To restore and stabilize economic development in Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure access to investment resources through effective capital formation mechanisms. Therefore, an urgent issue is the study of the essence and clarification of the functions of the stock market in conditions of a deep crisis, as well as as a tool for the implementation of financial policy in the country. The purpose of the article is a theoretical generalization of the essence of the stock market category and clarification of the functions of the stock market during the stabilization of the national economy. The subject of the research is the essence and functions of the stock market in the context of recovery and stabilization of economic growth. The methods of the research: generalization, comparison, analysis, synthesis. The statement of basic materials. The article highlights controversial issues regarding the definitions of "stock market" and "securities market". A refined definition of the concept of "stock market" is proposed, taking into account the current conditions of the functioning of the economy of Ukraine. Based on the generalization of the theoretical and methodological principles, the key functions of the stock market are highlighted. The peculiarities of the manifestation of the functions of the stock market during the recovery and stabilization of the national economy have been clarified. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the formation of a theoretical basis for determining the priority directions of the development of the stock market in crisis conditions. Conclusions and perspectives of further research. Stabilization of the national economy largely depends on the development and functioning of the stock market, which will ensure a balanced distribution of capital to restore the stability of economic development after the end of the war in Ukraine. The stock market is a system of economic and legal relations related to the emission and circulation of securities and their derivatives, it must act in accordance with the relevant standards and perform a number of functions. Given its purpose in the country's economic system during a period of deep crisis, the key functions are mobilization, distribution (redistribution), regulation, price formation, information, stabilization, and stimulation.

Economic growth is the act of increasing and improving national production so that a country can produce more and better goods and services. It is important to maintain this growth, it will affect the standard of living in the country and give humanity more opportunities. The purpose of the article is coverage of problematic aspects and main trends of economic growth and digital globalization. Methods used in the research: comparison, comparative analysis, systematization and logic, etc. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that trade is a means by which countries can develop specialization, increase the productivity of their resources and, in general, increase the total volume of production (develop as a whole). Presenting main material. Economic growth has traditionally been explained by the accumulation of human and physical capital and the increase in productivity. Further division of labor (specialization) is also fundamental to increasing productivity. Growth in labor productivity (the ratio of the value of production to labor consumption) has historically been the most important source of real economic increase. Originality and practical significance of the research. Economists reflect on the topic of economic growth and offer ideas for sustaining economic growth and increasing it. Conclusions. Governmental organizations have questioned the justification of economic growth in developed countries, arguing that it has not increased the well-being of society in recent decades. They point out that despite an increase in the size of the annual economy, measures of subjective life satisfaction have not increased, which in turn confirms that economic growth does not condition economic development.

International trade is a system of international commodity-monetary and economic relations, consisting of foreign trade of all countries of the world. International trade is the central link of the link of global economic relations, mediating almost all types of international division of labor and connecting all countries of the world into a single international economic system. The purpose of the article is to highlight the problematic aspects of the modern theory of international trade. Methods used in the research: comparison, comparative analysis, systematization and logic, etc. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that trade is a means by which countries can develop specialization, increase the productivity of their resources and, in general, increase the total volume of production (develop as a whole). Presenting main material. Economic and political risks in international trade are determined by geographic, political, and demographic factors. Modern international trade is dynamic. The structure and volumes of exports and imports of the turnover of various countries and regions of the world are rapidly and continuously changing. Originality and practical significance of the research. Modern theories of international trade either develop the principles of classical theories, extending them to a larger number of goods, countries and factors of production, or study certain aspects of international trade that for some reason remained unexplained by classical theory. Conclusions. The competitiveness of large national firms is certainly oriented towards national ones. To analyze their activities, Porter's concept of the value chain (value chain, production chain) is used, i.e. the set of business operations of the firm during which it creates added value. Concentration on the company's most expensive links of this chain (for example, R&D and sales) and the transfer of other operations to partner firms (foreign or domestic small and medium-sized enterprises) allows TNCs to maximize the production of added value. For example, the American company Nike dominates the world market of sportswear and shoes, but it almost does not produce them itself, because it distributes orders mainly to foreign partner companies and specializes in design and logistics.
Vulnerability and Well-Being: International Students’ Experience in North Queensland, Australia
Authors: Udah Hyacinth , Francis Abraham
Published: January 2023

In this article, we examined the impact of COVID-19 on international students’ experience and highlighted the importance of supporting this student group. We drew on findings from a mixed methods study in North Queensland, Australia. First, we discussed mental well-being and analysed how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted individuals’ mental health and well-being. We linked our analysis to international students’ vulnerability and well-being, looking specifically at the impact of financial and emotional distress. The findings of our study provided knowledge regarding the challenges international students face in North Queensland. In order to better meet the needs of international students, we argue that higher education institutions must provide tailored programs and services, including nurturing, supportive, responsive, and needs-orientated environments, to address the challenges international students face, and the mental health needs posed by the pandemic and beyond.
Bibliometric Exploration into the Global Research Impact of China’s Thousand Talents Brand
Authors: Allen Ryan , Allen Yang
Published: January 2023

The Thousand Talents Plan was an ambitious government initiative to repatriate and/or recruit experts from the global Chinese diaspora, along with some non-Chinese experts, with generous research funding and relocation packages. The plan has received much criticism from abroad, accusing endeavors of taking advantage of the open international education sector and facilitating espionage. While the Thousand Talents Plan received much of the attention, there are reportedly over 200 talent recruitment plans implemented by the Chinese government. We refer to these Talents Plans broadly as the Thousand Talents Brand (TTB), due to the diverse subjects, various programs, and a disparate number of the plans. Given the scrutiny and haphazardness of these initiatives, it has been difficult to gauge the impact on the global landscape of higher education, as official data on the broader project has not been readily available. Using bibliometric analysis of Web of Science, we find that research with funding from the TTB did decrease following the recent outcry, but was only roughly 1% of all Chinese research output at its peak in 2018. We find that the research was mostly concentrated in the hard sciences, with relatively little in the social sciences. Our results show the research funded through the initiatives was most commonly partnered with researchers in the Western powers, such as the US, Germany, and England, including connections to institutions with national security concerns like the US Department of Energy. While the findings do illustrate a complex web of global research governance through international partnerships, they cannot alleviate concerns that the TTB programs are potentially malign to sensitive sectors.
Public Discourse and Public Policy on Foreign Interference in Higher Education
Authors: Long Kyle , O’Connell Carly
Published: January 2023

In recent years, news media have increased reporting about alleged foreign interference in universities worldwide. A flurry of new policies has followed. This article reviews discourse and policy on foreign interference in higher education in select countries. It identifies the alleged perpetrators and victims, the victims’ concerns and responses, and the voices shaping the narrative about foreign interference. We combine the concepts of sharp power and right-wing authoritarianism to inform a discourse analysis and comparative policy analysis of a data set of 161 news articles and related media sources spanning a 30-month period of 2019-2021. Our findings highlight how government actors within the United States and Australia drive the international English-language discourse about Chinese foreign interference in a polarized media environment. We observe well-founded fears of China’s exploitation of international students and research collaborations to the detriment of national security. At the same time, a resurgent worldwide authoritarian movement is also exploiting these concerns to augment long-standing assaults on higher education. Our study helps to bridge the gap between the primarily positive framing of the internationalization of higher education in scholarly discourse and the negative focus on foreign interference in higher education in the media, government, and other public discourse. It also serves as an important introduction to this phenomenon and call to action for scholars of the internationalization of higher education to conduct further research and actively engage in the broader discourse around this topic.
Nexus of Public Diplomacy, Soft Power, and National Security: A Comparative Study of International Education in the U.S. and Canada
Authors: Trilokekar Roopa , El Masry Hani
Published: January 2023

This paper examines how international education (IE), as an important tool of public diplomacy (PD) and soft power (SP), faces unique challenges as issues of national security (NS) become more prominent in this era of new geopolitics. It presents a model to understand the relationship between PD, SP and NS and then applies this model to a comparative study. The contrasting histories, approaches and perspectives of IE as it operates as a component of foreign policy and at the nexus of PD, SP and NS in both the U.S. and Canada are analysed. The paper concludes with three challenges faced by IE in the contemporary context: first, the diminishing role of the university as a distinct and valued non-state actor; second, the weakening of foreign policy as an outward looking, distinctly international investment; and third, the problem with choosing isolation over engagement as a strategy.

Introduction. Teamwork competencies are important for achieving the success of education, developing a meaningful and lifelong career, bringing new ideas, helping to solve problems, academic achievement, and building morale. the current problems with teamwork competency factors are still vague and unclear, and lack of predictive data on education. The research objectives were to analyse factors of students’ teamwork competencies, to confirm factors of students’ teamwork competencies, and to predict the effect of teamwork competencies on academic achievement using machine learning. Methods. Participants were students in an advanced professional innovation programme undergoing an empowerment process. They were divided into two groups: 205 students for exploratory factor analysis achieved through stratified random sampling and 418 students for confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and prediction of academic achievement, also achieved via stratified random sampling. Instruments included a teamwork competency self-assessment digital form, which had item-total correlations between 0.67 and 0.77 and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of reliability equal to 0.98. The data were analysed by summary statistics (mean, standard deviation), correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, regression analysis and decision trees. Results. The results showed that teamwork competencies factors included building a team relationship (BTR), participation in team exchanges (PTE), adapting and creating a team atmosphere (ACT), and supporting a team (STE), which explained 65.752% of the total variance. Teamwork competency factors fit the empirical data (chi-square=618.54, df=565, p=0.059, GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.90, RMSEA=0.015), and teamwork competency sub-factors were correlated with the total score by 0.97, 0.94, 0.95 and 0.92, respectively. In addition, the machine learning predicted by regression BTR, PTE, and ACT were predictive of academic achievement, explaining 60.80% of the variance in this variable, and predicted by decision trees ACT and PTE were predictive of academic achievement as well. Practical significance. The novelty created by this research is that innovative product of teamwork competencies factor, that is suitable for a studied and modern context, and prediction of machine learning that will increase empirical strength and create a methodological novelty of empirical research that uses multi-stage, multi-methods and robust validation. The utility of practice, the colleges apply to students for accurate measurement, good academic achievement and leads to reflection and improvement of teamwork for performance efficacy, bringing success to individuals and society.

Forest fires are one of the factors that contribute to climate change, among the components that form the fire triangle, fuel is theonly factor that can be manipulated. The objective of this work was to estimate the load of forest fuels in Mg ha-¹ in an area burnedin 2015 and another area without fire. For the evaluation of forest fuel, three sampling sites were established in each of the areas,the woody material was counted by delay time (1, 10, 100 and 1000 h) according to the technique of planar intersections; at the endof each line, litter (h) and mulch (m) were collected in 0.09 m². Tests were carried out to contrast the general fuel load and by typebetween ecosystems; Tukey's means comparison test was used to contrast the fuels in a given area, finally the woody material (ml),mulch (m) and litter (h) were correlated with the total load (ct), litter depth (ph) and mulch depth (ph) using Pearson correlationtests. The total fuel load was 53.10 Mg ha-¹ in the burned area, while the area without fire showed a load of 27.26 Mg ha-¹ withoutsignificant differences (p = 0.114). On the comparison of loads by delay time, the fuel of 1, 10 and 100 h showed a higher load inthe burned area, although it was not significant (p > 0.05); the analysis by component showed a higher litter load in the non-burnedarea with 12.90 Mg ha-¹ (p = 0.015) and the woody material was statistically higher in the burned area with 35.95 Mg ha-¹ (p =0.024). The correlation of variables showed an r = 0.95 between the woody material and the total load; followed by leaf litter andmulch (r = 0.80); on the contrary, the total load in the non-burned area showed a correlation with the mulch and leaf litter (r = 0.89and 0.83). The forest fire contributed to the reduction of litter and mulch but maximized the load of woody fuel.

Forests are a matter of national interest and represent a strategic resource for society. However, forests face challenges that deserveto be addressed with state-of-the-art technologies. Climate change, in particular, has led to changes in the structure andbiogeography of forest stands. Based on a literature review, the lessons learned by the DendroRed research group(https://dendrored.ujed.mx/) over the last five years are highlighted here. First, it is proved that growth rings are reliable sources ofecological processes faced by trees. Their temporal dissection has refined the understanding of climate responses, as well as theirpotential to reconstruct carbon stocks at tree level. The integration of these natural records with remote sensing techniques haselucidated the seasonal modification of climate. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitoring offers a spatial and spectralperspective usually ignored, but with great potential in forest monitoring. We document the benefits in estimating aerial attributesof the canopy, as well as indices on foliar dynamics and mention areas of opportunity. All this knowledge can be integrated into atechnological package for monitoring forest resources and has impacts on forest productivity. However, it deserves additionalefforts to influence forest management policies.

Published: January 2023

This article, drawing data from library and online sources, examines and engages issues in Africa’s quest for pax-Africana in the age ofinterventionism. It notes that Africa’s quest for pax-Africana in the age of interventionism is undercut by many factors, chief amongwhich is the dependency and weaknesses of African states which always predispose extra-African powers to intervene in matters thatshould exclusively be handled by Africans. It concludes that as long as Africa remains trapped in dependent relations and the climate of disunity persists among African statesmen, its quest for pax-Africana would remain daunting.
AN OVERVIEW OF SQUATTER SETTLEMENTS IN ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
Authors: Elias Berhanu Debela
Published: January 2023

Squatter/informal settlements are notable features of the urban areas of developing counties. This study aims at exploring the facts related to squat settlements in Ethiopia, with reference to the capital city, Addis Ababa. The study tries to explore the causes, scale and consequences of squatter settlements. It also attempts to assess municipal responses aimed at redressing the problems evolving from the proliferation of squatter settlements within and the suburbs of the city. The study is based on secondary data available to demonstrate the spread and challenges brought about by informal settlements. Related literature is reviewed to provide theoretical background. The emergence and alarming increase of squatter settlements has been caused by multiple factors, including the delays in the implementation of legal land provisions for housing and escalating costs of owning formal houses. The growth of slums and squatter settlements has been among the key urban planning and management hurdles for the city. The city government adopted preventive and curative measures to deter the emergence and prevalence of squatter settlements. The approaches range from demolition of “non-poverty-driven” to regularization of “poverty-driven” informal settlements. However, squatter settlementshave continued to proliferate despite the successive regulatory measures taken by the concerned government organs. This trend is due mainly to unrestrained poverty and population pressure complemented with weak municipal capacity to handle the problem.
