Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease owing to its close association with coagulant disturbances. However, the precise biological functions and mechanisms that connect coagulation factors to NAFLD pathology remain inadequately understood. Herein, with unbiased bioinformatics analyses followed by functional testing, we demonstrate that hepatic expression of coagulation factor VII (FVII) decreases in patients and mice with NAFLD/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). By using adenovirus-mediated F7-knockdown and hepatocyte-specific F7-knockout mouse models, our mechanistic investigations unveil a noncoagulant function of hepatic FVII in mitigating lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity. This protective effect is achieved through the suppression of fatty acid uptake, orchestrated via the AKT-CD36 pathway. Interestingly, intracellular FVII directly interacts with AKT and PP2A, thereby promoting their association and triggering the dephosphorylation of AKT. Therapeutic intervention through adenovirus-mediated liver-specific overexpression of F7 results in noteworthy improvements in liver steatosis, inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in severely afflicted NAFLD mice. In conclusion, our findings highlight coagulation factor FVII as a critical regulator of hepatic steatosis and a potential target for the treatment of NAFLD and NASH.

O gandhismo e a política externa pós-colonial da Índia: Satyagraha numa realidade internacional hostil
Authors: Costa Lima Felipe
Published: February 2024

Ideais e construções práticas baseadas nas conceções de Mahatma Gandhi têm influenciado ativistas em todo o mundo desde a sua campanha bem-sucedida para libertar a Índia do jugo colonial britânico. Entretanto, as ideias gandhianas são menos consideradas no que concerne ao campo das relações internacionais e, mais especificamente, à política externa indiana. Nesse sentido, este artigo busca compreender a influência do gandhismo na política externa pós-independência da Índia. O artigo começa por explicar a teoria de Gandhi e as suas ideias sobre a ordem internacional para, em seguida, analisar o tipo de influência que as ideias de Gandhi tiveram em determinados períodos da história pós-colonial indiana.

Published: February 2024

O presente estudo objetivou entender como as instituições de ensino  consideraram estratégias educacionais inclusivas para os alunos surdos durante o ensino remoto, dado o isolamento social causado pela pandemia da COVID–19. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos realizou-se por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados evidenciaram que as escolas adotaram medidas emergenciais para garantir que tanto os alunos com deficiência – neste caso, a surdez – quanto os alunos sem deficiência tivessem seus direitos respeitados e que seus estudos pudessem continuar, empregando estratégias para garantir a inclusão e acessibilidade de todos. Concluiu-se que, para que as tecnologias assistivas sejam eficazes, é crucial investir na formação dos professores e garantir que eles tenham acesso aos recursos de que necessitam, efetivando de fato uma educação inclusiva.
A implementação do “Inova Educação” e do “Novo Ensino Médio” na rede estadual de ensino em São Paulo a partir da pandemia
Authors: Rubio Fernanda Eiras , Corti Ana Paula
Published: February 2024

A partir das mudanças educacionais geradas pela BNCC no Brasil, sem a participação das comunidades escolares, foi implementado pela rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo (SP) o Inova Educação durante o contexto da Corona vírus. No período menos crítico da pandemia, foi implementado o Novo Ensino Médio. Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar algumas experiências pedagógicas durante as mudanças curriculares em SP com uma revisão bibliográfica e a metodologia da autoetnografia (VERSIANI, 2013 e SANTOS, 2017). Estas experiências demonstram que apesar desse novo modelo curricular causar grandes prejuízos à educação, é possível ressignificar as imposições do sistema com a autonomia pedagógica assegurada pela LDB. Essa práxis se associa a perspectiva decolonial e, principalmente, ao feminismo crítico autônomo inserido nas práticas políticas coletivas. No feminismo decolonial (LUGONES, 2014) são evidenciadas pedagogias que fortalecem novos caminhos de transformação social (CURIEL, 2018).

This paper presents a machine-learning-based approach that enables simultaneous surrogate modeling and dimension reduction and applies it to aerodynamic parametric shape optimization. Aerodynamic shape optimization is a crucial process in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy. It involves iteratively improving the properties of a system by evaluating an objective function and driving its minimization or maximization using an optimization algorithm. However, the evaluation of aerodynamic objective functions requires computationally expensive operations, such as solving complex fluid dynamics equations and calculating performance metrics like lift and drag coefficients. This computational cost becomes particularly burdensome when derivative-free optimization algorithms need to evaluate numerous samples per iteration. Additionally, when the design space dimension is high, the efficiency and effectiveness of the optimization process decrease. To address these challenges, the paper proposes combining surrogate modeling and dimension reduction. Surrogate modeling constructs a reduced order model that approximates the coefficients of interest in a cost-effective manner, while dimension reduction identifies the most relevant design space dimensions using techniques like Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. The paper suggests an integrative approach that employs Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Unsupervised Learning, specifically AutoEncoder networks, to simultaneously build a surrogate model and reduce the problem dimension. This technique is applied to optimize the shape of an airplane wing aerofoil under trans-sonic flight conditions. The wing shape is parameterized using Free Form Deformation (FFD). The paper demonstrates that the suggested approach enables rapid and effective shape optimization.

This paper focuses on a two-dimensional Leslie–Grower continuous-time stochastic predator–prey system with Lévy jumps. Firstly, we prove that there exists a unique positive solution of the system with a positive initial value. Then, we establish sufficient conditions for the mean stability and extinction of the considered system. Numerical algorithms of higher order are elaborated. The obtained results show that Lévy jumps significantly change the properties of population systems.

Published: February 2024

The using of edible weeds in the diet of the people living in rural areas of Anatolia is quite common. Due to the awareness of natural and organic nutrition, the using of wild herbs has tended to increase in cities in recent years. In this study, it was aimed to determine the wild herbs consumed as edible food by the people in Isparta region, which has an important place in terms of plant diversity, and the consumption patterns of these herbs. This study, which was carried out in 2022 and 2023, was conducted face-to-face interviews with 100 local people in order to determine the plants consumed as traditional food by the people of Isparta. Wild plants consumed by the people of Isparta were collected and identified. In accordance with the data obtained, 23 wild edible plant taxa belonging to 15 families were determined. Questionnaire forms were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that individuals and women between the ages of 45-65 were mainly interested in and knowledge about wild herbs and that the majority of the local people knew naturally growing plants. It has been also determined that they have knowledge about edible and non-edible wild herbs, in which period and which parts of wild herbs should be collected (flowers, leaves, roots, stems, etc.) and they had esperience how to consume it (boiling, roasting, drying, tea, etc.).
The development of student societies in Eastern Galicia from the second half of the XIX century to the first half of the ХХ century in the historical and legal context
Authors: Tserkovnyk S. I.
Published: February 2024

The article raises the question of the historical and legal analysis of the development of Ukrainian societies and unions, which are outlined by the concept of «unification» of Eastern Galicia in the second half of the 19th - the first half of the 20th centuries. This study is highlighted through the prism of founding documents, through which you can see the structure of these associations, based on the legal basis and specifics of their activities. The main tasks of the student societies of that time are highlighted: to maintain the reading room and library on their own; to hold literary and scientific events; to organize literary, scientific and theatrical gatherings; to help its members financially. Every valid member of the Society was obliged to pay membership fees. Although Ukrainian student associations were founded outside Galicia, for example in Vienna, they spread their activities to Eastern Galicia, trying to create a number of branches in the western Ukrainian lands and being guided in their activities by official documents issued by the Austrian authorities. And indeed, «conceived as a purely student society, the Viennese Sich actually became the first statutory organization of Galician narodivites. Student youth also played an important role in the creation of the «Prosvita» society. However, this organization did not become the main focus of the student movement. Already in 1860-1870, students focused their main efforts on the formation of a new center for their scientific and social life. As a result, two Ukrainian student societies appeared in 1871: «Academic Circle» and «Friendly Moneylender». The life of the Ukrainian student societies of the Lviv Polytechnic was much calmer, because there was a much more liberal atmosphere. For political conflicts on ethnic grounds, there was a lack of a fertile environment, which was provided by the social sciences at the university. In addition, Lviv doctors participated in the education of the rural population. The special commission of the Medical Society together with Prosvita organized popular medical lectures in the villages. Together with the director of Narodna Lichnitsa, Dr. Yevhen Ozarkevich, and the Lviv branch of Prosvita, Ukrainian medical students organized medical educational activities.
Social destruction of the most vulnerable categories of citizens in Ukraine
Authors: Miller A. O.
Published: February 2024

The research was aimed at determining how the rights of minors and individuals caring for children under the age of three are protected by the state.

The type of guaranteed state allowance known as childbirth assistance will be thoroughly examined in detail.

Due to the fact that assistance for childcare until the child reaches the age of three was excluded according to the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Financial Catastrophe and Creation of Preconditions for Economic Growth in Ukraine” adopted in 2014, it was replaced by childbirth assistance.

This Law was approved and signed by 253 individuals and 29 committees of the Supreme Council of Ukraine. The law was recognized as constitutional according to the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which was agreed by 15 judges. In connection with this, the Constitution of Ukraine and Article 442, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding genocide were violated. It involves intentional actions aimed at the complete or partial destruction of any national, ethnic, racial, or religious group by creating living conditions for the group designed for its complete or partial physical destruction, reducing childbirth, or preventing it within such a group. In the explanatory note to this Law, the Minister of Finance of Ukraine noted that the establishment of a single amount of the childbirth allowance and the cancellation of the childcare allowance for children up to 3 years old will save about 3.5 billion hryvnias, which will be directed towards social protection of the most vulnerable categories of citizens.

But after adoption of this law, aid payments are no longer regulated by the minimum subsistence level, which increases every year. Inflation and annual increases in prices for food and utilities are ignored. Payments become fixed. Part 3 of Article 46 of the Constitution of Ukraine is violated, which states that types of social benefits and assistance, which are the main source of existence, should ensure a standard of living not lower than the subsistence minimum established by law. The adoption of this law creates the conditions for social destruction of the nation as a whole, the genocide of the population.

Therefore, this study will thoroughly analyze who exactly signed this law and what consequences it has already brought to society.
The current state of legal protection of the labor rights of employees in case of insolvency of the employer or change of owner of the legal entity
Authors: Rylyova V. V.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the study of legal support for the protection of labor rights of employees in case of insolvency of the employer or change of the owner of the legal entity in today’s realities. After all, employees are one of the least protected subjects of labor relations, and therefore they need guarantees of protection of their rights from both the employer and the state. Especially today, when the impact of the financial crisis on the economy of Ukraine, as a result of the war with the Russian aggressor, led to the unstable state of the state, most enterprises, organizations and institutions found themselves in a difficult financial situation, which in turn negatively affected the social and material security of employees. Therefore, the priority area becomes the protection of labor rights of employees and their social position, in particular in case of insolvency of the employer or change of the owner of the legal entity. Current and projected regulatory legal acts in the field of protection of labor rights of employees in case of insolvency of the employer or change of owner of a legal entity, court practice regarding labor disputes related to dismissal under Clause 1 of Art. 40 of the Labor Code of Ukraine. It was concluded that Ukraine, as a state that aspires to membership in the European Union, should also pay attention to the issue of protecting the rights and interests of workers as subjects who ensure the well-being of their families through their own work. Since the protection of labor rights of employees is an important component of a democratic, legal and social society. Especially today, when the problem of unemployment in Ukraine is growing, persons who have lost the opportunity to work should be socially protected. At the same time, in addition to making changes to labor legislation, adopting new laws in this area, there must be clearly developed mechanisms for their implementation.
The issue of increasing legal responsibility for environmental damage
Authors: Kuznetsova M. Yu. , Vovnytskyi A. V.
Published: February 2024

Protection of nature, during an armed conflict, should be recognized as an absolute value. The result of the Russian military aggression in Ukraine was the large-scale destruction of the living environment, massive pollution of the land, atmosphere and water environment with the use of methods and means of conducting military operations aimed at causing great and long-term damage. The brutality of the Russian Federation’s military invasion of Ukraine led to dire humanitarian consequences and serious environmental damage. Ukraine will be left with a toxic environmental legacy for future generations. Based on this, our state is obliged to create a sufficiently clear legal field at the national level, which would include responsibility for causing damage to the environment. The imposition of legal responsibility for offenses in the field of environmental protection should be a signal that such behavior is unacceptable.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution on the negative impact of war on nature, which defined the crime of “ecocide”. The resolution recognizes the need to amend the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court by adding a new criminal act. The article analyzes the provisions of the current criminal legislation on ecocide. Taking into account the negative experience of Ukraine during the conduct of military operations, it can be stated that the environment has a direct, primary impact on the life and health of people and all living beings, which are recognized as the highest value. Damage to the environment, as a result, leads to the deterioration of the conditions of existence of all types of flora and fauna. That is why the offense of ecocide needs to be distinguished in international legal acts on a level with such crimes as genocide, crimes against humanity, acts of aggression and war crimes.

Authors: Hidenko Y. S.
Published: February 2024

The scientific article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of prospective legislation in the field of organization of service training of employees of the security sector in order to ensure their tactical literacy. The growing threat of internal and external security challenges calls into question the effectiveness and relevance of existing legislation in this area. The author analyzes the existing legal norms and provisions that regulate the training of security sector forces in the context of tactical literacy, in particular, the structure of training, requirements for instructors and training programs.

The article also examines the challenges facing current legislation, such as changes in the technological environment, global terrorist threats and the complexity of the tasks facing security sector forces. The authors try to identify shortcomings and gaps in the legislative framework, which can become an obstacle to achieving a high level of tactical literacy of employees.

In this context, the author emphasizes the need to review and modernize the legislative acts that regulate the activities of the security forces. They emphasize the importance of adapting legal norms to the rapidly changing technological environment, which creates new opportunities and threats. In addition, the article discusses the need to improve the mechanisms of cooperation and exchange of information between various bodies and countries to combat global terrorist threats.

The author also analyzes the complex tasks facing the forces of the security sector and which can be solved by implementing modern training methods and improving the professional training of employees. They put forward proposals for the development of educational programs that would include relevant knowledge and skills necessary for successfully solving tasks in the field of security.

A comparative analysis with the legislation of other countries is carried out and best practices are studied regarding the organization of official training of security sector forces. The author considers possible ways to improve the legislation in this area in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the tactical literacy of employees.
Effectiveness of the mechanism of goal-setting norms of administrative law: concept, essence and meaning
Authors: Kantor N. Yu.
Published: February 2024

Based on the analysis of various approaches, theoretical and legal ideas regarding the effectiveness of the goal-setting mechanism of administrative law norms have been determined, and the author’s point of view has been expressed on some fundamental aspects of the problem.

It is noted that the author is a supporter of the so-called complex approach, according to which the evaluation of any phenomenon from the point of view of its effectiveness has a multifaceted orientation. At the same time, it should be noted that, taking into account the specificity and content of the mechanism of goal-setting norms of administrative law, the basis of such an assessment is the priority approach, according to which the analysis of the achievement of real final results by the mechanism of goal-setting norms of administrative law, embodied in the legal consequences of the implementation of norms, is carried out . At the same time, among the aspects of such an analysis there is a block of social and economic evaluations, where the priority of one or another aspect in one or another case is determined depending on the nature, level, or direction of one or another group of norms of administrative law that is subject to evaluation - that is, it is the direct subject of evaluation on efficiency.

It is emphasized that the effectiveness of the goal-setting mechanism of administrative law is not limited by social or economic aspects. This mechanism can be evaluated for political purposes (determines the effectiveness of the goal-setting mechanism in terms of the state’s ability to perform internal and external functions, etc.); psychological (evaluates the ability of the goal-setting mechanism to ensure the perception of the norms of administrative law by their addressees); conflict (determines the ability of the goal-setting mechanism to influence the level of conflict in society as a whole, in a certain social group, team, etc.) and other aspects.

It has been established that the effectiveness of the goal-setting mechanism of administrative law norms is a complex category that includes a set of criteria and indicators that determine the level of achievement by the process of formulating and adjusting the goals of administrative law norms of specific social, economic, political or other results, which is manifested as a result of the implementation of the specified norms.
Theoretical and legal mechanism for evaluating the results of regulatory influence in the agricultural sector
Authors: Kytsenko O. P.
Published: February 2024

The article examines specific issues of the effectiveness of legislative regulation of evaluating the results of regulatory influence as an important element of state regulatory policy in the field of agricultural activity in the context of the existence of a tendency to increase the number of legislative and by-laws as state regulatory instruments. The expediency of assessing the possible consequences of active law-making activities, in particular their impact on the economic efficiency of the agricultural sector, is determined. It is proposed to define the assessment of the regulatory impact in the agricultural sector as an impact aimed at improving the legal regulation of agrarian-economic relations, as well as administrative relations between regulatory bodies or other state authorities and subjects of agrarian management, and the purpose of such an assessment is defined. The expediency of including the studied term in the Law of Ukraine «On the principles of state regulatory policy in the field of economic activity» is substantiated. Based on the analysis of foreign experience in assessing the results of regulatory influence, it is proposed in the science of domestic administrative law to separate such an assessment into an independent procedure related to the process of development, justification and adoption of normative legal acts in the state policy system. It is proposed to shift the assessment emphasis to the deregulation of relations in the economic sphere with the mandatory consideration of the needs of small, medium and large subjects of the agrarian sector, as well as the determination of the related advantages for various social groups of the rural population. A number of proposals of a theoretical and methodological nature regarding the improvement of the regulatory impact assessment procedure have been provided.
Comparative legal analysis of language use regulation in Ukraine and European countries
Authors: Kovtun M. S. , Vozniuk M. V. , Brovchenko V. M.
Published: February 2024

The article analyses the functioning of the State language in the public authorities and local self-government bodies of Ukraine, pays attention to the ensuring by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, local and appellate courts of the rights of a person who does not know the State language or speaks sign language, considers the implementation of functions by civil servants to ensure fundamental human rights and freedoms, and also examines the issue of observance of the fundamental language rights of national minorities in Ukraine, in particular in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, for review. A comparative analysis of the functioning of state languages in European countries was also carried out. The author examines the use of the state language when submitting appeals, emphasising that from now on, the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» is the legal act regulating the language of citizens’ appeals, according to which a person may submit the necessary documents for the proceedings in the state or another language, but in this case, the person is obliged to translate the appeal into Ukrainian. Cases of conflicts between the old and new legislation in the field of filing appeals are identified. The author analyses the regulatory and legal ways to ensure the implementation of functions in such public spheres as education, science, culture, sports, labour relations, television and radio broadcasting, print media, book publishing and distribution, advertising, healthcare, office work, and document management.

The author focuses on the legal framework of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in terms of protection of the rights of national and ethnic minorities. The author examines the issues of language policy in different countries, in particular in Spain, Switzerland and France, and in the context of protection of the rights of national and ethnic minorities, and concludes that the trend in most European countries is to try to balance the protection of minority rights and preserve linguistic diversity in the context of each country. The author emphasises that the State language plays a crucial role in the formation of the nation and the functioning of the State, primarily through its communicative, identification, ethnic and other functions.
Legal view on the concept of optimum models of public-private partnership in the security sector of Ukraine
Authors: Mekh Yu. V.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the study of public-private partnership in the security sector of Ukraine. It was established that public-private partnership is the highest form of interaction (cooperation) between the state and society, characterized by the involvement and exchange of resources provided by the non- state sector in order to increase innovation and efficiency in the public sector, as well as the development of certain areas.

Attention is drawn to the fact that despite the fact that the Law of Ukraine «On Public-Private Partnership» does not single out the security sector as an area where interaction between the state and society is possible, the analysis of current legislation in the defense sphere and daily practice shows that the security sector is also sphere of implementation of public-private partnership. It is specified that a) the security of the state is a good that is necessary for the proper and full functioning of society; b) the sphere of state security contributes to the provision of public interest, which determines the need for proper interaction of the private and public sectors; c) the field of security, within which the public-private partnership is implemented, includes cyber security, public safety, protection of critical infrastructure facilities, border security and territorial integrity of Ukraine, etc.

It is established that the study of public-private partnership models is impossible without taking into account the experience of the United States of America (Anglo-American legal system) and the European Union (Romano-Germanic legal system). It was concluded that the most optimal models of public-private partnership in the security sector for Ukraine are 1) implementation of priority projects in the field of infrastructure of local and state importance through the tender procedure (practice of the United States of America); 2) attraction of state assets by private companies, which makes it possible to implement many joint projects in the field of security (practice of the European Union); 3) contract for management and operation (of the European Union); 4) concession agreement.
The role of national police bodies v preventions and countermeasures for household violence
Authors: Moroz O. B. , Khatniuk Yu. A.
Published: February 2024

The article examines whether the National Police, as a public authority, implements special measures to prevent and counter domestic violence, using, if necessary, measures of administrative coercion against offenders. The National Police bodies are directly charged with the duty of detecting facts of domestic violence, with subsequent response to them. An important aspect of improving the performance of the National Police is to establish trust with the affected families, who are afraid to come forward about the facts of domestic violence due to fear of condemnation from society. The authorities of the National Police also carry out preventive activities, together with the public, to provide the society with relevant information on the prevention and counteraction of domestic violence.

The problem of domestic violence is not new, it has existed since the beginning of humanity, since the beginning of communities and concepts of family customs. But the fact that today some countries have learned to adequately deal with this problem, and some are simply silent about it, does not mean that the problem does not exist at all. The adoption of the new Law of Ukraine “On Prevention and Combating Domestic Violence” in 2018 is a significant change for the better, but for it to work fully, a lot of effort from the entire population of the country must be made. The legal basis of the National Police’s activity in this area is the normative legal acts in the field of prevention and counteraction of domestic violence - officially formalized results of the subject’s will in the field of prevention and counteraction of domestic violence, carried out unilaterally and entailing legal consequences.

The following are the authorized divisions of the National Police bodies for the prevention and counteraction of domestic violence:

precinct police officers and community police officers;

juvenile prevention police officers;

patrol police units and patrol police response groups;

investigation and inquiry units;

domestic violence counteraction sectors and mobile response groups to incidents of domestic violence.
Concept of principles of administrative proceedings and their system
Authors: Ostashchenko A. S.
Published: February 2024

The article defines the principles of administrative proceedings. Attention is focused on the fact that ensuring consideration and resolution of public-law conflicts, which are the subject of an appeal to an administrative court, should be based on the application of the established system of principles of administrative justice. It is noted that without observing the principles, it is impossible to achieve the unity of judicial practice. The author substantiated that the meaning and essence of the principles of administrative proceedings in the modern conditions of European integration must be considered by comparing them with the category of principles of law and principles of public administration.

Conventionally, the principles of administrative proceedings in the system of principles of law are classified as sectoral and inter-sectoral principles. The author justifies that the principles of the judiciary should be understood as guiding principles (ideas), the implementation of which helps to solve the tasks of the judiciary, to ensure the effectiveness of its means and methods. Administrative justice is characterized by the presence of special tasks, the main of which is the protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms against the arbitrariness of officials and officials of state authorities and local self-government bodies. It is the principles of the judiciary that must be implemented in a close relationship and interdependence; only the unity of implementation of judicial principles determines their ability to properly settle public legal disputes and conflicts. Each principle of administrative justice has its own clear purpose regarding the organization and operation of courts. All principles are mutually conditioned, they cannot be considered without taking into account the general unity. They act together, closely intersect, pass into each other and flow from each other. This can be explained by the fact that all principles are united by one common goal, namely, the proper organization of judicial bodies and their effective activity. Taken together, all principles create a certain system of basic principles of administrative proceedings. The system of principles of the judicial process is a complex of grouped provisions, which are characterized by the unity of goals and tasks of a set of independent in their content, but interrelated and objectively determined principles, forming precisely in this set such a qualitative unity, without which the corresponding type of judicial procedure loses its sense. The principles of administrative proceedings are the basis for all other rules in the administrative process, and therefore there should be exactly as many of them as the present requires.
Privacy by design. User-held data model as a basis for Privacy and Personal Data protection in social networks
Authors: Prystai R. A.
Published: February 2024

The article reveals the concept and features of privacy by design approach. An analysis of the legislation of the European Union, which regulates the obligation to comply with mentioned concept, namely the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, was carried out. Within the framework of the concept of privacy by design, the concepts and pecularities of using user-held data model are studied, which aims to change the legal regulation and technical support of information security as well as the security of personal data in social networks.

In order to achieve the goal of the research, the need to introduce the specified model of data protection was analyzed – namely practical problems of personal data protection within the peculiarities of the market of social network service providers. The need of the interpretation of personal data as an object of property right was outlined, as well as the interpretation of the purpose of the meta data itself as personal information about a person that can be used to recognize or track a person separately or in combination with other information, which is directly stated in the OMB Act No. A-130, however, is neither interpreted similarly in the Data Protection Regulation nor in the legislation of Ukraine. The main advantages of implementing a user-held data model are presented, namely the advantages for data owners, businesses, the state, and cloud service providers for providing and maintaining the model.

Legislation in the field of personal data protection in the EU, in particular in the field of social networks, is more complex at the supranational and national level. It is provided with a separate regulatory and organizational mechanisms, which are different from the one that exists today in Ukraine. The mechanism for the protection of personal data in the European Union provides the creation of independent public authority that is responsible for the implementation and compliance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. The article highlights the need to create a single separate body in the field of personal data protection in Ukraine, which will be able to perform the function of monitoring and ensuring compliance with the requirements of the relevant legislation, in particular, compliance with privacy by design.
Problems of tax legislation in the conditions of martial law
Authors: Tatyanchenko O. A.
Published: February 2024

The question of reforming the tax system is becoming increasingly urgent in the conditions of martial law and inevitable. The tax system is the basis of the country’s economic development. The level of social development, indicators of GDP growth, the number of working enterprises and investments in the country are a complete reflection of the state of the country’s tax system. Martial law requires immediate changes to the tax legislation adapted to the prevailing conditions.

Since the beginning of the war, the first emergency changes to tax legislation have been adopted, but the impact of martial law on the economy is extremely dynamic, which requires flexible tax legislation that provides for the rapid transformation of the tax system to any conditions, that is, a universal and stable system of laws that is able to respond to any changes in the country.

But a very big problem arose between balancing the development of the economy and ensuring the country’s defense system. The business has significantly reduced economic activity, has problems with working capital, closes and goes into the shadows. The state tried to stimulate business activity, including through taxes. But the low effectiveness of the tax policy of the state under the conditions of war is a problem today.

Martial law is a trigger for introducing tax reforms in Ukraine. In August of last year, the project of the “10-10-10” program was presented, which provides for a reduction to 10% of the key tax rates – VAT (now – 20%), on the income of individuals (18%) and on the profit of enterprises (18%). Also, the reform provides for the cancellation of EUV and tax benefits and the establishment of the military levy at the level of 3% (instead of 1.5%).
Perfection as a value-regulatory principle of ethics of humanism and Renaissance culture of the 14th-16th centuries
Authors: Semenov A. M.
Published: February 2024

The article presents and systematizes the fundamental concepts of a philosophical approach to the human perfection in the European spiritual culture of the 14th-16th centuries, namely, in the philosophical pursuits during the period of the Italian Renaissance and the establishment of civic humanism. The research is focused on the basic trends in the inception of the idea of human perfection as well as on its characteristics. Under the analysis are the essential traits of the philosophy of man in the treatises of a number of distinguished thinkers of the period of European Renaissance of the 14th-16th centuries. The article argues that the issues of the free will, natural structure, harmony as well as individual and social dialectics are indicative of a broad spectrum of the Philosophy of Man in the spiritual culture of the 14th-16th centuries. These issues point to the emergence and moulding of a social person, a citizen and a legal entity.

A special emphasis in the research is laid on the importance and the need to seek the standards and ideals of human life and to provide a philosophical and ethical search for the implementation of the principles of human life and the revival of the standards of human perfection in its universal ascension to the ultimate truths.

The author offers his own assessment of the formation and development of the issues related to a perfectly wise human being. The concusions are drawn pertaining to the evolution of the philosophy of man in the spiritual culture of the 14th-16th centuries.

The author comes to the conclusion that, in general, the divine in human nature and man in the divine continuum in all the beauty of self-expression and harmony is one of the main elements of philosophical reflections on perfection as a valuable universe of humanistic ethics. Perfection as an invariant function of a person’s self-regulation in a degree comparison received much less development next to the ethical-aesthetic and spiritual foundations of the formation, development and regeneration of the Renaissance man.

As a spiritual-intellectual, aesthetic, psychological complex, humanism was characteristic of the worldview and worldview of certain strata of society, in which the principle of perfection was a practical-humanistic regulatory-value principle. The function of theoretical internalization of the person in the philosophy of humanism undoubtedly had a place. The problems of free will, natural organization, harmony, the dialectic of the individual and the social testify to a wide range of intra-subjective philosophical analysis in the systems of the 11th and 11th centuries, and, at the same time, philosophical and ethical searches were aimed at realizing the principles of human life, on the revival of standards of human perfection in his universal ascent to higher truths.
