Authors: Arhipov Nazar
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The problem of the effectiveness of the enterprise does not lose its relevance throughout the development of economic theory. People have always faced the problem to achieve the desired result at the least cost. It is not surprising that the concept of "efficiency" has originally appeared in economic literature, and later it was reflected in other branches of science. It is especially relevant in the applied economy due to the fact that the effective activity of the company is an indispensable condition for its existence in market conditions.
Purpose. The article aims to study the evolution of the concept of efficiency and on its basis to clarify the essence of the concept of "efficiency of the operation of the enterprise".
Results. The basic stages of the evolution of the concept of efficiency in the scientific economic thought have been determined. The modern approaches to the definition of "efficiency" have been analysed. Author's definition of efficiency has been given. The research which is based on the principles of a systematic approach has used the methods of abstraction, analysis and synthesis, systematization and generalization.

Authors: Lytvynenko Volodymyr , Kamyns'ka Kateryna
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The article deals with the main approaches to reserves valuation in accordance with the requirements of national accounting standards. The methods of stock assessment at different stages of their circulation are considered: on stage of admission, on balance sheet date and at the time of disposal.
Purpose. The article aims to study the improvement of inventory assessment methodology at different stages of their circulation to ensure the accuracy of accounting information about the cost of stocks.
The method (methodology). The study used the methods of theoretical and logical generalization, comparison method, method of analysis and synthesis, method of abstraction and modelling.
Results. The article deals with the main approaches to inventory valuation in scientific literature and legal acts. Enterprises can independently choose the most appropriate methods of inventory valuation depending on the established accounting policies. The number of stock valuation methods, on the one hand, provides ample opportunity to reflect the real value of inventories, and on the other hand, it may lead to a reduction in the reliability of accounting data if the inventory method is wrongly chosen.
The study found out that most methods of stock assessment are focused on the principle of historical cost and the correct calculation of financial results. It does not always take into account the need to reflect the real (fair) value of inventories, which may lead to a reduction in the reliability of inventory data and indicators of the property status report of the enterprise.
Part of stocks has industry-specific features. Thus, agricultural products, unlike other types of inventory, at initial recognition can be assessed at fair value, reduced by expected costs to sell. It is proposed to extend to the assessment of other types of stocks.

Authors: Gryshova Inna , Shestakovska Tetiana
Published: October 2019

Social and economic provision of persons with disabilities should be considered as a process or result of the proper functioning of the institutional regulation mechanism in the context of the implementation of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services. These services are regulated and guaranteed by the state. The main criteria of life activities, which determine the establishment of a group of disability, can become the ability to self-service, movement, labour activity, orientation, communication, control over their behaviour and ability to study. The role of the state and public organizations, as institutions, which regulate social and economic provision of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services, is substantiated. The purpose and components of the institutional regulation of social and economic provision of persons with disabilities are determined. It is established that the institutional regulation of social and economic provision of persons with disabilities in the medical services market can be considered in two aspects: legislative action at the state and regional level (it can be mainly disclosed in health policy); determination of the level of financial support and quality of medical services for persons with disabilities. The problem of institutional regulation has been highlighted as the settlement of rights and opportunities regarding the availability of social and economic resources.

Published: October 2019

Dalam menilai status gizi balita, saat ini para tenaga kesehatan dan ibu balita menggunakan KMS, sayangnya alat tersebut tidak dapat mendeteksi kejadian balita pendek, karena tidak dilengkap indeks TB/U. Untuk melengkapinya, kalangan akademisi mengeluarkan software computer WHO anthro 2005, yang dapat mendeteksi seluruh masalah gizi, namun penggunaanya harus ditunjang dengan media elektronik yang dihubungkan jaringan internet,  sehingga relatif sulit diakses masyarakat. Pemerintah mengeluarkan buku Kepmenkes 2010 tentang penilaian status gizi balita berdasarkan antropometri, akan tetapi buku tersebut hanya dapat dipakai oleh tenaga kesehatan. Melihat kondisi tersebut, maka diperlukan suatu media yang dapat menilai status gizi balita berdasarkan berbagai indikator secara efektif dan efisien, mudah digunakan oleh tenaga kesehatan maupun masyarakat umum.

Telah dilakukan dua siklus penelitian dengan metode kuasi eksperimen, pada siklus I membandingkan efektivitas dan efisiensi penggunaan media rotar dengan buku yang dilakukan oleh bidan puskesmas dengan jumlah sampel 18 subjek. Siklus II yaitu mengetahui efektivitas dan efisiensi penggunaan media rotar yang dilakukan oleh ibu balita dan Bidan Praktik Mandiri (BPM) dengan masing-masing jumlah sampel 30 subjek. Efektivitas yang dimaksud adalah tuntas dalam menilai diagnosa, skor ketepatan hasil > 80% dan skor respon angket > 70%.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada siklus I, efektivitas penggunaan rotar adalah tuntas, 96,28% dan 93,33% (sangat positif), sedangkan hasil dari penggunaan buku adalah tuntas, 85,17% dan 67,96% (kurang positif). Untuk efisiensi, rata-rata waktu penggunaan media rotar dan buku berturut-turut adalah 33 detik dan 102 detik. Pada hasil penelitian siklus II, efektivitas penggunaan rotar oleh ibu balita adalah tuntas, 95,55% dan 89,33% (sangat positif), sedangkan bidan adalah tuntas, 97,77% dan t 92,67% (sangat positif). Untuk efisiensi penggunaan media rotar oleh ibu balita dan BPM berturut-turut adalah 33 detik dan 27 detik.

Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah penggunaan media rotar lebih efektif dan efisien dibandingkan dengan media buku dan penggunaan media rotar efektif dan efisien terhadap penilaian status gizi balita oleh ibu balita dan BPM.

The first and original use of metadata is for describing documents. XML, the Dublin Core and MARC library catalog records are examples. The name "metadata" (beyond or with data) and the popular definition "data about data" is based on this use. A second use of metadata is to form organizing structures by means of which documents can be arranged. These structures can be used both to search for individual documents and also to identify patterns within a population of documents. The second role of metadata involves an inversion of the relationship between document and metadata. These structures can be considered infrastructure.

This work explores Social Networks map generation in the area of the Metric Studies, Bibliometry and Scientometry. This kind of map show (i) index of co-authors by area ISI, (ii) comparative of the documentary typology of registries source by citation, (iii) which authors have made the biggest scientific contribution, (iv) authors which have the biggest citation, (v) the documents more mentioned and (vi) the more relevant magazines related to the information consumption. The evaluation had been modeled by centrality and frequency, inquired amongst 635 registers rescued on the thematic. The main registers source has been the packages of the Institute for Scientific Information (Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index and Arts & Humanities), and the studied period goes from 1975 to 2005. To realize the data treatment we used CiteSpace application, which has given the relation maps, a methodology of documentary control, developed by Efrain-García.
