Authors: Aruova L.B. , Jexembayeva A.E. , Konkanov M.D. , Zhaksylykova L.A. 
Published: February 2024

Today in the world there is a huge amount of energy-efficient materials and products, including internal and external load-bearing and enclosing structures of buildings, which allow solving problems of energy saving in the operation of various buildings and structures. However, such materials do not always have high strength, as well as physical and mechanical properties for use in load-bearing parts of a large building. In this regard, the urgent tasks of developing energy-efficient structures and products are increasing strength, reducing thermal conductivity, increasing weather resistance and moisture resistance, as well as reducing cost.
As a result of comprehensive research, the authors have developed new cellular concretes with high strength characteristics, low thermal conductivity and low cost based on local raw materials and waste. This approach leads to a significant reduction in energy and resource consumption and promotes the introduction of environmentally friendly production methods while maintaining high product quality standards.
Experimental studies were carried out in a specially designed laboratory chamber. This installation ensured uniform temperature control inside the chamber, as well as uniform temperature distribution throughout the entire thickness of the products. This was achieved through a rational combination of energy sources used.
The article presents the results of studies of the physical and mechanical properties of foam concrete and the structural features of the material. The production of high-quality products became possible thanks to a combination of mild heat treatment conditions and the exothermic properties of cement. In addition, the impact of additional electrical energy at a minimum consumption (10-20 kWh/m3) on the hardening process of foam concrete is characterized by a periodic and short-term effect. In contrast, traditional heat treatment methods require significantly higher energy consumption - from 80 to 100 kWh/m3.
The results of X-ray and electron microscopy studies confirmed that the developed energy-efficient materials have high physical and mechanical properties and low cost.

The concept and importance of settlement agreements in commercial proceedings
Authors: Vasylenko M. Ye. 
Published: February 2024

The article establishes that a settlement agreement in commercial proceedings is a voluntary agreement between the parties to a conflict to resolve a dispute which arose between them in the course of conducting economic activity or in the course of performance of economic contracts. Such an agreement may be concluded both before the dispute is resolved in court and directly during the court proceedings. It is an effective means of dispute resolution, as it avoids lengthy and costly court proceedings and ensures a more prompt resolution of the problem on the merits between the parties to the conflict.
It is argued that settlement agreements are an important tool in the economic process, since with their help it is possible to: 1) to save the parties to the dispute on court costs, as well as to save time of courts and judges who are already working in difficult conditions with a significant overload; 2) to maintain normal relations between the parties in conflict. Settlement agreements can help reduce tensions between the parties and increase mutual respect and trust between them; 3) eliminate the risk of uncertainty, as court decisions may not always fully take into account the interests of the parties to the dispute, while settlement agreements usually satisfy the interests of both parties; 4) increase the efficiency of the dispute resolution process, as they can be concluded more quickly than in court. In addition, the conclusion of an agreement allows the parties to resolve the conflict themselves, satisfying each other's interests to the maximum extent possible.
It is noted that the legislator has a rather superficial approach to the regulation of conciliation procedures in commercial proceedings, which is a significant gap. In particular, it is important to ensure that the obligations undertaken by the parties to the conflict are compulsory.
Organisational and legal framework for state control over the exercise of administrative jurisdiction by educational institutions in Ukraine
Authors: Kyrychenko O. Yu. 
Published: February 2024

The article notes that quality education is the foundation for intellectual, cultural, spiritual, social and economic development of the State and its components. It has been noted that the fundamental direction of education is the multi-vector evolution of a person as an individual and the highest value of society, development of his/her talents, mental and physical abilities, education of high moral qualities, formation of citizens capable of making a conscious social choice, enrichment on this basis of the intellectual, creative, cultural potential of the people, improvement of their educational level, and provision of the State with qualified specialists.
The essence of the definition of “education” lies in understanding it as a purposeful process of acquiring and honing knowledge and skills, values, beliefs and habits through various forms of cognitive activity, as well as education and training in the circles of interests of a person and society, which is confirmed by the statement that a citizen has mastered the educational levels determined by the state.
The article establishes that the State is one of the main subjects of the control function in society. This follows from the fact that the State has the capabilities and is endowed with real powers to influence society, and in the course of such influence it relies on the results of control. The author emphasises that the State is the central subject of implementation of the control function in society, since it has all the necessary levers of influence on it, using an extensive system of relevant authorised public administration bodies. The main purpose of these bodies is to ensure legality and discipline, which is directly related to their jurisdictional activities.
It is emphasised that the legislator has developed a hierarchical pyramid of relevant governing bodies of public authority in Ukraine to implement the State control over the exercise of administrative jurisdiction by educational institutions. This system of public authority includes several levels: from the parliamentary-presidential, governmental-central and regional levels to the regional and district levels.
Genesis of national legislation and scientific thought development regarding criminal liability for perjury
Authors: Romanauskas K. A. 
Published: February 2024

One of the ways to mislead a court or other authorised body is to provide deliberately false testimony by a witness or victim, for which the legislator provides for criminal liability in Article 384 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Based on the social danger of this criminal offence, which is an encroachment on the lawful procedure for the administration of justice, in particular, ensuring the rule of law, legality in the procedural activities of courts, law enforcement agencies, and other institutions entrusted with the enforcement of court decisions, the importance of ensuring a high-quality investigation of these criminal offences has been emphasised. The purpose of the study is defined as clarification and generalisation of theoretical concepts of the emergence and historical development of the peculiarities of criminal liability for knowingly false testimony of a witness and a victim, and outlining the areas for improvement of modern scientific knowledge on this issue.
The article analyses certain aspects of the development of national legislation on criminal liability for perjury of a witness and a victim. The author summarises the theoretical developments of scholars whose research focused on the issues of criminal liability for committing criminal offences of this type, as well as the procedural features of obtaining witness and victim testimony, and the specifics of their verification and evaluation. Given the above, the article assesses the development of scientific thought in this regard, and outlines the prospects for further research in the context of determining the grounds and specific features of criminal prosecution of persons who have induced or forced a witness and a victim to give false testimony. The author describes the current state of scientific support for the organisational and tactical principles of investigation of criminal offences of this type, as well as the procedural aspects of obtaining testimony, its verification and evaluation.
Classification of forensic psychiatric examinations
Authors: Makarova O. P. 
Published: February 2024

The article considers the classification of forensic psychiatric examinations according to various criteria. The most common is the division into types depending on the subject matter of research. According to this criterion, the following types of forensic psychiatric examinations are distinguished:

forensic psychiatric examination of the suspect or accused. The purpose of this examination is to establish the presence or absence of any mental disorder in the person charged with the offence that could affect his or her ability to understand and control his or her actions;
forensic psychiatric examination of the witness, the purpose of which is to establish the presence or absence of any mental disorder that could affect his or her ability to perceive, remember and reproduce information during the period of time when the events about which he or she testifies took place;
forensic psychiatric examination of the victim, the purpose of which is to establish the presence or absence of any mental disorder in the victim during the period of time when the events occurred that could affect his or her ability to understand the situation, assess the danger and respond adequately to it;
forensic psychiatric examination of the convicted person, the purpose of which is to establish the presence or absence of a mental disorder in the convicted person, which may be the basis for applying compulsory medical measures to him/her.

In addition, the types of forensic psychiatric examinations are considered:

forensic psychiatric examination in cases of limitation of civil capacity of an individual, recognition of an individual as incapacitated. The purpose of this examination is to establish the presence or absence of a mental disorder in an individual that prevents him or her from fully understanding the significance of his or her actions and controlling them;
forensic psychiatric examination in cases of invalidation of a transaction. The purpose of this examination is to determine whether a person had a mental disorder at the time of the transaction that could have affected his or her ability to understand the meaning of the transaction and control his or her actions.
Personal factors of self-governance among security and defence sector personnel in Ukraine (on the example of the National Guard of Ukraine)
Authors: Slurdenko D. O. , Pavlova O. H. 
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the study of personal factors of self-government of servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine. It has been determined that the general ability to self-governance is an important condition for the effective performance of professional activities in complex and atypical conditions. It has been noted that the formed ability to self-governance implies a positive attitude to oneself based on a high assessment of relevant and practically implemented knowledge, skills and abilities, which provides an attitude to unconditionally overcome a difficult situation and perform the task. Emotional and volitional, intellectual and communicative personal characteristics as substantive components of self-government in the National Guard of Ukraine have been analysed.
The article presents the results of an empirical study of emotional and volitional, intellectual and communicative personal characteristics of the servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine. It has been found that the ability to self-governance is associated with conscious adherence to professional norms and values. Their emotional stability allows them to maintain clarity in the vision of the goals of their activities. It has been found that servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine who did not participate in hostilities are more capable of self-government if they are confident in the correctness of what they do and are able to apply the professional knowledge they have acquired in changing circumstances. It has been concluded that the ability to self-governance of the servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine is derived not so much from individual stable communicative, intellectual, emotional and volitional personal characteristics, but depends on the general ability to trust oneself, one's professional knowledge and skills.

Background: Osteoadsorptive fluorogenic sentinel 3 (OFS-3) is a recently described compound that contains a bone-targeting bisphosphonate (BP) and cathepsin K (Ctsk)-triggered fluorescence signal. A prior study in a murine Achilles repair model demonstrated its effectiveness at targeting the site of tendon-to-bone repair, but the intrinsic effect of this novel bisphosphonate chaperone on tendon-to-bone healing has not been previously explored. We hypothesized that application of this bisphosphonate-fluorophore cargo conjugate would not affect the biomechanical properties or histologic appearance of tendon-bone repairs.Materials and Methods: Right hindlimb Achilles tendon-to-bone repair was performed on 12-week old male mice. Animals were divided into 2 groups of 18 each: 1) Achilles repair with OFS-3 applied directly to the repair site prior to closure, and 2) Achilles repair with saline applied prior to closure. Repaired hindlimbs from 12 animals per group were harvested at 6 weeks for biomechanical analysis with a custom 3D-printed jig. At 4 and 6 weeks, repaired hindlimbs from the remaining animals were assessed histologically using H&amp;E, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for the presence of Ctsk, and second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging to evaluate collagen fibers.Results: At 6 weeks, there was no significant difference in failure load, stiffness, toughness, or displacement to failure between repaired hindlimbs that received OFS-3 versus saline. There was no difference in tissue healing on H&amp;E or Ctsk staining on immunohistochemistry between animals that received OFS-3 versus saline. Finally, second harmonic generation imaging demonstrated no difference in collagen fiber parameters between the two groups.Conclusion: OFS-3 did not significantly affect the biomechanical properties or histologic appearance of murine Achilles tendon-to-bone repairs. This study demonstrates that OFS-3 can target the site of tendon-to-bone repair without causing intrinsic negative effects on healing. Further development of this drug delivery platform to target growth factors to the site of tendon-bone repair is warranted.

BackgroundThe Hispanic/Latino population has greater risk (estimated &gt;50%) of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and developing it at a younger age. The American Diabetes Association estimates costs of diagnosed diabetes in 2017 was $327 billion; with medical costs 2.3x higher than patients without diabetes. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the methodology utilized in a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a diabetes telemanagement (DTM) program for Hispanic/Latino patients with T2D. The intent is to provide information for future investigators to ensure that this study can be accurately replicated.MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial with 240 participants. Eligible patients (Hispanic/Latino, aged 18+, living with T2D) were randomized to Comprehensive Outpatient Management (COM) or DTM. DTM was comprised of usual care, including routine clinic visits every three months, as well as: Biometrics (a tablet, blood glucose meter, blood pressure monitor, and scale); Weekly Video Visits (facilitated in the patient’s preferred language); and Educational Videos (including culturally congruent diabetes self-management education and quizzes). COM consisted of usual care including routine clinic visits every three months. For this study, COM patients received a glucometer, glucose test strips, and lancets. Establishing a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship was a fundamental component of our study for both groups. First contact (post-enrollment) centered on ensuring that patients and caregivers understood the program, building trust and rapport, creating a non-judgmental environment, determining language preference, and establishing scheduling availability (including evenings and weekends). DTM were provided with a tablet which allowed for self-paced education through videos and weekly video visits. The research team and Community Advisory Board identified appropriate educational video content, which was incorporated in diabetes educational topics. Video visits allowed us to assess patient involvement, motivation, and nonverbal communication. Communicating in Spanish, and awareness of diverse Hispanic/Latino backgrounds was critical, as using relevant and commonly-used terms can increase adherence and improve outcomes. Shared decision-making was encouraged to make realistic health care choices.ConclusionKey elements discussed above provide a framework for future dissemination of an evidence-based DTM intervention to meet the needs of underserved Hispanic/Latino people living with T2D.
