Co-Financing of Capital Investment Within the Frames of Federal Projects

The article deals with issues of inter-budget and inter-departmental coordination to finance project activities connected with capital investment. Special attention was paid to evaluation of factors influencing budget expenses of all levels and non-budget sources, observation of dates of reaching control points and results of project events in conducting capital investment. The goal of the present research is to identify problems in mechanism of capital investment financing within the frames of federal and regional projects at different levels of management and work out recommendations aimed at their overcoming. The authors revealed and systematized key problems in implementation of federal and regional projects in case of capital investment financing, analyzed their reasons and after-effects illustrated by different projects, including incompleteness of regulating enactments in the field of project financing of budget expenses; low quality of project-estimate documents; improper procedures of finding the supplier (contractor, executor) and careless observation of their obligations under the contract. Special attention was paid to issues of insufficient finance support of capital investment, inaccurate estimation of finance volumes and coordination of dates of reaching control points in project events. As a result the authors formulated and substantiated practical recommendations aimed at raising the role and wider authorities of municipal bodies as participants of project activities, upgrading procedures of project documents preparation, modernization and developing new information systems in the field of project activities of power bodies, elaborating typical provisions for cooperation of authorized bodies and other participants of purchase, managing risks of circumstances not under control of contract client and executors. These recommendations could provide more efficient planning of budget allocations in developing federal and regional projects, cutting terms of step implementation for building projects of capital construction, tracing the process of capital investment, minimizing risks of unpredictable costs of consolidated budgets of entities of the Russian Federation.

E-Learning Methodology: Technology and Livelihood Education Teachers’ Affordances and Limitations

This study aimed to explore the implementation of E-learning methodology based on the perspective of TLE teachers. This study employed a phenomenological research design which aims to determine the experiences and perceptions of the seven (7) participants. Three themes emerged from the experiences of TLE teachers in implementing the E- learning methodology. The three themes were flexibility and convenience, delayed communication and unavailability of technical support from teachers. Meanwhile, on the coping mechanism of teachers the themes generated were willing to take professional development, addressing technical problems at a different angle and utilizing more mechanisms towards efficient communication. Further, the following are the themes generated from the insights drawn from the experiences of the teachers which were realistic optimism, provision of authentic learning, and collaboration and cooperation. The results implied that school administrators design teachers’ readiness program on E-learning methodology based on the empirical results of this study. Moreover, the results generated provided comprehensive data in conducting future research with similar or relevant scope. This will yield advantageous findings tailored to the organization and hierarchical context of the education sector.

Historical Aspects of the Cooperation and Collaboration Between the South African Reserve Bank and Other Role Players

Prior to the enactment of the Financial Sector Regulation Act (FSR Act), the regulation of cooperation and collaboration between the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and other financial role players was not done for the purpose of protecting financial stability or promoting market integrity. The SARB, the Financial Services Board (FSB) and the Bank Supervision Department (BSD) were required by the Banks Act to harmonise supervisory actions and to share relevant information for operational purposes. The lack of adequate cooperation and collaboration arrangements to promote, protect, enhance and maintain financial stability and market integrity gave rise to regulatory gaps and overlapping functions in the financial sector. The provisions for cooperation and collaboration contained in the Banks Act, the Financial Markets Act and the Financial Services Board Act, and the establishment of the Financial Sector Contingency Forum (FSCF) were not adequate to foster effective cooperation and collaboration between the SARB, the BSD, the FSB and other financial role players.

정신장애 범죄인에 대한 형사법적 대응체계의 문제점과 개선방안

From the murder case at a PC room in Gangseo-gu in 2018 to the recent stabbing incidents at Sillim Station and Seohyeon Station, violent incidents by people with mental disorders (including people with mental disabilities related to various addictions such as alcohol or drugs, or people with mental disabilities equivalent to it) continue to occur, leading to high-risk situations such that blind spots in the social safety net still exist due to the lack of a management and supervision system for people with mental disorders in society. In addition, crimes committed by people with mental disorders have increased significantly since 7,304 cases in 2018, increasing to 8,902 cases in 2021, and the recidivism rate has reached 64.3%, meaning that people are immediately released into society without receiving continuous treatment after the end of treatment custody or treatment order (tentative termination). It has been pointed out that there is no judicial treatment and management system for mentally disabled people who have returned to society. Even though violent crimes committed by the mentally disabled are still emerging as a social problem, criminal justice agencies are not reviewing the causes of the crime of the mentally disabled and moving forward with therapeutic treatment but are instead taking measures that focus on repeated surveillance, isolation, and institutionalization. The current treatment and custody law has no provisions for treatment linkage, cooperation, and collaboration between criminal justice agencies and mental (health) medical institutions for therapeutic treatment. Moreover, as criminal justice agencies focus on surveillance, isolation, and institutionalization due to insufficient legislation on treatment linkage, social concerns that mentally disabled people may be stigmatized as potential criminals are increasing, and the need to prevent crimes by mentally disabled people and improve the criminal legal response system is also increasing. Keeping the above situation in mind, this study reviewed the legislative examples of the United States, Germany, and Japan and the limitations of the criminal legal response system for mentally disordered criminals, focusing on the treatment perspective, such as treatment and custody, under the current Medical Treatment and Custody Act. As a result, the following problems were found: First, a lack of connection between the treatment order after the end of treatment and custody; Second, the absence of maintenance and management after the end of the treatment order; Third, the absence of mandatory diagnosis before the execution of the treatment order, and Fourth, a lack of connection and cooperation between the criminal justice system and the mental (health) medical system, and Fifth, the reduction of the target of treatment orders leads to more violent crimes. Therefore, to solve this problem, it is necessary to 'improve' criminal legal response measures, such as harmony and cooperation between the criminal justice system under the Medical Treatment and Custody Act and the mental (health) medical system under the Mental Health and Welfare Act, and more effective treatment of criminals with mental disorders. Accordingly, revision of the Medical Treatment and Custody Act and related criminal law amendments were presented as improvement and legislative measures. However, to more effectively achieve the criminal policy purpose of preventing crimes by mentally disabled people and preventing recidivism within the legislative system between criminal justice and mental (health) medical care proposed in the amendment to the Medical Treatment and Custody Act, it is judged to introduce the followings measures: First, specialization of therapeutic treatment, second, strengthening the ability to respond to mental health problems, third, the right of probation officers to apply for administrative hospitalization, fourth,

Multilateralism in Global Health: A New Paradigm

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragile state of the global economy and the impact of newly emerging diseases can have. As the World Health Organisation (WHO) declares the pandemic over, there is a need to re-think the prevalent ideas of multilateralism and enable global cooperation in preventing and managing future pandemics and impacts of climate change. The global multilateral institutions have developed since their inception after World War II into large-scale organisations which route funds towards development in social, economic and health of the member nations. However, they continue to be helmed by the Global North, with priorities being increasingly influenced by private individuals and multinational corporations which provide funds. The G20 and its member nations seek equitable representation in the global institutions. With India at its presidency as the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the need of the hour is a reformed and equitable multilateralism with provisions for international cooperation, knowledge and data sharing in case of global emergencies, and pharmaceutical and vaccine supply chains that can work around the WTO’s TRIPS regulations in emergency conditions. The use of technology in healthcare services has gained momentum in the last decade and India’s call to declare digital health tools a public good is expected to be a major milestone in healthcare.

Economic effects of voluntary religious castration on the informal provision of cooperation: The case of the Russian Skoptsy sect

• Voluntary religious castration productively affected boycott. • Skoptsy screened for individuals who valued repeated interactions in the sect. • Treatment of Skoptsy as pariahs secured boycott’s credibility. • Boycott secured social order and enabled wealth generation through market collusion. The article examines the effects of voluntary religious castration (VRC) on the informal provision of cooperation through boycott. To do so, it analyzes the Russian Skoptsy sect, active from 1772 to 1930. The Skoptsy were outlawed by the Russian state and had to secure cooperation through informal means. To do so, the sect relied on the threat of boycott against noncooperative individuals. I argue that VRC ensured the credibility of this threat. First, VRC created a high entry cost, which screened for single-minded and patient individuals who placed high value upon repeated in-group interaction. Second, VRC created a high exit cost from the sect because of the hostile attitude of the Russian populace to castrated individuals. Moreover, the public could cheaply identify the ex-sect members and punish them because of permanent physiological changes caused by VRC. The credible threat of ostracism secured widespread cooperation among the Skoptsy and enabled the sect to support its members through a system of mutual aid and inheritance. Cooperation in the sect also allowed for a rapid creation of wealth through market collusion, making the Skoptsy one of the richest sects in Russia and abroad.

History of regional relations in foreign political activity of the Republic of Kazakhstan (1991-2014)

Lately legal framework of Kazakhstan’s relations with other countries has been formed, the confidence and respect of the world community for the country has increased. This research article examines the regional partnerships of the East Kazakhstan and North Kazakhstan regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1991 to 2014 on the basis of archival data, documents in collections and analysis of scientific papers. The multifaceted partnerships of the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the regions, districts, border areas of the Republic of Kazakhstan distinguished by their importance and effectiveness are studied. Experience in this area shows that such a partnership in foreign policy allows for the full realization of relations, especially in the economic and social spheres. Through such cooperation, it will be possible to deepen interstate relations on the basis of mutual benefit. It will be possible to identify the specifics and bilateral needs of the regions, and further establish contacts on a regular basis. Thus, the purpose of all agreements with foreign countries concluded since the beginning of the 90s of the XX century in economic, cultural, health, education, science and other areas was to involve all regions of Kazakhstan in this relationship. Such activities take into account the provision of cooperation and exchange of experience with countries that have developed through high technical development

Labor clauses in trade agreements: Hidden protectionism?

We explore the impact of the introduction and design of labor clauses (LCs) in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on bilateral trade flows over the period 1990–2014. While it is not a priori clear if the inclusion of LCs in PTAs will decrease or increase bilateral trade, we expect the direction of trade to matter, that is, we expect to observe the (negative or positive) impact of LCs in the South-North trade configuration. We also expect, in that configuration, stronger LCs to yield stronger (negative or positive) effects on bilateral trade flows. Using a novel dataset on the content of labor provisions in PTAs, we find in line with our first expectation that while the introduction of LCs has on average no impact on bilateral trade flows, it increases exports of low and middle-income countries with weaker labor standards in North–South trade agreements. Consistent with our second expectation, this positive impact is mostly driven by LCs with institutionalized cooperation provisions. In contrast, LCs with strong enforcement mechanisms do not have a statistically significant impact on exports of developing countries in North–South PTAs. The results are inconsistent with the ideas that LCs are set for protectionist reasons or have protectionist effects, casting doubt on the logic for the reluctance of many developing countries to include LCs in their trade agreements.

Assessment of military preparedness for naturogenic threat: the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic

Circumstances for Committing Crimes in the Banking Sector: Normative and Legal Aspect

The historical way of the development of banking business and the state of its legislative provision, which had an impact on criminal behavior in this area, has been studied. It has been noticed that the responsible officials of banking institutions, due to their high level of education, skillfully used gaps or contradictions in the legislation for the useful purposes of illegal enrichment. They quickly adapt to amendments in normative and legal regulation and invent new schemes of criminal technology.
 The key factors in the situation of committing crimes in the presented area are: search for opportunities for criminal enrichment by using existing powers; conspiracy of officials of commercial banks with representatives of supervisory agencies (curators from some units of the National Bank of UKraine) in order to cover up criminal activity; development of a plan of financial fraud with representatives of commercial organizations in order to steal the entrusted funds and their further legalization. Typically, such criminal “associations” try to have long-term relationships under the guise of corrupt relations with supervisors and banking secrecy in order to systematically generate illicit proceeds. In case of the risk of detecting criminal schemes, the banking institution may be brought to bankruptcy, which is used as the method to hide traces of criminal activity.
 Analysis of the impact of regulatory factor in the context of committing economic crimes in the banking sector is a perspective and relevant area of further research. In this regard, the development of the doctrine of forensic forecasting in conditions of instability of processes in the economy in its individual segments (lending, currency regulation), weak control over the conduct and accounting of banking transactions, etc. is of great importance.
 Equally important is the development of cooperation between law enforcement agencies involved in the fight against crime in the banking sector, with the units of the National Bank, the State Fiscal Service and financial monitoring; the improvement of the methodology of conducting certain types of examinations, etc. Provisions for such cooperation are enshrined in law and are in force, but some need to be revised in the light of central government reforms.

The provincial governments are facing lots of challenge including resource, proper policies, devolution of power and bureaucratic accountability and lack of intra-provincial coordination. The constitution stands on tri-pillar theory (cooperation, coexistence and coordination) to operate the holding together federalism in Nepal. In this article, an empirical facts and field observation of Gandaki Province have been analyzed. The writer argues that other provinces throughout the country have been facing the similar kinds of problems. During the writing, the facts were collected by inter and intrapersonal relations with the civil servants, provincial assembly members and various interaction programs with provincial stakeholders. But the core study area is Gandaki Province. The major finding of this study is that provincial cooperation and coordination is an essential factor to implementing federalism in Nepal. If the provinces failed to cooperate with federal government as well as intra-provincial government, federalism is hardly likely to sustain in Nepal.

REGIONALISM AS A DIRECTION IN THE MARITIME POLICY OF UKRAINE: THE UPDATING OF LEGAL REGULATION

ARCHITECTURE OF THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A CHAIN OF RESOURCE SUPPORT FOR SELF-DEVELOPMENT OF A REGION: METHODICAL APPROACH

Topicality. Today's requirements and management of socio-economic development of regions require new approaches to self-development and self-sufficiency of territories. One of the important ways to implement this task is the regional and interregional distribution of resources. In the process of such distribution, the functioning of all major processes (subprocesses, chains, links, operations) involved in the reproduction of the regional social product is improved. That is why the next of the research on this issue should be built from the standpoint of developing theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of the resource chain of the region on the basis of socio-ethical concept. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop the structure of the chain of resource provision of regional and interregional responsible cooperation based on the socio-ethical concept of marketing. Research results. This scientific article proposes the structure of the chain of resource provision of regional and interregional responsible cooperation, which includes marketing, production, regional and sectoral levels. Based on the above, an enlarged structure of the supply chain at the regional and interregional levels based on the socio-ethical concept of marketing. Within the concept of socio-ethical marketing, this chain increases the social responsibility of producers and other participants, ensures the greening of the environment. In addition, this structure of resource supply chains takes into account the concepts of low- or zero-waste technologies and the possibility of obtaining additional production. The market of meat and meat products is an illustration of the practical implementation of the proposed structure. An additional production in this chain is the production of pet food. Conclusion. A methodical approach to the development of an enlarged structure of the chain of resource provision of regional and interregional responsible cooperation on the basis of self-sufficiency and self-development of regions is proposed. The main criteria for this construction are: maximizing value added and expanded reproduction of trade. This approach to building a chain of resources for self-development of the region increases the social responsibility of its participants.
