Hindu Religious and Philosophical Concept in Context of Globalization and Multiculturalism: “Jivatman”
Authors: Ryzhik Maria
Published: July 2024

In the 20th and 21st centuries, active interactions have occurred between representatives of various cultures and traditions. This influences religious and philosophical concepts, including those in India. Modern people wish to learn more about ancient Hindu concepts and values. The concept of the soul plays an important role in the formation of personal and cultural identity. In this article, we focus on the term “jivatman.” Within the framework of Indian culture and philosophy, concepts such as “Atman,” “Paramatman,” “jiva,” and later “jivatman” are integral to the traditional heritage that is preserved and passed down through generations. In the context of philosophical knowledge, it is important to distinguish concepts such as Atman and soul, since they have different meanings in the religious and philosophical traditions of India. Atman is the inner Higher Self, while the soul (jiva) is the bearer of life and is subject to the laws of karma. Some philosophers and researchers identify “jivatman” as a synonym for “jiva,” meaning the soul, while others equate it with the concept “Atman.” Cultural memory plays a key role in preserving this heritage, and the various interpretations of the term “jivatman” can be attributed to the processes of globalization and the politics of multiculturalism. We examined the interpretation of the term “jivatman” in dictionaries, analyzed its use in ancient texts, and considered the opinions of philosophers, neo-Hindu religious leaders, and researchers, including Mircea Eliade, Sri Aurobindo, Srila Prabhupada, and others. The emergence of representatives of the “new Indian mythmaking,” such as Devdutt Pattanaik, also influenced modern Hindu religious and philosophical thought. Analyzing his works, we observe a tendency to conflate the two terms (Atman and jiva) leading to their identification as a single concept. Our research indicates that Devdutt Pattanaik’s analysis often lacks depth and fails to delve into the fundamental essence of Indian philosophy. This tendency towards simplification can lead to a superficial comprehension of the foundational principles and ideas that form the basis of Indian spiritual traditions.

Purpose of the study. To characterize copper nanoparticles obtained in reverse micelles of sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-sulfosuccinate (AOT) using flavonoids: quercetin and rutin in comparison with traditional reducing agents - sodium borohydride and hydrazine.

   Methods. Chemical synthesis of copper nanoparticles, spectrophotometry to determine the maximum of the plasmon absorption band of copper nanoparticles, electron transmission microscopy.

   Results. The reduction of copper ions using flavonoids – quercetin and rutin – confirmed the possibility of obtaining copper nanoparticles in the Cu+2/AOT/isooctane system (AOT is sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-sulfosuccinate, an anionic surfactant that forms the micelle shell). During the formation of nanoparticles, “plasmonic” absorption bands were observed in the electronic spectra in the region of 400-440 nm. In the case of the traditional reducing agent, sodium borohydride, absorption is observed in the region of (439 ± 3) nm, which can also be attributed to the “plasmonic band” of copper nanoparticles, but its intensity is very low, which indicates the formation of a small amount of copper nanoparticles. Using transmission electron microscopy. The average size of copper nanoparticles was determined: 7.1, 8.2 and 18.5 nm in the case of quercetin, rutin and hydrazine, respectively. From the histograms constructed from the results of electron transmission microscopy, it follows that the use of flavonoids as reducing agents makes it possible to reduce the average size of copper nanoparticles and narrow their size distribution.

   Conclusion. Copper nanoparticles obtained in a reverse micellar solution of AOT in iso-octane using the flavonoids quercetin and rutin as a reducing agent have an average size of 7-8 nm and a narrower size distribution compared to reduction with hydrazine.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this work was to study the microstructure and physico-mechanical properties of alloy blanks based on electroerosive powder brass of the LS58-3 brand obtained in distilled water.

   Methods. To carry out the planned research, waste of the LS58-3 alloy was selected. Distilled water was used as the working fluid. In an experimental patented installation for producing powders, waste LS58-3 alloy was dispersed in distilled water with a load mass of 300 g. The following modes were used: capacitor capacity 45–65 μF; voltage at the electrodes from 150–200 V; pulse repetition rate 50–100 Hz. The preparation of new alloy blanks was carried out using an SPS 25-10 electric spark plasma sintering installation (ThermalTechnology, USA). The microstructure of new alloy workpieces was studied using an electron-ion scanning (raster) microscope QUANTA 600 FEG (Netherlands). The study of the porosity of workpieces of new alloys was carried out using an optical inverted microscope OLYMPUS GX51 (Japan). The study of microhardness of workpieces of new alloys was carried out using an automated microhardness tester AFFRI DM-8 (Vickers).

   Results. Analysis of the microstructure showed that the sample has a fine-grained structure and a homogeneous surface. According to the obtained porosity analysis results, the sample has less than 1% pores, which is achieved thanks to the technology of spark plasma sintering of the powder. Analysis of the microhardness of the sample showed a significant increase in microhardness, which is explained by the presence of high-hard particles formed during quenching of metal vapor in the working fluid during dispersion.

   Conclusion. The use of spark plasma sintering technology for electroerosive brass makes it possible to obtain blanks of new alloys with a practically non-porous structure, which leads to an increase in the hardness of the resulting blanks. The results of the conducted studies make it possible to recommend the use of the resulting powder as a starting material for the production of alloy blanks and to expand the scope of their practical application.

Purpose of research. Creation and characterization of carbon nanostructures by high-frequency magnetron sputtering from a carbon target in argon on a silicon substrate and in a reactive nitrogen environment, obtained on a Ni catalyst buffer layer.

   Methods. High-frequency magnetron sputtering on a silicon substrate with changes in control parameters: sputtering time power and working gas pressure Ar and N. Research was carried out using X-ray phase analysis, atomic force microscopy and holographic microscopy, Raman scattering.

   Results. The formation of carbon nanotubes, including single-walled ones, was confirmed by the method of Raman scattering of light along the lines ID 1363 and IG 1564 cm-1, as well as ωRDМ 308 and 227 cm–1. Using atomic force microscopic images, the fractal dimension of the nanofilms was calculated, which indicated their 3D nature. Based on X-ray phase analysis of magnetron nanofilms, the dimensions of the coherence region, texture, microdeformations and interplanar deformation distortions were determined.

   Conclusion. In carbon magnetron nanofilms, deformations of both signs occur: both compressive (∆a < 0) and tensile (∆a > 0). Carbon magnetron nanofilms are represented, among other things, by single-walled carbon nanotubes, the chirality of which in an argon environment is (6, 6), and in a reactive mixture of nitrogen and argon on a Ni buffer layer (7, 7). It was discovered that in high-frequency magnetron mode, silicon carbide is formed in both inert and reactive environments.

Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: Rapamycin inhibits the mTOR protein kinase. Methioninase (rMETase), by degrading methionine, targets the methionine addiction of cancer cells and has been shown to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs, reducing their effective doses. Our previous study demonstrated that rapamycin and rMETase work synergistically against colorectal-cancer cells, but not on normal cells, when administered simultaneously in vitro. In the present study, we aimed to further our previous findings by exploring whether synergy exists between rapamycin and rMETase when used sequentially against HCT-116 colorectal-carcinoma cells, compared to simultaneous administration, in vitro. Materials and Methods: The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of rapamycin alone and rMETase alone against the HCT-116 human colorectal-cancer cell line were previously determined using the CCK-8 cell viability assay (11). We then examined the efficacy of rapamycin and rMETase, both at their IC50, administered simultaneously or sequentially on the HCT-116 cell line, with rapamycin administered before rMETase and vice versa. Results: The IC50 for rapamycin and rMETase, determined from previous experiments (11), was 1.38 nM and 0.39 U/ml, respectively, of HCT-116 cells. When rMETase was administered four days before rapamycin, both at the IC50, there was a 30.46% inhibition of HCT-116 cells. When rapamycin was administered four days before rMETase, both at the IC50, there was an inhibition of 41.13%. When both rapamycin and rMETase were simultaneously administered, both at the IC50, there was a 71.03% inhibition. Conclusion: Rapamycin and rMETase have synergistic efficacy against colorectal-cancer cells in vitro when administered simultaneously, but not sequentially.
Colposcopically Directed Biopsy Before Ablative Treatment Versus Direct Ablative Treatment in Patients With Cervical Oncogenic HPV
Authors: ERASUN DIEGO , VAZQUEZ DEL CAMPO ANA , DE CASTRO ALAZNE , MUNOZ-SOLANO ALBERTO , SCHNEIDER JOSÉ
Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: In the past, the standard of care for women with abnormal cervical cytology has been the performance of colposcopically guided biopsy, followed by conization or large loop excision of the transition zone (LLETZ) where biopsy revealed pre-cancerous or cancerous areas. More straightforward protocols are emerging which advocate performing LLETZ in all women with highly suspicious cytology, suspicious colposcopic impression, or the presence of high-risk oncogenic human papilloma virus (HPV) strains in their cervical swabs. This, theoretically, would reduce the rate of false-negative diagnoses, but at the price of overtreating a significant number of healthy women. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed cervical cancer screening protocols in two large cohorts of women with high-risk HPV. The study compared outcomes between patients undergoing a colposcopically directed biopsy before LLETZ (n=683) and those proceeding directly to LLETZ without a biopsy (n=136). The primary focus was to assess whether intervening biopsies would reduce unnecessary ablative procedures without compromising the detection of high-grade lesions. Results: The biopsy group had a high false-negative rate, with several high-grade lesions (CIN3) and a case of invasive cancer initially underdiagnosed. Conversely, the direct-to-LLETZ approach, while ensuring no high-grade lesions were missed, led to overtreatment of lower grade lesions. Conclusion: These findings raise concern about the reliance on biopsy results for treatment decisions. Neither protocol was entirely satisfactory, although the more aggressive one avoided the potentially life-threatening consequence of false-negative results. Further research is mandatory to accurately diagnose all cases requiring aggressive treatment, without subjecting healthy women to ablative treatments they do not need.

Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: Treatments for early laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) include radiotherapy (RT), chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and larynx-preserving surgery. In this study, early laryngeal SCC was treated with RT in patients with stage I (T1N0) tumors and with CRT and docetaxel (DOC) in patients with stage II (T2N0) tumors and the treatment results and effectiveness of the chemotherapy were compared. Patients and Methods: A total of 78 patients with early-stage laryngeal SCC were enrolled in this study. The T1N0 patients received radiation for the primary lesions as outpatients at a total dose of 63-70 Gy. By contrast, the T2N0 patients were hospitalized and treated with CRT, receiving a total radiation dose of 66-70 Gy. Docetaxel (DOC, 10 mg/m2) was administered intravenously once a week for 6-8 consecutive weeks concurrently with radiotherapy. The adverse events and survival rates with local control rates were examined. Results: The number of non-glottic T2N0 patients was significantly higher than that of T1N0 patients. Although all patients completed their treatment schedule, significantly more grade 3 adverse events were observed in the T2N0 patients, in particular mucositis and dermatitis, than in T1N0 patients. The 5-year overall survival rate, disease specific survival rate, local control rate, and laryngeal preserve rate of the T1N0 and T2N0 patients were 86.1, 93.3, 88.6, and 94.3% and 85.9, 88.0, 93.1, and 93.1%, respectively. Conclusion: CRT with docetaxel showed the best therapeutic outcomes for the treatment of laryngeal SCC in patients with T2N0 tumours, with a higher local control rate, effective laryngeal preservation, and relatively few adverse events.

Background/Aim: Physical decline is accompanied with malnutrition in advanced cancer patients, thus nutritional care is often provided with cancer rehabilitation. However, a limited number of studies have focused on which nutritional index serves as an important marker to provide more intensive nutritional support for patients. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed advanced cancer patients who received chemotherapy and rehabilitation during hospitalization. In analysis 1, patients were divided into two groups: a Well group with caloric intake ≥ basal metabolism, calculated by the Harris–Benedict equation, and a Poor group with caloric intake less than their basal energy expenditure. The primary endpoint was the ratio of patients whose Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) or Barthel index (BI) was maintained during rehabilitation. In analysis 2, the cohort was restratified into Responders, whose ECOG PS and BI improved, and Non-responders, comprising the remaining patients. Several nutritional indices were compared between the groups. Results: Eighty-four patients were evaluated in analysis 1, namely 51 Well patients and 33 Poor patients. The ECOG PS-maintained rate was 98% and 91% (p=0.29), and the BI-maintained rate was 100% and 88% (p=0.02) in the Well and Poor groups, respectively. In analysis 2, 72 patients were evaluated after excluding 12 patients who lacked nutritional data after rehabilitation. Compared with the Responders group, caloric intake appeared worse in the Non-responders group, although their nutritional background tended to be better. Conclusion: Insufficient caloric intake might be a predictive marker of poor outcomes after rehabilitation in advanced cancer patients.

Published: July 2024

Background

Technologies evolve at a breakneck pace, and the success of mobile health (mHealth) for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) depends on whether health care professionals, care management, government regulators, and consumers will adopt the technology as a viable solution to enhance patient self-management.

Objective

In this study, we explored the challenges of the implementation of mHealth apps in care for patients with T2DM and determined to what extent these challenges complicate the dissemination, limit scale-up, and influence the sustainability of technological interventions for patients with T2DM.

Methods

The nonadoption, abandonment, and challenges to scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) framework served as the basis for our study. The 7 domains of the NASSS framework were explored with a citizen science approach using questionnaires, semistructured in-depth interviews, and focus groups together with patients with T2DM, care professionals, technology developers, policy officers, and a patient organization.

Results

Regarding the domain “condition,” being aware of their condition and changing lifestyle were crucial for patients with T2DM to get to grips with their life. The rapid development of health apps for T2DM was highlighted in the domain “technology.” Users should be aware of these apps and know how to use them. The domain “value proposition” included the patient perspective and elaborated on personal values, as well as care professionals who focus on personalized care and pressure on health care. Regarding the “adopters,” it is crucial to know who needs to use and introduce the apps. Responsibility, a shared vision, and resistance among care professionals were mentioned as important determinants for “organization.” Finally, the domain “wider system” showed the importance of involving multiple institutes, care guidelines, and reimbursements.

Conclusions

This study investigated the implementation of mHealth apps in an early stage of the implementation process. Key stakeholders were involved, who attributed to the possibilities and limitations of the implementation. It is crucial to have a clear vision from an organizational perspective and specific prerequisites for implementation strategies at micro, meso, and macro levels. Essential strategies at the national level include guidelines for regulations, privacy, and security; the integration of mHealth into T2DM care guidelines; and sufficient reimbursement by health insurers.

The role of the pressure in the endotracheal tube cuff in the development of iatrogenic tracheal injuries
Authors: Sadovyi V.Yu. , Kuchyn Yu.L. , Bielka K.Yu. , Sazhyn D.S.
Published: July 2024

Background. The endotracheal tube insertion, which is a veritable patient care procedure, carries risks and possible adverse effects. Such complications vary in severity and range from mild symptoms such as sore throat or cough, which are often considered normal post-intubation events, to severe damage, including damage to the vocal cords, trachea, malacia, and fistula formation. A critical factor influencing the manifestation of these complications is the pressure exerted by the endotracheal tube cuff on the trachea. The purpose was to study the influence of high pressure of the intubation tube cuff on the incidence and severity of complications in an in vivo model. Materials and methods. A total of 12 rabbits were studied and divided into three groups according to target cuff pressure: 30, 50, and 100 cm H2O. Sevoflurane was used to maintain anesthesia, monitoring of vital functions included heart rate, pulse oximetry, capnography, and electrocardiography. Intubation was performed after induction with ketamine and administration of relaxants, and cuff pressure was measured with a mechanical manometer. The duration of pressure exposure was 20 minutes for each group, then the degree of tracheal damage was assessed by autopsy. Results. Increasing pressure generally leads to an increased risk of injury. In the third group (pressure of 100 cm H2O), all subjects had damage to the trachea, in 75 % of cases, it was a complete tracheal rupture. However, the dependence on pressure is not unambiguous for all types of injuries: the frequency of pneumothorax does not correlate directionally with the incidence of iatrogenic injuries and does not increase proportionally to pressure. So, for example, subcutaneous emphysema developed only in a third of cases of tracheal rupture. This emphasizes possible difficulties in timely diagnosis of this type of complications. Conclusions. The work highlights the risks associated with endotracheal intubation and emphasizes the need to maintain recommended practices and individual approach to each case. The most severe damage was observed at a pressure of 100 cm H2O, while at a pressure of 30 cm H2O, a smaller proportion of rabbits showed signs of damage.
Treatment of choledocholithiasis: a review of clinical trials and current clinical guidelines

Published: July 2024

The review provides an analysis of clinical studies and current clinical guidelines from the MEDLINE database on the PubMed platform regarding the treatment of choledocholithiasis. Choledocholithiasis occurs in almost 20 % of patients with gallstone disease and is characterized by frequent dangerous complications, in particular, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, and biliary pancreatitis. Therefore, common bile duct exploration is an important component of surgical treatment for gallstone disease, but discussions about the optimal treatment for choledocholithiasis have been ongoing for many years. Currently, there is no generally accepted standard of treatment, and various methods and approaches to the staging and sequence of surgical interventions on the gallbladder and common bile duct are used. In recent years, the leading methods of choledocholithiasis treatment are minimally invasive endoscopic and/or laparoscopic interventions, which have almost completely replaced open surgeries. For common bile duct exploration and normalization of biliary excretion, endoscopic transpapillary (retrograde) access is used mostly, which is characterized by a high risk of post-procedural immediate and long-term complications. Endoscopic management of common bile duct stones requires an additional intervention — laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is most often performed at the second stage or simultaneously with endoscopic intervention. The optimal staging and sequencing of interventions requires further research. A good alternative to endoscopic interventions on common bile duct is its laparoscopic exploration through the cystic duct or by choledochotomy (antegrade), which can be performed simultaneously with cholecystectomy. However, this technique has not yet been widely adopted, and immediate and long-term results are conflicting that require further research into the effectiveness and safety of the method. The effectiveness of surgical treatment for choledocholithiasis depends not only on the individual characteristics of a patient, including biliary anatomy, the form and severity of the disease, but also on the local experience and availability of appropriate equipment, which must be taken into account when planning treatment.

Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, life-threatening immunopathogenic disease that is characterized by flaccid, easily ruptured intraepithelial bullae, mostly found on the skin and mucous membranes. Attempting to keep the treatment plan of this potentially deadly disorder in primary focus, we have observed five patients with Pemphigus vulgaris. All patients have been presented with oral lesions or ulcers resulting in difficulty in swallowing. Patient one had a family history of the disease, while the other patients did not present any family history. All five patients had diverse ways of dealing with the disease before getting hospitalized. Microcytic anaemia and hypoalbuminemia have been found in all of them. Patients 1 and 3 had leucocytosis, while patient three had platelets in clumps with Hypercobalaminemia and the presence of ketone bodies in urine analysis. The Desmoglein I and Desmoglein III Antibody along with Punch biopsy results, confirmed the diagnosis. All patients were given systemic corticosteroids on hospitalization, but the case series observed variations in the dosages emphasizing individualized drug therapy. Some developed psychological impairment, some had generalized headaches or cardiac impairment, while ophthalmic involvement was seen in the other patients. Healthcare providers should do close monitoring while providing individualized drug therapy to prevent any systemic involvement and further complications.

Impactful Contributions: Sharia Banks in Advancing Agricultural and Agribusiness Development, Empowering MSMEs and Enhancing Human Resources Management
Authors: Rahman Muljibir , Palilati Alida , Samdin Samdin , Syaifuddin Dedy Takdir
Published: July 2024

The development of Islamic economics and Sharia banking has a long history, with many believing its origins trace back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Sharia banks now play a role in financing the agricultural industry for micro, small, and medium enterprises in countries with the largest Muslim populations and are agriculture-based. At the same time, there are challenges in terms of improving management in the human resources aspect. For example, intention and awareness are two things that have been revealed by many previous studies in maximizing market and customer control, especially in Sharia banking. Intention and awareness were reportedly influenced by religiosity, product knowledge, and word of mouth. This research tries to review how Islamic banks operate; their role in agriculture and agribusiness; and their role in developing MSMEs. Finally, examining the relationship between intention and awareness is reported to be influenced by religiosity, product knowledge, and word of mouth in Islamic banking. Using a systematic review approach based on secondary data in the form of reputable international journals registered in international databases. There are 15 journals related to the development of Islamic economics and the role of Sharia financial financing. The role of Islamic banks in the development of agriculture and agribusiness is 36 journals. The role of Islamic banks in developing MSMEs is 46 journals. There are 64 journals covering the topic of Sharia banking human resource development. The results of the analysis found new information in terms of theoretical and practical development, that Islamic banks have proven to play a role in the development of agriculture and MSMEs, but there are still weaknesses in terms of service innovation. Then, in terms of human resources for Sharia banking services, it focuses on Total Quality Management, that Sharia banks must improve human resource capabilities in service with the main topic of analysis "the influence of religiosity, product knowledge and word of mouth in forming the intentions and awareness of sharia bank customers".
Dynamics of Agricultural Development in Coastal Areas and Small Islands; Criticism of Human Resource Management in Local Government Organizations
Authors: Sutrino Anas , Rianse Usman , Rommy Nursaban
Published: July 2024

Agricultural development must be the government's main focus to achieve comprehensive and serious economic development for society. The (Regional) Government as a public organization holding autonomous rights to determine policies to increase agricultural development must begin to prepare. What many experts have highlighted is the role of Regional Government in regional development in terms of human resources, namely the existence of a personnel system called bureaucracy. Every organization needs to develop human resources (HR) through improving performance to have abilities, skills, and positive attitudes to carry out their duties well. Experts and scholars say that three concepts among the many are highlighted in the aspect of bureaucratic resource management to improve employees' work, namely organizational justice, organizational politics, and work commitment. The research aims to determine and analyze the achievements of implementing agricultural development; and to know and analyze the respective relationships between organizational justice, organizational politics, and work commitment on employee performance in agricultural development. Use a quantitative approach to causality design. Take the case of Wakatobi Regency with its unique coastal areas and small islands. The sample was 225 employees or around 44% of the total sample of 514 people. The number of samples was determined by Slovin calculation and then taken at simple random. Primary data was obtained through distributing questionnaires, and secondary data from economic reports from authorized institutions. Data were analyzed using the SEM-AMOS approach. The results of the analysis found that development in Wakatobi Regency is supported by the agricultural and fisheries sectors. Its role is very dominant in GRDP, but it has not shown a direction that is in line with economic growth because it has experienced a decline. One of the aspects highlighted is that the performance of local governments in agricultural and fisheries development has not been optimal. The theoretical implication is that development performance analysis must use variables and indicators from empirical factual data (non-perception) through GRDP values and economic growth. Because, it has been proven that aspects of implementing human resource management through organizational politics and organizational justice have been proven to have a significant influence on performance, while work commitment is not yet significant. Practical implications for the government as a development policy formulator are to evaluate the development approaches that have been carried out, as well as regional leaders and leaders of regional apparatus implementing units (OPD) to pay attention to employee work commitment because our findings prove that their role is still weak in carrying out their duties and functions as ASN.

El objetivo de este artículo, es describir una propuesta de innovación comercial para garantizar la sostenibilidad de una asociación de mujeres rurales - ASOMMUC - localizada en una zona rural alejada de los principales centros urbanos del suroccidente de Colombia. La metodología empleada es la ruta de innovación social del PCIS (Parque Científico de Innovación Social de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios), donde se construyó junto a la asociación, una propuesta de innovación comercial para aumentar las ventas de sus productos. Esta propuesta fue validada en el mercado con un PMV (Producto Mínimo Viable) instalado en un corredor comercial perteneciente a una nueva ruta gastronómica de la región, con el fin de realizar ventas directas, evitar la intermediación y respaldar una mayor rentabilidad en las ventas de la asociación. El PMV resultó con ingresos superiores en un 67% respecto a experiencias de ventas similares en la asociación. Finalmente, con la sistematización de esta experiencia, se propone un modelo conceptual para dinamizar la comercialización de los productos de asociaciones rurales, el cual puede ser escalable a otras organizaciones latinoamericanas, con los respectivos ajustes a sus propios contextos territoriales.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the institution of evidence in civil proceedings. Proving in judicial practice is an indirect human cognition, the authors argue that the subject of this cognition does not just observe or empirically collect information, he analyzes existing facts and makes new conclusions. The authors investigated the theoretical foundations of the functioning of this institute, analyzed statistical data in this area. In the course of the analysis of scientific literature, the authors have formed a wide range of evidentiary tools in Russian civil proceedings. Due to the consideration of real judicial practices, the main gaps in the legal regulation of the mechanism for the use of evidence in civil cases were identified. In conclusion, the options for changing the articles of the CPC of the Russian Federation are proposed, which will improve the mechanism of judicial proceedings.

The role of modern legal science in the life of Russian society
Authors: Геннадий Васильевич Назаренко ,   Юго-Западный государственный университет, Курск, Россия
Published: July 2024

The article makes an attempt to show the role of legal science in the life of Russian society using the example of criminal law science. For this purpose, the state in which criminal law science finds itself is considered. It has been established that legal science is represented by two unequal groups of people: some actually engage in scientific research, others imitate scientific activity. At the same time, publications that are imitative in nature are subject to fair criticism and are considered as a manifestation of a crisis in science. Despite the existence of negative factors, the scientific community directly or indirectly has a positive impact on the life of Russian society. In particular, criminal law science determines the ways of development of criminal legislation that performs protective and regulatory functions, thereby harmonizing conflict relations. The scientific community of law universities and faculties, being part of Russian society, not only produces and reproduces scientific knowledge, but also involves students, graduate students and doctoral students in its development in various forms. A significant role in the development and implementation of scientific knowledge into public practice is played by scientific and qualifying works in criminal law disciplines, including those not free from certain shortcomings. This study shows that the works of criminologists are also of interest among previously convicted persons and repeat offenders. In conclusion, it is concluded that the organization of legal science is far from perfect and requires significant reorganization in order to meet the expectations of society.
