Kontinentinės Europos šalių baudžiamosios teisės specialioji dalis: šiuolaikinė būklė ir vystymosi algoritmas

The article is devoted to analysis of modern status of algorithm of the development of Special part of Criminal legislation of Continental Europe countries. According to author’s opinion, Special part of Criminal Code, as a structural element of Criminal legislation, is a complex of institutes and norms, which give definition and characteristics of crimes and set sanctions. The system of Special part of criminal legislation consists of two subsystems: 1) codified (main), illustrated in Criminal Code; 2) not codified (subsidiary), illustrated in different formal sources (international treaties, special criminal laws, legal acts of other areas of law). Criteria for the construction of the Special Part of the criminal legislation of the abovementioned states are determined on the basis of the commonality of the objects of criminal offences and their significance in the hierarchy of social values which are officially adopted in this or that society and the state. Taking the content into consideration, the Special Part of the Criminal law of various countries of continental Europe, on the one hand, has universality and unity in the main - in the list of common crimes, forming its core. On the other hand, it is distinguished by a sufficiently pronounced invariance, i.e. specificity in the amount of criminalization, the degree of differentiation of criminal responsibility and the level of penalization for committed offences. At present stage the algorithm of the development of the Special Part of the criminal legislation of the countries of continental Europe has the following model: codification as a whole prevails over decodification, criminalization – over decriminalization, penalization – over depenalization. At the present time, the concept (ideology) of the Special Part of the criminal legislation of these countries is gradually changing, which is manifested, first of all, in a change in the vector of value orientations of criminal legal protection: (from the state to the individual). Unification of the content of the Special Part of the criminal legislation of these states may be characterised as a stable trend. In addition, the process of rapprochement of various criminal legal systems (primarily Romano-Germanic (continental) and Anglo-American) continues.

THE HUMANITARIAN ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS: CAUSES OF RESEARCH INTEREST AND MAIN THEORETICAL APPROACHES

The article examines the socio-economic, socio-cultural and epistemological reasons of actualization of research interest to the humanitarian aspects of health and well-being. It analyzes the main theoretical models of psychological health arising from the recognition of the determining influence of social factors and the importance of cultural determinants in the analysis of the humanitarian aspects of health; particular attention is paid to the modern status of a special area of knowledge of health psychology. There are three main levels of factors affecting psychological health and subjective well-being: 1) macro, which includes a number of objective and subjective indicators (the level of economic development of the region, and subjective economic well-being of the population; the level of social protection of the population and its subjective evaluation, etc.); 2) social-psychological, among which the structural and dynamic features of social networks, the stylistic characteristics of the communication opportunities of social support; 3) the personality, including resilience, the nature of self, dominant emotional state, the characteristics of personal and social identity. It is emphasized that although among the criteria of psychological health of particular importance is the degree of integration of the personality and its focus on self-development, the nature of psychological health is closely linked to socio-psychological aspects of human existence: a harmonious integration in the society, successful socialization, the presence of strong social ties and social support are integral to psychological health.

The Current Status of Social Work Science and Research: A Review of the Literature and Its Implications for Post-Soviet Countries

This paper offers a review of the major literature about the modern status of social work as a science within the American and European contexts and its implications for post-Soviet countries where social work is an emerging profession. It identifies the most appropriate types of social work research (e.g. translational research) that can be used for bridging the science and service communities to directly affect the provision of services across different social work sectors. It also provides historical analysis of the various organizations within European and American social work to show their pivotal role in improving the scope and quality of social work research and consequently, social work as a science. And finally it suggests ways of increasing visibility of social work as science in post-Soviet countries through development of sound social work doctoral programs.

Stability of lexical features and its change in Omani society

This study deals with the main lexical features of Omani dialect, the study highlights the impact of terms consistency on the function of Omani dialect as a communication means, and it examines the consistency influence on the status of originality and modernity of the Omani community dialect, and the capacity of its members to keep abreast with developments in all their aspects of life over times. To achieve its purposes, the study adapted descriptive method and selected terms from Omani dialect that reflect the effect of consistency and change, and signify life developments in Oman. The study reveals, among its other results, that multiple sources shape the lexical corpus of Omani dialect, and the derived and conventionalized terms used by Omanis are the most fixed. Furthermore, usage can be considered as a vital rule in linguistic development, as significance change is bound to the term usage.

Connections between scientific research and education in the field of tourism and leisure in Russia

The specific features of their formation and organization in the second half of the twentieth century are examined, because they had a strong influence over the modern status of the country’s tourism and recreation and development trends in the beginning of the twenty-first century. Scientific generalizations made in the article are based on a large amount of factual data analysis and original literary sources, and are followed by a number of concrete examples.

О некоторых направлениях развития теоретической экономики

The paper discusses some promising directions of theoretical economics related to analyzing problems with many interacting agents, i.e. at graphs with fixed or emergent topologies. A necessity of developing a statistical game theory is discussed; in which, similarly to statistical physics, one constructs an approximate aggregated description of a system in terms of a small number of representative collective variables. Development of aggregated description of systems with nontrivial local topology of economic interactions is of particular interest. A modern status of multi sector macroeconomic models is described portraying economic interaction through considering a weighted oriented graph corresponding to the input-output matrix as well as multiagent approach to optimization problems in which an optimal state is reached by agents exchanging services at the virtual market..

Distribution pattern and modern status of rare plant species on the Ustyurt Plateau in Uzbekistan

The modern status of rare species on the Ustyurt Plateau is evaluated. New coenotic populations of two species (Malacocarpus crithmifolius (Retz.) C. A. Mey. and Euphorbia sclerocyathium Korov. et M. Pop.) registered in the Red Data Book are revealed. Their status is assessed by the ontogenetic structure. The distribution pattern of some rare species growing on the Kara-Kalpak part of the Ustyurt Plateau (Crambe edentula, Lagochilus acutilobus, Crataegus korolkowii, and Allium delicatulum) that are not listed in the Red Data Book of Uzbekistan, is characterized.

Langston Hughes and Performing Transnational Presence: Scottsboro Limited and Harvest

Theatre revealed shifts between movements black modernism of 1920s and 1930s. As Langston Hughes recalls his autobiography Big Sea (1940) the 1920's were years of Manhattan's black Renaissance.... [T]he musical revue, Shuffle Along ... gave a scintillating send-off to vogue Manhattan, which reached its peak just before crash of 1929, crash sent ... all rolling down hill toward Works Progress Administration. (1) Hughes wrote Scottsboro Limited (1931) just before visiting Soviet Union. Hughes co-authored Harvest with Ella Winter and Ann Hawkins shortly after returning to United States but left play unfinished 1934. Both scripts provoke politically while experimenting theatrical forms to aestheticize narratives of recent upheaval United States. Following Hughes's markers for what he calls that vogue, Scottsboro Limited and Harvest fall chronologically between Shuffle Along (1921) and plays of WPA's Federal Theatre Project (1935-39). These plays remain powerful indicators of a transitional cultural moment which Soviet drama was also vogue. Attending to these plays reasserts theatre as a ubiquitous and influential medium 1930s cultures of United States. Analysis of these plays participates debates on status of transnational modernism at large, while clarifying a crucial element of Hughes's exchange with Soviet culture missing from recent literary studies. Internationally renowned as a poet, Langston Hughes has received renewed critical attention recent years with valuable research on transnational characteristics of his life, poetry, autobiography, and short stories. (2) Theatre, however, has received relatively little attention this critical revival, despite its centrality to Hughes's broad cultural consumption and to his literary work (as is evident from assessments of his biographers and from his correspondence with Carl Van Vechten). This essay reads Hughes's plays Scottsboro Limited and Harvest as theatrical representations of prisoners and workers specific to US contexts mirror Soviet-dominated internationalist film, journalistic theatre, and pageants. Hughes's 1930s participation a transnational aesthetic community of theatrical innovation devoted to developing proletarian theatre remains under-researched. His plays from period embody collaboration and emotional commitment across national lines. Hughes's travel supported circulation and translation of his works journals such as Soviet International Literature (with publications multiple languages) and many Spanish-language journals such as Contemporaneos, Sur, Revista de La Habana, El Diario de la Marina, Cristol, and El Mono Azul. (3) I argue Hughes's work revises Soviet cinematic and theatrical conventions, and these aesthetic choices affirm internationalism. Hughes modifies Soviet forms an act of international exchange, echoing Soviet calls for revolution, while challenging Comintern's Black Belt Nation Thesis and its implications for his poetics. (4) Hughes ends article Moscow: In a Land Where There Is No Jim Crow for International Literature with an English translation of Russian poem KINSHIR (5) For Hughes, Julian Anisimov's poem claims kinship in art between The Russian and Negro through the blood of Pushkin with a vision of unity between cultural nationalities in International. (6) Hughes's work and travel enacted an internationalism dialogue with Anisimov's vision, but Hughes resisted Moscow's authority within ideology of Soviet Internationalism as worldwide communist revolution. Still, Hughes celebrates impression Moscow there are no color bars, and very nature of Soviet system can never admit any sort of discriminatory racial separation, or setting apart from general worker's life of Negroes or any other minority group. …

La educacion sexual como estrategia de inclusión en la formación integral del adolescente

La dinámica social en búsqueda de la globalización de las sociedades y la apertura de la información les ha brindado a las nuevas generaciones ventanas del mundo en donde ellos transitan constantemente, y sin control absorben información de entornos diferentes a los suyos para marcar una diferencia en estatus social de sus pares. Esta convergencia de culturas genera un comportamiento negativo en los jóvenes, que incide directamente en sus proyectos de vida. Es ahí donde se fundamenta el problema de investigación, si en las instituciones educativas existen programas y proyectos de salud sexual y reproductiva, ¿por qué los jóvenes no están entendiendo el mensaje?, ahora bien, no solo es la escuela, ¿Dónde quedó la orientación de casa para el desarrollo sexual del joven? y sin excusar familia y escuela, ¿cuál es el mensaje que propone la sociedad para el desarrollo sexual en los jóvenes? Estos son cuestionamientos simples, pero con la significancia necesaria para asumirlo desde el aula de clase como un reto de inclusión, a través de la investigación acción, como dinamizador de conocimientos, promotor de actitudes y emancipador en valores que atienda la diversidad cultural y permita el afloramiento de la dignidad humana en todas sus expresiones, con actores autónomos (familia, escuela y estado) que sean capaces de consolidar sociedades cada vez más pacíficas, democráticas y pluralistas.

Development of codes and KASKAD complex

Abstract A brief description of the development history of engineering computer codes for VVER reactor calculations, which have been developed in the VVER physics department of NRC Kurchatov institute, since the end of 1950 s till now, are given in the report. The modern status of the basic codes of the Kurchatov institute for VVER fuel loadings design and safety analysis (TVS-M, KASKAD-BIPR-PERMAK, BIPR8, PERMAK-3D, SC1, TOPRA, ATHLET/BIPR-VVER, TIGR-1, etc.) is characterized from various points of view. Some specific problems which are shown during designing of fuel cycles, optimisation of fuel and technologies will be commented. They demand decisions within the complex of programs and, accordingly, demand the further development of a complex or working out and inclusion in a complex of new programs.

Natureza e Cultura entrelaçadas: o Boletim científico da Escola de Chimica Industrial do Pará

O presente estudo analisa o Boletim Científico da Escola de Chimica Industrial do Pará considerando este documento como uma “inscrição” resultante do encontro entre os produtos naturais amazônicos e os instrumentos dos laboratórios da Escola. Inicialmente são tecidas considerações sobre o papel da Química e daquela instituição de ensino no contexto dos anos 20 do século XX, particularmente em uma cidade (Belém) vivendo a decadência econômica após o fim do chamado ciclo do látex. Em seguida, o Boletim é apresentado, elencando-se sua constituição e características depreendidas a partir da sua exegese. Ao final são tecidas considerações que evidenciam ter sido a Escola de Chimica Industrial do Pará uma instituição cujo perfil está de acordo com o chamado “estatuto da modernidade”, segundo o qual representava à época o papel de intérprete objetivo da natureza, buscava a construção de um conhecimento “positivo” e “verdadeiro” e tencionava, no contexto em que se inseria, contribuir para a redenção econômica da região mediante a aplicação do conhecimento científico visando o “desenvolvimento e o progresso”.

АСОЦИЈАТИВНИ РЕЧНИЦИ КАО ИЗВОР ЗА ПРОУЧАВАЊЕ РЕЛИГИОЗНОСТИ У ПОСТАТЕИСТИЧКИМ ДРУШТВИМА ИСТОЧНЕ И ЈУГОИСТОЧНЕ ЕВРОПЕ (на материјалу речника српског и руског језика)

The essay deals with the analysis of the content and the structure of the associative fields of lexemes from the semantic field “religion and Church” in Russian and Serbian languages on the material of associative dictionaries. The aim of this study is the reconstruction of the notions of the religiosity in the consciousness of the both language speakers. The results are set in correlation with the recent sociological studies of the religiosity of Russian and Serbian citizens. The analysis reveals the compatibility of the picture of the religiosity in the language consciousness of the contemporary speakers of Russian and Serbian languages with the findings obtained by sociological methods. According to the structure and the content of the associative fields of the lexemes from the domain of spirituality, religious notions among Russians are amorphous, emotionally and expressively more negatively marked than among Serbs, and they imply greater detachment which is manifested through intellectualistic, rational and atheistic approach. The syncretism of the Soviet ideological attitude toward religious values and their modern status in the post-atheistic and post-totalitarian society is also noticeable, with its rather weak manifestations of the traditional orientation. Among Serbs, the attitude toward the terms from the sacral domain is mostly positively marked, but notions about them are often ambiguous. The most dominant is the traditionalism, with the weaker exposing of the national element, but certain profanation of the terms and notions form the sacral sphere are also noticeable, and it stems from the coexistence of the religious and the secular.

Introduced semiaquatic mammals in the Uvs Nuur Hollow (Current distribution and ecological vectors of naturalization)

The modern status and population trends of three alien semiaquatic mammals in a transboundary (Mongolia/Russia) ecosystem of the Uvs Nuur Hollow were studied. The muskrat, American mink, and Eurasian beaver (Sino-Mongolian subspecies) have almost equivalent size of “life arenas,” but different population trends, different success in naturalization, and different impact on native ecosystems. It is concluded that differences of naturalization in these three mammals are defined not by postintroduction history or the effect of some abiotic factors, but by the diversity and abundance of trophic niches in the Uvs Nuur Basin. It is stated that, in the conditions of a sharply continental climate and a rigid hydroregime, the adaptation to a new ecosystem is easier for herbivorous mammals having richer and stabler food resources than for carnivorous animals. The behavioral adaptive mechanisms promoting naturalization are described. The evolutionary stability of the building instinct is very important for beaver colonization of new habitats. The utilitarian value of alien species for the human population of the given territory is estimated.
