A Principle-based Analysis of Abstract Agent Argumentation Semantics
Authors: Yu Liuwen , Chen Dongheng , Qiao Lisha , Shen Yiqi , van der Torre Leendert
Published: October 2021

Abstract agent argumentation frameworks extend Dung’s theory with agents, and in this paper we study four types of semantics for them. First, agent defense semantics replaces Dung’s notion of defense by some kind of agent defense. Second, social agent semantics prefers arguments that belong to more agents. Third, agent reduction semantics considers the perspective of individual agents. Fourth, agent filtering semantics are inspired by a lack of knowledge. We study five existing principles and we introduce twelve new ones. In total, we provide a full analysis of fifty-two agent semantics and the seventeen principles.
Universal and Uniform Action Reversibility
Authors: Chrpa Lukáš , Faber Wolfgang , Morak Michael
Published: October 2021

The problem of action reversibility studies whether effects of a given action can be reversed (or undone) by a sequence of (other) actions. For example, actions whose effects can be reversed cannot lead to dead-ends. In the usual settings, the problem of action reversibility is PSPACE-complete, that is, as hard as deciding plan existence.

In this paper, we focus on subclasses of the action reversibility problem, universal and uniform action reversibility, where the former considers all states in which the action in question is applicable, while the latter requires a single reverting action sequence, independent of the considered states. Specifically, we study the relations between projection abstractions and the subclasses of the action reversibility problem and we show that universal uniform reversibility of a given action can be decided on projection consisting of only the variables present in the schema of the action in question.
Introducing k-lingo: a k-depth Bounded Version of ASP System Clingo
Authors: D'Asaro Fabio Aurelio , Baldi Paolo , Primiero Giuseppe
Published: October 2021

Depth-Bounded Boolean Logics (DBBL for short) are well-understood frameworks to model rational agents equipped with limited deductive capabilities. These Logics use a parameter k>=0 to limit the amount of virtual information, i.e., the information that the agent may temporarily assume throughout the deductive process. This restriction brings several advantageous properties over classical Propositional Logic, including polynomial decision procedures for deducibility and refutability. Inspired by DBBL, we propose a limited-depth version of the popular ASP system \clingo, tentatively dubbed k-lingo after the bound k on virtual information. We illustrate the connection between DBBL and ASP through examples involving both proof-theoretical and implementative aspects. The paper concludes with some comments on future work, which include a computational complexity characterization of the system, applications to multi-agent systems and feasible approximations of probability functions.
On the Epistemic Logic of Incomplete Argumentation Frameworks
Authors: Herzig Andreas , Yuste-Ginel Antonio
Published: October 2021

We study the relation between two existing formalisms: incomplete argumentation frameworks (IAFs) and epistemic logic of visibility (ELV). We show that the set of completions of a given IAF naturally corresponds to a specific equivalence class of possible worlds within the model of visibility. This connection is further strengthened in two directions. First, we show how to reduce argument acceptance problems of IAFs to ELV model-checking problems. Second, we highlight the epistemic assumptions that underlie IAFs by providing a minimal epistemic logic for IAFs.
On Free Description Logics with Definite Descriptions
Authors: Artale Alessandro , Mazzullo Andrea , Ozaki Ana , Wolter Frank
Published: October 2021

Definite descriptions are phrases of the form ‘the x such that φ’, used to refer to single entities in a context. They are often more meaningful to users than individual names alone, in particular when modelling or querying data over ontologies. We investigate free description logics with both individual names and definite descriptions as terms of the language, while also accounting for their possible lack of denotation. We focus on the extensions of ALC and, respectively, EL with nominals, the universal role, and definite descriptions. We show that standard reasoning in these extensions is not harder than in the original languages, and we characterise the expressive power of concepts relative to first-order formulas using a suitable notion of bisimulation. Moreover, we lay the foundations for automated support for definite descriptions generation by studying the complexity of deciding the existence of definite descriptions for an individual under an ontology. Finally, we provide a polynomial-time reduction of reasoning in other free description logic languages based on dual-domain semantics to the case of partial interpretations.
Sticky Existential Rules and Disjunction are Incompatible
Authors: Morak Michael
Published: October 2021

Stickiness is one of the well-known properties in the literature that guarantees decidability of query answering under sets of existential rules, that is, Datalog rules extended with existential quantification in rule heads. In this note, we investigate whether this remains true in the case when rule heads are allowed to be disjunctive. We answer this question in the negative, providing a strong undecidability result that shows that the concept of stickiness cannot be extended to disjunctive existential rules, even when considering only fixed atomic queries and a fixed set of rules. This provides evidence that, in order to keep query answering decidable, a stronger property than stickiness is needed in the disjunctive case.
On the Maximal Number of Complete Extensions in Abstract Argumentation Frameworks
Authors: Ulbricht Markus
Published: October 2021

Abstract argumentation frameworks are by now a major research area in knowledge representation and reasoning.

Various aspects of AFs have been extensively studied over the last 25 years.

Contributing to understanding the expressive power of AFs, researchers found lower and upper bounds for the maximal number of extensions, that is, acceptable points of view, in AFs.

One of the classical and most important concepts in AFs are so-called complete extensions.

Surprisingly, the exact bound for the maximal number of complete extensions in an AF has not yet been formally established, although there is a reasonable conjecture tracing back at least to 2015.

Recently the notion of modularization was introduced and it was shown that this concept plays a key role for the understanding of relations between semantics as well as intrinsic properties.

In this paper, we will use this property to give a formal proof of the conjecture regarding complete semantics.
PATCHCOMM: Using Commonsense Knowledge to Guide Syntactic Parsers
Authors: Xin Yida , Lieberman Henry , Chin Peter
Published: October 2021

Syntactic parsing technologies have become significantly more robust thanks to advancements in their underlying statistical and Deep Neural Network (DNN) techniques: most modern syntactic parsers can produce a syntactic parse tree for almost any sentence, including ones that may not be strictly grammatical. Despite improved robustness, such parsers still do not reflect the alternatives in parsing that are intrinsic in syntactic ambiguities. Two most notable such ambiguities are prepositional phrase (PP) attachment ambiguities and pronoun coreference ambiguities. In this paper, we discuss PatchComm, which uses commonsense knowledge to help resolve both kinds of ambiguities. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to propose the general-purpose approach of using external commonsense knowledge bases to guide syntactic parsers. We evaluated PatchComm against the state-of-the-art (SOTA) spaCy parser on a PP attachment task and against the SOTA NeuralCoref module on a coreference task. Results show that PatchComm is successful at detecting syntactic ambiguities and using commonsense knowledge to help resolve them.
On the Computational Intelligibility of Boolean Classifiers

Published: October 2021

In this paper, we investigate the computational intelligibility of Boolean classifiers,

characterized by their ability to answer XAI queries in polynomial time.

The classifiers under consideration are decision trees, DNF formulae, decision lists, decision rules, tree ensembles, and

Boolean neural nets. Using 9 XAI queries, including both explanation queries and verification queries,

we show the existence of large intelligibility gap between the families of classifiers. On the one hand, all the 9 XAI queries

are tractable for decision trees. On the other hand, none of them is tractable for DNF formulae, decision lists, random forests, boosted decision trees,

Boolean multilayer perceptrons, and binarized neural networks.

Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumsal hareketler arasında değerlendirilen çevre hareketlerinin temel özellikleri ve düşünsel açıdan geçirmiş olduğu değişimi değerlendirmektir. Belirgin ve ortak özellikleri ile diğer toplumsal hareketlerden ayrılan çevre hareketleri siyasi, iktisadi ve kültürel yapıda yaşanan değişimle birlikte dönemsel olarak gelişim göstermiştir. Bu süreçte çevre hareketleri endüstrileşmeden küreselleşmeye, modern toplumdan modern sonrası toplumsal yapıya, yerelden küresel ölçeğe kadar yaşanan toplumsal hoşnutsuzlukların yansıması olarak geniş bir repertuara sahip olmuştur. Siyasal, ekonomik ve toplumsal yapıda meydana gelen tarihsel ve mekânsal farklılaşmanın çevre hareketlerinde meydana getirdiği etkiler ve gelecekteki durumu ayrı bir çalışma ile değerlendirilmelidir. Çevre hareketleri ve temel özellikleri hakkında evrensel ilkeler belirlemek ve genelleme yapmak zor olsa da çalışmada çevre harekelerinin geçirmiş olduğu dönemsel farklılaşma sadece benimsenen değerler, örgütsel yapı, ilkeler ve eylem biçimleri bakımından ele alınmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda çevre hareketlerinin dönemsel olarak farklılaştığı, ulusal sınırlar dışına taşarak küresel ölçekte etkin olabilme özelliği gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bilim, teknoloji ve iletişim tekniklerinde yaşanan gelişmeler sayesinde yerel ve münferit özellik gösteren çevre hareketleri, küresel enformasyon ağ ile eklemlenebilme, destek alma ve geniş kitlelere hitap edebilme imkânı yakalamıştır.

Objetivo: Revisar e fornecer uma ampla abordagem sobre a obesidade infantil. Revisão bibliográfica: A obesidade na infância é considerada um problema grave de saúde pública mundial atualmente. O ganho de peso na faixa etária pediátrica está relacionado principalmente à ausência de aleitamento materno adequado, hábitos alimentares incorretos, com alimentação rica em açucares e gorduras e redução da prática de atividades físicas. A presença da obesidade predispõe a criança ao desenvolvimento de diversas doenças na vida adulta, como diabetes, dislipidemia e elevação da pressão arterial sistêmica. O diagnóstico é simples e deve ser realizado preferencialmente por um pediatra. A partir do momento em que for constato um aumento patológico do ganho de peso é necessário que o médico oriente os pais quanto aos riscos e a importância de uma alimentação balanceada e prática regular de exercícios físicos. Considerações finais: A obesidade deve ser tratada com objetivo de reduzir a morbimortalidade infantil e também na vida adulta. Portanto, a orientação profissional e promoção de políticas para a prevenção e tratamento dessa doença são de fundamentais importâncias no combate à obesidade infantil.
Ventral cervico-thoracic meningeal cyst resulting in myelopathy: Case report and literature review
Authors: Huang Shiwei , Freeman David , Galicich Walter , Bergman Thomas
Published: October 2021

Background:

Spinal meningeal (dural) cysts rarely cause spinal cord compression and/or myelopathy.

Case Description:

A 38-year-old male presented with 6 weeks of worsening bilateral lower extremity paresthesias and an unsteady gait. Notably, the patient was involved in a snowmobile accident 7 years ago that resulted in trauma to his thoracic spine for which he had undergone a corpectomy and posterior fusion. A full spine MRI was obtained to evaluate his new paresthesias and myelopathy, which revealed a large extra-axial fluid collection consistent with a meningeal cyst extending from C2 to T4. This caused severe spinal cord compression, maximal at the T1-3 level. The patient underwent a T1-3 laminectomy initially accompanied by partial cyst resection/ drainage, but ultimately he returned and required a subsequent cystoperitoneal shunt. Following the final surgery, the patient’s symptoms gradually resolved over 6 months postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Spinal meningeal cysts rarely cause back pain and/or neurological symptoms. MRI is the diagnostic study of choice for defining this entity. Operative intervention must be tailored to the symptoms, location, extent, and type of the cyst. If cysts recur after partial resection and drainage, cystoperitoneal shunt placement is warranted.
City’s Cultural Memory: Modern Practices of Symbolizing the Past
Authors: Fedotova Natalia G.
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to the discourse of the city’s cultural memory. The relevance of studying this topic is determined not only by the fundamental aspect associated with the episodicity of existing studies of this phenomenon. From an applied point of view, the city’s cultural memory is a symbolic resource that can be used to create an appealing image, form a sustainable urban identity, and strengthen the citizen’s sense of belonging to the city. The accumulation and objectification of cultural memory take place in symbolic forms, which makes it important to study the practices of symbolizing the urban past, the essence of which is to generate the significance of the relevant or latent layers of cultural memory for the citizens.

The article presents the results of the final stage of research related to the study of the process of constructing the cultural memory of the city. The purpose of the article is to analyze modern practices of symbolizing fragments of the urban past, which mean their significance for contemporaries. Basing on the culturological cross-section of the issue, the author integrates different research contexts. The methodological basis of the article is the communicative approach that focuses on the processes of meaning formation, and the constructivist method that considers memory as a multi-layered and dynamic construct. Analyzing the practices of symbolizing the urban past by the example of Russian cities, the author of the article demonstrates how the episodes of the city’s memory are updated in the modern world, how cultural meanings become memorable for citizens. The author uses the results of previous studies and identifies the following elements of the symbolization of the urban past: a) ways of encoding fragments of the past; b) communicative trajectories of memory symbolization; c) factors of producing meanings about the collective past of the city. The obtained results open up new frontiers in understanding the processes of formation of the collective ideas about the city, and prospects for empirical research, forecasting and constructing the cultural memory of Russian cities, giving them the opportunity to change their present and future.
Konstantin Somov’s Early Works and Impressionism: A New View on the Issue
Authors: Zavyalova Anna E.
Published: October 2021

The article reveals literary (Emile Zola’s novel “L’Œuvre”, Richard Muther’s work “History of Painting in the 19th Century”), literary and artistic (magazines “Mercure de France”, “L’Ermitage”, “La Revue Blanche”, “La Plume”) and artistic (exhibits of the French art exhibition of 1896) sources of Konstantin Somov’s acquaintance with the art of French impressionism at the beginning of his independent activity (before leaving for Paris in the late 1890s). There are also identified sources of phenomena in his work that are similar to impressionism only externally. These issues become the subject of special consideration for the first time. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it first reveals that the artist did not address to impressionism in the period before his departure to France, as it has been long believed. To study the tasks set, the article involves sources of personal origin (letters and diaries of K.A. Somov and his friend A.N. Benois), as well as A.N. Benois’s articles of the 1890s, published on the pages of the magazine “World of Art”. The author comes to the conclusion that K.A. Somov did not turn to the artistic method of the impressionists in his work at that time, since the information he had been able to get from the identified sources was of a verbal and theoretical nature. Black-and-white reproductions of impressionist paintings in literary and art magazines and in Muther’s “History of Painting in the 19th Century” had not provided sufficient information for the artist. The phenomena similar to impressionism in Somov’s works are based on the study of nature, the heritage of the old European artists, the art of the Barbizonians, J.-F. Millet, W. Turner.

The results of experimental studies of the dependence of the heat conductivity of nanocomposites based on polypropylene filled with carbon nanotubes on the level of overheating of the polymer melt relative to its melting temperature are presented. It was found that with an increase in this level, the value of the heat conductivity coefficient of composites increases. It is shown that when a certain overheating is reached, its further growth does not provide an increase in the heat conductivity of nanocomposites. On the basis of the obtained regularity, the value of the rational level of overheating was determined.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LEVEL IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Khoma Iryna , Skip Roksolana ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: October 2021

Unemployment is an economic phenomenon that is inherent in the economy of each country. The negative aspects of this phenomenon are manifested when the unemployment rate in the country exceeds the natural level, the latter is defined within 3-5%. Exceeding the allowable value causes the loss of potential GDP, which has a negative impact on all financial and economic processes, their development is slower. Since Ukraine's independence, the unemployment rate has always exceeded the norm. The article provides a detailed analysis of the financial impact of macro-level indicators on the unemployment rate in Ukraine during 2010-2021. The dynamics of the unemployment rate is analyzed, a number of factors and events that caused the growth of unemployment in specific periods are identified. The article studies in detail the dynamics of real GDP and the consumer price index, as well as their impact on the level of the studied indicator. The dynamics of the minimum wage was compared with the dynamics of the unemployment rate and their interdependence was analyzed. Since Ukraine is quite a large country and its regions differ significantly in socio- economic development, it is very important for the study to compare the average wage and unemployment in different areas. It was found that the lowest average wage over the past decade is typical for the Ternopil region, and the largest value of this indicator are industrial giants, that is Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Unemployment is also affected by the number of businesses, as they create jobs and are able to ensure the development of the economy as a whole. As a result, measures were proposed that can positively affect the level of unemployment in Ukraine, that is reduce it, and contribute to the development of the national economy in the coming periods.
STRATEGIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINANCIAL SECTOR AND FINANCIAL INDUSTRY IN UKRAINE ON AN INNOVATIVE BASIS
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, Batrak Olga
Published: October 2021

The relevance of the article is determined by the need to balance certain segments of the financial and real sectors of the economy, build their infrastructure, increase innovation through the implementation of the achievements of the financial industry. The main scientific result of the article is to define the financial sector and the financial industry, to establish causal links between them and development strategies. The financial sector is a subsystem of the financial market and is represented by its national regulator, financial and infrastructural participants, namely: corporations that accept deposits; money market funds and investment funds, pension funds, insurance corporations, captive and auxiliary financial corporations, other financial intermediaries. In contrast to the existing definitions, the proposed one is based on the classification of institutional sectors of the Ukrainian economy. The connection between the financial and real sectors is formalized as mutually complementary parts, which together make up the national economy, ensure the circulation of material and financial resources, the creation of added value. At the same time, they perform specific functions: the financial sector - distribution and transaction, the real - generating and transforming. The financial industry is a complex category that combines a set of financial institutions with their quality and technical and technological characteristics (intellectual capital, innovation, financial technology) in a creative economy. The financial sector and the financial industry reflect the dualistic nature of the functioning of financial institutions as financial service providers, on the one hand, and business process owners, on the other. Therefore, their strategies have a common premise and goal - financial stability, macroeconomic development should ensure the sustainability of public finances, the formation of long-term financial resources, lending to the economy. The common strategic goals are: financial inclusion, supported by digital and financial literacy, development of financial markets and non-cash economy, innovative development and economic system based on financial technologies.

The article considers the state and prospects of development of the state financial control in Ukraine, investigates theoretical developments and practical experience concerning the state of the state financial control in Ukraine. The structure of violations identified by the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine in 2019 is highlighted. The structure of violations of budget legislation by types of violations is analyzed. The reports of the Accounting Chamber and the volume of violations and shortcomings identified by this control body were processed. The effectiveness of control and verification work of controlling bodies is investigated. The structure of revenues of the State Budget of Ukraine is considered and the results of the audit of the efficiency of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, the State Tax Service of Ukraine and the State Customs Service of Ukraine are analyzed. The results of the State Audit Service and the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine in 2018-2020 were analyzed. It was substantiated that the merger of customs and tax authorities into a single controlling body negatively affected the effectiveness of customs control over the movement of goods across the border and combating fraudulent transactions. The interaction of the State Audit Service with law enforcement agencies based on the results of its activities (audits, inspections, audits) during 2018-2020 is analyzed and it is determined that the State Audit Office constantly participates in joint activities with law enforcement agencies to identify and stop abuses and violations in the financial, economic and budgetary spheres. The most problematic reasons that affect the effectiveness of public financial control are highlighted. The study of the results of the effectiveness of the functioning of control bodies indicated numerous problems that persist in this area. Therefore, the main factors for improving the mechanism of efficiency of public financial control in Ukraine are indicated.

Published: October 2021

The article reveals the features of the implementation of judicial protection of economic human and civil rights in Ukraine on the basis of theory and practice. It has been established that the provision of judicial protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in Ukraine is regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as the provisions of other legislative and regulatory documents. It is determined that ensuring the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of a person is the main duty of Ukraine as a democratic state governed by the rule of law. It has been established that the rights and freedoms of man and citizen must be protected by the court. It has been proven that there is no restriction on persons who can apply for the protection of their rights, freedoms and interests in the judicial branch of government, however, a person who receives the right to go to court has no guarantees that he will be provided with protection and application on this basis of a number of procedural procedures. It has been established that the right to obtain judicial protection should be based on satisfaction by court of the requirement of material and legal character that the subject put forward to the person who violated the rights of this subject and/or interests protected by law. It has been established that the provision of judicial protection of the economic rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen consists in the fact that such provision should proceed from guarantees provided by the state, therefore everyone has the right to apply to specially authorized public authorities in accordance with the current constitutional order to protect their economic rights, freedoms and interests. It is noted that the right to judicial protection of economic rights and freedoms of man and citizen is the right to a comprehensive and open trial, so everyone has this right and it is not affected by participation in the trial or the specifics of the case. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this area are to study the features of judicial protection of social rights and freedoms of man and citizen in Ukraine.
THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF APPLYING THE PRINCIPLE OF NON BIS IN IDEM IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS RIGHT UKRAINE
Authors:   Lviv National Agrarian University, Olishchuk Petro
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes the principle of non bis in idem in the context of the criminal legislation of Ukraine, as well as the identification of cases of violations of this principle by law enforcement bodies during the qualification of criminal offences and during the issue of judicial decisions. It is noted that criminal law is a branch of law that is connected with the establishment of a ban on committing a certain act under the threat of the application by the state of measures of coercion of a criminal nature. The establishment of such a ban and the determination of measures of criminal-legal coercion, as a consequence, for its violation, is potentially related to the restriction of human rights. Obviously, the restriction of these rights cannot be arbitrary and chaotic, but must be subject to certain rules, ideas, which reflect the general development of society. These include the principles of criminal law, in particular the principle of criminal law, enshrined in art. Article 61 of the Constitution of Ukraine states: “No one can be brought to legal responsibility twice for the same type of offence”. According to Article 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, “no one may be brought to criminal responsibility for the same criminal offence more than once”. The article highlights the characteristic features of the investigated principle. It is stated that its role is extremely important for the internal construction of the field of law, as well as the correct normalisation and law enforcement. There are cases of violations of this principle by law enforcement bodies during the qualification of criminal offences and during the issue of judicial decisions, on examples of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and Ukrainian judicial proceedings. The European Court of Human Rights’s case-law on the application of Article 4 of the Convention is inconsistent and, in some cases, even contradictory. The principle of non bis in idem in the resolution of the question of the inadmissibility of double incrimination ensures the observance of the rights of the person during the implementation of criminal prosecution, as well as ensures the completeness of criminal legal qualification, the individualization of criminal responsibility and punishment.
AGRICULTURE: THEORY AND CASE LAW
Authors:   Research Institute of Private Law and Entrepreneurship named after Academician F. G. Burchak NAPrN of Ukraine, Stefan Оlena
Published: October 2021

The article, based on a comprehensive analysis of regulations, doctrinal approaches and case law, substantiates the understanding of the term "agriculture" in terms of purpose (use) of land. Direct analysis of regulations revealed that agricultural land is land provided for agricultural production, agricultural research and training activities, location of relevant production infrastructure, including infrastructure of wholesale markets for agricultural products, or intended for these purposes. In turn, the purpose of the land is the permissible limits of land use by citizens and legal entities (acquirers of such a right) established by law and specified by the relevant body (which transfers such land into ownership or use). The basis for determining the purpose of the land is its belonging to the appropriate category. The main criterion, for example, to distinguish agricultural production (agricultural activity) from other activities is the use of agricultural land as the main (basic) means of production. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the term "agriculture" can be understood in its broad and narrow sense. In a broad sense, the term "agriculture" is the use of land for commercial agricultural production, farming, personal farming, subsidiary agriculture, individual and collective gardening, haymaking and cattle grazing, for research and training purposes, provision of services in agriculture, placement of infrastructure of wholesale markets for agricultural products, as well as other activities on agricultural land, depending on the activities provided by law and the constituent documents of the economic entity. In a narrow sense – this is the purpose of agricultural land. The understanding of the term "agriculture" as the purpose of agricultural land is used by the court in resolving disputes.

The article is devoted to the study of the forms of transfer of functions for the provision of public services. The article reveals the administrative and legal characteristics of outsourcing in the provision of public services against the background of economic and legal characteristics. From an economic point of view, outsourcing is a tool for optimizing an organization, expressed in the transfer of certain activities from one organization to the implementation of another organization specializing in the relevant field. From the point of view of the place of outsourcing, the forms of transferring the performance of a function (activity) from one subject to another have been investigated, with the help of which it has been established that outsourcing can be applied in the public and private spheres. Outsourcing is essentially a form of public-private partnership, if the latter is understood broadly. It is highlighted that outsourcing should not be equated, firstly, with the complete transfer of the function (activity) in the private sector with the refusal of the state to participate in its implementation through its bodies and subordinate organizations, and secondly, with the permission of an indefinite number of subjects of the private sphere activities along with the state and local governments. The goal of outsourcing is to create competitive advantages that arise, firstly, due to saving time by eliminating the need to optimize your own business processes on your own; secondly, thanks to savings in financial and material resources; thirdly, due to the better performance of the business process by another organization, if it really is a professional.

The article emphasizes that the exchange of information is an important part of public administration. It is noted that most scientific publications on this issue are devoted to the introduction of e-government. It is shown that for stable and effective community development it is necessary to establish a bilateral exchange of information. The main complexity of this process is that society is a complex dynamic system in which you can select individual groups. Examples are groups: youth, people of retirement age, IDPs. The latter group is divided into subgroups. This is an additional proof of the complexity of the system in which information exchange takes place. The different orientation of the interests of individual groups allows us to formulate the first task of information flow management. This is an analysis of the environment in which information is exchanged. It is determined that one of the main conditions for the effectiveness of information exchange is its accessibility. It is shown that this concept applies not only to people with reduced mobility. The next task of management is to monitor the problems that concern certain groups. On the basis of such monitoring, it is possible to establish concrete purposes, to define methods of their achievement. It has been shown that the structure of social protection services should be reviewed in order to obtain information from groups requiring support. It is necessary to organize a department that should collect information about the needs of this group and disseminate information about the opportunities provided by the government. The principles of information support that allow to improve information exchange are highlighted. These include: reliability of information; topicality; content; focus on certain social groups; the ability to convey information to target groups; the degree of discussion of information in making management decisions; continuity of information provision taking into account changes in the internal and external environment; information presentation culture.
