Authors: SVIDRYK Sofiia , OHERCHUK Yurii
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Effective management of international projects in modern conditions of globalization and ever-increasing competition is becoming an important success factor for many enterprises, requiring, at the same time, large intellectual, resource, and financial costs. One of the key elements of successful project implementation is a properly formed budget, which determines financial resources and costs necessary to achieve the set goals. However, despite the fact that budgeting, the result of which is the formation of the budget, is not a new practice of domestic organizations, difficulties and problems still arise in its implementation.
The purpose of the paper is to identify the problems of the budget development of international projects by domestic enterprises in the context of increasing the efficiency of foreign economic activity and to develop recommendations for their solution.
Results. The budget is the result of budgeting, which is an integrated management technology that is directly implemented at the first stage of the management process and forms the basis for its implementation. In the process of developing the budgets of international projects, a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of the use of financial resources, formed sources after the completion of the project and the ineffective use of information in the field of risks is often not carried out, which often leads to an increase in the expenditure part over the revenues in the budgets of international projects. In order to ensure optimal use of resources, improve the budgeting process and make better management decisions, the management staff of domestic enterprises is recommended to implement post-project analysis as the last stage of developing international project budgets. It is a post-completion evaluation of the project, analyzing actual and projected budgets for time, cost, and quality. And also to include the stage of risk management in the process of developing the budgets of international projects. This phase will involve justifying resource allocation decisions and carrying out an assessment of the cost of the measures to be taken to minimize, accept, eliminate or transfer risks.
Conclusion. In conditions of uncertainty, recommendations for domestic enterprises to carry out post-project analysis to obtain information about existing advantages and disadvantages in the formed preliminary budgets and the introduction of a risk management stage in the development of the budget at all stages of the implementation of an international project will allow domestic companies to be more efficient in the implementation of foreign economic activities and to use your finances rationally.

Published: December 2023

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the financing of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, the identification of problems and prospects of this process. During the research, methods of a scientific and empirical nature were used the collection and comparison of information, as well as complex analytical methods, which include synthesis and generalization. The informative basis of the paper is the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists who consider the issue of financing the agro-industrial complex and the problems associated with its development. The paper noted that Ukraine with its fertile land has great potential for the growth of this sector of the economy. However, the unconscious and inefficient use of natural resources, as well as internal and external economic challenges put it at risk. Factors that hold back the development of this industry include insufficient financing, lack of available credit, low level of investment, bureaucratic obstacles, corruption and instability, infrastructure problems. The experience of foreign countries can be useful for Ukraine in the field of state support of the agro-industrial complex. The conclusion emphasizes that financing the development of the domestic agricultural sector is an urgent problem that requires a comprehensive approach. To ensure the sustainable development of the industry, it is necessary to increase state support, expand lending programs on favorable terms, support scientific research and development of agricultural technologies. Tax incentives for agricultural producers and the development of processing of agricultural products can contribute to an increase in added value and the number of jobs. Strengthening the financial stability of the sector and increasing the export potential of products with high added value can have a positive effect on the country's economy and ensure the sustainable growth of agriculture. A close relationship between state institutions, enterprises and scientific institutions is necessary for the successful implementation of these measures.
International experience of public administration and control in the public procurement
Authors: TARAWAT Abdul Salam
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The regulation of public procurement has always attracted legislators around the world, because the global economy with its economic, legal and political relationships is closely intertwined with the micro-economies of each state. The paper summarizes the international experience of public administration and control in the public procurement and its adaptation in Ukraine in the context of globalization processes.
The purpose of the paper is the generalization of modern concepts of state regulation and control of public procurement; adaptation of foreign experience in the efficiency of public procurement in Ukraine.
Results. The experience of foreign countries shows the presence of two powerful groups of system control in different countries: two-channel and single-channel system control with courts of ordinary and specialized jurisdictions. Among the key factors inherent in the foreign control system are such as multi-channel, variability, regulation and preventive. Taking into account the EU Directives on system control and legal protection in terms of effective procurement allows maneuvering between public law and civil law, which disciplines actors of public procurement. The domestic system control in the field of public procurement lacks effective regulatory and methodological documents capable of preventing at a high level any manifestations of abuse of government power (the experience of Singapore and the UK). In particular, in terms of regulating the effectiveness of planning, conducting and monitoring the work of state control bodies over public procurement. The Ukrainian system of public procurement lacks such features as impartiality in tenders, high examination of procurement performance, and civil control by society. Along with financial, quantitative, and qualitative losses, political losses are also characteristic of Ukraine in terms of the deterioration of the investment climate in the country, the weakening of the country’s economic and financial system, violation of the principles of free competition, etc.
Conclusion. It seems advisable to develop preventive scenarios for «tracking» the procurement system with calculation of the probability of abuse of power, that is, the «chance» on each channel: from the announcement of the tender to its completion. All this together will work like the British or Singaporean model of strengthening the political image of the country, preventing any manifestations of corruption in this area of activity. A necessary innovation seems to be a preventive-oriented and risk-oriented approach to government regulation and control in the public procurements.

Authors: Souza Milena Matos de , Silva Mariana Batista Maia da , Barros Rodrigo José Fernandes de , Barreto Laura Amélia Fernandes , Gomes Antonio Bruno Marques
Published: December 2023

Fibromyalgia is defined as a rheumatological disease of unknown cause and not associated with inflammatory processes, which mainly affects women. Studies show that the treatment of fibromyalgia is focused on kinesiotherapy, which consists of physical exercise programs that provide benefits for fibromyalgia patients. The objective of this research is to identify how the physical therapy practice of kinesiotherapy is used in patients with fibromyalgia to control their symptoms. This is an integrative review based on articles selected from the LILACS, SciELO and PEDro databases. The descriptors applied were: “fibromyalgia”, “physiotherapy”, “physical exercise” and “kinesiotherapy”. The descriptor “fibromyalgia” was used as the main one to obtain more thematic proximity, making pairwise combinations with the others using the Boolean connector ‘AND’. Four articles were selected that meet the study variables. It was noticed that stretching, walking and low-impact exercises have been relevant in the treatment of fibromyalgia, as these factors contribute to improving quality of life. Furthermore, it is possible to observe that the application of supervised physical exercises has better adherence when compared to unsupervised ones, especially for those who are in unstable psychosocial situations, as a large part of this public chooses to practice regular physical exercises and carried out in a group. Therefore, kinesiotherapy is essential in controlling the symptoms of fibromyalgia, as the practice of physical exercises improves muscle strength, flexibility and resistance, in addition to working on cognitive and functional capacity

Authors: Korost Ya. V.
Published: December 2023

Innovative technologies in medicine allow the medical community to boldly respond to challenges, such was the development of the drug Cifran OD, which contains a modern topical fluoroquinolone with a special slow release in the human body. Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of most organs and systems of the human body, the long-acting formula provides a quick and long-lasting therapeutic effect. At the same time, the concentration in body tissues does not reach dangerous levels, which ensures a high safety profile. Due to the convenient dosage (once a day), patients have a high commitment to treatment, which ensures compliance with the required duration of therapy, according to the protocols in each specific case. In comparative studies of regular ciprofloxacin and ciprofloxacin with a delayed release of the active substance, the effectiveness was equally high, but the frequency of side effects was lower in the treatment with ciprofloxacin of prolonged action. The choice in favor of the drug Cifran OD is a guarantee of success and safety in the treatment of infectious diseases caused by pathogens sensitive to the active substance.
oscuro objeto del deseo o el estudio comunicativo del dinero. Una hipótesis de lectura
Authors: Karam Tanius
Published: December 2023

Los objetivos de este texto son explorar la idea del dinero como un concepto que puede estudiarse desde los objetos que preocupan a la comunicación;precisar lo que la investigación académica de dicha disciplina ha manifestado acerca del mismo y definir los significados que las tradiciones en comunicación pueden tener del dinero. Nuestra pregunta general es qué tipo de servicio puede dar la comunicación académica a la educación financiera y sus educadores, así como a la investigación de este campo, sus agentes, interacciones, flujos y contextos.
Para ello realizamos tres ejercicios: definimos la importancia y los referentes básicos del campo semántico; se hizo un sondeo de la presencia de algunos de estos elementos en la base de datos CCDOC de Fuentes Navarro, y se identificaron las principales tradiciones fundacionales de la comunicación que aparecen, para luego ser definidas a la luz del metamodelo constitutivo de Robert Craig (2016), con la idea de sistematizar algunas definiciones de elementos del campo en la reflexión académica de la comunicación.

Puentes virtuales y formas expresivas mediatizadas
Authors: Montejano Hernández Yolanda
Published: December 2023

La conciencia del cuerpo como elemento creativo cobra un nuevo sentido con las formas de expresión mediatizadas que surgen en las últimas dos décadas, la incorporación de la realidad aumentada, los efectos a partir del 3D y 4D y la inclusión de tecnologías como complemento, que permiten al artista extender la experiencia, haciendo realidad el planteamiento de Marshal McLuhan (1996) sobre los medios como extensiones del hombre, lo que además involucra de manera distinta al público. Puentes virtuales que cruzan desde los creadores, los soportes y los públicos, donde se genera una dinámica distinta a partir de la convergencia tecnológica.
Se recuperan elementos históricos sobre los procesos, a partir de las teorías de la danza, del cuerpo como elemento en el proceso creativo y la nueva ecología de los medios de comunicación; propuestas teóricas que surgen de los postulados del determinismo tecnológico que planteó McLuhan la última mitad del siglo pasado, retomados por la escuela de Toronto y necesarios para dimensionar el arte actual.
A partir de conceptos que surgen en la esfera de la comunicación se explican formas de aproximación a la cultura, lo que permite acercar a los estudiantes de distintas disciplinas sociales a un área de especialidad poco socorrida, la comunicación del arte, con una conciencia de la evolución que existe en los procesos creativos y los montajes actuales, generando puentes entre disciplinas.

Operación Militar Especial (SMO) en Ucrania desde un enfoque de Diplomacia Pública
Authors: Pompa Dávalos María Elena
Published: December 2023

A principios de 2023, Rusia inició una operación militar especial bajo los argumentos de desmilitarización y desnazificación de Ucrania, al ser elementos que impiden el proceso de rusificación del espacio postsoviético. En el aspecto de derecho internacional, Rusia unilateralmente contravino el Memorándum de Budapest de 1994 sobre la desnuclearización de Ucrania a cambio de la inviolabilidad de sus fronteras. El objetivo del ensayo es vincular el concepto de Diplomacia Pública con la narrativa de interpretación del entorno de los dos Estados en conflicto y el posicionamiento internacional de los principales actores involucrados en el primer aniversario del inicio del mismo. La intervención ha transitado de una situación local a un desafío global cuya relevancia radica en que la riqueza agrícola y mineral del área con repercusiones en las cadenas de suministro, desplazamiento de civiles y en lo que se perfila como los cimientos de una nueva estructura de poder mundial en la era de la información.

De luide roep van Black Lives Matter: contestatie en politisering van het Belgisch koloniaal taboe
Authors: Verleye Zeger , Azabar Samira , Brouwers Rowan , Verheyen Pieter
Published: December 2023

The Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 placed issues of the colonial past and structural racism more prominently on the political agenda in Belgium. The politicized debates around coping with this past and historical accountability stand in stark contrast to what was previously described as a historical taboo around Belgium’s colonial past. Whereas any public debate on this past was previously systematically avoided, contemporary politicisation seems to question whether we can still speak of a colonial taboo in Belgium. This article studies the impact of the politicisation of the Belgian colonial taboo on different levels using text analysis of news reports, discourse analysis of parliamentary questions and survey analyses of Belgian public opinion. Despite increased media coverage of Belgium’s colonial past, we conclude from the survey analyses that colonial amnesia – ignorance about the colonial past – persists in Belgian public opinion. In contrast, parliamentarians take an unequivocal condemnatory position towards the colonial past but do so with a discursive distinction between this past and the contemporary after-effects of Belgian colonialism. Thus, despite the partial recognition of the problematic colonial past, the historical taboo is not fundamentally questioned.
The folklore of the European Roma and mythologies of the Indian tribal world
Authors: VASSILKOV YAROSLAV
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to define the nature of puzzling texts published at the end of the nineteenth century by H. von Wlislocki. Are they fruits of his creative fantasy, a mystification, or some non-Gypsy texts disguised as Gypsy tales? Can it be that they represent authentic Romani folklore and have links with Indian culture, as Wlislocki suggested? In the paper, two myths and a folktale from Wlislocki’s collection are analyzed against the wide background of world folklore. Parallels to these texts have been found in India, though not in the Sanskrit literature where Wlislocki looked for them, but in the mythologies of Indian tribes.

The origin of the self-appellation Sinti: A historical and linguistic examination
Authors: REITINGER DAPHNE
Published: December 2023

The origin of the self-appellation Sinti has been the subject of investigation for well over 200 years. In the wake of the discovery of the Indo-Aryan affiliation of Romani, one of the earliest sources (Biester 1793b) mentioning the term “Sinte” interprets it asder wahre Name(the true name) of all Gypsies and allocates its origin to the province Sindh of the Indian sub-continent (Biester 1793b: 365–6). More recently, Matras (1999; 2019) argued for the termSintito be a European borrowing in Romani due to its employment of inflectional patterns characteristic of European loanwords. In this paper, early attestations of this self-appellation with regard to their dialectological inferences are examined and an underlying rootsintis ascertained. Via the Middle High German (MHG) etymonsint, in the meaning of “way, road, journey,” and the German collective and appellative suffix-e, the meaning ofSintiis interpreted as “wayfarers” or “those who journey.”

Repressions of the OGPU-NKVD-NKGB against Gypsies 1932–1941: On newly discovered materials from Ukrainian archives
Authors: ZHYVYUK ANDRII
Published: December 2023

This article deals with a little-explored part of the history of the Gypsies: the repressions against them by the Soviet state security organs in the 1930s and 1940s. The persecution and arrest of Gypsies, led by “King” Yegor Mihai and members of the Kwiek royal house, took place both during the terror period of the 1930s and in the early stages of the Second World War. The article is based on previously unknown documents of the Soviet special organs, which are kept in the Ukrainian archives. The analysis of these sources led to the conclusion that the OGPU-NKVD-NKGB repressions against the so-called foreign Roma were aimed at the complete “cleansing” of the cities in the USSR of the presence of this ethnic group.

Southern Online Journal of Nursing Research: Electronic Publication of Research
Authors: Holtzclaw Barbara
Published: December 2023

The newly launched Southern Online Journal of Nursing Research (SOJNR) is the official peer-reviewed research journal of the Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS). Despite its regional ties, the journal has always sought well-crafted manuscripts from the international nursing research community. In addition, the journal has a national Editorial Board of Directors. The inability of the Society to mount the financial burden of a print-version research journal a decade ago is contrasted with the more feasible use of electronic publication for today's journal. The journal depends on member contributions of talent and time and Editorial support is modest due to prudent use of Society funds. Challenges and difficulties in starting and maintaining a quality online journal are discussed from perspectives of economic and technologic support. Strategies for nurturing new authors while maintaining high editorial standards are addressed.

Intimate partner violence is responsible for 30% of female homicides in the U. S. and has multiple negative health consequences. It is identified as one of the objectives in Healthy People 2010. Women are more likely to be assaulted by a current or former intimate partner than an acquaintance, family member, friend, or stranger. Universal screening is advocated as an effective approach in identifying affected women. There exists a few states mandating report of women with injuries resulting from IPV but it is only clearly mandated in California. Interventions to address the problem include those focused on increasing identification and screening, and treatment of intimate partner violence. This paper reviews the epidemiology, identification and screening, and interventions for IPV. The role for nursing is discussed concluding with directions for further investigation.
September 11, 2001: Then and Now
Authors: Jameson John
Published: December 2023

This article, written by a historian, uses the sequential questioning technique to present a selected historical and statistical overview of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, including: the hijackings; the suicide attacks in New York, Washington, D C, and Pennsylvania; background on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda; rescue and recovery efforts; and a brief discussion of how the horrors of the day continue to affect the American people a year later. Especially sobering are the dollar costs of the attacks and the projected expenses of U.S. efforts to control the spread of international terrorism (estimated at $640 billion, just through fiscal year 2003). Throughout, the article draws on the experiences of the victims, the rescuers, and the survivors.

In this paper, we study the existence and stability of solutions in connection to a non-local multiterm boundary value problem (BVP) with differential equations equipped with the Riemann-Liouville (RL) fractional derivative in the sense of Atangana-Baleanu of variable-order. The results about the existence property are investigated and proved via Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. Note that all theorems in the present research are studied based on piece-wise constant functions defined on generalized intervals. We shall convert our main BVP with the RL-fractional derivative of the Atangana-Baleanu type of variable-order to an equivalent BVP of constant order of the RL-Atangana-Baleanu derivative. In the next step, we examine the Ulam-Hyers stability for the supposed variable-order RL-Atangana-Baleanu BVP. Finally, we provide some examples to validate that our results are applicable.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by a lesion that triggers pain chronification and central sensitization and it can develop in a different manner, dependent of age. Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for treating NP. Then, we aimed to investigate the effects of tDCS and BDNF levels in neuropathic pain rats in development, with 30 days old in the beginning of experiments. Eight-five male Wistar rats were subjected to chronic constriction injury. After establishment of NP, bimodal tDCS was applied to the rats for eight consecutive days, for 20 minutes each session. Subsequently, nociceptive behavior was assessed at baseline, 14 days after surgery, 1 day and 7 days after the end of tDCS. The rats were sacrificed 8 days after the last session of tDCS. An increase in the nociceptive threshold was observed in rats in development 1 day after the end of tDCS (short-term effect), but this effect was not maintained 7 days after the end of tDCS (long-term effect). Furthermore, brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels were analyzed in the frontal cortex, spinal cord and serum using ELISA assays. The neuropathic pain model showed an effect of BDNF in the spinal cord of rats in development. There were no effects of BNDF levels of pain or tDCS in the frontal cortex or serum. In conclusion, tDCS is an effective technique to relieve nociceptive behavior at a short-term effect in neuropathic pain rats in development, and BDNF levels were not altered at long-term effect.

In modern times, it has become common practice for major corporations to utilize computers for storing data. Unfortunately, the frequency of malware attacks has increased, which facilitates unauthorized individuals' access to private information. Analyzing malware has become a critical task in safeguarding information systems against malicious attacks. Therefore, machine learning techniques have become an effective tool for automating investigations using static and dynamic analysis, combining malware with similar behavior into separate families based on proximity. Deep learning techniques improve the accuracy of malware variant detection and classification by building neural networks with more potentially different layers. This research aims to address this issue by training machine learning models using various algorithms on a dataset obtained by performing static and dynamic analysis on both malicious and benign samples. The resulting models were then combined to produce superior results compared to those obtained from a single model, which can be seen in the results.

Although the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is exceedingly complex and poorly understood, the illness is nonetheless of great interest to the scientific community. Recent advances in AD research have allowed for the possibility that further treatment advantages might be found, which would assist patients all around the world. However, recent studies suggest that glial cells, such as microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (NG2 glia), are linked to the pathogenesis of AD and may offer several potential therapeutic targets against AD. Previous research on AD has focused primarily on neurons. Glial cells are essential to the structural integrity of neurons and are necessary for regulating homeostasis (concentration of ions, neurotransmitters) within the central nervous system. This chapter investigates the following topics: (i) the function of glial cells in the pathogenesis of AD; (ii) the intricate functions of the constituent parts; and (iii) prospective therapeutic targets that may one day improve the quality of life for AD patients.
