Are action researchers mixed up? Reviewing and revising basic assumptions, concepts, and terminology in and by means of action research
Authors: Eikeland Olav , Frimann Søren , Hersted Lone , Borup Jensen Julie
Published: October 2022

The article explores and discusses whether we as action researchers are undermining or subverting our own intuitions and intentions, or at least not doing justice to it, when mixing a) learning and exploration through individual and collective action and reflection, with b) elements from conventional research methods. The article’s basic question: Can the intentions and results from a) be reduced to and validated fully or partly through b) conventional methods? Can we save the scientific legitimacy of action research by ultimately resorting to conventional methods and theories? What does action research uniquely add in relation to conventional learning, knowledge generation, and change projects? We discuss some challenges raised by questions like these, and suggest ways of handling them. After exploring ways of being “seduced” by conventional methods, we conclude by recommending a gnoseology to replace a one-dimensional epistemology, and by explaining and recommending the procedure of immanent critique as a way of developing insights and competencies from the inside of practices; i. e. a genuinely Action research method.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Posterior approach pedicle screw fixation without fusion is widely used in the treatment of neurologically intact type A3 thoracolumbar fractures. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of the facet joint (FJ) angle on FJ degeneration following posterior approach pedicle screw fixation without fusion in neurologically intact type A3 thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS: Fifty-eight patients who underwent pedicle screw fixation via the traditional posterior approach (n= 28) or the Wiltse approach (n= 30) were enrolled. A CT scan was performed before fixation and before fixation removal (Within 1.5 to 2 years after fixation) to evaluate the FJs parameters, including FJ inclination (FJI), FJ tropism (FJT), FJ violation, and FJ degeneration grade (FJDG), of three fixed segments and the adjacent segment below the fixed segments. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in FJ violation rate, FJDG deterioration, or FJ angle between the two groups (P> 0.05). FJDG deterioration showed a weak positive correlation with FJI and FJT before fixation, and the angular change in FJI (P< 0.05); and FJT before fixation and the angular change in FJI were risk factors for FJDG deterioration (P< 0.01). CONCLUSION: The Wiltse approach did not increase the rate of FJDG deterioration and FJs angle changes. However, the FJT before fixation and the angular change in FJI were risk factors for FJDG deterioration.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: The persistence of symptoms in patients with chronic neck pain is considered to be associated with variation in the neck muscle structure and associated neuromuscular control. Sling exercise therapy (SET) has been demonstrated to relieve the symptoms of chronic neck pain, whereas it is controversial whether this benefit is correlated to altered neck muscle structure and associated neuromuscular control in the patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of SET on cervical muscle structure (thickness) and associated neuromuscular control in patients with chronic neck pain. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with chronic neck pain were randomly assigned to the SET group (n= 12) or the control group (n= 13). The SET group received the SET intervention for 4 weeks, while the control group maintained normal activities of daily living. At baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention, Visual analogue scale and neck disability index were measured in both groups, and changes in the thickness of the superficial cervical muscles were assessed using musculoskeletal ultrasound. Surface electromyography (EMG) was adapted to assess the neuromuscular control of the neck while the participant was performing the cranio-cervical flexion test. RESULTS: At 4 weeks, the SET group had a significant reduction of RMS in both UT and SCM of EMG compared to the control group (p< 0.05). Regarding ultrasound, the SET group had significantly lower muscle thickness compared to the control group in both the rest position and the MVIC position (p< 0.05). There were no within-group differences in the control group (p> 0.05), while the SET group showed significant reductions in both RMS and muscle thickness (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: 4-week SET was effective in reducing pain and dysfunction in patients with chronic neck pain, which may be related to improved neck muscle thickness and neuromuscular control of the neck.

Authors: Su Peng , Liu Feng , Zhang Yi , Zhu Jian Hua , Zhang Li Chao
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Due to the influence of spinal and respiratory movements, it is difficult to accurately measure the range of motion of each joint. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a three-dimensional (3D) measurement of each joint in the shoulder complex in different postures in the sagittal plane of the upper extremity. METHODS: Thirteen healthy adults with no history of shoulder surgery for trauma or chronic pain were enrolled in the present study. The computed tomography (CT) imaging data of the shoulder complex were acquired in four postures via the reconstruction and alignment of 3D images. The angles of the postural changes were measured, and rotation vectors were used for descriptions and statistical analyses. RESULTS: There was a statistical difference in the rotation angles between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the sternoclavicular joint when the posture changed from a resting position to a posterior inferior position. During the postural change from a resting position to a horizontal position, the regression coefficient (β) of the humerothoracic joint to the sternoclavicular joint was 0.191, and the β of the humerothoracic joint to the glenohumeral joint was 0.621. During the postural change from the horizontal position to the rear upper position, the β of the humerothoracic joint to the sternoclavicular joint was 0.316, and the β of the humerothoracic joint to the glenohumeral joint was 0.845. During the postural change from the resting position to the rear lower position, the β of the humerothoracic joint to the glenohumeral joint was 0.991. CONCLUSION: The application of the image alignment technique enabled the direct and accurate measurement of the bony structures of the shoulder joint. The helical approach accurately described the scapulohumeral rhythm during 3D motion. There was a scapulohumeral rhythm of the shoulder complex during 3D composite sagittal movement, with different ratios for different joints and postures.
The safety evaluation method of steel enterprises based on deep learning
Authors: Li Jingmin , Xu Shuzhen
Published: October 2022

As an important basic industry of national economy, the iron and steel industry has provided an important raw material guarantee for a long time. However there are a large number of hazard sources which are prone to safety accidents in the production process. Then safety evaluation in the production system is highly needed to effectively prevent the occurrence of accidents in iron and steel enterprises. Hence we introduce a method based on deep learning model to evaluate safety of the enterprises. Firstly, the risk factors and casualties in production process are investigated, and a set of safety evaluation index system is constructed.Secondly, since deep neural network model has the characteristics of strong feature extraction ability and simple model structure, we design a safety evaluation model based on deep neural network. The 25-dimensional evaluation index value is the input of the network, and the network output corresponds to five risk levels. On this basis, the optimization algorithm of deep neural network model is designed to explore the mapping relationship between risk characteristics and safety level. Tensorflow deep learning framework is used to build the evaluation model, classification loss function and network optimization method are designed to train the model. Finally, through experiments, the optimal model structure is determined by comparing the influence of different parameter optimization strategies, different hidden layer structures, and different activation functions on the safety evaluation performance. A three hidden layer structure with the Adam back propagation algorithm and LeakyRelu activation function is adopted to obtain higher accuracy and faster convergence rate. The experiments show that our evaluation model provides an operational method for evaluating the safety management status of iron and steel enterprises.

An artificial bee colony-based framework for multi-objective optimization of three-way decisions with probabilistic rough sets
Authors: Soumya T.V. , Sabu M.K.
Published: October 2022

The cogent area, Probabilistic rough sets, offers methods that are used to trisect the data into positive, negative and boundary regions for optimum (α, β) pairs. These basic methods generate three regions based on a single quality, including cost, entropy, impurity, correlation and variance, thereby the best (α, β) pair is generated. The optimization of multiple qualities has significance in real-life applications; however, experiments rarely discussed the optimization of different criteria together in probabilistic rough sets. This probe conducts multi-objective optimization of uncertainty, impurity and correlation, to determine a trisection at optimal (α, β) pairs. For that, this work proposes a hybrid method that involves Weighted Sum and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm to optimize the thresholds. The results are compared with the Information-theoretic rough sets and Game-theoretic rough sets. The proposed method outperforms regarding optimal qualities, multiple optimum thresholds, minimal size of boundary regions, and better evaluation results. By attesting the study on experimental data sets, optimal (α, β) pairs are obtained at which the uncertainty and impurity are minima. Moreover, the correlation at this threshold is reasonable. From the application viewpoint, it reduces the cost of further analysis by generating the minimum delayed decision and maximizes the benefit with optimal decisions by considering multiple optimized qualities simultaneously.

Published: October 2022

Topological indices play a significant role in molecular chemistry, spectral graph theory, network theory, etc. We aim to contribute some new results on PI and weighted PI indices. The vertex PI index of a graph G is given by, PI(G) = ∑e∈E(G)(|V(G) | - NG(e)). The weighted PI index of a graph G is given by, PIw(G) = ∑e=(u,v)∈E(G)(dG(u) + dG(v))(|V(G) | - NG(e)). We obtained the PI and weighted PI indices for powers of paths, cycles, and their complements in this study. Also, for a regular graph, a relationship between PI and weighted PI indices is established, and using this relation the weighted PI index is calculated for kth power of a cycle.
The determination and elimination of hidden inherent preference using q-ROFNs multicriteria group decision making problem
Authors: Xu Wei , Mao Jun-Jun , Zhu Meng-Meng
Published: October 2022

The group decision-making problem usually involves decision makers (DMs) from different professional backgrounds, which leads to a considerable point, that it is the fact that there will be a certain difference in the professional cognition, risk preference and other hidden inherent factors of these DMs to the objective things that need to be evaluated. To improve the reasonability of decision-making, these hidden inherent preference (HIP) of DMs should be determined and eliminated prior to decision making. As a special form of fuzzy set, q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs) is a useful tool to process uncertain information in decision making problems. Hence, under the environment of q-ROFNs, the determination of HIP based on distance from average score is proposed and a risk model is established to eliminate the HIP by analyzing the possible impact. Meanwhile, a dominant function is proposed, which extends the comparison method between q-ROFNs and an integrated decision-making method is provided. Finally, considering the application background of double carbon economy, an example by selecting the best design of electric vehicles charging station (EVCS) is conducted to illustrate the proposed method, and the feasibility and efficiency are verified.

Published: October 2022

Handwriting problems, also known as dysgraphia, are defined as a disorder or difficulty in producing written language associated with writing mechanics. The occurrence of handwriting problems among elementary students varies from 10 to 34%. With negative impacts on educational performance, handwriting problems cause low self-confidence and disappointment in the students. In this research, a pen-tablet was employed to sample children’s handwriting, which revealed online features of handwriting such as kinematic and temporal features as well as wrist and hand angles and pen pressure on the surface. This digitizer could also extract the online handwriting features when the pen was not in contact with the surface. Such features are called in-air features. The purpose of this study was to propose a method for diagnosing dysgraphia along with an evaluation of the impact of in-air features on the diagnosis of this disorder. A rich dataset (OHF-1) of online handwriting features of dysgraphic and non-dysgraphic students was prepared. After the extraction of a huge set of features and choosing a feature selection method, three machine learning methods, i.e. SVM, Random Forest and AdaBoost were compared and with the SVM method, an accuracy of 85.7% in diagnosing dysgraphia was achieved, when both in-air and on-surface features were included. However, while using purely in-air data or merely on-surface features, accuracies of 80.9% and 71.4% were achieved, respectively. Our findings showed that in-air features had a significant amount of information related to the diagnosis of dysgraphia. Consequently, they might serve as a significant part of the dysgraphia diagnosis.

Published: October 2022

This paper discusses an uncertain time optimal control problem by considering time efficiency, which is to optimize the objective function about the first hitting time subject to uncertain differential equations. According to the definition of the α-path, the uncertain time optimal control problem is transformed into an equivalent deterministic optimal control problem. Two kinds of time optimal control models are presented where optimistic value and reaching index are chosen as the optimality criteria, respectively. Applying the proposed uncertain optimal control model to a portfolio selection problem, we obtain the uncertainty distribution of the first hitting time (the investors’ first profit time). Meanwhile, sufficient conditions of the optimal control strategy of such models are provided. Numerical simulations are provided which reveal the change for our optimal control strategy.
Establish a trend fuzzy information granule based short-term forecasting with long-association and k-medoids clustering
Authors: Li Fang , Lu Weihua , Yang Xiyang , Guo Chong
Published: October 2022

In the existing short-term forecasting methods of time series, two challenges are faced: capture the associations of data and avoid cumulative errors. For tackling these challenges, the fuzzy information granule based model catches our attention. The rule used in this model is fuzzy association rule (FAR), in which the FAR is constructed from a premise granule to a consequent granule at consecutive time periods, and then it describes the short-association in data. However, in real time series, another association, the association between a premise granule and a consequent granule at non-consecutive time periods, frequently exists, especially in periodical and seasonal time series. While the existing FAR can’t express such association. To describe it, the fuzzy long-association rule (FLAR) is proposed in this study. This kind of rule reflects the influence of an antecedent trend on a consequent trend, where these trends are described by fuzzy information granules at non-consecutive time periods. Thus, the FLAR can describe the long-association in data. Correspondingly, the existing FAR is called as fuzzy short-association rule (FSAR). Combining the existing FSAR with FLAR, a novel short-term forecasting model is presented. This model makes forecasting at granular level, and then it reduces the cumulative errors in short-term prediction. Note that the prediction results of this model are calculated from the available FARs selected by the k-medoids clustering based rule selection algorithm, therefore they are logical and accurate. The better forecasting performance of this model has been verified by comparing it with existing models in experiments.

Published: October 2022

Facilities providing bright thermal neutron beams are of primary importance for various research topics. At CEA-Saclay, a compact accelerator driven neutron source, SONATE, is investigated in taking advantage of the IPHI accelerator able to deliver a 3 MeV proton beam with an intensity up to 100 mA. To optimize the performances of such a neutron source, it is necessary to maximize the thermal neutron flux while minimizing the contribution of other particles. In this work, optimization has been performed using the Monte Carlo code TOUCANS, a neutron transport code based on Geant4 developed at CEA-Saclay. This latter has been coupled to PROMETHEE, a software allowing multi-objective optimization for many simulation software. In this work the Kriging metamodel based approach is used to optimize a neutron beamdump. To take into account the various constraints, noise on the detection system and radiation protection issues, several beamdump configurations are evaluated. The variation of beamdump parameters makes it possible to identify the set of optimal solutions, the Pareto front. It allows to focus on the set of best choices and to choose wisely the best configurations. After describing the validation of TOUCANS on experimental tests performed from 2016 to 2022, the capability of such an approach will be presented.
Examining the special interest areas of autistic adults with a focus on their employment and mental health outcomes
Authors: Bross Leslie Ann , Huffman Jonathan M. , Hagiwara Mayumi
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have special interest areas (SIAs) which are characterized by significant depth and breadth of knowledge in a particular topic. These interests can continue through adulthood. OBJECTIVE: We conducted this study to develop a better understanding of the relation between SIAs and employment and mental health outcomes of adults with ASD. METHODS: Qualitative and quantitative analyses were used to examine the data with an emphasis on bringing autistic voices to the forefront of the discussion. Seventy-two adults with ASD, ages 18–53, completed an online survey describing their SIA engagement, employment status, and current mental health measured by two standardized assessments. Respondents provided open-ended responses describing their SIA and beliefs regarding SIAs broadly. RESULTS: Open-ended responses indicated adults with ASD have highly diverse SIAs that are rarely utilized in their employment experiences. Hierarchical regressions revealed SIA-related bullying was associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. SIA employment was associated with depression such that those who were not currently employed in their SIA reported higher levels of depression. Respondents without support from people in their life related to their SIA reported higher levels of stress. CONCLUSION: SIAs are extremely important in the lives of autistic adults and should be utilized to enhance their employment experiences and overall well-being. Family members, adult service providers, and educational professionals should support and encourage SIAs.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Older adults have the highest traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related morbidity and mortality, and rates in older adults are increasing, chiefly due to falls. OBJECTIVE: This study used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to examine baseline predictors of functional independence trajectories across 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after TBI in older adults. METHODS: Participants comprised 2,459 individuals aged 60 or older at the time of TBI, enrolled in the longitudinal TBI Model Systems database, and had Functional Independence Measure Motor and Cognitive subscale scores and Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended scores during at least 1 time point. RESULTS: Functional independence trajectories generally declined over the 10 years after TBI. Individuals who were older, male, underrepresented minorities, had lower education, were unemployed at time of injury, had no history of substance use disorder, or had difficulties with learning, dressing, and going out of the home prior to the TBI, or longer time in posttraumatic amnesia had lower functional independence trajectories across at least one of the functional independence outcomes. CONCLUSION: These predictors of functional independence in older adults with TBI may heighten awareness of these factors in treatment planning and long-term health monitoring and ultimately as a way to decrease morbidity and mortality.

Published: October 2022

In palliative care, nursing work is characterized by the concept of suffering as nurses cope with not only the death of patients, but also challenges with interacting with families. This suffering however, if offset by the concept of pleasure, as patients find meaning in illness, pain, and in the acceptance of death as a natural process, which generates pleasure. This reflective discursive presentation is based on the theoretical framework of Dejours’ psychodynamics of work and highlights the area of palliative oncology nursing as a source of suffering and pleasure. The daily life of palliative oncology nurses, subjectivity at work, and constant interactions between psychic, social, individual, and collective factors are discussed. In their clinical practice, palliative oncology nurses break with the prescribed way of engaging in care while building on various meanings of work that transforms and is also transformed. Considerations related to the need for teaching and research activities to examine pleasure and suffering in palliative oncology nursing is presented.
Are nurses being heard? The power of Freirean dialogue to transform the nursing profession
Authors: Costa Idevania
Published: October 2022

Nurses need to acquire knowledge about interactive communication, apply critical thinking in prevention and management of illness, and act as patient advocates especially among marginalized and vulnerable populations. This three-pronged approach usually begin during their student years and should include a dialogue framework for use during nursing encounters with patients, family members, and other healthcare providers and for improving the safety and effectiveness of patient care. Therefore, the nursing curriculum should not only include topics related to illness prevention and management, but also prepare nurses to identify and advocate for social justice and health equality by creating a lively and interactive learning environment to allow nurses to build their self-confidence to act and become change agents. Certainly, the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated a nursing shortage and led to limited access to services and poor quality of care for all, underscores the urgency of the Freirean dialogic approach of action-reflection-action. Using this approach, all stakeholders collaborate, discuss, and implement solutions, grow together, and become change agents toward improving nursing care for all.

Published: October 2022

A method of determining the level of fire danger of the main element of the hydrogen storage and supply system - the gas generator - has been developed. It is noted that to determine the fire hazard level of the gas generator of the hydrogen storage and supply system, methods based on fire hazard indexing and methods aimed at obtaining estimates of the probability of a fire hazard situation are used.
It should be noted that for the purpose of determining the level of fire safety of the gas generator of the system for saving and supplying water, there are methods that are based on the indexation of fire safety and methods that are focused on the assessment of the fire safety of the fire safety situation. In the robot as a showcase, which characterizes the fire rate of the gas generator of the system for saving and supplying water, the ability to change the size of the vice in the empty allowable value is shown. In the robot, the fallow was obtained in the empty gas generator of the system for saving and supplying water in the fallow from the direction. Addiction won for the minds, that the process of supplying water to the cooldown is adiabatic, and the temperatures at the inlet of the reducer and at the same output coincide with each other. It is shown that the direction of the gas generator of the system is to save and supply water and the falloff moment to the hour, at which point the direction is indicated, i.e. the sequence of falloff values. For the purpose of the gas generator of the system, the saving and supply of water is controlled by expressions, as a mathematical description of the improvement of that dispersion. These expressions , as well as expression for the safety of changing the vice in the empty gas generator of the system, saving and supplying water from the normal functions of the normal distribution, ensure the safety of the equal fire safety of such a gas generator. A verbal interpretation was given to the method of determining the fire safety of the gas generator of the system for saving and supplying water, and for the characteristic parameters, the first assessment was made.

Published: October 2022

Increased intensity of operation of construction infrastructure, unfavorable for quality repairs of natural and climatic conditions of Ukraine and a high probability of emergencies necessitate the need for domestic import-substituting structural composites for restoration work with regulated viability. The specifics of repair and restoration works - limited time, extreme temperature and humidity conditions, problems in ensuring full-fledged technology and others. - makes it necessary to develop PKM that take into account these features.
The authors state that such compositions can be developed on the basis of acrylic binders, mainly methyl methacrylate (MMA), polymer composite materials (PCM) based on which are characterized by high rates of strength, mechanical and physicochemical properties, as well as durability. comprehensive study of the influence of the conditions of formation of the polymer material (curing temperature) and prescription-technological factors (chemical modification of the binder, the method of introduction of benzoyl peroxide, etc.) on its strength. Effective means of increasing the latter have been identified.
To assess the effect of the studied modifiers on the change in the mobility of macromolecular chains by linear dilatometry, the glass transition temperatures Tc (° C) of PM polymer matrices were determined (decrease in glass transition temperature is usually associated with increased mobility of polymer chain segments).
It was found that among a number of studied modifiers - 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxylan (MPTMS), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), dimethacrylate ether of triethylene glycol (TGM-3), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (GPMA) (the two most effective) (methacrylate).
The expediency of adjusting the content of PB and DMA to accelerate the set of strength at low positive and negative curing temperatures is shown. The optimal contents of PB and DMA have been established, which allow to reduce the time of reaching the minimum operational (40 MPa) and ultimate strength for bending of PM based on MMA.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHOD OF INTEGRAL ASSESSMENT OF LAND USE OF UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES
Authors: Chang L. , Mamonov K. , Kanivets O.
Published: October 2022

It has been proven that modern conditions are characterized by instability, which is due to the impact of the consequences of military operations, the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of socio-economic disparities, and the disruption of intra-economic ties. The implementation of the local self-government reform is aimed at the development of united territorial communities (UTH), as an important direction of decentralization implemented in Ukraine. The functioning of the OTG is characterized by the formation of new relations between the state and local communities, where the latter have significant powers for the formation and use of land.
The purpose of the study is to form a quantitative basis for the development and implementation of monitoring of the use of land of the OTG by applying the integral method. To achieve the set goal, the following tasks were completed:
– development of directions for the development of an integral method for determining the level of land use of united territorial communities;
– assessment of the level of land use of the OTG based on the integral method.
Thus, as a result of the study, it was determined that different aspects are observed in the context of the use of the lands of the OTG in the regions of Ukraine. In particular, in the Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Kherson regions, a high level of land use of united territorial communities is observed. The following regions are defined at a sufficient level: Vinnytsia, Volyn, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Lviv, Poltava, Rivne, Ternopil, Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi, Chernihiv. Along with this, in some regions there is an insufficient or weak level of use of the lands of the OTG (Transcarpathian, Cherkasy). In general, we note that in recent years there have been positive changes in the use of land of united territorial communities by region in terms of comprehensive consideration of spatial, urban planning, socio-economic and ecological support. However, it should be noted that at the regional level there is a need to implement measures to increase the level of land use based on the development and implementation of scientifically based recommendations regarding the implementation of monitoring procedures.
The method of integral assessment of land use of united territorial communities was developed as the main element of the technology of forming and implementing monitoring, based on analytical and expert methods, which made it possible to form a systematic monitoring environment at the regional level.
Keywords: the method of integral assessment, land use, spatial, urban planning, socio-economic, ecological factors, united territorial communities.
ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPONENT IN FORMING FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF KHARKIV REGION
Authors: Dymchenko O. , Smachylo V. , Rudachenko O. , Shkurupiy K.
Published: October 2022

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of the financial capacity of territorial communities (TC) in Ukraine. The object of the study are the territorial communities in the Kharkiv region, the selection criteria of which were the TC area and population size.
The paper examines the budget of territorial communities, which includes revenue and expenditure parts. It has been proven that the capacity of the community shows the ability to attract, accumulate and effectively use financial resources from various sources to solve topical issues of local importance.
The main advantages of the decentralization policy, which has been actively implemented in the TC of Ukraine since 2014, are given. The "Methodology for the Formation of Capable Territorial Communities" is substantiated, the results of the calculation obtained by the TC according to this methodology are given. The budget for 2021 was analyzed on the example of territorial communities of the Kharkiv region. In most territorial communities, the largest part of income is taken by tax revenues, which indicates the importance of the further mandatory development of entrepreneurial activity in communities.
The results of the study showed that the analysis of the community's financial capacity showed that, indeed, budget decentralization measures had a rather positive effect on the financial capacity of TС budgets. However, the independence of local self-government bodies, which is one of the main ideas of budget decentralization, is determined not only by the amount of financial resources, but also by the reason for their increase. However, territorial communities should remember that transfers and other financial assistance from central authorities are temporary funds: today the state allocates them, but tomorrow it does not. Therefore, the TС should rely on its own capabilities in the accumulation of tax and non-tax revenues, thereby emphasizing the development of entrepreneurship from small to large.
Keywords: territorial community, financial capacity, decentralization, incomes, expenses, entrepreneurship.

Authors: Svitlychna V. , Aleksandrova S.
Published: October 2022

Issues of relevance and necessity of reengineering business processes of HoReCa enterprises are investigated. Significant advantages of business process reengineering are emphasized. After all, this method of redesigning activities is an effective means of significantly improving the activities of hospitality enterprises.
The purpose of the work is to substantiate the content, stages and format of the organization of business process reengineering for HoReCa enterprises.
The work substantiates the thesis that hospitality and catering services have always been characterized by high profitability. However, the global crisis has become a difficult test for the entire HoReCa industry.
The emphasis of the work is on the fact that the reengineering of business processes is an effective measure to ensure the further effective development of HoReCa enterprises. Reengineering is the basis of a radical change in the development of enterprises, ensuring significant competitive advantages and achieving an improvement in the financial condition.
The work presents the author's interpretation of the concept of «organizational support for the reengineering of business processes of a HoReCa enterprise» - this is a complex system of processes and procedures for carrying out reengineering in accordance with the set goal of radical transformations of the enterprise, which, based on the interaction of this enterprise with other business entities, as well as with the structures and divisions of the enterprise itself, contributes to the introduction of significant changes in the enterprise's management system.
The article emphasizes that the reengineering of business processes is the embodiment of a complex program of transformations and fundamental restructuring of the functioning of enterprises. Its important components are: replacement of the existing management system with new effective concepts; development and implementation of improved business processes and their management methods; preliminary assessment of the acceptability of the riskiness of radical change projects.
The authors emphasize that the reengineering of business processes of HoReCa enterprises is a rather complex transformation mechanism. But it is thanks to him that every enterprise in the field of hospitality is able to carry out qualitative improvement of its business processes.

PRESIDENCIALISMO, IRRACIONALIDAD Y CLIENTELISMO EN CLAVE DE ACCIÓN SOCIAL WEBERIANA
Authors: Santoyo Hernández Julio Antonio
Published: October 2022

Las acciones del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador son irracionales al fundamentarse en, y absolutizarlas, con arreglo a valores sin considerar el arreglo a fines y sus consecuencias en la reacción de otros actores sociales. Las acciones irracionales han llevado a pseudoinstitucionalizar el clientelis-mo y a regresar a una etapa de presidencialismo al sistema político mexica­no. A través de la teoría de la acción social de Max Weber, así como otros elementos de análisis teórico se categoriza en su justa dimensión la realidad política para entenderla claramente. Esto es importante porque nos permite estar consientes de problemas políticos que minan la democracia y perma­necen velados a la población, por tanto fuera del foco de atención y lucha ciudadana. Se concluye la veracidad de la hipótesis a través de ejemplos y su correspondencia con los conceptos teóricos enunciados.
