Introduction: Finding an optimal model for the development and functioning of the health care system is an important aspect for most economically developed countries. The aim of this article is to comprehensively study the problems of functioning of complementary (alternative) medicine, to identify the main tendencies of its development in some foreign countries and specific features of its application in Ukraine. Materials and methods: During the research the authors have used theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, etc.) and empirical methods (observation, classification, etc.) of scientific research. Review: The conducted study provides grounds for arguing that complementary (alternative) medicine in various forms exists in most countries of the world and is promoted by the World Health Organization (hereafter – WHO). However, the legal regulation of complementary medicine and its interaction with the traditional medicine are significantly different. It has been established that a significant part of patients use alternative methods of treatment, neglecting the information interaction with the attending physician. The authors have revealed the shortcomings of permitting procedures concerning the activity of healers, the result of which there are many fraud cases in this sphere. Conclusions: The authors have proved the necessity of improving the legislative base for the regulation of complementary medicine, integration of alternative methods into official medicine, improvement of the system of professional training of physicians, determination of the volume of usefulness and benefits of medical aid by alternative methods, expansion of international cooperation and exchange of experience with foreign specialists practicing the use of complementary medicine.

The historical principles of the constitutional and legal reform of the administrative and territorial organizationin Ukraine and the Republic of Poland are studied, analyzing the constitutional legislation of both countries, the implementation of the reforms, and the existing scientific approaches. The possibilities of applying the Polish experience of constitutional modelling of the territorial organization in Ukraine are determined. Attention is paid to the main directions of reform the system of administrative and territorial organization in Ukraine and Poland at different stages of their historical development. It is noted that each period of reform to the administrative and territorial organization of these states is characterized by a different attitude towards local self-government. This allowed to outline the models of the system of administrative and territorial organization in Ukraine and Poland and to clarify their common and specific features.

Information as a certain terminological concept of evolutionary nature and interdisciplinary significance is analyzed. At the same time, given the objectives of the study, it is considered as an object that requires proper legal understanding and appropriate regulatory (primarily constitutional and legal) regulation. The role of information as one of the main resources used by a person in the process of his activity is noted. The purpose and objectives of the study are to clarify the meaning of the term "information" in different periods of its evolution. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fragmentary nature of previous studies and involves new knowledge about the periodization of the evolution of the content of the term "information" and the specification of the content of this term in different temporal periods. The urgency and importance of studying the issue of information in our country is emphasized given that Ukraine is in a state of constant information war with the Russian Federation, which is quite active and aggressive in using information as a weapon of mass destruction against the territorial integrity and state security of Ukraine. The basic approaches to understanding of this term taking into account branch delimitation of scientific knowledge are defined. The importance of the category "information" for jurisprudence is emphasized, because information is actually enshrined in law about the limits of what is allowed and the algorithms of human and state activities. The tools of modern legal methodology are used in the work, in particular formal legal, historical legal, systemic, logical semantic, method of analysis and synthesis, etc. At the same time, the dialectical method is the basis for the analysis of the nature of information as a multifaceted phenomenon. Emphasis is placed on the multivariate perception of information as an object of legal regulation. It is argued that the legislative definition of the term "information" should represent public policy not only in terms of generally binding, but also in compliance with the existing state and legal system, which is organically correlated with the need to use a cybernetic approach to public administration. It is concluded that it is impossible to determine the status of human thought as a form of information in today's conditions, as this may be the first step towards violation of immunity of the personal "inner world" of a human.

The provisions of international standards of human right to an adequate standard of living and their impact on national legislation have been investigated. It has been emphasized that since Ukraine gained independence and up to now the issue of ensuring a sufficient standard of living has remained one of the most problematic for our state. European integration processes, which provide for the modernization of Ukraine’s socio-economic policy towards improving the quality of life of each person, also increase the need for scientific research. It has been emphasized on the relevance and importance of studying the issues of regulation of the right to an adequate standard of living in view of the existing social problems, which have become much more acute with the beginning of the full-scale war of Russia against our country and have a huge negative impact on the living standards of Ukrainian citizens. The purpose and objectives of the study are to analyze the provisions of international standards of the right to an adequate standard of living and to find the best ways to implement international standards of this right in the legislation of Ukraine in modern conditions, to determine further prospects for their development. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the lack of scientific analysis of the armed aggression impact on the right to an adequate standard of living realization and provides proposals for the effective implementation of international standards in the field of protection of the human right to an adequate standard of living in national legislation, taking into account these aspects. Modern methods of scientific research have been used, in particular formal and legal, historical and legal, systemic, logical and semantic, analysis and synthesis, etc. At the same time, the analysis of the right to an adequate standard of living has been based on the dialectical method, the use of which made it possible to understand doctrinal and normative sources in the researched area, to find out the content of the human right to an adequate standard of living both at the international and national levels and its essential characteristics. It has been concluded that even in the conditions of war, the state should take measures aimed at preventing the decline in the living standards of its citizens below a sufficient level. It has been proven that the national legislation is primarily aimed at maintaining the minimum standard of living of a person, which largely diverges from concrete steps in the sphere of ensuring a decent standard of living of the population.
