AbstractThe last decades present a significant development of the economic, social and cultural rights and specifically, the right to health. Until 2000, the right to health has not been interpreted officially. By providing international standards, General Comment No.14 on the right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health has led to wider agreement that the right to health includes the social determinants of health such as access to various conditions, services, goods or facilities that are crucial for its implementation. The Reports of the Special Rapporteur on the right to health within the UN human rights system have contributed to the process of gaining the greater clarity about the right to health. It is obvious that achieving the highest attainable level of health depends on the principle of progressive implementation and the availability of the necessary health resources. The possibility individual complaints to be considered by the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights was introduced with the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, entered into force in 2013.

AIMS AND METHODWe conducted a questionnaire survey of all 120 health authorities and boards responsible for the commissioning of services for the assessment and treatment of transsexual people in England, Scotland and Wales, in order to identify the nature of the input offered and assess conformity to current international standards of care.RESULTSEighty-two per cent of the commissioning authorities responded and confirmed that most health authorities/boards provide a full service for the treatment of transsexuals, although this would be delivered at a local level in only 20% of cases. However, 11 commissioning authorities gave confused and inaccurate responses and three other health authorities appear to hold views on the commissioning of these specialist services that are not in keeping with the current legal situation and a recent High Court ruling, which establishes the right of transsexual people to NHS assessment and treatment.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONSThere are discrepancies in prioritisation and provision of clinical services for this group that are not standard across Great Britain.

The expediency of involving in the practical activity of the civil service in the system of judicial authorities effective methods used in the field of business and consisting in the use of game technologies, which have proven their effectiveness in terms of providing quality services. It is focused on the fact that game theory can play a key role in the decision-making process, however, it is important to strictly adhere to the limits of its application. Possible conflict situations in the work of civil servants of the justice system are formulated and it is investigated that in conflict conditions each so-called participant of the game makes his course, i.e. chooses his strategy, as a result of which the relevant conflict situation is outlined and a set of strategies of all players. Some examples of the use of elements of game theory are given and the content of certain types of strategies is revealed. In particular, a strategy is described, which is denoted by the term "screening". Taking into account the definition of ways to modernize the civil service, the need to include in standardized training programs for civil servants of the justice system category "B" training course, which will include the basic principles of game theory for their active use in conflict, skills to compromise in relationships with visitors to the court - recipients of court services, selection of the right strategy, consideration of theoretical and game modeling of personnel management tasks, focusing on the ability to obtain and timely provide the necessary information to create a new civil service in the judiciary that meets international standards.

IntroductionGlobal insecurity and climate change are exacerbating the need for improved management of refugee resettlement services. International standards hold states responsible for the protection of the right of non-citizens to an adequate standard of physical and mental health while recognising the importance of social determinants of health. However, programmes to protect refugees’ right to health often lack coordination and monitoring. This paper describes the protocol for a scoping review to explore barriers and facilitators to the integration of health services for refugees; the content, process and actors involved in protecting refugee health; and the extent to which intersectoral approaches are leveraged to protect refugees’ right to health on resettlement, especially for vulnerable groups such as women and children.Methods and analysisPeer-reviewed (through four databases including MEDLINE, Web of Science, Global Health and PsycINFO) and grey literature were searched to identify programmes and interventions designed to promote refugee health in receiving countries. Two reviewers will screen articles and abstract data. Two frameworks for integration and intersectoral action will be applied to understand how and why certain approaches work while others do not and to identify the actors involved in achieving success at different levels of integration as defined by these frameworks.Ethics and disseminationFindings from the scoping review will be shared in relevant conferences and meetings. A brief will be created with lessons learnt from successful programmes to inform decision making in design of refugee programmes and services. Ethical approval is not required as human subjects are not involved.Trial registration numberRegistered on Open Science Framework athttps://osf.io/gt9ck/.

Right Of Access

El acceso a la información pública es considerado uno de los pilares de los sistemas democráticos contemporáneos. Su trascendencia radica en que, a través de dicho derecho humano, la población puede acceder a información fundamental para el ejercicio de otros derechos, la prevención de abusos por parte del Estado, y exigir la rendición de cuentas. Es por ello que, a partir de las políticas públicas, el Estado puede materializar los compromisos adoptados en materia de acceso a la información pública, estableciendo niveles de cumplimiento mínimos, pautas a seguir por las autoridades, así como mecanismos de protección y de garantía. Con motivo de lo anterior, el presente trabajo esboza un estándar sobre el derecho de acceso a la información, mismo que puede servir de base para la construcción de políticas públicas en materia de acceso a la información pública.

One of the most important indicators of production and economic activity of enterprises, which has a direct impact on financial performance is costs. The article defines the economic meaning of the concept of "costs", "production costs". Features of accounting and analytical support, organization of accounting and cost management, cost classification are considered. Classification is one of the methods of cognition and study of phenomena, processes, objects, which consists in their division into classes on the basis of certain features, properties and patterns of relations between them. The classification of costs helps to assess the costs incurred, to find possible features to increase cost efficiency and make the right decisions about their management. Classification of costs is the basis of their accounting, analysis and planning in the enterprise. Cost management takes into account such components as rationing, planning, cost accounting, deviation control and cost analysis, cost management and decision making. The problem of cost management is quite relevant for Ukrainian enterprises. Today, all businesses face the problem of applying International Financial Reporting Standards. The peculiarities of cost reflection according to International Financial Reporting Standards and National Accounting Standards (standards) are studied and analyzed. Achieving a high or sufficient level of each of the production or management processes of financial activities of economic entities must be accompanied by certain costs, the economic content of which will vary depending on the object. However, the owners (managers) of the enterprise or its individual structural unit must be clearly aware of what exactly the costs contribute to the creation and maintenance of the organization and their timely optimization. The Conceptual Basis of Preparation and Submission of Financial Statements means true presentation, prevalence of substance over form, prudence, completeness. These requirements formed the basis for the formation of accounting principles in International Standards and, accordingly, in Ukraine.

AbstractCan a WTO Member discriminate against foreign suppliers of services located in jurisdictions that refuse to share information with a government to permit it to determine if its nationals engage in tax evasion? Does it matter if the Member uses standards developed by an international body as the criterion for deciding whether to impose measures? In Argentina–Financial Services, the WTO Appellate Body held that services from jurisdictions that share financial tax information may be different from services provided by jurisdictions that do not cooperate in supplying such information. It overruled a Panel finding that measures to increase taxes on financial transactions with non-cooperative jurisdictions were discriminatory. We argue that the AB reached the right conclusion on the basis of the wrong arguments; that it missed an important opportunity to clarify what WTO Members are permitted to do to enforce their domestic regulatory regimes; and increased the scope for confusion and future litigation by considering that the likeness of services and service suppliers may be a function of prevailing domestic regulatory regimes.
