The market relations based on competition laws established during the last quarter of the century and the accumulated experience inevitably require the elaboration of new development plans and the adjustment of the existing legal regulation. The introduction of some exceptions in the laws stipulates specific further “recalibration” of the basic as well as special regulation. The Energy Strategy of Russia until 2035 defining the aims, priorities and areas of the development of the power industry of the Russian Federation emphasizes the need for a structural diversification within which the significance of liquefied natural gas will be raised, the carbon-based power industry will be supplemented with the non-carbon-based one, the decentralized power supply will be added to the centralized one. The discussed plans of the competition development in Russia are still not widespread beyond the Strategy. The review of the list of natural monopolies in the power industry makes it obvious that their current essential reformation aiming at demonopolization is highly improbable due to their technical and economic characteristics. Thus, it appears that in the near future, taking into account the established technical and economic conditions in which natural monopolies exist, the adjustment of their operations in terms of securing market conditions can be connected with the adjustment of the regulation of the tariff setting mechanism and the legal “localization” of the non-discrimination principle in relation to the operations of specific natural monopolies.

Abstract A python package, called Tomotok, focused on performing tomographic inversion of tokamak plasma radiation is being developed at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It aims at providing multiple inversion algorithms with an user friendly interface. In order to enable and ease performing tomographic inversion on different devices worldwide, it is planned to publish this software as open source in the near future. In this contribution, the package structure allowing an easy implementation of various tokamak and diagnostic geometries is described and an overview of the package contents is given. Apart from inversion methods, overview of Tomotok auxiliary content is given. The package provides tools for creating simple synthetic diagnostic system. These can be used for testing and benchmarking the code. This includes tools for building geometry matrices that describe the view of detectors using single line of sight approximation and artificial data generators capable of creating simple or hollow Gaussian profiles. The implemented inversion methods cover the minimum Fisher regularisation, biorthogonal decomposition and linear algebraic methods. The implementation of each method is explained, example results obtained by inverting phantom models are presented and discussed. The computation speed of implemented algorithms is benchmarked and compared.

Introduction. In modern Russian society with high rates of development of market relations, digitalization of the main spheres of life, popularization of the ideas of self-organization and self-regulation, legal uncertainty acts as a bipolar phenomenon, which is not only a consequence of law-making errors, but an effective technical and legal way of presenting regulations. Theoretical analysis. The historical analysis of the formation and development of ideas of certainty and uncertainty in jurisprudence showed that these categories are considered as universal phenomena characteristic of any matter. It was established that absolute certainty is unattainable and not always in demand, while legal uncertainty is inherent in the very nature of law. Еmpirical analysis. It was revealed that the need to ensure mobility and flexibility of legal regulation imposes the task of a reasonable use of legal uncertainty as a technical and legal way of presenting law on the law-making subject, which is reflected in the current legislation. Results. Legal uncertainty is an objective and inevitable phenomenon, and the total regulation of social relations is not always justified. The law is being improved on the basis of the principle of transition from the casuistic to the abstract, which proves its universality.

The article is devoted to the study of the problems and the role of digitalization in increasing the efficiency of the functions of the executive branch, the possibility of digitalizing the provision of traffic police services. The author considers the domestic and foreign experience in the implementation of powers for the provision of public services, and also investigates the sources of the regulatory framework for the provision of public services in electronic form. Particular attention is paid to the large-scale transformation of the provision of public services into electronic form. The article indicates the total number of the provision of electronic services by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, its divisions, the prospect of the development of the provision of electronic services in the near future is noted: the transition from the provision of separate administrative procedures to the provision of a complete (complex) public service, specific regulatory provisions (steps)are indicated. It is concluded that the transition to an exclusively electronic provision of all services at this stage of development of legal regulation is impossible, as well as the inability of artificial intelligence to completely replace and eliminate the human factor in the provision of all public services in electronic form.

The article is devoted to the land and legal creativity of a member of the Commission for the Study of Customary Law of Ukraine, established in 1921 at the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, O.S. Dobrov, in particular the peculiarities of the introduction into the mechanism of legal regulation of the then land relations of local customs. As a positive point, the proposed expansion of the historical period of existence of domestic land law, starting from the XVI century. It is stated that modern Ukrainian representatives of legal science have overlooked this fact. A debatable point in the work of O.S. Dobrov is an insufficiently substantiated proposal to apply local customs in land law through the prism of their compliance with the principle of compliance with the Civil Code of compliance with the socio-economic purpose of any civil rights of citizens called to implement solely to develop productive forces. Attention is drawn to the insufficient elaboration of empirical material by the scientist, because the illogical substitution of the basic private law principle of formation of civil rights in order to satisfy private interests on the purely public law principle of achieving state interests ultimately leads to complete leveling of customary land law. Keywords: land law, local customs, customary land law norms, public interests, private interests

The development of the national scientific and technological potential, creation and application of advanced technologies in the power industry, including the technologies related to the use of renewable energy sources, are defined in the Energy Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation as the main tasks of ensuring technological independence and raising competitiveness of the fuel and energy complex. Renewable energy sources and energy storage units are referred to breakthrough technologies that may trigger structural and technological changes in the management and functioning of power systems and facilitate the transition of the power industry to a new technological basis (the so called “energy transition”). The above-mentioned strategic tasks of the further development of the power industry of the Russian Federation require financial support and due legal regulation. The paper brings forward proposals for the further development of the legal regulation of renewable energy sources on the legislative level enabling to fill in the gaps in the current legal regulation.

This chapter examines the degree of continuity and rupture between the colonial/post-colonial divide in Africa, and argues that the years between 1930 and the 1970s constitute a single, world historical period in which state-directed and managed plans for economic and social advancement were shared widely among colonial, national, and international organizations and states. It examines important shifts and breaks that occurred throughout the period, including barriers to implementing new development projects, massive strike actions, the view of development as a demand for post-colonial entitlements and rights, and how development became a part of the strategy for managing decolonization as a shared goal of both colonial officials and African nationalist leaders. It also discusses how both new national governments and international organizations like the World Bank sought to triumph where the colonizers had failed, including drafting ambitious development plans, launching large-scale mechanization schemes, and subsidizing the widespread use of artificial fertilizers.

A magyar szakképzés fejlődésének jelenkori történetére a szakképzés törvényi szintű szabályozása jelentős hatással van. Bár az 1993-ban elfogadott első magyar szakképzési törvény, építve a progresszív nemzetközi tapasztalatokra, különösen német szakképzési szabályozás elveire, jelentős előrelépést hozott, negyedszázadra visszatekintve a nemzetközi tendenciákkal való összevetés indokolt. Időközben a gazdaság lényegi átalakuláson ment át, tevékenységének szerkezete és tartalma is jelentősen megváltozott, illetve a nemzetközi környezet, a határok által egyre kevésbé korlátozható munkaerőpiac is lényeges hatással van a szakképzésre. A magyar társadalom, s különösen az iskoláztatás is jelentősen átalakult az elmúlt évtizedekben. Az európai integráció szervezeti és szabályozási hatásai is érdemi változásokat eredményeztek a nemzeti szakképzési szabályozásokban, ezért indokolt az ezekkel kapcsolatos tendenciákat is áttekinteni. E fejlődés számos ponton folyamatos korrekciókat igényelt, s ma is számos ellentmondással terhelt. Az elmúlt évtizedekben a politika egyre jelentősebb súllyal kezeli a szakképzést, azonban, s erre vállalkozik az írás, a szabályozás fejlődéstörténeti elemzése indokolt, s a mai feszültségekkel és feladatokkal való szembenézés, az új fejlesztési programok szempontjából időszerű.The legal regulation of VET bears a considerable influence on the current development history of Hungarian VET. Although the first Hungarian act on VET, which was passed in 1993 and was built on progressive international experiences, first of all the principles of the German VET regulations, brought about a considerable step forward, it is reasonable to have a look at the latest 25 years and make a comparison to the international trends. Meanwhile, the economy has undergone an essential transformation, its activity structure and content have considerably changed, and the international environment, the labour market less and less limited by borders, has had a strong influence on VET. The Hungarian society, and first of all schooling, has undergone a deep transformation, as well. Also, the organizational and regulatory effects arising from European integration have brought about deep changes in the national VET regulations, therefore it is reasonable to survey the connecting tendencies. This development required continuous corrections at several points, and is still burdened with many contradictions. During the latest years, politics has given more and more attention to VET, however, it is reasonable to make a development historical analyzation of the regulations – this is what this paper undertakes to do; it is timely to face the current tensions and tasks from the aspect of the new development programs
