NITRO CELLULOSE POWDER CHARGES OF LONG SERVICE LIFE: PROBLEMS AND THEIR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

One of the components of the problem of Ukraine's national security is the loading of warehouses with a variety of ammunition with an expired guaranteed storage period.
 The experience of storing ammunition shows that during long-term storage, propylene powder used in ammunition is capable of spontaneously undergoing various physical and chemical transformations, which negatively affects the ballistic characteristics of ammunition. The lack of ammunition production in Ukraine has led to the fact that ammunition is currently in operation, the storage time of which reaches 25-30 years or more.
 This article analyzes publications devoted to scientific research related to the problems of ballistic stability of propellants.
 A number of factors are presented that affect the physicochemical stability of powder charges during their long-term operation.
 The generalizing data on changes in the main ballistic characteristics of ammunition at different periods of their storage are presented.
 It is assumed that one of the ways to improve the ballistic and energy characteristics of ammunition with long service lives can be the regeneration of nitrocellulose powder charges. It is shown that at present there are no methods for the regeneration of propellant charges of long service life. However, there are encouraging data on the treatment of propellants with hydrogen peroxide, on the basis of which a technology can be developed for the complete or partial restoration of the ballistic and energy characteristics of the propellant charge.
 It is presented that the predictive assessment of changes in the characteristics of ammunition with long service lives does not correspond to their real indicators.
 It has been determined that the problem of nitrocellulose propellants of long service life is complex and, on the basis of its solution, theoretical and methodological foundations of the regeneration of nitrocellulose propellant charges can be developed to homologate the ballistic and energy characteristics of ammunition.

Criminal and legal protection of national security: Problems of systematization of crimes

The chief idea of criminal law is to protect the individual, society, and the state from criminal encroachment. Defined by the legislator in the field of protection - the basics of national security, life and health, public safety, environment, etc. are subject to comprehensive research to improve the effectiveness of criminal law protection, which is of great practical importance. The foundations of national security are a multifaceted construction that requires detailed analysis. This work is devoted to the study of the conceptual foundations of systematization of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine as one of the fundamental aspects of the theoretical basis of the criminal law system. The work aims to study the conceptual foundations of the systematization of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine. The subject of study: problematic aspects of systematization of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine. The object of research: approaches to the systematization of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine. The authors used the following methods: observation, generalization, analysis, synthesis, experiment, formalization. As a result of the study, the universal definition of national security, the feasibility of a system of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine, determined as an experiment to develop subgroups under Section I of the Special Part of the Criminal Code.

Some features of criminal law relations in the field of border security of Ukraine

The article identifies separate features of criminal law relations in the field of border security of Ukraine. It is emphasized that the strengthening of existing and emergence of new threats in the field of national security of Ukraine, in particular, the exacerbation of certain problems of integrated border management, necessitates further rethinking and improving criminal relations in the field of border security of the state.
 Features of these legal relations are considered by us through the prism of specific species and scientific ap-proaches to their characteristics.It is substantiated that, taking into account the specifics of the sphere of legal regulation, the protective criminal relations, which are specific social relations that arise on the basis of the norms of criminal law between the state and a person who commits a concrete crime, enforcing the border security of Ukraine and which is realized in the form criminal liability or exemption from criminal liability.It is emphasized that an exceptional feature of the investigated legal relationship is their subject composition, due to which their specific characteristics are distinguished. Accordingly, a list of subjects of both regulatory and security criminal relations in the field of border security of Ukraine is determined.Depending on the entity, it is proposed to divide crimes to such that servicemen and employees of the State Bor-der Guard Service of Ukraine, as well as other security sector and defense bodies; crimes that are committed by third parties, which are unlawful of which is related to the field of the border security of the state. Comparison of these groups of crimes reflected in statistical data on the results of operative-service activities of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine for 2018, 2019 and 2020, clearly forms the idea of law and order and legality, the level of quality of criminal-legal regulation of relations in the investigational area, as well as about the state of protecting the state and public interests of Ukraine as a whole.

BALANCED SCORECARD TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES

The state of the health care system, as well as the state of health of the population of Ukraine is unsatisfactory and causes concern in society, which indicates the need for changes in the provision of medical services that can provide citizens with quality health care. The stages of formation of a balanced system of indicators, as well as components of the strategy of the health care institution are identified. The process of developing a balanced scorecard for health facilities is presented, which includes a list of strategic issues that contribute to goal setting and selection. The proposed system of balanced scores for assessing social, economic and medical effectiveness will help eliminate or reduce threats to Ukraine's national security in the field of health Key words: health care, balanced scorecard, public administration, economic efficiency, medical efficiency.

CONCEPT OF SECURITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY OF UKRAINE

Problem statement. Taking into account the world experience, the most effective is risk managementbased on achieving a certain level of safety, a balance of benefits and costs within a separate facility, territory, industryand the state as a whole. Today, risk management mechanisms aimed at reducing their values have not received widepractical application in the oil and gas industry of Ukraine. Thus, a quantitative risk assessment is used only in relationto industry workers during the execution of work, and a qualitative risk assessment in relation to machines,mechanisms, equipment is not used at all, including the likelihood of a positive compensatory impact of measures toУкраїнський журнал будівництва та архітектури, № 4 (004), 2021, ISSN (Print) 2710-0367, ISSN (Online) 2710-0375 46 counter security threats is not predicted, as well as technical condition and safety of facilities, primarily those that areoperated with defects. At the same time, imperfection of regulatory legal acts and inconsistency at the state and industrylevel of risk management methods do not allow the industry to achieve risk levels corresponding to the levels ofeconomically developed countries. The need to introduce conceptual foundations for ensuring the safety of the industry(management of the risk of accidents) is integral to labor protection, industrial, public, man-made, environmental safetyand energy resource efficiency, caused by the presence in the industry of a large number of organizational and manmade hazards. The number and linear length of the industry facilities on the territory of the state, including the difficultconditions for laying main pipelines. A significant number of cross-border crossings of trunk pipelines. The need todiversify the flows of commodity products of the main transport. A significant amount of hazardous substances that arestored, transported, synthesized, and used in the technological processes of the industry. A high level of risk ofemergencies of a technogenic nature due to a significant degree of wear and tear of the main production assets of theindustry. The inconsistency of the number of employees (appropriate qualifications) in the industry with therequirements of labor protection, industrial safety and the scope of work on diagnostics, maintenance and repair offacilities. A relatively low level of material and technical support for diagnostics, maintenance and repair of industryfacilities. Failure to recognize the low level of energy resource efficiency of production (synthesis), transport, storage ofhydrocarbons (hydrogen) as a negative technogenic factor affecting the safety of the industry. Imperfection of theregulatory and legal framework on the determination of the residual resource of the equipment of the industry facilitiesand the extension of the period of its further safe operation, etc. The purpose of the article – increase the level ofnational security of Ukraine by developing and implementing the "Concept of safety and energy resource efficiency ofthe oil and gas industry of Ukraine. Conclusion. The implementation of the provisions of the developed Concept willsignificantly increase the level of national security of Ukraine, as well as the safety and energy resource efficiency ofenterprises in the oil and gas industry of Ukraine.

LEGAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION IN THE FIELD OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF UKRAINE

Problem setting. Increased corruption at all levels of government has led to a significant minimization of the efficiency and performance of the entire system of political institutions, negatively affected the socio-economic well-being of the population, hampered the foundations of democracy, rule of law and civil society, created a real threat to Ukraine's national security. Therefore, the problem of preventing and combating corruption in the field of public administration is relevant and needs to be addressed immediately.
 Recent research and publications analysis on the prevention and combating of corruption in public authorities and local government shows a significant interest of scientists (N. Armash, K. Babenko, Y. Bisaga, A. Horowitz, K. Dubich, L. Campbell, I. Kerusauskaite, M. Kornienko, V. Tertyshnyk, S. Lazarenko, N. Lord, M. Melnyk, F. Mendes, A. Novak, S. Rose-Ackerman, I. Skobina, A. Stevanovich, V. Trepak, J. E. Foster, I. Shvydkyi and many others) to improve mechanisms to combat corruption in Ukraine. However, despite numerous studies and effective proposals to overcome this destructive phenomenon in the public sector, this problem remains unresolved.
 Goal setting. The purpose of this article is to find effective legal and organizational tools to combat corruption in public administration in the conditions of the modern development of the Ukrainian state.
 Paper main body. During the years of independence, corruption has taken root at all levels of government and in many spheres of society, which was facilitated by political, economic, socio-psychological, organizational and managerial reasons. In addition, numerous forms of corruption were institutionalized into informal destructive institutions (nepotism, cronyism, patrimonialism, clientelism, favoritism, etc.), which led to the establishment of clan governance practices and leveling any prospects for state development.
 Based on the analysis of legal and organizational principles of preventing corruption in public authorities and local self-government, the authors propose a number of effective tools to combat corruption in the sphere of public administration, including, for example, high-ranking officials’ reports on their wealth and income through e-declarations, the institution of whistleblowers, control by anti-corruption bodies and public organizations over the wealth of those in power, the integrity of civil servants, anti-corruption activities of the media and anti-corruption education.
 Conclusions of the research. In order to optimize the current anti-corruption mechanisms, we consider it appropriate to take into account such factors as comprehensive rule of law and improvement of anti-corruption norms in order to prevent gaps and avoidance of legal liability for corruption, ensuring transparency of all management processes as well as transparent use and disposal of budget funds, adherence to the principles of openness and accessibility of information on the activities of public authorities and local self-government and ensuring effective interaction between public authorities and civil society organizations, a fair justice system, independent media and an active civil society.

Factors of Ethnic Politicization in the Context of Threats to National Security in Ukraine

Ethnic mosaicism of Ukraine and the ethnonational factor are the phenomena that affect all spheres of the society. The ethnic factor has a special role in the emergence of contradictions in polyethnic states. On the one hand, “ethnicity is a form of social organization of cultural differences” (F. Bart), and on the other, ethnicity is instrumental and can be used as a means to achieve political goals (A. Cohen). Ethnicity has been and is a political resource that has been played out by political players for centuries. An important political phenomenon of our time is politicized ethnicity. The article analyzes some factors of politicization of ethnicity. The factors of politicization of ethnicity were: dissemination of unreliable information about the radical demands of territorial autonomy on behalf of “national minorities”; the destructive role of politicians who positioned themselves as lobbyists for the interests of national minorities; ethnic entrepreneurship, ethnic political parties; presence of dual citizenship, fake news, false information, and more. It is proved that certain factors of politicization of ethnicity pose a threat to the national security of the country.It is determined that ethnic identity is an effective tool for both consolidation and deconsolidation of ethnic groups and has its own political subjectivity. It is proved that in the process of decentralization, representatives of all ethnonational communities perceive each other well, and conflicts on ethnic grounds do not arise. However, due to people's low awareness of the peculiarities and prospects of the local government reform, politicians, especially local ones, are playing the “ethnic card” in their own interests.

Formation and Development of Ethnic Ukrainians in Crimea (End of the 18th — Beginning of the 21st Century) in Domestic Historiography

The article describes the state of scientific research on the history of the formation of the Ukrainian community in Crimea in the late 18th – early 21st century, which appeared in the 1990s – early 2000s, when, after the revival of its autonomy, there was a breakthrough in research on various aspects of Crimean history, and written at a new, higher level on the principles of historicism, objectivity, alternativeness. It is the post-Soviet period that is characterized by extensive scholarly discussions on the history of Crimea and the prospects for its development. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of works, which comprehend the debatable issues of the common historical destiny of Ukraine and Crimea, debunk the myths of “originally Russian Crimea”, highlight the problems of solving the Crimean question in 1917–1920, chronology of P. Bolbachan’s campaign, proclamation of Crimean republics in 1918–1921, the Bolsheviks pursuing a policy of indigenization in the Crimea, the famine of the 1920s–1930s and repression on the peninsula, as well as guerrilla warfare during World War II. The author claims that after 1991, hundreds of academic monographs and articles appeared, dozens of dissertations were defended, and a number of academic conferences on various areas of Crimean history were held.It is established that there is no comprehensive study of the formation of the community of Ukrainians in Crimea at the end of the 18th – beginning of the 21st century. Scarcely studied is the sociopolitical, demographic, economic situation of Ukrainians on the peninsula during the collapse of the Russian Empire and the existence of national and quasi-state formations on its territory, as well as the policy of Crimean regional governments towards Ukrainians and the policy of UPR and Ukrainian State governments regarding the protection of Ukrainians in Crimea, its state affiliation, etc. A comprehensive analysis is required for the policy of Ukraine towards the Ukrainian ethnic community of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol in 1991–2014, as well as the occupation policy of the Russian Federation after 2014, which led to discrimination against Crimean Ukrainians and the threat of assimilation of some of them. The annexation of Crimea, which took place in violation of the Constitutions of Ukraine and the ARC, laws of Ukraine and universally recognized international legal norms, rights and freedoms of Ukrainian citizens living in Crimea, was a pre-arranged special operation, information and propaganda policy being one of its key components. Currently, the problems of the emergence and overcoming of pro-Russian identity in Crimea at the present stage and the development of ways to optimize the system of public administration and national security of Ukraine are insufficiently studied.

Supporting System of the National Security System of Ukraine: Legal Regulation

The purpose of the investigation is to determine the components of Ukraine's national security support system and the nature of its implementation in the context of current events in the country. As the main content of the investigation, it has carried out a comprehensive analysis of the state of national security in Ukraine, its system, main tasks, and structural elements. In addition, it has examined the state of realization of Ukraine's national security in the context of modern developments in the state. Methodologically, the documentary research technique was used since the main sources of the study were documentary. The basis is the dialectical method of knowledge of the facts of social reality, on which comparative formal and legal approaches are largely based. The main organs that guarantee the national security of the state include the country's Armed Forces and all state power structures who have as their main task assigned by the state: to guarantee the highest possible level of protection of the nation together with its strategic interests.

Government mechanisms in the activities of the National Guard of Ukraine: an organizational and legal approach

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the organizational and legal foundations of public administration mechanisms in the activities of the National Guard of Ukraine. The arsenal of features of the mechanisms of state administration is outlined both in the executive authorities in general and in the National Guard of Ukraine in particular. It is noted, that it is advisable to consider these features as forms of ensuring their activities. Namely: organizational and structural, regulatory and legal, theoretical and methodological, and the like. The scientific approach to the classification of factors of influence and characteristics of personnel management (personnel of the National Guard of Ukraine) as a powerful potential of our country has been improved. By the nature of the managerial impact, the following factors have been identified: direct (legal regulation, public administration) and indirect (democratization, management optimization, etc.) factors. In terms of functional content - organizational and legal, motivational, innovative, social, financial. Attention is focused on the factors of influence and the features of personnel management (personnel of the National Guard of Ukraine) as a powerful potential of our country. Namely, the author's vision of the general principles of the National Guard of Ukraine as a subject of countering threats to the national security of Ukraine has been formulated by defining: “The National Guard of Ukraine, being a participant in legal relations in the field of countering threats to the national security of Ukraine, carries out activities, regulated by the norms of military, public and administrative law, is based and changes depending on public and administrative legal regimes; has the powers, defined by law to identify, prevent, destroy and reduce the negative impact of the aggressor”

Personnel training for the security and defense sector as a prerequisite for ensuring the national security of Ukraine

It has been established that one of the necessary steps in the direction of ensuring national security and citizens’ protection of rights and freedoms is strengthening the institutional, defense and security capabilities of bodies belonging to the security and defense sector. In this regard, it has been argued that a necessary prerequisite for national security is to ensure quality training of specialists for the security and defense sector, which will be able to respond in a timely manner to various crises.
 The current state of such personnel training has been characterized. The range of problematic issues on the agenda of the security and defense sector in the direction of improving the efficiency of its operation and improving education has been identified. It has been established that due to the fact that training for security and defense sector bodies is carried out in higher education institutions with specific training conditions subordinated to the relevant central executive bodies, a situation of double subordination arises: these higher education institutions are simultaneously subordinated to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, as well as they must comply with the requirements of the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. The attention has been focused on the discussion that arises in connection with such subordination. In this regard, it has been argued the need to develop a Concept of personnel training for the security and defense sector of Ukraine and outlined the range of issues that should be reflected in it.
 Emphasis has been placed on the need to update the approaches to personnel preparation for the security and defense sector through the introduction of an integrated education system for security and defense staff, within which the principles of specialization and individualization of the personnel training aimed at improving the professional level of specialists should be observed and the introduction of a qualitatively new culture of personnel safety based on the principles and standards of the European Union and NATO.
 It has been emphasized that special attention during training for the security and defense sector staff should be paid to the study of possible scenarios of internal and external threats to national security.
 It has been argued that to ensure quality personnel training for the security and defense sector, it is important to form a quality system of recruitment and staffing of security and defense forces with professional staff, updating approaches to the selection procedure (both professional and psychological, moral) of candidates for service in the security and defense sector; improving the quality of training of scientific personnel who have special knowledge, skills, abilities and methods necessary to solve problems related to the functioning of the security and defense sector; strengthening practical training, in particular conducting trainings focused on providing practical skills and abilities to resolve conflicts without the use of special tools and weapons; improving the quality and intensity of joint training of defense forces to conduct strategic actions.

The system of organs of state power for the protection of human rights in the sphere of national security

The purpose of the study is to provide scientifically based conclusions on the definition of the system of state authorities for protecting human rights in the field of national security in the context of modern challenges and threats based on scientific research. The methodological basis of the study is a complete and coordinated system of methods, which allowed properly analysing the subject matter, in particular, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction were used. The theoretical basis of this publication is the papers by Ukrainian researchers devoted to the study of state authorities on the protection of human rights in the field of national security. The scientific originality of the publication is conditioned by the fact that it included a systematic analysis of legal enactments in the field of legal regulation of the system of state authorities for the protection of human rights in the field of national security. It is established that the activities aimed at the protection of human rights and national security are bilateral in nature: the protection of human rights guarantees state security – and protection of state security safeguards human rights. The study highlights the incompleteness of the reform of this system of bodies that certify the shortcomings of the legal regulation of their activities, in particular: 1) the National Guard of Ukraine has the status of a military formation. At the same time, the National Guard of Ukraine is a military formation with law enforcement functions, which belongs to the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; 2) the National Police of Ukraine as the central executive authority belongs to the security and defence sector. At the same time, the Law of Ukraine “On Central Executive Authorities” does not specify the National Police as the central executive authority; 3) the subjects of the intelligence community among others, according to the Law of Ukraine “On intelligence”, is the security service of Ukraine. However, in Part 2 of Article 12 of the Law of Ukraine “On National Security of Ukraine”, the Security Service of Ukraine is defined as a separate body in the field of ensuring national security. It is noted that the double indication of the same bodies in the system of state authorities for the protection of human rights in the field of national security is legally unsound

Features of the modern mechanism of advinistrative and legal regulation in thr security sector of Ukraine

Problem setting. The global instability that currently exists in the world is forcing us to look for new models aimed at improving the economic and political situation within countries. The security sector, in turn, is the main component that ensures the stability and development of the state, and in the global crisis, this industry is becoming significantly more important. Therefore, having the appropriate amount of control, supervisory and organizational and legal powers, public authorities are the primary entities entrusted with ensuring this area of public policy. The purpose of the research is to analyze the managerial influence of public administration bodies on the formation and provision of the security sector of Ukraine. Analysis of resent researches and publications. Despite the significant contribution to the study of regulatory and legal support of the security sector of Ukraine by such scientists as Bodruk O., Duchyminska L., Ezheev M., Kolb O., Ponomarev S. and others, and given the political aggravation both within the country and in the international arena, the frequent violation by countries of their treaty obligations to the international community and other similar problems, further in-depth study of administrative and legal support of Ukraine's security sector and areas for improvement is extremely necessary. Article`s main body. The Law of Ukraine «On National Security of Ukraine» (21.06.2018), the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On Operational and Investigative Activities», the Decree of the President of Ukraine «On the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of September 14, 2020» On the National Security Strategy of Ukraine», the Civil Protection Code of Ukraine. A specific source aimed at the development and improvement of national security was the Concept of National Security of Ukraine, but from 19.06.2003 the latter expired because its provisions were reflected in the Law of Ukraine «On National Security of Ukraine». Nevertheless, the issue of the security sector's ability to ensure the country's real security in the relevant scenarios remains quite relevant, emphasizing the lack of a single document that would coordinate the actions and measures of public authorities on the criteria of implementation, type, priorities, goals and objectives, technical component etc. The analysis of the normative base allows to outline the main powers of local governments in matters of security of the territorial community, in turn, the author made a classification of these powers by functional orientation. Conclusions. The study confirms the overall regulatory and legal support of the security sector of Ukraine. This is manifested directly in the presence of a number of regulations, including bylaws, which define the mechanisms, principles, functions and procedures for protection of the population from emergencies, delimit the competence between the subjects in the field of security and defense. The legislator does not pay attention to the models of interaction of public institutions, which need some improvement. The creation of situational centers remains extremely justified.

RATIONAL NATURE MANAGEMENT AS A COMPONENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY: ECONOMIC AND LEGAL ASPECTS

Abstract. The article deals with the analysis of economic and legal aspects of rational nature management as a component of ecological safety. The ecological problems of the current state of the natural environment of the country are analyzed. It is stated that environmental security is one of the most important components of national security of Ukraine, which depends on the rational use and reproduction of natural resources. The concept of rational nature management is formulated, the concept consists in the sphere of production and scientific activity aimed at the study, development, protection and transformation of nature in order to ensure favorable conditions for human life. It was found out that the rational use of nature necessarily involves the economic and legal component, which lies in getting the most out of economic and other activities in the use of natural resources at economically reasonable costs. The concept of economic and legal mechanism of nature management is defined, which is enshrined in the system of economic and legal measures, incentives and other regulators aimed at ensuring environmental protection, environmental safety and organization of rational nature management and is based on the concept of payment for the use of natural resources, introduction of economic and legal responsibility. Proposals have been formulated as for the implementationof additional measures of fiscal regulationof nature use by Ukraine, granting tax benefits to enterprises implementing relevant environmental protection programs, insurance of environmental risks. Key words: ecological safety, rational nature use, economic and legal mechanism, legal regulation, environment, norms of law. JEL Classification К32 Formuls: 0; fig.: 0; tabl.: 3; bibl.: 23.

PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF NONLINEARITY BY AN IDEOLOGIST INTO THE ECONOMY AND ECOLOGY (IN THE CONTEXT OF RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT)

Topicality. In recent decades, the problem of methodological and ideological comprehension of the nonlinear ideologemes of cognition of complex developing processes formed in the physical, chemical and other natural sciences, in the context of their use in economic and environmental research in management practice, has been increasingly.The statement of this problem is conditioned by the established traditions of simplifications in the knowledge of real economic phenomena and processes. The consequence of the simplification in understanding the complexities of economic and other activities is the prevailing phenomenon of nonlinear thinking and linear perception of the surrounding world. Currently, the problem of nonlinear complexities of socio-economic and economic-ecological systems is extremely poorly developed. Aim and tasks. The aim of this work is to discuss topical issues of the implementation of modern ideologemes of nonlinearity in the study of economic and environmental phenomena and processes, as well as in the systems of substantiating management decisions in the development of programs (projects) for territorial, sectoral and other development. The goal-setting system discussed in the work focuses on the solution of applied problems of the implementation of the ideology of nonlinearity in practice. Research results. Implementation is considered as a category of the theory of nonlinear control, as a formal hypothetical-deductive system for organizing knowledge about the management of complex nonlinear economic and environmental processes in interrelation and interdependence. The principles of nonlinearity and nonlinear approach to the study and management of systems related to the greening of the economy have been formed. The research results presented in the work are based on a comprehensive analysis of the formation of a new post-nonclassical stage in the development of modern science. The tendencies of radical changes in the foundations of science and the nature of scientific activity are taken into account. Special attention is paid to the increasing actualization of the formation of nonlinear research methods and scientific directions (synergetics, nonlinear dynamics, catastrophe theory, etc.), focused on the knowledge of complex nonlinear processes and the solution of strategic problems of nonlinear control.In the context of nonlinear paradigms, the author considers the search for new imperatives of economic science aimed at forming the conceptual foundations of a new scientific paradigm in economics and a new intellectual economy. The work focuses on the need to develop the theory of nonlinear management of complex processes of social and economic development, including those related to the management of the greening of the economy. The applied problems of the implementation of nonlinear ideologemes in the economy and ecology are considered in the interests of the national security of Ukraine. Conclusion.The presented results of theoretical and methodological comprehension of the modern problem of nonlinear world outlook are a certain basis for a new nonlinear approach to the study of complex processes and its implementation in the management of economic and environmental processes.

Forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces of Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to define the concept and types of forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces. Three aspects are identified in which the forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces can be considered: 1) the activity aspect, according to which the form of control acts as a complex of actions of its subjects; 2) the analytical aspect, according to which the form of control has its integral element of collecting, highlighting information and data on the controlled object, comparing them with each other, de-termining the patterns and trends inherent in the functioning of the controlled object, modeling the state of the controlled object in the future, depending on the applied management decisions; 3) the organizational aspect, according to which the form of control is a way of organizing the activity of the subjects of control and the con-nections between them. Each of these aspects of the form of control is necessary for the effective implementation of control activities.
 The definitions of the forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces as united by a single goal, carried out in accordance with the powers of the subjects of control defined in the acts of military legislation, are formulated for a complex of organizational and analytical measures aimed at achieving the goal of control.It was found that the forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces should be attributed to the pub-lication of public information, the activities of temporary commissions of inquiry, internal audit, external financial control (audit), judicial control, scientific and applied (for example, sociological) research aimed at determining the actual state of control objects. The validity of classifying official investigations, inquiries and pre-trial investigations forms of democratic civil control raises doubts, taking into account the provisions of paragraph 2 of part 1 of arti-cle 1 of the Law of Ukraine “On National Security of Ukraine”, which defines an exhaustive list of types of control.An analysis of the essence and features of the forms of democratic civilian control over the defense forces allows us to make sure that these forms are inherently connected with the content of this control and are determined by the legal status of its subjects. At the same time, the forms of control can be classified by content, by subjects, by legal consequences for objects of control, as well as by timing.

The Phenomenon of National Security within Postmodern Cultures: Interests, Values, Mentality

The article is devoted to defining the essence of security, particularly national security, its interpretation, main features, structure, and factors. The research focuses on the main concepts of the modern understanding of national security and defines national security according to recent research. The authors have performed a structural and functional analysis of the system of national security of Ukraine, which would be an adequate counteraction to threats to vital national interests. The article examines the multi-vector interpretation and representation of the security phenomenon with an increased focus on the axiological paradigm of postmodern society analysis. The cardinal role of postmodernism is considered as a manifestation of postmodern culture in the value dimension of social-political existence. Postmodernism, on the one hand, enabled new vectors of analytical understanding and perception of the security phenomenon. On the other hand, it introduced an imbalance and determined the crisis factor in the space of classical perception of security guarantors due to violating the established foundations and traditions (especially in the perception of the state institution). The rejection factor is seen as a core feature of postmodern social-political reality. The emphasis is given to the problem of the security standard in the security studies and the idea of the mutual determination of both national interests and national values. The article states the importance and priority of historical memory and the phenomenon of mentality in the context of future analytical discourses in the scope of Ukrainian security studies.

DETERMINING THE PRESENCE OF A STOCHASTIC PROCESS IN THE TIME SERIES OF PRODUCTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE

Determining the future price of any product or service is a key factor in the activities of any enterprise, because it allows it to optimize operating and financial activities and make better use of available resources. This is especially important for companies operating in the agricultural sector of the economy, because they are characterized by cyclicality and uneven operating cycles. Thus, knowledge of the future price of products and the availability of a derivative allows them to obtain additional profits, which is important for their competitiveness. It should be noted that for most sectors of the economy, the future price is not known in advance, so there is a need to predict it.
 The development of hardware and software over the past 20 years has allowed scientists to use the latest forecasting methods and models. Using only the historical data of the prices` fluctuations, allow you to get an idea of their future state. However, there is a significant problem that in many cases makes it impossible to use only the past data. This problem is the presence of stochastic processes in the time series. Determining the presence of a stochastic process in the time series is the first step in building prediction systems.
 Determining the presence of stochastic processes in the time series of major Ukrainian agricultural products is an important step that will allow Ukrainian enterprises to be more competitive. This is especially important because the agricultural sector is key to Ukraine's national security, as it is one of the largest sectors in Ukraine and is key in its trade activity.
