HR Crisis Management in Government Organizations

The aim of the article is to study the features and directions of HR crisis management in government organizations. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, the views of researchers on the definition of the concept “crisis management” are systematized. Crisis management should be considered as a system of specific management measures and solutions for diagnosing, preventing, neutralizing, and overcoming crises and their causes, taking into account the time factor. It is substantiated that anti-crisis measures must, first of all, take into account the human factor, i.e., they must provide for the formation of an effective anti-crisis HR policy in a government organization. The main areas of HR crisis management are defined, based on the formation of a system of work with personnel focused on obtaining not only economic but also social effect upon compliance with the current legislation. The problems caused by crisis factors are especially clearly manifested in relation to managerial personnel: first of all, it is connected with their mastering their skills of working under new conditions. The expediency of the formation and development of special competencies of the heads of functional and linear divisions of a government organization in the implementation of HR crisis management is substantiated. The specific competences and functions of an anti-crisis manager are determined

International Security: Current Situation and Ways of Improvement Legal Regulation

The issue of security is a fundamental aspect in the maintenance of international relations, and such relations cannot be upheld without concrete laws and credible policies underlying the international scene. It is really essential and appropriate in setting strong international security on the international level. With all these in place, ensuring this international security has been a difficult task by actors on the international scene due to the multifacet of the various legal regimes with the diversified policy set up making the objective of international security a laughable phenomenon.  The purpose of the article is to determine the characteristic features of the current state of the international security system, based on current situations in a particular region of the world, as well as to establish the relationship between various elements of international security. This great plague attacking international security has been of great questioning too many of the international scene as to what importance will security be necessary when it cannot be respected by those who claim in ensuring international peace and security?

Hal ini sangat penting dan tepat dalam menetapkan keamanan internasional yang kuat di tingkat internasional. Dengan semua ini, memastikan keamanan internasional ini telah menjadi tugas yang sulit oleh para aktor di kancah internasional karena multifaset dari berbagai rezim hukum dengan kebijakan yang beragam membuat tujuan keamanan internasional menjadi fenomena yang menggelikan. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk menentukan fitur karakteristik dari keadaan sistem keamanan internasional saat ini, berdasarkan situasi saat ini di wilayah tertentu di dunia, serta untuk menetapkan hubungan antara berbagai elemen keamanan internasional. Wabah besar yang menyerang keamanan internasional ini telah menjadi pertanyaan besar bagi banyak orang di kancah internasional tentang pentingnya keamanan apa yang diperlukan ketika keamanan tidak dapat dihormati oleh mereka yang mengklaim dalam menjamin perdamaian dan keamanan internasional? Dalam menjawab pertanyaan ini, sudah sepantasnya kita mengadopsi penelitian empiris untuk mengkaji berbagai rintangan yang dapat membahayakan keamanan internasional. Dari pengalaman hasil di atas, orang dapat mengatakan dengan ketakutan akan kontraksi bahwa gagasan keamanan internasional lebih merupakan penundaan daripada ganti rugi yang masuk akal.

Государства выдвигают разные, иногда противоречивые предложения по совершенствованию системы международной безопасности, поскольку страны имеют разные возможности для реализации реальных мер по реформированию международной безопасности. Считается, что несколько самых влиятельных стран мира играют основную роль в формировании так называемой «повестки дня» в международной политике, в том числе в сфере безопасности. Их влияние основано на различных сферах общественной жизни. Развитые демократии Западной Европы и Северной Америки оказывают значительное влияние на международно-правовые отношения благодаря своему экономическому, культурному и политическому влиянию. В свою очередь, Россия и Китай в значительной степени повлияли на международную политику через ультиматумы и угрозы из-за своих собственных вооруженных сил, которые по-прежнему остаются если не лучшими, то одними из крупнейших в мире. Особое внимание обращается на тот факт, что Украина в связи с вышеуказанными обстоятельствами должна следовать курсу сближения с развитыми демократиями, чтобы добиться успеха. С учетом проведенного исследования авторами представлены предложения по совершенствованию правового регулирования международной безопасности.Ключевые слова: международная безопасность, защита интересов, международное сотрудничество, противодействие угроза

Legal Regulation of Agricultural Land Circulation in Ukraine: Problems and Prospects

The article is devoted to the analysis of the legal regime of agricultural land in Ukraine. In 2001, a “land moratorium” was introduced in Ukraine, which imposed a ban on the alienation of agricultural land intended for commercial agricultural production and land. The European Court of Human Rights, in its judgment in Zelenchuk and Tsitsyura v. Ukraine, unanimously concluded that there had been a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Ukraine, which is the respondent State in the case, in addition to mandatory individual measures (payment of compensation or other means in favor of the applicant to terminate the wrongful act and improve the consequences of the application) is obliged to apply general methods to solve the problem. The authors used different methods of scientific knowledge. Thus, the method of analysis was used to study draft laws on transformation processes in the field of ownership, use, disposal of agricultural land in Ukraine. The method of comparison makes it possible to compare registered bills and current regulatory acts in the area of agricultural land use. The deduction method helped to investigate the decision of the European Court of Human Rights "Zelenchuk and Tsitsyura v. Ukraine" According to the results of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that only a combination of market mechanisms of agricultural land turnover with mandatory compliance with environmental requirements and an effective mechanism of legal liability for offenses in the possession, use, and disposal of the most valuable wealth of our country can secure a dignified future for the modern and future generations

Sociolinguistic dimensions of dialect space of Ukraine and Poland

The aim of the research is to analyse the use of lexical, grammatical and morphological dialectisms-Polonisms in speech by the inhabitants of Nadsanie in various spheres of life (family, household, business, and education). The research involved the following general scientific and sociolinguistic methods: diagnostic (questionnaire), discursive, and intentional methods; the statistical method—mathematical processing of data obtained during the experiment; and the descriptive method—description and recording of the results. The following results were found through the application of the said methods for the analysis of respondents’ answers. Hence, the use of lexical, grammatical and morphological dialects tends to gradually decrease in older and middle age groups, the actual disappearance among young people. Given the socio-historical situation of modern Ukraine, sociolinguistic study of dialectisms-Polonisms showed how the independence of their own state contributes to the development of their own ethnographic dialectisms, as well as the gradual decline and disappearance of other languages. Further research involves the study of dialectisms-Polonisms in other territories of Western Ukraine and the areas which are close to the Polish border. The studies of other groups of dialectisms-Polonisms (in particular, phonetic and syntactic) and the elements of dialectisms-Ukrainianisms in the Polish language are also promising
