Relational Resilience in The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After and Call Me American: A Memoir

Resilient autobiography emphasizes the relational aspect of life writing, drawing on human relationships that have added to the adversity in life recounted, but also builds on human connections that have encouraged and enabled survival. This paper examines resilience in Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil’s The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After, which recounts Wamariya’s experiences of fleeing the Rwandan genocide. The other text considered is Abdi Nor Iftin and Max Alexander’s Call Me American: A Memoir, which depicts Iftin’s life in Somalia during the 1990s and relocation to Kenya and then the USA. The two autobiographical texts present resilience not only as survival but as embodied within the memoirs through the selves presented in the narratives. Resilience emerges as endurance in the face of hardship and suffering, and as a counterforce in various relational contexts, to traumatic personal and collective pasts. Both memoirs exemplify the devastating effects of war, displacement and personal loss, where trauma becomes entrenched in efforts made for survival. The attempt to reorder and repossess trauma can also be seen as an act of resilience. The personal narrative is interpreted and put into writing from the perspective of the person whose life is in focus but also through the eyes of an external observer. The life recounted can therefore be seen as both autobiographically and biographically produced.

Uncertain festival futures: how European music festival organisers navigate ‘loss’

Risk management and the navigation of loss are inherent to working conditions within the festival industry. With festivals cancelled, postponed or redesigned, the coronacrisis has deeply affected the already uncertain festival sector. Based on thirty-five interviews with Danish, Dutch and British music festival organisers, this article examines which losses organisers experienced when faced with a social trauma that disrupted their ontological security. Additionally, it analyses how they have coped and responded to this situation via organisational and emotional strategies. Three phases in how organisers cope with loss are identified, where organisational and individual responses play varying, complementary roles: (1) imminent short-term loss and its realisation, (2) acceptance of short-term loss and (3) moving beyond loss. The analysis reveals how managing potential personal loss and facing organisational crisis should not merely be seen in terms of a rational decision-making process but is also mediated by emotional losses organisers experience as not only their livelihood, but their work identity is existentially challenged. Implications are drawn on the nature of cultural work, with attention to the entwinement of personal and professional identities.

CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL CORRELATION IN ACUTE AND SUBACUTE LOW BACK PAIN IN ADULT MALES OF 20 TO 30 YEAR AGE GROUP

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common health problems affecting 75% to 85% of the general population. Young adults are suffering from LBP more frequently than in the past, where loss of working days is a great personal and national loss. This study aims to determine the correlation of clinical features with plain radiograph and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ndings in adult males of 20 to 30 years age group. 100 male patients with acute or subacute low backache were enrolled in the present study. Personal details and history noted and clinical examination was performed. The Oswestry disability index was used for quantication of pain. Plain radiograph and MRI was done. The plain radiograph and MRI ndings were correlated with the clinical ndings. The mean age of patients was 25.18±3.28 years. Sensory loss was found in 15% and paraesthesia in 18% cases. The mean Oswestry lower back pain score was 16.66±10.44. The most common abnormality found on plain radiograph was abnormal disc intensity followed by reduced disc height. The most common abnormality found on MRI was disc bulge followed by abnormal disc intensity. The most common site for osteophytes was anterior of L4 vertebral body followed by anterior of L3. There was a poor agreement between clinical ndings and radiological ndings. Both plain x-ray and MRI imaging found a signicantly higher rate of spine changes which did not correlate well with clinical & neurological ndings

General theoretical analysis of the legal personality of associations of legal entities

The article is devoted to the analysis of complex systems of legal entities with the possibility of "delegation" of legal personality, such as the association of legal entities. The difference between the association of legal entities as a subject of law and as a process is highlighted.
 The basic features of associations of legal entities that influence the volume and content of the legal personality of such entities are determined, such as: the presence of a separate legal entity, a special subjective composition of the founders of associations of legal entities, special method of creation, special the legal personality of the founders and the association itself. The complexity of the legal institute of legal personality of associations of legal entities is substantiated. The author describes the process of delegation of the legal personality of the founders - legal entities to the association, the distinction between "own" and "delegated" legal personality of the association of legal entities is described and their relationship is described. A comparative analysis of the possibility of "delegating" the legal personality of legal entities to public and private law is carried out.
 The author defined the features of the legal personality of the associations of legal entities of public law: both the founders and the association itself. The example of a separate association of legal entities of public law shows the level of loss of legal personality by the founders and the impact on them of the association itself, which is due to a significant social need. Another example describes the unification of local self-government bodies, where there is no loss of legal personality by founders, but on the contrary expands at the expense of new opportunities for such an association.
 The main types of associations of legal entities and differences in the volume and content of the legal personality of founders and association are described. The main disadvantages of understanding and application of the investigated institute in Ukraine are considered and compared with similar European law institutes.
 In the conclusions to this article, the author substantiates the relevance and necessity of further research in this area, as well as the necessity of reforming the national legislation and the need to bring it to the generally accepted standards.
 In general, the author carried out a comprehensive analysis of special forms of legal personality on the example of associations of legal entities.

Tracing Loss in Times of Rapid Climate Change: Figures of Absence in Omar El Akkad’s American War

ABSTRACT Omar El Akkad’s American War (2017) presents a dark vision of what the United States might devolve into if climate change, haphazard adaptation, and the political polarisation of the country continue unchecked. Analysing the four overarching facets of trace—visibility, materiality, environment, and human interaction—on the level of the novel’s narrative composition, the article argues that El Akkad offers more than just a cognitively estranged story about the making of a future American terrorist. Foregrounding the complex relationship between its central protagonist’s personal losses and the bitter war she fights in a climate-changed environment, American War deliberately employs what El Akkad has called “weaponized empathy” to allow readers to understand on a visceral level what drives people’s thoughts and actions once they have been robbed of the things and people they care for and embody the traces of what has been lost.

Accountancy for E-Business Enterprises Based on Cyber Security

E-businesses (EBEs) may commit legal offenses due to perpetrating cybercrime while doing the commercial activity. According to the findings, various obstacles might deter cybercrime throughout accounting. The study examined the present laws for accounting policy elements and determined those aspects that should be included in the administrative document for e-business enterprise accounting policies. E-businesses must avoid cyber-crime (CC), which has a detrimental influence on the company's brand and diminishes client loyalty to ensure their success. According to the study's findings, the use of information and control functions of accounting can help prevent cyber-crime in the bookkeeping system by increasing the content of individual internal rules. The authors intended to make online payments for EBE-CC as safe, easy, and fast as possible. However, the internet is known for making its users feel anonymous. E-commerce (EC) transactions are vulnerable to cybercrime, resulting in considerable money and personal information losses.

Impact of a Low-Insulin-Stimulating Bread on Weight Development-A Real Life Randomised Controlled Trial.

The impact on body weight development is usually analysed by comparing different diet types. Our approach was to change only one component, namely bread, common to most diets. In a single-centre triple-blind randomised controlled trial the effects of two different breads on body weight were analyzed without further lifestyle modification. Overweight adult volunteers (n = 80) were randomised 1:1 to exchange previously consumed breads for either a rye bread from milled whole grain (control) or a medium-carbohydrate, low-insulin-stimulating bread (intervention). Pre-tests demonstrated that the two bread types strongly differed in the glucose and insulin response elicited, but had similar energy content, texture and taste. The primary endpoint was the estimated treatment difference (ETD) in change of body weight after 3 months of treatment. Whereas body weight remained unchanged in the control group (-0.1 ± 2.0 kg), significant weight reduction was observed in the intervention group (-1.8 ± 2.9 kg), with an ETD of -1.7 ± 0.2 kg (p = 0.007), that was more pronounced in participants ≥ 55 years (-2.6 ± 3.3 kg), paralleled by significant reductions in body mass index and hip circumference. Moreover, in the intervention group, the percentage of participants with significant weight loss (≥1 kg) was twice as high as in the control group (p < 0.001). No other statistically significant changes in clinical or lifestyle parameters were noted. Simply exchanging a common insulinogenic bread for a low-insulin-stimulating bread demonstrates potential to induce weight loss in overweight persons, especially those at older age.

Epidemiology and Economic Cost Analysis of Microbial Keratitis from a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Australia.

Microbial keratitis is the most common cause of infective vision loss. The causative organism varies by region, and most cases require intensive antimicrobial therapy. The purpose of this study was to analyse the causative organisms of microbial keratitis, its presentation and economic burden from a tertiary referral hospital in Australia. A retrospective review of 160 cases of microbial keratitis was performed, over a 5-year period from 2015-2020. A wide variety of costs were considered to determine the economic burden, using standardized data from the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority and the cost of personal income loss. Our study showed the most commonly occurring pathogens were Herpes Simplex (16%), Staphylococcus aureus (15.1%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.3%). A total of 59.3% of patients were admitted, with a median length of admission of 7 days. Median cost for all presentations of microbial keratitis was AUD 8013 (USD 5447), with costs significantly increasing with admission. The total annual cost of microbial keratitis within Australia is estimated to be AUD 13.58 million (USD 9.23 million). Our findings demonstrate that microbial keratitis represents a significant economic burden for eye-related diseases and the key driving factor for the cost is the length of admission. Minimizing the duration of admission, or opting for outpatient management where appropriate, would significantly reduce the cost of treatment for microbial keratitis.

A qualitative study of older adult trauma survivors' experiences in acute care and early recovery.

Older adults (aged ≥ 65 yr) account for a substantial proportion of hospital admissions for severe injury, yet little is known about their care experiences and views regarding outcomes. We sought to characterize the acute care and early recovery experiences of older adults who had been discharged after traumatic injury, with a long-term goal to inform the selection of patient-centred process and outcome measures in geriatric trauma. From June 2018 to September 2019, we conducted telephone interviews with adults aged 65 years or older who had been discharged after traumatic injury within 6 months from Sunnybrook or London Health Sciences Centres in Ontario, Canada. Using interpretive description and thematic analysis, we drew on social science theories of illness and aging for data interpretation. We analyzed data to the point of theoretical saturation. We interviewed 25 trauma survivors aged 65-88 years. Most were injured in a fall. Four themes characterized participants' experiences, as follows: "I don't feel like a senior" (i.e., participants disliked being viewed as a senior or as needing senior-specific care); "don't bother telling him anything" (i.e., participants perceived ageist assumptions and treatment in acute care processes); getting back to normal (i.e., participants emphasized their active lifestyles and functional recovery as goals of care); "I have lost control of my life" (i.e., substantial social and personal losses linked to participants' experiences and adaptations to aging generally). Findings suggest that older adults experience social and personal loss after injury, and underscore how implicit age bias may influence care experiences and outcomes. This can inform improvements in injury care and guide providers in the selection of patient-centred outcome measures.

Experimental study of the dielectric properties of energy-containing materials at variable temperatures.

Due to the inherent material characteristics of fireworks and negligent safety management, safety accidents have occurred in recent years, resulting in significant personal and property losses. Therefore, the status inspection of fireworks and other energy-containing materials is a hot issue in the field of energy-containing materials production, storage, transportation, and application. The dielectric constant is a parameter used to characterize the interaction between materials and electromagnetic waves. The methods of obtaining this parameter in the microwave band are not only numerous but also fast and easy. Thus, the real-time status of energy-containing materials can be monitored by monitoring their dielectric properties. Usually, temperature variation has an important effect on the state of energy-containing materials, and the accumulation of temperature can directly cause energy-containing materials to burn or even explode. Based on the above background, this paper proposes a method for testing the dielectric properties of energy-containing materials under variable temperature conditions based on the resonant cavity perturbation theory, which provides important theoretical support for testing the state of energy-containing materials under variable temperatures. Based on the constructed test system, the law of the variation of the dielectric constant of black powder with temperature was obtained, and the theoretical analysis of the test results was carried out. Experimental results show that the temperature change will induce chemical changes in the black powder material, specifically in its dielectric properties, and the magnitude of the changes is large, which is very conducive to real-time monitoring of the black powder state. The system and method developed in this paper can be used to obtain the high-temperature evolution of the dielectric properties of other types of energy-containing materials and provide technical support for the safe production, storage, and application of various types of energy-containing materials.

Healing the spirit:

Liberation is the act of setting free from internal and social oppression (Afuape, 2011), in 2019 it was the Liberation Trail fire that raged through our place, turning the living essence of our livelihood, and belongings to dust. The dust had barely settled when the torrential rains drenched the remains, weeping over the ashes. These ashes were not just of things, houses, and furniture, but also of trees, ferns, and animals of all sizes. Next, it was isolation and fear that arose from the ashes in the form of Coronavirus (COVID-19 virus). Isolating people from the natural environment and from each other. Through these transmutations, we relied upon the resilient nature of the human spirit to survive. This autoethnographic story explores human resilience in the face of personal and global loss. The power of storytelling is an ancient tradition, stemming from a human need to make meaning of the lived experience. Each person who tells a story speaks from their ‘biographical position’ and is unique as the storyteller (Denzin, 2014). Stories, or narratives, assisted in the survival of cultures by retelling warnings of potential threats. They are intrinsic to all cultures, whether they are written or verbal. The act of storytelling can impart a metaphysical presence that can provide a sense of spirituality in the communication process (Snyder &amp; Lindquist, 2006; Uys, 2014). Storytelling has been described as an expression of human consciousness and as such, can guide the person towards healing the spirit, and liberating from trauma (Carter,2019).

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

More troubling, however, is the likelihood that their entire family is the target of some nefarious plan, and in a New Orleans scarred by battling magical families, struggles between magic users and nonmagical people, and continued racial oppression of Black families, such as Clement and Cristina’s, the suspect list of who might be responsible is long. The estranged siblings must come together to track down clues and figure out if their recent tragedies have anything to do with a decades-old event that led to the lynching of their grandparents and the displacement of the Trudeaus from New Orleans’ magical Generational Council. Soapy melodrama and overwrought exposition unfortunately eclipse what is an otherwise fascinating world ruled by complicated magic and even more complicated people. Narration shifts between Clem and Cris, both grieving a personal loss as they navigate the traumatic secrets of both their family and community history cloaked in secrets; while both siblings are sympathetic, they tend to get mired in self-pity, stalling the narrative and muddying their voices. More successful are the third-person chapters focused on the power struggle among the magical and nonmagical groups in the city and how the past informs the current toxic dynamics. A final showdown between an army of undead and the queenly villain brings some much-needed action, and readers can hope that the cliffhanger ending will lead to a sequel that more fully explores the world and its forces for good and ill.

Narrating Tales of Displacement: Fragmented Memory and Partition Stories

For the children of families that have experienced partition, relating to roots and a place of belonging is never without complications. They tend to relocate themselves multiple times in physical places as well as mental spaces. Unfortunately, the final settling never takes place for them, neither in the new place, where the family relocates to, nor in the mind that is a storehouse of experiences of migration. They remain ‘in-between’ and continue negotiating between the past and the present through fragmented as well as tormented memories. This paper attempts to study the complexity of belongingness for those who have lived the experiences of the Partition and how this complexity continues across generations. This will be done through a methodology of writing personal narrative and reviewing testimonies of those who experienced the Partition, along with the members of their families. The primary sources for this paper are personal testimonies of the family members, community magazine Pothohar, the short story ‘Bhenji Parmeshri’ based on the oral tales narrated by the researcher’s grandmother, films Sardar Mohammad (2017) and Eh Janam Tumahare Lekhe (2015) and a testimony of Mohinder Kaur in the newspaper. The paper will evaluate the experience of those who suffered owing to Partition by connecting the contact points, like experience of migration, displacement of families, killing of daughters by their fathers etc. as depicted in the texts and testimonies taken for the study. Personally, the researcher’s grandfather, Harbans Singh lived for 102 years witnessing and participating in events around the Freedom Movement, the Partition of India, the 1971 war with Pakistan, the Emergency, the 1984 anti-Sikh massacres, and finally the recent pandemic (COVI-19). At all major incidences he suffered personal losses. While throughout his life, he kept narrating his experiences of the Partition and the eventual victims’ migration to India, but towards the end of his life, he refused to talk about it anymore. He became very selective in his choice of subject for a conversation. Nevertheless, his village and place of birth, never skipped him. Even in his dementia, any reference to his birthplace would attract his attention. The paper is an attempt to study how physical places become permanent fixatures and sites of memory that surface at a slightest trigger. These incidences are the deepest traumatic sites that never recover.

The economic impact of asymmetric warfare through illicit drug trafficking in Indonesia

Purpose — This research aims to analyze the economic impact of asymmetric warfare through illicit drug trafficking in Indonesia.Method — This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques using interviews and literature studies. Researchers conduct interviews with officials related to the National Narcotics Board with 10 people and officials from the Defense Potential Directorate of the Indonesian Ministry of Defense with 2 people.Result — Illicit drug trafficking in Indonesia has an impact on the national resilience of the Indonesian nation. The impact covers all aspects of astagatra, which consists of trigatra aspects, namely demographic, geographical, and natural resources aspects, and pancagatra aspects, which consist of ideological, political, economic, socio-cultural, and defense-security aspects. In economics, research has shown that the economic loss due to drugs amounts to 84.7 trillion rupiahs due to illicit drug trafficking, where 77.42 trillion rupiahs is a personal loss and 7.27 trillion rupiahs is a social cost. Moreover, drug addicts will find it difficult to get a job, given that the impact of rejection from the community and the work environment reaches 92%. Cooperation between agencies and community participation is necessary to address it. This is because Indonesia's defense system is total people's defense and security system (Sishankamrata), which requires the participation of all components of the nation.Contribution — This research add to the knowledge about the impact of asymmetric warfare through illicit drug trafficking, specifically the economic impact. In addition, this research is expected to be a source of input for the government in developing strategic steps to counter illicit drug trafficking which is asymmetric warfare.

How do disasters affect intergroup perceptions? Evidence from the 2018 Sulawesi Earthquake

This study investigates whether and how natural disasters affect intergroup perceptions, particularly focusing on subjective expectations for emergency support from other groups in the future. We conduct a household survey in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, which has experienced religious conflicts and was heavily hit by the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake. Our estimation results from the survey data indicate that individuals who suffered from the earthquake exhibited higher expectations of receiving emergency support from other religious groups in future disasters. We further show that the direct and indirect experience of receiving actual support from other religious groups after the earthquake contributed to better intergroup perceptions. However, the effect of the earthquake on intergroup perceptions of future support is heterogeneous depending on the characteristics of households. Notably, people who experienced severe damage from the earthquake, such as loss of any close person or damage by liquefaction, or who used to live in a major conflict area tended to have poorer perceptions toward other religious groups than otherwise.

Development and validation of the resource loss due to reduction in gaming time scale among adolescent internet gamers in China

BackgroundAdolescent internet gaming disorder (IGD) is prevalent and positively associated with gaming time, a reduction of which is a common means of IGD prevention/treatment. Personal/interpersonal resource losses due to the reduction in gaming time (RL-RGT) are plausible. According to the Conservation of Resource (COR) theory, RL-RGT may cause mental distress and maladaptive behaviors. No study has investigated such relationships, partially due to the lack of validated tools assessing RL-RGT. This study aimed to develop and validate such a scale (RL-RGTS). MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in four secondary schools in Guangzhou, China (October to December 2019). Secondary school students who had played internet games in the last 12 months participated in this study (n = 944), irrespective of their IGD status and intention to reduce gaming time. Using a deductive approach, an expert panel generated the 19 scale items. The half-split method was used to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. ResultsThe prevalence of IGD and intention to reduce gaming time were 10.9% and 74.2%, respectively. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified a 2-factor model (personal loss and interpersonal loss). Psychometric properties (internal consistency, no ceiling effect, and concurrent validity) were satisfactory, but noticeable floor effects were observed. ConclusionsThe RL-RGTS could be applied to understand potential side effects and obstacles regarding interventions reducing IGD through reducing gaming time. The findings support the COR theory and extend its applications to internet gaming research. Validations in other populations are warranted.

Determination of the probability of hearing loss in persons exposed to the noise of small arms

Aim to analyze the indicators of distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in persons exposed to the noise of small arms and, on the basis of the most significant of them, to determine the probability of developing hearing loss.&#x0D; Material and methods. We examined 30 male volunteer shooters (60 ears) aged from 19 to 30 years. The shooters fired 30 shots from the AK74M in short bursts (2-3 shots in a burst) at targets when performing shooting exercises from three positions: from the knee, standing and lying down, in a free acoustic field without the use of personal protective equipment of the hearing organ. All participants were examined for distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) before and after firing from small arms. The method of binary logistic regression was used to develop a predictive model.&#x0D; Results. A mathematical model has been developed to assess the probability of developing hearing loss according to the indicators of DPOAE before exposure to the noise of small arms. This model, with a standard classification threshold of p = 0.5, has an accuracy of 83.3%, sensitivity of 79.0%, specificity of 88.0%. According to the results of the ROC analysis for the resulting model, the area under the characteristic curve was equal to 0.924 (0.834;1.0), which indicates the excellent quality of the mathematical model.&#x0D; Conclusion. The most significant were the signal/noise indicator (dB) at a frequency of 4.2 kHz on the left and the level of otoacoustic emission (dB) at a frequency of 4.2 kHz on the left before noise exposure. These indicators, as well as the age of the shooter, allow us to assess the probability of developing hearing loss.

Developing new hybrid grey wolf optimization-based artificial neural network for predicting road crash severity

With more cars on the road and an increasing travel rate, one of the main issues in transportation engineering is how to make roads safe. The evaluation of the level of road crash severity is a significant component of the road safety assessment in terms of financial and personal losses. One of the most advanced ways to control and manage traffic information in modern traffic management systems is through intelligent transportation systems (ITS). ITS plays a big part in improving road safety. On the other hand, machine learning techniques play an important role in increasing the level of ITS performance. Hence, this study aims to predict the level of crash severity through a classification approach. In this study, two machine learning techniques namely artificial neural network (ANN) and Grey Wolf optimization algorithm (GWO)–ANN were developed to predict the level of road crash severity, and several performance metrics were used to assess the predictive algorithms' predictive capability. For this purpose, some factors that affect the level of severity were considered, including light condition (LC), weekday (W), horizontal alignment (HA), road element (RE), type of crash (TC), vehicle type (VT), driver gender (DG), average speed (AS) and annual average daily traffic (AADT). 202 case studies were recorded from urban roads in Calabria in southern Italy. When comparing the proposed GWO–ANN model to the ANN model, the findings clearly demonstrated the superiority of the proposed GWO–ANN model.

Grieving artists: Influences of loss and bereavement on visual art making

This qualitative survey explored how eight professional artists navigated personal loss experiences that were due to the death of a loved one. By considering how bereaved artists experience their own art making through contemporary practices, the results of this research may serve to understand how fine art processes and grief might be interrelated. The guiding questions were explored through semi-structured interviews and reflections of the participants on their selected artwork. All artists self-identified regarding age and gender, and ranged in subject matter, media choices, and artistic practices. Each had experienced the loss of at least one significant relationship during their professional career. Kvale’s (1996) method of research interviewing and narrative structuring was applied and led to the emergence of six themes including 1) experiencing grief; 2) faith and beauty; 3) merging; 4) storying; 5) exhibiting work; and 6) curative aspects of art as well as 13 sub-themes. Art-work reflecting the imagery created during each participant’s bereavement experiences are also included. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the grief experience, when used as a catalyst for art making, may bring about clarity and meaning of an individual’s personal loss experience while simultaneously communicating collective human truths.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAX ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM OF BUSINESS ENTITIES OF UKRAINE

The paper presents systemic and process approaches to the description of the tax administration system of business entities in Ukraine. From the point of view of the systemic approach, tax administration is a system that, in its elementary form, consists of a subject of management, an object of management and the connections between them, through which management influence on tax legal relations is exercised by persons whose main job duties are making decisions and communicating them to subordinates. Based on known models of system-oriented management of organizations and their individual elements, the following components can be distinguished in the system designed to ensure compliance with tax legislation: system input represented by financial, material, immaterial and labor resources; controlling and managed subsystems, as well as the output of the system in the form of economic and social results of activity, added tax amounts, official and unofficial information, training and development of employees, ensuring the safety of social interaction, etc.&#x0D; From the point of view of the process approach of tax administration, administrative activities carried out by tax and other controlling bodies are regulated by laws and other regulatory legal acts.&#x0D; The beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the russian troops became the starting point for the emergence of a number of problems in the system and processes of tax administration in our country, which are related to the loss of legal personality by taxpayers, their complete or temporary loss of taxation objects, registration changes, technical impossibility of registration of business operations and communication with controlling bodies, etc. It was determined that the solution to most of the mentioned problems lies in the area of taxation, that is, the adoption of laws forming the tax system. We believe that the tax burden on business in Ukraine should be reduced and the tax administration process simplified for the next five years after the end of war on the territory of Ukraine in order to restore national business as soon as possible and attract foreign investors.
