The article analyzes the peculiarities of the institutional and regulatory framework that forms the basis for cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the field of local self-government reform. It has been established that the main act defining the legal framework in the field of local self-government is the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, which serves as a roadmap for the implementation of this reform. The EU and Ukrainian institutions involved in the implementation of local self-government reform have been identified. It was found that the common institutional formats are: the Ukraine-EU Summit, the Ukraine-EU Association Council, the civil society platform, the EU’s Eastern Partnership Initiative, and cross-border cooperation within the framework of Euroregions. Key internal and external constraints on the institutional and legal dimensions of interaction between the parties have been identified. The main obstacles hindering the process of interaction within the framework of this reform are the lack of a framework agreement in the field of local self-government, the low capacity of some communities to implement reforms, the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the economic crisis, the occupation of territories and military actions, and the differences between European and Ukrainian legislation. The article uses the SWOT analysis method to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional and legal dimensions of cooperation between the parties. Recommendations are made to improve cooperation between the EU and Ukraine, in particular the signing of a framework agreement on local self-government to regulate the strengthening of local self -government reform, the need for the EU to strengthen its monitoring of the reform, increasing the capacity of communities, involving local self-government associations in the EU-Ukraine dialogue, and creating contact platforms for interaction between Ukrainian and European communities. The conclusions emphasize that Ukraine’s accession to the EU will be a driving force for successful local self-government reform.

Mapping the Evolution and Intellectual Structure of Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI): A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
  • Apr 13, 2026

  • Nuha Hamed Al-Subhi + 2 more

The proliferation of marine data presents both an opportunity for ocean governance and a challenge, contributing to fragmentation across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) stands out as a major framework for integrating marine information. However, an integrated synthesis that combines quantitative mapping of publication patterns with qualitative analysis of thematic evolution remains absent. This study employs a two-step approach combining systematic review and bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed literature (2000–2024). Based on a focused corpus of 20 publications rigorously screened for explicit MSDI relevance, we examine publication trends, collaboration patterns, thematic structures, and evolutionary trajectories. Results indicate accelerating scholarly interest in MSDI, with European institutions contributing 75% of the analysed publications. Policy frameworks such as the INSPIRE Directive (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) emerge as key drivers of research activity. Temporal analysis of this corpus suggests a tentative five-phase evolution in MSDI research: (1) foundational technical standardisation, (2) governance model implementation, (3) semantic interoperability enhancement, (4) policy integration, and (5) advanced applications incorporating FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These phases, derived from systematic coding of thematic focus across publications, represent observed patterns within the analysed literature rather than definitive stages. This paper concludes that MSDI is moving toward a more socio-technical approach that requires the consideration of a technical-focused tool in present-day ocean governance. Future work should combine semantic AI, decentralised architectures, polycentric governance models, and impact assessment frameworks to align MSDI development with the objectives of equity, inclusion, and sustainability.

  • Ke Huang + 24 more

Asthma is a common chronic disease responsible for a considerable disease burden in China and around the world. Despite its burden, there is substantial unmet need for asthma care, including screening, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Symptom-based screening for asthma could support identification of undiagnosed asthma patients, as well as reference to higher-level hospitals for formal diagnoses and treatment. This study focuses on identifying suspected asthma patients and encouraging them to seek formal diagnoses and treatment. This approach aligns with the novel concept of population medicine, which aims to maximize overall population health rather than focusing on individual patients within the health system. We are conducting a two-arm population-based stratified clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of a population medicine multimorbidity intervention package. The intervention integrates community screening, chronic disease management, patient education, digital follow-up, and team-based care. The trial is being implemented in Xishui County, Guizhou Province, a mountainous low-resource county in Southwestern China, covering 26 townships and more than 300,000 permanent residents. We considered each of the 26 townships in Xishui County as a cluster and stratified them into large and small townships based on population size. Townships with an above-average population were designated as "large," and those with a below-average population were designated as "small." We randomized the same number of residents in each township stratum (large and small) to undergo the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) for identifying suspected asthma patients. Individuals identified as suspected asthma patients were considered study participants and subsequently enrolled in the intervention or control arm. All participants in the intervention arm are followed for one year, with one telephone follow-up at month three and in-person follow-ups at months six and 12, while participants in the control arm are followed only at baseline and 12months. Primary outcomes include the number of chronic conditions controlled, whether the participant received lung function testing, and Asthma Control Test (ACT) score. In addition, we are evaluating 42 secondary outcomes covering physiological and functional indicators such as lung function, health-related quality of life, mental health, behavioral risk factors, healthcare utilization, productivity loss, knowledge of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and care cascade indicators for asthma and other chronic diseases. This cRCT has been featured as an important case study in the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health report to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated intervention package on priority conditions. The trial was designed under population medicine principles, with an aim providing holistic care and enhancing the overall health status of suspected asthma patients. The results of the trial will inform the next generation of multimorbidity management and population medicine practices among global health authorities and practitioners. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06457009. Registered on June 7, 2024.

Effect of mannoproteins on red wine colour stability: new insights from collaborative OIV work
  • Apr 7, 2026
  • OENO One
  • Alessandra Rinaldi + 14 more

Since 2005, mannoproteins (MPs) have been authorised by the European Community (EU, regulation 2165/2005) as an additive for tartaric and protein stabilisation. However, their effect on colour stabilisation in red wine is still a matter for debate in research due to the nature of the product, timing, dose, and wine variety. In recent years, the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) expert working group has been carrying out collaborative work to elucidate the role of MPs in red wine. The aim of the present work is to show the results of the third year of a study in which five laboratories performed the same analyses on the same wines. Three mannoproteins (A, B, C) at two concentrations (20–40 g/hL) were added to two wines (French and Italian). The equilibration period was one week at cellar temperature (15–18 °C). The wines were then analysed at two aging time points: after one month and five months. The analyses consisted of a cold stability test, CIEL*a*b* coordinates, colour parameters (Abs 420–520–620 nm), and a copigmentation index. An analysis of individual anthocyanins and the characterisation of the MPs was also carried out. Results were expressed as the means of four repetitions carried out in five laboratories. Besides slight variations in colorant intensity and CIEL*a*b* coordinates, none of the wines showed differences visible to the human eye. MPs seem to prevent the loss or degradation of molecular anthocyanins at one month aging. The copigmentation index seemed to increase depending mainly on MP typology, with no difference between the two tested doses, indicating that the 20 g/hL concentration may be appropriate for these wines. The stability of the colouring matter was always observed after the MP treatment. However, the multivariate analyses revealed that after five months of aging the MP-C was the most effective for both wines. Finally, the effect on stability of the colouring matter is MP-dependent, the mannose content (>80 %) and molecular weight (37 < kDa < 79) being the critical factors for the effectiveness of MPs in red wine colour stability.

  • Dr Didier François Diégane Diop

The detailed examination of such a subject will be carried out on the basis of a fundamental problem, which will thus serve as a guideline in the presentation of the ideas which should underlie the approach. In this case, we are talking about the question of trade serving the inclusion and entrepreneurship of women in order to better promote their emancipation. In other words, how do trade standards or rules, through an inclusive and non-exclusivist policy, work to better take into account the role and integration of women in the Multilateral Trading System? Thus the problem of method is at the heart of any scientific work as it is true that the method sheds light on the hypotheses and determines the conclusions, our approach will be ordered with a few exceptions around the use of the analytical and exegetical but also comparative method. It is understood as the analysis, interpretation and explanation of the rules of law, particularly those contained in the various legal texts of the GATT and the WTO. As for the expected results, firstly, like the GSP, special preferences annihilate the MFN clause. If this questioning is justified in the “bananas” jurisprudence by the dismantling of both the Community development cooperation policy and special preferences, it is not justified by the enabling clause. Indeed, know the Lomé convention weighed a sword of Damocles which made the status quo fragile. Long immune to any challenge, Lomé's trade regime was shaken in the early 1990s. Its gradual questioning opened the way to a plethora of litigation which continues to this day. The contentious inflation caused by the “banana” regime revealed the ineffectiveness of a defunct dispute settlement system which pushed the Contracting Parties to strengthen the power of sanction through the creation of an integrated judicial body. As a result, WTO jurisprudence had to deal with a symbolic case which legally established the dismantling of specific preferences. It's the Banana affair. But the preferences were able to be maintained for a transitional period until December 2007, thanks to a waiver granted at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha. Indeed, the significance of the Banana affair is considerable for the ACP countries. After a long period of tolerance of special preferences incompatible with the principle of non-discrimination within the framework of the GATT, the WTO recognized their illegality and thus opened a period of renewal of the MFN clause. Then, at the level of special preferences, this dissonance was especially marked in the Lomé Conventions, by an asymmetric system of positive discrimination of the ACP in trade preferences and by a transition regime derogating from the principles of multilateralism and the original trade instruments. The latter takes into account the legal debate for a normalization of EU-WTO relations, namely the conflicts arbitrated by the WTO and the commercial policy according to the Cotonou Agreement, that is to say the exception to normalization. The era of the new WTO will be that of calling into question discriminatory special preferences. Some developing countries rightly do not condone other countries in the same category benefiting from preferential trade arrangements that contradict multilateral trade rules. This is the beginning of the dismantling of special preferences. The European preferential offer has known two eras and two different regimes. If the Yaoundé conventions were symmetrical and based on reciprocity, the Lomé conventions were asymmetrical and implied non-reciprocal trade preferences, discriminatory and contrary to GATT, although tolerated. The observation of the illegality of trade preferences arising from the Lomé conventions placed the European communities before an alternative: maintain the preferences and therefore non-reciprocity

The US internationalist policy on Upper Silesia in 1918–19
  • Mar 28, 2026
  • European Review of History: Revue européenne d'histoire
  • Krzysztof Siwek

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to examine the position of the United States towards a crucial East-Central European question of Upper Silesia from 1918 to 1919 within the context of the US internationalist design for the post-war European order. The article reveals the approach of the administration of Thomas Woodrow Wilson to the Polish-German dispute over Upper Silesia as a problem of East-Central European and continental dimension, closely affecting both political and economic conditions in Eastern Europe. The US delegation at the Paris Peace Conference sought to establish a kind of international control over Upper Silesia, particularly in economic terms. Instead of ‘nationalist’ and contentious frontiers, which threatened European security, the United States intended to keep cohesion of Silesian industrial regions that harmonized with the Wilsonian idea of a democratic community of nations. Despite an apparent failure of Wilson’s project of a European liberal community after 1919, the internationalist perspective determined the US attitude towards the Upper Silesian question and the Polish-German frontier as crucial East-Central European issues in this period of the twentieth century.

Assembling Eurocapitalism
  • Mar 24, 2026
  • Modern Intellectual History
  • Marc Dorpema

This article traces the creation of Eurocapitalism as a response distinct from neoliberalism to the challenges of the 1970s. By reconsidering the historical relationship between the European project’s competition law regime and its environmental policies, it suggests that the European Community has, since the late 1960s, constituted a unique form of Eurocapitalist development project, one that, in several fundamental respects, differed markedly from the neoliberal developments that characterized the American Leviathan. The article thereby also unearths the global origins of a Eurocapitalist ecology, demonstrating the long lineage of industrial programs like the EU’s Green Deal as tools to tackle climate change.

Cleaning products and classes associated with poor respiratory health.

  • Xin Dai + 8 more

Exposure to cleaning products may harm the lungs, mainly through inhalation of irritants and sensitising chemicals, which can induce airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Given increased use of multiple cleaning products at work and home, understanding the impacts of their interplay, rather than individual exposures, is critical but has not been investigated to date. We aim to investigate the cross-sectional association between exposure to cleaning products at home and/or in the workplace and respiratory health. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 318 adults from the Melbourne arm of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) III. Cleaning product exposure was assessed through questionnaires, categorising participant exposure into seven product groups. Latent class analysis was used to identify exposure classes. Adjusted multivariable regression modelled associations between cleaning product classes and respiratory outcomes. We identified four classes of exposure to cleaning products: "minimal users", "light users", "moderate users", "heavy users". The most exposed "heavy user group" characterised people using many different cleaning products on a weekly basis (especially bleach, sprays, polish, solvents, acids). This class was associated with increased risks of current asthma (OR, 3.24; 95% CI 1.19-8.77), and lower post-bronchodilator FEV1 (z-score, -0.47) and FVC (-0.46) compared with "minimal users". This work used a data-driven latent class approach to capture real-world cleaning product use patterns and relate them to respiratory health. We found that frequent use of multiple cleaning products was linked to more asthma and lower lung function, suggesting potential combined effects. These findings highlight the need for cleaning product standards and asthma care guidelines to mitigate risks associated with cleaning products.

  • Vasyl Shynkaruk + 1 more

Modern geopolitical challenges and the need for Ukraine's active integration into the global information space have determined the importance of cross-cultural communication in shaping a positive national image. The purpose of the study was to clarify the role of cross-cultural communication in forming a positive image of Ukraine in the international arena and to identify effective mechanisms for its application. It was demonstrated that cross-cultural communication enabled Ukraine to establish mutual understanding with different nations, thereby fostering trust, support, and solidarity in the global arena. It was emphasised that the issue of forming a positive image of Ukraine worldwide is strategically significant in the context of its integration into the European and global community. The study showed that through language, art, science, education, diplomacy, and other forms of communication, Ukraine can convey its values, history, traditions, and contemporary achievements to the international community, as well as overcome stereotypes and build trust. Furthermore, cross-cultural interaction allowed the Ukrainian people to demonstrate their identity, resilience, and spiritual strength, which was particularly important in the context of the struggle for independence and international subjectivity. It was established that cross-cultural communication was not only a means of cultural exchange but also a powerful instrument of strategic communication that enabled Ukraine to shape a positive image, strengthen international ties, and consolidate its position on the global stage. The study substantiated that the development of cross-cultural competence contributed to improving the quality of foreign policy, diplomatic, media, and cultural interaction. Through intercultural dialogue and the promotion of Ukrainian identity, art, language, and values, the state can form an attractive, open, and progressive image and positively influence international partnership, tourism, investment attractiveness, and cultural diplomacy. These elements constituted key components of Ukraine's sustainable development strategy in the global environment. The results of the study may be applied in further theoretical research on cultural diplomacy

Explicit and implicit school leaving: how to combine the two measures?
  • Mar 18, 2026
  • Rivista Italiana di Economia Demografia e Statistica
  • Barbara Baldazzi + 2 more

Insufficient mastery of fundamental skills hinders entry into the labor market and, more broadly, impedes the attainment of a high quality of life. Early Leavers from Education and Training (ELET), defined by ISTAT as the proportion of 18 to 24-year-olds holding at most a secondary school leaving certificate and not currently enrolled in any educational or training program, serves as the established indicator for early school leaving. This metric is standardized at the European level. The European Community had set a target for Italy to achieve a 10% ELET rate by 2020. In 2020, Italy's ELET rate stood at 14.2%, decreasing to 9.8% in 2024. However, ELET data alone do not fully capture the scope of the early school leaving problem. Students who complete upper secondary education without acquiring the minimum required competencies are not accounted for in this calculation. INVALSI data allows for the observation of this phenomenon, which we term Implicit Leavers from Education and Training (ILET). Implicit school leaving constitutes a problem of equal significance to explicit early school leaving. Quantifying the share of ILET is challenging, but since 2019, INVALSI assessments have provided a representation of this phenomenon. Individuals who, despite graduating, do not achieve at least Level 3 in the Italian language and Mathematics tests, and who fail to reach Level B1 in Reading and Listening in English, possess competence levels aligning with the educational objectives set for eighth-grade students—considerably below the expected proficiency for their educational attainment. The ability to measure the overall phenomenon of school leaving furnishes schools and policymakers with crucial information. This paper aims to estimate the total school leaving rate by statistically matching data from ISTAT (for ELET) and INVALSI (for ILET). A general dispersion estimate will be derived using ISTAT data for ELET and INVALSI data for ILET at the regional level.

Criticality Accidents That Occurred in Research Reactor Facilities in France

  • Fabien Duret + 2 more

So far, in France, no criticality accident has occurred in a process facility. However, three accidents happened in research facilities. The first one, notably mentioned in “A Review of Criticality Accidents,” by P. McLaughlin et al. (LA-13638, p. 97, Los Alamos National Laboratory (May 2000)], and thoroughly described in “A Review of Criticality Incidents Within the European Community,” by M. C. Evans (presented at Summer Meeting of the American Nuclear Society, New Orleans, Louisiana, June 1984), occurred in the ALIZE critical assembly, a water-reflected and -moderated UO2 assembly, at the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique site in Saclay in March 1960. A similar event occurred in October 1968 at the same site, in the ISIS experimental pool-type reactor (“The Saclay ISIS Reactor and Its Applications,” by A. Alberman et al. presented at International Symposium on the Use and Development of Low and Medium Flux Research Reactors, Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 1983). The ISIS reactor was designed to conduct tests related to new reactor configurations of the OSIRIS core, as well as fuel and irradiation experiments. The third one occurred in 1971. This paper presents and compares these three accidents, which had little or no consequences for operators and the environment, to prevent them from being forgotten due to their age, the lack of associated documents, and generational replacement.

A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF EUROPEAN UNION, A CATALYST TO INTEGRATION OF EUROPE
  • Mar 1, 2026
  • Innovare Journal of Social Sciences
  • Aluko Yemi Ebenezer

The paper examines the European Union (EU) as a catalyst to the integration of Europe. It discusses the geographical location of Europe. The origin, membership, aims, and organs of the EU came to focus. It assesses the EU as an agent of integration of Europe. The data were obtained from the primary and secondary sources. An oral interview constitutes the primary source. Books, Journals, Newspapers, Theses, Dissertations, etc., were used as secondary sources. It was found that attempts were made to establish associations with the mandate of the integration of Europe before the formation of the EU. It was also demonstrated that the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 renamed the European Community to the EU. It was also found that the custom union, common currency, and the European common market were part of the integration process. In conclusion, the EU has a lot of challenges confronting the realization of the mandate.

The genesis of European standards for history teaching: an analysis of the 1980s regulatory framework of international organizations
  • Feb 26, 2026
  • ScienceRise: Pedagogical Education
  • Leonid Shalashnyi

The article is devoted to the comprehensive study of the transformation of historical education in the European context during the 1980s and early 1990s. The transition of history teaching from an ideological tool of political influence to a fundamental instrument for fostering democratic values, multiculturalism, and tolerance among the youth was analyzed. In the course of the research, emphasis was placed on the pivotal role of supranational organizations, such as the Council of Europe and the European Communities (later the European Union), in shaping the modern pedagogical landscape. A retrospective analysis of foundational documents was conducted, including Recommendation No. R (83) 4 and Recommendation No. R (85) 7, which laid the groundwork for the "European dimension" in education. It was proven that these international regulations were not merely reactive to geopolitical shifts but acted as visionary frameworks that anticipated the integration of Eastern European nations into the common democratic fold even before the official collapse of the socialist bloc. The process of anthropologization of history, where the national narrative is perceived through the lens of migration, cultural exchange, and minority rights, was examined within the context of promoting multiperspectivity. Furthermore, the influence of these early regulatory standards on the establishment of professional networks like EUROCLIO and their subsequent impact on teacher training methodologies was explored. The core principles established over thirty years ago were identified as the cornerstone of modern European educational policy, significantly influencing contemporary educational reforms in Ukraine and ensuring the continuity of democratic traditions in history teaching

Challenges and opportunities in restoring European free-flowing rivers
  • Feb 25, 2026
  • Nature Conservation
  • Twan Stoffers + 5 more

Free-flowing rivers (FFRs) across Europe hold high ecological value and clear economic benefits. They support biodiversity by providing habitats for a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial species and strengthen local economies through sustainable practices while reducing the need for costly artificial flood control and water treatment. Rivers also carry deep cultural meaning for European communities, shaping identity, belonging, and wellbeing. Given this ecological, economic, and cultural weight, we argue that safeguarding remaining near-natural or pristine rivers should be the first priority, alongside restoring degraded systems, where meaningful gains are feasible. Herein, we review definitions, restoration objectives, and historical changes in FFRs, and highlight the importance of setting realistic reference conditions that recognise both ecological constraints and future climate change. We stress the value of combining multiple temporal and spatial perspectives in project design and discuss practical restoration and rehabilitation approaches, including the role of stakeholder involvement and public awareness, to achieve successful outcomes. We then consider how biodiversity and climate policies can support protection, restoration, and long-term management of river ecosystems across Europe. Finally, we examine the opportunities and challenges tied to implementing the Nature Restoration Regulation and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, as well as other policy initiatives, that can help remove obstacles and create better conditions for accelerating progress in restoring free-flowing rivers. Near-pristine rivers should be protected immediately, even with incomplete data. Freshwater systems need more political attention and stronger stakeholder involvement. Solutions for FFR restoration should be tailor-made for each unique situation. FFRs connect diverse ecosystems, needing both meta- and local ecosystem approaches. Few reference rivers exist; clarifying reference sites and ecological conditions is needed.

Reconstruction of the lifeways of Central European Late Bronze Age communities using ancient DNA, isotope and osteoarchaeological analyses.
  • Feb 24, 2026
  • Nature communications
  • Eleftheria Orfanou + 34 more

The Late Bronze Age (ca. 1300-800 BCE) of Central Europe is often characterised as a period of increasing mobility, socioeconomic transformation, environmental fluctuations, and expanding cultural networks. However, reconstructing the demographic aspects of these changes has been hindered by cremation being the dominant mortuary practice, limiting biomolecular approaches. Here, we integrate ancient DNA, oxygen and strontium isotope analyses, and osteoarchaeology to examine rare inhumation burials from Kuckenburg and Esperstedt in Central Germany (n = 36) and compare them to contemporaneous inhumations from the neighbouring regions of South Germany, Bohemia (Czechia) and Southwest/Central Poland (n = 33). Genome-wide data show genetic continuity with preceding Early Bronze Age populations, alongside gradual increases in Early European Farmer-related ancestry, albeit with regionally different timing and extent, reflecting a nuanced pattern of mobility and admixture. Oxygen and strontium isotope data from Central Germany indicate that most individuals match the local isotope signal, including those who were cremated or had a different diet, and with only a few isotopic outliers, suggesting that mobility was present but not extensive. Overall, our findings suggest that the diverse inhumation practices at Kuckenburg and Esperstedt were culturally motivated, reflecting local traditions and ongoing regional interconnectedness rather than the influx of new genetic groups or non-local individuals.

Judicial ex ante control over inspections of business entities by the Antimonopoly committee of Ukraine and its territorial offices: legislative shortcomings and ways to address them

This article examines legislative changes in the form of introducing judicial control over inspections of business entities by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and its territorial branches. These changes are aimed at preliminary judicial authorization of the regulator’s actions related to inspections and audits of business entities by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and its territorial branches. Such judicial authorization serves as an additional safeguard to determine whether there are real grounds for conducting such an inspection and taking the corresponding list of procedural actions as a result of such an inspection, such as seizure of property, sealing of premises, etc. It is determined that one of the objectives that the legislator sought to achieve by introducing the relevant amendments was to bring Ukrainian competition law and practice closer to the acquis communautaire of the European Community. In accordance with Article 256 of the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, on the other hand, ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 16 September 2014, Ukraine has assumed the relevant obligations. It has been established that this course of development of the current legislation is undoubtedly correct and justified. The mechanism of judicial control over the legality of conducting inspections and performing procedural actions by antimonopoly authorities is examined using the example of Germany. In particular, it is determined that German legislation establishes mandatory judicial authorization for antimonopoly authorities in the event of a search on the territory of a business entity. A number of legislative shortcomings existing in the mechanism of judicial control over inspections of business entities by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and its territorial offices are highlighted, including: the inconsistency and illogical placement of Article 252-1 of the Commercial Procedure Code of Ukraine («Specifics of case consideration under simplified claim procedure upon motions of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, territorial office of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine») into Chapter 1 of Section IV «Appeal Proceedings»; the uncertainty of the procedural status of case participants in this category of cases; the absence of the ruling issued as a result of considering the motion of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and its territorial offices for permission to inspect an business entity in the list of rulings provided for by Article 255 of the Commercial Procedure Code of Ukraine for separate appeal from the court decision; the lack of regulation regarding the determination of territorial jurisdiction (venue) in cases upon motions of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and its territorial offices regarding the inspection of business entities. A number of ways to address the identified legislative shortcomings, which are set out in the conclusions of this article, are also proposed.

How to integrate library data into GoTriple

Purpose. This report presents a showcase for the collaboration between a national and a European research data infrastructure and community service. First, the organisational and technical approaches are explained. In the second part, examples for data integration are proposed together with participants. Finally, possible transfer and application of the presented workflow are discussed. Approach/Methodology. Following a joint analysis by the Text+ and GoTriple teams, developing a dedicated MARC 21 connector for SCRE was identified as the optimal strategy for integrating Text+. This enabled the import of SSH publications from the German National Library (DNB) into GoTriple. This decision also potentially facilitates the integration of relevant SSH collections managed by other libraries, as MARC 21 is an important standard for library cataloguing and data exchange. Results. There have been several technical challenges in this integration. First of all, MARC 21 is a complex protocol, not easily processed. In this case, the use of dedicated, opensource software libraries was particularly helpful. In addition, multiple options had to be evaluated and tested before a suitable solution for harvesting DNB in GoTriple, as presented here, was found. Originality/Value. The presented example of GoTriple and one of the Text+ resource providers (German National Library) can serve as a best practice for integrating more library catalogue data into the GoTriple platform. It also provides a model for the essential communication and collaboration workflow needed to estimate the effort required for future data integration into GoTriple at the level of an exemplary national infrastructure.
