This article considers the concept of investigative action and search process, the essence of operational and investigative action, the opinions of scientists who conducted research on this subject, ensuring the priority of criminal procedural norms at the stage of referral to court, the criteria by which investigative actions can be distinguished from criminal procedural actions, the place of search and investigative action in the system of other investigative actions. The definition of the search and investigative action is not expressed in the legal documents, and there are some inaccuracies in the correct understanding of the content of this investigative action in investigative practice and its correct application, such incidents occur in cases where in judicial and investigative practice the search should be performed. Differences in the conduct of such investigative actions as inspection, seizure, examination of evidence at the scene of the incident, or testimony are specified in the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Operative-Investigative Activity”: “Inspection of residential and other places, buildings, structures, land, technical and vehicles” and “Detained persons, their belongings and documents, as well as their vehicles may be inspected in the manner prescribed by law”. Investigative actions, common and different from the procedure provided by Chapter XXI of the Code of Administrative Responsibility, which defines administrative detention, inspection of things and vehicles, confiscation of things and documents, are justified.

The Anglo-Saxon System of Common Law and the Development of the Legal System in Indonesia

Indonesia’s legal system is dynamically developing. Courts and constitutional judges often make legal discoveries to fill in the absence of law or to update existing laws. They do so to suit the most current needs. This condition should be an anomaly in Indonesia’s existing legal system as it applies to the civil law legal system. This research aims to track the roots of Indonesia’s legal system and to discover its development. Indonesia generally applied the civil law system. The practice where judges find and form laws in court is a convergence of the Common Law justice system. This system influences the legal system in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesian laws and regulations also adopted several legal concepts that are commonly found in the Anglo-Saxon legal system or the Common Law, such as Class Action, Citizen Lawsuits, and other concepts.

Strengthening the Theoretical Perspective on Action in Routines Research With the Analytical Philosophy of Agency

This conceptual paper presents the analytical theory of agency (ATA), an overlooked philosophical approach to the concept of action, to develop its theoretical basis in routines research in which the constructs of action and agency play crucial roles. It expounds, in the framework of ATA, the ideas of the spectrum of intentionality, kinds of action, and collective agency, which help advance the rigor of action-theoretical concepts in routines research as well as reveal the rationale of the microfoundational approach to routine actions. To uncover the developmental potential of ATA, the article discusses the most crucial conceptual challenges for routines research; it also briefly examines the limitations and future work related to using ATA in the management field.

The report of the 7th National Scientific Conference Poland's national security. Threats and determinants of changes. Challenges for state security in the era of 21st century threats,Gorzw Wielkopolski, April 21 22, 2022

On April 21-22, 2022, at the Academy of Jakub from Parady in Gorzw Wielkopolski, the seventh edition of the nationwide scientific conference was entitled Poland's national security. Threats and determinants of change. This year's theme were challenges for state security in the era of 21st century threats. Contemporary challenges and threats in the field of security require scientific reflection, exchange of views, construction of improved concepts of action and proper forecasting and anticipation of changes taking place in the security environment, which should help rationalize and improve the effectiveness of actions taken by the state.

Convolved action principles for couple stress elastodynamics

A novel set of variational principles and integral theorems is developed for consistent couple stress elastodynamics, including the principle of virtual convolved action, the principle of stationary convolved action, the theorem of dynamic reciprocity and the integral representation theorem. Both time-domain and Laplace-domain versions are presented. Most notably, all of these are based on the concept of convolved action, involving temporal convolutions, and are applicable to the most general case of bi-anisotropic couple stress materials. Furthermore, the principle of virtual convolved action extends beyond elastodynamics to viscoelastic and plastic material response. In addition, the two-dimensional infinite space fundamental solutions and kernel functions are derived in the Laplace-domain and used to formulate a new boundary element method (BEM) for transient response, which also originates from a convolved action. The resulting BEM is applied to four prototype examples to demonstrate the validity and robustness of the method, and to explore interesting behavior of consistent couple stress elastodynamics in the isotropic case. Although the focus here is solely on couple stress elastodynamics, the convolved action framework extends to a broad range of time-dependent problems, including those of a multiphysical nature.

Social movement activists’ conceptions of political action and counter-accounting through a critical dialogic accounting and accountability lens

In the face of growing disaffection with neoliberalism and corporate social and environmental accounting, critical accounting recognizes the potential of counter-accounting to open spaces for democratic contestation and to advance progressive change. Critical dialogic accounting and accountability (CDAA), for example, views counter-accounting as providing social movements with opportunities to challenge neoliberal hegemony, to mobilize multiple publics and to construct new social realities. However, the democratizing potential of counter-accounting is contested within academia, and social movements’ views of counter-accounting as a politicizing practice are not well understood. We extend CDAA theorizing by elaborating on the value of counter-accounting in advancing democratic struggles against neoliberalism and illustrating how an agonistic lens can be useful in framing social movements' actions in these struggles. Social movements' conceptualizations of political action and counter-accounting are empirically investigated through interviews with 25 social movement activists. Based on the interviews and our CDAA lens, we propose possible areas for critical accounting collaborations with social movements as they seek to effect progressive change.

The concept of strategic management national security

Analytical description of the community, national strategic management of national security as the basis for the formation of state security with a reflection of the collective actions of diplomacy, administration, and general knowledge management. An attempt to create a package and goals in the context of a comprehensive strategy as a concept of concrete state action to promote social and civic science is typical in the cause-and-effect relationship of the system as a security tool. Accumulated knowledge related primarily to modern views on the philosophical and methodological foundations of ensuring national security is presented and systematized. In particular, the principles of the scientific study of security as a social phenomenon are considered. The article is devoted to systemic aspects of the foundations of national security. The main concepts and categories of national security are considered national interests, threats and challenges to national security, the structure of national values of Ukraine, and their relationship with national interests and goals. The concept and design of the national security system, conceptual approaches to its provision, as well as the system of federal security provision, are considered in detail (in particular, such issues as identification and comprehensive assessment of the level of threats to national security, conceptual principles for assessing the state's defense adequacy, determining the agenda for state authorities, adequate to threats to vital national interests). Several other principles are considered issues, the solution of which depends on the effectiveness of state management decisions on ensuring national security. Among them the information model of the mechanism of state-management decision-making in the process of ensuring national security, the basis of the coordination mechanism interests of man and society, theoretical foundations, and practical aspects of the organization of strategic management in the field of national security. Keywords: national security, state security, management strategy, and planning

Collective Action in Institutional Entrepreneurship: The Case of a Government Agency

This paper seeks to analyze how and why divergent institutional changes occurred in a government agency. While there is evidence of research on the concept of collective action and involvement in the literature on institutional entrepreneurship, the focus has been at the macro and field levels, with scarce attention being given to the topic at the micro and organizational levels. This study addresses this gap in the literature, drawing on the institutional entrepreneurship process model of Battilana, Leca, and Boxenbaum (The Academy of Management Annals), in combination with literature on collective action. The methodology involved a longitudinal case study, in which data were collected through extensive interviews and documentation analysis. Based on findings showing that the divergence change process could not be achieved without the support of organizational collective involvement, a refined version of the Battilana et al. entrepreneurial model is proposed.

The Coordination of Environmental Protection and Female Discrimination Based on the Concept of Affirmative Action.

With the development of society, the chemical industry is expanding, and the hazy weather everywhere is becoming increasingly frequent, already affecting people's lives and causing them to pay more attention to environmental issues. Therefore, this paper highlights the role of women in environmental protection by studying the coordination of environmental protection and female discrimination based on the concept of affirmative action. Through this study and a survey, we found that China has not yet realized that women's participation in environmental protection plays a key role in improving the quality of our environment and the development of ecological civilization. However, we should clearly understand that environmental issues are not only personal, they are related to the survival and development of a country, and as a member of that country, both women and men should have the right and obligation to protect the environment. Therefore, this article discusses the concept and meaning of affirmative action and gender discrimination in the context of research on these concepts, discussing the problems and phenomena that women encounter in environmental protection. These include the system of women's environmental protection, gender issues for women in society, and the unequal treatment from the Government based on some studies. Through the study and analysis of the system of women's environmental protection, the role and position of women in this regard is summarized. Finally, it is suggested that, for the construction and development of ecological civilization in China, it is necessary to fully integrate ecological civilization into all aspects of society and pay attention to environmental protection issues. Therefore, we should pay attention to the role of women in environmental protection, provide corresponding policies, and actively encourage women to partake in environmental protection in order to build an environmentally friendly and resource-saving society together.

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Scheduler on Parallel Dedicated Machine Scheduling Problem towards Minimizing Total Tardiness

This study considers a parallel dedicated machine scheduling problem towards minimizing the total tardiness of allocated jobs on machines. In addition, this problem comes under the category of NP-hard. Unlike classical parallel machine scheduling, a job is processed by only one of the dedicated machines according to its job type defined in advance, and a machine is able to process at most one job at a time. To obtain a high-quality schedule in terms of total tardiness for the considered scheduling problem, we suggest a machine scheduler based on double deep Q-learning. In the training phase, the considered scheduling problem is redesigned to fit into the reinforcement learning framework and suggest the concepts of state, action, and reward to understand the occurrences of setup, tardiness, and the statuses of allocated job types. The proposed scheduler, repeatedly finds better Q-values towards minimizing tardiness of allocated jobs by updating the weights in a neural network. Then, the scheduling performances of the proposed scheduler are evaluated by comparing it with the conventional ones. The results show that the proposed scheduler outperforms the conventional ones. In particular, for two datasets presenting extra-large scheduling problems, our model performs better compared to existing genetic algorithm by 12.32% and 29.69%.

Peculiarities of legal regulation of mine action in the country (based on modern international experience)

The problem of demining territories is very painful and relevant for all mankind, and especially for those countries that were in a state of armed confrontation or military conflict, because all civilians and soldiers, children and adults suffer from the unauthorized explosion of an explosive object. The purpose of the article is to conduct a well-founded and meaningful research in accordance with the specified topic, namely, regarding the activities of the countries of the world regarding the effective clearance of territories from explosive objects. During the scientific research and writing of the article, comparative, terminological, system-structural, statistical, dialectical, logical special and general scientific methods of scientific knowledge were used. In particular, the results of mine countermeasures of different countries of the world were specified using a comparative method; the system-structural method determines the sequence of presentation of the material from general information to more specific information; the statistical method was used for the analysis of actual data regarding the calculations of the features of mine action in various countries of the world in relation to Ukraine. The article proposes ways to implement mine countermeasures in Ukraine, taking into account world experience and features of the state's readiness for demining. The definition of the concept of mine action has been formulated. It was established that all mine action activities must be regulated in accordance with international legal acts. An analysis of the financial costs of mine action was carried out. It has been determined that it is necessary to conduct negotiations with specialized foreign organizations that would help organize the work on cleaning the territory of the state from explosive objects. The information presented in the article should be useful for scientists and practitioners studying the problems of mine action

EXAMINE THE DISMEMBERED CORPSE AND THE LOCATION (S) OF THE CORPSE

It's critical to perform a preliminary inquiry if a dismembered body is discovered. The first stage of a murder inquiry is primarily concerned with determining whether the murder was premeditated or unintentional. The first situation does not necessitate the use of a different research technique; however, the second situation does necessitate the use of a separate investigation methodology in this regard. The initial stage of the murder investigation requires the implementation of preliminary investigative actions and operational-search measures. In this case, the concept of initial investigative actions is a forensic concept, while urgent investigative actions are both forensic and criminal-procedural concepts. These two concepts - initial and urgent - can be both proportional and incompatible [1, p. 16]. Article 14 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 25, 2012 "On operational search activities" provides for 16 types of operational search activities.

The Learning Needs of Art and Design Students in Chinese Vocational Colleges for Entrepreneurship Education: From the Perspectives of Theory of Entrepreneurial Thought and Action

Entrepreneurship education in Chinese colleges and universities began in the early 21st century. After more than 20 years of development, it has reached an unprecedented scale. At present, there are many studies on entrepreneurship education for undergraduates in Chinese colleges and universities, but only a few general studies on entrepreneurship education in higher vocational education. Particularly, the analysis of the status quo of students’ entrepreneurship education and the research on the improvement of entrepreneurship education has not yet been widely discussed. This research adopted the semi-structured interview method and used purposive sampling to select 8 students with entrepreneurial willingness in lower grades and 8 in upper grades of higher vocational art and design in the Guangzhou area, as well as 8 students who have succeeded in entrepreneurship after graduation, giving a total of 24 students. The interview was designed based on the concept of Entrepreneurial Thought and Action (ET&A) entrepreneurship education. The interview outline was derived from the three aspects of learning, action, and creation. After the interviews were conducted, coding and qualitative analysis were performed to identify the knowledge and skills required by art students in higher vocational colleges to establish a business, and the problems encountered by successful students in entrepreneurship that might be encountered in the future. Based on the conclusions, the method and content of entrepreneurship education in schools could be improved. In addition, the research results showed that to fulfill the aim of entrepreneurship, art and design students in higher vocational colleges need to learn knowledge and skills such as entrepreneurial courses, professional knowledge, and entrepreneurial skills (competition, training, simulation, practice, etc.). Meanwhile, students who had succeeded in entrepreneurship believed that it was necessary to improve the entrepreneurship education curriculum system, pay attention to entrepreneurship practice teaching, and strengthen the linkage between home, school, and enterprise to promote entrepreneurship learning, thereby enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship ability.

Valued tactics: Men's reframing of participation in football-based weight management programmes as a working utopia of collective action

For men living with obesity who want to lose weight, the femininity associated with practicing weight loss strategies often acts as a constraint when trying to integrate themselves within the social environment of conventional weight management programmes (WMPs). Although, increasingly popular sport focused men-only WMPs seem to have a favourable impact on sustaining men's engagement. Drawing on interviews with 14 men currently involved in football-based WMPs, we argue that a spirit of collective action spontaneously developed within this innovative weight management space of doing physical activity together, sparked by shared grievances of feeling emasculated when previously attending female-dominated commercial WMPs. This collective spirit surpassed weight loss as men's priority for attending the programme. To do justice to the bespoke social support constructed and relished by the men, we utilise the collective action concepts of tactics, frames and working utopias. This study may inspire more sociologically driven investigations of social support within health service contexts and the experiences of those subject to health-related stigma.

Spatial Identification, Prevention and Control of Epidemics in High-Rise Residential Areas Based on Wind Environments

The wind environment in residential areas can exert a direct or indirect influence on the spread of epidemics, with some scholars paying particular attention to the epidemic prevention and control of residential areas from the perspective of wind environments. As a result, it is urgent to re-examine the epidemic prevention response of residential spaces. Taking high-rise residential areas in Xi’an as an example, the article defines the air flow field area based on on-site wind environment measurements, crowd behavior annotation, and CFD simulation. Using the double-effect superposition of crowd behavior and risk space, the paper undertook a multiple identification strategy of epidemic prevention space. The identification methods and management and control strategies of epidemic prevention in high-rise residential areas are proposed. Additionally, the living environment of residential areas is optimized, and a healthy residential space is created. The transformation from concept and calls for action to space implementation is made to provide a reference for improving the space management and control capabilities in high-rise residential areas in China. The results of this study can be used as a guideline for future residential planning and design from the perspective of preventing airborne diseases.

Stability, Analytic Stability for Real Reductive Lie Groups

We presented a systematic treatment of a Hilbert criterion for stability theory for an action of a real reductive group G on a real submanifold X of a Kähler manifold Z. More precisely, we suppose that the action of a compact Lie group U with Lie algebra $${\mathfrak {u}}$$ extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified group $$U^\mathbb {C}$$ and that the U-action on Z is Hamiltonian. If $$G\subset U^\mathbb {C}$$ is compatible, there is a corresponding gradient map $$\mu _{\mathfrak {p}} : X\rightarrow {\mathfrak {p}}$$ , where $${\mathfrak {g}}= {\mathfrak {k}}\oplus {\mathfrak {p}}$$ is a Cartan decomposition of the Lie algebra of G. The concept of energy complete action of G on X is introduced. For such actions, one can characterize stability, semistability and polystability of a point by a numerical criteria using a G-equivariant function called maximal weight. We also prove the classical Hilbert–Mumford criteria for semistability and polystability conditions.

Understanding the democratic promise of the city

Looking at current theoretical approaches to democracy and the city, this article deepens our understanding of the democratic relevance of cities. It suggests four ideals of the democratic city which are labelled the city as a school of democracy, the urban cosmopolis, the city as a commons and the sustainable city. Tracing commonalities between the ideals, while avoiding their pitfalls, the article develops an argument for understanding the democratic promise of the city by linking John Dewey’s concept of democratic action as experimental problem-solving to the spatiality of the city. Building on Dewey, the article introduces the concept of urban experimentalism and points out prospects for a spatialized understanding of democracy and pathways for democratizing urban space.

The System of Communicative Elements as the Basis of Modern Corporate Media (on the Newspaper «Dialog UEKHK» and «Znamya»)

The article raises an issue of professional ethics, highlights the communicative elements in the factory media on the example of the newspaper Dialogue UEIP of the joint stock company of the Ural Electrochemical Plant in Novouralsk and Znamya of the Ural Turbine Plant in Yekaterinburg. The purpose of the study was to develop a system of communicative elements aimed at shaping the corporate culture of enterprises. The theoretical basis for the study of the manifestation of labor relations of corporate media, covering the historical periods of the appearance of the corporate press, its types, functions, stages of development. The author of the article organized and presented six group of semantic concepts that support the rallying of the factory media teams aimed at increasing the prestige of working professions and shaping the image of enterprises. For each concept, cases are found in the factory media, illustrating the functions of the concepts in action.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ПОДХОДЫ К ДИАГНОСТИКЕ И ОКАЗАНИЮ ПОМОЩИ ПРИ ОСТРЫХ РАДИАЦИОННЫХ ПОРАЖЕНИЯХ В РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫХ ВОЕННЫХ КОНФЛИКТАХ

The special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has led to an increased possibility of using nuclear weapons. The use of nuclear weapons during the bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 led to severe injuries and death of thousands of people, burns, mechanical trauma. Ionizing radiation lesions were new and specific, causing significant difficulties in the diagnosis and management of this pathology. Since then, there have been a number of accidents at nuclear power plants, the largest of which were the accidents at the Chernobyl and the Fukushima. During this time, the concepts of acute and chronic radiation syndromes were introduced into medical practice, and methods for treating these diseases were developed. Today, in connection with the threat of the use of a “dirty bomb” in Ukraine, as well as with the increasing likelihood of using tactical nuclear weapons, there was a need to form certain skills and concepts of actions in case of injuries from ionizing radiation among doctors and paramedical personnel.
