HRI and Personality Perception: Comparison of the Personality Evaluation of a Teleoperated Humanoid Robot and Human Interlocutor
Authors: Sakka Sophie
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with the personality perception of a humanoid robot when talking to it in a natural manner, using the wizard of Oz. An experiment involving 20 subjects was performed, to compare two heteroevaluation characteristics: identity perception of human vs. humanoid, and identity perception differences when interacting with a human directly or with the same human through the robot mediation. The experiment was organized in three interactions: with a woman, with a man, and with a humanoid robot. The evaluation uses the OCEAN inventory. The results show that the subjects create for the teleoperated robot an identity of its own, which differs from the one attributed to the teleoperator. The robot was generally perceived as having less interest in art, lacking more imagination or ingenuity, being less open-minded than the human controlling it. The perception of emotional stability is greater: the absence of the human envelope allows a person to appear more stable. We identified two statistical groups in the robot evaluation, depending on the consideration of the robotic technology by the subjects: their perception of the robot conscientiousness, extroversion and agreeableness varies according to the subjects, unlike the personality of the teleoperator.

Authors: Heitplatz Vanessa N. , Wilkens Leevke , Lueg Marie-Christin , Pelka Bastian , Dirks Susanne
Published: August 2023

The Easy Reading Framework is a digital tool that can be used to make existing web pages accessible to the individual needs of a wide range of people. The core of this Framework is a toolbar, which currently includes 13 different functions. The potential for multiple applications of the Easy Reading Framework is being investigated and promoted in the recent Easy Reading follow-up project “EVE4all”. In this project, Personas play an important role in the first project phase to raise end-user acceptance. Personas represent specific target groups and share the same characteristics, traits, social environments, and circumstances as the intended target group. Working with this method enables developers and project participants to identify with the users of their products and their lifeworld. Our project shows that this method can be used to reflect on and use the introduction of any technology in institutions in a theoretically well-founded way. Thus, this paper aims to illustrate how this method can be successfully transferred into the pedagogical context and show how this method’s usage can contribute increasing user acceptance.

Authors: Leblong Emilie , Fraudet Bastien , Devigne Louise , Pasteau Francÿois , Guegan Sylvain , Babel Marie
Published: August 2023

The mobility of people with motor disabilities combined with sensory or cognitive disabilities, sometimes leads to safety issues that make independent travel impossible. In this context, teams based in Rennes in the west of France have been working together for several years to design two devices: – an power wheelchair simulator to promote learning to drive in an immersive virtual environment – a driving assistance module that can be added to an power wheelchair to pass and avoid obstacles. This transdisciplinary work was made possible by the geographical and human proximity of the scientific, technical and clinical teams in order to best meet the needs of the end users who were integrated into this co-design approach. This article describes the evolution of this work and future prospects.

Published: August 2023

Communication for people with motor impairments is a difficult, yet necessary, task in daily activities. To do so, soft keyboards, digital counterpart of physical keyboards, are used. Depending on their features, several designs can be considered, however their thoughtful evaluation in real-life is not feasible. Therefore, it becomes necessary to filter the possible configurations wisely, taking advantage of simulation tools. This paper presents STAACS3, a Simulation Tool for AAC with Single-Switch scanning, that allows to model and simulate the performance of any type of scanning keyboard regardless of its keys configuration, scanning strategy or prediction systems.

Access to inclusive and qualitative education on an equal basis is a clear right of every child, even from the very beginning in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). However, inclusive education is often not possible without access to appropriate (assistive) technologies. Notwithstanding the opportunities of technology to enhance inclusion of all children, it is still limitedly integrated by educators and teachers into their curriculum. Therefore, the SKATE project aims in gearing innovative technology as resource for inclusive education. This study describes and evaluates the preparation, the design, the implementation, and the effects of technology-based classroom activities in inclusive ECEC. The classroom activities are developed and implemented by school teams of 14 preschools spread over four European (EU) countries. A total of 50 school team members participated in a SKATE Learning Programme. This resulted in more than 20 technology-based inclusive class activities, created by school teams together with technology experts. Across the four countries, approximately 330 pre-schoolers, with and without special educational needs (SEN), participated. At this moment, 13 school team members from four EU countries and 45 parents from two EU countries evaluated the technology-based inclusive classroom activities. Nearly all teachers agreed that the activity promoted the inclusion of all children. Teachers reported that most of the children enjoyed the activity. This was confirmed in the evaluation by the parents. Most parents had the impression that the activity was meaningful, joyful and inclusive for all children.
The Right to Assistive Technology and Accessible Instructional Materials for U.S. Students Does Not Consistently Translate into Predictable Access and Effective Use
Authors: Mineo Beth A. , Morrison Katrina K. , Cordero Tania C. , Sibert Ronald I.
Published: August 2023

Students in the United States have federally-established rights regarding access to assistive technology (AT) devices and services, yet those rights are not consistently upheld for a variety of reasons acknowledged in the literature. We conducted a interview-based study with 48 education professionals, family members and students to analyze the facilitators and barriers that influence AT access for students in the State of Delaware. Study results were consistent with the extant literature, and revealed numerous violations of student rights guaranteed under U.S. special education law. Some barriers were attitudinal, yet most arose from the inadequacy of infrastructures: professionals lacked training, funding was inadequate or difficult to access and, in most areas, there was no definitive guidance relative to the processes that should be followed and how decisions regarding AT-related decisions regarding devices and services should be documented. Elements revealed to facilitate AT access and use were the availability of resources — highly-qualified personnel, time, training, funds, and access to devices — and persistence among educators and family members in pursuing AT solutions for students.
PREREQUISITES FOR THE RENOVATION OF POST-INDUSTRIAL AREAS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ZAPORIZHZHIA ALUMINUM PLANT
Authors: Zakharova Svetlana , Fostashchenko Olena , Arhipova Katherine , Hondar Serhii , Fostashchenko Danylo
Published: August 2023

Industrial areas of cities play a significant role in shaping the urban planning system. In the historical context, a large number of cities were formed around factories, which were the dominant and starting point in the formation of the city, and the rural areas were later inhabited by the "industrial core".

In the existing urban planning structure of the city, it is difficult to find areas for construction in the center or on the borders of already established districts. Most industrial giants in Ukraine were created during the industrialization of the country in the 1930s. Entire cities were built around the factories under construction. On land plots outside the city limits or on the territories of decaying industrial enterprises, "ghost" areas are formed, which only hint that there was once a large production facility. Former zones of industrial enterprises and factories form empty territories in the dense urban development, with gaping holes in the city plan, surrounded by established residential areas. A similar situation has developed in the city of Zaporizhzhia.

The city, which gained industrial development between the October Revolution and the Great Patriotic War, was home to Dniproges, Zaporizhstal, Dnipro Aluminum Plant, Zaporizhkoks, and others. Nowadays, the city is home to both city-forming enterprises (metallurgical and chemical industries) and a fairly large number of other industrial enterprises of various classes, some of which have long been outdated and decayed.

The prerequisites for the renovation of post-industrial areas were considered, as well as the prospects for the impact of the renovation on the basis of the existing domestic and foreign experience were revealed.

A number of different factors affecting renovation processes in the existing urban planning situation with the influence of all existing and possible processes have been identified.

Prerequisites for the renovation of deteriorating industrial facilities and their territories are determined, using the example of the city of Zaporizhzhia Aluminum Plant.
VOLUME-SPATIAL PLANNING AN INTEGRATED METHOD OF URBAN SPACE FORMATION
Authors: Kolosha Maryna
Published: August 2023

This article discusses an integrated method of urban space formation, which is based on the characteristics and principles of existing approaches, methods and techniques of planning urbanised areas. The objective of this method is to improve and create a high-quality urban fabric without uncontrolled development and visual noise. The main principles, tools and elements of urban space formation by the integrated method of volume-spatial planning of territories were identified.

In the previous article, which was published in the collection "Urban Development and Territorial Planning", issue №81 on the topic: "Volume-spatial planning of urban space - an improved methodology for designing territories and urban development" considered the general methodology for the formation of urban space by the integrated method of volume-spatial planning of territories, established the main stages of design and their content. In this article, the main principles, tools, and elements of the integrated method are considered in more detail, and explanations are given for the division of street space from quiet to highly active. The main elements of urban space design using the integrated method of volumetric and spatial planning, which describe both the form and its content, are presented and defined.

Integration of existing approaches and methods of urban space formation allows combining existing planning principles and methods, their features and tools, which, in the author's opinion, is the method that will allow formulating in a short time the comfortable space that a "modern" resident needs in a particular area.

In this article, it is proposed to focus in more detail on the planning characteristics of the territory in terms of street space activity and design elements, which determine the formative aspects of the integrated method of space-volume planning.

The volume-spatial planning of territories is an integrated method of urban space design, which includes planning elements with indicators in accordance with the functional use and volumetric-spatial characteristics of the territory, which are determined in accordance with planning zones established in accordance with the cross-section of the street space.

The formation of urban space by the integrated method of volume-spatial planning is possible only when the design is carried out according to a clear methodology and according to certain key elements in accordance with the current norms, rules, established composition and characteristics on the ground. The main tool for shaping urban space using the integrated design method is to determine the characteristics of the territory along the intersection of the street space and establish the main design elements, which will allow determining both the physical form of the area and its functional content.
CLUSTER ORGANIZATION AS A PROSPECTIVE WAY OF REVITALIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL TERRITORIES IN POLTAVA
Authors: Lukash Yevheniia
Published: August 2023

Abandoned industrial territories are a significant problem for the spatial organization of Ukrainian cities and their economy. such industrial zones occupy a significant area in cities - from 12-18% to 23-27%. The planning of industrial districts took place in accordance with the industrial policy of the past. such large-scale productions in terms of types and structure are no longer needed. Empty industrial buildings and infrastructure facilities become burdensome for the city's economy, and also significantly affect the aesthetic and ecological component of the city. Poltava faced the fact that in terms of urban planning, the decline of industrial areas has led to the fact that industrial areas are in deep stagnation or operate semi-legally and unsystematically without taking into account the needs of the city and the community. 

The most advanced approach is to change the functional purpose, but this process is bureaucratic and not always effective for attracting investments. The revitalization of production and the creation of new jobs is important, which makes it possible to envisage the revitalization of degraded industrial areas in the spatial development strategies of cities and use them for the development of cities, including the creation of innovative structures (high-tech clusters, industrial parks, technology parks).

So far, there are no normative legal acts in Ukraine that sometimes regulate the organization of such clusters. The closest functional content is the concept of "innovation structure", the creation of which is regulated by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 22, 1996. No. 549 "On the approval of the Regulation on the procedure for the creation and operation of technology parks and innovative structures of other types" 

Possibilities of renovating inactive industrial enterprises within cities and their integration into the city system without changing their purpose are considered. Modern trends in the revitalization of industrial areas and prospects for ecological stabilization in cities are analyzed. 

The prospect of further research is the identification and implementation of principles and methods of spatial organization of the revitalization of industrial territories.
TERRITORIAL PLANNING, PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS IN ENERGY-EFFICIENT ECOLOGICAL SETTLEMENTS IN THE TERRITORY OF THE KHARKIV REGION
Authors: Nyzhnyk Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

The article studies the territory of Kharkiv region, identifies favourable territorial, natural, climatic and geographical conditions. A comprehensive study of the design, construction and development of energy-efficient ecological settlements was carried out, taking into account the terrain (territorial, insolation level, orientation to the cardinal points, and methods of placement). The article describes and presents building layouts and energy-saving systems that should be used in the design of energy-efficient ecological settlements. The concept of an energy-efficient ecological settlement in the Kharkiv region has been developed, taking into account all the necessary requirements. 

The purpose of the publication is to provide urban planning substantiation of planning decisions, namely, the methods of location and energy-saving systems of buildings for the development of the concept of an energy-efficient ecological settlement in the Kharkiv region. The publication aims to identify areas with comfortable living conditions, create a model of territorial planning and use of public spaces. 

Based on the above, it can be concluded that before starting the design, one should carefully select the optimal territory based on natural resources and climatic indicators to determine the conditions for the quality use of alternative energy sources for this territory. When designing energy-saving buildings, it is necessary to consider the elements that will help them accumulate energy for their autonomy.

For example, through the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar panels, geothermal heat pumps and wind turbines, an energy-efficient ecological settlement will be completely autonomous and independent of external communications.

Following these requirements, a generalised concept of an energy-efficient ecological settlement in the Kharkiv region was developed. The planning solutions focus on environmental protection, economy, energy saving and full autonomy.
ACHIEVING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS DURING THE RECONSTRUCTION OF UKRAINE
Authors: Bazylevych Viktoriya
Published: August 2023

The reconstruction of Ukraine opens up opportunities for the creation of more progressive and high-quality architecture. 

So far, among some specialists in our industry, sustainable development (SD) is primarily associated with energy efficiency, environmental friendliness of materials, and innovative technological solutions. 

In 2019, the UN formulated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) until 2030, among them, for example, #3. Good health and well-being. #4. Quality education. #12. Responsible consumption and production. 

The most realistic for direct achievement in the conditions of reconstruction are the SDGs: #11, 12, 4, 6, 7, 9, 3, 13, 16, and 17. 

During the reconstruction of Ukraine, the following approaches should be implemented to achieve the SDGs: 

1. Inform the community about the developed solutions for achieving the SDGs. 2. Restore only the minimum number of roads necessary for convenient communication (this is related to CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, etc.). 3. To give preference to modernization and restoration of destroyed buildings over the construction of new ones. 4. Provide optimal (which tends towards comfortable, minimally necessary) solutions for new buildings. The implementation of p. 2-4 will ensure a reduction in the volume of the ecological rucksack of roads and structures.

It should be taken into account that the places of mass death of people are geopathogenic zones unfavorable for the long-term stay of people. 

5. When designing projects, avoid using forms, proportions, and aesthetic properties of materials that may cause in population associations related to the events experienced during the war (goal #3). 6. Use materials for reconstruction that can be reused or recycled in the future. 7. Encourage voluntary certification of buildings according to the BREEAM (Great Britain) and LEED (USA) systems. 8. Simultaneously implement measures to ensure SD at the level of cities in general.

The developed concepts regarding cities' SD are designed for their implementation "from top to bottom". Due to the insufficient awareness of the community, its opportunities for the implementation of SD programs are not sufficiently used. 

The proposed approaches to achieving the SDGs during the reconstruction of Ukraine will allow for achieving not an instant, but a gradual, long-lasting effect on ensuring the sustainability of the environment.
THEORETICAL CONCEPTS AND URBAN PLANNING PRACTICE IN KYIV AT THE BORDER OF THE 19-20th CENTURIES
Authors: Erofalov Boris
Published: August 2023

The article examines the first attempts to theoretically understand the problems of Kyiv's development due to the creation of new suburban settlements within the framework of a new subject area, urban planning, at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. As a response to the growing challenges of the big city and industrialization, land engineers and city authorities initiated specialized suburban projects to improve urban planning as a whole. Along with this, new urban planning theories were developed and targeted financial programs for the purchase of land by the City Duma were used as an effective urban planning tool. The liquidation of the administrative project "City of Alexandria" and the inclusion of this suburban settlement within the boundaries of Kyiv should be attributed to the successful organizational urban planning actions of the Kyiv Duma. 

Also, this short survey shows the creative interpretation of the concept of "garden city" by E. Howard in domestic research and projects of the beginning of the 20th century. Such pioneering attempts include: the idea of combining the advantages of the city and the village at the same time in the new layout of M.G. Dykanski; the "garden city" project by G.D. Dubelir on Kyiv's Solomyanka; project of the village-garden of Vyshhorod-Mezhihirya by M.P. Zuyev; development of urban functional zoning and "free plan" in the studios of H.P. Kovalevski. 

Valid examples of the use of the "garden city" idea by domestic planners, from the author's point of view, seem very relevant at the moment in the situation of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine and the rethinking of the resettlement system in the country on the principles of people-centeredness, in contrast to the Soviet industrial principle of urban sprawl and post-Soviet neglect of any what rules.
Natural Surveillance and Natural Access Control: Implementation strategies for enhancing Safety in Indian Neighborhoods
Authors: Jajoriya Shubham , Singh Pooja
Published: August 2023

The safety and security of Indian neighbourhoods are of utmost importance in ensuring the well-being of residents. Frequently we come to know the accidental jeopardies and causalities wherein, sometimes, compromised/neglected city planning aspects and crime prevention strategies seem responsible. In such cases, natural surveillance plays a vital role by utilizing the physical environment and human behaviour to maximize visibility and observation, while natural access control aims to guide and control the movement of people. Drawing upon the unique characteristics and challenges of Indian neighbourhoods, this paper presents a comprehensive set of implementation strategies of natural surveillance and natural access control as effective measures for enhancing safety, security and vigilance in the neighbourhoods. These strategies include promoting clear sightlines through landscape management and proper lighting, encouraging active frontages with ground floor activities, fostering community participation through neighbourhood watch programs, and establishing well-defined entrances and pathways to enhance natural access control. Additionally, the paper highlights the significance of leveraging landscaping techniques and ensuring street connectivity to create safer environments. Successful implementation requires collaboration between urban planners, architects, law enforcement agencies, and active community involvement. This study contributes to the body of knowledge related to CPTED by shedding light on the employment of its two major strategies, i.e. ‘Natural Surveillance’ and ‘Natural Access Control’, without conflicting others. By adopting these strategies, Indian neighbourhoods may cultivate a sense of safety, promote community engagement, and deter criminal activities, ultimately fostering thriving and secure communities.
Properties of elementary particles, dark matter, and dark energy
Authors: Buckholtz Thomas J.
Published: August 2023

This paper suggests new elementary particles, a specification for dark matter, and modeling regarding dark-energy phenomena. Thereby, this paper explains data that other modeling seems not to explain. Suggestions include some methods for interrelating properties of objects, some catalogs of properties, a method for cataloging elementary particles, a catalog of all known and some method-predicted elementary particles, neutrino masses, quantitative explanations for observed ratios of non-ordinary-matter effects to ordinary-matter effects, qualitative explanations for gaps between data and popular modeling regarding the rate of expansion of the universe, and insight regarding galaxy formation and evolution. Key assumptions include that nature includes six isomers of most elementary particles and that stuff that has bases in five isomers underlies dark-matter effects. Key new modeling uses integer-arithmetic equations; stems from, augments, and does not disturb successful popular modeling; and helps explain aspects and data regarding general physics, elementary-particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
Exploring the Role of Social, Economic, and Cultural Factors in Community Development: A Social Work Perspective in T/A Chimwala, Mangochi
Authors: Zaipa Christina Mercy , Matemba Daniel Devoted
Published: August 2023

Community development, a fundamental aspect of social work practice, plays a crucial role in driving positive transformation within societies by enhancing well-being and empowerment through collaborative efforts. This study focuses on Traditional Authority (T/A) Chimwala, to illuminate the dynamics that shape community advancement, emphasizing the interplay of social, economic, and cultural factors. The Strengths-Based Perspective, aligning with social work principles, guides the study in identifying and categorizing influential factors for tailored interventions. By analyzing the impacts of these factors, the research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of community development dynamics, addressing a literature gap within the context of T/A Chimwala. The study reveals that the lack of participation significantly hampers community progress, emphasizing the need for active engagement in decision-making processes. Additionally, the scarcity of resources and corruption obstruct developmental initiatives, underscoring the importance of transparent governance. The societal structure and cultural elements, such as language and religion, also significantly impact development trajectories. Socioeconomic factors, including education, occupation, family dynamics, income, and societal structure, collectively shape community progress. Notably, religion emerges as a strong cultural influence, and family size, income, and education further contribute to developmental outcomes. These findings offer valuable insights for social work practitioners to enhance interventions and strategies for sustainable community development. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics influencing community development within the context of T/A Chimwala. By bridging literature gaps and harnessing the Strengths-Based Perspective, social workers can empower communities, address challenges, and promote positive change. Active community participation, transparent governance, and a holistic approach to socioeconomic and cultural factors are essential for fostering resilient and empowered societies.
Psychiatric Diagnostic Classification System Based on New Forms of Parenting Practices: Narrative Review and Invite for A Rethink
Authors: Venkatesan Srinivasan
Published: August 2023

New styles of parenting, such as hyper, hypo, atypical, and indifferent, have replaced the permissive, authoritarian, authoritarian, and neglectful styles of parenting that characterized child-adolescence psychology in the 1970s and 1980s. New parenting practices such as co-parenting, attachment parenting, positive parenting, LGBTQ parenting, free-range parenting, increased father involvement to support gender equality, and increased use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, mums-net parenting, and intentional single-mother families, donor-conception, surrogacy, and families with trans-parents have changed the parenting landscape dramatically in recent years. Advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, genetic testing, and brain imaging are expected to bring about further changes in parenting practices. A rethink of the prevailing child-adolescent psychiatric diagnostic classification system may be called for because it challenges traditional notions of what constitutes "normal" or "healthy" parenting. Researchers and clinicians may need to reconsider how they define and diagnose disordered conditions in light of these changing parenting practices. Parents may have to be moved out of their present position as observers, reporters, and even treatment agents. This evidence-gathering narrative review aims to initiate the idea that parents should be made the focus of a diagnostic classification system as well as treatment instead of children. Overall, the proposed branch of parent and carer psychiatry—where parents, not their children, are made the focus of diagnostic categories—if it happens, would embarrass the rank and file of child and adolescent psychiatry.
Is creeping abandonment of human cancer defences evolutionarily favoured?
Authors: Rahm Alexander D. , Pratley Pierre
Published: August 2023

Among observed animal species, humans exhibit a remarkably elevated lifetime cancer risk (over 38%), in stark contrast to less than 10% seen in other observed species (excluding those affected by environmental pollution). Peto's paradox suggests that these observations defy explanation through mathematical models treating cancer genesis as a stochastic process, with risks resulting from lifespan and body mass. For instance, whales, despite longer lifespans and roughly 30 times the size of humans, maintain consistent cancer risk throughout life, differing from the pronounced increase after female reproductive age observed in humans. It is well-documented in the literature that species-specific tumor suppression mechanisms allow for large lifespan and body mass. Examination of data from chimpanzees, a closely related species, suggests—without definitive evidence—a major difference between chimpanzee and human cancer risk. This leads to the conjecture that vulnerability of cancer defence mechanisms in humans might have emerged due to the unique evolutionary trajectory of the genus _Homo_. Given that this vulnerability emerges after reproductive years, a prevailing hypothesis attributes it to antagonistic pleiotropy. However, considering _Homo's_ historical existence in small tribes throughout much of evolution, we suggest that natural selection may have also operated at the tribal level. Consequently, our hypothesis, "Is creeping abandonment of human cancer defences evolutionarily favored?" arises from two alternative speculative scenarios. One proposition rests on the notion that diminishing tumor suppression activities could confer a calorie-saving advantage, particularly beneficial for tribes with limited food resources. The other proposition suggests that creeping abandonment of cancer defences might promote genetic diversity.

COVID-19 was detected in Iran in February 2020, and until September 2020, all the provinces of the country were affected by this disease [1]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many older adults received a lot of stress and anxiety from the media and society, which caused them to become socially isolated and depressed. On the other hand, creating quarantine and social distancing as a policy adopted by countries caused fear and stress among people, especially older adults. This situation in countries where the dominant culture is meeting and interacting with older adults caused more damage to this group [2, 3].

Some problems of vibrational spectroscopy of particles in condensed systems are considered in this work. One of the aspects of theoretical research is the study of the vibrational properties of individual particles in view of the nano-dimension of the molecules of the condensed system surrounding the particle. Using the apparatus of temperature, Green functions of the operators of polarization of condensed systems, two main mechanisms of influence on impurity particles from the medium, solvation and fluctuation, are distinguished. Theoretical results are obtained within the framework of these two mechanisms for calculating changes in the vibrational spectrum of individual particles. The theoretical results are used to analyze the experimental data on the vibrational spectra of the N2O molecule in polar solvents: methanol, ethyl alcohol, acetone, and 1,2-dichloroethane.

The present work is dedicated to the very important area of analytical chemistry—extractionphotometric determination of ions from a solid phase. We carried out studies on the extraction of nickel picrate (NiPik2) from the solid phase using solutions of tetrahalobicyclic reagents of the acetylene series with a dicarbonyl bridge in the side chain (L1, L2, L3, L4) of chloroform. New organic ligands were synthesized and their physicochemical properties - melting point, molecular weights, as well as their optical density studied. A new technique for the extraction-photometric determination of the nickel ion from the solid phase was developed. It found that new organic reagents (L1-L4) exhibit high extraction ability (0.11-0.64 mg/l) of Ni ions from the solid phase. When comparing the extraction activity of the studied reagents, it was revealed that the ability to extract organic ligands of tetrahalobicyclic reagents (L1-L4) changes in the following order: L4> L3> L1> L2.

The article considers the transition from the empirical to the theoretical level of in-depth research of the term "economic behavior" of individuals. It is determined that the political and economic direction of research will provide a detailed objective definition of the internal economic reasons for the choice of an individual behavioral model.It isshown that economic behavior is a "reflection", an external form of economic activity of society, individual entities and their groups. The economic behavior of individuals is studied mainly from the standpoint of the empirical level of scientific knowledge. In this sense, the term reflects the real economic activity in which the subjects operate, from the outside, as a form of manifestation of their economic activity. It is the political and economic direction of research in economic theory that clarifies not only the external factors of influence or internal physiological reasons for an individual's actions, but also the internal objective grounds for forming a certain behavioral model that realizes primarily economic interests and sub status. in production and economic activities, in the process of reproduction of production, distribution, exchange, or market, consumer relations of society. Within the political and economic direction of research, structural and process-reproductive approaches are used in this way, which significantly enriches the theoretical and empirical research of the term "economic behavior". Thus, we must conclude that there is a need for in-depth analysis of behavior patterns not only of individuals but also of other economic actors, gradually moving from the empirical to the theoretical level of research, and linking behavioral patterns with changes in economic activity, and finally , with transformations of property relations and socialstatuses ofsubjects, instead of with any secondary and tertiary, etc. factors.It is determined that the deep basis of changes in models of economic behavior of individuals are changes in their economic activities, property relations, social status of the subjects of a particular society. The consequences of the application of psychophysical, behavioral, economic-sociological, economic-institutional, economic-legal directions of research, which clarify the influence of non-economic (mental, subjective-psychological, mental, legal, etc.)factors on the choice of models of human economic behavior, are described.

В даній статті приділено увагу особливостям нотаріальних функцій посадових осіб органів місцевого самоврядування. Розкрито їх види та порядок провадження. Визначено, що контроль за організацією нотаріальної діяльності, дотриманням порядку вчинення нотаріальних дій, виконанням правил нотаріального діловодства уповноважених на це посадових осіб органів місцевого самоврядування здійснюється Міністерством юстиції України. Основним нормативним актом, яким урегульована нотаріальна діяльність посадових осіб органів місцевого самоврядування є Порядок вчинення нотаріальних дій посадовими особами органів місцевого самоврядування Посадові особи місцевого самоврядування щодо охорони спадкового права застосовують заходи щодо охорони спадкового майна не пізніше наступного дня з дати надходження заяви або доручення про наявність спадкового майна, яке потребує охорони. Для такої охорони спадкового майна посадова особа проводить опис майна, призначає його охоронця та передає майно йому на зберігання. Опис майна виражається у вигляді акту. До акту опису Відзначено, що на сьогодні система нормативно-правових актів, якими урегульовано діяльність посадових осіб місцевого самоврядування, що наділені обов’язком посвідчувати права, а також факти, що мають юридичне значення, та вчиняти інші нотаріальні дії є недостатньо деталізованим у визначенні повноважень даних суб’єктів та умов отримання правового статусу, що приводить до розбіжностей у трактуванні та можливості юридичних конфліктів. В той же час законодавцем невизначні правила забезпечення безпеки персональних даних клієнтів, що отримують нотаріальні послуги, що може призвести до витоку даних або порушення конфіденційності. Саме тому законодавство України в цій сфері потребує реформування та удосконалення. В той же час, на наш погляд, для покращення якості діяльності даних суб’єктів важливо проводити належне навчання та підвищувати рівень обізнаності зазначених осіб. Це може включати інформаційні кампанії, навчальні кейси, які допоможуть даним суб’єктам підвищувати свій професійний рівень.
