Authors: Chuyan Nataliya , Breskina Galina
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The purpose is to study the effect of biological preparations based on Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas aureofacieens, nitrogen fertilizers (N10 kg a. v. per 1 t of straw) on the surface incorporation of crushed by-products into the soil on the indicators of biological activity of typical slightly eroded chernozem. Methods. The studies were carried out in 2018-2020 in field experiments with biological preparations of FGBNU “Kursk FANTS” (Kursk region, Medvensky district, Panino village) on typical poorly eroded chernozem in the grain (barley – buckwheat – fodder beans) and grain-tilled (sunflower – barley – soybean) crop rotation. The indices of biological activity (C-CO2 production by soil, cellulolytic activity of typical chernozem) are presented for the vegetation period of 2020 in soybean and fodder bean crops. Results. It was found that the use of biopreparations based on Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas aureofacieens, provided an increase in carbon dioxide emissions on average for the growing season of soybean by 43 % and by 65 % for forage beans in relation to the control. It was revealed that the highest activity of microorganisms participating in mineralization of by-products was observed in soybean during shoots: when nitrogen fertilizers were applied by 7.5 kg/h/ha and when they were mixed with biopreparations by 4.6 kg/h/ha relative to the control. For forage beans, the process of soil C–CO2 emission was more intense in the variant with the application of biopreparations by 3.8 kg/h/ha and their combined use with nitrogen fertilizers by 4.7 kg/h/ha compared to the control. It was shown that a significant proportion of the contribution to the variation of cellulolytic activity in soybeans belonged to nitrogen fertilizers – 80.6 %. For forage beans the main share of participation in variation of cellulosic decomposition intensity was determined by biopreparations, which was 3 times higher in relation to nitrogen fertilizers.

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Fruit and berry raw materials are a valuable source of nutrients and antioxidants in the diet of the population of the Sverdlovsk region [2]. The aim of the study is to determine the total antioxidant activity of the fruit and berry raw materials of the Ussury plum and thorn growing in the territory of the Sverdlovsk region. Generally accepted standard physic and chemical research methods were used. The material for the study was the fruits of the Ussury plum, represented by the following varieties: Pionerka, Dostoynaya, Ural’skie zori, Shelest, Gorlitsa, as well as thorn plum Sergo, Tagil, Iset’, Ermak growing in the Sverdlovsk Horticulture Breeding Station – a structural subdivision of the Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center – Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Ekaterinburg. Results. It is established that the growing fruit and berry raw materials in the Sverdlovsk horticulture breeding station can be an important source of antioxidant indicators. The largest values were shown by varieties of thorn plum: Iset’ – 52,404 mmol/l × eq, Ermak – 45,416 mmol/l × eq, Sergo – 32,748 mmol/l × eq, Tagil – 26,359 mmol/l × eq. Varieties of Ussury plum have lower antioxidant indicators. Thus, the antioxidant activity of the Dostoynaya late ripening variety is - 23.993 mmol/l × eq, in the Pionerka variety – 21.644 mmol/l × eq. In the varieties Gorlitsa and Shelest of the average ripening period, the antioxidant activity is 18.776 mmol/l × eq, and 17.842 mmol/l × eq. The lowest index in the early ripening variety Ural’skie zori is 4,713 mmol/ l × eq. In addition, physic and chemical parameters such as acidity, mass fraction of reducing and total sugars were studied in all the presented varieties of Ussury and thorn plums, organoleptic indicators of fruits were given, the results of the sugar-acid index were presented. Scientific novelty. The new data obtained indicate that the use of fruit and berry raw materials growing in the Sverdlovsk Horticulture Breeding Station – a structural subdivision of the Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center – Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Ekaterinburg, in the future can be used as a promising source of functional and biologically active substances, antioxidants for the development of formulations, as well as for a more correct calculation of the nutritional value of diets in order to increase antioxidant activity.

Published: May 2022

Abstract. The concept of digital economy is used in almost any sphere of the world economy. Information and communication technologies are actively spreading in economic and economic processes, contributing to the formation and development of new effective management technologies, commercial activities, effective business processes. The development of agro-industrial production is burdened by the influence of climatic, geographical and natural conditions, in connection with which it is poorly protected and has weaknesses. When in the field of industrial production there is an opportunity to provide for possible development options in a timely manner and make changes to the development strategy, then there is no such opportunity in the agricultural sector. The purpose of the study is to analyze the advantages of digital transformation of agriculture. The main research methods are system analysis, general logical research methods (comparison, generalization); economic and statistical analysis of data on the state of agriculture in the regions of Russia. Research objectives: 1) to analyze the expected results of the digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex; 2) to investigate the main stages of the Digital Agriculture project. Results. The digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex will lead to the conduct of smart agriculture – a high-tech complex of solutions that allows for maximum automation of the industry to increase the level of competitiveness and productivity, as well as attract investment in the industry. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the integrated level of informatization of agricultural enterprises in the region in the conditions of digitalization. Based on the analysis, an assessment of the use of digital technologies in agricultural enterprises in the modern period is given.

Authors: Holodova Marina
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Purpose. The research consists in developing a methodology for diagnosing the conditions of spatial placement of agricultural production within the framework of territorial planning. Methods. In the course of the research, monographic, statistical and computational-analytical methods of data processing were used. The dynamic assessment of the resource potential and the level of technological development of the crop production sub-sector allows us to identify competitive advantages, methods of statistical grouping to determine the vector of spatial placement. The empirical basis of the study was the assessment of trends in the development of the crop industry in large and medium-sized agricultural organizations, as well as in the farms of the Rostov region for the period 2016-2020. Results and practical significance. The proposed methodology based on the assessment of quantitative and qualitative within the regional potential of agricultural production allows us to identify both the competitive advantages of individual natural and economic zones in the cultivation of the main types of crops, and a number of sectoral problems. In particular, the calculations made it possible to objectively identify highly specialized zones for the production of certain types of agricultural products, assess bottlenecks in the level of technological development, establish depressive territories, determine the possibilities of leveling natural and climatic factors affecting the development of priority industries. The conducted research allows us to conclude that the system of territorial planning should be predetermined by the diagnosis of the conditions of spatial placement of key sub-sectors of agricultural production, taking into account the prevailing competitive advantages. Scientific novelty. The proposed methodology can be used as a unified tool for developing regional state programs for the development of agriculture, which allows linking the internal resource and production potential of the subjects of the Russian Federation with the target indicators of the federal state program.
Conceptual Approaches to the Formation of the Institute of Public Services in Ukraine
Authors:   Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuildin, Vdovychenko L. Y.
Published: May 2022

The article is aimed at highlighting conceptual approaches to the formation of the institute of public services in Ukraine. The article reviews the existing theoretical approaches to the services provided by public administration bodies both abroad and in Ukraine. Novel tendencies have been identified that are gradually becoming conceptual in Western countries: 1) reintegration (organizational decisions directed towards overcoming the administrative fragmentation generated by NPM reforms); 2) reorganization based on the needs of the population (combining public services and relevant services around a certain segment of the population, based on its needs); 3) digitalization (era of e-governance). It is proved that the institute of public services on a global scale is at the stage of transition from NPM to network electronic control. A comparative study of the conceptual foundations of the institute of public services abroad allowed the author to conclude that it is inappropriate to directly borrow foreign institutional solutions for Ukraine, therefore, for the institute of public services in Ukraine, the model of a welfare-building State that cares about the common good is much more adequate than the model of a servicing State that acts like a service center. In this regard, for the formation of the institute of public services in Ukraine, new qualities are proposed, aimed at compliance with the priorities of national development and modern culture of public administration in developed countries. Prospect for further research is the implementation of the proposed strategic guidelines in the formation and development of the institute of public services in Ukraine. At this, attention is focused on the occurrence of a risk of substitution of concepts: public services can be mistakenly identified with e-governance services, which may complicate the further domestic development of both innovative institutes.

Published: May 2022

The article is aimed at analyzing the current state of bank lending to companies of electric energy complex, highlighting the peculiarities of the introduction of the principles of «green» lending. The importance of the development of the electricity industry as an important component of the national economy of the State is emphasized and the problems that impede the sustainable development of industry companies are identified. The level of bank lending to companies of electric energy complex is analyzed, which indicates a low level of financing of companies in the structure of the loan portfolio of commercial banks of Ukraine and indicates the predominance of short- and medium-term contracts, which limits development opportunities. It is emphasized the need to use «green» loans in order to finance energy sectors through the possibility of mobilizing private capital. The socioecological orientation of «green» lending through the impact on the management of the bank’s relevant risks in order to optimize credit structures and introduce innovative banking services is underlined. The necessity of compliance with key principles ensuring the reliability of the implementation of lending relations within the framework of the provision of «green» loans is determined. The criteria for selection and further on compliance with their sustainable development goals, ensuring the environmental friendliness of projects implemented at the expense of «green» loans, are presented. The key factors that determine the decision on «green» lending are distinguished, namely: reputation; public, joint-stock and regulatory pressure; external control, accessibility. Practical aspects of the activities of domestic banks regarding «green» loaning programs and participation in financing projects supported by the government, international financial and credit institutions are disclosed. The need to attract insurance companies and create favorable conditions on the part of the State for the introduction of «green» products and services in order to minimize the risks of implementing «green» lending schemes for electricity companies is indicated.

Published: May 2022

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the essence of the process of citizen participation in local self-government. It is determined that public participation in local government should be understood as: independent participation of citizens (general public) in local self-government, in the forms of direct democracy; legalization of the activity of local self-government bodies by citizens through the exercise of suffrage and control rights; proper participation of citizens, social actors in decision-making and performance of the State tasks, including services, by local self-government bodies in the field of local, territorial or regional affairs, as well as the State affairs. It is noted that the existing scientific developments and the carried out analysis allowed to concludeaboutthe need to study public participation in local self-government based on the specification of key characteristics, namely the levels, forms and mechanisms of participation. The the groups of levels of public participation in local self-government and the hierarchy of the process of public participation depending on the level of public influence are interpreted according to the Sherry Arnstein classification. The practices of democratic countries regarding community participation in local affairs and direct participation in local self-government are analyzed and singled out. It is determined that one of the main tasks in this issue is the cooperation of citizens with the authorities to address pressing issues of national and local importance, which can be achieved through the introduction of direct forms of citizen participation in local self-government. Ukraine is actively transforming democratic processes and gradually forming a strong and active civil society. One of the main tasks in this issue is the cooperation of citizens with the authorities to address pressing issues of national and local importance, which can be achieved through the introduction of direct forms of citizen participation in local self-government. The key characteristics of the implementation of citizen participation in local self-government are given.

The aim of the article is to elaborate theoretical approaches and develop practical recommendations on the bank’s IT project management models on an innovative basis. In the course of the research, it is defined that the innovative activity of banks provides new opportunities for their progressive development, but at the same time increases pressure on the part of traditional and new competitors, which requires the development and adoption of non-standard, quick decisions related to the strategy of development of banks. So, in order not to lose competitive advantages, banks must improve their operations and services, introduce more advanced management structures that would allow them to respond in a flexible manner to the variability of external conditions of functioning, as well as ensure high quality of banking activities, cost control and efficiency. The main feature of modern banking business is the active introduction of new services and products addressed to specific groups of customers, specially: large enterprises, small firms and certain categories of individuals, which is possible only on the basis of the introduction of certain innovative IT projects. The implementation of such projects today is based on the development of project management methods that allow calculating risks through the phased implementation of parts of the project together with returning to past stages. While doing so, there is no necessity in spending additional funds, since the SCRUM team performs partial implementation of a project, within a specified period, which allows correcting past mistakes without large financial costs. The universality of the proposed SCRUM methodology provides the possibility of its application for the process of IT project management in the activities of enterprises and organizations of various levels, forms of ownership, type and sphere of activity of the national economy, which are the directions of further research of the authors of the article.

The purpose of the article is to study the essence of the quality of working life as a method of managing a company; comparison of the quality of working life in Ukraine and South Korea; coverage of modern approaches to its development. As a result of the study, it is emphasized that the quality of working life, as a method of managing a company, is aimed at designing and creating a comfortable working environment for employees at all levels. The quality of working life is associated not only with satisfied employees, but also with the best business results. The latter are associated with the intellectual capabilities of employees. When the quality of work and life is stable, productivity surely will be increased, too. A comparison of approaches to the quality of working life in Ukraine and South Korea is made, allowing to conclude about the common and the different. It is defined that a very big difference lies in the attitude of personnel to work and etiquette rules between the staff in Ukraine and in South Korea. Korea has the highest rate of aging population among countries that are members of the OECD. At the same time, not only employees need to change, but also employers should develop a holistic well-being strategy for the future. Not taking this into account in the country’s social policy will slow economic growth, exacerbate inequality and weaken welfare, and call into question the sustainability of public finances and social well-being. The standard of quality of working life at Korean enterprises is supported by laws. Domestic employers, as a rule, introduce disparate and unsystematic measures that meet only the current needs of employees. It is determined that the COVID-19 crisis has provoked increased attention to the protection of the most vulnerable workers. It is concluded that the development of social protection of the population has contributed to a more gradual transition from the protection of jobs to the protection of workers, which, together with the enhanced active policy of the labor market, supports employment and productivity growth. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the degree of influence of mental and physical health of an individual on the quality of working life.
Developing Scientific Approaches to the Study of the Organization

Published: May 2022

The complexity of the organization as an object of study, due to the human presence as the main element, makes it impossible to study its essence and features within the same scientific approach. There is no theory that would fully encompass all the types, kinds, forms of organizational structures and processes that occur in them. A variety of interpretations that reflect a wide range of generally accepted ideas contributes to the research and understanding of the organization, but at the same time actualizes the need for additional analysis and generalization for a deep understanding of the term, which is the purpose of the presented article. With the help of the historical method, methods of morphological and content analysis, scientific approaches to the study of the organization are generalized and systematized, their content is disclosed in connection with the object, instrumentarium and the result of the study. The necessity of studying the organization as a system and a process to reflect the range of interconnections, dependencies and coherences is substantiated. Taking into account the multifactorial nature of the organization, the expediency of applying an integrated approach to its study is proved, the possibility of using a traditional set of research methods with purposeful adaptation in accordance with the object and subject of research leading to their modification is specified. Paying attention to the fact that the value of knowledge lies in the extent to which their effective use in purposeful activities be possible, the need for the study of the organization of close interconnection and constructive interaction of scientific and practical activities is substantiated, because they provide a methodological basis for the practical application of the acquired knowledge and skills. Prospects for further research are the application of these approaches to the study of the essence of a competent organization, defining the features of its formation and functioning, adapting them to specific relevant tasks.
Formation of an Adaptive Strategic Planning Mechanism for Transport Enterprises
Authors:   Danube Institute of the National University «Odesa Maritime Academy», Maksymov S. B.
Published: May 2022

The distorted idea of entrepreneurs about the essence and significance of the application of strategic planning leads to the lack of development of effective mechanisms for its implementation. This issue is especially acute for transport enterprises that depend on production-technological and marketing changes occurring not only in transport, but also in other sectors of the national economy. The presence of a significant arsenal of strategic planning tools developed by Western scientists requires their adjustment, adaptation and modification for use by Ukrainian enterprises. The article draws attention to the fact that the issue of the mechanism of strategic planning at the enterprise, being a socioeconomic unit, becomes topical in the present day reality. It is mainly covered at the level of hromadas, regions or the State as a whole, but is rarely considered in the plane of enterprises. The analyzed approaches of domestic scientists to the formation of the mechanism of strategic planning at enterprises indicate a limited use of the existing strategic planning tools, which focuses on the use of one method and the absence of the necessary components of the mechanism with a certain interoperability and interconnection among them. Such an approach is non-rational and ineffective given the difficult and changing conditions of operation of enterprises. With attention to the above, an adaptive strategic planning mechanism for transport enterprises has been formed, which is designed to coordinate the stages of strategic planning and determine the instruments to take into account the maximum number of factors, as well as form directions on the way to ensuring competitive activities, increase financial stability, overcome insolvency and stagnant processes in the activities of the enterprise taking into account environmental changes. The main components of the proposed mechanism are the strategic planning process itself, based on the principles, components and objectives of strategic planning and taking into account the prerequisites for the occurrence of threatening situations; comprehensive monitoring of the company’s activities, covering system analysis, determination of strategic priorities and influence of factors of the external and internal environment; defining the horizon of strategic planning, which provides for the development of medium, long-term and two-term plans; calculation of forecast indicators according to the indicator system and their adjustment in case of changes in the influence factors; evaluation of the efficiency of the strategic plan. The presence of these components is the key to successful strategic planning and implementation of strategic programs.

The main theoretical approaches to the formation of a system of the indicators that determine the generation of economic value added, as the main indicator that reflects the efficiency of the economic entity and its reorganization, are considered. To determine the factors that have the greatest impact on the generation of economic value added, a provisional list of the most used indicators (both dynamic and static) applied to assess and analyze the performance of activity of an economic entity is comprised. Among the indicators are identified those that are correlation-independent (key), based on the generation of a reliable sample when calculating the efficiency and performance of economic entities in the industrial sector. On this grounds, a simulation modeling was performed, which results were indicated feedback paths, covering the key characteristics of the activity of economic entity. It is determined that the factors, influencing the generation of value added the most, are related to ensuring financial stability, efficiency of return on investment, the structure of fixed assets, the structure of financing the activities of the economic entity. The carried out analysis of the identified relations helped to allocate the key factors, which have the greatest impact on the efficiency of activities, and, accordingly, determine the directions of reorganization of the economic entity. Making use of this approach allows to determine at the empirical level the most appropriate combinations of management technologies with the financial and economic instrumentarium for carrying out a reorganization of the economic entity and forecasting the consequences of their application. The necessity of using the indicator of economic value added as a target criterion for assessing the operation and development of an economic entity is proved.

The article is aimed at substantiating proposals for the development of a roadmap for innovative development of sectors of the national economy. The roadmap is described as a visualization of a strategy that reflects the relation between strategic goals and tactical decisions over a defined period of time. The basis of such a map is the introduction of innovations and innovative technologies. Considering the very interpretation of such a strategy, we can conclude that the roadmap is an algorithm with sequential actions (stages), as presented in the article. The distribution of priority sectors of the national economy of Ukraine into four sectors is proposed: industrial; life-supporting; agricultural; trade. The authors identify four key factors that directly influence the innovative development of sectors of the national economy, i.e.: development of human potential; interaction of scientific and educational institutions with industry; improvement of the regulatory framework; development of the innovative ecosystem. The list of participants in the innovative development of sectors of the national economy that may be involved in strategic planning and participation in planned events is substantiated as follows: government; research and educational institutions; support and innovation services; economic entities; investors. A roadmap for innovative development of sectors of the national economy is developed, which enables direct participants of innovative development to form, control and influence short-term, medium and long-term actions aimed at achieving the strategic goals of the State, city, and community.

Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of NAS of Ukraine, Borodina O. A.
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this article is to develop and substantiate a conceptual and analytical model of the structure of energy generation and consumption at the local level in the context of the decentralisation reform in Ukraine on the basis of an analysis of current world-wide and European trends as to ensuring a sufficient level of energy efficiency. The current trends of world energy consumption are illustrated, the forecast for the development of renewable energy is built, the energy efficiency analysis of the national economy is carried out. In order to form a holistic system of energy management on the local grounds, a model of generation and consumption for use at the local level is proposed, the financing of which is provided for by the results of the use of a comprehensive mechanism. A number of normative and organizational-institutional proposals on the normalization of energy efficiency improvement processes are suggested. The factors of energy efficiency of this model, financial instruments for its effective functioning in the form of a mechanism of interest-making budget revenues and specialized funds are disclosed; organizational and institutional support of such reform is proposed; the functional dependence of the target function of the model of energy generation and consumption is detailed, taking into account the methods of generation and the main consumers at the appropriate levels. The analysis of the main risks is carried out and the flaws of this process are defined; a number of regulatory and institutional transformations are proposed to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of an effective policy of energy efficiency of hromadas thus ensuring the energy security of the State. It is recognized as expedient to adopt a package of bills and resolutions on energy cooperation, organization of a biofuel exchange. The model of organization and functioning of a cooperative for the generation and consumption of solar energy, which is based on the regulatory framework, is presented. The above mentioned allowed to develop scientific and applied recommendations for improving regulatory provisions, which will enable the hromada to become an effective player in the wholesale electricity market, marketing the energy according to the green tariff.

The article considers the need to introduce various levers of economic influence and elements of sustainable production in the work of Ukrainian industrial complex as an important condition for economic growth of the company, the preservation of ecological balance and sustainable development of our State. The purpose of the article is to analyze the ways of economic harmonization of industrial companies and the search for opportunities of rational use of resources to improve their efficiency and implementation of global standards of sustainable production. Having studied the achievements of domestic scientists, certain normative acts and directions of sustainable development of the country, the authors came to the conclusion that application of economic instruments, among which tax benefits and subsidies, investment attraction, governmental support of eco-projects, financing of modernization of production process, establishment of material responsibility, stimulates industrial entrepreneurs to function on the basis of sustainable production, covering rational environmental management, regulation of ecological safety norms and indicators, the polluter pays principle, increase of energy efficiency, etc.. Such measures are encouraged at the State level by providing comprehensive support to the industrial segment of the market, but the authors emphasize that companies should be directly interested in this, because economic harmonization on the basis of sustainable production provides the economic welfare of the enterprise, allows it to become more profitable and at the same time reduce the environmental pollution caused by it. In turn, this positively affects the solution of a number of problems of economic and environmental nature, the solution of which will contribute to the sustainable development of Ukraine, in particular. The prospect of further research is the continuation of the analysis of economic harmonization as the key to positive changes in industry through the optimization of enterprises, taking into account the generally recognized standards of sustainable production to ensure sustainable development of our State.
Clusters of Ecological Diplomacy in Terms of International Cooperation
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics / Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, Bokhan A. V.
Published: May 2022

The article considers topical issues of development of clusters of ecological diplomacy in the context of international cooperation. The author determines the need to form a new mechanism of economic development, taking into account the policy of ecological security, changes in the format of negotiations, diversification of ecological and economic activity, and institutional potential. The deterioration of the environment and resource support is of concern to humanity, which requires the creation of economic and global rules of interaction between countries. The ecological factor affects the transformation of international economic relations, competitive relations, market advantages, the potential of countries and their ability to develop cooperation on the basis of cluster formations. The current approaches to multilateral ecological diplomacy have been systematized. It is proposed to consider clusters of ecological diplomacy according to the following principles: multilateralism, interaction and interconnectedness of spheres of activity. It is proved that the role of clusters of ecological diplomacy will grow, and their functioning will contribute to: ecological and economic cooperation of diplomatic missions of different countries; exchange of experience between diplomats on new models of contacts in the sphere of ecologization of international economic activity. Applying the system principle to clustering covers topical issues in solving global problems. The development of ecological diplomacy in Ukraine is a promising direction, but so far it is accompanied by the lack of an integrated approach to the mechanisms of its implementation at the ideological, political, legislative, institutional and organizational levels. Ecological diplomacy is the direction of systemic and integrated diplomatic activity when generating a new level of representation and protection of ecological and economic interests of countries and other subjects of international cooperation, oriented to progressive mechanisms for transforming global challenges into qualitatively new opportunities for balanced development and ecological security of society
Hybrid Learning Strategy: The Theory and Practice of Use
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after V. Hetman, Korotkova K. O.
Published: May 2022

The National doctrine for the development of education provides for the active introduction of modern information-communication technologies (hereinafter referred to as ICT), which could ensure further improvement of the educational process and contribute to improving efficiency. The use of ICT in the educational process is no longer a fashionable innovation, but a vital need. At this, the experience of complete transition to online learning has revealed a number of considerable shortcomings that significantly reduce the effectiveness of the educational process. That is why the purpose of the article is to study the digitalization of the educational process, to define the optimal ratio of the use of ICT in the educational environment to achieve the greatest effect that can be expressed in the creation and use of a hybrid learning strategy, as well as to demonstrate successful practical experience on the example of a business organization. For the study of the identified problems and solving the set goal, methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization, scientific abstraction, comparison and generalization were used. In the course of research, it was found that the digital transformation of education is an integral part of its development and consists in the introduction and use of ICT-based electronic digital devices in the educational process. Still, a full-fledged transition to an online education system for Ukrainian educational institutions is currently impossible, since it is necessary to take into account the factors of digital skills of teachers and students, the availability of technical equipment, tools and support technologies that require significant improvement. Therefore in order to ensure maximum efficiency of the educational process, it is advisable to apply and expand the boundaries of the use of a hybrid learning system that combines traditional and online learning in the proportions necessary for a particular group of students. The hybrid learning system eliminates the shortcomings that can arise when using either only classroom-based or only e-learning. Also a significant advantage of the hybrid learning system is that it can be applied in various forms, adapting to the requirements of a particular student. The hybrid learning system is already successfully used in business organizations, for example, at the Academy of Corporate Education of the Ukrainian company «DniproM», but in the State-owned educational institutions such a system is still not widespread, which is the basis for further scientific research

The research is concerned with the construction of a comprehensive index of socioeconomic development of the regions of Ukraine. For this purpose, a set of data from the rating assessment of the Ministry of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine was used. Relying on a large number of indicators (64 indicators, which are combined into 12 groups reflecting a certain aspect of the socioeconomic development of the regions) is the main advantage of this rating assessment among other authors’ approaches. However, in the rating assessment from the Ministry there are significant shortcomings associated with the calculation of this comprehensive assessment. Firstly, some values are absent in the set of indicators (most often concerning Luhansk and Donetsk regions). Secondly, there is a simple method of aggregation: the arithmetic mean for each group and among 12 groups, which raises doubts about the consistency of a large number of different indicators in content with the index. To correct the shortcomings of the rating assessment, the article pays more attention to the processing of the data set and applies several methods of aggregation of indicators into a comprehensive index, which are compared to each other and to the rating assessment of the Ministry of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine. As a result, the comprehensive index has become more balanced due to greater consistency of indicators with a comprehensive index. The results obtained on the basis of the calculations show that in 2015 and 2018, the city of Kyiv had the highest level of socioeconomic development, the worst was the Luhansk region, which, among other things, is the result of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. During these years, Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions also had a high rating. The indices show a significant discrepancy between all regions, and especially with city of Kyiv and Luhansk region. During 2015–2018. there is a tendency to increase the city of Kyiv index from the average value and, at the same time, to reduce this difference for the Luhansk region. But it is noted that some regions do not keep up with this tendency, so in 2015 most regions had values of a comprehensive index above average (13 regions), but in 2018 only eight of these regions remained at the mentioned level.

The topic of public administration of regions remains relevant for all countries of the world in different historical periods of society development. The effectiveness of regional policy on the basis of timely identification and solution of existing territorial problems is the basis for finding ideas and approaches to the formation and functioning of an efficient system of public management of the development of a country as a whole and its regions in particular. Features of the functioning of world countries in different time periods of their existence, such as, for example, the change of tendencies, the emergence of contradictions, the acquisition of importance of certain major ideas for the formation of areas of territorial management under different conditions of development, led to the emergence of a number of theories that in the practical field have become the basis for the development of a methodology for public management of regional development, allowing to determine the principles, priorities, directions, methods of formation and functioning, mechanisms and models of development and management, ways of using resources, and so on. Using them allows to explain and anticipate the tendencies in the development of regions, develop approaches to identifying and overcoming territorial problems, and form instruments for practical implementation. A significant number of theories of regional development proposed in the scientific circle, in accordance with the similarity of goals and directions of implementation, are united into groups. These are theories of spatial placement, neoclassical, cumulative growth, self-development and competitiveness, sustainability, etc. At the stage of the contemporary development of Ukraine, characterized by the introduction of decentralization processes into public management of territorial development, the generalization of many years of world experience (in particular, European) along with the accumulated national experience, the use of the theoretical foundations of regional management will contribute to further improvement and search for new scientific and methodological approaches to identifying the problems of the development of Ukrainian regions and ways to solve them.
