The article presents a study of methods and criteria for comprehensive assessment of modern design decisions in the architecture of orthodox churches. The topicality of the research work is determined by the need to improve the efficacy of decisions made by architects when designing church buildings, as well as by the need to enhance the quality of modern orthodox church design. The research methods employed include, among other things, a review of the legal framework applicable to church architecture design. In addition, the work examines the scientific and methodological foundations of an integrated approach to the evaluation of civil architecture and explores issues in the development of formalized methods aimed at establishing the historical and cultural value of buildings. The author provides arguments in support of the need to develop a methodology for evaluating orthodox church design decisions, including orthodox church value characteristics and assessment criteria.

Purpose This study aims to discover the motive for the time-to-time Hellenic collective capitalists’ intervention in the total circulation of capital of public works throughout the relative legislative framework. Thus the study attempts an original correlation of statistical indicators of Hellenic Statistical Authority with the legislative texts. Design/methodology/approach The Hellenic truth is that the branch of public works presents a peculiarity as far as the volume and quality of statistical facts and figures are concerned. To overcome this obstacle, this study analyzed the change of time series, relating the procedure of total circulation of contracting capital involved in public works with the content of the relative legislative rules which were applied during the period of 1958-2004 and their preambles. In this way, the annual volume of the constructional product in general is directly related with the particular characteristics that define the procedure of total circulation of the contracting capital in general. Findings The directly relation between the annual volume of the constructional Product in general and the particular characteristics that define the procedure of total circulation of the contracting capital in general, leads us to conclusions which, related with the policy and practices adopted by the collective capitalist, confirm or even set off eventual failures of respective conclusions drawn according to the prevailing concept. Originality/value By introducing the technique, the aim of this research work is achieved without reproducing the method of study and the conclusions of other researchers.

Food, shelter and clothing are very basic needs of human beings. Cloths are used by the human beings to protect themselves from light, wind and rain and other environmental factors. Cloths are manufactured from the cotton. In spinning mill industry raw cotton is processed to produce yarn. At present condition quality and productivity of yarn is very important factor and lot of mills failing to achieve the quality as per standards due to this the spinning mills are in financial crisis. In India many spinning mills have stopped their production. So it has direct impact on economical condition of farmers, mill workers and the people who are connected directly or indirectly to spinning mill industry. As it’s affecting the life of many people it is very important to do research work in this field but still now this topic is not touched by researchers in large context. This is the reason why this research work initiated. Various continuous improvements processes are used in industries. Instead of applying single method at one time if we use two methods in integrated approach which compliments each other that will give benefits of both methods in single attempt. To achieve the fine quality of yarn the continuous improvement processes can be used like Six Sigma and Theory of Constraints. If we combine six sigma and theory of constraints and apply over a system as an integrated method that would give us benefits of both methodologies in single attempt with saving of time, money and man power and in results we can achieve fine quality of yarn with increased plant productivity and efficiency which will leads to profitability of mill. In this research by applying the integrated model bottleneck processes were found out and optimum solution is provided by doing improvements in processes. The process capability analysis was done before and after improvements done so we can measure the performance of system. Yarn properties such as unevenness, imperfection index, count variation, hairiness, strength, short fiber content are considered as parameters to measure effectiveness of system. In current system before improvements done there was lot of variation in values of this parameters and by reducing this variations integrated approach leads towards the profitability of spinning mill.

Design patterns (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, & Vlissides, 1995) extract good solutions to standard problems in a particular context. Modern software industry has widely adopted design patterns to reuse best practices and improve the quality of software systems. Each design pattern describes a generic piece of design that can be instantiated in different applications. Multiple design patterns can be integrated to solve different design problems. To precisely and unambiguously describe a design pattern, formal specification methods are used. Each design pattern presents extensible design that can evolve after the pattern is applied. While design patterns have been applied in many large systems, pattern-related information is generally not available in source code or even the design model of a software system. Recovering pattern-related information and visualizing it in design diagrams can help to understand the original design decisions and tradeoffs. In this article, we concentrate on the issues related to design pattern instantiation, integration, formalization, evolution, visualization, and discovery. We also discuss the research work addressing these issues.

The characteristic of the architectural image of the church is given, the ratio of tradition and innovation is revealed. On the presented examples, the method of comparative analysis carries out a detailed analysis of the churches on the compositional, constructive, artistic and stylistic characteristics of architecture. Conclusions about the creation of architectural images of Orthodox churches in relation to the studied examples, the influence of traditional historical trends on the modern appearance of religious buildings are presented. Each church has a completely individual modern architectural and artistic image, various design solutions and urban and climatic conditions of construction. Completely different building materials and personal preferences of the creators are used. However, they are united by some General principles of the symbolic Church creed. Assumptions are made about possible ways of further evolution of the work of the architect of Orthodox church architecture in modern conditions.

The Article purpose is identification of shortcomings in training, retraining and advanced training of fingerprint experts as well as outline of scientific basis for improving this area of activity. The analysis of domestic scientists’ developments has made it possible to establish that in Ukraine there is no single unified regulatory legal act governing training, retraining and advanced training of a forensic expert, regardless of his institutional subordination. It is proved that current regulatory legal framework for professional training of forensic experts, in particular fingerprint experts, of the system of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is at the stage of formation and development and requires further reformation. It is necessary to highlight the section: Procedure for specialists’ training and internship in the Regulations on the Central Expert Qualification Commission under the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and Certification of Forensic Experts, and to develop a separate regulatory legal act regarding the procedure for advanced training on its basis. Particular attention is drawn to the absence of guidelines on the organization of the education process while forensic expert training, negatively affecting the process of learning during on-site training (in forensic science institutions). Expediency of the development of guidelines on forensic experts’ training for each individual expert specialization is established, which are suggested to be added as separate R&D topics to research work plan of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. It is indicated that a detailed study of the introduction of such a component as mentoring into the system of forensic experts’ training is essential. It is stressed that development of the regulatory legal framework for training forensic experts abroad in corresponding forensic science institutions, and the coordination of this area of activity by the Ministry will have a positive impact not only on the quality of training but also on the acquisition of world experience with the subsequent possibility of improving methods for conducting fingerprint analyses.

Este trabajo tiene el propósito analizar de manera crítica la pertinencia de la etnografía como alternativa de trabajo de titulación de grado, lo cual está contemplado en el Reglamento de Régimen Académico 2013, emitido por el Consejo de Educación Superior, CES. La selección de la etnografía como método de trabajo investigativo, permitirá a los estudiantes fortalecer las habilidades investigativas y desarrollar sus competencias en contextos reales de servicio a la comunidad. La propuesta tiene como antecedente experiencias de investigación cualitativa aplicada en Proyectos Académicos Institucionales realizados en sectores vulnerables del cantón Milagro, Ecuador, en los años 2012 y 2013. Se aplicaron técnicas como la observación participante, entrevista informal y análisis de documentos, técnicas que van de la mano con la etnografía. El propósito principal fue establecer las causas de la escasa participación de los pobladores y su nivel de involucramiento en el proceso educativo de sus hijos, vinculado a una necesidad de incidir el mejoramiento de la calidad educativa y la calidad de vida. Con la experiencia investigativa y el conocimiento del marco legal se aspira demostrar la factibilidad de intervención de la etnografía en problemas socioeducativos, y su factible utilización como una alternativa de titulación de Grado en Carreras de Educación. AbstractThis paper aims to critically analyze the relevance of ethnography as an alternative work for degree qualification, which is referred to in the Regulation of the Academic Regime 2013, issued by the Higher Education Council, CES. The selection of ethnography as a method of research work will enable students to strengthen the research skills and develop their skills in real contexts of community service. The proposal has been preceded by experiences of qualitative research that were conducted in Institutional Academic Projects in vulnerable sectors of Milagro city, Ecuador, in 2012 and 2013. In that draft some techniques were applied such as participant observation, informal interview, and document analysis, these techniques go hand in hand with ethnography. The main purpose was to establish the causes of the low participation of people and their level of involvement in the educational process of their children, linked to a need to influence the improvement of the educational quality and quality of life. With research expertise and knowledge of the legal framework, it is expected to demonstrate the feasibility of intervention ethnography in socio-educational problems and the possible use as an alternative for Degree qualification in Education.

Importance. Substantiation of the importance of the labor activity of minors for the accumulation of hu-man capital in the context of digitalization. Objectives. Investigate the state of the labor market in the Russian Federation and identify the share of minors in it; determine the areas of employment of minors; to carry out a comparative analysis of legislative norms that establish restrictions and allow types of activities of minors; to define a list of measures to ensure the interest of employers in the use of minors' labor. Methods. The study was based on the data of economic calculations and sociological studies carried out in 2017–2021, as well as an analysis of the legal framework governing the labor activity of minors. A systematic and integrated approach in the course of the research made it possible to identify trends in the modern labor market and understand how to address the issue of increasing interest on the part of employers in hiring minors. Results. The analysis carried out by the authors showed that the decline in the population at the age of 15–19 is a factor in the development of a shortage of resources in the labor market in the future, accordingly, this requires an “outstripping” model of personnel training for the economy. Expansion of «competent» tools that minimize the clash of interests of the parties and ensure the «safety» of the minor will improve the quality of human capital and ensure sustainable economic growth. Conclusions and Relevance. In a rapidly changing world, the priority direction of the professionalization of minors is to ensure, including legal, the student's self-selection of the range of available professional tra-jectories, learning along their own trajectories and self-realization within the chosen direction. To increase the interest of employers in hiring minors, it is necessary to form a range of permissive measures of state policy, including measures of economic support for the employer.

Investigating, deterring and imposing legal sanctions on cyber-criminals warrants an international legal framework for the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime. The real-world limits of local, state and national sovereignty and jurisdiction cannot be ignored by law-enforcement officials. It can be a strenuous task to obtain information from foreign countries, especially on an expedited basis – more specifically when the other country is in a different time zone, has a different legal system, does not have trained experts and uses different languages. In South Africa existing laws appear to be inadequate for policing the cyber realm. The effects and impact of information technology on the legal system have not yet received the attention they warrant. The challenges presented by the electronic realm cannot be solved merely by imposing existing criminal and criminal procedural laws which govern the physical world on cyberspace. The electronic realm does not necessarily demand new laws, but it does require that criminal actions be conceptualised differently and not from a purely traditional perspective. Sovereignty and the principle of non-interference in the domestic affairs of another state are fundamental principles grounding the relations between states; they constitute an important mechanism in the armoury of criminals. The harmonisation and enactment of adequate and appropriate transborder coercive procedural measures consequently play a pivotal role in facilitating effective international cooperation. This article examines the efficacy of South African laws in dealing with the challenges presented by police powers to search for and seize evidence in cyber environments. It analyses the rudimentary powers that exist in South African criminal procedure regarding the search for and seizure of evidence in cyber environments, and compares them against the backdrop of the more systemic and integrated approach proposed by the Cybercrime Convention.
