The Subject

Weak governance over the Brazilian Amazon is jeopardizing both social and environmental balance. Moreover, the loss of this balance can have severe social, economic, and political consequences at local, national, and global levels. Therefore, we plan to answer how the Brazilian forest is being protected based on the perspective of the environmental military police integrating all states of the so-called Legal Amazon. The study came from a field survey conducted through a questionnaire sent to those police agencies. The research is based on exploratory and descriptive methods of qualitative and quantitative approach with both field research and literature review on the subject. We sought to evaluate publications that satisfactorily described the “state of the art” of the main research on the topic, as we strove for the quality and comprehensiveness of the research, and a field survey through a questionnaire applied to law enforcement agencies. The responses were organized into four groups, allowing an overview of the environmental inspection in the region. Although the Amazon Rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, it has been found that states in the region devote little human and material resources to its protection. They are insufficient, tactically, and strategically under-employed, poorly distributed, and for the most part, far below the national average, which is already lower than recommended by international bodies which dedicate to the protection of nature.

The problem of counteraction to investigation has recently gained particular topicality. . This is due to the fact that the activities of organized criminality are gaining  and larger range,   an essential reason of which, in its turn, are the processes of  the personnel corruptibility of the power structures and law enforcement institutions.The basis of the people’s lifestyle of the adherent to the criminal environment is to put obstacles in the way of law enforcement institutions in general; and during their lifetime, because of specific mentality, criminals always and willingly put into practice various forms and methods of counteractions. As investigative practice shows, counteraction to investigation may go on during the lifetime of the counteraction performer; it may begin also in the preparation phase of a crime, or may begin or continue during investigation, trial, and even during the time of serving sentence.The purpose of this study is to clarify the essence of the counteraction concept to investigation.As a result of the study and based on the theoretical knowledge, the most important conclusion has been drawn, namely: the counteraction to investigation is an action or inaction executed on premeditated purpose to hinder or even to stop the full, objective and comprehensive clarification of the offense circumstances by the investigating authorities and courts. In the course of the study, the problems were also identified, and the means and methods of overcoming the counteraction to investigation were offered.The prevention of counteraction to investigations, identification of its motives, forecasting of counteraction forms and methods of its implementation both – at the initial period of the investigation and during the implementation of investigation activities are a part of the necessary provisions for successful neutralization of counteraction, for unmasking of counteraction performers’ activities. It is also a compulsory provision for objective, detailed and complete clarifications of all circumstances of offence, providing in this way a fair punishment for guilty persons.The application of countermeasures requires an understanding of the methods and techniques used by law enforcement authorities in investigation of criminal networks. Insufficient prevention and overcoming of counteractions to investigations is one of the reasons of qualitative and quantitative aggravation of the performance parameters of law enforcement authorities.

The effectiveness of the implementation of citizens 'rights in the field of social insurance depends on the rapid and affordable protection of their rights, which determines the relevance of the study of extrajudicial procedures for the protection of citizens' rights in the field of social insurance. The purpose of the article is to, based on the analysis of social insurance legislation, to investigate the protection of citizens' rights in the field of social insurance out of court and to develop some suggestions for improvement. Based on the analysis of current legislation and research on the protection of rights in the field of social insurance, the procedure for protection of the rights of insured persons in the field of social insurance out of court is revealed. It is determined that in the field of social insurance jurisdictional forms of protection of rights are used, within which both common law and social insurance mechanisms of out-of-court protection of the rights of insured persons are used. It is noted that conciliation and mediation procedures have not been properly extended to protect rights in the field of social insurance, and the mediation procedure is no exception. The procedure for appealing the decision of social insurance funds is analyzed. The static data and topics of issues related to the appeal of the decisions of the subjects of law enforcement by the insured persons are given. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of claims to the Pension Fund of Ukraine allows us to conclude that there is a well-established practice of resolving pension disputes mainly in court. Conclusions and proposals for improving out-of-court procedures for protection of citizens' rights in the field of social insurance are made

The purposes of this research are to: (1) analyze the students' legal and human rights awareness prhenomenon, (2) seek models in building students’ human rights awareness. The methodology used is qualitative and quantitative research, the location of this research is in all State Senior High School and Private City of Padang with proportional random sampling. The results showed 1) Students’ awareness is still low, in terms of norms, values, laws, basic human rights, other people’s rights, applied regulations, social systems, religion, and public order. Attitude is in terms of spiritual and social meaning. Skills are in using norms and values, unravel, arranging, modifying, socialization modeling , writing and reading socialization model, calculating modeling, drawing and composing socialization model. 2). The model used in building students' human rights awareness is by considering the substance, structure, and culture, as well as law enforcement, supporting facilities. There is a very close relationship between law enforcement, supporting means, culture and law. Based on the data, from 700 participants who got the evaluation questionnaire as many as 475 people (67.85%) have a good perception of school rules in terms of substance, structure, and law obedience culture. While as many as 447 people (63.85%) said law enforcement (orderliness) is less consistent by the enforcement of the rules. To conclude, the students’ law and human rights awareness determines the nation character formation in the future, which will give birth to good advocator and mediator.

Census data indicate that women are grossly underrepresented in federal law enforcement. As all agencies must compete to attract quality candidates to reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, recruiting and hiring more women should be a priority for all agency leaders. This descriptive and exploratory analysis seeks to understand the recruitment process in federal law enforcement using both qualitative and quantitative data generated from surveys collected from 201 new federal law enforcement officers working in 32 federal law enforcement agencies. The study finds that although recruitment usually precedes hiring, federal law enforcement agencies do not appear to actively recruit their officers. The study further highlights proactive efforts to recruit more women into federal law enforcement.

Little is known about the temporal expression of extracellular matrix components (ECM) and its receptors during development of the heart. Recent reports have shown that ECM components undergo both qualitative and quantitative changes during development, and it is believed that ECM components are important in the regulation of cell migration and cell:cell and cell:ECM recognition and adhesion.Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins which bind several ECM components on their external face and cytoskeletal elements on the cytoplasmic face. Laminin is a basement membrane component which has been recognized as an important site for cell adhesion. Both the integrins and laminin are expressed early in development and continue to be expressed in the adult heart. With their documented roles in cell recognition, and cell:cell and cell:ECM migration and adhesion these proteins appear to be important components in development of the heart, and their temporal expression may play a pivotal role in morphogenesis and myofibrillogenesis of the heart.

Data Result

Inorganic particulate material of diverse types is present in the ambient and occupational environment, and exposure to such materials is a well recognized cause of some lung disease. To investigate the interaction of inhaled inorganic particulates with the lung it is necessary to obtain quantitative information on the particulate burden of lung tissue in a wide variety of situations. The vast majority of diagnostic and experimental tissue samples (biopsies and autopsies) are fixed with formaldehyde solutions, dehydrated with organic solvents and embedded in paraffin wax. Over the past 16 years, I have attempted to obtain maximal analytical use of such tissue with minimal preparative steps. Unique diagnostic and research data result from both qualitative and quantitative analyses of sections. Most of the data has been related to inhaled inorganic particulates in lungs, but the basic methods are applicable to any tissues. The preparations are primarily designed for SEM use, but they are stable for storage and transport to other laboratories and several other instruments (e.g., for SIMS techniques).

Detailed List

Particle analysis by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x- ray analysis is one of the current methods used in crime laboratories to aid law enforcement in identifying individuals who have recently fired or handled a firearm. During the discharge of a firearm, the high pressure caused by the detonation of the cartridge materials forces a portion of the generated gases through leaks in the firing mechanism of the weapon. These gases contain residues of smokeless powder, primer mixture, and contributions from the projectile itself. The condensation of these hot gases form discrete, micrometer-sized particles, which can be collected, along with dry skin cells, salts, and other hand debris, from the hands of a shooter by a simple adhesive lift technique. The examination of the carbon-coated adhesive lifts consist of time consuming systematic searches for high contrast particles of spherical morphology with the characteristic elemental composition of antimony, barium and lead. A detailed list of the elemental compositions which match the criteria for gunshot residue are discussed in the Aerospace report.
