Aim: To study the impact of small doses of radiation pollution of environment on the physical development and health of students from different areas of residence. materials and methods: The study was conducted at Polissya National University (Zhytomyr, Ukraine) during 2012-2020. 647 students of different specialties in the age of 17-23 were interviewed about the use of preventive measures to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) accident in 1986 and other factors of radiation pollution of environment. In addition, 127 students who were born, lived for some time or periodically lived in the area of low doses of radioactive contamination (58 males and 69 females) and 238 students who lived in the clean area from radioactive contamination (113 males and 125 females) were interviewed to compare the samples. Results: The comparative analysis of the students’ physical development from different areas of residence showed that the students from the clean area have better indicators of average body height, body weight, Erisman index with no significant differences (P>0.05). Significant differences were revealed in the indicators of the circumference of the chest and the dynamometry of the hand (P<0.05-0.01). Conclusions: It was established that long-term residence in the area with low doses of radioactive contamination has a negative impact on the physical development and health of the students. The students who have lived for a long time in the area of radioactive contamination more often suffer from a disease, miss classes and get tired faster during physical education sessions. It was clarified that the majority of the students are not involved in health preservation activities, but only in cases when they face significant health problems associated with the need to see a doctor, disability, etc.

The Impact

The features of formation radiation situation in agricultural production in the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident were considered. On the basis of the summarized post-accident experience, assessment was made of the effectiveness of countermeasures to reduce the level of radioactive contamination of agricultural products. The current problems and scientific challenges to support agricultural production in the area of radioactive contamination in the remote period after the accident were formulated. It is shown that the use of modern technology and employing profitable agricultural production is the best way of rehabilitation contaminated areas. Natural processes of rehabilitation will not help to normalize the radiation situation theretore carrying out countermeasures in contaminated areas is vital. The developed technologies are the most effective which make it possible to carry out targeted countermeasures in individual households and small arrays. Monitoring the distribution of radioactive pollution, behavior of radionuclides in the related environment and forecast of their migration allows developing and implementing the most reasonable management decisions to improve the radioecological situation.

The Impact

In today's world, gamification is widely used as one of the most effective approaches to learning. Developed and implemented in the educational process work "Welder" is a visual tool in the study of the influence of factors of the production environment and the work process on the health of the working and environment in the welding process. The use of such works in various forms of training is very important and necessary in modern conditions. This is especially true for distance learning. With distance learning, where there is virtually no "live" communication with the teacher, there are difficulties in presenting theoretical material. In connection with this, a new computer simulation program was developed and introduced into the educational process at the Department of Occupational Safety at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics. The program, which gives an opportunity to clearly visualize the impact of various factors on the welder and the environment, introduces methods and means of protection against their negative impact.

The Impact

We examine how social activism—in the form of public protests against contentious business practices—can spill over into the regulatory domain, extending beyond activists’ articulated goals to affect firms’ regulatory outcomes in areas that are not directly targeted. We argue that firms are likely to experience broader regulatory repercussions after activist protests because public contention invites greater scrutiny of firm behavior by industry regulators, increasing the likelihood that instances of organizational noncompliance will be discovered. Protests can also cause regulators to evaluate targeted firms more negatively in regulatory assessments, especially firms with less favorable preexisting reputations or stakeholder relations, and to tighten regulations on nontargeted issues that signal their commitment to safeguarding the public interest. We further contend that the political context within which regulatory agencies operate shapes the extent of protest spillovers: When political institutions are aligned with activist goals, and when regulators are ideologically sympathetic too, protests have a more pronounced negative impact on firms’ regulatory outcomes in nontargeted domains. We find robust support for our predictions in a statistical analysis of the impact of antinuclear protests—which sought to block nuclear power plant development by electric utilities—on utilities’ subsequent regulated financial rates of return on their assets. Our analysis contributes new insights to research on the indirect consequences for targeted organizations of social activism.

Storage Facilities

The penetration of intermittent renewable energies in the electricity mixes impact the wholesale price. In the absence of electricity storing capacities at reasonable costs, the back-up of the intermittent renewable energies is ensured by fossil or nuclear power plants. In 2016 the French Nuclear Safety Authority has ordered the shutdown of a large part of nuclear units for safety reasons. This paper analyses the impact of such a decision both on the evolution of the whole-sale price of electricity and on the French commercial balance. Although the resulting mix from the partial shutdown of the nuclear power plants was able to produce the electrical energy consumed, it was unable to keep up with demand. This has resulted in a very sharp increase in the price of electricity on the spot market and in massive electricity imports at peak times. Moreover the carbon electricity footprint produced in France is much lower than the one pro-duced by its neighbors. Consequently, the nuclear partial shutdown has a negative climatic impact resulting in a deterioration of the citizen welfare. Thus, the French experience of 2016 teaches us that in the absence of electricity storage facilities, there is no point in trying to re-duce the share of nuclear and fossil fuels in the electricity mix. If the policymakers want to do so, they must ensure that massive electricity storage facilities are present and promote electrici-ty demand flexibility on a large scale. This study highlights also the divergence that can exist between the interest of the nuclear producer (higher revenues) and the collective interest (lower welfare and negative impact on the trade balance).

Іntroduction. For the first time, based on the study of the interaction of political and legal systems, the politicо-legal system is structured, its structure, components and functions are identified. The politicо-legal system is a methodological tool designed to facilitate the study and understanding of the interdependence of policy and law. The politicо-legal system previously have been studied separately within two sciences - political science and jurisprudence. Both systems turned out to be separated on a theoretical level, although in practice they are interconnected. Paying no attention to this interconnection at the scientific level has a negative impact on the quality and effectiveness of the regulation of public relations. The successful functioning of any state governed by the rule of law is impossible without a harmonious combination, coordinated interaction of politics and law in the management of the state and society. Therefore, the aim of the article is to structure the politicо-legal system and identify its components, to clarify the functions. The study of such multilevel, hierarchical and interconnected phenomena, the connection between which has been ignored for a long time, requires the consideration of these objects as complex systems. With the help of this method the following definition of the politicо-legal system is proposed in article. The politicо-legal system is a complex supersystem in which political and legal systems interact. It is a multilevel, complex, interconnected set of interactions and interrelations of politicо-legal institutions and legal means designed to regulate politicо-legal relations, and politicо-legal phenomena arising from this regulation, which ensures the stability and development of politicо-legal sphere . Conclusions. The study of the structure, components, functions of the politicо-legal system system makes it possible to understand its essence, which is manifested in the interaction of law and politics, the peculiarities of the impact on society, the relationship with the internal and external environment. Prospects for further research in this area are inexhaustible, since the theory of political and legal system is just beginning to get scientific shape within the interdisciplinary science - legal political science.

The existence of a corona virus epidemic or Covid-19 that lasted a long time in several countries, one of which in Indonesia has a negative impact on the Micro and Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The impact that occurred was the decline in turnover due to the reduced number of buyers, where many MSMEs had to close their businesses. When entering the new normalcy era or the New Normal era, the SMEs will open their businesses again but get new challenges in terms of product innovation. Innovation is needed to make a business survive in the new normal era, one of which is innovation in terms of product types. The purpose of this study is to produce recommendations for SMEs in determining the right product innovation strategy in the New Normal era. This study raises the formulation of the problem of how the SME product innovation strategy in the current era of New Normal. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with data collection techniques through network interviews and descriptive data analysis techniques, with research informants who are SMEs in East Jakarta. The results of this study indicate that in the New Normal era, the SMEs are implementing a product innovation strategy by changing the shape of the product in the same type  (changing shape)  and also changing the type of product that is different from the previous product (changing type). By implementing the two product innovation strategies, SMEs can still compete in the New Normal era at this time. Recommendations from this research are expected to be used by SMEs to be more innovative in producing culinary products so they can survive in the New Normal era.

Within the territory of the Dendrological park Oleksandriya subsurface contamination with petroleum prod- ucts, the source of which is a former aircraft repair plant, has existed for a long time. The circumstances of the formation of ecological and hydrogeological situation on the territory of the dendrological park under the influence of petroleum con- tamination from the technogenic loaded area are considered in order to create the system of control of potentially negative impact on the environment and planning of remediation actions. The creation of the eco-industrial park Bila Tserkva will minimize the man-made impact on the state of the underground hydrosphere of the dendrological park.

Background: Kickboxing is a combat sport where athletes require constant supervision of a coach. The outbreak of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has led to a crisis in many sectors, including sport. Global efforts to limit the spread of the pathogen resulted in temporary lockdowns that limited sporting activity, thus deteriorating athletes’ physical fitness. Methods: The participants included 20 kickboxers competing at the international level. Their physical fitness was evaluated based on the test developed by the International Committee on the Standardization of Physical Fitness Test (ICSPFT) and their body build was assessed using Tanita BC601 body composition monitor and a body height meter. Differences between physical fitness before the COVID-19 outbreak and during the pandemic after re-opening sports facilities were evaluated. Results: Temporary closing of sports clubs has led to the increase in body mass of the participants by 2.65 kg on average and significantly deteriorated physical fitness. Conclusions: Temporary closing of sports clubs and restrictions on physical activity aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19 caused a significant reduction in physical fitness and increased body mass of the participants. This is likely to cause worse performance in the nearest competitions and have a negative impact on the athletes’ health status and immunity to diseases.
