Current taxation of virtual assets and its development prospects

Introduction. This paper is related to the topic which has become more relevant and socially important lately. It concerns the current state of affairs in the taxation of operations related to the circulation of virtual assets, as well as the development prospects of this institution. In the work, a key role is given to those tax relations in which individuals take part as a tax payer. Recently, many scientists in civil, administrative and criminal law fields have studied the social relations associated with the circulation of virtual assets. The study of the subject in tax law field was not an exception, in particular due to the fact that virtual assets are used to make settlements between individuals and legal entities, while the analysis of tax legislation indicates the absence of legal regulation of related activities. The search for possible ways to solve the problem will be work`s red line. Scientists` works, legal acts, individual tax consultations, statements of state authorities, separate opinions of officials, studies conducted by the Ukrainian Economic Research Center, as well as the Internet sources that allow to realize the nature of virtual assets, which are a necessary condition for determining the proper procedure for taxation are used in this work. The purpose of this work is to determine the most effective approaches to taxation of virtual assets that will ensure the conscious cooperation of the state and citizens in the context of paying mandatory payments to the state budget. Results. The contribution of this work consists in the fact that, in addition to the taxation of operations on the exchange of a virtual asset for a monetary equivalent, which has repeatedly been a leading topic for scientific works in the last years, it will contain an analysis of current legislation on the subject of taxation of other operations with virtual assets, such as exchanging one asset for another, mining and staking. Conclusion. In addition to current regulatory and individual legal acts, the paper reveals the concepts of the development of taxation of virtual assets, existing draft laws, their advantages and disadvantages, and express author’s opinions on the main elements of tax liability related to the topic.

Aim: To describe how IHOPE plans to provide training to patient representatives on its guideline committees. Conclusion: Continuous feedback from patient experts improves their experience of working in guideline committees and helps keep the training provided to all patient experts relevant and current.

Job loss during pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.

Does the exposure to job loss during pregnancy increase the risk of miscarriage or stillbirth? The experience of own or partner's job loss during the pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of miscarriageand stillbirth. Prior research on the psycho-social aspect of pregnancy loss has investigated the contextual and the individual-level stressors. At the contextual level, natural disasters, air pollution, and economic downturns are associated with higher risk of pregnancy loss. At the individual level, intense working schedules and financial strain are linked with increased risk of pregnancy loss both at early and later stages of the gestation. This work draws on high-quality individual data of 'Understanding Society', a longitudinal survey that has interviewed a representative sample of households living in the UK annually since 2009. Approximately 40000 households were recruited. The analyses use all the available survey waves (1-12, 2009-2022). The final sample consisted of 8142 pregnancy episodes that contain complete informationon pregnancy outcome and date of conception. Ongoing pregnancies at the time of the interview were excluded from the final sample. The outcome variable indicated whether a pregnancy resulted in a live birth or a pregnancy loss whereas the exposure variable identified the women's or their partner's job loss because of redundancy or a dismissal. Logistic regression models were employed to estimate the relation between job loss during pregnancy and pregnancy loss. The models were adjusted for an array of socio-demographic and economic characteristics following a stepwise approach. Several sensitivity analyses complemented the main findings. Baseline models controlling for women's demographic background and prior experience of miscarriage estimated an increased risk of pregnancy loss when women were exposed to their own or their partner's job loss during their pregnancy (odds ratio (OR) = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.32, 2.99). When the models were adjusted for all socio-economic and partnership-related covariates the association remained robust (OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.73). First, the pregnancy outcome and the date of conception were self-reported and may besubjected to recall and social desirability bias. Second, although we adjusted for an array socio-demographic characteristics and self-reported health, other contextual factors might be correlated with both job loss and pregnancy loss. Third, owing to the limited sample size, we could not assess if the main finding holds across different socio-economic strata. By showing that exposure to a job loss during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth, we underline the relevance of pregnancy loss as a preventable public health matter. This result also calls for policy designthat enhances labour market protection and social security buffers for pregnant women and their partners.

Resources of Islamic Countries

This study examines the potential outcomes of uniting the resources of Muslim countries. Despite the challenges in obtaining accurate data, various representative approaches are proposed. Among the institutions that collect such data is the Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Center for Islamic Countries (SESRIC), which is under the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The analysis focuses on the sufficiency of energy, food, and industrial raw materials in Muslim nations. However, it emphasizes the need for adjustments to improve economic interdependence among these countries, reducing their reliance on developed nations that once colonized them. Furthermore, the study acknowledges the ongoing work required to tap into intangible resources effectively. The findings underscore the anticipated benefits and ease that can be achieved through collaborative efforts among Muslim countries, paving the way for improved resource utilization and collective advancement.

The Long-Term Impact of Famine Experience on Harvest Losses

Approximately one-third of the global food supply is lost or wasted each year. Given that the harvesting process is the initial stage following food production, minimizing losses in this crucial phase holds paramount significance in augmenting the food supply and ensuring food security. The 1959–1961 famine in China was one of the most catastrophic events in history and had long-term effects on human beings, particularly farmers. This paper aims to provide a new perspective on the variations in harvest losses across age cohorts by examining the impact of famine experiences. Using survey data from the 2016 Postproduction Food Loss and Waste Survey conducted by China Agricultural University and the Rural Economic Research Center, which involved 3538 farming households across 28 provinces, we construct a cohort difference-in-difference (DID) model to investigate the impact of famine experience on household harvest losses. The standard cohort DID estimation results indicate that in areas with severe famine, a 1% increase in excess mortality would reduce the rate of harvest loss by 3%, suggesting that farmers who have experienced extreme famine have a deeper memory of the event, which subsequently helps them reduce harvest losses. Moreover, the results of the heterogeneity test reveal that the more serious the famine that the household head experienced in early life was, the less harvest losses there were, particularly for those who were adolescents during the famine. The findings elucidate the importance of historical events in shaping current behaviors and contribute to a better understanding of the variation in harvest losses across age cohorts.
