Purpose. The purpose of this article is to analyse changes in the legislation in the field of social insurance during 1991-2021, their causes and consequences, and identify some problems that need to be solved currently. Methods. The methodological basis of the article is the dialectical method of cognition of legal phenomena. The article also implies the usage of historical, comparative, formal-legal methods, methods of rational criticism and forecasting. Results. The article analyses the development of legislation in the field of social insurance (certain aspects of social insurance reform and the development of legislation in terms of determining the length of contribution period and calculating the insurance contribution necessary for obtaining social security of various types) during the years of independence of Ukraine (1991-2021). The prerequisites for legislative changes and consequences are emphasized. The critical assessment of the quality of legislation is also given, taking into account the large number of decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on declaring a number of provisions of the legislation to be unconstitutional, which indicates insufficient attention of the legislator to the non-violation of constitutional guarantees of social protection of people. Attention is drawn to innovations in legal regulation caused by the military operations in eastern Ukraine and the respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This article examines some legislative changes that attracted some significant public interest and concerned a considerable number of people. Conclusions. When declaring provisions unconstitutional, it is not always logical to continue the settlement of legal relations on a disputed issue, which leads to a vacuum in legal regulation. The presence of inconsistencies in regulatory legal acts indicates the need to analyse the current legislation and improve the quality of documents. The issue of crediting the period to the insurance record when the employee, who was called up for service in the armed forces, participated in the ATO in 2014-2016, needs to be resolved, and therefore, it is proposed to amend Articles 11 and 40 of the law of Ukraine "On Mandatory State Pension Insurance" accordingly. Keywords: social insurance, pension reform, contribution period, single social contribution, salary compensation.

Ukraine, which is currently facing of a cluster of various serious problems, has to revise its strategies of state building. A state without a consolidated society and a clear national idea has no future. Ukrainian sociology and the political forces are in a situation of ongoing conflictization. It is necessary to formulate and explain the genuine content of the category "national idea", which is crucial for Ukrainian society. To classify social conflicts it is necessary to apply an integrative approach, as the methodological foundation for any analytical study of conflicts. In the framework of an integrative approach conflicts are usually regarded not only as a narrative of ruin, a source of death, but also as a certain change that gives the chance to create a new society, as a source of progress. This study analyzes aspects of the conflictization of the national idea in modernity as exemplified by the political studies of the Ukrainian intellectual Ivan Franko.
To formulate the ultimate goal it is important to note that the importance of the creation of the national idea and Ukrainian national self-determination depends on the clarification of favorable conditions and problematic historical aspects of political, juridical, and other societal practices. In order to preserve their territorial integrity Ukrainians should understand the nature of conflictization, which entails not only a divide, but at the same time progress. To unite society it is necessary to orient the people toward some clearly formulated common goal. It turns out that conflictization corroborates the level of conflicts of Ukrainian society. This enforces its movement and progress, because conflictization is in the first place determined by a strong bipolarity of trends and disharmony of thoughts. Therefore, it is important to take into account clearly formulated ideas put forward by various opinion leaders and to disseminate them among the population.

The article presents the results of research of the formation of historical memory, conflicts of memories, the correlation of individual and collective memory in human consciousness, which today is one of the most relevant in the Ukrainian humanities, given the annexation of Crimea, Russian aggression against Ukraine and ongoing conditions the struggle for the establishment and assertion of the independence of our state. The phenomenon of historical memory is one of those that a wide range of humanities are trying to study: philosophy, history, sociology, culturology, psychology, etc. The semantic content of the concepts "conflict (or war) of memories", "individual historical memory", "collective historical memory", the relationship between the concepts of "memory" and "history" is considered. It is emphasized that memory is an important condition that determines the activity of a person and a certain social group. The reasons for the development of memory conflicts may be in the intensification of ambiguous interpretations of the past, opposing interpretations of the past, official policy in the cultural sphere, regional features of the interpretation of past events, which leads to changes in toponymy, symbolism, etc.
In addition, today in Ukrainian society there are several vectors of conflicts of memory: from the memory of the USSR ("beautiful Soviet country" or "terrible totalitarian state") to one of the sharpest conflicts of memory, concerning the actual heroic discourse that unfolded with the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, raising a painful question: who to consider a hero?
It is emphasized that today memories of the past, of collective historical traumas, and their processing are sometimes used to confront peoples and cause conflicts of memories. The past orients society to the system coordinates of "friend and foe", forms views on national interests and determines preferences. The task of the individual in these conditions - to maintain critical thinking and try to learn as deeply as possible the actual, archival material. It is argued that memory conflicts are a reflection of both individual and collective consciousness and need to be further understood in multidisciplinary scientific discourse.

The concept of complex psychological adaptation of first-year students for student life is presented. Theories of adaptability of adolescents and adolescents and the concept of their adaptation to new minds of life and activity are generalized. The results of the empirical study of the individual-psychological qualities of the freshmen, the features of their social interaction and academic motivation are described. The experience of the psychological support of the process of adaptation of students who are internally displaced to study at a university is analyzed. Their true personal and character peculiarities, ways of adapting to the situation and responding to adverse influences from the external environment are determined. The perspective circle of researches in the field of psychological support and support of internally displaced students is outlined. Adaptation to learning has been found to be a complex process of learning the norms and rules of an educational institution, forging friendships with one-groupers, and for constructive relationships with teachers; development of strategies of educational activity and initial activity. The article determines that the adaptation of internally displaced first-year students to study should come as an active tertiary adaptation of students to the higher education institutions, in the process of developing students' skills and ability to organize their understanding, and life, the system of working with professional self-education and self-education of professionally significant qualities of personality. It has been found that the process of adaptation to university education is a complex system of transformations that occur with a person in accordance with changes in the minds of existence. The beginning of a student's life is connected with numerous social changes; replacement of existing attitudes and stereotypes; stressful situations. For some students, this can lead to the substitution of a real sense of adulthood by activities such as freedom to attend classes, unsystematic homework, and so on. All of this can, over time, be transformed into a reluctance to study, attend a school, and participate in one's social life.

The research is aimed at disclosing the threats to national security in the humanitarian sphere related to the need of outlining value- and sense-bearing contents in terms of social shifts, military actions, and an axiological crisis, as the actualization of historical and cultural heritage and ethnonational processes overlaps with the axiologically inhomogeneous and fragmentary modern sociocultural space. The complexity of national security policy formation is due to the fact that it must encompass social, economic, political, and cultural features of unity; create national space without denying the right to represent other identities. Thus, it is crucial to form the common sociocultural space as horizontal solidarity of the society based on the national identity's dominant values. The notion of national values must serve as a conceptual basis for such an approach as, along with the notion of national interests, it most fully depicts the specifics of the humanitarian sphere. The legacy of substance and spirit, as well as traditional ethnonational dimensions, which are fundamental for the national being of Ukraine and allow feeling a constant connection with the Motherland, form an essential foundation for the further representation of Ukrainians and their culture in Ukraine and abroad. The article draws attention to the insufficient depiction of humanitarian problems, the role of national values in the formation of national interests and goals in the strategic security documents of Ukraine. The fact of constructing fake identities and nourishing separatist tendencies in the regions of Ukraine as an element of hybrid warfare requires the state's reaction. Consideration of dominant meanings and values when working on legal documents in the educational field, language issue, and ethnocultural processes will allow the prognosis of conflict situations, security threats, and elaboration of tools to avoid the crisis.

In the article, through the prism of competence tasks, the features of forming the professional readiness of future specialists to self-realization in conditions of hypochondriac nosology with psychosomatic trait are considered. Exploring this issue, we can emphasize the important point that in order to achieve professional success, a person must be endowed with individual professionally significant qualities characteristic of the chosen profession, which in the long-term activity change the psyche of the individual and can cause hypochondrial disorders with psychosomatic manifestation. Focusing on the confirmation or refutation of the hypothesis, we examined the relationship of psychosomatic manifestations of hypochondriacal character with the localization of their manifestations within a certain chronotype. In the course of the research there was a need to specify the interrelation of professional requirements and personal potentials that contribute to preserving the psychosomatic health of a person and promoting self-development in professional activity. Specialists of different professions also have features that distinguish them from each other, but in this case, it is the preservation of psychosomatic health of these people and is an urgent problem, which will solve the harmonious development, psychosomatic state of personality, psycho-functional state in the implementation of their own creative search and professional treasure. In the aspect of educational-informative problems, the criterion-effective component of the model, which includes motivational-value, cognitive-personal, creative-activity, reflexive-regulatory criteria of increasing the level of readiness of future specialists for psycho-emotional safety of activity, has been determined. Given such basic emotional attitudes in the human body, we can say that situational anxiety is the trigger mechanism in the pathogenesis of psychosomatic manifestations of hypochondriacally character, namely hypochondriacal behavior with disturbance of the skin. Intrusive conditions include: avoiding contact with objects that serve as a source of germs and bacteria; obsession with purity and the like. Fear and feelings of inferiority, social isolation, negativity accompanied by frustration, irritability, frustration, guilt, suspicion, anger were also observed in other indicators of the conducted research. It is established that the above criteria contributed to the isolation of psychological and temporal indicators of hypochondriacal diseases, which act as a methodological basis for the development and practical implementation of the system of chronological and psychological prediction of the course of hypochondria, outline specific directions of medical and psychological disorders On the basis of this problem we have developed an algorithm for chronobiological prognosis of psychosymptomatic symptoms, course, treatment efficiency and optimization of adaptive capacity of patients with hypochondrial disorders. Its essence was to acquaint the study participants with information about the recurrence of hypochondrial disorders, the causes of their recurrence and the consequences in the educational and information environment.

The problematic of the categorical aspect of the term of the soul through the prism of the principle of systematicity (organization) has been reviewed in the article. The problematic of the place of the category of a soul in the categorical apparatus of theoretical psychology have been shown through the context of general categories of the structure of the human – an organism, an individual, an individuality, a personality, the I, the subject. The problematic of analysis and disclosure of the meaning load of the specified of categories which is due to the application of the principle of determinism to their analysis has been noted. The possibility of building a hierarchical range of categories as levels of concretization (organization) of a mental structure of the one by analogy with respect to such a range of levels of concretization (organization) of a living that have been shown. It has been noted that specifics for a range of levels of organization of a living one is its start with a unit of analysis of what is alive – an organism, also specific is its completion represented as a unit of development of a living form of life – a body. The conceptual filling of range of levels of an organization that is characteristic to a mental structure is appropriate of general categories of the structure human in accordance with the principle of systemicity has been proposed. The article also deals with the connection of the concept of a soul with categories that lie beyond the scope of psychological science per se, like philosophy. The necessity of the said action is justified by the historical context of the humanity's literary and social practices that include the notion of the soul. The article concludes with the outline of the future direction for theoretical research of the outlined problematic aimed at making space for the notion of the soul in psychological science and the system of its concepts. Overall, the work is dedicated to the efforts of bringing more clarity to the use of the concept of the soul within the existing paradigm of psychology.

The article provides reflexive analysis of the key factors of the cessation of armed conflict in the East of Ukraine and the return of the temporarily occupied regions of Donetsk to Lugansk oblasts under the authority and jurisdiction of our sovereign state.
As the oldest works on war and peace (Sun Tzu) are known, the longer the armed struggle is, the more difficult it ends with a just world, therefore, a wide range of approaches are usually proposed for resolving the armed conflict in the Donbass: from a compromise with the aggressor to victorious plans and strategies for a military solution to the liberation of captured territories. In the pre-election period, Ukrainian political parties, without theoretical justification, propose such populist approaches to solving difficult military-political problems. Our approach is based on the identification of the causes and consequences of the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the ORD and LO, the importance of adhering to the principles of international law, humanism and progress in the conduct of state policy, recognition of the factors of the key - activity factor of the peacemaking of multinational forces whose phenomenon is not explicated, theoretically unclear as to the peculiarities of the socio-political and humanitarian situation in the Donbass. Peacekeeping as a relatively new international legal and humanitarian phenomenon is attributed to the peaceful measures of the world community, which, according to the UN Charter, is taking "other measures" for the restoration of peace and the prevention of humanitarian catastrophes. His controversial nature follows from the fact that, on the one hand, the United Nations does not interpret its Statute, as "the right to intervene in cases that are essentially within the competence of any state, and on the other hand, it must take all measures for the establishment and preservation of peace.
He peculiarity of the use of multinational peacekeeping forces in the East of Ukraine is its work on the basis of the UN Charter, the synthesis of humanitarian, political, social missions, military and civilian control over the humanitarian situation, which could lead to disaster.

The article presents the analyses of the contemporary scientific understanding of the time gender aspects in the context of the social conflicts theories. It is accentuated that nowadays the life of the Ukrainian society is determined by two cultural codes: on the one hand, it is still the phase of the non-completed modernity project; on the other, – the western cultural postmodernity has been actively constructing its models of social practices in Ukraine for quite a number of recent years. Hence the specificity of social conflicts transformations in our country: contradictory modern and postmodern modes in their interrelation have a great impact on the social conflicts in Ukraine. It is significant that the typology of social conflicts and the motives for their origin are presented in this paper in their close interconnection with the aspects of the phenomenon of gender temporality, an attempt to manage the social temporality as the definite measurement of the social conflicts processes and their results. It is stressed that in the scientific literature the two temporality models prevail now: the mobilizing model and the model of the medium and eschatological time. These two models of gender temporality, namely, the mobilizing and eschatological ones, are analyzed and defined as such models that greatly influence the formation of the contemporary conflict-oriented social landscapes. The assumption of the gender temporality as a definite measurement of social conflicts and is accentuated by the concluding ideas of its actual capacity to be a kind of modus vivendi to their solution. The policy of the "unity of differences", which is a basis of the contemporary feminist agenda, and the "ethics of care" should become a model for the current development of the Ukrainian society and the supposed future transformations.

The article deals with aspects of the interconnection of the phenomena of social trauma and social conflict, especially in the context of modern Ukrainian society, as well as in the context of the problems of Ukrainian studies discourse. The authors note the extreme importance of the phenomenon of social trauma in the state of health, in the vital program of the individual, in the collective self-identification of social groups, in particular of nations, and the problems and specifics of the manifestation of social trauma in philosophical and sociological sciences. Social trauma is capable to influence the personality's understanding of the meaning of its existence, the interpretation of the direction of development of social processes, the content of interpersonal and intergroup relations in the society. As a result of the defeat of one of the parties of a social conflict, the trauma itself can turn into a conflict factor in the social organism. The authors emphasize the diverse impact of social trauma on the emergence and course of social conflicts in interpersonal and intergroup spheres in the history and contemporary realities of Ukrainian society. It is emphasized that social trauma can be caused not only by real but also by fictional events, which can also cause social conflicts. The article emphasizes the extremely important role of the value positions of the subjects of social conflict in the ranking of traumatic events in the Convention of Ukrainian Studies, shows the influence of these positions on the interethnic and interclass relations in Ukraine. The peculiarities of the connection of social trauma with social conflicts in the life of the modern Ukrainian society in the post-truth situation are also analyzed. The authors emphasize that provoking social conflict by means of creating a post-truth situation if post-truth speculates on real or imagined social trauma is especially dangerous for the society. An ongoing social conflict will be deep and lasting. The manipulation of historical facts by placing them in a post-truth situation is illustrated in the article by facts from the sphere of hybrid warfare conducted by the Russian Federation in the eastern territories of Ukraine. The article explores several aspects of the impact of social trauma on social conflicts in the context of anomie in the spiritual life of the Ukrainian society.

The article is dedicated to less studied aspect of external migration namely to the formation and functioning of migrant communities in host countries. The expediency of using the theory of social capital and the theory of migration networks as a theoretical and methodological basis for the study of migrant communities is substantiated. The developments of R. Park, J. Coleman, A. Portes are analyzed and the basic operational parameters of the social capital of migrant communities are constructed. The parameters of the functioning and transformation of social capital are analyzed in a two-dimensional space of autonomy and efficiency. The classification of migrant communities by type of social capital is proposed. The following types of communities are identified: 1) a low-efficient, highly autonomous community; 2) highly efficient highly autonomous; 3) a highly efficient and low-autonomous community. The article discusses the results of an expert survey of representatives of communities of Ukrainian migrants in the EU countries on the transformation of the social capital of these communities. The social capital of migrant communities of Ukrainians is "culturally bonding", aimed at preserving the common cultural identity of Ukrainians abroad in the context of a different cultural environment. Migrant communities of Ukrainian migrants remain relatively homogeneous in terms of culture, identity and practices. It is revealed that in the context of contemporary transformations of external migration, changes and social capital of migrant communities is changing too. The circular nature of migration at the present stage adversely affects the social capital of migrant communities, their permanent membership is diminished, social ties are weakened, the autonomy of communities is reduced and the integration of migrants into host societies is increased. Number of such communities today are to some extent deinstitutionalized.

The article's analysis focuses on the ontological aspects of social existence harmonious. Ethical principles of good are the main de-confliction mechanisms, factors that are reproduced and responsible for solving the problem of social and individual order. Universal ethical values - freedom, love, responsibility, creativity is a preexisting knowledge that produces, translates and reproduces the coherence practices of co-existence at both individual and social levels. It is revealed that the functionality of the latter is reproduced in the space of productive communication experience, which acquires personality in the social interaction context. The "threat" to ethical knowledge, which is the ontological basis of the social being organization, is the problem of ethics relativity. This problem arises and spreads as a result of the ethical knowledge objectification, its transformation into a thing. In other words, it is the transformation of universal values, the goals of ethics as spiritual phenomena, into the means of
achieving individual desire, personal well-being, the tools of satisfying my selfish desires, that transforms a person into a conformal consumer. From ancient hedonism to modern versions of transhumanism, ethical relativism theories continue to actively raise questions about the relevance of the ethical absolutism principles. It is noted that the dissonance that arises in connection with the actualization of the ethics relativism question indicates an aggravation of the formalization problem of spiritual knowledge. Consequently, ethical conformity is required to conform to the ontology of social being. This correspondence is based on the absoluteness of ethics as a condition for the functioning of harmonious social relations - on the one hand, and human development - on the other. Thus, the analysis of the consolidation mechanisms of human being, its integrity, harmony, should focus on the actualization of the ethical absolutism issue, which is particularly acute in today's conflict world. It is this perspective that explores the problems of integrating social and individual order and provides tools and solutions.

The article analyzes theoretical and legal, comparative and applied as well as terminological and conceptual aspects of the process of interpretation by the administrative courts of Ukraine of general and military-special regulations that are important for making informed decisions in military and legal public disputes. In order to determine a systematic approach to the possibility of reversing the execution of court decisions in administrative cases on appeals against decisions, actions and omissions of the subject of power, the subject of which is the payment of one-time cash benefits to servicemen, conscripts and reservists in case of death, total or partial disability, a systematic analysis of terms, words and phrases in the context of the normative content of Article 381 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine has been conducted. Based on the study, a logical conclusion has been made regarding the diversity and ambiguity of general legal terms, terminological phrases enshrined in the normative content of Article 381 of the CAP of Ukraine and their inconsistency with military-special terms and phrases enshrined in the normative-legal legislation of Ukraine, in particular in the field of military service and military-social legal relations. The results of the study allow the application of the provisions of Article 380 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine on the reversal of a court decision to the disputed military-protective legal relations. Further research on the peculiarities of the application of military and social legislation by administrative courts of Ukraine should be carried out by taking into account the requirements of military and social legislation of developed foreign countries and the current practice of the European Court of Human Rights.

The article reveals the heuristic potential of the sociological concept of social activity developed by the founder of the Kharkov Sociological School E. A. Yakuba in the 1960- 1980s. Based on historical and sociological material and conceptual analysis, the author demonstrates the potential of this concept from the sociology of knowledge perspective. He analyzes a number of related categories and problems that are introduced by E. A. Yakuba to discuss the problems of social activity. It is emphasized that the elected by E. A. Yakuba position allows to study and measure social activity in detail (that is, answer the question "how?"), However, it is the sociology of knowledge that gives a chance to study the sociogenesis and ontogenesis of social activity (that is, answer the question "why?"). The definition, systemic connections and methods of operationalization and indication of social activity proposed by E. A. Yakuba are given and analyzed. A separate emphasis is placed on the analysis of how the category of "social activity" is associated with the category of "subjectivity". The most important plot is the connection of the social essence of activity, that is, its inclusion in the sociality of the individual as a connection with the social whole. The evolution of the views of E. A. Yakuba on these categories, as well as their relationship with social maturity, activity, personality, is investigated. The possibilities of the sociology of knowledge in synthesizing various aspects of E. A. Yakuba approach are explored. Particular emphasis is placed on the consistency of E. A. Yakuba's theory, and also the limitations and specifics of the (often implicit) influence of Marxism on its development have been studied. The conclusion about the possibilities and limitations of updating the concept of "social activity" in a sociological-knowledge reassembling of E. A. Yakuba's theory is formulated.

The work is devoted to the psychological analysis of the features of the image of the leader at the present stage of development of the Ukrainian state. The need for psychological studies of the image is conditioned by the contradictions between the social practice of image functioning in different spheres of social life and the need for its theoretical reflection. Methods based on the means of social and psychological influence become significant. Among these tools, the image of the leader is essential. During the creation of his vision, the leader demonstrates the most attractive individual, personal, and professional qualities, learns to see them in themselves "from the side", is aware of his shortcomings, correlates his own characteristics with the standard of personality. In recent years, the concept of the image has firmly entered the information space. In most cases, the image is perceived by people like a specific value, which is associated with the success of certain activities, both individual and collective. Representatives of psychological science have increased their interest in the phenomenon of an image, as evidenced by the sharp increase in recent years in the number of scientific publications on topics related to the image or its aspects. As a result of research using the methods of a questionnaire survey followed by in-depth interviews in focus groups, the ranking structure of the expert model of an ideal modern leader and the ranking structure of the image model of a modern leader in everyday consciousness are presented. The findings of the study described the socio-psychological mechanisms of the functioning of the image as a phenomenon of interpersonal interaction, including: the manifestation of the characteristics of group interaction; the use of social representations and stereotypes; the realization of the self-concept of the subject of the image in correlation relationships with the self-concepts of other subjects of image interaction and the like. The disclosure of the socio-psychological mechanisms of the functioning of the image, their accounting and use are necessary for the development of productive activities on the formation of an optimal image as a phenomenon of interpersonal interaction.
