The article's relevance is because the Judicial Protection Service is a relatively new institution, the creation of which was completed last year. However, analogs of such a service operate successfully in different countries (in particular, the United States, Canada). Effective maintenance of law and order during the court hearing is one of the main elements of the reform processes of the judicial system of Ukraine, which must directly meet European standards. Because of this, the issue of research of this institution in Ukraine and the possibility of implementing best practices in the functioning of its counterparts in foreign countries is relevant. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of the judicial protection service and its analogs in different countries. The object of the study is the public relations that arise in the field of security and independence of the judiciary. The subject of the study is the principles of functioning of the judicial protection service and its analogs. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general and unique methods of cognition, in particular: dialectical, historical, descriptive, methodology of scientific analysis, and generalization—comparative law, structural-functional and analytical. Analyzing the experience of foreign countries in organizing the activities of similar institutions of the Judicial Protection Service, it was emphasized the high level of trust of judges in such judicial protection services and the close cooperation of the latter with law enforcement agencies. The authors of the article also emphasize that the formation and operation of institutions as the Judicial Protection Service directly depend on financial support, organizational issues, and personnel policy.

AbstractThe interest in the experience of legislative solutions to problems connected with the design and development of legal institutions in environmental protection in foreign countries, at first glance, is not directly related to the study of the laws of functioning and development of this legal institution. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that such an interest appears as rather justified and even logical, if one is to proceed, firstly, from general ideas about the development of land legislation in the context of globalisation, and secondly, if one is to consider the desire of countries to more widely implement global and European standards of environmental policies and rights and approaches to environmental protection in general. The purpose of this article is determined by the identification the main problems of land protection legislation in the field of and form on their basis the effective system of environmental regulation, combining administrative and legislative instruments with economic, regulatory and market mechanisms. Analysis of international legal acts is used as the leading research method. It was determined that the positive experience in foreign countries related to the legal regulation of relations in legal protection of the environment allows transferring the theoretical ideas about the legal structures existing in other countries to the practical plane, which, in turn, allow to optimally regulate the appropriate circle of public relations, taking into consideration the relevant historical traditions, the internal structure of national legislation, the features of the development of environmental legislation of the respective country. The concept of protecting land from pollution by hazardous substances and ways of improving and adapting legislation in the field of waste management were proposed. The practical significance of the study is determined by the need to integrate the land legislation industry into national environmental legislation.

The article reveals the main aspects of the independence of professional judges as a constitutional basis of their legal status. It is established that the main aspects of the independence of judges as the constitutional basis of their legal status in Ukraine are regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges», the Law of Ukraine «On the High Council of Justice», the Law of Ukraine «On Ensuring the Right to a Fair Court», the Law of Ukraine «On Restoring Confidence in the Judiciary in Ukraine», the Law of Ukraine «On Purification of Power». It is determined that the independence of the judiciary is guaranteed by the state and acts as a constitutional and legal basis for the functioning and activity of the judiciary. It was found that the independence of judges is a key element of the professional status of judges. It has been determined that a judge, in administering justice, must be independent of influence, pressure or interference from unlawful sources. It was noted that state authorities and local self-government bodies, as well as their officials and officials, individuals and legal entities, are obliged to respect the independence of judges, as well as not to encroach on it. It has been established that a judge in the context of administering justice is independent, therefore, taking measures to ensure the independence of judges is one of the main responsibilities of the High Council of Justice. It has been established that every year the number of violations by offenders on the independence of judges in the context of their administration of justice is increasing. It was determined that most often encroachment on the independence of judges in Ukraine occurs on the part of law enforcement agencies, people's deputies, deputies of local councils, other representatives of state authorities and local self-government bodies, lawyers, as well as in cases of violation of law and order in a court session, disruption of court hearings, blocking courts, making various threats to judges, committing physical pressure on judges or members of their families, damaging their property, as well as the property of courts, disseminating inaccurate information in relation to judges. It was found that the low level of guarantees for the independence of judges has an indirect effect on reducing the possibilities of exercising the right to exercise judicial protection. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the legal foundations of the procedure for the selection and appointment of professional judges in the context of constitutional and legal requirements for candidates.

It has been stated that the current Labor Code of Ukraine is outdated, the content of some of its provisions does not correspond to modern economic and social realities. Besides, a significant number of problematic issues remain unresolved, for example in regard to ensuring the guarantees of competitiveness of individual employees, in particular those who work in public authorities (in our case – law enforcement agencies), where one of the most important is certainly the National Police of Ukraine. It has been proved that competitiveness is a characteristic of the modern labor market. There are subjective and objective factors that affect the competitiveness of the profession of the National Police officer at the labor market. The following key conclusions have been formulated regarding the essence of the category of “competitiveness” in the context of the issues mentioned in the article: 1) competitiveness of an employee of the National Police of Ukraine is a set of professional characteristics of an employee that characterize his ability to effectively perform the tasks and responsibilities assigned to him to protect law and order and combat offenses, the realization of the relevant rights; 2) the competitiveness of the profession is a set of working conditions that makes this profession more attractive and prestigious among other professions at the labor market; 3) a competitive employee is an employee who, by his professional and moral and business qualities, best meets the requirements of the vacant position and has certain advantages over other employees; 4) competitive profession is a profession that is the most attractive among other professions at the labor market of Ukraine. It has been generalized that the competitiveness of employees may depend on various objective and subjective factors. Objective ones include certain personal qualities of a person of physical and moral nature (age, intellectual development, gender, psycho-physiological state, communication skills, stress resistance, as well as other personal data that characterize the moral and physical stability of employees). In our opinion, subjective factors include the availability of higher specialized education, a high level of efficiency, initiative, continuous professional development, etc.

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to analyze world experience and international practice of regulating natural lighting at schools and innovative solutions in this field. Results and discussions. The article presents the list of regulations of European countries regarding standard requirements for daylight and artificial lighting in residential and public buildings. The Daylight Factor (DF), which is the equivalent of the Russian natural illumination coefficient, varies from 0.8 to 5 per cent in different countries. The article describes lighting and insolation requirements for the daylight factor, light coefficient, combined discomfort indicator, light transmission coefficient, and light flux distribution in residential and public buildings, including comprehensive schools, in such countries as the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Poland, USA, Sweden, Cyprus, Netherlands, and Japan. The list of rated parameters of daylight both in the Russian Federation and in foreign countries is identical. At the same time, the requirements for natural lighting (DF, duration of insolation) in European standards are more stringent. The impact of daylight on schoolchildren’s health and performance was the subject of research in Sweden and the United States. Their authors concluded that studying in classrooms without daylight could disrupt the basic hormonal background, affect the ability of children to concentrate attention and interact with each other, influence growth and the number of days missed due to illness. Сonclusions. The analysis of international data proving the importance of daylight in forming optimal conditions for education and eyesight of schoolchildren and preventing health disorders enabled us to conclude on the necessity to launch scientific research into mathematical models of health risks for schoolchildren.

The author has studied the content of normative and legal acts regulating public relations in the field of ensuring public security and order by the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU). The author has paid direct attention to theoretical bases of the concept of “public security” and “public order”. Relevant problems of ensuring public security and order by the NGU have been described; specific ways of eliminating legal and organizational problems of such provision have been suggested. It has been established that the problems of ensuring public security and order by the NGU have normative and legal and organizational nature. According to the author, the elimination of the described problems can be ensured by: the formation of a single standard for ensuring public security and order, in particular by means of a unified approach to assignment and, accordingly, implementation of measures in the field of ensuring public security and order (in the present circumstances, it is quite justified to consider the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police” as the basis for the activities of law enforcement agencies in the field of keeping public security and order). The consequences should be the delineation of the NGU’s area of competence for ensuring public security and order, and eliminating contradictions between the laws of Ukraine “On the National Guard of Ukraine” and “On the National Police” and amending administrative and tort legislation and the Law of Ukraine “On the National Guard of Ukraine”. To address organizational issues, it is advisable to strengthen the legal training of the NGU military personnel, in particular in the field of administrative law and procedure, tactical and communicative training; to provide the necessary logistics, including the equipment of the NGU employees, with the means of external identification (badges indicating the special token number).

A multidimensional analysis of the state of Russian studies on the education issues over 1993–2016 was carried out based on the materials of the data contained in the Web of Science (SSCI, A & HCI and SCI-E databases). There were determined the dynamics and trends of a number of relevant indicators, such as the number of Russian publications by year, the share of these publications in the global flow of publications on education issues, the dynamics of the share of publications made in co-authorship with foreign colleagues, etc. A number of distributions of Russian publications on educational issues was compiled and analyzed: by journals, by Russian regions and cities, by organizations and authors of the publications. It was found that most of these distributions were characterized by a high level of non-uniformity. A list of journals (125 titles) in which Russian works on education issues had been published was compiled. Russian organizations (308) and domestic researchers (about two thousand) engaged in studying the issues of education were identified. It was discovered that more than 200 organizations and about 400 academicians from 60 foreign countries had participated in Russian studies on the education issues.

Starting in the late 1970s, a moral panic concerning child kidnapping and exploitation gripped the United States. For many Americans, a series of high-profile cases of missing and murdered children, publicized through an emergent twenty-four-hour news cycle, signaled a “national epidemic” of child abductions perpetrated by strangers. Some observers insisted that fifty thousand or more children fell victim to stranger kidnappings in any given year. (The actual figure was and remains about one hundred.) Stranger Danger demonstrates how racialized and sexualized fears of stranger abduction—stoked by the news media, politicians from across the partisan divide, bereaved parents, and the business sector—helped to underwrite broader transformations in US political culture and political economy. Specifically, the child kidnapping scare further legitimated a bipartisan investment in “family values” and “law and order,” thereby enabling the development and expansion of sex offender registries, AMBER Alerts, and other mechanisms designed to safeguard young Americans and their families from “stranger danger”—and to punish the strangers who supposedly threatened them.
