Abstract: This study examines the professional actions of health workers during the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic from the point of view of criminological assessment in the context of labor relations. With the help of political and legal analysis and a comparative legal method, the work considers the international practice of assessing the actions of medical workers from the standpoint of criminal responsibility, political and legal initiatives concerning the protection of the rights of medical workers during the spread of a pandemic and quarantine measures. This study argues for significantly broader criminal immunity for health workers during a pandemic. At the same time, the study gives grounds to assert that today the lack of sufficient empirical data and research complicates an objective assessment of the offender. At the same time, based on the results of this study, it is suggested that in the near future the number of investigations and appeals to the court on issues related to the professional activities of medical workers carried out during the spread of the pandemic will increase..

Keywords: Criminal liability, health worker, labor law, pandemic, patient, professional competence.

Abstract: In the modern world, cybercrime in the field of payment processing as a phenomenon is developing rapidly. Highly developed, developing and least-developed states become victims of cyberattacks. The purpose of this study is to analyze the experience of the international community and a number of states in combating cybercrime in the field of payment processing. International and regional (on the example of the Council of Europe) legal regulation of the fight against this type of crime were analyzed. The data on the size of losses caused by cybercrime to the world economy are analyzed according to the latest report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies for 2018, the World Economic Forum for 2019, DLA Piper GDPR for the period January-April 2020. Besides, using the example of the Russian Federation, quantitative indicators of the growth of cybercrime and the level of its detection for the period from 2018 to April 2020 were investigated. Comparison of the experience of individual states and its analysis made it possible to single out the best possible measures to counter cybercrime in the field of financial processing. The necessity of interstate cooperation to counter cybercrime in the field of payment processing is indicated. However, due to the presence of significant differences in the legal systems of all states, it is proposed to interact within the framework of regional communities with gradual transfer to international interaction. The priority is given to precisely preventive measures to counter cybercrime in the field of payment processing.

Keywords: Cybercrime, cybersecurity, Internet technologies, payment processing, preventive measures against cybercrime.

Abstract: PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat is the company that manages a regional football team in Indonesia, the Persib Bandung Football Team. The company already has a merchandise store for the football team, but PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat needs to open a store that is suitable for Persib supporters’ desires. This study aims to discover whether or not building a new PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat merchandise store is financially feasible for PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat. As a result of this study, this project is shown to be financially feasible because this project will be profitable for the company and give a good return. The NPV of this project is positive and the Profitability Index of this project is greater than one. IRR is greater than the Cost of Capital, and Discounted Payback Period is faster than the time projection of this project. However, one thing that needs to be monitored is that the company should maintain the COGS of this project in order to make certain the COGS do not change too much from the current assumptions that are used in this financial projection. A slight change of COGS will have a big impact on the profit of this project. The company also should ensure that the Target Market Growth of this project is not less than 3,20% because it will make this project unprofitable.

Abstract: In recent years, there have been significant changes in the conditions of oil production leading to an increase in its cost and wasteful use of resources. This necessitates the search for a system of adaptive factors that can adapt to environmental changes, affect the cost reduction and increase in the efficiency of oil and gas fields. Studies show that this problem needs to be solved on the basis of the creation of digital oil or gas fields being digital counterparts of existing enterprises, which allow preserving nature and use resources economically due to the existing field development at a new qualitative level. However, the transformation of existing fields through their transformation into digital oil or gas fields requires serious justification, and above all, from a financial and economic points of view. At the same time, one should in no case ignore the natural factor contributing to saving, restoring the used oil and gas resources and preserving the external space being the human environment. The purpose of this study is to develop recommendations for assessing the economic efficiency of the implementation of the project concerning a digital oil or gas field being a digital twin of oil or gas enterprise, and their use in practice. Such an assessment will be carried out based on the analysis of the ratio between capital investments and operating costs necessary to create a digital oil or gas field, as well as by comparing the expected costs and benefits derived from its use.

Keywords: Digitalization, digital oil or gas field, digital twin of a field, adaptive factors, digital technologies, economic efficiency.
