Sexual dimorphism and host genetics shape the gut microbiome of northern elephant seal pups (Mirounga angustirostris)
Authors: Yu Emily , DeCandia Alexandra , Graham Andrea , Whitmer Emily , Field Cara , vonHoldt Bridgett , Gaughran Stephen
Published: September 2023

Due to a population bottleneck, northern elephant seals (Mirounga
angustirostris ) have very low genetic diversity, making them ideal
model organisms for assessing the impact of genetic and non-genetic
factors on the gut microbiome. In our study, we were especially
interested in the role of sex given the northern elephant seal’s extreme
sexual dimorphism. We investigated 54 northern elephant seal pups that
were rescued from along the California coastline and brought to The
Marine Mammal Center, a rehabilitation facility. Using a metabarcoding
approach, we characterized microbial communities shortly after admission
to the facility and found that both sex and geographic origin explained
microbial variation. We detected significant differences in microbial
class and order composition between sexes. We further analyzed paired
samples from 24 seals at two time points, shortly after admission to the
rehabilitation facility and a month post-acclimation in the facility.
Between these two time points, microbial diversity increased, likely due
to changes in diet. While there was an overall convergence of microbiome
composition in a shared environment over time, remaining differences in
microbial composition were explained by sex and host genetics.

Published: September 2023

The monthly mean sunspot number has been larger in June-July 2023 than
the double peak of solar cycle 24 (146 in February 2014 and 139 in
November 2011) and brings us back to the sunspot level of solar cycle
23. However, the number of rocket launches, satellites in orbit and
private space companies has increased dramatically in the past 20 years.
Additionally, there is a growing interest for space exploration beyond
Earth’s orbit, to the Moon and beyond, which comes with higher risk of
being affected by space weather. Here, we discuss some of these trends
and the role of the journal to improve awareness of space weather
impacts.

Climatic and anthropogenic impacts on forest fires in conditions of extreme fire danger on sandy soils
Authors: Milenkovic Milan , Ducic Vladan , Obradovic Dragan , Dedic Aleksandar , Buric Dragan
Published: September 2023

Forests on sandy soils are particularly vulnerable to fire. The study area in
this research was Deliblatska pescara (the Deliblato Sands), one of the most
endangered areas in Serbia. The linear trends, the polynomial trends and the
Pearson correlation coefficient (r) were applied. Statistically significant
decrease in the number of forest fires was found, while the increasing
trends of the burned area and burned forest area were not significant. There
was also an increase in the air temperature during the same period. In a
study of the connection between forest fires and the Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO), significant values of r were statistically observed only
for the annual number of fires. The highest values were recorded for June
(-0.373) and July (-0.375), and for summer r = -0.374 (statistically
significant at p ? .01). As for the AMO in the main fire season
(February-August), r = -0.331 (statistically significant at p ? .01). In
settlements in Deliblatska pescara area, there were trends of the decreasing
number of inhabitants, agricultural population, and agricultural households
in the investigated period. These trends contribute to the reduction of fire
risk. The r value between the dynamics of the number of fires and the
population is .50 (statistically significant at p ? .01). The reduced
agricultural activity contributes to the reduction of fire risk, while
increased tourist presence is a risk factor.

Published: September 2023

İletişim teknolojilerinin gelişmesi paralelinde optik altyapı ihtiyaçları giderek artmaktadır. Artan veri yolu ihtiyacını karşılamak için dalga boyu bölmeli çoğullama (WDM) sistemleri geliştirilmiş ve kullanımı yaygınlaşmıştır. WDM sistemleri kullanımında optik sinyallerin uzak mesafelere iletiminde optik yükselteç sistemleri önemli rol üstlenmektedir. Bu sebeple çok pompalı dağıtık fiber Raman yükselteçler iyi bir alternatif olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dağıtık Raman yükselteç sistemleri tasarlarken optik sinyallerin uzak mesafelere iletiminde sinyallerin kazancının düzleştirmek için, optik fibere dahil edilecek belirli sayıda optik sinyalle beraber pompanın güçleri optimize edilmelidir. Bu bağlamda, yapılan araştırmada başlangıç güç değeri 1mW olan 80 adet optik sinyalin 80 km ilerlemesi sonucu kazancını düzleştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için öncelikle Raman kazanç katsayısı ve optik zayıflama katsayısı sisteme polinom olarak işlenerek hazır hale getirilmiştir. Bununla beraber sabit terimler denkleme işlenmiş, sonrasında tüm denklemler PSO algoritmasına başarılı şekilde uyarlanmıştır. Sonrasında PSO algoritması 4,5 ve 6 pompa için işletilerek optimum değerler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen net kazanç farkları incelendiğinde: 4 pompa için ± 3dB, 5 pompa için ± 2dB ve 6 pompa için ± 1dB değerleri elde edilmiştir. Optimizasyon algoritmalarının çözüm gücünün artması paralelinde daha iyi sonuçların elde edilmesi beklenmektedir.
TECHNICAL TRANSLATION IN THE SYSTEM OF TRANSLATION THEORY
Authors: Derdi Emma
Published: September 2023

The problems and requirements for technical translation are characterized. The problems of technical translation as a type of special literature translation are quite broad and include difficulties and problems both with the text itself (lexical, grammatical, stylistic) and with the conditions and results of the translator's work. The prospects for the technical translation development are highlighted. The number of technical translations worldwide is expected to continue to grow as it has been growing since the beginning of the industrial revolution. With the increase in the volume of technical literature translations the demand for technical translators will also increase which makes it possible to predict the main prospects for the technical translation development, in particular, the prospects for the specialists training in this sphere. Taking into account the fact that technical translation is currently not sufficiently researched we can also highlight separate perspectives regarding the development of the science of translation in this aspect.
POINT OF VIEW REALISATION IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN ADVENTURE STORIES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Authors: Holub Viktoriia
Published: September 2023

The present study attempts to analyze the specifics of the point of view evocation in the adventure stories «Adventures of the Thrice Famous Robber Pyntia» by O. Gavrosh and «Wild Summer in the Crimea» by Z. Menzatiuk. The purpose of the article is to clarify interdependence between types of point of view and forms of speech and thought presentation. It was found that the psychological point of view presented in the analyzed stories, according to P. Simpson’s classification, belong to type B, however to different modes. The narrative perspective of O. Gavrosh’s story belongs to type B narrarial mode, and Z. Menzatyuk’s story point of view is classified as type B mode of reflector. It was observed that the categories of the type of point of view and the form of thoughts and speech presentation are interdependent, since the corresponding form of speech and thought representation prevails in the implementation of a particular point of view. The results of the research determined that the narratorial mode is characterized by the use of forms of direct thought to convey thoughts, because it has an effect in distancing the reader from the character, giving the narrator space for ironic comments. As for the mode of reflector, the free indirect form is more often used, because it can help to shorten the distance between the reader and the character’s feelings and thoughts.
THE SYSTEM OF MORAL-ETHIC VALUES IN UKRAINIAN NON-RITUAL LYRIC-EPIC FOLKLORE: THE RESPONSIBILITY CATEGORY
Authors: Kopanytsia Liubov , Pavlova Alla
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of responsibility in non-ritual lyric-epic folklore. The poetic macrosphere of lyric-epic folklore reflects the multifaceted spiritual universe of the Ukrainian ethnic group, mental peculiarities, features of the national character, historical aspects of social development, and various transformational processes. Forms of rational and irrational understanding of the world were revealed in the folklore text, which influenced the formation of a special sociocultural paradigm. In traditional non-ritual poetry, the world itself, in all its inexhaustibility of interpretations, appears as the center of an axiological system, an unchanging value in man's understanding of all that exists. The broad information content present in the texts of traditional culture contributes to the realization of communicative efficiency, which helps to socialize and differentiate between essential and non-essential. The poetic system of the lyric-epic song represents the features of the structuring of a complex anthropological model. In the collective memory, exceptional events were imprinted, which reveal the actualization in the folk consciousness of precisely the moments of the destructive nature of an individual's irresponsibility for the consequences of his own actions. The article highlights the concept of "attachment of responsibility": everyone must be responsible for their actions. Through the multifaceted artistic macrosphere of the song, a number of important interpretations of the essence of moral responsibility in the axiological sense are revealed. An irresponsible act causes a corresponding reaction on the part of individual individuals, merging into a general moral and ethical assessment by the entire community. Thus, through the folklore image of the traditional lyric-epic song, the folklore idea of the uniqueness and uniqueness of human life, which is included in the living memory of other people, their experience and the spiritual world, is transmitted.

TITLES OF CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN WORKS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH: STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC DIMENSION
Authors: Shytyk Liudmyla , Yuldasheva Liudmyla
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the structural and semantic features of the titles of works of modern Ukrainian literature for children and youth. It was found that the analyzed titles are usually multi-meaningful, they are characterized by a high level of generalization. In the projection on figurative and semiotic characteristics, three types of titles are distinguished: titles-indicators, titles-images, titles-symbols. In modern literature for children and young, titles-images and titles-symbols prevail, because it is their use that realizes the ambiguity of the title, and therefore of the work in general. Typical structural models of the titles of works for children and youth were revealed: titles-word forms, titles-phrases and titles-sentences. The selected actual material proves that the largest group is the titles-subordinate phrases. Within this group, we trace the quantitative unevenness of various types of phrases. The most frequent in terms of usage are titles expressed by a substantive phrase. Instead, verb and adverbial phrases occur occasionally. Single-component titles, expressed by nouns in the nominative case, and titles-simple sentences are also common. Titles-complex sentences are less productive. The titles expressed by the nominative case of representation and models of doublet headings are described and analyzed. We see the prospect for further scientific research in the study of the pragmatic potential of titles of works of modern Ukrainian literature for children and youth.
DOMINANTES LINGUISTIQUES ET CULTURELLES EN TANT QU'ÉLÉMENTS DU CONCEPT «FEMME RÉUSSIE»
Authors: Ternova Zhanna
Published: September 2023

L’actualité de l'article proposé est déterminée par le fait que l'un des aspects importants de l'étude de la littérature nationale à travers le prisme de la théorie du genre est la représentation artistique de la femme en tant que sujet de création culturelle et porteuse d'un ensemble complexe d'idées culturelles. La nouveauté scientifique de la recherche présentée réside dans le fait qu'elle tente d'envisager les signes de réussite du genre à travers le prisme des concepts culturels retrouvés dans les oeuvres d'art de la fin du XXe et du début du XXIe siècle. Par conséquent, le but de l'article est de présenter le concept culturel de «femme qui réussit», qui est réalisé à l'aide de certaines dominantes culturelles, telles que «l'argent», la «beauté» et le «glamour». La méthodologie de la recherche de ce concept consiste dans le fait que le concept de «femme qui réussit» est considéré comme une formation mentale et verbale multidimensionnelle, qui contient au moins trois composantes: conceptuelle, figurative et corporelle-symbolique, dont chacune est étudiée à l'aide de l'analyse linguistique et culturelle et de l'interprétation conceptuelle. L'examen des principales dominantes culturelles de la conscience ethnique ukrainienne a démontré que le champ associatif du concept de «succès/réussite» contient les éléments suivants: carrière, popularité, beauté, argent, amour, glamour. Le succès des femmes basé sur le matériel de la prose en langue ukrainienne de la fin du XXe – début du XXIe siècle s'accompagne et se précise toujours dans l'espace conceptuel de ces concepts dont chacun est conditionné par une conscience mythologique, archétypale, mondaine et sociale. Au sein de ces concepts, on observe l'identification de composantes sémantiques communes et l'axiologie de nature subjective et collective.
THE INFLUENCE OF EUROPEAN ART ON CHINESE OPERA CULTURE
Authors: Zonghui Zhang
Published: September 2023

The article examines the influence of European culture on the origin and development of Beijing opera, focusing on the penetration and assimilation of European opera's characteristic features into Chinese musical culture. It systematically analyzes these innovations within the historical context, elucidating their role and position in the broader Chinese cultural and historical processes. The study reveals that the primary avenue for introducing European musical canons was through school songs, which, due to their simple composition and ease of performance, served as the basis for incorporating structured European approaches into Chinese music. It notes that the creation of the first officially recognized Chinese opera, “Grey-hair Girl”, followed the emergence of Children's Operas, which exhibited elements of Europeanization while retaining their melodic structure. The conclusions highlight that the development of the European experience within the opera genre unfolded in tandem with the evolution of compositional and dramatic patterns derived from Western opera. However, on a musical and stylistic level, Chinese composers remained rooted in the national tradition, endeavoring to achieve varying degrees of successful fusion between Western form and national content. It was only towards the latter part of the 20th century that a harmonious symbiosis began to emerge, integrating the organizational aspects of opera from the European experience with Chinese identity at different levels.
ENERGY EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS OF SMART CITIES
Authors: Apatenko Tetianа , Bezlyubchenko Olena
Published: September 2023

The idea of creating "green" or "sustainable" cities is aimed at improving and optimizing urban "metabolism" and involves the use of energy-efficient design solutions, "green" materials, and new approaches to urban urbanism. Some scientific sources give different interpretations of the definition of "smart city", which gives an idea of a more accurate understanding of such innovative settlements. As a rule, the differences in definitions are tied to the diversity of countries. Examples of smart cities are given, which are both successful and unsuccessful examples. In this article, an analysis was carried out using the method of questioning the citizens of Ukraine about the main priorities for defining the concept of a "smart" city. The most popular among the proposed answers were "smart" waste disposal and energy efficiency. This topic is relevant especially in the context of solving the issues of designing the urban environment, organizing the construction of buildings using environmentally friendly, renewable energy sources using digital technologies of smart cities.
Clinical relevance of blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio for predicting bacteremia in very young children with febrile urinary tract infection
Authors: Hyun Hyesun , Lee Yeon hee , Kang Na Yoon , Suh Jin-Soon
Published: September 2023

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in febrile children and a common cause of hospitalization, especially in very young children. We examined the clinical characteristics and predictive factors of concomitant bacteremia in pediatric patients with febrile UTI aged ≤24 months. Methods: This retrospective multicenter study reviewed medical data from 2,141 patients from three centers from January 2000 to December 2019. Enrolled cases were classified into the bacteremic UTI and non-bacteremic UTI groups according to the presence of blood culture pathogens. Results: Among 2,141 patients with febrile UTI, 40 (1.9%) had concomitant bacteremia. All patients in the bacterial group were aged ≤6 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that younger age, lower blood lymphocyte counts and serum albumin levels, higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, and BUN/serum albumin ratio were independent risk factors of concomitant bacteremia. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curves predicting bacteremia were 0.668 for CRP, 0.673 for lymphocytes, and 0.759 for the BUN/albumin ratio. Conclusion: The present study identified the BUN/albumin ratio and lower blood lymphocyte counts as novel predictive factors for bacteremia in young infants with febrile UTI in addition to the previously identified factors of younger age and higher CRP levels. Our findings could help to identify patients at high risk of bacteremia and benefit decision-making in the management of infants with febrile UTI.

Published: September 2023

Parents’ adherence to cleft lip and palate treatment plans is essential to ensure a satisfactory outcome. With the ongoing development of communications technology, social media has become an integral component in medical practice. It is now a platform of communication and information that facilitates medical professionals and parents to provide better care for cleft lip and palate patients. The aim of the study is to investigate the use of social media among parents of CLP patients and their preferable social media of choice for patient education. This is a descriptive study conducted through an online and offline survey amongst 108 parents of CLP patients from January to June of 2019. WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are social media platforms that the respondents heavily use. WhatsApp (76,1%) is the most common tool to seek cleft lip and palate information, followed by websites and Facebook. Information that respondents often inquire include feeding technique, post-surgical wound treatment, and funding for the treatments. Overall, respondents believed that information acquired from social media is reliable. Aversion towards social media in obtaining information was revolving around inaccuracy (69,1%) and reliability (39%). Social media has become a fundamental aspect in the treatment of cleft lip and palate. Physicians should consider social media and be actively involved in ensuring the dissemination of accurate and reliable information to patients. WhatsApp is a suitable tool to serve as a platform to provide patient education. A chatbot powered by artificial intelligence can be further developed and investigated for future use.
Occupational Morbidity of Women Associated with Working Conditions in Agriculture
Authors: Kostareva V. Yu.
Published: September 2023

Introduction. About a third of employees of medium and large agricultural enterprises work in hazardous and harmful conditions. It is worth clarifying that the situation in this area is constantly changing, information may become outdated. The presented scientific work is designed to solve this problem. New information should be considered and systematized to study current data. The work objective is to analyze recently published official statistics on the impact of working conditions on the health of agricultural sector workers and, in particular, women. In addition, the problems of the formation and development of occupational diseases of women employed in agriculture are considered.

Materials and Methods. The data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, as well as the works of foreign and Russian scientists who studied the peculiarities of work in agriculture were used as research materials. Official statistics data were summarized in the form of tables, visualized as diagrams. The illustrative material allowed us, in particular, to compare the indicators, to identify the most significant risks associated with the work of women in the agro-industrial complex.

Results. About 35% (that is, more than a third) of the personnel of medium and large enterprises of the agro-industrial complex are women. Many of them work in harmful and dangerous conditions. From 2015 to 2021, the corresponding minimum recorded figure was 26.4% of all women employed in agriculture, the maximum was 37%. Generalized statistical data suggested that from 2015 to 2021 the situation was not significantly improving, a downward trend was not formed. If to speak about hard work, the proportion of women performing such functions increased from 13.8 % to 17.7%, that is, by 2021 the situation noticeably worsened. We noted the progress with strenuous labor processes in agriculture. The proportion of women engaged in such jobs almost halved: from 3.5% to 1.8%. Physical overload, which functionally overstrain the organs and systems of the body, should be recognized as a particularly harmful factor for agricultural sector workers. The most problematic industry from the point of view of women's health was animal husbandry.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the work allow us to conclude about the unsatisfactory working conditions of women in agriculture. The situation can be improved by state control, mutual interest of employers and employees in the organization of workplaces and the compliance with labor protection requirements. A systematic approach should reduce the number of occupational diseases among women, improve the health indicators of agricultural workers.
Assessment of the Influence of Internal Factors on the Indicators of Passenger Elevator Units Utilization Based on the Results of Regular Monitoring
Authors: Khazanovich G. Sh. , Apryshkin D. S.
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Ensuring high reliability and safety of operation of passenger elevator units is largely determined by the implemented maintenance conditions (MC). The frequency of performing preventive actions depends, first of all, on the level of elevator utilization. Time, power indicators and the degree of remaining life are used to evaluate it. Among the time indicators, the net machine time coefficient (NMT) and the turn-on frequency are accepted, which are random variables depending on a number of internal factors characterizing the operating conditions of the unit. The work objective is to establish the relationship between the average values of NMT, as one of the main indicators of the load of the elevator unit, and the main internal factors.

Materials and Methods. The research was carried out on the basis of processing and generalization of statistical materials of dispatching control of time indicators of a number of passenger elevator units. 11 elevators were randomly selected, differing in the number of floors, the specific number of residents using the elevator, and the speed of movement of the cab. Graphical-analytic methods were used to construct empirical dependences of NMT on the number of residents, the speed of the cab and the number of floors of the building. Along with the technical parameters of the elevator, random changes in the NMT indicators for individual periods of the day were taken into account.

Results. Empirical dependences of the NMT on the main internal factors — the density of occupation, the number of floors of the building and the speed of the cab movement were established. Mathematical models provided results adequate to experimental values. The error when comparing the calculated data with the actual data did not exceed 10 % in most cases.

Discussion and Conclusion. The value of the empirical dependencies obtained consists in the ability to assess the workload of units during the current period of operation without additional multi-day measurements. Empirical formulas can be used as basic relations in simulation modeling at any stage of the life cycle.

The Depiction of Human Nature through Allegory: An Analysis of Golding's Lord of the Flies
Authors: Ghimire Surendra Prasad
Published: September 2023

This article critically analyzes Golding's Lord of the Flies to investigate how human nature was allegorically depicted by constructing an almost parallel fictional world to his contemporary time. In this paper, I argued that Golding allegorically exhibited the basic human nature of his contemporary time by experimenting with the schoolboys on the Pacific Ocean, which unveiled the brutal and uncivilized nature of schoolboys, and that such activities as depicted in the novel resembled the brutal and savage nature of the men of his time. The methodology I employed in this study was a close analysis of the primary text to examine how Golding used allegory to uncover the basic nature of human beings, and I analyzed secondary resources related to the study to support my arguments. The analysis identified that Golding depicted savagery and animalistic human nature through allegory, which questioned the traditional understanding of human nature as civilized and moral, and his experience of involving himself in the war and working as a school teacher helped him in reflecting such brutal and uncivilized events of his time. He provided a wider space and various layers of secondary meanings for characters, setting, and events in the story, which resonated in many respects with the events of his contemporary time. In addition, this study unpacked the fact that savagery existed inside the human heart and manifested in a lack of guardianship and civilizational forces in human beings. This paper will be useful in exploring the novel for a better understanding of human nature.

The Constitution of Ukraine provides 11 separate grounds for banning political parties, the list of which is exhaustive.The Law of Ukraine “On Political Parties in Ukraine” provides additional grounds for banning political parties that are not established by the Constitution. In 2022, the list of reasons for the termination of the activities of political parties was expanded, the specified changes were introduced by the Law of Ukraine “On the prohibition of propaganda of the Russian Nazi totalitarian regime, armed aggression of the Russian Federation as a terrorist state against Ukraine, symbols of the military invasion of the Russian Nazi totalitarian regime in Ukraine” No. 2265-IX dated 05/22/2022 [3] and the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Prohibition of Political Parties” No. 2243-IX dated 05/03/2022 The practice of banning political parties is not widespread in European countries and has its own characteristics.On the basis of the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine, including taking into account the changes introduced during the martial law, the legislation of certain foreign countries, taking into account the relevant European standards regarding the prohibition of political parties, the shortcomings of the current legislation were determined and relevant conclusions were drawn regarding possible ways of its improvement, in particular , the following issues should find normative regulation: each individual case of banning the activity of a political party must correspond not only to official legal grounds, but must also encompass historical prerequisites, political traditions, and constitutional doctrine; improvement of the mechanism of state control over the activities of political parties, which will include the rules of representativeness of political parties and criteria for the legality of identification of a member of a political party with the corresponding political party in connection with the illegal actions of some of its members; the possibility of extrajudicial forced suspension of the activities of political parties during the war; consolidating the institution of suspending the activities of parties in martial law conditions, placing on the competent body of state power the obligation to raise the issue of the banning of a political party before the court in the future. At the same time, consideration of the military and political situation and compliance with the guarantees of a fair trial should be noted as a necessary condition for consideration of the specified cases; expansion of the list of entities that will have the right to initiate the procedure of banning the activity of a political party.
The constitutional and legal value of the state’s obligations to ensure freedom of entrepreneurial activity
Authors: Gurzhіi T.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the constitutional and legal significance and value of the state’s obligations to ensure freedom of entrepreneurial activity, and determines their vector orientation in the state’s economy.It was determined that the Constitution of Ukraine in Section I regulated the most important duties of the state, however, the specificity of their meaningful reading is often revealed through the prism of ensuring the corresponding rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, because the person it is who is the highest social value. The constitutional recognition of a person as the highest social value means that the state cannot put on any other social institutions and phenomena above a person. It was established that the constitutional duty of the state corresponds to the right of citizens to demand from the state protection and guarantees of constitutional values and benefits, one of which is freedom of entrepreneurship.

It was concluded that the normalization of the duties of the state in the text of the Constitution of Ukraine, the chapters of which form the basis of the constitutional system of our state (chapters I, III, XIII) acts as a guarantee of the impossibility of their cancellation by the state itself, instead, it forces it to organize its activities so that practical support these duties had the most favorable influence in the context of creating the proper conditions for the realization of human rights and freedoms.The social value of the state’s constitutional duties in the sphere of economic relations is also seen in the fact that their constitutional consolidation is designed to force the state to «work» in the national economic interests, to create proper working conditions and jobs, to promote free and fair competition in the economic sphere, material providing for members of society, systematically ensuring their full and unimpeded realization of their entrepreneurial skills, developing a competitive economy. It was determined that in order to ensure the freedom of entrepreneurial activity, the state should exert influence on economic relations, but such influence should be moderate, because economic relations are closely related to the «laws» of economic nature, which are not subject to the imperative will of the state.
