In the current appendix present a first heuristic study about the scientific publications related to computer science and the human factors that make that some contents travel through highways and others in back roads of scientific information. We also present the first elements which generate that parallel information of the scientific work for financial and/or commercial reasons. Finally, a set of rhetoric questions link two decades of experiences in the university educational context, research and development (R&D) and Transfer of Technology (TOT) in the Mediterranean South and make up a first evaluation guide.

The article offers the research results on complex functions of the University scientific journal, as the institution of scientific-educational law. The category «University scientific journal» is proposed to be understood in the following contents. A university scientific journal is a variety of titles of periodical scientific publications (for example, journal, a bulletin, scientific notes) published by universities using their own organizational, material, financial and other resources, or in cooperation with other publishing houses, including scientific institutions. The main form of presentation of scientific information is articles of researchers and scientists. It is proved, that by their nature scientific journals have the multifunctional content. It is extrapolated to the set of many scientific tasks, and then to the educational and other functional activities of the University in accordance with the law. In this regard, scientific-educational law is considered as a route for a special part of such an integrated branch of law as information law. This allows determining the institutional components normatively, including the functions of the scientific journal of the University. They are proposed to be considered in the complex, interrelation, incorporation not only as part of the scientific and educational law, but also with other sub-branches of the special part of the information law and certain institutions of the latter. These institutes of information law are structured in its general and special parts. At the same time, it is proposed to consider the functions of the University scientific journal in system features. Consideration of the problems specified in the title of the publication topic focuses on legal components of the needs and interests of subjects of law, the ambiguity of understanding of the purpose of a scientific journal. Particular attention is paid to those that cause a conflict of interests between scientists, teachers, university managers, individual representatives of public administration bodies. This is relevant to those who perform administration, control, determine and implement State policy in the scientific and educational sphere of the country.

Structured Questionnaire

Abstract The monsoon onset is a critical event in the Bangladesh calendar, especially for the domestic agricultural sector. Providing information about the monsoon onset for the past, present, and future has potential benefit for a country so vulnerable to changes in climate. But, when does the monsoon start? To produce any scientific information about monsoon onsets, lengths, and withdrawals, we first need to apply a monsoon definition to our data. Choosing a scientific definition is not such a simple exercise in Bangladesh. Different definitions lead to different monsoon onsets and thereby also monsoon lengths. If a climate application aims to provide information about the monsoon onset, then we need to understand how the people who might use this information perceive the monsoon onset. We then need to understand how their perceptions compare with previous scientific work. In this study we carried out a structured questionnaire in six rural regions around Bangladesh and asked the local agriculturists how they defined the monsoon and when they thought it started. It turns out that the agriculturists and previous scientific publications do not necessarily agree. Our results do not undermine previous scientific work on the monsoon in Bangladesh, but they do carry an important message about how we should design, implement, and evaluate climate applications in Bangladesh that encompass the monsoon onset.

Purpose. To offer the reader the most relevant directions of research and development for criminological science and practice in very specific conditions of a higher educational institution, which, for a number of objective and subjective reasons, has become one of the most important institutions where criminological science can develop with sufficient efficiency. Methodology: dialectics, induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis. comparative legal and formal logical methods. Conclusions. 1. The current institutional mechanism for conducting criminological research and development in the Russian Federation (individual research, departmental criminological science of law enforcement bodies, criminology at universities) is quite intensive, but not quite always, with sufficient grounds, it changes. Moreover, without proper methodological and other necessary support. 2. The overwhelming majority of criminologists are currently combining educational and scientific work, which, without proper organizational and managerial adjustments, reduces the efficiency of their scientific and pedagogical activities. 3. For all the shortcomings of the university criminological science, there are also a number of its indisputable advantages (preferential planning from below, greater efficiency, maximum interest of the author in the implementation of the results obtained in practice). Scientific and practical significance. University criminological science, with its proper organization and self-organization, is most effective in comparison with other types of scientific research. This efficiency is both economic, political and organizational in nature, both in terms of social order and the assessment of the results obtained.
