Seeking support through solidarity: female leader’s experiences of workplace solidarity in male-dominated professions
Authors: Pillay-Naidoo Daphne , Vermeulen Corlette 
Published: June 2023

IntroductionWhile there is a plethora of research that documents the numerous barriers affecting female leaders in the modern workplace, there is a lack of literature which focuses on strategies or motivating resources that women use to navigate the workplace environment. Despite facing significant barriers in their leadership journeys, there are female leaders who are able to overcome these barriers to achieve leadership positions. These women leaders draw on personal and external motivating factors to assist them in dealing with the challenges associated with being a female leader as a result, research on motivating strategies for women’s career progression is a research topic that warrants immediate attention. Female solidarity as a motivating resource has been gaining traction in the field of leadership studies and can be seen as a supportive resource that can be used by current and aspiring female leaders to progress in underrepresented environments. Although female solidarity is but only one of the many strategies that can be implemented to motivate women in leadership positions, the increase of female solidarity in the workplace is expected to alleviate the conditions that reinforce essentialist notions of the “queen bee syndrome” in which women are seen as unsupportive of each other.MethodA qualitative research approach was used for this study, following an interpretive descriptive design. A total of 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with female leaders in male-dominated professions within South Africa. Data was analysed using thematic content analysis.ResultsResults of the study were analyzed in line with three primary content areas, i.e., barriers to female solidarity in the workplace, benefits of female solidarity in the workplace and workplace interventions to increase solidarity.DiscussionIn the context of the study the predominant barriers to female solidarity within male-dominated workplaces were identified as unfair workplace behaviours, generational beliefs, societal expectations, organisational cultures, stereotypes and stigmas. The benefits of female solidarity within male-dominated workplaces were identified as career shaping mentorship, female recognition, female representation and female support. Lastly, the interventions that can be implemented to increase female solidarity within male-dominated workplaces were conceptualised as networking, transforming the company culture, socialisation and mentorship.

AimOur aim was to investigate potential differences in mental health, self-rated health, risky sexual behaviour, alcohol use, and drug use between (1) Prospective exchange students and campus students separated by sex, and (2) male and female students as a group.MethodComparative cross-sectional design using an online survey containing the following instruments: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Sexual Behaviour in Young People in Sweden; Self-Rated Health Questionnaire; and General Health Questionnaire 12. One-hundred and fourteen prospective exchange students and 451 campus students participated in the study.ResultsMale prospective exchange students rated their mental health as being better and had used cannabis more often compared with female prospective exchange students. Male prospective exchange students also rated their mental health as being better than male campus students. Female students, in general, rated their mental health as worse than male students. A larger proportion of male prospective exchange students had sex together with alcohol compared with male campus students, and a larger proportion of female prospective exchange students had sex with a new partner and drank more alcohol compared to female campus students.ConclusionThe result shows that risky alcohol use and sexually risky behaviour is prominent amongst prospective exchange students. It is possible that they will continue, and even increase their risky behaviour whilst abroad as they find themselves in a new social context, and free from influence of the rules and restrictions that they might have at home. With limited knowledge of the local culture, native language, and in an unfamiliar environment, it is possible that the risks will be enhanced and possibly decrease their health. This highlights the need for proactive interventions, conceivably with some variations in content between sexes.

Published: June 2023

Objective: This study aims to investigate the connection between social capital and sleep duration among older adults in Ghana, as limited research has been conducted to explore this relationship.Methods: This study utilized Wave 2 data from a sample of Ghanaian older adults from the World Health Organization Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE). Self-reported data on social capital and sleep duration were compiled. Using ordered logistic regression, the relationship between social capital and sleep duration was examined.Results: Older adults who did not participate in social activities showed the strongest association with the risk of short sleep (p &lt; 0.05). Our study found that older adults who sleep for shorter periods tend to report better sleep quality. There was no correlation between medium and long sleep durations and social capital.Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of more research to truly understand the complex connections between older adults’ social participation, sleep, and health. It also has important implications for the promotion of good sleep in aging populations.

Problems of legal regulation of seeking applicatio for a Candidate of Sciences degree by adjuncture graduates
Authors: Bavsun Maksim , Mironkina Oksana 
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The issues of submitting materials to the dissertation council by adjuncture graduates are mostly in the so-called “gray” zone, that is, they are resolved in accordance with the already established practice, not being appropriately reflected in the normative legal framework. Unfortunately, the lack of the required regulation at any of its levels often leads either to the loss of promising future scientists, or to conflict between an applicant for a degree and an educational organization that trained future specialist. One of such issues is the maximum possible period during which a graduate can expect to receive an opinion from an educational (or scientific) organization on the basis of which his work was prepared. Currently, there is no answer either at the federal level or (very often) at the local level of legal regulation.In this regard, the latter is seen as the most promising way to solve the problem, which allows taking into account the specifics of various branches of science, as well as individual scientific specialties, and in some cases, perhaps, narrow areas of certain research.
Purpose: Search for ways to solve the problems of legal regulation of seeking application for a Candidate of Sciences degree by adjuncture graduates.
In the process of research, the following methods were used: formal logic, normative legal acts analysis, systemic, historical.
Results: We believe that the solution to this problem through its regulation at the level of an educational or scientific organization is quite capable of ensuring the “transparency” of the prospects for applicants for Scientific degrees, while saving them from false illusions that often entail the abuse of their right.

Authors: Gorelov Aleksandr , Vinogradov Igor' 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The relevance of the research subject is due to a significant increase of risks to life and health of police officers when performing operational and service tasks related to the rise of terrorist threat. The reason for that are the actions of armed Ukrainian formations in the zone of special military operation and terrorist acts committed by sabotage and espionage groups of the enemy on the territory of the Russian Federation. These facts make it necessary to find new, more effective practical technologies of education and training focused on forming as soon as possible the practical skills and abilities necessary for police officers to ensure personal safety when performing tasks in everyday activities and special conditions. This research deals with the issues of preparing students in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for acting in special conditions.
Research methods: to achieve the purpose, the following research methods were applied: 1) theoretical (modeling, analysis and synthesis); 2) empirical (observation, comparison, experiment).
Results of the research: On the basis of the research, the ways of solving the problems arising in preparing police officers for acting in special conditions have been identified. As a technology used to simulate situations of operational-service activity, the authors propose the use of operational-tactical game, the effectiveness of which was tested during the competition of professional skills «I am a police officer». The discipline «Ensuring the personal safety of police officers» is considered to be the most adequate for applying the mentioned technology.
Correlation between constitutional and statutory norms of federal and regional legislation, regulating the status of the subjects of the Russian Federation
Authors: Magomedov Arsen 
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the research of a number of actual problems connected with the implementation of normative provisions of parts 1 and 2 of article 66 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The aim of the research is to develop theoretical foundations and to form scientific ideas about the constitutional and statutory regulation of the status of the subjects of the Russian Federation as a developing institute of modern constitutional law, which is to be considered in the dynamics of its genesis and taking into account the retrospective aspect.
Research methods.In the process of research, the author successfully applied such methods as theoretical, general philosophical analysis (dialectics, systematic method, analysis, analogy, synthesis, observation and modelling). The legal methods (formal-logical), as well as sociological methods (statistical and expert evaluations) were taken as the basis for the author’s conclusions. The author pays special attention to the genesis of the essence and content of such concepts as «federal legislation» and «regional legislation». In order to assess the category of «federalism», the author uses the analysis specific to the assessment of cognitive and socio-economic characteristics of «federal relations», which, unfortunately, are often differentiated and sometimes even opposed.
Research results. The relevance of the author’s research theme is proved by the need to guarantee the autonomy of the subjects of the Russian Federation in determining their status through constitutional and statutory regulation of social relations, applied simultaneously with the institutions of exclusively federal sovereignty, prohibition of secession and the possibility of federal intervention in extraordinary circumstances. It creates a constitutional balance between centralisation and decentralisation in federal relations based on the concept of «cooperative federalism» that is perspective for modern Russia. The author’s opinion on the correlation between the norms of federal and regional legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation is substantiated and conclusions are drawn regarding the prospects for the development of the institution of federalism in Russia.
On the concept of «statement» as a type of appeal under administrative law
Authors: Mayakova Elizaveta 
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Successful implementation by a citizen of his constitutional right is possible only in case of the effective functioning of the existing mechanism for considering the relevant types of appeals and responding to them. The article considers the concept and essential features of the statement as type of appeals to public authorities. Their clarification is especially relevant for the internal affairs bodies,
since employees of the departments and services of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at all levels take part in the consideration and resolution of citizens’ appeals.
Methods. The analysis of the concept of “statement” as a legal term, the content of which is revealed in the norm enshrined in administrative legislation, is based on the methodological approach about the elements of the uniform legal regulation and the types of legal regulation derived from them, developed by V.D. Sorokin. This methodological approach made it possible to formulate the author’s definition of the term ”statement” as a type of appeal, to propose the author’s classification of its subspecies, to clarify their legal nature and content.
Results. All statements are divided into three subspecies: 1) aimed at the implementation of permissions, 2) associated with violation of prohibitions or failure to comply with instructions, or 3) due to poor-quality execution of instructions. The developed classification contributes to a deeper understanding of the typologies of statements, allows determining the most optimal procedure for their consideration and resolution, taking into account the requirements contained in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia regulations. Based on the theoretical heritage of V.D. Sorokin, the author’s definition of the theoretical construction of the term “statement” was developed on the basis of the elements of the uniform legal regulation in relation to the system of Internal Affairs bodies.

The constitutional right to freedom of conscience as an object of the criminal law’s protection
Authors: Nikitina Anna 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that, in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the state guarantees equality of human rights and freedoms regardless of attitude to religion. To this end, the State prohibits insulting beliefs related to the expression of religious preferences by a person, as well as agitation based on religious hatred or enmity, as well as the creation of public associations, including religious ones based on the principles of religious superiority or intolerance. The growing complexity of social relations, the increasing role of religion in the life of society requires the state to pay close attention to compliance with legislation in the field of the freedom of conscience.
The purpose of the study is to identify the features and problems of protecting the constitutional right to freedom of conscience through criminal law legislation.
The object is the public relations protected by criminal law norms that arise in the field of preventing crimes that infringe the freedom of conscience.
The subject of the study is the peculiarities of constitutional and criminal law protection and protection of the right to freedom of conscience.
Research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, classification.
Results. The author analyzes the current problems of criminal law legislation guaranteeing the implementation of the constitutional right to freedom of conscience. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law guarantees protecting freedom of conscience in Russia do not fully comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The study also proposed a definition of the concept of «crimes against freedom of conscience»; the author’s classification of types of crimes infringing the freedom of conscience is presented. It is concluded that the criminal law legislation in the area under study requires adjustment.
Images of the Body and Corporeality of Indigenous Australians at the Dawn of the 21st Century (Based on Bruce Chatwin’s Perspective and Selected Films)
Authors: Żmidziński Jakub 
Published: June 2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The research objective of this article is to examine what image of Indigenous Australians emerges from Bruce Chatwin’s well-known novel The Songlines (1987/2008) and selected films produced at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries also dealing with Australian Aboriginal culture.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The analysis of the literary and cinematic work will be carried out here from an anthropological and postcolonial perspective, and is also part of a broadly defined somapoetics.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: In the first part, the author focuses on the way female and male characters are portrayed. In the second part, he analyses more complex portraits, those of artists, hunters, ‘actors’ and strong personalities, before concluding with the theme of death.
RESEARCH RESULTS: When analysed, Chatwin’s novel appears to be a text with many omissions, presenting a selective image, marked by the author’s ethnocentrism and his insufficiently insightful approach to cultural differences. Earlier films also fail to portray these in a credible way. Later films, however, not only deepen the understanding of historical and contemporary conditions, but also give the floor to representatives of this oldest culture in the world.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The conclusions of the analysis of the material studied encourage a more critical reading of Chatwin’s novel. They also point to films depicting Indigenous Australians in a way that is free of postcolonial context, their different sensibilities and corporeality.
Mine or Alien? The Experience of Body and Corporeality in Sudden Vision Loss
Authors: Czerwińska Kornelia 
Published: June 2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The goal of the article is to describe the specific perceptions of corporeality of an adult who experiences sudden loss of vision. Special emphasis is put on the process of creating a new representation of one’s body.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The text focuses on the issues of deconstructing one’s self-image due to the change in experiencing one’s body, temporary incapability of performing daily activities, and problems with avoiding pain and discomfort. A literature search and analysis were conducted.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The main consequences of vision loss in adulthood are presented. A process of creating a new representation of one’s own body is described in reference to the concept of the stages of adjustment to vision loss.
RESEARCH RESULTS: When comparing the current appearance and functionality of their body to the situation from before vision loss, persons with acquired vision impairment have a sense of alienation of their body. Along with the loss of vision as a basic cognitive tool, they experience disintegration of their physical “self,” loss of confidence in their other senses, and overall bodily inadequacy. The negative approach to their own corporeality tends to be reinforced by reactions of other people.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The attitudes and emotions towards one’s body influence the dynamics of adjustment to vision loss, including the motivation of a blind person to actively participate in the rehabilitation process. Psychological rehabilitation should support a person who is losing vision in deconstructing the corporeal ‘self’ and reintegrating a new body image. The issue of the changing body image in the situation of sudden vision loss in adulthood has not been sufficiently researched. There is a need to undertake studies focused on this issue.
