Problems of qualifying of crimes related to illegal traffic in personal data
Abstract
The subject of research is the norms of Russian criminal legislation related to the illegal circulation of information containing personal data and the judicial practice of their application, both before and after the inclusion of Article 272.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The purpose of the research is to compare the qualification of crimes related to the illegal circulation of information containing personal data before and after the inclusion of Article 272.1 in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; to identify the qualification problems caused by its introduction, and to develop proposals for their resolution
Research methods: dialectical, formal-legal, comparative-legal, system-structural, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as the method of formalization.
The object of research is the social relations that arise in connection with the protection of personal data from unauthorized access, illegal use, collection, copying, storage, and transfer to other persons.
Research findings: it has been established that the inclusion of Article 272.1 in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has only partially resolved the problems of qualifying the illegal circulation of personal data that existed before. The qualification of certain manifestations of such crimes is contradictory, which leads to errors in judicial practice. To address the identified issues, it is proposed to expand the qualifying features of the crime under Part 3 of Article 272.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by including the indication of the commission of an act against two or more persons and against personal data that simultaneously constitute commercial, banking, or other legally protected secrets. The need to summarize judicial practice under this criminal law article and develop recommendations for the qualification of illegal circulation of personal data is also justified.

Location of the crime regulations, encroaching on social memory, in the system of the special part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation through the prism of social memory levels
Abstract
The subject of the research is the norms of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation aimed at protecting the social (cultural and historical) memory of the people of Russia, as well as the theoretical problems of determining their location in the system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The purpose of the research is to give a reasoned assessment of the deployment of norms on crimes against the social memory of the people of Russia in the system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation through the prism of universal and state-civil (as a type of group) levels of social memory, to formulate proposals for its optimization.
When writing the work, dialectical, general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, systemic, generalization), special (formal-legal, legal modeling) methods of cognition were used.
The object of the research is social relations developing over the preservation, strengthening and use of the social memory of the people of Russia.
Research findings: the correct approach of the domestic legislator to determining the place in the system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of the norms on crimes provided for by Art. 243-244, 282.4, 354.1, since generic and species objects of these socially dangerous acts are relevant to the levels of social memory, which are destructive. The location in the system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of the norms on crimes provided for by Art. 164, 190, 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, needs to be revised. The expediency of combining these criminal law prohibitions with a group of norms located in Ch. 25 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in connection with the proximity of the immediate objects of crimes, the specifics of their subjects, the priority of harm caused to the all-Russian social memory.

Receiving a bribe: the direct object of the crime and qualification issues
Abstract
Subject of research: the theoretical foundations for determining the direct object of bribery, provisions of Russian criminal law establishing liability for bribery, decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, and clarifications of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on anti-corruption issues.
Purpose of research: to formulate a universal definition of the direct object of bribery, based on which to develop recommendations for qualifying individual actions committed at various stages of bribery.
Research methods: The use of a formal logic method allowed for an analysis of the article's provisions and the practical application of legislative provisions concerning criminal liability for bribery. The application of formal logic, comparative legal, and systemic methods allowed for the drawing of conclusions and formulating proposals, which are contained in the main results of the study.
Object of research: public relations in the sphere of regulating the grounds and procedures for remuneration of officials.
Research findings: a clarified definition of the direct object of bribe-taking – social relations regulating the grounds and procedures for remunerating an official for actions (inaction) made possible by their official position and committed using this official position. The nature of the object of the crime also determines the objective aspect of bribe-taking, which includes a single-act action involving the direct acceptance of material assets by the individual.
Based on the clarified nature of the object and the objective aspect of this crime, a number of rules for qualifying the actions of the official receiving the bribe were formulated.

Criminological characteristics of the complicit audience of trash streams: motives, forms of participation and limits of criminal legal assessment
Abstract
Subject of research: patterns, forms, and motives of criminogenic audience participation in destructive new media practices, in particular, live demonstrations of dangerous and humiliating actions that a blogger commits against himself or other people (trash stream).
Purpose of research: based on a comprehensive criminological analysis of the phenomenon of a co-participating trash stream audience, determine the limits of the criminal law assessment of its actions and propose optimal preventive measures.
Research methods: the research is based on dialectical and systematic approaches. General scientific (analysis, synthesis) and specific scientific (comparative legal, specific sociological) methods are used. The empirical base comprises the results of the author’s survey, content analysis of Telegram channels, as well as an analysis of judicial practice.
Objects of research: the complicit audience of trash streams, creators of destructive content (streamers, bloggers), digital platforms (Telegram, YouTube), as well as the norms of Russian criminal and administrative legislation.
Research findings: the paper substantiates that the audience of new media acts not as a passive observer, but as an active accomplice in the criminogenic system of «platform – content producer – viewer». Three forms of complicity are identified and analyzed: financial (donations), informational-approving (likes, comments, reposts) and behavioral-imitative (reproduction of deviant scenarios). A set of motives for complicity is revealed: entertainment, instrumental motive, herd instinct, identification with the aggressor, unawareness of harm. The inexpediency of mass criminal prosecution of the complicit audience is proved due to the principle of economy of repression and procedural impossibility. A system of preventive measures is proposed, including blocking financial flows (donations) through a register of unscrupulous streamers, liability of advertisers, identification of recipients of large sums (KYC procedures) and formation of «digital immunity» among the population.

Predicting the risk of postoperative complications at the stage of preoperative assessment: a comparative analysis of machine learning models
Abstract
Subject of research: evaluation of the methodological limitations and applicability of machine learning algorithms for preoperative prediction of postoperative complications based on structured clinical and laboratory data of limited dimensionality.
Purpose of research: to comparatively assess the robustness and discriminative capacity of classical and ensemble machine learning classifiers in the task of preoperative risk stratification under constrained feature space conditions typical of routine clinical assessment.
Research methods: implementation of logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting algorithms applied to structured medical datasets. Model performance was evaluated using the AUC-ROC metric, Accuracy, F1-score, and 5-fold cross-validation to ensure stability and generalizability of results.
Objects of research: binary classification modeling performed on a synthetic dataset (n = 5,000) comprising 15 demographic, laboratory, and anamnestic variables simulating standard preoperative clinical information.
Research findings: all evaluated models demonstrated moderate discriminative performance (AUC-ROC range 0.53–0.59). Ensemble methods did not exhibit a statistically significant advantage over the linear model under static and low-dimensional data conditions. The results indicate that predictive performance is highly dependent on the structure, completeness, and informativeness of input features. The study highlights methodological constraints in applying classical machine learning approaches to preoperative risk assessment and establishes structural requirements for clinical datasets necessary to achieve clinically meaningful predictive accuracy.

Finite difference simulation of three-dimensional micropolar fluid flow in a cubic cavity with a moving upper wall
Abstract
Subject of research: numerical methods for solving micropolar fluid dynamics equations applied to three-dimensional flows in confined cavities.
Purpose of research: development and testing of a finite-difference algorithm for modeling three-dimensional micropolar fluid flow in a cubic lid-driven cavity, ensuring stability and high accuracy.
Research methods: the finite difference method on a uniform grid with an upwind scheme for convective terms is used; the coupled system of Navier-Stokes and microrotation equations is solved using the projection method for pressure; verification is performed by comparison with the analytical solution for a Newtonian fluid and convergence analysis on successively refined grids.
Objects of research: three-dimensional micropolar fluid flow in a cubic lid-driven cavity; the influence of the micropolarity parameter on the flow structure and dissipative characteristics.
Research findings: the developed method demonstrates second-order spatial convergence; the relative error in the central cross-section of the cavity compared to the analytical solution for a Newtonian fluid does not exceed 2.4×10-4. It is established that an increase in the micropolarity parameter leads to a nonlinear deformation of the velocity profile (deviation up to 18 % at N = 0.9) and an increase in integral dissipation by a factor of 2.8. The algorithm is stable within the ranges Re ∈ [1,50], N ∈ [0,0.9], m ∈ [0.1,0.5].

Adaptive semantically-oriented quantization of deep neural networks
Abstract
Subject of research: an algorithm for adaptive semantics-oriented quantization of deep neural networks that ensures the separability of objects with a high degree of visual similarity.
Purpose of research: to develop an adaptive semantics-oriented quantization algorithm with minimal loss of recognition accuracy for objects in hard-to-distinguish classes and a high degree of compression in the digital implementation.
Research methods: numerical analysis of the normalized matrix of identification errors for objects of overlapping classes. Evaluation of the contribution of weight tensors to class separability in feature space to determine the semantic significance of neural network layers. Heterogeneous distribution of the bit depth of weight coefficients and intermediate activations based on estimates of the cumulative sensitivity curve parameters. Quantization-Aware Training procedure with selective freezing of detection layers.
Objects of research: methods for compressing deep neural networks in computer vision.
Research findings: a heterogeneous bit-depth distribution, preserving the FP32 (32-bit floating-point) format only for 29 % of semantically significant layers, allows maintaining recognition accuracy (Mean Average Precision, mAP@0.5) at 98.6 % of the accuracy of the baseline, unquantized model. The method proposed in this work, tested on the YOLOv8n architecture, achieves a 2.78-fold compression of the FP32 model. Furthermore, for hard-to-distinguish objects, it outperforms the standard PTQ (Post-Training Quantization) and the homogeneous approach QAT (Quantization-Aware Training) in terms of recall (the proportion of correctly detected objects of a given class) and the F1 score (the harmonic mean of precision and recall, in the range [0, 1]).
