The problem of ensuring the economic security arose before Ukrainian enterprises in the early 90’s. Within a short period of time, there was a rethinking of the importance of security for the functioning and development of each entity. The purpose of the study is to determine the historical stages and characterize the modern interpretation of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise” with the outline of current functional goals. To study the historical stages and characteristics of modern priorities of economic security of the enterprise used methods: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise”; synthesis and analysis – definition of the main approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise”; morphological analysis – to clarify the purpose and functional objectives of economic security of the enterprise; graphic – for a visual presentation of theoretical and methodological material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and conclusions of the study. The historical stages of changing views on the essence of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise” are considered. It is proved that the formation of modern understanding of economic security of the enterprise was not under the influence of foreign experience, but only through the influence of transformational processes in the national economy and business needs in developing a theoretical basis for the formation of protective redoubts. The current approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise” are characterized, which are based on the focus on: ensuring the protection of the enterprise; efficiency of use of corporate resources; stability and stability of the system; coordination of interests. It was found that today the representatives of business circles pay more and more attention to solving this problem, but without proper theoretical and methodological support and due to the exclusively gained experience such actions remain ineffective. It is substantiated that the departure from responding to the impact of individual threats with a focus solely on reducing losses in favor of building a system of economic security, which allows to identify and implement a set of protective measures, allows to keep internal processes under control and adapt to environmental changes.

В работе рассматривается возможность формирования в банковском секторе среды, в которой сотрудники смогут самостоятельно реализовывать цифровые инициативы для развития компании и самообучения. Обоснована необходимость её наличия. Проведен анализ соответствия поставленной проблемы российским и мировым трендам на основе изучения федеральных программ и оценок рейтинговых агентств. В результате исследования разработан бизнес-процесс реализации цифровых инициатив, про-веден конкурентный анализ его преимуществ и недостатков перед традиционным подходом к обучению. The article discusses the possibility of forming in the banking business an environment in which employees will be able to in-dependently implement digital initiatives for the development of the company and self-learning. The necessity of its presence is grounded. The analysis of compliance of the problem with the trends in Russia and the world based on the study of Federal programs and ratings agencies. To attract new staff with the necessary knowledge, banks have a number of tools - business classes, sponsorship programs, mentoring, hackathons, man-agement fights, case-championships, etc. It has been revealed that new professionals with technical skills can solve complex problems and generate products. But it’s difficult for them to dive into the banking sector, study its features and offer their own solutions to problems. It was also revealed that the company is interested in product results that are practice oriented. Com-bining product results and training is only possible by creating an environment in which they can discuss their ideas, find sup-port and implement them. As a result, a business process for the implementation of digital initiatives has been formed, a competi-tive analysis of its advantages and disadvantages over the tradi-tional approach to training has been conducted. strategies. The leading method of research is the definitions according grouping to the principles of the matrix method. It was revealed that the economic security concept is disclosed using factors freely com-bined into three groups (includes: sustainability, protection of interests, ensuring sovereignty), and the most common definitions are built using words-markers: state, security, advantage, process. One of the main study results is an algorithm for constructing the definition of the economic security concept, which allows to model and refine the definition of the concept based on the initial categories, consider-ing the economic context. The author's definition is also formulated, which reflects the interrelation of such components as the protection of interests, the impact of threats, the stability preservation, inde-pendence, ensuring development, self-adaptation and self-reproduction.

The article highlights the main destructive factors influencing the economic security of business, namely: risks, threats and dangers, the impact of which leads to undesirable changes in the structure, functions, parameters and effectiveness of business. In the context of scientific research on the nature and relationship of the concepts of «risk», «danger», «threat», as well as their impact on business, the work of both foreign and domestic scientists. The analysis of modern economic scientific literature made it possible to explore the theoretical and methodological approaches of both domestic and foreign scientists in the interpretation of these economic categories. In turn, this allowed us to summarize and present the most common of the existing approaches to defining the categories of «threat», «risk» and «danger» using a table. According to this study, a significant variety of approaches to these economic categories was identified, which led to an imbalance among scientific views and made it difficult to establish a single link between them. In addition, groups of scientists have been singled out, where some researchers identify the concepts of «risk», «threat» and «danger», while others distinguish them and see each other's sources of origin. Given the analysis of the essence of the definition of «risk», «threat» and «danger», we present our own author's approaches to their interpretations, established the distinctions and relationships between them. The vision of interaction of categories «risk», «threat» and «danger» is resulted by means of the scheme-drawing. The importance of a clear understanding of the nature and delimitation of each of the destructive factors, which is necessary for the implementation of research methodology of economic security of business, which allows to determine their scale and assess the impact on economic security. Thus, the identification and neutralization of potential and real risks, threats and dangers that negatively affect the state and effectiveness of entrepreneurial activity, necessitate new requirements to strengthen the economic security of entrepreneurial activity, and its level will determine the ability to resist destructive factors in the long run. Thus, in turn, the results of the research provide an opportunity to prepare a basis for further research related to the definition of methods and areas of prevention and neutralization of destructive factors affecting the economic security of business.

Urgency of the research. In the light of changes in the global security system, the problem of an adequate assessment of economic security in a regional context is acute. Existing methods provide for the calculation of a complex indicator or system of indicators for assessing economic security. Instead, the realities of today require a revision of the conceptual approach to the definition of "economic security", which will take into account the impact of the processes of interpenetration and the integration of economic systems of individual regions. Target setting. The problem of finding and testing new methods to assess the economic security of regions arises. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. A considerable amount of research is devoted to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the country's economic security. The classic approach to assessing economic security involves calculating the integral index and does not take into account the integration of individual regions and the country as a whole into world markets. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The need to change the angle of view on the monitoring of regional economic security arose in connection with: an increase in the scale and acceleration of the processes of globalization; difficult geopolitical situation in the country. The research objective. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of combining theoretical approach and indicative of the theory of open systems to assess the level of economic security of the region. The statement of basic materials. In this work an algorithm for using the apparatus of the theory of neural networks for the estimation of the economic system of the regions is developed. The obtained economic-mathematical model allows to perform clusterization of territorial units according to selected indicators of economic security. Testing of the developed algorithm is conducted on the basis of data on the state of economic development of the regions of Ukraine. Conclusions. The result of the simulation is a cluster structure that divided the totality of regions of Ukraine into four clusters according to selected classification characteristics. The results obtained have a clear economic interpretation.

Background. Ensuring the necessary and sufficient level of economic security is one of the most important issues for any enterprise. The conceptual bases of the theory of eco­nomic safety of the enterprise defines the strategy, tactics and mechanism of its maintenance, so it is very important to understand the essence of "economic interest" concept. The aim of the article is to clarify the content of the "economic interest of the enter­prise" concept and systematize the main essential characteristics of the definition. Materials and мethods. The questions of theoretical substantiation of the research object are based on general and special methods of cognition such as historical, abstract-logical and comparative. Methods of analysis and synthesis, analogies, system approach are used as a concept to determine the essential characteristics of the definition of"eco­nomic interest of the enterprise". Method of theoretical generalization and formulation of deductions have been used to draw conclusions. Results. Studies of the terminological principles of determining the economic inte­rest of the enterprise have established a large number of scientists’ opinions on the content of this concept. They are grouped into five main approaches – the appropriate goal; certain material (non-material) good; the need or system of needs of the entity; expression of rela­tions between the respective subjects; motivation and stimulus of the subject. Therefore, it is proposed to consider the economic interests of the enterprise, based on the awareness of their carriers of their own economic needs. The study clarified the main essential cha­racteristics of "economic interest of the enterprise" the concept, which includes the fact that economic interests are a form of manifestation of economic needs; personalized and sub­jec­tive nature of economic interests; focus on obtaining various benefits; awareness of the impact of media on the economic system and economic processes; dual nature of economic interests. Conclusion. We clarified the definition of economic interests of the enterprise. It is proposed to consider the concept as the perceived needs of their carriers, which can be met through economic activities and encourage them to influence directly or indirectly the com­ponents of the domestic economic system in order to obtain certain benefits.

Competitiveness at the firm level is a subject of interest not only to managers and policy makers but also academics. An effective functioning under the conditions of new economy requires from the enterprises to develop their core capabilities and talents along with the ability to quickly identify and seize the opportunities generated by market environment. The implementation of such an approach allows the creation and sustain of economic surpluses in the long-run. The paper aims to examine the profitability of enterprises in Poland which is regarded in the context of absorption of EU funds in years 2007–2013. Taking into account that Poland became one of the largest beneficiaries, it is worth analyzing the impact of EU funding on the economic performance of Polish enterprises. The paper offers a critical reflection on the relationship between the absorption of EU funds and Polish enterprises competitiveness on the basis of  the content analysis literature and statistical data derived from the European Commission, the Central Statistical Office and the Ministry of Regional Development. It is assumed simultaneously that the competitiveness of enterprises is expressed in the term of profitability rates. In spite of limitations which relate to the adopted definition of competitiveness and the short period of the conducted analysis concerning the key relationship, the paper contributes to the debate on the significance of EU Funds in the process of building modern and innovative economy.

Increasing the instability of Ukrainian enterprises, which requires increasing attention to solving the problem of ensuring the required level of financial security requires consideration not only of methodological aspects of creating and adjusting the subsystem in the economic security of the enterprise, but also forming approaches to assessing its management. To develop a methodological approach to assessing the management of financial security of the enterprise used methods: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the terms "efficiency" and "effectiveness"; synthesis and analysis – to identify and characterize the essence of the main approaches to management evaluation; morphological analysis – to clarify the list of indicators and determine the sequence of calculation of group indicators; graphic – for visual presentation of theoretical and methodical material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and conclusions of the study. A methodical approach to assessing the management of financial security of the enterprise, which provides for the gradual definition of individual indicators with their combination into groups of three components: financial security of the enterprise, evaluating the effectiveness of security entities and evaluating the effectiveness of organizational structure and resources. The developed approach is based on theoretical bases, which include: criteria for assessing the financial security of the enterprise; provisions on the interaction of structural units in the process of ensuring the financial security of the enterprise; requirements for input information; principles of formation and use of the evaluation system of financial security management of the enterprise. The formed methodical approach promotes achievement of the key purposes of an estimation: a reliable estimation of management of financial safety of the enterprise as a whole and in a cut of the basic components; determining the impact of factors on the change in the level of financial security, the effectiveness of the actions of security entities and the effectiveness of the use of organizational structure and resources; improving the evaluation process in accordance with changes in the main stages of financial security management of the enterprise and the provisions for ensuring the economic security of the enterprise.

Modern globalization processes cause the emergence of new threats to society, and necessitate the development of innovative mechanisms to overcome them in order to improve the level of security at various levels of management. The objective of this study is to test the methodology for assessing the level of security of the economic system of the region (based on the use of an integral indicator), as well as the definition of mechanisms for its provision at the meso-level. The structure of this indicator includes aspects of the impact on the stability of the system of the following factors (market, non-market and social ones), based on the system of indicators (the number of employed population, the cost of technological innovation per capita, investment in fixed capital, etc.). The calculation of summary indicators is given on the example of one of the subjects of the Russian Federation (Volgograd region), which allowed to determine negative changes in the level of economic security in the region (significant technological backwardness, consistent depletion of natural resources, growth of budget commitments, etc.). Due to the comprehensive assessment, a list of factors that cause this condition has been identified with the aim of further targeted impact from public authorities to overcome the negative trends in the economic system of the region and (or) leveling their consequences. The development of mechanisms to ensure the economic security of the region, based on the above-mentioned method of integrated assessment, allows not only to fully assess the state of the regional economy, but also to identify the potential to strengthen the position of the entity of the country both at the national and international arena.

The aim of this paper is to reveal connections between Upper Pleistocene soil types and the vegetation, which existed during their formation. Palaeovegetation was reconstructed on the basis of pollen analysis, whereas morphological description of palaeosols and the data from their laboratory study (grain-size and bulk chemical analyses, contents of Corg., CaCO3 and dry salts) were used to reconstruct palaeopedological processes. The Kryva Luka sedimentary sequence was accumulated in a deep palaeogully (the incision of which occurred in early Kaydaky times), where, as a result of high sedimentation rates, welldeveloped Upper Pleistocene pedocomplexes formed, on one hand, and very good preservation of pollen was thus guaranteed. Several phases of soil development occurred in Kaydaky, Pryluky and Vytachiv times (the Ukrainian Quaternary framework), all represented in the section by individual palaeosols, separated by loess-like beds, or by erosional surfaces. The data collected demonstrates a cyclic pattern of short-period palaeoenvironmental changes during the Late Pleistocene. The last interglacial is related by paleopedological and pollen data to the Kaydaky unit. The pre-temperate stage of the interglacial is revealed in the gully deposits of subunit ‘kd1a’. The early-temperate stage corresponds to the Luvisol of subunit ‘kd1b’, which was formed under broad-leaved woods dominated by oak. The late-temperate stage is recorded in the Greyzemic Phaeozem of the soil ‘kd3b1’ (by the appearance of hornbeam) and the Mollisol ‘kd3b2’. The post-temperate stage of the interglacial and the transition to the early glacial occurred during formation of the uppermost bed of thelatter and the incipient soil ‘kd3c’. (pedosediments were also accumulated at this time). Both vegetational composition and the soil types reflect a warmer and wetter climate for the temperate part of the last interglacial, as compared to that existing in modern times. The soils of different phases of Pryluky and Vytachiv times were formed during interstadials, with cooler climates than at present. As recorded both in soil types and pollen assemblages, the climates during the early interstadials of Pryluky and Vytachiv times were wetter than now (particularly during the ‘pl1b1’ phase), but during their late interstadials, the climate was drier than the modern one (particularly during the phase ‘pl3b2’). On the basis of TL-dating obtained in sections in western Donetsk area and Central Ukraine, Pryluky times correspond to interstadials and stadials of the early glacial, whereas Vytachiv unit may be related to the middle pleniglacial. Types of cryostructures, connected with loess-like deposits of the stadials, indicate that the studied area in those times was under a severe continental climate, with deep seasonal freezing of the grounds. Nevertheless, the absence of ice pseudomorphs and of pollen of arctoalpine plants indicates that permafrost was not present. Changes in palaeopedogenic processes (as well as in types of sedimentation) mainly paralleled changes observed in the palaeovegetation. The extent of wooded areas, the role of broad-leaved trees in the forest composition, and the spread of xeric herbal associations had particularly notable effects on the development of pedogenic processes.

The correlation between the development of a regional economy and the degree of infrastructural development of a country or its territory is a common practice. Considering this, the paper is aimed at studying the impact of water infrastructure on the economic security of regional socio-economic systems in order to develop a water security system for them. A variety of threats against key waterworks can seriously undermine the national economy and water security of regions and cities. Thus, the study analyzes the process of transformation of water infrastructure in the context of ensuring the economic security of regional socio-economic systems. It offers the definition of such categories as “water infrastructure” and “water security of a regional socio-economic system” to formulate a relevant economic policy in Ukraine based on world experience. The study proves the need to attribute water infrastructure to the critical infrastructure sectors of Ukraine and its regions, based on the best world practices in managing water resources and protecting the water infrastructure itself from technogenic, physical, and cyber-physical threats. According to the study results, conceptual bases for ensuring the economic security of regional socio-economic systems are developed, which differ in view of the water security system of the regional socio-economic system, giving priority to the engineering and technical infrastructure of a region.

This article deals with the reason for the impact on the axles of a railway vehicle on a straight switch rail when crossing the deflecting device of a main track turnout. This phenomenon has been studied by means of the development of a dynamic model, whose theoretical basis is also explained. The dynamic model allows the axle movement on crossing the deflecting device to be represented and provides extremely interesting data relating to speed, acceleration and guiding forces. Finally, the article describes two types of deflecting device modifications (the FAKOP and the CATFERSAN) that will result in improved movement across the deflecting device. A proposal is made for the modification of the geometry of the straight stock rail, known as CATFERSAN, which prevents the phenomenon described above. This modification can be easily incorporated into both new deflecting device designs and those already in use on the tracks, causing them to be inoperative during a short period of time.
