The Relationship between Dimensions of Collective Action, Introversion/ Extroversion, and Collective Action Endorsement among Women
Authors: Tassone Adrianna , Foster Mindi D.
Published: May 2021

Given the psychosocial benefits of collective action for minority group members, we explored how the personality trait introversion/extroversion may contribute to current understandings of what motivates collective action among women. Dimensions of collective action that are consistent with introversion (e.g., low risk) were expected to predict greater endorsement of collective action among introverts, whereas dimensions consistent with extroversion (e.g., public) were expected to predict greater endorsement among extroverts. One hundred and seventy-nine women completed an online questionnaire, and regression analyses showed that among introverts, collective action rated lower in risk and social cost, but higher in effectiveness and formality predicted greater endorsement. Among extroverts, collective action rated as more public (vs. private) predicted greater endorsement. The implications of utilizing personality profiles to enhance collective action are discussed.
Some Psychological Implications of Black Struggle
Authors: Leach Colin Wayne , Teixeira Cátia P.
Published: May 2021

Yet another long, hot summer in 2020 brought to the broader consciousness—in the US and well beyond—what Black folks have known for centuries about the ways in which racial hegemony relies on the acute violence of a police knee on a prone neck and the chronic violence of prisons, prefects, and (public housing) projects (for discussions, see Bulhan 1985; Omi and Winant 2014; Sidanius and Pratto 1999). In their commentary, AK Thompson makes too many important points for us to address in this brief commentary. Thus, as research psychologists with a transdisciplinary social-behavioral approach to protest, resistance, and societal change, we focus on what we see as Thompson’s most psychologically oriented theses: II, III, V, and VI. In sum, we see Thompson as arguing that social movements necessarily include a (more or less latent) threat of violence (II) and that this violence is noticed and suppressed because it challenges (III) the logic (economic, political, and cultural), the ethics, and the formalization (legal, political, and institutional) of racial hegemony (V). In addition, we take Thompson to argue that Black freedom struggles are, and have always been, flexible in means and aims (VI), adjusting strategically to the multifaceted dynamics of oppression and resistance.
Introduction

Published: May 2021

This edition of European Comic Art begins by adopting a retrospective viewpoint and ends with a look to the future, not entirely rosy but not wholly bleak. Our first article offers a reassessment of the relationship between Hergé’s Tintin and conservative Catholic discourses of the 1930s. We then move on to a personal recollection of a landmark moment in the legitimisation of comics in France: the Cerisy conference of 1987. In our third article, two virtuoso comics autobiographers reflect (in an email discussion that took place in 2006, here translated into English for the first time) on the loss of the searching, edgy tonality of early comics life writing in favour of something more crowd-pleasing. Finally, a young Brighton-based comics artist shares her love of the medium and her experience of solidarity among her fellow artists but has a cooler appraisal of the current political scene and the health of the comics culture in the United Kingdom.
Interview with Hannah Berry
Authors: Miller Ann
Published: May 2021

In this interview, the Brighton-based comics artist Hannah Berry discuses her current role as Comics Laureate, which has included the commissioning of a survey into the conditions of work of comics artists in the United Kingdom and has demonstrated the financial hardship that most of them endure. She also talks about the importance of mentoring, organising work around childcare, and how she came to produce a weekly strip for the New Statesman. The interview then focuses on Berry’s three published graphic novels, touching on the influence of films, the tension between storytelling and play with the codes of the medium, the use of gutters and text as elements in a horror story, comics as a corrective to fake news, and the political research that underlies satire.

Published: May 2021

Osteoid osteoma is the most common benign bone forming tumor characterized by a nidus surrounded by reactive sclerotic bone typically associated with nocturnal pain and most common in males less than 30 years. Diagnosis may be difficult in cases of atypical presentation, intraarticular localizations or very small size. Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the promising treatment methods being used with an advantage of minimal invasion, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization. We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with osteoid osteoma of neck of femur managed successfully with radiofrequency ablation. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported on radiofrequency ablation in Nepal.

Published: May 2021

Gastric volvulus is defined as an abnormal rotation of the stomach. Classical textbook presentation may not always be present. Meticulous assessment and broadened differential diagnosis are thus crucial. Various types have been described in literature. Low threshold for detection with aggressive resuscitation and immediate surgical exploration on suspected incarceration or perforation are mandatory. We report a case of 16-years-female who had atypical presentation of mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Emergency exploratory laparotomy with wedge resection and primary repair of stomach with anterolateral gastropexy was performed. She had uneventful recovery with discharge on fifth postoperative day.
STATE REGULATION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES: RETROSPECTIVE AND MODERN CONTEXT
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, BOLIUBASH Ye.
Published: May 2021

The article presents a retrospective analysis of the state’s participation in the regulation of socio-economic processes. A wide range of opinions on state regulation of the development of socio-economic systems is presented. The views of economists on the regulation of socio-economic processes have evolved. Economic theories of substantiation of economic development and the role of the state in the regulation of socio-economic processes are considered: Keynesian, monetarist, institutional, theory of social choice, etc .. The views of modern scholars on the essence of state regulation are analyzed. It has been found that the authors reveal the essence of this concept differently and, as a result, each definition interprets the ultimate goal of state regulation differently. Scholars substantiate the need for state regulation for the realization of social interests of society; development of the social mode of production and improvement of the social development of the country; consider the goal of state regulation to stabilize and adapt the socio-economic system to changing conditions; define state regulation as a system of measures of different nature. State regulation is defined as a system of measures at different levels of public authorities in accordance with certain functions aimed at different spheres of life. It is noted that in the conditions of decentralization local self-government bodies have received more powers and more opportunities to solve problems of socio-economic development of territories. Therefore, the role of local governments, their decisions have a significant impact on the level of socio-economic development of territories.

Published: May 2021

The world is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. As the situation with COVID-19 continues to unfold, and governments are taking swift action and decisive action to combat this global pandemic, businesses need to constantly rethink their choices and priorities. It is rare to see the whole world come together to overcome a common problem. It’s global, it’s open, and it can affect every business and every person. During the crisis, people turn to institutions for advice, reassurance and information. Increasingly, they are also looking at trading companies. In today’s environment of high uncertainty, rapid environmental variability and tight budget constraints, all market participants are forced to look for non-standard solutions for effective promotion strategies. The priority measures of anti-crisis marketing activities are marketing communications. They play an important role in shaping consumer choices. This choice applies not only to the product or service, but also to the management of messages and goals. Given the role of information in modern retail, it is advisable to analyze the features and essence of modern tools of marketing communications, the impact of the global crisis on the field of marketing communications. The urgency of the study is caused by the high degree of uncertainty in the market situation due to the global pandemic around the world. The Ukrainian market, contrary to foreign countries, is not adapted to such conditions. The article identifies the feasibility of using marketing communication tools to ensure consumer awareness of retail businesses. The regional structure of retail trade turnover, the change of real income volume of the population, as well as the change in consumer prices in Ukraine are analyzed. The expediency of maximizing attention to the choice of tools for marketing communications policy is explained. The difficulties of traditional tools implementation in marketing communications during crisis are investigated. The necessity of redistribution of the marketing budget with receiving the maximum result is defined. In the future, the results of this study can be used in the theory of marketing communication policy of enterprises in order to develop measures to improve its effectiveness in times of crisis.
FORMATION OF EXPORT POTENTIAL OF AIRLINES
Authors:   Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic National University, TKACHENKO A.
Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to substantiation of approaches to the formation of export potential of airlines. The author argues that export operations are an important prerequisite for expanding markets, increasing production and improving product quality. This approach creates a favorable basis for strengthening the competitive position of the enterprise in the domestic market. The development of Ukraine’s export opportunities should become the basis of foreign economic activity and accelerator of economic growth. The export potential of airlines reflects the ability to continuously demonstrate and reproduce their competitive advantages in the global transportation market in accordance with constantly changing environmental conditions. Export potential is a complex polysystem. This polysystem has three components – domestic opportunities of the industry, export barriers and opportunities of foreign markets. Current globalization processes are intensifying the processes of transformation of national air transportation and formation of government policy measures to ensure Ukraine’s economic security. Many factors affect the formation of export opportunities. These factors are divided into external and internal. Export opportunities reflect the dominant “business entity – foreign market”. Therefore, the main criterion of the airline is the degree of satisfaction of foreign market requirements. Depending on this, the export opportunities of the business entity should be adjusted in accordance with the conditions of the foreign market. Improving the internal management procedures for the design of external activities should attract businesses to participate in it proactively. Thus, it will help strengthen the level of export opportunities of Ukraine. The approach to the formation of the mechanism for managing the development of export capabilities of airlines is determined by the properties of the control object. In the current conditions, the formation of export opportunities is a complex process. This process demonstrates the ability of outsiders to continuously identify and restore their competitive prerogatives.

There was done comparison of trends and dependency of quantity of business entities and indicators reflecting the nature of the regulatory impact on entrepreneurial activity and protection of property rights. The outstripping positive dynamics of Ukraine’s positions in the international rating of the World Bank Doing Business together with uneven and slow increase in the quantity of business entities related to economic activities with great development potential are identified. It is noted that the creation of a favourable regulatory system is a basic, but not an exclusive factor of economic development in a globalized and innovative economy. Companies striving for success should abandon industrial management models and need to search for solutions focused on improvement the efficiency of the company’s functioning and increasing business value at the end by determining the feasibility of application of value-oriented management. It is emphasized that value-oriented management is based on an understanding of the need to ensure the maximum level of prosperity of owners, investors and other stakeholders, is aimed to form common value chains and, as a result, is crucial for the economic development of the company and socio-economic development of the country. As a result, a hypothesis was formulated about the possibility of use the value potential to ensure the economic development of companies. A cyclical chain of economic development factors from the individual company’s value to macroeconomic indicators has been built. The logic of the relationship between the key factors was defined, in particular, it is indicated that the high end value of business stimulates entrepreneurial activity, attracts of direct or stock market capital from investors, and increases the number of investment projects accepted for financing.
STARTUP PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AS A BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL, MANAGEMENT AND INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS

The situation of variability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of the environment requires companies to use a creative approach to business design and management. The ability to adapt, organizational flexibility and maneuverability of businesses is provided by a creative approach to their design and innovative development of these systems. In the current situation, companies must look for radically new approaches to business design and management practices that correspond to the state of their environment. It is through the innovative and creative approach that the constant competitive advantages of enterprises are formed. From the author’s point of view, a project is a plan limited in time and resources, the purpose of which is to create a unique result. The time constraint implies that the project must have a fixed beginning and a fixed end. The end comes when the goals of the project are achieved, or when it becomes clear that the goals will not or cannot be achieved, or when the need for the project is gone and it is stopped. Time constraint means short-term; many projects can take several years. Time frames, as a rule, do not belong to the product, service or result created during the project. Most projects are carried out to achieve a sustainable, lasting result. Uniqueness means that a product or service has characteristic differences from all similar products or services. The presence of repetitive elements does not change the fundamental property of the uniqueness of the project. Uniqueness is an essential feature of the project, ie the implementation of routine tasks can not be the subject of the project. This does not mean that there should be no duplicate elements in the project. The article presents a theoretical and methodological approach to assessing the development of intellectual capital, management through the development of startup projects. The formed institutional-analytical basis is the basis for increasing competitiveness and management. A feature of the effective implementation of a startup project is the need for a very high intellectual and professional level of entrepreneurs and managers. Their knowledge and experience should lie at the intersection of basic and applied sciences, innovation management, knowledge of high-tech industries.
THEORETICAL BASIS OF STRATEGIC ADAPTATION OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF TOURIST ENTERPRISES TO THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES OF THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

The article examines the features of the implementation of adaptive approaches in the field of tourism business from the standpoint of strategic development of economic entities in the negative impact of the external environment. An analysis of the dynamics of development of tourism entities in Ukraine during 2018-2019. The main trends in the development of tourist enterprises are identified and the cost of tourist vouchers sold by tour operators during 2018-2019 is analyzed. It is determined that the process of strategic adaptation of the management system of a tourist enterprise is constant (especially in domestic realities) and requires high-quality tools, which should provide sufficient flexibility of adaptive changes through their maximum universalization. It is proposed to use four main levels of adaptation from the standpoint of adaptation of the management system of a tourist enterprise to the influence of the external environment: epistemological, pragmatic, instrumental and organizational. The epistemological level reveals a clearly defined content of adaptation and describes the relationship of the subjects of the external environment with the enterprise with the help of certain cognitive tools or descriptive aspects. The pragmatic level allows to determine effective measures of adaptation of the management system of the tourist enterprise to the influence of the external environment. The instrumental level provides direct implementation of adaptation processes through the use of effective tools of economic and mathematical modeling, scenario forecasting and other methods that allow to implement defined at the epistemological and pragmatic level approaches and specific measures. At the organizational level there is a coordination of different levels of adaptation and the organization of intra-system elements of adaptation. It is established that the levels of adaptation of the management system of a tourist enterprise differ in the considered measures of clarity, variability, complexity and abstraction. It is proved that the definition of the fundamental provisions of adaptation and interaction of the tourist enterprise with the external environment and its individual subjects, involves a significant level of abstraction, as differences in the activities of individual enterprises are somewhat leveled.
METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RAILWAY TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, Charkina T.
Published: May 2021

In the context of the deepening systemic crisis in the functioning of the passenger railway transport complex in Ukraine, there is an urgent need to optimize its activities and diversify its service portfolio. Taking into account the world experience in the development of railway companies and taking into account the development of the railway network and the significant tourist potential of the country, the introduction of railway tourism services is proposed as a promising direction for the development of the passenger complex of railway transport in Ukraine. The article considers the successful practice of developing railway tourism in the world and the domestic experience of implementing projects to activate tourist railway transportation. Taking into account the limited measures implemented by the passenger complex of railway transport for the development of railway tourism in the country, the expediency of identifying promising tools for activating the growth processes of tourist railway transportation in terms of providing a comprehensive service, including both the main (transport service) and the range of related (additional) services, the introduction of which will contribute to increasing the volume of sales of railway tourism services and, accordingly, generating additional financial flows from their provision. Based on this, the author proposed the introduction of new types of services to generate additional income for the passenger complex of railway transport from tourist transportation: hot food services, which will be provided in the classes of trains “luxury”, “standard”, “economy”, and the organization of hotel business at key stations of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsya”. To assess the effectiveness of railway tourism development projects, in particular from the point of view of profitability of their implementation, it is proposed to use an improved formula for calculating additional income from Tourist Railway Passenger Transportation, which includes profitability coefficients for hot food services and hotel accommodation. This methodology is the basis of a methodological approach to evaluating the effectiveness of railway tourism development projects in Ukraine, which, unlike existing ones, provides for the calculation of a system of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of implementing a set of tools aimed at expanding the range of railway transport services and forming personalized service offers for key segments of users of railway tourism services.

In today’s economic environment, much attention is paid to the company’s partnerships, which, in turn, arise with counterparties. Accounting for settlements with counterparties is of great importance for any company that is active in a market economy, as each company that conducts financial and economic activities, in the process of its operation makes settlements with counterparties: with customers – for their products, with customers – for work performed and services rendered. An important issue in the organization of settlements with counterparties is the organization of internal audit of receivables and payables. This issue is due to the common problem of non-payment and is associated with the existence of insufficient accounting in the structure of the business entity. Settlements with counterparties are inextricably linked to incoming and outgoing cash flows, which form the basis of the process of ensuring the continuous operation of economic entities. The article studies activity of a trade enterprise. The main indicators of financial condition assessment, the main types of assets and liabilities of the enterprise were considered over the last three years, management of the enterprise financial activity has been estimated on the basis of coefficients of liquidity and security of own working capital. The value of the calculated coefficients by years shows their positive dynamics, well above the norm, which indicates the financial stability of the company and the ability to be active even in the absence of access to borrowed funds and external sources of funding. In order to determine the symptoms of the critical financial condition of the enterprise, the bankruptcy was assessed for its early prevention according to O. Tereshchenko’s model, which employs the methodology of discriminant analysis. The calculation according to the model showed a gradual increase of the indicator, which confirms the financial stability of the enterprise.

Authors: Kaźmierczak Jan , Jonek-Kowalska Izabela
Published: May 2021

The problems of creating and managing urban areas according to the approach called “intelligent’ are undoubtly one of leading challenges in contemporary world. A major part of published research from this range is focused on particular tasks of ‘environmental origin’, like sustainability, green economy, reverse economy or the “classic’ problem of protecting urban areas against various sorts of pollutions (air, water, soil, acoustic noise). But in the analysis of the literature sources authors of this paper have noticed that the problems of management is not enough often considered, especially in the context of collecting and processing ‘environmental’ data, obtainability of such data and - last but not least - using the information based on such data in procedures of managing the urban areas. In the introductory part of the papers the above mentioned problems are briefly presented as a background for further consideration. Next, the needs of environmental information in managing urban areas are identified as well as obtainability of such information. Authors have based the contents of this part of the paper on their own experiences from their project ‘Smart City: A Holistic Approach’ as well as on results of surveys carried out on a representative sample of Polish cities. Applying the developed by them model of stakeholder groups in Smart City, the authors presents in the third part of the paper some detailed proposals concerning both the requirements and manner of using the environmental information by various participants of Smart City projects. A special attention is paid on the meaning of environmental information in educational efforts. In the summary part of the paper, some perspectives for further research are briefly presented.
EVALUATION OF PRO-ECOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES INFLUENCING THE QUALITY OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ILLUSTRATED WITH AN EXAMPLE OF A SELECTED COMMUNE
Authors: Skotnicka-Zasadzień Bożena
Published: May 2021

In this study, the undertaken pro-ecological activities aimed at improving the quality of natural environment in one of the communes in southern Poland have been discussed. The presented evaluation of pro-ecological activities and their contribution to the improvement of the quality of natural environment in the examined commune from the perspective of the local community, commune authorities and the power company allows concluding that all these groups see the problem in the protection of natural environment. The residents of the commune have declared their active participation in the improvement of the quality of natural environment in the commune, especially the condition of air. The local power company, through its information policy and activities related to the energy policy of the commune, endeavours to shape pro-ecological attitudes and effectively reduces the negative impact of contamination on the condition of natural environment in the commune. The commune authorities seem to contribute the least to the improvement of natural environment; they definitely need to be more engaged and appoint a leader who would effectively implement sustainable development strategies and work on the improvement of natural environment.

FROM THE LUFTWAFFE HEADQUARTERS TO A SANATORIUM”. THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE HOLIDAY RESORT OF THE WARSAW EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE TRADE UNION OF THE BOOK, PRESS AND RADIO EMPLOYEES IN GOŁDAP, MASURIA
Authors: Szmitkowska Agata
Published: May 2021

This article presents the architecture, origin and the vicissitudes of the holiday resort which was dedicated to employees of the state media institutions of that time and which is representative of Polish holiday centres in Poland in the 1970s. It was developed near a town called Gołdap in northern Poland in the area of the Masurian Lake District which constituted a part of German East Prussia before 1945. The centre was planned in the land which operated as the Main Headquarters of the General Command of Luftwaffe during II World War. One of the key principles assumed by the designer of the holiday resort was not only the use of the natural advantages of the place but also the maximum adaptation of the preserved facilities, the foundations of the buildings and the infrastructure of the former military complex. The unusual architecture, attractive location and the scale of the constructed complex bespoke of the investors’ considerable wealth. The history of the centre entwined closely with important events in general history and the political and economic changes which occurred in Poland after 1989 determined the decision to introduce a new function of a sanatorium to the facility. The complex was then partially reconstructed and developed. This article was based on a number of researches. A detailed analysis was made of the related archival materials and scientific publications. A comparative analysis was conducted of the architecture of the centre and other facilities used for the same purpose which had been built in the 1960s and 1970s in Poland. The required field studies and photographic documentation of all the premises were performed simultaneously.
