Abstract International education is crucial in Europe; almost all higher educational institutions (HEIs) have international students studying part or full time in English. However, students are often not prepared for the academic process and are not always interculturally competent to study in the international environment. Authors of the present research suppose that apart from communicative language competence, that is vital for the success of studies, learners are expected to possess knowledge and skills on how to study and how to cooperate with students with other cultural backgrounds. The study aims at investigating what academic requirements students as HEI applicants should be prepared for before entrance to the university and what competences, as a result, are required of them for a successful process of studies. Theoretical findings on academic and intercultural competences are presented and the framework of these competences describing skills, abilities and knowledge is compiled. The empirical research includes a case study in Latvia and examples of intercultural competence in the academic environment in Moldova. Insights from theory and the framework may lay background for future research and may benefit different stakeholders of the HEI − international department, students and the academic personnel.

Abstract The practice of the last few years shows a significant increase in the number of consumer applications to public authorities for protection of their violated rights. As the main guarantor of consumer protection in the field of public administration, the State Consumer Rights Protection Authority bears a heavy administrative burden as a result. Consumer surveys show that they are indifferent to their rights, both in terms of their content and their protection. On the other hand, rules of civil procedure designed to ensure the right of access to a court are not an appropriate guarantor of public interest for consumers due to their complexity. As a consequence of all these circumstances, the current legal mechanism for consumer rights protection does not ensure a prompt and efficient process.

Abstract The last two decades have seen a huge technological development, also known as the technology explosion, making it easier for anyone to access any kind of information, including of course intellectual property, anywhere in the world, and this has created new challenges for the protection of intellectual property. But nowadays, technology not only allows access to any work of authorship or invention, it is also capable of creating works of authorship or inventions itself, leading legal scholars to debate whether works created by technology can be protected if they are not human‐made. As is well known, almost all national laws only recognise an author or inventor if it is a human‐made work, but what about a painting or invention created by artificial intelligence? Are such works becoming vulnerable and freely available to everyone today? The methodological basis of this article is based on general scientific approaches (analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, comparison, analogy and a systemic and structural‐functional approach). The article also draws on court decisions, legislation, legal literature, publications and doctrine. Conclusions are drawn using the method of scientific induction and deduction. The aim of this article is to explain the importance of intellectual property protection in today's technological age, where intellectual property can be created not only by people but also by technology.

Abstract Nowadays, experiential marketing is of great interest to researchers and practitioners. The use of experiential marketing helps to promote brands, because consumers take into account the experience when choosing a particular brand, product, service. Experiential marketing, which involves concepts such as satisfaction and loyalty, can influence the recommendation messages that customers distribute. With the rapid development of social media communication, the amount of recommendation messages in the Internet environment has also increased. This is also very relevant in the field of higher education. It is on social networks that loyal foreign students can share their impressions and experiences with other potential foreign students about Latvian universities and Latvia as a destination for higher education, thus becoming distributors of marketing messages. The aim of the research is to investigate how the experience of foreign students studying at a university in Latvia is reflected in their communication on social networks, and what is its connection with the formation of loyalty. Research methods: survey, descriptive analysis technique crosstabs, T‐Test. The study concludes that foreign message publishers have a higher average level of loyalty to the country of study than those who do not engage in such social network communication, as well as a higher average level of loyalty to their university. The potential of the recommendations in this group is quite high, and it can be used to promote the recognition of the country as an educational destination and its universities.

Abstract The goal of this research is to examine the advantages and limitations of compulsory family mediation (CFM) as well as to understand subjective experience and attitude towards CFM from the perspective of family dispute resolution practitioners in Australia. The qualitative research method was chosen for this research. Information was collected using the semi‐structured interview method. The data analysis method was based on inductive thematic analysis. In completion of the data analysis, 4 main themes were identified: CFM is better option for conflict resolution, limitations caused by factors outside of the process, mediators create safe space to process disputes & emotions, the benefits of CMF on mediators. Findings of this study suggest that the practice of CFM is worth being embraced and that there are benefits to be had from an increased use of compulsory family mediation, both for families and legal system in Australia. The practitioners are optimistic of compulsory family mediation, which they believe will enhance society’s quality of life. CFM also has benefited mediators’ personal lives by strengthening their personal values and beliefs, and how they perform their jobs as family mediators.

Abstract The Covid‐19 pandemic plunged the whole world into a protracted economic crisis, dealing a significant blow to all branches of human activity. Some areas have suffered serious losses, in particular, the tourism industry. This article discusses measures to restore and strengthen the tourism and hospitality sector after the pandemic in the Republic of Uzbekistan. A Safe Tourism program has been developed in the Republic of Uzbekistan; tourists will use tourist services, follow the sanitary and hygienic rules during trips. This project will provide travelling individually, choosing a destination and booking what they need during travelling online. The purpose of the article is to analyse the situation in the world and Uzbekistan as well, during the pandemic, as well as to develop practical measures to rehabilitate the tourism sector from the consequences of the economic crisis associated with the pandemic. New offers are being considered in the tourism market to attract tourists to our country. The primary attention in the paper is focused on the development of electronic platforms for the formation of "online tourism", architectural sights and monuments combining the history of different peoples and religious denominations. The article also provides information about alternative medicine, and lists of several of treatment methods used by our ancestors and actual nowadays. The report summarizes some of the study results, concluding that the tourism business of Uzbekistan needs to radically rethink existing business models through innovation and digitalization of tourism. Examples of the development of such market segments as agro and eco‐tourism are given. This segments are currently beginning to develop and are of interest to tourists. It is mentioned that Uzbekistan is among the top 10 countries in terms of security.

Abstract The aim of the e‐Justice strategy is to improve the implementation of the right to justice, cooperation between judicial authorities and the effectiveness of justice itself. Much attention has been paid to the computerization of court proceedings. Remote court hearings were recognized and described in the legal acts of the European Union and Lithuania already at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. However, this approach has not been widely used due to technical problems and insufficient regulation. The Covid‐19 pandemic affected all life and the economy. In order to preserve the human right to justice, not to interrupt the work of courts, remote court hearings were held. It has been found that in administrative justice, especially when organizing the work of quasi‐judicial structures, such hearings can be applied almost without problems. Therefore, the organization of remote meetings in administrative courts and quasi‐judicial organizations was continued during the non‐ quarantine year, depending on the wishes of the participants in the proceedings. However, the widespread use of teleconferencing and videoconferencing in the work of courts has identified the need to improve Lithuania’s legal framework. The article analyses the peculiarities of remote administrative procedure and legal regulation.
e - Justice战略的目标是改善司法权利的落实、司法当局之间的合作以及司法本身的有效性。法庭诉讼程序的计算机化受到了很大的关注。在21世纪第二个十年之初，欧洲联盟和立陶宛的法律文件已经承认并描述了远程法庭听证会。然而，由于技术问题和监管不足，这种方法并未得到广泛应用。Covid - 19大流行影响了所有人的生活和经济。为了维护诉诸司法的人权，不妨碍法院的工作，举行了远程法庭听证会。人们发现，在行政司法中，特别是在组织准司法结构的工作时，这种听证会几乎可以毫无问题地适用。因此，在非隔离年期间，行政法院和准司法组织继续组织远程会议，这取决于诉讼参与者的意愿。但是，由于在法院工作中广泛使用电话会议和视频会议，因此需要改进立陶宛的法律框架。本文分析了远程行政程序的特点和法律规制。

The General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter – the Regulation), which entered into force on 25 May 2018 and introduced a new legal framework for the protection of personal data in the European Union, also included a number of new rights, more precise definitions and improvements in the field of personal data protection. The three‐year period has shown that the Regulation has successfully replaced Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement ofsuch data, but the Covid‐19 pandemic posed the question: does the Regulation sufficiently define and explain how controllers should deal with the processing of sensitive data, or in situations where employees of companies and institutions work remotely? Data protection is a complex concept that can be analyzed from both a legal and a social point of view. Traditionally, data protection has been referred to as the protection of personal privacy in the context of processes involving the use of personal data. Prior to the implementation of the Regulation, the existing rules on the protection of personal data in the European Union were not sufficiently uniform and were implemented differently in each Member State. It contributed to the development and implementation of the Regulation, in the hope that it would modernize and promote a common data protection regime, while maintaining all the basic principles of data protection that have been followed so far.

{"title":"DEVELOPMENT OF THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION FRAMEWORK – WILL THE PANDEMIC BRING NEW CHANGES?","authors":"Marta Mackeviča","doi":"10.37804/1691-6077-2021-12-59-66","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37804/1691-6077-2021-12-59-66","url":null,"abstract":"The General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter – the Regulation), which entered into force on 25 May 2018 and introduced a new legal framework for the protection of personal data in the European Union, also included a number of new rights, more precise definitions and improvements in the field of personal data protection. The three‐year period has shown that the Regulation has successfully replaced Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement ofsuch data, but the Covid‐19 pandemic posed the question: does the Regulation sufficiently define and explain how controllers should deal with the processing of sensitive data, or in situations where employees of companies and institutions work remotely? Data protection is a complex concept that can be analyzed from both a legal and a social point of view. Traditionally, data protection has been referred to as the protection of personal privacy in the context of processes involving the use of personal data. Prior to the implementation of the Regulation, the existing rules on the protection of personal data in the European Union were not sufficiently uniform and were implemented differently in each Member State. It contributed to the development and implementation of the Regulation, in the hope that it would modernize and promote a common data protection regime, while maintaining all the basic principles of data protection that have been followed so far. Prior to the pandemic, the Regulation successfully achieved its original objectives, but hasthe pandemic necessitated a revision of the Regulation? This article will analyze the development of the legal framework for the protection of personal data and analyze the compliance of the Regulation with the requirements arising from the effects of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":226699,"journal":{"name":"Acta Prosperitatis","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122394831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
