Inconsistency and instability of planning processes are some of the important obstacles to achieving the goals of sustainable development of Ukraine today. This indicates the imperfection of the analytical function of the management system of sustainable development of the territory, which is associated with the forecasting and diagnosis of development processes. The thresholds of indicators for diagnosing the state of the territory by the level of stability (homeostasis) are fundamental, i.e. acceptable limit values, non-compliance (exceeding or not reaching) which leads to the emergence of destructive processes in the territory. The legislative approach is used in domestic practice to determine the threshold values of indicators, based on expert assessments of specialists. But the expert definition of these indicators is sufficiently subjective, which, in turn, does not preclude fundamental errors in diagnosing the state of the territory. In order to prevent subjectivism, it is advisable to use Shewhart control charts as a diagnostic tool to identify the uncontrolled state of the territory and answer the question: should or should not interfere with the system? The theory of control charts largely corresponds to the main provisions of the theories of sustainable development and «The Black Swan». Development is considered as a sequence of long periods in the theory of sustainable development, which is based on the basic principles of synergetic and nonlinear dynamics. These periods correspond to the stable states of the system (homeostasis), which are interrupted by periods of bifurcation (chaos). After a period of chaos, the system moves to the next qualitatively new steady state (attractor), the choice of which is usually determined by fluctuations (i.e., difficult to predict, new events, the so-called «Black Swans») at the bifurcation point. To study the problems of controllability of the process of sustainable development of the territory, the most suitable are Shewhart’s individuals control chart (X) and moving range (mR), which are used for periodic monitoring data and rapid detection of special causes (fluctuations). On the example of interpreting the results of XmR chart to diagnose the manageability of human development in Ukraine and Kuwait for 1990-2019 proved the feasibility of using a combined XmR chart in diagnosing the state of the territory on indicators or integrated indices that characterize various aspects of development.


Ukraine has a sufficient amount of tourist resources and a powerful potential for its further development. For today, castle tourism, based on the use of fortification objects, is extremely attractive both for tourists and for attracting investment in its development. At present, the castles have found their new purpose: they have become museums, hotels, art galleries, restaurants, platforms for theatrical performances and musical concerts, various shows and performances. Ukraine is not the first time back to the problem of preserving its historical and fortification heritage. The seriousness of this issue is determined by the fact that the castle heritage is in an extremely neglected state. Another negative phenomenon is still the indifference of the population to their own history and the current state of the tourist infrastructure. Ukrainian society should be the engine of practical changes. Historical monuments are destroyed, and sometimes the local population dismantles locks for building materials. But it should also be noted that Ukraine has all the possibilities and conditions for the development of castle tourism. Of course, there is definitely a lot of work to improve the conditions and quality of service, but the components of the success of the development of this area in the country go along with the preservation of natural landscapes, accessibility of the area, advantageous infrastructure, interesting tourist sites and facilities, the image of the state and a significant contribution of funds to country budget. The potential of castle tourism is amazing and needs to be developed. The subject of the research is the use of the castle-palace complex in tourism. The purpose of the research is an analysis of the current state and definition of prospects for the use of the castle-palace complex in Ukraine, first of all in the industry of hotel and restaurant business. Tasks: to highlight the main problems and prospects for the development of the castle tourism, to formulate the strategy of using the castle heritage of Ukraine. The scientific methods are a system analysis, a structural-genetic synthesis and a direct analysis. As results this study found the main directions of development of the castle tourism, the impact of this type of tourism on the country's economy and the ways of attracting investment for the development of castle-hotel business in Ukraine. The authors conclude due to the development of the castle tourism, the economy, which has a significant impact on the development of the state in general and on the standard of living of the population, is growing intensively. In the future, the establishment of a competitive market for services by upgrading the existing vacation infrastructure and the spread of small forms of recreation can significantly increase the number of tourists in our country, which will improve the economy and the quality of life of the population. It will also help create a new tourism infrastructure, increase the share of inbound tourism, which will positively affect the development of transport, accommodation and catering, retail, construction, communications, and insurance.

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].

Abstract Can one speak philosophically of a justified limitation of freedom? Hegel’s logically founded definition of free will and his understanding of right and duty can contribute to a clarification of the concept of freedom. Important is a precise differentiation between freedom and caprice (Willkür) – the latter being a necessary but one-sided element of the free will. In caprice, the will is not yet in the form of reason. Rational rights and duties are not a restriction of freedom. Insofar as individual rights can collide (e. g. in emergency situations), there can be a temporary and proportionate restriction of certain rights in favour of higher rights, such as the right to life. Dictatorships are instances of capricious rule which restrict freedom; the rationally designed state, by contrast, restricts only caprice. What is tobe defined are the duties and the rights of the state and the duties and the rights of the citizens.

Some aspects of the economic and legal status of a consulting engineer are analyzed, taking into account the specifics of national legislation. Some problems of the legal status of the consulting engineer and the forms of his economic activity are revealed. The introduction of such an entity as a consulting engineer in the modern conditions of construction development is of particular importance due to the need to improve the quality of construction work, the development of competition in this area and the need to change approaches to economic activity in this area. It is established that the concept of consulting engineer is defined in some special regulations, in particular, regulating activities in the field of road construction, but the economic and legal aspects of his business remain unresolved. This significantly affects the effectiveness of the introduction of the institute of consulting engineers in the field of management. The problem of lack of clear definition of the form of conducting economic activity by the specified participant of economic relations is revealed. The necessity of adopting a special normative legal act, namely the Law of Ukraine "On the activities of consulting engineers", in which to regulate general issues of their legal status, features of the organization of its activities, responsibilities, etc is proved. The author's definition of the concept of consulting engineer is proposed, taking into account the need to establish the organizational and legal form of his business, which will ensure proper regulation of relations between him and other participants in construction relations, including contractors and customers. The solution of some problems of the economic and legal status of the consulting engineer under the legislation of Ukraine is offered. The expediency of conducting the activity of a consulting engineer as a self-employed person, or carrying out its activity by creating a legal entity (association of consulting engineers) is substantiated. In addition, in our opinion, an entity that carries out engineering activities and has concluded employment contracts with duly accredited consulting engineers has the right to provide the services of a consulting engineer.

Establishment of the National Higher Teacher Training College (WSP) and an attempt to merge it with the Jagiellonian University in 1956 After the Second World War, the Jagiellonian University lost its autonomy and the state authorities destroyed its structures by separating the departments and creating new universities out of them. Independently, in 1946, the National Higher Teacher Training College in Krakow was established. In 1954, it received the right to run a master’s course. The quality of education in WSP was assessed negatively by the Jagiellonian University. In turn, the WSP authoritiesclaimed that their school provided better training for future teachers. At the beginning of the 1950s, some reservations were voiced as to the grounds for the existence of higher teacher training schools due to overlaps with the university curriculum. In 1956, the state authorities decided to close some of these colleges. WSP was to be merged with the Jagiellonian University. A meeting was organized at the Jagiellonian University in April 1956, where representatives of the Ministry of Higher Education, the Jagiellonian University and WSP discussed the merger. However, the meeting didn’t yield the expected results due to the firm objection on the part of WSP. The opportunity to strengthen the Jagiellonian University’s position by merging with WSP was ultimately lost.

The paper presents the definition of quality of life and its relationship with sustainable development. The paper analyses and compares the indicators of quality of life in Lithuania with other countries. A quality of life is an explicit or implicit policy goal. Various measurements and indicators to evaluate a quality of life were proposed during the recent years however there are no widely accepted objective indicators of quality of life able to compare countries. Sustainable development concept proposes new approach to measure quality of life. Therefore the aim of sustainable development is to increase quality of life. Quality of life can be addressed in terms of people health, the state of economy, employment, infrastructure development, crime and environment. All these indicators are interrelated as economic development creates preconditions to maintain public health, develop social and technical infrastructure, to increase employment, to ensure quality of environment, to tackle with crime etc. From the other point of view healthy and satisfied with the quality of life nation have positive impact on stable economic growth.

This chapter assesses Article V of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns the legislative department. Section 1 states that “the Legislative authority of the State shall be vested in a Legislature, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives.” However, “the people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and amendments to the Constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the Legislature, and also reserve power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislature.” Section 2 provides for the designation and definition of reserved powers. Initiative means the power of the people to propose bills, and to enact or reject them at the polls. Referendum is the right of the people to have bills passed by the legislature submitted to the voters for their approval. Meanwhile, in May 1964, the Oklahoma constitution was amended to conform to the U.S. Supreme Court rulings. The amendment passed and Sections 9 through 16 were replaced with Sections 9A through 11E. The chapter then details the provisions for the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Abstract In this article, we examine the essential role of law in achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following the World Health Organization’s broad definition of health, all SDGs can be seen to impact on human health and hence the health goal (SDG3) should be right at the centre of the entire 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We note recent research on the contribution of law, including international human rights law, to achieving health for all and discuss the role of law in addressing seven emerging health challenges. Law can and should play an important role in achieving all health-related SDGs, by respecting, protecting and fulfilling the right to health, ensuring that no one is left behind.
