Preface

Providing the national and world economy with mineral raw materials is an integral part of development and scientific and technological progress. The modern world is moving to new forms of interaction, concentrating its trends on digitalization, computerization and automation of all processes of human life. However, these trends require the use of strategically important minerals (coal, natural gas, ores of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, rare earth metals, construction raw materials, etc.), as well as critical raw materials, the list of which is supplemented every year in accordance with the trends of scientific and technological progress and the development of the state’s economy.About half of the industrial potential of Ukraine and up to 20% of its labor resources are related to the mining and use of minerals. Due to the export of mineral raw materials and products of their processing, Ukraine receives about 60% of the total amount of export revenues. At the same time, the subsoil of Ukraine still has a significant potential for building up the mineral and raw material base.The issue of mining and processing of minerals during the war requires special attention in Ukraine. The conference “Challenges of ensuring Ukraine’s mineral resources in the context of post-war reconstruction - 2023” is designed to contribute to solving the urgent issues of reconstruction and modernization of Ukraine after the end of the war and the country’s integration into the European Union.List of the committee members who organized the conference is available in the pdf.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ЗАГРОЗ ЕКОНОМІЧНІЙ БЕЗПЕЦІ ТА БЕЗПЕЦІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ПОВНОМАСШТАБНОЇ ВІЙНИ

The article defines an objective list of risks and threats for the economic security and security of the information space of the state in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. The main components of threats for the economic security of Ukraine and security-oriented information environment are summarized, including: macroeconomic, production, financial, foreign economic, investment and innovation, social and food security. The systematization and analysis of current challenges and threats made it possible to identify the most significant of them – financial security, which dually reflects the growth of the state budget deficit and the increase in the state debt and expenses for its maintenance, which are the direct economic consequences of a prolonged high-intensity war, as well as factors that cause a fundamental negative influence on the economic security of Ukraine in medium and long-term dimensions. It has been proven that considering a wide range of threats for the economic security is an important step in the formation of effective strategies for the stability and state’ protection. The key directions of action to reduce threats for the food safety have been identified in the article. The manufacturing sector of Ukraine was significantly affected by the high-intensity hostilities with the aggressor country, which caused the destruction or suspension of key, largely export-oriented enterprises, mainly in the metallurgical, chemical and machine-building sectors. The impact of immediate destruction was worsened by the disruption of the logistics of both the domestic market and export routes, a significant increase in the cost of a number of important processes, the loss of part of the labor potential due to forced migrations, as well as the involvement of part of the workers in the Defense Forces, in addition, starting from the fall of 2022, – a complication with energy supply. The effectiveness of adapting the state’s investment strategy to the difficult conditions of war has been proven in the article. The priority of considering the process of risk transformation in wartime is justified, which helps to develop strategies to preserve the economic security of the country. The above makes it necessary to model and forecast the dynamics of Ukraine’s economy in the medium term in order to develop government solutions to ensure the economic security of the state, aimed at the recovery and modernization of Ukraine’s economy in the conditions of war and post-war recovery

Professional strengthening of the Ukrainian parliament: features, strategic orientations

The professional strengthening of the parliament is considered as a problem of ensuring the democratic choice of Ukraine in the bifurcation space of the 21st century. It has been found that the parliament and society are those components, the interaction of which decisively depends on the success of political modernization in Ukraine. The representative form of government serves both for parliamentary and professional activities as a means of realizing the potential of reason, honesty and justice that exist in the country. All actions of parliamentarians should be imbued, according to J. Stuart Mill, with «constitutional morality», that is, the unity of legal and ethical principles. In the context of the challenges of the 21st century, the tasks to be solved by the national parliament are significantly more complicated, the bar of requirements for parliamentarians is noticeably raised, the problem of humanizing the political dialogue both in the parliament and in society is acute. Realization of the country’s development potential requires the parliament to find such forms of its work that would take into account not only the positive experience of European countries, but also the important fact that the starting conditions and development paths of various societies to democracy are significantly different from each other. In Ukraine, in particular, mass consciousness is still far from the legal consciousness of citizens of developed countries. Ukrainian society must simultaneously make transitions from traditionality to modernity and from modernity to postmodernity. Accordingly, the dialogization of parliamentary communication is an important strategic guideline, because it is difficult to implement a constructive dialogue between the government and the opposition both in the parliament and in society as a whole. Intolerance, passion, uncriticalness – these signs of a bipolar stereotype – are being overcome in Ukraine extremely slowly, the usual «black and white» thinking, perception and assessment of others according to the formula: «ours and strangers», «we are democrats – they are anti-democrats» are preserved. Deafness to objections from real life is especially dangerous, considering that ahead is a long and difficult work to rebuild the country precisely together, by the whole society after the tragic consequences of wartime. The project of the future should mature precisely in the co-creation of the state and society on the path of democratic governance, with the recognition of the moral imperative and the leading role of the parliament, which in itself will mean effective parliamentarism, testifying to the level of the culture of parliamentarism. The ability and will to reach agreements, conscious rather than forced compromises, are essential elements of the culture of democracy, the culture of parliamentarism. Any reform of the political system must be based on the need to ensure a balance between presidential power and parliamentary control. The systematic and high quality of laws, verified not only in the legal and economic sense, but also in the psychological sense, is the way to restore trust in the Ukrainian parliament. Determining the nature of the interaction between the state and society as co-creation is of key importance, because it opens the way to understanding the importance of the culture of parliamentarism, high professionalism based on positive science, education, culture at every workplace in the process of democratic transformations in Ukraine.

The role of land management in the process of economic modernization in Ukraine

The cause-and-effect relationship between economic modernization and land management, the role of the latter in the process of modernization of Ukraine, as well as the transformation of the content and practices related to land management in the growth and post-war reconstruction of the country are studied. The key role of land management in economic modernization, with an emphasis on the importance of land management practices in overcoming the consequences of the armed conflict in Ukraine, is noted. The analysis of legislative and regulatory acts of Ukraine regarding economic modernization indicates a predominantly narrowed, albeit direct, application of its context: first of all, in relation to the modernization of infrastructure, material and technical base; ecological modernization of enterprises; updating technical and technological processes taking into account the impact on the environment; on social aspects and education, as well as systems of administration, such as public administration and public finance. Whereas in connection with land management, the context of economic modernization in the regulatory and legal acts of Ukraine (as of June 1, 2023) can only be indirectly highlighted in connection with projects and documents, some of which relate to agriculture. The structural and logical scheme reflecting the role of land management in the process of economic modernization of Ukraine is justified. It is noted that land management practices contribute, among other, to the solution of such urgent problems as ensuring food security, attracting investments in agriculture, in particular, in the context of its modernization and infrastructure development, as well as emphasizing the role of land management as an important component of the European integration process of Ukraine, which provides for the approximation of national land legislation to the EU acquis.

Role of Jewish joint distribution committee in Ukraine reconstruction in 1920s

The contribution of American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and its subsidiary corporation Agro-Joint to the socio-economic development and modernization of Ukraine in the 20s of the 20th century is highlighted. Based on the analysis of historical sources and publications of the Soviet press, it was found that during this period the mentioned organizations played an important role in the socio-economic processes that took place in South of Ukraine and in Crimea. This was connected with overcoming the consequences of the famine, restoration social structure and agriculture, as well as the organization of new Jewish agricultural colonies on allocated lands. The purpose of the study is to clarify the nature of the activities of Joint and Agro-Joint in the 20s of the 20th century in the social sphere and the agricultural sector and to evaluate the results of this activity from the perspective of today. As a result of the research, it was found that the main activity of Joint and Agro-Joint consisted in the organization of large-scale humanitarian, social, technical and agricultural assistance to the inhabitants of Jewish settlements and non-Jewish population of a number of districts in Odesa, Katerynoslav, Donetsk, Volyn provinces and Crimea. At the same time, special attention was paid to the development of associations, the arrangement of life and the supply of equipment, its rational use during agricultural work. It has been found that a public figure, agronomist, and then deputy director of Agro-Joint Samuil Yukhymovich Lyubarskyi (Shmuel-Aba Khaimovich) (1878–1938) played a major role in the organization of charitable and socially oriented aid. Based on the analysis of his article in «Ukrainian Agricultural Gazette» and other works, it was possible to establish hitherto little-known facts from the history of Joint Distribution Committee and Agro-Joint Corporation, which vividly characterize their humanitarian and restorative activities in the specified period.

GLOBAL CONSTITUTIONALISM AS A THINKING ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES IN CONDITIONS OF EXTREME UNCERTAINTY: QUO VADIS?

The article considers the use of the phenomenology of global constitutionalism as thinking about constitutional values in the conditions of extreme uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine's war with Russia.
 The author argues that despite the fact that the active process of globalization continues to rapidly affect and affect the structure of legal systems, and international law, unfortunately, is not always an effective tool for managing these changes contrary to their own principles and customs, to help him comes the phenomenology of global constitutionalism, which serves to limit state power (even democratic), applied at the state level, taking into account the principles of the rule of law, protection of human rights and democracy.
 It is argued that the relevance of lawyers' research on global constitutionalism, in particular the impact of globalization on the development of constitutional law, due to a number of factors, including the following: A) the subject of constitutional law in countries of the world depending on their economic development; B) the essence of constitutional control under conditions of extreme uncertainty becomes important.
 It is stated that one of the most important features of modern constitutionalism of Ukraine, first, is the autonomy of the regulation of constitutional proceedings. In conditions of uncertainty, Ukraine continues to carry out judicial reform, but the issue of improving the procedure for selecting judges to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine remains relevant; secondly, there are real difficulties in constitutional and legal regulation of administrative and territorial reform and risks to the formation of a possible policy of constitutional modernization of Ukraine in the territories occupied by the Russian Federation, especially the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in digitalization. The formation of Ukrainian constitutionalism in the context of global digitalization should be facilitated by the consolidation of new requirements for law enforcement and law enforcement of constitutional and legislative guidelines in digital format; thirdly, in the process of globalization, the safeguards of the loss of national sovereignty and international legal personality of Ukraine should be the improvement and implementation of legislation on the procedural procedure for consideration by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine of cases on national security and state secrets.

Current Trends in the Development of Higher Library and Information Education in Germany

The purpose of the article is to explore the experience and identify best practices for modernizing the content and organizational structure of the librarians’ graduate training in Germany.
 The methodology. The research was conducted using a set of theoretical and empirical methods of scientific knowledge. These allowed to identify the main stages of evolution of the higher library education system in Germany, the establishment of classical and innovative models of its modern development. The following scientific approaches were cognitive tools for achieving this goal: system, historical, comparative, as well as research methods: statistical, modelling, content analysis of the 19 German Universities’ 30 educational programs for Bachelors, Masters and Doctors of Philosophy in “Library and Information Sciences”.
 The results. The generalization of the study’s empirical basis allowed us to conclude that 19 German Universities offer more than 30 educational programs to their applicants for “Library and Information Sciences” higher education at various levels, including 45% bachelor’s, 35% master’s, and 20% doctoral degrees. Terms of bachelor’s educational programs are 3–3.5 years, master’s — 2–2.5 years, doctoral — 3–4 years. In the context of the global communication space digitalization the most popular are universal educational programs in “Information Systems”, “Information Science”, and “Information Management”, which train professionals for all types of information institutions and provide extensive opportunities for profiling with a focus on scientific information management or solutions tasks of library, cultural and educational management with a focus on work in school, university and public libraries.
 The topicality. Germany has a long tradition of forming a national book culture and training high-quality librarians, which contributed to the development of one of Europe’s most powerful library, publishing and bookselling industries. Germany’s accession to the Bologna Process made adjustments to the national system of training librarians, identified new vectors of its European integration development, formed modern models for the educational process optimization through the implementation of levelling, succession, flexibility, and interdisciplinarity of education programs in library. In the context of the higher library education system modernization in Ukraine, these innovative practices need to be studied to determine the possibilities of borrowing the most effective of them.
 The practical significance. The results of the analysis of the profiling of modern bachelor’s and master’s degrees in German universities show their interdisciplinarity and focus on training a universal information specialist capable of performing professional tasks in all types of document communication institutions (libraries, archives, media libraries, publishing houses, news agencies, mass media, etc.). Starting with the 3rd semester most bachelor’s degree programs provide their applicants with a choice of a particular specialization, deepening professional competencies through a wide range of optional disciplines and training through participation in the implementation of real interdisciplinary projects. This experience of German colleagues should be borrowed by Ukraine as well.

DETERMINATION OF PROSPECTIVE DIRECTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CASHLESS CALCULATIONS AND THEIR STANDARDIZATION FOR THE UKRAINIAN PAYMENTS MARKET

The current state of the banking system takes place in conditions of high competition and rapid development of innovative innovations in the field of payments. Secure and efficient payments are crucial for users, banks and the economy as a whole. That is why an important and urgent task for the state and the banking system is to understand and form a clear course for the introduction of new types of calculations. Today, the trend is non-cash payments that are increasingly pushing cash out of circulation. The paper describes the definition of "non-cash payments" and their functioning in the light of national experience. The process of regulation of settlements by the regulatory framework in Ukraine was considered. An analysis of the self-regulation of the payment industry and the principles of its implementation in foreign countries was conducted. The current state of non-cash payments in banks and financial institutions of Ukraine is given. The article considers new forms of non-cash payments that are already used abroad in developed countries and the possibility of their introduction and standardization in the Ukrainian financial and banking sector. An analysis of the state of use of plastic payment cards and modernization in Ukraine was conducted. Different types of PoS-terminals are also characterized and their comparative characteristics are carried out.

Reality of Primary Education Development in the Conditions of the New School

Under analysis in the following article there is the postmodern conception of primary education development in the New Ukrainian School given the relevant pedagogical principles of child-centrism, given the age and individual mental peculiarities of the pupil's personality, child's creative subjectivity actualization, social partnership in the inclusive environment and competence-oriented education. The postmodern orientation of the primary education rebuilding as a start for the New Ukrainian School innovative development has been enlightened. The competence approach to the vocational pedagogical activity in the conditions of the New Ukrainian School and the perspectives of the primary education development in Ukraine according to the state quality assessment standards have been taken into account. The teaching techniques and priorities in young pupils' education in the New Ukrainian School and elementary school in the European Union states have been studied. There has been observed a significant advantage of the new postmodern reality model, being formed on the ground of childcentrism (interest to the child's unique inner world rather than to the degree of his/her knowledge), techniques of «non-linear», critical, flexible and creative thinking of the partners in the inclusive educational process, vocational thinking, summarizing pedagogical knowledge as subjective fundamental construction – unique response to the postmodern education variability. There has been outlined that the elementary school system rebuilding and modernization in Ukraine is based upon the experience of the primary education in the European Union states.

PRODUCTION GREENING AND EXPAND OF EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES OF UKRAINE UNDER EU ASSOCIATION

Topicality. The urgency of the problem of greening and development of export opportunities of Ukrainian producers today is growing due to the need to adapt to changes in the European Green Deal, as well as the need for environmental modernization, which creates new opportunities for export and prevents the negative impact of non-tariff environmental restrictions. Ensuring environmental modernization of production are key and relevant factors for sustainable development and competitiveness of enterprises, the basis for successful international cooperation. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and practical proposals that should justify the principles of greening the economy and the mechanism of their practical implementation at the enterprise level in terms of association with the EU. The proposed measures of ecological modernization of enterprises can be implemented at almost any export-oriented enterprise. Research results. In terms of environmental efficiency, Ukraine ranks 60th in the world. The structure of capital investments in environmental protection by types of environmental measures and types of economic activity where ecological modernization is taking place in Ukraine is determined. The changes due to the introduction of the European Green Course, as well as the consequences for Ukrainian exporters are outlined. A number of measures have been proposed at the enterprise level that will eliminate the risk of restricting access of Ukrainian goods to the EU market due to new "climate" non-tariff barriers to trade, including: reducing the use of non-renewable energy sources, transition to more energy and resource-efficient technologies. technologies that create a smaller carbon footprint, increase attention to the environmental characteristics of goods and services, active participation in the standardization process in accordance with international standards, introduce into production practices technical regulations harmonized with EU standards, entering the EU public procurement market with "green" goods Conclusion. The basis for the development of exports by Ukrainian enterprises is further integration into the EU market, which leads to increasing dependence of Ukrainian producers on the greening of the economy of the common European market. In anticipation of the introduction of new non-tariff environmental barriers to SWAM in the framework of the association with the EU in 2023, Ukrainian exporters must already adapt to these requirements. Prospects for future research in the field of greening of export industries are related to the mechanisms of transition to environmentally friendly industries and finding adequate to the economic situation sources of funding for environmental modernization of Ukraine's economy.

Origins of inclusive education of students in Ukraine

This study deals with the author’s version of the reconstruction of history of formation and development of the state approach to the education of children with disabilities (or special educational needs) in Ukraine in the period 1920–2019. For the first time, a systematic coverage of the experience gained by Ukraine in correctional and rehabilitation work and education of such children and the individualization of education of students with primary academic failure at primary school. The contribution of Ukrainian teachers and psychologists to the development of special pedagogy is briefly covered. Particular attention is paid to the ideas of Yu. Hilbukh (1920–2000) in the context of primary school education for students having diffculties in mastering the curriculum, which we consider a variable annunciator of inclusive education. The change of the pedagogical paradigm concerning the education of children with special needs is substantiated due to the introduction in 2017 of modern international principles of inclusive education. In conclusion, it is stated that the introduction of inclusive education indicates the modernization of Ukraine’s humanitarian policy in the direction of further humanization of education. At the same time, it is emphasized that it would be wrong not to take into account the scientific and experimental base created in previous years for the study of such children and the experience of their education, rehabilitation and socialization.
