American Religion in the Era of Increasing Polarization
Authors: Perry Samuel
Published: September 2021

Americans are increasingly polarized by a variety of metrics. The dimensions, extent, causes, and consequences of that polarization have been the subject of much debate. Yet despite the centrality of religion to early discussions, the analytical focus on America’s divides has largely shifted toward partisan identity, political ideology, race, and class interests. I show that religion remains powerfully implicated in all dimensions of American polarization, and sociologists must once again make religion more central to their analyses. After outlining research on American polarization, focusing on the role of religion, I survey findings within the burgeoning literatures on cultural transformation processes, (white) Christian nationalism, complex religion, and Americans’ attitudes toward science in order to underscore the centrality of ethno-religious identities, religious demography, and religious institutions for both shaping and exacerbating various forms of polarization. Lastly, I propose an agenda for elucidating religion’s ongoing role in understanding polarization beyond public opinion research at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels. Though polarization research has been dominated by political scientists, leveraging religion in our analyses—not merely as a sui generis “variable,” but as a “site” of complex social behavior—facilitates novel sociological contributions to these literatures via our relative attention to multiple levels of analysis, theoretical eclecticism, and methodological fluidity.

Authors: Monnat Shannon M
Published: September 2021

This study investigates rural-urban continuum differences in COVID-19 experiences and impacts to physical and mental health, social relationships, employment, and financial hardship among U.S. working-age adults (18-64) from the National Wellbeing Survey collected in February and March 2021 (N=3,933). Most respondents (58%) reported that COVID-19 has had a negative impact on their lives. Residents of rural counties adjacent to metro areas reported the worst outcomes. They were more likely than residents of large urban counties to report testing positive for coronavirus, living with someone who tested positive, having a close friend or family member outside of the household test positive, having a close friend or family member hospitalized, seeking treatment for anxiety or depression, being late paying rent, mortgage, and other bills, not being able to afford groceries or other necessities, and getting a loan from family or friends. Recovery policies must consider geographic variation in COVID-19 vulnerability and impacts.

The research objective was to analyze the environmental sanitation and behavior of food handlers with the vector density of cockroaches in the Dumai Port canteen. It is an observational research with cross sectional method and quantitative data type. The research location was at the Port of Dumai canteen with the first population, namely 24 canteens, total sampling technique, the second 48 food handlers and the third population of 78 buyers with purposive sampling. Relationship analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. With the results of environmental sanitation that meet the health requirements of 20.83% and do not meet the health requirements of 79.17% and the behavior of food handlers as many as 8 (16.67%) have bad behavior, 17 (35.42%) have good enough behavior and 23 (47.91%) good behavior, 6 canteens in medium category and 18 high category canteens. The results of the analysis showed a strong (r = 0.799) and significant (p value = 0.000) relationship between environmental sanitation and cockroach density and a very weak correlation (r = 0.015) between food handler behavior and cockroach density in the Dumai Port canteen (pvalue = 0.946) greater than 0.05 means that there is no relationship between food handler behavior and cockroach density. The economic factor of the price and location purchasing decisions becomes the consumer decision-making process in buying at the Dumai Port Canteen. The suggestion in this research is the need to improve environmental sanitation and increase the supervision of port health workers to reduce the cockroach population in the Dumai Port Canteen.

CLIPPING TECHNIQUES FOR PAPR REDUCTION IN FBMC/OQAM SYSTEM OVER DOUBLY-SELECTIVE CHANNELS
Authors: Q. Lateef Noor , S. Hasan Fadhil
Published: September 2021

One of the major disadvantages of Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) is high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signal. As a result, nonlinear power amplifier (PA) properties, considerable out-of-band and the in-band distortion types take place in the case where the signals of high peak exceed the PA saturation level. In the present study, a new method of the PAPR reduction is presented and applied to reduce PAPR in FBMC/OQAM system. Different clipping methods have been proposed and studied that are Amplitude Clipping (AC), Palm Clipping (PC), Deep Clipping (DC), and smooth Clipping (SC) for the reduction of PAPR. To evaluate and analyze the performance of PAPR reduction methods, PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER) measures are used and programmed using MATLAB program. The simulation results show that the clipping methods are strong substitute methods which may be assumed as a method of PAPR reduction for the FBMC-based communication systems and AC appears to be the best method.
The relationship between consumption of pornography and consensual sexual practice: Results of a mixed method systematic review
Authors: McKee Alan , Litsou Katerina , Byron Paul , Ingham Roger
Published: September 2021

This article reports on the findings of a systematic review of literature on pornography use and sexual consent published between January 2000 and December 2017. The review found that there exists little research explicitly addressing consent. There exists an extensive literature on the relationship between the consumption of pornography and sexual aggression/violence; however, this work fails to distinguish between consensual (kink, spanking, BDSM) and nonconsensual acts (sexual harassment and rape). Our thematic analysis found that there is no agreement in the literature reviewed as to whether consumption of pornography is correlated with better or worse understandings or practices of sexual consent. The majority of articles that identified correlations between aspects of sexual health and pornography consumption incorrectly assigned causality to pornography consumption.

One of the most common viruses in the world that causes disease in cattle is the bovine coronavirus (BCoV). This virus is the causative agent of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in newborn calves, resulting in significant economic losses in both dairy and meat farming. Considering the complex epizootic situation with the coronaviruses in the world and partial antigenic affinity of BCoV with coronaviruses of other species of animals and humans, the isolation of new strains of coronaviruses, their identification and optimization of cultivation conditions becomes extremely important and relevant. The aim of our research was to determine the features of methods of isolation of bovine coronavirus and to select methods for its cultivation in cell culture in order to obtain the virus with the highest titers of infectious activity. Isolation of BCoV was performed in monolayers of MDBK and the primary-trypsinized calf kidney culture cells, using 20 samples collected from calves with clinical signs of respiratory or/and gastrointestinal disease. 16 samples were positive for BCoV by means of Real-Time PCR test. Up to fifth serial passage, only 4 of these isolates presented typical syncytial cytopathic effect. It has been experimentally established that the continious calf kidney cell culture line (MDBK) and the primary-trypsinized calf kidney culture (CK) are suitable for BCoV isolation and accumulation. The infectious titer of bovine coronavirus at the level of the fifth passage in the cultures of MDBK and CK cells reached 5.54 ± 0.16 lg TCD50/ml and 5.59 ± 0.14 lg TCD50/ml, respectively. However, due to the high cost of obtaining primary-trypsinized cell cultures, this isolation method may be unacceptable to most pharmaceutical companies and laboratories. Also after 5 serial passages, the viral material was again examined in Real-Time PCR to confirm the isolation of BCoV - the study of 4 samples with a characteristic syncytial CPE had a positive result in Real-Time PCR. However, of the Real-Time PCR-positive 12 samples, the virus could not be isolated in continuous cell cultures of MDBK and Vero, as well as in primary-trypsinized cattle lung and kidney cell cultures. This fact may indicate the presence of different strains of BCoV circulation in farms in our country. Further research is planned to be focused on optimizing the methods and modes of BCoV strains isolation, as well as to identify and study the cultural properties of new strains of BCoV circulating in Ukraine. We will also continue the study of the obtained viral isolate for the subsequent development of tools for the diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of coronavirus infection in veterinary medicine.

The most important factor in improving the energy efficiency of enterprises and organizations of the State Reserve is the rational use of fuel and energy resources. Oil depots are not the most energy-intensive in the State Reserve system, but reducing electricity consumption is an important factor in reducing the cost of their products. During the past 10-15 years, the world has seen the widespread and successful introduction of frequency-controlled electric drive to solve various technological problems in many sectors of the economy. Installation of frequency converters on the pumping equipment of oil depots gives the chance of smooth regulation of modes of their work. At the same time loading of electric motors of pumps will be optimum, and losses of the electric power are minimum. At oil depots, the main consumer of electricity is pumping equipment. The technological process of operation of these enterprises involves reverse pumping of fuels and lubricants between tanks and rail and tank trucks. The peculiarity of oil depots is the uneven loading of equipment due to different needs in the number of pumped oil products over time, so the loading of the pumping station will also be uneven due to different pressure and supply in the pipelines. To maintain the set mode of operation of the pumping station when changing external factors affecting its operation, it is necessary to monitor and regulate the modes of operation of pumping units. This function can be divided into two areas: regulation of hydraulic modes of operation of pumps, which is used at oil depots, and regulation of energy efficiency of pumping station equipment. The calculation of technical and economic indicators of the introduction of frequency-controlled electric drive is performed on the example of state enterprise "Aystra" Chernihiv. The main purpose of the plant is the reception, storage and shipment of petroleum products of the state material reserve. Production capacity for heavy-duty rail tanks and vehicles allows for freight operations with a capacity of 350 tons per hour.

Published: September 2021

Introduction : La justification des demandes de tomodensitométrie (TDM) faites aux urgences est mal connue. Notre objectif était d’évaluer la justification des demandes de TDM dans un service d’urgences adultes.

Méthodes : La justification des demandes de scanner a été mesurée prospectivement de deux façons complémentaires. L’adéquation aux recommandations a été évaluée pour l’ensemble des demandes de TDM par confrontation à une liste préétablie de syndromes et d’hypothèses diagnostiques. La pertinence des demandes a été évaluée par un comité d’experts sur la base du dossier médical des urgences pour 100 de ces dossiers.

Résultats : Les 273 TDM incluses concernaient le crâne (52%), l’abdomen (17%), le thorax (11%) ou une autre localisation (20%). Elles étaient en adéquation avec les recommandations dans 215 cas (79%). Pour 100 dossiers analysés par le comité d’experts, la pertinence a été adjugée à l’unanimité pour 95 cas ; 67 TDM (71%) ont été jugées pertinentes. La concordance entre l’adéquation aux recommandations et la pertinence évaluée par le comité d’expert était faible (kappa, 0,27, intervalle de confiance à 95%, de 0,06 à 0,47). Le seul facteur associé significativement à la pertinence était l’opinion du clinicien en charge du patient que la TDM ne pouvait pas être reportée (OR=6,7 avec IC95% [1,6-28,1], p=0,01).

Conclusion : La proportion des demandes de TDM qui ne sont pas en adéquation avec les recommandations et la proportion de demandes non pertinentes sont élevées. Elles suggèrent que le nombre de TDM demandées par les services d’urgences pourrait être diminué.

The article analyzes the development of the investment process in human capital in Ukraine. The approaches to the statistical analysis of investment in human capital in the country are considered in the article. Ukraine has low indicators of human capital development, including demographic characteristics and living standards indicators. The development of human capital is an actual task of economic development policy of the state. Therefore, the issue of statistical analysis and determination of prospects for the development of investment in human capital in Ukraine requires additional research. During the last years the position of Ukraine according to the international human development index is improving constantly. Despite the fact that the country has satisfied levels of education and life expectancy components of the index, but low values of gross national product per capita negatively influence on the growth of economic development of the country. Besides, the country’s population is steadily declining and is accompanied by rising mortality rates and declining in birth rates as well as the migration of working-age population. The approaches to determining the amount of investment in human capital, in particular in health care, education, physical development, social protection and social security have been also analyzed. It is established that investing in human capital development is not reflected in the growth of living standards and increase in demographic indicators in the country. The tendencies and prospects of human capital development in Ukraine are studied. The results of the study allow not only to assess the values and dynamics of investment in human capital, but also to identify conditions that constrain their growth, and to suggest directions for further ways to expand them.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the implementation of international business activities in the context of European integration. The main ways to improve and simplify the conditions for enterprises to enter the foreign market are identified. Opportunity to learn from EU countries and set new standards, as the international market requires a high level of enterprise development and high quality services and goods. The issues concerning the formation of strategies for the development of enterprises and the urgent solution of current problems that may hinder the implementation of successful international business activities are considered. European integration is an opportunity to realize the entrepreneurial potential of the country and ensure its economic development. Therefore, the main task for modern entrepreneurs is to enter the international market, because it ensures the dynamic development of their business in the context of the spread of integration processes. Intensification of European integration processes allows to find effective ways of stimulation on the basis of studying the experience of European countries. The purpose of these processes is to establish close cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the economic sphere. This cooperation does not provide any guarantees for the economic development of the country, but opens up opportunities for this to be realized. EU integration tools can increase the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises, and the existing structural funds support these processes. European integration is only a complement to the implementation of international business, it can not replace domestic efforts and entrepreneurial activity in the country. Currently, the main task for Ukraine is to formalize agreements with the EU on the implementation of the principles set out in the AMB. European integration is the main goal of Ukraine – it can be an opportunity to build an economically developed state, strengthen and find new ties in the world system of international relations. European integration is a profitable way for those companies that want to realize themselves in the international market and is one of the main ways to develop and improve business.

Published: September 2021

In modern conditions, the brand of the employer becomes a tool for differentiation of the company in the labour market, which allows achieving the competitive advantages in the rivalry for skilled workers. The need to develop the employer value proposition focused on the requirements and preferences of different target groups in order to strengthen the brand and increase the attractiveness of the company in the labour market is argued in the article. The priority of the components of the employer brand regarding gender differences is determined due to the survey conducted by the authors. It is proved that the expectations of representatives of different target groups regarding the HR brand may differ due to difference in age, gender, education, culture, employment status. Therefore, forming an HR-brand it is important to understand that it is impossible to attract any employee with one value proposition, i.e. EVP must be special in accordance with the expectations of each target segment. Particularly, the results of our study showed gender differences in perception of the importance of the criteria for selecting a potential job. For example, women prioritize career opportunities and a secure work environment, while men prioritize a company’s reputation in the labour market and personal development opportunities. Employer value proposition must be a real embodiment of the benefits offered by the company to the employee; otherwise, it will be impossible to retain the employees involved and maintain their loyalty to the company. It is proved that the relevant value proposition is one of the strategic directions of the company’s activity on attracting new and retaining existing employees. Prospects for further research in this area are to improve the mechanism of formation and development of HR-brand, taking into account the value propositions of the employer for different (internal and external) target groups in crisis situations.

Authors:   І. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, GONTAREVA IRYNA
Published: September 2021

The economic development of any country is closely linked with the development of small business. Entrepreneurship is especially important for countries whose economies are in the process of structural change. The essence of small business development reflects the constant search for new opportunities, independence in making innovative decisions, perseverance and determination in their promotion in foreign and domestic markets. Given the scale of activities and narrow specialization, technology transfer is the basis of innovative activities of small businesses and a means of their sustainable development, a guarantee of profit and social impact. The purpose of the article is to identify information and communication tools for technology transfer for the development of innovative activities of small businesses. Accelerating the development of information and communication technologies, their penetration into all spheres of society, has made significant changes in the conditions of origin and implementation of entrepreneurial activity. There are new forms of relations between producers and consumers, managers and staff, between business partners. Information and communication technologies means a systemically connected set of methods and means of intellectual work associated with the search, accumulation, processing and protection of information, as well as its exchange between participants in joint activities.

The issues of improving the system of anti-crisis financial management in health care institutions of Ukraine are considered in the article taking onto account the strategic approach. The strategic approach gives a competitive advantage and the ability to develop measures to achieve goals in a competitive dynamic space. On the example of the Municipal non-profit Enterprise “Vinnytsia Central District Clinical Hospital” of Vinnytsia District Council, a SWOT analysis has been performed, which revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the medical institution, as well as opportunities and threats. Strengths are the focus on professionalism of staff, quality of management and medical services. Weaknesses are lack of funding, low autonomy in the ability to attract and dispose of funds, low staff remuneration. This, in turn, threatens staff turnover, reduces service delivery due to low solvency and high competition. Based on the results of the SWOT-analysis, the priorities of the institution’s development have been identified and strategic goals have been formulated. For example, improving the quality and expanding the list of medical services, increasing patient satisfaction, strengthening human resources, improving logistics of the medical institution, improving financial management. Specific measures have been developed to implement the goal of improving financial management. Additional sources of financing, formation of contractual relations with clear rules have been offered. The development strategy in 2021 will be largely determined by the further course of the pandemic and the dynamics of morbidity and the subsequent need to use the institution as an infectious disease hospital. All structural subdivisions of the institution are subject to constant development in order to be a leading, competitive, accessible hospital in the medical space and to provide a wide range of quality medical services aimed at improving the health of the population.

The article defines the essence, role and significance of economic strategies in the context of integrating domestic market agents into the international business environment. The main aspects of defining the concept of "strategy" are studied, and on this basis, the effects and phenomena that are implemented in the general economic theory are described and formalized. Based on the identification of the category of "strategy" in the context of various scientific approaches, the correctness of the author's research methodology is proven. The potential and main problems faced in the process of working up economic strategies for the development of integrated enterprises are identified, as well as the main threats posed to the evolution of market agents as a result of incorrect choice of strategic management tools are outlined. The categories of "strategy - economic behaviour" have been formalized following the author's concept, which outlines key similarities and differences. The main features of economic strategies are formed and generalized. It is emphasized that the international business environment is actively used by domestic integrated enterprises as a channel for removing financial resources outside the country. Particular attention is paid to the negative consequences of tax minimization, including the cases of reinvoicing (change in the price of goods) under the conditions of using non-resident companies. Emphasis is given to the main ways of stopping dysfunctional economic processes. It is established that from the point of view of the destructiveness of economic processes, the corresponding dysfunctions of strategy formation are a direct consequence of unjustified liberalization of the legislation. It is defined that the institutional environment itself is one of the key factors of ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of undergoing a socio-economic change in the context of implementing strategies for the development of integrated enterprises. It is pointed out that the dysfunctions of economic reform, including the destructive models of economic behaviour of enterprises, have become, in fact, a natural consequence of thoughtless institutional changes.

The article discusses the issue of establishing a list of transfer pricing risk indicators and determining further ways to use them. The problem of defining and using indicators of transfer pricing risks is relevant and has only recently begun to be discussed by experts in the field of international taxation and in academia. In fact, this category was not study as a separate category of indicators of tax risks, but was only considered in general terms as one of the types of tax risks. The study identified documents from international organizations that consider transfer pricing risks as a separate category of tax risks, as well as an element of tax control over taxpayers’ compliance with transfer pricing rules. On the basis of these documents, which summarize the international practice of transfer pricing, an indicative list of transfer pricing risk indicators has been studied and formed and recommendations have been developed on how to further use it by the tax authorities of Ukraine. The definition in this article of an indicative list of transfer pricing risk indicators in accordance with the documents of international organizations is an important prerequisite for understanding further steps to improve the domestic transfer pricing tax control system as a risk-oriented system. The author to suggested to using this list in the future for development and / or creation: a national indicative list of transfer pricing risks indicators and a domestic system for classifying and assessing such risks; standardized processes for identifying and processing information about potential transfer pricing risks and their integration into standardized processes of the general system for processing tax risks in the State Tax Service of Ukraine; determination methods (guidelines) and training materials on this issue; processes for selecting taxpayers for audits and evaluating the results of transfer pricing audits, and the like.
The Human Ecology: An Inverted Asswattha Plant (Ficus religiosa), A Symbolic Presentation by Sri Krishna in The Bhagavad Gita–An Analytical Review
Authors: Padhy Sachidananda
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT SriKrishna has presented human ecology (Manusya Loka) as an imperishable banyan tree in Bhagavad Gita that has its roots upward and branches down. The leaves of the plant are the Vedic hymns (human knowledge) and the twigs and buds are the objects of senses. The tree has also roots growing down (towards the branches), which are bound to the fruitive actions of human society. The plant is nourished by the three modes (Gunas) of material nature. The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand its foundation, beginning and end. The workculture of detachment is the weapon to cut down this strongly rooted tree, to make oneself free from the cycle of birth and death.
