Methodological aspects of system forming of control methods of technological flow of sugar production

Under conditions of increasing of industrial consumption of sugar in Russia and applying specific requirements for sugar as primary commodity, issues of flexibility and readjustment of process lines for production of sugar of prescribed properties become relevant. Maintaining the quality and safety of products in this case can be ensured by the transition of the process control system to a new paradigm, including the improvement of tools in the form of measurement methods. As a basis for the methodology of forming the system of control methods, three principles have been proposed: the package principle, the acquisition of standard and extended case methods, and the unification of methods presentation. The package principle as a tool of the rule-making methodology, with its detailed elaboration in standardization, has been considered in detail. It is shown that in order to ensure the compatibility of operational control methods, it makes sense to provide unified approaches to their development, essential content, construction and presentation, which is possible by adopting the package principle used in standardization. The necessity of expanding the nomenclature of control parameters of the technological flow of sugar production was considered in detail; the existing prerequisites were shown. It was proposed to provide the implementation of nomenclature variations of control parameters on the basis of the formation of two case methods, differentiated according to the destination of the sugar produced - for population or industrial consumers. It is noted that control parameters of the technological flow of sugar production are the quantities related to the subject of quantitative chemical analysis, the practical side of which is reflected by analytical methods. Due to the current variety of attributes of methods presentation, their harmonization is required both by means of the unification of the presentation of measurement methods of the same parameters for different control objects according to their substantive essence, and by means of the unification of the text presentation of the methodology. The principles considered together constitute the essence of the methodological approach to the formation of the system of control methods of the technological sugar production flow.

Corruption Counteraction in the Mechanism of Federal Public Administration: Federal and Inter-Regional Levels

Current anti-corruption legislation is characterized by a lack of concentration and unity of legislative acts that regulate the work of public authorities and administration at the federal and inter-regional levels. The Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» has a framework nature and does not meet all the challenges of preventing and counteracting corruption that the Russian state now faces. Thus, the relevance of this study is obvious. The goal of the authors is to determine the key trends and means of systematizing legislation that regulates the anti-corruption activities of the state. Having analyzed a vast massive of normative legal acts on counteracting corruption at the federal and inter-regional levels as well as international experience, the authors conclude that it is necessary to amend the Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» by, among other things, systematizing the norms that regulate the corresponding sphere of state activities. The authors express their confidence that the effectiveness of legislation on counteracting corruption could considerably improve with the «package» principle of streamlining legislation and the introduction of a basic normative legal act — the Law on Counteracting Corruption, then changing the acts that are not in line with it and developing other normative documents to specify it. The use of a systemic approach to counteracting corruption also requires the revision and improvement of some clauses of the National Strategy of Counteracting Corruption which should incorporate the analysis of the situation with the anti-corruption policy of the state, the assessment of the effectiveness of the existing system, monitoring and audit, as well as the instruments of the anti-corruption policy. The paper also presents the authors’ position on the development and upgrading of the legal basis of organizing the public authorities and administrations at the central and inter-regional levels that regulates the specification and optimization of determining and delimiting jurisdictions in the sphere of counteracting corruption. The authors conclude that at present it is not advisable to organize a separate special corruption counteraction body in Russia because the conditions necessary for its establishment are lacking.
