Occupational morbidity caused by physical overloads and certain organs and systems being overstrained ranks second among occupational pathologies depending on an influencing adverse occupational factor. Given that, it seems vital and promising to develop industrial exoskeletons as they are able to protect a worker’s musculoskeletal system from excessive physical loads. And absence of a relative regulatory and technologic base is a challenge here as it imposes substantial limitations on industrial exoskeletons implementation in productions both in Russia and in other countries. A significant role in creating regulatory and technological base belongs to a possibility to accomplish an objective medical and biological examination of industrial exoskeletons safety and physiological efficiency. Developed and properly tested procedures for examining physiological and ergonomic properties of industrial exoskeletons will make a substantial contribution into a system of complex ergonomic tests accomplished at stages when exoskeletons are developed, created, and put into trial operation. The present paper dwells on up-to-date medical and biological procedures for examining safety and physiological efficiency of industrial exoskeletons. There are examples on using a «movement seizure» procedure performed with inertial sensors, ergospirometry, electromyography, and myotonometry for estimating physiological and ergonomic properties of industrial exoskeletons at a modeled working place. Results obtained via this research involving all the above mentioned procedures confirmed that it was safe and quite efficient to apply industrial exoskeletons for workers who had to deal with physical labor when performing work tasks similar to those used in developed models. Applied procedures can substantially enhance approaches to examining a worker’s functional state and obtained results will make a significant contribution into development of a regulatory and technological base for promising individual protection means used to protect the musculoskeletal system within the existing System of occupational safety standards.

A significant role in ensuring industrial safety in terms of protecting the interests of the employees personality belongs to the occupational safety, which is directly related to the system of preserving the life and health of the employees in the course of the work activities. Occupational morbidity associated with the effect of physical overload and overstrain of individual organs and systems occupies the second rank position in the structure of occupational pathology depending on the harmful production factor. In this regard, the current and promising direction is the development of industrial exoskeleton technologies that can protect the musculoskeletal system of an employee from excessive physical activity. At the same time, the problem that creates significant restrictions on the introduction of industrial exoskeletons in industries, both in Russia and in other countries, is the lack of an appropriate regulatory-technical base. Using the example of the activity of F48 Committee «Exoskeletons and exosuits» of ASTM, the results of the work of foreign experts in the field of standardization are presented, and the main problematic issues are highlighted. Approaches to this problem in the Russian Federation are shown, where industrial exoskeletons can represent a promising type of personal protective equipment for the musculoskeletal system, the use of which is aimed at reducing the negative influence of a harmful production factor — the severity of the labor process. It is established that when developing the regulatory-technical base regulating testing and operation of industrial exoskeletons, it is necessary to combine the efforts of specialists in the technical and biomedical profile, developers, potential consumers and representatives of the scientific and research organizations, while focusing on existing domestic developments, as well as taking into account foreign experience.

This paper tries to describe a historical development on Madrasah education system in Bangladesh. Bangladesh or formerly known as Eats Pakistan has significant contribution in spreading Islam in Asia. In education level, this major role played by thousands of Madrasah (state or private) in Bangladesh. While some people argued that the alumni of the Madrasah are inferior to the alumni of Western education institutions, the history proved that the alumni of Madrasah have substantial contribution in creating Muslim scholars not only expertise in religious teaching but also in secular sciences. This analysis also expected to be a role model in comparing Madrasah education system in Indonesia.

Introduction: the paper is devoted to the study of legal mechanisms in the area of public procurement, which can ensure the protection of the public interest and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Modern international law requires that the public procurement regulations include the standards for the protection of fundamental human rights. There are serious loopholes in the Russian procurement legislation regarding the application of human rights protection standards in the performance of contractual obligations. For this purpose, the author reveals the hierarchy of interests of all the subjects of legal relations in the area of procurement and the main ways of violations of human rights and the public interest. By means of methods of scientific knowledge, first of all, comparative jurisprudence, the system of public procurement in comparison with the contract system of the USA was considered. The paper also uses specific methods of scientific knowledge, including: system-structural, formallogical, as well as special legal methods of normative interpretation. Results: it is pointed out that the lowest-price competition often encourages States to support unscrupulous contractors who violate the fundamental human rights, fail to comply with the occupational safety standards and pay low wages. In particular, in Russia, the law does not allow obliging customers to only enter into a contract with those procurement participants who are ready to ensure compliance with the labor rights. In such a situation, human rights could only be protected by ensuring transparency in the procurement process. In turn, achieving transparency of procurement is only possible with the use of digital technologies. Conclusions: according to the results of the study, it should be assumed that the current procurement rules in Russia at each stage need to be improved in terms of filling in the loopholes in the human rights procurement standards aimed at ensuring respect for fundamental human rights. The active use of IT-technologies is required for the development and implementation of self-executing agreements in a single information system.

For the first time in over a hundred years, the world faces a devastating pandemic. Millions have been infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 virus and thousands have died. Unprecedented global shortages of protective equipment have resulted in the infection and death of healthcare workers. The legal and ethical duty of a doctor to treat during a pandemic has evolved over time, shaped by legislation and ethical guidance following SARS and the September 11 terrorism attacks. A positive ethical obligation to treat is arguably outweighed by the inability to meet occupational safety standards and high risk of personal harm, in addition to a physician’s competing duties to future patients, their families and colleagues. Nevertheless, individuals who continue working should be acknowledged by society with accessible worker’s compensation, alternative accommodation, hazard pay and student debt forgiveness so that healthcare workers continue to serve patients, answering far beyond the call of duty.
