In this manuscript, we investigate the importance of renewable energy innovation for achieving inclusive and sustainable goals and the state’s energy security. Emphases in research are made on investigation the effect of regulatory policies and fiscal incentives on achieving renewable energy targets. Exploiting energy data for 28 European countries over the period 1990–2018, we assess the relationship between the volumes of renewable energy and energy efficiency. The statistical analysis we performed in Python. Our results indicate that the share of energy from renewable positively correlates with all energy efficiency indicators except energy productivity.

-The research is devoted to the problem of the assessment of the integrated projects investment efficiency, energy saving and energy efficiency measures for social and municipal buildings within the course aimed at the reduction of the natural gas consumption and its replacement by alternative fuel types, that is important for a number of European countries, and Ukraine in particular. The objectives of the research are as follows: comparative assessment of the quality of integrated and element-by-element approaches to energy saving encompassing investment, environmental, social and organizational aspects; the formulation of practical recommendations to improve the efficiency of development and implementation of integrated programs in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency. It is proposed to use the methodology of system analysis with the elements of deduction that is practical and that allows to set key factors that influence the processes of energy replacement and energy efficiency increase, as well as factors that constrain them.Keywords -Alternative fuel; energy efficiency of social objects; energy saving; financing of the energy efficiency projects

Purpose. The article is devoted to an analysis of the impact of innovative enterprises activity on ensuring the indicators of state economic security. The main emphasize was made on the innovative component analysis of the economic security in Ukraine. Place and role of stimulating innovative activity to achieve sustainable socioeconomic development and improve competitiveness of the economy is analyzed in the article. Methodology. In the article economic security of Ukraine analyzed by using two methodological approach: Methodological Recommendations on calculating the level of economic security of Ukraine, approved by the order of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine and the Global Competitiveness Index. Findings. The authors determined which sectors innovation activity can increase the growth rates of economic security and which state support methods should be used to maximize the growth of innovation activity. The conducted research made it possible to find out that the activation of innovation activity as a factor in the economic security formation of the state, which operates in developed countries, is not used properly in Ukraine. Such trends in innovation development of Ukraine are connected, first of all, with low (least critical) level of science funding by the state (primarily applied character, innovation and technology transfer) and low level of funding by economic entities themselves.

Nowadays, the climate change problems are on the international agenda, while increasing attention is paid to the role of green finance and bank activity in developing a climate-neutral future. This paper aims to investigate the scientific background devoted to bank marketing to determine the role of green finance in carbon-free economic growth and identify the potential research directions under this issue. The systematization of scientific publications presented in the Scopus database showed the growing tendency in publication activity concerning bank marketing and carbon-free economic growth. However, the scientific problem is a gap in studies devoted to investigating the role of financial marketing strategies in the bank sector for intensifying carbon-free economic growth. To gain the research goal, the authors conducted the bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer software tools. Methodological tools of the research were the method for visualizing similarities between keywords. This study operates with the scientific articles published in the journals indexed in the Scopus database. The research period is 2000-2020. The research theoretically proved that green finance is one of the main triggers of carbon-free development. The obtained results of the bibliometric analysis identified four main research directions concerning the investigated topic such as 1) financial marketing in sustainable development; 2) financial management in environmental protection; 3) carbon markets; 4) international regulation in emission trading. The authors determined the contribution of scientists in developing the investigated issues. Most productive journals were highlighted. The findings determined the pioneer countries in exploring the analyzed topic. The current study findings are limited by the articles presented only in the Scopus database. Therefore, future research should expand the study sample to compare the articles presented in other reliable scientific databases such as the Web of Science.

The motivation of medical workers is essential to society since the quality of their work affects the individual and public health. The authors highlighted the special role of state and municipal authorities in motivating medical professionals. The study aims to identify the main directions and elaborate the recommendations to build motivational management models in health care facilities. The study reveals the essence and objectives of personnel policy management in health care facilities. The main methods of motivating health workers were analyzed. The authors evaluated the impact of health reforms on health workers’ motivation. The study proposed several ways to improve the motivational management models. The authors conducted an in-depth analysis of economic and non-economic motivation in health care facilities. The methodological basis of the study is comparative analysis, the method of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction analysis, and synthesis. The practical implementation involved the online services Google Ngram Viewer and SciVal. The findings proved the need to develop the health care quality performances and their approval at the local level. The authors concluded that it is necessary to elaborate on a local program of employees’ motivation of utility non-profit enterprises to implement qualitative indicators. This program may include the mayor’s award, awards free internship programs, invitations to cultural events, symbolic gifts, etc. The obtained results showed that the health reform didn’t cover all activity areas of the health care institutions while the funding for medical care per one patient was insufficient. Therefore, the study emphasized the urgency to solve the above strategic problem in state and municipal management in Ukraine. The findings could be useful for the state and the municipal government of Ukraine in elaborating on motivation programs for health workers and their maintenance.
