Environmentally responsible lifestyle of a modern city dweller: theoretical model and its practical implementation (experience of sociological analysis on the example of Volgograd)

Boldina M. Yu.

Introduction. The article is devoted to determining the influence of ecological culture on the lifestyle of a modern city dweller. An environmentally responsible lifestyle, in theory, should involve a move away from consumerism as the norm of life towards harmonious coexistence with nature. The article describes a framework model for such coexistence.

Materials and methods of research. The socio-cultural approach became the methodologi-cal basis for the study of the ecologically responsible lifestyle of Volgograd residents. The sociological study allowed us to identify real practices that ensure or hinder the spread of an ecologically responsible lifestyle. The methods of the empirical study were an indepth interview and an online survey. The methods of interpretive analysis of texts, mathematical processing of data and graphical presentation of results were used in the analysis of the results.

Main part. Based on the analysis of modern concepts of an environmentally responsible lifestyle, a framework theoretical model of the paradigm of such a lifestyle has been developed. The empirical study allowed us to determine the substantive characteristics of the environmental consciousness of Volgograd residents. The analysis of everyday habits and social activity of respondents demonstrated the problems and prospects of the internalization of an environmentally responsible lifestyle as a norm.

Conclusions. Comparison of the theoretical model of an environmentally responsible lifestyle with the real environmental practices of Volgograd residents made it possible to assess the prevalence of the main parameters of such a lifestyle among the population. The identified barriers to the application of such practices are associated with the insufficient formation of environmental culture, both at the level of consciousness and at the level of behavior.

Keywords: ecology, lifestyle, environmental culture, environmental awareness, environmental behavior, everyday practices, social activity, environmental problems.

Current research areas of mortgage housing lending as a factor of social and economic development in the regions of the Russian Federation

Soshin N. A., Maksimova I. V.

Introduction. The introduction substantiates the need to shift the focus in the study of the role of mortgage housing lending from the micro and macro levels of management to the regional level of management. The current areas of research into mortgage housing lending in terms of their impact on the socio-economic development of Russian regions are revealed. The goal and objectives of the study conducted by the authors are formulated.

Methods. To solve the above-mentioned problems, the authors used the methods of grouping, economic and statistical analysis, including the index method and the method of correlation and regression analysis.

Analysis. The article presents the results of the analysis of the impact of mortgage housing lending development on the indicators of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In particular, the impact of mortgage housing lending development on the growth of GRP and the development of the construction industry is demonstrated; regions are grouped according to the similarity of problems in the development of mortgage housing lending in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Results. Based on the study, recommendations are formulated for the further development of areas of mortgage housing lending analysis in the regions of the Russian Federation. In particular, the necessity of expanding the range of indicators for the purpose of grouping regions of the Russian Federation by similarity of problems is substantiated, which will streamline the process of state regulation and more rationally use budget funds, and will also create conditions for a more targeted study of the problems of development of mortgage housing lending. The necessity of expanding the range of indicators for assessing the real opportunities of the population to improve housing conditions and use mortgage housing loans is shown, taking into account the volume and structure of household expenses and the level of retail prices for consumer goods and services, which necessitates the development of special tools. It is shown that in order to increase the objectivity of assessing the role of mortgage housing lending in the development of regional banking systems, it is necessary to develop special tools that would allow drawing conclusions about the possible impact of mortgage lending on the financial stability of the regional banking system.

CRIMINAL LAW SCIENSE

To the issue of research of new evidence in the court of appeal instance

Sarsengaliev S. S.

Introduction. As time has shown, the reform of the appellate procedure did not end with the adoption of Federal Law No. 433 of December 29, 2010 «On Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and Recognizing as Invalid Certain Legislative Acts (Provisions of Legislative Acts) of the Russian Federation», which practically widely intro-duced an appeal as a form of legal and factual verification of sentences and other decisions rendered at first instance by all courts of the country. Since the adoption of this law, the legislator has contin-ued to make amendments and additions to Chapter 45.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Rus-sian Federation «Proceedings in the Court of Appeal». The latest change took place according to Federal Law No. 608-FZ of December 29, 2022 «On Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation». This law in Art. 389.13 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Rus-sian Federation introduced new parts 4.1 and 4.2, the provisions of which actualize the problem of determining the model of a modern appeal in the key to the question of whether it refers to a full or an incomplete appeal. To answer this question, it is necessary to analyze the regulatory framework for the procedure for examining both the evidence on which the contested judicial act was based and new evidence, on the examination of which the interested party to the case insists, who filed an appeal or representation against a sentence or other judicial decision of the court of first instance that has not entered into legal force.

Methods. Such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction were used, and from among the special methods of legal research – the formal-legal method, from among the empirical methods – the study of documents, that is, published judicial decisions of the courts of appeal.

Analysis. The conducted analysis of the norms of Chapter 45.1 of the Code of Criminal Pro-cedure of the Russian Federation, including the regulatory provisions of Part 4.1 and part 4.2 of Art. 389.13 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the emerging practice of the second instance courts, made it possible to identify the essence of the dictates of the regulatory provisions of Parts 4.1 and Part 4.2 of Art. 389.13 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, as well as their compliance with the emerging judicial practice.

Results. As a result of the conducted study, a conclusion was formulated that the modern regulatory framework for appellate proceedings in criminal cases forms a mixed model of appeal, which includes elements of a full and incomplete appeal. The conducted study made it possible to establish the incompleteness of the regulatory framework for the procedure for resolving the appel-lant's motion to examine new evidence by the second instance court, which limits the latter's right to judicial protection. In this regard, it is proposed to supplement Part 6.1 of Art. 389.13 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation by a provision establishing the obligation of the court of second instance to motivate its decisions on recognizing as disrespectful the reasons why a party was unable to timely file a motion with the court of first instance for the inclusion and exami-nation of such evidence or for the performance of one or another judicial investigative action as a result of which such evidence could have been obtained and examined for the purpose of establish-ing the circumstances of the criminal case.

Keywords: Appellate instance, new evidence, full form of appeal, judicial discretion, prob-lem of subjectivity, impossibility of examining evidence.
