Published: February 2025

This study examines the essential function of Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) as a mediating variable in the correlation between sustainability report disclosures and firm value. The study highlights the beneficial effects of Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) on value creation by aligning business strategy with sustainable practices, as viewed through the framework of stakeholder theory. Multiple regression and path analyses were performed on a sample of Indonesian manufacturing businesses listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023 to evaluate the assumptions. The findings indicate that EMA substantially increases business value by fostering operational efficiency, transparency, and stakeholder confidence. The Sobel test further substantiates EMA's mediation impact, indicating that organizations with strong EMA procedures get superior financial success and sustainability results. This study highlights the significance of incorporating EMA into sustainability reporting frameworks to improve business value and promote sustainable development.

This research analyzes lexical equivalence in news articles about the Labubu phenomenon published on Kompas.com, focusing on how linguistic elements adapt to convey international cultural trends to local audiences. Lexical equivalence, as a key component of discourse cohesion, ensures the clarity and consistency of information in news texts. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines ten selected articles, identifying and classifying the types of lexical equivalence, such as repetition, synonymy, antonymy, collocation, and hyponymy. Findings indicate that affixation, including prefixes, suffixes, and combined affixations, is the most dominant strategy used in lexical adaptation, facilitating nuanced interpretations of cultural phenomena like Labubu. The affixation process creates lexical equivalence relevant to Labubu dolls, reflecting cultural, psychological, and marketing contexts in portraying scarcity, social actions, and opinions. This study provides insights into effective strategies for media adaptation of global cultural content and underscores the importance of lexical cohesion in maintaining credibility and accessibility in news discourse.

Published: February 2025

The objective of this research is to find translation techniques and the types of collocation in the novel A Child Called ‘It’: Once Child’s Courage to Survive. The limitation in this research is only to examine the analysis of collocation translation. The gap of this study is that there is still a misunderstanding in translating collocation and investigating how collocation is actually translated. This research used the theory of Molina and Albir (2002) for the technique of translation and the theory of McCarthy and O‘Dell (2017) for the collocation. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collocations in the novel A Child Called ‘It’: Once Child’s Courage to Survive in two versions, English as the source text and Bahasa Indonesia as the target text. From 18 techniques. There are 11 techniques applied in the data, which are adaptation, amplification, borrowing, calque, description, discursive creation, established equivalent, literal translation, modulation, reduction, and variation. In addition, there are six types of collocation found, which are adjectives and nouns, nouns and verbs, nouns and nouns, verbs and expressions with prepositions, verbs and adverbs, adverbs and adjectives. This research is expected to be useful for further research and could help improve understanding in translation.

Published: February 2025

Silba adipata is a new pest that attacks white chili pepper in Bali, Indonesia. Most farmers control this pest with synthetic insecticides although this method poses significant risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, innovations and control technologies that are environmentally friendly and sustainable are urgently needed. Preliminary results show that S. adipata frequently attacks local figs (Ficus variegata) in Bali. Dried figs (Ficus carica) have been reported to effectively attract S. adipata adults. This study aims to (1) determine the phytochemical compounds in F. variegata fruit extracts that have the potential to act as attractants for S. adipata during the process of searching for and locating host plants; (2) evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of F. variegata fruit extract, nano fruit extract, and nanogel fruit extract as attractants for S. adipata on cayenne pepper plants. The methods used to achieve these objectives were (1) LC-MS/MS analysis for phytochemical profiling, and (2) a preference test to evaluate attractant efficacy. The results revealed that the phytochemical profile of F. variegata fruit extract includes 5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8,8-dimethylpirano[2,3-h]chromen-4-one, with the highest compound content (68.74%) in the fruit aged 9-16 weeks. The application of nanogel extract at a 50% concentration was highly effective and efficient as a biological attractant for S. adipata on white chilli plants in Bali. These findings strongly support the development of integrated pest management strategies in Indonesia.
Modelling thePerformanceof DoublePassSolar Air Collectors
Authors: Machi Maytham H. , Farkas Istvan , Buzás János
Published: February 2025

This study presents a detailed investigation into the thermal performance of double-pass solar air collectors (DPSACs) through a combination of experimental testing and theoretical modelling. DPSACs are widely recognized for their ability to enhance heat transfer and reduce energy losses, making them suitable for applications such as drying and space heating. Experimental measurements were conducted under outdoor conditions focusing on key operational parameters such as mass flow rates (MFR) and solar radiation intensity. A theoretical model was developed and validated against experimental data, achieving high agreement with R2 values of 0.989 for outlet temperature and 0.917 for thermal efficiency. Results indicate that increasing MFRs initially improves thermal efficiency by enhancing convective heat transfer. However, higher MFRs reduce the outlet air temperature, as shorter air residence times limit the transfer of heat to the air. Solar radiation was found to have a pronounced effect at lower MFRs, emphasizing the need for optimal MFR selection to balance efficiency and temperature output. The study highlights a preferred operating range of 0.01–0.025 kg/s for maintaining efficient thermal performance under varying solar intensities. The validated model provides a robust framework for predicting the performance of DPSACs under diverse conditions.
Mathematical description of aerated concrete products autoclave processing process as an object with distributed parameters
Authors: Galitskov Konstantin , Bolkhovetsky Andrey
Published: February 2025

A mathematical description of the autoclave treatment process for cellular concrete products has been developed as a non-stationary control object under conditions of parameter distribution in the form of a system of partial differential equations. The equations take into account heat and mass transfer both in the autoclave medium and in the cellular concrete masses, as well as the process of steam diffusion through the boundary layer and internal heat release during the synthesis of hydro-silicates in the structure of the autoclaved raw material in the form of tobermorite. The resulting system of equations is linked with boundary conditions according to the scheme proposed in the work. Based on the obtained system of partial differential equations, and considering the developed scheme of boundary conditions, a calculation scheme for the autoclave and its corresponding computational model in the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software environment have been created. Numerical experiments were conducted to assess the temperature dynamics at the center and surface of the masses, as well as in the autoclave medium. A comparison of the results of numerical modeling with known data from field experiments by determining the root mean square deviation of temperature values at the center and surface of cellular concrete masses confirmed the adequacy of the developed model under the accepted assumptions. The data obtained from numerical modeling can be used in the synthesis of automated control systems with the autoclave treatment process to determine the temperature gradient in the volume of autoclaved cellular concrete, which, in turn, will optimize production processes and improve the quality of the final product while minimizing energy consumption for its production.

Published: February 2025

Two problems of optimal control of heating of a liquid product in a heating tank with a liquid coolant have been posed and solved on the Pontryagin maximum principle. In the first task, the problem of the speed of heating the product to a given temperature is solved. In the second task, we are looking for a control in which the product is heated for a given time to a given temperature with minimal coolant consumption. The description of the control object with a flow diagram, assumptions simplifying the compilation of the model, a mathematical model of the control object, formulations of optimal control problems and the solutions obtained are given. In the problem of heating speed, analytical expressions are obtained to determine the temperature of the product, the coolant and the control time. An example of solving the problem of heating speed is given with an illustration of the dynamic characteristics of the object variables and the optimal control found. In the problem of minimizing coolant consumption, the solution is obtained numerically. The problem of finding optimal trajectories of variables and control is formulated as a boundary value problem with missing initial conditions, the search for which is realized using the difference method of solving the boundary value problem. Based on the found initial conditions, the Cauchy problem of an extended system of equations is solved, and the optimal trajectory of changes in product temperature and coolant flow is obtained. An example of solving the problem of minimizing coolant consumption is given with a demonstration of the dynamic characteristics of the variables of the object and the optimal control found.

Published: February 2025

The development of a Merkle post-quantum signature scheme based on a modified Lamport one-time signature algorithm is presented. The Merkle signature algorithm and the Lamport one-time signature algorithm are described. There is also a review of the current literature on the subject of the Merkle signature algorithm. A modified algorithm for Lamport's one-time electronic digital signature is described. The algorithms for key generation, signature generation, and verification of a previously generated signature are described in detail. The paper presents a software implementation of an electronic digital signature system with a graphical interface based on the developed algorithm, which allows key generation, signature generation and verification. A flowchart is provided for each of the main modules of the program, and the graphical interface of the developed software for each module is also demonstrated. The results of testing the modified algorithm are presented and its performance is compared with the standard algorithm. The test results confirm that using the modified algorithm allows faster verification of messages, while the speed of key generation and signature does not increase in comparison with the standard algorithm. The modified algorithm speeds up verification regardless of the message length. The results of the performed research are a modified Lamport one-time signature algorithm, which provides a higher signature verification rate compared to the classical algorithm, and a software tool with a graphical interface for generating and verifying a post-quantum electronic digital signature.
Theoretical and legal bases for assessing the effectiveness of implementation of legal acts in the defence sector
Authors: Ostapenko A. I.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and legal aspects of assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of regulatory legal acts as a basis for its application in the field of defense. The essence and differences of the main related concepts are revealed: “effectiveness of the implementation of legislation”, “effectiveness of law”, “effectiveness of legal act”, “effective law”.
It is determined that the implementation of law is a component of the action of law, which directly affects the degree of effectiveness of a regulatory legal act. The conditions, factors and factors that affect the effectiveness of the implementation of regulatory legal acts are considered.
It is determined that the most widespread in the theory of legal monitoring are the ideas of assessing the social effectiveness of legislation, given the main goal of the regulatory legal act - ensuring the social needs of society. Therefore, the key factor in it is the establishment of the social effect of the introduction of the law into force, the possibility of its improvement and consolidation of the achieved positive effect by legal means.
The legal category “assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of regulatory legal acts” is considered as a stage and tool of legal monitoring.
The regulatory and legal framework for implementing legal monitoring in Ukraine in general and assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of regulatory and legal acts, in particular, are analyzed. The main approaches to implementing legal monitoring are reviewed, which can be based both on pre- planned general monitoring and on issues that have arisen in practice and require resolution. The general issues of implementing legal monitoring by executive authorities, including the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which is the main subject of law-making activity in the military sphere, defense and military construction, are outlined. As a conclusion, the need to improve the institutional and legal capabilities of state institutions, the main function of which will be the organization and implementation of legal monitoring in the relevant sphere, including the defense sphere, is noted.
Retrospective of Human Rights Activities of the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations
Authors: Periv I. V.
Published: February 2025

The article provides a retrospective analysis of the human rights activities of the World Federation of Ukrainian Organizations (WFUO), which unites Ukrainian diaspora structures in the struggle for the rights of Ukrainians in the world. The main directions of the Federation’s work are disclosed, in particular the protection of human rights, support of political and public initiatives aimed at preserving national identity, the fight against repression and discrimination. Emphasis is placed on the main areas of activity of the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations (WFUHO), which are aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of Ukrainian women, strengthening their social status and participation in public and political life. Special attention is paid to the struggle for the rights of women who have suffered from gender discrimination, violence or repression, particularly in the context of military conflicts, migration and other crisis situations. One of the important areas of work of SFUZHO is the preservation of national identity among the Ukrainian diaspora. The organization contributes to the development of Ukrainian culture, language, traditions and the education of future generations in the spirit of respect for the national heritage. This activity includes supporting Ukrainian schools abroad, holding cultural events, publishing literature in the Ukrainian language, and organizing international forums. In addition, SFUZHO actively draws the attention of the world community to human rights violations in Ukraine. The organization acts as an initiator and participant of international conferences, protest actions, publications in international media and advocacy campaigns in leading world institutions. Their activities gained special importance during periods of political crises in Ukraine, such as the Revolution of Dignity and Russia’s military aggression. Thus, SFUZHO plays an important role both in the struggle for the rights of Ukrainian women and in maintaining national identity and raising the awareness of the world community about human rights issues in Ukraine.
Champagne fairs in France and modern legal regulation of business in Ukraine: a history lesson for the legislator
Authors: Tarnavska M. I.
Published: February 2025

The publication is devoted to an interesting historical phenomenon – medieval fairs in the Champagne region in France. These fairs are interesting not only from the point of view of history itself, but also from the point of view of legal regulation of business. Even then, many progressive legal instruments were introduced.
It is stated that much of what was taken into account in the Middle Ages, unfortunately, is not taken into account by modern legislation. Thus, the division into merchants and artisans, known for millennia, has an important economic law behind it – manual labor has limitations that, as a rule, trade does not have. A merchant, buying a batch of goods for the purpose of further resale, is limited only by the funds available to him, while an artisan can make only a certain limit number of products per unit of time, and cannot make more of them even with greater capital investments.
Although the legislation previously provided for a separate tax on fishing, today both artisans and traders are actually placed in the same conditions, which is neither fair nor economically expedient.
It is emphasized that today’s legislation also does not take into account the economic interests and specifics of the work of those who, while working at their main job, only occasionally engage in craft or have other side jobs. A separate tax regime with the simplest and most transparent administration should be introduced for such an activity in order to facilitate the exit of potential taxpayers from the shadows.
In addition, the legislation does not provide a preferential start-up period for entrepreneurs who have just started their business, etc.
It is summarized that both in the Middle Ages and now, the key to the effectiveness of legal regulation was and is its compliance with the economic nature and laws, as well as moderation, fairness, taking into account the peculiarities of business, understanding the needs of entrepreneurs, and building their trust and loyalty to state regulators. Among the aspects that should be taken into account in modern legislation, the following are highlighted: taxation of trade and self-produced products (trades and crafts) should be carried out according to different systems; excessive taxation should be avoided; a grace period should be introduced in the taxation of small businesses that have just started their activities. In addition, it is proposed to provide for a special, simplified taxation regime for persons who carry out one or another type of economic activity unevenly, as a supplement or part-time job to their main job. This will not only contribute to the reduction of the shadow economy, but also fill the gap in the current legal regulation.
Influence of student youth on the formation and development of education at the department of state and administrative law at Lviv university in the postwar period
Authors: Shpak N. R.
Published: February 2025

The article traces the impact of students on the educational process of the Department of State and Administrative Law of the Law Faculty of Lviv University in a rather difficult historical period, namely, the post-war period when the territories of Western Ukraine became part of the Soviet Union and were significantly influenced by the Marxist-Leninist ideology. In this regard, the educational process has undergone significant changes, both in organisational matters and in the development and shaping of legal science.
The research is based on archival sources stored in the Archives of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, including minutes of the Department’s meetings, the plan and report on the work of the Department, plans and reports on research work, and the educational work of the Faculty. By analysing certain factors influencing the educational process, we reveal the problems of the formation of administrative science and education in general. It is worth noting that the topic is relevant because there are no separate studies on this issue. Mostly, there are tangential materials or brief mentions in the works of teachers of the Law and History faculties of Lviv University.
Student associations and self-government bodies, such as the student council, student scientific circle, and public dean’s office, are considered. With the help of these associations, students participated in the research life of the university, attended meetings of the department and faculty, had direct contact with the administration, teachers, etc. The topics of students’ research, which they conducted at the department and presented at student conferences both at Lviv University and beyond, are discussed separately. The article also examines students’ internships, military training, military-patriotic education, as well as teacher supervision and influence on their activities.
It is concluded that student youth had only a formal influence on the educational process, all their activities were limited and controlled by teachers and the dean’s office, and their scientific activities were within the artificially created framework of ideology. This contributed to the slow development of education and science in the Soviet period.
Realisation of the right to alternative (non-military) service as a form of performing of the constitutional duty to defend the Fatherland
Authors: Holub V. K.
Published: February 2025

Based on the analysis of a number of scientific positions and the regulatory framework in the area of granting a citizen the right to conscientious objection to military service, the article examines the problematic legal issues relating to the exercise of this right as one of the forms of performing of the constitutional duty of citizens to defend the Motherland.
The constitutional duty of citizens to defend the Fatherland envisages several forms of performing: performing of the duty to defend the Fatherland in the form of exercising the right to resist undemocratic rule which encroaches on the principles of constitutional democracy; performing of the duty to defend the Fatherland in the form of military service under conscription; performing of the duty to defend the Fatherland in the form of alternative civilian (non-military) service.
The author notes that it is expedient and logical to consider part 4 of Article 35 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which states that ‘if the performance of military duty contradicts the religious beliefs of a citizen, the performance of this duty should be replaced by alternative (non-military) service’, as one of the forms of performing of the constitutional duty of a citizen to protect the Motherland. In other words, alternative civilian service has features or properties of two different legal constructs, on the one hand, as a subjective right and, on the other hand, as a legal obligation of a citizen. The obligation to perform alternative civilian service can be compared to the obligation to perform military duty. Each of the duties is a requirement imposed on a person and a citizen and is related to the need for his/her participation in ensuring the interests of society and the state.
Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the exercise by a citizen of the right to alternative civilian service allows, on the one hand, a citizen to fulfill his/her duty to the State, to society, and to other (non-military) types of socially useful activities, and, on the other hand, allows for the full exercise of freedom of conscience, religion, and beliefs of an individual in society, which are the basic elements for the free development of his/her personality. By affirming and ensuring the right to alternative service, the State thereby shows respect for the rights and freedoms of citizens without forcing them to go against their conscience.
Social significance of infrastructure in the context of legal regulation
Authors: Ihnato B.
Published: February 2025

The process of globalization and synergy at the level of states and communities determine the requirements for all spheres of human life. Infrastructure development has a significant role and value as the basic material and organizational basis for official legal regulation and formalization of modern standards for human rights and freedoms, means of their implementation. Infrastructure is a complex, comprehensive object of legal regulation, the basis of which is ensuring a decent life without discrimination. We can argue that the role and significance of infrastructure is increasing, and therefore new types of it are emerging, models of their systemic connections are being developed and improved, which makes further infrastructure development possible. The desire to achieve standards of a decent life, which are inherent in economically developed democratic countries, where fundamental principles and human rights are observed, necessitates the need to plan and develop a model of infrastructure development. The article explores the views on the regulatory and legal definition and content of the concept of “decent life”, the role of means to achieve standards of “decent life”, where the main attention is paid to infrastructure. The article presents and analyzes scientific views on the importance of infrastructure, its ability to form individual social and governmental institutions, its polyvariance.
A comparative analysis of the understanding of infrastructure at the national level with the countries of the European Union and the United States of America is conducted. This study proposes an approach to the perception of the standard of developed and modern infrastructure as a social guarantee, without which the existence of democracy is unimaginable. The value of infrastructure itself makes it vulnerable in terms of national security, which, first of all, in the conditions of the information era of development, indicates the need for its protection at the state level. The scientific research covers the institute of “industrial parks” as a kind of driving force, using the territory to form advanced forms of infrastructure.
Emulation of the latest approaches to understanding infrastructure in Ukrainian law will allow qualitatively laying the foundations for access to a decent life, based on inclusion in institutional provision.
The formula for Peace as a result of a future without war in Ukraine
Authors: Pyvovar M.
Published: February 2025

Ukraine’s peace strategy in the context of the ongoing war with russia, particularly the «Formula for Peace,» serves as a pivotal political instrument for achieving a stable and just peace in Europe while strengthening global security. This process largely depends on the active participation and support of the international community, which must be ready not only politically, but also practically to assist in the implementation of peace agreements.
Russian aggression against Ukraine has persisted for a decade. Since 2014, attempts at peaceful resolution, including the Minsk Contact Group and the Normandy Format, failed to secure a ceasefire or reintegration of Donbas, nor did they avert russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Bilateral negotiations commenced in the early days of the invasion: the first meeting occurred at the Belarusian border on 28 February 2022, followed by discussions on humanitarian corridors on 3 March in the Bialowieza Forest, and another on 7 March, which yielded no significant political outcomes. The final round of talks on 29–30 March in Istanbul explored Ukraine’s potential rejection of NATO integration in exchange for security guarantees. Initially, russia proposed to «reduce activity» in the Kyiv and Chernihiv directions, contingent on Ukrainian military reductions, continued aspirations for EU membership, and freezing Crimea’s status for 15 years. Conversely, russia demanded the recognition of Crimea, withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbas, expanded rights for the russian language, and other concessions. However, after russia’s retreat from northern Ukraine in April 2022 and mounting evidence of war crimes against civilians, the Ukrainian government withdrew from negotiations and abandoned the Istanbul proposals.
The Peace Formula strategy has since become a cornerstone of Ukraine’s efforts to navigate the conflict. In 2023, this initiative gained momentum, with extensive discussions involving representatives from all continents. These dialogues took place during meetings between Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, and foreign diplomats, as well as through consultations among national security advisers. Working groups were established to evaluate the 10 points of the Ukrainian initiative, encapsulating its vision in a document titled Philosophy of the Peace Formula.
E-governance in Ukraine: legal aspects and development prospects
Authors: Suhan I. S. , Senko A. I.
Published: February 2025

E-governance is an essential element of modernizing public administration in Ukraine, enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of governmental bodies while ensuring citizens’ access to administrative services in a digital format. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the legal aspects of e-governance, including its regulatory framework, implementation mechanisms, and development prospects. The study examines the main stages of e-governance adoption in Ukraine, from initial attempts to digitize administrative processes to modern initiatives aimed at creating integrated platforms for interaction among the state, businesses, and citizens. Particular attention is devoted to legislative acts regulating electronic document flow, electronic signatures, digital identification, and personal data protection in compliance with international standards.
The article identifies critical challenges in implementing e-governance in Ukraine. These include insufficient funding, uneven development of digital infrastructure, low levels of digital literacy among the population, legal inconsistencies hindering effective system operation, and the absence of a unified development strategy. The paper emphasizes the importance of aligning national e-governance legislation with European standards, particularly in the context of harmonizing the regulatory framework with the European Union’s requirements.
The author proposes practical recommendations for improving the legal framework for e-governance. Key directions include expanding access to digital services for all population categories, introducing unified data exchange standards among state institutions, strengthening cybersecurity, and implementing mechanisms for transparent monitoring of electronic platform efficiency. The significance of employing innovative tools to engage citizens in decision-making processes based on modern digital technologies is also highlighted.
The prospects for e-governance development are considered concerning its role in democratizing society, improving the efficiency of state processes, enhancing the quality of administrative services, and ensuring effective communication among governance stakeholders. Thus, e-governance emerges as a transformative tool for state administration, driving sustainable development in Ukraine.
Contractual form of service in customs authorities of Ukraine: problems and prospects
Authors: Cherkunov O. V.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the contractual form of service in the customs authorities of Ukraine, focusing on key problems and prospects for its development. In the context of globalization and integration processes, the effectiveness of the customs service becomes an important factor for ensuring the economic security of the state, developing the economy, and supporting international trade, especially in conditions of martial law and the existential necessity of filling the state budget of Ukraine. The study analyzes the current state of organization and implementation of the contractual form of service in customs authorities, identifying the main challenges faced by customs officials in their activities. Among these challenges are issues related to proper legal support and an inert level of response to contemporary requirements, as well as the lack of a unified approach to understanding the service in the customs authorities of Ukraine under a contract.
The article also discusses the updating of Ukrainian legislation regarding the contractual form of service in customs authorities. In particular, it emphasizes the necessity of adopting a new procedure for concluding contracts for service in customs authorities and approving a standard form of the contract, which is expected to significantly change the approach to the organization of the contractual form of service in the customs authorities of Ukraine. An important aspect is also the further development of special legislation regulating the procedure for service.
The prospects for organizing the contractual form of service in the customs authorities of Ukraine lie in comprehensive reforms, including the updating and aligning of regulatory legal acts with the requirements of modern legislation, optimizing the management system as a whole, clearly delineating delegated powers between the central executive authority responsible for implementing state customs policy and the territorial bodies of the State Customs Service, as well as enhancing the level of professional training for staff. The article provides recommendations for improving the management system, ensuring transparency and accountability. Thus, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the problems and opportunities facing the customs authorities of Ukraine, as well as outlines strategic directions for further development in matters of service.
Discipline in public administration as the basis of state functioning: legal dimension
Authors: Chubai A. V.
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the legal dimension of discipline in public administration as the basis of state functioning. Within this analysis, it was found that the concept of discipline is a very ambiguous and contradictory category, which is caused by the presence of a significant number of types of the concept of discipline, reflected in a wide list of normative legal acts. And this mainly applies not to international regulatory legal acts and treaties, which would inevitably contribute to its unified understanding, but to sectoral normative legal acts depending on the specific sphere of relations and legal regulation. Although at first glance one may get the impression that the spirit of this term echoes the terminology of the Soviet legal school, there is no shortage of mentions of the concept of discipline in legislation, including in the field of public service activities in general and public administration bodies in particular. It is substantiated that discipline as a concept and a principle protected by law does not lose its relevance even today. The search for ways of the mechanism of its provision become a permanent object of scientific research by scientists of various socio-humanitarian disciplines. Therefore, scientific research and development remains relevant today. Therefore, it is justified that when we talk about the phenomenon of discipline in the context of the analysis of the activities of state authorities in general and public administration bodies in particular, it is appropriate to talk about official discipline. The latter appears as a differential characteristic, a marker in the analysis of indicators of efficiency or inefficiency of public administration bodies, compliance with the principles of law, in particular, humanism and client-orientation, if it is appropriate to speak about the public sector of activity. This state of affairs gives grounds for asserting that discipline in the activities of public administration bodies is primarily aimed at implementing the provisions of legislative and other sub-legal normative legal acts relating to the provisions on the completion of service and the implementation of job instructions in public administration bodies, the fulfillment of management requirements.
Formation of legal values in the system of national-patriotic and military-patriotic education of servicemen
Authors: Shopina I. M.
Published: February 2025

Based on the analysis of legal acts, the article concludes that there is a lack of consistency in the formation of legal values of servicemen, which requires a number of organizational, theoretical, methodological and legal measures. The author argues that the gaps related to the determination of the legal status of the subjects of educational influences need to be corrected. The author emphasizes that there is a need to modernize the forms and methods of educational work. Given the duration of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, postponing the issues of national-patriotic, military-patriotic and legal education of servicemen to peacetime seems to be unpredictable.
The article emphasizes that under the legal regime of martial law, the formation of legal values in servicemen is complicated by a number of problems, including: a) the primacy of force which is currently being asserted in the international space and is manifested in the ineffectiveness of international mechanisms for deterring and holding the aggressor State accountable for numerous violations of humanitarian law, integrity and inviolability of the territory of other States within their borders; b) the State’s continued underestimation of the importance of forming legal values in all segments of the population.
It is concluded that the formation of legal values in servicemen is an element of national-patriotic and military-patriotic education. The purpose of this activity is to consolidate the idea of the importance of legal ways and methods of conflict resolution and solving problems arising in their service activities and personal space in the value and motivational sphere of servicemen.

The article notes that cognitive activity in the investigation of criminal offenses is carried out in the form of criminal procedural evidence. The peculiarity of such activity is its retrospective nature, i.e. the investigator learns the circumstances of an event by its reflection in the material environment. For this purpose, not any means of cognition are used, but only those provided by law for each of the parties to criminal proceedings, and which allow each party to collect and submit to the court information about the circumstances of the event under investigation.
It is noted that ready-made judicial evidence does not exist in nature, and therefore it is more accurate to speak of the process of formation of evidence in criminal proceedings. Doubts are expressed about the expediency of dividing evidence into pre-trial and judicial. If the factual data meet the requirements of relevance, admissibility, reliability, and their totality – sufficiency, they are evidence at any stage of the proceedings.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the institution of evidence and the norms of criminal procedural law that regulate the procedure for their formation in criminal proceedings, as well as theoretical developments of scientists to develop proposals for further improvement of such activities.
The author analyses theoretical developments and regulatory framework of the institute of proof in the historical context. The author notes that scholars have been particularly active in the issue of declaring factual data inadmissible as evidence after the adoption of the current CPC of Ukraine. The author expresses doubts as to whether it is advisable to divide evidence into those used during pre-trial investigation and those used during court proceedings. The author provides arguments to support the fact that under the current CPC of Ukraine the pre-trial investigation has acquired the features of a collegial investigation (investigator, head of the pre-trial investigation body, prosecutor, investigating judge), which brought the process of evidence formation closer to that which takes place in the court stages.
The author concludes that inadmissible in the proceedings should be considered not evidence, but factual data and information obtained in violation of the form prescribed by law.

The article is devoted to the improvement of the procedural order of international cooperation within the framework of criminal proceedings. Within the framework of the work, attention is emphasized to the importance of improving the international legal sphere of interaction in the field of criminal proceedings, since this vector of optimization of the current criminal procedural legislation is an integral component of the domestic and foreign European integration policy of our state. The article analyzes the content of the consenting and prohibiting activity of the prosecutor during the authorization of certain procedural actions within the framework of criminal proceedings. Attention is emphasized to the categories of «permit» and «special permit» fixed in the criminal procedural law in the context of regulation by the prosecutor of certain procedural actions within the framework of international cooperation. The author’s opinion is expressed that the legislator should specifically define a single category for approval by the prosecutor of certain procedural actions within the framework of international cooperation in criminal proceedings and choose one among the mentioned categories. In addition, the form and content of such a permit procedure by the prosecutor should be established separately by law. The article also discusses the procedural order for the delivery of documents at the request of the competent authority of a foreign state for international legal assistance. It is indicated that the fact of handing over such documents to a person must be carried out with the participation of at least two witnesses. Attention was drawn to the domestic legislator’s use of the category «request» in the context of determining permission for the temporary transfer of a person for his participation in procedural actions. It is indicated that such a category does not fully correspond to the essence of international legal relations in the field of criminal proceedings. Therefore, in such cases, it is suggested to use the category «petition», which in its content actually represents an official request for the implementation of procedural actions or decision-making with the participation of a certain person, which is directed to the competent authorities of a foreign state. In addition, the article considers the current procedural features of the resumption of criminal proceedings in Ukraine and its further investigation in the event of its previous closure by a competent body of a foreign state.
