The paper deals with the definition of current problems of the development of creativity and entrepreneurship of music education teacher and their solution. Creativity is a phenomenon to which more and more attention is paid, it is a universally applied key competence, according to which, abilities, motivation and environmental influences should be taken into account. It is emphasized that the creativity of a teacher is reflected in his professional activity and has a productive effect on student education and training. New markets need managers and educated teachers with key competencies. Professional activities have a number of functions for the implementation of which business qualities are required. Attention is paid to the main types of entrepre- neurial and pedagogical activities.
Martin Heidegger: Force, Violence and the Administration of Thinking
Authors: Knowles Adam
Published: June 2021

In 1929, Martin Heidegger announced a new fundamental term in his thinking: Wal- ten. Heidegger uses Walten to designate the primal ontological force of nature, but also brings it into connection with administration (Verwalten), specifically linking it to university administration. The article argues that in the Black Notebooks Heidegger develops a philosophical conception of administrative practice in the midst of his own administrative practice as university Rector in the era of Gleichschaltung.

Published: June 2021

Arabica coffee is a leading commodity in Simalungun Regency, where entrepreneurship becomes one of the important aspects in arabica coffee farming management. This study aims to understand the influence of internal factors (farmer age, education, experience, number of family members, family motivation, and work culture) and external factors (government support, community support, access to production facilities, and climatic conditions) on entrepreneurial performance of arabica coffee farmers. The research was conducted in two villages (Bangun Pane village and Bintang Mariah village) in Dolog Masagal district, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra Province during March to May 2018. The study sample covers 60 farmer households who have Arabica coffee farming with at least 300 arabica coffee plants and minimum plant age of three years, determined by snowball sample method. The study used ratio and scale data (Likert scale), which was analyzed using multiple regression equations. Data were processed using SPSS 24. Results show that internal factors have positive and significant effect on the entrepreneurial performance of arabica coffee farmers (value Sig.=0.005), while external factors have positive and insignificant effect (value Sig.=0.313). Local governments through relevant technical agencies are recommended to provide facilitation in improving farmers' access to production factors, increasing quantity and quality of extension, technical guidance, and relevant training.
Novel Cycloaliphatic Cashew Nut Shell Liquid Derivatives and their use as Isocyanate Protective Groups
Authors: Campaner Pietro
Published: June 2021

Cardanol (3-pentadecenyl-phenol), a well-known non-edible natural oil obtained as a by-product of the Cashew Industry, represents a valid alternative to petro-based derivatives, thanks to its peculiar chemical structure. When selected as polymer building block in the synthesis of epoxy curing agents or polyols and diols for polyurethane applications, cardanol can impart unique benefits, like chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, thermal resistance and balanced mechanical properties. Once used in polyurethane prepolymers, it demonstrates various benefits, including favorable and easily tunable deblocking conditions, lower viscosity of resulting NCO-blocked prepolymers and excellent storage stability in comparison to commonly used phenolic compounds (phenol, nonylphenol, in particular). In this paper, novel cardanol-based fully cycloaliphatic derivatives (e.g. cyclohexanol, oxime, lactam-types) will be presented, investigating their use as innovative isocyanate protective groups with faster reactivity and lower deblocking temperatures than petro-derived benchmarks.

Published: June 2021

The incidence of meniscal tear injuries is rising, predominately due to the sporting activities of young adults. There are different methods in orthopedics of meniscal tear management. An Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy (APM) is the most practiced orthopedic procedure globally. However, recent literature reported serious concerns about its positive outcome. Meniscal repair is another recommended technique and growing rapidly due to its less incision requirement. Partial Meniscal implant is a modern management strategy with the excellent outcomes but still required further large-scale research. Concluding to the modern strategies of meniscus tear management “Save the meniscus!” is the emerging approach. This review critically analyzed the most adapted management strategies of meniscal tear and the emerging ones.

Published: June 2021

Стаття присвячена удосконаленню порядку підготовки та здійснення передислокації окремого радіолокаційного взводу (орлв) на призначену позицію. Існуючі Методичні рекомендації щодо підготовки та застосування орлв до виконання завдань по прикриттю важливих державних об’єктів (в подальшому - Методичні рекомендації), які видані у 2006 році, не враховують ні зміни, які відбулися в організаційно-штатній структурі, ні особливості бойового застосування орлв в зоні антитерористичної операції та операції Об’єднаних сил. Методика тактичних розрахунків, як етапу підготовки до бойового застосування орлв, Головного оперативного управління Генерального штабу Збройних Сил України визначає лише порядок розрахунку передислокації підрозділів і частин Сухопутних військ Збройних Сил України, тим більше не може враховувати всі особливості підготовки та передислокації підрозділів РТВ. Проведений аналіз етапів бойового злагодження орлв показав, що не увесь перелік заходів, що виконуються, врахований при підготовці до передислокації та безпосередньо здійснення передислокації взводу. Розглянуті зміни в організаційно-штатній структурі орлв дають можливість зробити висновок, що визначена штатна чисельність особового складу орлв та штатна чисельність озброєння і військової техніки, враховуючи її можливості щодо перевезення особового складу, стверджують про те, що виконати завдання даним складом практично неможливо, а тому потребують удосконалення та змін. При цьому особливе значення має послідовність проведення операцій як на етапі переведення в похідне положення, так і на етапі розгортання в бойовий порядок. Зміни організаційно-штатної структури дають можливість окремі заходи виконувати одночасно. Визначені пропозиції удосконалення підготовки та здійснення передислокації орлв нададуть можливість командирам радіотехнічних частин та підрозділів врахувати досвід ведення антитерористичної операції та операції Об’єднаних сил і, в цілому, покращити ефективність бойового застосування окремих радіолокаційних взводів.

Variabilitas Tangga Nada Talempong Pacik Dalam Konteks Kesenian Tradisi Minangkabau
Authors: Wimbrayardi Wimbrayardi , Parmadi Bambang
Published: June 2021

Dalam musik tradisional Minangkabau khususnya musik Talempong Pacik, tidak ada kesamaan tangga nada antar kelompok musik Talempong di setiap kanagarian di Minangkabau. Tangga nada yang digunakan dalam Talempong tradisional tidak sama dengan tangga musik barat (diatonis) dengan kata lain tangga nada yang dipakai adalah pentatonis. Bagi masyarakat Minangkabau untuk memainkan Talempong Pacik, yang dibutuhkan adalah kebenaran oral rasa musik dalam menafsirkan suara atau nada yang diinginkan (sense of music). Hal tersebut, menjadikan bentuk variabilitas nada ataupun tangga nada tradisi Talempong Pacik menjadi sangat beragam. Dalam konteks kesenian tradisi bentuk tangga nada atau pola musik Talempong Pacik berbeda-beda, sehingga menjadikan kesenian tradisi ini sebagai kesenian kearifan lokal dengan warna varian tradisi dalam sosiokultur masyarakat pada beberapa kanagarian di Minangkabau. Berdasarkan pada teori etnomusikologi, kesenian tradisi khususnya musik mempunyai peran penting pada sosiokultur masyarakat pendukungnya, baik secara penggunan (use) maupun fungsinya (function).

Oscillation or not – why we can and need to know
Authors: van Bree Sander , Alamia Andrea , Zoefel Benedikt
Published: June 2021

Neural oscillations are pivotal to brain function and cognition, but they can be difficult to identify. Researchers engage in careful experimentation to identify their presence, ruling out non-oscillatory processes that could give rise to a similar response. Recently, Doelling and Assaneo have argued against these efforts on the basis that oscillators are heterogeneous, which makes the line to non-oscillators blurred and thereby meaningless to draw. Here, we offer our opposing viewpoint, arguing that we can know whether oscillations are involved, and that we need to know. First, we can know because there are unique properties that only oscillators have, which can be reliably used to identify them – the line is not blurred. These unique properties include eigenfrequency, Arnold Tongue, convergence, and independence. Second, we need to know because there are shared properties, which all oscillators or all oscillators within a subclass have. These shared properties comprise all the information we get once we know there is an oscillator, including neurophysiological, functional, and methodological properties – the fruits of decades of research. We argue that identifying oscillators is crucial for the advancement of research fields as it constrains the possible neural dynamics involved and allows us to make informed predictions on a variety of levels. While neural oscillations are the start and not the end, we have to reach that start.
Trastuzumab-treated Invasive Lobular Carcinoma patients have a differently expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type H, PTPRH
Authors: S Vijay , P Rucha
Published: June 2021

Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), isused to treat human breast cancer1,2. However, a thorough knowledge of how trastuzumab therapy modulatestumor signal transduction is inadequate. We discovered that the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type H,encoded by PTPRH, was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patientstreated with trastuzumab, and expressed at lower levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, bymining published and public microarray and gene expression data3,4 from the primary tumors of patientstreated with trastuzumab. Thus, trastuzumab treatment in breast cancer patients is linked to lower primarytumor expression of a protein tyrosine phosphatase, whose deficit in pediatric solid tumors identifies a riskphenotypeand whose expression is reduced in colorectal cancer.
The Effect of Pandemic Covid-19 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME’s)

Published: June 2021

In 2020 the minister of maritime affairs and fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia issued regulation number 12 of 2020 concerning the management of lobsters, crabs and crabs in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. There are several troubling issues, namely as follows: 1. approval of fishing gear previously prohibited from use, including among others shrimp, payang, cantrang and the like that are classified as trawlers; 2. policies that allow the export of lobster seeds. It is feared that this will trigger horizontal conflicts between fishermen, which are increasingly rampant, because so far conflicts have often occurred with fishermen regarding the use of fishing gear that is not environmentally friendly.

MSMEs BECOME THE EARLY FOUNDATION OF INDONESIA'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY
Authors: Angelia
Published: June 2021

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) at the beginning of the pandemic experienced a drastic decline. People are still too shocked by the situation that requires all activities to be limited. But slowly but surely with more free time due to government programs, namely study from home and work from home, making people look for ideas to make a living and be productive. In the third quarter, the Indonesian economy improved slightly, although its economic growth was still minus, but was better than the previous quarter. This turned out to be due to one of them, namely the emergence of several new MSMEs that began to move people's purchasing power.

The lack of robust evidence for the effects of alcohol on false memory
Authors: Flowe Heather D , Compo Nadja Schreiber
Published: June 2021

We comment on Kloft et al.’s (2021) review of the effects of alcohol and other drugs on false memory reporting. Across studies, problems of internal and external validity and methodological consistency preclude any blanket conclusions and recommendations regarding alcohol’s effects on false memory reporting and suggestibility in witnesses. We argue that any policy and practice conclusions drawn from this limited literature are premature and would be unfairly prejudicial to witnesses and confusing to triers of fact at this time.
Effects of fact-checking warning labels and social endorsement cues on climate change fake news credibility and engagement on social media
Authors: Koch Timo Kevin , Frischlich Lena , Lermer Eva
Published: June 2021

Online fake news can have noxious consequences. Social media platforms are experimenting with different interventions to curb fake news’ spread, often employing them simultaneously. However, research investigating the interaction of these interventions is limited. Here, we use the Heuristic-Systematic Model of Information Processing (HSM) as a theoretical framework to jointly test two interventions against fake news that are implemented at scale by social media platforms: (1) adding warning labels from fact checkers to initiate systematic processing and (2) removing social endorsement cues (e.g., engagement counts) to reduce the influence of this heuristic cue. Moreover, we accounted for dispositions previously found to affect a person’s response to fake news through motivated reasoning or cognitive style. An online experiment in Germany (N = 571) confirmed that warning labels reduced the perceived credibility of a fake news post exaggerating the consequences of climate change. Warning labels also lowered the (self-reported) likelihood to amplify fake news. Removing social endorsement cues did not have an effect. In line with research on motivated reasoning, left-leaning individuals perceived the climate fake news to be more credible and reported a higher likelihood to amplify it. Supporting research on cognitive style, participants with lower educational levels and a less analytic thinking style also reported a higher likelihood of amplification. Elaboration likelihood was associated only with age, involvement, and political leaning, but not affected by warning labels. Our findings contribute to the mounting evidence for the effectiveness of warning labels while questioning their relevance for systematic processing.
Computing Realistic Surrogate EEG for the Study of Functional Connectivity
Authors: O'Reilly Christian , Elsabbagh Mayada
Published: June 2021

Functional connectivity computed from electroencephalograms (EEG) can be used to better understand how the brain works. Unfortunately, estimating such connectivity is fraught with many pitfalls and can be confounded with artifacts due to volume conduction, common sources, reference scheme, etc. Devising a method to compute surrogate EEG that would be free of functional connectivity but that would reliably reproduce the effect of confounders such as volume conduction would be invaluable for statistical inference on functional connectivity. We developed such a method by simulating EEG from estimated sources and by reproducing the properties of local (but not long-range) functional connectivity in intracranial recordings. We present an example of how this approach can be used to improve the estimation of functional connectivity in EEG.
Book Review "Friedrich Engels: Pemikiran dan Kritik" (Friedrich Engels: Thought and Criticism)
Authors: Oktafiah Arlina Dwi , Pandin Moses Glorino Rumambo
Published: June 2021

Not infrequently people only know Friedrich Engels as the scribe of Karl Marx. His only job was to collect, retype Marx's papers and give them to publishers. Some books describe him as an amateur writer, limited in his abilities and unable to adapt to Marx's thinking. That is why the editor of this book, Dede Mulyanto, compiled the anthology "Behind Marx: The Characters and Thoughts of Friedrich Engels" published by Marjin Kiri a few months ago.In general, the book introduces Engels' life and thought, and explores his relationship to Marx in a way that does not simply place him within or under Marx. In this book, we will realize that Engels was not only a loyal friend but also provided the impetus and avenue for Marx to write and publish his work. Not only was he the saddest person at the time of Marx's death, but he also didn't even have time to finish the Das Kapital masterpiece. In addition, we also see Engels' persistence in compiling Marx's research notes and compiling them to produce a series of publications, including Das Kapital and Das Kapital.We also gain a deeper understanding of Engels, as explained in the brief description by Sylvia Tiwon in the introduction to the book, as a theorist who developed the theory of historical materialism into scientific fields outside of economics and struggled with the latest scientific discoveries of his time.This book exists to restore Engels' figures and thoughts and to place them accordingly. It is a challenge to reintroduce the image and ideas of Engels to Indonesian readers today, not only in formal legal aspects, such as prohibiting the spread of Marxist ideas through TAP MPR/Ketetapan Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (Resolution People's Consultative Assembly) No. 25 of 1966 but also in the theoretical aspects of Marxism itself. As we know MPR/Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (People's Consultative Assembly) decree 25 of 1966 is a product of the highest law of the times and has acted as an integrating mechanism and effective conflict resolution to address the nation's breakdown after the G30S / PKI 1965, which devastated national unity. With the MPRS decree, the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was dissolved and declared a prohibited organization throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia and a ban was imposed on any activities to spread or develop the understanding or teachings of Communism/Marxism-Leninism. When studying the thinking of this German man, the main question that often arises is: Why does Engels need to be studied? Why didn't Engels study Marx's thinking right away? The ideological leanings of neo-Marxist scientists further exacerbated this situation. They hoped that by identifying Engels as the culprit of the extreme and rigid interpretation, Marx's theory was freed from the bad thoughts of Soviet determination.

Age and Support for Public Debt Reduction
Authors: Aspide Alessia , Brown Kathleen , DiGiuseppe Matthew , Slaski Alexander
Published: June 2021

Many scholars and policymakers see the continuing rise of debt burdens in the advanced industrialized world as the product of aging populations and increasing dependency ratios. In fact, many prominent theoretical models of government debt accumulation -- often used to justify fiscal rules and austerity measures -- make explicit assumptions that individuals will have different preferences for debt reduction as they age. While such models have been influential, the fundamental assumption regarding the relationship between age and preferences for growing debt has not been test empirically. Using a decade's worth of data from the Eurobarometer survey across 33 countries, we find that age has a modest, non-linear impact on concern for national debt burdens. In general, the middle-aged show the most concern for debt reduction, while the young and the old are less likely to view reducing government debt as a policy priority. Notably, the relationship is strongest in countries with more generous old-age benefits.
BOOK REVIEW : REVITALIZATION OF PANCASILA VALUES AMONG INDONESIAN MILLENIAL YOUTH (REVITALISASI NILAI-NILAI PANCASILA DI KALANGAN ANAK MUDA INDONESIA)
Authors: Haq Alma Nisa'ul , Pandin Moses Glorino Rumambo
Published: June 2021

Pancasila is the foundation of the entire Indonesian nation, the outlook on life, and the philosophy and values upheld by the Indonesian people. Pancasila has values that are contained in each of its precepts. As the basis for the Republic of Indonesia, Pancasila has its values that have been owned by the Indonesian nation since ancient times. Values it includes cultural values, customs and religiosity implemented in everyday life. Indonesian national identity sticks strong through these values which are used as a way of life.Millennial youth currently dominate Indonesia; the millennial generation is currently growing rapidly, accompanied by advances in technology. Young people or the millennial generation have an important influence in advancing Indonesia and must have the spirit of Pancasila values to make Indonesia better than in previous years. With technology, the millennial generation will find it easier to learn and practice every precept contained in Pancasila. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has observed that 90.5% of millennials vehemently refuse to replace Pancasila with another ideology. Based on the observational survey results, we can found that the millennial generation has diverse self-confidence and views on Pancasila. Millennials need to understand and participate in revitalizing the value of Pancasila in the future.
Book Review: THE SELF-CONCEPT OF PANCASILA (KONSEP DIRI PANCASILA)
Authors: Maharani Dewi Indah , Pandin Moses Glorino Rumambo
Published: June 2021

The book with the title Pancasila Self-Concept was written to provide information as well as an overview of the importance of society to practice Pancasila. Rahmad Hidayat and Sumarto as writers, this opens knowledge to the public, especially the younger generation, how the process of Pancasila was established as the basis of the Indonesian State. The Pancasila Self-Concept is a book that describes the shape of the Indonesian nation's personality which is characterized by an attitude of loving the homeland, upholding the 1945 Constitution, and adhering to the principle of mutual cooperation. So, the book should be read and understood by the younger generation, in building the nation's character. Where at this time, the behavior of the Indonesian people has deviated from the values of Pancasila. This character is formed from the existence of self-knowledge of the ability of knowledge and its influence on the social environment. In forming this understanding, the need for awareness of the values of Pancasila to be applied in the implementation of social life in Indonesia. This is expected to have a positive impact in maintaining national harmony and unity.

Background: Becoming environmentally viable, lately, ‘Going Green’ has been a popular expression for both worldwide banking and financial areas just as for the overall population. Green banking as a piece of going green is another method of playing out the financial organizations thinking about the clean natural issues and corporate social duty of banks. Objectives: This paper tries to investigate banker’s overall arrangement and elements influencing their viewpoint on green banking performances. Method: The information was gathered between June–October 2019 from various banks in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. The sample of 326 financial representatives has been gathered by utilizing a purposive sampling technique. Collecting primary and secondary data, this study utilizes an explanatory research design that assesses the causal relationship among reliant and free factors. The paper utilizes descriptive and inferential techniques for assessment. For understanding green financial mindfulness of the bankers, an index has been calculated. Result: The outcomes show that large numbers of the bankers are less mindful of green financial practices in their banks, while just 5% of respondents know about green banking practices. The Probit regression results uncover that education, preparing for green banking, fixed expense, client fascination, related parties’ directions, and security of the climate have critical and constructive impacts on green financial practices in banks. Conclusion: All in all, for the selection of green financial practices, most importantly, banks ought to provide training to their employees and offer effective online services to their clients.
Determinants of Data Use for Decision Making in Health Facilities in Kitui County, Kenya

Published: June 2021

Background: Effective management of today’s health systems depends on the critical use of data for the policy-making, planning, monitoring of services, and making decisions. The use of data has been limited and faced with inadequacy hence vital health decisions often relying on political opportunism, donor demand, and infrequently repeated national studies which are insensitive to changes occurring over a shorter timescale.

Objective: This study was designed to identify determinants of utilization of routine data for decision making by health care providers in health facilities in Kitui County in Kenya.

Methods: The conceptual framework was constructed from the literature review. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study adopting quantitative and qualitative research paradigms. The district hospital was purposively selected. Multi-stage cluster sampling was used to sample the health facilities in sub-counties and simple random sampling to select the respondents from different cadres in health facilities. The 110 participants completed a self-administered questionnaire. Key informant interviews, focused group discussions, observation, and analysis of documents in health facilities were applied. Recordings were transcribed and key concepts identified. Questionnaire results were edited, coded, tabulated, and analyzed using the SPSS 18.

Results: Respondents interviewed were different cadres of health care providers including doctors, clinical officers, nurses, and midwives from different levels of health facilities. Among the respondents, 70% were females, and 30% males.  The majority, 64% had a diploma level of education. Nurses/ midwives were the majority, making up 81% of the workforce. The overall extent of data utilization was 66% not using data and 34% use the routine generated data. The following actors influence utilization of routine data: frequency of meetings held ( =42.036, df=1, p=0.001), data storage and analyzing methods ( = 30.582, df=1, p=0.001), and continuous professional training ( = 49.782, df=1, p=0.0001). Organization of the district health system influenced routine data utilization through the frequency of support supervision ( =30.000, df=1, p=0.001), issues assessed during supervision ( =49.164, df=2, p=0.002) and feedback report from the supervisors ( =5.236, df=1, p=0.022).

Conclusion: The study demonstrated limited utilization of routine data for decisions in health facilities and recommended the need for capacity building for data utilization through on job training and strengthening the curriculum in health training institutions in data-related areas. The ministry of health can standardize the parallel reporting levels and unify the reporting tools and finally ensure the districts have structured meetings, support supervision, and feedback to the health care providers.

Evaluating Lower Limb Kinematics Using Microsoft’s Kinect: A Simple, Novel Method
Authors: Haimovich Yaron , Hershkovich Oded , Portnoy Sigal , Schwartz Isabella , Lotan Raphael
Published: June 2021

Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the Microsoft Kinect sensor (MKS) as a markerless system for motion capture and analysis of lower limb motion, compare it with a state-of-the-art marker-based system (MBS), and investigate its accuracy in simultaneously capturing several lower limb joint movements on several planes while participants walked freely. Method: Participants were asked to walk while gait data were simultaneously recorded by both the MKS and the MBS. Software for analysing the Kinect data stream was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio and Kinect for Windows software development kits. Visual three-dimensional (3D) C-Motion software was used to calculate 3D joint angles of the MBS. Deviation of the joint angles calculated by the two systems was calculated using root-mean-square error (RMSE) on the basis of a designated formula. Results: The calculated RMSE average was <5° between the two systems, a level of difference that has practically no clinical significance. Conclusions: Quantitative measurements of the joint angles of the knee and hip can be acquired using one MKS with some accuracy. The system can be advantageous for clinical use, at the pre- and post-treatment stages of rehabilitation, at significantly lower costs. Further evaluation of the MKS should be performed with larger study populations.

Performing Politics: Propaganda, Parody and a Women's Parliament
Authors: Bird Kym
Published: June 2021

The initial phase of women's drama in Canada coincides with the first wave of 19th-century Canadian feminism and the Canadian women's reform movement. At the time, a variety of women wrote and staged plays that grew out of their commitment to the political, ideological and social context of the movement. The 'Mock Parliament,' a form of theatrical parody in which men's and women's roles are reversed, was collectively created by different groups of suffragists in Manitoba, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. This article attempts to recuperate these works for a history of Canadian feminist theatre. It will argue that the 'dual' conservative and liberal ideology of the suffrage movement informs all aspects of the Mock Parliament. On the one hand, these plays critique the division of gender roles that material feminism wants to uphold; they are testimony to the strength of a woman's movement that knew how to work as equal players within traditionally structured political organizations. On the other hand, they betray the safe, moderate tactics of an upper and middle-class, white womanhood who wanted political representation but no structural social change. These opposing tensions are inherent in theatrical parody which is both imitative and critical.

In times of crisis, events are moving fast and standard macroeconomic statistics published with a lag cannot quite keep pace with the changing situation. During such periods, there is an increasing need to use high-frequency indicators that allow virtually real-time monitoring of economic activity. In many countries, this is achieved by using financial transaction data. In this paper, we present a methodology for the current analysis of sectoral financial flows in the Russian economy based on data from the Bank of Russia payment system. We use the information on the dynamics of average daily payments for each class of OKVED 2 (the Russian National Classifier of Economic Activities) to develop high- frequency indicators of economic activity, which have been published on the Bank of Russia website since April 2020. We also tentatively discuss the potential of financial transaction data in terms of improving the tools for short-term forecasting of business activity dynamics and solutions to other research problems.
