«Krass aus der Norm gefallen»? Das Konzept der «schweren Persönlichkeitsstörung» in der Auswahl männlicher Delinquenten für Sozialtherapeutische Anstalten in Nordrhein-Westfalen in den 1970er Jahren
Authors: Streng Marcel
Published: December 2020

Ende der 1960er Jahre entstand während der Großen Strafrechtsreform in Westdeutschland die Sozialtherapeutische Anstalt als dem Strafvollzug und der Psychiatrie zwischengelagerte eigenständige Institution. Sie sollte Straffällige behandeln, denen Gutachter vor Gericht eine «schwere Persönlichkeitsstörung » attestierten. Der Beitrag analysiert, wie dieses Indikationsmerkmal bei der Auswahl männlicher Probanden in zwei nordrhein-westfälischen sozialtherapeutischen Modellanstalten ausgelegt wurde. Die psychisch abnorme Täterpersönlichkeit, so die These, wurde im Verlauf der 1970er Jahre durch psychologische Diagnostik zunehmend entpathologisiert und normalisiert, während gleichzeitig therapeutische Verfahren an das Umfeld des Strafvollzugs angepasst wurden.

Authors: TAN Yiğit , YILDIZ Ramazan
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada yeni sütten kesilen besi buzağılarında transport sonrası ilk günkü klinik bulguların ve stres yapıcı faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Bu çalışmada araca bindirme, taşıma ve padoklara ayırma işleminde ortalama 5-6 saatlik bir süre geçiren 160 adet sütten kesme döneminde erkek buzağılar kullanıldı. Hayvanlar 70 ile 90 günlük yaş aralığındaki holştayn ırkı buzağılardan oluştu. Taşıma işlemine tabi tutulacak hayvanlar nakilden bir gün önce sağlıklı görünümde olduğu tespit edilen hayvanlardan seçildi. Çalışmaya alınan hayvanlarda nakil işlemi sonunda iniş rampasında ve padoklara alınırken yaşadıkları strese bağlı hareketlerde tedirginlik tespit edildi. 160 hayvandan 64'nün kritik sınır olarak bildirilen 39.4'ün üzerinde vücut ısısına sahip olduğu, hiçbirinde spontan öksürük ve kulaklarda düşüklük olmadığı belirlendi. Ancak 23 hayvanda hafif bir palpasyonda öksürüğün tetiklendiği, 29 hayvanda da tek ve/veya çift taraflı gözyaşı akıntısı olduğu ve 19 hayvanda da serö-müköz bir nazal akıntı varlığı tespit edildi. On üç hayvanda 40 derecenin üzerinde vücut ısısı olduğu bunların üçünde nazal akıntı, gözyaşı ve palpasyon sonrası öksürük varlığı belirlendi. Hayvanların ilk 3 saat yem ve suya ilgi göstermediği ve genelde sternal pozisyonda yatma eğiliminde olduğu görüldü. Yeme alışma süreçlerinin en az 1 hafta sürdüğü görüldü. Sonuç olarak hayvanların sütten kesme döneminde toplulaştırma yapılan buzağıların nakil süreci ile birlikte oluşan strese bağlı pneumoniye yatkınlıklarının arttığı tespit edildi. Bu sürecin çok iyi gözlemlenmesi ve alışma dönemindeki sürü gözlemlerine önem verilmesi gerektiği görüldü.

Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ophthalmic hypertension have an increased likelihood of developing occlusions (thrombosis) of the central retinal vein. Different groups of antihypertensive drugs differ in their mechanism of action and may affect concomitant ocular pathology, in particular, retinal edema, which occurs, for example, in occlusion of the central retinal vein. Used in most patients with glaucoma, prostaglandin analogs can contribute to the long-term preservation of macular edema due to the effect on the permeability of the vascular wall. Preparations of other pharmacological groups, reducing the production of aqueous humor, on the contrary, may contribute to its regression. Therefore, the question of choosing a drug for antihypertensive therapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and concomitant macular edema is relevant and is for further study.

Published: December 2020

The article presents an overview of methods for determining the effectiveness of advertising appeals of the enterprise in conditions of competition. It is shown that the sale of goods in large batches leads to a reduction in sales costs associated with the organization of sales, transportation and storage. Therefore, when providing a quantitative discount, their value should not exceed the amount of cost savings of the seller, which is caused by the sale of goods in large batches. Similar to the effects of real responses to advertising appeals, the effects of the price of the enterprise's products are distinguished: the current effect, the form effect, the competition effect and the transition effect. The process of modeling the effects of the promotion price and the control price is considered, and of interest is the temporary price for the buyer with a discount, which is actually provided by sales managers at the enterprise. Then there will be an effect of discounts on temporary base prices. The price discount is considered as a part of the price of the goods which can be introduced by the enterprises-manufacturers for the purpose of stimulation and interest of the enterprises-sellers to sell production. In the study of product sales, a problem was found related to sales of products in the area of the price discount offered by the price list, which represents the constant prices of the company for a certain period of time. The promotion price is defined as the discount on the products of the enterprise price according to the price list. It is determined that buyers, focusing on the system of discounts, avoid buying hardware in the approach to the transition of prices and increase the volume of purchases after the transition discount. A comparison of retail and base prices, and base and wholesale prices for hardware. It is proved that the company when approaching the price discount loses the profit that could be obtained, and this problem causes losses to both parties and the seller and buyer. It is shown that the policy of promoting price discounts of Metal-Holding encourages consumers to buy more hardware, which is not beneficial to the buyer, because it causes additional costs for storage of the balance. It is concluded that the problem at some weight interval when approaching the existing price discount on the left and right requires the establishment of a floating price discount on the company's products.

Published: December 2020

The article is aimed at studying approaches to the definition of “Organizational Development” (OD). A study of definitions and characteristics of the OD concept has shown that most authors use keywords to explain the essence of the concept, others focus on the constituent elements as objects of influence. Many of researchers add a goal or desired outcome, and others consider organizational development more likely in terms of the approaches used. A number of definitions provided by various authors from 1970 to the present are considered. Using of morphological analysis, the definition was decomposed by the formula “what, of what, for what and with what” into the following constituent elements: keyword, object of influence, goal, approach or means. The most repetitive keyword is “process”, the most common goal is “effectiveness and efficiency of the organization”. Objects as operands are organizational strategies, structure and culture. And for the most part, the authors note the behavioral approach as the main one used in organizational development. A generalized definition is made of the most recurring elements. Each of the elements was subjected to further analysis in chronological order. In particular, it was defined a change in the formulation of OD goal to ”meet the needs of stakeholders” and in approaches to organizational development, namely from a purely behavioral to systemic. Given these considerations, Organizational Development is defined as an ongoing process of transforming organizational strategies, structures and culture to meet external and internal stakeholders through a system of approaches, most notably behavioral. This definition allows you to form an idea of OD as a process, and consider it in the dynamics and identify the objects of influence or focus of attention and management efforts; declares the main goal of development, on which depends the formulation of the desired current results. Based on these three components, approaches or methods of influence should be identified, because, as noted, only the behavioral approach is not exhaustive in OD.

Published: December 2020

The level of development of a country largely depends on the level of development of its cities. It is in the cities that industrial production is concentrated, innovative processes take place, and investments are attracted. Modern cities are entering into competitive relations. Competition is mainly for labor, financial, economic and other resources. After all, the purpose of forming a high level of competitiveness is to ensure a high standard of living for city residents. The difficulty of the competition of modern cities is that a city that cannot withstand it cannot cease to exist (unlike economic entities). The process of managing the competitiveness of a modern city should be aimed not only at ensuring economic growth but also at high social standards. The difficulties in managing the city's competitiveness also lie in the active implementation of administrative reform, as many modern cities are becoming centers of united territorial communities. The effectiveness of the city's competitiveness management process will depend on the effectiveness of the city's competitive advantage. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of competitiveness management of a modern city and study the role of competitive advantages in the formation of the desired level of competitiveness of the city. The article investigates and analyzes the main approaches to the interpretation of the categories "competitiveness of the city" and "competitive advantages of the city" and also presents its own vision for the interpretation of economic categories. The main groups of competitive advantages of the city of Mukachevo are analyzed. The role of the index of competitiveness of cities in decision-making in the field of management of competitiveness of the modern city is investigated. This issue is especially important given that the city's competitiveness is given less attention. In modern realities, attention is focused on issues of product competitiveness, the economy, the economy as a whole. A more in-depth study of the process of formation and management of competitive advantages of the city will allow to change the regional policy taking into account the interests and peculiarities of the development of certain territories, communities, regions.

Introduction. The core of the organization is its business model, which is based on various capitals, understood as resources, and through its commercial activities turns them into products (goods, services, by-products and waste). The activities of the organization and its products lead to results in terms of impact on capital. The ability of a business model to adapt to change (for example, the availability, quality, and availability of resources) can affect the long- term viability of an organization. Misunderstanding of the content of the business model by practitioners leads to the fact that the reflection of the business model in the integrated reporting of both domestic and foreign companies is not uniform. The implementation of the above issue will provide an appropriate author's approach to the interpretation of the business model in integrated reporting, as well as a detailed analysis of its components. Therefore, the topical issue will be the reflection of the business model in the integrated reporting of foreign and domestic enterprises. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine the essence of the business model in integrated reporting, as well as analysis of its components, provided by foreign and domestic enterprises. Methods. The following methods were used during the study: analysis and synthesis (disclosure of the economic essence of the business model in integrated reporting); grouping (selection of approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the business model in the scientific works of researchers); observation (selection of foreign and domestic enterprises that reflect the business model in integrated reporting); logical generalization of results (formulation of conclusions). Results. In the course of the study, the author's approach to defining the essence of the business model in integrated reporting was formed, based on the grouping of approaches in the scientific works of foreign and domestic authors. A business model in integrated reporting is a description of an enterprise's activities, reveals its resources (capital) with the help of which value is created, and also the value of an enterprise is formed during its activities. Discussion. Further research is proposed to focus on the value creation process in integrated reporting. This will allow us to understand how the enterprise creates value for society as a whole, and for individual stakeholders.

After all, they are a fundamental parameter of the reproduction process, which determines the possibilities of sustainable and long-term economic and social development of the country. The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence and main trends of capital investments in Ukraine, which play an important role in the development of Ukrainian enterprises, individual industries and the economy as a whole. The investment process occupies a leading place in the reproduction of the social product. The article analyzes capital investments by types of assets, considers their dynamics, in the course of this study it was found that more than 95% of capital investments are tangible assets. That is why special attention was paid to the study of capital investment in tangible assets. It is revealed what factors and phenomena influence the volume of capital investments in different types of assets, the tendencies of changes are analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the dynamics during 2010-2019 was positive, but the volume of capital investment is insufficient to ensure the normal development of economic processes. An analysis of the issue of sources of financing of capital investments was carried out, as a result of which it was found that the main source of financing of capital investments is the own funds of enterprises and organizations, and the share of all domestic investments is over 97%. This phenomenon is negative and indicates the reluctance of foreign investors to pursue investment policy in Ukraine, the reasons for this are also disclosed in the article, as well as proposed measures that will improve investment attractiveness. The volume of capital investments from the state (funds of the state and local budgets) has been changed, and the factors that influenced these changes have been considered. It also looked at how capital investment has changed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and which industries have suffered the most from underfunding. The article makes assumptions about the time required to return to the volume of capital investment at the level of 2019.

The article substantiates the methodological tools for the formation of the mechanism for implementing the strategy of sustainable economic development of the hotel and restaurant industry. To ensure the operation of the mechanism, a system of indicators and criteria for assessing the process of sustainable economic development, based on accelerating the growth of efficiency and reducing operating costs through reserve and progressive development of resource potential of the enterprise. The paper identifies the stages of sustainable economic development of the enterprise, which include: identification, grouping and analysis of factors of progressive and reserve development, their classification and determining the degree of influence on the growth of operational (production and administrative and marketing) activities, progressive development of resource potentials; development of regression models and indicators of progressive, reserve and sustainable (static and dynamic) economic development, which explain the patterns of influence of factors on performance indicators; forecasting the parameters of efficiency and cost of production and commercial activities; formation of the volume and structure of investments by types of capital investments that ensure the progressive development of resource potentials, economic growth and sustainability of the enterprise. A methodology for creating regression models and indicators was developed, which provided an opportunity to assess and predict the ratio of resource costs and the level of operational efficiency, as well as change the performance indicator by changing the values of factor parameters or their total value in different combinations. The algorithm of the organizational and economic mechanism of realization of strategy of management of steady economic development of the enterprise of hotel and restaurant sphere is constructed. This algorithm provided the ability to determine the reserves of available resources, as well as to establish the required size and structure of capital investments that reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production and administrative activities.

The article analyzes ways to increase the efficiency of public administration in the field of procurement. The legal and regulatory conditions that affect the ability of the private sector to interact with the public sector in order to make a profit are described. The analysis of these conditions focuses on two key aspects: the procurement process, starting from the stage of formation of demand for goods, work, services and ending with the implementation of the state contract, and the mechanism for reviewing complaints in the system. The following indicators of system efficiency were used as indicators for these processes: needs assessment, invitation to participate in procurement; submission of applications; consideration, evaluation of applications, conclusion of a contract; content and management of the contract; warranty obligations; payment obligations; complaints submitted to the bodies of first instance; complaints filed with the bodies of second instance. It should be noted that this list of basic data is not exhaustive, but most significantly affects the final effect of the implementation of norms and rules of procurement in the country. Based on the results of the analysis of the World Bank research, recommendations have been developed for improving the organizational and administrative methods of managing the system of goods, works and services procurement. It is proved that the assessment of the economic efficiency of placing an order can be carried out in comparison with: the maximum possible indicators within the procedure completed by the time of analysis; with generalized results of the initial level using the same procedures; with positions planned by the customer, taking into account one or more indicators. The opinion on the need to analyze all the processes taking place in the public procurement system: from procurement planning to monitoring the progress of the contract. In addition, it is emphasized that when assessing the effectiveness of procurement, it is necessary to take into account not only the economic efficiency and effectiveness of the procedure, but also social efficiency, as one of the objectives of procurement is to meet customer needs.

The latest developments demonstrated that the social development in Ukraine and its communities can occur in different scenarios, which are constantly updated due to external and internal factors. It is established that the basis of these scenarios is the reform of decentralization of power. Its main purpose is to form the welfare of an individual citizen of a certain community. Thus, the paper objective is to carry out an overall study of social factors, risks, conflicts and prospects for decentralization of power. It is emphasized that in conditions of uncertainty it is difficult to make accurate assessments of its consequences. However, some social factors, risks, conflicts and prospects of decentralization of power at the regional and local levels are already to some extent clearly defined. It was defened that the following social factors are possible: conservatism of the inhabitants of a particular territory; their unwillingness to change the already established way of life, as well as their unwillingness to change the established order of development of power relations etc. it is justified that these factors are characterized by risk-taking and conflict. They can cause positive and negative consequences. It is determined that the social base of these risks and conflicts is the population of a certain territorial community, among which a significant influence may be exerted by the subregional elite. The functions of state authorities and local self-government bodies in the social sphere have been established, which should be implemented in the conditions of decentralization and the emergence of subject-subject relations. However, in Ukraine in the medium term (3-4 years) we can expect the implementation of such scenarios that directly depend on public policy measures taken by the government in the short term in the social sphere through decentralization reform. It is determined that the optimistic scenario of the state policy of Ukraine should provide of strengthening of social security of the regions.

During the quarantine period, due to the threat and spread of coronavirus, both in Ukraine and in the world, the issue of food security arose. In the context of changing export policy, international organizations were the first to sound the alarm. Frightened by the photos with empty shelves in the markets, Ukrainians also began to ask about the possibilities of providing the necessary in the future. As countries take action to end the growing COVID-19 pandemic, extreme caution should be exercised and the potential impact on food supply and unexpected consequences for global trade and food security should be minimized. In order to protect the health and well-being of their citizens, countries must ensure that no trade measures disrupt the food supply chain. The article highlights the basic concepts of food security, its components and the impact of quarantine on food security. The subject of the article is the food security of Ukraine, the state, problems after the introduction of quarantine measures.

Published: December 2020

An electrochemical method for the green and practical synthesis of a broad range of substituted isoxazoline cores is presented. Both aryl and more challenging alkyl aldoximes are converted to the desired isoxazoline via an electrochemically enabled regio- and diastereoselective reaction with electron-deficient alkenes. Additionally, in-situ reaction monitoring methods compatible with electrochemistry equipment have also been developed in order to probe the reaction pathway. Supporting analyses from kinetic (time-course) modeling and density functional theory support a stepwise, radical-mediated mechanism, and discounts hypothesized involvement of closed shell [3+2] cycloaddition pathways.
