Trayectorias laborales de trabajadoras domésticas migrantes en Argentina
Authors: Mallimaci Barral Ana Inés , Magliano María José
Published: March 2023

Introducción: Diferentes investigaciones demuestran que la permanencia de las poblaciones migrantes en Argentina puede generar mejoras en sus condiciones de vida. El artículo se desarrolla a partir del análisis de las diversas trayectorias que tienen las mujeres migrantes, trabajadoras domésticas, cuando permanecen en el país.
Objetivo: El trabajo propone reconstruir, de manera retrospectiva, los diferentes movimientos en las trayectorias de las mujeres migrantes, tanto dentro como hacia afuera del sector del trabajo doméstico. Se intentan vislumbrar las limitaciones y posibilidades del contexto local y analizar los propios sentidos que las trabajadoras le otorgan a estas circulaciones.
Metodología: El artículo se basa en una investigación cualitativa que incluye 40 entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres migrantes, en AMBA y Córdoba, que son o fueron empleadas domésticas en algún momento de su trayectoria laboral.
Resultados: Se reconstruyen tres formas de movilidad: la movilidad horizontal dentro del sector, las formas de salida intermitente y la salida definitiva. En cada una de ellas, el análisis se centra en la perspectiva de las propias trabajadoras.
Conclusiones: Los resultados reflejan la importancia de la articulación entre trabajo doméstico remunerado y no remunerado. Asimismo, permite dar cuenta de tres cuestiones principales: en primer lugar, que salir del entorno del trabajo doméstico no siempre significa «mejorar» desde la perspectiva de las propias trabajadoras; en segundo lugar, que se puede «mejorar» siendo trabajadora doméstica; y, en tercer lugar, que existen trayectorias de movilidad social ascendente entre las mujeres migrantes trabajadoras domésticas.

Authors: Saborío Sebastián
Published: March 2023

Introducción: El presente artículo presenta la percepción de las personas residentes de Rincón Grande de Pavas, conjunto de barrios vulnerables que se encuentran en la capital costarricense, al accionar policial en la lucha a la venta de drogas a escala local, y los rumores negativos que circulan a respecto. Dichos rumores reflejan el descontento de tal población hacia las fuerzas de policía que llevan a cabo sus labores en el área analizada.  
Objetivo: En Costa Rica no se han realizado estudios sobre el control policial de la venta de drogas en zonas urbano-marginalizadas del país y sus consecuencias respecto a la relación entre las fuerzas de policía y la población local. El presente artículo busca colmar este vacío y, para hacerlo, se enfoca en el análisis del caso de Rincón Grande de Pavas.
Metodología: Para llegar a las conclusiones aquí presentadas, el autor se basa en 67 entrevistas en profundidad que llevó a cabo, principalmente, con residentes de la zona analizada, entre marzo 2019 y marzo 2020; además de un grupo focal realizado con cinco policías de Pavas en febrero del 2019.

Published: March 2023

Supporting those individuals who have reached retirement age is essential for any country, although academic staff deserves special attention. Professors face significant challenges as they reach retirement age. The article aimed to empirically substantiate the relationship between well-being, pension payments, and pensioners' health using the example of universities in Georgia. Based on the survey results, which 630 university professors attended before retirement and retirement age, the factors influencing the respondents' fear of losing their jobs in retirement we identified. By applying regression models, we evaluated the effectiveness of alternatives for improving the well-being of pensioners by increasing wages and state pensions. The efficacy of these alternatives differs depending on the health status of pensioners. It has been established that the differentiation of pension amounts depending on the length of service can increase the confidence in the well-being of pensioners without increasing the pension provision.

Published: March 2023

Background: Different questionnaires have been developed globally to assess and compare the impact of food allergy on the quality of life. The aim of this study was to validate a Spanish translation of the Food Allergy Independent Measure (FAIM) and the EuroPrevall Food Allergy–Quality of Life Questionnaire–Teenage Form (FAQLQ-TF) for adolescents aged 13–17 years.
Methods: Sixty adolescents diagnosed with immunoglobulin E-mediated allergy to food completed the questionnaires. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess internal consistency; correlation between FAQLQ-TF and FAIM was used to test construct validity. The discriminant validity was evaluated by comparison with the number of offending foods, the perceived impact on social life, the diagnosis of anaphylaxis, and the previous prescription of adrenaline auto--injectors (AAI).
Results: No question fulfilled criteria to be removed from the questionnaire. For FAIM, Cronbach’s alpha = 0.763, and for the four domains of FAQLQ-TF, Cronbach’s alpha = 0.797–0.847. A significant correlation existed between FAQLQ-TF and FAIM, and of both of them with anaphylaxis and the prescription of AAI (P ˂ 0.05 for all comparisons).
Conclusions: This Spanish translation of FAIM and FAQLQ-TF for adolescents had good internal consistency and construct validity as well as ability to discriminate patients according to the number of foods to avoid, impact on social life, diagnosis of anaphylaxis, and AAI prescription.

Aim. To develop a method for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains belonging to highly lethal, hypervirulent, multidrug-resistant Beijing 14717-15-cluster to be applied to screen for M. tuberculosis retrospective collections obtained from various regions of Russia. The collection included M. tuberculosis DNA samples obtained during population studies. Spoligotyping and genotyping of 24 variable number tandem repeats loci were performed according to standard protocols. Phylogenetic analysis was based on the whole genome sequencing data. Polymorphism at the genomic position 2423040 A G, specific for the Beijing 14717-15 cluster, was detected using PCR-RFLP and HhaI restriction enzyme. The bioinformatic and phylogenetic analysis of whole genome sequencing data for 205 strains of the early ancient sublineage of the M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype showed that strains with the VNTR 14717-15 profile (according to MIRU-VNTRplus.org) and those close to it were grouped into one monophyletic cluster of related strains, which we defined as Beijing 14717-15-cluster. Among the SNPs specific for the 14717-15 cluster, we chose a functionally neutral SNP at the genomic position 2423040 A G (Rv2161c Val33Ala) and developed a method for its detection in the PCR-RFLP format. Next, we applied this method to screening DNA collections from the regions of the European and Asian parts of Russia and Asian countries. The data demonstrate the presence of strains of the Beijing 14717-15 cluster only in the Asian region of Russia peaking in Buryatia (18%). We have developed a method for detection of the hypervirulent and highly lethal genetic cluster M. tuberculosis Beijing 14717-15 based on detection of the specific mutation in the Rv2161c gene using PCR followed by HhaI restriction of the PCR product and agarose gel electrophoresis to discriminate between wild-type and mutant alleles. The advantages of the proposed method are the speed, simple and unambiguous data interpretation, opportunity to detect contamination and mixed infection, suitability for efficient analysis of large collections of M. tuberculosis strains.

Enteroviruses are non-enveloped viruses of Enterovirus genus, Picornaviridae family, causing a variety of human diseases: from acute respiratory and intestinal infections to more severe pathologies including poliomyelitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, pancreatitis. Currently, no approved direct-acting antiviral drugs for treatment of enterovirus infections exists, whereas vaccination is available only for prevention of poliomyelitis and enterovirus 71 infection. Therefore, it is promising to conduct a search for inhibitors of enteroviruses life cycle in drug development to treat enterovirus infections. Here, antiviral properties of stable free radicals, verdazyls, and their precursors, leucoverdazyls, were investigated. It has been shown that leucoverdazyls vs verdazyls increased the survival of permissive cell culture infected with coxsackievirus. The activity range of the lead leucoverdazyl against RNA-containing and DNA-containing human viruses (in the viral yield reduction assay) and its proposed mechanism of action (time of addition assay) was studied. The lead compound suppressed reproduction of group B enteroviruses in vitro, with modest activity against influenza A virus and no activity against herpes virus type 1 and adenovirus type 5. The maximum decrease in viral titers was observed upon its addition to infected cells during early and middle stages of the virus life cycle. Thus, we concluded that the studied compound has a pronounced inhibitory activity against group B enteroviruses not belonging to the class of capsid binder inhibitors, without virucidal properties. Previously, we described antioxidant properties of leucoverdazyls. It is known that many viral infections are accompanied by production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, and some compounds with antioxidant properties exhibit antiviral potential. Targeted chemical modifications of leucoverdazyls and further studies of leucoverdazyl mechanism of action as well as in vivo animal studies are needed. However, the results obtained may be useful for future development of new antiviral drugs to treat enteroviral infections.

The article analyses job satisfaction among contemporary Korean women in correlation with the respondents’ age group. The examined aspects relate to wage levels, working conditions, working hours, and responsibilities. The results indicate that the respondents’ age group has a significant impact on job satisfaction in the aspects under review. The independence test X2 (chisquare) has been applied and the Cramér’s coefficient V and the materiality level (p) have been interpreted. The analysed data are derived from the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF) of 2007 (Wave 1) and 2016 (Wave 6). Changes in satisfaction are evident in all analysed aspects, in the context of a comparative analysis of both waves. The analysis demonstrated that contemporary Korean women had little job satisfaction in the surveyed aspects in 2016. However, in 2007, the majority did not have any opinion on the subject. The greatest differences in satisfaction relate to working conditions, working hours, and responsibilities. The slightest difference (although still significant) was observed in the wage satisfaction analysis.
Raj utracony – losy Morysków w Trylogii grenadzkiej Raḍwy ‘Āšūr. Konteksty postkolonialne
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Kubarek Magdalena
Published: March 2023

The paper focuses on a historical novel, a genre that enjoys great popularity in Arabic literature. Based on historical material incorporated in literary fiction, the contemporary Arab writers try to deal with the most important subjects of ongoing intellectual discourse, such as colonialism, neocolonialism, and postcolonial identity. The analysed material is the novel The Granada Trilogy by Egyptian writer Raḍwà ‘Āšūr (Radwa Ashour), which in 1994, won the Best Book of the Year Award granted by the General Egyptian Book Organisation and the first prize at the first Arab Women’s Book Fair in 1995. It has been translated into many languages, including English and Spanish. The three-volume chronicle covers the period from 1491 to 1609, i.e., from the fall of Granada to the total expulsion of Muslims from Andalusia. The article aims to show that the author of The Granada Trilogy illustrates the gradual and deliberate elimination of Arab-Muslim culture in Spain as another act of the West-East confrontation, putting it in the colonial and neocolonial context of contemporary conflicts in the Arab World.

STEAM education inspires children to engage in creative activities, research, enriches their play experience, and should be integrated already at the preschool level, as this level provides the best return on an individual’s motivation and ensures his further development. The article discusses the LEGO education methodology and its benefits in promoting the learning of STEAM subjects. The research aim is to reveal teachers’ views about the development of STEAM skills of preschool children using innovative LEGO education methodology and tools. 12 pedagogues from preschool education institutions in Vilnius, Panevėžys and Telšiai participated in the study, during which pedagogues organized 10 educational activities with STEAM Park and Maker tools according to prepared plans. After each activity, pedagogues reflected on the benefits of the activity for the 4–6 years old children, their achievements, organizational successes, and difficulties. Discussing pedagogues’ reflections on the LEGO education methodology and the results of testing its’ tools allowed to reveal the unique benefits for the growth of children’s achievements such as teamwork, conflict management, leadership, problem solving, learning to learn. Pedagogues noted that the development of STEAM capabilities, active participation of children, learning through personal experience, and experimentation are emphasized. It is also remarkable that children willingly choose LEGO blocks during their free play, which shows the effectiveness and practical usefulness of this innovative methodology.

Published: March 2023

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques can predict complex fluid flow structures and the thermal performance of jet impingement systems. Numerical studies can complement extensive and time-consuming experimental studies where local parameter measurements are difficult and costly to obtain. In the current work, a combination of one, four, and nine square jets impingements are numerically investigated with CFD for mass flow rate (m) ranging from 2.71 × 10-4 to 7.40 × 10-4 kg/s. The effects of the jet's outlet-to-target plate distance (Z) are assessed as a function of the width of a single square nozzle (B). The flow field features of different nozzle configurations are also studied. It is shown that the Nusselt number increases as the mass flow rate increases, but increases inversely as the dimensionless jet's outlet-to-target plate spacing Z/B increases. The numerical investigation also demonstrates that when increasing the number of nozzles under a constant mass flow rate, the Nusselt number significantly increases. The effect of nozzle configuration is not that significant at Z/B > 7. It is found that the present impinging jet system offers about 63% enhancement in thermal efficiency, while the pumping power increases by 3.7 times. All simulations are successfully validated with experimental data.
Rude Railing Rhymers: Reading Close Rhyme in Skeltonic Verse and Hip-Hop
Authors: Brush Emma
Published: March 2023

At the turn of the sixteenth century, John Skelton left a strange legacy to the English literary canon: a verse form characterized solely by short lines and long rhyme sequences. This formal innovation, a species of close rhyme now called “the Skeltonic,” has puzzled Skelton's interlocutors for centuries, leaving him a liminal figure within literary history. But if Skelton was an anomaly, the Skeltonic does not stand alone within the English-language literary canon. American hip-hop, one of the most formally innovative, commercially successful, and contentious poetic forms of our day, foregrounds a style and ethos that in many ways picks up where Skelton left off. Hip-hop, like the Skeltonic, requires the explanatory force of its own context, and yet its remarkable, persistent, historically dissonant commitment to rhyme suggests a striking formal parallel with Skelton's verse, one that offers transhistorical insight into the performative poetics and paradoxical politics of close rhyme.
Illegible Histories, Invisible Movements: Indigenous Refusal in Blake Hausman's Riding the Trail of Tears
Authors: Friedman Gabriella
Published: March 2023

This essay analyzes Blake Hausman's Riding the Trail of Tears to explore the complexities of rendering history visible—both viewable and knowable—in the context of settler colonial capitalism. The novel centers on a virtual reality (VR) experience called the Tsalagi Removal Exodus Point Park (TREPP), which allows tourists to experience the Cherokee Removal as an educational and entertaining experience. Through the trope of VR, the novel articulates how historicizing invested in visibility risks turning Native people and knowledge into consumable objects. Instead of seeking colonial recognition by making their history visible, characters in Riding the Trail of Tears mobilize invisibility to jam the machine of settler colonialism. Their surreptitious movement leads to direct action that counters settler appropriation. The novel thus highlights the importance of Indigenous refusal and models specific strategies for enacting it.
The Postgraduate Theses in ELT between 2019 and 2021: A Methodological Comparison
Authors: ÖCEL Muhammet , SU BERGİL Ayfer
Published: March 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the scientific research in educational sciences as almost all aspects of life since it broke out in China in late 2019. Research in English Language Teaching (ELT) has run across several problems, much like other science domains. Researchers may have encountered difficulties while trying to reach volunteers in their studies due to psychological or physiological complications. On the other hand, distance, or flexible face-to-face education in all the educational cycles may have led some researchers to spend more time conducting their studies. Considering these possible effects of the pandemic, the main purpose of this study is to explore ELT researchers’ methodological tendencies in their master’s theses and doctoral dissertations published pre (2019) and while (2020, 2021) pandemic in Türkiye. The sample consisted of 806 master’s theses and 128 doctoral dissertations. By using a grid and checklist, data was collected qualitatively by implementing the qualitative document analysis method. The collected data was analyzed quantitatively by using descriptive statistics. Although the number of theses and dissertations decreased during the pandemic, the findings indicated that researchers conducted more in-depth analyses. The study has significance for further researchers in that the findings have shown that they may need to do their research planning in a more adaptable way and have alternative plans in case of similar unusual situations on a large or small scale, like the pandemic.

Millî Uyanışın Anlatıları yahut Ethem Nejat’ın Dergilerde Kalmış Hikâyeleri
Authors: GÜNGÖR Bilgin
Published: March 2023

Ethem Nejat, II. Meşrutiyet Dönemi’nin önde gelen aydınlarından biridir. Eğitim bürokrasisinin çeşitli kademelerinde görev yapan, döneme damga vurmuş bazı dergi ve gazetelerin çıkmasına öncülük eden, bir grup öğrencisi ve öğretmen arkadaşıyla beraber Çanakkale Savaşı’na gönüllü olarak katılan Ethem Nejat 1918’e kadar Türkçü düşüncenin, 1918’den itibaren ise sosyalist düşüncenin izinden gitmiştir. Türkçü olduğu yıllarda çeşitli makalelerin, kitapların yanı sıra birtakım hikâyeler de kaleme almıştır. Yani, bugün daha çok eğitimci ve siyasetçi kimlikleriyle bilinse de Ethem Nejat'ın bir de edebiyatçı kimliği söz konusudur. Gerek içerik gerekse de biçim açısından Millî Edebiyat estetiği çerçevesinde değerlendirebileceğimiz, Türkçülük ekseninde propagandist bir tutumun kendisini net bir şekilde gösterdiği bu hikâyelerin ikisi, yani en hacimlileri ve zamanında kitap formatında yayımlanmış olanları (“Çiftlik Müdürü” ve “Yiğit Türkler”) kısa bir süre önce Ütopik Hikâyeler başlıklı bir çalışmada yorumlanıp derlenmişti. Bu makalede ise diğer hikâyeler, yani kısa ve dergilerde yayımlananlar (“O Zengin ve Mesut Oldu”, “Kahraman Nuri”, “Bal Bahçesi” ve “Zengin Böcekçi”) yorumlanıp derlenmiştir.
A magyar kreatív fiatalok lakóhelyválasztási preferenciái és annak változása a COVID-19 fényében
Authors: Teveli-Horváth Dorottya , Varga Virág
Published: March 2023

Magyarországon különösen nagy terhet ró a vidéki térségekre - többek között - a kreatív fiatalok elvándorlása a fővárosba vagy a külföldi nagyvárosokba, hiszen a humántőke jelenléte és aktivitása jelentős hatással van a városok versenyképességére és rezilienciájára. Mindemellett látható, hogy a COVID-19 az elmúlt szűk két évben jelentősen átformálta a lakóhelyi preferenciákat, és sok elemzés szerint a vidéki tér felértékelődését is hozta. Az elsősorban kvantitatív adatokat szintetizáló komplex mutatók és városrangsorok mellett fontos lehet az aktuális vonzó-taszító tényezők kvalitatív megismerése is.
Jelen kutatás célja, hogy – magyarországi ún. csapágy- és középvárosok fiatal, képzett munkaerővonzó potenciálját vizsgáló kvantitatív kutatások folytatásaként és kiegészítéseként – egy longitudinális kvalitatív vizsgálat keretében árnyalja a magyarországi kreatív fiatalok lakóhelyválasztási preferenciáit és azok változásait a COVID-19 hatására.
A kutatás empirikus részét nyolc fókuszcsoportos beszélgetés alapozta meg. A kutatás első szakaszában a szerzők 9 fő lakóhelyválasztási tényezőt azonosítottak, amelyek prioritási sorrendjét jelentősen megváltoztatta a COVID-19, illetve a követett kutatási résztvevők élethelyzetének változása (lakóhely, munkahely, tanulmányi státusz,családi állapot).
A vizsgálat eredményeként elmondható, hogy míg 2019-ben a vidékre (vissza)költözés sokak számára praktikus szempontok, például a felsőoktatás, munkahely és szociális élet adta kötöttségek miatt elérhetetlen volt, a 2021-es kutatási szakasz rávilágítottarra, hogy a COVID-19 – ezáltal pedig a home office, a természeti környezet és a család felértékelődése – sok fiatalban katalizálta, felerősítette a vidékre költözés igényét, majd felgyorsította döntéseiket is.
A megkérdezett fiatalok vízióját tekintve elmondható, hogy szűk többségük vagy már Budapest agglomerációjába, illetve vidékre költözött, vagy egy évtizedes távlatban gondolkodik azon.
On the Effectiveness of Smart Metering Technology Adoption: Evidence from the National Rollout in the United Kingdom

Published: March 2023

In response to the burgeoning threats of climate change to humanity, numerous governments, such as those of the United States and most European countries, have launched rollout programs for the distribution of smart metering technology (SMT). Despite this notable recent investment, questions of whether and why SMT adoption facilitates the reduction of households’ energy demands remain relatively unexplored. Building on cognitive dissonance theory, we propose a research model for SMT adoption, residential energy-saving behaviors, and moderating factors. We then empirically test the model using a rich household dataset from the United Kingdom between 2012 and 2016. Our results show that SMT adoption is positively associated with energy-saving behaviors, while energysaving motivations substantially moderate this association—a lower level of concern about saving energy / a higher level of concern about climate change amplifies this effect. Importantly, we find that SMT usage positively moderates this relationship, but this marginal gain decreases in technology usage intensity. Our findings contribute to the information systems literature by showing a consequence of new technology adoption along with the role of cognitive dissonance in promoting intended objectives and identifying potential moderating effects. We discuss actionable insights for policymakers and utility firms.
Theorizing about the Early-Stage Diffusion of Codependent IT Innovations

In this paper, we focus on the early-stage diffusion of codependent IT innovations, which are a type of innovation in which the overall innovation consists of two complementary parts that are adopted by two different adopter communities but where both parts need to be jointly adopted by the two coadopter communities for successful diffusion of the overall innovation. Using innovation diffusion, organizing vision (OV), and institutional entrepreneurship theories as the key theoretical lenses, and an in-depth case study reconstructed using 20 years of discourse surrounding Walmart’s campaign in the early stage of diffusion of the RFID-in-retailing technology, we develop a fourphase process model for the early-stage diffusion of codependent IT innovations. We make three specific contributions to the IS discipline, specifically to the literature on IS innovation adoption and diffusion. First, we add the notion of coadopter relative advantage and posit that the organization in the coadopter community with a higher coadopter relative advantage that perceives the highest degree of coadopter relative advantage will emerge as an institutional entrepreneur (IE) and will influence the early-stage diffusion of the codependent IT innovation. Second, we add the notion of an internal-external influencer and posit that the IE may be an actor who is internal to the overall adoption phenomenon, which involves two different coadopter communities, but external to the coadopter community with a lower coadopter relative advantage that adopts the innovation component. Third, we divide the early-stage diffusion process into four phases—emergence, structuralization, evolution, and chasm—and identify the institutional entrepreneurship strategies used and the OV functions enacted by the IE during each phase. We propose that the IE for a codependent innovation will: (1) use the rationale development strategy and enact the interpretation OV function during the emergence phase, (2) use the resource mobilization strategy and enact the mobilization OV function during the structuralization phase, (3) use the relationship development strategy and enact the legitimation OV function during the evolution phase, and (4) use all the three institutional entrepreneurship strategies and enact all the three OV functions during the chasm phase.
An Index for the Degree and Directionality of Asymmetry for Square Contingency Tables with Ordered Categories

Published: March 2023

For square contingency tables with ordered categories, an index based on Cressie and Read's power divergence (or Patil and Taillie's diversity index) has been proposed in order to measure the degree of departure from symmetry. Although there are two types of maximum asymmetry (i.e., whether (1) all the observations concentrate in the top-right cell in the table, or (2) they concentrate in the bottom-left cell), the existing index cannot distinguish the two directions of maximum asymmetry. This paper proposes a directional index based on an arc-cosine function in order to simultaneously represent the degree and directionality of asymmetry.The proposed index would be useful for comparing degrees of asymmetry for several square contingency tables. Numerical examples show the utility of the proposed index using some datasets. We evaluate the usefulness of the proposed index by applying it to real data of the clinical study. The proposed index provides analysis results that are easier to interpret than the existing index.
Development of psychological readiness of military personnel of tank units for combat task performance
Authors:   The National Defence University of Ukraine named after Ivan Cherniakhovskyi, Yurkova О.
Published: March 2023

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the development of the psychological readiness of servicemen of tank units for combat tasks performance. The formative part of the experimental study was carried out by implementing the program aimed at developing the components of psychological readiness (cognitive, motivational, emotional-volitional, functional and individual psychological qualities). The experiment was conducted in the period from 2021 to 2022. After applying the method of mathematical statistics (non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-tests), the statistically significant changes in indicators were revealed, that occurred in those servicemen of tank units with whom the formative program was conducted. The peculiarities of statistical changes in each of the components were revealed and their interpretation was carried out. It was found that the main workload of the tank crewman's professional activity falls on areas directly related to the implementation of special techniques, skills and methods of action, working out the specific conditions of military personnel, which demonstrated positive statistically significant indicators during the course of the program. A comparative analysis of the diagnostic results of the control and experimental groups after conducting the formative experiment testifies the effectiveness of the author's program, which expands the system of professional knowledge, strengthens motivation, develops important professional skills and the personal construct of the tank crewman. Thus, the proposed measures are aimed at developing the criteria of each of the components of psychological readiness and collectively form personal psychological readiness, which, in turn, is the basis for the group psychological readiness of the tank unit. The result of the implementation of the program is the formation of new ideas about psychological readiness as an integral manifestation of a professional, which in turn encourages self-development.

Published: March 2023

The article deals with the areas of digital transformation of servicemen financial support system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under martial law in accordance with the course of NATO standards implementation in the military sphere. The expediency of optimizing the procedure for calculating cash payments to servicemen by introducing digital technologies into servicemen financial support security system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is substantiated. The solution of the problem requires a comprehensive approach and determination of the ways of reforming the Ukrainian digital space in order to create an online portal for the provision of social services for servicemen. In order to find ways to organize remote and operational access of servicemen to own financial information, a study of modern classical technologies (3.0+) and new technologies (4.0) was conducted. A number of digital transformation technologies of the system of financial support of the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as promising directions of reforming the Ukrainian digital space have been identified. Based on the results of an analytical review of a number of regulatory and legal documents, the components of the financial support system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in wartime conditions were clarified and, as a result, a model for the introduction of digital technologies was formulated according to the outlined directions of transformation. A mechanism has been defined that requires the improvement of the procedure for the organization of military financiers at all levels of military administration and their coordinated interaction with specialists of state institutions with the aim of introducing digital technologies to the Center for the Provision of Administrative Services of Ukraine.
