Regional metageosystem management based on risk identification, analysis and monitoring
Authors: Yamashkin Anatoly , Yamashkin Stanislav
Published: November 2023

The article presents a solution to the problem of introducing spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and geoportal systems as a tool for solving the problem of integration, distribution and visualization of geospatial information. The role of geoportals is proved as a tool to support managerial decision-making in the field of ensuring the conditions for sustainable development. It is proposed to organize the SDI implementation process on the basis of identification, analysis and monitoring of risks. The risk management process can be integrated into the process of iterative implementation and use of the SDI as an input to the requirements analysis stage. The results of assessing the strength of risk events make it possible to form a set of controllable risks in the management of territorial systems. In this case, the results of the risk assessment stage become the starting point in solving the problem of designing functional and qualitative requirements for the infrastructure of spatial data as a tool for managing spatially distributed systems. The solution of the problem of optimizing the processes of using spatial data for solving management problems should be focused on achieving the target effects of SDI, while assessing and controlling the resource intensity and complexity of management processes. It is shown that an important feature of the approach is the focus on flexible organization of the process of developing geoinformation systems. The solution to the problem of effective iterative development of SDI is possible based on the observance of the SOLID principles, which determine the expediency of implementing the basic principles of object-oriented programming and design.
Analysis of the dynamics of condition forest plant communities in the “Makarovsky” nature sanctuary (Sakhalin Island) by remote sensing data
Authors: Melkiy Vyacheslav , Verkhoturov Alexey
Published: November 2023

The results of the analysis of changes in the state of forest plant communities in the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary in the period from 1980 to 2020 are presented in the article. In the process of our work there was created a model of the vegetation cover of the “Makarovsky” Sanctuary, which made it possible to determine the difference between plant communities and their condition. The data for the construction of the cartographic model were formalized spectral characteristics of the surface of plant communities recorded on Landsat-1–7 and Sentinel-2 images. In a specially protected natural area, 7 classes of objects have been identified when conducting uncontrolled classification using ArcGIS according by their spectral characteristics. The division of dark coniferous and deciduous forests, the identification of the boundaries of plots with different species composition of forest stands and the allocation of felling sites was performed on the basis of the normalized vegetation index (NDVI). The accuracy of determining the composition of forest stands based on the results of interpretation was checked by data of geobotanical research data on the territory of the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary. As part of the vegetation cover of the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary, 8 forest communities were identified—spruce-fir, stone-birch forests, cedar elfin formation, valley deciduous, birch, birch-spruce forests, woodlands, sometimes larch forests, and 2 non-forest communities—Kuril bamboo formation and meadow vegetation. Forest communities occupy 95 % of the territory of the “Makarovsky” Sanctuary. The landscape and climatic conditions of the area are optimal for the growth of spruce-fir forests, which cover 44 % of the total area of the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary. Birch and stone-birch forests (39 %) are widespread on logged land in Sanctuary. There is a wide distribution of secondary succession in the territory of the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary. The composition of forest stands in Sanctuary has changed significantly over the research period in favor of young coniferous trees. Vegetation in the “Makarovsky” Nature Sanctuary has preserved its natural pristine appearance and reflects both altitude differentiation and landscape-zonal features of the middle taiga subzone of Sakhalin. The use of satellite images of medium spatial resolution made it possible to accurately analyze the state of forests of the “Makarovsky” Sanctuary. More detailed researches require the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Comparative dynamics of individual glaciers of the Munku-Cardyk Massif (Eastern Sayan) and the Tzast-Ula Ridge (Mongolian Altai)
Authors: Kitov Aleksandr , Plyusnin Viktor
Published: November 2023

Continuing the study of modern glaciation on the example of individual mountain ranges of the inland part of Asia along the latitudinal transect from the Kodar Mountains to the Himalayas, this work considers the Tzast-Ula massif in the Mongolian Altai. These glaciers, as objects of the transect, represent its western part. The glaciers of northwestern Mongolia are studied by glaciologists, although not as detailed as the glaciers of the central part of Altai and the Tien Shan. It is interesting to consider their dynamics in comparison with other glacial massifs of the transect. In the Eastern Sayan, the most studied (more than 100 years) are the nival-glacial objects of the Munku-Sardyk range. In this paper, changes in glaciers at the main peaks of the Munku-Sardyk mountain range and the Tzast-Ula ridge are considered. Throughout the transect there is a reduction in glaciers and an increase in the intensity of armor by surface moraines. Moraine reservation of the lower part of the small glaciers of Tzast-Ula occurs, similar to the glaciers of Munku-Sardyk. According to the remote sensing data (Landsat), a comparison of the dynamics of both the entire massif and individual glaciers No. 7, 8 Tzast-Ula and glaciers No. 31 (Peretolchina) and No. 30 (Radde) was made, which shows that glaciers are shrinking to varying degrees. Since the mid-1970s, Glacier No. 7 has shrunk in area by 19 %, in length by about 5 %, No. 8 by 58 % and 31 %, respectively. The decrease in the area of the entire Tsambaragav massif on average took place at a speed of 0.31 km2/year. The glaciers of Tzast-Ula were shrinking unevenly at an average speed of 0.32 km2/year, losing 22 % of their area. The glaciers of the Munku-Sardyk massif are shrinking about 4 times slower. Over the past 20 years, the Peretolchina glacier has been shrinking in area at a rate of 0.005 km2/year, and for the entire observation period since 1900—0.004 km2/year. In length, during the same period, the glacier was shrinking at a rate of 5 m/year. The open part of the Peretolchina glacier from the final moraine of the end stage of the Little Ice Age decreased both in area and length by about half. Anomalous changes were detected in the glaciers under consideration in 2013–2015, both for the Tzast-Ula ridge and for Munku-Sardyk. By 2013–2014, there was an increase in the area of the open part of glaciers and the area of perennial snowfields and a sharp decrease after 2015, in some cases in the form of a descent of parts of glaciers.
Regional features of the formation of pyrological environments in the steppes of Northern Eurasia based on Firms data
Authors: Pavleichik Vladimir , Sivohip Zhanna , Padalko Yuriy
Published: November 2023

Grass fires are characteristic of the vast region of Northern Eurasia, covering the landscapes of the steppes and adjacent natural areas. The study of the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of fires makes it possible to identify and evaluate the leading factors of the occurrence and spread of fires. Pyrological research is of particular relevance due to the negative impact on various groups of steppe biota and the quality of the environment, the lack of an objective understanding of the causes of the high variability of fire development indicators. The main objective of the study was to identify regional features of the formation of pyrologic environments in the long-term and intraannual aspects. The global archive of thermal anomalies MCD14ML (FIRMS) was adopted as the main source of fire data and the analyzed parameter itself. It is revealed that a specific feature of the FIRMS data archive is the possibility of fixing active fires on arable land, which is almost impossible to carry out directly from satellite images. In this regard, the greatest density of thermal anomalies is observed in the agriculturally developed provinces (western sectors of the steppes and adjacent territories), for which the practice of agricultural bollards remains a traditional way of farming. A comparison of the long-term dynamics of fires in arable land and pasture-hayfields shows a close relationship. Similar results were obtained during the analysis of the intra-annual (daily) distribution of thermal anomalies, the peaks of which occur at the beginning and the period of completion of agricultural work. This serves as indirect evidence that uncontrolled agricultural fires are the cause of a significant part of steppe fires. Regional pyrological conditions in the steppes of Northern Eurasia and adjacent territories have similar features in long-term dynamics and reflect the complex nature of the interaction between natural and anthropogenic factors. Understanding current trends in the development of fires can contribute to solving the problems of managing fire-hazardous situations.
Geoinformation modeling of the human development index of OECD countries and their regions
Authors: Tikunov Vladimir , Gaidukov Vladislav
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the development of the Human development Index (HDI) in the framework of inter-territorial comparisons of the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and their regions. The processes of creating a basic cartographic basis for conducting geoinformation modeling of the human development index at the country and regional levels at the same time are considered. New features of the mathematical-cartographic modeling apparatus are revealed, the main conceptual difficulties of developing the thematic content of such modeling are described. Based on the analysis of the international and Russian versions of the human development index, the concept of thematic content of this index is proposed to ensure inter-territorial comparisons. Within the framework of geoinformation modeling, the results were obtained from the standpoint of general ideas about the differentiation of territories according to the values of the human development index. An approach to the integration of evaluation and typological models is proposed, which allowed not only to consider the typology of territories according to the degree of intensity of the values of the human development index indicators, but also to consider them in conjunction with the entire variety of index values within this type, which made it possible to give a comprehensive characteristic of the territory. The analysis made it possible to consider the territory from the standpoint of public health, the effectiveness of the system of secondary specialized and higher education, as well as to assess the size of the territory’s economy in relation to the population. On the basis of this, a number of the main problems of the territories were identified from the standpoint of the components of the human development index and a number of recommendations were given to those making managerial decisions within the framework of national and regional policy.

Published: November 2023

The technology of laser-induced selective metallization, or known as laser direct structuring (LDS), on a ceramic substrate was evaluated for the fabrication of antenna circuits. A sieving pattern was scanned by the near IR laser on the ceramic substrate, and electroless copper plating was carried out. Appropriate laser activation conditions were chosen to engrave a contrast pattern on ceramic sheet samples. A chosen condition was used to fabricate a line width evaluation pattern, and the results indicated that the feasible fine width could be as fine as 80 μm. This value was used as the design limit of the antenna circuits. The designed antenna circuit patterns were fabricated on the ceramic substrate, and the simulation and direct measurement of the antenna circuit were carried out. This evaluation indicates that the application of LDS technology on the ceramic substrate for the antenna circuits would be feasible.

Published: November 2023

The setting will have an effect on the child in several well-documented ways. There are a lot of babies that are born defective as the result of events before and during the course of their pregnancy and such circumstances are classified as teratogens. Teratogens are environmental agents that will disturb the conventional fetal development once the mother is exposed to them, leading to prenatal maldevelopment or death (Kalter, 2010). This study made used a descriptive survey design as a method of research. A descriptive design is a type of quantitative research. The main source of data for this study were the pregnant mothers who are having their pre-natal consultation which includes all primigravida, multigravida, first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester patients of Gov. Faustino N. Dy Sr. Memorial Hospital. The study excludes those who are not patients of the said institution and are unwilling to participate in the survey.  The research findings highlight the need for a comprehensive health education programs to address knowledge gaps and improve awareness among pregnant women. It is crucial to develop targeted educational initiatives that provide accurate information on the risks and consequences associated with teratogenic exposure during pregnancy. Collaborating with healthcare professionals and integrating teratogenic risk assessment and counseling into routine prenatal care can further enhance knowledge dissemination and informed decision-making.
Modulation of spin Hall magnetoresistance in α-Fe2O3/Pt by uniaxial tensile strain
Authors: Matsuki Junnosuke , Yokouchi Tomoyuki , Shiomi Yuki
Published: November 2023

We demonstrate the modulation of spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) by uniaxial tensile strain at RT in heterostructures of antiferromagnetic insulating (0001)-oriented α-Fe2O3 (hematite) and Pt. The SMR signals consistent with previous reports are observed in α-Fe2O3/Pt without strain. Under tensile strains, we found that the magnetoresistance amplitude changes almost linearly with the strain amplitude. The observed magnetoresistance change is attributed to the strain modulation of SMR owing to the change in domain distribution via magnetoelastic couplings. The results provide a useful method for controlling the spin-dependent transport effect in antiferromagnetic-insulator/metal bilayers.

Promiscuous Technologies: Shifting Notions of Gender and Sexuality in Nigeria’s Digital Public Sphere
Authors: Odedairo Olubukola Deborah
Published: November 2023

This paper critically examines the emergence of sexual technologies in Nigeria's digital public sphere. In particular, it explores how the use of sexual technologies like vibrators and dildos in public spaces is viewed as transgressive, and how cultural, social, and religious factors shape Nigerians' perceptions. The paper adopts the concept of transgressive publics to describe how social media enables minoritized groups to challenge dominant norms around sexuality. Two recent cases are analyzed – one involving a Nollywood actress publicly distributing dildos at an event, and another with a blogger recording Nigerian women using vibrators. To examine public discourse around these events, social media comments on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were collected and analyzed thematically. Key findings show sexual technologies are condemned as immoral, demonic, disrespectful to cultural values, and a threat to masculinity. Criticism relies heavily on moral and religious beliefs that cast non-normative sexual expressions as sinful. Reactions also expose gender anxieties related to female autonomy and shifting power relations. However, some pragmatic comments defend women's actions given Nigeria's difficult economic climate. While stigmatized, the public emergence of sexual technologies constitutes a transgressive public for asserting women's sexual agency and pushing boundaries. The study demonstrates how cultural narratives regulating sexuality are negotiated through technology, highlighting tensions between tradition and modernity.

The Village Fund policy is intended for villages to finance the implementation of village governance. For more than three years, the priority use of the Village Fund has been directed towards stunting prevention. However, it was identified that stunting prevention in three villages in Bunguran Tengah sub-district is still high. The assumption is that with the management of the Village Fund for stunting prevention in the three villages, it will decrease, if this continues, it will risk decreasing the level of productivity in the three villages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Village Fund Management Policy in Bunguran Tengah Sub-district, Natuna Regency, including an analysis of the factors that influence policy implementation, factors that hinder policy implementation, and efforts to overcome factors that hinder policy implementation.  The theory used as a basis for examining the focus of research, namely Policy Implementation Theory using the Donald P. Warwick Model, includes Enabling Factors consisting of Organizational Commitment, Organizational Capability, Information Quality, and Potential. The inhibiting factors consist of the number of actors involved in policy implementation, low commitment or dual loyalty, the inherent complexity of the policy (instrinsic complexity), too long decision-making levels, time and leadership changes. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. The determination of informants in this study was carried out by purposive sampling, including the Head of Service, Sub-District Head, Village Head, Community Empowerment Expert, Village Facilitator, Community Development Cadre (KPM), Community Leaders. Data analysis will be carried out with descriptive analysis using the stages of data analysis according to Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that the Village Fund Management Policy Implementation Process in Bunguran Tengah District, Natuna Regency, Riau Islands Province is running quite well, but not yet optimal. Influenced by factors of organizational commitment, organizational capability, quality of information, potential. Factors that hinder implementation include the low ability of human resources, Standard Operating Procedures in stunting prevention efforts in three villages have not been compiled as guidelines for the flow of work procedures, low commitment that occurs in leaders and implementers, decision-making levels that are too long, changes in leadership mean there is also the possibility of policy changes and the unavailability of supporting equipment, this results in less effective management of the Village Fund.

Methodological approaches to studying the service sphere productivity
Authors: Voytenko Olha A.
Published: November 2023

The article is dedicated to analyzing methodological approaches to assessing the productivity level of the service sector and the challenges that arise in their application. The author during the research examines the state of productivity assessment of the service sector in Ukraine as of today, in particular, the lack of systematic research on this issue at the state level. Also, the investigator describes the main peculiarities of services such as intangibility, the inseparability of the place of creation and consumption, the inconsistency of quality, and timelessness. They affect the evaluation of the productivity of this field of economic activity. In addition, the article describes important differences compared to classical performance measurement approaches that need to be considered, such as advanced technology, and customer involvement in service productivity. Likewise, the paper has characterized the issues that influence the quantity and quality of data necessary for measuring and analyzing the productive capacity of the service sector. There are issues related to determining the costs (input) for the production (provision) of a unit of service, determining the output of services, issues related to sizes (most of the services businesses are medium, small, or micro-enterprises), and geographical orientation (most of the businesses are focused on target groups of consumers located close to the place of service provision) of service sector enterprises, and others. The author underscores the influence of the category of quality and its variability on the measurement of service productivity and its partial indicators such as labor productivity, capital productivity, etc. Finally, the article outlines two main models (the first one proposed by Lashhof in 2006 and the other by Grönroos with Ojasalo in 2004), according to which scientists and researchers are suggested to form a methodological approach to the research of the service sector in the future. It has been established that the development and wide implementation of the new model will require significant changes in the system of collecting statistical indicators since its application is not possible without the accumulation of data on numerous small and micro enterprises, which today are often left out of calculations even by organizations such as the OECD.
Ensuring the economic security of the state by improving the policy of combating the financing of terrorism and armed conflicts

Published: November 2023

Combating the financing of terrorism and armed conflicts is a top priority in Ukraine to ensure its economic security. The institutional mechanism for the development and implementation of the policy of combating the financing of terrorism and armed conflicts covers a range of entities and the relations between them. In Ukraine, this institutional mechanism is at the stage of its creation and needs to be adjusted under the influence of new threats. The purpose of the article is to determine directions for improving the institutional framework of economic security of the state with regard to combating the financing of terrorism and armed conflicts. The methods of theoretical generalization, systematization, and comparative analysis were used in the process of research. The informational basis of the research includes the works of domestic researchers addressing the indicated problems. The article’s objective analysis of the areas of activity and competencies of the entities involved in the fight against terrorism, including its funding, proves the neglect of new changes and trends in terrorist threats. Taking into account the best European practices, the need to create a separate entity with a special status and powers, which will perform professional analytical and communication functions, as well as monitor threats directly related to terrorist funding, is emphasized. Such an entity can be presented in the form of a special body - the Agency for Combating Digital Threats and Terrorism. The existing Anti-Terrorist Center under the Security Service of Ukraine concentrates its activities and coordinates the work between the entities involved in the fight against terrorism. The proposed agency will monitor information on the Internet and work with the community in order to identify specific signs of terrorist activity, in particular regarding its funding. The use of modern identification and authentication mechanisms for transactions on the Internet will make it possible to identify users and create their digital footprints. With the help of big data analysis mechanisms, the Agency for Combating Digital Threats and Terrorism can create digital profiles of users and use them for predicate analysis that will prevent potentially criminal activities. The proposed direction for the improvement of the institutional mechanism of the policy of combating the financing of terrorism and armed conflicts with the use of new technologies and objects (including in the field of activities on the Internet and processing of cryptocurrency assets), which are produced by modern digital systems, should be implemented taking into account the requirements of international institutions in this sphere.
Food security in times of war: problems and ways of ensuring it in Ukraine
Authors: Patytska Khrystyna O.
Published: November 2023

The peculiarities of the manifestation of the food crisis in Ukraine in times of war are investigated and the foreign experience and the experience of international organizations and political institutions in overcoming it are analyzed. The analysis is based on the concept of food security developed by the UN, which defines it as sustainable physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. It also uses the comprehensive approach with four pillars of food security: food availability, access, utilization, and stability. In the context of the study of food security in Ukraine, two areas for analysis are identified: a decrease in the availability of food for the population and a violation of nutritional stability; a decrease in the economic access of the population to food and essential goods. The article focuses on the issue of economic access to food for vulnerable groups of the population (including internally displaced persons and people living near the demarcation line, and in the occupied and liberated territories), compares the incomes of households of internally displaced persons in Ukraine at different moments since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia in February 2022, and presents the results of the assessment of the population's food needs in Ukraine. The prevalence of food insecurity and the ongoing fight against it at the international level have made it possible to develop clear mechanisms to overcome it. Based on numerous studies and taking into account the experience of countries where the food crisis was caused by natural disasters or the impact of climate factors and states whose territories became the arena of military conflicts, in the context of finding ways to overcome the food crisis, the author examines the comprehensive approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to achieving food security in crisis conditions, which combines two areas: Sustainable development of rural areas and stimulation of agriculture; development and implementation of targeted programs to provide direct access to food for vulnerable groups. The areas of the comprehensive approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations are defined as complementary and aimed at reinforcing each other's positive results. Moreover, the article analyzes the European Union's approach to rural development in the Common Agricultural Policy, which provides for the definition of two equally important directions: support and stimulation of the agricultural sector; strengthening the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of rural areas in the context of overcoming the risks inherent in this type of territory.

This study investigates the prevalent diseases and pests, bole form and branching habit of Gmelina arborea among different populations in Madhya Pradesh. Eextensive field surveys were carried out to identify the natural and planted populations of Gmelina arborea. Based on these surveys three natural populations viz Betul, Mandla and Jabalpur Population and five planted populations Sonaghati, Badhaura, Saraswahi, Neemkheda and Barha were selected for the present investigation. Observations of the bole form of trees was recorded visually as Crooked, less crooked, nearly straight, straight. Branch angle was visually observed and observation is recorded 300, 450, 600 and 900. Disease and pest incidence was visually assessed and intensity of the observations are recorded as Heavy infection, Moderate infection, Low infestation, A healthy tree with no attack. Considerable variation among the qualitative traits was observed among population under study. most straight and nearly straight trees found in planted population than natural populations. 900 and 600 branch angles were observed more in plantation than natural populations. More no of healthy tree and tree with low infestation was observed in plantation. Agroclimatic zones of Satpura plateau performs better for bole form. Kymore plateau and Satpura hills agroclimatic zones performs well in case of branching angle and health status. Northen hill zones of Chhattisgarh underperforms as far as qualitative traits are concerned.
Exploring Underbalance Drilling: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: - Gaurob Kalita
Published: November 2023

Underbalance Drilling (UBD) is an advanced drilling technique employed in oil and gas industry to improve well productivity and reduce formation damage. In conventional drilling, overbalance conditions are maintained in order to prevent the influx of formation fluids. In contrast, UBD involves maintaining a
hydrostatic pressure lower than the formation pressure during drilling operations. UBD offers several advantages, such as increasing drilling rates, reducing formation damage, improving wellbore stability. By preventing the flow of drilling fluids in to the formation, UBD reduces the risk of formation plugging
and improves the recovery of hydrocarbons. This technique is particularly beneficial for depleted reservoirs or formations prone to lost circulation problems. Despite its advantages, proper planning and execution are essential for UBD to manage the associated risks, such as wellbore stability challenges and the potential for unexpected influx of formation fluids. UBD involves the use of specialized equipment such as BOPs, RCDs to manage the hydrostatic pressure of well and control the influx of formation fluids.
In conclusion, a comprehensive understanding of UBD is essential for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery alongside a commitment to operational safety and environmental sustainability in the ever- changing landscape of the oil and gas industries.

The manufacturing industry is the pillar industry of modern industry, and the cost estimation of manufacturing enterprises is an important management means of the manufacturing industry. Aiming at the cost estimation problem of manufacturing enterprises, this research proposes a cost estimation method based on Back Propagation (Back Propagation) neural network and big data analysis. In the process, the Lambda architecture was used to construct the big data analysis architecture of manufacturing enterprises, the K-means clustering algorithm was introduced for data clustering, and then the genetic algorithm was combined with the Back Propagation neural network to estimate the cost. In the estimation accuracy test, the accuracy of the research method can reach 94.7% after 240 iterations; in the calculation time test, the calculation time of the research method is 403 Ks when the data size is 500 Gb in a large-scale data set; in the call data volume test, the call data volume of the research method is 164 Kb when the research method is carried out to the seventh step in the small-scale data set; when the application analysis is carried out, the research method completes accurate cost estimation for 9 target parts. This research method has good model performance and calculation accuracy, and can effectively estimate manufacturing enterprises’ costs.

Published: November 2023

At the end of the XV–XVI centuries, Russian religious and secular thinkers discussed a number of issues related to the formation of a sovereign state, the formation of a permanent army subordinate to the head of state, the organization of power, administration and judicial proceedings in the country. The topic of righteous judgment, discussed back in the XI–XIII centuries, was not only in demand, but also became the focus of attention of prominent thinkers and publicists of that time. The authors analyze the works of Russian philosophers who defined the foundations of the doctrine of justice in Russia of the late Middle Ages and have not lost their significance in the modern period. The scientific article completes the cycle “Medieval Russian thinkers about justice”, which includes articles besides it: “The first words about justice in Russia (The Election of 1076 and ‘Bee’)” and “Russian thinkers of the XI–XIII centuries about justice”. Knowledge of the past is important for the future and allows not to repeat its mistakes, and therefore the problem chosen for research remains relevant and needs further study.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of the article is to show that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the justice mechanism, any of its links and its as a whole, cannot be simple. Moreover, an objective assessment is hardly possible, at least at the present stage of development of legislation, judicial practice and legal science. Awareness of such a situation should eliminate the temptation to solve the problem in simple ways, especially on the basis of a subjective understanding of the criteria for the effectiveness of the justice mechanism. At the same time, it is noted that an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the links of the justice mechanism is vital not only within the judiciary, but also to Russian society as a whole. A brief review of scientific sources on the problem under consideration is carried out. The article considers three levels of problems of evaluating the effectiveness of the justice mechanism: 1) directly the judicial activity of courts and judges; 2) clarification of the governing bodies of the judiciary on judicial activities; 3) the work of bodies and other structures that ensure the judicial activity of courts and judges, both direct and indirect. In the author’s understanding, the problems of objective assessment of the work of judges, judicial structures and judicial boards, as well as courts at each of these levels are called.
Replacing the Unserved Part of the Punishment with a Milder Type of Punishment: The Practice of Application and Ways to Improve

Published: November 2023

Replacing the unserved part of the sentence with a milder type of punishment as a type of early release from further serving a sentence is relevant in the context of the humanization of domestic criminal and penitentiary policy, as well as in demand by modern judicial practice. This institution performs a number of important tasks to correct and stimulate the law-abiding behavior of convicts, which causes interest in the identified problems of law enforcement of its norms and the search for ways to solve them. The article uses the results of a sociological study conducted by the author from January to May 2023. The aim of the work is to study the practice of applying the replacement of the unserved part of the punishment with a milder type of punishment and to determine ways to improve it. The methodological basis of the study was the empirical method, the statistical method, the comparative legal method, the method of interpretation of legal norms, the methods of formal and dialectical logic. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the doctrinal positions of scientists, the current regulatory framework, the criminal legislation of foreign countries, statistical data, materials of judicial practice, the results of a sociological study conducted by the author, specific ways are proposed to improve the replacement of the unserved part of the punishment with a milder type of punishment, including additions and amendments to Art. 80 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
