CREENCIAS DE DOCENTES EN FORMACIÓN Y EN EJERCICIO ACERCA DE LA EDUCACIÓN CON PERSPECTIVA EN IDENTIDAD DE GÉNERO
Authors: Mendoza Lira Michelle Celinda , Standen Lillo Kristen , Pinto Lillo Javiera
Published: August 2023

El reconocimiento y el respeto hacia la diversidad de género se ha transformado en un importante desafío para el sistema educativo. La siguiente investigación tuvo por objetivo comprender las creencias de docentes en formación y en ejercicio acerca de la educación con perspectiva en identidad de género. Para ello, y desde un enfoque cualitativo de carácter fenomenológico, se realizaron diez entrevistas semiestructuradas: cinco a profesores(as) en formación y cinco a docentes en ejercicio, todos con experiencias educativas con estudiantes de la comunidad LGBTQ+. De las entrevistas analizadas por medio del análisis de contenido cualitativo emergieron cuatro categorías: (1) Definición de identidad de género; (2) Perfil del estudiante; (3) Incorporación de la identidad de género en el aula y (4) Formación en educación con perspectiva en identidad de género. Los principales hallazgos revelan creencias positivas respecto de la educación con enfoque en identidad de género, asociadas a la convicción de que el trabajo colaborativo de la comunidad escolar es esencial para un cambio de paradigma. No obstante, se advierte la falta de recursos teóricos y prácticos que se ajusten a las necesidades educativas del estudiantado LGBTQ+. Se concluye la necesidad de instaurar espacios formativos en esta materia tanto para el profesorado en formación como en ejercicio, con el propósito de avanzar hacia una educación igualitaria, justa e inclusiva.
On the Nonexistence of “InNCN” as an Indium Cyanamide for Industrial-Grade CO2 Electroreduction to Formic Acid
Authors: Dronskowski Richard
Published: August 2023

A recent paper in the field of chemical catalysis claims a new solid-state phase dubbed “InNCN” of which neither chemical analysis nor yield are known. Based on the chemical valence rules and the sparse published structural information, it is shown that there is no evidence for the existence of “InNCN”.
Accelerating Nano-XANES Imaging via Feature Selection
Authors: Tetef Samantha , Pattammattel Ajith , Chu Yong , Chan Maria , Seidler Gerald
Published: August 2023

We investigate feature selection algorithms to reduce experimental time of nanoscale imaging via X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy (nano-XANES imaging). Our approach is to decrease the required number of measurements in energy while retaining enough information to, for example, identify spatial domains and the corresponding crystallographic or chemical phase of each domain. We find sufficient accuracy in inferences when comparing predictions using the full energy point spectra to the reduced energy point subspectra recommended by feature selection. As a representative test case in the hard X-ray regime, we find that the total experimental time of nano-XANES imaging can be reduced by ~80% for a study of Fe-bearing mineral phases. These improvements capitalize on using the most common analysis procedure – linear combination fitting onto a reference library – to train the feature selection algorithm and thus learn the optimal measurements within this analysis context. We compare various feature selection algorithms such as Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), random forest, and decision tree, and find that RFE produces moderately better recommendations. We further explore practices to maintain reliable feature selection results, especially when there is large uncertainty in the system, thus requiring a more expansive reference library, resulting in high linear mutual dependence within the reference set. More generally, the class of spectroscopic imaging experiments that scan energy by energy (rather than collecting an entire spectrum at once) is well-addressed by feature selection, and our approach is equally applicable to the soft X-ray regime via Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) experiments.
Molecular Plastics Programming: Squaramide as a Building Block
Authors: Li Tielei , Wang Baochen , Chu Benfa , Zhu Jin
Published: August 2023

The plastics structure-property correspondence has been conventionally identified through either forward discovery chemistry approach or reverse analysis physics approach. The viewing of each monomer unit as a non-divisible entity limits these approaches as an inherently non-programmable tool. Herein, molecular plastics programming is reported as an effective prescriptive strategy for achieving programmable molecular-macroscopic correspondence. With each monomer envisioned as a divisible entity, constituted with building blocks (rigid, flexible, spacer coupling, linker), a set of guiding principles has been established for the predictive mapping of polymer chain architecture to physical properties (thermal; mechanical, brittle, ductile). Polymer main-chain rigid-flexible-building-block coupling is established as a feasible route toward mechanical activation and therefore ductility. Squaramide has been utilized as a building block for the design and synthesis of an amorphous-phased, ductile, and degradable plastic, showcasing molecular plastics programming as a promising platform for precision plastics engineering and sustainable polymer development.
In Crystallo Reactions with an Engineered Cytochrome P450 Peroxygenase
Authors: Lee Joel , Bruning John , Bell Stephen
Published: August 2023

The cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are a class of heme-thiolate enzymes that are able to insert oxygen into unactivated C-H bonds. These enzymes can be converted into peroxygenases via protein engineering which enables this activity to occur using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with-out the requirement for additional nicotinamide co-factors or partner proteins. This offers significant advantages in terms of applications and mechanistic studies. Here, we investigate whether soaking crystals of an engineered P450 peroxygenase with H2O2 enables the enzymatic reactions to occur within the crystal. A designed bacterial P450 peroxy-genase, CYP199A4 (T252E variant), which has enhanced activity for the O-demethylation of 4-methoxybenzoic acid using H2O2 was used. Crystals of T252E-CYP199A4 in complex with 4-methoxybenzoic acid were soaked with different concentrations of H2O2 for varying times to initiate an in crystallo O-demethylation reaction. Crystal structures of T252E-CYP199A4 showed a distinct loss of electron density that was consistent with the O-demethylated metabolite, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid when compared to the crystal structures of the same enzyme with the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid product and the 4-methoxybenzoic acid substrate bound. The visualisation of enzymatic catalysis in action is challenging in structural biology and the ability to start and monitor the reactions of P450 enzymes, or their progress, in crystallo by simply soaking crystals with H2O2 will enable new information on intermediates, such as product bound structures, and the mechanisms of these oxygenase reactions to be obtained.

Análise de desempenho da inferência fuzzy para avaliar apartamentos: estudo de caso na zona urbana de Belém
Authors: Lisboa Érico Gaspar , Chaves Junior Wankes Solony de Carvalho
Published: August 2023

A modelagem fuzzy é utilizada em estudos científicos para valorar imóveis, cujo desempenho é associado a comparações por inferência estatística, envoltória de dados e redes neurais artificiais. Embora apresentem bons desempenhos, a modelagem fuzzy não é normatizada, pelo que ainda carece de estudos que possam definir modelos a serem adotados. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar desempenhos de modelos fuzzy para valorar apartamentos. Considerou-se tipos de “fuzzificação” triangular (mftri), trapezoidal (mftrap) e gaussiana (mfgau) para área privativa, número de vagas de garagem, padrão construtivo, renda per capta por bairros, localização e valor unitário. Testou-se métodos clássicos de inferência fuzzy do tipo Mamdani (IFTM) e Larsen (IFTL), cujas regras foram construídas por consulta à especialistas. Métodos de defuzzificação centróide e bissetor foram avaliados. Para comparar aos valores observados, analisou-se a variabilidade fuzzy por intervalo interquartílico (IQR). Definiu-se que, quanto maior IQR maior a média de erro absoluto percentual (MAPE) da estimação fuzzy. Por 81 dados de apartamentos situados na zona urbana de Belém/PA, obteve-se correlação linear positiva entre IQR e MAPE. A diferença entre inferência fuzzy e estatística foi aceitável entre intervalos de ±10%. Deste modo, a valoração de 10 apartamentos na mesma localidade indicou que, modelos fuzzy com menores IQR e MAPE apresentaram mais diferenças aceitáveis. Pode-se concluir que, mesmo dependentes de regras, para utilizar modelos fuzzy deve-se priorizar “mfgau” e/ou “mftri”, IFTM e/ou IFTL e método centróide. Portanto, este estudo se apresentou como auxílio à utilização e eventual normatização de modelos fuzzy à valoração de bens imóveis.

Published: August 2023

The Oscilloscope ranges from the CRO (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) to DSOs (Digital Storage Oscilloscopes), which is a type of electronic test equipment that presents the dynamics of a time-varying signal as a two-dimensional pattern on a screen. Design of a virtual oscilloscope is a work that seeks to replicate the basics of power measurement of a physical oscilloscope, which is the most widely used general-purpose electronic test instrument in the laboratory but is plagued by limited supply due to high cost. As such this project bridges the gap between direct contact with the instrument and the usage of a virtual laboratory. Engineers have dealt with different spheres of this virtualization of oscilloscopes. However, this work managed to bring four different quantities; current, voltage, power, and resistance into one platform, reducing the cost and stress of having separate platforms. The work adopted Wavesurfer scope techniques and used complex AC circuits analysis to model a partial network virtualization platform, based on the ASP.NET Framework built using visual C# in Microsoft Visual Studio. The six initial inputs options: voltage and current (V-I), voltage and power (V-P), voltage and resistance (V-R), current and power (I-P), current and resistance (I-R), power and resistance (P-R) as measured on a meter of specified type (Averager or RMS), serve as physical inputs, which, combined with the operating mains frequency, is passed using dedicated algorithms to obtain the derivative Amplitudes.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: Cognitive function gradually deteriorating over time is a symptom of dementia. Increased delta and theta slow wave activity is associated with decreased cognitive function. The study aimed to determine the effect of oral nutritional supplementation containing phosphatidylserine, choline, and uridine on improving cognitive function and quantitative electroencephalographic features in older people with mild-moderate dementia. Method: A pre-experimental study with the design of one groups pretest-posttest at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Malang's psychogeriatric clinic from January to March 2020. A total research subjects were 19. Oral nutritional supplementation containing phosphatidylserine, choline, and uridine in milk is given for four weeks. Laboratory and cognitive function tests using MMSE and MoCA-Ina scores and QEEG examinations were performed before and after supplementation. Results: The MMSE and MoCA-Ina scores showed improved cognitive function after four weeks of supplementation with p<0.000 and p<0.000, respectively. The QEEG picture before supplementation showed that from 19 subjects, hyperactivity was obtained from the slow wave type, namely Delta waves (0.1-4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz), namely 63.16% and 89.47% of subjects. After supplementation, there was a decrease in hyperactivity to 31.58% and 47.37% with a significance of 0.006 and 0.003 (p<0.05), so it was concluded that there was a significant difference in the appearance of delta and theta waves on QEEG examination. Conclusion: Oral nutritional supplementation containing phosphatidylserine, choline, and uridine showed improvement in cognitive function, and quantitative electroencephalograph showed a significant difference in changes in delta and theta wave hyperactivity that affected attention improvement in cognitive domains of dementia subjects.

Published: August 2023

The Plum pox virus (PPV), is considered to be particularly serious in stone species, has appeared in research and documents since 1915 from which revelations emerge about the first symptoms appearing in orchards in central and eastern Europe, where the Plum pox virus (PPV) being so viral, it caused serious production losses in species such as plum, nectarine, cherry, almond, sour cherry, nectarine and last but not least apricot, where losses were 100%. The creation of new varieties with natural genetic resistance to Plum pox virus remains one of the most solid ways to limit the spread of this quarantine virus. The Elisa serological technique and the molecular PCR technique offer the possibility of highlighting the presence or absence of the virus in the plant. The present study illustrates the results of phenotyping tests (indexing on different rootstocks, Elisa and PCR) for some autochthonous cherry genotypes. Even if it is difficult to establish a definitive hypothesis regarding the genetic control of resistance to Plum pox virus in cherry, we still observe an important number of graft/rootstock combinations, such as: Margarit / Otesani 11, Mari de Malu / Otesani 11, Rosu de Mai/ Otesani 11, which showed a resistance to the artificial infection with Plum pox virus. These genotypes are of interest in future breeding works.

This paper looks at the in-depth investigation into improving risk management tactics against terrorism using a multifaceted strategy that incorporates security measures, game theory concepts, and economic diversity. The goal of the study is to provide a comprehensive and strong framework that tackles both immediate security issues and long-term viable counterterrorism strategies in Nigeria. To find vulnerabilities and anticipate future threats, the integration of security measures include improving intelligence collecting, international cooperation, and border restrictions. By incorporating game theory ideas, it is possible to analyse the tactical exchanges between security forces and terrorists, providing insights into how the opposition makes decisions and allowing for the deployment of preventive measures. The use of the two-person zero sum game, the prisoner’s dilemma which depicts the Nash Equilibrium named after the Nobel Laureate economist John Nash were used in explaining how the various terrorists attack can be curbed. Different strategies were also applied so as to enable one understand how the terrorists think, possibly attack their victims and also how their network works. The study discovered that the terrorists attack mainly the communities that produce agricultural products in commercial quantities which affects the agricultural economic diversification. The study also highlights the importance of economic diversification as a key element in mitigating terrorism's underlying causes. By encouraging economic expansion and development in fragile and volatile areas, this study also promotes economic growth, discouraging the extremist ideologies and strengthening local communities in Nigeria as a whole.

The Relationship between Attitudes Towards Supervision and Perceived Self-Efficacy in Physical Education Teaching Majors
Authors: YILMAZ Gülsüm , SARAÇ Leyla
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine whether physical education teacher candidates' self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes towards supervision differ according to gender and grade level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades) and whether there is a relationship between self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward supervision. A total of 147 teacher candidates, 72 women, and 75 men participated in the research. The mean age of female teacher candidates is 21.51, while it is 21.65 for males. The Demographic Information Form, Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, and Attitudes Toward Supervision Scale were used to collect data in the study. The findings obtained in the study revealed that the physical education teacher candidates' self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward supervision did not differ according to the variables of gender and grade levels, while the scores of perceived self-efficacy and attitudes toward supervision were high. In addition, it has been revealed that there is a positive and low-significant correlation between physical education teacher candidates’ self-efficacy perceptions and their attitudes toward supervision. As a result of the research, it was observed that the self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes of the physical education teacher candidates toward supervision were high, and the attitudes toward supervision increased as the perceived self-efficacy level increased.
Strategic Coordination in the 2021 Russian Legislative Election: Effects and Counterbalances
Authors: Gaivoronsky Yury
Published: August 2023

The study is devoted to strategic coordination represented as a list of “smart voting” candidates for single-member districts at the State Duma election on September 19, 2021. There is a great deal of skepticism in the literature that patterns of strategic voting can be found nationwide in Russia because of the prevalence of the personal vote in ticket splitting. The analysis of the election has confirmed that the effect of “smart voting” is rather small in contrast to the personal vote. Therefore, the attempt of the Russian non-systemic opposition to coordinate electorates strategically has not yet been an effective tool to mobilize voters on a country-wide scale. The study has also revealed strong counterbalances to “smart voting” like the incumbency advantage of United Russia’s nominees and the spoiler effect produced by candidates from the spoiler parties like the Communists of Russia and Party of Pensioners.
Analysing Competencies of Health Care Workers of Private Multispecialty Hospital toward Responsibility of Job the Training Need Analysis Approach
Authors: Dr. Gajanan Jagadish Salunkhe
Published: August 2023

The healthcare and hospital industry in India has grown rapidly. People are  conscious about their health and well-being. Multi-specialty and super-specialty hospitals have been established in many urban and semi-urban areas of our country. Several and super hospitals offer quality medical and technological services. There is no doubt that these hospitals have highly qualified doctors, but the support staff has been neglected. Nursing plays a key role  in this hospital industry. The need for training, which is the skills of the employee and the required training skills, has never been evaluated for nursing staff. A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a job needs analysis that aims to identify which training needs are truly a priority. Roles and responsibilities must be considered when assessing these training needs. Communicating these needs helps the organization use resources effectively and efficiently. It also helps to avoid unnecessary exercise. Analysis of training needs can also mean a systematic and comprehensive study of various problems to accurately identify the dimensions of any organizational problem. Therefore, the organization will determine whether the problem will be solved through a training program or in some other way. Organizational problems refer to a lack of skills or knowledge when normal results cannot be achieved; the above explanation explains the difference between real and situational performance.
Do communal narcissists care about intelligence
Authors: Leniarska Maria , Zajenkowski Marcin , Rogoza Radosław , Fatfouta Ramzi
Published: August 2023

Communal narcissism reflects the tendency to self-enhance in the communal domain. However, research indicates that the underlying self-motives in communal narcissism (e.g., the maintenance of grandiose self-views) are not uniquely communal, but also agentic. We investigated the relationship between facets of grandiose narcissism (i.e., agentic and communal narcissism) and an inherently agentic attribute – intelligence. Using two independent samples (N1 = 211, N2 = 311), we found communal and agentic narcissisms were positively related to subjective (i.e., self-assessed) intelligence. However, whereas agentic narcissism was unrelated to objective intelligence, communal narcissism was negatively related to it. Finally, communal and agentic narcissism predicted overestimation of objective intelligence.

Published: August 2023

We used computer vision (U-Net) model to leverage Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), Google Trends Search Interest (SI), and Twitter data to understand patterns with which people in Continental United States (CONUS) indicate awareness of and interest in droughts. We found significant statistical relationships between the occurrence of meteorological droughts (MD), as measured by SPEI, and SI on drought topics over CONUS. SI tends to lag MD by a period of 2-3 months, however relationships between MD and corresponding SI varies significantly over the CONUS in both space and time. People in states with increasingly dry conditions have become increasingly interested in drought topics. However, with worsening drought conditions in California, public SI on drought topics in the state has not increased significantly between 2016 and 2020, despite the overall SI being high. We additionally applied sentiment analysis on 5 million tweets related to droughts and found that public emotions towards drought have become more polarized.
Predicting age of acquisition for children’s early vocabulary in five languages using language model surprisal
Authors: Portelance Eva , Duan Yuguang , Frank Michael C. , Lupyan Gary
Published: August 2023

What makes a word easy to learn? Early-learned words are frequent and tend to name concrete referents. But words typically do not occur in isolation. Some words are predictable from their contexts; others less so. Here, we investigate whether predictability relates to when children start producing different words (Age of Acquisition; AoA). We operationalised predictability in terms of a word's surprisal in child directed speech, computed using n-gram and long-short-term-memory (LSTM) language models. Predictability derived from LSTMs was generally a better predictor than predictability derived from n-gram models. Across five languages, average surprisal was positively correlated with the AoA of predicates and function words, but not nouns. Controlling for concreteness and word frequency, more predictable predicates and function words were learned earlier. Differences in predictability between languages were associated with cross-linguistic differences in AoA: the same word (when it was a predicate) was produced earlier in languages where the word was more predictable.
Service Trade, Regional Specialization, and Welfare
Authors: Han Yuancheng , Miranda-Pinto Jorge , Tanaka Satoshi
Published: August 2023

How much does trade in services affect regional production specialization and welfare? Using unique Canadian trade data, we document that the size of inter-provincial service trade is comparable to that of good trade, and that net exports of services are highly correlated with the value-added share of tradable services across provinces. With a spatial model featuring domestic and international trade, we quantify the effects of service trade. Our results highlight that domestic service trade significantly promotes regional specialization, with heterogeneous welfare gains that reduce regional disparities. Conversely, international service trade generates more uniform welfare gains across provinces.
A naturalistic study on side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in psychiatric out-patient department
Authors: Jha Amit
Published: August 2023

Introduction: >Antidepressants are one of the most commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs. Six SSRIs are approved for various disorders. SSRIs have fewer side effects owing to its selective blocking the serotonin transporter. Nonetheless SSRI has several troublesome side effects, including nausea, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, sexual side effects, tachycardia, or weight gain.
Methodology: This cross-sectional comprised of 200 patients who were divided into two groups. Group 1 had participants who had received SSRI for less than 6 weeks duration and group 2 had patients who had taken SSRI for more than 6 months. Side effects of medications were recorded using UKU side effect rating scale and causality was ascertained using Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale.
Results: Among the early side effect group consisting of 100 patients, 40% of patients reported at least one side effect. Tension/inner unrest, nausea and vomiting and orgastic dysfunction was the most common side effect reported. 30% of patients in late side effect group had at least one side effect. Orgastic dysfunction, decreased sexual desire and weight gain were the main side effects reported. All the reported side effects were probably associated due to the prescribed SSRI, as inferred from Naranjo causality scoring system. 
Conclusion: Escitalopram was the most commonly prescribed SSRI among all the SSRIs. Paroxetine and fluvoxamine were the least prescribed SSRIs. Sertraline was found to cause maximum side effects in the early group and fluoxetine caused the most side effects in the late group. Tension/Inner unrest was the most commonly reported side effects followed by sexual side effects.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of the most prevalent causes of global burden of disease. It is associated with significant physical and mental health problems as well as social and economic consequences. Alcohol consumption is considered to be one of the most important preventable risk factors for adverse health outcomes, hence proper assessment is must for alcohol use disorder. The assessment pattern of alcohol use based on self-report of patients may not be always reliable due to recall bias and minimization highlighting the need of accurate biomarkers. In this narrative review we discuss about the different state biomarkers of alcohol, their properties and their utility in different settings during patient care. Despite many limitations traditional state markers are still useful and we recommend clinicians to familiarize themselves to use them as additional outcome measures in clinical interventions for AUDs and associated medical complications.

Relevance of the topic. The modern level of sports achievements requires purposeful development of physical qualities and occupies an important place in the physical education of young athletes of primary school age. School practice shows that there are cases when a student cannot achieve high results in performing strength exercises not because he does not have the necessary skills and technique of a particular exercise, but because of a lack of physical qualities of strength, endurance, and speed, coordination Etc. To date, a lot of scientific data has been accumulated, the analysis of which shows that the development of physical qualities occurs unevenly, the magnitudes of various growths are not the same in different age periods and differ both for boys and for girls. A significant number of scientific works are devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the development of physical qualities in school-age boys, depending on the level of their biological maturity. The purpose of the work. To experimentally substantiate the training program for the development of strength qualities in young weightlifters at the stage of preliminary basic training. Material and methods. The work includes a theoretical analysis and generalization of special scientific and methodical literature on the research problem; pedagogical observation, which included observing the physical and emotional state of schoolchildren during training; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Results of work. The developed training program provides for the creation of pedagogical conditions for the development of strength qualities and the consistent performance of technical elements from the weightlifting arsenal. The implementation of the proposed program throughout the experiment contributed to a statistically significant (р<0,05) improvement in the performance of technical elements such as barbell squats and half-squat jerks. The results in the push also increased significantly. Key conclusions. An experimental study confirmed the effectiveness of the implemented program for the development of strength in young weightlifters at the stage of initial training.

Важливим етапом переходу на інклюзивний розвиток національної економіки є виявлення проблем, що гальмують трансформаційні перетворення. Саме тому, оцінювання рівня сталого інклюзивного розвитку України допомагає визначити поточні проблеми, пов’язані з повноцінним переходом. Для відображення рівня сталого інклюзивного розвитку в окремій країні не має єдиного офіційного визначення або визначаючої організації. Концепція сталого розвитку та індекси, які його вимірюють, є предметом багатьох наукових та дослідницьких робіт. Різні університети, дослідницькі центри та неприбуткові організації можуть розробляти власні індекси сталого розвитку, враховуючи різні фактори та методики вимірювання. Метою статті є оцінювання рівня сталого інклюзивного розвитку України. Досліджено, що на глобальному рівні для оцінки сталого інклюзивного розвитку визначають Індекс сталого розвитку та Індекс інклюзивного розвитку. На підставі аналізу динаміки рейтингу України за даними індексами, доведено наявність певного, проте не значного прогресу, що вимагає подальших зусиль для зміцнення сталого розвитку країни та досягнення більш значущих поліпшень в економічному, соціальному та екологічному вимірах. Визначено, що бойові дії мають тривалий негативний вплив на економічний розвиток, особливо на найбідніші верстви населення. Загрозливим для національної економіки визначено відтік молоді з України та високий рівень відхилень в добробуті населення. Досліджено, що система освіти в Україні показує інклюзивне зростання з високим рівнем можливостей, а показники системи охорони здоров'я та допомоги безробітним відображають соціальний захист. В якості пріоритетів розвитку визначено необхідність покращення професійної підготовки, зниження адміністративного навантаження для бізнесу, розширення фінансування підприємців і боротьбу з корупцією. Частиною загальної національної стратегії визначено розвиток інклюзивної економіки на основі використання інклюзивних бізнес-моделей, що спрямовані на забезпечення соціальної когезії.
МОНІТОРИНГ АКТИВНОСТІ НА ВІТЧИЗНЯНОМУ РИНКУ ЖИТЛОВОЇ НЕРУХОМОСТІ У ВОЄННИЙ ПЕРІОД

У статті здійснено спробу розглянути стан та тенденції на житловому ринку нерухомості у довоєнний та воєнний періоди. Проведено критичний огляд наукових та інформаційних напрацювань за даною проблемою. Враховано стан ринку нерухомості у довоєнний період, проаналізовано напрями попиту на об’єкти житла. Окреслено зміни споживацьких уподобань на об’єкти житла у зв’язку з війною. Узято до уваги психологічні чинники впливу на споживацьку поведінку. Проведено моніторинг зростання та зменшення споживацької активності на об’єкти житла у низці регіонів України. Дано пояснення стратегії ділової активності забудовників об’єктів житла. Простежено пожвавлення об’єктів житлового будівництва за сучасних умов у тих регіонах, які є далекими від бойових дій. Обґрунтовано та концептуалізовано динаміку цін на об’єкти житлової нерухомості у певних регіонах. Окреслено ряд заходів, які державні уповноважені органи запрограмували та частково уже реалізовують. Відведено важливе місце у підтримці реалізувати низку необхідних реформ у частині інституціоналізації ринку житлової нерухомості. На даний момент нерухомість в Україні можна назвати вигідною, але ризиковою інвестицією. Звичайно, будь-який великий капітал вкрай насторожено ставиться до таких фактів. Державні уповноважені органи запрограмували та частково реалізовують концепцію доступної іпотеки та низку реформ у галузі нерухомості. Важливе місце у підтримці вітчизняного ринку нерухомості належить інвестиціям, а вірніше інвесторам. Саме інвестори покликані виконувати функцію експертів по моніторингу відновлення ринку житлової нерухомості у нашій державі. На разі, актуальним для України є формування нової системи інституціоналізації ринку. Ринки нерухомості в більшості країн не настільки організовані чи ефективні, як ринки інших, більш ліквідних інвестиційних інструментів. Окремі об’єкти нерухомості є унікальними і не є взаємозамінними, що робить оцінку інвестицій менш об’єктивною. На відміну від інших інвестицій, нерухомість фіксується в певному місці та отримує більшу частину своєї вартості від цього місця. Що стосується житлової нерухомості, відчуття безпеки району та кількість послуг чи зручностей поблизу можуть підвищити вартість нерухомості. З цієї причини економічна та соціальна політика держави має сприяти добробуту населення.
