The static picture of the rule of law, which almost always imposes itself as the main one, we shall try to depict in its live flow, which is some-how or other put aside. And that flow is of such kind that it shows continual conceptual and practical transformation of the rule of law. Let us mention but a few examples of that transformation over the past two centuries: liberal rule of law, socialist rule of law, cultural rule of law, welfare state, neo-liberal rule of law, supranational rule of law, international rule of law, all the way up to a possible world rule of law, which are announced together with the establishment of the transhuman society with one and the same rule of law. It may look like the circle is closing. And it took only a little over two centuries of practicing those ideas in the most developed countries around the world.It is obvious that the rule of law is a fragile creation. It is exactly byway of that fact that it is rendered possible to explain its accelerated two-century long transformation which can result in its likewise accelerated disruption and revoke. Today, the rule of law is increasingly more distant from the values and needs of daily human life, despite the privileged nominal and normative treatment. This is done with the intention of creating a transhuman, i.e. a dehumanised society and the law. In such society people exist for the purpose of technocratically built law, and not the law for the people.

The estrangement of young generation from nature and spending a lot of time with computers and television does not help them to understand the complexity of questions concerning environmental protection and make it incapable to take part in their solution.Passive verbal interaction in the classroom makes this situation worse. There are students who do not have motivation to study, show low academic results, turns them in early school leavers.All that motivated me to direct my attention to a change of teaching practice for improvement of ecological literacy and students’ responsibility, hoping that the use of interactive educational methods can change their global thinking.The observations and the reported results show that appropriate methods in “Biology and Health Education” in 7th grade are presentations, intellectual cards, case studies, role plays, brainstorming, group work. They are only a few of the methods, which can be successfully applied to the curriculum in 7th grade in “Biology and Health Education”. These methods increase the interest, the activity, the communication, the quality of the acquired knowledge and skills of students and give the opportunity to be applied in real life.

The paper analyzes the situation resulting from the adaptation of educational, cultural, healthcare institutions to a market economy. It is noted that the crisis in these areas is caused, to a great extent, by the inability of the state, under conditions of economic difficulties, to maintain budgetary funds at the required level in order to finance the socio-cultural sphere and also by the fact that the latter was inherited by modern Ukraine from the times of planned economy.The analysis of organizational and functional structure of state administration in the field of human development made it possible to identify priority areas for improvement of its activities, including:- enhancing the prestige of the executive agencies, responsible for humanitarian policy, which in turn will reduce the occurrence of destructive tendencies in society, uncontrollable local and asocial processes;- improving the standards of living;- a clear development strategy of the organizational and functional structure of state administration;- working on the development strategy of the regions and the whole country by the budget and tax systems;- the presence of intellectual potential in all areas.Internal and external environment factors and obstacles were highlighted, namely:- forming and implementation of the high standard of living; - civilizational guidelines of humanitarian development of Ukraine;- achievements and needs in the humanitarian field;- implementation of European standards in the legal support of national humanitarian sector;- reforming of the Ukrainian education system in the context of major trends in the European Higher Education Area;- culture as a factor of the formation of European identity and the growth of the human potential of the country;- actualization of Ukrainian heritage as an integral part of the European heritage;- modernization dimension of cultural policy;- integrated management model of cultural and information space of Ukraine.The article states that our country is among the countries with high scientific potential, so priority activity of public authorities should comprise the creation of conditions that provide not only an increase of such potential, but, above all, its maximal realization for the public interest. The state has to become a leader of innovation and direct investment development and an organizer of research and development in advanced areas of scientific and technological progress and to facilitate their implementation in all spheres of economic activity.The article analyzes the existing the following problems: inconsistent of legislation in the field of innovation and investment; significant reduction of the innovative activity of enterprises and general deterioration of innovation of culture; ineffectiveness of legal protection of intellectual property; an appropriate forecasting system of scientific and technological development and innovation has not been created; widespread practice of ignoring the law or suspension of the articles of laws concerning financial support of innovation.Despite the fact that the basic constituents of humanitarian spheres – education, culture, science, and health – are investigated more than by one generation of scientists and researchers, social policy itself has become the object of attention and learning in our country not long ago. A practical interest to itself, this sphere of social activity has retuned just the last decade – since the development and establishment of independent democratic Ukrainian state. The article deals with the concept of humanitarian policy and human development.It was determined and analyzed 1) the nature of humanitarian policy as a system of principles, objectives, mechanisms, consistent measures aimed at creating conditions for the development of the humanitarian community; 2) social dynamics of education, science and culture; 3) providing intellectual and spiritual security of a person; 4) implementation of humanitarian and spiritual needs of a person; 5) formation and enrichment of people's creative potential; 6) comprehensive fulfillment of the essential powers of a person, his/her spirituality.The article examines humanitarian policy not just as a one-sided mechanism to ensure human development, but also as a mechanism of interaction between a person, society and a state, which appears, on the one hand, to focus on people, improving the conditions of life, and on the other hand – to attract people to the state processes, and in a broader sense – to the world cooperation and development, which is now so important for the humanitarian development of the Ukrainian state.

The article deals with the security issues and the related army reform in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We focus on the continuing armed conflicts in the east of the DRC, destabilizing the situation in the region. We analyze the facts of human rights violation and the factors impeding the creation of the national army in the country. We also cover the problem of the DRC military cooperation with a number of other countries. The analysis enables us to broaden the understanding of the origin of armed conflicts in subtropical Africa and to define the specific features of the DRC military forces. We make a conclusion that the army reform in the DRC is a complicated process, which will demand great efforts and determined decisions of the DRC authorities. However, due to the lack of financing and professional personnel, these problems remain so far unsolvable.

In Russia the quantity of the newborn abandonment grows every year and makes 0,3—0,4 % of all newborn. The purpose of the article is to consider the main aspects of research made in this field and to define the spheres for the further investigation. The general purpose of the project is to give an explanation of theoretical and methodological aspects of the problem. Although the question of abandonment and neglect of children attracted attention of scholars concentrating on sociological, historical, medical aspects of the problem, one cannot but admit that there remain certain aspects to be studied. Beyond the attention of scientists there are such spheres as the structure and motives of Russian mothers in crisis, their image in mass media, modern features of the abandonments and neglect of children in Russia. Further research in this area will show other important aspects of social and culture factors of families in crisis. The analysis of all these factors and reasons will help to develop an implementation of the infant abandonments’ prevention service.
