The paper presents the results of analysis made by the authors on features of exercise of the concept "accession" within Russian civil law. The object of research within the paper is expressed in a retrospective analysis of social relations emerged with the challenge to determine the accessory of the property. In 2013 some amendments were made to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the legal procedure for incrementing things and establishing a legal connection between the main thing and its accessory. Scholars generally note the need to return legal traditions which were in the Russian Empire in relation to accessory attributes of a property. Deprivation of these historical features causes an increase of controversial issues, which depend not on a single legislative position but judicial discretion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After 2020, many countries claim a dominant position or serious participation in global politics. In monitoring the development of macroeconomic indicators, especially from the point of view of forecasting their development with regard to the direction of the globalized political-economic trend, one can look for the future of the world order. The combination of factors reflects the conflictual and complex nature of development, pointing to areas with high demographic pressure. The expansion of the sphere of influence of NATO and the European Union in the former Soviet republics caused great resentment in Russia. Russia, on the other hand, is trying to create a Eurasian bloc with a strong Orthodox core, but also with considerable influence in relatively weaker Islamic countries. The aim of the contribution is to predict the future development of the world's political-economic distribution of forces based on the position of the weakening role of the US dollar as a global reserve currency.

he paper reveals regulatory boundaries of surrogacy relations. The object of the research deals with the analysis of Russian and overseas legislation ruling issues of contractual and consequential aspects. Current Russian legislation is of some gaps in establishing terms of surrogacy agreements. This results in parties’ ambiguous assessment of the terms of obligations. In the Russian Federation legislation some definite issues concerning the procedure for surrogacy have remained unresolved. Foreign experience in legislation to surrogacy is particularly valuable in dealing with the issues within judicial and contractual practice. The authors compared several legal systems to justify some definitive findings of the research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance of the present study is determined by the importance of mythologization in modern global processes the formation of a multipolar world presents an example of. Each of the forming "poles" requires a mythological basis comprising and establishing its specific historical mission and worldview uniqueness. The deployment of previous narratives and the creation of new ones spreading in the media space and applying for mythological quality presents an important argument in favor of the "pole". The axiological approach to the study of myths in modern media involves referring to value analysis as a method of studying journalism. The study is based on the world-systems methodology that includes cross-cultural analysis. A study of relevant political mythology is carried out on the example of media coverage of the help provided by Russia to Italy in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. To obtain empirical data, the procedure of content analysis of media texts was used. The analysis of the state of media was performed on the empirical basis of materials provided by the InoSMI information and analytical portal and other leading Russian media. The following points are substantiated in the article: mythogenesis occurs in current political practice that can result in two mutually exclusive outcomes: further development of the myth of European solidarity, the cultural and historical community - the continuation of the historical myth, or its destruction - the realization of the operational myth. The analyzed texts demonstrate an apparent polarization of the forming mythological concepts fixating the images of Russia as an assistant selflessly helping those in need and a political actor seeking to realize their geopolitical interests at the expense of Italy. The semantic cluster groups of 'Gratitude', 'Independence', 'Cultural interaction and solidarity', 'Safety', and 'Welfare' were identified based on mythological concepts. Materials of the present article present practical value to political functionaries and journalism theorists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of the study was to identify ways to improve the taxation mechanism of credit institutions in the Russian Federation as a special group of participants in tax relations based on the analysis of the current system and the specifics of their taxation at the present stage. In the course of the research, such scientific methods of the empirical and theoretical group as analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization, systemic and integrated approaches were applied. The article examines the key problems and features of the mechanisms for calculating and collecting the main taxes (income tax and value added tax) levied on credit institutions in the Russian Federation at the present stage. The study and systematization of theoretical and methodological approaches helped investigate and assess the role of banks in the formation and development of the tax system and the economy of Russia. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of proposals and recommendations, scientific and applied, aimed at realizing the fiscal and regulatory potential of the taxation mechanism of banks as a special group of tax relations. The positive elements of foreign experience in taxation of banks, from the point of view of its possible use in the Russian Federation were emphasized. The expediency is substantiated and a variant of income tax rates differentiation for credit institutions in terms of types of activities and profit is proposed. The importance of tax support for bank lending to priority sectors of the economy and increasing taxation of speculative transactions, currency and financial transactions is argued. The need to eliminate existing contradictions in tax legislation, improve the system of banks' liability, in order to minimize offenses and increase tax and general economic security in the Russian Federations revealed.

The effect of spraying cattle hair with Delcid on the number of midges was studied. The attack of bloodsucking midges decreases the milk productivity of cattle. According to literature data, losses can range from 5.19 to 53.4%. In Russia, synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to protect livestock from midges. Among the drugs in this group, Delcid (4% emulsifiable deltamethrin concentrate) has proven itself effective. The present research aimed to study the effect of spraying cattle hair with Delcid on the number of midges on pastures and the milk productivity of cows. Studies were conducted in livestock farms in the south of the Tyumen region in 2003–2005 and 2008. Cows before pasture were sprayed with 0.001% (by active substance) Delcid water emulsion in medium volume (0.5 l per animal) using the universal horizontal single-pipe spraying booms installed at the pen gate and developed at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Veterinary Entomology and Arachnology. Midges were counted using an entomological net with removable sacks. The entomological efficiency of treatments was assessed by comparing the number of midges at the test and control pastures. Losses in milk productivity were calculated based on the “Method for determining the harmfulness of insects of the ‘gnat’ type for cattle” developed by the authors of the present research. The research revealed that the loss of milk productivity of cows in the south of the Tyumen region can reach 9.88% in some years. Systematic spraying of the hair of grazing cattle with a 0.001% aqueous Delcid emulsion reduced the total number of midges on the pasture by a factor of 1.7-7 and, accordingly, shortened the period of their mass swarming. This allowed getting additional 0,231 l of milk per day or 1.45% from each cow, thus increasing the profitability of cattle breeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article substantiates the possibility of developing the professional competence of students of technical universities when studying in a student design bureau. An analysis is conducted of theoretical works and practical activities in the aspect of the problem being developed. The approaches of scientists to the definition and content of the concept of professional competence are considered. On the basis of the analysis of the professional standard 06.005 – Radio-electronics engineer, a number of professional competencies have been identified, the formation of which is carried out during training in the student design bureau. It is argued that the process of readiness for the implementation of training should include objective, motivational, informative, operational, evaluative and effective components. The results of the experiment to estimate the effectiveness of the formation of professional competence are given, indicating that training in the student design bureau contributes to the formation of students' professional competence. The generalised experience in the article aims to develop an approach to improve and further develop an effective methodology for the formation of general professional education in engineering.

The publication considers the procedural features of judicial proceedings on pension award in the Russian Federation. The issue is relevant due to legislative changes. Due to the changes, the amount of pension capital has become significantly different from the expectations of citizens who had a certain work experience and a minimum amount of pension contributions. The pension reform in Russia aimed at retirement age increase has affected not only the younger generation but also put the citizens of preretirement age in a bind. Russian courts are forced to function under ambiguous interpretation of legislation and uncertainty of the evidentiary basis affecting the enforcement of a basic social right for pension provision.

The article is devoted to understanding the content of the quasi-election design of the competitive model for electing the Head of the municipality and its impact on civic engagement in the realization of the right to participate in local selfgovernment. The laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, adopted on the basis of federal laws, give preference to the model of formation of local governments that abolishes direct elections of heads of municipalities and thereby reduce their responsibility to the population and implore the constitutional right of residents of the municipal formation to directly participate in elections. The nature of relations between public authorities at various levels is changing: local governments are built into the vertical of state power and become agents of this local authority. Depriving the heads of municipalities of direct legitimacy obtained directly from voters reduces their political influence and reduces the crucial role of the population to zero. The key theoretical and practical problems associated with the substantive and procedural aspects of the existing mechanism for filling the position of the head of the municipality as a result of being elected by the representative body of the municipality from among the candidates represented by the competition commission based on the results of competition are considered. A set of legal measures aimed at improving the content of the analyzed legal structure is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
