Evaluation of the Groundnut Improvement Network for Africa Core Collection for Resistance to Groundnut Rosette and Late Leaf Spot Diseases
Authors: Achola E. , Wasswa P. , Odeny D.A. , Hoisington D.A. , Okello D.K.
Published: April 2024

Groundnut Rosette Disease (GRD) and Late Leaf Spot (LLS) are two of the most important diseases across Africa. GRD results in up to 100% and LLS up to 50% yield losses in susceptible varieties. Co-occurrence of the two diseases, which often happens, is thus detrimental for the farmer. The use of resistant varieties remains the best approach to manage these diseases. Breeding for both diseases has resulted in resistance varieties but with limited knowledge on the diversity of varieties developed. The aim of this work was to utilize the Groundnut Improvement Network for Africa (GINA) core collection which is of known diversity to identify lines with sources of resistance to both GRD and LLS. The collection was evaluated across three seasons at Nakabango and Serere, two known GRD and LLS hotspots in Uganda. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences among genotypes for both LLS and GRD at different stages of the plant growth. Several lines were identified with moderate to good resistance to GRD, LLS or both GRD and LLS. Fifteen of the lines demonstrated good resistance to both diseases across the three seasons in Nakabango. These lines can be utilized as parents for improving populations for resistance across breeding programs in Africa.
Fifty Years of Second Language Acquisition Research: Critical Commentary and Proposal
Authors: Alsaedi Naif
Published: April 2024

Introduction. The article evaluates contemporary research on psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics to find answers related to why child first language (L1) acquisition relies on different processing methods compared to adult second language (L2) acquisition, and why an L2 can be complex for adults to learn. This paper is basically a critical appraisal of language acquisition (LA) research proposing new venues to explore.

Aims. The primary goals of this article are to emphasize the need for treating the brain as a testable scientific hypothesis, rather than merely a philosophical theory and to illustrate the need to integrate L2, brain, mind and the learner at every moment to account for LA.

Method and Results. To achieve these intriguing goals, previous research on psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics is critically reviewed. The review has shown that that the brain in SLA research has been treated simply as a philosophical theory. This, in my view, has serious impacts on the progress and development of the field in two ways:

It causes the research to be held back by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas and act against open-minded thinking.

It leads researchers to depend solely on learners’ performances (the actual use of language) to describe and explain the nature of the linguistic systems that L2 learners develop (competence) and to explain how an L2 is acquired. However, we all know that performance is not on all occasions a perfect reflection of competence (cf. Chomsky, 1965, 1988)

These two points emphasize the need for treating the brain as a testable scientific hypothesis rather than merely a philosophical theory and exemplify the necessity of continuously integrating second language (L2), brain, mind, and the learner at every moment to explain both why learning occurs and why it fails to occur.

Conclusions. The paper offers a critical appraisal of previous research into psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. It argues that the brain in second language acquisition (SLA/L2A) research has been treated merely as a philosophical theory for a long time, resulting in findings that lack actual neurolinguistic analysis. The paper suggests that theoretical explanations for why children acquire L1 faster and more easily than adults acquiring L2 align with recent testing of the brain, revealing differences in brain activity waves between early and middle childhood compared to adulthood. This indicates distinctions in language acquisition between children and adults in terms of brain wave activity, size of grey matter, and other factors.

The problem of developing a new generalized strength (plasticity)condition is applied to soils of anisotropic, in particular a transversal - isotropic (trans - structural) structure. This condition is derived by generalizing the known Coulomb - Moore plasticity condition σc for two directions: along the layers parallel and crosswise to layers, that is, for the perpendicular directions to the layers, relative to the isotropy plane for the transtropic soil, systematized for the first time by A.K. Bugrov and A.I. Golubev. It is proposed to analyze the possibility of generalizing the conditions of plasticity (strength) in the principal stresses σ1 and σ2, as well as on the values of the critical principal stress σ1c and σ2c, proposed and developed in due time for soils of the isotropic structure N.A. Tsytovich and N.S. Bulychev. Following the approach of W. Witke, who proposed to apply such a criterion to rocks of an orthotropic structure, the formulated criterion is proposed, which allows to determine the moment of the onset of plastic destruction of anisotropic soil and the direction of its further spread from the initial point. The table contains critical values of anisotropic soil in two orthogonal directions of the coordinate axes, calculated with the help of the proposed new criterion, which allows us to solve a new class of problems of fracture mechanics.
LANGUAGE STEREOTYPES OF THE SOCIAL DIMENSION OF WAR
Authors: Semashko T , Hruschinska V
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the interest in stereotypes of public consciousness, dictated by the real situation - the military invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine.

The analysis of the social stereotype, in particular, of the war era, as a phenomenon of social reality, the mechanisms of launching a stable connection between the perception of objects and the corresponding repeated behavior, is a necessity and one of the important real ways to reduce unpredictable social risks and conflicts. The goal of intelligence is to reveal, reveal the essence, functions and properties of wartime social stereotypes, determine their role in the structure of the modern communicative space.

Research methodology. The research is based on the materials of media texts provided in open Internet sources. The work uses a complex and systematic combination of general scientific and special (linguistic) research methods based on the basic principles of anthropocentrism, which affirms the key role of the human factor in the process of learning about the world.

Research results and their discussion. The study of social stereotypes of the war period is aimed at describing the mechanisms of their categorization and evaluation, with a focus on the cultural environment that collectively forms the conditions for their occurrence. We will interpret the social stereotype as a conscious linguistic and cognitive phenomenon, which is a means of fixing and reproducing the categorically conditioned linguistic experience of the bearer of ethnic consciousness, which ensures the systematic ordering of the world in the mind of the individual. The functioning of stereotypes characterizing certain aspects of social reality make it possible to quickly and sufficiently reliably categorize various aspects of social life, which proves the high productivity of the semantic derivation of social stereotypes today.

The main channels for the creation and spread of social stereotypes of the wartime era are media discourse: social networks, mass communication media, online publications, etc. not only fully reproduce the processes of stereotyping, but also testify to the reflection of Ukrainians’ ideas about norms, reproducing the complex world of the historical passage of human perception through the experience of reality, material and spiritual life of the Ukrainian ethnic group.

The analysis of factual material convincingly proves that the most productive way of creating social stereotypes of the war period in mass media discourse is a metaphor – a figurative form of rationality that reflects the results of the world of conceptualization, categorization and evaluation.
STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF TWO-WAY TRANSLATION OF COMPLEX AGRICULTURAL TERMS
Authors: Kachmarchyk S
Published: April 2024

This research delves into the structural intricacies of complex agricultural terms in Ukrainian and English, scrutinizing linguistic nuances, cultural connotations, and technical dimensions. Complex terms, examined in terms of their morphological variations and syntactic differences, were identified as key challenges in bilateral translation. Cultural specificity and regional variations in Ukrainian terms added layers of complexity. The findings underscore the significance of understanding the structural features for accurate translation in the agricultural domain, emphasizing the interplay of linguistic precision, cultural sensitivity, and technical expertise. Translation examples highlight variations and propose context-aware solutions, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach. These examples reveal challenges in conveying the holistic nature of Ukrainian terms in English, emphasizing the need for context-specific solutions. Recommendations for translators include creating glossaries, collaborating with experts since the translation is not a solitary activity. It involves communication and interaction with other translators, clients, agronomists, reviewers, and experts. Also, it is extremely significant to utilize translation technologies and tools wisely. Looking into the future, areas of further research include the study of translation technologies impact on agricultural translation, consideration of regional variations, the dynamic nature of agricultural language, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This research contributes to the evolving landscape of agricultural translation, providing insights into complexities and offering practical guidance for translators.

Gaff disease (paroxysmal-toxic alimentary myoglobinuria, Yuksovsky or Sartlan disease) is a foodborne toxicosis. Occurs in predatory fish, carnivorous animals and birds, in humans. The aim of the work was to study the changes in the internal organs of white mice eating offal of fish from Andreevsky and Ishmenevsky lakes during an outbreak of Gaff disease, performed in the laboratories of the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals. The liver, kidneys, stomach and duodenum of white mice eating fish from the unfavorable lakes Andreevsky and Ishmenevsky during the outbreak of Guff disease, as well as the control group, were selected for morphological and histological studies. The material was selected for anatomical, morphological and histological studies. As a result of the research, it was found that in white mice with pronounced signs of Gaff disease (eating offal of fish from Lake Ishmenevsky and Lake Andreevsky), with a standard bioassay, pathoanatomical changes include: 1. catarrhal inflammation of the stomach, degenerative changes in the glandular part of the stomach, enteritis; 2. acute congestive hyperemia of the liver, a decrease in its relative mass, areas of necrosis and necrobiosis, protein degeneration, small foci of hemorrhages in the parenchyma, swelling and expansion of Disse spaces; 3. necrotizing nephrosis, glomerular atrophy and swelling of epitheliocytes, and in 20 % of cases, lymphocytic infiltration of the parenchyma and granular degeneration. All these changes indicate the hepato- and nephrotoxic properties of the toxin, as well as a decrease in the barrier properties of the gastrointestinal tract, which further opens the gate for the active development of opportunistic microflora.

Triploid aspen (Populus tremula L.) is a valuable woody species. Triploid aspen is a valuable tree species. Unlike diploid forms of aspen, it is not subject to core rot, has rapid growth and forms a large phytomass. Plantation cultivation of triploid aspen is important for enriching the gene pool of the main forestforming tree species in the Republic of Bashkortostan and obtaining high-quality wood raw materials. Valuable properties and qualities of tree species are most fully transmitted in the offspring during their vegetative cultivation, especially during microclonal reproduction. The article presents methodological aspects of rooting aspen triploid on artificial nutrient media. The methodology has been worked out and the optimal composition of the nutrient medium for rooting micro-plants of aspen triploid under in vitro conditions has been developed.

“Rochester report” as a basis for debates on women’s episcopate in the Church of England in the XXI century
Authors: Кокош Артемий
Published: April 2024

Один из самых дискутируемых вопросов в Англиканской церкви, начиная со второй половины XX века, — это проблема женского священства. Церковь Англии показала себя как одна из наиболее консервативных англиканских церквей, в которой дискуссии о женском священстве носили наиболее длительный и ожесточенный характер. В настоящей статье рассматривается дискуссия о женском епископате в Церкви Англии, которая началась в начале XXI века и завершилась признанием женского епископата в 2014 году. При этом особое внимание в статье обращается на деятельность рабочей группы под председательством епископа Рочестера Майла Назира-Али и представленный в 2004 году 300-страничный «отчет Рочестера», в котором суммируются все основные соображения по вопросу женского епископата в Церкви Англии. В статье представлен ход обсуждения «отчета Рочестера» на Генеральном синоде Церкви Англии, а также последствия решения об устранении юридических препятствий для рукоположения женщин в сан епископа.

One of the hottest issues in the Anglican Church since the second half of the 20th century has been the problem of women’s priesthood. The Church of England has been one of the most conservative Anglican churches, hence the discussions on women’s priesthood in the Church of England were quite intense and lengthy. This article examines the disputes on women's episcopate in the Church of England in the 21st century. The article focuses on the activity of the working group chaired by Bishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali and on the 300-page “Rochester Report” presented in 2004, which summarizes key considerations on women's episcopate in the Church of England. The article presents the relevant discussions at the General Synod of the Church of England, as well as the consequences of the decision to remove legal obstacles to the ordination of women to the episcopate.

Published: April 2024

В настоящей статье рассматриваются канонические нормы, определяющие статус священнослужителей. В русской канонической науке под статусом обычно понимались те преимущества, которые сообщались носителям духовного звания в силу их хиротонии. Проанализированы канонические основания свободы от личных и некоторых имущественных повинностей (privilegium immunitatis) и привилегия чести (privilegium honoris).

This article discusses the canonical norms that determine the status of clergy. In Russian canonical science, status was usually understood as the advantages that were communicated to holders of the clergy by virtue of their consecration. The canonical grounds of freedom from personal and some property duties (privilege immunitatis) and privilege of honor (privilege honoris) are analyzed.
Pastoral work of St. Filaret of Moscow (Drozdov) during the cholera epidemic of 1830
Authors: Королёв Роман Султанович
Published: April 2024

В 1830 году Российская Империя столкнулась с масштабной эпидемией холеры. За краткий период болезнь распространилась практически по всем губерниям страны и достигла Москвы. Несмотря на то, что были введены строгие противоэпидемические меры и установлен повсеместный карантин, ежедневно гибли сотни людей. Это непростое время выпало на долю святителя Филарета (Дроздова), митрополита Московского и Коломенского, который проявил себя не только как самоотверженный пастырь и воодушевляющий проповедник, но и грамотный организатор и советник в делах государственных. В статье рассматривается пастырская деятельность святителя Филарета (Дроздова) на Московской кафедре во время эпидемии холеры 1830 г.

In 1830, the Russian Empire faced a large-scale cholera epidemic. In a short period, the disease spread to almost all provinces of the country and reached Moscow. Despite the fact that strict anti-epidemic measures were introduced and the country was covered by a network of quarantines, hundreds of people died every day. This difficult time fell to the lot of St. Filaret (Drozdov), Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna, who proved himself as not only a selfless pastor and inspiring preacher, but also a competent organizer and adviser in state affairs. The article examines the pastoral activity of St. Filaret (Drozdov) at the Moscow Department during the cholera epidemic of 1830.
Application of the regulations of the Holy Apostles in the modern practice of priest ordering in the Russian Orthodox Church
Authors: Шабалов Георгий
Published: April 2024

Одной из важнейших сторон церковной жизни является совершение Таинств Церкви. Среди них совершение Таинства священства, в котором через архиерейское рукоположение поставляемому дается от Бога власть служить и совершать различные церковные чины. Таинство называется так же поставлением, что в переводе с церковнославянского языка означает рукоположение. Хиротония считается важнейшим актом поставления на священную степень, которое берет свое начало от святых апостолов. Настоящая работа посвящена исследованиям канонических правил, касающиеся поставления во пресвитера в современной практике Русской Православной Церкви. Пресвитерская хиротония непрерывно совершается на протяжении почти 2000 лет, и берет свое начало от апостольского века. Исторически содержание чинопоследования хиротонии и канонических условий видоизменялись, но по своей сути оставались прежними. Проблема использования канонических правил в настоящее время не является новой темой. Уже более ста лет с особой интенсивностью в церковной среде обсуждается тема о применении правил в современной практике. Применение правил канонического корпуса в практике Русской Православной Церкви требуют детального рассмотрения.

One of the most important aspects of church life is the celebration of the Sacraments of the Church. Among them is the celebration of the Sacrament of the Priesthood, in which, through the laying on of bishops, the ordained person is given from God the power to serve and perform various church rites. The sacrament is also called ordination, which in translation from the Church Slavonic language means ordination. Consecration is considered the most important act of placing on a sacred degree, which originates from the holy apostles. This work is devoted to the study of the canonical rules regarding the appointment to the presbyter in the modern practice of the Russian Orthodox Church. Presbyterian consecration has been continuously performed for almost 2000 years, and originates from the apostolic age. Historically, the content of the rites of consecration and canonical conditions have changed, but in essence remained the same. The problem of using canonical rules is not currently a new topic. For more than a hundred years, the theme of the application of the rules in modern practice has been discussed with particular intensity in the church environment. The application of the rules of the canonical corpus in the practice of the Russian Orthodox Church requires detailed consideration.

Experimental Investigations on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Bamboo Composites
Authors: K J Anand , Ekbote Thippeswamy
Published: April 2024

The present study aims to develop a novel hybrid composite by incorporating clamshell as a secondary reinforcing filler into a bamboo-epoxy composite. The primary objective of this hybridization is to optimize the synergistic benefits of each component, harnessing the strength of bamboo fibres, the durability of epoxy, and the cost-effective repurposing of the waste clamshell. Compression moulding was employed to develop composites with varying filler content (0- 9 wt%). The effect of filler on the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo-epoxy composites was evaluated by conducting tests as per ASTM standards. Experimental results show that the addition of clamshell filler significantly improved composites' properties, but there was a limitation to the addition. Hardness, tensile, and flexural properties were increased, whereas impact strength was reduced. Composites with 6 wt% clamshell exhibited optimum properties, enhancing tensile strength by 20.5% and flexural strength by 24.4 % compared to composites without filler. SEM analysis of fractured tensile and bending specimens revealed an enhanced fibre-matrix bonding with the inclusion of filler and supported the experimental results obtained. The outcome of this study contributes to sustainable development by using natural resources like bamboo fibre and repurposing seashell waste to create cost-effective composite material with enhanced properties.

Symptomatology, pathophysiology and treatment perspectives of "long COVID" syndrome
Authors: Dobrek Łukasz
Published: April 2024

STRESZCZENIE
Rok 2020 zapisał się w historii pandemią infekcji wirusa SARS-CoV-2. Relatywnie szybkie wprowadzenie szczepień oraz leków przeciwwirusowych (np. podawane doustnie molnupirawir, nirmatrelwir/rytonawir) pozwoliło po ponad 2 latach opanować globalny charakter COVID-19. Obecnie, uwagę zwracają także przewlekłe konsekwencje przebycia infekcji SARS-CoV-2 obserwowane u ozdrowieńców, określane mianem zespołu pocovidowego i powszechnie znane pod anglojęzycznym terminem „long COVID”. Szacunki wskazują, iż long COVID rozwija się u ponad połowy chorych po przebyciu ostrej fazy infekcji, zwłaszcza u chorych hospitalizowanych, z ciężką postacią COVID-19, z dysfunkcją mechanizmów immunologicznych w przebiegu nowotworów lub AIDS oraz z obciążającymi schorzeniami współistniejącymi, jak: astma, cukrzyca typu 2, nadciśnienie tętnicze, otyłość, depresja i zaburzenia lękowe oraz niedoczynność tarczycy. Long COVID manifestuje się wielorakimi objawami ze strony praktycznie wszystkich układów ustroju, a najczęściej obserwowanymi u dorosłych pacjentów są: przewlekłe zmęczenie, bóle głowy, zaburzenia uwagi i koncentracji („mgła mózgowa”), wypadanie włosów i duszność. Patofizjologia long COVID jest kompleksowa i zgodnie z licznymi teoriami, objawy rozwijają się w wyniku: przetrwania SARS-CoV-2 w tkankach obwodowych po ostrej fazie infekcji (co podtrzymuje przewlekły stan zapalny), uaktywnienia latentnych dotąd innych infekcji wirusowych, powikłań zakrzepowo-zatorowych rozwijających się w mikrokrążeniu licznych łożysk naczyniowych, dysbiozy układu pokarmowego i dróg oddechowych oraz zaburzeń układu autonomicznego. Obecnie stosowane szczepionki, zmniejszając ryzyko ciężkiego przebiegu COVID-19, pośrednio zmniejszają zarazem ryzyko rozwoju zespołu long COVID. Trwają również badania kliniczne oceniające przydatność różnych, dotychczas rutynowo stosowanych leków (sulodeksyd, pirfenidon, wortioksetyna, famprydyna, gabapentyna, iwabradyna, beta adrenolityki, statyny, doustne leki przeciwzakrzepowe, leki antyleukotrienowe i glikokortykosterydy, iwermektyna) oraz składników zwykle występujących w suplementach diety (koenzym Q10, witaminy, kwasy tłuszczowe omega-3, probiotyki, genisteina, laktoferyna) w farmakoterapii long COVID. Wobec wciąż niepełnego opisu patofizjologicznego i możliwości pełnego leczenia long COVID wymagane są kolejne badania poszerzające wiedzę w tym zakresie.

METHOD: In February 2023, literature searches were conducted across electronic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Web of Science and Google Scholar), pre-publication websites (MedRxiv and PsyArXiv) and grey literature websites. Qualitative and quantitative studies were included if they explored the impact of online support groups on the health and wellbeing outcomes of individuals with a chronic condition.

RESULTS: In total 83 papers, with 91 studies, met the inclusion criteria. Health and wellbeing outcomes were categorised as: physical health, mental health, quality of life, social wellbeing, health-related behaviour and decision-making, and adjustment. Mechanisms reported in these studies related to exchanging support, sharing experiences, content expression, and social comparison. User and group characteristics were also explored.

CONCLUSION: The included studies suggest that online support groups can have a positive impact on social wellbeing, behaviour, and adjustment, with inconclusive findings for physical health and quality of life. However, there is also the possibility for a negative effect on anxiety and distress, particularly when hearing other group members’ difficult experiences. Research comparing different types of support groups is needed.

Purpose - This study examined the relationship between local attachment, prior knowledge and involvement in the festival, and local image, attitudes toward and support for the festival among people who have visited the Incheon Pentaport Music Festival, the largest music festival in Korea. Design/methodology/approach - A total of 250 samples were used for the final analysis, and SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 21.0 were used to analyze the data. The structural equation model analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses of this study. Findings - As a result of the analysis, first, only local attachment was found to have a positive and significant effect on local image. On the other hand, prior knowledge or involvement in the Incheon Pentaport Music Festival was found to be unrelated to local image. Second, local attachment and involvement were found to have a significant effect on attitude, but prior knowledge was not significant. Last, this paper examined the influence of festival area image and attitude toward the festival on festival support, and found that both have a positive and significant effect on support. Research implications or Originality - This study expands the scope of research on music festivals and is expected to contribute to tourist attraction and marketing strategies for the revitalization of music festivals in the future.

Published: April 2024

Purpose - Focusing on the FGI research method, the current status and issues of barrier-free tourism in Gangwon State were identified, and specific activation plans were derived Design/methodology/approach - This study conducted in-depth interviews with 20 experts related to the tourism industry. The issues, current status, and activation plan of barrier-free tourism in Gangwon State recognized by experts in tourism policy, tourism administration, tourism management, and tourism service industry were derived. Findings - First, the tendency of businesses to be promoted based on the non-disabled by not recognizing the weak as the main tourism demand group, second, confusion caused by the unification of terms related to barrier-free tourism, third, lack of finding tourism constraints subdivided according to the type and degree of disability, fourth, tourism information and evaluation indicators provided by prioritizing the convenience of suppliers rather than consumers, and fifth, the nature of the project focused on improving access to physical infrastructure. Subsequently, the results of the analysis of the plan to revitalize the barrier-free tourism industry in Gangwon State were as follows. First, education and programs to improve disability awareness appropriate to local conditions were activated, second, related information was unified and project sustainability was improved by creating a control tower for the barrier-free tourism industry at the provincial level, third, to overcome the employment crisis based on finding locally tailored jobs related to tourism care professionals, and fourth, to continuously secure quantitative and qualitative data and establish utilization plans. Research implications or Originality - First, it presents theoretical implications for related fields by providing issues and activation measures related to barrier-free tourism from the perspective of experts who are still lacking in research in academia. The practical implications are that based on the opinions of experts working in the tourism field, more specific issues of the barrier-free tourism industry in the province were presented, and policy and practical solutions were presented accordingly, suggesting realistic alternatives that can be carried out in the actual field.
Human Activities Recognition Using Machine Learning and Artificial Initialization
Authors: Vishva Gandhi
Published: April 2024

Human Activity Recognition (HAR)is an important challenge for applications in various areas such as healthcare, smart environments, and surveillance. In this paper, we propose a machine learning and artificial intelligence-based approach for HAR using wearable sensor data. The proliferation of wearable devices has made it possible to collect a wide range of sensor data, including accelerometer and gyroscope readings, providing valuable insights into human activity. Our proposed approach uses machine learning algorithms, including support vector machines (SVMs), random forests, and artificial neural networks (ANNs), to classify human activities based on sensor data. We explore feature extraction methods that transform raw sensor readings into meaningful representations including time- and frequency-domain features. We also explore the effectiveness of feature selection methods to identify the most discriminatory features for activity recognition. We also use deeplearning techniques suchas Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to automatically learn hierarchical representations from sensor for HAR.We are developing a deeplearning architecture tailored to sequential sensor data that captures both the spatial and temporal dependencies inherent in human activity. We evaluate the proposed approach on publicly available datasets covering a variety of human activities, including walking, running, sitting, standing, and other common daily activities. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in accurately recognizing human activities, outperforming baseline approaches, and achieving state-of-the-art performance on HAR tasks. We also compare and analyses various machine learning and deep learning models to review the pros and cons of HAR applications. We also discuss practical considerations such as computational complexity, scalability, and real-time performance, highlighting challenges and opportunities for future research.
Universality of human rights: general theoretical characteristics
Authors: Kholod Yu. A.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the general theoretical characteristics of universal human rights. It is noted that human rights are an integral part of human dignity, they define the essence of humanity, and represent the limits of state power in relation to the individual. It is emphasised that today there is no single approach to substantiating the theory of human rights.

The article emphasises that every person is endowed with universal, inalienable and inalienable rights, which are called human rights. It is established that the universality of human rights is clearly enshrined and recognised in numerous international legislative acts. The author emphasises that the universal nature of human rights and freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is beyond doubt. A number of approaches to the understanding of human rights are investigated. It is determined that the universality and full observance of human rights is an ongoing process that requires constant attention and global cooperation.

It is noted that human rights are an integral part of human dignity; they are the fundamental principles which define the essence of humanity and apply to every individual. These rights are conditioned by the universal principles of justice and dignity, which must be protected and guaranteed by the State.

The author establishes that universal rights are inalienable, since a person cannot be deprived of them without violating the basic principles of justice. These rights create the limits of state power, emphasising that the state must protect and respect the rights of every individual. In essence, human rights cover a wide range of aspects, such as the right to life, liberty and security of the person, freedom of thought and expression, the right to education, work and an adequate standard of living. These rights are the basis for the development of a just and humane society. It is noted that human rights are universal and inalienable in any cultural or geographical context. Ensuring their respect and observance is the responsibility of both the individual state and the international community. Violations of human rights not only violate the basic principles of justice, but can also lead to serious social and political consequences.
Abuse of parental rights: general characteristics, forms, and types
Authors: Yushkevych O. G.
Published: April 2024

The article is dedicated to the author’s perspective on the scientific and legislative resolution of the issue of abuse of parental rights. Special attention is given to the exploration of scientific approaches, national legislation, and judicial practice regarding the definition and use of the term “abuse of parental rights”.

The main viewpoints of scholars on the definition of the concept of “abuse of parental rights” are examined. The conclusion is drawn that each scholar reveals the legal nature and characteristics of this legal phenomenon from a specific angle.

It is noted that Ukrainian legislation lacks the definition of “abuse of parental rights”, a clear list of parental rights, and the responsibility of parents for causing harm to the child while exercising their rights.

The author formulates their own definition of “abuse of parental rights” as the use of parental rights for a selfish purpose to the detriment of the child.

Considering the diversity of opinions on the forms and types of abuse of parental rights, a classification is proposed based on criteria such as the list of parental rights in legislation, the content of family relations, and the form of the family.

In order to protect the rights and interests of children from the abuse of parental rights, the author suggests enshrining in the Family Code of Ukraine, as well as establishing corresponding sanctions for such unlawful behavior. Depending on the nature and consequences of such behavior for the child, the author proposes to determine the level of responsibility.

Concrete proposals for amending current legislation are developed. Specifically, changes are suggested to Ukrainian legislative acts such as the Family Code of Ukraine, the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, and the Criminal Code of Ukraine to establish legal responsibility for parental abuse of rights.
