Authors: Lestari Selfi Octaviani , Zakianis  , Sapta Wibowo Ady
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The increasing volume of medical waste generated during the COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant challenge to hospitals, highlighting the urgent need for effective hospital waste management. However, the current medical waste management practices in many hospitals may not be sufficient to handle the surge in waste, highlighting a critical gap in the system. This study. The present study aims to review articles discussing problems and solutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) related to hospital waste management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This review study was performed by searching four databases - Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and ProQuest from 2020-2022.
Results: Based on the findings of the article review, the 3R process - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle - proves crucial in managing medical waste, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This process serves as the primary stage in medical waste management, effectively minimizing the burden on the subsequent stages, such as storage, transportation, and final processing. By implementing the 3R process, healthcare facilities can effectively reduce the volume of medical waste, consequently mitigating the negative impact of the pandemic on the environment. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize the 3R process in managing medical waste to address the increasing generation of medical waste brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for stronger management and law enforcement commitment in LMIC hospitals. These events require hospitals to be better prepared for emergencies like pandemics. Therefore, governments and healthcare institutions must prioritize emergency preparedness measures to effectively handle such crises. By taking proactive measures to improve hospital management and law enforcement, LMICs can be better equipped to manage future pandemics and protect the health of their citizens.

Published: September 2024

If ignored, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disease marked by high levels of blood glucose, can have serious negative effects on one's health. The efficacy, safety, and patient compliance of traditional treatment approaches, like insulin injections and oral medications, are frequently hampered. Nanoparticle-based methods have shown promise in recent years as improved diabetes management techniques. Enhanced bioavailability, prolonged therapeutic effects, and targeted drug delivery are just a few of the special benefits that come with using nanoparticles. An overview of current perspectives on using nanoparticles for diabetes control is given in this review. The properties, production processes, and potential uses of several types of nanoparticles, such as polymeric, lipid-based, and inorganic nanoparticles, in the management of diabetes are covered. These nanoparticles allow for the precise delivery of therapeutic agents, such as insulin or anti-diabetic medications, to specific target tissues, like the liver or pancreas. It discusses how inorganic nanoparticles, Polymeric Nanoparticles (PNPs), and Lipid-Based Nanoparticles (LNPs) contribute to improved drug solubility, targeted delivery, and controlled release. Several methods for synthesizing polymeric nanoparticles are described. It also discusses the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of some nanoparticles and how crucial they are to lowering diabetes-related issues. By incorporating the most recent research, this review offers a comprehensive summary of the current developments in the use of nanoparticles for diabetes control, paving the way for enhanced therapeutic outcomes and tailored interventions.

Published: September 2024

Objective: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis of an oxadiazole derivative exhibiting potent anti-tubercular activity by inhibiting synthesis.
Methods: Our investigation employed both 3D atom-based and field-based Comparative Molecular Field Analysis/Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMFA/CoMSIA) techniques, along with auto QSAR analysis using a 2D canvas. The CoMFA and CoMSIA methodologies allowed for the exploration of molecular interactions and structural features contributing to the molecule's inhibitory potency. Utilizing these 3D approaches, we delineated the steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bond acceptor/donor fields influencing the molecular activity. Furthermore, the auto QSAR analysis provided valuable insights into the 2D structural descriptors governing the anti-TB efficacy of the oxadiazole compound.
Results: Our findings not only elucidate the molecular determinants essential for inhibitory activity but also provide a robust predictive model for assessing the anti-TB activity of structurally related compounds. Both 3D QSAR and 2D QSAR models were designed and generated. These models were found to be useful in predicting the anti-TB activity of oxadiazole derivatives. The best model for accurately predicting activity was found to have a Q² value of 0.9558 and an R² value of 0.979.
Conclusion: This integrative QSAR study contributes to the rational design and optimization of novel oxadiazole-based therapeutics against tuberculosis, addressing the urgent need for effective treatment strategies against this global health threat.

Published: September 2024

En México, la mayoría de las personas hacemos uso de las vías peatonales diariamente, desafortunadamente muchas veces las condiciones de dichas vías no son óptimas y originan riesgos para el peatón. En el presente trabajo se expone la problemática originada por el uso inadecuado de las aceras. Los registros que se obtuvieron fueron a través de la observación. El trabajo de campo se realizó en los municipios de Heroica Matamoros, San Fernando y Valle Hermoso ubicados en el estado de Tamaulipas, México. Como resultado, se pudo identificar que las vías peatonales se encuentran obstruidas y en malas condiciones, lo que impide la correcta movilidad de las personas. Esto se acentúa cuando se trata de peatones con movilidad reducida; los principales factores limitantes fueron: construcciones, señalización, vehículos estacionados, escombro y vegetación. Ya que el uso inadecuado de aceras es generalizado, esto representa un grave problema para el usuario al verse forzado a utilizar la calle para transitar, por lo que se hace necesario promover una cultura vial positiva a través de la aplicación de políticas públicas que garanticen espacios seguros para los peatones, así como un sistema efectivo de sanciones para las personas que obstruyen la libre circulación.
A Comparison of Forest Edges and Interiors on the Infestation Dynamics of Dryocoetes Confusus Swaine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
Authors: Maclauchlan Lorraine , Brooks Julie. E.
Published: September 2024

The western balsam bark beetle, Dryocoetes confusus Swaine, is ubiquitous throughout mature subalpine fir ecosystems in British Columbia and is considered the most serious mortality-causing disturbance. Harvesting subalpine fir has increased recently; however, little is known about how this anthropogenic disturbance affects the population dynamics of D. confusus. Using high resolution photography and ground surveys, this study compared stand composition and D. confusus attack levels along natural forest edges and edges created by harvest <10 years or >15 years ago, to forest interiors, where no anthropogenic disturbance had occurred. Subalpine fir density and D. confusus attack were lower in natural forest edges than in harvested edges. There were differences in attack levels between harvest treatments, but the overall impact by D. confusus was similar to D. confusus-caused mortality seen in forest interiors. More recent attack differed among edge treatments, with the highest levels in the <10 years since harvest treatment and the lowest levels in natural edges. This short period of increased activity by D. confusus post-harvest has minimal

Desde hace más de cincuenta años han proliferado las investigaciones sobre el trabajo de las mujeres ya fuera en el ámbito de la producción o en el de la reproducción. Esto ha supuesto que el trabajo haya dejado de ser considerado únicamente como relaciones de empleo para ser percibido también como relaciones de género, relaciones entre hombres y mujeres. Así, ha sido posible no solo mejorar la visibilización de todo el trabajo socialmente necesario sino también avanzar en la explicación de su estructuración y consecuencias. Las dos comunicaciones premiadas en la Reunión Intercongresual de A Coruña son una expresión de esta mejora y avance. Una mirada sociológica que ahora hay que ampliar a otras actividades laborales que están pasando a ser desapercibidas y no remuneradas detrás de la digitalización de los procesos de producción de bienes y servicios.

The Phenomenon of Ethnocultural Enclaves of Russophone Koreans “Koryŏin Maŭl” in South Korea
Authors: Akulenko Vadim
Published: September 2024

This article details the findings of a study conducted from October 2022 to December 2023 on the ethnocultural enclaves of Russophone Koreans in South Korea. The research delves into the origins of the term “Koryŏin Maŭl” and proposes a refined definition. It identifies key characteristics shared by these enclaves and introduces a preliminary classification scheme. Distinguished by a strong ethnic presence and a somewhat insular community formed around a common language (Russian) and shared cultural practices, the “Koryŏin Maŭl” can be defined as ethnocultural enclaves. These areas are self-determined and universally recognized among their residents.Through my research, I have concluded that the Koryŏin Maŭls in South Korea share a number of common characteristics. They all have distinct boundaries, formed by both terrain features and patterns of residential development. These neighborhoods also house a significant number of ethnic businesses, whose success largely hinges on the customer base formed within the ethnic enclave itself.
Redefining South Korean ODA (Official Development Assistance): How Technical Aid Emerges from its Contexts (1954-1965)
Authors: DiMoia John P.
Published: September 2024

This paper considers the origins of South Korean ODA (official development assistance), working through the lens of KOICA’s (Korea International Cooperation Agency) two main predecessor institutions in the early 1960s. In contrast to KOICA (1991-prsent), associated with a rich Korea, this earlier period was dominated by small-scale efforts at outreach with neighboring countries, especially in Southeast Asia and Africa.In this context, two arguments emerge. First, Korean aid began earlier than is generally assumed, with the first outreach to African partners coming under discussion as early as 1960. Second, when the nation began its official in-country workshops a few years later, these were heavily influenced by the experiences Koreans had themselves undergone with the US in the form of “third-county training,” in which the US paired its partners to speed up the transfer of knowledge. In brief, Korean aid at its start point took place most frequently with new post-colonial partners, whether for diplomatic recognition, or for the exchange of knowledge, and went on to shape a new network as KODCO (Korean Overseas Development Corporation, 1965-1991) became a reality in the mid-1960s.
Cursinhos populares como via de democratização e ascensão: uma análise bibliográfica
Authors:   , Francisco Filho José Carlos
Published: September 2024

Esta dissertação de mestrado fundamenta-se por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica concebida a partir do termo "cursinhos populares" e realiza uma análise da produção científica que abarca esse conceito, tendo sido coletada no portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES. Explorando os conceitos de ascensão social e democratização do ensino, esta pesquisa busca compreender a evolução desses dois paradigmas à luz das recentes contribuições na área. Inspirada pela obra seminal de Dubet, a qual investiga as múltiplas dimensões da democratização do ensino superior, essa dissertação analisa como os cursinhos populares, enquanto expressões modernas de mobilização social e educação inclusiva, se entrelaçam com esses conceitos. Por meio da análise dos dados coletados, o estudo busca lançar luz sobre como essas iniciativas refletem e influenciam a ascensão social e a democratização da educação no sistema de ingresso ao Ensino Superior brasileiro. Além disso, a pesquisa destaca que o conceito de cursinhos populares ainda está sendo moldado pela atual produção científica, mas já emerge como uma interconexão entre ascensão social e intelectual. Contudo, simultaneamente, esse conceito traz à tona dilemas do capitalismo contemporâneo e desafios concernentes à sustentabilidade dessas iniciativas em um contexto de mudanças de governos e políticas públicas de educação brasileiras.
Hemotrópicos y hemoparásitos: desde el microbioma, patobionte y patógenos sanguíneos
Authors: Jaramillo-Hernández Dumar Alexander , Acero Plazas Victor Manuel
Published: September 2024

Thrusfield (2018), padre de la epidemiología veterinaria, estableció una definición para enfermedad, donde un animal estaba enfermo cuando este no alcanzaba los parámetros zootécnicos – productivos de su especie, raza y condiciones de producción preestablecidas. Dejando claro que la presencia per se de un agente asociado al patobionte o agente patogénico, no es sinónimo de enfermedad (Mazmanian et al., 2008). Aquí es donde la Teoría Ecológica se utiliza cada vez más para explicar los fenómenos observados en las interacciones microbio-microbio y microbio-hospedero (Gilbert & Lynch, 2019). Ahora, la vida definida como una actividad sistémica que cataliza la conversión de entropía en información, es decir, la energía se degrada (interacción huésped-parásito-simbiosis) (Margalef, 1992), permite entender la complejidad del término “parásito”, agente el cual tiene una dependencia fisiológica y ecológica del hospedero, él cual le proporciona hábitat y recursos para su ciclo de vida (Combes, 2001). Por esta razón, se estima que el número de especies parásitas es alrededor de 4 veces mayor que el de los taxones de vida libre (Zimmer, 2000). Aunque las parasitosis, enfermedades asociadas a parásitos, pueden desencadenar extinción de otras especies (Cunningham & Daszak, 1998), también están asociadas con biodiversidad, resiliencia de ecosistemas y conservacionismo de otras especies (Thomas et al., 2005).

OBJECTIVE

The potential for choline metabolism to influence the development of diabetes has received increased attention. Previous studies on circulating choline metabolites and incident diabetes have been conducted in samples of older adults, often with a high prevalence of risk factors.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Participants were from year 15 of follow-up (2000-2001) in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study (n = 3,133, aged 33–45 years) with plasma choline metabolite (choline, betaine, and trimethylamine N-oxide [TMAO]) data. We quantified associations between choline metabolites and 15-year risk of incident diabetes (n = 387) among participants free of diabetes at baseline using Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for sociodemographics, health behaviors, and clinical variables.

RESULTS

Betaine was inversely associated with 15-year risk of incident diabetes (hazard ratio 0.76 [95% CI 0.67, 0.88] per 1-SD unit betaine), and TMAO was positively associated with 15-year risk of incident diabetes (1.11 [1.01, 1.22] per 1-SD unit). Choline was not significantly associated with 15-year risk of incident diabetes (1.05 [0.94, 1.16] per 1-SD).

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings are consistent with other published literature supporting a role for choline metabolism in diabetes. Our study extends the current literature by analyzing a racially diverse population-based cohort of early middle-aged individuals in whom preventive activities may be most relevant.
Comparison between Different Nanomaterials Used in Waste Treatment
Authors: Kumar Sudesh
Published: September 2024

India has rapidly urbanized during the past 30 years, adding 260 million people between 1990 and 2021. World population expansion increases energy and material use, causing environmental damage. This article uses literature and experiments to examine India's waste material potential for sustainable energy production. Scientific treatment of Indian MSW is part of the Ministry of Urban Development's several schemes such as Swachh Bharat Mission. Most successful waste-to-energy technologies, such as gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, and land-gas recovery, were developed in developed countries to handle segregated waste, including biodegradable and hazardous options. Urban local bodies (ULBs) in India face significant challenges in managing solid waste (SWM), particularly in high-population metro cities. Nanotechnology is a versatile, profitable, and eco-friendly option for generating energy from trash. Nanotechnology can improve the environment by directly detecting, preventing, and removing pollutants and indirectly by improving industrial design and producing environmentally friendly products. Nanoparticles' small size and high surface increase reactivity. While this trait has many benefits and applications, it may pose concerns to personnel and the environment, such as long-term suspension in the air, environmental accumulation, easy absorption, and organ damage. This review examined nanotechnology's use in waste management, air pollution control, water treatment, and nanomaterial safety..
Mapping the dynamics between violence and alcohol outlets in Scotland using data from ambulance services.
Authors: McVie Susan , Morales-Gomez Ana
Published: September 2024

ObjectiveIn Scotland, the link between alcohol consumption and violent crime remains a significant concern. This study aims to explore the association between assault-related incidents captured by health services in Scotland and the availability and density of alcohol premises in Scotland.
ApproachScotland has experienced an overall decline in violence in the last years; however, this trend varies significantly across different regions. Research has shown the importance of analysing the spatial and social contexts in which violence occurs. Using linked administrative data from ambulance services and a geographically aggregated dataset of the location of licensed outlets selling alcohol, we explore the link between place, alcohol premises densities and violence using regression models.
ResultsOur findings show that violent incidents are concentrated in the most deprived areas and places with higher availability of alcohol premises. However, areas with a higher number of off-sales premises showed a higher prevalence of violent incidents than those with a higher number of on-sales premises. In addition, violent incidents exhibit an uptick during weekends, evenings, and early mornings, suggesting a link to the night-time economy.
Conclusions and ImplicationsThe persistence of violence in Scotland, particularly in deprived areas with high concentrations of alcohol outlets, emphasise the need for public policies and interventions aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of alcohol-related violence. Data linkage between health services and police can contribute to understanding the spatial and social contexts in which violence occurs and could inform the design of focused crime prevention and public health approaches.

Forest fires are a serious problem for the entire society and cause significant damage. Often, fires severely destroy the forest ecosystem and threaten the safety of entire settlements. The main cause of ignition in forest areas is the human factor. Therefore, one of the most crucial measures to prevent forest fires is the improvement of the population’s awareness in this sphere. Another important measure is the introduction of a special annual fire safety regime when additional fire safety requirements and restrictions are applied to the population. In order to reduce ignition in forest areas, it is required to forecast the number of forest fires by comparing the statistical data available with various indices affecting forest fires and, therefore, develop more efficient measures to prevent forest fires in the future. The article determines the indices most significantly affecting the increase of forest fires based on the example of the Kemerovo region — Kuzbass. The analysis of statistical data affecting their occurrence and spread provides a number of conclusions. Most significantly, the number of forest fires is affected by monthly average temperatures in April and May; the increase in these indices causes the growth of the number of ignitions. The total fire area is affected most by the promptness of fire extinguishing; i.e., the higher the percentage of fires extinguished in the first 24 hours, the smaller the total area. The amount of funding for fire safety measures is inversely proportional to the number of fire areas; the increase in funding facilitates the reduction of the number and scale of ignitions. The detected dependencies enable forecasting the probable number of forest fires and their areas for the forthcoming period. Therefore, in accordance with the trend analysis, in 2024, approximately 42 forest fires of 2000 ha total area can be expected under the current tendencies. In order to prevent forest fires and minimize their consequences, a comprehensive approach including preventive measures, sufficient funding for forest protection, prompt response to ignitions, and educating the public on fire safety matters in forests is required. Only the combination of all these measures will efficiently address the threat of forest fires.
SAF Implementation in 2027: A Case Study of Indonesia
Authors: Akbar Ibrahim , Sarjono Putro Utomo
Published: September 2024

Indonesia has a vision to reach net zero emissions in 2060. To reach the target set, the Indonesian government generates Enhance National Determined Contribution (ENDC). One of the activities on ENDC that is set to reduce emissions is using biofuel. Biofuel in the aviation industry is widely known as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Indonesia already conducts test flights using SAF produced by SOE, PT Pertamina (group), to showcase Indonesia’s capabilities in producing SAF. The next step after conducting the test flight is preparing the implementation plan. Led by the Ministry of Maritime and Investigation, the current roadmap for SAF implementation is being made, including the implementation strategy. The study was conducted by assessing PESTLE analysis and Porter 5’s Forces analysis to understand existing conditions in Indonesia. Then, the scenario planning is generated by collecting data from in-depth interviews with all stakeholders involved, such as jet fuel producers and suppliers, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Transportation, aircraft OEM, academics, and airlines in Indonesia. Eleven driving forces were identified in this study. Four scenarios are generated by combining the most impactful driving force, the SAF price, and the most uncertain driving force, the regulations for airlines. The desired scenario for the future is determined by the interviewee and then marked as an ideal condition in the future.

This paper aims to discuss liberalism in the development of non-formal education. Liberalism is a part that can develop non-formal education. Indeed individualism, rsionalism, freedom and responsibility are the ideals championed by liberalism, although in real practice the ideal values referred to by liberalism have not been fully realized. Non-formal education is education whose implementation is outside the formal channels that have flexibility in its implementation, therefore liberalism is an understanding that emphasizes freedom but still within the limits of reasonable freedom that is still bound by rules. In the implementation of non-formal education, liberalism is very good to apply where citizens can freely determine what they need without being bound by the system or rules. So it should be in non-formal education that this liberalism is used so that learning citizens can freely make their choicesKeywords: Liberalism, Non-Formal Education

Authors: Putri Sindy Amelia , Zilrahmi  , Permana Dony , Fitria Dina
Published: September 2024

The human development index (HDI) is a measure of the success of development in a country. Indonesia as a developing country in 2022 has an HDI value that ranks 112 out of a total of 193 countries in the world. This indicates that there is an urgent need for evaluation in increasing the HDI value in Indonesia which leads to an increase in the quality of human development. The evaluation can be done using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) analysis method. With 34 Indonesian provinces as observations, there are three dimensions as variables analyzed in this paper, namely economy, education, and health. These variables are analyzed based on each indicator variable. The results of the analysis show that in the economic variable, the influential indicators are the Open Unemployment Rate, GRDP per Capita at Constant Prices, and Average Wage per Hour Worker. Then in the education variable, the influential indicators are the School Participation Rate Age 7-12, the School Participation Rate Age 13-15, the Pure Enrollment Rate for Elementary/Middle School/Package A, the Pure Enrollment Rate for Junior High School/MTs/Package B, and the Pure Enrollment Rate for Senior High School/SMK/MA/Package C. Furthermore, in the health variable, there are indicators of the Percentage of Households by Province and Source of Adequate Drinking Water, and the Percentage of Ever-Married Women Aged 15-49 Years whose Last Childbirth Processed in a Health Facility which affect the value of HDI in Indonesia in 2023.
Disciplinary responsibility of magistrates in the modern legal system: procedural aspects
Authors: Germak K.O.
Published: September 2024

The disciplinary responsibility of judges requires constitutional and legal reforms to adapt it to the needs of the rule of law, which is based on the full independence and impartiality of judges and the full enjoyment of fundamental rights of all, with particular attention to due process. Disciplinary liability is an official response to actions committed by a judge which compromise him or her as a judge, regardless of whether they are committed in court in the exercise of his or her powers or outside of court. The author analyses the legal and practical aspects of bringing judges to disciplinary liability based on the study of the High Council of Justice’s practice regarding disciplinary misconduct of judges. The status of a judge requires not only special control over his/her own behaviour, but also appropriate actions by the State, since the authority of the judiciary and its support are still a matter of State concern - court decisions are proclaimed in the name of the State. The efficiency of the judicial system depends on various factors, one of which is disciplinary liability. The need to improve the legal and procedural aspects of bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility has been repeatedly pointed out by doctrinal approaches to the study of this issue, as well as by the conclusions of international experts.The European Court of Human Rights has also indicated the expediency of reforming the system of disciplinary responsibility of judges in its decision.
The grounds for disciplinary liability of judges for violation of substantive and procedural law provided for by national legislation should continue to be enshrined in Article 106 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On the Judicial System and Status of Judges’.
Some aspects of interaction between the state and civil society: constitutional and legal characteristics
Authors: Falchenko S.B.
Published: September 2024

The article clarifies the forms of interaction between the state and civil society, its constitutional and legal characteristics, the role of public control in the interaction between the state and civil society, as well as the role of public control in the implementation of judicial reform and reform of law enforcement agencies. It was concluded that a modern legal state in crisis conditions must strictly adhere to constitutional principles, exercise effective control over compliance with the legitimate purpose of measures restricting human rights and freedoms, and also exercise effective communication with civil society. Thus, under any conditions, it is necessary to strive for the establishment of democracy and balance of interests following the best traditions of European constitutionalism. We single out such forms of interaction between the state and civil society as: 1) Public control by civil society institutions over the activities of public authorities as one of the forms; 2) Involvement of civil society institutions in the implementation of legal reform and formation of public authorities; 3) Delegation of certain functions by the state to institutions of civil society; 4) State funding of civil society institutions. This list is certainly not exhaustive. Various forms of interaction between civil society institutions and the state can and do exist.
It is concluded that the reception of European legal experience is of great importance for the optimization of human rights guarantees and effective interaction of the state and institutions in civil society. Its components are the harmonization of national legislation and bringing it into line with international standards, transnational participation in the work of international organizations, which is provided for in Article 18 of the Basic Law, cooperation between the state and public institutions through the application of European democratic governance models. Implementation of the above in practice will allow us to effectively face today’s challenges. Effective guarantees of the existence of a sovereign constitutional state, which reduce the risk of the negative impact of a crisis situation, can be created only by ensuring the comprehensive cooperation of state institutions and civil society.
Defence of intellectual property: history of development and prospects for improvement in modern Ukraine
Authors: Kholiavka S.V.
Published: September 2024

Intellectual property law is a relatively new institution in Ukrainian law. As of today, the fundamental issues of intellectual property have remained debatable and in need of updating and improvement. The difficulties with the legal regulation of intellectual property are connected both with the constantly expanding range of objects and with the increase in the scope of rights and freedoms of participants in civil and economic turnover. No less important issues of effective regulation of the national intellectual property system have been related to the Association agreement between the European Union and its member states, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part. Also, in Ukraine, a whole series of problems of legal regulation of intellectual property is caused by a significant historical period during which intangible objects as an economic category did not exist, and therefore did not require protection. After the restoration of the independence of our State, the development of legislation on the defence of intellectual property began.
Building an effective intellectual property system in Ukraine is an important stage and prerequisite for the integration of our country into the European community. After the restoration of Ukraine’s independence, our legislation in the field of intellectual property underwent serious changes and reforms.
The Constitution of Ukraine provided that citizens are guaranteed freedom of literary, artistic, scientific and technical creativity, protection of intellectual property, their copyrights, moral and material interests arising in connection with various types of intellectual activity. Every citizen has the right to the results of his intellectual and creative activity; no one can use or distribute them without his consent, with exceptions established by law. Intellectual property relations in Ukraine are regulated by both national legislation and international legal acts. The terms «protection» and «defence», which are often used interchangeably, are not identical. At the same time, the prospects for improving the legislation of Ukraine on the protection of intellectual property include its harmonization with the law of the European Union.

Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of the property right to land on the territory of Ukraine during the state of war. Emphasis is placed on the fact that, despite the guarantee of land ownership proclaimed by the Constitution of Ukraine, the full-scale invasion significantly affected almost all spheres of public life.
This influence is also observed in the implementation of the provisions of the Land Code of Ukraine, in particular regarding the implementation of the right to free privatization of land. It is determined that on November 19, 2022, amendments were made to Subclause 5, Clause 27 of Chapter X of the Land Code of Ukraine which has prohibited the free transfer of state and communal land into private ownership from now on.
It is indicated that, as an exception, free privatization is allowed for those owners on whose land plots are located real estate objects, as well as in the case of free privatization of plots transferred for use before the entry into force of the specified changes.
Particular attention is paid to the issues of ensuring the ownership ofland of military personnel, whose free privatization is also guaranteed by the Laws of Ukraine “On social and legal protection of military personnel and members of their families” and “On the status of war veterans, guarantees of their social protection.”
The relevant judicial practice, which is devoted to the issue of recognition of illegal negligence regarding the failure to consider within the time limits specified by law requests for a permit for the development of a land management project or for the approval of a land management project and appeals against the refusal of the subject of authority to grant a permit for the development of a land management project / approval of a land management project, has been analyzed.
It is proven that the provisions of Subclause 5, Clause 27 of Chapter X “Transitional Provisions” of the Land Code are an additional legal basis for refusing to grant permits for the development of land management projects or approving land management projects and granting ownership of land plots.

Розвиток творчої самостійності у студентів художньо-педагогічних спеціальностей
Authors: Спасскова Олена Павлівна
Published: September 2024

Стаття презентує результати теоретичного дослідження проблеми розвитку творчої самостійності у студентів художньо-педагогічних спеціальностей. Автором розглянуто основні проблеми розвитку творчої самостійності як особистісної якості випускників художньо-педагогічних напрямів, а також можливі шляхи вирішення цих проблем. До уваги береться насамперед організація освітнього процесу як основний чинник розвитку творчої самостійності студентів як їхньої особистісної якості. Також окрема увага приділяється проблемному навчанню. Зазначається, що проблемне навчання полягає у створенні перед студентами проблемних ситуацій, в усвідомленні й формулюванні проблеми, що випливає із цієї ситуації, вирішенні цієї проблеми у процесі спільної діяльності студентів і викладача. Важливою умовою проблемного навчання є максимальна самостійність студентів, але під загальним керівництвом викладача. Показано, що важливим чинником для розвитку активної творчої самостійності студентів уважається активна творча діяльність самого викладача. Творча реалізація педагога саме як художника мотивує студентів до власної реалізації в обраному художньому напрямі. Прищепити смак до творчості, самореалізації в художніх видах мистецтва, підтримати студентів у цьому напрямі, залучити їх до активної виставкової діяльності може тільки педагог-наставник. З’ясовано, що реалізація творчої самостійної діяльності передбачає виникнення в особистості оригінального, принципово нового рішення проблеми. Збільшення частки активних, творчих методів і форм роботи у виші серйозним чином підвищує ініціативність і активність студентів у навчальному процесі, розвиває схильність до креативних видів діяльності, формує творчі вміння, досвід професійної діяльності, як наслідок, забезпечує ефективність розвитку творчої самостійності.
