Abstract

Relevance of the study is determined by the rapid growth of interest in African countries from key players in the world economy seeking to expand and strengthen their presence on the continent.
The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the economic development of African countries in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
Objectives: identification of the channels of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economic development of African countries; clarification of the current economic development agenda; study of the features of providing economic assistance to Africa by the world's leading financial institutions; identification of the key economic and social consequences for African countries in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
The methodology is represented by the methods of scientific generalisation, information collection and processing, analysis and synthesis.
Results. The impact of the coronavirus on African countries is superimposed on a significant number of existing problems: global warming, lack of drinking water, lack of a developed diversified industry, locusts, low standards of living and education, etc. There are no accumulated financial reserves that could mitigate the effects of the economic crisis. The countries of the continent are on the path of increasing the level of public debt, which places a heavy burden on national economies.
Conclusions. African countries in the context of the sanitary and economic crisis risk losing in a short time the achievements that were made during the 25 years of continuous economic growth that preceded the pandemic. Some countries in the region are acutely dependent on the demand for resources exported to the world market, while others are threatened by the weakening of the tourist flow from developed countries. Africa's dependence on international capital is rapidly increasing, allowing lenders to increase their control over the region's States. The coronavirus pandemic will suspend integration trends on the African continent at least in the medium term.

Abstract

Relevance. Currently, the Russian economy is characterized by extremely large volumes of waste generation and this problem is a real threat to the country's sustainable development. In the European part of Russia, despite its vastness, the area of free land is limited, and in some cases they are not available at all. This restricts the storage and disposal of waste and creates conditions for the mass distribution of illegal waste dumping and the occurrence of spontaneous unauthorized dumps. Often, when such landfills occur on land plots that do not have an owner, it is very problematic to identify the person responsible for their occurrence and bring them to justice, and in the case of proven violations, violators usually face no more than 2 thousand rubles. In this regard, this study solved an urgent task, which is to develop a scientifically based approach to increasing liability for the specified environmental offense, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of this problem.
The purpose is to develop ways to improve public waste management, in particular unauthorized landfills, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of this problem.
Objectives. The scientific and technical task is to develop an approach to increasing responsibility for the occurrence of spontaneous unauthorized landfills by using a differentiated system of penalties levied on those responsible for the formation of landfills.
Methodology. The article uses the dialectical method as a General scientific method of cognition. The authors consider the methods of state waste management, in particular, the mechanism of bringing to responsibility for an environmental offense – the occurrence of an unauthorized dump.
Results. Being considered A method for calculating a fine for the occurrence of a spontaneous unauthorized dump, taking into account its environmental and social danger. Rapid detection and initial accounting of natural unauthorized dumps formed on the urban territory is carried out using the Internet resource developed by the authors. Assessment of landfill hazard and calculation of penalties is performed in accordance with the methods developed by the authors using plug-in external software modules.
Conclusions. The proposed approach to calculating differentiated penalties for the occurrence of spontaneous unauthorized landfills takes into account the environmental and social danger of landfills and is a direction of economic incentives for environmentally sound behavior, since the increased amount of the fine will contribute to the rapid elimination of unauthorized landfills by land owners

Abstract

Relevance. An important aspect in the study of this topic is that in the last decade there has been an interest in examining the social status of women in monotheistic religions. The Christian religion became the ideological foundation of European civilization, the dominant mentality of Europeans, and the attitude towards women in Christianity during the formation of the church organization and doctrine largely predetermined its position in all Christian countries in subsequent stages of social development. The research problem is gaining topical sound in the modern world, including the status of women in society in the context of various religious teachings, and also "the position of a woman determines the nature of the relationship between the sexes, the model of marriage, the strength of the marriage bond, the quality of family relations".
The purpose of this study is to study and analyze the female status in the Jewish and Christian traditions based on the books of the Torah and the Holy Scriptures.
Оbjectives: to analyze the features of the used historical sources;to give a comparative analysis of the position and status of women in Judaism and Christianity;to determine the place and role of women in Jewish and Christian traditions;to analyze the factors that influenced the position of women in the early Christian community;
Methodology. In the process of working on the study, the principle of historicism was used, i.e. the image of a woman was viewed primarily from a historical perspective. Also, both general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, analogy) and private (comparative-historical method, hermeneutic method, chronological method) were used.
The research results can be used in the course of the educational process when considering issues within the framework of various courses in anthropology, history of philosophy, history of the ancient world, ethics, sections of socio-gender identity, etc.
Сonclusions. When considering the female status from the point of view of the Jewish and Christian traditions, it was established that a man and a woman are personally equal before God, because are of the same human nature. However, in Christianity, this substantial-personal approach is expressed in its entirety.

Relevance. The sharing economy is a growing pattern of consumer behavior that relies on providing access and reusing products to exploit idle capacity. The sharing economypresents huge opportunities and significant threats to both emerging and existing businessesat the same time. The impact of the sharing economy on companies ' business models remains an area of little research.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the prospects for the development of the economy of shared consumption at the present time and the possibilities of adapting companies to existing trends.
The objectives of this study are to discuss two areas: (1) the unevenness and problems that arise within digital platforms for shared consumption, and (2) the deviations that go beyond them - as well as a description of the author's proposals on how to recognize the impact of the economy of shared consumption on the business models of companies.
Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is the principles of objectivity and consistency of scientific analysis and synthesis, based on general scientific methods of cognition: dialectical, historical, formal – logical, structural – systematic, comparative – legal and other methods of scientific research.
Results. The article is based on foreign research and a number of examples and examines the three most important blocks of the business model, which managers should pay special attention to in order to be ready to respond to the changes caused by the economy of shared consumption. The main elements of business models in the economy of shared consumption were recognized as the value proposition, profit extraction and key resources.
Conclusions. Despite the fact that the concept of shared consumption is topical, considering its consequences from various points of view shows that the process of rethinking has only just begun. Faced with the constraints of resources, space, and money, we will soon find that sharing gradually modifies the way we think, our habits, and, ultimately, the ways in which goods are produced, sold, and discussed

Abstract

The relevance of the present study is based on processes of digitization and resulting transformation of both economy and modern society producing new understanding of and approaches to organization of production, human involvement in production processes and procedures, changed expectations of employers in terms of digital literacy required of employees.
The purpose of the work is to assess the impact of digital and information and communication technologies on the components of intellectual capital.
The objectives of the study are to assess changes in structural and human capital, organize the company's external interaction, and determine the role of innovation as an element of intellectual capital.
Methodology. The study used an analysis of data published by analytical agencies and government agencies related to the components of intellectual capital.
The resuits of the study is the notion of evolution which has become characteristic of all aspects of intellectual capital as a result of large-scale digitization of both economy and human society: the main sources of intellectual capital in today’s economy are intellectual and digital properties of human resources (level of education, qualifications, digital literacy and acquisition of advanced information and communication technologies). The study also suggests regarding innovation capital as an outcome of interaction between company’s structural (informational, primarily) and human capitals.
Conclusion. The main conclusion drawn in the study is that both external and internal communication of business entity in modern economic environment is deemed impossible without advanced technologies – this condition induces changes in both structure, nature and organization of communication, and produces such new phenomena as ‘digital identity’ and ‘digital environment’.

Abstract

Relevance. In modern times, the issues of digitalization of the property complex are relevant both for the work of municipal authorities and for regional structures. In the current socio-economic situation after the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to digitize property management processes is reaching the level of "necessity". It seems necessary to study the processes associated with the implementation of digital platforms for property management at the regional level and at the level of a single municipality.
The purpose of the article is to study the problems associated with the introduction of digitalization in the management of state and municipal property, as well as a theoretical and methodological justification for the need to apply modern approaches in the management process.
Objectives. Achievement of this goal predetermined the solution of the following tasks: analysis of changes in the property complex of a particular municipality and region. Recommendations were made to focus on budgetary policy and allocate funds for a "pilot" project to implement a "digital" platform.
Methodology. The research is based on the methods of expert assessments, economic and mathematical modeling, as well as the management method.
Results. It seems necessary to include among the results obtained in the course of the study: the differentiation of marketing development strategies based on the digitalization of property management, mainly related to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. A characteristic assessment of the management platform from the descriptive point of view of M. Eunli is given, which allows you to clearly verify the advantages of introducing digital technologies into management processes.
Conslusion. Currently, in view of the lack of clear tools for assessing and predicting the level of digitalization of property management processes, the research materials allow conducting an expert analysis of the factors that must be taken into account when introducing digital platforms.
