The Demand for Applying a Measure of Restraint in Respect of an Accused as a Reason for Rash and Unsubstantiated Charges
Authors:   Chief Research Scientist of the Department of Criminal Law, Rossinsky Sergey B.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to a critical analysis of one of the conditions for the legality of the use of preventive measures in criminal proceedings, which presupposes the priority of their selection in relation to the accused. Attention is drawn to the inconsistency of this condition with the grounds for pre-trial criminal prosecution, which leads to the vicious practice of bringing forward premature and not properly substantiated charges. As a result, this condition is assessed as a normative anachronism subject to abolition. At the same time, it is proposed to choose a preventive measure on a general basis in relation to the suspect.

On the Specifics of the Criterial Approach to Understanding Immovable Property in Civil Law
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Volgograd Institute for the Humanities, PhD (Law), Associate Professor, Charkin Sergey A.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the criterial approach to the understanding of immovable property in civil law. It is noted that at normative fixation of those or other concepts necessary for legal regulation, the criterial method is widely used, which consists in formulating a set of mandatory features or requirements, only the simultaneous presence of which indicates the presence of the relevant phenomenon. When constructing the concept and legal regime of immovable property in the civil legislation, a special complicated legal technique is used. Behind the seemingly criterial way of its construction there is something else, namely a mixed approach, which includes three different elements: firstly, an indication of the general criteria of immovable property — a strong connection with the land, impossibility to move it without damage; secondly, an official list of separate immovable things, some of which fit into these criteria, while others do not meet them; thirdly, a blanket way of regulation — mentioning other things that can be referred by law to immovable property. In other words, the criterion approach in the legislative fixation of the concept of immovable property has not the main, but rather an auxiliary meaning and covers not the entire scope of this concept, but only some, albeit the largest part of it, which generally contradicts the function of criteria from the point of view of logic.

Administrative and Procedural Legal Relationships: Essence and Characteristics
Authors: Spiridonov P. E.
Published: June 2024

The article highlights that the distinctive features of administrative and procedural legal relationships encompass not only their underlying causes but also their substance and participants. Considering the content of administrative procedural legal relations, attention should be paid to the nature and essence of the administrative process as a law enforcement activity. One of the unique aspects of administrative procedural legal relationships, as a form of law enforcement in the public domain, is that one of the parties involved will always be an individual vested with not just procedural powers, but also authority over other participants in the administrative process. Consequently, such relationships assume a public and authoritative character, where the dominant participant in administrative and procedural legal relations advocates not merely their personal rights and obligations, but rather the interests of the state and society. It is also noted that the basis of administrative procedural activity as a type of legal activity is the commission of administrative procedural actions, and not procedures, as many procedural scientists assume. In this context, it is worth noting that the foundation of any law enforcement endeavor lies in the execution of legally significant actions, leading to the emergence of legal consequences. At the same time, the procedure cannot be used as the basis of a legal process, since it itself consists of actions. Therefore, dividing the procedure into material and procedural is a mistake. The paper proposes that categorizing proceedings for the preparation, adoption, and publication of normative legal acts as part of the administrative process is contentious. This is because this type of procedure significantly diverges from other administrative proceedings in terms of objectives, stages, and the types of decisions made within its framework. However, it has a procedural nature, but together with the legislative process, it should most likely be combined in the rule-making process rather than be included in the administrative process. The methodological basis of the article is dialectical, formal-logical methods, formallegal method and method of interpretation of law.
Problems of Proving Technical Malfunctions During Electronic Auctions
Authors: Korolev E. V.
Published: June 2024

This research focuses on the current legislative provisions of the Russian Federation governing the organization and execution of electronic auctions. It also examines law enforcement case studies that highlight challenges in proving technical malfunctions during such proceedings. The aim of this scientific research is to pinpoint the challenges in demonstrating technical malfunctions during electronic bidding for the disposal of state and municipal property rights, alongside identifying potential solutions to address these issues. This research employed various methods of scientific inquiry, including general theoretical approaches such as synthesis, analysis, generalization, deduction, etc., as well as general scientific methods such as system-structural analysis and specific scientific methods such as comparative legal and formal legal analysis. Consequently, employing these methodologies, the research delves into the intricacies of electronic trading, examines the responsibilities of electronic platform operators, and scrutinizes the challenges associated with proving a technical failure during electronic bidding. It was found that the key distinguishing feature of electronic trading is the presence of an additional participant – the operator of the electronic platform – and the presence of the electronic platform itself as a venue for electronic bidding. Responsibility for various technical failures on the electronic platform lies with the platform operator. Conclusions drawn from the scientific research indicate that the primary evidence of a technical failure during electronic trading comprises screenshots and video recordings, both of which must adhere to specific criteria. Specifically, these records must distinctly demonstrate the occurrence of a technical failure, directly attributed to the electronic platform hosting the electronic auctions, such as a software glitch or technical error visibly captured on the screen. They should also showcase the functionality of the plaintiff's own software and hardware, including a stable Internet connection. Typically, the applicant/plaintiff must provide evidence that an Internet connection with the electronic platform cannot be established while other Internet pages are functional simultaneously. Moreover, these records should possess adequate quality, enabling the determination of the date and time when the respective screenshots were captured or the corresponding videos were recorded.

Authors: Gürster Julia
Published: June 2024

Das Fach Kommunikationswissenschaft ist an zahlreichen Universitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum als Teil eines heterogenen Pools an Studienmöglichkeiten des Medien- und Kommunikationsbereichs vertreten. Deren teils stark variierende Ausrichtung erschwert schon länger eine Aussage darüber, inwiefern Studierende an welchen Instituten für welche Berufsbilder qualifiziert werden. Obwohl an einigen Hochschulstandorten Alumni des Fachs untersucht wurden, liegen die wegweisenden Forschungsbeiträge deutschsprachiger Institute innerhalb des Forschungsfelds mindestens 15 Jahre zurück. In dieser Masterarbeit erfolgte deshalb erstmals eine wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der Bacheloralumni der Kommunikationswissenschaft der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg. Im Zentrum standen Studienmotive und -verlauf, Inhaltsvermittlung und die Vorbereitung auf den weiteren Bildungs- bzw. Berufsweg durch das Bachelorstudium. Dabei stellten qualitativ-explorative Leitfadeninterviews einen ersten Forschungsschritt dar, auf die folgend eine standardisierte Onlinebefragung der Alumni der Abschlussjahrgänge 2012 bis einschließlich 2022 durchgeführt wurde. Die Studie dient als Auswahl zu untersuchender Studienfaktoren, die ein erstes ganzheitliches Bild des Bachelorstudiengangs zeichnet – und deren Ergebnisse der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Alumniforschung (in Bamberg) den Sprung vom Quer- zum Längsschnitt ermöglichen können.

Adolescent girls can avoid anemia by maintaining stable hemoglobin levels and consuming foods rich in nutrients and high in iron. Food sources with high iron content that can increase hemoglobin levels include Tempeh and Moringa. Tempeh and Moringa are notable sources of iron. Tempeh provides nutrients such as Fe, vitamin B12, and folic acid, while Moringa leaves contain 28.66 g of protein, 929.29 mg of calcium, 715.22 mg of phosphorus, 9.99 g of iron, and 2.32 mg of zinc per 100 g. This study investigated the effect of Moringa tempeh burgers on hemoglobin levels in anemic teenage girls. Using a quasi-experimental design, 51 anemic girls aged 13-15 were divided into three groups: a control group (K) given tempeh burgers without Moringa, treatment group 1 (P1) given tempeh burgers with 3g of Moringa leaf flour, and treatment group 2 (P2) given tempeh burgers with 12g of Moringa leaf flour. Each group included 17 participants who consumed the assigned burgers for 30 days. Results showed the average hemoglobin level changes before and after the intervention were 0.46 g/dl in K, 0.70 g/dl in P1, and 2.23 g/dl in P2. Statistical tests confirmed significant differences in hemoglobin levels pre- and post-treatment across all groups. The study concluded that Moringa tempeh burgers, particularly those with the highest amount of Moringa leaf flour, were most effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in anemic adolescent girls.

One of the global health issues is diabetes mellitus, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. The absorption of glucose in the body occurs through the digestion of carbohydrates by the enzyme α-glucosidase, which is responsible for hydrolyzing carbohydrates into sugar. Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei) is a  herbal plant from Japan and has long been utilized in traditional medicine for its various health benefits and preventive properties against multiple diseases. This plant has also been cultivated in Indonesia, including Trawas Mojokerto, East Java. This study aims to develop ashitaba crackers and evaluate their potential α-glucosidase inhibitory activity to develop safe and effective natural products to assist in managing diabetes more efficiently. This research was conducted from July to September 2022. Two formulations of fresh ashitaba leaves were used (12% CAST 1 and 18% CAST 2 of 100 g of flour). Based on the results of this research, chemical composition tests showed that the carbohydrate and dietary fiber content in CAST 1 were higher than those in CAST 2. Protein, lipid, water, and ash content in CAST 2 had higher values than in CAST 1. Flavonoid content and inhibitory activity test results of ashitaba crackers showed significant differences between the two formulation groups regarding flavonoid content and percentage inhibition against the α-glucosidase enzyme. Both flavonoid content and inhibitory activity in CAST 2 were higher than in CAST 1. Ashitaba crackers with the best formulation in this study, based on flavonoid levels and their ability to inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme, were identified as CAST 2.

Background. Peculiarities of the interaction of microorganisms with the surface are important from the point of view of the functionality of this surface (implants, chips, electrodes with biofilm for producing electric current). The orderliness of organic particles and cells on different surfaces can be assessed by determining the fractal dimension and lacunarity and indicate the structural state or efficiency of the system.
Objective. Investigation how different solvents and the application of a magnetic field affect the texture of suspensions containing microorganisms when dried on various types of silicon surfaces and quantitatively assess the dimensions of the structures formed using fractal analysis.
Methodology. After mixing, the cell suspension was applied to the polished, degreased surface of silicon wafers arranged horizontally and left to dry completely. In a static magnetic field (MF) with an induction of 0.17 T, the induction lines were perpendicular to the surface of the sample. Micrographs of dried cells were pro­cessed in software package ImageJ and fractal analysis was performed using the FracLac software application and "Box counting" technique.
Results. Significant differences in the self-organization of various types of microorganism cells during drying on silicon surfaces under the influence of a MF and in different solvents have been found. The tendency for various types of microorganisms was the formation of pseudofractal shapes and an increase in the average fractal dimension D under the action of a MF. As D increased, lacunarity L decreased. However, in the case of yeast suspended in a physiological solution, pseudofractal shapes were observed even in the absence of a MF.
Conclusions. Using fractal analysis of pseudofractal figures consisting of cells of microorganisms on the surface of a silicon plate under the influence of MF, it is possible to evaluate the functionality of cells interacting with the surface, as well as the quality of this surface.

Background. Viral infectious diseases remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The lack of effective antiviral drugs for the treatment of viral gastroenteritis emphasizes the relevance of various forms of combination therapy, including a balanced diet and the use of probiotics.
Objective. To verify in vitro the hypothesis about the effect of metabolites from probiotic strains of lactobacilli on the systemic response of the body in intestinal viral infection.
Methods. The objects of study were filtrates of culture fluids from probiotic lactobacillus strains L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis LE and L. rhamnosus LB3. HEp-2 and Namalwa cell cultures and vesicular stomatitis test virus were used as biological test objects. The study employed spectrophotometric and cytofluorometric analysis.
Results. The absence of a direct anti-inflammatory effect in the samples of lactobacillus culture fluid filtrates was revealed. It was found that the culture fluid filtrate of the lactobacillus strain L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis LE exhibited the most pronounced properties of an interferon coinducer. The proliferative index (PI) of HEp-2 cells was analyzed under different effects. Cells incubated with lactobacillus culture fluid filtrate (LE) showed an increase in PI for young cells, a decrease for mid-mature cells, and an increase for late-mature cells. The combined effect of TNF-a and lactobacillus LE culture filtrate was characterized by stimulation of PI for medium-mature cells and significant inhibition of PI of late-mature cells.
Conclusions. The synergistic effect of lactobacillus culture filtrates and inflammatory factors will contribute to the accelerated elimination of late-mature and affected cells from the intestine and stimulate the proliferation of young and medium-mature cells to replace them, thereby promoting the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium and accelerate recovery. At the same time, probiotic strains of lactobacilli can enhance the interferonogenic properties of gastroenteritis viruses, and ultimately stimulating the formation of specific immunity in these diseases.
New Approach for Automated Explanation of Material Phenomena Using Artificial Neural Networks

Published: June 2024

Artificial intelligence methods, especially artificial neural networks (ANNs), have increasingly been utilized for the mathematical description of physical phenomena in (metallic) material processing. Traditional methods often fall short in explaining the complex, real-world data ob-served in production. While ANN models, typically functioning as "black boxes," improve pro-duction efficiency, a deeper understanding of the phenomena, akin to that provided by explicit mathematical formulas, could enhance this efficiency further. This article proposes a general framework that leverages (CAE) ANNs to explain predicted results alongside their graphical presentation, marking a significant improvement over previous approaches and those relied on expert assessments. Unlike existing Explainable AI (XAI) methods, the proposed framework mimics the standard scientific methodology, utilizing minimal parameters for the mathematical representation of physical phenomena and their derivatives. Additionally, it analyzes the relia-bility and accuracy of the predictions using well-known statistical metrics, transitioning from deterministic to probabilistic descriptions for better handling of real-world phenomena. The proposed approach addresses both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties inherent in the data. The concept is demonstrated through the hot extrusion of aluminum alloy 6082, where CAE ANN models and predicts key parameters, and ChatGPT explains the results, enabling researchers and/or engineers to better understand the phenomena and outcomes obtained by ANNs.
