Importance of decision execution stage in constitutional jurisdiction
Authors: Pankratova A.
Published: September 2023

From the supremacy of the constitutional norm follows the unity of the legal and jurisdictional system in the protection of the constitutional public order, which provides for the validity and effectiveness of the court decisions issued by the judges of the Constitutional Court. The enforcement of jurisdictional decisions issued by constitutional courts or tribunals is adjusted to the right of the party in whose favor the judicial authority rules, so that those who issue them or those who are responsible for their implementation are obliged to take the necessary and timely measures measures for their strict compliance, in accordance with applicable rules and procedures and regardless of whether the punishment to be carried out is to be carried out by a public or private organization.Analyzing the practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, it can be pointed out that the fulfillment by all subjects of legal relations of the prescriptions set forth in court decisions that have entered into force confirms the authority of the state as a legal entity. Also, the mandatory execution of a court decision is a necessary condition for the realization of everyone’s constitutional right to judicial protection, therefore the state cannot evade the fulfillment of its positive duty to ensure the execution of a court decision for the real protection and restoration of court-protected rights and freedoms, legal interests of physical and legal entities, society, state. The positive obligation of the state to ensure the execution of a court decision involves the creation of appropriate national organizational and legal mechanisms for the implementation of the right to the execution of a court decision, capable of guaranteeing the exercise of this right and the binding nature of court decisions that have gained legal force, which is impossible without their full and timely implementation.Timely implementation of decisions of the Constitutional Court is an imperative of the principle of legal certainty. This constitutes a fundamental element of the requirement of efficiency, which is part of the process and guarantees compliance with the principles of supremacy and constitutional immunity by all branches of government and citizens.
Validity conditions of significant transactions of limited and additional liability companies
Authors: Hrynyshyn Kh.M.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the conditions of validity of significant transactions of limited and additional liability companies. The author argues that a significant transaction of LLC or TDV shall comply with not only the general requirements regarding the validity of the deed (Article 203 of the Civil Code of Ukraine), but also the requirements that apply to deed of a specific type depending on its subject. In addition, to enter into a significant transaction, the consent of the authorized body of the company shall be given (or it shall be approved) under Article 44 of the Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies”. The author highlights the criteria for assigning the company’s transactions to the category of significant, analyzes the practice of applying such criteria based on the materials of court practice. The author stresses that significant transactions of the LLC (TDV), entered into without the consent (approval) of the authorized body of the company, are contested transactions. The author also argues that the consent of the general meeting of the company to the conclusion of the deed (or its subsequent approval) is not a classic and unconditional condition for its validity. At the same time, the lack of such consent combined with other circumstances, may be suggested as grounds for declaring the deed invalid. In particular, it is highlighted that in cases of recognition of a significant deed as invalid, other important factual circumstances are to be proved: the absence of active actions by the company or its participants, which would testify that such a contract (deed) does not correspond to the will of the company; the possibility (impossibility) of determining by the counterparty (creditor) whether the transaction is really significant for the company; prosecution of a person who committed such an act in excess of authority, etc
Peace agreements at certain stages of the civil process
Authors: Iurash I.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main theoretical and practical problems of the classification of settlement agreements according to the criterion of the stages of the civil process. The author supports the concept common in the theory of the civil process, according to which the stages of the civil process are distinguished according to the criterion of the closest procedural goal. According to this approach, it is claimed that it is possible to single out settlement agreements that can be concluded at the stage of preparatory proceedings, the stage of dispute settlement with the participation of a judge, the stage of consideration of the case on the merits, the stage of appellate appeal of court decisions, the stage of cassation appeal of court decisions, the stage of review of court decisions under newly discovered and exceptional circumstances, stages of execution of court decisions. The possibility of concluding a settlement agreement at the stage of opening proceedings in the case is denied, since this stage does not involve the participation of the defendant, who learns about the civil case only after receiving a court order to open proceedings in the case. In addition, according to the formed position of the Supreme Court, the conclusion of a settlement agreement is possible only after the opening of proceedings.It is indicated that at any stage of the civil process, where it is allowed to conclude a settlement agreement, its approval by the court is possible, except for the stage of settlement of the dispute with the participation of a judge, where the concluded agreement is approved at the stage of preparatory proceedings. It is noted that when concluding a settlement agreement at the stages related to the appeal and execution of the court decision, it should be taken into account that the dispute about the right has already been resolved by the court of first instance. Therefore, the legislator allows the court of appeal and cassation instance to declare invalid the court decisions of the courts of the lower instance when concluding a settlement agreement at these stages of the civil process. At the stage of execution of the court decision, it is not recognized as invalid, but the approval of the settlement agreement is carried out by the court, and not by a state or private executor.Motives for concluding a settlement agreement are determined after the legal dispute in a civil case has already been resolved by the court of first instance.

Authors: Herasymchuk Ye
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the issues of conducting anti-dumping and safeguard investigations in Ukraine under martial law. The author analyses the current practice of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine in conducting trade investigations in terms of determining the time limits for procedural stages of investigations within the competence of the authority, which demonstrates that the investigating authority violates the rights of the parties concerned in trade investigations, some of which are still unresolved.The purpose of the article is to study the legality of the actions of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine with regard to postponement of deadlines within investigations and compliance with the World Trade Organization Agreements governing certain types of trade investigations, and to prepare recommendations for further actions of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine within its competence.

It is concluded that the Ministry of Economy and the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade have discretionary powers to determine certain terms of investigations and make decisions based on their results. The author concludes that determining the time limits for procedural stages of investigations remains within the discretionary powers of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine as long as the time limits for conducting trade investigations set out in Ukrainian legislation are not violated. The author also examines the legal consequences of violation of these deadlines.The author has prepared conclusions and recommendations on conducting trade investigations and making decisions based on their results in case of violation of the time limits established by the legislation of Ukraine, the key of which is that further conduct of an anti-dumping or safeguard investigation after such violation is illegal, therefore, the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade, upon the submission of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, should terminate the investigation without taking any measures.

Published: September 2023

This scientific work analyzes the main features and problems of the development of land relations in the context of local self-government reform. It was found that today land relations are progressing extremely actively, which in turn requires effective changes in the field of decentralization, which will provide additional opportunities for their potential development and improvement. The interpretation of the modern concept of “land relations” is also given. It has been established that the concept of “land relations” should be understood as relations between the state, society, as well as business, which are formed in the process of realization of ownership, use and protection of land resources. It has been studied that relations regarding land resources play one of the main roles in society and the state in general. The powers of local state administrations and local self-government bodies in the field of land relations have been revealed. It was found that the resources of the territorial community should include relevant renewable objects of administration, including location space, greenery, natural minerals, which have some monetary value and in turn can be involved in certain processes of production of specialized products or provision of services, and, as a result, further increase the income of the territorial community. The main shortcomings in the domestic system of state control in the field of land relations are revealed, and the most important problems of land relations in the context of local self-government reform are identified. It has been established that the main direction of active reform of local self-government takes place precisely in the sphere of increasing the powers of relevant bodies in terms of the practical formation of ownership rights to land resources, the comprehensive development of land relations, as well as the implementation of strict control over the quality of use of land resources and granting the population the right to extended rights regarding the control and protection of land resources. The specified measures will be able to ensure the effectiveness of the development of the territory, preserve the quality of land resources, significantly increase the flow of funds to the local budget and improve the level of social well-being.

Authors: Beneskul A.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the directions of application of digital technologies in various spheres of life of civil society and the state within the framework of ensuring criminological security of the state. Separate legal acts containing norms regarding the necessity of using various digital technologies and their significance in the development of the rule of law have been analyzed. The author noted the need not only to create a legal basis for the use of digital technologies, but also the importance of developing a system of effective measures to effectively combat crimes committed with the use of digital technologies. Attention is drawn to the problem of the lack of sufficient legal bases related to the understanding of digital crime, which requires detailed study and clear regulatory regulation. Also, the article carries out a comprehensive study of the field of use of digital technologies, as well as outlines directions for solving criminological tasks, which involve the definition of «criminal offenses committed with the use of digital technologies» and the search for new forms and means of combating them.

The relationship between the use of digital technologies and the provision of various types of security, namely: informational, economic, national, criminological, cyber security, etc., is investigated. In addition, the current state of the criminal situation in this area is analyzed and socio-economic factors associated with the development of digital technologies, which are actively used by criminals as a mechanism in their criminal activities, are noted. Namely, the author emphasizes that crimes committed with the use of digital technologies are practically hidden from external factors, occur remotely, which, accordingly, allows criminals to be (in another locality or even abroad) at a considerable distance from the object of the criminal offense, which considerably complicates the process of their detection, bringing guilty persons to criminal responsibility, which actualizes the indicated direction of scientific research. Also, specific proposals for improving criminal legislation in the researched area are given.
Problems of protection in Ukraine and foreign experience of prevention from domestic violence
Authors: Kovalenko I.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the problem of domestic violence, which, unfortunately, is taking place in Ukraine today. Over the past 3 years, Ukraine has been shackled by various factors that greatly affect the psychological state of people. First it’s a pandemic, now it’s a war. Specialists do not have time to develop measures that would prevent the occurrence of this type of violence. However, it is impossible to predict exactly.

Problems of protection against domestic violence can be divided into several main groups.

Lack of effective legislation and its application: Often the legislation does not meet the needs of the times and does not contain a sufficient number of protective mechanisms. In addition, existing laws are often not applied effectively enough, as a result of which rapists remain outside justice.

Socio-economic factors: Low level of socio-economic development of the region, low education and cultural level of families, dangerous traditions and beliefs that support violence can contribute to the spread of domestic violence.

Persistent stereotypes and low educational and informational culture: Victims often do not seek help due to persistent stereotypes regarding the role of men and women in the family, fear of society’s reaction and fear of losing children, as well as due to a low educational and informational culture that does not provide opportunities consciously recognize the problem and look for ways to solve it.

Inadequate help and support for victims: Victims are not always given enough help and support after seeking help, which can lead to them remaining in the relationship with the abuser.

Inadequate work with rapists: Usually, various forms of punishment are used for rapists, but until sufficient work is done to rehabilitate them, the problem of domestic violence will not go away.

Another problem is that many victims of domestic violence do not seek help from law enforcement or social services because of fear, distrust of the system, or financial dependence on the abuser. Therefore, it is important to improve mechanisms for victims to seek help, to ensure confidentiality and safety during the application, as well as to ensure that victims understand that their rights will be protected.
The relationship between the victim and the victim of a criminal offense
Authors: Tkachenko I.
Published: September 2023

The article examines topical issues of correlation between the victim in criminal law and the gestures of a criminal offense in criminology. This makes it possible not only to identify common and distinctive features of these categories, but also to better understand their legal nature, to determine the prospects for improving legislation in this area of legal regulation, and also to outline the boundaries of victimization prevention of crimes and criminal offenses.

The author establishes that the criminological term « gestures « is certainly based on the criminal law term «victim». A victim of a criminal offense is understood primarily as an injured individual who is recognized as such in accordance with the provisions of criminal law or criminal and criminal procedure law. However, some criminologists do not limit themselves to them and identify other persons who have suffered damage not directly but indirectly. A victim of a criminal offense is characterized not only by criminal law features, but also by other features which are not of criminal law significance.

The author argues that the main criteria for distinguishing between a victim and an injured person are as follows: 1) these categories belong to different characteristics of criminal offenses (criminological and criminal law); 2) they are characterized by different features; 3) they have different purposes.

Despite the fact that the gestures of a criminal offense is usually recognized as an individual, the object of criminological research should also be legal entities that have suffered damage as a result of a crime or criminal offense. Although they are not necessarily called gestures of a criminal offense.

Analysis of the concept of «access to court» in judicial practice
Authors: Klymkovych I.
Published: September 2023

The right to access to justice is an element of the inalienable right of a citizen, a right protected by the constitution itself. The principles governing the rights of access to justice are the inalienability of the jurisdiction from which the constitutional processes are initiated, enshrining the guarantee of the fundamental right. From this analysis, it is intended to question the guarantees and principles that provide for human rights, supported by judicial guarantees, in order to fully implement basic and social rights that raise, develop, guarantee the maximum amount of life in its fullness. Access to justice does not mean that it merely provides an opportunity to initiate proceedings, but rather that the process achieves a just, satisfactory and effective resolution.

Access to justice has two main goals: the first is that the judicial system is accessible and egalitarian for all citizens, and the second is that outcomes are fair to individuals in society. The concept of access to justice has undergone several transformations over time. One perspective was to guarantee the citizen access to the judiciary and consider it as an instrument of jurisdiction with social goals, forcing the population to assert more and more of their rights, using the legal process as a means. However, access to justice is a fundamental right of great importance, it is a public right, which a democratic legal state is obliged to guarantee and ensure; This is a subjective right that is part of human dignity.

Every person has the right to demand from the state proper protection of his rights and maximum space for the court. Based on this statement, it is the duty of the state to structure itself in such a way as to exercise judicial rights through the pedagogy of improving and modernizing the legal order, considering the parameters of justice, efficiency and speed.

Peculiarities of payment of local taxes by enterprises during the legal regime of martial law
Authors: Kuzmenko O. , Chorna V.
Published: September 2023

In the conditions of war, special attention is paid to the strengthening of public administration and local self-government in order to strengthen the state in order to provide a powerful repulse to the enemy and the possibility of restoring the economy of Ukraine. The development of local self-government is particularly important as it encourages the creation of a full-fledged living environment for citizens, the provision of high-quality and accessible public services, the establishment of institutions of direct people’s power, and the coordination of the interests of the state and territorial communities. The basis of the development of local self-government is the formation of local budgets, which today have significantly decreased due to the decrease in the number of the population, bankruptcy of private enterprises, etc. It should be noted that today the economic activity of business has decreased by 50 percent, and about 8 million Ukrainians are abroad. A large number of Ukrainian citizens became internal migrants. The damage caused by missile attacks to our infrastructural facilities exceeded 40 billion dollars. Each missile attack worsens the financial results of entrepreneurs, causing a decrease in earnings, a decrease in wages for employees, along with this, and tax revenues. That is why the main task for the development of territorial communities is the implementation of effective reforms that will make it possible to increase the resource and financial base.

It was noted that the liberalization of taxation during the war is a forced anti-crisis measure. Lowering the rates of excise tax, value added tax, introduction of a single tax of 2% for virtually all enterprises, easing of the administrative burden on taxpayers, deregulation of business and loosening of tax control helped business survive the shock. These measures helped enterprises to focus on personnel problems, readjust business to extreme working conditions, search for new opportunities for recovery and adjustment of production. They did not deal with the issues of finding resources and means for calculating and paying taxes. While the introduced changes are temporary and short-lived, they will cease after the end of the war and the stabilization of the situation. That is why, after the recovery of business activity and reduction of the unemployment rate, the state should return to the permanent post-crisis model of taxation.

The article is devoted to the theoretical and legal characteristics of the administrative activity of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The change and complication of the nature of threats to border security lead to the adjustment of the structure and functions of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, which, in order to ensure the fulfillment of the tasks assigned by the law, implements administrative and legal norms (executes administrative powers), the specification of which is manifested in the implementation of administrative activities, and its bodies and divisions are participants in administrative and legal relations. The transformation in the sphere of protection of the state border of Ukraine, associated with the change of threats on the state border and the reorientation of the activities of the executive authorities on European principles, led to the need to study the administrative activities of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. Based on the application of dialectical, formal- logical, hermeneutic and comparative methods, various approaches to the understanding of administrative activity were analyzed, the peculiarities and types of administrative activity of the State Border Service of Ukraine were characterized, and the author’s understanding of this concept was formulated.

Features of implementation of types of administrative activities of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine depending on their purpose are characterized: intervention activity, facilitating activity, security activity.

It is proposed to understand the administrative activity of the State Border Service of Ukraine as an executive activity regulated by administrative and legal norms, carried out within the scope of the tasks and powers of officials of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (administrative rights and duties), aimed at the implementation of assigned functions and satisfaction of public interest , interests of Ukrainian citizens, foreign citizens and stateless persons in the sphere of state border protection. Administrative activity is divided into intra-organizational and external (public administration).

Directions for further scientific research are outlined in accordance with the subject of this article.
Analysis of Industry 4.0 Readiness among Regional Governments in Indonesia: The Worth of Digital Wisdom and Values in Public Services
Authors: Sobari Wawan , Pohan Ibnu Asqori , Priandani Nurizal Dwi
Published: September 2023

This research aims to evaluate the readiness of regional governments to engage with the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), especially in e-service delivery. In the era of Industry 4.0, governments are increasingly considered public service centres that are evaluated for their ability to provide expanded services in the most efficient and individual ways. This research applied an eservice model survey by evaluating indicators of e-services about maturity values on a user-based website or mobile device applications. Assessments of e-service in three regional governments in Greater Malang reveal flaws in personnel readiness, user preparedness, flexibility in e-service procedures and requirements, integration among applications, lack of socialization, weak leader support and commitment, low budgets, and infrastructure constraints. Guided by these discoveries, unlike with theory, this study proclaims the importance of digital wisdom involving empathy, simplicity, compromise, creativity, and humility in public service. This study also formulates the digital values of political leadership transformation, public need-based digitalization, immediate resolution, changes in digital governance networks, digital wisdom, and interregional connectivity in public services. Finally, the study expands on the theory that governments can exceed preparedness by incorporating digital wisdom and values to drive public service.

Introduction

Universally, in microbiological diagnostics the detection of live bacteria is essential. Rapid identification of pathogens enables appropriate remedial measures to be taken. The identification of many bacteria simultaneously facilitates the determination of the characteristics of the accompanying microbiota and/or the microbiological complexity of a given environment.

Material and Methods

The effectiveness of the VITEK2 Compact automated microbial identification system and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), analytical profile index (API) and Remel RapID tests were compared in identification of bacteria isolated from the alpaca gastrointestinal tract.

Results

Most isolates were Gram-positive, such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus flexus, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus subtilis; Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus gallinarum, Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus casseliflavus; Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus equorum, Staphylococcus lentus, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus sciuri; Paenibacillus amylolyticus; Cellulosimicrobium cellulans; Leuconostoc mesenteroides; Clostridium perfringens; Corynebacterium stationis, Corynebacterium xerosis, and Corynebacterium diphtheriae (the last only isolated manually by API Coryne and the VITEK2 system and Corynebacteria (CBC) card). Corynebacterium diphtheriae was misidentified by MALDI-TOF MS as Candida lipolytica (currently Yarrowia lipolytica). Gram-positive and Gram-variable Micrococcus luteus were also isolated. Gram-negative Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter gergoviae, Enterobacter hormaechei and Enterobacter ludwigii; E. coli; Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae; Citrobacter braakii and Citrobacter freundii; Serratia liquefaciens, Serratia odorifera and Serratia marcescens; Morganella morganii subsp. morganii; Providencia alcalifaciens; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; Moraxella osloensis; and Ochrobactrum intermedium were also found. The yeasts Candida albicans, Candida haemulonii and Candida ciferrii were also present.

Conclusion

East Java Province is a province that experiences many flood disasters. Floods are natural disaster events that are generally affected by the inability of an area to accommodate high rainfall, where rainfall is different in each region. This study aims to determine models and factors that can significantly cause floods in East Java Province with predictable variables including population density, number of rainy days, rainfall, humidity, population growth rate and development land use. The regression method that is able to model cases with these conditions is Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Source of research data were obtained from the Central Statistic Agency, POWER Data Access Viewer and Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The best model can be shown by the coefficient of determination, where the GWR obtains a greater coefficient of determination, namely 65.37% compared to the coefficient of determination in linear regression, which is equal to 31.19%, and the coefficient of determination of SAR is 36.26%.

Penyakit Ginjal kronik (PGK) dapat menyebabkan beberapa komplikasi seperti hipertensi, anemia, asidosis, albuminuria, dan depresi. Anemia memiliki prevalensi yang cukup tinggi sebagai komplikasi dari PGK. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kasus penyakit ginjal kronik dengan anemia di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Sanglah tahun 2018 dan 2019. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dan studi potong lintang. Sampel dipilih berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Dalam analisa data digunakan software SPSS guna mendapatkan gambaran kasus penyakit ginjal kronik dengan anemia berdasarkan jenis kelamin, usia, tempat tinggal, derajat anemia, dan morfologi anemia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kasus penyakit ginjal kronik dengan anemia di RSUP Sanglah tahun 2018 dan 2019 terbanyak dialami oleh laki-laki (71,6%) dengan rentang usia terbanyak pada usia 46-55 (lansia awal) sebesar 34,6% dan sebagian besar penderita PGK dengan anemia bertempat tinggal di kota Denpasar yaitu sebesar 39,5%. Derajat anemia yang tampak pada penderita PGK di RSUP Sanglah tahun 2018 dan 2019 sebagian besar berupa anemia derajat sedang (61,7%), dengan tampilan morfologi anemia yang paling banyak berupa anemia normokromik normositer sebesar 50,6%.

Los brotes de enfermedades en cultivos de zarzamora (Rubus subgénero Eubatus) en Los Reyes, Michoacán, México, ocasionan pérdidas en la producción. Las condiciones edafoclimáticas, prácticas agrícolas inadecuadas y el cambio climático han favorecido la pudrición de la raíz (Fusarium spp.), dejando de cultivarlas con pérdidas equivalentes a los 2 540 millones de pesos anuales (125 millones de dólares). El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar numéricamente la viabilidad térmica para cultivar tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) hidropónico en invernadero como alternativa agrícola. Se usaron bases de datos climatológicas y dinámica de fluidos computacional (CFD) para alimentar modelos numéricos y analizar el ambiente de dos invernaderos cenitales típicos de Mexico. Los modelos numéricos se evaluaron mediante un análisis ANOVA de un factor con p  0.5. Resultados muestran que la temperatura en el invernadero se mantiene entre el umbral máximo y mínimo para el cultivo de tomate (de 10 a 30 °C). Para acumular 1 398.5 grados días calor (GDC) recomendados por ciclo, en esa región resulta factible almacenar calor para cultivar tres ciclos cortos de tomate. Se identifican periodos críticos debido a las altas temperaturas en los meses de marzo a junio, durante los cuales se requiere ventilación natural con ventanas frontales, cenitales y laterales, para mejorar la tasa de renovación de aire cuando existe un cambio en la dirección del viento predominante.

Background:

Differentiated thyroid cancer is the commonest endocrine malignancy. Mortality in the presence of distant metastasis can increase dramatically. Bony metastasis often leads to increased morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who had metastatic spread of follicular cancer of the thyroid, without any identifiable primary.

Case Presentation:

A 60-year-old male presented with backache and weakness of lower limbs due to the collapse of the 11th thoracic vertebra. He underwent laminectomy and internal fixation. The histopathology revealed that it was the metastatic spread of follicular cancer of the thyroid. The histopathology revealed no malignancy in the thyroidectomy specimen. Subsequent administration of radioactive iodine showed a fall in thyroglobulin from 6,000 to 203 ng/ml.

Conclusion:

In cases of metastasis from an unknown primary, follicular thyroid cancer should be included in the differential diagnosis. Treatment after thyroidectomy can lead to good results.
