This paper analyzes the potential threat to the national security of the Rus-sian Federation associated with the use of biological active substances by interna-tional terrorist organizations. The relevance of the work is caused by the fact that at the beginning of the new Millennium, domestic and foreign scientific sources do not stop actively discussing the problems associated with the possible use of biological weapons to commit a terrorist attack. In the course of the research, the author makes an important conclusion that a system that counteracts acts of biological terrorism cannot be an effective mechanism if we do not constantly monitor the strains of dangerous infectious diseases that are circulating on the territory of our country, which are pathogenic biological agents that can be used by terrorists to commit a biological terrorist act. The author also makes a number of conclusions regarding the fact that in the conditions of the 20s. In the twenty-first Millennium, biological terrorism, being a special phenomenon, can not only cause a colossal danger to all living things, but in the case of certain unfavorable conditions for modern society, it can act as a destructive mechanism that provokes global changes in the world, which will eventually lead to changes in the global geo-political balance of forces, reformatting the current social relations and the currently existing parameters and characteristics of social space. The novelty of this work is the analysis of threats to the national security of the Russian Federation, due to the potential use of biological weapons for terrorist purposes. Some other provisions of the work are also new. The practical significance of the scientific article is expressed in the possible use of its results in the activities of law enforcement agencies to counteract acts of bioterrorism.
The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the issues of countering crimes in the economic sphere have been sufficiently studied in the domestic and foreign literature, but it should be noted that most of these studies were conducted at the beginning of the new Millennium and they did not take into account some modern features. In particular, the study showed that most of the authors of the issues under consideration studied individual measures to prevent offenses in the economic sphere, among which, as a rule, measures of a General social preventive nature were studied, in some cases, special criminological measures applied by law enforcement officers were studied. At the same time, it is impossible not to say that these employees had the opportunity to effectively prevent the crimes in question, provided that the period of centralized economic processes. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in the conditions of the beginning of the third Millennium of the XXI century, these subjects of preventive influence can only implement minor measures to prevent the acts in question. On a very large scale, employees of other state bodies and commercial organizations can counteract the crimes in question. The novelty of this research is the analysis of the theoretical and organizational foundations for the prevention of crimes in the field of economic security, which are the most important element in ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation. A number of other provisions of the study are also new. The practical significance of this work is the possibility of using its basic results to improve the theoretical and organizational foundations in the process of preventing economic crimes.
The relevance of the problem considered by the author’s team is that the tasks of preventing political corruption in the Brazilian state apparatus are connected with the solution of a huge layer of problems and issues requiring their study and analysis. The aim of this study was to study the foundations of Brazilian public policy to prevent political corruption. The methodological basis of this work was the activities of entities to prevent political corruption in Brazil. A set of General scientific and private scientific methods was used as a method. In the format of this scientific study, the authors took a number of steps that allowed them to consider the most important aspects of the problem. Including a number of high-profile political cases taking place in the context of the new Millennium in Brazil related to corruption. In the course of the study, the authors concluded that most of the subjects of anti-corruption by nature are not fully independent of political pressure, and, as a rule, have a narrow sphere of activity. In the course of the study, the authors tried to argue the thesis that in the conditions of globalization, only interdepartmental interaction of all actors in the fight against manifestations of political corruption will lead to a tangible effect. In the meantime, the necessary interaction between the subjects of the institutional corruption control machine will not be carried out, and politicians in the fight against corruption will not be effective enough. The experience of the Brazilian state policy in the sphere of combating political corruption analyzed by the author’s team can serve as a methodological basis for the preparation of various policy documents in the sphere of combating corruption in the Russian Federation.
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the problem of chronic hunger, which has worsened over the past decades in the world, clearly indicates that there is not enough food in the world to feed people. The problem under consideration continues to worsen due to such factors as: the effects of climate change, the unstable world economy, low agricultural production, growing poverty and unstable food prices. Thus, these factors have set new challenges for the world to produce and continuously supply the population with basic foodstuffs. In modern Japan, the problems related to ensuring food security on the basis of a strong interaction between the agro-industrial complex and the state are very active. At the same time, the problem of food security in the land of the rising sun differs from the world one. Since Japanese food security consists in increasing the self-sufficiency coefficient by increasing domestic production in order to meet the demand for both types of food related to traditional Japanese food and imported from abroad. Thus, in addition to understanding the problem of food security in Japan, this paper also focuses on the need to increase self-sufficiency in food.
The relevance of this work is due to the fact that at present the problem of suicide among persons engaged in their professional activities in an extreme environment, which include the military and law enforcement officials, is of great concern to the public and the leadership, the Armed forces and law enforcement agencies in different countries. Most of the previous studies have shown that suicide among the considered category of persons adversely affects the combat readiness of the unit and may even lead to a negative attitude in General to the service in the army or law enforcement. In this regard, the authors attempted to analyze the positive experience associated with the prevention of suicidal behavior in the US Armed forces. In the course of the research General scientific and special methods were applied, which allowed to draw reasoned conclusions. Studying the positive experience of suicide prevention in American servicemen, the authors came to the conclusion that the military and political leadership of the us Armed forces not only realized the importance of countering suicidal behavior, but also takes the necessary measures to minimize the phenomenon under consideration. The authors also note that currently in the Armed forces and law enforcement agencies should focus on the need for commanders and direct managers of mental health of soldiers and personnel, including to mitigate the effects of combat stress. The practical significance of the study is expressed in the possibility of using in our country the positive foreign experience in the prevention of mental disorders and suicidal behavior among specialists of dangerous professions. Due to the urgent need to reduce the psychotraumatic impact of negative factors on the group under consideration.
