TEACHING CHINESE IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF UKRAINE: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: JINGTAO Z.
Published: October 2024

The article monitors key trends in Chinese language teaching and learning in various universities of Ukraine, which will allow a deeper understanding of existing problems and take measures to solve them. It is clarified how the legislation of Ukraine creates the necessary regulatory and legal conditions for studying foreign languages, including Chinese, in educational institutions (including higher education institutions).
The results of the surveys, as well as the experience of teaching work and work in focus groups, show that many Ukrainian students of education show a desire to learn Chinese (either during classroom time, or simultaneously during classroom and extracurricular time), and the vast majority of students would like to learn Chinese with native speakers. From an economic point of view, this is a factor in the demand for a certain educational service (Chinese language teaching). On the other hand, the vast majority of higher education institutions in Ukraine cannot offer such an educational service as Chinese language teaching in the current conditions.
Сurrently Ukrainian institutions of higher education do not have sufficient organizational and economic resources to start the latest educational programs, as well as to expand existing educational programs, including in the part of extensive teaching of the Chinese language, even despite the presence of demand from students (consumers of educational services ). After all, the organization of learning any foreign language, in particular Chinese, is a complex process that must be provided with specialized equipment, qualified personnel, educational and methodical literature.
Chinese specialized organizations, including the Confucius Institutes, will continue to make efforts to provide practical assistance to Ukrainian higher education institutions in terms of stimulating the teaching of the Chinese language, as well as improving the quality of such teaching. Moreover, this work will be carried out in various sectors, including among institutions of higher education, which:
- Chinese is taught as the main foreign language;
- Chinese is taught as an additional language;
- do not teach Chinese, but intend to start teaching Chinese.
For example, the Confucius Institute of the Kyiv National Linguistic University is currently developing additional tools for collecting relevant information, as well as conducting consultations with the heads of higher education institutions that have expressed a desire to organize Chinese language teaching.
The main emphasis of our analysis is aimed at continuing the study of the problems and difficulties of organizing the teaching and learning of the Chinese language in Ukraine, as well as the reasons for the lack of Chinese language teaching.

Authors: Tinikashvili T. Sh. , Fedosimov B. A.
Published: October 2024

The efficiency of the taxation system largely influences the economic development of any state. This article examines the problem of reforming the modern taxation system in the Russian Federation in view of the problems and shortcomings it has. The authors, based on an analysis of statistical data and materials from consulting agencies, has established that the tax burden on the economy in the Russian Federation exceeds the world average, as well as the indicators of most of the closest economic partner countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union. In addition, the modern taxation system in the Russian Federation imposes a significant tax burden on business, which hinders its progressive development in the medium and long term. Also, the modernization of the Russian taxation system is also necessary due to the construction of a digital economy, which requires automation of tax withholdings and effective control over tax accruals. It is concluded that the current Russian taxation system requires its optimization by reducing individual taxes and introducing a single tax on turnover and consumption, which will reduce individual taxes and replace them with a single tax that could be effectively used as part of the development of the digital economy.

Authors: Yakimova V. A. , Pankova S. V.
Published: October 2024

In the context of digitalization, it is becoming relevant to search for approaches to the choice of management strategies for business structures of regional importance. The purpose of the study is to analyze the implementation of approaches to managing entrepreneurial ecosystems in the regions of Russia using the example of a sample of 200 ecosystems and to determine the choice of management strategies in the implementation of the digital transition. As a result, we propose criteria for identifying applied strategies in ecosystems, which determine the specific features of their implementation, in 16 areas. The share of ecosystems implementing digital platforms and technologies ranges from 7 to 37 % in groups of various sizes. We have found that most ecosystems in the context of digitalization choose a strategy to create a favorable environment for the development of projects and enterprises in combination with other strategies. We have identified the features of the digital transition for small ecosystems (the use of consulting and cooperation in the field of communications); for medium-sized ecosystems – the use of digital modules in value chains and full-fledged cooperation with manufacturers of digital products; In large ecosystems, there is a need for exclusive digital products aimed at maintaining the functioning of the entire ecosystem as a whole.

Authors: Kurenkov A. L.
Published: October 2024

Digital transformation is a tool for strategic management and is designed to rebuild an enterprise from its product line to entire production and supply chain modernization in order to maintain and increase its competitiveness in a constantly changing business environment. At the same time, effective approaches, management methods and determination of digital transformation effectiveness have not been developed. In this article, an attempt was made to propose a method, as well as to select and adapt a mathematical apparatus for accounting the business environment influences on product line effectiveness, and therefore on digital transformation effectiveness of commercial enterprises in general. The scientific novelty of the proposed method lies in the application of new principles for taking into account factors of changes in the business environment and their mutual influence, as well as in approaches to calculating the forecast of their condition and development. The practical value of the proposed method is that it allows a commercial enterprise to quickly obtain an assessment of the factors, forecast their changes, and forecast the effectiveness of the product line (and therefore the overall effectiveness of the commercial company).

Method of calculating stationary probability distribution in Markov chain in modeling social and economic processes
Authors: Kuligin E. V.
Published: October 2024

This article proposes an algorithm for calculating the vector of the stationary probability distribution for the Markov chain. Markov chains are effective for modeling complex systems in dynamics, including socio-economic processes, since instead of deterministic equations and dependencies, various scenarios are taken into account. At the same time, with an increase in the number of options, the complexity of solving the problem of finding a stationary probability distribution increases sharply. The idea of the algorithm is to replace the problem of solving the characteristic equation of the n-th degree for the matrix of probability transitions with the problem of linear programming. The mathematical formulation of the problem is formulated, including the definition of independent variables, finding the type of objective function, restrictions in the form of equalities. To perform calculations, a program was created in the algorithmic language Python. In order to verify and prove its effectiveness, calculations were carried out both for typical tasks of a general nature and for specific socio-economic cases. The obtained results completely coincided with the test ones and showed that the complexity of the algorithm is O(n). The developed technique allows wider application of Markov in the study of socio-economic processes and obtain more reliable results due to an increase in the number of probabilistic states of the system.
The influence of the principles of the ESG agenda and the corporate features of the functioning of hospitality enterprises on the use of fixed assets
Authors: Matushevskaya E. A. , Zhigaltsova Ju. A.
Published: October 2024

In modern conditions, the concept of sustainable economic development is effectively implemented through the processes of introducing ESG principles into the activities of enterprises in various industries. The hospitality industry is currently poorly engaged in the ESG transformation process. This is evidenced by the absence of companies from the hotel and restaurant business in ESG ratings. Modern realities require hospitality industry enterprises to reorient their activities in accordance with the principles of ESG transformation. ESG principles can be actively introduced into the cycle of use of fixed assets: from capital investment objects to liquidation objects. Fixed assets play a key role in the operations of hospitality businesses. Consumer demand for the company’s services depends on their volume, technical condition, as well as appearance. Corporate culture and the ESG agenda in modern conditions have a huge impact both on the entire resort and recreational industry of the country, and on the use of fixed assets within the industry. The purpose of this work is to assess the impact of corporate culture and the ESG agenda on the business activity of hospitality enterprises and the use of fixed assets. The ESG transformation of resort and recreational enterprises can be aimed at protecting the hospitality industry as a whole, as well as in the state economy, from risks that may arise due to conditions of uncertainty. The implementation of ESG transformation will contribute to the formation of a positive image, increasing the operating efficiency and competitiveness of entities in the hospitality sector.
Approaches to accounting for deferred tax assets recognized in respect of tax losses
Authors: Aksentyev A. A.
Published: October 2024

This paper considers approaches to accounting for tax losses. It is determined that the accounting methodology depends on the way they are utilised. Tax losses claimed as a refund (Loss Carry-Back) represent a financial claim to the state, therefore they are qualified as an asset (receivable) within the current tax component. Losses claimed as a deduction (Loss Carry-Forward) qualify as a deferred tax asset in the deferred component. Three approaches to accounting for tax losses attributable to deferred taxes are characterised: conservative, mixed and positive. It is established that in the concept of temporary differences the economic benefit from the resulting tax loss is identified in relation to its tax base; in turn, in the concept of temporary (term) differences the tax effect is part of the «difference» between the accounting and tax result. It is concluded that the Russian Accounting Standard (PBU) 18/02 «Accounting for corporate income tax calculations» has the following shortcomings: tax losses are incorrectly classified, and the methodology of their accounting is not defined due to the distorted base of tax effects distribution. The results of this work may serve as a basis for improving national accounting standards.

The research emphasizes the antiutopian dominant of “The Time” trilogy, which is combined with certain features of a political novel, cautionary novel, fiction (elements of science fiction), adventure novel, detective story, etc. It was found out that in his antiutopias Yu. Shcherbak creates his own model of the character of the future, whose leadership qualities, life experience and orientation to traditional Ukrainian values enabled spiritual renewal, contributed to finding one’s place in the world and helped to become a winner in the eternal conflict “man-system”. It was determined that the problem-thematic level of the novels is understood through the disclosure of the inner world of the main character with the help of monologues, dialogues, reflections, etc. In the trilogy, the “eternal” philosophical and topical problems of today are actualized.
Multiple worlds of the literary text: features of linguistic research
Authors: Ilina Olena
Published: October 2024

The concept of multiple worlds in literary texts is a fascinating area of linguistic research, interwoven with questions of linguistic identity, national identity, culture, and mentality. This study aims to delineate the content, structure, and linguistic features of the expression of multiple worlds in literary texts. The term "literary multiverse" is introduced to more accurately conceptualize the idea of multiple worlds. The research identifies several distinct worlds within a literary work, including the author’s world, the character’s world, the recipient’s world, the immediate world, and the unreal world. The characteristics of each of these worlds are defined, and a methodology for analyzing them is proposed. This study contributes to the field of linguistics by providing a comprehensive framework for understanding and analyzing the concept of multiple worlds in literary texts. It also offers insights into the linguistic and cognitive mechanisms involved in the creation and interpretation of these worlds. The primary research methods include textual analysis, symbolic interpretation, and the study of cognitive processes related to the perception of literature.

The results of this study provide a framework for understanding the concept of a literary multiverse, proposing that an author's work consists of multiple distinct worlds. Each of these worlds has its own unique characteristics and requires a tailored methodology for analysis. The study highlights the importance of considering both internal and external references within a literary text, emphasizing the active role of the reader in interpreting and reshaping the fictional world. This research advances the theoretical understanding of how different worlds within a literary text function and interact with each other.

Authors: Orel Yurii , Kulinich Oleg , Korniievskyi Serhii , Serohina Svitlana , Gryshko Liliya
Published: October 2024

Decentralization, the transfer of power and resources from central to local governments, has been a key outcome of Ukraine's administrative reform. At the same time, many processes were implemented based on the experience of European countries, which emphasised Ukraine's European integration aspirations. This article examines the achievements and challenges of decentralization, particularly in the context of post-war reconstruction. Through content analysis of relevant literature, the study finds that newly formed territorial communities have gained greater financial autonomy and decision-making power, fostering local development initiatives. However, legislative gaps, lack of experience, and coordination challenges with regional authorities persist. The study concludes that aligning with European decentralization models and adapting legislation accordingly are crucial for Ukraine's regional development and successful post-war recovery. It emphasizes the need for further research on the interplay between decentralization and regional socioeconomic progress, especially considering the unique context of ongoing conflict. In conclusion, it is substantiated that adherence to the European vector of development and approximation of domestic legislation to the best European standards is the key to the success of the country as a whole and the formation of strong, economically viable regions.

Authors: Afrasiabi Mahlagha , Movahedi Ahmad
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible neurological condition characterized by cognitive, behavioral, and memory impairments. Early prediction before the transition from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease is still a challenging issue. This study aimed to identify factors associated with Alzheimer's disease. Method: This study proposes a framework for predicting Alzheimer's disease using data collected from the OASIS project, made available by the Washington University Research Center. In this study, a deep neural network was used for prediction. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was employed for selecting appropriate features. The combination of these two methods increases the accuracy of the proposed prediction method. Results: The results indicate that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy with fewer features. Among the 11 features in this dataset, six features (age, socioeconomic status, Mini -mental state examination score, clinical dementia rating scale, estimated total intracranial volume, and normalized whole -brain volume) have a significant impact on predicting the disease. Among these six features, the clinical dementia rating scale is of great importance. Conclusion: This study investigated the influential factors and prediction of Alzheimer's disease. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease allows for the provision of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic services, as well as an improvement in patients' quality of life. The proposed method in this study is compared with various machine learning algorithms that have shown good accuracy in predicting Alzheimer's disease. The results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed method is higher with fewer features.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, TIKHOMIROV N.V.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of mass newspaper printing in the USSR in the context of source criticism. The position of Soviet press of the 1920s - 1930s as a source reflecting the phenomena and events of everyday reality is substantiated. The main attention is focused on the study of notes of workers and peasant correspondents, as well as letters of Soviet citizens in the editorial offices of province, regional and district newspapers. The possibilities of attracting materials of socio-political press to study private issues of everyday life of the Soviet population are revealed. The work is aimed at filling the theoretical gap existing in the field of scientific evaluation of the information potential and heuristic capabilities of the Soviet newspaper periodicals as a historical source. The proposed conclusions expand the scientific understanding of the cognitive significance of large-scale printing for research practice. The results obtained can be used in further work on clarifying the classification of written sources of contemporary Russian history, as well as in constructing theoretical justification for studies of early Soviet everyday life based on the mass press as a source of information.

On the basis of materials introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the issue of specialized services for employees of domestic railway transport in the middle of the 20th century is investigated. It is noted that being an important component of Soviet trade, departmental stores that served railway workers had disadvantages common to the whole industry. Such an important problem in the organization of departmental trade in transport as ensuring the safety of inventory is analyzed. Attention is drawn to the fact that improving customer service culture has always remained in the focus of attention of the Main Directorate of Labor Supply of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. The positive experience of the Vologda branch of the Northern Railway is considered, where in 1954 a trade train was organized to serve railway workers who lived on the line. The shortcomings in the trade service of the contingents of special formations and transport builders during the period under review are analyzed. Archival documents revealed the positive experience of organizing departmental trade and working supplies for railway employees, which, undoubtedly, can be used at the present time.

The article deals with topical issues of the organization of the daily work of hospitals operating on the Central Front in 1943. The material is prepared on the basis of documentary sources introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, identified by the author in the Archive of Military Medical Documents - branch of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Despite the presence of numerous publications devoted to the provision of medical care to wounded and sick servicemen, the stated topic remains insufficiently developed due to the limited access of researchers to archival documents of military medical institutions specific in composition and content. Using specific examples of the frontline daily life of individual hospitals of the Central Front, the article reveals such aspects of the organization of their activities as relocation and deployment of hospital base in extreme conditions, the state of human resources, solving problems of material security, reception, maintenance and evacuation of wounded soldiers. The successful solution of these tasks made a significant contribution to maintaining the combat capability of the troops on the eve and during the Battle of Kursk and other decisive battles of the Great Patriotic War. The considered experience of hospitals is in demand in modern conditions from the standpoint of scientific and theoretical generalization and practical application.

Field experiment was conducted during the dry season of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 at the Maida village, Garko Local Government Area of Kano State within latitude 120 58’ N and longitude 80 25’E at an altitude of 458m, situated in Sudan Savanna Agro-ecological zone of Nigeria, to study the productivity of Carrot (Daucus carota L.) varieties as affected by gibberellic acid and water management strategy. Four (4) irrigation regimes (I1 Farmer practice: 5 days at early vegetative stage, 7 days at juvenile to pre-flowering stage and 9 days at post-flowering to maturity stage) I2 All irrigation at 5 days interval, I3 All irrigation at 7 days interval, I4 All irrigation at 9 days interval as control) was used as main-plot treatment, Two (2) Varieties (V1 improved and V2 farmers variety) was used as sub plot, and four application period of GA3 (G1: 100 ppm at vegetative stage, 100 ppm at flowering stage and 100 ppm at rooting stage, G2 100 ppm at vegetative and 100 ppm at flowering stage and G3 100 ppm at vegetative stage and G4 0ppm as control) was used as sub sub-plot treatments. These was combined and laid in a split- split plot design with three replications. The results from the analyzed data revealed that Farmer practice, application of gibberellic acid 100 ppm three times, and Touchon mega variety had produced statistically better yield.

Published: October 2024

New techniques for accurately controlling microbubble positioning, leveraging the three-dimensional and high spatial resolution of two-photon absorption, have been experimentally demonstrated. Femtosecond laser pulses focused on a solution created a sharp thermal gradient at the focal point, where Marangoni forces acting on the trapped bubbles exceeded 380 pN, considerably stronger than those generated by thermal diffusion. This effect was used to position bubbles with micrometer accuracy along a narrow two-photon absorption distribution with a length of 1 mm. The novel bubble and flow driving principles, combined with fast and precise energy distribution control techniques in optics, provide innovative proposals for microfluidics, soft robotics, and many other fields.
