Published: June 2022

One of the many unresolved problems of the Ukrainian society after the war ends will be a recovery of all spheres of activity: economic, political, social. The same applies to higher education – a system of relations where professional competencies of human capital form. Business involves it in the process of value creation, along with other production factors. There is reason to believe that dual education technology will be useful in this regard, given the practice common in most developed economies. Relying on this working hypothesis, it has been done some attempts to determine the starting point of the movement to the outlined goal in the publication. As a result, the forms of dual education that have become widespread in our country are systematized and their characteristics are proposed. The conclusions are based on real cases and supported by an appeal to the information of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The events and indirect data described in them (dual education is not a separate object of statistical observation) give grounds for optimism and hopes for the development and enrichment of the accumulated experience. The attitude of the authors to the state position on the dual education in higher education introduction is described. On the one hand, the initiative is welcome. On the other hand, there are no attempts at real support. And neither at the institutional level, nor at the level of current financial incentives for relevant initiatives. Everything that happens in practice is the improvisation of stakeholders within the terms of the contracts concluded between them. It was justified the view that dual education should not become total in higher education institutions. Every student has the right to make an individual choice in favor of the form of education that suits him best in the democratic academic environment. Another important condition is that none of the components of dual learning should dominate the other. This means that a student's academic success is just as important as his or her success in mastering the practical skills of the profession. This should be taken into account during the current and final assessment of knowledge.

METHODS OF ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE COUNTRY
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Zubko Tetiana
Published: June 2022

In today’s conditions, domestic economic security is of paramount importance since it determines the directions for making key socio-economic decisions to strengthen the protection of the economy. In particular, the state economic security strongly affects the activities of domestic enterprises, which are constantly under the influence of many threats which result in significant losses and damages. Ukraine has chosen the path of European integration, and economic and social reforms have been implemented since 2016. As of today, not all reforms were carried out in full due to complications caused by the war against the Russian Federation. This makes the study of aspects of developing the domestic economic security, incl. in foreign trade relations, transformation problems, and opportunities for integration into the world economy, relevant. The works of foreign and domestic scientists have covered various aspects of the management of the state’s economic security. Without denying their significant contributions, there is no methodology for rapid assessment of the level of domestic economic security. Therefore, the article purpose is to develop a methodology for rapid assessment of the level of domestic economic security, which is based on the study of international trade and the principal statistical indicators of the economy. The article demonstrates the improvement of the methodological toolkit for assessing the economic security of the country; in particular, it proposes a methodology for rapid assessment. The assessment of the level of the country’s economic security rests on assessing indicators that rely on the figures of the development status of the country’s economy and its international trade. According to the study, there were shortcomings in ensuring the economic security of the country compared to the EU countries, which are the largest trading partners of Ukraine (Italy, Germany, and Poland). Following the express analysis of four European countries, we see that Ukraine “lags behind” but gradually developed during the period under study, as evidenced by the dynamics of changes in indicators. There is a need to focus on best practices in ensuring economic security, especially in the EU countries that are ahead of others in terms of development, and elaborate a system of recommendations for improving Ukraine’s development strategies.
ECONOMY AS A GLOСAL CONVERGENT-DIVERGENT SYSTEM
Authors:   Odesa National Technological University, Pavlov Oleksandr
Published: June 2022

The question of the consequences of economic globalization at the present stage of development is becoming not only the subject of political battles between its supporters and critics, but also sharp scientific discussions in the pages of scientific publications on economics. Most of their participants are of the opinion that globalization is not a linear process. This interpretation was made possible by taking into account the manifestation of the opposite trend in the form of economic integration. It is at the junction of global and local that a hybrid socio-spatial and economic phenomenon is formed ‒ glocalization, the essence of which is manifested through the combined development of economic convergence and the opposite trend, which is divergence. Against the background of these social phenomena, the economy appears as a glocal convergent-divergent system. Given this approach, the article formulates a goal to identify the economy as a global convergent-divergent system. To implement it, the essence of glocalization was determined, the interconnectedness of convergence and divergence as trends in global economic deve-lopment was revealed, and the components of the global convergent-divergent system were characterized. This, in turn, required a departure from the opposition of economic globalization and economic integration and convergence and divergence as opposing and contradictory processes, ie the analysis of these processes in the context of their close relationship. This, on the one hand, broadened the understanding of the essence of these phenomena, and on the other ‒ enriched the understanding of such a phenomenon as glocalization, which arose at the intersection of globalization and integration. Based on the characteristics of the components of the glocal economic system, the vector orientation of convergent-divergent relations is revealed. It is established that in these relations the tendency of difference between economic systems prevails, which is due to their previous and current state. It was found that economic convergence is real, not imaginary in relation to countries with optimal economic structure, which provides high added value and increasing returns, which are largely determined by technological capabilities of production. These provisions are relevant to the current state of the Ukrainian economic system, which requires the acceleration of its restructuring through the priority development of the machine-building industry on the basis of the latest technological modes. Based on the results of the study, certain generalizations were made and prospects for further scientific research in this area were outlined.

Authors:   Kherson National Technical University, Borovik Liubov
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the development of global and domestic renewable energy, summarizes research on renewable energy sources and outlines ways of strategic development of renewable energy in Ukraine. A number of technical-technological and organizational-economic measures aimed at improving the efficiency of energy potential of renewable energy sources have been identified. It is proved that at the present stage the use of renewable energy sources is growing. This indicates that in the long run, the use of renewable energy sources will allow producers to reduce financial costs for energy resources such as natural gas and coal, increase their income and increase the efficiency of domestic production, improve the environmental situation in the country. With the reduction of traditional energy resources and their rise in price, the main problem of the state is to ensure the country's energy security. Solving this problem, it focuses on energy from sources such as solar, wind, biological industrial and household waste, the use of hydro and geothermal energy, as well as the introduction of innovative energy-saving technologies in social production. Along with the increase in the use of non-fossil energy sources, the level of economic security of the country will increase, which will have a positive impact on human health. Given that renewable energy sources have an inexhaustible resource and are an important reserve for increasing Ukraine's energy independence, there is a need for research in the field of renewable energy. The aim of the article is to study promising ways to use renewable energy to the extent that would maximize the country's energy independence. Given the crisis in the country's energy sector and the exorbitant prices of fossil energy resources, efforts need to be made to develop and use renewable energy sources. Given that Ukraine has all the conditions for renewable energy, using sources such as sun, wind, biological waste and household waste, geothermal energy of the Earth, hydropower, etc., the country is able, in the strategic perspective, to occupy one of the leading places in the world for the development and use of renewable energy. The use of renewable energy sources and the introduction of resource-saving technologies in production can have a positive effect not only on reducing the cost of energy resources and increasing the competitiveness of domestic industrial and agricultural products, but also improving the ecological environment.

Published: June 2022

Modern forestry of Ukraine not only provides the national economy with wood for the production of building materials and other forest products, but also performs environmental and recreational functions. It is established that the management of forest enterprises can be considered as a system of management, methods of management of forests and forest areas and their use in such a way and with such intensity that ensure their biodiversity without harming other ecosystems. The existing problems in the management system are emphasized, recommendations are made on the main directions of improving the existing management system, and the formation and development of forest enterprises in Ukraine should take place by achieving competitive advantages and implementing new approaches. An important principle of forest management is the full and integrated use of raw materials derived from forests, because only the complexity of forest use involves the balanced use of all raw forest resources and their components. Based on foreign experience in forestry management, given the imperfections of current national legislation and the management system in our country, it should be noted that the priority areas for improving forest management are currently radical institutional changes, namely the choice of the organizational model of management and establishment of distribution of numerous functions; improvement of the financial and economic mechanism of forestry functioning; formation of an appropriate motivational mechanism in state forest management structures. An important direction in improving the management methods of forest enterprises remains the issue of forming a certification fund, which is gaining momentum every year and allows Ukrainian wood to reach the international level. The priority task of improving forest management should be the formation of a specific strategy for forestry development, which aims to ensure sustainable development of forestry by improving management efficiency, multi-purpose use of forest resources and useful properties of forests. Thus, the formation and development of forest enterprises in Ukraine should take place through the achievement of competitive advantages and the implementation of new organizational approaches

The article proves that in the modern period of management, any economic activity is associated with cyclical dynamics, which is directly related to investment activity. Therefore, one of the tasks of the state regulatory policy is to stimulate the economy in times of recession not only through government spending but also investment in priority areas. Given that, we should understand that the agro-industrial enterprises play a key role in the economic development of the state, so the urgent task is to assess capital investment in the agro-industrial complex, and determine the role of the state in investing. Based on the analysis of scientific literature sources, it was determined that the role of the state in this process, from the standpoint of regulatory activity, according to the authors is to conduct quality economic and socio-political reforms that will overcome market monopolization, shadow economy, corruption, judicial and law enforcement systems. Regarding the agro-industrial complex, it is necessary to take measures to stop agrarian raiding, development of agricultural infrastructure, state support of farms, etc. According to the results of the analysis, it was concluded that in 2019 at the enterprises of agro-industrial complex, in contrast to the whole economy, were a in a significant reduction in funding for capital expenditures. In the long run, this may lead to cyclical fluctuations in the industry, which is undesirable. The scientific novelty of this work is the further development of the methodology for assessing the investment of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine on the basis of intersectional comparative analysis, which in contrast to the existing substantiate the priorities of state support of enterprises of main and auxiliary activities.

Employee retention is one of the human resource management (HRM) issues. This study determines the factors that significantly influence employee retention amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employs complete enumeration and uses primary data. After which, the results are analyzed using descriptive statistics and econometric modeling. Results reveal that employees are satisfied to do their respective jobs (M=4.09, SD=0.48). In addition, they show that the determinants such as other income (p-value=0.024), length of service (p-value=0.099), as well as reward and recognition (p-value=0.015), are significant influences to employees’ retention. Hence, these conclude that better remuneration (and the increase thereof) are more likely to retain existing employees and attract employees from other organizations. Furthermore, the study specifically recommends that employee retention be improved by further refining reward and recognition that surely meet the needs and well-being of the employees.

Science research culture in basic education can be associated with science investigatory projects (SIPs). In relation to this, the paper establishes a theory on the development of SIP culture in basic education utilizing theory generation through axiomatic deductive approach based on steps prescribed by R. Padua (personal communication, November 17, 2014) which creates the theory that basic education institutions contribute to high productivity in SIPs. Simply because humans and non-human resources along with quality Science instruction are needed to yield such productivity. These attributes, resources, and Science instruction foster SIP culture. These are crucial aspects as schools capacitate students and teachers, produce the SIPs, and eventually disseminate these projects in science fairs.

Published: June 2022

The study is descriptive qualitative research that illustrates the circumstances and new dynamics contributing to the never-ending suicide occurrences. It described first-hand real-life experiences of the suicide-loss survivors to determine the contexts, reasons, and implications of suicide and recommend community-based intervention strategies. Purposive-criterion and convenient sampling methods were used to determine the respondents. Focused group discussion and in-depth interviews were conducted to gather data analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s six-phase guide. The findings revealed that the life experiences of the respondents are characterized by regret, pain, and bereavement. Suicides were committed due to dysfunctional families, economic hardships, breakdown of relationships, and drug abuse. The pain of suicide affected both the victim and their survivors and occurs within the psychosocial sphere. Interventions should therefore employ a familial, communitarian, and inter-institutional approach. Local Government Units (LGUs) are recommended to initiate a reach-out community-based suicide intervention program and debriefing services.

Authors: Kullgard Niclas , Holmqvist Rolf , Andersson Gerhard
Published: June 2022

Background

Why clients discontinue their psychotherapies has attracted more attention recently as it is a major problem for many healthcare services. Studies suggest that dropout rates may be affected by the mode of therapy, low-quality therapeutic alliance, low SES, and by conditions such personality disorders or substance abuse. The aims of the study were to investigate what happens in therapies which end in a dropout, and to estimate how common dropout is as reported by practicing clinicians.

Method

An online questionnaire was developed and completed by 116 therapists working in clinical settings. They were recruited via social media (Facebook and different online psychotherapy groups) in Sweden and worked with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) and Integrative Psychotherapy (IP).

Results

Psychotherapists rated the frequency of premature dropout in psychotherapy to be on average 8.89% (MD = 5, SD = 8.34, Range = 0-50%). The most common reasons for a dropout, as stated by the therapists, were that clients were not satisfied with the type of intervention offered, or that clients did not benefit from the treatment as they had expected. The most common feeling following a dropout was self-doubt.

Conclusion

In conclusion, premature dropout is common in clinical practice and has negative emotional consequences for therapists. Premature dropout may lead to feelings of self-doubt and powerlessness among therapists. The therapeutic alliance was mostly rated as good in dropout therapies. Further research is needed to validate the findings with data on the prevalence and subjective reasons behind a dropout from point of view of clients.

Background

Recent findings indicated that mental disorders are associated with both an up-regulation of negative affect and a down-regulation of positive affect (PA) as distinct processes. Established treatment approaches focus on the modification of problems and negative affect only. Experimental paradigms in healthy samples and research on strengths-based approaches showed that fostering PA may improve psychotherapy process and outcome. Specific and easily implementable interventions targeting PA in treatment sessions are scarce. Mental imagery was shown to be a promising strategy for boosting positive emotional experiences.

Method

The PACIfIC-study is planned as a longitudinal randomized-controlled trial in the context of cognitive behavioral therapy, implemented at a German outpatient training and research center. In the process analysis, trajectories of PA over the first twelve treatment sessions will be examined with weekly questionnaires. In the intervention analysis, a six-minute positive mental imagery intervention to enhance PA will be developed and tested. The intervention is implemented with loudspeakers at the beginning of each session for a standardized induction of PA. The experimental group will be compared to an active control group (neutral mental imagery) and treatment as usual. Procedures in all treatment arms are parallelized. Main outcomes after twelve sessions of psychotherapy will be psychosocial resources, resilience and self-esteem (theory-driven), as well as psychopathology and working alliance (secondary outcome). Multilevel modeling will be conducted to address the nested data structure.

Conclusion

Study results may have implications on the consideration of positive constructs in mental disorders and the implementation of strengths-based interventions in psychotherapy.

Perkara 3 Deklarasi mengenai Hak Orang Asal (DHOA) mengiktiraf hak penentuan kendiri orang asal yang turut merangkumi aspek ekonomi. Sungguhpun begitu, terdapat kajian yang mencukupi bahawa Orang Asli masih dibelenggu dengan isu ekonomi, dihimpit kemiskinan, ketiadaan pengiktirafan hak tanah Orang Asli dan terpinggir dari pembangunan arus perdana. Antara faktornya ialah kelompangan undang-undang dalam Akta Orang Asli 1954 (AOA) dan polisi pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli sedia ada tidak sepadan dengan keperluan mereka. Oleh yang demikian, objektif utama artikel ini ialah untuk menerangkan isu berkaitan pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli dan hak ekonomi orang asal di bawah DHOA seterusnya menganalisis pembangunan ekonomi masyarakat Maori di New Zealand dengan merujuk kepada piawaian di bawah DHOA dan undang-undang antarabangsa dengan menggunakan metodologi sosio-perundangan dan menganalisis data secara kualitatif. Artikel ini mendedahkan bahawa kedudukan pengiktirafan hak ekonomi Maori adalah lebih baik dan maju berbanding Orang Asli. Justeru, artikel ini mengemukakan tiga perkara yang wajar dipelajari daripada pengiktirafan hak ekonomi Maori seterusnya mengemukakan empat cadangan dari segi perundangan untuk penambahbaikan pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli seperti cadangan pindaan AOA, memperkasakan peranan JAKOA dan institusi berkaitan Orang Asli, mengiktiraf nilai, adat dan budaya serta aktiviti ekonomi Orang Asli. Kesimpulannya, artikel ini dapat memberi sumbangan dan impak yang fundamental ke arah pembangunan lestari Orang Asli, seterusnya membantu Malaysia menunaikan obligasi undang-undang antarabangsa.
