The aim: To determine the differences in the ability of young people with low and high economic statuses towards emotional self-regulation, and characterize their frame of mind by analyzing functional and dysfunctional emotions in healthy and unhealthy states. Materials and methods: Theoretical – analysis, generalization, interpretation of the collected data; a set of empirical methods — “Attitude to health” by Berezovskaya, the scale “Quality of life” in the adaptation by Vodopyanova, self-assessment income scale and validated questionnaire “Subjective economic well-being” by Khashchenko. The author has applied Pearson’s chi-squared test, Student’s t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The affective component of health manifests in the predominance of happiness (t=0.3, p≤0.01) and peace (t=1.7, p≤0.1) as components of a positive frame of mind among young people with high economic status. Such emotions such as fear (t=2.1, p≤0.03), anxiety (t=2, p≤0.04) and irritability (t=1.8, at p≤0.07) are more common among young people with low economic status. Young people who have high economic status show stronger ability to emotional self-regulation in comparison to the ones with low economic status (χ² = 11.9, p≤0.001). Conclusions: In this research, we have found a statistically significant difference in the ability towards emotional self-regulation between young people with low and high economic status: the latter group is able to control dysfunctional emotions such as anger and resentment more when communicating with others; they are more likely to find internal psychological resources. When the health deteriorates, the young people with high economic status are prone to show independence, and manage their own time and life, which is a sign of stable mental health.

Digital transformation forms the necessary prerequisites for the transition of agriculture to more modern technologies and forms of organizing agribusiness. The purpose of the study is to identify the potential benefits and difficulties of creating digital platforms in the agricultural sector. The goal was achieved on the basis of an analysis of the reports of consulting firms, government programs, publications of foreign and Russian scientists, as well as observations and generalization of the experience of Russian digital companies. As a result, it was established that the digital platform can be considered, on the one hand, as a digital model of agribusiness. The platform business model differs from the traditional one in the way of monetizing the market supply, digitalization of business processes increases its flexibility and helps to reduce transaction costs. On the other hand, a digital platform is an ecosystem, whose participants reap economic benefits through synergy and networking. At the present stage, the formation of digital platforms and services in the agro-industrial complex is constrained by the low level of maturity of end-to-end technologies for the agricultural industries and the digitalization of agribusiness. The conducted research reveals the potential benefits of the digital platform for agribusiness entities.

This study continues the extensive and painstaking work in the research of educational services at Universities in Eastern Europe. The purpose of the study is to compare educational preferences of Polish and Ukrainian students at lectures. The study was carried out by authors since December 2018 till June 2020. There were 741 respondents in the study. The following research methods were used in the work: theoretical (specification and generalization; comparative and retrospective analysis; induction and deduction; classification); empirical (study scientific articles and content analysis of scientific sources); social statistics (planning of experiments, grouping of results, primary processing and verification of statistical hypotheses). The results obtained are of scientific and practical significance: 1. It was shown that students of both countries prefer visual teaching methods at lectures. 2. It has been proven that the educational preferences of Polish and Ukrainian students at lectures are not equal. Polish student preferences related the visual teaching methods at lectures are higher than Ukrainian ones. 3. Authorities Polish Universities should take into account the difference of Polish and Ukrainian student preferences in order to start selling educational services in Ukraine.
