Mathematical modeling of early processes of morphogenesis of epithelial tissues
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Krasnyakov Ivan , Kostarev Kirill , Bratsun Dmitry
Published: May 2024

Studying morphogenetic processes through traditional methods, such as observa-tion and experimentation, can be highly complex and laborious. Utilizing mathematical modeling methods makes it possible to analyze big data and uncover patterns that may be unnoticed when employing traditional approaches. In this study, a vertex mathemati-cal model of squamous epithelial tissue morphogenesis is proposed. The elementary unit of the system is the cell, which can dynamically change its shape and size. We in-troduce a new potential that accounts not only for the elasticity of cell perimeters and areas but also for the elasticity of their internal angles. Additionally, we introduce an inte-gral equation of chemical signaling, which allows for the consideration of chemo-mechanical cell-cell interactions. In addition to the above, the model incorporates im-portant processes of real epithelia, such as cell proliferation and intercalation. Based on the simulation results, a diagram of the system's principal states was constructed as a function of control parameters. A parameter range is identified within which the cellular system adopts the most energetically favorable and stable configurations. Furthermore, two processes occur in the early stages of morphogenesis, namely morula formation and blastula formation. This paper provides a detailed physical and mathematical description of these processes. The obtained results can be utilized in developing methods for influ-encing morphogenetic processes in medical applications.

Authors:   Abdelmalek Essaadi University, El Mrimar Ouadie , Bendaou Othmane , Samoudi Bousselham , El Haddad Zakaria
Published: May 2024

The article examines pole vaulting as a demanding track and field discipline, where athletes use a flexible pole to clear a high bar. The study explores the research challeng-es associated with this discipline, including the impact of pole material, the physical capabilities of the vaulter, and the vaulting technique on performance. The paper pre-sents a new Finite Element Analysis in ANSYS, focusing on energy conversion in the pole-vaulter interaction. Simulation results highlight the influence of pole stiffness and length for jump height, as well as the impact of synchronization between pole and pole positions on performance. Finally, the article highlights that pole vault performance is intrinsically linked to the pole vaulter's specific movement and ability to optimize interac-tion with the pole. This deeper understanding can help improve individual performance in this demanding athletics discipline.
Biomechanics as support for forensic expert reports in after pedestrian-car collisions
Authors:   Charles University, Veselý Vratislav , Vilímek Miloslav ,   College of Polytechnics Jihlava, Ravnik David
Published: May 2024

This paper systematically explores the mechanical properties of facial and cranial bones, aiming to contribute to the understanding of brain and cervical spine injuries from a mechanical/biomechanical perspective. The research also seeks to provide insights applicable in forensic practice, bridging the gap for engineering professionals not typi-cally involved in forensic medicine. Strength and stiffness parameters of facial and cra-nial bones were utilized to analyze forces leading to fractures, proposing a simple analyt-ical approach for determining head velocity upon striking a car windshield. Experimental testing was conducted to examine defects on the windshield resulting from an impactor's crash, simulating head impacts at varying velocities. Two approaches for determining head impact velocity during pedestrian-car collisions were explored. The first, neglect-ing body deformation effects, assumes that the manikin's center of gravity moves at the same speed as the impacting vehicle, resulting in an impact velocity that is approximate-ly twice the car's speed. The second, a more realistic scenario, considers slower move-ment of the body's center of gravity, yielding an impact velocity that is about one and a half times the car's speed, with a specific angle relative to the X-axis. Calculation reveals that head impact velocity decreases with reduced windshield inclination at constant ve-hicle speed. Experimental testing with an adult head impactor monitored impact velocity, acceleration, contact time, and puncture diameter and depth on the vehicle glass. Results align closely with published data, emphasizing higher injury risk near the location of fixation of the windshield to the frame of the vehicle. In forensic investigations, the re-search findings, including newly measured or calculated parameters, offer practical ap-plications. Acknowledging simulation limitations, the study emphasizes the reliance on experimental data for a more realistic understanding. Application of knowledge in expert opinions for car crashes with injuries involves considering windshield defect dimen-sions in relation to speed, minimizing the need for revision by expert opinions. This comprehensive exploration contributes to understanding biomechanical factors influenc-ing injuries, particularly in vehicular accidents, and underscores the importance of em-pirical data in forensic practice. The proposed analytical approach and experimental insights provide valuable tools for forensic professionals and contribute to the broader understanding of injury mechanisms.
The homily as a way to the synodal Church.The possibility of building a responsible laity
Authors: Vodičar Janez
Published: May 2024

The first Church was formed during the Pentecostal speech of the apostles. The first forms of evangelization were narratives of personal experiences with Jesus. With the formation of structures in the Church, the role of authority in official proclamation in worship also developed. We will try to show how a communal sharing of God's word is necessary for a communal participation in Christ's sacrifice on the way to synodality. Pope Francis encourages everyone to bear witness to Christ. We would follow the words that Pope Francis wrote in The Joy of the Gospel: “We are not asked to be flawless, but to keep growing and wanting to grow as we advance along the path of the Gospel; our arms must never grow slack.” The fear of losing touch with the sources of Revelation and from the diversity of faith experiences must not stop us from seeking a word that would, as at the first Pentecost, inspire people to live the gospel. The primary responsibility for more believers to participate in the sacrifice of the Word in our liturgy lies with those who can speak today. We will point out guidelines on how to educate for greater participation and open the possibility for institutional change through the homily as we know it today. We will also point out some good practices that reflect the possibility of education for the testimony of all believers needed for a synodal Church.
The role of lay people in religious education. The competency of correlation of the religious education teacher
Authors: Reimer Tibor
Published: May 2024

The quality of religious education in schools is primarily a matter of the quality of the religious education teachers. In this paper we want to explore different professional perspectives on the acquired competences of the religious education teacher and we want to focus our attention on his specific competency of correlation to linking faith and the life of pupils, Church and school, and Church and society. Therefore, we understand the religious education teacher as a “tightrope walker” who is able to maintain a balance between these different environments.

Authors: Szewczyk Leszek
Published: May 2024

Piekary Śląskie is a place usually associated with the Marian sanctuary of Our Lady of Piekary — the Mother of Justice and Social Love. State pilgrimages of women and girls to Piekary Śląskie are events of pastoral and cultural importance that go far beyond the borders of the local Church. Social issues are strongly emphasized during the pilgrimages. A special feature is the welcome speeches delivered by the bishops of Katowice. This paper offers an analysis of speeches by Archbishop Damian Zimoń and Archbishop Wiktor Skworc, delivered during state pilgrimages of women and girls to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Piekary in 2001–2022. The addresses include description and critical analysis of current complex social problems in Poland. The speakers focused mainly on the issues of life and human dignity, marriage and family, civil rights and duties, respect for the poor and weak, dignity of human labour, social solidarity and natural environmental care.
Oryginalna synteza nauczania Soboru Watykańskiego II. 50. rocznica wydania „U podstaw odnowy” kard. Karola Wojtyły
Authors: Dobrzyński Andrzej
Published: May 2024

The article shows that monograph “Sources of Renewal. The Implementation of Vatican II” by Karol Wojtyła is an innovative interpretation of the conciliar doctrine, aimed at deepening the awareness of faith and forming a Christian attitude of responsibility for the revealed truth and for the community of the Church. In presenting this issue, reference is made to reviews of the book published in Poland and abroad, noting also the genesis of the monograph and the history of its editions and translations into foreign languages. Such a perspective, without entering into a substantive analysis of the book’s content, nevertheless entitles one to conclude that Wojtyła’s monograph is an undervalued position in the contemporary discussion about Vatican II, as well as for understanding John Paul II’s pontificate as an intellectual and pastoral process of conciliar reception. Therefore, in-depth studies on the monograph are needed, as well as further editions of the monograph with an appropriate introduction and indexes to facilitate its reading.
Pielgrzymka jako pozalekcyjna forma katechezy
Authors: Sroczyński Piotr
Published: May 2024

This article presents the pilgrimage as an extracurricular form of catechesis and the associated growth of students to holiness. The pilgrimage movement consists of three basic elements: man, space and the sacred. The conditions for sanctification are created by the pilgrimage space, but the most important is the man who undertakes the effort of the journey. First of all it depends on him and as to whether he opens himself to holiness or surrenders to the action of God. The sanctuary, which is the destination of the pilgrim's toil, expresses God's special presence and the mystery of His action in time, hidden under various signs of history. Seeing and recognizing these truths naturally triggers in the pilgrim's soul wonder and adoration.
Interval estimates of total content of antioxidants for different analytical assays
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Vershinin V. I.
Published: May 2024

Determination of total content (сΣ) of similar analytes recalculated to the standard substance Xst is a commonly used but metrologically incorrect measuring procedure leading to significant systematic errors (B-type uncertainties). Interval estimate сΣ is an alternative method (V.I. Vershinin et al., 2016) not requiring recalculation to Xst and, in difference from calculating total indices, not depending on the nature and ratio of the sought group constituents present in the sample. Such estimates are used for evaluating total content of antioxidants (AO) in foodstuffs. However, the dependence of these estimates on the choice of group reagent and signal measuring procedure is uncertain. To address this question, model mixtures of AO with known сΣ values ranging from 10–5 to 10–4 mol/L were prepared and examined. Generalized signals were measured spectrophotometrically using Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) and FRAP methods, and traditional and interval estimates of сΣ were calculated and compared. The true values of сΣ were within the respective intervals for all model mixtures; in case of F-C method the intervals were wider and shifted towards higher сΣ values. The FRAP procedure was modified by using AO-concentrations in mol-eq/L, reducing the reaction time and substituting the auxiliary reagent. This modification successfully leveled the sensibility coefficients of individual AOs and made the relative width of intervals three times as narrower. Modified FRAP method was used for group analysis of wines, black tea infusions and juices. Corresponding interval estimates of сΣ were obtained and compared. Unresolved issues and future research directions related to interval estimates are discussed.

A method of immobilizing Au–Pd binary system on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface covered by reduced graphene oxide (GOred) was developed. Using GOred as a matrix for inclusion of Au–Pd binary system resulted in significant increase of its catalytic activity in tetracycline (TC) electro-oxidation process due to increased dispersion of the deposit and formation of nano-sized metal particles (average diameter of particles was around 50 nm). Optimal conditions of immobilizing Au–Pd binary system for achieving maximum electrocatalytic effect were determined. A possibility of amperometric detection of TC on GC modified with Au–Pd and GOred composite (Au–Pd–GOred–GC) by flow injection analysis (FIA) was demonstrated. The method demonstrated high sensitivity (the lowest detection limit of 5 nM), rapidity and efficiency (about 60 samples per hour). The flow injection amperometric method for TC determination hereby developed was tested in analyzing flower honey samples from different Volga Region districts.

Published: May 2024

Widespread use of instrumental methods of analysis, in particular analytical spectroscopy, in recent years has led to increasing volume of information about the objects being studied. Experimental results are stored on a computer in the form of multidimensional digital data arrays that need to be processed in a special way, for example, to remove noise, visualize, analyze, and compress for efficient storage. For these purposes, there are theoretical methods and algorithms of data compression. At the same time compression (decompression) algorithms must ensure minimum distortion of the original signals for processing hyperspectral data. Large volume of data implies a comprehensive analysis of information. When working with multidimensional arrays, it is important to use special methods and technologies for processing, analyzing and interpreting hyperspectral data. This article provides information about the monograph “Data Compression in Spectroscopy” by Joseph Dubrovkin. The book was published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. The book was written by an expert with extensive experience in the field of multivariate data analysis and chemometrics. The book consists of a preface, information about the structure of the book, a list of abbreviations and symbols, an introduction for each of 4 chapters, 8 appendices, a list of references and a subject index. A large number of examples and exercises are illustrated with MATLAB programs, and bibliographic tables clearly demonstrate the use of compression methods in industrial and research laboratories. The material in the book is discussed chapter by chapter. This modern monograph on data compression in spectroscopy will be useful as a teaching aid for students and teaching staff, as well as for specialists in analytical laboratories.
GPT-4V Takes the Wheel: Promises and Challenges for Pedestrian Behavior Prediction
Authors: Huang Jia , Jiang Peng , Gautam Alvika , Saripalli Srikanth
Published: May 2024

Predicting pedestrian behavior is the key to ensure safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles. While deep learning methods have been promising by learning from annotated video frame sequences, they often fail to fully grasp the dynamic interactions between pedestrians and traffic, crucial for accurate predictions. These models also lack nuanced common sense reasoning. Moreover, the manual annotation of datasets for these models is expensive and challenging to adapt to new situations. The advent of Vision Language Models (VLMs) introduces promising alternatives to these issues, thanks to their advanced visual and causal reasoning skills. To our knowledge, this research is the first to conduct both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of VLMs in the context of pedestrian behavior prediction for autonomous driving. We evaluate GPT-4V(ision) on publicly available pedestrian datasets: JAAD and WiDEVIEW. Our quantitative analysis focuses on GPT-4V's ability to predict pedestrian behavior in current and future frames. The model achieves a 57% accuracy in a zero-shot manner, which, while impressive, is still behind the state-of-the-art domain-specific models (70%) in predicting pedestrian crossing actions. Qualitatively, GPT-4V shows an impressive ability to process and interpret complex traffic scenarios, differentiate between various pedestrian behaviors, and detect and analyze groups. However, it faces challenges, such as difficulty in detecting smaller pedestrians and assessing the relative motion between pedestrians and the ego vehicle.
INVESTIGATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PROCESSES OF HMX AND TAGzT MIXTURES USING THERMOLYSIS EXPERIMENTS AND QUANTUM CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS
Authors: Chatterjee Tanusree , Khichar Mayank , Thynell Stefan T.
Published: May 2024

The thermal decomposition characteristics of HMX (octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazine) and TAGzT [bis(triaminoguanidinium) 5,5'-azotetrazolate] mixtures were studied using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) coupled with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Three different heating rates (15, 20, and 25 K/min) and weight ratios of TAGzT (10%, 20%, and 30% of TAGzT by weight) were used to study the interaction between HMX and TAGzT. Based on thermolysis experiments, it is evident that, although there exists significant difference between melting points of HMX and TAGzT (~ 70 K lower than HMX), TAGzT and its decomposition products can react with HMX significantly even before it melts. The results show that decomposition products of HMX are also formed during decomposition of TAGzT. Thus, it is evident that TAGzT and its products react with solid-state HMX to significantly accelerate HMX decomposition to form products which are observed only after melting of a pure HMX sample. Quantum chemical (QC) calculations were also performed using CBS-QB3/CPCM level of theory to identify the important reactions involving TAGzT and HMX decomposition products qualitatively. These calculations show that the anion of TAGzT and additional anions, such as CN- formed during condensed-phase TAGzT decomposition, can abstract an H+ proton from HMX via exothermic reaction having forward Gibbs free energy barrier of only 115 kJ/mol. The products include a cyclic intermediate and NO2- anion, which in subsequent reactions forms HONO. The NO2- anion and nitrous acid are critical intermediates to accelerate the HMX decomposition.
Investigation of the mechanical response of recovered geogrids under repeated loading
Authors: Ibrahim A. , Desbrousses R. L. E. , Xu J. , Meguid M. A.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the mechanical response and performance of biaxial polypropylene geogrid specimens’ cyclic loading. This work assesses the influence of embedment depths and subgrade strengths on the geogrids. The experimental program involved subjecting the geogrid specimens to 100 repeated tensile loading cycles at four distinct load targets: 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of the geogrid ultimate tensile strength. The analysis focused on evaluating the effects of preloading factors such as California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values, embedment depth, and the response to cyclic testing. Results show trends in stiffness reduction and changes in damping ratio with increased number of cycles. A comparative analysis was conducted with a control specimen from the same batch, highlighting the difference in mechanical response attributed to precycling variables. The findings indicate that the overall mechanical behavior of recovered geogrids is comparably consistent with new geogrids. However, variations in strain and stiffness reduction were observed among the recovered specimens, suggesting a pattern of yielding before failure. The findings suggest a minimal effect of embedment depth on the damping ratio at lower CBR. Overall, it was found that precycling and subgrade conditions have minimal effect on the mechanical response of the recovered specimens when tested in isolation.
Dynamic failure behaviour of sandstone with filling joints using the Brazilian disc method
Authors: Su Qingqing , Tu Jinsong
Published: May 2024

Rock masses contain joints often filled with low-strength materials such as mud and gum. The instability mechanism of a filled jointed rock mass under dynamic loads is complex, posing challenges for disaster control. Splitting tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar device and a high-speed camera to investigate the effects of weak-filling joints at various angles on the failure mechanism and mechanical properties of sandstone. The typical failure processes, splitting mechanical properties and fracture morphologies were analysed. The results indicated that as the joint angle increased from 0 to 90°, the crack coalescence pattern of the jointed sample under static and dynamic splitting loads evolved from complete separation along the bonding surfaces to shear–slippage failure along the direction of the joint angle and tensile–shear failure with a dominant zigzag track, ultimately leading to typical tensile failure. Under dynamic loads, filled joints reduced the brittleness of the samples, contrary to the behaviour observed under static loads. The peak load and displacement were proportional to the joint angle and impact gas pressure, respectively. The fracture surface morphology precisely reflected the macroscopic fracture mechanism at the microscopic scale.
Evolución de la salud mental en Colombia
Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Basto Cáceres Ángela Lisbeth
Published: May 2024

Al abordar la salud mental, existen varios aspectos por considerar. Uno de ellos es la multidimensionalidad. En épocas donde la ciencia no da suficiente prevalencia a la medicina ancestral, esta, a pesar de ser empírica, logró acercarse a una comprensión medianamente integral, pues sus tratamientos no se limitaron a la botánica, sino que incluían rituales ancestrales dirigidos a tratar factores naturales y místicos (energías y espíritus). Con el tiempo, la multidimensionalidad fue sucumbiendo ante la prevalencia del modelo biomédico que trajo consigo el asistencialismo y la institucionalización de “personas enfermas”. A raíz de esto, la salud mental perdió el enfoque integral y se redujo a la enfermedad y a los tratamientos clínicos, sin contemplar acciones como la protección, la prevención o la promoción; sin embargo, tiempo después la higiene mental y el movimiento en salud mental lograron trascender y posicionar la salud mental como un derecho fundamental, una problemática de salud y una variable del bienestar individual y colectivo.

The essay explores the historical and ideological reasons behind these systems in the Indian subtitling profession. 
Understanding Free Speech as a Two-Way Right
Authors: Chan Jovy
Published: May 2024

This paper argues that free speech is a ‘two-way right’. The right to marriage is a typical two-way right: it is not a guarantee that every single person can get married. Instead, it only ensures that if two consenting adults wish to marry each other, they can do so freely. Similarly, the right to free speech does not protect a speaker’s unilateral right to speak, nor an audience’s unilateral right to hear. Free speech protects the parties’ right to communicate with each other. Many agree that communication is a collaborative activity. Yet, this collaborative essence is sometimes overlooked. Particularly, when analyzing speech rights, there is a tendency to zoom in on either the speaker interests or the audience interests, focusing on the distinctions between the two. The two-way approach reorients our understanding of free speech, to one that is more integrally shaped by a concept of communication as a joint collaborative endeavor.

Considering the Place of Apophaticism within Science-Engaged Theology
Authors: Leidenhag Mikael
Published: May 2024

Despite its firm embeddedness in the Christian tradition, apophatic theology has been strangely absent in the science-and-religion dialogue. Given that the apophatic theologian eschews the idea that we can fully comprehend God, or positively articulate God’s being, this may not be too surprising. Indeed, the model-based logic of science and religion and its ambition to articulate, for example, divine activity through the latest scientific advancements seems to run contrary to the spirit of apophaticism. This article discusses whether Perry and Leidenhag’s science-engaged theology may provide a more suitable home for those who emphasize the ineffability and mysteriousness of God’s being.

Türkiye’de Ergen Gruplarında Okul Terki ve Riskli Davranışlar Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Bir Meta Analiz Çalışması
Authors: Yılmaz Hilal , Gümüş Gökhan , Doruk Necip
Published: May 2024

Okul terki, eğitim süreci içindeki bir bireyin okulun geliştirici ortamından uzaklaşması veya dışlanması olarak nitelenebilir. Öğrenciler çeşitli durumlar nedeniyle okul terki riski ile yüz yüze kalabilmektedir. Örnek olarak akranları ile ilişkileri sorunlu olan bir öğrenci zaman içinde okuldan uzaklaşabilir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında okul terkinin olası birçok sebebi olabilir. Ancak bu araştırma öğrencilerin okul terki eğilimini riskli davranışlar üzerinden incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çünkü riskli davranışlar öğrencilerin okul ve sınıf ortamında arkadaşlarıyla birlikte oluşma ihtimali en yüksek davranış örüntülerindendir. Bu amaçla bu araştırmada okul terki ve riskli davranışlar arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla meta-analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Meta-analiz alanyazında toplanmış nicel verileri bir araya getirerek genel bir sonuç elde etmeyi amaçlayan nicel bir araştırma yöntemidir. Meta-analiz süreçlerinde etki büyüklüğü katsayıları meta-analizin temelini oluşturur. Alanyazında korelasyonel araştırmaların etki büyüklüğünü hesaplamak için genellikle Fisher’in Z katsayısı kullanılmaktadır. Bu araştırmada da bu katsayı, orman grafik ve huni grafik yardımıyla incelenerek analiz sürecinin yürütülmesine karar verilmiştir. Bu amaçla analizler, Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) yazılımının 3. sürümü kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde okul terki ve antisosyal davranışlar ile alkol kullanımı, sigara kullanımı, intihar eğilimi ve riskli beslenme davranışları arasında genel olarak orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular değerlendirildiğinde okullarda riskli davranış eğiliminin artması durumunda okul terki risklinin de artabileceği buna ek olarak okul terkinin yaşanması durumunda bireylerin gelişimsel fırsatları kaçırabileceği söylenilebilir. Bu açıdan okul terkinin azaltılması için riskli davranışlara yönelik çalışmalar önemli bir adım olabilir.

According to recent scholarship, populist governments engage in “unpolitics,” a repudiation of politics as the process of resolving conflict, including on the level of the EU. We propose that the conditions provided by the Council preparatory bodies, namely constructive negotiation culture, focus on technical details and containment of a negotiation outside of mediatised venues, might hamper the emergence of unpolitics. We test this argument by tracing the process of the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence, concluded in June 2023. This case study serves as a hard case for our theory because gender equality as a policy area is susceptible to tactics of unpolitics and right-wing populists have employed populist critique of the Istanbul Convention in their domestic contexts. Having analysed multiple data sources, including interviews with negotiators in the Council of the EU, official EU documents, and media coverage, we find little evidence of unpolitics in the case of the Council’s negotiation of the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention. We suggest that decision-making venues such as Council preparatory bodies can mitigate phenomena associated with populism, such as the use of unpolitics tactics in EU decision-making.

Background. Due to the fact that the world of work is characterised by its wide coverage, not all categories related to it can receive proper regulation in labour legislation in a timely manner. The above-mentioned issues are quite visible in business environment, where such categories as ensuring that employees do not compete with their employers and non-disclosure of commercial secrets obtained in the course of employment are of great importance. Despite a sufficiently detailed analysis of non-competition and non-disclosure agreements in the studies of domestic scholars, the practical implementation of these categories in Ukrainian labour law has remained unaddressed. Methods. In the process of preparing this paper, the author applied dialectical, comparative and legal, formal and logical methods of research. With the help of the dialectical method, in particular, the author identifies the specific features of legal regulation of refraining from competitive actions and non-disclosure of commercial secrets. The comparative and legal method helped to carry out a comparative legal study of the provisions of national and foreign legislation governing non-competition and non-disclosure of commercial secrets in the world of work. The formal and logical method was used to identify shortcomings in the legal regulation of preventing employees from committing competitive actions against employers and non-disclosure of commercial secrets. Results. The implementation of mechanisms to ensure non-competition and non-disclosure of commercial secrets in employment relationships in Ukraine is significantly limited due to the lack of a clear regulatory framework. And while the issue of non-disclosure of trade secrets can be resolved at the level of local employer regulations developed with the participation of employees' representatives, the non-competition with the employer is currently limited only by the legal regime of Diia City. This is primarily due to the significant impact of non-competition on the labour rights of the parties of employment relationship. Conclusions. The comprehensive implementation of non-competition and non-disclosure of commercial secrets in labour relations in Ukraine is currently impossible without ensuring their proper regulation at the level of labour legislation.
EFFECTIVENESS OR APPROPRIATENESS OF THE REMEDY?

Background. Article 5(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine and Article 5(2) of the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine cause academic discussions and challenges in case law. In particular, they may be a reason for dismissing a claim if the court believes that the remedy chosen by the plaintiff to protect the violated civil right is not effective. However, the analysis of other provisions of Ukrainian law, as well as the understanding of the concept of effectiveness, raise doubts as to whether the court should analyse the effectiveness of the remedy chosen by the plaintiff. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to answer the question: should the court assess the effectiveness of the remedy or its appropriateness? In connection with this task, the study aims to analyze the concepts of appropriateness and effectiveness of remedies for the protection of violated rights. Methods. To achieve the purpose of the study, the author used the following methods: formal and logical, dialectical, and comparative. Results. The concept of "method of defense determined by law or contract" applied in Ukrainian legislation and its understanding in the doctrine and case law is studied. The categories of "effectiveness" and "appropriateness of the remedy" are analyzed. Conclusions. An effective remedy is one provided for by law or contract, or one that is not provided for by law or contract, but does not contradict the law, and which, in the opinion of the person whose right has been violated, is in his or her interests. A proper remedy is a remedy provided for by law or contract or not contrary to law, and which can be applied to protect the violated right based on the actual circumstances of the case. Any effective remedy is appropriate, however, not every appropriate remedy is effective. Appropriateness is an objective category, so it can be assessed not only by the subject of the relevant rights, but also by the court. Effectiveness is a subjective category, so it can be assessed only by the subject of the relevant rights, and should not be assessed by the court. Implementation of this idea requires amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine.

The article substantiates the possibility of identifying socially dangerous acts that are de jure not criminal offenses, but de facto can be attributed to the subject of legalization. Attention is drawn to the problematic aspects of the practice of lifting the criminal law prohibition of acts, which according to the level of public danger should be defined as criminal offenses, and at the same time, be considered a source of origin of the subject of legalization. It emphasizes the inaccuracy of the legislative approach to the restrictive interpretation of the list of criminally punishable actions, which, objectively, provide for economic gain in an illegal manner, as a result of which it is not possible to classify them as predicate criminal offenses. The scientific basis for the possibility of using civil transactions to commit criminal offenses and under the guise of lawful business activities to hide the actual goal, the achievement of which involves criminal intent, including obtaining economic benefits. The ratio of the categories «tax minimization» and «tax evasion» is considered, as well as the possibility of classifying not only criminal but also other offenses as sources of legalization is clarified. The purpose of the study is to develop an author’s scientific approach to addressing the possibility of classifying as sources the subject of legalization of acts in respect of which there is no criminal law prohibition. It is concluded that the existence of a legally defined criminal law prohibition is a crucial aspect in the context of resolving the issue of the possibility of classifying socially dangerous actions as predicate criminal offenses, which are the sources of the subject of legalization. The opinion is expressed about the erroneousness of the legislative approach to the restrictive interpretation of the list of criminally punishable actions, which objectively provide for economic gain in an illegal way, as a result of which it is not possible to classify them as predicate criminal offenses. It is proved that the norms of the domestic law on criminal liability do not fully take into account the level of public danger of actions that are an illegal source of economic benefit. It is substantiated that the level of public danger of such actions is a necessary factor for adequate awareness of the need, first, for a criminal law prohibition of conduct that is unacceptable from the point of view of the state and society and contradicts the characteristics of its development; secondly, the distinction between criminal and administrative offenses and non-criminal conduct; thirdly, the identification of actions aimed at using gaps to reduce their own tax liabilities, which necessitate the need to improve legislation in this area.

Grounds, order and limits of interventional from the authorized public organs, in private life of citizens were always examined as one of scientific issues of the day, the decision of that has an extraordinarily important value for law enforcement activities. The use of covert methods of gathering information necessary for criminal proceedings is a well-established practice of both domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies. Gradual democratic development of civil society, the recognition of the inalienability and inviolability of human rights and freedoms, the realization that they belong to the man by nature and the reflection of this fact in the public consciousness created the preconditions for the state, its bodies and officials to temporarily restricts rights and human freedoms are strictly regulated, and the use of the results of interference with private communication in criminal proceedings is properly monitored. However, in some cases the use of such results is complicated, which requires the study of this problem and the search for possible solutions. The main purpose of the article is to highlight the problematic issues of using the results of interference in private communication in criminal proceedings and search, based on the theoretical achievements of scientists who conducted scientific research in this area, ways to solve them. The study found that compared to the total number of covert investigative (search) actions, only a relatively low number of results of interference in private communication are used as evidence in criminal proceedings. Among the main reasons for this are the shortcomings of fixing the progress and results of covert investigative (search) actions, violation of the procedural deadlines for their transfer to the prosecutor and the imperfect procedure for declassification material media. Due to the selection of typical violations that are allowed during covert investigative (search) actions that related to interference in private communications and some shortcomings of the legal regulation of this issue, ways to eliminate them have been proposed. In particular, it is proposed to make appropriate changes and additions to part 1 of Art. 246, part 3 of Art. 252 of the CPC of Ukraine and the interdepartmental Instruction about the organization of covert investigative (search) actions and the use of their results in criminal proceeding of November 16, 2012 № 114/1042/516/1199/936/1681/51.

What events in pregnant woman underlie twins formation? What do zygosity, chorionicity and amnionicity depend on? It seems that the answer is very clear. As early as in 1955, the works by G.W. Corner were published, which served as the basis for proposing the traditional model of twins formation, still remains widely acknowledged. But whether is everything so obvious? In order to answer this question, it is necessary to go back to the roots and understand of how the overall idea about fertilization and formation of multiple pregnancies has evolved since the XVII century till the present time.
