Increasing Isolation of LGBTQI+ Asylum Claimants During Covid-19 in the UK
Authors: Tschalaer Mengia
Published: August 2022

The aim of this article is to discuss how the covid-19 pandemic exacerbates inequalities and social isolation by examining the UK Government approach to providing asylum claimants’ access to safe accommodation and health services on the one hand, and charities support of particularly lesbian, gay, bi- and trans-sexual, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) claimants to gain/sustain access to social spaces and social support on the other. The data used for the writing of this article is based on 14 semi-structured interviews conducted between August 2020 and April 2021 with social/charity workers, asylum claimants and refugees affiliated with NGO help organisations in Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Brighton, Belfast, and London. This article argues that that the Home Office’s policies around housing and health during the covid-19 pandemic are closely linked to ‘hostile environment’ policies and amplifying housing and food precarity, isolation, exposure to violence, economic insecurity as well as physical and mental health problems for LGBTQI+ asylum claimants. There is a lack of intersectionality in the governmental approach to refugees and covid-19 and which creates a support gap for particularly LGBTQI+ asylum claimants. This intersectional research on sexuality, gender and asylum in the UK reveals that hostile environment policies render LGBTQI+ persons seeking asylum particularly vulnerable to homelessness, limited support services as well as mental health problems and gender-based and sexual violence.
Partner Related Motives and Strategic Alliance Formation: Evidence from Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya
Authors:   Kenyatta University, Kenya, Muthoka Richard K. , Kilika James M. , Muathe Stephen M. A.
Published: August 2022

This study investigates the effect of partner-related motives on firm performance, and the study targeted manufacturing SMEs based in Kenya. The partner-related motives were operationalized as the social factors of reputation-based motives, historical-based motives, and institutional-based motives, while firm performance is operationalized as sales growth and net profit. The target population for the study consisted of 74 SMEs based in Nairobi City County with existing strategic alliances. The study adopted descriptive and explanatory research designs and collected data from company CEOs or senior managers. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey findings showed that partner-related motives have been adopted and practiced by manufacturing SMEs to a high extent (M=3.68; S.D.=0.83). The study findings indicate that partner related motives have a significant effect on performance of manufacturing SMEs (Adj R2=0.525, β=0.444, p<0.05). Accordingly, manufacturing SMEs in Kenya are motivated to form strategic alliances by reputation-based motives and institutional-based motives, with the same motives having a positive effect on SME performance. In contrast, historical-based motives have no significant effect on SME performance. Therefore, the study concluded that reputation-based motives push manufacturing SMEs in Kenya to engage in strategic alliances while, historical-based motives and institution-based motives pull manufacturing SMEs in Kenya to form strategic alliances with other firms. The study recommended that top managers in the manufacturing SMEs need to adopt a vigorous diagnostic process to identify and define their partner-related motives. The study observes that such a move will enable the manufacturing SMEs to identify the most suitable alliance partner(s) who can offer complementary resources to improve performance.

The model presented in this paper is based on constructivism and it has been developed as a supporting practice of adult educators. The two dimensions Group and Reflection are the pillars of the model, while its key components, which are at the same time developmental stages, are: Inspiration, Development, Empowerment, and Action.
Who Is Imam Mahdi, Prophesied In Other Religions, And From Holy Fatima lineage?
Authors: Khanghah Reza Rezaie
Published: August 2022

Purpose: In this article, we will discuss the narrations and prophecies that exist in Islam, both in Shia, Sunni and other religions regarding Imam Mahdi. This article also attempts to deal with Holy Fatima and her characteristics. Also, we will show that Imam Mahdi is mentioned not only in other religions but also in other books. Also, this research was conducted to answer and clarify three questions that stated in the Introduction section.Methods: We performed our methods in 4 stages: Identifying studies, Selection of Studies, Collating Studies, Reporting results.Results: According to Abrahamic religions, a person will reappear and establish fairness and justice with the help of God, who is called Imam Mahdi and based on the opinion of Christians, he is Christ. If the Shiites, may Allah help them in His obedience, had fulfilled their covenant with united hearts, then there would have been no delay in meeting the Promised Saviour. Conclusion: The concept of Imam Mahdi is universal and cannot just be rejected. The appearance of Imam Mahdi will coincide with the coming back of Jesus Christ. Imam Mahdi, with the assistance of the Messiah, will ensure the completion and practical actualization of the mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The Hidden Imam wrote to Abu-Omar Ameri: The Prophet’s daughter (Holy Fatima) is a nice model for me. We hope this article will take an important step in acquainting people with Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ and paving the ground for their reappearance.
Imam Mahdi, Antichrist Or A Promised Saviour Besides Jesus Christ?
Authors: Khanghah Reza Rezaie
Published: August 2022

Purpose: In this article, we discussed whether Imam Mahdi is an Antichrist or a Promised Saviour Besides Jesus Christ and other topics. This article attempts to deal with the concepts "Occultation", "Imamat", "Mahdaviat", "Mahdism" and Who is Antichrist that prophesied both in Islam and Christianity. Also, this research was conducted to answer and clarify three questions that stated in the Introduction section.Methods: We performed our methods in 4 stages: Identifying studies, Selection of Studies, Collating Studies, Reporting results.Results: One of the statements of those who say that Imam Mahdi is the Antichrist is that he is not included in other religious books at all and his name is not mentioned in the Quran and the Muslims forcibly accepted him as their Messiah, but in response to these people, it is not the Muslims who are forcibly introducing the Imam Mahdi as a savior, but vice versa. The Quran contains many verses that mention Imam Mahdi. Not only the Quran, but also other religious books mention him, even with the titles and names mentioned in the Qur'an. Conclusion: The coming of Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ is one of the sure promises of God, and these two saviors will appear with God's help and the will of the people. They fill the earth with justice and establish the government of God. We hope this article will take an important step in acquainting people with Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ and paving the ground for their reappearance.
A Survey of Kenya’s Policies, Institutional Arrangements and Legislation on Traditional Medicine
Authors: Sifuna Nixon
Published: August 2022

Traditional medicine (also called ethno-medicine) is indigenous medicine based on traditional medicinal knowledge systems and passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation within the particular indigenous community, especially along familial lines as well as through informal apprenticeships; and which is largely undocumented. For a long time Kenya lacked policies, institutional arrangements and legislation on traditional medicine. Years later that scenario has changed, as the country now has an extensive policy framework and institutional arrangements on traditional medicine, comprising an avalanche of policies and institutional arrangements on the subject. It also has an extensive corresponding legislative framework comprising several pieces of legislation that are scattered over several sectors and line ministries and touching on one or other aspect of traditional medicine. New policies have been made, new legislation promulgated, and some of the then existing legislation amended. The earlier situation, and which has as already stated changed, was perhaps attributable to the nascent stage of traditional medicine policy and legislation at the time. With the effluxion of time, there have been marked developments in Kenya’s policies , institutional arrangements, and legislation on the subject. Notably however, although the effective operation of these institutional arrangements together with that of these scattered pieces of legislation can to some extent promote or impact positively on traditional medicine, they are bedeviled by lack of coordination and harmonization. This paper makes recommendations that if implemented can provide the much-needed coordination and harmonization in Kenya’s policies, institutional arrangements and legislation to ensure effective management and development of traditional medicine.
An Examination of the Racial Attitudes of Black U.S. Residents in Relation to Shifts in Systemic Racial Inequalities
Authors: Cha Leah , Sarmal Apoorva , Andre Chloe Jeanne , Darby Evana , Skinner-Dorkenoo Allison Louise
Published: August 2022

Shifts in systemic racism and racial inequalities in the U.S. over the last several decades have been mixed—some things have improved whereas others have remained unchanged or even worsened. Although school segregation is now illegal and the country has had its first Black president, the racial wealth gap continues to widen. In the current work, we examine whether shifts in racial inequalities in key structural areas in recent decades predict implicit and explicit racial attitudes among Black U.S. residents (N = 38,448). We observed some evidence of more pro-Black attitudes in states where racial inequalities in income, unemployment, and being uninsured decreased over time. However, the most robust association was between decreased racial inequalities in high school completion rates and decreased pro-Black attitudes. Thus, the current findings provide empirical evidence convergent with the notion that the public education system in the U.S. might be contributing to internalized racism among Black people in the U.S.

We hope this article will take an important step in acquainting people with Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ and paving the ground for their reappearance.
Generalization of L2 collocations
Authors: Pulido Manuel
Published: August 2022

Recent research has shown that knowledge of collocations in another language is important to improve processing and production, but also that acquiring L2-specific collocations is a very burdensome task for learners. Given this, bootstrapping knowledge of L2 collocations through generalization is highly desirable, but this area has yet received surprisingly limited attention. The present study examined L2 learners' ability to generalize knowledge of recently learned L1-L2 incongruent verb-noun collocations during processing; and whether generalization occurred via intralexical associations in the L2 (similarity) or was facilitated by equivalent multiword units in the L1 (i.e., via known L1 collocations). Mixed-effects regression on brain event-related potentials revealed cross-language influence during real-time processing that preceded acceptability judgements. Analysis of behavioral judgements were influenced both by within- and cross-language similarity. The findings, which reveal cross-language integration in L1-L2 incongruent collocations from the earliest moments of processing, have consequences for psycholinguistic models and for instruction.

Published: August 2022

Different aspects of motor performance were shown to be malleable to placebo and nocebo influences. However, there are equivocal findings too, and in some cases, only perceived but not actual performance was impacted. Therefore, the present laboratory investigation aimed to study if postural stability is susceptible to placebo and nocebo effects. Driven by expectations, these effects could affect the motor stability of the elderly and people with motion instability.Participants (N=78) were randomized to a placebo, nocebo, or control group. We applied a sham sports cream with different (positive, negative, or neutral) instructions about its impact on postural stability. A modified version of the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance was used to assess actual postural stability with four different test types (standard, proprioceptive, visual, vestibular) before and after the intervention. Expected and perceived performance was measured with visual analog scales. We also assessed trait anxiety, the change in the state anxiety, optimism, holistic thinking, persistence, and the motivation to cooperate with questionnaires. The experimental manipulation did not significantly affect actual performance, and the assessed psychological trait, state variables, and expectations did not have an impact. Similarly, the experimental manipulation and the assessed psychological trait and state variables did not significantly affect perceived performance. However, a strong association (rho=0.627, p<0.001) was found between expectation and perceived performance.Based on our findings, postural stability is not susceptible to placebo and nocebo influences. However, there is a dissociation between actual (objective) and perceived (subjective) performance, where expectations impact perceived, not actual performance.
Reversals of Capacity: Norms, Culture, and Institutional Disruption
Authors: Goldstein Daniel A. N.
Published: August 2022

In recent years, leaders in a number of nations have undermined their public sector's capacity to deliver on its core goals. To understand this interference, it is necessary to examine the formal and informal organizational dynamics at play within bureaucracies. Considering a widely-applicable generalized organization, a formal model outlines how a leader may augment the career incentives of supervisors and lower-level workers, which shifts the alignment of policy with an organization's central mission. While hierarchy may amplify disruption, organizational culture can coalesce as a norm facilitating resistance to extreme shifts, thereby stabilizing long-term mission-compliance. Yet, should disruption lead to an exodus of mission-driven employees, durable reversals of an organization's capacity to fulfill its aims may ensue. The model highlights three trajectories disrupted organizations follow: temporary reversal, erosion, and resistance. Implications are considered for public sector institutions and international organizations as well as for the study of bureaucratic and state capacities.
Systematic Online Living Evidence Summaries: emerging tools to accelerate evidence synthesis

Published: August 2022

Systematic reviews and meta-analysis are the cornerstones of evidence-based decision making and priority setting. However, traditional systematic reviews are time and labour intensive, limiting their feasibility to comprehensively evaluate the latest evidence in research-intensive areas. Recent developments in automation, machine learning and systematic review technologies have enabled efficiency gains. Building upon these advances, we developed Systematic Online Living Evidence Summaries (SOLES) to accelerate evidence synthesis. In this approach, we integrate automated processes to continuously gather, synthesise and summarise all existing evidence from a research domain, and report the resulting current curated content as interrogatable databases via interactive web applications. SOLES can benefit various stakeholders by (i) providing a systematic overview of current evidence to identify knowledge gaps, (ii) providing an accelerated starting point for a more detailed systematic review, and (iii) facilitating collaboration and coordination in evidence synthesis.
The influence of the tested item on serial dependence in perceptual decisions
Authors: Rafiei Mohsen , Chetverikov Andrey , Hansmann-Roth Sabrina , Kristjansson Arni
Published: August 2022

Serial dependence in vision reflects how perceptual decisions can be biased by what we have recently perceived. Serial dependence studies test single items' effects on perceptual decisions. However, our visual world contains multiple objects at any given moment, so it's important to understand how past experiences affect not only a single object but also perception in a more general sense. Here we asked the question: What effect does a single item have when there is more than one subsequently presented test item? We displayed a single line (inducer) at the screen center, then either a single test-line or two simultaneous test-lines, varying in orientation space to the inducer. Next, participants reported test-line orientation using a left or right located response circle (to indicate which test-line should be reported). The results demonstrated that the inducer influenced subsequent perceptual judgments of a test-line even when two test-lines were presented. Distant items caused repulsive serial dependence, while close items caused attractive serial dependence. This shows how a single inducer can influence test-line judgments, even when two test-lines are presented, and can produce attractive and repulsive serial dependence biases when the item to report is revealed after it has disappeared.
Not the norm: Face likeness is not the same as similarity to familiar face prototypes.
Authors: Balas Benjamin , Sandford Adam , Ritchie Kay L.
Published: August 2022

Face images depicting the same individual can differ substantially from one another. Ecological variation in pose, expression, lighting, and other sources of appearance variability complicate the recognition and matching of unfamiliar faces, but acquired familiarity leads to the ability to cope with these challenges. Among the many ways that faces of the same individual can vary, some images are judged to be better likenesses of familiar individuals than others. Simply put, these images look more like the individual under consideration than others. But what does it mean for an image to be a better likeness than another? Does likeness entail typicality, or is it something distinct from this? We examined the relationship between the likeness of face images and the similarity of those images to average images of target individuals using a set of famous faces selected for reciprocal familiarity/unfamiliarity across US and UK participants. We found that though likeness judgments are correlated with similarity-to-prototype judgments made by both familiar and unfamiliar participants, this correlation was smaller than the correlation between similarity judgments made by different participant groups. This implies that while familiarity weakens the relationship between likeness and similarity-to-prototype judgments, it does not change similarity-to-prototype judgments to the same degree.
Smoking, erectile dysfunction, and its extended psychobiology
Authors: Chattopadhyay Subhagata
Published: August 2022

Increasing cigarette smoking has been observed in males as a sign of being macho and manly. However, the reality is contrastingly unfortunate as tobacco smoking has an adverse influence on male sexual health causing mild-to-severe grades of impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) with associated psychological issues, together these are termed here as the tobacco-penis syndrome (TPS). This brief review details the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and molecular basis of ED in smokers. It also discusses the consequential psychological aspects beyond the TPS. The article aims to generate awareness among men with elaborated scientific pieces of evidence in a concise manner.
Measuring Adolescents’ Prosocial Behaviors: Associations Between Self-Report Questionnaires and Economic Games
Authors: van de Groep Suzanne , van Woudenberg Thabo Joshua
Published: August 2022

Studies have used two common methodologies to measure prosocial behaviors: self-report questionnaires and economic games. However, their interrelations and respective age differences have rarely been assessed. The current study investigated this in adolescents (N = 425, aged 12-17 years, 52% female, 99% Dutch ethnicity) using the Prosocial Tendencies Measure Revised, and three games: Dictator Game, Social Value Orientation, and Social Mindfulness. Results confirmed interrelations between different types of self-reported prosociality, and between economic game-measured prosocial behaviors. Moreover, most game-measured behaviors were positively predicted by altruistic and anonymous, and negatively predicted by compliant, self-reported prosocial behaviors. No age effects were observed. Overall, this study advocates complementary use of self-report and economic games-measured prosocial behavior to further understanding and assessment of prosociality.
Adenocarcinoma Nasossinusal- a Relevância da História Ocupacional
Authors: Costa Marta , Leite Carlos
Published: August 2022

Introduction Nasosinusal Adenocarcinomas are rare neoplasms that account for less than 5% of head and neck cancers. Occupational risk factors that have been linked to a higher incidence of Nasosinusal Adenocarcinomas include chronic exposure to wood dust and/or leather, nickel and chromium compounds, formaldehyde and other solvents, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Occupations with exposure to dense wood dust are particularly associated with the intestinal subtype of adenocarcinoma, the most frequent location of which occurs in the ethmoid sinus and upper nasal cavity. The report of this clinical case aims to raise awareness among health professionals for the surveillance and early diagnosis of these occupational cancers. Description of the Clinical Case The authors present the case of an 81-year-old man who worked for 56 years as a joiner in the furniture industry. In his occupational history he denied the use of Personal Protective Equipment, namely respiratory protection. In a surveillance consultation with his family physician, he reported epistaxis and occasional nasal obstruction of the right nostril with an evolution of about three months. During the evaluation, a neoformative lesion was diagnosed in the right nasal fossa and the patient was immediately referred to Otorhinolaryngology consultation. A biopsy of the lesion revealed “morphological aspects of intestinal adenocarcinoma”. After evaluation in group consultation, he was proposed for endoscopic sinus surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. Discussion/Conclusion Occupational exposure to wood dust should lower the physician’s threshold of suspicion for symptoms suggestive of occupational cancer. The long latency period for the development of adenocarcinoma and the higher survival of people treated in the early stages of the disease make periodic medical surveillance in the early detection of nasal adenocarcinoma necessary. Keywords: Nasosinusal Adenocarcinoma, Wood Dust, Occupational Disease, Ocupational Medicine, General and Family Medicine.
Strategy analysis of directoring of the ketoprak event at LPP RRI Semarang
Authors: Hastuti Sri
Published: August 2022

LPP RRI Semarang has a function not only to provide information and entertainment but also to contribute to the preservation of local culture by presenting various cultural arts programs such as "ketoprak". The ketoprak program is one of the flagship programs that have loyal fans. so, to maintain its existence, it is important for a director of the ketoprak program to understand this art. The main obstacle in this program is how a director must think creatively in the production process by utilizing existing resources so that it remains attractive to listeners in today's competition in the radio industry. Thus, a good strategy is needed by the director in the production of the ketoprak program. This research is presented qualitatively with a phenomenological approach where the experience of a director of a ketoprak program is the main focus. The production of the ketoprak program is divided into four stages, namely, Pre-Production, Training, Production, and Post-Production. The director of the ketoprak program was directly involved in all these stages, both ideas, and technical matters. Director In the pre-production process, the director coordinates with the producer and scriptwriter in terms of finding story ideas. The script was implemented in rehearsal by all actors and crew. In the production process, the director is fully responsible for its implementation. Lastly, in post-production, the director leads the evaluation.

Toward More Inclusive Professional Learning Communities
Authors: Shand Robert , Batts Jacqui
Published: August 2022

Collaboration among teachers is an important vehicle for teacher development, shared leadership, improving student achievement, building school culture, and attracting and retaining effective teachers. However, if professional collaborative environments are not truly diverse and inclusive or marginalize individual teachers or groups of teachers based on their identities, the professional communities are less effective and efforts to increase teacher diversity and student achievement by attracting and retaining teachers of color will be thwarted. We investigate whether a sustained commitment to anti-racism and/or diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through districtwide teacher training efforts contributes to more inclusive professional learning communities within schools and whether these efforts, in creating more inclusive professional learning communities (PLCs), increase recruitment and retention of teachers of color. We investigate trends in two selected case study districts that implemented districtwide training for all teachers on anti-racism and/or DEI, using comparative interrupted time series and synthetic control methods. We find mixed and mainly null findings on teacher reports of inclusive PLCs following DEI initiatives, but the efforts do lead to small and not significant positive effects on teacher diversity.
Features of foreign economic activity in the modern global environment
Authors: Rybakova Tetiana , Kuznіetsova Tetіana
Published: August 2022

Formulation of the problem. Intensification of foreign economic activity is a very important condition for the economic development of each country in the modern global environment. Currently, Ukraine’s foreign economic activity has negative dynamics associated with full-scale Russian aggression. The most important task is to find ways to eliminate emerging political and economic problems; therefore, studying the peculiarities of Ukraine’s foreign economic activity in the modern global environment is quite a relevant scientific and practical task. Analysis of recent research and publications. Today, there are a sufficient number of studies on the development of Ukraine’s foreign economic activity in modern conditions that characterize the global environment. However, the challenges faced by the state in connection with the war started by Russia make it necessary to reconsider approaches to the study of foreign economic activity. Setting the task, the purpose of the study.  Identifying the peculiarities of Ukraine’s foreign economic activity in the modern global environment under the conditions of the Russian invasion. Method or methodology of research. General scientific (analysis and synthesis, system analysis, comparison) and specific research methods (sociological, morphological, graphic). Presentation of the main material (results of work). The article emphasizes the importance of foreign economic activity for the development of the country in the modern global environment. Current conditions regarding the implementation of foreign economic activity of Ukraine as one of the world’s leading exporters of agricultural products are studied. The main trends of Ukraine’s foreign trade against the background of a full-scale war with Russia are analyzed. The main areas of regulation of foreign economic activity in Ukraine in the conditions of war are determined. Field of application of results. Scientific studies of globalization and foreign economic activity, the educational process (in the preparation of the relevant sections of textbooks and tutorials for courses "International Economy", "Foreign Economic Activity"). Conclusions according to the article. Ukraine is one of the world’s leading exporters of agricultural products and the food security of many countries of the world depends on Ukrainian exports. The results of military operations on the territory of Ukraine greatly affected its foreign economic activity, and this is most evident in the deterioration of foreign trade indicators. The structure of exports is dominated by products with low added value, and the difficulty of exporting them through seaports during the war caused a drop in export earnings. However, in connection with simplifying the access to the EU market, new prospects for the intensification of foreign economic activity are opening up for domestic enterprises.
Main trends in the economic vocabulary evolution of the modern Ukrainian language (based on famous Ukrainian linguists scholarly works of the early XXI century)
Authors: Spys Olha
Published: August 2022

Research rationale. In the modern world globalization processes affect the development of every sphere of Ukrainian society, including international politics, technical and military sector, education, science, sports, and of course economics. Due to various globalization processes, on one hand and nationalization processes on the other, Ukrainian vocabulary is actively extended with new words through various thematic groups as an open language system. The economic theme group of Ukrainian vocabulary has become especially rich over the last three decades. This fact of course constantly attracts the attention of modern linguists. Problem statement. More and more citizens of our country are involved in a variety of economic processes lately. This leads not only to the active acquisition of special and common economic terms by citizens, but also their modeling and reinterpretation. Along with vocabulary which is well-known only to a small circle of economists, commonly used economic lexis is actively formed. Such processes which are constantly studied by Ukrainian modern linguists always demand reenvisioning in the context of the integral development of Ukrainian vocabulary. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Dynamic lexis processes of the modern Ukrainian language have been actively studied by such well-known modern linguists as K. Horodenska, S. Yarmolenko, L. Lysychenko, O. Serbenska, and L. Struganets. Economic vocabulary of the modern language of the early XXIst century is the researches study object of such linguists as N. Klymenko, O. Styshov, M. Navalna, E. Karpilovskaya, L. Kislyuk. The purpose of the article is to analyze modern Ukrainian linguist’s researches and to find out leading trends in economic lexis of Ukrainian language at this level of development. Research methodology. The following methods of scientific research are used in the article: comparative analysis, benchmarking assessment, systematic approach, and synthesis. Work results. Ukrainian language principal trends of modern economic vocabulary have been analyzed in the article inspired by the works of famous Ukrainian linguists of the early XXIst century. Also there have been researched ways to enrich thematic economic group of the vocabulary. Conclusions. It is detected that the economic thematic group of Ukrainian lexis develops according to the following tendencies in the works of famous Ukrainian linguists: 1) globalization and autochthonization; 2) active assimilation by speakers of economic words with both direct and figurative meaning; 3) transfusion of special word-terms and commonly used lexical units in various spheres of communication, as in professional so in journalistic and colloquial.

Published: August 2022

The subject of the study is the peculiarities of the development of hotel-restaurant and tourist business enterprises and their inherent advantages and risks. The purpose of the article is to determine their substantiation on the basis of taking into account not only rational, but also irrational or behavioral factors of demand for products and services and, accordingly, the segmentation of the consumer market and the choice of a market niche and activity strategies. The methodological basis of the article is the methods and approaches of economic, institutional and theory of sustainable development. In particular, monographic, system-structural analysis and synthesis, STP-marketing, the method of compiling functional maps or double segmentation, statistical and economic methods were used. Results of the article. The article examines the peculiarities of the development of hotel-restaurant and tourist business enterprises and their inherent advantages and risks. In the conditions of uncertainty, limitation of demand and lack of resources, choosing the right strategic directions of development is of great importance and relevance. The tools for taking into account behavioral factors, the advantages and disadvantages of the STP-marketing method and the possibilities of the method of drawing up functional maps due to the consideration of both consumers and corresponding products and services as the main components of segmentation are determined. Field of application of results. The obtained results can be used by hotel and restaurant and tourist enterprises; institutions of higher education; tourist organizations and local self-government bodies. Conclusions. Provided that the subject of the hotel, restaurant and tourism business manages to implement the marketing strategy chosen by him, the next step should be to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of such a strategy. We believe that ineffective marketing strategies in the activities of business entities will not be able to ensure a balance between the company's capabilities and meeting the needs of consumers and the market. Therefore, the main task for top business managers is to minimize errors in the process of developing and implementing marketing strategies and programs, to find options for such a marketing strategy that would ensure the creation of a balance of resources and opportunities with profit and stability and competitiveness for enterprises.
Growth and/or development; market and/or plan; foreign and/or national capital?
Authors: Durankev Boyan
Published: August 2022

From the management point of view, the economic system (in particular, Ukraine) is characterized (as well as from the structural point of view) by two coordinates: sectoral-transterritorial and territorial-intersectoral management subsystems. In this dichotomy, there are not two, but three subjects of management: transsectoral corporations as centers of management and realization of private interests in the national and transnational aspects; the national state as the center of management and implementation of public interests in the national and intersectoral aspect; The UN and the European Union (where Ukraine aspires) as a center of supranational management and coordination of intersectoral, national and transnational interests. The questions become very interesting: whether to pursue economic growth or economic development; how much to leave on the "market" and how much - on national plans and programs; should we count on foreign, national-private, or national-state capital in the future? Conclusion. As one can see, solving these issues is standing not only before Bulgaria and Ukraine, but also before most countries of the world; in general, the interests of these 7 billion people of the current 7.8 billion people in the world lie in this direction, so these are democratic approaches to socio-economic development.

The article is devoted to the topical problem of improving the quality of professional training of future specialists in the field of nanomaterials to productive activities, namely the analysis of his professional activities to create nanostructures on the surface of semiconductors. The article analyzes the objects, products, tools, processes, and conditions of professional activity of a specialist in the synthesis of nanostructures on the surface of semiconductors and identifies the properties of the original and synthesized nanomaterial, conditions, technologies, means of their creation. Factors that affect the characteristics of nanostructures during their synthesis (resource, technological), properties of source and synthesized nanomaterials (physical, chemical, biological, morphological, environmental, mechanical, technological, patent law, economic and functional) are described. The most popular methods (chemical, electrochemical etching, lithography) and means of synthesis of nanostructures on the surface of a semiconductor wafer are presented. Based on the generalized structure of the production process, defined the content of the nanoengineer's professional activity on the organization of the nanomaterials production process (identification of correlations between conditions and synthesis results, selection of optimal technological solutions, experimentation, preparation of experimental methods by chemical reactions, synthesis conditions); on the implementation of the technological process (design of future nanomaterial, its manufacture and improvement); on production process management (taking into account the influence of factors on characteristics, resource planning, assessing the correct choice of materials, modes, methods, and regulating the synthesis process by conducting similar studies on other samples, analysis of previously unaccounted factors, adjusting synthesis conditions, resources, eliminating unwanted phenomena). Key words: nanotechnologies, professional activity, production process, system approach, nanoengineer.

The rapid development of information technology leads to the digital transformation of education, the active using of digital technologies in the educational process. On this basis, it is planned to update the planned educational outcomes, content of education, methods and organizational forms of educational work, as well as evaluate the achieved results in a rapidly evolving digital environment to radically improve the level of education of everyone. Digital technologies create conditions for solving these problems by improving the planning and organization of the educational process, the widespread use of active learning methods and the beginning of personalized organization of the educational process. In the context of reforming and modernizing the educational environment with the help of digital technologies, the main trend is the digital security of educational systems. Research notes the contribution of the digital educational environment to improving the quality of education and improving the content of education through the use of a wide range of digital educational resources, improving professional skills in the use of digital technologies and resources. This is ensured by improving the literacy of modern digital technologies, the introduction of distance learning methods at all levels of education. Estonia's Euro-Atlantic progress in the field of information technology is described, where public authorities have long enjoyed the advantages of information technology both in the management process and widely used in the provision of administrative services to the population. Citizens receive various services via the Internet: issuing licenses, paying taxes, etc. With the help of an automated electronic document management system you can solve a number of problematic issues, such as timely submission and execution of documents, the quality of management decisions, the quality of preparation of collective documents, prevention of corruption. It was noted that having chosen the European integration course and determined it as its strategic priority, Ukraine should focus primarily on the strategy of development of EU member states in the information sphere. Key words: digital security, educational process, education, European progress, Estonian experience, prospects of Ukraine.

The article reveals the peculiarities of the organization of distance interaction in general secondary education institutions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The author used methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization, categorical and functional analysis. The study, based on the analysis of a wide range of sources and literature, clarifies the concept of remote interaction, which is considered as the interaction of students, parents and teachers at a distance between specific Internet technologies or other web tools that provide interactivity. It was found that the features of distance interaction in schools include: democratization of education and openness; complete exclusion or reduction of nonverbal information about the interlocutor; dependence on the level of technical equipment and digital competence of participants in the educational process; the risk of distorted perception of the received information, distortion of its interpretation. Based on a survey of teachers, it was found that teachers appreciate their willingness to interact remotely with students. Teachers emphasize the importance of quality technical equipment, a clear plan for remote activities, quality and efficiency of feedback. Among the promising areas of distance interaction with parents, teachers identify: parent meetings, consultations, educational seminars, and some teachers have a positive experience of remote implementation of project activities of students and joint projects of children and parents. At the same time, teachers note that the situation with the coronavirus required all participants in the educational process to very quickly restructure their interaction in general secondary education, for which they were not psychologically ready. Key words: school, distance interaction, COVID-19 pandemic.
