In today's world, one of the indicators of the level of development of democracy is the level of organization and exercise of public control over public authorities. It should be noted that in Ukraine there is no special law, which establishes the law and determines the mechanism of exercising civil control over the activities of representative authorities, which significantly complicates the procedure for its implementation. Scholars consider the legal basis of public control in the context of legislative and regulatory acts, pointing out their imperfection and expediency of making changes. At the same time, there is no definition of public control in legal documents, and accordingly, the methodology of public control is not defined and therefore there are no methods of its implementation. In scientific and applied publications on the organization of public control of representative authorities in the context of decentralization, it is considered as a component of public participation. The aim of the article: to generalize and systematize foreign scientific and applied research on effective procedures for public control of representative authorities in comparison with the domestic practice. The object of research: implementation of the procedure for public control of representative authorities in foreign countries and in Ukraine. The research methodology: review of foreign and Ukrainian literary sources on the implementation of the procedure for public control of representative authorities in the world and in Ukrainian practice. The obtained results: an analysis of the procedures for public control of representative bodies of power in the countries of the world demonstrates the diversity of approaches to its implementation; forms of public control are enshrined in legal norms and are reflected in the legislation in the form of governmental documents, programs, strategies, standards, or are effectively used without governmental support through e-platforms, panels, etc. As for the Ukrainian scientists, there is no established opinion about the procedures for public control: some identify them with forms of control, others - with the conditions of its effectiveness, some authors place components (stages) of the control process (observation, evaluation, analysis, forecasting) as its methods. The practical significance: adoption of a special law will enable to define general principles of the procedure for public control of representative authorities, and a clear definition will make it possible to determine the nature and set of forms and methods for its implementation.

All countries of the world, without any exception, are concerned about the existence and the proliferation of such a destructive phenomenon as corruption, which harms the activities of public authorities, weighed down the economy and distorts society's consciousness. In this context, each country introduces its own anti-corruption program, strategy or conducts appropriate policies. In this article, the corruption prevention measures applied by individual foreign countries are considered directly in order to ascertain the possibility of borrowing such experience for Ukraine. The article analyzes the anti-corruption activities of three countries - Finland, Denmark and Sweden. This choice is due to the low level of corruption in the proposed countries. Analyzed the experience of Finland, Denmark and Sweden, we made conclusion that the measures of prevention of corruption implemented in the studied countries, in the majority, coincide with the anti-corruption’s measures in Ukraine. Such measures include, inter alia, the adoption of anti-corruption legislation, the ratification of international treaties, the introduction of public control, the establishment of stricter penalties for the commission of corrupt acts, etc. However, in the studied countries there is a certain feature that decrease the level of corruption - this is the openness of the activities of authority, moral and psychological citizens' denial of corruption , increased transparency and facilitating the involvement of population to the implementation of anti-corruption measures, namely using a number of ethical (for employees) and moral (for the whole of society) principles that stop citizens to commit corruption's acts. It could also be concluded one of the priority basic can influence the reduction of corruption is citizens’ moral and ethical education which Ukraine should strive for.

The article argues that nowadays a well-established conceptual and terminological apparatus, whose origins have deep historical roots, in modern vocational training of future specialists in nursing of different qualification levels, is used. On the basis of theoretical analysis of scientific literary sources and conceptual and terminological synthesis has been established that definition of “nurse” comes from Latin “nutricius”,which means caring for those who suffer. On the basis of comparative analysis the comparative-historical way of becoming nurse profession has been reflected.The basis is a five-stage periodization of the formation and development of nursing (by M. Shehedyn). It has been concretized that in the prehistoric period, which lasted from ancient times to the V century AD, work that reflected some of the functions of modern nurse was regarded as a spontaneous care, not as a profession; the period of the Middle Ages was marked by the functioning of specialized institutions for the care of sick people; during the Classical period the nursing and Sisters of Charity were born; the Neoclassical period was marked by the development of scientific concepts for the organization of the system of training nurses; in the Modern period the degree nursing education was introduced. In different historical periods, to indicate the functional characteristics of persons who determine the modern professional activity of nurse, the following terms were used: “deaconess”, “caregiver”, “Sister of Mercy”, “Daughter of Charity”, “nurse”. The recognition of nursing staff by the World Health Organization in 1983 as independent and equal in the health care system, as well as the official definition of “nursing”, which was considered as an activity aimed at addressing individual and public health problems in a changing environmental conditions, became an extremely important event in development of the world nursing.

The purpose of the study is to group the countries of the world according to the availability and legality of abortion and to identify patterns of development of tourist flows of abortion tourism. The research methodology includes a system of methods and techniques: monographic method (used to process materials from literary sources and Internet resources), statistical method (used to assess the prevalence of abortion), cartographic method (used to visualize the legality and availability of abortion around the world), classification method (used to group countries according to the criterion of the level of availability and legality of abortion). Research results. The geography of tourist flows of one of the types of medical tourism (abortion tourism) was analyzed. It arose as a result of the possibility of obtaining medical procedures abroad, prohibited or restricted in their own country. Attention was focused on the factors of legality and accessibility of these medical services in the countries. There are four groups of countries on the availability of abortion: 1) freedom of abortion; 2) abortion for medical and socio-economic reasons; 3) abortion for medical reasons and in other exceptional cases; 4) complete ban. The right to terminate a pregnancy at the woman's request is guaranteed in 71% of developed countries and in 16% of developing countries. Most countries that restrict abortion throughout the territory or in its separate administrative units - this is the state of Africa and South Asia and Latin America. But abortion tourism is the most intensive in Europe. The controversy over abortion has not abated. The two main groups in discussion call themselves "for choice" (with an emphasis on women's right to choose) and "for life" (with an emphasis on the unborn child's right to life). The scientific novelty of the work is that the proposed grouping of countries according to the legality and availability of abortion, outlines the factors of abortion tourism. The main directions of tourist flows of abortion tourism in Europe are determined. The practical significance of the results of the work is that they can be used to shape the tourism policy of Ukraine, as the state is involved in the field of abortion tourism as a recipient of tourist flows. The results of the study also contribute to solving social and demographic problems in the context of depopulation and deteriorating public health. After all, abortions are factors that negatively affect the reproduction of the population and women's health.

Purpose. The purpose of the work is to study the criminal offenses of terrorism in the criminal law of foreign countries and to outline the limits of the use of its positive assets. The methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of relevant conclusions. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: comparative-legal, logical-grammatical, system-structural, modeling. Results In the course of the research it was recognized that in the criminal legislation of foreign countries there is no single approach to the definition of criminal offenses of terrorist orientation. In most European countries, prosecution is provided not only in the criminal code, but also in special laws to combat this phenomenon. At the same time, increased attention is paid to the fight against terrorist financing and incitement to terrorism. Also noteworthy is the attribution to terrorism of a significant number of illegal acts, which without a terrorist purpose constitute independent criminal offenses (murder, bodily harm, riots, robbery, damage to important public buildings, kidnapping, etc.). Scientific novelty. In the course of the research it is scientifically substantiated to divide the legislation on liability for criminal offenses of terrorist orientation into three models: 1) complex (combination of criminal law and specially defined for counter-terrorism legislation); 2) criminal law; 3) criminological, in which the fight against terrorism is reflected only in specialized legislation. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities in further improving the national criminal law on terrorist offenses, as well as in the educational process during the teaching and study of disciplines "Special part of criminal law of Ukraine" and "Criminology".

Aim: The article is devoted to the issue of optimizing the export carriage of synthetic rubber produced in Russian, using the service of express container trains. Methods: The analysis of volumes distribution of synthetic rubber production between the main Russian producers was made and an alternative option was proposed for the delivery of the products of the largest plant for the production of this raw material to foreign countries. To assess the economic efficiency of the carriage variant by express container trains, a comparison was made with the most commonly used method of rubber transportation by transport costs. Results: Based on the results of the calculations, it was found that when transporting rubber in containers as part of express container trains, significant savings in transportation costs arise. Practical significance of the work: The relevance of the proposed variant is due to the growth of cars production and the development of container transportations in the world. As a result, the transport component is reduced in the final cost of production, which allows suppliers to be more competitive in the market for the production of this raw material.

The concept of "crisis management" entered into everyday use among the managers of hotel enterprises relatively recently. As a practical discipline, crisis management began to actively develop in the 1990s. It was at this time that the objects and subjects of crisis management were determined, different approaches to definition were outlined, tasks, methods, and methods for solving them were formed. The article considers the existing approaches to the definition of crisis management, proposed by Russian and foreign scientists. The most interesting definitions of crisis management, which are used in the hotel business, are indicated. In the framework of the above definitions, examples are given on the implementation of crisis management in practice (in Russia and in foreign countries). Particular attention is paid to the classification of crises that affect the activities of hotel enterprises. Internal and external factors influencing the development of the hotel business are highlighted, and their ranking has been carried out. According to the results of the study, the shortcomings of the approaches to crisis management are presented, and a personal interpretation of the definition is proposed. World experience shows that crisis management was interested in scientists and practitioners from various fields: management, economics, finance, law, mathematical modeling, econometrics, programming, etc. Moreover, interest in crisis management arose most often at times when the world economy underwent a number of negative impacts. Currently, these phenomena have become quite frequent. Due to the fact that the markets and industries of the world have become interconnected, the financial market crisis leads to a decline in the development of the tourism industry, which in turn affects the hotel business.
