The purpose of the article is to describe the ways how to optimize the cadets' training in border guard terminology, terms forming, validity of terminological word-combinations and their usage in the process of professional communication and translation. The current state of Ukrainian international relations in different spheres of human activity, striving for entering the European space, joining NATO, military challenges in the East of Ukraine, political and socio-economic realities need further transformation and development. It concerns the English language studies as a language of international communication. The topicality of the article is in urgent need to train Ukrainian border guards to speak English fluently performing their service duties at the international ports-of-entry, participating in inter-state cooperation, communicating with colleagues from the European Union, USA and other countries. Communicative strategy and implementation of communicative intentions can be actualized if a specialist knows professional terminology and operate special vocabulary fluently. In order to improve and enhance foreign language training of the cadets-future officers' special approach to the terminology study was implemented. Despite the numerous scientific researches, it should be noted that no attention has been paid to the term-system of the border protection activity, its lexicosemantic peculiarities, terminological collocations and means of their formation. That is why the main content of the article is focused on the association of English border protection terminology with other words, on their ability to compose collocations and make terminological phrases. The definition of the linguistic word "term" is presented in the article by interpreting of its semantic meaning made by scientists-terminologists. The study of syntagmatic properties of terms and their validity is paid a special attention in the article. Validity is realized as the capability of a word to create a meaningful word-combination when constructing an utterance. Teaching cadets to compose word-combinations consisting of term elements it is essential to highlight that words must form a structural semantic unit, the validity of which is justified.0n the basis of the linguistic literature analysed verbs are distinguished to make terminological word collocations. Word collocations are considered to be the most widespread phraseological units which usually comprise two components. They are subdivided into three semantic groups, which possess special integrative feature and sequence of the word-combination components. The components create entire meaning of word-combinations. One component determines the terminological meaning of the word-collocation and establishes syntactic relations among the words. Thus, teaching cadets to differentiate semantic peculiarities of the determining and determined components will facilitate usage of professional terms in the process of communication and translation. Special attention should be paid to the verbs and their synonyms while forming valid terminological word-combination. This research contributes to better understanding of modern tendencies in terminological word building system, synonyms diversity of professional terms and helps to optimize cadets' training. ; Сучасний стан міжнародних зв'язків України у різноманітних сферах діяльності людства, прагнення до виходу у європейський простір, вступу до НАТО, сучасні військові виклики на сході України, політичні, соціально-економічні та культурні реалії потребують подальших трансформацій та розвитку у сфері вивчення іноземних мов. Статус англійської мови, як мови міжнародного спілкування, має тенденцію до постійного зростання. У контексті нових стандартів іншомовної підготовки курсантів Національної академії Державної прикордонної служби України імені Богдана Хмельницького (далі – НАДПСУ) виникає нагальна потреба удосконалення формування професійної іншомовної комунікативної компетентності фахівця, який в ході виконання службових завдань, буде використовувати іноземні мови. Незважаючи на велику кількість наукових досліджень, присвячених методичним аспектам вивчення професійної термінології, необхідно констатувати факт, що термінології прикордонної служби, її лексико-семантичної особливості та методиці навчання термінологічним словосполученням увага майже не приділялась. Актуальність статті полягає у нагальній потребі володіння англійською мовою представниками Державної прикордонної служби України (далі – ДПСУ), які виконують службове завдання у міжнародних пунктах пропуску через державний кордон, приймають участь у міжнародному співробітництві з колегами країн ЄС, США та іншими країнами. Комунікативна стратегія та здійснення комунікативних намірів може бути актуалізована за умови знання термінології та вживання лексики фахового характеру. У статті приділяється увага проблемам утворення термінологічних словосполучень, способам їх утворення, семантичній валідності термінів та оптимізації навчання курсантів застосовувати їх під час комунікації та перекладу. Визначення лінгвістичного слова «термін» представлене трактуванням семантичного значення цього поняття українськими вченими-термінознавцями. В статті описані умови формування комунікативої та перекладацької компетенцій у курсантів, професійна діяльність яких, пов;язана із застосуванням спеціальної термінології. Основний зміст дослідження акцентовано на асоціації англомовних прикордонних термінів з іншими словами, здатності їх комбінування, елементах компонування термінів, класифікації термінологічних словосполучень.

Abstract
Monitoring of country maritime border is an important task of the Border Guard. This activity can be enhanced with the use of the technology enabling gathering information from distributed sources, processing of that information and its visualization. The paper presents the next stage of development of the STRADAR project (Streaming of real-time data transmission in distributed dispatching and teleinformation systems of the Border Guard), which is realized for the security and defence of the country. In the paper, storing, processing and visualization of the radar data, which is one of the tasks of the discussed scientific and research project, is described. Firstly, the general principle of radar data flow in the system was presented. Secondly, technical software description was described. Finally, radar data visualization functionality was presented.

The aim of the article is to identify and analyse guarded centres for foreigners in Poland when considered as total institutions and the psycho-social consequences of such totalization on the officers and employees of the Border Guard who work in these centres. The above-mentioned consequences stem from their daily work in a total institution, primarily within the legal and socio-cultural conditions of the functioning of these centres and, secondly, in terms of the relationships between the staff employed in them, as well as between the staff and foreigners. In addition, they are also an effect of the simultaneous impact of the world outsid

Émile Durkheim's sociological term 'anomie,' which indicates normlessness or a state of norm resolution, is the theme of this ethnographic study. The purpose is to analyze how intelligence and operational personnel in the various border authorities in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania describe the category "Russian criminals" and which discursive patterns cooperate with the construction of the category "norm-dissolving Russian." Multiple forms of empirical material were analyzed in this study: observations and photographs taken during the field work (718 field hours), interviews (73), documents produced by intelligence and operative personnel, and media coverage concerning intelligence and operative actions. This ethnography explains how police and border guards in the Baltic Sea area reinforce in-group bonds, develop a professional identity, and come to understand the moral aims of their work: by contrasting themselves against the constructed threat of Russian criminals, spies, and military invaders. Intelligence and operational police and border guard work is a practice in which the work from the first moment is characterized by an abstract threat, justified by considering that the stability of society can be transformed into instability if crime is not fought. Police officers and border guards in this study are constructed as key figures in the struggle to prevent the resolution and preserve the current state of society, which is portrayed as stable and better – at least if we speak with intelligence and operative police officers and border guards. From time to time, a "criminal" from Russia has a key role in the performance of law enforcement's fluctuating morality, with the threat of norm resolution coming from Russia and attenuation of the threat based on the representation of effective law enforcement. The media reporting on intelligence and operations, as well as the documentation that was created by the authorities involved in the fight against crime in the Baltic Sea area, call out the "criminals" from Russia by their absence. The media report on syndicates from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania who commit crimes in Sweden and Finland. In documents created by the intelligence and operational personnel, it is reported that more than 700 individuals had been suspected or convicted of a crime in any of the European countries. Most are citizens of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The picture presented in the interviews is different. Actors in this study produce Russians as the leading criminals in the Baltic region. Russian criminals are represented as organizers and leading figures in various types of crime. An informant's story is constructing a symbolic reality where law-abiding and conventional actors strive to maintain stability in the normative order, in this case referring to the crime that comes from Russia. This reality is partly an expression of fear and solidarity against norm resolution in the form of crime from Russia, and expressions of social development that raise the need for a contra-group to strengthen feelings of solidarity in the norm-stable societies.The identity-based symbolism that informants are constructing in their stories is based on the current and stable normative state of society. ; Citation for published version : Basic, G.

What practices of (in)securitization involve the notions of border and border control in the European Union? How do these practices operate? How are they assembled? In the resulting assemblage, is the notion of borders – understood as state borders – still relevant for the control of individuals and populations moving across the frontiers of the EU? Drawing on empirical observations and with a specific focus on how border control is translated into different social universes, this article seeks to show that practices of control are routinely embedded in a practical sense that informs what controlling borders does and means. This practical sense is itself informed by different professional habitus and work routines involving deterrence and the use of force, interrogation and detention, surveillance of populations on the move and the profiling of (un)trusted travellers. Its strength varies in relation to its shared dimension by most of the operators, and is adjusted to the materiality of borders as well as to the local contexts in which it is deployed. It activates, or does not activate, the maximal use of various control technologies (satellites, pre-registration and interoperable exchange of data between the state and private bureaucracies, biometrics identifiers, body-scanners). For understanding practices of (in)securitization, actual work routines and the specific professional 'dispositions' are therefore more important than any discourses actors may use to justify their activities.

Modern human being lives in a constantly changing global world where one strives to save fundamental priorities of own value system. With regard to rapidly changing geopolitical conditions in the world and migrant crises in the European Union a question of tolerance becomes more and more relevant in a society. The aim of the paper is – by highlighting tolerance position in human value system and its importance in today's world to assess future State Border Guard Service officers' level of tolerance and to make suggestions for its deeper education. Research results indicate certain tendencies. Firstly, subjective self - evaluation of respondents tolerance significantly differs from the objective tolerance level which was revealed in the research. The data obtained point out typical respondents' overvaluating of their own tolerance level. Secondly, respondents showed a big influence of mass media and social networks. Contemporary migrant crises and its descriptions in different mass media are acknowledged by respondents as factors diminishing, not increasing tolerance. Thirdly, research results make us claim that present tolerance level of our respondents, including future SBGS officers, is poor and should be encouraged.Suggestions: general University politics, lectures attitude of mind and their behaviour play important role in tolerance growth; more attention should be paid to gaining multicultural competencies, fostering authentic thinking and developing empathy to other people.
