Felszín alatti beáramlás hatása a Tisza vízminőségére a Közép-Tisza vidékén
Authors: Vízi Dávid Béla
Published: February 2021

A Tisza Magyarország egyik legjelentősebb folyójának tekinthető. Az elmúlt évtizedek során a rendkívüli árhullámok mellett a vízhiányos időszakok is egyre nagyobb kihívások elé állítják a vízügyi szakmát. A klímaváltozás ezt a folyamatot egyre inkább erősíteni fogja. A rendkívüli árhullámok, illetve aszályos időszakok valószínűsége növekvő tendenciát mutat. A folyó Szolnok térségének ivóvízellátását is biztosítja, ami alacsony mederteltség esetében veszélybe kerülhet. A folyó apadása során, amikor magasabban van a talajvíz szintje a Tiszához viszonyítva, érvényesül a folyó leszívó, megcsapoló hatása. A talajvízből ebben az esetben esély van különböző szennyezőanyagok folyóba áramlására. Jelen írás célja, hogy bemutassa, a Tisza folyó tartósan alacsony mederteltsége esetén a felszín alatti beáramló vizek milyen mértékben jelenthetnek veszélyforrást a folyó vízminőségére. Bemutatom a mintavételezési eljárásokat, illetve a vizsgálati eredményeket is.

Authors: Horváth Lajos
Published: February 2021

In recent decades, a significant number of extreme-level flood waves have occurred in Hungary. In order to prevent and reduce flood damage, several intervention works have been carried out by organisations involved in flood protection. During these works the protective materials (sand, sacks, planks, stakes, and so on), human labor, heavy machinery and other equipment were transported along the flood protection dikes many times. These approaching routes have different pavements, bearing capacity and ownership, which make their use difficult. In this article, the author presents the typical features of these routes, the characteristics of their usage and its technical consequences, and also the reconstruction tasks needed following the flood protection works. The author made cost and price analysis for the reconstruction of different types of approaching routes and dike crown roads based on data collected from the operation area of the Middle-Tisza District Water Directorate (KÖTIVIZIG).

Authors: M R Lokesh , Ahmed M N Suhail , Khan Saifulla
Published: February 2021

This paper provides a detailed overview of the block chain technology and how it can be used to build a foolproof system in eliminating counterfeit products in pharmaceutical industries. From the last decade, pharmaceutical companies are facing difficulties in tracking their products during the supply chain process, allowing the counterfeiters to add their fake medicines into the market. Counterfeit drugs are analysed as a very big challenge for the pharmaceutical industry worldwide. As indicated by the statistics, yearly business loss of around $200 billion is reported by US pharmaceutical companies due to these counterfeit drugs. These drugs may not help the patients to recover the disease but have many other dangerous side effects. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) survey report, in under-developed countries every 10th drug use by the consumers is counterfeit and has low quality. Hence, a system that can trace and track drug delivery at every phase is needed to solve the counterfeiting problem. The block chain has the full potential to handle and track the supply chain process very efficiently. In this paper, we have proposed and implemented a block chain based drug supply chain management. Our proposed system block chain-based drug supply chain management for consumers. In this drug supply chain management the system is deployed using Hyper ledger fabrics which is capable of continuously monitor and track the drug delivery process in the smart pharmaceutical industry. Finally, we also perform several tests to check the efficiency and usability of our proposed system.
Data Protection for Files and Logs in Fog Cloud Storage Using 3DES
Authors: Vali D. Vannur
Published: February 2021

Nowadays cloud computing is being used extensively in daily life. With these new computing and communication technologies, new data security challenges arise. Privacy, integrity, and availability are the primary goals of the security structure. Many authentication schemes have been introduced over the years to ensure better security and to provide a wider range of services with a faster perspective. Each type of data is stored in the cloud and can be easily accessed anytime, anywhere. But, it lags due to location awareness when it comes to privacy in cloud computing. Improved cloud computing uses a fog-centric secure plan to ensure logs and information against unapproved access, change, and extinction. To obstruct unauthorized entry, the current scheme uses a technology called Xor-Combination to hide data. Besides, Xor-Combination results in preventing malicious recovery and ensuring better recovery capacity in case of data loss and Intermediate Fog does not provide server security. Cloud server and log files have been proposed and improved to provide higher security and intermediate security differently compared to the existing system for storing data on the fog server. Log files also contain personal information with equally critical protection and confidentiality of log data as an alternative scheme for storing logs in a cloud environment. Our proposed security to protect log files and data files on the main server on the Intermediate Fog server. We use an enhanced 3DES security method that provides better security than the Xor-combination technique.

Published: February 2021

The peculiarity of the current development stage of the world economy is manifested in the growing level of internationalization in research and innovation, as well as in deepening international scientific and technological cooperation and exchange. This is especially true for Europe, where a holistic innovation system (IS) of the European Union (EU) has been formed. The integration in the EU IS is of strategic importance for Ukraine and requires appropriate scientific, practical and conceptual foundations. The article aims at presenting the strategic principles of Ukraine's integration into the EU innovation system. The peculiarities of the EU IS formation, its boundaries and main elements (participants; organizations supporting innovation; trans-European "chains" of knowledge generation and transformation, etc.) are considered. The necessity to choose the convergent vector of development for Ukraine’s national innovation system and the relevant advantages of this direction while reforming the R&D sector, supporting research and innovation are substantiated. The conceptual basis for including Ukraine’s science and technology complex in the EU IS is spelled out. It is determined that the main point here is the development of cooperation in science and technology between Ukraine and the EU in such a way that a number of principles are observed (taking into account the uniqueness of the EU IS, its advantages and disadvantages; the use of the European paradigm to support innovation, etc.). The preconditions for integration into the EU IS are identified, in particular, ensuring high-level protection of rights and intellectual property. It is also important to develop a mechanism for deepening international cooperation in science and technology between Ukraine and the EU, which should implement special measures of state support. The principle of cumulation, as well as differentiated approach, should become the grounds for stimulating cooperation. The necessity for Ukraine to participate in the EU programs is proven, and general preconditions for it are substantiated. The process of strengthening scientific and technological ties should be based on new information platforms. To stimulate international partnership, it is also advisable to create various infrastructure organizations (technology transfer centers, project expertise, training and research centers).

Published: February 2021

The paper deals with the study of the relationship between agricultural development of and agricultural engineering. Production output of certain types of machines and equipment for agriculture are examined. The dynamics of production performance in plant growing and stockbreeding is analyzed. The dynamics of such agricultural development indices as net income, subsidies, taxes, net value added, fixed capital application, etc. are considered. The tripling of output and a steady growth of net profit of agricultural producers are established. It is proven that farm equipment upgrading is less active than net income growth, and thus it was determined that enterprises have the necessary financial resources to generate demand for agricultural machinery. The peculiarities of agricultural machinery production in Ukraine at the present stage are revealed, in particular the causes and consequences of such a situation in production machinery for agricultural enterprises. Two opposite trends in agricultural machinery production are identified, namely, the decline in the production of complex, expensive machinery and the increase in the production of less costly appliances. The condition of the durable equipment in agriculture is analyzed by identifying their value and the degree of wear. Consequences of the increase in the quantity and quality of used machinery in agriculture are revealed. The requirements of agricultural enterprises for the quality of agricultural machinery are identified, and their classification by the requirements for quality, value and service is worked out. The quality requirements include technical and functional characteristics; value requirements consist of equipment prices, discounts, and value-added services. Service requirements comprise quality assurance of information, organizational and maintenance services. In accordance with the established requirements, technical, organizational, economic and social ways to meet these requirements were developed.
Scientific and Methodological Aspects of Assessing the Sustainable Development of Machine-Building Enterprises as a Tool for Adjusting Management Activity in a Strategic Perspective
Authors:   Ukrainian Engineering and Pedagogical Academy, Sekirozh Y. V.
Published: February 2021

Machine-building enterprises have been proven to play the main role in ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine’s machine-building industry, as the latter is the main component of Ukraine’s economic complex. The state and prospects of the further development of machine-building enterprises is an important research area dealing with the current transformation processes in Ukraine, as implementing innovations at machine-building enterprises is problematic due to the difficult financial and economic situation in the country. It is concluded that the scientific and methodological approach to assessing the sustainable development of machine-building enterprises covers the full range of the constantly changing financial and economic information, and takes into account all the possibilities for enterprise development, as the current situation, being characterized by rapid economic changes at machine-building enterprises, requires new methodological approaches to its studying. The suggested scientific and methodological approach should become that very tool in the strategic management system of an enterprise, which would take into account the existing objectives and, relying on the analysis of financial and economic situation and statistics data on the sustainable development of the enterprise, would allow timely adjustment of the entire management activity, as the main purpose of the approach is to identify, at the earliest possible time, the difference between the actual results of the sustainable development of enterprises and the forecasted ones; to identify the reasons that caused this difference; to suggest actions to properly adjust particular areas of financial and economic activity in order to normalize them and enhance the general enterprise development.
Production Potential of a Gas Producing Complex: Concept, Structure, Factors of Its Formation and Usage
Authors:   Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas, Andriishyn N. M.
Published: February 2021

The economic essence of the category "production potential of the gas producing complex" is substantiated from the standpoint of the systemic approach and a set of factors determining the ability of a gas producing complex (GPC) to perform its functions. Methodical approaches to the interpretation of the essence and structure of production potential are determined, taking into account the peculiarities of gas production. It is noted that the study of production capacity should begin with its production functions, which are provided by the resource potential of a company. The relationship between production factors and production resources lies in the fact that only resources that can be used in production are considered factors of production. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the success of the gas producing complex today is not only determined by the size of hydrocarbon deposits and the availability of modern technologies or production equipment, but mainly by available intellectual capital, which includes leading technicians, gas producing management and programmers together with the software developed by them. It has been proven that a company’s ability to effectively use intellectual capital is a sustainable competitive advantage in ensuring future balanced development, as intellectual capital is based on the accumulation and use of knowledge, ideas and information that are specific to a particular company. The effect of their usage is the result of practical implementation of this knowledge, transfer of experience to young employees of the company, and interaction with partners and contractors. Nowadays, intellectual capital affects the investment attractiveness and competitiveness of the GPC to a greater extent than tangible assets and financial capital. Therefore, the production potential of a gas producing complex cannot be confined to its production capacity (tangible equity). It is concluded that, based on the fact that the GPC is a system of enterprises and organizations with different functions, its production potential should be considered systematically, comprehensively assessing the quantity and quality of resources that create opportunities for all its structural units to perform their functions in accordance with strategic development tasks.
The Method of Public Finance Theory and Its Alternatives
Authors:   Podilsk Special Educational and Rehabilitation Socio-Economic College, Derlytsia A. Y.
Published: February 2021

The method of the public finance theory is understood as a set of the following components: initial positions and worldviews; specific research methods; and the ways to verify the results. The initial assumptions and worldviews of the Western public finance theory, modern Ukrainian public finance theory and its Soviet predecessor are compared. The difference of approaches within these theories concerning worldview is revealed, namely: their conceptual and philosophical basis (materialism / idealism); traditions of using the historical method; the role of the base and superstructure in financial science; focus on value / utility in studies dealing with the nature of fiscal phenomena; differences in interpreting the basic unit of analysis (individual, group, or class); the organic / mechanistic concepts of state used; explanation of the nature of the interaction between the basic units of analysis; attitude to the positive / normative approach. The methodological orientation of the Western financial thought on methodological individualism; that of the Soviet state finance theory on methodological holism, and the lack of precision in these issues of Ukraine’s modern financial science are mentioned. The author refers to the negative trend in assessing fiscal phenomena in Ukraine from the standpoint of state-centrism and the interests and needs of the state, which arises precisely on the basis of the holistic methodological attitudes and the predominance of the organic view of the state. It is shown that modern domestic financial science is still in transition. Due to its worldview, it is a theory of state finance (financial resources of the state), while the Western science is a theory of public finance (public funds, belonging to the society as a whole). The paper outlines the guidelines for further transforming the methodological foundations of financial science in Ukraine.

The article aims at studying the banks’ value and managing it during consolidation in order to identify the relationship between the consolidation form and the growth of the bank’s value. The main consolidation forms are systematized and generalized taking into account global and domestic experience, which include the following: mergers, takeover, partial takeover, acquisition of assets, acquisition of specific assets, acquisition of fixed assets, acquisition of residual share, repurchase, recapitalization, exchange. It is noted that the choice of the banks’ consolidation form is determined primarily by the purpose of realizing the business interests of the parties to the agreement. The statistics of the scales of global M&A agreements by consolidation forms is given. 26901 bank consolidation agreements in various forms for the period from 01.01.1965 to 30.04.2019 in 146 countries have been analyzed. It is noted that the dynamics of M&A transactions in the banking business reached peak values in the period from the early 2000s to the end of 2010. It was during this crisis period (the crisis in the IT industry and the global financial crisis of 2007–2008) that 50 % of all consolidation agreements tool place. The country with the largest number of transactions is the United States, and the region dominating the sphere by the total volume of transactions is Western Asia. It is noted that each consolidation form is characterized by a specific set of factors that affect it. As a result, it is these factors that, as a result of the existing cause-and-effect relationships, shape the resulting bank’s value. Research has shown that there is a link between the forms of consolidation processes and the value influencing factors, and this link should be identified to better understand the banks’ value formation before concluding M&A agreements. It is proposed to expand the existing list of factors in research works in Economics, taking into account the business component of consolidation processes.

The article purpose aims at studying the results of and prospects for further implementing the European participatory model of local security management of territorial communities amidst the local government reform in Ukraine. The research results show that it is worth implementing the European participatory model of governing united territorial communities as a means of forming their local security, activating and accumulating their adaptability. The author of the article understands the local security of territorial communities term as a state guaranteeing protection to the population’s vital interests, resistance to internal and external threats, ability to operate sustainably and progressively. Under the conditions of decentralization, the key factor for its formation is the community’s endogenous potential, which proves the feasibility of using the participatory approach as a tool for activating and accumulating adaptability. Some participatory management tools are already being used successfully at the local level and have confirmed their effectiveness. The analysis of the unite territorial communities (UTCs) in the Zhytomyr region made by the amount of income of the joint purse per 1 inhabitant in 2019 allowed to single out 3 groups of UTCs according to their income. Arguments have been suggested that further active application of the European participation experience (online questionnaires and discussions of initiatives, implementation of comprehensive programs to cover the activities of communities, etc.) will help increase the local security of communities. The scientific results received serve as the methodological basis for substantiating the proposals to increase the UTCs’ local security by intensifying the implementation of the European experience in participatory management.

The purpose of the article is to develop conceptual foundations for the formation of a state mechanism to stimulate the development of environmentally sensitive agribusiness in Ukraine. It is emphasized that organic production in other countries receives significant state support. In addition, farmers view growing organic products as a factor that reduces risks and stabilizes prices for end products. Still, every country has its own specific features of providing state support. In some regions of France, subsidies can be obtained to cover the costs for certification and inspection, whose volume also varies from region to region. In addition to subsidies, producers of organic agricultural products can also apply for a tax credit. France has a method that compensates for the farmers’ losses from their transition to organic production, both in terms of individual costs and the profit margin. In the United States, the Agricultural Services Agency (FSA) funds the conversion of a farm to organic production and reimburses all the expenses associated with that production. Specific examples of state support for organic production in China, Thailand, Sri Lanka are given. In Ukraine, state support for environmentally friendly production is suggested to be grounded on three key blocks. Firstly, it should expand the demand and thus support consumers. Secondly, the state should design a support mechanism for producers. Thirdly, a separate set of issues should include strategic measures to shape the image of organic products in the market. For each set, specific measures have been identified that can be implemented by the government. It is suggested to divide ecologically oriented products into two groups: green products, which are produced without using chemicals; and certified organic products. The necessity to develop green tourism in Ukraine is also emphasized.

The relevance of the article is confirmed by the need to develop scientific and methodological support for determining the development goals system in a region.It is one of the priorities for both the scientific community and public authorities. In particular, scientific basis, which coulddesign the development goals system in a region, requires further development and improvement. It should be based onboth the traditional and non-traditional methods of system analysis. The purpose of the article is to suggest recommendations for improving the scientific and methodological support for determining the development goals system in a region through using specific tools of fuzzy cognitive modeling. It has been proved that comprehensive assessment of regional socio-economic systems is impossible without the application of systemic approach, which allows interconnecting a large number of processes occurring in the economic, social and environmental systems in a region. Such researchis successfully carried outusing a cognitive approach to study complex systems of different nature. The authors of the article have considered peculiarities of drawing fuzzy cognitive maps, the latter being used as a tool for displaying real dynamic systems in a form that corresponds to human perception of such processes. A logical patternfor carrying out structural analysis of the socio-economic development of the region has been suggested.The patterncomprises five interrelated stages and includes constructing a fuzzy cognitive model of socio-economic development in the Ukrainian regions.The systemic indicators of fuzzy cognitive models of socio-economic development in the Ukrainian regions have beensuggested, and the analysis of their influence on the development of in the Ukrainian regions has been carried out.

The strategic development of most large enterprises, as well as successful productions of medium and small businesses is focused on expanding sell markets beyond the national economy. The logic of the research as formed by the authors is based on a combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, which provide an opportunity to identify trends in the implementation of export strategies, allocate clusters of markets on price grounds, and assess the consequences of the implementation of export strategies of Ukrainian companies. The competitive environment of global markets is changing in space and time. It is substantiated that the development of marketing export strategies of companies should be based on the analysis of industry markets taking into account the main competitors – both countries and companies. The method of calculating the country’s participation coefficients in the world market of imported goods on an industry basis is applied. The absolute and relative indicators are analyzed, which in combination give a holistic picture of the current state of implementation of Ukraine’s export potential, as well as the initial data for further actions towards improving the efficiency of the process of internationalization of business. The overall efficiency of the company’s development, in particular the quality of functioning of all systems involved in exports, depends largely on the quality of management, which determines the need to implement certain measures of the organizational and economic support in the sphere of staff, finance, production, and sales at the enterprise. The problems that substantially affect the competitiveness of Ukrainian exports are outlined. At the same time, a significant backlog of global trends in the exports of high-tech goods and services, leading to low profitability of export activity in general, is identified. The analysis of structural shifts in the export activity of Ukrainian enterprises is carried out, the types of price strategies in the practice of promotion to new markets are identified. The practice of conduct of export activity shows that companies use different export marketing strategies both in the developed and in the developing countries. The obtained results of the research should be used by representatives of Ukrainian business for analysis, elimination of shortcomings and disparities, as well as development of new business models of export activity. Recommendations for improving export strategies in the conditions of digitalization of markets are formed. Prospect for future research is to find possible ways to increase the technological efficiency of Ukrainian exports and, consequently, increase the competitiveness of the national economy.

The authors propose to consider the strategic decision as a result of collective choice as to means and actions that meet the principles of corporate management and the interests of the main groups – participants of corporate relations to achieve strategic goals. From such positions, the types of strategic decisions are grouped according to the following signs: purposefulness and content of the issues to make up decisions; organizational model of decision-making; completeness of knowledge and ways of their application by decision-makers. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the state and prospects of enterprise development are presented in order to study the peculiarities of strategic decision-making at the enterprises of the machine-building industry according to their allocated signs. The technology of comprehensive analysis of the strategic decisions of enterprises consists of stages and an evaluation-analytical instrumentarium – indicators and criteria, methods of evaluation, analysis and interpretation of results. The built up system of indicators corresponds to the functional spheres of the enterprise according to the criteria of financial-economic stability, production efficiency, effectiveness of marketing activities and efficiency of use of staff. The defined criteria and indicators act as rational basis for the development, comparison and choice of alternatives to development, substantiation of strategic decisions of enterprise. As a result of the carried out cluster analysis according to the computed generalized performance indicators of 18 machine-building enterprises of Kharkiv region, clusters of enterprises, development strategies and identical strategic solutions for each cluster of enterprises are allocated as follows: technical and technological development (product renewal, expansion of sale markets and search for new ones, restructuring of production capacities) and ensuring the sustainability of the financial-economic condition (through consolidation and movement of capital, saving, costs reduction, search for additional sources of income, recovery of assets).

It is noted that modern economic entities do operate under the conditions of constant impact of crisis factors. Most entrepreneurs suffer the most significant damage as a result of global financial and economic crises, political instability and a new challenge of the present – the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the key aspects of anti-crisis management, the leading place is held by the most adequate instruments for overcoming the consequences of the crisis.

The «tree of goals» of the anti-crisis financial strategy is built up as a fundamental element in its development. It is specified that in order to build up an efficient anti-crisis financial strategy, first of all, a comprehensive assessment of the valid financial condition of the corresponding entity is required and the most used indicators of such an assessment are proposed in four directions – assessment of financial stability, liquidity, business activity, and profitability.
