At present, all components of the environment are burdened by human activities. These human activities have caused many environmental problems, and without appropriate measures, they will have other far-reaching consequences in the future, which may be irreversible. One of the basic measures for the sustainable future of the environment and human society is to build the environmental awareness of the population. In addition to other entities, universities and their students and graduates have an important role in this process. The study focuses on the evaluation and comparison of environmental awareness and its factors among students of the University of Presov in Presov, Slovakia. Based on the results of this research, social networks and the internet are used as the main source of environmental information and should be used as a means of raising environmental awareness among students.

The topicality of the article is substantiated by the significant demographic problems, which are the consequence of the transformation in traditional stereotypes of women’s reproductive behavior, the change in models of family relations, and the decline of the maternity value in the society. This determines the problem of forming readiness for motherhood in young women. The author points out that the problem of forming readiness for motherhood is not sufficiently developed from the pedagogical point of view, which contradicts to the historically established national traditions of educative teaching of motherhood in the family and in the education system. Special emphasis is placed on the reduction of readiness to become a mother among women who receive professional education and realize themselves in the profession. The potential of the educational process of the university in solving the problem of forming the readiness of female students for motherhood is indicated. The author’s understanding of the essence and structure of readiness for motherhood as a complex psychological and pedagogical phenomenon is proposed. A set of criteria and indicators of female students’ readiness for motherhood has been developed, taking into account its formation in the conditions of the university educational process. The selection of diagnostic methods is made, which allow identifying the formation of all aspects of the readiness of university students for motherhood. The studied phenomenon is characterized by the author at the high, sufficient, medium and low levels of its formation. The developed criteria and diagnostic base can be considered as the foundation for conducting the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment, analysis of the reasons that negatively affect the unfinished level of formation of readiness for motherhood in female students, and determining the pedagogical conditions for the effective formation of the studied phenomenon in the educational process of the university. Keywords: motherhood, readiness for motherhood, educational training, educational process of the university, criteria and diagnostic basis for the study of the university students’ readiness for motherhood

In modern conditions the university acts as a subject in the market of educational services. As a result, in order to maintain competitiveness, it doesn’t just have to provide high-quality education, but also to conduct an effective advertising campaign. The article analyzes methods of agitation and advertising campaigns used by NAU «KhAI» based on the interpretation of sociological research results on the topic: “Motivational characteristics of «Law» specialty students who entered KhAI in 2017-2018”. According to the results of the study, one can conclude that the field of battle for the minds of entrants moved into the virtual space. Now the university's website is its business card, its "face". Creation of a virtual image and its maintenance become a priority area because the logic of humanity development is moving in this direction. Thus, traditional forms such as advertising on radio, television, newspapers and magazines are economically ineffective in comparison to advertising in the Internet. As for the content of the website, the first priority should be placed to detailed information of the specialties, content of the training courses, opportunities for studying applied sciences, description of the areas of application of the knowledge, skills, and competences. Full and up-to-date information on the website creates the image of the university that is keeping up to the times. Such website shows the university that meets modern requirements and is capable to provide high-quality education. This is extremely important in the face of fierce competition not only in the Ukrainian but also in the global educational services market. Some of the features of our mentality should be mentioned too. Numerous studies indicate extremely low level of trust in official institutions in our society. Instead we believe in the immediate surroundings, and therefore the point of view “Reviews of friends, parents, relatives” definitely will be among the leaders. But now, the Internet as a reliable source has gained a leading position as well. This fact should be, firstly, taken into account, and, secondly, used, and we mean not only official websites, but also blogs, Internet advertising, etc. On the other hand the significance of the "human factor" has increased a lot. Professional guidance work in schools with potential entrants has a positive effect. It is also necessary to emphasize the importance of selection committee staff work. While making their choice, graduates and their parents want to get advice from a university employee, and the quality of this consultation strongly affects the final decision to enter the university.

The protection of fundamental rights has become an axiom that no longer requires the luxury of argumentation. From another point of view, the protection of human rights on the Internet is only emerging. This is all the more so, as the internet plays an important role in people’s daily lives and in all aspects of human society. The impact of the Internet on social, economic and cultural activity is also growing. The scientific research will be devoted to the following aspects related to meetings and participations in the digital space in the Republic of Moldova: (1) freedom to choose web pages, applications or other services for setting up, joining, mobilizing and participating in groups and social assemblies; (2) the right to peaceful online protest; (3) freedom to use available online tools to participate in local, national and global public policy debates, legislative initiatives and public elections.
