The topic of occupational health is among the top priorities in the general list of tasks assigned not only to psychology, but also requiring solutions at the state level. One of the most relevant directions in this field is the study of psychological mechanisms that resist industrial stress and professional burnout. The article presents the results of a large-scale empirical study of employees of large industrial enterprises belonging to different professional spheres and industries, namely: energy engineering (St. Petersburg, 50 people); production of oil and gas equipment (Kurgan, 50 people); electrical industry (Ryazan, 50 people); automotive industry (Nizhny Novgorod, 61 people). The subject of the study was professional burnout and coping strategies of the individual, creating a model of overcoming behavior. The aim of the study was to identify the coping strategies of the individual, both contributing to burnout and reducing the risk of burnout. Methods used: the questionnaire of K. Maslach and S. Jackson "Professional burnout" (adaptation of Vodopyanova N.E.) and the questionnaire of R. Lazarus "Methods of coping behavior". When processing the results, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the presence of relationships between the burnout characteristics and the coping strategies used. The results of the study show that professional burnout was diagnosed in employees of all the studied enterprises, while there was a specificity in the degree of severity of individual indicators of professional burnout in employees of enterprises of different industrial spheres. The dominant strategies of coping with stress were determined, and the correlation analysis helped to identify those coping strategies that contribute to reducing professional burnout. In addition, as a generalization of the results of the study, the authors proposed a model of coping with the stress of employees of industrial enterprises.

The article is devoted to the psychological peculiarities of the manifestation of coping-resources of educators. The teaching profession belongs to the category of professions especially vulnerable to stress, since the teacher has to solve various professional tasks in the absence of time and information, constant open contact with people, which entails considerable emotional energy. The professional activity of a modern teacher requires constant and maximum mobilization of their personal resources. Maintaining or enhancing a person's stress resistance is associated with finding and using resources well enough to help the educator overcome the negative effects of stressful situations. The article reveals such characteristics of personality and social environment that facilitate or make possible adaptation to life stresses, promotes the development of a means of overcoming it, and increases stress resistance. These personal structures help a person cope with threatening circumstances and facilitate adaptation. The author analyzes the scientific and psychological approaches to understand personal resources, determinants of the choice of coping-strategies, and the influence of the characteristics of professional activity on the behavior of the individual. Questions about structure, functions, and types of coping behavior are raised. According to the majority of modern researchers, the generalized classification of the methods of mastering stressful circumstances is analyzed: coping aimed at evaluation; problem-oriented coping; coping aimed at emotions. Also presented were the most up-to-date and most modern models of coping resources, which can be viewed from different angles to look at the choice of coping-resources by the personality of the teacher, taking into account the conditions of his professional activity. The organization and methods of conducted research of the features of manifestation of coping-resources in teachers are described. The presented quantitative and qualitative results are disclosed according to the stages of the study. In particular, the analysis of teacher’s coping-strategies depending on the level of emotional burnout, ways of overcoming difficult life situations, as well as the methods of coping-behavior of the respondents. Relationships between teachers' coping-resources and emotional and mental stress as well as the monotony of professional activities are also identified. Adaptive and non-adaptive coping behaviors are differentiated in terms of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral coping strategies are analyzed separately. Based on the theoretical analysis of the scientific literature and empirical research, the author substantiates the relevant conclusions and recommendations for school educators on the effective use of their own coping resources.

Innovation Potential

Nowadays, innovation activity is becoming the most important factor of economic development. The scale and effectiveness of innovation are the major contributing items, which determine the level of socio-economic development of the country and its national security. The large-scale and multi-vector changes of recent decades have transformed a significant part of the world's socio-economic processes. The speed of change has significantly accelerated, and competitiveness is increasingly determined by innovations. There is a need to study the innovative component of investment. Ukraine faces objectively necessary investment processes for transition to an innovative model of development. Taking into account these trends, the question about the theoretical coverage of the main approaches and the display of information on the costs of innovation of enterprises in Ukraine, adhering to national and international accounting standards, becomes of particular urgency. Thus, the author considers the accounting and analytical support issues of innovative activity of enterprises of the processing industry, in particular, the food industry of Ukraine. A thorough analysis of approaches to the interpretation of the definition of "innovation" has been conducted. Component analysis of national and international statistical indicators of Ukraine's innovation potential has been carried out. The dynamics of the introduction of innovations in industrial enterprises by types of activities and directions of innovations is presented. The features of cost accounting for innovations in processing enterprises (on the example of enterprises of the food industry) were investigated and accounting approaches were adopted for ensuring the costs of innovations and R & D taking into account the accounting standards and international financial reporting standards. Specific objects of accounting, accounts of synthetic and analytical accounting are outlined. The author has proved that the use of the proposed approaches to accounting for investment in innovations requires additional regulation both at the state level and at the enterprise level. The measures for improving the accounting of investments in innovations of the enterprises of the processing industry are proposed, and the creation of a unified method of accounting for the costs of innovations is proposed.

Today, the activities of military units become especially important in conditions of instability in the country. Consequently, the study of the psychological characteristics of such people becomes expedient. Modern types of combat are requirements that often exceed the capabilities and resources of the military. This, in turn, creates a need for a special type of personality - stable, socially active, with a high level of self-regulation and the ability to withstand pressure from adverse factors [9].In modern psychology, the individual way in which a person can cope with a complex, crisis situation is determined by the concept of coping behavior. The study of this concept is especially relevant for persons working in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Coping is a strategy of behavior in complex stressful situations, which is chosen by servicemen to deal with stress. This is a kind of response of the psyche, which is an adaptive mechanism at the time of negative impact. The choice of coping strategies is determined by a number of personality traits that determine the dominant pattern of behavior of a particular serviceman during decompression.

The article describes specific features of project financing in the Russian Federation. It is stated that in Russia in recent years new investment projects have been launched, which are expected to be implemented using the project financing method, which indicates a favorable investment climate and the state's readiness to develop and improve this mechanism. Most of the projects are related to the industrial sector; in this regard, the analysis of projects and a synthesis of experience in the application of project financing have been conducted. Projects that were not always successful were analyzed, as well as an example of a project implemented with the assumption of design errors, in which the basic principles of project financing were not applied, but the result of its functioning turned out to be positive. According to the results of the analysis, the author grouped the general trends of project implementation, formulated the conditions that confirm the use of project financing, and identified key errors in the implementation of large-scale investment projects involving industrial enterprises. Priority sectors of the economy are defined, in which large-scale investment projects are most often developed and implemented (oil and gas extraction, processing and transportation). A review of Russian experience of project financing made it possible to understand the level of prevalence of this method and the effectiveness of its use, as well as to identify the main factors constraining and stimulating the use of project financing by industrial enterprises. Taking into account these factors will contribute to the formation of new directions and the development of methods for stimulating project financing for their successful use in the implementation of large-scale investment projects.

Early stress research tended to focus on the situational determinants of coping behavior, overlooking individual differences in responses. In this article an interactional approach to the description and explanation of coping with stress is suggested. It is presumed that coping behavior, like other forms of human behavior, depends on an interaction between situational and individual factors. From among individual factors, coping style is selected as a dispositional variable which indirectly determines coping behavior. This is defined as a repertoire of strategies available to cope with stressful encounters that are specific for an individual. A “trait-state” distinction is made between coping style as a disposition and actual coping behavior, a process composed of activated coping strategies. The attitude towards information concerning the stressful event is assumed to be the basic property of the individual coping style. Of the situational factors, controllability is regarded as a variable of special importance for coping behavior, because in controllable situations information processing concerning the stressor is adaptive, while in uncontrollable situations it has a little value. Two studies on coping with somatic illness, conducted by the author and her coworkers, are presented as examples of applying the interactional approach in research on coping with stress. In the second, more comprehensive and longitudinal study, 259 patients participated. Their coping style was evaluated using an adaptation of the MBSS. They represented illnesses differing in controllability. Results have confirmed the superiority of the interactional approach, compared with an approach including only the situational factor, in the explanation of coping behavior.

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological basis of the study of coping strategies in the student age. It is noted that the importance of coping behavior is to solve the following important tasks in stressful situations: to find the meaning of the situation, to confront the stressor, to maintain relations with those who could be a potential helper in solving the crisis, to maintain emotional balance, to maintain the image of self,social identity and self-belief. Emphasis is placed on the following coping behavior strategies: solving a problem, managing one’s emotions, avoiding a stressful situation. It is noted that the most responsive strategy is to solve the problem. The assumption is made that there is a relationship between the psychological characteristics of the personality structure and the person’s choice of a strategy for behavior in the stress. Such characteristics can be features of thinking (criticality and flexibility), organizational and communication skills, personal readiness to act in situations of uncertainty, readiness to resolve conflicts. It is argued that the choice of coping strategies and their implementation are filled with age-related psychological personality traits. Respectively, in the student-age determinants of coping behavior may be specific internal characteristics of the individual, which are important for the purposeful learning of students adaptive, effective coping. An empirical study of psychological determinants of coping strategies in a student environment is highlighted.

Stress Coping Strategies

Working in hospitality establishments involves high levels of stress, partially due to the anti-social shift rotations and the high levels of emotional labor needed. Unmanaged stress often leads to psychological and even physical diseases, which harm both individual career development and hotel operations. Thus, it is of great importance to identify effective stress coping strategies to maintain a sustainable hotel work force. Stress coping behavior varies among different demographics and generations. Commonly used stress coping scales were established almost 40 years ago, and under the context of daily events, and may not be applicable in today’s hospitality context. Thus, this study was designed to investigate effective stress coping strategies among today’s hotel employees. Data were collected from 470 hotel employees in 37 cities in China. The results identified 12 effective coping strategies that fell under three dimensions: distraction, sharing, and self-indulgence. The findings contribute to scholarly knowledge of stress coping. Managerial implications are also discussed.

The article discusses the results of the author's research obtained during the implementation of socio-psychological support of the individual in difficult life situations for several years. It is shown that coping strategies in situations of interpersonal intra-family conflicts in young people aged 18-20 years are mainly determined by the experience of their microsocial interaction. It is revealed that the accumulation of experience of microsocial interaction among young people aged 18-20 leads to an increase in the tendency to prefer coping strategies that are not related to the actual solution of the problem in the intra-family conflict. The results obtained have a pronounced practical significance and justify the need for training in constructive coping behavior in situations of intra family conflicts

The article proves that the main form of overcoming stress is coping behavior, which is understood as a purposeful social and neurophysiologically determined behavior that allows a person to cope with stress in ways that meet the characteristics of the individual and the situation. Coping behavior is considered a synonym for stress-coping behavior, which is expressed in the use of coping strategies by the individual. Personal characteristics and situational factors determine the choice of coping behavior strategies. The article aims to resolve the contradictions of multimodal approaches to the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries and group theories that include not only external social but also neurophysiological factors. The article shows that the choice of coping strategies mostly depends on personal and neurophysiological factors. These include neurophysiological reflexive or instinctive and higher ones: adequate self-concept, positive self-esteem, personality anxiety, cognitive style, and energy resources, which include endurance and temperament characteristics, intelligence, creativity, and locus of personality control. Overcoming a stressful situation is impossible without cognitive "processing," which becomes available through reflection. The influence of reflection on the choice of coping strategy of the individual is that reflective individuals choose more adaptive and effective strategies. The international relevance of the article lies in discovering neuroscientific aspects of the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries, which will allow these countries to contribute to the global scientific interdisciplinary discourse.

Abstract Evacuations are a common practice to mitigate the potential risks and damages made by natural disasters. However, without proper coordination and management, evacuations can be inefficient and cause negative impact. Local governments and organizations need to have a better understanding of how the population responds to disasters and evacuation recommendations so as to enhance their disaster management processes. Previous studies mostly examine responses to evacuations at the individual or household level by using survey methods. However, population flows during disasters are not just the aggregation of individuals’ decisions, but a result of complex interactions with other individuals and the environment. We propose a method to model evacuation flows and reveal the patterns of evacuation flows at different spatial scales. Specifically, we gathered large-scale geotagged tweets during Hurricane Irma to conduct an empirical study. First, we present a method to characterize evacuation flows at different geographic scales: the state level, considering evacuation flows across southern states affected by Irma; the urban/rural area level, and the county level. Then we demonstrate results on the predictability of evacuation flows in the most affected state, Florida, by using the following environmental factors: the destructive force of the hurricane, the socioeconomic context, and the evacuation policy issued for counties. Feature analyses show that distance is a dominant predictive factor with counties that are geographically closer generally having larger evacuation flows. Socioeconomic levels are positively related to evacuation flows, with popular destinations associated to higher socioeconomic levels. The results presented in this paper can help decision makers to better understand population evacuation behaviors given certain environmental features, which in turn will aid in the design of efficient and informed preparedness and response strategies.
