Sinus pericranii in the setting of a posterior fossa pilocytic astrocytoma: illustrative case
Authors: Jung Youngkyung , Quon Jennifer L. , Drake James M.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare vascular anomaly, with an uncertain etiology. Often discovered as superficial lesions, they can be primary or secondary in nature. Herein, we report a rare case of SP in the setting of a large posterior fossa pilocytic astrocytoma associated with a significant venous network.

OBSERVATIONS

A 12-year-old male presented with acute clinical deterioration in extremis with a 2-month history of lethargy and headaches. Outside plain computed tomography imaging revealed a large posterior fossa cystic lesion, probably a tumor, with severe hydrocephalus. There was also a midline small skull defect at the opisthocranion, without visible vascular anomalies. An external ventricular drain was placed with rapid recovery. Contrast imaging revealed a large midline SP emanating from occipital bone with a large intraosseous, and subcutaneous venous plexus in the midline draining inferiorly into venous plexus around the craniocervical junction. A posterior fossa craniotomy without contrast imaging could have resulted in catastrophic hemorrhage. A small modified off-center craniotomy provided access to the tumor with a gross total excision.

LESSONS

SP is a rare but significant phenomenon. Its presence does not necessarily preclude resection of underlying tumors, provided that a careful preoperative assessment of the venous anomaly is undertaken.

The oxidation and exfoliation of graphitized carbon was successfully achieved using modified Hummer’s method. Graphene is a remarkable material, electrical, thermal and barrier properties, graphene–based nanocomposites have been area of research in the past decade. Graphene possesses a large number of materials parameters such as superior mechanical stiffness, strength and elasticity, very high electrical and thermal conductivity. The synthesis and physical properties of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide (GO-rGO) Nanocomposite. The GO-rGO Nanocomposite was prepared by a modified Hummer’s method and then reduced using hydrazine hydrate (reducing agent) to produce rGO.XRD spectrum reveal that crystalline structure for both GO and rGO. The d-spacing is observed to be reduced for rGO as compared to that for GO because of removal of oxygen containing functional groups. The optical property was analysed using UV-vis Visible and photoluminences(PL) spectroscopy.
The Dialogue of a Montanist with an Orthodox (CPG 2572)
Authors: Неманов А.Н.
Published: March 2023

В статье представлен перевод «Собеседования монтаниста и православного» (CPG 2572), греческого диалога IV в. В этом небольшом тексте доказываются заблуждения раннехристианского раскола монтанистов. Хотя авторство произведения не установлено диалог представляет один из редких памятников, полностью посвящённых опровержению монтанизма. Особого упоминания заслуживает цитируетмое в диалоге изречение Монтана, в котором тот отождествляет себя с Отцом, Сыном и Утешителем. Немалое число последователей лжепророка приняло этот тезис буквально, Бог представлялся одним Лицом. Православные полемисты IV в. опровергали указанные заблуждения словами Спасителя, подтверждающими раздельность Ипостасей. Православный собеседник, обладая хорошим знанием Писания, умело пользуется Библией в разговоре с оппонентом. Эти рассуждения актуальны и сегодня, так как черты монтанизма присущи некоторым современным сектантским движениям, таким, как пятидесятническое. «Собеседование» переводится на русский язык впервые.

The article presents a translation of the «Dialogue of a Montanist with an Orthodox» (CPG 2572), a short Greek piece of the 4th century BC. This text proves the fallacies of the early Christian schism of the Montanists. Although the authorship of the work has not been established, the Dialogue is one of the rare monuments entirely dedicated to the refutation of Montanism. Deserves special mention in the Dialogue an Montan's saying, in which he identi es himself with the Father, the Son, and the Comforter. A considerable number of followers of the false prophet took this thesis literally, God was represented by one Person. Orthodox polemicists of the 4th century refuted these misconceptions with the words of the Savior, con rming the separation of Hypostases. An Orthodox interlocutor, having a good knowledge of the Scriptures, skillfully uses the Bible in a conversation with an opponent. These considerations are still relevant today, since the features of Montanism are inherent in some modern sectarian movements, such as Pentecostal. The «Dialogue is translated into Russian for the rst time.

Vowing Moral Integrity
Authors: Allen Anita L.
Published: March 2023

The artist and analytic Kant scholar Adrian Piper has been aptly described as “one of the most important and influential cultural figures of our time. The award-winning work of installation and participatory performance art, Probable Trust Registry: Rules of the Game #1-3, implicitly poses philosophical questions of interest to contractarian philosophy and its critique, including whether through an art installation one can execute a genuine, morally binding commitment to be honest, authentic, and respectful of oneself. Especially for audiences who closely identify with her experiences, Piper’s artwork, like that of other important artists, has powerfully catalytic ethical potential. Motivated by admiration for the artist and a perceived conflictual relationship between women of color and conventional discourses of moral solidarity, I offer three different ways to understand Piper’s Probable Trust Registry. I suggest that Piper’s thought-provoking artwork, which implicitly nods at John Rawls and Charles Mills, can be interpreted as asking its audiences to agree to selections from a menu of rules that, in the alternative, embrace universal moral imperatives, predict future moral integrity, or vow moral integrity.
Idyll and
fissure – Ivo Kalinski's poetological texts about kajkavian children's poetry
1992 - 2003
Authors: Beck Boris
Published: March 2023

The topic of this paper is the analysis of a series of nine texts by Ivo Kalinski dedicated to the Dragutin Domjanić Festivity of Kajkavian Children's Poetry, which is held in Sveti Ivan Zelina. The articles were written each year from 1992 to 2003 and published in the book “Anatomija kmice ili Umjetnina teksta – zanos i tjeskoba“ (2004). These are poetological articles in which Kalinski makes various observations about children's poetic texts, from which his starting points will be extracted in order to gain insight into his description and prescription of elementary school children's poetry. As the academic papers predicts, most of the poems thematize the closest environment of children, from family, house and yard, through the landscape, flora and fauna of the homeland, to the opening of themes of work and transience. In this way, nativeness is manifested as the core topos of children's poetry, significant because of the constitution of their identity, and excessively present because of their short and narrow life experience. But while the academic papers do not question children's thematization of the homeland from an aesthetic point of view, Kalinski writes about it and evaluates such works. Although other researchers of children's poetry do not see that there could be any steps beyond the horizon of nativeness, either in terms of content or form, Kalinski challenges the traditional approach here as well. Namely, in a series of examples, he points to the innovation of themes (social, emotional, spiritual) and to original poetic procedures, both in composition and in the lexic that deviates from the traditional props. Kalinski thus argues that in the more successful poems there is a split in both the poetic subject and the art, which leads the poetic creativity of young people in the direction of reflection, and points to a postmodern sensibility. In conclusion, in his texts, Kalinski provides a coherent and consistent poetics of Kajkavian children's poetry, which is based on nativeness, but conscious authors manage to establish an emotional connection between expression and content, which creates authentic texts that move off the beaten and uninteresting paths and affirm the authentic children's voice as a poetic and conceptual novelty.

Fishermen’s perception of interactions between fisheries and cetaceans in the Bulgarian Black Sea area
Authors: Zaharieva Zornitsa , Spasova Venislava
Published: March 2023

The eastern part of Bulgaria entirely borders the Black Sea, which defines it as a maritime country. The Bulgarian coast is an important fishing region for local people and has a high potential for interactions between fisheries and cetaceans. Depredation caused by cetaceans and damage to fishing gears can potentially lead to substantial economic loss for fishermen, while cetacean bycatch raises conservation concerns. Over the period 2016 - 2019, we conducted face-to-face interviews with fishermen in local fishing areas to better understand the fisheries – cetacean interactions in the Bulgarian part of the Black Sea. The research objectives were to identify the current fishermen’s attitudes toward cetaceans, understand the damage caused by local marine mammals to the different types of fishing gear, and gather fishermen’s proposals to resolve the problems. To record all of this, a specially designed structured survey was conducted. The results showed that fishermen’s attitude towards cetaceans was mostly positive and was not influenced by the type of fishing gear used. We found that fisheries - cetacean interactions are frequent, especially with dalyans gear and set gillnets. Cetacean bycatch mortality was reported to be highest for set gillnets, and the most vulnerable species was the Phocoena phocoena. Although interview data may be biased due to differences in perceptions and experience of the interviewees, and therefore should be interpreted with caution, this method allowed us to cover multiple types of interactions between cetaceans and Bulgarian fisheries.

FEATURES OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Kondratiuk Yuliia
Published: March 2023

Intellectual capital as an economic category in modern studies is interpreted mainly as a determining factor of competitiveness and welfare of society. Such a position became a scientific justification for the priority of tasks of the state social and economic policy regarding the formation of favorable conditions for the reproduction of human intellectual capital in general, the intellectualization of labor, the growth of the scale and efficiency of investments in human capital. At the present stage of development of post-industrial society in almost all spheres of the national economy there is a desire for development and innovation. This encourages economic science to increase interest in human intelligence, which is realized through human capital. After all, human abilities, knowledge, skills, op-portunities, intellectual development are the basis for the formation of an innovative society and the economy of intellectual capital. The ability to effectively and efficiently apply new relevant knowledge makes it possible to effectively identify and strengthen comparative competitive advantages, to align internal development opportunities with external ones generated by the market. Since the concept of the formation and development of intellectual capital is insufficiently characterized in the already published scientific works, the purpose of this study is to determine the main aspects of the structure, main features and characteristics of the intellectual capital of construction enterprises in the domestic market. The main results of the conducted research are the determination of the main role of intellectual capital at the national level, the mechanism of intellectual capital management of construction enterprises is characterized, and the impact of the intellectual component on the development of the construction industry as a whole is determined as a result of the analysis of the main functions. In the process of forming a modern innovative society, the need for the formation of a new economy – an economy of intellectual capital – remains relevant, therefore there is a need to further improve and in-depth study of this problem, taking into account the needs of modern socio-economic development of society.

The high degree of variability of the external environment, which affects the effectiveness of the management of the foreign economic activity of enterprises of the pulp and paper industry of Ukraine and ensuring its strategic development in the long term, determines the relevance of the research goal. This requires the development of scientific and practical recommendations for the strategic development of the enterprise's foreign economic activity, one of the first steps to which is the determination of the prerequisites for improving such a strategy. The production of pulp and paper products is an important aspect for the normal functioning of economic entities, but it is not the main sphere of the economy of Ukraine. Therefore, in Ukraine, there is a problem of full supply of all business entities with the products of the pulp and paper industry, and the study of its state and development trends in order to reveal factors and factors that suspend or make impossible the effective activity of enterprises operating in this field is relevant. The main trends in the development of the pulp and paper industry of Ukraine have been determined: a decrease in production, consumption and sales of products in 2018–2020, dependence on supplies from foreign contractors. The MarketScore index of "Ukrainian Paper" LLC was determined, which decreased from 3.7 in 2017 to 3.3 in 2020, which shows that the company has high market power, occupies leading positions in the market, but is gradually losing them. The conducted SWOT analysis of the enterprise showed that the strengths provided it with a leading position in the market and determine the potential for development, the weaknesses create a number of problems, in particular, wear and tear of equipment, which leads to an increase in the cost of manufactured products and poor maneuverability of production in accordance with market requirements; weak policy of product promotion in foreign markets; low management flexibility. The prerequisites for improving the strategic management of the foreign economic activity of Ukrainian Paper LLC have been determined: external prerequisites (change in national policy, strategic goals for the development of the pulp and paper industry, establishment of international trade relations that will allow Ukraine to annually increase the volume of product sales in this industry), prerequisites, which are based on the identification of the company's risks (level of saturation of the domestic market, instability of prices for pulp and paper products, fraudulent activity, etc.).

A classification of budget security threats was formed according to the following characteristics: source of occurrence (external environment of the state; internal environment of the state); sphere of causation (economic, political, legal, social, natural, man-made, etc.); reasons (objective, subjective, objective-subjective); sphere of occurrence (environment, market, budget system, budget process, professional activity); scale (regional, national, international); form of manifestation (obvious, hidden); level of the budget system (state budget, local budget); object in the structure of budgets (budget revenues, budget expenditures, budget lending, budget debt, budget financing (in terms of general and special funds)); significance in relation to the budget (insignificant, acceptable, marginal, unacceptable, extremely unacceptable); degree of danger (dangerous and especially dangerous); the level of budget losses (allowable, justified, unacceptable); the nature of budget losses (which leads to lost profits; which leads to budget losses; which leads to either losses or revenues); periodicity (random, permanent, one-time); the possibility of assessment (those that are subject to quantitative assessment; those that cannot be assessed); correlations to indicative indicators of budgetary security (by their types); the possibility of prediction and bias (predicted, unpredicted); probability (unlikely, probable, highly probable, real); structure (fixed, dynamic); openness of information (public, secret). On the basis of the proposed classification of threats, in particular, the sign of "significance in relation to the budget", the following logical correlation of indicators of budget security and corresponding risks is proposed. The following methods of responding to budgetary security risks are recommended for use: the method of avoiding the risk of reducing budgetary security, the method of reducing the risk of reducing budgetary security, the method of transforming the risks of reducing budgetary security, and the method of compensating the risks of reducing budgetary security.

The article examines the main absolute (volume of exports, imports, and trade balance) and relative (marketability index, net trade index, coefficient of export coverage, export quota, import quota, foreign trade quota) indicators of Slovakia's development, and performs comparative analysis of the foreign trade in Slovakia and Ukraine. On the basis of the conducted research, conclusions were made about the level of development of foreign trade activity, including the assessment of the level of openness of both countries, the degree of their dependence on world markets and the degree of participation in the international division of labour. In the research process, linear diagrams were used to display the dynamics of Slovakia's main foreign trade indicators; sector diagrams – to display the commodity structure of exports and imports of Slovakia; bar charts – to compare the indicators of development of foreign trade activity of Ukraine and Slovakia. In the article, the main indicators of Ukraine's foreign trade activity are calculated taking into account the average exchange rate of the Ukrainian hryvnia to the euro for each specific year (2012–2021), which can be found on the official website of the National Bank of Ukraine. Ukraine and Slovakia are neighbouring countries, and Slovakia is a member state of the European Union. Thus, Ukraine is interested in promoting good neighbourly foreign trade relations between countries, as this will contribute to further integration of Ukraine into the European Union. The study of the indicators of foreign trade activity of Slovakia and their comparison with the indicators of Ukraine will make it possible to compare the positions of both countries on the world arena and to identify shortcomings in the foreign trade activity of Ukraine. In addition, the analysis of the commodity structure of Slovakia's exports and imports will make it possible to identify potential opportunities for increasing foreign trade between the two countries.
OPTIMIZATION OF AUDITING MECHANISMS IN THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY

Published: March 2023

The activity of enterprises in the field of livestock industry differs from other presence of various natural factors, the impact of which must be taken into account during the accounting process. In the process of their functioning they carry out economic operations, most of which are connected with the reflection of biological assets. For each enterprise they are unique accounting objects, and the efficiency of their use and management depends on the volume of animal products, results of activity, level of capital use. The process of accounting and audit of the availability and movement of such assets is rather complicated, because they are constantly changing, have an exceptional character, acquire age-old maturity, etc. Lack of effective experience in livestock industry audit, the lack of a normative base for carrying out audit activities in the field of livestock industry, the low level of audit activity in this sphere is a prerequisite for the introduction of rational auditing mechanisms in the livestock industry. The complexity and non-transparent approaches to the accounting registers of economic operations in the livestock industry determine the difficulty of carrying out audit in the livestock industry. Today, the problem of consolidation of efforts of specialists in the livestock industry, accountants and auditors in the direction of effective auditing in this sphere needs to be solved. During the analysis of scientific researches we have come to a conclusion, that the main emphasis is placed on revealing in the course of audit of economic entities in the sphere of livestock industry possible violations in the accounting of biological assets, carrying out of economic operations, display of movement and replenishment of biological assets, but little attention is paid to developing universal methods and mechanisms of organization of effective audit in the livestock industry. That is why our research has set a goal to theoretically justify the methodology of optimization of auditing mechanisms in the livestock industry. Carrying out of audit at the enterprises of livestock industry is not only a way of thorough anaysis and evaluation of their activity, identification of shortcomings, but also a means of creating image positions of the business entity on the market. We propose to follow the principles of professional approach, objectivity, to organize the audit procedure according to certain stages. It is advisable to take into account the substantiation of the accounting of biological assets when carrying out an audit in cattle breeding, their value statements, movements of biological assets within different technological groups, harmonization of data, received in the course of inventory, and information on zoning accounting, expert opinion of experts working in the livestock industry.

Personnel management strategy is a structural element of the strategic management system of the enterprise. Nowadays, strategic management is crucial for the development and expansion of all organizations, as it is a complex process of developing and formulating short-term and long-term initiatives aimed at optimally achieving the organization's goals. Only a strategic approach to personnel management can become a constructive basis for resolving conflicts between the interests of the employee and the interests of the organization. A significant transformation of the subject area of the study requires a review of the conceptual foundations of strategic management and the determination of its features in the aspect of the organization's personnel. The analysis of publications, which was carried out in the article, showed that today not all managers are convinced of the need to implement strategic management of enterprises in general and its human resources in particular. Most often, they explain their doubt by the impossibility of ensuring its reliability due to the constantly changing situation in the economy. However, in our opinion, it is precisely this current situation in Ukraine that should intensify the desire of the management of enterprises to master the methods of making strategic decisions. After all, as the experience of successfully operating foreign companies shows, it is the presence of the right strategy that ensures survival in conditions of increasing market uncertainty.The article examines the essence of the concept of "strategic management" and the evolution of this issue, identifies and analyzes the features of strategic personnel management in modern conditions, its weaknesses and the problems that this process faces. The article also compared the content of operational, tactical and strategic personnel management. The main stages and tasks facing strategic personnel management are analyzed. Conclusions are made regarding the future development of strategic personnel management.

Published: March 2023

The aim of the article is to study the features of different models of consumer behavior in order to model their purchasing response and the formation of long-term consumer loyalty to a particular brand. The model of consumer behavior is defined as a description of the relationship between the actions of the consumer of goods and the motives behind these actions, the characteristics of the consumer and the state of the environment in which these actions are carried out. The process of purchasing a product is considered as an action. The study analyzes foreign and domestic models of consumer behavior, approaches to modeling consumer behavior. The motives of product choice, the degree of awareness and independence of choice, the degree of consumer satisfaction with the product, directions and possibilities of influencing consumer choice are studied. Most models of consumer behavior are based on the study of lifestyles of different social strata. Three components of a person's way of life are considered: actions, interests and thoughts. Modeling of consumer behavior is based on the concept of «7 Os»: market participants, their goals; market items; companies present in the market; market operating processes; acquisition opportunities; channels that form methodological approaches to modeling consumer behavior. It has been proven that one of the main factors influencing the purchase decision is consumer loyalty – a system of long-term relationship between supplier and buyer, in which each party refuses to maximize its profits in favor of maintaining this relationship. The greatest contribution to the formation of consumer loyalty have a positive experience of consumption, rational evaluation associations with the brand and the overall strength of all associations with the brand, which sets it apart from alternatives. The formation of consumer loyalty is possible due to the integration into the model of factors of consumer motivation and situational opportunities, taking into account which will achieve greater predictability in predicting customer behavior. The paper proposes an algorithm for consumer loyalty management, which includes the implementation of the following steps: organization of a continuous system of customer service; providing continuous feedback from customers; involvement of customers in regular communication with the brand; creation of a personalized scenario of the client's needs development and formation of a narrowly segmented scenario of his development; encouraging customers to recommend a brand and building a community around the brand among customers who share the business idea. Thus, modeling consumer behavior allows us to understand how, on the one hand, consumers react to the motivating factors of marketing, and on the other – what is a significant competitive advantage for the company.

The key to their success was large-scale state support for fundamental and applied research and development, effective technological clustering of national economies, their deep integration into the global innovation space, as well as the development of deep cooperative ties with leading Western corporations and the systematic modernization of national university education systems.
