The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the predicted changes in the area, as well as the significant narrowing of the zone of optimal growth of Scots pine. These forecasts are based on obtaining data on the ongoing climate changes. A constant decrease in precipitation, along with a gradual increase in temperature levels, will lead to consequences such as uncontrolled changes in ecosystems. Such a substantial change in abiotic factors caused by human activity plays a key role in the formation of forest coenoses. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the change in the average annual temperature, as well as the monthly amount of precipitation observed in the forest communities in the Separated Subdivision of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine “Boyarka Forest Research Station”. The analysis is performed over decades to obtain data on the level of temperature change in relation to the previous period. This also includes a comparison of monthly precipitation for 2021 relative to 1991-2020, which is set as normal. To obtain indicators of the average annual temperature, the average value method is used, followed by calculating the value of the average annual temperature for each decade. To find the deviation in total precipitation, the method of estimating the moisture conditions according to total precipitation is used. Therewith, the value of a substantial deviation is taken at 20% relative to the precipitation rate. According to the study results, it was established that in 2001-2010 the average annual temperature changed by 0.83°C relative to the previous decade, and in 2011-2020 by 0.74°C relative to the previous period. Such dynamics indicate a gradual increase in the average annual temperature, which is reflected in the forecasts of the world community. During the estimation of moisture conditions, separate months of 2021 with a critical level of precipitation in relation to the normal period were selected. In March, the amount of precipitation was 43% of normal, in June – 32%, in September – 40%, and in October – only 4.3% of normal. The value in November was observed at 63% of the norm. Such a decrease in the amount of precipitation in relation to a gradual increase in the average annual temperature poses a threat of a decrease in the hydrological level of moisture. This leads to a decrease in the radial increment of tree stands, and a gradual shift in the growing area of Scots pine. The obtained analysis results will further be used to conduct dendrochronological studies of tree rings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in the tree stands of the Separated Subdivision of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine “Boyarka Forest Research Station”

The paper investigates the current regime of turbulent heat exchange with the atmosphere over the Barents and Kara Seas, as well as its spatial, seasonal and temporal variability (1979–2018). It is shown that over the past decades, the areas of the location of the centers of maximum energy exchange between the sea surface and the atmosphere have not changed significantly in comparison with the middle and second half of the XX century. It was revealed that the greatest seasonal and synoptic variability of heat fluxes is typical of the central and western parts of the Barents Sea. It was found that both indicators of variability in the cold season are 2–5 and more times higher than in the warm season, and the spatial heterogeneity of the indicators of variability in winter is about twice as large as in summer. Quantitative estimates have shown that, within the Barents Sea, the spatial variability of fluxes in winter may be 5–10 times or more higher than the summer values. Above the Kara Sea, the greatest heterogeneity in the fluxes field is typical of the autumn and early winter seasons. It has been found that the annual sums of heat fluxes from the surface of the Barents Sea exceed the values for the Kara Sea, on average, 3–4 and 5–6 times, for sensible and latent heat fluxes, respectively, and in some years may differ tens of times. For the period under study, a single trend of the integral fluxes over the water area and their annual magnitude is not expressed, although there are multi-year decadal fluctuations. It is shown that, despite the significant difference in the thermal regime of the Barents and Kara seas and the lower atmosphere above them, the interannual changes in the total turbulent flows are quite well synchronized, which indicates the commonality of large-scale hydrometeorological processes in these seas, which affect the energy exchange between the seas and the atmosphere.

Liberalism and neo-liberalism considered as two fundamental ideologies of the present, which review the state from the perspective of its unproductive influence on society. The state as the centralizing power in these ideologies often appears as a totalitarian monster that restricts market competition, adversely affects human rights, in every way attempts to usurp administrative resources and create different monopolies. All these phenomena estimated in liberal ideology as an inevitable social evil. That is why the topic of deconstruction of state power in the liberal ideological discourse often actualized.The nexus paradigm common to liberalism shared by neoliberalism, whose theorists are looking at the state as a tool for securing the privileges of those social groups that are already at the highest hierarchical levels in the stratification system.In Ukraine, we do not have to deal with a similar liberal and neo-liberal consistency, since the tendencies in the state genesis not so much related to a market economy and a democratic society, but to feudal renovations. The latter determine the reverse of the deconcentration and decentralization of the growth of the power resource, which the state tries to increase, if not reduce, when it is possible.However, in many aspects from a scientific point of view, there is reason to speak about the crisis of statehood due to the reduction of social efficiency of state power. This reduced efficiency for the society manifested in the substantial criminalization of the ruling elites, unproductive consumption, corruption practices, multiple theft and misuse of budget funds, low effectiveness of assistance to socially vulnerable groups of the population.For Ukrainian sociology, the very formation of the problem of state deconstruction seems, although premature, but quite possible in connection with the breakthrough crisis events that may arise due to regional separatism, the inability to pay debt, the growth of corruption to a level that would lead to the delegitimization of the state increasing centrifugal tendencies. The above gives grounds to assert that the problem of crisis and deconstruction of the state is now a terra incognita for Ukrainian sociology and may therefore be considered as an interesting subject of analytical research.
