The article defines the essence of the concept of "public management of education quality". The author emphasizes that public quality management of education is a practical activity of public authorities aimed at creating conditions for the implementation of quality educational process, satisfaction of citizens' rights to quality education, ensuring effective social development with appropriate resources in the field of education. Public administration is primarily a function of public authorities in the practical implementation of the course. It is substantiated that the state policy in the field of education is determined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and implemented by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the central executive body in the field of education and science, other central executive bodies and local governments. First of all, in order to control and assess the quality of education, a public authority was established - the State Quality Service of Education of Ukraine. It is proved that ensuring the quality of education is one of the main conditions for mobility, compatibility and attractiveness of the education system of any country. The main tools and procedures of the state education quality management are singled out, in particular: licensing, accreditation, standardization, public accreditation of educational institutions, institutional audit, monitoring of education quality, attestation of pedagogical workers, certification of pedagogical workers, public supervision. It is determined that an important role in the quality management of education is given to the accreditation of educational programs. The procedure is to assess the educational program for its compliance with the standard of education, as well as the ability of the educational institution to ensure that students achieve the knowledge, skills and abilities required by the requirements of the educational program.

The population health indicator, which has an impact on the development of labor potential and its demographic component, has been studied. A correlation analysis of the factors influencing the state of health of the population was performed. It has been proven that there is a strong relationship between life expectancy as an indicator of health and the factors that characterize the health care system, economic development of the state, quality of food and lifestyle. Spatial econometric models of the relationship between effective variable life expectancy and factor characteristics of different nature based on statistical material from 38 European countries were created. The obtained models have high values of adequacy and accuracy criteria, as well as satisfactory predictive quality.

Background: The modern system of state quality control over medicine makes it possible to reveal and withdraw drugs, that do not meet the requirements. However the problem of the turnover of substandard and fake drug and their destruction in the Russian Federation is still urgent. The aim of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of state quality control over medicine and the practice of fake medicine destruction. Methods: data of the official websites of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Republic of North Ossetia — Alania, Russian Sanitary Inspection, National Center of Quality control and Certification of Drugs were included in the investigation. Method of unrepeated samples was used in sociological investigations. 225 questionnaires have been worked out. The research was carried out in the North-Ossetian State Medical academy during the period from 2013 to 2015 with the help of the National Center of Quality Control and Certification of Drugs. Results: The shortcomings of the state quality control over the rules of fake drug destruction were studied. It was found out that the mechanism of permanent data collection monitoring of revealing, moving and destruction of substandard and fake drug destruction has not been determined. The ineffectiveness of controlling measures under the condition of critical legal base deficiency has been confirmed. The analysis of terminology characterizing the order of fake drug destruction was carried out. Conclusion: deficiencies related to the implementation of the state quality control over the fake drug destruction rules revealed during the course of investigations prove the necessity of adopting measures in creating new model of control functions, increasing the results of activity.

The results of a generalized analysis of the assessment of the development of socio-economic systemsof the region, carried out according to the documents of strategies and development plans in comparisonwith the actual achievements of the development strategies of the Dnipropetrovsk region. The analysis wascarried out according to statistical reporting and analytical reports on the results of the implementation ofregional development projects and analytical notes of experts. The system failure of these projects is shown.Among the factors influencing the state, the lack of timely, high-quality and full assessment of the results ofthe development processes was identified. The analysis used expert and statistical information indicators ofperformance, their total and index comparison, estimates of the dynamics of changes and integral estimates.and index comparisons, the dynamics of their changes without analyzing the causes of negative deviationsare used. It is determined that there is no single information and analytical basis for the methodologicalassessment of results. Based on the processing of scientific, legislative sources and practical information onthe selection and justification of development strategies and plans, the results of a generalized analysis ofthe state of socio-economic development and the implementation of project activities in the Dnipropetrovskregion are presented. It is noted that the methodological tools of analysis use only expert and statisticalindicators, their total and index comparisons and the dynamics of changes without analyzing the causes ofnegative deviations. There is no single information base for the assessment methodology. The necessity ofcombining the implementation of one-time and episodic measures to assess the state, quality and effectivenessof development processes with the systematic implementation of analytical measures is shown. Attention isdrawn to the need to increase the competencies of persons carrying out analysis and assessment of the state ofdevelopment processes and formulate conclusions on the development of territorial communities. It is provedthat qualitative assessment should be considered as the main tool to increase managerial impact on the impactof development processes by creating a single integrated information-analytical assessment system usingmathematical models, computer technologies and their software.

Considerable work has considered the place of pets in humans’ lives, although most of this research takes for granted that pets are certain animals. While these perspectives provide insight into the character of human-nonhuman relationships, the assumptions underlying such research frequently invest in a conception of pets as having essential qualities. This paper explores the possibility that petness, which can generally be defined as the state, quality or conditions under which a pet is constituted, arises from socially constructed relations and the treatment of objects. Using the example of virtual pets I will argue that there is no essential ‘petness’ to anything and that petness is a social construct. More specifically, I contend that pets are the product of the investment of human emotion into objects. After outlining how such treatment is not exclusive to the animals that live close to us, but is similarly exhibited toward inanimate entities as well as other sentient creatures, I will conclude with some discussion of how pet relations can be understood in the context of late capitalism.
