The article describes the standardized process of marketing monitoring of the company's competitive opportunities in the non-food market of Ukraine. The concept of "marketing monitoring of the company's competitive capabilities" is defined, which specifies the areas of application and summarizes the main modern functions of the process. Moreover, trends in the development of the non-food market in Ukraine have been studied. The research determined by the problem of maintaining a high level of competitiveness in the company is one of the most important today, so this monitoring process satisfies the need for facilitation and standardization for non-food market representatives. The concepts of competitiveness, monitoring and their types analyzed by domestic and foreign scientists provided the basis for the development of a unified scheme of the monitoring process. Further research may be aimed at the introduction of this standardized process in the activities of firms representing the non-food market and analysis of the results that will be obtained after its development. The standardized process of marketing monitoring of the company's competitive opportunities has been tested on the example of Carlo Pazolini, which owns a network of shoe and accessory stores. The main stages of the process are described and the allocation of a separate subprocess for direct marketing monitoring of competitors with the involvement of company employees as mystery shoppers is substantiated. The developed process of marketing monitoring of the company's competitive capabilities allows: to increase the level of competitiveness due to a detailed study of the strengths and weaknesses of the company and major competitors; to introduce the best and most effective technologies and methods to increase consumer loyalty to the brand; clearly delineate the areas of responsibility of employees and monitor the implementation of the process; evaluate the company's performance compared to major competitors and increase the level of competitiveness. Prospects for further research are to develop a process of marketing monitoring of the company's competitive opportunities in the food market.

Legal sciences, raising food safety as the subject of research, focus mainly on striving to ensure sufficiently effective legal regulations and the system of bodies controlling and supervising the food market that determine the correct health quality of food. One such body is the Veterinary Inspection. And while it focuses in its tasks mainly on the protection of animal health, it directly and indirectly affects the maintenance of food health requirements. Supervision exercised by the said Inspection plays an important role in ensuring a high level of protection of human life and health, and also protects the economic interests of the consumer. These two goals are basic. Additional objectives are protection of the reliability of commercial transactions, ensuring the free movement of food in the European Union, protection of animal health and living conditions and protection of the environment. They are of particular importance for determining acceptable limits of competences that can be entrusted to public administration bodies, including the said Inspection. The article presents the activities of the Veterinary Inspection to protect food safety and selected executive forms that it uses for this purpose. These types of entities are equipped with such forms of activity because they fulfill a protective function in the public administration system. However, this function implies the obligation to protect many different values desired individually, as well as maintain (ensure) objectively desired states of affairs, phenomena and processes.

This paper investigates what factors and characteristics of organic consumers affect annual organic food expenditure by using Nielsen’s consumer panel dataset from 2010 to 2014. To be specific, this paper explores new marketing opportunities by investigating organic consumer heterogeneity in different household income levels by utilizing the multilevel model. Findings in this study will contribute to the previous and existing literature in three-folds. First, we find that the organic consumers are more heterogeneous in the high-level of income groups (approximately above $60,000), as well as the low-income households between $35,000 and $45,000. This finding demonstrates that the income levels above $60,000 and around $40,000 have potential market segmentation. Second, we find that that annual organic expenditure is positively associated with consumers who consecutively repurchase organic food products compared to irregular organic consumers, supporting a different level of satisfaction. Third, we find that USDA organic labeling has a positive effect on annual organic expenditure compared to the organic labeling certified by private companies, implying the importance of credibility for the organic labeling.

Until recently, the introduction of novel foods into the EU market has been primarily governed by Regulation (EC) No 258/97. The solutions provided for in this legislative act have been criticised. Consequently, as of 1 January 2018, this act has been replaced by Regulation No. 2015/2283. The aim of the deliberations presented in this article is to answer the question whether and to what extent the new solutions actually facilitate the placing of novel foods on the EU market while ensuring at the same time a high level of protection of consumers’ health, life and economic interests. In the author’s opinion, Regulation No. 2015/2283 introduces many amendments aimed at facilitating the introduction of novel foods to the EU market, which also satisfy the aboveconcerns. However, only the practice resulting from the application of the adopted solutions will determine the effectiveness of opening the EU food market to safe innovations.

Tourism’s unique features limit the consumer behavior literature’s ability to explain consumer loyalty. More precisely, existing consumer loyalty models do not consider social and cultural dimensions highlighted by tourism literature. Using new institutional theory, this article proposes a new perspective to explain loyalty. This study of musical festival patrons and managers combines cognitive mapping and questionnaires. Findings demonstrate that shared values between managers and festival-goers influence the latter’s loyalty. More precisely, shared values impact attitudinal loyalty and word-of-mouth, but they do not affect behavioral loyalty. Results also show that festival-goer loyalty decreases more slowly over time when a high level of shared values exist. Beyond music festivals, this study highlights a more sociological approach to explain loyalty over time in tourism.

The proper control of built heritage entails many challenges related to the complexity of heritage elements and the extent of the area to be managed, for which the available resources must be efficiently used. In this scenario, the preventive conservation approach, based on the concept that prevent is better than cure, emerges as a strategy to avoid the progressive and imminent loss of monuments and heritage sites. Regular monitoring appears as a key tool to identify timely changes in heritage assets. This research demonstrates that the supervised learning model (Support Vector Machines – SVM) is an ideal tool that supports the monitoring process detecting visible elements in aerial images such as roofs structures, vegetation and pavements. The linear, gaussian and polynomial kernel functions were tested; the lineal function provided better results over the other functions. It is important to mention that due to the high level of segmentation generated by the classification procedure, it was necessary to apply a generalization process through opening a mathematical morphological operation, which simplified the over classification for the monitored elements.
