dados concretos do cenário político brasileiro e, com isso, examinar a produção das normas jurídico-criminais em relação a diversas perspectivas: influência dos atores com poder de veto, questões impactantes do presidencialismo de coalização etc. Para construir um conhecimento interdisciplinar, utilizou-se do método dialógico. Como resultado, evidenciou-se nesta pesquisa que o discurso oficial se traduz nas noções de igualdade e de proteção geral, mas a prática legislativa demonstra que nem sempre há equanimidade na seleção dos bens (jurídicos).
Eu (não) vi o que você fez: antigos dilemas regulatórios em (então) novos tempos de internet
Authors: Pieranti Octavio Penna
Published: March 2024

O estudo da internet disseminou-se, na década de 1990 e no início do atual século, em diferentes áreas do conhecimento. No Direito, foram abordados temas como garantia de direitos fundamentais, regulação, processo legislativo e tipos penais no cenário da internet. O caráter "disruptivo", "revolucionário" e "paradigmático" do novo contexto também foi realçado nessa área. O objetivo deste artigo é desmistificar a percepção de que a Internet, por suas especificidades técnicas, trouxe à luz dilemas regulatórios e jurídicos sem precedentes na história. A partir de textos que podem ser considerados clássicos sobre a discussão da internet na área do Direito, como os escritos por Reidenberg, Lessig e Berman, pretende-se demonstrar que vários dos desafios listados por esses autores já haviam sido enfrentados. São tratados especificamente três dilemas propostos nos textos clássicos sobre o tema: (a) supremacia da regulação indireta; (b) superação das fronteiras nacionais; e (c) impossibilidade de sigilo. Conclui-se que algumas análises realizadas à época apresentaram como novos dilemas situações que eram, há décadas, tratadas no âmbito das comunicações.
HUMAN DIGNITY, MORAL DAMAGE, AND KILLINGS BY AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS SYSTEMS
Authors: Barbosa Lutiana Valadares Fernandes
Published: March 2024

The present article aims to discuss if the fact that Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) killed or injured a person generates moral damage, and if there is a presumption of moral damage, being unnecessary for the plaintiff to prove the moral suffering to be entitled to reparation from the State. First, the article defines LAWS and provides a brief perspective on moral damage in international law based on the International Law CommissionÂ´s Draft Articles on State Responsibility and scholarship. Next, it discusses if LAWS killings or injuries violate the principle of human dignity. Then it highlights international case-law from the international human rights courts on moral damage in re ipsa. The article concludes that LAWS's killings or injuries generate a relative presumption of moral damage.
THE EMOTIONAL DIMENSION OF MEXICAN CLIMATE ACTIVISM: A SOCIOCULTURAL APPROACH
Authors: Poma Alice , Gravante Tommaso
Published: March 2024

Since many disciplines started to examine emotions in the nineties, studies that focus on emotions and protest have increased, despite the difficulties of systematizing the complex matrix of emotions that activists feel, as well as the limitations that emotion labels create. In this article, we show how using a sociocultural approach to analyze emotions and protest allows us to overcome these limitations that belong to the classical view of emotions. We will do this by analyzing the emotional dimension of the new wave of the climate movement in Mexico (2019-2022). The article focuses on how several long-term and medium-term emotions that activists feel affect their climate activism, influencing, for instance, the framing of the problem, the perception of the threat, and how emotions interact with each other. This article helps highlight both the potential and the difficulties of the sociocultural approach to emotion and protest in the context of the climate crisis.

Authors:   Research Institute For Life And Culture Sogang University, Kim Min Jeong , Lim Hae Young
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to present a discussion point for social welfare practice for efforts to resolve discrimination that can further supplement the legal provisions of indirect discrimination in the Disability Discrimination Act by embodying the meaning of indirect discrimination perceived by the disabled.
To this end, data on the experiences of indirect discrimination experienced by them were collected through general qualitative research methods tageting 6 people with physical disabilities and brain lesions. data collection and analysis were conducted for about 90 minutes per 2 sessions of each study participant, and the collected data were transcribed and analyzed on units of meaning.
As a result of the analysis, it was found that the areas of indirect discrimination experienced by the disabled are experienced under five themes: ‘one-sidedness of non-disabled support personnel', ‘doubleness caused by mandatory employment', ‘discrimination in employment relationships', ‘discrimination in schools', and ‘the problem of insufficiency of provided convenience facilities'. Based on the results of this analysis, several suggestions were presented.

Exploring alternative avenues, in vitro culture emerges as a promising option for potential bioactive compound sources. However, compared to intact plants, only a few cultures demonstrate efficient synthesis of secondary metabolites. Elicitors have gained prominence as stress agents for enhancing in vitro micropropagation in specific tissues, organs, and cells. Recent advancements in plant tissue culture involve elicitors, opening new possibilities for in vitro production of crucial food crops. This research aimed to investigate the impact of three elicitors (Activane®, Micobiol®, and Stemicol®) on germination and in vitro multiplication of two tomato cultivars explants, employing both direct and indirect in vitro organogenesis. Among the texted elicitors, Micobiol® emerged as a successful elicitor, promoting optimal seed germination, survival, and 100% growth compared to the 80% in the control group. Further, Activane® exhibited a favourable induction response and achieved 96%, 95%, and 100% in weight and diameter of callus, yet various elicitor concentrations did not exert significant influence across treatments. In conclusion, an effective disinfection and in vitro implantation of tomato seeds ensured successful germination, promoting seedling survival and growth. Various elicitors positively impacted in vitro organogenesis, particularly in root induction, with higher survival percentages in acclimatized plants. The study guides future research on elicitor treatments for large-scale tomato in vitro propagation, emphasizing the need to identify optimal elicitor concentrations.

Published: March 2024

SARS-COV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) was initially tested in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019 and had a devastating impact worldwide, exterminating more than 6 million people as of September 2022. It became the biggest worldwide health crisis since the 1918 influenza outbreak. Viruses generally mutate randomly, so predicting how SARS-CoV-2 will transform over the next few months or years and which forms will predominate is impossible. The possibilities for virus mutation, in theory, are practically endless. Enabling researchers to determine which antibodies have the potential to be most effective against existing and future variations could help machine learning to assist in drug discovery. In the COVID-19 pandemic, AI has benefited four key areas: diagnosis, clinical decision-making for public health, virtual assistance, and therapeutic research. This study conducted a discourse analysis and textual evaluation of AI (deep learning and machine learning) concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. Further, this study also discusses the latest inventions that can be very helpful in future pandemic detection. COVID-19 has already changed our lives, and in the future, we might be able to deal with pandemics like this with the help of AI. This review has also emphasized the legal implications of AI in the battle against COVID-19.

Authors: Genç Şermin , Candan Selami
Published: March 2024

Aelia rostrata (Fabricius, 1803) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has a piercing mouthpiece type that is supplied with a plant sap-absorbing nose type. Aelia rostrata mainly consumes wheat but also nourishes wild Gramineae species, making it an important pest known as the wheat stink bug. In this study, A. rostrata samples were collected in August-October 2014 from various fields of agricultural and wild plants in and around the Bala district of Ankara province. Then the structure of the insect digestive canal was investigated using a light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the digestive canal of A. rostrata consists of three distinct regions: foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The foregut consists of the salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, and proventriculus. The midgut has an anterior, median (canal structure of the midgut), and posterior midgut (bulb structure of the midgut). Hindgut has the ileum and rectum. There are Malpighian and gastric caeca depending on the ileum. In the foregut, salivary glands and stomach are composed of cylindrical epithelium, have cylindrical epithelium while the accessory salivary gland and the midgut canal are formed from cuboidal epithelium and also the proventriculus is made from pseudo-stratified epithelium. In the midgut, the cylindrical channel of the midgut causes the cubic epithelium, while the "bulb" causes squamous epithelium. In the hindgut, the ileum occurs as cylindrical epitheliums, and the rectum consists of cubic-cylindrical epithelium. This study will contribute greatly to the scientific world of studies on the digestive tract structure of insects.-

Published: March 2024

En este artículo se identifican tres etapas ocurridas entre 1990 y 2020 en la evolución del sector de telecomunicaciones en México. Estos cambios se concentraron en el marco institucional y su efecto se visibilizó en los proyectos de digitalización respecto a la convergencia de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones. En principio, construimos un marco teórico y lo operamos en un estudio longitudinal que nos permite ilustrar el avance modesto de los programas de digitalización y la transformación digital en México, lo cual tiene eco en los reportes internacionales. Posteriormente, discutimos las contradicciones en la visión de Estado respecto al marco institucional y regulatorio del sector. Esto explica, en gran medida, la falta de avance de los programas de digitalización, lo que sugiere la necesidad de una nueva generación de reformas para impulsar el desarrollo digital desde la esfera del Estado.

Objective/Background. Epidemiological research on Phaseolus coccineus is lacking. The aim was to develop and validate digital methods to quantify the severity associated with powdery mildew in ayocote bean. Materials and Methods. An ayocote bean plot with 65.3 % incidence and 22.7 % average powdery mildew foliar severity was selected. Based on 250 leaves collected in field with varying severity degrees, eight 7- and 8-class logarithmic-diagrammatic scales (ELD) were designed and validated in a controlled environment (CEV) and field (FV). In Rstudio®, accuracy (β), precision (R2), reproducibility (r), and agreement level were determined with Cohen’s kappa index (kw) and Lin’s concordance coefficient (LCC). Additionally, a Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) was performed by scale and assessment environment for clustering by similarity evaluation. In ArcMap® v10.3, in a 15-quadrant block, an ‘image segmentation’ analysis was performed using supervised classification and maximum likelihood to estimate powdery mildew severity and an indicator of canopy coverage index (VCI). Results. In VEC-1, v1r2 (ELD-7c; β=1.07, R2=0.93, r=0.87) and v1r1 (ELD-8c; β=0.97, R2=0.85, r=0.87) scales were best evaluated. In VEC-2, comparing clusters conformed in the HCA, the ELD-7c was the best scored with perfect accuracy (β>0.96), very high precision (R2>0.94), very high reproducibility (r=0.97-0.99) and very high agreement (κw>0.96; LCC>0.97); and in ELD-8c reproducibility and agreement decreased. In VCa, ELD-7c maintained optimal metrics, but ELD-8c reached ideal parameters for preventive ELD in early stages of powdery mildew (β>0.98, R2>0.98, r=0.99, κw=0.99-0.999, LCC=0.98-0.999). Image analysis estimated severity = 8.4 % (CI = 5.3 - 12.6 %) and ICV = 0.88 (CI = 0.76 - 0.99), contrasting with field assessment 47% (CI = 38.8 - 55.3%) and 0.46 (CI = 0.76 - 0.99), respectively, mainly with ICV > 0.94 due to less symptomatic leaf exposure. Suggests applicability for canopy estimation with restrictions for severity based on pathogen expression. Conclusion. A methodology for ELD development is proposed, comprising: image acquisition, processing and quantification; controlled validation and field validation. Validation statistics included precision (R2); accuracy (β); reproducibility (Pearson’s coefficient and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis); and agreement (Lin’s Coefficient and Kappa Index), proposed in a comprehensive approach for first time. RGB-drone images are proposed to estimate a comprehensive vigor and severity coverage index.

Authors: Merino Carolina , Albornoz Salas Gabriela , Oyarzún Díaz Patricia , Valderrama Gaete Guillermo
Published: March 2024

El propósito de esta investigación es reconocer las trayectorias lectoras de algunos profesores en formación para establecer su perfil lector, el valor que atribuyen a la lectura literaria y el papel de los mediadores en su implicación con la lectura. Se analizan trescientas cuarenta (340) autobiografías lectoras escritas por futuros docentes de lengua y literatura de ocho generaciones de la Universidad Católica del Maule. Es un estudio no experimental transversal que empleó la técnica “historias de lector” para recolectar información acerca de las preferencias de lectura, detectadas de acuerdo con la frecuencia de los títulos mencionados. Los resultados muestran que los libros leídos en la infancia, ya sea literatura infantil tradicional o de autor, duplican los títulos de las categorías conformadas por cuentos y novelas para adultos. Es posible afirmar que la literatura infantil es central en las biografías; sin embargo, los perfiles diacrónicos revelan que las últimas generaciones reportan menos cuentos infantiles que las precedentes, y más títulos del mundo adulto que forman parte del canon escolar.

Agroforestry is strategic in reconciling food production with forest biodiversity conservation. The methodical investigation of the beneficial and ecological imperativeness that informs smallholder farmers’ commitment to agroforestry is called for. This work is therefore an attempt to examine the relative importance of farmers' attitudes towards forest loss and perceived benefits of agroforestry in farmers' commitment to agroforestry among a group of farmers in Oyo State, southwestern Nigeria. The study is a cross-sectional survey that featured the interview administration of 400 structured questionnaires among crop farmers that were selected through clustered purposive sampling. Respondent’s agreement with sets of relevant statements was elicited and used in the assessment of variables. Independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to examine the significance of the difference in respondents’ commitment to agroforestry across sub-groups of gender and age/education respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between variables. Results indicate that 57.8% exhibited a 'high' commitment to agroforestry. Gender, age and education had main effects on commitment (p < 0.05). There is no significant relationship between attitude towards forest loss and commitment to agroforestry (r = 0.038, p > 0.05) but not perceived benefits (r = 0.426, p < 0.05). Being male, middle-aged and poorly educated are significantly more predisposing to exhibiting lower commitment to agroforestry. There is hardly an ecological or forest restoration motivation for agroforestry in the study area. Ecologically smart agriculture or the restorative importance of agroforestry appears to be poorly entrenched among farmers in the study area.
Noise Causes Work Stress in Traditional Boat Workers
Authors: Faiza Sabrina Nurul , Febriyanto Kresna
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Noise is an unwelcome sound that disrupts workers. Noise is present in every workplace, including ship engine noise. Continuous noise exposure can result in health issues, including hearing loss. Noise can cause stress on traditional boat workers because being continuously exposed to noise causes an uncomfortable feeling in the work environment. This uncomfortable feeling can trigger stress on ferry boat workers. This study aims to determine the relationship between noise and work stress on ferry boat workers at the Pier of Kampung Baru Tengah, Balikpapan. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional research design with 44 respondents. The instruments used a Sound Level Meter to measure Noise Level and Dass 21 Questionnaire with an interview method to measure Job Stress. Results: As many as 35 respondents were exposed to noise caused by traditional boat engines, and more than 50% of workers did not experience work stress (normal). The results of this study indicated a relationship between noise and work stress in traditional boat workers. Conclusion: The direction of the association between noise and work stress was positive but low, meaning that, as noise levels rise, so does the risk of workplace stress.

Authors:   Korean Academy Welfare Counselling, f f , f f
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in the pre-school teachers thinking about picture books after the application of the non-curriculum centered on picture books. The participants are 13 preschool teachers who are enrolled in the 4-year early childhood education department in G-Metropolitan City. The program of experiencing picture books through reading texts and pictures was conducted for them 10 times. As research tools, a metaphorical questionnaire and a drawing method were used. The research results are presented as follows. First, pre-school teachers mainly recognized picture books as a tool for knowledge formation before experiencing the extracurricular program, but after that, they considered the intrinsic value of literature itself as a driving force for thinking and thinking as important. Second, it is a narrative understanding method that focuses on solving problems centered on the main character, mainly focusing on the plot, but after that, the limitless potential emanating from the picture book itself to recognize the importance of all the components of the picture book and understand the interrelationship. Third, I came to have an opinion on ‘picture books that adults can also share in the future from exclusives for toddlers’. Based on these results, it is expected that various non-curricular programs related to picture books will be developed and operated to enhance the broad understanding of picture books, literary literacy and competence of pre-school teachers.

Published: March 2024

This study is an exploratory study on social workers’ application of practical perspectives. The purpose of this study was to obtain the implications necessary to improve the competencies of social workers by identifying their understanding and practical experience of the eco-system perspective and strengths perspectives. Data were collected from 8 practitioners through focus group interviews. The research results are as follows; 6 themes from the eco-system perspective are ‘person in the environment’, ‘environment as a source of resources and problem’, ‘assessing client and the environment all inclusive’, ‘the purpose which is connecting with client and environment’, ‘intervention process which is including the environment’, ‘having difficulties’, 10 themes from strengths perspective are ‘respect for client’s initiative in life’, ‘having the ability and potentiality’, ‘focusing on the positive’, ‘from the client’, ‘practice process based on client’s capabilities’, ‘empowerment’, ‘working with clients’, ‘change of clients’, ‘change of social workers’, ‘having difficulties’, and 2 themes from the necessary to apply both two perspectives are ‘institutional efforts’, ‘learning and training’. Based on these results, proposals are presented to apply the two perspectives to practice and strengthen social work practice expertise.

Authors:   Korean Academy Welfare Counselling, Oh Son Hui , Choi Bo Yeong
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-differentiation, career decision-making level, and grit to determine whether grit moderates the effect of self-differentiation on the career decision-making level. The data consisted of 351 responses from undergraduates nationwide, collected by an Internet survey company. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression were performed for the data analysis using SPSS 22.0 and SPSS Macro Process. The results first showed a significant positive correlation between self-differentiation, career decision-making levels, and grit. Second, self-differentiation positively affected the career decision-making level. Third, grit was found to moderate the relationship between self-differentiation and career decision-making levels. There were significant differences in career decision-making levels depending on grit regardless of whether self-differentiation was high or low. These results suggest that increasing the degree of self-differentiation and improving grit to enhance the career decision-making level of undergraduates can be an effective intervention in career counseling. Based on the above results, the study’s significance, limitations, and suggestions are presented.

Published: March 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between working hours, break time, and stress response among childcare teachers. We hypothesized that break time could help alleviate the negative impact of long working hours on stress levels among childcare teachers. We measured stress response across four sub-dimensions: emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical. We collected data from 362 childcare teachers working in various daycare centers (e.g., national and corporate, private and home day care centers) in the Gyeonggi-do area. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and a stepwise regression model using SPSS 28 and JAMOVI. Our results show that working hours were positively associated with all four dimensions of stress response, indicating that longer working hours can lead to increased stress in all domains. However, when we included break time in the analysis, the association between working hours and behavioral/physical stress response was no longer significant. For emotional and cognitive stress response, the working hour coefficient remained significant but decreased in magnitude. Additionally, we found a direct negative effect of break time on stress, suggesting that taking breaks can help alleviate stress across all four dimensions. The results of this study are meaningful in that they provided basic data and ideas on the direction of institutional development for this, hoping that the need for rest time and the working environment for childcare facilities will be re-examined.

Authors:   Korean Academy Welfare Counselling, Ha Su Kyung
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the self-concept and achievement motivation on social anxiety of university students in the K areas. Participants completed questionnaires on self-concept, achievement motivation, speech anxiety, social phobia, and social interaction anxiety test and included total 353. The data were analyzed using correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results of the study were as follows: First, self-concept and achievement motivation showed significant positive correlation. but self-concept, achievement motivation and speech anxiety, social phobia, social interaction anxiety showed significant negative correlation. By looking at these results, university students experience more self-concept as they have high more achievement motivation and more self-concept and achievement motivation as they have low speech anxiety, social phobia, and social interaction anxiety. Second, as a result of regression analysis on relation of speech anxiety, social phobia, and social interaction anxiety, self-concept variable were the main predictor and negative effects. The significance of this study was that specifically examined self-concept corresponding to the cognitive structure from a counseling perspective on social anxiety of university students.
The Mediating Effect of Grit on the Relationship between Academic Self-efficacy and Self-directed Learning Ability in Middle School Students
Authors:   Korean Academy Welfare Counselling, Lee Ji Yu , Cho Gyu Pan
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the mediating effect of grit (steady effort and consistency of interest) in the relationship between middle school students’ academic self-efficacy and self-directed learning ability. A survey was conducted on 311 middle school students, and the data were analyzed. Correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between academic self-efficacy, self-directed learning ability, and grit, and regression analysis was conducted to verify the mediating effect of grit. First, there was a significant positive correlation between middle school students’ academic self-efficacy, self-directed learning ability, and steady effort. Second, in the relationship between middle school students’ academic self-efficacy and self-directed learning ability, the steady effort has been verified as a partial mediating effect. Third, the consistency of interest did not show a mediating effect in the relationship between middle school students’ academic self-efficacy and self-directed learning ability. Collectively, our results suggest that the importance of academic self-efficacy and steady effort that affect middle school students’ self-directed learning ability.
Leveraging active queries in collaborative robotic mission planning
Authors: Berger Cyrille , Doherty Patrick , Rudol Piotr , Wzorek Mariusz
Published: March 2024

This paper focuses on the high-level specification and generation of 3D models for operational environments using the idea of active queries as a basis for specifying and generating multi-agent plans for acquiring such models. Assuming an underlying multi-agent system, an operator can specify a request for a particular type of model from a specific region by specifying an active query. This declarative query is then interpreted and executed by collecting already existing data/information in agent systems or, in the active case, by automatically generating high-level mission plans for agents to retrieve and generate parts of the model that do not already exist. The purpose of an active query is to hide the complexity of multi-agent mission plan generation, data transformations, and distributed collection of data/information in underlying multi-agent systems. A description of an active query system, its integration with an existing multi-agent system and validation of the active query system in field robotics experimentation using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and simulations are provided.

The problem of arbovirus infections remains relevant in many countries, including Russian Federation. These infections are characterized by a constantly expanding area of their distribution, antigenic variability, and emergence of new genetic variants. Moreover, there are still no effective causal therapy and adequate preventive measures for this group of diseases. One of the important representatives of arboviruses is West Nile virus (WNV). Cases of WNV infection are registered every year in different regions of Russia; however, there is no distinct long-term trend to its further spread or formation of stable infection foci. This review aims to explore the latest data on different aspects of WNV infection, including its etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. We used descriptive and analytical methods, performed literature analysis, classified and summarized the information. A total of 457 articles were identified in PubMed; 216 articles in Russian were found in e-Library; 282 articles were found in Cyberleninka. We analyzed 169 articles meeting the aims of our review and finally included 25 articles. Key words: West Nile virus, Arboviruses, West Nile fever, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations
