Статус современного государства во многом определяется состоянием и качеством окружающей природной среды и ее компонентов, количественными и каче- ственными показателями ее территории и природных богатств, эффективной «зеле- ной» экономикой, в совокупности демонстрирующих реализацию государством функции по обеспечению прав на благоприятную окружающую среду. Для этих целей государство обязано определять государственную политику на основе экологических принципов; соответствовать высоким международным стандартам по разработке и внедрению экологизированных институтов, сопровождаемых эффективными механизмами реали- зации. The status of a modern state is largely determined by the state and quality of the natural environment and its components, quantitative and qualitative indicators of its territory and natural resources, an effective "green" economy, which together demonstrate the state's implementation of the function of ensuring the rights to a favorable environment. For these purposes, the state is obliged to establish a state policy based on environmental principles; comply with high international standards for the development and implementation of green institutions, accompanied by effective implementation mechanisms.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the interaction of special bodies, services and units in the field of cybersecurity. The specificityof information resources in the cybernetic space, which manifests itself in the rapid development of information and information and communication technologies, is singled out. The problem of national security is multifaceted, one of the most important areas of its support is the creation of an effective law enforcement system that can withstand negative trends in the administrative and legal sphere of public relations. Also, noting the importance of the aforementioned problematic issue, a set of tasks related to ensuring cyber security was identified, with the definition of the role and place in this process of administrative and legal means of regulation. The primary task of all branches of state power at the present stage of the development of the information society is formulated, which consists in the introduction and implementation of mechanisms for generating adopted decisions in the field of cyber security. The adoption of the State Target Program for the Cyber security of Ukraine, which will serve as a starting point for the real interaction of the subjects of the cyber security of Ukraine, is proposed. The peculiarities of the State Target Program for Cyber security of Ukraine, which consist in determining the specific areas of the state policy on counteraction to cyber threats, are characterized, the main among which should be a conceptual change in the philosophy of administration in the field of cyber security, from coordination of activities of public authorities and law enforcement agencies to the operational management of them; the development of public-private partnerships, in terms of giving private business and the public real leverage on the state of cyber security. The article focuses on the aforementioned direction, which can be implemented by the inclusion of cybersecurity entities by public institutions and independent experts; implementation of business projects in the direction of modernization of information and information and communication infrastructure to the level of international standards; implementation of measures aimed at increasing the literacy of cyber-citizens at all levels of education.

Objective: This study evaluates the quality of educational standards in the colleges of pharmacy in the State of Libya using FIP-QA framework which is made of five sections representing the five pillars of quality, namely: context, structure, process, outcomes and impact. Method: A questionnaire was constructed based on the indicators in each section of the framework. Answers were collected by distributing the questionnaire to eight colleges of pharmacy at public universities. Results: 42 out of 50 professors completed the questionnaire. Most participants believe that the context, structure and process of pharmaceutical education in Libya require significant improvement in order to comply with international standards. Conclusions: Since the impact of pharmacy education depends on the previous pillars, it is clear that the current curricula are inefficacious in producing graduates who have the competencies to exercise patient-centred roles, and to address the limitations in providing pharmaceutical care-related services.

The article is devoted to the necessary defense as a circumstance that precludes the criminality of an act in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The significance and importance of the existence of this norm is proclaimed both in the criminal law and in the Basic law of the state – the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The existence of a rule on necessary defense in the state emphasizes the development of its legal system, allowing citizens to defend their own interests and protect the interests of others, in ways not prohibited by law, thereby preventing exceeding the limits of necessary defense. A number of issues related to the application of the norms provided for in article 37 of the Criminal code of Russia, as well as the norms of the Special part of the Criminal code of Russia, which provide for liability for crimes committed when exceeding the limits of necessary defense, were raised. The study of the relevant norms makes it possible to identify the advantages and disadvantages of legal regulation of circumstances that exclude the criminality of an act, including the shortcomings of judicial and investigative practice. The author criticizes the existing approach and suggests ways to resolve these problems, including by correcting the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated September 27, 2012, № 19 «About application by courts of legislation on necessary defense and causing harm when detaining a person who has committed a crime». Because of the ambiguous and often inconsistent application of norms of the criminal legislation on necessary defense, the authors give the recommendations (in further reconstruction of the relevant provisions of article 37 of the Criminal Code) to use an enumeration approach of presenting the legal formulation of these rules that allow the defender to cause any harm to an attacker. At the same time, it creates the most understandable, for citizens, formulation of the norm that allows lawfully causing harm to public relations protected by criminal law.

Using a large sample of Spanish organizations, in this chapter, the authors empirically reveal the state of health of the Spanish software industry in terms of software process improvement, both in the monitoring of working methodologies and the usage of tools, and they provide the necessary information in order to understand the real skills and efforts to improve the quality of products and end-user services. Having found that a significant number of organizations do not have specific training programs or their own software quality department, it is an essential point of departure for professionals to increase awareness of the need to implement quality processes to improve the competitiveness of the company. The state of knowledge of the methodologies aimed at quality and existing national and international standards shows that these are barely known by professionals in Spanish companies, especially among SMEs and micro-enterprises. However, most Spanish small businesses and large enterprises think the CMMI model best suits their needs, both business and technical. This growing interest is the main reason behind the fact that Spain has almost 38% of the European CMMI certifications, including 22 new certifications since 2010, and is the fourth country in the world in terms of number of CMMI appraisals.

Individual and corporate responsibility is the basis for sustainable development of society and the world. Environmental responsibility of business entities is a prerequisite for the survival of people, which is why it is an important aspect of corporate responsibility. The purpose of the paper is to determine the content of corporate and social responsibility of business entities in the field of environmental protection in terms of its interaction with the state on the basis of public-private partnership. The general scientific method of comparison made it possible to compare the Ukrainian legislative base on environmental protection with the legal framework of regulation and practice in foreign countries. Through the structural and functional analysis, it was possible to consider the features of the interaction between the state and business structures and between other institutions the activities of which are related to environmental protection. The analysis revealed the necessity to consider and include elements of environmental and social responsibility of business in the mechanisms of public-private partnership. The study shows that public-private partnership is an imperative element in the composition of social responsibility. The author proposes a definition of environmental responsibility that encompasses three factors: legal, economic and social. In the future, this research area will be of interest as a comparison of the legislative support of the types of responsibility for foreign and international standards in the context of implementing the relevant standards in the Ukrainian legislative framework and their implementation on practice.
