From Friendly Disinterest to Strategic Partnership?
Authors: Nelles Mattia
Published: November 2024

Since 2014 and especially after 2022, the German–Ukrainian relations have developed impressive depth. With over seven billion euros in military aid spent since 2022, another seven earmarked for 2024, and a long-term security agreement signed, Germany has become an indispensable and reliable partner for Ukraine. Given the dire situation on the battlefield and the prospect of a long and difficult war ahead, several factors impede the potential strategic relationship. If not addressed, those could prove a problem for the otherwise strong German support for and partnership with Ukraine. They include improper communication on the German side, especially from the chancellor who is not properly making the case to his electorate more broadly as to why Ukraine aid is in Germany's interest. While Germany has changed course and only after Russia openly invaded Ukraine, it has failed to critically examine its failed Russia policy and underinvested in addressing what scholars refer to as the country's “Ukraine-ignorance”. Additionally, the cautious and fear-driven logic of German decision-making and a lingering distrust of the Ukrainian side impede the provision of much-needed weaponry and influence the bilateral relationship.
Legislatures: Organization, Administration and Privileges: International IDEA Constitution-Building Primer 24
Authors: Bulmer W. Elliot , Storey Jessica
Published: November 2024

Legislatures are vital institutions at the heart of any democracy. They not only enact laws and approve budgets, but also act as representative and deliberative assemblies, and as bodies that scrutinize and oversee the actions of the executive. In order to perform these functions effectively, legislatures need to be organized, in terms of their internal leadership, their committee structures, and the rules by which they transact public business. They also need an effective administration, including appropriate clerical support and facilities. The ability of legislatures to play their part in the democratic system also depends upon their privileges—the ability they have to protect themselves and their members against undue influences, and to maintain their functional independence from the executive. This primer will be helpful for anyone involved—directly or indirectly—in constitutional change, and anyone involved in strengthening legislatures and helping them to work more effectively. It provides a global survey of the ways in which constitutions provide for the organization, administration and privileges of legislatures. It addresses the key issues that constitutional designers or reformers have to consider when crafting suitable constitutional provisions. A consistent theme running through the primer is the way in which the powers of the majority and the rights and voice of the political minority in the Legislature are balanced.
Типология библейских цитат в поэме А. А. Ахматовой «Реквием»
Authors: Иван Павлович Рубцов
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена анализу типологии библейских цитат в поэме А. Ахматовой «Реквием». Основное внимание уделено классификации цитат на основе их функций и методов включения в текст: от прямых цитирований до скрытых аллюзий. Рассматривается, как различные виды библейского цитирования — парафразы, реминисценции, используются поэтом для передачи глубины личной и коллективной трагедии. Исследование также затрагивает использование А. Ахматовой специфических библейских образов, которые являются ключевыми для понимания ее творческого замысла и идейной наполненности произведения.

The article is aimed to analyze the of the typology of biblical quotations in Anna Akhmatova’s poem «Requiem». It focuses on classifying quotations based on their functions and methods of integration into the text, ranging from direct citations to hidden allusions. The study explores how various forms of biblical citation, such as paraphrases and reminiscences, are used by the poet to convey the depth of personal and collective tragedy. The research reveals that these quotations serve not only as cultural references but also as means to convey the emotional content of the poem, adding to it multi-layered meanings. The study also delves into Akhmatova’s use of specific biblical images, which are crucial for understanding her creative concept and the depth of the work’s idea.
Интерпретация книги «Мальчики» романа Ф. М. Достоевского «Братья Карамазовы»: опыт совмещения структурно-семиотического и герменевтического подходов
Authors: Николай Сергеевич Артёмов
Published: November 2024

В статье в рамках семиотического подхода к литературе осуществляется попытка интерпретации десятой книги романа Ф. М. Достоевского «Братья Карамазовы» «Мальчики». При помощи структурносемиотического метода Ю. М. Лотмана, в котором как существенное свойство текста постулируется дискретность его семантики, обосновывается правомерность рассмотрения отдельно взятого, «завершенного» в смысловом отношении фрагмента целостного произведения с целью его герменевтического прочтения. Привлекая при этом типологию понимания Г. И. Богина, нами осуществляется попытка интерпретации книги «Мальчики» в аспектах её композиционного и архитектонического места в структуре целостного романа. Благодаря избранным теоретико-методологическим координатам автор статьи приходит к следующим выводам. Во-первых, подобный способ освоения содержания текста существенно облегчает его понимание, поскольку основное внимание направлено не на роман целиком, а на конкретный его сегмент. Во-вторых, книга «Мальчики» в смысловом отношении отражает архитектоническую (идейную) организацию всего произведения. Наши теоретикометодологические координаты позволили выявить теоцентрические интенции, встраивающие анализируемую часть текста в поэтику всего романа «Братья Карамазовы».

In the article, within the framework of a semiotic approach to literature, an attempt to interpret the tenth book «Boys» of F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel «The Karamazov Brothers» is made. With the help of Yu. Lotman’s structural semiotic method, in which the discreteness of a text’s semantics is postulated as its essential property, the validity of considering a single, «completed» fragment of an integral work in a semantic sense for the purpose of its hermeneutic reading is justified. While involving G. Bogin’s typology of understanding, we are trying to interpret the book «Boys» in terms of its compositional and architectonic place in the structure of the integral novel. Due to the selected theoretical and methodological coordinates, the author of this article comes to the following conclusions. First, such a way of studying the text’s content makes it much easier to understand, since the main focus is not on the novel as a whole, but on a specific segment of it. Secondly, the book «Boys» in a semantic sense reflects the architectonic (ideological) organization of the entire work. Our theoretical and methodological coordinates allowed us to identify the theocentric intentions that embed the analyzed part of the text into the poetics of the entire novel «The Karamazov Brothers»
Филологические и теологические причины непонимания богослужебных текстов на церковнославянском языке
Authors: Алексей Владимирович Ковтун
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются актуальные причины непонимания богослужебных текстов на церковнославянском языке. Предпринята попытка построить типологию этих причин, выделив среди них их причины, связанные с нарушением норм чтения и пения, незнанием языка, некомпетентность в сфере православного богословия, а также психологической и духовной незрелостью лиц, занимающихся изучением церковнославянского языка. В итоге исследователь приходит к выводу, что только с учетом всей совокупности причин необходимо строить занятия по преподаванию древних языков и культур, в том числе и обучению герменевтике перевода сакральных текстов.

The article examines the actual causes of misunderstanding of liturgical texts in the Church Slavonic language. An attempt is made to construct a typology of these reasons, singling out among them the reasons connected with infringement of the norms of reading and chanting, lack of knowledge of the language, incompetence in the sphere of Orthodox theology, as well as psychological and spiritual immaturity of individuals engaged in the study of the Church Slavonic language. As a result, the researcher concludes that it is only by taking into account the totality of reasons that it is necessary to build classes on teaching ancient languages and cultures, including the teaching of the hermeneutics of translation of sacred texts.

Authors: Volodina Svetlana
Published: November 2024

One of the tools for the stable functioning of organizations is to increase the efficiency of the use of fixed capital. The main directions of development of the fishery complex are determined by the corresponding state program approved by the resolution of the Primorsky Territory Administration. One of the tasks is technical re-equipment, stimulating the renewal and modernization of fixed production assets, which should lead to an increase in the output of fish products. In accordance with the program, positive changes are already taking place in the industry. However, there are still unresolved problems regarding the efficiency of the use of fixed capital and its improvement in the future. In the article, the factors that determine the prospects for increasing the efficiency of the use of fixed capital of fishery organizations are analyzed using quantitative assessments.
Functional role of the c-terminal domains of the msl2 protein of drosophila melanogaster
Authors: Tikhonova E. A. , Georgiev P. G. , Maksimenko O. G.
Published: November 2024

Dosage compensation complex, consisting of five proteins and two non-coding RNAs roX, specifically binds to the X chromosome in males, providing a higher level of gene expression, which is necessary to compensate for the monosomy of the sex chromosome in male Drosophila compared to two X chromosomes in females. The MSL2 protein contains an N-terminal RING domain, which acts as an E3 ligase in the ubiquitination of proteins and is the only subunit of the complex that is expressed only in males. The functional role of two C-terminal domains of the MSL2 protein, enriched with proline (P-domain) and basic amino acids (B-domain), was investigated. As a result, it was shown that the B-domain destabilizes the MSL2 protein, which is associated with the presence of two lysines whose ubiquitination is under the control of the RING domain of MSL2. The unstructured proline-rich domain stimulates transcription of the roX2 gene, which is necessary for the effective formation of the dosage compensation complex.

Published: November 2024

Intermediate filaments (IFs), being traditionally the least studied component of the cytoskeleton, have begun to receive more attention in recent years. IFs are found in different cell types and are specific to them. Accumulated data have shifted the paradigm about the role of IFs as structures that merely provide mechanical strength to the cell. In addition to this role, IFs have been shown to participate in maintaining cell shape and strengthening cell adhesion. The data have also been obtained that point out to the role of IFs in a number of other biological processes, including organization of microtubules and microfilaments, regulation of nuclear structure and activity, cell cycle control, and regulation of signal transduction pathways. They are also actively involved in the regulation of several aspects of intracellular transport. Among the intermediate filament proteins, vimentin is of particular interest for researchers. Vimentin has been shown to be associated with a range of diseases, including cancer, cataracts, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and HIV. In this review, we focus almost exclusively on vimentin and the currently known functions of vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs). This is due to the structural features of vimentin, biological functions of its domains, and its involvement in the regulation of a wide range of basic cellular functions, and its role in the development of human diseases. Particular attention in the review will be paid to comparing the role of VIFs with the role of intermediate filaments consisting of other proteins in cell physiology.

G protein-coupled Receptors (G protein-coupled Receptors, GPCRs) play a key role in the transmission of extracellular signals and regulation of many biological processes, which makes these membrane proteins one of the most important classes of targets for pharmacological agents. The significant increase in the number of atomic structures of GPCRs recently has paved the way for Structure Based Drug Design (SBDD). SBDD uses information on the structure of the receptor-ligand complex to search for affinity and selective ligands without the need for high-throughput experimental ligand screening and allows a significant expansion of the chemical ligand search space. In our review we describe the process of GPCR structure obtaining by X-ray diffraction analysis and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) – an important step in rational drug design targeting GPCRs. Our main goal is to highlight to a wide range of specialists the current aspects and key features of experimental structural biology methods necessary for a detailed understanding of SBDD GPCRs.
Space and identities in two princely vitaes of Medieval Russia (late 13th – early 14th centuries)
Authors: Stefanovich Petr S.
Published: November 2024

The author of the article analyzes ideas about space (mental maps), reflecting certain identity aspects of two princely lives from medieval Rus' - the Life of Alexander Nevsky (after 1263) and the Life of Mikhail of Tver (c. 1320). He underlines important differences in the approaches of hagiographers, but also some common features of their discourse, in which some political and religious criteria for distinguishing their own and foreign communities can clearly be identified. He concludes that the Life of Alexander reflects the crisis of identities characteristic of the critical age after the Mongol invasion, whereas the Life of Mikhail reflects the balance between regional and supraregional identities.

Authors: Gayda Fyodor A.
Published: November 2024

The author examines the monograph by A.L. Beglov, dedicated to the evolution of the church parish in the history of Russia, and focuses primarily on the turbulent period of the early 20th century. At that time, the issue of parish reform acquired an acute political character. Two points of view emerged, essentially diametrically opposed: public and synodal. According to the author of the article, the politicization of the issue blocked a constructive discussion of ways to resolve the problem.
On the way to the global microhistory of the Orthodox parish
Authors: Freeze Gregory L.
Published: November 2024

The capital monograph by A.L. Beglov provides an exhaustive analysis of institutional development, discourse about the parish question, and various attempts and proposals to reform the Russian Orthodox parish. With this macrohistory of the parish available, researchers can now proceed to conduct microhistorical studies to study the parish question not from above but “from below,” thereby making is possible not only to understand dynamics at the local level but also to give agency to miriane and recognize their response to the “parish question.” This article addresses the problem of sources and suggests the range of archival and printed sources for this new stage of parish microhistory.
Concepts of reproductive behaviour and motherhood in Soviet cinema of the 1920–1930s
Authors: Philina Julia S.
Published: November 2024

The article examines representations of motherhood and reproductive behaviour in Soviet cinema from Revolution 1917 to the mid-1930s (films “Children are the Flowers of Life”, “The Road to Happiness”, “Katka's Reinette Apples”, “Bed and Sofa”, etc.) through the study of the reproductive choice mechanism, demonstration of pregnancy, childbirth and child care. Conclusions are drawn about the presence of several main conceptual frameworks, such as happy Soviet motherhood as opposed to pre-revolutionary motherhood; the unreliability of the parental function of the biological father, but the support of the collective and the acquisition of a new partner, which means the creation of a two-parents family; transition from the demonstration of medical instruments and the process of childbirth to the withdrawal of this segment; etc.
«Ukrainian crisis» of the Society of Marxist Historians
Authors: Tikhonov Vitaly V.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the discussion that unfolded at the turn of the 1920s-30s between "Moscow" and "Ukrainian" historians on the principles of interaction between the Society of Marxist Historians at the Communist Academy and the Ukrainian Society of Marxist Historians. The study of the discussion allows us to come to the problem of building a model of interaction between the center and the regions in Soviet historical science. New documents from the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences demonstrate that the Moscow Society of Marxist Historians, headed by M.N. Pokrovsky set a course to build a relatively centralized model, which was opposed by Ukrainian historians who defended the principles of national communism. The confrontation was open in nature, in which Ukrainian historians relied on the leadership of the Ukrainian SSR. During the so-called "Great Turning Point", a wave of political purges swept through, which hit the Ukrainian intelligentsia hard, among others. After that, the obstacles to the Society of Marxist Historians were removed. However, it also found itself in crisis due to the death of its leader, M.N. Pokrovsky. The fruits of the discussion have already been "reaped" by other institutions: first, the Institute of History at the Communist Academy, and then the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The consequences of the "Ukrainian crisis" were massive. The opponents of building a centralized model of historical science, in which the republican centers were subordinate to the Moscow ones, were eliminated. This directly affected the process of creating the histories of the peoples of the USSR: the overcoming of the territorial historical and cultural approach, associated primarily with the Ukrainian political and intellectual elite, began, and projects appeared to create not individual histories of the republics, but the all-Union history of the USSR.
«National historiographies» on the history of Russia in the 16th–18th centuries, published in the Hungarian journal «RussianStudiesHu»
Authors: Varga Beata
Published: November 2024

In 2021 and 2022, review articles on the latest international historiography on the history of Russia in the 16th-18th centuries were published in the Hungarian online scientific journal on historical Russian studies RussianStudiesHu. The journal issues also introduce readers to new research by Russian historians, but in this article I will primarily focus on the current state of Russian studies about the 16th-18th centuries in Central, Eastern and Western Europe and the United States. In review articles on the history of Russia from 1462-1689, historians from Hungary, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United States, as well as French-speaking scholars, call this period of Russian history the "late medieval", "pre-modern" or "early modern" era. Some researchers argue that until the mid-17th century, Muscovy had little in common with European states. And based on review articles of international historiography, it can be established that the central figures of the historiography of the 18th century in almost every country are Peter I and Catherine II, and there is still no consensus regarding the periodization of Russian history in the 18th century.

The Tragedy of the confrontation: the religious factor in the Russian Civil War
Authors: Firsov Sergey L.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes a collective monograph edited by A. S. Puchenkov and devoted to the consideration of the role and significance of the religious factor during the Civil War in Russia. According to the reviewer, the authors, based on the unique material collected in 22 Russian and foreign archives, were able to show and prove the need to take into account the phenomenon of the religious factor, rightly defining it as «a set of many components affecting the social, socio-political, spiritual, cultural and national life of society, determining the order of functioning of religion and its institutions in the system of relations between the state and society, as well as the influence of religion as a social institution on non-religious forms of public life». According to S. L. Firsov, the authors have made a successful attempt to draw a detailed picture of the state of religious denominations (primarily the Orthodox Russian Church) during the Civil War. In his opinion, the reviewed monograph can be called a kind of encyclopedia of the spiritual life of Russia during the Russian Troubles of the early 20-th century. The authors of the monograph made a worthy contribution to the study of the moral and moral state of Russian society by writing a deep and useful work for all those interested in both the history of the Orthodox Russian Church of the era of Revolution and Civil War, and the history of the Russian Troubles of the early twentieth century as a whole.

Examining the Energy-Growth Dynamics in Saudi Arabia: Insights and Policy Implications
Authors: Haque Mohammad Imdadul , Tausif Mohammad Rumzi
Published: November 2024

The empirical relationship between energy consumption and economic growth is complex and varies by country and model specification. This study focuses on Saudi Arabia, one of the largest producers and exporters of crude oil, to explore this relationship. Our analysis refutes the Energy-Kuznets Curve hypothesis for Saudi Arabia, finding neither a linear nor a curvilinear relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. Instead, we observe an asymmetric impact of economic growth on energy consumption: the rate of increase in energy consumption with rising per capita income differs from the rate of decrease when per capita income falls. Additionally, the study reveals a positive impact of investment on energy consumption, indicating a dynamic interplay between economic growth, industrial activity, and improved energy access. These findings suggest that energy consumption patterns in Saudi Arabia are intricately linked to economic fluctuations but are not uniformly predictable. Policy recommendations are provided to address these complexities and promote sustainable growth.
Energy Consumption and Economic Growth: Evidence from SADC Countries
Authors: Maune Alexander , Matanda Ephraim , Chitombo Ezekiel
Published: November 2024

This article examined the nexus between energy consumption and economic growth in selected Southern African Development Community countries for the period 1980 to 2015. The study used both simple and multiple linear regression models to examine the relationship between the variables. The statistical results of the simple linear regression model between energy use and economic growth show a correlation coefficient of 0.060. This represents a weak positive correlation between the model variables. A coefficient of determination of 0.00476 depicts that energy use explains only 0.476% of the variability in the gross domestic product of countries investigated. The multiple linear regression model results show a multiple R of 0.3684, and an R2 of 0.1358. This also depicts a weak positive correlation between the model variables. A coefficient of determination of 0.1358 means that energy use and electric power consumption accounts for only 13.58% of the values of the gross domestic product of selected Southern African Development Community countries and the balance is explained by the terms that are not specified in the model. This article is of value to policy makers in the region as well as the academia as it strives to close the gap in knowledge.

Era Industri 4.0 telah membawa perubahan dalam segala aspek kehidupan, termasuk dalam bidang teknologi Militer. Saat ini telah diperkenalkan beberapa teknologi militer seperti sistem tanpa awak dan sistem robot kolaboratif dengan Big Data yang mampu mendeteksi ancaman dan serangan musuh. Meski merupakan negara yang kaya akan sumber daya alam, Indonesia tidak lepas dari konflik bersenjata. Papua menjadi wilayah dengan kejadian konflik bersenjata tertinggi di Indonesia. Organisasi Papua Merdeka (KKB) diklaim berada di balik setiap penyerangan yang terjadi. Penyerangan yang dilakukan KKB tidak hanya merugikan warga sipil, namun juga personel TNI dan Polri serta posko TNI dan Satpam. Kurangnya teknologi khusus di pos-pos militer dan penjagaan mengakibatkan ketergantungan pada kewaspadaan personel yang bertugas untuk mengantisipasi serangan. Berdasarkan situasi tersebut, penulis bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan robot penjaga yang dapat diterapkan di pos militer di Papua. Robot penjaga yang diusulkan dilengkapi dengan senjata SS7 dan terintegrasi dengan kamera yang memungkinkannya mengenali teman atau musuh. Proses mengenali kawan atau lawan mengimplementasikan pengolahan citra. Hasil pengenalan akan dikirimkan ke layar di pos militer melalui pengirim video

Published: November 2024

This study aims to develop a prototype braking system for wind turbines used in wind power plants by utilizing a dummy load resistor. The background of this research is the necessity for an effective braking system to control the speed of wind turbines, especially under extreme wind conditions, which can cause damage to the system and electrical components. The designed braking system uses a dummy load resistor to reduce the rotational speed of the turbine by dissipating excess electrical energy as heat. Tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the system under various wind conditions and to measure performance parameters such as turbine speed stability and protection of electrical components. The results show that the uses of dummy load resistors are effective in diverting excess voltage with a set point of 14 volts, and at 300 rpm using voltage sensors, proximity sensor and MOSFETs as voltage control, which will be diverted to the dummy load resistor system. Thus, this research makes a significant contribution to the development of wind power technology, particularly in terms of safety and operational efficiency.

Micro-hydro Power Plant is a small-scale power plant. Micro-hydro plants are built with enough water potential to generate electrical energy. A common problem with micro-hydro generating systems is that the output of the generator is not constant. This is caused by changes in connected loads. Thus causing frequent fluctuations in the frequency and voltage of the system that can cause damage to electrical equipment. Because it is used Load Frequency Control (LFC) to control the frequency can be more stable. To obtain optimal control parameters on micro hydropower systems used by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). ANFIS data is retrieved from training data of PID controllers tuned using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Bat Algorithm (BA). This study compared uncontrolled methods, PID-ZN control methods, PID-ACO method, PID-BA, PID-ACO-ANFIS, and PID-BA-ANFIS obtained the best control method. The result of this research is the control method of PID-ACO-ANFIS is the best control method with overshoot 0.00 and the fastest settling time is 0.00. The results showed that the smallest overshoot (0) in the PID-ACO-ANFIS model, the smallest undershoots (1,12x10-5) in PID-ACO-ANFIS and the fastest settling time (3.77 seconds) in the starting also at PID-ACO-ANFIS. The results of this study will be tried bengan other methods, which results may be better

Background and Aims Intellectual disability manifests through defects in cognitive, motor, and perceptual skills as elements affecting learning and acquiring individual skills. Efforts to improve these skills are essential in these children. This study investigated the durable effects of perceptual-motor process-oriented interventions with the Ramon and Johnston protocol on the motor, cognitive, and perceptual performance of children with mild intellectual disability. Methods In this quasi-experimental research, 21 children with mild intellectual disability aged 7 to 12 years were selected using the available sampling method and according to the inclusion criteria. Then, they were assigned to an experimental group of 10 students (10 weeks of perceptual-motor intervention according to the Johnstone and Ramon protocol, two sessions per week) and a control group of 11 students (no intervention) using a simple random method. The participants were evaluated before and 2 months after the intervention with movement assessment battery for children 2nd Edition, Conners’ continuous performance test-II, the working memory test of Wechsler intelligence scale for children fourth edition, and the test of visual perception skills revised. Univariate covariance test was used for data analysis. Results The findings showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in general motor performance, aiming and catching, the correct answer in the attention test, visual sequential memory, and visual figure-ground in the delayed post-test stage (P<0.05). Also, no significant difference was seen in other subtests (P>0.05). Conclusion Bottom-up approach interventions through Ramon and Johnston’s comprehensive perceptual-motor training can significantly help improve general and ball motor skills, sustained attention, visual sequential memory, and visual figure-ground in children with mild intellectual disability.

Background and Aims The most serious and severe injuries among female volleyball players is the knee injury, especially the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Its key risk factors are dynamic knee valgus (DKV) and abnormal alignment during jump landing. One of the successful protocols regarding the prevention of knee injuries in female volleyball players is professional sportsmetrics volleyball training. In the present study, the effect of this protocol on DKV correction and landing error scoring system (LESS) was investigated. Methods The current research is quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical sample included 30 female volleyball players (Mean±SD age: 20.83±2.22 years, Mean±SD height: 168.16±6.47 cm, Mean±SD weight: 59.13±7.4 kg, Mean±SD body mass index (BMI): 20.83±1.52 kg/m2, and Mean±SD sports experience: 5.46±1.8 years) who were randomly divided into the training (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. Double leg squat and LESS tests were used to evaluate DKV and landing error. The exercise group participated in the present protocol for 6 weeks, three sessions per week. Each session was approximately 90 minutes, including warm-up exercises, sportsmetrics volleyball training, and cool-down. The analyses of covariance were used to evaluate the data at a significant level of P=0.05. Results The results of covariance analysis showed that performing these exercises significantly reduced (P=0.01) DKV (from 23.13 to 7.86) and landing error (from 17.46 to 7.6). In other words, the training group experienced a 66% decrease in DKV and a 56% decrease in landing error after performing six weeks of sportsmetrics volleyball training. Conclusion Sportsmetrics volleyball training has successfully improved performance and prevented ACL injury in female volleyball players. According to the present study results, performing these exercises leads to correct DKV and improves lower extremity alignment and landing technique. Therefore, performing sportsmetrics volleyball training is strongly recommended for female volleyball players with DKV.
Disputable issues regarding the systematisation of bylaws and regulations

The article deals with the issue of systematisation of by-laws and regulations resulting from the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking”.
It is noted that the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking” has not fundamentally solved the problem of streamlining of regulatory legal acts. The unresolved nature of a wide range of issues related to the systematisation of legislation gives rise, in particular, to many debatable issues, such as: clarifying the admissibility and expediency of codification of bylaws and regulations; determining and regulating the most optimal forms of systematisation of bylaws and regulations, and the role and possibilities of consolidation as a form of systematisation of bylaws and regulations.
Based on the analysis of the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking”, the article determines that the legislator, firstly, has not proposed a definition of codification as a form of lawmaking, and secondly, has not classified the types of codification by their legal force. Thus, the question of the potential existence of codification bylaws in the context of the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking” is left unsolved. Instead, the practice of subordinate legislation confirms the regularity of the existence of codification subordinate acts in the structure of the legislative system. The authors point out that the main form of subordinate legislation is resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
It is noted that the existing theoretical developments and foreign experience of regulating both formal and informal incorporation indicate that it is inexpedient to introduce it in Ukraine through amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking”, since incorporation does not have the features of lawmaking at all, and therefore it cannot be the subject of legal regulation by the Law on Laws.
It is emphasised that, given the current doctrinal understanding of the peculiarities of alternative codifications of by-laws and regulations in Ukraine, it would be advisable to adopt a separate legal act (at the level of a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine) which would regulate the rules for systematisation of by-laws and regulations in the system of executive authorities, based on the Law of Ukraine “On Lawmaking”.
It is concluded that the issue of the subjective composition of public authorities with regard to the specific forms of systematisation of by-laws and regulations requires normative and doctrinal certainty, given the consolidation of legislation.
