Utopía libertaria y utopía queer ¿Un matrimonio imposible?
Authors: Schwember Augier Felipe
Published: December 2021

El siguiente trabajo explora la posibilidad de un libertarianismo queer a partir de la comparación de la utopía libertaria con la utopía queer. Sostendré que la utopía libertaria de la no coacción ofrece un marco propicio para la expresión de las identidades queer, pues no tiene una concepción de sexualidad o de género predilecta. Asimismo, sostendré que el capitalismo —como sistema económico de la utopía libertaria— no resulta hostil a las reivindicaciones o aspiraciones de la utopía queer. Por ello, en la medida en que el capitalismo no supone ni requiere de la heterosexualidad obligatoria para su propio funcionamiento, la posibilidad de un libertarianismo queer es altamente plausible. Sin embargo, se identificarán algunas fuentes potenciales de conflicto entre ambas utopías. Esas asperezas solo pueden limarse si el libertarianismo amplía su concepto de voluntariedad. Concluiré que el matrimonio entre ambas utopías es posible, pero requiere de algunas concesiones mutuas.
¿Qué condiciones favorecen una transparencia pública efectiva? Artículo de revisión
Authors: Villoria Mendieta Manuel
Published: December 2021

Los estudios sobre transparencia pública han florecido en las últimas tres décadas, pero las revisiones comprehensivas de las investigaciones sobre el tema han sido limitadas, especialmente en español. Ello debilita las posibilidades de comprensión del fenómeno y dificulta el avance de las prácticas existentes. Para reducir este vacío, este artículo trata de, en base a una revisión exhaustiva de literatura, dar respuesta a preguntas como: (1) ¿Cómo ha sido definida y conceptualizada la transparencia en la literatura?; (2) ¿Qué condiciones favorecen que las políticas de transparencia tengan impactos positivos? Los resultados nos muestran que existen diversas condiciones y factores endógenos (controlables mediante el diseño de la política de transparencia) para explicar la calidad de los outputs y de los procedimientos vinculados a la transparencia, y que son requisitos necesarios, pero no suficientes, para los impactos deseados. Las condiciones exógenas (no controlables mediante estos diseños) se articulan en cinco grupos: sociales, institucionales, estructurales, políticos y económicos. En general, parecen coincidir en que sociedades con confianza institucional previa, políticas educativas y sanitarias de calidad y Administraciones meritocráticas son claramente más proclives a tener una transparencia efectiva y, con ello, una mejor gobernanza. Concluimos con reflexiones sobre vías futuras de investigación.
Blended Learning Strategies for Japanese Literature Classes in the University
Authors:   Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Brazil, Sá Michele Eduarda Brasil de
Published: December 2021

In Brazil, the country with the largest population of Japanese descent outside Japan, there are currently one private and eight public universities offering undergraduate studies in Japanese Language and Literature. Even though there is a considerable amount of research about blended learning strategies concerning the study of foreign languages, it does not happen the same way when it comes to foreign literature. Besides, learning literature demands more than knowing the language in which it is written. This work presents some reflections on blended learning strategies with the aim of contributing to Japanese literature classes in the context of Brazilian undergraduate courses.
On Smoothed MWSD Estimation of Mixing Proportion
Authors: Konda Satish , K.L. Mehra, , Y.S. Ramakrishnaiah
Published: December 2021

The problem considered in the present paper is estimation of mixing proportions of mixtures of two (known) distributions by using the minimum weighted square distance (MWSD) method. The two classes of smoothed and unsmoothed parametric estimators of mixing proportion proposed in a sense of MWSD due to Wolfowitz(1953) in a mixture model F(x)=p (x)+(1-p) (x) based on three independent and identically distributed random samples of sizes n and , =1,2 from the mixture and two component populations. Comparisons are made based on their derived mean square errors (MSE). The superiority of smoothed estimator over unsmoothed one is established theoretically and also conducting Monte-Carlo study in sense of minimum mean square error criterion. Large sample properties such as rates of a.s. convergence and asymptotic normality of these estimators are also established. The results thus established here are completely new in the literature.

Authors: Muhammad Ahsan ul Haq  , Babar Ayesha , Hashmi Sharqa , Alghamdi Abdulaziz S. , Afify Ahmed Z.
Published: December 2021

We propose a new two-parameter discrete model, called discrete Type-II half-logistics exponential (DTIIHLE) distribution using the survival discretization approach. The DTIIHLE distribution can be utilized to model COVID-19 data. The model parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. The usefulness of the proposed distribution is evaluated using two real-life COVID-19 data sets. The DTIIHLE distribution provides a superior fit to COVID-19 data as compared with competitive discrete models including the discrete-Pareto, discrete Burr-XII, discrete log-logistic, discrete-Lindley, discrete-Rayleigh, discrete inverse-Rayleigh, and natural discrete-Lindley.
A new Mean Deviation and Advanced Mean Deviation Techniques to Solve Multi-Objective Fractional Programming Problem Via Point-Slopes Formula
Authors: Mustafa Rebaz , Sulaiman Nejmaddin A.
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we have proposed a new technique to find an efficient solution to fractional programming problems (FPP). The multi-objective fractional programming problem (MOFPP) is converted into multi-objective linear programming (MOLPP) utilizing the point-slopes formula for a plane, which has equivalent weights to the MOFPP. The MOLPP is diminished to a single objective linear programming problem (SOLPP) through using two new techniques for the values of the objective function and suggesting an algorithm for its solution. Finally, we obtained the optimal solution for MOFPP by solving the consequent linear programming problem (LPP). The proposed practicability is confirmed with the existing approaches, with some numerical examples and we indicated comparison with other techniques.

Authors: Baali Laid , Belagraa Larbi , Chikouche Mohamed Aziz , Zeghichi Leila
Published: December 2021

The use of waste and by-products has been for many decades for the manufacturing of building materials such as concrete and mortars. That responds simultaneously to reasons of economy of natural resources in aggregates (C&D waste) and the possibility of recovering industrial waste additions as replacement in composites. The present study focuses on the use of plastic waste fibers embedded in the cement matrix of self-compacting concrete SCC to improve its properties, either rheological mainly, the stability at fresh state or mechanical responses such as compressive and tensile strengths at hard state. This incorporation of plastic fiber reinforcement on the structure matrix could result an alternative SCC composite as a ductile material with enhanced properties. In this context, the self-compacting composites by adding a variable percentage of plastic fibers at 0.5, 1, 1.5% is formulated. Hence, the effect of plastic fibers waste on the rheological and mechanical properties of SCC is assessed. The obtained results in the present study let us to conclude the beneficial effect of such inclusion of plastic fibers on this new confected SCC fiber composition with acceptable rheological, physical and mechanical properties compared to those of a normal SCC concrete.

ABOUT THE RATIO OF ELEMENTS OF CRIMES PROVIDED FOR BY ARTICLES 201 AND 285 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Elekina S. V.
Published: December 2021

Among the controversial issues of law enforcement is the problem of distinguishing between abuse of authority and abuse of official authority. This problem is caused by a significant similarity of the elements of crimes under article 201 and article 285 of the criminal code. In order to correct qualification called socially dangerous encroachments in the article conducted a comparative legal analysis of the major signs of compounds that characterize the object, objective side, subjective side and the subject of abuse. Proposed effects of any kind of abuse of power committed in the field of private services, and in the sphere of public services is considered a significant violation of rights and legitimate interests of citizens and (or) organizations or legally protected interests of society or state, which includes substantial harm. The type of composition by design is formal and material. The object and subject of abuse of authority and abuse of official powers are identified as the main criteria for distinguishing between criminal attacks under the current criminal legislation of Russia.
Outer space law
Authors: Krivokapich Boris
Published: December 2021

Given that sudden breakthroughs in conquering the cosmos are expected, some basic questions about the law governing relations in respect to outer space and in it can be expected to be triggered, starting already with the issue how one has to call that law and what is its real content. The first part of the paper deals with the naming of this branch of law and concludes that for the time being the term outer space law is the best and widely accepted. In the second part, the author states that many scientific papers and even official documents, do not define outer space law at all. There are even opinions that the outer space is a phenomenon which cannot be defined at all, suggesting that it is not possible to define a cosmic right either. The author considers that a distinction should be made between national space law of states and international space law (space law in the narrow sense a branch of international law containing legal rules governing relations in respect to the space and in the space, and in particular the regime of that space and celestial bodies it contains, exploration and exploitation of the space, the regime of navigation in the space, the legal position of the astronauts and space objects, international legal liability for damage caused by space activities, etc.). When so is clearly stated, one can also speak of space law in a broad sense, which, in addition to the norms of space law in the narrow sense, would include norms that are part of soft law, agreements and legal customs between states and non-state entities, and even at some point so-called. metalaw (law that may one day govern relations between humanity and creatures of other worlds).
Beyond East and West: What ‘Ladder’ Did John Wu Use Towards This Goal? (Part Two)
Authors: Wesołowski Zbigniew
Published: December 2021

John Wu Jingxiong (1899-1986) was a diplomat, scholar, and authority on international law. He was also a prominent Chinese Catholic convert. His spiritual autobiography Beyond East and West (1951) reminds us of the Confessiones of St. Augustine for its moving description of John Wu’s conversion to Catholicism in 1937 and his early years as a Catholic. The very title of Wu’s autobiography points to his spiritual ideal which let humanity go beyond cultural particularities (be they Western, Chinese, or other). John Wu found wisdom in China’s great traditions, i.e., Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism, pointing to their universal truths that come ultimately from, and are fulfilled in, Christ. The author of this contribution has searched for John Wu’s universal traits which go beyond any culture and calls them, metaphorically, a “ladder”. He has found a threefold ladder, i.e. that of the Christian faith, of human friendship and human and divine love, and that of natural law.
System władzy w ChRL w okresie reform: Ewolucja, wyzwania, sprzeczności. Część II: lata 2012-2020
Authors: Pawłowski Józef
Published: December 2021

Niniejszy tekst stanowi analizę przemian w strukturach władzy w ChRL oraz ewolucji modelu rządów w tym kraju, jakie nastąpiły po XVIII zjeździe Komunistycznej Partii Chin, to jest po objęciu przez Xi Jinpinga stanowiska sekretarza generalnego partii. Zauważalny już w okresie rządów Hu Jintao kryzys modelu „kolektywnego kierownictwa” przyczynił się do tego, że po 2012 r. rozpoczęło się konsolidowanie władzy oraz kompetencji w ręku niewielkiej liczby instancji partyjnych, nad którymi bezpośredni nadzór objął Xi Jinping. Celem tego działania było odzyskanie przez najwyższe gremia decyzyjne kontroli nad całym aparatem partyjno-państwowym a w rezultacie skuteczniejsze zarządzanie krajem i bardziej efektywna implementacja reform. Wprowadzanie przez Xi Jinpinga nowego, jednoosobowego modelu podejmowania kluczowych decyzji wiązało się także z osłabianiem czy wręcz eliminacją wpływowych grup interesu w partii i aparacie państwowym, czego przejawem stała się kampania zwalczania korupcji oraz szereg działań dyscyplinarnych zastosowanych wobec urzędników wszystkich szczebli.

Okres po XVIII zjeździe KPCh to także czas formowania się nowego układu w elitach władzy. Z jednej strony znaczącą czy wręcz kluczową pozycję w procesie decyzyjnym uzyskali bliscy doradcy i stronnicy Xi Jinpinga, z drugiej – w organach władzy wyższego szczebla zaczęły kształtować się grupy i frakcje niepowiązane ściśle z jednym z poprzednich przywódców, lecz oparte na wspólnej tożsamości zawodowej, branżowej, pokoleniowej oraz na określonych wizjach drogi dalszego rozwoju, jaką Chiny winny podążać. Ostatnia dekada to ponadto okres wyraźnego wzrostu znaczenia instytucji doradczych i gremiów eksperckich w zakresie planowania polityki.
The Importance of Hong Kong in the Political and Economic Strategy of the Chinese Communist Authorities under Xi Jinping
Authors: Bielicki Paweł
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to present and analyse the importance of Hong Kong in the political and economic strategy of the communist authorities in China under Xi Jinping. I am going to try to answer the question of whether China’s policy towards the Special Autonomous District has changed after the President of China came to power. I have decided to present this topic as a result of the discussions in the discourse on the future of Hong Kong in the era of Chinese expansionist policy. In the text, I analysed the main determinants of the relationship of both entities and the increasingly frequent attempts to undermine the autonomy that Hong Kong has enjoyed for over 20 years. During Xi Jinping’s rule, the new secretary general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, aims to accelerate the process of unifying this area with mainland China, recognizing it as the first stage in gaining China’s position as a global superpower. The main thesis of the article assumes that from the beginning of Xi’s rule in power, the Chinese communists recognized Hong Kong as one of the most important problems in Beijing’s political strategy. Therefore, they took specific steps to strengthen control over the province. The authorities in Beijing believe that only strict control over the Hong Kong people will enable a strong influence for China in international events, strengthening its position in the time of a possible confrontation with the United States. The main research paradigm used in the text is the system analysis method.

Published: December 2021

Smartphones offer a vast range of possibilities, keep people actively involved in building relationships with others. These devices have changed the way we consume various kinds of content, spend our free time, use the Internet, shop, or watch movies. Thanks to smartphones, new ways of communication and building relationships have emerged. They were supposed to serve mainly as facilitating communication but with time they started to create the surrounding reality. While the smartphone offers great opportunities to innovate, learn and stimulate creativity, there is evidence of negative consequences for the mental health of users.

The article addresses the problem of problematic mobile phone use by young people. The danger of becoming dependent on a mobile phone was pointed out and the specificity of phonoholism as a new form of behavioral addiction was presented. First, the symptoms of excessive smartphone use will be presented along with dimensions and the reasons why people use them so often. Then, issues related to problematic mobile phone use will be presented, such as prevalence, questionnaire methods and consequences. Finally, the author discusses the risk factors of excessive use of smartphones.
Oczekiwania młodzieży względem lekcji religii w szkole średniej – raport z badań
Authors: Zubrzycka-Maciąg Teresa
Published: December 2021

Udział w lekcjach religii powinien pomagać młodym ludziom w rozwijaniu duchowej sfery osobowości, w odnalezieniu własnej drogi do Boga oraz zrozumieniu celu i sensu życia. Zważywszy, że duchowość jest istotnym czynnikiem chroniącym w profilaktyce uzależnień i zachowań ryzykownych młodzieży, bardzo niepokojący jest, odnotowywany w ostatnich latach, spadek frekwencji uczniów szkół średnich na katechezie. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie oczekiwań młodzieży względem katechezy w zakresie programu nauczania, kompetencji merytorycznych katechetów i stosowanych na lekcjach religii metod pracy. W wyniku badań sondażowych, przeprowadzonych w grupie 70 absolwentów szkół średnich, ustalono, że młodzi ludzie są bardzo zainteresowani religią i rozwojem duchowym, mają w tym zakresie wiele oczekiwań, ale również wiele pytań i wątpliwości. Oczekują więc od katechetów rzetelnej wiedzy i otwartości na dyskusję, czego niestety często brakuje im na lekcjach religii.
ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ СТАТИСТИЧНИХ ПРИЙОМІВ У ПРАКТИЦІ ПОБУДОВИ ШКАЛИ ЙМОВІРНОСТІ ДЕФОЛТУ
Authors: Павлюк Є. , Павлюк О.
Published: December 2021

Анотація. Обґрунтовано основні характерні властивості кривої PD (Probabilityofdefault), що сформувалися у практиці моделювання. Доведено, що основними характеристиками кривої PD є те, що вона ґрунтуватися на даних про фактичну відносну частоту дефолтів у кожному з ризик-класів за обраний період часу і має форму, що апроксимує або збігається з експонеційнійною функцією. Показано, що важливим аспектом, який впливає на калібрування, є кількість рейтингових класів і способи їх побудови. Визначено, що нахил кривої демонструє класифікаційну ефективність моделі. Для моделей із високими дискримінаторними властивостями характерна форма кривої, що має повільне зростання в рейтингових класах верхньої частини шкали і значне пришвидшення зростання в останніх класах ризику. Проаналізовано два основних підходи до визначення кількості класів ризику: підхід на основі процентіліві підхід на основі рівних діапазонів балів. Показано, що при формуванні класів варто враховувати загальний обсяг вибіркових спостережень, пропорцію «хороших» і «поганих» та обирати кількість класів таким чином, щоб воно було не надто велике і не надто мале. Доведено, що на практики калібрування впливають дані, мета та обмеження дослідження. На практичних прикладах розглянуто застосування методу найменших квадратів і методу екстраполяції. Метод найменших квадратів, і зокрема похідний метод екстраполяції, дозволяють будувати калібраційну криву на основі даних про відносну частоту дефолтів.  Визначено, що математичний апарат сімейства нелінійних кривих дозволяє моделювати процес експоненційного зростання з різним рівнем інтенсивності. Експоненційна крива і споріднені з нею функції можуть бути корисними при моделюванні більш консервативних оцінок PD або для моделей з високими дискримінаційними властивостями, у той час як функція Вейбулла, S-крива і степенева функція можуть краще пристосовуватися до процесів помірного зростання. Застосування практичних прийомів побудови шкали PD є важливим для багатьох вітчизняних банківських спеціалістів, хто займається внутрішніми моделями кредитного ризику.
Ключові слова:калібрування, дефолт, імовірність, криві, калібрація кривої ймовірності дефолту, метод найменших квадратів, метод екстраполяції.

Published: December 2021

Анотація. Проаналізовано історичний процес і фактори, які сприяли становленню та розвиткові принципу превалювання сутності над формою у світовій і вітчизняній практиці ведення бухгалтерського обліку, його впливу на ведення бізнесу як в окремих країнах, так і в міжнародному бізнесі. Організація і ведення бухгалтерського обліку базується на сукупності принципів бухгалтерського обліку, які повинні забезпечити якісний облік фактів господарської діяльності і як наслідок перетворення цієї інформації у фінансову звітність, яка служить джерелом інформації для ухвалення управлінських рішень різними категоріями користувачів фінансової та економічної інформації, у тому числі суб’єктами міжнародного бізнесу. Одним із таких принципів виступає принцип превалювання сутності над формою. Досліджено філософську основу формулювання і застосування принципу превалювання сутності над формою. Доведено, що у формулюванні принципу превалювання сутності над формою здійснено поєднання несумісних в діалектичному плані понять. А саме сукупність внутрішніх, стійких і визначальних зв’язків, що відображають основні риси й тенденції розвитку об’єктів і процесів, у цьому разі бухгалтерського обліку і фінансової звітності в господарських операціях превалює над способом існування та вираження змісту, організації та структури бухгалтерського обліку та фінансової звітності. Таке поєднання діалектично несумісних категорій може призводити до різних інтерпретацій сутності бухгалтерських записів і як наслідок змісту фінансової звітності. Розглянуто випадки застосування і використання принципу превалювання сутності над формою як у нормативних документах, так і у практиці бухгалтерського обліку. Проаналізовано основні переваги і недоліки застосування принципу превалювання сутності над формою в теорії і практиці бухгалтерського обліку під час ведення фінансово-господарської діяльності та міжнародного бізнесу. Дослідження показали, що застосування принципу превалювання сутності над формою підвищує суб’єктивізм в обліку і багато в чому визначається кваліфікацією бухгалтера, який приймає професійне судження і його морально-етичними якостями. Виявлено основні причини виникнення конфліктних ситуацій у разі застосування принципу превалювання сутності над формою та запропоновано шляхи подолання наявних протиріч, які виникають у процесі відображення фактів господарської діяльності в бухгалтерському обліку між їхніми юридичним (документальним) оформленням та економічним змістом.

COGNITIVE MODELING OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC PROVISION OF QUALITY ACTIVATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Ostapenko V. , Tyshchenko V. , Rats O. , Omelchenko O.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The article develops and substantiates the need to determine the causal links between concepts that contribute to the quality of higher education. The lack of motivation for radical reform of higher education is still hampered by attempts to use the successful international experience of the process of building a full-fledged system of quality assurance in the provision of educational services. The aim of the article is to develop a model for identifying causal links between the concepts of financial and economic support, which contribute to improving the quality of higher education. A system of concepts of the internal state and macro-environment of financial security has been formed, which has a positive or negative impact on the intensification of higher education. A fuzzy cognitive map of the impact of financial and economic support on improving the quality of higher education has been built. Scales and criteria for providing a qualitative assessment of the impact of the concepts of financial and economic support for the intensification of higher education in accordance with the introduced linguistic sets are calculated on the basis of the trapezoidal number method. The concepts of internal state and macroenvironment for activation of higher education are defined. The negative impact on the level of public spending on education and opportunities for access to ICT, which constrains the prospects for development and realization of the potential of participants in the higher education process, has been proved. The negative impact on the quality of higher education on the migration of students to study abroad has been identified, as access to higher education is almost unlimited due to significant government procurement and relatively low cost of contract education, and the return on higher education is relatively low. According to the simulation results, in order to intensify higher education, it is necessary to focus on the quality of teachers, provide opportunities for development, competence development, obtaining a higher level of qualification, which includes postgraduate and doctoral studies and academic degrees. Currently, an important priority of the European innovation system is the formation of the European Research Area. That is why there is a need to find effective mechanisms to influence the quality of research and innovation, which is represented by the number of publications / patents / CAT, investment and innovation projects, grants. Support for these concepts will provide an opportunity to unleash scientific and innovative potential, have a high social status in society and will improve the quality of educational services provided.
Keywords: higher education, cognitive modeling, financial and economic support, consonance and dissonance, influence on the system, concepts of internal state, concepts of macroenvironment.

Authors: Voskolupov V. , Balanovska T. , Havrysh O. , Gogulya O. , Drahnieva N.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The article studies the state and trends of agricultural development in Ukraine. Agriculture today is one of the leading sectors of the Ukrainian economy, as well as that agricultural products are the main ones regarding its foreign trade. At the same time, there are a number of problems that hinder the effective development of agriculture, ranging from outdated material and technical base at enterprises to a significant share of imported agricultural products, that are present on the market, and the prices of which are lower than of the Ukrainian products. The findings of the article prove that in 2019, compared to other years, the share of unprofitable agricultural enterprises increased. In addition, there was a decrease in the level of profitability for all types of agricultural products. It is noted that practical implementation of effective management tools allows enterprises to reduce the size of possible losses and the likelihood of emerging crisis situations, to improve the adaptability of enterprises and to strengthen their competitive positions in the market.  The study identifies that the activity of agricultural enterprises is complicated by competition, which requires the production of products that are in demand. In order to prevent crisis, enterprises should use marketing management that involves managing all general and individual functions of the enterprise, as well as all its units on the basis of marketing. In addition, marketing management involves the orientation of the entire management system of the enterprise to pleasure the needs of consumers. It is established that commercial efficiency and social impact will be achieved as a result of effective use of marketing management in the activities of agricultural enterprises. The list of procedures, with the help of which marketing management at the enterprise can be formed, is investigated. The guidelines for marketing management at agricultural enterprise have been developed, which together will help meet the needs of consumers, gain new competitive advantages, and, as a consequence, increase the profitability and competitiveness of the enterprise.  JEL Classification Q12, M10, M21,
ENHANCING HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCIES OF THE HEALTHCARE LEADERS
Authors: Kryzhanivska A. , Zapukhliak І. , Romashko O. , Onysenko T. , Kravchenko Т.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The study aims at diagnosing the managerial competencies of the medical managers as well as practical tools for their development in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions. The authors suggest a methodical approach to form a profile of the managerial competencies of the heads of medical facilities, which is based on the use of the method of expert evaluations and provides for the three stages: preparatory (within which the scientific and methodological basis for analysis is formed), evaluatory (which involves diagnosis of the managerial competencies of the medical managers in the context of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic), and recommendatory (which provides practical tools for the development of the medical institution head’s competencies in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions). To form the basis of the study a questionnaire was created, which lists managerial competencies in terms of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic. The survey was conducted among the heads of medical institutions, their departments and the chief nurses of the healthcare institutions in Precarpathia. The article substantiates that nowadays it is not enough for a medical institution manager to have only a high level of knowledge on medicines, but also be aware of the elements of financial management, strategic planning and marketing, risk and conflict management, high-rate readiness for change and teamwork. The study of managerial competencies of the supervising physicians allowed to create profiles of the managerial competencies of the actual and future medical managers, to offer practical tools for their managerial competencies development, taking account of the need to work in crisis and under unpredictable conditions.
Keywords: medical care, heads of medical institutions, managerial competencies, instability.

BASIC INSTITUTIONS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL- AND EASTERN-EUROPEAN POST-COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
Authors: Vatamaniuk O. , Ostroverkh P. , Salovskyi O.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Contrasting outcomes of economic reforms conducted by the post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe over the last thirty years seem to be directly associated with the peculiarities of their formal and informal institutions. The rapid pace and flexible adjustment of institutional changes, along with mindful heed towards existing institutional frameworks, have become the key to the success of more than a dozen of countries, which eventually and ultimately joined the European Union. In order to analyze the impact of institutions’ quality on economic development in post-socialist countries, the authors substantiate the approach, which outlines five basic groups of institutions: property, power, competition, innovations, and values. A number of indicators collected or calculated by international organizations such as the World Bank, Transparency International, The Heritage Foundation, among others, have been used to describe and quantify the impact of these institutions. In addition, they have been applied to construct and calculate composite indices for each of the five basic groups of institutions, as well as to generalize an integrated institutional index. The authors have chosen the World Bank data on gross domestic products per capita to illustrate the level of economic development of the studied countries. Subsequently, a list of simple linear and multiple regression models has been created, which facilitated identifying a statistically significant impact of an ample number of selected institutions on the level of well-being in post-socialist countries. In particular, the influence of power, innovation, and competition institutions is especially noticeable, also confirmed for the composite indices for these groups of institutions. Furthermore, in multiple regression models, a combination of one of the indicators of power or the corresponding composite index with the R&D expenditures’ share indicator and the Human development index seems a common pattern. In overall, different versions of the models built contain parameters that attribute to four of the five basic institutions. The absence of property-related indicators in these models could probably be explained via the nature of chosen indices and possibilities of the significant indirect impact of property institutions through the indicators of power institutions.
Keywords: institutions, economic development, Central and Eastern European countries, institutional changes, basic institutions, regression analysis.

Turismo étnico-afro: uma possível alternativa para empreendedorismo e empoderamento negro no Brasil
Authors: Farias João Paulo Bloch de , Pimentel Juliana Maria Vaz , Santos Letícia Cassiano
Published: December 2021

Este primeiro ensaio versa sobre o preconceito racial enfrentado pela população negra no Brasil e o turismo étnico-afro como um segmento do turismo cultural capaz de empoderar os empreendedores negros. O objetivo do presente estudo tenciona elucidar o legado cultural dos negros no Brasil e contribuir para a desconstrução da imagem do negro atrelada à escravidão, visando assim, demonstrar que o turismo étnico-afro-mediante a comercialização de roteiros étnico-afros-, além de valorizar a cultura negra, propicia a abertura de postos de trabalho voltados ao empreendedor negro. Para o transcorrer da pesquisa, pautamonos na metodologia qualitativa de caráter exploratório como maneira de compreendermos a forma como o turismo étnico-afro propicia o resgate da memória dos negros e transforma em um atrativo que valoriza a cultura negra. Mediante dados estatísticos e referenciais teóricos que abordam a temática em tela, podemos concluir que o turismo étnico-afro também atua, mesmo que de forma indireta, em questões que envolvem aspectos políticos, sociais, econômicos e culturais dos negros, transformando-se, assim, em uma atividade capaz de empoderar o empreendedor negro e valorizar a cultura negra e afrodescendente.

In the established practice of geological exploration for oil and gas conclusions about the facies belonging of the rocks of oil and gas basins and individual exploration areas were made mainly on the basis of the study of core material. Recently for this purpose the results of seismic exploration and well logging have been used. Geophysical methods despite their obvious progress are indirect and intermittent core sampling and incomplete coring make facies analysis difficult. Тhe study of cuttings during the well logging process makes it possible to fill this gap through direct continuous observations along the well section. The use of the whole complex of geophysical methods allows one to mutually compensate for the limitations and disadvantages of each of them and more fully and reliably assess the genetic characteristics and reservoir potential of productive deposits. Sequential accumulation, comparison and analysis of heterogeneous geophysical data make it possible to continuously refine apriori facies models and forecast oil and gas content which ultimately allows to optimize the directions and volumes of drilling.
