This research is devoted to the disclosure of problematic issues related to the study of the legal nature of legal conflicts between subjects of medical legal relations, primarily to prevent the emergence of conflict situations, or to mitigate their consequences and suppress.Within the framework of this article, a theoretical and applied research was carried out to clarify the essence of the concept of «legal conflict», including in the context of medical activities, as well as the essence of such conflict situations and their specific features were analyzed. The position is argued according to which the occurrence of a legal conflict in the aspect of carrying out medical activities is the basis for protecting the rights of participants in medical legal relations, taking into account, first of all, that medical activity is inextricably linked with a sufficiently large number of potential grounds for patients to be dissatisfied with the provision of medical care, despite for continuous improvement of both the treatment method and the use of the latest treatment methods.To achieve this goal, the author applied methods characteristic of legal science. The study was carried out using the dialectical method of cognition of legal reality, provided an opportunity to analyze the essence of legal conflicts in the field of medical activity, while the use of the systemic-structural method made it possible to determine the general structure of the work, which contributed to the proper disclosure of the research objectives.Based on the study, the author comes to the conclusion that a legal conflict in the aspect of carrying out medical activities is a dynamic process, the existence of which implies the need to study the prerequisites for its occurrence, the essence of the conflict situation itself and the content of such a conflict, in order to prevent the possibility of their occurrence or mitigate their possible negative consequences.

Recent situations of States recovering from conflict show that foreign direct investment (FDI) act as a double-edged sword and are characterized by an inherent paradox. Indeed, on the one hand, post-conflict economic reconstruction and development requires and relies on FDI. On the other, rights granted to foreign investors before and during the post-conflict phase may result in a backlash for States recovering from conflict because rights granted to foreign investors have – besides the general tensions caused by such instruments – specific consequences in post-conflict situations due to the economic, security-related, social and demographic specificities of those situations. This article maps and charts the issues raised by FDI protection in post-conflict situations, and thus provides the context for the debate of the interaction between FDI regulation and post-conflict situation.

AbstractThis article addresses the issue of conflict situations caused by an out-of-date Land and Property Register (LPR) and the disadvantageous structure of rural areas in southern Poland. In this part of the country, holdings are very fragmented and scattered, made up of a large number of small surface area plots located far from the headquarters of the holding. The aim of the article is to present actions that can help improve rural spatial structure and validity of the land register. The authors have, therefore, analysed the problems that may result in both spatial and social conflicts. The following were analysed in particular: discrepancies between data in the LPR and the existing factual state, plots without access to public roads, property ownership structure, the necessity to regulate property boundaries, and problems with the procedure for taking land out of agricultural production. The article presents both positive and negative effects of the land consolidation and exchange process, modernisation of the Land and Property Register, and their impact on socio-spatial conflicts. Its results indicated that the land consolidation procedure and LPR modernisation have a significant impact on socio-spatial relations in rural areas. It has been found that despite the fact that both these activities may give rise to new disputes in addition to resolving conflicts, the overall balance is positive. It is because more positive aspects of these actions were found than negative consequences.

Abstract The Catholic Church – though in popular opinion it is sometimes treated as a stronghold of conservatism, traditionalism, suspicion of progress and novelty, it changed significantly in the second half of the 20th century and continues to change its attitudes, especially in terms of the use of social communication and attitude to the media mass. The Church’s growing openness to media relations and the use of a rich instrumentation of social communication has become one of the reasons for the growing popularity of market orientation among the clergy and active believers, which opens opportunities for the development of the concept of a specific sectoral marketing formula of church marketing. In this article the authors search for the causes of the progressive phenomenon of the marketization of religion, present examples of the activities of the Polish Catholic church, inscribed in the church marketing trend, as well as define the negative consequences resulting from its dissemination. The applied research method is based on the literature analysis and case studies analysis.

The article is devoted to the issues of conflict interaction in the “pupil – teacher” system in an educational institution. The purpose of the article is to consider the voiced problem through the prism of a socio-pedagogical approach, taking into account not only the state of society, but also the educational potential of the family, as well as the structure of the class team and the personal age characteristics of schoolchildren. Special attention has been paid to the negative side of the conflict, which affects the weak psyche of the pupil, as well as the mental health of the teacher, which ultimately worsens the psychological comfort at school and interferes the educational process. It has been shown that in conflict situation teacher`s behavior in most cases relates to such types of response as “repressive measures” and “ignoring the conflict”. In conflict situations in the “pupil – teacher” system, teachers use external suppression, as well as apply sanctions. Conflicts in the “pupil – teacher” system from the point of view of age characteristics of schoolchildren have been considered. The article is intended for employees of educational organizations and those interested in conflict issues.

In recent years India has been witnessing an upsurge of conflicts over myriad issues such as displacement related to development projects, legislative changes, claim over natural resources, environmental issues and the like. Though each conflict situation is unique and demands a detailed research exploration in its own right, the need for evolving a paradigm based on underlying commonalities and basic principles cannot be denied. Such a framework would facilitate not only the researchers, but also the policymakers, and has the potential to create pathways for conflict containment and resolution. Even a cursory perusal of the underlying dynamics of most conflicts at local, national or international levels indicates a contestation over limited resources that eventually transforms into contestations for power and identity. Many such conflicts often appear to undermine national security and are often construed as ‘anti-development’, ‘anti-establishment’ or even ‘anti-state’. The present paper posits that it is important to reveal the subtler processes of negotiation in a conflict situation, to understand conflict as a co-constructed social reality and to highlight the reciprocal impact made by the dynamics of such constructions on identities of the parties involved. Along with examining the role of identity dynamics in perpetuating conflicts, the paper argues for incorporating both identity and instrumental pathways in theorizing conflicts. Emphasising upon the role played by politicisation of identities in conflict situations, the paper proposes a theoretical model for deconstructing conflicts and working towards conflict resolution.

Introduction. The analysis of the nature, conditions and reasons for the occurrence and practice of resolving (preventing and settling) conflict of interest issues is not only an important applied, but also significant research problem. Situations related to conflict of interest issues, both in the public-state and private sectors, have given rise not only to special scientific research, but also to legislative regulation and managerial practice. A number of countries have adopted special laws on conflict of interest policy norms, established office of state commissioner for conflict of interest policy, and introduced rules regulating employee conflict of interest policy.Materials and methods. The source of the research is regulatory, theoretical, educational, scientific, journalistic works by domestic and foreign authors. The theoretical and methodological basis is the dialectical-materialistic approach to the analysis of the essence of social phenomena, the laws of their development, the features of legal regulation and the controlling effect on them. The research tools are classical: comparative legal analysis, formal logical, concrete historical and system-functional methods. The results of the study. The article presents the author’s interpretation of the of “conflict of interests” concept. Its essence is a conflict situation between public law obligations and individual’s interests, which provokes situations in which the interests of one person lead to potential or real harm to the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of others persons. Conclusion: the conflict of interests must be managed, which means that it is timely to identify, diagnose, objectively assess possible risks and negative consequences, take adequate organizational and legal measures to resolve the conflict situation. If a public servant does not serve, in accordance with his status and powers, the public and the state, but only cares about his/her own well-being, then such public employees must be dismissed from public office.Discussion and conclusion. Improving the mechanisms for identifying, qualifying, regulating the suppression and punishment of perpetrators, eliminating the negative consequences of breaching the conflict of interest policy are strategically important and rather difficult tasks that challenge not only the state, the law enforcement system and local authorities, but also business, civil society institutions and every citizen . Its solution requires systematic monitoring, comprehensive analysis, decisive and coordinated actions.

The interpretation of the evolutionary theory prevailing in sport, based on the approach that the strongest survive, varies with the rules inherent in the criminal world, forbidding to “take out” negative information about interrelationships, in this case, outside the team or group. Such traditionally established culture puts pressure on athletes to suffer from bullying and follow the “silence law”. In the long run, this turns into a precondition for unsafe environment for athletes, which, due to negative consequences for the individual, can be identified as threats to social sustainability at the individual level. Such a situation is also indirectly approved by the heads and coaches of organizations. The latter, who lack competencies to resolve conflict situations, are left to solve arising problems on their own and do not receive any support from the management of organizations. Therefore, the aim of this research is to reveal the factors determining the specificity, emergence, and development of bullying and harassment in sport as threats to social sustainability at the individual level. The research was conducted using a semi-structured interview method with eight coaches representing team, individual, and duel sport branches. Inductive content analysis served as the basis for the data analysis. Research results disclosed factors determining the specificity of emergence of bullying and harassment in sport and hindering the entrenchment of social sustainability in sport at the individual level. The results revealed the euphemisms distinguished by coaches, which, in sport, have a positive connotation, such as “combativeness” and “sports anger” instead of the term “aggression”. It was identified that coaches named aggressors as “harder players”, “confident players”, “active persons”, “players-torpedoes”, “emotional players”, and “competitive players”. Sports competition is justified in various forms. The emergence of bullying and harassment is grounded on “mastery differences”, it is stated that abusive actions are experienced by “physically weak” players, while physical actions used by athletes are called “mischief”; verbal actions are “raillery”. In addition, inadequate preparation of Lithuanian coaches to respond to bullying and harassment in their trained teams or groups on time and appropriately was identified. It turned out that sports organizations are not particularly interested in organizing trainings for prevention of destructive interrelations and intervention. Such kind of in-service training is left to the coach’s initiative.
