FEATURES OF THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF CREATIVITY BY CONVICTED PRISONERS
Authors:   I.N. Barmashov Institute of the Academy of the FPS of Russia, Barmashov I.N.
Published: January 2021

In the article analyses the current status of the exercise of the right to freedom of creativity by persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty, taking into account the restrictions provided for by criminal law and court precedents. A conclusion is drawn on the need to expand the legal boundaries of creative activity by convicts in places of deprivation of liberty during their personal leisure, primarily by organizing legal access to certain tools and materials designed to produce the results of creative activity. The question is raised about the possibility of providing the results of creative activities created by convicts to imprisonment with a special legal regime involving their free circulation between convicts in correctional institutions.

Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the problems of sovereignty and statehood. Much attention is paid to the teachings of the French lawyer and theologian Jean Bolin, who first introduced the concept of sovereignty. Other versions of the concept of sovereignty that were developed in the late middle ages in European countries, as well as the modern concept of sovereignty and statehood, are also considered. Specific examples of the geopolitical confrontation between the Russian Federation and the United States are given, which, in the author's opinion, contribute to the violation of generally accepted principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. The author focuses on the sovereignty of the young States of the South Caucasus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, comparing their statehood and sovereignty with some UN-recognized States. For example, Bhutan, Burundi, Cameroon, etc. Some modern States, such as the Russian Federation, China, Turkey, and some others, are actually fighting for the full sovereignty of their States and are thus in conflict with the United States.

Authors:   A.T. Ragimov Dagestan State University, Ragimov A.T.
Published: January 2021

The issues of improving the system of public administration are particularly relevant in times of radical restructuring of the state-legal superstructure of society. The changes taking place in Russia and its regions as a whole did not always correspond unambiguously to reality. This article discusses some proposals aimed primarily at improving the efficiency of management processes at the regional level – in the Republic of Dagestan. As such, two interrelated projects are analyzed: project management and lean government. Priority development projects of the Republic covered all significant areas of Dagestan society and were aimed at achieving tangible results. The author also points out the problems with their implementation due to insufficient elaboration and political instability in the Republic. The implementation of the pilot project "lean government" should optimize the work of state bodies. A significant difference between the project is that it is a system product.

Participation of the state in joint-stock companies is one of the specific features of the modern economic system of Russia, inherited from the command-administrative system of the USSR economy. Today, most of the "top" blue chip companies on the country's stock markets are public companies with government participation. In the article, the authors investigate the main problems of the administrative and financial nature of state participation in joint-stock companies and suggest ways to solve them. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research in the scientific article was the work of both Russian and foreign experts in the field of law, corporate governance, regulatory documents on the topic of research, as well as materials from periodicals of leading legal scholars. The main research methods used in writing the work were: methods of observation, comparison, induction, deduction and monographic (descriptive). The results of the study can be used in the study and classification of the problems of state participation in joint stock companies, in the search for specific proposals by the authors to improve efficiency in the field of administrative and financial legislation.
EXTREME NEED AS AN INSTITUTE OF SELF-DEFENSE IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Authors:   S. N. Keramova Dagestan State University, Keramova S. N.
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the features of such a measure of self-defense as the institution of extreme necessity in administrative law, and examines judicial practice in such cases. It is stated that extreme necessity is a circumstance that excludes administrative responsibility of a person for the committed offense. Criteria of extreme necessity are listed. It is noted that the Code of administrative offences of the Russian Federation contains conditions for the use of extreme necessity. The need for three conditions to exclude the illegality of an administrative offense and release a person from administrative responsibility is identified and justified. It is concluded that extreme necessity as an institution of self-defense in administrative law is an important protective regulator and is applied when there is a real danger to the interests protected by law, which cannot be eliminated by other means.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE LEGISLATION OF THE USA AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON CIVIL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY GOODS WITH INCREASED HAZARDOUS PROPERTIES
Authors:   S.M. Salikhova Daghestan State University, Salikhova S.M. , Shakhaeva A.M. ,   A.M. Shakhaeva Daghestan State University
Published: January 2021

The relevance of the consideration of the problem of civil liability for harm caused by goods with increased hazardous properties is determined by the fact that such cases occupy an increasingly important place in judicial practice. This shows that not only the legal awareness of citizens is growing, but the very definition of “goods with increased dangerous properties” does not have all the principles of specificity. In this regard, one can turn to the experience of other countries, especially those where consumer protection has proven effective. The United States is one of such countries, where not only the culture of consumption is high, but also the legal culture. This combination allows the American legal system to respond to citizens ’appeals in a timely manner and resolve issues with an objective review of cases where liability for damage caused by goods with increased dangerous properties is considered. In the United States, the definition of civil liability for manufacturers and sellers of goods and services is governed by federal and state laws. Moreover, it is the laws of the states in most cases that govern the most important aspects related to determining the shortage of goods, services and work. It should be noted the importance of the precedent in the US legal system, which also determines many cases for determining civil liability for harm caused by some properties of goods. To compare the fundamentals of the legislation of the two countries in the studied area, the comparative legal research method was applied, which allows us to highlight general and excellent legislative norms. Based on the results of the comparison, it was concluded that the similarities and differences between the American and Russian legislation in terms of civil-steam liability for damage caused by goods with dangerous properties.

Authors: Eberle Claudia , Stichling Stefanie , Löhnert Maxine
Published: January 2021

Background

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and associated morbidity worldwide justifies the need to create new approaches and strategies for diabetes therapy. Therefore, the ongoing digitalization offers novel opportunities in this field.

Objective

The aim of this study is to provide an updated overview of available technologies, possibilities, and novel insights into diabetes therapy 4.0.

Methods

A scoping review was carried out, and a literature search was performed using electronic databases (MEDLINE [PubMed], Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science). The results were categorized according to the type of technology presented.

Results

Different types of technology (eg, glucose monitoring systems, insulin pens, insulin pumps, closed-loop systems, mobile health apps, telemedicine, and electronic medical records) may help to improve diabetes treatment. These improvements primarily affect glycemic control. However, they may also help in increasing the autonomy and quality of life of people who are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

Conclusions

Diabetes technologies have developed rapidly over the last few years and offer novel insights into diabetes therapy and a chance to improve and individualize diabetes treatment. Challenges that need to be addressed in the following years relate to data security, interoperability, and the development of standards.
Single-choice or multiple true false questions (Kprime):Direct comparison of online tests in pharmacology over one year (Preprint)
Authors: Neumann Joachim , Simmrodt Stephanie , Bader Beatrice , Opitz Bertram , Gergs Ulrich
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

There remain doubts about whether multiple choice answer formats (single choice) offer the best option to encourage deep learning or whether SC formats simply lead to superficial learning or cramming. Moreover, cueing is always a drawback in the SC format. Another way to assess knowledge is true multiple-choice questions in which one or more answers can be true and the student is not aware of how many true answers are to be anticipated (K´ or Kprime question format).

OBJECTIVE

Here, we compared both single-choice answers (one true answer, SC) with Kprime answers (one to four true answers out of four answers, Kprime) for the very same learning objectives in a study of pharmacology in medical students.

METHODS

Two groups of medical students were randomly subjected to a formative online test: group A) was first given 15 SC (#1-15) followed by 15 different Kprime questions (#16-30). The opposite design was used for group B.

RESULTS

The mean number of right answers was higher for SC than for Kprime questions in group A (10.02 vs. 8.63, p < 0.05) and group B (9.98 vs. 6.66, p < 0.05). The number of right answers was higher for nine questions of SC compared to Kprime in group A and for eight questions in group B (pairwise T-Test, p < 0.05). Thus, SC is easier to answer than the same learning objectives in pharmacology given as Kprime questions. One year later, four groups were formed from the previous two groups and were again given the same online test but in a different order: the main result was that all students fared better in the second test than in the initial test; however, the gain in points was highest if initially mode B was given.

CONCLUSIONS

Kprime is less popular with students being more demanding, but could improve memory of subject matter and thus might be more often used by meidcal educators.
Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals Contaminated Soil in Artisanal Gold Mining at Selogiri, Wonogiri District, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Madyo Pranoto Bambang Suryo , Budianta Wawan
Published: January 2021

Artisanal gold mining (ASGM) is commonly found in Indonesia, particularly in Wonogiri District, Central Java. One of the impacts of ASGM activity is soil contamination influence by mining waste. The objective of this study to investigate the potential use of Amaranthus spinosus L. and Jatropha curcas for remediation of Pb and As in contaminated soil. Phytoremediation experiment was conducted by using Amaranthus spinosus L. and Jatropha curcas and evaluate the effectiveness of both plants as a hyperaccumulator. The result shows that the higher Pb and As concentration was found in roots rather than shoots in both plants, however, the use of Jatropha curcas seems more effective on reducing Pb and As concentrations more than Amaranthus spinosus L in both shoots and roots. Generally, the use of both hyperaccumulator plants was more effective in Pb remediation compared to As. This phytoremediation experiment revealed that the use of both hyperaccumulator plants reduces the concentrations of Pb and As in contaminated soil, which of the critical point leading to the entry of Pb and As into the food chain.

Published: January 2021

The study analyzed beef marketing in song local government area of Adamawa state Nigeria. Data for the study were primary generated from the respondents through structured questionnaire which spanned for six months (July, - December 2019). Descriptive statistics (frequency count and percentages) and Net Marketing Income (NMI) were used to analyzed the data. The results shows that beef marketing is dominated by males, middle aged, married, experienced and fairly educated people. It also shows that beef marketing is profitable, because, averagely beef marketers were generating N116.64 per kilogram of beef marketed and a marketing ratio of 0.35. This revealed that for any one naira invested in beef, marketers were making 35 kobo as profit. Identified problems affecting beef marketing in the area include credit recovery, sales on credit to bulk buyers and end users, poor access to credit, poor road network, high transportation cost, inadequate access to credit facilities, inadequate market information and in effective storage and preservation facilities which lead to beef spoilage and high risk of losses especially for unsold beef. The study concludes that, beef is marketed through simple but in effective channels in the area despite the fact that it is a profitable venture. The study therefore recommended that; rural –urban roads should be improved to minimize cost and ease movement of produce, credit facilities should be made available and affordable for beef marketers, to facilitate acquisition of storage/preservation and other modern marketing facilities.

The oral series of framed stories that developed on the basis of the literary collection “The Magic Dead” are well-known in the oral tradition of Oirats in China and Kalmyks in Russia. However, the Kalmyk collection of framed stories of the Kalmyk story-teller M. Burinov has been in the focus of Mongolian Studies research several times, whereas the collection of framed stories of Oirat story-teller O. Bayaka has been unavailable to local researchers until recently. The information about the recording, publication and the content of the Sinkiang version of the oral series of the framed stories is given in the article for the first time. The comparative analysis of the plot in the Sikiang and Kalmyk versions enables us to conclude that the first version as well as the second version emerged from the written version of the collection of framed stories “The Magic Dead”.

Миф о рождении Гесера в мир (сравнительный анализ с текстом «Рамаяны» и биографией Будды)
Authors:   Institute of Ethnic Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Khabunova Evdokia E. ,   Kalmyk State University named after B. B. Gorodovikov
Published: January 2021

All the chapters of the Mongolian “Geser” contain the theme of the hero’s birth the structure of which consists of several narrative elements: Khormusta sends one of his sons to the Earth in order to save the living beings; the prophesy about Geser’s birth is made at the foot of “obo” on the Earth; the immaculate conception and the uncommon birth of the hero. The same narrative elements are used in the birth of the hero’s subject in Tibetan “Geser”. There are doubtless similarities in the pattern of hero’s birth both in Tibetan and Mongolian eposes, however, there are visible differences. In these epic texts there are topics common to all heroic legends: childless elderly parents, begging a child from gods, an immaculate conception and an unusual birth of the hero. The same structure is used in the birth of the hero in the Indian “Ramayana”, however, the content has its distinct peculiarity. The analysis of the biography of Buddha showed that in the topic of Buddha’s birth the same narrative elements are used. The study gives a comparative analysis of the content of the hero’s birth in Mongolian “Geser”, Tibetan “Geser”, Idian “Ramayana” and the Buddha Shakyamuni’s biography.

Introduction. The article discusses the Oirat and Tibetan texts of Avalokiteshvara divination. Goals. The paper aims to introduce the Oirat fortune-telling text (which was in use in Western Mongolia) and its Tibetan version into scientific circulation. The divination is instrumental in studying religious practices and beliefs of the Oirats of Western Mongolia. Materials. Materials for the article were obtained from two sources. The Oirat text was borrowed from the collection titled The Light of Clear Script Texts (Mong. Tod Nomin Gerel) which is stored on the website of the Digital Library for International Research. The Tod Nomin Gerel Collection comprises digital copies of various Oirat-language texts written in ‘Clear Script’ and those of Tibetan-language ones. The Tibetan divination text was obtained by the author during language training in Ulaanbaatar in 2012-2013 from Amarbayasgalan Ulzibat, resident of Ulaanbaatar. Methods. The article employs the comparative method and that of contextual analysis. Results. A comparison of the Oirat and Tibetan texts makes it possible to assume that the Tibetan text is a translation from Mongolian/Oirat. This practice was inherent to Mongolian society. Thus, the study is of interest due to an opportunity to get comparative insights into fortune-telling traditions of Tibet and Mongolia, as well as the process of generating such texts and translation practices in traditional society.
К семиотической интерпретации мифологического образа древа Аал Луук мас в эпосе олонхо
Authors:   Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Satanar Marianna T.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. Interpretation of sign systems inherent to archaic texts of Olonkho epic remains an important issue within Yakut epic studies. The situation is complicated by the ongoing penetration of network structures into all spheres of human activity in modern society, and requires further systemic studies in the nature of mythological consciousness. The article examines the mythological image of Aal Luuk mas Tree which steadily functions in mythological contexts of the Yakut Olonkho epic. As is known, the ‘pith and marrow’ of any phenomenon can be comprehended only through the study of its formation. So, the work analyzes all stages of the development of the image, starting with the sources proper. Goals. The research aims to identify the sequence of stages in the formation of the mythological image of Aal Luuk mas, determine the model archetype within the ethnic mythopoetic consciousness, and demonstrate modeling and structuring functions thereof as the main generating idea in the Sakha view of the world. Materials and Methods. The work considers mythological views of the Sakha people reflected in Yakut Olonkho epic texts, and employs an interdisciplinary approach that includes various methods of modeling, structural-semiotic analysis, and deduction. Results. The stadial research shows that Olonkho texts contain fragments of mythological cosmogenesis, archaic motifs of the world egg, world sea, elements of zoomorphic space, anthropomorphic characters to have preceded the era of the Tree ― to further shape a complex image of Aal Luuk mas as a model that structures a multilevel Universe. The work mentions a geometric representation of the Tree in the form of a static pyramid and a dynamic cone identical to the Olonkho epic model of the world discovered by the author in previous studies. The paper concludes that in addition to the well-known ideas about the image of Aal Luuk mas as a symbol of fertility and the eternal cycle of life and death, the form and content of this archaic image largely determined the emergence of many sign systems nowadays integral to Yakut material and spiritual culture. And this circumstance proves instrumental in recognizing an invariant archetype scheme with the preservation of semantic ‘valencies’ in modern texts of the tradition, thus indicating further research prospects.

Introduction. The paper briefly reviews the current state and prospects of Mongolian studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies (RAS) that celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2018. The Institute maintains and strengthens its positions as a leading national and global research center for Oriental studies. Goals. The study attempts at summarizing the Institute’s 2010–2020 experiences in developing Mongolian studies as a traditional branch of Russia’s Oriental studies, characterizing the present state and development prospects with due regard of actual achievements, challenges, and problems. Materials and Methods. The work analyzes scholarly publications authored by associates of the Mongolian Studies Unit (Department of Korean and Mongolian Studies) and other departments of the Institute in 2010–2020, including operating archives ― through the use of historical, chronological, descriptive, analytical and other methods. Results. The study shows that despite a number of objective and subjective difficulties, associates of the Institute keep developing Mongolian studies exploring some topical and understudied issues of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary Mongolia; providing comprehensive insights into present-day political, socioeconomic, and cultural frameworks of Mongolia proper and Russia-Mongolia relations. Still, the Institute ― and specifically the Mongolian Studies Unit ― experiences a critical shortage of qualified young Mongolists, and if the problem remains unsolved respective research perspectives should encourage no optimism. The number of highly experienced Mongolists and Orientalists that conduct research activities on a range of Mongolia-related issues (history, historiography, source studies, discoveries and publications of new sources, written monuments and archives, philology, etc.) affiliated thereto is small enough. The former publish their scholarly works and actively cooperate with colleagues from similar scientific and educational organizations of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Elista, Kyzyl, Vladivostok and other Russian cities; establish relations with foreign humanities research centers of Mongolia, China, Japan, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, etc. Chronologically, the review covers the period between 2010 and 2020, and characterizes key changes in staff composition; shows fundamental research trends; summarizes outcomes of scholarly, organizational and publishing activities; mentions main joint and individual monographs authored (published) by associates of the Department of Korean and Mongolian Studies in 2010–2020. The paper specifies basic development problems faced by Mongolian studies in the context of Oriental studies as such, provides conclusions and prognoses for further evolution of this research line at the Institute of Oriental Studies (RAS).

Introduction. The article analyzes vestiges of the fox cult among Bashkirs. The animal used to be a most revered one in religious and mystical beliefs of the nation. Goals. The work seeks to study the fox cult in all its manifestations in everyday life and economic activities on the basis of folklore, ethnographic and other materials. The main sources involved are ethnographic, folklore, linguistic publications, as well as the author’s field data. Methods. The research rests on theoretical, retrospective and comparative historical analyses of the mentioned sources. Results. The study is first to analyze various data on the fox cult among Bashkirs, which makes it possible to reconstruct some aspects of Bashkir ethnic history and is also instrumental in identifying the historical and genetic roots of ethnic spiritual culture. The paper employs new folklore and ethnographic materials, and introduces them into scientific discourse. Conclusions. The traditional ethnic worldview contains the idea of kinship and identity between Bashkirs and the fox; the former proclaims a possibility of mutual reincarnation and somewhat absence of any fundamental difference between the latter ― all this to constitute the essence of the ancient man’s ideas about his place in the world. Folklore and rituals maintain vestiges of faith that individual clan groups are descended from the fox. When viewed as a totemic ancestor, the fox takes on the roles of a patroness, protector, adviser and helper of people that gives health, prosperity and family happiness. Bashkir oral literature contains materials that recognize the fox as a zoomorphic deity, the mistress of nature and personification of the sun. In everyday traditions and folk choreography, there are traces of a totemic ritual of honoring the fox as a totem and totemic ancestor. Being a sacred creature, the fox was a tabooed animal in customs and beliefs of the Bashkirs.
Responsabilidad civil por daños causados por especímenes caninos potencialmente peligrosos
Authors: Gatica Rodríguez María Paz
Published: January 2021

By analysing the new rules contained in the Responsible Possession of Pets and Company Animals Act and its administrative regulation, together with our Civil Code’s related rules, it is argued that from a civil liability perspective, the new dispositions raise important questions from two different viewpoints. First, from the viewpoint of the construction of the rules, it is held that their scope is unjustifiably restricted; some inconsistencies in the configuration of the conduct of having a potentially dangerous animal are detected; and the inexplicable differences between the two ways of qualifying a dog as potentially dangerous are discussed. Secondly, from the utility perspective, it is held that the limited effects of assimilating a potentially dangerous dog to a ferocious animal, coupled with the fact that it is easier to obtain a judicial declaration of a dog as such, will result in disputes being solved according rules in force before the enactment of the Act.

The importance of color in different national cultures has been described by many researchers from various scientific fields. A particular color is often given certain meanings, however these meanings and interpretations vary enormously in different cultures. The collective consciousness of a linguistic community attributes the features that it considers typical to a certain color. It this paper, two colors are considered - white and red, which can be viewed as cultural markers having important cultural value for many nations. The experiment was aimed to identify images that arise in the minds of Spaniards, Ecuadorians and Americans when a stimulus of a color name appears as well as to find their similarities and differences. The symbolism of these colors was identified by means of free associative experiment and further investigated in accordance with certain features (abstract or substantive; positive, negative or neutral) and associative field zones. The obtained results demonstrate similarities and differences in the number of associates and their distribution within the features and zones as well as some divergences from the color world picture traditional for the three cultures.

The article describes the mistakes most often encountered among novice designers. The lack of competence in the field of graphic design among specialists in various fields gives rise to the creation of graphic images (within the framework of professional tasks) abound in verbal rather than graphic language. As a result, graphic design objects abound in business speech cliche, which gives rise to bad patterns for use as a methodological base in preparing students.
