In these conditions organizations must use innovative approaches and technologies to solve the tasks, as well as constantly reflect on their own activities, look for perspective strategies for its development. Purpose: To determine strategies for the activities of social agencies in Ukraine under martial law. Methods: To achieve the goal, the methods of theoretical analysis, as well as the methodology of qualitative analysis of empirical data, were used. The semi-standardized interview method was used as the main method of data collection. Also, to analyze the strategic position of social agencies in Ukraine and develop strategic options, strategic planning methods were used, in particular, the SWOT analysis method and the TOWS matrix. Results: It is provided an overview of the results of a survey of managers and leading specialists of social agencies in Kharkiv city and some regions of Ukraine, which was conducted in November 2022 as part of the research work on the topic \"Actual trends in the management of social agencies\" of the Department of Sociology of Management and Social Work of the Sociology School of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University with the participation of students of the 4th year who are studying in the specialty Social work. Within the framework of the study, respondents were asked to answer 4 classic SWOT-analysis questions: to name the internal features of the organization that significantly contribute to its activity, as well as those that significantly hinder its activity; to name the external conditions that can significantly contribute to the development of the organization's activity, as well as those that can significantly threaten its activity. Conclusions: Based on the use of generalized information about the strategic position of organizations, which was obtained as a result of the SWOT analysis, the TOWS matrix was applied, which made it possible to generate and characterize four possible strategies for the development of social agencies in Ukraine. Two of them are focused on using existing opportunities or overcoming threats that exist in the external environment, based on their strengths. The other two strategies are aimed at getting rid of their weaknesses or reducing their impact on the organization's activities. The article also concludes that the choice of one or another strategic option is directly determined by the specifics of the internal and external environment of a particular organization and may become the subject of further research. Keywords: social agency, strategic planning, strategy, SWOT analysis, TOWS matrix.","PeriodicalId":63726,"journal":{"name":"社会工作与社会福利(英文)","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73080610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After joining the EU, Poland was able to use structural funds to modernize the social and economic sphere and change the paradigm of development of local communities. Ukraine has a chance to become a member of the European Union. This will give Ukraine the opportunity to use the support of European donors for the purpose of post-war reconstruction and to reform the system of social assistance. Purpose: Determine the main directions of using EU structural funds and the role of project management in obtaining and using structural funds. Methods: Statistical data from official sources of Poland and the European Commission were used for the analysis. The findings are relevant to the management of the social sphere, human resource management, and change management in organizations. Results: EU structural funds are an important tool of economic and social policy. Project management is an integral part of the process of receiving and using financial support from structural funds. There are three groups of the beneficiaries, state institutions of the social sphere, private enterprises, and non-governmental organizations. Conclusion: The project manager must always be well prepared for this activity. He must also understand the specifics of the cohesion policy of the European Union. Polish experience in these matters can help Ukraine on the way to reforming the sphere of social protection.

Methods: The theoretical method of research was to analyze the documents used to study the works of scientists who researched the social nature of emotions: on the one hand, they are the results of social processes that require sociological explanation; on the other, they function as causes of the social processes, necessary to explain the very principles of social behavior. Conclusion: In the social workers professional activities, emotions are important. Due to the activities specifics, professionals are often required to imitate certain emotions (perform emotion work). At the same time, social work involves the implementation of including emotional labor, which is based on deep action (according to the classification of A.R.

Results: The analysis of scientific literature and research data confirmed our hypothesis about the active dynamics of the issue of integration of internally displaced persons. It was determined that there are a number of barriers in the integration process. Some people integrate temporarily. Conclusion: The analysis of the problem shows the active coordinated work of the government and ministries, the presence of certain legislative problems, as well as unresolved infrastructure issues. At the local level and in communities, there are not always enough resources to solve urgent problems.

Population migration can manifest itself in such forms as nomadism, pilgrimage, wanderings, urbanization, ruralization, etc. Population migrations have a long history, but are relatively little studied. In Western Europe and North America, population migration became the object of sociological research only from the middle of the 19th century. Interest in the study of population migration has become relevant due to the needs of studying the adaptation of immigrants in host countries and studying the consequences of mass emigration of the working population from donor countries. Purpose: To carry out a systematization and comparative analysis of the main approaches to the study of migration in sociology and other socio-humanitarian disciplines. Methods: The work uses a number of general scientific and special sociological methods: logicalsemantic - for analyzing and deepening the conceptual apparatus of the concept of external migration; comparative analysis of the results of statistical and specifically sociological studies of migration. Results: A significant increase in the scale and intensity of international population migration at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century led to the interest of Ukrainian sociologists in the issue of migration. The theoretical and methodological approaches of Western researchers echo the approaches of post-Soviet scientists, in particular, in the recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of population migration studies. Thus, there are six sociological approaches to the study of migration. At the same time, V. Iontsev noted that to the sociological approach \"it would be possible to add the classification of migration flows according to vertical and horizontal characteristics and the theory of \"rational expectations\". Conclusion: Within the scope of the comprehensive study, a broad classification of approaches to the study of migration was presented. V. Iontsev's classification included 17 scientific approaches to the study of population migration, which, in turn, united 45 scientific directions, were classified as: the concept of \"attraction - repulsion\" by E. Lee (E. Lee); ethnosociological approach K. Davis (K. Davis), Y. Harutyunyan; the theory of \"migration chain\" D. Gurac (D. Gurac), F. Caces (F. Caces), D. Massey (D. Massey), A. Simmons (A. Simmons); the cultural approach of H. Esse, J. Rex, J. Bustamante; assimilation theory of H. Werner (H. Werner), M. Gordon (M. Gordon); sociological theory of migration (sociology of migration) by T.

This has led to an increase in the number of volunteer organizations helping the military. The social demand and the needs they respond to set high expectations for volunteers. In such circumstances, volunteer organizations must pay special attention to the organization of volunteer activities. The question arises: how do volunteer organizations working to help the military cope with the risks and challenges that have arisen in connection with a full-scale war? The lack of qualitative knowledge about how they organize activities, engage volunteers, and keep them motivated, what are the peculiarities of communication and evaluation of their work, etc. determines the applied significance of the study, the results of which are reflected in the abstracts. Objective: To find out the peculiarities of management of volunteer organizations in the field of assistance to the military in war and to identify ways to strengthen their organizational capacity. Methods: The research was qualitative in nature. The theoretical method of the study was to analyze documents on the topic of volunteer management. The main method of empirical research was a structured interview with representatives of volunteer organizations working to help the military, aimed at studying: the content of volunteers' work, the risks of working in war, the difficulties of conducting activities, the peculiarities of volunteer management, assessment of the organization's capacity and ways to strengthen it. To process the results, we analyzed and compared the content of the respondents' answers. Results: Volunteer organizations working to help the military are different from others and have their own special internal organization. During the war, they faced a number of challenges, the answer to which is determined by the specifics of volunteer management of different types of organizations. The article reveals differences in the work of old (those that functioned before the full- scale invasion) and newly created volunteer organizations. The key factors that weaken the capacity of a volunteer organization include internal (misconceptions about management, in particular, about engaging volunteers in work, organizing their activities and motivation, ignoring the risks of burnout, insufficient communication with former volunteers, etc.) and external (decline in active involvement of volunteers, people's distrust of the organization and the organization – of the state authorities, legal insecurity of volunteers, funding risks, chronic stress). Conclusion: Since the outbreak of full-scale war, the activities of organizations that help the military have changed dramatically, and these changes can be recorded in a certain sequence: 1) a new stage of development; 2) a decline in activ","PeriodicalId":63726,"journal":{"name":"社会工作与社会福利(英文)","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83779313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such actions often have serious consequences for the national security and stability of countries, including those at war. Purpose: To establish how cyberbullying was formed as a means of information warfare in Ukraine. Methods: Method of analysis, theoretical method of research was to analyze the documents used to study the work of scientists who studied cyberbullying and its types. Results: Digital aggression, such as cyberbullying, can take many different forms, such as abusive communications, the dissemination of false information, extortion, etc. The following manipulative technologies are included in cyberbullying: flaming, trolling, threats and intimidation, cancellations, etc. Understanding cyberbullying as an Internet technology used in information warfare can be done by studying it from a constructivist perspective. Cyberbullying is seen through the lens of online engagement and from the perspective of how it is felt and interpreted by the individuals involved. Conclusion: The use of cyberbullying and other cybertools in information warfare is now accepted as the standard.
