Use Of Objects Research Articles

The use of artificial intelligence in education in the light of security Culture according to the opinions of Hungarian and Turkish youth

Today, the importance of information security in education is increasingly emphasised. For members of generations X, Y and Alpha, ICT tools have become everyday objects of use, making it essential that teaching methods adapt and innovate accordingly. In particular, it is important that students learn to use data and devices safely, and the necessary guidelines should be integrated into the educational process. The six principles of security set out by the OECD apply to both students and teachers and provide guidance for users. Safety awareness is central to the development of a safety culture. In addition to knowledge and competences, safety culture also includes awareness and intentionality, which are essential for future success. There are many dimensions and aspects of awareness, but perhaps the most important in the context of education is the development of the digital dimension. However, it is also important to teach young people about the safe use of artificial intelligence and the limits of its applicability. The aim of our study is to examine how young people use the opportunities offered by digitalisation in educational institutions, with a particular focus on the use of AI and the perceptions and visions of its use. We will interpret this through an intercultural lens, comparing the intercultural characteristics and attitudinal differences of Hungarian and Turkish youth based on a questionnaire survey conducted in both countries.

Patient-reported outcomes in neuro-oncology.

To provide up-to-date evidence on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in neuro-oncology, with a focus on the core constructs of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the use of PROs in clinical trials and clinical practice.[Supplemental Digital Content: Video Abstract PROs in Neuro-Oncology.mov]. PROs are gaining importance in brain tumor research and medical care. For patients with a brain tumor, core PRO constructs are pain, difficulty communicating, perceived cognition, seizures, symptomatic adverse events, physical functioning and role and social functioning, which are assessed through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Initiatives have been taken to improve the reliability and robustness of PRO data, including standardization of items included in clinical trial protocols (the SPIRIT-PRO extension) and formulation of PRO priority objectives for use in clinical trials (the SISAQOL-Innovative Medicines Initiative). In brain tumor patients with cognitive impairment, caregiver-reported outcomes may complement or replace PROs to increase accuracy. The next key challenge will be to widely implement PROs and apply PRO data in clinical practice to benefit patients with brain tumors. PROs are clinically relevant endpoints providing information only known by the patient. Standardization of the use of PROs in clinical trials and wide implementation in clinical practice is needed to improve HRQoL of brain tumor patients.

What is disability history the history of?

This article has two connected aims. First, to contour the boundaries of modern disability history through outlining its development and second, to provide a new methodological agenda for disability history. The design model of disability has outlined an important new programme to integrate the social and medical models of disability by foregrounding materials. Yet 'disability things' (to use Ott's memorable term) have been part of disability history's genesis since the material turn, which started the process of social historians recovering the lives of those not recorded in textual sources through objects, including prosthetics. From considering objects as things, the influence of Science and Technology Studies scholars pushed disability historians to further consider objects as agents and objects in use. These approaches have highlighted the differential levels of autonomy and power that objects and their users have in making history. However, this focus on materials has highlighted visible and recorded disability over 'invisible' disability, which has perpetuated its opacity and created definitional difficulties around disability demarcation. Medical history methodologies aimed at revealing the 'patient view' can help bring people back into focus but uphold the categories of patients and biomedicine in a way that impedes the aims of disability scholars. Focusing on exactly what is hidden is less useful than focusing on how it is hidden, and science and technology study methodologies can illuminate these processes.

The cognitive engagement of students in pairs when using learning objects

This article discuss the potential use of Learning Objects for use with students organized in pairs in the school activities context.We will present data collected throughout a PhD research that sought to verify whether grouping into pairs during activities in the computer laboratory enables students' cognitive engagement. The investigation included the participation of 1st year and three 2nd year classes of elementary school in a Brazilian public school. The methodological approach used was Action Research and data collection took place during a complete academic year. In general, the results presented in this work allow us to affirm that the use of Learning Objects enables students' cognitive engagement during activities and that there is no significant difference in engagement between students who were organized in pairs and those who were working alone.

The Double-Headed Eagle, Richard of Cornwall, and Grain from Almaine: Reconfigurations of Rulership during the Famine of 1256–58 in the Wake of the Samalas Eruption

The environmental crisis following the eruption of the Samalas volcano in the mid-1250s led to a massive dearth of grain and severe famine crisis across Europe from 1256 onwards. English chroniclers and other contemporaries commented extensively on these effects at the time, and Richard of Cornwall responded to the famine in 1258 by organizing grain shipments. Although there are few instances of monarchs intervening at this scale on behalf of broad sections of the population in the thirteenth century, scholars have largely ignored Richard’s attempts to alleviate the famine. The article suggests that it was his close contacts with merchants from Lübeck that enabled him to access such ressources, while the grain imports were a key element in the emerging trade with Baltic producers for English grain provisioning. The ruler’s approach can probably best be explained by his kinship ties to Henry III, his English estates and his own experiences in the Mediterranean region. In this context we also find the first representation of the double-headed eagle coat of arms on profane objects in use for bulk goods like grain, adding a heraldic layer to an extraordinary monarchical relief measure.

The FlexiBoard: Tangible and Tactile Graphics for People with Vision Impairments

Over the last decade, several projects have demonstrated how interactive tactile graphics and tangible interfaces can improve and enrich access to information for people with vision impairments. While the former can be used to display a relatively large amount of information, they cannot be physically updated, which constrains the type of tasks that they can support. On the other hand, tangible interfaces are particularly suited for the (re)construction and manipulation of graphics, but the use of physical objects also restricts the type and amount of information that they can convey. We propose to bridge the gap between these two approaches by investigating the potential of tactile and tangible graphics for people with vision impairments. Working closely with special education teachers, we designed and developed the FlexiBoard, an affordable and portable system that enhances traditional tactile graphics with tangible interaction. In this paper, we report on the successive design steps that enabled us to identify and consider technical and design requirements. We thereafter explore two domains of application for the FlexiBoard: education and board games. Firstly, we report on one brainstorming session that we organized with four teachers in order to explore the application space of tangible and tactile graphics for educational activities. Secondly, we describe how the FlexiBoard enabled the successful adaptation of one visual board game into a multimodal accessible game that supports collaboration between sighted, low-vision and blind players.

Strain-specific features of Pleurotus ostreatus growth in vitro and some of its biological activities

BackgroundThe production of Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium as a promising object for use in food and other industries is hampered by a lack of information about the strain-specificity of this fungus mycelium growth and its acquisition of various biological activities. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate mycelial growth of different P. ostreatus strains on varies solid and liquid media as well as to evaluate strains antagonistic, antibacterial, antiradical scavenging activities, and total phenolic content.ResultsPotato Dextrose Agar medium was suitable for all strains except P. ostreatus strain 2460. The best growth rate of P. ostreatus 2462 strain on solid culture media was 15.0 ± 0.8 mm/day, and mycelia best growth on liquid culture media—36.5 ± 0.2 g/l. P. ostreatus strains 551 and 1685 were more susceptible to positive effect of plant growth regulators Ivin, Methyur and Kamethur. Using of nutrient media based on combination of natural waste (amaranth flour cake and wheat germ, wheat bran, broken vermicelli and crumbs) has been increased the yield of P. ostreatus strains mycelium by 2.2–2.9 times compared to the control. All used P. ostreatus strains displayed strong antagonistic activity in co-cultivation with Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Issatchenkia orientalis, Fusarium poae, Microdochium nivale in dual-culture assay. P. ostreatus 2462 EtOAc mycelial extract good inhibited growth of Escherichia coli (17.0 ± 0.9 mm) while P. ostreatus 2460 suppressed Staphylococcus aureus growth (21.5 ± 0.5 mm) by agar well diffusion method. The highest radical scavenging effect displayed both mycelial extracts (EtOH and EtOAc) of P. ostreatus 1685 (61 and 56%) by DPPH assay as well as high phenolic content (7.17 and 6.73 mg GAE/g) by the Folin-Ciocalteu’s method. The maximal total phenol content (7.52 mg GAE/g) demonstrated of P. ostreatus 2461 EtOH extract.ConclusionsIt is found that the growth, antibacterial, antiradical scavenging activity as well as total phenolic content were dependent on studied P. ostreatus strains in contrast to antagonistic activity. The proposed culture mediums of natural waste could be an alternative to commercial mediums for the production mycelial biomass of P. ostreatus strains.

Magnesium calcites for CO2 capture and thermochemical energy storage using the calcium-looping process

In this study, a precipitation-based synthesis method has been employed to prepare magnesium calcites with the general formula Ca1-xMgxCO3, with the objective of use them in the calcium looping (CaL) process for CO2 capture (CaL-CCS) and thermochemical energy storage (CaL-CSP). The structure and microstructure of the samples have been characterized. It has been found by X-ray diffraction that the samples with a Ca:Mg molar ratio of 0.5:0.5 and 0.55:0.45 are phase pure, while the samples with molar ratios of 0.7:0.3 and 0.8:0.2 are composed by two phases with different stoichiometry. In addition, the sample prepared with calcium alone shows the aragonite phase. The microstructure of the magnesium-containing samples is composed of nanocrystals, which are aggregated in spherical particles whereas the aragonite sample presents a typical rod-like morphology.The multicycle tests carried out under CaL-CCS conditions show that an increase on the MgO content in the calcined samples results in a reduced value of effective conversion when compared to aragonite. On the other hand, under CaL-CSP conditions, the samples with the higher MgO content exhibit nearly stable effective conversion values around 0.5 after 20 cycles, which improve the results obtained for aragonite and those reported for natural dolomite tested under the same conditions.

Condensed state physics in biology: Liquid crystal - semiconductor system

The possibility of application of condensed state physics methods for the study of biological objects is considered. The object of use is a cell with a liquid crystal as a model of a biological system - a living cell. The system of liquid crystal - semiconductor was experimentally investigated by methods of modulation spectroscopy. By determining the value of electric reflection, it is possible to judge about the state of surface polarization of liquid crystal. Exposure to an electric field changes the energy of the semiconductor’s zone structure, which leads to changes in the optical properties of both crystals. To investigate the optical modulation changes in our case, we used the method with the use of electrolyte KOH, which allowed us to measure the modulation of the spatial charge. The study of thin layers (up to 120 μm) of various nematic liquid crystals has shown that at values of electric fields comparable to the Fredericks transition threshold, the orientation angle of liquid crystal molecules changes due to the interaction of surface polarization with the external field, and an odd electro-optic effect is observed. If the value of the electric field is much larger than the threshold of the Fredericks transition, the electric moment, which depends nonlinearly on the field, predominates and leads to an even electro-optic effect. The results of the study are proposed to be used for the development of new drugs and materials with specified parameters for medicine.

Displaying and Experiencing Dress Identities in Museums: Case Studies from the Etruscan Period to Modern Times

Dress, clothes, and accessories receive and give meaning through their nearness to the human body. As P. Stallybrass writes: “Bodies come and go: the clothes that have received those bodies survive.” It is through the close interaction between dress and person that they both receive their meaning. Clothes shape the human body, and we in return shape our clothes. Dress communicates class, gender, nationality, and marital status, and we leave behind parts of us in its smell, wrinkles, wear, and tear: “Clothes receive the human imprint.” Archaeological and historical dress — no matter how ancient — remain intrinsically linked to their wearers. These are objects of use, affection, value, and memory, and through the study of the dress of past people, we may wear their habits and inhabit their spaces however briefly. The visual appearance of people, in more recent times as well as throughout history, is a clear marker of identity and an important communication medium. For this reason, costume and jewelry serve as an “anchor point” to involve people of the 21st century in studies of the life of prehistoric and ancient societies. This is worth considering, as archaeological textile research needs a strong commitment to public outreach and education, as well as to be integrated into the challenges of our time and to participate in current debates. Through the lens of deep history, it can inspire people to think about such questions as identity, resource use, and shared heritage, among others. Dissemination of textiles and clothing for the broader public in museums is realized through various channels. These range from the exhibition of individual objects, such as textiles, garments, jewelry, and dress accessories, to virtual recreations, and encompasses workshops, citizen science projects for the recreation of historical garments, media-effective historical fashion shows, and reinterpretations of aspects of historical garments through contemporary fashion. This remains an ongoing process, since the interpretation of the past will never be complete, and every generation formulates new approaches. The EuroWeb COST Action (2020–2024) serves as an innovative hub to gain understanding of historical as well as recent dress identities. For this contribution, different aspects of the history of fashion from various museums have been selected as case studies, to demonstrate the wide span of possibilities for displaying and experiencing Dress Identities. Our journey starts with Etruscan jewelry as displayed at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen in Munich (Germany), leading to Early Medieval dress, recreated from various sources as a physical dress ensemble as well as a virtual one, and used for science communication at the Natural History Museum Vienna (Austria) and Halle an der Saale (Germany). As both of the first examples derive from archaeological contexts, we do not have complete garments. This was why we also wanted to explore the possibilities for dissemination of “folk historic costumes”, like a traditional mourning dress as displayed at the Museum Amager (Denmark).

Raman spectroscopy with near IR excitation for study of structural components of cyanobacterial phycobilisomes

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes that carry out oxygenic photosynthesis and are widely used as a model in scientific research. Being a rich source of biologically active compounds, they are also currently considered as a promising object for use in biotechnologies. For solving research or applied problems of cyanobacteria study, detection, identifying and monitoring of biotechnological production different kinds of laser spectroscopy can be a promising tools. In the present work Raman spectroscopy with IR excitation (IR Raman) is used to analyze phycobiliproteins, structural components of phycobilisomes – light-harvesting antenna – of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. Excitation wavelengths in red/near infrared range were chosen to focus on the vibrational spectra and avoid an influence of pigments fluorescence.− The Raman spectra with excitation in near infrared and UV–visible absorption spectra were measured from wild type (WT) of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, the mutant lacking C-phycocyanin (CK), and the mutant totally devoid of phycobilisomes (PAL). Spectral information is analyzed in comparison with data on structural and functional state of photosynthetic system of the cyanobacteria. It has been shown that IR Raman spectroscopy makes it possible to analyze in detail the structural disorders in phycobilisomes and to discuss the carotenoids-based mechanisms of compensation for this deficiency.

Virtual snow stakes: a new method for snow depth measurement at remote camera stations

AbstractRemote cameras are used to study demographics, ecological processes, and behavior of wildlife populations. Cameras have also been used to measure snow depth with physical snow stakes. However, concerns that physical instruments at camera sites may influence animal behavior limit installation of instruments to facilitate collecting such data. Given that snow depth data are inherently contained within images, potential insights that could be made using these data are lost. To facilitate camera‐based snow depth observations without additional equipment installation, we developed a method implemented in an R package called edger to superimpose virtual measurement devices onto images. The virtual snow stakes can be used to derive snow depth measurements. We validated the method for snow depth estimation using camera data from Latah County, Idaho, USA in winter 2020–2021. Mean bias error between the virtual snow stake and a physical snow stake was 5.8 cm; the mean absolute bias error was 8.8 cm. The mean Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency score comparing the fit of the 2 sets of measurements within each camera was 0.748, indicating good agreement. The edger package provides researchers with a means to take critical measurements for ecological studies without the use of physical objects that could alter animal behavior, and snow data at finer scales can complement other snow data sources that have coarser spatial and temporal resolution.

An AI-based universal phantom analysis method based on XML-SVG wireframes with novel functional object identifiers

Objective. Quality assurance (QA) testing must be performed at regular intervals to ensure that medical devices are operating within designed specifications. Numerous QA phantoms and software packages have been developed to facilitate measurements of machine performance. However, due to the hard-coded nature of geometric phantom definition in analysis software, users are typically limited to the use of a small subset of compatible QA phantoms. In this work, we present a novel AI-based universal Phantom (UniPhan) algorithm that is not phantom specific and can be easily adapted to any pre-existing image-based QA phantom. Approach. Extensible Markup Language Scalable Vector Graphics (XML-SVG) was modified to include several new tags describing the function of embedded phantom objects for use in QA analysis. Functional tags include contrast and density plugs, spatial linearity markers, resolution bars and edges, uniformity regions, and light-radiation field coincidence areas. Machine learning was used to develop an image classification model for automatic phantom type detection. After AI phantom identification, UniPhan imported the corresponding XML-SVG wireframe, registered it to the image taken during the QA process, performed analysis on the functional tags, and exported results for comparison to expected device specifications. Analysis results were compared to those generated by manual image analysis. Main results. XML-SVG wireframes were generated for several commercial phantoms including ones specific to CT, CBCT, kV planar imaging, and MV imaging. Several functional objects were developed and assigned to the graphical elements of the phantoms. The AI classification model was tested for training and validation accuracy and loss, along with phantom type prediction accuracy and speed. The results reported training and validation accuracies of 99%, phantom type prediction confidence scores of around 100%, and prediction speeds of around 0.1 s. Compared to manual image analysis, Uniphan results were consistent across all metrics including contrast-to-noise ratio, modulation-transfer function, HU accuracy, and uniformity. Significance. The UniPhan method can identify phantom type and use its corresponding wireframe to perform QA analysis. As these wireframes can be generated in a variety of ways this represents an accessible automated method of analyzing image-based QA phantoms that is flexible in scope and implementation.

From Witnessing to Redress: Objects, Remnants, and Wreckage after the Sewol

Abstracts: On April 16, 2014, the Sewol Ferry capsized off the southwestern coast of South Korea, killing 304 people, including 250 high school students. The incident traumatized Koreans, who helplessly watched the capsized ferry sink on live news. The Korean government's (mis)handling of the disaster and its aftermaths made the sinking of the Sewol Ferry the most galvanizing event in contemporary South Korean history. In the wake of the Sewol, activists and artists created memorials in honor of the victims—or rather their absence—as well as their loved ones who remember them. Using critical scholarship from memory studies and performance studies with ethnographic methodologies, this essay explores three of these works, combining tools of close reading and participant observation. In analyzing the three works, I focus on their strategic use of physical objects belonging to victims or their loved ones—namely, childhood artifacts, a blanket, and a bus. Through these objects, activists and artists go beyond an invitation to witness the Sewol and its tragic aftermaths; rather, they index the sustained nature of loss as well as critique the persistence of government malfeasance and unaccountability. Ultimately, I theorize the three case studies as activist performances that animate the material remains of disaster in the service of materializing truth and redress.

Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric characteristics of essential oils of plants of the genus Pycnanthemum (Lamiaceae) and peculiarities of their application in practice

Background. Not all plants are capable of producing essential oil (EO). There are 3.000 different plant EOs described in the world, but only 10 % of them are widely used by humans. In particular, perfumery and the food industry use the largest amount of natural EOs – 30 % and 40 % of the world production, respectively. A thorough study of EOs, knowledge of their components in both chemical and pharmacological sense will facilitate the improvement of the quality of human life. The purpose of our experimental study was to determine the EO potential of four species of the genus Pycnanthemum Michx. (Lamiaceae): P. montanum Michx., P. muticum (Michx.) Pers., P. tenuifolium Schrad., P. verticillatum var. pilosum (Nutt.) Cooperr. introduced in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine. The above plants are representatives of the flora of North America. Methods. The EOs were obtained in laboratory conditions by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. The raw material of the plants – a blended mass of leaves, inflorescences and the herbaceous part of the stem was used in an air-dry state. Harvesting of raw materials was carried out during the flowering phase of plants. The EOs content is given in terms of an absolute dry weight. The identification of compounds and their amount in each EO was determined by the method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results. In the conditions of the forest-steppe of Ukraine, the introduced species of plants of the genus Pycnanthemum show a high level of EOs biosynthesis – 0.53–3.34 %. The dominant compounds common to the obtained essential oils are Pulegone, Isomenthone, and Isopinocamphone. The indicators of the content of pulegone exceed those of other compounds and reach 48.14–73.93 %. Pulegone is a controversial organic compound, since it exhibits a high biological activity and possesses pharmacological properties suitable for use in medical practice, but when cleaved, it forms toxic metabolites, in particular mentofuran. Conclusions. The obtained results indicate that plants of the genus Pycnanthemum, which are little known in Ukraine, have a high EO potential under the proposed growth conditions. Due to this, they are potential objects for use in domestic cultural phytocenoses. Considering the component composition of EOs with the dominant Pulegone, their consumption requires correct dosage.

The Saint Euplus Miracle in China: The Local Version of a Motif Complex

Abstract A Eurasian motif complex built around the illusion of a flood was described by Artёm Koz’min in 2011 under the preliminary name of the Saint Euplus Miracle. Subsequently, this discovery proved to be productive in the understanding of the development of some Chinese plots including the image of a magic paintbrush. This article deals with a combination of the magic paintbrush image and the borrowed motif complex centred around water that apears miraculously, or the illusion of it, in Chinese tradition. The image of a magic brush has been widespread in the literature and folklore of China for centuries, although this combination, which underlies the famous tale Ma Liang and his Magic Brush, remains unnoticed. The aim of the article is to describe the Chinese version of the Saint Euplus Miracle and to point out its characteristic features. In all the Chinese examples analysed, the role of the magic helper was prominent, while in the non-Chinese cases the helper was generally absent. Another feature specific to the Chinese cases was the helper giving the hero a magic object for use in drawing.

Will my boomerang come back? New insights into Aboriginal material culture of early Sydney and affiliated coastal zone from British collections

Aboriginal material culture of the Sydney region has been analysed extensively by Australian archaeologists, notably Vincent Megaw and Val Attenbrow, yet many new insights can be obtained through the examination of hitherto unidentified and unexamined museum objects and dispersed archival documentation in Britain and Ireland. Close engagement with these sources permits a more informed explication of the variety of objects in use in colonial Sydney and its greater affiliated coastal zone. Focussing on the period 1788–1870, this article examines three related object types, termed variously in English ‘swords’, ‘boomerangs’ and ‘clubs’, to investigate their nature, current and former distribution, and histories of collection. Discussions with members of the La Perouse Aboriginal Community in Sydney indicate a great interest in collaborative research to improve understanding of such objects, because few of these collected and removed objects have been documented to a precise place of origin. Stylistic comparison of actual objects with historic images of similar types therefore remains a basic first step. This fundamental work is necessary to engage the appropriate community research partners but raises questions as to methodologies for community engagement with unprovenanced objects, or those known only to be from a large regional area, which may encompass many groups. Ascertaining places of origin is thus critical to ensuring the accuracy and validity of any repatriation or restitution efforts, and in making sure that the ‘right’ objects return to relevant Aboriginal communities.

Methods for Long-Term Storage of Pure Cultures of Macrofungi

Basidiomycetous macrofungi have significant biotechnological potential and are promising objects for use in va-rious industrial sectors, such as food production, pharmaceuticals, the production of active compounds and polysaccharides. The industrial use of macrofungi implies the presence of large collections of cultures using sto-rage protocols that ensure the preservation of viability, reproduction, genetic stability and the ability to produce active compounds. With the expansion of the list of industrially used species, it is advisable to develop new protocols for the storage of strains and optimize the existing ones for new, promising types of macrofungi. It seems necessary to study in detail the effect of long periods of storage on morphological and cultural characteristics, genetic stability, enzymatic activity, and the ability to form sexual structures.

“Beauty of the Person” According to Karol Wojtyła (Ontology and Experience)

This paper outlines the essential core of Karol Wojtyła’s thought on beauty. By introducing the central category of “beauty of the person”, Wojtyła essentially integrated and ordered therewith all the other meanings of the term. Whatever is beautiful in an adequate sense is also morally good. As far as human beauty is concerned, Wojtyła pointed out that it is differentiated by gender, i.e. female beauty and male beauty, and by “layers,” i.e. external beauty (aesthetic, sensual and bodily beauty) and, more importantly, internal beauty, which constitutes the beauty of a person as a person. Outer beauty allows a person to be noticed, to be discovered, but in love one cannot stop at outer beauty (the temptation to treat the body as a possible object of use). For love is love of the whole person, not only of his or her beautiful body and sexual attractiveness. A specific issue is the analysis of the creation of beautiful things, which at the same time are imprinted in the interior of man and – as long as man does not give in to the egoistic “temptation of self-emptying” – bear witness to his “immortality.”

Busines legal regulation of the contractual use of intellectual property objects

The article examines the peculiarities of legal regulation of contractual relations on the use of intellectual property objects in the field of business. It has been proven that the importance of the civil law regulation of these relations in the norms of the Economic Code of Ukraine is slightly underestimated. The legal regulation of relations on the contractual use of intellectual property objects by economic norms and norms of civil legislation complex. The issue of concluding a contract is ensured by the norms of economic legislation, and the legal status of the creator (or other person who owns property rights to intellectual property) and the legal regime of the object of intellectual property is regulated by the norms of civil legislation.
 Differences in the provisions of economic legislation and the norms of special laws regarding the form of contracts on the transfer of rights to use an intellectual property object were revealed. In special legislation, the written form is defined as a condition for the validity of the contract; the consequences of violation of this condition are defined in the norms of the Civil Code of Ukraine - non-compliance with the written form leads to the invalidity of these contracts.
 A number of factors affecting the content of business contracts on granting the right to use intellectual property objects have been determined. These factors are enshrined in the norms of economic and civil legislation, in particular in special laws that determine the legal regime of individual objects of intellectual property. The value of exemplary and standard contracts for the legal regulation of the use of intellectual property objects on the basis of the contract has been revealed.
 Based on the analysis of the requirements of economic and civil legislation, a list of essential conditions of the economic agreement on the transfer of intellectual property objects for use has been determined. It has been proven that the essential conditions of such an agreement are the conditions on the subject, on the terms, on the methods of using the object of intellectual property, on the territory to which the right to use the object of intellectual property is extended, as well as any conditions in respect of which the requirements at least. one of the parties to the contract must reach an agreement.
