The article analyzes the complex state of the modern legislative regulation of quality and product safety issues in the context of ensuring consumers’ rights to the proper quality of goods (works, services). It is stated that in view of the variety of different properties that make up the notion of quality, the most important are the defects, which are capable of damaging the life, health, or property of the consumer, that is, the defects, which indicate that the goods are dangerous. The safety of goods works, and services as a legal category are of particular importance and is one of the functions of the state to ensure public safety. State measures of influence on manufacturers and sellers of goods, persons who perform work and provide services should be aimed at ensuring the protection of fundamental civil rights. In most cases, these are imperative requirements for safety, which are approved by special legal acts, as well as measures of state supervision and control to ensure the safety of manufactured goods, works, and services. The legislator, when defining security, uses the term “safety of goods (works, services)”, but it would be advisable to carry out graduation of these concepts since the safety of goods is a state of goods that allows it to be sold, used, stored, transported, disposed of without harm for life, health, the property of the consumer and the environment in normal conditions, and the safety of works and services is the quality of protection of the legal rights of the consumer in carrying out the activities of persons who perform work and provide services, danger to life, health, the property should not manifest itself either in their implementation and providing or later. It is noted that quality requirements should be made mandatory when designing production specifications. It is stated that in order to ensure the effectiveness of legal regulation, the safety of a product, work, or service must be considered as a full-fledged property within the legal notion of quality. It is concluded that product safety is an integral feature of any product, work, and service, acting as an integral element of the quality category. Lack of safety features indicates that the product is of poor quality. Keywords: quality, safety, proper quality, improper quality, specifications, consumers.

The article analyzes the implementation of the principle of equality in the constitutional legal proceedings of Ukraine nowadays. It has been established that this principle is reflected in the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine: 1) equality of citizens before the law, which does not exclude differentiation of legal regulation, is guaranteed by the prohibition of «negative discrimination» and is not absolute in scope; 2) equality of everyone (i.e. citizens of Ukraine, foreigners, stateless persons) before the court, including equality of all participants of the judicial process; 3) equality of citizens in duties, which means their equal subordination to the laws of Ukraine; 4) equality (equal significance) of rights and freedoms, the manifestation of which is the equality of material and procedural rights, the equality of positive and negative rights. On the basis of the analysis of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, a number of «ontological factors» that determine the principle of equality and are considered methodologically important for legal characterization, have been identified. The first of the proposed factors is the sphere of social life, i.e. the part of the public space that has become «discriminatorily vulnerable», and in light of this the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in respect of the principle of equality in the sphere of realization of electoral rights, labor rights, property rights etc. have been systematized. The second factor can be considered the peculiarities (nature) of legal rights that are «in the area of discriminatory risk», which affects the functions of certain legal means of ensuring equality, in particular, the functions of the so-called legislative qualifications. A third reviewed factor is the relationship between human and civil rights. The dependence of the content and scope of the principle of equality on the joint realization of the right to education and the right to free development of one’s personality; the right to housing and freedom of movement and free choice of place of residence. The fourth factor of the substantive content of the principle of equality is the criteria of differentiation of legal regulation, namely, «appropriateness» (economic, political, social), «justifiability in a democratic society» and «relevance». The fifth factor is associated with the specificity of guarantees of ensuring the principle under consideration, among which — «accessibility», «free-of-charge» basis of education and health care. As the sixth factor, the correlation of the principle of equality with other principles of law, in particular, with the principles of justice, freedom, presumption of innocence and inadmissibility to hold a person responsible for refusing to testify against him/her, has been substantiated. Keywords: rule of law, legal principles, human rights and freedoms, The Constitutional Court of Ukraine, principle of equality.

Introduction: with the development of the digital economy, the sphere of non-cash payments reaches its peak value. This legal institution is particularly important in connection with the goal set in Russia’s strategic documents to improve the quality of non-cash payments and bring them to a new, technologically advanced level. The good legal regulation of certain legal issues in this regard is one of the most urgent tasks of the modern state. In this regard, the author aims to study an important element of the system of non-cash payments –electronic money – and determine its place in the civil rights system. Methods: the methodological framework for this research is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the comparative legal method, as well as the methods of systematicity and analysis. Results: the author’s well-founded position is based on the analysis of the legislation and opinions of the scientists expressed in the competent scientific community on the issue of recognizing electronic money as an object of civil rights and, accordingly, assigning it to a certain category of objects named in Article 128 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Conclusions: the study proved that the lack of full understanding of the legal nature of electronic money was connected with the unresolved issue of its belonging to the objects of civil rights, in whose connection it substantiated the belonging of electronic money to the rights of obligation to claim to be included in Article 128 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation as an object of civil rights.

Six Sigma Approach

Purpose Success and business reputation depend upon the quality of products where product quality depends upon the capability of a process, yield value and sigma score, etc. Poor quality of ceiling fan and mass rejection from quality check resulted in an alarming amount of cost for rework. As a result, the fulfillment of the production target was getting difficult day by day. The main purpose of this research is to identify the crucial causes for humming noise of ceiling fans and control it to a tolerable level so that maximum quality can be achieved. Design/methodology/approach The poor quality of ceiling fans was determined from the Pareto analysis of the define, measure, analyze, improve and control model which was humming noise during running and further actions were undertaken regarding the reduction of the humming noise. Project charter was formed before initiating the measure phase to study the suppliers, inputs, processes, outputs and customers diagram with process parameters and existing noise data were collected from random samples to determine the rolled throughput yield (94.95% existing) and existing sigma score which value of 3.14 and also the poor value (1.05) of process potential index implied that the process condition was below standard (<1.33) and need to be improved badly. Then root causes analysis and relationship diagram was prepared to identify the possible causes and with the design of experiments and correlation analysis, it was clear that the air gap between the stator and rotor was the main culprit behind the humming noise. Findings The minimum value of air gap was determined from boxplot analysis which was 0.2 mm–0.225 mm and the corresponding mean, the minimum and maximum value of sound level in dB (37.5–40.3 dB) for 0.225 mm air gap with the watt consumption (83 w) from the hypothesis test for the corresponding air gap. Finally, the updated sigma score and process capability analysis were performed with control charts to show the comparison after applying the DMAIC-six sigma methodology. The final sigma score was 5.1 which indicates a significant improvement of the process with the capability of saving US$23,438/year caused by the poor quality of ceiling fans. Practical implications Only quantitative values of the causes behind the humming noise were possible to identify. Other trivial many causes elimination might improve the sigma score closer to 6.00. The final sigma score that was achieved from this research was sustainable. Originality/value A structural approach with proper data analysis and application of various tools to detect the actual cause behind the humming noise of ceiling fans with numerical value has not been found in any literature. This research study can be a valuable asset for ceiling fan mass producers.

Today, the European vector of our country’s development and the strategy of economic partnership with the EU pose certain challenges for our state. Signing the EU Association Agreement made an important impact on the changes in Ukrainian legislation concerning harmonization of laws and rules in economics. Providing the proper quality of agricultural products remains an important task. It requires improving the organizational and legal support in changing accents in legal regulation: giving manufacturers more freedom in economic issues instead of administering directly. The above-mentioned Agreement gave a good boost to create the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, which, in turn allowed merging three state organizations to start monitoring food safety and quality “from field to fork.” Especially important are the Requirements to the Development, Introduction, and Usage of Standing Procedures based on the HACCP system principles. Today, HACCP-based certification of standing procedures is not obligatory, unlike the presence of Prerequisite Programmes of HACCP, which is obligatory. A Prerequisite Programme must cover 13 processes: from planning the manufacturing, auxiliary, and staff facilities in order to avoid cross-contamination to marking finished products. A number of requirements must be met by each of these processes in particular. The authors of this article have analysed the legislation changes and the latest publications about a number of Ukrainian food enterprises that have introduced the HACCP principles. This analysis has allowed concluding that in these enterprises, this process has caused some changes in their manufacturing technologies and management systems. Groups of factors influencing the products’ quality have been outlined. The importance of the human element at various stages of quality formation and control has been emphasized. The existing systems of quality and safety management in food industries have been analysed in detail.

In the paper are discussed the likely causes of the collapse and the temporary safety features adopted to secure a collapsed portion of the Historic Walls of the city of Pistoia (Italy). The walls of medieval origin, affected by various subsequent modifications and alterations, have been subjected to a sudden collapse, after a period of heavy rain, for a length of about 25 meters. Hereby are described the probable causes of the collapse, due to a poor quality of the walls (external façades with external layer made up of river pebbles and inner filling material in-coherent), height of building is not modest (approximately eleven meters), a significant differential in height between the two faces (about four meters) and a not unlikely rotation of the base. It is proposed a technique of temporary reinforcement with a system of steel tie-beams and braces with a view to the work of reconstruction of the partially collapsed and consolidation of the lateral parts of wall.

The Impact

Abstract Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel, high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is the method of choice for genome-wide identification of DNA segments bound by specific transcription factors or in chromatin with particular histone modifications. However, the quality of ChIP-seq datasets varies widely, with a substantial fraction being of intermediate to poor quality. Thus, it is important to discern and control the factors that contribute to variation in ChIP-seq. In this study, we focused on sonication, a user-controlled variable, to produce sheared chromatin. We systematically varied the amount of shearing of fixed chromatin from a mouse erythroid cell line, carefully measuring the distribution of resultant fragment lengths prior to ChIP-seq. This systematic study was complemented with a retrospective analysis of additional experiments. We found that the level of sonication had a pronounced impact on the quality of ChIP-seq signals. Over-sonication consistently reduced quality, while the impact of under-sonication differed among transcription factors, with no impact on sites bound by CTCF but frequently leading to the loss of sites occupied by TAL1 or bound by POL2. The bound sites not observed in low quality datasets were inferred to be a mix of both direct and indirect binding. We leveraged these findings to produce a set of CTCF ChIP-seq datasets in rare, primary hematopoietic progenitor cells. Our observation that the amount of chromatin sonication is a key variable in success of ChIP-seq experiments indicates that monitoring the level of sonication can improve ChIP-seq quality and reproducibility and facilitate ChIP-seq in rare cell types.

Introduction. The article deals with problematic issues concerning the quality of audit services. Globalization of economic relations, creating additional advantages for market participants, carries a number of risks. That is why more and more people represent different segments of society, making decisions based on information that they themselves can`t perceive and control in a timely and correct manner; seek independent auditors to assess the reliability of such information. Purpose. The purpose of scientific research is theoretical substantiation and development of methodological recommendations for improving the quality of audit services. Results. To achieve the goal, the concept of the quality of audit services has been investigated, as well as the comparison of the two concepts of "quality of audit services" and "quality of financial reporting", since the main information product of the audit is financial statements. The necessity of users of financial reporting and their interests in qualitative audit services is considered, as well as the scheme of the model of the system of internal quality control of audit activity, which can be represented by two components: internal structure and external environment. Realization of the presented model in practice consists in developing and documenting the principles and procedures for auditing the quality of the audit, their continuous analysis, evaluation and corrective actions. Three levels of quality control of audit services and regulatory legal regulation of audit activity are also considered. The necessity of improvement of theoretical and practical aspects of the quality of audit services is substantiated.

This article is devoted to the disclosure of the key legislative problems in the implementation of the legal rights of certain categories of citizens – patients with traumatic pathology in obtaining qualified medical care. The choice of the category of patients in this work is not accidental and is due to the fact that today traumatism is one of the main causes of mortality. Disability associated with the consequences of traumatic injuries ranks third in the overall structure of the causes of persistent disability in the Russian Federation and is one of the most important indicators characterizing the quality of medical care to this population. The quality of medical care provided to the population, guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is affected by the observance and implementation of the rights of patients enshrined in the Federal law «on the basis of public health protection», first of all, the right to access to the required medical care. As a result of the study of this problem, a number of shortcomings of the current legal regulation of certain areas of domestic health care have been identified, which in our opinion significantly reduces the effectiveness of the state policy in the field of health protection of the population of Russia, including in ensuring the implementation of effective medical care for injuries, especially in terms of medical rehabilitation at the post-hospital stage of medical care. The methodological basis of this work was a set of methods of scientific knowledge, social processes and facts, dialectical method of knowledge, involving the study of legal and social phenomena, the method of system analysis, the method of analysis of literary, including st atistical data.
