This paper is motivated by a distinctive appreciation of the difficulties posed by quantitative observational inquiry into complex social and economic systems. It develops ordinary and piecewise indices of joint and incremental informational association that enable robust approaches to a common problem in social inquiry: grappling with associations between a quantity of interest and two distinct sets of co-variates taking values over large numbers of individuals. The distinct analytical usefulness of these indices is illustrated with their application to inquiry into the systemic economic effects of patterns of discrimination by social identity in the U.S. economy.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the domestic and foreign policy agendas of all countries have been turned upside down. The pandemic has brought new problems and competition areas to states and to the international system. While the pandemic politically calls to mind the post-World War II era, it can also be compared with the 2008 crisis due to its economic effects such as unemployment and the disruption of global supply chains. A debate immediately began for a new international system; however, it seems that the current international system will be affected, but will not experience a radical change. That is, a new international order is not expected, while disorder is most likely in the post-pandemic period. In an atmosphere of global instability where debates on the U.S.-led international system have been worn for a while, in the post-pandemic period states will invest in self-sufficiency and redefine their strategic areas, especially in health security. The decline of U.S. leadership, the challenging policies of China, the effects of Chinese policies on the U.S.-China relations and the EU’s deepening crisis are going to be the main discussion topics that will determine the future of the international system.

The political threat posed by the growth of Fenianism in Ireland in the late 1850s and early 1860s has generally been underplayed by much present-day historiography. Even contemporaries were not disposed to see American Fenianism as much of a danger to the constitutional stability of Ireland. The Dublin police authorities decided to recall sub-inspector Thomas Doyle from his surveillance work in America in July 1860. By that time Doyle had sent dozens of reports on Irish-American revolutionary activity. On the basis of his reports the authorities knew that John O'Mahony and Michael Dohney, both of 1848 notoriety, were prominently involved in Phoenix and Fenian conspiracy. They also knew the general points of the ‘phoenix theory’ that England's difficulty was Ireland's opportunity, that men were being recruited and drilled in large numbers in the U.S. for a possible invasion of Ireland, that ‘O'Mahony's theory [was] … to root out the Government, to cut down the landlords, and to confiscate the land of Ireland’, and that John Mitchel had gone to Paris as an agent for the ‘phoenix confederacy’ in the U.S.

The modern stage the development of Ukraine economy is require the reasonable methodological aspects to determination of effectiveness and authenticity the existence of clusters, its the applied value and virtual for the purpose of further aspects of development the theoretical principles of management enterprises in the conditions the modern progress of national economy trends. A research purpose is mark research of practice the using of clusters in modern Ukrainian reality, exposure of its virtual constituents, evaluation the role of clustering for development of theory practices the management of enterprises and its influence an economy on the competitiveness of national economy and maintenance of motion to the European and world society. As an object of research economic activity of enterprises the different industries comes forward economies of Ukraine, which are in the search of new directions of innovative development on the basis of creation of different types of clusters. Methods and principles of scientific cognition of general and special methods and receptions became methodological basis of research that the effective used in the process of ground and the applied value of the use of clustering. Including the methods of systematization and generalization? what are used for the analysis of the existent  aspects of creation the clusters in different industries of activity of enterprises; inductions and deductions, what are use for the ground of the applied value of clustering; between disciplinary analogy, what are use for the evaluation the virtual of application and adaptation of clusters to the operating of modern enterprises conditions. Supposition became the basic hypothesis of research, that modern cluster educations in different industries of Ukraine national economy have more virtual than practical application, and - basic its further development its legislatively-normative determination and use must become in the direction of creation the competitive products. The statement of basic materials. It is well-proven that the applied methods of clustering have likeness with the reliable methods of realization of prognosis, when the variety of the possible states of the economic systems is planned. Common reliable idea about development does not give reliable information a cluster about development of single enterprises in it, that is why conduct each in such cluster associations more casual character, than reliable activity to the cluster, has yet a subject. There is authenticity of that not every subject will be consistently and to move on a scenario which is offered in a cluster association, but will incarnate that which answers its idea about prosperity and necessities. In-process of expose was wrote the mechanisms of presentation the participants of cluster about a utility, satisfaction system of values, which is carried in itself by creation of different clusters. Offered approach consideration about cluster society have originality and practical meaningfulness and allow to send processes creation of clusters on determination of compatible values and necessities for its participants and receipt of public economic effects from it. The conducted research allowed to formulate a conclusion, that clustering have the hidden potentials, that not allow effective develop the economy of enterprises, but take in attention the virtual features of perception the clustering, it follows to pay attention to necessity: creation of legislatively-normative base in relation to functioning of clusters, presence of instruments the state support of activity of clusters on regional and national levels for creation of competitive products; creation of compatible values and requirements in mutual relations in a middle clusters and receipt of the objective applied effects in relation to functioning of clustering.

Heat resistance of Listeria monocytogenes strains V7 and Scott A in chicken gravy and changes in heat resistance during refrigerated storage were studied. After chicken gravy was made, it was cooled to 40°C, inoculated with 105 CFU L. monocytogenes per ml of gravy, and then stored at 7°C for 10 d. Gravy was heated at 50, 55, 60, and 65°C immediately after inoculation and after 1, 3, 5, and 10 d of refrigerated storage. The D values for strains Scott A and V7 in gravy heated at 50°C at day 0 were 119 and 195 min and at day 10 they were 115 and 119 min, respectively, whereas at 65°C comparable values at day 0 were 0.48 and 0.19 min and at day 10 they were 0.014 and 0.007 min. Heat resistance (expressed as D values) was greater at day 0 than at the end of refrigerated storage. The z values ranged from 3.41 to 6.10°C and were highest at the early stages of chill storage and then decreased at the later stages. Strain V7 was more heat resistant than Scott A at 50°C. Strain Scott A always had a higher z value than did strain V7 at the same storage interval. A heat treatment greater than the 4-D process recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture was required to inactivate the large numbers of L. monocytogenes that developed in chicken gravy during refrigerated storage.
