Authors: Tovt Valeriy , Susla Viktoriya
Published: May 2024

The modern development of sports is characterized by the intensive introduction of new methods and forms of organization of the training process. The use of innovative technologies in sports training makes it possible to significantly increase its effectiveness. It is known that the success of partner work between a coach and an athlete fully depends on the ability to find, effectively use, and implement innovative training methods, allowing to achieve better results in a much shorter time. This is important at the initial stages of sports training, when a successful start creates a good perspective for the development of the athlete's physical, technical, tactical, and motivational potential. The purpose of the study is to justify the classification of game technologies of edutainment and gamification and the expediency of their use in sports training at the initial stages of training young athletes. The methods employed in the research are analysis and generalization of scientific information, expert assessment, pedagogical observation, cluster analysis, comparative experiment; anonymous survey. The results of the expert evaluation confirmed that the application of game technologies significantly intensifies the process of training athletes, especially at the initial stages. This technology creates the preliminary prerequisites for the formation of desired sportsmanship. It promotes faster physical development, and motivates athletes to improve their form. It was stated that the coaches do not have sufficient knowledge, or experience in the use of edutainment game technologies and gamification in sports activities. A survey of coaches was conducted, where they determined the leading tasks of games, that can hypothetically be used to divide (classify) game technologies in sports training. The cluster analysis of game technologies helped to create a classification of edutainment and gamification technologies that is convenient for stakeholders and to substantiate appropriate programs for their use. The researchers have established a reliable improvement in indicators of general physical fitness after the application of edutainment game technologies and gamification in sports training at the initial stages of training young athletes. A significant interest of athletes in innovative game technologies was revealed.
PECULIARITIES OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Bondar Galyna
Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to examine peculiarities of forming students’ intercultural communicative competence in the process of teaching foreign languages in the context of modern approaches. Methods of the research: description, analysis, generalisation and systematisation of researchers’ views, which are presented in scientific pedagogical literature, dedicated to issues of the development of intercultural communicative competence. The article considers concepts of communication and intercultural communicative competence and identifies a range of directions for the formation of intercultural communicative competence. Theoretical analysis of concepts of competence in the works of domestic and foreign scholars is presented. It is proved that intercultural communicative competence is knowledge and skills that will allow a person, as a communicator, to adequately and effectively communicate with representatives of other cultures. Mastering intercultural communicative competence will integrate the individual into the system of world and national cultures, and eliminate and prevent conflicts and misunderstandings. It is concluded that a foreign language learner should not only be able to correctly formulate thoughts in a foreign language, but should also adhere to cultural norms accepted by native speakers of the language being studied. The need for intercultural communication is evident in many professional fields today. As profiles of the people involved in given business interactions become increasingly multicultural, the ability to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries is often expected of graduates who seek to practice in different professional environments. The implementation of approaches considered in the study will help to optimise the process of teacher education at higher education institutions in general.

The issue of providing social services to vulnerable population categories receives special attention due to country instability, war, deterioration of living conditions, etc. The number of internally displaced persons, people with disabilities, participants in hostilities, and persons who have lost their homes or relatives and need special support from the state and the public increases. In particular, the need to provide a special type of social service as social adaptation has increased. The article's purpose is to characterize social adaptation as a special type of service and to analyze the provision of this service to vulnerable categories of the population in the Cherkasy Region. Methods applied: analysis of literary sources and the regulatory legal framework to determine the features of social services provision, analysis of activities of state and non-state organizations of Cherkasy region to determine the level and features of providing social adaptation to vulnerable population categories. We consider social adaptation as a system of adaptation measures designed to eliminate or change limitations of life activities to preserve social independence, continue social activity; development of social skills, abilities and competencies through training or development of adaptation strategies. The provision of social adaptation services is determined by relevant regulatory and legal documents. In the Cherkasy region, the provision of social adaptation services covers a significant number of vulnerable population groups: the elderly, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, war veterans, and their families, persons who have served sentences in the form of restriction or deprivation of liberty, etc. Main activities provided within the scope of social adaptation: provision of legal and psychological consultations, assistance in drawing up the necessary documentation, assistance in learning the state language, establishing connections of internally displaced persons with other community members, conducting master classes, group work with children, training for internally displaced persons, etc.

Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of forming the professional orientation of future specialists in the socionomic sphere. The purpose of the study is to reveal the essence of personality orientation and the peculiarities of the formation of professional orientation among specialists in socionomic professions. Research methods applied: theoretical ‒ study of scientific literature, analysis, systematization, comparison, generalization of the obtained information. It was established that in the most general sense, the orientation of the individual is understood as a set of stable motives that orient the activity of the individual and determine its selectivity and activity. The orientation of a person is characterized by his beliefs, ideals, interests, inclinations, which express the individualʼs worldview. In their structure, these types of orientation contain needs, attitudes, and relationships. If we are talking about the orientation of an individual when performing a specific activity, then the concept of «professional orientation» is used. Being an important aspect of the general orientation of the individual, the professional orientation represents a set of needs, attitudes, interests, ideals, beliefs and determines the choice of life goals. To form a professional orientation in future specialists means to strengthen in them a positive attitude towards the future profession, interest, inclination and ability to it, the desire to improve their qualifications after graduating from an educational institution, to develop ideals, views, beliefs, the prestige of the profession in the eyes of the future specialist.  In the multi-functional activity of a specialist in the socio-economic sphere, professional training, his ability to design his activity, effectively solve complex professional tasks, and creatively approach the matter are priorities. The personality of the future specialist is formed and developed simultaneously with his professional qualities, readiness to fulfill future obligations. We consider the category «readiness» as two interdependent components: the individualʼs readiness for activity and the individualʼs readiness for professional self-development. The readiness of the future specialist in the socio-economic sphere for professional activity is determined by: psychological readiness, scientific-professional, practical, psychophysiological, physical.

The use of a polygraph in the investigation of criminal offences: problems of tactics and legal regulation
Authors: Kurman O.V. , Balybina A.R.
Published: May 2024

Today, there are changes in the criminal and criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine, forensic tactics and methods of investigating crimes are developing, new technical means and technologies are emerging that are useful in conducting investigative (detective) and covert investigative (detective) actions. One of these technologies is polygraph examinations using a special device designed to simultaneously record breathing, blood pressure, biocurrents of the brain, heart, muscles and other physiological processes, which in turn allows to determine the reliability of a person's testimony.
The article examines the tactical and legal problems of using a polygraph in criminal proceedings, emphasises the absence of a streamlined solution at the legislative level which would regulate the procedure for using a polygraph, and notes the existing problems of compliance of popular polygraph models with the requirements of the State Standards of Ukraine.
The article also analyses the case law on the issues of admitting the results of polygraph examination as evidence. It is determined that today there are two options for judges' attitudes to the results of polygraph use in general and to the conclusions of forensic psychophysiological examination using a polygraph in particular. The former includes court decisions which recognise the use of a polygraph as a source of evidence, and the latter includes decisions where the court does not support the use of this device and does not recognise it as evidence.
The study provides a comparative analysis of the practice of using a polygraph in other countries. It is established that in developed countries there is also no single, unambiguous approach to the procedure for using a polygraph.
The article identifies the need to improve the legislation on the use of polygraph in the activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine and to develop uniform standards for the training of polygraph examiners and methods of using polygraph.
Features of the Contract for Supply of Energy and Other Resources through an Attached Network
Authors: Lukasevych-Krutnyk I.
Published: May 2024

The article by Lukasevych-Krutnyk I.S. is dedicated to defining the peculiarities of the contract for the supply of energy and other resources through an attached network and its place in the system of civil contracts through the prism of the provisions of the Concept of the Renewal of the Civil Code of Ukraine.
It is noted that the recodification of Book 5 of the Civil Code of Ukraine envisages a comprehensive review of the norms of individual types of contracts, introduction of new contractual constructions into the system of civil contracts, and exclusion of certain contractual obligations. However, there is no mention of the contract for the supply of energy and other resources through an attached network in the list of contractual obligations that do not correspond to the modern dynamics of contractual relations. Therefore, it is evident that the investigated contractual structure will remain in the updated version of the Civil Code of Ukraine as one of the types of purchase and sale agreements.
The application of general provisions on the contract of sale to the contract for the supply of energy and other resources through an attached network is fundamental for determining the legal nature of this contract and its civil regulation. The classification of the contract for the supply of energy and other resources through an attached network as contracts for the transfer of property, namely the contract of sale, is due to the fact that under this contract, goods are transferred from one party to another.
However, the contract for the supply of energy and other resources through an attached network has several features that allow it to be identified as an independent type of purchase and sale agreement. Firstly, the subject matter of the contract is electrical or thermal energy, gas, or other resources. Secondly, the method of contract performance - continuous transfer of energy and other resources to the consumer is carried out only through the attached network. Thirdly, the transfer of energy resources entails a range of rights and obligations of the parties to the contract, which are not characteristic of other types of purchase and sale agreements.
Application of statutes of limitations in conditions of martial law
Authors: Kochyna O. , Kot V.
Published: May 2024

The article is dedicated to highlighting the legal issue of applying statutes of limitations in conditions of martial law, which has been in effect in our country since February 24, 2022. The attention was focused on the fact that problematic issues regarding the application of statutes of limitations arose earlier, during the Covid-19 pandemic, when quarantine restrictions were introduced, and the legislature established norms regarding the extension of statutes of limitations.
The authors examined the importance of the existence of the statute of limitations institution in the context of the right to judicial protection. It was determined that the statute of limitations has significant importance for participants in judicial proceedings since for the plaintiff, it serves as a legislatively defined opportunity to seek protection within a certain period to defend their rights and freedoms, while for the defendant, it is a tool for protecting themselves from civil liability by applying statutes of limitations, which is an independent ground for denying the claim.
The issue of suspending the statute of limitations in the context of legislative norms in the Civil Code of Ukraine was also examined. The authors noted that the term "extension of statutes of limitations” used by the legislature during the quarantine and martial law period is an unsuccessful formulation and in some respects contradicts the norms of legislation. The Civil Code of Ukraine provides that the statute of limitations can be extended by agreement of the parties or suspended in case of certain circumstances.
Additionally, the authors examined the issue of the appropriateness of suspending statutes of limitations during martial law. It was determined that as of January 30, 2024, the statute of limitations established by the Civil Code of Ukraine is fully suspended for the duration of martial law. However, in the authors' opinion, the actions of legislators, which manifested in the mandatory suspension of statutes of limitations, violate the right to judicial protection and place one party in a better position compared to the other.
The authors proposed changing the approach to statutes of limitations by not suspending them but providing the plaintiff with the opportunity, in case the defendant claims the application of statutes of limitations, to present convincing arguments to the court that they missed the specified period for valid reasons, rather than just due to the existence of martial law.

Filing a lawsuit as a set of procedural actions at the stage of opening a lawsuit in a civil process
Authors: Kholmogorova L.V.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the concept, essence and legal nature of filing a claim in a civil process.
The author critically evaluates the traditional view of filing a lawsuit as one procedural action that triggers the entire mechanism of protection of violated rights, freedoms, or interests in civil proceedings. Taking into account the need to observe the established procedure for the exercise of the right to file a claim, the point of view is substantiated that the filing of a claim is a set of procedural actions that determine the realization of the specified subjective procedural right.
A list of procedural actions is given, with the help of which the right to file a claim is realized in the established order: the minimum permissible procedural actions and their increased number are determined. Based on this, it is concluded that the filing of a claim in a civil process can be presented in the form of abbreviated or extended legal composition. In the latter case, it is required to perform such a set of procedural actions, which are determined by the nature of the disputed legal relationship, the stated claim and the person of the applicant. Instead, the truncated composition of the lawsuit indicates that the plaintiff has certain procedural benefits.
It is indicated that all procedural actions that must be taken by the plaintiff in order to comply with the established procedure for exercising the right to file a claim are mandatory, but their number may be different, depending on the type of legal structure that determines the realization of the right to file a claim.
It is noted that despite the numerous procedural actions of the plaintiff, which form the legal structure of the right to file a lawsuit, only one behavior of the plaintiff at the stage of opening a lawsuit will be of decisive importance: submitting a claim statement to the court of first instance. Without this, the previous behavior of the plaintiff (preparation of a statement of claim of the prescribed form and content, payment of a court fee, etc.) will not have legal significance, since it does not indicate the will of the person to seek legal protection.

Authors: Bortsevych P.S.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of modern approaches to legal regulation of the reorganization of economic entities. The article emphasizes that an effective process of reorganization requires the resolution of many issues, the main of which is the disposal of the assets of the business entity. Solving the property aspects of the reorganization of a business entity requires maximum and objective consideration of the legitimate interests of the business entity's participants.
The article provides an example of modern legal regulation of the division of a joint-stock company based on the analysis of the norms of the new Law of Ukraine "On Joint-Stock Companies". The article emphasizes that with the adoption of the new Law of Ukraine "On Joint Stock Companies" in 2023, approaches to organizing the division of a joint stock company have been improved.
The importance of the appearance of novelties in the legal regulation of the reorganization of a joint­stock company deserves to be taken into account by the legislators of European Union standards in this area. In particular, the current Law of Ukraine "On Joint-Stock Companies” reflects the conditions and procedures for the division of joint-stock companies, which are provided for in Directive 2017/1132/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU dated June 14, 2017 relating to certain aspects of company law.
In the article, a study of the provisions of Directive 2017/1132/EU of June 14, 2017 regarding the organization of the division of a joint­stock company was carried out, and a comparative characterization of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Joint-Stock Companies” was carried out, which provide for the basis of the organization of the division of joint-stock companies for the purpose of taking into account the standards of the European Union in this sphere It is noted that the division of a joint-stock company in order to ensure the rights and interests of shareholders should be carried out on the basis of their will, which is formed thanks to the agreement and publication of the project of the division of the company and its professional expert assessment by independent experts.
The conclusions emphasize that the provisions of the current Law of Ukraine "On Joint-Stock Companies” take into account the main aspects of the EU standards regarding the reorganization of a joint-stock company, which should contribute to increasing the level of protection of the rights and interests of shareholders.
Outplacement as a key to an effective hr policy when dismissing employees
Authors: Sereda O.G. , Kravchenko V.V.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the topical issues of protection of employees' rights in the context of mass layoffs occurring in the economic crisis. The author emphasises that the current stage of transformation and development of Ukraine's economy requires qualitatively new benchmarks, one of which is the development and implementation of effective mechanisms aimed at building a socially responsible business. In today's unstable market conditions, employees are one of the most valuable resources of any enterprise, and therefore the dismissal procedure should be carried out with due regard for their rights and personal interests. The author proves that the current policy of enterprises in the field of dismissal of employees is limited to compliance with labour legislation. Layoffs can lead to pessimistic and negative attitudes in the team, and employees' fears of being the next to be laid off, which negatively affects labour productivity and may lead to staff outflow. It is determined that caring for the dismissed employees will prevent the emergence of negative attitudes and normalise the atmosphere in the workforce. The author substantiates the position that a socially responsible employer should implement mechanisms that would facilitate further employment of dismissed employees to the maximum extent possible. Given this factor, attention is drawn to the expediency of applying by domestic employers of flexible employment policy methods, one of which is outplacement, the essence of which is to help employees who have been laid off to adapt to new circumstances, to develop their own strategy for finding a suitable job and to find a job. It is noted that in Western countries, outplacement as a socially-oriented technology for releasing personnel is the most common type of service, and its use affects the overall image of the employer. It is emphasized that the practice of outplacement in Ukraine is at the stage of formation, and in the future this procedure will be widely used, since the established relationship between the employer and employees, both current and former, is the key to effective management and successful functioning of a socially responsible business.

The article conducts a comparative legal study of the specifics of acquisition and exercise of land ownership by foreigners, stateless persons and foreign legal entities under the legislation of Ukraine and Canada, as a result of which the Canadian experience of legal regulation in the specified area, which is most acceptable for Ukraine, is substantiated.
It has been established that in the science of land law of Ukraine, one of the most controversial issues is the possibility, scope, conditions and grounds of granting land ownership rights to foreigners, stateless persons, and foreign legal entities, especially considering the provisions of Art. 13 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which declares all land to be the property of the Ukrainian people. This issue has not been resolved definitively in the land legislation, as access of foreign persons to ownership of agricultural land can be granted only after a positive decision of the All-Ukrainian referendum.
The conducted research showed that Canadian legislation provides for the possibility of establishing restrictions on the acquisition of land ownership by foreign entities both at the federal level (a two-year restriction on the purchase of residential real estate, including vacant land plots intended for residential development), and at the level of individual provinces and territories. At the level of the provinces and territories, there are different legal models for restricting the access of foreign persons to the right to ownership of land, primarily for agricultural purposes. There are no legal restrictions on the acquisition of the right to ownership of land by foreign persons in British Columbia, Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. At the same time, in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec, the access of foreigners to land ownership is significantly limited, in particular, by establishing the maximum size of land plots that they can acquire on ownership.
The article claims that the establishment of restrictions in Canadian legislation on the acquisition of ownership rights to land, primarily for agricultural purposes, is conditioned by the need to ensure priority access to the lands of Canadian citizens and Canadian corporations, which can be a reference point for the settlement of these issues in Ukrainian land law. Canadian legislation, both at the federal level and at the level of individual provinces and territories, provides effective mechanisms of legal responsibility in the event of violation of legal restrictions on foreign persons' access to land ownership, which should be provided for in Ukrainian legislation.
Legal aspects of state credit support for agriculture

In the modern conditions of military operations on the territory of Ukraine, the aggravation of problems of an economic, social and political nature, the issue of building an effective system of state credit support measures for agriculture is extremely relevant. It has been established that traditional measures to support Ukrainian agriculture in the credit sphere, namely: credit subsidy, provision of returnable financial assistance to farms, are insufficient to stabilize the situation in the financial and credit sphere.
The regulatory and legal changes implemented during the war period, which are characterized by the introduction of some new agricultural protection mechanisms (budget subsidies, special budget subsidies), are analyzed. It was noted that an important step aimed at simplifying the access of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises to bank lending by reducing the cost of loans was the optimization of lending within the framework of the state program "Affordable loans 5-7-9%”.
Modern problems, trends and prospects of land and mortgage crediting of agriculture are established. It was noted that the positive trends aimed at the effective functioning of mortgage lending to agricultural producers are: unblocking of land mortgage lending to agriculture through legislative regulation of the circulation of agricultural land, as well as improving the situation in relation to the provision of state guarantees for the fulfillment of agricultural credit obligations. Within the framework of prospective legislation, the mechanism for transferring the right to lease agricultural land as security for agricultural receipts is being worked out. A conclusion was made about the need to form an effective institutional and legal system of crediting agriculture.
