Published: August 2023

Dinas Pariwisata Sleman terus berbenah dan mengembangkan didalam membuat Desa Wisata menjadi bagian dari daya tarik unggulan dengan mengusung konsep pariwisata berkelanjutan. Desa Ekowisata Pancoh menjadi desa yang termasuk didalam kategori desa mandiri pada tahun 2022. Kegiatan pariwisata yang berbasis masyarakat (PBM) ini yang akan menjadi penyangga kedepannya bagi kemandirian sebuah desa. Setelah Pandemi, jumlah kunjungan wisatawan lokal maupun mancanegara ke Desa Ekowisata Pancoh mulai menunjukkan peningkatan. Untuk menunjang kenyamanan wisatawan mancanegara, diperlukan adanya kegiatan pengarahan dan penyuluhan mengenai pentingnya layanan bagi wisatawan mancanegara dalam penggunaan bahasa Inggris lisan maupun tulisan disekitar area Desa Wisata. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah deskriptif mix method yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan secara faktual pendekatan elemen-elemen sosial budaya termasuk bahasa pada pengembangan Desa Ekowisata Pancoh. Data yang diperoleh peneliti berasal dari pengisian lembar kuesioner yang disebarkan pada pengelola dan penduduk Desa Ekowisata Pancoh. Untuk data kualitatif didapat melalui wawancara dengan pengelola dan observasi langsung di desa tersebut. Hasil yang diperoleh dari pengisian kuesioner terkait kemampuan berbahasa Inggris masyarakat yaitu: masyarakat yang Sangat Tidak Setuju sebesar 20%, Tidak Setuju 46%, Setuju 26%, Sangat Setuju 8%. Sampel data didapatkan dari 50 informan dengan melibatkan pengelola dan masyarakat area Desa Ekowisata Pancoh dengan rentang usia sekitar 20 hingga 60 tahun. Data yang dihasilkan menunjukkan tingkat kecakapan Bahasa Inggris masyarakat masih tergolong kurang, terlebih pada bidang kosakata, ungkapan sehari-hari serta kemampuan menjelaskan. Sedangkan hasil wawancara dan observasi menunjukkan bentuk partisipasi aktif masyarakat dalam pengembangan desa seperti gotong royong dan kerjasama antar warga sudah cukup baik, terutama dalam hal pengembangan sarana prasarana dan pelayanan terhadap wisatawan. Namun dalam hal menyumbangkan ide inovatif, evaluasi serta pengambilan keputusan masih perlu ditingkatkan demi terlaksananya konsep pariwisata berkelanjutan.
The Network between Heart and Liver from the View of Persian Medicine Versus Conventional Medicine
Authors: Zarei Azadeh , Karimi Mehrdad , Rezaeizadeh Hossein
Published: August 2023

Background: Liver and Heart are two important organs in the human body, whose function strongly affects other organs. On the other hand, these two main organs affect each other due to common metabolic pathways. Therefore, a disorder in any of them can lead to disease in other organs. Today, using the network medicine perspective, these complex connections can be easily mapped and discovered. From the Persian medicine viewpoint, links are formed based on the material causes of diseases, while from the conventional medicine viewpoint, they are mostly formed due to metabolites, genes, and pathways. Materials and methods: In this article, we first investigated the recent articles of conventional medicine that examine the relationship between Heart and Liver in the important databases. Then we checked out the sources of Persian medicine and finally, using the RStudio software used in network medicine for text mining, we drew the communication network centered on Heart and liver and their mutual causes from the perspective of Persian Medicine. Results: Examining the network connection between the heart and the liver showed that the definitions based on Persian medicine, which are based on the material causes of diseases, are very compatible with the genes, metabolites and pathways between these two organs. Conclusion: understanding these concepts can be helpful in detecting the co-occurrence of diseases of these two organs, as well as predicting the possible occurrence of related diseases between the heart and liver, and ultimately in better treatment.[GMJ.2023;12:e2557]

Researchers and clinicians need to be aware of procedures that are more adaptable to new and different environments in premature infants; therefore, it is important to conduct a comprehensive review of the effect of aromatherapy on apnea attacks and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in premature newborns. In this review, databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched without language and time limitations up to November 1, 2022. Initially, 153 studies were founded, and after duplicate removal, title as well as full-text review, seven studies were enrolled in the final analysis. Studies indicated that aromatherapy with Rosa damascena, vanilla, and breast milk odors could significantly reduce apneas in preterm infants and improve SpO2 levels. Hence, aromatherapy could consider as an effective adjuvant treatment for the reduction of apnea attacks among preterm infants.
Who Counts as ‘None’?
Authors: Quack Johannes , Schulz Mascha
Published: August 2023

People in South Asia who neither believe in god(s) nor engage in religious practices nevertheless often self-identify as Muslims or Hindus rather than—or in addition to—identifying as atheists. The situational and contextual dynamics generating such positionings have implications for the conceptualization of nonreligion and secular lives. Based on ethnographic research in India and Bangladesh and focusing on two individuals, we attend to embodied and more ambivalent modes of nonreligiosity. This enables us to understand nonreligion as situated social practices and beyond what is typically captured with the term ‘religion’. Studying nonreligion also where it is not visible as articulated conviction or identity not only contributes to accounting for the diversity of nonreligious configurations but also offers significant complementary insights.
The ‘Ideal’ Atheist
Authors: Binder Stefan
Published: August 2023

Drawing on theories of moral exemplarism and ethnographic research with an atheist movement in South India, this article explores how narratives of idealism and the Telugu concept of ‘ādarśam.’ signal a distinct register of moral experience. By foregrounding the role of concrete interpersonal and affective relationships, the article complicates methodological approaches to the ethics of nonreligion that concentrate on forms of moral reasoning based on semiotic or ontological distinctions between religion and nonreligion. Rather than positing idealism as an intrinsic attribute of nonreligion, the article investigates ethnographically how atheist activists draw on different moral registers and ambivalent investments in the making and policing of boundaries between religion and nonreligion for making moral judgments and working out what it means to lead an idealist life.
Feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic transorbital optic canal decompression for meningiomas causing compressive optic neuropathy
Authors: Kim Jeong-Hwa , Hong Chang-Ki , Shin Hyung-Jin , Kong Doo-Sik
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

The endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) and transorbital anterior clinoidectomy have been suggested as novel procedures through which to reach the superolateral compartments of the orbit, allowing optic canal decompression. However, there is limited literature describing the technical details and surgical outcomes of these procedures. In this study, the authors aimed to analyze the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic transorbital decompression of the optic canal through anterior clinoidectomy for compressive optic neuropathic lesions.

METHODS

Between 2016 and 2022, the authors performed ETOA for compressive optic neuropathic lesions in 14 patients. All these patients underwent transorbital anterior clinoidectomy through the surgically defined “intraorbital clinoidal triangle,” which is composed of the roof of the superior orbital fissure, the medial margin of the optic canal, the medial border of the superior orbital fissure, and the optic strut. Demographic data, tumor characteristics, pre- and postoperative imaging, pre- and postoperative visual examinations, and surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS

The mean age at the time of ETOA was 53.3 years (range 41–64 years), and the mean follow-up was 16.8 months (range 6.7–51.4 months). The inclusion criterion in this study was having a meningioma (14 patients). In the preoperative visual function examination, 7 patients with a meningioma showed progressive visual impairment. After endoscopic transorbital optic canal decompression, visual function improved in 5 patients, remained unchanged in 8 patients, and worsened in 1 patient. No new-onset neurological deficit was associated with ETOA and anterior clinoidectomy in any patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Endoscopic transorbital decompression of the optic canal with extradural anterior clinoidectomy is a safe and feasible technique that avoids significant injury to the clinoidal internal carotid artery and surrounding neurovascular structures.
DEPOSIT OPERATIONS AS THE BASIS OF SUCCESSFUL BANKING: THEORETICAL ASPECT, REALITIES AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors: LARIONOVA Katerina , GORDEEVA Tetyana
Published: August 2023

The paper considers the peculiarities of Ukraine’s deposit market functioning in 2020–2023 under the influence of force majeure factors. The current state of the respective market was analysed in terms of types of deposits by duration, namely fixed and demand, by types of currencies in which funds are placed on deposits, by ranges of the size of the deposits themselves, etc. Approaches to the interpretation of the “deposit operation” concept were systematized. Having analysed the definitions it is possible to define a “deposit operation” as an operation involving the deposit institution’s attraction of funds (in national or foreign currency, in cash or non-cash form) or bank metals of depositors to deposit bank accounts under the terms of the concluded agreement and following the current legislation of Ukraine. A comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of the deposit portfolio of the banking system was carried out. The dynamics of deposits of individuals in the banking system of Ukraine were analysed. The dynamics of interest rates on deposit deposits in terms of subjects, currencies and duration are highlighted. The increase in deposit rates contributed to the recovery of the growth of fixed deposits of individuals which volume increased for the first time since the beginning of the war. The permission of the National Bank to buy foreign currency to open fixed currency deposits contributed to their growth in dollar equivalent. The peculiarities of the activity of the Deposit Guarantee Fund in Ukraine during the period of martial law were identified, and the impact on the level of public trust in banks was investigated. The obtained results of the conducted research made it possible to determine the main trends in the development of the deposit market of Ukraine and to outline proposals for improving the deposit policy of Ukrainian banks.

Antibody-Mediated Clearance of Brain Amyloid-β: Mechanisms of Action, Effects of Natural and Monoclonal Anti-Aβ Antibodies, and Downstream Effects
Authors: Loeffler David A.
Published: August 2023

Immunotherapeutic efforts to slow the clinical progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by lowering brain amyloid-β (Aβ) have included Aβ vaccination, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products, and anti-Aβ monoclonal antibodies. Neither Aβ vaccination nor IVIG slowed disease progression. Despite conflicting phase III results, the monoclonal antibody Aducanumab received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treatment of AD in June 2021. The only treatments unequivocally demonstrated to slow AD progression to date are the monoclonal antibodies Lecanemab and Donanemab. Lecanemab received FDA approval in January 2023 based on phase II results showing lowering of PET-detectable Aβ; phase III results released at that time indicated slowing of disease progression. Topline results released in May 2023 for Donanemab’s phase III trial revealed that primary and secondary end points had been met. Antibody binding to Aβ facilitates its clearance from the brain via multiple mechanisms including promoting its microglial phagocytosis, activating complement, dissolving fibrillar Aβ, and binding of antibody-Aβ complexes to blood-brain barrier receptors. Antibody binding to Aβ in peripheral blood may also promote cerebral efflux of Aβ by a peripheral sink mechanism. According to the amyloid hypothesis, for Aβ targeting to slow AD progression, it must decrease downstream neuropathological processes including tau aggregation and phosphorylation and (possibly) inflammation and oxidative stress. This review discusses antibody-mediated mechanisms of Aβ clearance, findings in AD trials involving Aβ vaccination, IVIG, and anti-Aβ monoclonal antibodies, downstream effects reported in those trials, and approaches which might improve the Aβ-clearing ability of monoclonal antibodies.

Published: August 2023

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that adult vaccinations can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias. Objective: To compare the risk for developing AD between adults with and without prior vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria, with or without pertussis (Tdap/Td); herpes zoster (HZ); or pneumococcus. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using Optum’s de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database. Included patients were free of dementia during a 2-year look-back period and were≥65 years old by the start of the 8-year follow-up period. We compared two similar cohorts identified using propensity score matching (PSM), one vaccinated and another unvaccinated, with Tdap/Td, HZ, or pneumococcal vaccines. We calculated the relative risk (RR) and absolute risk reduction (ARR) for developing AD. Results: For the Tdap/Td vaccine, 7.2% (n = 8,370) of vaccinated patients and 10.2% (n = 11,857) of unvaccinated patients developed AD during follow-up; the RR was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.68–0.72) and ARR was 0.03 (95% CI, 0.02–0.03). For the HZ vaccine, 8.1% (n = 16,106) of vaccinated patients and 10.7% (n = 21,417) of unvaccinated patients developed AD during follow-up; the RR was 0.75 (95% CI, 0.73–0.76) and ARR was 0.02 (95% CI, 0.02–0.02). For the pneumococcal vaccine, 7.92% (n = 20,583) of vaccinated patients and 10.9% (n = 28,558) of unvaccinated patients developed AD during follow-up; the RR was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.71–0.74) and ARR was 0.02 (95% CI, 0.02–0.03). Conclusion: Several vaccinations, including Tdap/Td, HZ, and pneumococcal, are associated with a reduced risk for developing AD.

Background: Sleep disruption in elderly has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and its transition into Alzheimer’s disease (AD). High arousal indices (AIs) during sleep may serve as an early-stage biomarker of cognitive impairment non-dementia (CIND). Objective: Using full-night polysomnography (PSG), we investigated whether CIND is related to different AIs between NREM and REM sleep stages. Methods: Fourteen older adults voluntarily participated in this population-based study that included Mini-Mental State Examination, Neuropsi battery, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and single-night PSG. Subjects were divided into two groups (n = 7 each) according to their results in Neuropsi memory and attention subtests: cognitively unimpaired (CU), with normal results; and CIND, with –2.5 standard deviations in memory and/or attention subtests. AIs per hour of sleep during N1, N2, N3, and REM stages were obtained and correlated with Neuropsi total score (NTS). Results: AI (REM)  was significantly higher in CU group than in CIND group. For the total sample, a positive correlation between AI (REM)  and NTS was found (r = 0.68, p = 0.006), which remained significant when controlling for the effect of age and education. In CIND group, the AI (N2)  was significantly higher than the AI (REM) . Conclusion: In CIND older adults, this attenuation of normal arousal mechanisms in REM sleep are dissociated from the relative excess of arousals observed in stage N2. We propose as probable etiology an early hypoactivity at the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system, associated to its early pathological damage, present in the AD continuum.

Introduction: Cardiometabolic risk factors and epigenetic patterns, increased in physically inactive individuals, are associated with an accelerated brain aging process. Objective: To determine whether cardiometabolic risk factors and epigenetic patterns mediate the association of physical inactivity with unfavorable brain morphology. Methods: We included dementia and stroke free participants from the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation and Offspring cohorts who had accelerometery and brain MRI data (n = 2,507, 53.9% women, mean age 53.9 years). We examined mediation by the 2017-revised Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP, using weights for age, cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes and smoking status, antihypertension medications, and systolic blood pressure) and the homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in models of the association of physical inactivity with brain aging, adjusting for age, age-squared, sex, accelerometer wear time, cohort, time from exam-to-MRI, and season. We similarly assessed mediation by an epigenetic age-prediction algorithm, GrimAge, in a smaller sample of participants who had DNA methylation data (n = 1,418). Results: FSRP and HOMA-IR explained 8.3–20.5% of associations of higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), higher steps, and lower sedentary time with higher brain volume. Additionally, FSRP and GrimAge explained 10.3–22.0% of associations of physical inactivity with lower white matter diffusivity and FSRP explained 19.7% of the association of MVPA with lower free water accumulation. Conclusion: Our results suggest that cardiometabolic risk factors and epigenetic patterns partially mediate the associations of physical inactivity with lower brain volume, higher white matter diffusivity, and aggregation of free water in the extracellular compartments of the brain.

Published: August 2023

Assembly flow shop scheduling problem (AFSP) in a single factory has attracted widespread attention over the past decades; however, the distributed AFSP with DPm → 1 layout considering uncertainty is seldom investigated. In this study, a distributed assembly flow shop scheduling problem with fuzzy makespan minimization (FDAFSP) is considered, and an efficient artificial bee colony algorithm (EABC) is proposed. In EABC, an adaptive population division method based on evolutionary quality of subpopulation is presented; a competitive employed bee phase and a novel onlooker bee phase are constructed, in which diversified combinations of global search and multiple neighborhood search are executed; the historical optimization data set and a new scout bee phase are adopted. The proposed EABC is verified on 50 instances from the literature and compared with some state-of-the-art algorithms. Computational results demonstrate that EABC performs better than the comparative algorithms on over 74% instances.
Disease classification using neighbourhood centroid opposition based multi-objective flamingo search algorithm based feature selection approach
Authors: Durgam Revathi , Devarakonda Nagaraju
Published: August 2023

In machine learning, a crucial task is feature selection in that the computational cost will be increased exponentially with increases in problem complexity. To reduce the dimensionality of medical datasets and reduce the computational cost, multi-objective optimization approaches are mainly utilized by researchers. Similarly, for improving the population diversity of the Flamingo Search Algorithm, the neighbourhood centroid opposition-based learning mutation is employed. In this paper, to improve the classification accuracy, enhance their exploration capability in the search space and reduce the computational cost while increasing the size of dataset, neighbourhood centroid opposition-based learning (NCOBL) is integrated into the multi-objective optimization based Flamingo Search Algorithm (MOFSA). The optimal selected datasets are classified by using the weighted K-Nearest Neighbour classifier. With the use of fifteen benchmark medical datasets, the efficacy of the suggested strategy is assessed in terms of recall, precision, accuracy, running time, F-measure, hamming loss, ranking loss, standard deviation, mean value error, and size of the selected features. Then the performance of the suggested feature selection technique is compared to that of the existing approaches. The suggested method produced a minimum mean value, standard deviation, mean hamming loss, and maximum accuracy of about 99%. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested method may enhance classification accuracy and also eliminate redundancy in huge datasets.

Published: August 2023

In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly and made great contributions to the economic enhancement of various regions; While tourism environment carrying ability assessment is the key to tourism sustainable development. The randomness and fuzziness of the traditional multi-level fuzzy comprehensive tourism environmental carrying ability assessment model cannot be combined effectively. In view of this, to construct a reasonable and objective assessment model, this study improves the multi-level fuzzy comprehensive tourism environmental carrying ability assessment model based on cloud model. The results indicate that the unimproved model judges that this tourism environment carrying ability level corresponds to level 2 for selecting tourism destination. And it is in a suitable load state. The evaluation results on the foundation of cloud model improved multi-level fuzzy comprehensive tourism environmental carrying ability assessment show that its Ex is 5.748, En is 1,296 and He is 0.1, which is between moderate to slightly overloaded, and the overall state is moderate, but there is a tendency to develop towards slightly overloaded. The evaluation results of the improved model are more intuitive in showing the carrying capacity of the tourism environment, and these evaluation results are more objective and reliable, which verifies the applicability of the research model. This research model provides a theoretical basis and data support for the study of tourism environment carrying capacity.
Economic System Rationality Entropy setting for Kenya by Fiscal Policy, Job Re-assignment and Job Creation: Human Capital-based Resilience Indexing against China
Authors: Kirika Stanley K.
Published: August 2023

A human capital driven economy is less vulnerable to catastrophic effects than a natural resource driven economy. In the face of black swan events like the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important for economies to re-examine their economic anchor to inform their recovery rate. This paper uses economic system rationality entropy to measure resilience by examining 13 country habitats for more than half – 4.063 billion of the world’s population. To this end, after working out the economic system entropies using the income consumption rationality function in Nats, the influence of the existing economic driver on the economic system entropy is established. Kirika’s rationality matrix is then proposed; leading to the Entropy-Gamma Rationality law. The results show that economic system entropy is not influenced by the economic driver; and that according to the Pareto principle, about 21% of any population is rational in income generation. Surprisingly, a whopping 68% - 74% are irrational income generators but rational consumers, while 5% - 11% of any population is irrational regarding both income generation and consumption – a fundamental policy guide from quantitative behavioural economics. A fiscal policy action recommendation in the short run that indexes Kenya’s cogni-economic pressure against China’s to reduce both the overall cogni-economic pressure and the economic system entropy through job creation and job re-assignment concludes.
Volunteering in Ukraine: historical and legal aspects
Authors: Holovko O. V.
Published: August 2023

The study is devoted to the analysis of modern volunteer activity in Ukraine in terms of the historical development of this social phenomenon and a retrospective of changes in the legislative framework for regulating volunteer activity. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that volunteer activity in modern Ukraine is, firstly, a fairly young phenomenon that emerged only after 1991 and is still insufficiently studied, and secondly, today the scale of involvement in various volunteer activities is more than 80 % among Ukrainian citizens, which also requires appropriate scientific analysis.

The state of academic research on the national volunteering development has been studied; the range of scientific discussions on various aspects of volunteering has been outlined; the terminological basis of the volunteering phenomenon has been clarified; the reasons for the development and implementation of Ukrainian laws on volunteering have been given; changes in legislation on this issue and their reasons have been analysed. The main stages of the volunteering development in Ukraine have been analysed, and significant events that influenced its development have been outlined.

The events of 2014–2023 related to the military aggression of the Russian Federation against independent Ukraine have given rise to the formation of a powerful element of civil society that is volunteerism. The uniqueness and difference of the Ukrainian volunteer movement from global practices is that the development of volunteer activity was far ahead of the process of developing a legislative framework that regulates this phenomenon. The formation of volunteering in Ukraine was driven by the initiative of citizens and required legislative formalisation of existing volunteer practices. The changes in the Ukrainian legislation on volunteering were caused by the ongoing military operations and the involvement of a significant number of Ukrainians in volunteer activities, as well as the expansion of the range of problems addressed by volunteer organisations.
Security environment of the state in the context of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine activities
Authors: Buhaichuk K. L.
Published: August 2023

The article investigates the essence of the “security environment” concept, which has recently been used to define the goals and areas of the security and defence sector of Ukraine, and also identifies its structural elements. The term “security environment” is a combination of two concepts – “security” and “environment”. “Security” means the state of protection of vital interests of an individual, society and the state from external and internal threats, and “environment” means a set of certain conditions in which an individual, society or state exists. The concept of “security environment” in Ukrainian legislation and in the national scientific literature is mainly used in the field of military security and defence review. The concept of “security environment” (in the context of the existence of a state or a set of states) should be applied when referring to the set of conditions and factors of its existence that provide such a state with protection from internal and external threats. Based on the analysis of the Ukrainian researchers’ publications, as well as the works of foreign scholars, the author identifies the main types of security environments depending on the characteristics of threats to such environments: external and internal. The external security environment is associated with the elimination of external threats and mostly concerns the military and foreign policy spheres. The internal security environment is formed by minimising internal threats, some of which fall within the direct responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

The correlation of the term “security environment” with related categories, in particular, “national security”, “state security”, “internal security” has been determined. The concept of “national security” actually describes the desired overall state of the security environment of a particular country, which affects the regional or global security environment. The state of national security is actually a characteristic of the overall security environment of the state.

It has been proved that the MIA of Ukraine is a subject of formation and development of the internal security environment of Ukraine. The security environment in the context of the MIA of Ukraine is a set of internal spheres of the country’s socio-political life in which the Ministry of Internal Affairs forms the State policy and exercises its powers as a security and defence sector entity with the aim of ensuring sustainable development of the State and protecting vital interests of a person and society.
Protection of personal data of the employee
Authors: Gusarov S. M. , Melnyk K. Yu.
Published: August 2023

The article draws attention to the fact that today, in the conditions of a developed information environment, the wide spread and use of various information technologies and systems, the maintenance of automated databases, on the one hand, significantly simplifies the provision and use of information, on the other hand, the risk of illegal interference in personal data increases and family life of a person and misuse of his personal data.

The entry into employment is preceded by the work of the employer’s personnel service on personnel selection, within which personal information is received from job applicants. The personnel service is also responsible for the collection, processing, storage and use of data about employees. Today, the use of various telecommunication systems and automated databases in this process increases the risks of disclosure of the employee’s personal information, which may cause him material or moral harm. So, modernity presents authorized state bodies and employers with the task of ensuring reliable protection of personal data of employees.

The article examines the views of scientists regarding the categories “human rights protection” and “employee personal data”. Problematic aspects of the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Protection of Personal Data” and the draft Law of Ukraine “On Labor” regarding the completeness of legal regulations on the protection of personal data of employees are outlined.

An author's definition of the terms “employee personal data” and “employee personal data protection” is proposed. Personal data of an employee is any information related to a specific natural person working on the basis of an employment contract, provided to the employer or collected by him in accordance with the law. The protection of personal data of an employee is the use of opportunities (tools) provided by law for the prevention of offenses in the field of collection, storage, use, destruction, dissemination of information related to a specific natural person working on the basis of an employment contract, termination of the specified offenses and renewal of violated rights in this area.

Proposals for improving national legislation in the field of protection of personal data of employees are provided. In particular, it is proposed to supplement the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine and the draft Law of Ukraine “On Labor” with a separate article “Protection of employee’s personal data”, which provides for the definition of the terms “employee’s personal data” and “employee’s personal data protection”; establish a list of information that is the employee’s personal data; establish the employer's obligation to protect the employee's personal data; establish disciplinary and material liability for employees performing work related to personal data processing for violation of personal data protection legislation, as well as material liability for employers for violation of personal data protection legislation.
Balancing globalisation process through Development Agenda: sustainable global justice

Published: August 2023

The prevailing assumption was that the phenomenon of globalisation would yield equitable benefits for all nations. Nevertheless, it has become evident that the benefits of globalisation norms are predominantly enjoyed by affluent nations. Although the concept of globalisation was initially intended to enhance the agency of developing nations, it has instead resulted in the erosion of their autonomy to independently determine their course of action. The democratic process has been impacted by the loss of decision-making power experienced by emerging countries as a consequence of globalisation. The rules governing globalisation were inequitably formulated to provide preferential treatment to developed nations. Contrary to prevailing popular opinion, the impact of globalisation on both developing and affluent nations has exhibited disparities. The questioning of norms governing globalisation has emerged as a consequence of the phenomenon of globalisation. This process further exacerbated the existing division between the global north and global south, leading to a heightened level of separation between these two regions. International financial institutions based in Washington disregarded the objections raised by developing nations and formulated a strategy aimed at mitigating the disparity in wealth. The ideology of privatisation and the free market is commonly referred to as the Washington consensus. The concept of state non-intervention proved to be disappointing as it primarily served the interests of the international organisations involved, thereby failing to benefit other stakeholders. Hence, it is imperative to formulate a development strategy that encompasses principles of equity, justice, and long-term sustainability. The existing understanding of sustainable development and the approach to attaining justice through sustainability necessitate a reevaluation in order to accomplish similar objectives. The authors of this research endeavor to investigate the extent to which the current development agenda is sufficiently comprehensive to address the shortcomings of past attempts to reconcile globalisation with development. This study aims to examine the response of the global community to the phenomenon of globalisation through the implementation of the Development Agenda. This paper examines the influence of globalisation on the policy-making processes of developing nations. Finally, the authors proceed to analyse the concepts of justice, growth, and sustainability.

Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to a scientific and theoretical study of the principles of administrative legal proceedings in the updated conditions of the Ukrainian State development, based on the needs for high-quality provision and implementation of legal rights, freedoms and interests of individuals and legal entities in the field of public law relations. It has been established that the principles of administrative proceedings at the current stage of development of administrative procedural law should be understood as the basic, initial rules which are stipulated by the provisions of national legislation, as well as generally accepted provisions of international law and standards of administration of justice, and which determine the organisational and functional (procedural) conditions for the administration of justice in administrative cases, and which are reflected and enshrined in the relevant provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. It has been noted that by their functional purpose, the principles of administrative justice form a stable basis for the functioning of the mechanism of administrative and procedural regulation.

Based on the analysis of the existing scientific developments on this issue, the author supports and further develops the scientific position on determining the characteristic features inherent in the principles of administrative justice in the modern context, namely a) each principle is based on a certain idea, determined by the socio-legal and ideological values of public life, the state and law at this stage of development and functioning; b) the principles have an external expression, i.e. they are textually concentrated in the norms of administrative procedure legislation and reflect the content, essence and internal structure of administrative proceedings, the entire process of the dynamics of its implementation; c) the principles perform a safeguarding function, as they contribute to the main task of administrative proceedings to ensure the proper level of exercise and protection of individuals and legal entities of their rights, freedoms and legitimate interests from violations by public authorities; d) each principle should be logical and scientifically grounded, internally balanced, aimed at ensuring the orderly administration of justice in administrative cases, while not repeating the content of other principles of administrative justice and not contradicting each other.
Investigation of criminal offences against property: typical investigative situations and problems of applying specialised knowledge

Published: August 2023

During the period of the martial law regime, the legal system of Ukraine has undergone certain changes, as well as quantitative and qualitative indicators of crime. This has led to the fact that some criminal offences have become a significant part of the crime structure and have therefore become the focus of professional attention of law enforcement agencies. These include, inter alia, criminal offences against property, including theft, robbery, assault, extortion, fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or misappropriation of property through abuse of office, and more. This has highlighted the need to ensure effective counteraction to such criminal offences.

It has been substantiated that the basis of any forensic methodology for investigating a particular type or group of criminal offences is the proposed algorithms for solving tactical tasks of the initial stage of investigation in typical investigative situations, as well as the specifics of conducting the most relevant procedural actions and forms of using special knowledge for the relevant type or group of criminal offences.

Typical investigative situations of the initial stage of investigation of criminal offences against property have been analysed. It has been established that the grounds for classification of investigative situations at the initial stage of investigation of criminal offences against property may be as follows: 1) availability and completeness of information about the person who committed the criminal offence; 2) prospects for using the factor of surprise in the conditions prevailing at the time of the beginning of the pre-trial investigation; 3) completeness of the available information about the criminal offence event. It has been noted that such an approach does not exclude the possibility of using other criteria, which in some cases may be of auxiliary importance in the construction of methodological and forensic recommendations.

Based on the study of criminal proceedings, typical forensic examinations which are appointed in the course of investigation of criminal offences against property have been identified. It has been established that these include commodity, trace, fingerprint, portrait, molecular genetic, video and sound recording examinations. It has been identified the problematic issues arising in the course of their appointment, and recommendations have been formulated to eliminate the latter and improve the efficiency of implementation of this procedural form of use of special knowledge.
Application of specialised knowledge in proceedings concerning defence land
Authors: Shulzhenko A. V.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of proceedings relating to defence land. Such proceedings are connected with the return of illegal use of state-owned land in accordance with its intended purpose. Based on a study of the Unified State Register of Court Decisions, it has been established that at least five lawsuits per region are filed annually by municipal maintenance departments representing the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine with commercial courts. As a result of the resolution of court disputes in this regard, only one third of the claims are satisfied. The reasons for this state of affairs have been analysed.

Attention is drawn to the claims, which differ in each case, despite similar situations of land misappropriation. The author also focuses on the evidence used in the process of proof in this category of cases. The author analyses the main issues that are resolved in the course of commercial litigation.

The article describes forensic examinations which are often appointed in proceedings on defence land. The author provides a substantive analysis of these examinations. The author formulates the main problems which arise during the appointment and conduct of forensic examinations, including unjustified rejection of applications for the appointment of examinations, and use of legal expertise conclusions.

The study of this category of land disputes has revealed that such disputes are most often resolved in commercial proceedings. Among the expert examinations, plaintiffs most often refer to the following: land technical, land valuation, expert examination to determine the compliance of the documentation on the valuation of a land plot or rights to it with the requirements of regulatory legal acts on property valuation, and expert examination on land management. The findings are of interest to commercial law practitioners representing the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in order to improve their professional activities.

Nós estudamos a epidemiologia da contaminação dos circuitos dos respiradores a fim de verificar a necessidade de trocas mais freqüentes do circuito e as possíveis fontes de infecção nesses pacientes. Pacientes requerendo ventilação mecânica contínua foram estudados. Amostras foram cultivadas do tubo do respirador, paciente e solução antisséptica. Nós não fomos capazes de mostrar qualquer contaminação do tubo por outras bactérias, exceto aquelas isoladas também dos pacientes. Nossas observações sugerem que o tubo traqueal do ventilador deve ser trocado a cada 48 horas.
