Background: Hymenoptera venom allergy is an immunoglobulin (Ig) E mediated hypersensitivity reaction to Hymenoptera venoms. Obvious identification of the culprit insect that causes the clinical symptoms and, hence, the accurate selection of venom for curative treatment, is
of great importance for the effectiveness and safety of venom immunotherapy. Objective: In this study, the contribution of component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) is evaluated in the diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy. Method: Ninety-three patients
from four different centers in Turkey were included in the study. Conventional tests, including prick and intradermal skin tests, with commercial venom extracts and serum specific IgE (sIgE) levels for whole venoms were performed. An sIgE analysis for venom allergen components, including rApi
m 1, rApi m 2, rApi m 10, rVes v 1, rVes v 5, were evaluated by immunoblotting. Results: In conventional test results, 17 of 35 patients with bee venom allergy were positive to honey bee venom, whereas 18 patients were positive to bee and wasp venoms. In 28 of 35 patients
with bee venom allergy, the diagnosis was confirmed with CRD. CRD revealed a sensitivity of 80% in patients with bee venom allergy. According to conventional tests, 7 of 24 patients with vespid venom allergy demonstrated sensitivity only to Vespula species, whereas 17 patients revealed
double positivity. The total diagnostic sensitivity of Ves v 1 and Ves v 5 was calculated as 87.5%. Ten of 23 patients with a history of hypersensitivity to both venoms showed double sensitivity with CRD; one patient had cross-reactivity, one patient was found to be sensitive only to bee venom,
and, eight patients were sensitive only to Vespula species. Eleven patients had an uncertain history in terms of the culprit insect type and six of them had double sensitivity in CRD. Conclusion: CRD seemed to be more helpful in diagnosing vespid venom allergy than
bee venom allergy. It can also discriminate clinically significant sensitizations from irrelevant ones.

Background: The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related mental health status on chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) has not been addressed before. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the depression, anxiety and stress levels,
and the fear of COVID-19 in patients with mild-to-moderate CSU and to determine their impact on urticaria activity during the pandemic. Methods: A total of 509 patients with mild-to-moderate CSU were prospectively evaluated with validated scales, the Depression Anxiety
Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) during the lockdown period (LP) and the return to normal period (RTNP). CSU activity was determined with the urticaria activity score summed over 7 days (UAS7) and medication scores (MS). UAS7 and MS before the pandemic were
retrospectively collected from medical records. Results: The median UAS7 and MS were both significantly higher in the LP than in the median of related scores during the prepandemic period (p < 0.0001) and the RTNP (p < 0.0001). The mean FCV-19S and DASS-21 scores
were both significantly higher in the LP than in the RTNP (p < 0.0001). The FCV-19S and the DASS-21 anxiety and stress subscales were significantly higher in women. The UAS7s were positively correlated with the FCV-19S and depression, anxiety, and stress subscale scores. Conclusion:
Fear of COVID-19, anxiety, depression, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially when strict isolation measures are taken, have a significant impact on mental health and urticaria activity in patients with mild-to-moderate CSU, even though they are not infected. Psychological
support for patients with CSU seems to be important to control disease activity during the pandemic.

Published: June 2021

Background: Oral food challenges (OFC) in food protein‐induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) are performed to confirm a diagnosis, test for development of tolerance, and find safe alternatives. Objective: We aimed to define OFC outcomes and identify
safer test strategies. Methods: OFCs performed in children with FPIES over a 5-year period were reviewed. Results: A total of 160 OFCs were performed in 59 children (median age, 2.3 years). The most commonly tested foods were hen's egg, fish, and cow's
milk. Sixty-six OFC results (41.3%) were positive. Twelve (18.2%) reactions were mild, 18 (27.3%) were moderate, and 36 (54.5%) were severe. Intravenous fluid, ondansetron, and corticosteroids were administered in 83.3, 72.7, and 66.7% of the patients, respectively; one patient required hospitalization.
A reaction was most likely with fish (odds ratio [OR] 2.878 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.279‐6.473]; p = 0.011), and least likely with cow's milk (OR 0.268 [95% CI, 0.082‐0.872]; p = 0.029). Of the 36 OFCs with egg yolk, 23 patients had a failed OFC, and of
the 17 OFCs with egg white (all tolerant to egg yolk), only 2 patients had a failed result. Interestingly, two patients tolerated baked whole egg but not egg yolk. In cow's milk FPIES, two patients could consume fermented milk but not fresh milk. Of the 11 patients with anchovy-triggered FPIES,
6 tolerated sea bass, and 5 tolerated trout, whereas 4 patients with sea bass FPIES tolerated trout. Conclusion: The search for alternative food species, processing, or subdivision of a trigger food is common practice in FPIES, which reflects the expectations of children
and their families. The experience gained can be put into practice and will contribute to the understanding of the disease mechanism.
Hiding in Plain Sight

The incidence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Australia is rising. Women experiencing IPV seek assistance through Emergency Departments (ED). Women exhibit help-seeking behaviours to nurses who work in emergency over medical or allied health professionals. Nurses’ capacity to recognise the need to care for women experiencing IPV is essential.
The aim of this study was to explore nurses’ capacity to care for women who have experienced IPV through outlining inhibiting factors that limit care and create a discourse that contributes to addressing these factors. Pre (n=10) and post (n=6) focus groups (FGs) were undertaken with nurses who work in ED. In between the FGs an intervention was applied to prompt change to caring practices. The discourse generated from the FGs was subjected to a Foucauldian discourse analysis from a poststructural feminist perspective. Participants’ capacity to care was found to be based on the values they formed on IPV, as shaped by their post-registration training. The formation of boundaries was fundamental in inhibiting the participants’ capacity to care. Challenging boundaries through educational inquiry into nursing values can be effective in shifting perspectives of IPV. The raising of awareness of IPV in our communities serves as a vital tool in eliciting cultural behaviour change within EDs and within nursing culture.
Commitment to Positive Change: Structural Anti-racism Audit of Nursing Education Programs

Published: June 2021

Amidst many opportunities to create positive change and examine systemic anti-racist decolonial practices (Moorley et al., 2020), we are advocating for concrete action at the root of Nursing education programs by way of a structural anti-racism audit. Based on decolonial and antiracist theory (Garneau et al, 2018; Gaudry & Lorenz, 2018; Kendi, 2019; McGibbon & Etowa, 2009), we propose to engage in systems-level action (McGowan et al, 2020; Mulgan, 2006; van Wijk t al., 2018) and examine institutional structures through an anti-racist framework (Sutton, 2002) based on audit processes for equity, diversity, and inclusion (Chun & Evans, 2019; Olson, 2020; Skrla et al., 2004; Skrla et al., 2009; Zion, et al., 2020). Structures within and influencing curriculum, pedagogy, evaluation will be examined to advance systems-level anti-racist practices and policies (Moorley et al., 2020) with Nursing students, faculty, staff, leadership as a foundation for equitable Nursing education and care (National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health, 2014). This anti-racist approach to Nursing education reform promises to address the pernicious harms of discrimination in the healthcare system, as noted in a recent report on Indigenous-specific racism (Turpel-Lafonde, 2020). We aim to conduct a strengths-based structural anti-racism audit that does not lose sight of disparities (Fogarty et al., 2018). We are currently conducting a literature review and audit framework development and will pilot the structural anti-racism audit in fall 2021. Rather than requesting endorsement of our project, and with respect for diverse approaches, we asked Nursing colleagues to sign this letter to demonstrate shared commitment to critically examine racist challenges and anti-racist opportunities in their Nursing program at a structural level (see this survey: https://forms.gle/tZPN2z1kUoARNPp1A
Karstification Problems in the Haditha Dam, West Iraq

Published: June 2021

Haditha Dam is constructed on the Euphrates River in the western part of Iraq completed in 1988 and located 14 km west of Haditha town. Haditha Dam is a combined earthfill and concrete dam with a total length of 9064 m. The maximum height of the dam is 57 m from the deepest point at the river channel and dam crest level is 154.00 m (a.s.l.). The storage capacity is 6×109 m3 at normal operation water level of 143 m (a.s.l.). The exposed formations in the dam site and reservoir area are the Euphrates (Lower Miocene) and Fatha (Middle Miocene) formations. Both formations are well known in Iraq to be karstified at different intensities. The right bank of the Euphrates River is severely karstified with tens of sinkholes of different shapes, dimensions and activities. The presence of the karstified rocks is the main reason the dam has a very long grout curtain which extends along its entire length and includes the concrete powerhouse and spillway structure in the river channel, and the right and left bank extensions. The right bank extension of the grout curtain is exceptionally long due to the extent of the sinkhole area. Grouting was performed here in boreholes drilled at one-meter spacing to reduce water penetration and movement through the flank of the dam. The grout curtain under the embankment in the river section was done in two rows, while under the concrete structure it is comprised of three rows of holes. The left bank extension has two rows. The depths of all parts of the curtain varied following the karstification zones and intensities. The main aim of the current study is to elucidate and discuss the influence of the karstified rocks at the dam site and reservoir on the design and especially the length of the dam and the need for side extensions.

Covid-19 has resulted in a global health and socioeconomic crisis that is still unprecedented in history. Since Indonesia confirmed its first Covid-19 case, UNICEF has led several pandemic response efforts in collaboration with the government, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other partners. This research discussed the process of handling the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The theory used in this research was the Spiral of Silence theory, while the method used van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis. The object of research was articles on Kompas.com published from August to December 2020. We concluded that the government provides too much security through nonverbal languages, such as not providing examples of the health protocol implementation that should have been implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, there is still a sense of security generated in the absence of compliance with policies and sanctions that should have been implemented. As a result, the public has become oblivious to the applicable regulations and believes that the pandemic is not a major issue. As a result, this condition has worsened the Covid-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia.

Breeding practice shows that soybean cultivars developed by synthetic breeding methods are submitted for the state variety testing in the F10–F11 generation. But the newly bred cultivars are not completely homozygous. The studies were related to the determination of the frequencies of formation of atypical and suitable for selection promising individuals in soybean cultivars developed by synthetic breeding methods. The studies were carried out in 2019–2020 at the central experimental base of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, Krasnodar. In the experiments, we used cultivars of our own breeding: Selena, Puma, Vita, Irbis, Bars, Barguzin and Sayana with a total age of 11–15 years from the year F1 hybrids were obtained. To confirm the practical possibility of isolating individuals differing from the phenotypic varietal norm in varietal populations, a complete examination of the crops of all studied soybean cultivars was carried out. In the fields of all cultivars, individuals were identified that differed from the varietal norm phenotypically. Mostly, the isolated individuals were distinguished by an increased plant height, a more powerful habit, an increased number of beans per plant, and resistance to lodging. The facts of the detection of atypical individuals with improved morphological traits in soybean cultivars of different ages confirm the possibility of individual selection of plants in varietal populations based on morphometric traits. The statistical dynamics of a decrease in heterozygous individuals in increasing generations in a hybrid self-pollinating population in terms of the number of paired genes, by which the parental forms can hypothetically differ, were calculated using the modified formula of S. Borojević (1984). It was found that the frequency of formation of phenotypically different individuals in varietal populations of soybeans depends on the total age of the cultivar. The frequency of the formation of morphologically different individuals decreases with an increase in the number of generations of the cultivar. Individual selection of individuals with positive phenotypic differences from the varietal norm can be recommended as an additional source of promising and practically homozygous starting material for accelerated analytical breeding of soybean.

Spectroscopy of near infrared reflection (NIRS) was used for estimation of biochemical indicators in seeds of false flax. The purpose of our work was to develop calibrating models for IR-analyzer MATRIXI for determination of weight percentage of oil, linolenic and erucic acids contents in oil of seeds in unbroken seeds of false flax (winter and spring forms). The researches were conducted in the biochemistry laboratory on false flax samples cultivated in 2016–2020 in the different environments of the Russian Federation. Oil content was determined with NMR-analyzer АМV 1006М according to the technique described in the State Standard 8.597-2010, percentage contents of linolenic and erucic acids in oil was estimated on the gas chromatograph “Chromatech – Kristal 5000” with an automatic dipper on a capillary column SolGelWax 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.5 µcm. The best indicators of quality of the calibrating models (root mean square error of prediction, coefficient of determination, and meaning of a residual deflection of prediction for a rank reflected on a figure) were obtained by oil content (RMSEP = 0.20%, R 2 = 99.3, and RPD = 12.3), linolenic acid content (RMSEP = 0.35%, R 2 = 98.8, and RPD = 9.2) and erucic acid content (RMSEP = 0.14%, R 2 = 85.7, and RPD = 2.6). In a program OPUS LAB, we received a method “False flax 51” based on the developed calibrating models for a routine analysis for determination of oil content, linolenic and erucic acids contents in oil in the unbroken seeds of false flax in an average (9–20 g) in a cuvette with diameter of 51 mm. this method allows conducting express-estimation of false flax seeds for breeding traits with performance of more than 100 sample per seven hours.

Potential yield of the modern oil flax varieties is up to 2.5–3.0 t/ha, but in fact, in 2020, its average yield was equal to 0.81 t/ha in the Russian Federation and 0.86 t/ha тin the Southern federal district. One of the reasons of such low productivity of the crop is non-effective protection of sowings against weeds. We studied impact of tank mixtures of herbicides Tifi, WDG (0.025 kg/ha) + Miura, CE (1.2 l/hа); Magnum, WDG (0.01 kg/hа) + Miura, CE (1.2 l/hа); Sekator Turbo, OD (0.1 l/hа) + Miura, CE (1.2 l/hа) and Sekator Turbo, OD (0.1 l/hа) + Quickstep, OCE (0.8 l/hа) on oil flax productivity (the variety FLIZ bred at the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops). The researches were conducted in a zone of unstable moistening on leach black soil of the Western Ciscaucasia in 2017–2020. Recommended doses of tank mixtures of the herbicides were applied in a phase of 5-6 pairs of leaves development of oil flax plants. In spite of the good water availability in years of the research, high air temperatures during flowering – seeds formation negatively influenced the crop productivity. Due to our results, on average for four years, treatment of oil flax plants with a tank mixture of the herbicides Sekator Turbo, OD (0.1 l/hа) + Quickstep, OCE (0.8 l/hа) allowed obtaining the highest yield – 1.17 t/hа, oil content in seeds – 45.5% and oil yield – 0.47 t/hа; there was fixed the high clear profit – 13,861 RUR/hа at profitability of 51%.

Safflower production is actual in climatic conditions of the Western Kazakhstan, which is characterized with high heat supply and long vegetative period. In recent years, safflower crops in the Western Kazakhstan region did not exceed 29,000 ha and seed yield was quite low – 0.3–0.5 t per ha. Studying of biologized technologies of safflower cultivation is very important for crop productivity increase and sowing areas expanse. Next to the introduction of the highly productive varieties, perfection of agricultural techniques, especially application of biologic preparations, is a significant reserve of safflower yield increase in a system of organic farming. The purpose of the research was to study and estimate biologized technology of safflower cultivation in the Western Kazakhstan to supply producers with qualitative oil materials in a system of diversified plant growing. The researches were conducted in 2019–2020; we studied features of crop growth, development, productivity and seed quality when cultivating safflower with biologized technology in conditions of the first dry steppe zone of the Western Kazakhstan region. Due to results of comparative studying, seed yield and oil content in seeds of safflower were higher: 0.764 t per ha and 30.0%, respectively, when using biologized technology. The highest oil yield (0.229 t per ha) was received at joint application of a biopreparation Biodux, a biofungicide Orgamica S and a biofertilizers Organit N, Organit P (biologized technology) for seed disinfection and plants treatment during safflower vegetation, that was by 0.057 t per ha, or by 33.1%, higher than at traditional cultivation technology.

Published: June 2021

A 62-year-old Nigerian woman was admitted on account of cervical carcinoma Stage IV and was requested to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Six weeks after commencing this treatment she starting passing feces involuntarily through the vagina. Imaging studies revealed a high sited, medium sized, and rectovaginal fistula (RVF). RVFs have been documented as a late complication of radiotherapy for any gynecological malignancy but it occurred earlier in this patient. A preliminary surgical procedure, a sigmoid-ostomy, was performed successfully and a definitive surgery, a sigmoido-rectal anastomosis, was planned to be done in 18 months after the diagnosis of the RVF but the patient died shortly after the first procedure. The present case indicates that a RVF can occur as an early complication of radiotherapy even when it presents with mild symptoms.

Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma in technically challenging locations: Tracking through the opposite cortex
Authors: Krishna Loveneesh G. , Rustagi Ashish , Kumar Nishith , Kumar Vinay , Singh Dharmendra Kumar
Published: June 2021

Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an established minimally invasive treatment option of osteoid osteoma. The standard technique involves the percutaneous advancement of an RF probe under CT-guidance through the cortex overlying the nidus of osteoid osteoma in a plane oriented perpendicular to the cortex. In certain specific scenarios, aiming the osteoid osteoma nidus through the overlying cortex is not feasible either due to technical limitations or due to the potential risk of complications. The nidus can be approached through the opposite unaffected cortex in these situations, obviating the need for surgical excision. Performing CT-guided RF ablation of osteoid osteoma through the opposite unaffected cortex is a technically demanding procedure; and, thus requires a high level of expertise. There is a paucity of literature highlighting the RF ablation procedure in technically challenging locations and thus forms the cornerstone of our current technical note.

Land-Sea Interactions: Contributions of the Brazilian Coastal Management Program to Marine Saptial Planning
Authors: Scherer Marinez , Nicolodi João L.
Published: June 2021

The interaction between continental and oceanic areas has long been discussed in the scientific literature. In this sense, water flows, receiving basins, and oceans are interconnected, just as problems and solutions are as well. The interaction between land and sea leads to a management challenge, as public policies, programs and/or projects often tend to act exclusively on land or in the ocean. In Brazil, the Coastal Management Program (GERCO) has been implemented since 1988, with specific legislation and a set of defined strategies and instruments. More recently, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has started to be discussed in the country. MSP, in many cases, tends to be more focused on marine areas, disregarding this land-sea interaction. This paper aims to identify opportunities to integrate the already consolidated basis of GERCO into MSP, highlighting the potential for integration between management instruments and their respective tools. Coastal Management instruments and strategies in Brazil were analyzed, considering the potential for overlap with the MSP. A codebook was organized taking into account keywords related to MSP, adapting the methodology to a qualitative analysis, in which these keywords were located in the instruments and strategies in question. The results allow us to infer that GERCO’s strategies and instruments have the potential to contribute to the development of the MSP in Brazil in its diagnostic; prognostic; implementation, monitoring and evaluation phases. There are opportunities for integration in all the instruments analyzed, considering their peculiarities in terms of purpose, method and scale. Considering that the MSP is a territorial planning instrument, although with the peculiarities of being focused on the ocean, one can infer that its elaboration and implementation can be catalyzed by the use of the experience and knowledge already acquired over more than 30 years of coastal management in Brazil.

Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Cárdenas del Río Yamilé , Vásquez Reyes Katia ,   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú
Published: June 2021

El desarrollo de las fintech a nivel mundial es inminente. Sin embargo, el Perú aún no cuenta con una regulación que promueva su ingreso y dinamice el sector. El dictamen que regula el financiamiento participativo todavía se encuentra pendiente de aprobación en el Congreso y, de aprobarse, los mayores retos los tendrá la Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV). Una mayor inclusión financiera con impactos positivos en la economía todavía parece lejana, pero se está iniciando.

Contribución al estudio de la buena fe en el Derecho Privado: a propósito de la renegociación y el incumplimiento de los deberes secundarios de conducta
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Vásquez Laguna Javier
Published: June 2021

El presente ensayo aborda el estudio del principio de la buena fe, de los deberes secundarios de conducta y los efectos de su incumplimiento. Para ello, se aborda el estudio de la buena fe en su doble dimensión subjetiva y objetiva, como límite de la autonomía privada, así como en su rol de criterio de interpretación y orientador de conductas. A partir de los aspectos antes señalados, se desarrollan los efectos del incumplimiento de los deberes secundarios de conductas y se postula la posibilidad de activar un mecanismo resolutorio por infracción al deber de renegociación.

identidad de territorio y frontera como turismo cultural
Authors: Miguel Esteban  Valenzuela Robles
Published: July 2021

El presente ensayo describe una perspectiva sobre las posibilidades de desarrollar una estrategia de turismo cultural para la ciudad de Mexicali, en el estado fronterizo de Baja California, México; un territorio colindante con el Sur de California. Esta postulación se deriva de la coyuntura fronteriza que esta ciudad tiene con los Estados Unidos, y que le ha configurado sus relaciones sociales y económicas a lo largo de su historia. Se pretende esbozar la idea de que un adecuado desarrollo de identidad local puede ser el detonante para configurar la estrategia en cuestión; toda vez que dicha ciudad ha sido terminal de flujos migrantes que, procedentes del interior de México, principalmente, han adoptado por asiento esta ciudad. Los actuales cambios económicos abren la posibilidad para que el turismo cultural sea una opción de desarrollo para esta ciudad.
Sou consumidor

Published: July 2021

O presente artigo pretende demonstrar como as pessoas com deficiência visual enfrentam diversas dificuldades para exercer o seu papel enquanto consumidores, em um sistema que parece desprezar o seu potencial de consumo. A análise da situação é feita sob a luz da Lei Federal 13.146/2015, e das Leis Distritais 3.634/2005 e 4.317/2009. O seu objetivo é analisar a importância da percepção das pessoas cegas quanto ao ambiente de consumo e sobre a qualidade do atendimento oferecido nos restaurantes do shopping Conjunto Nacional, em Brasília. A investigação é de natureza qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas com consumidores cegos seguida da análise de discurso. Os resultados mostram a insatisfação dos consumidores com deficiência visual com a falta de preparo dos atendentes e a inadequação dos estabelecimentos.
Modus Operandi in the Investigation of Crimes
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Fomina I.A.
Published: June 2021

The article studies such a concept as modus operandi in the practice of crime investigation as a unique and integral behavior for the criminal. It is determined by the modus operandi through a correlation with personal landmarks, mental and physical state, level of intelligence and other individual characteristics of the criminal’s personality. The use of this concept along with the method of committing a crime is justified. The issues of modernization and improvement of the modus operandi as a necessary given of the development of criminal activity of each individual are discussed. The autograph is considered as an additional characteristic element of the modus operandi, which allows you to see the “criminal message” that characterizes the personal qualities of the criminal. The author substantiates the need to pay attention to repetitive, albeit modernized, details in the sequence and the actions of the criminal themselves, since in similar situations the behavior is stereotypical. Having worked out the ideal modus operandi for himself, which leads to the satisfaction of needs, the criminal is afraid of its rejection, as this may lead to capture. Accordingly, the study of modus operandi helps in identifying the perpetrator, combining crimes into a series through the characteristics of personal stability and predictability. This makes it possible to solve not only the crimes committed, but also to prevent the criminal acts that are being prepared.
The Main Problems of Digitalization of Formal Sources of Law
Authors:   Named after S. P. Korolyov Samara National Research University, Spirin M.Y.
Published: June 2021

The status of formal sources of law is considered from the point of view of their definition and the possibility of creating a list of these sources, enshrined at the legislative level. The problem is posed of the need for the existence of an official list of formal sources of law in the national legal system. The phenomenon of digitalization of social life and legal means necessary for its effective regulation is investigated. The main trends in the digitalization of the legal system of society are determined on the basis of the digitalization of the system of formal sources of law, the necessary conclusions are drawn about the nature of this process, its direction, as well as about those positive and negative aspects that are associated with it. Particular attention is paid to the problem of compliance of “reference” texts of normative legal acts and other formal sources of law, enshrined in the official means of the content of legal information, and “digital” shells of these regulatory prescriptions that function within the framework of commercial legal reference systems. Based on the analysis performed, the main problems of modern digitalization of formal sources of law are determined. The issue of self-reproduction of law is touched upon, attention is drawn to the ethical problem of creating law to regulate social relations using digital technologies. Conclusions are made about the dual, objective and subjective nature of digitalization of formal sources of law and the role of the collective human mind in the creation and implementation of law.
Institute of Defense at the Present Stage of Development of Criminal Justice in Russia
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Smirnov V.A. , Peryakina M.P. ,   The Branch of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economic
Published: June 2021

The article examines some procedural issues of the participation of the defender in the criminal proceedings, the problems of compliance with the principle of adversarial parties at all stages of criminal proceedings. A clear discrepancy between the rights of the parties to the prosecution and the defense at the pretrial stages of the criminal process was established. Since all key decisions on the movement of a criminal case (suspension of a criminal case, bringing a person as an accused, termination of a criminal case, issuing an indictment, an indictment or an indictment, etc.) are made by the investigator, the inquirer, who belong to the prosecution, and the defense lawyer can practically have no influence on these decisions. In addition, in Russian criminal proceedings, the defender still does not have the right to collect evidence along with the investigator, the inquirer. In addition, the authors of the article consider the actual issue of providing legal assistance to persons who do not have the financial capacity to pay for a lawyer. The article notes that the intervention of the competent authorities in the case of inadequate assistance of the defender is required only when the free-appointed defender has shown a clear inability to provide effective assistance. Special attention is paid to such a concept as “attorney-client privilege”. It has been determined that advocate secrecy in criminal proceedings is absolute, which is currently unacceptable for Russian reality. It is proposed to introduce certain amendments to the current legislation of Russia, which will help to increase guarantees for the implementation of the institution of protection in criminal proceedings.
Digital Predistortion of Wideband Signals with Reduced Complexity Based on Feedback Wiener System
Authors: Bouazza Tayeb H. C. , Bachir Smail , Duvanaud Claude
Published: June 2021

Digital predistortion (DPD) using baseband signals is commonly used for power amplifier linearization. This paper is devoted to this subject and aims to reduce DPD complexity. In this study, we propose a structure that allows to decrease the number of DPD parameters by using multiple blocks, with each one of them dedicated to characterizing the non-linear behavior and/or memory effects. Such a structure is based on the feedback Wiener system, involving a FIR filter used as a feedback path to reproduce the PA inverse dynamics. A memory polynomial block (MP) is inserted as the final element to minimize the modeling errors. A relevant model identification method, based on an iterative algorithm, has been developed as well. The proposed architecture is used for the linearization of a commercial class-AB LDMOS RF PA by NXP Semiconductors, in wideband communication systems. Comparison of performance with the conventional generalized memory polynomial model (GMP) shows that the proposed model offers similar results, with its advantage consisting in the reduced number of parameters.
Security Verification in the Context of 5G Sensor Networks
Authors: Remlein Piotr , Stachowiak Urszula
Published: June 2021

In order to develop reliable safety standards for 5G sensor networks (SN) and the Internet of Things, appropriate verification tools are needed, including those offering the ability to perform automated symbolic analysis process. The Tamarin prover is one of such software-based solutions. It allows to formally prove security protocols. This paper shows the modus operandi of the tool in question. Its application has been illustrated using an example of an exchange of messages between two agents, with asynchronous encryption. The scheme may be implemented, for instance, in the TLS/DTLS protocol to create a secure cryptographic key exchange mechanism. The aim of the publication is to demonstrate that automated symbolic analysis may be relied upon to model 5G sensor networks security protocols. Also, a use case in which the process of modeling the DTLS 1.2 handshake protocol enriched with the TCP SYN Cookies mechanism, used to preventing DoS attacks, is presented
