THE ROLE OF DIAGNOSTICS IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING SYSTEM AND INCREASING REGIONAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Authors: Nesterenko Svetlana
Published: June 2021

It was determined that the strategic planning of the socio-economic development of the region is a systematic ongoing process in order to adapt the territory to constantly changing market conditions, becoming the dominant function of managing the social and economic development of the region. It has been proven that strategic diagnostics helps to assess the effectiveness of a region's strategy, to understand its strategic position in each of the areas of activity, to assess strong and weak signals from the internal and external environment. It was found that in its pure form, basic strategies are not developed or implemented. On their basis, in the regions, as a rule, strategies focused on the internal environment are developed and implemented. A model of component analysis of the socio-economic and competitive state of the region has been developed. Studies have shown that socio-economic processes in the region are developing under the influence of simultaneously acting, but divergent external and internal factors. In conditions of increasing instability of the external environment, the influence of external factors becomes predominant in relation to internal factors. In the system of strategic planning, the definition of criteria for regional development is the result of the interaction of economic entities in the region. It is determined that an effective mechanism for coordinating the economic interests of participants in socio-economic processes is a matrix model of positioning the area of interest and responsibility of regional governments, businesses and the public. It is proved that the results of strategic diagnostics are the basis for the adoption of strategic measures by the regional authorities. It was determined that the formed dynamics of changes in the development of the studied region in comparison with the "standard" will characterize the effectiveness of regional governance over a period of time. A methodical approach to the diagnosis of socio-economic development has been developed, which can also be used for individual territories within a particular region of Ukraine.

Authors: Volovyk Olena , Kursenko Yulia
Published: June 2021

In the contemporary conditions of globalization on the one side and the lock-down reality of the COVID 19, on the other side, the synergy of marketing and logistical efforts are becoming increasingly essential for a global company to maintain a leading position on the market. The article characterizes and analysis the ways of influence of marketing decisions on logistical objectives, and, as a consequence, on the realization of strategic objectives of the company. Marketing logistics as a separate functional area of an enterprise has been specified in the article. In addition, interrelation of activities of two different business units of enterprise of doing business has been outlined on a global scale. The factors, which facilitate the integration of marketing and logistical activities, have been specified and include strengthening the differentiation of the market, making customer service providers more competitive and innovative, increasing the quality of company products, changing the product life cycle to increase demand, testing and implementing new ways to distribute products in B2B and B2C segments as well as infusing updated processes of economics and management, etc. The article also includes a thorough description of logistical activities components which ensure realization of the marketing-level strategic objectives. Based on a systematic research and analysis the global management functions, which involve both corporate marketing and logistic resources were defined. A competitive characteristic of various functional spheres of marketing and logistics within a global company was identified. They cover production, distribution and sale, volume and structure of the informational system, pricing policy and market penetration and promotion. The example of a global company is taken into account. Samsung Electronics Company has integrated all the function, which concern this work: both marketing and logistical. These functions are perfectly aligned with the strategic goals of the company, which translates effectively to the promotion and production of their products. The company gives useful examples of process management practices for other players of the global and local markets.

Behavior of reinforced high and ultra high strength concrete beams
Authors: Neaz Shahid Mohammad.
Published: June 2021

Load-deflection behaviour of reinforced beams with high strength concrete (HSC) and ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) were studied based on experimental investigations. Four concretes including one HSC and three UHSC were considered for construction of beam specimens. Two different cross-sections of reinforced beams namely Type A and Type B were considered for testing under single point loading. In addition, three sets of Type B beam were tested with three different shear span to depth ratio (a/d) for each concrete mix. The test results confirmed that flexural strength of fibre reinforced concrete increases with the increase of compressive strength of concrete and the initial stiffness of UHSC are very high compared to HSC. It was observed that Type B beam with a/d ratio less than 2 show the pattern of shear failure. As such, a theoretical model was studied to verify the performance and the shear load capacity of beams.
To what extend do governments effectively use social media? Understanding government and user interactions on immigration agencies' social media
Authors: Gintova Maria
Published: June 2021

Since 2011, Canada like many other countries, has been formally using social media as part of its open government policy. In the past few years, many federal and provincial departments and agencies in Canada have invested significant resources in social media initiatives and begun to build up their presence on social media platforms. This research examines if the use of social media makes a difference and adds value in public service delivery. The study focuses on immigration agencies in Canada – the federal government’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Province of Ontario’s Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (MCI) – and comparison with Australia and New Zealand as two other jurisdictions using social media in immigration related matters. It is aimed at capturing and analysing the perspectives of both public servants and users of government social media, therefore, filling existing gaps in the literature related to how government immigration agencies are using social media and how that use relates to social media users’ expectations and needs. The methodology used in this study includes qualitative methods: document analysis, content analysis and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis of social media data is supplemented by analysis of government documents and interview data offering insights into the meaning of effective use of social media for government and social media users. Using existing secondary sources from the scholarly and practitioner literature, the study also defines and
examines effective use of social media by government and includes recommendations for practitioners. Findings of this study add value to existing scholarship on public policy and administration and for policy makers and public servants responsible for the use of social media in government to improve existing policy and public service delivery.
Finding yourself at work: examining the influence of attachment styles on organizational identification
Authors: Hewitt Spencer
Published: June 2021

Understanding why and how employees engage with their organization is integral to the maintenance of a productive workforce. While research on attachment theory in organizations has focused on interpersonal work relationships, recent theory suggests that employees may attach to the organization itself. This study examines whether attachment style influences if and how employees choose to identify with their organization. Specifically, I focus on how adult attachment style influences an expanded form of organizational identification and whether or not person-organization fit and need for organizational identification moderate the hypothesized attachment-identity relationships. The results of a time-lagged study of 362 working adults suggest that attachment anxiety encourages self-definition in terms of the organization while individuals high in avoidance seek to maintain emotional distance from the organization in their identities. No support was found for the hypothesized moderators. The results are framed around potential development of the expanded model of organizational identification.
Development and demonstration of an energy feedback research platform in a field study with real-time social comparisons
Authors: Trinh Kevin
Published: June 2021

Providing residential tenants with feedback on their energy use can be an effective intervention, promoting savings ranging from 4-12%. However, advancements in feedback design have been hindered by methodological limitations, the lack of specification of visual feedback designs, and a poor understanding of the behaviour changes that are induced by feedback. This thesis presents the design and demonstration of an Internet-of-Things-based feedback research platform, which was intended to help address these issues, and which will be made freely available for re-use and reconfiguration. Configured for a rental apartment building in Toronto, Canada, the platform was a central component of a conservation program and field study examining the efficacy of real-time social comparisons. Results showed a statistically significant effect of the conservation program with a relative year-over-year, weather-normalized savings of approximately 11%. An encouraging, but non-significant, finding of a 3.5% relative improvement with real-time social comparisons warrants future large scale studies.
Dieu et Mon Droit: The Marginalization of Parliament and the Role of Neoliberalism in The Function of the Ontario Legislature From 1971 to 2014
Authors: McDowell Thomas E.
Published: June 2021

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the increasingly popular trend among western governments to use arcane parliamentary mechanisms to circumvent the legislative process. However, despite growing concern for the influence of parliament, there are few comprehensive studies that capture the evolution of this pattern in the detail necessary to draw substantive conclusions about why it is occurring. This dissertation seeks to address this gap in the literature by undertaking a detailed archival analysis of the evolution of the role and function of the Ontario Legislature between 1971 and 2014. Using an interpretivist approach, it draws upon the Marxist political economy literature to assess the nature of the relationship between the marginalization of parliament and the emergence of neoliberalism as the dominant policy paradigm in Ontario over the course of the same period.
This project makes the case that the Ontario Legislature has undergone a profound shift from an assembly characterized largely by cooperation between the three major political parties in the 1970s, to one in which governments have routinely made use of all methods of parliamentary procedures to undermine the opposition. An important explanation for the emergence of this trend, it is argued, has been to insulate controversial neoliberal reforms from democratic control by hastening their passage through the legislature. The utilization of these restrictive instruments has been coupled with a growing tendency by governments to overcome institutional obstacles to the implementation of neoliberal restructuring measures by granting themselves increasingly significant powers to govern through regulation. Thus, while a confluence of factors have contributed to the marginalization of the legislature in Ontario, the compulsion to shield neoliberal reforms from exposure to institutional processes emerges as arguably the most significant explanation.
It is hoped this dissertation will make several contributions to the literature. First, although the scholarship has largely ignored the role of parliamentary institutions to the implementation of neoliberalism, this study shows that they are central to the story of neoliberal restructuring in Ontario. Second, it shows that all three major parties have not only moved Ontario in a neoliberal direction, but have also been responsible for significant changes to the legislature’s procedures. Third, it provides a historical canvass of the evolution of procedure at Queen’s Park, demonstrating that while restrictive measures were initially exceptional, employed only to facilitate the passage of highly controversial measures, over time they have become commonplace, routinely used for all varieties of legislation.
The Big Data Gap: Is There Congruence Between Data Skills Demanded By The Industry And Canadian Academic Preparation?
Authors: Wieczorek Michal
Published: June 2021

This thesis examines occupations in the Canadian Big Data industry. Through analysing Canadian job advertisements, the aim is to understand what skills a professional in a data occupation requires. Supplementing with a content analysis of graduate master‘s programs focusing in Data Science, Analytics or Big Data the study explores Canadian educational institution offerings which prepare students for jobs in the field. Using topic modeling methods and typologies results show a fit between universities‘ presented content and what skills are demanded by the industry. An updated framework of Todd et al. (1995) is presented for easier comparison and recommendations of creating undergraduate data programs are discussed. Contributions made by this study can aid universities in a structuring their curricula for ―Big Data‖ programs. Furthermore, this study contributes to the literature by explaining multiple job qualifications which allows for more standardized job descriptions, benefiting the employers, job seekers and universities.

Published: June 2021

This study aims to address the current gaps in knowledge by identifying the main factors that influence customer loyalty to third-party automotive repair shops and provide strategies so that the latter can enhance customer loyalty and retention. The study focuses on third-party independent, automotive repair and service because of the limited and incomplete research on customer loyalty and strategies for improving business processes in this context. The dependent variable was Customer Loyalty and the independent variables were: Service Quality, Perceived Value, Trust, Habit, Reputation & Servicescape. The study found that Service quality, Trust and Reputation have a significant influence on customer loyalty on third party automotive shops.
The contribution of corporate social responsibility to financial performance: a factor model of Canadian stocks
Authors: Behroyan Mohammad
Published: June 2021

This paper studies the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the returns of Canadian stocks. It employs the 3-factor asset-pricing model created by Fama and French (1993) and adds a new CSR factor (2x3 sorts) to examine if the explanatory power of the model is improved by the CSR factor. I, also, introduce an alternative method to create a 4-factor model (2x2x2 sorts). The results of my tests show the CSR factor does not improve the explanatory power of the Fama French models. Furthermore, replacing HML by CSR captures no more excess returns and I conclude that corporate social responsibility is not a priced factor in Canadian capital markets. In addition, the 3-factor model (based on Rm-Rf, SMB, HML) generates the exactly same results as Fama-French (1993 and 2015) models. Finally, I find that large firms, especially big size-low BE/ME companies, tend to be more “ethical”.
An Investigation of Family Culture in Family Firms' Performance in Retailer-Vendor Strategic Partnerships
Authors: Godoy Leonardo Amado
Published: June 2021

This research proposes a model to measure the effect of family culture on firm performance in family business retailer-vendor strategic partnerships. Prior research that has contributed to the development of the discourse on family culture, organizational culture, family and relationship value, commitment, and trust will be analyzed. Eight hypotheses are presented, four of which are an extension of prior research. The model ratifies a positive relationship between family culture and performance, especially when considering the successor generation. Since the founders of the firm are the personification of the family culture itself, for this group, family culture does not positively influence performance. The outcome of this research will illustrate not only the effects of family culture in family firms’ performance, but also the impact of relationship and behavioral factors in business.
Does Subway Station Proximity Spur Residential Development? Analyzing the Impact of the Sheppard Subway Line on Housing Development in the City of Toronto
Authors: Naseer Alyson
Published: June 2021

This study examines the pace and scale of residential development within a 1-kilometer radius of subway stations along the Sheppard Subway line within the City of Toronto during the years 1991-2016. The dataset used for this study was obtained from Statistics Canada that contained data on the number of housing units per dissemination area within a 1-kilometer radius of a subway station in addition to several variables used for analysis. The difference- in-differences method was used, findings indicated insignificant results meaning the Sheppard Subway Line did not spur residential development at a rate faster than the one observed for the Sheppard West corridor. This was further proved by examining the pace of development during the pre-treated and post-treated period amongst both the treated and control groups, findings indicated that both groups received similar amounts of residential growth, such that the difference in residential construction between the two corridors was statistically insignificant.
Mirror, mirror on the wall: The factors that influence consumers' behavioural intention to use smart mirrors in Canada
Authors: Heney Chelsea
Published: June 2021

The retail industry is currently in a state of disruption and significant change. Successful retailers will be those that put their customers in the center of the shopping journey and create exceptional total retail experiences. Increasingly, retailers are turning to smart technology as a means of satisfying consumer demand for unique experiences and offerings. Adapting the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) this research seeks to explain the factors that influence Canadian consumers’ behavioural intention to use smart mirrors in a retail stores. Results from the PLS-SEM analysis suggest that perceived value (PV), performance expectancy (PE), hedonic motivation (HM) and social influence (SI) are significant. Interestingly, results of the multigroup analysis (MGA) technique suggest that the moderating variables of age, gender, and income are not significant and have no effect on the relationship between the primary constructs and behavioural intention.
Defining obstacles & opportunities for innovation in the Canadian retail sector
Authors: Sedlezky Sean
Published: June 2021

This thesis examines how retailers approach innovation and strategic decision making. While there is vast prior research about innovation across different sectors, until recently, the perspective of retailers was under-represented in the literature. Where it does exist, the focus has typically been on product manufacturing or process improvements through technology or partnering with their vendor community, rather than an exploration of how retailers think about and develop innovation strategy internally. In some cases, prior research has identified what retail executives say about innovation. However, their words appear at times to be inconsistent with their actions, perhaps due to the wide spectrum of how each interprets the meaning of innovation. Thus, interviews were conducted with 14 experts who offer considerable experience and a broad perspective on the Canadian retail industry as consultants and partners. The purpose of this inductive, qualitative study was to identify what potential industry-specific and internal obstacles to innovation retailers may wish to consider in the future. Results have led to seven emergent themes classified as “legacy issues”, “daily business”, “risk avoidance”, leadership”, “sharing culture”, “unseen technology” and “customer focus”. The barriers or obstacles noted within each theme suggest several potential opportunities for retailers to encourage a more innovative mindset within their organization.
Leadership Vision and School-Family-Community Partnerships in the Model Schools for Inner Cities Initiative: a Multiple Explanatory Case Study
Authors: Cummins Natalie
Published: June 2021

Research has highlighted the important role of school leadership in fostering school-family-community partnerships, but few studies purposefully test causal links between leadership practices, partnerships, and student educational success and family well-being. This explanatory multiple case study analyzed secondary parent focus group and school administrator interview data at two schools in the Toronto-based Model Schools for Inner Cities initiative. Descriptive analyses revealed seven leadership practices administrators used to foster school-family-community partnerships. Explanatory analyses considered how and through what mechanisms of change leaders who share leadership responsibilities with families affect student and family outcomes. A causal link between shared leadership strategies and student and family outcomes was confirmed. Key mechanisms of change included parents’ sense of ownership and feelings of empowerment as well as parents’ perceptions of congruent interests and goals. Further, moderating conditions were identified, most predominantly, the leader’s social justice vision. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
Windmills and Landfills: Framing Controversial Environmental Policies as a Risk to Human Health and Conflict Expansion Strategies
Authors: Thom Adam
Published: June 2021

Conflicts about environmental policies are often focused on the risk to human health posed by a facility or technology. Genetically modified food, oil pipelines, and pesticides are examples of policy issues that have generated tremendous debate related to human health and safety. A key focus of scholarship on such contested policy debates places an emphasis on how these policies are framed, how framing alters the policy process and in turn alters policy outcomes. This research project asks how and why the framing of a policy as a threat to human health influences the policy process and policy outcomes? To answer this question, two case studies of environmental conflicts related to controversial facilities are examined and compared: a waste landfill conflict and a large wind energy conflict. This dissertation seeks to integrate an understanding of the role of risk into theories of public policy by building on the approach to analyzing policy conflicts developed by Sarah Pralle. By using a mix of qualitative, quantitative and process tracing methods in these two cases, this research seeks to understand the role of risk frames in conflict expansion strategies and how such frames are used to include new actors and institutions and thereby alter policy outcomes. The key finding in this study reveals the relationship between the framing of a policy as a threat to human health, the institutional venues in which that policy is contested, and the incentives for strategic venue-shopping these produce. When policy actors are able to successfully frame a facility as a threat to human health, they are able to shift the conflict over that facility to an institutional venue that does not privilege expert understandings of risk. This venue shift opens the opportunity to defeat the facility in a venue more open to non-expert understandings of risk. This finding is not only theoretically important but should serve as warning that institutional venues such as environmental assessment processes that restrict the consideration of risk to expert based assessments will only incentivize opponents to seek out new venues in which to pursue their goals.
Globa:Local Architecture
Authors: Ahmadi Amir N.
Published: June 2021

How essential is it to understand the local context in a globalized world? Globalization is a rapid traversing of ideas, attitudes and values across national borders that lead to an interconnectedness and interaction between peoples of diverse cultures and ways of life.

What if the local architectural mosaic depends on strengthening the capacity to invite people with different backgrounds and ideas to establish a connection to their heritage, whilst at the same time complying with globalized architecture? Is there a way to combine the freedom and flexibility of local cultures with the restrictive and regulatory influence of a globalized hierarchy?

This thesis explores the architecture that emerges out of the hybridization of multiple forces to be both locally unique and globally adaptable.

Authors: Wulandari Laura
Published: June 2021

In an effort to provide public services, there are still many shortcomings when viewed from a quality perspective. It is still far from what the community expects. If this condition is not responded to, it will cause a bad image. During a pandemic period, the health system maintains a balance between meeting the needs for handling a pandemic and fulfilling essential health services. With a health protocol that must be carried out in order to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19, it is necessary to make technical adjustments to health services carried out by the FKTP. This, of course, can affect the quality of service which can also affect the satisfaction felt by patients. This study is an analytic observational study using non-probability techniques with an accidental sampling method with a sample of 200 people who are patients of clinic X in Surabaya and review patient satisfaction documents in the previous year. The variables studied were reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangible aspects. The satisfaction received by clink X patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was 3.60. In 2019, Clinic X received 3.85 satisfaction. The decline in the average score of patient satisfaction was at least in the assurance aspect (0.21), while the other four aspects experienced a decrease (0.26). There is a need for improvement efforts according to the current conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic to improve service and customer satisfaction at clinic X in Surabaya.

Published: June 2021

Tomato fruits are one of the most commonly consumed vegetables worldwide for their health as well as nutritional benefits. However, the fruits contain a lot of water which predisposes them to spoilage by microorganisms that makes its storage and transportation difficult. In the present study, the work was carried out to determine the proximate and minerals composition of three tomato fruits cultivars namely: DanEka, Bahaushe and UTC grown in Sokoto, Sokoto State, Nigeria. Tomato samples were collected from different sales outlets (Kasuwar DanKure and Kasuwar Daji) in Sokoto metropolis and were analyzed for proximate and mineral contents using standard laboratory procedures. Results showed that UTC had highest proteins (1.68%), carbohydrates (91.52%), magnesium (3.6 ppm), sodium (14.0 ppm) and potassium (0.994 ppm) contents but was the least in moisture (90.2%), crude fat (0.2%) and calcium (1.5 ppm). On the other hand, DanEka was observed to have least protein (0.70%), carbohydrates (89.08%), ash (0.02%), magnesium (2.7 ppm) and phosphorus (0.795 ppm) but had the highest moisture (95.2%) and calcium (1.6 ppm) contents. Conversely, the highest crude fat (4.0%) and least sodium (8 ppm) contents were recorded in Bahaushe. It was however moderate in moisture, carbohydrates, protein, magnesium and phosphorous. The proximate compositions have shown that the cultivars were of high nutritional quality and UTC could stand longer postharvest storage period considering its lower moisture content

Function of Ethnonyms in the Work Baburnama
Authors: Abdykadyrova S.
Published: June 2021

This article deals with ethnonyms and their role in the famous work Baburnama, written by the Turkic writer, poet and ruler Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur. The text of a work of art reflects a unique, individual author’s picture of the world of the writer, his conceptual sphere, filled with a special artistic worldview. The relevance of referring to the study of ethnonyms in the text Baburnama is due to their insufficient research. Since ancient times, they have reflected various important social and spiritual phenomena in the life of the peoples of Central Asia. The study of ethnonyms will help the reader to imagine the history of that time, the genetic makeup of Babur’s empire; will tell about the relationship between peoples, about their language and culture. In addition to all this, ethnonymy can tell a lot about the author himself, about his socio-cultural and ethnicity. This work shows that the ethnonymic layer of the vocabulary of any language is especially valuable for research in the field of cultural history. The study of ethnonyms opens up ample opportunities for the study of individual linguistic characteristics that characterize a particular ethnos. Scientific works of V. V. Radlov and V. V. Bartold laid the foundation for various oriental studies, including the study of the Turkic languages, ethnography, folklore and archaeological heritage. Based on their works, we tried to reflect the interweaving of various cultural, ethnic and linguistic traditions in the studied material.
La Bretagne à l'Académie française
Authors: Thomas Mannaig
Published: June 2021

This article examines the tensions which shaped the careers of three Breton writers – Charles Le Goffic, Anatole Le Braz and Auguste Dupouy – who achieved a degree of national recognition during their lifetime while maintaining their regional affiliations. Although ‘regionalist’ writing was in vogue from 1890 to the early 1940s, such a label could be a handicap for authors attempting to achieve legitimacy on the national stage. In contrast to ‘French’ authors well established in Paris, these ‘polygraphic’ writers published works across a wide variety of genres, with multiple publishing houses both in the capital and in Brittany. All three lived a kind of double life, oscillating between works of universal scope and those which foregrounded local specificity. This analysis offers a fluid model of literary activity which calls into question the rigidity of the familiar Paris/provinces dichotomy, demonstrating how these authors helped to redefine the frontiers of national literary life while affirming their regional identity.

Published: June 2021

The whole modern world is imbued with signs. All processes are carried out by means of signs. The signs that surround us have various functions — they indicate the direction of movement,indicate the quality of the product, some have a hidden meaning. A person recognizes the signs and uses them every day. One of these types of marks is a trademark.By accepting information in signs, a person not only reproduces, but also creates a subjective understanding, meaning, meaning based on the principles of one's culture, intelligence, emotions and experience. That is, everyone has the same information, but the meaning and content are different.Modern trademarks are well-established forms of corporate culture. Such a culture extends to various aspects of social interconnections — legal, economic, commercial, cultural, and so on. Trademarks are business cards of companies. Trademarks, among other things, perform a communicative function. Trademarks should declare and represent their owners favorably, form the image of products and services, achieve consumer loyalty, and more. In the context of the expansion of trade and business network companies in the national and global markets, the trademark serves as an instrument for competitive confrontation. Understanding the importance of trademarks in the creating an overall corporate identity, their potential owners understand that the development of trademarks requires considerable effort.The success of companies should be supported by a consistent communication policy. The article discusses some of the communicative properties of a volumetric trademark (in the context of this article, packaging). Through the trademark's communication functions, the relationship between the manufacturer and the potential consumer is established. The formation of relations between the trademark and the consumer is achieved precisely through an effective communication process between them. All elements and functions of communicationbetween the trademark and the consumer should be aimed at providing objective and convincing information not only about the product itself, but also about the trademark. The trademark itself is an integrating element of the communication system, because it combines the goal — the formation of a need, the process-the implementation of the contemplation and the result — the formation of consumer loyalty.

The article touches upon basic issues for the legal regulation of visual art market in Ukraine. Nowadays works of visual art are regarded notonly as objects for aesthetic enjoyment but also as commercial assets. Current trading relationships are being influenced by global geographical changes of business, digital transformation and IT development.Attention is drawn to the fact that trading relations in art works should be based on such fundamental principles as equality of parties, autonomy of will, and reasonable transparency of commercial operations. It should also be defined the basic elements of trade dealings in the visual art market. They are parties to the relationships, subject matters, and certain content of rights and duties depending on type and nature of legal privity.The comprehensive analysis of legal capacity and competence has been undertaken in the research. Therefore, market participant should have legal ability to acquire and perform personal rights and obligations connected with art trading. They should be able to be hold responsible for their unlawful actions as well. The creator of visualart work should also have creative capacity to be regarded as author and proper party to the transaction.Besides, it is pointed out the main features of visual art works in case they are subject matter to trading activity. Currently, more and more contemporary art works are appearing on the market, for example, installations and computer generated art works. But commercial turnover accepts artistic results, which are unique, creative and aesthetic enjoyable. So, no art work should be considered as a subject matter to marketplace that does not contain intellectual and creative components. It should not be easily-reproducible too.Also worth noting is that certain content of legal relations in the visual art market consists of two-dimensional authorities. Permitting competence is intended to determinethe limit and procedure of voluntary conduct. Obligatory warranties establishsome restrictions and prohibitions. They are meant to attach the liability for non-performance or improper performance of duties.The article is concluded by saying that theoretical framework of visual art market is an important base for providing the suitable level of legal regulation of art trading relations.
STATE LAND CADASTRE DATABASE OBJECTIVE COMPOSITION
Authors: Андрій Петренко
Published: June 2021

The Land Cadastre in Ukraine is a database and a defined system of actions in relation to the accounting, description and evaluation of land, which are carried out by competent state bodies for the appropriate purpose. Against this background, within our research,we propose to understand the concept of «State Land Cadastre Database» (SLCD) as a set of data placed in the corresponding unified state geoinformation system of land information. The outlined approach to understanding the concept allows us to fully agree that the considered unified state geoinformation system of land informationis the primary tool for managing the Land Fund.Analyzing the legislation, it can be noticed that the legislator understands under these specified objects not tables, queries, forms, reports, macros and modules, but rather land within the state border of Ukraine, land within the territory of administrative and territorial units, restrictions on the use of land, land plot. In view of this, it canbe assumed that the objects of the State Land Cadastre and the objects of the SLCD are not identical, and, consequently, the position that the State Land Cadastre is actually identical to the concept of «SLCD» in the narrow sense of the land cadastre is erroneous.This article shows results of analysis of the structure of SLCD and research about what meaning Ukrainian Legislator includes in the very noun of «State Land Cadastre objects». The main question, that author tries to answer in this research work is what is the differences between State Land Cadastre objects and objects of the StateGeoinformation System which are both functioning in Ukraine but didn’t have same level regulation in legislation.Based on discovered regulation of the State Land Cadastre objects (lands inside Ukrainian borders, lands inside smaller administrative units, lands usage restrictions, land parcels) author makes an attempt to define the meaning of objects of State Geoinformation System and appropriate approaches to their regulation. In case of Civil Law, described objects can be not only set of traditional civil competences but can be complicated units of intellectual property.
