The COVID-19 pandemic impacts global health, and no specific drug has proven effective in curing SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study aimed to analyze the survival characteristics of COVID-19 patients in Koja Hospital. This research method is analytically observational with a cross-sectional design. The study population was 1080, and the research sample was 284 patients. The sampling used a purposive sampling method with a retrospective approach from the medical records of confirmed COVID-19 inpatients from May to October 2020. The analysis uses SPSS software version 26. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. Kaplan Meier, Log Rank, and Cox Regression were used for the probability of survival analysis and mortality risk ratio in COVID-19 patients. The case fatality rate (CFR) of 284 COVID-19 patients was 20.4%. The mean age of the patients was 49 years (IQR 37–57). The most common comorbidity was hypertension, 34%. The average probability of survival of COVID-19 patients was above 60%. In addition to gender, predictors including age, comorbidities, type of intensive care, and use of antivirals had significant differences and affected the chances of survival of COVID-19 patients. Patients given oseltamivir monotherapy had the highest survival rate of about 80% after undergoing treatment for about 38 days (p equal 0.000). The mortality risk ratio of COVID-19 patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus was 8.7 times higher than that of those without comorbidities (95% CI 1,02–75.82, p less than 0.048). Patients with intensive care had an 11.43 times increased mortality risk ratio compared to usual care (95% CI 6,34–20,62, p less than 0.000). The conclusion of this study is intensive care and a history of diabetes mellitus are associated with the risk of death. There needs to be an increase in COVID-19 control measures, especially in populations prone to comorbid diabetes with severe and critical degrees.

Stroke patients with dysphagia require proper initial screening so as not to cause severe complications. More optimal efforts are needed to improve swallowing ability to avoid complications. Swallowing exercises combined with Benson Relaxation and Aromatherapy are expected to provide better results in increasing the swallowing ability score of stroke patients with dysphagia. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of Swallowing Exercise with Benson Relaxation and Aromatherapy on the swallowing ability of stroke patients. This type of research is a quasi-experimental pre and post-test. Researchers intervened in two groups of respondents. One group intervened with a combination of swallowing exercises with Benson relaxation, and one group combined swallowing exercises with aromatherapy. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling. The number of samples was 44 people: 20 people in Intervention Group I and 25 in Intervention Group II. Statistical analysis used a dependent t-test (paired t-test) to test the difference in the average score of swallowing ability before and after the intervention and an independent t-test to test the difference in the average score after the intervention in intervention groups I and II. This research showed a significant difference in the average score of swallowing ability before and after the intervention in the intervention group I and II, and there is no difference in the average score of swallowing ability after the intervention in the intervention group I and II. Swallowing exercise combined with Benson relaxation and aromatherapy can improve the swallowing ability score of dysphagia patients due to stroke.
Wages in the system of economic relations of sustainable development: separate issues
Authors: Kuchabskyi Nazariy
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes individual issues of wages in Ukraine in conditions of sustainable development and war. The low level of wages does not contribute to development and social transformations. The average salary level in the country is much lower compared to European countries. This reduces the purchasing power of the population and the general standard of living of individual citizens. At the same time, a significant part of the economy functions in the shadow, that is, without official accounting. Workers who receive an «envelope» salary do not have social guarantees and protections, such as pensions and paid holidays. There are significant disparities in the level of wages between different regions and industries, salaries in large cities are significantly higher than in rural areas and IT specialists – than other workers. Employers often do not index wages in accordance with the level of inflation, which leads to a decrease in the real purchasing power of employees. The tax burden on wages is very high, which reduces the net income of workers and can encourage shadow payments. Low productivity is often the reason for low wages. Business cannot pay high wages due to lack of innovation and low production efficiency. The high level of labor migration during martial law, especially of youth, blue-collar workers and skilled workers, to other countries where wages are higher creates a labor shortage in Ukraine and affects the labor market. Corrupt practices in the system of financial distribution and an ineffective management system can lead to an unequal distribution of budget resources, and therefore opportunities for workers to receive decent wages. These problems require a comprehensive approach to the solution, including economic reforms and changes in the legal framework for the remuneration of individual employees and motivations for this business. Based on the review of the literature and the regulatory field of regulation of the best practices of payment of labor in Ukraine, it was determined that the reduction of the tax burden on wages contributes to its legalization, and therefore to the filling of local and state budgets. The advantages of remuneration in the special legal regime of Diya.City, which was designed to support, stimulate and practical development and improvement of the IT industry in Ukraine, were studied. It provides significant tax, certain labor and other preferences and benefits. They stimulate the growth of the technological IT environment, attracting investments and increasing innovation.
Trade sign, trademark, brand: definitions, conceptual framework and legislation
Authors: Vasylyshyn Vladeslav
Published: July 2024

The definitions and conceptual framework of the following terms are studied: brand, mark, sign and definitions. The research was conducted on the basis of definitions and approaches of these Western marketing «gurus» and practitioners of well-known Western experts in marketing, advertising, management, and psychology, as well as our domestic experts and scientists. Such definitions for a brand include trade, commercial, commodity, brand and others. The analysis of the literature showed that these definitions are identical, and in the Ukrainian case, it is necessary to focus on the legislative framework. The author also studied the definition of a trademark with the following definitions: trade, commercial, commodity, brand and others. These definitions and their conceptual framework were also found to be identical. In addition, the definition and conceptual framework of «brand» were also studied. The main synonyms for the brand in their definitions can be quality, image, memory, positive impressions, psychological effect, advertising and positioning. In the Ukrainian market, consumers and even experts often equate the concepts of a trademark, a trade mark and even a brand. However, this is not correct. I support this understanding of Western and domestic scientists that these are three consecutive steps. If to explain briefly, TS is a sign of indication of goods and services issued in the state according to its legislation. TM is a sign or logo under which the seller sells his goods and which is known to buyers. TM may be identical to the TS, and may not be identical to it. A brand, in turn, can be a well-promoted TM or it can be promoted without TM. In the West, TM and brand are practically the same thing, because there is basically an oligopoly market where several powerful firms operate with a not very developed product market. The terms TS, TM, and brand came to us from the West. The first two in the West were introduced around 20–40 years of the last century, and the brand around 60–70 years of the last century. The brand in the West went through four strategies from commodity to corporate. The basis for the definitions was the goal and historical facts and opportunities. Due to the change in these two factors, we have given a new definition of the brand. This definition is based on the UN resolutions on the exhaustion of the Earth's resources and their inconsistency with the ability to meet the needs of modern man and the right and responsible attitude. That is, we can interpret it as «green» marketing.
Franchising as a form of entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine: realities and prospects
Authors: Vasiuta Viktoriia , Yukhno Vlada , Yakovlieva Alina
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the study and analysis of franchising as an effective tool for entrepreneurial activity. The state and prospects for the development of the franchising business model in the Ukrainian economy have been studied. Before the full-scale invasion of russia into the territory of Ukraine, the franchising market was developing dynamically in almost all sectors of the economy, despite the coronavirus crisis. In recent years, franchising has become the most popular in Ukraine in the field of consumer services, public catering and retail trade. The franchising market provides a great advantage for the development of the national economy. The current state of franchising in Ukraine, its positive aspects and opportunities for future growth are revealed. It can be the beginning of the development of small and joint ventures that will focus on innovation. Like any form of cooperation, franchising has its advantages and disadvantages that need to be taken into account. Now the development of the Ukrainian economy is a sensitive issue due to the war started by russia. Without activity in the economic sphere, the full functioning of the state is impossible. As a result of the military conflict, Ukrainian enterprises began to expand in Europe, which created the basis for the formation of a market for Ukrainian franchises. In safer regions of Ukraine, relocated businesses received a significant increase in income. With the stabilization of the situation in the country, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to open their own businesses. In general, the Ukrainian franchising business offers ample opportunities for further growth and development. Entrepreneurs who understand the benefits of franchising and know how to effectively use its potential can achieve success in both domestic and international markets. However, it is important to carefully select franchisees, conduct a detailed analysis of the terms of the deal before launching the business. Despite the existing difficulties in implementing a franchising project, the number of “quality” franchises and conscientious franchisors in Ukraine is increasing every year. New initiatives are emerging that are successfully developing not only in Ukraine, but also abroad. This indicates that in the near future, the franchising market in our country will move to a new stage of development.
The scientific-methodical approach to assessing the investment attractiveness of territories
Authors: Savchenko Maryna , Zavydovska Alina , Svirhun Artem
Published: July 2024

The deepening of international integration and the expansion of economic cooperation leads to the strengthening of the influence of external factors on the socio-economic development of individual countries, among which investments occupy a special place. The inflow of foreign capital facilitates the solution of many problems faced by the country-importer of capital, therefore the attraction and effective inclusion of foreign investments in the system of factors of economic growth is the most important strategic and tactical task of any European country. The article aims to assess the investment attractiveness of Northern European countries and the degree of connection between its main dimensions, identifying internal and external factors for this. External factors are characterized by the country's ability to attract new resources. In this context, the openness of the economy, FDI and the number of foreign tourists are taken into account. Internal dimensions include five groups of indicators: socio-economic, infrastructural, innovative and research, energy resources and agricultural. On the basis of entropy methods, an approach was developed to assess the degree of connection between the main dimensions of investment attractiveness. The countries that were the subjects of the study for the period 2000-2021 were Finland, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. The analyzed data were obtained from the World Data Bank. The conclusions showed that the highest degree of connection of integrated investment attractiveness in 2010-2021 was the most attractive for investment in Latvia and Estonia. In 2020, Ukraine and Norway had the lowest integrated score due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Countries that today have fairly high economic indicators and political stability (Finland and Norway) are not IPs due to the oversaturation of the capital market. For Ukraine, the most destabilizing indicators of investment attractiveness were the introduction of innovations and the conducting of scientific research. Thus, the number of scientists from 2010 to 2021 decreased by three times, and the amount of research and development expenditures in relation to GDP doubled. The results of the paired and integrated assessment of coordination and the relationship between the main dimensions of investment attractiveness allowed to reveal both positive and negative trends of its change, justifying the state policy of increasing investment attractiveness.

Kitlesel Panik, Dayanışma, Çatışma ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet Ekseninde Afet Sosyolojisi
Authors: Yeniçırak Hasan , Durmaz Yurt Betül
Published: July 2024

Herhangi bir afet durumu söz konusu olduğunda afetler öncelikle fiziksel bir olgu olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Ancak, afetler fiziksel olgu olduğu kadar toplumsal bir olgudur. Afetlerin toplumsal bir olgu olması ise onun sosyolojik perspektiften incelenmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Afetler, sosyoloji için adeta bir toplumsal laboratuvar niteliğine sahiptir. Bu gerçeklikten hareketle, bu çalışma afetleri belli başlı sosyolojik kavramlar eşliğinde incelemektedir. Çalışmada, kitlesel panik, dayanışma, çatışma ve toplumsal cinsiyet eksenindeki afet okumalarına yer verilmektedir. Kitlesel panik eksenindeki afet okuması, afetlerin hemen akabinde ortaya çıkan ilk tepkinin kitlesel panik ve şiddet olduğunu, bu durumun da toplumsal çözülmeye yol açtığını vurgulamaktadır. Dayanışma eksenindeki afet okuması, depremin hemen akabinde ortaya çıkan davranış örüntüsünün daha çok yardımlaşma olduğunu, afetlerin insanlarda güçlü özgecil normların ortaya çıkmasına yol açtığını vurgulamaktadır. Bunun karşısında ise afetlerin hemen akabinde ortaya çıkan davranış örüntülerinin dayanışma ekseninde değil, çatışma ekseninde şekillendiğini belirten bir sosyolojik okuma bulunmaktadır. Toplumsal cinsiyet eksenindeki afet okuması ise gelişmişlik-azgelişmişlik ile kırılganlığı ilişkilendirerek kırılgan gruplar içerisinde yer alan kadınların afetle ilişkisini toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında ele almaktadır. Afetlere yönelik bu sosyolojik perspektifler, afetlerin tek bir boyutunun olmadığını, aynı anda birbirine tezatlık teşkil edebilecek durumlara nasıl yol açtığının bir açıklamasını sunmaktadır.

In response to the scarcity of grade-specific academic self-efficacy scale, the present study was aimed to adapt a scale for measuring academic self-efficacy for higher secondary students in the context of Bangladesh. Main objective of this study was to assess psychometric properties of the Academic Self-efficacy Scale for Bangladeshi higher secondary students. This measure was administered on a sample 207 higher secondary students who were selected from 3 administrative districts of Bangladesh by non-probability sampling techniques. Psychometric properties were assessed through item analysis (item-total correlation, Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half reliabilities), differential item function, and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (Predictive validity). One item excluded from the scale as this item had insufficient item-total correlation. Findings revealed that this scale had sufficient internal consistency reliabilities and predictive validity and suggested that this could be applicable for assessing academic self-efficacy of higher secondary students in Bangladesh.

Published: July 2024

A comparative study on in vitro seed germination and seedling development of Staurochilus ramosum (Lindl.) Seidenf. was carried out in vitro. Four basal media namely KC, MS, PM and VW media were used as half strength, full strength and full strength supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP and 0.5mg/l NAA and solidified with agar. Response like protocorm like bodies (PLBs) initiation, seed germination and seedlings development on different basal media were varied distinctly. Full strength PM medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP and 0.5mg/l NAA showed better response within 6 weeks of culture. The overall result indicates that PM medium was more effective than KC, MS and VW media for initiation of germination, PLBs formation and plantlets development.

Conventional methods of producing electricity are expensive, pollute the environment, need a lot of maintenance, and eventually run out of power. Because of this, it is imperative to take use of the unrealized potential of renewable energy sources that are also ecologically beneficial. At the Institute of Southern Punjab (ISP), Multan, Pakistan geographical location coordinates latitude 30° 17′ 20′′ N and longitude 71° 30′ 1′′ E. Current study developed an effective, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly Grid Tie PV System (GTPVS) to address this issue. One location where solar energy has enormous promise is Multan. At this location, the average yearly horizontal solar irradiance is 1861.8 kWh/m2/year and average diffuse horizontal solar irradiance 898.9 kWh/m2/year. In this study, PVSyst is used to calculate the performance ratio and various power losses, such as inverter, temperature-related losses, and losses from PV modules. Every day, 3026.26 kg of coal are saved, which is the same as growing 29062.87 Teak trees for life time. According to National Electric Power Regulation Authority (NEPRA) rule Tarif A3(66) is applied on universities and schools, where 60 Rs/kWh is unit cost in year 2024. The generated energy costs for Longi solar cell for proposed location in ISP Multan is 0.07 US dollars per kWh, while the standard energy pricing in Pakistan in 2024 is 0.21 US dollars per kWh. The simulation results show that, proposed RTSPVS design energy production is 966.4 MWh/year. Annual performance ratio (PR) for the proposed system is 85.8%.
