Mangroves are considered ideal ecosystems for Blue Carbon projects. However, because of their short stature, some mangroves (‘scrub’ mangroves, less than 2 m) do not fulfil the current definition of ‘forests’, which makes them ineligible for emission reduction programmes such as REDD+. Short stature mangroves can be the dominant form of mangroves in arid and nutrient-poor landscapes, and emissions from their deforestation and degradation could be substantial. Here, we describe a Blue Carbon project in the Gulf of California, Mexico, to illustrate that projects that avoid emissions from deforestation and degradation could provide financial resources to protect mangroves that cannot be included in other emission reduction programmes. The goal of the project is to protect 16 058 ha of mangroves through conservation concessions from the Mexican Federal Government. The cumulative avoided emissions of the project are 2.84 million Mg CO 2 over 100 years, valued at $US 426 000 per year (US$15 per Mg CO 2 in the California market). The funds could be used for community-based projects that will improve mangrove management, such as surveillance, eradication of invasive species, rehabilitation after tropical storms and environmental education. The strong institutional support, secure financial status, community engagement and clear project boundaries provide favourable conditions to implement this Blue Carbon project. Financial resources from Blue Carbon projects, even in mangroves of short stature, can provide substantial resources to enhance community resilience and mangrove protection.

The paper is dedicated to the problems of identification and diagnostics of the enterprise financial status. The main attention is paid to the methods of assessing the current financial status of the enterprise. The author’s definition of financial status of the enterprise is performed in the paper, as a result of the analysis of current variants of that concept determinations. The financial status of the enterprise is determined in the paper as a multiple enterprise characteristic which includes current incoming, distribution and investment financial resources. The diagnosis of financial status is defined in the article as an evaluation of incoming, distribution and investment of financial resources of the enterprise with indicators that comprehensively characterize its current activities. The factors of capital structure, liquidity and cash flow effectiveness is proposed in the paper as indicators of the enterprise financial status. which can be used to provide the diagnostics. The integrated indicators of enterprise financial status and its current effectiveness (which based on enterprise cash flow factors) is presented in the paper in order to summarize the results of financial status diagnostics. This approach illustrates the important choice of enterprise between such alternatives as: a) accelerated development and financial risks; b) financial stability and limited capital growth. The final result of the paper is the matrix called «financial state-efficiency of activity» which allows to get interpretation of the concluding diagnostics procedures. Key features of the matrix application are similar to those used to substantiate managerial decisions in the strategic management. The practical implementation of this matrix allows the enterprise to ensure equilibrium between development (by increasing current liabilities) and improvement of enterprise financial positions (by increasing the value of liquid assets and optimization of capital structure). The results of the paper can be used to improve the financial status of enterprises, regardless of its sectoral specificity.

Social care refers to work that involves connecting with other people and trying to help them meet their needs, such as caring for children, the elderly, and sick people. Teaching is also a form of caring labor, whether it is paid or unpaid. Social care is a unique type of work. Since social care does not generate financial resources and does not contribute to economic production as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the classical definition of work has not considered it as proper work (Folbre, 2006).

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of an epic novel, a unique genre phenomenon that arose in Russian literature of the 19th century. While the West European novel lost its national breadth and depth, the Russian novel was able to maintain an epic dominance, revived many of the signs and characteristics of ancient epics based on the material of modern life. The basis for the revival of an epic novel based on Russian soil was: the nature of Russian realism, a special understanding by Russian writers of man and his role, as well as religious consciousness and collegiality. The author of the article discusses the meanings of the definition of “epic”, the concept of “epic”, shows the need for their rapprochement based on the disclosure of the features of the epic novel. The article analyzes the views of literary scholars of the 20th century, which came close to the need to highlight such a dominant form of the Russian novel of the second half of the 19th century, but due to ideological and political trends did not determine the most important foundations of the epic novel. The work outlines the need to study the totality of the artistic world of the epic novel, the special objectivity of Russian writers, which allowed them to come to global and universal problems. The phenomenon of the epic novel is largely due to the precedent picture of the world, the conscious choice of a character between personal, selfish and popular principles in favor of the latter.

The article reveals the role of the process of attracting sources of funding for activities. Depending on the source of financing and the method of attracting them, three main financing mechanisms are identified: counterparty, credit and capital market. The peculiarities and advantages of some ways of attracting financing are identified and analyzed. Also, the mechanism of planning of attraction of financial resources considering a real financial position of the enterprise is formed. It is proved that in conditions of fierce competition the company's growth rate has a key impact on the factors of the company's continued existence in the market. The formation of a base for attracting investment in advance provides a stable and affordable source of funds for further expansion. An algorithm for forming the capital structure considering the current financial and economic condition of the enterprise has been developed. Opportunities for the company's growth are directly related to the availability of financial resources that can be obtained from various sources. The decision to use certain sources influences time and financial costs for obtaining and securing borrowed capital and for the diversification of government entities over the company, which to some extent pursue their own goals. Therefore, when building a financial strategy of the enterprise it is important to rationally and pragmatically approach the definition of ways to use financial resources and combine different sources of business financing. The effectiveness of the entire financial strategy of the enterprise largely depends on how correctly and in detail the choice of capital structure was worked out. Using the company's management of the proposed algorithm for the formation of capital structure optimization stage, as well as in the implementation phase of expansion with external sources funded, will allow the company to better attract and use the attracted financial resources without losing the investment attractiveness for future creditors and investors and not losing trust from other financially interested stakeholders.

Abstract. The article suggests methodological support for the management of financial resources of domestic enterprises based on the definition of the key issues of financial management and its adaptation to existing economic conditions. It has been found out that for the construction of an effective system of financial resources management, it is advisable to take into account the following requirements: the existence of causal relationships between the elements of the system; dynamism, ability to change the qualitative state; possession of a parameter, the influence of which makes it possible to change the course of the economic process. It has been noted that when developing a budgeting system at an enterprise, it is always necessary to take into account the main limiting factors affecting the financial activity of an economic entity from which the budget calculation should begin. Determination of the preliminary set of budget indicators has been identified as the main task of designing a comprehensive budgeting system as a component of the financial resource management system. In order to guarantee the use of effective indicators by all participants in this process, it is necessary to simultaneously apply the principles of design «top-down» and «bottom-up». It has been pointed out that debt obligations are currently a big problem for domestic enterprises. The proposed methods of debt management allow managing the financial resources of the entity based on the definition of key positions of financial management. It has also been mentioned that one of the most important elements of the financial resources management system of an enterprise is risk management, which becomes an integral element and a subsystem of the strategic management of an economic entity. In turn, one of the most important elements of the risk management system in an enterprise is the assessment of financial risks. It has been noted that modern enterprises have the opportunity to use a wide range of methods for assessing financial risks, among which are such clusters of methods as statistical, analytical and expert. The conclusion has been made that in conditions of economic and social instability, economic entities should pay special attention to an integrated system of budgeting and risk management, since at present these two areas are the most important components of the effective management of financial resources of an enterprise. Keywords: financial resources management, enterprise, methodological support, assessment, level. JEL Classification M11, M31 Formulas: 9; fig.: 3; tabl.: 1; bibl.: 10.
