  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

In this research the difficulties and unsolved problems were analyzed for development and use of location-based mobile recommender systems for social distancing. This paper focuses on project of development of mobile location-based recommender system with context evaluation. The main features of decision- making on passing and changing the route are analyzed. Technologies for determining the danger of crowding and managing human flows have been studied. The study considers the possibility of creating software to manage the flow of people within the city to ensure social distancing. A prototype of a mobile application has been created, which will be used to teach the multi-agent system the peculiarities of the space-time behavior of pedestrians during quarantine.
