Agrotourism is developing very fast worldwide, and Armenia is not left out of those rates of development. There are serious preconditions for the development of agro-tourism in Armenia. This study aims to reveal the current state of agro-tourism, outlining the development preconditions in Armenia, particularly the role of PR in the development of this field. To collect the necessary information, we used the methods of expert and in-depth interviews, document analysis and viewing. The studied data refer to gastro-houses, house-studios, adventure tourism and other interesting directions of agro-tourism, which were spread in the Republic of Armenia until the first half of 2020 and were in different regions, in particular: Gegharkunik, Vayots Dzor, Shirak, Lori, Kotayk, Tavush, Aragatsotn, Ararat. The results of the research allow us to conclude that: • Agro-tourism has prospects for development in Armenia; • Agro-tourism can contribute to the development of different villages and communities in the Republic of Armenia; • Planning PR campaigns is a necessary precondition for development; • The lack of a common tourism platform in the Republic of Armenia hinders the development. • The expansion of packages offering rural tourism by Armenian tour operators will contribute to development. • It is possible to create a network of guest houses, which will include only the ones that are engaged in agro-tourism.

<p><em>The wide discretionary powers that are bestowed on the police necessitate the need for some mechanisms to curb abuse of these powers. The court, as an accountability institution, plays an important role in curtailing police abuse of power. This study explored the role of the court in police oversight in Zimbabwe, as well as examining the effectiveness of this important oversight institution in Zimbabwe. A total of 126 respondents drawn from institutions of accountability, were invited to participate through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The study revealed that the court is an effective institution of police accountability, whose police oversight role is performed through: deciding on the propriety of police actions; presiding over criminal cases in which police officers are implicated; and presiding over civil suits against the police. However, despite the court’s effectiveness, the limited number of judicial officers and absence of a mechanism to implement court judgements against the police seem to militate against the court’s effectiveness. The constitution was widely viewed to be an effective legal document for enhancing police accountability, though its effectiveness largely depends on willingness of state institutions to adhere to constitutional provisions. Despite some obstacles, the court and the constitution are key independent mechanisms for curbing police abuse of power in the Republic of Zimbabwe.</em></p>

The article highlights the unique role of irrigation canals in the supply of water in the required amount, depending on crop demand and the rational use of it. The study of the prevention of filtration in irrigation networks and the study of the existing malfunctions in the operation of irrigation networks, the sequence of works on the repair of irrigation networks were analyzed, and the priority of repair work was determined. The current state of the Khumbuz canal in Khiva, Khorezm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan was studied. Information was obtained and analyzed on compliance with design specifications during construction and the presence of protection zones in the canal design. Analytical indicators have been developed to extend the service life of the Khumbuz canal to ensure its normal operation and supply the required amount of water to crops. In the implementation of water supply to agricultural crops, priority is given to the repair and construction of hydraulic structures, including the Khumbuz canal. In addition, all the work to be done was planned based on the priority of the work. It has been found that the amount of water required to irrigate crops can be achieved uniformly along the length of the canal, at the top, middle, and bottom of the canal, by ensuring that the irrigation networks operate at the required level. Specific scientific recommendations have been given for the normal operation of the Khumbuz canal. Repairing the canal has been shown to increase water use by 20 percent and increase crop yields by 15 percent by ensuring that crops receive the required amount of water on time. The service area of the Khumbuz canal is 1.460 hectares. The length of the canal to be repaired is 6 km. of which 2,568 km of new concrete. The maximum water flow of the canal is 2.5 m3/sec, and the normal water flow is 2.0 m3/sec. The efficiency of the channel (canal) is 0.93. The article provides information on how to achieve efficient use of irrigation water by repairing hydraulic structures at the required level and the construction of new ones.

The effective development of the territorial tourist and recreational complex deals with the conduct of tourist and recreational expertise, during which it is possible to assess the tourist and recreational potential of the territory, its current use, directions for further development of tourism and the risks associated with it. It the summer of 2020, the territorial tourism and recreational expertise was carried out in the Razdolnensky district of the Republic of Crimea, including sociological surveys and in-depth interviews with 25 representatives of the tourism business. As a result of the study, a portrait of a tourist was formed, the current state of the tourist infrastructure was analyzed, organizational and managerial risks and risks (natural and anthropogenic) affecting the effective use of the tourist and recreational potential of the territory were identified. Today pos. Steregushee and pos. Aurora are the centers of amateur family budget tourists with children who come in most cases on their cars who prefer unassuming holidays in the summer. According to experts, today there is no possibility for changing the model of tourist services in connection with the presence of problems of infrastructure and environmental nature. Infrastructure problems are reduced to small areas of equipped beaches. Environmental problems are associated with abrasion-accumulative processes (erosion of the coastline), tampering the territory by algae and the seaside grass of the semi-family (Zosteraceae). In the case of contamination of the beach of the seaside grass, the beach capacity is reduced by 2 times, and the load exceeds the maximum permissible. The elimination of the problems and change of the tourist and recreational model of development implies the development of a program for the development of the territory of the Razzonsky district, is required for an organized and controlled recreation and tourism, which will give income and taxes to the budget. According the results of the tourist and recreational expertise, relevant recommendations were given and the prospects for the development of rural and gastronomic tourism, sports views (kitesurfing), autotourism, as well as the development of general and specialized infrastructure, including glumpings are given.

This qualitative case study explores the integration of entrepreneurship education (EE) across the curricula in two public universities in Tanzania. Based on Shapero’s model of the entrepreneurial event, the feasibility and desirability of EE in the selected universities are analysed. In-depth interviews and document analysis were used for data collection. The findings show that cross-curricula EE remains limited, largely because its implementation does not fit the pedagogical needs of some disciplines. However, the study highlights the significant role of donor support in enhancing the feasibility of fostering EE across the curricula.

The relevance of the topic is determined by the needs of modern Kazakhstani society in an independent judiciary and highly professional judges, capable of being a genuine guarantor of human and citizen rights and freedoms. Based on the study of the OECD countries’ experience, it is argued that it is the judicial education that plays a key role in the formation of an independent, highly professional judiciary. The current state of judicial education in the Republic of Kazakhstan and its development issues are considered. Prospective directions of its development are justified based on the OECD countries’ experience. A number of measures for improving judicial education is argued to be undertaken: the need for compulsory special training of candidates for the position of a judge, the development of teaching staff through the involvement of the best sitting judges in the training process, and the need to remove judicial education from the executive authorities. The role of new technologies in the development of judicial education is particularly mentioned.

Employer branding is a marketing strategy that helps employers stay competitive in their markets. Although it is a concept used for over 20 years, its process and consequences have not yet been fully scrutinized. This study characterizes the employer branding implementation and the employers' perspective on it. By conducting ten semi-structured, in-depth interviews, the authors examine not only how employer branding practices have been applied, but also the role of human resources management in the process and used employee attraction and retention practices. The results suggest that although the employer branding process is not clearly structured, some stages can be identified as common. For that reason, the authors outline a stage divided framework and analyse each one of the identified stages. Furthermore, practical insights are provided about the company's departments roles and link them to the current state of the art. Finally, the authors suggest future investigation in particular stages of employer branding.

<p>由於對合格司法通譯需求增加,美國國會於1978年通過「法庭通譯員法案」 (The Court Interpreters Act),其訓練和遴選方式廣受國際認同與仿效。該法中法院通譯除通譯角色外,認證資格者亦具專家證人(臺灣鑑定人)資格,兩種角色於司法程序中功能不同。臺灣刑事訴訟法鑑定人之規定,第211條規定:「本節之規定,於通譯準用之」,民事訴訟法亦有此規定。本研究聚焦在通譯專家在司法程序中之功能,先比較美國和臺灣專家證人和鑑定人的規定及制度,並以文獻分析法分析幾件美國案件,再以訪談法訪談法院通譯和律師,以探討目前實務誤譯情況、爭議譯文處理方式、專家通譯的功能和專家資格。</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Due to an increasing need for qualified legal interpreters at the time, the US Congress passed the Court Interpreters Act in 1978, which has become a model for selecting and training court interpreters internationally. In the US legal system, certified court interpreters often serve as experts in legal proceedings apart from their roles as interpreters. Taiwan&rsquo;s code of criminal procedure stipulates that provisions in the expert section shall apply mutatis mutandis to interpreters. There are also similar regulations in the civil procedure code. This paper focuses on the role of interpreters as experts through comparing related regulations for experts as part of legal proceedings in the US and Taiwan. Adopting on document analysis method and reviewing some U.S. cases, this paper seeks to utilize in-depth interviews with court interpreters and lawyers to discuss mistranslation in legal proceedings, translation dispute resolutions, functions and qualifications of expert interpreters in Taiwan&rsquo;s legal system</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

The review provides up-to-date data on pathogenetic mechanisms, opportunities of diagnosis, and organizational and medical measures concerning autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). AIT is a polyetiological disease which is mainly caused by environmental factors, genetic predisposition and disorder in immune regulation. Primary AIT incidence in the Republic of Belarus in 2017 is 58 cases per 100,000 population in the overall structure of the thyroid gland pathology, the AIT accounts for up to 40 %. The upward trend in the number of autoimmune diseases of the thyroid gland, including that in ecologically unfavorable regions, is explained not only by the true increase in the number of patients with AIT, the consequences of stress, but also by the overdiagnosis. There is contradictory data on the correlation of the level of iodine sufficiency of the population with the AIT development; there is no convincing evidence of the role of radiation factors in increasing the risk of AIT. The review analyzes the correlation of AIT with an imbalance in a number of microelements involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and affecting the iodine exchange. The article presents the study results that determined the nature of immune disorders in AIT and hypothyroidism in such forms as disorders of lymphocyte subpopulations, proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, changes in the apoptosis mechanisms, which were proposed for use as predictors of the severity of thyroid immune inflammation and hypothyroidism. The criteria for selecting patients with an increased risk of developing AIT complications remain unclear, that necessitates the development and implementation of additional organizational and medical measures for following-up of such patients and assessing their quality of life.
