Abstract : This study aims to determine the effect of using the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on increasing student interest and learning outcomes, knowing student responses to the process of learning activities using the PjBL model, and knowing the high percentage of student learning outcomes obtained from using the PjBL model. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), carried out in two cycles with four stages. The stages in question are planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were students of class X MIA 1 SMAN 1 Purbolinggo in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data analysis technique used is effect size analysis, student response analysis, and analysis of student learning outcomes. The results of the study include: the use of the PjBL model affects increasing student interest in learning with a known effect size of 0.2298 in cycle 1 and 0.439 in cycle 2, and the use of the PjBL model affects improving student learning outcomes with a known effect size of 0.499 in cycle 1 and 0.71 in cycle 2, students like the process of learning activities using the PjBL model, the high percentage of completeness of student learning outcomes from using the PjBL model is 67.6% with 23 students completing cycle 1 and 87% with 28 students completing cycle 2 . Suggestions for similar research to be carried out include: it is necessary to research on improving aspects of interest and other learning outcomes using different subject matter. It can be done using two different classes to determine the effect of implementing the PjBL model so that differences or comparisons can be known.Keywords: Interest in Learning, Learning outcomes, Project Based Learning (PjBL) model.
Does Management at a Neuroscience Centre Improve Outcomes for Patients with a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury? A Systematic Review
Authors: Jones Ben
Published: October 2023

Patients with severe Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) require management in hospital. However, should they be directly transported to a Neuroscience Centre (NC) or can they be safely treated at a local hospital before being subsequently transferred to an NC? This systematic review was undertaken to evaluate what effect transfers to an NC had on mortality rates amongst adult patients with a severe TBI. A systematic literature review was conducted using the databases Medline, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Cochrane. The inclusion criteria were: published between 2010 and 2023, adult patients (≥18) with severe TBI (Glasgow coma scale ≤8). The primary outcome studied was mortality. The secondary outcomes were, the impact that subsequent transfer to an NC had on mortality, the delay subsequent transfer had on surgery, and the accuracy of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) triage. The review analysed seven studies. Four reported no statistically significant difference in mortality in patients taken to an NC, despite NCs receiving more severely injured patients. Transferring patients from a local hospital to an NC was significantly associated with reduced mortality in one study (aOR, 0.79, 95% CI, 0.64-0.96), and reduced 24-hour (RR 0.31, 0.11-0.83) and 30-day (RR 0.66, 0.46-0.96) mortality in another. Subsequent transfers prolonged delays to surgery in several studies but were not statistically significant. This systematic review found that directly transporting severe TBI patients to an NC did not improve mortality. Mortality at 24-hour and 30-days was significantly reduced in patients who were subsequently transferred to an NC. A subset of patients benefit from urgent neurosurgical intervention as direct transfer to an NC improved their mortality rates. Severe TBI patients were accurately recognised by EMS staff. The skewing of more severely injured patients directly transported to an NC may be masking any survival benefit of direct NC admission.
Intrinsic Dynamics of Brain Functional Connectivity in Relation to Women’s Menstrual Cyclic Phases and its Impact on Their Stress, Life Satisfaction, and Social Distress
Authors: Gupta Ishani
Published: October 2023

Research has reported that the fluctuations of sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone lead to neurological changes in the different brain regions across the menstrual cycle and its phases: menses, follicular, and luteal. Although some psychological changes have also been reported for women across their menstrual cycle, not enough studies have approached this topic from a neuropsychological perspective. For this reason, I am investigating brain connectivity fluctuations across a 32-day menstruation cycle and its impact on women’s life satisfaction (LS), perceived stress (PS), and emotional support (ES). For this study, I am using the data (n=406) that has been collected by the Human Connectome Project. I am using an experimental research methodology looking at correlations (connectivity) between brain regions and associated variables of menstrual cycle phases (menses, follicular, and luteal) across a 32-day menstrual cycle, and what this tells us about the participants’ LS, PS, and ES total scores. In neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are applied to understand complex brain functions, brain and behaviour relationships, and shows potential to diagnose neurological disorders and interventions. AI, and elastic net regression, which is a type of statistical technique for neuroimaging data, will be used to analyse the brain activity relationships that I am investigating. In my presentation, I aim to discuss whether functional connectivity in brain regions is linked to women’s LS, PS, and ES, and the implications of this for menstrual health. This pilot study, by using a big data set of relatively healthy participants to further our understanding of this topic, will help to open doors for future research with similar investigating aims for more impactful menstrual related health conditions like Premenstrual Syndrome and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.
Creating Change for Rural Allied Health via a DHSc Pathway
Authors: George Jane
Published: October 2023

The recruitment and retention of health professionals in rural and remote locations is a world-wide challenge. Investment to improve the pipeline for medicine and nursing, as well as to attract overseas qualified personnel, has been significant in Aotearoa New Zealand. Those professions, collectively known as Allied Health, Scientific & Technical (AHPs), of which there are over 40 separate professions, have not had the same attention or investment, leaving rural communities without access to many of the assessments, treatments and diagnostics that enable people to grow up well, live well and age well. The objective of this research was to discover what AHPs identify as the attractive aspects of living and working rurally. The purpose of exploring AHP perspectives was so that their insights and experiences could underpin practical advice and guidance for rural and remote health systems to improve their recruitment and retention experiences and support AHPs to flourish in these settings. This research drew on Interpretive Descriptive methodology. Data was collected in semi-structured interviews using an Appreciative Inquiry lens, and analysed using Braun and Clarke’s Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022). Eighteen AHPs from seven professional groups, who lived and/or worked rurally, were interviewed across Aotearoa using video conferencing. Three key themes were constructed including: ‘Sense of Connection & Belonging’, ‘Safe & Supported Practice’ and ‘Creating Roles People Want to Come For’. These were woven with an integrative theme: ‘Fit’. The findings contain rich suggestions of how AHPs can be attracted to and retained in rural and remote communities. The research also highlights several key areas, specific to line managers, recruiters, employing organisations, tertiary providers, professional associations and registering bodies, where action can be taken to improve the experiences of AHPs in rural areas.
Validation of the Future Self Continuity Questionnaire (FSCQ)
Authors: Han Lei
Published: October 2023

This oral presentation aims to illustrates a local validation of a recently developed measure of future-self-continuity, the Future Self Continuity Questionnaire (FSCQ). Self-continuity is the sense of psychological connection between the past self, the present self and the future self, in the dimension of time (Chandler, 1994). Rutchick et al. (2018) propose that when people feel a greater sense of continuity between their present and future selves, their decision making may be more influenced by thoughts of their future self. The study will recruit at least 200 participants to fill out a series of questionnaires related to future self-continuity, including the Future Self-Continuity Scale (FSCS), Consideration of Future Consequences-14 Scale (CFC-14), Multidimensional Temporal Self-Continuity Scale (MTSCS), and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). The higher degree people's future self-continuity (according to the FSCQ), the more likely they are to associate their future self with their past/present self (as measured by FSCS and MTSCS). This inclination also tends to result in a greater consideration for the future consequences of their actions (as measured by the CFC), and potentially corresponds with a lower degree of hopelessness (as measured by BHS). Analyses will include item analyses, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to examine the factorial structure of the questionnaire, alongside assessments of internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
Concealment of administrative offenses by public officials: indicators and forms
Authors: Likhovitskyy Ya. , Dovba T.
Published: October 2023

Administrative offenses are offenses that can arise in various areas of activity involving public officials. These actions may have negative consequences for the public, undermining the principles of legality, transparency, and accountability. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of concealing administrative offenses by public officials and explores its impact on the legal system and society as a whole.

The essence of the problem lies in the fact that public officials, who are obligated to act in the public interest and comply with the law, may conceal their wrongful acts or offenses. Such practices violate the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law, affecting the level of trust citizens have in government authorities and institutions. The article thoroughly examines the reasons that contribute to concealing offenses and also explores potential consequences for society.

To effectively combat the concealment of administrative offenses, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the problem and identify ways to counteract this phenomenon. The article investigates various approaches to ensuring accountability for public officials and developing a system of control over their actions. The authors emphasize the need to create effective mechanisms of oversight and supervision, which will help prevent impunity within governmental structures and ensure the fair application of the law.

All aspects explored in the article aim to promote the development of a legal culture, strengthen trust in government institutions, and ensure transparency and legality within society. The authors provide recommendations for improving mechanisms to detect and hold public officials accountable for concealing offenses. This will facilitate more effective functioning of state structures, enhance the quality of justice, and reinforce citizens’ trust in their government.
Administrative and legal regulation of the implementation of the right to peaceful assembly under the conditions of martial state
Authors: Sahno A.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the problems of administrative and legal regulation of the exercise of the right to peaceful assembly in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. It has been established that the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine define a single subject empowered to prohibit the right of citizens to peaceful assembly, whose role is played by courts of general jurisdiction. The expediency of canceling clause 8, part 1, article 8 of the Law of Ukraine “On the legal regime of martial law”, regarding the granting of powers to the military command and military administrations to ban peaceful meetings, rallies, marches and demonstrations, and other mass events, has been substantiated. Attention is drawn to the fact that the legislator has not yet adopted a special legislative act aimed at determining the procedure for organizing and holding peaceful meetings, rallies, marches and demonstrations, and other mass events. The direct influence of the absence of the specified special law on the quality of law enforcement practice of courts of general jurisdiction during the consideration of administrative cases under article 185-1 of the Code of administrative offenses has been proven. It is emphasized that there is no clear and legally regulated categorical apparatus, with the help of which it would be possible to distinguish the concepts of “peaceful gatherings”, “meetings”, “campaigns”, “demonstrations”, “other mass events. It is emphasized that the national legislation on the freedom of peaceful assembly needs to be revised in the part related to the regulation of urgent, spontaneous peaceful assemblies, as well as peaceful events that are held in the absence of the organizer. The need for a conceptual definition of the implementation mechanism of public events, which are held: a) spontaneously; b) without an organizer; c) urgently (without delay).
Prospects of legal reception in the conditions of Ukraine’s acquisition of EU membership
Authors: Suhan I. , Porada S.
Published: October 2023

The free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is the basis of the functioning of the European Union as a regional supranational entity. It is these principles that determine the benchmarks of norm-making by the institutions of the European Union.

At the same time, the specified bases determine the context of harmonization of the legislation of the member states of the European Union. Likewise, the main category of litigation, which is or has been under consideration by the Court of the European Union, concerns precisely the violation of the specified principles of the functioning of the internal market.

In the context of the above, the European integration of Ukraine leads to a change in the paradigm of state regulation in the economic sphere, primarily towards the liberalization of legislative requirements. At the same time, this primarily concerns the state regulation of the tax and customs systems of Ukraine. Both the tax system and the customs need significant liberalization in the context of changing the repressive-fiscal approach to the service approach.

The Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union itself establishes a series of successive steps aimed at adapting and harmonizing national Ukrainian legislation in the context of European values of free movement of goods, persons, services and capital.

At the same time, taking into account the special nature of the constitution as the basis of the national legal system, the norms of which have direct effect, an important guarantee of the implementation within the Ukrainian jurisdiction of the above-mentioned four freedoms of the internal market of the European Union would be the constitutional consolidation of the principles of adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the rules of the internal market of the European Union precisely in view of the basic paradigm of free movement of goods, persons, services and capital.

At most, the existence of a constitutional consolidation of the foundations of the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital would make it possible to direct both judicial practice and law- making and by-law rule-making activities in the appropriate direction.

The above would clearly contribute to the improvement of the economic and investment climate in Ukraine, which will become especially relevant in the war and post-war periods.

At the same time, the reception mechanism is one of the most effective ways of unifying different legal systems.
The german «model» of criminal-legal protection of the circulation of medicines and the circulation of medical products: concepts and structure
Authors: Berzin P. , Volynets R. , Frolova O.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the German «model» of criminal law protection of circulation of medicines and circulation of medical products. A number of obligations assumed by Ukraine after the conclusion of the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other hand, are analyzed. In particular, obligations related to the legal protection of medicines and medical products.

The subject of the authors’ consideration is the European standards of the «model» of criminal law protection of circulation of medicines and circulation of medical products against their counterfeiting (falsification), which Ukraine is obliged to take into account (according to the Medicrime convention).

The criminal legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany is studied, as it provides the most complete protection of the circulation of medicines and the circulation of medical products. The German Medicines Act (1976) and the German Medical Products Act (2002) were developed by the authors.

The German approach in defining the concept of medicinal products in the Law on Circulation of Medicinal Products is presented, which, according to the authors, is important because it «contradicts» the approach laid down in the Medicrime Convention.

The article pays attention to the types of German criminal offenses that encroach on the established order of circulation of medicinal products and the types of criminal offenses that encroach on the established order of circulation of medical products.

The authors find that the main advantages of the German «model» are the detailed inclusion of the provisions of the regulatory legislation, which ensures the circulation of medicinal products and the circulation of medical products, in the content of the structural elements of a specific type of criminal offense: a) in the content of objective and subjective signs of the corresponding composition of the act (on one «level» of the structure of the criminal offense), as well as b) the illegality of these criminal offenses (on another «level» of the structure).

The content of “the circulation of medicines” and “the circulation of medical products”, provided for in the relevant provisions of the German Law on the circulation of medicines and the Law on medical products, is analyzed.

The article is sanctified to some questions, that arise up in the process of the legal adjusting of labour of persons, convict to imprisonment with setting of additional punishment in the type of privation of right to hold certain positions or carry on certain activity. Convolute attention on a tendency to reduction of application of this repressive measure in practice of courts. On the basis of the conducted analysis legal collisions were educed, in particular between the binding overs of criminally-executive legislation, positions of the International pact about civil and political rights and norms of penal law, in part of adjusting of labour of convict to imprisonment, and also actual contradiction between voluntarily realization of right to work and duty to work for persons, that leave punishment for the type of imprisonment that is descendant the short stories of criminally-executive legislation. It is accented on an actual association in legal maintenance «publicly useful work of convict to imprisonment» of three various on the nature types of labour, that stipulated the process of evaluation of such labour in the generalized kind without a selection and taking into account of specific of type of such activity.

Author is offer adjustment of normative positions of Criminal Code, Criminally-Executive Code and department documents, criminally-executive relations sent to adjusting, namely: exception from the criminally-executive legislation of norm about obligatoryness of labour of this category of convict with simultaneous adjustment of mechanism of conditionally-early liberation by means of replacement of abstract formulation of «attitude toward labour» in p. 2 art. 81 Criminal Code by a concrete condition: by «realization of publicly-useful labour and absence of debts on executive documents».

In addition, by an author convolute attention on the necessity of realization of next adjustment legislation: introduction of legal interpretation of concept «publicly-useful labour» to the binding overs of criminally- executive legislation with leaning of public interest in his rich in content loading; alignment jurisdictions of organ of probation and administration of criminally-executive establishments in part of implementation by them punishments in the type of privation of right to hold certain positions or carry on certain activity, appointed to convict to imprisonment in quality of additional punishment, by making alteration to art. 31 Criminally-Executive Code; expansion of maintenance of Rules of internal order of establishments of implementation of punishments by the gone into detail procedure of conclusion of labour treaty or agreement with convict to privation.
Problem issues of evidence admissibility regarding misconduct after the expiration of pre-trial investigation terms
Authors: Lukyanchikov Y. , Tetska I.
Published: October 2023

The article notes that the criminal procedural law currently does not regulate and does not set the term of pre-trial investigation from the moment of entering data on a criminal offense into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations prior to the date of serving a person with a notice of suspicion of a criminal offense. At the same time, the Code of Criminal Procedure sets such term for crimes being publicly dangerous than misconduct involving more severe punishment. The systematic analysis of general provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure gives reasons to be sure that the term of a pre-trial investigation of a criminal offense should not be unlimited and should not exceed the term of a pre-trial investigation of criminal offences. Based on the analysis of case law, this article proposes to address the issue of amending Article 219 of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the terms of a pre-trial investigation to extent the terms to six months prior to the date of serving a person with a notice of suspicion of committing a crime. The author proves that such term is necessary and sufficient for performing procedural actions and making procedural decisions. The article also gives examples of the defense’s response to evidence obtained by the pre-trial investigation body exceeding the terms set for minor crimes. That is if the case files shows that the investigator/prosecutor conducted a pre-trial investigation for more than 12 months prior to the date of serving a person with a notice of suspicion without filling a motion to extend the time limit with the investigation judge, the defense may respond as follows: during the pre-trial investigation – to fill a motion to close a criminal proceeding in accordance with clause 9, Article 284 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine; during the preparatory court hearing – to fill a motion to close a criminal proceeding in accordance with sub-clause 10, clause 1, Article 284 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine; during the consideration of a case on merits – to fill a motion to recognize evidence as obviously inadmissible in accordance with clause 2, Article 89 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine. It is noted that such legislative changes and ways for defense’s response ensure that the pre-trial authorities comply with the principles of criminal proceeding within a reasonable time.
On the concept and content of the prosecutor’s legal claims in the administrative delict aspect
Authors: Volochii S.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the essence of the concept and content of the prosecutor’s legitimate demands in the administrative delict aspect. The author emphasizes that the prosecutor’s legitimate demands are an important guarantee of ensuring law and order in Ukraine. They contribute to the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, and the interests of society and the State. However, referring to a specific provision, it is almost impossible to define the concept and nature of such requirements. It is stated that the legal requirements of the prosecutor relate to: maintaining public prosecution in court; representation of the interests of a citizen or the State in court; supervision over the observance of laws by the bodies conducting operational and investigative activities, inquiry, pre-trial investigation; supervision over the observance of laws in the execution of court decisions in criminal cases, as well as in the application of other coercive measures related to the restriction of personal freedom of citizens. It is proposed to understand a request as a certain appeal (letter, notification) drawn up in an arbitrary written form, submitted or sent by an authorized entity to the addressee. The peculiarities of the prosecutor’s legal claims include the following: 1) regulated by the provisions of various laws; 2) implemented by the prosecutor within various types of proceedings/procedures; 3) official in nature; 4) mostly made in writing; 5) binding in nature; 6) failure to comply entails liability for the subject (addressee); 7) issuing requirements beyond the scope of authority entails liability for the prosecutor as provided by law. The author concludes that the effective and professional exercise by a prosecutor of his/her powers, including the right to make legal demands, depends not only on his/her compliance with the rules of procedural law, but also on the quality of the rules themselves. The problem may be solved by directing further scientific research to amendments and additions to the current legislation with regard to specifying the essence of the prosecutor’s legal claims.
Robotes-judges: «Transfer of weight (the symbol of court) from the hands of traders to the hands of an angel» or high technology in the future of the legal profession?
Authors: Mudrytska K.
Published: October 2023

Today’s realities are such that judges in Ukraine have become much more distant from the people and are perceived by the population as part of the state apparatus, making decisions on the basis of “telephone law”, and not as an independent judicial branch of government.

Ordinary citizens, investors and entrepreneurs must be sure of the complete objectivity and impartiality of the judicial system without the possibility of arbitrariness of officials in it, therefore more and more supporters of the complete transition to an automated (robotic) judicial system appear.

However, along with this, there are opponents of the use of artificial intelligence in the judicial process. Thus, one party believes that the future and the legal profession will soon die out due to high technologies, others distrust any computerization of the judicial process.

Certain judicial bodies of different countries - France, the USA, China, Great Britain - already use artificial intelligence to help the judge in certain circumstances - for example, to prepare procedural documents, check the correctness of filling in the details of the parties and selection of court practice.

However, as in other countries, in Ukraine they are working on the digitization of the maximum space in the field of justice. Currently, applications are submitted electronically using the “Electronic Court” system, remote participation in the meeting, as well as their audio and video recording.

Of course, it is impossible to stop the development of technologies, including in the judiciary. Therefore, when there are hypothetical moments in the future that the functional capabilities of artificial intelligence will exceed the capabilities of judges, prosecutors and lawyers, then quite relevant questions arise in view of the probability of the onset of a “legal singularity”.

In addition, there are still many unresolved issues, such as the issue of remote certification of evidence, legal and ethical barriers, and enforcement of the decision.

Thus, in such a world, the law will move into a state of equilibrium between facts and norms. This threatens the death of the system of legal argumentation, which currently forms the basis of judicial evidence.
Court precedent as an international legal standard for the protection of personal rights, freedoms and interests
Authors: Ostafiichuk L.
Published: October 2023

The article considers the issue of establishing a judicial precedent as an international legal standard for the protection of rights, freedoms and interests of a person.

The concept of «personal rights» is proposed to be understood as a set of human rights and citizen’s rights and the basis of the construction of «personal rights» should be considered to be respect for human dignity which is the source of the rights and freedoms of a person.

It has been found that the law and the state are the primary system of minimum means and guarantees of observance of human and citizen rights which can be used in the interests of the formation and development of the individual. At the same time the law acts as a means of ensuring the freedom of the individual as well as a means of reasonable and fair restriction of those who are not aligned with social needs and people’s ideas about the good and justice of the level of freedom and the scope of power.

It has been proven that the international legal standards of the rights, freedoms and interests of a person are generally recognized provisions of international acts of a mandatory and recommendatory nature, as well as the principles of international law that establish the fundamental rights of a person. The content of the influence of international law on national law is that the basis of their interaction is determined primarily by constitutional means, since most state constitutions contain a significant number of provisions on basic human rights, which are defined by international acts. In addition, national legislation is subject not only to the provisions of international acts, but also to international courts and institutions whose main mission is to protect human rights, freedoms and interests.

It was concluded that with the emergence of universal rights, freedoms and interests of the individual and related international systems of their protection, a new fundamental law is formed, which is based on judicial practice, which has its own rules of adoption and standards of application of court decisions, and court precedent is considered as international legal standard for the protection of the rights, freedoms and interests of a person.

Published: October 2023

The article examines the norms of international law regarding the prevention of crimes of genocide committed by the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine. The essence and specifics of ensuring the implementation of current provisions and norms of international criminal law regarding criminal prosecution for the commission of crimes of genocide against Russia as an aggressor state, a sponsor of terrorism, its top political and military leadership and the military, who directly commit these crimes in the beginning of February 24, 2022, were considered. full-scale war against Ukraine. It is established that the crimes of genocide are crimes against the security of humanity committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, any national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such by: a) killing members of such a group; b) causing serious bodily injury or mental disorder to members of such a group; c) deliberate creation of living conditions for such a group, designed to bring it to its complete or partial physical destruction; d) implementation of measures aimed at preventing childbirth within such a group; e) forcible transfer of children of this group to another group. The scientific developments and provisions of the current legal norms of the International Convention on the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide and its Punishment, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, as well as the criminal law of Ukraine were studied with the aim of the need for the immediate ratification by the Parliament of Ukraine of the legal norms of the International Criminal Court and their implementation into the criminal legislation of Ukraine and Law of Ukraine “On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges” in English”.

The author formulated reasonable proposals for improving the criminal legislation of Ukraine in accordance with the norms of international criminal law, as well as the criminal prosecution and punishment of the highest political and military leadership and the military of the Russian Federation, who directly commit crimes of genocide in the war against Ukraine.
Candidate status for membership in the European Union and Ukraine`s obligations
Authors: Dir I.
Published: October 2023

The article summarizes the analysis of bilateral relations between Ukraine and the European Union, which were initiated when Ukraine received the status of a candidate for the EU membership. Candidate status was found to be the first official step before the negotiation process begins. In addition, it was determined that seven states currently have the status of a candidate state for accession. Thus, the first state to receive this status 24 years ago was Turkey, and the last after Ukraine got it Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was also determined that, on average, 8.4 years pass from the moment a state receives the status of a candidate for joining the European Union. Cyprus and Malta waited the longest for official accession, and Finland the least. It was analysed that the European Commission recommended granting Ukraine the candidate status on the condition that the following steps, better known as the seven recommendations of the European Commission, will be implemented, and the implementation of which will contribute to the start of the negotiation process, among which: continue the procedure of reforming the legislation related to the selection of judges to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine; to complete the selection procedure of candidates for the members of the High Council of Justice; continue the fight against corruption; bring anti-money laundering legislation into line with the standards of the Financial Action Task Force; fully implement the anti- oligarchic law; adopt the law on mass media; to reform legislation that concerns national minorities. In addition, it was found that the institutions responsible for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union conducted the first stage of the process of checking Ukraine’s domestic legislation for compliance with the EU acquis to formulate inconsistencies in legislative acts that need to be eliminated before the start of the negotiation process. It was also revealed which legislative acts have already been partially or fully implemented into the legislation of Ukraine. Next steps regarding further obligations of Ukraine were also analysed.
Deoccupation and reintegration of Crimea: the influence of human rights protection non-governmental organizations
Authors: Shcherbanyuk O. , Sinkevich O.
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the problems associated with the continuous military occupation of Crimea, which leads to serious changes, including to the decline of human rights. The state has long faced the task of liberating the occupied Crimea and returning it to Ukraine. It is argued that the de-occupation and reintegration of Crimea contains a number of problems that need to be dealt with, including problems of a legal nature. Non-governmental human rights organizations (hereinafter referred to as human rights NGOs) come to the aid of the state in this matter. Unfortunately, scientists do not pay much attention to the influence of human rights NGOs on the process of deoccupation and reintegration of Crimea. However, taking into account the public demand for the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the actions of the power structures aimed at the liberation of Crimea from the Russian invaders, it is necessary to consider the contribution of human rights NGOs to the liberation of the Crimean peninsula.

It was concluded that human rights non-governmental organizations exert a decisive influence on the level of the state of Ukraine in matters of human rights protection, de-occupation and further reintegration of the temporarily occupied Crimea. They carry out international advocacy, document war crimes and crimes against humanity, monitor human rights in Crimea and support and protect victims of repression. However, the normative regulation of the influence of human rights NGOs has not been resolved at the moment, in connection with which we propose to supplement Art. 5 of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens and the Legal Regime in the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine” by the following clause: temporarily occupied territories to persons. Organizations have the right to document crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in temporarily occupied territories and cooperate with state authorities on the basis of partnership.”
Somatic rights: protection of the physical sphere of human dignity and autonomy
Authors: Bysaha Yu.
Published: October 2023

It is certain that today in a world that is constantly changing and developing, issues of somatic rights are becoming more and more relevant and important. With the development of the Internet and social networks, the threat of cyberbullying and technological violence, which can violate the somatic rights of individuals, has increased. This becomes an urgent problem that needs to be addressed and dealt with.

It has been established that somatic rights are one of the most important rights of a person that relate to his physical body and health. These rights recognize inviolability, privacy and control over one’s own body. They are fundamental for the dignified and free life of every person and are protected by law and international conventions.

It is emphasized that reproductive health is not limited to the ability to have children. It also includes ensuring physical, psychological and social well-being in the field of reproduction. Inadequate access to reproductive services can lead to serious health problems that affect a person’s overall health and quality of life. Ensuring equal opportunities for women and men in terms of reproductive health is an important aspect of gender equality. Access to reproductive services should be provided regardless of gender, ethnicity, social status, etc. This helps to take into account the individual needs and rights of each person.

In summary, somatic rights are important for ensuring the physical and psychological well-being of every person.
