Criminalistics characteristics of arms trafficking offences committed by organised groups and criminal organisations
Authors: Veliiev R. E.
Published: January 2025

The article identifies which criminal offences fall into the category of those related to illicit arms trafficking and are the most common in the recorded proportion of criminal offences committed by organised groups and criminal organisations. These include, in particular, criminal offences under Articles 201, 262, 263, 263-1, 264, 410, 411 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The author also emphasises the need to include here also those crimes provided for in Articles 269 and 440 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, but given that they are not common in the recorded number of crimes and criminal offences, it is justified that it is inexpedient to study them in depth.
The elements of the forensic characterisation of crimes in the field of illegal arms trafficking committed by organised groups and criminal organisations which have significant forensic significance include: the method of committing the crime, the object of the crime, the circumstances of the crime (including the situation at the scene), traces, characteristics of the leader and other members of the criminal association.
It is established that the method of committing crimes in the field of firearms trafficking involving organised groups and criminal organisations is a full-structured one. It is also found that in most cases it includes actions of preparation, direct commission and concealment. Moreover, it is determined that the setting of these crimes includes information about the place and time of preparation for the commission of a criminal offence, as well as the setting of the place of commission and concealment. However, it is emphasised that the trace picture is not always characterised by a significant number of material traces, but it is characterised mainly by ideal traces-reflections preserved in people's memory. With regard to the characteristics of the personalities of criminal groups, the author emphasises that this issue is quite complex and therefore requires further research.
Representation of an aggrieved legal entity that has suffered damage as a result of a criminal offence at the stage of pre-trial investigation
Authors: Iemets I. O.
Published: January 2025

The article defines the concept and essence of representation of a legal entity in respect of which a criminal offence or a socially dangerous act has been committed. It is proposed that representation of a legal entity in respect of which a criminal offence or a socially dangerous act has been committed should be understood as a type of procedural activity of a legally authorized entity whose powers are duly certified and consist in ensuring the exercise of rights and obligations of this legal entity. It is determined that the essence of the activities of a legal entity's representative corresponds to the activities of a victim in criminal proceedings, since the involved representative enjoys the rights and obligations guaranteed by law to the victim. That is, at the stage of pre-trial investigation, he or she is authorised to file statements and complaints, submit evidence, participate in investigative (search) and procedural actions, receive copies of criminal proceedings and procedural decisions, etc.
This article establishes that representation of legal entities in criminal proceedings requires two grounds: factual, which implies that a criminal offence has been committed against a legal entity which caused property damage, and legal, which implies the existence of a relevant document provided for in Part 3 of Article 58 of the CPC of Ukraine, by which a specific person is authorised to take actions aimed at exercising the rights and legitimate interests of a legal entity.
The textual analysis of the provisions of Part 1 of Art. 303 of the CPC of Ukraine provided the basis for stating that the wording used by the legislator in paragraph 1, in particular, regarding the possibility of appealing against the inaction of an investigator, detective, or prosecutor, which consists in the failure to perform other procedural actions which he or she is obliged to perform within the time limit specified by the CPC of Ukraine, is incorrect. The emphasis is placed on the fact that, given the laws of formal logic, it may be subject to an extended interpretation, and therefore is the basis for the formation of ambiguous case law. In addition, the typical mistakes made by persons involved in representation of a legal entity are summarised.
Determination of the market value for goods in the process of forensic commodity expertise
Authors: Solonichenko L. A. , Sereda D. Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the important issue of determining the market value of goods in forensic commodity expertise. This process is crucial for ensuring the objectivity of court decisions in commercial and civil disputes. The study focuses on the development of methodological approaches that allow obtaining accurate valuation results despite economic instability and unpredictable market changes.
The emphasis is placed on the need to create unified valuation methodologies that include comparative, cost and income methods. The combination of these approaches increases the objectivity and reliability of expert opinions, especially when the use of one method is limited by the specifics of the product or the lack of comparative data. In an unstable economic situation and under the influence of external factors, such as military operations, the unification of valuation approaches and the integration of modern digital technologies are becoming particularly relevant. This allows not only to increase objectivity, but also to automate the process of analysing market data, which helps speed up expert procedures.
The article highlights the problems that arise when performing examinations in the absence of access to goods, for example, due to their destruction or presence in the occupied territories. In such cases, retrospective valuation methods are used, which take into account the economic situation at a certain date in the past. It is also noted that the integration of international experience will help to improve the efficiency of forensic commodity expertise in Ukraine and ensure that expert activity complies with international standards.
Finally, the study provides proposals for improving the regulatory framework for expert activity and introducing innovative technologies, which allows solving current problems of market valuation under martial law.

Published: January 2025

The presented study is aimed at determining the current state of the legal context and legal consequences of the formulation of certain components of unilateral copyright statements on websites. In the research process, such methods as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, methods of generalization, study of documentation and methods of descriptive statistics were used.
In order to interpret various options of legal aspects of the use of the mentioned statement, an empirical study was conducted which included the study of the main web pages of scientific institutions that receive state support in 2024. The study was conducted in November 2024. The web page availability and order validity with marker “valid” filters were used. The original sample was reduced because about 10 % of the websites listed in the document were not functional and some appeared twice in the document. The final sample consisted of 121 websites.
The choice of websites of scientific institutions is justified by two factors: the specifics of the activity, which involves the generation of large volumes of original works and the paradigm of open science which imposes new requirements on copyright management.
It has been established that the use of a unilateral copyright statements is quite complex and debatable. Trends in the wording of copyright statements on websites belonging to Ukrainian scientific institutions have been determined. The legal context and legal consequences of the formulation of certain components of unilateral copyright statements on websites in the projection of current regulation have been established. Based on such data, a generalized assessment of the legal responsibility of website owners in the context of the raised issue has been provided. The prospect of further exploration is to investigate the behaviour patterns and the level of legal responsibility of users in connection with unilateral statements of website owners.
Psycholinguistic analysis of persuasive effectiveness in court speeches: theoretical foundations and linguistic aspects
Authors: Lyaska O. P. , Kshevetskyi V. S.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the psycholinguistic analysis of the persuasive effectiveness of court speeches, in particular, the theoretical foundations and linguistic aspects of this process. The key elements of language used in court discourse are considered, with an emphasis on their influence on the thoughts, emotions and decisions of the participants in the process.
Despite the significant number of studies on rhetoric in the legal context, the psycholinguistic impact of language techniques on the cognitive and emotional reactions of participants in court proceedings remains insufficiently studied. The article focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of various linguistic techniques, such as metaphors, epithets and repetition, as well as their ability to influence the perception of evidence and arguments.
Particular attention is paid to the role of language in shaping legal consciousness and decision-making in court. This study fills a gap in knowledge about how language strategies contribute to effective persuasion and how their study can improve legal practice and the quality of trials.
The article analyses how the psycholinguistic aspects of language are used to manipulate the emotions and cognitive processes of participants in the trial, in particular, judges and jurors. It is noted that the language of court speeches performs not only an informational but also a persuasive function, since it can influence the emotional state of listeners, modify their opinion about evidence and arguments, and form a general perception of the case. Particular emphasis is placed on the study of the effectiveness of such linguistic techniques as emphasis on emotionally charged words, rhetorical questions, the use of metaphors and other stylistic devices that increase the strength of argumentation.
Given these factors, the author proposes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of persuasion in courtroom speech, combining elements of philology, legal psychology and communication sciences. The results of the study may be useful not only for academics but also for legal practitioners, as they provide specific recommendations for improving the effectiveness of courtroom speeches. Therefore, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of language in court proceedings and opens up new opportunities for improving legal practice by optimising language strategies.
Leader’s management decision-making style and emotional intelligence of higher education students studying in the speciality “Law Enforcement”
Authors: Kharchenko S. V. , Koldashov O. V.
Published: January 2025

Leadership qualities are a complex set of cognitive properties, personal qualities and behavioural skills. It is relevant to study how the leader's style of decision-making and emotional intelligence abilities are related to future law enforcement officers.
The empirical study involved 40 higher education students studying in the senior years of the Military Law Institute of the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, specialising in law enforcement.
The following psychodiagnostic techniques were used: the questionnaire “Assessment of Management Decision-Making Styles” and the test “Emotional Intelligence”. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using Spearman’s rank correlation and Mann-Whitney U test.
Three styles of managerial decision-making were identified in the surveyed cadets: 35 % had a conniving style, 25 % had a marginal style, and 20 % had a situational style. The other participants of the study did not have a leading style of managerial decision-making.
It has been found that the highest level of emotional intelligence is in the group of respondents with the style of managerial decision-making “indulgence”, and the lowest level of emotional intelligence is in the group of cadets with the situational style of managerial decision-making. It has also been revealed that a leader with developed emotional intelligence is not focused on emphasising his or her status as a leader, but, on the contrary, provides a certain freedom of action to his or her subordinates.
It has been noted that the developed components of emotional intelligence are important, but not decisive, for making managerial decisions by future law enforcement officers. The developed emotional intelligence of a leader contributes to his/her choice of such poles of managerial decision-making as “liberal” and “production of a problem situation (decision-making situation)”. A leader’s developed emotional intelligence is to some extent related to self-confidence, high motivation to achieve, and responsibility for the actions of subordinates.
It has been suggested that in the process of psychological training future law enforcement officers should develop such a component of emotional intelligence as understanding of emotions, which increases the likelihood of favourable options for making managerial decisions by leaders.

Authors: БРАНІЦЬКА Тетяна , ШПОРТУН Оксана , ЛОГУТІНА Наталія
Published: January 2025

Мета дослідження – проаналізувати вплив типології DISC на ефективність управлінських процесів і виявити шляхи адаптації управлінських підходів залежно від особистісних характеристик працівників. Це дослідження є актуальним у сучасному управлінні персоналом, оскільки застосування психологічних інструментів, таких як DISC, дозволяє підвищити продуктивність і мотивацію працівників, а також зменшити рівень конфліктів у колективі. У статті досліджено типологію DISC, яка включає чотири основні типи поведінки: Домінантний (D), Впливовий (I), Стабільний (S) та Сумлінний (C). Кожен з типів має власні особливості у стилі комунікації, способах взаємодії, реакції на стресові ситуації та мотиваційні потреби, що безпосередньо впливають на динаміку командної роботи та результативність. Методологія дослідження базується на поєднанні загальнопсихологічних принципів (єдності психіки і діяльності, розвитку, системності) з конкретно-тематичними підходами, зокрема на принципах індивідуального психологічного підходу до персоналу та адаптації моделей DISC до особливостей командної роботи. Для аналізу ефективності впровадження типології використовувалися методи емпіричного дослідження, включаючи опитування та тестування співробітників різних типів особистості (домінантного, впливового, стабільного та аналітичного). У процесі аналізу вивчено поведінкові характеристики та реакції працівників на основі типології DISC, що дозволяє керівникам краще розподіляти завдання, створювати індивідуальні стратегії для кожного типу, підтримувати зворотний зв’язок і розробляти оптимальні умови для командної взаємодії. Наукова новизна роботи полягає в узагальненні методів інтеграції DISC в управлінську діяльність, а також у наданні рекомендацій щодо адаптації управлінських стратегій з урахуванням типологічних особливостей працівників. Це сприяє підвищенню ефективності, зміцненню корпоративної культури та зменшенню кількості конфліктів, що є важливим для організацій, які орієнтовані на сталий розвиток. Висновки. Результати дослідження свідчать, що впровадження типології DISC допомагає керівникам краще зрозуміти особливості поведінки співробітників, що дозволяє персоналізувати підходи до мотивації, комунікації та управління конфліктами. Це, у свою чергу, позитивно впливає на продуктивність команди та загальну ефективність управлінських процесів. Перспективи подальших досліджень охоплюють поглиблене вивчення впливу DISC у різних сферах діяльності та розробку інтегрованих підходів до роботи з персоналом на основі типології DISC.
АСЕРТИВНІСТЬ ЯК КЛЮЧОВИЙ ФАКТОР ГАРМОНІЗАЦІЇ ВЗАЄМИН У СОЦІУМІ
Authors: КОМАР Таїсія , СИНЮК Віталій
Published: January 2025

Мета статті полягає в дослідженні ролі асертивності у формуванні гармонійної особистості, здатної до ефективної соціальної інтеграції та успішної комунікації. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на системному підході, який включає аналіз структурних компонентів асертивної поведінки (когнітивно-смислового, афективного та поведінкового), їх взаємозв’язку з емоційною компетентністю та соціальною адаптацією. Використано теоретичний аналіз наукових джерел щодо впливу соціокультурних і професійних чинників на розвиток асертивності. Наукова новизна полягає у визначенні ролі асертивності як ключового чинника гармонійного розвитку особистості, що сприяє ефективній комунікації, вирішенню конфліктів та побудові здорових міжособистісних стосунків. Висновки. Асертивність має велике значення в професійній діяльності, міжособистісних стосунках і особистісному розвитку. Вона дозволяє ефективно комунікувати, будувати здорові стосунки та знижувати конфлікти. Особливо важлива вона в контексті розвитку молоді, оскільки в цей період завершується формування психофізичних і особистісних якостей. Для ефективного розвитку асертивності важливі самоаналіз, усвідомлення власних прав та обов'язків, а також здатність до компромісу. Розвиток цієї якості допомагає людині стати впевненішою, незалежнішою і краще адаптованою до соціального середовища, забезпечуючи гармонійне поєднання особистих інтересів і соціальної відповідальності. Асертивність виступає основою психологічної стійкості, соціальної адаптації та успішного самовираження особистості. Особи, які розвивають асертивність, не лише захищають свої права, але й беруть відповідальність за свої дії, що в свою чергу дозволяє зберігати гармонійні стосунки з іншими. Соціокультурні контексти визначають специфіку проявів асертивної поведінки, що особливо важливо у професійній сфері, де ця якість сприяє підвищенню ефективності взаємодії. Подальші дослідження можуть зосереджуватися на розробці методик розвитку асертивності у навчальних і професійних середовищах, враховуючи вікові та культурні особливості.
МЕТОДИКА ФОРМУВАННЯ ПОЧУТТЯ ГУМОРУ В ДІТЕЙ СТАРШОГО ДОШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ
Authors: ПИСАРЧУК Оксана , ГЛАВАЦЬКА Ольга , РАТУШНЯК Наталія
Published: January 2025

У статті зазначено, що у центрі сучасної освітньої взаємодії дитина, з її нахилами, обдаруваннями, талантами, індивідуальністю, здібностями, які істотно вирізняють кожну особистість у колективі дітей. Мета – узагальнити і систематизувати методику виховання почуття гумору (форми, методи і прийоми, засоби і технології) у дітей старшого дошкільного віку в цілісному освітньому процесі. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на поєднанні психологічного, педагогічного та культурологічного аналізу феномена почуття гумору у старших дошкільників; акмеологічного підходу для дослідження розвитку гумору як ключової характеристики соціально-емоційної зрілості дитини; ігровому підході, за яким зроблено акцент на ігрових формах діяльності, які є провідною формою взаємодії у дошкільному віці. Наукова новизна полягає в тому, що визначено «почуття гумору старших дошкільників» як здатність дитини 6(7)-го року життя помічати і сприймати гумор, конструювати та поширювати комічне іншим, емоційно реагувати, оцінювати та виражати емоційно-почуттєве ставлення до нього. Обґрунтовано наскрізну й цілісну методику виховання почуття гумору в старших дошкільників, яка реалізується: в організованій навчально-пізнавальній діяльності, у культурно-дозвіллєвих практиках у формі свят і розваг, під час самостійної вільної діяльності дітей тощо. Упорядковано й систематизовано інноваційні засоби виховання почуття гумору у дітей старшого дошкільного віку до яких належать: гуморини у родинному колі, вебквести-розваги, гумористичні настільні ігри, створення коміксів, збір та узагальнення дитячих кумедних вчинків, ситуацій, історій з реального життя дітей, веселі пісні та танці-жарти сучасних авторів та композиторів, гумористичні театралізовані інтерактивні вистави тощо. Висновки. Узагальнено, що сюжетно-ігрові гумористичні заняття суттєво підвищують пізнавальний інтерес, стимулюють активність дітей, мобілізують їх увагу, зосередженість, а тому можуть тривати дещо більше часу, ніж традиційне заняття. Підсумовано, що органічно вплетений гумор в зміст і форму настільних ігор сприяє успішному й швидкому засвоєнню норм ігрової поведінки, адже правила дітям пропонує наче сама гра, а отже, процес їх засвоєння відбувається на позитивних емоціях та мотивах.

The study characterises the spatial distribution of a selection of nutrients from the literature review. A relationship is also
established between the selected nutrients and chlorophyll a, which is characteristic of the trophic level of a water body. We
used data from water withdrawals during the high and low water seasons, linked to specific coordinates, but also surveys of 36
producers around the shores of the lake.
Our results show different levels of nutrients in the water body, modelled according to the lake's right of way. The spatial
distribution of aquatic species is also disparate, as they are strongly correlated with these nutrients, and the distribution of
nutrients in the water body depends on seasonality and parameters and the presence of macrophytes according to the presence
of nutrients. As for the farmers, 100% of them use chemical fertilisers and organic manure in their production. These practices
increase the presence of nutrients in the water body.
Our results confirm the fact that the spatial analysis of the distribution of nutrients in the water body is, on the one hand,
strongly linked to the agricultural activities around the shores of the lake and that they have an impact on the health of the
lake. This analysis will make it possible to understand and know the most influential and problematic nutrient for the proper
management of this water body.
The Soltan argument at redshift 6: UV-luminous quasars contribute less than 10% to early black hole mass growth
Authors: Jahnke Knud
Published: January 2025

We combine stellar mass functions and the recent first JWST-based galaxy-black hole scaling relations at z=6 to for the first time compute the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass volume density at this epoch, and compare this to the integrated SMBH mass growth from the population of UV-luminous quasars at z>6. We show that even under very conservative assumptions almost all growth of SMBH mass at z>6 does not take place in these UV-luminous quasars, but must occur in systems obscured through dust and/or with lower radiative efficiency than standard thin accretion disks. The ‘Soltan argument’ is not fulfilled by the known population of bright quasars at z>6: the integrated SMBH mass growth inferred from these largely unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early Universe is by a factor $$10 smaller than the total SMBH mass volume density at z=6. This is valid under a large range of assumption about luminosity, mass functions, and accretion modes, and is likely still a factor >2 smaller when accounting for known obscuration fractions at this epoch. The resulting consequences are: >90%, possibly substantially more, of SMBH-buildup in the early Universe does not take place in luminous unobscured quasar phases, but has to occur in obscured systems, with dust absorbing most of the emitted UV-visible AGN emission, potentially with accretion modes with super-Eddington specific accretion rates. This is consistent with short lifetimes for luminous quasar phases from quasar proximity zone studies and clustering. This would remove the empirical need for slow SMBH growth and hence exotic ‘high-mass seed’ black holes at early cosmic time. It also predicts a large population of luminous but very obscured lower-mass quasars at z>6, possibly the JWST ‘Little Red Dots’.

Authors: Omi Ononna Srabon , Akhtar Khursheda
Published: January 2025

Background: Nurses are more involve handling medical technological devices which is essential for cardiac treatment. There has been no published systematic review which has examined nurses’ Knowledge and practices on use of medical technological devices. To find out the level of Knowledge and practices on use of medical technological devices among nurses in specialized hospital. Methods: A descriptive type of cross-sectional study was conducted from January to December 2023 at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hospital (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Pretested self-administered questionnaire with Knowledge score; out of 30 questions and practice score; out of 24 questions and observational checklist also used. Score value awarded for wrong answer (0) and correct answer (1). A total of 230 nurses who fulfill the inclusion criteria were selected from different unit of hospital by using simple random sampling techniques. Result: The mean(±SD) age of the respondents was 35.45(±8.27) years. Among 230 respondents around one fifth of respondents had training and majority nurses did not receive any kind of training, consequently it was found that around one fourth of the respondents had low practice level and around one fifth nurses had extremely low knowledge. About one third nurses were used cleaners containing acetone to clean cardiac monitor. All over two third of respondents was correct practice on “Low Battery" warning of a defibrillator. The statistically significant associations were observed between both the duration of working experience in NICVD and the practice level (p= 0.017) Knowledge level (p < 0.0001) as well as the professional education and their practice level (p < 0.0001). A statistically significant correlations were found between knowledge and practice (r =.461**, p < 0.0001). Mann- Whitney U Test indicate that training influenced on knowledge and practice (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Nurses need adequate training on medical technological devices that will enhance their practical skills.

Authors: Rahman Md Arafat , Hossain Irin
Published: January 2025

Background: The steel industry is crucial to global infrastructure and economic growth, with rising demands fueled by urbanization and energy needs. In Bangladesh, the sector has grown significantly since the 1990s, but health risks for workers, such as stress-related disorders and hypertension, remain under-addressed. This study evaluates stress levels and blood pressure variations among re-rolling steel mill workers in Bangladesh, with the goal of guiding interventions to enhance worker health and occupational safety. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a re-rolling steel mill in the Thana area of Bangladesh to assess stress levels and blood pressure variations among workers with at least one year of experience. The study involved protocol development, data collection, and final report submission. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather socio-demographic information, perceived stress levels, and blood pressure measurements. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and statistical inference, with ethical considerations carefully observed throughout the study. Results: The study surveyed respondents aged 19-52 years with a mean age of 34.72±8.948 years, predominantly Muslim with a majority completing primary education. Most (48.8%) had monthly income with 8,000 to 12,000 taka while mechanical workers being the largest of working sections (41.8%). The study revealed that the majority of respondents (53%) experienced moderate perceived stress, while 45.6% reported low levels of stress. A small proportion of respondents, comprising only 1.4%, reported experiencing highly perceived stress. Conclusion: This study enhances our comprehension of the intricate relationship between occupational factors, psychosocial stress, and cardiovascular health outcomes in industrial environments, offering valuable insights for workplace health promotion and research.

LEGAL PROTECTION OF VICTIMS OF COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA
Authors: Tamba Samuel , Hafrida  , Herry Liyus
Published: January 2025

The crime of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (ESKA) is increasingly rife with the existence of social media as a means of transaction and promotion of children who are victims. However, there is currently a vacuum in regulations that specifically regulate legal protection of the rights of children victims of these crimes. This study aims to describe the applicable rules in protecting children victims of CSEC through social media and how legal policies will be in the future in handling these crimes. The research method used is normative juridical research. From the results of the study, it was found that there is more than one legal regulation that is currently used to protect child victims of commercial sexual exploitation crimes through social media, namely the Child Protection Law, the Pornography Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the Sexual Violence Criminal Law. Some of the obstacles in protecting CSEC victims include: 1) legal substance factors (overlapping laws and regulations that specifically regulate CSEC crimes through social media), 2) legal structure factors (there is no legal umbrella for investigators and public prosecutors to be able to quickly break the chain of dissemination of cases of commercial sexual exploitation of children on social media; 3) legal cultural factors (public awareness, lack of parental monitoring, and lack of sexual education in children). The suggestions for future legal policies include: 1) Revising the Child Protection Law and the ITE Law; 2) strengthen the authority of the Prosecutor's Office and the Police as investigators and public prosecutors to remove social media content containing commercial sexual exploitation of children from the investigation and prosecution stages; 3) Create a child-friendly complaint and reporting center that is easily accessible to child victims of sexual exploitation crimes.

This study focuses on the development strategies of Jumog Waterfall as a tourist attraction in Berjo Village, Ngargoyoso District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. Known as the "Lost Paradise," Jumog Waterfall offers a unique natural appeal with its pristine water sourced directly from Mount Lawu. The main objectives of this research are to identify the tourism potential of the waterfall, analyze the challenges faced by the local community in developing the site, and propose strategies for sustainable development. The research employs a qualitative approach, incorporating observational studies and semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders, including local residents, tourism managers, and visitors. The findings reveal that Jumog Waterfall possesses significant tourism potential due to its natural beauty, accessible facilities, and the active involvement of the local community. However, the development of this site is hindered by issues such as land ownership disputes, insufficient government support in training local entrepreneurs, and a lack of distinctive local products that could enhance the tourist experience. The study suggests that collaboration between the local government and the community is crucial to overcoming these challenges. Recommended strategies include improving infrastructure, offering training programs for local businesses, enhancing promotional efforts through digital platforms, and developing unique local products that reflect the cultural heritage of the area. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable tourism development in rural areas and underscores the importance of community participation in managing and preserving natural attractions. The findings are expected to inform policymakers and stakeholders involved in the tourism sector, ultimately fostering economic growth and improving the quality of life for the residents of Berjo Village.

The current geopolitical situation contributes to the formation of a regime in relation to the Russian economy aimed at its practical elimination from participation in foreign economic activity. In this regard, the country's leadership has formulated the task of creating a supply economy, according to which Russia should meet the needs of the population in strategic goods practically on its own. An important organizational structure of the functioning of the economy in such conditions are production and trade chains, which are undergoing changes in structure and efficiency in the process of development and dissemination of digital technologies. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the directions of digitalization of the functioning of value chains. The paper proposes a system for improving the organizational structure of supply chains, consisting of the following blocks: production, technological, logistics, service, financial support, managing (coordinating). The structure of each block of the chain is considered. It is shown how digitalization of production and trade chains through the introduction of integration platforms and digital technologies (artificial intelligence, data factory, metaverse) makes it possible to increase the efficiency of interaction between various industry processes. Proposals have been developed to improve the organizational structure, the system of information support for the functioning of value chains based on digital technologies, the system of formation, management and coordination of value chains within the framework of public-private partnership.

This scientific paper presents original research and the authors personal views on
the technical-economic and practical acceptance of pulley and inclined plane applications in
transport engineering. Engineering specialists appreciate that the active type experiment
carried out by practical determinations leads to concrete, important results in the field
addressed. In order to demonstrate theoretically and practically what the specialists say, we
have made a small-scale laboratory model in which we have experimented with situations
similar to those encountered in real life. In this way, we have presented the front end of
pulley systems used for lifting or towing damaged or damaged vehicles (motor vehicles) on
trailer trailers, which are common in transport engineering. In this way, those interested can
learn how these applications can be used in the laboratory but also in real life, the advantages
and concrete results obtained when applied. Other experiments and applications of the
laboratory mock-up are specified in the paper, in which the results, their usefulness, real-life
applicability, how certain measuring instruments are used, the units of measurement and their
conversions, as well as how to calculate the voltages occurring in lifting/pulling cables with
pulleys are presented. The scale model can be successfully used in the laboratories of art and
craft schools, high schools or colleges. In this way pupils or students can acquire practical
knowledge in car knowledge or road vehicle dynamics laboratories. At the end of the work,
conclusions in the field covered and further research directions are presented.
