Based on the analysis of Russian and foreign literary sources, the definition of the concept of polymorbidity is given, its classification, information on prevalence, measurement methods and practical significance are given. It is emphasized that at present in the literature the concepts of polymorbidity, comorbidity, multimorbidity coexist, while there is no universally accepted definition of them. This uncertainty is historically conditioned and is associated with the use of these concepts by various scientific schools. In most modern literary sources, polymorbidity (multimorbidity) refers to a combination of two or more chronic diseases in one patient. At present, a considerable number of different methods of measuring polymorbidity are used, which have their own advantages and disadvantages, and a universal method has not been developed. The most convenient for assessing polymorbidity is currently recognized polymorbidity index Charlson. Due to the lack of unified approaches to the measurement of polymorbidity, as well as taking into account the fact that studies are conducted in different population samples, the published figures for the prevalence of polymorbidity vary considerably. Emphasis is placed on the fact that polymorbidity is a multifaceted problem that has not only clinical but also economic and social importance, which requires a further in-depth study.

Process Observation

In today's world, one of the indicators of the level of development of democracy is the level of organization and exercise of public control over public authorities. It should be noted that in Ukraine there is no special law, which establishes the law and determines the mechanism of exercising civil control over the activities of representative authorities, which significantly complicates the procedure for its implementation. Scholars consider the legal basis of public control in the context of legislative and regulatory acts, pointing out their imperfection and expediency of making changes. At the same time, there is no definition of public control in legal documents, and accordingly, the methodology of public control is not defined and therefore there are no methods of its implementation. In scientific and applied publications on the organization of public control of representative authorities in the context of decentralization, it is considered as a component of public participation. The aim of the article: to generalize and systematize foreign scientific and applied research on effective procedures for public control of representative authorities in comparison with the domestic practice. The object of research: implementation of the procedure for public control of representative authorities in foreign countries and in Ukraine. The research methodology: review of foreign and Ukrainian literary sources on the implementation of the procedure for public control of representative authorities in the world and in Ukrainian practice. The obtained results: an analysis of the procedures for public control of representative bodies of power in the countries of the world demonstrates the diversity of approaches to its implementation; forms of public control are enshrined in legal norms and are reflected in the legislation in the form of governmental documents, programs, strategies, standards, or are effectively used without governmental support through e-platforms, panels, etc. As for the Ukrainian scientists, there is no established opinion about the procedures for public control: some identify them with forms of control, others - with the conditions of its effectiveness, some authors place components (stages) of the control process (observation, evaluation, analysis, forecasting) as its methods. The practical significance: adoption of a special law will enable to define general principles of the procedure for public control of representative authorities, and a clear definition will make it possible to determine the nature and set of forms and methods for its implementation.

The purpose. In modern conditions, the task of improving systems for storing material stocks has significant scientific and practical significance. At the same time, the nature and degree of influence of the parameters of the incoming flow of goods on the required technical equipment of warehouses from the standpoint of logistics and a systematic approach have been insufficiently studied. The absence of a final solution to the problem of developing a universal methodology for determining rational technical and technological parameters of warehouses for packaged goods formulated the goal of the study, which is to determine the rational equipment of a warehouse complex on the basis of simulation modeling of the process of its functioning, formalized by a Petri net. Methodology. In the work, the authors present a methodology for formalizing the process of functioning of a transport and warehouse complex using a Petri net in the QPNet environment. The technique of technical and economic comparison of options for equipping a warehouse complex, which is based on the use of modified reduced costs, is presented. Results. The paper reviews the existing imitation models of warehouse complexes, identifies their advantages and disadvantages. On the basis of the analysis performed, a simulation system was determined for the development of a model of a warehouse complex. The article presents a universal method for determining the rational technical and technological parameters of warehouses for packaged goods using a simulation model of a warehouse, the technological process of which is represented by a Petri net. With the developed simulation model of the composition, a series of experiments were performed, differing in the operational conditions of operation, as a result of which a set of technical and operational indicators of the warehouse complex was obtained. The obtained indicators of the warehouse functioning became the basis for determining its rational technical equipment. The practical significance of the methodology presented in the work for constructing a universal model of a warehouse complex and a technical and economic assessment of the indicators of its functioning will make it possible to more accurately determine the rational number of technical means and technical equipment in the design of new or reconstruction of existing transport and warehouse complexes.

The subject of the study is the mechanism for determining the fiscal fee forthe main transportation of hydrocarbon goods as a resource concept. The purposeof this article is to justify the nature and prospects of using, instead of currentrent, hydrocarbon fiscal-main income as a fiscal payment, which is brought intothe state budget by operators of the main hydrocarbon-transport system as business entities for their transportation of hydrocarbons and products of their processing through main pipelines appropriate to the economic requirements. Theresearch methodology is determined by a combination of methods: a) cognition:legal analysis (study of the regulatory framework for the use of rent); b) justification: abstract logical analysis (definition of the concepts of hydrocarbon fiscalmain income); c) generalization (substantiation of conclusions and proposals).Results of work. In the process of analyzing the regulatory legal acts that regulate the use of current annuity as payment to the budget for the main transportation of hydrocarbons, it was established that it is not a tax in the interpretationof PKU, since the essence does not meet the official definition of tax, does notmeet the accepted definition of the concept of rent. The accepted nature andmechanism of paying rent for the transportation of hydrogen resources and associated revenues of the state and users of the main hydrogen transport systemand the unpromising nature of its use as a fiscal payment are analyzed. Conclusions.It is proposed that the state pay for the territorial pumping of hydrocarbon resources according to our triple principle as hydrocarbon fiscal-main income, whichcorresponds to its essence, and accordingly change the mechanism for calculatingand depositing funds to treasury accounts. Since the funds come to the revenueside of the state budget, that is, inherently belong to state revenue. The creationof such a mechanism needs certain studies, justifications and government decisions. The same applies to land use, since the quality indicators of soils, wherethe laid pipelines are territorially different. In addition, there is a process ofchanging land for its intended purpose, for the property. The fee for movinghydrocarbon resources should be calculated depending on the type of transport,including pipelines, for a set of indicators: quantity and quality of goods, time,main tariffs and distance of its movement. The amount may be adjusted usingfactors officially established by the CMU. Since the pipelines are located in territorial lands, part of this fee should be transferred to the territorial local budgets.Theoretically, the economic use of trunk pipelines should be considered as a typeof economic environmental management. Therefore, this type of government revenue should be determined by a set of indicators, as well as taking into account the economic interests of business entities authorized by the CMU. Thus, theimplementation of our proposed fiscal payment is relevant, has scientific noveltyand promising practical significance, therefore, for state recognition it is proposedto include it in the Tax Code of Ukraine.

The creation of the Guiding Principles on the Criminal Law of the RSFSR of 1919 is studied taking into account extremely complicated internal and external political situation in the country at the beginning of the twentieth century. Using the methods of analysis, synthesis, as well as comparative and historical method, the author determines the significance of the Guiding Principles in the law system of the young Soviet state. Some key norms of the document are examined. In particular, the definition of criminal law is analyzed and its advantages and disadvantages are identified. It is noted that the definition of a crime was formulated too broadly, and more significant steps in criminalization of different acts were made with the adoption of the RSFSR Criminal Code of 1922. It is indicated which persons were not punished according to the Guidelines. Attention is drawn to the way in which such a method of protection as necessary defense was set forth in this act. The Guiding Principles are not without certain disadvantages: for example, the institution of complicity is not sufficiently disclosed, there is lexical redundancy in the definition of the concept «planning the offence». However, the discrepancies between the main provisions covered in the Guidelines are explainable and excusable, taking into account the historical situation at the time of their adoption. The analyzed document became the basis for Russian criminal law, and some of its provisions are still relevant.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the validity of the Gender Dysphoria (GD) diagnoses in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR), to discuss different register-based definitions of GD and to investigate incidence trends. We collected data on all individuals with registered GD diagnoses between 2001 and 2016 as well as data on the coverage in the NPR. We regarded gender confirming medical intervention (GCMI) as one proxy for a clinically valid diagnosis and calculated the positive predictive value (PPV) for receiving GCMI for increasing number of registered GD diagnoses. We assessed crude and coverage-adjusted time trends of GD during 2004–2015 with a Poisson regression, using assigned sex and age as interaction terms. The PPV for receiving GCMI was 68% for ≥ 1 and 79% for ≥ 4 GD-diagnoses. The incidence of GD was on average 35% higher with the definition of ≥ 1 compared to the definition of ≥ 4 diagnoses. The incidence of GD, defined as ≥ 4 diagnoses increased significantly during the study period and mostly in the age categories 10–17 and 18–30 years, even after adjusting for register coverage. We concluded that the validity of a single ICD code denoting clinical GD in the Swedish NPR can be questioned. For future research, we propose to carefully weight the advantages and disadvantages of different register-based definitions according to the individual study’s needs, the time periods involved and the age-groups under study.

Consumer Autonomy

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision aids are increasingly employed by businesses to assist consumers’ decision-making. Personalized content based on consumers’ data brings benefits for both consumers and businesses, i.e., with regards to more relevant content. However, this practice simultaneously enables increased possibilities for exerting hidden interference and manipulation on consumers, reducing consumer autonomy. We argue that due to this, consumer autonomy represents a resource at the risk of depletion and requiring protection, due to its fundamental significance for a democratic society. By balancing advantages and disadvantages of increased influence by AI, this paper addresses an important research gap and explores the essential challenges related to the use of AI for consumers’ decision-making and autonomy, grounded in extant literature. We offer a constructive, rather than optimistic or pessimistic, outlook on AI. Hereunder, we present propositions suggesting how these problems may be alleviated, and how consumer autonomy may be protected. These propositions constitute the fundament for a framework regarding the development of sustainable AI, in the context of online decision-making. We argue that notions of transparency, complementarity, and privacy regulation are vital for increasing consumer autonomy and promoting sustainable AI. Lastly, the paper offers a definition of sustainable AI within the contextual boundaries of online decision-making. Altogether, we position this paper as a contribution to the discussion of development towards a more socially sustainable and ethical use of AI.
