The main purpose of the paper is to analyse the methodological framework for state regulation and public administration of the health care sector in the post-Soviet countries (the case of Ukraine). Methodology. This study combines economic, legal, and managerial analysis of Ukrainian healthcare system. In this study, a complex of the general scientific and special research methods was used to achieve the goal of the study. The method of historical and logical analysis of the literature was used. The functional and structural analysis was used with the purpose to research the state regulation of public relations in health care. Methods of comparative and statistical analysis and their synthesis were used to study the dynamics of development of legal basis in the health care sector. Method of summarization was used to make conclusions and recommendations for optimizing state regulation policy in Ukrainian health care. Scientific works of national and foreign scientists in the sphere of state regulation of health care sphere, national and international legal documents were used as the informational basis for the conducted research. Findings. In the paper, international basis for the formation of the Ukrainian state regulation mechanism is defined. The conceptual basis of state regulation mechanism is analysed.

The importance of increasing the level of renewable energy sources is connected with the fact that its share in the total volume of energy consumption is still insufficient. This is why this article focuses on the development of the motivation system aimed at the more active transition to renewable sources consumption in the balanced combination alongside the traditional sources. The research question is whether digital public goods (DPG) may be a mean to support "Affordable and Clean Energy'' use. The theoretical approach to our research problem is stakeholder's theory, while the concept applied to the motivation mechanism implementation is the United Nations Organization's concept of sustainable development goals (SDG). The research design is as follows: study of the actual data of energy structure of the world economy; identification of the current instruments of renewable energy distribution; analysis of the DPG as a perspective form of the sustainable energy behavior introduced [AO1] in the digitalized environment; definition of the energy industry stakeholders; development of the architecture of energy consumption by DPG application to reach SDG "Affordable and Clean Energy". The main findings of the study are that DPG has been found to be a relevant means for the motivation and support of sustainable energy behavior through the architecture of energy consumption, based on research and development, customer relationship management, corporate social responsibility -sustainable development, technical implementation, and the diversity of traditional and alternative sources of energy.

Energy consumption is managed to some degree in different countries. If the government is interested in reducing the energy poverty and increasing the energy consumption, it provides enough energy access for all consumers. However, sometimes, in order to regulate the energy market properly, the government should pursue other goals, i.e., political, economic, or even fiscal. This study aims to figure out how the new natural gas policy of Ukrainian government reflects on the main stakeholders’ incomes and expenses: the profits of domestic gas companies; the expenses of the four main groups of households by income. The article shows the case of unfair taxation of households’ natural gas consumption by the Ukrainian government that was named by the authors as “gas tax.” Analyzing this case using the statistical indicators of dynamics, distribution and structure, it was found out that the honest taxpayers who receive middle incomes (middle class) are in the most disadvantaged position because they are forced to pay the highest price and the largest share of their income for utilities. The paper also includes distinguishing several shortcomings and ethical problems that appear during application of the gas tax in Ukraine: growth of cost inflation, reduction in domestic consumption, reducing the profitability of business; reducing the middle class and increasing the stratification of society, concealment of real incomes and growth of the shadow economy, enhancing injustice and labor migration abroad. All these problems are the arguments for reconsidering gas tax to make it fair and less painful for the economy and households.

Статтю присвячено питанням кодифікації цивільного та господарського законодавства. Хаос, яким відзначається правове регулювання приватних відносин через розбіжності і протиріччя ЦК Украї ни та ГК Украї ни, ускладнює здійснення підприємницьких відносин в Украї ні, призводить до суперечностей в практичній діяль ності підприємців і множить судові спори, відштовхує інвесторів тощо. Метою цієї статті визначено аналіз окремих норм згаданих кодексів з метою віднайдення шляхів їх удосконалення. У результаті дослідженого пропонується переглянути норми ГК Украї ни, які потребують удосконалення, і розмістити їх у спеціальних законах або у відповідних розділах ЦК Украї ни. Зроблено висновок про доцільність скасування ГК Украї ни в процесі рекодифікації. Ключові слова: цивільний кодекс; господарський кодекс; приватне право; кодифікація; рекодифікація. Постановка проб леми. Концепція чинного ЦК Украї ни напрацьовувалась видатними цивілістами Украї ни протягом 1992-1996 років, 5 червня 1997 року проект Кодексу був прий нятий в першому читанні і лише 16 січня 2003 року ЦК Украї ни був ухвалений Верховною Радою Украї ни остаточно. При розробленні Кодексу було використано законотворчий досвід європейських країн, зокрема, Нідерландів, Німеччини, Франції. ЦК Украї ни, як і цивільні кодекси інших країн Європи, закріплює у свідомості людей основні права на рівність людини і громадянина у приватних правовідносинах, свободу договору і підприємницької діяль ності, охорони і захисту прав людини та її власності. На відміну від цього, ГК Украї ни створювався частково на засадах адміністративно-командної системи регулювання економікою держави. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Актуальні питання кодифікації приватного права останніми роками розглядались у працях С.
