Authors: Nussupbekov B.R. , Dyusenbayeva M.S.
Published: October 2023

The article considers the regularities, parameters of technology and installations for electrohydroimpulse extraction of fat from bone mass. To date, the growth of production and increasing its efficiency in industriesprocessing agricultural raw materials largely depends not only on raw materials and their quality, but also on the completeness of extraction of valuable components. Reducing the loss of the extracted product in production, for example, sugar, starch, fat, can significantly increase the yield of finished products when using optimal extraction methods and methods. The result is powerful hydraulic shocks with pressure pulses sufficient to break the bonds, retain fat cells in the tissue and destroy the cells themselves. This article discusses the technology of extracting fat from bones. The priority direction of technical policy in the agroindustrial complex, as well as in the light and food industries, is currently the development of a system of operational and promising measures to provide agricultural producers with high-quality, environmentally friendly, safe and highly reliable equipment. The dominant and extremely unfavorable production conditions force the manufacturer not to process, but to sell raw materials.

The process of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) allows to obtain multifunctional coatings with unique properties, including wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, electrical insulating and decorative. Therefore, the field of application of these coatings is quite wide: medicine, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, instrumentation, automotive and other industries. The technology is based on the phenomenon of micro-arc discharges promoting the formation of oxide layers on metal surfaces. In this review the technologies of obtaining coatings by plasma electrolytic oxidation on titanium are considered. The experiment on PEO of VT1-0 titanium substrate under anodic treatment with the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles to the electrolyte was carried out. Dense, uniform oxide coatings that do not require additional surface grinding were obtained. The coating thickness values were 18.5-62.4 μm. The influence of PEO on the microhardness of calcium-phosphate coatings formed as a result of this treatment was studied. With a satisfactory thickness of the formed layer (62.4 μm), the surface microhardness value (4.04 GPa) was found to be the highest among all the treatment modes compared, simultaneously with a high elastic modulus value (348 GPa) and a small value of the indenter penetration depth on the coating (968.99 nm). These coatings were formed in an electrolyte containing calcium phosphate with the addition of 0.75g of titanium oxide nanoparticles. The increase of microhardness in comparison with the sample without coating is in 2,5 times. As a result of the carried out researches optimum modes and parameters of calcium-phosphate coatings receiving have been established and defined. It is shown that by changing the composition of the electrolyte of the micro-arc treatment process it is possible to influence significantly the structure, thickness and surface properties of the obtained coatings.

Authors: Vishnikina Liubov , Hlukhota Vitalii
Published: October 2023

Formation of intercultural competence in the modern world and contemporary conditions is a relevant scientific and pedagogical issue. The manifestation of modern integration processes leads to a change in perspectives on the necessity of tolerant relations among representatives of different cultures, religions, and viewpoints. Currently, within the context of international development, there is cultural exchange at personal, national, and international levels. Therefore, education has seen the emergence of a need for a culture of communication and cultural dialogue between different countries and their citizens. Considering multiculturalism and multi-ethnicity becomes a pedagogical priority for global civilization and nations. Adhering to it is an essential condition for democratizing civil society. The features of forming intercultural competence largely extend beyond pedagogy and depend on the influence of social and political institutions, but higher education institutions are the very establishments that can help shape a new multicultural, democratic, and civic society.The problem of forming intercultural competence is particularly pertinent for future geography teachers. Precisely, the prospective geography teacher should become a multicultural individual who will shape a tolerant, multicultural, conscious, and civic society in our nation. The article delves into the specifics of forming intercultural competence in higher education institutions, using the example of analyzing educational programs for the specialization “Secondary Education. Geography”. An analysis of scientific literature is conducted to systematize information about the particularities of cultivating multiculturalism in future educators. Researchersʼ viewpoints regarding the implementation specifics of intercultural competence in the educational process are scrutinized. The educational programs of five pedagogical universities are characterized in terms of the place of intercultural competence in the preparation of future geography teachers.

Published: October 2023

The article shows the problems of researching the state of natural oak forests of the branch "Zhmerynske LH", which is in the functional structure of the regional forestry and hunting economy department of Vinnytsia region. In the research material of the article, an analytical review of the specialized enterprise's forest management database is carried out. The result of the analysis of forest management data and visual inspection within the forest areas of the Zhmerynske Forestry Branch is the determination of the taxonomic indicators of oak forest plantations of seed and vegetative origin. The preserved natural oak stands within the forest areas of the branch "Zhmerynske Forestry" grow in optimal forest and vegetation conditions. The vast majority of natural oak stands grow in fresh hornbeam forests and less in wet hornbeam forests. It has been established that natural oak forests within the forest fund of a forestry enterprise are represented by vegetative and seed plantations by origin. Analytical data show that there is a tendency to reduce the share of natural oak forests within the enterprise. It has been determined that the enterprise is dominated by oak forests of natural origin with a share of 9-10 units of oak, mostly 110 years old. The area of these plantations is the maximum and amounts to 159.3 hectares. It was found that the oak stands are characterized mainly by the 2nd class of bonita. The average stock ranges from 310-342 m3/ha. The result of the research is the establishment that in natural oak forests there is almost no sustainable natural regeneration of the main forest-forming species. Also, based on visual inspections, it was found that in the conditions of fresh pile, natural regeneration of oak is not found in the existing forest types.
Czy kryzys wiarygodności w psychologii?
Authors: Brzeziński Jerzy Marian
Published: October 2023

Wraz z opublikowaniem w prestiżowym Science głośnego w środowisku nie tylko psychologów, artykułu prezentującego wyniki – zakrojonych na dużą, międzynarodową skalę (w badaniach brało udział 125 badaczy) – replikacji badań empirycznych z obszaru psychologii (zob. Open Science Collaboration, 2015) znacząco wzrosło zainteresowanie globalnym wynikiem uzyskanym przez zespół B. Noseka. Okazało się bowiem, że o ile w 97% badań oryginalnych uzyskano wyniki istotne statystycznie (p < 0,05), o tyle w badaniach replikacyjnych było to tylko 36%. Ten wynik stał się, jak uważa autor niniejszego artykułu, podstawą nieuprawnionych uogólnień dotyczących słabości metodologicznej psychologii jako nauki empirycznej. Psychologia jest nauką empiryczną, ale ma też swoje osobliwości związane z jej przedmiotem i metodą (Orne, 1962, 1973; Rosenzweig, 1933; Rosenthal, 1966/2009). Nie jest też uprawiana w izolacji społecznej, kulturowej. Wreszcie podlega także ostrym nakazom/zakazom etycznym. Zaś psychologowie publikujący wyniki badań empirycznych, poddawanych analizom statystycznym, są ograniczani przez zwyczaje panujące w redakcjach czasopism naukowych (zresztą, nie tylko psychologicznych). Te są one zainteresowane drukowaniem wyłącznie prac przestawiających wyniki istotne statystycznie (co oznacza: „p < 0,05”!), a co prowadzi do powstawania tzw. efektu szuflady (file drawer effect, Rosenthal, 1979). Nie można też, co autor mocno podkreśla, ograniczać dyskusji tylko do spełniania, przez badania prowadzone przez psychologów, do zagadnień statystycznych (zwłaszcza problemu mocy statystycznej testu istotności – co stało się ostatnimi laty modne w badaniach psychologicznych. W tym artykule autor omawia, prezentując też własny punkt widzenia, następujące problemy: 1) osobliwości metodologiczne psychologii jako nauki empirycznej; 2) triada: istotność statystyczna (problematyczne kryterium „p < 0,05”), effect size, power of statistical test; 3) społeczno-kulturowy kontekst badań psychologicznych; 4) naruszanie reguł metodologicznych i etycznych przez badaczy-psychologów; 5) podejmowanie środków zaradczych i naprawczych.

Metanauka poznawcza: nowe podejście do badania teorii
Authors: Miłkowski Marcin
Published: October 2023

W artykule przedstawiono argumentację na rzecz większego nacisku na teoretyzowanie w badaniach naukowych w świetle trwającego kryzysu wiarygodności w psychologii. Chociaż istotną rolę odgrywają wiarygodne dowody eksperymentalne, prerejestracja, rygor metodologiczny i nowe podejścia obliczeniowe do modelowania, postęp naukowy opiera się również na właściwie funkcjonujących teoriach. Roli teoretyzowania w psychologii nie rozumiemy jednak wystarczająco, a to może prowadzić do kolejnych kryzysów. Teorie nie powinny być postrzegane jako czcze spekulacje czy proste uogólnienia indukcyjne.
W tym kontekście autor wprowadza podejście zwane „metanauką poznawczą”, mające badać czynności i wytwory oceny praktyki naukowej. Badanie to ma przebiegać zarówno jakościowo, jak i ilościowo, poprzez analizę dyskursu naukowego z wykorzystaniem technik przetwarzania języka.
Teorie analizowane są jako artefakty poznawcze wspierające procesy poznania w nauce. Ta perspektywa ujawnia odmienne role różnych teorii, a badanie tych ról, wraz z ich epistemicznymi zaletami i wadami, pozwala uchwycić normy teoretyzowania. Autor wzywa do zmiany kultury badawczej, by odpowiednio uwzględniano różnorodne zastosowania odmiennych typów teorii i systematycznie wspierano postęp naukowy.
La figura dello straniero nella Bibbia Ebraica: fenomenologia e teologia
Authors: Bovati Pietro
Published: October 2023

The introduction of the article presents some methodological clarifications that aim to achieve a proper thematic treatment of the foreigner in the Bible. It (a) states the need to place the study of terms that indicate the foreigner in the relevant semantic field, (b) stresses the importance to be accorded to the founding narratives, and (c) indicates the value of the term “figure” as applied specifically to the immigrant. The contribution is then divided into three sections: 1. “The Phenomenology of the Foreigner in the Bible” shows the criteria for defining the foreigner, and emphasises the specific notion of the immigrant; 2. “The Biblical Theology of the Immigrant” illustrates the precariousness of the one who requests hospitality and, at the same time, makes manifest the divine blessing for the one who welcomes him. 3. “The Biblical Norms Regarding the Immigrant” show how different precepts tend to equate the immigrant with the citizen itself.

Published: October 2023

Men and women have different habits or lifestyles, which inevitably leads to variances in other areas. As a result, gender statistics emerged. In this example, researchers seek to discover if there are discrepancies in HDI and per capita expenditure in Indonesia between men and women. To determine this, data from reliable sources is required; thus, researchers use data from the official BPS website, bps.go.id. The data comes from many tables, so the researcher will join them so that they may be studied. The data used in this scenario are HDI data by gender in 2020 and Per Capita Expenditure data by gender in 2020. Researchers employed graphical tools, such as boxplots and thematic charts, to examine whether there are differences in HDI and per capita expenditure between men and women in Indonesia. Aside from that, researchers used the two-sample t-test approach to see if there were variations in HDI and per capita expenditure between men and women. Researchers will utilize Python software to run this hypothesis test. According to the findings of the investigation, there is still gender imbalance in Indonesia in terms of HDI and per capita expenditure. As a result, it is intended that this research can be utilized as a reference in analyzing existing policies to ensure that there is no gender discrepancy in terms of HDI and per capita expenditure between men and women. It is also envisaged that this research would be beneficial to many people.

Published: October 2023

This research focuses on sentiment analysis of Wayang Climen performances in Indonesia using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. Wayang, a traditional puppet show, holds cultural significance and has persisted alongside modern entertainment options. The study collected public comments from Dalang Seno and Ki Seno Nugroho's YouTube channels, classified them into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments, and employed a translation process to align comments with program language objectives. Preprocessing steps included case folding, removing punctuation, tokenizing, stopword removal, and post-tagging. To address data class imbalances, resampling was performed using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). The Naïve Bayes algorithm was utilized for data classification, exploring various translation scenarios. Evaluation involved the confusion matrix method and metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure. Results demonstrated that the Dalang Seno train data scenario outperformed Ki Seno Nugroho's, with higher precision, recall, accuracy, and f-measure values. Additionally, the translation scenario from Indonesian to English yielded the most effective results. In conclusion, this study highlights the suitability of the Naïve Bayes algorithm for sentiment analysis in the context of Wayang Climen performances, with practical implications for understanding public sentiment in the digital age.

Imbalance-learning road crash assessment under reduced visibility settings: A proactive multicriteria decision-making system
Authors: Elamrani Abou Elassad Zouhair , Elamrani Abou Elassad Dauha , Mousannif Hajar
Published: October 2023

Road crash prediction is a fundamental key in designing efficient intelligent transportation systems. There has been a pronounced progress in the use of machine learning models for crash events assessment by the transportation safety research community in recent years. However, little attention has been paid so far to evaluating reduced-visibility crash occurrences within a heuristic ensemble system. This study presents a proactive multicriteria decision-making system that can predict crash occurrences based on real-time roadway properties, land zones’ characteristics, vehicle telemetry, driver inputs and weather conditions collected using a desktop driving simulator. A key novelty of this work is implementing a genetic algorithm-based feature selection approach along with ensemble modeling strategies using AdaBoost, XGBoost and RF techniques to establish effective crash predictions. Furthermore, since crash events occur in rare instances tending to be underrepresented in the dataset, an imbalance-learning methodology to overcome the issue was adopted on the basis of several data resampling approaches to increase the predictive performance namely SMOTE, Borderline-SMOTE, SMOTE-Tomek Links and ADASYN strategies. To our knowledge, there has been a limited interest at adopting an ensemble-based imbalance-learning strategy examining the impact of real-time features’ combinations on the prediction of road crash events under reduced visibility settings.

Twin extreme learning machine based on heteroskedastic Gaussian noise model and its application in short-term wind-speed forecasting
Authors: Zhang Shiguang , Guo Di , Zhou Ting
Published: October 2023

Extreme learning machine (ELM) has received increasingly more attention because of its high efficiency and ease of implementation. However, the existing ELM algorithms generally suffer from the drawbacks of noise sensitivity and poor robustness. Therefore, we combine the advantages of twin hyperplanes with the fast speed of ELM, and then introduce the characteristics of heteroscedastic Gaussian noise. In this paper, a new regressor is proposed, which is called twin extreme learning machine based on heteroskedastic Gaussian noise (TELM-HGN). In addition, the augmented Lagrange multiplier method is introduced to optimize and solve the presented model. Finally, a significant number of experiments were conducted on different data-sets including real wind-speed data, Boston housing price dataset and stock dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms not only inherits most of the merits of the original ELM, but also has more stable and reliable generalization performance and more accurate prediction results. These applications demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model.

Published: October 2023

The processing method of fuzzy information is a critical element in multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM). The hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy set (HPFS) has a higher capacity in express the uncertainty of human inherent preference. A composite weighted mathematical programming model with prospect theory and best-worst method (BWM) is proposed to solve the uncertainty of criterion weight acquisition and decision-makers (DMs) psychological behavior under the HPF environment. The decision-making process is as follows: Firstly, a novel spatial distance measurement method is designed which considers the extension space of HPFSs space by five parameters under the HPF environment. Secondly, the optimal criteria weights model minimizes the total distance between the alternatives and the HPF positive ideal solution (HPFPIS), as well as minimizes the consistency ratio of BWM. Thirdly, we propose the prospect decision matrix by the prospect theory and optimal weights, then use the ordered weighted average operator under the normal distribution to calculate the weight of DMs and rank the decision alternatives. Finally, an example is illustrated here, sensitivity and reliability, and comparative analysis are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The paper examines the main advantages and disadvantages of modern methods for recycling of polymers and polymer composites based on them, which to a certain extent allow preventing environmental pollution by products made of them at the end of their life cycle and after failure. The most progressive and efficient method of polymer waste recycling has been determined, that consists in using biodegradable materials as a polymer base, the products made of them being decomposed into environmentally safe compounds. Polylactide as one of the most widespread biodegradable polymers was considered as a very promising material. It was processed into a product by using 3D printing. The optimal processing temperature (2100C) was determined, at which the maximum level of physical-mechanical properties of polylactide products is observed. We studied the effect of the degree of products infilling, which were obtained on a 3D printer, on their main strength characteristics. The mathematical dependences describing this effect were derived.
The writer Son Khanh in the literary field of Southern Vietnam from 1945 to 1950
Authors:   University of Social Sciences & Humanities, VNU-HCM, Vietnam, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy
Published: October 2023

Son Khanh is often mentioned in studies about Southern Vietnamese fighting literature from 1945 to 1950, but his literary career has been rarely studied separately due to his short years of writing and the shadow of his political career. However, his works still formed a literary style, not outstanding but no so shaded either, among many writers of the patriotic writing movement that first and foremost served the ideals of liberating the country from the French colony and reuniting Vietnam. Moreover, the position of Son Khanh in the literary circle back then can be analyzed from factors other than those from literature. Geo-cultural characteristics of Southern Vietnam and political incidents that happened there from 1945 to 1950 created an extremely outward literature. Applied the theory of “field” proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, this article analyzes how poticial, economic, aesthetic powers affected Son Khanh’s choices in writing and how he utilized his political, economic, asthetic capitals to build up his literary prestige and to move up in the literary field in Southern Vietnam from 1945 to 1950.

Authors:   University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU-HCM, Tran Ky Dong
Published: October 2023

The mobilization of religious resources in community building and development in Vietnam today is just the mobilization of money and human strength, without resource accumulation. This is not rationality. The ousiological religion rethinking is necessary. In light of ousiology, we get a view of the identity and way of religion existence in each dimension: Social Consciousness, Social Facts, Religious Facts, Culture Facts, and Social Capital. This view integrates the general knowledge of religion to determine: The social capital of religion is an ensemble of ousiological attributes of religion that makes with the being of man. The Man Being is the resource of religion. In light of ousiology, we can forecast the dangers and threats of the Age, which are challenging the existence of religions, and provide the contents for the restructuring a religious worldview, religious rituals and activities, and ways to preserve religious and moral values, etc., as an adaptation for religion to exist. In light of ousiology, we understand that it is inevitable for the social capital of religion to participate in the capital flow of the market economy. New challenges are emerging and the total mobilization of society to overcome these challenges is necessary for the authentic existence of religion.
Utilisation of the CDIO framework on specialised subjects with EMI-based design at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication
Authors:   University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU-HCM, Bach Cat Hoai Lam
Published: October 2023

In the world in general and in Vietnam in particular, English as Medium of Instruction (EMI) for students not majoring in foreign languages has attracted much attention due to the trend of international integration. However, this implementation is still facing certain language barriers, so the efficiency of lecture delivery is not as expected. Thus, to purge such limitations and enhance students’ performance in EMI-based classes, the article suggests the CDIO framework and its application in curricular activities as a prominent approach. The comparative method was used to study the case of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City, specifically in the two EMI-based subjects, namely English for Journalism (2017 program) and English for Journalism 1 (2022 program applying the CDIO framework). The research results show that the application of the CDIO framework in the EMI-based subject teaching process has a significant impact on students' knowledge acquisition, in which the professional qualifications and foreign language ability of lecturers are optimized. At the same time, teaching methods, class organization, and assessment also have a positive impact on the acquisition process.

Melanoma is deadly kind of skin cancer as it gets metastasized soon. It is really essential to recognize melanoma and start treatment at early stage. It is also necessary to determine the stage of melanoma in order to treat melanoma patients. Non-invasive technique is required to detect the stage of melanoma. Proposed system presents novel technique to classify the stages of melanoma based on thickness of tumor. This system uses dimensionality reduction technique to reduce the number of features and it also uses combine approach of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) algorithm which include multilayer perception (MLP) and random forest (RF). Deep learning method is always better for training as they can reduce the need for data preprocessing and feature engineering and can provide simple trainable models built using only five or six different operations. Secondly, they are scalable, as they can be easily parallelized on GPUs or TPUs and can be trained by iterating over small batches of data. Thirdly they are reusable, so they can be trained on additional data without starting from scratch, making them viable for continuous online learning. For classification task machine learning algorithm that is, random forest is used as it decreases over fitting in decision trees and aids to increase the accuracy. Total of three algorithms were used, MLP, RF and proposed algorithm combined multilayer perception and random forest that is, MLP-RF. Among these models, the MLP-RF showed the best results in predicting melanoma stages with the accuracy of 97.42%.

Authors: Gonzalez George
Published: October 2023

Brazil and Canada are among the 25 or so countries with a federal form of government, and two of only a few countries that grant taxation powers to their subnational governments. In addition to federalism, two other key similarities between Brazil and Canada are the size of their gross domestic product and their geographical scale. This article compares the countries' tax structures and describes Brazil's subnational taxation system, including its state and municipal subnational taxes.
Estudio sobre los derechos humanos y sus reflejos en la posmodernidad
Authors: Visconti Carlos Gustavo
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar algunas consideraciones sobre los derechos humanos, reforzando la idea de un sistema compuesto por dimensiones de derechos y con cambios en la definición de lo humano a medida que evoluciona el pensamiento histórico de la humanidad. Lo que vemos es la construcción de derechos, recordando que no se hace referencia a límites temporales para los diversos logros de la humanidad, ya que lo que tenemos es una construcción histórica y existe un proceso de continuidad entre las clases de estos derechos fundamentales. También es importante destacar el análisis de los derechos humanos y el cambio en el concepto de ser humano a medida que evoluciona el pensamiento. En esta sociedad de consumo y en la posmodernidad, ¿existe aún la misma razón y definición de ese hombre que Kant aún veía?

This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of educational tourism based on the analysis of international academic mobility. International academic mobility is considered as a component of the development of the scientific and educational industry, which also has a significant impact on the general socio-economic progress. International educational tourism is one of the manifestations of academic mobility. In the process of research, the main trends in the development of educational tourism in the context of the internationalization of education were determined. This article also analyzes different approaches to the definition of educational tourism and examines the essence of this phenomenon. Educational tourism is defined as trips with an educational purpose lasting from overnight stay to one year, which may be accompanied by recreational activities. A classification of educational tourism by objectives, age of travelers, and stages of their career development is proposed. Educational tourism is considered as a complex, interdisciplinary phenomenon, which is demonstrated with the help of the graphic model "MET: Mobility, Education, Tourism". The proposed approach to the classification of types of educational mobility according to the objectives and duration of stay in the host country made it possible to distinguish between day visits, tourism, other types of educational mobility, temporary educational migration, and migration. The prerequisites and factors of the development of educational tourism are also analyzed, and the main principles of stimulating its development are highlighted, in particular, the application of the concept of the lifetime value of the client, i.e., taking into account the value of each visitor in the long term.

Enterprises operate in a dynamic environment, which is accompanied by the influence of various factors on the enterprise. Many of them pose a threat to the financial and economic condition of the enterprise and its ability to carry out production and economic activities. Also, the influence of external factors is often sudden and unpredictable, which requires immediate actions in the enterprise management system. Enterprises operate in a dynamic environment, which is accompanied by the influence of various factors on the enterprise. Many of them pose a threat to the financial and economic condition of the enterprise and its ability to carry out production and economic activities. Also, the influence of external factors is often sudden and unpredictable, which requires immediate actions in the enterprise management system. The article discusses the features of using simulation modeling for the analysis of financial assets. A simulation model is a dynamic model in which all processes are considered over time. Indicators of the efficiency of the use of financial assets have been calculated and principle schemes of models for enterprises in the service sector and agriculture have been built. The food industry is one of the most important and promising for the further development of industries in Ukraine, the effective activity of which can not only significantly increase the country's budget, but also create internal food security and ensure social aspects. Analysis of the service sector in Ukraine is gaining more and more relevance and occupies a key place in the economy of Ukraine. In recent years, the share of retail trade has almost doubled, and the volume of non-cash payments has exceeded 36% of all retail trade volumes in Ukraine. The degree of influence of internal and external factors on the company's financial assets is analyzed. The procedure of simulation modeling is considered using a mathematical model of two performance indicators – the turnover ratio of financial assets and the ratio of quick liquidity. The practical application of simulation modeling made it possible to visually display the main elements of the cycle of production and sale of products, taking into account the main factors of influence on the studied performance indicators.

The socio-economic development of any country consists of the positive development of the main economic sectors, where the agricultural sector plays a special role. The processes of development of globalization of modern times emphasize the requirements for the development of logistics and technologies with the help of which all participants in the logistics chain are served. And technological development constantly requires all market participants to make maximum use of the achievements of modernity, which is represented by the use of ecological technologies in logistics processes. The article is devoted to a detailed review and study of positive examples and difficulties regarding the use of environmental technologies in the agro-logistics sector in countries such as the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Germany. Agrilogistics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field in the agricultural sector, including the management of supply chains of agricultural products and raw materials from production to delivery to the consumer, combining agricultural production, marketing, management and logistics. Agrologistics is associated with the application of logistic methods and regulations in the field of agricultural production, aimed at minimizing labor costs, resources, transport costs, by optimizing transportation routes, and as a result, reducing the cost of agricultural products. The article examines in detail the program "Vision of agrologistics" according to the platform "Agrologistics Platform" of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the main regulatory documents that were adopted at the legislative level for the support and development of agrarian logistics of Ukraine are given, and conclusions are drawn.
