Hurricanes are one of the most significant causes of human and material losses in the Caribbean region. These events have demonstrated their devastating impact on housing and infrastructure. The assessment of the vulnerability of buildings with light roofs, at the initial design stage, is considered to be a fundamental step in the mitigation of these damages and losses. This paper presents the introduction of an indicator-based vulnerability assessment in an effort to mitigate these damages in advance. This indicator facilitates the design team's decision to select the appropriate light roof alternative subject to strong winds at the conceptual stage of the process. The indicators that contribute to the conceptual assessment of vulnerability were identified based on a comprehensive review of the literature and numerical simulations of the risk scenarios using CFD/FEM software’s. The ranking of indicator weights was determined by the Kano method according to experts' opinions. A desktop application has been developed for the assessment of the vulnerability of light roof variants for buildings at the conceptual design stage. The results reported in a case study demonstrate the viability of the desktop application based on the vulnerability indicator to assist decision making in the conceptual design stage.

Development of modern theoretical and methodological approaches and practical recommendations, which would take into account the specifics of the functioning of the financial system of Ukraine in general and its key elements under conditions of formation of a democratic society, macro-financial instability and geopolitical challenges, may ensure the financial security of joint-stock companies in the context of adapting them to the current realities of financial and economic activities. This paper analyzes the financial security risks of joint-stock companies by their individual components, which are manifested in the decrease or increase of the values of the respective indicators relative to the optimal ones, established by the questionnaire, and identified risk-forming factors. The emphasis is placed on the need to evaluate the extent of the impact of comprehensive restraining and stimulating financial risk to reflect the efficiency of formation and use of financial resources of joint-stock companies. Despite this, the need to determine the integrated financial risk, which shows the magnitude of the reduction of the desired level of financial security for a certain period, is justified. Developed and tested complex methodological approach for the analysis of financial risks of joint-stock companies under the uncertain conditions and lack of statistical data for analysis, is a symbiosis of normative and fundamental approaches and substantiated by the synthesis of statistical, expert methods of scientific research and basic provisions of fuzzy logic theory. Using this approach allows us to identify and clearly visualize the scope of risk, to assess the extent of the impact of particular risk factors in a specific period and to determine the integral amount of risk, which allows to calculate the degree of reduction of financial security of joint-stock companies over a period of time.
