In this paper I argue that the shift from liberty to equality in the legal regulation of freedom of religion is part of a larger process of globalization of law that can change the “quality” of the right to freedom of religion and belief However, this shift does not have the same impact on different areas of the legal regulation of freedom of religion and belief. Moreover, it needs to be contextualized and considered in the light of the different historical and cultural background of each country. For these reasons the shift from liberty to equality cannot be understood as a linear process. The forms it takes and its final outcome can be very different according to the legal fields and the countries that are taken into consideration. Europe, with its rich background of internal diversity, provides a good case-study to test the soundness of this claim.

Abstract Current prototyping frameworks are often prompt-based and heavily rely on designers’ experience. The lack of systematic guidelines in prototyping activities causes unwanted variation in the quality of the prototype. Notably, there is limited, or no prototyping framework exists that enables human factors engineering (HFE) guidelines be part of the early product development process. In this paper, a pre-prototyping framework is proposed to render human-centered design strategies to guide designers before the hands-on prototyping activity starts. The methodology consists of extracting key factors related to prototyping and human factors engineering principles based on an extensive literature review. The key elements are then combined to form the prototyping categories, dimensions (theory), and tools (practice). The resulting prototyping framework can be used to develop prototyping strategies consist of theoretical guidelines and practical tools that are needed during the prototyping of human-centered products. The framework provides systematic guidance to designers in the early stages of the design process so that designers, in particular novices in ergonomics and human factors, can have a head start in building the prototypes in the right direction. Finally, a case study is presented to demonstrate a walk-through and efficacy of the proposed pre-prototyping framework.

The Tallinn Manuals (the Manuals) attempted to clarify how to apply existing international law to cyber operations. Though the Manuals are non-binding instruments, the Group of International Experts claimed that they reflected the lex lata applicable to cyber operations. However, this claim is questionable due to the dominating role of a few Western states in the drafting process and the linked neglect of the practice of “affected states” in cyber operations. This article examines the quality of the Manuals’ drafting process and the composition and impartiality of the experts involved. It focuses on the issue of the prohibition of the use of force. The aim of this examination is not to discuss whether the Manuals provided the right answer to the question of how international law applies to cyber operations. Rather, they function as a case study of how legal scholarship may affect the making of international law. The article concludes that certain rules in the Manuals are marked by NATO influence and overlook the practice of other states engaged in cyber operations. Therefore, the Manuals disregard the generality of state practice, which should be the decisive factor in the formation of customary international law. As far as “political activism” may be involved, the article argues that the role of legal scholars as assistants to the cognition of international law could be compromised.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the importance of medicine for modern society. The right of a citizen to timely medical care is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and is one of the most important social obligations of the state. The need for legal regulation of this sphere arises from the variety of types of medical care and the variety of medical services. Taking into account that medicine affects the health of citizens and if the quality of services is inadequate, it can lead to significant harm to the patient, up to death, the legal basis for providing medical services should be elaborated in detail and avoid double interpretation of various legal norms. With the introduction of market principles in Russia, a new sphere of providing medical services to the population – paid. This allowed us to solve a number of problems related to improving the quality of medical services, their availability in terms of receiving highly specialized care, and reducing the burden on the insurance medicine system. At the same time, the need for a detailed legal justification for the provision of such services has become obvious, and, first of all, the issues of the contract for paid medical services, as the main form of business relations, enshrined in civil law. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in modern Russian legislation there is a certain discrepancy between the social significance of the health care industry, as well as the constitutional status of the right to health protection and an unreasonably low level of theoretical justification for the branch legal regime in this area of health care. Therefore, it is necessary to further modernize certain provisions of medical law that regulate various aspects of the provision of medical services. This includes issues related to the contract for paid medical services.

Since the new Constitution came into force, there has been an increase in the number of high-demand religious groups. The more accommodating and tolerant approach towards religions brought about by the Constitution has created a fertile environment for the development of alternative religious groups. In certain cases, unfortunately, this has resulted in the violation of other basic human rights within the confines of these groups. There is very little monitoring of the various religions in South Africa and these violations seem to be on the increase. A need arose to oppose the infringement of human rights in high-demand religious groups. The organisation RIGH (Rights of Individuals Grant Honour To) was established to address this need. This article aims, first, to point out how the exercising of one basic human right, in this particular case the right to freedom of religion as exercised in Hertzogville, led to the violation of other basic human rights. Secondly, it suggests ways of opposing the infringements on other basic human rights by high-demand religious groups.

The article discusses the constitutional category of «labour», the definition of which is not enshrined in legislative acts because it is considered to be a well-known category, which is not a special legal one and does not require any clarification. However, this approach creates difficulties for legal regulation, as it blurs the boundaries for the legislator and the executor. Lack of awareness of the concept of a regulated category can lead to a situation when the legislator, creating a new law or making amendments to an existing one, will subject to regulation the area that does not pertain to the relevant legal phenomenon, or vice versa - will ignore part of the content of the regulated category, which is certain to negatively affect the quality of legal regulation. Law enforcement practices similarly face difficulties in having only doctrinal understandings of statutory concepts, which creates inconsistency in decisions made by lawyers in course of their professional work. The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrined the category of «labour» in a number of articles, but did not clarify the interpretation of its concept. The analysis of economic and legal views on labor allows us to conclude that, despite the status of a well-known category, which, it would seem, does not need an explanation, only the presence of clear criteria for recognizing an activity as labor, provides high-quality legal regulation, in particular, it allows not only to separate the types of activities that are not subject to legal regulation, but also to choose the right branch of law that regulates social relations in each particular case.
