Authors: Hladchuk Olha , Halishchuk Daniil
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to outlining current trends in the cashless banking sector in Ukraine and exploring the correlations between the spread of cashless banking transactions and certain macroeconomic indicators (including gross domestic product per capita) to improve the methodology for studying the cashless activities of banks and forming effective mechanisms for their further development. The study employs special quantitative methods, including statistical and correlation analysis, which characterize the relationships between the spread of cashless banking transactions and certain macroeconomic indicators. The dynamics of changes in the share of cash and cashless transactions in Ukraine over recent years are described. The current state of development of cashless banking transactions, as well as their structure by quantity and amounts, is characterized. The correlations between the volumes of cashless banking transactions and GDP per capita are substantiated using statistical correlation analysis methods. A schematic representation of the algorithm of the identified correlation relationships between the studied indicators and their impact on the stable economic development of the country is provided. The relationships between the volumes of the shadow economy in the country and its cashless sector are described: an increase in the share of cashless payments in the economy contributes to a reduction in the level of the shadow economy and an increase in state revenues, which stimulates further economic development and recovery of the country. The main problems with the spread of cashless banking transactions are outlined: the high level of the shadow economy in Ukraine, the instability of the economic situation and the energy system of our country, especially in wartime conditions, as well as the low level of financial inclusion and financial-digital literacy of the Ukrainian population. It is noted that Ukrainian online banking is less bureaucratic and requires less time for use and transactions than European online banking. On the other hand, it is less secure due to the enhanced authentication and increased security measures of European online banking. Potential ways for the further popularization of cashless banking transactions in Ukraine are identified, including the optimization of their positive impact on the sustainable economic development of the country.

Published: November 2024

The article considers scientific approaches to the interpretation of the essence of innovation potential as one of the key factors of successful enterprise activity. It presents the general structure of the innovation potential of a banking institution in the form of a system of components, such as financial, personnel, marketing, material and technical, information, organizational, and it is proposed to expand this structure with elements of environmental and social components, which is extremely important in the context of sustainable development. It describes the process of managing the bank's innovation potential, which consists of developing plans, controlling processes, analyzing projects, coordinating between departments, providing resources and evaluating results. Approaches to assessing the innovation potential of an enterprise are systematized, a detailed analysis is carried out at the stage of substantiation of the possibility of an innovative project, when the goals and requirements for the components of the innovation potential are already clearly defined, and when weaknesses are identified, the bank takes measures to improve them. Diagnostic analysis is widely used in strategic management. The integral approach to assessing the innovation potential of an enterprise, which is most often used in the practice of entrepreneurship, is disclosed in detail. Taking into account the strategy of environmental and social responsibility of the bank in the context of sustainable development, it is proposed to include an assessment of the environmental and social aspects in the general methodology for assessing the innovation potential of the bank. When assessing the innovation potential of the bank, it is proposed to use the following scale: 0–4.0 – low level, 4.1–7.5 – medium level, 7.6–10.0 – high level of use of innovation potential. The results of the evaluation of each component of innovation potential are used to calculate the overall indicator of the level of innovation potential. After that, an average value is set for each component based on these estimates, which serves as the initial data for identifying the weaknesses of the bank. The integral indicator is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the total sum of all components of the bank's innovation potential.

Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to obtaining new empirical evidence regarding the correlation between subjective and objective well-being. The purpose of the study was the further develop approaches to determining the list of indicators (variables) that form the prerequisites of subjective well-being (happiness, life satisfaction) and can be used in the course of happiness research; identification of factors that determine subjective well-being (predictors of happiness) for countries with different levels of GDP per capita. The information base of the study was the results of the Annual World Survey on the Perception of Happiness (World Happiness Report) and the Global Competitiveness Index (The IMD World Competitiveness Ranking). Based on the assessment of the closeness of the correlations, hypotheses were tested regarding the influence on the perception of happiness of such factors as: Pension funding (Pens), Equal opportunity (EO), Disposable income (DI), Use of big data and analytics (BigData), Image abroad or branding (Braind), Digital transformation in companies (Digital), Health infrastructure, (InfrHealth). In order to test the hypothesis about the dependence of subjective well-being (happiness) on the indicator of objective well-being (GDP), the countries were grouped into 2 groups («poor» and «wealthy») of 27 countries each – with income above and below the overall average of the countries included in our sample (40 thousand US dollars). The conducted research allows us to state that the GDP predictor for the first group («poor» countries) significantly affects the «level of happiness», while for the second group («wealthy» countries) it does not. The list of predictors of subjective well-being (happiness) depends on objective well-being, the indicator of which is GDP: the FLS predictor (freedom to make life choices) is significant for «wealthy» and not significant for «poor» countries; the predictor PC (perception of corruption) is significant (with a negative correlation) for «rich countries», while it is not statistically significant for «poor countries»; the predictor DI (disposable income) significantly affects the level of happiness for the first group of counties, while for the second group, it is not significant. The obtained conclusions should be taken into account by state and regional bodies, and serve as a motivator for the development of appropriate target programs and action plans aimed at their improvement.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on sustained attention and depression in individuals with suspected attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: Between May 1, 2022 and September 25, 2022, the study included 60 students (9 males, 51 females; mean age: 21.11±1.6 years; range, 18 to 24 years) identified as being at high risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control groups. Each group consisted of 30 individuals. The intervention group received taVNS in conjunction with mobile-assisted games and relaxation exercises, while the control group received mobile-assisted games and relaxation exercises alone. The data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Beck Depression Inventory, and mobile-assisted assessment parameters. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, t-test, and MannWhitney U test. Results: Significant differences were observed in the intervention group concerning the sub-parameters used to measure attention and depression scale scores; however, in the control group, all but one of the attention sub-parameters showed significant differences. A comparison between the two groups revealed significant differences in reaction times and Beck Depression Inventory scores in favor of the intervention group. Conclusion: This study revealed that taVNS can effectively improve attention (cognitive function) and alleviate symptoms of depression.

Published: November 2024

The aim of the present study was to compare the Protaper Universal® nickel-titanium rotary endodontic files with the ProFile Vortex® nickel-titanium rotary files, evaluating the cutting capacity of the instruments. To analyze the cutting capacity, one hundred phenolic resin blocks containing simulated channels with 75° of curvature were weighed on a digital analytical scale, obtaining the initial weights (P0) and after instrumenting the channels, these blocks were again weighed, obtaining the final weights (P1). Forty instruments were divided into two groups. Group A: twenty ProFile Vortex® n°25 instruments; 25mm; taper.06 and Group B: twenty ProTaper® F1 instruments; 25mm. It was subdivided into two subgroups with ten samples each, according to the number of uses, being established as follows: groups A0 and B0, instruments with no use and groups A5 and B5, instruments with five uses. Descriptive statistics, the Student “t” test and the Mann-Whitney test were performed. In all blocks there was weight loss, but without statistical significance (pvalue>0.05). The Profile Vortex® instruments removed more material with statistical significance (pvalue>0.05) when compared to the Protaper® instruments. The authors concluded that the cutting capacity depending on the number of uses in the parameters used in this study were greater for the Profile Vortex® instruments when compared to the Protaper® instruments.

A maioria dos medicamentos anticolinérgicos atua por meio de receptores muscarínicos no sistema nervoso central, o que pode levar a uma série de efeitos adversos, incluindo doenças neurodegenerativas, como a demência. Este estudo tem como objetivo mapear as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre a relação entre o uso de anticolinérgicos e o desenvolvimento da Doença de Alzheimer. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão de escopo seguindo o checklist Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). As buscas foram conduzidas nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Medline via PubMed, Biblioteca Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações e ScienceDirect, considerando apenas estudos realizados em humanos, sem restrições de data de publicação, localização geográfica ou editora. Foram excluídos artigos do tipo editorial, carta ao leitor, capítulos de livro, revisões de livro, enciclopédias, erratas, exames, mini-avaliações, notícias, comunicações breves e resumos de conferências. Os estudos selecionados foram organizados por meio do software Rayyan, totalizando 68 artigos elegíveis para leitura completa, dos quais 13 foram incluídos na análise final. Dentre esses, 4 estudos não encontraram uma associação entre o uso de anticolinérgicos e o desenvolvimento da Doença de Alzheimer. No entanto, 9 estudos relataram uma correlação significativa entre o uso prolongado de anticolinérgicos e a deterioração cognitiva, sugerindo um aumento no risco de desenvolver demência, incluindo a Doença de Alzheimer. Assim, as evidências indicam uma associação consistente entre o uso prolongado de medicamentos anticolinérgicos e o risco aumentado de doenças neurodegenerativas.

VASYL STUS IN THE THEATER: FROM THE HISTORY OF THE ISSUE (1980s — 1990s)
Authors: Punina Olha
Published: November 2024

The theatrical interpretation of the life and work of Vasyl Stus began in the late 1980s. Dozens of productions across various genres appeared during the period of accumulating and systematizing biographical and artistic material, as well as reinterpreting the figure of Stus. Interest in his personality is evidenced by the performances of both experienced directors and beginners. One of the key tasks of Stus studies is to trace the history of the theatrical experiences that bring Vasyl Stus’s creative life into focus. To model the perception and artistic interpretation of Stus’s personality, it is important to identify various forms of professional performances centered on Vasyl Stus’s life or based on his works, while considering the chronological order of their appearance. These forms include poetic compositions, dramatic compositions, plays, etc. The paper starts a project focusing on the outlined issues and highlights the theatrical productions from the late 1980s and the 1990s.
Decades of theatrical exploration of Vasyl Stus’s creative personality represent not only a time of popularizing his works and integrating the poet’s name into the cultural sphere but also a period of directors’ and actors’ search for the potential — both poetic and existential — within Stus’s texts. The strength and significance of the poet’s legacy were proved by the following performances: the poetic composition “Vasyl Stus” (1988) by Volodymyr Kuchynskyi, the dramatic composition “The Bird of Soul” (1989) by Vitalii Sementsov, the musical and dramatic composition “Return” (1989) by Myroslav Hrynyshyn, the monologue “Go through a Hundred Scaffolds, a Man, Having Sight in a Heart” (1992) by Marharyta and Kyrylo Bulkins, the monologue “Damned Years” (1992—1993) by Volodymyr Smotrytel, the play on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of V. Stus’s birth (1998) by Dmytro Stus and Serhii Proskurnia.
WARS FOR THE CAPITAL IN THE KYIVAN CHRONICLE
Authors: Noha Hennadii
Published: November 2024

For centuries, Russian scholarship has been trying to appropriate the history of the medieval Rus’ state and its literature. At the same time, most Russian historians, from the 19th century to the present, have had to acknowledge that the definitions of Rus’ and Rus’ land in the chronicles of that time refer to the territory of the Kyiv, Pereiaslav and Chernihiv principalities or in some cases, only to the Kyiv land. That is why today’s Russia stubbornly repeats that there is no Ukraine and no Ukrainians, only ‘Malorossia’ and ‘Malorossians.’ Ukrainian scholars must actively work to dispel these myths. A renewed reading of history, especially of the medieval period, should lay the foundation for the full-scale cultural modernization of the Ukrainian nation and state.
As a document of its time, the Kyivan Chronicle deserves special attention from Ukrainian scholars. It preserved dozens of testimonies about conflict situations related to the attempts of the Rurik dynasty princes to take over Kyiv. After the death of Volodymyr Monomakh’s son Yaropolk in 1139, the rule of Kyiv changed hands 40 times by the end of the 12th century. In the single year of 1173, the change of power took place 4 times. The chroniclers portrayed Iziaslav Mstyslavych, Yurii Volodymyrovych, and Andriy Yuriiovych as the most active participants in the Kyivan Wars. However, the last of them fought not ‘for’ Kyiv, but openly ‘against’ it. He was brought up on the border of two traditions — the one of Kyivan Rus and the Eastern — but clearly preferred the latter. He spent a long time in the Rus’ land, where he had certain rights and prospects, but then returned to Zalissia and became an autocrat there. He tried to fill his capital with symbols of greatness, directly imitating the sacred landmarks of Kyiv. He managed to capture and destroy Kyiv in 1169, but his next attempt in 1173 was unsuccessful. Galician and Volyn regiments came to support the people of Kyiv against the ruler of Zalissia.

Although research already examined sociodemographic profiles of older internet (non-)users, it is unknown how combinations of sociodemographic factors relate to internet (non-)use. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cumulative impact of sociodemographic characteristics on internet (non-)use among people aged 60 and older between 2004 and 2021, using representative survey data derived from the Belgian Ageing Studies (n = 61 376). Logistic regression analyses consistently associated low education, age 80 or older, low income and female gender with higher probabilities of being internet non-user between 2004 an 2021. CHAID analysis revealed that education and age are the strongest predictors of non-use. The cumulative impact of sociodemographic factors enables to reveal subgroups where prevalence rates of non-use are almost three times higher than the prevalence reported in the population of older people in general. The result that 80.1 percent of individuals aged 80 and above with limited education did not use the internet underscores the need for a comprehensive digital inclusion approach, including strategies to overcome economic barriers to internet access and tailored internet training initiatives addressing digital skills and motivation. CHAID results help policymakers and internet training providers identify subgroups with high prevalence rates of non-users and target interventions to those at a high risk of digital exclusion.

Статья посвящена разработке и обоснованию индикаторов риска при проведении государственных контрольных (надзорных) мероприятий в сфере землепользования, которые осуществляет Росприроднадзор. В статье анализируется понятие «индикатор риска» в контексте земельного законодательства. Индикатор риска – это любой фактор (признак, условие, обстоятельство), который указывает на повышенную вероятность нарушения норм земельного законодательства. Далее рассматривается правовая основа применения риск-ориентированного подхода в рамках федерального государственного земельного контроля (надзора). Особое внимание уделяется функциям Росприроднадзора при проведении проверок. Предлагается использовать пять индикаторов риска при проведении контрольных (надзорных) мероприятий, в числе которых: непредоставление данных или предоставление ложной информации; вынесение трех и более предостережений в течение года о недопустимости нарушения требований земельного законодательства, наличие признаков нарушений при проведении работ на земельном участке; особые характеристики земельного участка; наличие дополнительных факторов риска.

В статье представлены некоторые подходы к экодиагностике урбанизированных территорий. Отмечается, что исследования в области оценки территории проводятся достаточно активно, компоненты городской среды рассматриваются с разных позиций. В то же время анализ существующих методик показал, что их применение в некоторых случаях не позволяет в полной мере оценить экологическую обстановку и другие условия, влияющие на комфортность городской среды, повышение которой является целью национального проекта. Предложены подходы к совершенствованию информационного обеспечения экодиагностики урбанизированных территорий по таким направлениям, как оценка степени антропогенной нагрузки, экологической обстановки и благоустройства территории. Объектом исследования являлся город Новосибирск. В качестве тестовой территории рассмотрен Ленинский район города, характеризующийся высокой антропогенной нагрузкой, выполнена оценка функциональных зон с точки зрения соблюдения на этих территориях градостроительных ограничений. Приведены результаты некоторых исследований городской территории по материалам дистанционного зондирования.

Abstract of Collatz Sequence Solution (2nd Way) I discovered a fact in Collatz Sequence: S (n) = {a, b, c,…,w} ⇒ LS(n) = LS(a) = LS(b) = LS(c) = …. = LS (w) … (Fact1) n, a, b, c, w, r ∈ N_+, LS(n) = {4,2,1} when n ∈ {1,2,3,4,5, …, r-1} Let LS(r) = {4,2,1} when n ∈ Z = {1,2,3,4,5, …, r-1, r} Part a) If (r+1) ∈ (N_even), and I proved LS(r+1) = {4,2,1} ⇒ LS(n) = {4,2,1} for all even #s Part b) If (r+1) ∈ (N_odd), and I proved LS(r+1) = {4,2,1} by part a. Therefore LS(N) = {4,2,1} for all n ∈N.
Petrography and magnetic susceptibility of ASH SHAQQAH 001 (Brachinite)
Authors: Garcia Jose
Published: November 2024

In August 2023, I received a very interesting sample in the laboratory, which after petrographic analysis turned out to be a brachinite-type meteorite. These meteorites are an achondritic type, composed mainly of olivine, and extremely rare itself. It is the first sample of this type that we have identified in our laboratory, which has allowed us to characterize this type of meteorite using polarized light petrographic techniques. After the first analyses, the official classification was carried out, concluding with the inscription of the meteorite ASH SHAQQAH 001.

How personal social services came to be responsible for changing the violent behavioural patterns of perpetrators of men's violence
Research has illustrated how victims of men’s violence became the responsibility of the Swedish Personal Social Services (PSS) and how its organisational conditions have professionalised and circumscribed practice for both victims and perpetrators. Since 2021, the responsibility of the PSS has been extended to include changing the violent behavioural patterns of perpetrators. The aim of this study has therefore been to explore the background of this legislation by asking how perpetrators of violence became the responsibility of the PSS. Following Bacchi´s Whats the Problem represented to be-approach, I analyse representations of the problem in different policies. Three phases are identified, stretching from late 1990 to 2021, when perpetrators of men’s violence are discussed on the political agenda and the PSS is given increased responsibility. First, the problem is not seen as the responsibility of the PSS; nevertheless, thereafter it is given some responsibility. Finally, in the last phase, the municipalities are given legislative responsibility. The problem thus transforms from initially being seen as caused by gender order and family problems to a behavioural issue that can be solved with treatment. In conclusion, I discuss possible explanations for why the PSS has been given responsibility for perpetrators of men’s violence. These include the limited number of actors the legislator had available, the Swedish history of men’s violence as a social problem and the knowledge base and practice that had developed over the years within the PSS. Finally, I discuss why the legislation has been realised as treatment. Overall, I argue that treatment for perpetrators of men’s violence existed in the emerging support field targeting men, which was then taken over and thereby professionalised by the PSS.

The phyllospheric microbial composition of tobacco plants is influenced by multiple factors. Disease severity level is one of the main influencing factors. This study was designed to understand the microbial community in tobacco wildfire disease with different disease severity levels. Tobacco leaves at disease severity level of 1, 5, 7, and 9 (L1, L5, L7, and L9) were collected; both healthy and diseased leaf tissues for each level were collected. The community structure and diversity in tobacco leaves with different disease severity levels were compared using high-throughput technique and Biolog Eco. The results showed that in all healthy and diseased tobacco leaves, the most dominant bacterial phylum was Proteobacteria with a high prevalence of genus Pseudomonas; the relative abundance of Pseudomonas was most found at B9 diseased samples. Ascomycota represents the most prominent fungal phylum, with Blastobotrys as the predominant genus. In bacterial communities, the Alpha diversity of healthy samples was higher than that of diseased samples. In fungal community, the difference in Alpha diversity between healthy and diseased was not significant. LEfSe analysis showed that the most enriched bacterial biomarker was unclassified_Gammaproteobacteria in diseased samples; unclassified_Alcaligenaceae were the most enrich bacterial biomarker in healthy samples. FUNGuild analysis showed that saprotroph was the dominated mode in health and lower diseased samples, The abundance of pathotroph–saprotroph and pathotroph–saprotroph–symbiotroph increases at high disease levels. PICRUSt analysis showed that the predominant pathway was metabolism function, and most bacterial gene sequences seem to be independent of the disease severity level. The Biolog Eco results showed that the utilization rates of carbon sources decrease with increasing disease severity level. The current study revealed the microbial community’s characteristic of tobacco wildfire disease with different disease severity levels, providing scientific references for the control of tobacco wildfire disease.

Introduction

Candida auris is an emerging pathogen that represents a worldwide health problem due to its global expansion, multidrug resistance, and difficult laboratory identification. Among the risk factors for colonization/infection by C. auris, a stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) stands out. This prospective multicenter study aimed to monitor the trend of the local epidemiology of Candida spp. and unveil the prevalence of C. auris.

Methods

From 2020 to 2022, axillar/inguinal swabs were collected from adult patients at three points: upon admission (D1) and on the fifth (D5) and eighth (D8) days of their ICU stay. We employed culture-based screening methods combined with molecular techniques to identify Candida spp. down to the species level. Specific screening for Candida auris was conducted using a real-time PCR assay in combination with an improved selective culture medium, mannitol salt agar auris (MSAA). To validate the effectiveness of MSAA, a collection of reference C. auris strains representing the four major geographical clades was used.

Results

We enrolled 675 patients, and 355 Candida isolates were retrieved from the 988 swab samples collected. From those, 185/355 (52.1%) were identified as C. albicans and 170/355 (47.9%) as non-albicans Candida (NAC). MSAA medium showed a specificity of 94.8%, albeit C. auris was not detected in this cohort. The dynamics of Candida spp. colonization by ICU were significant at the three collection points. Upon admission, C. albicans was associated with the Beatriz Ângelo Hospital ICU (p=0.003) and C. tropicalis with the general Hospital Professor Doutor Fernando Fonseca (FFH) ICU (p=0.006). C. parapsilosis and C. lusitaniae were associated with FFH ICUs, with the general ICU at D5 (p=0.047) and surgical ICU at D8 (p=0.012). The dynamics of NAC colonization by ICU were significantly different at D1 (p=0.011), D5 (p=0.047), and D8 (p=0.012).

Conclusion

We developed and implemented a screening protocol for C. auris while uncovering the colonization patterns of Candida in the ICU. Our findings contribute to the optimization of overall patient management, ensuring that ICU protocols are resilient and adaptive to emerging fungal threats.
