The aim: To determine the dynamics of adaptation resources and the level of psychological safety of the personality in service members of the National Guard of Ukraine who participated in combat operations in the East of Ukraine. Materials and methods: To determine the peculiarities of military personnel adaptation to the combat activity, the “Adaptability-200” and “Disdaptability-45” methodologies were used. To determine the level of psychological safety of combatants we used “Diagnosis of psychological safety personality” and “Express diagnosis of psychological safety personality” Methodologies. The study was carried out during 2017, with 163 military participating. Results: Being 2-3 weeks in combat conditions, 54% service members revealed high, 32% – average level of adaptability, and in 14% of them signs of non-adaptability were detected. The data of adaptation resources of combatants correlates with the results of diagnostics of psychological safety of personality: in 43% of them high level, 42% – average and 15% – low level of psychological safety were revealed. Conclusions: The data obtained in the absolute majority of service members (86%) shows a good adaptability to combat conditions, and allows predicting adequate response to extreme conditions, high probability of preserving of the mental health and disability after the influence of vital factors.

This paper reports the rationale for the modification of Brown’s zero-order model, which ensures increased accuracy of the short-term fire forecast based on the use of the current measure of recurrence in the increments of the state of the air environment in the premises. A special feature of the proposed model modification is that the a priori model of the dynamics of the level of the time series of the measure of the current recurrence of increments in the air environment states determined by the dangerous factors of the fire has been modified. In this case, it is proposed that the new a priori model should take into consideration additionally the value of the current increments of the level of the studied time series. That makes it possible to negligibly reduce errors of the short-term forecast of fire in the premises without significantly complicating Brown’s zero-order model while retaining all its implementing advantages. The provided accuracy of the forecast for one step in advance on the basis of a time series of measures of the current recurrence of increments of the state of the air environment, determined from the experimental data during the ignition of alcohol and timber in a laboratory chamber, has been investigated. The considered quantitative indicators of forecast accuracy are the absolute and average errors exponentially smoothed with a parameter of 0.4. It has been established that for the proposed modification the value of the average absolute error does not exceed 0.02 %. That means that an error of the short-term forecast of a fire in the premises based on the proposed modification is an order of magnitude less than that in the case of using known Brown’s model at the smoothing parameter from an unclustered set. The results from the ignition of alcohol and timber in the laboratory chamber, in general, indicate significant advantages of using the proposed modification of Brown’s zero-order model for a short-term forecast of a fire in the premises.

Abstract. This article considers the condition of ensuring national security of Ukraine in situations of the armed conflict in some areas of Luhansk and Donetsk regions. It proves the relevance of implementation of civil-military cooperation. The paper provides the analysis of the theoretical basis, tasks and functions of civil-military cooperation. The article explores activities of civil-military cooperation entities in Ukraine. It defines that the current situation in the South-East of Ukraine shows that tasks of monitoring and forecasting civil environment, forming recommendations regarding mutual influence of civil and military's acts have not been fully accomplished. The paper suggests using programmatic means of supporting decision making that were created on the basis of geoformation systems as a possible way of solving the problems.

Introduction: The purpose of educational process in higher educational establishments is to train specialist who has fully mastered the professional competencies for performing daily activities and for action in non-standard situations, which can occur during fulfilling obligations. The aim: Compare the formation of professional competence and practical skills as important part of increasing effectiveness of specialists training; check the correspondence with current legal acts, which regulate the first aid training. Materials and methods: The bibliography method, info-analytic method, the comparative method, and logical method were used in our research. Conclusion: Improvement of complex first aid curriculum for professionals of emergency service is determined the increasing of the level of psychological readiness for performing professional duties.

The aim: The aim of the research is to study the medical, social and psychological aspects of providing assistance to families of military personnel who performed combat missions in extreme conditions and to develop the main directions for improving the organization of providing psychological assistance to such families in Ukraine. Materials and methods: The research material is the legislation of Ukraine, foreign and domestic experience in providing psychological assistance to families of military personnel, statistical information. In the course of the study, the method of systematization, the comparative method, content analysis, the research of products of activity, concretization, abstraction and generalization of statistical data were applied. Conclusions: The study of foreign and current domestic experience in providing psychological assistance to families of military personnel shows that today the need for its integration with such an important area as medical and social work is not fully taken into account. The break in unity between these areas significantly impairs the effectiveness and completeness of the rehabilitation of servicemen, violates the integrity and staged provision of all-round assistance to the families of Ukrainian combatants. Along with this, it should be noted the increasingly significant role that the work of specialists in the field of Civil-Military Cooperation takes, who, among other tasks, in special cases are obliged to organize work with members of the families of military personnel. To design the main directions for improving work with families, we analyzed the ramified structure of state and non-state organizations and institutions, volunteer and research centers, support groups for military personnel, veterans and their family members, which today operate in the United States. Proceeding from this and the realities of solving the problem in Ukraine, the main directions and proposals for the organization of medical, social and psychological assistance to the families of Ukrainian military personnel who performed combat missions in extreme conditions were formulated.
