Authors: STADNYK Valentyna , YOKHNA Vitaliy , NASKALNYJ Serhij ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: December 2022

Based on the methodological approaches of the theory of entrepreneurial society and institutional economic theory, the author’s definition of the term “business environment” is formulated as a system of relations between economically active members of society, which is formed under the influence of formalized (legislative and legal norms) and informal (customs, traditions, mentality) regulatory institutions that determine the principles of economic interaction in the triad of stakeholders “business-state-society”, balancing public and private interests and delineating the field of economic activity in the system of coordinates “knowledge-needs-resources-security”. The problems of the functioning of small and medium-sized businesses caused by the institutional imperfection of the domestic business environment and the conditions under which it can become a driver of socio-economic progress are highlighted. Their information base is indicated, which ensures, firstly, the formation of a clear structure of the legislative and regulatory component of entrepreneurial activity, which should contain economic preferences differentiated by time and types of economic activity, corresponding to the interests of society and conceptually defined priorities of its development; secondly, free and prompt access of the economically active population to information that outlines the criterion parameters of additional institutional support for innovative business projects in the “needs-resources-security” coordinates. It is argued that the digitalization of the business environment plays an important role in creating these conditions – as a set of processes and means of information support for business functioning. The contours and directions of development of the multi-component functionality “digitalization” in the processes of forming such an entrepreneurial environment, under which small and medium-sized businesses can become the backbone of economic stability and the driving force of Ukraine in its post-war revival, are outlined.

Published: December 2022

Relevance of the study is due to the need to implement tools of strategic municipal management in local self-government authorities in order to successfully complete the reform of decentralization. Foreign experience testifies that one such tool is the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) of Kaplan and Norton, which was evolved from a performance management tool for business to a dominant system of strategic management in the public setor. This tool allows use of non-financial indicators, take into account social aspects and environment as well as manage risks under uncertainty. The article argues that the BSC implementation in local self-government authorities will ensure the solution of the following tasks: 1) aligning the strategic and tactical goals with measures for their implementation; 2) increasing the institutional capacity of authorities (through development and motivation of personnel, formation of innovative organizational culture, introduction of performance management system, improvement of internal processes, development of information systems); 3) increasing the transparency and stakeholders confidence, in particular foreign investors, to attract financing in the post-war period. It was found that the structure of the BSC model and the algorithm of its implementation depend on the field of activity, size, tasks and features of the organization. An algorithm for developing the BSC model of the city council executive committee (its structural unit for the pilot project implementation) is proposed and the main strategies for the four components of this model (stakeholders, finance, internal processes, training and development) are identified. Based on the experience of Canada, Denmark, the Czech Republic and other countries, the main advantages, conditions of success and challenges of implementing the BSC concept in local self-government authorities are identified, taking into account political, organizational, financial and other aspects. It is proposed to define the ways to solve considered challenges using the design thinking methodology.

Such a crisis phenomenon, with which Ukraine has been shaken for the rest time, has caused a lot of negative consequences. The demographic situation in Ukraine is turbulent with a lot of scientists and state leaders, by the way, is one of the most important problems of today. The rapidity of the number of people, the way of mass driving and temporary migration, the decrease in trivality and the hardness of life, the low level of nationality, all the traces of the war, the replication of such will be remembered. But we should signify that the very demographic crisis is an obstacle for the socio-economic development of all systems of the state, a threat to national security, as well as a threat to the development of international integration in the globalization of Ukraine. All the problems of the demographic crisis were foreseen by the statistical roses, as an effective tool for the identification of demographic transformation. Bringing demographic statistics up to international standards will allow us to establish economical barriers, create an international competitive market environment and protect national security. But on the face of it, the implementation of those appointed could be folded by the military camp of the state, and what is more important than the increase in mortality, migration and the loss of life. When the demographic crisis is observed in the wake of the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, the authors of the research have broken up the whiskers, which Ukraine is trying to overcome at the steepest camp. The consequences of the war on the side of demographic statistics will be irreversible, in the first place, it’s due to those who will go to war earlier, it’s a pity, less of the population will turn back from other lands, that hour will pass, people will step by step repair the regions of their lives. The onset of the last, a large-scale increase in the mortality rate among the young population, lads, as if fighting, it’s a pity that not all of them will turn back alive from the war, it’s immediately impacted by the nutrition of new generations. Based on the results of the follow-up, the authors discussed the theoretical basis for demographic statistics during the war. Current camp has become a way to analyze evidence in emigration and internal displacement. Directly further investigations would be able to show the expansion of mechanisms, as if they would help to mitigate the demographic impact on the economy of the country.

The article examines the phenomenon of digitalization as a key area of digital development. It is established that digitalization is a digital transformation of life, society and business. This is a very important process in terms of active technology development. It is noted that the essence of digitalization is the digitization of services, trade, documents and all spheres of life. Prerequisites for the formation and effective functioning of a competitive environment should be the absence of discrimination and equality of all agricultural businesses and certain segments of the agricultural market. In this way, people will be able to carry out all the necessary processes in electronic format: buy goods, take out insurance, receive documents, etc. It is emphasized that since 2014 the European Commission has been monitoring the digital progress of member states by calculating the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). DESI 2021 indicators are analyzed and it is established that the progress achieved in the EU member states in digital development in such areas as human capital, broadband, integration of digital technologies by enterprises and digital technologies, public services is monitored. All Member States have made progress in digitalization, but the overall picture for Member States is ambiguous, and despite some convergence, the gap between EU leaders and countries with the lowest DESI remains significant. The most significant progress compared to last year can be seen in Ireland and Denmark, followed by the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Finland. These countries also perform well above the EU DESI average, based on their DESI 2021 scores. In general, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands have the most developed digital economies in the EU, followed by Ireland, Malta and Estonia. Romania, Bulgaria and Greece have the lowest DESI rates. Despite these improvements, it is clear that all Member States will need to make a concerted effort to achieve the 2030 targets set by the Digital Decade for Europe. It is established that Ukraine is only taking the first steps in this new reality. The positive thing is that we are moving. On the negative side, these steps are often carried out according to standards that are incomprehensible to EU countries, and integration with which is another strategic goal of Ukraine.

In the conditions of intensification of world globalization processes the role of international tourism in the system of international economic relations grows. Such activities provide an opportunity to intensify the socio-economic processes of development of developing countries and affect the growth of their competitiveness. In an environment where the service sector is becoming dominant, tourism plays a key role in international society, as it contributes to sustainable economic development, employment and poverty reduction, resource management, exchange of mental values, and mutual understanding between peoples. Therefore, special attention is paid to socio-economic transformations in developing countries, the search for new forms of international tourism in order to form a developed market for international tourism services. The experience of different countries shows that the success of tourism development directly depends on how the industry is perceived at the state level, to what extent it is provided by state support. The potential of tourism in many countries allows to attract significant funds to the state budget, increase the income of related sectors of the economy, promote employment, improve the state of tourism infrastructure. Various organizational systems for tourism management are now in place, from independent or related ministries to national administrations directly subordinate to the government. In addition, some countries in the world regulate tourism activities only at the level of regional government, others – do not have government leverage over tourism. The tourism policy of the countries, regardless of the chosen model of state regulation, is aimed at strengthening the tourism economy and increasing the economic efficiency of this sector of the national economic complex. And the final positive result of such a policy largely depends on the effectiveness of management decisions and the interest of the authorities in their further implementation for the sustainable development of the tourism sector.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for researching the environment of social resilience of the population of the region. The study reveals the relevance of the problem of forming a methodology for analyzing socio-economic systems using the example of the environment of social resilience of the population, which is understood as the quality of the social system of the region in the sense of its ability to prevent the realization of human risks and threats that lead to a decrease in its social security. The methodology was developed to assess the social resilience of the population of the Carpathian region of Ukraine. To assess the environment of social resilience, 31 determinants were selected, grouped into four groups: (1) employment, income, living conditions, (2) social security, (3) social tension, (4) provision of social infrastructure. The author’s research methodology involves the implementation of 5 stages: the formation of homogeneous dynamic data series; determination of dynamic weighting coefficients of indicators within each group; calculation of weighted coefficients of indicators; construction of weighted coefficients of subsystems (groups); construction of the integral coefficient of the medium. It is shown that the determining determinants of the social resilience of the regions are the system of indicators of socio-economic vulnerability of the population, the strengthening of which leads to the emergence of new and strengthening of current social risks and threats in different time periods. It is proved that social resilience, as opposed to social vulnerability, characterizes the measure of the ability of the population and its individual groups to independently satisfy their needs and realize their own social rights in the conditions that have develop. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the further development of the methodology for analyzing complex socio-economic systems, in particular in the field of quality of life and strengthening the social resilience of the region’s population.

The socio-economic development of Ukraine requires increasing the level of food security of the state, providing the population with high-quality and ecologically safe food products in order to preserve their health and improve the welfare of society. The safety of food for the health of the population can be guaranteed only under the condition of organizing strict quality control of food products entering the domestic market, as well as through the implementation of a stimulating policy for the production of ecological products. In this connection, there is an objective need to develop and introduce a set of coordinated organizational and economic measures, which should be based on stricter public, state and self-government control over compliance with established norms and standards regarding production technologies and be implemented at all stages of the product life cycle. An important role in this context will be played by increasing the social responsibility of business, popularization of environmentally safe and energy-saving technologies, greening of all production and consumption processes, which requires coordinated cooperation of managers, managers and employees of agricultural, agro-industrial and processing enterprises, scientists, educators and the public. The legal regulation of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine has the greatest influence on the regulation of ecologically safe production of agricultural products. Ecological safety of agricultural products is the state of agricultural products, in which the state has established and established in current legislation mandatory safety parameters for this type of products, special sanitary and veterinary measures and requirements for both products and their producers, establishment of uniform standards safety, uniform systems of certification and marking, state control and supervision of the fulfillment of requirements and standards of environmental safety in the production and sale of agricultural products, as well as establishing norms of administrative, criminal, and civil liability for their violation. The main goals of state regulation of the agricultural sector are: guaranteeing the food security of the state; providing the population with quality food products; providing industry with raw materials; solving the problems of the economic and social nature of the development of the agricultural industry; ensuring the investment attractiveness of the agricultural sector; increasing the export potential of the agricultural sector.

The article highlights the war-induced problems of formation and realization of the market potential of subjects of the entrepreneurial sector of the national economy. Based on the analysis of scientific views on the essential content of the definition “market potential of the enterprise”, it was concluded that they are dominated by the marketing component of work with the market, which limits management decisions regarding the development of market potential to the sphere of work with consumers. The need to expand this interpretation towards the assessment of the economic feasibility of decisions is argued, which makes it possible to more effectively manage the processes of its expansion, including through the implementation of measures that make it possible to ensure its development, relying on the support of a wider range of stakeholders. The author’s position regarding the management of the processes of building up and developing the market potential of the enterprise based on the concept of “diversity management” was formed. In the light of this concept, the definition of an enterprise is presented as a socio-economic system, designed taking into account the diversity of factors of the external environment and with a rationally justified (from the point of view of the goals of effective functioning) set of structural elements and a system of connections between them, which provides the necessary for the creation of products (services ) the level of diversity, efficiency and effectiveness of technological and management processes aimed at creating consumer values, taking into account the diversity of consumer preferences in selected market segments. This made it possible to outline the spheres and directions of enrichment of diversity in the structure of resources, processes and target markets for the development of the market potential of the enterprise. It is noted that the key sign of the expediency of increasing the level of diversity in the structure of resources, processes and target markets should be the ability of the enterprise to create new consumer values. The importance of developing cooperation with all groups of stakeholders in the field of innovative design of consumer values and technological equipment of innovative business processes is emphasized.

Research question: What effect does vegetation have on sound pollution in Delhi?
Authors: Nahid Sanawer , Sarawagi Ishika
Published: December 2022

Noise pollution is a major issue, particularly in urban areas, and traffic noise is the most significant source of noise in cities. Because of the large number of cars and other road vehicles with internal combustion engines, traffic noise is a substantial source of noise pollution. When commuters honk even when the traffic light is red, the unwanted sound decibels rise in the periphery of the junction. This noise may affect a person, such as hearing impairment, high blood pressure, stress, etc. At traffic signals, people blow their horns restlessly, adding environmental noise. This paper looks at how the presence of a green belt helps prevent sound from traffic from affecting buildings near traffic signals.

application. Anticancer activity of Origanum majorana extract and silver nanoparticles was investigated by MTT assay using human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines (Capan-1), mouse normal fibroblast cell lines (L929), and human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2). AgNPs@Om exhibited the excellent cytotoxic effect on Capan-1 cell lines with the cell viability of 29.17% and 25.70%, 22.49%, 21.16% at 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 μg/mL respectively. However, the extract was determined to show moderate activity. A considerable fall in the viable cell number in Caco-2 cell lines was observed after the treatment of AgNPs@Om. The viable cells of Caco-2 cell lines were detected as 32.0% at 1.0 μg/mL with the treatment of nanoparticles. Yet, the viable Caco-2 cells were determined as 48.2% with the treatment of O. majorana extract. Both extract and nanoparticles had no impact on the viability of non-tumor cells (L929). Moreover, nanoparticles induced apoptosis. Consequently, AgNPs@Om may be a promising anticancer drug candidate.
Looting: issue of qualification and differentiation in the context of some criminal offenses against property
Authors: Lyzohub Ya. H.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the problem of incorrect understanding of such a relevant today phenomenon as looting, responsibility for which is provided for in Art. 432 of the current Criminal Code of Ukraine. An attempt has been made to show in detail the true content of the objective and subjective features of the legal composition of the considered socially dangerous phenomenon with a simultaneous comparative analysis of it with some criminal offenses against property, which, like looting, involve the taking of property, in particular in the form of theft.

The relevance of the research is noted, due to the lack of adequate coverage of the content of looting. Certain opinions of other researchers regarding some signs of such a criminal act are highlighted, and arguments of both a supporting and refuting nature are given.

Attention is drawn to the fact that looting, although it is a robbery in its content, is only a special manifestation of it, connected with a number of signs, only in the presence of which it will take on the appearance that will characterize it in essence. At the same time, the impossibility of a free, not related to the textually expressed form of looting in the norm of its criminal legal interpretation is indicated. At the same time certain comments of extended content are quite admissible, where it does not contradict the characteristics of the action under consideration (characteristics defined in Article 432 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

It has been noted that the question of the qualification of looting is a question of the need to determine the conformity of the signs of an act actually committed, potentially considered as looting, with the signs that characterize such an act normatively, taking into account the rules and approaches to understanding such a phenomenon as a war crime laid down in legislation. Moreover, cases of actions that resemble looting in appearance, but committed by civilians, as well as representatives of Russian units and persons supported by them from illegal armed formations fighting on the other side, have been differentiated.

Pendahuluan: Kesuksesan vaksinasi COVID-19 tergantung pada penggunaan yang merata di masyarakat luas. Akan tetapi, meskipun pemberian vaksin memberikan perlindungan yang baik terhadap virus corona, pada beberapa orang akan menimbulkan gejala ikutan setelah dilakukan penyuntikan vaksin. Metode: penelitian menggunakan desain observasionalÂ  dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Variabel bebas pada penelitian ini yaitu usia dan tekanan darah, sedangkan variabel terikat adalah gejala post vaksin COVID-19. Populasi terdiri dari seluruh staffÂ  yang mengikuti vaksin Astra Zeneca sebanyak 180 orang yang diambil menggunakan teknik simple random sampling sebanyak 72 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tensimeter digital untuk mengukur tekanan darah dan kuesioner untuk mengidentifikasi usia dan gejala post vaksin disusun peneliti berdasarkan tinjauan pustaka dan telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisa yang digunakan untuk mengetahui keeratan hubungan variabel bebas dan terikat menggunakan uji Chi Square. Â Hasil dan Pembahasan: Hasil penelitian didapatkan lebih dari separuh responden memiliki tekanan darah kategori pra hipertensi (88,9%), lebih dari separuh responden mengalami gejala post vaksin COVID-19(86,1%),Â  tidak ada hubungan usia dengan gejala post vaksin (p >0,05), dan tidak ada hubungan tekanan darah dengan gejala post vaksin (p >0,05). Diskusi: Gejala post vaksin Covid -19 Astra Zeneca tidak di pengaruhi oleh factor usia dan tekanan darah sehingga faktor lain perlu dipertimbangkan yang berhubungan dengan gejala post vaksin COVID-19.
