The rising number of people “just living together”, people who are neither married nor in registered partnerships, clearly demonstrates that non-marital unions can no longer be ignored. To obtain an accurate picture of the situation of non-marital partners it was essential to conduct comparative research of multiple legal orders. This analysis threw a new light (at least from the Polish standpoint) on possible solutions to the problem of the regulation of legal aspects of “living together”. It appears that three different legal attitudes towards non-marital cohabitation may be distinguished in Europe. Firstly, there are legal orders in which by virtue of an explicit reference by the legislator – the regulations on marriage are applied to cohabitation (quasi-marriage cohabitation). Secondly, there also exist countries in which a law was adopted regulating selected aspects of actual cohabitation (implied model of cohabitation). And thirdly, there are legal orders in which any cohabitant-oriented legal regime exists.

The thought of authors concerning expediency of working out techniques and methodical recommendations taking into account legislative and normative acts being in force in Ukraine for that time, is substantiated, and organizational features of legal regulation of lands under homestead buildings of cities in view of basic functions of such territories for their constant development and creation of appropriate conditions for residing of inhabitants are marked. The attention that the legal regime of using such lands needs complements concerning necessity of their operation according to the rules of territory beautification of a populated locality and other documentation concerning beautification issues, is paid. The idea on expediency of the Land Code of Ukraine amendments, in particular in its provisions concerning the use of inhabited and public land buildings in the limits ofpopulated localities taking into account the rules of territory beautification, is spoken out. The authors focus attention on the requirements to regulate the use of inhabited and public land buildings not only in the land legislation but also in the legislative acts which regulate a question of inhabited and public buildings territory beautification. Thus, for appropriate carrying out forensic examination on speciality 10.20 it’s necessary to develop methodical support both by adopting corresponding acts of land and city building legislation, standards, norms and rules of drawing up a technical documentation on the determination (renewal) of land plots boundaries in nature (on terrain) and by creation of the scientifically grounded techniques and methodical recommendations on the designated subjects.

The doctrine’s lack of attention to the study of contractual relations on construction, taking into account the combination of socio-economic factors and trends in the development of civil and legal regulation, has been revealed. The theoretical development of the problems of unification and differentiation of contractual relations on construction taking into account the specifics of construction and installation works was noted. The improvement of the civil-legal regime of contractual construction activities is seen in the adoption of the consolidation act.

The Institute for Archaeological Studies of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, organized a conference on legal issues concerning archaeology and theft of antiquities. This meeting was stimulated by the German statute (Kulturgüterrückgabegesetz version of May 18, 2007) implementing the UNESCO convention of November 14, 1970, the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Archaeologists are afraid that the new legal regime might encourage thieves and art dealers to localize their activities in Germany. Michael Müller-Karpe of the Roman-Germanic Central Museum in Mainz, Germany, articulated these fears. Five reports on tomb robbery in Africa (Peter Breunig), Europe (Rüdiger Krause), Mediterranean countries (Hans-Markus von Kaenel, Wulf Raeck), and the Near East (Jan-Waalke Meyer) gave a bleak picture of contemporary dangers to archaeological sites and archaeological objects. Kurt Siehr gave the paper, “Legal Aspects of the Protection of Cultural Property,” stressing that the ratification and implementation of the 1970 UNESCO convention will improve the protection of cultural property in Germany. However, he also emphasized that the implementing statute could have provided stronger measures: Germany should ratify the UNIDROIT Convention of June 24, 1995, on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects as already urged by most German archaeologists and museums.

AbstractThe purpose of this research is to produce a review related to the exertion of Sui generis Regime in the utilization of Geo Stationary Orbit based on the principles of space law which are examined by comparison of laws and needs between developed and developing countries. This provision was made to provide legal substance related to technical matters and exertion related to the exploration of existing territories in space encompassing the Geo Stationary Orbit slot, and spacecraft  skimming. Developing countries strive to be determined "distinctive legal regime" (Sui Generis Regime) against the Geo Stationary Orbit (GSO) which is a specialty or specificity of existing international legal regimes or has previously been regulated in order not to become a stand-alone law. Research used a normative research using Normative Juridical methods namely by conducting an assessment related to legal aspects or the existence of regulations regarding space surrounding the responsibility of the problem. This is done to obtain data and to be able to analyze the sui generis regime on the exertion of geostationary orbits by Indonesia. The research is more concern related reviews special legal regime on the use of orbital slots which will experience challenges both in juridical and non-juridical terms, with the relationship between international law, this happened because there was no principium load, canon rule, and technical mechanism towards the 1967 space rules amendment. The uncertainty of these rules, especially in the utilization of Geo Stationary Orbit is used as a guideline for the need for the Sui Generis Regime as a regulation for the utilization of GSO which is inseparable from the principiums of space law. This is strengthened to provide benefits in terms of juridical and non-juridical aspects in the use of Geo Stationary Orbit. And aims to use space fairly and toward the interest of every humanity now or future.Keyword: geo stationary orbit; sui generis regime; the principle of spaceAbstrakTujuan [enelitian yaitu untuk menghasilkan ulasan terkait penggunaan Sui generis Regime dalam penggunaan Geo Stationary Orbit berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip hukum ruang angkasa yang dikaji dengan perbandingan hukum dan kebutuhan antara negara maju dengan negara berkembang. Ketentuan ini dibuat untuk memberikan subtansi hukum terkait hal-hal teknis dan penggunaan terkait ekplorasi wilayah yang ada di antariksa melingkupi slot Geo Stationary Orbit, serta peluncuran wahana antariksa. Negara-negara berkembang lebih mengupayakan agar dapat ditetapkannya “suatu rezim hukum khusus” (Sui Generis Regime) terhadap Geo Stationary Orbit (GSO) yang merupakan spesialisasi atau kekhususan dari rezim hukum internasional yang telah ada atau telah mengatur sebelumnya agar tidak menjadi hukum yang berdiri sendiri. Penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif dengan menggunakan metode Yuridis Normatif yaitu dengan melakukan pengkajian terkait aspek hukum atau adanya regulasi tentang ruang angkasa melingkupi tanggung jawab permasalahan. Hal ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan data dan agar dapat melakukan analisa sui generis regime terhadap pemanfaatan orbit geostationer oleh Indonesia. Penelitian lebih membahas ulasan terkait rezim hukum khusus berkaitan pemanfaatan  pada slot orbit akan mengalami tantangan baik dalam segi yuridis maupun non yuridis, dengan keterkaitan antara hukum internasional, hal ini terjadi karena tidak adanya muatan prinsip, aturan norma dan mekanisme teknis pada amandemen aturan luar angkasa 1967. Tidak tegasnya aturan tersebut terutama dalam penggunaan Geo Stationary Orbit dijadikan sebagai pedoman untuk perlunya Sui Generis Regime sebagai aturan penggunaan GSO yang tidak lepas dari prinsip-prinsip hukum ruang angkasa. Hal ini dikuatkan untuk memberikan keuntungan dari segi yuridis dan dari segi non yuridis dalam penggunaan Geo Stationary Orbit. Serta bertujuan untuk pemanfaatan ruang angkasa yang adil dan untuk kepentingan seluruh umat manusia sekarang ataupun masa yang akan datang.Kata kunci: geo stationary orbit; prinsip ruang angkasa; sui generis regime

Background: Cutting-edge digital technologies are being actively introduced into healthcare. The recent successful efforts of artificial intelligence in diagnosing, predicting and studying diseases, as well as in surgical assisting demonstrate its high efficiency. The AI’s ability to promptly take decisions and learn independently has motivated large corporations to focus on its development and gradual introduction into everyday life. Legal aspects of medical activities are of particular importance, yet the legal regulation of AI’s performance in healthcare is still in its infancy. The state is to a considerable extent responsible for the formation of a legal regime that would meet the needs of modern society (digital society). Objective: This study aims to determine the possible modes of AI’s functioning, to identify the participants in medical-legal relations, to define the legal personality of AI and circumscribe the scope of its competencies. Of importance is the issue of determining the grounds for imposing legal liability on persons responsible for the performance of an AI system. Results: The present study identifies the prospects for a legal assessment of AI applications in medicine. The article reviews the sources of legal regulation of AI, including the unique sources of law sanctioned by the state. Particular focus is placed on medical-legal customs and medical practices. Conclusions: The presented analysis has allowed formulating the approaches to the legal regulation of AI in healthcare.
