The environmental laws provide protection, good management, and conservation for the nature. The enforcement of said law does not mean stopping or negating development activities in the area. Progress must go on in accordance to agreed-upon development programs. Such developments, which in this case take place in Manado, need to take into account the impact towards the environment, in accordance to Environmental Protection and Management Act No. 32 of 2009 so as to not contaminate or compromise the life-supporting nature, both short-term and long term. For that purpose, developments in Manado must be executed with respect to sustainable, environmentally friendly development concepts, so development and natural conservation efforts can progress alongside each other.
Resale price maintenance (RPM), a form of vertical price fixing is the practice whereby manufacturers of brand-name or trademark goods stipulate and attempt to enforce minimum, maximum, or actual wholesale and retail prices of such goods as they progress through the distribution chain to the final consumers of said products.
In this research, we determined that the development of objects of entrepreneurial activity can take place only on condition of equal access to external and internal resources of development. Access to resources, as well as increasing work competitiveness, is defined as the possibility of forming an enterprise environment and its independent actions. The basis of such an environment is the formation of an information-type policy that allows fully determining the opportunities for attracting development resources, as well as improving the financial stability of the enterprise in the external market. The subject of the study is the process of the information policy of the enterprise formation, as well as the factors of its formation as a separate formative value for determining whether the enterprise is competitive. The novelty of the research is the process of formation and presentation in the various information and social and economic processes of the enterprise’s information policy. The direction of further research is the integrative functions of ensuring the development of accounting and transformation of information policy into the enterprise’s capital.
The article is devoted to the study of the concept and features of risks in entrepreneurship. The points of view of scientists concerning the concept of risks are analyzed, two main concepts of risk are outlined: classical and neoclassical. The focus is on several risk concepts in the context of the doctrine of objective liability for damages: integral risk theory, theory of spheres, risk-benefit theory. The article systemizes the existing approaches to the essence and content of such a phenomenon as a risk in entrepreneurship: (1) risk is interpreted as uncertainty, indeterminacy, attribute of decision-making in a situation of uncertainty; (2) the risk is defined as the probability of deviation of the actual result from the expected; (3) the risk arises as an activity; (4) the risk is treated as the threat (danger) of deviation of the results of specific decisions or actions from the expected; (5) risk is interpreted as a system (complex) of individual components and elements (integrated approach). Different points of view of researchers concerning the signs of entrepreneurial risks are considered, author's signs of risk in entrepreneurship are singled out. Two ways of further development of the economic legislation in the part of legal support of freedom of entrepreneurship, as well as risk inherent in it, business risk management, etc. are proposed.
Today, development is an integral part of the life of any company, including advertising. A distinctive feature of project-oriented companies is that they implement development activities through projects and programs, as well as apply a project approach to the implementation of current production advertising activities. Speaking of advertising, one should not forget that in the event of advertising on computer networks has become commonplace. Network advertising is not inferior to television, radio, or newspaper. With us, advertising on the networks is a new thing. In this study, it is accepted that during the entire life cycle, the advertising company/business develops either along the path of progress or the path of regression (the second half of the life cycle). For example, for a multidisciplinary company, some advertising businesses, reducing the size of existing advertising businesses, restructuring, etc., i.e. measures of regressive nature, can be aimed at positive qualitative changes – for better adaptation to the market, for higher competitiveness due to faster response to changes in the environment and etc. Thus, the entire life cycle of the company is a process of development, which is provided in the form of a sequence of advertising projects and programs of development of advertising business. And today, many companies, including the advertising industry, can be identified as project-oriented.
Having a clean and pollution-free environment is one of the most important rights of humans. Such a right has been recognized by national and international covenants, so laws have been devoted to protecting them and preventing infringement of their components and elements, because of the importance they constitute at the level of human life. As a result of the increasing assault on the environment and the gravity of the infringement of its elements, the legislator intervened in all countries (including the Jordanian legislator), to lay down the rules regulating the protection thereof and punishing the perpetrators of environmental crimes through deterrent measures and appropriate penalties. Therefore, this research will shed light on the criminal provisions decided by the Jordanian legislator in the Environmental Protection Law No. 6 of 2017, especially in terms of the penalties decided by the legislator on the perpetrators of environmental crimes, with the aim of embodying the criminal and legal protection of the environment. As the aim of this article is to clarify and clarify the position of the Jordanian legislator regarding the penal protection of the environment, we have used the descriptive and analytical approach to reach the results. The article concluded that the Environmental Protection Law stipulated several crimes to protect the environment in its various forms, but the legislator did not put in place precautionary measures prior to the occurrence of the crime, and on the other hand, the provisions laid down by the legislator are still scattered and need a general rooting for all environmental crimes.
The research considers the phased development of industrial cooperation among the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. The authors analyze the main regulatory documents and trends in the expansion of cooperation among the Union's industrial enterprises. Particular attention is paid to cooperation in the industry. The authors have calculated the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, which reflects the rank coincidence rate of the commodity items in mutual trade. The calculations have allowed to reveal that an increase in the rank coincidence rate of commodity items in the mutual exports indicated the predominant development of mutual trade in goods of one commodity group, i.e. the deepening of intra-industry cooperation and the stimulating effect of this cooperation on the growth of mutual trade.
The subject of the research is transport logistics, namely, a complex of factors affecting it, grouped by risk, and advantages by type of transport when carrying out transportation of any modality. The purpose of the study is the development of a factor model in transport logistics, that is, a universal methodology for assessing the risks of each shipment, taking into account the advantages of the types of transport used and the combination of cargo vehicles. The main method used in the work is factor analysis. The study also uses methods of generalization, ranking, weight fractions and comparative analysis. It is shown that 24 factors grouped in the work by risk level have an impact on transport logistics; 11 groups of advantages by types of transport have been identified. The formula for assessing the overall risk of transportation is universal, it confirms the theoretical conclusions of researchers in the field of logistics and provides objective results for specific types of transportation. The most and least risky types of freight transport are identified. The possibilities of the factor model in transport logistics are shown. The results of the study can be used by suppliers and carriers to assess the potential efficiency of cargo transportation, as well as by logistics researchers to improve the methodology of factorial transport assessment. The reserves have been identified for the development of the model based on the mutual influence and factor structure.
The research analyzes the possible application and effectiveness of a monetary penalty as one of the most useful sanctions to maintain the established order of criminal justice, as well as develops constructive proposals to improve the criminal procedure legislation based on the conducted survey. To this end, the authors of the article have studied the criminal procedure legislation of Kazakhstan and legislation on administrative offenses, considered scientific opinions presented in numerous publications on relevant topics and conducted a comparative analysis of regulatory systems in Kazakhstan, Germany, Austria, the USA and the UK. As a result, the authors have established that one of the main reasons hindering the adequate implementation of criminal justice is the violation of obligations to participate in criminal proceedings by persons named in the Criminal Procedure Code of Kazakhstan. To maintain procedural discipline, the court is provided with ample opportunities in the form of coercive measures, including a monetary penalty. The authors have investigated the legal nature of a monetary penalty and compared it with administrative fines. The authors have considered grounds and application procedures for this sanction in the criminal procedure legislation of Kazakhstan and some foreign legal systems. The authors have determined the problems of its implementation caused by the slovenly legislation of a monetary penalty that impedes law enforcement activity. A comprehensive analysis allows developing proposals for improving the use of monetary penalties as measures of coercion for criminal cases heard in the court. If these proposals are enshrined in the existing regulatory framework and put into practice, they will strengthen the discipline of parties to criminal proceedings, ensure the strict observance of criminal proceedings and increase their general effectiveness. Due to its conclusions and proposals, the article demonstrates the novelty of the conducted research, the authors' original approach to the analysis of information and innovative ways to improve the existing legislative framework.
The research examines the issues related to the influence of confessional and migration factors on the processes of the integrated territorial development in the Russian Federation. The analysis of the documents of strategic planning of socio-economic and demographic territorial development employed the methods of cultural and religious studies as well as socio-cultural, comparative legal and formal legal methods in the framework of the dialectic approach. The research reveals a correlation between the destruction of socio-economic development processes and the demographic stagnation factor. An analysis of potential threats to sociopolitical stability as a result of the intensification of migration processes and the activities of religious institutions in the East Siberian region is given. It is concluded that the confessional factor potentially plays a destabilizing role in the implementation of federal targeted programs aimed at the integration of Russian society.
Authors of this research analyze specific features of application of the Order of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) No. 220 in respect of determination of commodity boundaries of the market and creation of necessary conditions for competition in the mineral wool market. Preliminary determination of the commodities, which was carried out on the basis of analysis of the All-Russian classifiers of products and kinds of economic activity, has shown that in the course of determination of the merchandise market it is necessary to include glass wool, slag wool, and stone wool into one and the same commodity group. Due to the complexity of performance of the comprehensive and representative expert investigation, it is possible to utilize the data of the RF FAS research, which was carried already. Authors of this article describe specific features of determination of the merchandise market through the example of such commodities as ‘the glass wool goods’: this market was subject to analysis of the RF FAS in 2017. Selection of the investigation methods is to be made on the basis of the investigation periods and accessibility of information (among other factors).
The research presents an attempt to elaborate an economic and organizational mechanism for innovative development of the food industry in the current conditions of sanctions and import substitution. The objective of this study is to provide a coherent methodology for developing an economic and organizational mechanism for innovative development of the food industry. In term of methods, the article is based on a system approach to assessing the current condition and identifying the issues related to innovative development of food industry enterprises, as well as a comparative analysis of management principles in the Russian food industry. The article provides an algorithm for effective cooperation between government and business – food industry enterprises – based on a wide range of methods of dialectical logic, binning, comparative and abstract-logical analysis. The results of this article can be used both in theory and practice regarding the development of tools for innovative development of food industry enterprises. Moreover, they can be used to advance scientific methods for improving competitiveness, investment attractiveness and economic resilience of food processing enterprises in the environment of increased innovative activity.

The methods for identifying differences in the buying motives in online and offline trade are developed based on a theoretical analysis of approaches to the customer segmentation and their dependence on its purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify differences in the buying motives in online and offline trade and to substantiate the feasibility of conducting behavioral segmentation in order to identify such differences. The empirical research results are based on the quantitative marketing research (polls). The buying motives in offline and online sales channels were studied in several stages. The key advantages of offline and online sales channels were identified in terms of customer perception at the first stage. The following advantages were identified in offline and online trade: high quality guaranteed by the seller for buyers with high incomes; accessibility as the speed and convenience of access, price acceptability for buyers with average and below average incomes; and the breadth, depth, and updateability of the product range for all groups. The buying motives in offline and online trade were identified as factors that encouraged buying at the second stage. The polls have shown that key motives for customers to opt for offline sales channels are related to the perception of the aggregate properties of products that exceed the properties of similar products in online sales channels. The main reasons for buying through online sales channels are the following key indicators that determine the quality of the buying service: convenience and speed of purchasing, speed of delivery, and convenient time to receive an order. This study allowed to develop a model for studying the consumer behavior in order to identify the key rational and emotional motives of buying through online and offline sales channels. The information component of this model was based on the marketing research involving the sequential implementation of the following stages: studying the market trends in order to identify changes in the motives of consumer behavior; selecting segmentation criteria and carrying out marketing research; identifying the key benefits of offline and online sales channels in terms of customer perception; identifying and grouping the key motives that guided customers when choosing a channel for buying; identifying the causes of changes in the rational and emotional motives of consumer behavior; and developing and implementing the marketing communications programs that implied an impact on the emotional and rational motives.
Purpose: to reveal the characteristics of unfair competition in the intellectual property market in the Russian Federation and abroad and propose measures to combat such competition. Main results: Recommendations are presented for improving the methods for combating unfair competition in the intellectual property market. The authors propose methods which can be implemented by means of copyright protection both in the market as a whole and on the Internet, by combating trademark and service mark infringers. Besides, in order to curb unfair competition in the market, possible methods are proposed for changing the registration of domain names that allow protecting rights on the Internet. Main conclusions: In practice, there is a problem when declaring goods that contain intellectual property items). There is no registry making it possible to search for content, and search using graphic images is also difficult. In order to reduce unfair competition, it is proposed to improve the filling procedure by adding a column indicating the international registry, as well as to create a separate registry with a verbal description of images to facilitate the search. In accordance with this system, it is necessary to improve it regarding errors that are often made when filling out forms. At present, a single mistake can become a reason why the item is not selected. Solving these problems can increase control and effectiveness in terms of intellectual property protection. In most countries, unfair competition is prohibited at the legislative level. However, with the development of economic relations, the methods of unfair competition are continuously improving and becoming more and more subtle and sophisticated.
The research defines the concepts of clearing and clearing activity. It explores the models of the clearing institutions’ organizational structure in EU countries. It also outlines the directions for the settlement and clearing infrastructure reform based on the diversification of the settlement and clearing functions. It should ensure the integrity of the stock market, the reduction of risks, the creation of an efficient and transparent system for the execution of transactions with securities; reduction of expenses of market participants; acceleration of payment terms for operations with securities and process of registration of property rights; differentiation of responsibility at different stages of performance of transactions. The author has defined the legal status of the Financial Settlements Center as a banking institution with a special legal personality of the conducting monetary settlements under transactions concerning securities and other financial instruments, made on the stock exchange and outside the stock exchange, if payments are made according to the principle of ‘supply against payment’. The study shows the need for the universal model of settlements to serve all the exchange markets. We offer to demonopolize the market of clearing services and to provide access for international clearing institutions. We also suggest transferring the settlement function to the Central Depositary and the clearing function – to clearing institutions.
The aim of this study is to establish the legal status quo of cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation. The hypothesis presented by this study requires a profound reference to existing and proposed legislation as well as to the statements of a number of international, supranational and national regulatory bodies. This study uses qualitative research methods, and primarily consists of descriptive research. Doctrinal and comparative law research also lie at the very heart of this paper as they enable the author to identify, analyze and synthesize a number of foreign (incl. EU), and Russian laws. As a result, the emergence of new institutions and the modernization of existing ones, based on new technological breakthroughs, undoubtedly affect the already existing institutions that are under the influence of changes. Money, which is at the heart of finance, already loses its material forms of expression and regulating properties, alternative tools emerge in the economy that are ready to act as alternatives to this traditional institution. The alternative to money and monetary mechanisms will affect the basic instrument for regulating economic relations and the financial system of the state as a whole - a monopoly on the issue of currency. The nature of cryptocurrency, its features do not make it possible to attribute it entirely either to the means of payment, or to securities, or property. In the existing international community, cryptocurrency lacks a single focal point. Only a progressive view and modern legal regulation of cryptocurrency will create conditions for the development of legal and, most importantly, safe relations in the field of cryptocurrency.

The paper actualizes the issues of combating drug trafficking using the Internet on the example of Ukraine. Given the significant difference in the approach to this issue among Ukrainian and foreign scientists, this allowed to carry out a multifaceted analysis. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive study (criminological and forensic) on the use of the Internet in the commission of crimes related to drug trafficking, on the example of Ukraine. Profiling was used as the main method. The novelty of this work is the extrapolation of the method of profiling cybercriminals to persons who commit illicit drug distribution using the Internet in Ukraine as a special category of cybercriminals. The specific objectives of the study are: to study the characteristics of an offender who commits crimes related to drug trafficking via the Internet using the method of profiling; study of typical investigative situations that arise when committing crimes related to drug trafficking on the Internet; development of comprehensive recommendations for combating this group of crimes, taking into account both the identity of an offender and investigative situations that most often arise in practice. Based on the study, the article conducted (using secondary data) profiling of people who distribute drugs using the Internet in Ukraine. The profiling also includes a comprehensive portrait of such a criminal, which includes both socio-demographic and psychological characteristics of this category of criminals, studied their motivation, conducted a study of the victimological aspect and features of the study of evidence in this category of crimes.
Currently, organ trafficking occupies a leading position among transnational organized criminal groups due to the high demand for illegal services and the relatively low rates of detection of illegal actions by law enforcement agencies. In this context, the purpose of the paper was to conduct a comparative analysis of the foundations of the legal regulation of criminal liability for organ trafficking and trafficking in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, and the European Union to form scientifically substantiated conclusions and suggestions for improving existing national legislation. To achieve this purpose, general scientific and special methods were used. The study also uncovers vectors and substantiates the feasibility of implementing EU legislation in the field of organ trafficking and trafficking in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, predicts the prospects for improving legal regulation on the subject matter and outlined the priority actions of legislative bodies. At the same time, promising areas of research in this matter are the issues of punishability of such acts and the appointment of the appropriate punishment. Furthermore, the creation of a highly regulated transplantation system at the national level was proposed, which is to be managed by a national transplantation authority with broad oversight powers. The creation of such a centralised competent authority will ensure the implementation of the scope of measures that would effectively reduce the risk of organ trafficking and trafficking and protect potential victims.
