Metal-Conductive Polymer Core-Shell Nanowires: Electroless Reduction of Pd and Cu On Polypyrrole/DNA Templates Bearing 2-2'-Bipyridyl Groups
Authors: Almaky Mahdi , Hassanien Reda , Clegg William , Harrington Ross , Houlton Andrew , Horrocks Benjamin
Published: December 2020

A method for the preparation of conductive polymer nanowires bearing metal ion chelating 2,2’-bipyridyl groups is described. N-(3-pyrrol-1-yl-propyl)-2,2'-bipyridinium hexafluorophosphate (NP2PBH) was templated on λ-DNA in aqueous solution using FeCl3 as oxidant to initiate polymerization. The polyNP2PBH/DNA nanowires were then decorated with metals (Cu or Pd) by electroless deposition [Cu(NO3)2/ascorbate or PdCl42-/NaBH4]. UV-vis absorption spectra of the hybrid materials show the absorption peak due to the plasmon resonance of Cu at about 550 nm and a broad continuous band consistent with metallic Pd in the range 300−700 nm. The morphology, size and electrical properties of the hybrid nanostructures have been characterized using scanning probe techniques (atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning conductance microscopy (SCM) and conductive atomic force microscopy (cAFM)). The polyNP2PBH/DNA nanowires show a continuous, smooth and uniform appearance (mean diameter 5.0 nm). Cu deposits on polyNP2PBH/DNA nanowires by a nucleation and growth process that leads eventually to smooth, conductive Cu nanowires. In contrast, Pd deposits in a non-uniform manner on polyNP2PBH/DNA and has inconsistent electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of single Cu/polyNP2PBH/DNA nanowires was estimated to be 1.6 ± 0.27 S cm-1 which we suggest is limited by electron transfer between Cu grains.

Published: December 2020

Dieser Artikel zielte darauf ab, einen Ansatz in Bezug auf das Eigentumsrecht und seine direkten und indirekten Reflexe in die volle Ausübung der Domäne zu bringen. Da sie wussten, dass es kein Eigentum ohne Besitz oder Besitz ohne Eigentum gibt, wurde in diesem Zusammenhang überprüft, ob das Eigentumsrecht und das Eigentumsrecht voneinander unabhängig sind und aufgrund ihrer Elastizität oder ihres Umfangs, in dem sie in anderen Rechtszweigen impliziert, eine differenzierte Behandlung erhalten. Dies waren die allgemeinen Ziele, und in diesem Zusammenhang wurde die folgende Möglichkeit in Bezug auf das spezifische Ziel vorgeschlagen: Wären die Gesetze vom Licht des Schöpfungsismus inspiriert worden? Welche Schäden ergeben sich aus dem Gesetz Nr. 14,223/2006 in Bezug auf das Eigentums- und Besitzrecht? Angesichts der Hypothese wurde dieser Artikel durch den historischen jüdisch-christlichen Inhalt relevant, der den freien Willen des Geistes eines jeden Menschen respektierte. So wird die Forschung als induktive Methode charakterisiert und nichts verhindert die Integralität anderer Methoden durch zufällige oder nicht-zufällige Routen. Die Forschung hatte als Quelle von Referenzen: die Hilfe der Lehre, Der Rechtsprechung, Gesetze und CF/88. Da er also keinen aprioristischen Zweck hat, ist dieser Artikel für zukünftige Erkundungen offen.
Bali Traditional Architecture: Sustainability from the Perspective of Capital Concept
Authors: Suyoga I Putu Gede , Widyatmika Made Adi Adi , Juliasih Ni Ketut Ayu
Published: December 2020

This study aims to reveal the sustainability of Balinese traditional residential architectural practices which are based on the provisions of traditional ethnic Balinese social stratification and refers to the capital ownership in Generative Structural Theory from Pierre Bourdieu (economic, cultural, social and symbolic). At present, there are dynamics ownership and capital conversion in the traditional social strata which affect the sustainability of traditional residential architecture practices. The traditional Balinese residential architecture in this study is understood to be the spatial layout and traditional residential buildings of the Middle Bali era. Its sustainability today is seen from the concept of capital in the perspective of Bourdieu’s theory. The basic assumption of Bourdieu’s theory is basically that humans are in the field of social struggle to emerge victorious by competing with one another. This study is a qualitative research with interpretative descriptive method. Primary data were obtained from selected informants (purposive) and from field observations, as well as secondary data from the literature. The study findings show that traditional residential architecture practices in the Middle Bali era were strongly influenced by capital ownership (economic, cultural, social, and symbolic) with various forms of conversion to traditional Balinese aristocratic (triwangsa). Development at this time has opened the opportunity to control various capital for ordinary community (jabawangsa), so that the realm of Balinese traditional housing becomes a medium of struggle as well as a symbol of success in social struggle. On the other hand, the contestation of Balinese traditional residential architectural practices is a sustainability in the arena of social struggle within Balinese society today.
Natura, scienza, diritto: relazioni incrociate
Authors: D’Aloia Antonio
Published: December 2020

Natura, scienza, diritto si confrontano in un gioco di incroci in cui nessuna delle forze è immune dal condizionamento e dalle pressioni delle altre. L'ambizione della natura di essere una sorta di parametro oggettivo e presupposto cade di fronte alla presa d'atto che «la voce della natura (..) è una voce interpretata dall'uomo». Soprattutto la tecnica (la scienza che fa) appare in grado di riscrivere i confini e le proiezioni di ciò che è ‘naturale'. Il diritto prende atto delle nuove possibilità prodotte dallo sviluppo scientifico con uno sguardo che a sua volta è carico di sedimentazioni e di valori, e adegua le sue risorse ‘inventando' nuovi diritti che cambiano la cultura sociale e il modo di interpretare la natura e la scienza. Questo contributo prova a descrivere questo quadro di relazioni estremamente complesso, ragionando su una serie di temi al confine tra le tre grandi ‘forze' prima ri-chiamate
La presenza delle donne nei CDA italiani: un confronto tra imprese familiari e non familiari
Authors: Bannò Mariasole , Maria D’allura Giorgia
Published: December 2020

Il lavoro indaga in merito alla presenza delle donne nel CdA delle imprese familiari italiane. Le imprese familiari rappresentano la tipologia di impresa più diffusa a livello mondiale e si caratterizzano per la presenza della famiglia nella proprietà e nel management. Tale presenza diventa "voglia di mantenere" proprietà e management nel tempo al fine di realizzare obiettivi tipici della relazione tra famiglia e impresa. Si ipotizza che il peso della presenza femminile nelle imprese familiari a seguito dell'ingresso delle nuove generazioni con presenza di figlie, o della presenza di matrimoni con conseguente coinvolgimento di soggetti terzi, potrebbe essere maggiore rispetto alle non familiari. L'indagine esplorativa analizza un campione di 358 imprese italiane sia familiari sia non familiari.
Valorizzare le competenze genitoriali pagina dopo pagina
Authors: Paone Fiorella
Published: December 2020

I processi formativi di sostegno alla genitorialità in carcere sono una fondamentale azione di tutela del diritto a mantenere una relazione significativa fra figli/e e padri e madri detenuti/e. Attraverso la narrazione dell'esperienza di "Abbracciami con un libro. Percorso progettuale, di valorizzazione delle competenze genitoriali, rivolto ai papà-detenuti nella Casa Circondariale di Lanciano", promosso dalla sezione abruzzese dell'Associazione Italiana Biblioteche in ambito del programma nazionale Nati per Leggere nell'anno 2019/20, si vogliono definire scientificamente alcuni dei nodi concettuali più significativi in relazione alla genitorialità in ambito carcerario. Si vuole, inoltre, far emergere le principali caratteristiche pedagogico-didattiche di un processo di formativo finalizzato all'acquisizione di buone prassi genitoriali attraverso la strategia comunicazionale della lettura condivisa. Quest'ultima può, infatti, contribuire, seppur tenendo conto dei vincoli dell'istituzione carceraria, ad aiutare padri e madri detenuti/e a svolgere in modo qualitativamente positivo il proprio ruolo, sostenendo funzioni e competenze alla base della genitorialità responsabile ed efficace
L'educazione di genere tra teoria e prassi: itinerari di ricerca per l'infanzia
Authors: Buccini Francesca
Published: December 2020

Il superamento del gender gap nei percorsi di studio, in particolare in quelli scientifici, necessita di una formazione attenta alle differenze fin dai primi gradi dell'istruzione. L'interesse verso le differenti discipline presenti nel curricolo scolastico tende a manifestarsi proprio durante le prime fasi di scolarizzazione influenzando, in modo determinante, le scelte formative e professionali future. È fondamentale considerare l'influenza che la famiglia e la scuola esercitano nell'indirizzare, seppur in modo implicito, le bambine/ragazze verso un determinato percorso di studio e quindi poi professionale e riconoscere l'importanza dell'educazione soprattutto nella prima fase di vita. In questa prospettiva, alla luce delle recenti evidenze neuroscientifiche, il contributo intende riflettere sul ruolo che la scuola di base e i relativi ambienti di apprendimento possono svolgere nella decostruzione di stereotipi e pregiudizi attraverso gli stimoli offerti dai docenti che, grazie alle loro capacità relazionali, saranno in grado di orientare le pratiche educative e cogliere in ogni alunna/alunno l'unicità, il suo essere irripetibile e portatore della propria diversità
Does the Integrated Reporting's definition of human capital fit with the HR manager's perspective?
Authors: Cisi Maurizio , Alice Centrone Francesca , Corazza Laura
Published: December 2020

The assessment of the organisation's ability to create value over time through its human capital (HC) is crucial for every business. Several definitions of HC ex-ist, quite ambiguous and not unique. This fuzziness is impacting, in turn, the busi-ness practice. This study is grounded on the concept of HC, as defined by the Inte-grated Reporting (IR) and it is focused on testing the self-identification of HR managers with the IR definition. With this work, authors want to question the in-clusivity of the definition of HC, as well as, its practical suitability, recurring to a theoretical framework called dialogic-polylogic accounting. A first exploration of the HC definition from the IR framework has been con-ducted, representing the cause-effect links and some reflections on its semantics. Furthermore, the opinion of a purposive sample of key informants HR managers is explored through a qualitative content analysis on 19 semi-structured interviews. Such key informants have a first-hand knowledge about the community of Italian HR managers, and they have no experience in IR representing the voice of ex-cluded, but potential users. Despite an initial sympathetic reaction, the HC practi-tioners stressed an excessive technical rigidity in IR definition, quite distant from their field experience on HC.
Can a quantitative approach be mitigated? Proposals for the application of the "early warnings" required by the new Italian Insolvency Code
Authors: Bava Fabrizio , Cane Massimo , di Trana Melchior Gromis
Published: December 2020

In compliance with European regulations, the new Italian "Insolvency Code" introduced new tools to prevent future financial crises in businesses ("early warn-ings"). Their aim is to highlight future insolvency issues, to enable timely action in order to avert the potential crisis for as long as possible.V This mechanism will come into force on 15 August 2020. Based on a previous investigation that identified the most sensitive financial ratios for evaluating a go-ing concern, this study proposes and tests a possible approach which combines generic quantitative indicators with a case-by-case solution. A discriminant analysis was made on a pairwise sample of Italian non-listed small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). The proposed model overcomes the problem that arose from a combined interpretation of the indicators, and also it acts as a tool that can deter-mine the level of risk within each situation. This approach aims to limit the rigidity produced by common quantitative thresholds, thereby reducing false positives and negatives, ensuring an automatic reporting process that can preserve the efficiency of the early warning mechanism. Furthermore, our proposal is better suited to SMEs, since it is based on financial statements rather than forecasts.
La transizione separativa
Authors: Mombelli Marina
Published: December 2020

Nella mia attività clinica seguo spesso famiglie che si trovano nel mezzo della vicenda se-parativa e l'ottica di lavoro è tesa ad individuare segnali di evoluzione possibile, di risorse che, pur nel dolore di perdite subite e di progetti non pienamente realizzati, permettano di poter transitare ad una nuova fase di vita familiare. L'impressione ricorrente è che elementi impor-tanti relativi alla storia della relazione di coppia e riguardanti eventi critici che l'hanno attraversata, rimangano sottointesi, ostacolando di fatto il transito ad una nuova fase di vita e di rior-ganizzazione familiare. Il presente articolo ha lo scopo di individuare alcuni di questi elementi fondamentali e necessari affinché si possa promuovere il passaggio ad una risposta familiare nuova che consenta una reale crescita delle singole persone e dei legami.
Legami di dipendenza e problematiche separative
Authors: Norsa Diana
Published: December 2020

Il paradosso di Winnicott riguardo alla "capacità di essere solo" che il bambino raggiunge in presenza della madre, è applicato dall'autrice alla rete di relazioni familiari dentro cui si forma la soggettività. Vengono esaminati alcuni flash clinici per esemplificare gli effetti destabi-lizzanti di una mancata acquisizione della "capacità di essere solo in presenza", mostrando come non basti una separazione effettiva per scioglie il patto denegativo che è alla base di una dipendenza patologica. Vengono poi esaminati due casi letterari: Il riposo del guerriero romanzo utilizzato da Bleger per analizzare il legame simbiotico e le sue conseguenze catastrofiche e Forza maggiore, un film che descrive come una situazione traumatica avvenuta nella realtà innesca una crisi sentimentale di coppia e una rinnovata capacità di insight riguardo all'amore altruistico e l'amore egoistico.
Amanti di vita, amanti di morte: la violenza relazionale che non finisce sui giornali
Authors: Massa Ope Simona
Published: December 2020

L'articolo analizza il fenomeno della violenza relazionale "sottile" nel rapporto uomo-donna, e gli irretimenti derivanti dalla violenza simbolica, sedimentati storicamente nella psiche femminile; tali irretimenti forniscono l'elemento inconscio di collusione che espone la donna a numerose violazioni dell'alterità nel rapporto con l'uomo. A tal fine, l'autrice propone l'interpretazione in chiave simbolica di un noto film del regista W. Allen, Match Point (2005), in cui è rappresentata una situazione di violenza estrema nei confronti di una figura femminile da parte del partner maschile che, a causa del reciproco coinvolgimento sentimentale, sente minacciato il proprio equilibrio narcisistico e la sua scalata sociale. Si prospetta, dunque, un tradimento dell'anima che, come afferma il filosofo francese Lévinas, si manifesta attraverso "il volto dell'altro". Queste storie che sembrano riguardare l'ambito esclusivamente privato dei rapporti tra uomini e donne, in realtà hanno una corrispondenza nell'ambito della vita pubblica degli esseri umani, nella polis, perché ciò che accadenella psiche degli individui, nelle loro relazioni personali, è sempre anche una questione politica.
Cura e presa in carico della crisi adottiva
Authors: Vadilonga Francesco
Published: December 2020

Per lungo tempo si è voluto credere che i bambini collocati in adozione e i bambini vittime di traumi fossero due gruppi estranei tra loro; oggi alla luce dell'esperienza clinica abbiamo raggiunto la consapevolezza che si tratta degli stessi bambini osservati in differenti contesti. L'abbandono può essere considerato un'esperienza traumatica in quanto consiste in una perdita connotata da rifiuto; se la persona adottata non risolve il dolore per la perdita questo può avere un impatto disorganizzante. Pertanto se l'abbandono può essere considerato un trauma, la principale conseguenza post traumatica dell'abbandono può in alcune situazioni essere la dissociazione. Disconoscere la parte di sé spaventata, ferita, vulnerabile ha rappresentato una risposta adattiva che ha garantito la sopravvivenza. Questo "altro dentro di sé" sono le parti traumatizzate, disconosciute attraverso la perdita di consapevolezza e il distacco emotivo. Tramite la dissociazione i bambini continuano ad avere speranza per il futuro e ad andare avanti attraverso le avversità. Stabilire una connessione profonda tra le diverse parti, affinché tutte si sentano accolte e meritevoli, è il percorso da seguire in ogni adozione. Questo può portare al dissolversi della dissociazione ed aprire la strada a un incontro di grande importanza dal punto di vista emozionale tra figli e genitori adottivi.
Autoimmune diseases and gender gap
Authors: Bottaccioli Anna Giulia , Bottaccioli Francesco
Published: December 2020

The concept of autoimmunity is both counterintuitive and anti-paradigmatic: indeed, during the last century, the immune system has been viewed as a defence system against external microbial agents - "the" cause of illness. However, the scientific research has found out that the immune system shows a much higher complexity, similarly to the nervous system: in particular, the immune system has an outstanding ability to adapt to the environment, which is defined by all the stimuli coming from either the inside of the body or the external world. Nutrition, physical activity, pollution, psychological stress, social relationships, and microbes (both symbiotic and pathogens) can greatly influence the activation of the immune system: on the one hand, the immune cells could be induced to orchestrate efficient responses to potential threats; on the other hand, they could be induced to attack the tissues of the body. The authors, therefore, aim to briefly review the research that showed how the environment, more than genetic factors, could influence the immune system, in particular, expanding on the reasons why autoimmunity appears to be way more prevalent in women than in men.
Il caregiving nelle patologie dementigene. Dalla fatica della cura agli interventi integrati
Authors: Maccaferri Alessandra , Cozza Ada
Published: December 2020

L'allungarsi dell'aspettativa di vita e il conseguente invecchiamento della popolazione ha comportato una crescita esponenziale di soggetti affetti da malattie neurodegenerative in condizioni di cronicità e disabilità permanente. Sono molti i familiari che decidono di prendersi cura dei loro cari a casa, ma spesso nel decorso della malattia si assiste ad un carico della cura che implica un aumento dello stress con un notevole impatto sulla loro salute. Il caregiver diviene così il secondo paziente di cui gli operatori della salute dovrebbero prendersi cura, considerandolo nella sua interezza, complessità e storicità, e basandosi su una visione della persona in un'ottica integrata e multidisciplinare; ciò consentirebbe una presa in carico con risultati positivi non solo sul piano della salute fisica e psicologica, ma anche su quello economico e sociale. Al fine di raggiungere questo risultato, si propongono una serie di interventi multidisciplinari, la cui integrazione permetterebbe una presa in carico totale della persona che presta cure.
Progettazione organizzativa 4.0: verso una rivisitazione dei principi sociotecnici
Authors: Bartezzaghi Emilio , Cagliano Raffaella , Canterino Filomena , Gilardi Silvia , Guerci Marco , Shaba Emanuela
Published: December 2020

L'adozione delle tecnologie 4.0 comporta, per molte imprese, l'attivazione di processi di riprogettazione dell'organizzazione. Su questo tema, la teoria dei sistemi sociotecnici ha proposto alcuni principi di progettazione, volti a massimizzare le prestazioni organizzative e al contempo a preservare o sviluppare la qualità del lavoro degli operatori. Attraverso l'analisi di tre imprese che hanno investito nelle tecnologie digitali e contestualmente riprogettato le loro strutture organizzative, il presente studio fornisce evidenze in merito a come i principi di progettazione elaborati dalla teoria sociotecnica vengano oggi declinati, mostrando la possibilità che questa prospettiva possa (ri)diventare centrale sia nella teoria che nelle pratiche manageriali.
Land slugs in plant nurseries, a potential cause of dispersal in Argentina
Authors: Gutiérrez Gregoric D. E. , Daglio E. D. , de Lucía M. , Robinson D. G. , Darrigran G.
Published: December 2020

Commercial plant nurseries may serve as causes of dispersal of land snails and slugs (native and non-native) through the trade of plants and the related transport of eggs and small individuals that may pass unnoticed. Studies on the possible role of plant nurseries as a potential cause of dispersal of slugs in South America are lacking. To explore the role of garden centers, we collected and identified slugs in 12 commercial nurseries in two cities in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eight species of slugs were found. Based on our findings we validate the existence of Deroceras laeve and Belocaulus angustipes for Argentina and confirm the existence of Ambigolimax valentianus, which was recently cited for Argentina. We recommend that plant nurseries be regularly monitored given that snail and slug species are accidentally spread through trade in plants.

The article is aimed at studying aspects and methods of teaching international economic relations in higher education institutions of Ukraine. On analyzing the latest research and publications by scholars, the general theoretic foundations of professional training of future economists of international relations were considered. The article highlights and theoretically substantiates the problem of training future specialists of international economic relations in higher education institutions of Ukraine; the main aspects and methods for elimination of this problem are defined. The methods of teaching economic disciplines in universities, which are directed towards improving the educational process, are presented; the application of information technologies in the process of mastering the material is analyzed. Thus, the professional activity of the student is primarily connected with the analysis of specific factual material, figures, analysis, etc. However, such is the picture at first glance, and if you delve into the essence, it becomes clear that a professional – economist of international relations has to be able of figuring out people, actions and specific events in accordance with the information analyzed. In general, one can say that the purpose of economic education is to form modern economic thinking in the context of combining the ordering of economic reality and awareness of one’s place therein. In this regard, special attention should be paid to higher education, in particular the study of international economic relations, training of competitive specialists of this specialty. To do this, new approaches to the introduction of remote studying technologies in the conditions of credit and transfer system of organization of educational process should be implemented.

The subject of the research is theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the State-based regional development in Ukraine, which is influenced by the process of decentralization. The article describes the status and characteristic tendencies of unification of regions of Ukraine. The problems of «duplication» of administrative functions of subjects of the State-based regional policy, as well as establishment of interaction of the State bodies with local self-government are considered. Negative results from delegation of powers to local public authorities and transfer of financial resources to city budgets are disclosed. The article researches reasons for the imbalance of regions and its consequences according to different indicators, as well as the mechanism of the State-based regulation of balanced development of regions. It is determined that the regional development strategy should solve the real problems of the functioning of amalgamated hromadas and effectively implement decentralization processes. The place of information policy in the system of making effective managerial decisions is defined. The authors substantiate the objective need to form a more practical strategy and its possible impact on the development of local units and the country in general. The instruments of public administration in the process of abuse of power at the regional level are examined. A number of top-priority problems are specified, which should be solved in the process of implementation of the decentralization reform. In particular, the issue of «local oligarchy», abuse and corruption in the context of decentralization of budgets are considered. According to the results of the research, promising directions for improving the regional development strategy for the effective functioning of the capacity of territorial hromadas for the purpose of social and economic development of society are defined.

None of the existing theories of economic growth of regions has by now offered any opportunity for a complete solution to the problems. New realities of our time require new scientific approaches to substantiating the economic growth of regions, searching for determinants, leverages, principles. The article is aimed at theoretical-methodological substantiation for the economic growth of regions in modern conditions, defining the main determinants and principles of growth. Based on the analysis of the newest theories of economic growth of regions, it is stated that the main determinants of economic growth of regions in today’s conditions are a person with its human capital; the innovations that provide a breakthrough; informatization of all social and economic processes of society. A change in the emphasis of human capital has been made: if in the past attention has been focused on its educational component, then in modern conditions, knowledge, talent, creativity come to the fore. The emphasis in innovation development is the need for symbiosis of innovations and competitive advantages of territories. The peculiarity of the development of regions in modern conditions is their orientation to internal factors and the mechanisms of economic development, because economic growth is generated within the system. There was also a shift of emphasis from a stable development of regions to inclusive, which, in addition to the ecological component, takes into account the need to involve all members of society into solving problems of all territories. The determinants, goals, principles and levers of economic growth of regions are allocated in terms of the newest economic theories.

The article is aimed at studying the problems of employment of the young population of Ukraine, exercising a decisive impact on labor indicators in the domestic labor market. In particular, the authors carried out the study on employment of young people under the age of 29, among which the unemployment rate is high, which causes the outflow of personnel to foreign markets. Also, the structure of the status of work of the young population as of the first half of 2020 is examined; problems with youth employment are identified and the main ways to reduce youth unemployment are considered. According to the results of the accomplished research, it is determined that a significant contribution to solving the problems of youth employment can be carried out by the development of dual education in higher education institutions (HEI) and professional higher education institutions (PHEI). The publication defines the content of the dual educational component for the institution of higher education, the main advantages that the applicant of higher education with the dual system of education will receive. An important aspect of the carried out research is the strengthening of the role of employers in the system of educational and professional training of applicants of higher education, which will ensure a high level (not only theoretical, but also practical) of training of graduates of a HEI. Prospect for further scientific searches on this topic is to identify the main factors that create preconditions for the introduction of dual education in higher education institutions and the development of DE in technical HEIs.

The article is concerned with an analysis of Ukraine’s European integration challenges, which are considered from the position of the effectiveness of foreign trade, as well as in light of the institutional challenges of the European integration course. According to the results of research, both the dynamics and the structure of Ukraine’s foreign trade relations with the EU Member States, the CIS and Asia countries are analyzed. It is defined that the focus on the European Union market prevented domestic exporters from reaching the pre-crisis levels of 2013. The resource nature of the national exports to the EU is underlined. The high level of interdependence in the sphere of foreign trade relations with former partners of Ukraine in the CIS – the Russian Federation and Belarus, especially in the field of imports of fuel and energy resources, and export of nuclear reactors, boilers, machines, railway locomotives, products of inorganic chemistry, is emphasized. It is determined that Ukraine’s implementation of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement is at a low level of 43%. The authors characterize the main tendencies in Europe as to the quality of life of the population on the basis of two indicators - the proportion of households that barely make ends meet (Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Portugal, Romania), and have unsatisfactory living conditions (Cyprus, Latvia, Hungary, Portugal, Slovenia) - the values of which are much higher compared to the average level in the EU. The general conclusion on the ambiguity of the issue of the effectiveness of the national economy’s orientedness toward the market of the European Union has been drawn. The need to take into account the multi-vector nature of the modern globalized world in the process of researching the impact of European integration on the economic development of Ukraine is reasoned.

Published: December 2020

The article examines the impact of digitalization on the labor market. The transition to the digital economy is a natural process and requires modernization of employment. Therefore, digital employment is formed, which is implemented through online platforms. The new forms of employment are evolving, due to innovative processes and transformation of the economy as a whole. The non-standard employment gains wide spread in such forms as: freelancing; tv work; borrowed employment (personnel leasing, outsourcing, outstaffing). The positive and negative consequences of such a transition for the labor market are reflected in the presented publication. The experience of mass implementation of the remote format of work during the isolation regime caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is also considered. The economy’s focus on digital development leads to the reduction and further disappearance of some specialties, accompanied by the emergence of new ones. Already, internet banking, e-government, automatic accounting programs, etc. are becoming widespread. Rapid response to technological challenges can eliminate some of the negative consequences of these changes through training and retraining of employees. Automation and robotics of production processes will undoubtedly lead to an increase in unemployment, so now it is important to develop an effective employment policy. However, professions such as engineers, actors, teachers, managers, social workers are still impossible to replace with robots. Therefore, such activities require a high level of human capital, which becomes the most important resource of economic growth. Countries should be prepared to solve problems inherent in the digital economy. Stimulating investment in information and communication technologies (ICT) and additional innovations will contribute to the growth of productivity and employment.

Introduction of measures to improve the economic security of the enterprise on the bases of maturity of business processes allows to optimize the operational and investment activities of the enterprise and ensures its safety against the risks of inconsistent implementation of measures in accordance with the spheres of activity. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the maturity of the business processes of trade enterprise as a criterion for their economic security and on this basis the development of a system for assessing the economic security of the business processes of the enterprise. The ground for linkage of conceptions of process management and security management are the economic interests of the enterprise, which have to be protected (in terms of economic security) and implemented (in terms of process management). The attributes of maturity of business processes (safety of business process taking into account the materialization of the stakeholders’ interests, completeness of business process implementation) and the criteria for evaluation on their basis (effectiveness, efficiency, quality, completion of the management cycle) are allocated, which are taken into account for the formalization of the system of assessment of the level of economic security of the enterprise on the basis of maturity of their business processes. The developed system of indicators for assessment of business processes of trade enterprise allows to identify the level of maturity of business processes and determine on this basis the level of economic security of the enterprise. Prospects for further research in this direction are the substantiation of a scientific-methodological approach to the assessment of economic security of trade enterprise on the basis of maturity of its business processes.

The article defines the structural elements of the methodology for managing the economic security of enterprise as a scientific ground for studying this process to form an outlook on their essence and identifying the possibilities of application in managerial decisions. The conceptions and theories of methodology of economic security management of enterprise are systematized according to its major functional subsystems – informational, financial, personnel, innovation and investment. It is determined that a significant place among the elements of the methodology of the process in research belongs to the system of management principles, among which a number of fundamental (generally researched) and particular (specific) principles are allocated and described. The system, functional, process, structural, situational (optional), optimization and behavioral scientific approaches to the management of economic security of enterprise are singled out and the possibilities of their implementation are defined. It is substantiated that the management process is often considered as an aggregate of functions, i.e.: certain types of activity, in the process of which the influence on the management object is carried out to achieve the set goal. With this in mind, it is proposed to use a functional feature to systematize the methods of economic security management of enterprise in accordance with the functions of forecasting, planning, analysis, evaluation, organization and control. It is specified that the proposed elements of the methodology of economic security management of enterprise are complementary and consistent. At the same time, it is noted that the choice of a specific element of the methodology of the research process depends on many factors of influence – the specifics of the enterprise’s activity, its resource capabilities, targeted benchmarks, time frame, the existing level of economic security. It is generalized that awareness of the need for skillful use of methodological basis in the implementation of such a complex and multifaceted process as the management of economic security of enterprise is the guaranty to its successful operating and a stable development in today’s conditions.
