Adequate Level Of Security Research Articles

НАУКОВІ ПІДХОДИ ДО РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ У ПІДПРИЄМНИЦЬКОМУ СЕРЕДОВИЩІ

Introduction. The current state of enterprises in war can be described as extremely threatening and risky. The dynamism of market processes forces business entities to consider all potential and existing threats to make the right strategic decisions. External factors of the market environment are often characterized by asymmetry and periodic cyclicality, including economic downturns and depressive phases of stagnation. The purpose of the article. The article aims to study various scientific approaches to ensuring economic security in the business sector in wartime. Methods. The current state of enterprises in wartime is extremely threatening and risky. The dynamism of market processes requires business entities to consider all potential and existing threats to make the right strategic decisions. External factors of the market environment are often characterized by asymmetry and periodic cyclicality, including economic downturns and depressions. Results. When considering the role and significance of microeconomic processes at the enterprise level, they should be understood as factors of macroeconomic reproduction at the state level, which is the result of entrepreneurial activity. Conclusions. Based on the analysis, we can draw several general conclusions: The economic security of an enterprise is part of the country's national security and depends on many factors. Economic security is characterized by the ability of an enterprise to achieve stable operation by strategically eliminating and confronting threats and risks. It is proposed that economic security be considered a system of protection for the enterprise's activities from various negative factors of internal and external origin. It also includes the ability of an enterprise to use various resources and approaches to eliminate risks and threats and achieve well-being. Achieving an adequate level of economic security is possible in the context of globalization and the European business development scenario. The essence of the economic security of enterprises is most fully revealed through economic and legal, information and technological, reproductive, and personal approaches.

THE LATEST ASPECT OF ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF CURRENCY SECURITY OF UKRAINE

The level of currency exchange security is an important indicator of the effective functioning of the currency exchange market. An imbalance in the domestic currency exchange market intensifies financial instability and makes it impossible to maintain an adequate level of currency security. The purpose of the research is to estimate the level of currency security of Ukraine in the conditions of currency market imbalance to determine the main reasons for its inadequate level and to make proposals for improving the methodology of calculation of the integral index of currency security.The article offers the author's interpretation of the essence of the concept of "currency security". The integral index of currency security during 2008 - 2022 was calculated in accordance with the "Methodical recommendations for calculating the level of economic security of Ukraine" and recommendations were suggested for improving this methodology in order to improve the situation on the currency market.It was proved that certain indicators make an impact on the level of currency security of Ukraine: movement of capital, negative trade balance, sufficient level of international reserves, dollarization of the economy, and high level of public debt. Ways to ensure an adequate level of currency security were proposed. Macroeconomic indicators that can act as indicators of currency security are considered and the correlation between them and the level of currency security was investigated. The expediency of introducing an additional indicator for the integral assessment of currency security is substantiated: the ratio of state and state-guaranteed debt to GDP. It allows to calculate the level of currency security more reliably. It is well-founded that the proposed indicator has a close stochastic connection with the exchange rate, therefore, if it is used with existing indicators of currency security calculation, it allows to detect negative trends of decreasing of the level of currency security.

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE ASSESSMENT OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT IN RECREATIONAL ENTERPRISES: THE IMPACT OF RISKS ON FINANCIAL SECURITY

In the article, we present a methodological approach to evaluating international logistics management in the context of ensuring financial security through the development of an appropriate model for assessing indicators and risks that influence it. The research focuses on enterprises in the recreational sector. Structural-logical analysis methods were applied for modelling and graphical methods for their visualization. The fundamental method was the technique of evaluation using fuzzy sets. In this context, the MATLAB system served as the basis for more effective modelling. The article demonstrates that the evaluation of international management begins with the analysis of key performance indicators and risks. As a result of the research, a methodological approach to evaluating the effectiveness of international logistics management in the recreational sphere was formed. The main goal of such management is efficient planning and execution of logistics operations, which ensure continuity and high quality of recreational services at an international level, cost optimization, and increased customer satisfaction. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to properly assess risks and key indicators in the context of ensuring an adequate level of financial security. The proposed approach to evaluation focuses on identifying logistics risks, providing a comprehensive understanding of the problems and opportunities in the context of enhancing financial security. Looking ahead, it is necessary to more closely consider the possibility of practical application for specifically selected enterprises in the recreational sphere and to evaluate not only risks but also threats to financial security.

Сomparative legal study of artificial intelligence positioning in judicial proceedings.

The author studies the experience of using artificial intelligence in the framework of legal proceedings in the USA, China and Russia. This analysis includes not only an analysis of judicial practice, but also a study of strategic documents assigned at the government level of these countries. Goal of the research is to identify effective starting points for the implementation of AI in the judiciary, to determine the features of regulation of AI in the judicial process and specify prospects for determining the full autonomy of AI for judicial proceedings. The objectives of the study are to determine the main trends in the implementation of AI in the field of judicial process, highlight areas that can currently be algorithmically processed by AI, as well as determine future designs of the legal personality of AI, taking into account the opinion of the professional judicial community of Russia. The research methodology includes systemic, structural-functional, hermeneutic and comparative legal methods. The authors makes general conclusions about the prospects of AI for the judicial process and formulates optimal tracks for the use of AI in judicial cases, taking into account the comparative legal research conducted. Based on the comparative legal research carried out, the author formulated the increasing role of artificial intelligence technology used in the judicial process. The need to improve the legislative framework taking into account the technological specifics of AI and ensure an adequate level of information security when using this technology is noted. In addition, a starting point has been identified for the effective and safe implementation of AI as an autonomous participant in the process in relation to disputes that are considered in a simplified manner or contain a high proportion of data that is reliably verified and stored electronically.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СВІТОВОГО ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНОГО РИНКУ: ЕКОНОМІЧНІ ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ

The article examines the development of the world energy sector. It identifies new trends that are determined by the growth of integration processes, intensification of inter-fuel competition in the energy market, progress in the application of advanced technologies, production of new energy resources, the emergence of routes formed to establish a more successful mechanism for their transportation, and increased energy awareness. The article also notes that current trends are aimed at making electricity not only economically affordable but also environmentally friendly. A significant increase in electricity production in 2023 was observed, which led to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions both in the global electricity sector and in individual countries. Based on an analysis of the dynamics of global energy supply, the author identifies an increase in renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc.) compared to previous years. It is shown that many countries, seeking to ensure energy security, make nuclear energy an important part of their energy strategies. Notwithstanding the fact that some countries are gradually abandoning nuclear power or decommissioning plants ahead of schedule, it is predicted that nuclear generation will grow by an average of almost 3% per year until 2026. The global energy market is influenced by a multitude of factors, both primary and secondary, which collectively aim to guarantee the stability and reliability of the energy supply system. These factors also serve to determine the extent to which a country can be considered to have achieved an adequate level of energy security. The energy sector in Ukraine, which is particularly vulnerable due to the introduction of martial law in the country since February 2022, is therefore susceptible to fluctuations in the global energy market.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LEGAL REGULATION IN ENSURING CYBER SECURITY IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR: EXPERIENCE FOR UKRAINE

Introduction. In the vast majority of countries, there is a constant trend towards a significant increase in the number and expansion of the spectrum of cyber-attacks with the aim of violating the confidentiality, integrity and availability of state information resources, in particular those distributed on the Internet and objects of critical information infrastructure. Summary of main results. The large-scale deployment of a hybrid war against our state seriously affects all aspects of social life. To a large extent, the strategic success of countering the challenges of hybrid warfare depends on the effective and quality of the legal response. Ensuring an adequate level of cyber security is difficult to imagine without clearly planned joint actions and measures developed by responsible entities, which must be synchronized and implemented according to a single strategic plan and development vector of the national cyber security system of a declarative nature. That is why cyber security in most countries of the world is recognized as an important component of national security, the provision of which is impossible without the formation and functioning of a national system in the field of cyber security, which is based on such principles as respect for the principles and norms of international law, protection of fundamental values defined by current legislation, protection national interests in cyberspace. It is emphasized that the state's national security largely depends on the state of cyber security. It has been proven that hybrid war significantly increases the impact of cyber threats on Ukrainian society and actualizes the danger of targeted cyber attacks as a tool of aggression against our state in the context of global trends regarding threats in cyberspace. Conclusions. In the process of conducting the research, we formulated conclusions in which special attention was paid to the peculiarities of the current state of functioning of the legislation on cyber security and considered promising directions for its improvement in the future, which, in turn, will become the basis for improving the administrative and legal regulation of cyber security in Ukraine.

Analysis of determinants of the influence of the external economic sphere on economic security of the state

The object of research is a list of the main factors of influence of the foreign economic sphere on the level of economic security. The effective development of the national economy largely depends on the state and level of economic security of the country in the conditions of strengthening globalization and integration processes. An adequate level of economic security is the basis for the development of socio-economic systems of any level, stability in society in general. Therefore, assessment and analysis of factors affecting economic security at different levels (countries, businesses, enterprises and organizations) is an important direction of the analytical work of specialists. For its implementation, analysts need a methodology – to determine the goal and interests, the main influencing factors and principles, to choose methodological and analytical tools. In the scientific works of economists, the methodology, level, and indicators are given as separate aspects of the formation and management of the economic security of the state. Without denying the significant contribution of these developments, the conducted research sets out the systematization of factors influencing the state of the macroeconomic environment. The study of factors influencing the macroeconomic sphere on the level of economic security of the country is based on the use of indicators calculated from available statistical data. The last twenty years, which showed an increase in world GDP almost twofold (from 51.39 trillion USD in 2000 to 101.12 trillion USD in 2020), are characterized by the loss of opportunities for the Ukrainian economy to be present on the world stage a market where competition is intensifying and carried out at a new technological level. The work defines the national economic interests of Ukraine in the global socio-economic space, the directions of the realization of the national interests of Ukraine, the dynamics of indicators of the development of the macroeconomic sphere. This made it possible to form a list of the main influential factors of the macroeconomic sphere, which directly shape the level of economic security of the state. The results of the research can be useful for the formation or adaptation of development strategies of countries with similar conditions and economies, such as Georgia, Moldova, which also have conflicts with Russia and seek to join the European Union.

Floating Ports as Support for Port Relocation Measures on Sea Level Rise

Ports are one of the structures where the effects of global warming are most severe and intense in atmospheric, oceanic, and geographical terms. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s assessment reports, although it is possible to slow down global warming by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is not foreseen to stop global warming and sea level rise (SLR) in any scenario. The rising sea level, an inevitable consequence of global warming, is a clear threat to conventional port facilities. In summary, SLR triggered by climate change, which is today's hot topic, may cause conventional port infrastructures to be flooded and lose their functionality. To cope with this threat, port facility planning, and design stages must be carried out by referring to the updated threshold values in Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios defined by the Working Groups of the IPCC. However, the uncertainty about the scale, timing, and location of SLR makes definitive solution-oriented approaches more prominent. One of these approaches is floating port structures. This study aims to reveal the role of floating port structures in the implementation of the relocation measure emphasized in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) for conventional ports under the threat of SLR. Initially, in this study, regions with higher SLR risk were identified by considering SSP scenarios contributed by Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) data. Afterwards, the dynamic downscaling model was used to determine the regions with higher regional sea level rise (RSLR) risk and the Marine Traffic database was used to determine the ports in these regions. Thus, it is evaluated whether floating ports can be a suitable alternative in the relocation decision of ports under SLR risk. It is expected that maritime transport will be maintained at adequate security and operational levels by revealing the pros and cons of floating ports.

SYSTEMIC CIVIL PROTECTION IN CONDITIONS OF LIMITED RESOURCES OF FIRE BRIGADE UNITS IN POLAND IN THE EVENT OF A PANDEMIC. EXAMPLE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN POLAND

Ensuring an adequate level of security should be the responsibility of every civilised developedcountry. The overall functioning of the civil protection system depends on the efficiency of thedecision-making entities, which are entities of the public administration at various levels andthe executive entities such as fire protection units, the Police, the Armed Forces, the MedicalRescue System, etc. Each of the aforementioned institutions and organisations has at itsdisposal the resources that are necessary to maintain organisational capacity and to maintaincontinuity of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on society, as wellas on administrative entities, organisations and institutions. Its impact created a very high riskof adverse effects that affected organisational resources. The aim of this article is to determinehow to systemically ensure the civil protection under conditions of limited institutional resourcesin the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fire protection units, more specifically organisationalunits of the State Fire Service and volunteer fire services, were taken as an analytical basis. It wasinvestigated by means of empirical research, quantitative and qualitative research methods onhow the COVID-19 pandemic affected the resources of these fire protection units, in particular:human, financial, information and material resources. The results of the research were analysedand used to define guidelines and a system model of providing civil protection in conditions oflimited resources of fire protection units in Poland in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financial Sustainability of IoT Platforms: The Role of Quality and Security

The economic significance of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms is evident from the proliferation of smart home assistant platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Home that center themselves around providing unique and connected experiences to users. Customers do not perceive these platforms valuable if they do not experience adequate levels of quality and security from both the platform and applications (apps) they use. Therefore, the IoT platform provider as well as app developers need to go beyond collaboration and cocreate quality and security for each app on the platform. In this setting, we study the dynamics of the financial sustainability of the platform provider and app developers and find that the collaborative nature of the IoT platform has a significant role in the behavior and profitability of all parties. Specifically, a neutral entrant to the platform not only increases the effort levels of all existing parties, but also increases the profits due to network effects that are intertwined with economies of scale. We further find that a substantial number of apps are needed in the platform for an economically viable platform and that a less efficient platform leader needs even a larger application base. However, based on the number of apps on the platform and which party is more effective in the collaboration, the platform provider might need to provide additional incentives, or sometimes, extract additional rent from the app developers to financially sustain the platform. Furthermore, we verify our results in the presence of competition or complementarity among apps and further derive additional interesting results and managerial insights. For example, we find that the entry of a competing app may be beneficial for existing apps under some conditions.

Contents of the objective of the legal mechanism for the social protection of judges in Ukraine

This article seeks to elucidate the actual content and objective of the legal mechanism for the social protection of judges in Ukraine. The author explores the socio-legal significance of this legal mechanism and emphasises the importance of clearly understanding its purpose. It is posited that the objective of the legal mechanism for the social protection of judges manifests itself principally in two key contexts. Firstly, the objective of this legal mechanism is to fulfill the specific interests of judges, society, and the state in various sectors of social life. This is achieved by addressing judges’ needs for social protection, practically realised when the goal of social protection for this group of workers is met. Secondly, the aim of the legal mechanism for judges’ social protection is defined by its focus on ensuring lawful normative interactions among entities responsible for providing judges’ social protection, both among themselves and with the judges, as well as amongst judges themselves. This is done to safeguard their right to social protection and to facilitate the actualisation of this subjective right. Considering these factors, it is concluded that the objective of the legal mechanism for the social protection of judges in Ukraine should be regarded as the establishment and upkeep of optimal conditions for the functioning of the social protection system for this specific group of workers. This ensures the proper achievement of the social protection goal for judges, including those who are retired. In light of this, the author deduces that the legal mechanism in question effectively operates as a specialised mechanism for guaranteeing an adequate level of social security for judges in Ukraine. In the article’s conclusion, the study’s findings are summarised, and it is highlighted that the conceptual essence of the legal mechanism for judges’ social protection, as embodied in its objective, demonstrates that this mechanism is a vital component of Ukraine’s socio-legal regime. This mechanism is instrumental in ensuring the social security of Ukraine, as well as the legal regime for the country’s overall national security.

Time Aware F-Score for Cybersecurity Early Detection Evaluation

With the increase in the use of Internet interconnected systems, security has become of utmost importance. One key element to guarantee an adequate level of security is being able to detect the threat as soon as possible, decreasing the risk of consequences derived from those actions. In this paper, a new metric for early detection system evaluation that takes into account the delay in detection is defined. Time aware F-score (TaF) takes into account the number of items or individual elements processed to determine if an element is an anomaly or if it is not relevant to be detected. These results are validated by means of a dual approach to cybersecurity, Operative System (OS) scan attack as part of systems and network security and the detection of depression in social media networks as part of the protection of users. Also, different approaches, oriented towards studying the impact of single item selection, are applied to final decisions. This study allows to establish that nitems selection method is usually the best option for early detection systems. TaF metric provides, as well, an adequate alternative for time sensitive detection evaluation.

Formy i sposoby sotsialnoho zakhystu viiskovosluzhbovtsiv v Ukraini

This article focuses on elucidating current academic perspectives on the principal forms and methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine. Through an exploration and clarification of the concept of social protection for military personnel and an analysis of approaches to understanding the essence of its forms, the article formulates a definition of the concept of social protection forms for military personnel in Ukraine. These forms are conceptualized as well-established activity models for legal subjects, aligned with legal principles and stipulated by law. They are aimed at securing (in line with specific areas of social protection) an adequate level of social security for military personnel and, in certain cases, their family members. This is achieved by employing relevant methods and deploying suitable means within the defined framework of social protection for military personnel. Several specific features distinguish contemporary forms of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine. Firstly, these forms delineate the characteristics of activities aimed at ensuring an adequate level of social security for military personnel. Secondly, the objective of these forms of social protection is to establish conditions conducive to a socially secure existence for military personnel and, in certain instances, their family members within the ambit of the relevant area of social protection. Thirdly, these forms of social protection encompass the planning, organization, initiation, progression, and conclusion of specific legal relations pertaining to the social protection of military personnel. Fourthly, in Ukraine, the forms of social protection for military personnel are integrated into a comprehensive system comprising various types of social protection forms, each aligned with the principal areas of social protection. The author identifies the following principal forms of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine: the health and recreational form, the housing and living form, the labor law form, the material form, the pension form, and the social adaptation and rehabilitation form, among others. The methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine can be conceptualized as standard actions prescribed by law (and aligned with legal principles), employed through various techniques within established forms of social protection. These methods are instrumental in ensuring the state of social security for military personnel and, in some cases, their family members. Current Ukrainian legislation delineates several primary methods of social protection for military personnel, including social services, social assistance, and benefits. The article concludes by summarizing the research findings and suggesting future avenues for advancing scholarly understanding of the prevailing forms and methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine.

Tactical Security as a Component of National Security and Comprehensive Defense under the Conditions of Conventional and Hybrid Warfare

The article examines the essence and peculiarities of the concept of tactical security as a component of national security and comprehensive defense of Ukraine under the conditions of conventional and hybrid warfare, the definition of basic conditions, principles and methodological approaches to the implementation of tactical security measures, the use of appropriate methods and means aimed at increasing the effectiveness of protection population under the influence of conventional and hybrid threats, personal, group and collective security of Ukrainian citizens. The analysis of such components of national security as “state security”, “military security”, “public security” and “individual security” was carried out. It is proposed to introduce the concept of “tactical security” into scientific circulation, taking into account its characteristic features and levels of support. It is emphasized that in the conditions of both conventional and hybrid warfare, unfortunately, the most vulnerable is the problem of ensuring human security, which is the result of unpredictable consequences of both overt and covert military aggression, mainly in the territories that have found themselves and are in the conditions of hostilities and temporary occupation. Attention is focused on the fact that the specified problem is intensifying and requires the development of a complex of urgent, in particular, tactical measures for its regulation with the help of both existing resource capabilities and potential, including innovative technologies, methods and means, and by combining public awareness, state regulatory mechanisms, public-private partnership, civil-military interaction and public activity and participation at the expense of proactive public structures and knowledgeable citizens, including on the basis of international experience in countering hybrid threats. It was determined that tactical security is an integrated concept that is simultaneously derived from military security, public security and individual personal security and, accordingly, can have three main meaningful components: military (component of military security), civil (component of public security and personal security) , as well as integrated, which is reflected in the concept of civil-military interaction to ensure tactical security in the conditions of hybrid warfare. It is caused by the permanent potential and sudden action of various factors, threats and influences, especially those that are difficult to predict in the conditions of both conventional and hybrid war and is aimed at quick prevention and urgent response to these factors, which involves a complex of actions: personal, group, collective and the use of appropriate means of individual, group and collective protection, assistance and care aimed at eliminating life-threatening conditions and their consequences. It has been noted that an important component of planning measures for the implementation of the National Security Strategy of Ukraine is the spread of a public culture of security, a clear understanding of the perspective model of the organization and provision of tactical security, delineation of its levels and types for certain categories of the population, employees and proactive citizens. The implementation of tactical security measures will contribute to ensuring an adequate level of military, public and personal human security and increasing the protection of the population from emergency situations and other dangerous events, as well as dangers arising during or as a result of both armed and covert conflicts in conditions of both conventional and and hybrid warfare. It was concluded that tactical security is an integrated type of security that is in the sphere of relations between the civil and military sectors, which in the future can be transformed into the concept of civil-military cooperation in preventing and responding to various emergency situations and dangerous events, establishing effective cooperation between civil and military structures and during the performance of tasks related to ensuring national security and comprehensive defense under the conditions of conventional and hybrid warfare.

The goal of social protection for judges in Ukraine

It is indicated that in a social, legal and democratic state, any activity regulated by legislation, consistent with the principles of law, must be characterized by a certain goal. This goal should be characterized, firstly, by clarity and unambiguity (in order to comply with the requirements of the principle of the rule of law in terms of the principle of legal certainty); secondly, by scientificity (strategic orientations of activity that contradict the requirements of the principle of scientificity, and therefore do not agree with legal science, economic, psychological, sociological and other sciences, may harm the provision of human rights, law and order, pose risks for social and other types of security) , which ensures the relevance, adequacy, effectiveness and rationality of such a goal. Compliance with these requirements contributes to the fact that the subject who carries out the relevant activity, taking into account its purpose, clearly understands the motives, grounds, conditions, procedure, legal consequences of actions and inaction within the limits of this activity, and is also able to predict the consequences of such activity, correct their actions in a timely manner in connection with changes in normative or factual circumstances of reality, etc. Therefore, without clarifying the purpose of the activity, it is impossible to clearly understand the content of the activity, which reduces its social and legal significanceThe article defines the goal of social protection for judges in Ukraine. In a broader context, the purpose of social protection is to create appropriate conditions for the socially safe existence of individuals, for whom social protection measures are directed. To refine this definition, the author conducts a comprehensive analysis of general approaches (positive, negative, and combined) to understand the concept of “the goal of social protection” and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages. Within the framework of a combined approach, it is argued that the goal of social protection of judges in Ukraine is twofold: firstly, to mitigate or minimize the negative effects of various social risks associated with the work of judges; and secondly, to establish a comprehensive set of socially safe conditions for judges’ (including retired judges) existence that meet standards aligned with their human dignity and are appropriate to the specific nature of their work. The article emphasizes that social protection for judges highlights the primary practical principle that judges (including retired judges and their family members) should feel secure. Consequently, social protection measures that do not aim to restore or maintain an adequate level of social security for these individuals cannot be considered genuine social protection measures. This jeopardizes judges’ independence and autonomy. Moreover, if social protection measures aimed at ensuring social security for judges fail to yield positive outcomes, it suggests the ineffectiveness or inadequacy of such measures. This necessitates a reevaluation and analysis of factors that impede social protection for judges.

LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

The purpose of the article is that its authors have attempted to identify the nature of different types of legal responsibility for the violation of specific socio-economic rights of people with disabilities. For this purpose, through the use of dialectical, comparative legal methods, grouping methods, documentary analysis and analysis, the theoretical-practical and legislative aspects of material (financial), administrative, civil, criminal and disciplinary responsibility for the violation of the rights of persons with disabilities to work, strike, rest, entrepreneurial activity, social protection and social security, housing, health care and rehabilitation and a number of other rights. As a result, specific examples of violations of the social and economic rights of persons with disabilities are given. Emphasis is placed on rare cases of violations of the right to reproductive health of persons with disabilities who wish to become parents, as well as those who are aware of the disability of an unborn child. In this context, the critical situation of persons with disabilities living in prisons, where they are effectively deprived of the right to create a family, is noted. A separate level of violations of the rights of people with disabilities is related to discrimination on the grounds of disability, which manifests itself in all spheres of life of representatives of this category of the population in relation to practically all rights provided for them at the legislative level. The article also mentions frequent cases of violation of the right to an adequate level of social security, to the provision of medicines, to education, to employment, to parking in specially designated places, to free travel on public transport, etc. In connection with such a situation, the institution of responsibility (administrative, civil, criminal, disciplinary and material) for the violation of socio-economic rights of people with disabilities functions. Its grounds and mechanisms of application are defined to varying degrees in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the Code of Administrative Offences of Ukraine, as well as the following laws of Ukraine: "On the Fundamentals of Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine", "On Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine", "On Liability for Offences in the Field of Urban Development" and other regulatory acts. The above conclusions are supported by a series of statistical data on the situation of accessibility of the environment for people with disabilities, their employment, the level of impoverishment of this category of the population, the protection of violated rights before the courts, etc. The value of the proposed article is reduced to the fact that it is a complex scientific work reflecting the author's view of the current state, problems and prospects for development of the field of legal responsibility for violation of socio-economic rights of people with disabilities.

THE COMPLEXITY OF ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF INNOVATION-ORIENTED SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

The current macroeconomic and socio-political situation in Ukraine is extremely complicated by a long period of economic decline, the consequences of the pandemic and the conduct of a full-scale war, which actualizes the issue of maintaining an adequate level of economic security of socio-economic systems and, including, the issue of improving approaches to assessing its current level. The evaluation and analytical processes are one of the most important in the system of ensuring the economic security of socio-economic systems of different hierarchical levels, since, under the conditions of qualitative construction and methodology, they allow not only to evaluate the current situation with the level of economic security, but also to establish a complex of positive and negative factors impact on it and simulate various scenarios of changes in the level of economic security in the nearest and strategic perspectives under their influence. In view of this, the issues of comprehensive assessment of the level of economic security of modern socio-economic systems become particularly acute and actualize the need for their in-depth study. The purpose of the study is to develop approaches to comprehensive assessment of the level of economic security of innovation-oriented socio-economic systems. In the article highlighted the approaches to considering the essence and features of socio-economic systems as a whole and innovation-oriented socio-economic systems as their variety. Carried out the analysis of the fundamental characteristics of socio-economic systems. Substantiated the importance of building highly effective mechanisms for managing the economic security of socio-economic systems of Ukraine in the context of crisis macroeconomic processes and military operations on its territory. Studied the existing approaches to the assessment of economic security with the determination of their shortcomings in the context of ensuring the comprehensiveness of the assessment. Determined the list of key characteristics of the innovation-oriented socio-economic system, which should serve as the basis for the development of a comprehensive methodology for assessing their economic security, and the need to use the spectrum of economic interests of the studied systems in the assessment approach.

A Cyber-Physical System for Integrated Remote Control and Protection of Smart grid Critical Infrastructures

This work proposes a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) for protecting smart electric grid critical infrastructures using video surveillance while remotely monitoring them. Due to the critical nature of the smart grid, it is necessary to guarantee an adequate level of safety, security and reliability. Thus, this CPS is back-boned by a Time-Sensitive Network solution providing concurrent support for smart video surveillance and smart grid control over a single communication infrastructure. To this end, TSN delivers high-bandwidth communication for video surveillance and deterministic quality of service, latency and bandwidth guarantees, required by the time-critical revision smart grid control. On the one hand, the CPS utilizes High-availability Seamless Redundancy in the control subsystem via Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) guaranteeing seamless failover against failures in smart grid. On the other hand, the smart video surveillance subsystem applies machine learning to monitor secured perimeters and detect people around the smart grid critical infrastructure. Moreover, it is also able to directly interoperate with RTUs to send alarms in case of for example, an intrusion. The work evaluates the accuracy and performance of the detection using common metrics in surveillance field. An integrated monitoring dashboard has also been developed in which all CPS information is available in real time.

GFRX: A New Lightweight Block Cipher for Resource-Constrained IoT Nodes

The study of lightweight block ciphers has been a “hot topic”. As one of the main structures of block ciphers, the Feistel structure has attracted much attention. However, the traditional Feistel structure cipher changes only half of the plaintext in an iterative round, resulting in slow diffusion. Therefore, more encryption rounds are required to ensure security. To address this issue, a new algorithm, GFRX, is proposed, which combines a generalized Feistel structure and ARX (Addition or AND, Rotation, XOR). The GFRX algorithm uses an ARX structure with different non-linear components to deal with all the branches of a generalized Feistel structure so that it can achieve a better diffusion effect in fewer rounds. The results of a security analysis of the GFRX algorithm show that the effective differential attacks do not exceed 19 rounds and that the effective linear attacks do not exceed 13 rounds. Therefore, the GFRX algorithm has an adequate security level for differential and linear analysis. Avalanche test results obtained for the GFRX algorithm show that the GFRX algorithm has strong diffusion and only takes six rounds to meet the avalanche effect. In addition, the GFRX algorithm can achieve different serialization levels depending on different hardware resource requirements and can achieve full serialization, which ensures operational flexibility in resource-constrained environments.
