Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events and metabolic disturbances. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyGI), a novel surrogate marker of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, is associated with CAC in the general population and in patients with diabetes. This study investigated the association between the TyGI and CAC progression in patients with CKD, which is unknown. Methods: A total of 1,154 patients with CKD (grades 1–5; age, 52.8 ± 11.9 years; male, 688 [59.6%]) were enrolled from the KNOWCKD (KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease). The TyGI was calculated as follows: ln (fasting triglycerides × fasting glucose/2). Patients were classified into tertiles (low, intermediate, high) based on the TyGI. The primary outcome was annualized percentage change in CAC score [(percent change in CAC score + 1)12/follow-up months – 1] of ≥15%, defined as CAC progression. Results: During the 4-year follow-up, the percentage of patients with CAC progression increased across TyGI groups (28.6%, 37.5%, and 46.2% in low, intermediate, and high groups, respectively; p < 0.001). A high TyGI was associated with an increased risk of CAC progression (odds ratio [OR], 2.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14–3.88; p = 0.02) compared to the low group. Moreover, a 1-point increase in the TyGI was related to increased risk of CAC progression (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.06–1.76; p = 0.02) after adjustment. Conclusion: A high TyGI may be a useful predictor of CAC progression in CKD.

Published: May 2024

Aim. Investigate the effect of additional therapy of atorvastatin, essential phospholipids and their combination on activity of aminotransferases in RA patients with NAFLD.

Materials and Methods. We investigated 126 RA patients and 30 in control. 77 RA patients with NAFLD were divided into three groups. I: 25 RA patients received 10 mg of atorvastatin per day. II: 26 RA patients received essential phospholipids 1800 mg per day. III: 26 RA patients received essential phospholipids 1800 mg per day and atorvastatin 10 mg per day for 6 months.

The results. In the I group, a transient increase in ALT and AST activity was observed to 35.11±3.501 U/l and 30.51±2.19 U/l, respectively, and a spontaneous decrease in elevated transaminases was recorded after 6 months of atorvastatin use. In the II group, a decrease in ALT by 25.6% was observed compared to the indicators before treatment, and they remained unchanged even after 6 months. After 3 months of complex use of atorvastatin and essential phospholipids, ALT activity decreased by 33.8% and AST decreased by 8.2%, which was not observed in RA patients with NAFLD of groups I and II.

Conclusions. Use essential phospholipids 600 mg three times a day and atorvastatin 10 mg per day for 6 months in addition to antirheumatic therapy in RA patients with NAFLD allows to avoid a transient increase in aminotransferases, reduce the severity of hepatotoxic reactions, and avoid stopping or canceling antirheumatic therapy.
A Rare Case of Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Secondary To Tuberculosis
Authors: Baishya Nirupam Konwar
Published: May 2024

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a relatively rare, potentially life-threatening condition that causes intestinal loops to become encapsulated as a fibro-collagen cocoon. Despite advances in treatment, mortality is high. It shows vague clinical signs and is therefore difficult to diagnose clinically. Abdominal Contrast Enhanced CT (CECT) is an excellent modality for diagnosing the condition, assessing its complications such as perforation, and guiding the treatment approach to the condition. This case report highlights a rare case of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis in a young adult secondary to tuberculosis. Although the most common secondary cause of SPE is peritoneal dialysis, consideration of tuberculosis as a cause of such a condition is very important, especially in the Indian context.

The present study aims to explicate the significance of the international trade laws in resolving the disputes arising between Indonesia and the United States. The export activity is a crucial aspect of a country's economy as it augments its foreign exchange earnings. Indonesia, being one of the largest exporters of the non-oil resource, i.e., shrimp, nonetheless, encounters impediments in its exports. The U.S. has accused Indonesia of endowing subsidies to exporters, thereby suppressing the prices of its commodities. The involvement of the WTO is indeed imperative in this regard as it is incumbent upon the organization to address the predicaments faced by its member states. This study employs the qualitative research method, wherein the researcher combines the acquired data as a reference for the research. This enables us to see how the portrayal of the importance of international trade law is formed to achieve agreements between nations and also to resolve various disputes that arise.
Judicial practice as a result of state law-making
Authors: Osaulenko V.
Published: May 2024

In the content of the article, the author revealed the relevance of scientific knowledge of judicial practice issues as a result of the implementation of law-making by the state through the relevant authorized subjects. It was noted that the participation of the state in law-making in the modern conditions of legal development in Ukraine is the subject of many discussions and discussions on the part of representatives of legal doctrine. However, the most controversial and ambiguous result of scientific research remains the question of the law-making role of judicial practice, the subject of which is generated exclusively by the subjects of the judicial system. The participation of the state in the formation and approval of the results of judicial practice is absolute and without alternatives, such powers cannot be delegated and cannot be waived. And therefore, this indicates the exclusive monopoly of the state on the formation of judicial practice, granting it a law-making status, ensuring its renewal and monitoring its implementation. In connection with this, in the cognitive plan, the question of the peculiarities of judicial practice as a law-making phenomenon, in the context of balancing the participation of the state and civil society in the mechanism of modern law-making, is relevant. Based on the analysis of scientists' views on the issue of state participation in the generation of judicial practice, it was concluded that judicial practice is defined by its multifaceted nature and can be defined as: 1) a means of identifying deficiencies in legal regulation; 2) a law-making means of overcoming gaps in the legislation; 3) a means of generalizing the law-making influence on social relations; 4) a means of creating law-making proposals to improve the provisions of the current legislation; 5) a means of interpreting legal norms, which is carried out by realizing and clarifying the law­making intention, which is embedded in the content of the provisions of the legislation, and explaining it to the subjects of the law; 6) a means of law-making control, which provides, during the consideration of a court case, a check of the current legal norms for their compliance with the norms established by the Constitution, norms of international law or norms established by law­making acts of higher legal force, as well as for compliance with the rules of temporal and spatial effect of legal norms; 7) a means of law-making initiative, according to which judicial practice is considered as a special means of developing law­making proposals and initiating their consideration by competent bodies.
The right to freedom of speech: theoretical and legal aspect
Authors: Pankratova V.O.
Published: May 2024

The article defines the right to freedom as a vital role in the existence of humanity, as it allows citizens to take an active part in the country's political life and shape public opinion. The author notes that the right to freedom of speech has ancient historical origins.
Documents were analyzed in which the principle of freedom of speech was declared, in particular the Great Charter of Freedoms (1215), Bill of Rights (1689), Declaration of Independence (1776), Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789), Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) and other acts. It is emphasized that these documents became the basis for developing the right to freedom of speech in modern democratic countries and provided an opportunity to freely express one's opinions without being persecuted by the authorities. The article pays special attention to domestic regulation of the right to freedom of speech.
The author notes that freedom of speech is one of the critical components of human and citizen rights in many legal systems. The theoretical aspect of this issue includes the analysis of different approaches and concepts to understanding the essence and scope of this subjective legal right. Philosophical foundations and legal methods for understanding "freedom of speech” are described.
It was determined that the right to freedom of speech is not absolute and may be limited. The work lists the circumstances under which the outlined right may be limited. The author emphasizes that possible restrictions must be legal, necessary in a democratic society, and comply with the principle of proportionality.
The article summarizes that freedom of speech is historically an essential human right, which forms the basis of the legal status of an individual. Without it, the functioning of a democratic state is impossible at all. But at the same time, it should be taken into account that freedom of speech is not only a right but also a responsibility that rests on those who use this right. Ensuring its adequate protection requires a combination of international standards, national legislation, and constant adaptation to modern realities.
Сoncept of the draft normative-legal act аs a law-making phenomenon
Authors: Sachko A.
Published: May 2024

In the article, the author focuses on the relevance of the conceptual and categorical analysis of any phenomena and processes of legal reality, especially the phenomenon of the concept, which is today the basis of improving the functioning of jurisprudence. It was noted that due to constant changes in the socio-economic situation, technological progress, as well as foreign policy factors, it is important to adapt the legislation to new realities. Understanding and studying various concepts of the development of legislation, as well as their impact on legal practice, allows you to effectively analyze and improve the country's legal system. This approach helps to ensure legal stability, protection of citizens' rights, and increased confidence in the legal system in general. First of all, in cognitive terms, it is important to conduct an analysis of the studied phenomenon of the concept through the prism of its conceptual-categorical dimension, which will allow to generalize its properties and improve the definition. The indicated vector of scientific knowledge will first of all strengthen the methodological basis for further research of concepts as a law-making phenomenon, define clear boundaries of the subject of scientific knowledge, establish cognitive regularities of concepts, putting them in the basis of a corresponding unified doctrinal understanding of them. In the content of the work, an analysis of the concept as a special law-making phenomenon, determination of approaches to its understanding that have developed in legal science, clarification of the features of the concept of the project of a normative-legal act, and improvement of the definition of the concept as a component of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of legal science are carried out. It was concluded that in the process of preparing a draft of a comprehensive normative legal act, one cannot do without a preliminary conclusion of its concept. In addition, the concept of writing a normative legal act can be brought up for discussion. In this way, it is proved that the concept of a normative legal act is an important stage and component of the normative design process, because the development of the correct concept allows to further formulate the provisions of the text of the normative act more clearly.
Constitutional foundations of local self-government in Ukraine
Authors: Pyroha I.S. , Pyroha M.I.
Published: May 2024

The constitutional foundations of local self­government in Ukraine are norms-principles reflected in more than 20 articles of the Constitution of Ukraine. Norms establishing the legal, organizational, material and financial foundations of local self-government provide for the establishment of a democratic decentralized management system, based on independent territorial communities, local self-government bodies, which are entrusted with the decision of all issues of local importance. Real effective local self-government is possible only in the presence of certain conditions that have objectively developed in society, and which collectively form the basis of local self-government. The basics of local self­government create the foundation, that is, the foundation on which the entire system of local self-government is built. One of the fundamental foundations of local self-government is the participation of citizens in the social and political life of the state.
The topicality of the topic is due primarily to the fact that at the current stage of democratic transformation of our country, local self­government is the basis of civil society. Local self-government is one of the most important institutions of a democratic state. Its development is a central scientific problem of municipal law and a "cornerstone” in municipal science for many decades, since its inception. The 1996 Constitution of Ukraine created the legal basis for the development of local self-government as a special type of public power. The article analyzes the constitutional principles that established the status of municipal power, their influence on further legislation and practice of local self­government. The constitutional principles of local self-government are analyzed. The approaches available in modern jurisprudence regarding the definition of the concept of "basics of local self­government” have been considered. Arguments are presented in favor of separating the organizational- legal, territorial, and material-financial bases of the activity of local self-government bodies.
Problematic aspects of the implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of jurisprudence
Authors: Hryshko V. , Vozniuk S.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to highlighting problematic aspects of the implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of jurisprudence, in particular, in certain branches of law. Due to the rapid development of neural network capabilities, artificial intelligence is a tool for quickly completing tasks and processing information in various spheres of society, including in jurisprudence. Therefore, for a comprehensive analysis, it is necessary to identify problem areas for the implementation of such a phenomenon.
It is noted that today there is no unified approach to defining the concept of artificial intelligence. The authors provide several definitions of this concept for the most complete understanding of the essence of artificial intelligence. The legislation does not contain a normative legal act dedicated to the issue of the essence and procedure for using artificial intelligence, which gives rise to such dilemmas. Despite the widespread use of artificial intelligence capabilities among citizens, there is a lack of interest, funding and development of educational methods for the effective use of artificial intelligence in professional activities on the part of government authorities. It is also stated that the introduction of artificial intelligence into professional activities requires staffing with specialists who can service the software.
The problems of introducing artificial intelligence in the field of legal proceedings are analyzed. The use of artificial intelligence by courts risks undermining the autonomy of courts and the independence of judges. Artificial intelligence is not able to comprehensively evaluate evidence and make decisions based on moral standards. The issues of transparency of courts, guaranteeing fundamental human rights and freedoms, and software reliability remain open.
The legal status of artificial intelligence in civil law is considered. Since artificial intelligence is capable of creating a work, questions remain regarding the protection of copyrights using artificial intelligence and legal liability in case of copyright infringement. A debatable and controversial topic is the definition of artificial intelligence as a subject or object in a civil legal relationship.
It has been determined that the introduction of artificial intelligence in criminal proceedings can become a factor in increasing cyber attacks on the neural network with the aim of stealing, destroying, and making data public.
Peculiarities of the institution of property alienation contracts in the Anglo-American legal system
Authors: Bohdanets A.V. , Vlasenko V.V.
Published: May 2024

The article examines topical issues of the institution of property alienation contracts in the Anglo-American legal system. Peculiarities of the civil law contract in the countries of the Anglo-American legal system are determined. Definitions of «civil legal system» and «alienation of property» are provided. The legal aspects of concluding contracts regarding the alienation of property are analyzed, in particular the form and conditions of concluding such contracts, as well as the peculiarities of legal regulation of the definition of the subject of contracts regarding the alienation of property. The stage of conclusion of contracts on the alienation of property in the countries of the Anglo-American legal system is studied.
Attention is focused on the fact that a distinctive feature of the development of the institution of contractual relations in the countries of the Anglo- American legal system is that, firstly, it took place under the significant influence of judicial practice; secondly, found its consolidation in the norms of common law. However, regarding certain types of property alienation contracts, it is worth noting that they are regulated by the norms of special legislative acts.
It has been analyzed that, in practice, the relations of the parties concluding a contract of alienation of property are largely regulated not by legal norms that make up positive law, but by the norms of their own «contractual law» created by the parties, that is, by the terms of the contract they have. The content of specific property alienation contracts in this way is determined not so much by the satisfaction of the mutual interests of the counterparties, but by the capabilities and wishes of the economically stronger partner and the necessity dictated by the specific situation of the weaker party to the agreement.
It was concluded that the regulation of the institution of property alienation contracts in the countries of the Anglo-American legal system has its own characteristics. In particular, in England, it is possible to note the increased activity of the parliament in the field of regulating civil relations, which is manifested in particular in the adoption of new and amendments to already existing laws, which are voluminous in their content, as a result of which in practice they are even called codified.
Trademark protection in the sphere of fashion and with the help of artificial intelligence
Authors: Buletsa S.B.
Published: May 2024

A registered trademark can offer legal safeguard for a designer's name, brand name, emblem, logo, color or combination of colors, pattern, and so on. Ukrainian designers frequently establish trademarks by registering their names, sometimes accompanied by a graphic picture. Not just the brand name and designer's name, but also other aspects can be registered as a trademark. Regrettably, securing legal protection for a certain color or color combination is a challenging task. It requires providing evidence that a particular color is strongly linked to a specific fashion brand, such as the turquoise shade of a Tiffany box or the crimson hue of a Christian Louboutin sole. Registering a trademark is an effective method for preventing the importation and production of counterfeit goods. Nevertheless, it is impractical to safeguard the complete collection from plagiarism due to the insufficient time available for registering a trademark for a newly updated collection every month (ZARA, HM, OVS).
Representatives of the Ukrainian fashion industry prioritize safeguarding their brands over safeguarding intellectual property rights for the models they produce. On one side, this scenario is justifiable, as Ukrainian designers hardly infringe upon the law, unlike worldwide companies. It is recommended to register an industrial design when a designer makes a distinctive model, technology, or print. The future of trademark protection lies in artificial intelligence. The verdict delivered on 8 February 2023 in the MetaBirkin case carries favorable consequences for the fashion industry and trademark proprietors at large. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that in this specific instance, the unauthorized utilization of the trademark was unequivocally acknowledged.
Hermes has effectively shown its deliberate plan to enter the intangible assets market prior to the disputed circumstances. Therefore, trademark owners who encounter challenges in presenting proof of premeditated intention to participate in the non-traditional technology market should implement all essential procedures and regulations to safeguard their brand rights in the meta­network and other domains. Expanding trademark registration to encompass the sale of NFTs and digital goods in general is of utmost importance.
Given that the fashion industry and its protection are developing at a rapid pace, the following problems arise in Ukraine in this area related to the protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine: illegal use, theft or counterfeiting of works, patents, trademarks and other objects intellectual property; length of court cases combined with distrust of mediation; piracy and smuggling. Therefore, certain elements used in each collection, such as the trademark or designer print on the fabric, are legally protected.
The obligation of adult children to take care of their disabled parents as a common law problem
Authors: Kuchuk A.M.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the study is determined by insufficient study of the duty of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents and the necessity to clarify the general and legal characteristics of this duty. It is substantiated that the basis for understanding the issue of the obligation of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents should be the understanding of the legal obligation as such an appropriate behavior involving either the conscious voluntary assumption of the corresponding obligation, or the conscious consent of the person to the presence of a corresponding obligation; a legal prescription alone is not enough (such a legal prescription should be perceived by a person as necessary, just, etc.). It is emphasized that the general and theoretical understanding of the issue of the duty of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents should be the basis for the sectoral regulation of relevant relations. Herewith, the basis of such consideration is the distinction between moral obligation and legal obligation (the difference between the right and an ordinary coercion).
The contradictions of the legislation's provisions regarding the obligation of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents in the context of legal capacity, as well as the institution of civil liability of the owner of the source of increased danger, are analyzed.
The nature of the duty of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents differs from the legal duty to protect the Motherland (which arises under similar conditions) is characterized. Attention is focused on the lack of full conscious perception of the first, its indefiniteness, failure to take into account individual peculiarities of implementation, etc. The expediency of taking into account of the state's social obligations when determining the content of the duty of children who have reached the full age to take care of disabled parents is noted.

THE EFFECT OF WORK-RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON WORK ENGAGEMENT
Authors: Holistika Defina
Published: May 2024

This study examined how different factors can influence employees' work engagement. Work-related social media use outside working hours can be a paradox with negative implications for work engagement. Perceived organizational support can be a boost that positively impacts work engagement. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 344 employees across sectors in the greater Jakarta area to test the research hypothesis. The collected data is then processed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The findings in this study indicate that work-related social media use and perceived organizational support are proven to significantly affect work engagement through the mediating role of organizational identification, work-to-family conflict, and family-to-work conflict. The results of this study are expected to be taken into consideration by organizations in formulating policies on setting balanced working hours, maximizing the role of organizational support, and minimizing the potential for work-family conflict so that employees can feel a strong sense of work engagement and maximize their contribution to the organization in the digital era.

Besos por celular. Artefactos y consumos culturales en la gestión cotidiana de lazos sociales durante la pandemia por Covid-19
Authors: Simonetti Paula
Published: May 2024

Durante el año 2020 millones de personas estuvieron confinadas en sus hogares a causa de la pandemia por la COVID-19 y las medidas gubernamentales que se implementaron en distintos países. La crisis sanitaria global tuvo efectos sociales, económicos, políticos y afectivos al tiempo que trastocó hasta las rutinas más básicas y automatizadas de las personas. En este artículo nos proponemos explorar, desde una mirada socioantropológica, los usos de artefactos tecnológicos y el rol de prácticas y consumos culturales en la vida cotidiana de hogares de sectores medios en Buenos Aires y en Montevideo; especialmente en la gestión y reinvención del lazo social en un contexto de enorme incertidumbre que amenazó las certezas ontológicas de los individuos. Así, mostraremos que las personas se relacionaron con prácticas culturales de maneras novedosas a fin de gestionar la doble amenaza provocada por la saturación de los vínculos socioafectivos «adentro» del hogar y la ausencia de encuentros en copresencia con los «de afuera». El análisis se basa en materiales etnográficos producidos por un equipo de investigadoras, estudiantes de grado y posgrado.

El presente artículo, inscrito en los estudios de prensa en relación al tratamiento informativo de hechos de violencia de género, es el resultado de una investigación que estudia las informaciones consignadas por cuatro medios chilenos de alcance nacional sobre el caso de femicidio frustrado cometido en contra de Nabila Rifo Ruiz, mujer chilena a quien le fueron arrancados los globos oculares. A partir de la aplicación de análisis de contenido categorial, se logró levantar la representación de los espacios domésticos que sirvieron de escenario al delito, así como identificar las semejanzas y diferencias consignadas al interior de las informaciones referidas a este caso y determinar la representación construida en torno a la víctima y el victimario, protagonistas del hecho noticioso analizado. Los hallazgos del estudio confirman el problemático rol que cumplen los medios masivos en términos de contribuir a perpetuar estereotipos tendientes a establecer atenuantes en relación a los actos cometidos por el victimario y a mantener ideas preconcebidas en torno a la personalidad de las mujeres víctimas de violencia de género.

El curso inferior del río Negro ha sido el escenario de exploraciones e investigaciones arqueológicas desde fines del siglo XIX, principalmente en la margen sur. Por el contrario, en la orilla norte (partido de Patagones, provincia de Buenos Aires) no se han llevado a cabo investigaciones arqueológicas. Recientemente se comenzó a prospectar sistemáticamente este sector junto a la costa Atlántica adyacente. Aquí se presentan los resultados preliminares del sitio El Churlaquín relacionados a geoarqueología, cronología, tecnología lítica y cerámica, subsistencia y tafonomía. Se trata de una base residencial de actividades múltiples redundantemente ocupada entre ca. 3700-1500 años AP (última parte del Holoceno medio y Holoceno tardío inicial). Se establecieron comparaciones con sitios estudiados en el curso medio de la cuenca con los cuales presenta una gran similitud. Como ha sido propuesto para este sector, en el área de estudio también se habría producido un uso sostenido de ambientes acuáticos.
An analysis of temperature control for electromagnetic induction heating of CFRP based on sparrow search algorithm

Accurate temperature control during the induction heating process of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is crucial for the curing effect of the material. This paper first builds a finite element model of induction heating, which combines the actual fiber structure and resin matrix, and systematically analyzes the heating mechanism and temperature field distribution of CFRP during the heating process. Based on the temperature distribution and variation observed in the material heating process, a PID control method optimized by sparrow search algorithm is proposed, which effectively reduces the temperature overshoot and improves the response speed. The experiment verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm in controlling the temperature of CFRP plate during the induction heating process. This study provides an effective control strategy and research method to improve the accuracy of temperature control in the induction heating process of CFRP, which helps to improve the results in this field.

The main aim of the paper was to reveal the main opportunities that the environment offers to the digitalization of public organizations, based on the systematic review of the specialized literature published in the Web of Science databases. From a methodological point of view, the research was carried out according to the PRISMA 2020 flow chart for the systematic reviews. In the initial phase, 347 articles/studies published in Web of Science on the topic of digitalization in public institutions were identified from which 43 articles/studies were excluded because they were not relevant for the purpose of the study. The systematic review of the literature that there is a significant amplification of concerns for the digitalization of public organizations, a fact demonstrated by the upward trend of publications and citations in the field, especially in recent years. The most important opportunities from the perspective of the digitalization of public institutions are economic (economic development and economic growth; Reducing administrative burden and designing a user-oriented approach; the delivery of appropriate services by the public sector and the restructuring of public institutions) and technological (big data, cloud storage, artificial intelligence, robots, chatbots, drones, virtual platforms and others).
GENERAL FRAMEWORK FROM CRISIS APPROACH AS TO MAINTAINING PERFORMANCE

In crisis management planning and providing information to an organisation or employees represents general framework for maintaining the performance. For that, is important to explain how organisational communication relies on a structure made up of networks for information and it must be created a crisis management teams to protect organisations from the adverse effects of a crisis situation. The purpose of the paper is to indicate the stages of crisis from the theoretical point of view to which the emotional and response factors are interfered, as they are consecrated in the literature, with the highlighting of a case study reflecting the way of collective reaction to a public conflict that, through integrated managerial methods, lead to the maintenance of the citizen's safety and, implicitly, to, establishing organizational performance indices after analyzing the mode of action. The originality and novelty of the paper consist precisely in the description of the case study, materialized in a plan of measures adapted to a crisis situation that has really been carried out, and through qualitative methods of observation and analysis of documents, specific indicators are revealed to maintain performance in an organization as a result of knowledge of the dysfunctions resulting from the conduct of the action, strengths and weakness. The conclusions will show a new comparative approach of the crisis field, which is customized to a concrete situation with applicability in the practice of institutions for maintaining and ensuring public order, the results obtained and their significance.

The first entrepreneurial activities date back many centuries. Developing and managing a business does not always mean that the business is successful, moreover, not every entrepreneur has managed to reach the level of excellence. Over the years, entrepreneurial activities have become more and more diverse and the ways to develop them have required more and more research and development to identify ways to innovate. Excellence in business is not easy to achieve, depending on the field of activity it may also require invention, not just innovation. However, we see that the pace of development in the markets is one that could not have been anticipated 20 years ago on such a scale, and this development has allowed the business to evolve along trajectories that, surely, decades ago were classified as science fiction. Artificial intelligence offers countless insights, sometimes giving the impression that the means of using it are limitless and certainly constantly innovative. In this article we will briefly look at how it evolved, the advantages and disadvantages of using it and, of course, how using it leads to business excellence.
