Українська революція і проблема створення національного парламенту
No full textIn this article, based on the analysis of available documents and real historical facts was made an attempt to follow the approaches and practices of the political forces that sought to implement the concept of the Ukrainian national-democratic revolution, one of its core program requirements - the convening of a national parliament.First steps in the aforementioned direction were made during the time of the Central Rada, headed by M. Hrushevsky. Leading political coordination center, created on a democratic basis and, in the conviction of its leaders, called upon to bring the Ukrainian community into a national system, in the process of its development began to take on some of the functions inherent in the classical examples of the world, first of all European parliamentarism. Starting from the documents of the Ukrainian National Congress (April 6-8, 1917, Kiev), Ukrainian political parties, and the approval of the Constitution of the Ukrainian People's Republic (April 29, 1918), due to the convening of a parliamentary institution (the names were different - Ukrainian Constituent Assembly, The Constituent Council, the Ukrainian Sejm (Soim), the Legislative Duma, the Provisional Parliamentary Assembly, the Parliament, the National Assembly of Ukraine, etc.) the task of creating the People's Parliament was put forward as a political perspective. The same Central Rada, or its unchanging Chairman, or scholars of law, constitutionalists, guided by scientific criteria, are not inclined to qualify as a full-fledged National Parliament. And the initiated process of movement in a democratic way was the force interrupted by the coup on April 29, 1918.Upon coming to power, hetman P. Skoropadsky abolished the Constitution of the UPR with his first acts and banned the convening of the Constituent Assembly, which planned to convene the Central Rada.In times of Hetmanate temporality, extraordinary, transient impetus of authoritarian rule were proved in every way. Numerous public declarations promised to create a parliamentary institution (for 7,5 months of the official existence of the Ukrainian State, even its name was not tired) have in fact turned out to be an empty sound. But the real position of delaying the authorities to resolve the popular, urgent problem was rigorously co-ordinated with the Austro-German occupation administration, for which, as the true ruler of the situation in the country, the National Parliament seemed unclear, totally unnecessary rage.On the business ground, the Directory tried to implement of the idea of creating a national parliament. However, the general situation of 1919 - 1920 was overcomplicated. In particular, contradictions in the political direction of the revived Ukrainian People's Republic were significantly negative. For some time it was planned to delegate the role of the Parliament before the Labor Congress of Ukraine (January 23-29, 1919), but it did not become, according to the plan, a permanent institution. Practically performing certain parliamentary functions (for example, lawmaking activities), the Directory, like the Central Rada, planned to convene a full-fledged national parliament, eventually determined by the beginning of implementation of the judicial process (Act of Unification of the UNR and ZUNR on January 22, 1919). However, due to the difficult, first of all the military, situation which permanently deteriorated, the realization of democratic state-building plans did not happen.Thus, in spite of ideas, initiatives, plans, preparatory efforts and approved documents, the practice of fulfilling some of the functions inherent in the Parliament, such a genuine institution in the revolutionary era (1917-1920), was not created in Ukraine.На основі аналізу наявних документів, реальних історичних фактів відтворюється аспект досвіду діяльності політичних сил України в 1917–1920 рр., спрямованої на запровадження в державотворення демократичних засад (народоправства), реалізації одного з його найважливіших, популярніших гасел і вимог – скликання національного парламенту. Робиться висновок, що попри всі зусилля й бажання, здійснені окремі кроки, лідерам Української революції, як доби Центральної Ради, так і Директорії, домогтися здійснення стратегічного завдання з різних причин не судилос
Structural-functional providing of the operative-investigative crime prevention in the field of public procurement in Ukraine
No full textThe aim of the article is to determine the readiness level to prevent crime in the field of public procurement by the criminal police units of the National Police of Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study is the Constitution of Ukraine, other domestic legislative and other normative acts which regulate operational-search activities and criminal procedure, general theoretical and special legal literature, which show the topic under study, and encyclopedic sources. The method of analysis, the system-structural method, sociological methods (questioning, interviewing), formal-logical method, comparative method, modeling method are used in article. To achieve the goal of the article in the structure of the criminal police of the National Police of Ukraine were identified unites which carry out operational-search crime prevention in the field of public procurement, analyzed the structure of the units and determined their functions in crime prevention. The results of the study show that the structural and functional support of the operational-search crime prevention in the field of public procurement by the criminal police is not at the proper level
Issues related to the territorial location of the main events of the Battle of Zhovti Vody in 1648
No full textThe issue of determining the location of the main events of the Battle of Zhovti Vody in 1648 is considered. The Battle of Zhovti Vody, which changed the course of history not only in Ukraine and Poland but also in other European countries, is still poorly studied. There is no definitive answer to some key questions, such as the location of the « Urochishche Zhovti Vody», the place where the registered Cossacks joined Bohdan Khmelnitsky. Based on the analysis of sources and cartographic information, as well as a personal study of the area, the author draws conclusions about the location of the besieged Polish camp, the location of Kamenny Zaton. The author draws attention for the first time to special marks on one of the versions of the General Map of Ukraine by Guillaume Levasseur de Beauplan published by Willem Hondius in 1648, related to the Battle of Zhovti Vody. The study used a comparative analysis of historical maps and critical analysis of sources, regardless of the influence and authority of the authors. Identification and analysis of contradictions in the available empirical material led to the search for effective ways to eliminate them. As a result of the research, it became possible for the first time to locate the places of the main events of the beginning of the national liberation struggles of the Ukrainian people in the middle of the 17th century
Utopia: A Possible View from Latin America
No full textThis essay explores one possible interpretation on how Latin American intellectuals and activists use the concept of utopia. The first part of the essay provides a sketch of how European and US scholars, particularly those following Ernst Bloch, have articulated utopia. The section ends with a pessimistic reading of utopia due to the institutional power of settler colonialism, white supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy. In the second section of the essay, the author begins by using some of the work of Jose Boaventura de Sousa Santos to explore Quijano’s coloniality of power. In the process the author demonstrates how much of European thought around utopia assumes knowledge as an un-positioned, un-located, neutral, and universalistic position. So utopia, as articulated by European thinkers, becomes part of the violent history and epistemology that invented America and can be said to be tainted with this original sin. In response, Latin American scholars and activists turn to concepts that emerge from struggles of resistance against Eurocentric thought and practices, like sumac kaway, pachamama, or the Zapatista struggles to restore utopia as part of the struggle for el buen vivir. This approach helps disentangle ourselves from the projects of modernity and permits a collective mode of thinking that is produced and thought from difference, towards liberation. So Latin American activists and scholars, like others from the Global South, are endeavoring to reevaluate utopia by going beyond European thought and restoring value to the struggles of communities whose heritage have been erased, especially native communities that have resisted coloniality

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНА ІСТОРІОГРАФІЧНА ОЦІНКА МІЖНАРОДНОГО СТАНОВИЩА УКРАЇНИ ЗА ДОБИ ГЕТЬМАНАТУ П. СКОРОПАДСЬКОГО
No full textСуперечливим подіям 1918 р. загалом та окремим його аспектам, зокрема, присвячено надзвичайно багато літератури з різноманітними підходами, висновками й оцінками. Серед новітніх публікацій автор статті пропонує ознайомитися з книгою «Україна між самовизначенням та окупацією: 1917-1922 роки». Представлене дослідження оцінює політику, що призвела до кардинальних зрушень у тогочасній Європі. У статті йдеться про надзвичайно складні процеси, що наповнювали міжнародне життя у 1918 р., місце і роль України в них. Ґрунтовний аналіз проведено на основі архівних та інших джерел наукових центрів Австрії, Німеччини, Угорщини, Великої Британії, Франції, Польщі, Чехії, Росії та інших країн. Поява книги стало непересічним явищем в історичній науці. Реагуючи на її зміст, висновки та оцінки, історики України можуть поєднати їх з власними набутками, врахувати позитиви, відхилити те, що з погляду серйозної наукової експертизи виявиться неприйнятним, додатково продумати аргументацію щодо сумнівних моментів та зосередитися на нагальних й перспективних питаннях.Contradictory events in 1918 as a whole and its separate aspects, in particular, are devoted to a lot of literature with different approaches, conclusions and assessments. Among the newest publications,the author of the article proposes to familiarize with the book “Ukraine between self-determination and occupation: 1917-1922”. The presented research evaluates the policy, which led to drastic changes in Europe at that time. The article deals with extremely complicated processes that filled international life in 1918, the place and role of Ukraine in them. A thorough analysis was based on archival and other sources of scientific centers in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Great Britain, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia and other countries. The appearance of the book has become an unusual phenomenon in historical science. Responding to its content, conclusions and assessments, historians of Ukraine can combine them with their own achievements, take into account the positive ones, reject what, from the point of view of serious scientific expertise, will be inappropriate, further consider the argumentation of doubtful moments and focus on urgent and perspective issues

Nature-based community recovery post-natural disaster : black summer bushfires
No full textObjective Natural disasters can cause widespread death and extensive physical devastation, but also harmfully impact individual and community health following a disaster event. Nature-based recovery approach can positively influence the mental health of people and community's post-natural disasters. In response to the Australian bushfire season of 2019-2020, Zoos Victoria, in partnership with the Arthur Rylah Institute, worked with local communities in East Gippsland to support people's recovery through experiencing, supporting, and witnessing nature's recovery. Methods This mixed-method study explored how nature improved the recovery of remote and rural communities affected by the Black Summer bushfires in East Gippsland. The research studied the individuals' feelings about being involved in nature-based community events and their lived experiences. Data were collected from June to September 2023 through a nature-based community recovery project survey and community interviews. Results The findings demonstrated that engagement with natural environments promotes positive psychological, mental, and general well-being of people from bushfire-affected communities. Positive feedback from participants indicated the success of the Nature-Based Community Recovery Project in East Gippsland after the Black Summer bushfire. Conclusions This research provides insights for future recovery projects and ensures that sustainable nature-based recovery solutions for bushfire-impacted communities can be established. © 2025 The Author(s).

Appealing in administrative relations: vision of the Strasbourg Court
No full textThe article is devoted to appealing in relations with public administration, which is researched in the aspect of ECHR’s case law. Author studies cases concerning articles 6, 13 of the Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, article 1 of the First protocol to the Convention. Author empathizes, that primarily art. 6 of the Convention protecting right to a fair trial did not cover the cases of administrative jurisdiction. But now ECHR accepts complaints concerning some cases in this area, including social protection of paramedics (Feldebrugge v. the Netherlands), administrative acts restricting using of property (Grimkovskaya v. Ukraine), the rights of public professional associations (OVR v. the Russian Federation), welfare payments (Gavrilenko v. the Russian Federation). According to the ECHR’s case law in some situation cases concerning administrative sanctions are covered by art. 6 (e.g. Engel and Others v. the Netherlands) because of de facto criminal character of such sanctions (Yarmola v. Ukraine, where applicant was ordered the confiscation of 268.5 tonnes of the waste metal collected by him). On the other hand, tax cases are not the subject of art. 6 of the Convention (Ferrazzini v. Italy).
The Strasbourg court pays attention to such aspect of appealing in relations with public administration as not absolute character of the person’s right on appealing. In almost all cases democratic state must guarantee this right. But restricting of appealing in cases concerning petty crimes (e.g. small fines) is possible (Luchaninova v. Ukraine). The Court also said that states should establish an effective system of appealing, as administrative as court ones (Kadikis v. Latvia, Soldatenko v. Ukraine, Baysakov and Others v. Ukraine). The Court in this way stresses on the importance of legal certainty as a condition of effective mechanism of appealing (Bulanov and Kupchik v. Ukraine, Vasyliv v. Ukraine).
The Court also said that enforcement of courts’ decisions against public administration is a crucial part of the right for appealing. In the case “Hornsby v. Greece” the Court notes, that “The effective protection of a party to such proceedings and the restoration of legality presuppose an obligation on the administrative authorities’ part to comply with a judgment of that court. The Court observes in this connection that the administrative authorities form one element of a State subject to the rule of law and their interests accordingly coincide with the need for the proper administration of justice. Where administrative authorities refuse or fail to comply, or even delay doing so, the guarantees under art. 6 enjoyed by a litigant during the judicial phase of the proceedings are rendered devoid of purpose”.
At the end the author points that ECHR’ case law is not only a measure of legislative development. The Court’s judgments should be used as a valid law by bodies (especially courts) hearing complaints (administrative suits).Стаття присвячена механізму оскарження в адміністративно-правових відносинах, який розглядається крізь практику Європейського суду з прав людини.

First-generation student transition to university: an exploratory study into the first-year experience of students attending University Kebangsaan Malaysia
No full textTransition is the movement, the passage of change from one role to another. This research offers an in-depth understanding of how the transition to university is experienced by first-generation students. To explore and understand the process of change underlying the transition process, this research uses qualitative research methods, semi-structured interviews and journal writing. Drawing from the data, a longitudinal case study followed the 16 students’ transition experiences for nine months, from the first semester to the end of the second semester of the first year. The research focused on three fundamental issues: higher education aspirations and decisions, the challenges encountered in the initial week of first year and the adjustment process, arguing that an understanding of these three aspects is necessary for a better understanding of the formation of learner identity. The research findings demonstrate that in the early weeks of university students experienced disjuncture between expectations held prior to commencing university and the reality they encounter. These phases are characterized as experiencing conflict with their new role and anxieties with their ability to manage the academic demands and expectations. Based on the evidence gathered, this is caused by inaccurate information they receive from third parties and during their prior educational experience. Early experience, whether positive or negative, is an important phase within this movement. Students become more active agents by being engaged and identifying difficulties and finding solutions. Student engagement both in class and out-of-class provides them with more accurate information on the knowledge and skills for their learning identity. Academic and non-academic support received both on and off campus comes from a range of sources including lecturers, peers and seniors, parents and family members, all of whom are identified as important contributors to the adjustment process of these first-generation students
