Published: June 2021

The work considers approaches to choosing the concept of non-rail transport development based on bus and trolleybus systems for the balanced development of passenger traffic. The development of public transport in the direction of reducing the negative environmental impact on the urban environment is considered not only desirable and also required, but the time for the full implementation of the transition to zero environmental impact is not defined. This transition is necessary not only to creating safer environmental conditions in cities, but also to increase the economic efficiency that new technologies bring. There is a need not just to introduce higher environmental standards for rolling stock and internal combustion engines, but to find a quality replacement and revise the concept. The city must strive for environmental standards and new technological innovations. These standards will change urban public transport for the better. All over the world, the main trend is the transition to renewable energy sources and the introduction of environmental technologies in all areas of human activity. Reducing the number of vehicles with internal combustion engines and the number of harmful emissions with them is a top priority. Emission reductions are achieved through the introduction of new environmental standards and technologies in the automotive industry. Reducing the number of internal combustion engines involves the release of new rolling stock in their place, environmentally friendly. People need to move goods, provide services or meet their own needs. To do this, they often have to use public transport, which is represented by such types as: bus, taxi and trolleybus. Bus public transport is a major polluter of the urban environment. Despite the significant investment costs that may arise during implementation, these technologies can lead to a significant positive economic effect in the perspective. The authors of the article considered the economic component of the issue and highlighted the problems and features that characterize each concept of electric buses, and developed their own recommendations.

In modern conditions of market management, there is a constant increase in competition among producers of goods and services for the best conditions for production and marketing of products. And more competitive enterprises are those whose products and services meet the needs of consumers and their expectations to a greater extent. The competitiveness of products, first of all, depends on the effective management of the operating system of the enterprise. Therefore, the study of enterprise operating system management becomes relevant in the modern competitive environment and market conditions of management. Effective management of the operating system will provide the company with opportunities to improve product quality, reduce its cost, increase labor productivity and, as a result, strengthen its competitors ' position in the market. An example of effective management of the operating system of enterprises is one of the most developed countries in the world - Japan, which today is ahead of the United States in terms of quality, competitiveness and quantity of manufactured products in most industrial sectors. The merit of this is primarily effective operational management.
Operational management is one of the three fundamental functions of an organization, the main goal of which is the production of consumer products. Its main feature is the purposeful solution of the main production tasks that are strategically necessary for the organization. In the article the essence of the concepts of operation, enterprise operating system, and operating system management is highlighted. The article systematizes the views of scientists on the concepts of operation, enterprise operating system and operating system management. Various scientific and theoretical views on the concept of operational management are studied. Various scientific methods of managing the enterprise's operating system in accordance with the scope of use are described. Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of operating system management are defined. Operating systems are classified into functional blocks. The definition of enterprise operating system management as a constant continuous process of planning, organizing and controlling the transformation of material resources into a final product or service aimed at meeting the needs of the end user is proposed.

ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR ASSESSING FORMALIZED TRENDS IN ECONOMIC DYNAMICS
Authors: Debela Iryna
Published: June 2021

Globalization of the economy as the most important phenomenon of today is reflected in the generalized statistical laws, their main trends of manifestation and development must be taken into account when developing economic and social forecasts at all levels of management decision-making. The assessment of future states of objects, processes and phenomena is based on the already accumulated knowledge about the nature, properties and patterns of existing or anticipated trends in their development. The choice of method and specification of the mathematical model, determining the structure and components of the studied object, phenomena, establishing relationships between them, which will trace the patterns of change in the process of existence and development, is the main step in forecasting the dynamic characteristics of economic indicators. Sometimes the type of model can be determined based on a graphical representation of the dynamics of the dynamics of the series. But, even when the trend is known, it can be described by various functions. This point determines the use of several modeling functions to approximate the same time series, followed by the definition of the most successful model for predicting the dynamics of the indicator for subsequent periods. The correct choice of mathematical model determines the results of trend extrapolation. The optimal approach to solving this problem would be a preliminary analysis of the process under study, in fact, its internal structure and logic, the relationship with the external environment. The article analyzes the theoretical foundations and mathematical methods for predicting formalized trends in economic dynamics. The advantages and disadvantages of the basic mathematical models of forecast calculations of dynamic indicators are determined. The necessity of combining different mathematical methods of development of alternatives of forecast tendencies of development of economic processes, characterized by existence of difficult interrelations, as one of means of maintenance of verification of forecasts - the generalized estimation of reliability, accuracy and validity is substantiated.
EVOLUTION OF THEORIES OF CYCLICAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Prymostka Оlena , Chub Pavlo
Published: June 2021

The aim of the article is to study the historical aspects of the development of theories of cyclicity in economics. The article analyzes the historical aspects of the emergence and development of theories of cyclicity. The concept of the cyclical nature of time was formed in ancient Egypt. From there, the idea of cyclicity penetrated into ancient Greece and were developed in the teachings of the Pythagoreans and Stoics. The Pythagoreans associated cyclicity, i.e. the existence of time segments of equal length, with world harmony. The cyclicity of time is also reflected in the calendars of the Maya, Incas and Aztecs. However, the most developed concepts of the cyclical nature of time, in our opinion, were formed in India. Particular attention is paid to the study of concepts about the cyclical nature of time, which were formed in India on the example of Hinduism and Jainism. The essence, nature, mechanisms of cyclic transformations in economic dynamics are considered. At the present stage of development of economic thought, the first attempt to explain the cyclical nature of capitalist production was made by the English economist William Stanley Jevons with the theory of the economic cycle based on the periodicity of solar activity. The explanation of cyclicality, as a periodic need to renew the fixed capital of enterprises, began to prevail in scientific circles since the second half of the nineteenth century. Systematization and classification of the then theories of cyclical economic development contributed to the study of Ukrainian scientist M.I. Tugan-Baranovsky. The division of existing theories of the cycle into three groups is analyzed: theories of social production, theories of the sphere of social exchange and the theories of social distribution. The classification of economic cycles according to the duration of waves according to J. Schumpeter is generalized. It is proved that, in contrast to Kitchin's cycles, within the Juglar cycles there are fluctuations not only in the level of utilization of existing production capacity (and, accordingly, in the volume of inventories), but also fluctuations in fixed capital investment. Subsequently, the existence of short-term cycles was explained by fluctuations in world gold reserves, but in our time such an explanation can not be considered satisfactory. In modern economic theory, the mechanism of generating these cycles is usually associated with time delays (time lags) in the movement of information that affect decision-making by commercial enterprises.

Authors: Lotysh Oksana
Published: June 2021

In the article the author highlights the need to use matrix methods in the strategic analysis of the industry. The main task of the article is to study the matrix methods, determine the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and justify the need to use them in the strategic analysis of the grain industry of Ukraine.
The author focuses on the fact that today agriculture occupies a significant share in the formation of the country's GDP and export structure. The grain industry, as a component of the agricultural sector, provides food security and fills the country's budget with money. The author analyzes the indicators of the grain industry and points to its priority in agriculture. In recent years, Ukraine has been an important player in international grain trade, accounting for 12% of the world market. The use of modern methods of strategic analysis allows to ensure rapid adaptation to external conditions, reduce uncertainty and risk in economic activities and ensure the concentration of resources in selected priority areas. In the article shows that the use of matrix methods in the strategic analysis of the grain industry will determine the advantages and disadvantages of the grain market and choose the optimal direction of development.
The main matrix models are characterized and the analysis of the domestic and world grain market according to the main matrices is carried out. In particular, SWOT-analysis was used to identify the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the grain industry of Ukraine, BCG and McKinsey matrices were built to determine the attractiveness of the grain market. Different matrices and methods can be used separately or in combination to develop a strategy for the development of the grain industry of Ukraine. In general, the development of a strategy for the grain industry is an important tool for maintaining the country's leading position in the world market in the face of unpredictable changes in the environment and the growing number of competitors. The use of different matrix methods for effective strategic analysis of the grain industry will allow a broader study of different groups of competing and consumer countries.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF IMPROVING THE CLASSIFICATION OF ENTERPRISE COSTS BY ECONOMIC ELEMENTS
Authors: Andriienko Mariia , Davydiuk Viktoriia
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the specification of areas and features of improving the classification of costs of the enterprise by elements, in order to successfully manage them. The study was considered on the example of both Ukrainian and Iraqi enterprises, as this classification differs slightly at these enterprises. But it is clarified that differences in the classification of costs by elements may exist not only for different countries, but also due to different opinions of scientists. Questions on production costs in various aspects were dealt with by such domestic and foreign scientists as: F. Butynets, V. Kozak, V. Lastovetsky, O. Moshkovskaya, M. Skrypnyk, O. Grishnova, A. Turilo, Y. Kravchuk and others. It has been found that the issue of classification of costs by elements has recently lost some popularity among Ukrainian economists. There is a fairly large number of criteria for classifying costs, which indicates the importance of information about this object in different views for management purposes. It is specified that the main factors of production (activity), ie the monetary expression of the expenditure of these factors, should be considered as the basis for the classification of costs by elements. The necessity of flexible change of classification of expenses on elements depending on evolution of change in quantity of the used factors and cost structure of expenses for their attraction is substantiated. It is proposed to divide the costs into constants and variables within each item according to the element classification. This logic of cost classification will clarify the cost structure, make it more convenient for management purposes (analysis, rationing, pricing, budgeting). It was found that the costs of the proposed elements will differ in terms of dominance of fixed or variable components. It is proposed in further explorations in this direction to clarify the possibilities of further classification of costs within each element. The generally approved forms of statistical reporting should change over time to describe more objectively what is happening at most enterprises in the country. However, the change of these forms will always be slower than required by the actual circumstances and changes in existing enterprises.

Islamic inheritance involves the allocation of the wealth of a Muslim deceased among his/her heirs after the settlement of legacies and debts. Irrespective of the amount given to each heir, if not invested, one day it will be finished through consumption, which could sooner or later make them live in poverty. Hence, this study intends to justify the Islamic need for investing inherited wealth. Another objective is to provide accounting treatments for basic Islamic inheritance transactions and the admission of heirs into an inherited business through the adaption of the provisions of AAOFI accounting and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Shariah standards for musharakah and mudarabah. The study established that the investment of inherited wealth in either musharakah or mudarabah ventures is in line with the Shariah to enable heirs to generate income sustainably to afford their needs. The study also showed the accounting treatments for basic Islamic inheritance transactions in order to determine the share of the equity and profit or loss of each heir from the business properly and correctly.

The programme was to uphold the Internationalisation of Education (ILe) as proposed by a public university in Malaysia. The aim of the study was to explicate the successes and challenges that the students had endeavoured during the programme for 6 months.  The methods employed were document analysis and interview.  The data were collected via learning journal entries which the students submitted through email to be compiled by the researchers as well as their final report which was submitted at the end of the programme. In order to triangulate the data, they were then interviewed once they came back to Malaysia. The data from both methods were analysed thematically following Merriam’s (2009) two-level analysis.  Four themes emerged from the data – experiences, public relations, independence and communication skills.  Each of the theme details both successes and challenges. These findings provide input for a draft of guidelines for any faculty or university to conduct a credit transfer programme in the future.

Dalam menghadapi cabaran dunia seperti ketidaktentuan ekonomi global, ancaman wabak pandemik COVID-19, penyelarasan norma baharu, dan perubahan sistem kesihatan awam, isu pengangguran graduan pengajian tinggi terus mendapat perhatian semua pihak. Kebolehpasaran graduan menjadi subjek utama perbincangan bagi membantu mengatasi masalah pengangguran dalam negara yang terkesan akibat cabaran tersebut. Program latihan kebolehpasaran graduan merupakan antara usaha berterusan bagi melahirkan tenaga kerja negara yang berpengetahuan dan berkemahiran serta kompeten menghadapi cabaran di era Revolusi Industri 4.0. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka faktor pembentukan motivasi pelajar yang terlibat dalam program latihan kebolehpasaran dan mengkaji kesan daripada pembentukan motivasi. Kajian kualitatif ini melibatkan seramai dua orang pelajar dari program kebolehpasaran graduan yang dianjurkan oleh Pusat Pembangunan Keusahawanan dan Kebolehpasaran Graduan (CEM) di Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) yang dipilih sebagai informan kajian. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan ialah temu bual separa berstruktur. Pengkaji adalah instrumen dalam kajian ini. Dapatan kajian menemukan bahawa terdapat beberapa faktor pembentukan motivasi pelajar yang terlibat dalam program latihan kebolehpasaran iaitu faktor diri sendiri, minat, keluarga, jaminan kerja, persekitaran, penganjur program, sikap, dan pengaruh media. Pengenalpastian faktor dan hasil pembentukan motivasi memberi informasi yang signifikan kepada pihak penganjur untuk membantu pelajar meningkatkan kemahiran kebolehpasaran, kepuasan dan minat. Pihak universiti dicadangkan memperkenalkan pelbagai program latihan kebolehpasaran graduan untuk meningkatkan kemahiran dan daya saing pelajar dalam menghadapi ketidaktentuan cabaran dunia pekerjaan pada hari ini.

Objective: Information on the population-based prevalence study of skin diseases is still lacking.  The study explores the prevalence and pattern of diagnosed skin diseases of the population in a primary care area of a university hospital in Thailand.Materials and Methods: Skin disease patients were identified using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision codes (L00-L99).  Retrospective data were obtained from the hospital electronic medical record between 2015-2019.  The number of clinic visits and the number of skin disease diagnoses were counted.  The five-year period prevalence was calculated by dividing the number of cases by the population in the primary care area.Results: During the five-year period, in a population of 29,969, we found 3,770 patients (12.6% of 29,969 population) who made 7,433 outpatient visits with the diagnoses of skin diseases.  Infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues were the most common (37.3%), followed by dermatitis (29.7%), urticaria and erythema (13.9%), other disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (8.6%), and papulosquamous disorders (1.7%).  The five-year period prevalence of skin diseases per 100,000 persons was as following: cellulitis (2,296), urticaria (1,682), psoriasis (177), atopic dermatitis (420), seborrheic dermatitis (227), alopecia areata (50), vitiligo (23), and pemphigus (10).Conclusion: Infection and dermatitis were the two most common skin diseases in the primary care area population.  Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and decubitus ulcer were less commonly found.  Our prevalence data should be the “at least” prevalence of skin diseases due to possible underreporting.

Objective: The aims of this study were to describe direct computed tomography venography (CTV) for upper limb venous system evaluation and to report on findings in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.Materials and Methods: Direct CTV was performed using a 64-multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanner with simultaneous injection of diluted iodinated contrast (IC); 1:4 at both elbows and 2-phase scanning namely, the direct venous, and the arterial phases. The findings in ESRD patients evaluated between November 2013 and March 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.Results: Forty CTV examinations (600 venous segments) were performed and the volume of IC used per patient was 38 mL. Number of lesions found in a patient ranged from 1 to 6 and the majority had 1 to 3 lesions (30/38 patients). Stenosis and thrombosis were the two most common findings (112/600) and were equally prevalent. The three most common sites of steno-occlusive complications were the brachiocephalic vein (29 lesions), the internal jugular vein (25 lesions), and the subclavian vein (16 lesions). The most common site of stenosis was the brachiocephalic vein (18 lesions), whereas the most common site of thrombosis was the internal jugular vein (20 lesions). No venous aneurysms or ruptures were found. IC extravasation at the site of injection occurred in one arm in one patient.Conclusion: Direct CTV has the advantage of requiring lower IC volume while maintaining direct visualization of the venous system similar to conventional venography.
