Authors: Ramakrishna Abinaya , Veeramani Panimalar A , R Akash 
Published: October 2023

Aim: To assess the prevalence of Thyroid Eye Disease among thyroid disorder patients. Introduction: Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a debilitating autoimmune disorder seen in hyperthyroid, hypothyroid and euthyroid patients. The global prevalence of TED is estimated to be 16 per 100,000 women and 2.9 per 100,000 men in the general population. Common symptoms include dry eyes, eyelid retraction, excessive watering, conjunctival redness and swelling, retro-orbital pain and blurred vision. This study aims to assess the prevalence of TED among dysthyroid patients attending Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Methodolody: The purpose of this study is to find the prevalence of TED among dysthyroid patients attending Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai during the months of July and August. A detailed history of each patient was taken after which a series of tests were conducted to identify and classify the severity of TED. This was done using NOSPECS (no signs, only signs, soft tissue involvement, proptosis, extraocular muscle involvement, corneal involvement, sight loss) classification. Schirmers test was performed to assess the prevalence of dry eyes among TED patients. Result: 122 patients consisting of 87 females and 35 males were included in this study. 43% (53 patients) were found to have Thyroid Eye Disease. There was no significant difference in prevalence between male and female subjects (43.6% and 42.8% respectively). The presence of TED was far greater in hyperthyroid than in hypothyroid patients. 44 out of 53 patients with TED were hyperthyroid (83%), 7 were hypothyroid (13.2%), and 2 patients were euthyroid (3.7%) . Schirmers test conducted on each patient revealed that 12% of the TED patients suffered from dry eyes. NCT test conducted to find the intraocular pressure in TED patients revealed no significant results. Conclusion: The high prevalence of TED seen in dysthyroid patients in this study calls for increased awareness regarding ocular manifestations in thyroid disorders. Patients should be encouraged to undergo regular checkups to ensure normal functioning of eyes and to prevent progression of the disease.

Incomplete mechanisms of authorities in issues of ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language
Authors: Midina Anastasia 
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the current legislation regulating the issues of ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language. Analyzed such basic legal acts as the Constitution of Ukraine and the Laws of Ukraine "On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language", "About Higher Education". It is determined, that the status of the Ukrainian language as a single state language in Ukraine is determined exclusively by the Constitution of Ukraine, and the procedure for the functioning and use of the state language is exclusively determined by law. The current legal acts contain gaps that are persistent.
Based on the results of the study, the author's vision of ways to regulate the imperfection of the mechanism of state power has been formed. Namely, it is proposed to supplement Article 10 of Section III of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as a State Language” with part 4 as follows: “as an alternative, the level of proficiency in the state language by persons, defined in the first and second parts of Article 9 of this Law, is certified by a document with Unified State Electronic Database on Education. This clarification in some cases will help simplify the mechanism for assessing the level of proficiency in the state language of military personnel serving in higher military educational institutions as scientific and pedagogical workers, as well as eliminate negative reactions from society regarding the failure to confirm the level of proficiency in the state language of persons applying for individual elective positions (Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine). After all, all citizens of Ukraine are equal before the Law and proper language skills are an integral part of professional competence, a guarantee of success in the profession, as well as an indicator of the general culture of the individual.
In addition, the article emphasizes that insufficient legal work and legal culture of local officials remain the problematic issues, faced by contract military personnel serving in the positions of scientific and pedagogical workers in institutions of higher military education. Therefore, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of legal awareness of both military personnel (under contract) in the security and defense sector and officials of public authorities is to strengthen the work in teams on the interpretation of legal norms and ways to implement them
Some issues of legal liability for violations of environmental protection legislation
Authors: Kalian Oleksandr , Kupchenia Lidia , Syomych Mykola 
Published: October 2023

The classification of the environmental protection legislation of Ukraine has been carried out. For this purpose, Ukrainian legal acts were analyzed and systematized according to various criteria. The scientific literature, devoted to the issue of legal responsibility for violation of the norms of laws, in which the right to nature protection is enshrined, was studied. It has been proven, that in the conditions of globalization, environmental regulations must take into account international standards in the field of environmental protection, in particular, the achievements of the World Trade Organization and the European Union. The content of certain legal documents of international communities in this area has been clarified.
The types of legal responsibility are outlined. Some of them were considered in relation to the legal consequences for violating environmental legislation. In particular, material and disciplinary responsibility is characterized as having an indirect effect on environmental protection through employees of the state environmental inspection. This approach is due to the fact that the effectiveness of environmental legislation largely depends on the quality of work of the relevant employees.
At the same time, the issue of bringing offenders to economic and legal and other types of legal responsibility is considered.
It has been established, that mitigating the consequences of military actions on the territory of Ukraine requires the improvement of the institution of legal responsibility for violations of environmental regulations. Therefore, the main codified acts that regulate it, such as the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, the Economic Code of Ukraine and the Criminal Code of Ukraine, were analyzed. Separate changes to regulatory legal acts are proposed.
In general, this research is based on the statement about the possibility of improving the state of nature by applying measures of responsibility to violators of environmental norms. This will make it possible to mitigate the consequences of military operations on the territory of Ukraine
Legal concerns regarding the protection of minors’ personal data in compliance with national legislation and GDPR requirements
Authors: Yavor Olha , Piddubna Viktoriia , Ruban Olena 
Published: October 2023

The article highlights the legal concerns surrounding the protection of minors' personal data. The writers have conducted an original study of the sources regulating civil and labor relations in the field of acquiring and using personal data. The expansion and use of information technology and online communications can potentially lead to the violation of personal rights by the owners of personal data, both in workplace settings and in the daily lives of ordinary residents. The purpose of this article is to highlight issues concerning the collection, storage, use, and dissemination of the personal data of a minor, as well as to develop methods to protect the personal data of a child based on a comprehensive analysis of international acts, Ukrainian legislation, unique literature, and case law materials pertaining to the protection of personal data of a minor.
Based on the analysis of national legislation and case law of the European Union, the author concludes that the right to personal data protection is one of the forms of realization of the right to respect for private and family life. The obligation to protect person's rights to processing and storage of his or her private information is a negative obligation on the part of both the State and the owners of personal data.
The article addresses current difficulties concerning the security of children' personal data under current civil and medical legislation in Ukraine and other countries. The provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and Ukraine's "On Personal Data Protection" Law are compared. Possible steps to establish further protection of children's personal data during collection and processing, whether utilizing websites, video games, online purchases, and so on, are proposed.
The paper concludes that state functions should be executed without necessitating individuals' consent for the collection of personal data. Personal data processing should be carried out within the framework and on the basis of Ukrainian laws and regulations, taking into account international conventions in this area. The analysis of methods for safeguarding children's personal data enabled the identification of supplementary avenues for data protection. These include acquiring copies of personal data by both children and their parents, rectifying inaccuracies, completing incomplete data, exercising the 'right to be forgotten' and the 'right to erasure' of personal data, invalidating transactions, and seeking compensation for material and moral damages arising from the unlawful use of personal data
Improving the quality of the stabilization of the output current of the pulse dc converter operating on a plasma arc
Authors: Vereshchago Yevhen , Kostiuchenko Vitalii 
Published: October 2023

Purpose. Improving the quality indicators of control processes for pulsed DC converters operating on an arc load, based on the construction of procedures for the synthesis of robust systems.
Methodology. A method of improving the quality of stabilization of the output current of a pulsed direct current converter based on a combination of disturbance control with control of the output current deviation from a given value (localization method) is considered.
Findings. The article deals with the solution of the optimization problems of the output current stabilization system of the pulsed direct current converter feeding the plasma arc under, among other things , stochastic external influences in connection with the problems of non-roughness and strict implementation of optimal regulators and the solution of optimization problems according to the quality of invariance. Methods for constructing optimal controllers are considered and the possibility of solving the optimization problem by the invariance property is established. Examples of solving deterministic and stochastic optimization tasks are given, taking into account the properties of roughness, structural and strict implementation of the stabilizing regulator.
Better accuracy of arc current stabilization in statics and dynamics is provided, which is confirmed by simulation modeling. The quality of arc current stabilization is achieved when using control systems based on the quality of invariance and solving optimization problems in the class of "good" regulators built on the basis of the localization method. Regulators calculated on the basis of the correlations of the localization method provide the required quality of the processes and have the property of roughness (robustness) in relation to the deviation of the object parameters from the nominal values in a wide range. If the object contains non-stationary parameters or its properties are not fully known, in this case it is better to use the localization method to calculate the controller.
Originality. We received further development of the procedure for the synthesis of optimal regulators and methods of solving optimization problems by the property of invariance.
Practical value. On the basis of the method of combined control and the concepts of localization, the optimal laws of control of free and forced movements of a one-dimensional system are synthesized. The latter, however, has the property of rudeness. The efficiency of the synthesized algorithms is illustrated by the results of mathematical modeling.

Factors for ensuring the economic security of depressed regions in the context of digital transformation
Authors: Dolganova Ia. A. , Babkin A. A. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: of the study is to determine the factors that have both a positive and a negative impact on the economic security of depressed regions.Methods: of statistical analysis and ratio assessment were applied in determining the economic security of depressed regions, as well as cluster analysis, in order to identify similar trends in regions, on the basis of which it is possible to identify factors that affect economic security. The study is based on the analysis of statistical data from EMISS, as well as data from the Expert RA rating agency. The calculations were performed using the following programs: Microsoft Office Excel 2016 (calculation of the values of the resulting indicators of economic security of depressed regions) and IBM SPSS Statistics 2019 (carrying out cluster analysis).Results: an assessment of the economic security of depressed regions was carried out. It was revealed that all regions have problems with financial stability and a low level of development of foreign economic activity. However, for a number of socio-economic indicators, the Altai Republic, Pskov Region, and Kalmykia Republic reach values above the Russian average, but the indicators of average per capita cash income still remain low. Based on the cluster analysis of regions, a number of factors influencing the economic security of depressed regions have been identified.Conclusions and Relevance: for each cluster, key factors influencing economic security have been identified. The processes of digital transformation, subject to their high-quality implementation, become a positive factor in ensuring economic security for regions that occupy low positions in socio-economic development. The primary factors for ensuring economic security for regions that make up another cluster are qualitative changes aimed at the economic growth of the region.

Published: October 2023

abstractPurpose: is to develop a methodology for zoning and socio-economic forecasting of the state of the northern and arctic territories in order to produce a conceptual framework to ensure their sustainability.Methods: the work is based on the statistical indicators and rating scores of the spatial development of the territories of the Republic of Karelia, indicators of financial statements of companies operating in the region, and other public information about them for 2010-2021. A number of methods of multivariate statistics, in particular, cluster and regression analysis, mapping method and scenario approach were used to analyze the data.Results: the study shows the importance of zoning and forecasting in the design and implementation of sustainable spatial development policy, as well as the need to update and adapt existing tools to new challenges and characteristics of the regions. The methodology of zoning of territories, based on the existing economic relations between actors and the role of human capital in sustainable development was developed. The methodology of mediumand long-term forecasting of socio-economic space, taking into account the mutual influence of adjacent territorial units, was proposed. The methods have been tested for the Karelian Arctic and economically connected territories of the North; a dynamic zoning model has been built. The forecast of mediumand long-term development of this space was carried out with the use of institutional innovations and overcoming of "bottlenecks" by the subjects of management.Conclusions and Relevance: the results obtained can become the basis for the policy of regional development. The paper proposes a conceptual framework of sustainable development strategy for the territories of the Republic of Karelia under consideration. It is shown that one of the fundamental problems of the majority of the northern territories is low human capital characteristics; in this connection a number of institutional changes, in particular, affecting the methodology of calculating social deductions for personal income tax and issuing referrals for targeted training, is proposed. This determines the practical signifi e of the study. The continuation of the work will be the detailing of the policy of sustainable development of Karelia.
