New sources of powdery mildew resistance among winter bread wheat for adjusting the breeding immunological programs in the Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”
Authors: Derova Т. G. , Shishkin N. V. , Kononenko О. S.
Published: July 2021

Systematic work on the development of winter wheat varieties possessing resistance to a complex of the most harmful diseases has been carried out in the Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” since the early 1970s. During this period, there has been created a large number of varieties that possess resistance to 3–4 diseases in conditions of infectious backgrounds of pathogens. Due to the analysis of varieties, there was identified a small number of varieties resistant to powdery mildew. Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Blumeria graminis (DC) Speer, annually occurs on wheat, affecting all aboveground plant organs. Earlier the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” developed and widely cultivated the medium-resistant varieties ‘Tanais’ (2006), ‘Nakhodka’ (2015), ‘Etyud’, ‘Shef’, ‘Lilit’ (2016), ‘Volnitsa’ (2017), ‘Polina’, Yubiley Dona’ , ‘Podarok Krymu’ (2018), ‘Niva Dona’ (2019). In recent years, breeders have developed such varieties with high resistance to the pathogen as ‘Donskaya Step’ (2016), ‘Premiera’, ‘Univer’ (2018), ‘Priazovye’, ‘Zolotoy Kolos’ (2020). But the breeding process of varieties for resistance to powdery mildew is difficult, since it is explained by the small number of effective resistance genes and their sources. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to identify new sources of resistance to the pathogen. Under the conditions of artificial infection, during last 10 years there was conducted a testing of 302 varieties and samples of winter wheat of domestic and foreign breeding. There have not been identified immune varieties. There was identified a small percentage (15.2) of varieties that were resistant to the pathogen. Among the Russian varieties they were ‘L 3191 k-5-8’, ‘Akhmat’, ‘Alievich’, ‘Barier’, ‘Ulyasha’, ‘Knyaginya Olga’, which were not attacked by the disease over the years of testing. Among foreign varieties, the varieties ‘Bombus’, ‘Sailor’ (France), ‘Etana’, ‘Rotax’, ‘KVS-Emil’ (Germany), ‘Fidelius’ (Austria), ‘MV 09-04’ (Hungary) were identified as the best ones in their resistance to powdery mildew. All identified sources of resistance have been recommended in breeding programs for immunity.
Mental health and well-being of LGBT+ Veterans dismissed from the British Armed Forces before January 2000

Published: July 2021

LAY SUMMARY

Between 1955 and January 2000, the UK Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence enforced a ban on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and related (LGBT+) service, dismissing or forcing the immediate retirement of thousands of personnel because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. They fell on hard times and were left isolated and unsupported by the nation they had proudly stood to defend. Although more than 21 years has elapsed since the ban was lifted, little academic literature has explored the ban’s impact on the mental health and well-being of the United Kingdom’s LGBT+ Veteran community. Anecdotal evidence suggests many still endure consequential hardship and mental health struggles and remain isolated from the military family and traditional support services. Fighting With Pride, an LGBT+ military charity launched in January 2020, and Northumbria University’s Veterans and Military Families Research Hub joined in partnership to remedy this by determining mental health and well-being impacts and consequences and identifying recovery pathways. Lived experience narratives must be used to help build support ahead of the publication of any formal findings. Research-based evidence is vital in helping to develop recovery and support policy and in further shaping support services to develop the best possible impact-related outcomes.

Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to the analysis of legal issues concerning funding of conservation measures. Features of legal framework of relations in the field of funding of conservation measures in Ukraine were established. Special attention was given to the problems of budget funding of conservation measures in the field of protection from harmful impact of rural and agricultural areas waste waters. Based on the analysis of the legislation in force and the practice of its enforcement, we concluded that funding of conservation measures, including those in the field of protection from harmful impact of rural and agricultural areas waste waters, has low effectiveness as a result of non-targeted use of funds from environmental tax and rental payments, funding of conservation measures by residual principle, inconsistencies in budget and environmental legislation, and absence of effective government control over the procedure of funding and executing policy documents concerning environment protection and state authorities’ responsibility for improper performance of their duties. Amendments to the legislation in force were suggested in order to improve economic and legal environment protection mechanism. Keywords: environment, conservation measures, protection from harmful impact of waste waters, resource oriented measures, flood

Published: July 2021

The article analyzes the contracts and licensing regulations in the field of amber mining. It is noted that Ukraine from the first years of independence began to develop local amber deposits and immediately encountered problems similar to those of amber plants in Russia and Poland: lack of protection of natural resources from looting and destruction, theft at all stages of exploration. exploration work, illegal amber mining and trafficking, illegal fishing by miners (diggers), etc. Ukraine ranks second in the world in terms of amber deposits, which also has the world's highest percentage of amber jewelry quality. It is determined that the problem of illegal amber mining has become especially relevant, as cases and volumes of such amber production have grown significantly. The issue of illegal amber mining and smuggling is also widely discussed in the media, as journalistic investigations often show that officials and high-ranking officials play a significant role in sustaining and benefiting from this shadow business, although these rumors are not officially confirmed. It is concluded that in modern conditions the issue of permitting regulation of legal amber mining and punishment of subjects of its illegal mining is on the agenda. Significant progress in permitting regulation was the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in December 2019 of the Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Settlement of Amber Mining» № 2240, which amended the Subsoil Code of Ukraine, which introduced a new species subsoil use «geological study of amber subsoil, including experimental and industrial development of deposits with subsequent extraction of amber (industrial development of deposits»), as well as the presence of a mandatory permit for special subsoil use for subjects of amber subsoil use.

Legal status of officials and officials: the problem of definition of concepts
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Olena Yara
Published: July 2021

The article examines the problem of delimitation of legal status: official and official. The category of legal status is an important component for every participant in public relations, because such a status will depend on the scope of his civil rights and responsibilities, which is especially relevant for an official or official. It was found that today the issues of the studied categories, namely «legal status of an official» and «legal status of an official» still remain relevant because there is no unanimous position for their delimitation. It is clear that the categories of «official», «official» occupy a leading position in the field of public administration, criminal law, litigation, other areas of law and legislation. These categories should be key in the preparation of regulations relating to the civil service, regulation of law enforcement agencies, determining the legal responsibility of persons holding certain positions in the civil service. Conclusions are made where, given that at the legislative level there is no single definition of «official» and «official», and the proposed definitions in legal science are mainly sectoral in nature, the priority is: first, the definition in the Law «On basics of civil service», which must be adopted, the concepts of «official» and «official» and their features. The task of today's legislator is the need to differentiate them. Therefore, when determining the grounds for assigning persons to the categories of officials or officials should be guided by the relevant legislation governing certain relations. Regarding the legal status of officials and officials, the conclusion was that a significant factor in distinguishing these categories, unfortunately, is not legal status, because without a clear distinction between the basic concepts of «official» and «official», we can not fully describe the differences in this status. Keywords: service, position, legal status, civil service, official, employee, official
Institute of specialized anti-corruption prosecutor’s office in Ukraine and foreign countries: comparative and legal analysis
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Olena Uliutina
Published: July 2021

The article examines the institute of specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office in Ukraine and compares it with the legal support of the institute of anti-corruption prosecutor's office in foreign countries. It is determined that the establishment of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine (SAP of Ukraine) took place at a time when a number of anti-corruption laws were adopted, the so-called anti-corruption package, which became the main requirement of the European Union for further integration of Ukraine as a member. It is investigated that the SAP of Ukraine occupies a special place in the criminal justice system of Ukraine, and as part of the system of prosecutors is endowed with special powers that significantly distinguish it from other structural elements of this system. Instead, belonging to the prosecutor's office and organizational subordination and dependence on the leadership of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, according to many experts, scientists is a significant problem that significantly affects the effectiveness of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine. It is concluded that the emergence of the SAP of Ukraine is objectively due to the desire of society to create an effective state anti-corruption mechanism for criminal prosecution of corruption crimes and those who committed them. Analysis of foreign theory and practice of prosecutorial activity suggests that the legitimization of specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office in some European countries is based on the legal postulate of liberal constitutional and legal doctrine on non-recognition of the absolute nature of unity and hierarchical dependence of the constitution. legality and independence. Keywords: prosecutor's office, prosecutor, corruption, specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office, corruption, anti-corruption reform

The article analyzes the current state of legal support of quarantine requirements and sanitary rules and regulations for the prevention of infectious diseases in foreign countries and Ukraine. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the current legislation of some foreign countries and Ukraine on the grounds for establishing liability for violation of quarantine and sanitary norms and rules. It has been established that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the governments of different states to introduce administrative and criminal liability in case of violation of quarantine and sanitary norms and rules. To ensure these measures, penalties for non-compliance with the quarantine regime have been introduced, with penalties ranging from warning to imprisonment and even the death penalty. It is established that in Ukraine the issues of administrative and criminal liability for violation of quarantine and sanitary rules and regulations for the prevention of infectious diseases are regulated by Articles 42, 44-3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 325 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is determined that one of the problems of ineffective application of Articles 44-3, 42 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 325 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is an array of new rules for the prevention of COVID-19, which is constantly changing and introduced by various law enforcement agencies. The study found that despite the adoption of regulations that established liability for violations of statutory rules and regulations introduced by both foreign countries and Ukraine to prevent COVID-19, they have a number of legal conflicts, inconsistencies and gaps.

Published: July 2021

Ketidakseimbangan beban pada suatu sistem distribusi tenaga listrik selalu terjadi dan ketidakseimbangan tersebut adalah pada beban-beban satu fasa di pelanggan jaringan tegangan rendah. Akibat ketidakseimbangan beban tersebut muncullah arus di netral trafo. Arus yang mengalir di netral trafo ini menyebabkan terjadinya losses, yaitu losses akibat adanya arus netral pada penghantar netral trafo dan losses akibat arus netral yang mengalir ke tanah.Penambahan beban pada gardu distribusi KP-01 di desa Hative Kecil dalam kurun waktu tahun 2014 sampai dengan 2015 yang signifikan tanpa memperhitungkan pembagian beban trafo, dampaknya begitu terasa bagi konsumen, sehingga terjadinya kerugian tegangan maupun daya yang sangat besar. Data hasil pengukuran siang hari maupun malam hari (beban puncak) yang dilakukan pada gardu distribusi KP-01di desa Hative Kecil, terlihat bahwa tegangan (V) dan arus (I), serta hasil perhitungan daya semu (S) tidak sama besar pada setiap fasa (R,S dan T).Berdasarkan hasil analisa, bahwa pengaruh ketidakseimbangan beban terhadap arus netral dan losses daya pada trafo distribusi gardu kp-01 desa hative kecil diperoleh (i) losses (rugi) daya akibat adanya arus pada penghantar netral (PN) pada siang hari sebesar 5,52 % dan pada malam hari sebesar 7,12 %. (ii) losses (rugi) daya akibat arus netral yang mengalir ke tanah (PG) pada siang hari sebesar 9,36 % dan pada malam hari sebesar 12,71 %.

Higher School Teacher’s Competences and “Electronic” Pedagogical Culture in the Post-Pandemic World
Authors: Isaeva T. E.
Published: July 2021

During the period of the forced remote learning caused by the threat of the coronavirus infection spread, Russian university teachers, as well as their foreign colleagues, had to acquire quickly new skills in the field of information technologies and organization of classes exclusively in electronic mode. However, the changes in the structure of the teachers’ personality were not limited only to informational and methodological competences. The relevance of this research is to test the hypothesis about the emergence of a new type of teacher’s pedagogical culture, characterized by a special awareness of the humanistic and social role of a teacher in the course of e-learning. The aim is to study the content of a new type of pedagogical culture, as well as its structural components performed by the competences, the presence of which was actualized during the pandemic. The theoretical research methods (study and analysis of scientific publications on the teachers’ competences, especially in demand during the pandemic, synthesis, systematization, comparison, etc.) and empirical methods (conversation, questioning, observation) were used in the study. The conducted empirical research, as well as the analysis of domestic and foreign publications show that, despite a short-term nature of remote learning, the transformations in pedagogical culture have the character of a qualitative leap and are global in nature, as they have affected the teachers in all countries. This allows us to declare the emergence of a new type of pedagogical culture, namely the “electronic” pedagogical culture of a higher school teacher, which is a natural result of the development of “basic” culture and is characterized by a change in priorities in the structure and in the content of its constituent blocks of competences. The article compares real changes in the structure of a teacher’s personality with forecasts regarding the “competences of the future”, as well as with the “information pedagogical culture”, which is believed to have arisen in the process of information technologies penetration into the educational process. The scientific novelty of the research consists in substantiating the possibility of transforming the “basic” pedagogical culture of the teacher under the influence of external and internal factors. In theoretical terms, the study expands the scientific understanding of the essence of the teacher’s pedagogical culture, the patterns of its development and transformation, as well as its competence-based structural organization.

Considering the rich experience of using multimedia presentations as a teaching tool in higher education, in order to introduce new approaches and develop a methodology, there is a need to identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing practices, in particular to identify the emotional attitude of university students to existing lectures and presentations in the educational process and determine relevant opportunities to improve the practice of using interactive and visual educational tools.The empirical basis of the study was the results of a survey of students of 2–4 undergraduate courses at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the 2019–2020 academic year. The survey involved 404 respondents. To process the obtained data, we used the Google Forms and Microsoft Office Excel programs, general scientific methods (comparison, generalization), statistical analysis methods, as well as content analysis.The empirical study showed a high level of student satisfaction with the volume and effectiveness of multimedia presentations used in the educational process, and also confirmed the theoretical ideas about the advantages and limitations of linear form presentations that dominate in the educational environment. Critical remarks included design errors, oversaturation of visual material, activity out of sync, and flaws in speaker behavior. Among the new techniques for working with presentation materials, photographing slides was noted. An important observation was the students’ request for self-sufficient visual materials of lectures and access to them.Prospects and opportunities for transforming familiar lectures and the learning environment as a whole were identified taking into account the existing experience of presentations at the university; ways of solving the problems with students’ perception and acquisition of material are proposed and specific recommendations are given for organizing a wide range of classes with visual and interactive components, today these are, first of all, remote online courses (MOOC, e-learning) and new forms of organization classroom activities (“flipped classroom”).

The paper describes typical versions of conservation and restoration work operated on architectural monuments located in cities of the South of West Siberia (using the example of Omsk, Omsk Oblast, Russia); on the one hand, such efforts can drive at preservation of original function of an architectural constructions, on the other hand, it can lead to shift in its role. The author outlines her own view on the current tasks of renovation and preservation of true figure of provincial architectural complexes (including religion monuments) that have cultural, historical and semiotical value.

EVERY NOW AND then, due to some egregious blunder or blatant overreach on the part of government agencies or tech companies, concerns about surveillance and technology break out beyond the confines of academic specialists and into the public consciousness: the Snowden leaks about the NSA in 2013, the Facebook emotional manipulation study in 2014, the Cambridge Analytica scandal in the wake of the 2016 election. These moments seem to elicit a vague anxiety that ultimately dissipates as quickly as it materialized. Concerns about the NSA are now rarely heard, and while Facebook has experienced notable turbulence, it is not at all clear that meaningful regulation will follow or that a significant number of users will abandon the platform. Indeed, the chief effect of these fleeting moments of surveillance anxiety may be a gradual inoculation to them. In my experience, most people are not only untroubled by journalistic critiques of exploitative surveillance practices; they may even be prepared to defend them: There are trade-offs, yes, but privacy appears to be a reasonable price to pay for convenience or security.

This attitude is not new. In the late 1960s, researcher Alan Weston divided the population into three groups according to their attitudes toward privacy: fundamentalists, who are generally reluctant to share personal information; the unconcerned, who are untroubled and unreflective about privacy; and pragmatists, who report some concern about privacy but are also willing to weigh the benefits they might receive in exchange for disclosing personal information. He found then that the majority of Americans were privacy pragmatists, and subsequent studies have tended to confirm those findings. When Westin updated his research in 2000, he concluded that privacy pragmatists amounted to 55 percent of the population, while 25 percent were fundamentalists and 20 percent were unconcerned.

GAZING INTO TIKTOK’S For You Page—an algorithmically curated, personalized feed that shows videos the platform thinks you will like, learning over time what kind of content will increase your engagement—can be like looking into a hall of mirrors. It’s hard to know if its at times uncanny accuracy stems from superior analytics and data harvesting (which are widely mythologized and which companies are often incentivized to oversell) or from the fact that most users can be guided to generally predictable categories. On TikTok, comments like “so we’re really all living the same life huh?” are not uncommon. There may also be an availability bias to those occasions when the algorithm guesses really, really right: We remember those, while forgetting the videos that didn’t click.

Sometimes the For You Page algorithm is extremely literal, clumsy, and obvious in its techniques: Watch a video of a girl who happens to be a hijabi; be presented with three more hijabis the next day. Despite this, the algorithm can begin to seem to know users better than they know themselves. Its occasional clumsiness and errors in taste may lower users’ defenses, creating a randomness that may offset the creepiness of being accurately pigeonholed.

JORGE IS A 25-year old Puerto Rican New Yorker who lives in the NYCHA public housing projects. Smart and motivated, he has a sophisticated understanding of how other people judge him online: 

They [privileged people] kind of dictate what’s good to say because we’re trying to appeal to them. Because they’re the ones who have the jobs, and they’re the ones who have the money to give us jobs, so we don’t want to say anything that would … make us seem lesser in their eyes. I mean in a lot of ways we don’t really care, but we have to pretend that we do. And that’s kind of what I think Facebook is, it’s the performance of, “No look, I’m viable for this, I’m viable for that. I’m vanilla enough so everyone enjoys me.”

To Jorge, social status and class limit his ability to express himself online. To seem acceptable to the economically privileged, he and his friends must perform staid, conservative selves online: what he calls “vanilla.” Otherwise, their educational and economic opportunities may be limited….
Existence Precedes Likes: How Online Behaviour Defines Us

ONE OF THE hallmarks of existentialism is its particular emphasis on the concept of ‘anguish’, understood as the feeling we experience when we grasp our radical responsibility in defining who we are – individually and as a species. If human beings have no predetermined essence written in the heavens, as existentialists argue, and we can be pinned down only as something based on our actual existence, then our actions – for which we are responsible – are the only measures of what it is to be a human being.

The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre summarised this idea with the statement that for humans ‘existence precedes essence’. But the corollary of his existentialist take on our being is the tormenting realisation that we are nothing outside of what we make of ourselves; or, in other words, that we are absolutely responsible for our existence. In fact, it is not only our individuality that we are responsible for when we choose; in his lecture Existentialism Is a Humanism (1946) at least, Sartre claims that we also commit the rest of humanity when engaging in a particular way of being. He argues that, since every single one of our actions creates an image of humanity as we think we ought to be, we should then always ask ourselves: ‘What would happen if everyone did as one is doing?’ When we truly confront this question, we become aware of the extent of our responsibility towards humankind, leading to an unavoidable feeling of anguish – a kind of dizziness prompted by the realisation of our enormous duty.
