A theoretical and analytical study of the national science development as a key factor in the development of society is done. The data published in articles devoted to science and action is shown. The analysis of the principles of supporting the development of science by the authorities is given; their systematic non-fulfillment, which leads to deteriorating conditions for the establishing sustainable potential movement and growth of the pace of development of science, is proved. The dynamic indicators of number of people, involved in science, the cost of the state to the scientific branch and other indicators of state statistical reporting of scientific results. Their insufficiency was noted for obtaining a consensus on the state of science and a proposal was made to expand their composition.The subject-objects of the scientific space of the country and documents reflecting the vision of the strategic course of the development of science, directions, stages and components, etc. are analyzed. Their inadequate organizational, institutional and substantive substantiation, late timing of development and observance is proved.The scheme of the through process of training of personnel potential of science is presented. A key factor in the development of the scientific system is the concept and the strategy for development of science. Their development, according to the author, should be carried out through using models of institutional, organizational, managerial, and structural-process approaches. Their development and implementation will create conditions for the establishing of close vertical and horizontal cooperation and integration of efforts and resources of the authorities and subjects of the scientific sphere to increase the efficiency of the activities in the system of science and whole competitiveness of the country. The general structure of the main components of the alternative project of the national strategy for the development of Ukrainian science is proposed.Future scientific developments in this direction should be the study of mechanisms of multisubjective interaction and cooperation between authorities, subjects and participants of scientific activities in the internal sphere of science and the environment on the basis of cooperation agreements and also taking into account the interests of all subjects of the scientific potential and their resource opportunities.

The relevance of the study is that effective public administration constitutes one of the most important factors in the progressive development of the modern state. An important condition for the productive functioning of public authorities is public administration, which acts as a holistic scientific system of organisation of activities. Assessing the effectiveness of public administration decisions is necessary for both public authorities and society. It helps civil servants to control and improve the management process, and helps the society to assess the quality of public institutions. The lack of objective generally accepted indicators for assessing socio-economic processes, the work of bodies and institutions is one of the main problems that hinder the efficiency of the state mechanism. At present, there are no well-established approaches to assessing the effectiveness of public administration decisions. The solution to this problem is a more detailed study of scientific knowledge regarding the system and mechanisms of evaluation. The purpose of the study is to analyse the main modern approaches and mechanisms for evaluating the effectiveness of public administration decisions. The concept of performance evaluation as a complex process is currently the most prevalent and used by modern scientists. Ensuring efficiency is a difficult task for public administration. The diversity of the system requires the use of rational approaches and the creation of differentiated evaluation criteria. The components of the evaluation system in the context of globalisation affect the effectiveness and efficiency and require continuous improvement. The use of special tools and technologies provide flexibility of government decisions and internal integrity, leading to rapid change in the state. mainstreaming of the efficiency improvement and quality of evaluation of public administration decisions directly affects the socio-economic development of the state and improvement of the welfare of the population. The use of evaluation results allows to identify existing problems in a timely manner, to find ways to solve them, improving management by improving the efficiency of public administration at all stages. The practical significance lies in the use of research results in the activities of individual public administration bodies, which will allow to modernise the effectiveness of evaluation of public administration decisions and the management system in general

When to make a decision is a key question in decision making problems characterized by uncertainty. In this paper we deal with decision making in environments where information arrives dynamically. We address the tradeoff between waiting and stopping strategies. On the one hand, waiting to obtain more information reduces uncertainty, but it comes with a cost. Stopping and making a decision based on an expected utility reduces the cost of waiting, but the decision is based on uncertain information. We propose an optimal algorithm and two approximation algorithms. We prove that one approximation is optimistic - waits at least as long as the optimal algorithm, while the other is pessimistic - stops not later than the optimal algorithm. We evaluate our algorithms theoretically and empirically and show that the quality of the decision in both approximations is near-optimal and much faster than the optimal algorithm. Also, we can conclude from the experiments that the cost function is a key factor to chose the most effective algorithm.

The article is devoted to the study of problematic aspects in the publication of materials in journals indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science by scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine believes that it is not necessary to rely on quantitative indicators (it is even necessary to abandon them), and the place of publication of the article should be unimportant. At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Science establishes norms according to which it is impossible to obtain a scientific title, academic degree and be a member of a specialized scientific council without publications in scientometric databases Web of Science and / or Scopus. In the field of social communications (journalism) the problem is exacerbated by the fact that in Ukraine there are no professional journals that would be included in such scientometric databases. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the components of the modern problem of approbation of scientific results in scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science (in the field of «journalism»). To achieve this goal, we set the following tasks: to analyze the regulations, which contain instructions / advice / guidelines / standards for publication in the journals of the database Scopus and Web of Science; to identify the attitude of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers working in the field of «journalism» to the problem of approbation of scientific results in such journals; identify motives and obstacles to the publication of articles in indexed journals. The main result of the article is to highlight the following problematic aspects: ambiguous position and strategy of the state to measure the quantity and quality of scientific papers; lack of encouragement of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers to publish in indexed publications with simultaneous compulsion to publish there; high cost of publication and lack of any support from the state in publishing articles; low quality of scientific works submitted to such publications and non-recognition of this problem by the community.

Introduction .With a significant number of water bodies in Ukraine (only 2,000 small rivers), the descriptive characteristics of the ecological situation occupy a significant amount, which requires unification and encryption. Dr.Ph. Klymenko M.O, Dr. Ph. Gryb J.V. made the unification of research materials by blocks: type of basin-morphometric of the catchment surface, floodplains and riverbeds - quality of the aquatic environment - production characteristics - socio-demographic - block of economic analysis of profitability in river basins and cluster costs analysis of the state of the components of the ecosystem and assessment of the basin as a whole. The study of individual elements of the water basin (composition and quality of the aquatic environment, the state of the catchment surface, ichthyofauna, forage base of aboriginal ichthyofauna, the impact of economic activity) provides some information. There is a significant array of surface water monitoring data (hydrochemistry, ecology, hydrobiology, ichthyology, etc.), attributed to the middle and end of the twentieth century. Here it should be noted the works of Kononenko G.D., Gryb J.V., Alekseevsky V.E, Baranovsky V.A, Klymenko M.O, Tsvetova O.V, Sondaka V.V, Chernyavskaya A. P., Zhukinsky V.N and others. They established the regional features of the chemical regime of surface waters, developed a methodology for assessing the quality of surface waters and the state of transformation of the catchment surface, the peculiarities of the formation of crisis situations. Dr.Ph. Gryb J.V. researches of a chemical mode of surface waters on phases of a hydrological mode for the period from 1970 to 2000 are carried out. Kononenko G.D. conducted mapping of the territory of Ukraine by the main ions of the mineral composition of water. The State Institute of Eastern and Northern Europe (Germany) together with the Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the basis of applied research of Ukrainian scientists: Rudenko L.G., Chernyavska A.P., Gryb J.V. with the participation of scientists G. Friedline, G.A. Vernichenko, T.P .Balashova, I.P. Semenova conducted a study of the state of rivers in Ukraine and drew up a map of water quality and suitability for use (1995). A map of soils of Ukraine, stock-forming and underlying rocks was also issued. Purpose . Among the important scientific results of the study is the need for unification and unification of river basins. Methodology According to the EU framework directive, the river basin and its elements are accepted as a unit of spatial research of water bodies: channel, floodplain, accessory network (number of intermediate ecotones). These include the following elements of the basin: first-order currents, second-order tributaries, floodplain. Old villages, floodplain lakes, swamps, meadows, springs, as well as subsystems of the catchment area: forest, water mirror, plowed and barren lands, urban areas and infrastructure. Assessment of the condition is carried out on three levels: good, satisfactory, bad. Collectively, the water basin is accepted as a biome that shapes the quality of surface waters, their productivity, diversity of flora and fauna. The hydrographic network itself forms the landscape and connects its elements through hydro-ecological corridors - river systems. The following mathematical dependences are used in the creation of the bio-skeleton framework of the water basin, with the increase of the values of the characteristics the value of the golden root r1 is 1.68 with the decrease of r2 - 0.68. In the pentosystem series of characteristics (classes) the numbers of phyto-swings for biological processes 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 are used. Results. An example of encryption of field research materials of the Lviv River (a tributary of the first order of the Pryt River) is presented in formula (1) АП; R1; Z3; Z42; E1; L; Ie; b5 5; R3; Ke5; St 3,0. (1) Plain part of Ukraine, Western Polissya region, Dnieper river basin, main canal, regulated, one intermediate Eco tone (channel reservoir), water is weakly mineralized, channel is straight , water quality class one, fish productivity is weak, the state of the basin is over drying, stability is low (low water, segmentation of the channel by locks, protective sand from unaligned slopes of the shore). Similarly, other blocks can be coded. In the perspective owe will obtain the results of the correlation with the conclusions of other scientists, in particular Klymenko M.O., Gryba J.V. and others. Thanks to encrypting the data by blocks of pool structure, we can unify the methods of research, facilitating the work of researchers and students. Conclusions 1. The economic and ecological framework of the water basin is one of the leading blocks for assessing the ecological situation. And the main indicator is the ecological and economic potential of the territory and the cost of the basin. 2. To assess the transformation of the state of the basin, reference values of the state of the enterprise are needed. 3. In assessing the situation, the final block is the economy and demographic situation - the cost of living and its duration.

In wireless ATM, Visitor Location Register (VLR) is the database that supports mobility management. In case the number of roaming users exceeds the VLR supports, the arriving users cannot receive any service. To solve the problem, the Random Replacement (RR) policy randomly selects a victim record in VLR to be replaced with the record of the arriving user. The quality of services for the victim user will certainly drop. Therefore, the proportion of affected users is not allowed to exceed a tolerable threshold. Apparently, VLR size is the key factor of the threshold. The cost for maintaining a VLR increases significantly as its size grows. So, how to utilize the capacity efficiently is an important issue in VLR planning. We propose a Second Chance Replacement (SCR) policy to reduce the requirements for VLR capacity. As compared with the RR policy, the discrete-event simulation results show that the SCR policy can save 2.5% to 28% VLR size under various QoS thresholds.


Cost overrun is observed as one of the common and basic problem which took place in different construction projects and affects its progress. Construction cost can be considered as the key factor to tell whether a project is successful or not. The cost of any project may be within, under or overrun. Among these cost overrun affects the project progress directly. Since it affects profit of the contractor, financial problems, delay in completion time, compromise on the material quality. Cost overrun can push the particular company to bankruptcy. Therefore various factors influencing the cost overrun must be thoroughly analyzed in order to reduce the cost overrun in such projects without compromising the quality of the project. The need of this research is to recognize the critical elements that lead to cost overrun in such projects.

India implemented various projects for improving the quality of lives of its citizens. In Kerala, the Cochin International airport and ICTT of Vallarpadam are two major initiatives undertaken to boost the economy of the state; the cost of the initiative unfortunately includes displacement of people. The study aims to inquire into the marginalisation of displaced people of both these projects. The study identifies that the economic, social, psychological and political marginalisation faced by the displaced population could be avoided if measures are taken to address them prior to the displacement.

Abstract. According to conclusions of ITI World Congress (2018), the accuracy of the dental impression determines the quality of the working model and, consequently, the fixation of the prosthetic restorations at the final stage. Inaccurate dental impression will inevitably lead to technical and biological complications (Wolfart S., 2016). According to Lee and co-authors (2019), the accuracy of the dental impression is influenced by the chosen method, namely closed or open tray, the presence or absence of transfers splinting and the choice of impression material type. The most accurate impression has been proved to be an impression taken with the use of an open tray impression technique, by means of polyether impression material with preliminary transfers splinting using internally interfaced implant system. The objective of the research was to evaluate the quality of implants placement transferring to the model by comparative analysis of different methods of clinical transfers splinting in order to take impressions using an open tray impression technique. Twelve clinical situations were studied. Four groups were formed according to the method of transfer splinting. Each group included 3 clinical cases. Impressions were taken with the use of an open tray impression technique in all clinical cases with preliminary custom-made trays with holes in the implants projections. A grading scale was created when assessing the quality of transfer splinting as a key factor in the accuracy of implant placement transferring. Each of the groups received from 1 to 4 points where 1 point was the worst result according to this criterion and 4 points meant the best one. Among the criteria for splinting quality evaluation, 1-3 criteria were considered to be subjective, criterion 4 was considered to be objective. Therefore, criterion 4 received coefficient ×2 in order to increase the objectivity of the results evaluation. There were 4 criteria: The simplicity of the technique and the time spent splinting. The cost of the technique. Passivity when fixing the bridge prosthetic restoration after manufacturing. Radiologically measured distance between the centers of implant analogues on the model relative to each other after an impression taking by means of different splinting techniques and deviation of the value from the position of the centers of implants heads tops after osseointegration according to CT scan. Analyzing the results of the research, splinting techniques were ranked according to the obtained points. Research group 1 scored 6 points using dental floss and flowable compomer. A considerable amount of time was spent splinting with relatively inexpensive technology. The passivity of the fixation was the worst in comparison with other methods and the largest error was determined radiographically. Group 4 scoring 17 points was determined as the best of the chosen techniques. Despite the high cost of the chosen technique, prosthetic restorations made after transfers splinting by means of this technique had the highest fixation accuracy and the lowest deviation of the implants analogues on the model radiographically in comparison with the position of the implants in the upper alveolar ridge and lower alveolar ridge due to the cost of the material based on poly-vinyl siloxane.

The authors examine the connection between law enforcement activities, law enforcement science and the scientific system of criminal policy, their mutual presumption and interaction. The law enforcement activities serve to uphold law, order and public security against unlawful human behaviours. The criminalisation of certain types of behaviour is a quasi fundamental resultant of law enforcement activity, which may provide criminal policy with a guideline by realising activities dangerous to society, or antisocial during its operation. In addition to the above, however, the relationship is multi-directional as the state receives information on the current status of crimes in the course of the completion of law enforcement tasks, and the quality of the completion of law enforcement tasks fundamentally influences the course of crimes.

Our knowledge of the universe comes from recording the photon and particle fluxes incident on the Earth from space. We thus require sensitive measurement across the entire energy spectrum, using large telescopes with efficient instrumentation located on superb sites. Technological advances and engineering constraints are nearing the point where we are recording as many photons arriving at a site as is possible. Major advances in the future will come from improving the quality of the site. The ultimate site is, of course, beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, such as on the Moon, but economic limitations prevent our exploiting this avenue to the degree that the scientific community desires. Here we describe an alternative, which offers many of the advantages of space for a fraction of the cost: the Antarctic Plateau.
