Familiar perception about critical cardiovascular patient
Authors: Uribe Escalante María Teresa , Muñoz Torres Carolina , Restrepo Ruiz Juliana
Published: April 2023

The study was conducted in february 2003 within 15 close relatives to critical cardiovascular patients in intensive therapy at Bolivariana Hospital. It was a retrospective, interpretative and phenomenological research. We considered the feelings of the relatives aroused by manifest responses. We found that almost all were women, married and housewifes, between 31 and 50 years old, of the so called ";estrato 2"; in the socioeconomic classification of the population and Catholics. Their children were pre-schooling and teenagers, their aim was to maintain rationalization, moral, physical fitness and order.It allows to understand the great esteem held for the sick familiars; but they felt insufficiently cared for and they spontaneously expressed fear and sadness. Their feelings were revived no matter the time. Expectations were hope and death’s perception. There was affliction, anguish, faith or God’s hope. Fortitude or disregard about the relative´s illness was explained properly by some, meanwhile others repeated what they just heard; and many expressed preoccupation, anxiety and specially a great responsibility about taking decisions.Most relatives felt satisfied about the way their parents were handled, and also felt satisfaction with the space given to talk about their experiences. Finnaly it deals with a proposal about emotional alphabetization to the personnel which participate in the process and interact with relatives.Key words: phenomenology, sentiments, intensive care, critically ill patients, care given

Writing up qulitative research ... better
Authors: Wolcott Harry
Published: April 2023

The article contains the conference given by professor Harry Wolcott in May 2003 in Medellín for the presentation of the second edition in Spanish of his book Writing Up Qualitative Research. He asks why is always the second chapter of a written report the “Revision of Literature” and could it be something else instead? He proposes for chapter two to be “Linking Up” of literature, theory and method as an alternative to the traditional literature review, on demand, as necessary, instead of treating this activities as independent exercises. With respect to literature review readers want to be engaged immediately with the problem being addressed. References are critical in helping to analyse and to situate the problem and the research in a broad context. Making the link to theory should be next, but until it is quite clear what is the research interest and how it relates to the report. Finally, linking up through method, what readers want to know is how data was obtained or what are the bases for making inferences. In this manner the researcher may inform the reader since the beginning with enough detail about the problem, its context, the theory it t articulates to and the method.Key words: qualitative research, writing researchreports, report structure

Human genomics and its impact on public health
Authors: Franco A Saúl
Published: April 2023

This article presents an overview of the relationship between human genomics and public health. Departing from a review of the available literature, it points out some important areas for future research and action in the field.Initially, the article exposes the relationship between science and life, explaining how one of the ultimate goals of science has been to answer problems posed by life itself in an attemp to improve its conditions. This is followed by a description of the main areas of present or potential application of newly acquiered genomic knowledge in the field of public health, including the detection of predisposition to disease, the study of the genetic components of human behavior and a change in our self-perception and the perception of our relationships with other species. The article then focuses on the ethical, technical, political and educational dilemmas that arise when  attempting to use or limit the use of present or predictable applications of genomic knowledge.A new proposal is then presented. It suggest the possibility that advances in human genomics may be the cornerstone of a new and integrative paradigm that brings together the social and biological dimensions of human knowledge. This would overcome an ancient antagonism and open the doors for a new kind of scientific dialogue.Key words: Life and science, Human Genome, Public Health.

The goal of this work is to define the concept of case management in the American Nursing Management and Journal of Nursing Administration published during the 80's and 90´s, available at the Central Library of the University of Sao Paulo of Ribeirao Preto. After RODGERS (1993), we used the Concept Analysis, emphasizing the ";essential attributes";, ";antecedent"; and ";conseqent"; events, and also Case Managent is expressed as a model, wich  integrates quality and cost, as an organized structure, to improve the quality  of care and service coverage, and as a systematic process. Antecedent events: need to reduce cost, changes in reimbursement practice, fragmentation of care, need to improve the continuity of care and to reduce the length of hospital stay. Consequent events: continuity of care, reduce fragmentation, improve the quality of care and cost, interdisciplinary practice, satisfaction of the professionals. The predominat substitute term was managed care. It is cosidered that the concept of case management is named differently according to the contex in which it is used, but keeps the main characteristic of patient advocacy.

The protective properties of metallic and nonmetallic screens were experimentally investigated when penetrated by an aluminum shaped charge jet at collision velocities of 7–10 km/s. Such a projectile is an analog of an elongated fragment of man-made debris. For materials of protective screens, we used glass, B4C ceramics, and diamond-silicon carbide ceramic composite. The obtained results were compared with the data obtained for metal screens. In this paper, we show that the effectiveness of screen protection increases due to phase and structural transitions that occur during the interaction of elongated hypervelocity projectile with protective screens.

European integration during the «Сold War» period and the position of the USSR
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Uman, Ukraine, Svyaschenko Zinaida
Published: April 2023

The article examines the processes of European integration during the «Cold War» period and analyzes the position of the USSR regarding European integration processes in Western Europe. It is noted that the political leadership of the USSR interpreted the process of European integration as part of the political and economic struggle of «world and European imperialism» with socialist countries. It is emphasized that at the initial stage of European integration, many of its supporters were against the participation of the USSR in European economic integration, not to mention political integration, which was impossible in principle. Insignificant economic relations between the European Communities with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries took place during the period of «detente». They were determined not only by political considerations, but also by economic factors. It is noted that the attitude of the European Community to the Council of Economic Mutual Assistance (CEC) was also negative. The community did not see the latter as a necessary trading partner. The Soviet Union, in its turn, directed its main efforts to the development of trade and economic cooperation with the socialist countries that were part of the REV. At the same time, the USSR did not pay attention to the economic successes of the EU, calling them temporary. It was concluded that the USSR negatively evaluated the European integration processes, especially during the first twenty years. But the successes of Western European integration, the creation of integration organizations in many regions of the world, which took an example from the European Union, forced the Soviet leadership to change its position and also urgently engage in its own integration projects, such as the establishment of the Council for Economic Mutual Assistance (CMEA). Despite all the efforts of the Soviet leadership, CMEA could not become the core of integration in its true sense, because at the very beginning of the association’s existence, such key principles of integration processes as voluntariness and equality were grossly violated.

La mujer en las constituciones de Constantino recogidas en el Código de Justiniano
Authors: Díaz-Bautista Cremades Adolfo
Published: April 2023

El emperador Constantino es, con toda seguridad, el último gran gobernante del imperio romano. Ninguno de sus sucesores logrará aglutinar todo el territorio bajo un mismo poder efectivo. Para ello, Constantino asumirá el discurso de la religión mayoritaria del Imperio en el siglo IV: El Cristianismo. Conforme con ello, a través de su legislación, consagrará un modelo de mujer incardinado en la fidelidad conyugal que pondrá fin a cierta autonomía que habían alcanzado las mujeres en los años anteriores.
La vocación frustrada de Quinto Elio Tuberón el Joven
Authors: Herrero Medina Miguel
Published: April 2023

La excelente formación académica recibida durante su infancia habría posibilitado que Quinto Elio Tuberón el Joven se iniciase desde muy joven como orador en el foro romano. Sin embargo, de acuerdo con el testimonio de Pomponio (D. 1.2.2.46, l. s. enchir.), todo parece indicar que su prometedora carrera se habría visto truncada como consecuencia del desenlace del proceso impulsado contra Quinto Ligario. El presente trabajo pretende arrojar algo de luz sobre los pormenores de un proceso que sin duda constituyó un punto de inflexión en la vida de este jurista.

Romanismo y antirromanismo en Francia hasta el Code Napoleón
Authors: Torrent Ruiz Armando
Published: April 2023

Contra la idea general de que in galliarum terrae siempre fue determinante el derecho romano en Francia, creo que no siempre fue así y que la influencia del derecho romano supuso en la época medieval el interés de los monarcas franceses que, en cierto modo, renovaron la vieja idea de las diferencias entre pars Orientis y pars Occidentis en la Historia de la Jurisprudencia europea. Por regla general, en la época medieval el Derecho Romano estuvo reservado en el interior de catedrales y monasterios; con el “Renacimiento” volvió el interés por el Derecho Romano como idea cultural debido al clasicismo de la época, aunque posteriormente hubo tensiones sobre el aprendizaje del Derecho Romano en las Universidades francesas, y en los juicios. Con la revolución francesa e inspirado Napoleón por Domat y Pothier, el “code civil français” volvió a la idea de un Código general basado en la jurisprudencia romana, pero desde 1804 hasta 1954 comenzó un siglo de decadencia progresiva del Derecho Romano en Francia y Europa.
Nomenclatores: Esclavos y libertos valiosos en la antigua Roma
Authors: Castán Pérez-Gómez Santiago
Published: April 2023

Entre la amplia variedad de esclavos urbanos que existían en Roma, hay uno que destaca por el servicio singular que prestaba a su amo, más cuando este pertenecía a las clases altas: el nomenclator. Su función principal consistía en memorizar los nombres de las personas influyentes de la urbe, así como los de los clientes de su dominus, y servir de “apuntador” cuando éste tenía la necesidad de dirigirse a cualquiera de ellos por su nombre. Era especialmente útil cuando el noble se encontraba en campaña electoral, pero también en determinadas funciones domésticas. En el Imperio estuvieron al servicio también de emperadores y otros funcionarios, ahora con la condición de libertos, integrándose poco a poco en la administración imperial, como puede constatarse en la Notitia Dignitatum.

Authors: MERİÇ Erdal , ERDEM Mustafa
Published: April 2023

Bu araştırma, sabır ve tükenmişlik ilişkisini Millî Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı kamu okullarında görev yapan sınıf öğretmenlerinin görüşlerine dayalı olarak belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlişkisel tarama modeli ile yapılandırılan araştırmanın katılımcıları tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş olup Ordu ilindeki kamuya bağlı 97 ilkokulda görevli toplam 910 sınıf öğretmeninden oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri iki ölçek aracılığıyla toplanmış olup öğretmenlerin sabır düzeylerini belirlemek için “Öğretmen Sabır Ölçeği”, tükenmişlik düzeylerini belirlemek için ise “Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri-Eğitimci Formu” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde istatistik programları aracılığıyla parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ulaşılan sonuçlar; sınıf öğretmenlerinin hem genel sabır hem de öğretim ve etkileşim boyutlarındaki sabır düzeylerinin “çok yüksek” olduğunu ortaya koyarken tükenmişlik düzeylerine ilişkin elde edilen sonuçlar öğretmenlerin duygusal tükenme ve kişisel başarı boyutlarında “düşük” düzeyde, duyarsızlaşma boyutunda ise “çok düşük” düzeyde tükenmişlik yaşadıklarını göstermiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda sabrın alt boyutları ile tükenmişliğin alt boyutları arasında orta düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin sabır düzeyleri ile duygusal tükenme ve duyarsızlaşma düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki bulunurken sabır düzeyleri ile kişisel başarı düzeyleri arasında ise pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yani öğretmenlerin sabır düzeyleri yükseldikçe duygusal tükenme ve duyarsızlaşmaları azalmakta, kişisel başarıları ise artmaktadır.
Innovative Entrepreneurship and Economic Sustainability in the Selected Private Universities in Nigeria
Authors: Babasanya Adeyemi Olayiwola , Ologundudu Mojeed .M. , Oluyomi Oluwatosin Olatunji
Published: April 2023

Extant studies have found that entrepreneurship remains immune from business uncertainties to achieve economic Sustainability. Although fewer studies show that innovative entrepreneurship is more than creating an enterprise, a destructive process is an impetus in achieving economic Sustainability amid business uncertainties. To this end, this study empirically examines the impact of innovative entrepreneurship on economic Sustainability in the selected private universities in Nigeria during the Pre and Post COVID-19 era. Five private universities in Nigeria were selected from the four phases of private universities in Nigeria since the deregulation of university education in 1999. In addition, descriptive statistics results from the last five Universities Webometrics rankings found that Covenant University only had a persistent economic sustainable trend between 2016 to 2019, while all the selected private universities except Covenant University were not remarkable in economic Sustainability amid the post-COVID-19 era between 2019 and 2020 in this study. To this end, the study concluded that before COVID-19, most selected private universities failed to display innovative entrepreneurship vis-à-vis lecturers to students teaching ratio, routine teaching methods, stagnated learning techniques, limited sectoral competitions, presence rank, impact rank, openness rank, excellence rank, and among others. Therefore, establishing a university is entrepreneurship but will not guarantee economic Sustainability if not driven by evolutionary innovation amid the post-COVID-19 and beyond uncertainties. Thus, the study recommends all stakeholders, including the University management, staff members, and the government, to be evolutionary in their mindset to achieving economic Sustainability amid COVID-19 and beyond among Nigerian private universities.

Most organizations carried out their activities by design and develop a large volume of programmed documents as an essential element of their external and internal performance. When documents are well-known in a large volume of subject matter classification, the classifications are frequently prepared in order. Newsgroup and yahoo databases are two cases studied. This article indicates that the precision of a naïve Bayes text classifier can be importantly enhanced by taking benefit of a hierarchy of categories. A statistical approach known as shrinkage was adopted that levels variable prediction of a data-sparse child with its blood relation in direction to acquire more vigorous variable predictions. The test results on 3 real-time datasets from Yahoo, UseNet, and shared webpages display enhanced performance with about 29% error reduction over the customarily flat classifier.

: Effective communication skills are essential to improve the doctor-patient relationship and are associated with favourable health outcomes. So, to introduce a training program of communications skills as an element of early clinical exposure in the first founding years of MBBS will help them as to deliver their professional duties as future physicians to the fullest extent.

All the 1 year M.B.B.S. students (n=122) were sensitized about the verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication skills followed by their visit to RHTC (Rural health and training centre) where they used their communication skills to create awareness about personal hygiene among the community. Faculty members observed the communication skills and assessed the students by using Kalamazoo Essential Elements Communication Checklist. A Focus Group discussion (FGD) of the faculty regarding their opinion was conducted to take faculty’s feedback and valid conclusions drawn using a five-point Likert scale.

The mean age of the participants was 20 ± 1.1 years. 81.1% of the students acquired good to average communication skills based on Kalamazoo essential elements communication checklist within the community. Regarding students’ experience in the community, 93.4% replied that the experience was good, 54.1% faced no difficulty, 24.6% said that they gained confidence and 55.7% replied that they learnt to communicate effectively. Most of the faculty thought that learning communication skills is necessary for improving the doctor-patient relationship.

To introduce training for effective communication skills as an element of ECE in the very first year of MBBS will improve the role of students as future physicians. But this needs pre-sensitization of students as well as faculty and more resources including manpower and time.

Attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was originally defined in children but is now recognized to persist into adulthood or is independently diagnosed in some adults. It is associated with impairment across multiple domains, including home, college and, work and can lead to excessive internet usage, social withdrawal, substance abuse disorders, fatigue, job loss, mood changes, and distress.

To look for adult ADHD and Internet Addiction among undergraduate medical college students.

Designed as a cross-sectional study conducted on undergraduate medical college students.

This is a cross-sectional study involving 501 undergraduate medical college students between 18-25 years of age. The Adult ADHD Self-report scale (ASRSv1.2) was applied to screen for adult ADHD. Young’s internet addiction scale (IAT) was applied to look for internet addiction.

Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 25.

The mean age of the participants was 20.3 years. Most of the participants (54.9%) who screened positive for adult ADHD belonged to the younger age group (20-21 years). Mild internet addiction was seen in 34.5% of the participants, moderate in 6.4%, severe in 0.2 % and 58.9% had no internet addiction. Students who had screened positive for adult ADHD reported more addictive tendencies.

Higher levels of ADHD symptoms were associated with increased Internet addiction among undergraduate medical college students.

This study shows that adult ADHD can be one of the reasons leading to internet addiction among students. An understanding of the magnitude of the problem is essential for early screening and timely psychiatric intervention for the better functional outcome for the students.

Published: April 2023

Tortuosity in anterior circulation has been associated with the outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We classified vertebral artery (VA) tortuosity and investigated the effect of VA tortuosity on the outcomes of basilar artery occlusion (BAO) after MT.

We enrolled patients who underwent MT for BAO. VA tortuosity was classified into three-types; Type-I: non-tortuous, Type-II: S-shape or VA with acute angulation (<90°), and Type-III: coiled, kinked, or VA with multiple acute angulations. The 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS), successful recanalization, and post-MT hemorrhagic transformation (HT) were assessed. A total of 106 patients were included. Age, baseline stroke severity, and the 3-month mRS score were significantly different according to the VA tortuosity (P=0.003, P=0.002, and P<0.001, respectively). A multivariable analysis demonstrated that VA tortuosity was a predictor for mRS score 0-3 (Type-I: reference; Type- II: 0.26 [0.07–0.95], P=0.041; Type-III: 0.12 [0.02–0.82], P=0.031). Moreover, Type-III was associated with less successful recanalization (Type-I: reference; Type-III: 0.12 [0.02–0.84], P=0.032) and was a potential factor for post-MT HT (Type-I: reference; Type-III: 3.09 [0.83– 11.56], P=0.094).

VA tortuosity was significantly associated with the stroke outcome after MT for BAO. Initial stroke severity and successful recanalization might affect the stroke outcome.
“The Poor Man in Dirty Clothes Will Also Enter”: the Problem of Wealth and Poverty in the Epistle of James
Authors: Kargaltsev Alexey
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the socio-economic issues outlined in the biblical Epistle of James. The main attention is paid to the possibility of reconstructing, on the basis of the New Testament text, groups of the population that are conventionally called “rich” and “poor”, which makes it possible to analyze to what extent it should be understood as traditional Old Testament righteousness in poverty and how it correlated with social realities of the 1st century. The author’s attention is drawn to the time of the composition of the epistle, to cultural and social profile of its audience, and to regional specifics. Some Old Testament quotations addressed to the judges, the arguments like “didn’t God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom” helps reconstructing the audience of the text, filled with eschatological expectations, that correspondingly had not yet survived the upheavals of the Jewish War, guided by traditional Jewish context. The condemnation of ill-gotten wealth forms the idea of “charitable” poverty. The source of wealth in the Pentateuch is God, He grants material well-being to the righteous for their obedience: wealth is God’s gift to the righteous, and poverty is a consequence of disobedience. However, one should not be puffed up because of one’s wealth, for a poor righteous man is better than a rich rascal. Therefore, the turbulent economic processes in Palestine in the 1st century contributed to the rapid enrichment of some categories of the population, but also caused not only social, but also religious irritation in other ones. In this sense, the Epistle of James is a unique biblical text, where such contradictions are most clearly presented.
Political Mythology in the Work of Valerius Maximus
Authors: Smorchkov Andrey
Published: April 2023

The article examines the ideas about the republic in the work of the Roman author Valerius Maximus, who lived at the beginning of the principate. The most revealing elements of the republican structure are taken for analysis: the People's Assembly, the Senate, the Tribunes of the Plebs, freedom, the enemies of freedom, as well as the image of Cato the Younger as the embodiment of the moral spirit of the republic. Valerius's narrative is dominated by outstanding personalities and the Senate, which fully corresponds to the current political situation. Such attention to the individual reflects a certain departure from polis collectivism. "Freedom" is perceived by Valerius undoubtedly as the antipode of the sole power, although the special position of the princeps in the new political system was also realized by our author. However, the contradiction here is only external, since already under Augustus an understanding of freedom as “security” (securitas) was formed, which linked freedom with authoritarian power. The views of Valerius Maximus basically correspond to the optimate’ worldview, i.e. the res publica of the past for him is primarily associated with the leadership of the Senate. But this optimate’ view reflects the opposition of the “best citizens” not only to the unreasonable people, but also to the claims of an outstanding personality to sole rule. In this respect, this “program” has come into clear contradiction with the new political situation, changing and adapting as the monarchical principle strengthens. The transformation of optimate’ views is shown by the example of an ardent supporter of the republic Cato the Younger, whose image in Valerius Maximus’ work reflects the transformation of past events into textbook examples outside the historical context.
Visual Narrative and Ktisissagen: New Mosaics on the Foundation of Two Seleukid Cities
Authors: Smirnov Svyatoslav
Published: April 2023

The paper analyses two foundation myths of Antioch on the Orontes and Apamea in Syria in context of both: the late roman literature and recently discovered mosaics. Comparative study of John Malalas and Libanius accounts with the mosaics reveals a strong typological and structure affinity of the literary and visual narratives, at the same time stressing a significant difference in details. Such differences may be result of the co-existence of various versions of the foundation legends, which were influenced by local folklore tradition, as well as official state ideology.
Clement of Alexandria and His Sermon “Who Is a Rich Man That Is Saved”
Authors: Panteleev Aleksey
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the sermon of Clement of Alexandria “Who Is a Rich Man That Is Saved”. It was written at the end of the 2nd century in Alexandria and addressed to educated and wealthy young people who feared that they would not be able to save if they did not give up their earthly riches. Clement argued that Jesus did not exclude the rich from the Heavenly Kingdom, but gave instructions on how the rich should act in order to achieve salvation. Poverty in itself is not a virtue, and money can serve good purposes. The rich should practice detachment from wealth and simplicity of life, and in addition, give alms; the poor have special spiritual gifts, and their prayers protect a rich person from temptation in this world. Clement actively used Stoic and Middle Platonic concepts and terms, but attempts to combine the ancient philosophical tradition and the Old Testament doctrine of redemptive alms led to contradictions in his teaching.

"The Houston Plan": an Unrealized Project of Interaction between American Intelligence Agencies in the Early 1970s
Authors: Surzhik Dmitry
Published: April 2023

An article based on recently declassified documents from the U. S. National Security Archive reveals the so-called “Houston Plan”. Prepared by the White House and U. S. intelligence officials, it envisioned a range of covert operations from surveillance of political radicals and criminal organizations (such as the Black Panthers) to breaking into the offices of social organizations suspected of disloyalty. The plan, named after Tom Charles Houston, a young White House liaison to the Interagency Intelligence Committee (IIC), played a role in the impeachment of President Richard Nixon by providing evidence of his abuses of the FBI and other executive branch agencies.
Prospects for modernization of appeal proceedings in Russian criminal procedure: analysis of foreign experience
Authors: Nazarov A. D. , Trofimik A. G.
Published: April 2023

The article researches the problem of presenting new evidence on appeal. Part 6.1 of Article 389.13 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation is analyzed. A comparison is made between Russian and German procedures and conditions for the presentation of new evidence to ensure a high standard of administration of justice in criminal cases. The characteristic features of the German criminal appeal are singled out and described, which can become a guideline for improving Russian proceedings in the courts of appeal. In view of the foregoing, the purpose of this study is to establish the essential features of foreign legal order in the indicated respect and to assess the possibility of formulating conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the domestic model of the criminal process based on the legislative and doctrinal experience of the related legal order. In this regard, at this stage, the main task is a systematic analysis of the appellate proceedings in Germany through the prism of legislation, doctrine and practice of law enforcement and, on this basis, an assessment of the domestic model of appeal in criminal proceedings. Due to the specifics of the study, the methodological basis is the comparative legal method in all its variety of manifestations as a complex methodological system. The study substantiates the ideas of a full-fledged appeal and the need for unconditional (free) presentation of new evidence in the Russian appeal. The result of the study and analysis were proposals for the modernization of criminal procedure law: the procedure for presenting new evidence in an appeal should be simplified.
Adversarial procedures in criminal, civil, arbitration and administrative proceedings: the search for unreasonable differences
Authors: Sharipova A. R.
Published: April 2023

An attempt has been made to assess the content and implementation of the adversarial principle in the criminal process from the standpoint of comparing specific norms and institutions with their sectoral counterparts in other procedural sectors. It is proposed to replace the ideologically saturated discussion about the benefits and harms of competitiveness for the criminal process with an assessment of the state of its specific institutions. It was revealed that a number of institutions of the criminal process have a non-competitive nature, among them are preventive measures, the return of the criminal case by the court to the prosecutor, monetary recovery, forensic examination, termination of the criminal case in connection with the reconciliation of the parties, appeal and cassation appeal, review of the case on newly opened and new circumstances, etc. Separate borrowings of norms from arbitration, civil and administrative proceedings, which are of a pronounced adversarial nature, are proposed to correct the identified problems of the criminal process.
