The results of experimental studies of the kinetics of filtration drying of disperse materials of different structural structure and dispersible composition are presented in the paper, as well as the dynamics of saturation of the waste heat agent with moisture during the filtration drying of materials at different height of layer of the last ones. On the basis of the generalization of research results, optimal parameters for the implementation of filtration drying were determined, and the economic effect from the introduction of filtration drying into production, per 1000 kg of dry material, was calculated.

The problem of permanent and prolonged pollution of soils by various kinds of pollutants, in particular heavy metals, was analyzed. Experimental investigations of penetration of copper sulfate into a vertical soil profile have been carried out. The adsorption capacity of the sandy environment of copper sulfate was experimentally determined.

The article focuses on the fact that academic integrity is one of the elements of the internal quality assurance system in higher education institutions (hereinafter referred to as HEI). The essence of the concept "academic integrity" is revealed. The importance of the HEI management task -the introduction of the academic integrity principles in the educational environment at a non-formal level is substantiated. The modern academic environment must not only be ethically institutionalized but also have well-established ethical infrastructure and tools for ethically influencing those who commit unethical acts. The paper systematizes the basic principles and defines the benefits to adhere to the academic integrity of higher education applicants and lecturers.

Globalization processes create a number of serious internal and external challenges for academic integrity which should not be solved in the framework of one country. Ensuring the effective operation of such a space is not possible without the integration of all its elements, including scientific ones, into a single system. The scientific integration in the European Union is fueled by the functioning of single scientific space of the European Research Area. Such system has already become an effective mechanism to overcome issued which relevant to academic integrity. However, the question is how effective this system is for countries that have recently joined the EU. Among such countries, we have chosen Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, since they are all ex-members of the Warsaw Pact, and thus have approximately similar problems in the academic c ommunity. The analyses was conducted using the dataset from scientific data base Scopus for two periods 1995 - 2003 and 2004 - 2017. The findigs proved the number of publications in Latvia, Poland, and Slovakia indexed by Scopus were increased after EU integration. Besides, most of the publication analysed the issued which connected with academic integrity in research. At the same time, the citation of the scientists also increased. The findigs proved, that the impact from scientific integration into a single European scientific space exists, but its significance is negligible.

Implementing the reforms among the Eastern and Central European countries, even taking into account the possible differences between them, demonstrates the positive movement into decreasing the corruption level. However, the majority of civil society lowly perceive the positive reforms' effects. Moreover, the state of democratization and market economy couldn't be estimated highly because of the political conflicts, economic crises, corruption and non-transparency of internal privatization. In view of the abovementioned, this study is aimed to theoretically investigate the value of the Index of Public Integrity (IPI) in the fight against corruption. The author indicated, that IPI was considered to be a new approach to investigate the level of anti-corruption reforms in different countries. Nowadays, the comprehensive picture of the corruption control in 117 countries are introduced. It should be noticed, that global corruption could be overcome by the common efforts on the international level. Thus, IPI allows comparing similar countries by the regions or income in order to implement the best practices of anti-corruption management. In view of this, the authors emphasized that IPI used to estimate the effects of implementing reforms in order to improve the ones as well as decrease the level of corruption in the countries. Thus, in the frame of this article, the IPI from 2015 to 2019 of the Visegrad countries were considered on the base of six following components of IPI such as: judicial independence, administrative burden, trade openness, budget transparency, e-citizenship as well as freedom of the press. The authors indicated that an effective strategy of anticorruption management demands the collaboration of the government, the business sector, civil society as well as scientific communities in order to develop, realize and estimate the anti-corruption strategies and policy. Moreover, it has been indicated that there was a gap between the corruption theory and practice. In the wake of this, the obtained results in this study could be considered in the scientific society for future investigation in the field of anticorruption management.

Purpose. To determine the level of students' interest in internal quality assurance, particularly in passing the survey and changing the teaching quality level and improving teachers' pedagogical skills. Methodology. For the data collection, a questionnaire was used which included closed-end questions on the quality of teaching and open questions in terms of comments and recommendations of higher education students on the quality of teaching and several questions concerning the share of classes in the discipline attended by the students, ECTS scores, received by students from the relevant disciplines and the average score for the entire period of study. Findings. Sumy State University (SSU) introduced an online survey of students as the main consumers of educational services regarding the quality of teaching disciplines. Over the last 3 academic years, there has been an increase in the number of teachers whose activities are evaluated by students. There has been an increase in the number of teachers who, according to students, show excellence in teaching, which is a positive trend. If in the 2017 - 2018 academic year the number of such teachers in SSU was 57 people, then in the 2019 - 2020 academic year, it increased by 35 % to 77 people. Quality level "Above average" was determined for 120 teachers in the 2017 - 2018 academic year, and in the 2019 - 2020 academic year, their number increased by 30 % and amounted to 156 people. It is noteworthy that in the 2019 - 2020 academic year compared to 2017 - 2018, there is a reduction in the number of teachers from 71 to 66 people (7 %), who demonstrated the level of teaching "Low". Originality. Survey of students on the quality of teaching educational components, on the one hand, allows monitoring students' satisfaction with methods used by the teacher in training and communicating with students, and on the other hand, it is a method to control the institution's authority over the educational service quality and the HEI's mission implementation. It also indicates an increase in students' interest in participating in higher education's internal quality assurance. An important factor influencing the positive dynamics of the teaching quality level is that each semester teachers receive a detailed analysis of students' answers with a visual display for each questionnaire, as well as their comments and suggestions for teaching the relevant discipline through the information service "Personal teacher's office" based on the results of the survey. Practical value. According to the analysis results of the received information, managerial decisions can be developed and implemented to improve the content and practice of educational components' implementation, improving the professional skills of research and teaching staff, advancement of best pedagogical practices.
