Published: May 2023

Ensuring the sustainability of the banking system is one of the key tasks of economic policy of countries, regardless of their level of economic development. The purpose of the article is to define and analyze existing approaches to assessing the financial sustainability of the banking system of Ukraine. When considering the essence of the terms «stability» and «sustainability», it is determined that they are closely related, but have certain nuances that need to be taken into account in the context of the financial condition of the banking system. The scientific literature uses different terms to describe the state of the system, its structure and processes, which differ from the approach to defining these terms in the context of the financial sector. A study of the factors affecting the financial sustainability of the banking system has shown that they can be divided into the external and internal factors. The external factors include economic, legal, political, competitive trends, technology, and automation. The internal factors include economic, organizational and technological aspects, as well as the quality of management. It is noted that various factors are interrelated and have a multidirectional impact on the indicators of financial sustainability of the banking system. It is defined that currently there are many methods for assessing the banking system and individual banks, which differ in various parameters and indicators. The author identifies several main approaches to assessing the sustainability of banking systems in the world countries, including stress testing of the banking sector, analysis of indicators of financial sustainability of banks, assessment of the system of regulation and supervision, assessment of the level of financial stability of banks, and risks. These approaches can be used to analyze and monitor the financial sustainability of the banking system both separately and in complex combination. There are also various complex indicators and indices, such as the Financial Condition Index (FCI) and the Financial Stress Index (FSI), which are used to reflect the financial stability of countries of the world. The Financial Stress Index (FSI), developed by the National Bank of Ukraine in 2017, which consists of four sub-indices and sets the weight of each sub-index according to the volume of each market, is also examined. The author proposes general directions for improving the financial stability of the Ukrainian banking system in terms of wartime, including strengthening regulatory policy, improving financial literacy of citizens, and developing digital payment infrastructure. The carried out study contributes to the understanding of the factors that affect the financial sustainability of the banking system of Ukraine and should be taken into account when developing strategies to ensure such stability in the future.

The article is aimed at theoretical substantiation of features of formation and development of management of foreign economic activity of enterprise. With the help of research of scientific works of contemporary scientists, the causes and advantages of the development of foreign economic activity, the main rules and principles of its implementation at the enterprise generally accepted by the legislation of Ukraine and society, were systematized. Further, the most important methods and measures for the formation of sustainable and effective development are defined. Successful implementation of foreign economic activity involves research and passing through the stages presented in the article. Enterprises that are not familiar with the basic principles of management often face the problem of organizing the management of foreign economic activity, because the presence of a quality product does not guarantee success in the international market. Of great importance is management that uses modern technologies and provides the ability to adapt to any conditions in order to achieve the best result. It is noted that it is important to select a qualified and experienced manager who is capable of constant improvement and of using the latest methods and technologies for the successful activities. Prospects for further research in this direction are the search for new management methods that help to adapt the enterprise to modern changes in the international market and strengthen competitiveness. Further development of foreign economic activity management opens up many opportunities and prospects and is a factor in supporting the economy of Ukraine.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze, along with further improvement and adaptation, the essence and importance of communications to the management system of enterprises and organizations in the current conditions of their functioning. The article analyzes and shows the role of communications in the functioning of enterprises depending on a particular type of enterprise activity. The analysis of existing studies allowed to identify the approaches from which scholars consider the concept of communication, namely: philosophical, social, linguistic, economic, and psychological. Among the most relevant definitions of «communication» for today’s events in Ukraine, the study chose the most appropriate interpretation of the concept of communication as a process by which we provide and transmit meaning in an attempt to create a common understanding. This process requires a huge set of skills. This interpretation helps to adapt the definition as accurately as possible to the events currently taking place in our country and in business, when it is necessary to reflect a common understanding of the situation. Also, based on the analysis of current definitions of the concept of «communication», the author has proposed his own vision of this concept and defined communication as an opportunity to unite like-minded people whose goal is to solve a certain problem with the possible further maintenance of relations to maintain a common understanding of a situation or event. In general, the results of the analysis show that the understanding of the content of communication in the management system of enterprises and organizations has certain peculiarities depending on their activities and the approach used for analysis. Managers at enterprises should take a more balanced approach to understanding the communication process, as this will ensure the formation of an internal microclimate in the team, successful interaction both within the organization and externally, and, ultimately, will help to increase the efficiency of the management process.

The article examines the essential characteristics of business planning and business plans, defines their role in the system of enterprise planning, the functional purpose and place of business plans in the process of preparing and promoting business projects. On the basis of theoretical studies of the concept of "entrepreneurship", it was determined that practically all activities of any commercial structure (organization whose purpose is to make a profit) in the market economy represent entrepreneurship. It was concluded that in order to build a clear system of enterprise plans, the term "business planning" should be used only in the context of developing business plans and consider it (business planning) as an independent type of technical and economic planning, along with tactical and strategic planning. The article examines the essence and relationship of the categories of "project", "business project" and "business plan". Various points of view regarding the important differences between a business plan and a business project are analyzed. A classification of business plans for business objects is given. The conducted analysis showed that the development of business projects largely determines the effectiveness of business planning as a tool for ensuring the economic security of enterprises.

Published: May 2023

Tourist center is a locality (village, city, landscape) that attracts tourists due to the availability of specific resources and is a tourist service center with stable tourist flows, the leading system for which is the appropriate transport and logistics system. Its components are transport and logistics infrastructure – roads, communications, railway stations (passenger terminals) and vehicles. In turn, transport and logistics provision of tourism, and directly of tourist centers, is manifested in the use of this infrastructure and vehicles and supply of the relevant services. The state of transport and logistics infrastructure of the tourist center provides a certain level of transport and logistics services for tourists, including cost, time, quality, and safety. The purpose of this study is to define the main types of projects for transport and logistics provision of tourist centers and establish their specifics as a basis for further development related to the management of this category of projects. The main types of projects of transport and logistics provision of tourist centers, which are related to the creation/modernization/development by types of transport: objects of transport and logistics infrastructure (roads, tracks, railway stations, passenger terminals); vehicle parks; relevant services (transport routes). It is determined that projects of transport and logistics provision of tourist centers are related to obtaining a product that can be important for different spheres (not only tourism) and at different levels, which substantiates the concepts of «multidimensionality» and «multilevelness» of these projects and determines the essence of their specificity. In addition, many projects in this category are implemented at the State level (or with partial provision by the State) and are not commercial. It is found that in many projects there is a need to coordinate the parameters of the transport and logistics infrastructure of adjacent tourist centers and transport hubs, which are basic for tourist flows of a particular tourist center or their combination. These properties lead to the need to assess the value of these projects, taking into account the existing specifics.

The article considers the issue of competitiveness of supply chains in the context of digital transformations and constant economic changes. The interpretation of the concept of competitiveness may differ depending on the object under study, therefore, in addition to the general definition of the concept of «competitiveness», an analysis of the concept of competitiveness of supply chains and competitiveness of the supply chain link in the contemporary literature is carried out and an own generalized definition of the concept is presented. Methods for determining the level of competitiveness used to assess the level of competitiveness of a product or enterprise are not always applicable to supply chains because of the specifics of their operation. The publication presents possible qualitative and quantitative methods for determining the level of competitiveness, such as: points method, rank method, integral assessment method, SWOT-analysis, heuristic methods, and others. Some of the methods, including the points method and SWOT analysis, have been adapted for supply chains and demonstrated in practical application using conditional examples for visibility. The characteristics influencing the competitiveness of the supply chain, in particular flexibility, reliability, efficiency, integration, have been allocated. Possible ways to improve these characteristics are provided. It is determined that improving the level of competitiveness of an individual link in the supply chain leads to an improvement in the level of competitiveness of the entire supply chain, and while improving the level of competitiveness of several links in the supply chain, a synergy effect can be observed in the context of competitiveness. In terms of competitiveness of the supply chain, it is appropriate to take into account the specifics of the functioning of the participant in the supply chain, its business processes, the number of incoming and outgoing material flows and flows of information. The article analyzes the last link in the supply chain – the last-mile logistics in e-commerce, which is gaining momentum in Ukraine, owing not least to the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale russian invasion in 2022. Ways to improve the level of competitiveness of the last link in the supply chain on the example of e-commerce are proposed.

Published: May 2023

An alternative learning framework utilizing a natural user interface (NUI) can be applied in the context of education for students whose needs are not catered for in the current learning environment in Malaysia. The alternative learning program would still follow the current subject syllabus, but with differences in how the lessons are delivered, learned and executed. A conceptual framework that enables the adoption of the alternative learning program using Microsoft Kinect in Malaysian education system was then proposed to minimize the gaps found in the current learning setting to cater for the special needs of physically disabled children in Malaysia, in particular, primary school children, using the National Curriculum as a guide. Since this is a new framework, the validity and reliability of the proposed framework will be analyzed. A usability test would also be conducted to gauge the acceptance of the proposed framework amongst the children.

PREDICTIVE POWER OF BIOLOGY TEACHER’S SELF-EFFICACY ON ACCEPTABILITY AND APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL AND HANDS-ON DISSECTIONS
Authors: Havlíčková Veronika , Šorgo Andrej , Bílek Martin
Published: May 2023

Hands-on dissections of animals are traditionally regarded as an essential part of biology education. Nowadays, regardless of the reported educational benefits, there is a gradual change in the concept and acceptance of hands-on dissection, leading in many cases to its abandonment in schools and its replacement with alternatives such as 3D models, figurines, plastination and computer-based alternatives. However, the position of hands-on dissection has recently been challenged, mostly by computer-supported alternatives. The aim of the study was to explore whether teacher self-efficacy can be recognized as a predictor of the application of the different kinds of animals in hands-on and virtual dissections in Biology lessons. Based on responses from 405 Czech Biology teachers there are differences in the acceptability and implementation of organisms for hands-on and virtual dissection. It was established, that self-efficacy is not a predictor of either the acceptability of organisms or actual behaviour in both variants of dissection.

REFLECTIVE PRACTICE: THE ONLINE TEACHING QUALITY IN THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Authors: Osmanović Zajić Jelena S. , Maksimović Jelena Ž. , Sretić Sanja R.
Published: May 2023

This research is focused on the necessity to determine the impact of reflective practice on the quality of teaching conducted by means of various network platforms since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this research was to examine teachers’ attitudes towards the applicative potentials of reflective practice considering the improvement of online teaching and learning. These attitudes were studied by means of the empirical method, i.e. the quantitative research method and the scaling technique. The sample comprised Serbian primary school teachers and was voluntary. The results of the research showed that teachers’ reflective practice influenced the quality of online teaching during the pandemic. The findings proved that the influence of reflective practice on the quality of online teaching was recognized by primary school teachers, but that it was not applied consistently and accordingly by all teachers. The obtained results confirmed that for the reflective practice to become an inherent attribute of contemporary teachers, it would be necessary that it be acquired both as part of teachers’ university education and their continuous professional training. There has been little research on reflective practice and its impact on the quality of teaching. Therefore, this study contributes to a further understanding of the reflective practice aspects that directly influence online teaching within the framework of the Serbian educational system.

Synthetic macrocycles specially the tetraazamacrocycles and their complexes have attracted considerable interests owing to their wide variety of applications. The ligand, 3, 10-C-meso- 3,5,7,7,10,12,14,14-octamethy1-1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene(L1), upon reaction with CdI2, Zn(ClO4)2, and Zn(CH3COO)2 produces corresponding square pyramidal cadmium (II) and zinc (II) complexes of formula [ML1X]Yn, (M = Cd or Zn; X = I, CH3COO or H2O; Y= I, ClO4 or CH3COO; n = 1 or 2). Among them, [CdL1I]I and [ZnL1(H2O)](ClO4)2 undergo substitution reactions with KSCN and NaNO2, respectively to produce octahedral trans- diisothiocyanatocadmium(II) complex, trans-[CdL1(NCS)2] and square pyramidal mononitratozinc(II) nitrate complex, [ZnL1(NO2)](NO2). Antifimgal and antibacterial activities of these complexes against some of phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria have been investigated in this study.

Evaluation of chromium (III) biosorption efficiency of rice husk and leftover tea waste
Authors: Anwar Sajid , Shehreen Saadlee , Roy Proyash
Published: May 2023

Chromium has now become a threat for environment and health due to its extensive use in leather tanning in Bangladesh. Considering easy availability and cost effectiveness, rice husk and leftover tea waste biomass were used as biosorbent for chromium (III) absorption. Through batch experiment, absorption efficiencies at different parameters (pH, chromium concentration, absorbent dosage, exposer time) were determined and measured by FAAS. The results showed that efficiencies of left over tea waste and rice husk were 87.14% and 85.71% respectively. Our study revealed that 7.5 gm/L biosorbent works best to absorb 0.5 mM chromium(III) solution under 45-60 minute exposer in room temperature at pH 4.0- 5.0. At natural condition, 72% and 78.4% chromium were absorbed from the raw tannery effluent by rice husk and tea waste respectively. FT-IR studies indicated the functional groups (O-H, C-H, C=C, C=O, C≡C and C≡N) might be involved in the sorption of Cr (III) onto leftover tea waste and rice husk biomass. The findings indicate that these biosorbents could be employed in the removal of Cr (III) from aqueous solutions and industrial effluents.

Se aplicaron dos instrumentos: por un lado, se aplicó una entrevista al analista responsable de esta unidad distrital para conocer lo servicios que ofrecen a la ciudadanía, y, por otro lado, para conocer el nivel de satisfacción de los usuarios se aplicó una encuesta basada en la guía metodológica para la medición y evaluación de la percepción de la calidad de los servicios públicos. Los resultados muestran que en esta unidad distrital existen varios inconvenientes tales como: un considerable índice de insatisfacción en algunos usuarios por falta de claridad de información brindada; malestar por porque los requerimientos o dudas por lo cual el usuario asiste a esta unidad distrital no son atendidos en su totalidad o en algunos de los casos demoran bastante tiempo. Todas las falencias encontradas pueden servir para que esta unidad distrital analice los procesos que no están haciendo de forma eficiente, y puedan mejorar así la eficiencia y eficacia que como servidores públicos tienen la obligación de ofrecerle a la ciudadanía.

El propósito de este trabajo fue examinar el impacto de las prácticas de gestión de calidad total (GC) en las actitudes relacionadas con la productividad de los empleados, como la participación laboral, la satisfacción laboral, la satisfacción profesional y el compromiso organizacional de los colaboradores del sector industrial de Tungurahua. El documento propone y prueba 4 hipótesis sobre la relación entre las prácticas de GC y la actitud relacionada con el trabajo. Los resultados indican que la capacitación y la educación tienen un efecto positivo significativo en la participación laboral, la satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizacional. El empoderamiento y el trabajo en equipo mejoran significativamente la participación laboral, la satisfacción laboral, la satisfacción profesional y el compromiso organizacional. La mejora continua y la prevención de problemas mejoran significativamente la satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizacional. El enfoque del cliente no contribuye a la participación laboral, la satisfacción laboral, la satisfacción profesional o el compromiso organizacional. El estudio no pudo evaluar las dimensiones más amplias de las prácticas de GC. Se concluye que, los gerentes deben ser conscientes de que las prácticas de GC tienen un efecto positivo en las actitudes relacionadas con el trabajo de los empleados (como la participación laboral, la satisfacción laboral, la satisfacción profesional y el compromiso organizacional).

La dismenorrea es una enfermedad ginecológica, que afecta a una gran cantidad de mujeres en edad fértil, se caracteriza por la presencia de dolor pélvico crónico durante el periodo menstrual, llegando a ser lo suficientemente incapacitante como para afectar de forma negativa la actividad cotidiana de la mujer, limitando su accionar en el ámbito social, personal y profesional. Mediante el estudio de normativa comparada de países de Asia, Europa y Latinoamérica, donde ya se ha aprobado o discutido la licencia por menstruaciones dolorosas, se analizará la viabilidad de incrementar una licencia remunerada por tres días al mes para las mujeres que prestan servicios laborales en Ecuador, que demuestren médicamente padecer dismenorrea. De tal manera que el Estado Ecuatoriano garantice el pleno ejercicio de los derechos, asegurando el bienestar de la mujer, conciliando su derecho a la salud y al trabajo, ya que brinda la posibilidad de ausentarse de manera justificada sin ninguna repercusión de sus derechos laborales.

La cadena logística es el proceso desde el aprovisionamiento de la materia prima para ser planificado, implementado para ser terminado y que cumpla con todas las características de calidad en el desarrollo de dos escenarios como almacenamiento y transporte. El presente estudio tuvo como  finalidad estudiar el proceso de selección de banano orgánico, lo cual genera causas que producen el deterioro y mal manejo de transportación interna hasta al puerto de embarque que produce daño a la fruta. De esta manera se implemento una investigación no experimental y transversal a través del aporte práctico y de campo, también se lleva a cabo la entrevista al jefe encargado de la empresa para la recopilación de datos de manera confiable sobre el banano rechazado en la cadena logística. Entre los principales hallazgos se constató en el centro de acopio de los pequeños productores de banano: bajo rendimiento de producción; disminución de ventas y oferta exportable. Otros factores que afectan al rechazo de la fruta provienen del productor por desconocimiento de la producción y malas prácticas del enfundado que produce la merma del banano, lo que significa un amplio margen de perdida en el proceso de comercialización. Como conclusión final se requiere elaborar estrategias en la cadena logística que fueron determinadas como factores principales en el diagrama de Ishikawa con la finalidad de reducir el banano rechazado en la asociación.
