Se discuten los temas de formación y manejo del portafolio de inversiones de la empresa en las condiciones del déficit global de recursos financieros provocado por la pandemia COVID-19. Se determinan los síntomas-factores que influyen en el nivel de prioridad de los proyectos de inversión, que se considera una característica latente y oculta. Se fundamenta la posibilidad de estimar esta característica latente con la ayuda de métodos y modelos estadísticos multidimensionales, en particular, sobre la base de métodos taxonómicos, método de componentes principales. Se dan ejemplos concretos de la aplicación de estas herramientas especificadas en el curso de la gestión de inversiones de la empresa ucraniana PJSC "Yantar". Está comprobado que la implementación simultánea de los dos proyectos de inversión estudiados de la empresa, es decir, toda la cartera de inversiones reales analizada es óptima desde el punto de vista de las condiciones establecidas. Si las condiciones financieras de la empresa son tales que solo es posible la implementación secuencial de las acciones planificadas, primero es necesario implementar una inversión relacionada con la mejora de la línea de empaque de productos terminados, y solo entonces, un proyecto para reemplazar equipos obsoletos en producción.

Quarantine restrictions have increased the relevance of distance learning, and the level of information and communication technology development has made it possible for the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to switch to online mode, this being the optimal solution amid the pandemic. The object of this paper is to analyse the practical aspects of distance learning under quarantine and to identify the key factors affecting its efficiency. The assessment of the distant technologies use during the educational process and its efficiency was carried out by means of anonymous online questionnaire survey of the students from 4 higher education institutions: University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, National Transport University, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine and Separated structural subdivision of the Kyiv College of Municipal Economy of The V.I. Vernadsky Taurida National University. The research has revealed the level of technical provision for distance learning; the level and practical experience of using distance technologies by the participants of the educational process was determined; the behavioural factors (students’ attendance and teachers’ adherence to the class schedule and thematic outlines) were examined; motivational factors of students’ learning online were analysed; the most significant benefits of distance learning were examined; the higher education students’ attitude to the blended and distance forms of learning was determined. It has been substantiated that distance learning organisation in the institution based on a single shared platform is a prerequisite for ensuring a highly effective online learning process. The practical value of the paper lies in the application of the survey results to enhance and increase the distance learning efficiency at the higher education institution level

Topicality of research into banking security is justified by growing importance of the banking sector in financing the development of countries and vulnerability to cyclical crises. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for assessing the security of the banking sector in a crisis. Security is relevant for the banking sector as entrepreneurship. The scientific work proposes a methodical support. The sequential stages of evaluation are identified, such as the formation of a set of indices; determination of characteristic values of indices; normalization of indices; determination of weighting coefficients; calculation of the complex indicator. The set of banking security indices has been expanded to include indices that are important from the point of view of lending to the development of the economy and the economic security of the banking sector. The characteristic values of the proposed indices have been determined. The weighting coefficients of indices are set by an expert method. Methodical support for monitoring is based on the calculation of a complex banking security indicator and determination of its level according to the established gradations. The results indicate the expediency of monitoring and using effective tools to influence the state of banking security to improve its level.

In conclusion, they highlight the advantages of attracting investment resources at the expense of budgetary allocations, namely the public-private partnership model as a concession. Finally, it carriesout the comparative characteristic of the conditions of the implementation of investment projects in various models of attraction of investment resources at the expense of budgetary allocations.

Sustainable development of the world is one of the most discussed topics, while well-being and risk-awareness of the employees are important elements to achieve it. The aim of the study is to analyse the work environment factors that are considered important by prospective and new employees and compare them with the opinions of experienced professional HR and company managers. The second goal of the research paper is to measure the risk-awareness of young adults due to its relevance for the current discussion. The results of the study show that students consider safe and ergonomic working conditions, green thinking, flexible working hours and good pay as the most important factors in the workplace. HR professionals, on the other hand, consider the psychological climate, safety, engagement, and work-life balance as the most important factors. Young adults in Latvia show some level of risk-awareness, while a deeper understanding of the issues is necessary.
