Linear Regression to Analyze Temperature and Air Humidity on Rainfall: A Case Study at Padang Panjang Geophysics Station (2020-2023)
Authors: Lovia Lita , Yessi Yusnita  , Alona Dwinata
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the correlation between temperature, humidity, and Rainfall at the Geophysics Station of Padang Panjang from 2020 to 2023. Monthly data from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) was used to evaluate the relationship between these meteorological variables. Statistical analysis, including correlation and multiple linear regression, was conducted using SPSS version 22. The results show a significant negative correlation between Rainfall and temperature, indicating that temperature tends to decrease as rainfall increases. In contrast, a positive correlation between Rainfall and humidity suggests that higher humidity levels are associated with increased Rainfall. However, the regression analysis reveals that temperature and moisture explain only 16.76% of the variation in Rainfall, indicating the potential influence of other factors not included in the model.
The idea of national and social liberation in the Ukrainian political and legal opinion of the radical socialist trend in Galicia in the interwar period (1918-1939)
Authors: Melnyk A. I.
Published: November 2024

The article highlights the development of the idea of national and social liberation in the Ukrainian political and legal opinion of the radical socialist direction in Galicia in the interwar period (1918–1939). It is shown that the Ukrainian Radical Party, originally the Russian-Ukrainian Radical Party, created in 1890 by I. Franko, M. Pavlyk, O. Terletsky, and since 1926 the Ukrainian Socialist Radical Party – USRP, has turned into one of the leading and influential forces of Western Ukraine of the political community of the interwar period, which managed to combine the problems of national and social liberation of Ukrainians in its program. It is emphasized that the idea of fighting for a sovereign sovereign Ukrainian state was central to the theoretical and practical activities of significant representatives of Ukrainian political and legal thought of a radical socialist direction.
The cooperation of radicals with Ukrainian parties of the national-state spectrum, their role in the creation and development of the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic, the defense of the unity of Ukrainian lands, and the rallying of the national-state forces of the region after the decline of the ZUNR are analyzed. The influence of Lev Bachynskyi, a lawyer, doctor of law, public and political figure, head of the Ukrainian Radical Party on the formation and development of Ukrainian political and legal thought of a radical orientation is characterized. It is emphasized that his creative heritage, in particular, his autobiography, numerous journalistic notes, public speeches, correspondence and other materials published in the columns of the official bodies of the URP-USRP, as well as the press bodies of other Western Ukrainian political parties, convincingly characterize L. Bachynskyi as a consistent supporter of radical ideas in the conditions of the legal struggle for the national and social liberation of the Ukrainians of Galicia. Leading the party until the end of his life, L. Bachynskyi made efforts to implement the idea of national and social liberation of Ukrainians. It is emphasized that L. Bachynskyi, being an ideologue of radical methods of national and social liberation of the Ukrainians of Galicia, resolutely denied dictatorship, terrorism and violence and resorted only to legal forms of political activity, advocating exclusively in the legal field the democratic way of building the future Ukrainian state.
The state and prospects of the development of the codification of the legislation of Ukraine
Authors: Oliynyk A. V.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the state and prospects for the development of the codification of the legislation of Ukraine. It is indicated that the legal reform is accompanied by the adoption of new laws and regulations, which are designed to ensure a unified mechanism of legal regulation of social relations and effective functioning of the national legal system. However, the dynamic development of the legal system, in particular, through the creation of new normative acts, amendments to existing ones and overcoming conflicts, violates the systemic nature of legislation, which negatively affects the regulation of social relations. Attention is drawn to the fact that the transition to full membership in the European Union is carried out by multidimensional changes in various spheres of Ukrainian society. It is noted that the codification of legislation is an important form of regulation of normative legal acts, which combines both law-making and systematizing activities. It is aimed at eliminating gaps and conflicts in the legislation, increasing its systematicity and coherence, which as a result ensures more effective legal regulation of social relations and contributes to the development of the legal system of Ukraine. The necessity of harmonizing Ukrainian legislation with European norms is substantiated as a key condition for fulfilling the requirements for EU membership. It is noted that the process of harmonization of the legislation of Ukraine with the legal system of the European Union is permanent and long-term, and it will not end even after the achievement of membership. Unfortunately, Ukrainian legislation does not meet modern international standards in all areas. It is concluded that this is why there is an urgent need for the codification of national legislation, which allows streamlining the legal framework, avoiding violations and gaps in legal norms, and also improving the legal regulation of many spheres of social relations. It is proven that the codification of the legislation of Ukraine will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of legal regulation, systematization of norms and elimination of legal conflicts. It ensures the relevance of legal regulation and will allow to harmonize domestic legislation with EU legal acts. It is substantiated that codification will become the basis for the stable development of the legal system of Ukraine in the conditions of European integration and will allow to ensure compliance of national norms with the requirements of European legislation.
Powers of the President of Ukraine that undermine the constitutional model of executive power
Authors: Berko S. T.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the powers of the President of Ukraine which contradict the Constitution of Ukraine. In particular, attention is paid to the analysis of current laws that grant the President of Ukraine additional powers not provided for in the Constitution of Ukraine, which allows him to interfere with the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and central executive authorities and undermine the constitutional model of executive power.
After analyzing all primary laws that are in force as of July 2024, the author of the article identified about a hundred laws that contain provisions granting the President of Ukraine unconstitutional powers. The author identifies several groups of these powers. First of all, these are powers related to the formation and operation of the Cabinet of Ministers and central executive authorities. In particular, the law still allows the President of Ukraine to appoint the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, determine the basis for the activities of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, appoint the head of the State Bureau of Investigation, and form the composition of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission. The President of Ukraine retains a decisive influence on the appointment and dismissal of heads of local state administrations and can offset the role of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in this process. The law vests the President of Ukraine with a significant number of powers to create and form auxiliary bodies of other state authorities, which are not within the President’s competence. The author also draws attention to the fact that the President’s powers in the field of foreign policy and national security and defense, which are defined in the text of the Constitution of Ukraine in rather broad terms, can be used to expand the scope of the President’s powers defined by the Constitution and to interfere with the sphere of competence of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. In addition, the independent powers of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine granted by the laws are also used to expand the competence of the President of Ukraine beyond the limits established by the Constitution.
The article emphasizes the need to bring the current laws in line with the Constitution of Ukraine in terms of the President’s powers in order to ensure the constitutional model of executive power and to avoid further interference by the head of state in the areas of competence of other state authorities.
Constitutional and legal regulation of justice: current state
Authors: Pekarchuk A. V.
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the current state of constitutional and legal regulation of justice in Ukraine. It is emphasized that this situation is connected with the amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine that were made in 2016. These changes were aimed at harmonizing national legislation with international standards and recommendations, in particular regarding the independence of the judiciary and the depoliticization of the judges’ appointing process. An important reform was the transfer of key powers in the field of appointing judges to the High Council of Justice, which excluded the influence of political forces on this process, limiting the role of the President to only ceremonial functions of approving candidacies.
Considerable attention is paid in the study to the new role of the Supreme Council of Justice, which replaced the Supreme Council of Justice and received additional functions of monitoring compliance with professional ethics by judges and prosecutors. The need to revise the quantitative composition of the representatives of the prosecutor’s office in the High Council of Justice was emphasized in order to ensure a fairer consideration of prosecutors’ disciplinary cases.
The new constitutional concept of justice uniting the prosecutor’s office and advocacy within the framework of one section of the Constitution, which indicates a systemic approach to justice reform, in which all elements of the legal system are considered as interconnected parts of a single mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms, is covered. Such an association contributes to the harmonization of the prosecutor’s office activities and the bar, increasing the effectiveness of their interaction in the process of administering justice.
In addition to positive aspects, the article focuses on the existing shortcomings of the prosecutor’s office legislative regulation. In particular, the risks of political influence on the procedure for appointing the Prosecutor General due to the significant role of the President are indicated. It is proposed to review the mechanism of appointing the Prosecutor General, giving a key role in this process to the High Council of Justice and self-governing bodies of the prosecutor’s office.
It is summarized that there is an urgency to make changes to the current legislation in the context of depoliticization of the justice system, a clear determination of the prosecutor’s office principles.
Religious Freedom: Modern Content and Place within the System of Human Rights
Authors: Poleshko A.
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the analysis of modern concepts and a perspective vision of the content of religious freedom and aims to form a generalized modern statement on the content of religious freedom, as well as to determine its place within the system of human rights. This article continues the research begun in regard of the historical dynamics of religious freedom.
The relevance of the study is justified by the urgency of the issues of religion and confession in the context of the growing number of adherents of one or another religion and the use of religious narratives for political purposes. In addition, the latest factors in the formation of the post-secular society (diversification of the relationship to religion and types of religiosity) lead to the erosion of the classical definition of the subject of religious freedom, which causes the need to analyze the latest vision of the studied freedom; definition and specification of its subject and limits of application.
The article analyzes and compares the modern (dominant) and the newest (emerging) concepts of religious freedom. The first generally develops in the plane of «formed religion – atheism» and provides for the possibility of choosing and implementing a relationship to religion. This approach is enshrined in the main international legal acts.
The latest concept of religious freedom is shaped, first of all, by the practice of the ECtHR and is adequate to the challenges of a post-secular society. Within the framework of this concept, the subject of researched freedom is formed as a set of beliefs that form the basis of the worldview and are axiomatically (faith-based), regardless of the orientation of such beliefs to a specific subject (that may deal with religious or non-religious issues). At the same time, the practice of the ECtHR defines the features of beliefs that are subject to protection (including their metaphysical nature, seriousness for a person, a sufficient level of stability and development) and creates prerequisites for unlimited variability of confession (choice of belief).
The author provided a summary of the ECtHR’s practice under Article 9 of the European Convention; outlined the main features and approaches of the latest concept of religious freedom.
Comparative characteristics of the rights and obligations of parents and actual educators
Authors: Drapaty N. V.

Family, de facto guardian, rights of de facto guardian, duties of de facto guardian, foster guardian, guardian, custodian, child.
The author emphasizes that the family is a basic social unit for a child, which plays a key role in its development and education. The family provides emotional support as well as the initial environment for learning social skills, traditions, and values. The main aspects that make a family important to a child include: security, support, socialization, learning and development, tradition and culture. And, therefore, raising a child in a family is the basis for a child’s development in the modern world, because it is the family that gives the child the foundation that will play an important role in his development as a full-fledged member of society in the future.

And, therefore, raising a child in a family is the basis for a child’s development in the modern world, because it is the family that gives the child the foundation that will play an important role in his development as a full-fledged member of society in the future.
However, under certain circumstances, not every child is brought up in a family. Therefore, forms of placement have been created in Ukraine, which are designed to ensure the protection of the legal rights and interests of children, in particular the right to a family. Their task is to make the child’s stay close to family, to provide the child with the skills that the family should give, which will help the child successfully adapt to today’s challenges.
However, the relations of persons who have taken a child into a family for upbringing are not fully regulated by law, their rights and obligations are not fixed. The legislator defines the rights and duties of parents, foster parents, foster carers, guardians, custodians, but does not regulate the rights and duties of persons who have taken a child into their family (actual educators).
In order to understand what rights and obligations should be established for a de facto caregiver, it is first necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of the rights and obligations of parents, foster carers, guardians and custodians.
The author concludes that the rights of parents, foster carers, guardians and custodians are to a certain extent established, regulated and regulated by law, but the rights and duties of actual carers are seeking their implementation and later approval.
Elimination of the right to inheritance as a form of civil liability
Authors: Kashchuk D. A.
Published: November 2024

The paper is dedicated to issues on researching elimination of the right to inheritance as a form of civil liability. It is stressed, the elimination of the right to inheritance, unquestionably, is a form of civil liability, a specific sanction for failure to fulfil positive obligations under the Civil, Family and Criminal laws of Ukraine. We outline, a mentioned form of liability is related to violence (failure to fulfil positive civil and legal obligations) that include: obligations of personal non-property character, related to protection of personal right for life and health of the person, obligations that come from the necessity of the ensuring the principle of the freedom of testament of the testator, alimony obligations are defined by Family Law, and obligations that come from the relations between parents and children and violation of the requirements of family law in terms of the legality of marriage.
There is stressed, the elimination of the right for the inheritance is the only penalty for this form of civil liability. By its legal nature, it is similar to certain types of punishment and penalties in civil, criminal and administrative law. This penalty has subsidiary nature (is an additional burden on the person who committed the offence that results in such removal). Elimination of the right to inheritance is also a means of the protection of rights of the interested person, and interests of the society and the state. Thus, natural features of the elimination of the right for the inheritance as a specific form of the civil and legal liability include: property and legal (economic) character, i.e. impossibility to take part in redistribution of property (inheritance), for which a person would to pretend under others conditions; it is a consequence of the violation of personal non-property and property obligations of the person or encroachment on personal non-property benefits; has additional (subsidiary) character for other type of the legal liability; can be included into non-contractual (tort) liability; it is a consequence of torts that provide an obligative sign of guilt as an element of the subjective side of the offence (in the absence of fault as an element of the offence, for example, in the case of a nullity of marriage, which was not reported by the surviving spouse, the court may recognize the right to inherit the share of the deceased spouse), implemented by the person who is eliminated of the right to inheritance.
Prerequisites for the realisation of the right to inheritance by spouses under martial law
Authors: Sus Y. S.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the issues of the essence of the prerequisites for exercising the right to inheritance by a surviving spouse after the death of her/his spouse.
The prerequisites established by the legislator are not sufficient for the unconditional exercise of the right to inheritance due, in particular, to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation which has been ongoing since 2014 in certain territories of Ukraine and which escalated on 24 February 2022 into a large-scale armed invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops which is still ongoing. The armed aggression of the Russian Federation has made adjustments to the established provisions on inheritance: the time limit for accepting or refusing to accept an inheritance in the conditions of martial law or a state of emergency has been changed; an inheritance case could be opened at the request of the heir by any notary of Ukraine, regardless of the place of opening the inheritance, etc.
Based on the analysis of Ukrainian legislation and the practice of its application, the author examines certain aspects of the following prerequisites: the occurrence of an event which leads to the opening of the inheritance (death of the testator or declaration of his/her death); the existence of the fact of legitimacy to inherit as a surviving spouse (to be eligible for inheritance, a person must be a de jure legal heir of the testator, and not de facto); the existence of the subject matter of inheritance: an object or objects of inheritance succession, and compliance with the terms of acceptance or not established by the legislator.
The author suggests that the presence of the above prerequisites is not an exhaustive list, but they are necessary for the undisputed entry into the inheritance. Defining these conditions and understanding them by all participants to the inheritance proceedings will ensure their clear implementation. In addition, the author believes that the issue of implementation of certain aspects of the right to inheritance under martial law requires further research not only at the theoretical level, but also at the practical level, which will allow the legislator to develop effective mechanisms to guarantee the surviving spouse the right to inherit after the death of her/his spouse.
Audiovisual work as a digital object of copyright: peculiarities of legal protection
Authors: Tarasenko L. L.
Published: November 2024

The article considers certain problematic aspects of the legal regime of an audiovisual work. It has been proven that today almost all audiovisual works are created and exist precisely in digital form, but an audiovisual work cannot be considered a work that exists exclusively in digital form, such as, for example, a computer program. It is substantiated that the signs of an audiovisual work are: it is first of all a work, an object of copyright, which is certainly characterized by originality and an appropriate form of expression, preferably digital; the presence of a sequence of episodes or frames with or without sound (this feature indicates the montage of certain episodes, frames that are pre-filmed and later combined into a single whole, so the question may arise whether a recording that is not divided into frames/episodes, but which corresponds to other features of the audiovisual work); the presence of a coherent creative idea, which is created by all the authors of the audiovisual work, first of all the screenwriter; availability for human perception with the help of appropriate technical means on a certain type of screen on which such a sequence of frames forms a moving image; the presence of several authors (they do not have the status of co-authors): screenwriter, cameraman, production designer and others; the presence of a producer. It is substantiated that non-original video recordings can be protected as objects not of copyright or related rights, but as objects that are close to them, and for their legal protection the right of a special kind (sui generis) can be applied. It has been proven that the concept of «video file» is unspecified and conceptually it is not consistent with the terminology of the law on copyright; video files include audiovisual works and videograms, as well as other video recordings. It has been established that the law directly provides for two types of audiovisual works: music videos and films, but there may be other types of audiovisual works. It has been established that the most common ways of using an audiovisual work, based on its specificity and legal nature, are reproduction, distribution of copies of the work, renting or lending copies of the work; public display, public demonstration, interactive provision of access to the public and other ways of making it known to the public, etc. It is proven that audiovisual works belong to the so-called «digital» objects, since they are created and exist (used) in digital form. It is substantiated that from the point of view of legislative technique, it is expedient to more fully compile the legislative provisions on the audiovisual work specifically in Art. 16 of the Law of Ukraine «On Copyright and Related Rights», which is a special norm regarding this copyright object and determines its legal regime.
Analysis of contemporary requirements for industrial design protection under new intellectual property legislation
Authors: Yavorska O.
Published: November 2024

The relevance of industrial design protection has significantly increased in light of rapid technological advancements and the globalization of markets. The importance of this research is underscored by the growing number of industrial design rights infringements, highlighting the need for improved legal approaches to ensure the effective protection of intellectual property. It is noted that the development of efficient and robust legal frameworks, which facilitate access to innovative technologies while safeguarding interests, enables the promotion of fair competition. Consequently, the need to adapt national legislation to international standards, such as the TRIPS Agreement and the Hague Agreement, shapes the key directions of legal reforms in the field of intellectual property.
The objective of this study is to analyze the current requirements for industrial design protection in the context of new intellectual property legislation. Special attention is given to the harmonization of national legal norms with international standards, referencing relevant provisions from the current legislation of Ukraine. The research also addresses the balance between the rights of developers and public interests to avoid monopolization of related solutions.
The study employs comparative analysis and legal research methods, which allowed for a detailed examination of the current legislation of Ukraine and the European Union in the context of modern trends in industrial design protection.
The findings confirm the need for further legislative improvements, particularly in the areas of simplifying registration procedures and strengthening mechanisms for combating rights violations. The conclusions emphasize that future changes should focus on the flexibility of the industrial design protection system, ensuring a balance between private rights holders and public interests, as well as adaptability to the challenges of modern markets and technological progress. It is important to establish legislation that protects the rights of copyright holders and promotes the development of an innovative environment and fair competition.
The principle of the rule of law in the conditions of globalization
Authors: Dudnyk R. M.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the principle of the rule of law in the conditions of globalization. Thus, the rule of law is perceived as a universal principle of ensuring human rights, which all states must adhere to, in particular, in the implementation of globalization processes. It has been established that globalization encompasses all spheres of modern social life and is aimed at economic, political, social, cultural, etc. unification, which makes it possible to solve many current problems of a global scale. Research has determined that globalization contributes to the creation of international organizations that have an influence on other subjects of legal relations and in a certain way perform the functions of the state instead of it. At the same time, in this case, the observance of human rights is ensured precisely by the principle of the rule of law, which aims to establish restrictions on interference in a person’s life by a public authority. In view of the above, the article selectively analyzes examples of establishing the need to observe the principle of the rule of law in the normative acts of international organizations that have a significant impact on the international arena, namely the European Union and the United Nations, which is why their role in development and established the mentioned principle. The article also proves the importance of general recognition and application of the principle of the rule of law, in particular for the effective implementation of globalization processes. Thus, it has been determined that the heterogeneity of world society according to the criterion of its development, as well as the difference in legal regulation, generates negative consequences in the implementation of globalization, especially for the «third world» countries, the basis for overcoming which can be the general application of the principle of the rule of law in the construction of any legal relations , because it is thanks to the rule of law that it is possible to form such a general legal awareness, in which the observance of human rights and freedoms will be of the highest importance, which in turn will form the corresponding legal reality. Based on the results of the study of the topic, it was concluded that despite the fact that the principle of the rule of law is not a new legal category, constant changes in society and in the processes of state formation require timely corresponding transformations from this principle.

Interpreting man as a basic figure of the history personification process
Authors: Nikolaeva A.B.
Published: November 2024

The article asks the question of the appearance on the forefront of modern humanitarians of the figure of a person who interprets as a consequence of the noticeable universalization of the hermeneutical field of knowledge. The appearance of this figure is compared and commensurate with the development of the phenomenon of personification of history, i.e. the possibilities of reading it with the help of a biographical work. Its features in the postmodern era need to be understood, and the interpretation of modern biography is carried out from hermeneutic positions by both the reader and the researcher. As a result, both subjects have the status of an interpreter, without which the analysis of the special process of personification of history will not do.

Published: November 2024

Family health is one of the most important aspects of every person's life, and healthy family relationships contribute to the physical and psychological well-being. In this regard, the scientific discussion of the "family health" construct and its study through English-language tools is a very promising task. The aim of the study was the theoretical substantiation of the family health construct and the adaptation of the family health scale (The family health scale) on the Russian sample. Methods: the Family Viability Assessment Scale, A questionnaire of family emotional communications, a scale of satisfaction with sexual relations in the family and the author's Scale of family support during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample of the study was 728 people (M = 36,33 years old, 57,4 % of them women, 42,6 % men) who are married and living in the Russia took part in the online survey on condition of anonymity. Exploratory factor analysis allowed us to identify 4 factors corresponding to the 4th subscales: "socio-emotional health indicators", "family health resources", "healthy lifestyle of the family", "external social support of the family". The confirmatory factor analysis established the final (a posteriori) model of the family health scale. Next, the reliability of the scale was checked by the internal consistency of the statements included in it. To verify the convergent validity of the questionnaire, a correlation analysis was carried out, the closest links were found between the components of family viability and the subscales of Family health scale. No statistically significant sex differences in subscale indices were found. Significant correlations with the indicator of satisfaction with sexual relations in the family were also revealed, which gives grounds to consider sexual relations as part of family health. It can be summarized that the shortage of material, social and psychological resources reduces the level of family viability. Strong explicable links were found between all subscales of family health and the indicator of family support during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be considered as a special case of family viability.
The Impact of Basic Life Orientations on the Quality of Life of Chinese Students
Authors: Qin P.
Published: November 2024

Quality of life is a complex phenomenon that encompasses a person's physical health, mental state, social relationships, and personal beliefs in their correlation with environmental perception and behavior. Personality orientation plays an essential role in the multilevel phenomenon of life quality. Recently, this issue has been addressed more and more often, in connection with the study of certain social groups. The purpose was to study the ratio of basic (subject-object) orientations and the Chinese students' quality of life, taking into account seх and time of study at the university. The respondents were 600 students of Chinese universities, including 149 boys (24,8%) and 451 girls (75,2%); their age ranged from 17 to 25 years (19,64±3,29), 300 freshmen and 300 fourth-year students. The Questionnaire of Life Orientations by E.Y. Korjova and the Short Brunswicken Quality of Life Scale (BBQ), adapted earlier by the author on the Chinese sample, were used. Comparative analysis (Student's t-test), correlation analysis (Pearson's r-test), and linear regression analysis were performed. A number of differences were obtained between boys and girls, as well as first-year and senior students in certain characteristics of basic life orientations. At the same time, the level of quality of life is higher for girls compared to boys and for freshmen compared to seniors. There was a close positive relationship between basic life orientations (all three of their dimensions: the courage to challenge difficulties, the desire for inner harmony and clarity of life goals) and the Chinese students' quality of life, as well as the positive impact of basic life orientations on the quality of life of students.

Published: November 2024

We offer to discuss a communicative model of addressant and addressee, narrator (author) and reader interaction in Chekhov's stories on the basis of speech impact and linguistic manipulation analysis which allows to disclose new facets of text reading. There introduced a working term “literary manipulation” which means concealed, covert impact on an addressee in a literary text. We educed several underlying parallel plans of indirect communication different types: character-character, character-reader, author-reader. The analysis shows that manipulators' positions emphasis is attended by existence, at minimum, of the third plan of reading, which is possible to educe only through addressing the communicative nature of the text. The third plan is communication at the concealed sense level. Each of the communicative duads is represented by diverse variants of development: direct interaction, secret manipulation, implicit dialogue and some others. It is important that a congruence vector of each plan components largely can be interdirected so characters' actions are interpreted not only from a social aspect point of view but from a reader's level of readiness to cultural comprehension of a literary work. Such approach results in a readers' new position: they become not only a text contemplator but an active participant of a literary process. Being involved in a narration structure they conceive multiplicity of text senses.

In the context of digital transformation, Chinese small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant challenges and opportunities in adapting to market dynamics and technological advancements. This study investigates the impact of coopetition strategy on the core competencies of SMEs, with a particular focus on marketing, technological, and integrative competencies. Data were collected from a sample of 300 SMEs in Anhui Province through an online survey, and reliability and validity were tested using SPSS and AMOS. The results indicate that dependency and trust significantly enhance the effectiveness of coopetition strategy from an external perspective, while managerial ambidexterity and strategic intent are critical internal factors driving the successful implementation of coopetition strategies. Both external and internal factors positively impact the core competencies of SMEs. Additionally, environmental uncertainty moderates the relationship between coopetition strategy and core competencies, underscoring the need for flexibility and adaptability in dynamic market environments. The findings suggest that SMEs can better integrate internal and external resources, optimize resource allocation, and improve operational efficiency through coopetition strategy, thereby enhancing their core competencies. This study provides valuable insights and practical guidance for policymakers and business practitioners aiming to support the digital transformation of SMEs.
