Authors: Vaičiūtė Deimantė
Published: June 2024

The article proposes a cultural history perspective, where popular literature is interpreted as a historical source. The genres, aesthetics and themes of these authors’ writing differ, which gives an opportunity to see the problematic diversity of the period, what was topical and what challenges society faced during the period in question: I. Buivydaitė focuses on love/family experiences, E. Malūkas writes about illicit life and sects, E. Kalėda focuses on criminal groups, and J. Ivanauskaitė focuses on the image of women and the journey of spirituality. The descriptive themes are analysed in the article, comparing to what extent the plot reflects the environment and to what extent it is a complete fiction.

Methodological approaches to currency risks at the macro level
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University, Yatsenko Valeriia
Published: June 2024

A comprehensive investigation of the exchange rate as one of the critical indicators of macroeconomics has remained relevant since the introduction of the Jamaican monetary system. Moreover, the topic is even more important for small open economies and their financial sustainability. Logically, currency risks are of similar importance. However, their analysis, assessment, and management are complicated tasks. The reason is the dual nature of the exchange rate since it can generate autonomous shocks and act as an independent factor on other economic categories, such as inflation, interest rate, balance of payments, or export earnings. On the contrary, it can be a function of the same indicators but indirectly or with a time lag. Thus, an error or deviation from the direct object of study at any risk management stage - identification, analysis, evaluation, or management - can cause the actor's financial or economic losses. In particular, a study of the inflationary currency risk requires instruments of fundamental analysis for its assessment. In contrast, it is possible to use both fundamental and technical analysis tools for the exchange rate risk, depending on the objective. As a result, it is necessary to find a careful step-by-step consideration, or in other words, a way of organizing the study of currency risks. In this article, we have proposed a way based on the integration of the approach of Easterby-Smith et al. (2018) and the conceptual modeling of Guizzardi (2005). According to the proposed logic and structure, the correctness of choosing the appropriate way of quantifying risks depending on the preliminary theoretical analysis is demonstrated. The approach is suitable for the study of other economic phenomena or processes.

In technologically altered habitats, an increased content of organic compounds, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur compounds, antibiotic substances, etc. is found. Therefore, microorganisms that are systematically exposed to various stressors have developed adaptation mechanisms. The strain Ochrobactrum rhizosphaerae IMV B-7956, isolated from the infiltrate lakes of the Lviv solid waste landfill, is resistant to copper, chromium, manganese, and iron in concentrations exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations. The work aimed to study the response of O. rhizosphaerae IMV B-7956 cells to CuCl2 exposure by detecting changes in the content of lipid peroxidation products, products of the oxidative modification of proteins, activity of antioxidant defense system enzymes, and synthesis of extracellular polymers. Methods. To study the effect of CuCl2 on prooxidant indicators and the activity of enzymes of the antioxidant defense system, bacteria were pre-incubated in Tris-HCl buffer containing 2–10 mM CuCl2. After one hour of incubation, the bacterial cells were washed and cultured for 1, 12, 24, and 48 h in metal-free media. The copper content in the bacterial cells was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The content of lipid peroxidation indicators, carbonyl groups in proteins, total low-molecular-weight thiols, enzymatic activity, and the content of exopolysaccharides and extracellular proteins were determined photometrically. Results. Within an hour, O. rhizosphaerae IMV B-7956 bacteria accumulated 2.3–7.8 mg Cu/g of biomass. Under these conditions, an increased content of lipid peroxidation products was detected. During the first hour of growth in bacterial cells, enzymes with catalase and peroxidase activity were activated. During further cultivation, an increase in the activity of other antioxidant defense enzymes was detected. Carbonyl groups in proteins are probably formed due to an increase in the content of lipid peroxidation products, as they are formed later. Within 12–48 h of growth, the copper content in the bacterial cells decreases. This leads to the restoration of growth. Conclusions. The main damaging effect of CuCl2 on bacterial cells was detected during the first 24 h of growth. Activation of the enzymes of the antioxidant system and synthesis of exopolysaccharides are among the adaptations that ensure the survival of bacteria under these conditions.

Динаміка вікової структури кадрового потенціалу НАН України протягом 2021—2023 рр. викликає тривогу
Authors: Попович Олександр Сергійович , Міщук Олег Миколайович , Костриця Олена Петрівна
Published: June 2024

У статті наведено результати досліджень, які підтверджують негативні зміни вікової структури науковців Національної академії наук України, її секцій та відділень. Показано, що ці зміни фактично програмують вимирання кадрового потенціалу. Зокрема, констатовано, що щорічні втрати дослідників у більшості наукових колективів набагато перевищують їх молодіжне поповнення, що зумовлює наростаюче скорочення чисельності науковців Академії. Показано, що в переважній більшості відділень наростають втрати середнього покоління науковців. Отже, для забезпечення розвитку науки сьогодні недостатньо просто істотно збільшити залучення до наукової діяльності талановитої молоді, необхідно створити такі умови, щоб молоді дослідники, «подорослішавши» в наукових колективах, не покидали їх згодом. Крім належного фінансування, для цього потрібно змінити ставлення держави і суспільства до науки, досягти того, щоб на всіх рівнях суспільної свідомості закарбувалося розуміння: забезпечення післявоєнного відновлення країни на засадах науково-технологічного та інноваційного розвитку неможливе без розвитку науки.

Authors: Flores-Zarur Karla , Olvera-Lopez William
Published: June 2024

En este artículo exploramos un enfoque diferente para el modelado de una cadena de suministro desde la perspectiva de la teoría de juegos. En particular, explicamos una cadena de suministro de dos escalones y un solo canal bajo supuestos comunes a través de un juego de señales con la estructura clásica. Probamos que, en nuestro primer enfoque, existen varias maneras racionales de actuar que conducen a los agentes a equilibrios del juego, sin embargo, la mayoría de estas estrategias no implican necesariamente un comportamiento de cooperación entre los agentes. Posteriormente, proponemos algunas modificaciones a los supuestos originales que nos permiten obtener un equilibrio único que además garantiza la cooperación entre los agentes favoreciendo la calidad en el intercambio de información
Crecimiento multisectorial colombiano, 1975-2016
Authors: Sanchez Perez German , Sáenz-Castro Jorge E. , Higuera-Cárdenas Luz Aydée
Published: June 2024

Esta investigación aborda el crecimiento económico colombiano desde un enfoque de crecimiento multisectorial restringido por balanza de pagos, entre 1975-2016. Se concluye que la “ley de Thirlwall multisectorial” y la “ley de Thirlwall” son buenos predictores del crecimiento colombiano. Los sectores minero y agrícola aportan al crecimiento multisectorial del país, mientras la contribución del sector industrial es menor. Se muestra que en Colombia no ha habido un cambio estructural que impulse las exportaciones de los bienes con las mayores elasticidades ingreso y disminuya las importaciones con las más altas elasticidades ingreso, lo que ha limitado el crecimiento.

defesa de John Locke da teoria da substância na primeira ‘carta’ a Edward Stillingfleet
Authors: França Freitas Vinícius , Salgadinho Ferreira Carlota
Published: June 2024

O artigo discute a primeira ‘Carta’ de John Locke a Edward Stillingfleet e problematiza suas respostas às críticas direcionadas à sua teoria da substância. Apresenta-se (seção 1) o que parece ser, para Locke, o coração do ataque de Stillingfleet à sua doutrina da substância, a acusação de que os princípios do Ensaio ‘quase descartam a substância da parte razoável do mundo’. Problematizam-se ambas as respostas de Locke a essa objeção: (seção 2) sua negação de compromisso com o princípio de que o conhecimento dependeria da aquisição de ideias claras e distintas e (seção 3) sua negação de compromisso com uma forma de ceticismo ou uma forma de dogmatismo negativo em relação à existência das substâncias. Na sequência (seção 4), sublinha-se que Locke mantém, na ‘Carta’, a tensão entre uma explicação empírica e uma explicação racional para a ideia de substância enquanto suporte ou substrato. Por fim, (seção 5) discute-se as dificuldades dos comentários de Locke sobre o caráter relativo da ideia de substrato.

Published: June 2024

BaTiS3, a quasi-1D complex chalcogenide, has gathered considerable scientific and technological interest due to its giant optical anisotropy and electronic phase transitions. However, the synthesis of high-quality BaTiS3 crystals, particularly those featuring crystal sizes of millimeters or larger, remains a challenge. Here, we investigate the growth of BaTiS3 crystals utilizing a molten salt flux of either potassium iodide, or a mixture of barium chloride and barium iodide. The crystals obtained through this method exhibit a substantial increase in volume compared to those synthesized via the chemical vapor transport method, while preserving their intrinsic optical and electronic properties. Our flux growth method provides a promising route toward the production of high-quality, large-scale single crystals of BaTiS3, which will greatly facilitate advanced characterizations of BaTiS3 and its practical applications that require large crystal dimensions. Additionally, our approach offers an alternative synthetic route for other emerging complex chalcogenides.

Published: June 2024

Essential oil (EO) from leaves of Eucalyptus robusta was extracted by hydrodistillation, and analyzed the chemical composition using gas chromatography- Flame ionization detector (GC-FID), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Thirty constituents from leaf EO were identified accounting for 97.48% of the total composition of EO. Monoterpene hydrocarbons were the major chemical classes (83.34%) in which 1,8-cineole (29.23%), α-pinene (18.58%), α-phellandrene (14.05%) and β-pinene (6.40%) were the main components. The larvicidal activity test against Culex quinquefasciatus showed that the essential oil from the leaves of E. robusta strongly inhibited this southern house mosquito with LC50 values at 24 h and 48h to be 30.34 µg/mL and 28.77 µg/mL, respectively.

Published: June 2024

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in food digestion, enhances the host's immune system, and against pathogens. Numerous studies have been conducted on the microbiota of insects in general and honeybees in particular. However, studies have primarily focused on adult honeybees, with fewer studies dedicated to larvae. Despite being within the hive, honeybee larvae still possess their distinct microbiota. To gain a deeper understanding of the microbiota in the larvae of Apis mellifera honeybees, the larva from honeybee colonies collected in Ha Noi, Vietnam was investigated. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting the 16S rRNA gene was employed for microbiome analysis. Results revealed the presence of 5 phyla including Proteobacteria (70.43%), Actinobacteria (1.16%), Firmicutes (20.87%), Bacteroidetes (2.72%), and Chloroflexi (2%). Representative genera included Bombella (29.97%), Lactobacillus (14.91%), Gilliamella (9.59%), Frischella (4.69%), Snodgrassella (3.85%), and Marinobacter (1.21%). Further characterized species composition in the sample we identified the prevalence of Bifidobacterium intestini (29.96%), Gilliamella apicola (8.08%), Frischella perrara (4.55%), Lactobacillus kimbladii (2.85%), Lactobacillus plantarum (2.80%), Snodgrassella alvi (2.77%), Lactobacillus mellis (2.59%), Lactobacillus_uc (unclassified or not yet classified to species, 2.19%), Lactobacillus kunkeei (1.43%), and Lactobacillus melliventris (1.31%). Understanding these microbial dynamics is crucial for developing strategies to support honeybee health and mitigate the challenges posed by factors, such as pesticides, environmental pollution, and honeybee diseases.

Authors: Quach Ngoc-Tung , Vu Thi-Hanh Nguyen , Phi Quyet Tien , Nguyen Quang Huy
Published: June 2024

New antimicrobials are urgently needed to combat the threat of multidrug-resistant bacteria worldwide. Our study aimed to access the antimicrobial and cytotoxic profiles of endophytic actinomycetes associated with Cinnamomum cassia Presl taken from a mountainous region in the Northwest of Vietnam. The antimicrobial activity, capability for anthracycline-like compounds production and presence of secondary metabolite-biosynthetic genes were consequently determined. Finally, the cytotoxicity of antibiotic-producing actinomycetes was carried out towards various cancer cell lines. A total of 81 actinomycetes were recovered from different organs (roots, stems, leaves) of Cinnamomum cassia, of which 20/81 isolates exhibited antimicrobial activities against at least one of nine microbial strains. The analysis of 16S rRNA genes indicated that antibiotic-producing isolates were grouped into 4 genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Saccharothrix, and Microbacterium, among which Streptomyces was the most prevalent. The presence of biosynthetic genes pks-I, pks-II or nrps was detected in 17/20 of isolates. Five strains of Streptomyces griseorubens LCQ8, Streptomyces variabilis LCQ43, Streptomyces californicus LCQ44, Streptomyces fragilis LCQ75, and Streptomyces beijiangensis LCQ77 exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens with the MIC values ranging from 16 to 256 µg/mL. Furthermore, characterized strains showed considerable cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell lines with a 50% inhibition concentration of crude culture extracts of less than 30 µg/mL. The findings demonstrated that Streptomyces species isolated from Cinnamomum cassia in mountainous regions hold the potential for growth inhibition of human disease agents.

Published: June 2024

The Padina genus has 75 species of which 54 species are classification recognized. The Padina genus has been used as nutritional food that supplies vitamins, proteins, and carotenoids by humans for a long time. Recently, several drugs and dietary supplements containing active components extracted from Padina have been commercially developed. Species of the Padina genus are quietly morphologically similar. Almost all previous studies of the Padina genus used the morphological identification method. This study presents the results of correlation analysis between morphological characteristics and the rbcL marker in the identification of Padina seaweed samples collected at Hon Thom, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang province (HTO), Vietnam. The phylogenetic tree and genetic distance between HTO with references showed the samples belonging to Padina australis. Thus, identification methods based on genetic markers and morphology on HTO seaweed samples were consistent.

Technology as a Support for Proof and Argumentation: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Campbell Tye G. , Zelkowski Jeremy
Published: June 2024

Proof and argumentation are essential components of learning mathematics, and technology can mediate students’ abilities to learn. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical literature which examines technology as a support for proof and argumentation across all
content domains. The themes of this review are revealed through analyzing articles related to Geometry and mathematical content domains different from Geometry. Within the Geometry literature, five subthemes are discussed: (1) empirical and theoretical interplay in dynamic geometry environments
(DGEs), (2) justifying constructions using DGEs, (3) comparing technological and non-technological environments, (4) student processing in a DGE, and (5) intelligent tutor systems. Within the articles related to content different from Geometry, two subthemes are discussed: technological supports
for number systems/algebra and technological supports for calculus/real analysis. The technological supports for proof revealed in this review could aid future research and practice in developing new strategies to mediate students’ understandings of proof.

Authors: Demir Mustafa , Souldatos Ioannis
Published: June 2024

With the advent of information technology, various online homework systems have often been utilized to enhance students’ knowledge and skills. Several studies analyzed the effects of web-based homework systems on students’ learning through comparing them with paper-pencil
homework. However, few studies explored students’ homework completion behaviors (e.g., starting early or late to solve homework problems) in online homework settings. To fill the gap, this study examined students’ use of the WeBWorK, an online homework system, in three undergraduate
mathematics courses and the impact of their usage of the system on their final exam and overall homework grades. The findings revealed that students who made more attempts on solving homework problems displayed considerably higher performance on homework and final exam than their peers having
less attempts. Although students starting early to answer homework questions obtained higher homework scores than the late starters, they were unable to reflect their homework performance on the final exam.

Effect of climate change on agriculture and sustainability
Authors: Gupta Komal , Bhadauria S.S. , Puhup C.S.
Published: June 2024

Global climate change is a change in the long-term weather patterns that characterize the regions of the world. The term “weather” refers to the short-term (daily) changes in temperature, wind and precipitation of a region. Climate change is more than global warming. The rise in average temperature is only one indicator of broader changes also translating into extreme temperatures, drought, flooding, storms, rising sea levels, impacts on food production and infectious diseases. Although the scientific community has been aware of the link between greenhouse gases (GHGs) and climate change for many years, world leaders have been slow to react and implement measures to mitigate the risks. In the long run, the climatic change could affect agriculture in several ways such as quantity and quality of crops in terms of productivity, growth rates, photosynthesis and transpiration rates, moisture availability etc. It is directly impact food production across the globe. Increase in the mean seasonal temperature can reduce the duration of many crops and hence reduce the yield. Drivers of climate change through alterations in atmospheric composition can also influence food production directly by its impacts on plant physiology. The consequences of agriculture’s contribution to climate change, and of climate change’s negative impact on agriculture, are severe which is projected to have a great impact on food production and may threaten the food security and hence, require special agricultural measures to combat with.

The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical justification, develop and
introduce into university pedagogical practice a modular educational technology and the methods of «hieroglyphic identification», «ideographic comparison of morphotypes», methods of passive recognition and active prescribing used for its implementation to study the genesis of morphotypes of ideographic signs of the Japanese language, effective training future oriental specialists and orientalist teachers in ideographic writing. The article presents two submodules of the modular technology «Basic hieroglyphs». In the first submodule, «The history of the origin of Japanese language hieroglyphs, the morphogenesis of hieroglyphs and syllabic alphabet signs», a historiographic analysis is carried out, the historical and philosophical connections of ideograms and alphabet signs of the Japanese language with traditional and simplified Chinese characters, their evolution and involution are explored. Future specialists are trained to identify the similarities and differences in the morphology of modern Japanese and simplified Chinese hieroglyphic characters operating on the territory of mainland China, based on their characteristic features: type/shape, composition/structure, meaning, order of writing, etymological reference. The second submodule «Options for morphotypes of Japanese and Chinese ideographic writing characters» includes training in the differentiation of traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters, traditional Japanese characters, abbreviated Japanese
characters, comparative characteristics and classification of written characters of the Japanese language. The implementation of the educational modular technology «Basic Hieroglyphs» and its constituent submodules in the structure of the complex didactic goal of the subject «Hieroglyphs» provides an effective solution to pedagogical problems. The introduction of the proposed modular educational technology into university pedagogical practice has a positive effect on achieving the pedagogical goal and improves the quality of organizational and pedagogical conditions for training
future specialists in oriental studies and teachers of oriental studies at the university.

Este artigo científico investigou os fatores associados à retenção e à evasão no curso de Engenharia Elétrica da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), utilizando a abordagem da Educometria. A análise da estrutura curricular revelou uma complexa rede de pré-requisitos entre disciplinas, destacando a necessidade de construção de um Grafo para visualização mais clara dessa dependência. Os resultados apontaram que disciplinas pré-requisito do primeiro ano exercem impacto significativo na trajetória acadêmica, evidenciando-se uma distribuição desfavorável dessas disciplinas ao longo do curso. A pandemia de COVID-19 emergiu como um elemento disruptivo, alterando significativamente o padrão de progressão dos estudantes. A falta de pré-requisitos em disciplinas do 8º semestre foi identificada, sugerindo a possibilidade de redistribuição para aliviar a carga inicial dos alunos. Caminhos acadêmicos críticos foram delineados, destacando áreas de potencial retenção e evasão. As considerações finais enfatizaram a necessidade de assistência social, psicológica e pedagógica aos estudantes, especialmente os ingressantes. Em síntese, a pesquisa revelou nuances complexas na estrutura curricular do curso de Engenharia Elétrica da UFC, fornecendo ideias valiosas para gestores acadêmicos e delineando áreas de intervenção para aprimorar a progressão e diminuir a retenção dos estudantes ao longo do curso. O estudo sugere como trabalho futuro: investigações, incluindo a análise conjunta de matrizes e a exploração do impacto do ensino remoto e desigualdades de acesso à internet.

Published: June 2024

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases in the elderly worldwide. The primary lesion in patients with KOA is the degeneration of articular cartilage. This study aimed to observe the biological effects of cyclic negative pressure on C28/I2 chondrocytes and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. We designed a bi-directional intelligent micro-pressure control device for cyclic negative pressure intervention on C28/I2 chondrocytes. Chondrocyte vitality and proliferation were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. The extracellular matrix was analyzed using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot, while the molecular mechanism of the chondrocyte response to cyclic negative pressure was explored through mRNA sequencing. Experimental data demonstrated that cyclic negative pressure promoted chondrocyte proliferation and upregulated the expression of chondrocyte-specific protein, namely the collagen type II alpha 1 chain (COL2A1) protein, and the transcription factor SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9). Additionally, RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the gene levels of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) and early growth response 1 (EGR-1) were significantly elevated in the cyclic negative pressure group. This study demonstrates that cyclic negative pressure stimulates the proliferation of C28/I2 chondrocytes by promoting the expression of EGR-1 and IGF-2. This new discovery may provide novel insights into cartilage health and KOA prevention.
Национальные проекты в системе бюджетирования, ориентированного на результат: правовой аспект
Authors: Shevel'ko Dmitriy
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена ключевым вопросам правового регулирования национальных проектов в России с точки зрения методологии бюджетирования, ориентированного на результат (БОР). Россия прошла долгий путь в попытке внедрения программных документов, направленных на достижение и оценку результата при использовании средств федерального бюджета. Начинался данный процесс с федеральных целевых программ (ФЦП), которые сменились государственными программами. Параллельно происходило наслоение иными документами бюджетного планирования: приоритетными проектами и указами Президента России. Новым этапом развития системы БОР стало принятие национальных проектов и выстраивание всей системы планирования на их основе. Однако до настоящего времени на уровне государства не производился полноценный анализ причин неудач ФЦП и госпрограмм. Фактически изменяются названия документов, но не суть их содержания и методологии. В связи с этим важной составляющей анализа становятся нормы права, так как на их основании разрабатываются и утверждаются порядки разработки и реализации документов стратегического планирования. Именно в них кроется много причин и проблем неэффективности попыток реализации БОР. Предметом исследования выступает процесс разработки и реализации национальных проектов. Цель исследования состоит в формировании научно-теоретических положений: о системных недостатках в реализации БОР, об эффективности текущего правового регулирования нацпроектов, о создании единой методологии реализации документов стратегического планирования, необходимости системного анализа реализации таких документов. Автор использует диалектический и специальные юридические методы научного познания, в частности, методы толкования права, сравнительно-правовой и формально-юридический методы. Сделаны выводы о необходимости совершенствования законодательства в части уточнения порядка регулирования отдельных элементов национальных проектов. Сформулирована одна из основных причин неудачи реализации ФЦП и госпрограмм: неясная и чрезмерная методология их разработки, а также неясный характер правовых норм. Признано целесообразным продолжить выстраивание системы БОР во главе с национальными проектами.
Право на информационное самоопределение: на грани публичного и частного
Authors: Talapina Elvira
Published: June 2024

Право на информационное самоопределение как право человека самостоятельно решать, когда и в каких пределах его персональные данные могут быть раскрыты, сформулировано в немецкой юриспруденции и стало моделью как для многих государств, так и для общеевропейского законодательства в целом. Оно рассматривается в качестве необходимого инструмента поддержания живой демократии исходя из того, что частная жизнь является составной частью общества. Отправной точкой в судебном решении послужила кантовская теория моральной автономии личности. Это объясняет тесную связь судебной аргументации с правами человека и их публично-правовой охраной. Одновременно под англосаксонским влиянием развивается «имущественный подход» к персональным данным, которые могут стать объектом сделок. В рамках «имущественного подхода» персональные данные рассматриваются как ценный товар, который может быть объектом сделок и операций с другими лицами посредством лицензий. На практике в последнее время доступ к персональным данным все чаще разрешается в качестве встречного исполнения (возмещения) по контрактам на предоставление цифрового контента и в обмен на персонализированные услуги. Исследование показало, что в правовой защите данных существует множество переплетений публичного и частного (информационное самоопределение как субъективное публичное право требует оформления соответствующих обязанностей государства, однозначной отраслевой квалификации согласия лица на обработку данных нет, отмечается недостаточность принципа конфиденциальности по умолчанию перед потенциальной возможностью причинения вреда). Анализ эволюции правовой защиты данных приводит к выводу о постепенном нивелировании разделения права на публичное/частное. Похоже, проблему обращения и защиты персональных данных невозможно решить в отраслевых рамках, а только комплексно, не нарушая при этом традиционной логики публичного и частного. Это означает, что право на информационное самоопределение ввиду его комплексного характера можно расценивать как принцип, имеющий межотраслевой характер, который распространяется и на публично-правовую защиту данных, и на реализацию субъективного гражданского права в данной сфере.

Электронный список избирателей как новый элемент цифровизации избирательного процесса: правовые и организационные основы
Authors: Gadzhieva Al'bina
Published: June 2024

В статье исследованы предпосылки внедрения электронного списка избирателей, нормативное регулирование, порядок голосования с использованием такого списка избирателей, обеспечение избирательных прав участников избирательного процесса в ходе подготовки и проведения голосования, подсчета голосов и установления итогов голосования на избирательном участке. Проанализирован первый опыт применения электронного списка избирателей на выборах депутатов представительных органов местного самоуправления в Москве. Ведение единого списка избирателей в электронной форме позволило отказаться от применения на одних и тех же выборах двух списков избирателей — списка избирателей, голосующих традиционным способом на избирательном участке (в помещении или вне помещения для голосования), и списка избирателей, голосующих дистанционно. Существование двух различных списков избирателей на одних и тех же выборах вызывало существенные трудности как в работе избирательных комиссий, так и в реализации избирателями права на участие в голосовании. С внедрением электронного списка избирателей в Москве у ее жителей, обладающих активным избирательным правом на муниципальных выборах 2022 года, отпала необходимость заранее подавать заявление на участие в дистанционном электронном голосовании и тем самым принимать решение о способе голосования — очно, на участке, или дистанционно (электронно). Применение электронного списка избирателей исключило случаи необоснованного лишения избирателей активного избирательного права, которые возникали вследствие нормативной казуистики или технических ошибок. Применение электронного списка избирателей исключило возможность злоупотребления избирателями активным избирательным правом путем неоднократного голосования. В статье делается вывод, что в условиях цифровизации избирательного процесса электронный список избирателей является эффективным механизмом укрепления правовых и организационных гарантий реализации гражданами Российской Федерации активного избирательного права, содержатся предложения по дальнейшему совершенствованию избирательных процедур, в особенности связанных с электронным списком избирателей в свете развития информационного и цифрового общества.
