THE ESSENCE OF INSTITUTIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL GUARANTEES FOR A JUDGE IMMUNITY

The article is devoted to the definition of the essence of institutional administrative and legal guarantees for a judge immunity, on this basis the definition of promising areas in current administrative and legal legislation development. There is used an approach that administrative and legal guarantees are a specific concept of legal means, methods and conditions which, being applied, allow to ensure a certain state of public relations. Being in their “potential” state also has a protective effect, which can be described as preventive. In the course of the research, institutional administrative and legal guarantees of a judge’s inviolability were identified: impossibility to detain or to be kept in detention or arrest a judge without the consent of the High Council of Justice (paragraph 1, part 1, Article 49 of the Law of Ukraine “On Judiciary and Status of Judges”); impossibility to bring a judge to legal responsibility for the adopted decision (paragraph 2, part 1 of Article 49 of the said Law); the impossibility of using a pretext or forcible delivery to a judge, except for the pretext or bringing it to court (Part 3 of Article 49 of this Law); the presence of a special subject of notification of suspicion of committing a criminal offense – only the Prosecutor General of Ukraine or his deputy (Part 4 of Article 49 of this Law); establishment of exhaustive terms of removal of a judge from the administration of justice in connection with criminal prosecution (Part 5 of Article 49 of the said Law); establishment of a special subject of an application for obtaining a court permit to carry out operativesearch or investigative actions against a judge – the Prosecutor General of Ukraine or his deputy, the head of the regional prosecutor’s office or his deputy (Part 9 of Article 49 of this Law); establishment of special rules of jurisdiction of consideration of cases concerning accusation, application of operative-search or investigative actions, precautionary measures against a judge (part 10 of Article 49 of the said Law); determination of a special subject of liability for damage caused by a court – the state (Part 11 of Article 49 of this Law). It is substantiated that the implementation of institutional guarantees of the immunity of a judge is a necessary condition for the proper implementation of all institutional principles of the judiciary. Regarding some principles, these guarantees are a direct factor in their implementation (including the principles of independence, impartiality, justice, rule of law). It is proved that the institutional administrative and legal guarantees of a judge immunity do not have the features of a legal institution in full sense, and therefore they cannot be characterized as a legal institution. However, they have a certain integrity and specificity, as well as a relationship. The legal relations arising in connection with the implementation of these guarantees are characterized by a certain homogeneity, in particular with regard to their object – ensuring the inviolability of a judge. Therefore, the complex nature of institutional administrative and legal guarantees of judges immunity, of guarantees as a separate legal phenomenon is pointed out.

FUNCTIONAL BASIS OF ACTIVITIES OF SUBJECTS SOCIAL SECURITY

The purpose of the article is to determine the system of functioning of social security entities on the basis of doctrinal approaches. The article analyzes the theoretical approaches to understanding the functions of subjects in the field of public safety. Generalizations are made, the corresponding classification of key functions is carried out. It is established that the functions of subjects in the field of social security should be divided into: 1) main or basic functions - ie material, which determine the object of public safety, ie social relations in a particular area of human activity and determine ways to influence them; 2) secondary or derivatives, which include those that are determined by the very legal status of a subject in the field of public safety. It is concluded that the law-making function means the issuance of regulations of various legal nature to establish formal rules and procedures for ensuring public safety in a particular sector of the economy. These acts are binding acts, the content of which is to comply with safety rules in these areas and differs on the basis of the peculiarities of application and the actual signs of influence on the state of public relations. The law-making function is expressed in ensuring public safety, through the issuance of acts, based on monitoring and coordination in this area. The operational and executive function is to ensure public safety by means of exercising powers in the field of sectoral public security. This function is formed due to two activities to ensure public safety. The operational component is defined as responding to various types of threats and dangers of public safety. Executive, in turn, means strict compliance with the law on public safety, which is the responsibility of the relevant public safety entity.

Institutionalizing Public Relations: An International Multiple-Case Study

In a reflection on the state of public relations, James Grunig said that “a major task remains … in institutionalizing strategic public relations as actual practice in most organizations” (2006, p. 171). His assumption was that organizational public relations too often depend not on established or enduring standards of effectiveness, but on the presumptions of public relations executives and the senior managers who are in charge at any given time. Frequently, when one managerial regime leaves the entity and is replaced by another, within a short period of time the public relations program looks entirely different than before the change. Grunig cited research by Yi, which indicated that any institutionalization of public relations that may currently exist is that of buffering organizations against outside pressures, rather than the more essential bridging or linkage activities that, in the long run, make organizations more successful. This article, then, represents an exploratory qualitative examination of 6 organizations where there was a turnover of senior public relations executives. The study determines whether the public relations programs changed after the turnover—and, if so, why the changes occurred. The article also assesses whether these cases provide insight for the field as a whole toward making strategic public relations more enduring in organizations.

Public Relations as a Maturing Discipline: An Update on Research Networks

Pasadeos, Renfro and Hanily (1999) investigated the public relations literature's most-cited works in the 1990s and identified research networks. In the present study we expand that work by examining public relations scholarship ten years later. We identify current authors and their publication outlets, taxonomize most-cited works, and draw a co-citation network. Further, we compare current findings with those of ten years earlier and speculate on the state of public relations as a scholarly discipline.

The state of public relations in Singapore

The public relations (PR) industry in Singapore is presently in a state of transition. A recent survey reveals that while many of the industry practices are still limited within the scope of media relations, print production, event organization and promotions, there is a growing realization among practitioners for the need to provide higher profile activities related to issues development, strategic planning and image management. The latter activities reflect the trend that the PR industry in Singapore is maturing towards at the agency, private, and public sectors. Findings in the survey indicated that both the agencies and end-users emphasised the need for more training in, and greater usage of services ranging from investor relations to community relations to research (survey). A notable development which lends support to the emerging trend in the PR industry is the Singapore government's push towards the regionalisation of local companies in building the country's external economy. Yeap Soon Beng is a lecturer at the School of Communication Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is also a council member of the executive committee of the Institute of Public Relations in Singapore, which has given him permission to use data from a survey which was conducted by a local research firm.

PR: The State of Public Relations in Academic Libraries

eecher' s statement is particularly true in the United States, yet our libraries today are beset ~!!i.§~ by the same budget shortages that threaten many other vital public service agencies. Faced with financial woes, librarians have joined representatives from other types of institutions across the nation in telling their stories through public relations (PR) as a means for increasing public awareness of and support for their services. A review of the literature on library . PR suggests that public libraries adopted this response to financial problems long before academic libraries.2 However, no surveys have been conducted to gather statistics that would support or refute this assumption. In 1979library PR consultant Alice Norton found only three college libraries with full-time PR positions. This situation may have reflected legislative restrictions against funding PR positions or campus structures assigning responsibility for academic library PR to existing public information offices. In 1981 Sally Brickman cited three reasons for academic libraries to reach out for public attention: (1) to inform users about collections and services; (2) to demystify academic libraries and make them more user-friendly; and (3) to generate funding to meet the skyrocketing price of books and journals during a period of budget cutbacks. Libraries are often considered the heart of the university. Even so, many campus communities are unaware of their library's resources and fail to challenge its potential. 7 Citing the combined need to provide better user information, to build a positive image, and to project that image to users and potential support groups, Carroll urges academic libraries to join the communications era of the 1980s. To fill the information gap surrounding library PR programs, a survey was conducted to characterize and determine the scope of the current state of academic library PR. Forty-eight library directors at universities with student enrollments of nine to twelve thousand were surveyed. A
