Pattern recognition in surveillance systems and diagnostics
The collective monograph "Pattern recognition in surveillance systems and diagnostics" deals with recent advances in several related areas that are rapidly developing and need efficient state-of-the-art solutions. Although particular tasks solved by chapters’ authors are quite diverse, they are based on modern approaches of digital signal/image processing, artificial intelligence, training, and further verification, adaptation, and optimization. Quality of lossy compressed images and ways of its providing This chapter considers the problem of providing a desired quality of images compressed in a lossy manner due to the necessity to radically decrease the amount of registered, transferred, or disseminated data without significant reduction of efficiency in solving object recognition or sensed terrain classification tasks. Visually lossless compression is treated as a possible solution where a quite large compression ratio and appropriate quality of compressed images can be ensured simultaneously. Such an approach can also be useful for medical diagnostic systems. Solving pattern recognition problems in shipping monitoring systems based on CNN-models The chapter proposes a fundamentally new convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for vision-based monitoring and classification of inland waterway vessels in river-port environments. A comprehensive review of the fundamental principles of CNN construction is provided. More than 12,000 annotated images of inland waterway vessels have been collected in a dataset employed in experimental evaluation, according to which the proposed CNN model achieved the F1-score of 91.9%. It has outperformed classical methods by 8–12% on average. Reengineering of management processes for the restoration of transport and logistics infrastructure through image recognition and BIM-oriented remediation This chapter focuses on aspects of the reengineering of infrastructure facilities. The authors expand the range of application of computer vision, analysis of images and UAV imagery, satellites, and neural-network recognition, which is integrated with the BIM model of the facility, forming a "digital twin". This makes it possible to perform more accurate planning of remediation/reconstruction/restoration works (4D/5D), choose the optimal scenario of necessary measures, etc. The study also makes it possible to assess the effect of the implemented complex of works. From pattern recognition to remediation management in a closed digital loop for post-war logistics The authors study the problem of transition from digital diagnostics to executable management of remediation processes for territories influenced by emergency events, including military actions. They show that the effectiveness of recovery measures is strictly connected with the quality of logistical coordination and the speed of managerial decision-making. The necessity of transitioning from the fragmented use of digital tools to an integrated management architecture is stated. The architecture of the Closed Digital Diagnostic Loop for Remediation Logistics is determined where the Pattern Recognition block acts as a source of diagnostic events, forming the basis for geospatial integration. Detection of small and camouflaged objects This chapter deals with an important practical task of detecting small and camouflaged objects in images acquired from UAVs, drones, and other aerial carriers. Such objects are often masked or obscured by terrain texture or other objects, leading to small objects missing. The authors focus on YOLO-based detectors due to their appropriate detection abilities and high processing speed. An experiment is carried out for an annotated dataset. The obtained results show that the improved approach ensures more stable detection for complex scenes and simultaneously provides significantly reduced training time. Among the considered CNNs, the YOLOv11 model has demonstrated the best results in detecting small targets in complex background conditions. Visual pattern recognition in navigation simulator interfaces: a method for automatic restoration reconstruction of vessel motion parameters In this chapter, the authors tested a simple idea: whether it is possible to obtain the ship's trajectory and navigation parameters from the image of the deck simulator interface. The corresponding image recognition methods have been designed and tested. The simulator display is treated as a reflection of the internal state of the model, where the display indicators show the state of the boat. The analysis allows representing the change in the vessel parameters over time. This also allows investigating ship dynamics and supporting experimental studies. BPMN as a tool for adaptive support of pattern recognition and digital diagnostic results in remediation and post-crisis recovery The chapter develops an approach to the use of BPMN as a means for support of pattern recognition and digital diagnostic results with application to remediation and post-crisis recovery. The research is important for practice since it considers the possibility of the construction of managed digital response workflows where the results of automated detection are converted into a set of coordinated actions having the goal to eliminate the crisis consequences. The thorough verification of this approach is possible using a combination of open benchmark datasets employed for the recognition of damage and changes.

Simulation modeling of artillery systems for improving game simulators. From theory to practice
At the present stage of development of computer simulation of military processes, the problem lies not only in obtaining a visually convincing picture of combat actions, but in reproducing their internal logic in such a way that the modelled process resembles a real one not externally only, but by its sequence, interrelations, dependencies, and consequences. This is especially true in relation to artillery systems. In many modern simulators and computer gaming products, one can observe sufficiently advanced visualization, dynamic effects, and a high degree of graphical realism, while the functioning of artillery means itself is often presented in a simplified form, where separate stages are shown, but not united into one logically complete cycle. Because of this, the issue arises of creating such generalized simulation approaches that would make it possible to reproduce the operation of artillery means not as a set of disconnected effects, but as a full process beginning with the choice of a target and continuing through preparation, aiming, firing, flight, influence of disturbances, target hit, and final action of ammunition. This book is devoted exactly to such an approach. Its main idea is to consider artillery functioning in a simulation environment as a complete and internally connected cycle, where every stage has its own logic, its own modelling task, and at the same time forms part of the common system. For this reason, the book consistently addresses trajectory formation, sensor and perception issues, accuracy and randomness, the influence of stochastic disturbances, reaction to changing conditions, and the role of all these factors in forming realistic behaviour of artillery means in a simulator. The importance of such an approach lies in the fact that it allows moving away from purely illustrative reproduction of fire action and toward a more physically and logically grounded simulation, where the visible result becomes only the outer manifestation of deeper modelled processes. A significant feature of the presented material is that the proposed models are generalized and do not include any actual secret tactical or technical characteristics. They were created not for the disclosure of real data, but for the formation of a methodological basis that can be used in educational systems, training environments, computer simulators, and computer gaming. This makes it possible to combine scientific correctness, practical applicability, and safety of use. At the same time, the book is connected not only with simulation itself, but also with automation, computer-integrated technologies, decision support, and operations research, because artillery action is treated here as a complex controlled process influenced by many interrelated factors, including uncertainty, timing, observation, reaction, and probability of result. Thus, the book offers the reader not a fragmented set of separate models, but a holistic view of artillery simulation as a field where mathematical modelling, stochastic methods, ballistic logic, sensor representation, and decision-making principles are combined into one framework. Precisely because of this, the presented material may be useful both for developers of realistic military simulators and gaming products, and for engineers, researchers, cadets, officers, and all those who are interested in creating more realistic and scientifically grounded models of artillery processes.

Assessment in Accounting: Concept and Tools
The monograph is devoted to the study of the valuation in accounting (financial, managerial, actuarial) accounting, in the interests of business management and information support for interested parties. Reliable standing display of all accounting objects is carried out through the mechanisms of evaluation. Modern change of their dominants in the system of international standards consists, in particular, in a gradual transition first to the widespread use of fair value measurement, and then to the mixed assessment model, as well as polyvariability in valuation for financial and management accounting, the use of actuarial mathematics in determining the value business. This requires the development of elements of a particular system, presented in the work. The study of complex objects is impossible without an evolutionary retrospective, periodization and systematization of their development trends. Therefore, it is important to establish a valuation for the genesis as a tool for accounting and managing and implementing forecasts for its near future. The transparency and validity of the formation of data on the cost of accounting objects and, on their basis, a reliable representation of the elements of financial statements, is a matter of internal contradiction – between the categorical requirements of institutional and legal norms and the evaluator of subjectivity of the valuer. Ways to mitigate this contradiction, through the variability of accounting policies for valuation for various purposes and various objects, are also explored in the work. Each economic entity is closely associated with stakeholders, groups of influence, which causes the need to study the relationship between the degree of satisfaction of groups of value influence and the value of the enterprise itself for such groups. To determine the degree of this dependence, an analysis of the sensitivity of the enterprise’s value to the satisfaction of the groups of value influence is conducted, making it possible to identify priority areas for their future activities. The monograph is intended for researchers, teachers, graduate students and doctoral students, university students, accountants and managers, other professionals interested in evaluation problems.

Management of a modern IT сompany: theoretical and technological aspects
The object of the study is the processes of functioning and maintenance, which together determine the stage of operation of a web-based information system for managing an enterprise or organization. During the study, the problem of developing elements of the methodology for lifecycle management of a web-based information system was solved. Modern research in this area is mainly aimed at analyzing and developing individual aspects of managing the operation of complex systems. The main attention is paid to solving individual tasks of managing the operation of systems based on IoT or DevOps. General issues of creating and improving the System Lifecycle Management approach remain little studied. During the study, the main provisions of the effective management concept of the life cycle of a web-based information system were proposed. This concept is based on a multi-level representation of the information system and the possibility of effective management of the system according to its properties. For further formal description of the proposed concept, the main concepts were defined and the ontology of this concept was developed. Based on this ontology, a generalized model of effective management of the operation of a web-based information system and a set of theoretical and categorical models that detail the description of the elements of this model were developed. The resulting generalized model was taken as a basis for developing a formal problem statement of effective life cycle management of an operated information system as an IT service system. A formal description of the objective function and constraints of the problem of classical (permanent) life cycle management of an operated information system was proposed. On its basis, a formal description of the objective function and constraints of the problem of effective life cycle management of an operated web-based information system was proposed. It was determined that the problem of classical (permanent) life cycle management of an operated information system is a special case of the proposed problem of effective management. The practical application of the obtained research results allows improving systems for life cycle management of an operated information system without global reengineering of existing systems and technologies for data storage and processing.

The collective monograph ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS MODELING presents an interdisciplinary inquiry that integrates the methodology of ecological and socio-economic modeling with digital instruments for governing sustainable development and territorial recovery. The central concern is the balance between the economy and the natural environment through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. The concept of transition to a balanced sustainable development model This chapter elaborates a methodology for reconciling economic and environmental constraints within the logic of the SDGs and the Paris Agreement, grounded in inter-industry eco-economic input–output models and the Method of Basis Matrices (MBM). The authors set out an approach to solving both forward and inverse problems to identify a preferred development pathway and to iteratively retune the model under alternative sustainability scenarios. The resulting trajectories are recommended for long-term planning and for improving policy at national and international levels. Cost assessment of climate change impacts on a railway company This section proposes a practice-oriented framework for accounting for and attributing climate-related costs (incidents, maintenance, passenger behavior) in the railway sector. Emphasis is placed on separating climate-attributable expenditures from ordinary costs, avoiding double counting, and building a structured repository of baseline and climate-linked data. The chapter underscores the need for further research on passenger behavioral responses to extreme weather. Ecological state of modern soil cover in agrocenoses of the Greater Caucasus Sheki region This chapter offers an in-depth analysis of climatic and soil-microbiological data (2023–2024) for agrocenoses in the Sheki district, including moisture, humus content, actinomycete abundance, and dominant micromycete taxa. The effects of reforestation are documented, as is the role of long-lived stand fractions in accumulating organic matter (21.5–32.7 kg·m⁻²). The study demonstrates the significance of microbiological indicators—such as colony-forming units (CFU) and microbial biomass C—for monitoring and rational use of gray forest soils. Information technologies in scenario-based modeling of post-conflict territory remediation: from express sanitation to sustainable recovery The author proposes a hybrid architectural model (ML + GIS + IoT) and optimization algorithms for scenario-driven remediation management across the I–S–R phases (Invasion–Stabilization–Recovery) in Ukrainian territories affected by military activity. Case studies from Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv substantiate prioritized measures (hydro-ecological monitoring, radiation control, pollution mapping, and soil/water remediation). Validation matrices and heat maps are employed to select digital components, thereby accelerating the transition from rapid clean-up to sustainable recovery. Sustainable development policy for post-conflict recovery in Ukraine: the role of environmental indicators in decision-making By the collective of authors of the monographic study, on the basis of a survey of >16,000 residents of 42 de-occupied communities of southern Ukraine, five indicators (TPMA, DNES, IHWI, ANR, BPHP) are presented. The authors propose to use heat maps and a structural model of managerial decisions for the purposes of ranking “hot spots” and forming local strategies (monitoring, reclamation, waste management, education). A structural model of management of decisions has been formed and sources of financing are indicated (donors, national funds, PPP); directions of future research have been outlined, including a national index of environmental sustainability of post-conflict territories. Development of models and methods for assessing green skills in the labor market ecologization environment This chapter presents an intelligent approach to aligning supply and demand for “green” occupations using fuzzy multi-criteria methods and pattern recognition. Scenarios are provided for matching competencies to vacancy-specific requirements, and the method’s invariance is demonstrated across diverse segments of the green economy. Shared use of transport as a component of the circular economy in relation to achieving sustainable development goals The chapter examines the applicability of shared-mobility models (car-sharing) in rural communities as a tool of the circular economy and the SDGs. Using the Adzhamka territorial community as a case, it substantiates the viability of local car-sharing (−13.68 t CO₂ per year and savings of 27,000–43,000 UAH per user annually), conditional on sufficient digital readiness and a cooperative model. Scaling barriers (digital divide, limited engagement) are identified, directions for integrating “smart mobility” are outlined, and vectors for future research are proposed. Organizational and structural modeling of the integration of marine robotics into multilevel environmental and ecological monitoring systems Here the authors advance an organizational model for integrating marine robotics into multilevel eco- and hydromonitoring, grounded in systems thinking, cybernetics, and ecosystemology. Ten principles (goal-orientation, adaptability, crisis resilience, interoperability, etc.) are formalized mathematically; the model operates through three contours – physical, informational, and managerial. Simulation experiments highlight the decisive role of adaptability and resource efficiency in ensuring system sustainability. Social entrepreneurship as a driver of green remediation and revitalization of affected territories: digital modeling and decision support systems The team develops an integrated DSS architecture in which social entrepreneurship acts as a change agent; the TBL→ESG linkage ensures measurability of effects, while LegalTech codifies compliance and auditing of smart contracts. For the Kharkiv region, six scenarios are modeled using cluster dendrograms, PCP, and a “butterfly chart,” demonstrating feasible trajectories for employment, soil/water clean-up, and risk reduction under transparent pay-for-performance arrangements. A seamless pipeline—data → analytics → decision → contract → KPI-based payments → verified impact—is proposed for scalable project finance. A pilot for Kharkiv (H2-2026→2030) shows gains in employment and training, progress in soil/water remediation, and improved governability; the visualization tools support priority-setting by cluster.

Particular attention is given to post-crisis recovery opportunities based on digital models, including sustainable development, investment attractiveness, and regional adaptability. The authors substantiate and propose the implementation of progressive approaches to digital policy, institutional governance, and the formation of competitiveness in the conditions of global transformation. This collective monograph encompasses theoretical analysis with applied solutions and is intended for scholars, practitioners, public administrators, and digital architects of the economy of the future. Reforming the Personal Income Tax in Ukraine for the Post-War Perspective in the Era of Digital Transformation This chapter of the monograph is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the functioning of the personal income taxation (PIT) system in Ukraine for the period from 2018 to 2024. The focus is on the organizational conditions of tax collection, the impact of crisis factors (including the post-COVID-19 pandemic period and the period of full-scale war since February 2022), as well as the prospects for reform within the framework of large-scale digitalization and with consideration of behavioral economics. The authors substantiate the need to shift from a proportional to a progressive taxation scale, introducing behavioral and digital vectors as key directions of the studied transformation of the national economy. The study proposes specific measures: from the introduction of an active tax-free minimum to the use of Big Data, electronic declarations, and the functionality of the Diia application for the purpose of increasing transparency and administrative efficiency. The chapter forms the conceptual basis of a new tax philosophy, which is primarily focused on social justice, digital governance, and the sustainable recovery of the country. Digital Drivers of Business Model Transformation in the Circular Economy Paradigm This chapter of the monograph is devoted to an in-depth comparative analysis of EU countries in the context of a quantitative assessment of the impact of digitalization on the transformation of business models in the conditions of the transition to a circular economy. In the study, the author developed and proposed for implementation a comprehensive scheme for assessing the level of digital-circular integration. The Integrated Digital Circular Economy Index (IDCEI) was substantiated and proposed for application; it includes key indicators of digital intensity and resource efficiency. Based on cluster analysis and scenario modeling, three development trajectories were identified: intensive digital integration, fragmented implementation, and digital stagnation. The main drivers of a successful transition were defined as the level of ERP system implementation, the Circular Material Use (CMU) rate, investments in circular transformation, and eco-efficiency performance. The practical significance of the developments proposed by the author may serve as a foundation for the development of digital-environmental policies, cross-country benchmarking, and integration monitoring, taking into account the need for institutional readiness and the strategic reorientation of business toward sustainable digital models.

The Monograph is intended to identify occupational risk factors affecting operating room nurses, assess their impact on health complaints, and systematically search for measures to mitigate occupational risk factors affecting operating room nurses. The scientific study is characterised by various research methods, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. In this way, the Monograph is multidisciplinary, as it integrates the fields of nursing, public health, education, management, and psychology. The Monograph on these issues is the first in Lithuania, as there has not yet been an open discussion of the challenges nurses face in their professional lives. Although the study involved the participation of Lithuanian operating room nurses, the research also discusses the experiences of other countries around the world related to the professional activities of operating room nurses and the risk factors, as well as their impact on health and the mitigation of occupational risk factors. Chapter 1 outlines the development of the profession of operating room nursing and its links with the development of surgical science. It presents the current view of operating room nursing and the existing practice of training nurses and operating room nurses, focusing on the Lithuanian context. Chapter 2 describes the concept of occupational risk and the factors such as biological, chemical, ergonomic, physical, and psychosocial. It also analyses the categories of the harm that occupational risks cause to health and provides recommendations for mitigating or preventing risks. This chapter offers statistical facts on occupational riskiness. It focuses on the WHO, the United Nations, the European Union, and the Lithuanian legislation regulating the prevention or mitigation of occupational risk. Chapter 3 highlights the occupational risks that operating room nurses are exposed to, identifies the occupational risk groups relevant to the profession, specifies the factors involved, and suggests universal measures to prevent or mitigate these factors. It provides a detailed analysis of the findings of the research conducted by various researchers from around the world, revealing the ergonomic, physical, biological, and chemical occupational risk factors affecting operating room nurses, their impact on health, and the practices of mitigating occupational risk factors operating room nurses are exposed to in different countries. The chapter also discusses the challenges of addressing the physiological needs of operating room nurses in relation to the specificity of the profession. It reviews the findings of a multi-country study that point to the possibilities for mitigating or even preventing occupational risks for nurses and their connection with responsible attitudes of operating room nurses themselves, managerial-organisational and cultural factors, as well as the importance of legislation and methodological guidelines. Chapter 4 presents the methodology of the quantitative study and the psychometric quality of the research instruments, and provides a detailed review of the opinions of Lithuanian operating room nurses who participated in the survey of the expression of occupational risk factors and their impact on health. It also presents statistical calculations showing differences in occupational risk factors by sociodemographic groups and investigates the correlation between occupational risk factors and health complaints. Chapter 4 also introduces the insights of the Lithuanian operating room nurses who participated in the study on the measures and methods to prevent or mitigate occupational risk factors in their work.

Expert assessments in decision making: risks and safety
The monograph “Expert assessments in decision making: risks and safety” presents studies that address the problems of expert assessments and the formation of decisions based on expert opinions in some areas of human activity. The results of decisions based on such assessments have a direct impact on safety and the risks that may follow. The problems are considered in the following aspects. An innovative approach to the formation of a list of types of forensic examinations and expert specialties. It has been established that the existing classification of forensic examinations by branches of specific examination used in their conduct is outdated and does not meet modern requirements. This creates difficulties not only for forensic experts and persons wishing to become them, but also for the court, participants in the trial and all citizens interested in obtaining a forensic expert's opinion. A discrepancy has been established between the types of forensic examination and the specialties of experts for which the qualification of a forensic expert is assigned in departmental lists. It has been proposed to unify the interdepartmental approach to the classification of forensic examinations in order to avoid errors that could lead to illegal and unfounded court decisions. The issue of unification can be resolved by developing a general approach to the classification of types and types of forensic examinations, enshrined in an interdepartmental regulatory act, which should be based on the criteria of the general theory of forensic examination. The creation of a unified list of types of forensic examinations and their corresponding expert specialties can open up ways to solve many issues facing the expert community. Taking into account the fact that at the time it is planned to provide opinions by experts in electronic form, the creation of a forensic expert’s office and its integration with the Unified Judicial Information and Telecommunication System, the creation of a modern unified list by types of forensic examinations and their corresponding expert specialtiesis on the agenda. Blood cell image recognition using texture and neural networks for leukemia diagnosis. Morphological analysis of blood cell images is usually performed manually by an expert, but this method has many disadvantages, including slow analysis, low accuracy, and the results depend on the skill of the operator. This reduces the chance of a correct diagnosis in detecting acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a potentially fatal blood cancer if left untreated. The study developed and presented an automated method for identifying and classifying leukocytes using microscopic images of peripheral blood smears. The proposed neural random threshold classifier achieved a recognition rate of 98.3% when the data was divided into 80% training set and 20% test set. The proposed system can be implemented as a computational tool to detect other diseases in which blood cells undergo changes, such as Covid-19. This will eliminate the subjective factor that is invariably inherent in the case of assessment by experts, focusing only on their experience. Therefore, the system is important for conducting expert assessments in medical diagnostics, as part of a decision support system that reduces the likelihood of risks of incorrect diagnosis of diseases. Analysis of the capabilities of the Internet of Things in monitoring the physiological state and location of personnel on an offshore oil platform. The possibilities of using the Internet of Things (IoT) to ensure personnel safety on an offshore oil platform were explored. For this purpose, IoT applications and technologies for monitoring the physiological state and location of personnel are analyzed. The use of cloud technologies, big data technologies and artificial intelligence for the development of systems that allow monitoring and, if necessary, making appropriate decisions through systematic monitoring of personnel status is considered. The basis for decision making is expert assessments of deviations of real-time parameter values from the norm. Practical problems associated with the use of Internet of Things technologies in various areas of healthcare are presented. Methodological approaches to intelligent management of human factors on offshore oil and gas platforms. The problems of increasing the efficiency of managing the safety and health of shift workers in the offshore oil and gas industry through the prism of the human factor have been studied. The environmental features, hazards and risks, working and professional conditions in the offshore sector are taken into account. The concept of a person-centered approach to personnel safety and health management is proposed, which involves the inclusion of employees in the management loop as the main component of their contextual environment. This involves constant remote monitoring of vital health indicators of employees and, at the same time, parameters of the context-dependent environment of each of them, as well as an expert assessment of the deviation of these parameters from the norm. Decision support in a remote health monitoring system for shift workers on an offshore oil platform. A methodological approach to the synthesis of solutions in a geographically distributed intelligent health management system for oil workers working in the maritime industry is proposed. A functional model of the health management system for workers employed on offshore oil platforms has been developed and implemented in three stages: monitoring and assessment of health indicators and environmental parameters of each employee, as well as decision-making. These interacting operations integrate layers of a distributed intelligent healthcare management system. Appropriate approaches to implementing decision support processes are presented and one of the possible methods for assessing generated data and making decisions using fuzzy pattern recognition is described. Models of a fuzzy ideal image and a fuzzy real image of the employee’s health state have been developed and an algorithm for expert assessment of the deviation of the formed medical indicators from the norm is described. Expert assessment of engineering and planning solutions to improve the safety of vulnerable road users in Ukraine. The study is devoted to the analysis of the main methodological provisions for conducting an expert assessment (audit) of engineering and planning solutions, organizational and management measures to ensure road safety (RS) for vulnerable road users. The results of the study are presented in the form of the authors’ opinions on the following problems (areas of activity) in the field of road safety, which are subject to expert assessment: – the real level of road accidents among the main categories of vulnerable road users in Ukraine; – modern scientific, methodological and engineering planning approaches to the formation of individual elements of an effective and safe transport infrastructure, as well as progressive traffic management systems (TS); – the possibilities and feasibility of implementing engineering and planning solutions, organizational and management measures to improve road safety (RS).

The technology of scientific and practical communications: InGraph case study
The InGraph Platform is presented as an information-technological product's scientific and practical implementation. The logical, structural, informational, and technological implementation of this Platform provides a usable service to all subjects of scientific activity who create scientific works and use them: authors, reviewers, as well as end users engaged in science and practice. The platform's mechanisms, which enable the interaction of all its users with each other, form the technology of scientific and practical communications on the principle «everyone gets what s/he needs, at a minimal time cost». Such technology, implemented through the Platform, creates the following possibilities for its users: self-realization, altruistic opportunities, social prospects, economic opportunities, and organizational capabilities. This allows us to argue about the multi-vector nature of the Platform, which creates an alternative model for the dissemination of scientific knowledge. The InGraph Platform's concept implements the transition from a one-dimensional model of «scientist for scientist» or «science for science» to a two-dimensional model of «science for improving human well-being», thereby emphasizing the provision of practical needs based on the results of research as a priority for science. Such needs can be considered in the context of improving human well-being. Opportunities for users to find and receive the scientific and practical information they need are realized owing to the developed principle based on three-level access to content. The developed feedback mechanism implemented on the Platform makes it possible to assess the objectivity of reviewers and offer opportunities for rating scientists, teams, and institutions while creating a comfort zone for users of scientific content. It also prevents events associated with the evaluation of content by incompetent users and minimizes the risks of collusion schemes between subjects of scientific activity. The proposed procedure for assessing the price of scientific works submitted by authors on the basis of closed access, in the form of a function of their scientific quality and level of scientific novelty, makes it possible to implement the transparency of the formation of the cost of scientific content. The transactional mechanism of the Platform implements such a system of distribution of goods in which the dominant role is given to the authors of scientific works. Authors, at the same time, always have the opportunity to personally choose whether to provide their works in closed or open access, without any payment for publication in the latter case.

Global Determinants of the International Movement of Production Factors: Economic-legal and Institutional Context
Scientific research is devoted to current problems of the influence of globalization on changes in the international movement of production factors in the 21st century. Considerable attention is focused on the economic, legal and institutional aspects of the transformation of the international movement of capital and labor in modern conditions, taking into account the need to apply an integrated interdisciplinary approach to identify new phenomena and processes that occur in the global economic environment The state and trends of development in the organization of global production, investment and marketing in the context of destabilizing phenomena in the global economy, the strengthening of non-protectionist appeals in the world avant-garde countries to return production to the national territory and the exacerbation of social and economic problems caused by international migration are revealed. The authors are looking for answers to difficult questions about the opportunities for small open economies to be attracted to global value chains through the format of investment and contractual relations, to increase the level of localization of international and national production through import substitution, to optimize the taxation of entrepreneurial activities in a liberalized international capital transfer, transform the national regulatory policy as a mechanism that ensures the possibility of taking into account the imperatives of globalization and contributes to the protection of national economic interests, ensure the development of fair competition as a prerequisite for the country’s integration into world economic processes.

The monograph is devoted to the development of methodological and institutional framework for the formation of fiscal policy to ensure social development. The essence and role of budget regulation in supporting the processes of endogenous economic growth are revealed. The experience of the implementation of fiscal policy in countries with developed and transformational economies is systematized. The directions of increasing the efficiency and strengthening the regulatory potential of the state tax policy are proposed. An assessment of the tax burden on labor and consumption in 2001–2017 is carried out; a comparative analysis of the values of the corresponding indicators in Ukraine and the European Union member countries is carried out. The factors that affect the fiscal significance of the value added tax, excise tax, income tax, personal income tax are identified. Provisions for enhancing the effectiveness of the institutional architectonics of the budget system are improved. Directions for improving the efficiency of budget expenditures are substantiated. The analysis of the influence of the main factors on the dynamics of changes in the ratio of public debt to GDP is carried out; it is established that inflation affected the most, and the exchange rate influenced the increase. An approach to assessing the state of debt security of the country is proposed, the conceptual framework for managing the budget deficit and public debt is defined. Provisions for the implementation of long-term budget planning and forecasting are developed. Institutional framework for the formation of the budget strategy is improved. The conceptual foundations of state financial support for human development are defined. A long-term budget strategy is developed, taking into account the cyclical nature of economic development. The conducted scientific research allows identifying the possibilities of positive influence of the budget policy on social development in the context of improving the quality of the institutional environment.

Applied problems of motion of mechanical systems under action of power loads
The monograph is devoted to the development of mechanical systems with dynamic effects on processing media. A new approach and methodology is proposed, taking into account the influence of energy fields of physical and me-chanical effects, the transformation and inversion of types of energy exposure. The model of dispersed media under consideration in the range of the process of destruction, grinding and compaction is considered. The revealed changes in the parameters of subsystems: working media, mechanical systems, the process-es of their interaction are studied based on the consideration of their stress-strain state. The analysis of combinations and their influence on the intensity of phy-sical and mechanical processes is carried out. The intensification of physical and mechanical processes, methods and means of their creation are achieved by the formulated idea: systematization and complexity of approaches through a joint consideration of the mutual influence of the internal properties of the subsys-tems made it possible to identify the general laws of their changes and take them into account in the work process. The movement of the working media during high-speed and impact destruction with differentiation of the working area is de-scribed. Structuring of the shock process, the formation of entropy destruction, the use of self-organization and the evolution of geometric shapes are evaluated. The process of grinding materials by a vibratory jaw crusher is investigated and methods for determining the effective parameters and their operation modes are proposed. The process of compaction of the processing medium in the field of vibrations in the device with spatial vibrations is described. The laws of change in the device movement, taking into account interaction with the processing medium are established. As a research result, new properties of the behavior of discrete-continuous systems under power load are disclosed. For the first time, stresses and strains are taken into account as working bodies and media for creating energy-saving vibration systems for compaction of building materials. The conducted scientific study makes it possible to obtain the laws of change in the state of dispersed media under the action of power loads by mechanical sys-tems. Minimization of energy costs and increase the efficiency of work processes is proposed when implementing various technological processes.
