The Clinician, the Clinician-Researcher, and the Contextual Behavioral Science Research Agenda
Authors: Persons Jacqueline
Published: April 2022

The research agenda described in the Report of the ACBS Task Force on the Strategies and Tactics of Contextual Behavioral Science Research (Hayes et al., 2021) calls for investigations that address many pressing needs clinicians encounter daily, and I highlight several: the study of assessment methods and tools, the study of interventions, the study of change processes in treatment, and the study of functioning and well-being. I also describe two topics that are important to clinicians that were not featured in the Report: clinical decision-making and the case conceptualization. Finally, I highlight ways the CBS research agenda lends support to clinicians’ efforts to undertake research in their practice settings.
Case Formulation
Authors: Persons Jacqueline
Published: April 2022

In the case formulation approach to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), the therapist works collaboratively with the patient to develop a formulation of the patient’s case and uses the formulation to guide the treatment. The formulation is a hypothesis about the major factors that cause and perpetuate the patient’s problems. I begin this commentary about case formulation written in honor of Aaron T. Beck with a brief description of the case formulation approach to CBT. I describe my path to developing the case formulation approach to CBT, beginning with learning cognitive therapy from Dr. Beck and his colleagues as a graduate student. I highlight the importance to the case formulation model of three of Beck’s contributions in particular: the cognitive conceptualization, the practice of monitoring the patient’s progress and collecting feedback from the patient, and an empirical approach to approach to clinical work. I highlight contributions to ideas about the case formulation in CBT by Ira Turkat, Joseph Wolpe, Judith Beck, Kuyken et al. (2009) and others too numerous to mention here. I conclude with a call for more research on the role of the case formulation in cognitive behavior therapy.

Authors: Kappen Mitchel , Raeymakers Sofie , Weyers Steven , Vanderhasselt Marie Anne
Published: March 2022

Since the inclusion of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) as a mood disorder in the DSM-5, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms have received more attention from researchers and clinicians. In this large-scale study, we investigated core psychological concepts relevant to mood disorder vulnerability between people with 1) no to mild, 2) moderate to severe, and 3) PMDD levels of PMS symptoms. Several trait measures related to mood disorders including depressive symptoms, feelings of stress and anxiety, and ruminative thinking were measured (single measurement, N = 380) along with state (momentary) reports of stress and stress-related perseverative thinking (measured twice, once in the follicular and once in the premenstrual/luteal phase, N = 237). We consistently observed that participants with higher severity of PMS symptoms also scored higher on depression, anxiety, stress, and rumination. Interestingly, we did not find significant differences between our two test moments (in the middle of the follicular and premenstrual/luteal phase respectively), focusing on stress and stress-related perseverative ruminative thinking. However, this could be due to noise surrounding the testing moments due to the temporal resolution of the questionnaires and the menstrual cycle estimation method. Nevertheless, these results suggest that stress and rumination are important psychological mechanisms to consider in PMS. Future PMS research studying stress and rumination on a day-to-day basis in combination with hormonal measures is warranted.
Ten Years of Psychology’s Replicability Crisis: Has the Crisis Been Overcome or Can It be? (unabridged version)
Authors: Hiraishi Kai , Nakamura Daiki
Published: April 2022

It has been almost ten years since Bem published the psi study in a prestigious social psychology journal, which ignited the replicability crisis in psychology. Since then, drastic and systematic changes in research practices have been proposed and implemented in the field. After a decade of such controversy and reformation, what is the current status of psychology? We provide an overview of the 10 years of credibility revolution in psychology by taking the perspectives of “researcher’s degree of freedom” and “specification space.” Based on the view, we propose possible future directions for psychology to proceed as a scientific discipline.
The More Experienced, the Better Prepared? New Evidence on the Relation between Teachers’ Experience and their Readiness for Online Teaching and Learning
Authors: Scherer Ronny , Siddiq Fazilat , Howard Sarah , Tondeur Jo
Published: March 2022

In the present study, we tested the common assumption that teachers with more experience consider themselves better prepared for online teaching and learning (OTL). Utilizing an international data set of 731 teachers in higher education at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed structural equation and network modeling to quantify the experience-readiness relationship. In contrast to the linearity assumption “the more experienced, the better prepared”, we found robust evidence for a curvilinear relationship. Teachers’ readiness for OTL increased first and then decreased with more experience—this applied especially to the self-efficacy dimension of readiness. Further analyses suggested that the experience-readiness relationship does not only exist at the level of aggregated constructs but also at the level of indicators, that is, specific areas of knowledge, teaching, and support. We argue that both novice and experienced teachers in higher education could benefit from experience-appropriate, pedagogical, and content-related support programs for OTL.
Residential Greenspace is Associated with Lower Levels of Depressive and Burnout Symptoms, and Higher Levels of Life Satisfaction: A Nationwide Population-Based Study in Sweden
Authors: Klein Yannick , Lindfors Petra , Osika Walter , Magnusson Linda Hanson , Stenfors Cecilia Ulrika Dagsdotter
Published: March 2022

Population-based studies of individual-level residential greenspace and mental health outcomes are still limited. Thus, the present study investigates greenspace-mental health associations—including depressive symptoms, burnout symptoms and life satisfaction—in a population-based sample of adults, the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health, in 2016 (n=14 641). High resolution land cover of greenspace and green-blue-space was assessed at 50, 100, 300 and 500 m buffers around residential addresses. Higher residential greenspace and green-blue-space was associated with lower levels of depressive and burnout symptoms among non-working individuals, and was associated with higher life satisfaction in the whole study population, after controlling for age, sex, individual income, and neighborhood socioeconomics. The immediate residential-surrounding environment (50 m) consistently showed the strongest associations with the outcomes. Having a partner was associated with better mental health outcomes and with having more residential greenspace, and adjusting for this rendered greenspace-health associations mostly statistically non-significant.In conclusion, higher levels of greenspace and green-blue-space in the immediate residential-surrounding environment were associated with better mental health outcomes in the present study, which contributes additional nuances to prior studies. The importance of residential greenspace for public health, urban planning and development, is discussed.

Managing Ghost Workers Fraud on Payroll in Tanzania: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Oscar Whynijous Tefurukwa
Published: April 2022

Tanzania has made several reforms to improve public service since independence in 1961. One of the major concerns has been to wipe out ghost workers on the payroll. The efforts would improve public service and avoid unnecessary wastages of resources. For decades the payroll still bears names of fictitious and ex-employees who either retired or deceased. Ghost workers have been oozing scarce funds that could support service to the neediest Tanzanians. The situation calls for immediate but comprehensive interventions for dealing with menace to avoid further negative impacts on public service management and the country. The core intervention is to comprehend the nature of fraud on the payroll in Tanzania. Therefore, the paper proposes a conceptual framework for identifying and managing ghost workers on the payroll. The study is based on secondary data. The study used Fraud Triangle Theory, Fraud Diamond Theory, and Fraud Lifecycle Management Theory to construct the conceptual framework for managing ghost workers on the payroll in Tanzania. The framework can facilitate organizations, researchers, and human resources practitioners to analyze initial motives and traits of employees towards unethical behaviors, the probability of fraud on the payroll, and the quality of fraud management systems. In addition, the framework portrays that the fraud management systems must be inherent features of efficient and effective human resources management of any organization that needs and wants to curb ghost worker frauds on the payroll.

In light of the structural properties of tetradymite-like layered chalcogenide compounds, the mixed-layered compound GeBi3Te4 was predicted and synthesized for the first time, which belongs to the nBi2–mGeBi2Te4 homologous series in the Ge-Te-Bi system. A polycrystal of a new phase was synthesized, and its single crystal was grown by the Bridgman–Stockbarger method. The obtained samples were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the compound melts peritectically at 563 C and has a rhombohedral lattice-type structure with the following lattice parameters: a =4.3625 (5) Å, c = 31.381 (2) Å (sp. gr R3m). The crystal structure of the layered van der Waals compound GeBi3Te4 consists of a repetition of seven-layer GeBi2Te4 packets and two-layer Bi packets in the form of -7-2-7-7-2-7-7-2-7- which differ from the previously discovered GeBi4Te4 phase, which consists of unit cells from only one seven-layer packet. The discovery of a new mixed-layered compound indicates the possibility of the formation of similar compounds in AIV–BV–Te (AIV = Ge, Sn, Pb; BV = Sb, Bi) systems

Background: One of the programs launched by the Department of Health (DOH) was the High Impact Five (HI-5) Program to intensify the implementation of the five major health programs namely infant care, childcare, maternal care, service delivery networks and HIV/ AIDS. Hence, it is important to assess the HI-5 program beneficiaries’ awareness, utilization and satisfaction as well as the program’s extent of implementation. Aim: The study aimed to determine the level of awareness, utilization, implementation, and satisfaction on the HI-5 Program in Eastern Visayas and to determine the relationship between variables. Methods: The study used descriptive correlation research design and survey questionnaires.Key informant interview and records review were used during the data collection process. Results: The study revealed that majority of the respondents were aware of the different HI-5 Program components with high to moderate utilization and satisfaction level on infant care, childcare, maternal care and service delivery networks components. However, the level of awareness, utilization and satisfaction levels were relatively low on the HIV/AIDS component. Likewise, there is a significant relationship found between the respondents’ level of awareness and utilization of the HI-5 program. Conclusion: The results of the study highlight the need to conduct further information dissemination campaign to increase the level of awareness, utilization, satisfaction and improve the extent of implementation on the HI- 5 Program among beneficiaries especially on the HIV / AIDS Component.
Early mobilization versus bed rest for incidental durotomy: an institutional cohort study
Authors: Verma Ketan , Freelin Anne H. , Atkinson Kelsey A. , Graham Robert S. , Broaddus William C.
Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to assess whether flat bed rest for > 24 hours after an incidental durotomy improves patient outcome or is a risk factor for medical and wound complications and longer hospital stay.

METHODS

Medical records of consecutive patients undergoing thoracic and lumbar decompression procedures from 2010 to 2020 were reviewed. Operative notes and progress notes were reviewed and searched to identify patients in whom incidental durotomies occurred. The need for revision surgery related to CSF leak or wound infection was recorded. The duration of bed rest, length of hospital stay, and complications (pulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, and wound) were recorded. The rates of complications were compared with regard to the duration of bed rest (≤ 24 hours vs > 24 hours).

RESULTS

A total of 420 incidental durotomies were identified, indicating a rate of 6.7% in the patient population. Of the 420 patients, 361 underwent primary repair of the dura; 254 patients were prescribed bed rest ≤ 24 hours, and 107 patients were prescribed bed rest > 24 hours. There was no statistically significant difference in the need for revision surgery (7.87% vs 8.41%, p = 0.86) between the two groups, but wound complications were increased in the prolonged bed rest group (8.66% vs 15.89%, p = 0.043). The average length of stay for patients with bed rest ≤ 24 hours was 4.47 ± 3.64 days versus 7.24 ± 4.23 days for patients with bed rest > 24 hours (p < 0.0001). There was a statistically significant increase in the frequency of ileus, urinary retention, urinary tract infections, pulmonary issues, and altered mental status in the group with prolonged bed rest after an incidental durotomy. The relative risk of complications in the group with bed rest ≤ 24 hours was 50% less than the group with > 24 hours of bed rest (RR 0.5, 95% CI 0.39–0.62; p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

In this retrospective study, the rate of revision surgery was not higher in patients with durotomy who underwent immediate mobilization, and medical complications were significantly decreased. Flat bed rest > 24 hours following incidental durotomy was associated with increased length of stay and increased rate of medical complications. After primary repair of an incidental durotomy, flat bed rest may not be necessary and appears to be associated with higher costs and complications.

It is found that 0–30 cm arable layer density was in the range from 1.09 to 1.32 g/cm3 regardless of the tillage system at the beginning of spring field work. The compaction of 0–30 cm soil layer (by 0.02–0.14 g/cm3) was at the shallow mulching due to the loosening depth reduction to 12–14, 14–16 cm. There is an inversely proportion between soil porosity and density, i.e. the higher density, the lower pore volume in the soil. We can increase the porosity (up to 54.3 %) and improve the soil aeration (30.3–32.4 %) due to the primary tillage (especially plowing and chisel loosening) and crop residues, which leads to soil decompaction and the significant pore formation. At the end of field crop vegetation, there was a natural compaction of the soil due to natural and technogenic factors. As a result, the pore volume decreased by an average of 2.7–5.7 % under moldboard plowing and differentiated tillage system and by 1.5–3, 5 % – shallow nonmoldboard loosening. In the spring and during the growing season, the compaction of porous soil under the moldboard plowing and differentiated tillage system has always been more intensive compared to shallow nonmoldboard tillage. It is established that on the recultivated lands the total porosity and aeration porosity indicators in the model with zonal soil at long-term use of fertile layer gradually increased (52.5 → 59.2 → 60.3 %), however with the completion of intensive use of perennial agrocenosises they decreased to 56.4 %. For the model with loess-like loams, the patterns were similar. The increase of total porosity and aeration porosity in model with clays compared with the initially formed technosoils was observed. Key words: field crops, tillage system, density, porosity, chisel tillage, disking, bulk fertile layer.

In Ukraine, as in the rest of the world, the part of lands contaminated with pollutants, in particular, heavy metals, is growing. However, on these lands it is possible to grow crops that provide safe, economically viable products. The study of the maize agrocenosis state in the conditions of soil contamination with lead, cadmium, zinc testified that the crops have the high resistance to the increase of metal content in the soil environment. Maize as a grain crop has a high viability and buffer barrier to pollutants. It is able to partially accumulate and fix the metals by the root system, bringing to the commodity part of the crop only a small proportion of them, not exceeding the maximum allowable concentration, and reduce the risk of further expansion of areas contaminated with these ecotoxicants. The variants are provided by the experiment allowed to obtain a grain yield of 7.36–9.32 t/ha (average level of variation 10.24 %). In plots with 5–100-fold excess of the background of heavy metals, the grain yield tended to a reducing by1.16–1.96 t/ha (LSD05 = 1.88) compared to the control, i.e. the loss of maize yield was 12–21 %. It was found that soil contamination with pollutants led to a decrease in yield and profit compared to the natural background (control). The maximum income (14 575 UAH/ha) was obtained in the variant with a natural background, which is associated with a high yield of maize grain. The analysis of research results showed that the profitability of maize grain production at the yield of 7.36–9.32 t/ha varied according to the level of ecotope contamination with pollutants and amounted to 31–63 %. The profitability is indicator that makes it possible to comprehensively assess all factors. The cultivation of maize in areas with soil contamination with heavy metals exceeding by 5 and 10 times the natural background provided a level of profitability of 39 and 44 %, respectively, and was economically feasible. This allowed to effectively use the agriculture lands with constantly renewed soil contamination for profit from the cultivation of agricultural products while preventing the expansion of the contamination area. Key words: corn, heavy metals, yield, profit, economic efficiency, profitability.

Published: March 2022

The article considers the theory and methods of assessing the liquidity and solvency of the enterprise through the prism of financial management, which results in the interaction of all elements of financial relations of the enterprise, characterized by a system of indicators, reflecting the availability, allocation and use of financial resources. The interpretation of the economic category “liquidity and solvency management” of the enterprise is studied, namely the authors note that this is the process of developing and making effective management decisions to fulfill business obligations in full and on time due to available means of payment to ensuring stable development of the business entity in the current and future period. The purpose and main tasks of liquidity and solvency management of the enterprise are determined. The main stages of the process of liquidity and solvency management of business entities, as well as the main stages of their analysis. The authors noted that the formation of liquidity and solvency management policy should be based on the following basic principles of financial management: systematic, planned, focused, strategic, variability. The content of strategies for financing current assets is singled out and characterized: ideal; aggressive; conservative; compromise. When choosing a strategy for financing current assets, it is necessary to focus on the desired relationship between the level of profitability and the level of risk of loss of solvency of the enterprise, which is estimated by the required amount of working capital. For effective solvency management, it is necessary to determine which activities and which elements of assets or liabilities have contributed to the growth or reduction of cash, current assets, working capital and working capital and to what extent. At the same time, the assessment of the solvency of the enterprise should focus primarily on the study and analysis of the causes of financial difficulties of the enterprise. The authors noted that liquidity and solvency management is an important component of financial management and the implementation of effective liquidity and solvency management is the basis for further development of enterprises, which in turn will affect their investment attractiveness and competitiveness.

The potential for migration for development is closely linked to remittances, savings and investment intentions of migrant workers. However, the question of how the human, social and financial capital of migrant workers can be better used for the development of Ukraine is becoming increasingly important. What can the authorities do at the national, regional and local levels to increase the positive impact and remittances of migrant workers on Ukraine’s future development? Based on the analysis results the following conclusions were drawn. Situation on the labor market of Ukraine, low level real wages, a decrease in the number of enterprises, rising unemployment, leads to the fact that Ukrainians are looking for work abroad. As a result, remittances from migrants are growing. The study is devoted to the analysis of remittances and migration processes in Ukraine. The data on the volume of private remittances of migrants are analyzed, the data on the distribution of the volume of remittances from abroad by channels of receipt are considered. The shares of private remittances to Ukraine by main countries were determined. The systems of transfers that are the most popular in Ukraine are compared. The structure of the volume of remittances from abroad by sources of formation is analyzed. An assessment of the impact of remittances and savings on the socio-economic development of Ukraine was made, as well as the provision of relevant data to support evidence-based recommendations to promote stability and sustainable socio-economic development in Ukraine. The consequences of migration processes are ambiguous, but their impact on the socio-economic and political development of Ukraine is growing. The degree of this influence largely depends on the effectiveness of the state’s migration policy.
CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSURANCE MARKET IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, SYDORCHUK Ivanna
Published: March 2022

The given statistical data show that the interest of Ukrainians in insurance and the level of financial literacy of the population is growing, trust in insurance services is increasing. However, the crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis in 2020 continued to have a moderate impact on insurers. Insurers’ insurance premiums reported to the National Bank maintained an upward trend, but the increase was halved. The problematic consequences of the pandemic for insurers are: reduction of the share of insurance premiums for aviation insurance and property insurance; reducing the number of contracts related to new car insurance; difficulty in the organization of remote customer service by employees of the insurance company, namely the assessors of insurance losses; elimination of small insurance companies that failed to organize quality online services. The pandemic has led to both positive and negative consequences in the activities of domestic insurers. It gave a new impetus to the development of insurance culture among Ukrainian citizens. People began to understand the importance of such a service, especially life and health insurance. Therefore, it can be argued that most insurance companies in the market were able to adjust and find solutions for stable operation in conditions of economic danger. Thus, according to the current process of formation of the insurance market in Ukraine, we came to the conclusion that its further successful development will depend on: effective control over the activities of insurers by the state; strengthening the capital requirements of insurers, their solvency and assets; adaptation of domestic insurance legislation in accordance with the norms, rules and requirements of European and world markets; introduction of innovative insurance technologies and the latest service quality standards in this area; creation of associations of insurers on the most important insurance issues; creation of a comprehensive system of training and retraining; promotion of insurance services among the population.

Published: March 2022

The article considers the problem of improving the efficiency of management work at enterprises operating in the field of logistics in international markets. The efficiency of corporate personnel and successful corporate activities largely depends on the level of competence of employees, which is the most important component of personnel management and compliance with personnel strategy. Today, human resources are considered the most important internal resource to improve production efficiency, so effective personnel management is the key to business success and efficiency. Human resource management involves the formation of “correct” model of employee behavior, so that their qualifications and professionalism meet the requirements of the company, actively initiate and implement their desires in the process. To ensure and improve the skills of managers, rational organization and management should be considered as a prerequisite for effective human resource management, which requires the establishment of new effective methods and forms of selection, placement, evaluation and development of skills. Management of various spheres of public life has its own characteristics, and the study of the management process requires differentiated methods, which is the subject of special research. Management activity is a kind of consciously carried out human activity, the purpose of which is to ensure the effectiveness of work performed (individual or collective), to achieve certain goals, to solve related tasks, to perform functions. The concept of “management” is broader than the concept of “management work”, because management activities include management, work, man and nature, in other activities, management activities are leading and guiding. The impact is not in management, but in the process of its implementation. In modern scientific thought, we can identify various methods of defining the concept of managerial work and establish the essence of its category. However, despite the significant contribution of scientists in the study of managerial work, unresolved, in our opinion, remain issues related to the management of managerial work in the field of foreign economic activity of enterprises, including its development in such enterprises.

The study identifies Ukraine’s place in the Global Innovation Index for the period 2016-2021. In 2016, Ukraine ranked 56th, in 2017 – 50, in 2018 – 43, in 2019 – 47, in 2020 – 45 and in 2021 – 49, which indicates the deterioration of Ukraine’s position in 2021. It was revealed that the strengths of Ukraine are the results of knowledge and technology; human capital and research, and the weaknesses are institutions and infrastructure. The paper analyzes the innovative activity of industrial enterprises of Ukraine in the period 2016 – 2020 in the context of successful implementation of innovative projects. It was found that the share of the number of industrial enterprises that implemented innovations, ie to implement innovative projects (products and / or technological processes) in the total number of industrial enterprises was the highest in 2016 and amounted to 16.6%. The growth rate of the share of industrial enterprises that implemented innovations in 2017 compared to 2016 is -13.86%; 2018 to 2017 – 9.09%; 2019 to 2018 – – 1.54%; 2020 (preliminary data) to 2019 – 7.97%.

It was found out that influencer activity is the leading form of education and advertising in the 21st century and can be described as an industry effort that tries to promote products to raise brand awareness through content disseminated by social media users who are considered influential. The process of digitalization as the main prerequisite for the development of influencer activities is analyzed. Approaches to the understanding and features of the work of tourism influencers are considered. The tourisml industry is one of those niches that are heavily influenced by influencer activities. Tourism influencers of Ukraine in the 21st century are very important. They work mostly on such online platforms as Instagram and YouTube. The level and characteristics of digitalization, structure of the market of tourism influencers’ activities and features of their work in Ukraine, are studied. The most popular Ukrainian tourism influencers travel a lot around the world, but some devote a lot of time to exploring their home country, looking for unique places and tourist attractions. Usually the main goal of their blogs is to popularize Ukrainian places that are still unknown to the average tourist. Problems and prospects of the organizing of the activities of tourism influencers in Ukraine are defined, and recommendations for improving their work are developed. All influencers in Ukraine are not protected or regulated by law. There is also the problem of the lack of correct terminology used in relation to the influencers. Already now, new social media are becoming popular among younger generation, so Ukrainian tourism influencers should use these platforms in their work.

The modern development of the economic system of our state requires the use of new scientific knowledge and innovations. The scientific sphere is a small segment of the economy in our country, as of 2020 the share of this industry in Ukraine’s GDP was only 3.04% and is much lower than this figure in Germany (6.24%), Spain (4.68%) ), Poland (5.92%) and France (8.44%). Science-intensive enterprises and intangible assets are interrelated, as the production capacity of enterprises in this industry depends on the availability of intellectual property rights. However, intangible assets are underestimated in the activities of Ukrainian science-intensive enterprises, and therefore today professional, scientific and technical activities (industry M) in the country is experiencing a crisis, which reduces the prestige of scientific work. The article considers the issues of approaches to the classification of intangible assets for accounting purposes. The main documents governing the accounting of intangible assets in our country are highlighted. Different approaches to the essence of intangible assets in scientific and regulatory sources are analyzed. It was found that intangible assets are one of the least studied categories in accounting. The share of the scientific sphere in GDP has been studied. The structure of investments in intangible assets of Ukrainian enterprises is analyzed. The importance of expenses for professional training, retraining and advanced training for innovative enterprises of the “M” branch is established. As a result, we concluded that the issue of classification of intangible assets remains unresolved, and therefore is relevant, and provided recommendations for improving the accounting and analytical management of knowledge-intensive enterprises.

The article analyzes the improvement of the mechanism of current asset management in enterprises as a condition for their effective functioning. Current asset management is a purposeful activity of an enterprise related to determining the amount of current assets, the risk of losses received as a result of a shortage of certain components of current assets, as well as related to control over their formation, use and creation of appropriate organizational prerequisites. The process of improving the mechanism of current asset management of enterprises should include the following stages: analysis of the total volume, composition, structure and efficiency of using current assets in the previous period, selection of the type of current asset formation policy, justification of the quantitative characteristics of the formulated goals, ensuring the optimal volume of all types of current assets, ensuring the optimal ratio of constant and variable parts of current assets, ensuring the necessary level of liquidity and speed of turnover of current assets, ensuring the necessary level of profitability and acceptable level of risk of current assets, selecting forms and sources of financing current assets, monitoring and controlling the current state of current assets and making appropriate corrective decisions. Improving the current asset management mechanism of the enterprise will allow managers to use it to ensure stable functioning and predict the development of the enterprise in the future. If the financial and economic mechanism of current asset management is improved, it will be possible to achieve long-term goals, as well as increase the level of competitiveness of the enterprise in the market.
