Cryptocurrency price prediction is a crucial task for financial investors as it helps determine appropriate investment strategies and mitigate risk. In recent years, deep learning methods have shown promise in predicting time-series data, making them a viable approach for cryptocurrency price prediction. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of two deep learning techniques, the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), in predicting the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Results of this research show that the LSTM method outperformed the RNN method, obtaining lower Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values for predicting both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and Ethereum. Specifically, the LSTM model had a RMSE of 0.061 and MAPE of 5.66% for predicting Bitcoin, and a RMSE of 0.036 and MAPE of 4.58% for predicting Ethereum. In this research, we found that the LSTM model is a more effective method for predicting cryptocurrency prices than the RNN model.

An indicator of the success of the introduction of a new mechanism for the formation and use of local budgets funds is the financial capacity of the territorial community, which will be achieved when the potential financial capabilities of local self-government bodies ensure the financing of the identified priorities and the achievement of the corresponding results of the socio-economic development of the territories. If the territorial community is financially insolvent, it receives a basic subsidy and subventions from the state budget. The analysis of budget revenues of the Lyubeshiv settlement territorial community shows that official transfers accounted for 72.4% of the territorial community's budget revenues, tax revenues for 26%, and non-tax revenues for 1.5%. It was found that the Lyubeshiv territorial community really does not have the opportunity to independently and in a sufficient amount form the income of its budgets. Expenditures for state-wide functions occupy a fairly large share in the structure of expenditures, on the other hand, revenues from local taxes and fees do not even cover the costs of the management apparatus. At the expense of their own incomes and funds transferred from the state budget, local self-government bodies are able to spend costs on the social and economic development of the respective territorial communities. In order to improve the process of local budget revenue formation, it is necessary to: review the composition of local budget revenue and expand the powers of local authorities regarding the formation of the revenue part of local budgets, in particular, allow the establishment of new economically justified non-tax payments; to ensure monitoring and financial control over the use of funds from local budgets. It was determined that the activities of local authorities should be aimed at: ensuring effective planning, investment attraction and better conditions for job creation; use of local resource potential to create competitive advantages; ensuring the motivation and capacity of "key participants" to take advantage of effective cooperation; creation and support of institutions for the use of intellectual potential.

The article evaluates the factors influencing the state's food security and proposes the main measures to ensure the food security of Ukraine in the period of global challenges and threats. The study substantiates the relevance of ensuring the state's food security and its importance at the current stage of the development of social relations, which are characterized by a high level of uncertainty and risk. The permanent growth of the world's population and the limitation of food resources were indicated, which determines the global threat of global food shortages in the future. The importance of solving the food problem to ensure sustainable development and ensure the safety of future generations was emphasized. The research methodology involved the implementation of two stages. Firstly, the calculation of the food security index of Ukraine was based on a methodology that involves the calculation of four components: affordability, availability, quality and safety, sustainability and adaptation. Based on the calculation of these components, the integral index of food security of the state was calculated. Appropriate conclusions were made regarding the trends of this index. Secondly, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the factors influencing the food security of the state. Influence factors are divided into groups: internal and external. The analysis of the influence of external factors on the food security index of Ukraine was carried out and relevant conclusions were drawn. The analysis of the influence of internal factors on the food security index of Ukraine was carried out and relevant conclusions were drawn. Among the external and internal factors, the main "bottlenecks" that negatively affect the state's food security have been identified. Based on the analysis of the main "bottlenecks", recommendations were proposed to eliminate them and ensure Ukraine's food security in the period of global challenges and threats.

Methodological approaches for assessing the capacity of the national and regional market for fishing and fish farming (aquaculture) products are substantiated in the work. The structure of the fish market was studied and the active factors affecting its dynamics in the sectors of sea and freshwater fishing, sea and freshwater fishing (aquaculture), the processing sector and export-import dynamics were determined. Based on the method of structural characteristics, the component capacities of the national market of fish and fish products were calculated. A methodical approach was chosen for calculation based on the real and potential capacity of regional markets using the index of their purchasing power, the functioning of which is determined by the availability of infrastructure throughout the territory of Ukraine for the cultivation of a wide range of commercial aquaculture. This allows you to adjust the volume of product sales, assess the level of consumption of fishery products, build a marketing strategy, import substitution for manufacturers and importers, adjust the assortment, choose a price policy, determine the market share of any manufacturer and its competitive position. The dynamics of the catch of aquatic bioresources in the Ukrainian Black Sea region by fishing areas and regions are shown. The supply of commercial aquaculture and import-export trends in the fishing industry were evaluated. An assessment of the level of dependence on imports was carried out using data from European, state, industry and customs statistics, which made it possible to identify certain gaps in the statistical representation of the development of the industry. The option of reducing import dependence due to the development of the country's aquaculture activities is substantiated. The characteristics of the fishing industry of Ukraine according to the most imported types of fish products are given. Measures to intensify fishing activities to meet the needs of the population with fish and fish products and the development of an import substitution program are proposed, since the quality of products entering the national market does not meet the standards of safe consumption.

Обґрунтовано, що інноваційний розвиток підприємств – це здатність визначати реальний вектор економічного розвитку, пріоритетні напрямки, оптимізацію витрат, перспективи поліпшення ринкової ситуації, поліпшення якості продукції, забезпечення конкурентоспроможності, а отже, розвиток підприємництва. Дослідженнями доведено, що кількість працівників задіяних в науково-дослідній роботі у сільському господарстві, лісовому та рибному господарстві зменшилася в три рази а питома вага працівників за напрямом сільське господарство склала в 2019 році тільки 0,13 відсотка. Аналіз показує на збільшення частки витрат на інновації в ВВП таких країн як Німеччина на 3,13 відсотка; Іспанія на 1,24 відсотка; Польща на 1,21 відсоток. В Україні ці показники найнижчі в порівнянні з країнами Європейського Союзу. Визначено, що існують негативні тенденції щодо частки витрат на виконання наукових розробок. Висунуто припущення щодо інертності підприємств, особливо малих, щодо впровадження інновацій. Доведено, що для активізації процесів всередині підприємств необхідно враховувати такі факти як послідовність та взаємозв'язок інновацій на різних стадіях виробничого циклу, інтеграцію підприємств для створення та впровадження інновацій, економічний інтерес до впровадження інновацій учасниками, екологічні та соціальні результати інновації.

Published: March 2023

The Pakatan Harapan 2018 election manifesto had established commitments to strengthen the authority of local government, and to make local councils more accountable. This suggested that the local government elections would resume, after an absence of more than 60 years. While the Pakatan Harapanâ€™s tenure as Malaysiaâ€™s ruling government was short-lived, their rise to power did put the local government back into the spotlight, as well as elevated the prospects of the resumption of local government elections in the country. There are a number of reasons that supports a more democratic and participatory approach to local government which has been highly hoped for in Malaysia. These include the view that it discourages public malfeasance and produces local officials that are more responsive to the needs of the citizens they serve. However, there are challenges that follow with the introduction of a more democratic form of local government, especially for countries that are attempting to transition from authoritarianism to a democracy at the national level, and contain a diverse multi-ethnic population of differing socio-economic backgrounds.  In order to better understand what these challenges are and how they can be overcome, this study examines two case studies, Mexico and India. These two countries have shown some similarities to Malaysia, particularly with regards to regime-type and demographics. This study considers the evolving approach taken by these two countries on their local government, in terms of their structure and practices. It is proposed that the case studies could provide potential lessons for Malaysia. This study begins with a brief historical overview of the system of local government in Malaysia to present day. This is followed by a discussion of the uneven experiences of Mexico and India on the efforts to democratize their local governments. The findings from the examination of both the case studies reveal the manner for which the countries with an authoritarian past often undergo during a transitional period, whereby although the structures of local governance have become more democratic, local officials and citizens are remain trapped in the old authoritarian modes of behavior. Unless interventionist steps are taken, democratizing local government structures alone do not necessarily lead to greater citizen empowerment, especially for those from the more marginalized sections of society.

The protracted proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) from around the globe to Africa, specifically in Northern Nigeria, had led to a plethora of social crises that have culminated to the insecurity across the region for more than a decade. Armed conflicts that resulted from the effects of the spread of SALW across the three geopolitical zones in the North had subsequently led to the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast, farmers-herders conflict in the Northcentral, armed banditry in the Northwest, and ethnoreligious conflicts and mass kidnappings in the region. The objective of this study is a critical and thorough investigation of the SALW in exacerbating armed conflicts, in general, in the Northern part of Nigeria. The main problems identified in this study are the armed conflicts that have threatened to entirely destabilize the region, and the increased distribution of SALW across the region despite the global efforts to contain their spread for security reasons. This study used a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. Both primary and secondary sources were employed in this study. The primary sources were the interviews conducted with selected informants in the relevant area of study. The secondary sources were the use of available literature on the subject matter. Discussions were carried out by using thematic analytical interpretations. The research discovered that the rampant armed conflicts in Northern Nigeria is the reminiscent of the spread of SALW in the region, which subsequently led to the present critical security situation. Furthermore, weak policies and political institutions had contributed to the spread of SALW, indicating a need for a strong policy approach. This study recommends, among other numerous suggestions, that efforts should be intensified in intelligence gathering to detect the networking of the racketeers in the armed business and contain them appropriately, as well as total blockage of the weaponsâ€™ distribution routes.

Computer-mediated communication has been an integral part of how people communicate in todayâ€™s modern society. The study of the impact of social media on intercultural competency is still in its infancy and has intrigued many scholars and researchers. An integral part of a foreign university studentâ€™s experience in a host country is to manage cultural differences. Hence, through the use of computer-mediated communication by foreign university students, a better understanding of the impacts of social media (Facebook) on intercultural learning experiences can be achieved. The aims of this study are: 1) to analyse the experience of foreign university students that uses Facebook to communicate with their local peers 2) to examine Facebook usage pattern(s) among foreign university students in Malaysia, and 3) to determine the level of intercultural competency among foreign university students in Malaysia. This study employs the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), developed by Chen and Starosta (2000), to analyse the communication patterns of foreign university students in Malaysia that uses Facebook as a platform to learn and cope with cultural differences. This study analysed data from the survey of 210 foreign university students in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The findings from this study suggest that the majority of foreign university students enjoy communicating with their local peers from different cultures by using Facebook. Moreover, the findings indicate that foreign university students are confident when communicating with their local friends, and further concludes that the foreign students are culturally competent. These findings were determined by examining online interactions between foreign students and their local peers, and through Facebook usage patterns obtained from their experience.
THE ROLE OF THE PEOPLE IN POST LEGISLATIVE SCRUTINY: PERSPECTIVES FROM MALAYSIA AND AUSTRALIA

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to critically examine the role of the people in the process of reviewing the implementation and effectiveness of existing laws, described in the emerging literature as â€˜post-legislative scrutiny or â€˜PLSâ€™. Examining the options for citizen engagement with legislative review is critical for all parliamentary democracies grappling with the challenge of rebuilding trust between citizens and institutions. This is because reviewing the content and purpose of proposed and the implementation and impact of existing laws is a way for parliamentarians to give effect to their democratic promise. The methodology employed is qualitative in nature with a tiered approached to identifying and examining the extent to which individuals and non-government actors can contribute to parliamentary review processes in two Westminster-inspired parliamentary democracies: Australia and Malaysia. Using case study examples and examining both structural and cultural features of the systems of legislative review in both systems, this article directly challenges some of the assumptions previously associated with PLS in the existing literature. Experiences of different â€˜ad hocâ€™ forms of PLS in both Australia and Malaysia suggest that there could be substantial benefits for lawmakers and citizens by moving toward a more deliberative, â€˜bottom upâ€™ approach to PLS in the future.
THE RISE OF ISLAMISM AND THE FUTURE OF INDONESIAN ISLAM

Published: March 2023

Since the downfall of Suharto dictatorial regime in 1998, Indonesia has witnessed the upsurge of various Islamist groups that have in turn potentially threatened the countryâ€™s religious tolerance, civil Islam, and civic pluralism. While some have argued that the rise of these Islamist groupings could turn Indonesia into an intolerant Islamist country, this article argues that the Islamists will likely not be able to transform Indonesia into an Islamic State or Shariaâ€“based government and society, nor receive popular support and winning the heart of Indonesian Muslim majority because of the following fundamental reasons: the groupsâ€™ internal and inherent weaknesses, unsolid alliances among the groups, lack of Islamist political parties, limited intellectual grounds of the movement, the accommodation of some influential Muslim clerics and figures into the central government body, as well as public opposition to the Islamist groups.
