Aim/purpose – This paper aims to introduce and describe a new paradigm (model) of evolutionary dynamism of family business potential in the succession process and its empirical simulation in family enterprises from culturally close “post-socialistic” coun- tries: the Czech Republic and Poland. Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual basis for developing the evolutionary model of family business was our research on the sample of 235 small and medium-sized family enterprises from the Czech Republic and Poland. A practical experimental simu- lation of the model was carried out in 12 Czech and 19 Polish family companies. Findings – The proposed model is based on economic and natural laws, including opti- mization proportions of the golden ratio, laws of time economics, theory of innovation, and “Moore’s law.” This model allows us to simulate and analyze the pace of accelerat- ing innovation cycles and the dynamism of intergenerational changes of family business potential in the succession process. Research implications/limitations – The social and industrial revolution 5.0 is getting near and global economic, social, cultural, ecological, and other contemporary turbu- lences, built on the “microcosm optimization” of living matter, having two extreme marginal variants for the subsequent (evolutionary) development of family business: (a) an option of “harmony” or (b) an option of “tragedy.” One limitation of the model is its general nature, making it sensitive to outlier cases. Originality/value/contribution – The proposed model provides valuable analytical guidelines for family business succession and significantly highlights the role of intra- family dynamics in this process. It also represents a novel analytical approach to as- sessing and predicting the longevity of family business as well as an opportunity for the development of mixed research in family entrepreneurship.

Aim: To analyze the physico-chemical, nutritional and sensory properties of cookies substituted with banana peel powder from Karpuravalli (ABB), Monthan (ABB) and Nendran (AAB) varieties. Methodology: Matured banana bunches were harvested from ICAR - NRCB farm followed by separation of peel and pulp manually. The peels were cut into small pieces and soaked in 0.05% potassium metabisulfite for 15 min to prevent browning. They were dried in a hot air oven (55 ± 20C), and converted into powder using an attrition mill. The cookies were prepared according to the AACC (2000) method 10-54.01 with minor modifications. The developed cookies were analyzed for their physical, proximate chemical composition viz., moisture, colour, total carbohydrate, total starch, total sugar, fat, fiber, ash, protein, total phenols, flavonoids and minerals. Results: Addition of banana peel powder in the cookies significantly improved the nutritional properties by altering its fiber content from 1.02% to 2.98% and decreasing the fat content by 19.95 to 22.23%. It also decreased the hardness of the cookies. The sensory results revealed that the banana peel flour incorporated cookies also scored equal to that of control cookies. Interpretation: Banana peel has potential component for improving the nutritional characteristics of cookies and to make functional foods.

An analysis of gasdermin family of genes in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) with respect to malignancy status, mutation percentages and histologic diagnosis
Authors: BERKEL Caglar
Published: November 2023

Pyroptosis is a type of programmed lytic cell death mechanism associated
with the activation of inflammasomes and inflammatory caspases,
proteolytic cleavage of gasdermin proteins (GSDMA-E and PJVK), resulting
in the formation of pores in cellular membranes such as plasma membrane
and mitochondrial membranes. Here, I show that GSDMC expression was
increased, GSDME (DFNA5) and PJVK (DFNB59) expression were decreased in
uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) cells compared to normal
endometrial cells. Total percentage of patients affected by mutations in
gasdermin family of genes was the highest in UCEC compared to other
cancer types. The highest mutation percentage among the members of the
protein family was observed for GSDME which also showed the most
significant difference in the mRNA expression among other family members
between tumor and normal samples, possibly pointing to its relatively
higher importance in the pathogenesis of UCEC. Gasdermin family of genes
(except GSDMA) had higher transcript levels in serous endometrial
adenocarcinoma than in endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma,
demonstrating the histotype-dependent expression of the most of
gasdermin genes in UCEC. Transcript levels of certain gasdermin family
members also differed based on residual tumor status and histologic
tumor grade; however, the expression of any gasdermin genes did not
change depending on menopause status. This study suggests that a better
mechanistic understanding of pyroptotic cell death in uterine corpus
endometrial carcinoma might help identify novel therapeutic targets for
the management of this gynecological malignancy.

Authors: Cabrera Juan Sebastian , Tapias Carlos , Adams Christian D. , Hernandez Boris , Bautista William , Stozitzky Valentina , Restrepo Alejandro Jimenez , Saenz Luis Carlos
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a common
condition with frequently not tolerated beta-blockers or ivabradine and
a high rate of complication in ablation strategy; we describe an
alternative anatomical approach of sinus node modulation.
METHODOLOGY: This retrospective study describes a case series
of 6 patients from two centers diagnosed with symptomatic IST undergoing
sinus node ablation. RESULTS: The mean age was 40.6 ± 13.9
years; five of the six patients were female, 100% of patients reported
heart palpitations, and 66% reported dizziness, the average HR on a
24-h Holter was 93.2 ±7.9 bpm. HR during the first stage of a stress
test using a standard Bruce protocol was 150 ±70 bpm, The average HR on
24-hour Holter post-ablation was 75 ± 5.6 bpm, the sinus rate HR during
stage 1 of a Bruce protocol exercise stress test was 120 ± 10 bpm.
CONCLUSION: This is the first case series reporting the acute
and long-term results of a novel anatomical approach for SNM to treat
IST targeting the AR under ICE guidance, The novel anatomic ICE-guided
catheter ablation approach aimed to identify the earliest activation at
the AR with an extension of RF lesions towards its septal region seems
effective and safe to modulate the SN in symptomatic patients with IST
refractory to medical treatment.
The potential to reconstruct 20 th century soil organic carbon erosion in rangelands from small reservoir sediments
Authors: Li Lu , Krenz J , Pregler Anja , Greenwood Philip , Kuhn Nikolaus
Published: November 2023

Land use change-induced, accelerated soil erosion is a main driver of
soil organic carbon (SOC) loss. However, soil erosion and SOC loss are
not linked linearly because SOC-rich topsoil is eroded at the initial
stages of degradation while horizons with lower SOC content are eroded
later, but often at higher rates. To assess the contribution of soil
erosion to the changing global carbon cycle, it is essential to
understand how SOC changes when soil erosion accelerates. On cropland,
dynamic replacement of organic carbon (OC) limits the net loss of soil
OC stocks and causes a small, but steady flux of C from the atmosphere
to soil and onwards landscape sinks. Rangelands, on the other hand, may
loose their entire OC pool as a result of soil erosion because soils
loose their productivity quickly when affected by erosion, disabling the
replacement of SOC. Most rangelands have experienced erosion and
degradation during the 20 century, i.e. at the same
time when greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels also
increased. Distinguishing the contributions of rangeland land use change
from other sources is essential for understanding the human impact on
the global carbon cycle and climate during the 20
century. The use of small farm reservoirs has been widespread in the
South African Karoo during the last century. Many reservoirs have silted
up and thus potentially document the soil properties during the period
of sediment accumulation. This study tests the potential to reconstruct
20 century SOC and total nitrogen (TN) change in
rangeland soils. Five reservoir sediment profiles were sampled and
texture, total organic carbon (TOC), TN and Cs of
the samples were analysed and compared along the reservoir profiles. The
results show that with one exception the oldest sediments contain more
TOC and TN than the older ones. This indicates a loss of SOC and TN
early after the dams were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s. These
distinct changes also illustrate that the small reservoir sediments have
the potential to reconstruct the impact of land use, soil erosion and
associated SOC change in rangelands.
An Inception-Multi-Scale-Attention U-Net for Breast Lesions Segmentation in Ultrasound Images

Published: November 2023

The study of segmenting breast lesions from ultrasound images is crucial
to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we propose the
Inception-Multi-Scale-Attention U-Net (IMSA-Net) method to address the
challenges associated with breast cancer imaging artifacts, tumor
morphological alterations, and blurred borders. The IMSA-Net method
incorporates the inception module into the downsampling feature
extraction section of the U-Net model. This can extract advanced
features from the input image and enhance the model’s capability to
express complex features. Furthermore, during the feature fusion stage,
a multi-scale attention structure is introduced to focus on capturing
detailed information during the segmentation process. This enhancement
contributes to improving the precision of the segmentation results. To
enhance the algorithm’s non-linear factor and mitigate the gradient
disappearance problem during training, the Gaussian Error Linear Unit
(GELU) activation function is employed, replacing the traditional
Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function. This modification
allows for better feature representation and overall model performance.
The experimental results demonstrate that the IMSA-Net model’s
evaluation metrics of mIoU, Dice, Acc, Precision, and Recall on the
breast ultrasound images dataset reached 74.18%, 77.98%, 96.86%,
89.23%, and 66.68%, respectively. These results outperform those of
the U-Net model by 2.41%, 2.81%, 0.09%, 0.06%, and 2.82%. Overall,
the IMSA-Net method tackles the difficulties related to breast lesion
segmentation, assisting in subsequent breast disease diagnosis.
Folklore, Storytelling and Coping with the Internet on TikTok
Authors: Hewlett-Hall Joseph
Published: November 2023

Social media platforms such as TikTok are often regarded as constituting a fundamental shift in everyday modes of sociality; their immense scope, mysterious algorithms and darker subsections seem to pose a threat to ‘traditional’ forms of social communication. In downloading TikTok during an undergraduate degree in anthropology, however, and furthermore in conducting that degree during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have in fact found some of the most essential components of ‘traditional’ sociality, and thus the traditional subjects of anthropological inquiry (specifically folklore and storytelling), to have emerged in my interactions on the app. As I have studied anthropology during a global pandemic, so too have I learnt the varied social rules and collective norms of TikTok, which provided many with a sense of sociality which was lost during lockdowns, and in my involvement with the TikTok Ethnography Collective at Goldsmiths I have found new possibilities of conducting ethnographic fieldwork at a time when it seemed impossible. In this article, I draw on my experience of using TikTok whilst conducting my degree in order to highlight the richness of sociality which is present on the app and the ethnographic possibilities which it holds.

Objective: To assess content validity of the comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions in primary care physiotherapy services.
Design: Multicentre cross-sectional study.
Subjects: Patients with musculoskeletal disorders referred to primary care physiotherapy services.
Methods: Structured interviews were conducted using categories from the ICF Core Set, and their relevance was assessed using a visual analogue scale. An ICF category had to represent a problem for at least 5% of the sample in order to be validated.
Results: The study sample comprised 274 patients. All categories in the ICF Core Set were confirmed. Body functions related to pain and movement were the most commonly impaired, with ICF categories “b280 Sensation of pain” and “b710 Mobility of joint functions” having the highest prevalence (87.2% and 84.7%, respectively). Activity limitations and participation restrictions were concentrated in chapters “d4 Mobility” (63.5% for “d430 Lifting and carrying objects”) and “d2 General tasks and demands” (59.5% for “d240 Handling stress and other psychological demands”). The most relevant environmental factors were “e225 Climate” (55.8%) and “e580 Health services, systems and policies” (39.4%).
Conclusion: The ICF Core Set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions shows appropriate content validity for primary care physiotherapy services.
Leaf Traits of Parashorea malaanonan Along Elevational Gradient in Mount Makiling Forest Reserve, Philippines
Authors: Ebale Marsh Reginald Bico , Hernandez Jonathan Ogayon , Tinio Crusty Estoque
Published: November 2023

Studying leaf trait variation and relationships along elevational gradients will enhance our understanding of how plants respond to changing environmental conditions. Thus, we analyzed the leaf traits variation in ecologically and economically important Parashorea malaanonan and the potential influence of environmental covariables (rainfall, relative humidity, and air temperature) on leaf traits along an elevational gradient in Mount Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR). Three sampling sites were selected based on elevation, i.e., low (400–500 masl), mid (500–600 masl), and high (> 600 masl). The leaf samples were collected from seedlings, saplings, and adult trees of P. malaanonan. There was no significant variation in most of the measured leaf traits, leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf thickness (LT), leaf length-to-width ratio (L:W) across sampling sites, except vein density (VD). The SLA and LT at high elevations are significantly and negatively correlated (r2 = 0.7396). The environmental covariables had a significant (p < 0.05) impact on the leaf traits of P. malaanonan. The observed variation in some leaf traits may have been influenced by the elevation gradient and its associated environmental conditions. Thus, P. malaanonan may have developed adaptive mechanisms to cope with the changing environment.

The deep structure of the Zagros mountain system according to Taylor approximation seismic tomography data
Authors: Tsvetkova T.O. , Gintov O.B. , Bugaienko I.V. , Zaiets L.M.
Published: November 2023

The seismic tomographic model obtained by the Taylor approximation method provides new constraints on the Earth’s crust and mantle structure beneath the Zagros mountain system at depths of 50—850 km. Based on structural geology and seismic tomography data, we divide the Zagros into Northwestern (Kirkuk, Lurestan, and Dezful regions) and Central (Kazerun and Fars regions) parts. The Central Zagros was formed due to subduction-collision tectonics, and the Northwestern Zagros was formed due to a collision-shear (transpression) tectonic process. Based on the 3D P-velocity model of the Zagros and its surrounding mantle, a high-velocity distal southeastern part of the Arabian Plate was established, subducting under the Central Zagros and the Iranian Plate, following the subduction of the Neotethys. This slab covers an area of 23—32°NL — 49—58°EL, i.e., the Bay of Bengal, the Central Zagros, and the southern part of the Iranian Plate. The maximum horizontal extent of the submerging part of the Arabian slab is 800—1100 km, and the maximum submersion depth is 450—500 km. A number of projections on the horizontal plane of the lines of intersection of the surface of the subducting Arabian Plate with horizontal sections of 50, 100, 200, 300, and 400 km were constructed. We obtained the direction of plate plunging, which in different areas varies from northern to northeastern 30—45°. In the Northwestern Zagros, according to the model, traces of subduction do not appear; however, right-lateral strike-slip deformations along the Main Recent Fault are visible and continue now in the crust. The difference in the types of deformation of the Northwestern and Central Zagros is most likely due to the features of the outlines of the eastern edge of the Arabian Plate and the complex nature of its movements. Analysis of earthquake mechanisms in 1977—2001 shows that the movement of the Arabian Plate could have occurred with frequent alternation in the S-N and N-E directions due to the alternation of spreading processes in the Gulf of Aden and the southeastern part of the Red Sea.
Model of constitutional supervision in the French Fourth Republic: real protection of the Constitution or rapid paralysis of the institutional system of the state
Authors: Badyda A.Yu. , Boldyzhar S.M.
Published: November 2023

It is indicated that the French Republic, its genesis in the aspect of changing forms of government, in particular from the time of the revolution of 1789 until 1958, generates interest in its more detailed study. Before analyzing the Fourth Republic and the norms of the 1946 Constitution for the distribution of powers and powers of the body of constitutional jurisdiction, in particular, it is necessary to realize the colossal experience that is not only necessary to know, but also to be able to apply in the functioning of one's own legal order, even if this experience is not exemplary. and perhaps negative from the point of view of protection of constitutional values and protection of human rights. In discussions about whether constitutional supervision in the IV Republic in France is truly constitutional or pseudo­constitutional, it is necessary to put an end to it.

The experience of the French Republic in the aspect of the evolution of the model of constitutional supervision is relevant, because it was France that tested different «versions» of the latter, in one or another period of development, giving them more and more different content.

The role of the Constitutional Committee, whose functioning and activities are provided for by Chapter XI of the 1946 Constitution, is important for understanding the advantages of today's model of constitutional justice provided for by the 1958 Constitution.

The authors researched the details of the Constitutional Committee's emergence, the procedure for its election, the duration of the mandate and its powers as a body of constitutional jurisdiction. It was concluded that the powers of the Constitutional Committee are primarily powers of coordination between the two chambers of the parliament. Accordingly, the Committee's conclusion does not declare the law unconstitutional, but provides that the proclamation of such a law requires a revision of the Constitution. In other words, it is about the form of the law, not its essential characteristics.

The positions of French scholars in the aspect of attitude to the activities of the Constitutional Committee in the Fourth Republic and assessment from the point of view of its exercise of real constitutional jurisdiction are analyzed.
Systemic crisis of modern international environmental law
Authors: Yermolenko V.M.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the issue of a complex crisis situation in the field of international legal mediation of environmental protection activities, caused by the treacherous attack of the aggressor country on the territory of Ukraine, which showed the complete inability of the established model of international law, including its organizational and institutional component, to oppose the aggressor's plans due to the forced cessation of hostilities , which follows from the direct functional purpose of the United Nations as the main world peacemaker. First of all, a terminological excursion was made into the formation of the name of the field of international law, which provides legal protection of the environment, which is characterized by the absence of a unified conceptual and categorical apparatus, where, along with international environmental law, the names of international ecological, international nature protection and international environmental law are used. The author's conclusion is made about the expediency of finally stopping at the universal name of international environmental law. The conducted analysis made it possible to establish that the aggressor violated almost all existing branch principles of international environmental law, except for the principle of inadmissibility of radioactive contamination of the environment, which is also under constant threat of violation. The lack of an effective mechanism for the protection of the rights and interests of subjects of international environmental law is illustrated by the example of a number of international documents, in particular the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Means of Impact on the Natural Environment, the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Installations, the Convention on nuclear safety and the Agreement between Ukraine and the International Atomic Energy Agency on the application of safeguards in connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The European legal framework of environmental policy and its impact on the criminal legislation of Republic of Moldova
Authors: Ursu V.
Published: November 2023

The article contains a brief interpretation of the provisions of Directive 2008/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19.11.2008 regarding the protection of the environment through criminal law and the impact of its provisions on the criminal legislation of the Republic of Moldova in its capacity as a candidate state for accession to the EU. The author compares the provisions of the Directive and the national framework in the matter of environmental protection through legal-criminal means and the correspondence of the criminal legislation of the Republic of Moldova with the provisions of international acts in the matter. In this article, there are highlighted the objects of legal-criminal protection against criminal attacks and the extent to which they correspond to the objects recommended for protection by the mentioned EU Directive. The author also notes that as a result of the conducted research, it is possible to draw a general conclusion that the concepts of "environmental protection” and "ecological safety” cannot be considered synonymous.

Also, there is analyzed the effectiveness of the applicability of the legal-criminal provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, the interpretation deficiencies and certain legislative gaps.

The legal nature of the institution of a constitutional complaint in the doctrine of constitutionalism

The article attempts to comprehensively determine the legal nature of the institution of a constitutional complaint in the doctrine of constitutionalism.

It is indicated that the legal nature of the constitutional complaint is based on the principles of constitutional law and the rule of law, and acts as an important means of legal protection of the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens. It contributes to ensuring the principle of the rule of law, legal authority and control over compliance with the norms of the Constitution. A constitutional complaint is important in ensuring the constitutional order and functioning of the country's legal system.

It is noted that constitutionalism promotes the development of democratic principles, including the principles of representative power, citizen participation in making important decisions, and the development of civil society. The Constitution is the main law that provides legitimacy and legal foundation for the activities of state authorities. The basis of the doctrine of constitutionalism is the assumption that the government has the potential to abuse and violate the rights of citizens, therefore it sets itself the task of limiting the power by clearly defining the competencies and duties of various branches of government, as well as establishing mechanisms for monitoring their implementation.

It is motivated that the renewal of the mechanisms of constitutionalism is manifested in the fact that, unlike the classical model, where only state bodies had the right to appeal to the Constitutional Court, states now often grant individuals the right to question the constitutionality of a normative or individual act.

It was determined that the legal nature of constitutionalism is manifested in the fact that a constitutional complaint is characterized by the following: acts as a control mechanism on the part of civil society; is a means of achieving the principle of justice, which is the main guarantee of democracy and the rule of law; the doctrine of anthropocentrism is represented, which means an emphasis on the person, his rights, freedoms and interests; endowed with the potential to support the high level, permanent importance of the Constitution in the legal system; embodies the requirement of proper legal certainty of legal norms.

In the article, the legal nature and main features of the institution of model cases are analyzed from a theoretical point of view, in particular the decision in a model case, the main characteristics of the judicial precedent are studied in the doctrinal definition and their comparison is made. A comparative legal analysis of decisions in exemplary cases and court precedent was carried out, which boils down to the following: both are the result of the activity of the court of the highest instance; is the result of solving a specific case; the principle of effect of the decision in the exemplary case is vertical (decisions of courts of higher jurisdiction are universally binding for courts of lower jurisdiction when deciding similar cases), and the principle of effect of court precedent is vertical (must be applied in the ratio decidendi part by lower instances) and horizontal (must be applied by the same court or another court of the same level when deciding "similar" cases; both have a generally binding character when considering the next case, which concerns similar or sufficiently close issues (circumstances of the case); legal conclusions of decisions in exemplary cases and rules of court precedents are directed to judges, who are obliged to implement them, and also for law enforcement by other subjects; however, the decision in an exemplary case is made on the basis of a submission for consideration of one of the typical cases, and a court precedent arises during the consideration of a specific case; the decision in the exemplary case is binding in its entirety and must contain the circumstances clearly defined in the current legislation, and precedent decisions are binding not in their entirety, but only in part of the ratio decidendi, and the rest of the precedent decision, in particular, legal ones positions formulated by the court "inter alia” ("obiter dictum”) are not binding. The fact that the effect of decisions in exemplary cases, although it has the features of a precedent, is different from it, and this proves that effective changes are taking place in the judicial process.
The natural reason for the need for a man to reserve his internal reserves of dignity
Authors: Shcherbai I.
Published: November 2023

Philosophy knows that between the microcosm (man) and the macrocosm (the universe) there is a natural transaction - a conditional contract for the implementation of the life process according to certain rules. The essence of the act boils down to the fact that the inherent dignity of a person must be respected in a certain way. The very metaphysical concept of human dignity contains such content, which the universe needs. And if the universe does not receive these needs, it will negatively affect its functioning. In other words, such internal reserves embedded in a person in the form of dignity (which is the sum of rights and freedoms) are a metaphysical subject of a natural deed.

Respecting human dignity is a relevant issue in the context of research, as people often forget about it. Compliance is a certain component of the realization of the right. Implementation of legal norms covers compliance, implementation, use and application. It is through these forms that the content of the implementation of legal norms, which plays an important role in the life of society, is reflected.

Observance of human dignity takes place in all spheres of human activity, because a person must follow certain rules that are provided for in one or another sphere of his activity, which may concern both family and work.

Human dignity is also interconnected with compliance. So we should always remember that we all must jointly uphold human dignity. Only in this way will we be able to achieve stability, which is very important. After all, stability is confidence in the future.

However, we should not forget that the observance of human dignity is a common goal of citizens. After all, people can get the desired result only together.

It is also worth noting that the main factor in compliance is humility. After all, it is thanks to the fact that a person obeys the law, observes the prohibitions, and his compliance is manifested.

This article is dedicated to exploring the fundamental values and functional purpose of the constitutional-legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process. It has been established that the analysis of the purpose and functions of the constitutional-legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process holds significant theoretical and practical significance. This purpose should correspond to the legal nature of their legal status, and the grounds and sanctions for the constitutional- legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process should be consistent with this purpose and objectives. The functions of constitutional- legal responsibility serve as a tool for achieving its goals. In this context, when defining the purpose of the constitutional-legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process, it is important to take into account the legal nature of this responsibility.

It has been determined that there is currently no single approach to interpreting this term, and its definition may be close to concepts such as 'purpose,' 'competence,' 'rights,' and others. As a functional institution of constitutional law, the institution of constitutional-legal responsibility serves the purpose of servicing the substantive institutions of constitutional law. This dual function of constitutional-legal responsibility is manifested in the fact that it is both a functional institution of constitutional law and a necessary component of all substantive institutions of constitutional law.

It has been revealed that the functions of constitutional-legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process can be characterized as follows: they are a complex and systemic phenomenon and have their specific methods and forms of implementation that relate to specific functions at different stages of their application. They have a specific goal and purpose since they determine the direction and nature of influence and are determined by the laws of social development and the improvement of social relations. The forms of implementing these functions are determined by the nature of the constitutional-legal status of subjects of the electoral process.

It has been established that the functions of constitutional-legal responsibility of subjects of the electoral process should be understood as the main directions of the influence of this mechanism on the activities of subjects of the electoral process, their behavior, and legal consciousness. The functions determine the essence and social purpose of constitutional-legal responsibility and contribute to the achievement of its goals.
