(ТОВ «ДКС Центр», Київ, 2023) Kalinichenko, Lyudmila L.; Mishchenko, Maksym I.; Martseniuk, Larysa V.; Bobyl, Volodymyr V.; Pikulina, Olena V.
ENG: Purpose. The article examines the impact of various types of rolling stock, both retrospective, current, and prospective, on infrastructure objects of railway transport, the study of influencing factors will allow to estimate the scope of work on the restoration of such objects, and this will be the basis for the formation of economic indicators of the production program of transport enterprises construction In this way, it will be possible to influence the economic efficiency of the activities of such enterprises, rationally using their production capacities, taking into account the specifics of the performance of individual works at infrastructure facilities. The purpose of the article is to study the potential for increasing the economic efficiency of transport construction enterprises due to the streamlining and rational long-term planning of the production program of their activities, the main elements of which are the elimination of the accumulated wear and tear of infrastructure objects due to the negative impact of rolling stock of various types during operation. Research methodology involves the use of methods: general scientific methods (abstraction and concretization, induction and deduction, analogy), theoretical research (descent from abstract to concrete), empirical research (comparison, observation), synthesis, analysis, etc. The relevance of solving the scientific problem defined in the article is that JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" strives to improve the operational indicators of its activity due to the development of the rolling stock fleet and its operational indicators, and the restraining factor is the infrastructure facilities, which according to their technical condition, primarily due to wear and tear, do not allow to use the operational potential to the full extent. It is at this stage that JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" should pay attention to the efficiency of transport construction enterprises, the purpose of which is to bring the condition of infrastructure facilities to the required operational level. This will allow to optimize the maintenance costs of such facilities and increase the economic efficiency of transport construction enterprises. The results of the study are as follows: the results of the study on determining the main factors affecting the volume and structure of works of transport construction enterprises are presented. The originality and practical value of the research lies in the fact that the article systematizes existing areas of negative impact of rolling stock on infrastructure objects, which directly affects the volume and structure of works of transport construction enterprises, which allows rational management of the economic efficiency of their activities. The conclusions of the study are as follows: the results of the study on the analysis of the impact of rolling stock on infrastructure objects proposed in the work will allow to improve, in the end, the management of the economic efficiency of the activities of transport construction enterprises. The results of the conducted research can be useful for the enterprises of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia", which, due to their functional purpose, have to perform works on the elimination of wear and tear of infrastructure facilities in order to improve the operational activities of railway transport.

The Concept of Forming a System of Change Management in the Domain of Railroad Passenger Transportation in Ukraine under the Conditions of War
(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, 2024) Bobyl, Volodymyr V.; Matusevych, Oleksii O.; Dron, Maryna A.; Taranenko, Artem S.
ENG: The object of research is railroad passenger transportation. The subject of research is a change management system. The problem to be solved is to improve the efficiency of railroad transport enterprises in the field of passenger transportation by introducing a change management system. In the study, the concept of the formation of a change management system in the field of passenger transportation of railroad transport in Ukraine under wartime conditions was devised. Since the conditions of war refer to a variety of emergencies, the concept of "emergency situation", its types, characteristics, and signs that describe its existence are considered. The conditions of emergencies are defined. The properties of total and hybrid war affect the fundamental features of the state management of railroad passenger transport in Ukraine, the work of state departments and railroad passenger transport management enterprises. Taking into account the peculiarities of each type of war and the principles of the state, a system of interconnection of the features and principles of the state management of railroad passenger transportation with possible aggressive changes under wartime conditions was built. Such a system is the core of the devised concept of formation and modeling a change management system in the field of railroad passenger transportation in Ukraine under war conditions. Within the framework of the concept, a strategy is formed – a set of actions during an emergency of a military nature. Based on this concept, in the future, it is possible to construct stages of research, the existence of which could make it possible to build a model of the concept, namely the processes of forming a system of changes.

Corporeality, Morality and Soul of Man in the Treatises by Innokenty Gizel
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2025) Fedko, Olha M.
ENG: Purpose. The study aims to analyse anthropological images of human corporeality and morality in the treatises of the Ukrainian theologian and philosopher of the Baroque era, Innokenty Gizel. His creative synthesis of Orthodox ideas, which represents a humanistic model of understanding man, deserves special attention. Theoretical basis. The methodological basis consists of the basic provisions of historical and philosophical analysis, hermeneutics, and a cultural-anthropological approach. The theoretical basis is provided by works on the history of Ukrainian Baroque thought and Gizel’s philosophical and theological texts. Originality. The author attempts a comprehensive reconstruction of Innokenty Gizel’s anthropological concept in the context of Ukrainian Baroque. Baroque anthropology is considered as a synthetic system that combines the rationalistic, moral-ethical, and spiritual dimensions of human existence. It has been determined that Gizel forms his own model of Christian humanism as a combination of Orthodox spirituality and rationalistic philosophy. The understanding of the soul as a spiritual and rational substance that integrates the physical, moral and cognitive principles is clarified. Conclusions. The anthropological concept of Innokenty Gizel represents a new stage in the development of Ukrainian philosophical and theological thought of the 17th century. At the heart of his teachings is the human being as a spiritual and moral creature, called upon to seek harmony with God through knowledge, repentance and free will. His treatises reflect a dialectical combination of the physical and spiritual, the rational and moral in man, which corresponds to the Baroque idea of the unity of opposites. Gizel created an original Ukrainian version of Christian humanism, in which moral perfection and inner freedom form the basis of true human existence. Thus, the legacy of Innokenty Gizel is an important source for understanding the formation of the Ukrainian anthropological tradition and the development of spiritual culture in the Baroque era.
Correction of Behavior when Working with Psychotrauma in War Conditions
(The legal entity "ASPECT-PRO" LTD, Bulgaria, 2023) Golovkova, Liudmyla S.; Sheviakov, Oleksii ; Ostapenko, Ihor S.
ENG: The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to massive destruction of the economy and the amount of losses is estimated at more than 700 billion dollars. Increased demand in the construction and building structures market due to the restoration of Ukraine requires an increase in the production of sandwich panels. TPK-Center LLC specializes in the production of products for industrial and commercial construction, such as sandwich panels and metal products. Changes in the external environment of the company's operations, the structure of demand for sandwich panels with different insulation materials require changes in its marketing strategy in terms of product mix. Based on the analysis of the business portfolio, such strategic decisions as "BUILD", "HOLD", harvesting and elimination strategies are proposed. A study of the company's customers was The purpose of the article was to find out the specifics of the work of psychologists and psychotherapists with psychotraumas at the behavioral level during the war. Methods. Original psychological methods are proposed and methods of psychological assistance for psychological injuries during the war are described in detail. A complex of scientific and educational cycles of psycho-educational materials is presented, which change the military cadre into a resource one, which is actively introduced into the educational process and implemented in applied professional activities in various fields of psychological science and practice. A set of practical exercises, methods of neurolinguistic programming, individual practices of working with yourself are presented. The results. Key errors of behavior in war conditions, ways of transition from a state of decline to a state of elevation are analyzed. Scientific novelty. The study revealed the eculiarities of social functioning when working with psychotrauma in the conditions of war. The practical significance. Eriksonian hypnosis is offered in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder - a complex mental condition that occurs as a result of trauma. The experience of hypnotherapy as an artificial lie therapy for a positive result is presented. The conducted investigations allow us to draw preliminary conclusions. Indeed, work with psychotrauma in the conditions of war is accompanied by critical moments, the most difficult of which is behavior correction. Providing psycho-prophylactic help by applying the proposed correction method allows you to prevent extremely negative consequences that can deform the personality. Accordingly, further development and approval of the corrective behavioral method of psychoprophylaxis against a wider background is necessary in order to recommend its use to specialists in behavioral economics.
Cultural Deprivation and the Importance of Education
(Scientific Center of Innovative Research, Estonia, 2026) Sizov, Vitalii; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Slavska, Yanina; Bobyl, Volodymyr V.; Matusevich, Oleksii
ENG: The article considers the problems of forming cognitive characteristics of subjects who are subject to the destructive influence of cultural deprivation phenomena. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the trends of cultural deprivation in the modern education system. The study highlights the main characteristics and forms of cultural deprivation. The authors propose as basic characteristics the role and significance of education in conditions of cultural deprivation, as well as a number of forms of manifestation of cultural deprivation. According to the concept of L.S. Vygotsky, it is noted that the education system and pedagogical forms occupy a key place in the nature of cultural deprivation, since subjective deprivation is not an innate, but an acquired quality of the subject. The authors substantiate the position that different cultural environments (the so-called value vectors), acting simultaneously, are not capable of forming socially significant value orientations of the individual, but offer certain "options" or "freedom" of choice, limited only by narrow group relations. The article analyzes the process of substitution, or the likeness of substitution of social values, which lays the foundations of cultural deprivation in society, which, in turn, leads to the degradation of education and a decrease in the cognitive characteristics of individuals, that is, the effect of participation. The emphasis is on the crisis of education, and the means of preventing crisis phenomena in the context of cultural deprivation are considered. The concept of cultural and historical development of L.S. Vygotsky is considered as a methodological basis for preventing crisis phenomena in the education system. Thus, the concept of cultural and historical development can be contrasted with modern processes of cultural deprivation.
Determinants of Opposition to Modern Cultural Diffusion in the Theory of L. Vygotsky
(Scientific Center of Innovative Researches OÜ (Tallinn, Estonia), 2025) Sizov, Vitalii; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Slavska, Yanina; Alforov, Oleksanr
ENG: The article deals with the essence and meaning of the cultural-historical theory of L. Vygotsky, who revealed the social nature of formation of a personality's mental qualities. The main objective of the study is to analyze the trends of multiculturalism as a counterbalance to the process of cultural diffusion. The study highlights the elements of pedagogical technology, which should be based on a cultural and historical basis and, in turn, provides support for the formation of a general concept of education in society. The psychological features of understanding the patterns of the pedagogy development and the formation of methodological basis of the pedagogical science in the modern socio-cultural space are stated. According to L. Vygotsky's concept, the cultural development of a child involves a process in which biological characteristics (ability to remember and think) are transformed into social ones, and the social ones are transformed into psychological ones, modifying the mechanisms of cognitive processes of manifestation and development of memory and thinking. L. Vygotsky substantiates that with this development, the reflex mechanisms fade into the background, but the socio-cultural ones become a priority. The sources characterizing social relations and social interaction, which can become an internal higher mental function, are analyzed. In the act of experiencing, their dramatic collision is melted down and results in a change of the personality structure, becoming an act of development. The topic of social relations that form patterns and models of behaviour is actualized. The emphasis is made on the fact that social relations are not always reduced to collective ones, the sociality can serve as a source of personal experience. The concept of a sign is considered, where consciousness manipulates symbols and concepts. Thus, the cultural-historical theory of L. Vygotsky as an example of cultural relativism can be opposed to modern processes of cultural diffusion.
Determination of Electricity Quality Indicators in Distribution Networks of Industrial Enterprises when Using Starting Devices of Powerful Electric Drives
(TECHNOLOGY CENTER PC, 2026) Gromovyy, Oleksiy; Arailym, Smail; Smagulova, K. K.; Melikuziev, Mirkomil; Baranovskaya, Mila; Romanets, Andrii; Novitsky, Ihor; Humeniuk, Anna A.; Kolysnychenko, Ilya; Bilukhin, Dmytro S.
ENG: The object of research is the processes of electromagnetic transformation in powerful asynchronous electric drives during controlled start-up and their impact on the quality of electricity in the power supply network. Distribution networks of industrial enterprises are considered, which have significant dynamic loads during the start-up of powerful machines. The problem to which the research is aimed is to ensure proper quality of electricity in distribution networks of industrial enterprises when performing controlled start-up of powerful asynchronous electric drives from soft starters based on a thyristor voltage regulator. Quantitative indicators of the influence of starting devices on the parameters of electricity quality were calculated using computer modeling in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Soft start using a thyristor regulator, although it limits the starting current, has a negative impact on the quality of electricity in the distribution network. Reactive power consumption increases, which causes a voltage drop. For the case of starting an asynchronous motor with a capacity of 3500 kW in the network of a sintering factory, it was found that direct start causes a voltage drop of about 350 V. Harmonic voltage distortions with a distortion factor of up to 6% also appear. Power active filters allow to improve the quality of electricity by introducing antiphase currents, which is proven by the application of theoretical methods of electrical engineering. The results obtained are applicable in the design of electric drive systems of powerful mechanisms during the modernization of the power supply of industrial enterprises, in the calculation of reactive power compensation means and in the development of energy quality standards. This will significantly contribute to increasing the reliability of technological equipment, reducing energy losses, and increasing the service life of electrical equipment at the enterprise.
The Development of Ecological (Green) and Rural Tourism for the Disabled People in Ukraine
(Дніпровський національний університет імені Олеся Гончара, Дніпро, 2023) Golovkova, Liudmyla S.; Yukhnovska, Yulia O.; Ryzhenko, Oleksii M.
ENG: The research is devoted to analysis of the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism for the disabled people in Ukraine. For solving the set task the following investigation methods were used in the work: dialectical method, analysis and synthesis (research of existing ecological and rural routes by the territory of national natural parks of the regions of Ukraine), graphical method (for illustration of the results of the research); systematic-structural and expert analysis (for definition of priority routes of ecological (green) and rural tourism for the disabled participants and victims of the antiterrorist operation, people with disabilities, disabled children and elderly persons). The modern state of the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism in the regions of Ukraine was studied in the research. The role of the urbanization level in the demand formation for ecological (green) and rural tourism and interrelation between the urbanization and state of the environment was defined. The number of people with different forms of disability by the regions of Ukraine was investigated. Also, the number of the disabled persons among participants and victims of the antiterrorist operation (ATO) was analysed. A survey was conducted among people with disabilities on the priority and need to ensure the use of different types of tourism for people with disabilities. The current and promising routes of ecological (green) and rural tourism for disabled participants and victims of the anti-terrorist operation, people with disabilities, disabled children and elderly persons were analysed and unresolved issues of free access to tourist routes for people with disabilities were determined. The leading regions of Ukraine for the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism for people with disabilities were identified. A kind of ecological (green) and rural tourism with treatment and rehabilitation effect – animal therapy and development of its various methods (apitherapy, hippotherapy, canistherapy, enotherapy) in the regions of Ukraine was analysed. Potential opportunities, available recreational resources and prospects for the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism in the industrial Zaporizhzhia region were investigated. The directions of the tourist routes adaptation to the needs of people with disabilities through the formation of a barrier-free space were defined.
Development of Leadership Competences in Bachelor’s and Master’s Students as a Factor in the Formation of Intellectual Capital of Modern Entrepreneurship in the Context of Digitalization
(CEUR-WS Team, Aachen, Germany, 2025) Martsenyuk, Vasyl; Golovkova, Liudmyla S.; Nahorniak, Halyna; Garmatiuk, Oksana; Dyshkant, Yurii
ENG: The article is devoted to the problems of developing leadership competencies in bachelor’s and master’s students as a factor in the formation of intellectual capital of modern entrepreneurship in the context of the formation of a digital society. The study highlights the need to create effective mechanisms to ensure the formation, development and use of leadership competencies in undergraduate and graduate students in the context of digital transformations, as a basis for increasing the competitiveness of entrepreneurship in countries. This determines the need and relevance of further scientific research in the field of developing conceptual theoretical and methodological approaches and practical recommendations that allow you to effectively form and build intellectual capital in the context of complex digital transformations. In the context of the formation of the digital economy, the traditional understanding of the main factors of enterprise competitiveness that stimulate the growth of business value based on maximizing its own profits has been replaced by other theories in which institutions, knowledge, management of leadership competencies, trust systems, corporate culture, intellectual and human capital play a significant role. Changes that occur in the economy and are associated with the development and implementation of digital technologies significantly affect the already formed business models. New materials, augmented reality, additive technologies, unmanned vehicles, advanced robotics, cloud computing and data storage, biometric and implanted technologies, big data and machine learning, a huge range of financial technologies and much more - all these phenomena effectively use information technology. The research methods are historical and empirical methods, the method of scientific abstraction, methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of system analysis. Scientific novelty consists in the development of a comprehensive approach to the development of leadership competencies in bachelor’s and master’s students by introducing modern digital processes in the educational process of universities; implementation of educational programs related to the formation of basic and specialized entrepreneurial competencies, the development of entrepreneurial thinking and culture, which will accelerate the entry of countries into the developed digital environment; automation of business processes, new methods of attracting customers, reducing the time for decision-making, reducing costs. The fate of the educational organization as an institutional and infrastructural element of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which enhances its own characteristics as an entrepreneurial structure, is determined. Transformation into an entrepreneurial structure allows it to set entrepreneurial goals to increase income and use the qualities inherent in such a structure (initiative, focus on market share, etc.) to optimize entrepreneurial education. The study also examines the components of the intellectual capital of small and medium-sized businesses, in which the main ones are human capital in combination with organizational and relationship capital in the context of digitalization, as opportunities to ensure the competitiveness of domestic enterprises.
Development of Non-Professional Physical Education Among Students: Literature Review of Psychological and Pedagogical Support
(Scientific Center of Innovative Research OÜ (Estonia), 2023) Prykhodko, Volodymyr; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Burlakova, Iryna; Slavska, Yanina; Cherednichenko, Oleksii
ENG: In the case of specialties called "civilian", the focus is not on the nature and specificity of official operations using physical qualities, as is the case in the practice of professional physical training, but other approaches. The purpose of the research is to actualize the need and reveal the essence of such an aspect of physical education as non-professional physical education of students. The methods of theoretical research, study and generalization of data from literary sources, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction are used. An innovative approach to strengthening the educational component of the educational discipline "Physical Culture" in institutions of general secondary education and "Physical Education" in institutions of higher education has been transformed into research and practice in a number of countries. Nonprofessional physical education is a high level of physical education. The main sign of education is the inclusion of a person in physical activity. In institutions of higher education, this is a pedagogical process that should "close" the long-term withdrawal of youth with physical education. The results of the formation of the theoretical thinking of the projective type necessary for an educated person are foreseen. In the course of such conscious physical education, which is not the same as physical literacy, the values and goals of using physical education in various situations, which are constantly changing, are formed. These are also abilities necessary for creating an image of "myself in the future", designing and implementing systems of own physical education classes. Non-professional physical education of students of civil specialties should contribute to the formation of a person capable of using physical education. Non-professional physical education is singled out as an independent direction, which is determined by the characteristics of the personality of adults: the complexity of organizing reflection, communication, understanding, self-determination of a person and goal setting. The results of the research can be useful and applied in practice by specialists in physical culture and education.
Diagnostics of the Transformation of Intellectual Capital Properties in Ukraine
(Український державний університет науки і технологій, Дніпро, 2024) Bobyl, Volodymyr V.; Hannouf, Kateryna
ENG: The focus of this study is on the analysis of transformations of the nation's intellectual capital during the period preceding the conflict. It identifies and organizes modern methods of assessing intellectual capital, classifies indicators considering their impact on the total volume of intellectual capital, and implements the normalization of these indicators for creating radial diagrams and determining the state of intellectual capital in Ukraine. The effect of changes in intellectual capital on the fluctuations of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is also examined. Methodology. To achieve the objectives of the study, various methods were employed: dialectical method and synthesis for analyzing the evolution of human, organizational, and structural capitals; graphic analysis for the visual representation of data; and comprehensive and structural analysis with expert assessments to evaluate the impact of intellectual capital transformations on economic indicators. Scientific and Practical Significance. The work contributes to understanding the impact of changes in the structure of intellectual capital on GDP dynamics, which is key to developing an effective strategy for managing the country's intellectual resources. From a practical standpoint, the research aids in establishing criteria for evaluating intellectual capital and developing motivational mechanisms based on digital innovations and artificial intelligence for optimizing the structure of intellectual capital, paving the way for the development of a refinement strategy.
Ecosystem Service Valuation of Natural Healing Assets: A Sustainability-Corrected Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) Capitalization Model
(Koszalin University of Technology, 2026) Korenyuk, Liudmyla; Kovshun, Nataliia; Kostetska, Kateryna; Konarivska, Oksana B.; Metil, Tetiana; Bekirov, Eldar
ENG: Natural healing resources (NHR) are presented as ecosystem resources that have a dual nature of ecosystem services and economic significance for the country, and the result of their sustainable use should provide a reserve for the provision of rehabilitation and health services to the population. Currently, international scientists' achievements in accounting for natural capital include the System of Ecological-Economic Accounting (SEEA) and the Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP), which have become widely adopted. In contrast, the economic and social functions of healing natural assets that are not included in the system of ecological and economic accounts are not reflected at all. This situation creates institutional collapse within the sectoral economy, which is focused on the development of resort areas, and within the social contribution – rehabilitation, and health. The study is devoted to developing a hybrid methodological framework for capitalizing on natural healing assets by adapting the GEP approach to healing ecosystems. The hybrid methodology proposed by the authors involves conducting an assessment across three areas: ecological, medical-biological, and financial-economic (based on replacement cost, willingness to pay, and market approaches consistent with the principles of ecological-economic accounting).
Enlightenment Thought and the Characteristics of Its Contemporary Transformations
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2025) Liakh, V. V.; Khmil, Volodymyr V.
ENG: The purpose of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of the proposed variants of Enlightenment ideals in order to demonstrate the complexity of this problem and the diversity of approaches to its resolution. It aims to clarify the boundaries of classical Enlightenment thought and its explications, the Second Enlightenment and the New Enlightenment in particular, and to identify the points at which a transition into a new qualitative stage becomes possible. Theoretical basis. The analysis deals with conceptual approaches that need paradigmatic shifts in the fundamental orientations of humanity. The study draws on interpretations of the classical paradigm of Enlightenment ideals, particularly those by Immanuel Kant, as well as contemporary attempts to support or rehabilitate these ideals under present-day conditions (S. Pinker). Originality. The growing technological and sociocultural transformations have reached a level at which the idea of humanity’s linear development appears increasingly untenable, thereby intensifying the demand for new basic principles of development. The expansion of what may be described as a Nietzschean "Age of the Will" calls into question how the ideals of classical Enlightenment can be implemented in contemporary realities. As there is a substantial shift toward authoritarianism and the decline of liberal democracies, the threat of destabilizing the global international order is becoming increasingly evident. The philosophical analysis therefore focuses on possible strategies for counteracting the rise of authoritarian tendencies, understanding the prospects for combining the volitional dimension with a rational approach. Conclusions. Any assessment or reassessment of the Enlightenment legacy must primarily take into account the current radical transformations in the modern world, including changes of a wide range of fundamental concepts. On the one hand, the values of the Enlightenment is a civilizational achievement that humanity cannot reject, on the other hand, each historical phase requires its own values, regulative principles, and worldview orientations. This gives rise to an urgent question: do contemporary global crises signal a qualitative shift in the interpretation of human value, rationality, and progress, or are they merely temporary obstacles within a potentially progressive trajectory of human development? A fundamental dilemma emerges – either to preserve earlier values or to renew by creating a new set of virtues that could serve as guiding principles for the future development of humanity.
Features of Corporate Well-Being
(Scientific Center of Innovative Researches OÜ, Tallinn, 2020) Burlakova, Iryna; Sheviakov, Oleksiy; Kondes, Tetiana
ENG: One of the important areas of future wellbeing programs in corporations will be the creation of a positive and healthy workplace culture. This will help maintain healthy staff habits both in and out of the office. Only 10% of health is determined by medical care. 90% -by lifestyle choices, genetics and social determinants. Well-being brings together mental health (mind) and physical health (body), resulting in more holistic approaches todisease prevention and health promotion. Many companies are already approaching such spending as an investment in human capital. After all, investing in people's mental health affects employee turnover, productivity, company culture. Our sociological survey made it possible to determine what is well-being for the company'semployees and what values are their priority. Our complete wellbeing solutions focus on the mental and emotional aspects of workplace wellness programs.
Features of Psychological Education in Ukraine During the War and Post-War Recovery
(Scientific Center of Innovative Researches OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia, 2024) Koval, Vladyslav; Burlakova, Iryna; Sheviakov, Oleksiy; Kondes, Tetiana
ENG: The ongoing war in Ukraine and the ensuing post-war recovery have significantly transformed the nation’s educational and mental health systems. Psychological education has emerged as a vital field, addressing the escalating demand for mental health support, trauma recovery, and resilience-building among affected populations. This article explores the transformative adaptations of psychological education in Ukraine, including the integration of trauma-informed practices, the use of advanced therapeutic methods, and international collaborations. These efforts aim to equip professionals with the necessary skills to foster individual and societal healing in the face of adversity. This study aims to examine the distinctive features and adaptations of psychological education in Ukraine during the war and the post-war recovery period. Specifically, it seeks to identify strategies employed to address widespread trauma, enhance resilience, and promote societal healing. The article also highlights the role of trauma-informed education, community-based mental health initiatives, and global partnerships in shaping these educational transformations. The study employs a qualitative review methodology, synthesizing data from academic literature, institutional reports, and global frameworks on psychological education and mental health strategies. The analysis reveals several key features of psychological education in Ukraine during the war and post-war recovery: crisis-oriented curricula; practical training; remote learning and digital tools; resilience and coping mechanisms; cultural sensitivity and contextual adaptation; global collaborations. The article underscores the need for ongoing research to refine trauma-informed education and evaluate its long-term impact on both students and educators. Psychological education in Ukraine has undergone significant transformation, addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by war and recovery. By integrating advanced therapeutic practices, fostering community resilience, and leveraging global collaborations, Ukraine has established a robust framework for addressing mental health needs in conflict-affected regions. These efforts not only aid immediate recovery but also lay the foundation for a resilient and psychologically aware society.
Financial Self-Recovery of the Bank under Marital Law
(Дніпровський державний аграрно-економічний університет, ТОВ «ДКС Центр», 2024) Dron, Maryna A.; Taranenko, Artem S.
ENG: The purpose of this study is to improve the development of directions for selfhealing of a bank under martial law. To achieve this goal, the author analyzes the main areas of recovery of a bank's activities in crisis conditions, namely: increasing the level of equity capital; additional financing; sale of assets; restructuring of liabilities. It is established that during the period of martial law, it is necessary to implement the Plan for Restoring Financial Stability in a Crisis, which was developed by the bank in advance. The purpose of this Plan is to develop measures in advance to support the bank's continuing operations in the event of a significant deterioration in its financial condition due to changes in internal and external environment factors. This plan should define in advance a set of options and tools for actions in various stressful situations, including martial law. In combination with other anti-crisis banking instruments, the areas of self-healing should be diverse and varied. It is noted that the assessment of the effectiveness of the bank's recovery areas should be carried out through the procedure of stress testing of the main banking risks: credit, liquidity and market. The authors identify the main criteria for successful self-healing of a bank under martial law: compliance by the bank with economic standards and internal restrictions; stopping the outflow of customer funds; creating a sufficient stock of liquid resources; achieving an optimal balance between assets and liabilities by maturity; no bank debt in fulfilling customer payment documents; full repayment of debt or reaching an agreement on debt restructuring to stakeholders; an increase in the share of standard loans; a steady trend toward improved financial results; the closure of unprofitable business lines. It is concluded that in 2022, the banking sector operated smoothly, maintained liquidity, and provided loans, although with due regard to the peculiarities of wartime. This was made possible by identifying areas of self-healing for banks, as well as sector reforms carried out in previous years by the national regulator.
Financial Strategy of Management for Marketing and Communication Design in Smart Economy Conditions
(Vytautas Magnus University Agriculture Academy, Lithuania, 2023) Lozhachevska, Olena; Taranenko, Artem S.; Raikovska, Inna; Pleskach, Oleksandr; Kupchyshynа, Olga; Shatskaya, Zorina; Puzyryova, Polina
ENG: The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of a financial strategy for marketing and communication design management in a smart economy. It is noted that the solution to the problem of assessing the financial strategy of marketing and communication design management in a smart economy is important in shaping a new type of national economy based on technology, new knowledge and innovation. It is noted that the chosen topic of our study has hardly been analysed in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. In view of the above, we propose a methodology for assessing the financial strategy of marketing and communication design management in a smart economy. On the basis of multifactor linear regression, the study of the influence of smart economy factors on the level of profitability of enterprises as a resultant indicator of financial strategic management for the past ten years has been conducted. Using the tools of different types of mathematical-statistical modelling, the forecasting of the level of financial management efficiency for 2024-2026 has been calculated.
Formation of the Motivation Component of Value Orientation in Children 6-7 Years Old During Mini-Basketball Classes
(«Public Administration and Law Review» is Scientific Center of Innovative Research OÜ (Estonia), 2024) Mitova, Olena; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Slavska, Yanina; Cherednichenko, Oleksii
ENG: In the case of the first year of mini-basketball lessons for children, the emphasis is not on the nature and specificity of training actions using physical qualities, as is the case in the practice of professional physical training, but on other approaches. The purpose of the study is to actualize the need and reveal the essence of such an aspect of physical education as a motivational component of value orientations. The methods of theoretical research, study and generalization of data from literary sources, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, empirical research are used. An innovative approach to strengthening the motivational component of the educational discipline of value orientations in mini-basketball classes has gained scientific and practical application in a number of countries. Mini-basketball is a high level of dynamic physical education and sport. The main feature of education is the inclusion of the child in motor activity. In sports facilities, this is a pedagogical process that should "close" a child's long-term withdrawal from physical education. The results of the formation of the value-based thinking of the projective type necessary for the child are foreseen. In the course of such conscious physical education, which is not the same as physical activity, the values and goals of using physical education in various game situations are formed, which are constantly changing. These are also the abilities necessary to create a motivational image of "myself in the future", design and implement systems of own minibasketball lessons. Systematic physical education of children should contribute to the formation of a motivated personality. Playing minibasketball stands out as an independent direction, which is determined by the characteristics of the child's personality: the complexity of organizing reflection, communication, understanding, self-determination and goal setting. The results of the research can be useful and applied in practice by physical culture and sports specialists.
Gender Features of Anticipation of Legal Specialists
(Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs, Dnipro, 2019) Agarkov, Oleh A.; Sheviakov, Oleksiy; Burlakova, Iryna; Shramko, Ihor A.
ENG: The article identifies the main approaches to the study of the phenomenon of anticipation. The concept of anticipation ability is investigated. The differences between the concepts of foreboding and intuition were identified. The specific work of legal professionals is characterized. The features of anticipation ability of representatives of different professional groups of legal professionals, as well as depending on the gender of the respondents, are considered. Indicators of overcoming behavior in different professional groups of legal professionals and with gender are analyzed. It is established that every profession, in addition to physical and psychological characteristics, has at its core personal qualities that contribute to a successful human activity. First of all, it should be attributed to professions where the object of professional activity is another person and their interaction depends on the qualities of each. It is emphasized that, in addition to professional qualities, a lawyer in the field of law has personal properties, one of which is anticipation, which is an integrative property, the degree, depth and manifestation of which depend on its level. An empirical study of legal practitioners' foresight has identified the most important links between mutual expectation parameters and expectation parameters with predictive behavior strategies. Gender differences of legal professionals have been identified, namely that men tend to be more “Reflexive”, “Strategic Planning” and “Preventive” than women. Women are less likely to build a clear plan with a hierarchy of goals, assess possible stressors and potential problems, with predictable outcomes and prepare actions to counteract these stressors and problems.
Gender Reflection of the Enlightenment Paradigm in the Comparative- Historical Contexts of Britain and Ukraine
(Видавництво «Грані», 2026) Vlasova, Tetiana I.; Skyba, Eleonora; Litman, Maksym
ENG: The ambiguity of the definitions and concepts, which is characteristic of the metamodern evolution, has produced a great impact on the inner world of Man and Woman in the matrix where the very human essence becomes a kind of simulacrum. The latter is directly connected with the metamodern gender narratives, which reflect the instability of the pendulum of history in the contexts of feminism including the issue of women`s education. The aim of researching the correlation of the Enlightenment grand narratives and their later versions in the eastern Ukraine and the western Great Britain in the XIXth century is realized in the cultural reconstruction of the woman’s personality in the intersubjective field of the «late Enlightenment» with the stress on women’s education as a focal point for feminist reforms. The methodology of the article is based on the interdisciplinary dialogue with the accent on the comparative-historical approaches. The idea of the complexity of the dialectics, history and literature is considered to provide the most significant material for understanding radical changes in the social and cultural development of the country we live in. The scientific results accentuate the idea that the subjectivation of women in the first half of the XIXth century followed the Enlightenment narratives of rationality and education, which contributed much to creating the image of Femina Nuova in Europe and – to the minor though significant extent – in Ukraine. When the Western European gender conditions are put against the background of the Enlightenment, it is evident that the “feminists before feminism” were not oriented forwards the political equality. The conclusions state that the Enlightenment changed the gender status of subjectivation, representing the shift of the gender paradigm in its late phase in Ukraine. However, the gender narratives were not transformed significantly: the paradigm and the binary opposition of «public-private» represent the stability of gender regimes in Europe in the middle of the XIXth century.
The History of Medicine as An Element of the Psychoprophylaxis of the Crisis of Professional Training Among Veterinary Medical Specialists
(Scientific Center of Innovative Research OÜ, Estonia, 2022) Sheviakov, Oleksiy; Burlakova, Iryna; Kornienko, Victoria; Vakulik, Vyacheslav; Slavska, Yanina
ENG: The article defines the main approaches to the psychological support of the process of preventing the crisis of professional training in higher education seekers. The aim of article was to find such a means of protection against the negative consequences of the crisis, which would be based on moral values and contribute to the integration of the noble ideas of past generations into the present. We decided to achieve the realization of the idea with the help of the historical and scientific methods. The factors of the crisis of professional training among applicants of veterinary and medical specialties are characterized. Features of the system structure of mental phenomena and the concept of psychological support of the process of psychoprophylaxis are considered. It is emphasized the need to implement a systematic approach based on empirical data, which includes research aimed at harmonizing the psychological state of drug addicts. Empirical research revealed the peculiarities of the social functioning of applicants for veterinary and medical specialties. There are differences in the psychological well-being of specialists of such specialties: they are characterized by a predominance of interest in the history of medicine, which reflects their interest in the profession, admiration for it; in the period of crisis, the self-esteem and locus of control indicators of achievers are such as to indicate inadequate assessment and inability to use their own strength to achieve the goal.
The History of War Suryival Culture and the Art of Victory
(Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, Dnipro, 2022) Zhyhaylo, Nataliya; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Schu, Gao Han; Khomulenko, Tamara
ENG: The article considers the problems of the methodology of providing psychological assistance in conditions of war from the socio-cultural point of view. The main task of the study is to analyze the culture of using psychological techniques in wartime and detailing the necessary assistance for psychological trauma. The study highlights the achievements of the team of specialists of the Lviv regional branch of the Society of Psychologists of Ukraine together with the Department of Psychology, Psychological Service of Lviv National University named after Ivan Franko, colleagues from Kharkiv National University named after GS Frying pans and Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs. The article unifies and develops the advice of experts. The authors try to overcome the fear of war with a sense of faith in victory, regulation of information flows of news, filling themselves with positive, prayer, healthy lifestyle (water balance, sports, physical activity, physical labor, vitaminization, sleep normalization). The second way is to provide psychological support, help others, develop a sense of humor, playing techniques, peace slogans, planning for the future. The article argues that spirituality, as an integrative quality, is one of the most fundamental characteristics of the individual as an open system. It is a complex mental phenomenon, a manifestation of the inner world of man, the energy information structure of the individual. Spirituality is a specific personality trait in meeting two fundamental needs: the ideal need for knowledge and the social need to live and function for others. Under the spiritual formation of the individual means the acquisition of spiritual values, religious consciousness and self-consciousness of the individual; development of her spiritual priorities; substantiation of the system of values that should form the basis of life in order to come to the forefront of the whole process of life. The sources of spirituality are science, culture, religion and art. The experience of spiritual education is summarized, its growing importance in Ukrainian society within the framework of a holistic system of spiritual formation of human personality on the example of students.
The Idea of the "Self-Made Man" and the Philosophy of Postmodernism
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2026) Korkh, Oleksandr M.; Khmil, Volodymyr V.
ENG: Purpose. This study explores the underestimated potential of postmodern philosophy to understand a modern human and their priorities, particularly through the interpretation of the idea of the "self-made man" (an individual who creates oneself). Through a comparative analysis, the paper examines the conceptualization of human formation as a self-made man in the Enlightenment era and postmodernity context. Theoretical basis. The study is based on analytical and generalizing methods, as well as the works of M. Foucault, J. Baudrillard, J.-F. Lyotard, U. Eco, etc. Originality. Despite the claims regarding narrow opportunities for individual self-determination in postmodernity, the ideal of the "self-made man" remains an integral component of philosophical reflection. It is demonstrated that the postmodern delegitimation of Enlightenment metanarratives entails the rejection of metaphysical discourse. Within this framework, metanarratives gradually lose their appeal, while individuals are increasingly compelled to rely on themselves and independently determine their priorities. People act regardless of their social status, define the goals and sense of their existence, and choose the means of achieving them. The process of becoming a person unfolds in social transformations, the growing complexity of democratic institutions, and the emancipation of individuals seeking to make their lives more meaningful. Conclusions. The search for human emancipation encompasses several stages of social and mental development through self-determination and self-realization, where new attempts to reveal human creative potential emerge. Despite the diversity of approaches, postmodern philosophy demonstrates that the idea capable of uniting humanity lies in the aspiration toward a full existence of the individual as a self-sufficient being. Such understanding of personality, experience, and uniqueness creates more favorable conditions for the formation and realization of one’s own concept of the "self-made man".
The Image of "Homo Travels" in the Context of the Digital Age
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, 2025) Rudenko, Maryna V.; Dobryk, Liliia O.
ENG: Purpose. The main purpose of the article is to understand the place and role of a person in the digital environment and to overcome the forms of alienation in the algorithmically directed sphere of social existence that provide him or her with a sense of freedom through spatial mobility in leisure, travel, and entertainment. The risks of sensory isolation, emotional exhaustion, fragmentation of attention, and changes in sensation, perception of space and time are included in the analysis. The subject of the analysis is the identification of opportunities and threats that cause a change in a person’s worldview. Theoretical basis. The study is based on modern approaches to technology and socio-cultural analysis of human relations. The authors rely on the SWOT analysis methodology to assess the positive and negative effects of digitalisation, which correct human perception of reality and influence the worldview. Originality. The authors propose their own view on the digitalisation of services as a factor of anthropological transformation in the context of human-technology relations, which changes the quality of human existence and leisure. It is proved that the concept of "Homo travels" defines a new anthropological model of mobile human behaviour, for whom travel is a form of self-knowledge, meaning-making, interaction with the social world and the digital aggressive environment. An attempt is made to analyse the phenomenon of the latest technologies, within which the new digital mobility poses challenges to human autonomy, emotional stability and identity, resulting in a new worldview that transforms human emotions, which become a catalyst for change and move into a new dimension of interaction between the physical and virtual environment. Conclusions. The paper states that the digitalisation of services creates a new format of social interactions, expands the possibilities of self-knowledge, but subject to their ethical and human-centred implementation. By introducing the concept of Homo travels, the authors emphasise that the process of digitalisation in the transport sector transforms a person from a passive object of utilitarian use of technology into an active participant in socio-cultural processes that shape human life, act as a means of socialisation, a condition for personal self-improvement, and also contribute to cognitive and emotional-psychological development.
Impact of Information and Communication Technology on the Digital Economy
(Український державний університет науки і технологій, Дніпро, 2024) Kaira, Z.; Golovkova, Liudmyla S.; Vaschenko, О. P.; Vaschenko, О.
ENG: The article explores the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their role and place in the dynamics of the digital economy. The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the digital economy on GDP per capita in EU countries. Methodology. Analysis of ICT as a key factor in enhancing economic growth through the implementation of digital technology opportunities. Panel data from Eurostat and the World Bank covering EU countries from 2014 to 2021 were used for analysis. A correlation analysis was then conducted between variables, and the model was relevant for forecasting. Results. The number of studies on the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on the economic growth of countries has increased in recent years. However, there is still no assessment of the real GDP impact on the level of household Internet access in the EU area. Studying this gap in the literature allows us to draw conclusions about the implications for stakeholders regarding more effective implementation of the digital agenda. Scientific novelty. The digital economy, measured by Internet, mobile phone, and fixed broadband access, influences the economic growth of a country. This, in turn, depends on the level of technology measures covering the digital economy. ICT positively influence the development of countries' economies and can be used as tools by stakeholders. These agents should generate policies that enhance ICT technological infrastructure, digital empowerment of the population, and greater access to ICT. The GDP level model is presented as a function of Internet access for households in the EU area along with a short-term forecast for this index. It is shown that investments in ICT infrastructure are indispensable for the development of a strong knowledge- and digital technology-based economy. Practical significance. The research results will help in identifying opportunities and levers of influence for governmental institutions and other socio-economic systems on the impact of digital economy development processes on GDP per capita in EU countries.
Improving the Development of Sports in the Conditions of Ukraine: a Sociological Study
(The legal entity "ASPECT-PRO" LTD, Bulgaria, 2023) Prykhodko, Volodymyr; Sheviakov, Oleksii ; Dolbysheva, Nina; Cherednichenko, Oleksii
ENG: The purpose of the article was to record and track, based on a set of indicators, the opinion of experts regarding the practice of using the "sports region" effect to improve the development of the field of sports in the conditions of a separate region and Ukraine. Methods. The main method of collecting empirical material is an expert survey using a questionnaire. The methods of extrapolation, exploratory and normative forecasting were used to analyze the obtained statistical material. The results. Taking into account the existence of "sports regions" should be an important part of the strategy for the development of Olympic and nonOlympic sports in Ukraine, as this is confirmed by the support of experts. To achieve this, sports organizations and authorities should develop plans aimed at supporting the development of sports in individual regions. Scientific novelty. The study revealed the peculiarities of the development of the sphere of sports in the conditions of Ukraine. The practical significance. In view of supporting the development of sports that already have long-term and steady success, it is important to provide financial support, infrastructural base and promote the popularization of these sports in the areas where they are most developed. To achieve faster results in sportsmanship, the allocation of resources and support to athletes and teams from regions that already have a high level of achievement should be promoted. Institutions of higher education in the regions of Ukraine should include in the planning of scientific research the analysis of "sports regions" to improve the scientific base and development of sports.
Innovative and Psychological Climate in the Sociohumanitarian Discourse of Talent Development in the Field of Sports
(Дніпропетровський державний університет внутрішніх справ, Дніпро, 2024) Krasilshchikov, Oleksandr; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Burlakova, Iryna
ENG: Procedures for preliminary and final identification of talented athletes are proposed, which are confirmed theoretically and practically with the expectation of certain results for the development of talents. With high-quality teaching of physical education and a regular opportunity to fully engage in school physical education, it is possible to set the goal of increasing the number of "motorically" gifted and physically developed children at any school age. If this goal is achieved, the number of children with "activated" potential, who are ready to undergo thorough procedures for identifying and identifying talents, can increase many times, thanks to: a) increasing the probability of identifying a child as talented; b) simplifying the work of coaches in recognizing and identifying talent among hundreds of proven potentially talented children for further development of their talent for sports and through sports.
Internal Control System as a Factor of Reliability in Management Reporting Under Conditions of Economic Turbulence
(RITHA PUBLISHING HOUSE, 2026) Shchyrba, Iryna; Khmeliuk, Alona; Budko, Oksana; Bobyl, Volodymyr V.; Salo, Yana
ENG: This paper examines the role of internal control systems (ICS) in ensuring the reliability of management reporting under conditions of economic turbulence. Using a panel dataset of 52 Ukrainian enterprises over the period 2020–2024, the research applies fixed-effects and dynamic panel (System GMM) models to evaluate both the direct and moderating effects of internal control and macroeconomic instability. The results indicate that internal control systems have a significant positive impact on reporting reliability, while economic turbulence negatively affects the quality of management information. Importantly, the interaction between internal control and turbulence reveals a buffering effect, demonstrating that mature control systems partially mitigate the adverse impact of external shocks. Firm size and profitability further enhance reporting reliability, whereas financial leverage increases the risk of distortions. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the stabilizing role of internal control systems in volatile environments and offers practical implications for strengthening risk-oriented governance and digital control mechanisms to support resilient decision-making.
Marginalization of Man in Technical Civilization
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2025) Yao, X.; Radkevich, Tetiana O.; Charkina, Tetiana Yu.
ENG: Purpose. This article aims to study ways of reconsidering the naive and optimistic view of technology in contemporary philosophical literature. Theoretical basis. The research draws on the concepts of phenomenology and philosophical anthropology. Originality. The focus of critical reflection is on negative trends in technological development that pose a threat to humanity’s survival. In this context, the in-depth study of philosophical questions about what technology is and what it means to be human becomes particularly relevant. Naive interpretations often suggest that technology plays a central role in shaping human identity. For instance, Marxism embodies this idea, viewing the level of technological development (tools and means of production) as both a primary factor in historical human formation and a measure of social progress. Naivety also manifests in the belief that radical global change is justified. However, as modern scholars of the history of philosophy and philosophy of technology convincingly argue, these views are superficial and rely on partial readings of classical texts. Today, the recognition of non-technical factors – such as language, rituals, and play – in human development is widely accepted and productive. A deeper understanding of current technological interpretations opens new perspectives for exploring humans’ role in culture and exploring human responsibility. Conclusions. In modern times, the most urgent issue is how people’s relationship with technology is evolving. This is reflected in growing uncertainty and fear. Modern researchers warn that the naive reception of technology as a tool results in disconnecting technology from culture, philosophy, and ethics. The emancipation of technical rationality from value-based one, breaking the link between philosophy and science, truth and goodness, is particularly troubling. Consequently, there is an urgent need to find ways to humanize technology, beginning with a fundamental rethink of the technomorphic view that defines humans as tool makers. The marginalization of humans stems from the dominance of ideas portraying technology as an external tool. Recognizing the importance of language, rituals, and play in human development is both profound and justified. The notion that technology is a means to realize human essence – that is, working on oneself (psyche) – remains compelling. Moving beyond naive views of technology and developing sound philosophical frameworks is a crucial step towards understanding human nature and discovering one’s purpose in the universe. A detailed exploration of this concept will be the subject of the next publication.
Model Substantiation of Strategies of Economic Behavior in the Context of Increasing Negative Impact of Environmental Factors in the Context of Sustainable Development
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022) Ivanov, Roman V.; Grynko, Tetyana; Porokhnya, Vasyl; Pavlov, Roman; Golovkova, Lyudmila S.
ENG: The concept of sustainable development considers environmental, social and economic issues in general. And the goals of resource conservation and socio-economic development do not contradict each other, but contribute to mutual reinforcement. The purpose of this study is to build and test an economic and mathematical model for the formation of strategies for the behavior of an economic entity with an increase in the impact of negative environmental factors. The proposed strategies and their models are based on the income-expenditure balance equation, which takes into account both quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The constructed models are considered in the state space. The research methodology is based on building models in the form of linear combinations of functions of a homogeneous external impact and various spatial combinations of economic sources (sinks). The study makes it possible to assess the dependence of the amount of resources used for life support on the chosen adaptive strategy. Within the framework of the proposed model, it was found that the criterion for the effectiveness of the applied strategy can be an indicator of satisfaction with the state, the preservation of which, simultaneously with the preservation of the size of resources used, corresponds to the direction of optimization. This approach is consistent with the concept of sustainable development.
Modern Psychological Technologies for Correcting Conflict Situations in Limited Coalitions (Based on Volleyball Material)
(ТОВ ОВС, Харків, Україна, 2023) Doroshenko, Eduard; Shevyakov, Oleksiy; Melnyk, Mykhaylo; Oliinyk, Mykhaylo; Oliinyk, Irina; Vaniuk, Daria
ENG: The purpose of the work – to determine the peculiarities of the response of sportswomen to conflict situations in the conditions of a limited coalition of the volleyball team in order to optimize the process of sports training. Materials and methods. Participants: 30 amateur volleyball players (women), who participated in park and beach volleyball competitions in the 2022-2023 season under the auspices of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Volleyball Federation. Age range: 18-27. Methods: Analysis and systematization of data from scientific and methodical literature and the electronic resource of global information network “Internet”; pedagogical observations; psychological testing according to the method of K. Thomas “Determining the style of behavior in a conflict situation”; pedagogical experiment of controlling orientation; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The analysis of the experimental indicators allows us to state that the volleyball players of the main group significantly improved the “cooperation” (+6.67%) and “compromise” (+6.67%) indicators, while the “avoidance” indicator significantly decreased (-13.33%). Based on this, we note that the technology for correcting conflict situations in limited coalitions of the volleyball team is quite effective (indicators of volleyball players of the main group). Among the volleyball players of the control group, an increase in indicators according to the “compromise” criteria (+6.67%) and a decrease according to the “avoidance” criterion (-6.66%) were recorded. Conclusion. Modern technologies of psychological training in volleyball, which relate to issues of correction of conflict situations in limited coalitions, are a prerequisite for increasing the effectiveness of the competitive activity of volleyball players. The main ways of applying these technologies in the training process in volleyball are the psychological diagnosis of female athletes taking in to account their personal qualifications, social roles in the limited coalition of the volleyball team; targeted application in competitive micro- or mesocycles of training to increase the effectiveness of training and competitive activities in limited coalitions.
An Oceanic Tale: Trauma, Technology and Cultural Resistance in Richard Powers’s Playground
(University of Pardubice, 2025) Bezrukov, Andrii V.; Bohovyk, Oksana A.
ENG: The article appears to be one of the first academic treatments of Richard Powers’s Playground (2024) to delve into the intertwining narratives of humanity and nature within the Anthropocene epoch. Powers examines the ethical, emotional, and existential dilemmas posed by climate change and technological advancement through his characters and their engagement with an aquatic ecosystem. We explore how the author addresses the issues of environmental (ocean) pollution, AI, childhood trauma, (de)humanization, and cultural resistance to reflect the complexities of the human condition represented in Anthropocene fiction. Within the interdisciplinary realm, we bring together various perspectives from the (environmental) humanities and ecocultural studies, emphasizing the crucial significance of discussing current crises through culture. An ecocritical reading of Playground reveals how Powers critiques anthropocentrism and illustrates the consequences of ecological neglect, ultimately advocating for a more harmonious coexistence with the natural world. Powers’s captivating story of personal tragedies, environmental issues, anxieties of the Anthropocene, cultural myths, and the critique of overreliance on technology prompts readers to reflect on their roles within the global ecosystem, the importance of environmental stewardship, and the urgency of addressing climate change, while fostering a sustainable future.
Pedagogical and Psychological Care for Bilingual People Vidan on the Book Market Transfer
(Scientific Center of Innovative Researches OÜ (Tallinn, Estonia), 2025) Sheviakov, Oleksii; Sheviakova, Мaria
ENG: The article examines the essence and importance of providing bilingual publications on the book translation market, revealing the social nature of the formation of mental and pedagogical qualities of an individual. The main objective of the study is to analyze the trends of multiculturalism as a counterbalance to the process of cultural diffusion. The study highlights the elements of psychological and pedagogical technology, which should be based on a cultural and historical basis and, in turn, provide support for the formation of a general concept of education in society. The psychological features of understanding the patterns of development of pedagogy and the formation of a methodological base for psychological and pedagogical science in the modern socio-cultural space are presented. According to the concept of bilingualism, cultural development involves a process in which biological characteristics (the ability to remember and think) are transformed into social ones, and social ones into psychological ones, modifying the mechanisms of cognitive processes of manifestation and development of memory and thinking. The authors substantiate that with such development, reflex mechanisms recede into the background, and socio-cultural ones become a priority. The sources characterizing social relations and social interaction that can become an internal higher mental function are analyzed. In the act of experiencing, their dramatic collision melts and leads to a change in the structure of the personality, becoming an act of development. The theme of social relations that form patterns and models of behavior is actualized. The emphasis is placed on the fact that social relations are not always reduced to collective ones; sociality can serve as a source of personal experience. The concept of bilingualism is considered, where consciousness manipulates symbols and concepts. Thus, the concept of bilingualism as an example of cultural relativism can be contrasted with modern processes of cultural diffusion.
Pipe Production Cost Management Model Based on Graph Theory
(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Toporkova, Olena A.; Lozovska, Lyudmila I.; Savchuk, Larysa M.; Monia, Andrii G.; Bandorina, Liliia M.
ENG: The pipe production process is a complex dynamical system with a significant number of production operations and interconnected cost localization centres. Purpose. To develop a mathematical model of the process of handling analytical information of a pipe enterprise using graph theory for the needs of cost management at each production stage. Methodology. Technological flow charts of the production job, where the list of mandatory activities and routing of the operating process are indicated, were used to organize cost accounting by operational centres of their localization with the help of computer modelling elements, namely the graph theory. The work used a complex of research methods, including analysis and scientific synthesis of scientific and technical information; theoretical studies; methods of mathematical and computer modelling, engineering developments. Findings. The cost accounting process is represented by a directed hypergraph. Each production operation is associated with a graph vertex. Each vertex is assigned to a series of interrelated marks: type of technological operation; weight factor; the value of direct costs for the operation; the value of indirect costs for the operation; the expense factor. The initial state of the hypergraph is specified by means of its initial marking, which corresponds to the set cipher of the batch of pipes and its weight. Further execution of the marked hypergraph is performed by running the allowed vertices. Marking of the graph ends if all the information from the technological flow charts of pipe products has been used. Originality. A model of cost management by operational centres is proposed which will allow dividing the prime cost of pipes which differ according to the production technology. It is recommended to rank pipe products within each technologically similar group for an economically feasible allocation of costs between batches of pipes. The proposed process model of processing analytical information of the pipe enterprise using graph theory will allow providing data governance as for the prime cost of each individual batch of pipe products, will contribute to the improvement in the order generation procedure taking into account the acquired information, and will allow making the appropriate adjustments when making management decisions. Practical value. Calculation of expenses for production operations allows one to identify the most cost-intensive of them. Relying on the results of the calculation, the enterprise management has the opportunity to manage costs at any stage of the production process. Moreover, the model allows determining the amount of consumed metal for each production operation, which is relevant for pipe enterprises. It is appropriate to focus further scientific developments in this direction on the possibility of managing non-manufacturing cost with the help of mathematical models in economics to optimize the supply and sales activities of the enterprise.
Population’s Radiation Anxiety Structure Analysis for the Pre-COVID-19 Period
(Державна наукова установа «Науково-практичний центр профілактичної та клінічної медицини» Державного управління справами, Київ,Україна, 2024) Dorohań, Sehrii B.; Shevchenko, Oleksandr A.; Lekhan, Valeria M.; Sheviakov, Oleksii; Operchuk, Nadia I.; Mikryukova, Natalya G.; Cherednichenko, Oleksii
ENG: Introduction. A considerable amount of conflicting reports creates conditions for concern about the effects of radiation on health. The adequacy of the assessment of problems and responses to these challenges depends on the sources used by a person, his culture and education level, as well as the emotional overtone of this assessment. The aim of the study is to determine dynamic changes in the prevalence and structure of population’s radiation anxiety states under stable social conditions based on a psychological and hygienic assessment. Materials and methods: In order to research and assess the perception of Kropyvnytskyi residents about the degree and prevalence of radiation anxiety states, a survey was conducted on Facebook and Instagram social networks from February to December 2019 using Google Form. For assessment of dynamic changes in radiation anxiety, data from our own studies in 2014 were used [9]. The questionnaire methodology was based on the principles of the previously tested and patented «Methodology for determining radiation anxiety among the population» and the monograph «Radiation anxiety among the population». Three hundred and twenty four residents of Kropyvnytskyi aged 18 to 73 were included in the study, 155 (47.8 %) men and 169 (52.2 %) women. The average age of the interviewees (Me (LQ; HQ)) was 27 (20; 33) years old. Results. A specific psycho-emotional state is developed and maintained at some level in the residents of cities with nuclear power plants – radiation anxiety, which is manifested by a complex of neuropsychological and somato- physiological disorders against the fear of ionizing radiation sources background. At the same time, such a psychogenic effect may not be related to the degree of actual effects of ionizing radiation on human health. It was determined that in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s full armed aggression against Ukraine, more than 90 % of the surveyed residents of Kropyvnytskyi, regardless of gender and age, were concerned about potential radiation pollution of the environment and foodstuffs, medium level of radiation anxiety was in 34,9 %, and high level in 14.8 %. Low radiation anxiety was detected in 41.4 % of respondents, and in 8.9 % it was absent. Conclusions. Over 5 years (from 2014 to 2019), there were noticeable negative changes in the structure of the radiation anxiety states among the surveyed urban residents, namely: the amount of people without signs of radiation anxiety halved (8.9 % vs. 16.0 %) and respondents with the high level of this psycho-emotional state increased almost four times (14.8 % versus 3.9 %). The obtained results encourage the authors to future studies of specific radiation anxiety states among the population to clarify their dynamics.
Preventing Aggressive Interstate Conflicts – Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Terms of Ensuring Objective Personnel Evaluation and Making Objective, Humane Managerial Decisions
(Український державний хіміко-технологічний університет, Дніпро, 2024) Andrushkiv, B. M.; Golovkova, Liudmyla S.; Kyrych, N. B.; Pohajdak, O. B.; Hannouf, Kateryna
ENG: The relevance of the research lies in identifying shortcomings in the field of management of interstate relations and determining the factors that trigger aggressive manifestationswithin them. Based on the analysis of literary sources and existing experience, the causes of their occurrence have been determined, and ways and means of prevention have been proposed, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The article shows that in the context of the Ukrainian military economy, one of the main factors of efficiency of defence work, production and social development is the managerial tools and high-quality personnel which currently being formed in the sectoral and territorial areas, as well as humanism and scientific validity of managerial decisions in the field of interstate partnership relations. It has been established that in these circumstances, AI is not always used effectively, in particular in preventing the emergence of such negative phenomena as corruption and bribery, incompetence and irresponsibility, which are factors of ineffective management and implementation of the state defence policy. Meanwhile, addressing this issue is an urgent need of Ukrainian society and the most important prerequisite for strengthening the state, enhancing its defense positions in the context of preparation for membership in EU and NATO. The authors propose a paradigm of forming an AI-based anti-cataclysmic toolkit for preventing aggressive interstate conflicts initiated by “worthless” leaders. It is proposed to increase the effectiveness of these measures through managerial, state innovation and management mechanisms. The authors argues that the introduction of AI can ensure not only the purity and high quality of managerial personnel, but also use the means for humanitarian selection of applicant members, for example, to the UN, strengthening administrative discipline and organising control over the implementation of decisions in this structure. By improving the management of these factors at the local level, it is possible to ensure not only the appropriate quality of managerial decisions and prevention of abuse, but also peace in society and stable functioning of national economies, which can make them competitive in the EU.

ENG: Purpose: the article deals with the disclosure of the problem of state management of sports development in terms of its legislative support, which should facilitate the development of sports in the "European model", namely the involvement of local authorities, to eliminate it further in the formation of a modern system of training athletes in Ukraine. Material: a set of theoretical research methods were used: generalization of literature, materials from the Internet, content of previous own scientific developments, as well as abstraction, idealization, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. Results: The article presents the results of the study of the quality and features of the legislative acts that regulate the development of sports in Ukraine. It is proved that the problem in domestic sport is that the adopted legislative and regulatory acts in Ukraine are not those that effectively contribute to the development of the sphere according to the "European model". After all, part of their content is marked by declarative nature, the absence of clearly established standards and effective forms of control, the weak use of decentralization processes. It is the decentralization of power by its potential that creates powerful organizational and financial prerequisites for reforming the physical education and sports sector in the "European model". And this, in the case of a higher level of public administration, can ensure a new, modern quality of the sport. This model, while providing competent governance, combines the resources and capabilities of the state, including the funds of the specialized government, ministries and agencies involved in physical education and sports, as well as local authorities and non-governmental organizations (national sports federations, federations, existing in provinces and cities, sports clubs) and more. Conclusions: The current state and level of public administration of sport is critical and hinders positive change in this social sphere. The negative will obviously affect the activities of the newly created Ministry Youth and Sports of Ukraine. This Ministry, paying attention to Sport for All, will need to start almost from scratch in the sport of excellence, that is, to create the legal, organizational and financial preconditions for the qualitative improvement of the state of the entire field of sport.
