This article examines the experience of addressing the gender issue in countries formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since the national and historical characteristics of all independent states are markedly different, the purpose of the paper is to study the challenges that women had to face, to identify the positive experience of the decision in each case as well as to identify the general trends of such decisions. On the basis of statistical data published by the competent authorities of both the independent states themselves and the Economic Commission for Europe, an analysis was made of such key parameters of equality as employment, average wages, level of access to information, the relative number of representatives in leadership positions in state institutions and representative offices in national parliaments, as well as the general trend of legislative initiatives designed to combat discrimination against women. As a result of the analysis of the dynamics of indicators, the leading states in solving the gender issue were identified, and an assessment was made of the development of this area in the future. This analysis led to the conclusion that the transition of women’s rights issues to the plane of public discourse, the absence of silence concerning the problem, as well as the observance of voting rights are a guarantee of a significant reduction in the level of discrimination in society. The practical significance of the research lies in identifying the leading countries where the gender issue has been resolved positively, as well as formulating recommendations based on their experience for countries where the gender balance is still not respected, which will lead to a general strengthening of the protection of women’s rights.

The rapid development of Ukraine towards European integration implies the existence of a high-quality and effective legal framework that guarantees the safeguarding of fundamental rights and liberties. Given this, it is necessary to clarify the essence of building a social state and the principles underlying it. The objective of the study was to investigate the main postulates of building a social state and their normative consolidation in national legislation. The following methods were used in the study of the issue: historical, system, modelling, analysis, and synthesis, comparative, statistical. The study’s findings were intended to ascertain how the idea of creating a social state developed on the territory of Ukraine and other states, and how this concept was reflected in modern countries. The paper examines the basic principles underlying the construction of a social state and their constitutional consolidation; which essential liberties and rights of an individual or citizen are protected by the way the idea of a social state operates, etc. Statistical data on life satisfaction indicators of people in different countries are also provided in light of different methods of social policy implementation. Various models and options for further building a social state on the territory of Ukraine are presented, considering the current situation associated with a full-scale war. The paper describes the experience of European countries in successfully reforming the social sphere, in particular, Denmark, Switzerland, etc. The authors also present a model of the social state of the future, taking into account the changing needs of society, digitalisation, well-being, etc. The outcomes can be applied to further enhance Ukraine’s social policy legislation by lawyers, sociologists, and scientists.

The relevance of the study is due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine with the use of brutal and aggressive actions, which entail consequences in the form of a large psychological impact on the health of the population, especially the military. The purpose of the article is to determine the most favourable programs for adapting the military to civilian life, which can be distinguished using a comparative analysis of the experience of different countries. During the research, a number of such methods were used, such as the theoretical method, the method of comparative analysis, the functional method, the method of logical analysis, the method of deduction, and others. It was determined that it is important to apply the experience of Great Britain and the United States during the development of adaptation programs, since a feature of the policy of these countries is the use of the labour potential of servicemen released into the reserve, which is characterized by high efficiency. The main directions during the implementation of adaptation programs in the analysed countries are cultural and socially significant events, providing veterans with preferential medical care, assistance in training according to their own unique programs, in employment, as well as providing assistance to the families of military personnel. An analysis of Ukraine's experience was carried out, in accordance with which the contents of such programs of military adaptation to civilian life as “NATO-Ukraine” and “Ukraine-Norway”. It was determined that they are characterized by high efficiency, which is due to significant results and the implementation of programs in difficult conditions, which pose complex tasks.

Access to information in today’s world is unprecedentedly easy thanks to the Internet and social media. However, this also creates information overload and the threat of disinformation. Critical thinking is becoming a key skill for sifting reliable information from fakes and manipulations, which makes this topic relevant. The research aims to determine the role of critical thinking in ensuring the information security of the population in the modern world. The study used the methods of analysis, systematisation, synthesis, and generalisation. The study confirmed that critical thinking is an important factor in the field of information security of the population, and also examined the main aspects of critical thinking and its components, including analysis of information sources, fact-checking, contextual understanding, bias research, formulation of critical questions and self-assessment. The study also thoroughly analyses the key aspects of critical thinking skills and considers the concept of Team-Based Learning (TBL), which is an active approach to education aimed at stimulating students’ critical thinking and engaging them in an active learning process. The results of the study highlight the peculiarities and importance of developing critical thinking skills in the Ukrainian population, especially in the context of the ongoing war with Russia, as the war manifests itself not only on the military front but also in the information space, and therefore the development of critical thinking becomes an important element in protecting national interests and information security. The results of the study can be used by researchers to develop specific recommendations and strategies to increase the level of critical thinking among the population and improve information security.

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the urgent need to urgently fill the suddenly emerging legal gaps caused by the expansion of the powers of non-governmental organizations that have been actively involved in the process of assisting combatants. The study aims to solve an important pragmatic problem: to ensure legal harmonization of procurement with the highest productivity and lowest legal and financial risks. The study uses a synthesis of general scientific, legal and sociological-legal approaches, methods, and techniques of scientific knowledge. As a result of the work carried out, the author managed to rethink the legal status of things as objects of civil rights in the light of the latest military realities. The legal algorithm of procurement of military and dual-use goods by non-governmental organizations is clarified; a parallel is drawn with the procurement procedure carried out by the relevant state-owned enterprises. The author comprehends the phenomenon of a trade mission in general and a trade mission burdened with a foreign element in the field of foreign economic activity in particular. The author analyses the conflict of laws clauses which can resolve the contradictions of counterparties in an international sale and purchase agreement. The author suggests ways for further scientific research in this area of research. The author structures the mechanism by which representatives of the public sector, including charitable organizations and foundations, may obtain licences for the purchase of military and dual-use goods for the army. It is argued that in practice, since the beginning of hostilities, these organizations, and foundations have been creating a worthy alternative to the State defence sector. These developments, in addition to their pragmatic significance, are also characterized by a certain theoretical significance, since they can be used for scientific research and solving problems in the field of property rights, the law of non-governmental organizations, foreign economic activity, as well as for developing and improving training courses in the field of civil, humanitarian and international law.

In the light of globalization, gender equality is increasingly becoming an important social issue. Gender equality in Uzbekistan has improved as a result of rapid urbanization and globalization. Gender relations in Uzbekistan have a number of unique aspects due to historical, cultural, religious and national factors. This calls for a study of gender equality issues and the search for appropriate and useful administrative, political and legal frameworks to incorporate this idea into the Uzbek legal system. The creation and ratification of relevant national and international legal mechanisms in Uzbekistan’s law enforcement practice is one of the possible ways to address this issue. The purpose of the study is to examine the international and national legal framework for the principle of gender equality that has already been incorporated or will be incorporated into the political and legal system of Uzbekistan in the near future. To achieve this goal, the author used a combination of special legal research methods (legal modelling, systemic and structural, formal legal, comparative legal) and philosophical, general scientific and special scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction and generalization). The problems of observance of the principle of gender equality were considered in the light of national, religious and historical traditions of Uzbekistan. The study of the problems of gender imbalance in Uzbekistan made it possible to analyses the key areas of its implementation through regulatory and law enforcement activities. Practical proposals for improving existing laws and policies aimed at ensuring gender equality have been identified. The problems of gender equality of women in Uzbekistan were identified in connection with the country’s unique social formation and religion. On this basis, the directions of their eradication from science have been identified.

The presented issue is relevant because it calls for a thorough analysis of both the theoretical and practical aspects of guaranteeing land's inviolability in order to identify the critical elements that must be taken into account when putting legislative measures into place to guarantee the inviolability of private property in the context of contemporary economic conditions. The aim of the research is to consider practical and theoretical aspects of ensuring the inviolability of land as an integral component of land ownership relations. The combination of systematic analysis of the features of legislative acts constructed in various countries, which determine various aspects of solving issues of protecting the inviolability of property, with an analytical investigation of the practical implementations of these provisions, forms the basis of the methodological approach to this study. The findings of the study indicate the importance of clear regulation of the protection of the inviolability of property by current legislative provisions and the need to implement these provisions in everyday practice when resolving disputes on determining the principles of inviolability of property and its protection in individual cases. The authors suggest supplementing the current legislation of Ukraine with a number of provisions for better regulation of land ownership relations. The results obtained in the study and the conclusions formulated on their basis are essential for establishing the key principles that determine the inviolability of property and can be used in planning changes to the current legislation on the specific features of ensuring the inviolability of property as well as determining the degree of punishment for its violation.

The research relevance is determined by the need to review the regulatory aspects of the digitalisation of civil litigation in the Kyrgyz Republic, given the complex set of problems that exist in this area. The main objective of the study is to analyse the digital civil litigation in China with the prospect of extracting positive experience for possible implementation in Kyrgyzstan. The methods of statistical analysis, analogy, generalisation, as well as formal-legal and formal-logical approaches are used in the study. As a result of the analysis of the peculiarities of legal regulation of online civil proceedings in China, modern mechanisms of this regulation are found to contribute to maintaining stability and improving the efficiency of the judicial system. The scientific research confirms the fundamental concept that the integration of information technologies into the processes of legal proceedings does not affect the fundamental concepts of the theory of judicial evidence. Nevertheless, the analysis also identified significant risks associated with this process, such as an increase in the number of court cases, potential distortion of the nature of judicial activity, and other aspects. This study provides a conceptual approach to facilitating access to justice through the digital transformation of court procedures. This approach includes the use of information and telecommunication technologies and remote alternative dispute resolution methods such as online mediation and online dispute resolution systems. Special attention is paid to the need to consider the interests of all parties when introducing artificial intelligence into the judicial system. The study of different points of view allows for a deeper understanding of the complexity of this process and identifies possible ways to improve civil litigation in the context of digitalisation in Kyrgyzstan. The findings of the study are of potential value for the implementation of China's positive experience in the context of the digitalisation of civil litigation in Kyrgyzstan.

Globalisation and the development of new trends lead to the emergence of innovative tools for influencing the public; today, such tools are the mass media. Media is an important element of interaction between the authorities and society in the context of forming the necessary opinion on events and phenomena occurring in a particular historical period. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features and specifics of the functioning of mass media in Ukraine by examining the social communication and legal aspects of media activity in a historical context. The main method of research was the system and analytical method, by which the key characteristics and basic signs of the dynamics of the formation and development of Ukrainian media are considered, the specifics of the process of media influence on public opinion in Ukraine are outlined, and the prospects for the development of the direction in the future are presented. The essence and content of the concept of mass media, the history of its origin and general global trends in the development of the direction were analysed. The characteristic features of the transformation of the media sphere in independent Ukraine are identified, and the basic features and trends of the main types of media are summarised. The level and intensity of influence of certain media tools on public opinion in Ukraine were investigated. Based on the results obtained, the prospects for the evolution of mass media in Ukraine in the future are outlined; the main threats and challenges to further development in the context of the transformation of the social and communication sphere of social development are listed.

Public opinion management is reflected in a balanced approach to the information policy of the country, where the rationalistic outlook of the community promotes the social, economic, and political development of the state values. The formation of an individual’s political consciousness is subject to the influence of the information space in which they live, and this poses the relevance of investigating the issue of managing and defining disinformation at the stage of rapid digitalisation of society. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the specifics of the development of patterns of political behaviour and consciousness of an individual in the process of forming a public stance in the context of socio-psychological, informational, and political determinants. The basis of the theoretical and methodological approach in this study was a combination of qualitative methods of systematic analysis of the specifics of psychological factors shaping political views and community behaviour, as well as content analysis of countering disinformation at the current stage of development of society. Furthermore, several surveys were conducted regarding the views and perceptions of the population on information in the media space in the country. The article also presents data that reflect the issue of the psychological phenomenon of society, in particular political judgments, moods, needs and motives of people, which are the result of social and political relations and are realised in a certain political behaviour and actions of both an individual and society as a whole. This article discusses the issues of combating disinformation in the digital space of the state and ways to improve the information literacy of the population. The results of the research are of practical value for educational, social, and psychological organisations that have a direct impact on the formation of legal behaviour and a conscious attitude to information processes in the digital space.
