The conditions of operation of small and medium-sized businesses on a simplified taxation system are compared. The latest legislative changes related to the stabilization policy of the State are taken into account. To identify the main trends of small business development, an analysis of the dynamics of the quantity, composition and structure of business in terms of its size, as well as the dynamics of the number of small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs by the largest groups in accordance with the classification of domestic economic activity in the country was carried out.

The dynamics of financial results before taxation of small enterprises is determined, which substantiates their higher productivity and maneuverability in the conditions of instability. A study of the dependence between the level of tax revenues to local budgets from a single tax and the productivity of small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs proves the author’s position on the need to use a simplified taxation system as a measure to preserve the viability of small businesses in lockdown conditions in order to stabilize the economy at the local level. The importance of SMEs in the employment structure in terms of enterprises by their size proves the need to stimulate entrepreneurship in the face of global instability.

The article analyzes the status of investment activity of personal peasant farms (PPFs). Investment is one of the most important factors in the development of the economy. Especially of great importance are investments aimed at the development of agricultural production, because on its development depend the development of all other sectors of the economy, accelerating the processes of reproduction and increasing its efficiency. It is proved that the investment activity of the PPFs is unsatisfactory, investment processes are insignificant, and the sources of allocation of resources are irrational. The sources of investment provision of personal peasant farms have been identified. It is concluded that internal sources of financing of PPFs, which consist of: income from economic activity, related types of activities, provision of services, lease of land plots, pensions, wages, scholarships of members of the PPFs, funds from the sale of property, rent for land plots, interests on deposit investments, insurance payments from reimbursement of losses, previously accumulated savings, etc., are not sufficient. Therefore, we need to look for opportunities to provide resources for external sources of funding. The key role here should be played by the State. It is necessary to develop an effective mechanism for attracting and implementing investment support from the part of the State, as well as external and internal investments, along with joint projects.

As mudanças legislativas do final do século XIX alteraram o status quo da Igreja Católica, levando-a a desenvolver novas estratégias de ação a fim de defender seu espaço junto à comunidade. Devido a séculos de padroado, a religiosidade brasileira tornara-se uma mescla de práticas medievais e mágicas com características portuguesas, africanas e indígenas. O combate a essas práticas foi intensificado com a implementação do ultramontanismo, que buscava centralizar e verticalizar o poder clerical, diminuir o poder das irmandades leigas, sacralizar os locais de culto, dentre outras. Partindo dessas premissas, esse artigo analisa a vinda de religiosos católicos europeus para Goiás, nomeadamente da Congregação do Santíssimo Redentor – redentoristas –, como parte importante do projeto ultramontano. Esses religiosos reforçaram o clero (então diminuto), contribuíram na propagação da fé com missões, giros paroquiais e desobrigas, criaram um jornal religioso e ainda ajudaram no controle da principal festa religiosa do estado. The Congregation of the Holy Redeemer in Goiás (1894-1925) The legislative changes of the late nineteenth century has altered the status quo of the Catholic Church, leading it to develop new strategies of action in order to defend its space with the community. Due to centuries of patronage, Brazilian religiosity had become a mixture of medieval and magical practices with Portuguese, African and indigenous characteristics. The fight against these practices was intensified with the implementation of ultramontanism, which sought to centralize and verticalize clerical power, to reduce the power of lay brotherhoods, to sacralize places of worship, among others. Based on these premises, this article analyzes the coming of European Catholic religious to Goiás, namely the Congregation of the Holy Redeemer – Redemptorists – as an important part of the ultramontane project. These religious strengthened the clergy (then scanty), contributed to the spread of the faith with missions, parochial circuit and disengagement, created a religious newspaper and also helped control the main religious celebration of the state.

A significant part of Ukrainian bridges on public roads is operated for more than 30 years (94 %). At the same time, the traffic volume and the weight of vehicles has increased significantly. Insufficient level of bridges maintenance funding leads to the deterioration of their technical state. The ways to ensure reliable and safe operation of bridges are considered. The procedure for determining the predicted operational status of the elements and the bridge in general, which has a scientific novelty, is proposed. In the software complex, Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM), is a function that allows tracking the changes in the operational status of bridges both in Ukraine and in each region separately. The given algorithm of the procedure for determining the predicted state of the bridge using a degradation model is described using the Nassie-Schneidermann diagram. The model of the degradation of the bridge performance which is adopted in Ukraine as a normative one, and the algorithm for its adaptation to the AESUM program complex with the function to ensure the probabilistic predicted operating condition of the bridges in the automatic mode is presented. This makes it possible, even in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, to have the predicted lifetime of bridges at the required time. For each bridge element it is possible to determine the residual time of operation that will allow predict the state of the elements of the structure for a certain period of time in the future. Significant interest for specialists calls for the approaches to the development of orientated perspective plans for bridge inspection and monitoring of changes in the operational status of bridges for 2009-2018 in Ukraine. For the analysis of the state of the bridge economy, the information is available on the distribution of bridges by operating state related to the administrative significance of roads, by road categories and by materials of the structures. Determining the operating state of the bridge is an important condition for making the qualified decisions as regards its maintenance. The Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM) which is implemented in Ukraine, stores the data on the monitoring the status of bridges and performs the necessary procedures to maintain them in a reliable and safe operating condition. An important result of the work is the ability to determine the distribution of bridges on the public roads of Ukraine, according to operating conditions established in the program complex of AESUM, which is presented in accordance with the data of the current year. In conditions of limited funding and in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, it is possible to make the reasonable management decisions regarding the repair and the reconstruction of bridges. Keywords: bridge management system, operating condition, predicted operating condition, model of degradation, bridge survey plan, highway bridge.
