Telework as a new form of employment has become particularly relevant with the advent of the COVID-19 restrictions. So far, telework has been used occasionally, and only a few employers and employees have resorted to this mode of work. Due to the COVID-19 situation, telework has become a reality, and at times it is the only possibility to work. Although telework is widely used, the legal regulation might not be apparent. The article explores the specific aspects of legal regulation regarding telework in Estonia.

Aim. To propose the development of a new form of informed voluntary consent, taking into account the legal regulation of medical secrecy. Methods. When performing the study, analytical method was used. The analysis of the mechanism of obtaining information about the patient was performed, including the study of a number of laws governing the transfer of information to the third parties without the patient's consent. Results. It was found that the patient's relatives can not be provided with information about the course of the disease and its treatment, unless the patient has previously signed a voluntary consent to transfer the information. The basis for such refusal is Article 13 of Federal Law No. 323-FZ issued on November 21, 2011 (as amended on July 29, 2017) «On the Fundamentals of Health protection of Citizens in the Russian Federation», which establishes the conditions under which information about patient's health can be transferred. This article examines the problem of violation in the field of disclosure of medical secrets, as well as the rights of patient's close relatives to obtain information about his or her state of health. The need to refine the mechanisms of obtaining information, which is a medical secret, is revealed and justified. Conclusion. Based on the review of laws regulating the procedure of information transfer, the authors propose the development of a new form of consent for disclosure of the patient's information about his state of health, which must necessarily be provided to the patient when contacting a medical organization, which in the future will significantly simplify the legal doctor-patient relationships.

Abstract The existing legal regulation of the Slovak Republic allowed small and medium–sized enterprises, which form a basis for the business environment, not only in Slovakia but also in economically advanced countries, to have a legal form of any of the four types of commercial companies or cooperatives. According to the Concept for Supporting Start–ups and Start–up Ecosystem in the Slovak Republic, for the optimal engagement of investors and start–up development in the Slovak Republic, it is most effective to introduce a new form of capital commercial company that will allow for a flexible set–up of property relationships, investors’ entry and exit from the investment. The paper deals with the issue of special regulation of private law, company law. It points out some of the changes introduced to the regulation of commercial companies by introducing a new type of capital company, a simple joint–stock company and highlights possible problems in application. The new form of a capital commercial company was established by an amendment to the Commercial Code, Act no. 389/2015 Coll., which entered into force on January 1st, 2017. The purpose of the new form of a commercial company, as stated in the explanatory memorandum, is to ensure the legal form of a legal entity, which would be a complex and, at the same time, simple solution for risky investment in the form of commercial companies, especially investments to start–ups. To what extent the new form of a commercial company will meet the expectations of investors, will only be proved after its practical implementation and after the expression of the investors' interest in engaging in such form of company.

Prostitution as a social phenomenon has been present in different forms and shapes of manifestation for centuries, adapting itself to various societal reactions that attempted to control it or eradicate it. Prostitution is present in the society regardless of a particular social class, nationality/ethnicity or territory, and therefore, different states apply different measures and regimes to repress or control this type of conduct. The notions on which the prohibitionist regime of prostitution is based prevail among the scholars, regarding prostitution as a form of social anomaly and immoral, deviant behavior given that the sexual practices of two people come down to commodity-money relations. The main subject of this paper is the legal regulation of prostitution in the Re-public of Serbia, as well as the analysis of legal regimes that regulate prostitution in the comparative law. In 2016, in the legislation of the Republic of Serbia, the law on public order and peace brought a novelty when it comes to regulating prostitution by adding a new form of action of committing the violation. The law now also prescribes the sanctioning of persons who use this type of sexual services.

Abstract Enterprise mortgage is a new form of commercial charge applicable in the law of Lithuania since 1 July 2012. An enterprise mortgage as set out in the national law is distinct by its object, i.e. that an enterprise mortgage allows charging an enterprise as a whole, as an immovable property item; by the debtor’s (grantor’s) right to use the mortgaged assets in the ordinary course of business by transferring them to third persons free from encumbrance; also by the opportunity for the enterprise mortgagee to enfroce his rights by special method of enforcement: the enterprise purchase and sale. As a result of its wide scope, embracing both the existing and future assets of the debtor, as well as due to the absolute priority granted to the mortgagee to get all proceeds from the sale of the charged property, enterprise mortgage affects not only the debtor but also other creditors of the debtor (grantor). The method of minimum regulation for enterprise mortgage chosen in the law leaves a number of open questions for practical and doctrinal development. The article presents an analysis of the content of object of enterprise mortgage, explores the impact of enterprise mortgage on the satisfaction of claims of other creditors of the debtor (grantor) both in enforcement and insolvency proceedings, the rationale behind absolute priority of the enterprise mortgagee, effectiveness of the enterprise purchase, and sale as a method of enforcement of enterprise mortgagee’s rights. The article also analyses the relevance and adequacy of the existing legal regulation.

Platelet adhesion initiates platelet aggregation and is an important component of the hemostatic process. Since the development of a new form of collagen as a topical hemostatic agent is of both basic and clinical interest, an ultrastructural and hematologic study of the interaction of platelets with the microcrystalline collagen preparation was undertaken.In this study, whole blood anticoagulated with EDTA was used in order to inhibit aggregation and permit study of platelet adhesion to collagen as an isolated event. The microcrystalline collagen was prepared from bovine dermal corium; milling was with sharp blades. The preparation consists of partial hydrochloric acid amine collagen salts and retains much of the fibrillar morphology of native collagen.

Tropomyosin paracrystals have been used extensively as test specimens and magnification standards due to their clear periodic banding patterns. The paracrystal type discovered by Ohtsuki1 has been of particular interest as a test of unstained specimens because of alternating bands that differ by 50% in mass thickness. While producing specimens of this type, we came across a new paracrystal form. Since this new form displays aligned tropomyosin molecules without the overlaps that are characteristic of the Ohtsuki-type paracrystal, it presents a staining pattern that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of the molecule.
