УДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНИХ ЗАСАД ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ ТА ФІНАНСОВО-ПРАВОВІ МЕХАНІЗМИ ПРИСКОРЕННЯ ВСТУПУ УКРАЇНИ В ЄС

Introduction. Since 2022, Ukraine has been following the path of “classical accession” to the EU, which involves the compliance with the Copenhagen criteria and adoption of the common EU legislation (acquis) in 33 policy areas/ chapters. But advancement withing this scenario is a long and resource-intensive process. Problem Statement. The urgent task is to find an optimal model of joining the EU with coherence to a reasonable time frame of this course, achieving high results of European integration and identification of the sources of funding for carrying out reforms and overcoming the consequences of the war after reducing the potential of the Ukraine Facility. Purpose - identification of the current financial and legal problems of the European integration process for Ukraine, generalization of the methodological pillars of the concept of staged accession to the EU as a more progressive version over the classic accession model, design of the policy proposals for updating monitoring tools and financial incentives for progressing across the subsequent stages towards the EU membership. Methods. General scientific and special methods are applied: reviews of theoretical sources, advisory and research papers, analysis of statistical data and legal documents, historical method, logical method, methods of comparison and synthesis. Results. The article summarizes the methodological pillars of the concept of staged accession to the EU, systematizes the legal mechanisms of negotiations and obtaining EU membership, shows the financial aspects of the European integration process, including access to the EU cohesion funds, and elaborates practically important proposals for the activity of the EU institutions and national bodies as to the operationalization of the model of staged accession. Conclusions. The staged accession model is the most holistic and logically structured concept that can evolve a predictable progress towards the EU membership. The model should be based on the European Commission's quantitative assessments of countries' preparedness for the membership within the framework of negotiating clusters and chapters. A system of performance indicators is also required that will record progress of the candidate countries across stages and will set the ground for disbursements from the EU funds in line with specified ratios. Since 2028, the new EU medium-term fiscal framework should provide for the formation of new funds to finance the recovery of Ukraine's economy and the application of the EU's cohesion policy towards Ukraine.

ФІНАНСОВИЙ КОНТРОЛІНГ ПРОЦЕСУ ЗЛИТТЯ ТА ПОГЛИНАННЯ КОМПАНІЙ В УМОВАХ ГЕОПОЛІТИЧНИХ РИЗИКІВ

Introduction. Geopolitical risks and crises have become a significant factor affecting financial and investment decisions. Military actions, pandemics, climate change, supply chain disruptions, and social upheavals have become drivers of uncertainty, leading to unpredictable volatility in global markets. This necessitates a reevaluation of traditional tools for supporting financial and investment decisions, including decisions regarding mergers and acquisitions (M&A transactions). Problem Statement. The problem lies in the insufficient adaptation of traditional decision-support tools for M&A to the new geopolitical reality, characterized by permanent crises, supply chain disruptions, and increased levels of uncertainty. Purpose. To determine the nature of the impact of geopolitical risks and behavioral factors on investment decision-making and to substantiate the concept of financial controlling in M&A. Methods. A mixed-method approach (Mixed Methods Research) was employed, whereby hypotheses were formulated based on inductive observations and then deductively tested. Within this framework, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied, including content analysis, abstract-logical and synthesis methods, regression-correlation analysis, and the online survey method (CAWI – Computer Assisted Web Interviewing). Results. The nature of the impact of geopolitical risks on the dynamics of the merger and acquisition market has been clarified. Based on empirical analysis, the influence of the subjective, behavioral component on investment decision-making as a whole and decisions regarding mergers and acquisitions in particular has been confirmed. For the first time, the concept of financial controlling in M&A has been substantiated, aimed at providing informational, methodological, and analytical support for relevant decisions. The essence of the ecosystem approach to the process of mergers and acquisitions has been revealed. Conclusions. It has been proven that geopolitical risks are insufficiently taken into account in the process of making investment decisions regarding M&A, which often leads to unsuccessful deals. This is a consequence of the shortcomings of existing company valuation and rating methodologies, as well as the influence of the subjective, behavioral component on investment decision-making. To address the complex issues associated with M&A, it is advisable to implement a comprehensive concept of financial controlling and an ecosystem approach to the merger and acquisition process.

Benchmarking Travelling Reviews using Opinion Mining

Online travel reviews offer valuable data, yet it remains uncertain if those most influenced by these reviews actually read them. This research aims to uncover consistent patterns and explain variations in online travel ratings, comments, and reviews. To accomplish this, millions of reviews were collected from Pakistan's top online travel companies, Uber and Careem. Utilizing semantic affiliation analysis, subject terms were extracted, forming a semantic affiliation structure. The findings highlight significant differences among channels concerning topical vocabulary, subject distribution, structural traits, and community links. The network visualization results are particularly noteworthy, as they illustrate connections between key concepts and words within each topic, making them easily understandable. With the proposed logical method, we can better understand the strategic snafus in the travel sector and gain fresh insights into how to dig up popular assessments to better serve tourists, lodging establishments, and trade groups.

International Legal Regulation of Activities of States in the Great Mediterranean Region

INTRODUCTION. In modern international and domestic maritime law, regional fragmentation of legal regulation is becoming more and more noticeable, which, in turn, objectifies and actualizes the formation of complex arrays of legal norms, united by the consistency of the political and legal positions of the contracting states that have national interests in the relevant water area, primarily-coastal states extending their state sovereignty to certain areas of maritime space. In this context, the Greater Mediterranean region should be considered as one of the most important in the world merchant shipping and naval support of international peace and security, as a basin that optimally connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans from the point of view of logistics, which requires the formation of an appropriate scientific and methodological basis for full implementation of the fundamental principle of international cooperation in the maritime policy of the states of the region.MATERIALS AND METHODS. To substantiate the expediency of singling out the Greater Mediterranean as an independent object of legal regulation, general and special international legal treaties, the domestic legislation of the Mediterranean states, as well as political and legal documents indicating the existence of certain disputes and situations around certain zones of the Mediterranean water area, primarily – in the Eastern Mediterranean region. To obtain reliable and substantiated results of the study, methods of scientific knowledge were used: formal-legal, logical, historical-legal, system-structural analysis. Thus, the formal legal method made it possible to clarify the content and meaning of international legal treaties concluded at different times and aimed at regulating public relations in the maritime sphere. The logical method made it possible to substantiate the need for comprehensive international cooperation of the coastal states of the Greater Mediterranean. With the help of the historical and legal method, an overview was made of both the world, Soviet and Russian practice of applying the norms of domestic and international law on issues related to ensuring international law and order in the Greater Mediterranean region. The logical method made it possible to build the necessary connections and patterns of development of international legal regulation in the Greater Mediterranean region in the general context of ongoing universal and regional political and legal processes and transformations. Using the method of system-structural analysis, it was possible to display a holistic picture of law-making and law enforcement of the Mediterranean states, aimed at the formation of unified principles and norms for the exercise of the sovereign rights of coastal states.RESEARCH RESULTS. International maritime merchant shipping seems to be a very complex area of public relations with a large number of entities that have different legal status and, accordingly, are related to each other in a very different way.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. This work is devoted to the study of the main trends in the development of the Greater Mediterranean region in terms of formulating key international legal guidelines and rules of conduct for its constituent states. The object of the study is the legal relations carried out in the maritime spaces of the Greater Mediterranean as one of the key regions, which, along with its economic and political significance, is an integral zone for the implementation of the national interests of the Russian Federation, extending to the entire World Ocean.

Improvement of the organizational structure of management agricultural enterprises according to the principles of the market economy

The materials of the scientific publication define the role of marketing principles in the organization of the management structure of agricultural enterprises in the production process. The works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the efficiency of agricultural production, the service sector and the market were analyzed. When conducting research on the state of the organizational structure of management of agricultural enterprises based on the principle of marketing, general scientific research methods were used, in particular: a monographic method to identify the problem of adaptation of agricultural enterprises to the market environment, a method of comparative analysis to study the possibilities of adaptation to the market of agricultural enterprises of different sizes, an abstract-logical method with its methods of generalization analysis and synthesis and the method of induction and deduction for the formation of generalizations, conclusions and propositions. A system of the organizational structure of management of agricultural enterprises was established in accordance with marketing principles. The state and further development of the management structure of agricultural enterprises is determined. Presented are topical issues of forming the implementation of agrarian policy in the field of organizational structure of socio-economic and social-labor relations. The optimal system of labor organization in social and labor relations based on the principle of humanization of labor, which offers wide independence to the production enterprise, has been revealed. The conditions that determine the direction of all production and marketing activities of agricultural enterprises, which are based on the principles of marketing are analyzed. All activities of the agricultural enterprise are subject to this concept. The tactics of the marketing concept of an agricultural enterprise, based on the use of defensive and offensive positions, are also proposed. Appropriate conclusions were made that reflect the assessment of the financial condition of agricultural sector enterprises and offer the most effective method of marketing policy activation, which provides an opportunity to obtain more information about the activities of agricultural enterprises, conduct its analysis, and formulate specific proposals for production.

Reading consumers’ minds: an analysis of inflation expectations

ABSTRACT The heterogeneity in households’ consumption baskets is often deemed responsible for deviation of their inflation expectations from headline inflation. The paper verifies this by simulating population baskets and estimating mean inflation by sampling baskets. The estimated mean inflation fails to display closeness with survey numbers. Therefore, the paper proposes alternative logical methods for designing basket compositions and identifies the most suited method using which the estimated expectations are found to be close to and well-correlated with survey numbers. The findings suggest that a sudden rise in inflation of regular-use items can explain the deviation in households’ expectations from official inflation.

Integrating fuzzy-AHP and GIS for solid waste disposal site selection in Kenitra province, NW Morocco.

Selecting an optimal solid waste disposal site is one of the decisive waste management issues because unsuitable sites cause serious environmental and public health problems. In Kenitra province, northwest Morocco, sustainable disposal sites have become a major challenge due to rapid urbanization and population growth. In addition, the existing disposal sites are traditional and inappropriate. The objective of this study is to suggest potential suitable disposal sites using fuzzy logic and analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP) method integrated with geographic information system (GIS) techniques. For this purpose, thirteen factors affecting the selection process were involved. The results showed that 5% of the studied area is considered extremely suitable and scattered in the central-eastern parts, while 9% is considered almost unsuitable and distributed in the northern and southern parts. Thereafter, these results were validated using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC). The AUC found was 57.1%, which is a moderate prediction's accuracy because the existing sites used in the validation's process were randomly selected. These results can assist relevant authorities and stakeholders for setting new solid waste disposal sites in Kenitra province.

UN General Assembly Resolution 76/262 as a strengthening of the collective response to the use of the veto right in the UN Security Council

The article describes the legal nature of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 76/262 (A/76/L.52) entitled "Standing mandate for a General Assembly debate when a veto is cast in the Security Council", adopted on April 26, 2022. We have analyzed this topic due to its relevance and the emergence of a new procedure of the United Nations General Assembly, aimed at increasing of the transparency and accountability of the United Nations Security Council, as a result of the ineffective activity of the Security Council in crisis in which our world finds itself today, in particular due to armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, which have led to complex humanitarian consequences. Many states and scientists have been expressing their interest in the issue of Security Council reform for a long time. We deeply researched the Resolution which is the first in a long time and a significant legal instrument that changes the existing mechanism of the functioning of the United Nations and has revived the discussions on the need for a complete reform of the Security Council in accordance with Resolution 62/557 of December 15, 2008. The purpose of the article is an overview of the new Resolution 76/262, namely the reasons and expediency of its adoption, cases of application and its effectiveness in modern conditions. The methodological basis of the study are the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena: the method of the philosophical level – the dialectical method; empirical methods – comparative, observation and description methods; general logical methods – analysis, synthesis; specially-legal method. The article analyzes the main provisions of Resolution 76/262, the reasons for its adoption, examines cases of its application, and draws conclusions about the effectiveness of this resolution. We have differentiated the procedures provided for by Resolution 76/262 "Standing mandate for a General Assembly debate when a veto is cast in the Security Council" and Resolution 377 (V) "Uniting for Peace". We have reviewed the international legal conceptual foundations of the need to apply the resolution. The topic of reforming the United Nations against the backdrop of the current world security crisis is very important and relevant for further research by domestic scientists in order to formulate their own proposals, approaches and scientific justifications in the modern Ukrainian science of international public law, as well as for the scientific enlightenment of society in this of knowledge.

Conceptualization of Intelligent Control System for Humanitarian Demining Robotic Complexes Based on Verbal Methods

Introduction. Humanitarian demining is characterized by growing attention to the problems of creating and using robotic systems. The most important aspect of their use is the control method.Problem Statement. At present, the fi rst generation robotic complexes (controlled devices) have been the mostcommon, the second generation complexes (semi-autonomous devices) have been improving. To switch to the third generation complexes (autonomous devices), it is necessary to develop intelligent control systems based on artificial intelligence technologies. The most used for system development are quantitative methods, but such models are “black box models” that do not provide complete clarity about their behavior.Purpose. To develop conceptual model of intelligent control systems for humanitarian demining robotic complexes based on verbal methods.Materials and Methods. Formal logic methods, verbal analysis qualitative methods, and BPMN. Results. Conceptual model of intelligent control systems for humanitarian demining robotic complexes and sym bolic models of representing relevant declarative and procedural knowledge based on verbal methods have been developed.Conclusions. The conceptual model makes it possible to formulate Symbolic Models in the notations of selected verbal methods. At the decision-making level, the ordinary classifi cation method by denotation of the terms used by experts in the selected subject area has been chosen. At the executive level, the BPMN method has been chosen to create process diagrams in graphical notation. The verbal methods make it possible to create “white-box models” that unambiguously interpret the dependence of output and input variables and to explain the model behavior. Symbolic models in the notations of selected verbal methods allow the implementation of an intelligent control systems for a specifi c humanitarian demining robotic complex.

Qualitative performance improvement of a hybrid power supply at the DC common coupling point using a neuro-fuzzy method

Continuity of power supply service in production industries is of crucial importance, given the severity imposed in these sectors. A poor power supply leads to underproduction or degradation of equipment sensitive to electrical variations. A direct consequence of this is loss of earnings for industry. To ensure continuity of service for industrial power supplies, at least one secondary power source must be available. However, the switching system between sources may not be spontaneous due to the presence of electromechanical switches. The solution to this problem is to use electronic converters for control. The aim of this work is to enhance the parameters of an industrial photovoltaic-grid hybrid power supply to ensure uninterrupted power supply and balance between energy supply and demand. The sources are coupled to the DC bus via electronic converters. The photovoltaic system and the inverter are assumed to be unknown, and only the load terminal voltage is accessible and measurable. To address the lack of mathematical model of the system, we propose a mechanism that combines a fuzzy logic (FLC) centred mechanism with a radial basis function (RBF) neural network for the studied case. The FLC self-determines the image of the compensation power to be extracted through the current to the secondary energy source, ensuring continuity of service and balance between supply and demand. The FLC mechanism self-adjust the parameters of the RBF neural network and coordinates the energy at the DC link. The results obtained in the Matlab/Simulink environment are compared with the fuzzy logic and proportional integral (PI) control method. The quality of the results show that the proposed method is excellent compared with FLC and PI control. It improves response time between 24.223% and 82.9% for PI and between 22.292% and 63.694% for FLC. It guarantees an improvement in the mean square error on PI of between 5.865% and 57.994%, and on FLC of between 1.582% and 29.683%. The proposed method guarantees a high rationing coefficient, helping to maintain the balance between supply and demand, ensure continuity of service for the power supply, and improve the accuracy and self-compensation of the energy to be supplied, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Developing and Expanding Trade by the Portuguese in China in the 16<sup>th</sup> – 18<sup>th</sup> Centuries

This article clarifies the process of establishing and expanding the commercial power of Portugal in China in the 16th , 17th and 18th centuries. In the second half of the 16th century, through various means, the Portuguese gradually “legalized” their existence and established a highly autonomous government in Macao. The Portuguese Crown expected to build a fortified base as a springboard to realize their plan in developing an exclusive trade network in mainland China and Japan as well as the other countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia in the 17th and 18th centuries. To study this issue, the authors mainly rely on original materials and academic achievements by Chinese and international scholars that are directly or indirectly related to the content of the article. At the same time, the authors use two main research methods of Historical Science (historical method and logical method) with other research methods (analysis, synthesis, statistics, and comparison). This research will make a specific contribution in recreating the overall picture of Portuguese commercial activities in Asia in general and China in particular from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

The situation of bringing to justice of a deliberately innocent person

The aim of the work is the research such a feature of the objective side as the situation of a criminal offense provided for in Article 372 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The topicality is due to the lack of scientific development of the situation of bringing to justice of a deliberately innocent person, which leads to its neglect in practical activities when establishing the objective side of the crime. The methodological basis of the study is the complex of such methods as empirical, general logical and special legal methods, since the research of the problem of the situation requires the use of a wide toolkit of methodology. For example, empirical methods were used to study the practical implementation of normative prescriptions in judicial practice. The comparative legal method was necessary for a qualitative comparison of adjacent and competing criminal offenses in order to distinguish them. In addition, the terminological approach was applied to clarify the definition of the situation, which was not only contained in the science of criminal law for its unambiguous understanding. The article consistently examines the general concept of the circumstances of the commission of a crime in various aspects, first of all, in criminal law and criminalistics, as well as the need to establish the situation during the investigation of all criminal offenses, regardless of its fixation in the disposition of an article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It was analyzed the circumstances of the commission of the crime provided for in Article 372 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which is not enshrined in the specified article, but directly follows from its content and is the obligatory feature of the objective side, because the commission of this crime outside the pre-trial investigation excludes qualification by this article of the Criminal Code. The practical significance of the research lies in the theoretical provision of pre-trial investigation and trial with the aim of properly establishing all the circumstances relevant to the case and the correct qualification of a person’s actions under Article 372 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to the results of the conducted research, the definition of the situation of bringing to justice of a deliberately innocent person is singled out. It was determined that the commission of this crime is possible only during and under the conditions of a pre-trial investigation, which would simultaneously be the stage of criminal proceedings, the period of time of its conduct, and the procedural activity of authorized persons.

Seismic Domain Identification Algorithm Using Fuzzy Logic Methods With Combined Geological and Geomorphological Data for the Case of Sakhalin Island

An algorithm for identifying seismic generation zones or “seismic domains” using fuzzy logic has been developed and tested on the island of Sakhalin. Initial data were obtained from diagrams of the distribution of “weak” zones, relief elevation distribution skewness, and magnitude of recent area deformation for one year. These data were processed using a γ-operator in fuzzy logic with γ = 0.9, which allowed us to identify areas with high seismic activity. The areas where these active areas intersect with zones with increased compressive stress values, as determined by computer modeling, were considered to be seismic zones. It was shown that, if there are not enough source materials available, it is possible to exclude information about the recent deformation field from consideration and use an assumed grid of active faults for computer modeling. This approach may be useful when analyzing areas that have not been studied well.

Financing education spending in the context of interbudgetary relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan

In the current conditions, education is endowed with strategic importance as a sphere of social activity that directly forms the level of intelligence of the population, ensuring competitiveness and innovation in the development of the country's economy. Therefore, the study’s relevance is because the educational capital obtained in the learning process is a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, work experience, and personal characteristics that bring a person income during his career and stimulate further investment in education. Education impacts each citizen’s income and directly affects the economic development of the country, its financial capabilities, and national competitiveness. Thus, this article aims to reveal the critical aspects of republican and local financing of education in Kazakhstan and the prospects for its development. The methodological basis of the research is formed by a system of general scientific and unique research methods: synthesis, system-analytical analysis, and abstract-logical method. The critical result of the work is the systematization of acquisitions within the framework of the researched topic and the study of the features of optimizing the decentralization of education financing in Kazakhstan. Proposed: to increase the efficient distribution of financial resources at all levels of the budget system; increase the opportunities for educational institutions to raise additional funds through educational innovations, expand the list of paid services provided by such institutions; carry out decentralization of education, taking into account the characteristics of the regions, their production potential, the demographic situation and the interests of territorial communities. The results of this scientific study, as well as the conclusions formulated on their basis, are of significant importance both for the scientific community and for financial experts and practitioners from the educational field since they have a structured presentation of the material based on which logical and constructive conclusions are drawn, which may have an impact on the subsequent processes of reforming the financial provision of education in Kazakhstan.

The study of marketing opportunities for the use of the raw material of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium L.) in the pharmacotherapy of musculoskeletal system diseases

Aim. To form a modern idea of the market structure and trends in the consumption of drugs for the pharmacotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis, to determine the possible potential for use of plant raw material of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium). Materials and methods. The study was conducted using the structural analysis, logical and graphical methods, and marketing analysis methods. Results. It was found that in the pre-war period the market for drugs affecting the musculoskeletal system developed quite vigorously – its growth rate in the period of 2020-2021 ranged from 16 to 29 % in natural units and from 20 to 30 % in monetary terms. According to the structure of producing countries, the market was significantly import-dependent. The market for synthetic drugs was quite saturated, represented by various dosage forms – tablets, powder for suspension, injection solutions (ampoules), granules, capsules, sachets, alcohol solutions, oil solutions, suppositories, oral suspensions, transdermal patches, gels, ointments. The research was conducted taking into account the study of marketing opportunities for the use of the raw material of Tanacetum parthenium in the pharmacotherapy of diseases of the musculoskeletal system since this raw material had certain advantages compared to synthetic analogs. It should be noted that the market of herbal medicines for the treatment of the musculoskeletal system diseases or the prevention of their manifestations is very limited and is represented by a minimum number of product items and one representative of the medicinal flora – Symphytum officinale. In addition, 90 % of the market for this group of drugs belongs to foreign manufacturers. Although research of the market for biological supplements indicates a certain demand for products based on the medicinal plant raw material. Conclusions. Based on the trends identified, we can state the positive development of the market for drugs that affect the musculoskeletal system, the prospects for the development of drugs based on the medicinal plant raw material, including Tanacetum parthenium.

A possible worlds semantics for trustworthy non-deterministic computations

The notion of trustworthiness, central to many fields of human inquiry, has recently attracted the attention of various researchers in logic, computer science, and artificial intelligence (AI). Both conceptual and formal approaches for modelling trustworthiness as a (desirable) property of AI systems are emerging in the literature. To develop logics fit for this aim means to analyse both the non-deterministic aspect of AI systems and to offer a formalization of the intended meaning of their trustworthiness. In this work we take a semantic perspective on representing such processes, and provide a measure on possible worlds for evaluating them as trustworthy. In particular, we intend trustworthiness as the correspondence within acceptable limits between a model in which the theoretical probability of a process to produce a given output is expressed and a model in which the frequency of showing such output as established during a relevant number of tests is measured. From a technical perspective, we show that our semantics characterizes the probabilistic typed natural deduction calculus introduced in [12] and further extended in [13]. This contribution connects those results on trustworthy probabilistic processes with the mainstream method in modal logic, thereby facilitating the understanding of this field of research for a larger audience of logicians, as well as setting the stage for an epistemic logic appropriate to the task.

V. A. Sukhomlinsky’s pedagogical heritage: innovation and foresight

Introduction. Modern education does not always meet the challenges associated with the rapid changes brought by the new millennium. The spiritual and moral crisis is becoming more and more pronounced. Relying only on “rationality” and practical expediency leads to human degradation and civilizational crisis. This underlies the unprecedented value of pedagogical systems containing certain constructive solutions to the identified problem put forward by practice. According to the general opinion of the world pedagogical community, among such systems is one created by the outstanding humanist V.A. Sukhomlinsky (1918 – 1970). Purpose: To identify and reveal the essence of the ideas and provisions of the Pavlysh innovator that have already played an invaluable role in the enrichment of the national education and will be the driving force of its development in the third millennium. Materials and Methods. The basis of the study is V.A. Sukhomlinsky’s works and the products of his rich educational practice, as well as materials from those who studied the innovator’s creative heritage. The research methodology was based on the conceptual provisions of humanistic pedagogy. The specific methodological tools included the principles of integrity and consistency, objectivity, universal connection of phenomena, combination of retrospective and prospective development, along with sociocultural and system-functional principles. In addition to general scientific methods, such as system-structural analysis and synthesis, the research process also involved formal logical research methods. Results. The study expands and concretizes the existing knowledge about the development of pedagogical theory and school practice in the second half of the 20th century. Identified and characterized are the key ideas and scientific positions of V.A. Sukhomlinsky, the prominent representative of the studied period. They were the foundation of his pedagogical system and played an important role in enriching the theoretical and methodological foundations of pedagogy, the content and support (methodological and technological) of modern educational practice and will certainly become the driving force of its development in the medium and long term. Even though V.A. Sukhomlinsky lived and worked in an ideologized epoch, difficult for creative work, he managed to develop his own pedagogical system, in which the poetic and popular idea merged with its scientific foundations. V.A. Sukhomlinsky’s pedagogy is in many respects the pedagogy of the present and the future. It is entirely aimed at the realization of the humanistic ideal. The concepts of goodness and humanity, preached by the educator, nowadays win more and more supporters. As many other provisions of the innovator concerning the construction of the educational process, they can undoubtedly become one of the cornerstones of developing the educational practice in the third millennium. Conclusion. V.A. Sukhomlinsky’s multifaceted activity not only enriched pedagogical science with new ideas and provisions, but also can rightfully be regarded as an important stage in its development. Nowadays, when the world has entered the third millennium and the pedagogical community solves the problems associated with the renewal of the content essence of all parts of education, we believe that the ideas and practical experience of the outstanding teacher will play a productive role in this process. Keywords: upbringing of a comprehensively developed personality, humanization of the pedagogical process, regental function of upbringing, system-forming factor of upbringing, unity of teaching and upbringing

Construction of a model for evaluating the efficiency of technology transfer process based on a fuzzy logic approach

The object of research is technology transfer, which covers the mechanism of transfer of technological knowledge and innovations from developers to end users or manufacturers. The problem to be solved is to provide a relevant assessment of the effectiveness of technology transfer by applying modern economic and mathematical models (based on the method of fuzzy logic) to assess the effectiveness of technology transfer under conditions of uncertainty. The main results obtained: a fuzzy-logical model for evaluating the level of the technology transfer efficiency indicator was built; it is performed according to the following algorithm: 1) the involvement of three components of technology transfer – technological, financial, and marketing as input variables of the model, which are calculated on the basis of statistical and financial reporting data, expert surveys; 2) selection of parameters and type of membership function for three input variables and one output variable (integral indicator) and construction of a system of 27 logical rules; 3) determining the efficiency of technology transfer using Mamdani's fuzzy derivation and checking the adequacy of the model. A visualization of the "input-output" surface was performed, which determines the maximum value of the TTPE (TechnologyTransferProjectsEfficiency) indicator, which serves as a summary indicator for the success of technology transfer projects and is observed at high levels of model input variables. The indicator T (technical component of technology transfer efficiency), F (financial component of technology transfer efficiency), and M (marketing component of technology transfer efficiency) was introduced. The scientific results could be applied to determine the optimal ways of technology transfer to industry, to plan strategies for introducing new technological products to the market, taking into account the effectiveness of licensing, partnership, and cooperation processes
