Authors: Orosco Condorí Eugenia Alejandra , Speroni Francisco
Published: December 2021

El seguimiento y la vinculación con graduados universitarios constituyen una estrategia para la comunicación e integración entre los egresados y la institución Universidad, que pueden generar oportunidades de contribución mutua. Los graduados pueden contribuir a la institución de varias formas, por un lado, desde el punto de vista curricular pueden dar cuenta de las nuevas temáticas o herramientas necesarias para insertarse en el mercado laboral que deben tenerse en cuenta en el diseño o actualización de los planes de estudio u otras instancias formativas que se desarrollen en la institución. También pueden hacer aportes desde su experiencia en la vida profesional participando en instancias de vinculación con otros claustros como el estudiantil que necesita conocer las posibilidades laborales para orientar su futuro desempeño profesional. Por otro lado, la institución puede establecer mecanismos de comunicación con los graduados para ofrecer información sobre actividades académicas como conferencias y seminarios, difundir actividades en torno a la formación continua de los graduados, ya sean cursos de actualización o carreras de posgrado como maestrías o especializaciones.
Nodocentes: las tutorías como dispositivos de acompañamiento académico
Authors: Sanfilippo Elizabeth F. , Vázquez Carlos A.
Published: December 2021

La formación profesional del plantel de trabajadores puede ser un objetivo a alcanzar por distintas organizaciones. Pero si esa formación puede brindarse desde la propia organización, entonces no sólo se avanza en mejorar las capacidades de gestión del personal jerárquico y de los posibles sustitutos, sino que se logra una noción más acabada del conjunto de la Universidad por parte del estudiante. Por lo tanto, con ese conocimiento se puede pensar en la posibilidad de colaborar con iniciativas que mejoren o resuelvan problemáticas administrativas y de gestión en áreas carentes de estructura Nodocente, ya sea por su reciente creación o por no formar parte de los espacios tradicionalmente ocupados por este tipo de trabajadores.

El esfuerzo que realizan los y las estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Gestión de Recursos para Instituciones Universitarias, en su mayoría adultos, con familia a cargo y treinta y cinco horas semanales de labor en Facultades o Dependencias universitarias, no debe minimizarse. El costo de oportunidad de este universo estudiantil es muy elevado y, en consecuencia, la detección temprana de las problemáticas que conlleva el tránsito por la carrera de la Licenciatura permitiría tomar decisiones respecto a las estrategias que le permitan al estudiante superar dificultades áulicas y de planificación familiar, entre otras, tendiendo a disminuir los índices de desgranamiento que han sido observados en las primeras cuatro cohortes que desde el 2006 continúan hasta la actualidad, ampliando el número de graduados.

Authors: MAJCHRZAK LESZEK , NIEWIADOMSKA ALICJA , NATYWA MAŁGORZATA
Published: December 2021

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki 2-letnich badań nad wpływem rodzaju pozostawionej biomasy, przedplonu i sposobu uprawy roli pod wysiew jęczmienia jarego na aktywność mikrobiologiczną gleby. Badania przeprowadzono w ZDD Swadzim, należącym do Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu. Wykazano, że uprawa jęczmienia jarego w technologii siewu bezpośredniego po burakach pastewnych sprzyjała większej aktywności dehydrogenaz w glebie. System uprawy roli pod wysiew jęczmienia jarego istotnie różnicował aktywność analizowanych enzymów w okresie przed siewem i w fazie krzewienia jęczmienia. Rodzaj pozostawionej biomasy przed wysiewem przedplonów kukurydzy i buraków pastewnych istotnie różnicował aktywność mikrobiologiczną gleby w fazach krzewienia i kwitnienia oraz po zbiorze jęczmienia jarego
Relacje między cyrkulacją atmosferyczną a przezimowaniem rzepaku na Lubelszczyźnie
Authors: BARTOSZEK KRZYSZTOF
Published: December 2021

Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu cyrkulacji atmosferycznej na przezimowanie rzepaku uprawianego na Lubelszczyźnie. Realizując tak postawiony cel, wykorzystano wyniki obserwacji kondycji roślin rzepaku po zimach w latach 1974/75–2009/10, które pozyskano ze stacji doświadczalnych COBORU w Bezku i Ciciborze Dużym. Uwarunkowania cyrkulacyjne przezimowania rzepaku określono na podstawie wartości wskaźnika NAO, oscylacji wschodniopolskiej strefowej i południkowej (OWPs i OWPp), a ponadto indeksów cyrkulacji strefowej, południkowej i indeksu cykloniczności oraz częstości występowania typów cyrkulacji nad obszarem Lubelszczyzny w okresie od grudnia do marca. Największy wpływ na stan przezimowania rzepaku miał przebieg warunków atmosferycznych na początku zimy. Straty na plantacjach rzepaku były znaczące, gdy w okresach zimowych notowano dużą częstość napływu powietrza z kierunku wschodniego i południowo-wschodniego, przy mniejszym udziale adwekcji z sektora zachodniego. Niekorzystny wpływ na stan rzepaku miała także większa częstość występowania sytuacji antycyklonalnych, zwłaszcza w lutym i marcu.

Published: December 2021

Within the solution of the project APVV-17-0071 Support of Reading Literacy in the Mother Tongue and Foreign Language, it is also important to reflect on outsidership as a certain ambivalent phenomenon, which appears after 1989 in contemporary Slovak literature for children and youth in various analogies. One of the aims of the study is to define the initial concept of outsider from various professional perspectives. We will also focus on the methodological basis of research of outsiders (social status, otherness, disadvantage, bullying, rebellion), not only in contemporary artistic texts but also in working exercises with regard to the learning language style.

Authors: Jana Adamcakova , Daniela Mokra
Published: December 2021

Lung silicosis is a serious pulmonary disease caused by an exposure of lung to inhaled silicon dioxide (SiO2) or silica. Although pathomechanisms of the disease have not been fully elucidated, oxidative stress has been recognized as a fundamental factor triggering a fibrotizing inflammation leading to irreversible changes in lung tissue. Based on this knowledge, therapeutic potential of various antioxidants has been intensively discussed. Among them, N-acetylcysteine with its multiple anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions and a long-term experience with its clinical use in various diseases appears as a very promising choice. The purpose of this article is to review the therapeutic effects of N-acetylcysteine particularly in relation to a lung injury and to point out a potential of N-acetylcysteine in the treatment of lung silicosis.

Authors: Dominika Kalankova , Daniela Bartonickova , Katarina Ziaková , Dominika Kosutova
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Nursing students spend a meaningful part of their professional training in clinical practice. However, to a significant extent, they actively or passively contribute to the occurrence of rationed nursing care in clinical practice. Therefore, it is crucial that they actively participate in implementing targeted strategies to reduce rationed nursing care.

Aim: To explore nursing students′ experience with strategies focusing on the reduction of rationed nursing care.

Methods: We chose a qualitative secondary analysis to address unpublished data related to nursing students′ experience with strategies focusing on reducing rationed nursing care. The data included a set comprising of 148 pages with transcribed verbatim of 18 semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed by a deductive content analysis.

Results: Based on the outcome of the secondary analysis, we identified two meaningful categories: Preventive strategies in clinical practice and Importance and meaning of preventive strategies. These two categories reflected nursing students′ experience with targeted strategies to reduce rationed nursing care in clinical practice.

Conclusion: Proposal and subsequent implementation of preventive strategies are essential for reducing rationed nursing care phenomenon from the clinical practice environment. The perspective of nursing students is vital due to their intensive perception of rationed nursing care in clinical practice. Students may identify areas that work-place staff may not explicitly focus on and consider important but jeopardize the quality of care or patient safety.

Fototerapia – metoda wykorzystywana w leczeniu przewlekłych schorzeń dermatologicznych
Authors: Banach Klaudia , Karkoszka Marta , Wrześniok Dorota
Published: December 2021

Abstrakt

Wykorzystanie energii świetlnej w terapii schorzeń o różnej etiologii towarzyszy człowiekowi od czasów starożytnych. Elementem decydującym o powodzeniu terapii jest dobranie odpowiedniej długości promieniowania (terapia NB-UVB, BB-UVB i UVA1) lub wystąpienie interakcji między substancją światłoczułą skumulowaną w zmienionej chorobowo tkance a zastosowanym promieniowaniem (terapia PUVA oraz terapia fotodynamiczna). Metody terapeutyczne wykorzystujące energię świetlną są klasyfikowane na podstawie wykorzystywanego zakresu promieniowania. Obecnie wyróżnia się fototerapię UV, wykorzystującą promieniowanie UVA lub UVB oraz terapię fotodynamiczną (PDT; photodynamic therapy), podczas której stosowane jest promieniowanie o długości fali 350-700 nm.

Fototerapia UV wykorzystywana jest do leczenia schorzeń dermatologicznych, takich jak łuszczyca, bielactwo oraz atopowe zapalenie skóry, ze względu na jej działanie immunosupresyjne i antyproliferacyjne. Jest dostępna w postaci terapii PUVA polegającej na wykorzystaniu synergicznego działania promieniowania ultrafioletowego (UVA) oraz związków o działaniu światłouczulającym (8-metoksypsolaren, 5-metoksypsolaren). Ponadto wyróżniono monoterapię promieniowaniem ultrafioletowym A1 (UVA1), szerokozakresowym UVB (BB-UVB) i wąskozakresowym UVB (NB-UVB). Terapia fotodynamiczna obok konwencjonalnych metod leczenia jest nowoczesną i nieinwazyjną alternatywą wykorzystywaną zarówno w diagnostyce, jak i terapii chorób o różnej etiologii. W 90% przypadków PDT jest stosowana w schorzeniach dermatologicznych, takich jak trądzik pospolity czy łuszczyca. Selektywna aktywność cytotoksyczna wykazywana w kierunku złośliwych komórek nowotworowych powoduje, że terapia fotodynamiczna stosowana jest także z powodzeniem w leczeniu zmian onkologicznych. Duży postęp, przejawiający się zarówno w opracowywaniu innowacyjnych substancji światłoczułych, jak i nowych źródeł promieniowania, sprawia, iż zakres stosowalności terapii fotodynamicznej ciągle się poszerza.

W artykule przedstawiono obecnie dostępne formy fototerapii poprzez opis mechanizmu ich działania, zastosowania oraz możliwości powstania skutków niepożądanych.
Investigation of the Temperature on the Thin Layers of Cobalt Oxide Produced by the Spray Pyrolysis Method Using a Solar Oven
Authors: Gharbi Abderrezak , Benramache Said , Fella Lahcen , Zedouri Aziez
Published: December 2021

Thin films of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) were prepared on glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis method using a solar concentrator (oven) manufactured in our laboratory. We used different processing temperatures (300° C, 350° C and 400° C). The structural, optical and electrical properties of the different samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy and the Hall effect measurement system. X-ray diffraction observations revealed that cubic crystals are created in all films produced, and the film structure is that of a single phase created with preferential orientation along the (311) axis in films at low temperatures, and the axis (111) for high temperatures. The grain sizes of our products vary between (22.62nm and 66.19nm), depending on the processing temperature. The optical band gap of the crystals obtained was measured. The results of the optical forbidden bands of the crystals obtained, indicated two bands of the values for each element (Eg1 and Eg2). We observed that the values of the effective optical forbidden bands increase by 2.547eV and 3.0731eV with the increase in the production temperature., In addition the film produced experiences a decrease in the Urbach parameters which vary between 162.20meV and 360.81meV depending on the increase in production temperatures. Finally, the films produced have electrical conductivity values of (1.090 [(Ω.cm)−1] to 1.853 [(Ω.cm)−1] and electrical resistivity values of 1.431 (Ω.cm) at 1.853 (Ω.cm), depending on the variation in the production temperature.
Reproductive Racism in Danielle Evans’s “Harvest:” Black, Chicana, and White Motherhoods in the Context of Reproductive Rights Discourses
Authors: Lénárt-Muszka Zsuzsanna
Published: December 2021

The paper explores the short story “Harvest” (2010) by African American writer Danielle Evans and traces the figurations of the racialized aspects of gender in “Harvest” within the theoretical frameworks of Black and Chicana feminisms, motherhood studies, and intersectionality. After situating the Black and Chicana characters’ anxieties around egg donation in the historical context of reproductive rights, economics, and the politicization of Black and Chicana women’s bodies, I discuss how the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, and class impact the racialized gender identity of especially the Black protagonist and to a smaller extent that of her Chicana and white friends as well. I argue that the current practices of egg donation depicted in the story are imbricated in the wider system of racial capitalism that values women’s childbearing capacities differentially in terms of their race.
Speaking with the Dead: The Sick Chick and the Psychic Crypt in Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Authors: Macmillan Catherine
Published: December 2021

This paper explores Gail Honeyman’s 2017 novel Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine from the perspective of Abraham and Torok’s concept of the psychic crypt. On one level the protagonist Eleanor, a thirty-year-old urban single woman searching for love, resembles a chick-lit heroine; however, Eleanor is deeply lonely, apparently autistic, suicidal and a survivor of childhood abuse and trauma. The paper argues that Eleanor’s difficulties can be understood as the consequences of encryptment which, in Abraham and Torok’s terms, is a disease of mourning where the dead loved one is incorporated rather than introjected into the psyche.
Nan King’s Orientation in Sarah Waters’s Tipping the Velvet: A Journey of Gender and Sexual Self-Discovery Following “The Slantwise Direction of Queer Desire”
Authors: Hernández Elsa Adán
Published: December 2021

In Tipping the Velvet (1998), Sarah Waters explores the notion of “gender performativity” as studied by Judith Butler (1990, 1993). Its protagonist, Nancy Astley, becomes aware of her sexuality and comes up with doubts about her gender as responding to the stable label society has put on her. This naïve girl moves from performing gender on stage to cross-dressing off-stage amid the crowds of London, not following, as Sarah Ahmed (2006) puts it, “the straight line” (p. 70). The aim of this paper is to explain how this straightness – both in terms of direction and heterosexuality – is the term Nancy, later on renamed Nan King, does not feel comfortable with. Throughout the novel, Nan’s discovery of a whole world of sexual and identity possibilities leads her to look for her own orientation, as her position in relation to the rest of “objects” around her is a queer one.
Female Authority Figures in Dorothea Tanning’s Chasm: A Weekend
Authors: Glăvan Gabriela
Published: December 2021

Little girls and young women are Dorothea Tanning’s recurrent archetypes, defining and structuring her conceptual archive concerning gender and the feminine. A celebrated painter and sculptor who shaped her artistic vision in the proximity of the historical avant-gardes, Tanning was also a writer who revealed the mystery and estrangement of family ties in Chasm: A weekend, a novel she started writing in 1943 and published six decades later, in 2004. This singular book offers a privileged dialogue between literature and art, as several episodes revisit and translate the high tension of some of her most representative paintings. From within a feminist framework, the article will discuss aspects of female authority and control in Tanning’s novel as dominant forms of female empowerment, present throughout her visual Surrealist oeuvre. I argue that examining these allegories reveals their role as connectors between the literary and the visual arts, between Dorothea Tanning’s fiction and her painting.
“Are You a Bad Boy?”: Variations of the American Adam in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet
Authors: Martinicorena Sofía
Published: December 2021

This paper mobilises R. W. B. Lewis’ myth of the American Adam, articulated in 1955, to examine David Lynch’s 1986 film Blue Velvet’s formulaic use of this masculinity archetype. Lewis’ ideal type of innocent masculinity is replicated by Blue Velvet’s protagonist, Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan), who must navigate the stereotyped conventions of good and evil against the backdrop of the idealised US suburb. Beyond the generalised assessment of David Lynch as the quintessential eccentric, this article brings to the fore the ways in which his work can be analysed as formulaic, paying special attention to the interaction between masculinity, spatiality, and dominant national mythology.
The Role of Gender in the History of the Professional Development of South African Nursing and Nursing Organisations
Authors: Esterhuizen Jm , Van Rensburg Gh
Published: December 2021

Historically, female nurse leaders endeavoured to make nursing a profession by establishing nursing organisations that could act as agents of change. They were hampered by sociocultural notions of gender: men dominating society, politics, and the economy. Nurses therefore needed positive working relationships with male leaders. In South Africa, such gender dynamics led to the South African Nursing Association (SANA), being influenced by a political system, that is, apartheid, which had dire consequences for the profession. This article illustrates that historically the emerging nursing profession was intimately connected with a changing society: female nurses strove for economic and professional independence but were confined by a male-dominated (medical) society. South African female nurse leaders never openly challenged the political status quo. It is recommended that current South African nursing organisations advocate for gender equality and clarify how they can foster a health-care environment in which gender diversity is the norm.
On Dictionaries and Gender Representations
Authors: Vişan Ruxandra
Published: December 2021

Placed at the interface between metalexicography and gender studies, this short article discusses issues concerning gender representations in present-day dictionaries. Evoking recent controversies regarding the representation of gender-related terms such as “cisgender” or “woman” in The Oxford English Dictionary, the essay goes on to discuss the prescriptive/descriptive opposition concerning lexicographical representations, taking its cue from previous approaches, which suggest re-envisaging the prescriptive/descriptive dyad as a continuum (Straaijer, 2009; Wilton 2014), or replacing this traditional binary model with a nonbinary approach (Nossem, 2018; Turton, 2020).

The parking problem is a severe challenge in city planning because of its impact on road congestion and accidents, delay time, and cities’ economy. therefore, many cities conducted different studies, reports, and projects to find the number of parking generation as it related to land use, in form equations, rates, and even data plots by using different independent variables. Iraq, till now, does not have a comprehensive study of parking requirements, or in specific how many parking spaces the different land uses are generated or needed. The general situation in Baghdad city at present is inadequate public transportation, few transportation alternatives, large private car use. besides the high illegal parking on the roads which means higher traffic density and congestion roads. this research studies three different shopping centers in Baghdad and analysis their parking generation as related to three different independent variables. these variables are GFA, GLA, and entertainment percentage where each variable is analyzed separately. the analysis was done based on parking accumulation in these sites. as it was counted manually for three days for Parking counting time that selected according to the peak of visitors for Retail is from 4 pm – 11 pm. in a result several parking generation rates and models with different forms are developed by using simple linear regression and only the best of them that has high R2 value and low RMSE is recommended. from the conclusion, the GFA and GLA have the most significant effect on parking generation as they developed strong models and rates. as these rates are 4.1 and 4.57 parking spaces for each 100 m2 of GFA and GLA respectively.

Authors: Dočkalik Marek
Published: December 2021

The state of the environment is deteriorating due to human activity. Today, almost no major international forum can avoid addressing environmental issues. Environmental protection has therefore become a mandatory issue for every responsible politician. In addition to contributing to economic growth, the role of road transport should be to ensure sustainable transport and solutions for people and goods around the world. The European Parliament has adopted Directive 2019/1161 on the promotion of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient road transport vehicles, which defines the obligations and forms of support for the procurement of environmentally friendly vehicles. In addition to these transport tasks, there is also a challenge to reduce CO2 emissions in transport through the use of new technologies in transport. Also in road freight transport, there are currently vehicles that use alternative fuels with a more favorable environmental impact. In connection with the current EU legislation, which aims to increase the share of these vehicles, attention is paid to the contribution of this area, analysis and examination of the current situation with trucks with alternative propulsion.
Collaborative Destination Management of V4 Countries and Germany During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Antošová Gabriela , Hausmann Clara , Pfeifer Verena
Published: December 2021

Tourism destinations need to develop a coordinated approach to the development of new tourism options. One possibility is to strengthen domestic tourism in the own country and to support local hotels and restaurants. However, rebuilding the destination requires a coordinated approach; for instance, collaborations with cross-border regions. Collaborative destination management is an approach to work with partner countries to jointly address the challenges of pandemics by establishing different types of tourism. Recommendations for action are identified from the PESTLE and SWOT analysis to ensure successful collaborative destination management of V4 countries and Germany during the Covid-19 pandemic. These analyses were performed because of brainstorming and the Delphi method with 4 experts from several fields of this study. Therefore, a strategy based on the TOWS Matrix reflects what a new collaborative destination management approach could look like during the current crisis for the Euroregions.
Experiences of Participants in on-the-Job Trainings in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County
Authors: Le-Dai Barbara , Hajdú Dávid
Published: December 2021

One of the most important fringe benefits for employers is education. Employees who have been trained are more attached to the company and their esteem increases. The survey interviewed 371 employees of enterprises participating in the GINOP (Economic Development and Innovation Operational Programme of Hungary) 6.1.5-17 “Support for on-the-job training for large enterprises” and GINOP-6.1.6-17 “Support for on-the-job training for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises”. The interviewees had different positions and educational qualifications. It could be shown that those who had been trained were able to use the new skills, some of them leading to an increase in income. The biggest risk of on-the-job training is that the workforce trained by the company is seduced by a competing company, resulting in a huge loss for the company.

Authors:   School of Business and Law, CQ University, Australia, Singh Kishore , Haque Amlan , Kaphle Sabi , Joowon Ban Janice
Published: December 2021

Background: With the progressive development of blockchain technology, its potential influence on the accounting and auditing professions is of interest to academia and practitioners. As the technology gains acceptance in businesses such as banking, stock exchanges, insurance, law, government services, and e-voting, business leaders are beginning to recognise its potential to transform their organisations. Despite concerns about how this technology will marginalise the accounting and auditing profession, blockchain continues to lag behind in adoption and there is time for accountants and auditors to reflect on their current practice and update their knowledge and skills to maintain their relevance to the industry. Motivation: The literature has not fully examined the implications of distributed ledger technology and its implications for the accounting and auditing profession. The intent of this research note is to identify opportunities for research that are of significance to the application of distributed ledger technology to accounting and auditing. Research Question: To identify possibilities that exist in researching the adoption, implementation and application of a distributed ledger solution in the context of accounting and auditing. Framework: Based on the literature, the study proposes a framework for a blockchain model of a simplified triple-entry bookkeeping system using smart contracts to automate self-verification and replication of transactions in a public distributed ledger. Findings: Drawing on the framework the article develops a series of research questions that may significantly reduce barriers and challenges facing organizations that want to implement blockchain technology in their accounting systems. Contribution: Given the complex nature of blockchain, cross disciplinary research is proposed to bring together information technology, accounting, assurance, economics and psychology resulting in further understanding of the technology as it relates to, and influences the accounting and auditing profession. In doing so, the paper makes several contributions to the literature.

Objective: To evaluate the potential of the buccolingual dimension of the permanent mandibular canine roots as a sex estimator, using midsagittal cone-beam computed tomography images. Methods: In this retrospective study, 58 Portuguese patients (27 female and 31 male) aged 18-60 years were assessed. The maximum buccolingual dimension of the cervical root was measured in the midsagittal plane through cone-beam computed tomography images. The Bland-Altman method was applied for the reliability analysis, and a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was obtained for accuracy analysis. Results: The buccolingual root dimension on the mandibular canine showed statistically significant differences between sexes (t56 df = 4.871; p<0.0005). The optimal cut-off to differentiate males from females was 6.64 mm. The area under the curve (AUC) was 83.5% (p<0.0005). An overall accuracy of 79% was obtained. The percentage of males correctly estimated was 77.4%, compared to 81.5% of females. Conclusions: Our data suggest that canines’ buccolingual root dimension can serve as a complementary tool for sex estimation in a forensic context.

Authors: BABICHEVA Nadezhda E. , SEMKIN Sergei A.
Published: December 2021

Subject. The article deals with the revision of targets in the economic analysis, enabling timely identification of factors of value creation, and considering the influence of the interests of stakeholders.
Objectives. The purpose is to identify targets of economic analysis in connection with changes in information requests of stakeholders and requirements for corporate reporting, concerning the disclosure of opportunities for sustainable development in the context of challenges.
Methods. We performed a content analysis of changes in information requests of stakeholders and requirements for the composition and content of types of corporate reporting. The study employs methods of systems, comparative, structural, and logical analysis.
Results. The demonstration of excellence by management and investors in understanding the values and the best ways to achieve goals creates threats, and, by definition, is a challenge that should be reflected in integrated reporting. The system of indicators and methods of analysis should be aimed at identifying conflicts and take into account the interests of stakeholders, which will ensure the balance of resources used in creating value.
Conclusions. The determinant of the development of corporate reporting is integration, in which a significant amount of information should contain estimated parameters of economic, social and environmental problems and threats specific to major challenges. It will ensure the most effective interaction of stakeholders in managing corporate risks associated with all types of capital. Such disclosure will lead to a synergistic effect in making strategic decisions on sustainable development.
Interrelation and interaction of principles of socio-ecological and economic concepts
Authors: WEGNER-KOZLOVA Ekaterina O.
Published: December 2021

Subject. The article addresses the principles of circular economy in their relationship with the principles of sustainable development and green economy.
Objectives. The aim is to clarify the principles of circular economy and green economy, establish the relationship of principles of these concepts, propose new principles of circular economy.
Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, synthesis, comparative and causal analysis.
Results. The paper presents a comparative analysis of principles of the green economy. On its basis, a new interpretation of the concept principles is offered. Taking into account the interrelation of the concepts of green and circular economies, the paper also clarifies the principles of the circular economy. The framework of the circular economy is supplemented by principles of regional specificity, recovery, regeneration and reclamation. I propose to consider the framework of circular economy from the point of view of "principles-conditions" and "principles-actions".
Conclusions. Despite its popularity, the paradigm of the circular economy has not been properly formed. The scientific literature still lacks a systems and comprehensive analysis of its conceptual foundations. The principles of circular economy should reflect the relationship of the concept with the fundamental principles of sustainable development and the green economy, though have their own specifics.

Assessment of methods for analyzing the economic security of the university
Authors: ERMOSHINA Elizaveta E.
Published: December 2021

Subject. The article investigates the analysis of economic security of a higher education institution. It defines its directions, analytical indicators, methodological guidelines, considering the specific nature of activity, which contribute to improving the economic security and the quality of management decisions made by key executives of universities.
Objectives. The purpose is to conduct a critical review and evaluate the main methods of economic security analysis of higher education institutions, taking into account the specifics of their activities.
Methods. The study rests on general and specific methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping, comparison, etc).
Results. I reviewed the existing methods of analyzing the economic security of commercial organizations and higher educational institutions, systematized advantages and disadvantages of methods developed by scientists, substantiated the need to introduce diagnostic indicators to improve the quality and efficiency of analytical information for making informed management decisions. The paper offers to conduct an analysis of economic security, using indicators of intensity and productivity of labor, which consider the specifics of activities of universities in comparison with other organizations of the public sector.
Conclusions. Currently, there is no unified approach to the analysis of economic security of universities. The conducted critical assessment of methodology may form a basis for further development of ideas and methodological guidelines on the analysis of economic security, and informed and effective management decisions.
Revealing of the specificity of mortgage housing lending based on the results of clustering of regions

Published: December 2021

Subject. This article deals with the particularities of the development of housing mortgage lending in the regions of Russia.
Objectives. The article aims to substantiate the need for clustering of territorial entities by level of development of mortgage housing lending in Russia and test the most effective algorithm for mortgage clustering of regions.
Methods. For the study, we used a systems approach, including scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, and statistical methods of data analysis. The algorithm k-medoids – Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) was also used.
Results. Based on the results of the study of regional statistics of the Russian Federation, the article reveals a significant asymmetry in the values of key socioeconomic indices that determine the level and dynamics of housing mortgages in the regions. This necessitates the clustering of territorial entities according to the level of development of mortgage housing lending in the country. To take into account the impact of various local conditions in assessing the prospects for the development of regional housing mortgages, the article proposes an indicator, namely, the integral regional mortgage affordability index. On its basis, in accordance with the selected clustering procedure, the article identifies five mortgage clusters in Russia and identifies their representative regions.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the specificity of the development of regional mortgages in the Tula Oblast, taking into account the implementation of the target State programme, the article concludes that it is necessary to improve the mechanisms for financing regional mortgage programmes and justifies the need to develop differentiated programmes for the development of housing mortgages in groups of Russian regions.
Benchmark test for calculated default probability values derived from the application of rating-based models
Authors: POMAZANOV Mikhail V.
Published: December 2021

Subject. This article deals with the issues of validation of the consistency of rating-based model forecasts.
Objectives. The article aims to provide developers and validators of rating-based models with a practical fundamental test for benchmarking study of the estimated default probability values obtained as a result of the application of models used in the rating system.
Methods. For the study, I used the classical interval approach to testing of statistical hypotheses focused on the subject area of calibration of rating systems.
Results. In addition to the generally accepted tests for the correspondence of the predicted probabilities of default of credit risk objects to the historically realized values, the article proposes a new statistical test that corrects the shortcomings of the generally accepted ones, focused on "diagnosing" the consistency of the implemented discrimination of objects by the rating model. Examples of recognizing the reasons for a negative test result and negative consequences for lending are given while maintaining the current settings of the rating model. In addition to the bias in the assessment of the total frequency of defaults in the loan portfolio, the proposed method makes it possible to objectively reveal the inadequacy of discrimination against borrowers with a calibrated rating model, diagnose the “disease” of the rating model.
Conclusions and Relevance. The new practical benchmark test allows to reject the hypothesis about the consistency of assessing the probability of default by the rating model at a given level of confidence and available historical data. The test has the advantage of practical interpretability based on its results, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the direction of the model correction. The offered test can be used in the process of internal validation by the bank of its own rating models, which is required by the Bank of Russia for approaches based on internal ratings.
