The Agzibir Lake is optimal in terms of hydrochemical and hydrobiological factors for formation of higher biodiversity of free-living ciliates. This is facilitated with continuous entering biogenic elements as a result of metabolism of large bird colonies and decaying organic residues of plant and animal origin. The Agzybir Lake having a link with the Caspian Sea in spring and fall is a place of spawning and the subsequent development of larvae of many commercially valuable fishes of the Caspian Sea, for which ciliates are a valuable starting food source in early stages of ontogenesis. During 2014–2019, totally 169 species of free-living ciliates were found by us, and 34 of them were observed for the first time for the Caspian fauna. The minimum species diversity was observed in plankton, where 46 species were recorded. In benthos of the sandy biotope, 58 species were found, whereas in the silty sand one, 80 species. At the silt soil in the biotope of gray silt, we found 72 species, the maximum species diversity (84 species) was observed in the silt biotope with plant residues, while at the black silt with sapropel communities 66 species of free-living ciliates were found. In the periphyton biotope, we observed 71 species, while in coastal thickets of algae (phytociliocenosis) 79 species of free-living ciliates were found. As with the sandy biotope, the black silt biotope, sometimes with small communities of sapropel silt, is much smaller in area than the rest of benthic biotopes of the Agzibir Lake. Yet, free-living ciliate communities of black silt are specific and include several species that are tolerant to low oxygen and hydrogen sulfide in water. The seasonal variations of total quantity of free-living ciliates of benthic biotopes have three maxima (in spring, summer and autumn). As for the rest of biotopes of plankton, periphyton and phytociliocenosis, only two maxima (in spring and autumn) were revealed. The greatest similarity of species diversity was observed within benthic communities. But lowest similarity was observed between sapropel silt and the rest. As was already mentioned, this is due to specific ecological conditions of sapropel silt biotope.

Corruption is a negative social phenomenon that is an integral part of any community life. Given the low level of welfare of the population and the weaknesses of democratic principles and procedures, corruption becomes, a survival tool for some part of society, for another, smaller one – a tool for making a profit. However, as practice shows, the phenomenon of corruption also occurs highly developed States with established democratic traditions. After all, corruption knows neither nationality, nor borders, nor other barriers to political reality. Like any phenomenon caused by human activity, corruption is not static and evolves in parallel with the human relations complication. Under the pressure of globalization «traditional» corruption is transforming and acquiring new features that allow it to be classified as «global corruption». Paradoxically, but in the modern world global corruption is a stabilizing mechanism of the contemporary model of the world order and a fuse against the destruction of non-viable forms of human coexistence. The article argues that States with unstable institutional environments, in particular Ukraine, becomes the «transit hub» of global corruption through financial-political groups’ mediation. After all, corruption is the cementing foundation of the functioning of modern financial-political groups. It is noted that such corporate groups are characterized by a combination of economic, political and administrative components in order to realize private and sectoral interests. It is emphasized that the financial-political groups’ formation due to the merger of political and business interests is inherent not only in unstable institutional environments, but also in the States with developed economic and political systems. Two algorithms of the development of the interconnection between financial-industrial groups and public authorities in an unstable institutional environment are proposed: 1) complete subordination of political and economic activities of financial-industrial groups to the will of the State – «occupation of business» (for example in the Russian Federation); 2) «seizure of power» by financial-industrial groups and their further transformation into financial-political groups (for example in Ukraine).

Possible directions of transformation of the state policy in the field of education of nurses in a narrow issue of end-of-life nursing care in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals are identified. The 70th UN General Assembly where civic society organizations actively participated adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as part of the Summit on Sustainable Development in September 2015, which included 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals. Global Goal 4.7 stated: «By 2030 ensure all learners acquire knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development». This Goal also applies to medical education (in particular, for nurses). The improvement of the content of this education is actual in the context of the implementation of medical reform in Ukraine. A content analysis of the international curriculum for nurses and its comparison with teaching documents implemented in medical colleges in Ukraine has been made. The program developed in the United States with active participation of civil society organisations has been found to be consistent with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. Comparing these documents, we can easily see Ukrainian curricula inconsistency with both international standards of nursing training and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These curricula form only a generalized understanding of the value of cultural diversity and human rights and do not include issues of social justice, inclusion, multidisciplinary cooperation etc. A content analysis of the Strategy for the Development of Medical Education in Ukraine, approved by the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 27th February, 2019, № 95-r, revealed that the document does not provide for the inclusion of aspects set out in Global Goal 4.7. Participation of citizens in development of national educational policy is the obligatory precondition for forming of the democratic society and encourages better compliance of educational programs with the needs of the population. It is argued that in the context of medical reform, it is necessary to change the approach to the content of medical education and the formation of the competence of nurses, in particular, in the field of end-of-life care in undergraduate education. Cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary cooperation is needed to develop quality training programs for nurses in line with international standards; this could be done in particular by involving civil society institutions in the process.

In Ukraine, amphibian anomalies have not been sufficiently studied. The most studied regions are Kyiv region and the steppe zone of Ukraine. In the Kharkiv region, studies of external anomalies of amphibians have not been conducted before. In 2016 we have begun to study this problem. The purpose of this study is to examine the variety of external anomalies of amphibians in the Kharkiv region. The material is sampling amphibians from the stock collections of the Museum of Nature of V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University and sampling live amphibians from different localities of the Kharkiv region, explored in the period from 2016 to 2018. Anomalies were determined visually, according to the classification of V.L.Vershinin and O.D.Nekrasova. For each the amphibian species frequency of malformed animals Pas (the proportion of abnormal individuals from all individuals in the sample) and partial frequency of abnormalities Ap (the proportion of individuals in the sample having this anomaly) were determined. As a result 17 variants of morphological abnormalities were identified: brachydactyly, oligodactyly, ectromelia, polyphalangy, finger thickening, rotation, syndactyly, shizodactyly, ectrodactyly, skin web and growth on the foot, thaumelia, hemimelia, lack of a swimming membrane, anophthalmia, brachycephaly and pattern abnormal. The most widespread anomaly encountered in the surveyed amphibians is brachydactyly (accounting for almost half of the reported cases of morphological abnormalities). This limb anomaly is the least harmful, so individuals with such abnormalities are usually quite viable. Amphibian anomalies are evenly distributed among samples: the highest occurrence of individuals with anomalies was recorded in Lissotriton vulgaris, in other samplings of frog (except Bufotes viridis and Bombina bombina), the occurrence of individuals with anomalies did not exceed five percent. A new type of body color anomaly in this year's Bufotes viridis was also identified and described.

The demographic processes of the modern world in the context of international security are considered. The main focus is on the demographic situation in industrialized countries and developing countries. The nature of population growth in developing regions and the threat of uncontrolled migration are traced. The demographic problem of industrially developed countries - an increase in the proportion of the population of retirement age with a decrease in the proportion of the population of working age - is highlighted. It was revealed that the marginalization of the population, combined with the high mobility of the population, which is inherent in developing regions, creates the preconditions for further migration of the population, particularly to more developed regions, such a situation - a large percentage of mobile and young population in developing regions is a threat to socio-economic and political stability in developed regions, since a high standard of living, developed infrastructure, economic and social stability make developed regions attractive for migration from developing countries. It is analyzed that industrially developed regions have undergone a demographic transition, which has led to an increase in the proportion of the elderly population while the proportion of the working-age population has decreased, such demographic changes call into question the viability of the Welfare state model in the long term due to the lack of resources to support it, and a high standard of living actualizes the problem of uncontrolled migration from developing regions that have a surplus of population. The problem of institutional inefficiency in developing regions is considered, which can determine the problem of natural disasters, hunger, wars and epidemics and, as a consequence, a massive uncontrolled process of changing the place of residence, is a serious factor of regional and international security. The article analyzes how the demographic situation in the modern world is a challenge and threat to regional and international security.

Under the conditions of a model pot experiments, the reaction of the self-fertile lines of alfalfa Kishvardy 46, Kishvardy 27, Vertus and Ziguen to inoculation with nodule bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti AC48 and AC88 was studied. As a result of studies, it was found that the intensity of assimilation of N2 by symbiotic systems created with the participation of various genotypes of alfalfa and active strains of S. meliloti is one of the main factors that affects the vegetative mass yield of this important forage crop. Self-fertile lines of Medicago sativa L. plants, inoculated with different strains of rhizobia were characterized by higher rates of the mass formed on the root nodules, compared to the control plants of the alfalfa variety Yaroslavna. The traditional dynamics of nitrogen-fixation activity of root nodules was maintained in all the symbiotic systems studied by us, with low values in the stems formation stage and intensive growth in the budding and flowering stages. The highest level of nitrogen fixation and vegetative growth of plants (values of plants green and dry mass, roots and root nodules mass) was established by inoculation of alfalfa line Kishvardy 46 with strain S. meliloti AC48. During the growing season the indices of the mass of nodules formed on the roots of these plants were higher by 1.8–2.3 times, the green mass by 1.2–1.6 times and the height of the plants 1.2–1.4 times as compared to the control. In the flowering stages the nitrogen-fixation activity of the symbiotic complex of plants of the Kishvardy line 27 and nodule bacteria S. meliloti AC48 exceeded the values in the symbiotic systems formed with the participation of the same strain and plants of the Ziguen and Vertus lines by 13.0 and 39.4 %. The lowest values of nitrogen fixation activity were observed by inoculation of plants of the Vertus and Ziguen lines with active strains S. meliloti AC48 and AC88 compared to the symbioses formed by the plants of the Kishvardy lines 27 and 46, as well as of the control-variety Yaroslavna with the noted strains. A stimulating effect of inoculation of alfalfa seeds of different genotypes on the growth and development of plants was noted, as evidenced by the positive dynamics of the increase in above-ground mass, the accumulation of dry matter and higher than the control values (indicators) of plant height during the growing season.

The long-term floristic research in the City of Kharkiv, as well as analysis of the literature data and CWU herbarium materials recorded 95 species, 65 genera and 38 families of plants in the present water and wetland flora of the city. Of these, 18 species occur in the water bodies, and 77 species in the wetlands. An annotated list of the water and wetland flora is compiled. All species are provided with the data on their distribution within the city, habitat conditions, types of geographic range and conservation status. Geographical analysis revealed the general correspondence of the city flora to the typical flora of the region. The city flora is represented by the groups of species with five regional types; the Circumpolar (35 species, 36.8 %) and the Eurasian (26 species, 27.3 %) types are the most speciose. In terms of conservation importance, 15 recorded species require protection ‒ two species of water vascular plants and 13 species of wetlands. Of these, four species are listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Anacamptis coriophora, Anacamptis palustris, Dactylorchiza majalis, Epipactis palustris); seven species are in the list of plants that require special protection in the Kharkiv Region (Carex pseudocyperus, Nuphar luteum, Parnassia palustris, Ranunculus circinatum, Typha laxmannii, Valeriana officinalis, Vallisneria spiralis); three species are listed in Annex II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES II) (Anacamptis coriophora, Anacamptis palustris, Epipactis palustris); one species (Epipactis palustris) is in the list of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and two species are in the Red List of Macrophytes (Nuphar lutea and Glyceria arundinacea). One species is also a member of а plant association listed in the Green Data Book of Ukraine, and two species are the members of vegetation groups in the Green List of Kharkiv Region. Five invasive species were found in the city flora: three water species (Pistia stratiotes, Vallisneria spiralis, Elodea canadensis) and two wetland species (Echinocistis lobata and Bidens frondosa).

Of these, 18 species occur in the water bodies, and 77 species in the wetlands. An annotated list of the water and wetland flora is compiled. All species are provided with the data on their distribution within the city, habitat conditions, types of geographic range and conservation status. Geographical analysis revealed the general correspondence of the city flora to the typical flora of the region. The city flora is represented by the groups of species with five regional types; the Circumpolar (35 species, 36.8 %) and the Eurasian (26 species, 27.3 %) types are the most speciose.

Aspects of national security in the modern globalized world are analyzed, methods of influencing the factors of national security are studied, special attention is paid to the role of national interests in the context of national security, the issues of «legitimization of power» and «right of rebellion» as ones of the internal destabilizing factors of national security are analyzed. The main focus is given to the information and psychological confrontation in the media and its impact on human consciousness. The necessity of struggle against external influences for stable development and strengthening of own state sovereignty is analyzed. The document «On the National Security Strategy of Ukraine» is considered as a fundamental legislation that regulates and establishes the directions of threat to Ukraine in the context of information confrontation between states. The main elements of influence and their result on European countries are studied. Recent events in Belarus and the coronavirus pandemic are forcing more attention to national security issues and threats from outside players. The main factor in preserving sovereignty is the clear formulation of one's own national interests and defending them in the international arena. Extension of Ukraine’s cooperation with the world’s leading countries (especially in the field of cyber security and military cooperation) should help strengthen interstate ties and expand interstate partnerships in the field of economy and security. The main aspects of stability and instability among modern methods of political struggle are highlighted. The study of national security involves the analysis of current world political events and processes, namely – globalization, migration, economic crisis, technological development, etc. These processes are very interconnected and, to some extent, complement each other. We can see that global political change in the world at the beginning of the ХХІst century is the foundation for a new world order.

The article presents the results of studying the accumulation of water-soluble phenolic compounds in the leaves of woody plants growing in the area of sanitary protection zones of a number of enterprises of Zaporizhzhya: Zaporizhzhya Titanium & Magnesium Combine, Zaporizhzhya Aluminium Plant, Zaporizhzhya Abrasive Plant, Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhcoke, Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant, Zaporizhvohnetryv, Ukrgrafit and Zaporizhtransformator. The concentration of phenolic compounds was found to be significantly higher under the technogenic conditions compared to the relatively "clean" area. Their highest concentration was found in the leaves of woody plants growing in the forest belt near the Zaporizhcoke plant. For the level of accumulation in the organs of assimilation of trees, and thereby for the degree of air pollution by the phenolic compounds, enterprises can be ranked as follows: Zaporizhcoke > Zaporizhstal ≥ Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant > Zaporizhvohnetryv > Ukrgrafit > Zaporizhzhya Aluminium Plant > Zaporizhzhya Titanium & Magnesium Combine > Zaporizhzhya Abrasive Plant > Zaporizhtransformator. Depending on the level of accumulation of phenolic compounds in the leaves, the plants have been divided into three groups. The largest amount of the pollutant, compared to the other species of woody plants, is being accumulated by the leaves of the following species: Ailanthus altissima, Betula pendula, Juglans regia, Populus alba, Populus nigra, Populus piramidalis, Populus simonii, Elaeagnus angustifolia, and the least amount – by Morus alba, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia cordata, Ulmus carpinifolia, Armeniaca vulgaris, Fraxinus lanceolata. The following species occupy the intermediate position between the two groups: Acer negundo, Acer platanoides, Aesculus hippocastanum, Catalpa bignonioides, Salix alba, Ulmus laevis. The tree species that can be characterized by their capacity to accumulate the highest concentration of water-soluble phenolic compounds may be recommended for the purpose of purification of atmospheric air. The following plant species, which turned to be the most sensitive indicators of air pollution, have been listed in a descending order according to the value of the coefficient of relative accumulation of phenolic compounds. Such species include Betula pendula, Catalpa bignonioides, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Ailanthus altissima, Populus simonii, Acer negundo, Ulmus laevis and Fraxinus lanceolata.

The main factors of the comprador phenomenon as an actor of globalization are analyzed. The global liberal democracy that took shape during the second half of the 20th century is now being transformed. New actors are entering on the geopolitical space. Geopolitical order in the first decades of the XX s. faces the challenges of both the past century and the new. The issues of the new agenda and factors of new challenges are highlighted; shows the prospects for overcoming geopolitical turbulence. Attention is focused on the intensification of the challenges of the 20th century. along with the emergence of new ones in the second decade of the twenty-first century. Among these challenges - the Covid-19 pandemic and, accordingly, the global quarantine, which led to an increase in social tension in societies of different regions of the world, put on question the ability of state structures to ensure national security and the health of their citizens, which in general can have unexpected consequences, both for individual regions and countries, and the world as a whole. Due to the closure of state borders, the curtailment of transport links between continents and countries, between the internal national regions, a situation that is atypical for a globalized world has been created, which is familiar to us from the historical past, namely, the recreation of the world of fragmented feudalism, where other mechanisms of social and political interaction operate. It is indicated that from the point of view of the world-systems analysis, a small number of them belong to the capitalist center, that is, to the core, where the global agenda and the methods of protecting national security are formed. But the overwhelming majority of countries and states are in the periphery and semi-periphery groups. The phenomenon, which was the result of the colonial policy of nascent capitalism, persists to this day, but in other forms, retaining its functions. At the same time, the need to support the neo-colonial order remains, and therefore there is still a political interest in the formation of such groups in the third world (periphery) countries.
