The key differences are identified, the need for systematic action at both regional and national levels for the effective implementation of digitalization is substantiated. Data on the level of the digital economy development in Ukraine in general, and in the regions in particular, as well as examples of successful implementation of digitalization in some countries, are presented. It is investigated that Ukraine is one of the first places in Europe in terms of population with the Internet access.
It is established that the process of digitalization of Ukraine’s economy is qualitatively different from that in developed countries. In the context of rapid development of information economy in order to bridge the existing gap with developed countries in the digitalization process, Ukraine needs to implement a number of measures, including: creating a regulatory framework for digital economy, introducing and promoting digital platforms and services for business and population, establishing education systems in order to effectively train specialists in the digital age, creating an effective digital infrastructure, promoting the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in industry, etc. The implementation of the proposed actions will bring Ukraine closer to the digitalization level of developed countries and increase social and economic development of the state.
The article outlines the components of digital transformation of the regions of Ukraine, among which the emphasis is on creating an effective digital infrastructure; the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies in industry; e-government and training of the workforce according to the requirements of digital economy. It is noted that the digitalization process should be systemic in nature at both national and regional levels.

GDP AND ALTERNATIVE INDICATORS FOR ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF COUNTRY’S DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Savluk Сергій , Arzhevitin S. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Usually the GDP volume measures the level of any economy development, but other indicators of a country welfare are underestimated. Some countries issued government bonds with interests payments tackled to GDP rates of growth. Emission of such bonds usually not taking into account the wave shape of GDP growth curve. After shock slide down of economy, usually high rates of growth are observed. Despite the fact that the economy may not have recovered even pre-crisis level, but payments on such bonds should be exercised. This situation takes place in the modern world economic space, when the economies of countries as a result of the «coronavirus crisis» can demonstrate a rapid decline with further significant growth. At the same time, it is almost impossible to predict both the duration and depth of decline and growth of economies.
In addition, the set of some ratios for the some economy parameters estimations is based on GDP level. Among them monetization and credit saturation of economy. However, they may not reflect the real level of fiscal potential of the country due to stock market capacity, technological progress, cryptocurrency development, shadow part of economy, social stability, environment protection and other factors.
Groupes of scientists try to invent new indicators, which may correct GDP weaknesses or, at least, help to create more realistic and more comprehensive picture of a country socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to study the indicator of GDP and other indicators, that may objectively determine the level of a country development.
Based on the analysis of the IMF data on 264 countries over 10 years, the lack of correlation between the level of monetization and creditization of GDP and its dynamics was reviled, although such dependence should have been direct. This gave us the opportunity to assume that the GDP indicator does not fully characterize the development and socio-economic state of the country. It contains components that have no direct connection with the development of the economy. At the same time, the modern economic development acquires qualitative features to replace the quantitative characteristics on which the GDP calculation is based. Such qualitative aspects of development include digitization of societies, ecology, social security, product quality, not its quantity. They must be taken into account when determining the socio-economic level of development of countries.
Keywords: GDP, GDP warrants, monetization, crediting of economy, shadow economy, Happiness Report.

Актуальность. В настоящее время пандемия COVID-19 в мире и России остается главным событием. В связи с этим изучение проявлений эпидемического процесса новой коронавирусной инфекции COVID-19 и закономерностей ее развития является актуальным направлением исследований. В борьбе с этим вирусным заболеванием важная роль отводится изучению развития популяционного иммунитета к вирусу SARS-CoV-2, которое позволит провести оценку динамики серопревалентности и процесса формирования постинфекционного гуморального иммунитета, прогноза развития эпидемиологической ситуации, выяснение особенностей эпидемического процесса, а также будет способствовать планированию мероприятий по специфической и неспецифической профилактике заболевания.
Цель исследования – определение динамики популяционного иммунитета к SARS-CoV-2 среди населения Иркутской области в период пандемии COVID-19.
Материалы и методы. В рамках проекта Роспотребнадзора по оценке популяционного иммунитета к SARS-CoV-2 у населения Российской Федерации проведены исследования среди населения Иркутской области в периоды с 23.06.2020 по 19.07.2020 г. (1 этап), с 16.09.2020 по 25.09.2020 г. (2 этап), с 7.12.2020 по 18.12.2020 г. (3 этап) и с 08.03.2021 по 14.03.2021 г. (4 этап) с учетом протокола, рекомендованного ВОЗ. Содержание антител к SARS-CoV-2 определяли методом иммуноферментного анализа с использованием набора реагентов для анализа сыворотки или плазмы крови человека на наличие специфических иммуноглобулинов класса G к белкам вируса SARS-CoV-2.
Результаты. Показано, что в период эпидемического подъема заболеваемости COVID-19 сформировался невысокий уровень серопревалентности (1 этап – 5,8±0,5%; 2 этап – 12,1±0,7%), а в условиях длительного максимального роста заболеваемости – 25,9±1,0% (3 этап) и на начало периода вакцинации – 46,2±1,2% (4 этап). Значительная доля бессимптомных форм инфекции на первых двух этапах исследования (1 этап – 82,2±3,2%, 2 этап – 86,1±2,3%) характеризует высокую интенсивность скрыто развивающегося эпидемического процесса. Высокий уровень IgG у перенесших COVID-19 сохранялся в среднем от 3 до 5 месяцев.
Заключение. Результаты оценки популяционного иммунитета к вирусу SARS-CoV-2 у населения Иркутской области свидетельствуют о том, что уровень серопревалентности на 4 этапе исследования составил 46,2%. После перенесенного заболевания в среднем у 49,5% лиц, антитела не выявлены. Полученные результаты следует учитывать при организации профилактических мероприятий, включая вакцинацию, и прогнозирование заболеваемости.
Economic and social factors affecting the epidemiological process of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus
Authors: Ponomarenko Sophia 
Published: July 2021

Summary
Aim. Analyze the impact of several economic and social factors on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing the latest statistics in large and representative samples. Assess the factors inhibiting the negative consequences of the infectious process of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Materials and methods. To create this review, the required academic and media publications also statistical data were found on the Internet for the selected keywords, both for a single tag and in various combinations of them. Population statistics have been created on the base of data available on the Internet.

Results and discussion. The relationship between economic or social factors and the impacts of the 15-month COVID-19 pandemic in different regions was investigated using a variety of available statistics for five continents and 53 countries. A positive relationship was found between the consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic and GDP per capita or the type of human diet with correlation coefficients in the range of 0.48-0.87. The development of the viral epidemic demonstrates a less clear correlation on population density from r = -0.68 to r = -0.16, depending on the selected group of countries. For island nations, geographic isolation was the dominant defense against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Conclusions. An analytical and quantitative study of economic or social aspects and numerous statistics on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, carried out on large representative samples, showed that, the productive infection and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2, critically increase with an excessive amount of consumed proteins and fats. To successfully control of the progression COVID-19 disease, the WHO guidelines for the amount of macronutrients consumed should be followed. This cost-effective approach will reduce health care expenditures in all countries during the epidemic.
