When we talk about characteristics of Digital Humanities (DH), digital publishing certainly is a prominent domain to mention. Open access papers and books, blogging, collaborative writing, and digital editions have become deeply rooted in the DH, reflecting a self-confident culture of Open Science. The rational constitution of our writings, however, has received far less attention: How can we design digital publications that mirror epistemological implications of DH methods and the composition of our arguments and narratives better than current publishing formats? In this paper, I argue that the DH need formats that exceed traditional texts and their rather linear design. Digital publishing that provides (meta) data or remarks on applied methods as mere supplements would not be enough, too. Those elements are integral parts of a scholarly demonstration and they should be presented as such. They must be visible as constituents of our sense-making. We need media that depict the complex nature of data-driven research. Interlinked and multimodal digital publishing seems to lead in the right direction. I elaborate on this matter from a theoretical point of view by building on research on hypertext. I will also point to first successful attempts of implementation. Refining these approaches promises to facilitate the presentation of intricate sense-making in the DH.

This chapter, which concludes Shakespeare’s Moral Compass, finds that all six of Jonathan Haidt’s moral foundations – authority, loyalty, fairness, sanctity, care, and liberty – are registered in Shakespeare’s plays, but they do not function independently of each other. Rather, they form an interlocking set of principles which together we can call “Shakespeare’s Moral Compass”. These interlocking principles can coalesce to form positive or negative outcomes: the “Virtuous Circle” or the “Vicious Circle”. It argues that for all his undoubted complexity, there are four simple lessons that run through all of Shakespeare’s plays: first, there is always a choice, it is never too late to choose to do the right thing. Second, the responsibility ultimately stops with you, because there is no divine or cosmic justice that will otherwise intervene; accordingly do not expect rewards or recognition for your good deeds. Third, we should not write anyone off, but rather make an effort to understand where they coming from, and try to see things from their point of view, because empathy and compassion are better than hatred, both morally and consequentially. Fourth, if we feel hard done by or slighted by unfairness, mercy is better than revenge both morally and consequentially.

Proper judicial protection is an aggregate of legal norms, principles, doctrines that allow maximum guarantee for fair treatment of an administrative dispute, in particular, relating to expulsion of foreign nationals. Among basic means that guarantee a proper settlement of a dispute, one can name the right to appeal the act of public administration, the right to independence of a body, considering the case, the right to qualified legal assistance, competition, completeness of supervision. The author of the article reviews standings of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the legislation and practice of the USA, Great Britain, Germany and Russia on the issue of judicial protection of foreign nationals, deported from their territory. As a result of the analysis, the author outlines three models of the provided judicial protection: limited, selective and complete. Each model has its pluses and minuses, but from a theoretical point of view the best variant is a complete model of judicial protection.

This study aims to provide rationality regarding Donald Trump as a fake news aggregator. Donald Trump's leadership from 2017-2020 is controversial and created a massive wave of fake news. As a populist leader, he often issued statements that confused the public during his reign, causing people's trust in the Trump administration to decline. He made the statement not only on national television but also on social media. Social media is the right political communication funnel for any populist leader when it comes to audience reach. Donald Trump is an active user especially on Twitter and uses it to spread misinformation and disinformation to spread what he calls as a truth. Many statements make Donald Trump worthy of being called a fake news aggregator. This study uses a qualitative approach with the content analysis method. Thirty-two samples of Donald Trump's hoax statements that were examined found that the hoaxes spread by him were not limited to just one topic. This research has both theoretical and practical significance. From a theoretical point of view, this research contributes to the development of literature regarding the relationship between hoaxes and populist leaders. In practical terms, this literature contributes to understanding the characteristics of populists and how social media is used as a funnel to spread hoaxes.Keywords: Hoax; Donald Trump; Populism; social media; Twitter.

The analyses of Quoidbach et al. (2019) indicate that unhappy individuals are more likely to subsequently interact with others. From a theoretical point of view, this finding is contrary to most existing psychological studies on this matter. Motivated by these theoretically surprising findings, this commentary reports re-analyses of the openly available data of Quoidbach et al.’s study (2019). These re-analyses indicate that a statistically problematic control variable is responsible for this counterintuitive finding. Models reporting raw associations and including alternative control variables suggest that unhappy individuals are less likely to subsequently interact.To support the transparency and the trustworthiness of psychological science, I encourage further open science practices and suggest that reports of raw data and stepwise model results are more frequently reported.

The article is devoted to the analysis of legal aspects and basic principles of activity of personal peasant economy in Ukraine. The efficiency of creating such a form of management is also analyzed and attention is paid to the shortcomings in its legal regulation. Based on the legislative definition of personal economic, the article formulated proposals for the legal regulation of their activities. Peculiarities of the right to use land plots as a basis for personal farming are given. The maximum allowable area of land used by personal farms has been identified. Emphasis is placed on cases of increasing this size from a practical and theoretical point of view. The purpose of this article is to analyze the activities of personal farming. Analyze aspects of land lease, eliminate shortcomings in legislation and make proposals to address issues. The authors concluded why the owners of private farms violate the law and illegally exceed the maximum size of land for farms of this organizational and legal form. Given that members of the personal peasant economy abuse the advantages provided by the state to carry out such activities, attention is paid to the moment of transition of the personal peasant economy to the farm. Aspects of taxation of the personality of peasant farms are analyzed and the possibility of reduction to privileged categories at transformation in a farm is offered. The legal aspects of renting private farms are also studied. Based on the analysis of indicators of lease of farms of this organizational and legal form, we provide proposals for the regulation of regulations on issues related to aspects of the activities and development of personal farms and the institution of lease.

В статье предпринята попытка обоснования комплексной природы уголовно-исполнительного права. Критикуется господствующая в научной и учебной литературе точка зрения на самостоятельный и оригинальный характер данной отрасли. Показывается, что отрасль уголовно-исполнительного права имеет прямую генетическую связь с уголовным правом. Отмечается, что уголовно-правовое отношение носит длящийся характер. Исполнение наказания представляет собой сочетание материальных и процедурных отношений. При этом материальная их составляющая - это и есть реализация норм уголовного права, определяющих виды и содержание наказаний. Немаловажное значение имеют общие нормы о целях наказания, предопределяющие фактор положительного поведения осужденного в контексте его исправления. В статье опровергаются имеющиеся точки зрения ученых, критикующих отнесение уголовно-исполнительного права к комплексным отраслям. В качестве базовой модели комплексной отрасли права в правовой теории берется обоснованная концепция комплексных отраслей, предложенная на рубеже 1980-90-х гг. известным теоретиком права В. Н. Протасовым. В противоположность основным отраслям комплексная отрасль «собирается» для решения строго определенных, общественно значимых задач, что связано с возрастанием в праве системного начала. Таким образом, комплексная отрасль права - это целостная правовая система, искусственно сконструированная для решения значимых общественных задач посредством объединения нормативного материала различной отраслевой принадлежности. Уголовно-исполнительное право вполне отвечает этим критериям. Называются основные нормативные компоненты данной отрасли, к которым относятся нормы, имеющие уголовно-правовую, административно-правовую, конституционно-правовую природу. В совокупности они регулируют отношения, возникающие при исполнении уголовного наказания, оказывая на них эффективное комплексное воздействие. The article considers the complex nature of criminal Executive Law. The author criticizes the prevailing point of view in scientific and educational literature on the independent and original nature of this industry. It is shown that the branch of criminal Executive Law has a direct, genetic connection with criminal law. It is indicated that the criminal law relationship is of a continuing nature. The execution of a sentence itself is a combination of material and procedural relations. At the same time, their material component is the implementation of the norms of criminal law that determine the types and content of punishments. Of no small importance are the General rules on the purposes of punishment, which determine the factor of positive behavior of the convicted person in the context of his correction. The article refutes the existing points of view of scientists who criticize the attribution of criminal Executive law to complex branches. The basic model of the complex branch of law in legal theory is based on the well-founded concept of complex branches, proposed at the turn of the 1980s and 90s by the famous legal theorist V. N. Protasov. In contrast to the main industries, the complex industry «gathers» to solve strictly defined, socially significant tasks, which is associated with an increase in the right of the system principle. Thus, a complex branch of law is an integral legal system that is artificially designed to solve significant social problems by combining normative material of various branches of law. Criminal enforcement law fully meets these criteria. The main regulatory components of this industry are called, which include norms that have a criminal, administrative, and constitutional nature. Together, they regulate the relations that arise during the execution of criminal penalties, exerting an effective, comprehensive impact on them.

Abstract: Under the royalist model - which perpetuated the right of patronage and the Catholicism condition as the official religion of the Brazilian Empire - the clergy and laity who entered the new constitutional phase, occupying a prominent place in the representative sphere, discussed plural issues, including the theme of ""religious freedom", differently treated by representatives of the regalist and ultra-mountain Catholicism. Considering the historicity behaved for appropriation of the doctrines and the institutionalized practices that structure the religious field, this article analyzes a particular controversy, which polarized regalists and ultramountinists in the regency period: the arrival of Protestants in Brazil. It particularly examines the publications of two ultra-mountain publicist priests who stood out as the main opposition to the arrival of Methodists in Brazil: Luis Gonçalves dos Santos - nicknamed "Father Perereca"- and William Paul Tilbury, English priest who had emigrated to Brazil and here changed his name to Guilherme Paulo Tilbury. From a theoretical point of view, it relies on the pertinence of Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical tools, when dealing with the configuration of the "religious field" in Brazil in the first half of the nineteenth century, revealing the nature of disputes over symbolic capital, interwoven with alternative models of the relationship between State and Church.

The use of high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) to determine the atomic structure of grain boundaries and interfaces is a topic of great current interest. Grain boundary structure has been considered for many years as central to an understanding of the mechanical and transport properties of materials. Some more recent attention has focussed on the atomic structures of metalsemiconductor interfaces which are believed to control electrical properties of contacts. The atomic structures of interfaces in semiconductor or metal multilayers is an area of growing interest for understanding the unusual electrical or mechanical properties which these new materials possess. However, although the point-to-point resolutions of currently available HREMs, ∼2-3Å, appear sufficient to solve many of these problems, few atomic models of grain boundaries and interfaces have been derived. Moreover, with a new generation of 300-400kV instruments promising resolutions in the 1.6-2.0 Å range, and resolutions better than 1.5Å expected from specialist instruments, it is an appropriate time to consider the usefulness of HREM for interface studies.

The article provides theoretical analysis and evaluation of the timber auctions reforms in Russia. The author shows that the mechanism of the "combined auctions", which functioned until recently, is more appropriate from the theoretical point of view (and from the point of view of the Russian practice) as compared to the officially approved format of the English auction.
