Published: October 2024

A década de 1840 foi decisiva na reestruturação do Governo Imperial, após os anos conturbados do Período Regencial. A Coroa tinha dois desafios principais: a consolidação das suas fronteiras e o fortalecimento econômico. Nesse sentido, Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen publicou o Memorial Orgânico em 1849, com as suas propostas de reformulação da geopolítica e da administração do Império do Brasil. As proposições do Visconde de Porto Seguro centravam na ocupação do interior do território nacional, apontando as mudanças necessárias no plano do trabalho, ao indicar a utilização da mão de obra indígena e imigrante enquanto as principais alternativas para a desagregação do trabalho escravizado. Nesse artigo analisamos as propostas de Varnhagen para a reformulação das províncias e das mudanças das suas capitais, apontando os impactos desse projeto nos debates em torno da divisão administrativa do Império do Brasil.

Published: October 2024

Впровадження проєктного підходу в будь-якій галузі економіки країни спрямоване на ефективне використання ресурсів, оптимізацію процесів та досягнення стратегічних цілей шляхом чіткого планування та виконання різних ініціатив. Такий підхід допомагає компаніям краще організовувати свою діяльність, підвищувати конкурентоспроможність і відповідати вимогам сучасного ринку. Тому варто розглянути питання впровадження методології управління проєктами в туристичному та готельно-ресторанному бізнесі. До повномасштабного вторгнення РФ в Україну, протягом останніх десяти років у великих містах країни спостерігалося стрімке зростання туристичного та готельно-ресторанного бізнесу. На ринку з'являлися великі міжнародні мережі, збільшувалася кількість невеликих приватних готелів, а також модернізувалися старі радянські заклади. Кількість проєктів у цій сфері постійно зростала, особливо перед проведенням важливих подій і великих заходів. Водночас менеджери проєктів часто стикалися з викликами щодо ефективного управління і балансу між фінансами, якістю та термінами виконання. Це питання залишається актуальним і сьогодні. У статті обґрунтована необхідність дослідження особливостей управління проєктами в туристичному та готельно-ресторанному бізнесі й проаналізовано поняття «туристичний проєкт» та «туристичний продукт» з точки зору проєктного підходу. Наведена класифікація туристичних проєктів за наступними ознаками: за масштабом, за географічним принципом, за метою, за тривалістю виконання, за джерелами фінансування та за кількістю учасників. Обґрунтовано етапи життєвого циклу туристичного проєкту, що відповідають життєвому циклу туристичного продукту, який повинен бути оновлений чи удосконалений до завершення етапу зрілості попереднього продукту. На основі теорії життєвого циклу туристичного проєкту, яка повністю узгоджується з принципами управління проєктами, можна стверджувати, що вона визначає чітку послідовність створення туристичного продукту, який у підсумку стає товаром, тобто проєктом. Загалом, розробка туристичного продукту у форматі проєкту підвищує рівень туристичної індустрії, наближаючи її до сучасних високотехнологічних секторів економіки.
РЕСВЕРАТРОЛ – ПЕРСПЕКТИВНИЙ АНТИОКСИДАНТ В М’ЯСО-МОЛОЧНИХ ПРОДУКТАХ
Authors: Осипенкова Ірина , Чепурна Оксана , Нагурна Ніна
Published: October 2024

Проаналізовано наукові джерела, щодо окисних процесів жировмісних продуктів та використання антиоксидантів в м'ясо - молочній промисловості. Антиоксиданти - важлива група харчових добавок, які володіють унікальними властивостями збільшувати термін зберігання харчових продуктів без впливу на смакові характеристики та харчову цінність. Відповідно до класифікації розрізняють первинні та вторинні. Первинні включають феноли та фенольні сполуки, можуть бути донорами атому гідрогену та мають властивості розривати ланцюг радикальної реакції. Вторинні - аскорбінова кислота, виступають донорами атому гідрогену по відношенню до феноксильних радикалів, сприяючи таким чином регенерації первинних антиоксидантів. Їх дія дозволяє знизити кількість фенольних сполук, підвищує кислотність середовища, що сприяє стабільності первинних антиоксидантів. Розглянуто вплив аскорбінової кислоти та токоферолу на жировмісні продукти з метою стабілізації. Запропоновано використання висушених виноградних вичавок, як джерело ресвератрола. Ресвератрол – поліфенол, синтезується у листках винограду, представляє собою рослинний антибіотик – фітонцид, володіє антиоксидантними властивостями, який переважає за активністю вітамін С – у 20 разів, токоферол у 50 разів. Таким чином вирішується питання, щодо утилізації відходів виноробної галузі, та завдяки унікальним властивостям ресвератрола збільшується термін придатності харчових продуктів не погіршуючи органолептичні показники та харчову цінність. Застосування новітніх технологій у виробництві м'ясо - молочних продуктів відкриває широкі можливості для поліпшення якості продукції та її корисності для споживача. Ці технології стають дорогоцінним інструментом для покращення смаку, консистенції та властивостей продуктів, гарантуючи їх безпеку та тривалий термін зберігання, а головне - задоволення конкретних потреб споживачів. Проте, важливо зберігати баланс між технологічними досягненнями та збереженням природних якостей продуктів, а також дбати про екологічність виробництва.
КРАФТОВЕ ХЛІБОПЕЧЕННЯ ЯК АСПЕКТ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ХАРЧОВОЇ ІДЕНТИЧНОСТІ

Published: October 2024

Їжа є невід’ємною частиною нашої особистості, яка формується різними факторами, такими як наше соціальне та фізичне середовище. На наш індивідуальний вибір їжі впливають продукти, які вирощують або продають в наших географічних регіонах, продукти, які споживали наші предки та споживають наші друзі та родина. Національні цінності, культурна спадщина та соціальні тенденції також відіграють важливу роль у формуванні харчових уподобань. Шари нашої ідентичності сприяють унікальному значенню їжі та разом створюють культуру їжі. Розуміння культури харчування вимагає аналізу наших власних точок зору, щоб використовувати особисті, суспільні та культурні цінності, припущення, норми та упередження. Метою статті є аналіз поняття харчової ідентичності, етнічності та автентичності їжі, визначення ролі хліба як важливого аспекту національної культури та української харчової ідентичності. Окреслено, що автентична українська кухня характеризується використанням місцевих інгредієнтів, традиційними технологіями приготування та різноманітністю страв, що відображають історію, географію та культурну спадщину країни. Безумовно, хліб, як продукт, є одним з основних джерел харчування для багатьох людей по всьому світу. Він відіграє ключову роль в харчуванні та має довгу історію в різних культурах. Цікаво, що в різних країнах хліб може мати різні форми, смаки та способи приготування, що відображає культурні та традиційні особливості цих народів. Відзначено, що в Україні хлібна культура має велике значення, особливо зважаючи на різноманіття хлібобулочних виробів. Традиційні страви з борошна, зерна та круп часто використовуються під час родинних святкувань та релігійних обрядів. Це свідчить про важливість хліба у культурі українців. У статті проаналізовано автентичні хлібопекарські традиції деяких регіонів України, виділено важливі сучасні тенденції у сегменті виробництва хліба. Сьогодні ресторани, дрібні та крафтові пекарні працюють над урізноманітненням рецептур, видів і форм хліба, вивчають та відроджують давні традиції українського хлібопечення, практикують і популяризують виготовлення ремісничого, домашнього, сільського хліба.

Дослідження інструментарію проєктно-аналітичної діяльності при інтелектуалізації економічних систем, обґрунтуванні системи стратегій розвитку та векторів спрямування start-up проєктів виступає методичним завданням для українських підприємств, котрі потребують інноваційних рішень при активізації потенціалу на відбудову в умовах війни та повоєнного відновлення. В статті описано стратегічні засади управління потенціалом розвитку в умовах інтелектуалізації економічних систем. Це дозволило обґрунтувати параметричну модель «активізації резервів потенціалу розвитку» («ADPR») для вибору стратегічних напрямів активізації та реалізації потенціалу розвитку економічної системи, та матрицю активізації резервів в управлінні ресурсозабезпеченням, акумулюванням, ефективністю та імплементацією результатів стартапування, («РАЕІ»). В статті на основі матриці РАІЕ побудовано площину вибору стратегії розвитку економічної системи в умовах інтелектуалізації, що відображає спрямованість впливу обраної функціональної стратегії на вектори реалізації start-up проєктів. Авторами запропоновано на завершення проєктно-аналітичної діяльності здійснювати аналітику впливу сукупності параметрів активізації резервів потенціалу розвитку на ефективність інтелектуалізації.
Musical education and resilience: A path to economic and emotional empowerment for rural children
Authors: RAMÍREZ GONZÁLEZ EDGAR , Pimentel-Aguilar Silvia
Published: October 2024

Objectives: (1) To identify the various factors that facilitate or hinder the development and consolidation of musical education for rural children; (2) to assess whether child harassment and bullying towards girls exists in a rural community; and (3) to analyze how the practice of music promotes a personal and economic empowerment —factors that facilitate resilience— among boys and girls.Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative research methodology was used. The unit of analysis comprised the child population of the Tepexilotla community, located within the mesophilic cloud forest in the Altas Montañas region of Veracruz. The sample of children was self-selected and comprised the participants in a musical group project that started with flutes. Based on participant and anecdotal observation, four thematic axes were selected: (1) musical education, (2) child harassment and bullying, (3) resilience, and (4) child empowerment.Results: Initially, 26 children participated —18 boys and eight girls. Boys had a larger learning territory because some girls suffered harassment and/or bullying by their classmates during lessons or on the way from home to school. This conduct led to a gradual drop-out among the girls in the group. After the departure of the music teacher, the presence and institutional accompaniment of the Colegio de Postgraduados strengthened group resilience through music master classes. Currently, most group members have become young independent musicians playing in different musical groups —an activity that enhances their economic, personal, and familyempowerment.Study limitations/implications: The study was conducted only among the child population of a rural microregion;it is not a quantitative study.Findings/Conclusions: Gender characteristics as construed under the patriarchy have a detrimental influence on the musical education of girls. On the other hand, they benefit boys by replicating the private space for girls and the public one for boys. Hence, boys have more opportunities for formative education, while girls see their educational development prevented or limited, which harms their future female economic empowerment. However, rural musical training is a splendid educational resource that strengthens economic and cultural empowerment opportunities among rural children and youth.

Objective: To characterize the current condition of home gardens in the Ejido Nueva Esperanza 1st Section,Palenque, Chiapas.Methodology: A semi-structured interview was conducted with 43 families to determine socioeconomic conditions, garden characteristics, floristic composition, and their uses (satisfaction). Gardens were categorized by size (small, medium, and large) and location (center, intermediate, and periphery of the community). Data were analyzed descriptively to obtain frequencies, percentages, and averages. Additionally, Shannon-Wiener (H') and Simpson (S) diversity indices were calculated according to size and location.Results: Families were found to be below the poverty line, with agriculture as their primary activity. A total of 3549 individuals were recorded, grouped into 46 botanical families, 82 genera, and 89 species. Native species were the most dominant at 52%. There were 33 tree species, 33 herbaceous species, 15 shrubs, 5 rosettes, and 3 arborescent species. Families reported using plants for fruit, medicinal purposes, ornamentation, horticulture, timber, condiments, fuel (firewood), and medicinal-horticultural purposes, primarily for self-consumption. The highest number of individuals recorded were fruit trees, with 28 species. Small (H´   = 2.8), intermediate(H  '= 2.6), and peripheral (H´´´  =2.6) gardens showed higher diversity similar to Fisher’s alpha.Implications: This study highlights the importance of floristic composition and plant species diversity in home gardens concerning the uses attributed by families.Conclusion: The diversity and composition of plant species in home gardens are determined by their location and size, as well as the value of use that the family attaches to them

The Investment Component of Tax Policy under Wartime
Authors:   American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, Poliakov Mykhailo Yo.
Published: October 2024

The aim of the article is to summarize scientific approaches to the investment component of the State’s tax policy and develop recommendations for the formation of an investment-friendly tax environment in Ukraine during the wartime. The article examines the relationship between investment and economic growth in the EU countries in 1992–2022. It is determined that investments are one of the drivers of economic growth. An analysis of the measures taken by the authorities of countries with developed and transforming economies to intensify investment flows is carried out. In particular, considerable attention is paid to tax instruments to stimulate investment. The main ones are: a) reduction of the tax burden in the field of capital taxation; b) use of investment tax incentives; c) improving the conditions for cross-border capital movements; d) provision of targeted tax benefits for the payment of other taxes – for example, social deductions for newly created jobs in compliance with the conditions established by the State. The features of investment processes during the wartime and intended for the post-war recovery are studied. For example, in Japan in the post-war period, the emphasis of the State policy was shifted in favor of attracting private investment to the country’s economy. This country successfully applied «technology transfer», while technological developments of the United States and European countries were imported for the development of the main branches of the national industry. In the post-World War II period, European states improved the institutional environment for attracting foreign investment, including deregulation of entrepreneurship and liberalization of trade relations. It is substantiated that due to the current significant needs for financing military operations, Ukraine cannot yet implement a system of investment tax benefits. It is determined that the priority measures of tax policy, which will contribute to increasing the confidence of economic agents and strengthening their investment activity, are the following: compliance with the stability and predictability of this policy, systematic measures in the field of de-shadowing the economy; simplification and further digitalization of the tax administration mechanism; transition to European taxation practices that will directly or indirectly promote investment in the innovative production.
Control and Assessment of Personnel Activities as Elements of the Personnel Management System
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Shulla Roman S. , Popyk Mariana M. ,   Uzhhorod National University
Published: October 2024

The article examines the problem of control and evaluation of personnel activity as a tool for improving the efficiency of economic activity of enterprise. It is proved that in the sphere of hotel and restaurant business, the introduction of tools for monitoring and evaluating the activities of personnel plays a key role in improving the efficiency of the enterprise, since the labor resource in the sphere of service provision has a decisive impact on the results of the economic process. The necessity of distinguishing a broad and narrow interpretation of the concept of «personnel management» has been substantiated. It is proved that in a broad interpretation the term «personnel management» covers managerial functions aimed at the labor resource from the moment of initiation of relations at the stage of job search and until the moment of the employee’s departure from the labor process of enterprise. In a narrow interpretation, personnel management means the influence of the manager on the organizational behavior of a subordinate at the stage of realizing his labor potential when performing operations within the framework of the economic process. It has been found that the activity of management, which is aimed at such an object as «personnel», in accordance with the method of implementation of managerial influence, can be considered in the aspect of structural or interactive management of personnel. It is noted that structural management is the creation of conditions for the realization of the labor potential of personnel, and interactive management involves the implementation of managerial influence on personnel through the information and communication process, which takes place between the manager and the subordinate. It has been found that management with the help of instrumental variables influences the behavior of the performer in order to stimulate him to achieve the planned result. It is proved that the key instrument of structural influence on personnel is the system of internal control, which allows to identify deviations of actual results from planned ones and apply on this basis mechanisms of stimulation of personnel in order to increase the efficiency of its activities.

Multimodal Teaching and Learning in the EFL College Classroom
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: October 2024

Multimodal learning refers to teaching strategies that involve multiple sensory systems simultaneously. Teachers can create materials for students with different learning styles (auditory, visual, kinesthetic reading, and writing). Multimodal learning keeps students engaged, encourages them to apply what they learn in real-life situations, provides more variety, and develops learner autonomy. This study proposes a model for developing listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar skills in EFL using multimodal language learning activities such as task-based, project-based, problem-solving questions, debates, and student-created podcasts and digital stories. The students can look for videos or photos related to a current global event, summarize the content, write a short paragraph about it,  or post their reactions in a class blog. To develop listening and speaking skills, the students may engage in role-playing, dramatization, inviting a guest to class, conducting interviews and giving an oral presentation about a topic. To develop students’ vocabulary knowledge, vocabulary flashcards, game-based mobile apps, concordance-based glosses, online dictionaries, picture viewing and picture drawing on tablets, e-portfolios, teaching idioms via multimedia annotations and graphic novels can be used. Technologies such as Vicaroo, Kahoot, Slido and Padlet can be integrated. Multimodal learning tasks can be performed individually, in pairs or in small groups, interactively or collaboratively, synchronously or asynchronously. To engage, motivate and encourage student-student and student-instructor interaction, WhatsApp, ConnectYard, creating a community of inquiry, learning partnership, collaborative writing exchange projects, social interaction, and integrating text-chat and webcam can be used. Further multimodal activities and examples will be given.

Метою статті є визначення особливостей дизайну цифрового контенту для здобувачів початкової освіти у контексті аналізу колористики, типографіки та композиції цифрових навчальних матеріалів. Методами дослідження слугували: метод аналізу науково-педагогічної літератури, припущення, методи порівняння, систематизації та класифікації даних, метод узагальнення. Допоміжними методами дослідження стали метод інформаційного пошуку, а також бібліографічний метод. Результати дослідження засвідчили, що проблема дизайну цифрового освітнього контенту для молодших школярів є надзвичайно актуальною на сучасному етапі реформування початкової освіти, адже глобальна цифровізація навчальних матеріалів потребує інноваційних підходів до їх якісного оформлення. У статті акцентується увага на трьох основних компонентах дизайну цифрового освітнього контенту: композиції, колористиці та типографіці, вдале поєднання яких підвищує результати візуального сприймання інформації молодшими школярами. З’ясовано, що типологія цифрового освітнього контенту початкової школи включає в себе не тільки традиційні мультимедійні презентації, а й шкільні веб-сайти, розважальний освітній контент, відеоролики, відеоінструкції, мультимедійні посібники, буклети, художні освітні проекції тощо, створення яких вимагає від педагога інноваційних дизайнерських рішень. Визначено, що у навчанні дітей молодшого шкільного віку необхідно чергувати різні типи цифрового контенту, відповідно до психологічних особливостей цього вікового періоду. Відтак способи дизайнерського оформлення цифрових начальних матеріалів теж мають ґрунтуватися на засадах індивідуалізації й особистої орієнтації у навчанні. Результати дослідження привели до таких висновків: якісно оформлений цифровий освітній контент дозволяє інтенсифікувати процес навчання молодших школярів, активізувати їх креативність, підвищити рівень пізнавального інтересу. Проектування цифрового навчального контенту на основі сучасних рішень освітнього дизайну дозволяє створити унікальну траєкторію навчання для кожного учня.

Making a career decision is often challenging among students for which they are expected to decide on a career in times of uncertainty that will have an impact on the rest of their lives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing undergraduate students’ career decision and to propose recommendations aimed to rectify career indecisions. The independent variables chosen for this research are extrinsic factors, intrinsic factors, and interpersonal factors, which is derived based on the tri-dimensional model of career choice proposed by Carpenter and Foster (1977). An additional independent variable which is industrial training was added as an extension of the research framework as it is perceived to potentially influence undergraduate students’ career decision as well. All data were collected from 200 undergraduate students from a private university using questionnaires and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Version 22). The study results indicate that intrinsic factors are the most influential in affecting undergraduate students’ career decision which is followed by interpersonal factors. However, extrinsic factors and industrial training were found to have insignificant relationship with career decision making.

The key role in healthcare system organizing belongs to the improvement of computer systems’ software that is applied already. The most promising development direction consists in creating and introducing of neural networks based on deep machine learning principle. A medicine in general and an oncology in particular actively use modern computer technologies walking along with the world. This article is observed the most promising ways of computer programs usage based on artificial neural network model and their potential in oncology practice. An information about innovative developments for last 10 years was taken from PubMed and Google Scholar data bases. The search queries included following terms: «artificial intelligence», «cancer», «radiotherapy and computer modelling» and other vocabulary and thematic forms. As a result, 19 literary sources were used. A variety of using scenarios of artificial intelligence integrated computer programs significantly expands bioengineering facilities. An artificial intelligence is already used for analyzing of histological sections, cytograms and etc. A new science discipline named “Radiomics” has appeared. Radiomics implies integration of artificial intelligence in “X-ray” and genomic map of patients which are under antitumor therapy.

Purpose: to evaluate the effect of the level of the lower extremities’ traumatic amputation on the prolactin in Paralympic athletes. Materials and methods: medical examination data of 150 athletes with traumatic amputations of the lower extremities (members of national teams of the Russian Federation) was analyzed, athletes’ average age was 34,25 ± 9,17 years, were analyzed, among them women – 29 (19.3%), men – 121 (80.7%). Results: it was revealed that in Paralympic athletes with unilateral amputations, the level of prolactin was statistically significantly higher with loss of a limb at the hip level (163.00 and 227.40 µIU/ml, respectively, p = 0.004), when comparing hormone concentrations in athletes with bilateral amputations no statistically significant differences were found in the level of both legs and both thighs (p = 0.364). Conclusion: athletes with hip amputations have statistically significantly higher prolactin levels than athletes with calf amputations.

A pilot study of the use of psychophysiological functional tests in rowing slalom athletes of different levels of sports skill was conducted. To determine psychophysiological limitations while maintaining balance, the effectiveness of balancing was carried out under the control of electromyography (EMG) of the frontal muscles of the forehead and electroencephalography (EEG) in the frontoparietal lead along the sagittal line (Fz-Pz). The results of the study showed the dependence of the distribution of functional muscle tone and the tone of facial muscles on the qualification category of the athlete. The use of functional tests in a psychophysiological examination, taking into account the type-specific nature of the sport, allows us to determine the relevant zones for the psychophysiological growth of an athlete.

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissue that develops mainly between the ages of 15 and 45 years. Thanks to the successes in the development of modern oncohematology, today the proportion of complete remissions among patients reaches 90%. However, excellent survival rates also come with a high risk of long-term complications, one of which is decreased bone mineral density, including osteoporosis. Dynamic processes of modeling and remodeling continuously occur inside the bone, which depend on many internal and external factors acting in different directions. In patients with an established diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, there are risk factors specific to this category of patients: the effect on the body of the tumor process and highly toxic chemotherapy drugs as part of pathogenetic treatment; and nonspecific, widespread throughout the population. Among the nonspecific factors, this review identified and examined gender, weight-to-height ratio, smoking and alcohol abuse, physical inactivity, as well as the presence of osteoporosis and fractures in the family history. The development of osteoporosis in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a subject of discussion is still only gaining interest among researchers. Differentiation of risk factors for decreased bone mineral density in this category of patients is a very pressing problem in the current reality of the lack of official clinical recommendations for the diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis in young patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, and also due to the small amount of published material on this topic.
Altgermanische Paarformeln mit der Bedeutung ‚überall‘

Old Germanic binomials meaning ‘everywhere’In the present article, it is initially asserted that the determination of whether a binomial is fixed (and therefore phraseological) or if it constitutes an ad hoc formation (and is thus non-phraseological) can pose challenges within historical corpora. These challenges are exemplified through an analysis of expressions denoting ‘forest and field’ as attested in some of the Old Germanic languages. Following this, three additional binomials conveying the meaning ‘everywhere’, as attested in the Old Germanic languages, are discussed and reconstructed for Proto-Germanic. The article illustrates that problems identified in determining the original word order of the discussed binomials can be solved by employing both the salience principle, which posits that the more significant element in a binomial linearly precedes the less important, and formal principles.
A Post COVID Look at African American Students in Higher Education: The Challenges to Academic Completion and Economic Stability
Authors: Simon DeShea
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of students from a historically black college, on the correlation between race and economic inequality for African Americans due to a lack of access to a quality education experience. Throughout history, minorities have faced systemic disadvantages and discrimination, which have had lasting effects on their economic opportunities. A lack of access to quality resources, such as education, can further perpetuate these disparities, making it harder for individuals to break the cycle of poverty. Limited education can hinder career advancement, and wage growth for minorities, widening the income gap. This lack of education can perpetuate economic hardship across generations.
