Effect of Heterogeneous Deacetylation on the Properties of Northern Shrimp Chitin and Chitosan

The effect of alkaline treatment of shrimp chitin on the molecular weight, the degree of deacetylation and degree of crystallinity of the resulting chitosan is studied. The viscosity of chitosan solutions from repeatedly deacetylated chitin is studied. It is shown that repeated treatment of chitin/chitosan with alkali causes the destruction of polysaccharide macromolecules. After four-time deacetylation and one-time deacetylation of chitin/chitosan for four hours, the molecular weight of the polysaccharide decreases by ten times. The maximum degree of chitosan deacetylation under experimental conditions was 92.0 -92.5%. The diffractograms of chitin and chitosan from the Northern shrimp are of the form typical for samples containing an amorphous phase in addition to a crystalline phase. The degree of crystallinity of chitin from Northern shrimp was 40.8%, of chitosan samples after one-, two-, and three-time deacetylation was 62-65%. For a sample of chitosan obtained after four-time deacetylation, recrystallization, and drying in a freeze dryer, the degree of crystallinity is close to the degree of crystallinity of shrimp chitin. The investigated acetic acid chitosan solutions with a concentration of 5% (wt.) and the chitosan molecular weight of 250, 160 and 130 kDa in their rheological properties are liquid-like non-Newtonian systems, their viscosity decreasing with increasing shear stress. After four-time deacetylation of chitin, the viscosity of chitosan solutions practically does not change with increasing shear stress, which apparently can be due to a significant decrease in the molecular weight of chitosan under these conditions

Constitutional principles of protection of family rights and interests of the child in civil proceedings

In today's society, paradigms and models of child-rearing, values, and opportunities of parents, competent authorities, and the court to ensure the rights of the child are changing. Most states have identified the protection of family rights and interests of the child, the avoidance of violence against the child, the prohibition of bullying, etc. among the priority areas of state policy. It is important to analyze the constitutional principles of protection of family rights and the concept “the best interests of the child” in civil proceedings, because it is the court that the legislator has the broadest powers in this area, compared to other jurisdictions. The work aims to study the guiding constitutional principles based on which the court can protect the family rights and interests of the child. The research methodology consists of general theoretical and special scientific methods, namely: hermeneutic, system-structural, structural-functional, historical-legal, comparative-legal, and formal-logical. As a result of the study, the mechanisms of the best possible protection of children's rights by the courts were analyzed. An analysis of current case law, including the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, concluded that today courts and other competent bodies pay considerable attention to analyzing "how a child will be better" and make informed decisions and, if necessary, correct previous mistakes

Current issues of the application of ECTHR decisions and its implementation in the field of children's rights protection

The main jurisdictional body in the field of human rights protection is the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The activities of the ECtHR, among other things, are of key importance for ensuring the effective functioning and continuous improvement of the international system for the protection of children's rights. Thus, the study of the ECtHR's practice in the field of protection of children's rights is relevant in view of the importance of applying appropriate approaches to resolving disputes at the national level, as well as from the point of view of improving national and international legislation in the field of protection of children's rights. Therefore, the purpose of the work is the analysis of the practice of the ECtHR in the field of the protection of children's rights, as well as the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of relevant decisions of the ECtHR at the national level. Research methods used in writing the article include analysis, synthesis, formal-logical and comparative-legal methods. As a result of the research, the authors of the article analyzed the specific decisions of the ECtHR in the field of protection of children's rights, summarized the main approaches, standards, and principles used by the ECtHR in solving relevant cases, as well as making their own proposals for improving the current legislation of Ukraine aimed at protecting children's rights

Linguistic and semiotic representation of pessimism in The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde

This paper focuses on the indirect means of verbalising the phenomenon of pessimism in the texts of literary fairy tales from the point of view of linguosemiotics. The study aims to identify the linguistic and semiotic means that create the pessimistic discourse of Oscar Wilde's collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Pessimistic discourse is treated as a person-centred type of discourse, represented by a complex system of means that reveals the speaker's pessimistic worldview and is characterised by its aims, style, and tenor. The study employs semantic and lingo-semiotic analysis of the ontological phenomenon of pessimism in fictional texts, using content analysis to ensure the reliability and validity of the results. Furthermore, the four-stage methodological procedure used in this research allows us to define a general literary context of the analysed works, select the research material, determine the frequency characteristics of the symbols as lingo-semiotic means that create the pessimistic tonality and discourse of Oscar Wilde's collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales. The research identifies the symbols of nature (seasons, flowers), the material world (colours, everyday objects), distance and death (as an ontological category) as verbal triggers of the author's pessimism implemented in the narrative through the contextual markers of basic, adjacent and related qualitative features of pessimism reflecting its social, psychological and cognitive aspects. The study contributes to the development of linguistic semiotics, psycholinguistics and discourse studies by enriching the knowledge of idiostyles. The proposed methodology of the given research is considered promising within the framework of different genres.  Disclosure Statement No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors. * Corresponding author: Alla Pavliuk, 0000-0002-6037-4819 [email protected]

State Control Mechanisms as Means of Improving the Quality of Public Services of Local Self-Government Bodies

The article deals with the state control mechanisms and their role in improving the quality of public services provided by local self-government bodies. The aim of the article is to identify key state control mechanisms, opportunities for improving the level of public services of local self-government bodies, and provide recommendations for improving the system of state control. Different state control mechanisms were studied, including inspections, performance evaluation, financial audit, quality standards, legal oversight, and citizen feedback mechanisms. Contextual analysis, comparison, and graphic methods were used as research methods. Satisfaction with services in the EU countries was determined by different areas of public services. The study emphasizes the importance of state control in promoting transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in local government service delivery. The results of the study demonstrate ways of optimization of state control mechanisms by public authorities to improve the overall quality of public services. Attention is focused on the need for effective state control to increase the level of satisfaction and well-being of citizens at the local level. A model of comprehensive implementation of state control mechanisms over the quality of public services of local self-government bodies was developed
