The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing methodological approaches to assessing the activities of corporate cluster structures of various types and to select criteria for assessing the activities of interregional research centers of the NAAS, as cluster formations. Research methods. General scientific methods of empirical knowledge were applied: monographic and comparison, with the help of which an understanding of various methods of assessing clustering processes and the degree of implementation of integration initiatives was achieved, individual levels of cluster development were discovered and compared, changes in theoretical approaches to assessing their activities were revealed, trends in the development of scientific thoughts about this; also used cognitive comparison and description operations; according to the method of analysis, the optimal methods for assessing the effectiveness of cluster scientific unions have been identified; the synthesis method provided an opportunity to integrate approaches and propose a methodology for determining the level of efficiency of a scientific and innovative association; using a systematic approach, the influence of internal and external factors on the performance of cluster entities and their individual participants in a competitive environment was studied; abstraction made it possible to move away from a number of stereotypes regarding the definition of acceptable criteria for assessing the results of cluster activities and to highlight their essential characteristics, which is the basis of the model for the indicative assessment of the integration of scientific and innovative associations. Research results. A number of different theoretical approaches to determining the effectiveness of the activity of cluster structures are disclosed. It has been established that, in particular, their activities are assessed depending on the object of research or on the potential benefits of integration, while taking into account macro- and microeconomic indicators that characterize the impact of the cluster on society. The analysis and synthesis of currently known individual methods provided an opportunity to propose criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of “interregional research centers of the NAAS, maximally reflect the degree of implementation of those aspects of integration that ensure the economic efficiency of interaction of all subjects of cluster education and at the same time open up prospects for further research to determine the fair score and weighting factors for each of the proposed indicators. Scientific novelty. A system of complex indicative indicators is proposed for assessing the activities of a scientific and innovative cluster, which reflect the essential characteristics of the implementation of integration initiatives in the agricultural sector. Practical significance. The developed proposals for determining the effectiveness of the functioning of the scientific and innovative cluster can be used to assess the results of the activities of the interregional scientific centers of the NAAS.

During the 2010s, researchers have documented trends in the use of artificial intelligence for the construction and distribution of media content to indirectly manipulate political discourse at the national and global levels. Special interest in the context of this issue is how the rapid development of AI technologies affects political communication. The object of consideration within the framework of this article is the deepfake technology. Based on this, as a subject, the authors define deepfake as a phenomenon of modern political communication. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to describe and predict the impact of deepfake technology on political communication at the global and national levels. The paper presents the definition of deepfake, assesses its characteristics depending on the methods and purposes of its distribution, and analyzes the prospects for using this tool to influence political discourse in modern Russia. To study the subject field of the research, methods of systematizing theoretical data, classification, analysis of a set of factors and forecasting have been applied. The practical significance of the work is presented by the authors’ definition and typology of the phenomenon of deepfake and describes its significance as a factor of political communication on the example of a particular country. The results of the work will be useful for researchers studying the problems of digitalization of the media space and modern means of disinformation in politics, both at the local and global levels

The subject. The article is devoted to analysis of the basic models of criminal law and the impact of victim’s legal status on the criminal legal theory.The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the existence and the importance of “criminal law of victim” as basic model of criminal legal theory.The methodological basis of the research includes general-scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, system-structural approach) as well as academic methods (formal-legal method, method of interpretation of legal texts).Results and scope of application. The definition of the role of the victim, the importance of his legitimate interests in the implementation of criminal liability is complicated by the fact that the basic models of criminal law developed by science – “criminal law of the offender” and “criminal law of the crime” – do not consider the victim as a subject of criminal legal relations.The theoretical models of criminal law are embodied in the criminal law, specific legal rela-tions, law enforcement acts, etc., in connection with which there are specific indicators – the parameters by which it is possible to determine which model of criminal law is implemented.If the question of the criminal legal personality of the victim is controversial, in my opinion, there is no doubt that the victim is a party to the criminal law conflict, which often begins to unfold long before the crime.Conclusions. Recognizing the victim as a subject of criminal legal relations, as well as a par-ticipant in the criminal law conflict, it is possible to talk about the formation of a new model of criminal law – “the criminal law of victim”.

Urgency of the research. In the light of changes in the global security system, the problem of an adequate assessment of economic security in a regional context is acute. Existing methods provide for the calculation of a complex indicator or system of indicators for assessing economic security. Instead, the realities of today require a revision of the conceptual approach to the definition of "economic security", which will take into account the impact of the processes of interpenetration and the integration of economic systems of individual regions. Target setting. The problem of finding and testing new methods to assess the economic security of regions arises. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. A considerable amount of research is devoted to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the country's economic security. The classic approach to assessing economic security involves calculating the integral index and does not take into account the integration of individual regions and the country as a whole into world markets. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The need to change the angle of view on the monitoring of regional economic security arose in connection with: an increase in the scale and acceleration of the processes of globalization; difficult geopolitical situation in the country. The research objective. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of combining theoretical approach and indicative of the theory of open systems to assess the level of economic security of the region. The statement of basic materials. In this work an algorithm for using the apparatus of the theory of neural networks for the estimation of the economic system of the regions is developed. The obtained economic-mathematical model allows to perform clusterization of territorial units according to selected indicators of economic security. Testing of the developed algorithm is conducted on the basis of data on the state of economic development of the regions of Ukraine. Conclusions. The result of the simulation is a cluster structure that divided the totality of regions of Ukraine into four clusters according to selected classification characteristics. The results obtained have a clear economic interpretation.

Trends in the development of Ukrainian mining companies have shown that it is important to increase their financial potential. This necessitates an assessment of the financial capacity of business entities to determine the directions, methods for attracting additional and optimizing existing financial resources. The aim of this research is to determine a methodological approach to determining the level of financial potential of economic entities through the use of mathematical and statistical methods to identify the current financial status of economic entities and financial reserves of development. General scientific and special research methods, analysis and synthesis, graphical analysis, taxonomic analysis, cluster analysis, as well as abstract and logical methods were used to achieve the goal. Theoretical approaches to defining the essence of the concepts of “potential”, “financial potential of economic entities” were systematized to specify the boundaries of each of the concepts, its components. Definition of the essence of the “financial potential of economic entities” concept was proposed. A set of financial indicators to assess the level of financial potential through a priori ranking based on the analysis of literature sources was developed. The selected financial indicators were grouped according to the financial potential components; the integral indicators for each group were calculated. Business entities in the mining industry in Ukraine were grouped into clusters according to calculated taxonomic indicators. Besides, the level of financial potential for each cluster was determined. The methodological approach to the diagnosis of the level of financial potential of economic entities was developed using mathematical and statistical methods. This made it possible to identify trends in the development of financial potential, which allows forming measures to increase it.

The article is aimed at identifying and analyzing transaction costs when making management decisions at the level of an economic entity. In the course of the research, the following methods were used: grouping – in determining the main forms of transaction costs based on existing classifications; generalization – when systematizing information on the identification of approaches to the assessment and measurement of transaction costs; structural and logical – to determine the place of transaction costs in the structure of the enterprise’s costs; analysis and synthesis – to substantiate the recommendations for displaying information on the level of transaction costs at the enterprise in financial statements. The main forms of transaction costs on the basis of existing classifications are researched. Information on identification of approaches to valuation and measurement of transaction costs is systematized. The place of transaction costs in the structure of the enterprise’s expenses is determined. Recommendations on displaying information on transaction costs at the enterprise in the financial statements on the basis of their occurrence in a certain sphere of activity of the market entity (transaction costs of operational, financial, investment activities) are substantiated, which represents the scientific novelty of the research. It is concluded that the institutional approach, in particular application of the theory of transaction costs before their valuation and preparation of financial statements, allows not only identifying possible solutions to existing problems in accounting theory and practice, but also seting fundamentally new tasks that require non-standard solutions. The practical significance of the obtained research results is to determine the impact of transaction costs on the efficiency of the functioning of market entities and substantiate recommendations for displaying information about their level at the enterprise in financial statements.

Abstract. One of the main problems in the asset management is the asset utilisation and management disorders. This creates difficulties for the local government to identify the assets that they hold or manage, thus the asset utilisation and its management tend not to be optimal. The objective of this research is to analyse the impact of asset management to the optimisation of the asset utilisation at Local Government of Bone Bolango. The variables utilised for this research are stocktaking, legal auditing, assessment and condition of the asset. The samples for this research are 104 people. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling. This is a quantitative research and the method used was multiple regression analysis. The research finding shows that partially, the stocktaking, assessment and condition of the asset have positive and significant impact to the optimisation of asset utilisation; while the legal auditing has no impact toward the optimisation of asset utilisation. The value of the coefficient of determination shows that the stocktaking, legal auditing, assessment and condition of the asset altogether contribute to the optimisation of asset utilisation which is 58,8% and the remaining of 41,2% is affected by the factors beyond this research.Keywords: The Optimization of Asset Utilisation, Stocktaking, Legal Auditing, Assessment, and Condition of the asset.Abstrak. Salah satu masalah utama dalam manajemen aset adalah ketidaktertiban dalam penggunaan dan pemanfaatannya. Ini menyebabkan pemerintah daerah kesulitan untuk mengetahui secara pasti aset yang dikuasai atau dikelolanya, sehingga aset-aset tersebut cenderung tidak optimal dalam penggunaan maupun pemanfaatannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh manajemen aset terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset pada Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Variabel-variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah inventarisasi, legal audit, penilaian dan kondisi aset. Dengan menggunakan purposive sampling, jumlah sampel penelitian yang diambil sebanyak 104 orang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial inventarisasi, penilaian dan kondisi aset berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset, sedangkan legal audit tidak berpengaruh terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset. Nilai dari koefesien determinasi menunjukkan bahwa inventarisasi, legal audit, penilain dan kondisi aset bersama-sama berkontribusi terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset yaitu sebesar 58,8 %, dan sisanya 41,2 % dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain diluar model penelitian.Kata kunci: Optimalisasi Pemanfaatan Aset, Inventarisasi, Legal Audit, Penilaian dan Kondisi Aset
