There is a steady trend in the wide range of literature on the study of institutions: the definition of theoretical judgments often does not coincide and is not combined with the definition of general connections and patterns, which leads to ignoring the principle of systematic analysis of socio-economic processes. Indirectly, this means the priority of the random (individual) over the whole and general. Meanwhile, the concept of an institution correlates with the specific content of a phenomenon or process and is supplemented by a generalized and systematic approach. The study of such an urgent problem of the market economy as institutional choice through non-profit organizations requires the extension of the analysis not only to governmental but also to non-governmental structures, which are an element of the whole. In this regard, the article provides a historical overview of the development of nonprofit organizations and charitable activities as a large-scale social phenomenon, which made it possible to draw attention to the possibility of using the experience of past years for the purposeful organization of non-state institutions of charity, including by improving social partnerships. Analysis of the current state of non-profit organizations in Ukraine, despite the growth in their number, shows a decrease in the volume of charitable activities. In recent years, the country has taken certain steps to improve charity. However, this is not enough. The institutional environment for philanthropy needs to be improved. The solution to this problem is possible with the active influence of the state on the management of non-commercial activities. Improving the tools of functioning, financing, as well as increasing attention to the development of statistics in this area of activity is considered relevant. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to identify pressing issues and ways to improve charitable organizations. The solution to this problem is possible with the active influence of the state on the management of non-profit activities. The development of the institutional framework of the nonprofit sector of the economy means the improvement of financial reporting, greater openness of charitable organizations, streamlining of their legal relations, liberalized taxation and strengthened control over the activities of non-profit organizations. The article pays special attention to the problem of accumulation and distribution of charitable funds. The potential of charitable organizations can be expanded by shifting the focus of their regulation away from predominantly corporate to regional administration, which increases the importance of the institution of partnership in the development of charity. The article uses historical and logical methods, which allowed to study the formation and development of non-profit organizations in the evolutionary aspect.

This article provides a brief description of the crowdfunding sphere of activity and the procedure for its formation, its main types, ways of involving money in this sphere of activity, it offers standard records of facts of economic life in accounting and tax accounting, methods of generating funds for charitable investment projects and features of tax calculations in each of them (donation, donation, provision of services, loans, sale of shares, investments). Crowdfunding is a concept of foreign origin. This is essentially the totality of all types of non-profit charitable activities to raise funds in the form of investments for various purposes according to the agreement. The main principles of these types of activities are the attraction of sponsorship funds free of charge, the targeted use of funds, confidentiality, reliability and responsibility of the sponsored person to investors of funds. At the same time, the functioning of sponsored charitable organizations should be carried out on the basis of existing regulatory legal acts in terms of their state registration, accounting and tax calculations and other areas. Understanding the nature of crowdfunding, their development, procedures for the formation of crowdfunding formations (or entities, organizations, companies and other concepts), the effectiveness of this field of activity, the rules of settlement relationships between participants of crowdfunding companies with the state and their reflection in accounting and tax accounting currently cause significant interest in charity organizations.

The article discusses approaches to the definition of the concept of “civil society” presented in various encyclopedic sources, and also analyzes the state of the non-profit sector of economy postulated as a conductor of civil society institutions in the social environment on the example of the Volgograd region. The relevance of the research is determined by the significance of the role played by non-profit organizations in the formation and development of the social environment of the region. In the context of the need to consolidate the creative efforts of both individual citizens and social groups, the development of the non-profit sector of economy becomes an objective necessity. The purpose of the work is to consider the essence of the category “civil society”, as well as to apply the results to the study of the state of civil society institutions in Volgograd region. The research methodology includes structural and statistical analysis. The empirical base of the analysis is provided by official statistics for the period 2014–2020. The results of the study suggest that the planned development of the non-profit sector of regional economy requires the construction of an autonomous system of financing, in which budget funds will no longer play a key role in the formation of financial resources of its subjects.

The key characteristic of the XXI century is the rapid development of productive resources and information technologies. This feature results in the fast development of new and existing forms of entities and to the globalization of their activities. Non-profit organizations, regardless of organizational and legal form, are beginning to play a significant role in the socio-political and economic life of modern states. Such organizations promote the development of civil society and freedom of speech, and they can be a tool for achieving both the long-term and short-term goals of the state, or a group of people united on a certain basis. That is why the legal and tax regulation of non-profit organizations is an important factor in their development and serves as a tool to control the activities of non-profit institutions by the state. By regulation of the kinds of non-profit activity, the state may promote concepts of national development as, for example, an increase of life term through granting non-profit status to sports clubs and defined hospitals. Such an approach, in the long-term perspective, may result in economic growth through an increase of lifecycle of productive resources. As of today, one of the most discursive categories related to accounting and taxation of non-profit organizations is the concept of profit which appears as a result of excess revenue of the non-profit organization over expenses related to the execution of the statutory activity. In this article, the approaches to the definition of the concept of profit and income of a non-profit institution were analyzed through the analysis of existing approaches to its definition applied to classical business entities, also the definition of a profit of a non-profit organization was proposed. Additionally, possible sources of income of a non-profit institution in accordance with current legislation, and the peculiarities of payment of remuneration to employees of non-profit institutions were analyzed. Moreover, based on the normative requirements of the Ukrainian state authorities the general formula for calculation of the taxable income of non-profit organizations was designed.

Agricultural production in the United States provides numerous economic contributions from the national scale to the local, providing farmworker and laborer jobs for hundreds of thousands of people [1]. Unfortunately, conventional agricultural operations are often associated with pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, which can cause environmental degradation and health problems. Large-scale conventional agriculture is often using pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer intensive, and these chemicals may contaminate natural environments, harming wildlife, and degrading water quality. When contamination incidents occur, government agencies and non-profit organizations respond in various ways, including environmental remediation. These efforts can be successful in restoring water quality and improving biodiversity. But, what happens when clean-up efforts are able to improve the physical environment but do not address human health? We use the case of Lake Apopka, Florida, to analyze a case of agricultural contamination that resulted in damage to the environment and the health of the farmworkers who were exposed to these harmful chemicals. Our analysis explores how government agencies and non-profit organizations were successful in their conservation efforts, but failed to help the farmworkers and other people who were sick as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals. We conclude with recommendations for policy makers and environmentalists to better address and include marginalized or vulnerable communities in environmental remediation projects.

In his brilliant studies and accurate editions Anthony Newcomb has shown Alfonso Fontanelli’s contributions to the definition of “the new Ferrarese style of the 1590s” and, therefore, to the birth of the seconda pratica. My article focuses on a specific aspect of Fontanelli’s polyphonic writing: the handling of cadences for not only syntactical and tonally structural but also expressive purposes. The literary-musical analyses of some of the most representative settings published in Fontanelli’s two books of madrigals (1595 and 1604)—including masterpieces such as “Tu miri, o vago ed amoroso fiore” (Anonymous), “Io piango, ed ella il volto” (Petrarca), “Lasso, non odo più Filli mia cara” (Anonymous), and “Dovrò dunque morire” (Rinuccini)—shows, above all, the unusually wide range of Fontanelli’s cadential palette. He used not only traditional models (such as the perfect, authentic, Phrygian, and half cadences) but also a great variety of alternative solutions (including what Newcomb has named “evaporated” and “oblique” cadences) that are often so experimental and bold as to escape rigid classification. In the context of a basically chromatic, dissonant, harmonically restless, and tonally unfocused polyphonic flow such cadential variety seems to reflect Fontanelli’s intention not only to underscore the conceptual and emotional meanings represented in the verbal text but also to sharpen their large-scale affective contrasts. In these and other experimental traits of his “cadential style” Fontanelli further developed (possibly through the mediation of Jacques de Wert, and also under the influence of composers such as Luzzaschi and Gesualdo) those basic compositional techniques and exegetic principles that Cipriano de Rore, the real father of the seconda pratica, had already established in his later madrigals, and that Vincenzo Galilei, in turn, had neatly codified in his treatise on counterpoint (ca. 1588–1591).

Pacific island coral reef ecosystems are particularly threatened by anthropogenic stresses we can manage in the context of global threats we cannot control. State agencies are challenged to sample coastal waters at the spatial and temporal resolution needed to make decisions about improving watershed management. The acquisition of environmental data by committed non-profit organizations and trained community members represents a major opportunity to support agency monitoring programs and to complement field campaigns in the study of watershed dynamics. When data collection protocols match state agency protocols and these are supported by sufficient documentation there is an opportunity to create regulatory-quality data that can inform management. We describe the formation of the first volunteer group in Hawaii to establish a quality assured water quality sampling program to match the Hawaii Department of Health’s protocols. Hui O Ka Wai Ola, a partnership between three non-profit organizations on Maui, Hawaii, has trained 40 volunteers to use methods that directly match the state program. The group has taken over 900 discrete samples at 48 sites, providing the most comprehensive picture of water quality in Maui to date, motivating community activism and catalyzing large-scale restoration efforts in the adjoining watersheds. Results highlight coastal areas that have poor water quality, delineate a baseline from which to compare future restoration projects, and emphasize parts of the sampling protocol that might be improved for more reliable data.

Scientific approaches to the concept of "national security" are systematized in the article. The author substantiates that there are four main approaches to the concept of "national security". The first group - works devoted to the terminological characterization of national security. Another group - the authors define national security because of the state of protection of vital interests, the individual, society and the state against all kinds of threats. The third group is studies that analyze the types of national security, in particular: economic, environmental, financial, personnel, financial, social, etc. These characteristics reflect their socio-political nature, trace the unity of personal, public and state security, developing political and other processes. The fourth group of studies are those that pay attention to problems related to the correct use of the concept of "national security" and the possibility of its replacement. Fifth group - analyzes the interaction and correlation of threats and security.There is no single, well-defined definition of national security today. No matter what approach the authors use, there are different approaches, and in some cases, complications or simplifications of this category.In our opinion, national security should be understood as a state of protection of the individual, society and state against a wide range of internal and external threats, which ensure the realization of citizens' constitutional rights and freedoms, decent quality and standard of living, sovereignty, independence, state and territorial integrity. , sustainable socio-economic development of the state.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in the agro-industrial complex development of the Russian Federation, substantiate the organizational and economic recommendations aimed at stimulating Russian agricultural production and enhancing of this economy sector competitiveness. An extensive corpus of empirical data reflecting the agro-industrial complex development in the Russian Federation in 2016-2020, as well as its place in foreign trade operations of the Russian Federation has been thoroughly studied in frames of this research. Using the tools of statistical data processing (sampling, observation, summary and grouping), the methods of econometric analysis, the dynamics of agro-industrial complex products manufacturing, the rate of the main indicators’ change, the place of agro-industrial complex in export-import operations of the Russian Federation have been revealed, the main indicators have been compared. The geographic conditions diversity of the Russian Federation, combined with a wide range of climatic features, the availability of land and water resources creates favorable conditions for productive agricultural activities. It has been established that large-scale agricultural producers dominate in agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. The directions of agro-industrial complex, in particular, crop production and cattle rising, are unevenly developing in the Russian Federation. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which administratively represent the Southern Federal and North Caucasian Federal Districts specialize mainly in the cultivation of grain and oilseeds due to the natural and climatic factors’ action. State authorities of the Russian Federation successfully implement the tools to stimulate agricultural production, in particular: preferential taxation regime, subsidies for lending to the agro-industrial complex economic entities from the state budget, leasing development, etc. The state support mechanism effectiveness can be intensified by using the organizational and economic tools substantiated by the authors.
