Methdology for defining key performance indicators of development institutions as exemplified by the national project “Small and Medium-Sized Business”

Approaches to the methodology for calculating key performance indicators for development institutions as part of their contribution to national development goals achievement has been reviewed. It has been shown that, depending on the methodology used, the value of this indicator can vary by up to 5 units, with each approach being relevant for a particular task. Using the example of an indicator in one of the areas of the national project “Small and Medium-Sized Business” (training activities) as an example, an integrated approach has been proposed to balance solution of the objectives of optimal spending of the federal budget and increasing the public outreach of its results.

Financing of the Program of state guarantees of free medical care: how to solve the deficit problem?

Introduction. The critical problem of Russian health care is the deficit of funding for the program of state-guaranteed medical care for citizens of Russia. Purpose of the study. To search for solutions to the problem of financing the deficit of the program of state guarantees of free medical care in the Russian Federation. Material and methods. Retrospective data analysis was carried out to analyse the reasons for the deficit in the financing of the program of state guarantees of free medical care and search for solutions in the experience of other countries. Results. The analysis showed that the reasons for the deficit of the program of state guarantees of free medical care are the shortcomings of the mandatory health insurance (MHI) income system: linking contributions for the working population to the wages fund; the vagueness of the definition of the non-working population and the payment of contributions for its MHI by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation; non-participation of the solvent population in the co-financing of medical care; deficit of economic integration between the payment of MHI treatment and the health care system; the absence of formalized mechanisms for reimbursing the expenses of the MHI system by the federal budget to pay for aid in catastrophic situations. Discussion. The authors see the solution to the problem of the deficit of the program of state guarantees of free medical care in the modernization of the MHI income system: replacement of the MHI contributions paid by employers with an additional “medical” part of the value-added tax; replacement of the MHI contributions paid by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for the non-working population with a targeted “medical” tax on retail sales; creation of a system of additional income based on the principle “the guilty person pays for causing harm to health”; recognition of the cost of medical care to the population in catastrophic situations as an unconditional obligation of the federal budget. Conclusion. a systemic solution to the problem of the financing deficit of the program of state guarantees of free medical care for the citizens of Russia seems to be the modernization of the MHI income system.

INCENTIVES AS A MEANS OF EDUCATIONAL INFLUENCE ON INMATES HELD IN PENAL INSTITUTIONS

В статье автор затронул вопросы совершенствования применяемых поощрительных мер, способных качественно повысить воспитательный процесс осужденных, содержащихся в пенитенциарных учреждениях. Несмотря на достаточно объемный перечень предусмотренных законодателем мер поощрения, отмечена необходимость переработки норм уголовно-исполнительного законодательства, регламентирующих поощрительные меры осужденных к лишению свободы в направлении обеспечения целостности данной системы, последовательности ее элементов, их большей дифференциации. Автор отмечает, что меры материальных поощрений, к которым относятся выплата денежной премии и награждение подарком, на практике являются не работающими, поскольку законодателем не урегулирован вопрос, из каких средств следует их производить. В настоящее время расходование денежных средств из федерального бюджета на это направление не предусмотрено. В целях максимального стимулирования осужденных к позитивному поведению целесообразно расширить действующий комплекс поощрений, направленных на поддержание социальных связей осужденных. На основании проведенного исследования предлагается ч. 1 ст. 113 УИК РФ дополнить поощрительными мерами в виде направления администрацией учреждения ИУ письма близким родственникам о примерном поведении осужденного; дополнительным дистанционным видеосвиданием посредством сети Интернет; представлением администрации ИУ в суд о сокращении срока отбывания наказания; краткосрочным отпуском до 15 суток с выездом за пределы ИУ. In the article, the author analyzed the issues of improving the used incentive measures that can qualitatively improve the educational process of convicts held in penitentiary institutions. Despite the rather lengthy list of incentives provided by the legislator, the need to revise the norms of criminal executive legislation governing incentive measures for prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in the direction of ensuring the integrity of this system, the sequence of its elements, and their greater differentiation was noted. The author notes that the measures of material incentives, which include the payment of a monetary bonus and rewarding with a gift, are not working in practice, since the legislator has not regulated the question from what means they should be produced. At present, the spending of funds from the federal budget in this direction is not provided. In order to maximize the stimulation of convicts to positive behavior, it is advisable to expand the existing set of incentives aimed at maintaining the social ties of convicts. Based on the study, it is proposed to part 1 of Art. 113 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation to supplement incentive measures in the form of a letter from the administration of the penitentiary institution to close relatives about the exemplary behavior of the convict; additional remote video viewing via the Internet; the presentation of the administration of the penitentiary institution to the court on the reduction of the term of serving the sentence; short-term vacation up to 15 days with a trip outside the penitentiary.

Public Expenditures Priorities between Human Development Requirements and Funding Constraints

Interest in the issue of public Expenditures (spending) priorities increases in times of financial and economic crisis, when restrictions on government funding grow, and financial markets stumble in providing financing channels with the necessary liquidity, as well as when paying attention to increasing the efficiency and productivity of public spending, by reducing the waste of public money and pursuing its allocation between different economic sectors to achieve the public benefit as much as possible and at the lowest possible cost. Among the discussions being raised in this regard is where the priority lies in spending is on sectors that support human development such as (education, health and public services), or the priority of spending on other sectors (which may hinder human development and delay the development of states and civil societies) such as military sectors, armaments, military industries and related sectors. Because each side has its arguments and evidence of modern economic and human experiences, it is difficult to resolve the controversy in a certain direction and ignore the opinion of the second party, but what concerns us is the situation of our country and our society and the economic and social pressures and renewed threats from time to time, and what is the most objective and credible reading of the authors of the philosophy of the Iraqi economy, and its emerging priorities developed after 2003, through the trends of the federal budget in this country. Given the financial crisis that is ravaging the global economy as a result of the Corona pandemic and the great isolation measures Great Lockdown and the repercussions of this crisis on the Iraqi economy as a result of the collapse of the world oil markets, so discussions are escalating in the field of rationalization and efficiency of government public spending, and because the general budget depends on the general revenues on oil revenues by more than 90% in most years after 2003, so an external shock or collapse in the oil market affects the revenues of the general budget, and therefore there is a situation The uncertainty of budget planners and implementers in collecting the revenues required to cover the public expenditure side, and the most important items of governing public expenditure, namely employee compensation, support for the poor and others.

الحكم الرشيد وكفاءة التخطيط للموازنة الاتحادية والدور المرتقب لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة في العراق

The Iraqi reality misses the foundations of good governance in Iraq, as well as the comprehensive development programs that produce economic and financial reforms, especially in the federal budget, which is characterized as a fragile, weak and vocal budget. Therefore, it came as a modest attempt to shed light on the justifications for achieving good and good governance and efficient planning for the federal budget in its expenditures and revenues. The public, which contributes to building the state and achieving sustainable development that helps solve the main community problems, reduce poverty indicators, reduce unemployment, provide housing and basic services for all components of Iraqi society, and one of the doors to good and rational governance is the efficient management of the federal budget in Iraq, which is represented by efficient planning for managing public money. And protecting it from corruption is in addition to the many problems that fiscal policy suffers from, including weak non-oil financial revenues and dependence on oil revenues, and the growing deficit in budget planning and reliance in particular on foreign debt in the face of the deficit, and solutions are not impossible but need a national administration to achieve them.

The Improvement of the Procedural Order for Checking the Reasons and Grounds for Initiating a Criminal Case

Introduction: the range of tasks facing the stage of initiating a criminal case is quite diverse, which leads to different interpretations of their content by the scientists-processualists. The authors of the paper assess the problems of determining the reasons and grounds for initiating a criminal case. The problem considered by the authors of the manuscript is relevant because of their insufficiently clear legislative definition and their related ambiguous interpretation. The purpose of the study: to identify the problems that hinder the improvement of the procedural order for checking the reasons and grounds for initiating a criminal case. The research objectives: to analyze the points of view of the scientists-processualists about the expediency of eliminating the first stage of the criminal process; to offer some recommendations for transforming the stage of initiating a criminal case. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is represented by a system of methods of scientific cognition, which should include: general scientific, systemic, institutional, and comparative legal. Results: the paper provides an assessment of the position of some researchers specializing in criminal procedure law on the need to eliminate the stage of initiating a criminal case, which the authors of the paper do not share, citing the following arguments: the considered stage of the criminal process acts as a kind of filter that separates the law enforcement agencies from procedural activities for the analysis of information that does not hide the signs of a criminally punishable act; will cause an increase in the burden on investigators and interrogators; the burden on the federal budget will increase due to the procedural costs. Conclusions: considering the possibility of improving the stage of initiating a criminal case, borrowing the experience of the representative countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, the authors of the paper conclude that as a result of this, the procedural status of some participants in the criminal process will change, which is alien to the Russian criminal procedure legislation: the replacement of the functions of the investigator by the prosecutor and the court; the exercise of the function of the body of inquiry by the investigator; the acquisition by the defender of the status of the subject of proof on a par with the investigator and the inquirer. It is noted that the attempt of the legislator to give evidentiary value to the information obtained during the preinvestigation check as an independent reason for initiating a criminal case was not successful.
