Cloud Accounting: A Theoretical Overview
Authors: Ali Shahnawaz
Published: November 2024

The literature on the topic of the Use and Integration of Accounting Software is quite extensive, but less broad in the context of challenges faced by SMEs, and even more and narrow when we look at the limited literature on the numerous challenges faced in a geographically dispersed location such as Oman. This literature review analyzes and investigates existing research on the challenges faced by SMEs in using and integrating accounting software, to find out the most significant and relevant variables previously identified through previous studies. The aim being to apply a select few of those variables and apply them to the context of Oman to identify the specific obstacles that Omani SMEs face. The literature review involved a methodical exploration of diverse academic databases, employing specific search terms such as “SMEs,” “accounting software,” “challenges,” “adoption,” “integration,” and “small business.” The selection criteria focused on peer-reviewed articles and subsequently, a comprehensive evaluation of abstracts and full-texts led to the identification of about 20 pertinent studies for in-depth analysis. The research looked upon coordinate with the central and fundamental themes and dimensions of the topic, and mainly consists of secondary data including peer reviewed journals on the importance of accounting software and the benefits for SMEs in comparison with traditional or manual accounting. Moreover, the main obstacles faced by SMEs in the adoption of accounting software is reviewed as well. The review of the selected literature has revealed that although there are numerous factors or challenges that influence the proper use and integration of accounting software, the studies all found certain key variables that stand out in relation to others. Furthermore, the most significant challenges faced seem to be affected by other variables such as the level of development of the economy or country or special circumstances such as the Covid-19 Pandemic. This means that this research which is carried out in less developed economy, and in a post-pandemic environment is necessary to reflect the actual circumstances of Omani SMEs implementing accounting software.

Published: November 2024

Aims: High-dose corticosteroids to control acute relapses of multiple sclerosis, leveraging their anti-inflammatory effects. However, these treatments can lead to cardiovascular side effects. Understanding the pathophysiology of corticosteroid induced bradycardia is paramount for healthcare providers. Our aim in this study are to identify risk factors for cardiac side effects and assess the timing of cardiac complications relative to treatment.
Methods: Patients who met the McDonald's criteria for definite MS and patients requiring admission for pulse steroid treatment with an acute recurrence were included.Individuals taking cardiac medications, or with a heart illness were excluded.Patients were given 1 g IV methylprednisolone in 2 hours for five to seven days in order to treat acute relapses.
Results: We studied with 23 patients(6 males and 17 females, 26.1/73.9% respectively).The mean±SD age of the patients was 34.6±9.9 (18-43) years and the mean±SD duration of disease was 5.5±4.9 years.Most of the patients were relapsing–remitting MS in 73.9%, primary progressive in 4.4% and secondary progressive in 21.7%.The most common cardiac arhythmia during corticosteroid pulse therapy was sinus bradycradia(n=6).
Conclusion: The combination of direct effects on cardiac myocytes, electrolyte disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, and individual genetic factors can contribute to the development of bradycardia in MS patients treated with high-dose methylprednisolone. Close monitoring and prompt intervention are crucial to manage this adverse effect and optimize patient safety.
Efficacy of ChromaGen lenses in enhancing color perception in color vision deficiency: a critical evaluation
Authors: Günerigök Mehmet Sait , Timuçin Özgür Bülent , Özmen Ahmet Tuncer
Published: November 2024

Aims: Despite advancements in color vision correction, evidence supporting the efficacy of ChromaGen haploscopic filter systems in improving color perception remains limited. This study primarily investigates the performance of ChromaGen lenses (CL).
Methods: The study included 27 volunteers diagnosed with color vision deficiency (CVD). An anomaloscope was used to detect color vision defects. Participants underwent color vision tests (Ishihara and Panel D15) both with and without CL. The results were statistically analyzed.
Results: All participants were male, aged 21 to 57. Among them, 12 (44%) had protan defect (10 protanopes, 2 protanomalies) and 15 (56%) had deutan defect (12 deuteranopes, 3 deuteranomalies). Without CL, protan defect participants read 2.0±1.0 pages on the Ishihara test, while deutan defect participants read 3.0±1.9 pages. With CL, protan defect participants read 4.5±2.2 pages and deutan defect participants read 14.2±0.9 pages, showing statistically significant improvement (p<0.05). The difference between protan and deutan groups was also statistically significant (p<0.05). In the Panel D15 test, without the use of CL 81% of individuals with protanopia and deuteranopia made significant errors, whereas participants with protanomaly and deuteranomaly performed well. No significant improvement was noted with CL in the Panel D15 results. Twenty-three participants preferred magenta and four preferred pink CL. Fifteen participants expressed interest in using CL solely to pass the Ishihara test.
Conclusion: This study concludes that commercially available ChromaGen filters do not provide clinically significant evidence of improved subjective color perception. Therefore, recommending these devices to the CVD population for color perception may not be highly beneficial. However ChromaGen lenses may be used by some CVD patients to pass the Ishihara test.

Published: November 2024

Aims: To evaluate the effects of steroid treatment on the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in patients with non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
Methods: The retrospective study included 24 eyes of 24 patients who received 1 gram/day pulse steroid treatment for 3 days with a diagnosis of NAION. The patient's comorbidities, demographic information, intraocular pressure, BCVA, and RNFL measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) were recorded before and after treatment at one month.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 64.35±14.6 (22-86). Diabetes mellitus was present in 14 patients (58.3%), hypertension in 13 (54.2%), and coronary artery disease in 5 (27.8%). The pre-treatment BCVA was 0.33±0.37, and post-treatment BCVA was 0.37±0.36 (p=0.345). The pre-treatment RNFL value was 208.0±57.9, and the post-treatment RNFL value was 113.6±32.6 (p<0.000). No additional complications related to treatment were observed.
Conclusion: While there was no significant difference in BCVA values one month after steroid treatment, a significant anatomical improvement was observed in RNFL thickness.

Published: November 2024

Aims: To evaluate the vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) in patients with low vision, who underwent epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery with pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods: Twenty subjects with unilateral ERM and 20 healthy subjects as CG were included in the study. The National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25) was used. In ERM cases, the two-step 23 G vitrectomy was performed with a similar technique by the same experienced vitreoretinal surgeon. The relationship between the composite score and visual acuity was evaluated. Reliability analysis was performed. Flexible discriminant analysis was performed to group individuals according to the NEI VFQ-25 results.
Results: The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in ERM group was 1.04±0.41. Postoperative visual improvement reached statistical significance (p<0.001) and postoperative 6th month BCVA was 0.61±0.41. The composite score was significantly lower in patients with ERM than in CG (p=0.017). The subscale scores were significantly lower in the patients with ERM than in the CG in general vision, ocular pain, near activities and distance activities (p<0.001, p=0.005, p<0.001, p=0.003, respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between the composite score and visual acuity (R2=0.19, p=0.004). The scale has high reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.8743). The accuracy of the flexible discriminant function was found to be 100%.
Conclusion: The NEI VFQ-25 questionnaire may help to define the effects of ERM surgery since visual acuity does not fully reflect VR-QOL. Impaired binocular vision may be associated with the deterioration of VR-QOL in patients with ERM in the postoperative period.

Published: November 2024

Aims: This study aimed to examine the impact of earthquake-related fear on sleep quality in individuals with hypertension residing in Istanbul, following the two major earthquakes that struck Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 70 hypertensive patients who visited the hospital between March and May 2023. Patients with hypertension consulted a psychiatrist for the presence of earthquake fear. Thirty-five patients with earthquake-related fear were matched with 35 patients without fear using stratified randomization based on age and gender. The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. The total PSQI score can range from 0 to 21, where a score of 0–4 indicates good sleep quality, while a score of 5–21 signifies poor sleep quality.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.7 ± 8.0 years (range: 35–64 years), and 81% were female. The mean age and gender distribution of the patients did not differ significantly based on the presence of earthquake-related fear. The median PSQI scores of the group with a fear of earthquakes were higher compared to the group without fear (7 vs. 4, p = 0.013). The ratio of poor sleep quality was more common in the group with earthquake fear than the group without fear (71.4% vs. %42.9, p = 0.016). In the earthquake fear group, the risk of impaired sleep quality was 3.33 times higher compared to the group without earthquake fear (Odds ratio = 3.33; 95% CI = 1.2–8.99, p = 0.016).
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that hypertensive patients experiencing earthquake-related fear are at a significantly higher risk of poor sleep quality. We believe that it may be useful to review the pharmacological treatments of individuals with hypertension whose sleep quality is impaired owing to the fear of earthquakes and provide close psychological support.

Published: November 2024

Psoas abscess is a difficult disease to diagnose. MTB can cause psoas abscess. First generation anti-TB drugs are used in the treatment of TB, side effects may occur during treatment; one of these side effects is hypersensitivity reactions. In this case report, we aimed to present a patient who presented with recurrent psoas abscess occurs after pulmonary tuberculosis and developed hypersensitivity reaction to antituberculosis drugs and the treatment method we applied. A 44-year-old male patient presented with fever, cough and right flank pain. It was learned that he had hypothyroidism and received antibiotherapy and drainage treatment for recurrent psoas abscesses. His family history was unremarkable and respiratory sounds were normal. Fever was 37.8 °C. WBC: 6.640/mm³, CRP: 70mg/L, ESR: 33mm/h. Liver dynamic CT showed psoas abscess, drainage was provided.Pulmonary tuberculosis was thought to be the etiology of recurrent psoas abscess, thorax CT was ordered and culture and aside resitant staining (ARS) were sent from sputum and abscess upon observation of infiltrations.(Figure 1) No growth was observed in abscess culture and MTB was not detected. With the initiation of HRZE treatment, the patient developed sudden dyspnea, high fever, and skin rashes, and the treatment was terminated. Premedication was decided to be performed before the drug and progressive drug loading was performed to determine the responsible drug. The patient, who had no new allergic reaction during the treatment period, was discharged and methylprednisolone tablets were prescribed for 21 days, bilastine and desloratadine tablets were prescribed for 6 months together with TB drugs. Tuberculosis is among the important causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. At the beginning of treatment, patients should be told about the side effects that may occur with the drugs they use. In patients who develop hypersensitivity reactions, temporary or permanent discontinuation of drugs and often hospitalization of the patient is required. Antihistamines and steroids may need to be used for the control of severe reactions.In our case, we wanted to emphasize that patients may develop tuberculosis even if they do not present with pulmonary symptoms and that drug side effects should always be kept in mind and the necessity and importance of premedication and gradual drug loading therapy in patients with hypersensitivity reactions.
Steering angle prediction in autonomous vehicles: a deep learning approach combining Vgg16 and Lstm
Authors: Karadeniz Ahmet Mehmet , Koçak Nuri Furkan
Published: November 2024

The field of autonomous driving has seen remarkable progress in recent years, with the prediction of steering angles based on varying road conditions emerging as a critical area of focus. While previous efforts have concentrated on lane detection, road object identification, and 3-D reconstruction, our research centers on a vision-based model that leverages deep networks to translate raw camera images into steering angles without the need for predefined feature learning. In our paper, we introduce an end-to-end model that employs deep transfer learning to predict steering angles from image sequences captured by onboard cameras. This model merges two deep learning architectures: a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network. We utilize the VGG16 network, pre-trained on ImageNet and renowned for its performance, to extract spatial features from the images. Concurrently, the LSTM network processes the temporal information embedded within the image sequences. Our proposed model comprehensively processes spatial-temporal data and adeptly models the nonlinear relationship between the input images and the steering angles. We conducted an experimental study using a publicly available dataset to evaluate the model's effectiveness. The outcomes of our experimental analysis reveal that our model delivers highly efficient and accurate steering angle predictions, effectively emulating human driving patterns. Moreover, it surpasses current models in both performance and training efficiency, achieving a Mean Squared Error (MSE) score of 0.0728 as its loss function.
Determination of I-V curves for photovoltaic generator by an analytical method; Akbaba model
Authors: Gökşenli Nurettin , Bektaş Enes , Tümay Mehmet
Published: November 2024

In order to maximize the amount of electrical energy generated and ensure effective use, the conventional I-V or V-I characteristics derived from the diode model of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels are important. Unfortunately, these features cannot be extracted using linear equations. It follows that the answer requires extremely drawn-out, time-consuming procedures. Many studies focus on calculating maximum power extraction. The analytical solutions to these equations are also nonexistent. Programming on computers can assist in solving the equations. The Akbaba Model was created specifically for the PVG to address these challenges. The Akbaba Model relies heavily on coefficients A, B, and C in this equation. The diode model serves as the true model in this case, and the coefficients A, B, and C are calculated. Another advantage of this model is that, because its qualities have partially deteriorated with time, the genuine I-V characteristics of the PV Panels can be recovered by measuring again.

Authors: Bilgiç Eda , Bilgiç Hasan , Kantaroğlu Emrah
Published: November 2024

The foundations of wireless power transmission were laid down by Nikola Tesla many years ago, by transmitting energy wirelessly using a Tesla coil. Nikola Tesla's work many years ago pioneered wireless power transmission studies today. Wireless power transmission, which telephone companies have focused on in recent years, also forms the basis for charging electric vehicles. One of the main reasons why lithium ion batteries are preferred in electric vehicles is the advantages they offer regarding the charging process. These batteries provide longer range compared to other battery types, thanks to their high energy density, that is, they can store more energy compared to their size. At the same time, faster charging capabilities are a great advantage for electric vehicle owners. As a result, charging technology is very important in electric vehicles. In this study, we will present a design project that enables electric vehicles, which have become more common in daily life with the developing technology, to transfer their charge to each other contactlessly in emergency situations. In the design, the receiver coil will be placed on the front hood of the vehicle and the transmitter coil will be placed on the rear hood of the vehicle. There will be a distance sensor where the transmitter coil is located, thanks to this sensor, the distance can be adjusted. When the vehicles reach the optimum distance, the distance sensor will give a warning and be charged enough to go to the nearest charging station. In addition, thanks to the ease of sharing for emergencies, emergency vehicles (ambulances) will be able to quickly receive energy from another vehicle and continue their duties without interruption. In this way, we will reduce the towing cost of electric and hybrid vehicles and provide drivers with uninterrupted driving. In the wireless charging station; We will offer many advantages such as getting rid of cable clutter, providing ease of use, compatibility with all devices, multiple charging and durability.
Atypical Milroy's disease with predominant unilateral involvement: a case report
Authors: Keskin Kavak Songül
Published: November 2024

Milroy's disease (MD), known as hereditary lymphedema type I, is a rare autosomal dominant primary lymphedema. It accounts for about twenty percent of all primary lymphedema. MD typically presents clinically with bilateral lower extremity lymphedema. Our case report describes a rare case of MD presenting with unilateral upper and lower extremity lymphedema in a patient admitted to our clinic. A 24-year-old woman who had been followed for lymphedema since the age of 8 was diagnosed with MD at our hospital by physical examination, venous Doppler ultrasound, whole-body lymphoscintigraphy, and molecular genetic testing. Partial improvement was observed with complete decongestive therapy, considered the gold standard treatment for lymphedema. Genetic counseling may be beneficial for the patient and family. Although MD is uncommon in the literature, many more studies are needed to identify carrier variants in the community.

Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations, while rare, pose significant risks due to the joint’s proximity to critical thoracic structures. This letter discusses the treatment and management approaches for SCJ dislocations, particularly focusing on the higher risk of complications with posterior dislocations, which may lead to neurovascular or mediastinal injuries. Surgical intervention is often required, and multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial in such cases. The importance of accurate diagnosis through imaging, such as CT scans, and the benefits of graft-based reconstructions for joint stabilization are emphasized to improve patient outcomes.
The comparison of the efficacy of 3D fast spoiled gradient echo sequence and steady state free precession sequence in imaging vascular compression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia
Authors: Hızal Mustafa , Buz Yaşar Ayşenur
Published: November 2024

Aims: Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition characterized by sudden and intense pain in the face, affecting the fifth cranial nerve. While it can occur for various reasons, vascular compression is a well-known cause. Additionally, conditions such as tumors, arachnoid cysts, idiopathic inflammation, damage, or demyelination can result in trigeminal neuralgia, extending to the distal branches of the trigeminal nerve from the pons. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic efectiveness of post-contrast three-dimensional fast spoiled gradient echo images (3D-FSPGR) in addition to steady-state free precession (SSFP) images in the imaging of trigeminal neuralgia.
Methods: A total of 33 patients with a preliminary diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia between May 2022 and October 2023 were investigated and five individuals were excluded. Among the remaining 28 patients, vascular compression was observed in only 14 patients. Trigeminal nerve thickness on both side, the distance between trigeminal nerve and superior cerebellar artery on both side, presence of vascular compression, level of the compression, presence or absence of displacement and atrophy were reported for each sequences. The findings and results were compared using independent sample T-test and paired T-test.
Results: The mean age of the patient group was calculated to be 56.29 ± 4.5, while for the control group, it was 52.07 ± 3.09. Trigeminal nerve thickness wasn’t different between patient with or without vascular compression (p=0.874 for right side on SSFP, p=0.804 for left side on SSFP, p=0.667 for right side on 3D-FSPGR and 0.769 for left side on 3D-FSPGR). In 10 patients, unilateral compression of the trigeminal nerve was observed, while in 4 patients, it was bilateral. In the right trigeminal nerve, vascular compression was observed in SSFP images in 5 cases in the transitional zone, 2 cases in the nerve root entry zone, and 1 case distally. In 3D-FSPGR images, it was interpreted as being in the transitional zone in 4 cases, in the NR entry zone in 3 cases, and distally in 1 case. On the other hand, for the left trigeminal nerve, vascular compression was observed in both SSFP and 3D FSGPR images in 5 cases in the nerve root entry zone, 3 cases in the distal zone, and 2 cases in the transitional zone.
Conclusion: Both SSFP and 3D-FSPGR images can provide comparable information regarding the spatial relationship between the trigeminal nerve and vascular structures. Contrast enhanced imaging allows us diferentiate the tumoral and infammatory demyelinating processes from vascular compression, we recommended to continue with SSFP images in cases where contrast enhanced 3D FSGPR images are inconclusive.

included in the study was 64 years. Of the angiographic procedures, 46 were performed in the lower extremity, 6 in the upper extremity and 3 in the renal arteries. Endovascular treatment were performed in 26 of them. Of the endovascular treatment, 11 were balloon angioplasty and 15 were stent implantation. In 5 patients, peripheral bypass was decided.
Conclusion: Interventional treatment of peripheral arterial disease is increasingly and successfully performed in our center.
Applications of artificial intelligence in age estimation: a review
Authors: Sancı Abdulkadir , Kaya Burak
Published: November 2024

Age estimation is a legally significant issue, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries, due to factors such as inadequate civil registration systems and irregular migration. While various techniques are employed for age estimation using traditional methods, it is known that factors including age, gender, chronic illness, race, and geographical region can result in discrepancies between skeletal age and chronological age. This complicates the process of achieving accurate age estimation. This review aims to discuss recent research on artificial intelligence applications in light of current literature. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have enabled machines to acquire human-like capabilities in thinking, learning, problem solving, and decision making, leading to significant progress in achieving faster and accurate results. In the field of forensic medicine, methods such as linear discriminant analysis, K-Nearest Neighbors, support vector machines, random forests, and artificial neural networks have been employed to classify data and conduct studies on age estimation. Research has focused on five regions: the carpal bones, ossification centers, the middle phalanx of the hand, the third metacarpal, and the radius and ulna. Additionally, facial angles and width obtained through tomographic examinations, as well as measurements of the calcaneus and cuboid bones, panoramic dental radiographs, volumetric analysis of teeth and pulp using Cone Beam Computed Tomography, and analysis of bloodstains on microRNAs, have been analyzed for their distribution across different age. The results demonstrate that artificial intelligence applications can be utilized in age estimation with a high accuracy rate (85-95%). Age estimation using artificial intelligence enhances data-driven decision-making processes, improves the quality of services, and contributes to societal benefit. Therefore, we believe that incorporating artificial intelligence applications alongside traditional methods in age estimation will yield more meaningful outcomes.

The impact of economic factors on the standard of living and social protection policy in Georgia
Authors: Bidzinashvili Davit , Giguashvili Giuli
Published: November 2024

Every era has its challenges. Historically, powerful states and empires have attempted to use neighboring or subordinate countries to realize their interests. In the modern world, developing countries primarily evolve through the recommendations and financial assistance of developed countries and international organizations. The globalization process contributes to the strengthening of global economic cooperation and the growth of universal economic well-being. Georgia's economy has been growing convincingly in recent years. The statistical data look good, but it is interesting how this economic development, represented in numbers, has impacted individual households and whether the population has felt the effects of GDP growth. After the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia's economy regained stability. In many cases, economic growth is expressed by a double-digit indicator. The country concluded 2023 with positive results and managed to maintain its image as one of the leading countries in the region. According to the forecasts of various international organizations, Georgia will have the fastest progress in the area in the future as well. However, the fact that economic benefits do not reach the population equally is still a problem. The wealthy continue to benefit from economic growth, while the poor struggle to move up to the middle class. The benefits of economic growth are not tangible, and a large part of the population cannot truly benefit from them. Therefore, economic growth will never bring results if the standard of living is not improved. The primary role in redistributing national income to the socially vulnerable segments of the population belongs to the state. This paper examines and analyzes the main directions of Georgia's social protection system and presents recommendations for its improvement.

Disseminated lamellar keratitis after excimer laser correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism: 6 months of observation
Authors: Lysenko Nadiia
Published: November 2024

This study explores the incidence and characteristics of disseminated lamellar keratitis (DLK) following excimer laser correction (ELC) for myopia and myopic astigmatism over a six-month period. We monitored 180 patients (360 eyes) who underwent either LASIK or FemtoLASIK. The incidence of DLK at one week was 4.95% for LASIK and 6.74% for FemtoLASIK, decreasing to 0.55% and 0% respectively by six months. Clinical manifestations were similar across both procedures, with mild corneal syndrome and reduced visual acuity observed. Notably, 38.46% of DLK cases had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: November 2024

Today, sunflower is the main oilseed crop in Ukraine, and its cultivation area is constantly growing due to the high demand for seeds for the processing industry. However, the increase in production volumes is possible not only due to the expansion of the area, but also due to the introduction of the latest hybrids with high productivity potential and improved cultivation technology. One of the key factors affecting the yield of sunflower hybrids is the choice of the optimal sowing date. Sowing dates determine the conditions for plant growth and development, as well as affect the quality and quantity of both individual plants and all crops in general.

Published: November 2024

Стаття присвячена аналізу світових потоків прямих іноземних інвестицій у 2021-2023рр. Проаналізовано динаміку обсягів припливу прямих іноземних інвестицій у світі та по регіонах світу. Визначено фактори, які впливали на збільшення прямого іноземного інвестування у 2021р порівняно з 2020р та фактори, які призвели до зменшення іноземного інвестування у 2022р. та часткового відновлення зростання у 2023р. Глобальні потоки прямих іноземних інвестицій відновили своє зростання у 2021р на 64%, у 2022р скоротились на 12% та збільшились усього на 3% у 2023р. Досліджено країни – найбільші отримувачі прямих інвестицій у2021-2023рр. та країни - найбільші експортери прямих іноземних інвестицій у ці рокі. Визначено країни де спостерігалося найбільше зростання прямих іноземних інвестицій, наприклад у США та Китаю. Азійський регіон остається найбільшим отримувачем прямих іноземних інвестицій у 2021-2023рр, зокрема біля 80% інвестицій у цей регіон приходиться на Китай, Індію, Індонезію, Сінгапур, Гонконг та ОАЄ. Після збільшення ПІІ у країни Африки у 2021р спостерігалося їх падіння у 2022- 2023рр. Прямі іноземні інвестиції у країни Латинської Америці демонстрували динамічне зростання як у 2021р так і у 2022р. що пов’язано зі збільшенням інвестицій у фінансовий, страховий та інформаційно-комунікаційний сектора економіки та незначне падіння -1% у 2023р. Найбільший інтерес визивають інвестиційні проекти спрямовані у галузі що по’вязані з досягненням цілей сталого розвитку які зосереджені здебільшого у розвинутих країнах, причому близько 60% таких інвестицій здійснюється приватними компаніями. Найбільш у 2021-2023рр зросли інвестиції у зв'язок, інфраструктуру, відновлювану енергію та водопостачання. В країнах що розвиваються у 2021р обсяг ПІІ на досягнення цілей сталого розвитку збільшився на 70% та продовжував зростати у 2022р, але незважаючи на це спостерігається зростання дефіциту міжнародних інвестицій у проекти що спрямовані на досягнення цілей сталого розвитку який на даний час складає близько 4 трлн дол.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню антропологічної складової муніципальної свідомості (правосвідомості) в контексті розуміння та визначення ролі людини-жителя та члена територіальної громади в її виникненні, формуванні та реалізації. в основі муніципальної свідомості (правосвідомості). Доведено, що в її інституціоналізації, структуруванні лежить визначальна роль людини-члена ТГ, її груп та асоціацій. Встановлено, що правова інформованість і мотивація правомірної поведінки людини-жителя, як результативності муніципальної свідомості (правосвідомості), залежить від її соціальних комунікативних зв'язків з іншими членами ТГ, від ступеня її залучення в правову культуру локального суспільства, а також від залучення людини в соціальні групи та асоціації (зокрема в інституції громадянського суспільства), які істотно впливають на розвиток правосвідомості.
Формування національної ідентичності Української Далекосхідної Республіки як основний соціальний процес державотворення
Authors: Гуменюк Віталій
Published: November 2024

В процесі дослідження визначено, що формування національної ідентичності є однією з основних соціальних процесів державотворення Української нації, основою для легітимності держави, тобто створення історії, мови, культури, спільних цінностей, які об'єднують людей у єдину націю. Головну роль у формуванні первинних уявлень про свою належність відіграє українська школа, що належить до процесу формування національної ідентичності. Так, до існування Української Далекосхідної Республіки українська школа на території Далекого Сходу була практично відсутня, через що одним із першочергових напрямків у діяльності українських організацій, що виникли після Лютневої революції 1917 року, було створення української національної школи. Серед вимог було введення навчання українською мовою в тих школах, де більшість учнів становили українці, що за значенням було другим після створення національних військових формувань. Разом з тим українські школи, які фактично існували лише завдяки зусиллям українських організацій, припиняють свою діяльність. Цьому передувала ліквідація Української Далекосхідної Республіки та встановлення на Далекому Сході (р)адянської влади, результатом чого було повальні арешти українських діячів та ліквідація українських організацій.

Authors: Черкунов Олександр
Published: November 2024

Дослідження принципів правового регулювання публічної служби в митних органах України є актуальним у контексті сучасних викликів, що стоять перед митною системою країни. У статті розглядаються основні принципи, які визначають діяльність публічних службовців, зокрема принципи законності, прозорості, підзвітності та нейтралітету. Аналіз чинного законодавства дозволяє виявити як позитивні аспекти, так і недоліки правового регулювання, що впливають на ефективність роботи митних органів. Особлива увага приділяється проблемам корупції, недостатньої кваліфікації кадрів та імплементації європейських стандартів. Пропонуються рекомендації щодо вдосконалення системи принципів правового регулювання, які можуть стати основою для підвищення ефективності митних служб та покращення взаємодії з бізнесом і суспільством. Результати дослідження сприятимуть формуванню більш прозорої та підзвітної системи публічної служби в митних органах України.
