The challenges posed by the spread of coronavirus infection are global and affect almost all spheres of public life, including criminal justice. To minimize direct social communication, the possibilities of using remote legal procedures in criminal proceedings have been expanded. The legal procedure of pre-trial proceedings established in the Criminal Procedure Code in the part of the beginning of the pre-trial investigation turned out to be misfit to the conditions of continuous quarantine. The purpose of the article is to identify, describe and propose solutions to the problems of starting a pre-trial investigation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, to solve this problem, the article examines the existing problems of pre-trial investigation before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, taking into account domestic scientific experience, as well as current foreign practices to resolve this issue to study the possibility of adopting their best practices and implementing them in the legislation. In the process of research, such methods as the dialectical, structural-functional analysis, comparative-legal and historical method. It is necessary to emphasize the simplification of the procedure for reporting the detected signs of criminal offenses, which necessitates raising the professional level of law enforcement officers, as well as conducting large-scale information work among internet users.

Introduction. In the context of the growing epidemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, the Russian health system, for the first time in recent history, faced the need for large-scale mobilization and conversion of many existing hospitals into infectious diseases hospitals. At the same time, the composition of hospitalized patients has not been studied, and the availability of data on it is crucial for the organization and planning of medical care. Purpose of study. To study the composition of hospitalized patients with a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 from the point of view of their age, gender, the severity of the condition, the presence of pneumonia and concomitant diseases to optimize the planning and objectification of the assessment of the need for medical care in a hospital setting. Material and methods. The data was studied, and the analysis of hospitalizations of 1037 patients in the country’s largest repurposed infectious hospital for the treatment of patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 was carried out. Results. For the first time analyzed the main regularities of the formation of hospitalized patients, which characterize features of the disease and have a high prognostic value both from the point of view of organization of specialized medical care in stationary conditions and assess the need for diagnostic and diagnostic and treatment activities and their resource provision. It is established that adult patients of almost all age groups receive medical care in a hospital setting, but as the age increases, the need for hospitalization tends to increase. Conclusions. The severity of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is determined by their age and the presence of concomitant pathology, which is of important prognostic value from the point of view of optimal planning of this type of medical care.

The relevance of the article is that the construction of any system depends on probable connections that will stably and logically reflect its internal properties. This statement can also take place in the construction of a forensic characterization of criminal offenses against public order. After all, it is the correlations that exist between the individual elements of the studied category that are the basis of its most effective use by law enforcement officers. At the same time, it is necessary to determine the content of the relevant components of the forensic characteristics of the investigated group of illegal acts. After all, there are a large number of works of criminologists in this regard. The scientific article is devoted to the study of some aspects of the investigation of criminal offenses against public order. The peculiarities of forensic characteristics as an element of the methodology of investigation of a certain category of criminal offenses are considered. The author emphasizes that the filling of forensic characteristics of criminal offenses against public order must meet the needs of law enforcement agencies. That is, to be optimal and informative enough to be able to use information about specific elements of the studied category to achieve the objectives of the investigation. Based on the study of scientific sources, analysis of materials of criminal proceedings and questionnaires of law enforcement officers, we outlined the filling of the forensic characteristics of offenses against public order with the following components: the method of committing a crime; the subject of criminal encroachment; the circumstances of the crime; trace picture; the identity of the offender; the victim's identity. It is determined that the separation of these elements in addition to all of the above is also determined by their necessary search direction: the selection of typical components formulates the real possibilities of individual investigative versions during the investigation and allows more efficient various procedural actions.

A study has been mode of transport-controlled mass transfer-controlled to particles suspended in a stirred vessel. The motion of particle in a fluid was examined and a method of predicting relative velocities in terms of Kolmogoroff’s theory of local isotropic turbulence for mass transfer was outlined. To provide a more concrete visualization of complex wave form of turbulence, the concepts of eddies, of eddy velocity, scale (or wave number) and energy spectrum, have proved convenient. Large scale motions of scale contain almost all of the energy and they are directly responsible for energy diffusion throughout the stirring vessel by kinetic and pressure energies. However, almost no energy is dissipated by the large-scale energy-containing eddies. A scale of motion less than is responsible for convective energy transfer to even smaller eddy sires. At still smaller eddy scales, close to a characteristic microscale, both viscous energy dissipation and convection are the rule. The last range of eddies has been termed the universal equilibrium range. It has been further divided into a low eddy size region, the viscous dissipation subrange, and a larger eddy size region, the inertial convection subrange. Measurements of energy spectrum in mixing vessel are shown that there is a range, where the so called -(5/3) power law is effective. Accordingly, the theory of local isotropy of Kolmogoroff can be applied because existence of the internal subrange. As the integrated value of local energy dissipation rate agrees with the power per unit mass of liquid from the impeller, almost all energy from the impeller is viscous dissipated in eddies of microscale. The correlation for mass transfer to particles suspended in a stirred vessel is recommended. The results of experimental study are approximately 12 % above the predicted values.

Abstract There are two broad views as to why people stay poor. One emphasizes differences in fundamentals, such as ability, talent, or motivation. The other, the poverty traps view, emphasizes differences in opportunities which stem from access to wealth. To test between these two views, we exploit a large-scale, randomized asset transfer and an 11-year panel of 6,000 households who begin in extreme poverty. The setting is rural Bangladesh and the assets are cows. The data supports the poverty traps view—we identify a threshold level of initial assets above which households accumulate assets, take on better occupations (from casual labor in agriculture or domestic services to running small livestock businesses), and grow out of poverty. The reverse happens for those below the threshold. Structural estimation of an occupational choice model reveals that almost all beneficiaries are misallocated in the work they do at baseline and that the gains arising from eliminating misallocation would far exceed the program costs. Our findings imply that large transfers which create better jobs for the poor are an effective means of getting people out of poverty traps and reducing global poverty.

Abstract O. ficus-indica is highly valued as a fruit-producing cactus, also yielding 'leaves' that are used as a vegetable and browsed by livestock. It has been introduced widely from its native Mexico to almost all countries where the climate is suitable. The fruit is very rich in vitamin C and is exploited commercially in many areas. Many countries, especially in Asia, have recently established large-scale commercial plantations. However, O. ficus-indica, like several other species of Opuntia, have been known to spread and become invasive weeds. Historical records, however, appear to indicate a time-lag of about 100 years between introduction and the beginnings of invasive spread thus the actual risk may be low.

В статье проведен анализ существующей практики защиты имущественных интересов уголовно-исполнительной системы Российской Федерации при участии в уголовном процессе в качестве представителя потерпевшего, изложены рекомендации по улучшению данной работы с учетом особенностей сложившейся практики. Раскрываются особенности уголовно-процессуальной защиты на основе материалов территориальных органов и анализа дел указанной категории схарактеристикой эффективных решений иимеющихся проблем по защите имущественных интересов уголовно-исполнительной системы (далее - УИС), материалов практики защиты поуказанным вопросам, аналитических и статистических данных за 2018-2020 гг. Обращено внимание, чтона практике имеются сложности с определением размера возмещаемого ущерба и сроков исковой давности, а также с фактическим исполнением судебных решений овзыскании ущерба в связи с финансовой несостоятельностью должников. Важной проблемой по защите имущественных интересов остается отсутствие методики определения размера причиненного репутационного вреда органам иучреждениям уголовно-исполнительной системы Российской Федерации. Обеспечение своевременного допуска представителя органа илиучреждения УИС имеет существенное значение для защиты имущественных интересов, поскольку юридическое лицо получает фактическую возможность по отстаиванию своих законных интересов лишь смомента допуска представителя - физического лица. Автором определены направления работы должностных и иных заинтересованных лиц по реализации защиты имущественных интересов УИС при участии в уголовном процессе в качестве представителя потерпевшего. The article analyzes the existing practice of protecting the property interests of the Penal system of the Russian Federation when participating in criminal proceedings as a representative of the victim, and provides recommendations for improving this work, taking into account the features of the current practice. The article reveals the features of criminal procedure protection based on the materials of territorial bodies and the analysis of cases of this category with the characteristics of effective solutions and existing problems in protecting the property interests of the Penal system (hereinafter the FPS), materials of defense practice on these issues, analytical and statistical data for the period 2018-2020. Attention is drawn to the fact that in practice there are some peculiarities in determining the amount of damage to be compensated and the limitation period. Due to the financial insolvency of debtors in practice, there is a difficulty with the actual execution of court decisions on recovery of damages. An important problem in protecting property interests remains the lack of a methodology for determining the amount of reputational damage caused to the bodies and institutions of the Russian Federation's penal system. Ensuring the timely admission of a representative of a body or institution of a penal system is essential for the protection of property interests, since a legal entity gets the actual opportunity to defend its legitimate interests only from the moment of admission of a representative - an individual. The author defines the directions of work of officials and other interested persons to protect the property interests of the Penal system of the Russian Federation when participating in criminal proceedings as a representative of the victim.

The pandemic of the new coronavirus infection, which swept the entire world community in 2020, has made strong adjustments in almost all spheres of life, but first of all, in health care. The great majority of the medical staff at the onset of the pandemic had no clinical experience with the COVID-19 patients. In addition to the lack of practical skills in treatment for the period of the onset of mass infections, doctors faced great physical and emotional stress. The article provides a comparative analysis of the questionnaires results from among nursing staff in SRC Burnasyan FMBC in 2018 and 2020. The research results show that in the process of treatment and rehabilitation of pa- tients with COVID-19 in the professional motivation of doctors some changes took place towards personal motivation associated with serving and helping people.
