Addressing Public Policy Implementation Challenges in Lagging Regions Through the Analytical Lens of Smart Specialisation

Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) research has contributed to better understanding of that policy framework’s conceptual underpinnings but some European regions still find it difficult to turn S3 theory into policy implementation. A key element of the implementation challenge concerns the enabling or constraining role of local institutions on regional development strategies and, more specifically, the entrepreneurial discovery process (EDP). Such a challenge appears to be particularly acute (and empirically unexplored) in lagging regions, characterised by weaker knowledge bases and innovation capacities. It is often in less advanced settings where weaker institutions are found. This paper addresses these gaps by investigating S3 implementation in lagging regions focusing on the dynamic interdependence between the regional institutional environment and EDP. It evidences how particular features of the regional institutional environment hinder EDP, as well as how institutional change could enable S3 implementation in two Greek regions. Our results reveal mutual interdependence between inadequate institutions and weak administrative and entrepreneurial capacities, creating adverse pre-conditions for S3 implementation. They also suggest that change requires the replacement of existing features of the institutional environment or creation of new ones, rather than gradual institutional adaptation or transformation.

Collaborative domestication

This article proposes an extension to domestication theory by introducing the concept of collaborative domestication, which we define as the ongoing mutual influence and interdependence of technology users in specific interactional contexts. This concept arose from our investigation of how patients integrate healthcare-related video consultations into their daily lives. In Denmark, the Covid-19 pandemic has expedited the implementation of video consultations in general practice, yet little is known about their use in this context. To address this, we conducted 13 interviews with patients and analysed the interviews from the perspective of domestication theory. We find that the general practitioner plays a central role throughout patients’ domestication processes, and the doctor–patient relationship significantly influences how patients experience video consultations. We argue that there is a collaborative aspect to domesticating video consultations that needs to be considered in both future studies and the ongoing implementation of video consultations

In search of a competency gap in the era of Industry 4.0 – the case of Manager 4.0 in Poland

Purpose: The main objective of the research is to identify a competence gap in "Industry4.0" – the difference between the competencies currently acquired by students at universities with a technical and economic profile, and the competencies desired by companies from the industrial processing sector. Design/methodology/approach: Empirical material was obtained in two studies. The first survey was conducted among 120 companies in the industrial engineering sector, while the second was carried out among over a thousand students and graduates of economic and technical universities. Findings: This work contributes to an in-depth understanding of companies’ needs regarding “Manager 4.0” competencies, and enables the identification of existing educational gaps. Our research results show that there is a competence gap on the labour market in each of the analysed categories of competencies: social, personal, managerial, technical and professional. At the same time, some differences are visible between students of economic and technical universities. The findings of the study suggest the need to redesign student education programs at universities so as to provide interdisciplinary education taking into account key competencies for Industry 4.0. Research limitations/implications: We identified three limitations of our research, resulting both from the size of the research sample of the analyzed comapanies, the possible ambiguity of the respondents' understanding of the examined competences (ambiguity of their interpretations) and their mutual interdependencies, as well as the subjective assessment of the students themselves. Practical and social implications: The study indicated the need for specific employee competencies, the development of which requires interdisciplinary study programmes in areas including production engineering and management. Besieds, the results of our research are particularly important for adapting employee training systems. We assume that the development of new training programs best suited to the needs of the market (need for specific employee competencies) should be done through cooperation between companies in the industrial processing sector and the academic community. Originality/value: The conclusions of the research shed new light on requirements regarding managerial positions in companies from the industrial processing sector, by indicating the need to modify curricula at universities in selected areas of competence. Keywords: Industry 4.0, Manager 4.0, human resources, managerial competencies. Category of the paper: Research paper.

Termination of Criminal Proceedings on Dispositive Grounds: Compromise or Forgiveness?

Introduction. The current period of development of the Russian Federation is characterised by the humanisation of criminal law policy, which requires the optimisation of the application of criminal repression measures. The conviction of a person and the imposition of criminal punishment to him ceases to be considered as the only possible outcome of criminal proceedings. The cessation of criminal proceedings on non-rehabilitating grounds in many cases is a sufficient preventive means to force the accused to abandon committing new crimes in the future – recidivism. In this way, criminal repression measures are saved, and the number of convicted persons is reduced, which is certainly a positive social factor. The current criminal procedure law provides for several discretionary grounds for the termination of criminal proceedings. At the same time, the legal nature of these grounds has not received an unequivocal interpretation in science. The nature of the discretionary grounds for the termination of criminal proceedings as a compromise between the parties to the prosecution and the defense has gained some traction among the procedural experts. However, the concept of compromise is rather controversial and does not fully correspond to the purpose of criminal proceedings. The alternative concept of leniency should be analysed as a basis for ending prosecutions on discretionary grounds. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The aim of the study is to develop a conceptual basis for the termination of criminal proceedings, based on the appointment of criminal proceedings and socio-political factors that determine the normative regulation of criminal procedure. The objectives of the study are: a critical analysis of theoretical approaches that reveal the essence of ending criminal prosecution on discretionary grounds, and the formulation of the author’s concept of ending criminal prosecution. The study is based on the dialectical-materialistic method, which involves studying all aspects of the phenomenon in question, taking into account mutual ties and interdependencies. Methods such as formal legal, deductions and induction, analysis and synthesis were also used. Results. The legal essence of the discretionary grounds cannot be regarded as a compromise, since in this case the same social value of the interests belonging to the victim and the accused is recognised. It is all the more unacceptable to regard as a compromise the activities of the accused that facilitate the conduct of the proceedings, since this interpretation indicates the self-worth of the procedural rules, which is contrary to the purpose of criminal proceedings. The discretionary grounds for the termination of criminal proceedings constitute a degree of forgiveness by the State of the accused because of his positive post-criminal behaviour. Accordingly, the dismissal of a criminal case on these grounds should be carried out against defendants who have committed a crime under the influence of a specific situation and do not have a persistent anti-social attitude. Discussion and Conclusion. The article critically analyses the main provisions of the concept of compromise as the basis for the termination of a criminal case, and provides arguments in favour of the concept of forgiveness. In this way, directions are outlined for continuing the discussion on this issue.

ЛОГІСТИЧНЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ СТІЙКОГО ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ТУРИСТИЧНОЇ СФЕРИ

In the article discusses possible logistics operations and functions on the example of the tourism sector, taking into account the diversity of technological, product and territorial specialization, the scale of activities and the size of production capacity, the complexity of organizational relationships in tourism enterprises and between them. Attention is drawn to the fact that the specialization and unification of managerial influences on the logistics system requires its functional decomposition to the elementary level of management functions. The synthesis of control operations is carried out on the basis of mutual necessity and interdependence. That is, this is a new combination of simple elements into a single workable functional. Analysis, synthesis of operations and management functions determine the emergence of logistics systems. The use of conceptual approaches of logistics, while maintaining the technological specialization of a tourist enterprise, allows the formation of economically sustainable tourist territorial and economic units. On the example of the tourism sector, the following classifications of logistics operations and functions are defined: logistics operations with – material flows, information flows, financial flows, in relation to service flows. The following functions of logistical flow management are identified – planning, prompt response, analysis and decomposition, control, coordination. Also, depending on the level of business organization, logistics functions in a tourism enterprise are divided into basic, key and supporting. Applying models of logistics functions and operations in accordance with classification approaches to solve specific problems, the management of a tourism enterprise receives significant advantages over other participants in the tourism services market. Optimization of the economic efficiency of the enterprise is carried out on the basis of classification knowledge and professional competence. The classification of logistics operations and functions allows structuring the knowledge accumulated by modern science of managing business entities.

Mutual Interdependency between China, India and Nepal

Due to geographical proximity and historically long multi-faceted linkages between China, India and Nepal their foreign policy with each other is not distinctly independent but is mutually interdependent. This paper argues that Nepal's foreign policy has always prioritized maintaining balanced relation with these two nations for safeguarding its national interests, integrity and independence. While doing so it will also shed light upon how Nepal has age old and deep rooted relations between both China and India whereupon Nepal-China and Nepal-India relations have evolved through different circumstances, stages and periods till date.

W. A. Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor K. 397 and L. van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 31 No. 2: Semantic and Performance Aspects

Background. The issue of performance interpretation is one of the most debatable in musicology. The article states that tonality of a musical piece is a factor that determines the performance strategy. There are many examples showing that the composer’s choice of the tonality was not accidental, rather was determined by tradition, artistic design, and the composer’s own life experience. The purpose of the article is an attempt to “decipher” the meaning of the two works in the key of D minor – one of the most meaningful and symbolic tonality – from two perspectives: musical and extra-musical contexts in order to reveal the performance strategy. Literature review. The study of the recent research and publications indicates that there is a lack of works investigating semantics of tonalities from two perspectives: 1) the influence of tonality on the composition and dramaturgy of the work; 2 those performance means by which the semantics can be “deciphered”. This statement can be substantiated by the work of L. Kazantseva (2006). Among the works on this topic is the dissertation of E. Hackmey (2012) on Mozart “Fantasy in D minor”, where the author traces the influence of this key on the composer’s work; a chapter from L. Kyrylina’s book about Beethoven (2009), which refers to the composer’s perception of this key; the article by D Schroeder (1990) discussing parallels and mutual interdependences between Beethoven, Strindberg, Berg, and others. The novelty of the study is manifested in the formulation of such questions as 1) the dependence of the composition and dramaturgy of a musical work on its tonality; 2) the ways in which tonality specifies the performance strategy. Research methods. The study uses four main methods: 1) historical, which allows considering a musical work as an agent of a certain style (in this case - classicism); 2) genre method, which represents the work in the unity of typological and individual features; 3) semantic method, which reveals the meaning of the work; 4) interpretation performance approach, which allows building a strategy for performing a musical work. The term “performance strategy” is used in the meaning, proposed by O. Pupina (2015: 9), as an “individual approach of a pianist to the use of performance means with the aim of creating intonation and sound pattern of a musical text”. We also share the view of Yu.Nikolaievska (2017a: 105) on the performance strategy as a means of communication, namely “interpretation of the Other as a subject of meaning addressing”. Conclusion. The works of W. A. Mozart and L. Van Beethoven (Fantasia in D minor, K. 397 and Piano Sonata Op. 31 No. 2) were written in the most significant, turning points in the lives of these composers (even tragic in the case of Beethoven). This led to an extremely personal tone of expression in these works. The choice of the key is by no means accidental, because in the days of Mozart and Beethoven the key of D minor had a tragic, vital and “fateful” semantics. Due to this, modern researchers can interpret tonality as a symbol. The choice of such a meaningful key determines the specific features of the composition and dramatic organization of the works under consideration. These features embody the dialectic of opposites: incompleteness and completeness, continuity and discreteness, balance and its violation, simplicity and complexity of images, stylistic unity and plurality, major and minor coloring, and so on. Identified features of composition and dramatic organization require the search for a specific performance strategy, which should be based on an understanding of the symbolic complexity of the key in D minor, with the active use of music-acoustic thesaurus (Kalashnyk, Loshkov, Yakovliev, Henkin, & Savchenko, 2021).

Implementing the Innovation Strategy in International SMEs

Thanks to a relationship of mutual interdependence developed between the formulation of the internationalization strategy and innovation, on a larger scale they are entitled as decisive factors in the process of lasting growth of SMEs. The aim is to study the connections between internationalization, innovation and strategy as well as the results in terms of business competitiveness, covering a relatively consistent gap in terms of knowledge and inconclusive or even diffuse interactions regarding these interactions. In terms of internationalization, innovation and strategy, failure rates are quite high and have correspondingly consistent costs for companies. These are related to implementation details. Assuming there is a poor implementation of internationalization, innovation and strategy and to the extent that firms examine in detail each dimension of their business, they will tolerate an increase in costs. Even in these conditions, contrary to their weight, many SMEs do not have structured processes and protocols for internationalization, innovation and strategy. In entrepreneurial micro-enterprises, which is the main object of research, this aspect is particularly important and real. Identifying the tools used by companies to design the processes of development and implementation of internationalization, innovation and strategy, determinants and causes is very important to identify the main factors with particular impact on business performance and how these effects act or occur.

No Longer Lost on the Human Highway:

In recent years, Canadian/US singer, songwriter, and author Neil Young’s production shows increased signs of environmental awareness, manifested in his promotion of biofuels, critique of genetic manipulation, biotechnology, and ecocide, as well as in his warm attitude to non-human animals. These issues are dealt with in detail in his recent memoir Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars (2015), as well as on his recently released albums such as The Monsanto Years (2015) and Earth (2016). While this interest in the natural world could be seen as a simple expression of a 1960s countercultural hippie world view, this essay will propose a different reading of the meaning of animals and the non-human in Young’s Special Deluxe by placing it in the context of human–animal studies and its critique of anthropocentrism. By reading the memoir’s representations of non-human animals in tandem with the emphatic role of the environment on Young’s recent albums, this essay argues that Young’s recent work reveals an increased concern for relationality and non-humans in human life and thus problematizes modernity’s insistence on anthropocentrism and human mastery over nature. Based on the critique of modernity and its anthropocentric hierarchies presented by human–animal studies scholarship (Haraway 2008; Armstrong 2008; Marvin and McHugh 2014), it is suggested that Young’s work foregrounds an explicit concern with the non-human world through its increasing focus on the relationality of the human and the non-human, and their mutual interdependence. The importance of non-human others, especially dogs, to the memoir’s narrator is addressed in detail, and the close transspecies relationship seen as an example of the emotional significance of non-human others in everyday life. Keywords: Neil Young, Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars, environmentalism, human–animal studies, anthropocentricism

The Application of Psychology in Literary Creation

Creation of literary is derived from people's thinking activities, which is an art that reflects the inner world of writers with language as the carrier. Psychology is a science that studies the occurrence, development and activity rules of psychological phenomena, as well as a broad subject. With the development of the times and the research of many scholars, the relationship between psychology and literature is more and more obvious, showing the characteristics of mutual interpretation and interdependence. Through the purification theory and psychoanalysis theory in psychology, the author further expounds the importance of psychology in literary research and the application of psychology in modern literary creation.

Dyskusje wokół edukacji i rozwoju w Dubaju w trakcie Global Education & Skills Forum (GESF) – globalne forum czy edukacja globalna? Wybrane aspekty poszukiwania nowych rozwiązań edukacyjnych w dobie globalizacji

The article presents selected references to the Global Education & Skills Forum (GESF), an initiative of the Varkey Foundation and hosted every March in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). The Forum has been organized since 2013 as a multi-day educational forum. It gathers representatives from more than 100 countries every year. Education ministers from different countries worldwide are also among participants. Sunny Varkey, the Varkey Foundation’s Chairman, founded the Global Teacher Prize to identify an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession. It is given every year during the GESF. This article presents some examples from recent years. Such issues as the outline of the concept of development and global education or a brief description of GESF with analogies to Forum in Davos are also being discussed in the article. Summary version of the concept of development with some references to the sphere of education, especially global education, shows that such issues as North–South relations, especially mutual interdependencies or Sustainable Development Goals (2015), are related to global education. Lexical aspects of the Forum name are also being discussed. Global education in Poland is, in fact, sometimes misinterpreted or defined in isolation from its immanent conceptual scope what is shown by different researchers.

A model for learning based on the joint estimation of stochasticity and volatility

Previous research has stressed the importance of uncertainty for controlling the speed of learning, and how such control depends on the learner inferring the noise properties of the environment, especially volatility: the speed of change. However, learning rates are jointly determined by the comparison between volatility and a second factor, moment-to-moment stochasticity. Yet much previous research has focused on simplified cases corresponding to estimation of either factor alone. Here, we introduce a learning model, in which both factors are learned simultaneously from experience, and use the model to simulate human and animal data across many seemingly disparate neuroscientific and behavioral phenomena. By considering the full problem of joint estimation, we highlight a set of previously unappreciated issues, arising from the mutual interdependence of inference about volatility and stochasticity. This interdependence complicates and enriches the interpretation of previous results, such as pathological learning in individuals with anxiety and following amygdala damage.

Thyroid Function Test in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Background: Kidneys have a significant role in the metabolism, degradation and excretion of thyroid hormones. Both thyroid hormones and kidney functions have a multifaceted mutual interdependence.
 Objectives: To find out the possible association between the severity of chronic kidney disease and thyroid dysfunction; To estimate the correlation between thyroid dysfunction and various stages of chronic kidney disease.
 Materials and Methods: A prospective Cross-sectional study was done on 50 patients with Chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis and fulfilled all the inclusion criteria at Saveetha medical college over a period of 6 months. Free T3, Free T4 and TSH levels were estimated for those patients.
 Results: Results of this study showed that majority of subjects included in our study were in the age group of 50-60 years with Male predominance. Out of 50 patients included in our study, 8 patients(16%) were found to hypothyroidism; 5 patients (10%) were having subclinical hypothyroidism; 20 patients (40%) were having low T3 syndrome and 17 patients (34%) were having normal functioning thyroid gland. Staging of CKD was done in relation to the glomerular filtration rate .Most of the patients(n=20) were in Stage 5 of Chronic kidney disease out of which 18 patients were having thyroid disorders.
 Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the severity of CKD and thyroid dysfunction. Hence a routine thyroid function status should be evaluated in each and every patient of CKD to reduce the morbidity and mortality rate of CKD patients as well as reduce the social burden and health expenditure.

Contagion in Turkish Stock Market: Evidences from Developed and Emerging Markets

The aim of this paper is to empirically investigate financial contagion between developed and emerging markets and Turkish stock market. With this purpose, daily closing values of Turkish (BIST100), US (SPX), German (DAX), Brazilian (IBOV), Russian (RTSI), Indian (NIFTY), Chinese (SHCOMP) market indexes for the period 04.01.2000-12.11.2019 have been used in cointegration and causality analyses, where the latter takes into account structural breaks endogenously. While findings of co-integration analysis demonstrate tendency of Turkish stock market to move together with developed markets SPX and DAX, and with NIFTY from among emerging ones, allowing for structural breaks has been found significant in terms of methodological perspective. Findings from causality analysis, on the other hand, indicate presence of various causality relations among markets, including unilateral relations from SPX and DAX to BIST100, bilateral relations of BIST100 with IBOV and NIFTY, and unilateral ones of RTSI and SHCOMP with BIST100 index. Our analyses in general point out contagion to Turkish market from both developed markets and Russia and China from among emerging markets, moreover mutual interdependence between Turkey and the emerging markets of Brazil and India.

Bringing the design perspective to coworking-spaces: Constitutive entanglement of actors and artifacts

Different forms of coworking spaces have spread worldwide that use various artifacts (e.g., office settings, décor, furniture, equipment) to strengthen autonomy, flexibility, spontaneous interactions, and intrinsic motivation. However, the various manifestations of coworking spaces limit clearly defined boundary conditions for their successful implementation and demand a profound understanding of the interactions that take place among actors and artifacts. Using a flexible pattern matching approach, our study explains that artifacts can contour and create the possibilities for actors and define the borders, e.g., when, where, and with whom to communicate and work in coworking spaces. Our findings indicate that actors and artifacts are constitutively entangled in coworking spaces and play a key role in the community development process by fostering a shared understanding and identity, mutual interdependency, and common practices.

China-Pakistan Relations under CPEC

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project was signed in 2015between Pakistan and China. Face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with different experts, such as intellectuals, politicians, and historians. Pakistan, being the neighboring country of China, did not miss the opportunity and responded to the call seriously and developed diplomatic relations with China in 1950. Pakistan became one of the few countries which recognized China at the earliest. For the last many decades, China has been providing military, technical, and economic assistance to the government of Pakistan. A qualitative research method has been used to achieve the research goals. This article explains how the growing investment of China establishes mutual interdependence for both countries. Since then, both countries have enjoyed the strength and perpetuity of bilateral relations.

Iterative Prediction-and-Optimization for E-Logistics Distribution Network Design

The emergence of online retailers has brought new opportunities to the design of their distribution networks. Notably, for online retailers that do not operate offline stores, their target customers are more sensitive to the quality of logistic services, such as delivery speed and reliability. This paper is motivated by a leading online retailer for cosmetic products on Taobao.com that aimed to improve its logistics efficiency by redesigning its centralized distribution network into a multilevel one. The multilevel distribution network consists of a layer of primary facilities to hold stocks from suppliers and transshipment and a layer of secondary facilities to provide last-mile delivery. There are two major challenges of designing such a facility network. First, online customers can respond significantly to the change of logistics efficiency with the redesigned network, thereby rendering the network optimized under the original demand distribution suboptimal. Second, because online retailers have relatively small sales volumes and are very flexible in choosing facility locations, the facility candidate set can be large, causing the facility location optimization challenging to solve. To this end, we propose an iterative prediction-and-optimization strategy for distribution network design. Specifically, we first develop an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict customer demands, factoring in the logistic service quality given the network and the city-level purchasing power based on demographic statistics. Then, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated to choose facility locations with minimum transportation, facility setup, and package processing costs. We further develop an efficient two-stage heuristic for computing high-quality solutions to the MILP model, featuring an agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm and an expectation and maximization algorithm. Subsequently, the ANN demand predictor and two-stage heuristic are integrated for iterative network design. Finally, using a real-world data set, we validate the demand prediction accuracy and demonstrate the mutual interdependence between the demand and network design. Summary of Contribution: We propose an iterative prediction-and-optimization algorithm for multilevel distribution network design for e-logistics and evaluate its operational value for online retailers. We address the issue of the interplay between distribution network design and the demand distribution using an iterative framework. Further, combining the idea in operational research and data mining, our paper provides an end-to-end solution that can provide accurate predictions of online sales distribution, subsequently solving large-scale optimization problems for distribution network design problems.

Relational Life: Lessons from Black Feminism on Whiteness and Engaging New Food Activism

AbstractCritical food scholarship and BIPOC‐led food activism are demanding government responsibility for developing equitable food systems, while contending with the failure of government to affirm Black and Brown lives. Heeding Black feminist calls for complex geographies, I trace the racial entanglements of food apartheid in daily life in Dubuque, Iowa, USA as they intersect with Growing Together, a community donation gardening program developed through federal nutrition education and state Cooperative Extension programs. Analysing interview data, I examine Growing Together’s lack of accountability for food apartheid in Dubuque, and I focus on radical strategies to disrupt racialised, taken for granted notions of city neighbourhoods as “with” and “without” food, knowledge, skills, or community character. Complex geographies reveal paths to reconfigure Growing Together around mutual interdependency and support of Black‐ and Brown‐led collective struggles against a racist state, paths that ultimately demand the deep governmental transformations called for within racial justice movements.

Place-Identity, People, and Existence: Reorienting Heideggerian ‘Dasein’ toward Postmodern Literary Geography of Allahabad City in Neelum Saran Gour’s Select Narratives

Abstract This article curates an interdisciplinary convergence of the “place” concept that envisions a postmodern literary city as a proximal zone of ephemeral human experiences with mutual interdependency rather than a modernist homogeneous galore of dystopian or utopian construct. Illustrating upon the alignment of simulation in the literary city of Allahabad (an Indian city that was recently renamed Prayagraj) in Indian English author Neelum Sara Gour’s Select Writings, this article will examine Gour’s spatial representation of Allahabad as a meaningful construction of its inhabitants subjective and collective experiences without ignoring its pertaining state in shaping human experiences. Such inseparability between place and human experience foregrounds the concept of place-identity as a “substructure of a person’s self-identity,” which resonates at the core of people’s existence or “being there,” that is dasein (Martin Heidegger, 1962) and theoretically positions an individual within “world of references,” briefly delineating upon nuanced emergence of humanist tradition in place research and its current epoch in contemporary concept of dasein toward postmodern literary geography, interrogating the triad of place-identity, people, and existence, blurring the epistemological debate between identity and existence to the complementary nature of both in terms with place.

ENVIRONMENTALIZATION OF PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION AMID GLOBALIZATION

Topicality. National reproduction processes are interconnected amid markets` globalization. The environmentalization of production and consumption forms the basis for the creation of an environmentally safe environment of human existence and its livelihoods in a country and in the world as a whole. There are new problems and trends of production and consumption environmentalization amid global process` impact that require further analysis and determine the relevance of the study Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to study the mutual influence of production and consumption environmentalization amid globalizations. The essence of environmentalization, its production and consumption trends, global processes` impact on environmentalization have been found out. Research results. The main environmental problems of Ukraine have been figured out in the article, i.e. water, air and soil pollution, fertility fall, significant amount of untreated and not recycled wastes at land fills Production and consumption environmentalization are an urgent issue for the development of internal and external markets. It is related to the environmental-biased businesses` development. It is a set of innovative changes in businesses` technical and technological activity, which contributes to the environmentally friendly and economically efficient business outcomes. It has been studied that among the forms of public assistance to businesses aimed to reduce their negative environmental impact, green tax allowance play stands out in the EU. The share of this tax in the state and local budgets of Ukraine has been analyzed. The lack of its restraining influence on environmental law violations as well as manufacturers` motivation who take care of the environment has been found out. The mutual influence and interdependence of production and consumption environmentalization, ambivalent impact of global processes on the consumption: due to the expanding consumption of environmentally friendly goods and services, and violations of low-income population`s consumption safety by supplying cheap environmentally hazardous goods produced by local and foreign manufacturers. The growth of external demand for domestic agro-industrial manufacturers` goods applying environmental certification and environmental marking to guarantee their production safety and promotion to the EU markets, and public procurement implementation had been analyzed. The significance of advertisement and other marketing activities of enterprises used to form environmentally conscious consumers and fuel the growth of their environmentally friendly products demand has been pointed out. Conclusion. Growth of environmental culture and education, national income and market capacity for environmentally friendly products, growing demand for more expensive, but health safe industrial and agricultural products, changing consumption structure drive joint efforts intensification at the national and international levels as for production and consumption of environmentally friendly goods. Domestic businesses` environmentalization contributes to the reproduction of a green ecosystem in Ukraine, saturation of internal and global markets by environmentally safe goods supplied by domestic producers. The state acts as a leader who stimulates environmentalization of public reproduction applying both direct and indirect impact methods.
