Authors: Стуканов И.А.
Published: June 2024

актуальность темы исследования обусловлена комплексом внешних и внутренних вызовов, непосредственно влияющих на организацию обеспечения экономической безопасности России, которые обуславливают необходимость выявления сложившихся особенностей правоприменительной практики с целью повышения эффективности борьбы с посягательствами на легальную внешнеэкономическую деятельность. В ходе исследования автором дана характеристика преступлений, квалифицируемых по ст. 173.1 и ст. 173.2 УК РФ в контексте явления экономической таможенной преступности и ее основных признаков и условий, выявлены имеющиеся проблемы в противодействии данным посягательствам, с которыми сталкиваются подразделения дознания и оперативные подразделения ФТС России в своей служебной деятельности. В целях совершенствования механизмов противодействия таможенной преступности, сопряженной с незаконным предпринимательством, автором выдвинут комплекс предложений, включающий изменения в порядок создания и реорганизации юридических лиц, ужесточение ответственности за использование фирм-однодневок и подставных лиц при осуществлении внешнеторговой деятельности и валютных операций, концентрацию усилий по борьбе с фиктивным предпринимательством посредством разработки и внедрения современных программных продуктов с учетом сформировавшейся положительной практики цифровизации данной сферы.

Автором было установлено, что законодатель стремится к контролю в отношении диапазона задолженности со стороны граждан, снижению нагрузки на суды, оптимизации механизмов процессуальной направленности, комплексному решению ряда экономических проблем, унификации правовых механизмов и инструментов, обеспечению непрерывности общественного развития.

the article examines the essence of the simplified bankruptcy procedure for individuals and determines the legal nature of the implementation of the relevant innovation in industry legislation. The author determines the degree of influence of the simplified bankruptcy procedure on the financial viability of a citizen and the stabilization of economic relations in the territory of the state caused by the period of restoration of the financial viability of a citizen. The scientific views of various researchers are presented, the general characteristic of which is the need for additional subdivision of sectoral legislation through the introduction of legal mechanisms for each type of bankruptcy. The author also identifies the legislator's legal approaches to the introduction and implementation of the considered measure of support for individuals, taking into account the relationship with other state instruments for stabilizing economic relations. The revealed legal approaches to the factors of simplification of the bankruptcy procedure in relation to individuals made it possible to determine the logic of the legislator and the relationship of the considered support measure with the priorities of the state. The author has found that the legislator seeks to control the range of debts on the part of citizens, reduce the burden on the courts, optimize procedural mechanisms, comprehensively solve a number of economic problems, unify legal mechanisms and tools, and ensure the continuity of social development.
Reproductive rights as an object of criminal legal protection
Authors: Пятибратова Н.Д.
Published: June 2024

защита репродуктивных прав – это необходимый элемент системы защиты государства, так как от нее во многом зависит рост населения. Репродуктивные права в настоящее время подлежат уголовно-правовой охране, то есть в действующем УК РФ законодатель формулирует составы преступлений, которые посягают на репродуктивные права граждан и устанавливает ответственность за совершение данных преступлений. Однако, в законодательстве до сих пор нет определения репродуктивных прав, которое позволило бы выделить признаки соответствующих деяний и объединить данные преступления в одну главу УК РФ. В настоящей статье автор рассматривает понятие репродуктивных прав как объекта уголовно-правовой охраны и их классификацию.

the protection of reproductive rights is a necessary element of the state's protection system, since population growth largely depends on it. Reproductive rights are currently subject to criminal protection, that is, in the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the legislator formulates the elements of crimes that infringe on the reproductive rights of citizens and establishes responsibility for the commission of these crimes. However, there is still no definition of reproductive rights in the legislation, which would make it possible to identify the signs of the relevant acts and combine these crimes into one chapter of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In this article, the author examines the concept of reproductive rights as an object of criminal law protection and their classification.

Authors: Дончевская Л.В. , Кузин Н.Н. , Шкварок В.М.
Published: June 2024

актуальность исследования заключается в стремлении авторов восполнить пробелы в системе конкурсных сделок и указать на необходимость введения цифровых контрактов с утвердением законодательно как обязательных и с полным набором информации, в том числе об ответственности сторон сделки. В статье авторами представлены размышления на темы развития системы закупок: о порядке проведения проверок; штрафов за нарушения в закупках у единственного поставщика; о членстве в саморегулируемых организациях (СРО); о сроках публикации отчётов по закупкам субъектов малого предпринимательства (СМП); о цифровых контрактах; о процентах за удержание денежных средств. Выделены существенные моменты, связанные со сферой капитального строительства, которой требуется отдельный нормативный акт, регулирующий процессы закупок товаров, работ и услуг (ТРУ) для надлежащего исполнения договора строительного подряда. Научная новизна состоит в том, что авторы рассматривают систему государственных закупок как совокупность правовых норм, регулирующих специфическим методом общественные отношения по поводу распределения части валового внутреннего продукта. Выделены существенные моменты правоприменительной практики как наиболее часто повторяющиеся и связанные с определением момента, когда должны определяться проценты за удержание денежных средств.

the relevance of the study lies in the authors' desire to fill in the gaps in the system of competitive transactions and to point out the need to introduce digital contracts with legislative approval as mandatory and with a full set of information, including the responsibility of the parties to the transaction. In the article, the authors present reflections on the development of the procurement system: the procedure for conducting inspections; fines for violations in procurement from a single supplier; membership in self-regulatory organizations (SROs); on the deadlines for the publication of reports on the procurement of small business entities (SMEs); digital contracts; on interest for withholding funds. The essential points related to the field of capital construction, which requires a separate regulatory act regulating the processes of procurement of goods, works and services (GWS) for the proper execution of a construction contract, are highlighted. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the authors consider the system of public procurement as a set of legal norms that regulate social relations regarding the distribution of a part of the gross domestic product by a specific method. The essential moments of law enforcement practice are highlighted as the most frequently repeated and related to the determination of the moment when interest for the retention of funds should be determined.

Body awareness, activity trackers, and the cognitive unconscious
Authors:   University of Bucharest; National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), DINCOVICI Alexandru
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the role activity trackers play for their users, focusing on
the transformative role of wearable technology in shaping our perceptions of
our bodies and health. Drawing on autophenomenography, in-depth interviews
and online content analysis, it questions the neutrality of tracking data and
interpretation, by drawing on Annemarie Mol’s concept of ontonorms and
highlighting the built-in normativity of the assemblage that makes it constantly
prone to enacting a certain kind of optimal performance. Using Katherine
Hayles’ concept of cognitive assemblages, it defines trackers as being specific
types of cognizers, entering alongside humans in assemblages in which their role
sometimes ends up dethroning the body’s own perceptual systems and changing
the way we are aware of our own bodies. Throughout the research, three different
types of users are identified and described, for whom the cognitive assemblage
takes a different shape: regular users, users with medical issues and power users.
"For Friendship and Peace": Socialist Romania's International Pioneer Camps in the Aftermath of War (1949-1959)
Authors:   University College London, GEORGESCU Diana
Published: June 2024

Situated at the intersection of studies of socialist internationalism and youth,
this paper explores the origins and character of Romania’s international pioneer
camps and youth exchanges in the immediate postwar decade, from 1949
through the late 1950s. It examines the role played by the Soviet model of
socialist internationalism in the development of Romania’s camps and youth
exchanges as well as the diplomatic, pedagogical, and medical aims international
pioneer camps were expected to fulfill for Romania’s fledgling regime of popular
democracy. The few existing works on the evolution of mass youth organizations
and the reforms of education in Romania assume the existence of an all-powerful
regime and party, who enforced these measures from above, having centralized
state power and nationalized property and economic resources. Through an
examination of the first international camps organized on the Black Sea Coast
and in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, this study nuances such views,
suggesting that the newly created youth and children’s organizations – The
Workers’ Youth Union and the Pioneer Organization – were precarious party
structures, which lacked politically trustworthy and ideologically trained cadres
as well as material and administrative resources to assume full control of the
country’s youth in the immediate postwar years

Published: June 2024

Most of Kampung Padang resident is a farmer especially as a oil palm and rubber farmer. In the cultivation of oil palm and rubber, there are still a few villagers from Kampung Padang who plant Mucuna between plants as a ground cover crop or Legume Cover Crop, even though Mucuna has many benefits, especially for suppressing weed growth and improving soil chemical properties. The difficulty of obtaining seeds makes people rarely use Mucuna. Some techniques that can be done to induce flowering in plants are using a growth regulator (ZPT) paclobutrazol. Several research results regarding the use of paclobutrazol have succeeded in shortening the length of plant tendrils. Other techniques that can be used to induce flowering in plants are providing water stress, ringing the plants, and pruning the roots of the plants. The response from the people of the Padang village population was very enthusiastic, seen from the many people who asked questions during the event.

The Idea of Equality in Environmental Ethics
Authors: Floris Giacomo , Porro Costanza ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: June 2024

In recent decades, it has often been argued by environmental ethicists that human beings and the natural world ought to be considered as equals in some basic sense. The aim of this paper is to make sense of this view by examining what role, if any, the idea of equality ought to play in environmental ethics. Specifically, we have two aims: the first aim is to identify those environmental claims that are distinctively egalitarian. The second aim is to show these claims do not rest on a principled and convincing justification. Our main contention is therefore that equality has no place in environmental ethics. There are other promising ways to argue that our relationship with the natural environment must be fundamentally revised. By bringing clarity to this debate and dispelling the possibility of equality-based arguments, we hope to contribute to this endeavor.

Authors: Juma Zevick Otieno , Chelleri Elisabetta , Doz Daniel , Lewanski Danilo
Published: June 2024

Background: Online examinations are increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering innovative assessment methods. Understanding student perceptions and experiences with such systems is essential for enhancing their effectiveness and acceptance in educational practice.Aims: This pilot study aimed to examine the impact of STACK-based online exams on various facets such as student comfort, perceived value for learning and exam preparation, preferences between pen-and-paper versus STACK formats, confidence in online math tests, readiness to adopt online assessment platforms, and overall perspectives on online evaluations.Method: An experimental within-subjects design and convenience sampling were used to involve 117 first-year biology students enrolled in a Probability and Statistics course, who were already familiar with the STACK system. Data were collected using pre- and post-exam online surveys featuring five-point Likert scale questions and an open-ended query.Results: The findings indicate that students felt more comfortable using the STACK system after the study and preferred it over traditional exams. Nevertheless, some students expressed uncertainty about using STACK content for final exams due to concerns about its effectiveness in evaluating critical thinking and potential technical difficulties. However, concerns regarding technical challenges decreased significantly post-exam, with no technical issues reported during the exam. Positive feedback highlighted STACK's benefits for formative assessment, easier learning, immediate feedback, and its practicality and innovation. Some students even suggested incorporating STACK into final exams for convenience and advocated for further investment in the STACK system, possibly with improved content. Conclusion: In summary, students preferred using STACK for exams, though concerns about technical glitches and the need to refine content for assessing critical thinking persist. Future efforts should focus on enhancing content quality, starting this summer.

DeepLeaf: Automated Plant Disease Diagnosis using Deep Learning Approach
Authors: S.Sailaja  , E.V.N.Jyothi  , M.Kranthi
Published: June 2024

Automated diagnosis of plant diseases is critical for ensuring food security and agricultural sustainability. In this study, we propose DeepLeaf, a novel deep-learning framework for the automated recognition and classification of plant diseases. DeepLeaf leverages convolutional neural networks to analyze plant leaf images and accurately identify disease symptoms. The framework is trained on a large dataset of annotated images, encompassing a wide range of plant species and disease types. Through extensive experimentation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of DeepLeaf in accurately diagnosing plant diseases across diverse environmental conditions and varying degrees of disease severity. Our results show that DeepLeaf achieves high accuracy and robustness, outperforming traditional methods and commercial systems in speed and reliability. Furthermore, DeepLeaf is designed to be easily deployable in real-world agricultural settings, enabling farmers and agronomists to identify and mitigate plant diseases quickly, thus refining crop yield and dropping economic losses.
A Novel Hybrid Method for Predicting Specific Crop Yield
Authors: B.Rebecca  , Padmini P.Siva , V.Dhanakodi  , M.Gayathri
Published: June 2024

Predicting crop yields is crucial for economic planning, food security, and agricultural management. Conventional approaches frequently need accurate results regarding the complex interaction between environmental conditions and crop-specific traits. By combining the best features of machine learning algorithms with expert-level domain knowledge, we provide a new hybrid approach to predicting crop yields that is both state- and crop-specific. Our approach integrates historical yield data, satellite imagery, meteorological data, soil properties, and crop-specific information to build robust predictive models. Specifically, we employ ensemble learning techniques, including random forest and gradient boosting, to capture complex nonlinear relationships and improve prediction accuracy. Additionally, we incorporate domain knowledge through feature engineering and selection to enhance model interpretability and generalization. We validate our method using real-world datasets from diverse geographical regions and crops, demonstrating its superior performance compared to traditional approaches. Our proposed hybrid method offers a promising solution for accurate and reliable crop yield prediction, facilitating informed agricultural decision-making.
Exploratory analysis on payment mechanisms to Community Mental Health Centers in Chile using mixed grounded theory
Authors: Toro-Devia Olga , Alvarado Rubén , Jeria Mercedes , Razzouk Denise , Salvador-Carulla Luis
Published: June 2024

Introduction Research on psychiatric deinstitutionalization has neglected that reforms in this field are nested in a health system that has undergone financial reforms. This subordination could introduce incentives that are misaligned with new mental health policies. According to Chile’s National Mental Health Plan, this would be the case in the Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC). The goal is to understand how the CMHCpayment mechanism is a potential incentive for community mental health. Methods A mixed quantitative-qualitative convergent study using grounded theory. We collected administrative production data between 2010 and 2020. Following the payment mechanism theory, we interviewed 25 payers, providers, and user experts. We integrated the results through selective coding. This article presents the relevant results of mixed selective integration. Results Seven payment mechanisms implemented heterogeneously in the country’s CMHC are recognized. They respond to three schemes subject to rate limits and prospective public budget. They differ in the payment unit. They are associated with implementing the community mental health model negatively affecting users, the services provided, the human resources available, and the governance adopted. Governance, management, and payment unit conditions favoring the community mental health model are identified. Conclusions A disjointed set of heterogeneously implemented payment schemes negatively affects the community mental health model. Formulating an explicit financing policy for mental health that is complementary to existing policies is necessary and possible.

Diversos estudios afirman que 5,3 millones de pacientes mueren al año en países desarrollados2 y que, en la unidad de cuidados intensivos de estos, un 17% de los pacientes padecerán una infección durante su estancia. En lo referente a los países medios/bajos ingresos, el porcentaje de infecciones va de un 4,4% a un 88,9%3. El 15% de las muertes a causa de la sepsis son inmediatas, en comparación al 85% restante que suceden de manera tardía4, por esta razón se desarrollaron escalas predictoras para prevenir la infección, conocer las características de esta y la predisposición del paciente a padecerla.

According to various studies which assert that each year, 5.3 million patients die in developed countries and 17 % of those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) will suffer from infection during their stage. As regards low- and middle-income countries, the percentage of infections ranges from 4.4% to 88.9%. 15% of deaths caused by sepsis are immediately, compared with to the other 85% which mostly used have a late-onset sepsis. That´s why predictive scales will developed to prevent infection, know its own characteristics, and the patients who are predisposed.

Scale; Sepsis; ICU; infection; SOFA; APACHE.

This study investigated the beliefs, attitudes, and motivations towards English language learning among Thai and Chinese undergraduate students at Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU). Employing a mixed-method approach, this research utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods to discern and compare these students' experiences. The quantitative phase involved 332 students, selected through stratified random sampling, who completed comprehensive questionnaires based on a five-point Likert scale. The qualitative phase included 31 purposefully selected participants from the initial pool for semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that Chinese undergraduates exhibited a significantly stronger belief orientation, more positive attitudes, and greater motivational drive towards English language learning compared to Thais. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews provided deeper insights, highlighting the value both groups place on immersion and technological integration in learning, with nuanced preferences influenced by cultural and individual backgrounds. Consequently, this study underscored the importance of customizing pedagogies, integrating technology, and embracing cultural differences in English language teaching and learning. This approach aims to create a more effective and comprehensive learning environment that fosters genuine global competence. Future research should consider a broader Asian context, incorporating diverse cultural perspectives and individual learner backgrounds.

Authors: Rasyda Risnanda Putri , Nurwasis Nurwasis , Rosarina Dewi
Published: June 2024

Acute Primary Angle Closure (APAC) or Acute Glaucoma is a condition where intraocular pressure rapidly increases due to the occlusion of the trabecular meshwork by the iris. This case report aims to present the clinical manifestations of APAC and evaluate the initial treatment strategies to immediately reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent visual loss. A 63-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of pain in her left eye, accompanied by redness, headache, blurred vision, and nausea. Her visual acuity in the left eye was 1/300, with an IOP of 69.3 mmHg. Slit-lamp examination revealed hyperemic conjunctiva, mixed conjunctival and pericorneal injection, corneal edema, a shallow anterior chamber with Van Herrick grade I, radially dilated iris, a mid-dilated pupil (4 mm in diameter), and a cloudy lens. Gonioscopy confirmed a closed angle and peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). The right eye had a shallow anterior chamber with normal IOP. Initial treatment included oral glycerin, intravenous analgesic, oral acetazolamide 250 mg, potassium chloride 600 mg, and topical beta-blocker 0.5%, but showed no improvement. Subsequently, a trabeculectomy was performed. The patient also underwent Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) on the right eye. This case underscores that acute primary angle closure is an ophthalmic emergency, and timely management is crucial to prevent further complications and visual loss. Postoperative follow-up indicated a significant reduction in IOP and stabilization of visual acuity, highlighting the importance of rapid intervention in APAC cases.
