A classification of regions of Ukraine by the level of formation of social tensions together with determination of preventive measures aimed at preventing the creation of crisis situations are carried out. It is proved that the socio-economic situation typical for Ukraine has deteriorated significantly. This is evidenced by the decline of a large number of international indicators that characterize the stability of the country’s development. The suggested in the article methodological approach to the classification of regions by the level of formation of social tensions includes two main stages: substantiation of the system of socio-economic indicators that characterize the level of social tension; selection and substantiation of models of classification of regions. The carried out analysis of the values of socio-economic indicators of each cluster allowed to allocate the following classes of regions by the level of formation of social tension: 1st class – increased level of formation of social tensions; 2nd class – low level of formation of social tensions; 3rd class – high level of formation of social tensions. Of particular importance for the research is the 3rd class, i.e., the class with a high level of formation of social tensions, which leads to a crisis. The regions of this class should have serious government support in the social sphere. The results of the research showed that the number of regions classified with high level of social tensions is constantly growing and, unfortunately, the number of regions where the social sphere is more developed is decreasing. It should be noted that this situation is extremely dangerous, because it can lead not only to social, but also economic and political crises. The carried out analysis of the status of region of each of the received classes provides the possibility to prevent aggravation of crises in the social sphere and determine the list of preventive measures that can lead to a decrease in losses both in terms of individual classes and in the State as a whole.

The analysis of indicators that reflect changes in the social, economic and political spheres in recent years has shown their significant deterioration and the possibility of growing social tensions in the regions of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to classify the regions of Ukraine according to the level of formation of social tensions and to determine anticipative measures aimed at preventing the creation of crisis situations. The article proposes a methodical approach to the classification of regions using the methods of cluster, discriminant analysis and analysis of variance according to the level of social tension, which includes two main stages: substantiation of the system of socio-economic indicators characterizing the level of social tension; selection and substantiation of models of classification of the regions. Within the first stage of the methodical approach the system of indicators which reflect changes in social, economic and political spheres of Ukraine in modern transformational conditions was constructed. Within the framework of the second stage of the methodical approach on the basis of cluster analysis the classification of regions according to the level of formation of social tension was carried out. The classes of regions were selected: with a low level of formation of social tension; with an intensified level of formation of social tension; with a high level of formation of social tension. The results of the study showed that the number of regions in the class with a high level of social tension is constantly growing and, unfortunately, the number of regions with high socio-economic development is decreasing. The classification of regions made it possible to determine the list of preventive measures that can reduce the losses of the state associated with the containment of possible crises in the social sphere. However, the article also states that such a list of activities should take into account the specifics of the region that is part of each class

AbstractA herd of high-yielding Friesian dairy cows was observed outdoors and in a modern cubicle house. Indoors there was a much higher level of gross agonistic behaviour than at pasture (9·5 v. 1·1 per h). Furthermore, the use of continuous filming showed a high level of avoidance amongst the cows which impeded the movement of the more submissive cows. All cows spent proportionately 0·34 to 0·56 of their time indoors watching one another and 0·45 to 0·66 of their time in ‘social tension’. There was less synchrony of behaviour indoors than at pasture and despite the presence of one Calan Broadbent stall for each cow there was a high rate of displacement from the stalls involving cows of all degrees of dominance. The results are discussed in relation to housing design and husbandry practice.

The functions of the state in historical development are investigated. It is proved that the main functions fall into the changes that take place in the state; the derivative functions fall under the more powerful influence of the established ethnocultural strata of societ’ys life, national, territorial peculiarities, traditions, etc, and therefore the state of the modern type, which appears in the results of the development of a specific state-organized society, can, in explicit or hidden forms, be preserved andsometimes to develop some traditional functions of the state. In the context of the theory of state and law, the functions of the state are analyzed and shown that they are not a stable and unalterable phenomenon, fundamental and frozen in its development, and depending on the specific historical conditions, the elements of these general functions may acquire independent significance and signs of independence. The state-legal phenomena and processes in conceptual positions of the theory of state and law with the use of methods of classification of state functions for their further ordering and comparison are investigated. It is shown that their classification is important for understanding the functions of the state, which allows not only to reveal common features but also to formulate a scientifically grounded opinion about the variety of functions of the state. It is proved that due to the classification of state functions, it is possible to work out practical recommendations regarding the main directions of state activity not generalized and declaratively, but differentiated with respect to each separate function. It is highlighted that the classification criteria of state functions allow enumeration of different functions of the state to a particular class and group. The most common groups of state functions are classified: 1) their division into external functions and internal functions; 2) according to the criterion of importance for the state, the main and derivative (additional, or non-principal) functions of the state are distinguished; 3) in the time duration of the existence of the functions of the state distinguish between mandatory (permanent, continuous) and temporary (non-permanent, transitory); 4) depending on the social interests of which the functions of the state are performed, they are divided into general social groups and groups (for the protection of the interests of a certain stratum of society); 5) sectoral division of functions of the state, that is, the division of the social sphere (economic, social, law enforcement, environmental, etc.).

Роботу присвячено розгляду постаті кідалт – дорослої дитини – як породження реальності постмодерну. Постульовано, що втеча 20-35-річними людьми від біологічного віку як бажання вдягатися у підліткові речі, використання омолоджувальних процедур, пошуки екстремальних вражень, відсутність інвестицій у тривалі стосунки та власність є закономірним для постмодерну процесом стандартизації молодіжного стилю життя, ювеналізації суспільства. Досліджено паралелізми у визначеннях постаті кідалт як символу незрілості, уникання відповідальності та втечі від ідентичності дорослого. Висвітлено основні підходи до розуміння кідалтс як вікової та діяльнісної групи з ракурсу різних дисциплін. Поява кідалтс з точки зору маркетингу регламентована дією реклами та масової комунікації для просування задоволення нагальних потреб споживача (відсутність логіки у закупівлях, колективна регресія), що засноване на попиті на товари без утилітарної цінності, на ефекті ностальгії за знайомими відчуттями, на прирості споживачів старшого покоління, на стандартизації молодіжного стилю життя. З огляду на соціальну сферу, кідалтс з’являються через поведінку лідерів з її толерантністю та навіть заохоченнями щодо закріплення ірраціональності у свідомості людини – індивідуалізму, приватизації, нарцисизму та прибутковості. Масова культура, у свою чергу, диктує кідалтс прихильність до дозвілля та насолод як до базових орієнтирів та продуктів розвитку та щастя. Антропологічні дані демонструють, що нове покоління, відмовляючись від авторитаризму, патріархату та маскулінності, шукає альтернативних способів досягнення зрілості, але натомість позбавляються ідентичності дорослого. Постнекласична психологія, пояснюючи появу кідалтс, орієнтується на поняття нелінійності й анахронічної моделі життя та втечі особистості від свого біологічного віку як від постульованих рамок. Підкреслено, що такі типові риси та психологічні особливості кідалтс, як інфантильність, нарцисизм, ескапізм, високий рівень сугестивності, презентизм, відсутність змагальності та гасло "все й одразу" відкрили постмодерній особі простір для ґрунтовніших досліджень власної особистості, духовні пошуки та вільний вибір життєвого шляху. The paper is dedicated to the kidult figure – childish adult – as a generation of postmodern reality. It is postulated that 20-35-yeared people escaping from their biological age by desire to dress up into teenage clothes, by anti-aging treatments, by searching of extreme experiences, by the lack of investments in long-term relationships and properties is a logical process of youth lifestyle standardization and juvenile society of postmodern times. The parallelisms for kidult definitions as the symbols of immaturity, responsibility avoidance and escaping from adult identity are investigated. There are also highlighted the major approaches to understanding kidults as the age and activities group from the viewpoint of different disciplines. The emergence of kidults from a marketing viewpoint is regimented by the advertising and mass media influence to promote the immediate satisfaction of consumer needs (lack of logic in purchases, collective regression) based on the demand for products without any utilitarian value, on the nostalgia effect for the familiar sensations, on the growth of consumers of the older generation, on the youth lifestyle standardization. On the assumption of the social sphere, kidults arise from the behavior of the leaders with its tolerance about and even promotions of the irrationality anchoring in human consciousness - individualism, privatization, narcissism and profits. Popular culture, in its turn, dictates to kidults the adherence to leisure and pleasures as the benchmark and the product of development and happiness. Anthropological data shows that the new generation, abandoning authoritarianism, patriarchy and masculinity, are looking for the alternative ways to reach maturity, but then shifting off the identity of adult. Postnonclassical psychology, explaining kidults appearance, is focused on the notion of nonlinear and anachronistic model of life and personality’s escape from the biological age as from the postulated frames. It is emphasized that such typical traits and psychological characteristics of kidults as infantilism, narcissism, escapism, high level of suggestiveness, presentism, the absence of competitiveness and the slogan "all at once" have opened to postmodern personality the space for more solid researches of the self, spiritual searches and free choice of the life path.
