The specifics of legal relations in the sphere of enforcement proceedings as a procedure for compulsory execution of judicial acts and acts of other specially authorized bodies inevitably affect the features of the procedural position of the judicial bodies in this procedure. In this regard, the authors have attempted to determine the actual legal status of the court in this area and identify the most pressing problems that arise in the implementation of its main powers. To achieve this goal, both General scientific (logical and system) and private scientific (formal legal, comparative legal, legal interpretation) research methods were used. It is established that the court is not a monofunctional body, having multiple procedural functions in this procedure at almost every stage of enforcement proceedings. The authors describe their own classification of the powers of courts of arbitration and courts of General jurisdiction in the procedure of compulsory execution of judicial acts, the provisions of the current legislation and legal positions of legal scholars, the materials of law-enforcement practice of the Federal bailiff service. The author studies problematic issues that arise in the course of the courts' performance of their functions in the framework of enforcement, as well as in the process of interaction with the bodies that perform it. Special attention is also paid to the so-called «judicial rulemaking» carried out by the highest judicial authorities of the Russian Federation, and it is concluded that the authority of their guidelines is gradually increasing, including in the field of enforcement proceedings. In addition, it is concluded that the provisions of the current legislation on enforcement proceedings in conjunction with the array of judicial practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation may in the future become the legal and practical basis for the draft Executive code of the Russian Federation.

Published: April 2021

Problem statement. The introduction of judicial conciliation procedures in the arbitration, civil and administrative process in order to protect the rights of consumers of services can serve as a positive impetus to the development of civilized out-of-court dispute resolution. However, the corresponding norms of APC RF, CPC RF, the CAJ RF and the Regulation of judicial reconciliation includes a number of provisions that are subject to critical analysis. Special attention should be paid to the rules that establish requirements for candidates for judicial conciliators, in terms of the need for retired judges to conduct research activities, which can hardly be considered justified. Purpose and objectives of the study. To identify the essential features of the application of judicial reconciliation in the protection of the rights of consumers of services during the reform of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation. Objectives of the study: to perform judicial reconciliation in the protection of the rights of consumers of services to identify deficiencies of legal regulation in the field of judicial reconciliation under the protection of the rights of consumers, to formulate separate proposals for reform of the law. Method of research. We used empirical methods of comparison, description, and interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; and historical-legal and comparative-legal methods. Results, brief conclusions. It is determined that the current Russian legislation in relation to the judicial process now provides for three types of conciliation procedures used to protect the rights of consumers of services: negotiations, mediation and judicial reconciliation. Mediation and judicial reconciliation, although separated by law, are not fundamentally different in nature. Although there are different requirements for mediators in these types of reconciliation, the appropriateness of such a separation is not sufficiently convincing. It is established that the requirements imposed on conciliators in combination with the powers vested in them can negatively affect the results of reconciliation to protect the rights of consumers of services. In this regard, it is proposed to amend the relevant procedural codes and the Rules of judicial reconciliation, which would eliminate the identified contradictions and shortcomings.

Authors:   Russian State University of Justice (Moscow), Chetvertakova E. Ju.
Published: April 2021

The complex nature of the act of the illegal acquisition of narcotic substances, creates problems in determining the boundaries of the intrusion and determining the stage of the crime, which leads to a lack of uniformity in the application of the provisions of Article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The purpose of this article is to identify the problems that arise during the qualification of illegal acquisition of narcotic drugs, and to suggest ways to solve them. Tasks: analysis of the concept of the acquisition of narcotic drugs, the establishment of signs that are part of the objective side of the encroachment, the definition of the boundaries of the objective element to differentiate the stages of the crime. The article is based on an analysis of criminal legislation, doctrinal provisions and judicial practice. The author concludes that the acquisition of a narcotic substances is an act as a result of which a person is able to possess, use and dispose of the drug at his own discretion. The moment of completion of the crime should be associated with the possibility of disposing of the drug received. The seizure of narcotic drugs from the purchaser in the course of law enforcement intelligence operations cannot be considered as a completed crime. When determining the initial stage of the actus reus, the method of committing the crime should be taken into account. The conclusion is substantiated that it is inadmissible to use by analogy the explanation of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the content of the sale of narcotic drugs when interpreting the sign of illegal acquisition.

Published: April 2021

This paper examines the role of cultural actors in promoting sustainability in an urban living lab (ULL). The case study utilizes thematic analysis on the interviews of cultural actors working in the multi-sectoral, circular-economy oriented Hiedanranta ULL in Tampere. The results of the study show, first, that the cultural sector is not detached from the innovative business and experimentation sector of the ULL. On the contrary, cultural actors advance creative ambience and co-develop experimentations, making them an essential part of the ULL innovation processes. Second, cultural actors promote social and cultural sustainability at the local level, which often stays hidden in the processes of upscaling innovations. Third, the sustainable and transformative potential of cultural actors, within and beyond the ULL is mostly horizontal. The results suggest that the cultural sector, comprising civil society actors, can have a multidimensional effect on ULL development.

Malaria was tested by antigen rapid diagnostic test.As is the practice in the Blood Bank, all positive samples were subject to repeat test for confirmation, beforethe seropositive blood unit is discardedThe information extracted from the Dhiraj Hospital blood bank database also included donor Id, Age, Sex,Residential address, donation type, donation frequency.Results: The data analysed in the study consisted of a total 20,711 blood donations, of which 2728 (13.1%)were voluntary and 18,288 (86.9%) were replacement donation.The seroprevalence rate of HIV was 0.1, that of HBV was 1.4, HCV 0.1, syphilis was 0.5 and Malaria was0.3 among all the blood donors. The TTIs were more frequently found in replacement donors in comparisonto volunteer donors.Conclusions:Ø The prevalence of TTI is higher in replacement blood donors than voluntary blood donors, hencecollection of blood from replacement donors should be at least reduced, if not totally eliminated.Ø Stringent criteria need to be used for selection of blood donors.Ø Potential Voluntary blood donors need to be identified and motivated to donate blood regularly.

The quality of health care is on the agenda in most health care systems. Much of this interest in quality ofcare has developed in response to recent dramatic transformations of health care systems, accompanied bynew organizational structures and reimbursement strategies that may affect quality of care. Assessing thequality of care has become increasingly important to providers, regulators, and purchasers of care. Indicatorsfor performance and outcome measurement allow the quality of care and services to be measured. Thisassessment can be done by creating quality indicators that describe the performance that should occur fora particular type of patient or the related health outcomes, and then evaluating whether patients’ care isconsistent with the indicators based on evidence-based standards of care. Quality of care can be definedas ‘the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desiredhealth outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge’, and can be divided into differentdimensions according to the aspects of care being assessed. This paper will focus define clinical indicatorsin a standard way for a global audience, and to review a few classifications of clinical indicators that may beuseful to those who wish to measure quality of care and describe the performance of health care and relatedoutcomes.

Background: Paraplegia defined as near total dysfunction of the entire or part of the trunk and both lowerlimbs, caused by lesions of the thoracic or lumbar spinal cord or cauda equina. 43% of SCI results inparaplegia for thoracic, lumbar, or sacral lesion. The purpose of physical therapy management is to makethe patient relaxed and to achieve pre-ambulatory preparations, pre-ambulatory activities and ambulationactivities.Methods/Design: The study will be designed as experimental study. Total 60 participants will be selectedas per inclusion and exclusion criteria from AVBRH, Sawangi Meghe for the study. The duration of studywill 6 months with intervention. Physiotherapy intervention includes respiratory care, skin protection,range of motions and early reinforcement, early mobility activity, bed mobility skills, transfer activitiesand wheelchair skills. ASIA Impairment Scale, Functional Independent Measure, Wheelchair Skill Test,WHOQOL-BREF will be major outcome measure for the patient.Discussion: The study protocol details, in people with SCI the intervention strategy selected is largely basedon the amount of preserved motor function. Independence in functional skills in patients with completemotor SCI (ASIA A and B) is largely achieved through compensatory mechanisms and interventions aredeveloped accordingly. Expected outcome from the study will be the effects of early pre-ambulatory trainingon functional mobility skills and quality of life in low paraplegia.

As the petrol pump workers workconstantly for more than 8 hours per day for 6 days a week and thus being constantly exposed to petrol/dieselfumes, are at a high risk of developing respiratory problems.Objectives:1)To assess the knowledge of petrol pump workers regarding respiratoryproblems. 2) To assessthe attitude towards respiratory problems among petrol pumpworkers. 3)To find out the association betweenknowledge score with selected demographic variables 4)To find out the association between attitude towardsrespiratory problems with selected demographicvariables.Hypothesis:H1-there will be a significant association between petrol pump workers and selected demographicvariables. H2- there will be no significant association between knowledge of respiratory problems andselected demographicvariables.Methods and Materials:A descriptive study was conducted in Wardha district to assess the knowledgeof petrol pump workers regarding respiratoryproblems. Total 100 petrol pump workers were selected byprobability simple random sampling technique.Modified structured questionnaire and Likert scale was usedto assess knowledge and attitude of petrol pump workers respectively.Descriptive statistics like frequenciesand percentages were used for representing the analyzed data.Result:Findings shows that 3% of the petrol pump workers were having poor level of knowledge score, 13%had average, 49% had good and 35% of them had excellent level of knowledge score.87% of petrol pumpworkers had positive attitude. There was positive correlation was established between knowledge score andattitude score of petrol pump workers(r=0.283, p=0.0001)Conclusion:Findings suggest that petrol pump workers were aware about the respiratory problems due tooccupational hazards and somewhat their attitude was positive towards their health.
