The purpose of this article is to study the ontological and normative approaches to determining the elemental composition ofmunicipal legal policy. It is shown that the special and strategic role of municipal legal policy is determined and determined primarilyby its human dimension – it is characterized by direct anthropologization and personalization, because it arises at the junction of lawand society, law and man, individual and collective, private and public.It is pointed out that municipal legal policy is essentially a systematic, comprehensive and systematically grounded and formali -zed municipal strategy, which makes it possible to better understand the nature and content of local government and the axiological andexistential value of the territorial community. the human life cycle is carried out – and for the proper organization of such a policy theneed for strategic thinking, strategic planning is objectified – both for further development of territorial communities, through awarenessof the importance of forming a vision of future local development priorities and setting appropriate goals and objectives to achievethem , which includes determining the elemental composition of such a policy.It is proved that the definition of the elemental composition of municipal legal policy is possible in two ways: either by determiningthe elemental composition of policy as such, or by determining the elemental composition of the species characteristics of legalpolicy (state, legislative, etc.). It is argued that the definition of the elemental composition of municipal legal policy is of great importancenot only for determining the axiology of such policy, it has great praxeological potential, because it gives an idea of the structuraland technological characteristics of such policy, the impact of which may contribute to its formation, development , improvement, definition of strategic priorities in the process of its implementation.

Background: Since 2013, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of preprint servers. Little is known about the position of researchers, funders, research performing organisations and other stakeholders with respect to this fast-paced landscape. In this article, we explore the perceived benefits and challenges of preprint posting, alongside issues including infrastructure and financial sustainability. We also discuss the definition of a ‘preprint’ in different communities, and the impact this has on uptake. Methods: This study is based on 38 semi-structured interviews of key stakeholders, based on a purposive heterogeneous sampling approach and undertaken between October 2018 and January 2019. Interviewees were primarily drawn from biology, chemistry and psychology, where use of preprints is growing. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis to identify trends. Interview questions were designed based on Innovation Diffusion Theory, which was also used to interpret our results. Results: Participants were conscious of the rising prominence of preprints and cited early and fast dissemination as their most appealing feature. Preprints were also considered to enable broader access to scientific literature and increased opportunities for informal commenting. The main concerns related to the lack of quality assurance and the ‘Ingelfinger rule’. We identified trust as an essential factor in preprint posting, and highlight the enabling role of Twitter in showcasing preprints. Conclusions: The preprints landscape is evolving fast, and disciplinary communities are at different stages in the innovation diffusion process. The landscape is characterised by experimentation, which leads to the conclusion that a one-size-fits-all approach to preprints is not feasible. Cooperation and active engagement between the stakeholders involved will play an important role going forward. We share questions for the further development of the preprints landscape, with the most important being whether preprint posting will develop as a publisher- or researcher-centric practice.

Today, programming is one of the most actively developing technological areas in the world. Moreover, every year the degree of such development only increases, which is manifested in the deeper and more comprehensive penetration of different types of software products into different spheres of human life. This is an integral part of the process of technologicalization of the modern world. Speaking of the development of programming, it is believed that the theory of programming is studied and researched at a fairly high level. Undoubtedly, the process of creating a program uses generally defined algorithms, structures, approaches, and methods, but these are common things that operate at the planning stages. When it comes to the specific process of creating a piece of code that a particular person is involved in, this is where all the excessive subjectivization manifests itself. After all, each such person when writing code is guided by their experience, which is determined by education, knowledge, skills, worldview, and other components. To solve the problem associated with such excessive subjectivization, it is advisable to replace the generally accepted individual-subject paradigm, which involves defining the program through its creator, with intersubjective, in which the process of creating a program is the object of study and the subject itself a program that is the embodiment of a plan for this process. One of the methods of solving this problem, according to the concept-monad model, is the use of the oracle concept. The purpose of this work is to further develop the principles of the adaptive technological environment of programming based on the intersubjective paradigm, through the use of the oracle concept in solving programming problems. To achieve the above goal, it is necessary to develop an algorithm for applying the oracle concept approach. Identify its features and prospects for further development. The implementation of this method in practice in some way unifies the process of software development, thereby reducing the impact of the active role of the subject and supports the implementation of the intersubjective paradigm. Conceptualization is the process of creating a concept. A concept is a plan of a certain activity, aimed at solving a specific problem. That is, oracular structures should be understood as a set of certain elementary subtasks that have arisen as a result of conceptualizing a specific programming task. To further develop the principles of an adaptive technological programming environment based on the intersubjective paradigm in solving programming problems, a method of applying the oracle concept approach has been developed and proposed. Representative examples show its features and prospects for further development. The peculiarities include the fact that each subtask can be conceptualized as the simplest subtask. The implementation of this method in practice helps to unify the process of software product development, thereby reducing the impact of the active role of the subject and supports the introduction of an intersubjective paradigm. Further research on this topic will focus on the expansion and research, factography, and development of relevant facts for oracle conceptualization as an effective means of unification of certain types of problems and developed on its basis reduction methods of programming.

For years the thymus gland (TG) and the pineal gland (PG) have been subject of increasingly in-depth studies, but only recently a link that can associate the activities of the two organs has been identified. Considering, on the one hand, the well-known immune activity of thymus and, on the other, the increasingly emerging immunological roles of circadian oscillators and the rhythmically secreted main pineal product, melatonin, many studies aimed to analyse the possible existence of an interaction between these two systems. Moreover, data confirmed that the immune system is functionally associated with the nervous and endocrine systems determining an integrated dynamic network. In addition, recent researches showed a similar, characteristic involution process both in TG and PG. Since the second half of the 20th century, evidence led to the definition of an effectively interacting thymus-pineal axis (TG-PG axis), but much has to be done. In this sense, the aim of this review is to summarize what is actually known about this topic, focusing on the impact of the TG-PG axis on human life and ageing. We would like to give more emphasis to the implications of this dynamical interaction in a possible therapeutic strategy for human health. Moreover, we focused on all the products of TG and PG in order to collect what is known about the role of peptides other than melatonin. The results available today are often unclear and not linear. These peptides have not been well studied and defined over the years. In this review we hope to awake the interest of the scientific community in them and in their future pharmacological applications.

The article examines the results of the last Bundestag elections. They marked the end of the Angela Merkel era and reflected the continuation of difficult party-political and socio-economic processes in the informal leader of the European Union. The main attention of the research focuses on the peculiarities of the election campaign of the leading parties and of the search for ways of further development of Germany in the face of urgent economic and political challenges. These challenges include the impact of the coronavirus crisis, the impact of the energy and digital transition to a climate-neutral economy, and the complex international situation. Based on original sources, the author analyzes the causes of the SPD victory and the CDU/CSU bloc defeat, the results of the negotiations of the Social Democrats with the Greens and Liberals, the content of the coalition agreement from the point of view of the prospects for the development of domestic and foreign policy and the economy of Russia's main partner in the west of the Eurasian continent. The conclusion is made about the absence of breakthrough ideas, the consistent continuation of the course started by the previous government for a carbon-free economy and the strengthening of the role of Germany in Europe and the world. For this course, conflicts and problems in achieving the set goals will be immanent due to the compromising nature of the coalition agreements.

The Tagueleft basin is geographically located in the northern edges of the Middle High Atlas, which is a geomorphological fragile area. The impact of human activity has accelerated water erosion in this mountains area. This is reflected in dynamic and unstable foothills, a decrease in forests density and degradation in the production of the land. On the other hand, land degradation due to human overexploitation of natural resources has increased land degradation in the area. The interest in the risk of erosion on the foothills in the area under study comes in the context of our contribution to clarify the role of geomatical and geomorphological approaches in explaining and identifying the mechanisms responsible for current foothills dynamism through water erosion and its negative impacts on the environment and local development. The aim of the study was to use the EPM (Erosion Potential Méthod) which is formulated by Slobodan Gavrilovic for erosion in mountainous areas and to test the reliability of its results based on fieldwork and remote sensing data. The results of the erosion assessment and its quantification by applying the coefficient (W) for the theoretical model in the area under study have shown that erosion is very important and it touches on wide areas as it appears through the domain classification of the distribution erosion in Tagueleft basin.

The research behind this paper is set in the context of the 2016 US presidential election that has come to symbolize the post-truth era. We conducted a literature review on the 2016 election, with the aim to better understand the impact of computational propaganda on the election outcome and on the behaviour of voters. The paper opens with a definition of post-truth society and related concepts such as fake news and computational propaganda. It explores the changes of political communication in a digital environment and analyses the role of social media in the 2016 election. It probes into phenomena such as the trivialization of politics and the loss of credibility of political actors, which are both common in post-truth societies. The reviewed literature seems to indicate that social media have become strong actors on the political stage, but so far not the predominant source of political information and influence on the behaviour of voters. The paper makes two important contributions. Firstly, drawing on the concept of post-truth society, it analyses the role of computational propaganda in the 2016 presidential election, and secondly, it attempts to explain the paradox of general political apathy on one hand, and increased political activism on the other. These are some of the challenges we are now facing, and in order to be able to cope with them it is important to acknowledge and understand them.

The article deals with the question of the influence of marketing communications on consumer behavior. Today, in order to increase sales, it is no longer enough for companies to just improve their product or service, improve its quality. Among all marketing tools, marketing communications play a special role. The relevance of the topic is due to the need for a theoretical substantiation of the influence of the marketing communication environment on consumer behavior. The purpose of the article is to study the role of marketing communications and their impact on consumer behavior. As a result of this study, the role of marketing communications in the formation of consumer behavior has been substantiated from the standpoint of the main theories and concepts that form the subject areas of marketing communications research. The effectiveness of marketing policy depends on the correct choice of communication tools. The tools of the communication complex are highlighted and characterized. It has been proved that marketing communications influence the formation of consumer behavior in three aspects: informational, emotional, and behavioral. The scientific approaches of scientists to the definition of the process of making a consumer’s decision to purchase are analyzed. The stages of the consumer’s decision-making process to purchase a product are highlighted. Today, integrated marketing communications are considered more effective. They represent the most complete marketing communications system that includes all elements from advertising to packaging. Special attention is paid to the issue of the effectiveness of the impact of marketing communications on consumer behavior. The sequence of determining the effectiveness of the impact of marketing communications on consumer behavior is indicated. It is noted that for effective promotion of goods, only the informational component of communications is not enough. When developing a marketing communications system, it is necessary to take into account personal values. This will increase the degree of influence on consumer behavior. The main goal of marketing communications is to motivate consumer behavior. The use of modern marketing communications through a variety of means can increase the effectiveness of influencing consumer behavior.
