Specificity of Socio-Economic Processes in the Hungarian Microregion

The Kunhegyesi District is the most disadvantaged district in the Northern Great Plain Region of Hungary. The aim of this study, which serves as a basis for a social comparative analysis of the District’s settlements in the future, is to understand the demographic processes. Population in the District has been steadily decreasing since 2011 besides lower income levels, poorer health indicators and a higher proportion of premature mortality. Two out of three children are disadvantaged, while the vast majority of young people drops out of secondary school without any qualification. The higherthan-average proportion of Roma population alone does not explain worsening economic output, economic performance has nothing to do with ethnic origin. Reasons are rather to be found in the deterioration of social mobility of the past two decades. Similarly to areas with a higher proportion of Roma population, the District also undergoes an exodus of nonRoma, resulting in ghettoization, thereby further diminishing chances of social mobility. Thanks to social inclusion and recovery programs, as well as the commitment of local Roma stakeholders, promising changes are coming true with an increase in qualification and employment levels and a decrease in the number of disadvantaged children, question is whether development is sustainable in the long run, and also, whether the District has a potential to independently selfsustain social development.

Genesis of the Norm on Criminal Liability for Hostage Taking in Domestic Law

The widespread prevalence of terrorist crimes, as well as the problems of qualifying hostage taking and demarcation from related crimes, are currently relevant for scientific research. The theoretical and practical aspects contained in the norm on criminal liability for hostage taking have had a long and ambiguous history; they require studying the genesis of the norm on hostage taking and the practice of its application. The work contains only significant records of domestic jurisprudence, containing norms on criminal liability for hostage taking from origins up to the present. Methodology: deduction, induction, methods of synthesis, analysis, historical and formal logical research. Conclusions: 1. The history of the application of the norm on criminal liability for hostage taking is fraught with qualification problems at all stages. These problems are ambiguous and are expressed by the fact that the legislator, under the influence of external and internal factors, makes mistakes in the systematization and codification of the criminal law, often losing the line between the norm and related crimes. As for external factors, in our understanding they are also the norms of international law on hostage taking, which, influencing the national law of the USSR, went through the stages of their development, creating norms by trial and error. For example, the rule did not apply if the taking occurred within the same state and the hostage and the perpetrators were its citizens. 2. The analysis of official statistics starting from the single crimes of the Soviet period, the post-perestroika mass crime boom of the 90s of the last century caused by the political crisis, ending with the statistical recession and the relatively well-coordinated work of state structures of the 2000s allows us to conclude that there are calculus flaws. 3. The introduction of the category of public safety has led to a significant decrease in statistical indicators, due to qualifications through related crimes. In this regard, according to lawyers, the reduction in hostage taking has a technical or static character. This led to a proportional increase in qualifications in related crimes. Scientific and practical significance: The study presented in the article gives an ontological idea of the development of the norm, reveals the technique of law making in the design of the norm on hostage taking. The conducted research is based on the materials of judicial practice in specific criminal cases, which may be of interest to researchers of this norm. These examples show the presence of law enforcement errors in the qualification of terroristic crimes, which can be perceived by practitioners as educational material. The article can serve as a source of scientific information for students of law schools, graduate students and applicants, as well as for researchers involved in the study of the national criminal law of the Russian Federation

THE FEATURES OF MYOCARDIAL HEMODYNAMIC AND VEGETATIVE HOMEOSTASIS IN ATHLETES OF DIFFERENT QUALIFICATIONS FROM ACYCLIC SPORTS

Aim. The article deals with studying the functional status of the cardiovascular system and the features of its regulation in athletes of different qualifications from acyclic sports. Materials and methods. Male athletes of different qualifications aged 18–22 years and involved in acyclic sports participated in the study. A complex noninvasive bioimpedance study of HRV and hemodynamics was conducted with the Centaur (Microlux) system. The study of morphofunctional indicators of the myocardium was performed with echocardiography. Results. In athletes with the rank of Master of Sports adaptation to physical training is implemented through the increase in stroke volume, end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, the humoral metabolic activity of heart rate regulation, and myocardial thickening. In the athletes of the 1st and 2nd ranks, there is a predominance of sympathetic activity in heart rate regulation and the chronotropic mechanism in response to physical load, which proves their less perfect adaptation. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained in the transition period of training the features of myocardial hemodynamic and vegetative homeostasis were revealed. Namely, the increase in qualifications and sports performance enhancement are determined by both morphofunctional changes in the heart, and the improvement of heart rate regulation mechanisms and cardiac contractile function.

Актуальность. Морфологические особенности человека – один из генетически предопределенных факторов, наиболее полно и наглядно определяющий индивидуальную специфичность, позволяющий оценить возможности человека в том или ином виде спорта. Рекордные достижения демонстрируются именно теми, кто обладает наиболее оптимальными морфофункциональными данными. Цель работы – исследовать антропологические и силовыепоказатели спортсменок различной квалификации в гребле на байдарках. Материал и методы исследования. Всего обследовано 136 спортсменок. Из них высокой квалификации – 57 человек. Возраст испытуемых – от 13 до 26 лет. Комплексное обследование включало антропометрические измерения тотальных, продольных, поперечных размеров тела, диаметров, обхватов, частичных размеров тела и анализ компонентов состава массы тела. Результаты. При сопоставлении показателей антропологического обследования выявлено, что наибольшая длина и масса тела, обхват грудной клетки и абсолютная поверхность тела отмечается в спортсменок элиты, наименьшие показатели отмечаются у спортсменок II разряда. С возрастом и повышением квалификации тотальные размеры и показатели абсолютной и относительной мышечной массы увеличиваются, что связано с возрастными изменениями и влиянием занятий греблей у спортсменок. Анализ компонентов состава массы тела спортсменокпоказал, что с повышением возраста и квалификации спортсменок показатели жировой массы уменьшаются. Такжеотмечается увеличение обхватных размеров тела, силовых показателей байдарочниц. Выводы. Изучаются морфофункциональные показатели спортсменок разных квалификационных групп, занимающихся греблей на байдарках. Выявлено, что с повышением квалификации происходит увеличение мышечной и уменьшение жировой массы. Отмечается, что наибольшими морфофункциональными показателями обладают спортсменки элитной группы: заслуженные мастера спорта и мастера спорта международного класса. Разработанные нами модельные характеристики спортсменок-байдарочниц разной квалификации от заслуженных мастеров спорта до II-го разряда можно использовать для отбора и спортивной ориентации в греблю на различных этапах подготовки и контроля динамики морфофункционального состояния в годичном цикле подготовки.

What determines the return to education: An extra year or a hurdle cleared?

The 1973 Raising of the School Leaving Age from 15 to 16 has been used to identify returns to years’ schooling. However, because the first set of “high stakes” exams are taken in the UK at age 16, the reform affected the proportion with qualifications, as well as schooling length. In order to shed light on whether the returns reflect the extra length of schooling or the increase in qualifications, we exploit another institutional rule – the Easter Leaving Rule – which we argue only affected the probability of obtaining qualifications (and not the length of schooling). We find sizeable returns to academic qualifications – increasing the probability of employment by 40% points – and our results suggest that qualifications drive most of the returns to education.

SCHOLARLY PRODUCTIVITY: ARE NURSE ACADEMICS CATCHING UP?

The aim of this study was to document the amount of recent change in Australian nurse academics’ scholarly productivity and to investigate the influence of demographic factors such as gender, academic rank, qualifications , increase in qualifications , state of residence, university and university size. Scholarly productivity was calculated from an audit of journal articles. The findings of this study indicate that, while there has been a slight increase in scholarly productivity in the last five years, nursing still lags behind other disciplines. Scholarly productivity was found to be positively associated with highest academic qualification, academic rank and promotion. The study indicates the continuing need for senior nurse academics to provide mentoring to colleagues and foster the development of skills associated with scholarly productivity.
