АNALYSIS OF SOFTWARE PACKAGES APPLYING IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE DAMAGE EFFECT TO REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS ON STRENGTH AND DEFORMABILITY: THE REVIEW

Currently, on the world market, there are trends in the construction of a large number of monolithic and prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, and individual parts of these structures are operated with damage or defects, and the causes of these damages are quite diverse. In modern conditions, such work can be facilitated and analyzed in more detail with the help of specialized software, which can include all the necessary characteristics of material behavior and include existing defects or damage. This problem of damage to reinforced concrete structures will become extremely relevant in Ukraine, especially after the completion of a full-scale armed attack by the Russian Federation, and therefore, the study of various types of damage and defects that will affect the load-bearing capacity and strength of reinforced concrete elements require a quick and high-quality analysis of this damage, and most likely aggregates of damage.

HARMONIZING INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEGAL SYSTEMS THROUGH THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MODERN STATE

Sustainable development is a critical concept used to enhance global welfare. In this context, peremptory norms recognized within international law are integrated as general, universal, essential, and fundamental principles for societal benefit. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the role of sustainable development within international law and examine the contribution of norms to the formation of a modern legal state. The legal status of norms and capacity to embody universal values are clarified using descriptive analysis with a normative juridical approach and qualitative data. The results show that sustainable development has been developed as an indispensable paradigm, widely confirmed across legal frameworks. In addition, the integration as a universal norm within international law reflects the potential to influence legal systems globally. This depends on the balance of established sources such as treaties and customary practices. Moreover, this research contributes to legal scholarship by stating the role of international norms in advancing sustainable development.

CHANGES IN THE LEGAL FIELD OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT IN THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF MARITAL STATE IN UKRAINE

For the effective development of any enterprise, organization or institution, a key aspect is the organization of work with documents, in particular with personnel documentation. Personnel documentation includes a variety of documents containing information about personnel, such as applications for acceptance, dismissal, transfer to another position, orders, autobiographies, characteristics, contracts and employment agreements recorded in labor books. The personnel department is responsible for the preparation and execution of these documents and is considered a mandatory and important structural unit of any organization. Personnel accounting is carried out at all enterprises and institutions that have the right to independently hire and fire employees, transfer them or reward them, as well as establish their own internal rules and working conditions. Documents related to personnel work are drawn up at almost every enterprise. The quality of documentation and its efficiency significantly affect how effectively work with these documents is conducted. The very process of working with personnel documentation is an essential component of personnel administration. The determining factor in the success of mutual relations and maintaining the balance of the interests of employees and employers is the development and introduction of the necessary organizational and legal document base, which will ensure the progress of the labor process in accordance with the norms of current legislation. Compliance with key measures of personnel work guarantees the management of labor resources in accordance with ethical norms also. This will ensure a civilized resolution of problems and conflicts that may arise between subjects of labor relations. After all, the burden on labor legislation and personnel management is significantly increasing and requires adaptation to new realities in modern conditions of martial law.

In conclusion, the authors emphasize the importance of a modern approach to the professional development of educators in the context of the digital transformation of education, as educators need to develop their digital competence to effectively use innovations and technologies.

Challenges and tasks of the philosophy of physical culture and sports, sports science in modern socio-political conditions

The scientific problem lies in the discrepancy between the self-reflective Western and Eastern traditions of the philosophy of sport and the very real sports process and sports science, and, by and large, the classical understanding of the scope and content of the concept of philosophy as such. The relevance of the study lies in the need to eliminate or «remove» this discrepancy, which at three levels openly complicates the development of the philosophy of sport: firstly, as a philosophy in the classical sense of the word; secondly, as a scientific philosophy; and thirdly, as a scientific philosophy of sports and sports science, and not existential, irrational, hermeneutic and other ideas and experiences about philosophizing thoughts about something vaguely reminiscent of them. The purpose of the study is to construct and briefly justify a classification of the scientific philosophy of sports and sports science from the standpoint of classical philosophy and a dialectical-materialistic worldview, as well as to indicate a short list of its main tasks in the current situation of aggravated military-political confrontation between Russia, East and West. The methodology and organization of the study are based on a comprehensive historical, philosophical and scientific theoretical and comparative analysis, including general scientific operations of grouping, systematization, abstraction, idealization and logical operations of defining and dividing concepts, induction, deduction, analogy, determining truth, proof and refutation, constructing a hypothesis. Research results and conclusions. Gradually but steadily growing since the beginning of the 21st century, global changes in the modern socio-political picture of the world are increasingly clearly and rapidly entailing equally significant changes in education and science (including specialized ones). This article presents a system for constructing the philosophy of sport and sports science, which provides a solution to the full range of modern problems of philosophical analysis and scientific research of sport as: • social phenomenon and institution; • cultural and civilizational mechanism of social evolution of humanity; • a mechanism for preserving and improving a person in his inherent parameters of a social and psychophysiological being; • an outpost for preventing the processes of human deanthropolization. It is easy to notice that this system of constructing the philosophy of sport and sports science in many aspects and in terms of system-forming factors differs significantly from its predecessors, at the same time serving as the basis for their scientific and philosophical criticism — criticism that substantiates the urgent need for a radical restructuring of the entire edifice of the philosophy of physical culture and sports, based on from the modern socio-political challenges addressed to her.

Разработка методики диагностирования и определения остаточного ресурса механических демпферов крутильных колебаний машинно-движительных комплексов судов

Import substitution issues in modern conditions remain an urgent topic today, especially in terms of periodic maintenance of mechanical torsional vibration dampers of foreign manufacture (they are also called spring dampers). Diagnostics of such devices is impossible due to the influence of sanctions against Russia, namely, in the absence of the possibility of the arrival of defect specialists from leading specialized organizations and manufacturing plants. A method for developing a model mechanical damper is presented, taking into account all conditions of similarity: geometric, kinematic and dynamic. Through the use of modern Autodesk Fusion 360 software, a digital model of a real Geislinger marine damper model D90/37 (Austria) has been developed. The results of diagnostics of the Kogalym and Langepas ship propulsion systems, which include mechanical dampers, are also reflected, and the dynamics of changes in torsional vibration parameters is analyzed. It is noted that non-selective diagnostics (torsiography procedure) is possible only in coordination with the supervisory authorities, usually with a small operating time of the damper. All further diagnostics are allowed only if there is an approved standard methodology, which currently does not exist, which confirms the relevance of the chosen research topic. An initial version of the methodology for diagnosing and determining the residual life of mechanical torsional vibration dampers of ship propulsion systems is presented.

Inheritance and Heirs in Roman Law: Impact on Modernity

Introduction. The article examines the main provisions of the Roman legal tradition on inheritance in the context of the development of modern legislation in the field of regulation of hereditary legal relations. The article consistently examines the trends in the legal regulation of hereditary relations in the ancient Roman state, both in relation to the normative content of legislation and in relation to the evolution of individual legal means. Using the example of individual institutions of inheritance law – the inheritance contract, unworthy heirs – the article demonstrates the influence of Roman law on modern Russian legislation. An urgent issue for consideration is also the separation of hereditary property, which was solved in a peculiar way in Roman law. The question is raised about the possibility of adapting certain elements of the Roman legal tradition to the modern conditions of the development of hereditary legal relations.The article is based on the analytical approaches generally accepted in the doctrine of private law to understanding the nature of hereditary relations in ancient Roman legislation, based on commonly used terms. The analysis of inheritance in Roman law is based on historical sources (Digests, Institutions).The hypothesis of the article is to recognize the decisive influence of the main legal structures of ancient Roman legislation on the modern inheritance law of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the tools of the general scientific apparatus and special legal methodology. The article uses the historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative-legal method. The general scientific methodology is represented by the method of analysis, the formal-logical method, the dialectical method.Results of the study. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that Roman private law is a unique historical and legal phenomenon that had a decisive impact on the development of the legislation of the states of the continental legal system on inheritance. The influence of the legislation of Ancient Rome on inheritance and heirs on the civil law of the Russian Federation, in particular the institution of unworthy heirs, where the unworthy heir initially had a positive appearance, and subsequently lost this status due to misconduct, is demonstrated. The current trends in the development of modern legislation of the Russian Federation on the inheritance contract, on separate hereditary property in the context of the influence of key ideas of Roman jurisprudence are considered.Discussion and conclusion. The influence of the legislation of Ancient Rome on inheritance and heirs on the civil law of the Russian Federation is also obvious. The influence of the Roman private law tradition on the civil legislation of the Russian Federation is considered in the context of the reception of universal hereditary succession, as well as the features of singular succession.The doctrine of hereditary succession is organically formulated by the civil law of the Russian Federation and has been further developed. The key elements of the modern system of inheritance law make it possible to overcome the limitations of the classical Roman legal tradition and ensure that legislation complies with current trends in the development of hereditary legal relations of individual institutions of inheritance law - inheritance contract, unworthy heirs, separation of family property.

Civic Subjecthood: The Hybridization and Reformulation of Subjecthood and Citizenship in Brunei

ABSTRACT This article examines Brunei’s state formation and development from 1906 until 2023 to demonstrate the hybridization and reformulation of subjecthood and citizenship within the last absolute monarchy in the Asia-Pacific region. The absence of active political parties and calls for a representative government has led most scholars to portray Bruneians as passive subjects of the Sultan. Such a portrayal is inaccurate; Bruneians are both citizens and subjects. The article thus introduces a new category of political membership based on synthesized ideas of subjecthood and citizenship, termed here, “civic subjecthood.” This coexistence is only possible as a result of the British residential system, which was established in the Bruneian Sultanate at the beginning of the twentieth century. The British resident initially created a dual-state apparatus – consisting of the traditional negara and the modern state – to keep the façade of indigenous rule in Brunei. However, the Sultan of Brunei and the traditional ruling class eventually took control of both apparatuses after abolishing the residential system in September 1959. Both apparatuses function to this day, allowing for the coexistence of subjecthood and citizenship in the country.

Problems of Countering the Criminal Subculture in the Penitentiary System of Kazakhstan

The present paper examines the problematic issues of countering the criminal subculture in the conditions of the penitentiary system of Kazakhstan. Currently, the administration of these institutions, various state bodies, and numerous public organisations are engaged in the rehabilitation of prisoners. Through joint efforts, it was possible to stop the wide spread of criminal ideology in places of detention. At the same time, a detailed study of the current situation shows that the criminal subculture, primarily the phenomenon of “code-bound thieves”, till plays a certain role there, since it was formed over many decades of Soviet and post-Soviet history. In modern conditions, this phenomenon has been significantly transformed, but nevertheless, it seeks to strengthen its influence in the penitentiary system of Kazakhstan.

The good intentions of federalism

The article is devoted to substantiating the controversial thesis that federalism is not an autonomous type of political structure. Federations are interpreted as a set of specific failures of different origins in the course of following the basic modern scenario of the formation of a unitary nation-state with a consolidated (civil) political identity. The article has for theoretical basis the actor approach, which interprets the political form of the federation as a derivative result of a conflict pact between the central and peripheral elites. In this methodological perspective, the history of the concept of federalism is examined and a comparative historical analysis of the world federal experience is carried out. As a result, a number of interrelated author's conclusions were formulated. First, it is shown that the original Kantian project of a world federation of states has little in common with federalism, which refers to the description of the internal structure of individual societies. Secondly, the conclusion is substantiated by the fact that in the modern theory of federalism a harmful mainstream tradition has developed, which scales as a normative successful experience the centralizing federalism in the United States. Thirdly, the cultural and historical features of the formation of two families of federations are highlighted and analyzed, one of which is associated with the acquisition of independence by offshoots of the West, and the other was formed by the later processes of the collapse of the colonial empires of the West and the liberation of colonies in Africa and Eurasia. Fourthly, it is argued that the federal political structure at the theoretical level was intended to reconcile, at the basis of the political project of Modernity, the liberal utopia of a universal and culturally homogeneous civil nation and the actual cultural diversity of any modern states, which is a permanent source of erosion of its political sovereignty and differentiation of collective identities. Fifthly, it is proved that all derived political, legal, economic and other signs of federalism are due to one initial problem - the legitimation and subsequent institutionalization of the conflict between the central elite and regional elites, challenging the indivisibility of political sovereignty and demanding political autonomy. Sixth, federalism as a changeable pact of elites in specific historical societies does not provide convincing grounds for its qualification as an autonomous political form compared to a unitary nation-state. The final conclusion is that the political format of federalism in most states is a long-term way of formalizing the political divorce of cultural communities that could not create a common political nation.

“Return us where we can hunt and gather”: hierarchies and social structures that sustain exclusion of San minority in Zimbabwe

PurposeThe paper seeks to analyse the constellation of social structures, administrative institutions and hierarchies that sustain the exclusion of the San minority group in Zimbabwe, with a particular focus on how the European expansion in the eighteenth century, the modern state and private property owners have colluded to perpetuate exclusion from accessing forest as their natural habitat. The purpose of this paper is to therefore highlight the various abuses, including those social, administrative legislative frameworks that discriminate against the San minority and it advocates for actions the right to consultation and the right to free, prior and informed consent to proposed developments.Design/methodology/approachThrough the modern ethnographic approach, data generation was guided by the principles of indigenous and decolonising research methodologies, which place emphasis on the importance of San people telling their own stories thereby shifting the power of a researcher to the indigenous participants. This is a qualitative study that gives prominence to the descriptions of experiences (phenomenology) and interpretations (hermeneutic) of their survival. The paper employed cultural ecology theoretical framework as a lens through which to see the San’s exclusion from forest resources and how this has tragically shifted their egalitarian lifestyle characterised by reciprocity, sharing and levelling to adaptation to the unfamiliar sedentary farming practices.FindingsThe technical implementation of forest boundary demarcation and forcing the San to join sedentary farming form part of the state’s territorialisation that excludes, restricts and disrupts the San minority from accessing forest products. The treatment of the minority group reveals not only the enormous authority of the state to transfer alienation to individuals and companies but also to legitimise the exclusion by establishing laws and policies that safeguard the interests of those favoured by the state. The San, who are already overly dominated by the social administrative structures of the Ndebele and Kalanga tribes, lack systematic and organised responses to their marginalisation.Originality/valueThe San community in Zimbabwe is under-researched and under-theorised particularly in relation to how historically formed postcolonial hierarchies of exclusion and marginalisation manifest themselves in contemporary resource governance. Less is known about how those that are powerful – government officials, private property owners and Kalanga/Ndebele tribes benefit more from the environmental resources than the powerless minority San, whose livelihoods depend on the primary natural resources. The unequal power relations have been demonstrated by the evictions of the minority from wildlife areas that were converted into game parks. The study reveals how indigenous San not only resist exclusion but also develop adaptable strategies through negotiations to improve their situation with social and administrative institutions.

Extending the formal state: the case of Pakistan's Frontier Crimes Regulation

AbstractWhy do modern states allow parts of their territory to be governed by non‐state actors? We study this question using the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) in Pakistan, a British Colonial law abrogated only in 2018, which left governance to pre‐colonial tribal councils in large parts of modern day Pakistan. In areas where the FCR did not apply, the British and then Pakistani state built modern political and bureaucratic institutions. Using primary legal documents, we build a dataset of when and where the FCR applied between 1901 and 2012. The territorial extent of the formal state is both cleanly demarcated by this law and varies substantially over time, permitting an empirical examination of the determinants of state control. The data reveal that the Green Revolution's potential to transform agriculture played a major role in extending the formal state. The law was repealed first from areas where agricultural productivity benefited the most from the Green Revolution. This is consistent with a model in which technological changes that shift the returns to control influence where states choose to govern.

The essence and features of enterprise solvency management in modern conditions

Cash is an integral part of the functioning of any enterprise, and the movement of money makes it possible to analyze the two most important indicators of any enterprise — liquidity and solvency. The potential negative consequences associated with the possibility of the next phase of the global financial crisis unfolding are reinforced by the presence of systemic contradictions in the national economy. The consequence of this is a decrease in the level of solvency of Russian enterprises, which undermines investor confidence in them.The subject of the research in the article is the theoretical and methodological foundations and practical aspects of enterprise solvency management.

A rágalmazás „tényállása” az Ószövetségben és a rabbinikus jogtudományban

The Law of Moses, the Torah, does not explicitly divide the crimes that can be committed in the field of communication into criminal and civil categories, contrary to the legal system of modern and postmodern European states. In the theocratic legal system of the ancient state of Israel, where all sins against human beings were first and foremost offences against God (i.e., being a holy nation, they were also a matter of holiness), this distinction was at most separable in the way in which cases were dealt with, and in the fact that prosecution of certain crimes was mandatory, while prosecution of others was, in modern terms, on the basis of private accusation. The Ten Commandments forbid two acts of communication: the vain (empty, meaningless, false, blasphemous, etc.) use of the name of God (Yhwh), and, in human relations, bearing false witness against someone. In my study, I intend to give an overview of the latter element of the Ten Commandments as a general clause, using the Torah and the sources of rabbinic jurisprudence and relevant literature in a historical context.

Modern approaches to the training of pediatricians and assessment of their professional competences: domestic and American experience

In the article, issues related to the effective training of students/pediatricians and assessment of their competencies are discussed, taking into account the specifics of pediatric care in modern conditions. Nowadays, pediatricians are using a number of innovative technologies and provide daily assistance to a larger number of patients than before, with much less time spent on professional communication. To a certain extent, this reduces the desire of pediatricians to take care of children, because under such conditions, the art of communicating with a patient and his fa­mily members is lost. The article provides recommendations on the experience of American educational institutions regarding the effective elimination of communication problems between students/ pediatric residents and a patient, members of his family, and colleagues. It describes methods that help learn the principles of cultural and effective professional communication in order to improve understanding of the psychology of a child and his family members in the context of the family medicine. Further, information is provided regarding the key approaches to the formation of the main components of professionalism in pediatric practice at the undergraduate and postgraduate stages of the training of pediatricians, collegiality, resolving issues of conflict of interests in the context of cooperation with representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.

In 2022, Russia experienced maximum sanctions pressure from the EU and the United States, which had a strong impact on the country's economy, and also showed the shortcomings of the previous mechanisms of its functioning. Despite the difficult economic situation, it is necessary to rebuild the Russian financial system based on the needs of an innovative oriented market economy in order to overcome the consequences associated with the introduction of anti-Russian economic sanctions. During the period of structural transformation of the Russian economy, the monetary policy of the state will have to adapt to the changing external and internal conditions of development. A balanced financial policy, effective management and coordination of actions by all stakeholders will contribute to improving the activities of the institutions of the national financial system and meeting the needs of all economic entities in financial resources. The article analyzes financial policy in Russia under the conditions of sanctions restrictions (2021-2023), and also provides forecasts for the draft monetary policy of 2023-2025. The content of Russia's financial policy in modern conditions is revealed. The main directions of using financial resources have been identified. The problems and prospects of further development of the economy, its stabilization and restructuring are analyzed. Economic sanctions are considered, as well as the reasons why they were imposed on Russia. The results of the sanctions pressure on the banking sector are investigated. The measures and actions of the Central Bank aimed at stabilizing and increasing financial stability in the country have been identified. The statistics of inflation and the Central Bank's key rate have been studied. The paper considers the dynamics of real GDP growth in the Russian Federation and the main indicators of the banking sector. The risks of lending and their methods of overcoming are assessed.
