Authors: Vizcaíno Antonio de Jesús , Vargas Barraza Juan Antonio , Macías Morales Ana Laura
Published: April 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general enfatizar la importancia de introducir métodos de medición de la calidad en el servicio en las instituciones de asistencia social orientadas a la atención integral de los adultos mayores, como factor determinante para elevar la competitividad y efectividad del servicio otorgado por quienes fungen como agentes solucionadores de la problemática social que enfrenta México en el siglo xxi en materia de servicio asistencial a la población más longeva, y su acelerado proceso de multiplicación, que tendrá un gran impacto económico y social en el país en un futuro próximo. la incorporación de técnicas y herramientas de medición de la calidad en el servicio han sido ampliamente desarrolladas en el ámbito empresarial; sin embargo, poco o nada existe respecto a su implementación en las instituciones de asistencia social, sean públicas o privadas. Consideramos que la incorporación de dicha metodología en estas instituciones coadyuvará a la profesionalización y mejora de la calidad en el servicio asistencial ofrecido.

Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, Totska Olesia
Published: April 2022

The financial services market is developing rapidly in today’s dynamic world. The financial inclusion of our compatriots directly depends on their financial and economic literacy. Therefore, awareness of Ukrainian citizens with financial and economic terms, as well as the basics of financial transactions should take place in childhood. The aim of the article is to draw up the budget of the educational project of financial and economic literacy for the children of preschool and primary school age with the help of the Microsoft Office Project. The article describes the features of the project (purpose, existing hierarchical goals, coordinated implementation of related actions, time frame, availability of the budget, uniqueness). The project of financial and economic literacy for the children is classified into certain types of projects according to different classification criteria (scale, duration, industry affiliation, functional direction, the nature of the parties involved, the degree of complexity, the composition and structure of the organizations involved, the requirements for project quality, the degree of binding, the degree of communication, the number of participants). The step-by-step algorithm of project development from the establishment of the project team to project budget formulation is created and described. Methods used: SWOT-analysis (to identify strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities of the project), critical path (for planning project work), budgeting (for project budgeting). The algorithm of automated scheduling of project tasks in the Microsoft Office Project program is described. The project budget includes the costs of printing presentation materials; creating drawings to explain the financial and economic terms that will be used in the children’s book; creating a layout and printing a children’s book; creating a cartoon; creating a project web page; remuneration of teachers for conducting training sessions. The time frame of the project was 5,5 months. The universality of the project is indicated, as it can be implemented by teachers of economic departments of any institution of higher education in Ukraine. It is noted that the developed project of financial and economic literacy for the children can serve as a basis for other educational projects in preschool or school education or for similar projects of financial and economic literacy, where the target audience will be middle and high school students studying in general secondary education institutions, gymnasiums, lyceums.

Approaches to measuring social development in society are summarized, inter alia, through the Human Development Index and its three pillars (health, education and well-being). An analysis of the possible social impact of private pension provision on human development was carried out. The relationship between indicators covering GDP per person, gross fixed capital formation (investment), selected components of the Human Development Index, the sum of private pension assets was analyzed to identify common trends for some of the world’s largest non-state pension funds and, by comparison, for Ukraine. The correlation between private pension assets (PPA) and GDP per person in most developed countries has been high enough to represent a significant contribution of private pension assets to GDP. This impact can be achieved primarily through the investment of private pension assets, as evidenced by the high correlation between the level of PPA and investment figures. A clear time lag between the formation of PPA and investment, which lasts approximately one year, has been revealed. This may mean that pension funds will be allocated to selected investment projects in a year and thus improve the national economy. Similar figures in the case of Ukraine are weakly correlated, which may indicate that there is virtually no impact of still small private pension assets on economic life in general and its humanitarian component in particular. The dependence of average life expectancy at birth on GDP per person based on purchasing power parity (PPP) and the dependence of healthy life expectancy on government spending on health care was simulated. In Ukraine, the relevant indicators differ from the optimal ones and the participation of non-state pension funds in health care projects would be appropriate. Proposals are offered on the development of the private pension insurance, as well as increasing the level of the «long money» component in Ukraine's economy.

Vocational education is important for training competent specialists considering recent changes in the work processes and their related re-design due to the development of circular economy in the different sectors, especially in the industry. At the same time, the issue of the framework for the VET (vocational education and training) curricula for welders of different levels prepared to perform on a sustainable level remains extremely challenging. The aim of the article is to identify the ways to adjust the VET curricula to include the application of the principles of circular economy in the work process of welding. The article considers the main approaches to determining the components of the work process for welding and the specialists needed to perform it efficiently and sustainably. To achieve our goal, we used two different approaches, meaning the Daughnut model of social and planetary boundaries to establish the goal for the changes in the VET curricula, and the Work and Learning Station Analysis (WLSA) to create a roadmap of changes to the VET curricula. A structured seminar for target groups was organized, during which a survey of experienced workers, as well as teachers and trainers, was conducted. The survey included 8 areas of research, covering both the organization of the work process and the training curricula for welders and the necessary changes to it. A detailed analysis of the welding work process, as well as the necessary procedures for its implementation, allowed us to determine the basic skills and abilities that welders must have. This made it possible to determine the basic competencies that should be acquired by specialists in the process of vocational training. Six areas of competence were identified and the objectives of the curriculum for each of them were set. The analysis of the best practices of designing the welding wok process was carried out, the basic skills which are used by the welders are defined. It is established that the proper design of the work process requires the welders to perform efficiently and sustainably. It is determined that the use of the principles of the circular economy requires a significant adjustment to the VET curriculum for welders. The key factor in the successful implementation of the necessary changes was the legislative support.
A Study on the Translation Strategies of The Nine Songs from the Perspective of Cognitive Construal: A Comparative Analysis of the Yangs’ and Waley’s Versions
Authors: Zhao Liping , Xu Jiju
Published: April 2022

The process of forming translations is closely related to the translators’ embodied cognition and experience. The translators’ different mechanisms of construal contribute to the formation of a variety of translation versions. Based on the theory of Cognitive Construal, this paper discusses in detail the differences and translation strategies between the Yangs and Arthur Waley’s English versions of The Nine Songs, Elegies of the South. The analysis shows that the Yangs’ version has a high degree of specificity, follows the figure-ground relation of the original, highlights the original metrical pattern, and adopts the translation strategy of foreignization by translating the poem from the perspective of the original author. However, Waley’s version has more expressions of lesser specificity, does not follow the figure-ground relation of the original text completely, and changes the metrical pattern of the original poem. He interprets the poem from the perspective of the target language reader and adopts the translation strategy of domestication. The study shows the different translation poetics between Chinese translators and sinologists, hoping to provide references for the translation of Chinese classics.

The subject/topic. The article examines and evaluates the parameters of state policy aimed at regulating the state of the environment for different groups of countries. Goals/Objectives. The aim of the work is to study the impact of government policy measures on the volume of CO2 emissions. Methodology. Authors studied and analyzed the trends in the state measures development in the field of environmental protection by groups of 30 developed and emerging countries for the period 2009-2018 and relevant scientific papers on the stated issues. In the empirical part of the study, models were built and evaluated to establish the relationship between CO2 emissions and government spending on environmental protection, tax revenues from pollution, production of environmental services and a number of control variables. The Results. An N-shaped relationship between tax revenues from environmental pollution and CO2 emissions was revealed, investments in environmental protection projects is significant for both groups of countries (they reduce emissions more strongly in developed economies), the hypothesis of the Kuznets Ecological Curve and the «pollution harbor» effect were confirmed for emerging countries. Conclusions/significance. Based on the results, authors formulated recommendations for improving environmental policy. Application. The empirical estimates of the environmental policy effectiveness parameters give the necessary information for sustainable control and management of pollution levels.

Published: April 2022

The article examines the issue of inhibition of economic growth by environmental investments within the framework of the decarbonization policy, which takes on the importance of an international institution by virtue of the relevant agreements signed by a number of countries. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the decarbonization policy, considered as a brake on economic growth, on the contrary, as a necessary condition and even a driving factor, taking into account other important measures that affect the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The methodology is made by the theory of growth, methods of economic regulation of the level of pollution, comparative analysis. The study shows the three main types of decarbonization policies that are required, and that it is a one-sided approach to reduce pollution reduction policies to them. Systemic solutions are required, including the activation of neutralizing and natural or natural decarbonization, implemented on the scale of the global economy. In addition, the need to change the accounting, measurement and model practice of representing the relationship between economic growth and the level of pollution has been substantiated. The overall result is an estimate of Russia's GDP growth commensurate with the growth of pollution, an empirical substantiation of the absence of a growth retardation effect, taking into account the impact on emissions from forestry and land use. It is shown that investments in the creation of funds for solving environmental problems are a driving factor not only in reducing pollution, but also in economic growth, since they are aimed at creating new equipment and technologies embodied in special means of production. Research perspective in assessing a technological transition that does not hinder economic growth, but provides positive economic dynamics over a long period of time. The choice of a decarbonization policy, which assumes the systemic inclusion of all its types, as well as accounting for adaptation, must be carried out not only in terms of the speed of implementation, but also due to the endogenization of the decarbonization policy as a factor in a new growth model.

The purpose of the study is to consider modern urban policy aimed at achieving sustainable development by cities and implementing the concept of «smart cities». Subject. The study of the prospects for the implementation of the concept of «smart city» based on modern digital and technological developments, in order to achieve the goal of cities sustainable development. Target groups. In order to be able to find new solutions that should be reflected in modern urban policies towards «smart cities», to solve social problems, authors turn to policymakers responsible for urban policy development and to «solution providers». This study may resonate with the scientific community. The methodology applied for this study is based on analytical and logical methods for analyzing the processes associated with the development of modern urban policy and the implementation of the concept of «smart city», a comparative analysis of case studies, practical developments of cities in this area. Results. It is shown that at the present stage of development, the concept of «smart city» needs to be considered in as an integral part of urban policy. It is demonstrated that despite different definitions of urban policy, it remains important that city policies include tasks that contribute to sustainable development, the transition to the paradigm of inclusive and «green» cities. It is shown that the use of the advantages of digital technologies in cities is crucial to ensure the consistent achievement of sustainability. A SWOT-analysis is realized, showing that initiatives embedded in urban policy carry a wide range of opportunities and allow solving a complex of economic, social, and environmental problems, and knowledge of potential weaknesses makes it possible to «turn» them into opportunities or laying down ways to overcome them. Options for thematic areas and planned actions in the development of a modern city policy are considered. It is proposed to compare the developed modern urban policy with the existing best practices, taking into account different approaches to the typology of cities, using a system of indicators. The shortcomings typical for most cities in the development of urban policy and the barriers that hinder its implementation are identified. It is concluded that cities, among other things, will strive for sustainable development as part of the implementation of the concept of «smart city» with a greater emphasis on digital technologies, innovative solutions, potential in the field of big data.

Published: April 2022

Based on initial piloting and early feedback we suggested that IWWIWBT ‘met the key principles and agendas’ discussed in an earlier paper1 . This pilot with learners from the CSS reaffirmed our confidence in the scheme. The learners were engaged with the material and activities when exploring diversity issues in inter-war Belgium and ‘what it means to be a citizen’. They learnt new information while developing arguments and interpretations that combined originality and ‘absolute faithfulness’ to the evidence. The learners worked through evidence that was both complex and emotionally challenging. They resolved contradictions and tensions from assumedly reliable sources. IWWIWBT enabled these teenagers to do real history and they loved it!

At the end of the «Era of the Witness», valuable sources remain for education with video testimonies, which, however, require a different didactic approach than a live encounter with a survivor. The online application «Witnesses of the Shoah» developed at Freie Universität Berlin includes not only interview films, but contextual materials and interactive tasks. It serves as an example to show how the pedagogical use of video interviews in (school) education can be designed, which aspects of testimony are likely to be discussed in this context, how adolescents relate to the survivors’ reports, and in what sense this fosters their historical consciousness.

This article explores the question of how to teach about the Holocaust as a historical event that is relevant to the reality we face today. This article suggests some methodical principles that allow students to study the Holocaust in a personally meaningful way. In addition, it is recommended to teach about actors (using this term instead of the educationally misleading term bystander) and to analyze their attitudes towards unfolding events. The way actors (institutions as well as individuals) relate to what happens in their milieu, constitutes a strong connection between past and contemporary tragedies

The financial and economic activity of the leading insurance companies of Ukraine is analyzed, as the global pandemic COVID-19 has made significant adjustments in the activities without exaggeration of all companies, both nationally and globally. Therefore, the analysis of the insurance companies of the national economy is very important issue, because the accumulation of financial resources of insurance companies can be used as domestic investment in the national economy. The surveyed insurance companies: Alliance, Asuka, Arsenal Insurance, Alpha Insurance, Uniqa during the crisis period of 2019–2021, managed to maintain their position in the market of insurance services, and even improved their financial results, because insurance services are now more relevant than ever. The development of financial resources of insurance companies can be one of the levers of financing and investing in strategically important aspects of consumer life, such as health insurance, both locally (communities, regions) and more globally nationally, such as life insurance in general and insurance for example risky professions such as medics, including primary care, rescuers, military. In our opinion, more in-depth research of the insurance market of the national economy will make it possible to prepare the change in legislation and structure the economic activities and cooperation of national insurers, in order to improve the activities and monitoring of state regulatory institutions. In order to do this, in this paper we propose to use the tools of cluster analysis, using modern software with elements of artificial intelligence. The financial results of the main national insurance companies are studied, and due to modern tools of cluster analysis, we have clustered the studied insurance companies, using modern information programs Matlab, have made calculations in user-friendly interface. and have constructed the dendrogram that clearly represents the clusters formed. Modeling based on cluster analysis makes it possible to combine leading insurance companies into clusters of financial performance, which will allow and strengthen synergies between national insurers, which in turn will strengthen the exchange of experience, and possibly customer bases between existing insurance companies, and it is convenient for investors to consider companies united in insurance groups in order to invest investment resources.

The objective necessity of institutional support of the land reform in Ukraine in the aspect of market turnover of agriculturally used areas (AUA) is revealed. It is emphasized that during the reform the institutions that bring negative results have apeared. These institutions form institutional traps, such as: imbalance of normative and market prices for land; growth of speculative operations with land; inequality of the priority right to purchase leased land; inequality of access to credit resources for land purchase; legalization of undeclared assets and «laundering of dirty money»; monopolization of the land market and increase in land prices. It is emphasized that in order to exit from these institutional traps it is necessary that: 1) the market price of land by January 1, 2030 should be not less than the normative monetary value, which, in addition, should be regularly updated by the specialists of the State Geocadastre; 2) the low initial price of land should not become a subject for speculation, and should be faciliated by electronic auctions for sale and simplification of the procedure of state registration of land plots; 3) the transaction on the market of AU should be monitored or even directly conducted by the authorized body; 4) while selling municipal and state lands, particularly through electronic auctions, farms and agricultural holdings should be in equal conditions; 5) equal access to credit resources should be provided to all participants of the land market, conditions for the participation of farmers in the state program «Affordable loans 5–7–9%» should be simplified and they shoul be provided with the access to the Fund for partial guarantee of loans in agriculture, and in the future – to loans of the State Land Bank, which is to be organized; 6) sources of funds origin for AUA purchase, exclusively in cashless form should be documentary approved, and measures and standards of the International Group on Combating Dirty Money Laundering (FATF) should be implemented; 7) regulation of AUA concentration level in the hands of one owner, including at the regional and local level should be introduced, here the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine should play an important role; 8) possible increase in prices for agricultural products should additionally be regulated by institutions in the field of consumption. It is concluded that all these measures should create the necessary basis for the exit from the institutional traps at the lowest cost.

Published: April 2022

The emergence and development of the concept of value in terms of certain historical stages of economics are investigated in this paper. It is also investigated that the concept of value is fundamental problem in economics and primary source for understanding the purpose and motives of economic entities, areas of consumption, distribution and the exchange of their resources and income. The objective of the investigation, is to assess on the basis of comparative analysis of the methodology of the main provisions and conclusions of existing concepts of value, their significance for the process of learning about the functionality and relationships of economic entities in the current economy. While investigating the conceptual positions of economists-scientists concerning the theory of value at different historical stages of its existence and development, theoretical general scientific research methods (formalization, synthesis, abstraction and logical generalization) are used. The evolution of the theory of value, from ancient times until such historical schools as mercantilism, physiocracy, English political economics, French classical bourgeois political economics, Marxism, and marginalism is considered in this paper. The study of the theory of value in economics makes it possible to determine that the main scientific paradigms prevailed in the theory of value are the labor theory of value and the theory of marginal utility. The problem of preserving the potential of traditional theories of value, and the preconditions on which they are based on, is considered. In addition, the logical and historical relationship between the concepts of value is investigated; the impact of different concepts of value on the process of the market economy relationship understanding is evaluated. The practical value of scientific work is that clearer understanding of the concept of value at the theoretical level makes it possible to solve practical problems in determining the amount of costs, their structure, and methods of calculation for businesses. It is investigated that the concept of value remains relevant in modern economics, as it is the basis for understanding such important categories as price, production costs, profits, etc., and the laws of value determine the behaviour in market economy. It is found that the value, covering all centres of the economy, determines the motives and goals of economic entities; promotes the efficient distribution and use of resources and income, sustainable growth of production, its balance; affects the whole complex of economic relations arising in the process of social reproduction of material and spiritual goods, their production, exchange, distribution and consumption.

Published: April 2022

Monitoring of socio-economic development of administrative and territorial units was carried out and asymmetry of regional development with a trend towards non-essential reduction of interregional disparities was detected. It was established that the expediency of using interbudgetary transfers is due to the limited resources of local budgets for the proper provision of public services to the population. The reasons for this are the differences in regional development, delegation of powers from the state to local self-government bodies and the need to provide them with a sufficient amount of financial resources. The practice was characterized and the problems of granting subventions to local budgets for the implementation of measures on social and economic development of certain territories were identified. The changes in the amount of budgetary support for the implementation of powers of local self-government bodies as a result of the movement of interbudgetary transfers are analyzed. The algorithm of budget regulation is proposed, which provides for the gradual use of the tools of such regulation and allows to improve the budgetary provision of implementation: delegated powers of local self-government bodies at the expense of state budget resources by ensuring compliance between budgetary resources received from state authorities and their need; their own self-governing powers of local self-government bodies at the expense of directing to their implementation of their own revenues of local budgets in full without diverting part of the budget resources for the implementation of delegated powers. It is recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of budget regulation on the basis of the indicator of the level of provision of budgetary resources delegated by the state to local self-government bodies. The article emphasizes the priority of using such a tool of budget regulation as fixed income in the form of national taxes and fees in full or their share and taking into account when calculating the taxability index of local budgets of revenues of all national taxes and fees assigned to them in the volumes determined by the Budget Code of Ukraine.
