This article is devoted to solving the actual problem of forming a system of criteria for selecting an indirect costs allocation base. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to determine the criteria for selecting an indirect costs allocation base in industrial enterprises. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, generalization, thought experiment, tabular method, and graphical representation. In the result of using these methods, six criteria for selecting an allocation base were identified. For each of the criteria, a description and justification of its choice were given. Negative consequences were described in the form of cost distortions depending on the selected allocation base. The theoretical significance of this research is to develop cost allocation methods in terms of certainty of process of a choice of the allocation base. The practical significance of the article is the development of clear and unambiguous criteria, the use of which in the process of organizing cost accounting in terms of selecting the allocation base will increase the objectivity and provability of the result obtained. This article will be useful for researchers working in the field of developing the theoretical foundations of accounting and cost management, as well as practitioners in the field of management accounting, as well as managers at various levels.

This article is devoted to a review of the theoretical foundations and methodological approaches to solving the problem of assessing the negative consequences for human health caused by anthropogenic environmental impacts. The authors analyze the goals, internal motives and types of damage assessments carried out by various researchers, determine the projections and measurements of the socio-economic category of damage. The study shows the main stages of the basic algorithm for the valuation of health damage. Two main methodological approaches to assessment are disclosed: the calculation of costs due to the negative impact and the assessment of the willingness to pay for risk prevention. The history of the emergence of these approaches, theoretical foundations, advantages and disadvantages, internal structure and logic of work are presented. In particular, with regard to the approach based on the determination of the cost of disease, the categories of cost directions that form its internal structure, research prospects and competing approaches to determining the cost of indirect costs are disclosed. In relation to the willingness to pay approach, a decomposition of economic terms is presented that determine the amount that the respondent is willing to pay for the agreed risk reduction. The basic economic components of the utility category for determining the willingness to pay have been determined. Analyzing various approaches to assessing damage, the authors make an attempt to determine the areas of their possible application in the implementation of scientific research and applied developments. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the publication of research results, assumptions were made about the development trends of the two prevailing methodological approaches to assessing damage to human health in the world and in Russia, with substantiation of the underlying causes. A forecast has been made on the further evolution of the methodology for assessing damage to human health from adverse environmental impacts in Russia.

Formulation of the problem. Formulation of the problem. In the context of an increased level of uncertainty and variability of the organizational and economic environment, the significance and influence of various kinds of pathologies of a social nature (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, all kinds of color revolutions, etc.), which have significant negative consequences for the functioning of society and its most important structures, has increased. The purpose of the article is to characterize the set of socio-economic factors in Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The object of the research is the socio-economic processes of the development of the economy of Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The methods used in the research are logical, comparative, analytical, scientific and methodological. The research hypothesis is based on the assumption that there is a dependence of the cost of restoring the ecological balance on the volume of national non-financial production assets. Presentation of the main material. The use of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress, such as comprehensive digitalization and modeling of the most important factors and trends of social development, can resist the impact of modern negative challenges. The article analyzes and simulates some of the most important parameters of the functioning of the Uzbek economy, the results of which can be used in developing a strategy of actions in priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The originality and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the author substantiates the relationship between the diseases of a modern person and unfavorable environmental conditions arising from his own fault. Conclusions of the study. Thus, as a result of the studies, it became obvious that the factors of social development and the socio-economic trends arising as a result of their action can be divided into two large groups: the first should include factors and trends of a negative nature associated with the action of all kinds of social pathologies; the second group, on the contrary, includes positive factors and trends, primarily associated with the progressive influence of scientific and technological progress, including with such an important modern direction as the all-round digitalization of society.

Objective: Analysis of socio-spatial segregation phenomenon of Kyiv residential districts. Methodology: The methodology is based on the application of techniques and methods of sociological research, in particular, questioning. Also, the study used the methods of comparison, analysis, generalization and synthesis. Scientific novelty: The actual problem of modern big city was discovered during this research. Under this problem we mean social-spatial segregation, as the division in the perception of city residents of the city space into zones according to the place of certain social groups, that differ in some characteristics. Although for Ukraine, and Kiev in particular, this phenomenon is quite new, because in Soviet times, social inequality was poorly observed, and segregation in the housing sector did not exist at all. But with the development of market relations in post-Soviet Ukraine, cities began to change. The cost of housing estate starts to depend on the prestige of the area, its comfort and elitism. As a result, residence becomes a determining factor in income and success. Results: A sociological survey was conducted regarding the quality of residential microdistricts of Kyiv. We asked 326 people, who are mostly residents of the capital and the Kyiv agglomeration (95.5%). The results turned out to be quite expected, in particular, it was found that the historical center, including Pechersk, Lipki, Podil, and Old Kiev, are leading by the categories "prestige" and "rich population". In the category of "least prestigious" and "most criminal" lead the residential districts of Troyeshchyna, DVRZ, Borschagivka, Akademmistechko, Lisovy and others. The neighborhoods most frequently mentioned by our respondents were analyzed. Practical significance: The main results and conclusions that was made in this work can be used in further in-depth studies of problems related to socio-spatial segregation. The results of the research will also be useful to complement the content of the disciplines taught to urban and geographic students.

The purpose of this paper is to look into the challenges of management of indirect costs in business organizations and to propose solutions to those problems. The paper starts with an introduction to the importance of understanding the concept of overhead costs and why it is often crucial for the management of the business organizations to classify, analyze and manage them. Particular problems to the allocation of indirect costs arise when supporting departments provide mutual services to each other. In these situation the management has two options – to ignore the mutual provision of services and account for the overheads as if there were no such services or to use simple cost allocation methods. This approach might not lead to reliable information required for taking sound management decision. With the advancement of technologies, the problem of obtaining timely and reliable information about the cost structure of cost objects (products, services, departments, etc.) could be resolved in an effective and efficient way using a third option. Namely, the utilization of mathematical methods for indirect cost allocation. The author performed a survey among managers of business organizations exploring whether they would use this approach and the results turned out to be positive.


The article is devoted to reengineering of technological processes - a method of their qualitative transformation on an innovative basis, which in turn assumes the availability of tools that make it possible to establish the economic efficiency and technical capability of such transformations of construction production, to identify the effect of their implementation. In this regard, the problem of forming a parametric model of reengineering of construction technological processes, which involves four enlarged groups of indicators that reflect the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the processes: materials used, working time, machine time, spatial organization, is considered. It is established that parameters can have either an absolute (physical, cost) or relative (point, percentage) expression and also make their own decomposition. The practical significance of the provisions given in the article is determined by the development of methods of technical rationing, which leads to a reduction in the cost and duration of construction.

The forced work of Russian universities remotely in the context of the pandemic (COVID-19) has generated a lot of discussion about the benefits of the new form of education. The first results were summed up and reports were presented, the materials of which showed that the main goal of online education — the prevention of the spread of infection, - has been achieved. Against this background, proposals and publications have appeared substantiating the effectiveness of the massive introduction of distance learning in Russia, including in higher education. However, the assessment of such training by the population and students in publications and in social networks was predominantly negative and showed that the number of emerging problems exceeds the possible benefits of the new educational technology. Based on the analysis of the materials of publications and personal experience of teaching online, the potential benefits and problems of distance learning in higher education in Russia are considered. It is proposed to consider the effects separately for the suppliers of new technology (government, universities) and consumers (students, teachers, society). It is substantiated that the massive introduction of online education allows not only to reduce the negative consequences of epidemics, but also to reduce budgetary funding for universities, optimize the age composition of teachers, and reduce the cost of maintaining educational buildings. However, there will be a leveling / averaging of the quality of education, and responsibility for the quality of training will shift from the state/universities to students. The critical shortcomings of online education are the low degree of readiness of the digital infrastructure, the lack of a mechanism for identifying and monitoring the work of students, information security problems, and the lack of trust in such training of the population. The massive use of online education creates a number of risks for the country, the most critical of which is the destruction of the higher education system and a drop in the effectiveness of personnel training. The consequences of this risk realization are not compensated by any possible budget savings.
