The article is devoted to the research of municipal-legal problems of increasing the efficiency of civil society functioning in Ukraine. The emphasis is on the need to improve and strengthen the legal status of local self-government as the fundamental institution of civil society. The contemporary theory of local self-government as an institution of civil society is considered, its role in ensuring the stability of the constitutional system and the development of constitutionalism in Ukraine is determined. The basic theories of self-government are analyzed, the definition of local self-government as one of the main forms of democracy and the constitutional means of limiting state power in the conditions of formation of civil society is proposed. This approach emphasizes the increasing role of the municipal-territorial factor in the life of civil society. It is connected with the creation of capable territorial communities, confirmation of democratic intentions of national states and their special attention to the inhabitants of certain territories. It is concluded that only realization for long time in the minds of residents - members of territorial communities - of stable anti-theatrical institutions, radical changes in the stereotypes of socio-political behavior of the general population, its self-organization and self-discipline, the formation of patriotic sentiments may in the future become the basis for leveling the conflict between state and public interest, the formation of an optimal balance between public and private, and, therefore, a powerful tool for improving efficiency the organization and functioning of civil society.

У статті досліджуються питання, пов’язані з визначенням концептуальних засад нового законодавства України про місцеві референдуми в контексті вимог Додаткового протоколу до Європейської хартії місцевого самоврядування про право участі у справах місцевого органу влади, який був ратифікований Верховною Радою України 2 вересня 2014 року. Формулюються пропозиції щодо законодавчого закріплення предмета місцевих референдумів, порядку їх призначення, юридичної сили рішень, прийнятих на референдумах тощо. Автори наголошують на тому, що законодавче регулювання ініціювання, організації та проведення місцевих референдумів потребує суттєвого законодавчого вдосконалення. На сьогодні уже напрацьовано достатньо багато законодавчих ініціатив у сфері ініціювання, організації, проведення місцевих референдумів та реалізації їх рішень. Для імплементації таких напрацювань у діюче законодавче поле необхідна узгоджена та злагоджена робота Верховної Ради України та Президента України. У статті робиться висновок, що ухвалення Закону «Про місцеві референдуми» уже давно назріло, а тому прийняття будь-яких законодавчих ініціатив у даному напрямку стане кроком вперед на шляху до розбудови правової, демократичної держави, в якій громадяни зможуть реалізувати належне їм право на участь в управлінні державними справами не лише через органи державної влади та органи місцевого самоврядування, а й безпосередньо – шляхом референдуму. Врахування у законотворчій діяльності парламенту наведених нами напрямків удосконалення законодавства про місцеві референдуми дозволить суттєво підвищити роль місцевого референдуму в механізмі вирішення територіальною громадою питань місцевого значення, сприятиме створенню реальних способів безпосереднього самостійного вирішення територіальною громадою питань місцевого значення.

On the basis of systematic analysis of scientific, statistical and economic data the paper compares modern situation and forecasts of electrical power engineering development in the Republic of Belarus and Russian Federation. The paper carries out an analysis of integrated structure of fuel balances of both countries till 2015. The paper notes the fact that thermal power stations (TPS) will remain a main generating source till 2020 and gas will continue to be the main type of fuel in the structure of fuel balances. The paper investigates development of technological structures in the electrical power engineering. It has been revealed that one of the main factors that hinders development of the Belarussian power system is the absence of the required financial mechanisms for obtaining additional investment possibilities. In connection with this fact a special attention should be given to the problems that are directed on improvement of tariff policy and mechanisms of tariff formation.

Tendencies and perspectives for development of thermal and electric power tariffs for population and industry in Belarus have been analyzed in the paper. The average Belarusian tariffs are compared with the corresponding ones in other countries. It is revealed that the current tariff distribution for population and industry in the Republic does not stimulate the economical usage of electric power and deteriorates an export potential of the Belarusian enterprises. It is determined that due to an increase of fuel-power resource prices it will be necessary also to increase further prices of generated power resources and, first of all, prices of electrical power of non-industrial consumer groups.

The paper considers main indices of fuel utilization efficiency in energy systems. The basic emphasis is made on investigations of the existing fuel utilization efficiency indices in the Belarusian energy system.

We have investigated the room for magnesium sulfate in preventing arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial infarction occurring with reperfusion and QT prolongation. We have studied 110 patients in the first 6 hours of AMI, including 50 with QT prolongation and 60 with various regimens of thrombolysis with urokinase. 40 patients received thrombolysis along with magnesium infusion (scheme see infra). Patients with AMI and prolonged QT were infused 20 mL 25% magnesium sulfate in 10 mL 5% glucose for 30 minutes with subsequent intravenous magnesium sulfate 0.5-0.6 g per hour. In all patients plasma and RBC Mg and Ca concentrations were assessed with atomic absorption assay, daily ECG monitoring and 12-lead standard ECG with the analysis of QT duration and dispersion. We have found that patients with AMI in the first 6 hours exhibit a depletion of both serum and intracellular Mg with leads to QT prolongation and dispersion. Magnesium sulfate given intravenously helped reverse QT prolongation by the end of the 2nd day and decrease dispersion significantly. We have also found magnesium sulfate with thrombolysis to decrease the incidence of reperfusion syndrome.
