PROBLEMS OF THE FORMATION OF THE SOVIET BAR: ITS ORIGIN, ITS DESTRUCTION AND REVIVAL IN THE SOVIET STATE
Authors: ТАНИЧЕВ Г.В.
Published: July 2024

Как исторически известно, сформировавшись к 1917 году, после Октябрьской революции 1917 г. адвокатура в России была ликвидирована и объявлена вне закона. Что же послужило причиной такого решения властей того времени, как возрождалась адвокатура, какими правомочиями в последующем были наделены ее правозащитники, мы исследуем в данной статье. В результате автор приходит к следующим выводам. Хотя в период становления и развития советская адвокатура и была ущемлена во многих сферах, подвергалась жесткому контролю со стороны властей, всячески принижалась органами власти советского времени, но указанный социально-правовой институт считался все же важнейшим правозащитным институтом, который был необходим стране в сложные периоды своего становления.

As is historically known, having been formed by 1917, after the October Revolution of 1917 the Bar in Russia was liquidated and outlawed. What was the reason for such a decision of the authorities of that time, how the Bar was revived, and what powers its human rights defenders were subsequently endowed with, we investigate in this article. As a result, the author comes to the following conclusions. Although in the period of formation and development of the Soviet Bar and was infringed in many areas, subjected to strict control by the authorities, in every way belittled by the authorities of the Soviet time, but the mentioned social and legal institution was still considered the most important human rights institution, which was necessary for the country in the difficult periods of its formation.

Authors: Arroyo Barbara
Published: July 2024

Gustavo Espinoza fue un inspector general del Instituto de Antropología e Historia de Guatemala que trabajó durante varias décadas en sitios arqueológicos de Guatemala. Sus últimos años los dedicó al sitio arqueológico Kaminaljuyu, ubicado en el valle central del Altiplano guatemalteco. A finales de la década de los 50, Espinoza llevó a cabo un hallazgo de gran importancia, pero nunca académicamente publicado, al que se refirió como “Tumba Miraflores”. Años más tarde, Carson Murdy (1986) incluyó datos de este hallazgo en su tesis doctoral. Sin embargo, su relevancia quedó en el olvido hasta que en marzo del 2023 se encontraron algunas de las notas de campo de Espinoza con descripciones más detalladas en el archivo de Kaminaljuyu de la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania. Este artículo aborda la información recuperada en las notas de Espinoza y destaca su importancia para comprender la historia del sitio a finales del periodo Preclásico, cuando tuvo lugar su primer declive. Los datos incluidos aquí aclaran la procedencia de la Escultura 12 conocida como marcador de juego de pelota de Kaminaljuyu y vinculada a la Acrópolis, además de ampliar datos sobre la crisis del Preclásico Tardío en el sitio.
Türkiye’de Asgari ücretin Makroekonomik Belirleyicileri Üzerine Teorik ve Ampirik bir Analiz
Authors: Altunöz Utku
Published: July 2024

This study aims to comprehensively examine the macroeconomic factors influencing the determination of minimum wage in Turkey from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The analysis includes variables such as real minimum wage, unionization rates, inflation levels, unemployment rates, real economic growth (GDP), and labor productivity. The findings indicate a positive relationship between unionization rates and the minimum wage, with inflation also leading to an increase in the minimum wage. Conversely, higher unemployment rates are found to decrease the minimum wage, while economic growth positively impacts it. Increased labor productivity, however, is associated with a decrease in the minimum wage. Additionally, dummy variables for crisis periods were not statistically significant. These results highlight the importance of considering various macroeconomic factors in the formulation of minimum wage policies. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for policymakers and pave the way for future research. Key Words: Minimum wage, Unemployment, CPI, GDP, ARDL Model. JEL Codes: E1, E24, J3.
REVOLUTIONARY TACTICS: ABOLISH PRIVACY
Authors: Lim Elisha
Published: July 2024

This paper conducts a survey of the term “privacy” in mainstream media usage. This paper finds that "internet privacy" is mistakenly promoted as a civil right. Although real civil rights privacy infractions are accelerating at an unprecedented rate due to the rise of algorithmic governance in the carceral system, healthcare and welfare, these issues are not the focus of mainstream “privacy” concerns, which instead focus on consumer entitlements. This paper conducted a discourse analysis of fourteen left and right-wing newspapers in 3 countries over 2019 to trace the rise of privacy as a civil right. A set of keywords was used in order to build the universe of articles whose main focus concerned privacy.

Authors: Belyaev I. A. , Korkin O. V. , Malkova O. G. , Levit A. L.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Septic myocarditis is a rare disease (from 10 to 22 cases per 100 000 people). The cause of death is usually acute heart failure, hemodynamically significant cardiac arrhythmias, or thromboembolism. Patients in critical condition suffering from infectious myocarditis require massive cardiotonic support to maintain the necessary cardiac output with reduced myocardial contractile function, which leads to an increase in the need for cardiomyocytes for oxygen and aggravates their damage. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) allows partial or complete replacement of cardiac function and reduces the dose of inotropic drugs, improve oxygen delivery and thereby contribute to the rapid restoration of cardiac function.

The purpose of this publication is to demonstrate in a clinical case the successful experience of ECMO in the treatment of a patient with septic myocarditis in the early postpartum period.

Materials and methods. A 28-year-old patient, data from medical records at the previous stages of treatment and at the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1.

Results. On the third day of treatment, the patient’s condition worsened due to the progression of cardiovascular and respiratory failure. A veno-arterial ECMO procedure was initiated, which lasted 6 days.

Discussion. Positive dynamics in the patient’s condition were observed during six days of ECMO (normalization of echocardiography parameters, levels of cardiac enzymes and natriuretic peptide).

Conclusion. Veno-arterial ECMO as a temporary method of mechanical support of the left ventricle and prosthetic pulmonary function can be successfully used until their recovery in patients with septic myocarditis in the postpartum period.

Introduction. Primary Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Leg Type it is a rare variant of skin lymphoma that has an aggressive course and a high risk of extracutaneous manifestations.

The purpose of this work is to familiarize a wide range of specialists with the clinical manifestations of a rare disease — primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Materials and methods. An interesting clinical case is presented and the medical history of a patient with B-cell lymphoma from the skin is analyzed.

Results. A differential diagnosis of the disease was made. Based on the study of histological material, the final clinical diagnosis was established and further treatment tactics were determined.

Discussion. The patient had spots and plaques on the lower extremities, the sole visible signs of the disease. These symptoms may suggest a positive prognosis and a gradual progression. Diagnostic measures should include gathering medical history, assessing the local condition, and carrying out an excision biopsy early in the examination process for an accurate and prompt diagnosis

Conclusion. Due to the rarity of this subtype of lymphoma and the limited number of domestic publications on the topic, a more detailed study and description of individual clinical cases can lead to a better understanding of the characteristics of the symptoms and the processes of pathological changes in cells, tissues, and organs. This could potentially lead to the development of more efficient methods for early diagnosis and timely treatment of the condition.

Authors: Митенков Алексей Владимирович
Published: July 2024

Начало ХХI века привнесло в жизнь социума значительные глобальные изменения, охватывающие практически все аспекты жизнедеятельности. Преобразования затрагивают и сферу менеджмента организаций, что обусловливает необходимость трансформации системы управления для обеспечения устойчивого функционирования организаций в этих условиях. Однако любые изменения неизбежно вызывают противоречия и разногласия среди заинтересованных сторон. Эффективное устранение и преодоление этих конфликтов является ключевым фактором, способствующим успешной реализации трансформационных проектов. В первой части исследования (Том 51, № 1 журнала «Экономика. Информатика») автором представлены результаты теоретического обзора и анализа учений о конфликте сторон при трансформациях. Сделан вывод о движущей силе конструктивного конфликта, который приводит к диалектическому развитию в ходе организационных изменений. Во второй, то есть в представленной части исследования, раскрыта концепция такого способа урегулирования конфликтов в менеджменте организаций, как фасилитация, а также представлены результаты изучения ее методов и техник. Представлены структурированные алгоритмы по подбору средств и методов фасилитации в соответствии с заданными критериями и раскрыт потенциал фасилитации в отношении устранения противоречий при принятии решений относительно изменений системы управления. Автором предлагается обновленный инструментарий фасилитации «интегральная фасилитация», который в авторской концепции и методологии трансформации системы управления является важным элементом, задача которой состоит как во внешнем стимулировании группы к выработке «хороших» решений по изменениям, так и к последующей их реализации за счет устранения конфликтной составляющей путем перевода деструктивной энергии конфликта в целенаправленный вектор мышления и действия группы в нужном направлении. Представленное исследование возможно к использованию экспертами-практиками для проведения стратегических сессий при трансформации систем управления промышленных предприятий.

Authors: Кудинов Виталий Алексеевич , Бородина Мария Евгеньевна
Published: July 2024

Семантический анализ текста активно исследуется в качестве важного направления компьютерной лингвистики. Достижения в его развитии можно проследить в интеллектуальных системах, осуществляющих обработку текста на естественном языке. Один из видов таких систем направлен на поиск и исправление ошибок в тексте. Однако подобные системы неспособны работать со специальной лексикой научных текстов, следовательно, задача поиска лексико-семантических ошибок, связанных с неправильным употреблением термина, не может быть переложена на интеллектуальную систему, так как для этого отсутствует соответствующее теоретическое и программное решение. В связи с чем целью исследования является формализация задачи обнаружения ошибочного использования термина предметной области в русскоязычном тексте. Постановка задачи следует из её практического применения и предметной области. Предложенная математическая модель задачи описана с помощью понятийного аппарата теории множеств. Осуществлен переход к математической модели онтологии и ее логическому описанию, позволяющему в дальнейшем разработать онтологию предметной области для обнаружения ошибочного использования термина в тексте на языке описания онтологий OWL 2. В ходе формализации задачи, также указывающей на использование спроектированной онтологии, предложен механизм сравнения контекстов термина из обрабатываемого текста и онтологии. Произведена оценка ошибок первого и второго рода, сформирован алгоритм принятия решения о наличии или отсутствия связи анализируемого термина и предметной области онтологии. Таким образом, результатом исследования является формализация подхода к обнаружению ошибочного использования термина в русскоязычном научном тексте на основе онтологии предметной области.

Modern technologies using an «electronic nose» imitating the human sense of smell open up new prospects for the objective assessment of the organoleptic properties of polymer materials. The purpose of the study was to compare the level of emissions of volatile organic compounds from modern base materials used in various technological processes for the manufacture of removable denture structures, as well as to assess the possible organoleptic properties of the finished dentures in comparison with known analogues using an «electronic nose» gas analyzer. For this purpose, samples were made from different polymer base materials in the amount of 26 pieces, which were studied using an “electronic nose” gas analyzer using the author’s method [Kuchmenko et al., 2023]. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed improved technology in reducing the noise level of volatile organic compounds in samples made from the «Belakril-E GO» base material by 29 % compared to similar samples produced using standard technology. A reduction in the amount of volatile organic compounds that can cause unwanted odors confirms the higher purity and quality of the polymer and will contribute to a more comfortable adaptation of patients to removable dentures made from this polymer.

Published: July 2024

Рассматривается дифрагированное переходное излучение (ДПИ), возбуждаемое пучком ультрарелятивистских электронов, проходящих через тонкую монокристаллическую пластину в геометрии рассеяния Лауэ. Получено выражение, описывающее угловую плотность ДПИ для случая, когда путь электронов в мишени значительно меньше, чем длина экстинкции рентгеновских фотонов в кристалле. Проведенные численные расчеты выхода фотонов ДПИ в направлении рассеяния Брэгга для различных значений телесного угла регистрации показывают значительное влияние расходимости электронного пучка на выход фотонов. Делается заключение о возможности использования выхода ДПИ, имитированного в заданный телесный угол, для индикации расходимости электронного пучка. Результаты расчетов показывают, что предлагаемая в настоящей работе формула может быть базой для развития метода измерения расходимости пучка релятивистских электронов ультравысокой энергии на основе углового распределения ДПИ.

Published: July 2024

Спонтанная автолокализация деформации в деформируемых металлах и сплавах представляет негативное явление, которое ухудшает их эксплуатационные физико-химические, прочностные, антикоррозионные свойства и может вызвать внезапное разрушение. Особенно эта проблема важна для высокотехнологичных алюминиевых сплавов, в которых наблюдаются полосы локализованной деформации Чернова – Людерса и полосы Портевена –Ле Шателье. В работе методом высокоскоростной видеосъемки и компьютерной обработки цифровых изображений исследуется динамика и морфология деформационных полос, инициированных концентраторами напряжения различной природы в алюминий-магниевом сплаве, деформируемом в условиях одноосного растяжения. Установлено, что даже коррозионные пятна, мелкие царапины и отпечатки индентора способны инициировать зарождение и распространение в объем материала полос макролокализованной деформации, взаимодействие которых вызывает развитие магистральной трещины.

Assessment of Community Participation in Forest Conservation in Ondo State, Nigeria
Authors: S. F. Arifalo,
Published: July 2024

This study examines community participation in forest conservation in Ondo State, Nigeria, exploring the socio-economic dynamics and the effectiveness of decentralized forest management. Amidst escalating environmental degradation and forest depletion, this research highlights the critical role local communities’ play in the stewardship of forest reserves. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and field observations involving 200 households across multiple communities adjacent to forest reserves. The findings reveal a strong community willingness to engage in forest conservation, with a substantial proportion of respondents prepared to accept financial incentives to aid in conservation efforts. The study also uncovers a significant correlation between socioeconomic factors—such as income levels, educational attainment, and proximity to forests—and the willingness to participate in conservation initiatives. Despite the readiness to support forest preservation, the research identifies a glaring lack of awareness and involvement in existing forest conservation programs. It is recommended that enhanced community education on the benefits of forest conservation, the introduction of more robust economic incentives, increased community involvement in conservation decision-making, and the strengthening of legal frameworks to protect forest resources. These steps are essential for sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation in the area, which could serve as a model for similar regions globally.

This study investigates the impact of the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) on rice production in the Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area, Ekiti State. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 150 smallholder rice farmers, with 75 having access to ABP loans and 75 without access. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression, multiple regression, and budgetary techniques were employed for data analysis. The return on investment (ROI) for farmers with ABP loans was 2.48, compared to 2.39 for those without, indicating higher profitability for loan beneficiaries. The average age of respondents was 60.3 years, with 87.3% males, 73.3% having formal education, and 62% married. The mean farming experience was 15.9 years, with an average household size of four members and a farm size of 3.8 acres. Significant factors influencing access to ABP loans included age, educational background, and household size (p<0.05). Additionally, educational background, household size, farm size, and access to ABP loans significantly affected net income from rice production (p<0.05). The study concludes that ABP loans positively impact rice production profitability and recommends that more farmers be given access to these loans to enhance rice production in the area.

Published: July 2024

This paper addresses the conceptual exploration of various issues that form an integral part of the ethical dimensions surrounding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of marketing. We critically review some of the main ethical challenges AI poses to humanity: privacy, data security, bias, transparency, and accountability. Therefore, we will discuss the delicate balance between exploiting the transformation potential of AI for personally designed marketing strategies and ethical imperatives to safeguard the rights of consumers to retain trust. Then, the present regulatory landscape responding to these ethical challenges will be assessed by building on effective regulation, like the GDPR, existing proposed legislative frameworks, and industry guidelines. To underscore the role of an ongoing dialogue between marketers, technologists, ethicists, and regulators for developing a responsible AI ecosystem in marketing. Further, strategic recommendations for implementing company-based ethical AI marketing practices. The further strong guidelines provide enhancement transparency to consumers and investment in research to remove biases from algorithms. It also underscores principal scopes of further research and development, focusing on the need for new-age solutions to guide the ethical quagmires that AI-led marketing throws up. We suggest that integration should be done proactively and collaboratively. Thus, if attention is paid more to ethics and multidisciplinary dialogue, only such hyperbolic promises can be realized by AI-driven marketing. There are promises through which AI-driven marketing will meet business goals and be huge at societies' values.

Published: July 2024

With flexible learning, students are actively engaged in their own education and are held to high standards of performance. Online academic courses make it easier for students to receive personalized education because they provide students with more flexibility to concentrate on what is most important to them and give them greater control over their own education. This study’s objective was to investigate whether there is a correlation between how well students succeed in online classes and the extent to which they make use of the schedule and the geographical and resource flexibility offered by such programmes. This article uses a developing approach for predicting and classifying the flexibility in online learning of students who are at risk of failing due to academic and demographic variables. The K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, the random forest (RF) method, and the logistic regression method were used to categorise the students participating in flexible online learning. The information for the dataset came from Kaggle, and it was gathered for use in testing machine learning. The dataset had a total of 1,875 instances representing 11 different features. Also, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and f-score metrics were applied to evaluate the system. The results show that the RF algorithm has a high accuracy percentage of 85%. The empirical findings demonstrate that students formed distinct patterns of learning time, location and access to knowledge. This suggests that flexibility was used to a significant degree. Patterns in learning time and the availability of learning materials were shown to have a substantial relationship with the accomplishments of the students. Understanding flexibility use habits may help adapt lessons and boost collaboration among similar students.

This study explores the factors affecting CliQ payment service adoption in Jordan as it represents a major shift in the Jordanian market to Fintech and mobile marketing. This study presented a distinctive model by integrating the “unified theory of acceptance” and the “technology acceptance model” TAM with the “use of technology UTAUT” to measure the behavioral intention of consumers and the satisfaction of the users towards utilizing the CliQ service. The study measured the linkage between four predictors (perceived usefulness, social influence, perceived ease of use, and financial risk) as well as both utilizers’ intention to CliQ service usage and utilizers’ satisfaction with using the service, along with observing the association between these predictors to determine their contribution to the users’ satisfaction mediated by the users’ intention to utilize the service mentioned above. A survey instrument was distributed to 604 respondents, and it was developed and validated by academics, as a pilot test. As well as a pre-test. Hypotheses were tested with multiple linear regression analysis using SmartPLS software to interpret path coefficients, and reliability and validity within the outer model were tested through correlation analysis. Additionally, internal consistency was explored by applying Cronbach’s alpha. The outcomes proved that the predictors significantly affect both utilizers’ behavioral attitudes and satisfaction with using the CliQ service, except for financial risk. The data analysis also indicated a significant indirect influence of all the independent variables on utilizers’ satisfaction through behavioral intention to utilize the CliQ service, except for financial risk, which had an insignificant indirect influence on utilizers’ satisfaction through behavioral intention for service usage. The findings of the current article close the gap found in the literature concerning measuring usability to enhance user satisfaction and adoption of Fintech services. Therefore, bank managers and policy planners can find insights for developing and improving mobile banking apps.

Advancements in technology have had a profound impact on the way we learn, teach, and access knowledge. From online learning platforms to interactive educational games and virtual reality simulations, technology has transformed the traditional classroom into a dynamic, engaging, and inclusive space for education. One of the promising advancements in the field of artificial intelligence technology is ChatGPT which offers personalized and effective learning experiences by providing students with customized feedback and explanation. The effect of ChatGPT must be compared with the effect of Google at the educational level since both present a source of information and explanation. Thus, this study aims at investigating the differences between these two learning sources to measure their effectiveness from different perspectives. The model proposed in this study was evaluated using the PLS-SEM approach, utilizing data collected from 153 university students in the UAE. The results of this evaluation indicate that the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) has a significant impact on user acceptance, mediated by information quality, system quality, perceived learning value, and perceived satisfaction. These factors play a crucial role in determining users' acceptance of the GPT. However, it is important to note that some aspects of the model were not supported, suggesting that they do not have a significant predictive effect on the use of ChatGPT. Nonetheless, the findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on AI and environmental sustainability, providing valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and AI product developers. These insights can help guide the development and implementation of AI technologies in a way that aligns with users' needs and preferences while considering the larger environmental context.
