SN 2015bo is underluminous (MB=−17.50 ± 0.15 mag) and has a fast-evolving light curve (Δm15(B)=1.91 ± 0.01 mag and sBV=0.48 ± 0.01). It has a unique morphology in the observed V −r color curve, where it is bluer than all other supernovae (SNe) in the comparison sample. A 56Ni mass of 0.17±0.03Me was derived from the peak bolometric luminosity, which is consistent with its location on the luminosity–width relation. Spectroscopically, SN 2015bo is a cool SN in the Branch classification scheme. The velocity evolution measured from spectral features is consistent with 1991bg-like SNe. SN 2015bo has a SN twin (similar spectra) and sibling (same host galaxy), SN 1997cn. Distance moduli of μ=34.33±0.01 (stat)± 0.11 (sys) mag and μ=34.34±0.04 (stat)±0.12 (sys) mag are derived for SN 2015bo and SN 1997cn, respectively. These distances are consistent at the 0.06σ level with each other, and they are also consistent with distances derived using surface-brightness fluctuations and redshift-corrected cosmology. This suggests that fast-declining SNe could be accurate distance indicators, which should not be excluded from future cosmological analyses. ; Research Experience for Undergraduates program at the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii-Manoa ; National Science Foundation (NSF) AST-1008384 AST-1613426 AST-1613455 AST-1613472 ; Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MCIN) RYC2019-027683 ; Spanish MCIN project HOSTFLOWS PID2020-115253GA-I00 ; European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skodowska-Curie 839090 106.2104 ; National Science Foundation (NSF) AST-1613426 AST-1613455 AST-1613472 AST-1008343 ; Danish Agency for Science and Technology and Innovation through a Sapere Aude Level 2 grant ; National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) 80NSSC20K0538 ; UK Research and Innovation Fellowship MR/T020784/1 ; Villum Fonden 28021 ; Independent Research Fund Denmark 8021-00170B

The issue of forming the leadership qualities of servicemen during hostilities in Eastern Ukraine is an extremely important, defining task. The need for highly qualified officers who are able to successfully perform combat missions and skillfully manage their unit, has led to the fact that leadership in the military plays a special role. The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the groups of leadership qualities of servicemen that are necessary for the success and effective implementation of the tasks set in the 21st century. To achieve this goal, theoretical research methods such as analysis of scientific sources, synthesis, comparison and generalization were used. The analysis of scientific works of foreign and domestic authors devoted to the problem of leadership and conditions of formation of leadership qualities of servicemen is carried out in the work. The meaning of the concept of "leadership" proposed by some scholars of its definition, as well as the term "military leader" in accordance with the Doctrine of the development of military leadership in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Different approaches of domestic scientists to the identification of leadership qualities in future servicemen are analyzed. The scientific novelty of the study is that on the basis of scientific and theoretical analysis identified and characterized the main groups of moral and psychological qualities needed by a military leader in the 21st century, namely: moral, patriotic, organizational, military special. These groups of qualities of servicemen are the key to success on the way to obtaining quality results and fulfilling the set tasks in the period of dynamic, unstable and difficult conditions of today. Prospects for further scientific research are seen in a more detailed justification of certain groups of moral and psychological qualities of future servicemen, study of the basic prerequisites and factors of their formation, as well as developing an algorithm for developing leadership qualities of cadets. ; Питання формування лідерських якостей військовослужбовців у час військових дій на Сході України є надзвичайно важливим, визначальним завданням.

Testicular tissues carry out the complex process of spermatogenesis, and studies indicate that testicular damages due to irradiation require long-term recovery before complete resumption. Ionizing radiation also causes oxidative stress in tissues, leading to testicular damage. Aims and Objectives: This study measured differential expression of antioxidant enzymes following administration of C. borivilianum root extract (CRB) in response to irradiation-induced oxidative stress. The activity of various important endogenous enzymatic defense systems was evaluated and correlated for strength of association. Materials and method: Two forms of C. borivilianum (CB) extracts [CB alone and CB-silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)] were administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight to Swiss albino male mice for 7 consecutive days. After that, they were irradiated with 6 Gy irradiation and further used to study various parameters of antioxidant enzymes. Results: Results indicate a significant increase in the level of glutathione (GSH) and the activity of GSH-related antioxidant enzymes in irradiated mice treated with CRE and CRE-AgNPs (silver nanoparticles biosynthesized using C. borivilianum root extract) in comparison to non-pretreated ones (groups I and II). Reciprocal elevation was observed in related enzymes, that is, glutathione S-transferase activity (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione peroxidase activity (GPx). Elevation in the activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was also evident in both the irradiated groups pretreated with CRE-AgNPs. However, expression of CAT in the CRE-treated irradiated group was similar to that of the non-treated irradiated group. Higher association among CAT-SOD, CAT-GPx, and GR-GST was observed. Conclusion: Overall, it was observed that testicular cells post-irradiation in all groups go through intense oxidative stress; however, groups pretreated with CRE or CRE-AgNPs indicated better toleration and resumption of antioxidant capacity. CRE or CRE-AgNPs pretreated non-irradiated groups mostly remained within the control range indicating stimulated expression of antioxidants. ; Peer reviewed

The purpose of the article is to establish the specifics of state financing of innovations to support import-substituted fruit and vegetable products. Using the developed research algorithm, the author analyzes and identifies some negative reasons that form the conditions for the import of fruit and vegetable products, including those that are manufactured and can be produced by domestic producers. It has been determined that one of the important reasons of the specified production import is insufficient budget financing of the agrarian and processing segments of the economy. The volume of budget financing of the agro-food segment of the economy in some European foreign countries, in particular, Italy, Turkey, France, Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine was compared. It was revealed that domestic producers receive funds much less than foreign countries. Thus, in comparison to Poland, this support is only 10 percent. The main indicators of the functioning of the agri-food segment of the domestic economy have been evaluated and low wages have been identified, which is a significant problem and the reason for labour migration to other countries. The instability of the functioning of this segment has also been proved, which has manifested itself in a decrease in the GDP of agriculture, forestry and fisheries as a percentage by 2019, etc. The state of state financial support for agrarians and industrial producers over the past few years has been analysed and it has been revealed that this aid is provided chaotically, mainly based on the wishes of certain groups of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Moreover, it has been revealed that this support mechanism is formed without taking into account the real needs of producers, and large amounts of aid are provided in the form of loans. Funds for basic research, design work, and the construction of modern, innovative processing plants are also almost absent. It is drawn a conclusion that for improvement of such condition it is necessary to improve directions of the state support of the specified innovations ; Метою статті є з'ясування специфіки державного фінансування інновацій щодо підтримки імпортозаміщеної плодоовочевої продукції. Використовуючи розроблений алгоритм дослідження, виконано аналіз та виявлено окремі причини, зокрема низку негативних чинників щодо імпорту плодоовочевої продукції, в тому числі тих, які виготовлялися і можуть виготовлятись вітчизняними виробниками. Визначено, що однією із вагомих причин імпорту зазначеної продукції є недостатнє бюджетне фінансування аграрного і переробного сегментів економіки. Порівнюючи обсяги бюджетного фінансування агропродовольчого сегменту економіки в окремих зарубіжних країнах та України, виявлено, що вітчизняні виробники отримують коштів набагато менше. Оцінено основні показники зазначеного сегменту та визначено низький рівень оплати праці, що є суттєвою проблемою та причиною трудової міграції в інші країни; нестабільність функціонування цього сегменту, що виявилось у зменшенні ВВП сільського, лісового та рибного господарства у відсотках до 2019 р. тощо. Проаналізовано стан державної підтримки аграріїв та промислових виробників та виявлено, що ця допомога надається хаотично, здебільшого з врахуванням побажань окремих груп депутатів Верховної Ради України; механізми підтримки сформовано без врахування реальних потреб виробників; значні обсяги допомоги надаються у формі кредитів, майже відсутні кошти на виконання фундаментальних наукових досліджень, конструкторських робіт, будівництва сучасних інноваційних переробних підприємств. Для поліпшення такого стану запропоновано напрями державної підтримки зазначених інновацій.

Book of abastracts of the 15th International virtual conference on energy storage (Enerstock 2021), 9-11 June 2021, Ljubljana, Slovenia, pp. 267. ISBN 978-961-6104-49-4 ; INTRODUCTION: The main objective of the present study is to compare the 30-year life cycle assessment of two concentrating solar power systems with tower configuration, one without thermal energy storage and the other with thermal energy storage, in order to assess their potential impact on the environment. To achieve this aim, common reference characteristics have been defined in order to allow the optimal comparison. The reference power considered for both technologies has been 110 MW and the "power cycle" (turbine, alternator and generator) and the "cooling system" are the same in both configuration. In general terms, the significant differences between both configurations are focused on the area of the solar field, and with it the number of heliostats, and on the storage of thermal energy by inorganic salts. Although it is true that concentrating solar power plant (CSP) in tower without thermal energy storage is not a current commercial configuration, it is very interesting to be able to compare the environmental impacts of both configurations when thermal energy storage is added to the solar plant. In addition, the study ends by assessing whether the environmental impact that is generated by adding thermal energy storage compensates with the improvement of its manageability, its dispatchability and its contribution to decarbonisation. METHOD: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology that allows evaluating the environmental loads associated with a product, process or activity, identifying and quantifying the energy, the materials consumed and the waste released into the environment throughout the entire life cycle. The LCA included in this study is carried according to ISO 14040 and 14044. Thus, this LCA is based on the impact assessment method ReCiPe in impact points and GWP in kgCO2eq and the database used is Ecoivent 3.6, which has positioned itself as a world leader in creating more transparent life cycle impact databases. Moreover, this work encompasses three distinct phases of evaluation: manufacturing, operational, and end of life. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: At the time of submitting this abstract, the study is on its way. ; This work was supported under the umbrella of CSP-ERA-Net 1st Cofund Joint Call by AEI - Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, TÜBITAK - Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, and CSO - Israeli Ministry of Energy.

La pandemia ha sido un acontecimiento que ha causado grandes cambios a nivel social y ambiental. Las medidas de aislamiento tomadas por el gobierno colombiano y especialmente en la ciudad de Bogotá ocasionaron una disminución en la concentración de contaminantes atmosféricos. El objetivo del proyecto es identificar los factores que han ocasionado una mejoría en la calidad del aire, determinar si el comportamiento de disminución de contaminantes se produjo en todas las Estaciones de Monitoreo de Calidad del Aire de Bogotá y si la disminución de contaminantes atmosféricos se presenta para todos los contaminantes más relevantes. Del mismo modo, reconocer si el arbolado urbano puede ser una estrategia para la disminución de contaminantes. Para llevar a cabo el objetivo es necesario recopilar los datos de la RMCAB, con el fin de realizar una comparación de las concentraciones de los principales contaminantes atmosféricos, que son: ?NO?_x, CO, ?PM?_10 , O_(3 )y ?PM?_2,5, en un periodo de pre-pandemia (2019) y pandemia (2020). Adicionalmente, para el caso del arbolado urbano se requiere hacer un inventario de arbolado óptimo para la remoción de contaminantes atmosféricos. Posteriormente analizar su relación con la concentración de los contaminantes seleccionados. Los resultados principales que se obtuvieron fueron: una disminución de los contaminantes evaluados principalmente en el momento de cuarentena sectorizada, donde la congestión vehicular decreció y para el caso del arbolado urbano, incluyendo variables meteorológicas como: la temperatura y precipitación, se obtuvo una correlación aceptable para ?NO?_x, una correlación mínima para ?PM?_10 , O_(3 )y ?PM?_2,5 y para el caso del CO no se presentó una correlación con las variables. ; The pandemic has been an event that has produced great changes at a social and environmental level. The isolation measures taken by the Colombian government and especially in the city of Bogotá caused a decrease in the concentration of atmospheric pollutants. The objective of the project is to identify the factors that have caused an improvement in air quality, determine if the pollutant reduction behavior occurred in all Air Quality Monitoring Stations and if for all the most relevant atmospheric pollutants, According to the impact it causes on human health, there was a decrease in its concentration. In the same way, recognize if urban trees can be a strategy for reducing pollutants. To carry out the objective, it is necessary to collect data from the RMCAB, in order to make a comparison of the concentrations of the main atmospheric pollutants, which are: ?NO?_x, CO, ?PM?_10 , O_(3 )y ?PM?_2,5, in a period of pre-pandemic (2019) and pandemic (2020). In addition, in the case of urban trees, an inventory of optimal trees is required to eliminate atmospheric pollutants, and then analyze their relationship with the concentration of the selected pollutants. The main results that were obtained were a decrease in the pollutants evaluated mainly at the time of the sectorized quarantine, where traffic congestion decreased. For the case of urban trees, including meteorological variables such as: temperature and precipitation, an acceptable correlation was obtained for ?NO?_x, a minimum correlation for, ?PM?_10 , O_(3 )y ?PM?_2,5 and for In the case of CO, there was no correlation with the variables. ; Ingeniero Ambiental ; Pregrado

[ES] La educación es una pieza clave para una inserción sociolaboral "exitosa", más aún para colectivos vulnerables como el formado por jóvenes que egresan del sistema de protección social a la infancia y la adolescencia a los 18 años de edad. El objetivo de este artículo es profundizar en el conocimiento del ámbito educativo de este colectivo en distintas Comunidades Autónomas del Estado Español, así como observar si existen diferencias en relación a distintas variables como el sexo, la edad, la procedencia, el tiempo de estancia bajo la medida de protección o la vivienda y el ámbito formativo de este colectivo. Para ello, se han administrado dos cuestionarios a jóvenes -EVAP4-J1 Y EVAP4-J2 (TABA), uno dirigido a jóvenes egresados que viven en pisos de inserción (N=100) y otros que no están en estos piso eISSN: 1989-9742 © SIPS.

This is especially true for young people who spend their childhood and adolescent years in care before leaving the system at the age of 18. The purpose of this article is to closely exam-ine this group's educational situation within Spain's various Autonomous Communities. It will also determine if there are differences linked to such variables as sex, age, nationality, time spent in care, and the residential and academic settings of members of this group. With these aims in mind, we asked each participant to complete one of two questionnaires: EVAP4-J1 or EVAP4-J2 (TABA). The first is for young people who have left care and are in transitional housing (N=100); the second is for those not living in transitional housing (N=284). We then performed descriptive analyses and comparison of means. Results reveal statistically signifi-cant differences in education with regard to sex; men account for a larger percentage of the young people who study after leaving care, whereas women pursue their education for longer periods of time. Additional and statistically significant differences were detected for national-ity, age, and time spent in care; younger participants, those not born in Spain, and those living in transitional housing were more likely to continue studying. Our results highlight both the educational difficulties faced by this group and the challenges faced by government agencies.

Hryhorieva Kh. Legal provision of solar energy in Ukraine: between protection, competition and indifference The modern world is permeated with the ideas of greening, decarbonization, stopping climate change and more. All these ideas intersect in the development of solar energy, which is friendly to nature and helps reduce anthropogenic pollution. Longer foreign experience in the development of solar energy allows us to draw from it an understanding of the processes, patterns and prospects that are important for Ukraine. This issue is especially relevant due to the fact that currently in Ukraine there is a crisis of the legal model of support for alternative energy in general and solar in particular. It is manifested primarily in the fact that the old protection model, built on a high "green" tariff, is considered burdensome, and the new protection model – based on "green" auctions – has not yet been implemented. As a result of the study, three main trends in the development of solar energy in the world were identified: abrupt interest in solar energy; application of democratic and authoritarian methods of solar energy development; direct dependence of the development of solar energy on the protection of the state. An in-depth understanding of these trends is of great legal importance, as it should be the basis for the urgent improvement of domestic legal regulation in this area. Based on the analyzed world experience, the expediency of changing the vector of basic state support from commercialoriented and stagnant to non-commercialoriented, the essence of which is to actively stimulate the expansion of solar energy in households and enterprises. When deciding on the location of a particular solar power facility, three important criteria should be assessed in their entirety: a) the need for additional local energy supply; b) economic and environmental feasibility (combination of physical and economic indicators); c) expediency of the solar energy project in comparison with alternative land use options. ; Сучасний світ пронизаний ідеями екологізації, декарбонізації, зупиненням кліматичних змін тощо. Усі ці ідеї перетинаються в питанні розвитку сонячної енергетики, яка є дружньою до природи й сприяє зменшенню антропогенного забруднення довкілля. Триваліший іноземний досвід розвитку сонячної енергетики дозволяє черпати з нього розуміння процесів,закономірностей і перспектив, які мають значення для України. Особливо актуалізується питання у зв'язку з тим, що наразі в Україні можна зафіксувати кризу правової моделі підтримки альтернативної енергетики в цілому, і сонячної зокрема. Вона проявляється передусім у тому, що стара протекційна модель, побудована на високому «зеленому» тарифі, визнана обтяжливою, а нова протекційна модель, заснована на «зелених» аукціонах, досі не запроваджена. У результаті проведеного дослідження виявлено три основні тенденції розвитку сонячної енергетики у світі: стрибкоподібний інтерес до сонячної енергетики; застосування демократичних та авторитарних способів розвитку сонячної енергетики; пряма залежність розвитку геліоенергетики від протекції держави. Глибинне розуміння таких тенденцій має важливе юридичне значення, оскільки саме воно має лягти в основу термінового вдосконалення вітчизняного правового регулювання у сфері. На підставі проаналізованого світового досвіду аргументовано доцільність зміни вектору основної державної підтримки з комерційно орієнтованої та стагнаційної на некомерційно орієнтовану, суть якої полягає в активному стимулюванні розширення використання сонячної енергетики в господарствах населення та на підприємствах. Під час прийняття рішення про розміщення певного геліоенергетичного об'єкта мають бути оцінені три важливі критерії в їхній сукупності: а) потреба в додатковому місцевому енергопостачанні; б) економіко-екологічна доцільність (поєднання фізичних та економічних показників); в) доцільність геліоенергетичного проєкту порівняно з альтернативними варіантами використання території.

Introduction.The present study examines the pragmastilistic potential of migration discourse based on the speeches of modern British politicians. The relevance of the chosen topic lies in the acute social specifics of migration discourse and its manipulative component. In today's world, migration processes have become global and their impact on the development of the host culture is becoming increasingly evident. There is still no established strategy for the integration of migrants into the new society, which creates a conflict environment and determines the hostility of the indigenous population towards migrants. Migration discourse as one of the directions of policy discourse becomes an effective tool for managing public opinion. Various persuasive tactics are incorporated in the speech of politicians using linguistic means, the use of which in the British migration discourse is considered in this article.Methodology and sources. The key tasks of the study are to identify specific discursive tactics, by means of which the persuasive strategy is implemented in the British migration discourse, and to analyze the stylistic techniques used to design the discovered tactics. During the study, pragmastilistic analysis was used, the application of which involves referring to the following methods of linguistic research: the method of continuous sampling, quantitative, descriptive and comparative methods, the method of stylistic analysis, discursive analysis. The material of the study was the speeches of modern British politicians from 2004 to 2021. Results and discussion.The analysis of migration discourse based on the texts of speeches by modern British politicians allows to talk about the stylistic saturation of the material and the main means of expressiveness used in the framework of the discourse under consideration. The main tactic of opponents of free migration is the comparison of "good/bad" migrants, which is actualized using antithesis. As for the lexical stylistic means, the use of the epithet should be specified, which is also a way of actualizing opposition tactics. Thus, this tactic is implemented both at the lexical and syntactic level. Similar tactics are also relevant in the framework of pro-migration rhetoric, namely, when comparing the local elite and the visiting population, which performs all the work necessary for the functioning of society. In most cases the main stylistic technique for tactics actualization is antithesis (or the convergence of antithesis and epithet). Proponents of pro-migration policies also use metaphor (tactics for describing the political process) and syntactic parallelism (tactics for describing the benefits of migration). Finally, the most common tactic inherent in both poles of migration discourse is the tactic of generalization. It consists in equating the speaker with his audience, their "fusion", and is most often actualized using hyperbola.Conclusion.Migration discourse is characterized by an ideological orientation, which is actualized using certain speech techniques, tactics and strategies. Migration discourse, as a multifaceted entity, can also serve to harmonize social life by facilitating the integration of migrants into the host culture. Migration discourse is a powerful ideological weapon that can be used both to contribute to integration and to incite ethnic hatred. Stylistic tools play a key role in the implementation of a persuasive strategy, which is actively used both in migration and in political discourse in general. The main tactics of the migration discourse of modern British politicians are opposition and generalization, used both in pro- and anti-migration rhetoric.

The Swiss Election Study (Selects) 2019 consists of four complementary components: The Post-Election Survey (PES), the Panel Survey, the Candidate Survey, and the (Social) Media Analysis. The main difference compared to previous studies relates to the mode of data collection; the main emphasis was moved towards web questionnaires. The mode for the Post-Election Survey 2019 was web/paper whereas in 2015, it was web/telephone. As in previous election studies, novel thematic modules of particular salience to researchers were included in the different surveys, while keeping the necessary continuity in the core questionnaire of the Post-Election Survey for comparison with previous waves.

Post-Election Survey (PES):
The Post-Election Survey consists of 6664 respondents. The survey was conducted in a sequential mixed mode with web offered as the first option: 82% responded in this way, while 18% responded by returning the paper questionnaire that was sent out later to those not having completed the web questionnaire. The sampling was based on a representative sample of around 2'600 Swiss citizens with an oversampling of small cantons to have at least 50 respondents in every canton. An additional oversampling was done in the cantons of Zurich, Geneva, and Ticino thanks to additional funding from these cantons.

Panel Survey:
The Panel Survey studies the evolution of opinion and vote intention/choice during the different phases of the election cycle. In 2019, three waves were conducted: the first before the main campaign period (Mai/June), the second during the election campaign (September/October), and the third after the elections (October-December). 7939 individuals responded to the first wave, 5577 to the second wave, and 5125 to the third wave. 4654 individuals responded to all three waves. This three-wave panel will be continued with annual follow-up waves until the 2023 elections. At the end of wave 3, 3'030 respondents gave consent to be contacted for the yearly waves. Wave 4 took place between September 28 - November 2nd, 2020 with 2'499 respondents.

Candidate Survey:
The Candidate Survey was carried out among all candidates for the National Council and the Council of States in the framework of the international Comparative Candidate Survey (CCS) project, based on the Round III questionnaire. The survey collects data on the biography, campaign activities, and policy position of the candidates. Among others, the information gathered makes possible the study of underlying factors of candidates' electoral success, as well as of issues of representation and linkage between voters and elites. In 2019, 2158 out of 4736 candidates participated in the Candidate Survey. This survey was conducted by Politools.net on behalf of Selects.

(Social) Media Analysis:
On behalf of Selects, the Digital Democracy Lab of the University of Zurich conducted a Media Analysis. The Media Analysis is a supplement to the Panel Survey and makes it possible to analyse the election campaign in the media and its influence on the formation of voters' opinions. In addition to the content analysis of the coverage of traditional media (print and online), which has been carried out in the context of Selects since 2003, the Media Analysis 2019 also includes, for the first time, the election campaign communication of parties and candidates on social media. For this Social Media Analysis, the Twitter accounts of 1284 candidates, parties and organizations were taken into account, as well as the Facebook pages of 261 candidates.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the current state of acid soils in Ukraine and to offer organizational and economic measures and modern effective technological solutions for their chemical reclamation. Research methods. The research was based on general scientific and economic research methods, scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on issues related to expanded reproduction of soil fertility and their chemical reclamation. Analytical and statistical tools and empirical approach allowed to determine the benefits of acid soils liming and calculate the economic effect of organizational and economic measures and technological solutions. The abstract-logical approach allowed to develop recommendations on reclamation ways for acid soils with the usage of modern technologies and organisational measures, as well as to formulate appropriate proposals and conclusions. Research results. It has been proved that one of the important directions for increasing the fertility of acid soils is liming. Economic evaluation of the efficiency of soil liming shows that the costs of its implementation are recouped by yield increases and contribute to improving the quality of agricultural products. Despite the high environmental efficiency of liming, the volume and quality of these works in recent years do not meet actual needs of agriculture. Thus, in 2019, the area of limed soils decreased by 10.5 times in comparison to 1990. In turn, the reduction of chemical land reclamation leads to negative environmental and economic consequences. Thus, the annual shortage of crop products due to excessive soil acidity in terms of grain is more than 2 million tons, which is estimated at UAH 10-12 billion. At the same time, the results of agrochemical surveys of soils show that there is a tendency for increase of acid soils areas. Scientific novelty. The use of granular limestone has been proposed as one of the modern and highly effective measures for reclamation of acid soils, which ensures their rapid deoxidation and helps to increase crop yields by up to 30%, ensuring the payback of measures for reclamation of acid soils in the first year. It has been also established that the usage of granular forms of ameliorants eliminates technological difficulties during the use of limestone materials and reduces the cost of their application, which greatly simplifies the technology of their application both separately and in combination with other fertilizers using standard spreaders. In addition, it is possible to transport lime fertilizers over long distances, which makes them more accessible to Ukrainian farmers countrywide. Practical significance. The following directions to increase efficiency of works on chemical reclamation of acid soils were offered: provision of scientifically substantiated cycle of chemical reclamation of soils and achievement of positive balance of calcium in soils by carrying out annual liming on the area of 1,400 thousand hectares; financing of works on chemical reclamation of soils at the expense of means of the state and local budgets which sharp reduction led to actual suspension of these works; extensive use of local carbonate deposits and stimulating development of the domestic industry for the production of granular limestone fertilizers, the profitability of which is 2-2.5 times higher than traditional limestone materials.

In light of increasing numbers of refugees worldwide, often resulting in protracted refugee situations that affect refugees as well as the development of the countries hosting them the thesis analyzes what contribution the concept of resilience can make in dealing with these situations, focusing on novel aspects of resilience-thinking as well as on the concept's strengths and weaknesses if applied in situations of forced displacement. The thesis is based on an analysis of both primary and secondary sources in the fields of forced displacement, development and resilience, complemented with information gained through fieldwork and qualitative semi-structured expert interviews. Using the 'Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan in Response to the Syria Crisis' (3RP) as a case study, it first compares the 3RP's resilience-based response framework with several approaches to situations of forced displacement in the past that were applied in similar contexts and with similar objectives. In a structured qualitative comparison, it assesses similarities and differences with the aim of deducing novel aspects of a resilience-based approach. In a second step, the 3RP's implementation in Jordan and Lebanon serves as a case study to (1) analyze how a resilience-based response has been understood and implemented in two different national contexts, and to (2) illustrate strengths and weaknesses of a resilience-based response. In a final step, the thesis draws conclusions about the use, applicability and added value of resilience-thinking in situations of forced displacement in general. The thesis finds that, while the 3RP framework incorporates some novel aspects on a contextual, conceptual and strategic level, it overall does not display large differences in fundamental aspects to previous approaches. Rather, it relies on the same core principles including the linkage of humanitarian and development-oriented assistance and a focus on national ownership, self-sufficiency, the alignment with national development plans and partnerships between different actors. Deriving from the experiences made in the concrete applications of the 3RP in Jordan and Lebanon, the thesis further finds that, despite its various conceptual strengths, several aspects inherent in resilience-thinking prove controversial if applied to situations of forced displacement. These include the lack of a clear definition, the concept's claims to transformational change that are difficult to meet as well as concerns regarding the aftermath of resilience. Another ambiguity of resilience-thinking in situations of forced displacement refers to the possibility of two key aspects of the concept running contrary to each other in case of a refugee-adverse government, that is, increased national capacities and ownership versus increased capacities and self-sufficiency of refugees, as well as key aspects of resilience-programming counteracting key principles of a refugee response, including increased national capacities and ownership of a refugee-adverse government versus the protection of refugees, or the aspect of self-sufficiency of refugees versus protection issues. The thesis therefore concludes that resilience-thinking in the context of forced displacement is neither new nor can it be regarded as a panacea. Nevertheless, it holds some valuable characteristics that, if both the prevailing context and lessons from the past are taken into consideration, all actors share the same understanding of what is to be achieved, and the response is adapted accordingly, can provide new impulses for future refugee responses.
