Theoretical and Applied Analysis of the Category "Obstruction" in the Articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Korennaya Anna
Published: May 2023

The article considers the elements of crimes of a special part of the Criminal law, containing the category "obstruction" as a constructive element of the objective or subjective side. The methodological basis of the research is the classical general scientific methods of cognition, as well as special methods of legal research, in particular, comparative legal, empirical, as well as the method of legal practice, and linguistic means of cognition of the studied category, which allows us to establish the meaning of the term in its original understanding before its implementation in criminal law. The analysis allows us to conclude that there are ambiguous approaches in understanding the content of obstruction as an independent criminal legal category. Firstly, it refers to various elements of the corpus delicti. Secondly, in some compositions, the fulfillment of the objective side of the crime committed by obstruction is possible only by action, and in others by inaction. In Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, obstruction is the result of illegal activity, which corresponds to the lexical meaning of the term in question. However, such an understanding gives rise to a qualification question about the possibility or impossibility of qualifying acts according to the rules of the multiple offences. According to the results of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law regarding the use of the category "obstruction" is subject to change: it is necessary to attribute obstruction exclusively to the signs of the objective side, in its legal and lexical meaning it cannot be the purpose of committing a crime. The norm of Art . 169 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is subject to exclusion, since the methods of committing a crime are excess and abuse of official powers, responsibility for which is provided for in the chapter on official crimes. When describing obstruction as a sign of the objective side of the crime, an indication of the commission of a crime in any form should be excluded, since this creates problems in law enforcement practice in terms of additional qualifications if the method of obstruction is an independent crime.

Authors: Kazantseva Olesya
Published: May 2023

The research covers a comprehensive analysis of the institute of independent anti-corruption expertise in the system of Russian law. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to improve the forms of participation of citizens in the law-making activities of public authorities in order to prevent corruption. Anti–corruption expertise is one of the preventive mechanisms enshrined in the legislation of the Russian Federation to curb corruption and carried out into regulatory legal acts of state and local government bodies and their projects. An independent examination is carried out by citizens and legal entities accredited for this purpose by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, on their own initiative and at their own expense. The article analyzes regulatory legal acts (federal laws and by-laws of the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, federal ministries), which regulate the activities of independent experts authorized to conduct an examination of regulatory legal acts and draft regulatory legal acts on corruption. The study has singled out the problems that independent experts face when conducting an anti-corruption examination, identifying corruption-causing factors, preparing an opinion on the results of an independent anti-corruption examination, when interacting with public authorities in case of divergence of opinions on the presence of corruption-causing factors, and has proposed ways to solve them. First of all, the emphasis is put on the development of the conceptual apparatus, the methodology of anti-corruption expertise, which allows proficient and prompt identification of corruption-causing factors in regulations and their projects, as well as legislative control of situations are often encountered in practice and causing ambiguity.

Actualization of the German Language Status in the Absence of the State Language Category in the German Legislation
Authors: Kozhevnikova Ekaterina
Published: May 2023

This article addresses the issue of the representation of the German language status in legislative texts of the Federal Republic of Germany in the absence of the category «state language». The research methodology is based on the E. S. Kubryakova's understanding of the nominative aspect of the speech activity, who distinguishes two ways of designating objects: both through nomination and predication. The aim of this paper is to determine main functions of linguistic expressions, which regulate the role of the German language in legislation (nomination and / or predication), and language means of their representation. Research objectives: 1) to make a selection of fragments of normative legal acts on the federal level related to language legislation; 2) to select the nominations and / or predications used to actualize the leading role of the German language; 3) to study the structure of selected nominations and / or predications. The material of this paper is presented by excerpts from the Fiscal code, Authentication law, Court constitution law, Law on the protection of brands and other marks, Law on alternative dispute resolution in consumer matters, Law on the residence, employment and integration of foreigners in Germany, Law on the supervision of insurance companies, Trading law, Disability equality act, Commercial Code. In the theoretical part of the work, definitions of the categories «state language», «official language», «nomination» and «predication» are presented. The practical part of the paper addresses the analysis of excerpts from federal legislation. In conclusion, the results of the issue are presented: the leading role of the German language in the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany is updated through nominations and predications; nominations are represented both by separate compound words and by sequences of words syntactically related to each other; predications are represented by semantic verbs in the form Präsens Indikativ (in conditional clauses) as well as several types of modal constructions.

The purpose of the study is to identify domestic traditions of justice, judicial institutions, the judge figure as features of a holistic worldview of a person, typical of  national and legal culture and, therefore, necessary. Based on the analysis, the author concludes that there is a problem of little-studied and insufficient presentation of the true-to-life figure  of judge in modern Russian literature; attention is drawn to the phenomenon under study.
Speech Сulture in the Professional Activities of a Lawyer: Methodological Techniques for Teaching Legal Writing
Authors: Doronina Svetlana
Published: May 2023

The article describes the experience of teaching the course "Fundamentals of Legal Writing" to students of the training program "Jurisprudence". The teaching is based on the analysis of grammatical errors made by compilers of texts of jurisdictional genres. The undertaken functional approach to learning made it possible to establish that, depending on the type of speech generated (narration, reasoning, description), writers experience various difficulties. Thus, the learning tasks of the course are divided into three groups. The first is aimed at mastering the rules for constructing grammatical models inherent to official business speech (nominal, semi-predicative and passive constructions). The second is aimed at mastering effective ways of narrating about the circumstances of the offense. The skills being formed are focused on compiling interrogation protocols. The third group of exercises is aimed at mastering models of reasoning about the causal relationship of facts and the relationship between the event of an offense and legal norms. This skill is necessary when issuing decisions, sentences, judicial acts, etc. It is noted that the description as a type of speech is found in drawing up protocols of inspecting objects or documents and accounts for mainly speech errors associated with the selection of lexical means.
Indecent Form of Trade Names
Authors: Akinina Anastasiya
Published: May 2023

The article concentrates on the consideration of the term "indecent form"  referring to to linguistic expertise of trade names. There is no interpretation of the concept of "contradiction to public interests, principles of humanity and moral" in the Russian legal system, although in both international and Russian law affecting the protection of intellectual property (and trade names in particular), this concept is enshrined and  works as one of the grounds for refusal of state registration of a trademark/service mark. The article proposes to include the notion of contradiction to public interests, principles of humanity and morality into the scope of concept of "indecent form" recognized in legal linguistic practice when solving practical issues of intellectual property expertise (in particular, the linguistic part of such expertise).
Methods for Automated Comparative Analysis of Texts when Detecting Signs of Plagiarism in Expert Case Examinations of Сopyright and Related Rights Infringement
Authors: Belova Polina
Published: May 2023

Within the framework of linguistic expertise on cases of copyright and related rights infringement experts are increasingly faced with the challenge of comparing several texts and searching for full-text, partial and other (lexical, grammatical, semantic, etc.) coincidences in them, as well as determining the values of these coincidences. Comparing documents manually takes a lot of time, especially if the research materials are multi-page texts. This article suggests possible ways to automate and improve this work by using special online document comparison tools: "Copyscape", "Embedika Compare", "Draftable Online", "Compare texts", "Copyleaks Text Compare Tool". The given list of tools for comparing texts is compiled by the article author based on the experience of using them in expert practice. For each of the services, the article indicates its advantages and disadvantages, as well as describes the algorithm of operation and features of the presentation of comparison results. Some tools have simple functionality and display how many words matched, show the percentage of uniqueness of the compared texts, others have more advanced comparison analytics and, in addition to the percentage of matches and the number of identical words, determine the types of similarities of text fragments, highlighting among them identical (full-text), similar (with minimal changes) and paraphrased. Nevertheless, the obtained results of comparing text files still require their expert verification and further linguistic research with the interpretation of the established coincidences and the definition of their type, especially with regard to lexical, grammatical, semantic, syntactic coincidences.
The Procedure of Determining Degree of Similarity between Оbjects in Linguistic Examination
Authors: Krassa Sergey
Published: May 2023

The article describes the research procedures for determining the degree of similarity between the objects of linguistic examination. The procedure is based on the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods and the use of computer tools. The main objective of this study is to describe ways of obtaining the most reliable results, which can be verified. For carrying out of research three sets are allocated: initial object, object compared with initial, and object-construct, which includes the characteristics common for the compared sets. The objects may be interrogation protocols, texts checked for plagiarism, trademark names, newspaper publications and other. Qualitative procedures imply singling out characteristics describing objects, while quantitative procedures allow normalization of parameters identified in the objects. The extraction of characteristics is carried out by expertise, relying on the classifications accepted in linguistics. The analysis of texts with identical content is carried out by selecting identical fragments and estimating their volumes. The analysis of the similarity of trademarks is carried out on the basis of phonetic, graphic, semantic and associative parameters. The analysis of texts for possible authorship is carried out with the help of lexical, morphological and syntactic data. On the basis of the obtained numerical indicators, similarity coefficients are calculated. Characteristics that involve a selection of a yes/no answer are marked with 1 for a positive answer and zero for a negative one. Characteristics that have a numerical expression are compared using correlation coefficients and are recognized as identical when the value is 0.7 or higher. Numeric analytical procedures are generally based on the use of computer services. The numeric data obtained are represented by  the coefficients of Jaccard, Sørensen, Kulczynski and Ochiai.
Forensic Linguistic Expertise: Specifics of Evaluation in Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Papoyan Natalie
Published: May 2023

The paper is about the research of the forensic linguistic expertise evaluation in criminal proceedings. The interest for forensic linguistic expertise grows yearly. This is conditioned by the introduction of additions to the Russian Criminal Code represented by articles 207.3, 284.2; by the constant growth of extremist crimes; by instances of forensic examinations made by incompetent linguists, etc. In this regard, the problem of evaluation of forensic linguistic expertise is quite relevant and requires an immediate and practical solution in particular. The article discusses the peculiarities of forensic linguistic expertise evaluation from the perspective of different subjects of evaluation, the process of forming their inner conviction and options for the final decision. We believe that one of the important stages of solving this problem is to determine the formal parameters of the expert opinion evaluation. These parameters will allow the subjects of evaluation to form an inner conviction regarding the acceptance of the conclusion of linguistic expertise as evidence. In addition to the existing recommendations for forensic linguistic examination, it is necessary to thoroughly assess the competence of the expert, the object of the examination, the list of terms, literature, etc. We believe that the formal criteria of forensic linguistic examination evaluation contribute to a more objective evaluation of the forensic examination, which is especially relevant for the subjects of evaluation who meet the linguistic examination for the first time in the investigative or judicial practice.

Michel Foucault's Idea of "Biopolitics" in the Context of Contemporary Legal Theory Methodology
Authors: Volokitina Lidia
Published: May 2023

This article explores the concept of "biopolitics" developed by French philosopher Michel Foucault in the second half of the 20th century. In his scientific legacy Michel Foucault brought many new ideas that are relevant to the social sciences and humanities, including jurisprudence. According to Michel Foucault's logic, "biopolitics" is a manifestation of "power" in general and "disciplinary power" - in particular. The main goal of "biopolitics" is to ensure complete control not only over the social but also over the biological life of each individual. Due to its close correlation with social reality, "biopolitics" is in tune with the current issues of theoretical legal research. Modern legal theory is looking for new approaches to the understanding of law. But modern methodologies are difficult to imagine without the dense involvement of the cognitive subject in the cognitive process. It is impossible not to be involved in "biopolitics". This is where the necessary connection between "biopolitics" and contemporary theoretical and legal research comes into play. Through the prism of "biopolitics", the article attempts to rethink the concept of "the limits of legal regulation" in the "digital age". Thus, the article attempts to update Michel Foucault's idea of "biopolitics" from the perspective of legal theory. The article concludes that Michel Foucault's idea of "biopolitics" has considerable research potential for theoretical and legal research, since the consideration of "the limits of legal regulation" through "biopolitics" has shown their mobility as a phenomenon of legal reality. It is thus evident that Michel Foucault's philosophical ideas are markedly enriching the context of contemporary legal-theoretical research methodology.
Investigating the potential of avocado seeds for bioethanol production: A study on boiled water delignification pretreatment
Authors: Rahman Herliati , Nehemia Ayu , Astuti Hadiatun Puji
Published: May 2023

The increasing need for alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels has made bioethanol a promising option. Although numerous sources of sugar generation and agricultural wastes can be converted into ethanol, Avocado Seeds (AS) are particularly attractive as raw materials due to their abundance, high carbohydrate content, and lack of interactions with the food chain. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of AS for bioethanol production using several steps, including boiled water delignification pretreatment, catalytic hydrolysis, and fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The delignification pretreatment of AS involved soaking in 4% (w/v) sodium hydroxide liquor for 24 hours. Then the mixture was heated to 80°C and stirred slowly for 2.5 hours and after that washing with boiled water at 100 oC for 1.5 hours and screening the mixture. Subsequently, catalytic hydrolysis and fermentation were carried out using two different concentrations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as yeast, namely 10% (w/v) and 15% (w/v). Qualitative sample analysis was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the effect of delignification pretreatment, while FTIR analysis using Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 was used to test for glucose functional groups. Quantitative analysis was performed using gas chromatography 7890b mass spectrophotometry 5977A, Agilent DBVRX to determine hydrolysate fermentation. The results revealed that the highest ethanol yield was achieved through fermentation with 15% (w/v) yeast and 40% (v/v) catalyst, resulting in an ethanol yield of 83.755% of the theoretical maximum.

Published: May 2023

Saline Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal, 1775) polyculture systems in brackish water culture require natural food to sustain their brackish water fish production. Brackish water culture of Saline Nile Tilapia is developed to improve the productivity of abandoned shrimp or crab pond. At present, there are no studies examining the potential of natural food to improve the productivity of these polyculture systems in the brackish water pond located in Tritih Kulon Village, Cilacap, Central Java. To assess the availability of this food source, the diversity and abundance of plankton in the water body were evaluated through analysis. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze plankton diversity in the water body and the relationship between plankton abundance as a natural feed and saline Nile Tilapia productivity in the brackish water polyculture. Phytoplankton and zooplankton were identified according the plankton characteristic available in the references. The results showed that 21 planktons, comprising 12 phytoplankton species and 9 zooplankton groups, were identified. In spite of low plankton diversity, however, this study proved that the plankton abundance positively supported Saline Nile tilapia productivity in the polyculture system with milkfish, as indicated by low mortality (17,5 ±8,59 %; R2= 0.825-0.908), absolute high weight gain (208.2 ± 22,5 gr; R2= 0.881-0.874), and high specific growth (2,28 ± 0.77 % day-1; R2= 0.87-0.91). The productivity of Saline Nile Tilapia in brackish water polyculture with milkfish is supported by the availability of natural food, with 5.95 to 18.50% of their gut content obtained from plankton.

Mangroves are complex, unique, and dynamic ecosystems that host organisms that have special physiological adaptations to fluctuations in salinity, temperature, and pH. Gastropods have an important role in the mangrove ecosystem for food cycles and webs by helping to provide nutrients and micro-habitats for microbes.  Micro-fungi isolated from mangrove ecosystems are productive sources of enzymes and bioactive compounds such as antibacterial and antifungal. In this study a explored the enzymatic and anti-vibrio activity of fungi associated with the marine gastropod Cerithidea cingulata and Lottia scabra. collected in three mangrove forests in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.  The fungi associated with the specimens were inoculated on malt extract agar (MEA) using the tapping method. Enzymatic and anti-vibrio assays were conducted applying the plug method. Positive effects of the fungal compounds on Vibrio  were indicated by  clear zones formed around the isolates.  A total of 13 fungal species were isolated from C. cingulata (19MB-C5  and 19MBa-A4) and L. scabra (19MT-07 and 19MT-18).  Most fungal isolates have moderate growth rate. The isolate with highest cellulolytic, proteolytic, and anti-vibriosis activity (Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. harveyi, V. vulnificus, and V. alginolyticus), derived from C. cingulata 19MB-C5 was closely related to Aspergillus niger, as revealed by molecular analysis using the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4 (similarity value 99%).  A. niger 19MB-C5-3 has potential as a bioremediation and anti-vibrio agent that can be applied in aquaculture.
Why Not Just Backtest?
Authors: Samsa Greg
Published: May 2023

Backtesting involves applying an investment strategy or predictive model to historical data in order to assess its performance.  Here, we apply general statistical principles to the question of whether, when and why backtesting is likely to be successful.  Our use case is the JP Morgan Equity Income Fund (JEPI), an exchange-traded fund whose investment strategy is advertised to be supported by artificial intelligence, including backtesting. One problem with backtesting stock returns is that suitable external datasets to use in assessing model performance are difficult to identify.  Another problem is that the modeling process can lack a clear separation between the training and test samples.  Neither of these sources of bias are fixed by using big data analytics.  An implication of these difficulties is that the performance of AI-derived predictive models is likely to be overestimated, even in the presence of backtesting.  Moreover, backtesting will not fully assess how well a predictive model generalizes to other circumstances.  The results of backtesting should not be taken at face value.  Modelers are encouraged to explicitly describe what is being assumed for an investment strategy to continue to perform.

Authors: Makki Fadi , Haidar Aya , Sedas Paola Schietekat , Saleh Nabil
Published: May 2023

Background: The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine represented more than logistical challenges. Lebanon, despite benefitting from the COVAX initiative that made vaccines more accessible to everyone residing in the country, faced considerable challenges encouraging the Syrian refugee population to register for a vaccine. The reasons behind refugees’ reluctance to get vaccinated were mainly behavioral in nature: fear of side effects, doubts about the vaccine’s effectiveness, and even the belief that the vaccine was unnecessary. Methods: An RCT was conducted in order to test the impact of dissonance induction on the level of willingness of Syrian refugee survey respondents who had not been vaccinated (n=1,569). The survey also collected data on refugees’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the vaccine. Results: Results revealed that dissonance induction significantly reduced vaccine hesitancy, with more pronounced effects detected among women, middle aged adults. Conclusion: These findings have important implications on rethinking the behavioral aspect of the delivery of public health services to the refugee population in Lebanon and vulnerable populations elsewhere.

Interaction of nucleoporins with nuclear transport receptors: a structural perspective
Authors: Kehlenbach Ralph H. , Neumann Piotr , Ficner Ralf , Dickmanns Achim
Published: May 2023

Soluble nuclear transport receptors and stationary nucleoporins are at the heart of the nucleocytoplasmic transport machinery. A subset of nucleoporins contains characteristic and repetitive FG (phenylalanine-glycine) motifs, which are the basis for the permeability barrier of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) that controls transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. FG-motifs can interact with each other and/or with transport receptors, mediating their translocation across the NPC. The molecular details of homotypic and heterotypic FG-interactions have been analyzed at the structural level. In this review, we focus on the interactions of nucleoporins with nuclear transport receptors. Besides the conventional FG-motifs as interaction spots, a thorough structural analysis led us to identify additional similar motifs at the binding interface between nucleoporins and transport receptors. A detailed analysis of all known human nucleoporins revealed a large number of such phenylalanine-containing motifs that are not buried in the predicted 3D-structure of the respective protein but constitute part of the solvent-accessible surface area. Only nucleoporins that are rich in conventional FG-repeats are also enriched for these motifs. This additional layer of potential low-affinity binding sites on nucleoporins for transport receptors may have a strong impact on the interaction of transport complexes with the nuclear pore and, thus, the efficiency of nucleocytoplasmic transport.

Published: May 2023

As the next generation of the nation, it is proper for the state to provide guarantees for child protection. One of the ways to do this is by creating Child-friendly Cities/Regencies that will become one of the elements of successful legal protection in Indonesia. Based on the Minister of Women's and Children's Empowerment Regulation No. 11 of 2011 concerning Child-friendly City/District Policies, that Child -friendly Districts/Cities (KLA) are districts/cities that have a child rights-based development system through the integration of government, community, and business commitments and resources that are planned comprehensively and sustainably in policies, programs, and activities to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights. Developing the KLA basically based on the fulfillment of children's rights, covering civil rights and freedoms, family environment and alternative care, basic health and welfare, education, use of leisure time, and cultural activities, and special protection. In order to fulfill the KLA, village participation is needed to make it happen. Child-friendly village/kelurahan is an indicator of realizing a child-friendly city. To realize a child-friendly village, one of the things that must be fulfilled is the guarantee of the fulfillment of children's rights in all aspects of life. One of the goals of a child-friendly village is to keep children from a vulnerable position as perpetrators or victims of criminal acts. Dadaprejo Village is an important area to become a child-friendly village, with the problem of rampant deviations by children who fall into child delinquency, it is necessary to help Dadaprejo Village to overcome the problems experienced by DadapRejo Village. By conducting counseling, consultation, and assistance in the fields of law, and psychology, it will be able to find ways to overcome the problems experienced by Dadaprejo Village. The purpose of this service is to create a dadaprejo village that can prevent children from becoming victims of criminal acts (abuse of drugs, and alcohol) and perpetrators of criminal acts.

Land waqf as a legal institution known in Islamic law has gained a strong position in Indonesian national law based on Law Number 41 of 2014 concerning Waqf. The understanding and practice of land waqf, which has been partly carried out verbally on the basis of mutual trust, has not provided optimal legal certainty and legal protection. In the community, legal literacy is increased in the context of land waqf. Land waqf legal actions that have been carried out based on Islamic law must also be carried out with due regard to national law. The legal act of waqf land must be carried out before the authorized official and registered with the Land Office. The waqf pledge must be made before the registrar of the waqf pledge to be further recorded in the waqf pledge deed. The Waqf Pledge Deed is written evidence in the land registration at the Land Office, as the basis for the issuance of the Waqf Land Certificate. Land Waqf Certificates are issued in order to realize legal certainty and legal protection of land waqf. The regulation of land waqf in the Waqf Law and its implementing regulations further confirms waqf as an important and useful institution for efforts to realize community welfare, in line with the goals of state life.

Brand is the name of a product that is commonly made by business actors to introduce their products to consumers. But in fact, the understanding of small micro business actors that brands are intellectual property protected by the state is very minimal. Even a brand that has been owned can be used by other people without permission which will be detrimental to the brand owner is also not well understood. MSME actors still think that brands are complementary accessories to products. Thus there is a need for assistance for MSME actors in registering trademarks as legal protection for their businesses, which from a marketing management perspective, brands are a way of targeting business opportunities. Moreover, Karanganyar Regency, especially the Matesih sub-district, is one of the tourist areas visited by many tourists. This will help MSMEs introduce their products more broadly through brands. MSME products will be the souvenirs of tourists who will indirectly be promoted by the consumers themselves only by using brands that have been protected by the State

The characters of a Javanese husband and wife in films are often presented with gender stereotypes, such as Angayani (Providing for Family) for husbands and Manak (Giving and Caring for Children) for wives. This article aims to show the gender stereotypes of a husband and a wife in a modern Javanese nuclear family in film Mudik (2020) by Adriyanto Dewo. Gender stereotypes are established values that have been socialized through the concepts of Dadi Wong (Being a successful person) and Durung Tutug, Jowo, or Rampung (Being an unsuccessful person) in Javanese society. Those who successfully meet these values will be included in Dadi Wong category, but if they are not able to, they will be classified in Durung Tutug, Jowo, or Rampung category. This study uses narratology as an analytical method which is elaborated with the theory of gender performativity and power relations. The results of this study indicate that the representation of the husband in this film is considered unable to fulfill Dadi Wong conception due to the absence of children and financial instability. Meanwhile, the representation of the wife is unable to reach the qualifications of Dadi Wong due to her infertility condition and role in the public sphere.
