Atypical Athletic Corporeality and Clinical Embodied Deviance: A Case Study of Dutee Chand
Authors:   Assistant Professor and Head in the School of Languages and Literature, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, UT of J&K, India, Malhotra Isha , Thakur Raj
Published: November 2021

The paper outlines the politics of gendered athleticism appropriated and instrumentalised through the medico-juridical apparatus of the sports governing bodies. The biomedical discourse governing the atypical athletic body and the embodied nature of its pathologised deviancy is drawn through the critical reflection of athletic regulatory bodies’ testing regimes and policies. It is through the detailed analysis of the Indian sprinter Dutee Chand’s case that one of many confounding disqualification charges and trials of hyperandrogenism against athletes with differences of sex development (DSD’s) is foregrounded. Drawing on the critical scholarship of gender theorists and activists, the legitimacy of the stipulated biological mechanism of testosterone as a regulatory performance index in female elite sport is contested and problematized. Pertinent here is Dutee Chand’s narrative of trial and triumph that destabilises the reductive embodiments of sex institutionalised in and beyond the sporting track. Significantly, the paper also delineates the premises of the constitutive exclusionary and arbitrary regulatory regimes propounded by the athletic governing bodies like the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). These concerns border on the geopolitics of race and nation framing the normative, prescriptive and reserved rights of femininity, able-bodiedness and heteronormativity in international women’s elite sport.
Transnational Spaces in Amitav Ghosh’s The Circle of Reason
Authors:   Assistant Professor (English) & Head, Dept. of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology, Uttarakhand, India, Chaubey Ajay K.
Published: November 2021

This essay maps the unmapped nuances of transnational/cultural spaces in Amitav Ghosh’s debut novel, The Circle of Reason (1986; 2008) which underscores the inter-territorial itinerary of Alu, the protagonist, who after being accused of being a terrorist, runs from Lalpukur, near Calcutta (now Kolkata) to Goa to Al-Ghazira, a fictional gulf-state and finally to Algeria. The novel, Bildungsroman in nature and thematic treatment, poignantly deals with James Clifford’s idea of ‘assimilation’ (of) / ‘travelling’ cultures, geo-political boundaries and hybridization of language. The rationale of the paper is to deconstruct the binaries—tradition and modernity; oriental and occidental cultures; and emigration and immigration, which are, to me, the themes of the narrative of the novel. Ghosh has dexterously intertwined the cultural matrix of different spaces in the novel to show how in this age of mobility, open economy and transnational migration, transcultural awareness is all to value. This essay also traces the trajectory of mobility in the age of fluidity and underpins patterns of movement which affect cultural orientations, sensibilities, and, consequentially, creative expressions.

Published: November 2021

Background: â€˜Lupus brain fogâ€™ is a phenomenon of cognitive function decline in SLE patients. Premature immunosenescence in SLE was presumed to play a significant role in the mechanism of cognitive dysfunction. Aim: To prove the correlation between the terminally-differentiated CD4+CD57+, CD8+CD57+, CD4+KLRG1+, and CD8+KLRG1+ T cells & serum levels of MMP-9 with cognitive dysfunction in SLE patients. Methods: 53 women SLE were conducted to perform MMSE and MoCA-Ina tests to evaluate cognitive function. Immunosenescence was observed by measuring the terminallydifferentiated CD4+CD57+, CD8+CD57+, CD4+KLRG1+, and CD8+KLRG1+ T cells, which were measured by flowcytometry. In addition, MMP-9, an enzyme produced by terminallydifferentiated T cells, was measured using ELISA. Results: SLE patients with cognitive dysfunction based on MMSE and MoCA-Ina test had higher percentage of CD4+CD57+, CD8+CD57+, CD4+KLRG1+, CD8+KLRG1+ T cells and serum levels ofÂ  MMP-9 compared to patients with normal cognitive function. CD4+CD57+, CD8+CD57+, CD4+KLRG1+, CD8+KLRG1+Â  T cells percentage and serum MMP-9 level showed negative correlation with both MMSE scores (r = -0.286; r = -0.447; r = -0.279; r = -0.537; r = 0,411) and MoCA-Ina scores (r = -0.454; r = -0.539; r = -0.435; r = -0.535; r = -0.648). Meanwhile, percentage of CD4+CD57+, CD8+CD57+, CD4+KLRG1+ and CD8+KLRG1+ T cells showed positive correlation with serum MMP-9 level (r = 0.292; r = 0.414; r = 0.449; r = 0.374). Conclusion:Â  Expansion of CD4+CD57+, CD8+C57+, CD4+KLRG1+, CD8+KLRG1+ terminally differentiated T cells & increase of serum MMP-9 level are correlated with cognitive dysfunction in SLE patients
Manufacturing of fiber-reinforced concrete bridge arches
Authors: Nakhaev M. R.
Published: November 2021

Objective. A new method of manufacturing arches for a fiber-reinforced concrete bridge in the form of an analogue of permanent formwork is considered. Within the framework of this work, research results have been obtained that confirm the effectiveness of the system for the construction of bridge arches of various configurations.

Method. The proposed developments will improve the strength characteristics of the bridge arch for small and medium bridges by optimizing the shape and size of the cross section in accordance with the change in the bending moment along the length of the arch. At the same time, reduce its metal consumption by several times.

Result. The results obtained confirmed the effectiveness of electrostatic spraying of dry concrete mixture with simultaneous moisture up to moisture, which contributes to the work of capillary forces for compaction of concrete layers and the manufacture of a profiled strong shell (analogue of non-removable reinforced formwork) from reinforced fiber-reinforced concrete.

Conclusion. By varying the shape and dimensions of the cross- section, the thickness of the shell and the degree of its reinforcement, as well as filling this shell with high-strength fiber-reinforced concrete, it is possible to design and manufacture bridge arches for various loads.
Kształtowanie przestrzeni – sprawny system czy chaos? Miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego – zakres stanowienia
Authors: Wieczorek Anna
Published: November 2021

Prawo, to jeden z czynników wpływających w istotny sposób na jakość przestrzeni. Artykuł jest kolej- nym z serii artykułów o systemie kształtowania przestrzeni w Polsce i pierwszym z trzech dotyczących zakresu stanowienia miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego. W sposób ogólny odnosi się do całości tego zakresu. Dwa kolejne artykuły: – Kształtowanie przestrzeni – sprawny system czy chaos? Miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego – przeznaczenie terenów; – Kształtowanie przestrzeni – sprawny system czy chaos? Miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego – parametry zabudowy odnoszą się w sposób szczegółowy do kluczowych zagadnień tego zakresu. W celu zachowania precyzji wypowiedzi posłużono się szeregiem cytatów. Miejscowy planu zagospodarowania przestrzennego, kluczowy dla kształtowania przestrzeni akt pra- wa miejscowego, ma wieloznaczny, mało precyzyjny zakres stanowienia, ponieważ: – zawiera szereg powtórzeń i jest mieszaniną tego, co należy ustalić z wytycznymi i informacjami o uwarunkowaniach, z których ustalenia powinny wynikać, – w ustawie o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym i wydanych na jej podstawie przepi- sach wykonawczych brakuje definicji użytych w nim pojęć oraz jest wiele określeń bliskoznacznych, – chaos pogłębia niezrozumiały podział na zakres obowiązkowy i zakres fakultatywny. Wszystko to utrudnia sporządzanie planów miejscowych, a tym samym negatywnie wpływa na jakość przestrzeni oraz prowadzi do niepotrzebnych sporów, w tym sądowych, których dałoby się uniknąć mając precyzyjne prawo.

Selection of Online Network Traffic Discriminators for on-the-Fly Traffic Classification
Authors: Vargas Arcila Angela María , Corrales Muñoz Juan Carlos , Rendon Gallon Alvaro , Sanchis Araceli
Published: November 2021

There are several techniques to select a set of traffic features for traffic classification. However, most studies ignore the domain knowledge where traffic analysis or classification is performed and do not consider the always moving information carried in the networks. This paper describes a selection process of online network-traffic discriminators. We obtained 24 traffic features that can be processed on the fly and propose them as a base attribute set for future domain-aware online analysis, processing, or classification. For the selection of a set of traffic discriminators, and to avoid the inconveniences mentioned, we carried out three steps. The first step is a context knowledge-based manual selection of traffic features that meet the condition of being obtained on the fly from the flow. The second step is focused on the quality analysis of previously selected attributes to ensure the relevance of each one when performing a traffic classification. In the third step, the implementation of several incremental learning algorithms verified the usefulness of such attributes in online traffic classification processes.

LATE BREEDING-SEASON DEFINITIVE PRE-BASIC MOLT BY MALES, AND LATE BREEDING SEASON BROOD CARE BY FEMALES, IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WILSON'S WARBLERS
Authors: Gilbert William M.
Published: November 2021

Abstract. I made late breeding season (after 1 July) observations of a
central California population of Wilson’s Warbler, Cardellina pusilla,
over nine breeding seasons. I sighted males in definitive prebasic molt
from 4 July in 2007 through 1 September in 1999. Possibly all
territorial males molted on their breeding territories, and molt lasted
a maximum of 46 days. Following prebasic molt, territorial males engaged
in subdued “post molt singing,” which lasted 14 days in one male, but
usually no more than seven days, and was last heard on 6 September in
1999. I sighted no female in definitive prebasic molt, nor in bright
basic plumage, during the study. Of 12 color-banded females sighted
after 22 July, I confirmed 11 had been in late breeding season
uniparental brood care. Possibly all resident females not engaged in
late uniparental brood care vacated their breeding territories earlier,
and before resident males. They presumably underwent prebasic molt at
later times and locations not known. Remaining late nesting females must
have molted much later than resident males, and likely later than early
departing resident females, and at unknown locations. I last sighted
uniparental brood tending females still in dull alternate plumage on 26
and 29 August respectively, whereas some males had completed prebasic
molt by 13 August. Three unique study findings are the occurrence of
male post molt singing, a male/female difference in location of prebasic
molt, and a likely dichotomy of prebasic molt timing between females
leaving their breeding grounds early, and those remaining in uniparental
brood care.

Authors: Abdullah Ragimun , Rosdiana Haula , Setyowati Milla Sepliana
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this research is to analyze Indonesia's coal-gasification industry policy. This research needs to map the undeveloped coal-gasification industry. In fact, the coal-gasification industry can increase the economic value of coal, increase local income, absorb the labor force, and reduce pollution. It also has some strategic roles in national fiscal revenue and foreign exchange reserves and is of great significance to regional development. The research methods used are quantitative and qualitative. The results of this study indicate that government needs to provide some financial incentives for the coal-gasification industries, especially for pioneer companies for having coal-gasification works, and ensure that policies taken will be able to encourage economic growth and investment in Indonesia’s coal-gasification industry. To support investment in the coal-gasification industry, it is necessary to formulate policies and rules to provide a sign for its implementation.
Effect of Loss-of-Function Genetic Variants in PCSK9 on Glycemic Traits, Neurocognitive Impairment, and Hepatobiliary Function
Authors: Ghouse Jonas , Ahlberg Gustav , Bundgaard Henning , Olesen Morten S.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association
between PCSK9 predicted loss-of-function
variants (pLoF) and glycemic traits, hepatobiliary function and neurocognitive
traits.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We identified carriers of PCSK9 pLoF in UK Biobank exome sequencing data. We assessed
the aggregate effects of these variants on lipid/lipoprotein
traits, which served as a positive control. Association of PCSK9 pLoF carrier status and glycemic traits, hepatobiliary
function, neurocognitive traits was then evaluated as a measure for adverse
effects.

RESULTS: We identified 374 individuals with 41 pLoF
variants. As expected, we found that PCSK9
pLoF carriers had significantly lower LDL-C (P = 7.4 × 10-55) and apoB levels (P
= 7.6 × 10-50)
compared with noncarriers. However, we found no significant associations
between pLoF carrier-status and glycemic traits, hepatobiliary function and neurocognitive
traits (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Our results do not support
adverse effects of PCSK9 pLoF on
glycemic traits, hepatobiliary function or neurocognitive traits.

sátira do antiprofeta:
Authors: Martins Lucas Alamino Iglesias
Published: November 2021

O livro de Jonas tem sido amplamente conhecido como uma obra prima literária. Nas últimas décadas, estudiosos tem explorado os recursos narrativos do livro como um todo enfatizando sua relação entre forma e conteúdo. Contudo, dentre essas análises literárias, poucas exploram um fenômeno chave para se compreender o livro: a presença de ironia. No livro de Jonas, a ironia é central para revelar os múltiplos fatores de interconexão entre as diversas partes do livro. Essencial para a caracterização, a ironia joga com as expectativas do leitor; todos os personagens atuam de forma oposta à esperada. A ironia também aparece relacionada ao ponto de vista; o narrador a explora através das palavras inseridas na boca dos personagens. Finalmente, há ironia na maneira como essas palavras ecoam outros textos do cânon; o discurso do rei de Nínive, por exemplo, reproduz as palavras de Moisés em Êx. 32 e 34. Por meio da crítica narrativa, este artigo tem o objetivo de explorar como a ironia opera no livro tornando-o a sátira de um antiprofeta.

CONDENSED TANNINS OF THE SPECIES PINUS TAEDA: EXTRACTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND POTENTIAL FORMULATION OF WOOD BIOADHESIVE
Authors: Ricardo Marchini Helder , Dias Teixeira Sirlei , Rocha Raquel Dalla Costa da
Published: November 2021

The species Pinus taeda was evaluated as a source of condensed tannins for the potential formulation of phenolic adhesives from the extraction of the wood cortex. Extraction yield, percentage of tannins and non-tannins, and reactivity to the formaldehyde by the Stiasny number were analyzed in the responses of the extraction processes with extractive agents sodium sulfite (Na2SO3), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and urea [(NH2)2CO] in the percentages of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 in relation to the weight of the bark of this species. The extracts were analyzed using the techniques of IR - Infrared Spectroscopy, SEM - Scanning Electron Microscopy, DRX- X-ray Diffractometry, and EDS - Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry. In another step, the formation time of the commercial tannin gel and of the P. taeda were compared in relation to formaldehyde. The results show that the specie have condensed tannins, and sustain that they are catechins. These catechins form polymers identified by SEM in less time in relation to the formaldehyde in the formation of the gel, suggesting that the tannins can be extracted from the species as a potentially new commercial source that lumber companies can use to manufacture phenolic resins.

Celem pracy jest analiza warunków hydrotermicznych w okresie wegetacyjnym ostatniego 50-lecia (lata 1966–2015) w środkowej części rejonu kanału Wieprz-Krzna (centralnej części Polesia Lubelskiego). Charakterystykę warunków hydrotermicznych okresu wegetacji opracowano, wykorzystując dane temperatury powietrza i sum opadów ze stacji meteorologicznej zlokalizowanej w Sosnowicy (wschodnia Polska). Stacja meteorologiczna znajduje się na obszarze odwodnionego i zagospodarowanego kompleksu torfowiska niskiego położonego pomiędzy kanałem Wieprz-Krzna a rzeką Piwonią. Warunki wilgotnościowe analizowanych okresów i podokresów oceniono na podstawie przedziałów zaproponowanych przez Skowerę i Pułę wg współczynnika hydrotermicznego Sielianinowa. W analizowanym 50-leciu (1966–2015) obserwowano systematyczny wzrost średnich temperatur powietrza w kolejnych dekadach. Roczne sumy opadów w tym rejonie kształtowały się w przedziale od 327,2 mm do 819,5 mm, co wskazuje na ich duże zróżnicowanie. Okres wegetacyjny (kwiecień–wrzesień) charakteryzował się większą sumą opadów niż okres pozawegetacyjny (październik–marzec). Dwa lata (2002 i 2003) odznaczały się skrajnie suchym okresem wegetacyjnym, a 21 lat – suchym lub dość suchym. Pozostałe lata cechowały się korzystnymi warunkami wilgotnościowymi w okresie wegetacji, jednak analizując krótsze (2-miesięczne) okresy, należy stwierdzić, że przeważały niekorzystne warunki, zwłaszcza w okresach letnim (czerwiec–lipiec) i letnio-jesiennym (sierpień–wrzesień).

The study objective was to assess the allelopathic impact of the cut aboveground vegetative shoots of the selected lawn cultivars of L. perenne on the decorative value and species composition of the sward, including the share of dicotyledons. The studies were conducted in field conditions. The following indicators of the allelopathic impact of L. perenne were chosen: the share of the sown cultivars and dicotyledons in the lawn sward, general aspect, sward density and overwinter survival in object A, where the cut biomass was left, and in control object B, from which the biomass was removed immediately after cutting. The biomass of ‘Nira’ and ‘Stadion’ cultivars, cut and left on the lawn surface, exhibited auto-allelopathic properties by reducing their own share in the sward. The share of dicotyledons in the sward was reduced to the largest extent in the treatment where the cut biomass of ‘Nira’ cultivar was left. Only the ‘Stadion’ cultivar had a significantly lower sward density and a poorer general aspect of the sward in objects where the cut biomass was left in comparison with the objects where the cut biomass was removed. All the cultivars under study had better overwinter survival results in the objects where the cut biomass was left on the lawn surface.

Nitrogen, an indispensable component of living organisms can exert a negative impact on various elements of the environment. The study objective is to identify the correlation between certain environment and production factors and mineral nitrogen content in the 60–90 cm soil layer, recognised as a potential loss of this ingredient from the production and economic perspective and as a hazard to water quality. The study is based on the results obtained from 320 points (a total of 2560 samples from the 0–30, 30–60 and 60–90 cm layers), located in mineral soils in the Lublin Province, as part of a Nmin monitoring project in the years 2008–2011. The soil material was collected in the spring and autumn, Nmin content was determined using (the spectrophotometric method) against the background of precipitation and air temperature and groups of crop plants, fertilisation and animal stock at farms where measurement points were located. Livestock and crop cultivation had the greatest impact on Nmin loss. There was no significant impact of the weather conditions and N doses in the mineral fertilizers in the spring measurement period. In contrast, the correlations with the analysed factors were stronger in the autumn.

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether intrarenal injection of sodium pentobarbital is a viable method for euthanasia in anesthetized client-owned cats and assess potential factors associated with time to cardiopulmonary arrest (TCPA) for such treated cats.

ANIMALS

131 client-owned cats.

PROCEDURES

In this retrospective study, client-owned cats presented for euthanasia between March 1, 2009, and January 15, 2010, were evaluated by veterinarians to determine suitability of intrarenal injection versus other methods of euthanasia. Cats included were anesthetized and then received 6 mL of sodium pentobarbital (390 mg/mL) by intrarenal injection. Results for TCPA were compared for cats grouped on the basis of variables of interest.

RESULTS

131 cats were included, of which 74 (79%) had a TCPA < 1 minute and 28 (21%) had a TCPA between 1.5 and 8 minutes after intrarenal injection. Most (124/131 [95%]) cats had no observable reaction to the intrarenal injection other than cardiopulmonary arrest. Median TCPA was longer for cats without (1 min; 25/131 [19%]) versus with (0 min; 106/131 [81%]) palpable kidney swelling upon injection.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The effects of intrarenal injection of sodium pentobarbital in cats of the present study were similar to those typically observed with IV administration of euthanasia solution. When this intrarenal injection method is used, cardiopulmonary arrest with few agonal reactions can be expected to occur quickly in most patients. The intrarenal injection method is suited for euthanasia of anesthetized cats with easily located kidneys when IV access may be difficult.

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) and Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) diseases are major constraints to sesame production. Although disease management through intercropping of sesame with maize and foliar-spray with extracts of Tithonia diversifolia have been found to be effective, the frequency of application of the extracts required to achieve optimal disease control have not been determined. Therefore, a study was carried out to determine the effect of frequency of application of T. diversifolia extract on CLS and ALB diseases of sesame intercropped with maize during the early (June – September) and late (August – November) cropping seasons of 2011. Field experiments laid out in a Randomised Complete Block design and in a split plot arrangement with three replications were conducted in Ejigbo, Nigeria. Treatments consisted of aqueous Tithonia diversifolia leaf extract applied at 7.0, 7.5 or 8.0 % (w/v) in one-, two- or three- spray regimes at 2-week intervals from three weeks after planting (WAP) to plots of sesame intercropped with maize; Unsprayed sesame/maize intercrop; sesame/maize intercrop sprayed with Carbendazim (50 %)WP and unsprayed sole sesame plots. Results revealed that CLS and ALB incidence, severity and defoliation were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced by three-spray regime of 7.5 % (w/v) T. diversifolia extract. The efficacy of 7.5 % (w/v) T. diversifolia extract was comparable to that of 8.0 % (w/v) T. diversifolia extract or synthetic fungicide (Carbendazim 50 %WP). This study showed that the three-spray regime of 7.5 % w/v T. diversifolia leaf extract is sufficient to control foliar diseases of sesame intercropped with maize.
Thomas Aquinas and Albertus Magnus on the Problem of Evil: Insights from their Commentaries on the Book of Job
Authors: Harkins Franklin T.
Published: November 2021

This article broadly considers the commentaries on Job of Thomas Aquinas and Albert the Great as offering a helpful theological alternative to some modern philosophical approaches to the ‘problem of evil’. We seek to show that whereas some modern philosophers understand evil as a problem for the very existence of God, whether and how God can coexist with evil was never a question that evil seriously raised in the minds of Aquinas and Albert. In fact, although the suffering of the just in particular led our medieval Dominicans to wonder about divine providence and our ability to know God in this life, they understood the reality of evil as compelling evidence for the existence of God.
Grace Presupposes Nature: The Structure of the Summa and an Illustration by the Virtue of Patience in Light of Christ
Authors: Pellegrin Tyler
Published: November 2021

The first part of this essay argues that the very structure and ordering of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae manifests a departure from the typical theological position of his time regarding natural acquired virtues. Resting on a conviction that grace presupposes nature, Aquinas uniquely holds that natural virtues perfective of human nature can be acquired prior to grace, which can be elevated and incorporated by grace into the properly Christian life. The second part of this essay offers a case study of the virtue of patience that illustrates the argument of the first part of the paper.

Relations between Canada and First Nations in the West (1867-1900): The Numbered Treaties, Indian Act, and Loss of Aboriginal Autonomy
Authors: Allard Chris
Published: November 2021

This paper examines the relationship between the Government of Canada and First Nations during and after the first seven numbered treaty negotations (1867-1900). During this time, the government viewed First Nations as impediments to economic, political, and social development in western Canada. In order to secure land for newcomers and gain control of the West, the government negotiated treaties and passed legislation to control and assimilate the Aboriginal population (1876 Indian Act). As this paper explains, unjust government actions and broken government promises only made the relationship between First Nations and Canada more contentious during the late 19th century.
Caput Mundi: An Analysis of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus as a Case of Etruscan Influence on Roman Religious Architecture
Authors: Concordia Mario
Published: November 2021

While Roman architecture is often generalized as being primarily of Greek influence, there are important periods where other influences can be clearly identified. This paper considers the Etruscan, Greek, and Villanovan influence on Roman religious architecture through an examination of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maxmius, also known as the Capitolium, and argues that the temple is ultimately of primarily Etruscan influence.
The Sharing Economy as Primitive Accumulation: Locating the Political-Economic Position of the Capital-Extractive Sharing Economy
Authors: Fairweather Chris
Published: November 2021

There has been much debate in the columns of newspapers as to how we should understand the sharing economy, but as yet, much of the debate is largely superficial, garnering little attention in terms of rigorous academic analysis. In this paper, I argue that the rise of the capital-extractive sharing economy model employed by companies like Uber and Airbnb cannot be understood outside of the political-economic context from which it emerges. Drawing on the work of Marxist scholars like David Harvey, I analyze such models through the lens of primitive accumulation, positioning their development as positive evidence of Harvey’s theory that capitalism seeks to colonize new spheres of social life in order to offload the tensions of its own internal conflicts; in this case, labour market insecurity. Further, I argue that the rise of the capital-extractive sharing economy should be recognized as constituting a further entrenchment of the global neoliberal project, particularly as it stands to affect union organizing, force deregulation in favour of free market fundamentals, and further deepen the labour market insecurity from which it rises in the first place.
Provision of the access to justice for consideration of criminal procedure dispute in the court of cassation
Authors: Topilina Tatiana
Published: November 2021

This article analyzes the problems of exercising the right of access to justice for consideration of criminal procedure dispute in the court of cassation. The author examines the legislation of post-Soviet countries in terms of provision the access to justice for consideration of criminal procedure dispute in the court of cassation. The subject of this research is the norms of Russian and foreign legislation that regulate to right of access to justice in criminal proceedings. The object of this research is the legal relations that emerge in implementation of the right of access to justice. It its demonstrated that the restriction on access to justice for consideration of criminal procedure dispute in the court of cassation instance is the time constraint for filing cassation appeal for the convict; and for consideration of interlocutory court decisions – the procedure for assessing cassation appeal without holding a court hearing. The conclusion is substantiated on the need to waive the time constraint for filing cassation appeal for the convict against final court decisions that have entered into force, and for consideration of interim court decisions, the procedure for assessing cassation appeal against the interlocutory court decision should be eliminated without holding a court hearing.
