This article provides further study of a family-centred design approach model established in previous studies, which aims to correspond to the limitations and needs of modern families using information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for common activities, communication and organisation of family time. The ambition is to systematically define and design features (functionalities) of a prototype solution that connects family members; provides proper communication; promotes active quality family time, active life, a health-friendly lifestyle and well-being; and uses various sensor- and user-based data sources through a smart city ecosystem platform. The original approach model was applied in designing the MyFamily progressive web application prototype solution as part of the EkoSmart: Active Living and Well-Being Project (RRP3) funded by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Regional Development Fund Investing in Your Future program. Extensive testing of the prototype solution used and the triangulation method used within thematic analysis for user interviews provide new insights and proposals for the change of the family-centred design approach model in the form of distinct developmental goals narrative for each generation to enhance motivation and relevance of content to different generations of users of such digital solutions.

Within the Active Living and Well-Being Project (RRP3), funded by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Regional Development Fund Investing in Your Future program, we aim to develop different approaches and prototype solutions to provide ICT solutions for the family in order to connect its members; communicate; promote quality family time, active life, a health-friendly lifestyle and well-being; and integrate various sensor and user-based data sources into a smart city ecosystem platform. A mixed methodology, combined qualitative and quantitative approaches, was selected to conduct the study. An online survey with a structured questionnaire as well as semi-structured interviews were performed. Through the analysis of the results, we tried to establish a family-centered design approach that would be inclusive as much as possible, creating benefits for all generations in order to develop an interactive prototype solution that would allow us to further test and verify different use-case scenarios.

The article is devoted to the study of the existing legal framework for the protection of minors in the Republic of Kazakhstan from negative impacts in the information sphere, as well as the priority areas of development of national legislation in this area. Today, in the context of globalization, information and communication networks, including the Internet, are an important, and sometimes the only source of information for children. The pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is a confirmation of this, when, against the background of the lack of real communication, children began to spend most of their time on the Internet. Education, leisure, and communication have all moved there. The role of information and communication networks in the life of modern man cannot be overestimated. At the same time, they can be a source of threats and risks to the health, development and mental well-being of children. It is established that the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan contains a number of normative legal acts aimed at ensuring the information protection of minors. However, the system of legal and organizational protection of children in the information sphere is currently at the stage of formation and does not provide a comprehensive response to modern, exponentially growing information challenges and threats. In order to eliminate this gap, it is proposed to develop a unified national strategy for the protection of children in the information environment, with its provisions fixed in the basic document.

The approach of this paper is a retrospective one. It is an attempt to show that many important ideas of Herodotus, a great ancestor of Aristotle, have influenced his practical philosophy. The paper focuses specially on several topics from the Histories of Herodotus, which have found a resonance in the Nicomachean ethics and in the Politics of Aristotle. The main ones in respect of the ethical theory are: the different forms of justice and the just as for example the super-human justice, the just in the family relations, the judicial just and the just in the polis or the larger human community. Book Epsilon of the Nicomachean Ethics is indebted to Herodotus in several points. In respect of Aristotles' political theory, there are two topics in the History of Herodotus which deserve a special interest: firstly, the conversation of the three noble Persians, who discuss the six basic types of political order and organization of power-and-submission in a state or city-state (in book ІІІ, 80-82); this becomes a paradigm for the next typologies of Plato (in the Republic and the Statesman) and Aristotle (in the Politics); secondly, the importance of personal freedom, the equity of the speaking (discussing?) men on the agora, and the supremacy of law for the well-being of any community and its peaceful future. The legacy of Herodotus is obvious in many anthropological and ethical concepts of Aristotle, especially in his most read and quoted ethical writing and in his Politics

<p>The article considers the economic conditions for the formation of the quality of life for a regional society, the Republic of Tatarstan. This research bases on comparing the economic indicators of the development of the region and the results of a public opinion survey on the economic components of the quality of life and the material well-being of a family. Statistical indicators of the economic development in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past decade show a positive dynamics of growth, while the satisfaction of the population with the main components of economic well-being does not always has a similar picture. Our studies show that the material well-being of a family and an individual citizen is determined not only by the growth of the aggregate income of the family, but also by such macroeconomic indicators as the level of inflation, the growth of tariffs for utilities. Consequently, the social well-being of the population is more correlated with the real incomes of a family than from macroeconomic growth indicators.</p>

This paper investigates public procurement in Broadband Infrastructure Projects in the Republic of Croatia, the funding of which is provided by the European Regional Development Fund for the period 2014-2020. Since successfully implemented procurement procedure for the infrastructure solution is one of the key factors for grant approval and the start of project implementation, the question arises as to which public procurement techniques contribute best to achieving the goals and meeting the objectives of these specific projects. It is estimated that the available literature and legal cases are not sufficient to make a decision on the selection of the procedure. Therefore, a conclusion of possible procedures was reached on the efficient and effective process through a comparison, as well as multicriteria analysis, leading to the successful completion of the procurement process.
