Development of environmental costs in mining company after implementation of innovation - cyclone separator

This article summarizes the scientific discussion on the environmental costs of mining companies. Reducing environmental pollution in mining companies is focused on three strategies. The raw material intensity decrease is the first strategy. The second strategy is orientated to changes in the production of environmental products. The third strategy is directed at the consumption of products and liquidation after their lifetime. The priority goal of this paper was to demonstrate the development of environmental costs after the implementation of cyclone separators focusing on the expenses in the field of water management. Methods of research were focused on using index analysis and structure analysis. Base index and chain index were used in the analysis of the index. The object of the article was the mining company focused on mining limestone in Slovakia. The priority problem is the dust of the mining process. The research brings new solving a cyclone separator in the mining process for reducing dust. The goal "Operational Program Environment" is to invest in the water sector, creating mining companies' problems. Mining companies use water resources for their mining activities. The results of the study show decreasing in environmental costs. Water and sewerage fees eliminate by 11.1 %, air pollution charges by 11.5 %, disposal fees by about 5.2 %, and towing the sump by 1.5 %. The purpose of the mining company is to address environmental costs as a priority issue related to environmental protection. Competitive advantage for the mining industry introduces efficient and acceptable solutions - innovations.

ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ АУДИТОРСЬКИХ ФІРМ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ – ОНЛАЙН-АУДИТИ

The issue of audit development under martial law and post-war reconstruction is currently extremely relevant and plays an important role for both business and the state, which influenced the choice of the topic, stated goal, objectives, subject and structure of the research. As a result of the hostilities and mass migration, the audit industry has suffered serious negative consequences. The legislator has taken significant measures to stabilize the situation and restore the activities of audit entities. A whole range of regulations was adopted to ensure the effective operation of audit firms. In particular, scholars have paid great attention to the issue of online audits. Prominent international organizations of auditors and professional accountants have developed the Guidelines for Ukrainian auditors taking into account the conditions of the military conflict. It turned out to be urgent because business entities that continue to operate in the conflict zone need constant support and advice. The article analyzes the state of audit activity in the context of the military conflict, identifies the main problems and suggests the ways to solve them. The authors also identified the main directions of development of audit entities with a view to achieving European integration, including their regulatory framework. The general scientific and general theoretical methods were used in the work: system analysis - to determine the main research criteria; abstract and logical - to make theoretical generalizations and conclusions about the problems and challenges of audit activity in war conditions; induction - at the stage of collecting, systematizing and processing information for research; deduction - in the process of studying the theoretical problem. The article analyzes the current state and prospects of audit activity and online audit in the context of modern business. The main problems faced by auditors are considered, and the main challenges facing audit firms are identified. Among other things, the positive aspects and future opportunities of online audit were highlighted, and the services that can be provided through this form of audit were considered. The authors found that the issues related to audit activity under martial law were regulated at the legislative level, and the main areas of support for auditors in the post-war period were identified. Prospects for further research consist in the fact that Ukrainian audit firms can achieve further development and recovery in the post-war period with the help of smart management decisions, legislative support, and the introduction of online audits. The priority goal of the audit system should be to increase trust in the audit process and the auditor. This will increase the investment attractiveness of enterprises. Given the uncertainty and riskiness of financial statement users in the current economic environment, the introduction of online audits is a flexible mechanism that will allow receiving audit reports and will influence positive movements in the recovery of the Ukrainian economy, which is why further research is needed.

How do urban function and development level effect construction level of green infrastructure? A case study of 110 built-up areas of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Zone

Urban green infrastructure (GI) is proposed for providing residents with welfare. However, there is little research on how to quantitatively and systematically assess the construction level of green infrastructure (CLGI), especially its relationship with urban function and development. This paper provides empirical evidence by a case study of built-up areas of 110 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Zone (YREZ) to investigate how urban characteristics affect CLGI. First, CLGI varies significantly between cities. GI waterfront level is the most dominant advantageous type, while GI allocation is the most dominant disadvantageous type. Second, most cities generally are in a slightly unbalanced or barely coordinated state between CLGI and urban development level (UDL). Subsystems of UDL and CLGI greatly influence each other, in which economic urbanization plays an almost decisive role in CLGI. Third, CLGI is the highest in most cities with cultural and scientific services as the major function especially in allocation and accessibility aspects, while the lowest in most cities with mining as the major function. Finally, this study presents a judgement model for GI priority goals and some practical implications, which is expected to facilitate evidence-based policymaking of urban planning and coordinated development of GI construction and urban characteristics.

Fairy tale therapy, as an anxiety reducer for primary school children

The decline in children's health in Ukraine is significantly influenced by several factors, including economic instability in the country, environmental pollution, inadequate nutrition, and a lack of healthcare interventions. Lifestyle plays a particularly crucial role.
 Health is an integral aspect of an individual's well-being and directly impacts their quality of life. Preserving and enhancing the health of students, increasing their levels of physical activity, and fostering the development and improvement of fundamental physical qualities are the primary objectives of physical education for elementary school children. These objectives align with the priority goals of our society. To achieve effective and multifaceted improvements in the development of elementary school children, health-enhancing, pedagogical, and educational tasks must be addressed comprehensively. Modern technologies for leveling anxiety and for quality life of younger schoolchildren began to use fairy tale therapy. The essence of fairy-tale therapy is to create a special mental space in which the child's fantasies become similar to reality and contribute to overcoming his fears and complexes. On the example of positive characters, the child learns to act correctly; negative heroes of fairy tales point out to her patterns of inappropriate behavior. This therapeutic technique examines various aspects of fairy tales, including symbolism, morals, allegories, and character identification, with the goal of supporting clients in developing, understanding their own emotions and experiences, and changing their perception of the world. The mechanisms of the impact of fairy tales on individuals are outlined as follows: fairy tales depict profound emotional crises experienced by individuals; they exert their influence on an unconscious level and tri gger adaptive mechanisms to assist in coping with stress; fairy tales teach children how to effectively conquer their fears, enabling them to preserve their psychological well-being.

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY: TRAINING OF SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL FOR THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

The article deals with the main aspects of training of higher education applicants in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The author analyzes the regulatory framework for the acquisition of professional competence of higher education students in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The national security of Ukraine is an integral part and priority goal of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, which accordingly determines the main factors of stable development of society. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created the conditions for the emergence of a hybrid form of warfare using the information space, which has forced the creation of new approaches to ensuring and maintaining the national security of the state. In this case, an important role is played by the training of students to acquire competencies in the development and testing of weapons and military equipment, which in today's conditions requires constant updating. Graduates of higher education institutions and research institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine must take into account the peculiarities of the production of weapons and military equipment in a timely manner in order to ensure the country's defense capability.
 The issue of training applicants in the modern conditions of the modern educational process should focus on the ability to make decisions in martial law and uncertainty. The level of education of students will be higher, the broader the chosen field of knowledge, as well as the ability to design solutions in an uncertain situation, which will allow them to have a wider range of possible decision-making methods. Therefore, raising the level of training of students in military sciences will create the preconditions for further implementation of measures that will ensure the development of personnel in the system of higher military education and increase Ukraine's defence capabilities.

Prior goal setting of SDGs based on the interaction correlation

For 2030, the Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out 17 goals for sustaining ecological and social growth, known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have mobilized countries around the world to integrate these goals into their national development strategies. However, the Agenda does not explain how these goals are interlinked, which limits their implementation. This paper therefore selects indicator data for 17 SDGs from the World Bank website for four groups of countries to estimate the network structure of the SDGs and the synergies and trade-offs between them, based on the Spearman coefficient. Based on this, the paper further uses a VAR model to identify priority targets among the SDGs and to predict the impact of achieving these targets 2 years earlier on other SDGs. It is found that the SDGs interact with each other in different historical periods, showing both synergies and trade-offs. And as the highest priority goal, the predictions in this paper suggest that SDG 6 has a strong positive impact on SDG 4 and SDG 8. This paper can help policy makers to allocate resources more effectively, maximize benefits, coordinate actions, adapt to future challenges and achieve global sustainable development goals.

Principles of state policy in a consumer rights protection field and their legislative consolidation

The paper justified that the structure of building any policy is always based on a list of principles relevant to the specified policy. The principles determine the essence of the political construction, taking into account the specific features in the relevant sphere, where each of the elements (subjects) of this policy is built through the prism of the principles. The paper analyzed the main international and domestic regulatory legal acts, which operate under the term principles of state policy in the sphere of consumer rights protection. It was established that the principles are defined in a non-systematic manner in domestic legal acts, with a weak connection to international principles and Ukraine's European integration obligations. The analysis of international regulatory legal acts allowed us to come to the conclusion that international practice, in its content, singles out: the general principles of consumer policy based on the basic rights of consumers; principles according to the priority goals of consumer policy; principles of individual subjects of consumer policy. It is characterized by the absence of most of the subjects inherent in the European system of consumer rights protection, and the existing ones often do not have the capacity (legal, financial, organizational, etc.) to perform their functions. The guiding principles of the implementation of state policy in the sphere of consumer rights protection are defined as the basis of the implementation of state policy in the field of consumer rights protection, which are used by state and non-state subjects of consumer policy in the development and adoption of any long-term socio-economic decisions affecting (may affect) the rights and interests of consumers. It is proposing to consolidate this norm with the list of principles and defined their in Article 3 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection of Consumer Rights".

METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS TO ASSESSING THE TRAINING OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS OF SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE OF UKRAINE

The article deals with the main aspects of training of PhD graduates in the scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The authors analyze the regulatory framework for improving the professional competence of scientific personnel of scientific institutions in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The national security of Ukraine is an integral part and priority goal of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which accordingly determines the main factors of stable development of society. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created the conditions for the emergence of a hybrid form of warfare using the information space, which has forced the creation of new approaches to ensuring and maintaining the national security of the state. In this case, an important role is played by weapons and military equipment, which requires constant updating. Therefore, in order to timely take into account and forecast the production of weapons and military equipment, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine needs graduates of the adjunct program who are able to conduct basic research in the field of defense. The issue of training PhD graduates in the modern conditions of the contemporary educational process should focus on the ability to make decisions in a state of uncertainty. In today's conditions, the future model of education provides for the possibility of choosing a solution that can be modeled as a situation of choosing the best solution from a set of equivalent, random solutions.
 The level of education of a PhD candidate will be higher, the wider the chosen field of activity and field of knowledge, as well as the ability to design solutions in an uncertain situation, which will allow them to have a wider range of possible decision-making methods. Therefore, the introduction of a system of training PhD candidates through adjuncture will create prerequisites for further implementation of measures that will ensure the development of science in the system of higher military education.

INFORMATION SPACE IN THE TEMPORARILY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE: HOW INFORMATION OCCUPIES REALITY

The article focuses on the information policy as well as certain aspects of the organizational policy in the territories of Ukraine, which have been temporarily occupied by Russia after its large-scale military invasion on February 24, 2022. The author traces how the occupation authorities were established and the role of the Russian leadership in this process. Based on an analysis of the priority goals and actions taken to create a new information space in the temporarily occupied territories coupled with an examination of the current state of the occupation structures formed and the activities of the Russian occupying power, the author seeks answers to the question why the local population is particularly vulnerable to information influence in the conditions of temporary occupation.
 The author argues that the algorithm of the information policy in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine includes the following: creating a context and establishing control over the information space as well as forming new institutions and means for conducting the information policy necessary for the occupying power. With this algorithm in mind, the specific features of some newly created institutions, mass media, publications and other channels of disseminating propaganda in the temporarily occupied territories are analyzed to uncover the characteristic approaches to the formation of the information space, methods of influence and methods of communication with the local population. The methodological framework applied in this study, results in identifying specific features of communication by the occupation authorities, its aims and senses, including the key narratives and the main objects of criticism, which the occupation authorities appeal to. Crucially, the author establishes how in the temporarily occupied territories communication is transmitted simultaneously to the local information market in order to influence the local population and to the external Russian market to shape the desired visualization of events in the temporarily occupied territories.
 The author highlights the sequence of the invaders’ activities in the temporarily occupied territories, their information influence on the local population; the groups of methods used to form the information space; the communication strategy for the local population in the temporarily occupied territories.

An Analysis of Radiographic Leg Length Discrepancy and Hip Offset in Patients at Risk of Developing Osteoarthritis.

Leg length and hip offset are important principles in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients may endorse leg length differences (LLD) postoperatively that may be anatomical or functional. The objective of this study was to determine the normal radiographic variation in leg length and hip offset in a preosteoarthritic population without a THA. A retrospective study was completed using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a prospective longitudinal study. Patients at risk of developing or with early osteoarthritis without inflammatory arthritis or prior THA were included. Measurements were made from full limb length anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs. Multiple linear regression models were employed to predict side-to-side differences in LLD, Δ femoral offset (FO), Δ abductor muscle length (AML), Δ abductor lever arm, and Δ AP pelvic offset. The mean radiographic LLD was 4.6 mm, with 12 mm within 1 standard deviation. No significant differences were detected between LLD and sex, age, body mass index, or height. The median radiographic differences in FO, AML, abductor lever arm, and AP pelvic offset were 3.2 mm, 4.8 mm, 3.6 mm, and 3.3 mm, respectively. Height was predictive of Δ FO, while both height and age were predictive of Δ AML. Radiographic leg length variations in a population without symptomatic or radiographic osteoarthritis exist. FO and AML are dependent on patient characteristics. Preoperative radiographic LLD is not predicted by age, gender, body mass index, or height. It should be stressed that anatomic reconstruction is one of the many goals of arthroplasty and can stand in conflict with the priority and primary goals of stability and fixation, which should be prioritized.

The role of technoparks in the development of innovation activity and strengthening the technological sovereignty of Russia

At present, one of the priority goals for the development of the Russian economy is to stimulate domestic innovative developments in industry to ensure the country's technological sovereignty. Strengthening technological sovereignty, ensuring the outstripping growth of industry is one of the tasks set by the Presidents of the Russian Federation to overcome the impact of international sanctions. Technoparks, as objects of innovation infrastructure, are one of the effective forms of supporting industry in the regions and stimulating innovation. This determines the relevance of the present study. Target. Determination of the role, place and effectiveness of technoparks in solving problems of enhancing innovation and strengthening the technological sovereignty of Russia in the context of international sanctions. Tasks. Identification of priority areas for ensuring technological sovereignty. Determination of the constituent elements of the innovation environment and consideration of technology parks as objects of innovation infrastructure. Study of the performance of Russian technology parks in the direction of the implementation of innovative projects for the development of industry. Methodology. The study presented in the article was carried out using such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, scientific generalization. Results. The priority areas for strengthening technological sovereignty proposed by the Government of the Russian Federation were studied, and a study was made of the activities of Russian technology parks in the implementation of innovative projects, including those in the selected areas of technological sovereignty, which is necessary when implementing the import substitution policy in the context of international sanctions. Conclusions. The technopark is a particularly important object of innovation infrastructure in the context of implementing the import substitution policy, developing domestic industrial production and ensuring technological sovereignty.

Сучасна парадигма фінансової політики держави та особливості її реалізації в умовах війни на території України

Introduction. In peacetime, each country that implements the democratic values of civil society determines the growth of the welfare of citizens and the realization of their economic interests and constitutional rights as the main development priority. At the same time, the state’s financial policy is the main economic instrument of growth. It provides an optimal, efficient distribution of GDP through the institutions of the budget system and forms a stable financial environment, which is a condition for the realization of property rights and the investment potential of legal entities and individuals. Such conditions are ideal for implementing market laws , the mechanism of financial policy, and its methods and tools generally have a corrective and stimulating effect. In a different economic situation, other tools and methods of the state’s financial policy mechanism become effective when the country is at war. Problem Statement. The peculiarity of the implementation of financial policy in war conditions is a violation of financial stability and macroeconomic imbalances, the main challenge is the cash gaps between revenues and expenditures of the state and local budgets, which is a consequence of a reduction in the revenue component of the state budget when a significant increase in defense and security spending is required. Purpose. Justification of the modern paradigm of the financial policy of the state and the peculiarities of its implementation in the conditions of war on the territory of Ukraine, as well as the development of measures to implement the priority goals of the state's financial policy in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. Methods. Statistical and analytical methods, a systematic approach, a method of groupings, generalizing characteristics, a tabular method and a comparison method were used. To reveal the essence of financial policy in terms of the formation of budget expenditures in war conditions, the methodology of the theory of uncertainty and the structural-functional approach were applied. Results. The study of the modern paradigm of the state's financial policy in Ukraine substantiates the need to identify three models for its implementation: 1) in a peaceful state, 2) during the war, 3) financial policy of Ukraine’s recovery. The strategic goals of each model of financial policy may coincide, this primarily applies to goals that should ensure a positive trend in GDP growth and monetary incomes of citizens. However, modern challenges in the period of a full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine determine the only priority goal of the present for the whole society - ensuring Victory and de-occupation of the territory. Measures that make it possible to realize the priority goals of the state's financial policy in war conditions should be divided into two groups: the first is immediate (primary) measures to optimize budget spending in war conditions, and the second is budgetary measures for post-war reconstruction Conclusions. The justification of the modern paradigm of the financial policy of Ukraine is conditioned by the need for conceptual and methodological research in the field of transformation of the existing financial system of the state, which has not got rid of the elements of administrative-command control levers and to substantiate the legal and institutional foundations for the development of the public finance system of the state. “Recovery bonds” as an investment resource for post-war recovery can become a separate instrument in the market of domestic government borrowings. The priority of realizing the goals of the state’s financial policy model during the war should not deny the strategic goals of realizing the financial policy goals of restoring Ukraine as a European state.

Повоєнне відновлення економіки: основні фактори впливу та світовий досвід для України

Introduction. The ongoing hostilities in Ukraine reduce Ukraine's potential for independent sustainable economic growth. The sovereign debt burden is significantly increasing, production facilities are being destroyed, and with them the industrial potential of the country, the possibility for a quick return of the majority of forced refugees to Ukraine from abroad is declining. The response to these challenges should include the application of the most active methods of implementing state policy aimed at ensuring the economic independence and well-being of Ukraine. The prerequisite for overcoming the identified problems will be not only the end of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, but also the implementation of a system that encourages businesses to recover, increase the profitability of their production, as well as the concentration of the state’s attention on the achievement of priority goals, among which, of course, the main one will be ensuring security and social and economic recovery of the country. Problem Statement. Determining the role of the state in post-war reconstruction, substantiating the possibilities of applying instruments of state impact on the development of the economy of Ukraine. Purpose. Substantiating, taking into account the specifics of the pre-war development of the economy of Ukraine and based on the world experience of post-war recovery, an effective state toolkit, the implementation of which will not only speed up the recovery of the economy, but also ensure the quality of the development. Methods. The research was conducted on the basis of a systematic approach, the principles of objectivity and critical analysis, systematization of analytical and statistical data, and scientific insight into the consequences of external and internal factors affecting the development of the economy. Results. The main effective tools that contributed to restarting post-war economies, changing their structure and rapid economic development are identified. As part of the analysis of domestic state initiatives to restore the economy of Ukraine, priority steps have been outlined that will contribute to the intensification of business activity and ensure its broader access to long-term debt capital. Reasonable expediency of implementation of indicative planning, reform of the state policy of attracting foreign investments, internal system of stimulating business activity, implementation of investment risk insurance, etc. The need to revise the priorities of the country's economic development, which would take into account not only current realities, but also focus on the strategic goals of Ukraine's future, was emphasized. Conclusions. While aiming at the recovery of the national economy, the state faces many complex tasks, the solution of which requires the concentration of efforts of both the government and society in general. The world experience of post-war reconstruction proves that even after tragedies, it is possible to establish a modernized and prosperous state. The implementation of such aspirations can be materialized on the base of a clear vision and planning of the future of the country with the step-by-step implementation of the intended plans, which must definitely take into account the systemic problems that the economy had accumulated in the past (low level of fixed investments, outdated production base, low innovativeness of enterprises, practical lack of access to cheap long-term credit, unattractive investment environment, insecurity of property rights, etc.). The post-war recovery plan should be based on the principles of building a market economy, solving systemic problems, stimulating healthy competition and developing high-techindustry.

О ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ПОДДЕРЖКЕ ИННОВАЦИОННОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ В CТАВРОПОЛЬСКОМ КРАЕ НА СОВРЕМЕННОМ ЭТАПЕ

Taking into account the current geopolitical situation, one of the main challenges facing the Russian Federation is ensuring technological sovereignty and import substitution, as well as accelerated development of all industries and economic growth. The development of innovation plays a key role in ensuring the country's ability to respond effectively to these challenges. At the present stage, the dynamic development of innovation activity in the country is impossible without the modernization of the state mechanism to support and stimulate these activities taking into account the actual analysis and evaluation, the definition of priority areas, goals and objectives of development. Currently, state support for innovative development, including individual sectors of the economy, is carried out at the national or regional levels in accordance with regulatory legal acts and the main documents of the country's strategic planning in the field of innovation development that require changes taking into account the current challenges faced by the country and the current economic situation. The article considers the current directions of development of the country's innovation policy, analyzes the state support for the innovation activity of the region on the example of the Stavropol Territory, identifies its strengths and weaknesses, and formulates proposals for the innovative development of the region.

Land use allocation based on multi-goal linear programming model: a case study of Central Luzon State University

Allocating and reallocating land resources is critical to a long-term land use planning and is a key component to achieve a balanced land use system. This provides appropriate space for varied land uses while preserving the environment for future generations. It is found to be an excellent measure for development and sustainability of an area. Using multiple goal linear programming as a decision support system, this study highlighted the optimization of land use allocation at Central Luzon State University to meet the needs for sustainable development. All the seven (7) general land use classifications determined in the University: agricultural, institutional, residential, commercial, fisheries (pond/fish tanks), roads and open areas were assessed in crafting the Land Use Development and Infrastructure Plan (LUDIP) for 2021 to 2031. The findings demonstrated that the priority goals set by the CLSU constituents: (1) minimizing disaster risk, (2) maximizing land suitability, (3) maximizing research capability, maximizing social development, and maximizing economic value were achieved with the aid of Gurobi. Agricultural and commercial growth, residential, social, and infrastructure development for all constituents, research development, climate change adaptation, and cultural heritage preservation were all aided by the land use optimization in the LUDIP.

From rubbles to digital material bank. A digital methodology for construction and demolition waste management in post-disaster areas

In 2020, European countries generated 807 mln tons of construction and demolition waste (CDW), accounting for 37.5% of total waste production. The UE Waste Framework Directive of 2008 established as a priority goal to increase the percentage of reuse, recycling and recovery of nonhazardous construction waste to a minimum of 70% by 2020. Pending the report that will define compliance with this goal, the average percentage currently stands at around 50%, of which only 3% involves upcycling operations. This doctoral research defines an operational methodology aimed at implementing digital processes for circularity in the AEC sector, with a focus on post-earthquake emergency Italian contexts. The treatment of CDW in earthquake-affected areas for the purpose of recovery/reuse, in a perspective of circularity, represents an underexplored field and limited, as in the rest of UE, to downcycling operations. By defining planning strategies and digital tools and procedures, the research aims to facilitate the reuse of building elements from post-earthquake demolition and reconstruction operations. The final output of the research consists of a cloud database, a Digital Material Bank (DMB), of informed building elements from post-earthquake selective demolition operations that can be reused in the construction market as a secondary raw material. The CDW management of the 2016 Central Italy earthquake is identified as the scope of application, with a focus on the situation in the Marche region. Finally, the main limitations and possible future scenarios of the research are reported.

Формування соціальних видатків в умовах воєнного стану

Introduction. Budget expenditures for social needs are an important tool for satisfying human interests, ensuring the well-being of citizens, and raising the standard of living of the population. Budget expenditures as an instrument of budget policy have a significant impact on the complete implementation of budget programs in the social sphere. Nationwide or global crises, shocks, etc. undermine the stability of financial and economic systems, including the full implementation of social policy. Problem Statement. The Russian-Ukrainian war undermined the foundations of the stability of the national economy. A significant number of business entities stopped their activities, at the same time the export of products almost completely stopped, budget revenues decreased significantly, which complicated the processes of budget implementation. This actualizes the efforts of politicians and practitioners to find optimal solutions for filling the budget, as well as strengthening the synergy of scientists in the context of conducting thorough research in the field of social expenditure formation in war conditions. Purpose. Assess the peculiarities of the formation of social budget expenditures under martial law in 2022. Methods. General scientific and special methods are used: analysis, synthesis, grouping, description, comparison, theoretical generalization and abstract-logical. Results. The conducted analysis showed that the financial and economic situation in the state significantly worsened with the beginning of the Russian invasion, which affected the ability to obtain basic services, the level of income and the quality of life of the population. The structure of budget expenditures has changed, because the defense of the country has become a priority task. At the same time, the amount of social spending should not decrease, as it is necessary to take into account the future social pressure associated with the consequences of the war. Budgeting processes are currently being transformed in a certain way, subject to priority, urgent measures aimed at protecting the country, as well as solving humanitarian and social issues. Therefore, it is necessary to search for additional sources of filling the budget, create reserve funds, redistribute budget expenditures, etc. Effective allocation and saving of limited budget funds will enable the government to maneuver financial resources, prevent associated risks, optimize expenditures, and concentrate them on strategic areas and other urgent tasks of a different nature. Conclusions. In the period of martial law, the tasks of budget policy remain essentially unchanged, in particular: effective management, distribution and use of budget expenditures for priority goals of both economic and social development. The structure of budget expenditures should take into account macroeconomic dynamics and adapt to military conditions, and therefore focus on the implementation of social priorities, primarily ensuring social benefits, providing medical and educational services, etc. The state must solve complex social tasks, which, in our opinion, is a promising direction for further scientific research.

Development of Electronic Governance to a Digital Ecosystem

Problem setting. The scientific work is devoted to the study of the economic and legal aspects of the modernization of e-government in Ukraine into a digital ecosystem to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Aspects of the functioning and development of e-government and the problems of transforming governance into digital attract the attention of researchers from Ukraine. However, the topic of e-government as an ecosystem is not analyzed at all in the publications of domestic scientists. Theoretical and practical aspects of the ecosystem approach as a direction of digitalization of public administration are revealed in the works of foreign authors and public documents of international organizations. Purpose of the research is to analyze the state of e-governance in Ukraine and develop recommendations for improving the regulatory framework for the digital transformation of national governance to an ecosystem model. Article’s main body. The expediency of the ecosystem approach in digital governance is due to the need for state regulation of digital ecosystems. The ecosystem model of governance is based on digital technologies, and the electronic model is based on information and communication technologies. An e-government ecosystem is a complex sociotechnical system that unites citizens, businesses, organizations and authorities and uses electronic platforms to create value and distribute it among its participants. Electronic governance in Ukraine is gradually moving towards its organization as an ecosystem. Today, several dozen digital transformation projects are being developed in Ukraine to automate relations in the government system. However, cyber security experts identified significant problems in the Diya digital project, in particular problems with personal data protection, openness and transparency of digital transformations. Сitizens play a key role in digital public administration, so the goal of human development and protection of their rights should be enshrined in legislation as a priority during digital transformations. Innovative management technologies provide significant opportunities in management, but are risky. The need for thorough research and legal regulation of innovative solutions before their introduction into government processes is emphasized. It is proposed to establish responsibility for the security of data and processes in the digital ecosystem of governance. Conclusions and prospects for development. Legislation and legal acts related to the informatization and digitization of government, economy and society in Ukraine need to be updated taking into account the priority goals of human development and the protection of their rights, the need to increase the level of cyber security and data protection, the development of competitive programs for the automation of the will of citizens, the implementation of the principles of openness and transparency state bodies, monitoring the effectiveness of governance digitization. The prospect of further research is the legal provision of data protection in digital ecosystems.
