Tasar silkworm pupal oil: An excellent source of edible oil for industrial and therapeutic applications
Authors: Srivastava Devika , Singh Vandana , Ramappa Venkatesh K.
Published: November 2023

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are widely recognized due to their remedial properties. In our previous studies, we reported that Tasar silkworm pupal oil (TSPO) is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Further we also extracted ALA from TSPO and reported its significant anticancer activity. In the present study, extraction of TSPO and physico-chemical characterizations including saponification, acid, peroxide, iodine pH values, and colour determination were carried out to investigate the edible properties of TSPO for commercialization as a therapeutically active functional food. Further, the anti-diabetic activity of TSPO were analyzed by α-amylase inhibition assay. The saponification (154.75 ± 0.581mg KOH/g), acid (6.24 ± 0.421 mg KOH/g), peroxide (16.20 ± 0.265 meq/kg), iodine (40.33 ± 0.577g/100 ml), pH (6.17), and colour (14 Y+1.2 R) values were within the permissible range for commercialization. In addition to this, the results of the α-amylase inhibition assay showed that TSPO exhibited an IC50 value of 207339 µg/ml.  The results may facilitate the use of TSPO oil in therapeutic and functional food applications

A Stochastic Framework for Energy Saving in Cognitive Radio Networks using N-Policy Multiple Sleep Mode
Authors: Srivastava Nisha , Sharma Dinesh C.
Published: November 2023

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) represent a cutting-edge solution to the
growing problem of limited available spectrum. With the increasing
demand for wireless communication services, the efficient utilization of
spectrum resources becomes paramount. Green CRNs offer a dynamic and
opportunistic approach by intelligently sensing and accessing idle
licensed spectrum, known as white spaces focusing on environmentally
conscious communication methods. These unoccupied frequency bands, left
unused by primary users (PUs), present an opportunity for CRNs to
enhance spectrum utilization and alleviate the spectrum scarcity
challenge. In the presented study, we concentrate on energy conservation
in “Green” CRNs, with a specific focus on base stations (BSs). We
suggest an energy-efficient approach that utilizes multiple sleep modes
employing an N-policy, with the objective of addressing the growing need
for environmentally friendly communication practices. To model the
energy-saving process and assess system performance, we employ a
semi-Markov process (SMP). Moreover, the paper provides a detailed
analysis of performance metrics, encompassing average latency for
Secondary Users (SUs), throughput of the system, energy saving factor,
and energy consumption.
Use of Allopurinol to Manage Skewed 6-Mercaptopurine Metabolism in Pediatric Maintenance Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment
Authors: Lines Mandee , Kemper Ryan M. , Wallace Jordan , Alexander Thomas , Echols Carmen , Garner Lauren M. , Kaplan Jenna , Thompson Patrick , Crona Daniel J. , Phillips Kynlon
Published: November 2023

Background: 6-Mercaptopurine is a cornerstone of maintenance
therapy for pediatric ALL. Response to 6MP is typically determined by
the ANC. Therapeutic ANC range while receiving 6MP is between
500-1,500/µL. In addition to desired myelosuppression, 6MP is associated
with multiple adverse drug effects. Increased doses of 6MP can lead to
therapeutic ANC values; however, patients may experience adverse effects
before obtaining therapeutic myelosuppression, often deemed “skewed
metabolism.” Allopurinol may potentially correct skewed 6MP metabolism.
Procedure: Pediatric patients with ALL with 6MMP and 6TGN
metabolites drawn during maintenance therapy were analyzed for
allopurinol use. The primary outcome evaluated the percentage of time
spent in therapeutic ANC range before and after allopurinol initiation.
Additionally, the difference in 6MMP:6TGN ratios before and after
allopurinol initiation, incidence of hepatotoxicity, and rates of
relapse, were analyzed. Results: Ninety-five patients were
included for analysis. Thirty-two (34%) patients received allopurinol.
There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between
the patients who received allopurinol and those who did not. When
comparing ANC values pre- and post- allopurinol initiation, a
statistically significant increase in the percentage of time spent in
therapeutic range was observed (27% vs. 43%; P=0.03).
Additionally, when comparing metabolite ratios pre- and post-allopurinol
initiation, a statistically significant decrease in 6MMP:6TGN metabolite
ratio values was observed (86.7 vs 3.6; P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Allopurinol significantly increased the percent time
in therapeutic ANC range and can be safely utilized to significantly
lower the ratio of 6MMP:6TGN metabolites, alleviating the undesirable
side effects of 6MMP, and optimizing the anti-leukemic effects
associated with 6TGN.

Published: November 2023

Endothelial cells (EC) play essential roles in retinal vascular homeostasis. This study aimed to characterize retinal EC heterogeneity and functional diversity using single-cell RNA sequencing. Systematic analysis of cellular compositions and cell-cell interaction networks identified a unique EC cluster with high inflammatory gene expression in diabetic retina; sphingolipid metabolism is a prominent aspect correlated with changes in retinal function. Among sphingolipid-related genes, alkaline ceramidase 2 (ACER2) showed the most significant increase. Plasma samples of patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) with diabetic macular edema (DME) or without DME (NDME) and active proliferative DR (PDR) were collected for mass spectrometry analysis. Metabolomic profiling revealed that the ceramide levels were significantly elevated in NPDR-NDME/DME and further increased in active PDR compared with control patients. In vitro analyses showed that ACER2 overexpression retarded endothelial barrier breakdown induced by ceramide, while silencing of ACER2 further disrupted the injury. Moreover, intravitreal injection of the recombinant ACER2 adeno-associated virus rescued diabetes-induced vessel leakiness, inflammatory response, and neurovascular disease in diabetic mouse models. Together, this study revealed a new diabetes-specific retinal EC population and a negative feedback regulation pathway that reduces ceramide content and endothelial dysfunction by upregulating ACER2 expression. These findings provide insights into cell-type targeted interventions for diabetic retinopathy.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To identify predictors of persistent cognitive impairment at 12 months after hospitalization due to COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Design: Retrospective, single-centre study.
Subjects: All consecutive patients assessed in physical and rehabilitation medicine consultations at 3 months with a neuropsychiatric testing (NPT) at 6 months.
Methods: A Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was performed at 3 months and NPT at 6 and 12 months, exploring global cognitive efficiency, attention and processing speed, short-term memory and executive function. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to identify predictors of persistent cognitive impairment.
Results: Among 56 patients, 64.3% and 53.6% had 1 or more impaired cognitive functions at 6 and 12 months, respectively, attention and processing speed being the most represented (41.1% at 12 month). Duration of oxygen therapy (odds ratio 0.926 [0.871–0.985], p = 0.015) and MMSE score at 3 months (odds ratio 0.464 [0.276–0.783], p = 0.004) were associated with cognitive impairment at 12 months by multivariable analysis (R² 0.372–0.497).
Conclusions: Half of patients have cognitive impairment 12 months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring hospitalization. The duration of oxygen therapy in acute care could be a protective parameter. Systematic evaluation with the MMSE at 3 months after infection might be an effective tool to detect risk.
Melt pool dynamics on different substrate materials in high-speed laser directed energy deposition process
Authors: Wu Zefeng , O’Toole Patrick , Hagenlocher Christian , Qian Ma , Brandt Milan , Watts Jarrod
Published: November 2023

High-speed laser directed energy deposition (HSL-DED) is a variant of the laser directed energy deposition process where a defocused metal powder stream is used, and it typically involves processing speeds exceeding 5 m/min. However, the interactions between the laser beam, powder stream, and substrate surface in HSL-DED have not been extensively studied. This study used a specialized XIRIS XVC-1000 welding camera with a narrow bandpass filter to record the interaction phenomenon. These observations were first carried out without powder delivery, using laser surface melting techniques, and involved processing speeds of up to 20 m/min and laser powers of up to 3 kW. HSL-DED with powder delivery was then conducted with the same parameter combinations for comparative analysis. The in situ observations in laser surface melting and HSL-DED identified a physical separation between the laser spot and the melt pool boundary, referred to as melt pool lag. Different substrates’ chemical compositions and the resulting thermophysical properties significantly impact melt pool dynamics during the high-speed laser-material interactions for a given process condition. The findings from this work have enabled a better understanding and control of melt pool dynamics in HSL-DED.
Automated quality evaluation for laser cutting in lithium metal battery production using an instance segmentation convolutional neural network
Authors: Kriegler Johannes , Liu Tianran , Hartl Roman , Hille Lucas , Zaeh Michael F.
Published: November 2023

Separating lithium metal foil into individual anodes is a critical process step in all-solid-state battery production. With the use of nanosecond-pulsed laser cutting, a characteristic quality-decisive cut edge geometry is formed depending on the chosen parameter set. This cut edge can be characterized by micrometer-scale imaging techniques such as confocal laser scanning microscopy. Currently, experimental determination of suitable process parameters is time-consuming and biased by the human measurement approach, while no methods for automated quality assurance are known. This study presents a deep-learning computer vision approach for geometry characterization of lithium foil laser cut edges. The convolutional neural network architecture Mask R-CNN was implemented and applied for categorizing confocal laser scanning microscopy images showing defective and successful cuts, achieving a classification precision of more than 95%. The algorithm was trained for automatic pixel-wise segmentation of the quality-relevant melt superelevation along the cut edge, reaching segmentation accuracies of up to 88%. Influence of the training data set size on the classification and segmentation accuracies was assessed confirming the algorithm’s industrial application potential due to the low number of 246 or fewer original images required. The segmentation masks were combined with topography data of cut edges to obtain quantitative metrics for the quality evaluation of lithium metal electrodes. The presented computer vision pipeline enables the integration of an automated image evaluation for quality inspection of lithium foil laser cutting, promoting industrial production of all-solid-state batteries with lithium metal anode.

Ocean. History of water and the Earth’s crust
Authors: Gordienko V.V.
Published: November 2023

Views on the origin and evolution of water (the amount and mode of incorporation into crustal and mantle rocks) on Earth are quite diverse. To substantiate them, arguments from various sections of geography, geology, geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and cosmogony are used. A comprehensive analysis allows us to fairly confidently assume that the appearance of water is associated with the final stage of the formation of the planet, which began after the accumulation of 60—90 % of its volume. This period coincided with the entry of water-bearing carbonatites,among other chondrites,into the accretion zone. Having estimated their contribution to the formation of water from different sources, we can compare it with the geological and geophysical data on the Earth’s early history. For this purpose, the author’s idea of the global asthenosphereas a relic of an ancient magmatic ocean, was used. The framework made it possible to estimate the volume of matter from which the emergence of a magma ocean made it possible to extract water. The synthesis of these independent results allows us to state quite confidently that water to fill the ocean was available (in one form or another) throughout the entire studied geological history of the planet.

The problem of the ocean itself (a deep-water reservoir with a crust different from the crust of the continents — less powerful and more basic) is considered mainly using the well-known results of B.A. Bluman and E.M. Rudich on the oceans and M.I. Budyko and co-authors on the continents. Their conclusions agree with the schemes of deep processes in the ocean tectonosphere considered by the author. These processes are controlled by a series of geological phenomena and anomalies in geophysical fields.The processes are reduced to heat and mass transfer in the eugeosyncline superimposed on the anomalously basic continental crust and subsequent activation.Thus, a fairly definite picture of the formation of the modern ocean due to the previous development of the Earth’s tectonosphere in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic is emerging.
Preliminary results of UAV magnetic surveys for unexploded ordnance de-tection in Ukraine: effectiveness and challenges
Authors: Poliachenko I. , Kozak V. , Bakhmutov V. , Cherkes S. , Varava I.
Published: November 2023

Over the past decade, the development of unmanned aerial technologies has allowed them to be considered a tool for conducting remote Earth sensing research. The use of such systems is primarily associated with solving geological and archaeological tasks. However, the armed aggression by the Russian Federation contaminated Ukrainian territory at an unprecedented scale, including unexploded ordnance (UXO). It is necessary to check unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to address this issue. An efficient solution can significantly expedite the process of surveying areas for the presence of UXO, minimizing risks to lives and health.

The research was conducted at test sites using full-scale models as targets, as well as disarmed mines and other ordnance. Additionally, a magnetic survey was carried out in areas directly affected by combat operations. Overall, within the scope of this work, approximately 30 hectares of territory were surveyed under various shooting modes and conditions. As expected, a high detection rate is characteristic of target objects with a high ferrous metal content. Unfortunately, the widespread use of plastic ordnance with low iron content and the high density of craters blasts create non-target magnetic anomalies, affecting the overall detection. However, with proper planning and shooting modes, the task of detection is partially addressed. Our preliminary results allow us to draw initial conclusions about the effectiveness of the complex and identify issues that require resolution.
Control over the circulation of dual-use goods and technologies within the international regimes of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
Authors: Benedyk Ya.
Published: November 2023

International legal cooperation in the field of control over the export, transfer, transit of dual-use goods and technologies is based on a number of mechanisms of general competence (for example, the UN, WTO) and specific regimes, the core of which constitute international treaties on the non­proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Chemical Weapons Convention, Biological Weapons Convention) and related multilateral export control groups (Zanger Committee, Nuclear Suppliers Group, Australian Group).

While the mentioned international treaties define the goals and basic principles of cooperation of their parties to prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, the critical task of intergovernmental export groups, capable of responding more promptly to security challenges in the light of technological progress and market dynamics, is to ensure the development and regular updating of lists of controlled goods, dissemination and exchange of best practices in this area, articulation of instructions for participating states regarding the strengthening of national export control systems.

Such a structure, promoting transparency and responsible behaviour of states, objectively increases the level of international security, ensures more profound and comprehensive cooperation and interaction of participating states, regular exchange of information on sensitive dual-use goods and technologies, which leads to a consensus on the specifics of the implementation of export control systems and harmonisation of national policies and regulatory mechanisms. At the same time, taking into account the "softness” of obligations arising from the activities of specialised export groups, the effectiveness of the control mechanism depends on the goodwill of the participating states and their commitment to the values and goals of these regimes and is also complicated by the limited participation of individual actors (for instance, India, Pakistan, North Korea, etc.).
The subject of municipal law as a branch of law: debatable issues of theory
Authors: Batanov O.V.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the problems of defining the subject of municipal law as a branch of Ukrainian law. The phenomenology of municipal law is studied in the context of its genesis, development and understanding of the subject of municipal legal regulation. It is proved that the subject of municipal law as a branch of national law should be considered social relations that arise in the process of recognition, formation, organization and exercise of municipal power, as well as the realization and protection of municipal human rights. The article provides a doctrinal analysis of approaches to interpreting the content of relevant social relations. The issue of the principles and forms of implementation of municipal law was raised.

It is stated that the urgent task of the modern municipal legal doctrine is the search for the main characteristics of the subject of municipal legal regulation, that is, the generalized criterion that allows to attribute the social relationship to the number of proper municipal legal relations. Municipalism and community organization at the municipal level - the municipal system - should act as such a characteristic.

For the first time, it was proposed to introduce the category «municipal system» into scientific circulation. According to the author, the municipal system is a system of social relations and principles related to the exercise by territorial communities of their functions and powers as the primary subject of local self-government, as well as the implementation of historical, socio­economic, spiritual-cultural, ethno-national and other features and traditions of their municipal life, which are recognized and protected by the Constitution and other acts of positive law. It is a kind of system-conglomerate structure, a synergistic combination of the principles of local self-government and heterogeneous elements and processes of municipal life (human rights, freedom, democracy, power, territory, property, etc.). It is claimed that the municipal system is one of the basic criteria for the formation of the subject of modern municipal law.
Legal restrictions on the turnover of agricultural land
Authors: Korniyenko G. , Shulga M.
Published: November 2023

It is indicated that the proper functioning of the agricultural land market, introduced from 01.07.2021, is possible if there is a clear, detailed and complete mechanism of legal regulation of the relevant social relations. This mechanism should be clear to both the owners of agricultural land plots and the purchasers. However, certain legislative provisions are ambiguously perceived and understood in society, and in the absence of accumulated practice of applying legislation on the land market, a number of questions remain open. This applies, in particular, to the limitations established by the legislator regarding the circle of participants in the market circulation of agricultural land, the legal form of the alienation of land plots, the area of land plots acquired by subjects of preferential right and other market participants, etc.

The article provides a systematic analysis of the legislative provisions relating to legal restrictions in the sphere of agricultural land turnover, and identifies legal issues related to limitation of the circle of potential acquirers of land plots (individuals and legal entities), restrictions on the total area of land plots which may be acquired by individuals and legal entities, and restrictions on the legal form of alienation of agricultural land plots in the context of the land market. The author also analyzes the situation related to the exercise by lessees of the preemptive right to purchase leased land plots by legal entities established by foreigners. The authors substantiate the ways of solving these problems. They argue that the legislatively enshrined restrictions on the right of ownership of agricultural land are due to the need to ensure the public interest, since land, being the main national wealth, is under special protection of the state. At the same time, the authors believe that the legislator should not only create conditions for preventing and preventing legislation regulating relations on the agricultural land market, but also ensure transparent and fair competition of all participants in the agricultural land market.
Problematic aspects of procedures related to monitoring and registration of tax invoices
Authors: Krylov D.
Published: November 2023

One of the effective means of countering the illegal reduction of tax liabilities is the electronic administration of VAT, an integral part of which is the system of monitoring and registration of tax invoices. It is aimed at preventing the artificial formation of a tax credit based on transactions that did not actually exist. However, along with the obvious advantages of automated monitoring, the existing system contains shortcomings and risks, as well as systemic problems that cause regular violations of the rights of VAT payers. The task of the state in these conditions is to find a fair balance between the fiscal interests of the state and a sufficient level of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of taxpayers.

Stopping the registration of a tax invoice is an intermediate stage of the registration procedure, but it is important, because if the necessary documents and explanations are not submitted, the stop becomes a prerequisite for refusing to register the invoice. Considering that the suspension of registration imposes an additional obligation on the taxpayer, it is important to observe the principle of legal certainty already at the stage of formation of receipts on suspension of registration.

It is proposed to finalize the Procedure for stopping the registration of a tax invoice/ calculation of adjustment in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices: to provide for an additional check by an employee of the controlling body of the existence of grounds for stopping the registration of a tax invoice. The receipt for the suspension of registration must contain a comprehensive list of documents and explanations that should be provided to the taxpayer for registration of the tax invoice.

In addition, it is proposed to make changes to the form of the decision on refusal to register a tax invoice, namely, to add a description of the requirements of the law in the documents provided by the taxpayer, indicating the document in which the violation was committed, as well as a reference to the legal norms that were violated, and justification of the relationship between the committed violation and the riskiness of the transaction.
Constitutional principles of the activity of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine
Authors: Chumak V.
Published: November 2023

The article defines the constitutional principles of the activity of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine.

It is noted that the constitutional principles of the activity of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine, it should be noted that they include: the principle of affirming and ensuring the rights and freedoms of a citizen; the principle of equality before the law of citizens; the principle of respect for the dignity of a citizen; the principle of social justice; the principle of tolerance.

It is emphasized that the principle of the rule of law is the primary among the constitutional principles of the activity of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine, because in their activities the employees of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine must act, first of all, guided by the principle of the rule of law, observing the priority of human rights over any other values.

It is emphasized that the principle of equality before the law ensures the same conditions for every member of society and imposes on the employees of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine the duty not to grant any privileges or restrictions. An employee of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine should in no case accept one of the parties during the occurrence of situations related to the violation of the law.

It is noted that the recognition, observance and protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms is the duty of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine. As measures of administrative coercion are applied in the administrative activities of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine, they directly affect the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen to one degree or another. That is why this principle is quite important. The principle of respect for the dignity of citizens in the administrative activities of the Judicial Protection Service of Ukraine means the observance of rights and freedoms not only for lawful citizens, but also for those who violate the law.
Foreign experience in managing the system of providing free legal aid
Authors: Shovkun А.А.
Published: November 2023

The scientific article describes the positive for­eign experience in managing the free legal aid system in such countries as the Republic of Po­land, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Estonia, and the Republic of Bulgaria for further application and implementation of its elements in reforming the system of free legal aid manage­ment in Ukraine.

Furthermore, this article analyzes the regulato­ry and legal framework for managing the provision of free legal aid in the abovementioned countries, including the Free Legal Aid and Education Act in the Republic of Poland, the Law on State Guaran­teed Legal Assistance in the Republic of Lithuania, State Legal Aid Act in the Republic of Estonia, and the Legal Assistance Act in the Republic of Bulgar­ia. The article highlights the features of providing free legal assistance in abovementioned countries. Besides, we have listed the main tasks of the sub­jects of management of the free legal aid system, the features of their powers, the purpose of their activities, the features of the internal structure of work, as well as the interaction of management bodies with each other. The article characterizes the main differences in the legislative regulation of the management of the sphere of providing free legal aid in the abovementioned countries. At the same time, the article emphasizes that in most of the countries studied there is a special governing body for the provision of free legal aid, but in the Republic of Estonia, such a body is not created. In Ukraine, such a body is the Coordination Centre for Legal Aid Provision, which is an independent subject of management. Moreover, given the exis­tence of legislative regulation on the issue of filing a request for state legal assistance in international affairs in the State Legal Aid Act (the Republic of Estonia), the article proposes to further provide such an opportunity for persons in need of such assistance in Ukraine.

In addition, the article emphasizes the need to develop a legislative framework for the establish­ment of the Unified Register of Free Legal Aid Pro­vision in Ukraine with its assignment to the man­agement of the Coordination Center for granting the right of assistance. The creation of the Unified Register of Free Legal Aid Provision will signifi­cantly facilitate the maintenance of documenta­tion, reporting, and analytics by the entities au­thorized to grant the right, and also reduce the time for clarifying organizational issues that arise when making a decision on the provision of free legal assistance.
Uncertainty of the conceptual and categorical apparatus in the field of integrity of judges
Authors: Matviiv R.
Published: November 2023

This scientific article presents a study of the problem of indeterminacy of the conceptual and categorical apparatus in the field of the judge's integrity in the modern legal system.

It is noted that in the modern legal understanding, the integrity of judges is a fundamental ethical and normative aspect that determines the high standard of professional behavior of judges in the context of the exercise of judicial power. This principle includes not only the dispassion (impartiality) and objectivity of the judge in the decisions made, but also his ability for self-reflection, ethical awareness and independence from the influence of external factors.

The conceptual-categorical apparatus is the main component of the legal technique, which contributes to the precise and clear expression of legal norms and ensures their effective implementation in society. In the praxeological aspect, questions of integrity of judges arose in many cases when competent authorities did not confirm the appropriate level of integrity of a judge or a candidate for this position. This is due to the essential problems of the imperfection of the legislation, since the concept of «honesty» in the legislation is not clear. The legal system and the legislation system must possess and operate in clear and unambiguous terms to avoid misunderstandings and ambiguous interpretations or recommendations regarding the interpretation of norms.

The main signs (characteristics) of the integrity of judges include, in our opinion, the following: impartiality and objectivity, the independence of a judge, which is a fundamental principle of judicial activity, which ensures his dedication to the use of the law and the result of the influence of external factors that can reveal objective consideration affairs; honesty and integrity; high level of knowledge and competence; appropriate level of professional ethics; the opportunity to bear public, legal and moral responsibility.
Punishment for the crime provided for in Art. 134 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: an overview of some problematic issues
Authors: Dyomina O.P.
Published: November 2023

The research paper provides a critical review of the lawmaker's model of criminal penalties for illegal abortion or sterilization (Article 134 of the Criminal Code). In particular, it is argued that the concept of criminal liability is complex and in its content includes both punishment and other measures of criminal law influence.

It was also critically compared the models of sanctions implemented by the legislator in the current and previous editions of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code. It was established that, in general, the types and amounts of sanctions for the basic and qualified composition of illegal abortion remained unchanged. The difference was found only in the fact that earlier there was no provision for imprisonment for performing an abortion by a person without special medical education (part 1 of Article 134 of the Criminal Code) - instead, imprisonment for a term of up to two years is now legally established.

During the implementation of the author's analysis of sanctions in the composition of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code, the classification developed by criminal law science was used, which allows to identify and systematize the main types of errors during the construction of sanctions of criminal law norms.

Taking into account critical comments on the legislator's refusal to impose a penalty of deprivation of liberty in the sanction of Part 4 of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code is proposed, from the de lege ferenda positions, in the text of the sanction of the fourth part of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code after the words "up to five years” include the following wording: "or imprisonment for a term of up to three years”.

Finally, the research led to propose an optimized model of sanctions in the first four parts of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code by officially referring to the minimum amount of the main types of punishments as follows: 1) in Part 2, restriction of liberty for a term of up to three years or deprivation of liberty for up to two years; 2) in Part 3, restriction of liberty for a period of three to five years or deprivation of liberty for two to five years; 3) in Part 4, restriction of liberty for a term of up to three years or deprivation of liberty for up to two years; 4) in Part 5, restriction of liberty for a period of two to five years or deprivation of liberty for two to five years.

Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the main approaches to understanding the concept of «crime prevention subjects», defines the system of fraud prevention subjects in the field of electronic commerce in Ukraine, examines the normative basis of the functioning of the Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine with the aim of highlighting the main provisions that characterize the relevant body as fraud prevention entity in the field of electronic commerce. It is noted that the scientific field of modern fraud research needs constant empirical updating and theoretical understanding in the field of criminology and victimology, in particular, in the part of fraud research in the field of electronic commerce and trade.

The basis of scientific criminological analysis was a complex combination of philosophical (in particular, dialectical), general scientific (synthesis, analysis, induction, deduction and generalization) and special scientific methods.

The article defines the range of fraud prevention subjects in the field of electronic commerce. The theoretical principles and legislative framework regarding the tasks and responsibilities of authorities and law enforcement agencies in the field of prevention of such a criminal offense have been studied. It was established that due to the lack of special bodies for the prevention of fraud in the field of electronic trade, the lack of established, coordinated, purposeful interaction between existing entities, the system of entities for the prevention of fraud in the field of electronic trade is not perfect.

It was concluded that fraud prevention subjects in the field of electronic commerce are multidisciplinary. Ways to improve the legislation of Ukraine in the specified area are proposed, the development of which will allow the development of conceptual state policy measures to combat fraud; and create an action program for law enforcement agencies.

Comunicar ciencia para la memoria: dos décadas del Tractorazo. Extensión universitaria e historia reciente en la provincia de Misiones
Authors: Rodríguez María Itatí , López del Valle Emmanuel
Published: November 2023

En mayo de 2002 colonos y colonas se movilizaron en sus tractores desde diferentes puntos de la provincia de Misiones con dirección a Posadas, exigiendo un precio justo para la yerba mate, hecho histórico que se denominó “tractorazo”. Estas movilizaciones materializaron la realidad de las familias productoras del interior de Misiones y, en la actualidad, son acontecimientos clave de la memoria e historia reciente local. En el presente trabajo compartimos los análisis de la experiencia del Proyecto de Extensión “Semana de la Yerba Mate” (SYM) realizado durante el mes de mayo de 2022 en la ciudad de Posadas, Misiones. Consideramos que el aniversario del Tractorazo de 2002 brindó un contexto de necesaria reflexión, pero también un ámbito propicio para promover espacios de comunicación de la ciencia y la tecnología, de la producción de la Universidad, el intercambio, la reflexión de esos aportes, desde una visión crítica con la participación activa de un público que trascienda a la comunidad académica.

Es a través de la comunicación que se visibilizan las distintas formas de reconocer el mundo, describirlo, imaginarlo y representarlo. Una palabra significa, pero el contexto indudablemente potencia el significado. Por tal razón, este trabajo se ha consolidado en tres partes, resultado de las investigaciones de proyectos académicos que contemplan los estudios y prácticas reflexivas, epistémicas y metodológicas sobre narrativas, imaginarios y representaciones sociales en Colombia y Argentina. Cada uno de los apartados cuenta con contribuciones de una alianza entre las redes del conocimiento, aportes consolidados en capítulos resultado de investigación que se han compilado para la transferencia de saberes que constituyen, a su vez, un insumo indispensable para comprender, analizar y abrir debate sobre las últimas tendencias y enfoques interdisciplinarios de las ciencias sociales y humanas.
