A TRIASSIC OROGENIC GOLD MINERALIZATION EVENT IN THE PALEOPROTEROZOIC METAMORPHIC ROCKS: EVIDENCE FROM TWO TYPES OF RUTILE IN THE BAIYUN GOLD DEPOSIT, LIAODONG PENINSULA, NORTH CHINA CRATON
Authors: Zheng Jiahao , Chen Bin , Liu Shuaijie , Bao Chuang
Published: September 2022

Rutile grains often occur in different types of gold deposits, and their U-Pb ages have been widely used to determine the formation time of gold mineralization. However, the origin of rutile grains in the gold deposits remains controversial. In this paper, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses of U-Pb ages and trace elements on rutile grains were applied to investigate the metamorphic and hydrothermal processes of the Baiyun gold deposit (70 t Au, avg grade: 3 g/t) in the Liaodong Peninsula in the northeastern part of the North China craton. Rutile grains in the hydrothermal altered gold schist from the Baiyun deposit yielded two group ages of 1924 ± 18 and 237.0 ± 1.8 Ma, respectively. Combined with our systematic U-Pb zircon geochronological results of the ore-hosting schists and post-ore dikes, we suggest these rutile ages record a Paleoproterozoic metamorphic event and a Triassic hydrothermal gold mineralization event, respectively. The metamorphic and hydrothermal rutile grains have no obvious textural differences, but they show distinct trace element contents of Zr, W, Nb, and Ta. Combined with previous published data, we propose that high W (>1,000 ppm) and low Zr (<200 ppm) contents in rutile can be used to distinguish hydrothermal rutile from metamorphic and magmatic rutile. The newly identified ca. 237 Ma hydrothermal event is much older than the ca. 227 to 210 Ma Triassic magmatic rocks in the region, which precludes a temporal and genetic link between the Baiyun gold mineralization and the regional Mesozoic magmatism. Rather, the ca. 237 Ma gold mineralization may be associated with the Triassic orogenic metamorphism, and Baiyun is an orogenic gold deposit. The Triassic gold deposits in the northern margin of the North China craton formed by orogenesis between the Siberian craton and the North China craton. After a hiatus, the large-scale gold deposits formed during the Early Cretaceous in the North China craton due to a westward subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate beneath the craton since the Early Jurassic. Our study highlights that rutile in gold deposits may be inherited from the host rocks and/or formed by hydrothermal fluids. Distinguishing between these two different rutile generations requires a combination of in situ age dating and trace element geochemistry in petrogenetic context.
Stock Liquidity and Capital Structure: Evidence from NSE Listed Top 100 Non-Finance Indian Firms
Authors: Ranjan Dutta Shubha , Sen Som Sankar , Mukherjee Tutun
Published: September 2022

This study has investigated the influence of the stock liquidity (measured by Amihud’s illiquidity) of a company on its capital structure using the top 100 non-finance firms listed in the NSE from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Using the fixed-effect panel regression model, the study has established that illiquidity has a significant affirmative influence on the book and market leverage. Furthermore, the findings reveal that turnover representing the business size and return on assets have adverse associations with both book and market leverage. Moreover, asset tangibility bears a positive influence on book leverage. The results endorse the usefulness of the notion of Peckingorder in the context of Indian companies.

Authors:   Professor, General Management, Media and Entertainment, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and  Research, Mumbai (Maharashtra), India., Bhushan Dr. Uma
Published: September 2022

This study is a brief review of the literature on the media uses and gratification among students of higher education in India. With the proliferation of social media and the pandemic-induced lockdown of the past two years, it is important to understand – how students use social media, seek and gain gratification from it, because with the proliferation of large number of social media networking sites and the magnitude of traffic that it generates, brands today put a significant weightage on promotions via these channels as the engagement metrics of these particular sites are new currencies of today’s connected world. The demography, ‘College going students’ was specifically chosen as they are consumers of tomorrow and their buying behaviour pattern will direct and shape the dimensions of future markets. The area of focus for this study was to review the published literature on the uses and gratifications of Media (specifically social media) uses among college going students through the lens of the ‘Uses and gratification’ theory. What are the gratifications sought and gratifications obtained through Social Networking Sites (hereinafter SNS)? Why people choose specific site/ service for a particular desire to be fulfilled? Why the internet – a great platform for searching and sharing information, is being utilized by college students primarily for communication and social networking activities rather than for the academic purposes? How the gratifications sought differ between males and females? What are the major motivations and needs for the consumers, belonging to demography stated above, to join SNS? The difference in treatment and the gratification sought from professional SNS like ‘LinkedIn’ and if there are any improvements or increase in efficiency in learning process due to incorporation of SNS in academics? The review found that Students prefer to spend more time online communicating and socialising using internet resources than devoting it for academic pursuits. Why people are so enamoured with social media is explained by its "user-friendly" and "let users manage" features as well as its user-generated material. Higher education students want to be involved in their communities; therefore, they seek out to their peer network in an effort to do so. Social fulfilment leads to adoption. College students use and built social capital on different social media platforms for gratification of their various desires. The gratifications sought and obtained varies from platform to platform.

Authors: Masilamani Poomaruthai , Annadurai K. , Saravanapandian P. , Bhaskaran M.
Published: September 2022

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different soil alkaline pH and organic matter on germination, seedling growth attributes and bio-chemical constituents of Hardwickia binata Roxb. The seeds were sown in soil with different pH (8.1, 9.0, 10.2 and 10.5) mixed with sand + farm yard manure (2:1:1 ratio) and compared with control (red earth + sand + farm yard manure at 2:1:1 ratio). Fourteen days after sowing it was found that the seeds sown in normal nursery soil (mixture of red earth + sand + farm yard manure) showed maximum germination (89.0%) and initial seedling vigour (1568), which was similar with seeds sown in soil with pH 10.2 + sand + farm yard manure. In 180 days old seedlings, the biometric and biochemical constituents recorded were higher in control treatment. From this experiment, it could be concluded that the Hardwickia binata seeds sown in higher soil pH along with sand and farm yard manure mixture showed good germination, seedling growth and biochemical constituents.

Authors: Abdelaal Mohammad S. , Small Ilan , Sherman Matthew B. , Courtney P. Maxwell , Sharkey Peter F.
Published: September 2022

Background:

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic has continued to generate notable disruption in elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is any difference in patient characteristics, revenue, and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing THA and TKA after the start of the pandemic.

Methods:

We reviewed a consecutive series of 26,493 patients undergoing primary and revision THA and TKA by 48 surgeons in a single arthroplasty practice. We compared demographics, comorbidities, outcomes, and surgeon revenue from THA and TKA procedures from March 2020 to February 2021 with a prepandemic group undergoing a procedure from March 2019 to February 2020.

Results:

There was a 20% decline in the volume of all cases in the pandemic group (11,688 versus 14,664, P < 0.001). The postpandemic cohort had shorter length of stay (1.58 versus 1.70 days, P = 0.007), had higher rates of home discharge (98% versus 91%, P < 0.001), and were more likely to have their procedure done at an outpatient facility (21% versus 7%, P < 0.001). Even among patients older than 65 years, more pandemic patients underwent a procedure as an outpatient (19% versus 7%, P < 0.001), with no difference in complications or readmissions. Total surgeon charges and payments declined by 17.6% and 16.3%, respectively, during the pandemic (P = 0.010).

Conclusion:

Although the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a notable reduction in surgical volume and revenue loss for our practice, we found a marked shift of arthroplasty patients to outpatient facilities with increased rates of home discharge without compromising patient safety.
GLOBAL ORGANIZATIONS IN MUSLIM WORLD: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION
Authors:   University of Malaya (Malaysia), Ahmad Ansari Bashir , Murshed Amer Abdulwahab ,   University of Malaya (Malaysia)
Published: September 2022

After its victory over Greece and the Treaty of Lausanne, the Turkish Republic declared its inability to bear the responsibility for Muslims. For the second time in the history of Islam, the Muslim World found itself without an institution representing them, speaking on their behalf, and defending their causes. This resounding collapse of historic Ottoman Caliphate caused peaceful and violent reactions from time to time, which continues to echo in the horizons of the Muslim World as of today. This paper explores efforts made by the governments of the Muslim majority countries and their peoples through popular and governmental conferences, with the aim of establishing global/ international organizations with legal status that includes representatives of Muslim countries and communities, and work to support Muslim solidarity and unity.

Published: September 2022

The Muslim World League (MWL) is considered one of the oldest Islamic organizations that took care of charitable and relief work in the Islamic world. Over the past sixty years, it has worked to diversify its charitable, relief and humanitarian activities in line with its position as an organization in support of Muslim peoples. Besides, it has established several subsidiary organizations to handle the task of managing charitable and relief work, such as the International Commission for Relief, Welfare and Development, and the Supreme Council of Mosques, as well as other affiliated organizations that handle religious, cultural and scientific affairs. This article highlights the efforts made by the League in the health, educational, community and relief sectors, by analyzing the League’s official magazine and the periodicals.
MUSLIM WORLD LEAGUE’S EFFORTS TO CONFRONT ISLAMOPHOBIA

Published: September 2022

dangerous cultural consequences of the wave of extremism and violence that has shaken the world over the past three decades. The more extremism increases, Islamophobia increases, and the more Islamophobia increases, extremism increases at the same rate. This phenomenon has imposed its heavy consequences on Muslims in all Western and non-Western countries in which Muslims represent a minority of the social fabric. Many international and local organizations have endeavored to confront this phenomenon. The Muslim World League is considered to be one of the most active international Islamic organizations in combating and confronting this phenomenon. In this article I try to trace the cultural and religious efforts of the League in countries that suffer from increasing rates of Islamophobia, through which the League aims to mitigate the effects of this phenomenon - either by educating Muslims about further integration, or educating non-Muslims about the truth of the Islamic religion. That is how it tries to correct negative perceptual images they have about Islamic religion in the Western mentality, which are the underlying motivations behind the development and escalation of islamophobia.
FROM SAFE HAVEN TO MESSIANIC REDEMPTION: THE ASCENDANCE OF RELIGIOUS-ZIONISM
Authors:   Tel Aviv University (Israel), Peled Yoav
Published: September 2022

On June 13, 2021, Naftali Bennet was sworn in as Israel’s first ever Religious-Zionist Prime Minister. Although Bennet’s political party, Yamina (Rightward), currently has only seven seats in the Knesset (out of 120), and he heads a shaky coalition government, his election as Prime Minister symbolizes the progress made by Religious-Zionism towards achieving a hegemonic position in Israeli society. Historically, Religious-Zionism had been a junior partner in the historic bloc which sustained the hegemony of the Labor Zionist movement over the Zionist settlement project. However, the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973 gave the younger generation of Religious-Zionism the opportunity to take over their own movement and aim, as they put it, to move from the back seat to the driver’s seat of Israeli society. Labor Zionism’s loss of the political initiative regarding the territories occupied in 1967 provided the opening for that move. Religious-Zionism encompasses a whole range of religious and nationalist outlooks, but its most influential and dynamic element is the activist-Messianic tendency associated with Gush Emunim. The core interest and value of this dominant tendency is the permanent incorporation of the West Bank under Israeli sovereignty.

Most of the family-based interventions focus on assisting patients more than the family caregivers. Family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia require intervention that focuses more on their strengths than on solving problems for persons with schizophrenia. Of 127 family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia, 63 were in the intervention group and 64 were in the control group. The 4 sessions of intervention were held every other week. All participants were assessed for psychological well-being and burden of care at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 3 months follow up. After receiving the intervention, the intervention group had a significant increase in psychological well-being but did not have a significant decrease in the burden of care. Further research is needed to develop specific interventions to better alleviate the burden of care for family caregivers, which might include skill-building and psychoeducation to care for persons with schizophrenia.

The prevalence and burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia are increasing. One major risk factor for NCDs is smoking. Thus, this study assessed sociodemographic predictors of smoking persistence among young males in Indonesia, who are at high risk for smoking and NCDs. We analysed the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) conducted in 2017, a nationally representative survey in 34 provinces of Indonesia. We included data from 9957 young males aged 15-24 who had tried smoking and were interviewed by the IDHS enumerators for their smoking patterns and sociodemographic characteristics. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the predictors of smoking persistency. Our analyses uncovered that those who started smoking at high-school age, lived in rural areas, had an occupation, and had lower education levels, had higher odds of smoking persistence than other young males. The use of internet, also increased the odds of smoking persistence, while those reading newspapers had lower odds of smoking persistence. Regarding household characteristics, young males who came from poor households, whose household heads were smokers or not married, also had higher odds of smoking. In conclusion, this study also showed the significance of several individual variables and household sociodemographic factors related to smoking persistence. Based on our findings, we recommend the need for intervention that aims not only at large-scale policy to ban smoking and educational campaigns through the internet but also specific educational intervention targeting families, particularly poor families with active smokers. The educational campaign is also needed to target the younger population, who are at higher risk for smoking persistence if they start smoking earlier.

Scaling-up Green Hydrogen Development with Effective Policy Interventions
Authors: Acharya Abhijeet
Published: September 2022

Discussions around hydrogen as a future energy source have taken center stage in the last few years. Countries have recognized the benefits of hydrogen as an effective energy carrier and consider it a promising transition pathway to achieve net-zero objectives. Several countries support the development of green hydrogen as part of a long-term strategy. Among various hydrogen generation options (Green, Blue, Grey), green hydrogen generated from renewable electricity and water electrolysis is considered sustainable and climate safe. However, green hydrogen development is still at a niche stage and faces various technical challenges and economic viability issues. This paper discusses how effective policy interventions focused on addressing technical and commercial challenges can help scale-up green hydrogen generation. The paper discussed policy interventions by countries like France, Germany, Japan, the UK, the US, and other EU nations leading green hydrogen development and proposed a push-pull policy model. The proposed policy model combines demand-side policy interventions with supply-side policies to scale-up green hydrogen development.

The Contradiction Between the Sayings of the Commentators and Dealing with them through the Tafseer Al Mawardi (Annukat Wal Uyoun) in two Surah (Maryam & Ta-Ha)
Authors: Asghar Kalsoom
Published: September 2022

Studying the different sayings of the commentators and knowing the reasons for this difference and their types is very important, in order to know how to deal with the books of interpretation, especially with regard to the various sayings contained therein.
The research aims to study the difference of opinion among the commentators which is apparently contradictory in Tafseer-Al-Mawardi (Annukkat Wal Uyoun) in two surahs (Maryam and Ta-Ha) and to study the reasons on which was built the contradiction between them and to study the divisions of contradiction and its types and conditions for accepting two contradictory meanings. And how do we deal with it, do we accept it or not?
And is it possible to give weighting when it is possible to combine the sayings and when it is not possible to combine the sayings with an explanation of the reasons for the weighting of one of the sayings and the reasons for choosing it by explaining the well-known rules of weighting? Does this difference affect the meaning of the verse or not?
Deep Learning-based Lung Cancer Classification of CT Images using Augmented Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: AR BUSHARA
Published: September 2022

Lung cancer is worldwide the second death cancer, both in prevalence and lethality, both for women and men. The applicability of machine learning and pattern classification in lung cancer detection and classification is proposed. Pattern classification algorithms can classify the input data into different classes underlying the characteristic features in the input. Early identification of lung cancer using pattern recognition can save lives by analyzing the significant number of Computed Tomography images. Convolutional Neural Networks recently achieved remarkable results in various applications including Lung cancer detection in Deep Learning. The deployment of augmentation to improve the accuracy of a Convolutional Neural Network has been proposed. Data augmentation is utilized to find suitable training samples from existing training sets by employing various transformations such as scaling, rotation, and contrast modification. The LIDC-IDRI database is utilized to assess the networks. The proposed work showed an overall accuracy of 95%. Precision, recall, and F1 score for benign test data are 0.93, 0.96, and 0.95, respectively, and 0.96, 0.93, and 0.95 for malignant test data. The proposed system has impressive results when compared to other state-of-the-art approaches.

Soft skills valued by Maldivian college students as they prepare for lifelong learning, career success, and citizenship
Authors: Zahir Hidaya Mohamed
Published: September 2022

Soft skills such as adaptability, innovation, creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, leadership and resilience are transferable skills expected of university graduates, to find sustainable solutions to the challenging and complex problems faced by the society in the 21st century. This necessitates the need to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of programs of study that are not contributing greatly to student’s future career success and to the economy in general. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to explore the soft skills Maldivian college students consider important, as they complete higher education and prepare for the 21st century world of life, work, and citizenship. A purposive sample of 18 students from three different colleges in Male’ was interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The findings revealed that college graduates valued essential soft skills such as adaptability, communication, collaboration, and problem solving skills, and realised they needed these skills to be competent and successful in the world of work. They also identified weaknesses in college curriculum and pedagogy which hindered them from learning and practicing these skills. Significantly concerning was that these students did not have the opportunities to consider innovation, creativity, and cultural citizenship as important skills they could gain during their tertiary education experience. This indicates that regular revisions to curricular should be made to address and accommodate graduates’ deficiencies in soft skills which are transferrable to the workplace. Students also should be given applied projects, case studies, and experiential learning to narrow the soft skills gaps.

The main objective of economic development and economic growth is to implement national policies that can serve the multidimensional problems of society, but also to assess the possible effects that the implemented policies will have on the prospects of progressivity. The main purpose of this paper is to highlight the fact that the general well-being of the population is perfectly intertwined with the objectives of growth and economic development, being a timely topic to address in this research. Development does not only involve GDP growth, but also exceeds this level, towards a qualitative change in society's plans, which translates into ensuring the well-being of the population. This research aims to highlight the fact that economic development is the expansion beyond the gross domestic product, through changes that refer to people's quality of life, in the long run and in which the elements characteristic of economic growth become fundamental elements of development. In this context, this research will delineate the policies needed to ensure development, in parallel with a growing economic level, considering that not only income-based fiscal policies are needed, but also subjective population-centred policies that take into account, not only economic but also social conditions, which contribute to the quality of life. The methodology was based on the study of specialized literature, so that the research results to end with a comprehensive definition of the well-being of society. Through this qualitative research, this paper adds value to the literature, highlighting the fact that growth and development are promoters of well-being.
BEHAVIOUR AND INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL MARKET
Authors:   Romanian Academy, DINGA Emil
Published: September 2022

Generally, the main three logical models of financial markets (Efficient Market Hypothesis – EMH, Adaptive Market Hypothesis – AMH, and even – partially – Behavioural Market Hypothesis – BMH) take for granted the idea that information drives behaviour, therefore, information is always the channel through the decision is taken, no matter whether such a decision is optimal or sub-optimal. The paper critically examines such an „axiom” and proposes a causally inversion of the relation, that is, it argues that (in the most part), in fact, behaviour drives information, To this end, a new typology of information as well as a new typology of information mixes available to the economic agent are provided and discussed. The research is conducted in a logical key, and the two main findings are: a) the informational-based model of financial market should be replaced by a behaviour-based one; b) the informational efficiency of financial market should be replaced by a behavioural efficiency one. The paper claims its origin and target from institutionalism and evolutionism in the microeconomic academic research.
SIGNIFICANTS OF RAWLSIAN PRINCIPLES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIATIONS OF THE ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
Authors:   Romanian Academy (SCOSAAR), IONESCU Gabriela-Mariana
Published: September 2022

Considering economic inequality as a vulnerability, both in economic and social terms, the paper discusses, with the help of the two Rawlsian principles of difference (negative case - increase in economic inequality, positive case - decrease in economic inequality), nuances of the acceptability or unacceptability of any changes in it. The paper is structured in two sections, the context section, which presents the basic concepts and details of the difference principle in managing the growth of economic inequality, and a discussion section, which examines two aspects: a critical evaluation of the originary difference principle and a new (related) difference principle that can manage, from a social justice perspective, the decline of economic inequality in society.

All organizations encounter problems. All organizations are, at some point, in extreme situations, without knowing how to react. All organizations are looking for innovation and want to come up with something ingenious. But, actually, how can these problems be identified, defined and properly solved? Certainly, through design thinking. As a highly effective problem-solving approach, design thinking follows five significant steps, each one being presented in detail in the paper. This method can generate boundless success, yet it can also have no impact, if not exploited accordingly. Thus, in the current research paper, design thinking was linked to three different fields in Romania – education, IT and banking. The choice of education, IT and banking was made precisely due to the discrepancies between these sine-qua-non areas that cannot be excluded from the quotidian and that actively contribute to improving the quality of life. Altogether, the aim was to scrutinize how contrasting organizations consciously or unconsciously apply this innovative technique. Through a quantitative method of research, the degree of acceptability of the design thinking method was observed, but also the organizations’ effective ways for innovation. In this paper, it is identified to which extent solutions lead to or involve aspects of digitalization. Coronavirus pandemic led organizations to shift their processes into the online environment. In fact, during this period of time, organizations faced unprecedented problems that might be solved with the help of digitalization. In this regard, interconnecting digitalization with design thinking might be of real help, under the idea of innovation. The research outcomes reveal an accurate overview of the method use.
OPERATIONALIZING FARM SUSTAINABILITY, PARTICULARITIES FROM THE BEEKEEPING SECTOR
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, PANTA Nancy Diana
Published: September 2022

The activity of beekeeping is essential not only for agricultural production, but also for mankind. Even though beekeeping has been producing honey and other bee products for thousands of years, it is still quite poorly understood and analysed as a professional activity. In light of the challenges facing the sector today, integrating sustainability into beekeeping practices becomes not only optional, but necessary. In recent years, the concept of sustainability has received increasing attention in debates on agricultural policies, and stakeholders have become more and more interested in monitoring and evaluating agricultural practices. Still, assessing sustainability involves "breaking" its dimensions into various factors using indicators that provide information. This can often prove to be difficult to operationalize. Nevertheless, the matter of operationalizing sustainability was approached through different models which have led to numerous proposals for measuring and evaluating sustainability in the agricultural sector. However, despite the similarities, the beekeeping sub-sector is distinguished from the agricultural one by a number of characteristics which obviously need to be included in the models for assessing sustainable development. Therefore, this paper aims to consider the multitude of economic, social, environmental and governance particularities of Romanian beekeeping farms based on literature, and bring them forward through a bee farm sustainability assessment model.

The scope of this paper is to make an empirical analysis regarding the market model introduced by the American economist Wiliam Sharpe (1963), a research developed based on the idea of portfolio simplification. In this paper, we tested the ability to predict a market model for shares issued by Petrom S.A. company. The result shows that the market model can be used to predict the profitability of a security, the forecast errors being insignificant. The results of this paper can help the investors to decide when to invest.

Published: September 2022

The goal of the paper is to offer a review of the current business models, which can jointly highlight a profile, both of adherence to the concepts of “sustainable development” and of resilience to the critical variables (new and systemic), characterizing the present economic crisis also resulting from the pandemic emergency. After a brief historical reconstruction on the concept of “globalization”, the initial part of the paper tries to identify a business paradigm – the “hybrid company” – oriented towards the concept of “sustainable development”. The final part of the study offers a driver identification process of the “resilient company”, closely related to the concept of “business hybrid” (previously declined).

Introduction. The article analyzes the changes in approaches to the small economies financial openness improvement. It takes into account the new challenges of global economic instability and the contradictions of the European integration requirements of financial openness in the conditions of global economic destabilization and highlights possible ways of overcome them. Materials and methods. To disclose the theoretical model of the interconnection between financial openness, financial stability and economic growth has been used system-functional and comparative economic-statistical analysis methods based on World Bank and IMF statistic data. Results and discussion. It is emphasized that there is a trend towards strengthening control over capital flows at the global level and the removal of restrictions on the movement of international capital flows is one of the key requirements for the approximation of regulatory norms in the field of financial sector for countries going to join the EU with the regulatory framework of the latter. Given the current conditions of global uncertainty and the threat of increasing financial instability, the EU's position on the free movement of capital flows at this stage may be significantly revised. Due to the current conditions, the requirement of free movement of capital flows contradicts with a list of requirements for the approximation of the characteristics of the financial sector of the candidate countries and the EU. The need for a capital flow control policy for small open economies wishing to join the EU at this stage is not just only the need of ensuring macroeconomic stability, but also to the convergence criteria of systems, in particular in terms of joining to ERM II and BEPS. Conclusions. In overall case of small open economies, in the context of the implementation of European norms and the approximation of regulatory framework in the financial sector, it is necessary to talk about the feasibility of controlling the international capital flows at the stage of building adequate institutional environment as a support measure for further transition to free exchange rate and capital flows liberalization. As a proposal, it is stated that the elimination of identified contradictions and the transition to the free capital movement in the interests of Ukraine's European integration requires proper development of the country's financial sector and, above all, its institutional environment. The implementation of appropriate practical measures for the institutional provision of financial openness should include a policy of control over the movement of capital flows, which combines the potential of fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies in different segments of financial markets as part of the macroprudential policy.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of various learning technologies: digital, traditional, and blended learning in the educational process of a university. The authors show the results of research related to the analysis, development, and refinement of parameters, capabilities and implementation of digital technologies in the educational process. The analysis is carried out based on a set of surveys of students and teachers. A comparison of the impressions of the participants of the educational process and an analysis of its results during the transition from the classic model of the educational process to a blended (classic model with the use of digital educational technologies) anddistance learning is carried out. The results obtained were correlated with objective indicators — compliance with the academic schedule, average academic performance, and the level of residual knowledge. Significant advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of distance learning in the educational process were identified, on the part of both trainees and teachers. In conclusion, the authors summarize that the use of digital technologies makes it possible to create a learning environment around the student that forms professional digital innovative competencies.
