The Aim of the study is to determine the psycholinguistic meaning of the concept of Odesa in the linguistic consciousness of its inhabitants. Research Methods and Sample. The study used a free associative experiment. The subjects were to write five associations on the word "Odesa". A total of 117 respondents, aged 16-57, who live in Odesa, participated in the study. Results. By applying the frequency analysis of associates to the word-stimulus Odessa, the most widespread associations have been analyzed, which reveal the psycholinguistic meaning of the concept "Odessa". Ranks of the most frequent reactions on the whole set of associations and on the first reaction are determined. Semantic groups of associates are analyzed. A meaningful and quantitative analysis of the associates of the resulting semantic groups makes it possible to identify Odesa in the linguistic consciousness of its inhabitants as a maritime tourist city that has a glorious history, beautiful architecture and is a symbol of humor. The comparative analysis of the concept "Odesa" with the concepts "Moscow" and "Kiev" is carried out. Conclusions. From the results of the semantic interpretation of the concept of "Odesa" it follows that this city is associated with the sea, beautiful architectural and glorious history, which is equated with humor and fun. In the associative field of this concept, the largest group of associates was those describing its relationship with nature and the sea. A significant group of peripheral and single reactions consisted of tokens related to the associative field of architectural and historical topics. Unlike metropolitan cities, Odesa has no signs of a metropolis and infrastructure center in the linguistic picture of the world of its citizens.

The Welfare State

Introduction. The inadequacy of the support measures provided to children with orphan diseases is exacerbated by the trend towards an increase in the number of children with such a diagnosis. Orphan diseases also include diseases caused by primary immunodeficiency or congenital errors of immunity, which are life-threatening. However, these people are part of society and require attention from it, and social and economic measures from the state. Most of them, with proper treatment, socialization and appropriate government support, can lead a normal life and live a full life. Scientific novelty of the research. On the basis of the study results, the authors contribute to clarifying the principles used in the implementation of the security function of the social state. The targeting of social support measures must be supplemented with the principles of social justice and freedom to choose ways to meet the needs of specific categories of citizens, understood as follows. The welfare state supports those citizens who need it most of all, namely, the poor. Specific categories of citizens can satisfy their needs, while having the opportunity to choose. This opportunity arises thanks to the receipt of targeted assistance in the form of monthly or annual subsidies. Families with children with orphan diseases should also be included in these categories. If they have the right to receive annual government subsidies, they will be able to spend these funds depending on the current needs due to the state of health of their children with orphan diseases (for the purchase of socially important food products; medicines, medical nutrition, and various services). The aim of the work is to study the problems of providing support measures to children with orphan diseases in the context of the current model of the welfare state. The article analyzes the satisfaction of patients with congenital immunity errors with various types of state support, identifies problems that reduce their satisfaction. Methods. The authors use methods such as comparative analysis, study of regulatory legal acts, sociological analysis. Results. On the basis of the study results the effectiveness of measures of state support for children with orphan diseases, studying the best experience of foreign countries, proposals were made to clarify the principles used to implement the security function by the social state, to expand the composition of the subjects involved in providing support measures analyzed in the article. Conclusions. The results obtained make it possible to assert that the targeted approach, which is basic in the model of the welfare state, does not cover most of the problems of children with innate immunity errors and, accordingly, the families that represent their interests.
