Legal opinion of the Supreme Court as a source of judicial lawmaking
Authors: Bernaziuk O.O. 
Published: December 2023

The article reveals the modern concept of legal opinion of the Supreme Court as a source of judicial law-making. The author reviewed scientific approaches to understanding the place and role of court precedent in general and its presence in the legal system of Ukraine. It has been clarified which features of the legal position of the Supreme Court give it the properties of a judicial precedent, and also the ever-increasing importance of knowledge and use of the legal positions of the Supreme Court in the activities of all civil servants, lawyers, as well as representatives of other professions who apply the relevant norms in their work has been proven legislation.
It has been proven that the legal opinion of the Supreme Court is the result of judicial law­making. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, the author concluded that judicial law-making in modern conditions is gaining weight, although it remains a very debatable issue. It is argued that judicial law-making should be considered in broad and narrow senses. It was found that in a broad sense, judicial law-making is the formation of conclusions by courts of all instances during the administration of justice in order to eliminate gaps in legislative regulation in the absence of a law regulating disputed legal relations. It is proved that in a narrow sense, judicial law-making is the law-making of the Supreme Court, the result of which is the formation of a judicial precedent (legal opinion).
The author substantiates the opinion that the binding of courts during the consideration of a case by a specific way of applying the rule of law, determined in the decisions of the courts of cassation instance (court precedents) in similar legal relations, applies not only to the system of common law, but also to the states belonging to the continental systems of law. It has been proven that the binding nature of the Supreme Court's conclusions for courts of all instances should be based on the necessary balance between the independence of judges and ensuring the unity and stability of judicial practice.
Guarantees of protection of personal data of conscripts during their use in state registers for military registration
Authors: Boyko B.V. 
Published: December 2023

It is indicated that the guarantees of protection of personal data of conscripts are a system of conditions, principles, legal and organizational means established by law, which ensure the protection of information or a set of information about a person-conscript, who is identified or can be specifically identified for the purpose of implementation by such persons constitutional rights and freedoms in legal relations arising during mobilization training and/or mobilization.
The author emphasized that the need to make operational and immediate decisions significantly reduces the potential of the principle of scientificity, the observance and consideration of which is important on the way to the development of the most optimal solution. In particular, in such a difficult situation, in which vital decisions have to be made, quite natural questions arise in the area of timeliness, adequacy of such decisions, their compliance with the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. In the author's opinion, one of the similar issues is the search for ways to ensure the protection of personal data of conscripts during their use in state registers for military registration.
Legal and organizational ways aimed at ensuring the protection of personal data of conscripts and other persons during their receipt, processing and use by electronic register tools are proposed, in particular: amend the draft law aimed at avoiding the exchange of data between state registers and their owners and administrators as such, which contradicts the Constitution and laws of Ukraine; clearly define the list of persons (as well as the professional requirements for them) with the right of access to the electronic register in order to reduce the negative impact of the so-called human factor of illegal use or "negligent leakage” of personal data from the register's information bases; by analogy with positive foreign experience, publish certificates and detailed technical information (including the source code) of the corresponding software product, which should confirm the high technical level of protection of the electronic information and telecommunications system; provide for administrative and criminal liability for illegal receipt, distribution and use of personal data of conscripts and other persons, illegal interference in the work of the electronic register, etc.
Methodological approaches to the study of the legislative foundations of the organization and functioning of the system of alternative ways of resolving public legal disputes and conflicts
Authors: Stebelev A.M. 
Published: December 2023

The article states that the sphere of resolving public-law disputes and conflicts is insufficiently regulated and indicates that it requires further adoption of relevant legislative acts or amendments to current acts in this area. At the same time, it is noted that within the limits of improving the legislative regulation of the organization and functioning of the integrated system, the use of alternative methods of solving public-law disputes and conflicts should be based on a number of methodological dominants. Among them, it should be highlighted that there is an objective lag of the legislator from the needs of the dynamic development of social relations. In the sphere of formation of a complete system of alternative ways of solving public-law disputes and conflicts, this state of affairs is especially inherent, since there is a significant dynamic formation of new ways, rules, techniques, forms and methods of dispute resolution. In addition, a complex system formation that includes a set of various alternative ways of resolving public-law disputes and conflicts is currently not fully developed from the point of view of scientific research, each of the ways (forms, methods) of which has its own specificity, which needs its own a special approach to legislative regulation. At the same time, the application of innovative approaches, which are essentially those implemented within the framework of the system of alternative ways of resolving public-law disputes and conflicts, also require a corresponding approach to the application of the latest rules and techniques of legal (legislative) technology. Within the limits of legislative regulation, it should be taken into account that the institution of alternative methods of solving public-law disputes and conflicts is not an invention of the domestic legal system, but instead arose and found its active development in foreign countries.
It has been established that today there is insufficient regulation of the sphere of solving public­law disputes and conflicts. In this regard, it requires the further adoption of relevant legislative acts, or the introduction of changes to the current acts in this area. But at the same time, it is necessary to proceed from the need to observe a number of methodological approaches and key dominants regarding the improvement of the legislative regulation of the organization and the functioning of a holistic system of applying alternative methods of solving public-law disputes and conflicts.

Published: December 2023

Aims
Training in congenital cardiac surgery has become more and more difficult because of the reduced opportunities for trainees in the operating room and the high patient anatomical variability. The aim of this study was to perform a pilot evaluation of surgical simulation on a simple 3D-printed heart model in training of young surgeons and its potential inclusion in the curriculum of residency programs.

Methods
A group of 11 residents performed a surgical correction of aortic coarctation using a 3D-printed surgical model. After teaching the surgical procedure, a simulation was performed twice, at different times, and was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively by a senior surgeon. A 3D model-based training program was then developed and incorporated into our cardiac surgery training program.

Results
A significant improvement in surgical technique was observed between the first and second surgical simulations: median of 65% [interquartile range (IQR) = 61–70%] vs. 83% (IQR = 82–91%, P < 0.001). The median time required to run the simulation was significantly shorter during the second simulation: 39 min (IQR = 33–40) vs. 45 min (IQR = 37–48; P = 0.02). Regarding the simulation program, a basic and an advanced program were developed, including a total of 40 different simulated procedures divided into 12 sessions.

Conclusion
Surgical simulation using 3D-printing technology can be an extremely valuable tool to improve surgical training in congenital heart disease. Our pilot study can represent the first step towards the creation of an integrated training system on 3D-printed models of congenital and acquired heart diseases in other Italian residency programs.
‘Am I Sincere about My Feelings?’: Changes in Multilinguals’ Self-perceptions when Discussing Emotional Topics in Different Languages
Authors: Panicacci Alex , Dewaele Jean-Marc 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The first language (L1) is generally considered by multilinguals as the one in which they feel more ‘themselves’ in emotional circumstances. Affective socialization in a foreign language (LX) can help speakers develop a similar level of authenticity when using that language. This study is conducted on a sample of 468 migrants living in Anglophone countries who are L1 speakers of Italian and LX speakers of English, the language of the host society. The objective is to verify if the frequency of use for expressing emotions and the perceived emotional resonance of both languages can predict changes in migrants’ self-perceptions when discussing emotional topics in the LX. Survey data revealed that the emotional resonance of the L1 was the only factor increasing participants’ sense of feeling different when using the LX in emotional conversations. Narratives from 5 interviews and 303 answers to an open-ended survey question suggested that these self- perceptions varied extensively according to the intensity and type of emotion expressed.
Reflexivity in Translation: A Multi-layered, Dialogic, and Self-reflexive Process
Authors: Tosi Paola 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Translation theory and practice cannot be separated since the selection process implemented while translating implies a certain level of reflexivity that reflects the translator’s approach to practice.
This article aims at investigating the different types of reflexivities categorised by Lynch and their application to translation practice. In particular, the English into Italian translation of the report on theatre From Live to Digital performed by the writer will be analysed, and examples of the translation process will be presented in light of the many layers of reflexivities involved.
Specifically, hermeneutic and standpoint reflexivities will be explored considering the issue of ethnocentric violence and the quest for foreignization. Furthermore, conceiving reflexivity as an inward turn and a dialogic process, translators come to know their “Self” and the “Other,” which results in the creation of something creative. Translation being a form of creative writing resulting from a dialog is referred to as responsive translation, implying the translator’s unique sensitivity and interpretation.
In conclusion, a reflexive approach in translation practice generates an ethical response to the source text because of a thorough self-investigation of the translator’s stance, differently from translations performed by software that don’t undergo a reflexive process at the time being.
The Role of the Scientist’s Personal Brand in the Reflexive Construction of Organizational Identity
Authors: Dziedzic Justyna , Sułkowski Łukasz 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Our purpose in this article is to explore the phenomenon of scientist’s personal brand (SPB) to better understand the relationship between organizational culture, institutional identity, and a scientist’s (self-) image. In doing so, we used Hatch and Schultz’s model of the dynamic of organizational identity which links culture and image via four processes: 1) mirroring – where identity is mirrored in the image of others; 2) reflecting – where identity is embedded in cultural understanding; 3) expressing – where culture makes itself known through identity claims; and 4) impressing – where expressions of identity leave impressions on others. Qualitative research methods, based on individual In-depth interviews (IDI) with eleven scientists who represented public and private institutions in Poland, allowed the authors to examine and develop the concept of SPB within the context of an organizational identity approach. We found from the IDI four recurring themes: the idea that SPB reflects cultural understanding, mirrors images of others’ expressions of identity, leaves impressions on others, and is constructed through scientists’ reflexive practices.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study demonstrates how algorithms can assist humans in decision-making in the apparel industry. A two-stage method including suggestions and intelligent forecasting was proposed. In the first stage, a web crawler was used to browse a B2C apparel website to identify popular products. In the second stage, machine learning methods were used to predict the sales demand for new products. Additionally, we used Google Trends to collect external information indices to adjust the demand forecasting. Our numerical study shows that the intelligent forecasting approach can effectively reduce the Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) by at least 45.79, 26.35, and 26.34 %, respectively.
The global cross-border mergers and acquisitions network between 1990 and 2021
Authors: Brózda-Wilamek Dominika 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The literature is characterized by a lack of research analyzing cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBM&A) as a network. This article aims to evaluate the topology properties (the geographical and sectoral structure) of the global CBM&A network in 1990–2021. A quantitative study is conducted by using the social network analysis (SNA) method. The countries’ structural power in this global system is measured by the centrality indicators. From a geographical perspective, the study shows that in 1990–2021, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and France occupied the most central place in the network. From the beginning of the 21st century, there has also been a marked increase in the importance of Asian countries, with China and India receiving a large inflow of foreign capital. In turn, entities from Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and China invested heavily abroad through M&A. The Asian countries’ economies also played the role of important intermediaries in the global CBM&A network. From a sectoral perspective, it can be stated that in 1990–2021, mainly entities operated in the financial, industrial, basic materials, technology, and consumer cyclical sectors made transactions in the global CBM&A network. They were also the main investment targets within this network.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes are significant contributors to global non-communicable disease-related mortality. Integrated care, centred on person-centred principles, aims to enhance healthcare quality and access, especially for vulnerable populations. This study investigates integrated care for these diseases in Slovenia, providing a comprehensive analysis of facilitators and barriers influencing scalability.

Methods
Qualitative methods, including focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, were employed in line with the grounded theory approach. Participants represented various levels (micro, meso and macro), ensuring diverse perspectives. Data were collected from May 2019 to April 2020, until reaching saturation. Transcripts were analysed thematically using NVivo software.

Results
Nine categories emerged: Governance, Health financing, Organisation of healthcare, Health workforce, Patients, Community links, Collaboration/Communication, Pharmaceuticals, and Health information systems. Some of identified barriers were political inertia and underutilisation of research findings in practice; outdated health financing system; accessibility challenges, especially for vulnerable populations; healthcare workforce knowledge and burnout; patients’ complex role in accepting and managing their conditions; collaboration within healthcare teams; and fragmentation of health information systems. Peer support and telemedicine were the only two potential solutions identified.

Conclusions
This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of integrated care for hypertension and type 2 diabetes in Slovenia, featuring insights into facilitators and barriers. These findings have implications for policy and practice. Monitoring integrated care progress, refining strategies, and enhancing care quality for patients with these two diseases should be priorities in Slovenia.

ABSTRACT

Background
Although anxiety and depression are important determinants of mental health, the literature in this area is sparse as most studies focus on the period during treatment. Mental health problems can affect cancer recovery as well as quality of life and survival. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Slovenian cancer survivors after treatment and assessed the associated correlates during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
From September 2021 to January 2022, we collected data from 430 breast cancer survivors one to five years after receiving post-local treatment and (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy. We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure anxiety and depression levels. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify factors associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression.

Results
Key findings from this study are increased levels of psychological distress and identification of relevant factors associated with those elevated levels. Approximately one-third of breast cancer survivors exhibited symptoms of elevated anxiety and depression, with one in eight meeting clinical thresholds. Multivariate linear regression revealed that age, lower quality of life, heightened fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), reduced resilience, limited social support, and unmet psychosocial and emotional needs correlated with increased anxiety symptoms. Additionally, lower quality of life, higher FCR, diminished resilience, and limited social support were associated with higher depression symptomatology.

Conclusions
Our study of Slovenian breast cancer survivors one to five years post-treatment observed a significant increase in anxiety and depression symptoms, possibly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The demographic and psychosocial factors identified in this study offer valuable insights for future research. The study emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing the psychological needs of breast cancer survivors and the need to follow them throughout their cancer journey.

Aim. Analysis of the literature and comparative evaluation of data on the effectiveness of instrumental radiological diagnostic methods in patients with suspected OA.Material and methods. A search was made for scientific publications, clinical recommendations, reports of congresses and scientific conferences in the information and analytical systems PubMed, Google Scholar and ELibrary for 2013–2022. by the following keywords: acute appendicitis, diagnosis of acute appendicitis, intestinal ultrasound, computed tomography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, CT and acute appendicitis, MRI for acute appendicitis, radiodiagnosis of appendicitis, radiodiagnosis of intestinal pathology, diagnosis of acute appendicitis, ultrasound, CT, MRI in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. In addition, the literature lists were analyzed to find articles that match the search criteria.Results. 264 articles were analyzed, including publications of scientific conferences and congresses, 50 of which were used to compile the review. From the lists of references, 9 articles for 2020–2022 were additionally included. Search results – blocks of articles were created, within which the material was analyzed to study the questions posed.Conclusion. Each of the radiological methods in the diagnosis of OA has strengths and weaknesses. Knowledge of these features, as well as the equipment of the hospital, can determine the choice of the method of radiation diagnostics in case of suspected OA. An analysis of the literature data on the comparison of the effectiveness of ray methods and the sequence of their application dictates the need to continue research in this direction.
