Негосударственная система бесплатной юридической помощи в Российской Федерации: основные проблемы и перспективы

Purpose. Identification of problems that impede the progressive development of the legal education system in the Russian Federation, reflection of the role and importance of legal advice in the field of strengthening and developing practical skills. Identification of the degree of influence on the existing system of legal education in the Russian Federation of state policy in the field of regulation and formation of a system of free legal assistance. Methodology: dialectics, analysis and synthesis, formal legal, comparative legal, logical, method of interpreting legal norms, philosophical conceptology. Conclusions. Today, the development of the free legal aid system leads to the fact that in the absence of funding, many legal advice centers created at universities risk not being in demand. In modern conditions, many legal consultations created at universities may be abolished. In the future, the management of individual universities may relieve themselves of the obligation to provide legal consultations or relevant educational programs. The main reasons for abolition may also be the student’s lack of real opportunity to obtain practical skills in government bodies and the judicial system (impossibility of practical participation in judicial proceedings). Scientific and practical relevance. The article is aimed at identifying existing problems in the legal education system in the Russian Federation, which have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the education system in the field of development and strengthening the final level of practical qualifications of a graduate of a legal educational institution. In addition, the article substantiates the need to eliminate the identified problems.

Documents to procure gamma irradiation chamber and license for operation in blood center

Abstract: Graft-versus-host disease is a critical posttransplant complication, particularly affecting individuals with compromised immune systems. Patients undergoing bone marrow transplants, neonates receiving intrauterine transfusions, and those recipients of blood from first-degree relatives are vulnerable to this condition. The significance of efficient lymphocyte inactivation has driven the widespread adoption of Gamma Irradiation Chambers (GICs) utilizing radiation sources such as Cesium-137 (Cs-137) or Cobalt-60 (Co-60). However, the effective operation of these chambers is contingent on navigating a complex regulatory landscape (Cs-137 or Co-60 is commonly used as the source of gamma rays. The usual dose is 25 Gray [Gy] to 35 Gy [1 Gy = 100 rads], this dosage inactivates 85%–95% of lymphocytes in the blood components without any adverse effect on other cellular components of the blood). GIC unit mainly houses either Co-60 or Cs-137as radiation sources (model no BI-2000, BI-5000 mfr. by Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology with typical radioactivity ranging from tens to hundreds of terabecquerel. These units are also used in research institutions, hospitals, blood center, etc. A review of legal, regulatory, and policy aspects of the operation of GIC in India regarding its issues, challenges, and opportunities. We aimed to prepare a standard guidance document for GIC for a smooth process of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) licensing and equipment purchasing. The present article was written based on the experience of applying for GIC with AERB and recurrent support extended to colleagues in the fraternity. The documents prepared for licensing and various procedural steps involved in the same are included. Many documents and many days are required from procurement to the receipt of the license for operation GIC. At the same time, with very few user institutes and less number of experienced people in the country, it becomes difficult to find a proper method to approach the national government body. If blood center/radiological safety officer are properly trained as per the guidelines available, this can reduce man-days and facilitate the earliest operations.

History, Present Status and Prospect of Veterinary Education in Nepal

Nepal is an agricultural country. About 62 % of total population depends on agriculture for their livelihood and employment. Agriculture contributes about 33% of national GDP and 25 % of which is contributed by livestock sector. In order to get maximum benefits from livestock sector, good management practices and health care aspect are the crucial parts which could be achieved by quality veterinary services from veterinary professionals and veterinarian. There are only 4 educational institutions in Nepal which offer veterinary education specially B V Sc and A H course. They enroll 196 students per year. Till March 2024, there is 1982 NVC registered veterinarian in Nepal out of which nearly 25 % are living abroad. NVC is the authorized statutory body of Nepal government which formulates quality standard of veterinary educational establishment, licensing of veterinarians and impose code of conduct of veterinarians for veterinary services. There is increasing scope of veterinary services in Nepal but existing number of veterinarians is very low compared to total livestock heads and pet population. Small number of veterinarians has difficult to provide quality services personally to the farm animals and pets. So, all educational institutions and other stakeholders should think about the production of adequate number of qualified veterinary graduates in order to fulfill the need of the nation.

Assessing the current status of food security under climate variability and the role of household-level adaption strategies near Ghibe III hydroelectric dam, Ethiopia

The food security problem is exacerbated by low production and crop loss in many parts of the world and Ethiopia in particular. Prior literature less documented the role of innovative adaptation strategies to climate variability in ensuring food security. This study investigated the current status of food security and the role of adaptation strategies in the context of climate unpredictability in the Ghibe III dam area, in Southern Ethiopia. To achieve the intended objective, data were collected from 175 adapters and 209 non-adapters through multi-stage sampling using a questionnaire supplemented with key informant interviews and focus group discussions. A probit regression model was used to determine the factors affecting farmers’ adaptation. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to evaluate the impact of the adaptation strategies on food security. Food security was measured by the food balance sheet model (HBSM)). The rainfall anomaly index and Mann–Kendall tests were employed for the analysis of rainfall and temperature. The findings showed that throughout 30 years, temperatures were rising while rainfall was falling. Receiving early warning weather systems, credit services, extension services, family size, and farm size had a significant impact on adaptation strategies at a 1% level. Adapters showed an increase in food security (7–9%) than non-adapters. Adapters consumed 2101.6 mean calories per day/adult equivalent compared to non-adapters who consumed 1151.5 kcal. Conservation agriculture and climate-resilient crop varieties should be implemented by farmers supported by local-level government bodies at large.

Formation of state policy in the field of public administration and effective control over officials and civil servants who conceal administrative offenses

It is indicated that a significant number of scientific works are devoted to the issue of defining the term, as well as the powers and characteristics of official and official persons. However, research in the field of public policy formation in the field of public administration and effective control over officials and civil servants who conceal administrative offenses is relevant and important for ensuring democracy, the rule of law, and citizens’ trust in government structures. Despite existing regulations and mechanisms that regulate the powers and responsibilities of officials, the problem of hiding administrative offenses remains a serious challenge. According to the principle of the rule of law, the state is obligated to ensure equality before the law and accountability for violations. In the modern world, issues of public administration and control over the activities of officials and civil servants are crucial for upholding the rule of law and fostering trust in governmental structures. The problem of concealing administrative offenses by officials has become pressing due to the expansion of their powers and responsibilities to society. This article undertakes a deep analysis of the legal definitions and legislative precision in defining the terms of officeholders and civil servants, their granted powers, and explores cases of concealing administrative offenses. Various aspects are examined in the article, specifically the delineation of powers vested in officials (civil servants) and the accountability of officials for their actions. The authors emphasize the necessity of establishing effective mechanisms for oversight and supervision to prevent impunity within governmental structures and ensure fair application of the law. All facets explored in the article aim to promote the development of legal culture, strengthen trust in governmental bodies, and ensure transparency and legality in society. The authors provide a detailed examination of the harm caused to the state and society by officials and civil servants through their actions of concealing administrative violations.

Institute of anti-corruption authorized state body of government and local government bodies: features of the legal regulation

The article analyzes the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Prevention of Corruption”, the Model Regulation “On the Authorized Unit (Person) on Prevention and Detection of Corruption” and other specialized legislation from the point of view of regulating the activities of the anti- corruption officer of state authorities and local self-government bodies. The complex of measures to prevent and detect corruption, which are entrusted to the authorized persons in the implementation of their activities in state bodies, local self-government bodies, state enterprises, institutions, and organizations, has been studied. It was established that the anti-corruption commissioner exercises control over compliance with anti-corruption legislation in the relevant body, its territorial (inter-regional) bodies and legal entities belonging to the sphere of management of the relevant body through cooperation with the management, employees and other authorized bodies (persons) in accordance with the current legislation. It was found that in the current legislation of Ukraine there are two institutions of anti-corruption commissioners, different in terms of legal regulation, but unified in terms of the purpose of their activity. Namely, the first institute provides for the formation (definition) of authorized divisions (authorized persons) on issues of prevention and detection of corruption, in particular, at enterprises, institutions and organizations belonging to the sphere of management of a state body and regulates its activities, and the second institute of anti-corruption officers , specifically for legal entities whose anti-corruption programs are approved in accordance with the Law. It is emphasized that the fulfillment of a number of tasks by the authorized person is related to direct interaction with the management of the state authority or local self-government body, including on the issues of conflict of interest settlement, whistleblower protection, bringing guilty persons to disciplinary responsibility for violating the requirements of anti-corruption legislation, informing about the facts of committing such violations, managing corruption risks.

The fiscal function of the customs authorities of Ukraine in the conditions of the legal regime of martial state: analysis of the problems in the context of the decisions of the higher government bodies

The article analyzes the problems of implementation of the fiscal function by Ukrainian customs authorities during the legal regime of martial law in the context of the decisions of higher state authorities. The significance of the fiscal function of the customs authorities of Ukraine for filling the revenue part of the State Budget of Ukraine in the pre-war period and after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian troops on the territory of Ukraine was researched. The approach to reforming the customs authorities of Ukraine based on the priority of the fiscal function is critically evaluated. The necessity of using modern trends in the organization and functioning of customs administrations in the developed countries of the world during reforms of the Ukrainian customs authorities is indicated, which primarily consist in changing approaches to understanding the activities of customs authorities of Ukraine not only as fiscal, but also as protective and regulatory. In the course of the analysis of the normative legal acts of the government and the parliament, adopted with the aim of stabilizing the situation in the economy of Ukraine after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, a number of shortcomings of the rule-making activities of these higher state authorities were revealed, which led to the failure of the state budget to receive significant amounts of customs payments. Based on the study of the norms of acts of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, changes to the relevant normative legal acts were proposed, which could improve the state of implementation of the fiscal function of the customs authorities of Ukraine in the first weeks after the introduction of martial law on the territory of Ukraine. It has been established the need to involve employees of specialized units of the State Customs Service of Ukraine in the development of normative legal acts that affect the implementation of the fiscal function by the customs authorities of Ukraine. It is indicated the basic directions of improvement of the regulatory and legal regulation of the activity of the customs in the implementation of their fiscal function.

Transforming the Effectiveness and Equity of a Psychological Therapy Service: A Case Study in the English NHS Talking Therapies Program

To work with a psychological therapies service to implement a recovery plan, as required by a government body, aimed at improving patient outcomes (effectiveness) and decreasing practitioner variability (equity). A case-study utilizing components of a learning health system, including nationally mandated patient outcome data, comprising three 18-month phases: (1) retrospective baseline; (2) improving patient outcomes (management-led); and (3) reducing practitioner variability (clinician-led). Primary analyses focused on 35 practitioners (NPR = 35) who were constant across the three phases and their patients in each phase (NPA = 930, 1226, 1217, respectively). Reliable improvement rates determined patient outcomes and multilevel modeling yielded practitioner effects. To test generalizability, results were compared to the whole practitioner sample for each phase: (1) NPR = 81, NPA = 1982; (2) NPR = 80, NPA = 2227; (3) NPR = 74, NPA = 2267. Ethical approval was granted by the Health Research Authority. Patient outcomes improved in successive phases for both the core and whole practitioner samples with the largest impact occurring in the management-led intervention. Practitioner variability decreased in successive phases in both the core and whole practitioner samples except in the management-led intervention of the whole sample. Compared with the management-led intervention, the practitioner-led intervention yielded a decrease in practitioner effect exceeding 60% in the core sample and approaching 50% in the whole sample. The implementation of multiple components of a learning health system can lead to improvements in both the effectiveness and equity of a psychological therapy service.

Confiscation of Property: Russian and Foreign Law Enforcement Experience

The paper examines the prospects for increasing the effectiveness of this measure. The study utilizes the data on the use of confiscation of property as another measure of criminal law in Russia, as well as foreign experience in the use of confiscation of property. The author notes the alarming fact that Article 104.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is applied in 60% of cases for crimes related to violation of the rules for handling narcotic drugs, psychotropic and potent substances; given the frequency of application of the measure under study, the absence of a significant desired effect is indicated. It is noted that the confiscation of property actually performs only a «protective» function and neglects the potential preventive component. There are several shortcomings pointed out in the paper. Article 104.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation specifies a closed list of crimes. The legislation restricts the possibility of confiscating property transferred by a convicted person to another person; it is only possible if the person knew that it was obtained as a result of criminal acts; the burden of proof of the illegality of the acquisition of property is placed on government bodies. The obstacles to the return of confiscation of property to the number of punishments are examined separately. These include the experience of using confiscation as another measure of a criminal legal nature that has developed over the past few years. Some more are the possibility of confiscating property for the benefit of the state in a civil-legal manner; the negative historical experience of using confiscation of property; the absence of clearly reliable and recognized data characterizing the preventive potential of confiscation as a punishment (especially in the context of the possibility of using confiscation of property as a punishment exclusively to the guilty person). Some attention is given to the issue of positive and negative features of the regulation of confiscation of property in sectoral legislation, as well as aspects of shifting the burden of proof of the legality of the acquisition of property.

The Governance of Traffic Noise Impacting Pedestrian Amenities in Melbourne Australia: A Critical Policy Review.

By identifying a unified aim of Federal, State, and Local government authorities to deliver healthier, more liveable urban spaces and enable walkable neighbourhoods in Melbourne, Australia, questions emerge regarding noise data collection methods and the policies that aim to protect pedestrian areas from potential increases in urban traffic noise. It highlights a missed opportunity to develop strategies that provide explicit guidance for designing more compact urban forms without diminishing pedestrian amenities. This study investigates the governance of traffic-induced noise pollution and its impact on pedestrian amenities in Melbourne, Australia. It aims to identify the government bodies best positioned to protect pedestrians from noise pollution and evaluate the strategic justification for reducing traffic noise to enhance urban walkability. This research employs a semi-systematic policy selection method and a hybrid critique and review method to evaluate the multidisciplinary governance frameworks engaged in the management and mitigation of traffic noise in Melbourne. Key findings reveal that while traffic noise poses significant health risks, current policies overlook its impact on pedestrian amenities in urban areas. This study emphasises the benefits of qualitative and subjective noise data collection to inform policy-makers of the pedestrian aural experience and impacts. Discussion points include noise management strategies and the value of implementing metropolitan-scale noise-mapping to illustrate the impact of noise rather than quantities of sound. The conclusions demonstrate that there is strategic justification for managing traffic-induced noise pollution to protect pedestrian areas within international, federal, and state government policies and implicit rationale at a local level.

College President Departure After No-Confidence Votes: An Event History Analysis

ABSTRACT Faculty-led no-confidence votes against college presidents have increased over the past decade. These votes often aim to create conditions that lead to the president’s departure. In this study, I used event history analysis to investigate the influence of faculty-led no-confidence votes on the tenure of college presidents. The analysis reveals that nearly 70% of presidents leave their positions within four semesters of a no-confidence vote. The study further explores the influence of various factors, including institutional and presidential characteristics, on the likelihood of presidential departure after no-confidence votes. The results indicate that student enrollment size is the only significant predictor, with smaller institutions more likely to experience leadership turnover following a vote. The study concludes that no-confidence votes are a powerful tool for facilitating presidential change across diverse institutional types. These findings have important implications for faculty governance bodies and boards of trustees, highlighting the need for strategic planning in response to such votes.

COVID-19 Pandemic and the Current Challenges of the Angolan Higher Education System

The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated an unprecedented shift towards distance and online learning (DOL) globally, including in Angola, where the transition has revealed numerous challenges and uncertainties, especially within higher education. This paper delves into the historical context of DOL in America, Europe, and Africa, highlighting the diverse experiences and lessons learned in these regions. The emphasis is on the necessity of a well-planned, strategic approach to DOL implementation, tailored to the unique context of each region. In Angola, the Ministry of Education has initiated discussions around DOL, but the transition has been fraught with issues such as inadequate digital infrastructure, limited internet access, and a lack of training and support for both educators and students. This paper argues for a phased implementation strategy for DOL in Angola, incorporating comprehensive market research, meticulous project planning, and clearly defined deliverables. It also stresses the critical importance of involving all stakeholders, including government bodies, educational institutions, and private sector partners, to ensure the sustainability and success of DOL initiatives. By addressing these challenges and adopting a structured, inclusive approach, Angola has the potential to develop a more resilient and effective online education system.

Decentralized Incident Reporting: Mobilizing Urban Communities with Blockchain

This paper introduces an innovative response to the pressing challenge of rapid and effective incident detection and management in urban settings. The proposed solution is a decentralized incident reporting system (IRS) harnessing blockchain technology and decentralized data storage systems. By empowering residents to report incidents, the proposed IRS enables seamless real-time monitoring and intervention by relevant departments. Built on a blockchain foundation, the proposed solution ensures immutability, transparency, security, and auditability, enhancing data resilience and comprehensive applicability. The proposed system leverages the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for the storage of incident proofs to manage the blockchain size effectively. Through the proposed IRS, transparency is upheld, enabling complete auditability of incident details and required interventions by citizens, societal bodies, and governmental bodies. Moreover, an incentive model is introduced to encourage active participation in incident reporting, thereby enhancing the system’s overall effectiveness and long-term sustainability. The proposed IRS integrates mobile technology to facilitate user engagement and data submission, essential for urban emergency management. Empirical validation using the Quorum–Raft blockchain demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed approach in terms of system throughput, incident reporting delay, blockchain size, and deployment cost. Specifically, the system maintains a latency of under 15 s even at high transaction rates, can handle up to 200 incidents per second, and is cost-effective, with deployment estimates for 16 organizations over five years being under 1.99 million USD. The method involves extensive testing with simulated incidents and user interactions to ensure robustness and scalability, showcasing the system’s potential for effective emergency management in urban environments.

Cross-country analysis of the effectiveness of commercialization of scientific research results

The objective of this research is to undertake a comparative analysis of methodologies for evaluating the efficacy of research commercialization across diverse nations, focusing particularly on the United States, Australia, Canada, South Korea, the European Union, and Kazakhstan. The study methodology involved a comparative analysis, commencing with an exhaustive examination of academic and practical resources to pinpoint key organizations involved in research commercialization within the specified countries. Subsequently, after the selection of countries and a systematic scrutiny of these organizations' activities, the methodology endorsed by the Alliance of Technology Transfer Professionals (ATTP) was employed to compare and assess commercialization efficiency across varied nations. Results of the study: the study outcomes unveiled common trends and effective assessment approaches, while also identifying deficiencies in Kazakhstan's commercialization evaluation system and offering recommendations for enhancement. The assessment of commercialization metrics in Kazakhstan is hindered by the paucity of comprehensive data, rendering comparisons with global benchmarks, including the ATTP methodology, challenging. However, concerted collaboration among governmental bodies, research institutions, and industrial stakeholders could surmount these hurdles and foster innovative entrepreneurship within the nation. The adoption of alternative research methodologies such as environmental functioning analysis models or regression analysis may enable a more profound evaluation of commercialization efficiency in Kazakhstan, notwithstanding data constraints.

Legal Certainty and Procedural Justice in Land Management in Indonesia: Ensuring Rights Protection and Effective Dispute Resolution

Land disputes are a persistent issue in many countries, including Indonesia, often complicated by conflicting land certificates and ambiguous regulations. This article explores the multifaceted aspects of resolving such disputes, emphasizing the pivotal role of land certificates in achieving legal certainty. In addressing these challenges, the research employs the juridical-normative legal method to analyze the complexities inherent in land dispute resolution. A significant finding is that disputes involving dual certificates frequently entail multiple stakeholders, necessitating a meticulous determination of rights and liabilities among the parties involved. Thus, the principle of dignified justice becomes paramount in adjudicating these disputes, ensuring equitable outcomes for all parties. The prevalence of dual certificates exacerbates legal uncertainty for landholders, undermining the efficacy of certificates as conclusive evidence of ownership. Consequently, there is a pressing need for legislative reforms aimed at fortifying the validity and indisputability of land certificates. Strengthening the legal framework is essential to uphold the integrity of property rights and enhance confidence in the judicial process. Agrarian reform emerges as a pivotal strategy in addressing these issues, offering a systematic approach to resolve disputes and establish robust legal frameworks. By reforming existing regulations, stakeholders can mitigate ambiguities and streamline processes, thereby fostering an environment conducive to sustainable development and equitable land distribution. Effective resolution of land disputes hinges upon collaborative efforts among diverse stakeholders, including government bodies, legal institutions, and community representatives. These collaborations are instrumental in devising comprehensive strategies that promote legal certainty and uphold justice.

Evaluation study of the urban governance of the COVID-19 crisis in the city of Antwerp

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has demanded crisis management at all governance levels. While most research has focused on responses of national governments, city-level governance had significant potential to develop tailored approaches. This study explored how the local COVID-19 response was organised and adapted to the specific city population and context in the City of Antwerp, Belgium.MethodsA case study using semi-structured interviews was set up with 20 key informants with a central role in the coordination and implementation of the city-level COVID-19 response in Antwerp. Thematic analysis of transcripts was guided by an adapted version of the OECD risk management cycle.ResultsRespondents’ accounts provide a granular understanding of pandemic preparedness, crisis management, and response and adaptation to the COVID-19 crisis in a mid-size European city. Its size was large enough to have a strong capacity within its government bodies, to utilise the expertise of strong partners in the area and to mobilise a critical mass for action, yet small enough to quickly establish connections and trust. In addition to a universal approach, they developed tailored responses to specific neighbourhoods and groups. Well-established community and organisational ties enhanced the effectiveness of grassroots initiatives. The perceived feeling of joint action contributed to a strong collective agency, but respondents noted the need for a system for monitoring and learning.ConclusionsLocal governments are important to develop tailored strategies and organise a locally relevant crisis response in cities. They need expertise and agency, with enough flexibility to experiment. To harness promising practices and avoid repeating errors in future crises, it is crucial to develop a system that better evaluates and monitors local responses, before, during and after crises.

Административные акты нормативного характера

This article makes an attempt to characterize one of the types of administrative acts within the framework of the general typology of normative acts, which are important both in the doctrinal concept and in the practical activities of government bodies. The author sets himself the task of distinguishing between acts of delegated lawmaking (legislation) issued by executive authorities and administrative acts of a normative nature, which are not included in the concept of “by-laws” and belong to the type of administrative act. The article determines that acts that are not related to acts of delegated rule-making, but contain mandatory rules of conduct and act as acts of interpretation, have normative properties and are administrative regulations, the purpose of which is to organize law enforcement activities.
