The advancement of information technology and the digital economy pose a challenge that calls for developing specific legal approaches to comprehend phenomena such as marketplaces.

Some lawmakers...

The article offers and an analysis of breeding bird fauna of Kaliningrad incomparison to Polish and one Lithuania cities. A total of 168 species breed in the cities under consideration, 94 (57.7 %) of them are common for all cities. Jacquard's diversity index was used to assess the dependence of species compositionon the geographical location in 10 European cities. The Kaliningrad breeding bird fauna exhibits the greatest similarity with the avifauna of Poznan and the least similarity is with the...

The article is devoted to the development of a fundamental semiotic model of images that is based on the categorical apparatus of Ch. S. Peirce (on the concepts of Firstness, icon, hypoicon and metaphor). The image is proposed to be defined as a complex sign (two-level hypoicon- metaphor), which has a certain “primary” sign as its sign vehicle that represents the object constituted by all the facts (cases of semiosis) that are similar to that primary sign. Three key functions of the image are defined:...

Biologically active peptides are considered as preventive and therapeutic agents for vari­ous diseases. Due to the high cost and complexity of isolating native peptides for use in phar­maceuticals, synthetically produced peptides are increasingly being used in dietary supple­ments. The aim of the research is to confirm the similarity and biological activity of synthe­sized peptides compared to native peptides. Synthesized and native peptides from bovine co­lostrum with the code names T1.1 and mpT2...
