Echoes of Heaven
Authors: Steppler Anna
Published: May 2023

This article explores the musical patronage and practices of Duchess Elisabeth of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1564–1613), a Lutheran princess of Denmark, and demonstrates that the few extant traces of her musical world testify to her careful command of music to maintain her public identity as devout consort, mother, and widow. It examines three settings of Nun lob mein Seel den Herren by Michael Praetorius (1571–1621), all of which appeared in print during his time as Elisabeth’s Kapellmeister at the Welf court in Wolfenbüttel: an Epithalamium for four choirs, a double-choir motet, and a variation set for the organ. A chorale-paraphrase of Psalm 103, Nun lob mein Seel encapsulates the tension between private religious belief and its jubilant public manifestation through music. Listening to Praetorius’s chorale settings in counterpoint with the printed record of Elisabeth’s musical and devotional life (all written by men) reveals how music helped Elisabeth construct a public image of her piety, even in seemingly private settings. The remarkable Compenius organ, commissioned from Esaias Compenius by Duke Heinrich Julius and, as Praetorius alone records, “his dear wife” Elisabeth for her rooms at Hessen Schloss, offers a glimpse into the more private musical world of a Protestant noblewoman, indicating how even such private spaces were produced, in part, for public consumption.
When They Saw Me
Authors: Arrington Michael Irvin
Published: May 2023

The current project is an autoethnographic narrative account of memorable moments that affected (and, one might argue, effected) elements of the author’s identity as an African American man. The project includes several autobiographical anecdotes that span over four decades and include interactions with educators, relatives, and strangers. The author reconsiders the ways in which others’ perceptions of him, often linked to race, have affected his lived experiences in school, at work, on a summer afternoon walk, and online. Taken together, the anecdotes illustrate ways in which the social construction of race affects the author’s perception of self and others.

Objective: to analyze, in the light of Callista Roy’s model, the pandemic implications of COVID-19 on the behavior and care of users assisted at a Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center. Methods: a qualitative study, in which 13 family caregivers of users assisted at a Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center participated. Data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. Results: three categories emerged: The impact of social distancing on the behavior of children/adolescents assisted at the Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center; Difficulties experienced by family caregivers with children/adolescents during the COVID 19 pandemic; Welcoming and support for children/adolescents and family members linked to the Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: children’s and adolescents’ care and behavior have undergone changes resulting from changes in social interaction and care at the Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center. This scenario required adaptation and, through Callista Roy’s model, it was possible to better understand this adaptive process. Contributions to practice: this study allows us to better understand the problem and, consequently, improve the care offered by the team considering the reality presented.
Targeting activins and inhibins to treat reproductive disorders and cancer cachexia
Authors: Hagg Adam , O’Shea Eliza , Harrison Craig A , Walton Kelly L
Published: May 2023

Although originally characterised as proteins involved in the control of reproductive function, activins, and to a lesser degree inhibins, are also important regulators of homeostasis in extragonadal tissues. Accordingly, disrupted inhibin/activin expression can have detrimental effects not only on fertility and fecundity but also on the regulation of muscle, fat and bone mass. Indeed, only recently, two complementary mouse models of inhibin designed to lack bioactivity/responsiveness revealed that inhibin A/B deficiency during pregnancy restricts embryo and fetal survival. Conversely, hyper-elevated levels of activin A/B, as are frequently observed in patients with advanced cancers, can not only promote gonadal tumour growth but also cancer cachexia. As such, it is not surprising that inhibin/activin genetic variations or altered circulating levels have been linked to reproductive disorders and cancer. Whilst some of the detrimental health effects associated with disrupted inhibin/activin levels can be attributed to accompanied changes in circulating follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, there is now abundant evidence that activins, in particular, have fundamental FSH-independent tissue homeostatic roles. Increased understanding of inhibin/activin activity, garnered over several decades, has enabled the development of targeted therapies with applications for both reproductive and extra-gonadal tissues. Inhibin- or activin-targeted technologies have been shown not just to enhance fertility and fecundity but also to reduce disease severity in models of cancer cachexia. Excitingly, these technologies are likely to benefit human medicine and be highly valuable to animal breeding and veterinary programmes.

The ghostly presence of the Korean orphan
Authors: Wood Tracy
Published: May 2023

El artículo analiza la literatura coreana-americana, señalando que ni el modelo postcolonial ni el modelo multicultural son suficientes para entender las sombras fantasmagóricas que aparecen en sus textos. En particular, el artículo examina la figura del huérfano y muestra que la perspectiva de la diáspora permite un análisis que no atiende exclusivamente al pasado ni al presente sino a la complicada relación de ambos.
El cuerpo de la política
Authors: Landaeta Mardones Patricio
Published: May 2023

En el presente ensayo se establece una relación entre arte y política a partir de la idea de experimentación del cuerpo. Específicamente se aborda el problema de experimentación artística como medio de configuración de una vida porvenir. Esta experimentación, específicamente la del retrato, será presentada como una práctica de desterritorialización del rostro para la creación de líneas de fuga al plano de significancia de la cultura anclado en una definición binaria de la sexualidad.
La ontología-semántica tractaniana en el pensamiento de Quine
Authors: Ruíz Abánades Jorge
Published: May 2023

Este artículo pretende ofrecer una lectura paralela del Tractatus Logico- Philosophicus de Wittgenstein y de “Ontological Relativity” de Quine, intentando mostrar que las conclusiones filosóficas de uno y otro son muy equiparables. Como conclusión general de este artículo, obtenemos que el punto de vista o el método conductista para el escrutinio del significado (iniciado por J. Dewey, y seguido por el segundo Wittgenstein y el propio Quine), no supone un giro sustancial respecto a la filosofía del Tractatus, por la razón de qué en éste ya se había dado tal giro (sin que fuera advertido por los intérpretes positivistas).

The rhetorical use of ‘Ni yiwei’ +X? in Chinese interpersonal interaction
Authors: Liu Hao
Published: May 2023

In this article, I explore how the Chinese-language construction Ni yiwei +X? (Do you think X?) is used as a rhetorical question in interpersonal interactions, which has been overlooked in the literature. I analysed 1,071 interpersonal interactions drawn from the Center for Chinese Linguistics corpus to examine the recurrent rhetorical uses of this construction. The results have revealed that Ni yiwei +X? has a conventionalised role in realising a range of relational acts dominated by expressives (including disagreeing, complaining and belittling), in the contexts where intersubjective or relational discrepancies have been invoked between interactants. Embracing the perspective of metapragmatics, I indicate that the rhetorical question Ni yiwei +X? arguably constitutes a case of metarepresentation where a thought explicitly attributed to the recipient is further embedded within a negative attitude expressed by the speaker towards the attributed thought. It is thus suggested that the rhetorical use of Ni yiwei +X? could be indicative of speakers’ metarepresentational awareness of the intentional states of both self and others, and hence their efforts to counter the relevant problematic situations, by tactfully holding the recipients accountable for the problems.

EVALUATION OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS INTAKE FROM FOOD PRODUCTS IN POLAND
Authors: Glibowski P. , Grądzki D. , Glibowska J.
Published: May 2023

Assessing vitamins and minerals intake is important, because it plays a key role in taking the right actions to improve people’s health. The purpose of this study was to analyse the average intake of vitamins and minerals in the Polish population on the basis of consumption data from the years 2009–2021. The data on the consumption of specific food products were taken from the Polish Central Statistical Office and many branch reports. A Pole’s diet provides a sufficient amount of riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, vitamins B6, B12, and A for both women and man. However, there are some deficiencies, and some of the norms are not fully covered, like in the case of vitamin C (64% for men and 74% for women), folates (74%), vitamin D (30%). The study also considers nutrients that have not been evaluated for several years as to how much of them the Poles consume on average (for example, vitamin K). Vitamin K intake meets the norms of consumption. Excessive, but not harmful intake has been found for vitamin A. As for minerals, a Pole’s diet provides sufficient magnesium, zinc, manganese, and iron (for men). However, there are some deficiencies, and the norms are covered but partly, like in the case of potassium, calcium (57%), iron (71% for premenopausal women), copper (66% for men). Another nutrient the average consumption of which has not been analysed for several years is selenium. It has been found that selenium covers the needs excessively, but not in a harmful way. Excessive intake has been found for sodium too. In conclusion, it has been established that an average Polish adult intakes riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, vitamins B6, B12, A, and K in accordance with the standards recommended by EFSA. However, the diet provides insufficient amounts of folates, vitamins C, D, and E, though it is rich in vitamin A. As for minerals in an average Pole’ diet, the intake of magnesium by women, iron by men, zinc and manganese by all adults meets the standards recommended by EFSA. However, the diet is too low in calcium, copper, and iron (for premenopausal women), though it is rich in sodium. The intake of selenium has increased to a sufficient level, as compared with previous years.
PORK QUALITY AND GENETIC ASSOCIATION STUDY OF PORCINE LEPTIN AND CATHEPSIN F GENE POLYMORPHISMS
Authors: Susol R. , Tatsiy О. , Bankovska I.
Published: May 2023

This study aims to assess the quality of raw pork intended for further processing, and also to analyse associations of genotypes, determined by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in leptin (LEP g.2845 A > T) and cathepsin (CTSF g.22 C ≤ G ) genes, with meat and fat quality traits.
Meat and fat products as raw materials for further processing, produced from pigs of French origin bred on the pig farm “Artsyz Meat Company Ltd” located in Artsyz district of Odesa region, are considered as the object of this study. The total number of pigs used to perform DNA analysis is 350 heads. DNA tests and physicochemical analyses of meat and fat products were conducted at the research laboratory of the Institute of Pig Breeding and Agricultural Production of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine in Poltava. Genomic DNA was extracted from pig bristle using the Chelex 100 ion exchange resin. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for genotyping. Fattening pigs were assessed for leptin (LEP g.2845) and cathepsin F (CTSF g.22) genes. Upon the young stock’s reaching the target live weight of 100 kg, 60 pigs in each group genotyped for the target genes were slaughtered using conventional methods. The results of genetic tests and association studies performed have shown that leptin and cathepsin F gene polymorphisms produce an effect on particular pork and backfat quality attributes.
Statistically significant associations of the genetic marker LEP SNP g.2845 A > T with the investigated quality attributes of meat and fat products, in particular water-holding capacity, meat tenderness, intramuscular fat content, backfat moisture content and melting point, have been detected. Meanwhile, the genetic marker CTSF SNP g.22 C ≤ G is found to be associated with such pork quality attributes as water-holding capacity, tenderness, weight loss during thermal processing (cooking loss), intramuscular fat content, calcium and phosphorus levels, and energy value.
Changes of regional mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases and cognitive disorders in Russia over 2019-2021
Authors: Samorodskaya I. V. , Starinskaya M. A. , Boytsov S. A.
Published: May 2023

Aim. To analyze mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and diseases associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Material and methods. We analyzed Rosstat mortality data in 82 Russian regions in mid-year population in one-year age groups for 2019-2021. Eleven groups of causes have been formed, standardized mortality rates (SMRs), average regional SMRs, and their changes over time was assessed.

Results. In total, SMRs from CVD and CI increased from 551,4±84,9 in 2019 to 622,6±98,5 per 100 thousand population in 2020 and decreased in 2021 to 612,6±106 per 100 thousand population. However, its proportion in all-cause mortality decreased by almost 10% (46,97±4,6 in 2021 and 55,98±4,6% in 2019). The growth of SMRs from year to year was noted in 30 regions; in other regions, unstable changes were noted. The proportion of CVD causes from all-cause mortality was 30,5±5,8% in 2019, 29,1±5,7% in 2020 and 25,95±5,56% in 2021 (p<0,0001). The largest SMRs and their proportion in the mortality structure are in group 1 (chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) — an average of 17,8±5,8% over 3 years) and group 6 (causes with unclear criteria for the disease, but associated with CI — 13,9±5,9%). The contribution of the second (acute coronary artery disease — 4,6±2,8%), the third (defects, cardiopathies, endo- and myocarditis — 4,8±2,7%) and the fifth (stroke — 6,1±1,7%) groups of causes are much smaller. The sixth place in terms of SMRs and contribution to all-cause mortality is occupied by alcohol-associated causes (1,8±1,1%). The proportion of other causes (hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, other mental disorders) is small.

Conclusion. When developing and implementing programs aimed at reducing mortality, results obtained should be taken into account. Significant regional differences in the rate and changes of SMRs over time indicate the need to unify the criteria for the underlying cause of death, especially in multimorbid patients.

The process of occurrence of rotational motion of dusty plasma in a longitudinal magnetic field was investigated. It was experimentally found that the occurrence of rotation depends on the number of dust particles in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic induction vector, as well as on their vertical position in the dust trap (i.e., the magnitude of the electric field). The value of the threshold for the appearance of rotation in the magnetic field at a constant number of particles depends on the particle size and discharge conditions. The parameters of the experiment are selected, at which the effect manifests itself in detail. It has been established that for stationary rotation, a stable position of dust particles in the cross section is required, which corresponds to the filling of the shells of a rotating dust structure.
Investigation on thermo-mechanical response of energy piles in saturated clay

Published: May 2023

In recent years, energy piles have been widely used in the collection of shallow geothermal energy. However, the engineering characteristics of the soil and the mechanical behaviour of the pile are affected by temperature, particularly in clay. To explore the influence of heating–cooling cycles on the thermo-mechanical response of an energy pile in saturated clay, a laboratory model test was designed. The energy pile in saturated clay was subjected to ten heating–cooling cycles. A fibre Bragg grating (FBG) system was adopted to monitor the pile strain. Meanwhile, pile and soil temperature, pore water pressure and pile top displacement data were collected using a dynamic acquisition instrument. The results show that FBG sensors can achieve good results in measuring the axial strain of a pile. The distribution and transmission of thermally induced axial force and stress are affected by soil properties and pile constraints. Temperature cycling will lead to the thermal consolidation of saturated clay, improving the bearing performance of energy piles, and to an irreversible settlement of the energy pile.

Based on a review of the literature, it is shown that there are a large number of qualified specialists in the cultivation of microalgae to absorb carbon dioxide in the country, despite the apparent complexity of this method in comparison with the method of injecting it into the layer. Since the absorption by microalgae of the genus chlorella occurs using the energy of sunlight, then with a sufficient amount of it, emissions of additional carbon dioxide are dispensed with. This technology, like no other, depends on climatic conditions: in a climate with an average annual temperature below 0 °C, algae cultivation is impractical, here the only acceptable technology is carbon dioxide liquefaction and its injection into the layer. In a temperate climate, where the largest number of enterprises and cities in Europe and Russia are located, it is necessary to alternate technologies, that is, in summer, cultivate large areas of chlorella according to the technology proposed in the article, and in winter, reduce the area and pump some of carbon dioxide into storage.

Published: May 2023

The gas-liquid mixture flow along an oil and gas field pipeline is a complex process, the parameters of which, as a rule, are not determined along its length. Pressure and temperature of water-oil emulsion decrease along the pipeline length, pressure and temperature conditions of separation from oil both light components in the form of associated petroleum gas and heavy components – in the form of asphaltenes, resins, paraffins and mechanical impurities – change. Two techniques for deposit quantitative diagnostics  in the pipeline are discussed in the article. Viscosity and velocity of injected reference fluid in the pipeline section  complicated by deposits are considered as informative parameters when using pressure sensors and ultrasonic flowmeter.

Technologies for the quantitative assessment of deposits in oilfield pipelines based on the control of the movement of a fluid with a reference property different from the property of the pipeline fluid are proposed. According to the first technology, the viscosity of the liquid is changed and the pressure difference at the beginning and at the end of the pipeline with deposits is fixed in time. According to the second technology, the value of the increased velocity of fluid movement in places where the pipeline is narrowed due to the presence of deposits is measured. The theoretical basis of the processes occurring with liquids in pipeline transport is substantiated. With an increase in the viscosity of the reference liquid, the degree of compression of the liquid increases and, as a result, the frequency of vibrations of the liquid molecules increases. With a decrease in the viscosity of the reference liquid, the reverse picture is observed.

The article considers alternative arguments, that contradict the accepted the organic hypothesis of oil origin, which must be taken into account at carrying out of oil and gas prospecting works. These conclusions must be used in the exploratory oil and gas well engineering in nonconventional reservoir types. The substantiation of the inorganic genesis of oil and gas, the assumption about the current age of hydrocarbon formation is proposed. The oil of many modern deposits undergoes dynamic processes, exchanges matter, information, while in the reservoir. This is proven by the chemistry of hydrocarbon molecules, characteristic only of oil, and their increased content in the surround-ing geological environment. A brief strategy of prospecting and exploration of commercial hydrocarbon reserves is outlined. The basic geological conditions for the potential belonging of the structure to the oil trap have been established. The well-known drilling data of an oil field dedicated to the Krasnoleninsky arch of the West Siberian oil and gas province are presented. The prospecting and exploration of oil reservoir is considered as the removal of two uncertainties: dynamic and static. The prospecting for oil involves the removal of dynamic uncertainty, which is a derivative of oil discrete reproduction and the formation of an accumulation. Its result is difficult to reliably identify. Geo chemical characteristics and prerequisites are no less important markers for prospecting and exploration.
Private Law Contract as One of the Ways of Regulation in International Maritime Law
Authors: Koval V. N.
Published: May 2023

The paper analyzes the concept of a civil contract consolidated in the current legislation of the Russian Federation, which allowed the author to conclude that this concept constitutes an established legal phenomenon that has been set out in regulatory acts. The author separately outlines some aspects of state contracts, since similar agreements for the carriage of sea cargo form an independent institution of law stemming from the specified legal institute. The paper also discusses the peculiarities of a private law contract with due regard to doctrinal studies, including the studies conducted in connection with the adoption of the Merchant Shipping Code of the Russian Federation. The author determines the main trends in studying the private law contract as a method of regulation in international maritime law in general theoretical and practical aspects. The paper considers both general theoretical trends aimed at examining global issues and individual issues concerning separate and highly specialized problems, including new problems that have emerged in connection with the development of society, completely new forms of interaction, e.g., the digitalization of public relations. The author analyzes the practice of applying a private law contract in international maritime law, as well as the judicial practice of considering disputes on the designated topic. The author has examined the Russian legislation regulating relations under consideration, taking into account amendments both at the federal level and at the departmental level. The paper also provides for the classification of the indicated amendments and alterations regarding the level of the actors who have initiated them. As a result of the study, it is determined that we can observe the process of formation of absolutely new legal relations that develop in the process of applying a private law contract as one of the ways of regulation in international maritime law, taking into account the geopolitical realities, namely, imposed sanctions, restrictions and contradictions and difficulties created with their help. It is concluded that the current legislation is currently being reformed, and the author suggests improvements.
The Concept of Possession in Civil Law
Authors: Klimanova D. D.
Published: May 2023

Possession constitutes a complicated phenomenon of civil law to understand, which leads to numerous studies of its legal nature. Possession has a long history, during which its contents have been transformed. The author analyzed the difference in the content of possession using the civil legislation of Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Spain as cases for the study. The ambiguity of the concept of possession leads to the situation when in the doctrine this term is used to describe phenomena that do not relate to possession as an institution of property law. Thus, scholars often use the term «possession» in relation to digital assets, tokens, etc., when researching and describing concepts related to the digitalization of civil turnover. The author substantiates the impossibility of using the terminology of property law to digital objects. The paper analyzes the significance of transfer of possession during the transfer of ownership under the contract of sale and in the event of possession arising under a works contract. The conclusion is formulated according to which possession can be associated only with physical entities and it is inherent exclusively to the legal regime of things, but not other objects of civil rights. The concept of bona fide prescription possession is formulated and a conclusion is made about its legal nature. The author highlights and argues the point of view according to which the doctrinal classification of possession, depending on the type of thing (movable or immovable), into ordinary and «bookish» for the purposes of differentiating ways of its protection is controversial. Attention is drawn to the fact that possession can act as a fact and as a right. At the same time, as a legal fact, possession must be differentiated for the purposes of protecting the interests of the authorized party.
The Concept of Crimes against Digital Data Security
Authors: Mosechkin I. N.
Published: May 2023

In the theory of criminal law, there are many approaches to understanding the concept and content of computer crimes. Some authors adhere to a strictly normative approach, using the term «crimes in the field of computer information» and referring to this category of acts provided for by Chapter 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Other authors operate with concepts «computer crimes,» «information crimes,» «cybercrimes,» «crimes in the field of high technologies,» «Internet crimes,» etc. The paper also presents an analysis of foreign regulations, demonstrating a significant difference in the directions of regulating criminal liability for computer crimes. The lack of a uniform approach creates obstacles to effective scientific and legislative activity. The author attempts to develop the most comprehensive and accurate definition covering crimes related to the use of computer technology. The author proves that the term «computer» is outdated and requires replacement, as the term «electronic computing machine» previously used in the criminal law. Recent changes in various branches of law are characterized by the use of the adjective «digital,» which is applicable to criminal law. Starting from the concept of digital information that was earlier developed by legal scholars the author proposes a new definition covering crimes related to the use of computer technology. When forming a definition, the author, first, takes into account the object of encroachment, and as additional features — tools, means or method of committing an act. According to the results of the study, the author gives the concept of crimes against the security of digital information — these are socially dangerous acts that cause harm or put in danger of harming the state of security of the processes of searching, collecting, storing, processing, providing, distributing digital information committed using information and telecommunications technologies or violating the rules of their use.
The Antarctic Stations Status in the Context of Antarctica's Frozen Territorial Claims of the States Parties to the Antarctic Treaty and Applicable National Legislation
Authors: Batyr V. A.
Published: May 2023

The paper analyzes the Russian doctrine of international law and gives a critical assessment of its state, because the problems of Antarctica traditionally belong to international maritime law. However, the author defines the concept of international Antarctic law as an intersectoral international legal institution with a certain independence within the framework of international territorial law. It is noted that the problems of Antarctica have gone beyond the cognitive interest of the academic community, moving into the context of a clash of geopolitical interests among states, which caused the attempts of five states to establish their sovereignty by means of sectoral division. The Antarctic Treaty of 1959 established a notification procedure for the establishment of Antarctic stations, the modern administrative regime is provided by the activities of institutional mechanisms. With about 100 Antarctic stations and bases opened by States, their international legal status remains uncertain. The problem has acquired particular importance because Russian stations are located in the sectors of territorial claims, which generates competitive processes. By concluding bilateral agreements with States that have put forward territorial claims, it is possible to partially neutralize the competition of jurisdictions in certain areas of cooperation. In the documents adopted by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings (ATC), attention is paid only to the problems of the station placement and issues of their verification during inspection activities. In order to fill the gap, the author proposed the definition of the Antarctic station as a legal enclave of the State, which is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the founding State and establishes immunity from the jurisdiction of other states. The maintenance and development of Russia’s presence in Antarctica is ensured by Russian Antarctic legislation. In order to develop the Russian expeditionary infrastructure (including Antarctic stations and field bases), it is important to develop and adopt a regulation on the status of the Russian Antarctic station, in connection with which measures to improve legislation are proposed.
Municipal Procedural Activity: Concept and Content
Authors: Zabelina E. P.
Published: May 2023

The paper presents the author’s vision of the content of municipal procedural activity, the grounds for its separation from the structure of general municipal activities carried out by local self-government entities when solving issues of local importance and other issues enshrined in Federal Law No. 131‑FZ of 06.10.2003 «On General Principles of Local Self-Government Organization in the Russian Federation». The author proposes to consider municipal procedural activity as dynamic purposeful, normatively conditioned activity of local self-government bodies carried out by adopting them in the development of the procedural norms of municipal legal procedural acts. These are to be contained in the laws and applying procedures that ensure the implementation of their powers to resolve issues of local significance and other normatively conditioned issues. This activity also means to include ensuring the implementation of local self-government and participation of bodies of territorial public self-government and other public associations. The author believes that the application of municipal procedures in practice is a legal condition for local selfgovernment bodies to resolve issues of local significance and other regulatory issues. Municipal procedural activity is an integral subspecies of municipal activity, which includes constituent, law-making, control, personnel, financial and other activities carried out by subjects of local self-government. The realization of municipal procedural activity is conditioned by the provisions of Part 3 of Article 132 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (as amended in 2020), which established the need for interaction between local self-government bodies and state authorities for the most effective solution of tasks in the interests of the population living in the relevant territory. The need to solve this problem increases the importance of scientific research on the problems of improving municipal procedural activity as a subspecies of procedural support for the activities of local self-government bodies.

The paper considers certain aspects of the classification of sexual crimes, due to the note to Article 131 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on equating persons under 12 years of age with those in a helpless state. Using practical examples, the features of various objective characteristics of sexual assaults are identified, combined on the basis of the analyzed note under the action of one norm — Article 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. By virtue of the note under study, indecent acts of persons in relation to the specified age, including those committed without contact, constituted the jurisdiction of the norm on violent acts of a sexual nature. The external circumstances of the acts that currently constitute violent sexual assaults indicate their significant difference. According to the author of the paper, a law enforcement officer should be able to impose punishment for a crime based on the immediate characteristics of the committed act, and, taking into account the broad collective construction of Article 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, be able to impose a less severe punishment than exists today. Reducing the terms in the considered compositions will make it possible, firstly, to proportionately determine the punishment for committing contactless intellectual (contactless) depraved acts against persons under the age of 12, and, secondly, restore the hierarchy of severity of punishments for acts, based on the importance of the good protected by law. Measures are proposed to change the legal technique of constructing the norms of Chapter 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, aimed at independently fixing violent acts of a sexual nature against persons under the age of 12. The author substantiates the expediency of including in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation an independent norm on violent crimes of a sexual nature committed against a minor.

The paper discusses the conceptual foundations of the legal regulation of relations related to the results of operational investigative activities. Taking into account the life cycle of the results of investigative activities, the following information processes (groups of public relations) are identified, the quality of legal regulation of which determines the possibility of their use and, accordingly, the achievement of the purpose of investigative activities and the purpose of criminal proceedings: the formation of the results of the investigative activities, the storage and destruction of the results of the investigative activities, the presentation of the results of the investigative activities, the use of the results of the investigative activities. The formation of the results of the investigative activities determines the existence of all subsequent social relations associated with them. At this stage, two groups of relatively isolated public relations have been identified: determining the existence of grounds and compliance with the conditions for conducting investigative activities; directly conducting an investigative activities and processing the results obtained. The quality of the legal regulation of these relations determines the possibility of stable formation of the results of the investigative activities and certainty in their assessment by the recipient. The presentation of the results of the investigative activities includes a set of public relations arising in connection with their transfer to the information environment external to the investigative activities. The legal regulation of these relations should ensure the protection of information about the investigative activities, thereby guaranteeing the sustainability of this activity as a whole. The use of investigative activities results includes public relations related to the introduction of investigative activities results and their adaptation to the requirements of legislation defining the recipient’s activities. The regulation of the processes of using the results of the investigative activities may provide additional requirements for them, but these must have objective grounds and can be transformed due to the improvement of the quality of the formation of the results of the investigative activities. It is proved that due to the heterogeneity of public relations related to the results of the investigative activities, there are no prerequisites for the formation of a single legal institution of the results of the investigative activities. Based on the analysis of theoretical ideas about the system of operational investigative law, the existence of separate legal institutions containing norms regulating these social relations is substantiated.

Background. Treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is accompanied by a number of organizational and tactical problems related to the multidisciplinary nature of the disease. Therefore, the use of classifications determining treatment tactics is necessary. The evaluation of treatment outcomes and efficacy should be conducted in accordance with the classification type of the lesion and decisions made based on the tactical algorithm.
Aim of the study to identify the dependence of long-tenn treatment outcomes of vertebral osteomyelitis on the type of lesion according to the modified Russian version of the E. Pola classification and the methods of treatment used.
Methods. The study analyzed the treatment results of 266 patients with vertebral osteomyelitis from 2006 to 2019. Type A lesions accounted for 24.1% (n = 64), type B 47.0% (n = 125), type C 26.3% (n = 70), and lesions of vertebral processes 2.6% (n = 7). Neurological disorders were detected in 53 observations (type C). Conservative treatment, debridement, and reconstructive surgeries were perfonned. The evaluation of results was carried out a year or more after discharge.
Results. The maximum effectiveness of conservative treatment was noted in uncomplicated courses and minor bone destruction. Conservative treatment of type A lesions led to recovery in 97.4% of cases compared to reconstructive operations (p = 0.002) and recurrences (p = 0.034). Mortality was higher after reconstructive interventions (p = 0.001). The highest number of fatal outcomes after debridement of the focus was observed in type B lesions 15.8% (p = 0.022). Analysis of type C lesions did not reveal significant differences between the methods of treatment used. The maximum number of unsatisfactory results was registered in patients with sepsis: mortality was 17.4%, and in its absence 4.9% (p = 0.039), recurrences 21.7% versus 7.8% (p = 0.043), recovery 56.6% versus 83.5% (p = 0.004), respectively. There were no significant differences in the assessments according to the ODI, NDI, SF-36 scales in the long tenn. The overall survival rate was 84.4%, and the long-tenn one was 90.4%, which increased with conservative treatment compared to reconstructive interventions (p = 0.045).
Conclusion. Conservative treatment and extra-focal fixation of the spine showed maximum effectiveness in low-destructive and uncomplicated lesions (type A). Reconstructive interventions lead to an increase in the number of recurrences and fatal outcomes. Debridement of the focus in septic course of type В lesions leads to an increase in hospital mortality. There were no statistically significant differences between the results of different treatment methods for type C lesions.
UNA POÉTICA FEMINISTA DESDE UNA NUEVA VISIÓN PICTÓRICA: «LAS MUSAS INQUIETANTES» DE CRISTINA PERI ROSSI
Authors: Nebot Vicente J.
Published: May 2023

A través de una original obra lírica, Las musas inquietantes (1999), Cristina Peri Rossi muestra su rebelión contra el papel reservado a la mujer en la sociedad patriarcal. Mediante el ejercicio ecfrástico, en que los poemas pretenden corresponder al arte pictórico, la escritora uruguaya reflexiona desde distintas perspectivas sobre la identidad femenina. Se analizan en el presente trabajo ejemplos de esta poética en clave de género.

Günümüzde tarım alanlarının azalmasına karşın nüfusun sürekli artması, yoksulluk, pandemi, savaşlar ve küresel ısınma gibi sorunlar gıda güvencesizliğini ve temiz su kaynaklarına erişimi daha da önemli hale getirmiştir. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada yeterli gıdaya ulaşamama durumunun ortalama yaşam süresi üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışmada panel veri analizi yöntemi kullanılmış, düşük ve düşük-orta gelir grubunda yer alan 58 ülke analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda yetersiz gıdaya erişim ile ilgili göstergelerin ortalama yaşam süresi üzerinde ne tür ve ne yönde bir etkiye sahip olduğunun tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda gıda açığı derinliğinde oluşabilecek %1 düzeyinde bir artışın ortalama yaşam süresinde %0,09’luk bir azalışa, aşırı yoksulluk düzeyinde oluşabilecek %1’lik bir artışın ortalama yaşam süresinde %0,18’lik bir azalışa, yetersiz beslenen nüfus oranında oluşabilecek %1’lik bir artışın ortalama yaşam süresinde %0,04’lük bir azalışa sebep olabileceği öngörülmektedir. Son olarak toplam ölüm içerisinde güvenli olmayan su kaynaklı ölüm sayısı ile ortalama yaşam süresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.
