Annotation: (Українська) Стаття присвячена дослідженню основних шляхів підвищення результативності у протидії фінансовому шахрайству в Україні. Проведено аналіз основних видів шахрайських схем, зокрема маніпуляції з фінансовими операціями, використання шкідливого програмного забезпечення, а також зловживання довірою. Також розглядаються сучасні методи шахрайства, зокрема використання новітніх технологій та криптовалют, що ускладнюють виявлення і боротьбу з такими злочинами. Розглянуто міжнародний досвід, зокрема співпрацю України з ЄС у межах програми EUAF, яка сприяє вдосконаленню механізмів боротьби з шахрайством за рахунок новітніх IT-інструментів та підвищення кваліфікації фахівців. Визначено ключові напрями підвищення результативності протидії фінансовим злочинам, серед яких удосконалення законодавства, формування ефективної політики інформаційної безпеки та розвиток міжнародної співпраці.

Annotation: Introduction. In modern market conditions, the effectiveness of marketing communications has become a decisive factor in the success of enterprises. Increasing competition and rapid changes in consumer preferences require companies to constantly improve their communication strategies. Evaluating the effectiveness of these measures helps not only to optimize costs but also to enhance audience engagement. This article proposes a systematic approach to analyzing marketing communications, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. Purpose. The aim of the study is to develop an effective methodology for assessing the performance of marketing communication strategies in enterprises. The primary focus is on combining financial metrics (ROI, CAC, CPC) with qualitative analysis methods, such as the NPS index and focus groups. Materials and Methods. To achieve the objective, a mixed methodological approach was employed, including:quantitative analysis, which allows for evaluating the economic efficiency of marketing activities;qualitative analysis, aimed at studying consumer reactions and loyalty. The research utilized scientific publications, practical case studies from enterprises, and results of customer surveys. Results. The study confirmed that combining quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods provides a comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of marketing communications. Calculations of key metrics such as ROI, CAC, and CPC demonstrated that channel efficiency significantly depends on the target audience and the nature of the campaigns. Qualitative methods, particularly the NPS index and focus groups, revealed that customer perceptions of the brand often do not align with the expected campaign outcomes, necessitating strategy adjustments. The integration of data from quantitative analysis and insights from qualitative research made it possible to develop recommendations for cost optimization and enhancing customer loyalty. Prospects. The findings of the study can serve as a basis for optimizing marketing communication expenditures and improving their efficiency. The implementation of automated analysis tools will enable enterprises to adapt more effectively to changes in the market environment.

Annotation: Fundamental Issues of Horizontal and Vertical Integration of Structural and Technological Solutions in the Context of the Complex Uncertainty of the Final Integrated Solution. Introduction. To ensure comprehensive protection of innovative technical ideas from uncontrolled borrowing and even copying, the non-obviousness of an idea for an average specialist in the technological field has immense significance in the context of an increasingly deepening globalization. This importance is further exacerbated by the specific and complex development of the idea and its gradual step-by-step transition from a pure idea to concrete interrelated technical solutions and their integrative penetration and technological diffusion from one technological field to other adjacent technological fields. A fundamental condition for such penetration is the shifting of boundaries between technological fields and the blurring of characteristics and properties of such boundaries. Purpose. As an example of the emergence and synthesis of this type of innovative idea, the author of this publication presents the development of an idea for contactless remote control and online monitoring of parameters and concentrations of technological solutions. The principle of the sensor-capsule design and the algorithm for its application are detailed, leading to the serial production of such sensor-capsules and their large-scale use in modern complex high-tech manufacturing, as well as in biological technologies, medicine, and agriculture. Materials and methods. At this point, the author finds it necessary to take a brief detour to analyze both macro and micro variants in the development and application of these technologies, considering the specifics of their use in various scales of application and the different conditions under which they are applied in modern smart manufacturing environments.
