The Aadversarial Nature of the Criminal Procedure: Problematic Aspects
Authors:   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (MGIMO-University), Grinenko Aleksandr V. , Chistilina Daria O. ,   2Southwest State University
Published: June 2022

The relevance of the research is due to the existing contradictions between the theoretical model of adversarial nature and the practice of its implementation in the criminal procedure of Russia. The legislative regulation of this principle does not allow us to say that it is effective in the course of practical activity. The purpose of the research is to consider the operation of the principle of adversarial nature at various stages of the criminal procedure, as well as the theoretical concepts of its strengthening in the criminal procedure. The objectives of the research: to conduct a retrospective research of the implementation of the principle of competition in the criminal procedure of Russia, to consider various approaches to the definition of competition, to analyze proposals for strengthening competition in the criminal procedure of Russia. Methodology. Methodological basis of research is a general scientific dialectical method as a method of scientific knowledge; a systematic approach to the problem, historical method, formal-logical method, etc. Results. The strengths and weaknesses of the adversarial criminal procedure were identified, the possibility of introducing a lawyer's investigation, reviving the institute of investigative judges, creating a special court apparatus to ensure the independence of judges was considered. Conclusion. The existing criminal procedure system has long been formed in the conditions of authoritarian state power, which has left its mark on the operation of the principle of competition in the criminal procedure of Russia. Its manifestation to a greater extent at the trial stage is due to the presence only at this stage of an independent subject in the form of a judge, who can provide equal opportunities for the prosecution and the defense to participate in the consideration of a criminal case. In addition, there is no conceptual contradiction to the principle of competition in the fact that the presiding judge can act actively because the law imposes on him responsibility for the justice of the sentence. At the pre-trial stages, there is no such independent body, although it is necessary for the objective establishment of all the circumstances of the incident.

Authors:   Southwest State University, Chebotareva Irina N. , Pashutina Olesya S. ,   Southwest State University
Published: June 2022

Relevance. The rejection of subjective law as a form of manifestation of dispositivity is a new category for the Russian criminal procedure doctrine, the study of which is impossible without a thorough understanding of the pre-requisites for its occurrence, taking into account specific historical conditions. The study of the evolution of the legislative regulation of the rejection of subjective law allows us to trace how many steps forward the Russian legislator has made on the way to providing participants in criminal proceedings with the opportunity to protect their rights and interests, what adjustments the current state of criminal proceedings requires. The purpose of the research is to gain knowledge about the stages of the origin of the phenomenon of rejection of subjective law, the creation of theoretical prerequisites for further research of its legal nature, forms and methods of implementation, the development of improving the mechanism of legal regulation. Objectives: based on the analysis of the provisions of the criminal procedure law of the Soviet and post-Soviet period, to investigate the process of the origin of the rejection of subjective law in the criminal process of Russia, to identify the impact of political and socio-economic transformations on its development. Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is the provisions of the general scientific dialectical method of cognition of the surrounding reality in its connection and interaction, the general scientific system approach. In the course of the work, formal legal and historical methods were used. Results. The criminal process of modern Russia, unlike the one that existed earlier, is built in accordance with the constitutional provision on the priority of individual rights. The phenomenon of rejection of subjective law occupies an important place in the system of guarantees for ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings. Conclusion. The fundamental transformations that took place in Russia at the end of the last century in political and public life naturally affected the entire legal system and, among other things, had a great impact on the sphere of criminal proceedings. Dispositivity has become one of the key legal ideas, and the rejection of subjective law, as a form of its manifestation, has taken its due place in the system of regulation of criminal procedural relations.
On the Question of the Possibility of Renouncing Subjective Rights as a Result of Misconduct
Authors:   Southwest State University, Pashutina Olesya S. , Revina Irina V. ,   Southwest State University
Published: June 2022

Relevance. The rejection of subjective law is a phenomenon little studied in modern criminal procedure doctrine, as a result of which the question of the forms of behavior of participants in criminal proceedings, which determine the possibility of its implementation, remains unresolved. The definition of behavioral boundaries has both theoretical and practical significance: it contributes both to the enrichment of criminal procedure science, ensuring the proper level of legal protection of the individual in the field of criminal procedure relations, and acts as one of the guarantors of proper law enforcement. The purpose of the study is to develop an author's approach to determining the possibility of renouncing the right through the unlawful behavior of a person who has fallen into the sphere of criminal proceedings and its legal consequences. Objectives: to study doctrinal sources and judicial practice in order to establish the possibility of realizing the rejection of subjective law through both lawful and unlawful behavior; to identify the types of legal consequences of the rejection of subjective law, depending on the forms of behavior of a participant in criminal proceedings. Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is the provisions of the general scientific dialectical method of cognition of the surrounding reality in its connection and interaction, the general scientific systematic ap-proach. In the course of the work, formal legal, comparative methods and the method of observation were used. Results. The conclusion is formulated that the rejection of the subjective right is possible only in the form of lawful behavior. Based on the author's vision of the nature of the behavior of a participant in criminal proceedings, which may underlie the rejection of subjective law, the concept of "criminal procedural punishment" is developed, its characteristics are given. Conclusion. The waiver of the right is possible only on condition that the behavior of the participant in the criminal proceedings is lawful. Illegal behavior, expressed in the form of committing actions that violate the normal course of legal proceedings, naturally entails the reaction of the state in the form of depriving a citizen of his subjective right, which should be called "criminal procedural punishment".

Authors:   Southwest State University, Barkovskaya Ludmila E.
Published: June 2022

Relevance. However the current civil law doctrine and legislation based on it does not usually take into account the need for a special approach to the cases of realization and protection of rights on a collective basis. Currently the legislation of the Russian Federation defines the basis for the implementation of the so-called collective management of proprietary copyright and related rights, but the activity of organizations, which should carry out such management, is assumed to be aimed exclusively at collecting, distributing and paying remuneration without taking into account the need to solve the related problems of rights protection, accounting works and rights holders, helping them to formalize their rights. The purpose of the research is to develop theoretical provisions defining the features of the legal regulation of the activities of organizations engaged in the realization and protection of copyright and related rights, including on a collective basis. Objectives: to identify the features of the legal regulation of the activities of organizations engaged in the realization and protection of copyright and related rights; to identify the main problems associated with the implementation of statutory activities of such organizations; to identify areas for further development of the legal regulation of the issues under consideration. Methodology. The author used dialectical-materialistic method, systematic method, methods of analysis and synthesis, formal-legal method.

The Concept and Characteristics of Family Entrepreneurship
Authors:   Southwest State University, Ponomarev Dmitrii A.
Published: June 2022

Relevance. The current lack of a holistic scientific understanding of family entrepreneurship as a special legal phenomenon is due to the lack of scientific research on this topic, the lack of consistency in their implementation. The lack of coherent doctrinal approaches, in turn, leads to the fact that legislative regulation on issues related to family entrepreneurship is developing in a non-systematic way, within the framework of individual legislative acts, without taking into account the specifics of existing problems and gaps in legal regulation. The science of civil law reveals a number of inconsistencies between the approaches to the regulation of entre-preneurial activity and the regulation of family legal relations. This necessitates the development of a holistic scientific understanding of family entrepreneurship as a special legal phenomenon. The purpose of the research is to develop theoretical provisions aimed at creating a holistic scientific under-standing of family entrepreneurship as a special legal phenomenon, taking into account the peculiarities of entrepre-neurial activity with the participation of family members, the need to protect the rights of participants of such activities and third parties. Objectives: to determine the totality of features of family entrepreneurship as a special legal phenomenon; to determine the features of the balance of interests in the conduct of business in the form of family business; to identify areas for further development of legal regulation of the issues under consideration. Methodology. In carrying out this study, the dialectical-materialistic method, the systematic method, methods of analysis and synthesis, the formal-legal method were applied. The results of the research are of a theoretical and applied nature and are aimed at improving the quality of legal regulation of civil legal relations. The conclusions made in the article are of debatable character, are aimed at continuing research in the framework of the declared subject, at developing basic principles that allow to solve problems related to family entre-preneurship in a uniform way. The article is a continuation of the author's research on the topic under consideration.

Relationship Quality and Health Among Black Same-Sex Male Couples: Protocol for a Symbolic Netnography Study
Authors: Lassiter Jonathan Mathias , Dacus Jagadīśa-devaśrī , Johnson Mallory O
Published: June 2022

Background

Across a range of studies, health scientists have found that being in a romantic relationship can have positive and negative influences on one’s health. A couple’s health outcomes are often influenced by relationship quality—or how they perceive the positive or negative character of their relationship. These findings have important implications for how scientists and interventionists may leverage romantic relationships facilitating good health among couples. However, in general, couples research has not included Black same-sex male couples in large enough numbers to make previous studies’ findings relevant to them. This represents a gap in the scientific literature and, more importantly, a missed opportunity to understand how romantic relationships influence health for a group that must navigate distinct, multilevel health and social inequities.

Objective

This study aims to (1) decode and understand the ways in which Black same-sex male couples express their romantic relationships in virtual contexts via symbolic indicators, (2) determine how Black same-sex male couples describe the quality of their romantic relationships, and (3) explore how Black same-sex male couples make meaning of their relationship quality and its impact on their relational and individual health.

Methods

We will use joint dyadic interviews embedded within a symbolic netnography research design to accomplish our aims. We will use grounded theory to analyze our qualitative data. We will then triangulate our findings to determine how well they answer our research questions.

Results

This study received ethical approval on October 8, 2020 and we began data collection in November 2020. Results are expected to be available no later than December 31, 2022.

Conclusions

This study will apply novel symbolic netnographic qualitative methods to further our understanding of Black same-sex male couples’ romantic relationships and how they contribute to their health. The findings will be used to develop programs to improve Black same-sex male couples’ health in community and virtual settings.

Impact of the Moderating Effect of National Culture on Adoption Intention in Wearable Health Care Devices: Meta-analysis
Authors: Zhang Zhenming , Xia Enjun , Huang Jieping
Published: June 2022

Background

Wearable health care devices have not yet been commercialized on a large scale. Additionally, people in different countries have different utilization rates. Therefore, more in-depth studies on the moderating effect of national culture on adoption intention in wearable health care devices are necessary.

Objective

This study aims to explore the summary results of the relationships between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use with adoption intention in wearable health care devices and the impact of the moderating effect of national culture on these two relationships.

Methods

We searched for studies published before September 2021 in the Web of Science, EBSCO, Engineering Village, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, IEEE Xplore, and Wiley Online Library databases. CMA (version 2.0, Biostat Inc) software was used to perform the meta-analysis. We conducted publication bias and heterogeneity tests on the data. The random-effects model was used to estimate the main effect size, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted. A meta-regression analysis was used to test the moderating effect of national culture.

Results

This meta-analysis included 20 publications with a total of 6128 participants. Perceived usefulness (r=0.612, P<.001) and perceived ease of use (r=0.462, P<.001) positively affect adoption intention. The relationship between perceived usefulness and adoption intention is positively moderated by individualism/collectivism (β=.003, P<.001), masculinity/femininity (β=.008, P<.001) and indulgence/restraint (β=.005, P<.001), and negatively moderated by uncertainty avoidance (β=-.005, P<.001). The relationship between perceived ease of use and adoption intention is positively moderated by individualism/collectivism (β=.003, P<.001), masculinity/femininity (β=.006, P<.001) and indulgence/restraint (β=.009, P<.001), and negatively moderated by uncertainty avoidance (β=-.004, P<.001).

Conclusions

This meta-analysis provided comprehensive evidence on the positive relationship between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use with adoption intention and the moderating effect of national culture on these two relationships. Regarding the moderating effect, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a greater impact on adoption intention for people in individualistic, masculine, low uncertainty avoidance, and indulgence cultures, respectively.
Personality, Attitudes, and Behaviors Predicting Perceived Benefit in Online Support Groups for Caregivers: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Milios Athena , Xiong Ting , McEwan Karen , McGrath Patrick
Published: June 2022

Background

Online support groups (OSGs) are distance-delivered, easily accessible health interventions offering emotional, informational, and experience-based support and companionship or network support for caregivers managing chronic mental and physical health conditions.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the relative contribution of extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, positive attitudes toward OSGs on social networking sites, and typical past OSG use patterns in predicting perceived OSG benefit in an OSG for parents and caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Methods

A mixed methods, longitudinal design was used to collect data from 81 parents across Canada. Attitudes toward OSGs and typical OSG use patterns were assessed using the author-developed Attitudes Toward OSGs subscale (eg, “Online support groups are a place to get and give emotional support”) and Past Behaviors in OSGs subscale (eg, “How often would you typically comment on posts?”) administered at baseline—before OSG membership. The personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism were assessed at baseline using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Perceived OSG benefit was assessed using the author-developed Perceived OSG Benefit scale (eg, “Overall, did you feel supported by other members in this group?”), administered 2 months after the initiation of OSG membership.

Results

A hierarchical regression analysis found that extraversion was the only variable that significantly predicted perceived OSG benefit (R2=0.125; P<.001).

Conclusions

The key suggestions for improving future OSGs were facilitating more in-depth, customized, and interactive content in OSGs.
Exploring Public Perceptions of Dental Care Affordability in the United States: Mixed Method Analysis via Twitter
Authors: Yashpal Shahen , Raghunath Ananditha , Gencerliler Nihan , Burns Lorel E
Published: June 2022

Background

Dental care expenses are reported to present higher financial barriers than any other type of health care service in the United States. Social media platforms such as Twitter have become a source of public health communication and surveillance. Previous studies have demonstrated the usefulness of Twitter in exploring public opinion on aspects of dental care. To date, no studies have leveraged Twitter to examine public sentiments regarding dental care affordability in the United States.

Objective

The aim of this study is to understand public perceptions of dental care affordability in the United States on the social media site, Twitter.

Methods

Tweets posted between September 1, 2017, and September 30, 2021, were collected using the Snscrape application. Query terms were selected a priori to represent dentistry and financial aspects associated with dental treatment. Data were analyzed qualitatively using both deductive and inductive approaches. In total, 8% (440/5500) of all included tweets were coded to identify prominent themes and subthemes. The entire sample of included tweets were then independently coded into thematic categories. Quantitative data analyses included geographic distribution of tweets by state, volume analysis of tweets over time, and distribution of tweets by content theme.

Results

A final sample of 5314 tweets were included in the study. Thematic analysis identified the following prominent themes: (1) general sentiments (1614 tweets, 30.4%); (2) delaying or forgoing dental care (1190 tweets, 22.4%); (3) payment strategies (1019 tweets, 19.2%); (4) insurance (767 tweets, 14.4%); and (5) policy statements (724 tweets, 13.6%). Geographic distributions of the tweets established California, Texas, Florida, and New York as the states with the most tweets. Qualitative analysis revealed barriers faced by individuals to accessing dental care, strategies taken to cope with dental pain, and public perceptions on aspects of dental care policy. The volume and thematic trends of the tweets corresponded to relevant societal events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and debates on health care policy resulting from the election of President Joseph R. Biden.

Conclusions

The findings illustrate the real-time sentiment of social media users toward the cost of dental treatment and suggest shortcomings in funding that may be representative of greater systemic failures in the provision of dental care. Thus, this study provides insights for policy makers and dental professionals who strive to increase access to dental care.

This study aims to test the efficacy of daily meditation delivered via Calm compared with a health education podcast control group in improving the primary outcome of self-reported sleep disturbance, as well as secondary sleep outcomes, including sleep impairment and sleep efficiency; test the efficacy of daily meditation delivered via Calm compared with a health education podcast control group on inflammatory markers, fatigue, and emotional distress; and explore free-living use during a 12-week follow-up period and the sustained effects of Calm in patients with chronic hematological cancer.

Methods

In a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, we will recruit 276 patients with chronic hematological cancer to an 8-week app-based wellness intervention—the active, daily, app-based meditation intervention or the health education podcast app control group, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. Participants will be asked to use their assigned app for at least 10 minutes per day during the 8-week intervention period; complete web-based surveys assessing self-reported sleep disturbance, fatigue, and emotional distress at baseline, 8 weeks, and 20 weeks; complete sleep diaries and wear an actigraphy device during the 8-week intervention period and at 20 weeks; and complete blood draws to assess inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and C-reactive protein) at baseline, 8 weeks, and 20 weeks.

Results

This project was funded by the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (R01CA262041). The projects began in April 2022, and study recruitment is scheduled to begin in October 2022, with a total project duration of 5 years. We anticipate that we will be able to achieve our enrollment goal of 276 patients with chronic hematological cancers within the allotted project time frame.

Conclusions

This research will contribute to broader public health efforts by providing researchers and clinicians with an evidence-based commercial product to improve sleep in the long term in an underserved and understudied cancer population with a high incidence of sleep disturbance.

Costs, Benefits, and Motivations for ISO 14001 Adoption in China and around the World
Authors: Raines Susan Summers , Rong Tan , Fei Xu
Published: June 2022

In an attempt to overcome barriers to trade posed by numerous and: often contradictory national-level environmetral requirements, the international Organization Tor Standardization (ISO) has created a voluntary set of uniform envirnmental management system guidelines for firms, formally known as ISO 14001. Firms may decide 10 implement an ISO environmental management system (EMS) and become third-party certified in order to improve their environmental management and to increase their marketability. This study examines the relative costs, benefits, and motivations for ISO certification for China compared to other economically developing and developed countries. These comparisons allow to better understand the ways in which the unique economic and potilical conditions within China affect the incentives for Chinese firms to join in vuluntary self-regulatory measures. Survey results indicate that ISO 14001 cerlified firms in China are experiencing benefits equal to or greater than their peers in other countries. Benefits to environmental management appear to be significant and they generally outweigh (he costs of implementation and certification. However, as with most voluntary, the potential for abuse remains. Therefore regulators and policy makers are advised not to grant regulatory relief or inspections except on a case-by-case basis.

Chinese Public Policy Innovation and the Diffusion of Innovations: An Initial Exploration
Authors: Foster Kenneth W.
Published: June 2022

In a rapidly changing country such as China, how to promote public Policy innovation is an especially critical issue. Understanding how and when innovation occurs, and how and when innovations spread to other jurisdictions, is vitally important if the goal of spurring greater innovation is to be achieved. This article examines one particularly interesting case of policy innovation in China, the development of the “Service Promise System” in the city of Yantai. The analysis of this Case will provide the basis for a more theoretical discussion that combines insights from the Western literature on the topic with the specific characteristics of the Chinese administrative system. One of the key aims is to sketch out an agenda for future research.
Monitoring the Growth of Chinese Public Administration Knowledge: Evidence from Chinese Public Administration Journals
Authors: Lu Lucia Q. , Chow King W.
Published: June 2022

Empirical research involving content analysis of Chinese journal articles has been conducted in the last few years, but the focus has been on the issues and problems of Chinese public administration as a basic social science rather than an applied field. This narrow focus can be misleading. The need to reassess the quality of Chinese PA research is based on three presumptions: that it is a basic science, an applied science, and both. This study attempts to complete the monitoring of progress in knowledge advancement by assessing quality based on an analysis framework that includes an assessment of applied research reports published in Chinese PA journals. The population of articles analyzed comprises 1,123 papers published in Chinese Public Administration (CPA) from 2002 to 2006; further, 300 articles published in 16 journals from 1998 to 2006 were analyzed in the pilot study (but not included here). Specific findings are presented here, in addition to the two principal conclusions: Theory-building and knowledge advancement in Chinese PA have been rather problematic, but many studies reported in CPA, when classified as applied research, are valuable, in spite of the defects and shortcomings identified. This article also discusses implications for future research and the development of Chinese PA as a field of study.
Empowered Autonomy: The Politics of Community Governance Innovations in Shanghai
Authors: Liu Chunrong
Published: June 2022

This paper examines the nature, process, and implication of recent community governance reforms in Shanghai with a focus on the potential role of these institutional innovations in generating social solidarity as heralded by social capital and civil society theories. Case analysis demonstrates that the practice of democratic governance creates institutional space and organizational resources for informal, public, and day-to-day engagement among residents. The elected residents’ committee system has become an extraordinary source of community sociability and solidarity. This is summarized and explained by the notion of “empowered autonomy,” in which state-led governance reforms stimulate and thicken horizontal networks and norms of reciprocity within a society.
Citizen-Participation Performance Evaluation for Local Governments in Mainland China the State of Practice, Analytical Framework and Research Agenda
Authors: Jiannan WU , Xiaoping Gao
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, a great volume of citizen-participation (C-P for short) activities serving the purpose of performance evaluation have been initiated. Among these innovative activities, both the positive and negative comments on the significances have come out. While the criticisms were elicited from distinct points of view, the current study tried to provide a synthesizing description in order to further understand C-P evaluation. Through a case representing how in practice a typical C-P evaluation was implemented, traits were spotted to form an analytical framework that was considered helpful in identifying the key issues. Finally, based on the findings in the framework, an agenda against the further research on C-P evaluation was discussed.
Discussion of a Utilization-Driven Approach for Performance-Informed Budgeting in China
Authors: Lu Yi
Published: June 2022

The diffusion of performance budgeting into China asks the question: how may China approach this task? This research examines the experience of performance budgeting in the United States, and explores the desirability of a utilization-driven approach to implement performance budgeting in China. This article argues that, given what we have known from experiences in other countries, a utilization driven approach, an approach that means to design a performance measurement system that clearly identifies the users of information and the intended uses, holds the promise in China's unique historical, political and cultural environment.
