Authors: Satispi Evi , Shabana Amin , Alan Kususma Andrean , Andiani Devia
Published: January 2023

The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has entered a new stage. Various policies and regulations in an effort to handle and break thechain of the spread of COVID-19 have been implemented by the government. These efforts include the PSBB policy, Transitional PSBB, PPKM, Micro PPKM, Emergency PPKM (Java-Bali) which had been implemented, Large- Scale Social Restrictions, Provision of activities that cause crowds, implementation of health protocols, and until now has entered the stage of policy regarding the COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccination policy has been contained in the Minister of Health Regulation Number 10 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Vaccination in the context of Combating the 2019 Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic. The result of this research is with reference to the Perpres and Permenkes and when viewed from the implementation variables proposed by the theory of George C. Edwards III, which states that the effectiveness of policy implementation can be seen from the four variables that support the implementation of policies, namely: Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure. So by reviewing these variables, that the implementation of the policy of the implementation of vaccination in Indonesia has been running quite well, and there are still various obstacles found both in its implementation and in the communication of the policy, so that there are still various perspectives that cause debate with the implementation of the vaccine policy. So that the consistency of the government in efforts to provide equal distribution of vaccinations in Indonesia is still running consistently even though in some remote areas the system and reporting of data on the implementation of the vaccination is still unknown.

Published: January 2023

Problem-solving skills have a vital role in students' daily lives. This research aims to describe the students' problem-solving skills in solving HOTS problems. This research is a descriptive study. The research subjects used were 33 eleventh-grade students at one of the senior high schools in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatera. Problem-solving test with the HOTS problems level was used as a data collection instrument. The results of this study depicted that the students have medium problem-solving skills. The students' problem-solving skills are inconsistent in solving HOTS questions. In understanding the problem stage, students have been able to write down the information obtained from questions, but some have not been able to write down complete and ideal information. While in determining plans and strategies stage, students have been able to make mathematical models based on the information obtained in the previous stage. The students are weak in solving problems stage because students are still not complete in solving problems according to the commands of the questions. The students also have weak in rechecking stage. So, teachers must optimize students' problem-solving skills. The teachers need to optimize students' problem-solving skills through exercises in solving HOTS problems using Polya's steps.

METODE PENALARAN PENGANUT TARIKAT SYATHARIYAH KABUPATEN KERINCI DALAM MEMAHAMI TERMINOLOGI/ TEKS AL-QURAN DAN HADITS SATU KAJIAN DESKRIPTIF
Authors: Fauzi Fauzi
Published: January 2023

Selama ini masyarakat di luar penganut tarikat Syathariyyah hanya bisa mendapatkan gambaran tentang metode penalaran terhadap terminologi tarikatini tanpa adanya data dan pembuktian. Penelitian ini berupaya sedapat mungkin untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang metode mereka dalam menginterpretasi terminologi yang ada dalam materi pengajian mereka. Kemudian penelitian ini juga untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang metode-metode mereka di dalam pendekatan mereka terhadap Tuhan, seperti juga apa yang dipraktekkan oleh tokoh-tokoh dalam tashawuf Islam sejak dulunya. Karena selama ini, umat Islam yang nota bene anti tshawuf, hanya melihat sisi buruk saja terhadap mereka yang mempraktekkan ajaran tashawuf tersebut.Boleh jadi bila telah masuk ke dalam arena tashawuf seseorang bisa berubah menjadi asyik, dan lupa dengan kebencian.Karena kalau hanya bersandar kepada ajaran fiqih saja, seseorang akan sulit menemukan kemantapan dan kedekatan dengan Tuhan. Apalagi fiqih itu merupakan bagian dari filsafat, yang lebih mengutamakan akal, dan logika, sedangkan tashawuf lebih mengandalkan zauk untuk sampai kepada hakikat kebenaran.
Renoprotective effect of vinpocetine and cilostazol on glycerol induced renal injury in male rats
Authors: Duaa Ahmed  , Ghaith Ali Jasim
Published: January 2023

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden loss of kidney function that is established by increased serum creatinine levels and decreased urinary output. AKI is one of a group of functional kidney conditions

known as acute kidney disease and disorders (AKD), which can vary in severity and self-limiting to severe and chronic. Adminstrations of glycerol generate significant elevation in serum urea and creatinine that’s mean occurance of functional abnormalities in the kidney. Vinpocetine drug has many pharmacological targets with multiple action, phosphodiesterase inhibiters-1(PDE-1) inhibitor, a voltage-gated sodium channel, and Inhibitory kinase B (IKK) are 3 main molecule targets of vinpocetine. PDE1 has been implicated in the regulation of vasoconstriction, vascular and cardiac structure remodeling, and neuro-transmission. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitors, that widely used for many cases such as reduces direct vascular injury via different mechanism, such as vasodilation and antiplatelet action, anti-inflammation and platelet-leukocyte interaction minimisation, and inhibition of vascular proliferation via up-regulation of hepatocyte growth factors. In present study, we looked at the effect and mechanism of the drugs vinpocetine and cilostazol in an animal model of glycerol-induced AKI. Experiment done during the 14-day trial, rats were divided into five groups: the control group received 2ml/kg normal saline; the induction group received 10ml/kg intramuscular glycerol injection; the vinpocetine group received 5mg/kg via gavage for 14 days and on day 7 given glycerol IM, the cilostazol group received 50mg/kg for 14 days and on day 7 given glycerol IM, and the combination group received half dose vinpocetine (2.5mg/kg) and cilostazol (25mg/kg). We discovered that the induction group had higher levels of urea and creatinine, as well as increased inflammation and oxidative stress, and that their renal tissue showed morphological changes typical of AKI, whereas the combination groups reduced glycerol induce acute renal damage. This revealed that vinpocetine and cilostazol can reinforce renal rat protection by reducing serum urea and creatinine and improving histopathological changes.

Authors: Marwah Mohammed Salih Ali  , Mayssaa Essam Abdalah  , Bahir Abdul-Razzaq Mshimesh
Published: January 2023

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a fundamental enzyme in producing the precursor of purines and pyrimidines for biosynthesis of DNA, RNA and amino acids at various stages. It is considered the key target for both anticancer and antimicrobial drug design.

Terminalia chebula has unique phytoconstituents which are employed broadly in the development of medications against different diseases. It has been established that Terminalia chebula fruit could be used as therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. The aim of study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of T. chebula fruit extract against DHFR enzyme activity and assessment the antioxidant and scavenging activity of T. chebula fruit extract, using DPPH and reducing activity tests Terminalia chebula fruits where extracted. The anti- DHFR enzyme activity was assessed in vitro for the four extracts of Terminalia chebula fruit and MTX. Phytochemical analysis of screening test, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was done for the extract with highest biological activity. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activity of the extract with highest biological activity were evaluated via DPPH [1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl] and reductive ability test. The percent of DHFR inhibiting activity for the cold methanolic extract was the highest and it was higher than that of MTX (96.0±1.4% vs. 89.0±1.1%, respectively), therefore, it was selected for the proceeding assay. Phytochemical analysis showed that the cold methanolic extract of T. chebula, showed a positive reaction for alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids and saponins. Besides, GC-MS analysis showed the presence of pyrogallol compound, while HPLC analysis recorded 3 major peaks with different retention times that were semi-identical to gallic acid, rutin and quercetin standard. The highest radical scavenging activity of T.chebula cold methanolic extract and ascorbic acid according to DPPH were (80.1±2.04% and 85.83±2.1%, respectively) at the maximum studied concentration (200μg/ml), where the activity of ascorbic acid was significantly higher (p≤0.05) than that of T.chebula. Meanwhile, the reductive ability of the cold extract was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than that of vitamin E (0.72±0.15 and 0.41±0.08, respectively) at the maximum studied concentration (250μg/ml). These results suggesting the cold extract of Terminalia chebula has in vitro prominent anti-dihydrofolate reductase activity which is better than that of MTX.
Electrocardiographic Changes in Patients with Depression after Using Escitalopram for a Short Period
Authors: Raz Muhammed HamaSalih  , Rebwar Ghareeb Hama
Published: January 2023

Background

Antidepressant drugs are most commonly used for management of depressive disorders. Antidepressant drugs used in psychiatric clinics may affect the electrical activity of the heart which may induce fatal cardiac events.

Objectives

The purpose of the current study is to reveal the outcomes of escitalopram use for short period of time on the ECG records applying the prolongation of (heart-rate corrected interval for assessing ventricular repolarization) QTc and (corrected JT interval) JTc intervals as a predictor of the negative effects of antidepressants.

Methods

Twenty-eight patients with major depressive disorder and 20 healthy participants were recruited. Parameters such as weight, height, and blood pressure measurements were determined. Electrocardiographic (ECG) records and echocardiographic records [for ejection fraction (%)] were obtained before administration of escitalopram and after 4 weeks of treatment with daily escitalopram 10 mg. The intervals of JTc and QTc and the voltage criteria (R wave-V5 and S wave-V1) were measured.

Results

Patients with depression had a significantly prolonged interval of JTc and small-voltage criterion of the ventricles. Escitalopram significantly improves the prolongation in JTc and non-significantly ameliorate the voltage criterion. There is no significant alteration in the parameter of ejection fraction.

Conclusion

Irregularities in ECG records were observed in patients with major depressive disorder, and treatment with escitalopram for short period is associated with favorable results rather than negative effects.  The evaluation of JTc interval in patients with depression is more suitable than QTc measurement in estimation of the effects of escitalopram.

Social Work Education: Reevaluating Undergraduate Quality Assurance in the Social Work Unit, Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone
Authors: Bangura Mohamed
Published: January 2023

This paper explores the policy and quality assurance discourse in social work undergraduate academic education ensuing at the Social Work Unit at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone, following the recent reengineering approach due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological polarisation. Regrettably, final year social work university pre-service social work student’s practicum or internship evaluation could not be finalised. The practicum or internship is a critical component in social work education as it engenders professional transformation, thought and development. Unlike other academic modules, which could be downright via online and distance education, the practicum or internship, being a practical undertaking in a classroom atmosphere, accorded unique challenges. The research question that the paper addresses is: How would certification of social work students be finalised when this time-tested evaluation had not been done? The paper employs content and discourse analysis to unwrap the philosophical and professional discourses being promoted by faculty in order to appreciate how they are likely to regulate succeeding management of social work education. The discourse is that the emerging ‘current normal’ should not trade-off the quality assurance structures that evolved consequently.

Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: January 2023

A sample of 560 Arab Facebook users consisting of students, faculty, schoolteachers, and other professionals with different proficiency levels in English was selected. The study analyzed how Arabic personal names on Facebook to find out how names with the glottal stop (hamza) [ʔ] and/or voiced pharyngeal fricative [ʕ] in initial, medial and final positions, with different Arabic short and long vowels before and after them are spelled; whether there are variations in their spelling; causes of spelling variations, and the spelling strategies used. Results showed that 63% of the names have an initial hamza; 10% have a medial hamza; 24% have a final hamza. 65% have one variant and 29% have two variants. Names with the highest occurrences are Eman (26); Ibrahim (18); Alaa & Ismail (17) each; and Asma (16). In some names there is a cluster of 2-3 vowels (Waeel, Ismaiel, Ismaeel, Ismaeil, Doaa Duaa). The voiced pharyngeal fricative [ʕ] in all names was substituted by a vowel as this phoneme/grapheme does not exist in English. Thus both [ʔ] and [ʕ] are represented by vowels and pronounced the same in English. 64.5% have an initial [ʕ], 30% have a medial [ʕ] and 5% have a final [ʕ]. 85% of the names with [ʕ] have one variant and 13.5% have two variants. اسماعيل has the highest number of variants (Esmail/Ismail, Ismael, Esmaiel/Ismaeil, Ismaeel) because [ʕ] ع is preceded and followed by long vowels. Some names with final [ʔ] and [ʕ] and followed by a long vowel were spelled with a single -a or double -aa. In Asma, Wafa, Haifa and Sana, [ʕ] was deleted because the spelling matches how the name is pronounced in the local dialect. In Abduh, Amro Enayah Waed, transferred the Arabic spelling system was transferred to English. [ʕ] was deleted is some names (Menem, Yakoub, Gomma) and the vowel was retained to facilitate pronunciation. An apostrophe was added in Ro’aa, Asma’a to split the vowel cluster. The study gives recommendations to help EFL students spell names with phonemes/graphemes that do not exist in English accurately and to help English speakers pronounce the English version correctly.

The Chaining Method for Better Vocabulary Retention: Tunisian University Students as a Case Study
Authors: Ben Kridis Omayma
Published: January 2023

A major current focus in vocabulary instruction has been on how to foster autonomous learning and provide learners with techniques to deal with vocabulary retention. In view of this idea, numerous studies have been interested in investigating the effect of teaching such mnemonic strategies on learners’ ability to retain new items. Thus, this paper intends to focus on the concept of the narrative chain method as a memory vocabulary learning strategy that helps EFL learners to remember new vocabulary. It, therefore, aims at shedding light on the importance of learners’ active role in practising the method, creating and imagining the storyline, and reflecting on it at the end of the process. To reach this purpose, fifty first-year Tunisian EFL university students were randomly selected to complete memory vocabulary strategy training. An evaluation checklist was then held to gain more information about their attitudes toward the technique’s efficiency. Qualitative results have provided positive feedback concerning the narrative chain method treatment. The findings of the current study have led to crucial contributions to vocabulary teaching practices that should display the close connection between the active vocabulary learning/retention process and long-term memory in the Tunisian context.
The Impact of Reading Medium on the Comprehension and Judgment of Performance of Moroccan EFL Readers
Authors: Larhmaid Maryem
Published: January 2023

Technology use in Moroccan higher education classrooms is growing at an exponential rate. However, current knowledge about the pedagogical effectiveness of Information Communication Technology (ICT) usage for reading and self-efficacy beliefs of Moroccan EFL readers is inconclusive. The main purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of reading texts on paper versus on-screen on reading comprehension and judgment of performance, while controlling for relevant individual difference variables. In a between-subjects design, three groups of first-year university students (N = 83) read an expository text on a sheet of paper versus on a laptop. Before reading, topic knowledge was assessed. After reading, participants were asked to answer three open-ended questions (main idea, key points, and other relevant ideas) and one closed-ended question (true-false). Next, based on the medium used for reading, participants were asked to rate how confident they were that the answers they provided were correct. Results of the t-test showed that reading medium did not affect overall reading comprehension, but slight differences between groups emerged. Calculated means indicated that participants who read on paper scored somewhat better on the main idea and other-relevant ideas questions; whereas, participants who read on-screen scored a little bit better on the key points and true-false questions. Moreover, results suggested no influence of the reading medium on students’ post-task judgments, indicating that participants who read on-screen were about as accurate in judging their comprehension performance as those who read on paper. These results suggest that reading short factual texts on the screen has no detrimental effects on the cognitive and metacognitive abilities of EFL readers.
THE INNER CONFLICT: CONSCIENCE OR STATE'S RULE
Authors: Pramono RB. Edi
Published: January 2023

Conflict is part of human life. No one can get rid of it. Some conflicts end in good resolution, some end in bad resolution, and some end in tragedy. Antigone, the main character, is encountering a dilemma of whether to keep on the conscience of burying her brother or to obey her king’s edict forbidding her to bury him otherwise death sentence she has to bear. This inner conflict represents the power relation between Antigone and the king. Foucault proposes that power relation comprises the productivity of power and the constitution of subjectivity. He also says that resistance is an endemic fact in the world of power relations. Furthermore, Kabeer states that the power of women signifies the ability of women to make choices. In determining choices, Antigone experiences inner conflict, and thus, she encounters a double struggle, i.e., against herself and against Creon, the king. With the knowledge that conscience or heaven's values are higher than man’s rule or earth’s values, Antigone seizes her power to deal with her conflicts. The conflict between Antigone and Creon, which is first between heaven and earth laws, turns out to be a conflict mostly covered by self-pride. This contestation of power leads her to agony and suicide, and this confirms that inner conflicts in power relations may end in tragedy.

For ages, Zingiber officinale, or ginger, has been utilised as a culinary spice and medicinal purposes. Previous research has shown that ginger has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and other pharmacological properties. Ginger has recently been included in natural product formulations such as cosmetics and personal care products due to its health benefits. In Al- Qur'an, ginger is mentioned in the term zanjabil as recorded in Surah Al-Insan verse 17. This verse explains that people in heaven are served with drinks mixed with ginger. However, the quality of ginger-based product especially personal care product for its microbiological status, heavy metal, and their potential as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial agent are unknown. Furthermore, the benefits of ginger to human health from Islamic properties are not well reported. The current study aims to assess the quality and safety of finished products of four types of ginger-based lotion (Losyen Mustajab Pati Halia) through laboratory experiment and was evaluated in terms of halalan thoyyiban concept through literature review assessment. The results showed that all types of ginger-based lotion tested are safe for consumers since the microbial content and heavy metal concentration are within the recommended guidelines. Remarkably, the lotions also postulated anti-inflammatory properties via the lipoxygenase and hyaluronidase pathways to varying degrees. However, the lotions are not marketed as anti-bacterial agents. From the point of halalan thoyyiban concept and proven by scientific findings, the ingredients used are clean, safe, good quality and no false claim element on the information displayed on the packaging. As conclusion, the result demonstrates the safety and quality of the ginger-based lotion as a daily personal care product, which fulfils consumers' expectations and needs.
Kekhilafan Menerapkan Maqasid Syariʻah Dalam Pengeluaran Fatwa: Analisis Ijtihad Maqasidi
Authors: Roslan Muhammad Mustaqim , Zainuri Anwar Osman
Published: January 2023

Ijtihad maqasidi ialah penerapan maqasid syariah dalam semua proses hal ehwal ijtihad untuk mendapatkan hukum-hakam yang harmoni demi menjaga lima prinsip asasnya iaitu agama, jiwa, akal, keturunan mahupun harta serta menolak segala kerosakan. Namun begitu, sesuatu fatwa akan terkesan apabila berlakunya perselisihan dalam menerapkan maqasid syariah. Oleh yang demikian artikel ini mengetengahkan objektif utama iaitu mengenal pasti konflik penerapan maqasid syariah dalam pengeluaran fatwa. Falsafah di sebalik artikel ini ialah interpretif dan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dalam mengadaptasikan reka bentuk kajian. Kaedah pengumpulan dan analisis data ialah analisis kandungan dokumen dengan menganalisis sampel utama daripada peruntukan dalam al-Quran dan Sunnah. Ia  dijadikan sebagai data primer dalam kajian ini kerana data tersebut adalah daripada sumber langsung, berautoriti dan tidak dipengaruhi oleh mana-mana pandangan atau pendapat individu. Selain itu juga, data sekunder bagi kajian ini ialah perbahasan yang terdapat dalam kitab-kitab tafsir, buku-buku akademik, jurnal dan kajian ilmiah lepas digunakan dalam artikel ini. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan bahawa proses ijtihad melalui pemahaman nas sahaja tanpa saduran maqasid syariah dan proses ijtihad melalui saduran maqasid syariah yang berlebihan dari pemahaman nas merupakan antara konflik ijtihad maqasidi yang perlu diawasi. Oleh yang demikian, pihak-pihak berautoriti perlu sentiasa berhati-hati dalam memahami nas syarak agar pengeluaran fatwa yang dilakukan adalah lebih harmoni berkonsepkan ijtihad maqasidi.

Published: January 2023

All approaches to increase corporate zakat collection must be intensified by zakat institutions and supported by corporate company owners so that the annual corporate zakat collection target is achieved despite the challenges that zakat institutions have to go through. Various initiatives have been implemented by zakat institutions such as LZNK by introducing innovative corporate zakat collection promotion methods through the use of zakat logos for corporate companies in the state of Kedah. This effort not only demands the duty of the amil to collect corporate zakat from corporate companies, but it is also a human need for the property to guarantee the blessing of corporate companies in their business when paying Zakat. Thus, this article aims to discuss the concept of using the zakat logo in Kedah. This article will also examine the procedures for obtaining the zakat logo by corporate companies in Kedah. This qualitative study uses documentation, observation, and interview methods in the data collection process. The results of the study found that the use of the zakat logo on corporate companies can increase corporate zakat collection in addition to achieving the objective of zakat shari'a through property care in the aspect of maqasid shari’a. The study also found that only corporate companies that meet the specified conditions are eligible to get a zakat logo from the LZNK such as Muslims, zakat payers at LZNK according to the actual count, and others. It is hoped that this study can provide guidance and references to zakat institutions or certain organizations in managing affairs related to corporate zakat collection in facing the challenges of corporate zakat collection in Malaysia. Further research needs to be done to encourage the use of the zakat logo so that it can be applied by all states in Malaysia so that the corporate zakat collection rate can be optimized from time to time.

Penularan wabak ini telah menyebabkan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) mengisytiharkan COVID-19 sebagai pandemik kerana telah menjejaskan pelbagai sektor terutamanya ekonomi, sosial, pendidikan dan sektor kesihatan tanpa sempadan. Keadaan ini turut memberi kesan kepada institusi dan pusat zakat apabila kadar kemiskinan dalam kalangan pelajar dan lingkungan mereka yang terjejas oleh masalah kesihatan meningkat. Pada masa yang sama, jumlah mereka yang masih tercicir daripada menerima bantuan zakat tetap berlaku. Selain itu, perekodan data golongan asnaf yang kurang efisen juga menjadi antara masalah yang dihadapi dalam penyaluran bantuan. Hal ini memerlukan institusi dan pusat zakat merangka strategi baharu dalam mendepani pandemik ini. Justeru, kajian ini menganalisis strategi Unit Zakat Sedekah dan Wakaf UiTM Cawangan Kelantan (UZSW) dalam pengurusan zakat bagi mendepani pandemik COVID-19. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif. Data dikumpul daripada data sekunder, iaitu laporan tahunan bagi mendapatkan data berkaitan UZSW daripada tahun 2020 hingga 2021. Data primer turut digunakan melalui kaedah temubual bagi mendapatkan maklumat yang tepat mengenai pengagihan zakat asnaf pelajar. Metode observasi juga turut digunakan bagi memahami gerak kerja UZSW dalam memastikan pengagihan zakat dilaksanakan secara efektif. Hasilnya, beberapa tema ditakrifkan daripada data sebelum dianalisis berdasarkan kaedah analisis kandungan.

The Islamic Banking product is meant for Muslim customers and those who are interested to use the Islamic-based product. In the real world, consumers particularly students are not aware of the contents of the products including the product’s information as well as terms and condition. This study intended to examine the Halal Knowledge and Financial Information Disclosure in the selection of Islamic banking products among Muslim student. A survey questionnaire is used for data collection. The sample of this research is among the final year finance degree students. A multiple linear regression model is used for data analysis and discussion. The finding indicates that Halal Knowledge and Financial Information Disclosure are having a significant relationship in the selection of Islamic banking products. Interestingly to note that Muslim students have been exposed to Islamic Banking but not specifically to Halal knowledge in university courses. The exposure to the real Islamic banking sector is still minimal. Information related to Islamic banking products is also unclear and not well marketed. This research is expected to benefit the higher education provider to offer relevant and up-to-date courses related to Islamic banking products. The bankers also need to enhance their product information to serve the interest of this group. Lastly, this study is expected to enrich the literature on Halal Knowledge and Financial Information Disclosure on Islamic banking products.

О НЕКОТОРЫХ ПРОБЛЕМАХ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ БОРЬБЫ С НАРКОМАНИЕЙ В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РОССИИ
Authors: Фарваев Александр Александрович , Юсупов Рахимьян Галимьянович
Published: January 2023

В статье представлены материалы, собранные в ходе исследования степени изученности темы, посвященной правовым основам борьбы с наркоманией в современной России. Установлено, что российское антинаркотическое законодательство представляет собой систему нормативных правовых актов, которую формально можно считать достаточной для борьбы с наркоугрозами. Однако эта борьба ведется с переменным успехом, наркобизнес создает новые угрозы, при этом отдельные правовые нормы остаются несогласованными и не способствуют улучшению наркоситуации в стране. Авторами обобщены взгляды исследователей на данную проблему, внимание сконцентрировано на «неповоротливости» закона при фиксации веществ, составляющих наркоугрозу обществу; назначении слишком мягкого наказания за деяния, связанные с наркотиками и новыми психоактивными веществами; отсутствии в законодательстве четкого толкования ряда терминов, что рассматривается как препятствие для организации профилактических мероприятий и борьбы с наркоманией.
УГОЛОВНО-ПРОЦЕССУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ УГОЛОВНО-ПРАВОВОЙ НОРМЫ ОБ ОСВОБОЖДЕНИИ НЕСОВЕРШЕННОЛЕТНЕГО ОТ НАКАЗАНИЯ С ПОМЕЩЕНИЕМ В СПЕЦИАЛЬНОЕ УЧЕБНО-ВОСПИТАТЕЛЬНОЕ УЧРЕЖДЕНИЕ ЗАКРЫТОГО ТИПА
Authors: Кострова Марина Борисовна
Published: January 2023

На основе анализа норм уголовного и уголовно-про­цессуального права, праворазъяснительной и правоприменительной практики автором выявлены неполнота и противоречивость уголовно-про­цессуального регулирования, не позволяющие сформировать единообразную практику применения уголовно-правовой нормы об освобождении несовершеннолетнего от наказания с помещением в специальное учебно-воспитательное учреждение закрытого типа. Доказывается, что эти проблемы не могут быть решены лишь «точечным» совершенствованием процедурных правил, содержащихся в уголовно-процессуальном законе, по причине неопределенности отраслевой природы меры государственного принуждения в виде помещения несовершеннолетнего в специальное учебно-воспитательное учреждение закрытого типа.
СБЛИЖЕНИЕ АДМИНИСТРАТИВНО-ДЕЛИКТНОГО ПРОЦЕССА С УГОЛОВНЫМ КАК ПРИМЕР НЕУДАЧНОЙ КОНВЕРГЕНЦИИ
Authors: Шарипова Алия Рашитовна
Published: January 2023

Конвергенция процессуального права требует определения всех процессуальных отраслей, способных к ней. Принципиально важным является также определение оптимального варианта нормативного закрепления универсальных процессуальных институтов из числа реализованных в разных отраслях права. В статье отмечается, что современное производство по делам об административных правонарушениях имеет ряд сходств с уголовным процессом. Однако дальнейшее приближение административно-юрисдикционного процесса к уголовному нежелательно, поскольку может привести к чрезмерной для первого степени выраженности его правоограничительных свойств.
