The article dwells on the issue of foreign investment attraction to regions. The importance of foreign investment in regions’economy and the country in general is emphasized, the factors, which are decisive for investors in the analysis of region’s attractiveness, and factors that influence the level of to regions are examined, the mechanisms of foreign direct investment attraction are analyzed through the prism of cross-border cooperation forms. The European experience of foreign investment attraction is examined and statistical data for the recent years is provided. The level of foreign direct investment in four oblasts of Carpathian region is analyzed, the dynamics of foreign direct investment per capita in border regions is reviewed, and the reasons / preconditions of growth/fall of the rates are explained. The role of decentralization in attraction of foreign investors is shown and opportunities and algorithm of activities to be conducted by territorial communities to attract investors are described. The ways to increase investment capacity are analyzed. The role of crowd technologies in creation of region’s positive image and the role of territorial development agencies in region’s investment activity are shown and the ways they should work as well as the required resources are explained. Practical recommendations on improvement of region’s attractiveness for foreign investors are suggested. Keywords: investment potential, investment risk, investment attractiveness, investment environment, investment climate, investment resources

The prospects of technologies of directed en ergy action (DEA) are discussed. Classification of DEA-technologies is offered. The purpose of the wo rk is to give analysis of possibilities of DEA in food nanotechnologies. Combined processes of mass tr ansfer during the extraction and drying are con- sidered by methods of mathematical modeling. The physical model of combined processes in DEA- technologies is analyzed. The classification of hy drodynamic flow from the capillary structures of food raw materials is given. Conditions of upgrowth of laminar and turbulent barodiffusion are set. Problems of experimental modeling are grounded. A new number of similarities, the number of ener- getic action, is discussed. That number correctly ta kes into account the specific of combined processes of DEA-technologies. It has been shown that im pulse electromagnetic field is effective tool for realization DEA-technologies. Degree of intensification processes of mass transfer with application of barodiffusion and DEA-technologies can be by th e order greater than possibilities of traditional technologies.

Questions of the development of energetics in the world are examined. Specifics of the energy supply in agriculture are discussed and the basics of energy policy and strategy in crisis conditions are formulated. The methodology of power monitoring and basics of economy of power management are shown. Priorities at forma-tion of stages of projects implementation are proved. Ways of energy efficiency programs creation using partial projects self–financing mechanisms are shown.
