Authors: Indelicato Alyssa M. , Shaw Jana , Blatt Steven D. , Stewart Telisa M. , Morley Christopher P.
Published: October 2024

Introduction: A level of hesitancy existed among parents when United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pediatric COVID-19 vaccines were introduced. We explored attitudes, beliefs, and willingness of health care personnel (HCP) as parents to vaccinate children less than 18 years of age.
Methods: We developed a cross-sectional survey for HCPs as parents, including clinical and nonclinical staff, researchers, and trainees at a single academic medical institution. We assessed role categories by vaccination status, willingness to vaccinate their children, and COVID-19 history. We analyzed data via cross tabulation and Pearson correlation to examine relationships across variables.
Results: There were a total of 1,538 research respondents. Nurses had a higher COVID-19 history compared to other roles (29.2%, P<.001). Vaccinated nurses were more likely to vaccinate their children (64.6%, P<.001). There was a significant negative correlation between self-identification as a nurse and willingness to vaccinate themselves (r=-.157, P<.001) or any child (r=-.150, P<.001), and a significant positive correlation among nurses having any COVID-19 history (r=.118, P<.001). Having a positive COVID-19 history was negatively correlated with personal vaccine status (r=-.217, P<.001) and intent to vaccinate any child (r=-.252, P<.001). While 77.8% (n=123) of all nurses with children were vaccinated willingly, 65.8% (n=104) had at least one child vaccinated; 81.3% of willingly vaccinated nurses (n=100) vaccinated at least one child, vs 11.4% (n=4) of nurses who mandated or were unvaccinated themselves.
Conclusions: Nurses were more hesitant to vaccinate themselves than other roles, had higher rates of COVID-19 history, and were more hesitant to vaccinate their children if they were unvaccinated.

Published: October 2024

The production and consumption of fruit brandy (rakija) in Bosnia and
Herzegovina has a long tradition. The imperative of every brandy producer is
to have a quality product that is appealing to the consumer. The aim of our
work was to examine the content of C8-C22 fatty acid esters in three samples
of domestic fruit brandy (labeled Sample I, II and III). Samples I and II
were made from pear, while sample III was from plum. After liquid-liquid
extraction, using the solvent system hexane and diethyl ether (1:1),
analysis of fatty acid esters was performed using the GC/MS method (gas
chromatography with a mass detector). In Sample I and Sample II, eleven
C8-C22 fatty acids esters were detected, while in Sample III, eight esters
were detected. In Sample I and Sample II, the following fatty acid esters
have been identified: Ethyl benzoate, Ethyl octanoate, Ethyl nonanoate,
Ethyl decanoate, Ethyl undecanoate, Ethyl dodecanoate, Ethyl tridecanoate,
Ethyl tetradecanoate, Ethyl pentadecanoate, Ethyl hexadecanoate, Ethyl
eicosanoate. In Sample III the following fatty acid esters have been
identified: Ethyl hexanoate, Ethyl benzoate, Ethyl octanoate, Ethyl
nonanoate, Ethyl decanoate, Ethyl undecanoate, Ethyl dodecanoate, Ethyl
tridecanoate. In all three Samples Ethyl decanoate and Ethyl undecanoate had
the highest percentage, which reached up to 11% of the total percentage of
detected compounds. As our results show, the developed methodology is
effective for the identification of C8-C22 fatty acid esters in fruit
brandies, and its further development is needed to be a tool for the quality
determination of fruit brandies.

Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug of quinolone group, used in clinical settings to treat malaria. Lately, there has been interest in its potential efficacy against coronavirus, with several proposed mechanisms. It has been demonstrated to limit the replication of sars-cov-2 virus in vitro but clinical trials found ineffective for this purpose and a possible risk being that dangerous side effects may arise. So, this study is designed to give a light on its possible side effects on smooth muscle movement, gut bacterial composition. Methods: Ten male eight weeks old albino rats were obtained and randomly divided into two groups control and treated with five animals each. Rats of treated group received HCQ 33mg/kg/day for six consecutive days and after that faecal parameters, smooth muscle contractility test, total bacterial colony count were estimated from both groups. Results: From the analysis we found decreased faecal count and increased faecal water content of the treated rats than in control. Colonic and Gastro-intestinal transit time was significantly increased in the treated rats and abnormalities were seen in small intestinal muscle contractility. Faecal and small intestinal total bacterial count was significantly lowered in HCQ-treated rats. Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that HCQ might be related to adverse consequences on normal gut movements and its bacterial community. In addition, we can conclude that HCQ might induce decreased intestinal motility led to the resulting detrimental effects on normal gut bacterial composition.

Published: October 2024

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare, specifically for managing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), offers transformative potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatment, and improve patient outcomes. This review explores the application of various AI programs in ASD management, discussing their functionalities, ethical considerations, implementation challenges, and the need for comprehensive regulatory frameworks. Critical AI applications such as AI-driven diagnostic imaging, predictive analytics, assisted therapy robots, remote monitoring, treatment personalization, decision support systems, and therapeutic chatbots are examined. Each technology is analyzed for its ability to improve the quality of life for individuals with ASD by offering more personalized, efficient, and effective care and support. Ethical issues, particularly concerning data bias and privacy, are highlighted as significant challenges that need addressing to maximize AI’s benefits while minimizing risks. Practical hurdles like integration with existing healthcare systems, the need for scalable solutions across diverse geographic and socio-economic contexts, and the high costs associated with AI development are also discussed. Furthermore, the review underscores the necessity for robust regulatory policies that ensure patient safety, protect data privacy and maintain high ethical standards in AI deployment. The paper concludes that while AI presents substantial opportunities for advancing ASD management, achieving these benefits requires a concerted effort from technologists, clinicians, ethicists, and policymakers to develop AI tools that are not only innovative but also ethical, equitable, and universally beneficial.

An agreement on a wage payment system that  is undertaken by musta’jīr in cash with payment when the rice fields are plowed after being plowed. However, in practice, many parties  must not pay directly the wages that must be musta’jīr. This happened due to the inability of musta’jīr caused by the transfer of capital for planting and maintenance costs.  Delay in paying wages raises injustice and losses for one party. In fact, the ijarāh  contract contains the principle of justice by avoiding the element of loss for one of the parties. So this research is important to be carried out, with this research it is hoped that it will be able to bring benefits, not only to one party but to all parties involved in the contract. This research is a field research that directly seeks information from the public. By conducting observations, interviews and documentation. The primary data source used is in the form of informants who have made rental transactions at rice plow services in Pakikiran Village, namely from service providers, tractor owners and farmers. The results of this study show that the practice of  renting rice plow services that occurs in Pakikiran Village has occurred since the 90s. In responding to the delay in wage payment, the people of Pakikiran Village refer to the principle of helping each other. Because even though there are parties who are harmed, on the other hand there are parties who must be helped because of their inability to pay the wages directly, because the payment of wages for rice plow services is diverted to planting costs to avoid damage in the form of crop failure and also crop failure. It has become a habit of the local community so that economic activities always bring benefits. Based on the study of existing Islamic law, even though there are delays in the wage payment system. However, the delay is forgiven because it is a good community custom and does not contradict Islamic law.
Tracing the impact of global value chain participation on CO2 emissions under the tech-nology gap heterogeneity: Evidence from emerging and developing countries
Authors: Doryń Wirginia , Wawrzyniak Dorota
Published: October 2024

Research background: The issue of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, recognized as one of the major drivers of environmental degradation, has attracted considerable attention from academic researchers, policymakers, and professionals in relevant fields. Based on the existing research, countries’ pollution levels are shaped by a combination of factors, including their participation in global value chains (GVCs) and degree of technological advancement. Still, relatively little is known about the mutual interdependence of these factors in determining CO2 emissions, which creates the research gap that we address in this paper.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this study is to broaden understanding of the impact of GVC involvement on CO2 emissions in emerging and developing countries. We examine the impact of GVC participation on CO2 emissions conditional on a country’s distance to the world’s technological frontier. The rationale is that a country’s technological advancement may underpin the environmental impact of GVC participation. We claim that the adoption of technology by less developed countries via GVCs is conditioned by their absorptive capacity, which is determined by their initial level of technological development.
Methods: To investigate this issue, we employ the Arellano-Bond generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator and four patent-based technology gap indicators. The utilized data cover 90 emerging and developing countries.
Findings & value added: Our study demonstrates that a country’s technological advancement is the key factor that conditions the acquisition of environmental benefits of GVC participation. We find that countries with shorter distances to the world’s technological frontier enjoy a decline in CO2 emissions as their GVC involvement increases. At the same time, countries that are further away from the technological leader may not be able to experience CO2 reduction with increased GVC integration due to their inadequate absorptive capacity, which hampers the environmental benefits related to technology diffusion through GVCs.
El Anti–Edipo, un hijo hecho por Deleuze–Guattari a espaldas de Lacan, el padre del “síntoma”
Authors: Gabarron–García Florent , Aguiar Montaño Román
Published: October 2024

El Anti–Edipo consiste en un diálogo crítico y cerrado, a veces provocador, pero más a menudo lleno de humor, con el psicoanálisis constituido. A diferencia de la disputa poco contemporánea que conduce Robert Castel, éste no se dará por fuera del campo analítico a nombre de razones sociológicas, sino a nombre de la clínica. Se trata de volver: “con la capacidad inventiva inicial del psicoanálisis […]” como lo recuerda el manifiesto fundador de Chiméres. No se trata de hacer anti–psicoanálisis, sino de construir una “máquina de guerra” contra el reconocimiento clínico al que ciertas prácticas psicoanalíticas dan lugar, particularmente, cuando trata de la psicosis.
El rechazo del darwinismo, prácticas colaterales y duraciones locales en la Colombia decimonónica
Authors: Aguiar Montaño Román
Published: October 2024

En el texto se identifican los factores de mediana, larga y corta duración de las ciencias naturales, contexto científico e intelectual en el que aparece el darwinismo en Colombia, teniendo presente la prevalencia del momento del debate darwinista, 1872. La percepción de las experiencias y proyectos sobre las ciencias naturales, la controversia por las lecturas del utilitarismo, materialismo y liberalismo en las obras de Bentham y de Tracy, que antecedieron a la aparición del debate, forzaron el proceso de recepción del darwinismo hacia su rechazo, generando miedo al significado deformado y tendencioso del mismo, bajo rótulos de teorías subordinadas al anarquismo y materialismo, muy estigmatizados por la élite intelectual y política, que supuestamente contribuían a los postulados del radicalismo liberal que estaba en el poder. Dicho rechazo constituye la experiencia de la recepción del darwinismo en Colombia en el siglo XIX, por tanto, se impidió el conocimiento de las obras esenciales de Darwin: La Evolución de las especies por selección natural y El Origen del hombre y la selección sexual, sin prejuicios, y la enseñanza de este pensamiento, especialmente en la Universidad Nacional, donde la educación se hacía depender de los postulados clericales de ideología conservadora, esta responsable de retardar el progresismo de la ciencia y la cultura para una sociedad en transformación.
Installation for ultrasonic extraction of biologically active substances from algae
Authors: Maksimenko Yuriy Alexandrovich , Konnova Olga Ivanovna , Sokolova Ekaterina Vladimirovna , Aleksanyan Igor Yurievich
Published: October 2024

Currently, algae are actively processed to produce polysaccharides that are unique in structure and properties (al-ginic acids, agar-agar, furcellaran, carrageenans, etc.). In addition, the complex processing of algae produces other valuable components of biomass, which include polysaccharides – laminarans and fucoidans and low-molecular metabolites – free amino acids, polyphenols, iodine-containing compounds, vitamins, lipids. All these substances are of interest for practical use as biologically active compounds, which are widely used in the food industry, biotechnology and medicine. Algae are sources of protein and microelements that are little used in world practice. Artificial cultivation of certain types of algae in the future can become a profitable business, especially in conditions of increased demand for environmentally friendly, in particular, protein products of plant origin. Algae, due to their habitat, can use carbon dioxide and nutrients more efficiently than terrestrial plants, resulting in increased growth rates. Algae are more resistant to the negative effects of the environment, which simplifies the conditions for their cultivation and collection for the production of biomass, which can be used as food and for the production of biofuel, food additives and in cosmetology. The key stage that determines the efficiency of algae processing to obtain biologically active compounds is extraction. Systematization of extraction methods known in the literature and their technical support allows us to conclude that in order to intensify mass transfer processes when extracting raw materials of plant origin, in particular algae, it is advisable to use the effect of ultrasonic radiation on the extraction mixture (raw materials and extractant).
The role of silver bream (Blicca bjoerkna L.) in the formation of ichthyocenoses of small water bodies in the Kaliningrad region
Authors: Aldushina Yuliya Kazimirovna
Published: October 2024

Structural parameters (frequency of occurrence, catches per unit effort in number and biomass) are considered, which make it possible to characterize the role of species in the ichthyocenosis and determine the ways of fishery exploitation of aquatic biological resources. The frequency of occurrence is analyzed as a structural parameter of the species structure of the ichthyocenosis and as a characteristic that allows one to determine the optimal mesh size of fixed gill nets. Data from 1.141 catches and 8.205 individuals were analyzed. A comparative analysis of the structural characteristics of silver bream in different types of water bodies of the Kaliningrad region was carried out using the example of Lake Marinovo, the Sokolniki Quarry and the Staraya Dam Pond. The frequency of occurrence of silver bream in the studied water bodies ranges from 56 to 73%. The frequency of occurrence of silver bream in fixed nets of different mesh reaches maximum values in fixed nets with mesh size of 14 to 30 mm in the Staraya Dam Pond and reaches high values in all studied water bodies in fixed nets with mesh size of 20 to 27 mm. With increasing mesh size, the frequency of occurrence of silver bream decreases, with the exception of the Sokolniki Quarry. In the studied water bodies, silver bream predominates in small-mesh fixed nets with a mesh size of 14-18 mm, with the exception of the Sokolniki Quarry, where the dominance of medium-sized silver bream (14-17 cm) was also noted. The silver bream is the “core of the ichthyocenoses” of the studied water bodies according to the three parameters studied and belongs to numerous species in terms of numbers and biomass. The size-weight and some biological indicators of the silver bream in the studied water bodies are similar. In these water bodies, the silver bream can be used as an object
of amateur and sports fishing.
Biological characteristics of whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.) in Lake Vishtynetskoye (Kaliningrad region) in the modern period
Authors: Burbah Anna Sergeevna , Novozhilov Oleg Anatolievich
Published: October 2024

The work is devoted to changes in the biological parameters of the freshwater form of whitefish under conditions of changing fishing intensity. During the historical period in Lake Vishtynetskoye maximum catches reached 4.5 tons in the beginning of 2000, the catch ranged from 0.1 to 2.0 tons (average 0.6 tons), this is a period of low TAC development (fluctuations from 100 to 10%, average 50%). In the period 2017-2022, catches amount to 0.6-1.0 tons (average 0.96 tons), a period of high TAC development (fluctuations from 50 to 100%, average development 75%). The material for the work was data obtained during the study of commercial catches (in the period 2000-2006) and data obtained from the results of control catches (2017-2022). In total, more than 3,000 networks were performed. The data on the size-species structure of the ichthyocenosis, the distribution of fish by depth and the size structure of whitefish are provided. Whitefish is an important component of the ichthyocenosis, accounting for up to 20% of the catch; maximum catches occur at depths of 15-25 meters. In control catches whitefish is found with a length from 15 to 53 cm. It is shown that in the compared periods there was a change in the average body length, it decreased by 0.6 cm, with an increase in average weight by almost 50 g. There was also an increase in the average age of whitefish, from 4.5 years to 5 years. The detected changes in the biological parameters of whitefish indicate a stable state of the population and the absence of a negative impact on it from fishing in the modern period, which indicates the correct determination of the TAC value.
Customs security of Ukraine: prospects for increasing the level of protection of interests
Authors: Dorofeieva L. M.
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the issues of prospects for increasing the level of protection of interests in the field of customs security of Ukraine, including through the expansion of institutional capacity of the State Customs Service in the field of law enforcement. The author analyses the existing functional powers of customs authorities in the field of combating criminal offences related to illegal movement of goods and items across the border. The current state and mechanisms of implementation of measures to combat smuggling and other crimes at the border are investigated. The importance of granting domestic customs authorities the right to carry out operational and search activities and conduct pre-trial investigations in smuggling cases is considered in detail.
It is noted that after the entry into force of amendments to the legislation criminalising smuggling of goods, almost all law enforcement agencies in Ukraine, except for customs, have the authority to counter smuggling. At the same time, they are the only ones who can directly detect the facts of concealment of goods, objects and substances from customs control or movement outside customs control. The author emphasises that the customs administrations of almost all European countries have the powers of criminal prosecution and the right to conduct operational and investigative actions, which significantly increases the effectiveness of combating such crimes. Accordingly, without similar powers, the customs service of our country cannot count on a full partnership. The author emphasises the requirements and recommendations of the World Customs Organisation regarding the formation of institutional capacities of national customs administrations with the inclusion of the widest possible and unified range of law enforcement functions in their powers. The expansion of procedural powers will enable the Ukrainian customs service to become an equal partner in the interaction and exchange of intelligence with similar services of other countries in the fight against commercial fraud and drug trafficking. It is emphasised that the ability to detect illegal acts related to smuggling of goods, including through the use of operational and investigative measures, will enable customs authorities to ensure prompt and high-quality investigation of criminal offences and prosecution of both direct perpetrators and organisers of crimes. Ways of implementing international standards in the field of law enforcement procedures to strengthen border security are highlighted. An additional argument for the expansion of such opportunities is that the prospect of membership in the European Union imposes on Ukraine the task of protecting not only its own customs interests, but also the eastern borders of the EU as a whole.
Scope of state supervision and control of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine at the stage of establishment and development of the capital markets in Ukraine
Authors: Handoga A. V.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the legislative acts that defined the scope of the control and supervisory powers of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (hereinafter – the Commission) during the inception and formation of the securities market in Ukraine. The purpose is to identify the development trends in the legal regulation of relations within the capital markets.
The article highlights changes in the system of state administration bodies overseeing the securities market. It notes that the function of state control was divided among three bodies based on substantive and functional characteristics, with the Commission taking a central role.
A steady trend towards the legislator expanding the areas of activity and the range of issues under the Commission’s control is observed. The expansion of the Commission’s state control sphere and the range of subjects under its jurisdiction had logical justification determined by their activities. However, the scope of state control expanded significantly, requiring substantial human and material resources, which necessitated reforms in the Commission’s structure and methods.
The article also notes significant changes in defining the forms of implementation of the Commission’s control powers. According to the current version of the Law of Ukraine «On State Regulation of Capital Markets and Organized Commodity Markets,» traditional state control methods, such as scheduled inspections, have become secondary. Instead, state supervision methods focusing on observing events in the capital markets have gained prominence. The legislator’s attention has shifted from monitoring individual market participants to assessing overall market functioning. This shift requires further development of the monitoring system and enhancement of supervisory powers, reflecting the evolving content of the Commission’s activities.
The future development of relations between the state and subordinate subjects necessitates a differentiated approach to regulating its control and supervisory functions. This approach aims to reduce the scope of state control measures and promote economic liberalization.
Сharacteristics of voluntary refusal from preparing to commit a criminal offense

The article is dedicated to the issues of consciously forming criminal intent, its implementation, and the application of the institution of voluntary refusal to commit a criminal offense at the preparation stage.
The authors emphasize the importance of establishing criminal liability not only for the committed socially dangerous act but also for preparatory actions and attempts, which allows for counteracting crimes at early stages, preventing harm to social relations, and thus fulfilling the preventive function of criminal law.
Various views of criminal law scholars on the possibility of applying the institution of voluntary refusal to complete a crime at the preparation stage are analyzed, and problematic issues that require scientific investigation are highlighted.
The significance of direct intent at the preparation stage is examined, and shortcomings of the current legislation, which does not take into account the specific features of its intellectual and volitional moments at this stage, are pointed out. The main focus is on analyzing different forms of voluntary refusal: from passive abstention from further actions to active measures aimed at preventing the completion of a socially dangerous act. It is noted that the choice of the form of voluntary refusal depends on the nature of the subject’s previous activity, particularly the method by which the preparation was carried out – through active actions or inaction.
A clear formula for the mechanism of voluntary refusal is proposed, taking into account the method of preparation. If preparation for the crime was carried out by inaction, voluntary refusal should include taking necessary actions to eliminate conditions conducive to the crime. In the case of active preparatory actions, voluntary refusal may manifest as either inaction or active measures aimed at eliminating the conditions for committing the crime.
A conclusion is drawn on the need to improve legislation, taking into account the specifics of different stages of realizing criminal intent and forms of voluntary refusal. This will ensure more effective law enforcement and the protection of social relations from criminal encroachments.

The article examines the qualification features of illegal deprivation of liberty or abduction of a person by a representative of the authorities under martial law. It is concluded that the qualification of illegal deprivation of liberty or abduction of a person by a representative of the authorities in the conditions of martial law has been not the subject of an independent scientific analysis.
The aim of the research is to determine the algorithm for the qualification of illegal actions of a representative of the authorities, which are related to the illegal deprivation of liberty or abduction of a person under martial law.
To realize the aim of the article, the following scientific methods have been used, such as: formal-dogmatic one has been used for legal analysis of the powers of servicemen of the Territorial centers of recruitment and social support and policemen during mobilization measures; the method of comparative analysis makes it possible to compare the degree of social danger of individual criminal offenses associated with liberty deprivation of a person by a representative of the authorities; the statistical method makes it possible to determine the quantitative indicators of individual criminal offenses related to the deprivation of liberty of a person by a representative of authorities. The methods of analysis and synthesis makes it possible to propose specific algorithms for criminal offenses qualification related to the deprivation of liberty of a person by a representative of the authorities.
The research emphasizes that the mechanism of limiting constitutional human rights and freedoms in Ukraine under martial law conditions does not determine the possibility of limiting the rights and freedoms guaranteed in Art. 29 (right to freedom and personal integrity), Art. 55 (right to judicial protection), Art. 62 (presumption of innocence), Art. 63 (right to protection) of the Constitution of Ukraine.
It was established that due to incorrectly set priorities and the absence of a clear mechanism for the implementation of mobilization norms, some representatives of the authorities distorted the mobilization by committing criminal offenses, in particular, illegal deprivation of liberty or abduction of a person. Artificial latency of criminal offenses related to mobilization committed by representatives of the authorities has been established.
Qualification algorithms of the government representative actions who commits certain illegal actions during mobilization under martial law are proposed, such as: according to Art. 365 of the CC of Ukraine; Part 5 of Art. 426-1 of the CC of Ukraine; according to Part 1 of Art. 146-1 of the CC of Ukraine; according to Art. 186 of the CC of Ukraine; according to Art. 187 of the CC of Ukraine; according to Art. 397 of the CC of Ukraine.
The right to a constitutional complaint as an element of access to constitutional justice
Authors: Balatska O.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the right to file a constitutional complaint as a component of ensuring access to constitutional justice. Based on the analysis of Ukraine’s legal doctrine and legislation, it has been established that the institution of constitutional complaint became a novelty within the framework of the institutional judicial reform regarding justice in 2016, which was accompanied by amendments to the Constitution, and the practical implementation of these provisions, as well as the consideration of constitutional complaints by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine began in 2018. The article establishes that the peculiarities of the constitutional complaint in Ukraine allow it to be characterized as individual, direct, and «partially normative,» since its subject matter only covers «the law of Ukraine,» with the object of the constitutional complaint being limited exclusively to laws of Ukraine. The Ukrainian model of the constitutional complaint, by its potential, serves as an effective tool for protecting constitutionally guaranteed human rights, with the condition of its effectiveness being the productive activity of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. At the same time, the author draws attention to the debatable nature of limiting the object of the constitutional complaint exclusively to laws of Ukraine in view of the needs and realities of Ukrainian society in terms of guaranteeing human and citizen rights and freedoms. It is proposed to expand the range of legal acts that can be challenged through a constitutional complaint to verify their constitutionality, including other normative legal acts of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, acts of the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and legal acts of the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in cases where the application of these acts in a specific case led to a violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine.
It has been established that the introduction of the institution of individual constitutional complaint is a valuable step in the context of ensuring an individual’s access to constitutional justice in Ukraine and a guarantee of the effectiveness of the right to judicial protection. It is concluded that the right to file an individual constitutional complaint is an important guarantee of access to justice, as it ensures the non- illusory nature of democratic values, the principle of the rule of law, and contributes to the development of a judicial system that guarantees equality before the law and a fair trial.
