LEGAL PERSONALITY OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN UKRAINE AND MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION: COMPARATIVE LEGAL RESEARCH

The article examines the trends that have led to a significant increase in the legal personality of political parties in many European countries over the last decade. The growing role of political parties in the modern conditions of a developed democracy requires a revision of the standards of European legislation on their activities.
 Important issues of legal rights and obligations of political parties in accordance with both international standards and the legislation of Ukraine are revealed; defines the concepts of "subject of legal relations" and "legal capacity", as well as the legal side of the legal personality of a political party; formulates precise legal criteria and bases for recognition of a political party as a subject of law. A comparative legal study of the legal personality of political parties in Ukraine and the Member States of the European Union.
 The European standards on the legal personality of political parties have already been developed in most European countries and are aimed at achieving the constitutional and legal order is noted. The Law on Political Parties is a common denominator of legislative work, which regulates the organization of political parties and the financing of their participation in election campaigns.
 The development and implementation of standards for regulating the activities of political parties is a very important component of protecting the principles of a democratic society is determined. The importance of the role that political parties play in governance at both the national and supranational levels, this issue is currently given great importance in the European Union are given. The introduction of European standards in national legislation enables the state to effectively regulate the activities of political parties.

The Investigation of Peculiarities of the Occurrence of Subjective Civil Rights in Registration of a Patent

The main aspects of the impact of patents on technological and social development have been highlighted, and it has been suggested to adapt a powerful world experience in this field. The key aspects of the innovation process and the protection of the results of scientific and technical action with the help of patents, and the peculiarities of the occurrence of subjective civil rights are considered. The authors of the paper analyze the current legislative provisions and determine the direction of its development in the context of globalization. The article explores the theoretical construct of these relations and provides an analysis of civil legislation as applied to industry standards of economic legislation. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the application of the developed provisions will facilitate the harmonization of national legislations in the formation of legal systems. The aim of the article is to supplement and clarify the ideas about patent and of subjective civil rights. The factors that influenced the development of the doctrine civil rights have been considered, in particular, taking into account the experience of European countries.

Harmonization of the National Legislation on Cosmetic Products in the Context of the Standardization of the European Legislation in the Field

Considering the concern of the European Union to implement an internal market for cosmetic products which also ensures a high level of human health protection and that cosmetics is one of the industrial activities in the EU affected by counterfeiting, which may increase the risks to human health, this article examines how European horizontal legislation is implemented in national law. This article aims to present the legal instruments created at EU level to consolidate the safety of cosmetic products and to strengthen the surveillance of the cosmetic products introduced on the market, but also to protect consumers, taking into account that in order to ensure an effective control of the market it is necessary to have a high degree of administrative cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States. Moreover, the article aims to present the active role undertaken by the cosmetics industry in developing alternative testing methods within the Horizon 2020 Programme.

Stability of bioactive compounds, antioxidant and microbiological activity of açaí powder (Euterpe oleracea Mart.)

Açaí is a tropical fruit, typical of the Amazon and has been drawing attention due to its antioxidant capacity and high content of anthocyanins, responsible for several pharmacological and medicinal properties, as well as potential use as a natural dye. Due to the high perishability, the development of new products from the açaí power, which present greater stability to the storage time are being produced. The evaluation period was 25 days at a temperature of 25°C. The following parameters were evaluated: ascorbic acid, chlorophyll, total anthocyanins, total flavonoids, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity by ABTS●+ and DPPH● methods. Microbiological analysis were performed for Coliforms at 35°C and 45°C, Mesophiles, Staphylococcus coagulase positive, Molds, Yeasts, and Salmonella sp. The contents of ascorbic acid, total polyphenols and flavonoids differed statistically (p ˂ 0.05) from each other, throughout the storage. However, the antioxidant activity by the DPPH● method remained stable and the microbiological analysis remained within the current legislative standards. It is concluded that the açaí powder maintained its properties throughout the storage, being an excellent source of bioactive and phenolic compounds.

Can legislative standards be subject to ‘quarantine’? The functioning of the Tablet Sejm in Poland in the COVID-19 era

ABSTRACT Extraordinary circumstances, and the COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly meets this criterion, require extraordinary solutions to be adopted, extending to the state decision-making process to prevent such crises from escalating. For this reason, the introduction of the possibility of holding a remote session of the Sejm seemed a reasonable move from an epidemiological point of view, but in practice, it proved to be a great challenge, not only from an organisational and technological point of view, but also in terms of ensuring respect for fundamental legislative principles. The aim of this article is to show how the current parliamentary majority has instrumentally played on the Parliament and the legislative process under the guise of fighting against the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to gain makeshift political benefits, without any regard for the standards of law-making in a democratic rule of law state.

State social standards, guarantees and their provision in Ukraine

The relevance of the study is due to the inconsistency of living standards with standard norms and guarantees. In order to assess the standard of living in the region, to develop and implement regional social programs, to determine the right to receive social assistance financed from local budgets, local governments may approve a regional subsistence level not lower than the established one. The article considers the problems of ensuring the implementation of state social guarantees in Ukraine as the basis of state social policy. The social security legislation of Ukraine gives the following definition of state social guarantees – these are the minimum amounts of wages, incomes, pensions, social assistance, other types of social benefits established by laws and other regulations that ensure the standard of living not lower than the subsistence level. The concepts of standards, norms, social guarantees and their relationship are compared to each other, as well as ways of their observance and implementation. Ukrainian legislation and social standards set minimum consumption standards that do not meet all the needs of modern human for a sufficient living standard. To confirm this hypothesis, a comparative analysis of the minimum monthly wage in Ukraine and EU countries was conducted. The paper identifies that there are several methods in the world that determine the subsistence level, in particular: statistical, resource, relative, sociological, normative, combined. It was also found that the existence of norms in the legislation does not ensure their automatic implementation and requires adjustment of state mechanisms to ensure their implementation. It has been established that in the conditions of the started processes of integration into the European community, in the conditions when the prices in Ukraine have already reached the European level, and some even exceed them, the issues of revision of social standards, social guarantees and mechanisms of public administration to ensure them become more relevant. The study found that the minimum wage in Bulgaria is twice as high as in Ukraine. In some EU member states, there is no concept of a minimum wage. Social standards should reflect the desired living standard of the population of each country in a given period of its development. Social standards for all countries cannot be the same, because each country has its own idea of a decent living standard. The practical significance of the article is to provide proposals for adjusting the state regulation of the processes providing the population with social guarantees in Ukraine.

자주식 휠체어 접근성 실태 평가에 기반한 전주한옥마을 접근성맵 개발

This study was conducted to develop an accessibility map of Jeonju Hanok Village based on the assessment of the accessibility situation from manual wheelchair users" perspectives as an example providing accessibility information of tourist attractions visually. In April 2019, a field study was conducted using checklists developed based on current legislative standards and previous studies. Major findings are as follows. (1) Accessibility of public disability parking and restrooms were acceptable. However, there were only four accessible public restrooms in the areas and only four stores with accessible restrooms. (2) Accessibility of pedestrian routes in Gyeonggijeon were good, while thresholds of gates in and outside the Gyeonggijeon were too high for manual wheelchair users to overcome. (3) In most stores, level differences at the entrance were greater than two centimeters without proper ramps to enter the stores. (4) More than 80% of enter-type and mixed-type stores were impossible for manual wheelchair users to access even with temporary assistance such as backing wheelchairs up at a steep ramp. (5) Overall, most pedestrian routes were accessible for manual wheelchair users without external assistance. Based on the accessibility assessment, color and greyscale accessibility maps were developed. Using the accessibility map, wheelchair users can plan sightseeing and shopping routes ahead the tour avoiding inaccessible passages or stores.

Structuring Relations in Civil Law after the Termination of Relations between Subjects

The relevance of structuring relations in the field of civil law is determined by the forms of interaction between the subjects that were the initiators of the termination of legal relations. In this regard, the issues of maintaining relations, which could be continued in the future, are regulated on the basis of other contractual relations. With that, the works of legal scholars do not always provide sufficient grounds to propose points of fixation of the termination of relations. In this regard, the establishment of the meaning of legal facts for the formation of high-quality relationships between legal subjects after the termination of interaction remains very relevant. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time the aspects of creating and consolidating forms that would ensure sustainable development and minimize conflicts after termination of contractual relations are considered in civil law. The authors of the paper analyze the current legislative provisions and determine the direction of its development in the context of globalization. The article explores the theoretical construct of these relations and provides an analysis of civil legislation as applied to industry standards of economic legislation. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the application of the developed provisions will facilitate the harmonization of national legislations in the formation of bloc legal systems.

Multicriteria to estimate the environmental risk of sediment from the Obedska Bog (Northern Serbia), a reservation area on UNESCO's list

The objective of this current study is to compare related sediment legislation standards and norms to the diversity and influence of anthropogenic and natural (geogenic) sources of pollution in the investigated fluvial relief test site region of the Obedska bog. All metals (nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) except chromium (Cr)) and arsenic (As) have higher values than the Upper Continental Crust (UCC) for loess sediment. Several sharp leaps in the enrichment factor (r) suggested “indicators of anthropogenic metal pollution” for Cd, Cu (r > 5.0) and Zn, Ni (r > 1.0) for this region. In addition, the Chemical Proxy of Alteration (CPA, 60–95) from the unique Jadar block terrane and neighbouring representative catchment areas, confirmed moderate to higher intensity of alteration. Principal Component Analysis/Factor Analysis (PCA/FA) and cluster analysis suggest that Ni, Zn, Cu and Cd are derived from several anthropogenic sources, whereas As is convincingly of geogenic origin, and Pb and Cr exhibit dual origins. The sum of 16 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (EPA PAHs) indicated heterogenic sources, but minor effects to biota. The results of the current investigation indicated intensive and highly diffuse sources of pollution in this United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO's] region. The outcomes indicate that Cu should be added to the European Union [EU] watch list of emerging contaminants.

Enterococci as Fecal Indicator in a Tropical Beach: A Case Study

Fecal enterococci are generally not virulent; however, multidrug-resistant strains have emerged as leading causes of hospital-acquired infections. Thus, periodic enterococci monitoring should be included in highly populated cities to control the dissemination of multidrug-resistant strains to the marine environment. This study aimed to quantify enterococci bacteria from water and intertidal sediment samples in a beach located near Rio de Janeiro touristic spots. We also intended to accomplish if enterococci should be included in touristic beaches sanitary monitoring. Toward this approach, we monitored from August to December 2014 fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) at a beach close to some touristic spots through multiple tube method. Although FIB quantification was within sanitary standards of Brazilian legislation, high enterococci densities (=30 MNP.100 mL-1) were detected in the water collected in August. Thus, enterococci monitoring should be included in touristic beaches to avoid the risk of multidrug-resistant bacteria dissemination among swimmers and beachgoers.

Parliamentary Scrutiny of the Quality of Legislation within Europe

Abstract The topic of this article is a comparative analysis of parliamentary scrutiny of the quality of legislation contained in bills in the British system and in Continental Europe (with a special focus on Italy as case study). The main difference between the two systems is due to the establishment, especially in Continental Europe, of specific parliamentary tools, standards, or bodies to scrutinize the quality of legislation. The hypothesis underpinning the article is that this is the result of the different approaches used to draft bills in the two systems. The British model of legislative drafting has shown its strength: clearly, it is better having a legislative product which is well-drafted upstream, instead of a scrutiny downstream. However, in the United Kingdom, there is currently a debate concerning the opportunity to strengthen parliamentary scrutiny of the quality of legislation by establishing legislative standards and bodies (such as a Legislative Standards Committee) for this purpose. The article will describe the Continental system of parliamentary scrutiny of the quality of legislation and then focus on the British debate. This will help to draw some conclusions, asking whether Continental Europe’s model of parliamentary scrutiny could be of any value for the United Kingdom.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Profile, Chemical Composition and Acceptability of Suya (a West African Grilled Meat)

This study was carried out to investigate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon profiles, chemical composition and acceptability of suya. Meats from cow, goat, sheep and chicken were processed into suya samples and analyzed to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon profile, proximate composition, quality indices and sensory values. The results showed that benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), benzo[a]anthracene (B[a]A), benzo[b]fluoranthene (B[b]FA), benzo[ghi]perylene (B[ghi]P) and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (DB[a,h]A) suya smples from cow, goat, sheep and chicken meat were 5.74 ± 1.00, 5.72 ± 1.10, 5.87 ± 1.00, 5.91 ± 1.00, 6.19 ± 2.00; 5.29 ± 1.00, 5.38 ± 1.01, 5.52 ± 1.00, 5.03 ± 1.00, 5.73 ± 1.20; 5.32 ± 1.01, 5.49 ± 1.00, 5.41 ± 1.00, 5.12 ± 1.00, 5.91 ± 1.01 and 5.08 ± 1.00, 5.02 ± 1.00, 5.03 ± 1.00, 4.97 ± 1.00; 5.14 ± 1.00 respectively. This study also showed that suya samples prepared from different meat sources contain high concentrations of carcinogenic PAHs, (B[a]P), (B[a]A), (B[b]FA), (B[ghi]P) and (DB[a,h]A) above the EU maximum level of 5.0 µg kg−1 (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 835/2011 of 19 August 2011) for B[a]P permitted in grilled or barbecued meat. The high concentrations of carcinogenic PAHs in suya samples could endanger the lives of consumers and therefore of public health concern. However, the quality indices such as peroxide values (mgeq.peroxide/kg), free fatty acidity (%), thiobarbituric acid (mMol/kg), and total volatile base-N (mgN/kg) are also within maximum acceptable limits and legislative standards. The high sensory values obtained for the suya samples also suggested that the suya samples from different meat sources are also acceptable to the consumers.

A Model for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Educational Leadership: The Case of Greece

Educational leadership has been studied in depth so far worldwide. However, to our knowledge, there is a broad scope for further research in terms of measuring educational leadership effectiveness. Many attempts throw the years were undergone in Greece in order to establish an evaluation process for educational leadership, many reactions raised, continuous changes have occurred and the issue remains timeless. This study aims to introduce a model of assessing the outcomes of educational leadership considering the most important stake holders that affect. These stake holders according to literature review in broader categories are the academic staff, school community, students, local society, and administrative personnel. Educational leader’s effectiveness can be also assessed against their academic and operational duty results such as the implementation of national educational policy, administrative tasks and relative operational outcomes in budgeting, handling and overcoming managerial obstacles, meeting the legislation standards. The purpose of this research is to design a comprehensive, applicable and holistic evaluation model for assessing educational leadership based on the results on the above criteria. For this purpose an extensive relative literature review in educational leadership studies has been conducted in order to explore in depth the most significant recipients that educational leadership influence and affect direct or indirect respectively. The core idea is that the most influenced recipients by educational leadership could be the most appropriate evaluators for the results of it. Thus has been designed a model based on the most significant stake holders who affected by educational leaders, complimented with a questionnaire as evaluation tool, which is structured with particular questions for each broad category of stake holders. In this study a relative literature review, and a draft of a pilot evaluation model in assessing educational leadership presenting, while the ultimate target is in a following study the evaluation model to be implemented in real sample of participants in order to present the impact of educational leadership effectiveness with respect to subordinates of academic, managerial staff and students of an educational organization.It is of a great importance to have an evaluation model for assessing the educational leadership effectiveness for all levels of education such as primary, secondary and higher education. Educational leaders affect many recipients such as students, faculty members, academics and community. Hence, a broader evaluation model should involve assessment criteria from all these stake holders due to the fact that educational leadership has a great direct or indirect influence in several micro and macroeconomic critical results, such as students achievements, learning outcomes, school climate, local society bonds, teachers behaviours, ethics, culture, civilization, and eventually national economy competiveness. A transparent evaluation model of school leaders could provide better understanding of the job left to be done for every educational leader, to recognise competences, to disclose weaknesses in order to work on them, to facilitate criteria for improvement, overcome obstacles and eventually to promote and improve educational efficiency.

INTEGRATION OF DOMESTIC BANKS IN THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM

The article reveals the integration of domestic banks into the global financial system. An urgent issue today is the integration of the activities of domestic commercial banks into the global financial system, which is characterized by globalization processes. Globalization is a process of global economic, political and cultural integration, the main characteristics of which are the world division of labor, global migration of monetary, human and productive resources, standardization of legislation, economic and technological processes, as well as the convergence of cultures of different countries. The economic aspects of globalization are characterized by free trade, free movement of capital, reduction of taxes on the profits of enterprises, ease of movement of industries between different states in order to reduce the costs of labor and natural resources.

Implementation of the public-private partnership mechanisms will be a guarantee of steady long-lasting social-economic development of the clinic. Conclusions: The priority way of development of the university clinics under new economic conditions is basing their economic mechanisms on the PPP principles. To realize this, the conceptual approaches to organizing university stomatological clinic model based on the public-private partnership principles were introduced (with the example of university stomatological clinic).

Análise microbiológica da água de diferentes fontes da Escola Estadual Agrotécnica Afonso Queiroz

Water is essential for the survival of the human being and the balance of nature, though it can hold several microorganisms that can cause different pathologies what makes necessary its microbiological control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of the water from different sources of the Afonso Queiroz State Agrotechnical School located in the city of Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Two samples of the shallow well and the Canavial Stream were collected during the morning and afternoon periods. Using the Colilert method, it was possible to identify total coliforms, Escherichia coli and plate counts of heterotrophic bacteria. It was concluded that the water evaluated was not within the standards of the current legislation, due to the presence of at least one microorganism researched. Therefore, the water from the sources cannot be used for human consumption, becoming mandatory the adoption of preventive measures and adequate treatment to preserve the water sources.

A review of the pesticide MCPA in the land‐water environment and emerging research needs

AbstractDue to its high solubility and poor adsorption to the soil matrix, the post‐emergence herbicide 2‐methyl‐4‐chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) is susceptible to transport into surface and groundwater bodies, where it can result in compromised water quality and breaches of legislative standards. However, there is still poor understanding of catchment scale dynamics and transport, particularly across heterogeneous hydrogeological settings. While it is known that MCPA degrades under aerobic conditions, negligible breakdown can occur in anaerobic environments, potentially creating a legacy in saturated soils. Fast runoff pathways post application are likely transport routes, but the relative contribution from the mobilization of legacy MCPA from anaerobic zones has yet to be quantified, making the delineation of MCPA sources encountered during monitoring programs challenging. While ecotoxicological effects have been examined, little is known about the interaction of MCPA (and its degradation products) with other pesticides, with nutrients or with colloids, and how this combines with environmental conditions to contribute to multiple stressor effects. We examine the state of MCPA knowledge, using case study examples from Ireland, and consider the implications of its widespread detection in waterbodies and drinking water supplies. Research themes required to ensure the sustainable and safe use of MCPA in an evolving agricultural, social and political landscape are identified here. These include the need to identify mitigation measures and/or alternative treatments, to gain insights into the conditions governing mobilization and attenuation, to map pathways of migration and to identify direct, synergistic and antagonistic ecotoxicological effects.This article is categorized under: Water and Life > Stresses and Pressures on Ecosystems Science of Water > Water Quality

Biological nutrient removal from slaughterhouse wastewater via nitritation/denitritation using granular sludge: an onsite pilot demonstration

AbstractBACKGROUNDIn this study, an onsite pilot sequencing batch reactor (SBR) of 450 L was operated at a local Flemish slaughterhouse in two consecutive periods. During period I, nitrogen removal via nitritation/denitritation (Nit/DNit) was achieved by the use of an innovative startup strategy without seed sludge and subsequently maintained by the use of aeration phase length control based on the oxygen uptake rate (OUR). In period II, the operational strategy was modified. In order to obtain Nit/DNit granular sludge (GS), an anaerobic (feast) feeding was introduced followed by a dynamic controlled (OUR‐based) aerobic (famine) reaction step.RESULTSAfter 74 days, the local (Flemish) legislation standards for COD (125 mg O2 L−1) and T‐N (15 mg N L−1) were fulfilled. During period II, floccular sludge was partially transformed into GS, which resulted in increased COD and NH4‐N conversion rates of 50 and 60% respectively. Average removal efficiencies for SCOD, N and P during period II were 89.5 ± 4.2, 88.8 ± 9.8 and 84.4 ± 9.3% respectively. Despite the relatively low biomass concentrations (2.5 g L−1), excellent sludge settling was reported, with SVI30 < 100 mL g−1 from day 167 onwards. Moreover, it was found that the operational strategy and temperature variability had a crucial impact on the microbial community dynamics and granule growth.CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrated the Nit/DNit BNR‐GS system in a real operational environment through the operation of an onsite pilot plant. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Тенденции правового регулирования государственно-частного партнерства на международном и национальном уровнях

INTRODUCTION. Currently, most States have specific legislation on PPPs. However, national legislative conditions for the implementation of PPPs has similarities as well as significant differences. The transformation of PPP conception which is offered internationally in the context of achieving Sustainable Development Goals, generates new law trends in the field of PPPs as well as impacts on regulation of PPPs. With growing integration, including legal, it is crucial to ensure to ensure the optimal interaction of Russian legislation on PPPs with international PPP standards and the legal framework of PPPs of other states. This determined the purpose of the study, which consists in identifying and comparing trends and best foreign practices in the legal PPPs regulation with Russian PPPs legislation with the aim of determining ways for its further development. Research objectives: to identify the main trends in PPP regulation at the international and national levels in the context of the main shortcomings and gaps of the Russian PPP legislation; determine the conditions for a more informed choice of foreign models of legal regulation of PPPs to improve Russian legislation; summarize the best practices of legal regulation of PPPs at the international level and in comparable foreign legislation; on their basis, formulate proposals that can be considered and used when amending Russian legislation on PPPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The material for this study was Russian and foreign legislation on PPPs, model acts and decisions of international organizations, assessments of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank regarding the level of compliance with national legislation and international PPP standards, as well as Russian and foreign scientific works in the field of PPP, materials of judicial and law enforcement practice. The methodological basis of the study covers the general scientific (the method of logical and system analysis, the dialectical method, the methods of deduction and induction) and the private scientific (comparative legal, formal legal, interpretative) methods of cognition. RESEARCH RESULTS. The study reached the following conclusions. The international trend of PPP regulation as a means of achieving the SDGs was not reflected either in Russian legislation on PPPs, or as a mechanism to achieve Russia's national development goals or an instrument for implementing national projects. The approaches to the regulation of key terms for PPP projects, including the object composition of PPPs, sources of financing and return on investment in PPP projects, the terms of PPP agreements, guarantees and measures of state support for PPPs, tools for resolving disputes in PPPs also do not coincide with international trends and the best foreign models of regulation of these relations and need optimization. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. In order to establish a favorable legal framework for PPPs in Russia, the improvement of PPP legislation should be carried out in accordance with international and foreign trends in the legal regulation of PPPs. At the same time, consideration and selection of models of legal PPP regulation should be carried out taking into account the factors that determine the mechanism of legal regulation of PPP in various states. According to the author, the factors include the type of legal system of the state, the membership of the state in international and regional organizations, the level of economic development of the state, the degree of its participation in the regulation of the economy and private sector. Assessments of the international organisations in regarding the level of compliance of foreign PPP legislation with international PPP standards is also important. Based on these findings, the article presents proposals on areas for improving Russian legislation on PPPs.
