Introduction. The relevance of the problem is due to the theoretical and practical significance of the study of the specifics of creative thinking in adolescence. Objective. To identify the psychological characteristics of creative thinking in younger and older adolescents. Materials and Methods. Theoretical and empirical methods were used in the research. As a diagnostic tool, a modified version of the Gilford technique and a shortened version of the Torrence creativity test are used. Results. Four levels of creative thinking development were identified and described: average, below average, above average, high. The characteristic feature of the development of creative thinking of older adolescents is the uneven development of its main indicators. When comparing the data obtained in younger and older adolescents, there is some lag in the first indicators such as fluency and flexibility of thinking. Nonverbal creative thinking is better developed in the group of older teenagers due to better detailing of answers and ideas. In General, the indicators of flexibility of thinking are lower than the indicators of fluency in both samples. The study determined the nature of the relationship between creativity and the level of intelligence of the subjects. For this purpose, the coefficient of rank correlation rs Spearman was used. Discussion and Conclusions. Adolescence is a special period in the development of thinking in ontogenesis, since it is in the middle classes that children first begin trading to study systematic courses in a number of disciplines where, unlike primary school, truly scientific concepts are presented. Based on these concepts, students develop ways of their actions to solve the relevant problems. This circumstance radically changes their thinking. The results can be used in the process of organizing the educational process with students in the study of disciplines of the psychological cycle, in the activities of the psychological service of universities, as well as school psychologists.

Purpose. The article is aimed at analyzing the general theoretical principles and the essential characteristics of legal restrictions in environmental law; defining category of “environmental legal restrictions”, their content, system and the status of the respective legislation. Methodology. The methodology consists in carrying out a comprehensive analysis of the provisions of environmental legislation and formulating relevant conclusions on this basis. During the research, the following methods of scientific research were used: terminological, systemic and structural, comparative legal, structural and functional. Results. The objectively determined necessity of unconditional adherence to the legally established environmental requirements, prohibitions and restrictions as well as their potential scientifically substantiated enhancement in order to achieve environmentally significant goals oriented towards the priorities of sustainable development is substantiated. Restrictive mechanisms are scattered across statutory and regulatory acts of different legal force and even different branches of law, therefore, the need for their systematization and unification as well as generalization of the experience of their practical implementation in order to establish a comprehensive system of environmental restrictions is discussed. In our opinion, the conceptual basis and general essential characteristics of public environmental requirements and restrictions should be reflected in the future Environmental Code of Ukraine. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, the author defines restrictions in environmental law as a specific sectoral imperative mechanism for regulating relations in the field of environmental safety, which consists in systematically introducing legislation on imperative provisions of environmental law as well as establishing specific legal regimes and mechanisms for their application and implementation. Practical significance. The main conclusions can be used in law-making and law-enforcing activities, as well as in further theoretical and legal research and in the educational process.

Tribological properties of engineering components are a key issue due to their effect on the operational performance factors such as wear, surface characteristics, service life and in situ behavior. Thus, for better component quality, process parameters have major importance, especially for metal matrix composites (MMCs), which are a special class of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications including but not limited to structural, automotive and aeronautics. This paper deals with the tribological behavior of Cu-B-CrC composites (Cu-main matrix, B-CrC-reinforcement by 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 wt.%). The tribological characteristics investigated in this study are the coefficient of friction, wear rate and weight loss. For this purpose, four levels of sliding distance (1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 m) and four levels of applied load (10, 15, 20 and 25 N) were used. In addition, two levels of sliding velocity (1 and 1.5 m/s), two levels of sintering time (1 and 2 h) and two sintering temperatures (1000 and 1050 °C) were used. Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array was used to statistically analyze the aforementioned input parameters and to determine their best levels which give the desired values for the analyzed tribological characteristics. The results were analyzed by statistical analysis, optimization and 3D surface plots. Accordingly, it was determined that the most effective factor for wear rate, weight loss and friction coefficients is the contribution rate. According to signal-to-noise ratios, optimum solutions can be sorted as: the highest levels of parameters except for applied load and reinforcement ratio (2500 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 0 wt.%) for wear rate, certain levels of all parameters (1000 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 2.5 wt.%) for weight loss and 1000 m, 15 N, 1 m/s, 1 h, 1000 °C and 0 wt.% for the coefficient of friction. The comprehensive analysis of findings has practical significance and provides valuable information for a composite material from the production phase to the actual working conditions.
