Authors: Akbari Mohammad Farhad , Naseri Mohammad Elyas
Published: February 2023

This study was carried out to examine the effects of bank-specific factors and macroeconomics on the financial viability of commercial banks in Afghanistan. The ten banking institutions' panel data sets for the years 2010–2021 were used. A random Effect model of regression was applied. The model of random effects was recommended when the Hausman test was employed to confirm the models' fitness. The null hypotheses were also rejected based on the results of the Wooldridge test for serial correlation and the modified Wald test for group-wise heteroscedasticity. The findings of current research revealed that bank determinants, specifically liquidity and asset management, showed a positive but slight effect on bank profits, while deposit ratio, bank number of branches, and ATMs showed a negative influence. Regarding macroeconomic factors, the outcomes indicated that the influence of the GDP, exchange rate, and inflation rate on bank profitability was negative, while the interest rate, taxes, and industry growth rate had a positive and significant impact on bank profitability. Additionally, by highlighting weak points, the study's findings will assist the management of banks, financiers, the government, policymakers, and shareholders in taking better decisions and enhancing bank performance. Overall, decision-makers need to be better knowledgeable about the factors that affect the profitability of Afghan commercial banks.

The future International Court of Human Rights with the participation of Russia: options for possibilities
Authors: Kleandrov Mikhail I.
Published: February 2023

The article raises and examines the problem of the possibility of Russia’s participation in one of the future regional international human rights courts, which has matured after the termination of the Russian Federation's membership in the European Court of Human Rights. The author considers the following options: the Court of Human Rights in the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Court of Human Rights of the Union State of Belarus – Russia, the Asian Court of Human Rights (on the legal platform of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions), etc. Being sure that Russia cannot be a member of two or more international human rights courts at the same time, the author justifies the need for States intending to create an International Human Rights Court to develop and adopt an appropriate international human rights act. Only by focusing and relying on this act, the International Court of Human Rights will be able to determine whether the rights of a person who has applied to the Court have been violated and make an appropriate ruling.
The consequences of Brexit for the constitutional system of the Great Britain
Authors: Kodaneva Svetlana I.
Published: February 2023

The vote in the 2016 referendum on exit from the EU was held under the slogan “take back con-trol”, which, in particular, meant the return of parliamentary sovereignty, lost as a result of the transfer of some powers to the supranational level and the impossibility for the UK Parliament to influence decisions taken in Brussels. However, in the process of withdrawal, the UK faced a number of constitutional problems that led to one of the most serious constitutional crises in the history of British parliamentarism, caused by the clash of parliamentary and popular sovereignty, on the one hand, and the lack of a written constitution clearly delineating the powers of the three branches of government, on the other hand. This article is devoted to the analysis of the conse-quences of this crisis for the stability of the traditional constitutional system of Great Britain.
State crimes in the system the Special part of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Nikolaeva Julia V.
Published: February 2023

A retrospective analysis of the formation of norms on state crimes is inseparable from the history of Russia’s development and allows us to determine their place in the system of a special part of criminal legislation of various historical periods. In the article, the author puts up for discussion one of the important debatable issues of legal science and practice – what is primary, the state (as a social institution) or a person and, as a result of possible answers to this question, analyzes the legal mechanisms of state protection of human rights and freedoms. Using the example of a comparative legal study of the composition of state crimes in the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1960 and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of 1996, as well as scientific discussions on this topic, the author formulates the conclusion that the analysis of the tasks facing the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1922, 1926, 1960, indicates the focus of codified acts on the protection of existing public relationships. In Article 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of 1996, for the first time, in addition to protection, the task of preventing crimes is fixed. Its implementation, in turn, predetermined the appearance in a Special part of the Criminal Code, including in Chapter 29, of incentive norms on the release of persons who have committed specific crimes from criminal liability in the presence of appropriate positive behavior.
The hypothesis of reasonable equality in freedom: basic provisions
Authors: Gilmullin Ainur
Published: February 2023

The author focuses on rational equality in freedom, considered as one of the essential features of a certain type of legal understanding.
Special emphasis in the work is placed on the fundamental foundations of legal freedom, the formation and development of which, according to the author, occurred as a result of the evolutionary exclusion and reduction of non-viable, destructive to the social structure of human behavior models - reasonable selection. It is reasonable selection that has shown that the only brainchild of the culture of all mankind that can become a reasonable means of ensuring the safe and effective realization of human needs is a right expressing a certain freedom, which is based on the imperative of preserving human nature.
The author substantiates the following thesis: in order for everyone to claim freedom based on the imperative of preserving human nature, that is, in order to achieve reasonable equality in freedom, such freedom must be expressed in an equal form, through which the same and normative distribution of such freedoms will be ensured.
As a result of the analysis, the main conclusions are formulated that the right, the essential features of which come from the foundation of freedom – the imperative of preserving human nature, implemented on the basis of an equal form, can be interpreted from a different point of view – rationally egalitarian, based on ensuring rational equality in the process of regulating social relations.

Legal issues in the use of chatbots in socio-political communications
Authors: Sannikova Larisa
Published: February 2023

Political bots have become an important tool for political technologists. In all major electoral processes around the world, the active use of chatbots on social media has been documented. However, researchers have identified the negative effects of such bots on political processes. The destructive essence of political bots is that they are a digital tool to manipulate public consciousness. Therefore, there is a need to establish a legal framework for the use of such artificial intelligence systems in socio-political communications. The article analyses the experience of foreign countries and substantiates the necessity of legislative consolidation of the principle of transparency of artificial intelligence systems, which will allow to oblige developers and owners of such systems to mark them. Informing users that they are interacting with an artificial intelligence system will reduce the risk of manipulating the public consciousness.
The Relevance of Online Video Clips for the Online Informal Learning of English for Transport Technology – A Corpus-Based Approach
Authors: Jurkovic Violeta
Published: February 2023

As a result of the vast opportunities for the use of English in everyday online life, the field of online informal learning of languages, in particular English, has attracted a new wave of research attention. Importantly for this study, it has been confirmed that online engagement in activities involving the use of English has a positive effect on the development of English language proficiency, and that watching online video clips in English is one of the most frequent activities that students engage in. Nevertheless, the number of corpus-based studies in this field remains scant. In addition, no research study has addressed the relevance of online video clips for the online informal learning of English in the specific field of transport technology. In order to bridge this research gap, the objective of this paper is to adopt a corpus-based approach to explore whether a careful selection of video clips in the specific domain of transport technology has the potential to support or supplement the core course materials. The construction of a specialised corpus of video clips adopted a six-step methodology that allowed the preparation, collection, documentation, construction, analysis, and finally evaluation of the corpus. This corpus was then compared against the corpus of the core course materials in terms of lexical density, terminology, and four-grams. The findings of the study indicate that, if carefully selected, video clips have the potential to support the formal language learning process, and should therefore contribute to the understanding of the potential of online informal learning of English in discipline-specific settings; moreover, the adopted methodology may serve as a guide for informed audio-visual material selection and analysis in any language for specific purposes.

Lessons Learned on Academic Integrity in E-Teaching and E-Learning during the Coronavirus Crisis
Authors: Ivić Vlatka , Šoštarić Blaženka
Published: February 2023

The intensive development of information and communication technologies has introduced significant changes in teaching over recent decades and has shifted the focus of teaching methodology in higher education towards e-learning and e-teaching. The transition to online teaching was accelerated by the coronavirus crisis in 2020. During the various lockdowns, most teachers were forced to swiftly transfer their activities online and had to deal with the issue of the online evaluation of students’ work to be able to successfully complete the academic year. One of the biggest challenges for teachers seems to have been the prevention of e-cheating. This appears to have resulted in much higher, unrealistic grades for some students, whereas those who do not e-cheat fall unfairly behind. The aim of this paper is to analyse the achievements of students at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek in the courses of Contemporary English Language 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the academic years 2018/2019, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, by comparing the achievements of the same students in the classroom environment in the winter semester and in the online environment in the summer semester. The students’ achievements will be additionally compared with the previous academic years in order to establish whether there is a significant difference in the students’ achievement working on the same task forms in the off-line and online environment. The overall objective is to explore the possibilities and problems of applying different task forms for the e-teaching of both general English and English for Academic Purposes in higher education, in order to ensure the most objective, realistic and fair results at the end of the courses and to raise the students’ awareness of the importance of academic and professional integrity.

Published: February 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of educational institutions around the world. Policies of social distancing and restrictive movement made it impossible to teach in the traditional way in the classroom, and forced higher education institutions to organize classes using digital technologies. The transition to online teach ing was a great challenge for both teaching staff and students, but it also paved the way for the introduction of digital teaching and learning. This research aims to evaluate and compare the success of those students who attended traditional classes before the pandemic and the success of the students who attended online classes during the pandemic. The data were collected for a group of students who attended the first part of the Foreign Language Course 1 in traditional classes in the period March - June 2019, as well as data on the same group of students who attended the Foreign Language Course 2 online in the period March - June 2020. The data were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics statistical programme. In order to get the results, i.e. to answer the main research question of whether the way of conducting and monitoring classes affects the success of students, a T-test of paired samples was conducted. The obtained results show that there is a significant difference in the success of the students who attended classes in two different ways. Given the uncertain epidemiological situation, it is necessary to adequately prepare for the next academic year. The paper presents suggestions for improving online teaching and learning.

Background and Objectives: Regarding the important role of Staphylococcus aureus in burn wound infection, the present study aims to investigate of the effect of Polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold containing Myrtus communis extract and silver nanoparticles on the healing of burn wound infections induced by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 42 male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups of 6. After anesthesia, second-degree burns on the back of the rats’ necks were created and MRSA was then injected into the wound area. The rats’ wounds were treated daily with nanofiber PCL containing Myrtus communis extract and silver nanoparticles. Antimicrobial properties, wound healing percentage, wound area, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels, and total antioxidant capacity were measured. Data were analyzed in GraphPad software using Tukey’s test and ANOVA. Results: The wound area measurement showed the better effects on would healing in the groups treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract and PCL+Myrtus communis extract+silver nanoparticles compared other groups. In bacteriological studies, the groups treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract and PCL+Myrtus communis extract+silver nanoparticle showed more reduced bacterial growth compared to the PCL alone and positive control groups. Moreover, biochemical tests showed a decrease in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in rats treated by PCL+Myrtus communis extract compared to other groups. Conclusion: Myrtus communis extract and silver nanoparticles can cause changes in PCL properties, which have an important role in reducing the time required for wound healing and in preventing the progression of MRSA-induced wound infection

Background and Objectives Identification of the risk factors for falls to prevent the risk of fall and reduce the related costs in older adults is necessary. This study aims to translate and determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the self-rated fall risk questionnaire (FRQ) for Iranian older adults. Methods In this methodological study, participants were 60 older people who were selected from the Retirement Center in Qom, Iran in 2021 using a convenience sampling method. For translation, the backward/forward technique was used. Then, content validity, face validity, and construct validity were evaluated. To evaluate the construct validity, the known-groups validity (comparsion of groups with and without a history of fall), convergent and divergent validity were used. Reliability was determined by assessing internal consistency. Results The results of known-groups comparison showed that the mean score of FRQ in older people with a history of fall was higher than in older people without a history of fall. The significant correlation of the score of FRQ with the scores of timed up & go test (r= 0.428, P<0.001), and 30-second chair stand test (r=-0.333, P<0.01) confirmed the convergent and divergent validity, respectively. The Kuder-Richardson coefficient (0.624) confirmed the internal consistency of the Persian FRQ. Conclusion The Persian version of the self-rated FRQ has satisfactory psychometric properties. It can be used to measure the risk factors of fall in fall prevention interventions for Iranian older adults.

Background and Objectives: This study aims to predict the improvement in the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) based on distress tolerance, tolerance of uncertainty, and cognitive avoidance. Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study. Participants were 129 patients with GAD referred to medical centers in Isfahan, Iran, who were selected by a sequential sampling method. Data collection tools included the 7-item GAD questionnaire, distress tolerance scale of Simons and Gaher, Intolerance of Uncertainty scale and cognitive avoidance questionnaire of Sexton and Dugas. Pearson correlation test and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the data in SPSS software, version 26. Results: The results showed that the improvement of GAD symptoms had a positive significant relationship with distress tolerance (P=0.01) and a negative significant relationship with intolerance of uncertainty (P<0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between improvement of GAD and cognitive avoidance (P>0.05). Conclusion: The increase of distress tolerance and uncertainty tolerance can relive GAD symptoms. The cognitive avoidance variable had no effect on its improvement.

Background and Objectives: Cadmium (Cd) can induce lipid peroxidation, increase malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduce total oxidative capacity (TAC) in the testis by producing free radicals and, as a result, cause infertility. This study aims to determine the effect of a period of endurance exercise on MDA levels and TAC of testicular tissue in adult male rats with infertility induced by cadmium chloride. Methods: In this experimental study, 32 healthy adult male Wistar rats weighing 250±30 g and aged 12 weeks were used, which were randomly divided into four groups of control (n=8), exercise (n=8), Cd (n=8), and Cd+exercise (n=8). The endurance exercise program was presented at five sessions per week for 5 weeks. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 24 using one-way analysis of variance and by the Least Significant Difference post hoc test. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: The MDA and TAC in the exercise group were increased significantly compared to the control group (P<0.05), indicating that moderate-intensity endurance exercise significantly increased the TAC and MDA of testicular tissue in Cd-induced infertility. Cd increased oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant enzymes. Moderate-intensity endurance exercise significantly increased the antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion: Given the effects of moderate-intensity endurance exercise in rats with Cd-induced infertility, it can be said that these exercises can make the body more resistant to oxidative stress products.

Анотація. Подано інформацію про роль спортивної інфраструктури у залученні різних груп населення до оздоровчо-рекреаційної рухової активності. Мета. Оцінити розвиток спортивної інфраструктури в місті-мільйоннику як чинника залучення різних груп населення до оздоровчо-рекреаційної рухової активності. Методи. Теоретичний аналіз фахової науково-методичної літератури, аналіз ресурсів мережі Інтернет, контент-аналіз документальних та статистичних матеріалів, синтез, узагальнення. Результати. Аналіз статистичних даних дозволив визначити кількість спортивних споруд в Україні та в м. Київ. Встановлено, що об’єкти спортивної інфраструктури нерівномірно розбудовуються у міській та сільській місцевості. Визначено проблеми використання спортивних споруд, що впливають на залучення різних груп населення до оздоровчо-рекреаційної рухової активності. Аналіз спортивної інфраструктури міста-мільйонника свідчить про суттєве відставання у будівництві та розвитку спортивних споруд, що суттєво лімітує рівень залучення різних груп населення до оздоровчо-рекреаційної рухової активності. Встановлено, що незважаючи на значну кількість спортивних об’єктів існують певні проблеми у її використанні.

Анотація. Розкрито проблему сучасного етапу розвитку гімнастики спортивної (чоловіки) та удосконалення рівня фізичної підготовленості гімнастів шляхом використання нових методів і засобів під час підготовки юних спортсменів на початковому етапі навчання. Мета. Визначити показники фізичної підготовленості юних гімнастів групи початкової підготовки. Методи. Аналіз та узагальнення даних науково-методичної літератури, науково-педагогічні спостереження, педагогічне тестування, методи математичної статистики. Результати. У ході проведення педагогічного експерименту виявлено, що у дітей експериментальної групи покращився результат на 0,4 с за тестом біг на 20 м (p < 0,001); за тестом кут в упорі на брусах – на 7 с (p < 0,05); за тестом згинання та розгинання рук у висі на перекладині – на 5,2 раза (p < 0,05). Також відбулися зміни на 3,4 раза за тестом піднімання ніг (p < 0,05); на 5,5 раза – згинання та розгинання рук в упорі на брусах (p < 0,05). За тестом на розвиток гнучкості (міст) відбулися зміни на 1,42 бала; на 1,7 бала – результат на рівень гнучкості (шпагати) (p < 0,05). Отже, результати дослідження показали статистично значущі відмінності початкового і повторного результатів тестування за всіма показниками, що свідчить про ефективність нашого дослідження. Зі сказаного випливає, що тема дослідження є актуальною і тому виникає необхідність пошуку та розробки нових методів і засобів для розвитку фізичних якостей, що сприятиме підвищенню рівня фізичної підготовленості юних гімнастів, починаючи з початкового етапу навчання.

Анотація. Повномасштабна війна в Україні чинить значний психологічний та фізичний вплив на учасників бойових дій. Одним із негативних наслідків війни є бойовий стрес, який супроводжується дією стрес-факторів, що негативно впливають на психологічне та фізичне здоров’я, що в подальшому знижує процес соціалізації до мирного життя. Мета. Визначення впливу занять бігом на учасників бойових дій, які мають наслідки бойового стресу. Методи. Аналіз, синтез, узагальнення наукової літератури та документальних джерел, порівняння та зіставлення; опитування, експеримент, методи математичної статистики. Результати. Виходячи з даних, отриманих після дослідження за «Модифікованою методикою рівня стресу за Л. Рідера», встановлено, що на початковому етапі у 77 % учасників був високий рівень стресу, а в 13 % – середній. На другому етапі після використання адаптивної фізичної культури (протягом одного року) у них було знижено рівень стресу до 50 % – середній, 50 % – низького, що свідчить про ефективність використання занять бігом.

Ключові слова: бойовий стрес, адаптивна фізична культура, учасники бойових дій, рівень стресу, біг.
Особливості використання інноваційних здоров’язберігаючих технологій у процесі фізичного виховання здобувачів вищої освіти
Authors: Мороз Олена , Мороз Віктор , Духнова Лариса
Published: February 2023

Анотація. Розглянуто проблему необхідності застосування нетрадиційних форм проведення навчальних занять з фізичного виховання, прийомів, методів, методик, які сприяють підвищенню рівня пізнавальної активності студентів в умовах сучасного закладу вищої освіти. Упровадження здоров’язберігаючих технологій в освітньому просторі вищої школи є нагальною потребою та вимогою сучасних реалій. Мета. Простежити особливості використання інноваційних здоров’язберігаючих технологій у процесі фізичного виховання здобувачів вищої освіти. Методи. Аналіз та узагальнення наукових, навчально-методичних видань, синтез, систематизація. Результати. Здоров’язбереження потрактовано авторами як вплив сукупності суспільно-політичних, соціально-економічних, техніко-юридичних, санітарно-гігієнічних, протиепідемічних чинників на раціональне використання потенціалу здоров’я особи. З’ясовано, що особливого змісту воно набуває в освітній діяльності, оскільки в закладах освіти всіх ланок використовують здоров’язберігаючі технології. Зроблено висновок, що ці інноваційні технології в контексті дослідження становлять цілісну систему методів, прийомів, форм роботи зі студентами, які передбачають популяризацію здорового способу життя, формування культури здоров’язбереження з урахуванням необхідності оновлення змісту, методів, форм навчання і виховання, модернізації освітнього процесу завдяки використанню активних, інтерактивних методик, групових форм роботи й активізації пізнавальної діяльності. У медичному аспекті здоров’язберігаючі технології розглядаються з точки зору збереження здоров’я та його відновлення у результаті побудови послідовності факторів, що запобігають руйнуванню здоров’я при одночасному створенні системи сприятливих для здоров’я умов. Основними складовими здоров’язберігаючих технологій науковці виокремлюють медико-гігієнічні (дотримання режиму дня, режимів рухової активності, харчування і сну;), фізкультурно-оздоровчі (розвиток фізичних якостей, загартування) та лікувально-оздоровчі (забезпечення відновлення фізичного здоров’я). У статті запропоновано такий альтернативний критерій їх класифікації: профілактично-захисні (стосуються особистої гігієни та гігієни навчання); компенсаторно-нейтралізуючі (масаж, психогімнастика, пальчикова, дихальна, оздоровча, коригуюча гімнастики, фізкультхвилинки); стимулюючі (загартування, фізичні навантаження, прийоми психотерапії та фітотерапії); інформаційно-навчальні (листування, інформування).

Анотація. Представлено результати дослідження наявного рівня емпатії та його складових (раціонального компонента емпатії, емоційної чуйності, інтуїтивних здібностей, настанов, що сприяють чи перешкоджають емпатії, проникаючих здібностей (легкості налагодження комунікативних зв’язків) та ідентифікаційних здібностей, тобто здібностей до наслідування) у тренерів, які працюють зі спортсменами в черліденгу. Мета. Визначення рівня прояву емпатії у тренерів з черліденгу. Методи. Теоретичний аналіз і узагальнення літературних джерел та даних мережі Інтернет; спостереження, анкетування, бесіда; метод експертних оцінок; діагностика рівня емпатії; методи непараметричної статистики. Результати. За загальним (сумарним) показником емпатії переважну більшість тренерів з черліденгу (n = 18) було віднесено в групу зі зниженим рівнем емпатії, що загалом є характерним для тренерів деяких інших командних видів спорту. За результатами проведеного дослідження виявлено такі особливості окремих тенденцій у структурі емпатії випробуваних: найменшу кількість балів у тренерів виявлено за шкалами «Раціональний компонент емпатії», «Ідентифікаційні здібності (здібності до наслідування)» та «Інтуїція». Дані проведеного дослідження свідчать, що переважна більшість тренерів, які брали участь у дослідженні, характеризується зниженим рівнем емпатії. Найбільш вираженими складовими емпатії, згідно з отриманими результатами, виявилися такі компоненти особистості тренерів, як проникаючі здібності (легкість налагодження комунікативних зв’язків), емоційна чуйність і настанови, що сприяють чи перешкоджають емпатії.

Ключові слова: емпатія в спорті, тренери, черліденг.
