Stage Repertoire of the Soviet Regional Theater During the Period of Late Socialism
Authors: Zaelskaya S. A.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. Addressing the repertoire policy of theaters is relevant due to the fact that the study of the repertoire allows us to trace not only the main directions of artistic processes, but also the specifics of social changes of the era being studied.

Purpose of the study: to study the specifics of the process of formation and implementation of the stage repertoire of theaters in the Urals in the political and ideological conditions of «developed socialism».

Objectives. To achieve the research goal, the following tasks were formulated: to characterize the general principles of the formation of the stage repertoire and the practical mechanism for its compilation; study the themes and genre structure of the repertoire plans of regional theaters in the late Soviet period.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was a systemic-historical approach, which allows us to study repertory policy as a system functioning in the socio-political environment of the era of late socialism.

Results. The stage repertoire was an expression of the creative search of theater groups, carried out in conditions of compromise with the official policy of the state, the ruling party and the natural course of the artistic and aesthetic process. From the point of view of ideology and adherence to party guidelines, «mature ideological and artistic» and «box office» works stood out in the repertoire plans of theaters. The leading place was occupied by the plays of modern Soviet playwrights. The national orientation of the theaters of the multinational Urals was manifested in the embodiment of the works of national playwrights on the stages. A feature of the era was the introduction of plays for children and youth into the repertoire of not only theaters specializing in youth audiences, but also opera and drama groups.

Conclusion. The repertoire of the Ural theaters was represented by a variety of works and was built taking into account the requirements of the era. The implementation of the repertoire policy of theaters contributed to the involvement of various socio-demographic groups of the population in the theatrical process, the expansion and complexity of the cultural space of the era under study.

Authors: Kulakova D. V.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. In 2018, the Institute of the Commissioner for Consumer Rights of Financial Services was established in the Russian Federation. The number of financial services provided to consumers is undoubtedly growing, and the number of cases of violation of citizens' rights by financial market organizations is also increasing. The Financial Commissioner is established to protect the rights of consumers, he considers disputes between consumers of financial services and financial organizations. The importance of the institution of the Commissioner for the Rights of Consumers of Financial services is increasing, which can be seen in the increase in the number of incoming appeals. However, studies of the legal nature of the institute have not been adequately reflected in legal science, which determines the relevance of this research topic.

The purpose is to determine the legal nature of the institution of the Commissioner for the Rights of Consumers of Financial Services in the Russian Federation.

Objectives: based on the analysis of the regulatory legal framework and scientific literature to determine the main activities of the Institute of financial Ombudsman to establish the essence of its legal nature.

Methodology. In the course of the work, the methods of theoretical research (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, mental modeling), as well as the statistical method were used.

Results. In the course of the study, the author proposed an understanding of the legal nature of the institution of the financial commissioner as a complex legal phenomenon, including human rights and quasi-judicial legal components.

Conclusions. According to the results of the study, conclusions are drawn that the key areas of activity of the Institute of Financial Commissioner are the protection of the rights of consumers of financial services and dispute resolution. The Commissioner for the Rights of Consumers of Financial Services is a human rights body that embodies the guarantee of the state for the protection and observance of the rights and interests of consumers by financial organizations. The Financial Commissioner acts as a judge in the dispute, upon the outcome of the consideration of the case, makes a binding decision aimed at resolving the dispute, restoring justice and based on regulatory legal acts.
The Views of Representatives of the Party and Political Activists of the Kursk Province on the Change in the Social Structure of the Urban Population (1918–1921)
Authors: Petrov N. V.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. At the present stage of development of the Russian Federation, the preservation of historical truth is one of the main directions of state policy. Statements about the need to return the state ideology allow us to judge the relevance of referring to the experience of the early Soviet period, when communist doctrine became the basis for the formation of a new model of the state, which subsequently achieved considerable success on the world stage in various fields. The urban population has become a pillar for revolutionary transformations, which arouses interest in studying the views of representatives of regional authorities on the problems of the development of the social structure of society.

The purpose – to reveal the specifics of the evolution of the public views of the party and political activists of the region on the social composition of the urban population of the Kursk province from 1918 to 1921.

Objectives: based on the analysis of archival documents, to identify general trends in the formation of the social structure of the urban population of the Kursk province.

Methodology. In the process of working on the research, the basic principles of historical science were used: historicism, objectivity and consistency. General scientific methods were also applied (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical method), special historical methods: historical-genetic, comparative-historical.

Results. Based on the analysis of archival documents, the peculiarities of the formation of views on the image of the social composition of the Kursk province in the views of the Kursk communists of the first years of Soviet power are revealed.

Conclusion. The political basis of the social structure of the urban population of the region was recognized by the proletarians, who were the mainstay in the revolutionary transformations of all spheres of public life. The party activists of the Kursk province perceived the provisions of the communist teachings as a key model for the formation of an urban community. The semi-proletariat, the petty bourgeoisie and the intelligentsia, in the opinion of party leaders, should become part of the working people as the sole bearer of power. For the first time, women were considered as an equal part of the urban community in the field of state building.

Startup Activity. Subjects and Signs
Authors: Bykova S. P.
Published: March 2024

Relevance.Currently, there is no common understanding and approach to the definition of startup activity, startup, startup project, as well as to the range of their subjects. Many by-laws are adopted in which the concept of a startup and its subject composition contradicts previously adopted similar documents: for each state support program, its requirements for recipients are defined, which prevents equal access of entrepreneurs to economic benefits.

The purposeof the article is to determine the range of subjects and distinctive features of startup activity.

Objectives.Defining the circle of participants in startup activities; forming the concepts of «startup» and «startup project»; highlighting the main features of startup activities.

Methodology.To achieve reliable results, general scientific methods of analysis, induction and deduction, interpretation and systematization of legal norms were used, the formal legal method and methods of generalization of legal norms were also used.

Results.In the course of the study, a circle of subjects of startup activity was established, which includes both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, as well as individuals.

Conclusion.Startup activity combines startups and startup projects. If we are talking about startup entities, then we can include legal entities and individual entrepreneurs registered in accordance with the legislation. If we talk about the subjects of a startup project, then the circle of subjects includes mainly individuals who can only plan the launch of their innovative business. The idea may not necessarily develop into a real entrepreneurial activity, since various obstacles may arise on the way to a successful project, such as economic, technological, legal and social factors.
Criminal Record as Personal Data and the Basis of General Legal Restrictions
Authors: Alikhadzhiyeva I. S.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. The issues related to the phenomenon of criminal record as special personal data of a citizen, the availability of information about the conviction of a person and ensuring their safety are considered. The article analyzes the positions of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts of the Russian Federation, courts of general jurisdiction regarding the reflection of a criminal record in certificates of absence of a criminal record and (or) the fact of criminal prosecution or on the termination of criminal prosecution by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation upon its repayment or withdrawal.

The purpose of the study is to supplement theoretical provisions aimed at deepening scientific knowledge about criminal record as a negative consequence, expressed in the creation of general legal restrictions not based on law for a convicted person by the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the provision of public services for the issuance of criminal record certificates dated 09/27/2019 № 660.

Objectives: to analyze the decisions of the Constitutional and Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, reviews of judicial practice, court decisions on cases challenging the provisions of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, to identify and comprehend the restrictions created by it for persons whose criminal record has been removed or extinguished.

Methodology. The article actively uses the methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction), as well as formal legal, system-analytical methods, documentary, as well as the method of generalization of judicial practice.

The results of the study are theoretical and applied in nature and contain proposals for solving problems related to a citizen's criminal record, when it is repaid or withdrawn, when general legal restrictions, among other things, are the result of gaps in the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The necessity of changing its wording is argued.

Conclusion. The state and the law enforcement officer have not comprehended the socially dangerous consequences of decisions on the compliance of departmental acts that create artificial obstacles to the exercise of labor, electoral, social and other rights by ex-convicts to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal legislation.
Are the Lawyer, the Prosecutor and the Court Subjects of Evidence or Participants in Evidence in Criminal Proceedings?
Authors: Konin V. V.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. The article examines the issues of participation of a lawyer, prosecutor and court in proving in modern conditions of adversarial proceedings, within the framework of ongoing legal reform. The author comes to the conclusion that the subjects of proof in modern Russian criminal proceedings are only the investigator and the investigator, since they bear the burden of proof. At the same time, the lawyer, the prosecutor and the court are participants in the evidence, whose main task is to examine the evidence collected by the parties. At the same time, the court, being an impartial participant in criminal proceedings, should not take the initiative in collecting evidence and substantiating the accusatory thesis put forward and formulated by the prosecution at the pre-trial stage.

Objectives: to continue the consideration of issues arising at the present stage in the theory of evidence in criminal proceedings, and to propose a new gradation of subjects of evidence and participants in evidence, in continuation of the ongoing scientific discussion on the modern development of the theory of evidence in criminal proceedings.

The purpose of the study is to identify and discuss problematic issues of the implementation of the mechanism of criminal evidence and propose a new list of subjects of evidence and participants in evidence in criminal proceedings.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the research was the universal dialectical method of cognition of socio-legal phenomena, general scientific research methods (analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, system-structural and others). In addition, private scientific methods of cognition were used - logical–formal and system analysis.

The results of the study are distinguished by both theoretical and applied nature with elements of scientific novelty. The author considers the emerging difficulties associated with the practical implementation of the provisions of the issues of evidence in criminal proceedings, proposes a new list of subjects of evidence and participants in evidence, as well as a possible change in the established traditional scientific theory of evidence.

Conclusions. The discussion of the identified problems will allow drawing the attention of the scientific community and the legislator to the development of solutions to eliminate the identified gaps in criminal procedural evidence, a more detailed definition of the role of the court, prosecutor and lawyer in criminal proceedings. At the same time, it is suggested that the use of the approach proposed by the author, including the introduction of relevant provisions in criminal procedure legislation, will correct the imbalance in the theory of evidence that exists at the present stage.
Issues of Criminalization of Acts in Relation to Personal Data in the Context of Draft Law № 502113-8
Authors: Khokhlova E. V.
Published: March 2024

Relevance. The relevance of the study is dictated by the existing contradictions between the need for direct criminal protection of personal data and the problems of criminalization of relevant acts, which is reflected in the light of Draft law No. 502113-8 «On Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation» submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on 04.12.2023.

The purpose. Resolution of these contradictions through a critical assessment of design structures for their compliance with social and legal needs in criminalizing illegal actions with personal data.

The objectives. The study of this draft law, the determination of the quality of draft criminal law prohibitions (their constructive and differentiating features), the resolution of the identified problems of criminalization of acts.

Methodology. When writing the work, the author relied on the universal dialectical method of cognition, logical methods (analysis, synthesis) were also used, in addition, documentary, formal-legal, dogmatic, systematic methods.

Results. Draft law No. 502113-8, which proposes criminalization of illegal actions with personal data within the framework of Chapter 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation «Crimes in the field of computer information», has been subjected to critical reflection. The absence of grounds for defining the relevant acts as computer crimes has been proved. Other contradictions and shortcomings of the design structures have been identified.

Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the specified draft law does not meet modern needs in the criminal law protection of personal data, contradicts the principle of formal certainty and doctrinal ideas about criminalization of acts, differentiation of responsibility, as well as technical and legal rules for the construction of criminal law norms. The author shares the conviction that it is necessary to establish criminal liability for illegal actions with respect to personal data in an independent norm, but believes that it should be placed in Chapter 19 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author's concept of the criminal law prohibition of illegal actions with personal data is proposed.

Published: March 2024

Background

The relationship between 24-hour rest-activity rhythms (RARs) and risk for dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains an area of growing interest. Previous studies were often limited by small sample sizes, short follow-ups, and older participants. More studies are required to fully explore the link between disrupted RARs and dementia or MCI in middle-aged and older adults.

Objective

We leveraged the UK Biobank data to examine how RAR disturbances correlate with the risk of developing dementia and MCI in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

We analyzed the data of 91,517 UK Biobank participants aged between 43 and 79 years. Wrist actigraphy recordings were used to derive nonparametric RAR metrics, including the activity level of the most active 10-hour period (M10) and its midpoint, the activity level of the least active 5-hour period (L5) and its midpoint, relative amplitude (RA) of the 24-hour cycle [RA=(M10-L5)/(M10+L5)], interdaily stability, and intradaily variability, as well as the amplitude and acrophase of 24-hour rhythms (cosinor analysis). We used Cox proportional hazards models to examine the associations between baseline RAR and subsequent incidence of dementia or MCI, adjusting for demographic characteristics, comorbidities, lifestyle factors, shiftwork status, and genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Results

During the follow-up of up to 7.5 years, 555 participants developed MCI or dementia. The dementia or MCI risk increased for those with lower M10 activity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.28, 95% CI 1.14-1.44, per 1-SD decrease), higher L5 activity (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.10-1.21, per 1-SD increase), lower RA (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.16-1.29, per 1-SD decrease), lower amplitude (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.17-1.49, per 1-SD decrease), and higher intradaily variability (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.05-1.24, per 1-SD increase) as well as advanced L5 midpoint (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.85-0.99, per 1-SD advance). These associations were similar in people aged <70 and >70 years, and in non–shift workers, and they were independent of genetic and cardiovascular risk factors. No significant associations were observed for M10 midpoint, interdaily stability, or acrophase.

Conclusions

Based on findings from a large sample of middle-to-older adults with objective RAR assessment and almost 8-years of follow-up, we suggest that suppressed and fragmented daily activity rhythms precede the onset of dementia or MCI and may serve as risk biomarkers for preclinical dementia in middle-aged and older adults.
An e-Learning Course to Train General Practitioners in Planetary Health: Pilot Intervention Study
Authors: Tourrette Cédric , Tostain Jean-Baptiste , Kozub Eva , Badreddine Maha , James Julia , Noraz Aurore , De Choudens Charlotte , Moulis Lionel , Duflos Claire , Carbonnel Francois
Published: March 2024

Background

According to the World Health Organization, climate and ecological emergencies are already major threats to human health. Unabated climate change will cause 3.4 million deaths per year by the end of the century, and health-related deaths in the population aged ≥65 years will increase by 1540%. Planetary health (PH) is based on the understanding that human health and human civilization depend on flourishing natural systems and the wise stewardship of those natural systems. Health care systems collectively produce global emissions equivalent to those of the fifth largest country on earth, and they should take steps to reduce their environmental impact. Primary care in France accounts for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions in the health care sector. General practitioners (GPs) have an important role in PH. The course offers first-year GP residents of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine a blended-learning course on environmental health. An e-learning module on PH, lasting 30 to 45 minutes, has been introduced in this course.

Objective

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the e-learning module on participants’ knowledge and behavior change.

Methods

This was a before-and-after study. The module consisted of 3 parts: introduction, degradation of ecosystems and health (based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report and planetary limits), and ecoresponsibility (based on the Shift Project report on the impact of the health care system on the environment). The questionnaire used Likert scales to self-assess 10 points of knowledge and 5 points of PH-related behavior.

Results

A total of 95 participants completed the pre- and posttest questionnaires (response rate 55%). The mean scores for participants’ pretest knowledge and behaviors were 3.88/5 (SD 0.362) and 3.45/5 (SD 0.705), respectively. There was no statistically significant variation in the results according to age or gender. The pretest mean score of participants who had already taken PH training was statistically better than those who had not taken the PH training before this course (mean 4.05, SD 0.16 vs mean 3.71, SD 0.374; P<.001).

Conclusions

The PH module of the Primary Care Environment and Health course significantly improved self-assessment knowledge scores and positively modified PH behaviors among GP residents. Further work is needed to study whether these self-declared behaviors are translated into practice.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility, as we know it, is a product of a nascent legislation which makes it mandatory, under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, for companies turning a profit over a certain threshold to publish and maintain a CSR report constituted by a Board.

Use Crumb Rubber Chips in Partial Substitution of Coarse Aggregate While Preparing Concrete
Authors: Sarak Ganesh K.
Published: March 2024

Abstract: The purpose of this experimental investigation is to examine the behaviour features of rubberized concrete, which has coarse aggregate in place of some of the tyre rubber. Over 270 million scrap tyres are thought to be produced annually. One of the main problems in India is the disposal of discarded tyres in landfills, which is the responsibility of local governments and municipalities. Because it is not biodegradable, there are serious concerns to human health, the environment, and fire. The most promising uses of tyres in engineering are as aggregates for asphalt and concrete, artificial reefs, and erosion management, aside from gasoline obtained from tyres. Concrete's characteristics could be greatly improved in a variety of ways by using recycled tyre rubber as part of the aggregate. One of the most often used building materials is concrete. Because of this, the building sector is constantly looking for new applications and uses for its products, as well as ways to improve them while keeping costs down. The reference concrete specimen is made of M30 grade concrete. Rubber chips from scrap tyres have been utilised in place of traditional coarse aggregate as coarse aggregate. This will enable the efficient and widespread handling of rubber tyre waste in addition to enabling the sustainable use of the aggregates that are already accessible to us. After separating the rubber tyre waste into coarse chips, this tyre crumb aggregate is applied in increments of 5%, 10%, or 15% to replace the coarse aggregate. In order to determine the best way to employ crumb rubber as coarse aggregate in concrete, this study assessed the workability and compressive strength of rubberized concrete
MQTT Systems: A Survey
Authors: Shah Pujan Hiteshkumar
Published: March 2024

Abstract: In today's era, billions of intelligent devices populate Internet of Things (IoT) environments worldwide, spanning homes, hospitals, factories, and vehicles. Consequently, the interconnected device count continues to surge at a rapid pace. These devices engage in communication with one another and with various services using diverse communication protocols to transport sensor or event data. These protocols facilitate applications in gathering, storing, processing, describing, and analyzing data to address a myriad of challenges. Additionally, IoT endeavors to furnish secure, bidirectional communication between interconnected devices like sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, or smart appliances, and corresponding cloud services. This study shows that into the evolution of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) protocol research, including MQTT, AMQP, and CoAP, spanning the past two decades, underscoring MQTT's pronounced growth trajectory. Furthermore, we compile pertinent application domains of MQTT, recognized as the predominant M2M/IoT protocol, via an exhaustive literature review across major digital research repositories. Here quantitative assessment illuminates key MQTT-related studies published in the last five years, facilitating a comparative discourse on MQTT protocol's principal attributes, advantages, and constraints. Additionally, we propose a taxonomy to juxtapose the properties and features of diverse MQTT implementations, encompassing brokers and libraries available in the public domain, aiding researchers and end-users in judiciously selecting a broker or client library tailored to their requisites. Ultimately, we finalize the pertinent outcomes of our comparison, spotlighting unresolved issues warranting further research.

Marriage Equality Around the World: A Myth or Reality
Authors: Gulati Dr. Shobha , Kaur Dr. Navpreet
Published: March 2024

Abstract: First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the carriage." This children's riddle shows that the right to marry and start a family is granted to many, but not to all. The prominent Call for legalizing same-sex marriage is growing around the world, but whether and to what extent that acceptance will lead to amplified social acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. As the relationship of lesbian and gay couples has been considered taboo for centuries. The legalization of same-sex unions, or marriage equality, has been a persistent global concern. The rights of the LGBT+ community have seen a considerable shift in recent years, with the legalization of same-sex marriages in many nations. By 2023, 34 nations have allowed same-sex Marriage; the Netherlands was the first to do so in 2001. Only one nation in Asia (Taiwan) and one nation in Africa (South Africa) permit same-sex unions, with the majority of these nations being in Europe and the Americas. The LGBT+ community still experiences prejudice and persecution in many nations where same-sex marriage is illegal. Even the death penalty is used as punishment for homosexuality in some nations. Despite this, the initiative for marriage equality is still flourishing, with more and more nations recognizing same-sex couples' legal rights to marry and getting the same protections and advantages as opposite-sex couples.

Abstract: Social Distancing is the best possible way to detain the spread of Covid-19. Even though vaccine has been found and working effectively in saving the lives of people, social distancing is necessary to reduce the spread of virus to maximum extent which not only saves people from being infected but also reduces the impact of spreading of the disease. In our proposed system, we use Deep Learning with python to monitor social distancing in public places. This is a software tool that monitor if people are maintaining proper social distancing norms or not by analyzing real time video streams from CC camera. We use YOLO Model which is trained by COCO dataset
