The aim of the investigation was to determine the most appropriate avenues for further implementation of the European concept of anti-corruption. To carry out this article, general and special research methods have been applied, such as systems analysis, dialectical, formal logical and structural functional methods, as well as a series of empirical methods. Statistical analysis has been used to demonstrate anti-corruption measures, undertaken in 2016 - 2020. The anti-corruption mechanism has been analyzed through the prism of combined institutional and instrumental systems, with the aim of preventing corruption. The priorities for transforming the anti-corruption mechanism have been defined as follows: (a) increased accountability for corruption offences; (b) introduction and appropriate application of corruption detection tools. It is concluded that the current trend demonstrates a decline in the implementation of anti-corruption preventive tools in Ukraine due to the following factors: change of the vector of public interest towards compliance with anti-Covid-19 measures, destabilization of authority and lack of collaboration between authorized subjects in solving corruption problems.

SUMMARY Interest in developing and using novel biomarkers in critical care and perioperative medicine is increasing. Biomarkers studies are often presented with flaws in the statistical analysis that preclude them from providing a scientifically valid and clinically relevant message for clinicians. To improve scientific rigor, the proper application and reporting of traditional and emerging statistical methods (e.g., machine learning) of biomarker studies is required. This Readers’ Toolbox article aims to be a starting point to nonexpert readers and investigators to understand traditional and emerging research methods to assess biomarkers in critical care and perioperative medicine.

Purpose – The liberalization of European telecommunications has been expressed in highly concentrated markets with several major players at the pan-European level. Instead of fostering competitive marketplaces, the reform has created an oligopolistic landscape with powerful private corporations. This induces reasonable questions about the real objectives and the chosen ways of the reform. Methodology/approach/design – The deregulatory movement in the telecommunications sector is analyzed through contrasting perspectives of the public interest approach and public choice theory. Findings – The chance to change the landscape of the industry has been missed, and the current trend towards the global oligopolistic marketplace yields an unprecedented amount of economic power to narrow groups at the global scale. The liberalization movement introduced market mechanisms in the industry, but the real free and open market has never been formed, and it is possible to assert that it has never been among the real objectives and intentions of the policymakers. Originality/value – The recent surge of “liberalization” in the telecommunications industry speaks rather in favor of the hypothesis of vested private interests in the policy and that they have always been greatly covered by the sauce of public interest justifications. The case of telecommunications shows that ideas and understanding of economic phenomena played an important role in adoption of regulatory regimes, and it is apparent that people on the top of the social pyramid have opportunities to pick up and foster those ideas that better fit their private needs.

Empirical Research Methods

This chapter investigates how researchers create knowledge in criminology. It covers two themes: first, the empirical research methods used in the discipline, and how understanding and knowledge of crime can be developed by applying, analysing, and evaluating criminological information. Secondly, the chapter discusses how this knowledge and understanding is influenced by the three important and interlinking factors of subjectivity (personal and disciplinary perspectives and opinions), supposition (guesswork, assumption), and study (for example, scholarship and conducting empirical and other types of research). ‘Empirical methods’ are the generation of evidence through (sensory) experience, particularly using experiments and observations. The chapter looks at the different research methods available to criminologists, covering both primary and secondary sources.

This study was conducted to investigate two clinical types of masticatory muscles parafunction: teeth compression and teeth grinding using clinical and functional methods. Teeth compression and teeth grinding were found to have a common tooth compression symptom. Our finding has been proven not only through clinical, yet via electromyographic and axiographic research methods as well. Based on the obtained data we developed a palatal plate-occlusal guard. It enables to fix reliably the lower jaw and reduces muscle tension. The proposed appliance helps prevent possible complications that occur in the course of orthopedic treatment.

Tujuan penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah untuk mengkaji pengaturan terkait kepemilikan tanah di Indonesia oleh orang asing melalui perjanjian nominee dan upaya penegakan hukumnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Hasil dari penulisan karya ilmiah ini ialah penegakan hukum terhadap praktek kepemilikan tanah oleh orang asing melalui perjanjian nominee dapat dilakukan oleh kejaksaan selaku organ negara yang mewakili kepentingan publik, baik melalui sarana perdata maupun pidana. Hal ini perlu dilakukan guna melindungi tanah Indonesia dimiliki oleh orang asing dan guna mendukung upaya negara mewujudkan tugas konstitusionalnya, yakni menguasai tanah bagi sebesar-besarnya kesejahteraan rakyat tanpa harus memberikan ketidakadilan bagi Warga Negara Asing. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to examine regulations related to land ownership in Indonesia by foreigners through nominee agreements and law enforcement efforts. The research method used is normative legal research methods using statute and conceptual approaches. The result of writing this scientific paper is that law enforcement against the practice of land ownership by foreigners through nominee agreements can be carried out by the prosecutor as the state organ representing the public interest, both through civil and criminal means. This needs to be done in order to protect Indonesian land owned by foreigners and to support the state's efforts to realize its constitutional duties, namely to control the land for the maximum welfare of the people without having to give injustice to foreign citizens.

The mining industry continues to be an important sector of the Ghanaian economy, contributing to the foreign exchange, employment and socioeconomic development after the colonial period. The current trend of mining operations requires greater skills and technical knowledge because they involve sophisticated machines, dangerous chemicals and explosive mechanisms, underground operations etc. Accidents in the mines just like any occupational accident may lead to deaths, injuries, disabilities and financial losses. One of the ways of improving occupational knowledge and skills is to acquire some level of understanding of accident causation mechanism. An analytical technique which will form the basis for accident and injury epidemiological studies is therefore necessary to ensure operational safety improvement. A retrospective statistical analysis of accidents in eight gold mining companies was undertaken through measures of association, hypothesis testing, trend analysis and predictive measurements. The results of the study indicate that 20% of accident cases resulted in deaths, 30% were serious and 50% minor accidents. Underground mining increases the risk fatal accident by 1.46, morning shift increases the risk of fatal accident by 4.81 and being a contract miner increases the risk of fatal accident by 1.05. The part of body injured can predict the degree of injury by reducing the error of prediction by 40.2%. Since proportion of accident fatalities increases with increasing age of miners, it is recommended that miners with higher age should not be task with high risk jobs. It is recommended again that, miners should be given improved protective clothes to guide against occurrences of fatal incidents. Especially, clothes to cover the head and upper part of the body since they top the fatality chart and the fact that fatality is strongly associated with body part. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0720/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
