Authors: Mohylova Maryna
Published: February 2025

The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to find directions for the development of companies in times of crisis and, accordingly, to form a substantiated system of anti-crisis management based on the diagnosis of all factors of business functioning. The strategy of mergers and acquisitions is considered as an alternative development strategy. The importance of diagnostics of the mergers and acquisitions market is proven in substantiating the company's development strategy by consolidating it with other enterprises or acquiring their shares. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the factor of general economic crises in the context of their influence on the development of the M&A market as an important element of diagnostics of the external economic environment in the formation of a strategy of mergers and acquisitions in the anti-crisis management system. An analysis of the wave-like development of the global M&A market under the influence of general financial, economic and energy crises, in particular the Great Depression, the financial crisis of 2008 and the corona crisis, and others, is carried out. The significance and dual nature of the influence of the crisis factor on the development of the M&A market in individual phases of the cycles is proven. The negative consequences of crises for business in terms of its activity to participate in integration agreements are revealed, which is confirmed by the decline in the M&A market and its stagnation. The significant importance of crisis phenomena in the economy for the structural transformation of the M&A market with its further development, stimulation of new forms of integration, expansion of the geography of transactions is established. The feasibility of using mergers and acquisitions by financially capable companies during the crisis to achieve strategic goals of scaling, diversifying the business and increasing the share and expanding the geography of the market is substantiated. For individual enterprises, it is proposed to use M&A as an anti-crisis protective strategy in times of crisis in order to avoid the risk of acquisition by competitors or other companies.

Authors: Horna Maryna , Surmachevs'ka Veronika
Published: February 2025

This article is dedicated to the pressing issue of the impact of harmful habits on the duration and quality of life of the population and is based on data from the Eurostat website for 2019, covering 29 European Union countries. Harmful habits, such as alcohol consumption and smoking, are among the most significant behavioral risk factors that negatively affect public health and mortality rates. Identifying such patterns is crucial for the development of effective preventive measures and the formation of public health policies.
The aim of the article was to determine statistically significant relationships between alcohol and tobacco consumption and the mortality rate from diseases related to these factors. To achieve this goal, statistical analysis was conducted, specifically applying the correlation analysis method and the Student's t-test. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of harmful habits between men and women were identified, and a direct connection between tobacco consumption and mortality from cancer-related diseases was established. Correlation analysis confirmed the existence of relationships between harmful habits and mortality rates. In particular, a moderate direct correlation was found between daily smoking and mortality from malignant tumors of the larynx, as well as an inverse correlation between the percentage of non-smokers and mortality from the same cause. To test the proposed hypotheses, the Student's t-test was conducted, which allowed for statistically confirming or refuting the identified patterns. The results confirm the significant impact of behavioral risk factors on mortality rates and highlight the importance of developing preventive measures. In conclusion, the statistical analysis of the prevalence of harmful habits  revealed significant differences, which can be attributed to social, cultural, and religious factors. The results confirm the necessity of developing and implementing effective programs for the prevention and treatment of addictions aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality related to harmful habits.

Published: February 2025

An entity's settlement relationships are an important component of its operations. Therefore, the management of receivables and payables requires constant monitoring and attention from management. An important basis for making management decisions is an objective assessment of the state of settlements, which can be implemented through economic and statistical analysis. According to the results of the study, it was found that the most common method is the coefficient analysis, while factor analysis and analysis of the relationship and impact of settlements with counterparties on the financial condition and business performance of the enterprise are less common. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of analytical indicators of the status of accounts receivable and accounts payable on the current liquidity of enterprise on the basis of building an econometric model of the relationship.
To assess the status of settlements with counterparties, the article calculates and analyses the turnover ratios of receivables and payables debts, and the liquidity of the researched business entity is determined. To objectively determine the impact and interrelation of the state of the enterprise's payment discipline, a multiple regression model of dependence of the current liquidity of the enterprise and the following factors was built: the ratio of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the share of other operating income in the total income of the enterprise. Further calculations have shown the existence of a close relationship between the selected indicators, and the Student's F-test has shown the adequacy of the built model.
The use of two areas of analysis of the state of settlements with counterparties: financial analysis of ratios and correlation and regression analysis allowed to form an objective assessment of it. It has been found that the use of only coefficient analysis does not allow a detailed assessment of the situation at the enterprise and its characterisation, identification of weaknesses in management, and prevention of negative consequences. Therefore, the addition of correlation and regression analysis allowed to assess the effectiveness of management of the status of settlements over a long period of time, determine the nature of the relationships and predict the future value of the studied indicators.

THE ROLE OF UNIVERSITIES IN STIMULATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATION
Authors: Galenko Oksana , Povoroznyk Mykola
Published: February 2025

The article examines the place of education in the system of factors of the country's international competitiveness. It is proven that universities are one of the institutional platforms for international scientific and technological exchange in the context of deepening techno-globalization processes. It is emphasized that within the framework of a team of like-minded scientists, they not only generate breakthrough scientific ideas in the most relevant areas of global innovative progress, but also form successful business projects on their basis and attract financial capital for their implementation from various funds and private investors. It is confirmed that France, Spain and the United Kingdom currently hold leading positions in the world in terms of the effectiveness of university startups and their potential impact on the dynamics of national economic development. As the data show, modern world universities are characterized by rather asymmetric efficiency indicators in generating consumer value for the global market by startups and their potential opportunities for accelerating global economic development. Characterizing the scale of state funding of university research and development, it is confirmed that the United States of America is currently significantly lagging behind other leading countries in global scientific and technological progress. Among the reasons that determine the growing lag of the United States of America in terms of state funding of university R&D, the key role is played primarily by their significant underfunding by state governments and a certain displacement of American higher education institutions from the global market of scientific and educational services by foreign universities. Specific global benchmarks of entrepreneurial efficiency in international scientific and technological transfer are given. It is argued that universities have become powerful platforms for organizing on their own startup base, making a significant contribution to the global development of scientific research and technology and accumulating the largest number of registered patents.

The Images of American ‘Ladies Aboard’ in the Novels by J.F.Cooper
Authors: Varkan Anna
Published: February 2025

The report sheds light on a number of features characteristic of Cooper’s depiction of his countrywomen travelling on board of ships. The analysis is primarily based on the novels “The Red Rover” (1827), “Homeward Bound, or the Chase” (1838), “The Pathfinder, or the Inland Sea” (1840) and “Afloat and Ashore” (1844). This article attempts to combine the study of women's images with the theme of the sea novel. In Russian literary critical studies, special attention has been paid to the exploration of Cooper’s marine novels, while the image of a lady in his writings has been overlooked par excellence. There are articles on the issue of Cooper’s female characters in American literary studies that tend to harshly criticize the author’s heroines for them being hardly distinguishable. This proposition is seen as only partially true, as the author of the present paper claims that the uniqueness of the female images created by J.F. Cooper lies in their natural existence aboard a ship, which was quite uncommon in American literary tradition. The article attempts to explore Cooper’s unique approach to the creation of female protagonists dwelling aboard from the perspective of the historical and cultural reasons why women were banned from ship travels in America.

Communication is one of the important elements in da'wah. The success and failure of da'wah is determined by the accuracy of the communication used by da'i as a communicator in conveying messages or information to mad'u whose position as communicant. The purpose of this study is to find out how to proper communication in the da'wah perspective of the Qur'an. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with this type of library research. Collect data through the study of books, journals, and literature related to the theme discussed. In understanding the content of the Qur'an using the approach of tafsir maudhu'i / thematic. The results of this study show that the position of communication perspective of the Qur'an occupies a very important position. In the Qur'an the word referring to the meaning of communication is the word al-bayān mentioned in the Qur'an surah ar-Raẖmān[55] verse 4 which means the ability to speak, then the word qaulan which is repeatedly mentioned in the Qur'an among them in surat an-Nisā [3] verse 5 which means speech. The Qur'an gives a hint that in preaching must use proper communication with qaulan ma'rûfan which means speaking in good words or not saying harsh words and hate speech in conveying the message of da'wah. The second uses qaulan sadīdan which means true words or messages conveyed based on facts and do not lie. What the Qur'an hints about communication in da'wah shows that words that contain hate speech and words that contain lies cannot be justified in da'wah activities.
