The subject of the article is the situation of housing and communal services of Ukraine – an apartment building management services. There legislative base on the given question, its dynamics and prospects of development are analyzed. These are the main problems that have been going on since the beginning of the housing and communal reform. The main characteristics of the entities that can manage apartment buildings in Ukraine are given. Also studied their influence on the development of competition in this market. The number and dynamics of apartment buildings that have chosen certain forms of management are determined. The statistical data which show indicators of management of apartment houses in Ukraine in the context of regions of Ukraine are resulted. In general, the share of apartment buildings in Ukraine, the co-owners of which have not chosen any of the forms of management, is decreasing, but the share of such buildings in the overall structure is too large. The current trends in the industry in the coming years are indicated. Peculiarities of the manager's appointment based on the results of competitive selection are considered. The main indicators of payment discipline for apartment building management services in Ukraine are analyzed. The payment discipline is also a negative factor on the management of apartment buildings in Ukraine. In particular, it is worth noting the increase in 2020 in the amount of indebtedness of the population for all types of utility payments, except for payments for the management of apartment buildings. It should be noted that previously the problem of registration of ownership and maintenance of adjacent territories was significant - many condominiums, having a significant adjacent territory, could not register the ownership of it, because it was owned by local governments. Therefore, the maintenance of these territories and their development, despite the needs of co-owners, were carried out on a final basis. However, a significant problem with the implementation of housing and communal reform in Ukraine is that the vast majority of apartment buildings have not chosen any form of management, so in the face of changes in legislation on a competitive basis, local self-government will appoint managers.

With the growing attention to smart buildings, local governments are seeking practical ways to optimize the energy consumption of commercial buildings. An ideal smart building is capable of monitoring its own energy consumption and adjusting the operation of electric devices, being lighting and air conditioners, based on the occupant behaviour. In this study, data had been obtained from the monitoring sensors in a commercial building located in the heart of Sydney from 2013 until 2020 on a 15-minute time intervals. The data derivation and analysis are intrinsically static at the moment which makes it difficult for building management to make instantaneous decision regarding the measures to be taken for a lower energy consumption. Using data analysis and visualization tools in Tableau, this study provides detailed insights about the trends in energy consumption in the given building. The outcomes facilitate the decision making for building management and can be seen as a milestone towards a dynamic optimization protocol in a bigger picture which is introduced in the second part of this study.

In the article identifies the economic essence of financial results and financial regulation of associations of co-owners of apartment buildings. The main financial aspects (budgeting, formation of structural components of the income portfolio and expenditure items, submission of financial statements of associations, participation in co-financing programs with the local budget) and economic and organizational aspects of the functioning of associations are considered. Chairman of the Board and the General Meeting). The existing forms of apartment building management in Ukraine have been studied (direct management of an apartment building, which is appropriate for multi-family buildings; building management by an association of apartment building co-owners and apartment building management by a management company). The preconditions for the creation and state of development of associations of co-owners of an apartment building in Ukraine, the region (Dnipropetrovsk region) and the city of Kamianske are analyzed. It was found that the number of associations in Ukraine has more than doubled in the last ten years, but the share in the total number of apartment buildings remains very small. The main legislative and regulatory framework for regulating the activities of associations of co-owners of apartment buildings in Ukraine is considered. The causes of occurrence and the amount of indebtedness of the population for payment for the maintenance of the house and adjacent territory are investigated. It has been established that the vast majority of the population does not pay for the maintenance of houses, primarily due to the provision of poor quality services, and not due to lack of financial resources. The main advantages of creating condominiums in Ukraine are highlighted (co-owners independently decide on house management, condominium members independently manage the common property of an apartment building and control the use of their financial resources, co-owners can earn money on joint property and spend money on landscaping, etc.) and shortcomings (difficulty in electing the initiative group and the chairman of the board, conducting financial and operational activities, ignorance of the chairmen and members of the board). The successful experience of the association of co-owners in Kamianske was studied.

The reconstruction of balconies and loggias is a key element of the renovation of apartment buildings. Artificial light will never replace natural light. Every day, one must make full use of the potential of daylight and enjoy an advantage—free-of-charge natural light entering the interior. When renovating balconies, people often change the character of this protruding structure from a façade to a loggia. This is also the subject of this paper. For the evaluation of the daylighting conditions prevailing in residential building, the Daylight Factor (DF) was considered as the parameter for indicating the quantity of admitted daylight. The DF values and illuminance—CIE overcast sky were calculated using DIALux 9.1 software. The aim of the paper is to compare two variants of the level of daylight in the rooms of the residential building. One option to bring in even more natural light than a window is a variant with balconies. Loggias are satisfactory in terms of static and thermal technology, but daylight conditions are deteriorating. The article provides an insight into the solution of the renovation of balconies and loggias in a specific apartment building. The result shows their influence on changes in the conditions of natural daylight in the interior of two selected rooms.

La administración política, judicial y económica en la América española se vertebró, en última instancia, a partir de los ayuntamientos y sus gobiernos municipales. Representantes de la autoridad del Rey, eran el eslabón más cercano y directo al vasallo de la jerarquía absolutista. Asimismo, los Cabildos eran la primera representación de la población a la que gobernaban, impartían justicia, cobraban impuestos y daban servicios públicos. En ambos sentidos, en sus gestiones encauzadas verticalmente hacia las instituciones superiores, y hacia abajo en la aplicación de las medidas que aquellas les imponían, su capacidad de acción venía condicionada, sobre todo, por los recursos económicos a su disposición. Aparte, las políticas adoptadas de forma autónoma en los municipios también dependían de la economía local, de la autoridad reconocida y de las mercedes recibidas. Todo ello repercutió en las formas de actuar de cada municipio, en sus intereses y, consecuentemente, en las tipologías documentales que aparecen con más frecuencia en cada uno de ellos. La ordenación de esos tipos documentales, el análisis de su aparición y frecuencia, de las mercedes concedidas y las comunicaciones mantenidas nos aportan relevante y novedosa información que, en estudios comparativos, deben ofrecen nuevas respuestas e interrogantes sobre la temática. Interrogantes a los que hay que encontrar nuevos métodos históricos para darles solución.  Economical, judicial and political administration in Spanish America was supported, ultimately, by councils and their local governments. On the one hand, as legal representatives of the royal authority, they were the most close and direct link with the vassals of the absolutist hierarchy. On the other hand Cabildos were the first representatives of the population they ruled, they administer justice, collect taxes and give public services. In both ways, managing up for their superior authorities and managing down applying the current legacy, the ability of councils to act was limited, mainly by the lack of economical resources. Moreover, politics autonomously adopted by local governments depended on several factors as the local economy, their recognized  authority  and  the favours received.  All these things affected the ways in which the councils acted and to their interests, and consequently to the types of documents they generated which are the ones we can  more frequently find  nowadays. The order of those documents, the analysis of their appearances and frequencies, just as the study of the given favours and the communications maintained, provide us lots of relevant and original information that will offer, through comparative studies, new answers and questions on the subject.  Questions that will need new historical methods to be solved.

The subject of this work is the effectiveness of apartment building management. The main terms and categories are studied. At this work is studied a modern status of housing industry and economics of Ukraine. At this time the major threats to economics are: dissatis-factory technical condition of a large share of the housing stock of Ukraine, low energy efficiency of apartment buildings, passive attitude of co-owners to effective management and using of common property. There are four types of common property of co-owners apart-ment building and the main forms of their management are defined. In this work studied the existing methods of housing management: Condominium, when the co-owners manage themselves by electing own Management and Chairman, managing of the building by a individual manager or a private management companies, мanagement of municipal management companies. Now in Ukraine has not yet developed a single methodology for assessing the effectiveness of apartment building management, so there are a large number of sci-entific approaches to the formation of such an assessment system. The analysis of economic efficiency and social responsibility should consider that the management system should be aimed at achieving the goals of apartment building management. There main indicators of management efficiency of apartment buildings are: an energy efficiency: issues of technical operation and maintenance and using of energy-saving technologies; environmental indicators: reduction of negative impact on the environment, ensuring the cleanliness of the adjacent territory and improving waste management; social factor: ensuring the rights of co-owners to receive quality services; loyalty of co-owners: their participation in management; communication with state and municipal institutions: participation in local development programs, receiving state support, etc. The choice of methods of avaluation the effectiveness of apartment buildings based on form of condominiums management should be made. There are many differences in the forms of management of an apartment building, which should be counted in the new methodology for assessing the effectiveness of management. Keywords: apartment building, joint property of co-owners, efficiency of apartment building management, apartment building manager.

The purpose of this article is to determine the main principles for assessing the efficiency of management of an apartment building. Now in Ukraine has not yet developed a single methodology for assessing the effectiveness of apartment building management, so there are a large number of scientific approaches to the formation of such an assessment system. The organizational and economic mechanism of management of apartment buildings provides a set of interconnected components. The analysis of economic efficiency and social responsibility should consider that the management system should be aimed at achieving the following goals of apartment building management. Methodology. In the evaluation process it is necessary to calculate the value of the complex indicator of all three groups, using the weight. At this work the algorithm for evaluating the effectiveness of management of an apartment building is developed. The value of regulatory (target) indicators must be set taking into consideration the situation in the target market, taking into account the potential and intentions of the management company (manager). In the management activities of apartment buildings, evaluation of its efficiency has recently also begun to be applied by using certain criteria and assigning them points (on a 5-point scale). The main elements that have a certain numerical value in this system are the corresponding indicators. For each of them the calculation period is presented, the corresponding units of calculation and boundary conditions of the level of their values are given. The lists of criteria that must be met by the management of apartment buildings are identified. There are some negative trends of declining interest of co-owners of apartment buildings in management is described. The choice of methods of evaluation the effectiveness of apartment buildings based on form of condominiums management should be made. There are many differences in the forms of management of an apartment building, which should be counted in the new methodology for assessing the effectiveness of management. As a result of work is developed the standard scheme of an estimation of efficiency of management of apartment houses in Ukraine is developed. The sources of an initiation of assessment of the effectiveness of apartment building management are identified. The results of a survey of the association of co-owners of an apartment building (ACAB) of Dnipro in 2020 noted the following specifics which should also be taken into account in the process of assessing the effectiveness of apartment building management.

Abstract The present paper is founded on two pillars. Firstly, it is one of the current trends in education worldwide, i.e. to connect theory and practice. Secondly, it is the need to be interculturally competent speakers of a foreign language in today’s globalized world of massive migration flows and signs of increasing ethnocentrism. Based upon these two requirements, the ability to communicate in a FL effectively and interculturally appropriately in the tourism industry is a must, since being employed in whichever of its sectors means encountering other cultures on a daily basis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to find out undergraduate tourism students’ opinion on the importance of intercultural communicative competences for their future profession as well as their self-assessment in the given field. The findings of the research, which are to be compared to employers’ needs, revealed that there is considerable difference between the respondents’ views on the significance of the investigated issues and their self-esteem.

The general objective of this study is to analyze the postulate of the ethics of otherness as the first philosophy, presented by Emmanuel Levinas. It is a proposal that runs through Levinas' thinking from his theoretical foundations, to his philosophical criticism. Levinas' thought presents itself as a new thought, as a critique of ontology and transcendental philosophy. For him, the concern with knowledge and with being made the other to be forgotten, placing the other in totality. Levinas proposes the ethics of otherness as sensitivity to the other. The subject says here I am, making myself responsible for the other in an infinite way, in a transcendence without return to myself, becoming hostage to the other, as an irrefutable responsibility. The idea of the infinite, present in the face of the other, points to a responsibility whoever more assumes himself, the more one is responsible, until the substitution by other.
