Virtual media like television or other types of media influence the audience from year to year more and more powerful. The role of social networks as a source of information and its interpretation is growing especially rapidly. Modern pagans (neo-pagans) in Ukraine represent a small part of religiously oriented citizens of Ukraine. However, they are also present in the information virtual space. And not only in their social groups and pagan sites. Quite often, representatives of the pagan movement of Ukraine and their worldview and lifestyle became the objects of news related to conflict situations. Typically, in virtual media, information was conveyed through the prism of "pagans and others". Thus, voluntarily or involuntarily, there is the perception of the pagans in Ukraine and the pagan movement as a whole is somehow exotic, extravagant, sometimes dangerous and even hostile. Although paganism is not widely known in Ukraine, it is also not informationally isolated. For the majority of the population of Ukraine, paganism is more associated with "Ivan Kupala", jumping over a fire and spectacular historical reconstructions. However, the media covers not only holidays and interesting rituals, but also conflict situations related one way or another with the rejection of the pagans and their worldview. I focused only on the most resonant cases, which received quite noticeable and lengthy coverage in the Internet media. Among them: the destruction (burning, logging, dousing) of the shrines of the pagans. Such cases became especially resonant on Khortytsya island in Zaporizhzhia, where one of the centers of the pagan movement of Ukraine, the Ruske Pravoslavne Kolo, was deployed. The acts of vandalism and religious hatred also took place in the other cities of Ukraine. Among the most high-profile cases is the destruction of a wooden statue of Perun and a stone sculpture of Svitovid (a copy of the Zbruchansky idol) in Kyiv. Also publicized was the case of the taking away by social services of children from pagan parents in Buki willage in the Zhytomyr region and their return through the court. Relations between pagans, Ukrainian Greek Catholics, and the local population of the Gusyatinsky district in the Ternopil region were difficult, too. Stormy discussions on social networks caused the burial of the pagan who died in the war, Marian Nayda.

It is devoted to the problem of analyzing memes as a tool of information warfare. The article analyzes the history and origin of the study of memes as a phenomenon of information interaction and social technology. Memes can be interpreted as: image, idea, symbol, action, any cultural information copied by one person from another; the collective unconscious at the moment of acquiring verbal and visual form; specially created information message, which is distributed in the information space and is intended to form the necessary picture of the human world and make appropriate decisions. The meme influences the perception of reality and drives action. Different types, types of memes and their characteristics are considered. There is a diversity of spread of this phenomenon: global Internet memes, understandable to a wide range of people, and local memes that require specific awareness (gaming, hacking, scientific, professional). Emphasis is placed on the use of memes in contemporary armed conflicts. The information war, combined with the peculiarities of the modern information society, led to the use of new technologies to influence the mass consciousness, in particular, memetic weapons. The article analyzes memetic weapons as a technology of using memes for the distribution of beneficial information in the information space of the object of information confrontation. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of the perceptions of memes by ATO participants and volunteers. The urgency of the problem is determined by the need to analyze the impact of ideas reflected in Internet memes on the mass consciousness during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Within the framework of the Polish-Ukrainian project "Crisis Intervention – Support for NGOs in Ukraine Working with ATO Soldiers and Their Families", 20 flexible interviews were conducted. The focus of the study may be to analyze the perception and functioning of political Internet memes on social media. Empirical studies of the influence of Internet memes on the structural components of the psyche of Internet users are also promising. The war in eastern Ukraine reaffirmed the paradigm shift of modern warfare, demonstrated the thoroughness of a thorough study of the phenomenon and the need to develop entirely new approaches to the realization of political and military goals.

In order to investigate the problem, we conducted a psychodiagnostic study. During the implementation of the survey, the following tools were used: A. Bass – A. Darkey Questionnaire, Mini-Multifactor Test, Suicidal Risk Questionnaire (T.N. Razuvaeva Modification), Kimberley-Young Internet Addiction Test, Method for determining the tendencies to deviant behavior (A.Orel). The survey was conducted through the written face-to- face group survey of respondents. The resulting data was processed and summarized using statistical processing methods (SPSS v 23). The sample consisted of 78 adolescents (33 boys and 45 girls) aged 15-16 years. According to the results of the analysis, we distinguished two groups of subjects: teenagers with a tendency to deviant behavior and adolescents without such an inclination. Group 1 has included subjects who had high predisposition to the deviant behavior, high rates of aggression, a tendency to Internet addiction, and increased scores of the scale of susceptibility to delinquent behavior. Group 2 has included subjects who did not show the tendency to manifest deviant behavior, and the indicators according to the study were quite low or moderate. Between the indicated groups, differences were shown for a number of indicators. It is stated that adolescents with a high tendency to deviant behavior are characterized by the dominance of emotions over intellectual control in the assessment of situations, affectiveness, disposition to the addictive behavior, computer addiction, as well as high levels of aggression (physical and verbal), feelings of guilt and negativity, demonstration and hypochondria etc. Analyzing the results of the study, we applied the correlation analysis, which revealed the existence of the interconnections between the indicators of "paranoia" with "demonstrativeness" and "uniqueness", as well as between the indicators of aggression and propensity for delinquent behavior.

The article examines the legal regulation of using cloud technologies for information storage. The author analyses the legal acts of Ukraine, the European Union, the USA, and self-governing organisations that unite intermediaries of cloud information systems regulating relations in data storage and using cloud technologies for user information processing. The author considers the provisions on the definition of cloud computing and cloud storage from the point of view of law. The author analyses specific regulations governing legal relations in the storage field and the use of information in cloud storage. The main functions are analysed: information storage creation of a multi-level database; collection of data and their systematisation, storage of big data and their processing; information exchange; support of other services; collection of data and their distribution by applications; and economic function. It is noted that the legal regulation of information storage in cloud storage is complex.

The article highlights the trend of reinstitutionalisation of propaganda and counter propaganda after a brief historical era of international hiatus in the 1990s when the propaganda-related institutions were dismantled in many countries worldwide. The latter trend is exemplified by a number of processes, including the phenomenon of the Russian propaganda that has evolved after Putin took office, and the emergence of the strategic communications offices in Europe starting from 2015. The revival of propaganda 2.0 is a result of the hybrid wars that have engulfed leading countries worldwide. Propaganda is a systematic effort to manipulate other people's beliefs and spread chaos. Although the current propaganda aims resemble the ones used during the Cold War, the new tech abilities have enhanced its tactics. While the Internet, digitalization and social media platforms offer new opportunities for secret services and relevant experts, the phenomenon of "open consсiousness" allows an average consumer to be unwillingly affected by the messages that contain propaganda. It is argued that counter-propaganda tools should factor in media literacy efforts and building resilience among the general population to withstand disinformation messages. A number of organizations focused at countering propaganda has been created as a means of an institutional solution. Following a watershed moment in Ukraine two relevant organizations were established in 2021: Centre for Countering Disinformation (as part of the National Security and Defense Council) and Centre of Strategic Communications and Information Security (as part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Politics). These organizations aim at carrying out relevant work in line with their EU counterparts.

A new diagnostic tool has been proposed for use in modern corporations to support a wide range of problems related to the interaction of company staff in solving work tasks. This new development combines the strengths of tools already used in this field, namely, DISC and MBTI.

The tool contains a description of 4 factors and 16 types based on these factors, as well as a questionnaire on 33 questions, which identifies the respondent's affiliation to the type based on the assessment of the result for each of the 4 scales. For the types, practical principles for the transition from the type to its place in the corporate organizational structure have been proposed, as well as the types are associated with commonly known archetypes for their intuitive understanding. An example of an organizational structure consisting of the proposed types has been provided, but at the same time it reflects the typical organizational structure of an economical corporation.

An empirical study of the reliability for new questionnaire in a sample of more than 2,300 respondents from the Internet search engines users has been conducted. Sufficient levels (> 0.7) of Cronbach's alpha and MacDonald's omega are shown in exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis for each of the factors. The factors independence is shown as well. The proposed scales are also compared with the scales of methods for assessing emotional intelligence and creativity.

Thus, the proposed typology is designed to solve a wide range of organizational tasks from building a new organization to optimizing the use of staff in existing project teams, and the work of recruitment and staff development departments.

The article raises issues of development of the new University ethics based on the Ukrainian higher education conventions institutions and on the transition to the European educational tradition. On the other hand, a new ethic is influenced by the immersion of mankind on the Internet. The honour as prime category of etics, needs a new definition in the 21st century. It should be noted that there is a new social reality that is characterized by the super-fast pace of life, events and changes. It leads to an increase in uncertainty and insecurity of the individual in the face of reality, and to refusal of a person to achieve perspective for temporary, immediate results. Instant information exchange between the most remote places on the planet leads to non-critical perception of information and to dependence on it. One of the alarming symptoms of uncontrolled absorption of information is plagiarism as blurring the line between the personal and the common. Changes in society in terms of global information flow require the definition of a new ethics of discourse, which is based on the achievement of consensus between all people, on the awareness of changes, on the work on the most problematic points in the human/social system, and on the clear definition of the rules of work with information and plagiarism. Contemporary education must respond to these civilizational challenges and prevent the leveling of personal creativity and work. Together with sociology, philosophy, Ukrainian studies, pedagogics should be involved in determining the degree of responsibility of each person for those processes that take place in society.

The purpose of the study is to determine the level of readiness of social workers to teach digital technologies to the elderly in universities of the third age, which operate based on territorial centres of social services. The study was conducted in the Poltava region from June 2020 - October 2020. The sample was social workers who provide educational services to students of the University of the Third Age. The total number of respondents was 73 people.The digital literacy analysis of social workers providing geronto-education services was conducted according to five main parameters: information literacy, computer literacy, communication and media literacy, and technology literacy.The results of the digital literacy assessment show that two-thirds of social worker-teachers have enough knowledge, skills and follow the right attitudes. At the same time, digital skills received an average of 3.2 points (3.4 urban and 3.0 rural) out of 5 possible. The majority of social workers (66 people, 90%) have been actively using digital technologies in the geronto-educational process of the Third Age University for less than ten years.The study found out that 96% of social workers-gerorogists desire to move to online learning in the current situation, of which 78% expressed a desire to undergo professional retraining in online learning.As the main obstacles to mastering and developing gerorogical technologies-innovations, social workers named: insufficient awareness of digital innovations, lack of scientific and methodological literature on social technologies for teaching elderly people; lack of logistics for the application of gerorogical digital innovations; lack of material incentives.The results of the study indicate the need to develop social workers-gerorogists: knowledge in the field of modern computer technology and software, as well as the principles of their work; skills of using modern technologies (gadgets and applications); installations in the field of verification of information from the Internet and mass media; attitudes about the benefits of modern gadgets for the daily life of a professional.

The rapid development of the Internet has had an unprecedented impact on the improvement of the sociological method. At the turn of the millennium, this has led to the search for a new methodology and a gradual loss of interest to use of quantitative methods, which was perceived by specialists as a "crisis of empirical sociology". In the last decade, it turned out that almost all social processes of any level find their reflection in the virtual space, leave and accumulate so-called "digital footprints", which opens to researchers the widest perspectives for study of social reality. This article considers the features of digital primary information and generalized approaches to its use in terms of quantitative methodology. The author emphasizes that the classical sociological methods, which are based on mathematical statistics, are suitable for the analysis of digital reality and getting adequate research results. At the same time, as noted by most authors, who have studied this subject, there are perspectives for improving traditional sociological methods through: 1) a combination of representativeness of quantitative and depth of qualitative approaches to information analysis; 2) in-depth collection of paradata; 3) opportunities to study hard-to-reach social groups; 4) opportunities to fully implement the "principle of freedom from evaluation" due to the "non-reactivity" of digital data; 5) the ordering of digital footprints in space and time by clearly fixing the hosting. The post-demographic model of the social actor opens new ways to build samples of quantitative sociological research, which may be representative in terms of the classical sociological approach. The examples of research from this article show that the classical sociological method easily to adapt for the new digital reality and can be the basis for sociological consulting, development of social technologies in various spheres of social life.

The article deals with the problem of the legislative regulation of advocacy done by the Law of Ukraine on the Bar and practice of law from 2012 and the Rules of the Bars' ethics confirmed by the electing meeting of the Bars of Ukraine on June, 9th 2017. The structure and competence of the Ukrainian national bodies of the lawyers' self-governance crated according to the Law from 2012 and after the requirement of the Council of Europe as a precondition of the membership of Ukraine on the European Union are also outlined. The author illustrates the main types of conflicts that a lawyer encounters during his / her professional activity like the conflict situations, conflicts and the tense conflicts and proposes the ways to reconcile them. It is shown, that the most effective ways to reconcile conflicts are compromises and negotiations. Such methods of conflict's reconciliation often used in the lawyers' milieu without significant positive results as the blackout of conflicts or attempts to salve them are also mentioned. Special attention is paid to the very important question of entrance of the Ukrainian Bars to the leading European and world lawyers and legal societies which became possible only after the creation of the Ukrainian National Bar Association as the national regulator in the lawyers' profession. The author has reviewed the requirements of the Ethics Rules of European Union's countries regarding the resolution of lawyers' conflicts with colleagues and clients, a.o. from foreign countries. The author has also analyzed the Ukrainian Ethics Rules regarding the most common conflicts in the activity of Ukrainian lawyers, in particular regarding conflicts of interest, the combination of legal practice with public, scientific and journalistic activities, as well as lawyers' activities and communication on the Internet.

The article deals with the chronology of the legal regulation for bankruptcy in Ukraine at the stage of its economic recovery, clarifies the essence of its elements, as well as the effectiveness of the entire legal mechanism and its individual components. The authors pay attention to the legal regimentation of the bankruptcy procedure and to the legal acts that regulate its implementation. The main novelties and shortcomings of these acts and their impact on law enforcement practice and on the economy as a whole are highlighted. The article considers the approaches of the legislator to the settlement of the legal status of creditors, their representative bodies, the arbitration managers, as well as the implementation of certain court procedures applied to the debtor at different stages of bankruptcy legislation development. It was found that the Bankruptcy Law, as amended in 2002, became one of the driving forces of Ukraine's economic growth. It is determined that the Recommendations of Supreme Economic Court of Ukraine have highlighted one of the key provisions (principles), in particular the priority of the Bankruptcy Law over other legal acts and the latter can be applied in insolvency as much as necessary and possible. It is substantiated that the Bankruptcy Law, as amended in 2011, contained both the development of judicial practice as well as revolutionary provisions and the achievement of technical progress in the field of the Internet, which contributed to bringing the bankruptcy proceedings to a higher level. It is argued that a number of provisions of this law were used in the preparation of the Commercial and Procedural Code of Ukraine and the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine. It is determined that a number of the most important provisions of the legislation of the period under study were not reflected in the latest bankruptcy legislation, in particular: clear conditions for initiating bankruptcy proceedings; variety of bankruptcy procedures applied to debtors with legal personality; indefinite circle of subjects of bankruptcy and those persons who are not included in the named circle.
