Authors: Zmievskii Dmitrii V.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this research is to study the current state of legal regulation to counter money laundering through the use of electronic payment instruments and on its basis to develop proposals for improving the relevant legal mechanisms. Materials and methods. To achieve the purpose of the study, the initial data were used: 1) regulatory legal acts adopted by state authorities of the Russian Federation; 2) materials of the latest judicial practice; 3) working materials of divisions of credit organizations engaged in anti-money laundering activities. The analysis and generalization of these materials made it possible to identify the actual problems in legal regulation of the institution in question in modern conditions and to develop proposals to overcome them. Study results. Current problems of improving the legal mechanisms for countering legalization (laundering) of funds and other property obtained as a result of criminal encroachments in the context of the use of electronic payment instruments are considered. The study found that creation of a legal mechanism regulating the digital assets market, as well as interpretation of regulations by judicial authorities, have a positive effect in the fight against legitimization of criminally acquired income. At the same time, the effectiveness of implementing such legislation in the field under consideration is associated with the need for careful studying the technological aspects of its application. The gradual introduction of the digital ruble will also make it necessary to improve legislation in the field of countering money laundering. The thesis is expressed that such improvement should be based directly on the characteristics of the digital ruble. Conclusions. When making amendments to the criminal legislation in order to exclude possible negative legal consequences of future law enforcement, it seems appropriate, if necessary, to use mechanisms of preliminary constitutional judicial control. The main directions of international cooperation in the field under consideration are: on the basis of regional rules creation of uniform international standards for countering money laundering, including uniform approaches to the criminal legal qualification of relevant acts, as well as formation of a legal and technical basis to implement operational information exchange between law enforcement agencies of various states on the facts of illegal using electronic means of payment.

Authors: Dmitrieva Olga O. , Tumanova Maria M. , Shirokov Oleg N.
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the concept of a “memory space”. The relevance of the study is due to several aspects: 1) an innovative postmodern approach to the analysis of traditional problems in historical science is used; 2) shared memory is the central link in an identity formation in national societies and the basis for consolidation of the people, which implies the need to study the mechanisms necessary for its actualization.

The purpose of the study is a methodological analysis of one of the central concepts in the memorial direction in modern historical science, “memory spaces / lieux de memoire” as a special mechanism to form the historical memory of a society.

Materials and methods. The research materials are based on the experience of scientific analysis of memory spaces as a special mechanism for perpetuating the history in the descendants’ public consciousness. The methodological basis of the research is a set of general scientific and special historical methods, as well as the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency.

Study results. Memory spaces represent a unique socio-cultural phenomenon, which is studied by scientists from various fields of humanities within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach. The founder of research in this direction is P. Nora, who first introduced the concept of “lieux de memoire” into scientific circulation in the early 80s of the XX century. To date, no generally accepted terminology has been developed in understanding the nature and essence of the concept “memory spaces”. In this article, they are interpreted as the most important mechanism for preserving the historical memory of a society, used both at the state and public levels.

Conclusions. Generalization of foreign experience in the analysis of the phenomenon of “lieux de memoire”, as well as the study of their forms and classification will make it possible in the future to use the obtained material applicable to the most important task of preserving and updating memory spaces of national and regional significance. The analysis of scientific concepts about the nature and the essence of “memory spaces” gives us the opportunity to conclude that they can be any objects of general historical and cultural heritage that preserve the memory about important historical events, provided that they are purposefully given elements of sacralization and a special ritual of veneration.
THE ORIGINS OF THE ETHNOCULTURAL DIVERSITY OF THE MORDOVIAN REGION
Authors: Minakova Albina I.
Published: July 2023

The topic of polyethnicity is at its peak of relevance today, since the vast majority of Russian territories are characterized by a multinational population. Polyethnicity of the Russian Federation is determined in the interaction of ethnic communities. One of the most striking examples of a multiethnic subject of the Russian Federation is the Republic of Mordovia. Mordovia is a prosperous ethnopolitical region of Russia, where peoples live “in peace and harmony”.

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive examination of the prerequisites for the appearance of representatives belonging to various nationalities in the Mordovian Region, as well as factors that influenced polyethnicity formation in the region as part of the territories that later became part of the Republic of Mordovia.

Materials and methods. When writing the scientific publication, scientific and research literature was used, with the help of which it was possible to establish the historical prerequisites for polyethnicity of the Mordovian region. Thanks to the use of the regional studies method, a historical and ethnographic analysis was carried out, which gave the opportunity to identify historical aspects that influenced the formation of the region in line with ethnic diversity.

Study results. The polyethnicity in the region began to take shape with the beginning of constructing recorded observation lines from the end of the XVI – the first half of the XVII century, as it follows from historical sources, where it was possible to meet foreigners among the service people. In the Mordovian Region in the specified period, the names of settlements indicate the multinational nature of the peoples living there, for example, the Lithuanians lived in the village of Litva in Krasnoslobodsky district, or another example of a settlement with a foreign population is the village of Lopatino with the Ukrainians located in Lyambirsky district.

Conclusions. In historical retrospect, polyethnicity of Mordovia developed over a long period and was accompanied by historical events taking place both in Russia and around the world. The official origins of polyethnicity formation can be attributed to 1897, when a population census was conducted for the first time, according to the results of which people of various nationalities lived in the territories included in the Mordovian Region. By 2010 Mordovia was formed as a multiethnic subject of Russia, which is clearly demonstrated by the official statistical population censuses.

Post ERCP pancreatitis, also known as post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis, is a potentially serious complication that can occur after this endoscopic procedure. It is characterized by acute inflammation of the pancreas, triggered by the manipulation and trauma induced during ERCP. This clinical condition manifests with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating and fever. It varies in severity and may be associated with significant complications, such as pancreatic pseudocysts, abscesses, systemic infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, bile duct and pancreatic duct obstruction, as well as the possibility of pancreatic necrosis. Management involves a multidisciplinary approach, including supportive measures, analgesic therapy and, in severe cases, hospitalization and additional procedures such as percutaneous drainage or surgery. To prevent this complication, precautions are recommended during ERCP, such as the use of aseptic techniques, careful handling of endoscopic instruments and prophylactic use of medications. In conclusion, post-ERCP pancreatitis requires early diagnosis, an appropriate therapeutic approach and close surveillance to avoid adverse consequences and promote patient recovery.

The prevalence of intestinal protozoa among primary school-aged children in five communities in Yenagoa Metropolis, Bayelsa State was investigated. Faecal samples were collected from 300 presumably healthy primary school-aged children from the five selected communities within Yenagoa Metropolis. Laboratory analysis was carried out on the faecal samples using zinc sulphate floatation method and formol-ether concentration technique. Demographic data of age, sex and nature of school attended (public or private), were recorded at the point of sample collection. Out of the 300 children investigated, 61 (20.3%) were positive for one type of intestinal protozoa or the other. Etegwe Community recorded the highest prevalence (30%), followed by Okutukutu (25%), Agudama (18.3%), Opolo (16.7%) while Azikoro Community recorded the least prevalence (11.7%). Among the intestinal protozoa identified, Entamoeba histolytica recorded the highest prevalence (57.4%), followed by Giardia lamblia (24.6%), Entamoeba coli (13.1%) and Toxoplasma gondii (4.9%). The age range prevalence for intestinal protozoa recorded 24%, 22.4%, 22% and 10% for 13-15 years, 10-12years, 7-9 years and 4-6years respectively. More male children (23.6%) were infected compared to the females (17.5%). The laboratory analysis further revealed that prevalence was more among children that attend public school (24.7%) than those in private schools (14.6%).

At independence in 1964, Zambia inherited a dualistic economy characterized by foreign-owned industries, with the copper industry dominating and rural small-scale peasants, most of whom migrated to the urban areas in search of formal employment. From 1968, the Zambian government took over majority control (‘zambianisation’ or nationalisation) in some of the foreign-owned industries, but the rate of employment was not sufficient to absorb the rapidly expanding urban population resulting in a lot of people remaining unemployed. A decline in international copper prices in the early 2000’s brought a recession to the Zambian economy resulting in the failure of the nationalised industries thereby ousting more people out of formal employment. Lack of employment and the call for diversification away from copper mining required most Zambians to find alternative means of survival, hence the establishment of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). A reduction in naturally occurring water bodies brought about by climate change have hampered fishing, however, the country has other favourable conditions such as good soil formation, availability of borehole water and an ideal climate which can support aquaculture. The Zambian government has been supportive of the development of aquaculture MSMEs and the said government efforts are the focus of this article.

Korean Pop is a part of the Korean Wave, namely in the music industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the attitude of nationalism towards Pancasila that is developing among young people, especially Pontianak K-Popers and to analyze the shift in attitudes and moral ethics of young people in the K-Popers community due to the influence of foreign cultures such as K-Pop culture. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The number of informants was 16 people from various K-Popers communities in Pontianak with an age range of 17-22 years. The results of the study show that the Pontianak K-Popers community remains nationalist, even though it has lost its local identity by retaining its citizenship status as an Indonesian citizen and continuing to defend the Indonesian state if someone insults and demeans the dignity of the Indonesian nation. K-Popers also continue to apply Pancasila values ​​in their lives, but there are several attitudes that are contrary to Pancasila values. For this reason, Indonesian people must be able to filter foreign cultures that enter Indonesia by racing on Pancasila values.

The content of betel leaf (Piper betle) includes essential oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, and steroids. Flavonoid compounds in P. betle show a mechanism of action in damaging bacterial cell proteins and disrupting irreparable membranes. On the other hand, mint leaves (Mentha piperita) contain essential oil ranging from 1-2%, with menthol content around 80-90%, as well as mentone, d-piperitone, hexanol phenyl acetate, ethyl amyl carbinol, and neomenthol. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of P. betle extract and M. piperita extract in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) bacteria using the well diffusion method. Extraction of P. betle and M. piperita extracts were performed using the maceration method. The extraction results showed a yield of 24.94% for the P. betle extract and 35.39% for the M. piperita extract. The antibacterial testing against S. mutans showed an inhibition zone of 21.83 ± 1.58 mm for the single P. betle extract (ML), 11.2 ± 1.00 mm for the M. piperita (GBL), and 11.76 ± 0.57 mm for the combination extract (GBL/ML). There is an influence of the combination of P. betle and M. piperita extracts on the antibacterial effectiveness against S. mutans, although the inhibition zone of the P. betle is larger, measuring 21.83 ± 1.58 mm.

Purpose: The major goal was to investigate effect of profitability, leverage, and efficiency on financial distress in Kenya's State Corporations in the commercial and manufacturing sector. The study also attempted to determine  moderating effect of size on relationship between profitability, leverage, efficiency, and financial distress in Kenyan Commercial and Manufacturing Corporations.

Methodology: Positivist philosophy and explanatory non-experimental research approach were used in this investigation. The study's population consisted of 25 State Corporations in Kenya in Commercial and manufacturing category. For the purposes of this study, a census of all 25 Commercial and Manufacturing Corporations was employed in study. Secondary data from audited accounts of state corporations for period 2015-2020 was used in analysis. Binary logistic regression was used in analysis. Diagnostics tests included multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, likelihood ratio and autocorrelation tests. STATA statistical software was used to analyse data. Findings were presented using tables.

Findings: The research outcomes indicated that profitability had significant effect on financial distress of commercial and manufacturing state corporations. Results also indicated that leverage had insignificant effect on financial distress. Efficiency also had significant effect on financial distress. The study adopted the product term interaction model approach in testing moderating effect of firm size on relationship between profitability, leverage and efficiency on financial distress. There was evidence showing that firm size significantly moderated the relationship between efficiency and financial distress in commercial and manufacturing state corporations in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study relied on Agency, Stewardship, Efficiency, Pecking-order and Trade-off theories.The results indicated that profitability and efficiency variables are useful to management, those charged with governance and users of financial statement information in detection and mitigation of financial distress. The management and users of financial statements information should pay attention particularly to profitability and efficiency ratios. Findings are also useful to the government by providing an insight of distressed firms so that the exchequer can know and make prudence decision on the distressed state corporations that require financial bailouts. Lastly, this study adds a contribution to the limited literatures on financial distress in commercial and manufacturing state corporations in Kenya.

Purpose: Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a public health problem that is more prevalent in developing countries than in developed countries. Hand hygiene is a prime preventive measure for HAIs. This study assessed barriers and enablers to hand hygiene among health care workers (HCWs) in a developing country at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. HCWs providing care to patients admitted on the selected wards were recruited. Data were collected by trained RAs from participants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria using a semi-structured questionnaire.

Findings: The majority (73.4%) of the participants reported lack of hand hygiene protocols on the ward. The barriers and enablers were elicited using a Likert scale.  The enablers to hand hygiene were water being visibly clean (M = 3.5, SD = 0.7) and availability of running water on the ward (M = 3.4, SD = 0.8). Barriers to hand hygiene identified were: lack of audits on hand hygiene compliance on the wards (M = 1.7, SD = 0.9), posters illustrating hand hygiene techniques are not displayed on the wards (M = 2.1, SD = 1.0) and alcohol hand rubs are not routinely distributed (M = 2.1, SD = 0.9).

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Donabedian model is a validated model used in quality improvement in health care. There is need to include training for health care workers in hand hygiene, ensure availability of hand hygiene protocols, and include mechanisms for monitoring to improve hand hygiene.
Mengali Ibadah Bangsa Israel: Menyadari Kekurangan, Menyelaraskan Keadilan, dan Kebenaran dalam Amos 5:21-24
Authors: Tungary Emanuel Filip , Primawan Bernardus Dirga
Published: July 2023

Ibadah dalam tradisi agama Israel merupakan bagian integral dari kehidupan mereka. Namun, perlu disadari bahwa ibadah yang dilakukan oleh bangsa Israel pada masa itu belum sempurna. Ibadah yang sempurna tidak hanya sekadar praktik keagamaan semata, melainkan melibatkan penerapan nilai-nilai keutamaan, terutama keadilan dan kebenaran yang sedang diderita oleh masyarakat miskin pada zaman itu. Pernyataan Amos menimbulkan dua makna terkait menegakkan keadilan bagi rakyat miskin atau keadilan yang ditegakkan bagi bangsa Israel. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai ibadah bangsa Israel, menyoroti kekurangan dalam pelaksanaannya, serta menemukan cara untuk menyelaraskan nilai-nilai keadilan dan kebenaran dalam ibadah tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur dengan mengkaji teks-teks dan konteks sejarah dalam kitab-kitab Amos di Alkitab. Penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa ibadah bangsa Israel pada masa itu cenderung mengabaikan nilai-nilai keadilan dan kebenaran yang sedang diderita oleh masyarakat miskin. Praktik ibadah yang hanya bersifat formalitas tidak mencerminkan penerapan nilai-nilai keutamaan yang seharusnya menjadi bagian integral dari ibadah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk menyelaraskan nilai-nilai keadilan dan kebenaran dalam praktik ibadah bangsa Israel.

This study aims to describe the Implementation of the Social Welfare Integrated Data Program (DTKS) through the Next Generation Social Welfare Information System (SIKS NG) in Huntu Village, Batudaa District, Gorontalo Regency. The research method uses a qualitative approach by collecting data through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that of the four indicators, there are three indicators that are considered optimal, namely communication, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Meanwhile, one other indicator, namely the resource indicator, is considered not optimal, which can be seen from the use of the Social Welfare System-Next Generation (SIKS-NG) application, which often experiences interruptions or errors when inputting data and the unstable network system in the Huntu rural area, especially in the Office Hunter Village.
