MUTUAL COOPERATION OF OPERATIVES AND DETECTIVES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ORGANIZED CRIME
Authors:   College of Kashkadarya Region, Shonazarov Abduvali
Published: June 2023

This article highlights important aspects of investigative actions in the investigation of crimes committed by organized groups. The interaction of the investigator with the bodies and employees carrying out operational-search activities, and the procedure for performing procedural actions, such as the implementation of a preliminary investigation, are expressed. Such a criminological feature is explained not only by provability in the investigation of crimes but also by information about the characteristics of the necessary signs of criminal activity and the elements used to prove a crime. It is argued that investigators and operatives will identify the forensic nature of the organized criminal activity and compare it with typical forensic data specific to the respective specific type. Also expressed is the use of forensic methods and tools that help to timely and effectively solve the problems of operational search, investigation and examination at the initial stage of investigating the activities of a criminal group. The forensic features of the investigative and operational personnel are singled out when determining investigative situations during the interrogation of an organized criminal group. The investigative tactics of investigators play an important role in the correct determination of the method and mechanism of committing a crime by an organized group in the disclosure of committed crimes.

CURRENT PROBLEMS OF GIVING NOTARIES MEDIATORY POWERS
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Karimova Madina
Published: June 2023

The implementation of mediator functions by notaries at the moment is a very urgent task that not all notaries in the country perform. However, the demand for this function is only growing, as is the social value, only this area of activity is not actively developing yet, because not all notaries are willing to take on additional functions, given the non-entrepreneurial nature of mediation activities, which is also due to the workload of notaries. This scientific article discusses the features and problems of granting mediation powers to notaries. The purpose of the scientific article is to reveal the legal nature of the performance of mediation functions by notaries, some of the problems associated with this activity and to determine the prospects for their solution. The relevance of the chosen topic in the scientific article is obvious – the possibility of mediation functions by notaries is provided by law, but in practice these cases have not become common, which indicates the need to investigate the factors and problems that hinder the effective implementation of modern modernized legislation in the field of notaries. The methodology consists of research methods, in particular, such methods as dialectical, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, modeling, forecasting were used in the scientific article. The results of the research in the scientific article are aimed at improving law enforcement practice. The general conclusion based on the results of the research in this scientific article is that mediation activities by notaries should be developed and notaries should be encouraged to provide these services in good faith, according to the established tariffs, in order to avoid the risks of entrepreneurial crafts. In order to expand the mediation activities carried out by notaries, it seems necessary to implement a number of measures aimed at familiarizing society with the value of mediation in the pre-trial settlement of disputes.

Published: June 2023

This article aims to analyze the cultural representation of Banyuwangi in the Banyuwangi Ethno Carnival (BEC) using Stuart Hall's representation theory approach. The main concepts applied in this analysis are change and resistance, which are used to understand how cultural symbols are represented and interpreted in BEC. The data collection process was carried out through a literature study. Where the data obtained comes from the results of research and other people's scientific works that are studied and then developed. Data analysis was carried out by combining Stuart Hall's representation theory concepts with the findings found in the BEC program. The results of the analysis of the literature study show that BEC is an important vehicle for representing Banyuwangi's cultural identity through modifications of costumes, dances, music, and other performances. In addition, the media plays an important role in the spread and influence of these cultural representations. In the context of Stuart Hall's representation theory, change refers to the transformation of cultural symbols in BEC, while resistance describes the process of building cultural representations through interactions and agreements between BEC actors, government and society. Through this process, Banyuwangi's cultural identity is represented and interpreted in the BEC event. The implication of the results of this research is the need for continuous support in developing and promoting Banyuwangi culture through collaborative efforts between the government, cultural actors and the community. In this case, BEC can be an effective tool to strengthen and broaden understanding and appreciation of Banyuwangi's cultural identity

Published: June 2023

Abstract. Drought is one of the most severe natural disasters. It negatively influences the crop output considerably as water resources are inadequate across large geographic areas. Food insecurity, hunger, and poverty are widespread in three Pakistani provinces: Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh. Until March/April 2022, roughly 4.66 million people, or 25% of the population examined, were severely food insecure. Historically, the severity of a drought is evaluated using several different indicators, with the selection of indices depending on the data that is easily accessible. By multiple aspects, including potential evapotranspiration and rainfall data on a standard timescale and computing monthly, seasonal, or annual data, the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) has a significant advantage over the other indices in determining drought severity. When rainfall in a region is significantly lower than the amount of potential evapotranspiration, drought situations can occur on the earth. Rainfall will often occur in locations with an increase in the relative humidity of the air. The reconnaissance drought index (RDI) for Khyber Pakhtaunkhawa province in Pakistan was calculated from 1981 to 2020 for 3-, 6-, and 12-month timeframes. This research employed rainfall, minimum and maximum temperature data from KPK province to describe drought using the DrinC program, the Man Kendall test, and Sen's slope calculator to determine drought patterns and variation. All regions had moderate, severe, and extreme droughts, with RDIs between -1.0 and -3.5. RDI 3-, 6-, and 12-month evaluations highlighted 1991, 1994, 2000, 2010, 2015, and 2017. These results indicate that productivity declines in dry and subsequent years due to seasonal rainfall and soil moisture retention.Wheat production averaged 1.7 tones ha-1 year-1, with significant variations. Between October and December, it is an essential to have favorable growing conditions to increase productivity. If droughts occur in this era, the yield will be substantially more negatively impacted than if they occur later in the growing cycle. The 3-month RDI values offer a more accurate description of this variation than the six-month and twelve-months RDI Values. Geospatial drought analysis indicates a considerable variance in drought patterns across the Kpk province over the last 4 decades. Because long-term droughts sometimes affect water quality, especially groundwater, a rise in the intensity of long-term droughts could pose a risk to the water management in the regions that have been examined. Analysis of the Landsat TM 30 m data took place. At the same time, Landsat imageries were utilized to generate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) for drought evaluation. The findings of the NDWI indicate an increase in value from 0.58 to 0.7 for the KPK region.

Published: June 2023

The objective of this research is to assess the quality of underground water in Kabul city in terms of health and compliance with WHO and other relevant standards. To evaluate underground water quality in Kabul city, 25 water samples are collected from various locations. Advanced instruments such as the HQ440d Multi-Meter, Turbidity Meter, Conductivity Meter, and Wag-WE10500, along with reagents like Alkali Solution and Calcium and Magnesium indicator Solution, are used to measure different chemical and physical parameters of the water. Various tests are conducted in the field and laboratory. Chemical parameters including bicarbonate, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, fluorine, potassium, chlorine, chloride, arsenic, and nitrate are evaluated. Some parameters, such as fluoride, iron, arsenic, sodium, potassium, and chlorine, are within permissible limits for underground water in Kabul. However, findings confirm previous concerns about deteriorating water quality, including increased water hardness and nitrite levels. Parameters such as chloride, nitrite, total hardness, sulfite, and magnesium exceed permissible limits in most areas, including Kabul. Additionally, physical parameters like turbidity, conductivity, TDS, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, acidity, color, taste, smell, and temperature are assessed. All chemical and physical parameters are compared against WHO, S.EPA, ANSA, E.U, IL standards, and the results are presented in a chart for clarity. Comparisons with established standards are analyzed and discussed.

El famoso neurobiólogo Marcus Jacobson expresó: “La ciencia puede descubrir lo que es cierto, pero no lo que es bueno, justo y humano”, y esta perspectiva humanista de la ciencia – o anti humanista - ha recobrado gran importancia en los últimos lustros. Los gobiernos y las grandes corporaciones privadas han comprendido que un porcentaje importante de la población, en especial entre 20 y 40 años, ya no se deslumbran por la riqueza monetaria si no que tienen una visión de la vida mucho más social, más preocupada por el medio ambiente, por la inequidad en la distribución de la riqueza y por una sociedad que intenta ser más incluyente.
On the Educational Theory and Application of Mobile-assisted Language Learning and Independent Learning in College English Teaching
Authors: Yan Yuqin , Singh Manjet Kaur Mehar
Published: June 2023

Globally, educational psychology and theory have advanced the knowledge of various ways college students learn and retain information. Low academic performance in college education is directly attributed to learning disabilities. Using the underlying mechanism of mobile-assisted language learning, the present study explored how self-monitoring impacted self-management, as well as beliefs about language learning skills. The present study hypothesized that college students' beliefs about the problems associated with mobile phones to learn a language serve as a moderator in the relationship between self-management and beliefs about how their language skills are improving. Furthermore, this study investigated the role of self-management as a mediator in the relationship between self-monitoring and beliefs about mobile-assisted language skills. The data was gathered from 329 college students in the Chinese city of Shanghai. The PLS-based SEM results highlighted a direct relationship between self-monitoring and self-management, during mobile-assisted language learning in college English teaching. The findings also confirmed the underlying role of college students' beliefs on the issues associated with using mobile phones to learn a second language. Importantly, the findings highlighted the implications of the widely expanding mobile-assisted language learning in the education industry.

Published: June 2023

Different receptors have evolved in organisms to sense different stimuli in their surroundings. The interaction among the receptors can significantly increase sensory sensitivity and adaptation precision. To study the influence of interaction among different types of chemoreceptors on the adaptation rate in the bacterial chemotaxis signaling network, we systematically compared the adaptation time between the wild-type strain expressing mixed types of receptors and the mutant strain expressing only Tar receptors (namely, the Tar-only strain) under stepwise addition of different concentrations of L-aspartate using FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) and bead assays. We find that the wild type exhibits faster adaptation than the mutant under the same concentration of saturated stimulus. In contrast, the wild type exhibits slower adaptation than the mutant under unsaturated stimuli that induce the same magnitude of response, and this is independent of the level of receptor expression. The same result is obtained for the network relaxation time by monitoring the steady-state rotational signal of the flagellar motors. By simulating bacterial chemotaxis with different adaptation rates in a stable gradient of chemoattractants, we confirm that the interaction of different types of receptors can effectively promote chemotaxis of Escherichia coli under a stable spatial gradient of attractants while ensuring minimum noise in the cell position distribution.
A retrospective analysis of nonresponse to denosumab after hip fractures
Authors: KIM S.-J. , LEE D.-W.
Published: June 2023

Denosumab is an effective antiresorptive drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, some patients do not respond well to denosumab treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors underlying treatment nonresponses to denosumab in elderly patients following hip fracture. This retrospective study included 130 patients treated with denosumab after osteoporotic hip fracture between March 2017 and March 2020. The patients were categorized as denosumab nonresponders if they had a T-score <−3 that persisted between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans, a >3% decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), or an incident fracture on denosumab therapy. We examined the baseline characteristics associated with blunted BMD responses and compared the groups following denosumab treatment for 12 months. Of 130 patients with baseline data, 105 patients (80.8%) were considered responders. No difference in baseline vitamin D, calcium, BMI, age, gender, prior fracture history, or bisphosphonate use was observed between responders and nonresponders. A longer interval between denosumab injections was associated with suboptimal BMD response at both spine and total hip (p<0.001 and p=0.04, respectively). The overall L-BMD and H-BMD were significantly increased compared with pretreatment levels after denosumab treatment (5.7% and 2.5%, respectively). This study revealed that nonresponse was not strongly associated with certain baseline variables and it appears that the reponders and nonresponders were reasonably comparable in this study population. The results of our study highlight the importance of timely denosumab administration when using this drug for osteoporosis management. Physicians should keep these results in mind in clinical practice so that they can improve utilization of 6-month denosumab.

This study set out to investigate the effects of disaster cognition and disaster risk cognition on the disaster management competence of social workers working in social welfare centers and examine their disaster management competence in details by focusing on the mediation effects of disaster preparedness. The purpose of this study is to establish a disaster safety culture at the organizational level of social welfare centers and to seek ways to strengthen disaster management competence at the level of individual social workers. To this end, a survey was conducted with social workers in social welfare centers(community welfare centers, community rehabilitation centers, and senior welfare centers located in Busan. Total 980 questionnaires were distributed, and 896 ones were returned, and the data of 892 research subjects was used for the descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation model(measurement model and structural model) analysis, and mediation effects analysis using bootstrapping. The analysis results are as follows. First, it was found that the disaster cognition and disaster risk cognition directly affected the disaster management competence. Secondly, as for the relationship between disaster cognition and disaster management competence, and between their disaster risk cognition and disaster management competence, the mediating effects of disaster preparedness was found statistically significant. In particular, as a result of effect decomposition, it was found that the indirect effect of disaster preparedness had most significant impacts on the disaster management competence, being followed by the direct effect of disaster risk cognition in the order, which suggests that the social welfare academy should increase their interest in disaster preparedness. Based on the above results, it is necessary to seek ways to realize a safety-first organizational culture by raising the value and awareness of disaster safety at the organizational level of social welfare centers. And at the level of individual social workers, it will be necessary to actively participate in various disaster safety education and training. In addition, it will be important to foster expertise and responsibility in disaster safety for the rapid recovery of local communities. Finally, it was suggested that it is important to seek ways to increase disaster preparedness at the organizational level of social welfare centers and individual social workers.

Nominated safety inspectors tend to rely on Leader - Member relationship to the work site because they can handle safety management task to inspect and order guidelines to compensate the defect with their superior. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed at implication deduction for safety and improvement in the construction site, to analyse the exchange relationship between safety inspectors and site safety manager(LMX), which affects the safety behaviour as a mediate in the safety climate. This study was analysed exploratory factor analysis and Chronbach’s Alpha value to secure validity of scale and reliability using SPSS 26ver, PROCESS macro for SPSS program, performed analysis of frequency, description analysis and correlation analysis to verify and conducted mediated effect to verify research model through PROCESS macro 4 model. The similarity of mediated effect was confirmed by Bootstrapping-test, if zero is not included between lower bounds and upper bounds, the result value would be significant by applying the criterion, and the mediated effect evaluated the significance. As the result proved the significance that the higher level of LMX between safety inspectors and site safety managers make the safety climate, the more safety behaviour improve, it was also confirmed the mediated effect to be significant. Based on the result, this study suggests that the necessity of safety supervision system to enlarge communication and cooperation between safety inspectors and site safety managers, to enhance safety climate on the site which can upgrade two-way communications for practice on safety. This study places significance when it comes to the implication that introducing LMX concept between safety inspectors and site safety manager to increase safety climate and safety behaviour. Moreover, it analyses the intrinsic cause to interrupt collaboration through having depth interview to safety inspectors and site safety managers, discusses the necessary for the following research that analyses objective data which rely not on self report criterion, but on real accident rate.

This study aimed to investigate the anxieties and difficulties caused by COVID-19, perceived stress on depression of the community residents in the With-COVID era. The participants comprised 198 community residents in G City. Data were collected from August 7 to September 8, 2022. Data analyses were conducted using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regressions analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0. The mean score of the was anxieties and difficulties caused by COVID-19 45.03±14.740, perceived stress 20.31±4.89 and depression 15.35±9.17. The anxieties and difficulties caused by COVID-19 according to the general characteristics of the subjects were gender(t=5.23, p=.02), age(F=2.52, p=.04), and health status(F=8.74, p<.001). It was found that there was a statistically significant difference. Perceived stress showed a significant difference in age(F=2.84, p=.03). And depression showed a statistically significant difference in health status(F=7.43, p<.001). Depression had a statistically significant negative correlation with state of health(r=-.269, p<.001) and a positive correlation with anxieties and difficulties caused by COVID-19(r=.428, p=.041) and perceived stress(r=.275, p<.001). As a result of multiple regression analysis, the factors influencing the depression of residents in the G-city community were state of health(β=-.214, p=.025), anxieties and difficulties caused by COVID-19(β=.340, p<.001) and perceived stress(β=.142, p<.001). And the regression analysis indicated an explanatory power of 20.9%(F=13.607, p<.001). Therefore, it is required to develop various programs suitable for community residents who can alleviate these negative mental health problems such as stress and depression, and prevent and manage infectious diseases. In addition, it is necessary above all else to develop and apply programs that can be of practical help by considering the age group, education level, and job type of community residents.
A Study on Organizational Response to Experience of Safety Threats by Educational Welfare Specialists in Schools: Focusing on Community Education Specialists in Seoul

Published: June 2023

This study is aimed to establish a safe working environment for educational welfare specialists who play a crucial role in building a secure educational welfare safety network through the connection of homes, schools, and the local community. Within each school, there is one educational welfare specialist assigned, reflecting the unique nature of the school as a secondary field rather than a social welfare site. Therefore, it is necessary to consider different characteristics in terms of employment status and deployment personnel compared to school administrators or teachers. To overcome conflicts and marginalization that may arise from such structural differences, this study comprehensively explored the safety threats experienced by educational welfare specialists within schools and examined the post-incident response processes within the organization. Based on this, structural causes of the safety threats during incidents were identified, and organizational coping strategies were developed to address them. For the purpose of this study, in-depth interviews were carried out with eight educational welfare specialists (community educational specialists) with more than five years of experience working in schools located in Seoul, South Korea, who have experienced safety threats. Qualitative case research methodology was utilized to achieve a profound understanding of their experiences. The interview data were analyzed through within-case analysis and cross-case analysis methods. According to the within-case analysis, the educational welfare specialists experienced various safety threats from students, parents, as well as the school‘s management system and relevant personnel. However, they had experience with proactive organizational-level post-incident measures. Through the cross-case analysis, 17 sub-categories and 4 categories were identified. The 4 categories include “Experiencing various safety threats within the educational welfare system,” “Challenging reality where organizational coping mechanism for safety cannot be expected,” “Facing obstacles despite personal efforts to find solutions,” and “Reality of persistently striving since giving up is not an option.” Based on the findings, practical and political alternatives at the organizational level were suggested for future development of safety measures for educational welfare specialists within schools.
