The article deals with the peculiarities of functioning of modern unrecognized states. Main characteristics which states should have are shown. There are different views of scholars on the opportunities of unrecognized states on the international arena. It is difficult for the states to develop under the conditions of limited recognition. Primarily they rely on humanitarian aid of international community. The relationships of unrecognized states with other states develop spontaneously. Most unrecognized and partly recognized states have a weak economy. The reasons for this are: ineffective state governance, shadow economy, small investment as a result of distrust of foreign business-structures, ruin of territory and infrastructure as a result of war. Anyway the population of most unrecognized states supports secession. It can be attained with the help of propaganda and creation the image of enemy in the face of mother state. The level of democracy in unrecognized states varies and democratic institutes and procedures may have just formal character. Foreign patrons have a strong influence on vital activities of unrecognized states. They forward the economic development of unrecognized states, establish different investment projects, become a market for their products. The patron states help those tiny entities with army as unrecognized states are very important for them from geopolitical point of view. ; У статті досліджено особливості функціонування сучасних невизнаних держав, виокремлено їх визначальні ознаки.

Modern dynamics of socio-economic development emphasized issues to improve efficiency of state innovation policy, its adequacy to contemporary priorities and problems in the country's development. An appropriate and relevant question is the systematization of knowledge obtained in the study of theoretical foundations of the state innovation policy, and effectiveness of its implementation depending on the methods of realization. The aim of present work is the development of theoretical and methodological fundamentals of state innovation policy. To solve the set tasks, we applied such general scientific and special research methods as: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematic approach. Author examined the types of state innovation policy, factors that influence its formation, components of development and implementation of the state innovation policy. It is highlighted that the implementation of the state innovation policy is coordinated with the strategy of innovative development; strategic directions of innovation development of the national economy are demonstrated. Special attention was paid by Author to stages in the formation of state innovation policy in industrialized countries with the methods characterized for the realization of state innovation policy. Based on the obtained results of scientific research, main directions were proposed of innovation policy for Ukraine under present conditions. A conclusion was drawn on that the state innovation policy is a set of interrelated and interdependent forms, mechanisms, instruments, technologies of influence of the state on the formation, development and realization of scientific-technical, technological and innovation potential of the country, based on the promising world trends in scientific and technological development. The implementation of the state innovation policy is coordinated with the strategy of innovation development whose main function is to define main long-term directions of scientific development, to implement innovations, to provide resources to achieve the set objectives. The state, when implementing innovation policy, above all in the R&D sector, applies two basic types of methods: administrative and program-targeted. In the course of development of program-targeted methods, there were formed several variants of their implementation: a system of subsidies, institutional programs and cooperative implementation programs. The scientific novelty of present research is in determining the methodology of the state innovation policy, which covers an integrated system of methods, ways, and means of its implementation, taking into consideration the priorities in modern development of leading industrial countries. A practical value of the research is in applying the features of theoretical and methodological foundations of the state innovation policy for the selection of such areas and methods of implementation of the innovation policy that are most acceptable for Ukraine under current economic conditions.

The return of the state to sociological discourse can be based on the study of the role of state measures in societies that overcome the consequences of violence. The purpose of the article – is to outline the problems and some ways of overcoming them facing the state in the post-conflict reconstruction of society and can be successfully addressed by state authorities with varying degrees of success.Given that the state in a post-conflict society, as a rule, has a low level of public confidence and limited resources to resolve the conflict, the practice of peacekeeping operations and other organizational arrangements for building peace is widespread.In addition to the organizational component, the assistance of the Western world is in promoting and sometimes imposing in the transitional societies the legal norms and political institutions of the "old world", which often complicated the peace process and did not take into account the local context of peace-building. In addition, the speed at which international donors wanted to obtain a result from international intervention could contradict the long-term process of psychosocial and economic recovery of victims of the conflict.Modern theories of "transitional justice" try to overcome the contradiction between the limited support of international actors on the one hand and the fragility of the state and the weakness of civil society on the other.The researchers are proposing a model where the state interacts with civil society on the path to peace in the long run and reconciliation.A decentralized transitional justice model emerged in Northern Ireland, where local conciliation initia- tives combined community efforts and government and non-governmental interventions. Particular emphasis on overcoming the effects of violence is on reparations. However, there is no unambiguous universal form of payment to victims of the conflict to meet all economic needs. Reparations can take different forms – from money to symbolic ones. In addition, the decision to pay reparations is implemented by the state on the basis of agreements at the level of institutes of transitional justice, first of all, the truth-establishing commissions.In order to overcome the consequences of violence and the post-conflict reconstruction of a society, the state must take into account the whole range of social problems – political, socio-psychological, and economic. The solution to political problems is through the provision of broad political rights and ensuring the inclusiveness of social groups in society. Socio-psychological problems are solved in particular through the transformation of the group identity of the oppositional conflicts of social groups in the context of the exchange of social experience. Economic issues of post-conflict reconstruction concern the development of an effective reparation system at the individual, group and national levels. ; Стаття стосується спектра державних заходів щодо подолання наслідків насилля в процесі постконфліктного відновлення.

The purpose of the article is to summarize the experience of individual European states in the field of public service activities by public authorities, and to determine the possibilities of its use in Ukraine. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists, generalizes foreign experience in the field of public-service bodies of state power and identifies the possibility of its use in Ukraine. The necessity of increasing the attention of the legislator to the professional training of civil servants is substantiated, in particular, it is noted that their psychological readiness for carrying out the corresponding activity should be enhanced. The importance of significantly improving the logistics of public administrations is emphasized. It has been determined that the formation of a single centralized public service delivery system in Poland is linked to the administrative-territorial reform that took place in the country in the 2000s, whereby the organization of public service provision was entrusted to territorial self-government bodies. Territorial self-government is an important part of public administration in the Republic of Poland. It is revealed that Poland has also introduced the idea of a single office for citizens – WOM, so it was planned in all parts of Warsaw to provide the city residents with good quality services and speed up administrative procedures. These departments are established as institutions where every resident of Warsaw has the opportunity to easily solve their business in the official field, in particular, the issue of exchange of ID-cards, registration of the vehicle, obtaining a license, etc. It is emphasized that the analysis of the Estonian experience allows us to speak about a number of useful results of the provision of administrative services in electronic form. These include, first of all, free access of consumers to services at any time from any place where there is access to the Internet. It is concluded that electronic document circulation, minimizing technical errors, creating conditions for greater transparency and reducing the corruption component in the provision of administrative services are particularly relevant for Ukraine. This, in turn, helps to create a positive image of public administration bodies and to establish their interaction with the general public. ; Мета статті – узагальнення досвіду окремих європейських держав у сфері здійснення публічно-сервісної діяльності органами державної влади, з'ясування можливості його використання в Україні. У статті, на основі аналізу наукових поглядів учених, узагальнено закордонний досвід у сфері здійснення публічно-сервісної діяльності органами державної влади, визначено можливості його використання в Україні. Обґрунтовано необхідність підвищення уваги законодавця до професійної підготовки державних службовців, зокрема зазначено, що варто посилити їхню психологічну готовність до здійснення відповідної діяльності. Наголошено на важливості суттєвого покращення матеріально-технічного забезпечення публічних адміністрацій. Визначено, що в Польщі формування єдиної централізованої системи надання публічних послуг населенню пов'язане з адміністративно-територіальною реформою, яка проводилася у країні у 2000-х роках, відповідно до якої організацію надання публічних послуг було покладено на органи територіального самоврядування. Територіальне самоврядування є важливою частиною публічної адміністрації в Республіці Польща. З'ясовано, що в Польщі також реалізовано ідею єдиного офісу для громадян – WOM, так було заплановано в усіх районах Варшави для забезпечення мешканцям міста належної якості послуг та прискорення адміністративних процедур. Зазначені відділи створено як установи, де кожен мешканець Варшави має можливість легко вирішити свої справи в офіційній сфері, зокрема питання обміну ID-карток, реєстрації транспортного засобу, отримання ліцензії тощо. Наголошено, що аналіз естонського досвіду дозволяє говорити про низку корисних результатів надання адміністративних послуг в електронному вигляді. Сюди передусім можна віднести вільний доступ споживачів до послуг у будь-який час із будь-якого місця, де є доступ до Інтернету. Зроблено висновок, що особливо актуальна для України безпека електронного документообігу, зведення до мінімуму технічних помилок, створення умов для більшої прозорості та зменшення корупціогенної складової частини під час надання адміністративних послуг. У свою чергу, це дозволяє створити позитивний імідж органів публічного управління та налагодити їх взаємодію із широкою громадськістю.

Introduction. Today, measles is one of the most common endemic infections, which in the modern world affects not only children but also adults. Fifty percent of the world's incidence of measles is in five countries: Madagascar, Somalia, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Ukraine. It should be noted that according to the WHO, Ukraine is one of the five countries with the highest incidence of measles, and since 2018 Ukraine ranks second in the world in the incidence of measles. The sharp increase in the incidence began in 2017, when 4,782 people fell ill with measles. In 2018, more than 54,000 Ukrainians contracted a measles infection, which is almost 64% of all cases registered in Europe. In 2019, the number of patients reached 57 thousand people. During 2017-2019, a total of more than 115 thousand people fell ill, of whom 41 died (including 25 children) [2].As for the Kharkiv region, in 2017-2019 there was also a surge in the incidence of measles infection. Given the goal of the WHO and UNESCO (2015) program to address the elimination of measles infection in the world [3], the effectiveness of which determines the timeliness of specific prevention and surveillance, it remains urgent to monitor measles infection to assess the degree of endemic circulation of measles in Kharkiv region.

ROLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW RELATIONS STATE AND CITIZENS IN THE SOVIET UNIONPiliai А.М., PhD studentNational University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine The article examines the theoretical side of Administrative Law of the Soviet Union in terms of his contemporaries in terms of the role of administrative law in the system of relations between the state and the citizen.Science Soviet administrative law developed as the establishment of public administration in the Soviet Union and the establishment of administrative law as a legal industry. Despite crucial that gave the Marxist-Leninist doctrine administration in a socialist society, science administrative law developed quite controversial.At the initial stage of the Soviet state administrative science institutes were still not very active and methodical attack on scientists which helped lay the foundations of administrative law administrative scientists former Empire and as a result of the creation of the first Soviet administrative code 1927. However, as soon as Thus, at the end of the 30s of the twentieth century, a situation in which administrative law as a whole and all other areas of law could move only in the direction of creating a system built on the principles of "class struggle" and actually create a system rigid centralization of power at all levels.With regard to legislative activity, it should be noted that the adoption of the Constitution of the USSR in 1936 led to a clearer separation of subject Administrative Law based on the formation of executive and administrative bodies as independent governance structures. War and postwar period led to further opportunities fetish controls in political and economic governance.Even in the postwar years in the Soviet legal literature formed different views on the scope of public administration. Yes, there are two main points of view. Some scientists identified it with the system of government and regarded as the executive and administrative activities only those bodies. Others have argued that executive and administrative activities make all public authorities, but to varying degrees and varying quality.Based on the above analysis of the categories of public relations should pay attention to how little space they occupied an ordinary citizen, despite the fact that it really is and keeps the whole state apparatus and the official goal of the Soviet Union as a state built to unite all citizens in uniform socialist family.As a result of the opposition of the people of the Soviet Union administrative bureaucracy at the time of independent Ukraine in our country did not exist, even the idea of cooperation on equal terms between the state and its citizens, which led to no significant changes in the structure of the relationship between man and the state for the first twenty years of independent Ukraine. We are still feeling the remnants of Soviet-style administration, in which the state exists primarily for themselves.

Material & methods. The material of our work was statistical data and reporting forms on epidemiological, virological and serological tests for measles infection in the Kharkiv region for 2017-2019, provided by the State Institution "Kharkiv OLC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" under the agreement on scientific and practical cooperation from 02.01. 2017. Results & discussion. In 2017, 11 cases of measles were registered (8 children and 3 adults), including 6 residents of Kharkiv, 3 in Barvinkivskyi, and 1 each in Kharkiv and Lozivskyi districts. Among the sick are 7 people of Roma nationality who do not have measles vaccinations. The diagnosis was confirmed in the laboratory in 9 patients. Starting from 2018 in Kharkiv region, as well as in Ukraine as a whole, there is an increase in the incidence of cow infection against the background of three years of epidemic well-being (in 2015, 1 measles patient was registered, in 2016 - 0 patients, in 2017 - 11 patients). At the same time, the level of collective immunity in the Kharkiv region in 2015 - 2016 - 2017 was 86.8% - 91.2% - 92.1%, respectively.In 2018, 627 cases of measles were registered, of which 289 were residents of Kharkiv, 175 - Kharkiv, 28 - Valkiv and Derhachiv, 27 - Vovchansk, 15 - Zmiiv, 11 - Loziv, 10 - Kupyansk, 9 - Sakhnovshchyna, 8 - Krasnogradsky, 6 - Izyumsky, 5 - Shevchenkivsky, 1 - Zolochiv, Kolomatsky, Pervomaisky and Pechenizky districts. Thus, during 2017-2019 there is an increase in the incidence of measles infection. Compared to 2017, in 2018 the share of children of the younger age group (1-4 years 3 times, children under 1 year from 0 to 11.6%) and the adult population significantly increased - 1.8 times in 2019 there is a further the incidence of measles increased 7.2 times and reached a total of 4,522 patients. The share of family morbidity in 2019 was 17.8%. 2964 people were hospitalized - 65.6% of patients in 2019, in 2018 - 547 people, which is 87.2% of patients, and the percentage of cases with severe cases in 2018 was 2.2%, and in 2019 - 1.1%. The diagnosis was confirmed in 2019: laboratory in 7.9% of cases, clinical - 75.1%, clinical and epidemiological - 17.0%; in 2018: laboratory in 52.8% of cases, clinical - 29.7%, clinical and epidemiological - 17.5%. The share of unvaccinated patients was 61.6% in 2018 and 70.6% in 2019. Analysis of the incidence of vaccinated shows that in 2018 35.3%, and in 2019 34.5% of patients have only one vaccination. The duration of the disease within 1-12 months from the last vaccination was observed in 57 people in 2018 and 251 people in 2019, which corresponds to 23.6% and 18.9% of all vaccinated. By social groups, the largest share was officially unemployed - 30.1% in 2019 and 22.6% in 2018, by ethnic groups, the largest number of patients is among the Roma (about 60%). Conclusion. According to the results of the study in the Kharkiv region there is an increase in the incidence of measles infection during 2017-2019, primarily due to unvaccinated persons and those who have only one vaccination. There is an increase in the proportion of adults among patients, as well as the number of severe diseases. The deterioration of the epidemic situation may also be associated with the migration of unvaccinated people in various hard-to-reach groups, which transmit the infection to the general population.

During 2017-2019, a total of more than 115 thousand people fell ill, of whom 41 died (including 25 children) [2].As for the Kharkiv region, in 2017-2019 there was also a surge in the incidence of measles infection. Given the goal of the WHO and UNESCO (2015) program to address the elimination of measles infection in the world [3], the effectiveness of which determines the timeliness of specific prevention and surveillance, it remains urgent to monitor measles infection to assess the degree of endemic circulation of measles in Kharkiv region. Material & methods. The material of our work was statistical data and reporting forms on epidemiological, virological and serological tests for measles infection in the Kharkiv region for 2017-2019, provided by the State Institution "Kharkiv OLC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" under the agreement on scientific and practical cooperation from 02.01. 2017. Results & discussion. In 2017, 11 cases of measles were registered (8 children and 3 adults), including 6 residents of Kharkiv, 3 in Barvinkivskyi, and 1 each in Kharkiv and Lozivskyi districts. Among the sick are 7 people of Roma nationality who do not have measles vaccinations. The diagnosis was confirmed in the laboratory in 9 patients. Starting from 2018 in Kharkiv region, as well as in Ukraine as a whole, there is an increase in the incidence of cow infection against the background of three years of epidemic well-being (in 2015, 1 measles patient was registered, in 2016 - 0 patients, in 2017 - 11 patients). At the same time, the level of collective immunity in the Kharkiv region in 2015 - 2016 - 2017 was 86.8% - 91.2% - 92.1%, respectively.In 2018, 627 cases of measles were registered, of which 289 were residents of Kharkiv, 175 - Kharkiv, 28 - Valkiv and Derhachiv, 27 - Vovchansk, 15 - Zmiiv, 11 - Loziv, 10 - Kupyansk, 9 - Sakhnovshchyna, 8 - Krasnogradsky, 6 - Izyumsky, 5 - Shevchenkivsky, 1 - Zolochiv, Kolomatsky, Pervomaisky and Pechenizky districts. Thus, during 2017-2019 there is an increase in the incidence of measles infection. Compared to 2017, in 2018 the share of children of the younger age group (1-4 years 3 times, children under 1 year from 0 to 11.6%) and the adult population significantly increased - 1.8 times in 2019 there is a further the incidence of measles increased 7.2 times and reached a total of 4,522 patients. The share of family morbidity in 2019 was 17.8%. 2964 people were hospitalized - 65.6% of patients in 2019, in 2018 - 547 people, which is 87.2% of patients, and the percentage of cases with severe cases in 2018 was 2.2%, and in 2019 - 1.1%. The diagnosis was confirmed in 2019: laboratory in 7.9% of cases, clinical - 75.1%, clinical and epidemiological - 17.0%; in 2018: laboratory in 52.8% of cases, clinical - 29.7%, clinical and epidemiological - 17.5%. The share of unvaccinated patients was 61.6% in 2018 and 70.6% in 2019. Analysis of the incidence of vaccinated shows that in 2018 35.3%, and in 2019 34.5% of patients have only one vaccination. The duration of the disease within 1-12 months from the last vaccination was observed in 57 people in 2018 and 251 people in 2019, which corresponds to 23.6% and 18.9% of all vaccinated. By social groups, the largest share was officially unemployed - 30.1% in 2019 and 22.6% in 2018, by ethnic groups, the largest number of patients is among the Roma (about 60%). Conclusion. According to the results of the study in the Kharkiv region there is an increase in the incidence of measles infection during 2017-2019, primarily due to unvaccinated persons and those who have only one vaccination. There is an increase in the proportion of adults among patients, as well as the number of severe diseases. The deterioration of the epidemic situation may also be associated with the migration of unvaccinated people in various hard-to-reach groups, which transmit the infection to the general population.
