The estimation of flood area based on a few selected and weighted parameters: Case study of the Nangka river basin, Balikpapan (Indonesia)
Authors: Sulistyo Totok , Respati Sara
Published: September 2023

In several previous studies on flood analysis and estimation, there was no
clear rationale for why different researchers used a different combination
of parameters in the determination of flood zones. Such research results
raise the question of how to select a few dominant parameters without
reducing the objectivity of the analysis. This research proposes the
standardization of parameters selection by using Pareto Analysis in
screening a few vital flood parameters from numerous parameters that prevail
in certain areas. The selection of the right dominant parameters is the key
to achieving the analysis goal and it will also simplify the analysis
processes. This flood zone estimation study uses a combination of Pareto
Analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System
(GIS). The results of the study include a flood zonation map. The study area
can be classified by its level of vulnerability as follow: very low
vulnerability zones (0.003 km2), low vulnerability zones (5.588 km2), medium
vulnerability zones (11.876 km2), high vulnerability zones (8.629 km2), and
very high vulnerability zones (2.198 km2). The validation shows that the
estimation of the most vulnerable zone is consistent with field validation
and the flood event history of several locations in the study area. As a
result, the developed model can provide an accurate flood zonation map,
enabling stakeholders to take appropriate mitigation measures for different
areas.
Aspects of tourism sustainability on organic farms in Slovenia
Authors: Cigale Dejan , Lampic Barbara
Published: September 2023

In 2020, 957 tourist farms in Slovenia were offering accommodation and/or
food and beverages. Due to the legal framework (the law requires a high
minimum percentage of own production), the offer of Slovenian tourist farms
is strongly linked to their own agricultural production and the local rural
environment. The paper addresses various aspects of sustainable rural
tourism, focusing on organic tourist farms. The research?s goal was to find
out whether Slovenian organic tourist farms are more sustainable than other
(non-organic) tourist farms in terms of the presence of various elements
(environmental friendliness, biodiversity preservation and nature
conservation, equity and social justice, economic success) of sustainable
tourism. These elements were selected to address all the three dimensions of
sustainability-environmental, social, and economic. The research used
secondary sources data on organic production and various sustainable tourism
practices on tourist farms (accessible tourism, sustainable tourism labels,
links with protected areas, etc.) and some other relevant characteristics of
these farms (the production of native and traditional crop varieties). In
addition, a survey was conducted on a random sample of 129 tourist farms.
The results have shown that the assumption of greater sustainability of
organic tourist farms is valid, not only in the system of agricultural
production, which is the legally established basis for labeling the farm as
organic, but also from some other aspects (greater representation of
sustainable labels, greater presence of native/traditional varieties and
breeds, more frequent links with protected areas, etc.).

Published: September 2023

This paper examines the connection between secondary vocational education and
continuing education. The influence of professional subjects and their
impact on students and the creation of attitudes about further education, as
well as the implementation of various, combined training models, are studied
in particular. For the purposes of this research, a total of 201 students
from three secondary vocational schools in the fields of trade, catering,
tourism, economics, law, and administration were surveyed using a random
sampling method. The educational profiles of the tested students are
economic technician, tourist technician, cook, and waiter. The research
objective was to determine whether the quality of professional subjects is
important when choosing further tourism studies. In addition to the fact
that teaching professional subjects develops certain students? competencies,
the application of the quantitative methodology in the research showed that
it also affects the choice of future educational profiles with high school
students. The surveyed students have significantly opted for the choice of
faculties and colleges of applied studies in natural and social sciences and
humanities.

Published: September 2023

Heat flux in electronic devices has increased dramatically with the development of advanced IC technology, facing the demand for effective thermal management technology. Micro pin-fin heat sink (MPFHS) has been demonstrated to be capable of improving the heat transfer capability and suppressing temperature rise effectively. In order to elaborate the discrepancy of heat dissipation of the MPFHS due to the cross-section shapes of pin-fin structures a set of heat sink samples with four different shapes, including the circle-MPFHS, the square-MPFHS, the crisscross- MPFHS, and the octagon-MPFHS, are fabricated with micromachining technology. Then, the thermal characteristics are tested by integrating the heat sinks with a Pt film resistor chip as the heating source, and nucleate boiling phenomenon was observed with a high-speed camera. Results showed that concave corners in pin-fin structures increased the specific surface area, but generated low velocity vortexes in back flow regions, reducing the heat transfer capability. The heat transfer coefficients of the octagon-MPFHS, the crisscross-MPFHS, and the circle- MPFHS was increased by 161.9 %, 152.4%, and 85.7 %, respectively, relative to the square-MPFHS at the flow rate of 147 kg/m2s. The heat transfer coefficients of the octagon-MPFHS, the crisscross-MPFHS, the circle-MPFHS, and the square- MPFHS was increased by 7.27%, 11.32%, 2.56%, and 4.76% when the mass-flow rate was increased from 147 kg/m2s to 295 kg/m2s. The nucleate boiling phenome-non in the crisscross-MPFHS showed periodicity and positive feedback effect, resulting in local dry-out and consequent heat transfer capability deterioration. This study will contribute to the design and modification of MPFHS.

Published: September 2023

Heat collection plates (HCP) are installed above sprinkler heads in some tall halls in the Asia-Oceania region to give faster thermal actuation. In this study, experiments were thus conducted in a fire chamber to determine thermal activation times of sprinkler heads with and without HCP. Three HCP with different diameters were selected and tested with pendent fast response liquid-in-bulb sprinkler heads. A total of 48 sprinklers heads were studied under different conditions of height and pool fire size. The HCP was found to reduce sprinkler activation time in a fire chamber test by up to 61%. Thermal activation time of sprinkler heads was also investigated by the common plunge test in a wind tunnel. Results indicate that activation was delayed by 5%, 18%, and 221% on average by the three HCP. An HCP of pie plate shape with small diameter would alter the physical scenario of heating up the heat sensing element of sprinkler heads assumed in the plunge test. Therefore, the effect of HCP cannot be appropriately assessed in a wind tunnel.

Authors: Wei Xin , Jin Feng , Yao Zhaohui , Ji Honghu
Published: September 2023

Installing a precooler behind the intake is an effective approach for hypersonic air-breathing pre-cooled engine to cool the hot incoming air. Synergetic air-breathing rocket engine is a revolutionary hypersonic air-breathing pre-cooled engine with complex thermodynamic cycle i.e. air cycle, helium cycle. Air/helium precooler is a key component and its configuration and operating condition have great effect on the performance characteristics of air-breathing pre-cooled engine. Thus, the minimum periodic flow and heat transfer model of the precooler are established. The effects of key parameters on the heat transfer performance of precooler are numerically studied. The results indicate that: when the tube row number increases from 7 to 15, the average heat transfer coefficient of air side decreases by 57%, the heat exchange rate increases by 19%, and effectiveness increases by 18.4%. The tube transverse pitch can enhance the heat transfer coefficient of air and helium side, while the heat exchange rate decreases by 33 % when the tube transverse pitch increases from 1.5 to 3.5. The helium inlet velocity can improve the heat transfer performance of precooler and reduce the flow resistance of air side.

Published: September 2023

The connection form of pipelines has an important impact on the comprehensive performance evaluation of fresh air systems. The most used PVC fresh air pipeline material in the market was selected for experimental research in this paper, and the deposition rates of particles of different pipeline connection form of 45?, 90? bend, and straight tee were all tested and compared. The purification effect of the pipeline connection form of the highest deposition rate is tested and studied. The results showed that the particle deposition rates were the highest in the connection form of straight tee, with deposition rates of 47.61%, 18.06%, and 8.13% for PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0, respectively. As the particle size increases, the deposition rate of particles also gradually increases. The larger the inlet velocity, the greater the deposition rate. The particle concentration on the outlet of the pipeline in the connection forms of straight tee was significantly decreased after adding the purification equipment, and the deposition rates of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0 decreased by 45.01%, 68.89%, and 77.48%. Therefore, the use of pipeline elbows should be reduced, and purification equipment should be installed in the process of using, which will reduce the deposition of particles in the fresh air systems.
New method for calculating heat transfer in unsteady MHD mixed boundary-layers with radiative and generation heat over a cylinder
Authors: Boricic Aleksandar , Lakovic Mirjana , Jovanovic Milos
Published: September 2023

This paper is devoted to the analysis of an unsteady 2-D MHD dynamic and thermal boundary-layer over a horizontal cylinder in mixed convection, in the presence of suction/injection, heat source/sink, and heat radiation fluid electrical conductivity is constant. The system of MHD equations of dynamic and temperature boundary-layer, which describe complex non-auto model problems, has been solved by a new approach. New variables and sets of parameters were introduced and transformed equations were obtained, in which the influence of the magnitude Z was explicitly retained. In order to close the system of equations, to the equations of the boundary-layers momentum equation was added. The solution of the obtained system of non-linear differential equations was performed numerically using the finite difference method, with the simultaneous application of the iteration method. By replacing the derivatives in the system of equations with the corresponding relations of finite differences, a system of linear derivative algebraic equations is obtained, which is solved by the three-diagonal method. As a concrete example of the introduced method, the effects of heat transfer in the MHD boundary-layers were considered, in the case of mixed convention, over a horizontal circular cylinder. The boundary conditions for temperature are defined by linear functions of longitudinal co-ordinates and time. Numerical results for different Eckart, Schmidt, and expanded Prandtl numbers and values: magnetic, dynamic, thermal parameters, temperature, and buoyancy parameters were obtained and presented. The obtained results were analyzed through the diagrams of changes in velocity and temperature and the diagrams of integral and differential characteristics of boundary-layers and the corresponding conclusions were given.
Numerical investigation of heat transfer in spirally coiled corrugated pipes: Assessment of turbulence models
Authors: Djordjevic Milan , Mancic Marko , Stefanovic Velimir , Vukic Mica
Published: September 2023

The Archimedean spiral coil made of a transversely corrugated pipe represents the radiant heat absorber of a parabolic dish solar concentrator. The main advantage of the considered design is the coupling of two passive methods for heat transfer enhancement: coiling the flow channel and changing the surface roughness. The aim of this numerical study is to assess the capability of RANS models of different complexity (realizable k-?, SST k-?, and RSM linear pressure-strain) to adequately represent the heat transfer phenomena in the considered complex flow geometry for wide ranges of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The obtained results indicate that the realizable k-? model with enhanced wall treatment is inadequate to simulate the heat transfer for all flow conditions, while both SST and RSM slightly overestimate experimental data in the turbulent region and are able to predict laminarisation at low Reynolds numbers. The SST model predictions are more accurate in the transitional and at the beginning of the turbulent region, irrespective of the curvature ratio. The RSM predictions are generally more accurate in the turbulent region. Numerically obtained circumferential distributions of local Nusselt number reveal that considered turbulence models are unable to completely anticipate the interactions between the complex flow in the basic section of the pipe and the vortex flow within the corrugations.

Authors: Park Chan Ju , Lee Kyung Jin , Kim Jin Soo , Koh Sung Hoon , Lee Dong Chul , Roh Si Young
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The most common hand fracture in children is seen at the base of the proximal phalanx. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes of single versus double Kirschner wire pinning for pediatric proximal phalanx base fractures.Patients and Methods: The retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent closed K-wire pinning for proximal phalanx base fractures from January 2016 to February 2022. We divided patients into two groups based on the number of K-wire inserted (single versus double). Demographics, removal of implant, complication rate were analyzed. Patients were asked to answer the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) by telephone. Data including fracture type, diaphyseal axis-metacarpal head angle (DHA) and Total Active Flexion Scale (TAFS) were analyzed.Results: This study included 37 pediatric patients with proximal phalanx base fractures, treated with either single (n = 10) or double K-wire (n = 27) fixation. The mean operation time was significantly shorter for the single K-wire group. No significant differences were observed in complication rates, TAFS, implant removal times, MHQ, or pre- and post-operative DHA between the two groups. Conclusion: The single K-wire technique demonstrates similar effectiveness to the double K-wire technique in treating pediatric proximal phalanx base fractures, with the added benefit of shorter operation time. Therefore, the choice between using one or two K-wires should be determined based on the surgeon’s proficiency and preference.

Authors: Savchyn Liliia
Published: September 2023

We consider dance traditions in the scientific discourse of youth culture in the field of choreographic activity (culture, education, leisure) as a means of youth culture. Dance traditions require attention from the scientific discourse of cultural studies. Therefore, we consider traditions as an integral component of Ukrainian culture, education, and recreational institutions. An overview of publications is presented, in which traditions and choreographic activity are analyzed directly in the scientific discourse. The role of dance in promoting the optimization of cultural communication, the acquisition of knowledge, the study and assimilation of samples of national culture, and the education of young people through the means of culture is analyzed. In particular, the role of educational institutions and institutions of culture and arts as centers for providing cultural requests of youth is sporadically highlighted. It was revealed that the culture process directs the youth to the European integration vector with its orientation to the future, the transmission of traditions in the plastic manifestations of folk art to future generations, the assimilation of values and priorities of cultural ideals. The implementation of traditions in choreography involves factors of a complex nature: training of professional dance disciplines in the cultural context of humanitarian sciences : philosophy, aesthetics, ethnocultural studies, art history. The complex character solves the leading tasks of art education, in which culture plays a leading role, so young people focus on the formation of special knowledge, practical skills and skills for improving special techniques and performing skills.

Sengon is one of the fast-growing wood that dominates Indonesian plantation forests and has been used as industrial raw  material, fuel, and construction material. To enhance the physical characteristics of sengon wood, it needs technology of wood quality improvement, such as impregnation  method by using Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Beside to enhance the quality of sengon wood, this technology can also expand the utilization of fast-growing wood. The presented research aims to examine the effects on physical and magnetic properties of sengon wood after being treated by magnetite nanoparticles impregnation. Magnetite nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method with a precursor solution of iron ions mixture and weak base (NH4OH). The treatments of the magnetic wood consisted of 3 different concentrations that is untreated, 1% and 5% magnetite nanoparticles impregnation solution with demineralized water as a dispersant.  Dimensional stability parameters, such as weight percentage growth, bulking impact, and effectiveness against swelling are increasing along the increase of concentration. Characterization tests such as SEM–EDX analysis showed the existence of Fe deposition in the wood cell membranes and pores of the wood. XRD analysis showed the appearance of magnetic peaks in the diffractogram in accordance with the decreased of crystallinity while the concentration increased and FTIR analysis showed Fe-O functional groups. Sengon wood magnetic was identified based on the VSM study, as a superparamagnetic components with mild magnetic characteristics.

Published: September 2023

Hyperkalemia is one of life-threatening electrolyte abnormalities. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is among the diseases in which patients can commonly develop hyperkalemia due to various factors. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of hyperkalemia and potential risk factors that contribute to development of hyperkalemia among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This is a single centered retrospective study in all deceased diabetic patients who were previously admitted to Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital, Kelantan state of Malaysia from January 2017 to December 2017 with or without hyperkalemia. A total of 132 patients were studied after screening for eligibility from medical records. Hyperkalemia was defined as potassium level ≥5.5 mEq/L. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify potential risk factors associated with hyperkalemia. The occurrence of hyperkalemia among T2DM patients was 54.5%. In multivariable analysis, stage 4 CKD (eGFR: 15-29 ml/min/1.73m2) (AOR=0.154, 95%CI=0.003,0.763), use of ARB (AOR=26.269, 95%CI=1.25,548.50) and length of stay (AOR=1.007, 95%CI=1.001,1.013) were the significant risk factors for hyperkalemia. No significant difference between diabetes patients with hyperkalemia (DMHK) group with diabetes patients without hyperkalemia (DMWOHK) group in terms of clinical outcomes. Among diabetic patients with hyperkalemia, the mean time from development of hyperkalemia until death was 99.92±119.07 hours. In conclusion, this study shows that hyperkalemia is common among T2DM patient in our study setting. Although a number of factors may contribute to the high occurrence of hyperkalemia, the use of ARB, advanced CKD at stage 4 and length of stay are major determinants of hyperkalemia occurrence. Aggressive management of hyperkalemia may be beneficial as to prevent significant clinical outcomes requiring intensive care management and cardiac problem lead to death.

Published: September 2023

The generalized result of the construction of civil society and Ukrainian statehood involves a balanced combination of public-law and private-law interests. It is appropriate to consider the formation of an effective mechanism of state power based on the implementation of the constitutional principle of the rule of law as a parity solution to this task. However, solving the given task will be significantly more difficult without taking into account the historical legal heritage, which is closely related to the functioning of the prosecutor’s office.The theoretical and legal analysis of the historical path of the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office from its original sources to the present provides broad research opportunities for deriving substantiated judgments about the content of the activities and the role of the prosecutor’s office as a tool for establishing the principles of legality and impartiality of justice.Taking into account the rich scientific development in the areas of studying the social and legal significance of the prosecutor’s activity in all spheres of society, it is possible to more fully and clearly understand the shortcomings and gaps in the formation of the legal status of the prosecutor’s office during a significant historical period.The authors’ analysis of historical sources and documents testified that the processes of rulemaking, including special laws, neglected the key issue, which consists in determining the legal status of the prosecutor’s office in the system of state authorities of Ukraine. Recognizing the constitutional existence of the prosecutor’s office, while adopting the profile Law of Ukraine, the legislator does not give a clear understanding to which of the branches of government belongs this multi-functional body with control functions in the field of law enforcement. All of the above determines the relevance of this article.
Education in conditions of war and emergency situations: experience of countries and prospects for Ukraine
Authors: Prodan V.
Published: September 2023

Education is an important vector for the development of the state and civil society. Taking into account the latest trends in education in Ukraine, namely the state of war, the coronavirus pandemic and other conditions, which in their essence contradict the normal existence and functioning of the constitutionally guaranteed right to education, this manuscript acquires scientific importance and novelty.Within the scope of scientific research, we analyzed and deduced the understanding of the terms: «education», «war», «emergency situations». Thus, under the concept of «education», the author proposes to understand a set of worldview, cultural, scientific and practical skills, abilities and competencies that are formed in the process of systematic acquisition and renewal of knowledge by a person, both individually and in specially organized institutions and premises, such as schools, universities or other educational institutions. According to the author, «war» is a conflict between two or more conflicting parties, which is characterized by the open use of weapons and violence in order to achieve political, territorial, ideological or other goals. Emergency situations, in turn, usually mean any circumstances of man-made, natural or social nature, which are characterized by a violation of the normal conditions of life of the population, have led or may lead to human and material losses, pose a threat to the life and health of citizens, cause the limitation of constitutional rights and freedoms.At the same time, the author outlined the peculiarities of the functioning of education in warring countries (Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, etc.) and presented key points from borrowing the experience of these countries regarding the provision and accessibility of education in conditions of war, namely: the development of mobile educational groups and schools in shelters, the use of distance learning, support for educational initiatives of humanitarian organizations, support for schools in temporary shelters, and adaptation of educational programs to conflict conditions.
Development of civil opinion regarding legal relations in the field of medical care in independent Ukraine
Authors: Kachmar M.Z.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the development of civil opinion regarding legal relations in the field of medical care provision in Ukraine during the period of independence. It is noted that civilistic thought refers to the set of ideas (concepts, views) of experts in the field of civil law (both scholars and practitioners) regarding the legal essence of legal relations in the field of medical care provision.It is emphasized that comprehensive research on legal relations in the field of medical care provision in Ukraine only began in the early 2000s. At this stage, unlike the Soviet period, the topic of contractual regulation of civil relations in the healthcare sector comes to the forefront, which was influenced by the development of contractual institutions of civil law, particularly contractual obligations for the provision of medical services.Specifically, the research directions of the independence period were: studying the legal nature of legal relations in the field of medical care provision; analyzing the concept and characteristics of civil legal relations in the field of medical care provision; researching the grounds for the emergence of legal relations regarding the provision of medical care; analyzing the object and subject of civil legal relations in the field of medical care provision; peculiarities of civil liability for harm caused by improper provision of medical care, and so on.In addition, attention is drawn to the fact that the opportunities for in-depth scientific research on specific relevant directions in this field are currently difficult due to the Russian armed aggression in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, and has negatively affected all areas of society and the state, including the provision of medical care. At the same time, it is noted that considering the conditions of wartime, there is a need for scientific substantiation in new directions, namely: legal aspects of the implementation of legal relations in the provision of medical care in the context of armed conflicts, peculiarities of the legal status of patients and medical workers in conditions of war, legal aspects of preserving medical confidentiality, and so on.It is concluded that due to Ukraine’s declaration of the irreversibility of its European and Euro-Atlantic course at the constitutional level, today, in difficult wartime conditions, national private law, including civil legal relations in the provision of medical care, must develop in the context of European integration processes, taking into account progressive foreign experience in this field in national legislation.
Institutionalization of mediation for the settlement of disputes in the field of intellectual property laws
Authors: Stefanyshyn N.M.
Published: September 2023

The proposed article is devoted to the study of the institution of mediation as an independent procedure for the settlement of disputes in the field of intellectual property law. The author notes that the rather rapid stage of the development of the information society, IT technologies, the emergence of new objects of civil rights, including objects of intellectual property rights, pose a number of tasks to the legislator that require their urgent solution, in particular, the task of proper legal regulation of social relations, which, already today, take place in the state and society in general. In addition, taking the integration course of Ukraine into the EU also sets before our state the conditions for improving the legal regulation of intellectual property in accordance with international legal norms, in particular, the improvement of those legal provisions of national legislation related to the resolution of disputes in the field of intellectual property law, which are increasingly happening in reality. Therefore, the legislator adopts a number of legal acts regarding the improvement of legal regulation of relations arising in the field of intellectual property law, an example of which is the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Mediation». After all, mediation occupies a special place among the conciliation procedures for the settlement of disputes among alternatives to court proceedings for the resolution of disputes related to violations of intellectual property rights.Based on the results of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that mediation in the field of intellectual property can be used in the following cases: – when settling disputes arising in connection with the use of objects intellectual property without the consent of the right holder (author, creator, inventor or the person who owns intellectual property rights in accordance with the contract or law); – disputes arising in the event of violations of intellectual property rights; – disputes arising during licensing and transfer of intellectual property rights property; – disputes arising in connection with the conclusion and performance of contracts in in the field of intellectual property, in particular, contracts on the disposition of property rights of intellectual property; – disputes arising from the use of intellectual property objects, which are transferred to third parties.
Force majeure for tax obligations of business entities
Authors: Nevinchanyi V.
Published: September 2023

The article focuses on the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine regarding the exemption from liability of taxpayers, in particular, the application of the legislation on force majeure (circumstance of insuperable force) to relations arising in the field of tax and fee administration, the rights of taxpayers, and on alternative mechanisms of exemption from responsibility for violations of tax legislation, which appeared in connection with the establishment of quarantine and the introduction of restrictive anti-epidemic measures, and the introduction of the legal regime of martial law.

The author analyzes the regulatory and legal support of the tourism sector.The Russian-Ukrainian war has led to a noticeable decrease in international tourist flows, which was caused by a number of war-related factors, with the first place being occupied by the safety of tourists, which Ukraine cannot guarantee for objective reasons. Despite the difficult situation in the country, tourism continues to operate.

The article examines legal restrictions in the choice of methods and means of waging war. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to limit and prohibit the use of certain methods and means of warfare in the modern world. The subject of the study is the legal norms that applied during armed conflicts, which limit the methods and means of waging war. The methodological basis of the research is a system of scientific methods (general, private and special) and various logical methods and tools that contribute to the knowledge of the problem. The research was carried out based on the dialectical method of cognition using historical, comparative-legal, systemic-structural and formal-logical methods, which made it possible to investigate issues in a holistic relationship. The main international treaties in this area served as a normative basis: the Convention on the Laws and Customs of War on Land, the Declaration on the Elimination of Explosive and Incendiary Bullets, the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols, the Convention on the Prohibition or Restriction of the Use of Specific Types of Conventional Weapons, which can be considered as causing excessive damage or having an indiscriminate effect and other acts. It is noted that the evolution of norms of international humanitarian law on the methods and means of waging war is due to the emergence of new types of weapons and military equipment as a result of the scientific and technical revolution and the improvement of operational art. The purpose of the restrictions is to protect civilians and minimize the suffering of service members. It is indicated that the systematic implementation of the norms of international humanitarian law on prohibited methods and means of waging war by NATO member states in relation to the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of War Victims of 1949 and Additional Protocols I, II to them in 1977 year is the result of the effective application of the implementation mechanism taking into account the peculiarities of national legal systems, the use of means of civil control over compliance with such norms. Further research with new types of weapons regarding the destruction of combat equipment and weapons, the destruction of enemy personnel, the possibility of their use in armed conflicts and the degree of severity of the consequences of their use do not have an assessment of states for compliance with the principles and norms of international law, but they need to be carried out.
