This study describes the bridal and funerary rite of exchanging clothes (Bes Kiyim – ‘Five Costumes’) in the context of the traditions and innovations in the Karakalpak culture. On the basis of fi eld data collected in 2014–2019 and earlier in places with a continuous or patchy distribution of the Karakalpak population (Chimbaysky, Karauzyaksky, Kegeyliysky, Nukussky, Khodzheyliysky, and the Takhiatashsky districts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Republic of Uzbekistan) and of earlier sources, changes in ritualism are analyzed. Bridal rites include exchanges of gifts, such as items of clothing. The comparison of sources shows that the Bes Kiyim rite originated in the mid-20th century in the context of socio-cultural changes. It has remained rather stable up to the present time, being an integral part of Karakalpak bridal ritualism. This indicates its importance in the normative culture of that ethnic group. In one district of Karakalpakstan, the term Bes Kiyim was transferred from the bridal to the funerary rituals. The origin of the rite relates to the transformation of the Iyis custom—the distribution of the deceased person’s clothing among those participating in the ablution of the body. In the late 20th century, specially purchased items of clothing began to be used for that purpose. Apparently, the fi ve items distributed among those participating in the rite symbolize the deceased person’s transition to the ancestors’ world. By the same token, the bride’s fi ve outfi ts allude to her passage to the category of married women and the beginning of her marital life. Therefore, the ritual innovations of the Karakalpaks, caused by socio-cultural and economic changes, mirror the logic and content of traditional family festivals whose complex symbolism relates to status change.

The analysis and assessment of regional characteristics of the preventive healthcare organization for children population in the Republic of Tatarstan were carried out within this research. It has revealed the major issues of prevention system in children healthcare in the Republic. Our goal was to develop and implement a set of measures on improvement of medical prevention in the system of children healthcare, and to evaluate their efficacy. The guidelines developed for preventive care in children have allowed us to create three-level model of preventive care for children in five main areas. The provision of medical, social, legal, psychological, and pedagogical care for children and adolescents (especially for children in difficult circumstances and/or socially dangerous situations) is one of the major issues for preserving the health of future generations in contrast to all socio-economic changes. This necessitates the creation of new forms, approaches, and mechanisms, as well as the development of measures on improvement of existing preventive technologies at the individual, group, and population levels via using information technologies.

AbstractIn Conakry, the capital city of the Republic of Guinea, dance ceremonies called sabars, derived from a Senegalese genre of the same name, have become extremely popular for wedding celebrations. Sabar's rise in Guinea coincided with the liberalization of the country's economy and the opening of national borders in the wake of state socialism (1958–84) – events that have produced profound uncertainty for average citizens. This article explores sabar as a practice that grapples affectively with the social and economic changes neoliberal reform has engendered within Guinea. Sabar ceremonies are characterized by instantiations of excess, including hypersexualized dancing, electric amplification and theatrical displays of opulence. By examining excess as an ‘emergent’ quality whose cultural value is undetermined, the article demonstrates how dancers participate in the active constitution and questioning of collective value in Conakry, and how embodiment is central to an anthropology of precarity.

The paper discusses the legal status, organization and activities of the Private Security Sector in the Republic of Serbia in the function of protection of persons, property and business. The introductory part talks about private security, which in developed countries has an enviable place in the security system. In countries in transition, private security has accompanied social and economic changes and has gained in importance in recent years. After the disintegration of the SFRY for a full twenty years, this sector was not legally regulated by the main law in Serbia, but general regulations were applied, which fragmentarily deal with the issue of FTO and regulate economic business, work and employment. In the second part, the central part, the most important international legal sources and solutions from our national framework are presented. At the end of 2013, the Law on Private Security and the Law on Detective Activity were adopted, as well as bylaws for their implementation. Adequate legal regulations in this area are especially important due to Serbia's application for EU accession and harmonization of regulations with EU law. The concluding part emphasizes the need for further harmonization of norms with the EU, building good practice and the need to strengthen the control and supervision of the private security sector by the state.

Development Prospects

One of the most relevant and acute problems of the modern legal science in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the creation of national probation model. As for today this element, without which it is just impossible to imagine any modern national system of penal justice, remains quite undeveloped in Kazakhstan and thereby attracts attention of scientists and practicians. Besides, probation is the integrated part of penal justice system of many countries and the result of democratic society development stipulated by almost two hundred years of probation issueselaboration. In the present paper authors set the task of finding out which elements should comprise probation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, defining its development prospects and analyzing positive economic changes in connection with probation introduction. Authors have studied existing legal framework to ground the necessity of introducing of thorough probation mechanism, which implies assurance of society security by correction of convicts and prevention of repeated criminal offences committed by them. It should be noticed that both – the criminal law and the criminal procedure in general – represent one large integral system. And up to date national policy deals with such a component of the system as humanization of punishment. It has been established that the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan has introduced a number of new types of criminal sanctions representing an alternative to deprivation of freedom and also provides the possibility of relief from enduring the punishment under conditions that guarantee the convict can mend without it. Authors mention the control for execution of such punishment types is imposed on penal inspection of the State penal service. Therefore, the additional loads on the penal inspection and reorientation of its activities to performance of social preventive functionsraise an issue aboutfeasibility of creation of probation service, which would have more legal and social powers and deal with the matters of convicts’ resocialization. Analysis of advanced European countries’ experience demonstrates the execution of alternative punishment types is carried out by specialized state service out of police and prison facilitiestheprobation service.

The paper considers some economic and legal aspects of the struggle for the public land in Late Republican Rome. This period is one of the most controversial in ancient history; it brought many significant changes to the socio-economic and political life of Rome and contributed much to its transformation from Republic to Principate. Nevertheless, there is no special paper examining the competition between the Romans and Italians for the ager publicus populi Romani which started with the agrarian reform of Tiberius Gracchus in modern historiography. The first episode ended after the enactment in 111 B.C. of the lex agraria, when a large amount of public land was brought into private hands by its Roman possessors. A further part of the ager publicus populi Romani was still public and remained in hands of the socii. The logic of historical process, the economic changes of the second century B.C. which led Rome from Republic to Principate, demanded the formation of a new class of landowners. The latter would be the basis of the political system of the Roman Empire instead of the nobilitas; its political power would be based on private ownership of land. This was impossible without the full privatization of public land, and it is logical that the struggle for the ager publicus populi Romani was not ended in 111 B.C. Only after privatization of that land, which was possessed by the allies, the agrarian question in Rome could be fully resolved. The latter problem is of crucial importance for the further history of Rome, because it not only caused the Social War but also radically changed both the social structure and the political balance within Roman society during the last decades of the Republic.
