Published: February 2022

The article considers the role of digital platforms in the growth of the tourism business. The advantages of the introduction of digital platforms include: stimulating innovation, expanding the market, reducing costs, improving security, quality of operations, the formation of consumer value, improving the efficiency of enterprises, profitability, competitiveness. The first digital innovations in tourism appeared in the field of transport and accommodation services (e-booking, e-tickets, e-visas). The most common digital technologies in the field of tourism are Big Data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, mobile applications, virtualization technologies, intellectual works, the Internet of Things, etc. Digital technologies are also an effective tool for promoting the tourism potential of cities and are used by “smart” tourist destinations. They are already partially implemented in such cities as Lviv, Kyiv, Odessa. When implementing digital technologies, the following principles should be followed: efficiency (the benefits and costs of innovation should be compared), expediency (innovations should be useful and necessary), validity (need to justify the need for innovation), system (digital technologies should be implemented in different areas), adaptability (adaptation to specific conditions), sustainability (innovations should bring useful economic, environmental and social effects). The main deterrents to the use of digital technologies are their high cost, no or weak Internet connection, imperfect legislation, lack of certain technologies, as well as government support for their implementation. The disadvantages of digitalization are that it can lead to unemployment, and there are also security concerns. Digital technologies will continue to actively develop, will capture all spheres of public life.

Authors: TROSTIANSKA KARYNA , YAROMYCH LILIIA ,   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University
Published: February 2022

The article explores different approaches to the organization of tax audit at the enterprise. First, the definition of the term “tax audit” by various scholars is considered. Due to the lack of a common definition of this term in the legislation, there are conflicting points regarding its interpretation, in particular owing to the ambiguity of the definition of tax auditors. Some scholars believe that the executors are the controlling bodies of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, others think that they are independent audit firms, while some groups of scholars distinguish both. This issue needs to be consolidated at the official level. The next step was to study the sequence of stages of the audit. According to the generally accepted methodology, there are three stages of the audit: preparatory, basic and final. Researchers detail the stages, highlighting the stages or expanding the list of stages. In the context of our study, the specifics of the formation of the stages of tax audit at the enterprise are determined. The lack of legal framework to regulate the tax audit process has led to different views on the stages, audit procedures, sources of information for tax audit. Therefore, the creation of laws and standards that deal with these issues is extremely necessary and requires immediate adoption at the legislative level. Regarding the tax audit of payroll calculations, the main violations that can be detected in the process of such an audit are outlined: incorrect determination of employee income; errors in calculating tax benefits; incorrect definition of tax base, withheld / accrued taxes; application of the wrong tax rate; inaccurate preparation of tax reporting, in particular Tax calculation. Finally, documents that provide information on the results of the audit and the recommendations provided by the auditor regarding the elimination of identified violations, improving the accounting of tax calculations are identified in these scientific research.
CUSTOMS LOGISTICS: CONCEPTS, FUNCTIONS, FEATURES
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, Yaremenko Oksana
Published: February 2022

The article investigates the approaches to the definition of the term customs logistics. It is established that there is no generally accepted point of view on the content of the concept, its subject field among scientists and practitioners. Customs logistics is considered as a scientific direction, and as a practical activity, and as a functional area of logistics, and as part of the logistics chain, and as a set of logistics processes of participants in foreign economic activity. Given the complex structure and multiplicity of approaches to the interpretation of the term, and applying a systematic approach to disclose the content of customs logistics, it is proposed to understand customs logistics as a scientific and practical activity aimed at regulating customs goods and information and financial flows and protecting national interests, finding a balance of interests and ensuring the security and development of entities. The object-subject field of customs logistics is primarily export-import trade flows. They are accompanied by information flows: outgoing (from customs to the central authority), incoming (on the contrary), accompanying (documents for the goods). In this case, the implementation of foreign trade operations implies that the financial flow is divided into two parts: the first includes payments paid to the supplier for the goods (its feature is that it is governed by the laws of most states and international agreements); the second part includes customs duties, through which the state regulates the volume, range and direction of movement of export-import trade flows. Customs logistics integrates such important functions of customs activity, tariff-regulating, information-analytical, control-passing and financial-economic. The purpose of logistics of customs activity is first of all in the effective logistical organization of all types of the flows observed in customs business and their acceleration. This refers to commodity, information and financial flows, which together form an integrated commodity-information-financial flow, which has the duty to control such structures of the customs service as customs posts and customs, in particular when crossing this integrated flow of the customs border . The integrated nature of customs and logistics flows corresponds to the complex structure of customs logistics, which includes component, regional and functional structure.

Published: February 2022

The article discusses the methodological basis for modeling integration risks of the social and economic system, namely the association of enterprises and organizations in the value-added chain in the context of the emergent economy. The theoretical basis and practical aspects of the risk-taking of integration processes were presented, features of integration and methods of risk modeling in value chains in socio-economic systems were identified. Systematized taxonomic survey of emergent state of socio-economic system has been developed. The components of the integration of enterprises in the context of the formation of value chains are presented and the most efficient modeling methods in unstable environments have been identified. The algorithm of comparative estimation of emergent properties with dual poles of results of functioning of economic system and structural organization of system of modeling of indicators of emergencies taking into account influence of integration risks is presented. The methodological bases for the modeling of indicators under the influence of investment risks based on fuzzy logic according to system safety criterion are presented, A comparative assessment framework for modeling integration risks in value chains and a framework for modeling integration risks of economic potential and strategic resilience of the socio-economic system. It is noted that the method of comparative evaluation serves as an indicator of compliance of the conclusions of the model of dynamic chaos, which has a dual attractor and depends on the phase portrait. The taxonomy of the emergent state of the economic system serves to identify the integral values of innovative reflection and is to identify new properties that characterize the influence of the external environment on changes in the whole system with varying degrees of resonance. Peculiarities of modeling of integration factors at the bifurcation point when positive and negative emergent properties arise are highlighted. The vectors of the integration process, which depend on the adaptation potential of the new structural units (institutions), should be included in the formation of the model. The key factors and indicators influencing the sensitivity of economic potential and strategic elasticity of the system of value chains of enterprises are identified.

Authors: DZHEDZHULA VIACHESLAV , YEPIFANOVA IRYNA ,   Vinnytsia National Technical University
Published: February 2022

The paper generalizes scientific and methodological approaches to the development of economic and mathematical models based on the theory of fuzzy logic and linguistic variable. Forecasting and decision support using fuzzy mathematical models allows to summarize and concentrate expert information, to predict the course of processes in various fields, taking into account quantitative and qualitative factors. In comparison with known expert methods, the theory of fuzzy logic has a number of advantages, the main of which are the automation of calculations through the use of mathematical packages, such as Matlab, Scilab; the ability to learn models, use quantitative and qualitative properties of the object of modeling, obtain solutions for various related problems on the basis of one knowledge base filled with expert, analytical and experimental information, and others. It is substantiated that the construction of membership functions is one of the main stages in the construction of fuzzy mathematical models. The main ways in which you can build membership functions depending on the method of obtaining information are considered. Two methods are used to construct membership functions: the involvement of many experts and the involvement of one expert. The method of constructing membership functions involves fassification of fuzzy estimates of influencing factors. The phase of fasification involves the choice of fuzzy terms for the linguistic assessment of the influencing factors given on the corresponding universal sets. The most common membership functions are generalized, which include triangular, trapezoidal, Gaussian, sigmoid. An example of an expert questionnaire is given, which should be used when building a mathematical model based on information from a group of experts. An example of constructing membership functions for a conditional linguistic variable is given. Calculating the eigenvector of a matrix of pairwise comparisons significantly increases the complexity of using a mathematical model. Therefore, we propose to use consistent pairwise comparisons. Despite the fact that in mathematical packages the construction of membership functions is automated, the primary choice of form and characteristics should be carried out by calculation methods considered in the work.

The article considers the use of methods for the analysis of insurance market indicators. The insurance market of Ukraine is one of the effective tools for guaranteeing the development of the state economy. The aim of the research in the article is to develop proposals for improving the analysis of insurance segments by modeling. The main problems hindering its development are the lack of a perfect legal framework, low level of income and trust in insurance companies, instability of insurance companies, which is primarily due to the lack of management specialists. In society, the economy, insurance companies have an important role in protecting individuals and legal entities from incurring unforeseen losses in the event of an insured event. The reliability of the insurance company and consumer confidence in it is the key to the development of the insurance market. However, low problems in insurance companies slow down its development, make it opaque and uncompetitive, do not allow the development of new types of insurance. For the development of the insurance market, a new model is proposed, which requires creative management decisions based on sound mathematical calculations for the analysis of past-present-future and formed on the knowledge of mathematics, computer science, statistics, probability theory and more. The model is a formalized description of an economic phenomenon or process, the structure of which is determined by both the objective properties of the object of study and the subjective target nature of the study itself. The model reflects the analysis of the functioning of the insurance market and the main players in it, they use various forms of mathematical equations, dependencies, as well as a graphical representation of the results. The correlation-regression model used in the article reflects the dependence of the market share of a particular type of insurance on the level of net payments. The model allows to analyze each type of insurance, understand the functioning and development of the insurance market, identify unpromising types of insurance, predict the development of new types of insurance, set marginal criteria of supply and demand in the insurance market, determine the general direction of updating the insurance market. It is of practical importance for management decisions to policyholders, insurers, the Insurance Market Regulator and other players.

Published: February 2022

The study of methods of modeling investment processes makes it possible to develop an objective and effective model as a public investment policy. To do this, you must determine the available modeling methods, their advantages and disadvantages. The aim of the study is to review approaches to the use of different methods of modeling investment processes at the regional and national levels, which deserve attention in terms of transferring them to the macro level in the context of foreign investment. Methods of modeling using a system of linear equations, dynamic models, models of optimization of investment flows, game theory, multicriteria optimization and other methods of modeling are considered. The study showed that a large number of modeling methods are used. At the same time, there is no generally accepted single method of modeling state and regional investment policy. The article considers the modeling methods used. The analysis of methods proved that when modeling state and regional investment policy it is expedient to use all the above methods depending on the goals of economic development. This approach makes it possible to study the influence of quantitative factors on the course of investment processes and take into account, including subjective factors influencing these processes, which is associated with the presence of a thinking entity in the economic activity of society. Modeling of investment processes is seen as a basis for management decisions, which in turn will improve state and regional investment policy and ensure the effectiveness of foreign investment processes in the country. The most advanced is the method of studying causation. It is advisable to take a comprehensive approach to the use of methods of economic and mathematical modeling, taking into account the subjectivity of investment decisions.

Authors: Crowley-Vigneau A. , Baykov A. A. , Kalyuzhnova E.
Published: February 2022

While the international environment remains characterized by the desire of states to strengthen their position, the literature has revealed a growing preference for soft power instruments over military intervention. Higher education has been repurposed as a tool to achieve foreign policy goals, with many states embracing the international norm on world-class universities in an attempt to improve their international competitiveness and their image abroad. This paper considers the soft power conversion model of higher education and attempts to determine its effectiveness through a case study devoted to Russian Higher Education. A survey of foreign students starting their studies and of another finishing their studies in three leading Russian universities reveals that receiving a higher education in Russia may contribute to aligning students’ positions with the Russian perspective on international issues diffused in these universities as was confirmed by surveying a control group of Russian students. These preliminary findings suggest that the benefits of internationalizing national higher education systems are not just reserved to the norm initiators (US, UK) but extend to second wave norm adopters (Russia, China).

The case selection is based on the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings – 2016 and 2020) – global university ranking (top 500). The selection of Russian universities has been carried out on the basis of the QS BRICS – 2016 and 2020 university ranking. Based on the results of the selection of the leading universities, 60 universities of North and Latin America, Russia, China, Europe, and Australia have been selected. The comparison criteria of higher education institutions are codified in the content analysis matrix. We compared the entry requirements, the content and organization of the doctoral studies, and the “exit” – the learning outcomes. The results of the research are the distinctive characteristics of the Russian teacher training doctoral programs and foreign doctoral programs EdD, EdLd, PhD in Education. It is revealed that foreign universities are characterized by an orientation to a variety of labor markets, differentiation of programs and career paths; studentoriented approach; flexible choice of learning formats; focus on the preparation of the author’s original research; close attention to the idea of the dissertation research, programs, scientific publications, dissertation text, multilevel assessment (program Manager, scientific consultant, elective teachers on the topic of the dissertation, the head of the postgraduate seminar, external experts); online learning; high quality of technical and informational environment. The characteristics of the Russian doctoral studies, which impede differentiation of the paths of dissertation preparation by doctoral students depending on the specifics of the scientific research area, limit the possibility of implementing the practical results of the dissertation and reduce the potential for professional growth of doctoral students.

Background and Aim: Cellulite is the most common soft tissue infection in children. Children are prone to cellulite because they are more disposed to trauma, insect or animal bites, wounds, and scratches. This study aimed to determine the frequency of causes, complications, and cellulite treatment in children referred to Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital in Qom City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on all patients admitted to Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital in Qom during 2013-2020. The study data were extracted from patients’ medical records and statistically analyzed. Results: The Mean±SD age of the patients was 42.94±38.15 months. Their male/female sex ratio was almost one. The most affected areas were the lower extremities (43%), the upper extremities (26.5%), and the face and eyes (6.6%). The most common clinical manifestations were edema (75%), redness (62%), and fever (38%). The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were ceftriaxone (47%), cloxacillin (34.7%), and clindamycin (28%). The most common underlying causes were bites (16%), trauma (10%), and previous wounds (9%). Complications were abscesses (10%) and osteomyelitis (1.6%). Their Mean±SD values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and white blood count were 32.46±26.03 (mm/h), 24.14±23.07 (mg/dl), 12261±4587 (cell/μL), respectively. Preference was seen with Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in 80.5% of the cases. Blood culture was positive in 8% of the patients. According to the antibiogram response, the highest resistance was seen against cefazolin and then ceftriaxone, and the highest sensitivity to imipenem and ceftazidime. Conclusion: Finally, due to the limitations of retrospective research in collecting information, future research should focus on evaluating specific treatments and diagnostic methods for diseases such as cellulite in Iran. Future research can determine the prevalence of organisms involved in our country, as well as the type of appropriate treatment for all inpatients and outpatients.
