In the context of the rapid development of new medical technologies, the problem of protecting the rights of citizens and ensuring respect for human dignity is becoming increasingly urgent. The authors come to the conclusion that the protection of the patient’s rights when using genomic technologies can be carried out in the order of claim proceedings. Typical methods of protection are recovery of damages in the event of injury to health, compensation for moral damage in connection with the violation of such non-material benefits as life, health, physical integrity, privacy. Particular attention is given to the problem of children’s rights protection when using genomic technologies, including the right to natural biological origin, the right to know their biological parents and family (genetic) history, since the use of advances in genetics and biomedicine by one generation of people can be a serious challenge to the existence of fundamental freedoms and equality of future generations.At the moment, states should define the limits of possible intervention in the sphere of private (parental) arbitrariness in order to prevent future harm to children born with the help of modern technologies. Consideration of individual problems of the rights of citizens protection when using genomic technologies indicates objective difficulties in finding solutions due to bioethical principles, the need to ensure a fair balance between the interests of the parties to the relevant relationship and third parties, and the need to minimize potential risks. The breakthrough achievements of medical and biological science pose an important task for the state to develop an effective system of legal guarantees aimed at ensuring respect for human dignity, protecting the rights and interests of an individual, preventing the biotechnological construction of a person for the purposes of eugenic practice, etc.

Age Of Majority

The commented ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal concerns the constitutionality of the provision of Article 70(1) of the Family and Guardianship Code, which provided that the time limit for a child to bring an action to deny the paternity of his or her mother’s husband is three years and runs from the moment the child reaches the age of majority, regardless of the child’s know-ledge of his or her biological origin, i.e. regardless of whether the child within that time limit acquired knowledge that he or she did not come from his or her mother’s husband and whether the child could decide to bring an action. The expiry of the three-year period resulted in the expiry of the child’s right to claim the denial of paternity of the mother’s husband and, consequently, precluded the possibility of a positive determination of the paternity of a man other than the mother’s husband. The Constitutional Tribunal found this provision to be inconsistent with Article 30 in conjunction with Article 47 in conjunction with Article 31(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The author agrees with the position expressed by the Constitutional Tribunal in the judgment in question, which in this case provides a basis for consideration of the relationship between the right to know one’s biological origin and the value of stabilising the civil status of a child and persons remaining in an established family relationship with him or her.

Abstract: human rights are a set of ethical values whose purpose is to protect and enable the realization of human dignity in its various dimensions and also prevent the reduction of the individual to the condition of object or, above all, the reduction of his condition as subject of rights, such as the right to life, freedom, security, equality. The universal character of human rights protection demonstrates some weaknesses, especially in the transposition into concrete legal systems, so what we propose is a brief analysis of human rights from Hannah Arendt.Uma Breve Análise Acerca dos Direitos Humanos a partir da Crítica de Hannah ArendtResumo: os direitos humanos são um conjunto de valores éticos que têm por finalidade proteger e possibilitar a realização da dignidade humana em suas várias dimensões e, ainda, impedir a redução do indivíduo à condição de objeto ou, sobretudo, a diminuição da sua condição na qualidade de sujeito de direitos, a exemplo o direito à vida, à liberdade, à segurança, à igualdade. O caráter universal de proteção aos direitos humanos demonstra algumas fragilidades, principalmente, na transposição para ordenamentos jurídicos concretos, assim, o que propomos é uma breve análise acerca dos direitos humanos a partir de Hannah Arendt.

In a context of rapidly emerging technologies, this chapter considers the bearing of human dignity on the regulatory environment. It opens by suggesting that one of the reasons why moral communities are now debating human dignity with such intensity is because of concerns arising from the rapid development of novel biotechnologies. Next, it considers how far it is possible to satisfy ideals of regulatory coherence when the regulation of emerging technologies hinges on our divided understanding of human dignity. Thirdly, it identifies two threats to human dignity that are immanent in modern regulatory thinking. One threat is a risk-management mentality that marginalizes (and possibly excludes) moral considerations; and the other is an over-reliance on technological instruments such that the complexion of the regulatory environment denies humans the opportunity to express their dignity.

ABSTRACTIn the universe of technologically advanced societies, the respect for privacy as a fundamental right presents an increasingly urgent requirement, whereas the right to privacy, in the current system of fundamental rights, it is essential to human  dignity.  It  is  urgent,  in  this  context,  to  inquire  about  the  construction  of  a  new  constitutionalism  of  the  electronic space  in  which  privacy  protection  will  constitute  an  essential  right  in  the  consolidation  of  social  identity,  and  therefore, social  dignity.  The  technology,  despite  allowing  the  construction  of  a  private  sphere  more  diversified,  paradoxically,  becomes more vulnerable in the moment as its’ exposure becomes constant. It justifies the growing need for a further strengthening  of  the  legal  protection  of  privacy  so  that  the  Principle  of  Human  Dignity  is  effectively  implemented.  The  primary objective  of  this  research  is  to  seek  a  new  valuation  of  human,  social  and  juristic  scientific  and  technological  innovations used by public and private institutions, having as imperative the equal social dignity. To attain this end, it will be adopted the Civil Constitutional Law’s methodology, taking as theoretical framework privacy in surveillance society, an object theme of deep studies by the Italian jurist Stefano Rodotà.RESUMONo universo das sociedades tecnologicamente avançadas, o respeito à privacidade como direito fundamental apresenta-se como uma exigência cada vez mais urgente, visto que o direito à privacidade, no sistema atual de direitos fundamentais, revela-se essencial à própria dignidade humana. Urge, nesse contexto, a necessidade de se perquirir acerca da construção de um novo constitucionalismo do espaço eletrônico, no qual a proteção da privacidade venha a se constituir em um direito essencial na consolidação da identidade social, e, portanto, da dignidade social. A tecnologia, apesar de possibilitar a construção de uma esfera privada diversificada, paradoxalmente, a torna mais vulnerável a partir do momento em que sua exposição torna-se constante. Justifica-se, assim, a necessidade de um maior fortalecimento da proteção jurídica da privacidade a fim de que o Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana seja efetivamente concretizado. O objetivo precípuo deste trabalho está em buscar uma nova valoração humana, social e jurídica das inovações científicas e tecnológicas utilizadas pelas instituições públicas e privadas, tendo-se por imperativo a igual dignidade social. Para persecução deste fim, foi adotada a metodologia do Direito Civil Constitucional, tomando-se por marco teórico a privacidade na sociedade de vigilância, tema objeto de profundos estudos do jurista italiano Stefano Rodotà.

The article examines the problems of enforcement of the right to human dignity in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the modernmodel of realization and protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms is an integral attribute for sustainable development ofsociety, and the right to dignity as a determining human right occupies a central place in the system of constitutional law.A special attention is drawn on the double dimension of human dignity in the Constitution of Ukraine, its significance and specialplace in the system of constitutional law.The legal views of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in terms of knowledge and substantiation of human dignity, its key rolein the development of the human rights protection system, the tendency to change approaches to the interpretation of this concept overthe past 20 years have been analyzed.An attention is also focused on the inexpediency of using a positivist approach during interpretation of such a right category ashuman dignity.The author takes up the position that understanding the right to human dignity is essential to the development of natural legaldoctrine of human rights.The problem of exercising the right to human dignity is to develop own approaches to understanding human dignity, and so thatthe adoption of quality decisions by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.The multidimensional understanding and grounding of human dignity has been analyzed by the Federal Constitutional Court ofGermany, which considers the human dignity as a fundamental right. It is also noted that the use of such practices is a consequence of the globalization approach to the constitutional interpretation.Primarily, the human dignity accomplishes the function of restricting the legislator in matters relating to the protection of the absolutelyuntouchable sphere.A conclusion was drawn that all acts of the state must comply with it, this is a criterion for the country’s compliance with thesupremacy of law. Human dignity is the main objective of the constitutional state.

Introduction: the paper deals with the problem of civil rights protection when using genomic technologies in the field of artificial human reproduction. Breakthrough advances in medical and biological science set the state an important task of developing an effective system of legal guarantees aimed at ensuring a fair balance of interests of the parties to the relevant relationship and third parties, protecting the rights and interests of an individual, preventing human biotechnological engineering for the purposes of eugenic practice, etc. According to the author, special attention should be paid to the problem of protecting the rights of the child when using genomic technologies, including preimplantation genetic testing. Purpose: to solve the problem of developing the conceptual foundations of civil rights protection under civil law when using genomic technologies in the field of artificial human reproduction, which involves researching the grounds and peculiarities of applying methods of civil rights protection when using genomic technologies, in particular the technology of preimplantation genetic testing, which will make it possible to productively use these constructions; to create a uniform law enforcement practice in this area. Methods: general scientific, interdisciplinary methods common to the science of civil law and biomedicine (e.g. mathematical method, logical method) and methods specific to each of these sciences; logical, comparative legal, formal legal methods. Results: the author has studied the following: the available Russian and foreign regulatory framework and doctrinal sources on the protection of civil rights, especially the rights of the child, in the field of genomic technologies application; the implementation of the methods of protecting civil rights when using genomic technologies and, in particular, protecting the rights of the child, with attention focused on the specific features of the parties involved in legal relations in this area; the peculiarities of the legal nature of civil liability in the considered category of disputes. Conclusions: the paper provides conclusions reflecting the author's conceptual view of the problem of civil rights protection under civil law when using genomic technologies, in particular, the technology of preimplantation genetic testing. There were determined the directions for improving legislation in relation to persons born as a result of artificial reproduction with the use of genomic technologies; the limits of genomic technologies application in the field of reprogenetics and the conditions of liability in case of their violation were justified.

One scenario put forward by researchers, political commentators and journalists for the collapse of North Korea has been a People’s Power (or popular) rebellion. This paper analyses why no popular rebellion has occurred in the DPRK under Kim Jong Un. It challenges the assumption that popular rebellion would happen because of widespread anger caused by a greater awareness of superior economic conditions outside the DPRK. Using Jack Goldstone’s theoretical expla-nations for the outbreak of popular rebellion, and comparisons with the 1989 Romanian and 2010–11 Tunisian transitions, this paper argues that marketi-zation has led to a loosening of state ideological control and to an influx of infor-mation about conditions in the outside world. However, unlike the Tunisian transitions—in which a new information context shaped by social media, the Al-Jazeera network and an experience of protest helped create a sense of pan-Arab solidarity amongst Tunisians resisting their government—there has been no similar ideology unifying North Koreans against their regime. There is evidence of discontent in market unrest in the DPRK, although protests between 2011 and the present have mostly been in defense of the right of people to support themselves through private trade. North Koreans believe this right has been guaranteed, or at least tacitly condoned, by the Kim Jong Un government. There has not been any large-scale explosion of popular anger because the state has not attempted to crush market activities outright under Kim Jong Un. There are other reasons why no popular rebellion has occurred in the North. Unlike Tunisia, the DPRK lacks a dissident political elite capable of leading an opposition movement, and unlike Romania, the DPRK authorities have shown some flexibility in their anti-dissent strategies, taking a more tolerant approach to protests against economic issues. Reduced levels of violence during periods of unrest and an effective system of information control may have helped restrict the expansion of unrest beyond rural areas.

Patient Safety was the right of a patient who was receiving health care. A nurse was one of the health professionals in a hospital having a very important role in realizing Patient Safety. In realizing Patient Safety Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi had involved the role of the nurses. In carrying out their role the nurses could support the protection of the patient’s rights. The nurses performed health care by conducting six Patient Safety goals that were based on professional standards, service standards and codes of conduct so that the Patient Safety would be realized.This research applied a socio-legal approach to having analytical-descriptive specifications. The data used were primary and secondary those were gathered by field and literature studies. The field study was conducted by having interviews to, among others, the Director of Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi, Head of Room and Chairman of Patient Safety Committee, nurses and patients. The data were then qualitatively analyzed.The arrangement of nurses’ role in implementing Patient Safety and the patient’s rights protection was based on the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945, Health Act, Hospital Act, Labor Act, and Nursing Act. These bases made the hospital obliged to implement Patient Safety. The regulations leading the hospital to provide Patient Safety were Health Minister’s Regulation Nr. 11 of 2017 on Patient Safety, Statute of Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi (Hospital ByLaws), Internal Nursing Staff ByLaws. In implementing Patient Safety Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi had established a committee of Patient Safety team consisting of the nurses that would implement six targets of Patient Safety. Actually, the Patient Safety implementation had been accomplished but it had not been optimally done because of several factors, namely juridical, social and technical factors. The supporting factors in influencing the implementation were, among others, the establishment of the Patient Safety team that had been well socialized whereas the inhibiting factors were limitedness of time and funds to train the nurses besides the operational procedure standard (OPS) that was still less understood. Lack of learning motivation among the nurses also appeared as an inhibiting factor in understanding Patient Safety implementation.

Decision Making Biases

Abstract As they say, money can’t buy happiness. However, the lack of it can make people’s lives much harder. From the moment we open our first bank account, we have to make lots of financial decisions in our life. Should I save some money or should I spend it? Is it a good idea to ask for a loan? How to invest my money? When we make such decisions, unfortunately we sometimes make mistakes, too. In this study, we selected seven common decision making biases - anchoring and adjustment, overconfidence, high optimism, the law of small numbers, framing effect, disposition effect and gambler’s fallacy – and tested them on the Hungarian population via an online survey. In the focus of our study was the question whether the presence of economic knowledge helps people make better decisions? The decision making biases found in literature mostly appeared in the sample as well. It proves that people do apply them when making decisions and in certain cases this could result in serious and costly errors. That’s why it would be absolutely important for people to learn about them, thus increasing their awareness and attention when making decisions. Furthermore, in our research we did find some connection between decisions and the knowledge of economics, people with some knowledge of economics opted for the better solution in bigger proportion
