Authors: Yunita Masna , Sahera Intan
Published: May 2023

Apabila ada calon pengantin akan melangsungkan perkawinan maka terlebih dahulu dia menyampaikan kehendak tersebut ke kantor KUA setempat dengan melengkapi syarat-syaratnya. Setelah itu pejabat KUA akan memeriksa kelengkapan serta memeriksa apakah ada halangan perkawinan bagi pasangan tersebut. Apabila ada yang kurang lengkap maka pihak KUA akan menyempaikan kekurangan tersebut. salah satu yang diperiksa adalah tentang wali nasabnya. Apabila wali nasabnya ada maka yang akan menikahkannya adalah wali nasab sesuai dengan urutannya. Di KUA Ranah Pesisir terdapat pasangan yang wali nasabnya ada hadir di tempat perkawinan tersebut, tetapi wali nikahnya diwakilkan. Maka di sini diteliti tentang kenapa wali nikah diwakilkan sedangkan wali nasabnya hadir di acara tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diketahui bahwa yang melatarbelakangi wakalah wali nikah adalah karena wali nasabnya termasuk wali nasab yang adhal, tetapi karena proses wali adhal harus dengan penetapan pengadilan, maka dilakukan wakalah wali nikah.

Published: May 2023

This paper discusses the dynamics of khuluk according to fiqh and its implementation in the Religious Courts. Khuluk according to fiqh is a divorce pronounced by a husband with an agreement to pay / iwadh from his wife to her husband due to fears that the wife is unable to carry out the laws of Allah SWT. These concerns can be in the form of the wife not being able to love her husband or the inability of the wife to carry out her obligations as a wife. Meanwhile, khuluk in the Religious Courts is a divorce lawsuit filed by the wife or her legal representative because the husband violates Article 116 of the Compilation of Islamic Law as the reason for the divorce or the husband fulfills the shigat talik talak. This research is a normative-empirical legal research, namely research conducted by examining written regulations and their aspects. This research uses a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. The results of this study explain that the divorce lawsuit contained in fiqh, the Compilation of Islamic Law is different from the review of divorce claims with the Marriage Law and PP 9/1975.
A comprehensive approach to special physical training for experienced judo athletes aged 19-21: minimizing health risks
Authors: Yu Shan , Boychenko Natalia
Published: May 2023

Background and Study Aim. The physical training of experienced athletes is essential to maintain their high level of performance. However, excessive physical exertion can lead to negative consequences on the athletes' health. The aim of this research is to identify the specific influence of physical exertion in the special physical training process of experienced judo athletes aged 19-21 and to provide recommendations for improving their training process, with a focus on ensuring athlete safety and maintaining their health level.
Materials and Methods. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 20 trainers-teachers, including four experienced coaches from Ukraine, to obtain information on the features of special physical training of judo athletes aged 19-21. The questionnaire included questions related to the trainers' opinions on individualization of the training process and the connection between special physical training and technical training.
Results. The study found that the trainers-teachers emphasized the importance of individualization of the training process and the tendency towards narrow specialization. They also closely connected the process of special physical training of highly qualified judo athletes with technical training, while taking into account the athletes' individual capabilities to ensure their safety and health.
Conclusions. In planning the educational and training process of experienced judo athletes, it is necessary to prioritize the athletes' safety and health level through individualization of physical activity. The study recommends a combination of special physical training with technical training, while taking into account the athletes' individual capabilities, to improve the performance of experienced judo athletes aged 19-21.
Customized evaluation of special endurance and functionality for optimal health and performance in judo athletes
Authors: Goloha Valery , Bartik Pavol
Published: May 2023

Background and Study Aim. Achieving optimal health and performance in judo athletes requires a customized approach to training and evaluation. This study aimed to assess the level of special endurance and functionality of experienced judo athletes for optimal health and performance.
Material and Methods. Thirteen experienced judo athletes were tested using a dummy throw with a deflection for 4 minutes, with the number of throws and heart rate dynamics assessed during and after the exercise. Heart rate indicators were recorded using a heart rate sensor and a specialized computer program.
Results. The athletes completed the maximum number of throws in the first minute, followed by stabilization. Heart rate gradually increased during the test, reaching a maximum of 184 beats per minute at the end of the test. These findings suggest that the dummy throw test can be used to assess the level of special endurance in judo athletes, while heart rate indicators can be used to characterize their current functional state.
Conclusions. A customized evaluation of special endurance and functionality provides valuable insights for optimizing health and performance in judo athletes. By tailoring training programs to individual needs, coaches and trainers can help judo athletes achieve their full potential while minimizing the risk of injury and burnout. Overall, this study highlights the importance of a personalized approach to training and evaluation for maintaining optimal health and performance in judo athletes.
Building an elicited imitation task as a measure of implicit grammatical knowledge
Authors: Nikouee Majid , Ranta Leila
Published: May 2023

Elicited imitation tests (EIT) are often used to measure the effects of a form?focused intervention on the development of L2 learners’ implicit grammatical knowledge, which is intuitive and retrieved without conscious awareness. This study investigated the relationship between an EIT focused on the English past tense and a set of other tests; it also examined whether the past-tense morpheme type, grammaticality of the verbs, their position in the stimulus utterances, and the explicitness of the test instructions influence learners’ imitation accuracy. Forty-four university-level students, all native speakers of Mandarin and enrolled in an English for academic purposes program in Canada, completed an EIT along with four other tests over two consecutive sessions. Results revealed that only the imitation of irregular verbs was significantly correlated with the other tests. In addition, the participants were more accurate in repeating the grammatical and correcting the ungrammatical regular verbs but neither the position of the verbs nor the type of instructions significantly influenced imitation. These findings suggest that several factors can influence learners’ performance and the knowledge that they draw upon during an EIT.

Constructive dialogue, disruptive criticism and the complex dynamics of academic life
Authors: Pallotti Gabriele
Published: May 2023

In her article ‘Issues of narrowness and staticity in ISLA’, Han presents a radical criticism of previous ISLA research, listing a number of faults and limitations that can be ascribed to a narrow and static view on the phenomena of interest. In this reply, I argue that many of these accusations are unwarranted and that they exacerbate academic debate rather than promoting constructive dialogue among different approaches. Han's proposal for a ‘new way’ of doing research is inspired by some polemical versions of Complex Dynamic System Theory, which easily dismiss the contribution of other methodologies while remaining rather vague on the level of concrete solutions. It is argued that every approach is to some extent reductionist, that narrowness and staticity are inevitable, and that instead of being the target of violent reproach they should become the object of rational discussions about when, what and to what degree one should simplify.
PLANNING ENGLISH COURSES FOR INTERNATIONALIZATION WITHIN LANGUAGES WITHOUT BORDERS AT UFS
Authors: Silva Nayara Stefanie Mandarino , Santos Elaine Maria
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Languages without Borders (LwB) was created in 2014, replacing English without Borders (BRASIL, 2012), and amplified in 2016. From 2019, the program became Andifes LwB Network. The documents which alter IsF present changes with regard to internationalization orientations. In this context, it is worth reflecting on how practices take place in IsF nuclei within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In this sense, this paper aims to analyze the preparation of an English course for internationalization purposes within IsF in a HEI from the northeast of Brazil. This is a qualitative study characterized as action research (BURNS, 2015; LAVILLE; DIONNE, 1999; PAIVA, 2019), which involves the study of field notes, document collection, and teaching logs (FREEMAN, 1998). The results indicate the preparation of a course that works on language social practices in the academic environment. It also seeks for a transdisciplinary approach and a critical concept of internationalization, with emphasis on the reflection of global issues, the role of universities, students, and the language.
ONDAS SEMÂNTICAS NO ENSINO DE PORTUGUÊS COMO LÍNGUA ADICIONAL: GRAVIDADE E DENSIDADE SEMÂNTICA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO
Authors: Silva Antonio Marcio da , Rottava Lucia
Published: May 2023

RESUMO Práticas de ensino de Português como Língua Adicional (PLA) em contexto acadêmico requerem contemplar usos desta língua em produções orais e escritas que envolvem diversos graus de abstração e complexidade semânticas. Essas práticas estão interligadas por dois aspectos: pelo modo como o conhecimento prático, horizontal e do cotidiano prepondera no ensino médio e o conhecimento teórico, vertical e abstrato no ensino universitário, pelo fato de se tratar de uma língua adicional. Esses desafios situam-se na dimensão da semântica que concebe essas práticas como ondas semânticas cujos princípios organizadores compreendem a gravidade semântica (GS) e a densidade semântica (DS) (MATON, 2013; 2020). O objetivo deste estudo é discutir como as ondas semânticas podem ser evidenciadas em um curso de PLA organizado em tópicos, ofertado para alunos do primeiro ano de graduação em uma universidade britânica. A análise contempla amostras do material didático e algumas tarefas implementadas para demonstrar como o conhecimento inicialmente caracterizado por densidade semântica forte é “desempacotado” (MATON, 2020) por meio de diferentes exemplos e usos práticos. A contribuição diz respeito ao benefício de levar as ondas semânticas em consideração ao se planejar um curso de língua adicional, visto que estudos, em sua maioria, focalizaram outras áreas do conhecimento, mas pouco a área de línguas, em especial, PLA.

Feasibility analysis of new green liquid dielectrics for transformers
Authors: Mariprasath Thenkaraimuthu , Kishore Putha , Padmavathi Manchineellu
Published: May 2023

The insulating ingredient of the traditional transformer is a mineral oil with low combustibility and biodegradability. As a result, it is unsuitable for current and future transformer applications. Furthermore, finding fossil fuels is becoming increasingly difficult. As a result of the aforementioned limitations, there is a need to look for a replacement shielding oil. This study analysed the crucial characteristics of two biodegradable oils – namely, olive and palm oils – against worldwide standards. In addition, a 1 kVA transformer was subjected to a load test using olive and palm oils in place of traditional insulating solutions to assess their practical feasibility. The authors also looked into the technical feasibility of making a percentage-based blend. According to study results, vegetable oil is a choice superior to mineral oil for electrical and fire protection. However, the density of vegetable oil is substantially higher than that of mineral oil. As a result, the cooling tube of a transformer must be carefully considered throughout its construction. Vegetable oils also have a higher concentration of lipids with a higher molecular weight. The load test revealed that palm oil performs better than mineral oil and olive oil as a liquid dielectric. Furthermore, palm oil with a higher concentration of mineral oil provides properties superior to those of others.

Konu, hem kadın çalışanlar hem de kadın yöneticiler açısından ele alınmıştır. Diğer yandan farklı ülkelerde, içinde bulunduğumuz yüzyılda cinsiyet ayrımcılığına nasıl bakıldığı, bunlara ait çalışmaların bulgularının neler olabileceği, konunun evrensel bir bütünlük içinde dikkate alınmasının neden önemli olduğu sorularına da cevap aranmıştır. Çünkü farklı ülkeler ve kültürlerde çalışan ve yöneticilik yapan kadınların sorunlarının aynı olduğuna yönelik tespitler ve bunların toplumlarda çözüme yönelik karşılığının neler olduğu da inceleme konuları arasındadır.
YÜZYILLIK ÇINARLAR: ERKEN CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİ TÜRK GİRİŞİMLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: AKDURU Hale Eda
Published: May 2023

Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında girişimcilik hareketleri genç hükümet tarafından desteklenmiş olup, finansal yetersizlikler, istikrarsızlıklar ve girişim eksiklikleri gibi çeşitli nedenlerle dönemde kurulan işletmelerin çoğunluğunun varlığını uzun vadede sürdüremediği bilinmektedir. Ancak buna karşın bazı işletmeler ise izledikleri politikalarla varlıklarını o tarihten bugünlere kadar sürdürebilmeyi başarmışlardır. Bu çalışmada cumhuriyet rejiminin ilk beş yılında Türkiye’de kurularak günümüze kadar varlığını korumayı başaran beş Türk işletmesi seçilmiş, kuruluş, faaliyet alanı, finansal yapı, uyguladıkları stratejiler ve sosyal sorumluluk hamlelerinin incelenmesi yoluyla girişimleri uzun ömürlü kılan özelliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çoklu örnek olay araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak ve günümüze kadar ulaşabilen girişimlere odaklanması bağlamında özgün olan bu çalışmayla işletmecilik tarihi literatürüne farklı bir açıdan bakılmakta ve dönemin girişimcilik bakımından ortak problemleri vurgulanarak, işletmelerin uzun ömürlülük hedefleri konusuna yönelik çeşitli çıkarımlar yapılmaktadır. Buna göre erken cumhuriyet döneminde kurularak günümüze kadar gelebilen girişimlerin ortak özellikleri arasında özel girişimlerin aile işletmesi olması, ihtiyaç olan sektörlerde faaliyet göstermeleri, finansal altyapılarının dönem şartlarına göre güçlü olması, zaman içerisinde değişime ayak uydurmaları, faaliyetlerini ve ürünlerini çeşitlendirmeleri, büyüme stratejisi uygulamaları, sosyal sorumluluk konularında hassas olmaları sayılabilir.
Fed Communication, News, Twitter, and Echo Chambers
Authors: Schmanski Bennett , Scotti Chiara , Vega Clara , Benamar Hedi
Published: May 2023

We estimate monetary policy surprises (sentiment) from the perspective of three different textual sources: direct central bank communication (FOMC statements and press conferences), news articles, and Twitter posts during FOMC announcement days. Textual sentiment across sources is highly correlated, but there are times when news and Twitter sentiment substantially disagree with the sentiment conveyed by the central bank. We find that sentiment estimated using news articles correlates better with daily U.S. Treasury yield changes than the sentiment extracted directly from Fed communication, and better predicts revisions in economic forecasts and FOMC decisions. Twitter sentiment is also useful, but slightly less so than news sentiment. These results suggest that news coverage and Tweets are not a simple echo chamber but they provide additional useful information. We use Sastry (2022)'s theoretical model to guide our empirical analysis and test three mechanisms that can explain what drives monetary policy surprises extracted from different sources: asymmetric information (central bank has better information than journalists and Tweeters), journalists (and Tweeters) have erroneous beliefs about the monetary policy rule, and the central bank and journalists (Tweeters) have different confidence in public information. Our empirical results suggest that the latter mechanism is the most likely mechanism.
Training Impact Assessment of the Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute Learnership Programme
Authors: Rabie B. , Cornelissen M.M.
Published: May 2023

The study assessed the impact of the Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute Learnership Programme in terms of the knowledge, skills, employability and empowerment of graduates. A structured questionnaire captured responses from 46% of graduates of the National Certificate in Animal or Plant Production Learnership Programme in the Overberg region of the Western Cape on their perception of the impact of theoretical (in-class) and practical (on-the-job) training on their knowledge, skills and employability. A limited number of interviews with farmers who hosted the graduates provided an industry perspective on the skills and employability of the graduates. The findings revealed that graduates were satisfied with the theoretical and practical components of the Learnership Programme and agreed that the programme equipped them with skills and knowledge that could be applied in the workplace. Responses from farmers and farm managers were more ambivalent in confirming that in-class training sufficiently prepared learners for the workplace, and they proposed that skills be taught on the job during the practical component. The study concluded that the Learnership Programme contributed to learners' personal and professional development and recommended that the modules' practical and theoretical content and timing be better aligned with the industry's expectations.
Cereal Production in the Eastern Free State, 1981 – 2007: Can Agricultural Extension Deliver Food Security?
Authors: Van Niekerk J.A. , Conradie B.
Published: May 2023

Since 1989, South Africa's agricultural productivity growth has reached a standstill while the South African population has kept growing at 1.93% per annum. Although the country is a surplus maize producer, per capita maize production has fallen at -0.38% p.a. since 1989. A provincial breakdown of food grain production will allow the government to monitor future food security, making prompt interventions possible. In this region, we need interventions that can relieve the stresses on the already over-burned natural resources, and this can be implemented through agricultural extension by raising agricultural productivity. This paper examines the field crop production trends in the Eastern Free State province of South Africa for positive or negative trends at the district level. The data reveals a decline in cereal, legume, and oil seed production between 1981 and 2007. The negative trajectory we see in all crops in all districts is concerning. In most districts, the decline is due to fewer hectares planted, but unfavourable weather and the withdrawal of support by the government may also be contributing factors. This disastrous trend could be turned around by greater investment in farmer education and skills development in the public extension service.
Reception of Terry Pratchett in Russia
Authors: Tsvetkova Marina V. ,   Higher School of Economics (Nizhny Novgorod), Kulkov Aleksandr N. ,   Higher School of Economics (Nizhny Novgorod)
Published: May 2023

The article aims to trace the history of the entry of Terry Pratchett, a famous British writer in the genre of comic fantasy, into Russian culture. Although Russian scholars have turned to the work of this writer before, studies of his reception in the Russian-language cultural field have not been conducted. The article considers the issue of reception in different aspects: (1) the publication of novels in Russian, (2) reviews of literary critics, (3) the reader’s reaction to Pratchett’s novels, (4) the interest of the academic community in the work of the writer. Despite the wide success in his homeland at the end of the 1980s due to the Discworld comic book series, the name of the writer remained virtually unknown to the mass reader until the end of the 1990s in Russia, which was due to the lack of Russian reader’s preparation to perceive the works created to parody the fantasy genre. This study allows us to say with confidence that Pratchett’s popularity in Russia continues to grow and has not reached its peak yet. Starting later, in comparison with other authors of fantasy, the reception of Pratchett developed at a rapid pace and went through three main stages in its development. At the stage of acquaintance with the author’s books, already well-known to the English-speaking world (which began in the mid-1990s), the reception consisted almost solely in the translation of Pratchett’s novels into Russian by professional translators and amateur enthusiasts who posted their translations on the Internet. At the next stage (which started in 2004), the translations were supplemented with critical responses and reviews by the columnists of the magazine The World of Fiction, which performed both an introductory function and the function of forming the reader’s opinion. Along with professional critics, the opinion of the mass reader was spontaneously formed on the Internet. During this period, Pratchett gradually became a cult figure, as evidenced by the reader’s excitement associated with his arrival in Russia, the emergence of fan communities and fanfiction. At the same time, a research field associated with the name of Pratchett began to form in academic circles, which indicates that the author was gradually turning into a classic. The third stage (which began in 2018) was marked by the completion of the publication in Russian of the main Pratchett’s books, but the publication of his biographies, previously unpublished short stories, as well as reprints and editions of new translated versions aimed at satisfying the current reader’s “communication hunger” with the works of their favourite writer emerged
On church singing in the Fedoseevtsy collection Paternal Testaments. Article II
Authors: Mikheeva Anna A. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: May 2023

For the first time, the article publishes the chapter “On Church Singing” from the Paternal Testaments collection of Fedoseevtsy Old Believers, which was compiled in their ideological center, Moscow Preobrazhenskoe cemetery, to approve the rules that determined the life of Fedoseevtsy communities in the 19th century. The text of the work is being published according to the surviving photocopy of the protograph with discrepancies according to the copies known to date. All copies date back to the second half of the 19th century, the protograph was created at the beginning of the century. The publication is preceded by a commentary on the textological differences in the original and copies, and hypothetical relationships between them are built. In order to properly analyze the discrepancies and determine the correlation of the copies, it is necessary to compare the entire collection, since the versions of the work known to us have come down as its parts. However, the author of the article aims to consider only the chapter “On Church Singing”, so she is limited to the reasoning above. In the commentary preceding the publication of the monument, the rules by which it is published are described regarding spelling and punctuation, indicating numbers and dates, numbering sheets, etc. This publication is a continuation of the article “On church singing in the Fedoseevtsy collection Paternal Testaments. Article I”, which views the place of the monument in the controversy about church singing in the second half of the 18th – early 19th centuries and analyzes the text of the chapter. It contains answers to questions about the creation of the monument and an analysis of the circle of literature drawn by the author of the chapter, as well as explanations for most of the terms and names found in the text.
O HOMEM NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: REFLEXÕES SOBRE AS RELAÇÕES CRIADAS NA ESCOLA
Authors: Silva Andrialex William da , Oliveira Manoilly Dantas de
Published: May 2023

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a relação entre um professor auxiliar do gênero masculino e a comunidade escolar, focalizando três eixos: as relações entre o professor e as famílias das crianças; entre o professor e os demais profissionais da instituição de ensino; e entre o professor e as crianças da turma. A reflexão partiu da experiência desse profissional em uma turma de educação infantil, de uma escola filantrópica da cidade de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, durante o período de um ano letivo. Como referencial teórico e metodológico, adotamos os estudos de Ramos (2011) e Gomides (2014). A pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa e autobiográfica. Foi possível perceber que os papéis sociais do homem e da mulher também estão bem definidos dentro da escola. Essa delimitação influenciou a relação de todos os envolvidos com o professor, tendo em vista que os familiares, as crianças e os profissionais da instituição escolar apresentaram estranhamento e resistência com a atuação de um homem na educação infantil.

A versenyképesség egyéni és intézményi tényezőinek szerepe az Európai Unió régióiban
Authors: Krabatné Fehér Zsófia
Published: May 2023

Míg általában úgy vélik, hogy a területi versenyképesség alapja a vállalati (egyéni) szintű versenyképesség, a meglévő versenyképességi elméletek és empirikus kutatások jórészt az intézményi kontextusra összpontosítanak. A különböző irányzatok egymástól láthatóan elkülönülnek, az egyéni és az intézményi tényezők integrálása pedig szinte teljes mértékben hiányzik a szakirodalomból. Ezen tanulmány célja az, hogy bemutasson egy új, a fenti ellentmondásra reflektáló koncepcionális modellt és egy arra épülő kompozit indikátort. Az Input-Kompetencia-Intézmény-Eredmény Modell (IKIEM) rávilágít az egyéni és intézményi megközelítés közötti legfőbb kapcsolódási pontokra. A Komplex Regionális Versenyképességi Index (KRVI) pedig az Európai Unió 151 NUTS2-esrégiójának versenyképességét méri. A KRVI elsődleges célja, hogy magyarázza a gazdasági növekedés és fejlődés relatív különbségeit, olyan módon, hogy az egységes módszertan és benchmarking által összehasonlíthatóvá teszi a vállalati (ez esetben a KKV-szektor) és a régiók versenyképességét mind egyéni, mind intézményi szinten.
A kalkulált KRVI pontszámok jól mutatják a régiók között fennálló jelentős különbségeket. A várakozásoknak megfelelően a fővárosok és a környező területek versenyképesebbek, mint a kevésbé fejlett vidéki régiók. Ezenkívül jóval erősebb pozícióval rendelkeznek a nyugat- és észak-európai régiók, mint keleti és déli társaik. A KRVI erőselméleti megalapozottsággal rendelkezik, így az adatok elérhetőségének figyelembevételével, alkalmassá válhat vállalkozásösztönző eljárások, szakpolitikák kidolgozására és továbbfejlesztésével különböző intézkedések hatáselemzésére is.

Published: May 2023

This article presents an analysis of natural recreational resources and ecotourism potential of the Mezynskyi National Park. The climatic conditions for recreational and tourist activities on the territory of the Mezynskyi NNP, as well as the phenological calendar (flora and fauna) were analysed. As a result, it was determined that the most favourable months for tourists are from April to October, due to the favourable air temperature, as well as the number of plants and animals that can be found on the territory. The flora and fauna of the park is very diverse, for example, the fauna of the park has 2200 species and includes many species from the Red and Green Data Book of Ukraine. The hydrological network is well developed. Several observation platforms have been created. The article also describes the list of ecological recreational services provided by the Mezynskyi NNP. The article concludes with a list of recommendations for further development and promotion of ecotourism in the park in order to raise the environmental awareness of the population.
Criminal Legal Norms with Double Prevention: Concept, Mechanism of Preventive Action and Types
Authors: Chuklina E. Yu.
Published: May 2023

The paper reveals the specifics of the mechanism of preventive impact of criminal law norms with double prevention, which results in the definition and classification of these norms. The concept of norms with double prevention arose in Soviet criminology following the research on recidivism and measures to prevent serious crimes against a person. Despite the fact that the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is expanding the number of norms with a clear preventive focus (for example, Art. 173.1 «Illegal formation (creation, reorganization) of a legal entity», Art. 205.1 «Assistance to terrorist activities», Art. 205.6 «Failure to report a crime»), the theory on norms with double prevention as a means of preventing crime is not developing. Scientists mainly reproduce the provisions of the Soviet doctrine, occasionally making clarifications. Having applied the system structural analysis of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and analyzed the criminological theory of crime prevention, the author concludes that the norms prohibiting actions that act as objective and subjective criminogenic factors have a double preventive potential. Accordingly, the essence of the mechanism of the preventive impact of the norms with double prevention is to reduce and neutralize such factors by bringing to criminal responsibility or its threat. When describing the model of the preventive impact of criminal law norms with double prevention, aimed at objective criminogenic factors, the author applied the concept of situational prevention of crimes. The specifics of norms with double prevention that affect subjective criminogenic factors are explained within the framework of data on recurrent (actual) violent crime and G. Tarde’s theory of learning.
Procedural Form of Defense Counsel Participation in Establishment of Evidence in Pre-Trial Proceedings Requires Optimization
Authors: Malysheva O. A.
Published: May 2023

Criminal procedural proof, which is the core of pre-trial proceedings, on the one hand, predetermines the justice of the final court decision in a criminal case, on the other hand, is able to protect a person from illegal and unreasonable criminal prosecution in a timely manner. The achievement of this is in direct correlation with the procedural capabilities of the defender to effectively participate in such establishment of evidence. However, the study of the opinions of academia, practitioners and generalization of the results of investigative practice, judicial statistics has led to the belief that in the course of establishment of evidence in a criminal case there exists an unreasonable discretion of the investigator and the interrogating officer over the guarantees of the individual’s right to protection enshrined in criminal procedure law. The defense counsel, despite the strengthening of these guarantees by the Federal Law of April 17, 2017 No. 73‑FZ, is not yet able to overcome the accusatory bias of the investigator, interrogator and properly defend the suspect, the accused. The author makes a proposal to solve this problem, taking into account the features of the modern form (type) of pre-trial proceedings.
Remote Participation of the Victim in the Proceedings at the Stage of Preliminary Investigation
Authors: Samsonov P. A.
Published: May 2023

The paper deals with the problem of the incompleteness of the legal regulation of remote participation of the victim in pre-trial proceedings, which entails an unreasonable restriction of his rights and legitimate interests. Addition in 2022 to Article 189.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code determined the possibility of interrogation, confrontation and identification through videoconferencing systems. However, to ensure the remote participation of the victim, this seems to be insufficient due to the peculiarities of this procedural status, which consists in the need to comply with the formal grounds for recognizing a person as a victim, which requires the issuance of an appropriate decision and the production of familiarization with it. Accordingly, in order to fully legally ensure the remote participation of the victim, legal regulation of the remote production of the said procedural action is also necessary. It is noted that legal regulation lacks a requirement to establish the possibility for an elderly victim, as well as a victim with physical disabilities to perceive sound and video image electronically transmitted through video conferencing systems, which prevents the exercise of his rights and legitimate interests. This duty of providing such an opportunity should be assigned to the investigator responsible for the criminal. Taking into account the experience of foreign regulation on remote participation, the author substantiates the need to fix in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation the basis for a remote regime for conducting investigative actions with the participation of minor victims, aimed at increasing the guarantees of their psychological protection.
Tectonics and seismicity of the southern Washington Cascade Range

Published: May 2023

Geophysical, geological, and seismicity data are combined to develop a transpressional strain model for the southern Washington Cascades region. We use this model to explain oblique fold and fault systems, transverse faults, and a linear seismic zone just west of Mt. Rainier known as the western Rainier zone. We also attempt to explain a concentration of earthquakes that connects the northwest-trending Mount St. Helens seismic zone to the north-trending western Rainier zone. Our tectonic model illustrates the pervasive effects of accretionary processes, combined with subsequent transpressive forces generated by oblique subduction, on Eocene to present crustal processes, such as seismicity and volcanism.
Array analysis of core-phase caustic signals from underground nuclear explosions: Discrimination of closely spaced explosions
Authors: Schlittenhardt Jörg
Published: May 2023

The GRF (Gräfenberg) seismic array in Germany is located at epicentral distances immediately before the PKP caustic B generated by underground nuclear explosions on the French atolls Mururoa and Fangataufa in the South Pacific. I use the large-amplitude PKP waveforms to improve the locations of underground explosions near these French atolls. The core phases are investigated using theoretical seismograms calculated with an extended reflectivity method. Near the caustic range, the waveforms are strongly distance dependent due to a rapid decrease in PKPdiff amplitudes before the caustic B. On the basis of their different slownesses, beam-forming and velocity-spectral (vespagram) analyses are used to identify PKPdiff, PKIKP, and PKiKP, which arrive within a few seconds of each other. Amplitudes and travel times of the weak secondary arrivals PKIKP and PKiKP are measured from the corresponding beams using a matched-filter technique. Theoretical seismograms show a change in the amplitude ratio PKIKP/PKPdiff by a factor of 2 for explosions separated by 30 km. This distance-dependent amplitude ratio is tested as a discriminant for closely spaced explosions using 31 Mururoa and five Fangataufa events. On average, the observed amplitude ratios agree with the theoretically expected amplitude-ratio behavior with distance. A combined analysis of travel time and amplitude data indicates that the investigated Mururoa explosions were detonated beneath a relatively large area of the atoll (ca. 80%), whereas on Fangataufa, explosion epicenters were concentrated within a small portion of the island. This finding contrasts the ISC/PDE epicenter determinations, which, due to insufficient station coverage, locate the majority of the explosions outside of the rim of the atolls.
The use of foreshocks in probabilistic prediction along the Japan and Kuril trenches
Authors: Maeda Kenji
Published: May 2023

This article is intended to evaluate the probabilities of occurrence of mainshocks immediately after the occurrence of possible foreshocks and propose an optimal prediction algorithm based on possible foreshocks along the Japan and Kuril trenches and also to investigate the regional variation of foreshock activity in that region. Every earthquake or earthquake cluster defined specifically, except for small aftershocks, is treated as a possible foreshock. The parameters for defining possible foreshocks are magnitude (Mf), the size of square segment [D° (latitude) × D° (longitude)], time interval (Tf), and the number of earthquakes (Nf) having occurred in that space-time. However, Tf is fixed at 10 days in this study. The expected space of mainshocks to occur is defined as the segment where proposed foreshocks have occurred, and the expected time interval (Ta) is varied as a parameter. To estimate the probabilities of occurrence of mainshocks with magnitude ≧Mm0 after the occurrence of possible foreshocks, the following three indices, alarm rate (AR), truth rate (TR), and probability gain (PG) are adopted. The parameters of Nf, Mf, D, and Ta have a significant effect on evaluating the probabilities. The optimal values of parameters for possible foreshocks, which may provide us with a totally performed prediction algorithm, are estimated on the basis of the Precursor Information Criterion (PIC) by using the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) hypocenter catalog data from 1980 to 1993. The estimated values are Mf ≧ 5, Nf = 3, Ta = 5 days, and D = 0.5° for mainshocks with magnitude ≧6, which give a set of values of 13%, 25%, 617, and 75 to AR, TR, PG, and PIC, respectively; and Mf ≧ 4, Nf = 1, Ta = 1 day, and D = 0.25° for mainshocks with magnitude ≧5, which give values of 9%, 0.8%, 56, and 220 to the same indices as above. Moreover, it is found by using the data from 1926 to 1993 that there is a strong regional variation of foreshock activity; that is, four regions exhibit high activity of foreshocks, and the deeper the hypocenter of the mainshock, the smaller the percentage of mainshocks preceded by foreshocks.
