Published: March 2023

Abstract: In order to address environmental issues, the automotive industry is moving in a significant direction towards hybrid vehicles. One of its primary drive system options is a switching reluctance motor (SRM). This article designs a brand-new SRM converter topology. The innovative converter can manage battery energy and implement multi-level control. The battery control circuit is created in a modular manner, allowing the number of battery modules (BMs) to be chosen based on system needs. A hybrid vehicle's driving conditions are used to separate the converter's status into five states and conduct detailed analyses of each. Ultimately, the novel converter's simulation model and testing platform are constructed. The findings of the simulation and experiment confirm the viability of various working modes of the system's fault tolerance and reliability have been considerably enhanced by the innovative converter topology and the ability to individually regulate each BM.

Authors: Kannan M. , Thangavel R.
Published: March 2023

Abstract: Agriculture is the backbone of a country and it plays a very important role in the economy. In the field of agriculture, it is very important to identify the disease of crops and its nature. Turmeric plant is a significant plant used in turmeric production, and turmeric powder is used as medicine for certain diseases and as an antiseptic. There are several pests and diseases with significant effects on turmeric yields and leaf spot disease (Curcuma longa) among the most significant ones. Leaf spot disease leads to large damages to the leaves. The disease initially emerges as small circular spots, then evolves instantly and spreads over the entire leaf surface. The disease ultimately ends up with complete die out of the leaves. The data base of different leaf images was created and processed using SFCM segmentation, and leaf images textural analysis was carried out using GLCM. The LDA-ANFIS classifier is used for classification method and it helps to improve the detection rate and reduce the entropy loss. It is highly efficient and accurate to detect the disease image with different number of categories (Leaf Spot, Leaf Blotch Disease and Bacterial Wilt Disease etc.). Experimental analysis is done to calculate the performance metric like as Accuracy, Precision, F measure, Recall, Sensitivity and Specificity. Then, the comparative analysis of the existing parameters is compared to the proposed algorithm parameters. The proposed system LDA-ANFIS algorithm performance value of accuracy is 98%.

Authors: Astuti Partiwi Dwi , Datrini Luh Kade , Chariri Anis
Published: March 2023

Increasing concern for environmental issues makes it important to investigate the relationship between green intellectual capital (GIC) and organisational sustainability (Yussof et al., 2019). GIC is considered a viable solution to sustainability issues (Jermsittiparsert, 2021). This study aims to examine the relationship between GIC, green human capital (GHC), green relational capital (GRC), green structural capital (GSC), with each dimension of corporate sustainable development (CSD) — social development (SD), economic development (ED), environmental development (EnD). This study used a sample of 168 medium-sized companies in Bali Province, Indonesia, and collected data using a direct questionnaire sent to the chief executive officers (CEOs). Data analysis employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) with WarpsPLS 8.0 software. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between GHC and GSC with each CSD dimension. The study also showed that GRC only had a significant positive relationship with ED, while SD and EnD were found to be positively insignificant. An important contribution of this study is to provide a new conception of the role of GIC in building a sustainable company and can increase understanding of the important role of GIC and stimulate managers’ interest in developing GIC to achieve sustainable results through the strategic management of GIC.
The significance of psychological safety — The exploration of a moderated-mediation model
Authors: Sun Tingting
Published: March 2023

Drawing on self-determination theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 2000, 2008a, 2008b, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2000, 2017, 2019; Ryan et al., 2019, 2021) and conservation of resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll, 1989, 2004, 2011), this study constructed an mindfulness employee involvement (M-EI) model to explore the mechanism of enhancing psychological safety (Edmondson, 1999; Edmondson & Lei, 2014; Dekker & Edmondson, 2022) by leveraging mindfulness (Baer et al., 2006; Hou et al., 2014; Kudesia, 2019) and employee involvement practices (Lawler, 1994; Riordan et al., 2005; Wood, 2020). Specifically, the study explored whether an organization or individuals are responsible for making people feel safe, as well as how COVID-19 lockdown practices could impact the above-mentioned mechanism. A quantitative survey was conducted and analysed via structural equation modelling. The regression results supported both a positive, direct correlation between mindfulness and psychological safety and an indirect correlation via employee involvement moderated (i.e., made less positive) by COVID-19 lockdown practices. Considering the uniqueness of Chinese culture, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) 18 with a better model fit was constructed as the measurement for mindfulness. It is important to leverage both intrinsic and extrinsic factors to enhance psychological safety levels, allowing better mental health, accumulated intrinsic motivation, and greater autonomy at work for sustainable growth.

Published: March 2023

Background: The effect of race, age, sex, atopy, environmental
exposures, and social determinants of health on total serum
immunoglobulin E (IgE) has not been examined in children with food
allergy. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis with
univariable and multivariable linear mixed effect models of data from
398 African American and European American children 0-12 years with
allergist-diagnosed food allergy from the multi-center, observational
cohort FORWARD; total serum IgE in kU/L was the primary outcome measure.
Results: Total serum IgE positively associated with African
American race ( p < .0001), older age ( p
< .0001), male sex ( p =. 0142), lower household income
( p = .0051), lower parent/caregiver education ( p =
.0051), allergic rhinitis ( p < .0001), asthma (
p < .0001), eczema ( p = .0240), and a higher
number of food allergies ( p < .0001), but not tobacco
smoke exposure. After covariate adjustment in multivariable analysis,
total serum IgE remained higher in African American than European
American ( p < .0001), older than younger ( p
< .0001), and male than female children and in children with
allergic rhinitis ( p = .0083), asthma ( p <
.0001), eczema ( p = .0140), and a higher number of food
allergies ( p < .0001). Conclusions: We provide
foundational data that total serum IgE varies by race in children with
food allergy; values were higher in African American than European
American children, independent of atopic status. These findings call
attention to the need to establish race-dependent values of total serum
IgE for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Published: March 2023

Background: Observational studies have linked various exposures
to ovarian cancer (OC) risk, but the findings are potential subject to
reverse causation and confounding. Herein, we performed comprehensive
Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to systematicly evaluate potential
causal associations of known and suspected influencing factors with risk
of OC and six common histotypes. Methods: Two-sample MR
analyses were applied to data from the genome wide association study
summary results comprising a total of 25,509 women with epithelial OC
and 40,941 controls of European descent in the Ovarian Cancer
Association Consortium. Genetic instrumental variables associated with
influencing factors were selected. Inverse-variance weighted method was
used as the primary analysis, and the MR assumptions were evaluated in
sensitivity analyses. MR-PRESSO method was applied for the detection and
correction of potential horizontal pleiotropy. Results: OC and
six histotypes were considered in this study. Of 100 known and suspected
influencing factors, 7 lifestyle factors, 12 dietary factors, 4
reproductive factors, 12 body size factors, 3 comobidities, and 7
biomarkers were significantly associated with risk of OC. Among them,
26, 9, 25, 19, 5, 13, and 22 factors were associated with the risk of
OC, clear cell OC, endometrioid OC, high grade serous OC, low grade
serous OC, mucinous OC, and low malignant potential OC respectively.
Conclusion: Our study adds to current knowledge on the causal
effect of known and suspected influencing factors on OC and six
histotypes. Further investigation is needed to better understand
potential pathways or mechanisms of these factors.
Precise Positioning of Autonomous Mobile Robots through a Fine-Tuned RNN
Authors: Mutti S. , Pedrocchi N. , Dimauro G.
Published: March 2023

The precise localization of mobile robots is of utmost importance for
many industrial applications, especially when the mobile robot is part
of a more complex kinematic chain, such as in a mobile manipulator.
Furthermore, precise localization hugely affects the outcome of tasks
that rely on an open-loop kinematic computation, such as work-station
docking procedures. To achieve a repeatable and precise localization and
positioning, mobile robots generally rely on onboard sensors, most
commonly 2D laser scanners, whose readings are subjected to noise and
numerous disturbing factors ( e.g., materials reluctance). In
this work, we propose a recurrent neural network (RNN) based
registration system, which uses a pair of consecutive LiDAR readings and
estimates a fixed transformation. The capability of RNNs to process
contiguous inputs will help neglect errors embedded in punctual laser
scanner reading and output a more precise registration estimation. In
such a way, the RNN can estimate a displacement error based on multiple
consecutive readings and act as a sensor to be employed in a closed-loop
control scheme. After a model architecture and optimization of
hyperparameters, the devised model is tested in different scenarios,
comparing the AMR precise positioning capability with a classical
registration algorithm. The results suggest that an RNN model can
greatly improve the registration precision of laser scanner signals and,
consequently, the precise positioning efficiency of AMRs.
Reliability analysis of reusable turbine rotor blisk: An application of parametric modelling method under multi-field coupling
Authors: Jin Ping , Wang Wei , Ma Yixin , Liu Bingyang , Cai Guo Biao
Published: March 2023

A reliability analysis framework is constructed by combining parametric
modelling methods with finite element analysis methods under
fluid-thermal-solid sequential coupling. The influence of blade profile
changes due to machining errors on the reliability of turbine rotor
blisks in reusable rocket engines (RRE) is investigated. The effects of
machining errors, material, and load variability on the cyclic life
reliability of rotor blisks are effectively quantified. With the
suggested method, a reliability analysis is conducted for an RRE turbine
rotor blisk, and the effect of the machining error range on the analysis
results is investigated. It is found that when the reliability
requirements are 0.85, 0.9, and 0.95, the general tolerance grades to
satisfy the reliability requirements are the coarsest grade, the medium
grade, and the precise grade, respectively. The highest sensitivity
coefficient in cyclic life reliability is 29.09% for the blade axial
chord. This study provides valuable insights and recommendations for the
reliability design and optimization of reusable turbine rotor blisks.
Waste hemp and flax fibers and cotton and cotton/polyester yarns for removal of methylene blue from wastewater: Comparative study of adsorption properties
Authors: Vukcevic Marija , Maletic Marina , Pejic Biljana , Karic Natasa , Trivunac Katarina , Peric-Grujic Aleksandra
Published: March 2023

Waste hemp and flax fibers, and cotton and cotton/polyester yarns, available in large quantities from the textile industry, were used as cheap and effective sorbents for the removal of methylene blue from wastewater. Waste fibers and yarns were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, iodine sorption, water retention, and point of zero charge, as well as through the determination of crystallinity index and degree of surface crystallinity. The adsorption of methylene blue was optimized by examining the influence of contact time, initial concentration, temperature, and pH value. It was found that the more ordered structure of cotton and cotton/polyester yarns leads to lower adsorption capacities and better agreement with pseudo-second order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model, while the more heterogeneous structure of flax and hemp fibers shows higher capacities for methylene blue adsorption, better described by the pseudo-first order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm model. Based on the obtained results, waste lignocellulosic fibers and yarns can be used for the discoloration of wastewater, thereby solving the problem of waste generated in the textile industry.

Published: March 2023

In this work, the coefficient of fluid-wall mass transfer in an inverse fluidized bed was determined using the adsorption method. The experiments were carried out in a column with a diameter of 45 mm with spherical and non-spherical particles of polypropylene and polyethylene with a diameter of 3.3?4.9 mm and a density of about 930 kg m-3. A diluted solution of methylene blue was used as a fluidization medium, which was adsorbed on part of the surface of the column on silica gel. The obtained results showed that the presence of particles during inverse fluidization does not contribute significantly to mass transfer compared to the influence of particles on transfer in conventional fluidized beds. Therefore, the pseudo-fluid concept was introduced into the analysis and an empirical correlation was performed to determine the mass transfer coefficient. The obtained results were compared with literature correlations for inverse and conventional fluidized beds.
Approach to Plato’s question: „What is mimesis willing to be?“
Authors: Tatalovic Nikola
Published: March 2023

The text seeks to explore the significance of the repeated questioning of
mimesis in the tenth book of Plato?s Republic. Initially, the question
appears to follow the typical Socratic form of inquiry, asking what
something is. However, the question is more complex than it appears because
Socrates states that he does not know ?What is mimesis trying to be??,
before calling for the questioning in his usual form in the following
sentence. The text attempts to elucidate the particularity of the repeated
questioning about mimesis by examining the relationship between the
following elements: not knowing, the question of what something is, will,
and being. The author argues that highlighting the interplay of these
concepts in Socrates? new question about mimesis is crucial to comprehending
the subsequent critique of mimesis presented in the Republic, which is far
from self-evident.
Phenomenology and psychiatry: Shaping the diagnosis
Authors: Jerotic Stefan , Nesic Janko
Published: March 2023

Phenomenology is a philosophical discipline aiming to analyze and examine
subjective experience. Since the formulation of the basic principles of this
tradition, phenomenology has been closely associated with psychiatry.
Bearing that the person with psychopathological experiences is the object of
psychiatry, phenomenology can provide an adequate framework for
understanding such experiences. In this paper, we show how phenomenology can
conceptually and methodologically improve diagnosis in psychiatry. In
clinical work, phenomenology can be applied in the process of diagnostic
reasoning by giving significant nuance and depth to psychopathology within
the frame of psychiatric diagnosis. Additionally, phenomenology can add to
psychiatric interviews, especially by pointing out the importance of the
psychopathological gestalt and eidetic reduction by way of disengaging from
different prejudices that might be present in the interviewer.
Carl Schmitt’s philosophy of law
Authors: Cveticanin Neven
Published: March 2023

The paper presents a theoretical consideration of the basics of philosophy of
law of Carl Schmitt, a famous German lawyer and thinker who is the author of
a quite controversial law theory, which to this day will not cease to
intrigue the professional researchers. The work approaches Schmitt?s thought
in an impartial way, and conducts a constructive dialogue with his theory of
law and the state, i.e. his philosophy of law, acknowledging Schmitt?s
analytical results in defining the relationship between politics and law,
but also criticizing his theory where it shows certain exaggerations. The
paper presents a simultaneous research of Schmitt?s theory and Schmitt?s
biography, trying to show the existential and political reasons why he tried
to conform his theory of state and law to the totalitarian political
circumstances in which he lived. The paper finally evaluates the value of
Schmitt?s theory, which in a clear, descriptive and logical way
distinguished two levels of legal thought, distinguishing the very level of
constitution of the political-legal order where law is not, in real
historical conditions, separate from politics - and the level of the system
of positive legal norms itself. In addition to discussing the basic figures
of Schmitt?s philosophy of law, the paper also pays attention to Schmitt?s
treatment of particular legal-theoretical issues, such as the issue of the
state of emergency and sovereignty.

Authors: Torres Flor Analucía , Cerellino Cernades Lila , Rivera Renzo
Published: March 2023

Background: During the last decades in Peru there have been greater demographic changes, like the remarkable increase in the number of cohabitating couples and the decrease of married ones. Therefore, this study aims to describe the perception of cohabitation and marriage between women in the city of Arequipa, Peru. Methods: 764 women between 18 and 66 years of age were randomly selected according to their socioeconomic level and they were surveyed with a questionnaire about cohabitation and marriage perception. The results indicated that the majority of evaluated women considered marriage important (82.5) because it is the most appropriate way to start living as a couple (35.2%) and it is a legally recognized institution (31.3%), among other reasons. Furthermore, the majority of women do not consider cohabitation as more convenient than getting married (65.8%) and mostly reported that cohabitation is a type of relationship in which members mutually support each other (97.5%), that is exclusive between two people (97%) and in which expenses and duties are shared (95.9%). Conclusion: For a great percentage of cohabiters and single women from the sample, marriage is important. The majority of women do not consider cohabitation more convenient than getting married. The women that considered cohabitation more convenient, pointed two main reasons: knowing if the couple is getting along and knowing the couple well. Less than the 10% of these women believe that cohabitation is a step prior to marriage. Regarding the perception of marriage compared to cohabitation, for the vast majority of women, the perception of cohabitation is similar to the characteristics of marriage.

Published: March 2023

The study is devoted to the search for the optimal methodical approach for bias correction of surface air temperature from real climatic indicators for the territory of Ukraine, obtained in the projections of ensembles of regional climate models (RCM) based on the use of regression analysis, namely the least squares method (LSM) with various options of its application. The procedure included: searching for weight coefficients of linear regression equations to minimize the deviation of the forecast from the observations for each model and each grid node of the 10 RCM for two climatic periods 1961—1990 and 1991—2010; obtaining, on the basis of equations with established coefficients, the averaged errors of ensembles of models for various variants of LSM application; and determining the limits of the application of such methodical approaches to the formation of an optimal ensemble.

Among all options for using forecasting functions, it was found that the most accurate was the option of applying LSM to differences (shifts) in values between periods when one uses monthly values of the climate indicator. In general, the use of monthly values showed the best approximation of the model data to the observation data used from the E-OBS database.

It was found that in a certain period the approximation of the LSM is significantly better than the average, but the advantage is lost if the obtained weighting factors are used in another period. For further use, the proposed approach can be modernized in the direction of more detailed clustering in time and space, which will allow adjusting the model data even closer to the observed ones. However, our results make us doubt the feasibility of applying such an approach to the forecast of climate fields, since they are not stationary and can significantly transform over time. In this case, arithmetic averaging and averaging of shifts or the delta method remain the optimal choice for forming a prognostic ensemble of RCM.
The deep structure of the Trans-European Suture Zone (based on seismic survey and GSR data) and some insights in to its development

Published: March 2023

Deep crust and mantle structure of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ) is considered on the basis of geological and geophysical investigations in the Baltic Sea-Black Sea section. The crustal structure of TESZ was studied on the basis of wide-angle depth seismic sounding (WDS), which was performed by international scientific teams with the participation of the Institute of Geophysics of NAS of Ukraine (IGF NASU). TESZ mantle structure was studied down to a depth of 800 km by the 3D P-velocity model of the Eurasian mantle according to the Taylor approximation method developed in the Institute of Geophysics of NASU. It is concluded that the deep crustal and mantle structure of the zone is a result of the simultaneous action of plate- and plum tectonic processes. TESZ was formed on two major collision alstages: in the late Ordovician — early Silurianas a result of the accession of the Avalonia microcontinent to the East European Platform (EEP), and in the late Carboniferous – early Permian with the accession of the European Hercynian (Varisian) terranes to EEP. The TESZ crustal structure is a trough of 150 (sometimes up to 200) km wide and several to 21 km deep, built by the allochthonous complex of paleozoids that underwent Caledonian and Hercynian orogens beyond the trough. Mantle structure of the TESZ, according to seismic tomographic studies, is of dual nature: on the one hand, the zone is traced subvertically to a depth of 700 km, on the other, within the zone there are everywhere inclined layers — slips to the depth of 350—600 km, that is the traces of subduction processes, which precededorac companied TESZ formation. Both structural features overlapeachother, which complicates paleotectonic and geohistorical analysis of TESZ formation. TESZ sinking to greater depths in the mantle can be explained by its increased permeability for advection of ultra-deep mantle fluids, established hereborogensic tomographic and paleomagnetic methods. Several variants of TESZ formation are assumed — A- or B-subduction during north eastern plate thrusting under the south western one in all variants.
Geotraverse «Granite—Odesa—Kryvyi Rih—Pereschepine
Authors: Pigulevskiy P.I.
Published: March 2023

The article examines the results of research carried out by the methods of reflected waves and common depth point (MRW-CDP) on the «Granit» geotraverse, which crosses the whole of Ukraine from the southwest to the northeast and passes through the territories of Odesa, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions, west of Belgorod region of Russia. In structural and tectonic terms, the geotraverse crosses large geological structures: the marginal part of the Scythian Plate (SP), the Ukrainian Shield (USH), the Dnieper-Donetsk Basin (DDB) and the southern slope of the Voronezh Crystalline Massif (VCM).
The analysis of the features of the registered wave field and the completed structural constructions of the consolidated crust and upper mantle in the section of the «Granite» geotraverse shows a complex heterogeneous structure with certain spatially correlated regularities, against the background of which there are numerous inhomogeneities characteristic of both individual blocks and their individual intervals.
The cross-sections of all the studied geostructures are characterized by a high level of saturation with non-extended, unevenly distributed reflective elements, which occupy positions from subhorizontal to steeply sloping in space. With all the diversity of the mutual location of both individual boundaries and their groups, a fairly strict correlation is established, which primarily provides information about the nature of stratification, deformations, and the stress state of the structures of the consolidated crust and upper mantle.
In the modern structure of the crust, a significant role belongs to faults and tectonic plates, the vast majority of which are manifested as inclined zonal bodies with different orientations. Systems of faults and plates form a complex hierarchical interdependence.
The «crust-mantle» transition zone is a complex, laterally variable area, with a thickness of 3 to 7 km, caused by systems of subhorizontal stratification, expressed by the concentration of reflective elements. The largest homogeneous and contrasting region of the transition is manifested in the structures of ancient consolidation, with a thickness of the crust of about 40 km.
As a result of the research, more detailed information on the structure of individual tectonic elements was obtained, and some general principles of the structure of the transition zone from the ancient continental platform to the active folded belt were clarified.

The wide-angle reflection and refraction (WARR) SHIELD’21 profile carried out in 2021 crosses from SW to NE the main tectonic of Ukraine. The SHIELD’21 targeted the structure of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle of the southwestern margin of the East European Craton with overlying Neogene Carpathian Foredeep and Vendian-Paleozoic Volyn-Podolian Monocline, Archaean and Paleoproterozoic segments of Ukrainian Shield and Late Paleozoic Dnieper-Donets Basin. The ~650 km long profile is an extension of realized in 2014 RomUkrSeis line in Romania and Ukraine from Apuseni Mountains to southwestern Ukrainian Shield. The field work performed in 2021, included the deployment of autonomous seismic stations and drilling-explosive works. A total of 264 seismic receivers were deployed (160 DATA-CUBE and 104 TEXAN stations) with the average spacing between the observation points  about 2.65 km. The sampling interval for all stations was 0.01 s. Seismic energy was generated by 10 shot points with ~50 km of distance between them and total charge in all wells 5775 kg. The SHIELD’21 experiment using TEXAN and DATA-CUBE short-period seismic stations provided high-quality seismic records. The main recorded seismic waves are the refractions of P- and S-waves in sediments, basement, crust and upper-most mantle, and reflections from crustal boundaries, Moho interface and boundaries in the uppermost mantle. Correlation of travel time arrivals of seismic waves provides calculation of the velocity model for both P- and S-waves. The main objective of the SHIELD’21 project is to get new seismic data that increase our knowledge on the lithosphere structure as well as geodynamics of the oil-and-gas-bearing and ore regions of Ukraine.

This study evaluated factors influencing interpersonal communication among local and international students of a Malaysian public university. The embedded design of mixed methods was applied to conduct this study. This study had 220 participants from both local and international students of the mentioned university. Based on their agreements, 12 participants were interviewed to strengthen the survey data. Based on the results, the participants were using the English langue as the primary means of their daily interactions with their peers from different nationalities, and the levels of their English language proficiency and their daily interpersonal communication had mutual effects on each other. According to the results, around 80% of the participants had experienced some interactions with students from other nationalities at the university campus. Based on the results, their daily interactions helped the participants to improve their English language proficiency and to gain some new social and cultural information about different people.
History and systems of control of constitutionality: international experience
Authors: Bzova L. , Pankratova A.
Published: March 2023

This article examines the historical evolution of constitutionality control, its concept and its various systems. In the study of modern constitutionalism, the topic of constitutional control, especially from the side of constitutional jurisdiction exercised by constitutional courts, is gaining more and more strength. The control of constitutionality is the supervision of the compatibility of regulatory acts with the constitutional text. From supremacy and constitutional centrality, any laws, to remain valid in the national legal system, must maintain respect, formal and substantive, for the constitutional text. It is at this moment that constitutionality control, which is carried out diffusely by various bodies of judicial power, comes into play. The idea of constitutional review is related to the supremacy of the Constitution over the entire legal system, as well as constitutional rigor and protection of fundamental rights.

The existence of normative escalation is a necessary prerequisite for constitutional supremacy, since, occupying the constitution of the hierarchy of the normative system, it is in it that the legislator will find the form of legislative development and its content. Moreover, in countries that have a strict Constitution, that is, those that provide for their own amendment a more serious legislative procedure than is provided for by ordinary laws, a kind of regulatory pyramid is established, at the top of which is the Constitution.

Therefore, the control of constitutionality is a guarantee of the supremacy of basic rights and guarantees provided by the Constitution, which, in addition to setting the boundaries of state power, is also part of the legitimacy of the state itself, defining its duties and enabling the democratic process under the rule of law. Control of constitutionality means checking the perfect adequacy of the law or normative act of the Constitution, checking its formal and material requirements. This is always a comparative examination between a legislative or regulatory act and the Constitution. From this we can say that any legislative or regulatory act that contradicts the Basic Law of the organization of the state must be declared unconstitutional.
The role of digital rights in the modern states stable development: problems of recognition and legalization
Authors: Kalachenkova K. , Mikhailina T.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the scientific article is to critically analyze the feasibility of recognizing digital rights and legalizing them in the context of sustainable development theory.

The scientific article is devoted to highlighting the formation of digital rights as determinants of sustainable development of the modern state. The problem of legal regulation of digital rights is highlighted. It is emphasized that the formation of a digital environment determines the relevance of research to identify problems, conditions and tools for implementing the concept of sustainable development under the influence of the formation of the global information society and the use of information as a priority resource for achieving sustainable development goals.

The study analyzes the positions of domestic and foreign scientists on the formation of digital rights as a determinant of sustainable development of the modern state. The experience of legislative consolidation and regulation of digital rights is considered.

Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn: the need for legal regulation of digital rights not only at the international level, but also at the national level by constitutionalizing basic digital rights or including these rights in relevant legislation, as well as the development of effective mechanisms for the implementation and protection of these rights; digital accessibility remains one of the main obstacles to overcoming digital inequality; in the context of the development of the information society, digital literacy should be at the level of general education.

Analysis of the international experience of digital rights regulation makes it possible to distinguish two ways of regulation: 1) constitutionalization of digital rights, in which the text of the Constitution is changed in order to regulate digital rights at the highest constitutional level; 2) digitalization of rights, in which the rights enshrined in the legislation acquire an updated interpretation or settlement based on decisions of constitutional jurisdiction bodies, the practice of the European Court of human rights or in relevant legislation.
The compensation for harm: problems and prospects for further legislative reform
Authors: Vovk M. , Zaiats O.
Published: March 2023

The compensation for harm is one of the most important legal ways to protect the violated civil rights and interests of the participants in civil relations. In modern market conditions, this method of protection is the main one for restoring the material condition or compensating for moral harm to the injured person. In the context of updating civil legislation and adapting it to EU legislation, there is a need for new approaches to the legal regulation of compensation for harm.

The article examines the general terms of compensation for harm: the illegality of the behaviour of the person who caused the harm, the presence of harm, the causal relationship between the illegal behaviour and the harm, and the fault of the person who caused the harm.

Special attention is paid to the issue of illegality (illegal behaviour) as a condition for compensation for damage. Here the theories of illegality are analysed: objective (normative) and objective-subjective.

The definition of harm is investigated. The attention is focused on the ratio of the concepts of "harm" and "damages". Attention is drawn to the problems of legal regulation of the concept of moral harm. It is established that according to the practice of European Court of Human Rights, the content of moral (non-property) harm is determined differently in relation to individuals and legal entities. In addition, the methods of determining the amount of compensation for moral harm are analysed, in particular, the method of psychological research certified by the Ministry of Justice in Ukraine and registered in the Methodology of Psychological Research in Cases Involving the Infliction of Moral Suffering on a Person and Compensation for Moral Harm (registration number 14.1.75), which was put into effect from 18.01.2019.

The article analyses the legal regulation of the causal relationship between illegal behaviour and harm in the Principles of European Tort Law (PETL).

Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that in the future it is advisable to continue studying and improving the obligations to compensate for harm, in particular, the system of special torts provided for by Chapter 82 of the Civil Code of Ukraine is subject to revision.
