Unexpected discoveries in comparative legal studies of criminal proceedings
Authors:   Ufa University of Science and Technology, Tarasov Alexander A.
Published: April 2024

Comparative legal studies have always been a significant part of scientific research of the problems of criminal procedure.At present, comparative studiesof criminal procedure have become more demanded because of the need of constant international exchange of legislative and law enforcement experience. In this regard, the requirements for the quality of these studies are becoming higher.Currently, in scientific researches are usually used legislative sources only in the original language.During the comparative analysis not only the provisions of normative legal acts in their general legal meaning are compared, but also specific original terms in accordance with the context.A comprehensive legal and linguistic analysis of legislative provisions used in different national legal systems allows us to identify new meanings in the compared laws, assess the effectiveness of legal regulation of similar public relations in different states, consciously adopt or refuse foreign legislative experience.The author analyzes the published comparative studieson the problems of choosing preventive measures in the criminal process of the Swiss Confederation, the witness immunity ofprofessional secrecy keeper and the reform of theadvocacy in the Federal Republic of Germany. Based on the results of the analysis, the author claims that an accurate translation of specific legislative terms used in these states allows us to more fully reveal the meaning of regulatory legal prescriptions and to avoid attempts to fit the legal concepts familiar to Russian and Russian-speaking lawyers into a foreign regulatory scope.In this context, the problems of the theory and practice of the Russian criminal process concerning detention in pre-trial and judicialcriminal proceedings, witness immunity of alawyer, the role of a lawyer in the administration of justice are considered.
Perjury: problems of criminal law regulation of subjective signs, complicity and punishment established for a crime
Authors:   Vyatka State University, Mosechkin Ilya N. , Krukovskiy Vladimir E. ,   Vyatka State University
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the study of directions for improving the norm governing criminal liability for perjury. The relevance of the research topic is due to the stability of the indicators of these acts, as well as the importance and diversity of social relations that suffer from their commission. The authors analyzed 230 court verdicts issued in connection with the commission of an act under Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The results of the analysis were compared with the opinions of scientists and foreign experience of legal counteraction to perjury. The study of sentences made it possible to identify the most common motives for the crime, including selfish motives. The article substantiates the expediency of including this feature in Part 2 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, since it increases the social danger of a crime. In addition, the analysis of sentences made it possible to identify 42 episodes (18.2%) in which false testimony or conclusions of participants in the process indirectly testified to the presence of collusion. Since many facts of perjury that reinforce each other reduce the likelihood of their detection and increase the likelihood of making an erroneous decision, it is proposed to consolidate the forms of complicity in Part 2 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as qualifying signs. The authors also provide a justification for the fact that the sanctions established for giving false testimony do not contribute to the effective protection of protected relations. The main drawback is the lack of consistency with other norms. The article proposes to arrange among themselves the sanctions provided for the commission of related crimes. The wording of the relevant article has been formulated, which can be used as a recommendation for improving legislation.
On the problems of legal regulation of criminal procedural legal relations functioning at the initial stage of execution and serving of criminal sentences and their impact on criminal executive legal relations
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Novikov Egor Е.
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the problems and features of the legal regulation of criminal procedural legal relations arising, changing or terminating at the initial stage of execution and serving of criminal sentences. The paper deals with the legal relations functioning within the boundaries determined by the moment when the court's conviction comes into legal force and the beginning of the actual execution of the criminal punishment (measure) by the authorized institution. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that for the normal development of criminal procedural legal relations and the timely emergence of general and specific criminal-executive legal ties at the initial stage of execution and serving of criminal sentences, it is necessary: - to solve problematic issues arising at the stage of the entry into force of the court's conviction and its appeal for execution. For example, it is proposed to fix in the Criminal Procedure Code the fact that only the person in respect of whom the conviction of the court has entered into legal force will be a convict, which will contribute to the elimination of problems related to the determination of the legal status of persons in respect of whom the accused the court verdict has not entered into legal force; - to make changes in terms of improving the legal status of convicts before they are sent from the pre-trial detention center to prison. For example, it is necessary to provide an opportunity for a convict to have a meeting not only with shy people, but also with other persons; - to exclude from the criminal procedural and criminal executive legislation duplicating norms that may differ in structure and create problems for the legislator. The conclusions are the result of a long study by the author of the norms of criminal procedural and criminal executive law, the practice of their use, as well as a survey of practitioners (365 prison officers were interviewed) who carry out criminal sentences.
Implicit administrative acts (Part two)
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Andreev Denis S.
Published: April 2024

Based on the comparative legal method, the article analyzes the use of the construction of implicit (fictitious) decisions in Russian and several European legal orders, when the inaction of the public administration is equated with the adoption of an administrative act. In the first part of article the author provides a brief overview of the evolution of the legal regulation of the silence of public administration in France, the Netherlands and Germany, and considers the influence of the Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (Services Directive) on the development of the institution of implicit decisions in the EU countries. The paper analyses the conceptual basis and the main arguments pro et contra of two models of implicit administrative acts – a negative decision (based on the principle of “silence is a sign of refusal”) and a positive decision (based on the principle of "silence is a sign of consent"). The analysis of legislation and judicial practice in the second part of article leads to the conclusion about the active use of the principle of "silence is a sign of consent" in regulating the activities of public administration in Russia. At the same time, the negative model of implicit administrative acts (silent refusal) has not been developed in the Russian legal system. However, the doctrine of implicit administrative acts in Russia remains largely underdeveloped, which negatively affects the effectiveness of public administration and judicial protection of the rights of private parties.

Published: April 2024

The article explores the concept, content and technology of constructing of a typical investigative characteristic of crimes as a scientific category. Literature review on the concept and content of the characteristic of crimes is conducted. The study summarizes and examines the sufficient empirical material obtained from criminal cases of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, as well as murders involving fire; records of police reports in the field of drug trafficking. It is proposed that, in order to minimize the risk of false results, the design of a future study should be planned by determining the type and scope of the empirical basis for constructing a typical investigative characteristic of a crime, applied to the stage of its commission. Distinctive features of the investigative characteristic are described. The basic elements of the standard search characteristics applied to various categories of crimes are identified. Correlation and information clusters are constructed using statistical methods, which, unlike the elements themselves, have stability and renewability. The nature of some such elements is presented, only for certain types and groups of crimes. The article presents the main stages of the technology for building a typical investigative characteristic of crimes with a reflection of their sequence. In the form of a two-dimensional matrix in tabular form, on the basis of a detailed analysis of the construction of a typical investigative characteristic, an investigative methodology for identifying, suppressing and solving crimes on the example of illegal sale of narcotic drugs and murders associated with fire is presented. The authors conclude that the investigative characteristic of crimes is designed to solve problems and achieve the goals of exclusively investigative activities, unlike related categories, which perform other scientific and practical tasks. Arguments are given, according to which the investigative characteristic of crimes cannot replace the other characteristics.
Development of criminal procedure law of Armenia out of the law (extra legem) and contrary to the law (contra legem)
Authors:   Russian-Armenian University, Ghambaryan Artur S.
Published: April 2024

The article discusses questions of the development of criminal procedure law contrary to the criminal procedure Code of the Republic of Armenia (Code) (contra legem) of theoretical and practical significance. In the first part of the article, the author presented the content of the concept of «law (Jus) interest», which is used in the Codes of 1998 and 2021. The author considers a value-based approach to the concept of «law (jus) interest» possible only in conditions of a broad law understanding. If any provision of the Code is clearly (blatantly) opposed to law principles expressing the essence of criminal procedure law, then the only addressee of the legislative requirement to be guided by the interest of law is institutionally and functionally independent of the executive branch court (1), which can act contrary to a specific provision of the Code, but in accordance with the principles of law (2). The second part of the article presents the views of the law of Russian processalists A.S. Alexandrov and L.V. Golovko, and also examines whether these scientists consider the development of procedural law permissible contrary to the Code or not. In the third part of the article, it is noted that the judges of the RA, as a rule, avoid directly mentioning in their judicial acts, according to which methodology they carried out the development of law: by an expansive interpretation, by means of extra legem or contra legem law development. The author briefly presents his approaches to the differentiation of law development institutions: spatial interpretation of the law, outside of the law (extra legem) and contrary to the law (contra legem). The article also discusses various examples of the development of criminal procedure law contrary to the Code by the Court of Cassation of the RA.
Deep learning for automated trash screen blockage detection using cameras: Actionable information for flood risk management
Authors: Vandaele Remy , Dance Sarah L. , Ojha Varun
Published: April 2024

Trash screens are used to prevent debris from entering critical parts of rivers. However, debris can accumulate on the screen and generate floods. This makes their monitoring critical both for maintenance and flood modeling purposes (e.g., local forecasts may change because the trash screen is blocked). We developed three novel deep learning methods for trash screen maintenance management consisting of automatically detecting trash screen blockage using cameras: a method based on image classification, a method based on image similarity matching, and a method based on anomaly detection. To facilitate their use by end users, these methods are designed so that they can be directly applied to any new trash screen camera installed by the end users. We have built a new dataset of labeled trash screen images to train and evaluate the efficiency of our methods, in terms of both accuracy and implications for end users. This dataset consists of 80,452 trash screen images from 54 cameras installed by the Environment Agency (UK). This work demonstrates that trash screen blockage detection can be automated using trash screen cameras and deep learning, which could have an impact on both trash screen management and flood modeling.

Hand hygiene (HH) is the most effective way to curb the spread of healthcare-associated infections. Nonetheless, healthcare personnel encounter difficulties in adhering to WHO HH recommendations. This study aimed to investigate HH compliance and adherence after the implementation of an action plan in a municipal hospital in Moscow. An initial evaluation of HH compliance among clinical health workers was carried out in June 2022 according to the WHO HH guidelines followed by a 3-month re-audit of HH practices. The results were compared to the baseline to evaluate compliance and adherence to HH among healthcare personnel. From June to September 2022, there were 2,732 moments of contact with patients or their immediate surroundings. The HH total compliance rate significantly (p < 0.05) increased from 52.3% in June 2022 to 83.3% in September 2022 with a 75% overall total compliance rate. The profession-specific total compliance rate was highest among nurses (79.6%) and lowest among ancillary staff (69.7%). Staff were also more adherent to the before-moments compared to the after-moments of the HH guidelines. Monthly re-audits and providing feedback resulted in a significant improvement in compliance and adherence with HH guidelines after implementation of the action plan.
Machine learning approaches for improving precipitation forecasting in the Ambica River basin of Navsari District, Gujarat
Authors: Baudhanwala Divyang , Mehta Darshan , Kumar Vijendra
Published: April 2024

The article examines machine learning models for precipitation forecasting in the Ambica River basin, addressing the important requirement for accurate hydrological forecasts in water resource management. Using a comprehensive collection of meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation, four separate models are used: Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). These models’ performance is rigorously evaluated using various assessment indicators. The cross-correlation function (XCF) is used in this study to evaluate the correlations between climatic variables and precipitation. The XCF analysis reveals several noteworthy trends, such as a high link between maximum temperature and precipitation, with maxima consistently found at months across all four sites. Furthermore, relative humidity and wind speed have significant connections with precipitation. The findings highlight the value of machine learning approaches in improving precipitation forecast accuracy. The RF and SVR models typically outperform, with values ranging from 0.74 to 0.91. This impressive accuracy underlines their effectiveness in precipitation forecasting, beating competing models in both the training and testing stages. These findings have significant consequences for hydrological processes, notably in the Ambica River basin, where accurate precipitation forecasting is critical for sustainable water resource management.

Published: April 2024

This study focuses on N'Djili River catchment, a vital water source in Kinshasa that undergoes anthropogenic pressure and land use changes. The lower course of the river is particularly affected by uncontrolled urbanization, informal settlements, improper waste management practices, and vegetation degradation. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between land use and river water quality in this catchment. Water samples were collected for physico-chemical and bacteriological analysis from 10 sampling sites along the river course. Land use categories were determined using Sentinel-2 land cover imageries and buffer scaling techniques. A redundancy analysis (RDA) was conducted to determine the relationship between land use categories and water quality variables. The laboratory analysis revealed physical, chemical, and biological pollution of the river waters. The RDA results showed that 70% of water quality parameters were explained by the studied land use categories. The urbanized area was the most significant explanatory variable at all buffer scales, negatively impacting water quality parameters. Conversely, trees and range lands had a positive impact on water quality. The study concludes that further research is needed to assess the extent of water pollution and develop integrated management strategies for minimizing pollution in this catchment.

Published: April 2024

The new version of NBR 15527 (ABNT 2019) determines that any methodology used for the design of rainwater reservoirs must be performed considering the demand for rainwater resources. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop mathematical models for the design of rainwater reservoirs in residential buildings for all Brazilian states. Different use scenarios were simulated, which included drinking water demands of 100, 150, 200 and 300 litres per capita and rainwater replacement for drinking water at rates of 25, 35, 45 and 55%, according to rainfall data from the last decade. The optimal and maximal volumes of each scenario were calculated using the yield after spill (YAS) behavioural method. Based on the values of the volumes obtained, the studied municipalities were grouped, and for each group, the practical models were adjusted and evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R²) and the root mean square error (RMSE). A good adherence of the models to the observed data was observed, which simplified the estimation of the volume for rainwater reservoirs; practical applications demand that designs use discreet daily rainfall values.
Recessão Democrática À Brasileira: a Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) entre 2019 e 2022
Authors: Ávila Rodrigo Fortes de
Published: April 2024

Based on the notion of democratic recession, this text institutes a discussion about the Access to Information Law (AIL) in Brazil between 2019 and 2022. The exploratory, qualitative and reflective nature of this text activates the understanding that the archival record instrumentalizes operational procedures, reconstituting the organic links of its context of emergence, making it viable as evidence of institutional activities. In this way, accountability is mobilized as essential to democracy, and information management can guide both transparency and accountability for illicit conduct. The dynamics of this corruption articulated: (a) the increase in denials of access to information and evasive responses; (b) the excessive use of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law to intensify “secrecy”; (c) the expansion of public agents who can attribute confidentiality to information without a previous consultation; (d) the difficulty of condemning illegal conduct; (e) the political co-optation of supervisory bodies, and; (f) the challenge of defining “public interest” to strengthen active transparency. These points demonstrate the need for permanent surveillance of the mechanisms for the right of access to information.

The development of digital platforms has not fully reached tourist villages optimally, apart from the fact that their management still contains conflicts of interest between stakeholders. This research examines the role of community empowerment, implementation of sustainable village development programs, and implementation of digital platforms on the management and mobilization of economic resources. The research type is quantitative and the population consists of 8.402 people in Sudaji tourist village, Buleleng-Bali. A total of 110 people were used as samples (village heads, pokdarwis, traditional kelian, and the community) with a random sampling technique using the Slovin formula. Data collection uses a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The results show that the community empowerment variable does not affect the mobilization of economic resources. In contrast, the sustainable development variable shows different results where it significantly positively impacts the mobilization of economic resources. Finally, the digital platform implementation variable does not affect the mobilization of economic resources. This research focuses on the interests of the community as stakeholders so that they can access economic resources optimally and have an impact so that they can empower them with their capacity to increase economic independence while meeting their basic needs so that they become resource literate with the digital world and sustainable villages can be realized.

Visual comfort is an important aspect of teaching and learning activities. This study used simulation with DIALux evo 9.1 at the Joint Lecture Building (GKB) State University of Malang. Data analysis uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Natural lighting simulation is carried out to get an idea of natural lighting and its effects. The results showed that the average intensity of room lighting was above the lighting standard. The highest intensity occurs at 12:00, while the lowest is at 16:00. The level of visual comfort due to natural lighting is not optimal. Very high lighting intensity results in glare effect on the transparent wall side of the room, while the inner side is below the room lighting standard. The influence of architectural and façade design that affects the optimization of natural lighting is: building orientation, the use of transparent walls full of CW (curtain wall) construction, minimizing the use of horizontal shading, by tending to use vertical shading-fins, and making transparent material selection.

In 2020, the National Disaster Management Agency stated that Malang City is one of the cities with low vulnerability to disasters. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the resilience capacity of communities in the North Malang Urban Area that are vulnerable to social and environmental changes. This study uses the Resilient Capacity Index method to measure the resilience capacity of the community by considering ecological, physical, economic, human, and social aspects. The results of the study, in the form of an overview of aspects of community resilience in the northern Malang City area, can be used to support the development of a more resilient city. By measuring resilience capacity using a standard score or z-score, it is known that the North Malang Urban Area has a moderate community resilience capacity.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: En Perú, la conservación de los cactus está amenazada principalmente por la expansión de áreas agrícolas, la minería, la construcción de carreteras, la expansión urbana y el aumento de la población, ocasionando la fragmentación y destrucción de los hábitats. Los ecosistemas perturbados se podrían restaurar mediante el uso de semillas y plántulas de cactáceas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la luz en la germinación de semillas de cactáceas peruanas.
Métodos: Las semillas de cactáceas fueron colectadas en los departamentos Ancash, Apurimac, Arequipa y Huánuco. El experimento se realizó en condiciones controladas mediante un diseño experimental completamente aleatorizado. La germinación de semillas de Austrocylindropuntia floccosa, Armatocereus mataranus subsp. ancashensis, Browningia candelaris, Corryocactus aureus, C. brevistylus subsp. brevistylus, Cumulopuntia ignescens, Espostoa lanata subsp. ruficeps, Haageocereus platinospinus, Lobivia maximiliana subsp. westii, Opuntia macbridei, Trichocereus cuzcoensis, T. santaensis, Tunilla soehrensii y Weberbauerocereus weberbaueri fue evaluada con tratamientos de luz y oscuridad, con cinco repeticiones por tratamiento, cada una. La germinación se realizó en una cámara de crecimiento a una temperatura mínima de 18 y máxima de 25 °C y un fotoperíodo de 12 horas luz /12 horas oscuridad. También se calculó la masa y el tiempo promedio de germinación de semillas y el índice de germinación relativa a la luz.
Resultados clave: De las 14 especies evaluadas, 12 germinaron con el tratamiento con luz, y dos germinaron en luz y en oscuridad.
Conclusiones: Las semillas con mayor masa fueron las de Austrocylindropuntia floccosa y la menor masa fue registrada en Espostoa lanata subsp. ruficeps. Armatocereus mataranus subsp. ancashensis germinó en 20.80 días, mientras que Weberbauerocereus weberbaueri lo hizo en 10 días. Doce especies son fotoblásticas positivas; en cambio, Armatocereus mataranus subsp. ancashensis y Austrocylindropuntia floccosa son fotoblásticas neutras.

Embung Tirtoagung is an artificial aquatic ecosystem as a supplier of agricultural land during the dry season and as a fishery facility in Sleman Regency. This study aims to determine the water quality in Tirtoagung Embung based on the diversity index and saprobic index. This research is an exploratory descriptive research by way of observation. The research was conducted in February – April 2021 during the rainy season. The sampling locations were at 5 stations selected by random sampling. The results of the study showed that the water quality in Tirtoagung Embung is included in the lightly polluted category. It is known from the calculation of the diversity index that is 2,391 so that the situation is in the moderate category and the Tirtoagung reservoir is in a lightly polluted condition. Then seen from the calculation of the saprobic index, which is 0.71 - 1.00 so that the condition of the waters of the Tirtoagung reservoir is in the - mesosaprobic phase with light pollution levels and few organic and inorganic compounds. In addition, the water quality of the Tirtoagung reservoir based on physical and chemical parameters is still feasible for the survival of phytoplankton.

Objective: development, clinical application of a new original method of hernioplasty of median postoperative ventral hernias and biomechanical experimental substantiation of the effectiveness of this method.

Materials and methods: the method of hernioplasty of median postoperative ventral hernias with strengthening of fascial-aponeurotic structures of the anterior abdominal wall was developed and clinically tested on 63 patients. An anatomical experiment was performed in which the biomechanical parameters of the reinforced scar-altered structures of the median parts of the anterior abdominal wall were studied according to the method developed by us.

Results: an increase in the biomechanical parameters of the median structures reinforced by the original method with a frame thread was found: the strength limit of the fascia — by 59.4%, and the modulus of elasticity — by 40.2%, compared with the scar-altered fascia in herniators. These results suggest a confident prevention of recurrence of herniation when using this technique. This assumption was confirmed after the introduction of the technique into clinical practice. In all 63 observed patients, there is no recurrence of herniation for 1-5 years. There were no significant complications of the course of the early postoperative period associated with the applied method of plastic surgery. The method is characterized by material and financial accessibility, the absence of complex technical manipulations that increase the duration of hernioplasty.

Conclusions: the effectiveness in preventing recurrence of herniation, accessibility and simplicity of the proposed method of surgical treatment of postoperative and recurrent ventral hernias allows us to recommend it for wide clinical use.

Objective: to evaluate the dynamics of the T- and B-cell immunity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who have and have not had COVID-19, depending on the number of CD3+CD8+T-lymphocytes.

Materials and methods: 65 men with ACS who underwent coronary artery stenting were examined. Immunological parameters were studied using flow cytometry, a complete blood count at baseline and 28 days after admission.

Results: The maximum troponin level was observed in individuals with ACS who had recovered from COVID-19 and had a normal level of CD3+CD8+T cells. Stent thromboses and deaths occurred only among patients with a history of COVID-19, mainly with reduced CD3+CD8+T- cells, for which indicators of immune status were determined over time. The absolute numbers of T lymphocytes, T helper cells, late activated T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes (CD3-CD19+CD5+), B lymphocytes (CD45+CD3-CD19+) were minimal in individuals with low CD3+CD8+ T lymphocytes who had previously suffered from COVID-19, and significantly increased in their dynamics after 28 days. Natural killer cells significantly increased in dynamics in patients with initially low and normal CD3+CD8+T-lymphocytes who suffered from COVID-19.

Conclusions: after stenting of the coronary arteries over time, in people with reduced CD3+CD8+Tlymphocytes and patients with COVID-19, T-lymphocytes (CD45+CD3+CD19-), T-helper cells, CD3+CD8+T-lymphocytes significantly increased, T-NK lymphocytes, NK lymphocytes, late-activated T-lymphocytes, T-regulatory lymphocytes and late-activated T-regulatory cells, B-lymphocytes, immunoglobulin G and complement fragment C3a decreased. T-regulatory lymphocytes and late-activated T-regulatory cells were significantly reduced in patients without prior COVID-19 with baseline low CD3+CD8+T-lymphocytes. In individuals with normal CD3+CD8+T-lymphocytes who recovered from COVID-19, T-lymphocytes (CD45+CD3+CD19-), NK-lymphocytes, and late-activated T-lymphocytes increased over time.
