The article defines the essence, functions, and types of state financial control. State financial control is an integral part of the management of economic objects and processes, which consists of observing the object to verify the compliance of the object of observation with the desired and necessary state. The task of state financial control is defined. The main functions of state financial control are highlighted. The main problems and the need to improve the system of state financial control in Ukraine were considered, and the State Control and Audit Service’s activity in financial control was investigated. The theoretical principles of determining the essence, role, and place of state financial control in the system of financial activity of the state have been studied as an organic component of the market economy – an essential factor in achieving a balance between market relations and state regulation in order to achieve a strategic effect based on the consequences of their interaction. It was noted that it is necessary to form such a system that could respond to the numerous problems of the market economy, and state financial policy would cover all levels of the economy and would be integrally built on uniform methodological and organizational principles. The need to bring state financial control and audit of the use of state funds to international standards of state financial control has been proven, which will make it possible to improve the management of budget processes at all levels of budgets, interaction, and coordination of control bodies in the implementation of control measures and management decisions. A mechanism of state financial control and its structure has been developed, ensuring a high degree of preparation for conducting and implementing materials for control measures. It became evident that the methods of state financial control and their essence depend on the form of control considering the proposed mechanism. Measures to improve state financial control are proposed. The organizational structure of the unified system of state financial control is defined.

Published: November 2023

One of the most efficient branches of the agro-industrial complex is the poultry industry, which provides the highest yield per unit of spent material and technical resources. The poultry industry is characterized by the absence of seasonality in production, which ensures uniform income and use of labor resources, as well as uninterrupted supply of products to the population. The most important factor in the development of the industry is the existence of a balanced market. In the conditions of significant import dependence that remains, improving the formation of the domestic market for poultry products is one of the urgent tasks of science and practice, the solution of which will allow to saturate the market with dietary and high-quality food products. The article substantiates the factors of the rapid growth of production of poultry products: the lowest costs compared to other types of livestock for obtaining an increase of 1 kg of live weight; activation of investment investments; technical and technological renewal of the material base and expansion of production capacities; quality improvement of genetic material; use of modern marketing tools; state of supply and demand; competitive environment; favorable characteristics of the geographical, natural-climatic and demographic aspects of the placement of regional markets; Orientation when placing poultry enterprises on vertical integration, including proximity to the fodder base; state financial support of the industry. The production of poultry meat during 2000-2023 and chicken eggs was analyzed. A detailed review of the supply of poultry products on the markets and the reasons for its change during 2021-2023 was conducted. The state and prospects for the development of export-import operations on regional poultry markets and Ukraine’s participation in these processes are disclosed. It is well-founded that future success is determined by planning all business processes not for the long term; the existence/absence of grain agreements at the international level; the conjuncture of similar foreign goods and world prices compared to national offers; prolongation of state financial support for the industry; natural and climatic conditions of the coming years, which determine, together with the innovation and investment renewal of enterprises in the industry, the prospects for feed prices, production volumes, product prices and consumer demand volumes.

The article examines the current state of material motivation of agrarian labor in agricultural enterprises of the natural and economic zone of the Western Polissia of Ukraine, and evaluates the dynamics and level of labor remuneration and its productivity. The main directions of labor productivity growth based on the formation and implementation of an effective motivational mechanism in each agrarian formation of the region are outlined. Among the main factors that affect the motivation of work in the agricultural sector: the importance of the availability of human capital; collective nature of work; risky nature of agricultural production; dynamism and complexity of agricultural processes; responsibility for the quality and timeliness of agro-technological operations, etc. The development of the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy in the conditions of the European integration perspective requires adequate changes in the system of distribution of the created aggregate product, control, registration, taxation of a significant part of the population’s monetary income and a comprehensively justified policy in the sphere of wages and taxation. Therefore, one of the factors of the strategic development of the agrarian economy is the orientation of production on the European integration path of development based on competitive relations, the activation of targeted efforts of agricultural workers, the development of their creative initiative and entrepreneurship, the search for and involvement of internal reserves in production.
Functional foods are essential components of nutrition
Authors: Solomon A.
Published: November 2023

The most common category of functional nutrition is fermented milk products, which normalize the intestinal microflora and increase the immune status of the human body. Fermented milk products are characterized by high biological and nutritional values. This means a high degree of balance in the amino acid composition of milk proteins, compared to the so-called ideal food protein, the amino acid composition of which meets the needs of the human body. In addition, the proteins of fermented milk products are well digested by proteolytic enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract. The main casein proteins are capable of being broken down equally well by proteolytic enzymes in their native and denatured states. The macroorganism and intestinal microflora are a relatively stable and balanced ecological system, the balance of which, on the one hand, is determined by the physiological and immunological characteristics of the macroorganism, on the other, by the species and quantitative composition of microbial associations and the diversity of their biological activity. In a normal physiological state, the relationship between the macroorganism and the microflora is symbiotic in nature, and the latter has a significant impact on the general immunity and natural resistance of the host to infections, takes an active part in the processes of digestion and the synthesis of various biologically active substances. In turn, the macroorganism regulates the composition of the intestinal microflora due to factors such as the acidity of gastric juice and the content of bile salts. Fermented dairy products are the main suppliers of probiotic microorganisms that contribute to the maintenance and restoration of human microbial ecology. Probiotic cultures that provide beneficial effects on the consumer’s body and normalize the composition and functions of the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract include such types of lacto- and bifidobacteria as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium spp. (B. adolescentis, B. animalis ssp. lactis, B. bifidum, B. longum, B. breve).

Bridging unemployment gaps through ICT Bootcamps: A reality or precarity to equitable learning?
Authors: Dzvapatsva Godwin Pedzisai , Risinamhodzi David Tatenda , Matobobo Courage
Published: November 2023

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift to skills development in ICT due to the demand for low to middle-income jobs. We provide an in-depth guide to ICT bootcamps in this article for organizations in developing countries that are interested in participating in producing low to middle-level skills and reducing unemployment rates in previously disadvantaged communities, rather than relying solely on universities and technical vocational education centres. Using questionnaires, data was collected from a single case of an ICT bootcamp located in previously disadvantaged communities of the Cape Flats. The questionnaire was completed by 92 participants. Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) was used in this study to analyse the success of ICT bootcamps in the context of skill development. As a bootcamp, SLCA's success is dependent on the degree to which it provides an equitable learning environment that reflects equity, diversity, and inclusion. Making sure students' social, psychological, economic, and academic needs are met is a key recommendation for creating equitable learning environments. Our findings are based on the findings of a single case study. More case studies would strengthen our argument. Nonetheless, we believe our research has provided a solid foundation for future coding bootcamp literature.

Published: November 2023

The lack of inclusive governance and collaboration among various stakeholders and institutions to develop long-term strategies to alleviate food insecurity is an emerging pandemic during times of distress. The objective of the study is to develop an anti-corruption mechanism (food distribution aptitude for eligibility) that can remedy the structural implications of food parcel corruption during a pandemic. A qualitative exploratory review approach was adopted in the study. The reviewed studies revealed that the currently existing systems of food distribution failed due to poor recipient identification and vetting, systems manipulation by officials, lack of tracking devices during distribution, and ghost recipients. The study concludes that the divisions, bureaucracy, maladministration and corruption revealed in literature among the government have adversely impacted the welfare of the vulnerable and marginalized groups who reside in the informal settlements. Those in need of food parcels suffer at the hands of corrupt officials and their family members due to an unmonitored distribution scheme. The study model is expected to assist non-profit organizations, and government initiatives in selecting worthy beneficiaries during and post pandemics. The model is also expected to assist in removing the potential ills of the system, minimize system manipulation and corruption, and ensure transparency during food parcel distribution to the needy in times of distress.

Published: November 2023

This study primary is to investigate the shear strength of self-compacting concrete (SCC) reinforced by steel-fiber (SF) and polypropylene-fiber (PPF) in different environmental conditions: the air, sulfate (MgSO4 with a concentration of 5%) and acid (H2SO4 with a concentration of 5%). The study also examines the effect of fiber volume fraction on the workability, shear strength, compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength of fiber reinforced SCC. The article aims to determine the durability effects of both fibers and their resistance to aggressive environmental conditions. The contribution of this article is an experimental investigation on the shear strength of SCC reinforced by SF as well as PPF in 3 different environmental conditions after 30 days of exposure. The study also investigated the fresh and mechanical properties of 5 different mixtures of SCC with/out 0.1% and 0.2% fibers. The study also concluded that PPF decreased the workability of SCC badly, and special care must be taken when selecting its volume fraction. Also, it was found that generally shear strength of SCC mixes enhanced with increasing SF and PPF volume fraction. Moreover, it was found that both fibers have good durability effects, and resist aggressive environmental conditions, with the best results obtained from samples containing 0.2% SF. In the air condition, while the compressive strength, shear strength and tensile strength results were 52.6MPa, 6.43MPa and 3.91MPa, in the sulfate condition those were 46.37MPa, 6.55MPa and 3.59MPa, and in the acid condition those were 34.4MPa, 5.5MPa and 3.46MPa, respectively.

A Comparative Study of Cosmogony in the Ancient World: Focusing on Mesopotamia, Judaism, and Plato
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Yoo Byungwoo
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to compare the ancient Mesopotamian cosmogony, the Jewish cosmogony centered on the Book of Ezekiel, and Plato's cosmogony centered on the myth of Er, and reveal their commonalities and causes. Although academic interest in civilizational exchanges in the ancient world is increasing due to the excavation of ancient Near Eastern literature, the aim is to trace the cultural fusion between the three cultures representing ancient times in a situation where the Western Greek cultural tradition, which claims to be a purely indigenous culture, is still dominant. Among these, it is largely accepted that the Mesopotamian civilization had a great influence on Greece, especially in astronomy. Regarding Judaism, only its uniqueness is still emphasized. Thompson's view that Babylonian literature compares the universe to a furnace proves that there are significant similarities between the cosmogony of Ezekiel and the Mesopotamian cosmogony. Bergren's research also provided a link to connect the Greek cosmogony with the cosmogony of the Book of Ezekiel.

Poetic Possibility of Sympathy and Communication in Wordsworth’s “We Are Seven”
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Jeon Hayoung
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the poetic possibilities of sympathy and communication through a ‘close reading’ of William Wordsworth’s short poem, “We Are Seven,” published at the end of the 18th century to mark the beginning of British Romanticism. Sympathy and communication are being re-examined as essential human values in this era of advanced technological development. Still, these topics were actively discussed in the British intellectual community in the 18th century. Against the backdrop of the intellectual discourses on sympathy, “We Are Seven” is a great example poem of communicative poetics based on sympathy; even though the conflicting arguments of two characters over death end up with the poetic impasse and unresolved uncertainty, which, this paper argues, make it paradoxically possible to open a new space for the possibility of sympathy and communication by deconstructing the existing hierarchy and order of discourses.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Dong Yiru
Published: November 2023

This study aims to compare movies with distinct characteristics that utilize jazz to grasp the usage patterns of jazz in film music and to investigate the cinematic approach to the jazz genre in contemporary Hollywood films. For this research, Terence Blanchard's Malcolm X(1992), John Williams' Catch Me If You Can(2002), and Justin Hurwitz's La La Land(2016) were selected and researched; the conclusion was as follows. First, trumpeter Terence Blanchard faithfully served the cinematic function by utilizing jazz, a pillar of Black music. Second, Traditional Hollywood film composer John Williams fused symphonic sound with the jazz genre. Third, Justin Hurwitz crafted music by embracing the characteristics of the musical film. The music had a close relationship with the film's narrative structure and played a significant role throughout the film. As comparative analysis based on the research findings, the diverse cinematic approaches to the jazz genre were influenced by the film's structure and the composer's musical inclinations. According to this, distinctions appeared in the underscore, source music, and cinematic function of music depending on the film. However, they also coexisted with common elements, such as classical music's foundations and leitmotif techniques.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of English track international students and the issues and tasks of Korean language education for them, and to present directions. A survey on the needs of English track international student at D-University in Busan and interviews with related administrative and Korean language education experts were conducted. The questionnaire included the current status and satisfaction of Korean language classes, composition, and direction of education. English track international students are not essential to learn Korean because the admission criteria and major teaching language are English, and the purpose of learning was to adapt to Korean and college life. Interest in Korean classes was high, but satisfaction was moderate. Speaking and writing, vocabulary and grammar were selected as areas to learn, and topics related to real life and college life were preferred. There was also an opinion that modern culture, social studies and economics, and employment subjects should be opened as English track liberal arts. Although the number of participants is limited, this study is meaningful in that it examines the characteristics and curriculum of English track international students that will increase in the future and discusses issues and tasks.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the translation of Korean culture-bound lexis into English, identify any translation problems that arise, and discuss the preferred direction for translation. In order to achieve this goal, the focus was placed on , which is released through Netflix's official channel, and extracted 40 Korean culture-bound lexis for analysis and the translation aspects of these lexis into English were divided into seven strategies. As a result, indirect translation strategies were frequently employed instead of direct translations. In such cases, various techniques such as transposition, modulation, equivalence and adaptation were utilized, particularly when significant cultural differences existed in terms of material, social, and linguistic culture. Through this, it was confirmed that the indirect translation strategy for domestification is mainly used in media translation. In an era when Korean culture is gaining global recognition through diverse media platforms, this study aims to provide valuable insight into translating culture-bound lexis that accurately reflect the core values and unique characteristics of Korean culture.

Published: November 2023

This study examined the perceptions and attitudes of elementary school students in Korea facing a generative artificial intelligence environment in the digital media environment. At the level of the national curriculum in Korea, this study looked at the current status of software education encountered by elementary school students, and analyzed surveys on smartphone use, YouTube and online/mobile games for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. As a result of the study, there was more time spending to watch YouTube related to non-learning than learning, and the trust in the information encountered on YouTube was high. As a result of a survey on media education experience, the proportion of students who received “education on how to distinguish whether information provided online is true or not” was lower than that of other media education. Therefore, the ability to understand and evaluate the media does not arise by itself as time increases, and it requires a critical perspective and conscious effort to acquire and use information. Finally, it is important to raise awareness of the education students received.

Published: November 2023

This paper attempted to examine digital literacy in writing using artificial intelligence and find a reasonable application plan to suit future writing. Today, the development of conversational artificial intelligence platforms enables information sharing and is being applied to writing in various forms. However, since there are pros and cons to using artificial intelligence in writing, it is necessary to closely examine the current application standards and apply them to academic writing. Considering this situation, this paper attempted to examine desirable legal standards and unreasonable cases, focusing on the application of ChatGPT (conversational artificial intelligence), which was launched in early 2023. In addition, it was designed to check in advance inappropriate results in writing using ChatGPT by referring to the opinions of philosophers who proposed creative writing. Today, finding a direction that suits reality is an important task in writing using artificial intelligence, so this study will help find timely value and future predictability.
