مثلت المناهج اللسانية عموما مصداقا للتطور اللغوي في مجالات الدلالة والتركيب وصولا إلى التداول، وقد مثلّ المنهج الوظيفي الذي تأسس على مراعاة البعد التداولي للألفاظ أبرزَ المناهج اللسانية الحديثة، إذ ميّز مؤرخو البحث اللساني بين تيارين رئيسين : تيار (صوري) يقف في دراسته للغات الطبيعية عند بنيتها ولا يكاد يتعداها، وتيار (وظيفي) يحاول وصف بنية اللغات الطبيعية بربطها بما تؤديه هذه اللغات من وظائف داخل المجتمعات البشرية، فالنظريات الصورية تنظر إلى اللغة على أنها نسق مجرد أو مجموعة من الجمل المجردة التي تؤدي مجموعة من الوظائف، ويسلط هذا البحث الضوء على اللسانيات الوظيفية عموما وما يخص الفعل منها على وجه الخصوص ليعكس تأثير هذا المنهج على البحث اللغوي.
المدينة وخصائصها في فكر المقدسي
Authors: Al-Fahdawi Asma Hamad Sultan , Al-Dulaimi Kamal Abdullah Hassan
Published: April 2021

تمثل المدينة أحد مظاهر الحياة التي اسهمت في بناءها ، بل إن المدينة هي الحضارة كما يراها كل من بودلنك وشينجلر ، أذ تتطلب الحضارة الاستقرار لكي يتحرر المرء من عوامل التقلب والتشتت ودوافع القلق وكل هذا لا يتم إلا في المدينة ، وبحسب المعاجم اللغوية العربية فأن المدينة هي المكان الذي يقام فيه والذي له حدود ثابته ، وهذا المعنى يقابله تعبيرات اخرى مشابهة له وهي المصر والحاضرة والمدرة ولو بدرجة اقل ، ولكون المدينة لها اهمية كبيرة في القرآن الكريم والاحاديث النبوية الشريفة فقد تحدث عنها المقدسي بالتفصيل من حيث المعنى والتوزيع والتصنيف والمقومات والوظائف والمورفولوجية وانواع المدن بحسب الوظائف التي تؤديها وحجوم المدن وسبل التفريق بين القرية والمدينة . ولكثرة كلامه عن المدينة فأن كتاب أحسن التقاسيم في معرفة الاقاليم يصف بأنه دراسة في الجغرافية البشرية بامتياز. وقد فصّل المقدسي في تناوله للمدينة اموراً عدة تعلقت بالموضع والموقع والامتداد واستعمالات الارض فيها، فضلاً عن حجومها وتوزيعها المكاني. مع تناول العادات والتقاليد والاعياد والمناسبات. كما تحدث عن طرز البناء والعمارة والمواد المستخدمة في البناء وامتداد الشوارع واتجاهاتها والمساحات بين المدينة.

Publishing a Research Article: A Dialogue between the Author and the Journal
Authors: Sheypak S. A.
Published: April 2021

The paper addresses concerns of preparing the research article for publication in a high-ranking international journal. The paper argues how to develop the competence which is required for successful manuscript submission in the international peer-review journal. The analysis of the reasons for rejecting the manuscript submitted in international journals suggests considering a successful submission through the dialogue between the author and the discourse community of the journal selected for publication. The publication competence of the author is considered as the author’s ability to construct his/her position in the text or authorial voice. Bakhtin’s concept of voice allows interpreting authorial positioning in the dialogue with the discourse community selected for submission. While only the author’s position in the article is intentionally aligned with the epistemological, discursive, and rhetorical boundaries of the discursive community of the journal, the author’s voice may be approved by the community through publication. The approach adopted in the paper is based on Swales’ concept of discourse community and the concept of author’s positioning in academic text suggested by Ivanič. The structure of authorial positioning in the article is developed by using Schmid’s model of the narrative text. The publication competence of the author confirms his/her ability to construct authorial voice, which requires firstly determining the boundaries of the discursive community selected for publication through reading. When the author aligns his/her position in the manuscript with the community boundaries, the author’s voice is addressed to the selected community and it is able to convince the community in the validity of the researcher’s results. In conclusion, the structure of authorial positioning in the research paper is suggested for designing the curriculum of academic writing for publication purposes (ERPP) which aims at successful interactions between the author and the journal community at all stages of manuscript elaboration.

Learning Sciences Perspective on Engineering of Distance Learning. Part 2
Authors: Tchoshanov M. A.
Published: April 2021

There is an on-going debate in the literature on theoretical underpinnings of distance learning. Scholars consider different theoretical perspectives including but not limited to theory of independence and autonomy, theory of industrialization, and theory of interaction and communication through the lens of a traditional Learning Theory approach. There is a lack of discussion on a potential role of a newly emerging field of Learning Sciences in framing the theory of distance learning. Thus, in this paper we provide a theoretical analysis of the Learning Sciences as a new approach to understand distance learning in the era of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Learning Sciences is an interdisciplinary field that studies teaching and learning. This emerging innovative field includes but is not limited to multiple disciplines such as cognitive science, educational psychology, anthropology, computer science, to name a few. The Learning Sciences’ major objective is to understand and design effective learning environments, including distance learning, based on the latest findings about the processes involved in human learning.

Authors: Bolotov V. A. , Motova G. N. , Navodnov V. G.
Published: April 2021

The paper suggests a new approach to performance evaluation of universities in Russia and worldwide based on aggregation of the results of ten global rankings and the Database of External Quality Assurance Results (DEQAR). The method of league analysis (MetALeague) allows the authors to integrate the diverse results of ranking and evaluation regardless of considerable variations in ranking methodology and indicators. As a result of MetALeague integration, the Global Aggregated Ranking of higher education institutions has been made. The paper analyses the global rankings and the position of Russian HEIs in these rankings. The authors have also analyzed the positions of countries based on the number of HEIs included in the Global Aggregated Ranking. The due consideration of research results, according to the authors, can propel the leading Russian universities to higher positions in the global educational environment.

Published: April 2021

AIM:

The aim of this study was to correlate the content of cells with regulatory molecules associated with angiogenesis in wound healing in a rat model of hyperglycemia. We hypothesize that blood neutrophils are the main VEGF source and can stimulate FLT-1 receptor expression, which is the perquisite for efficient neoangiogenesis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Kinetic studies of the healing dynamics (3, 7, 14, 21 days) of burn wounds on the skin were conducted in white adult male rats. The content of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its receptor (Flt-1) in the regenerated tissue was analyzed by western blot. Numbers of cells associated with the regenerative process and from peripheral blood (PB) were determined. Additionally a bone marrow (BM) myelogram was conducted.

RESULTS:

The relative number of peripheral blood (PB) neutrophils was found to be associated with the level of VEGF ( R = 0.708) and Flt-1 ( R = 0.472). The relative number of fibroblasts was also associated with VEGF ( R = 0.562), but not with Flt-1. A negative association was found between the number of neutrophils in the regenerated tissue with VEGF ( R = –0.454) and FLT-1 ( R = –0.665). This confirms our hypothesis, that blood neutrophils are the main VEGF producer that stimulate the expression of the FLT-1 receptor subsequently inducing neoangiogenesis. Furthermore, that under hyperglycemic conditions fibroblasts were highly associated with VEGF ( R = 0.800), while negatively associated with FLT-1 ( R = –0.506). There was a high association between PB neutrophils and newly generated tissue cells: neutrophils ( R = 0.717) and macrophages ( R = 0.622), as well as the association between neutrophils and macrophages ( R = 0.798). This is an indication of chronic inflammation and increased transmigration of blood cells to the burned tissue.

CONCLUSION:

Blood neutrophils are the main producer of VEGF and stimulate the expression of the FLT-1 receptor. In the context of hyperglycemia the imbalance of receptor and ligand associated with angiogenesis indicates for chronic inflammation: VEGF and FLT-1, which facilitates hypoxia, prevents the physiological course of burn wound healing and may be an important factor in impaired tissue regeneration in diabetes.
Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Subjective Cognitive Complaints in a Diverse Primary Care Population
Authors: Rodríguez Danelly , Ayers Emmeline , Weiss Erica F. , Verghese Joe
Published: April 2021

Background: Very few studies have explored the utility of subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) in primary care settings. Objective: We aim to investigate associations between SCCs (item-level), objective cognitive function (across domains and global), and mood in a diverse primary care population, including subjects with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: We studied 199 (75.9%females; 57.8%Hispanics; 42.2%African Americans) older adults (mean age 72.5 years) with memory concerns at a primary care clinic. A five-item SCC questionnaire, and objective cognitive assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Geriatric Depression Scale, were administered. Results: Logistic regression analyses showed associations between SCC score and depressive symptoms. A memory-specific (“memory worsening”) SCC predicted scores on the MoCA (p = 0.005) in Hispanics. Conclusion: SCCs are strongly linked to depressive symptoms in African Americans and Hispanics in a primary care setting; a specific type of SCC is related to global cognitive function in Hispanics.

Published: April 2021

Background: Neuroinflammatory processes are common in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), but current knowledge is limited as to whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of neuroinflammatory proteins are altered in these diseases. Objective: To identify and characterize neuroinflammatory signatures in CSF from patients with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and FTD. Methods: We used proximity extension assay and ANOVA to measure and compare levels of 92 inflammatory proteins in CSF from 42 patients with AD, 29 with MCI due to AD (MCI/AD), 22 with stable MCI, 42 with FTD, and 49 control subjects, correcting for age, gender, collection unit, and multiple testing. Results: Levels of matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) were increased in AD, MCI/AD, and FTD compared with controls (AD: fold change [FC] = 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14–1.53, q = 0.018; MCI/AD: FC = 1.53, 95% CI 1.20–1.94, q = 0.045; and FTD: FC = 1.42, 95% CI 1.10–1.83, q = 0.020). MMP-10 and eleven additional proteins were increased in MCI/AD, compared with MCI (q < 0.05). In FTD, 36 proteins were decreased, while none was decreased in AD or MCI/AD, compared with controls (q < 0.05). Conclusion: In this cross-sectional multi-center study, we found distinct patterns of CSF inflammatory marker levels in FTD and in both early and established AD, suggesting differing neuroinflammatory processes in the two disorders.
Possible Role of Activin in the Adiponectin Paradox-Induced Progress of Alzheimer’s Disease

Published: April 2021

Accumulating evidence suggests that the adiponectin (APN) paradox might be involved in promoting aging-associated chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In human brain, APN regulation of the evolvability of amyloidogenic proteins (APs), including amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, in developmental/reproductive stages, might be paradoxically manifest as APN stimulation of AD through antagonistic pleiotropy in aging. The unique mechanisms underlying APN activity remain unclear, a better understanding of which might provide clues for AD therapy. In this paper, we discuss the possible relevance of activin, a member of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily of peptides, to antagonistic pleiotropy effects of APN. Notably, activin, a multiple regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as an endocrine modulator in reproduction and an organizer in early development, might promote aging-associated disorders, such as inflammation and cancer. Indeed, serum activin, but not serum TGFβ increases during aging. Also, activin/TGFβ signal through type II and type I receptors, both of which are transmembrane serine/threonine kinases, and the serine/threonine phosphorylation of APs, including Aβ42 serine 8 and αS serine 129, may confer pathological significance in neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, activin expression is induced by APN in monocytes and hepatocytes, suggesting that activin might be situated downstream of the APN paradox. Finally, a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies demonstrated that two SNPs relevant to the activin/TGFβ receptor signaling pathways conferred risk for major aging-associated disease. Collectively, activin might be involved in the APN paradox of AD and could be a significant therapeutic target.
Legal document recommendation system: A cluster based pairwise similarity computation
Authors: Dhanani Jenish , Mehta Rupa , Rana Dipti
Published: April 2021

Legal practitioners analyze relevant previous judgments to prepare favorable and advantageous arguments for an ongoing case. In Legal domain, recommender systems (RS) effectively identify and recommend referentially and/or semantically relevant judgments. Due to the availability of enormous amounts of judgments, RS needs to compute pairwise similarity scores for all unique judgment pairs in advance, aiming to minimize the recommendation response time. This practice introduces the scalability issue as the number of pairs to be computed increases quadratically with the number of judgments i.e., O (n2). However, there is a limited number of pairs consisting of strong relevance among the judgments. Therefore, it is insignificant to compute similarities for pairs consisting of trivial relevance between judgments. To address the scalability issue, this research proposes a graph clustering based novel Legal Document Recommendation System (LDRS) that forms clusters of referentially similar judgments and within those clusters find semantically relevant judgments. Hence, pairwise similarity scores are computed for each cluster to restrict search space within-cluster only instead of the entire corpus. Thus, the proposed LDRS severely reduces the number of similarity computations that enable large numbers of judgments to be handled. It exploits a highly scalable Louvain approach to cluster judgment citation network, and Doc2Vec to capture the semantic relevance among judgments within a cluster. The efficacy and efficiency of the proposed LDRS are evaluated and analyzed using the large real-life judgments of the Supreme Court of India. The experimental results demonstrate the encouraging performance of proposed LDRS in terms of Accuracy, F1-Scores, MCC Scores, and computational complexity, which validates the applicability for scalable recommender systems.

Authors: Jithendra K.B. , Kassim Shahana T.
Published: April 2021

Security of a recently proposed bitwise block cipher GIFT is evaluated in this paper. In order to mount full round attacks on the cipher, biclique cryptanalysis method is applied. Both variants of the block cipher are attacked using Independent biclique approach. For recovering the secret keys of GIFT-64, the proposed attack requires 2127.45 full GIFT-64 encryption and 28 chosen plain texts. For recovering the secret keys of GIFT-128, the proposed attack requires 2127.82 full GIFT-128 encryption and 218 chosen plain texts. The attack complexity is compared with that of other attacks proposed previously. The security level of GIFT is also compared with that of the parent block cipher PRESENT, based on the analysis.
Dual dimensional fuzzy testing based on upper confidence limits for supplier selection
Authors: Chen Kuen-Suan , Yu Chun-Min
Published: April 2021

Many corporations purchase components from suppliers, which can reduce operating costs and enable firms to focus their resources on core advantages. Studies have indicated that process quality and manufacturing time performance are two crucial indicators for supplier selection. We used the process quality index and a manufacturing time performance index to create a dual dimensional fuzzy supplier selection model. First, the upper confidence limits of these two indices were derived, and a fuzzy membership function based on these limits was constructed. Based on the fuzzy test rules for process quality and manufacturing time performance, we divided the fuzzy supplier selection matrix into nine evaluation zones. Using the upper confidence limits of these two indices, we created evaluation coordinates and assigned weights based on the location of the coordinates. Then, the total of all the weights was employed to form a supplier selection index for which a higher value means a higher ranking. The use of confidence limits decreased the chance of misjudgment resulting from sampling errors while the fuzzy test rules increased the applicability of the model. Consequently, the proposed model can be used to select suppliers efficiently so as to form partnerships in which corporations and suppliers can grow together.
System dynamics model of production-inventory-routing system in the green supply chain
Authors: Naderi Katayoun , Ahari Roya M. , Jouzdani Javid , Amindoust Atefeh
Published: April 2021

Fierce competition in the global markets forced companies to improve the design and management of supply chains, because companies are always looking for more profit and higher customer satisfaction. The emergence of the green supply chain is one of the most important developments of the last decade. It provides an opportunity for companies to adjust their supply chains according to environmental goals and sustainability. The integrated production-inventory-routing is a new field that aims to optimize these three decision-making levels. It can be described as follow: a factory produces one or more products, and sells them to several customers (by direct delivery or a specific customer chain). The current study aims to model a production-inventory-routing system using a system dynamics approach to design a green supply chain under uncertain conditions. For this purpose, first, the association between selected variables was determined. Then, the proposed model was validated. Finally, to identify variables with the highest influence, four scenarios were developed. The results indicated that minimum total transportation cost, the total warehouse capacity of the supply chain, and the maximum production rate are the most influential strategies to achieve ideal condition.
Vitamin D Level Stability in Dystrophinopathy Patients on Vitamin D Supplementation
Authors: Vather-Wu Naomi , Krasowski Matthew D. , Mathews Katherine D. , Shibli-Rahhal Amal
Published: April 2021

Background:

Expert guidelines recommend annual monitoring of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and maintaining 25-OHD ≥30 ng/ml in patients with dystrophinopathies.

Objective:

We hypothesized that 25-OHD remains stable and requires less frequent monitoring in patients taking stable maintenance doses of vitamin D.

Methods:

We performed a retrospective cohort study, using the electronic health record to identify 26 patients with dystrophinopathies with a baseline 25-OHD ≥30 ng/mL and at least one additional 25-OHD measurement. These patients had received a stable dose of vitamin D for ≥3 months prior to their baseline 25-OHD measurement and throughout follow-up. The main outcome measured was the mean duration time the subjects spent with a 25-OHD ≥30 ng/mL.

Results:

Only 19% of patients dropped their 25-OHD to < 30 ng/ml, with a mean time to drop of 33 months and a median nadir 25-OHD of 28 ng/mL.

Conclusions:

These results suggest that measurement of 25-OHD every 2–2.5 years may be sufficient in patients with a baseline 25-OHD ≥30 ng/mL and who are on a stable maintenance dose of vitamin D. Other patients may require more frequent assessments.

This article addresses problematic issues of circulation, classification, and expert study of weapons. Approaches to lawmaking are offered to regulate the circulation of weapons in the country taking into account an essential understanding of such a heritage of human civilization as a weapon. Criteria that might become a matrix in creating and improving weapons circulation legislation are considering and analysis of available legal and regulatory framework in the area of administrative and criminal laws ensuring this activity in Ukraine is conducted. Ukrainian Criminal Code statutes are analyzed in details which on one hand protect citizens from illegal attempts using weapons and on the other hand make it impossible for law-abiding citizens to realize provisions of the Ukrainian Constitution regarding the defense of their own life and health, life and health of others from illegal attempts which could happen if such norms will be violated. Ukrainian national legislation problematic aspects in the area of the circulation of objects with firearm features and consequences for the nation are researched. Based on the analysis of weapon circulation experience, ways of improving national legal acts that regulate the circulation of similar products in Ukraine are offered. The normative documents that regulate the order of circulation in Ukraine of products with the characteristics of firearms, which the manufacturer classifies as devices of household, sports and special purpose, are analyzed. The basic requirements for alarming and signaling weapons, as well as starting pistols and revolvers by national standards and methods of ballistic examination are considered. The problematic aspects of the Ukrainian national legislation in the sphere of circulation of firearms objects and their consequences for the state are investigated. On the basis of the analysis of the European experience in regulating the circulation of alarm and signal weapons, ways of improving the national legal acts regulating the circulation of similar products in Ukraine have been proposed.

Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih, Derevyanko Bogdan , Turkot Olha ,   Lviv National Agrarian University
Published: April 2021

The article analyzes the relations between various actors in agro-industrial production during the preparation, the execution of an attack by raiders, and after the attack, designed to collect and appropriate someone else’s harvest. The article aims to identify and provide a general description of raiders’ main actions during encroachments on the crop of agricultural producers. In Ukraine, raiders encroach on successful enterprises. Due to the quality and fertility of soils and natural and climatic conditions in the agricultural sector, conscientious producers can get a high yield. It is most often attacked by raiders during harvesting, using a set of actions. The article defines the main types of such actions: the seizure of a land plot with forged documents or without them; use of physical violence; involvement in their actions of unscrupulous notaries, state registrars, corrupt judges, and officials; the conclusion of lease agreements for shares or land plots with owners who have already leased them to another bona fide tenant; forgery of court decisions remaining in the temporarily occupied territories; registration of the right to lease land plots based on forged documents; appeal to the court with a claim to the enterprise for recovery of real or allegedly existing debt. These actions do not make up an exclusive list since the raiders are continually upgrading and diversifying the ways of encroaching on the harvest. The article briefly describes both the raiders’ actions and the practices to prevent raider attacks and protection after they have been committed. The innovations of the Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Countering Raiding» dated December 5, 2019 are also presented and analyzed, in particular in terms of introducing notarization of individual transactions; coordination of the moments of state registration of ownership of a land plot, the validity of a lease agreement and the time for harvesting; coordination of information from the State Land Cadastre and the State Register of Rights to Real Estate. The need to strengthen the fight against corruption is indicated by developing proposals to increase responsibility for corruption acts by representatives of public authorities. The article points to the future search for ways to counteract the actions described in the article and other raiders’ actions during the preparation and the attack to collect and appropriate someone else's harvest and after it.

The article outlines the existing types of liability for smuggling, describes the current state of damage caused by their presence in modern society. Reveals the author's assessment and position on the need to clarify the content of certain categories of the conceptual apparatus, which is devoted to the degree of responsibility for offenses that have the features of smuggling. The research contains the author's proposal to introduce into the Criminal Code of Ukraine the conceptual categories of «criminal liability for smuggling», includes a justification for this action. Attention is paid to the existing legislative initiatives on combating smuggling and corruption during customs clearance of goods, their content is revealed. The author's vision of improving the situation with the reduction of smuggling crimes on the basis of the proposed proposals is presented. The chosen direction of the research is relevant as it is aimed not only at outlining the key aspects of criminal liability for smuggling, but above all at developing certain measures to improve the situation at customs. From a scientific point of view, the study needs modernization in terms of clarifying the content of certain categories of the conceptual apparatus of the subject of study. The conclusions of the study are as follows. First, there is a fairly modernized legal framework in Ukraine, which discloses the degree of responsibility of persons who have committed a criminal or administrative offense related to smuggling. Secondly, the legislator clearly distinguished between the measures of criminal and administrative liability of persons who participated in smuggling operations, and it is important that the legislator defined the boundaries of the transition from administrative to criminal liability. Thirdly, the research indicated the expediency of clarifying the content of certain categories of the conceptual apparatus of the subject of study, namely the concepts of «criminal liability for smuggling» (a type of legal liability that gives rise to criminal relations between special authorities and persons who violated customs rules that have signs of smuggling in particularly large amounts, which is individualized in the conviction of the court) and «administrative liability for smuggling» (a type of legal liability that arises during administrative relations between legal entities in the field of violation of customs rules, which have signs of smuggling and are subject to administrative penalties by administrative jurisdiction). Fourth, the authors propose to include in the measures to reduce the level of smuggling: increase the material security of border guards and customs officers, equip «problem» areas of the border with a system of covert round-the-clock surveillance, observation and professionally trained staff, etc.

PRINCIPLES OF POLICE ACTIVITY: ESSENCE AND FEATURES
Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Mariupol, Nikolenko Liudmyla
Published: April 2021

This article is devoted to the study of the principles of the police of Ukraine. The principles of police activity defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are considered and analyzed, namely: the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms, legality, political neutrality, interaction with the population on the basis of partnership, continuity. It is noted that since Ukraine has announced a course for integration into the European Community and approximation of the Ukrainian legal system to European and world standards, the introduction of Ukrainian legislation and principles that have existed for some time in international law is one of the important steps towards this goal. It is proved that the definition of principles at the level of law indicates that they must be harmonized with existing social values, and the conceptual basis of the modern police paradigm should be the unconditional recognition of the primacy of human and civil rights and freedoms in public relations. on the basis of partnership should be considered as the main: first, to restore public respect for the police, secondly, the level of interaction affects the effectiveness of police functions, and thirdly, the level of trust can be concluded on the effectiveness of policing in general. The development and consolidation of ethical principles is important, which is justified by the peculiarities of policing. It is proposed to supplement the system of principles of police activity with the principles of tolerance and inadmissibility of discrimination. The police must respect and protect human rights and freedoms regardless of race, language, skin color, gender, age and other beliefs and characteristics. In order to improve the activities of the police, amendments to the list of principles defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are proposed.

Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the legislative regulation of the search for missing persons. Since the central place among the law enforcement agencies that search for this category of persons is occupied by units of the National Police, the authors pay attention to the laws that guide police officers in their activities. The scientific description of the laws in the context of search work is carried out taking into account the practical experience of the authors. Emphasis is placed on the processes that create preconditions for the disappearance of people in Ukraine: the economic crisis, the armed conflict in the East, the mass exodus of citizens abroad, quarantine restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, impoverishment of some segments of the population and high general criminalization of Ukrainian society. It is noted that these circumstances are reflected in the legislation and affect the activities of the National Police of Ukraine. The effect of some laws in various situations of disappearance is described. Examples from practice are given. The paper focuses on optimizing the work of the National Police in this area, because the timely introduction of changes and additions to existing legislation and the adoption of new regulations ensure compliance with the human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of Ukraine. It was found that the legal qualification of the fact of missing person under a particularly serious article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine has a positive effect on the search work. An analysis of the Law on the National Police revealed that some categories of vulnerable people (elderly people who were helpless) were left out of the legislator's attention. According to the practical experience of one of the authors, these individuals are often victims of accidents and need police care. The effect of some laws in various situations of disappearance is described. Examples from practice are given. Ways to optimize work in this area are proposed.
