Abstract
This abstract preview an original and exploration that sets out to differentiate and evaluate the offerings of three dominant cloud service providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).  This study ventures beyond traditional assessments by not only scrutinizing performance, security, and cost-effectiveness but also delving into the increasingly important dimensions of environmental sustainability and developer-friendliness. Performance metrics encompass not just raw computing power but also focus on service reliability, scalability, and the potential for multi-cloud interoperability. By scrutinizing containerization solutions, serverless computing frameworks, and data storage options, the study aims to unravel the nuanced strengths and potential pitfalls of each platform. Security, an evergreen concern in the cloud landscape, is investigated from both technological and organizational standpoints. The research looks at end-to-end encryption, compliance standards, and the inherent security culture of each cloud provider to provide a holistic view of safety measures. Cost-effectiveness evaluation is not limited to pricing structures alone. The study unpacks the value-added features, budget management tools, and growth potential offered by each provider. It also aims to project the long-term cost implications, helping businesses make fiscally sound choices. Unique to this comparative analysis is an investigation into the environmental impact of cloud technologies. The synthesis of this multifaceted evaluation equips decision-makers with an uncommonly thorough understanding of cloud technologies. Businesses and IT professionals can leverage these findings to make nuanced and tailored selections that align with their strategic goals, ethical considerations, and technological visions in a cloud landscape marked by its dynamism and diversity.

Abstract
The digital age has steered into a new period of commerce, transubstantiating traditional business models and functional strategies across the globe. Azerbaijan, a burgeoning hub for technological advancement, has not remained untouched by this digital revolution. In the realm of electronic commerce (e-commerce), the country substantiates a massive affluence of structured and unstructured data, inclusively known as big data. This data, gathered from client relations, seller conditioning, market trends, and the broader business ecosystem, presents unknown openings for e-commerce realities. This paper is devoted  to the application  of data mining (DM) methods  in the Azerbaijani e-commerce sector, focusing on three vital algorithms:, clustering, classification and association rules . By employing these algorithms, e-commerce companies can unlock perceptivity for wares planning, sales forecasting, basket analysis, customer relationship management, and market segmentation. The primary idea of this study is to explore the application of data mining in enhancing e-commerce through the methodical analysis of both structured and unstructured data acquired from different sources, including cloud computing services. The significance of data mining in streamlining operations and fostering competitive advantage is emphasized, highlighting its role in data-driven decision-making. Additionally, the paper addresses the challenges encountered in the data mining process, such as spider identification, data transformation, and the presentation of data models in a business-friendly manner. The issues of managing slowly changing dimensions and making the data transformation and model-building processes more accessible to business users are also scrutinized. Through this exploration, the paper aims to offer a comprehensive guide for e-commerce companies in Azerbaijan, equipped with vast data reserves, to effectively leverage data mining techniques for business optimization and competitive edge. This study not only underscores the transformative potential of data mining in the e-commerce landscape of Azerbaijan but also presents a pathway for businesses to navigate the complexities of big data, ensuring sustained growth and innovation in the digital marketplace.

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate the peculiarities of the activities of domestic information and analytical centres and their typology. The methodology of the study is based on the application of the principles of scientificity, systematicity, functionality, and informativeness. General scientific methods were used: terminological, problem-chronological, analytical; special methods – analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction. The scientific novelty of the study is an attempt to summarise the results of the work of predecessors in studying the outlined problem, highlighting the peculiarities of the organisation and functioning of analytical cells of various types, as well as identifying the key parameters of their classification. Based on the study of the problem, it is found that domestic think tanks occupy an important place in the life of society, since they act as intermediaries between the public authorities and society. This is a kind of public control tool that, through the analytical products created on the basis of the priorities and values of society, helps the authorities to make effective management decisions. The specificity of think tanks is a combination of studying a wide range of economic, political and social issues. The author clarifies that domestic think tanks differ in terms of their objectives, type of founders, legal status, funding channels, etc. It is noted that the work of centres today can be considered a multifaceted phenomenon, since it involves taking into account many indicators in the process of developing a typology of centres. The authors have established that among the classifications of think tanks proposed by researchers, the determining criteria may be their specialisation and research issues.

Keywords: information and analytical centres, think tanks, information and analytical activities, analysis of public policy, analytical products, secondary document, classification, typology of think tanks.

Derambarsh A. – THE ADOPTION OF AN EFFECTIVE EUROPEAN BILL WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE

THE ADOPTION OF AN EFFECTIVE EUROPEAN BILL WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE

Derambarsh A.
is deputy mayor in the town of Courbevoie. He is at the origin of the law against food waste passed on 3rd February 2016 in France. In Sweden in 2019, he received the « WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award ».[1]
is affiliated with YEREVAN STATE UNIVERSITY (ARMENIA) for seeking Ph.D in Law in 12.00.01 specialization (Theory and History of State and Law, history of state and legal teachings)

Abstract
The purpose of this analysis is to highlight the urgency of quickly obtaining an effective European law against food waste. This analysis demonstrates the blockages (lobbing and long and slow procedures), and solutions are proposed in view of the social and environmental emergency. This analysis is therefore all the more important as it applies in a disrupted and unbalanced social and environmental situation. Indeed, with millions of poor people on the European continent on the one hand and the emergence of worrying global warming on the other, citizens are expecting effective and innovative legal tools. Legislative decision-making between the different bodies of the European Union (European Commission, European Parliament and Council of the European Union) is a legal challenge that must be taken up. It should indeed be remembered that the DrawDown project (2020) and IPCC (2022) reports have confirmed that reducing food waste is one of the three main solutions to combat global warming. Can European law therefore reconcile economic production and social redistribution for better equity between everyone ? This is the objective of this legal analysis.

Keywords: Food Waste, European Law, sustainable development, Food loss

Abstract
The article analyzes the history of creation and some directions of activity of private military companies (PMC) in performing tasks of a specific nature and protection to corporate and state interests of individual countries of the world. It is noted that as a new but effective tool, both representatives of big business, “big” and “small” countries come to the services of the PMC when they consider it necessary not to reveal their interests and remain in the “shadows”. The following research tasks were solved:
– to investigate the existing theoretical approaches in assessing the functioning of military companies;
– to analyze the world experience of creating and applying PMC;
– to examine the specifics of tasks and operations of the PMC;
– to determine the development prospects of the PMC institute in the system of promoting national interests.
