Authors: Почтовий М. М.
Published: November 2021

The scientific article considers the issue of modern understanding of the essence of the principle of dispositiveness in the criminal proceedings of Ukraine, as well as its classification in scientific sources. At the beginning, the author emphasizes the importance of the existence of the principle of dispositiveness in criminal proceedings and its impact on the implementation of the rights and freedoms of participants in criminal proceedings. On the basis of the defined criteria the classification of dispositiveness in criminal proceedings is carried out: 1) on the maintenance - social, material and formal (procedural); 2) according to the methods of connection of elements in the structure of dispositiveness - horizontal (equal-order) and vertical (different-order); 3) by enshrining dispositive norms in the substantive or procedural law - substantive and procedural; 4) on the generality of powers used by the subjects of dispositive rights - general, group and exclusive powers (the right to the last word of the defendant); 5) on the subordination of rights and freedoms (legal provisions) of the subjects of dispositiveness - the main provisions, provisions that ensure the implementation of the basic; 6) depending on the scope of powers granted to participants in criminal proceedings, for a certain period of time - static and dynamic; 7) depending on how many participants in the criminal proceedings are endowed with dispositiveness in a particular criminal proceeding - unilateral and bilateral; 8) depending on the mechanism of realization of dispositive rights - constitutive and situational; 9) for the subject of dispositive rights - suspect, defense counsel, accused, legal representatives, victim, civil plaintiff, civil defendant, witnesses, etc. The author of the study formulates the definition of dispositiveness in the criminal proceedings of Ukraine - it is a conscious need for active and purposeful activities of entities endowed with dispositive rights, the implementation of which affects the emergence, change or termination of criminal procedural relations and aims to defend their own or representative interests.
FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING OFFICIAL INVESTIGATIONS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ITS USE IN UKRAINE
Authors: Зайцева Ю. Л.
Published: November 2021

The relevance of the article is that during the years of independence our state has achieved significant positive changes, both in the direction of improving the social component and the development of state and legal processes. In particular, in the last two decades, rule-making work has been intensified, which has ensured the renewal of the regulatory framework and the elimination of Soviet legal institutions. At the same time, the "youth" of our independent country still necessitates broad rule-making. In particular, the labor law sector today is perhaps the most "archaic" among other industries, as its regulations are governed by the law adopted in 1971. As a result, many legal institutions that have long functioned in the field of labor do not actually have proper legal regulations. On the other hand, our country has no other, alternative experience in regulating labor relations than the Soviet one. This aspect directly relates to the problem of regulation and implementation of official investigations in labor law, which is not paid any attention in the existing legal system. To correct this negative factor and build directions for the development of legal regulation and mechanisms for conducting official investigations, it is necessary to study foreign experience, which, first, as a "litmus test" will look at the possible prospects of the relevant model of official investigations on the example of other countries, secondly, it will ensure the adoption and consolidation of the most positive developments that will meet both the interests of society and international standards. The purpose of the article is: to generalize the foreign experience of conducting official investigations and to study the possibilities of its use in Ukraine. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists, summarizes the foreign experience of official investigations. We have formed our own vision of the possibilities of using the relevant experience in the domestic realities, which will not only ensure compliance of the investigation procedure with the best international examples, but also in many respects increase the level of guarantee of rights and legitimate interests of employees.
GROUNDS AND PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINALIZATION OF VIOLATION OF THE PROCEDURE OF ENTRY INTO THE TEMPORARILY OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF UKRAINE AND EXIT FROM IT
Authors: Деркач В. Г.
Published: November 2021

The article examines the current state of the law on criminal liability for violation of the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, as a result of which Art. 332-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to decriminalize at least because the regime of the temporarily occupied territories is temporary, and the temporary articles of the criminal law to the world have not yet been known. The Constitution of Ukraine in Art. 17 declared that the protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, ensuring its economic and information security are the most important functions of the state, the business of the entire Ukrainian people. The defense of Ukraine, protection of its sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability are entrusted to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ensuring state security and protection of the state border of Ukraine are entrusted to the relevant military formations and law enforcement agencies of the state, the organization and procedure of which are determined by law. In late 2013 - early 2014, the Russian Federation, taking advantage of the problems in our army to perform such functions, launched an open armed aggression, which, in addition to killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians, led to the illegal annexation of Crimea and occupation of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In fact, the state border with the Russian Federation in eastern Ukraine has become a line of demarcation between the territory controlled by the state of Ukraine and the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Parliament reacted to this acute problem in a rather predictable way - on April 15, 2014, the Law of Ukraine № 1207-VII “On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens and the Legal Regime in the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine” was adopted. 332-1 "Violation of the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine." Such a decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine provoked both sharp discussions in the science of criminal law and problems in the application of this norm in practice. Thus, during the period under study from 2014 to February 2021, we registered 212 cases of violation of the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. However, according to the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, the courts of Ukraine have handed down 30 court convictions for violating the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Of these, 7 were handed down in 2015, 21 in 2016, and one sentence each in 2017 and 2019.
TASKS AND PRINCIPLES OF ENSURING THE INTERACTION OF COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE BODIES WITH OTHER ENTITIES OF THE SECURITY SECTOR FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL PROTECTION
Authors: Жук Т. І.
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to formulate the tasks and principles of ensuring the interaction of counterintelligence bodies with other actors in the security sector in order to protect national interests. The article is devoted to the disclosure of tasks and principles of interaction of counterintelligence bodies with other subjects of the security sector for the purpose of protection of national interests. It is determined that in the studied context the tasks answer the question why it is necessary to organize the implementation of situational or systematic jointly coordinated actions of counterintelligence bodies with other security sector entities and what positive results can be achieved by using this activity to protect national interests. It is noted that the basis for its organization and implementation should be considered the need for a permanent counterintelligence regime, ie timely receipt of operational information that will prevent the implementation of intelligence and subversive activities to the detriment of Ukraine by foreign intelligence services or organizations and groups. It is emphasized that it is not entirely appropriate to generalize the interaction of counterintelligence bodies with other actors in the security sector in order to protect national interests only by the existence of a permanent counterintelligence regime, as it has a number of other tasks – global and specific. These tasks are formed by specially authorized authorities – the strategic management of the security sector and the direct leadership of counterintelligence agencies. In order to do this correctly, efficiently and properly (within the legal norms), these entities must be guided by specific principles. They are classified into two groups – general principles of ensuring the interaction of counterintelligence bodies with other actors in the security sector in order to protect national interests related to the administrative procedure and special principles dictated by the specifics of counterintelligence activities.
THE CONCEPT OF NORMATIVE BASIS OF ORGANIZATION JUDICIARY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Щерблюк О. В.
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes modern views on the concept of principles and principles of organization of the judiciary in Ukraine. It is determined that the judiciary of Ukraine is based on four basic legal principles: separation of powers, rule of law, independence and impartiality of the court (judges). All four of these principles are specified in the principles of the organization of the judiciary and are the basis for building different methods of accountability. It has been shown that legal principles and principles may have different weights in different societies depending on their objective circumstances and people's perceptions of these circumstances, as different societies may give priority to some of these principles and principles at certain periods of their development. The result of this socio-historical development is the presence of a wide range of institutional organizations that are part of the judiciary, but they all base the organization of their activities on certain general legal principles and principles. Analysis of the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine "On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges" revealed that the basics of the organization of the judiciary include the principles of the judiciary and the legal framework for organizing the judiciary (structural elements, powers, tasks, etc.) principles and principles are closely related but not identical. Accordingly, the legal principles and principles of the organization of the judiciary in Ukraine are the normative bases, rules of organization and activity of judicial bodies and institutions implemented by state authorities (legislative, executive and judicial) within their competence. It is concluded, however, that: 1) the judiciary of Ukraine is based on four basic legal principles: separation of powers, rule of law, independence and impartiality of the court (judges). All four of these principles are specified in the principles of the organization of the judiciary and are the basis for building different methods of accountability; 2) legal principles and principles may have different weights in different societies depending on their objective circumstances and people's perception of these circumstances. The point is that different societies may give priority to some of these principles and principles at certain periods of their development. The result of this socio-historical development is the presence of a wide range of institutional organizations that are part of the judiciary, but they all base the organization of their activities on certain general legal principles and principles; 3) the principles of organization of the judiciary in Ukraine are divided into general and special. The general principles of the organization of the judiciary include those relating to the organization of the entire judicial system, and the special ones that relate to individual structural elements of this system (judicial bodies and institutions).

Published: November 2021

The relevance of the article is that any physical or social phenomenon is characterized by external visible to all and deep hidden from the general public provisions. If the first can be seen and evaluated by any inquisitive person, the second can be identified and analyzed only by a highly competent professional. All this fully applies to the problem of administrative and legal support of higher legal education in Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of citizens who are more or less involved in the process of obtaining higher legal education have certain opinions about it. However, only a small part and this is primarily scholars of law can understand the deep internal factors of the analyzed issues. As is known from philosophy, the internal aspects of any philosophical matter are most aptly characterized by the gutter of essence. In today's conditions, legal education in Ukraine is experiencing a period of positive renewal on the basis of the Euro-Atlantic community. However, in the process of carrying out this activity there are both certain legislative inconsistencies, as well as conservative resistance of some scientific and pedagogical orthodoxy. What needs, as a doctrinal essential further improvement of administrative and legal support of higher legal education in Ukraine. The article reveals and generalizes the essence of administrative and legal support of higher legal education in Ukraine. These are the most important in-depth connections regarding the public administration of higher legal education in Ukraine.

FEATURES OF EXPRESSION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST A PERSON WHO IS IN A FAMILY OR CLOSE RELATIONSHIP
Authors: Воробей В. М.
Published: November 2021

The relevance of the article is that sexual violence in family relationships is one of the most common forms of human rights violations. Today, the vast majority of cases of sexual violence against a family member or close associate are accompanied by acts of aggression, humiliation or abuse. In the context of this, the lion's share of these violence falls on children and women in family or close relationships. For a long time, this negative phenomenon was considered the prerogative of customs and traditions, and therefore left out of the scope of legal regulation. People often do not realize that violence is not only beatings, but also constant humiliation, harassment, insults, insults. The aim of the article is to identify modern signs of sexual violence against a person who is in a family or close relationship. The article examines the signs and indicators that may indicate the commission of sexual violence against a person who is in a family or close relationship. Peculiarities of detection of the specified crimes are considered. The mechanisms of committing illegal acts are determined. It is argued that the use of certain methods of detecting sexual violence may have a wide range of applications by those who combat sexual violence. Detecting sexual violence against a person who is in a family or close relationship is very difficult, because usually the only people who know the fact are the abuser and the person who suffered from his actions. In the case of a child victim, a teacher (educator, teacher or other professional) who suspects that the child has been sexually abused should have a good understanding of the signs and symptoms in order to be able to recognize the alarming signals coming from the offended child. It has been found that there is currently no clear answer to the question of how a person who commits sexual violence against a person who is in a family or close relationship. However, parents should first look closely at those who try to pay too much attention to their child. Signs and indicators that the perpetrator is committing sexual violence are not always obvious, but information and facts should be carefully collected to be able to identify and respond in a timely manner.
ORGANIZATIONAL AND TACTICAL FEATURES OF CERTAIN SECRET INVESTIGATIVE (INVESTIGATIVE) ACTIVITIES IN THE INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD IN THE SPHERAGER IN THE SPHERE
Authors: Захарова Г. В.
Published: November 2021

The relevance of the article is that the issue of organization and tactics of covert investigative actions in the theory of criminology is a fairly new concept, because this kind of investigative (investigative) actions in the CPC of Ukraine appeared only after reforming procedural legislation in 2012. Prior to this period, such covert means were not under the legal regulation of criminal procedural law, and their tactical principles were studied mainly in the theory of operational and investigative activities. After these novelties of the CPC of Ukraine, among scientists of the theory of criminology there was a task to develop new tactical recommendations on the tactical features of covert investigative actions. The article examines the organization and tactics of certain covert investigative actions in the investigation of fraud in the field of tourism, committed by an organized group, including seizure of correspondence, knowledge of transport telecommunications networks, removal of information from electronic information systems. Based on the study of different points of view of scientists, the author concluded that the tactics of covert (investigative) actions have their own characteristics and differ from the tactics of investigative actions, in particular because of their secret nature. The author highlights situations in which conducting covert investigative actions in the investigation of fraud in the field of tourism, committed by an organized group, is appropriate. The main tactical features of the seizure of correspondence, removal of information from transport telecommunications systems, removal of information from electronic information systems are outlined. When investigating fraud in the field of tourism, committed by an organized group during these covert investigative (search) actions, the following information relevant to the investigation may be established: 1) on the use of sightseeing and tourist tours for illegal employment, emigration from the country; 2) about travel companies - one-day; 3) on the real state of affairs in the travel agency and on possible tax evasion, inaccurate tax reporting; 4) evasion of insurance payments or non-existent insurance payments; 5) on possible illegal use of personal data, illegal payment transactions, including with bank loans, etc.
FUNDAMENTALS OF METHODOLOGY OF PROCEDURAL MANAGEMENT ON THE PRE-EXAMINATION INVESTIGATION
Authors: Мірковець Д. М.
Published: November 2021

The relevance of the article is that procedural guidance as a form of prosecutorial supervision in pre-trial investigation requires study from the standpoint of the activity approach, ie as a certain set of actions (procedures) in a certain procedural form. The implementation of this activity is carried out using appropriate tools, methods, methods that constitute the authority of the procedural manager as a statutory system of his rights to make decisions and take action to ensure the legality of pre-trial investigation and compliance with the rights of its participants. which may depend on the competence and authority of the subjects to whom they relate and/or the procedural situation. The purpose of the article is to develop the basics of procedural guidance in pre-trial investigation, which we define as a tool designed to address the problems of procedural management, including those that are not directly regulated, their implementation depends on the procedural situation, circumstances, considerations and internal conviction of the prosecutor. These are current, organizational tasks that are aimed at determining the most effective implementation of powers and the use of response tools in accordance with the situation. An attempt has been made to develop the basics of the methodology of procedural management, which include provisions on its organization and content, the relationship of its components. It is substantiated that the development of the methodology provides for further practical content of these provisions, taking into account the tasks of procedural guidance in specific proceedings. Depending on the obtained results and their approbation, it is possible to improve the proposed theses in various areas that are relevant to practice, which will contribute to the development and effective implementation of the human rights potential of the prosecutor's office.
LEGAL REGULATION OF ELECTED EMPLOYEES OF BODIES LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Authors: Васильєва В. В.
Published: November 2021

The articles consider the regulation of certain issues of organization and activity of elected officials of local governments and district state administrations. Attention is paid to the rules of training an electoral employee in local self-government bodies, namely the regulation of the legal status and appointment procedure. Relevant volumes of powers of an elected official of a local self-government body are singled out. It was found that the current Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption" provides for the mandatory conduct of a special inspection only for local government officials of the first - third categories of positions. That is, for chairmen, deputies (first deputies) of chairmen of regional councils, chairmen of district (district in cities) councils, first deputies and deputy mayors (cities - regional centers) on issues of activity of executive bodies of council, secretaries of city (cities - regional centers) councils special inspection is mandatory, as they hold positions of the first - third categories. In other cases, local government officials should be subject to special scrutiny only if their positions are classified as positions of responsibility or special responsibility and positions with a high risk of corruption. The list of such positions was to be approved by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. However, as of today, such a document has not been adopted and, accordingly, there is no legal basis to pass such a special inspection of persons holding positions in local governments of the fourth category and below. At the same time, it should be noted that in practice there are many cases when these persons undergo a special examination voluntarily, at their own request.
School On Wheels and Multimedia-Aided Instructions as Mediators of Students’ Local Cultural Heritage Awareness
Authors: Pedroso John Erwin Prado
Published: November 2021

Countless stories are told about local heritage sites. Because these stories are one-of-a-kind, they present a significant challenge to students' knowledge and awareness of their cultural background. Furthermore, literature is scarce on students' historical and architectural knowledge of local cultural heritage places. This study determined the level of local cultural heritage sites knowledge of sixty (60) students through school on wheels and multimedia-aided instructions. The study made use of a duly-validated researcher-made Local Cultural Heritage Sites Questionnaire. Frequency count, mean, and standard deviation were the descriptive statistics used while t-test was used for inferential statistics set at 0.05 level of significance using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results revealed that the level of students' historical and architectural knowledge of local cultural heritage sites was "moderate" and shifted to "high" when school on wheels and multimedia-aided instructions were introduced. There were significant differences in the historical and architectural knowledge of the students on local cultural heritage sites. Students' knowledge is improved via teaching and learning activities that give experiential and meaningful learning. Increased local cultural heritage knowledge of students is a step forward in promoting cultural heritage conservation and preservation.
Applicability of Neural Networks for the Fermentation of Propionic Acid by Propionibacterium acidipropionici
Authors: Vidra Aladár , Németh Áron
Published: November 2021

According to our best knowledge, this is the first report applying Artificial neural networks (ANN) for simulation of batch propionic acid (PA) fermentation. Therefore, the main focus of this research was to investigate the applicability of ANN on PA fermentations. To demonstrate this, we used the results of 40 Propionibacterium acidipropionici fermentations (ca 2,000 data points) to build up the ANN, and additional two independent fermentations to demonstrate the prediction capability of the observed ANN. Analyzing the predicted output parameters we observed, that ratio of propionic acid to acetic acid (PA/AA) variables can only be used for ANN after normalization. Finally, the fit of the ANN model to the measured data was fine (average correlation coefficients over 0.9). A special feature was also tested: fermentation time was also used as an input parameter, thus making the ANN suitable to predict time course of PA fermentations as well which was also satisfying.
ECONOMIC APPROACH TO LAW
Authors: Зырянов Алексей Викторович , Петров Александр Васильевич
Published: November 2021

Recent legal and economic research has shown that the legal system, its doctrines, procedures and institutions, are influenced by concerns about economic efficiency. From the point of view of foreign researchers, the rules of property rights assumption and the determination of liability, the procedure for the settlement of legal disputes, limitations, methods of calculating damages and the definition of interim measures, as well as other important elements of the legal system are best understood as attempts to promote the effective allocation of resources. Contrary to the idea of normative self-sufficiency, it can be observed that if the legal system were systematically and effectively developed to maximize economic efficiency, the level of strategic planning of legislative activity was much higher.
Puoluekoulutuksen käytäntöarkkitehtuurit
Authors: Pastuhov Annika
Published: November 2021

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan jäsenkoulutustoimintaa kolmessa suomalaisessa eduskuntapuolueessa: Suomen Keskusta, Kansallinen Kokoomus ja Suomen sosiaalidemokraattinen puolue SDP. Teoria käytäntöarkkitehtuureista toimii artikkelin teoreettis-metodologisena viitekehyksenä, jonka avulla voidaan tarkastella käytäntöjä – eli yhteistä inhimillistä, vakiintuneisiin menettelytapoihin nojautuvaa, tarkoituksellista toimintaa – ja käytäntöjen taustalla vaikuttavia ennakkoehtoja. Artikkelin tutkimustehtävänä on tarkastella käytäntöarkkitehtuuriteorian avulla kolmen suomalaisen puolueen jäsenkoulutuskäytäntöjen tarkoituksia ja käytäntöjen taustalla vaikuttavia ennakkoehtoja. Artikkelin tutkimuskysymykset ovat: Mitkä ovat jäsenkoulutuksen pääasialliset tarkoitukset tutkituissa puolueissa? Millaiset ehdot mahdollistavat ja rajoittavat näihin tarkoituksiin liittyvien jäsenkoulutuskäytäntöjen muodostumisen? Tulosten valossa Keskustan jäsenkoulutuksen tarkoituksena on osaamisen tarjoaminen ”samanlaisena ja vaikuttavana” koko jäsenistölle, panostamalla koulutussuunnitteluun ja tukemalla ”poliittista pyrkyryyttä”. Kokoomuksen jäsenkoulutuksen tarkoituksena on tukea asiantuntijuutta ja jäsenten menestystä, missä varsinkin yksilöinti ja tehokkuus nähdään valtteina. SDP:n jäsenkoulutuksen tarkoituksena on jäsenistön ”osallistaminen” ja puolueen ”uudistaminen”, mihin pyritään koulutusten avoimuudella sekä paikallisten olosuhteiden ja historian tuntemuksen huomioimisella. Analyysin koottu tarkastelu osoittaa, että jäsenkoulutuksen tarkoitukset ja ennakkoehdot määrittyvät suhteessa kahteen kysymykseen: Ymmärretäänkö puolue itsessään poliittisena toimijana vai poliittisen toiminnan paikkana? Pyritäänkö koulutuksen välityksellä luomaan jäsenistöön hierarkkisia vai tasavertaisia suhteita?
Sivistys ja demokratia
Authors: Moilanen Antti , Kaarttinen Jyrki , Taneli Matti
Published: November 2021

Laajalti hyväksytään näkemys, että demokraattinen yhteiskunta edellyttää sivistyneitä kansalaisia. Sivistysteorioissa ja poliittisen kasvatuksen malleissa on jäsennetty eri tavoin, mihin sivistyksen ja demokratian suhde perustuu. On yhtäältä ajateltu, että kansalaisten sivistystasosta riippuu demokratian toimivuus, ja toisaalta on korostettu, että sivistys johtaa demokratian laajentumiseen. Artikkelimme tehtävänä on analysoida edellä kuvattuja tapoja hahmottaa demokratiaa ja pohtia niiden välistä jännitettä. Tätä varten tarkastelemme tutkimustietoa demokratian nykytilasta, demokratiateorioita, sivistysteorioita ja poliittisen kasvatuksen malleja. Artikkelissa nostamme esille demokraattisen sivistysajattelun kaksi muotoa. Argumentoimme sen puolesta, että kumpikin tulkinta sivistyksen ja demokratian suhteesta sisältää perusteltuja lähtökohtia. Näiden perinteiden kritiikit toisiaan kohtaan on kuitenkin otettava huomioon. Esitämme, että demokraattisen metaosaamisen käsite voisi osaltaan ratkaista jännitettä eri sivistysteorioiden ja poliittisen kasvatuksen mallien välillä.

Authors: Hietamäki Sari
Published: November 2021

Tämä artikkeli tutkii ranskalaisajattelija Jacques Rancièren älyjen tasa-arvon käsitettä sekä tasa-arvon periaatetta demokratiakasvatuksessa. Artikkelin kollaboratiivinen empiirinen aineisto koostuu 19 opettajaopiskelijan sekä heidän opettajanaan toimineen kirjoittajan autoetnografisista teksteistä yhden lukuvuoden mittaisen kurssin ajalta. Kirjoittajan kokoama ja kertoma moniääninen autoetnografinen tarina tuo esiin erilaisia näkökulmia opettajuuteen ja opettajaksi kasvamiseen, joita peilataan Rancièren ajatteluun. Artikkeli valottaa Rancièren filosofian antia demokratiakasvatukselle ja konkretisoi Rancièren käsitteitä. Lisäksi artikkeli jäsentää älyjen tasa-arvoa autoetnografisen tutkimusmetodin perustana. Artikkeli tarjoaa yhden esimerkin, kuinka demokratiakasvatusta voi toteuttaa ja samalla opettaa yliopistossa.
“Haluan olla onnellinen ja kokea paljon ja elää täysillä”

Published: November 2021

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Tampereen kehyskuntien yhdeksäsluokkalaisten (N=843) elämäntarkoitusta sekä sitä, miten heidän ajatuksissaan näkyy William Damonin määritelmä elämäntarkoituksesta päämääränä, johon yksilö pyrkii pitkäjänteisesti ja joka palvelee itsen lisäksi ympäröivää yhteiskuntaa. Laadulliset vastaukset analysoitiin sisällönanalyysillä ja kvantitatiivinen osuus klusterianalyysilla. Tutkimuksen tuloksena löydettiin neljä päämääräprofiiliaeli päämäärätietoiset (36 %), itsekeskeiset (33 %), haaveilijat (23 %) ja sitoutumattomat (8 %). Päämäärätietoiset olivat parhaiten omaksuneet demokratiassa vaadittavat ja opetussuunnitelman esiin nostamat kansalaistaidot eli osallistumisen ja vastuullisen suhtautumisen tulevaisuuteen. Laadullisen aineiston perusteella yhdeksäsluokkalaisten elämänpäämäärät olivat itsekeskeisiä. Kolme merkittävintä päämäärää oli itsensä toteuttaminen, onnellisuuden tavoittelu ja ura. Kolmasosa nuorista ei ilmaissut mitään elämänpäämäärää. Suhteessa eniten päämäärää vailla olevia oli sitoutumattomien nuorten ryhmässä. Tämä ryhmä haastaa eniten nuorisokasvatusta ja koulua, sillä elämäntavoitteiden puute voi johtaa passiivisuuteen, alisuoriutumiseen ja syrjäytymiseen.
The relationship of non-cognitive factors to academic and clinical performance in graduate rehabilitation science students in the United States: a systematic review
Authors: Reynolds Kelly , Bazemore Caroline , Hanebuth Cannon , Hendren Steph , Horn Maggie
Published: November 2021

Purpose: Rehabilitation science programs utilize cognitive and non-cognitive factors to select students who can complete the didactic and clinical portions of the program and pass the licensure exam. Cognitive factors such a prior grade point average and standardized test scores are known to be predictive of academic performance, but the relationship of non-cognitive factors and performance is less clear. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore the relationship of non-cognitive factors to academic and clinical performance in rehabilitation science programs.Methods: A search of 7 databases was conducted using the following eligibility criteria: graduate programs in physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, United States-based programs, measurement of at least 1 non-cognitive factor, measurement of academic and/or clinical performance, and quantitative reporting of results. Articles were screened by title, abstract, and full text, and data were extracted.Results: After the comprehensive screening, 21 articles were included in the review. Seventy-six percent of studies occurred in PT students. Grit, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and stress were the most commonly studied factors. Only self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and personality traits were examined in clinical and academic contexts. The results were mixed for all non-cognitive factors. Higher grit and self-efficacy tended to be associated with better performance, while stress was generally associated with worse outcomes.Conclusion: No single non-cognitive factor was consistently related to clinical or academic performance in rehabilitation science students. There is insufficient evidence currently to recommend the evaluation of a specific non-cognitive factor for admissions decisions.
New management unit for conservation of the Endangered green turtle Chelonia mydas at the Xisha (Paracel) Islands, South China Sea
Authors: Song J , Lin B , Jia Y , Dutton PH , Kang B , Balazs GH , Liu M
Published: November 2021

The Qilianyu cluster of the Xisha (Paracel) Islands has one of the few remaining green turtle Chelonia mydas rookeries in the China region. Genetic samples were obtained from dead green turtle embryos and hatchlings salvaged from post-hatched nests at Middle Island (n = 3), North Island (n = 9) and South Sand (n = 1) of the Qilianyu cluster in 2017-2019. The ~800 bp mitochondrial DNA control region was sequenced from the samples, and 5 haplotypes were identified belonging to 2 documented clades (clades III and VIII), including 2 new haplotypes (CmP243.1 and CmP244.1) and 3 previously reported haplotypes (CmP18.1, CmP19.1, CmP20.1). These results were combined with previously published mtDNA data for the Qilianyu cluster and nearby (~93 km) Yongle Islands indicating a lack of differentiation based on truncated 384 bp control region sequences (exact test, p = 0.0997; FST = 0.015, p = 0.2760), to represent a single Xisha Islands rookery. The rookery at the Xisha Islands was significantly differentiated (p < 0.01) from all 19 management units (MUs) documented in the Indo-Pacific and Japan regions, supporting recognition of the Xisha Islands rookery as a new independent MU. The results will help inform national and international conservation action plans by China and the countries around the South China Sea to protect green turtles in the West Pacific Ocean.
Specters of Translation: Jacques Derrida, Safaa Fathy, and Nom à la mer
Authors: Cavitch Max
Published: November 2021

This essay explores the film collaborations of Franco-Egyptian filmmaker Safaa Fathy and Franco-Maghrebian philosopher Jacques Derrida, offering an extended reading of their court-métrage, Nom à la mer (2004)—a film about language, exile, and loss, made by a pair of wanderers both keenly interested in the spectral effects of translation as they haunt the filmic medium. Nom à la mer is a cinematic rendering of the French translation of Fathy's original, Arabic-language poem, recited by Derrida in voice-off as Fathy's camera focuses on a single, highly overdetermined site in a small Andalusian town. This essay reads the film as both an artefact of the pathos of translation and as a scene of valediction, played out by both collaborators on grounds simultaneously intimate and historical.

Published: November 2021

New locations for onshore technology, which have not been considered so far, must be developed to increase the total installed capacity of renewable energies, especially wind energy. For this purpose, cost-effective wind turbines, even in difficult-to-access locations, such as mountainous and high-mountainous areas, must be designed. This paper presents a novel wind turbine with a related control system that meets these requirements. The proposed turbine uses a multi-rotor configuration with five rotors arranged in a star shape configuration. Each rotor drive train combines up to 12 generators in a maintenance-friendly multi-generator concept. A suitable observer-based control for load mitigation in the full-load region is proposed for the multi-rotor and multi-generator design. Simulations are used to demonstrate the applicability and practical benefits of this concept.

Research on the relationship between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and postoperative complications/oncological outcomes in elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is limited. This study investigated the prognostic value of the GNRI in aged CRC patients. We retrospectively analyzed 1206 consecutive CRC patients aged over 75 years who underwent curative-intent surgery from January 2008 to December 2015 and categorized them into high GNRI (≥98) and low GNRI (<98) groups according to a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the association of the GNRI with postoperative complications. Kaplan–Meier survival analyses and the Cox proportional hazard model were used to explore the association between GNRI and survival. We discovered that GNRI is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications (HR: 1.774, p = 0.037). Surgical site infection, wound dehiscence and pneumonia were more common in patients with GNRI < 98. Survival analysis showed significantly worse overall survival and disease-free survival in the low GNRI group (both p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, GNRI < 98 was an independent risk factor for OS (HR: 1.329, p = 0.031) and DFS (HR: 1.312, p = 0.034). Thus, preoperative GNRI can be effectively used to predict postoperative complications and long-term survival in elderly CRC patients after curative surgery.

Activating mutations in the Hh pathway underlies the development of sporadic and familial skin BCC. For these oncogenic proliferations displaying ligand-independent activation of the intracellular pathway, two molecules have been approved for therapeutic purposes: vismodegib and sonidegib. Improper Hh signalling occurs in many human tumours also via a paracrine mechanism (ligand-dependent) in which the secretion of Hh ligands by stromal cells support tumour growth. On the other hand, the mobilization of neoplastic stroma by cancer cells is sustained by the activation of Hh signalling in surrounding fibroblasts suggesting a central role of this bidirectional crosstalk in carcinogenesis. Additionally, loss-of-function mutations in the PTCH1 gene in the context of NBCCS, an autosomal dominant disorder predisposing to multiple BCCs, determine tumour permissive phenotypes in dermal fibroblasts. Here, profiling syndromic and BCC-associated fibroblasts unveiled an extraordinary similarity characterized by overexpression of several Hh target genes and a marked pro-inflammatory outline. Both cell types exposed to Hh inhibitors displayed reversion of the tumour-prone phenotype. Under vismodegib and sonidegib treatment, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, frequently over-active in tumour stroma, resulted down-regulated by pAKT-GSK3β axis and consequent increase of β-catenin turnover. Overall, this study demonstrated that vismodegib and sonidegib impacting on fibroblast tumour supportive functions might be considered in therapy for BCC independently to the mutation status of Hh components in neoplastic cells.

The use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors for patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma is limited as patients relapse on treatment as quickly as 6 months due to acquired resistance. We generated trametinib and dabrafenib resistant melanoma (TDR) cell lines to the MEK and BRAF inhibitors, respectively. TDR cells exhibited increased viability and maintenance of downstream p-ERK and p-Akt as compared to parental cells. Receptor tyrosine kinase arrays revealed an increase in p-IGF1R and p-IR in the drug resistant cells versus drug sensitive cells. RNA-sequencing analysis identified IGF1R and INSR upregulated in resistant cell lines compared to parental cells. Analysis of TCGA PanCancer Atlas (skin cutaneous melanoma) showed that patients with a BRAF mutation and high levels of IGF1R and INSR had a worse overall survival. BMS-754807, an IGF1R/IR inhibitor, suppressed cell proliferation along with inhibition of intracellular p-Akt in TDR cells. Dual inhibition of IGF1R and INSR using siRNA reduced cell proliferation. The combination of dabrafenib, trametinib, and BMS-754807 treatment reduced in vivo xenograft tumor growth. Examining the role of IGF1R and IR in mediating resistance to BRAF and MEK inhibitors will expand possible treatment options to aid in long-term success for BRAF-mutant melanoma patients.

This work addresses brain network analysis considering different clinical severity stages of cognitive dysfunction, based on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG). We use a cohort acquired in real-life clinical conditions, which contains EEG data of subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) patients, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. We propose to exploit an epoch-based entropy measure to quantify the connectivity links in the networks. This entropy measure relies on a refined statistical modeling of EEG signals with Hidden Markov Models, which allow a better estimation of the spatiotemporal characteristics of EEG signals. We also propose to conduct a comparative study by considering three other measures largely used in the literature: phase lag index, coherence, and mutual information. We calculated such measures at different frequency bands and computed different local graph parameters considering different proportional threshold values for a binary network analysis. After applying a feature selection procedure to determine the most relevant features for classification performance with a linear Support Vector Machine algorithm, our study demonstrates the effectiveness of the statistical entropy measure for analyzing the brain network in patients with different stages of cognitive dysfunction.

Turbine as a key power unit is vital to the novel supercritical carbon dioxide cycle (sCO2-BC). At the same time, the turbine design and optimization process for the sCO2-BC is complicated, and its relevant investigations are still absent in the literature due to the behavior of supercritical fluid in the vicinity of the critical point. In this regard, the current study entails a multifaceted approach for designing and optimizing a radial turbine system for an 8 MW sCO2 power cycle. Initially, a base design of the turbine is calculated utilizing an in-house radial turbine design and analysis code (RTDC), where sharp variations in the properties of CO2 are implemented by coupling the code with NIST’s Refprop. Later, 600 variants of the base geometry of the turbine are constructed by changing the selected turbine design geometric parameters, i.e., shroud ratio (rs4r3), hub ratio (rs4r3), speed ratio (νs) and inlet flow angle (α3) and are investigated numerically through 3D-RANS simulations. The generated CFD data is then used to train a deep neural network (DNN). Finally, the trained DNN model is employed as a fitting function in the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to explore the optimized design parameters for the turbine’s rotor geometry. Moreover, the off-design performance of the optimized turbine geometry is computed and reported in the current study. Results suggest that the employed multifaceted approach reduces computational time and resources significantly and is required to completely understand the effects of various turbine design parameters on its performance and sizing. It is found that sCO2-turbine performance parameters are most sensitive to the design parameter speed ratio (νs), followed by inlet flow angle (α3), and are least receptive to shroud ratio (rs4r3). The proposed turbine design methodology based on the machine learning algorithm is effective and substantially reduces the computational cost of the design and optimization phase and can be beneficial to achieve realistic and efficient design to the turbine for sCO2-BC.
