Authors: Varentsova Larisa
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the charitable activities of the «Ladies’ branch of the Nizhny Novgorod prison board», which in late 1911–1912 was headed by Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Khvostova, the wife of Nizhny Novgorod governor Alexei Nikolaevich Khvostov. During the entire existence of the Nizhny Novgorod prison committee (1846–1917) this was the first and only experience of the functioning of the Ladies’ department created under it. The novelty of this article lies in the formulation of the problem, the involvement of new historical sources. The chronological framework is determined by the time of operation of this charity. The main historical source was the Case of the Nizhny Novgorod provincial prison inspectorate “I” Office work. About the correspondence of the Nizhny Novgorod Ladies’ branch of the Society for the care of prisons in 1911. It is stored in the fund 386 Nizhny Novgorod prison inspectorate (1908–1918) of the Central archive of the Nizhny Novgorod region. Unpublished epistolary and clerical materials, reference materials, pre–revolutionary periodical press — the journal Prison bulletin were used. The author came to the conclusion that the main reason for the creation of the Ladies’ department of the Nizhny Novgorod prison committee was the fight against child crime, the need to open special educational and correctional institutions for detained children and juvenile delinquents, who were held mainly together with adult prisoners in prisons of the Russian empire at the beginning of the XX century. E. A. Khvostova was engaged in collecting charitable funds for the opening of a shelter located at the Second Nizhny Novgorod provincial prison, providing assistance to unhappy children. An important result of her work was the appearance of such a shelter with an elementary school, a children’s library, and craft workshops.
The concept and features of the legal system of society as a dynamic and non-linearly developing structure
Authors: Grishin Oleg
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the key features of the legal system of society, which characterize it as a nonlinear, dynamically developing, complexly organized form of coexistence of legal phenomena, through which the impact on social relations is carried out. Based on the study of the key stages in the formation of the legal system as one of the most important categories of jurisprudence and its elemental composition, the thesis is substantiated that the most important features of a legal system should include its ability to self-organize, adaptability, emergence, alternative development, relative self-sufficiency and autonomy in constant active interaction with other social systems. The conclusion is formulated that the legal system of society is both an object of research and an analytical instrument that should be used when carrying out a systemic-structural analysis of social phenomena and processes.
Errors and violations that occur during the implementation of administrative control and supervisory procedures: concept, sources and types
Authors: Morozov Sergey
Published: October 2024

In this article, the author analyzes the practical side of the implementation of administrative control and supervisory procedures by executive authorities in the course of implementing the functions of state control (supervision), namely, an attempt is made to study the errors and violations made by control and supervisory authorities. In the course of the analysis of a set of doctrinal, regulatory and legal sources, as well as materials of law enforcement and judicial practice, the concept of errors and violations is formulated, such defects of the administrative control and supervisory procedure as errors, gross violations and non-gross violations are identified, differing both in their content and in the accompanying consequences. The author also identifies the sources of violations in the activities of executive authorities in the course of their control and supervisory functions. Based on the sources of gross violations of the administrative control and supervisory procedure, a classification of such violations is carried out, including violations of an informational nature, violations of the subjective nature of the composition of participants in the procedure, violations of the procedure and others. In the course of the study, the author also expresses a position regarding the expansion of the interpretation of the concept of “gross violation” and the need to make appropriate changes to the current regulatory legal acts governing the establishment and implementation of administrative control and supervisory procedures.
Forms of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 19th century
Authors: Minnikes Irina
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the question in what forms the normative acts of the first three (1801–1803) and the last three (1823–1825) years of the reign of Emperor Alexander I were issued. A brief characteristic of all the forms “legalized” by the Code of Laws of the Russian Empire — manifestos, decrees, regulations, etc. — is given. Special tables indicate the number of acts issued in each form by year. A separate table calculates the share of each form of “legalized” acts in the total number of acts of the Complete Collection of Laws. It is established that most often acts were issued in the form of decrees, but their share in the total number of documents gradually decreased — from 84.7 % in 1801 to 55.6 % in 1825. At the same time, such a form as the Highest Approved Opinion of the State Council tended to grow. The conclusion is that the forms of normative acts in the initial and final period of Alexander I’s reign were more diverse than those specified by the legislator in the Code of Laws.

Domestic and international law in Tajikistan in the context of globalization and world challenges
Authors: Nematov Akmal , Hasanova Shahnoza
Published: October 2024

The interaction of international and domestic law being a central issue of legal doctrine and practice has always attracted the attention of legal scholars, which indicated the relevance of its study both within the framework of international and national legal systems. The relevance of their interaction is doubly increased when, in the conditions of international legal crisis and conflicts, the influence of international law on interstate relations is minimized, and politicians, diplomats, scientists and the world community in general began to doubt its legal effectiveness in regulating international relations. In modern conditions in the process of interaction between international and domestic law, the state begins to proceed from national interests and primarily in the regulation of social relations began to rely on national legal systems. Hence, there is a need to reconsider the forms and mechanisms of interaction between international and domestic law, which were formulated in the middle of the last century and as it seems to us are no longer able to regulate the new social relations of not only the new century, but the new millennium.
On the nature of a legally significant compromise
Authors: Parfenov Aleksandr
Published: October 2024

In the first decades of the 21st century, legal scholars paid attention to the phenomenon of compromise in law. Some of its aspects were covered in both general theoretical and industry-specific legal studies. In this article, the author draws attention to a range of problems in the field of compromise in law that, for some reason, remained outside the field of view of researchers. In particular, he states the presence of a tendency to idealize the phenomenon under consideration. The absence of a single generally accepted approach to its definition is noted.
The author also draws attention to the fact that in modern domestic legal science an unjustifiably narrow understanding of compromise in law has developed. He provides a system of arguments in favor of the fact that the number of legally significant compromises should not be limited exclusively to socially useful compromises. Along with them, some socially harmful compromises should also have a legal coloring. The author has formulated proposals aimed at improving the conceptual and categorical apparatus of legal science. In particular, he proposes to operate with such concepts as “legally significant compromise”, “egal compromise”, “illegal (unlawful) compromise”.

Authors: Vasil'ev Stanislav
Published: October 2024

Considering the relationship between any subjects of constitutional law, it should be noted that their interaction is the most effective and efficient. In this study, it is perceived as an analogue of the category “cooperation”; partnership is also considered as one of the components of this social phenomenon. Studying the essence of interaction between the actors under consideration allows us to understand the mechanisms and legal basis for its implementation for the subsequent modernization of legal regulation, based on the actual practice of its implementation, as well as on the needs of society and naturally occurring social processes.
Tribal Jurisdiction and Domestic Violence: The Need for Non-Indian Accountability on the Reservation
Authors: Radon Amy
Published: October 2024

Domestic violence is a severe problem for tribes across the nation, as their female members are victimized at highly disproportionate rates compared to members of dominant society. Many tribes have sophisticated domestic violence codes to combat the problem, but they are powerless to prosecute the majority of those who will abuse Indian women: non-Indian men. In 1978 the Supreme Court stripped tribes of their power to prosecute non-Indians in criminal matters, which not only damaged tribal sovereignty but also meant the difference between a life free from abuse and one with constant fear, intimidation, and pain for Indian women.

The federal government has, since that time, had almost exclusive jurisdiction' over non-Indians who commit crimes on the reservation. Federal prosecutors with heavy workloads and limited resources often plead out cases of domestic violence to far lesser crimes or decline to prosecute these offenses at all. Tribes that have the resources and commitment to stop violence against Indian women are forbidden to take action against non-Indian offenders. This lack of accountability on the part of dominant society must stop immediately, and tribes must have the power to prosecute these non-Indian offenders to provide the protection these women deserve.

This Note argues that Congress should restore tribal jurisdiction over non-Indian criminal offenders. The primary purpose of restoring tribal jurisdiction is to protect Indian women from abuse by repeat offenders, and ensure these women receive the justice they deserve. Allowing tribes to assert jurisdiction over nonIndian offenders will also show that the federal government has not forgotten the sovereign status of Indian nations, established almost 200 years ago. As sovereign nations, tribes should be permitted to enforce laws covering their territory and ensure justice for their members by responding to the unique problems facing American Indians. Tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians is essential to accomplishing these goals and must be restored by Congress at once.

Authors:   Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, Russia, Ponomarev Maksim A.
Published: October 2024

The article considers the evolution of the theory and practice of managing the development of higher education organizations. The system of continuous education in Russia was formed in the 19th century, which is associated with the publication of the manifesto of Alexander I on the establishment of the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire in 1802. Until that time, there was no separate body to manage the entire system of Russian education. To assess the development potential, the characteristics of innovative activities, human resources and information support for management are used. Assessing the development potential of an educational organization of higher education in the context of changes is one of the elements of the methodological basis for the formation of change modeling programs aimed at improving the sustainability of higher education institutions. Considering the problems of higher education management in the context of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, they offer a number of recommendations for adapting the university management system to the new conditions. They note that the crisis creates the need to switch to distance learning and develop new management models. The authors also believe that in the near future, many universities will switch to online learning, which will require the development of digital platforms and improving the digital competence of teachers. The authors also note that contact learning will become more elite and individual, and that blended and hybrid forms of learning will also be possible.

Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis and study of increasing the efficiency of gold mining enterprises. The goal is to develop a tool for quantitative analysis and forecasting of key factors affecting the efficiency of gold mining enterprises. The methodological basis of the work is scientific and practical research methods: the use of economic principles, the combination of econometric models and artificial intelligence algorithms, as well as the results of research by Chinese scientists on the development of gold mining enterprises. During the study, the most significant factors affecting the efficiency of gold mining enterprises were selected. In accordance with the economic principles of optimal resource allocation and efficiency maximization, the creation of a neural network model, using Chinese gold mining enterprises as an example, contributes to the formation of a data set for forecasting and analyzing critical factors affecting the efficiency of the enterprise. By means of the created neural network with fuzzy logic, complex relationships between various factors affecting the efficiency of the enterprise are revealed, and important reference information for enterprises on optimizing resource allocation is obtained. By constructing a neural network forecasting model, it is possible to analyze the future trends of key factors affecting the operating efficiency of an enterprise. Quantitative forecasting and evaluation of each key factor allows enterprises to plan the development and use of resources in advance, and achieve resource allocation with optimal efficiency. It is concluded that the key factors affecting the operating efficiency of gold mining companies are: cost of sales, investment in geological exploration, balance reserves, global demand, operating income, capital expenditure, and investment in social projects. As the global demand for gold continues to grow, Chinese gold mining companies have been constantly increasing their investment in geological exploration and capital expenditure, achieving a continuous increase in core reserves and fully meeting annual production needs.

Published: October 2024

In the article, according to the agricultural micro-census of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2021, a methodology for classifying personal subsidiary farms has been developed, on the basis of which four types of farms are identified: resident, consumer and commodity personal subsidiary farms, as well as implicit farms. Subtypes are allocated within each type of farms according to the size of agricultural production. By applying the methodology to the sample survey data, it was concluded that resident micro-farms, which make up 17% of the total number of personal subsidiary farms in the region, produce no more than 5-6% of gross agricultural output and receive no more than 0,1% of income from its sale, therefore it was proposed to exclude this category of personal subsidiary farms from statistical observation. The results of the typology can be used by the state statistical and agricultural management bodies.

Published: October 2024

The goal of the Prime Minister's Knowledge and Skills (PMKVY) initiative is to provide a planned, skill-motivating, and easily accessible national work structure. Because of talent mismatch, India has a scarcity of structured, high-quality employment and qualified labour. PMKVY primarily concerns creating commercial prospects and employment options for labourers in the rust belt, pink-collar, and black-collar categories. The young of the country need to develop their abilities since they can lead to higher-paying professions, more fulfilling dreams, and opportunities to work independently. By 2022, the PMKVY wants to offer 500 million young people in urban and rural areas programs for skill development, education, vacation, and training. A web-based application might improve the efficacy of the plan, bring stakeholders together, and assist in coordinating requirements. Since its implementation, 37 states have adopted the PMKVY. By learning specialized skills in local or conventional labour, the PMKVY seeks to boost self-employment and improve the productivity of skilled people throughout several states. The top ten states for training and placement are Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Orissa, Delhi, West Bengal, Haryana, and Gujarat.

Authors: - Reni Mulyani , - Devi Indah Anwar
Published: October 2024

Edible film is a thin layer made from consumable materials, formed on top of or placed between food components, functioning as a barrier to mass transfer such as moisture, oxygen, and solutes. It is made from edible biopolymers and food-grade additives. The development of edible film packaging in this study was carried out by utilizing pumpkin skin and seeds that have not been adequately used and by exploring the addition of natural antimicrobial compounds, namely antanan and badotan, to enhance the inhibitory effect of edible films made from pumpkin seeds that meet food standards.In this study, the extraction of yellow pumpkin seeds, antanan, and badotan was performed, followed by organoleptic and phytochemical tests. An edible film formulation was made from yellow pumpkin seeds, varied with antanan and badotan, and tested for moisture content, solubility, pH, and antibacterial properties. The characteristic test results showed that the badotan leaf simplicia was dark green, with a bitter taste and an astringent aromatic odor typical of badotan. The extract was blackish-green in color, with an aromatic odor typical of badotan, and a very bitter taste. Antanan leaf simplicia had a typical aromatic odor, an astringent taste, and was solid green in color. The antanan leaf extract had a typical antanan odor, a very bitter taste, and was thick green in color. Pumpkin seed simplicia had a typical pumpkin smell, an astringent taste, and was thick green in color. The pumpkin seed extract had a smell of ethanol solvent, a bitter taste, and was brownish-green and in the form of a thick liquid. The potential bioactive compounds in badotan leaves included alkaloids, steroids, phenolics, and saponins. Antanan leaves and pumpkin seeds contained flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, phenolics, and saponins. The results showed that the edible film formulation of pumpkin seeds combined with badotan and antanan (1:2) appeared tighter and smoother and did not break. The formulation of pumpkin seeds and badotan (1:2) had a moisture content of 0.0380%, a solubility content of 0.2075%, and a pH of 5.8. The pumpkin seed and antanan (1:2) formulation had a moisture content of 0.0732%, a solubility content of 5.7269%, and a pH of 5.8. The edible film antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus used the disc diffusion method and obtained an inhibition zone of 1.8 mm for pumpkin seed edible film, 12.4 mm for pumpkin seed (1:2) edible film, and 17.6 mm for pumpkin seed (1:2) edible film.

An Empirical Analysis of Outcome- Based Education Research
Authors: - Dr. Tanu Aggarwal
Published: October 2024

Outcome-based education (OBE) is an educational approach that focuses on what students should know and be able to do at the end of a learning process, rather than focusing solely on what content is taught or how it is delivered. OBE emphasizes clearly defined learning outcomes or competencies that students are expected to demonstrate. These outcomes are often referred to as "Competency Outcomes, Performance Outcomes" (COPO).

COPO attainment refers to the achievement of these competency outcomes by students. In an outcome-based education framework, educators design curriculum, instruction, and assessment around these desired outcomes. This means that the curriculum is structured to ensure that students acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to achieve the specified outcomes.
This paper describes improvement in CO-PO attainment and is successfully implemented for one of the core subject “BBA105- Financial Accounting and Analysis ” for BBA students at Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Mangement Studies, Rohini, Delhi. One of the best ways to present any course in easy manner for students is achieved by Outcome –Based Education (OBE).OBE definitely builds complete knowledge by simplifying complex topics into small steps by applying OBE Methodologies. The attainment of the skills by the students are measured based on the Program Outcomes (PO’s) specified by the accreditation bodies. Defining the Course Outcomes (CO’s), CO-PO attainment, will modify the traditional teaching methodology to a well planned self- learning and scored good results too that is explained in this paper.

The ongoing global contagion has highlighted the importance of effective preventive measures such as wearing face masks in public spaces. In this study, we suggest a deep learning-based approach for real-time facial covering detection to aid in enforcing mask-wearing protocols. Our system utilizes deep learning networks (CNNs) to automatically detect whether individuals in images or video streams are wearing mask or not. The suggested system includes of 3 main stages: face detection, facial cover detection, and real-time monitoring. Firstly, faces are localized in the input image or video frame using a proposed face detection model. Then, the detected faces are fed into a proposed CNN model for mask classification, which determines whether each face is covered with a mask or not. Finally, the system will provide real-time monitoring and alerts authorities or stakeholders about non-compliance with mask wearing guidelines. We appraise the execution of our system on publicly available datasets and demonstrate its effectiveness in accurately detecting face masks in various scenarios. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of deploying such as system in real-world settings, including issues related to privacy, bias, and scalability. Overall, our proposed facial covering detection system offers a viable solution for automated monitoring and enforcement of face mask policies, contributing to public health efforts in mitigating the spread of contagious diseases.

Herbal cosmetics are made by combining various cosmetic materials as the base, and then adding one or more herbal compounds to treat a range of skin conditions. By their very name, herbal cosmetics imply that they are all-natural and free of synthetic ingredients that could otherwise be damaging to the skin. Naturally derived cosmetics are safer to use than conventional beauty products. Cosmeceuticals are hybrid cosmetic-pharmaceutical solutions designed to target specific skin conditions, such as acne, wrinkles, and sun protection, in order to enhance the skin's health and appearance. Because of its cooling and calming properties, calamine lotion is frequently used as a protective and antibacterial for a variety of skin conditions. Different plant parts and extracts, such as Nyctanthes arbor-tristis linn, are utilized in place of conventional synthetic treatments for a variety of purposes, including relieving burning sensations on the skin.The remedies used to improve a person's look are called herbal cosmetics.
