Authors: Kalinichenko Zoia
Published: June 2022

Analysis of conceptual approaches to operational management of the enterprise in market competition and depending on the characteristics and stages of development determines that it is necessary to carefully perform all necessary management functions, attention to ensuring the achievements of forecasts, calculations using appropriate management technologies.
The purpose of the study is to prove the need for the formation and implementation of early warning and response in the enterprise as one of the ways to manage change in the enterprise. The set tasks relate to determining the place and role of the early warning and response system in the enterprise; development of methodological approaches to the introduction of an early warning system to identify signs of crisis; creation of a system of preventive response at the enterprise.
The methodology is determined by the applied system approach, methods analysis and synthesis; a schematic sequence of operational response measures and their information support has been developed.
Results. Using the results of research by domestic and foreign scientists, the development of a rapid response mechanism was continued, as a basis for the formation of principles, methods and tools for managing "weak signals" on the danger or signs of crisis. It is noted that crises are eliminated both in the normal mode of neutralizing destabilizing factors, and in preventive, when preventing the emergence of negatively affecting processes.
The study is based on the distinction between two approaches: the first is related to the identification of factors that cause the crisis; the second – with tracking changes, "weak signals", signs of uncertainty of future development.
Consideration of existing and development of methodological approaches to building the concept of operational management "on weak signals" was based on the study of the characteristic symptoms of the crisis and the establishment of relationships between risks and crises. The innovative scientific and theoretical essence of operational management tools "on weak signals" of enterprises is stated.
Conclusions. It all depends on timely and correct management decisions, and if the negative impact of external threats to the enterprise can not always be neutralized, then ensuring a crisis-free existence is entirely up to management and depends on timely response, ability to use methodological approaches, management technologies to prevent certain trends, to prevent signs and manifestations of the crisis in the enterprise.

Authors: Samoilovskyi Andrii
Published: June 2022

At present, Ukraine as a whole underestimates the possibilities of insurance as an influential tool for the development of the national economy. The potential of insurance, which is aimed at creating a market system of protection of property rights and interests of owners, maintaining socio-economic stability in society, is not used at full capacity. Insurance, as an integral part of the financial sector of the economy, accounts for a very small share in the structure of GDP.
Ukraine's entry into the system of world economic relations and restructuring of its economy on a market basis requires the development of insurance business in Ukraine. The author proceeds from the fact that the most effective step in solving these problems should be the state regulation of insurance activities in Ukraine.
Article main unresolved theoretical and practical issues of Government regulation insurance activities in Ukraine. It proposes ways and orientations of increasing the efficiency of insurance activities in Ukraine. Role of public institutions in formation and regulation of insurance market are investigated. Functioning of system of state regulation of insurance activities is analysed; ways and possibilities of its improvements are found. Peculiarities of official insurance policy are revealed. Main methods and instruments of state regulation of insurance activities are considered. Existing in world practice systems of organization of regulation and control over insurance activities are covered. Foreign experience of state regulation of insurance activities is evaluated in terms of possibilities of its adaptation to national economy of Ukraine under present conditions of its national insurance market. Moreover, is justifies that without continuing active role of the Government it is impossible to successfully resolve urgent issues of economic and social nature focused on the development of insurance activities, increasing its effectiveness and impact on the economy.

Published: June 2022

The current conditions of operation of Ukrainian enterprises are burdened by a number of negative trends that negatively affect the level of efficiency of their management and competitiveness, and therefore require appropriate research and development. The main purpose and main task of the article is to study the existing and develop an improved approach to a comprehensive integrated assessment of the competitiveness of the resource potential of an enterprise, taking into account today's features of its economic activity.
The article, based on the previously developed structure, proposes a multiplicative integrated indicator for assessing the competitiveness of the resource potential of the enterprise for individual components, which comprehensively takes into account all the aspects. For each component the number of the most significant partial indicators is determined with the corresponding calculation of normalized partial indicators of the respective component and coefficients of taking into account the impact (weight) of individual partial indicators on the effective integral value of the respective components of resource potential of an enterprise. Keeping this in mind, the quantitative values of indicators are estimated by comparing them with regulatory (recommended) values, or with the average ones in the industry, calculated on the basis of the data from leading companies in the field. Detailed formulas of calculations of the indicators characterizing each component of structure of resource potential of an enterprise according to the offered structure are resulted.
Using the data of financial statements, the calculation of quantitative values of the multiplicative integrated indicator of competitiveness of the resource potential of the enterprise is made.
Calculations of quantitative values of the complex integrated indicator of competitiveness of resource potential of an enterprise in the context of dynamics of intensity of markets of commodity products (pellets) of PJSC "Poltava GZK" are made according to the proposed formulas in the context of the criterion "marginal revenue – marginal costs" in retrospective of 2014-2020.
Based on the results of calculations there were built graphical interpretations of the dynamics of functional components in the integrated assessment of the adjusted level of competitiveness of resource potential of an enterprise, the dynamics of trends in the competitiveness of the resource potential of an enterprise on its effective integrated assessment and the dynamics of the complex integrated indicator of the level of competitiveness of the resource potential of an enterprise within the threshold limits for the data of PJSC "Poltava GZK".

Published: June 2022

Neodymium nickelate, NdNiO3 (NNO), with a perovskite structure shows resistance change of 1–2 orders owing to insulator–metal-transition (IMT) and metal–insulator-transition (MIT) at around 200 K and its IMT/MIT properties are affected by strain effects (Ni–O–Ni angular distribution). Since the resistance changes in the NNO system are considered to be dominated by competing nanoscale electronic phases, the reduction in sample size down to the individual domain scale could realize the direct investigation of single electric domains. In this study, 100 nm wide NNO nanowire structures were produced on NdGaO3(110) and LSAT(100) substrates, and the statistical IMT/MIT properties of electric domains under different strained structures were investigated. The nanowires showed prominent step resistance changes reflecting intrinsic first-order transition properties with different transition temperature distributions. A statistical transition model unveils the quantitative relationship between the IMT properties of the NNO nano-electronic phase and the strain effect due to the Ni–O–Ni angular distribution in NNO.

Published: June 2022

Spatial-division-multiplexing, as a promising way to enhance the fiber transmission capacity of optical networks, has been widely researched, and still suffers from the problem of device size increasing along with the space-mode order increasing. In order to solve this problem, an optical mode field compression method is needed, however, it is difficult to realize for traditional optical waveguide. To achieve a highly dense photonic integrated circuit for the transmission of higher order space-mode, a space-mode compressor using nano-pixel structure was proposed and investigated in this work. A supervised machine learning model using a deep neural network was used to design and optimize the space-mode compressor based on nano-pixel structure. As a simulated result, we achieved possible nano-pixel configurations for the purpose of mode-compression and there is a more than 50% size compression for the 0th and 1st order modes, as well as a 39.3% size compression for the 2nd and 35% for 3rd order modes.

Authors: Kasa Kevin , Burns David , Goldenberg Mitchell , Selim Omar , Whyne Cari , Hardisty Michael
Published: June 2022

This paper introduces a new dataset of a surgical knot-tying task, and a multi-modal deep learning model that achieves comparable performance to expert human raters on this skill  assessment task. Seventy-two surgical trainees and faculty were recruited for the knot-tying task, and were recorded using video, kinematic, and image data. Three expert human raters conducted the skills assessment using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS) Global Rating Scale (GRS). We also designed and developed three deep learning models: a ResNet-based image model, a ResNet-LSTM kinematic model, and a multi-modal model leveraging the image and timeseries kinematic data. Results: All three models demonstrate performance comparable to the expert human raters on most GRS domains. The multi-modal model demonstrates the best overall performance, as measured using the mean squared error (MSE) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). We found that multi-modal deep learning has the potential to replicate human raters on a challenging human-performed knot-tying task. As objective assessment of technical skill continues to be a growing, but resource-heavy, element of surgical education, this study is an important step towards automated surgical skill assessment, ultimately leading to reduced burden on training faculty and institutes.
Small Text Extraction from Documents and Chart Images
Authors: Busa Rominkumar , k. c. shahira , A. Lijiya
Published: June 2022

Text recognition is an important area in computer vision which deals with detecting and recognizing text from an image. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a saturated area these days and with very good text recognition accuracy. However the same OCR methods when applied to text with small font size like the text data of chart images, the recognition rate is less than 30%. In this work, Our aim is to extract small text in images using the deep learning model, CRNN with CTC loss. The text recognition accuracy is found to improve by applying image enhancement by super resolution prior to CRNN model. We observed that the text recognition rate increases by 24% by applying the proposed method, which involves super resolution and character segmentation using projection profile followed by CRNN with CTC loss. The efficiency of the proposed method shows that further pre-processing on chart image text and other small text images will improve the accuracy further, thereby helping text extraction from chart images.
Validation of Photovoltaic Spectral Effects Derived From Satellite-Based Solar Irradiance Products
Authors: Pelland Sophie , Gueymard Christian A.
Published: June 2022

The Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM-SAF) Spectral Resolved Irradiance (SRI) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory National Solar Radiation Database Spectral on Demand (NSRDB-S) satellite-based spectral irradiance products are tested here against benchmark data and models at seven ground stations: one in Spain for CM-SAF SRI and six in North America for NSRDB-S. Benchmarks include WISER spectroradiometers, spectra modeled from SolarSIM-G measurements and the SMARTS radiative code with two alternate input sources: AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) and the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis. The satellite products are tested in terms of their ability to estimate photovoltaic (PV) spectral effects for six PV module technologies. The spectra are also compared directly under clear-sky conditions. Both CM-SAF SRI and NSRDB-S outperform the simple benchmark of neglecting spectral effects in terms of predicting instantaneous spectral mismatch factors, but only CM-SAF SRI generally does better at predicting long-term spectral derate factors. The clear-sky results reveal systematic differences between NSRDB-S and benchmark spectra, likely due to the NSRDB-S treatment of aerosols. Meanwhile, the mean SMARTS spectra with AERONET and MERRA-2 inputs are in good agreement, showing promise for the use of MERRA-2 as input to clear-sky models.
Conditions of Existence and Uniqueness of Limit Cycle for Grid-connected VSC with PLL
Authors: Li Yujun
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the large disturbance stability of single voltage source converter (VSC) connected to the infinite bus system through the transmission line. One conservative stable region is obtained via the direct method of Lyapunov. Based on the Poincaré Theorem, it is interesting to find there might exist limit cycle between the obtained stable boundary and the angle of unstable equilibrium point (UEP). Accordingly, the nonlinear damping effect on the system stability is defined, and one limit cycle exists when the positive and negative damping effect over one period is mutually balanced. A conservative existence condition of limit cycle is further derived by constructing a proper piece-wise curve to approximate one specified unstable system trajectory. The derived analytical existence condition can directly predict the limit cycle without numerical simulations. Finally, the paper also proves that the studied dynamic system has at most one limit cycle, and if it exists, it is unstable. 
Direct Method of Lyapunov Applied to Synchronization Stability of VSC with PLL
Authors: Li Yujun
Published: June 2022

Synchronization stability of one single voltage source converter (VSC) connected to the infinite bus system via transmission lines is studied. Firstly, a second-order system model with damping is obtained under certain reasonable assumptions, which can be written as the classical Liénard system. Then, one Lyapunov function with larger analytical stable region than existing ones is constructed. Subsequently, an oscillatory instability phenomenon is firstly discovered and it is related to the system nonlinear damping. Based on Poincaré Theory, it is indicated that an unstable limit cycle exists between the derived stability boundary and the angle of unstable equilibrium point (UEP). Numerical results verifies the correctness of the proposed model and the effectiveness of the analysis method.

Authors: Matvienko Oksana , Tsyvin Michael
Published: June 2022

The relevance of the study is due to the contradiction between the common understanding of HR-manager as a profession belonging to the type "person — person", and a wide range of information-analytical tasks and functions of HR-manager in corporate and outsourcing. The revealed contradiction motivates to consider this profession as "the person — sign system" and needs the substantiation of preparation on a specialty "Information, library and archival business" as the expert of documentary and information profile.

The article substantiates the possibility and expediency of specialization of HR-manager in the specialty 029 in accordance with the tasks of information and analytical direction, which appear in the modern field of personnel management.

For the first time the article substantiates the compliance of professional tasks of HR-management specialists with the competence parameters of the specialty "Information, library and archival affairs" and the expediency of developing an interdisciplinary educational program for training HR-specialists within the specialty "Information, library and archival affairs".

It is concluded that the multifaceted and multidisciplinary activities of the HR specialist covers such subject areas as human resource management — information and analytical activities — documentary communications (documentation of personnel management), which form a generalized object of his activity.

Specialization in the field of HR-analytics in the specialty "Information, library and archival affairs" is adequate to the essence of the IBAS specialty, documentary-informational and social-communicative concepts of its theoretical and methodological bases, as well as methods, techniques and technologies used in the subject area. specialty 029, special (professional, subject) competencies, the content of which is defined by the Standard of Higher Education in the specialty "Information, library and archival affairs".
Mass media in the context of interaction between the state and civil society in the information sphere
Authors: Romanyuk Oleksandr , Kovalenko Iryna
Published: June 2022

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the role of governmental and non-governmental mass media in the functioning of public relations. The actuality of this theme is due to the problem of the formation of civil society in the new democracies. The aim of this publication is functional comparison of governmental and non-governmental mass media, and coverage of their functions in the context of interaction between the state and civil society. The methodology of this study is based on a comparative analysis of the social functionality of governmental and non-governmental media.

The authors distinguish the main differences between governmental and non-governmental media, which are the differences between their founders, forms of ownership, sources of funding, editorial control and the implementation of social functions. They note that governmental and non-governmental media perform the same social functions, the most important of which are informational, communication, adaptation, agitation, mobilization, integration, control. However, in governmental and non-governmental media, these functions have different connotations. Governmental media operate in the information space of the country from the standpoint of the state, while non-governmental ones operate from the standpoint of civil society. Instead, the activity of governmental media is aimed at civil society, and the activity of non-governmental media is aimed at the state. The main aim of governmental media activity is to form socio-political support for authorities. The most important tasks of the non-governmental media are to bring to the attention of the authorities the problems that concern civil society, to inform the government about the needs, interests and desires of citizens. The relationship between governmental and non-governmental media is determined by the nature of the political regime. The more democratic political regimes cause the greater role of non-governmental media in regulating of public relations.

The novelty of this work is that its authors try not to oppose the functions of governmental and non-governmental media, as was the case in previous publications on this topic, but to show the specifics implementation by them of the same functions. The practical significance of the work is due to the fact that it opens a new direction in the study of the problem of interaction of the media with the state and civil society.
Achievements of the Ukrainian government for 30 years of instability
Authors: Senchenko Mykola
Published: June 2022

The current state of science makes it possible to talk about the diversity, alternative, polyvalence of each new trend in social life. Those who insist on one or the other option ("democratic reforms have no alternatives") express their interest in a particular development scenario, attributing to their subjective aspirations the status of inviolable objectivity, while declaring the aspirations of others to evil and unreasonable arbitrariness. This is the approach we face today in the interpretation of events taking place in our country. I am far from thinking that the government is the enemy of the people. However, developments indicate that most political elites do not understand the global processes that are taking place. Therefore, my task is to print to provoke controversy. And I really want to make a mistake in assessing the processes taking place in our country.

Authors: Bodnarchuk Yuliia
Published: June 2022

The main components of the managerial-communicative model of public administration as a combination of different cultural traditions of Varyag soldiers and autochthonous Slavs are considered. The conditions of application and qualitative consequences of the use of the communication system for the centralization of the state and its effective development over a long period are outlined. The focus is on the historical component of political institutions that are included in the management model of communications of Kievan Rus.
The study summarizes the structure of managerial communication of the period of the early feudal state of KievanRus' as a special type of social communications; identifies typical features in the system of management communications of cultural traditions of peoples who were in direct interaction; the historically formed features of managerial communications are analyzed for the purpose of establishment of causal relations of qualitative functioning of the state of KievanRus'. The research methodology consists of the application of general scientific research methods (description, comparison, analogy, analysis, etc.), and also involves the use of a comparative-historical method, historically typological, historically chronological. The scientific novelty of the work is to study the combination of cultural traditions of agents of interaction in the political system of management communications of Kievan Rus', as an effective communication network that led to the long-term development of the medieval state in a polycentric and territorial branching.
Conclusions. The administrative and communicative network of KievanRus' formed a symbiosis of two administrative cultures of the Slavic and Norman ruling traditions. The interpenetration of cultures and the stable evolutionary development of the communication network have contributed to the quality of the state's existence for a long time.
The Third Ruin. The national idea of "who to lie to" and its consequences
Authors: Dergachоv Volodymyr
Published: June 2022

There is a phenomenon in Ukrainian history that is difficult to understand today without mentioning it. The ruins are periods of Ukrainian counter-reformation with internecine struggle for redistribution of property (Polish, Crimean Tatar, St. Petersburg, Soviet) with an emphasis on "multi-vector" foreign policy. In each Ruin, the tactical tasks of the struggle for power and the covert interests of the Ukrainian pseudo-elite dominated the strategic goals of statehood. Each of the Ruins showed the inability of the elite to offer the people consolidating goals, was accompanied by the government's refusal to rely on its own people, focus on external forces and ended in the loss of statehood. The paper considers the situation in Ukraine during the years of "independence".

Published: June 2022

Naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fractures are considered a challenge in reconstruction, due to the anatomical structures involved, such as the medial canthal ligament and the lacrimal apparatus [1], which leads to a complex functional and aesthetic compromise. For surgical access to the area, the use of the coronal, Lynch-Howarth, glabellar “open sky”, “gull wings” and a combination of the last two are described. However, the severity of the trauma and mainly the neurological compromise of the patient will dictate the choice of the approach that allows functional and comprehensive repair of the affected region. In cases where there is no neurological compromise and it is not necessary to carry out a subcranial approach, the use of local approaches is justified, providing adequate visibility and direct access to the fractured region, allowing an adequate reduction and placement of fixing material. A clinical case of anterior frontal sinus wall fracture and NOE fracture are presented, performing the combination of the gull-wing and open-sky approach, described as butterfly wings, achieving adequate visibility and reconstruction.
