The Republic of Guinea has outstanding mineral resources. An analysis of current data has shown that in the near future this country will maintain its leading position in the world in the extraction and export of bauxite, as well as increase the production and export of alumina. Guinea has significant potential to develop large and rich iron ore deposits, but the development of this industry is hampered by the lack of infrastructure and an unstable geopolitical situation. Gold mining is successfully developing in the Siguiri ore region, where new promising deposits are discovered almost every year and new mines are put into operation. Guinea’s diamond deposits are among the most famous in West Africa and the world as a whole. However, the fall in global diamond prices in recent years has led to a slowdown in exploration, a lack of major discoveries and, consequently, a reduction in exports.

Published: September 2024

The production of concrete mixes, along with their use in the production of building materials and structures, is one of the key processes in the construction industry during the construction, restoration and repair of buildings and structures. Because of this, the need to create modern concrete mixing plants that will meet the requirements of minimum energy consumption and maximum productivity of concrete mixture production is an urgent task. Not only the main operations, which include the dosing of the components of the mixture and their mixing, but also the maintenance operations, namely operations that ensure the timely movement of the components of the concrete mixture from warehouses to the main technological equipment, affect the set rhythm of the concrete mixture production. Conveyors of various types and designs are used to move bulk materials, such as crushed stone and sand.
For the rational selection of such equipment in accordance with the characteristics of the cargo to be transported, knowledge of the types of conveyors, their structures and parameters, understanding of operation issues and methods of parameter calculation are required. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the following parameters: maximum cargo transportation productivity, low energy consumption per unit of moved products, low metal content of the structure.
The work reviewed the most common designs of conveyors used to move bulk materials in concrete mixing plants, analyzed the disadvantages and advantages of conveyors, as well as technical parameters. As a result, the predominant directions for the use of belt and plate conveyors at construction enterprises were determined. The advantages of belt conveyors, which contribute to their widespread distribution, are high productivity, simplicity of design, reliability, quiet operation, low specific power consumption.
When choosing a conveyor, it is recommended to choose the equipment with the highest productivity and the lowest power of the drive motors, however, the performance should be clearly related to other technological equipment.

Published: September 2024

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to study the patterns of wear and develop a technology for restoring the tail part of the cutter body of the road cutter. They conducted an analysis of the wear of the cutters and found that most of them are suitable for use, since the shape of the carbide tip has not changed much and can still be used for grinding asphalt-concrete mixture. Methodology/approach. The method of restoration of the caudal part of the body of the incisors was developed and proposed. The recovery route is as follows: 1. Cleaning the incisor. 2. Heating the tail part of the cutter with a propane-oxygen flame. 3. Plastic deformation of the cutter body in the die. 4. Air cooling. 5. Control measurement of size changes. The recommended heat treatment temperature for plastic deformation depends on the concentration of carbon and alloying elements of the steel, and lies in the temperature range from 800 to 1280°С, the heating time is 1.33 min. Before distribution, the body of the cutter was heated using a propane-oxygen flame. Deposition was carried out in a closed die with the help of a special Poisson. A cutter head was placed in the matrix, on which a guide with a punch was installed. The developed technology of restoration of the tail part of the incisor by handing. Findings. According to the proposed technology, the tail part of the cutter body is distributed from 0.04 mm to 0.73 mm per side. Research limitations/implications. In this way, the cutters of the road cutters are restored to almost the dimensions of a new part, which enables repeated use.
Analysis of motivations for treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma
Authors:   Leningrad Regional Clinical Hospital, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Zaporozhets L.A.
Published: September 2024

Background: one of the keys to maintaining good vision in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is regular use of medications to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). Many authors report that adherence to treatment in glaucoma ranges from 5% to 80%. The basic types of motivation are extrinsic and intrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is driven by human needs to achieve one's own well-being. In extrinsic motivation, the patient is influenced from outside and is considered more productive. Aim: to analyze the motivation for treatment in patients with early POAG. Patients and Methods: 60 patients (120 eyes) with early POAG were examined. All patients were prescribed IOP-lowering eye drops to maintain target IOP. Questionnaires were used to assess motivation for regular treatment. Patient complaints, presence or absence of optical coherence tomography abnormalities, presence or absence of ocular comorbidities, number of IOP-lowering medications used, number of instillations per day, and patient awareness of glaucoma were considered as potential motivators. Results: the effect of each factor on compliance was analyzed. High statistical power was achieved only for the evaluation of the effect of patient awareness of glaucoma. The study of the other factors listed above showed that, regardless of the degree of reliability of the results, they do not have a significant impact on compliance and therefore do not contribute to the emergence of motivation for regular instillation of IOP-lowering medications. Conclusion: widespread dissemination of information about the irreversible progression of glaucoma to blindness significantly increases patient motivation for treatment.

The pathogenetic basis of therapy for patients with dry eye syndrome consists of measures aimed at precorneal tear film restoration, including deficiency compensation of its lipid layer and aqueous mucin layer (with aqueous and mucin components) respectively. Among the numerous medications, artificial tear substitutes based on the sodium hyaluronate are drawing increasing attention. They differ from other lacrimal substitutes by their high hygroscopicity, thixotropy, mucomimeticity and other metabolic properties (biocompatibility, biodegradability, nonimmunogenicity, anti-inflammatory and regenerative activity, etc.). One of the ways to increase the viscosity, ocular surface stability and humectant duration is the cross-linking of hyaluronic acid using so-called "cross-linking agents" (carbodiimide hydrochloride, urea, divinyl sulfone, thiol-ene reaction, etc.). In vitro and in vivo experiments have proven the possibility of using such modified hyaluronic acid as an artificial tear substitute. The article presents a case study of a patient — a student suffering from computer vision syndrome who unsuccessfully used low viscosity tear substitutes while working at a computer. The use of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate 0.2% (hyaluronic acid sodium salt) in the background mode "by feeling" and at intervals of every 1.5 hours while working at the computer, significantly improved the condition of the patient's ocular surface and increased the duration of his "asymptomatic" time working at the computer.

The paper reviews several scientific studies on the economic valuation of water and its importance in different contexts. Different methods used to measure the value of water are suggested, such as integrative valuation of ecosystem services, contingent valuation, revealed valuation, and assessment of willingness to pay for improvements in water quality. Being a review article a metadata analysis was performed in the Scopus platform where the words valuation, economic, water were used, restrictions were applied in relation to: periodicity from 2010 to the present, limited to environmental sciences, economics, econometrics and finance, biological sciences and agriculture; in the titles sciences of the whole environment, environmental management and ecological economics; the filtered language is English in which the scientific articles were written, the main objective is to systematize each of the 100 researches, a base document of consultation for future studies in economic valuation of water is structured. Descriptive analysis was applied using the "R" program, including bibliometrix and biblioshiny. The importance of considering water quality in the estimation of benefits is highlighted, since households are willing to pay more for better quality drinking water. It is mentioned that water quality varies according to perceptions and factors such as age, trust in the authorities, health problems and education. The amount of income in a family is not a determining factor in the willingness to pay for water-related ecosystem services; respondents with higher levels of education and higher incomes are willing to pay more. Studies on the economic valuation of water in different countries, such as China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Kenya and Canada, are reported; these studies use different methods to obtain data on the preferences and willingness to pay of local residents, and the results are used to inform water policy and management decisions. The main conclusion is that water valuations, whether for public, private or intermediate production use, will not have objective significance unless they are accompanied by policies and decision-making by local, sectional, provincial, national authorities and governments of the day that allow for equitable conservation and commercialization for both conservers and users.

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR HOTELS IN THE FIELD OF BUSINESS TOURISM: ANALYSIS OF SUCCESSFUL CASES
Authors:   Private Higher Educational Institution “Kyiv University of Culture”, Kalapusha Leonid
Published: September 2024

The article examines the implementation of innovative projects in the hotel business in the context of the crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine, analyzing the development of the industry in 2021–2024 and demonstrating the potential for innovation. It also schematically describes the project implementation process and considers strategies for business tourism. Innovation is a key feature of the modern economy, especially in times of crisis. The globalization of markets and the need for constant updating emphasize the importance of innovative technologies in the hotel business, where the task is to attract and retain customers, which requires the modernization of technologies and the saving of resources. The tourism industry provides comfortable travel thanks to accommodation facilities with services. In the conditions of high competition, hotels need to innovate in service and offer new services, which requires an effective innovation policy and development strategy. The hospitality business is looking for new ways to increase attractiveness and accessibility through resource, marketing, product and organizational innovations. The underestimation of innovations leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of Ukrainian hotels, while innovations help them take leading positions and meet world standards. The tourism industry market depends on external factors, such as fashion trends, the latest achievements, scientific and technical progress, the mood of residents and tourists, as well as national politics. To succeed in the hospitality industry, business entities must rapidly innovate and implement technology in line with market trends. Crisis processes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and military conflicts, have significantly affected tourism and the hotel business. In Ukraine, the greatest destruction was caused by Russia’s military aggression, which stopped tourist activity and destroyed hotels in the front-line zones. Hotels in major cities were damaged by rocket attacks. Most of the hotels in the east and center of Ukraine stopped working at the beginning of the aggression. From the summer of 2022, some hotels and tourist enterprises are gradually recovering. The progressive development of the tourist and hotel business and the improvement of its competitiveness are ensured by innovations. Therefore, it is necessary to study in detail the processes of implementation and implementation of innovative projects as prerequisites for the effective growth of this sector of the economy. The integration of virtual reality (VR) technology has revolutionized the way business travelers are served by offering virtual tours. Although the use of VR in tourism is still developing, it has great potential to increase customer engagement and satisfaction.
PECULIARITIES OF MIGRATION POLICY IN THE IMPERIAL PERIOD
Authors:   Private Joint-Stock Company “Higher education institution “Interregional Academy of Personnel Management”, Pylypchenko Oleh ,   Law Firm “Oleh Pylypchenko”
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of migration policy in the imperial period. It is noted that only in the seventeenth century an understanding of the importance and significance of migration processes in the existence of the state and the development of individual territories began to form. It is established that in the Ukrainian territories that were part of the Russian Empire, migration policy as a systemic phenomenon begins to manifest itself from the era of Catherine II. In the context of its expansion, the Russian Empire sought to settle and effectively develop the annexed territories. This approach required the systematic resettlement of peasants and artisans, as well as the involvement of foreign colonists, which contributed not only to demographic growth but also to the development of the territories. The state determined the areas of resettlement, which included politically and strategically important territories, as well as eastern and newly annexed territories that traditionally required settlement. This decision was aimed at strengthening state security and developing new lands. Moreover, eviction areas were established, which were low-lying but relatively densely populated regions of the central European part of the Empire. This decision was intended to relieve overpopulated areas and improve the living conditions of the local population. At the highest level, the contingents of resettlers were determined, which mostly consisted of personally and economically dependent individuals. The state applies a wide range of economic and legal measures to implement the state migration policy, which enable it to effectively control and direct migration flows. Since the 80s of the nineteenth century, an orderly process of internal migration has been formed in the country, and migration policy has become an important instrument of public administration aimed at strengthening and developing the territories of the Empire, and at solving its external and internal problems. The author establishes that the migration policy of the Russian Empire played a significant role in shaping the ethnic and cultural landscape of the country, contributing to the formation of a multinational society. During its implementation, a great deal of practical experience was gained, which, if adapted to modern realities, can be used by Ukraine in the post-war period.
FORMING A BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN UKRAINE BASED ON REFLEXIVE APPROACH: IDENTIFICATION OF FACTORS OF ECONOMIC SECURITY
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Roik Oksana
Published: September 2024

In the context of armed conflict, businesses face continuous threats and high levels of uncertainty, which can lead to significant losses and operational disruptions. Traditional management models often struggle to effectively adapt to such conditions. Reflexive business process management, based on ongoing analysis and adjustment of company activities, emerges as a pivotal system that enhances efficiency and adapts to changes in both internal and external environments. This approach enables businesses to swiftly respond to threats and changes, reducing risks and ensuring the safety of employees, clients, and company assets. Amidst wartime conditions, this model becomes exceptionally pertinent for ensuring business continuity and stability. The aim of this article is to examine the process of forming business process management systems in Ukrainian enterprises using a reflexive approach. The primary focus lies in identifying factors and indicators of economic security, essential for ensuring stability and effective management amidst evolving economic and social environments. The research employed methods of analysis and synthesis, a systemic approach, as well as monitoring methods for both external and internal business environments.

[Purpose] This study started with a diagnosis of whether the accounting curriculum in universities is being operated to respond to a series of issues and changes based on the trend of the times and the issues of request, called ‘Convergence’ and ‘Complex’. Therefore, based on a series of diagnoses, the purpose of this study was to find a way for the university’s accounting curriculum to be operated as a market－ and customeroriented curriculum.
[Methodolody] Therefore, based on previous studies, the current status of curriculum openings for accounting majors and accounting departments in five private universities was reviewed, and a case analysis was conducted to see if the courses appropriate for the era of convergence were sufficiently operated. In addition, opinions on the educational process were diagnosed for field workers.
[Findings] As a result of the analysis, first, in an environment where ‘ethical management’ is an issue recently, it was found that ‘ethics’ related subjects were insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the establishment of ethics courses to foster accountants equipped with ethical knowledge. Second, it was not easy to find a convergence curriculum in each university’s curriculum. Therefore, each university should seek a more active plan to open an accounting curriculum that can respond to changes in the business environment. Third, it is necessary to search for a design plan for a convergence curriculum based on accounting’s unique expertise along with continuous diagnosis for a series of plans.
[Implications] The series of analysis results are expected to play a role as part of a plan to revitalize computerized accounting education that can provide curriculum management for sustainable university operation and ethical knowledge appropriate for the times.

Published: September 2024

[Purpose] In Korean listed companies, we check whether corporate value decreases as the major shareholder’s equity ratio increases, and whether it can be used as an improvement measure to ultimately increase corporate value by reducing agency costs by improving corporate governance in ESG when the majority shareholder’s equity ratio increases. It is necessary to conduct an empirical analysis.
[Methodology] As major independent variables, the major shareholder’s equity ratio and the Korea ESG Standards Institute’s five corporate governance variables (total score, shareholder rights protection, board of directors, disclosure, audit organization) were used.
[Findings] Through this study, it was empirically confirmed that corporate value decreases as the majority shareholder’s shareholding ratio increases, and that companies with excellent corporate governance increase corporate value by reducing agency costs. However, the board of directors variable, which is part of the five corporate governance variables, was found to have the greatest moderating effect, and the remaining variables did not show a significant moderating effect.
[Implications] This study suggests that if company’s stakeholders intensively monitor the board of directors, they can increase corporate value by reducing agency costs between majority and minority shareholders.

The study investigated the effect of ownership settings on Nigerian listed firms’ environmental disclosure for the period 2012 – 2022. The predicting variables includes managerial ownership, foreign ownership, government ownership, and institutional ownership. A correlational approach was adopted to explore the variables’ natural relationships. Published annual reports of 95 Nigerian listed firms were used as a source of secondary data. The extent of environmental disclosure by the sampled firms was measured using the Global Reporting Index (GRI). Panel regression analysis revealed that foreign, government and institutional ownership have a significantly positive effect on environmental disclosure among Nigerian listed firms. Although, the findings did not yield conclusive evidence on a link between managerial ownership and environmental disclosure among the companies. The results of this study are crucial for regulatory authorities, stakeholders and policymakers, as it pinpoint the most effective strategies for firms to address environmental disclosure challenges and highlight key factors that drive and enhance environmental transparency. As a result, the study recommended that the industry regulators should work together with government in revitalizing the nation’s economy which in turn encourage more investment from foreign investors. Additionally, management should prioritize and encourage government and institutional holding in the Nigerian listed firms as there monitoring characteristics can enhance firm's environmental disclosure practices.
