Authors:   Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Marochkin Oleksii , Voronko Anastasiia ,   Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University
Published: December 2021

The scientific article is devoted to the analysis of issues related to the ethical principles of the prosecutor's conduct in Ukraine and abroad. In the article, the author analyzes the current changes to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors, which were approved by the All-Ukrainian Conference of Prosecutors on August 28, 2021. The analysis of these changes has not yet been the subject of research by domestic scientists and prosecutors. The author establishes the general expediency of making these amendments to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors as such, which will contribute to the discipline of prosecutors and proper law enforcement. In order to properly analyze the study of certain provisions of the Laws of Ukraine "On the Prosecutor's Office" and "On Prevention of Corruption". Based on the study, the author made a number of conclusions and proposed amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On the Prosecutor's Office" and the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors. Some changes to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of the Prosecutor, in the opinion of the author, will not have any consequences, as already established in other regulations. The international legal acts (Guidelines on the Role of Prosecutors, Standards of professional responsibility and statement of the essential duties and rights of prosecutors, European guidelines on ethics and conduct for public prosecutors), which had a positive impact on the further consolidation of professional and personal and moral and ethical requirements for prosecutors in the relevant codes of ethics of various foreign countries. The ethical principles of prosecutors' conduct, which are enshrined in the relevant codes of Great Britain, Lithuania, and Latvia, are considered. The author examines the US experience of the so-called "filtering" procedure for candidates with an inadequate reputation for public service positions, which is mandatory and conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The article emphasizes that the obligation to ensure appropriate international criteria for the selection of persons for the post of prosecutor, which would include guarantees against appointments based on passion, and exclude any discrimination on the basis of skin color, language, religion rests with the state. According to the results of the study, it was established that the amendments to the Code will contribute to the discipline of prosecutors and ensure that the norms of the Code are brought in line with the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PRECONDITIONS OF THE STATE POLICY IN THE SPHERE OF LABOR
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ostapenko Leonid
Published: December 2021

Modern approaches in the explanation of Ukrainian state policy in the field of labor, as a rule, are based on the constitutional principles and normative-legal acts, regulating a wide range of social and labor relations. The available arsenal of explanations of state policy has different in content interpretations, with the help of which means and goals, aimed at the implementation of state tasks, which are complex in nature and require legal regulation, are denoted. Among the political, economic and social prerequisites for the formation and implementation of state policy, an important place belongs to the justification of the authoritative nature of state activity aimed at the regulation of social relations, among which should be highlighted relations in the field of labor. The essence of state power to implement tasks in the field of labor reveals not only the socio-political significance, but also indicates the presence of administrative and legal filling of certain provisions of legal regulation of social and labor relations, closely related to employment and employment employment of the population, its participation in the creation of the national material base, which is the basis of the social welfare of the population. Political decisions of the state in the field of labor are carried out by public authorities, which use forms and methods of administrative and legal regulation, its mechanism, which in most cases does not contradict the legal provisions enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine. At the same time, the spread of state policy in the domestic administrative and jurisdictional practice is one of the conditions requiring the study of the nature, features, purpose and application of administrative and legal regulation of relations in the field of labor.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ostapenko Leonid
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the issues of special regulation of labor relations under quarantine. Such a basic concept of labor law as remote and at-school work is considered. Comparative analysis of legislation of the countries of the world on homebased work and peculiarities of its use in modern market conditions is carried out. The example of tv workers describes the working conditions of their work both outside the permanent workplace and in the time of performance of the labor functions defined for them. Attention is paid to the need to take into account the peculiarities of remote work not only with the help of television technologies, but also in other media. Taking into account the current national legislation, new well-founded approaches in terms of the legal and organizational basis for the functioning of the labor regime during the quarantine restrictions are proposed, which to some extent will contribute to the implementation of the right to work for the population of Ukraine.
THE ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN UKRAINE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SMOKING
Authors:   The state institution ", Butyrin Yevhen ,   South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky"
Published: December 2021

The article provides a legal analysis of the activities of local governments to combat smoking. It is highlighted that local governments, within their competence: control the implementation ofrelevant programs to prevent and reduce the use of tobacco products and their harmful effects on public health; contribute to the solution of issues of financial and logistical support of measures and works, aimed at limiting the use of tobacco products, as well as reducing their harmful effects on the health of the population, including annually, when forming the relevant budgets, they monitor the implementation of preventive and therapeutic measures within the relevant administrative-territorial unit to restrict the use of tobacco products, reduce their harmful effects on the health of the population, determine the smoking-free places. It is noted that the municipal police are actively involved in drawing up administrative protocols on smoking in prohibited places. It is noted that local governments exercise control over the implementation of preventive and therapeutic measures within the respective administrative-territorial unit, restricting the use of tobacco products, and reducing their harmful effects on public health. It is concluded that since local governments independently decide on the creation, closure, reorganization or re- profiling of health care institutions, they can create the appropriate conditions and develop infrastructure to assist in smoking cessation. It is noted that in order to really influence the change in the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of schoolchildren regarding the use of tobacco products, it is necessary to ensure the constant availability of the necessary information in the media space. Against this background, local governments can oblige educational institutions to take the following measures: weekly conduct information campaigns to ban smoking; register students in school who use tobacco products and use electronic cigarettes (with a view to referring them to a healthcare professional); install healthy lifestyle posters in every classroom of the school, as well as disseminate information about the harmful effects of smoking on human health, etc.

Published: December 2021

In Ukraine, as in any other country, a strategy for the development of young people has been developed in the framework of achieving their opportunities and gaining experience, which will lead to better integration into society. Legal aspects of youth policy in Ukraine are regulated by the Law of Ukraine "On Basic Principles of Youth Policy", the Decree of the President of Ukraine "On Additional Measures to Implement State Youth Policy", the Law of Ukraine "On Approval of the National Quality Mark and Quality Criteria for Youth Centers". social program "Youth of Ukraine" for 2021-2025. One of the main directions of the state youth policy is the direction of providing youth with housing. The law stipulates that young people and young families must receive preferential long-term government loans for the construction and purchase of apartments and houses at the expense of state and local budgets. Determining the development of youth policy in Ukraine is also providing young people with appropriate conditions for development and increasing their creative and intellectual potential. Effective implementation of youth policy in the European Union is also carried out through the activities of the Main Department of Education, Youth, Sports and Culture. Considering the peculiarities of Ukraine's implementation of the experience of European countries in the field of youth policy, it should be noted that the active establishment of international youth contacts. In particular, special attention in this process is paid to the implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, as well as cooperation between Ukraine.

Oxygen Stable Electrochemical CO2 Capture and Concentration through Alcohol Additives
Authors: Yang Jenny , Barlow Jeffrey
Published: December 2021

Current methods for CO2 capture and concentration (CCC) are energy intensive due to their reliance on thermal cycles, which are intrinsically Carnot limited in efficiency. In contrast, electrochemically driven CCC (eCCC) can operate at much higher theoretical efficiencies. However, most reported systems are sensitive to O2, precluding their practical use. In order to achieve O2 stable eCCC, we pursued the development of molecular redox carriers with reduction potentials positive of the O2/O2- redox couple. Prior efforts to chemically modify redox carriers to operate at milder potentials resulted in a loss in CO2 binding. To overcome these limitations, we used common alcohols additives to anodically shift the reduction potential of a quinone redox carrier, 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (TCQ), by up to 350 mV, conferring O2 stability. Intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions to the dianion and CO2-bound forms of TCQ were correlated to alcohol pKa to identify ethanol as the optimal additive, as it imparts beneficial changes to both the reduction potential and CO2 binding constant, the two key properties for eCCC redox carriers. We demonstrate a full cycle of eCCC in aerobic simulated flue gas using TCQ and ethanol, two commercially available compounds. Based on the system properties, an estimated minimum of 21 kJ/mol is required to concentrate CO2 from 10% to 100%, or twice as efficient as state-of-the-art thermal amine capture systems and other reported redox carrier-based systems. Furthermore, this approach of using hydrogen-bond donor additives is general and can be used to tailor the redox properties of other quinones/alcohol combinations for specific CO2 capture applications.
Iodine determination in mineral water using ICP-MS: method development and analysis of brands available in Israeli stores
Authors: Rosen Vasiliy , Gal Garber Orit , Chen Yona
Published: December 2021

Reliable iodine determination in drinking water samples has gained importance in the last few decades, mostly due to intensive use of both desalinized water that lacks several important nutritional elements, and bottled mineral water. ICP-MS is a sensitive, high-throughput method for iodine determination that must be performed under alkaline conditions because of the volatile nature of some iodine species. However, in water samples with high pH (>10), slow precipitation of calcium (Ca) and/or magnesium (Mg) carbonates leads to clogging of the ICP-MS nebulizer. We propose preventing this precipitation by adding the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 0.1% to a 2% ammonium hydroxide matrix. This concentration of EDTA sufficed for most drinking water samples studied, as long as a 1:1 molar ratio of EDTA to Ca+Mg concentration in the water was maintained. The limit of quantitation of the developed method for iodine was <0.1 µg L-1. The average iodine concentration in various brands of bottled mineral water sold in Israel was relatively low (7.67 ± 6.38 µg I L-1). Regular consumption of either desalinated water or bottled mineral water may induce iodine deficiency in Israeli consumers. Therefore, continuous follow-up of the iodine status in both tap and bottled water is strongly recommended.

Environmental Activism in the Digital Age
Authors: Jacqmarcq Maëlle
Published: December 2021

The development of new digital technologies was predicted to be a boon for environmental activism. Internet and social media platforms were expected to facilitate broad bottom-up change, enabling activists worldwide to communicate and organize more effectively. However, the emergence of digital technologies may not have revolutionized the methods and impacts of activist organizations, especially for the environmental movement, wherein meaningful change has not yet been realized regarding climate change and nature preservation. Given the many challenges activists face, it is essential to understand how collective action can be undertaken with digital media to produce positive consequences for nature and human relations. Moreover, the neoliberal economic context from which digital technologies emerged and grew further accelerates environmental destruction through overproduction and overconsumption. This paper examines the relationship between environmental activism and digital technologies. While the environmental movement may have benefitted from newer organizational and communication tools on the international stage, the neoliberal economic framework in which digital technologies operate fundamentally contradicts the goals of the environmental movement.
Political Discourse in the Maghreb: An Analysis of Amazigh Identity in Algeria and Morocco
Authors: MacDonald Peter
Published: December 2021

The Imazighen (plural of Amazigh) are an indigenous group primarily located in Northern and Western Africa. While Amazigh communities are present across the Maghreb, the role of Amazigh identity in Morocco and Algeria is of particular interest given each country's distinct treatment of ethnic and linguistic minorities. In Algeria, Amazigh identity is not as overtly politicized as in Morocco, wherein Amazigh communities are often at the forefront of public discourses and are often scapegoated as a source of political instability. Compared to Morocco, Algerian Imazighen generally experience higher acceptance levels due to numerous social, political, historical, and geographic factors that underpin the treatment and perceptions of Amazighté in Morocco and Algeria today. This article analyzes Algeria and Morocco's respective independence movements, political systems, language laws, and geographic topography to link the contemporary role of Amazigh identity to each national setting's unique history, politics, and geography.

Published: December 2021

Hypertension is a major risk factor for causing life-threatening cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, coronary heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke. Its cases continue to increase worldwide and it is estimated that 1.56 billion adults would live with the condition in 2025. Therefore, this study aims to examine the antihypertensive effect of nori supplement prepared with a combination of turmeric (Curcuma longa) and gotu kola (Centella Asiatica) on L-NAME-induced and non-induced rats. It was conducted for 28 days on 25 wistar rats that were randomly assigned to the negative, positive, comparison, supplement, and test control groups. CODA was then used in measuring the blood pressure of the rats, while ECG and PPG sensors were utilized for arterial stiffness assessment, as well as for spatial QRS-T and heart rate analysis. Additionally, serum NO levels were measured using griess reagents by spectrophotometric λ540 nm. At the same time, the gel-based PCR semi-quantitative method was used in assessing the activity of ACE, including eNOS and iNOS gene expression. The results showed that nori preparations which contained a combination of 5% turmeric and gotu kola in a feed mixture, had an antihypertensive effect. The effect was characterized by a decrease in systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure, as well as heart rate, arterial stiffness, and spatial QRS-T. Additionally, it occurred due to increased NO availability, which resulted from eNOS expression as well as a decrease in iNOS and ACE expression.
The genus Microniphargus (Crustacea, Amphipoda): evidence for three lineages distributed across northwestern Europe and transfer from Niphargidae to Pseudoniphargidae
Authors: Weber Dieter , Stoch Fabio , Knight Lee R.F.D. , Chauveau Claire , Flot Jean-François
Published: December 2021

Microniphargus leruthi Schellenberg, 1934 (Amphipoda: Niphargidae) was first described based on samples collected in Belgium and placed in a monotypic genus within the family Niphargidae. However, some details of its morphology as well as recent phylogenetic studies suggest that Microniphargus may be more closely related to Pseudoniphargus (Amphipoda: Pseudoniphargidae) than to Niphargus. Moreover, M. leruthi ranges over 1,469 km from Ireland to Germany, which is striking since only a few niphargids have confirmed ranges in excess of 200 km. To find out the phylogenetic position of M. leruthi and check whether it may be a complex of cryptic species, we collected material from Ireland, England and Belgium then sequenced fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene as well as of the nuclear 28S ribosomal gene. Phylogenetic analyses of both markers confirm that Microniphargus is closer to Pseudoniphargus than to Niphargus, leading us to reallocate Microniphargus to Pseudoniphargidae. We also identify three congruent mito-nuclear lineages present respectively in Ireland, in both Belgium and England, and in England only (with the latter found in sympatry at one location), suggesting that M. leruthi is a complex of at least three species with a putative centre of origin in England.

The Cottage that Kids Built: Jack's Mill School and the significance of architecture for progressive education in New Zealand in the late 1930s
Authors: Wood Peter
Published: December 2021

Even today, the tiny West Coast community of Kōtuku is difficult to find. In 1935, when Edward Darracott arrived to the position of sole teacher at Jack's Mill School, it must have felt very far removed indeed from the rest of New Zealand. Yet here, in what might be described as a Department of Education backwater, Darracott implemented an audaciously progressive educational experiment. Central to his teaching, Darracott embarked on two major projects with his students. The first (and in keeping with an interschool competition at that time) was the design and establishment of a garden. The second project would prove more ambitions. With responsibility for the planning and building passed to the students, Darracott initiated the construction on the school grounds of a three-quarter scale bungalow, complete with furnishings, running water and electricity. The "miniature bungalow" received national attention at the time, and survives today under the care of the Department of Conservation, but outside the interests of back-road tourists, Darracott's educational experiment remains largely neglected. This paper will provide an overview of Darracott's achievements in Kōtuku before focusing attention of the specific architectural interests he activated. This begins with the self-conscious civility on display in the garden, before moving on to the opportunities and consequences of domesticity at work with the cottage itself. Viewed in this way, it is hoped that the isolation of Darracott's achievement (geographically and educationally) will begin to be replaced by a well-informed alignment with international practices of the time. Moreover, it will be shown how these "radical pedagogies" saw architecture as a necessary - perhaps inevitable - tool of implementation.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE CONDITIONS OF SPRAYING LIQUIDS WITH THE AIR FLOW
Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, KOZHEVNIKOVA NATALYA G.
Published: December 2021

The processes of air movement in various types of air ducts are of great practical interest in terms of designing, manufacturing, and installing spraying devices used in agricultural production to create artificial fog with fi ne sprinkling and treat crops from pests and diseases. The authors analyze the existing methods of liquid spraying and reveal their main advantages and disadvantages. Under special attention is the pneumatic method. The study found that this method is used to spray contaminated liquids and the spray quality insignificantly depends on the liquid flow rate. It was revealed that one of the main factors affecting the quality indicators of spraying devices is the dynamic pressure of the gas medium acting on the liquid during its spraying. The research has determined that the dynamic pressure value of the airflow during the liquid movement in a horizontal duct depends on three factors: the presence of additional resistance, estimated by the value of the effective area duct, the position of the point at which the pressure was measured relative to the duct axis and the distance between the measurement point and the airflow source. The experimental data were tested for reproducibility using the Cochran criterion at the 5% signifi cancelevel, which proved the process reproducibility. The research has shown that the presence of additional resistance in the duct and the position of the dynamic pressure measurement point relative to the axis of the duct have the same effect on its value. The dynamic pressure of the airflow is primarily dependent on the remoteness of the measurement point from its source.
ON USING INDICATOR COUNTERS AND NEURAL NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES TO MONITOR THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF ENERGY-SATURATED TRACTORS UNDER THE LEASE
Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, KOSTOMAKHIN MIKHAIL N.
Published: December 2021

Reducing the risks and the equipment ownership costs for the lessor, especially in the post-warranty period, requires developing and implementing a new automated system for equipment maintenance. The article presents an analysis and off ers possibilities of using indicator counters and neural network technologies to monitor the technical condition of energy-rich tractors online. The authors give an example of using a neural network calculator to identify malfunctions in the transmission line and increase the controllability and objectivity of assessing the current technical condition of tractors under the lease. Counters-indicators are built-in express diagnostic tools. Their use helps minimize preparatory operations to determine the technical condition, visualize and analyze parameters for monitoring the technical condition of individual components and units, and increase the operational reliability of equipment under the lease. The use of neural network technology in the technical diagnostics of equipment will generalize the experience of diagnosticians and service experts for fault localization and enable specialists with little experience to assess the technical condition and determine the amount of work needed to eliminate malfunctions, thereby reducing the time and cost of repairs.

Berdasarkan dataset tentang informasi kemiskinan kabupaten/kota tahun 2020 yang dikeluarkan oleh Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia, dipilih variabel bebas sebanyak dua puluh variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Kemudian dilakukan uji korelasi antar variabel bebas tersebut dan diketahui terdapat variabel yang berkorelasi dikategorikan berkorelasi sangat tinggi, dengan nilai korelasi sebesar 0,921 (Persentase Penduduk Miskin - P1 (Poverty Gap Index)) dan 0,964 (P1 (Poverty Gap Index) - P2 (Proverty Severity Index)). Variabel yang memiliki korelasi sangat tinggi jika digunakan akan menyebabkan terjadinya multikolinearitas, sehingga opsi untuk menghilangkan multikolinearitas adalah dengan menggunakan Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Dengan menggunakan Proporsi Kumulatif Varians dan minimum persentase keragaman data sebesar 80% maka didapatkan output berupa dimensi data baru PCA sebanyak tiga dimensi data atau tiga variabel bebas baru. Dengan menggunakan variabel input baru berupa PCA 0, PCA 1 dan PCA 2 dilakukanlah penentuan jumlah cluster dengan metode Silhouette Coefficient dan analisa clustering menggunakan metode K-Means didapatkanlah empat kelompok/cluster, dengan jumlah anggota cluster 1 sebanyak 117 Kabupaten/Kota, cluster 2 sebanyak 154 Kabupaten/Kota, cluster 3 sebanyak 173 Kabupaten/Kota dan cluster 4 sebanyak 70 Kabupaten/Kota.

Salah satu strategi yang diterapkan untuk menganalisis karakteristik pelanggan PT PLN XYZ dalam menggunakan listrik adalah CustomerRelationship Management. Dalam penelitian ini, data pelanggan tersegmentasi adalah pelanggan paskabayar dengan berbagai tarif, daya, konsumsi kWh dan jumlah tagihan listrik di dalamnya. Masing–masing dari variabel tersebut kemudian dikombinasikan, sehinggaterbentuklah segmentasi karakteristik pelanggan PT PLN XYZ berdasarkan variabel tersebut. Hasil dari segmentasi pelanggan, dapatdijadikan dasar untuk menentukan arah kebijakan dalam membuat strategi pelayanan pelanggan yang dipadukan dengan Customer Relationship Management. Dalam riset ini Customer Relationship Management dijadikan sebagai dasar strategi pelayanan pelanggan yang dipadukan dengan hasil segmentasi pelanggan, sehingga arah pengambilan keputusan lebih terarah. Setiap segmentasi mempunyai insightatau proposisi nilai sesuai dengan karakternya masing-masing. Proposisi nilai tersebut dilakukan dengan memahami data segmentasinya, untuk kemudian kita bandingkan dengan karakter konsumsi listriknya. Selanjutnya, dari proposisi nilai segmentasi tersebut dapat diambilarah strategi pelayanan pelanggan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dari segmen-segmen tersebut. Metode untuk segmentasi pelanggan menggunakan algoritma machine learning clustering K-means. Dari hasil segmentasi, terdapat 46 pelanggan merupakan clustering kelas pertama profitable customer dan 19.989 pelanggan merupakan clustering kelas kedua less-profitable customer. Selanjutnya, dilakukan strategi Customer Relationship Management pada tiap segmentasinya. Untuk profitable customer, strategi hubungan pelanggan dilakukan dengan Bisnis to Bisnis dan Customer Business Development, sedangkan untuk less-profitable customer dilakukan Continuous Replenishment program serta Retail Account Marketing. Hasil segmentasi pelanggan tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai data pendukung pengambilan keputusanbisnis di PT PLN XYZ.

Academic institutions adopt different advising tools for various objectives. Past research used both numeric and text data to predict students’ performance. Moreover, numerous research projects have been conducted to find different learning strategies and profiles of students. Those strategies of learning together with academic profiles assisted in the advising process. This research proposes an approach to supplement these activities by text mining students’ essays to better understand different students’ profiles across different courses (subjects). Text analysis was performed on 99 essays written by undergraduate students in three different courses. The essays and terms were projected in a 20-dimensional vector space. The 20 dimensions were used as independent variables in a regression analysis to predict a student’s final grade in a course. Further analyses were performed on the dimensions found statistically significant. This study is a preliminary analysis to demonstrate a novel approach of extracting meaningful information by text mining essays written by students to develop an advising tool that can be used by educators.
A case study of the benefits of the IoT in the Qatari retail industry

Published: December 2021

Technological advancements have led to the creation of new paradigms like the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are moving the digital space into a period where they will power billions of devices leading to the transformations of products and services provided by businesses. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to explore the benefits of deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) in businesses using the case of the Qatari retail businesses. The study assumed an interpretivism research philosophical stance and an addictive approach to theory utilising the Technology, Organisation, Environment model to guide the research. The research data were gathered using a qualitative approach utilising semi-structured interviews as the method of data collection. Accordingly, the heads of information technology in the selected retail industry businesses in Qatar were interviewed to answer the main research questions. The findings uncovered that retailers in Qatar are using the IoT devices such as sensors, scanners, beacons, smart shelves, personalisation alerts, and FRIDs to enable their key business operations and processes. Even though the Qatar retail businesses are not concerned about the specific IoT devices utilised, the benefits of their deployment established from the study include automation of business processes (Technological benefits), efficiency and personalisation of customer requirements (Organisational benefits), and increased collaboration and supply chain optimisation within the entire Qatar retail industry (Environmental benefits). As such, the results of the study agree with the TOE model that technology, organisation, and environment are the driving forces behind technology adoption and utilisation. Finally, among practical implications, a collaboration between software developers and the retail industry project professionals will ensure that the IoT artefacts are designed with security mechanisms, thus enhancing the security and safety of the information gathered from the IoT devices. Further, the study offers guidance on the theoretical elements that contribute to the benefits of utilising the IoT in Qatar retail businesses.
