Technological and Forensic Solutions for Kazakhstan Abstract: Illegal mining and processing of precious metals in Kazakhstan cause significant environmental, social, and economic harm, undermining social sustainability by threatening community safety and ecological stability. The aim of the paper is to explore the application of information technology (IT) and forensic examinations in combating illegal mining and processing of precious metals, enhancing social and environmental sustainability. A dialectical approach was employed, using general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and specialized methods (comparative-legal, formal-logical, statistical analysis). Data from 64 annual cases of illegal mining (2017-2022) were analyzed, alongside IT tools and forensic methodologies. IT solutions, such as video surveillance and UAVs with thermal imaging, reduced illegal mining incidents by 18% from 2020 to 2021. Forensic examinations, including gemological and chemical analyses, improved crime detection by identifying metal origins and enabling prosecution. Integrating IT and forensic examinations enhances law enforcement efforts, reduces environmental damage, and promotes social sustainability by protecting communities and aligning with SDG 15 and 16. Legislative improvements are recommended to legalize artisanal mining and control gold sales.

Forensic psychological examinations can address these issues by assessing convicts? behavior and risks. The aim is to select methods of forensic psychological examination, specifically the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), to enhance sentencing probation, reduce recidivism, and promote sustainable social reintegration in Kazakhstan. An observational study is utilized PAI, a multiscale questionnaire assessing psychopathology, stress coping, interpersonal relationships, and forensic constructs like aggression and substance abuse. Results were interpreted to develop individualized probation recommendations. Results evidence the absence of legislated psychological assessment methods in Kazakhstan necessitates tools like PAI, which is time-efficient (344 items, 40-50 minutes) and assesses key constructs: alcohol and substance abuse, aggression, recidivism risk, simulation, and positive impression management. The aggression scale consistently predicts violent behavior, supporting targeted interventions. In conclusion, integrating PAI into probation control enhances social reintegration, reduces recidivism, and aligns with sustainable development goals (SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Legislative adoption of PAI is recommended to standardize forensic psychological assessments.

Since consumer preferences are not influenced solely by product quality itself and the reputation of the entities also has an impact, the development of a distinctive trademark has become an essential element of the foundation and sustenance of a business. As Ukraine is trying to strengthen ties with the European Union, a thorough analysis of its trademark protection laws in comparison with the European Union is reasonable. Hence, the research objectives include an in-depth examination of Ukraine's trademark protection laws, identification of deficiencies in national regulations, and the recommendation of legislative enhancements to harmonize it with EU legal standards. To achieve the specified objectives, the study employs a range of methodologies, including dialectical, analytical, formal-dogmatic, comparative, and prognostic approaches. As a result of the investigation, several flaws in Ukraine's trademark protection laws were revealed. The flaws include imprecise terminology, ambiguity regarding the functional purposes of trademarks, insufficient safeguarding of non-traditional trademarks, limitations on trademark rights, and an outdated proprietary concept. Furthermore, there are no provisions for collective trademark rights or criterion-based trademark definitions that violate public order or universally accepted moral principles. The identified flaws underscore the urgent necessity for a comprehensive reform of Ukraine's trademark protection legislation.

Based on the indicator method, threats with the maximum level of influence on economic and social security have been identified, and their dynamics over recent years have been analyzed. Risks and threats to the economic security of Ukraine are systematized by spheres and the level of influence on target security parameters. The influence of war criminals on environmental safety has been investigated and the existence of interdependence of environmental threats with indicators of economic safety has been proven. The need to include indicators of environmental threats in the system of indicators of the economic security of the state is substantiated, considering the complexity of their action. The study aims to identify the principal threats and risks to Ukraine?s socio-economic security under martial law, assess their implications for macroeconomic indicators and social dynamics, and propose strategies to mitigate these challenges. It explores the concepts of risks and threats as fundamental elements of economic security, emphasizing their interrelation, where risks represent the likelihood of adverse outcomes and threats signify potential harm to the economic system caused by internal or external factors.

Kozhakhmet Title: Increasing the Effectiveness of Re-socialization of Convicts through Individual Forecasting of Their Behavior Using Information Technologies Abstract: Re-socialization of convicts is critical for social sustainability, ensuring their successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism, which aligns with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The aim of the paper is to evaluate how information technologies (IT) and forensic psychological examinations can enhance re-socialization through individual behavior forecasting. An observational study analyzed psychological and social factors in convicts using mathematical and statistical methods to reduce subjectivity. Tools included Cattell?s 16PF questionnaire, Kotlyakov?s life meanings methodology, and Chirkina?s criminogenic factors questionnaire. A SWOT analysis assessed the feasibility of microchipping technology. Psychological diagnostics and IT, including microchipping, enable the creation of a recidivist profile, identifying risk factors (e.g., low emotional stability increases recidivism risk by 83%). IT reduced behavioral violations by 15% in pilot programs. Combining forensic psychological examinations with IT, such as microchipping, enhances re-socialization by predicting recidivism risks, but ethical and legal frameworks are needed. This approach promotes social inclusion and sustainability.

The authors investigate whether progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is associated with the magnitude of climate-related economic losses across European countries. Drawing on typological classifications, disaggregated SDG indicators, and Granger causality tests, the study explores dynamic interactions between development performance and climate-related vulnerability. While no stable correlation emerges across all cases, a pattern of reactive adaptation is observed in high-loss countries, where improvements in SDG 13 often follow damaging events. These findings underscore the importance of aligning development policy with climate resilience frameworks and highlight the need for stronger integration between long-term sustainability planning and risk governance strategies.

The study aims to identify the impact of global and national crises on the sustainability of companies in the example of manufacturing industries in Latvia and Ukraine. The study employed statistical analysis to identify the main trends and changes in global and national economic indicators that occurred due to the crisis. The correlation analysis was used to establish a link between these indicators and the sustainability of manufacturing companies in the studied countries. The obtained results show that global and national indicators, changes which may indicate the presence of crisis phenomena, are related to the sustainability indicators of companies. However, this relationship is not the same for countries with different levels of economic openness and different degrees of economic integration into global markets. Thus, the sustainability indicators of Latvian companies are more closely correlated with the values of global and national gross domestic product, inflation, unemployment, production. In general, the resilience of Latvian companies is higher than that of Ukrainian companies. In both Latvia and Ukraine, companies? sustainability performance has been affected by the crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. However, the war in Ukraine has had particularly severe consequences, including for the resilience of companies. Thus, the overall commercial profitability after tax, which was 10.11% in the country in 2021, fell to more than -3.24%. These results indicate the relevance of a study of the degree of influence of global and national trends in the process of assessing the sustainability of companies and may be useful for assessing the financial aspects of the sustainability of the manufacturing industry.

The regional/national agri-food potential represented by local and seasonal sources can be exploited in combination with the activities of large chains and networks in the field. The aim of the article is to better understand sustainable agri-food structures in the competitive business environment, to critically evaluate the vision of short proximity chains combined with long chains and agri-food networks. A considerable fragmentation of the food supply base, especially domestic, has an impact both upstream and downstream, on the entire processing, distribution and marketing chain of agri-food products. The effect on supply from small organizations in the field is still unclear, as they often do not have the coordinates or quantified influence on downstream chains and large agri-food networks, usually being disconnected from them. Food insecurity will increase due to inadequate market infrastructures and socioeconomic vulnerabilities in the most densely populated regions of the world. Global agricultural systems will be increasingly affected by the negative effect of climate change, water scarcity and price volatility The authors propose transdisciplinary collaboration in the field of food and nutrition security for Romania, with a focus on technologies that allow achieving security in the field.
