The article defines the intensification of the development of anthropogenic geomorphology as one of the important areas of geographical science in Ukraine. Until now, there is practically no geomorphological classification of anthropogenic relief forms in the coastal zone of the seas and on the coasts in fundamental works. This significantly inhibits the further development of this scientific direction and adversely affects practical factors. Review and analysis of the history of research on the development of anthropogenic geomorphology showed the beginning of the occurrence of anthropogenic relief many centuries ago. But this was addressed by only a few geographers and representatives of the authorities. Only with the advent of machine production and the progress of modern coastal development, geomorphologists recognized a separate morpholithogenesis. Even today, foreign authors generally pay little attention to geomorphological issues of the study of anthropogenic relief on oceanic and sea coasts.\u0000Data and Methods. Mainly own experience of geomorphological studies in different European countries was used. Additional material is borrowed from publications of domestic and foreign authors supplemented with illustrations. Synthesis, classification, comparative and geographic as well as cartographic methods are used. Actual illustrative and graphic materials are included.\u0000Results. The first attempt to classify the anthropogenic relief on the sea coasts of the non-tidal seas of Europe (Mediterranean, Black, Azov) in several groups is outlined according to purposes: a) port; b) navigational; c) coast guard; d) recreational; e) extractive; f) residential. We also allow the presence of coastal and marine anthropogenic relief forms of other purposes in different regions of the sea coast. Separate geomorphological taxa are distinguished within elementary forms. It was found that within individual groups and types, they are divided into longitudinal and transverse, active and passive, large and small, vertical and horizontal, surface, underwater and complex, purposeful and accompanying, according to the material from which they are built, with natural relief and without him, ancient and modern. Some few taxa and elementary forms can be included in two or three complex forms and assignment groups, which leads to violations of the logical principles of classification construction. But such are the features of not only coastal and marine but also other classifications of anthropogenic relief. The given classification has a generally important theoretical and practical significance in geomorphology: it will contribute to further development of the general theory of anthropogenic geomorphology; will provide a characteristic of various anthropogenic forms necessary during the design and economic development of coasts; will be included in the educational program for the geographic disciplines “Geomorphology” and “Coastal science”,","PeriodicalId":398162,"journal":{"name":"Odesa National University Herald.

At the present time GIS‑technologies is finding greater use in different brunches of human activity. In the geography the spatially coordinated information goes through a holistic cycle of collecting information and its practical use including analysis, modelling, mapping, prognosis etc. Studying geography in the university and researching in any science direction connected with spatial information as well the spatial analysis and mapping cannot be done without modern means like program apps, WEB‑resources and instruments of field and remote investigation of Earth surface. At the Department of Physical Geography, Nature Management and GIS‑technologies of Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University GIS‑technologies was incorporated as to educational process so to scientific research in 1992–1993. The present stage of the development of geographic sciences and education relies on the arsenal of GIS methods and tools.\u0000But in the majority of publications the problem of the holistic perception of all GIS aspects is not reflected. The purpose of the paper is to form the conception of the complex role of GIS‑technologies in geographic education, science and practice.\u0000Data & Methods. The practice and theoretic materials and experience of the staff of the Department of Physical Geography, Nature Management and GIS‑technologies are used in the paper The methodological basis of the paper research is a systemic approach that means the GIS technologies are considered as a complete system consisting of a software complex, a hardware complex, spatially coordinated information, and developers and users. Analysis and synthesis as general scientific methods are the basis for summarizing the achievements of scientists and lecturers of the Department.\u0000Results. At the current stage of the higher geographical education development, the role of geoinformation technologies is threefold. GIS are as: 1) an object of study, 2) a means of learning and 3) a working tool for scientific research and applied development. Firstly, GIS‑technologies are the independent multidisciplinary studying object which demand on specifically skills in informatics, computer projection, geography etc. Secondly, GIS‑technologies are modern and high-power method of teaching students that thread their abilities and rise geographic education to new level letting geographers to be occupied in territory planning, land ordering, nature reservation etc. In the third, GIS‑technologies are powerful tool for scientific research, mapping, classification, DEM analysis, overlaying, statistics analysis etc. Pursuance of all these functions of GIS‑technologies in educational process favors the integrity and continuity of geoinformation education of geographers, combining knowledge and skills acquired in various courses.","PeriodicalId":398162,"journal":{"name":"Odesa National University Herald.

The emergence of the concept of imperatives is associated with the search for ways to solve the current and complex problem of interaction between society and the natural environment. At one time, I. Kant was engaged in solving this conflict, who developed a new concept – the imperative. Where the relationship of society with nature is not regulated, it is necessary to establish an ethical and moral norm of nature management, which he designated as a moral imperative, that is, as a “moral law”. A logical question arises about the practical significance of the moral imperative. At the end of the last century, an environmental imperative was established, which acquires the status of a moral law. The concept of geographical imperatives also has a similar methodological sequence of its formation. The purpose of our research is to develop a methodological scheme of geographical imperatives.\u0000Data&Methods. As a methodological basis, we used the developments described in the scientific works of Kant I., Bagrov M. V., Rudenko L. G., Chervanev I. G., Tunitsa Yu. Yu., and previous author’s developments. When conducting the study, the authors were guided by general scientific methods in geographical research, fundamental philosophical methods, in particular the principle of comprehensive consideration of the subject, the principle of unity of logical and historical. The authors used research in the field of synergetics, coevolution and the noosphere, which reveal a fundamentally new type of connection between nature and man in their interaction and provide for the use of a conscious rational strategy of interaction with the environment by humanity.\u0000Results. The development of geographical imperatives is one of the ways to overcome the barrier of differentiation between natural and social laws in the study of the integral shell of the Earth. The article presents a methodological scheme for thedevelopment of geographical imperatives, which consists of four significant blocks: a general scientific methodology for solving problems of interaction between society and nature using the category of moral imperatives; the second block concerns the subject area of Geographical Science, which indicates the use of moral imperatives for a holistic consideration of the Earth’s shell; the third block is devoted to practical needs – rational use of Natural Resources, which should be based on the concept of geographical imperatives, the conceptual and conceptual development of which is presented in the fourth block. The article presents an overview of geographical imperatives, which denote general concepts and categories that characterize the Earth’s shell as an integral socio-natural geosphere, including the geographical imperative of the integral landscape shell of the Earth, the geographical imperative of invaironment, the geographical imperative of the environment, the imperative of geospatial position, the Geospatial imperative, the imperat","PeriodicalId":398162,"journal":{"name":"Odesa National University Herald.

It is noted that modern requests for geographical knowledge are focused on the integral consideration of the Earth’s shell – complex and integrated geographical studies, although domestic geography is not sufficiently defined and contradictory to the issue of integrated consideration of the Earth’s shell as an integral geosphere. On the one hand, geographers try to take into account all the factors of functioning of the Earth’s shell – both natural-geographical and socio-economic, while the general geographical direction of research in the system ofgeographical sciences is represented only by auxiliary and serving disciplines. The purpose of the article is to determine the cognitive functions and target attitudes of a new scientific direction of geographical research, structuring its conceptual basis. When conducting the study, the authors were guided by general scientific methods in geographical research and fundamental philosophical methods. The authors used research in the field of synergetics, system analysis, which reveal a fundamentally new type of connection between nature and society in their interaction, increasing the effectiveness of geographical research as a result of integration, merging individual parts of geographical science into a single integral system. The article notes that the scientific development of rational nature management requires an understanding of the principles and mechanisms of functioning of the Earth’s shell as an integral and synergistic (self-regulated) socio-natural system. A generalized system of geographical sciences is proposed, in which four blocks are distinguished.\u0000The holistic direction of geographical research is based on the methodological block of the system of geographical sciences, which includes the analysis of the geospatial position of geographical objects and phenomena, the doctrine of territorial geographical complexes and systems, geospatial taxonomy of objects and phenomena in relation to the Earth’s shell, the concept of geospatial (territorial) organization of society.","PeriodicalId":398162,"journal":{"name":"Odesa National University Herald.

This article examines the problem of flooding of settlements in the Kherson region. The purpose of the study is to identify the latest risks of flooding of populated areas in the Kherson region and to formulate a list of measures aimed at reducing the threats and consequences of flooding.\u0000Data & Methods. The research used data from the Kherson Regional Center for Hydrometeorology; Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Kherson Region; The Department of Civil Protection of the Kherson Regional State Administration, the Office of the Kakhovskaya HPP. Among the research methods, the comparative method, cartographic and geo-informational methods, correlational, expert method were used.\u0000Results. Kherson region has the largest share of irrigated land among all regions of Ukraine. This fact, as well as the presence of significant waterless areas, reductions in the relief with the release of groundwater and water loss along the main irrigation canals, leads to constant flooding of certain areas. The most affected areas arelocated in the paludal depressions and coastal lowlands. Due to the strengthening of the continentality of the climate, the precipitation regime is also changing. The territory is characterised by summer-autumn rains with daily precipitation above 30 mm, which causes sudden flooding of downgrades and rise of groundwater in these periods. In order to monitor the potential risk of flooding, it is proposed to monitor interdependence: the water level of the Kakhovka Water Reservoir – the level of groundwater. Although this dependence has a deferred character, thus it is confirmed every year. There are four irrigation systems in the region: North Crimean, Kakhovka, Inhulets and Pravoberezhia (Right-Bank).\u0000Each year, the area of irrigated land increases from 0.1 to 1.0 thousand hectares, which significantly increases the risks of flooding in combination with the frequency of heavy rainfall. In a number of settlements with a high probability of flooding, a system of vertical and horizontal drainage has been built, but it requires constant maintenance and usually does not cope with its tasks.","PeriodicalId":398162,"journal":{"name":"Odesa National University Herald.

The systems of urban settlements in the administrative districts of the region are characterized by significant differentiation. This is especially evident when using a hierarchical approach to determine the level of urbanization. The regional systems of rural settlements in the region have smoother differences in terms of similar indicators in comparison with the systems of urban settlement. In general, the settlement systems of the administrative districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region had significant differences in key indicators, such as the area of the territory, the number and density of the population, the number of settlements. At the same time, in terms of the density of settlements and the average distance between them, the differences are less vivid.

Its main task is to attract the attention of the people of the planet to the problems of circulatory system diseases as the ones which have the highest incidence rates and mortality. The aim of the paper was to make a spatial analysis and to find out the morbidity tendencies of heart diseases among the population of Ukraine. The incidence structure of Ukraine’s population was identified. The dynamics of circulatory system morbidity in the years of 2009–2017 in Ukraine was analyzed. It has been established that heart disease incidence has tended to decrease. The administration regions of Ukraine were grouped according to the incidence rate of heart diseases among the population. The attention is paid to hypertension and myocardial infarction as they are the most common among the diseases of circulatory system. The decrease in the incidence rate by 1.6 and 1.1 times was recorded, respectively. In Ukraine the mortality dynamics from the diseases of circulatory system was analyzed for the years of 2009–2020. Cardiovascular diseases are the leaders in mortality of the population. The analysis of the mortality dynamics from the diseases of circulatory system proved the tendency towards its increase. The analysis of the statistical and cartographical data made it possible to single out two groups of the factors which predetermine the morbidity of circulatory system diseases among the population of Ukraine: physical-geographical and social-economic.\u0000The physical-geographical factors of the diseases of circulatory system (abnormallly high air temperatures in summer, a great number of days with heat stress, abrupt changes of atmospheric pressure) determine the highest incidence rates in southern (Odesa, Mykolayiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv regions) and western (Zakarpattia, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsk regions) areas of Ukraine.\u0000It has been stated that physical-geographical conditions of the territory, namely the location of the regions with high incidence rates near large mineral deposits, determine the next group of the factors of circulatory system diseases.

The aims of this study are to describe the morphology of coprolites, compare them with morphologically similar vertebrate coprolites, and identify their potential producers.\u0000Data & Methods. Two well-preserved specimens of the vertebrate coprolites(Morphotype A and Morphotype B) were found in sediments of the late Campanian Sydorove Formation and early Maastrichtian Konoplyanivka Formation of the northern part of the Donets Basin.\u0000Results. Chondrichthyes fishes are excluded from the list of potential producers of coprolites due to the absence of spiral grooves on the surface of a more wellpreserved coprolite and the spiral pattern on its transverse section.

For an objective geological and economic assessment of the possibility of simultaneous extraction of germanium from coal, waste and products of its processing and planning of the most effective organizational and technical measures in this regard, it is first of all necessary to have information about the nature of the distribution and the level of concentration of this element in coal and coal-bearing rocks. In order to obtain such information, the authors performed detailed studies of the distribution of germanium over the area and in the cross-section of the coal seam с4 of the Samarska mine field. The aim of the work is to research the features of the distribution of germanium in the с4 coal seam of the Samarska mine field.\u0000Data & Methods. Obtaining information about the distribution of chemical elements in geological objects is the first stage of research, which starts from the generalization of the actual material, through its theoretical understanding to the verification of the revealed regularities by research. Samples were personally selected by the authors from duplicate cores and in mining operations. Germanium content was determined  by quantitative emission spectral analysis. 10% of duplicate samples were sent to internal laboratory control. 12% of duplicate samples were subjected to external laboratory control. During the construction of maps, graphs and calculation of correlation coefficients, all values of germanium concentrations and technological parameters of coal were normalized to bring the sample to the same scale, regardless of the units of measurement and the scale of the samples.\u0000Results.\u0000During conducted research, it was revealed that abnormally high germanium content is observed only in the areas of the formation where there is a combination of two features of its structure: a general decrease in the thickness of coal seams and the presence of small and small-amplitude tectonic disturbances, zones of increased fracture in the northwest direction. The regional component of germanium content increases in the southeast direction, towards the Ukrainian crystalline shield, which indicates the direction of the location of the predominant source of wear. The Pearson correlation coefficient between germanium concentration and total reservoir capacity is –0.82, indicating a high inverse correlation between these parameters. The main scientific significance of the obtained results is in the establishment of the main features of the variability of germanium distribution in the coal seam and their genetic causes. The practical significance of the obtained results lies is the fact that the constructed maps are a factual basis for the long-term forecast of germanium concentrations in the mining mass extracted by the mine.
