The French customs authority system is an example of effective combatance against customs offenses for Ukraine
Authors: Polianska Yelyzaveta
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the structure and functioning of French customs authorities, emphasizing their role in combating offenses in the customs sphere and the possibility of adapting their experience for Ukraine. The French customs service consists of several units responsible for various aspects of customs control, from intelligence to investigations and technical support. Special attention is paid to the use of innovative technologies, such as risk analysis systems and «smart borders», which significantly increase the efficiency of customs operations. These technologies allow accurate control of goods, vehicles and passengers, which ensures prevention of customs offenses. The results show that the structure of the French customs authorities, divided into specialized directorates (intelligence, operations, investigations and technical support), significantly contributes to the prevention of fraud, illegal trade and security threats. Active use of risk analysis systems and cooperation with international organizations helps France manage cross-border risks and ensure compliance with European standards. The French model offers a valuable plan for the modernization of the customs service of Ukraine and its integration into European and world standards. On the basis of the analysis of the experience of France, conclusions were drawn regarding the possible directions of development of the Ukrainian customs service, in particular through the introduction of modern technologies, automation of processes and strengthening of international cooperation. The integration of advanced risk management methods and automated control systems will allow Ukraine to improve the transparency, security and efficiency of customs operations, reducing the number of offenses and corruption.
Obtaining samples for examination in criminal proceedings: a comparative analysis
Authors: Tyrlych Yevhenii
Published: November 2024

This article explores the procedures for obtaining samples for examination in criminal proceedings, focusing on the practices in Ukraine, the Netherlands, and France. It aims to identify commonalities and differences in legislative frameworks and procedural practices across these jurisdictions, highlighting their implications for human rights. While the practice of obtaining samples is essential for criminal investigations, it must be balanced with the rights of individuals. The research reveals that while Ukraine’s Criminal Procedure Code outlines sample collection procedures, it lacks detailed regulations that ensure the protection of rights during this process. In contrast, the Dutch and French legal systems provide clearer frameworks and protections, influenced by the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter referred to as the ECHR) rulings.
The ECHR has established important principles regarding the collection of biological samples, emphasizing the necessity of consent and the need to avoid arbitrary interference with individual rights. This comparative analysis underscores the importance of aligning Ukrainian legislation with the ECHR standards to safeguard human rights effectively. The findings suggest the need for a more precise legal framework in Ukraine that differentiates between sample collection and other investigative actions, ensuring transparency and protection of individual rights. Ultimately, the study calls for legislative reforms in Ukraine, inspired by successful practices in the Netherlands and France, to create a more robust and rights-respecting framework for obtaining samples in criminal proceedings.

Published: November 2024

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest level of natural disaster vulnerability in the world due to extreme geographical and climate conditions. In facing this risk, the government has implemented a disaster management policy based on community involvement. One important aspect in this approach is social capital, which includes social participation, interpersonal trust, and community networks, as a crucial component to strengthen community resilience. This study explores the role of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in Lampung Province in developing weather literacy and disaster mitigation programs through digital media to build social capital in the community. The results of the study show that although BMKG has succeeded in increasing community participation through digital channels, community involvement is currently still passive and limited. To achieve comprehensive disaster preparedness, it is necessary to increase active community participation, strengthen trust through two-way communication, and expand community networks. With a social capital-based approach, BMKG is expected to be able to create a more responsive and adaptive mitigation program, making the community an active partner in facing the threat of disasters in the future.

Published: November 2024

Laboratory rats are the second most preferred mammal species in experimental research. Do the frequent lactation periods of the female rats used in production in this study negatively affect the care of the offspring and themselves? For this purpose, the care of mother rats from a conventional outbred Wistar Albino rat colony for themselves and their offspring was monitored in two consecutive lactation periods. Mother rats successfully raised all their offspring in two lactation periods, mothers spent 85% of their daily life in the early phase of the two lactation periods (Post Natal-PN 1-8 days), 60% of their daily life in the mid-lactation phase (PN 9-18 days) and 60% of their daily life in the late lactation phase (PN 19-23 days) have been found to spend 30% of their daily lives with their offspring. While there was a significant difference in terms of the times that mother rats were with their babies in the early, middle, and late stages of the lactation period, the time they were separated from their babies and the frequency of separation (p< .001), no significant difference was found when the same stages of the two lactation periods were compared with each other (p> .05). Live weight change, feed consumption, and water consumption changes of mother rats in two lactation periods were compared and no significant difference was found. It was concluded that there was no negative effect on the care of mother rats and their offspring during frequent lactation periods.

Hydrogeochemistry – A Journey of Discovery
Authors: Wood Warren
Published: November 2024

Understanding the origin of geogenic solutes (dissolved chemical elements unaffected by human activity) in groundwater has broader implications than a traditional water resource investigation. Humans evolved over millions of years drinking water from springs and seeps within a narrow range of solute compositions and concentrations as did nearly all terrestrial animals, fish, and plants. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to sustain this critical solute balance as we utilize this resource. That is best achieved through knowledge of its origin and the mechanisms controlling its ionic concentration and composition. This monograph is written for those individuals who wish for conceptual exposure to groundwater geochemistry. The first five chapters are largely descriptive outlining basic geochemistry conceptually the last three chapters use some simple mass balance techniques to help evaluate potential sources of solutes and use them to address physical aquifer properties.

Forensic medicine plays a pivotal role in modern criminal justice by providing scientific insights that aid in solving crimes, identifying victims, and ensuring the accurate administration of justice. This review examines the current practices in forensic medicine, including autopsies, toxicology, DNA analysis, and forensic anthropology, highlighting their applications in various criminal cases. Technological innovations, such as advanced DNA technologies, digital forensics, and forensic imaging, have significantly enhanced the field, improving accuracy and efficiency in investigations. The review also addresses challenges faced by forensic medicine, including issues of accuracy, resource constraints, and ethical considerations surrounding privacy and consent. The integration of artificial intelligence and portable forensic devices is explored as part of the ongoing evolution within the field. By analyzing the impact of these advancements on case resolutions, exonerations, and crime prevention, this article underscores the critical role of forensic medicine in the justice system and discusses future directions for research and practice. The insights presented aim to inform ongoing improvements in forensic methodologies and to foster a justice system that is both scientifically rigorous and ethically responsible.
