Monuments aux morts de Normandie
Authors: Chaline Jean-Pierre
Published: June 2023

Souvenir impérissable de la Grande Guerre, les monuments aux morts, modestes ou grandioses, fabriqués en série ou oeuvres originales, témoignent dans chaque commune, ainsi que dans les églises ou tel grand établissement, de l’étendue des pertes subies (au nombre d'environ 90 000 pour l’ensemble de la Normandie) et de la volonté toujours présente d’honorer, comme l’écrivait Péguy, «ceux qui sont morts dans une juste guerre».
Caen en 1968 : «Une année bien mouvementée»
Authors: Quellien Jean
Published: June 2023

À la «une» de son numéro du 26 décembre, l’hebdomadaire Caen 7 jours ti trait en gros caractères : «1968 fut une année bien mouvementée.» À Caen, en effet, les «événements» commencent dès janvier avec l’accueil houleux réservé par les étudiants au ministre de l’Éducation nationale, suivi une dizaine de jours plus tard par des affrontements d’une exceptionnelle violence, en plein centre-ville, entre travailleurs en grève de la SAVIEM et forces de l’ordre. C’est «le printemps en hiver».
L’oeuvre de Georges de La Tour en Normandie
Authors: Cornu Claude
Published: June 2023

En 1945 est découvert dans l’église de Bois-Anzeray, dans l’Eure, un tableau qui n’avait auparavant jamais retenu l’attention : un Saint Sébastien soigné par Irène, tout à fait semblable à la toile de Georges de La Tour figurant au musée de Berlin. Se posent alors deux questions : l’authenticité de l’oeuvre et le choix du lieu où elle doit être conservée. Lorsqu’en 1972 une confrontation des deux tableaux conclut à l’antériorité du tableau de Bois-Anzeray, la convoitise du Louvre entraîne sept années de tractati ons et de polémiques : faut-il, en effet, amputer le patrimoine normand de ce chef-d’oeuvre au profit de la capitale ?
Safran Nacelles au Havre : héritage d’hier, succès de demain
Authors: Dubos Jean-Marie
Published: June 2023

En 1896, la société Schneider frères et Cie, spécialisée dans la fabrication d’armement, rachète des ateliers d’artillerie situés au Havre pour y implanter des moyens de production et d’essais. C’est le point de départ d’une aventure industrielle et humaine qui va traverser le temps pour donner naissance à l’un des fleurons de l’industrie aéronautique française : Safran Nacelles. De l’artillerie aux nacelles en passant par les machines-outils et les sièges éjectables, histoire d’un site qui a su s’adapter et se réinventer en gardant fièrement son cap, celui de la haute technologie.

De quels aéroports la Normandie a-t-elle besoin ?
Authors: Granier Gérard
Published: June 2023

La proximité relative des aéroports de Paris et l’absence d’une véritable métropole expliquent que la Normandie soit l’une des régions françaises qui enregistre le plus faible trafic de passagers en France. La plupart des Normands transitent par les aéroports parisiens ou celui de Beauvais. Pourtant, avec cinq aéroports commerciaux, notre région est doté d’un maillage particulièrement serré, à l’image de la France entière, pays d’Europe qui compte le plus d’aéroports par rapport à sa population. Comment expliquer ce paradoxe apparent et vers quelles solutions faut-il se diriger ?
Normandie AeroEspace : l’esprit «club» au service de la performance
Authors: Eudeline Philippe
Published: June 2023

En vingt ans d’existence, la filière aéronautique et spatiale normande s’est imposée comme un acteur incontournable du tissu économique régional. Un exemple d’efficacité au service de ses membres qui a inspiré de nombreuses autres filières industrielles normandes. Mais dans un secteur en croissance continue et en évolution permanente, les défis qui s’annoncent pour les dix ans à venir ne sont pas moins grands que ceux relevés jusqu’ici par NAE et ses membres.
Rollon et la fondation de la Normandie
Authors: Bouet Pierre
Published: June 2023

Rollon n’est pas le premier chef viking à être venu dévaster l’ouest de la France. De nombreuses bandes scandinaves l’ont précédé aussi bien dans les îles Britanniques que sur nos rivages. Sur ce personnage, comme sur les autres chefs vikings, nous ne disposons que d’informations lacunaires ou partisanes.
Les caricatures de Victor Hugo au musée de Villequier
Authors: Pouchain Gérard
Published: June 2023

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les expositions de Victor Hugo caricaturé par Bertall, Carjat, Cham, Daumier, Gill, Le Petit, Nadar, Roubaud, etc., se multiplient tant en France qu’à l’étranger (Belgique, Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, Guernesey, Italie, Jersey, mais aussi Canada, Chine, Cuba, États-Unis). En revanche, on attend toujours une exposition consacrée aux caricatures signées Victor Hugo. Le plus grand nombre est conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (environ cinq cents), mais la Maison de Victor Hugo de Paris et le musée Victor-Hugo – Maison Vacquerie de Villequier en possèdent aussi, respectivement un peu moins de cent cinquante et trente-huit.
De l’agnel au rollon : l’avenir des monnaies citoyennes en Normandie
Authors: Almendros Jean-Marie , Orange Gérald
Published: June 2023

Le rollon, la monnaie normande numérique lancée en test officiellement le 29 juin à Saint-Lô, ville pilote, intrigue autant qu’elle suscite l’espoir d’une accélération de la transition écologique en Normandie. Voulue par le président du conseil régional Hervé Morin, la préparation de son lancement a suivi un parcours respectant l’existence des monnaies locales citoyennes déjà présentes sur le territoire et avec leur concours actif. Loin de concurrencer l’euro, ces monnaies sont complémentaires – 1 euro = 1 rollon – au service d’objectifs précis. L’enjeu est inédit en France, à une échelle régionale, et compliqué en raison de contraintes juridiques et techniques.

Il est incontestable que la cidriculture normande connaît actuellement une période de dynamisme qu’elle attendait depuis longtemps. Les producteurs de fruits à cidre et les élaborateurs de cidre, qu’ils soient fermiers, artisans ou coopératives agricoles, proposent aujourd’hui une gamme de cidres aux qualités reconnues, avec pour certains des signes officiels de qualité : l’IGP (indication géographique protégée) Cidre de Normandie ou les AOP (appellations d’origine protégée) Cidre du pays d’Auge, Cidre Cotentin, Poiré Domfront et demain Cidre du pays de Caux et Cidre du Perche, sans oublier les cidres issus de l’agriculture biologique.
Les calvados : des produits en dehors des modes
Authors: Bédu Didier
Published: June 2023

Le calvados est issu de la pomme à cidre et de la poire à poiré. La pomme étant le troisième fruit mondialement le plus connu et apprécié, nos produits sont sous les meilleurs auspices pour conquérir le monde. Ce sont, d’abord et avant tout, des produits authentiques et artisanaux, la plupart provenant de domaines agricoles familiaux, fièrement ancrés dans leur terroir et respectueux des traditions, qui ont façonné un véritable savoir-faire dans l’élaboration, la distillation ou le vieillissement. Plus que tout, nos appellations sont des produits naturels, sans aucun additif ni conservateur venant altérer la pureté du fruit. C’est parce qu’ils ont traversé les siècles qu’ils sont on ne peut plus contemporains et s’inscrivent dans la modernité.
Le patrimoine et la région : la Normandie comme exemple
Authors: Frémont Armand
Published: June 2023

Le patrimoine est une notion relativement peu utilisée par les géographes français, si ce n’est sans le dire. Le patrimoine, selon le dictionnaire, est un ensemble de biens, transmissible, qui appartient à un individu ou à un groupe, par exemple une maison d’habitation, un château, une usine ou une forêt, des livres ou des tableaux. On attribue généralement au patrimoine une dimension historique, en ce sens que sa durabilité peut porter sur plusieurs siècles. Mais il est aussi courant, si ce n’est usuel, de l’apprécier dans une dimension géographique et plus actuelle. Ainsi parlera-t-on, sans trop y prendre garde, du patrimoine d’une région.
Mai-juin 1968 à Rouen : deux mois qui ont suspendu le temps
Authors: Fabre Amélie
Published: June 2023

À la veille des événements de 1968, l’éditorialiste du Monde, Pierre Viansson-Ponté, dresse le portrait d’une «France qui s’ennuie». Pourtant, l’atmosphère était déjà assez agitée à Rouen comme dans le reste de la France, tout au moins pour les ouvriers, les employés et les étudiants. Moment à part, où le temps est comme suspendu, les mois de mai et juin 1968 permettent l’émergence de formes nouvelles d’organisation, de dialogue, de prise de parole et voient, par l’ampleur des grèves, l’un des mouvements sociaux les plus importants du XXe siècle.

Additionally, we recommend that Extension awards programs be expanded and encouraged to promote personal and professional growth.
Youth Participatory Evaluation: Matching 4-H Youth Experience to Program Theory
Authors: Arnold Mary , Gandy Jonathan
Published: June 2023

Recently, a new program model for describing and predicting the impact of 4-H on youths was proposed. The model's structure was confirmed statistically in preliminary testing. However, youth voice had not been included in the development of the model. This article describes a study intended to assess the alignment of the six thriving indicators presented in the model with the lived experience of youths. Results revealed alignment between youths' experience and the thriving indicators. Youths affirmed thriving as an accurate way to describe their 4-H experience and provided examples of how the thriving indicators match their experience.
Using Hybrid Learning to Improve Educational Programs for Small-Acreage Farmers
Authors: DePhelps Colette , Newman Soren , Golden Lauren , Mayes Iris
Published: June 2023

A whole-farm planning course in Idaho has evolved from an in-person course offered by a single instructor in one location to an online course to a hybrid learning course that combines online learning with in-person and webinar components offered simultaneously at multiple sites across the state. Evaluation data suggest that all three approaches have been effective at increasing knowledge and skills. The hybrid learning model allows for using technology to leverage faculty and farmer expertise and increase participant numbers while maintaining in-person interaction and experiential learning. Findings support the concept of the hybrid learning model as a tool for Extension audiences in rural states.
Increasing Global Thinking and Engagement Within Extension
Authors: Zimbroff Andrew
Published: June 2023

The increasingly prominent trend of globalization now affects all U.S. communities. Extension, in its mission to help these communities, must increase its global thinking and engagement so that communities can adapt to this modern trend and continue to thrive. In this commentary, I discuss the reasons why increased global thinking and responsive action is necessary as well as beneficial for the communities Extension serves. Further, I give examples of various ways Extension personnel can increase their global engagement and identify potential collaborators for such endeavors.
Leveraging Utilization-Focused Evaluations to Engage Elected Officials and County Personnel
Authors: Lane Trevor , Sanders Christina
Published: June 2023

Elected officials, an audience essential to the relevance and funding of Extension, may lack knowledge of Extension's capacity to engage with them in solving local problems, building consensus, and improving strategic planning or governance. They may not consider that by collaborating with locally knowledgeable Extension professionals, they also gain access to broader university resources that can assist them in understanding community needs and obtaining relevant evidence-based recommendations. We describe how Extension and county officials and personnel implemented utilization-focused evaluation to inform county strategic planning, budgeting, and governance, leading to continuous process improvement for the county and increased support for and understanding of Extension.
Mississippi Residents' Perceptions of Extension
Authors: Settle Quisto , Brubaker McKayla , Hardman Alisha , Downey Laura
Published: June 2023

A representative sample of Mississippi residents were asked about their knowledge and perceptions of the Mississippi State University (MSU) Extension Service through an online questionnaire. About half of the respondents were aware of MSU Extension, but fewer than one fifth had used MSU Extension resources. Respondents who were aware of MSU Extension had generally positive perceptions of MSU Extension's characteristics and believed those characteristics to be important. Like previous empirical and anecdotal evidence, these results support continued characterization of Extension as a "best-kept secret." There is a clear need to improve awareness of Extension and the resources it makes available to the public
Developing Herd Health Education for and Assessing Risky Practices of Cow-Calf Producers
Authors: Allen Andrew , Llewellyn Donald , Kerr Susan , Hudson Tipton , Neibergs Shannon , Smith Sarah , Moore Dale
Published: June 2023

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an often unrecognized problem in cow-calf herds. We describe a program we used to help producers identify and avoid practices that could increase their herds' risk for BRD. The greatest knowledge gains occurred for the topics of costs associated with BRD, BRD risks at the feedlot, and biosecurity measures. Through producer self-assessments, we found that the number of risky practices conducted by producers ranged from none to 22 per operation, averaging 10 per operation. Extension professionals should consider combining producer self-assessment with education on management as an effective strategy for informing producers of risks in their operations.

Published: June 2023

Each year, a considerable number of individuals are diagnosed with potentially life-threatening renal failure, encompassing acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). New natural herbal compounds, whether used in isolation or combined with medical treatments and an appropriate regime, have been suggested for the management of renal failure. The etiology of AKI remains uncertain; nevertheless, several factors have been proposed as potential causative agents that can lead to renal failure, including renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), nephrotoxicity, sepsis, administration of radiocontrast agents, and exposure to heavy metal ions. Several commonly utilized herbs with anti-diabetic and antihypertensive properties, known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasorelaxant effects, have been recognized as efficacious therapeutic agents in the management of CKD. The management of renal failure typically involves treating the underlying diseases, such as IRI, sepsis, and diabetes. However, if addressing the root cause is not possible, the focus shifts to managing complications like hypertension and proteinuria.
ISOLATED FOVEAL HYPOPLASIA: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Ivanovska Adjievska Biljana , Buckoska Violeta
Published: June 2023

Foveal hypoplasia is a retinal disorder in which the foveal pit of the macula lutea is incompletely developed and is characterized by nystagmus and low visual acuity. It can manifest itself in isolation, without a clear etiology, or associated with other conditions such as albinism, aniridia, Stickler Syndrome, optic nerve hypoplasia, microphtalmus, etc. Modern retinal imaging technologies are key to diagnosis of this rare retinal disorder. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman with poor distance and near vision and nystagmus since childhood, without other associated diseases. Visual acuity was 0.5 Snellen decimal units in both eyes, with present latent nystagmus. The anterior segment was normal, while an absent foveal reflex was found on fundus examination. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging confirmed the absence of foveal depression in the macular area. OCT-angiography (OCTA) was performed, which confirmed the absence of a foveal avascular zone in the macula. According to the proposed grading system parameters for foveal hypoplasia, this case corresponds with the most severe (grade 4) degree of foveal hypoplasia. Foveal hypoplasia can be associated with numerous etiological factors, and visual acuity can vary depending on the development of foveal photoreceptors and structural gradation. For this reason, especially in children with reduced visual acuity of unknown etiology and the existence of nystagmus, it is recommended to perform additional examinations and use multimodal imaging techniques (OCT and OCTA) in order to make a timely and accurate diagnosis. Management of this disorder includes treatment of the associated ocular and systemic conditions, refractive correction, treatment of amblyopia and use of low vision aids.
A didactic sequence for the initial study of fractions
Authors: VALENZUELA-OCHOA Jeanneth Milagros , CUEVAS-SALAZAR Omar , BACA-CARRASCO David
Published: June 2023

The present study is focused on the mathematical object of fractions. A didactic support sequence was elaborated and implemented as the first formal approach to its study for students in the third year of elementary level school, using, as a means, accessible manipulative materials to be used in the classroom. In order to identify the theoretical elements that served as a guide for the design of the activities and the manipulative materials, analyzes were carried out from the epistemological and didactic approaches. The didactic sequence consists of three parts: the first is based on the previous notions that the student has about fractions, using their experiences with daily life; in the second part it is contextualized, trying to formalize the object, going from a middle to a half; Finally, the use of numbers to represent fractions is introduced, making use of figural representations. It was applied to 6 students. It was concluded that the process of building their knowledge about fractions, starting with ½, associating it with their experiences, and using manipulative materials, allowed students to outline the concept of fractions and arrive at its numerical representation, giving meaning to the numerator and denominator.

Published: June 2023

This discussion aims to examine more deeply about religious tolerance from the perspective of minority religions, especially Buddha at the Dhammadipa Arama Monastery, Malang. This is intended to get a complete picture of tolerance. Because most of those who experience intolerance are minorities, so it would be interesting if his perspective on religious tolerance was reviewed. Field research was selected based on various considerations and suggestions from various parties. Data collection was carried out on the spot. This research is included in the qualitative category, or it can be said that this research is comprehensive to understand the environment (such as behavior and phenomena). The results of the study show that even for minorities (especially at the Dhammadipa Arama Monastery), religious harmony is also important to strive for. And one of the practical solutions that can be applied is to improve communication between religions. Because often conflicts occur because of a lack of understanding of each other. then to address various issues one should look at it from several points of view so that one does not arbitrarily conclude with one's own rationality.

Microwave Resonators Enhanced with 3D Liquid-Metal Electrodes for Microparticle Sensing in Microfluidic Applications
Authors: Alataş Yağmur Ceren , Tefek Uzay , Sarı Burak , Hanay Mehmet Selim
Published: June 2023

In electrical sensors, effect of particle position on the signal magnitude can be mitigated through achieving uniform electric field at sensing region. 3D electrodes based on conductive solutions have been used before to generate uniform electric field in microfluidic platforms, where the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte was sufficient for impedance measurements at low frequencies (typically lower than 50 MHz). Due to low ion mobility, electrolyte liquids cannot be used as electrodes at microwave frequencies (>1 GHz). We used Galinstan, a metal that is liquid at room temperature, to fabricate 3D liquid electrodes connected to a microfluidic channel integrated microwave resonator.  A mixture of 20 μm and 30 μm diameter polystyrene particles were measured and classified based on their size without any calibration for particle position by generating uniform electric field.These results demonstrate the utility of liquid electrodes in enhancing the electrical control of microwave resonant sensors.

Eleocharis dulcis is a swamp plant has potential as a traditional medicine. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of determining specific and non-specific parameters on simplicia and methanol extract of purun tikus’s stems. Determination of specific parameters includes organoleptic, macroscopic - microscopic tests, water soluble extract content, ethanol soluble extract content and phytochemical screening such as testing for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and steroids/triterpenoids. Determination of non-specific parameters includes drying shrinkage, determination of total ash content, acid insoluble ash content and heavy metal contamination. The results of the study on the specific parameters of stem extract showed that the simplicia powder was light brown in color, had a characteristic odor that was not pungent and had a bitter taste and on microscopic examination only the simplicia could be observed epidermis, transport bundles, parenchyma and collenchyma fragments,. The results of the non-specific simplicia characterization test showed drying shrinkage of 8.91%, total ash content of 13.79%, acid insoluble ash content of 6.89%. The results showed that both simplicia and methanol extract of purun tikus’s stems met the general requirements for specific and non-specific characteristics except for the total ash content of the simplicia which was declared not eligible.
The role of sclerostin in the formation of cardiovascular calcifi cation in chronic kidney disease C5D
Authors: Makhieva A. T. , Mambetova A. M.
Published: June 2023

THE AIM: to study the relationship of blood sclerostin with clinical parameters and its influence on the probability of detection of cardiovascular calcification in patients with CKD C5D.

PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study was a single-stage, cohort study involving 84 patients with stage 5D CKD who received hemodialysis therapy, including 40 (47.6 %) female patients and 44 (52.4 %) male patients. The average age was 55.6±14.9 years. The examination included, in addition to routine studies, echocardioscopy with an assessment of calcification of the heart valves, abdominal radiography in the lateral projection with an assessment of aortic calcification, analysis of indicators that characterize phosphorus-calcium metabolism (serum sclerostin levels, 1.25(OH)D, FGF-23, A-klotho, PTH, P and Cа blood). Statistical analysis was performed using the computer program STATISTICA 12.6 (StatSoft Inc., USA).

RESULTS. It was shown that the level of sclerostin is higher in the elderly, as well as those who have signs of hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia, indirectly indicating the presence of protein-energy deficiency. There is an Association of blood sclerostin with FGF-23 and Alpha-klotho. From the point of view of the probable influence on the processes of cardiovascular calcification, this relationship shows its unidirectionality. Increased blood sclerostin levels have been shown to be associated with the risk of detecting signs of cardiovascular calcification. Moreover, it is shown that the higher the level of sclerostin in the blood, the more pronounced the degree of this calcification. Along with the increase in the level of sclerostin, the ability of a deficit of 1.25(OH)D to lead to the development of calcification was confirmed.

CONCLUSION. A high level of sclerostin in the blood serum of more than 92.5 pmol / l in patients with CKD C5D increases the risk of detecting signs of cardiovascular calcification (calcification of the aortic wall and heart valves). An increase in sclerostin levels occurs in conjunction with an increase in FGF-23 and a decrease in 1.25(OH)D

Standardized patient simulation cases with embedded cultural, language, gender, age, sexuality, and legal complexity issues were identified by stakeholders in Dar es Salaam centring on;1) adolescent health, 2) women’s health, and 3) male health cases.  Twenty-four health professional students evenly split across nursing, midwifery, and medicine were recruited and enrolled to participate in a pilot trial of the standardized patient simulations conducted in Kiswahili and the results were recorded. Videos were evaluated by trained bilingual research staff using standardized behavioural checklists. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses were used to assess the pilot data. The study found that seventy- five percent (N =18) of baseline participants (N=24) returned for the 3-month follow-up simulation assessment. While not powered for statistical significance, students showed improvement in all cases and a significant improvement in the male erectile dysfunction concerns case for both interpersonal communication (t (17) = -3.445, p < .005) and medical history taking checklist (t (17) = -3.259, p < .005). Further, most students found the opportunity to practice using the simulations helpful or very helpful in their sexual and reproductive health education. It was therefore concluded that preliminary sexual and reproductive health simulation data using standardized patients demonstrated feasibility and acceptability among student participants.

In this paper, we suggest the bare minimum initial capital a firm providing insurance must hold to avoid going bankrupt. A case-separated investment discrete-time surplus process in motor insurance claims serves as the study's model. The 50th, 60th, 70th, and 80th percentiles are used as the dividing line between a claim's standard claim and large claim situations. We also discover a link between an insurance company's initial capital and the likelihood of ruin. The least squares regression method is utilized to calculate the minimum initial capital, and the simulation approach would be used to determine the ruin probability. The results indicate that the least initial capital is better provided by the 70th percentile than the 50th, 60th, and 80th percentiles, respectively.

This study sheds new light on the possibility of absolute beta-convergence among countries in subSaharan Africa (SSA). This convergence has been defined as the closing of the income gap between the poorest and richest countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to testing for evidence of absolute beta-convergence among 43 countries in SSA, it also tests for convergence for different income groups – the middle and low-income economies respectively. Annual cross-country data from 43 SSA countries were employed between 1996 and 2020. The panel least square method was employed in the analysis. The dependent variable was the GDP growth rate while the independent variable was the initial GDP per capita. The result revealed that there is weak evidence of absolute beta-convergence among all the countries in SSA. This evidence was more pronounced among the middle-income economies, unlike the low-income economies of SSA. This implies that the inequality in the middleincome economies of SSA has reduced within this period of study but inequality has not reduced among the low-income economies. Hence, there is a need for the low-income economies of SSA to double their GDP growth rate in other to catch up with the rich countries.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING RELATIONS-THE CASE OF VIRGIN

The promotion and protection of employee mental health at work is an extremely important factor for the scientific management of modern organizations. The advancement of positive mental health can lead to an improved workplace atmosphere and has been linked to positive work-related outcomes, at an employee-level. Especially during period of sudden change and forced reorganizations, as in the case of the latest COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of ensuring positive mental health in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. Until the pandemic broke out, remote work was mainly carried out by highly skilled and highly autonomous workers. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, working from home has been adopted by millions of workers in the EU and around the world. These changes may highlight the importance of understanding the concept of employment relations. The concept may have always been extremely important, but in today's world a deep consideration of its influencing factors is necessary, through the understanding of the ways of strengthening industrial relations in different circumstances (such as in the context of teleworking, hybrid models of physical presence in the office and remote working, etc.). In order for the above to be done, there has to be a deeper comprehension of the ways of strengthening relationships, in different reference contexts and conditions (which requires an increased understanding of the “deep” nature of the concept under study). As a result of the changes brought about by the pandemic, employee stress has increased significantly. This stress was caused by many factors, such as health threats, numerous constraints, isolation, lack of social support, disrupted work-life balance at home, etc.

Despite the crucial role of complex temporal sequences, such as speech and music, in our everyday lives, our ability to acquire and reproduce these patterns is prone to various contextual biases. In this study, we examined how the temporal order of auditory sequences affects temporal reproduction. Participants were asked to reproduce accelerating, decelerating or random sequences, each consisting of four intervals, by tapping their fingers. Our results showed that the reproduction and the reproduction variability were influenced by the sequential structure and interval orders. The mean reproduced interval was assimilated by the first interval of the sequence, with the lowest mean for decelerating and the highest for accelerating sequences. Additionally, the central tendency bias was affected by the volatility and the last interval of the sequence, resulting in a stronger central tendency in the random and decelerating sequences than the accelerating sequence. Using Bayesian integration between the ensemble mean of the sequence and individual durations and considering the perceptual uncertainty associated with the sequential structure and position, we were able to accurately predict the behavioral results. The findings highlight the critical role of the temporal order of a sequence in temporal pattern reproduction, with the first interval exerting greater influence on mean reproduction and the volatility and the last interval contributing to the perceptual uncertainty of individual intervals and the central tendency bias.

Published: June 2023

Introduction. A necessary condition for raising and improving the economic situation in Ukraine is the improvement of the management structure of the organization, the introduction of modern management methods, namely strategic management. In today's unstable conditions of business, it is very important to understand the purpose of one's existence and the clarity of establishing further actions according to the plan, because often most companies are forced to close down their activities. It is for this purpose that a development strategy is developed and implemented for the long-term perspective and effective functioning of the enterprise. If we take into account the complexity of managing the effective development of the company, there is a need to develop and use scientifically based modern management technologies, as well as mechanisms that motivate development in the perspective that takes into account strategic directions.
The purpose of the paper is the selection and analysis of a number of alternatives for the strategy of business development.
Results. The company's strategy is a set of its main tasks and main ways of achieving the set goals. The strategy of each enterprise includes three stages of the formation process: the general strategy of the organization is formed; a competition strategy is being formed; competition functions are defined. The strategy of stability is a concentration on current areas of entrepreneurial activity and its support. A growth strategy is a kind of expansion of the enterprise by capturing or appropriating new markets. The production strategy is mainly focused on decisions related to the use of the necessary capacities. Marketing strategy consists in defining some goods, services and offers on the market. The financial strategy consists in the forecast of the financial indicators of the strategic plan.
Conclusion. In the process of strategy formation, the criterion for choosing alternatives should be the direction in which the enterprise has good prospects. It is necessary to avoid building a strategy taking into account the types of activities that the enterprise was engaged in little or not at all. In other words, the strategy should correspond to the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise and its competitive capabilities.
Optimal industry tax rate adjustment for investors in Denmark
Authors: PISTUNOV Ihor , KIZILOVA Kseniia
Published: June 2023

The paper considers the possibility of setting differentiated corporate profit rates on foreign direct investment in various industries in Denmark in order to increase the country's economic growth.
The development of one of the authors regarding the determination of equilibrium prices in retail trade was taken as the main method. According to this method, prices were raised for those goods that sold better. On the contrary, the prices of low-demand goods decreased. A test of that technique in the retail trade proved that customers who bought goods that went up in price did not abandon those goods. On the other hand, the sales of low-demand goods increased, as a result of which the traders' incomes increased.
The adaptation of this principle for the reorganization of the taxation system was based on the idea that if the tax on a certain branch of the economy, which gives the largest income to the budget, is increased, investors will not refuse to invest it in the future, and a decrease in the tax on the branch that gives small deductions to the budget of the country, on the contrary , will attract additional investments.
In order to limit the possible changes in tax rates for various sectors of the Danish economy, five Danish economists were involved, who expressed their opinion on the permissible limits of tax rate changes.
The level of agreement between experts' opinions, determined by the Kendall concordance coefficient, was sufficient. The problem of mathematical programming was formulated in such a way that the total percentage of tax changes was equal to zero and that the tax change did not exceed the limits determined in advance by the experts.
The optimal calculation of corporate tax rates for each industry in Denmark was performed using 2022 data, showing the following results: Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 20.96%, Mining 20.92%, Manufacturing 22.2%, Utilities 22 ,44%, Construction 21.93%, Trade and transport 22.25% , Information and communication 22.62%, Finance and insurance 22.93%, Real estate transactions and lease of non-residential buildings 22.13%, Residential houses 22.11%, Other business services 22.25%, Government, education and health care 21.01%, Arts, entertainment and other services 22.25%.
