This research explores the role of intra-city transportation systems as a catalyst for sustainable tourism development in
Calabar, Nigeria. Three key tourism sites, Aqua-vista Resort, Marina Resort, and Orange Resort were selected as indicators of
tourism development. Data was collected using questionnaires. Findings reveal that mini buses, tricycles, and commercial buses
serve as major drivers of sustainable tourism development. Improved accessibility to tourist attractions and enhanced tourist mobility
were identified as significant impacts of these transportation systems. Furthermore, intra-city transportation boosts government
revenue, creates employment opportunities, and stimulates business growth. Integration with tourism services and increased access to culinary and cultural experiences were also notable influences on tourist mobility. However, challenges such as high transportation
costs and inefficient traffic management were identified. The study's hypothesis test shows a positive correlation between
transportation systems and tourism development. This research underscores the importance of intra-city transportation development
as a critical component for sustaining tourism growth and offers insights for stakeholders in tourism planning and management.
Óvodai képességzsonglőrök, avagy komplex kognitív képességfejlesztés az óvodában az óvodapedagógusok szemszögéből megközelítve
Authors: Biró Rita Zsófia
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány a kognitív képességek fejlesztésének fontosságára hívja fel a figyelmet az óvodai nevelés keretein belül. Bemutatja a kognitív fejlődés különböző aspektusait, beleértve a figyelmet, emlékezetet, észlelést, gondolkodást és problémamegoldást, amelyek mind meghatározó szerepet játszanak a gyermekek későbbi teljesítményében. A tanulmány rávilágít arra, hogy az óvodapedagógusoknak milyen alapvető szerepük van ezen képességek támogatásában, és milyen módszerekkel tudják elősegíteni a gyerekek fejlődését.  Emellett a különböző fejlesztési módszerek és eszközök alkalmazását is vizsgálja, kiemelve, hogy a játékok és az egyéni fejlesztés fontos elemei a hatékony nevelési folyamatnak. A kutatás eredményei azt mutatják, hogy a pedagógusok által használt hagyományos és új módszerek egyaránt hatékonyak lehetnek, ha megfelelően alkalmazzák őket.
Amikor az apa megy GYES-re – Az apasági szabadság igénybevételének szabályozása és hatása
Authors: Orosz Adrienn
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány szakirodalmi áttekintést ad az apasági szabadság és a gyermekgondozási szabadság apák általi igénybevételét lehetővé tevő jogi szabályozás elemeiről – kitérve az európai gyakorlatra –, illetve azon nemzetközi és hazai kutatási eredményekről, amelyek az apasági szabadság, a szülői szabadság apák általi igénybevételének családi életre, személyközi kapcsolatokra gyakorolt előnyeiről számolnak be. Az apasági szabadság igénybevétele nemcsak az apaság élményének intenzívebb megélésére, az apa-gyermek kötelék elmélyítésére, valamint a párkapcsolat megerősítésére hathat kedvezően, hanem csökkentheti a családon belüli munkamegosztás egyenlőtlenségét, továbbá javíthatja az anyák munkaerőpiaci helyzetét.
A népszokások ismeretének online mérése óvodáskorú gyermekek körében
Authors: Csontosné Buzás Zsuzsa , Prémecz Rebeka , Maródi Ágnes
Published: December 2024

A Kodály-koncepció alapelemein nyugvó óvodai zenei nevelés során a gyermekek megismerkednek a népi hagyományokkal, azok jellegzetességeivel. A hagyományápolással kapcsolatos tevékenységek a gyermekek számos értelmi, érzelmi és szociális képességeit fejleszthetik. Új lehetőségeket, egyben kihívást is jelentenek az óvodapedagógusoknak a digitális eszközök, azok óvodai módszertanba történő integrálása. Vizsgálatunkban az Elektronikus Diagnosztikus Mérési Rendszert (eDia) alkalmaztuk, amelynek fő célja az, hogy az óvodapedagógusi munkát a számítógép alapú tesztelés lehetőségeivel támogassa. Kutatásunkban célunk volt egy általunk fejlesztett online teszt segítségével választ kapni arra, hogy az óvodáskorú gyermekek milyen mértékben ismerik a népszokásokat. Az eredmények alapján a teljes teszt reliabilitása megfelelő (Cronbach alfa = 0,885), a résztesztek közül a legmagasabb a megbízhatósága a tavaszi hagyományok altesztnek (Cronbach alfa = 0,725). A gyermekek átlagteljesítménye a teszten 71,5%. Legjobban az őszi hagyományok részteszt feladatai sikerültek, amelyet 84%-ban oldottak meg. A gyermekek többségének legkedvesebb ünnepe a karácsony (45%), a húsvét (36%), illetve a farsang is (10%). Többségük szeret énekelni (55%), harmaduk pedig nagyon szeret. Kevés olyan hazai empirikus kutatás ismert, amely a népszokások, hagyományok ismeretéről, módszertanáról szól az óvodai nevelésben. Ezt a hiányt vizsgálatainkkal is szerettük volna pótolni.

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of supply chain management (SCM) research within agro-based businesses, reviewing publications from 2000 to 2024 to identify major trends, contributors, and research gaps. Using VOSviewer 1.6.20, 2,534 journal articles were evaluated, demonstrating three distinct phases: early development (2000–2008), steady growth (2009–2016), and rapid expansion (2017–2024). The rapid expansion phase is defined by an exponential increase in research addressing blockchain integration, IoT-based smart farming, carbon neutrality, and resilient supply chains, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A co-authorship study identifies key contributors like Sachin Kumar Mangla and top institutions such as Wageningen University; however, findings reflect regional differences, with little contribution from emerging economies like India. Citation analysis suggests a drop in significant articles post-2021, indicating thematic saturation. This study underlines the need for interdisciplinary research, sustainable policies, and global collaboration to promote resilience and innovation in agro-industrial SCM, delivering actionable insights for researchers and policymakers.

Sharp disagreements about social issues have raised concerns about increasing societal polarization in democracies worldwide. While diversity of opinion is vital for democratic engagement and can promote innovative solutions, social science research shows that such disagreements can undermine social cohesion and erode social trust if they turn into identity-based conflicts. The present research examines the potential of norms that promote equality-based respect, dialogue, and unity (inclusivity norms) in mitigating these negative outcomes. In a pre-registered representative survey of 12,041 individuals in twelve European countries, we find that perceived inclusivity norms are associated with increased tolerance, greater willingness to collaborate, and lower tendencies to avoid people who hold opposing opinions. In most countries studied, this pattern holds for respondents with high levels of disapproval of the opposing viewpoint and stronger identification with their opinion-based group relative to society. These findings support the potential of inclusivity norms to preserve social trust and cohesion amid opinion diversity.
Conditional Risks, Contextual Rewards: Spatial inequality and job search time at labour market entry
Authors: Morris Katy
Published: December 2024

While there is a strong educational gradient to the risk of experiencing long periods of unemployment and insecurity at the beginning of the career, recent evidence suggests local labour market circumstances can moderate the degree of risk associated with low educational achievement. We test the wider applicability of this finding by exploring the effect of spatial variation in labour demand on initial job search time in the contrasting institutional settings of Germany and the United Kingdom. Survival analysis of Understanding Society and Socio-Economic Panel data 1998–2015 shows this form of spatial inequality moderates the size of the job search time penalty associated with low educational attainment (and the size of the returns associated with higher attainment) in a similar way in both countries. Young people in places of high labour demand in Germany and the UK obtain employment with relative ease irrespective of the qualifications they hold. However, educational attainment assumes greater consequence as local labour demand declines. On average, low qualified young people in places of weak demand experience 2-3 month longer periods of labour market lockout and 8-10 month longer periods of labour market insecurity than peers located in places of strong demand, and considerably longer periods of lockout and insecurity than their better qualified peers in the same weak labour markets. These findings draw attention to the contextual nature of the risks associated with low educational attainment and the rewards to higher levels of attainment, at least in terms of job search time.
Accident Causation Theories and Tax Implication to Road Traffic Accidents in Nepal
Authors: Mishra A. K. , Niraula Subhash
Published: December 2024

This editorial is to highlight how accident theories can provide insights into the contributing factors to accidents and inform the development of targeted interventions and comprehensive safety strategies and tax implication. The article discusses several accident causation theories, including Domino Theory, Human Factors Theory, Accident/Incident Theory, Epidemiological Theory, Systems Theory, Energy Release Theory, and Combination Theory. Each theory is analyzed in the context of Nepal's transportation sector, with an emphasis on their relevance to the unique challenges faced in the country. Additionally, the editorial incorporates insights from social media, which garnered substantial community engagement and responses. The analysis reveals that heavy taxation on vehicles in Nepal significantly contributes to road and aviation accidents by creating a financial burden on vehicle owners. This burden deters regular maintenance, compels reliance on emergency repairs, and shifts focus from safety to productivity, ultimately increasing accident risks. The editorial argues for the necessity of reducing taxes to alleviate this burden, thereby encouraging regular maintenance and enhancing safety measures through maintenance insurance. The editorial emphasizes the need for policy reforms aimed at reducing vehicle taxes and improving public transport reliability to ensure a safer environment for all road users. It underscores the importance of addressing the financial aspects of vehicle ownership in conjunction with safety measures to reduce accident rates effectively.

The Influence of Corporate Social Responsibility on Brand Loyalty Among FMCG Consumers in the Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Adhikari Simran , Sapkota Anamol
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on brand loyalty among FMCG consumers within Kathmandu Valley, addressing a significant gap in the existing literature. It explores how CSR functions as a differentiator in fostering brand loyalty within a competitive market. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected using structured questionnaires from FMCG consumers. The analysis, based on Carroll’s CSR Pyramid and the Triple Bottom Line Theory, applies mediation techniques to evaluate the role of brand trust and perceived quality in the CSR-brand loyalty relationship. The findings demonstrate a positive correlation between CSR activities and brand loyalty, with brand trust acting as a significant mediator. However, perceived quality does not have any direct or indirect effect on brand loyalty. These results emphasise CSR’s crucial role in building loyalty within Nepal’s FMCG sector. The study offers practical insights for companies to align CSR with customer values to strengthen brand relationship and loyalty.
Exploring Research Practices in EFL Classrooms: Perspectives of Secondary-Level Teachers
Authors: Neupane Ram Nath
Published: December 2024

Research is a systematic investigation to find a solution to a problem. The present study attempts to explore the practices of research activities in English language classrooms. To accomplish this, data were purposefully collected from seven secondary-level English teachers of Palpa through semi-structured interviews. The gathered data were subsequently transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically, categorizing them into seven distinct topics. The findings suggest that research acts as a fundamental source of knowledge for both teachers and students. Teachers mainly use observation checklists, questionnaires, and interview guides as classroom research tools. Nearly all permanent teachers engage in action research, while temporary teachers refrain from participating in research activities due to the perceived lack of relevance to their job promotion. Teachers tend to use both formal and informal approaches in their research activities. Conducting research in the classroom is essential, as it promotes interaction, collaboration, and critical thinking skills among students. This study may be valuable for those interested in incorporating research activities into English language classrooms.
Performative Quality in the Ritual of Matchmaking in Serena Nanda's Essay 'Arranging a Marriage in India'
Authors: Darlami Magar Chetra Bahadur
Published: December 2024

This research paper explores the performative quality in the ritual of matchmaking in arranged marriage in Hindu culture in the context of Serena Nanda's essay "Arranging a Marriage in India" through the lens of Victor Turner's theory of liminality. Turner's theory, which describes the transitional phase in rites of passage, is used to analyze the experiences of brides and grooms as they navigate the period between their pre-marital and post-marital identities. This liminal phase, characterized by ambiguity and openness, is marked by significant pressure from familial and societal expectations that also constrain personal autonomy. The role of the matchmaker is pivotal in guiding individuals through this transition, often reinforcing traditional norms and finding the space between the prospective bride and groom and even between their families and bringing them into negation in each and every steps of the process for agreement, engagement and marriage even suppressing individual desires. By examining the liminal state of the bride and grooms, this study highlights the complex interplay between societal structures and personal agency, demonstrating how traditional matchmaking practices enforce conformity for marriage and limit self-determination reflecting the rich cultural performativity. The research underscores high performative quality in the ritual of matchmaking with the potential for change within this liminal space, suggesting that the suspension of individual agency of bride and groom and others for prospective marriage and the reconfiguration of identities of bride and groom.

Psychological intervention following acquired brain injury
Authors: Thøgersen Cecilie Marie , Glintborg Chalotte , Hansen Tia G. B.
Published: December 2024

A person’s life changes dramatically after an acquired brain injury (ABI). Rehabilitation after an ABI often focuses on the physical changes, while little attention is given to the emotional and existential aspects. This multiple case study (N = 8) explored the clinical utility of adding a structured psychological intervention to an existing rehabilitation programme following an ABI. The case study had an embedded ABA experimental design that was based on participants self-assessment on standardised scales (HADS, PGIS, WHO-5, SCS and DASS). These measures were obtained pre- and immediately post-intervention, as well as at a 3-month follow-up. During the intervention period, the participant also completed a daily questionnaire. Furthermore, field notes were taken during the intervention period by the therapist, and an evaluation interview was conducted after the intervention. The psychological intervention was based on the BackUp© programme. The embedded data was analysed through visual inspection and thematic analyses. The participants reported that the intervention was effective in aiding their psychological adjustment. The intervention gave the participants room for reflection and space to share emotional reactions. This helped them participate in the overall rehabilitation programme and enhanced their biopsychosocial outcomes in general. Based on this multiple case study, psychological interventions may have clinical value when providing comprehensive rehabilitation. An intervention based on the BackUp© programme could be one useful approach. Future studies need to explore other forms of intervention and their benefits to clarify the best psychological interventions for individuals who have suffered an ABI.

Authors: Blažević Simić Ana , Širanović Ana
Published: December 2024

Proizlazeći iz osnovnih načela zaštite prava sudionika istraživanja, informirani je pristanak centralno pitanje istraživačke etike. U istraživanjima u kojima su sudionici djeca, dobivanje informiranoga pristanka prožeto je različitim izazovima, a kada je riječ o djeci s teškoćama, ti se izazovi dodatno usložnjavaju. Cilj je istraživanja bio analizirati prakse izvještavanja o dobivanju informiranoga pristanka u domaćim empirijskim istraživanjima u kojima su sudionici djeca s teškoćama. Konkretnije, primjenjujući metodu sustavnoga pregleda literature i tehniku analize sadržaja, analizirana su ukupno 73 znanstvena članka, objavljena u 35 domaćih znanstvenih časopisa u otvorenome pristupu, koji izvještavaju o empirijskim istraživanjima u kojima su sudjelovala djeca s teškoćama. Za potrebe rada konstruirana je analitička matrica koju je činilo šest klasifikacijskih kategorija: informirani pristanak djeteta, informirani pristanak roditelja/skrbnika, dozvola etičkoga povjerenstva, prilagodba materijala i postupaka, prilagodba komunikacije i prilagodba (pristupačnost) mjesta istraživanja. Rezultati provedenoga sustavnog pregleda govore o povećanju broja istraživanja u kojima sudjeluju djeca s teškoćama, ali istovremeno i o nedovoljnoj zastupljenosti (osobito detaljno raspisanih) izvještaja o etičkim aspektima dječjega sudjelovanja te o diskrepanciji između izvještavanja o pristanku roditelja/skrbnika i pristanku djeteta. Dobiveni uvidi ukazuju na potrebu daljnjega unapređivanja praksi izvještavanja o dobivanju informiranoga pristanka djece s teškoćama.

Authors: Vučić Damir , Vidaček-Hainš Violeta , Ćurković Sanja
Published: December 2024

Online gaming is one of the most popular students’ activities associated with various aspects of their experience and behavior. This paper aims to investigate the frequency of online gaming among students and determine the association among the frequency of online gaming, emotional states, and affective schedules. The sample included 1000 undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Zagreb, studying in different science fields. The average age of the respondents was 23. The self-evaluation of time that students devote to online gaming was conducted in accordance with time categories expressed in hours devoted to online gaming. The subjective well-being was based on the self-assessment of life satisfaction questionnaire, the assessment of the frequency and intensity of unpleasant emotional state on DASS-21 questionnaire and a measure of the assessment of positive and negative affect on PANAS (Positive-PA and Negative-NA affective Schedule. The results confirm that students who are excessively involved in online gaming are less satisfied with their lives, assess unpleasant affective experience more intensively and pleasant affective experience less, compared to students who are less frequently involved in online gaming. Female students assess unpleasant emotional states of anxiety, depression, and stress more intensively than male students. Furthermore, female students assess unpleasant and pleasant affective experience more intensively than male students. These results can be applied to provide suggestions on what optimum time devoted to online gaming compared to other activities would be.

Authors: Ali A Althaf , Devi K Rama , Ahmed N Syed Siraj , P Ramchandran , S Parvathi
Published: December 2024

The proliferation of malicious webpages presents a growing threat to online security, necessitating advanced detection methods to mitigate risks. This paper proposes a novel approach that integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques with an ensemble of machine learning models for the proactive detection of malicious web content. By leveraging semantic analysis, lexical patterns, and metadata extraction, the proposed framework enhances the identification of suspicious patterns in web page content. The ensemble model combines decision trees, random forests, and gradient boosting methods, optimizing classification accuracy and reducing false positives. A comprehensive evaluation using a large dataset of web pages, including both benign and malicious examples, demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method over traditional single-model approaches. With accuracy rates exceeding 98%, this framework achieves a robust, scalable solution for real-time web content analysis, providing a critical tool for cybersecurity professionals to detect and block malicious webpages before they can cause harm. Future directions include the integration of deep learning architectures and adaptive filtering techniques to further refine detection capabilities.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to employ the Competitive Value Framework (CVF) and its value drivers as indicators for individual perceptions derived from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT). The data was analyzed using the SEM-PLS method. The Reflective Formative Second Order Two-Stage Approach was used for the analysis, where variables related to organizational culture (OC) were examined using formative methods, while variables such as Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), Effort Expectancy (EE), and Behavioral Intention To Use (BI) were analyzed reflectively. The results revealed a significant correlation between OC and BI via EE and SI. However, the relationship between OC and BI via PE was found to be insignificant. This study contributes to theories about organizational culture, and information technology acceptance. On a practical level, these findings can assist decision-makers in paying greater attention to organizational culture when implementing new technologies.
The Mediating Role of Organizational Trust in the Effect of Social Sustainability on Organizational Resilience
Authors: Meriç Yazıcı Ayşe , Özkan Ayşegül
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating role of organizational trust in the impact of social sustainability on organizational resilience. Using a sample of 441 employees in the energy sector in Istanbul, a structured questionnaire was applied to measure employees' organizational resilience, organizational trust and perceived social sustainability activities. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS and AMOS 24 programs. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used in the study. The data analysis based on path modelling confirms the mediating role of organizational trust in the effect of social sustainability on organizational resilience. The findings show that all social sustainability variables significantly affect all organizational trust dimensions, and organizational trust dimensions significantly affect organizational resilience dimensions. Accordingly, organizational trust dimensions and all social sustainability dimensions have a full mediating variable role in the effect of organizational trust dimensions on organizational resilience dimensions. Future research is important to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between social sustainability, organizational resilience and organizational trust. In particular, studies in specific sectors or cultural contexts can help us better understand how these relationships may vary and how they may shape organizations' strategies.
A Semantic-Context Embedding Enhanced Attention Fusion BiLSTM
Authors: Purohit Amit , Singh Patheja Pushpinder
Published: December 2024

For natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis (SA) is crucial since it helps to understand users' feelings and opinions in a variety of contexts. Even though Deep Learning (DL) techniques are becoming more popular in SA, effective model optimization can be difficult because they frequently call for a great deal of hyperparameter tuning. However, because current models can't sufficiently capture the variety of review contexts, it introduces bias and inaccuracies, especially in product reviews. For Multilingual Sentiment Analysis (MSA) in product reviews, this research proposed a Semantic-Context Embedding Enhanced Attention Fusion BiLSTM (SCEEAF-BiLSTM). The proposed model combines Continuous Bag-of-Word (CBoW) and Skipgram techniques to extract semantic context after the preprocessing stages of tokenization, stop word removal, and case normalization. A novel Convolutional BiLSTM with Enhanced Attention (CoBLEA) architecture is introduced for multilingual sentiment prediction to extract comprehensive context representations. The model ultimately shows efficacy in dividing multilingual sentiments into positive, neutral, and negative states, providing a viable method for complex SA in several circumstances. The outcome signifies that the proposed approach obtains a high accuracy attained 0.987, precision attained 0.985, recall attained 0.978 and F1-Score attained 0.986 when compared with prior works. With practical applications in sentiment-driven platforms operating in multiple languages, the research presents a method for complex SA in e-commerce, social media, and customer feedback systems. It also emphasizes the significance of comprehending multilingual opinions for enhancing marketing strategies, driving business decisions, and improving customer satisfaction.

Authors: Abdulelah Furqan , M. Mohammed Mohammed , Hassan Baaker Rabab
Published: December 2024

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a rare heterogenous progressive genetic disorder, which is a subset of lysosomal storage diseases with a consequence of glycosaminoglycans building-up inside the lysosomes which attributed to enzymes absence or deficiency.  This study was aimed to identify mutations that associated with mucopolysaccharidosis of Iraqi children in different Iraqi metabolic centers. While in concerning to the genetic study, the eligible patients who had no genetic analysis and who are not received hematopoietic stem cells transportation were enrolled in this study for molecular confirmation of mucopolysaccharidosis disorders and reporting the existence of any new variants among Iraqi patients. Consequently, the study reports various SNPs are responsible for different MPS types, for instance, there are seven SNPs within IDAU gene of MPS I Iraqi patients, the most frequent one was rs794726877 which accounts for missense c.152G>A. Finally, the study recommends establishment of awareness programs for affected families regarding the genetic conditions, inheritance pattern and potential availability of reproductive options such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), educate the population at risk about the risk of genetic disease transmission as a result of inbreed marriage and necessity of availability of prenatal screening and pregnancy termination option in Iraq.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the in vitro adsorption power of activated charcoal (AC), light kaolin (LK), and heavy kaolin (HK) at a concentration of 0.2% weight-per-volume (w/v) on high dosages (10 tablets) of a variety of medications that have a narrow safety index. This will be done by testing the adsorption capacity of the three types of kaolin at the same concentration. This list includes a variety of drugs, some of which are as follows: diazepam, metoclopramide, theophylline, digoxin, and diltiazem HCL. The test was done by dissolving the pharmaceuticals from their tablets in the presence of the adsorbents while using simulated gastric fluid as the medium. This was done in order to determine how well the medications would work in the stomach. This was done in order to ascertain whether or not the method in question was successful. In order to evaluate the efficacy of these adsorbents as antidotes to treat oral overdoses of these medicines and to determine the success of this process, the goal of this treatment was to find out whether or not this treatment was successful. Activated charcoal had the capability of virtually completely absorbing all of the drugs that were put through their paces. Diazepam, metoclopramide, digoxin, and theophylline were some of the medications that were involved. Diltiazem was another one of the medicines that were involved. Both the light and heavy versions of kaolin were only able to absorb a restricted quantity of the illicit substances. The other types of adsorbents that are utilized do not compare to the capabilities of activated charcoal when it comes to the absorption of chemicals.

The interaction between agonist and antagonist muscles, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, is critical in knee joint biomechanics, impacting its stability and functionality during movement. This study investigates the relationship between the hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) muscle strength ratio and plantar pressure distribution in the foot during walking. Utilizing dynamic pedobarography and isokinetic dynamometry, we assessed 19 male participants (mean age: 25.22±3.33 years; BMI: 22.64±2.39 kg/m²) to measure plantar pressure and muscle strength ratios. Our findings indicate significant correlations between muscle strength imbalances and variations in plantar pressure, suggesting that both the H/Q ratio and individual muscle strengths are influential in foot biomechanics. Specifically, increased hamstring strength relative to the quadriceps was associated with higher plantar pressure on the heel, while a lower H/Q ratio correlated with increased pressure on the forefoot and toes. These insights may underscore the importance of balanced muscle function for maintaining proper gait mechanics and preventing lower extremity injuries. The study highlights the necessity of integrating muscle strength assessments in clinical evaluations to enhance musculoskeletal health and functional mobility.

The article examines the legal aspects of regulating the cryptocurrency market as an element of innovative monetary circulation. Particular attention is paid to studying the impact of digital technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, tokenization and Internet platforms on the development of monetary policy. In the context of studying the state regulation of cryptocurrency in Ukraine, an analysis of national legislation and international experience was conducted in order to determine ways to improve the regulatory framework. The main approaches to introducing the practice of regulating the cryptocurrency market were identified. The stages of the historical development of legal regulation of cryptocurrency in Ukraine and the evolution of monetary policy were systematized and identified. The legal status of cryptocurrencies in Ukraine and the world, the features of their regulatory regulation, taxation, licensing and protection of the rights of market participants were analyzed. The need to create an effective regulatory framework to minimize the risks associated with cryptocurrency transactions, including money laundering and terrorist financing, was substantiated. The prospects for legislative initiatives in Ukraine aimed at regulating the circulation of cryptocurrencies and their impact on the country's economy were outlined. The adoption of a special law “On the Cryptocurrency Market in Ukraine” is proposed, which would determine the legal status of the cryptocurrency market and establish basic regulatory requirements. The need to develop regulations on the activities of cryptocurrency exchanges, including licensing conditions and mechanisms for state control over their activities, is proven. The need to amend the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code of Ukraine to establish liability for offenses in the field of cryptocurrency circulation is determined. The work emphasizes the importance of legal regulation in the context of international experience and highlights the challenges faced by the state in creating a favorable legal environment for the development of cryptocurrency business
