Construction industry and the Industry 4.0 concept: a review
Authors: Ginzburg Alexander V. , Adamtsevich Liubov A. , Adamtsevich Aleksey O.
Published: August 2021

Introduction. The concept of Industry 4.0, which is considered the fourth industrial revolution, includes collective concepts of technologies such as the Internet of Things, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, printed electronics, artificial intelligence, etc. It was introduced in Germany in 2011. The purpose of the article is to analyze the publication activity focused on Industry 4.0 technologies in the construction industry and the development of construction technologies.

Materials and methods. To achieve the goal set in this study, a bibliometric and bibliographic review of international scientific publications was carried out. At the first stage, the co-authors decided to use scientific publications indexed in Scopus and RSCI, for which three key word sampling were made: Keywords for the first sampling: the fourth industrial revolution; Keywords for the second sampling: The Fourth Industrial Revolution and construction industry; Keywords for the third sampling: Industry 4.0 and construction.

Given that a small number of publications in the RSCI database — the database of the Russian Science Citation Index (4) — meet the requirements, the co-authors decided to analyze the publications from the list made by the Scopus database. At the same time, sampling 3 was selected for the analysis, as the most complete and suitable for the purposes of the study. Further, the co-authors collected data on scientific publications covering the research topic, and conducted a bibliometric analysis to develop a cluster map of relationships between the key words and a bibliographic analysis to select the scientific publications to be reviewed.

Results. In accordance with the pre-set restrictions, the co-authors analyzed the articles published from 2011 to 2020. In total, 591 publications were left in the sampling. The information about these articles was converted to RIS format for its further analysis and visualization of bibliometric parameters. At the same time, few articles focus on research or development of Industry 4.0 technologies (27); hence, most of the publications represent overviews.

Conclusions. The analysis of publications made it possible to single out two key Industry 4.0 technologies applied in the construction industry: information modeling and 3D printing. At the same time, the development of technologies for additive construction (3D printing) is one of the most dynamically developing areas of research in the field of the cutting-edge construction science. First of all, it refers to 3D Concrete Printing, which also contributed to the inception and development of a number of related research areas in the field of building materials related to the control of rheological and technological properties of dispersed building mixtures, the control of the hardening kinetics of materials that have mineral binders, dispersed reinforcement and other methods of increasing the strength characteristics of composites that feature hydration hardening, tension in bending, etc.

Published: August 2021

Within the commitments of the 2030 Agenda, the socio-economic objectives for a sustainable development of society as a whole, stand out, which propose minimizing the impact produced by all the activities of the Public Administration on the environment. Therefore, the creation and retrofitting of its infrastructures, needed for its operation and the services it provides, has a great impact. The goal of this work focuses on a methodological adaptation for the environmental evaluation of the works promoted by public organizations, quantifying and locating the sources of impact with the purpose of taking the measures to minimize them. For this, the footprint family, ecological, carbon, and water, are proposed as indicators, characterized by the simplicity of their message and the ease of their implementation in the construction sector, by controlling project costs. A case study is presented, the construction of an early childhood education center in the city of Madrid, for which the data needed for the calculation are presented and analyzed. The results reflect interesting information in terms of footprints, on the elements that must be controlled and improved in the project design, such as concrete and steel.

Authors:   Universidad Nacional de San Juan, San Juan, Argentina, Alamino-Naranjo Yesica , Alonso-Frank Alcion
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this work was to develop a methodological tool to evaluate office space work performance during the summer period. The proposed tool is an optimal work performance indicator called IRLO, which combines environmental variables on thermal, air quality, visual and acoustic influence. Integrated measurements were run for its development alongside surveys to users-workers of an office building in the city of San Juan - Argentina. The results reveal the preference ranges of each variable, recognizing that in open plan offices, there is a greater environmental adaptive capacity than in closed plan offices. It is concluded, that the indicator stands out by providing a basis to identify work performance considering environmental variables that should, in the future, be considered in the design phase.
Minga: modelo replicable de renovación urbana sostenible, caso Buenaventura
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Cali, Colombia, Villamil-Cárdenas Valeria , Osuna-Motta Ivan
Published: August 2021

This article presents the results obtained in research made during a sustainable urban renewal design in the city of Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, as part of MINGA team's proposal for SDLAC 2019 (Solar Decathlon Latin America and Caribbean). This project was developed by a group of students and professors, as part of the undergraduate programs of architecture and civil engineering of the partner universities in the MINGA team. A project-based teaching-learning methodology was used, integrating the curricula in interdisciplinary project workshop-type courses. The main goal was to demonstrate the viability of a resilient urban planning project, conceived for the future climate in a coastal city in the hot-humid tropics. The results showed that a climate-resilient urbanism can be created, which guarantees the permanence of the original inhabitants of the coastal areas, mitigating flooding risks, and preserving the cultural roots of the inhabitants, even under sea-rise scenarios.
Arquitecturas para la soledad. Proliferación y pandemia de capillas aisladas [versiones chilenas]
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla, Sevilla, España, Parra-Bañón José Joaquín
Published: August 2021

"Architectures for solitude", which are those that are small in size and were first used by a single resident to later be inhabited by a very small number of people as a place of spiritual retreat or for liturgical rites, deals with analysing the circumstances and causes of the great increase in the number of isolated chapels that have been projected and built in the first two decades of the 20th century around the world, and particularly in Europe and Latin America. The study of such a notorious proliferation focuses, by way of example and symptom, on a reduced repertoire of works designed by Chilean architects. Methodologically speaking, although the progress presented only contains some indications of the procedures used, the study will be carried out by reviewing the pages and cover pages dedicated to them by architecture publications, printed or digital, resorting to the discursive strategies of architectural types and semantics analysis, comparison and statistical calculation, the communicative potential of the photographic image, and the expressive capacity of the word. From the theses raised, it is proposed that the term “chapel” be redefined to re-signify it; of the cases presented, that the heterogeneous formal repertoire of contemporaneity starts from the vernacular to venture into experimentation devoid of prejudice. Ultimately, the data allow us to deduce that the current rise of hermitic architectures is related to the circumstances of hegemonic urban societies, as well as to predict that the process will be accelerated by upcoming pandemics.

Many-Body Quantum Zeno Effect and Measurement-Induced Subradiance Transition
Authors: Biella Alberto , Schiró Marco
Published: August 2021

It is well known that by repeatedly measuring a quantum system it is possible to completely freeze its dynamics into a well defined state, a signature of the quantum Zeno effect. Here we show that for a many-body system evolving under competing unitary evolution and variable-strength measurements the onset of the Zeno effect takes the form of a sharp phase transition. Using the Quantum Ising chain with continuous monitoring of the transverse magnetization as paradigmatic example we show that for weak measurements the entanglement produced by the unitary dynamics remains protected, and actually enhanced by the monitoring, while only above a certain threshold the system is sharply brought into an uncorrelated Zeno state. We show that this transition is invisible to the average dynamics, but encoded in the rare fluctuations of the stochastic measurement process, which we show to be perfectly captured by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian which takes the form of a Quantum Ising model in an imaginary valued transverse field. We provide analytical results based on the fermionization of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in supports of our exact numerical calculations.

Bu çalışmada imidacloprid’in sazan yavrularının bazı biyokimyasal parametrelerine olan toksik etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada ortalama ağırlığı 0,34±0,03 g ve 2,97±0,21 cm boyunda olan sazan yavruları kullanıldı. Balıklar, imidacloprid’in 2,8 ve 5,6 mg/L konsantrasyonuna 4 ve 7 gün için maruz bırakıldı. Süre sonunda balıkların tüm vücudunda lipit, protein ve glikojen içeriği belirlendi. Test gruplarında çalışma sonuna kadar ölüm gözlenmedi. İmidacloprid uygulanan balıklarda protein ve glikojen miktarlarında önemli derecede azalma (p<0,05) olduğu tespit edildi. Toplam lipit düzeyi, 7. günde 5,6 mg/L imidacloprid uygulanan grupta yüksek olduğu görüldü. Ancak bu değerin kontrol grubundan istatistiki olarak farklı olmadığı tespit edildi. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler, imidacloprid’in balıkların biyokimyasal parametrelerine toksik etki gösterdiğinin bir kanıtı olarak düşünülebilir.

In the present study it was aimed to determine the acute toxicity of zinc on southern medicinal leech Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820 that being used in the ecotoxicological studies. The experiment was conducted for 96 hours using the semi-static bioassay method with replicate two times. The leeches were exposed to zinc concentrations of 6.25 mg/L, 12.50 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L, respectively. As a result of the experiment, the LC50 values for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were determined 48.30 mg/L, 19.68 mg/L, 15.48 mg/L, and 14.12 mg/L, respectively. The LT50 values for 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L zinc concentrations were determined 38.63 hours, 24.55 hours, 14.62 hours, and 12.78 hours, respectively. Defecation, intensive mucus output, uncontrolled swimming, attempt to escape from the experiment media, reducing the cling power, coiling (buckling), vomiting the digestive blood, the body deformations, penile prolapse, hemorrhage and abrasion in the wall of the body were the main physiological and behavioral responses in the leeches which were exposed to the different zinc solutions. The data obtained revealed that the zinc sensitivity of H. verbana was moderate when compared to other organisms. It is expected that the data of the present study will contribute to the management of endangered medicinal leech populations.
Um bígamo nas Minas Gerais: a trajetória de Antonio José Cogominho
Authors: Dias Letícia Maia
Published: August 2021

O Santo Ofício português, embora não tenha estabelecido um Tribunal no Brasil, atuou expressivamente na sociedade colonial, mediante a tentativa de disciplinar, julgar e punir os comportamentos, hábitos e costumes em conformidade com os preceitos da Igreja Católica.  A bigamia se configurava como um delito Mixti Fori; isto é, violava as normas da justiça civil, eclesiástica e inquisitorial. Posto isto, buscamos mostrar, através da análise do processo inquisitorial de Antonio José Cogominho, algumas particularidades da sociedade mineira setecentista. Ademais, tentamos também perceber a bigamia através da própria estrutura dos casamentos coloniais, uma vez que o ato de casar de novo evidenciava brechas inerentes aos processos matrimoniais que podem ter sido estrategicamente usadas pelos bígamos. Portanto, procuramos traçar os principais aspectos da sociedade em Minas Gerais ao longo do século XVIII por meio de uma perspectiva que dialogue com a trajetória deste acusado e as estruturas matrimoniais coloniais existentes.

Authors: Sapulette Alce Albartin
Published: August 2021

The Conflict in Maluku on January 19th, 1999 affected the harmony of life of the Moluccas universally. As a result, the people of Maluku live segregated in their respective communities. However, there are still groups of people who continue to live in harmony within the framework of diversity, namely the Tamilouw people on Seram-Maluku Island. The social harmony found in Tamilouw which is multi-ethnic and multi-religious is inseparable from the role of actors, and the workings of a systematic social structure. This study aimed to find out how the actors construct in the frame of diversity to achieve social harmony in the daily lives of Tamilouw people. The discipline approach used was the sociology of knowledge, using the reality construction theory of Peter Berger and Luckmann. The research paradigm used was constructivism with a qualitative approach. Key informants were religious leaders, indigenous leaders, community leaders, indigenous people and migrants. Data collection was carried out using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The techniques of data analysis was the data flow analysis model according to Miles & Huberman. Based on the research findings, data analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that: Social harmony maintained in Tamilouw, Seram-Maluku Island, is the result of the integration of four main actors, namely religious leaders, traditional leaders, government figures and youth leaders. These four actors have a network or bond of trust, work strategies and rules of prevailing norms.
The Dilemma of Agricultural Mechanization and the Marginalization of Women Farmworkers in Rural Areas
Authors: Kurniawan Fuat Edi
Published: August 2021

Agricultural mechanization is one of the efforts to accelerate agricultural development through technological changes in agriculture. However, mechanization replaced human labor. The development of agricultural equipment and machinery technology (= Alsintan), which produces agricultural processing machines, has created a new role that replaces agricultural laborers' position. Women farmworkers are the most disadvantaged by mechanization. This study used a qualitative research method with a case study in Gadingsari Village, Bantul. This study shows that agricultural mechanization in Gadingsari Village has shifted the working mechanism of agriculture, to cultivate rice fields from human power to Alsintan, such as tractors, grinding machines, and threshing machines. Apart from leaving the traditional agricultural processing system, this change directly affects female agricultural laborers' employment opportunities because machinery has replaced the job and because men operate the majority of Alsintan. Hence, the dilemma: Changes in agricultural technology accelerate agricultural development, but at the same time increasingly marginalize female agricultural laborers. In the concept of a risk society, gender-biased technology places women at risk of modernity. Consequently, reflection on these risks is needed to find ways to accelerate inclusive agricultural development and promote gender equality

A village is an arena for sustainable development where economic, social, cultural, environmental and political interactions occur. It has a strategic meaning for the successful achievement of the 17 indicators of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, villages have limitations in providing data and indicators to measure the achievement of SDGs based on RW. The aims of this study are to provide Precision Village Data (DDP) and use it to measure and analyze the achievement indicators of 16 out of 17 village SDGs. One of SDGs 14, namely the marine ecosystem is not measured because the research location is a terrestrial village with an altitude of 423-902 m ASL. The use of DDP in the research location with normalization and aggregation methods based on arithmetic averages made this study successful in calculating the scores of each village SDGs. Then the results of the analysis of the village DDP and SDGs were combined with spatial mapping. The results showed that the SDGs in Sukamantri Village cumulatively achieved quite good results. A total of 3 SDGs was classified as very good, 4 SDGs were classified as good, 3 SDGs were classified as good enough, 5 SDGs were lacking, and 2 SDGs were poorest. Referring to the SDGs index calculation for Sukamantri Village, the environmental pillar has the highest score and is on average very good. However, the social and economic pillars are in the poor category, the law and governance pillars are in the poorest category. This means that sustainable development in Sukamantri Village has not been achieved. The natural wealth in Sukamantri Village has not been managed to achieve the fulfillment of basic human rights that are of a just and equal quality, for the well-being of the villagers and the realization of inclusive and quality economic growth.

Do Chief Audit Executives Matter? Evidence from Turnover Events
Authors: Lobo Gerald J. , Lyu Meng , Wang Bing , Zhang Joseph H.
Published: August 2021

We investigate the chief audit executive's (CAE) internal audit supervisory role by examining the change in internal audit monitoring effectiveness following the turnover of CAEs. Using a sample of firms listed on the small and medium enterprise board of China's stock exchange, we find that CAE turnover is accompanied by a reduction in financial reporting/internal control quality and that the reduction is more pronounced for firms whose successor CAEs have lower financial expertise than their predecessors. Further analysis shows that the negative association with financial reporting/internal control quality is stronger when the turnover is for personal reasons than when it is for internal transfer of the CAE. These findings are robust to a battery of sensitivity checks, including placebo tests and matching diagnostics. Our results highlight the importance of the CAE for a firm's internal audit functions.

Evaluation of Color-matching Ability of a Structural Colored Resin Composite
Authors: Saegusa M , Kurokawa H , Takahashi N , Takamizawa T , Ishii R , Shiratsuchi K , Miyazaki M
Published: August 2021

Purpose:

The present study evaluated the color-matching ability of a structural colored resin composite to compare it with resin composites employing pigments.

Methods and Materials:

A structural colored resin composite (Omnichroma [OMC]), a supranano-filled resin composite (Estelite ∑ Quick [ELQ]), and a nano-filled resin composite (Filtek Supreme Ultra [FSU]) were used. Each resin composite was packed into a Teflon mold and pressed down with a clear strip under a glass slide. The specimens were light irradiated through the slide with a light-emitting diode curing unit. The thickness of the specimens (n=6) was measured with a digital caliper before being transferred to distilled water and stored at 37°C for 24 hours. The measurements of the optical characteristics of the specimens on a black-and-white background were performed using a spectrophotometer. D65 (CIE D65) was used as a light source for the spectrophotometer. Measurements were repeated three times for each specimen under each color-measurement condition, and average values for three same-shade specimens were calculated. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests were used (α=0.05). To determine its ability to match the color of artificial teeth, each shade of resin composite was placed in a cavity before performing color measurements. Using a spectrophotometer (CMS-35F S/C) with a flexible sensor, L*, a*, and b* values were obtained.

Results:

The spectral reflectance curve of OMC showed that it reflected light wavelengths from 430–700 nm regardless of the background color and thickness of the specimens. The percentage of reflectance of ELQ decreased near wavelengths of 550–580 nm. Regarding the influence of background color on CIE L*, a*, b* values, the L* level showed significantly higher values for all tested materials with white backgrounds, and OMC was most affected by the difference in background color. However, a* values of ELQ and FSU were significantly higher with a black background than with a white background, and OMC showed a significantly higher value with a white background than with a black background. The b* values were higher with a white background than with a black background and were significantly higher for all three products, and these tendencies were much greater for ELQ and FSU.

Conclusions:

The ability of OMC to match the color of artificial teeth showed acceptable color compatibility, regardless of the shade of the artificial teeth and the depth of the cavity. However, ELQ and FSU showed reduced color compatibility, especially for a cavity depth of 3.0 mm. Excellent color matching ability was confirmed for the structural colored resin composite OMC, resulting in reduced color differences and therefore improving the esthetic appearance of the restoration, simplifying shade matching, and compensating for any color mismatch.
THE MECHANISMS OF PERCEPTION AND COMPREHENSION OF FOREIGN TEXTS: PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASPECT
Authors: KOTELNIKOVA ANASTASIA N.
Published: August 2021

This article describes a psycholinguistic research into the mechanisms of perception and comprehension of a foreign text based on the psycholinguistic method applying the modified “counter-text” technique developed by A. I. Novikov. The experiment is based on the physiological principle of dominant by A. A. Ukhtomsky. Within this article, a post in the translation Internet community acts as an incentive text, and comments on it play the role of reactions, a kind of “counter-texts”. It is supposed that “counter-texts”, to some extent, allow establishing and verbalizing the dominants that exist in the minds of those who perceive the text; the authors also believe these dominants to influence the process of meaning formation and translation results.

Published: August 2021

Background: Obesity is a fast-growing global epidemic; it is associated with several comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Bariatric surgery is increasingly used due to its positive impacts on most of the comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with morbid obesity as it improves glycemia, lipids,blood pressure, andinflammation. Aim: To assess the effect of bariatric surgery on diabetic and dyslipidemic patients. Method: This is a retrospective study conducted on diabetic and dyslipidemic patients who underwent bariatric surgery. The study included the data of patients from 2009 to 2018 from KSMC. SPSS was used to analyze the collected data. Results: There were 808 diabetic patients included with a mean ±SD age of 42.1±11.05 years old, and 25 dyslipidemic patients with a mean ±SD age of 45.4±8.2 years. There were 72.4% of diabetic patients and 52% of dyslipidemic patients completed the treatment. Regarding diabetic patients, the outcome of patients was significantly associated with nationality (P˂0.0001) and the mean age of patients (P˂0.0001). The mean age had a significant impact on the outcome of the diabetic patients (P=˂0.0001) and had no effect in the case of the dyslipidemic patients (P=0.37). Conclusion: Bariatric surgery has a significant impact on chronic diseases such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, with a higher impact on diabetes compared to dyslipidemia.

A positive result of treatment of patients suffering from ischemic-gangrenous form ofdiabetic foot syndrome (DFS) becomes possible with an optimal choice of surgery,effective renewal of blood supply and active stimulation of tissue restoration processon the cellular level.Objective – to study efficiency of the suggested organ-saving variant of surgery combinedwith the use of a complex of auxiliary factors of a reparative process activation in thewound including regional ozone therapy, vacuum sanitation and local application ofautologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP).Material and methods. The treatment of 210 patients with ischemic-gangrenous formof diabetic foot syndrome was carried out from 2017 to 2020. The efficiency of one ofthe variants of organ-saving operative intervention was studied. In the control group -104 (49.52%), the treatment was carried out in accordance with the standard scheme.In the main group (106 patients - 50.47%), in addition to the standard scheme, regionalozone therapy, vacuum sanitation and local application of autologous-rich plasma(PRP) were carried out.Results. These measures reduced the period of treatment of patients in the hospital to24 ± 1.2 days in the main group compared to 37 ± 2, 4 in the control one. 2 years later, patients of the main group confirmed the formation of a foot stumpfunctionally adapted for walking with angular dislocation of fragments of the cuboidand scaphoid bones.Conclusions. The suggested modification of the organ-saving and partial foot amputationin patients with IV degree of ischemia and DFS is indicative of a possibility to performsuch kind of surgery as a variant of choice for patients with ischemic-gangrenousform of diabetic foot syndrome. The complex of auxiliary measures (regional ozonetherapy, vacuum sanitation and local administration of autologous platelet-rich plasma(APRP)), activates a reparative process of healing of a chronic foot wound whichenables to make the period of hospital staying for patients shorter – to 24±1,2 days inthe main group as compared to 37±2,4 days in the control one. Clinical observation ofa remote postoperative period (2 years later) confirms a possibility to form a foot stumpfunctionally adapted for walking with angular dislocation of fragments of the cuboidand scaphoid bones, functionally advantageous for supporting load.

Published: August 2021

The Internet of Things (IoT) systems create a large amount of sensing information. The consistency of this information is an essential problem for ensuring the quality of IoT services. The IoT data, however, generally suffers due to a variety of factors such as collisions, unstable network communication, noise, manual system closure, incomplete values and equipment failure. Due to excessive latency, bandwidth limitations, and high communication costs, transferring all IoT data to the cloud to solve the missing data problem may have a detrimental impact on network performance and service quality. As a result, the issue of missing information should be addressed as soon as feasible by offloading duties like data prediction or estimations closer to the source. As a result, the issue of incomplete information must be addressed as soon as feasible by offloading duties such as predictions or assessment to the network’s edge devices. In this work, we show how deep learning may be used to offload tasks in IoT applications.

Ciudadanía intercultural crítica y decolonial en Nuestra América: la resistencia de los pueblos indígenas en los territorios ancestrales
Authors: Sandoval Forero Eduardo Andrés , Capera Figueroa José Javier
Published: August 2021

La resistencia histórica de carácter sociocultural e identitaria que han realizado los pueblos indígenas refleja la condición de luchar por otros escenarios en donde coexista un equilibro armónico entre la vida, la tierra y el territorio. Parte de esta narrativa se organizó como un espacio epistémico emergente, el cual apuesta por deconstruir la recolonización auspiciada por los grupos hegemónicos desde los intereses privados y mercantiles de los de arriba sobre los medios, las redes e instituciones moderno-coloniales. De esta forma, la finalidad de la presente reflexión consiste en realizar una aproximación sobre la concepción de una ciudadanía indígena intercultural decolonial, teniendo en cuenta los procesos de liberación y decolonialidad gestados en Nuestra América, puesto que son referentes de las expresiones de luchas/resistencias emanadas por los pueblos indígenas, que están orientadas a promover una cosmovisión sobre la defensa en los territorios ancestrales. La lógica metodológica, utilizada para la construcción del texto, es de un análisis crítico y horizontal desde el sujeto, teniendo como base la importancia de deliberar sobre las experiencias decolonizadoras.
Legal nature of individual proceedings in cases of granting the right to marriage
Authors: Balyuk T.M.
Published: August 2021

The scientific article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of separate proceedings in cases of granting the right to marry.It is established that a separate proceeding as a type of non-litigious civil proceedings is characterized by: 1) the absence of a dispute about the right, which, at the same time, does not exclude the existence of a dispute about the fact; 2) a special object of judicial protection – a legally protected (legitimate) interest, which is the needs and aspi-rations to use a specific material and (or) intangible asset, which may or may not be mediated by a certain subjective right. Protection of legally protected (legal) interest is carried out by the court by deciding on the presence or absence of legal facts relevant to the protection of rights, freedoms and interests of a person or creating conditions for the exercise of personal non-property or property rights or confirmation of the presence or absence of undisputed rights.It is determined that a separate proceeding in cases of granting the right to marry is a type of non-litigious civil proceedings for consideration of applications for confirmation of the presence or absence of legal facts that are im-portant for creating conditions for a person’s right to marry.

It is substantiated that the legal nature of separate proceedings in cases of granting the right to marry is a set of substantive grounds for granting the right to marry and features of the procedural form of consideration by the court of relevant applications that mediate changes in family law. The court, establishing the presence or absence of legal facts, decides to grant a person the right to marry, thereby expanding the family law capacity of such a person due to the ability to exercise the right to marry before reaching marriageable age or marry between the adopter’s adopted child and the adopted child, as well as between children who have been adopted by an adoptive parent.
Legal nature of the leasing agreement and its peculiarities

The article examines the legal nature of leasing in Ukraine. The issues of scientific analysis of the essence and mechanism of civil renewal of legal transformed regulation of the economics of leasing research legal relations in traditional Ukraine are considered. In the capital of modern economic instability in the means of Ukraine’s economy, the urgency of regulation acquires the issue of developed effective responsibilities and rational legal use of existing resources, investment, procurement, enterprise, search for effective funds, methods of accelerated legal development destroyed equipment is the case of the development of a developed lease relationship, the state in particular the financial entrepreneur. Investment leases help countries entrepreneurs who cope with the most economically important task due in the financial business - leasing constant financial renewal risks means synonymous with production and production maintaining them develops at a developed proper due level dynamically mastering develops.It is the loan due to the investment leased post-war mastery of Germany and equipment developed by Japan turned accelerated from the need for economically sound destroyed Germany states into a legal country with a mechanism of strong which and funds developed loan economy leasing.

In the financing of countries with major developed economies to prove the task of one of the main lending types of investment investment regulation is used leasing.For Ukraine, this type of activity is relatively new, but is actively developing. Therefore, there is a need to bring Ukrainian legislation governing leasing relations in line with international standards and to define their clear legal criteria.It is also worth noting that the increase in investment activity in Ukraine will be largely determined by the presence of conditions attractive for the development of new forms of investment financing, including leasing. Therefore, providing the legal framework for the regulation of leasing relations is an extremely important task of the legislator.
Jusnaturalism as the foundation of the concept of international protection of human rights in H. Lauterpacht’s works
Authors: Sheredʹko O. M.
Published: August 2021

Prominent international law scholar H. Lauterpacht devoted most of his exploratory work to the issue of human rights in international law.This article reveals H. Lauterpacht’s views on the role of international law in the recognition and consolidation of human rights and the role of jusnaturalism as the basis of international human rights law. Analyzing the works by H. Lauterpacht, we can say that the scholar was the founder of international human rights law. Natural law and natural human rights, according to H. Lauterpacht, have been the unchanging basis of human rights of all times.The origins and periodization of jusnaturalism in the works of leading international law scholar are considered. The main statements of the representatives of the natural law concept of different times, in particular, the basic ideas in the works of Socrates, Aulis Aarnio, Francisco de Vitoria, Francisco Suarez, Alberico Gentili, Thomas Hobbes, Samuel von Pufendorf, Hugo Grotius are outlined.The views of prominent philosophers are the foundation of the concept of jusnaturalism. 

Numerous supporters of the concept of natural law in different periods of history testify to its importance at every stage of human rights development.International law in this matter is a kind of second stage of recognition and protection of human rights, after recognition in the national law of states.International law is designed to consolidate the rights granted by nature to the human in the international arena.H. Lauterpacht saw the real recognition and protection of human rights by enshrining them in an international document signed by all countries of the world.The scientist proposed a draft international document on the recognition of human rights at the international level called International Bill of the Rights of Man. The provisions proposed in this document were later enshrined in international instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966.

In the context of increasing the electronic components integration level, growing functionality and packaging density, as well as reducing the electronics weight and size, an integrated approach to engineering calculations of parts and assemblies of modern functionally and technically complex microelectronic products is required. Of particular importance are engineering calculations and structural modeling using computer-aided engineering systems, and also assessment of structural, technological and operational factors’ impact on the products reliability and performance. This work presents an approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method providing a comprehensive account of various factors (material properties, external loading, temperature fields, and other parameters) impact on the stress-strain state, mechanical strength, thermal condition, and other characteristics of products. On the example of parts and assemblies of products of microelectronic technology, the approximation of structures was shown and computer finite-element models were developed to study various structural and technological options of products and the effects on them. Engineering calculations and modeling of parts and assemblies were performed, taking into account the impact of material properties, design parameters and external influences on the products’ characteristics. Scientific and technical recommendations for structure optimization and design and technology solutions ensuring the products resistance to diverse effects were developed. It has been shown that an integrated approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method provides for the determination of optimal solutions taking into account structural, technological, and operational factors and allows the development of products with high tactical, technical and operational characteristics.
