Legitimacy of Subjects of the Right to Judicial Protection in the Law Enforcement Practice of Land and Property Disputes Resolution: Formulation of the Problem
Authors: Khominich M. S.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of the ownership of the plaintiff and the defendant as parties to a land-property dispute in the current law enforcement practice of courts of general jurisdiction. The author emphasizes that the primary task of the judicial branch of government and a specific court as its representative is to correctly determine the subject composition of the case, the subject of which is the resolution of a land and property dispute. Achieving the specified task has two main consequences: obtaining legal protection of the violated, unrecognized or disputed right by the proper “offended” person and placing responsibility for the committed encroachment on property rights on the actual violator.
The article analyzes the procedural institution of replacement of an improper defendant as a mechanism designed to ensure the implementation of the principle of ownership of the parties to the dispute in the civil process. In particular, the author drew attention to the fact that in the judicial practice of courts of all instances, the terms “proper plaintiff” and “improper plaintiff” are used, the definition of which is not contained in the current civil procedural legislation. In addition, the article analyzes the judicial law enforcement practice formed in the part of replacing an improper party in cases for the resolution of land and property disputes and formulates relevant conclusions regarding the ambiguity of the positions of courts of general and administrative jurisdiction in this matter. The author conducted a comparative analysis of the legal regulation of the institution of replacement of the proper party in a dispute under civil and administrative procedural legislation.
Based on the results of the research, the author outlined the scientific and practical aspects of the investigated issues in this field of civil procedural law. In particular, the author comes to the conclusion about the inconsistency of the legislator’s vector regarding the development of an effective procedural mechanism for the protection of the rights of subjects of land legal relations, which in turn creates prerequisites for possible abuse of the court’s procedural powers.
Negative legal facts as a subject of proof in administrative and civil proceedings
Authors: Shymon S. I. , Lupalo O. A.
Published: May 2024

The authors of the article investigate the problems of dividing legal facts into positive and negative and prove that this division should be carried out only according to the criterion of the form of manifestation of the relevant circumstances. It is inappropriate to divide legal facts into positive and negative according to the criterion of the consequences they cause.
Positive and negative legal facts are categories of the science of procedural (evidential) law. They are important in both civil and administrative proceedings. A negative legal fact denotes a circumstance that does not exist in reality and its absence has specific legal consequences. A negative legal fact is a circumstance that does not exist, so it is difficult to prove it in court. In judicial practice, an approach has developed, according to which the proof of a negative legal fact is connected with the proof of its opposite positive legal fact.
The authors of the article demonstrate the process of proving a negative legal fact using the example of proving in court the fact of concluding a civil deed, in respect of which the requirement for a mandatory written form has not been met. If the interested party provides adequate evidence that proves a positive legal fact (the existence of a deed), then the opposite negative legal fact (the absence of a deed) is refuted. If the interested party does not prove the existence of a positive legal fact, then the opposite negative fact is considered proven.
A similar approach is observed in administrative proceedings. The legislator places the burden of proof on the party interested in proving a positive legal fact. Thus, if the inaction of a public authority is contested, the burden of proof of the fact that the corresponding necessary actions have been taken rests with this authority. And the burden of proving the fact of the existence of damage caused by illegal individual acts of the relevant bodies rests with the plaintiff.
Debt restructuring procedure of an individual
Authors: Voloshynov D. O.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the procedure for restructuring debts of an individual in the process of bankruptcy. It is noted that the relevance of this article in the context of the procedure for restructuring the debts of an individual in the process of bankruptcy is determined by the need to understand and develop mechanisms that will allow debtors with financial difficulties to receive effective support and preserve their rights during such procedures. On the basis of judicial practice, it is determined that the restructuring of the debtor’s debts is the first, mandatory and priority stage of the case of insolvency of a natural person, in which the debtor can exercise the right to change the method and order of debt payment, taking into account his objective capabilities and desire to settle with by creditors, having guarantees of leaving part of the income to meet household needs and can receive forgiveness (write-off) of creditor claims or part of them.
The mechanism of drawing up a plan for restructuring the debts of an individual is analyzed.
It was concluded that the restructuring of the debts of an individual is the optimal way to end the bankruptcy case both for the individual and for his creditors, since his solvency is restored and debts are repaid. The procedure for restructuring the debts of an individual will be implemented on the condition that the debtor implements the restructuring plan on time and in full. Based on the analysis of judicial practice and legislation, including European countries, it is proposed to implement out-of-court debt restructuring of an individual, namely the approval of a restructuring plan based on a settlement agreement between an individual and creditors.
It is argued that a general retreat from excessive formality and burdensome procedures in restructuring the debts of individuals in Ukraine can contribute to improving the efficiency of this process and protecting the interests of all parties. Such implementation will help to improve the efficiency and accessibility of the debt restructuring procedure of natural persons in Ukraine, contributing to solving financial difficulties of citizens and ensuring the stability of the country’s financial system.

Published: May 2024

Background The clinical application of the innovative instantaneous elasticity and fat attenuation measurement technology, Hepatus, is currently in the evaluation stage. This study aimed to compare the detection performance of Fibroscan and Hepatus in patients with metabolic dysregulation who are "at-risk" for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods Between January 2021 and April 2021, 149 patients were enrolled in this study. Clinical data were collected, and all patients underwent both Fibroscan and Hepatus assessments to determine liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and attenuation parameters. The correlation between the results obtained from the two transient elastography (TE) devices was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were constructed to compare the diagnostic value of Fibroscan and Hepatus for Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI)-based NAFLD.Results The detection success rate of Hepatus (100.0%) was higher than that of Fibroscan (96.0%). LSM (r = 0.663, P0.05) and attenuation parameters (r = 0.778, P0.05) obtained by Fibroscan and Hepatus were significantly correlated. Hepatus tended to produce a higher LSM (Hepatus vs. Fibroscan: 6.04 vs. 5.66 kPa, P=0.016) but a lower attenuation parameter than Fibroscan (Hepatus vs. Fibroscan: 264 vs. 277 dB/m, P0.001). The area under the ROC curve for detecting HSI-based NAFLD was 0.811 for Fibroscan and 0.832 for Hepatus.Conclusion Measurements obtained by Fibroscan and Hepatus are strongly correlated, and the diagnostic value of the two TE devices is comparable in detecting HSI-based NAFLD. Hepatus offer a potential TE alternative in NAFLD examination.

Authors: KONOVALOVA Oksana G. , BALAKHONOV Sergei Yu. , LAPIN Il'ya O.
Published: May 2024

Subject. The article investigates the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and implications of its implementation for the energy systems of countries with high carbon footprint.
Objectives. The aim is to create a forecast of changes in the balance of the country's energy supply system, considering the gradual introduction of the CBAM with a decrease in the number of free permits for non-payment of declared emissions, and an increase in the coverage of emissions.
Methods. The study employs methods of statistical analysis.
Results. The study established that the introduction of the CBAM creates economic threats for exporting countries with a high carbon footprint. A national emissions trading system is a means of combating it. The paper shows that with the forecast price of carbon permits obtained on the basis of time series extrapolation, the introduction of a system of emission quotas will reduce losses in GDP and the total energy capacity of the country's energy system.
Conclusions. The establishment of the system of emission quotas is a complex and lengthy process that requires the development and testing of economic and financial mechanisms.

Published: May 2024

Resource consumption and the continuous emission of greenhouse gases in Nigeria have been experiencing an upward trend. Consequently, stakeholders are advocating for more transparency in corporate practices, especially those that negatively affect the environment. The research aimed to evaluate the impact of corporate attributes and environmental accounting disclosure within the context of publicly listed pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. The research methodology used in this study was ex post facto. Using a census sampling methodology, the population consists of seven pharmaceutical enterprises officially listed on the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) as of December 31, 2022. The data used in this study was extracted from the verified annual financial reports of the businesses from 2010 to 2022. The collected data were analyzed with the panel data regression model employing ordinary least squares. The findings indicate that the characteristics of corporations have a notable and favourable influence on the extent to which organizations disclose information related to environmental accounting. According to the study, there is a weak and harmful correlation between leverage and environmental accounting disclosures. According to the study, Leverage and environmental accounting disclosures have an inactive and adverse relationship. Conversely, industry size and profitability show a strong, favourable relationship with these disclosures. The study's results indicate that the extent of information disclosure on environmental accounting by pharmaceutical businesses is significantly influenced by their company size and level of profitability. It is recommended that enterprises expand in terms of scale and profitability to ensure the submission of financial reports that adhere to worldwide standards of excellence.

Authors: Funom Theophilus Makama  , Esther Funom Makama  , Peter Maitalata Waziri  , Abubakar Gezawa  , Attahiru Dan-Ali Mustapha
Published: May 2024

Background: Children involved in the Almajiri system of training are boys, exposed to harsh conditions and subjected to begging to fend for themselves, leaving them susceptible to violence, hunger, starvation, infections, child predators, and being used as elements of violence. This decreases their chances of surviving till adulthood as a lot die even before they reach age 16.
Objectives: The main objective of this research, which was carried out in 2018, was to quantitatively determine the survival rate of the children who were enrolled in the Almajiri program and evaluate the extent of its negative impact on the child survival rate in Nigeria.
Methodology: The research design was a cross-sectional study of a population selected through a combined two separate purposive sampling method, which involves door-to-door primary data collection through a questionnaire. 137 villages across 2 Northern states of Nigeria, which are major areas of the sources of boys born into the Almajiri system, were selected for this research and the two northern states were Kaduna and Kano states. Participants were mothers of one boy at least and of the Hausa or Fulani tribes ranging from 18 to 64 years of age. Working-class mothers of the same description in the capital city of Kano state of Northern Nigeria were also randomly selected.
Result: A total number of 16,857 mothers were interviewed, out of which 8422 were desired mothers (50%). From these desired mothers came about 102,349 children (12 children/mother), out of which 26011 died before they were 5 years old (25%). The boys who finally survived and enrolled in the Almajiri system of training were 25,892 (25% of all live births). Out of these surviving boys, 12,975 died (50%); 8639 were lost and their whereabouts not known (33%); 4278 survived and are still alive (16.5%).
Conclusion: This has led to the conclusion that for every 6 boys sent away to engage in the Almajiri system of seeking knowledge in Northern Nigeria, 3 die, 1 stays alive and the other 2 are lost, their whereabouts not known. This is at least 50% of the child mortality of boys born into the Almajiri system of Northern Nigeria.

Causes of Gender Disparities in Kenyan Organizations and the Respective Trade Unions
Authors: Dr. Denis Muchangi  , Dr. David Kabata
Published: May 2024

Gender disparities continue to be reported in various dimensions of industrial occupations in Kenya and other parts of the world. This is despite the efforts by various stakeholders, including the enactment of the various gender-responsive labour laws and the inclusion of the industrial relations provision in the Kenyan constitution. Currently, according to the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics, women's representation in formal wage employment in Kenya is below 27 per cent. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the institutional factors that influence gender disparities at selected organizations and the respective trade unions in Kenya. A descriptive survey research design was used to obtain data from selected companies in Kenya. Primary data were obtained using questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data was sourced from company records. The data collected were coded and converted to numerical codes, which represent the attributes of the various variables of the proposed study. Data were summarized using percentages, ratios, frequencies and the measures of central tendency. The study findings indicated that gender disparities continue to be experienced at the various levels of organizational and trade union hierarchies. Margins of gender disparities tended to be higher at the top management compared to the operational levels of the organizations. Disparities, too, tend to be higher in manufacturing organizations compared to service sector organizations. The institutional factors that were observed to cause gender disparities included the recruitment practices and procedures, lack of inspection by the ministry in charge of labour in Kenya, and lack of provisions for appeal in the recruitment and promotion policies of the studied organizations. In the right of these findings, the study recommended that there should be strict measures by the government to ensure the implementation of the two-thirds rule at all organizational levels. Both the government and the trade unions must engage in regular labour inspections as a way of enforcing labour laws.

Published: May 2024

The present research aims to study the topic of (Rules of Patient's Sale During Death-Illness in the Jordanian Civil Code), which is one of the important topics that need further research and did not attain sufficient due diligence in the civil law literature.The dispositions of this illness are also very important, as death-illness is an illness which most likely results in the death of the person with that health situation within a year. However, should the period of illness extend to over a year without any intensification on the ill person's health situation, the said person's dispositions are considered correct. Even though he is ill because the disease is not then considered a disease of death. If a person is surrounded by risk factors of death and the likelihood of the illness resulting in death, then that person might be considered to have a death-illness. Death is considered a reason for the succession of the creditors and heirs in the inheritance of the patient after his death. Because with death, a person loses his capacity to own property, and his natural personality ends, but his legal personality extends metaphorically until his debts are paid. In addition, the purpose of linking the rights of creditors to the patient's inheritance is for the repayment of debts. As for the purpose of the heirs, it is to achieve their succession in two-thirds of the patient's inheritance after the payment of debts. I have clearly discussed this subject in detail. This study included a set of results and recommendations.

Published: May 2024

Background
Crimes recorded by law enforcement agencies may be directly or indirectly related to drugs. There is growing concern about the increasing illicit drug use in Ghana, especially among younger people, which is perceived by many as contributing to the increase in criminal activities. The main objective of this research is to explore the role of illicit drugs and alcohol use in relation to crime among prison inmates. The study was carried out at the Kumasi Central Prison to investigate drug use among inmates through empirical interviews and drug tests. A semi-structured interview questionnaire was used to collect qualitative and quantitative demographic data from the prison inmates and the police officers. The inmates were tested for illicit drug use by rapid immune assay test and High performance liquid chromatography.
Results
The study revealed that the majority of the inmates had used one type of illicit substance or the other, even though only 6% of the inmates tested positive for cannabis. About 40% of respondents were incarcerated as a result of drug related crimes. 85% of persons previously arrested for drug crimes still had their current incarceration resulting from drugs. 82% of the respondents admitted that illicit substance use had both behavioural and psychological effects on the user and influenced crime commission.
Conclusions
Illicit substance use has a strong correlation to criminal activities. State institutions should prioritise the rehabilitation of drug convicts in order to minimise the reoccurrence of crimes. It is recommended that steps be taken to reduce the continuous traffic of drugs into prisons.

The ecological state of surface waters in Lviv region is affected by various factors: soil and air pollution, technogenic load on the territory, inefficient operation of sewage treatment plants in settlements, pollution and littering of rivers with household and other waste. Another important problem leading to surface water pollution in the region is the absence of water protection zones and coastal protective strips. The lack of cartographic materials and the undefined boundaries of water pro-tection zones and coastal protection strips result in violations of land and water legislation. Currently, the state of water bodies in Lviv region is unsatisfactory. The main problems in this area lie in the growing negative impact on the environment and human health. The main purpose of this paper is to create a web map of surface water pollution in Lviv region, in particular, using remote sensing data. To this end, we have collected and systematized geospatial statistical cartographic materials on the ecological state of surface waters. In addition to statistical data, remote sensing (RS) data obtained from various sources have been used to assess the state of surface waters. The necessary software for the development of such a web map has been identified. An algorithm for uploading geospatial data to the created web resource has been developed. Thus, the web maps of surface water pollution in Lviv region have been created in ArcGIS Online, a software environment

Las clausuras en bosques templados se han usado con frecuencia para evaluar los efectos del ganado con objetivos de conservación y restauración. Sin embargo, su empleo con objetivos de manejo en sistemas productivos integrados a bosques nativos está poco estudiado. Dado que los estudios se concentran en el hemisferio norte, es fundamental avanzar en investigaciones locales que aporten herramientas de manejo que garanticen la continuidad del componente forestal y la funcionalidad del sistema. Por ello, analizamos la respuesta de la vegetación a la exclusión temporal del ganado en sistemas silvopastoriles en bosques mixtos de Austrocedrus chilensis - Nothofagus dombeyi de la Patagonia norte. Evaluamos cambios en la estructura, la composición y la funcionalidad de la vegetación del sotobosque, así como en la regeneración de las especies dominantes del dosel. Seleccionamos tres predios de productores medianos y en cada uno establecimos parcelas abiertas y clausuras pareadas que se monitorearon durante tres años. Las clausuras afectaron de forma significativa el crecimiento en altura de los renovales de N. dombeyi y marginalmente la supervivencia de plántulas de A. chilensis, mientras que la riqueza de especies, la composición, la cobertura y la diversidad funcional del sotobosque no mostraron cambios. La cobertura de especies palatables no se vio afectada, posiblemente debido a la mayor limitación por luz que por la herbivoría y al corto tiempo de exclusión analizado. Bajo las condiciones estudiadas, la exclusión comunitaria de corto plazo no parece una herramienta conveniente en un manejo predial para promover la producción de forraje o la regeneración de las especies forestales más sensibles.

The research demonstrates the main abilities of using CCU ҡIKI-Monitoringә and object-based monitoring technology to analyze the state of the environment in areas where large industrial facilities producing emissions, for example, nitrogen dioxide, are located. A brief description of the composite images with the concentration of small gas components based on data from the Sentinel-5P satellite (TROPOMI device) is given. A comparison of satellite data with the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the troposphere together with information obtained by ground-based measurements in the surface layer for Moscow is provided. Major problems of analysis and interpretation of available data related to the need to analyze meteorological information together with satellite data are identified. A technology for creating a windless composite image to localize the sources of nitrogen dioxide emissions is described. An iterative threshold method for identifying stationary sources of nitrogen dioxide emissions on the territory of Russia is proposed along with the estimation of their intensity. Some results of data processing on the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere over million-plus cities in Russia, which are one of the most powerful sources of emissions of this gas, are given.
A Variant on the CREST iMTD Algorithm for Non-Covalent Clusters of Flexible Molecules

Published: May 2024

Conformational ensemble generation and the search for the global minimum conformation are important problems in computational chemistry. In this work, a variant on the Conformer-Rotamer Ensemble Sampling Tool (CREST) iterative metadynamics (iMTD) algorithm designed for determining structural ensembles and energetics of non-covalent clusters of flexible molecules is presented. We term this new algorithm a Low-Energy Diversity-Enhanced variant on CREST, or LEDE-CREST. As with CREST, the energies are evaluated using the semiempirical GFN2-xTB extended tight binding approach. The utility of the algorithm is highlighted by generating ensembles for a variety of non-covalent clusters of flexible or rigid monomers using both CREST and LEDE-CREST

While 1,1-biaryl diols and amino alcohols are privileged scaffolds, their streamlined catalytic synthesis with unsymmetrical substitution patterns remains a daunting challenge. Herein, we describe the first ruthenium(II)-catalyzed synthesis of un-symmetrical 1,1-biaryl-2,2-diols via a deformylative coupling of ortho-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes with diverse cyclic di-azo compounds. The protocol is operationally simple, scalable, and involves intriguing C–C bond activation and carbene insertion cascade to produce a range of diversely functionalized biaryl diols in very high to excellent yields and regioselectivity. The methodology is also suitable to access heterobiaryl amino alcohols bearing indole motif, applicable in challenging two-fold C–C activation leading to valuable tetrahydroxy bis-biaryls, and retains efficacy in the site-selective modification of pharmaceutical agents. DFT studies have also been conducted to illustrate the intricacy of this catalytic cycle.
