Anti-corruption policy of Ukraine in the context of war
Authors: Nesterenko К. , Bulgakova O. 
Published: July 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of national anti-corruption policy in the light of European integration processes, civil society development and full-scale war.
It is noted that the negative impact of corruption is additionally manifested in the decline of the authority of the country, state authorities, moral values ​in society, it causes the penetration of a criminal component into state-management and social relations, as well as undermines the economic and political foundations of the state, blocks the inflow of foreign investments, which leads to shadowing of the economy.
The concept of the index of perception of corruption and anti-corruption policy, its normative basis and institutional support are characterized. Comprehensive approaches to the development and implementation of changes to reduce the level of corruption in certain spheres of the state's life have been analyzed. The key shortcomings of the modern anti-corruption policy are outlined.It is substantiated that the important conditions for preserving the sovereignty of the state and restoring its territorial integrity are the proper armed repulsion of the invaders' encroachments, the provision of socio-economic foundations and political stability in the country. In these conditions, combating corruption continues to be a priority area of ​state policy and requires the state leadership to implement further radical anti-corruption measures in the state administration system. It has been proven that, along with repelling military aggression, the fight against corruption should be an equally urgent priority for all state authorities todayIt is emphasized that the issue of preventing and countering corruption, the formation of anti-corruption state policy does not lose its relevance neither during martial law nor in the post-war period. It was noted that Ukraine shows significant changes in this regard, despite the fact that almost all the resources of the state and society are now directed to the protection against unprovoked military aggression of the Russian Federation.Ways of improving the methodology of development and implementation of anti-corruption policy, taking into account the corruption perception index, are proposed.
Information security under martial law
Authors: Smotrych D. , Brailko L. 
Published: July 2023

In modern military realities, it is difficult and even inappropriate to deny the role of information as a tool of confrontation, in fact - a weapon. Information allows you to win the war without firing a single shot, creating and fueling internal contradictions. Such tactics are characteristic of new format wars - hybrid wars, where the direct military factor is only one of the components of the whole.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that in conditions where a whole set of information is designed to manipulate public opinion, human consciousness and is presented with the help of physiological and psychological methods and means of its perception, the issue of a low level of information culture arises, which causes a decrease in a person's ability to critical perception , the analysis and evaluation of the received information becomes important. In this case, the ability to form one's own opinion is practically absent.
It is quite correct to believe that information security involves: an appropriate level of information culture, that is, theoretical and practical training of an individual, which ensures the protection and realization of his vital interests and harmonious development in the conditions of the information society, regardless of the presence of information threats; the ability of the state to create conditions for harmonious development and satisfaction of the informational needs of the individual, regardless of the presence of informational threats; provision, development and use of the information environment in the interests of the individual; protection against various informational threats.
The article reveals the aspects of ensuring information rights and freedoms, taking into account the protection of information security of the state in the conditions of martial law. Priority areas of protection are defined. Typical threats and their origins are considered. Also, it is important to conclude that ensuring information security consists in creating measures to ensure information security.
Smuggling as an illegal encroachment on the foundations of the market model of the economy in Ukraine: some topical issues
Authors: Kamensky D. 
Published: July 2023

The research paper is devoted to some issues of criminal responsibility for smuggling in Ukraine. In particular, an analysis of problematic issues related to the legislative regulation of the subjects of crimes provided for in Art. Art. 201, 201-1, 305 of the Criminal Code.
An overview of modern publications devoted to the issue under consideration was made. Attention is focused on the current problem of recriminalization of "goods" smuggling in Ukraine.
The author's classification of groups of subjects, normatively fixed in Articles 201, 201-1, 305 of the Criminal Code. Attention was also drawn to the fact that the crime provided for in Art. 201 of the Criminal Code, contains a wide list of additional objects, which to some extent complicates the proper criminal-legal assessment of the committed crime.
The scientific position expressed in the legal literature regarding the need to establish criminal liability for people smuggling is also critically studied, given the fact that the territory of Ukraine is actively used by criminal groups to transport illegal migrants to Western European countries.
Several modern examples from domestic and foreign law enforcement practice are given, dedicated to the problems of establishing the crime-forming features of the investigated crimes.
Based on the results of the research, several theses-conclusions were substantiated: 1) illegal movement of goods across the customs border of Ukraine includes illegal activities of import into the customs territory of Ukraine, export outside the customs territory of Ukraine or transit through its customs territory of goods; 2) the illegal movement of goods across the customs border of Ukraine is carried out with the aim of avoiding the payment of taxes (fees) and other mandatory payments or minimizing their amount by creating fictitious grounds for simplifying customs procedures; 3) the schemes of illegal movement of goods across the customs border of Ukraine with their subsequent legalization are quite flexible, they are constantly changing; 4) the perspective of the scientific analysis of the “blanket” component of “contraband” bans is emphasized.
Understanding of the obligation in natural law concepts of John Locke and Jan-Jak Russo
Authors: Popovych Т. 
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of obligations in the light of the natural legal concepts of John Locke and Jan-Jak Russo. Thus, within his theory of the social contract, John Locke notes about the natural state of people, from which the law of nature follows, is obligatory for everyone. Such the obligation comes from the human nature or from the harmony between natural law and the rational human nature. The reason for the formation of a civil society is to prevent a state of war, when force, not supported by law, is used contrary to natural law. Therefore, John Locke assigns obligations to the supreme authority, to which people entrusted a part of their freedom in order to fulfill the goals of the state - to ensure peace,security and welfare of the people.
Thus, John Locke mainly considers the obligation through the prism of laws - first of all natural (not to cause harm to others), and later also civil, which is established by the supreme authority. The individual in the state is entrusted with the obligation to carry out the prescriptions determined by the government, while the government is supposed to ensure peace, protect property, and justly resolve (through judicial institutions) disputes between citizens. In this way, the freedom of individuals is guaranteed by the state, because real freedom, according to the thinker, is possible only in a legal state.
On the example of the concept of Jan-Jak Russo’s social contract а certain feature can be traced. It is about a significant strengthening of the collective factor over the individual one, when a union of individuals who have mutual rights and obligations in relation to each other is formed in the manner of a corresponding contract. Obligation, therefore, is not only what binds a person, subjecting him to the supreme authority, but, above all, what serves as a factor of cooperation of people in a perfect union. Based on the concept of popular sovereignty, the principles of direct democracy, which the French thinker advocated, individuals should not just fulfill certain prescriptions, but also be called to be active participants in the state-legal reality, in particular, to participate in the creation of laws. Such laws, as the personification of the expressions of the general will, can ensure justice, equality and freedom of individuals.
Directions for the implementation of certain provisions of the Istanbul Convention (in the aspect of ensuring children's rights)
Authors: Zelenskyi Ye. 
Published: July 2023

The purpose of writing a scientific article is to propose directions for the implementation of certain provisions of the Istanbul Convention on the protection of children's rights in Ukraine based on the analysis of the norms of the Istanbul Convention and domestic legislation in the field of combating domestic violence, as well as the results of the activities of the National Police units.
The work presents an analysis of statistical information on the activity of mobile groups of the National Police of the Dnipropetrovsk region on reports of domestic violence. A conclusion was made about the latency of domestic violence in relation to children. Attention was focused on the need to take into account in the activities of the National Police bodies and units the principle of the Istanbul Convention, according to which a child-witness of domestic violence must be officially recognized as a victim of such illegal actions.
Proposed directions for improving the protection of children's rights when combating domestic violence, taking into account the requirements of the Council of Europe Convention on the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence and the fight against these phenomena.
A proposal was put forward to develop and adopt the orders of the Ministry of Social Policy "About the approval of the Regulation on the creation and operation of the Unified State Register of Domestic Violence and Gender-Based Violence, the exercise of the powers of the holder of this register" and " About the approval of the Regulation on the Unified State Register of Offenders".
The need for legislative implementation of the "child-witness = child-victim" principle into the activities of practical bodies of the National Police by introducing specific changes to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses is emphasized. The position regarding the need to resolve the issue of the mandatory appointment of a psychological examination in cases of domestic violence involving a child and the consideration of its results during the decision on the merits of the case is supported.
It is proposed to supplement the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses with Article 279-9 "Peculiarities of consideration of a case on an administrative offense related to domestic violence."

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical, laboratory, and ultrasonographic findings; treatment; and outcome of cattle with mesenteric torsion (MT).

ANIMALS
61 cattle with MT between November 1, 1986, and December 31, 2019.

METHODS
Medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Results were compared for cattle that survived versus did not survive to hospital discharge.

RESULTS
All cattle had abnormal demeanor. The most common clinical signs were tachycardia (80.3% [49/61]), tachypnea (65.0% [39/60]), and lower rectal temperature (59.3% [35/59]). Signs of colic occurred in 65.6% (40/61). The most common gastrointestinal findings were an empty or almost empty rectum (100% [59/59]), reduced or absent motility of the small intestines (96.6% [57/59]) or rumen (93.2% [55/59]), positive ballottement and/or percussion and simultaneous auscultation on the right side (91.7% [55/60]), and dilated small (49.2% [29/59]) and large intestines (spiral colon and/or cecum, 44.1% [26/59]) detected during transrectal examination. The most common laboratory findings were acidosis (82.6%, [38/46]) hypermagnesemia (74.5% [35/47]). Ultrasonographic findings included reduced or absent small intestinal motility (86.7% [26/30]) and dilated small intestines (83.8% [31/37]). The spiral colon was dilated in 32.4% (12/37) of the cattle. Eighty-two percent (50/61) of the cattle underwent right flank laparotomy and the MT could be reduced in 34.4% (21/61). Twenty-three percent (14/61) of the cattle survived to hospital discharge, and 77.0% (47/61) were euthanized before hospital discharge.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Dilated small and large intestines (spiral colon, cecum) combined with a severely abnormal demeanor and tachycardia are characteristic findings in cows with MT. Immediate surgical treatment is paramount.
The Role of Climate Change News in Pharma Industry
Authors: Anghel Bogdan Ionut , Lupu Radu 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this article, we aim to study the role of climate change news in the European Big-Pharma companies returns. The goal of the research is to explain if the sentiment of the news posted on Twitter can explain the market movements, even if current global events may affect stock prices. The previous literature reveals the impact of climate change in the economy, but in the field of pharma companies, there is less information of how climate change affects the evolution in the stock market. We used the VADER methodology to examine and analyze the climate change news posted on Twitter. This allows us to extract the sentiment and use it to study the dependence between sentiment score and the evolution of the European Big-Pharma companies. To examine the relation, we use Ordinary Least Squares regressions and Quantile Regression. Our results reveal the fact that there is no significant dependency between the sentiment score of the news published on Twitter by the biggest newspapers and the price increase of the European Pharma companies stocks. We observe a small increase in dependence when we use the sentiment score with 1 day lag in the Ordinary Least Squares regressions and another improvement in results with Quantile Regression.
Project Management in the Wind Energy Field. Case Study: Evaluation of Wind Energy Projects through the Net Present Value
Authors: Maassen Maria Alexandra 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Wind energy has become one of the main sources of green energy having reached a peak of 220 GW installed wind capacity in 2020 in the European Union according to the TPA report (2021). With the expansion of wind energy installments, project management in the field also had numerous challenges in terms of estimating wind energy projects worth implementing in terms of capital and operating costs, as well as benefits. The present article presents the main method of evaluating wind energy projects, namely the net present value applied on specific costs and benefits of a wind energy installment in order to determine whether it is worth implementing or not. The paper contributes to the scientific literature by applying this method of analyzing wind energy projects before installment, a characteristic that is compulsory for project management in the field in order to adapt the project if needed in terms of costs or revenue streams.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This study examines how enterprise asset management (EAM), customer relationship management (CRM), warehouse management system (WMS), transport management system (TMS), and returnable package management (RPM) can be integrated with technologies that support supply chain safety management. This research work aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the integration of these technologies and systems in improving the overall supply chain safety management of the organization. The goal of the study is to assess how well these systems’ and technologies’ integration have improved the organization’s overall supply chain safety management. The study also reveals that the successful implementation of these systems requires a holistic approach, involving organizational culture, training, and change management. The results indicate that the integration of these technologies and systems has significantly improved the company’s asset utilization, customer satisfaction, inventory management, transportation efficiency, and overall supply chain safety management. While the implementation of these technologies can be costly and time-consuming, the benefits of enhanced supply chain security can be far greater. The findings of this research can provide insights and guidelines for other companies in their pursuit of achieving effective supply chain safety management through the integration of technologies supporting supply chain safety management, EAM, CRM, WMS, TMS, and RPM systems.
Smart Homes: Analysis of IoT Security Indicators
Authors: Vasilescu Nicolae-Gabriel 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Smart homes often face security problems caused by internal or external factors that can bring different problems both in terms of IoT components and at the overall level. In the paper, a prototype is defined to analyze several indicators to measure the extent to which the residents’ requirements are met. At the level of scientific literature, the analysis is done from the overall point of view, the interest here being for the IoT components taken individually to see the impact in the daily life of the people who live in that house. The problem of the interdependence of the indicators and how they are managed individually both manually and by remote control is a point of interest in the analysis carried out, here both the technical part and the business part and adaptation to the requirements and the trend of the future come into discussion. Based on the current situation and trends, some guiding steps were identified regarding the appropriate use of the analyzed indicators. The security of the smart home can suffer changes if a new element is inadequately integrated into the system circuit, affecting both the other sensors, but also allowing attacks on the personal space of the people who live inside or who have sensitive data that can be accessed once with access to the system.
International Cooperation and Solving Transfer Pricing Disputes: A Discussion about Mutual Agreement Procedures
Authors: Lupu Mihai 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The mutual agreement procedure is the main instrument available to both taxpayers and tax administrations for mitigating international double taxation arising from transfer pricing adjustments. Although it may apply to cases generated by other tax topics, this article refers strictly to its application in the context of transfer pricing. Ensuring this mechanism operates as smooth as possible is one of the factors contributing to efficient cross-border economic flows of goods and services and their fair taxation, eliminating the risk for multinational groups of paying more taxes than necessary (as a result of transfer pricing adjustments performed by tax authorities). As one of the organisms promoting international cooperation and economic wellbeing, the OECD tracks the performance of member and non-member states in relation to the effective implementation of mutual agreement procedures. The process is not aimed at evaluating the results of one specific country, but rather to offer a global perspective. Through literature review as well as secondary data analysis derived from the annual reports prepared by the National Agency for Fiscal Administration in Romania and the OECD, this article aims at presenting how the Romanian tax authorities are handling mutual agreement procedure cases, as a base for future improvements. Although the Romanian tax authorities have been constantly involved during the last 7 years in solving double taxation cases through mutual agreement procedures, work is still needed in order to make the process more efficient, considering that their results are still significantly below the high-achieving countries, as presented in the OECD reports.
The Evolution of Economic Disparities in Romania during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comparative Analysis of Pre-Existing and Emerging Challenges
Authors: Antonia Mihai , Simion Luciana 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on Romania, exacerbating existing inequalities in the country. Economic disparities between counties were deepened, with counties with higher GDP per capita and diverse economic activities faring better than those with lower GDP per capita and narrow economic activities. The pandemic also led to a decline in population numbers, with most counties in the historical regions of Muntenia and Moldova experiencing below-average declines. In addition, the pandemic had a significant impact on the average life expectancy in Romania, highlighting the need for targeted policies and interventions to address these regional inequalities. Lastly, the pandemic negatively affected labor force participation rates in Romania, further highlighting the need for policymakers to implement measures to encourage more individuals to enter and remain in the labor market, particularly in regions with lower participation rates.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is our time’s defining global health crisis that has brought about a worldwide upheaval in daily lives and societies. Prompted by the urgency of the situation, all EU Member States have taken public health measures to stop the spread of the virus and limit the rise of the death toll.
In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused uneven - but in all cases substantial - GDP losses across Member States. The economic impact was uneven due to various factors such as differences in the structure of economies and health strategies to combat the pandemic and the effects of the lockdowns on economic sectors.
This review aims to provide an integrated picture of the main economic policy responses in the EU; It presents an analytical description of the measures launched both at the EU and Member States’ levels and identifies risks, challenges and opportunities for the future of EU economic coordination.
