Published: December 2023

In the context of the transformation of the world economy and fierce competition for the buyer due to "natural selection," enterprises remain functioning, and the architecture of business processes is built efficiently and efficiently. In other words, any socio-economic entity develops sustainably, defends its interests, and is competitive in the market if the benefits exceed the costs of ensuring its business processes. That is, in the end, the activity becomes effective. Therefore, to provide the enterprise with a stable profit and reduce costs, it becomes necessary to implement competent management of business processes, the problem of which remains relevant today. The emergence of the "business process" concept is associated with the development of industrial society and the industrial industry. The development of industrial production contributed to the formation of a chain of technically more complex tasks, for the implementation of which narrow specialists with specific knowledge and skills began to be allocated. This led to an increase in labor productivity and an increase in the efficiency of enterprises, which contributed to the emergence of the concept of "business processes" of the enterprise. The formation and management of the organization's business processes are the main elements of the organization's entrepreneurial activity. The paper discloses theoretical and methodological approaches to the essence and content of enterprise business processes. Various definitions of the concept of «business processes» have been monitored, their essential characteristics have been specified, and their role in forming the organization's indicators has been indicated. Systematization of types of business processes as an essential aspect of modeling business processes of enterprise is carried out. Summing up the results of the study of the essence of the category of «business processes» in the evolution of the scientific vision, it is necessary to distinguish the technical (focused on automation and standardization) and economic (managerial) directions of the definitions of this concept. Each business process within the system interacts with other business processes and is aimed at achieving the overall goals of the system (enterprise) through achieving the goals set for it.

Published: December 2023

This mixed methods study, employing embedded design, aimed to ascertain the evident flouting maxim statements by the teachers and students during classroom interaction as depicted in five selected movies and how teachers and students react to and use flouting maxim statements. It also aimed to determine the significant difference between the occurrence of observed and non-observed flouting in classroom interactions. Results yielded that out of the 35 dialogues, 11 dialogues observed the cooperative principle and its conversation maxims while 24 dialogues deviated. Through IDI and FGD, the researcher unearthed the six essential themes in teachers' and students' reactions to and use of flouting maxim statements. Results revealed that there is no significant difference in the number of observed flouting maxims between teachers and students in terms of maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner. In integrating the data, three focal points were obtained namely: the sensitivity of students over teachers in detecting flouting maxims, no significant difference in the detection of flouting maxims in a classroom interaction, and teacher and student almost significantly differ in detecting the maxim of relation. In all the focal points, the nature of data integration is embedding.
Measurement of Language Knowledge as a Controversial Elaborative Linguistic Framework
Authors: Boughoulid Mustapha , El Khatmi Abdelkrim
Published: December 2023

This article is an attempt to determine the significance of vocabulary knowledge by describing its components and features on the basis of different existing models in such a way as to explore the language knowledge measurement criteria and find out the extent to which language knowledge is adequately measured. In fact, a plethora of research has been conducted on teaching and learning vocabulary, and testing vocabulary size. Though this linguistic element has been a controversial issue for so long, many scholars in the field of linguistics agreed upon the utility and the crucial role it has in relation to language teaching, learning, and testing. However, the investigation of the vocabulary knowledge takes into consideration three different aspects. The first aspect deals with vocabulary measurement, with the clarification of the differentiation between language knowledge in terms of its inference and language performance in terms of its observation. The second aspect examins the meaning of “word knowledge” by distinguishing between receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. The third aspect deals with the qualitative aspect of the learners’ vocabulary knowledge in terms of understanding by identifying “breadth” and “depth”. This article also paves the way for the review of vocabulary size and the counting of family words on the basis of rigorous empirical studies in this field.

Published: December 2023

Virtual Reality (VR) technology provides the sensation of immersion in virtual digital spaces, through interactions that occur in different dimensions of perceptions. Considering the lack of research involving VR in evaluations of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Emotional Design, and User Experience, the present study aimed to investigate the state-of-the-art in this subject. For this, a systematic literature review was carried out. The question to be answered is: How do users change behavior in visual interaction with different artifacts in real and virtual environments and how that influences the perception (emotional, semantic, and usability) of individuals? Structured analyzes were applied to scientific articles that address the experience of healthy adult participants and their interaction relationship with environments and artifacts immersed in VR. After screening and in-depth reading steps, 27 articles were selected for meta-analysis discussions. The results point to the existence of a scientific gap since the works found and analyzed only partially answered the research question, which, because of this, may indicate an open field for studies involving VR This technology can be a viable tool with potential of assisting and complementing the methodological processes already consolidated in the Design and Human Factors areas.

A neural network for monitoring and characterization of buildings
Authors: ROMAŃSKA-ZAPAŁA Anna , DUDZIK Marek , KUC Sabina
Published: December 2023

This paper continues work from part 1 where a high precision estimator for energy efficiency and indoor environment based on artificial neural networks (ANN) was examined. Part 1 demonstrated that creating a precise representation of a mathematical relationship one must evaluate the stability and fitness under randomly changing initial conditions. Now, we extend our requirements for the model to be rapid and precise. At the end of this work we obtain a road map for the design and evaluation of ANN-based estimators of the given performance aspect in a complex interacting environment. This paper also shows that ANN system designed may have a high precision in characterizing the response of the building exposed to variable outdoor climatic conditions. The absolute value of the relative errors, MaxAR, is less than 2%. It proves that monitoring and ANN-based characterization approach can be used for different buildings, including those with the best environmental performance.

Purpose: Evaluation of nephrotoxicity by renal scintigraphy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving radionuclide therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617.

   Material and methods: In this work the data obtained by renal scintigraphy using two radiopharmaceutical drugs 99mTc-MAG3 and 99mTc-DTPA were analyzed in 32 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving radionuclide therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617.

   Results: In all patients included in this study, both before the start of radionuclide therapy and after receiving several fractions of therapy, there were no critically significant violations of renal function. By the last fraction of radionuclide therapy on the KDIGO scale, category C1, corresponding to normal renal function, was observed in 34 % of patients, which is 6 % more than before the start of therapy. At the same time, 6 % of patients began to have significantly reduced renal function (category C3b), which was not determined in any of the patients before the start of therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617. In 13 % of patients there was a moderate decrease (category C3a) and in 47 % of patients there was a slight decrease (category C2) in renal function.

   Conclusions: Despite the prevailing concerns about nephrotoxicity caused by 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy, the glomerular filtration rate, calculated both by a formula based on creatinine levels in the blood and when using renal scintigraphy with 99mTc-DTPA, remained within the age norm in this study. At the same time, there was a tendency to increase the level of creatinine in the blood after the second fraction of radionuclide therapy, which may indicate initial functional changes in the kidneys. It was also noted that from fraction to fraction there is a gradual slowdown in the main time indicators of filtration and excretory kidney function (according to dynamic renal scintigraphy), such as Tmax and T1/2, which may also indicate functional changes in the kidneys against the background of therapy.

Los parques naturales urbanos son relevantes para promover el crecimiento ecológico y sostenible de las ciudades. El Parque Natural Municipal-PNMNI, en Nova Iguaçu (Brasil), no tiene in­fraestructura física o gestión adecuada, perjudicando sus funciones socioambientales y económicas. Se propone un modelo de Alianza Público-Privada (APP) para rehabilitar el parque. La revitalización del PNMNI tiene tasas internas de retorno de inversión (TIR) del 16% y 47%, respectivamente, en dos es­cenarios evaluados, y una relación costo-beneficio superior a 10 veces. Además, el tiempo de recuperación de la inversión es inferior a 4 años en el escenario más probable. La propuesta de mode­lo de APP para parques urbanos y/o periurbanos es relevante, ya que hay pocos estudios sobre el tema en la literatura y está relacionado con temas sociales, económicos y culturales relevantes.
Perspectives of Turkish Teachers on Deaf Students’ Access to English as a Foreign Language Education
Authors: FİDAN Cigdem
Published: December 2023

In Türkiye, K-12 Deaf students often do not learn English as hearing students learn. This paper applies a qualitative approach and uses semi-structured interviews as the data source to analyze the perspectives of nine teachers of Deaf students on Deaf students' access to English as a foreign language education in Türkiye. In analysis, the study applies content analysis and considers Bourdieu's forms of capital, the theory of figured world, and social model of disability as the theoretical framework. The findings show that teachers of Deaf students in Türkiye have an ideology of Deafness as a culture, view Turkish Sign Language as the primary language of Deaf individuals, and support using sign language as a medium in Deaf education. However, teachers of Deaf students prefer postponing English as a foreign language education for Deaf students until Turkish Sign Language is fully acquired. The findings of the study suggest integrating Turkish Sign Language in K-12 Deaf education as a medium and designing education programs to teach English as a foreign language to Deaf students simultaneously without postponing learning any languages.

Authors: Okumu John Bismarck , Opio George
Published: December 2023

Teachers require improved pedagogical skills and quality for teaching in schools. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training allows teachers to think more deeply about issues that might come up in the classroom and how they can be resolved. CPD ensures all school staff have the knowledge and skills to support students and help them with their day-to-day roles. Dedicating time to CPD is vital to ensure every staff member learns and grows within their role. The objective of the study is to determine whether Continuous Professional Development improve teachers’ Pedagogical skills in teaching. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. Both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms were used to collect and present data from 14 schools. 14 Headteachers, 14 Deputy Headteachers, 14 Directors of Studies and (336) Teachers were targeted. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0 for both inferential and descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that 90% of the teachers agreed that Continuous Professional Development is a teacher training approach that aims at improving teachers’ pedagogical skills in secondary schools. The study concludes that continuous professional development is a vehicle for administrators’ and teachers’ improvement; it helps teachers enhance and acquire new ideas and skills and build confidence and competencies in teaching in secondary schools. It is recommended that CPD requires some restructuring of teachers’ work in schools to support new learning opportunities. School administrators need to develop policies and practices that provide necessary resources such as time, facilities, tools, and incentives

Of gods and (wo)men: Two wooden figurines from Sheikh Abd el-Qurna
Authors: Kaczanowicz Marta
Published: December 2023

This article discusses two wooden figurines discovered by an expedition of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, in tomb MMA 1152 in the area of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Theban necropolis. Both objects can be dated to the Dynastic phase of occupation of the site. However, in the first centuries AD, the complex was transformed into a Coptic hermitage, resulting in the decontextualization of the vast majority of Pharaonic artifacts from the tomb and its neighborhood and making the interpretation of the statuettes less straightforward than it could be assumed.

Authors: Rzeźnik Gaweł
Published: December 2023

A review of archival documentation from Tell Djassa el-Gharbi in northeastern Syria and comparative data from sites published in the last three decades have led to a reassessment of some features discovered at the site. This paper presents white-plastered basins uncovered in the topmost occupational stratum dated to the late phase of ED III/EJZ III or the beginning of the Akkadian period. The installations are divided into three general categories based on their morphology, associated features, and possible functions. Analogies to each category of basins are discussed. The Locus 1 installation is discussed in detail. Contents of a unique pottery deposit found inside this installation are described, and possible functions of this feature are proposed following analysis of the vessels and parallel finds.
Hellenistic tableware from Well S.50 in the Agora of Nea Paphos (Cyprus)
Authors: Niziołek Kamila
Published: December 2023

The paper presents tableware (TW) from a Hellenistic deposit found in Well S.50 located in the Agora of Nea Paphos, a city situated on the southwest coast of Cyprus. Based on TW pottery, this closed deposit is dated from approximately the mid-2nd century to 30 BC. The data obtained permitted to observe a three-stage process of backfilling the well in the Hellenistic period. In the second phase, it probably served as a burial place, as human remains intentionally deposited in the well may attest. The TW pottery was examined using a macroscopic method based on fabric characteristics and typology. The assemblage was divided into groups according to function, ware, and macroscopic characteristics. In addition, statistical analysis was applied to calculate the Minimum Number of Vessels (MNV) and the Estimated Vessel Equivalent (EVE), and the CReA-Patrimoine web application was used for estimating the capacity of selected vessels. The results suggest a dominant role of local Color-coated Ware produced in the Paphos region. The recurrence of forms, the quantitative share of specific shapes within functional categories, and the capacity measurements form a basis for preliminary observations concerning the eating and drinking habits in the Hellenistic city.
Archaeological Exploration, Excavation, and Analysis for a Richer Interpretation of the Past Chola Heritage City- Poompuhar
Authors: Sasilatha T. , Ashokkumar M. , Immanuel T. Baldwin , Mohendran G.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the process of collecting underwater data from the historical area in South India and explicitly showcasing its ancient civilization. Various methods are used to investigate the environmental and structural variables that regulate the coastal structures. Geostatistical interpolation is a technique to predict the values of a spatially continuous bathymetry or depth of a submerged shoreline from a few sample data measurements. The bathymetric investigation of the submerged region surrounding the ancient port of Poompuhar consists of numerous processes conducted in stages. The survey was carried out with the use of an integrated measuring system developed by the National Institute of Technology, Chennai, which included various levels of Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES), GPS, sonar, and ROV. To discover continuous surfaces required for analyzing the morphology of the bottom of submerged Poompuhar, a suitable interpolation technique must be used to get estimated values in regions that were not physically surveyed. Bathymetric and topographic data, which typically are gathered independently for various purposes, were included in the spatial data used for elevation surface modeling. Data is gathered in multiple forms with varying resolutions and accuracy; as a result, a standard surface model that will allow for quick and accurate analysis is currently lacking. The major purpose of this study was to create a high-accuracy model of a coastal area's surface using input data from numerous sources. ArcGIS is a popular software platform for analyzing and visualizing geographic data, and it contains several geostatistical interpolation techniques. The research involves the erosion of the shoreline as well as the rise in water level. The study uncovered new scientific and methodological information on Poompuhar's bathymetric properties and submerged surface.
The United States Supreme Court’s new conservative supermajority: a Constitutional Counter-revolution?
Authors: III Augustus Bonner Cochran,
Published: December 2023

The United States has the oldest written constitution in the world. Its staying power has proved remarkable, with the same brief document (fewer than ten printed pages) serving as the nation’s fundamental law since 1787 with only twenty-seven amendments (the first ten adopted immediately after its adoption, the three most important modifications coming after the Civil War in mid-19th century, and merely 11 ratified in the twentieth century, none after 1992). The basic principles embodied in the constitutions have remained constant, with separation of powers along with checks and balances and federalism shaping the basic structures of government.
Trabalho da mulher e espaço feminino no ambiente laboral: análise crítica da desigualdade entre gêneros e seus efeitos nas relações de trabalho
Authors: Andrade Fernanda Ramos Fernandes de , Teixeira Sergio Torres
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso buscou demonstrar os avanços no âmbito do direito trabalhista sob a luz da dinâmica laboral feminina, bem como incentivar o debate a respeito da importância de um ambiente de trabalho isonômico, especialmente no cenário nacional. Para atingir essa finalidade, foi utilizado o método de pesquisa indutivo-qualitativo, tendo como base referências normativas, doutrinárias, jurisprudenciais e pesquisas sociais. Dessa maneira, primeiramente, foi analisado o papel social feminino no decorrer do tempo, além dos reflexos do patriarcado na construção dos papéis de gênero. A partir disso, observou-se o processo de entrada das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e os avanços na sua regulamentação jurídica. Seguindo por este viés, apesar dos progressos, nota-se que persistem desigualdades no ambiente laboral, em razão das barreiras sociais que ainda não foram vencidas pela proteção normativa. Além disso, foi abordado como essa problemática representa desrespeito a alguns princípios norteadores perpetuados na Carta Magna brasileira. Por fim, foram expostas algumas medidas que podem atenuar esses efeitos, com o intuito de construir um ambiente de trabalho verdadeiramente isonômico.
A proibição de recurso à terceirização de serviços e o despedimento-para-terceirizar: sobre o novo artigo 338.º-a do Código do Trabalho de Portugal
Authors: Amado João Leal
Published: December 2023

Como diria Vinicius de Morais, o contrato de trabalho é como o amor: eterno enquanto dura! A verdade é que, como tantas outras, cedo ou tarde a relação jurídico‑laboral acaba por se extinguir, produzindo‑se então a ruptura definitiva do vínculo contratual. E o tema é, como se sabe, de enorme importância, tanto do ponto de vista teórico como prático, até porque muitas das questões relacionadas com a situação jurídico‑laboral apenas são discutidas no momento da sua extinção (ou após a sua extinção), pois, não raro, só então o trabalhador se sente em condições de questionar judicialmente o comportamento do empregador.

Published: December 2023

A exploração do trabalho infantil por meios digitais constitui um problema que ultrapassa fronteiras geográficas e desperta especial atenção da Organização Internacional do Trabalho - OIT, que reconhece a elevada incidência da economia informal como um desafio para os direitos dos trabalhadores e luta pela erradicação do trabalho infantil. Durante o período da pandemia global, todavia, esse tipo de exploração cresceu de forma significativa em razão de transformações operadas no cenário do entretenimento digital. Este trabalho objetiva analisar a proteção jurídica da infância diante da informalidade do trabalho prestado por crianças e adolescentes nas plataformas digitais no Brasil. Para alcançar o objetivo delimitado, desenvolveu-se pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir de uma perspectiva conceitual e normativa sobre o trabalho informal de acordo com a Recomendação nº 204 da OIT. Em seguida, foram analisadas as transformações do trabalho infantil, a partir do avanço das novas tecnologias e os riscos envolvidos na exploração desse tipo de trabalho. Por fim, foram apresentadas respostas regulatórias em face da informalidade que permeia o trabalho desenvolvido por jovens e crianças no ambiente virtual, com a proposta de incumbir a responsabilização dos pais, empresas, governos e plataformas digitais na promoção do trabalho formal, digno e decente, com vistas à proteção da infância dos mais vulneráveis.

In order to clarify the influence of peer interaction on ER, this study aimed to: (a) identify the types of emotions that the students experience in the EFL classroom, (b) determine the situations in English classes that elicit these emotions, (c) explore ER strategies employed by the students, and (d) examine the influence of peer interaction on ER. The participants in this study were 26 non-English major first-year Japanese university students who attended my English class in the spring semester of 2022. The students answered two open-ended questionnaires and the results were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The students experienced a variety of negative and positive emotions and regulated their emotions using different ER strategies in various specific situations in the English classroom. The students also perceived the positive effects of peer interaction on emotion regulation (ER), such as a decrease in negative emotions and an increase in positive emotions. This study highlights the potential benefits of peer interaction in ER and the findings contribute to ongoing discussions on the role of interaction and the importance of ER for learners in EFL classroom. 本研究は、外国語としての英語の授業内における感情調節（ER）に関する事例研究である。本研究目的は次の4つである。（a）学生が英語の授業において経験する感情の種類を明らかにすること、（b）英語の授業のどのような状況で、そのような感情が引き起こされるかを明らかにすること、（c）学生が用いる感情調整戦略を探ること、（d）感情調整に及ぼす仲間の相互作用（ピア・インタラクション）の影響を検討することである。本研究の参加者は、2022年春学期に筆者の英語の授業に出席した、英語専攻でない日本人の大学1年生26名である。学生たちは2つの自由記述式アンケートに回答し、その結果を量的・質的に分析した。その結果、学生たちは様々なネガティブな感情とポジティブな感情を経験し、授業内の様々な具体的な状況において異なるER戦略を用いて感情を調節していた。また、学生たちは、否定的感情の減少や肯定的感情の増加といった、ピア・インタラクションが感情調節に及ぼす肯定的な効果を認識していた。本研究は、感情調整におけるピア・インタラクションの潜在的利点を明らかにすることによって、外国語教室におけるインタラクションの役割と学習者にとっての感情調整についての研究に貢献するものである。

Introduction. This paper is devoted to a comparative legal analysis of digital services taxation systems in the European Union and Ukraine. In the modern conditions of the development of the e-commerce market, the question of revising the approaches to taxation of digital services is becoming more and more relevant.
The purpose of the paper is to identify and compare the specifics of the legal problems of taxation of digital services and the mechanisms for solving them in the European Union and Ukraine.
Results. The legal aspects and legal acts governing the taxation of digital services in both jurisdictions have been studied. Special attention is paid to the application of the concept of Digital Permanent Establishment (taxation based on digital presence), which is applied in the context of taxation of digital companies and their presence in countries where they do not have physical offices or branches. The authors highlighted the factors affecting the determination of the jurisdiction (country) for the provision of digital services: 1) the place of company registration; 2) physical presence; 3) location of the consumer; 4) value added tax rules and sales volume; 5) international agreements and tax treaties; 6) judicial practice; 7) rules of a specific industry.
In the conclusions, the authors cite current trends and challenges related to digital taxation, and provide recommendations for the further development of these systems. Digital taxation is a topical issue for the EU and Ukraine. Both jurisdictions have implemented systems for taxing digital services through VAT. However, it is considered important to pay more attention to international coordination and improvement of tax regimes to support the development of the digital economy and entrepreneurship.
Tax reforms during the war: analysis of social and economic consequences
Authors: SLAVKOVA Alla , KOLOMIIETS Hanna
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The taxation system in any country plays an important role in regulating economic processes and ensuring the financial stability of the state. In periods of wars and global crises, such a system becomes especially important, as taxes are one of the main sources of revenue for the budget and can significantly affect the economic situation of the country. Implementing effective tax reforms in wartime is always a difficult task. Ukraine, which is actively fighting against Russian aggression, also faced the need to implement tax reforms to ensure financial stability and support society. In these conditions, guided by the needs of the country, the Ukrainian authorities made significant changes to the taxation system. Before the introduction of tax reforms, Ukraine faced a number of serious challenges. The invasion of Russia in 2022 was accompanied by irreparable damage, occupation of territories, destruction of infrastructure, mass migration of the population and great social and economic difficulties. The war not only led to a humanitarian crisis, but also seriously undermined the financial stability of the state. Before the start of the conflict, the Ukrainian economy was already under internal stress, and military actions limited the country's ability to function normally and sustain economic growth.
The purpose of the paper is to study the effectiveness of tax reforms introduced during martial law, to analyze the social and economic consequences.
Results. To ensure financial stability in wartime conditions and overcome economic difficulties, the authorities adopted a number of measures aimed at reducing the tax burden on business and entrepreneurs. One of the key reforms was the introduction of a simplified taxation system for enterprises with a small turnover, where the tax rate was only 2% of turnover. This decision made taxation more transparent and simple for entrepreneurs, and also allowed to reduce tax payments, even in the absence of actual profit. Tax incentives have been introduced for taxes such as flat tax, value added tax, income tax, customs duty and excise duty. The state also eased the procedure for taxing charitable assistance and support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Conclusion. All these tax decisions had both positive and negative economic and social consequences. It is important to emphasize that the effectiveness of wartime tax reforms is evaluated in the long term, and their impact can be difficult to estimate in advance. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly analyze, evaluate and adjust according to the current realities and conditions of today.

Introduction. Macroeconomic stability of the state has an extremely important role for all levels of socio-economic relations. Since the factors influencing the indicators of economic recovery and growth of the state are determined by indicators of macroeconomic stability, further research and development of effective measures to manage financial risks and increase stability do not lose their relevance.
The purpose of the paper is to review and summarise the main approaches to defining the essence of the terms "macroeconomic stability" and "financial stability", considers the classification of approaches to the term "macroeconomic stability of the national economy", and indicates the main criteria for the stability of the financial system.
Results. For thorough research and focusing attention on individual areas, as a set of the most interrelated processes, phenomena, and macroeconomic dependencies, four macroeconomic sectors were singled out - internal real sector, financial (fiscal), monetary, and external economic. Three levels of ensuring the financial stability of the macroeconomic system are considered: microprudential, mesoprudential and macroprudential. Endogenous and exogenous factors influencing financial stability and the macroeconomic and macro-financial stability parameters are defined, and guidelines for effective management of the national economy are substantiated.
Conclusion. It was determined that ensuring economic recovery and further sustainable growth are defined by the effectiveness of the use of appropriate financial and monetary instruments, the development of the national financial infrastructure, the appropriate institutional environment, the proper performance by the financial system of its functions of redistribution of financial resources between economic entities, the ability of the financial system to be invulnerable to external and internal contingencies and adverse events. The necessity of the sound public finances, balanced monetary policy, a predictable and fair regulatory framework, and flexible labor markets were emphasized.

Published: December 2023

In modern conditions, when the issue of conservation and rational use of water resources of Ukraine is gaining special attention in the conditions of armed Russian aggression, the analysis of the legal basis of the ownership of water bodies receives a new impetus for research and is especially relevant from the point of view of the possibility of the owners of water bodies calculate damages caused to water resources - a direction that includes pollution, clogging, depletion and other actions on water resources that can worsen water supply conditions, harm people's health, cause a decrease in fish stocks and other objects of water fishing, deterioration conditions for the existence of wild animals, a decrease in soil fertility and other adverse phenomena due to changes in the physical and chemical properties of waters, a decrease in their ability to natural purification, a violation of the hydrological and hydrogeological regime of waters. It was emphasized that water resources are a key factor not only for ecological stability, but also for the socio-economic development of the country. Regulation of ownership of water bodies has a significant impact on the efficiency of water resources management, access to drinking water, agricultural production and other important aspects of the life of the population and the state. Taking this into account, the central place of the conducted research is devoted to the issue of the existing conflict of provisions of the Land and Water Codes of Ukraine in the sphere of settlement of the issue of ownership of water objects from the position of the ratio of public and private environmental interests. Separate aspects of this issue are considered from the standpoint of national judicial practice and analysis of international environmental law. It has been proven that in some cases, the national legislation of some EU member states provides for the possibility of acquiring the right of private ownership of water bodies. The paper also highlighted doctrinal approaches to understanding the essence of the Ukrainian people's ownership of natural resources, including water. Summing up, it is argued that the study of conflicts in the legal regulation between the Land and Water Codes of Ukraine is relevant and important for ensuring sustainable water management and protecting the rights of citizens. Appropriate amendments to the Land Code of Ukraine were developed and proposed.
