Improving birth preparation with the hypnosis online course “The Peaceful Birth”: A randomized controlled study
Authors: Motz Luisa , Brückner Rosa Marie , Schmidt Barbara
Published: January 2024

Background: Various factors affect the way an expectant mother experiences the birth of her child. Birth-related expectations, fears, and stress play a significant role. Additionally, pain sensation during labor is a predominant factor in the overall experience of childbirth. Hypnosis is a well-known and effective method to reduce anxiety and pain. It has become increasingly popular in recent years as a method of childbirth preparation. The present study examines if the hypnosis online course "The Peaceful Birth" improves childbirth expectations and the birth experience itself. In addition, we investigate if the hypnosis online course improves well-being and reduces fear and stress throughout pregnancy and after birth.Method: Our study included 221 pregnant women who were pseudo-randomly assigned to a hypnosis and a control group. We provided participants in the hypnosis group with the hypnosis online course “The Peaceful Birth” for self-use throughout pregnancy, during childbirth, and beyond. The control group did not have access to the hypnosis online course. At four measurement points, we surveyed all study participants about various aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. We utilized standardized questionnaires, including the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire to assess childbirth expectations and experiences, as well as the Perceived Stress Scale to measure stress experiences.Results: The data show that the hypnosis group perceived significantly less stress and childbirth expectations were significantly more positive compared to the control group after they started to use the hypnosis online course. Subjective health ratings in the hypnosis group improved significantly compared to the control group in the period before childbirth. Furthermore, women in the hypnosis group described the childbirth experience itself as significantly more positive concerning fear, loneliness, and self-efficacy. We show that the improvement of the childbirth experience is causally related to more positive childbirth expectations. However, there were no significant group differences in the experience of pain.Discussion: Our study demonstrates that the hypnosis online course “The Peaceful Birth” significantly improved both the anticipation and the actual childbirth experience. Our findings are in line with previous evidence showing the effectiveness of hypnosis-based childbirth preparation. The hypnosis online course is therefore an efficient low-threshold method to enhance the healthcare for expectant mothers.

Published: January 2024

In this paper, a feasibility study is done about the techno-economical aspect of installing the solar PV system for charging electric vehicles. Public electric vehicles operated by company, Sundar Yatayat Pvt. Ltd. are taken into consideration for data collection and feasibility test.The company operates four vehicles currently, two buses of length 10.5m and 8.5m and two vans of length 6m which runs in ring-road of Kathmandu valley. A survey is conducted regarding the types of vehicles operated, charging pattern of the vehicles, number of units consumed to charge the vehicles, charging location, annual income as well as its operation and maintenance costs, internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period are used for the feasibility of the use of solar PV energy for charging the vehicles. There are four vehicles in operation at present, so the comparison is done between charging the vehicles through various percentage share of solar PV system to the current charging units i.e., 100%, 80% and 50% share of solar PV system. In all three cases, the Levelized Cost of electricity is calculated and the vehicle operating routes are studied inside Kathmandu valley. Finally, the optimal and feasible solution for solar-based charging and the optimal route for profit maximization is proposed in this paper. Best feasible solution is found if the vehicles are charged through 80% share of solar PV and other through grid with discounted payback period of 5.03 years and LCOE of Rs. 5.72 per kWh
Development of urban infrastructure through land-based financing: A case of Bharatpur metropolitan city (Residential area)
Authors: Thapa Magar Aakash , Uprety Sanajaya
Published: January 2024

Municipalities in Nepal has been seen as a driving force for development, especially after the federal restructuring of the country. Constitution of Nepal, 2015 and the Local Government Operation Act, 2017 have authorized the local government to increase their revenue base from a wide range of sources including the urban land resources to make them ﬁnancially resourceful for the urban development ﬁnancing. In this context, land-based ﬁnancing is seen as a potential source for ﬁnancing urban infrastructure development in residential areas which lack adequate and decent physical infrastructure. The advantages of infrastructure projects are capitalized on land values which contributes to the land-based ﬁnance instruments to pay for infrastructural development. The purpose of this research was to explore how Bharatpur Metropolitan City might fund the construction of urban infrastructure through land-based ﬁnancing in the residential area lacking adequate and decent infrastructure. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to collect and analysis of existing municipal land-based revenue, land valuation, property registration fees of the case study area, Krishnapur Land Pooling project area, of Ward no 7 of Bharatpur metropolitan city. Building upon the analysis of the capital gain from land value increment and residents’ willingness to pay land-based taxes and users fees in the case study area, the study ﬁnds land-based-tax system was limitedly integrated into the land-use zoning and the land value increment. This has resulted in the disparities of tax rates and tax coverages. This study recommends further study to to replace the Housing and Land Tax with Integrated Property Tax system and reform policies related to “property valuation” based on added calculations according to land-use zoning, land use and resident’s willingness to pay as a means to reinforce municipal revenue to increase infrastructure ﬁnancing in residential areas.
Formalizing the informal settlements in Kathmandu valley: A case of Bansighat along Bagmati river corridor
Authors: Karki Bibek , Singh Sangeeta
Published: January 2024

Informal settlements are residential areas where housing is developed without land title and tenure. Housing developed with land tenure within the realms of rules and regulations are formal housing. As the settlements are termed informal, there are no formal programs from the concerned government agencies to develop infrastructure. This does not limit the settlers to develop the basic infrastructures they essentially need. Policies in the recent years have tried to address the issues of informal settlers. There is a gap between activities and policies of the government which is identified by policy review. This research is a study of the assessment of infrastructure and services in informal settlements and how the gap in infrastructure can be addressed. Based on observation, key informant interview and questionnaire survey, this research assesses the existing scenario of infrastructure reach and attempts to address the infrastructure gap through physical intervention and policy intervention in Bansighat informal settlement along Bagmati River Corridor. The research thus uses mixed methods to frame the current scenario and propose recommendations suitable to the place. The gaps are seen majorly in water supply, drainage, housing, roads and educational, general awareness sectors. Alternatives for addressing the gaps is through co-ordination among different levels of government with implementation of plans by local government which are prepared by line agencies from federal and provincial governments. Physical interventions are needed in basic infrastructures: drinking water, storm water drainage, road width and density of housing in Bansighat. Awareness of social infrastructure like education is also needed in the area. These interventions should be guided and supported by policy measures and participative implementation to provide infrastructure in Bansighat and similar informal settlements along Bagmati corridor in Kathmandu valley.
Design modification of the existing cooling water system of Marsyangdi hydropower station using pipe flow modeling software
Authors: Bista Prabhab , Ghimire Subodh Kumar , Sapkota Rama
Published: January 2024

Marsyangdi Hydropower Station has adopted the Open Loop Cooling System (also called Once through Cooling System) in which the cooling water extracted from Penstock or the draft tube is circulated throughout the cooling system and discharged back to the draft tube. The water of the Marsyangdi River is muddy and sediment-rich in the rainy season, which causes the choking of tubes of the primary heat exchangers reducing the cooling efficiency and even leading to leakages in the tubes due to erosion. Cleaning and maintenance of the tubes are impossible without dismantling the primary heat exchangers from the Unit assembly. Hence, hours of machine shutdown is required to replace them with new or cleaned one. A Close Loop Cooling System has been modeled in the Software, "AFT Fathom," to overcome the issue in the Existing Cooling System. The modified model was run to observe the performance of the modified system at different river water temperatures and increased heat duty in all the heat exchangers. Further, the System Curve was considering the effect of the increase in surface roughness of pipelines due to aging. The performance capacity of the modified system was justified considering the obtained results from the simulations.

Authors: Bhishma Raj Shigu  , Iswar Man Amatya  , Gokarna Bahadur Motra
Published: January 2024

Human hairs are considered as unused waste material which are non-degradable and are found in abundance in urban cities like Kathmandu. Human hair as a solid waste has multifaceted environmental problems and the main aim of this study is to utilize such unused human hair to enhance the properties of concrete. Human hair as a fiber possesses high tensile strength property and can be used in concrete to enhance compressive and tensile strength properties of concrete.In this experimental study, experiment was performed on M20 grade concrete mix with varying percentages of human hair fiber i.e., 0%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 1.25%, 1.50%, 1.75 and 2.00% by weight of cement to analyze the compressive and flexural strength. To analyze the workability of the mixes slump test was performed. Test results showed that compressive strength and flexural strength increased up to 1.50% of human hair fiber content and decreased beyond 1.5% which shows that optimum HHF content for our study on M20 grade of concrete is 1.5%. Hence, human hair can be used in concrete to enhance its compressive and flexural properties and will be the alternative way of salon hair waste management.

Authors: Babita Sharma  , Suman Timilsina  , Ram Sharan Timilsina  , Nava Raj Karki
Published: January 2024

Abstract the worth of reliability has been increasing with the advancement of technology. Based on the involvement of the various functional zones, the assessment of the reliability of the power system is divided into 3 Hierarchy levels (HL). The composite reliability (HL II) involves the availability of generation systems and transmission systems in evaluating the reliability of power systems.  In this paper, the composite reliability of the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) is assessed using sequential Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). Based on the trip data of the various Hydro Electric Power Plant (HEPP) units of Nepal and of transmission line, the artificial UP and DOWN sequence of the composite system is simulated. The power output of the Hydro-Electric Power Plant (HEPP) is varied based on the variation of seasonal flow. The system state is compared with the hourly load data of various load centers of INPS to determine the reliability indices like LOLP, LOLE, and EENS. As the eastern part of INPS doesn’t have a generating unit, it is found to have lower reliability. The reliability of INPS can be improved by improving the reliability of load centers that have a lower value of reliability indices.
Analysis of solar power Return-on-Investment for hospitals in Nepal with Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Oxygen plants - A case study of provincial hospital, Surkhet, Nepal
Authors: Debendra Bahadur Raut  , Bishal Kumar
Published: January 2024

This paper assesses the effects of implementing a 150 kWp solar power system with Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen production system at Surkhet Hospital in Nepal. In order to address the crucial need for medical oxygen at Provincial Hospital, Surkhet in Karnali province, a PSA oxygen production plant has been installed. However, these plants consume a significant amount of power. Due to the unreliable grid electricity supply, hospitals were compelled to rely on costly diesel fuel for energy. In an effort to alleviate this issue, the World Health Organization (WHO) implemented a 150 kWp solar power plant at Surkhet Provincial Hospital. In this context, this study aims to assess the impact of solar power and determine the return-on-investment (ROI) for hospitals in Nepal equipped with PSA oxygen plants.Analyzing hospital data, it was found that over a three-year period (2018–2021) , the average grid electricity consumption stood at 238,048 kWh. More than half of this energy usage occurred during daylight hours, indicating potential for substituting grid energy with solar power. The introduction of solar panels led to a decrease in diesel generator consumption, from 5,864.83 liters per month to 652.72 liters per month, resulting in monthly savings of 712,216.55 Nepalese Rupees. Furthermore, this results in an annual reduction of approximately 121 tons of CO2 emissions that would otherwise be released into the environment.The study examined a range of PSA plants (1 to 200 Nm3/hour) to determine power requirements and evaluated solar energy savings under three Global Horizontal Solar Insolation (GHI) scenarios: low (4 kWh/m2/day), medium (4.5 kWh/m2/day), and high (5.0kWh/m2/day). The findings highlighted substantial financial benefits. This analysis provided insights into the solar capacity needed for PSA plants throughout Nepal.The financial analysis demonstrated promising returns, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) approaching 40% and a discounted payback period of less than three years. The Levelized Cost of Electricity(LCoE) from solar plant is ranging from 8.22 to 6.57 Nepalese Rupees per kWh across varying GHI scenarios. Notably, the solar plant contributed to a noteworthy 38% reduction inoverall unit energy costs.

It presents a comprehensive study focused on Nepal, with data collected through a survey method from 233 participants and analyzed through multiple regressions. The results demonstrated that the perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly impact customers' intentions to embrace online banking services. However, trust and government support had no significant impact. The insights from this study can aid banks in developing effective approaches to encourage the adoption of online banking in Nepal and potentially serve as a model for other developing nations in the e-commerce and internet banking domains.
Utopia Turns into Dystopia: Orwell’s Critic of Stalinist Marxist Innovativeness in Animal Farm
Authors: Pant Rajendra Prasad
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to examine modernity in Marxism as an allegory of the animals' revolution in George Orwell's Animal Farm. The major concern of this paper is to explore the modernity and its impact of utopian Marxist conception of state considering essential characteristics of political movements and the possible relationship existed between them. One  is  immediately puzzled  by  the  fact that  modernist  literature, art, and political theory seem to have little or  nothing to do with Marxism, and are, in fact, reactionary to  Marxism.  Modernity in Marxism is change in the life of the people belonging to lower class or proletariats. The research tool used for research is Marxism and modernity, with reference to Robert Bocock, Abram L. Harris, and Henri Lefebvre. The research methodology used for analysis is textual analysis. The major finding is the concept of Utopia where there is everybody happy and prosperous; that is the main idea of this concept from Marxism. This notion of modernism comes into existence from different political movements in global context. The historically changing process is the base for the modernity in the society that shows the abuse of power practised by Stalin in Russia in the name of Marxism.
Socio-Cultural Dynamics of Cross-Border Labour Migration between Nepal and India
Authors: Bhatt Deepak Chandra
Published: January 2024

The enduring relationship between Nepal and India is the focus of this study, which delves into the social and cultural dynamics adopted by Nepali and Indian labour migrants in their respective destinations. The study extends to the examination of labour migrants' social backgrounds, encompassing aspects such as religion, caste, ethnicity, education, and family structure. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study incorporates case studies supported by field observations in the destination countries. The gathered data undergoes analysis through descriptive statistics, allowing for a comparative assessment between the two migrant groups. While the socio-cultural status of both groups exhibits slight differences, disparities in caste and ethnicity indicators are noted between Nepal and India. Notably, a significant proportion of Nepali labour migrants hail from Dalit communities when compared to other caste and ethnic groups. In contrast, Indian labour migrants, predominantly from the Other Backward Class (OBC), exhibit a different trend. The volume of Nepali labour migrants heading to India surpasses that of Indian labour migrants to Nepal. The shorter migration distance for Indian labour migrants enables frequent visits to their place of origin, facilitating the celebration of local traditions and culture. In contrast, Nepali labour migrants encounter fewer opportunities to return to their destination regularly. A noteworthy observation is the comparatively higher educational status of Nepali labour migrants as opposed to their Indian counterparts heading to Nepal. The nuanced differences between the two migrant groups correlate with their religious affiliations and socio-economic backgrounds. Interestingly, both groups exhibit a limited number of enrolled children in destination schools, indicating a shared challenge in accessing education opportunities.

Authors: Rijal Rheet
Published: January 2024

Plastics for packaging have lead to massive environmental pollution and dreadful issues in human life. Thus consumers need to consider its deep-rooted impacts, and refuse the acceptance of plastic packaged goods. The present researchers have opted a critical constructivist perspective inclining at deductive approach to assess the consumer readiness on rejecting the choice of consumption of plastic packaged goods in the context of Karnali Province of Nepal. Causal-comparative research design was used to determine the cause or consequences of selected variables on dependent variables. In order to collect the primary data, an email survey was administered to 365 respondents of various demographic levels replied with the duly completed survey questionnaires. For the analyses, both descriptive and inferential analyses were used. The key findings of the structural equation model revealed that the plastic related concern with regard to health and environmental issues are the main factors influencing plastic rejection. Consumer readiness with regard to plastic rejection are also influenced by subjective knowledge and the weight placed on third party commitment to solving the plastic problem. The findings of the study also revealed significant contribution of the impact of employment status as the essential element determining consumer readiness on rejecting plastic packaged goods in the Karnali province. This indicates majorities of employed consumers have more readiness to reject the plastic packaged goods.

Published: January 2024

This study examines the influence of ownership structure on the financial information quality of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Ownership structure, if followed in totality is expected to minimize abnormalities in the preparation of the financial statement of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. However, despite the existence of corporate governance for over a decade in Nigeria, there were a lot of corporate failures in recent years; including the accounting scandals by Cadbury Plc.etc. The data were extracted from the annual financial reports of sampled companies for the period of six years(2013—2019). The sample of the study consists of 26 quoted manufacturing companies. The study employed multiple regressions for data analysis, using panel data to examine the influence of ownership structure attributes on financial information quality. The model is composed of a single dependent variable; financial information quality and one explanatory variable with four proxies -managerial, institutional, concentration, and foreign ownership. The results reveal that ownership concentration and institutional shareholdings were positively, strongly, and statistically significant in predicting real activity manipulation of quotedmanufacturing companies in Nigeria, unlike the managerial and Non-Executive directors’ shareholdings. Therefore, itis recommended among others that the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria should motivate institutional investors to invest in the quoted manufacturing companies to reduce activity manipulative practices by the management of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

This study examines the cointegration relationship of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) with developed Asian markets (Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore). The main objective of the study is to identify potential diversification benefits that exist in Sri Lankan stock market. The stock market indices are Hang Seng Index (HSI), Nikkei 225(N225), Straits Times Index (STI) and All Share Price Index (ASPI). Daily closing prices of stock market indices were selected for the period of 2013- 2019. The main theoretical base forthe stock market integration was the Law of One Price. The Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound test used toanalyze data, revealed an insignificant cointegration relationship between CSE and developed stock markets. The ASPI has statistically significant short-run relationships with the STI. HSI and N225 did not provide any evidence of a long-run relationship with the ASPI. A negative insignificant correlation between ASPI and HSI indicates a good combination to have a well-balancedportfolio gain both long and short-run diversification benefits. In conclusion, the non-existence of cointegration among the above stock markets provides opportunities for international diversification of portfolios and possibilities for risk hedging.

Authors: Kongahawatte Sampath
Published: January 2024

This study is aimed at finding the role of retail investors in the well-documented turnover anomaly in the Korean equity market. Using the stock-level investor trading data from 2004–2015, I find a robust negative relationship between the turnover and the expected stock returns. This relationship is stronger among stocks with a high retail trading proportion (RTP), indicating that the turnover anomaly could be a mispricing generated by the irrational trading of retail investors. This study has strong implications for anomalies and retail investors’ literature.

Published: January 2024

Розвиток фізичної культури і спорту як найменш витратний і найбільш ефективний засіб фізичного й морального оздоровлення нації, покликаний забезпечити формування фізичних, естетичних і моральних якостей людської особистості, профілактику захворювань, фізичної та психоемоційної рекреації і реабілітації людини, об’єднання сім’ї, організацію дозвілля. Фізкультурно-спортивні громадські рухи зближують особисті і громадські інтереси, формують здоровий морально-психологічний клімат у різних соціально-демографічних групах населення, особливо в молодіжному середовищі. Фізична культура, будучи частиною загальної культури людини, її здорового способу життя, багато в чому визначає її поведінку під час навчання, на виробництві, в побуті, у спілкуванні.

Механізми публічного управління у сфері спорту спрямовані на реалізацію основних управлінських функцій: планування, організаційні заходи, бюджетування, моніторинг, контроль. Реалізація функцій відбувається в системі суб’єктно-об’єктного управління шляхом реалізації нормативно-правових механізмів як основи законодавчого забезпечення процесів розвитку фізичної культури та спорту в ЄС. Важливим елементом публічного управління фізичною культурою та спортом є стейкхолдери та їх співпраця із органами публічної влади та місцевого самоврядування. Європейський досвід публічного управління реалізовується на рівні загальноєвропейської системи управління, незважаючи на схожу орієнтацію та стратегічні пріоритети національних моделей публічного управління кожної країни, існують суттєві відмінності та специфіка їх побудови.

В Україні відсутня функціональна орієнтація на розвиток сфери фізичної культури та спорту. Тому систематизація та узагальнення європейського досвіду публічного управління сферою спорту, зокрема щодо структурних та функціональних аспектів є важливим та актуальним предметом дослідження даної статті.
ГЕНЕЗА СИСТЕМИ МЕДИЧНОГО ЗАХИСТУ В УМОВАХ НАДЗВИЧАЙНИХ СИТУАЦІЙ
Authors: Шостак Людмила
Published: January 2024

У статті досліджено, що медичний захист є складовою Єдиної системи цивільного захисту населення і територій. Відповідно заходи медичного захисту населення є складовою медико-санітарного забезпечення населення і особового складу рятувальних та інших формувань в зоні надзвичайної ситуації, плануються та здійснюються залежно від режиму функціонування цієї системи із застосуванням сил і засобів центральних органів виконавчої влади, місцевих органів, які безпосередньо виконують завдання захисту життя і здоров`я людей, а також спеціалізованих функціональних підсистем: екстреної медичної допомоги, санітарно-епідеміологічного нагляду, шляхом створення і розгортання формувань і закладів служби медицини катастроф.

Визначено, що одним з головних завдань державної політики у сфері цивільного захисту й техногенної безпеки є створення надійних гарантій безпечної життєдіяльності людей, технологічної та техногенної безпеки, забезпечення безаварійної роботи на об’єктах підвищеної небезпеки, досягнення високих норм і стандартів забезпечення захисту населення і територій від надзвичайних ситуацій природного і техногенного характеру. Реалізація цих завдань базується на вдосконаленні механізму запобігання виникненню та управління ліквідації наслідків надзвичайних ситуацій, особливо медико-санітарних, а також розвитку і формування відповідної нормативно-правової та ресурсної баз.

Доведено, що на практиці управління ліквідацією медико-санітарних наслідків надзвичайних ситуацій проявляється як реалізація державно-управлінських відносин в сфері забезпечення адекватною та доступною медичною допомогою постраждалих внаслідок надзвичайних ситуацій природного і техногенного характеру.

У теоретичному плані проблема управління взаємодією органів державного управління при організації ліквідації медико-санітарних наслідків надзвичайних ситуацій вирішується через розв’язання двох малодосліджених питань: забезпечення медичного захисту населення, постраждалого внаслідок НС природного і техногенного характеру; взаємозв’язку ліквідації їх медико-санітарних наслідків і механізмів управління взаємодією органів державного управління при організації ліквідації медико-санітарних наслідків надзвичайних ситуацій.

За результатами дослідження наголошується на актуальності дослідження проблеми організації медичного захисту населення в умовах бойових дій та організації сталого функціонування закладів охорони здоров’я, а також визначення порядку надання допомоги та умов взаємодії відомчих медичних закладів.
ОСНОВНІ НАПРЯМКИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ: ВИКЛИКИ ТА ЗАВДАННЯ
Authors: Коцур Віталій , Коцур Леся , Грига Олексій
Published: January 2024

Проаналізовано основні напрямки державної інформаційної політики України в умовах воєнного стану. Показано, що широкомасштабна російська агресія, яка розпочалася 24 лютого 2022 р. спричинила радикальні зміни у підходах щодо формування основних напрямків державної інформаційної політики нашої держави. Практично відразу увага політичного керівництва України зосередилась на формуванні єдиного інформаційного простору у форматі інформаційного телемарафону «Єдині новини #UАразом», проте без залучення опозиційних медіа. Прослідковано, що спочатку єдиний телемарафон відігравав конструктивну роль в системі державної інформаційної політики, проте після повернення в телеефіри «великої політики» та проросійських наративів, значення телемарафону набуло деструктивного значення. Проаналізовано й інші напрямки інформаційної політики України в умовах воєнного стану. Насамперед, мовиться про державну цензуру та самоцензуру журналістів; створення центрів та започаткування державних проєктів, спрямованих на протидію російській дезінформації; посилення захисту від кібератак; державна інформаційна політика у сфері культури. Окрему увагу приділено зовнішній інформаційній політиці держави, спрямованій на блокування російської пропаганди на міжнародній арені. Показано, що ця політика реалізується через Український інститут та систему телеканалів «Дім» й «FreeДом», сторінки у соціальних мережах «UATV English», «UA Arabic» та англомовний сайт «The Gaze». Підсумовано, що перевагою державної інформаційної політики в умовах воєнного стану є те, що держава керується нормами законів про впровадження воєнного стану, а тому практично в ручному режимі (згідно з обставинами) може змінювати інформаційну політику, вводити цензуру, обмежувати негативний зовнішній вплив з метою забезпечення інформаційної безпеки суспільства. Водночас небезпечним явищем державної інформаційної політики в умовах воєнного стану є порушення демократичних цінностей, пов’язаних зі свободою слова й дотриманням журналістських стандартів; інформаційними утисками опозиційних політичних сил.
