The enterprises and their supply chain (SC) have undergone significant changes because of the highly complex business environment, dynamism, environmental change, ideas like globalization, and increased rivalry of enterprises in the national and worldwide arena. Additionally, pandemics and crises caused SC disruptions for enterprises. Thus, an enterprise’s SC must constantly be ready to face various obstacles and unpredictable environmental changes. In an era of growing technological advancement, enterprises and their strategies are transforming toward sustainable and resilient SC. For this reason, this study embraces the notion of utilizing technologies such as Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics (BDA) as branches of intelligence techniques of Industry 4.0 (Ind 4.0) and, thereafter, Industry 5.0 (Ind 5.0). Thus, the study contributes to constructing an appraiser model for appraising the enterprises that employ these technologies and techniques in their SC to be sustainable resilience in another meaning resilience supply chain (ReSSC). This model utilized best worst method (BWM) under the governing of Single-valued triangular neutrosophic sets (SVTNSs) to generate an appraiser model. Whereas SVNSs applied in the comparative analysis as a comparative model with the cooperation of AHP, TOPSIS, and WSM to validate our constructed model. The findings of the appraiser model based on MCDM merging with SVTNSs and the comparative model based on MCDM integrated with SVNSs agreed that the optimal key indicator six is securing of data (KI6); otherwise, Key Indicator three is transparency (KI3). Also, these models agreed to recommend enterprises from optimal to worst as En1> En4> En2> En3. From the results of the two models, En1 is the most sustainable and resilient. Contrary, En 3 is the least.
Winter, Woodin & Perlman - Defining iconicity for the cognitive sciences
Authors: Winter Bodo , Woodin Greg , Perlman Marcus
Published: November 2023

Iconicity has become an increasingly hot topic in the cognitive sciences, but research is riddled with inconsistencies in the use of key terminology, including “iconicity” itself as well as other related terms. This chapter presents a precise definition of iconicity that reflects the wide range of research on the topic in cognitive science and linguistics, but also provides clarity moving into the future. We also clarify common terminological confusions with respect to related notions including sound symbolism, systematicity, and indexicality. Our discussion puts the spotlight on aspects of iconicity that are under-appreciated in cognitive science, especially its context-dependent nature, and the fact that iconicity is underpinned by multiple rather than monolithic cognitive mechanisms.

Marketing mix adalah penggabungan antara kegiatan atau variabel yang merupakan pokok dari suatu sestem pemasaran agar mampu mempengaruhi respon konsumen. Marketing mix adalah variabel-variabel yang dipakai perusahaan sebagai sarana untuk memenuhi atau melayani kebutuhan dan keinginan konsumen. Pada industri rintisan dan produk lokal, strategi ini sangat relevan untuk pengembangan usaha. Seiring dengan perkembangan konsep pemasaran, kini para ahli telah menyederhanakan ruang lingkup yang luas itu menjadi 4 (empat) kebijakan pemasaran yang lazim disebut bauran pemasaran (Marketing Mix) atau 4P yaitu, produk (product), harga (price), tempat (place) dan promosi (promotion) (Kumalasari, Rukma Nur; Nuryatman, Pamelia; Eviana, Mila; Andriani, Siska; Yuhanna, 2021)
We Will Not be Ignored: Assessing PrEP Uptake Inequities Reported by People Living with Disabilities Within a National Sample of Two-Spirit People, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Men, and Queer and Non-Binary (2S/GBTQ+) people in Canada

Published: November 2023

Background: No studies have examined PrEP access among people living with disabilities within Two-Spirit, Gay, Bisexual and Trans men, Queer and Non-Binary communities (2S/GBTQ+) in Canada, despite inequities and structural barriers to health. We investigated PrEP access barriers experienced by 2S/GBTQ+ people living with disabilities with increased likelihood for HIV acquisition, and associations with disability subgroup. Method: Participants self-completed an online, community-based survey, including demographic, disability, and PrEP access barrier questions. Participants were recruited through 2S/GBTQ+-oriented sex-seeking apps, social media, and community-based organizations. Using bootstrapped multivariate logistic regression analyses (1000 iterations), we estimated differences in experiencing PrEP access barriers by disability subgroups presented as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: Of 1299 PrEP-naïve participants, most identified as cisgender men (88.26%), gay (78.06%) and non-Latino white (77.23%). 803 people (61.82%) reported living with at least one disability. Disabilities were grouped into visual (n=172; 21.42%), hearing (n=40; 4.98%), mobility (n=102; 12.70%), memory (n=284; 35.37%), emotional (n=564; 70.24%) or other disabilities (n=306; 38.11%). While participants living with disability and those not living with disability both reported high rates of any PrEP access barriers (95.39% vs. 95.85%; aOR=0.89; 95%CI [0.37-1.80]), patterns varied by disability subgroup and barrier. Participants with mobility disabilities were more likely to report cost barriers to PrEP (42.42% vs. 28.78%; aOR=2.08; 95%CI [1.12-3.80]) and have concerns about PrEP effectiveness (10.61% vs. 2.73%; aOR=4.08; 95%CI [1.22-9.54]). Participants with memory disabilities were also more likely to report testing requirements as a barrier (23.16% vs. 14.29%; aOR=1.58, 95%CI [1.02-2.42]). Conclusion: PrEP-naïve 2S/GBTQ+ people living with disabilities have unique needs and experiences accessing PrEP that may relate to the nature of their disability/ies. To ensure equitable PrEP implementation, further investigation of PrEP access needs for people with disabilities is warranted to inform policy and health service delivery.

Genetically-modified animals as models of neurodevelopmental conditions: a review of systematic review reporting quality
Authors: Wilson Emma , Currie Gillian , Macleod Malcolm Robert , Kind Peter , Sena Emily
Published: November 2023

ObjectiveUsing genetically-modified animals to model neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) helps better our understanding of biology underlying these conditions. Animal research has unique characteristics not shared with clinical research, meaning systematic review methods must be adapted to this context. We aim to evaluate the quantity, characteristics, and reporting quality of systematic reviews which synthesise research using genetically-modified animals to model NDCs.MethodsOn 23 January 2023, we searched PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science Core Collection to identify systematic reviews of genetic NDC animal research where the modified gene was one of a list of 102 genes associated with NDCs identified through large-scale exome sequencing or FMR1, MECP2, or UBE3A. Two independent reviewers screened studies based on full text, and assessed the reporting quality of relevant reviews using an adapted version of the PRISMA checklist (PRISMA-Pre).ResultsTwelve review publications met our criteria. We found mixed levels of reporting: items such as identifying the publication as a systematic review in the title, search strategies, and funding sources being well reported, and others such as protocol registration and data sharing less well reported. We also identified 19 review registrations via PROSPERO, most of which remain unpublished after their anticipated end dates.ConclusionIncreased awareness of reporting guidelines may help authors increase the transparency and reproducibility of their systematic reviews.Funding and registrationThis review was funded by a Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain PhD studentship (SFARI:#529085). The funder played no role in the development of this work. Protocol Registration: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/952QK.
Plagioclase-saturated melt hygrothermobarometry and plagioclase-melt equilibria using machine learning
Authors: Cutler Kyra , Cassidy Mike , Blundy Jon
Published: November 2023

Compositions of plagioclase-melt pairs are commonly used to constrain temperatures (T), dissolved water contents (H2O) and pressures (P) of pre-eruptive magma storage and transport. However, previous plagioclase-based thermometers, hygrometers, and barometers can have significant errors, leading to imprecise reconstructions of conditions during plagioclase growth. Here, we explore whether we can refine existing plagioclase-based hygrothermobarometers with either plagioclase-melt or melt-only chemistry (± T/H2O), calibrated using random forest machine learning on experimental petrology data (n= 1152). We find that both the plagioclase-melt and melt-only models return similar cross-validation root-mean-square errors (RMSEs), as the melt holds most of the P-T-H2O information rather than the plagioclase. T/H2O-dependent melt models have test set RMSEs of 25 °C, 0.70 wt.% and 76 MPa for temperature, H2O content and pressure, respectively, while T/H2O-independent models have RMSEs of 38 °C, 0.97 wt.% and 91 MPa.  The melt thermometer and hygrometer are applicable to a wide range of plagioclase-bearing melts at temperatures between 664 and 1355 °C, and with H2O concentrations up to 11.2 wt.%, while the melt barometer is suitable for pressures of ≤500 MPa.  An updated plagioclase-melt equilibrium model has also been calibrated, allowing equilibrium anorthite content to be predicted with an error of 5.8 mol%. The new P-T-H2O-An models were applied to matrix glasses and melt inclusions from the 1980 Mount St Helens (USA) and 2014-2015 Holuhraun (Iceland) eruptions, corroborating previous independent estimates and observations. Models are available at: https://github.com/kyra-cutler/Plag-saturated-melt-P-T-H2O-An, enabling assessment of plagioclase-melt equilibrium and characterisation of last-equilibrated P-T-H2O conditions of plagioclase-saturated magmas.
Self-Disorder in Schizophrenia: A Revised View (1. Comprehensive Review: Dualities of Self- and World-Experience)
Authors: Feyaerts Jasper
Published: November 2023

A growing body of research supports the role of self-disorders as core phenotypic features of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Self-disorders comprise various alterations of conscious experience whose theoretical understanding continues to present a challenge. The following two articles aim to provide further clarification of the nature of self-disorders in schizophrenia by offering a comprehensive review (article 1) and theoretical revision (article 2) of the currently most influential model of altered selfhood in schizophrenia: the basic-self-disturbance or ipseity-disorder model (IDM). This article presents a state-of-the-art overview of the current self-disturbance model and critically assesses its descriptive adequacy with respect to the clinical variability and heterogeneity of the alterations in self- and world-awareness characteristic of schizophrenia. Special attention is paid to experiences of exaggerated basic self, increased “grip” or “hold” on the world, and paradoxical combinations. The next article proposes a theoretical revision of the self-disturbance model by considering how hyperreflexivity might form the crucial common thread or generating factor that unifies the phenomenologically heterogeneous, and sometimes even contradictory features of schizophrenic self-disorders. We outline implications of our revised model for explanatory research, therapeutic practice, and our general understanding of the abnormalities in question.

Published: November 2023

Tuning the electronic and optical properties of TiO2 is very important because of the variety of applications, including photocatalysts, electronics and data storage devices, and solar cells. Here, we performed the theoretical and experimental investigation of electronic, and optical properties of TiO2 and Al doped TiO2 in the form of bulk and thin film. A tight binding linear muffintin orbital (TB-LMTO) approach is used to optimized the TiO2 (anatase) in bulk phase. The optimized lattice parameter of TiO2 (anatase) is found to be 3.89Å.The band structure plot reveals that bulk TiO2 (anatase) bears wide bandgap semiconducting behavior with bandgap (Eg) 3.23 eV whereas thin film of aluminium doped TiO2 (anatase) behaves as a metal. The symmetric nature of up and down density of state (DOS) and projected density of states (PDOS) for both bulk and thin film of TiO2 (anatase) ensures their non-magnetic behavior. Experimental observation shows that the surface reflectance of the film increases with increasing concentration of aluminium (Al) while transmittance observed as opposite trends. The direct and indirect bandgaps of TiO2 film evaluated using transmittance curves are 3.53 eV and 3.27 eV respectively, which are well agreed with the available standard band-gap range of TiO2 film (3.2 eV to 3.65 eV). The direct band gaps for Al-1% and Al-3% doped TiO2 film are 3.60 eV and 3.62 eV respectively with thickness obtained from swanepoel method are 682.06 nm and 745.56 nm respectively.

Published: November 2023

Foundation is indispensable part of any civil construction. Construction of building structures and other civil engineering structures such as roadways, railways, waterways, airports, water retaining structures, involve huge human and financial resources and their construction on loose or weak soil is a threat to both humans and the project itself, and can also result into loss of both. Construction on weak soil has been significant challenge for geotechnical engineers since time immemorial, thus various types of soil stabilizers are used to stabilize weak soil whose selection depends upon the availability of the stabilizing material, soil properties, environmental condition, foundation type and the budget of the project. The present study intends to evaluate the influence of mixture of sugarcane bagasse ash (SABS), egg shell powder (ESP) and lime on weak soil so as to stabilize it. The physical properties of original soil sample and aforementioned additives mixed soil sample have been carefully determined by conducting sieve analysis, Atterberg’s limit test, direct shear strength, Modified Proctor test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), specific gravity test and free swell index test. Comparative analysis was carried out among all the samples to determine the optimum percentage of sugarcane bagasse ash, egg shell powder and lime required for the stabilization of the weak soil under study. The use of bagasse ash, eggshell powder and lime showed favorable results when determining the geotechnical properties of various sample mix. Despite decrease in the cohesion and maximum dry density during addition of bagasse only in the sample mix, addition of other additives even in small amount brought positive impact in the results. The value of angle of internal friction increased from 23.24 degrees to 29.08 degrees and cohesion increased from 0.19 kg/cm2 to 0.21 kg/cm2. Similarly maximum dry density also increased form 16.54 kN/m3 to 17.42 kN/m3 and optimum moisture content decreased from 16.26% to 15.76%.

Published: November 2023

Pilgrimage is spiritual tourism to receive heavenly blessings. The study focuses on pilgrimage tourism and its importance. The study highlights adventure tourism and pilgrimage tourism in the context of Nepal. The focus of the article is on the pilgrimage industry in Nepal's Goshaikunda Lake, one of the most revered bodies of water that Lord Mahadev is said to have created to get rid of the effect of poison named Kalkut. The importance of the festival and Goshaikunda in both the Hindu and non- Hindu communities is highlighted in the paper. The principal two ways to Goshaikunda Lake are through Dhunche and Sundarijal, both of which have similar importance and adventure, as well as geographical and natural beauty. The ideal trekking path from Langtang to Helambu has also been created around Goshaikunda Lake. They are also included in the Ramsar wetland list, along with all the lakes associated with it. The paper is qualitative, more descriptive, explanatory, and entirely based on the researchers' personal experience of visiting Goshaikunda Lake as a primary source of data and literature as a secondary source, both of which are collected and analyzed qualitatively
Practices of Teaching Grammar
Authors: Luitel Peshal
Published: November 2023

The 21st century is known as the era of meaning-focused communicative approach to teaching of grammar. However, most language teachers are found to still follow transmission-based grammar-oriented approaches. It is known that the success or failure of teaching grammar effectively depends on teachers. Therefore, in spite of teaching of grammar being central to language teaching, it is problematic domain for language teachers. That is to say, what teachers do in regard to grammar instruction is an important issue that needs to be investigated. Therefore, through a classroom observation checklist, the present study investigated Nepalese primary-level English language teachers’ practices of teaching grammar. The results revealed that teachers predominantly prefer the traditional focus-on-formS approach, which indicates that even if new way of teaching grammar have been emerged, the teachers are unable to shift their approach of teaching grammar.

Published: November 2023

What the state of skill development and in what ways the skill development is related to employee effectiveness at Nepal Bank Limited in Nepal are the research issues in this study. The study’s objectives are to determine existing skill development (SD) status and evaluate the relationship between SD and employee effectiveness. This research applied a descriptive and quantitative research design. Primary data have been collected through structured questionnaires. There are 21 commercial banks in Nepal. Nepal Bank Limited was selected as a sample unit based on the lottery technique. A total of 50 respondents were sampled by applying the purposive sampling method. Descriptive statistics were adopted to determine the existing state of skill development and employee effectiveness. The Likert Five-Point Scale was used as an instrument for answering perceptual questionnaire statements. In descriptive statistics, mean values of more than 3.44, and the remaining of them are nearest to 4. No statement has been less than the average value. Furthermore, the minority of the mean values of the statements in this table is more than 4, and the majority of the mean values are nearer to 4. Thus, it can be concluded that employees seem to agree that employee skill development and effective of them are sound. Similarly, the perception of the great majority of employees in almost all questionnaire statements is in favor of an agreement with these statements. Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that the development of the skill of employees strongly related to employee effectiveness in the Nepal Bank Limited.
Status and Provision of Personal Permanent Account Number (P-PAN) Withholdees in Nepal
Authors: Singh Sanjiv Kumar , Budhathoki Sabita
Published: November 2023

The research highlights the fossil print of the income tax system into the modern concept of a permanent tax system. The tax was initially introduced to fulfil the economic need of the state for war and the like. Later on, this became the permanent source of income for the sustainability of the government. Nepal had gone through various reforms in the tax system. Recently, the Government of Nepal made personal PAN cards mandatory from the fiscal year 2019/2020. This study highlights the consequences and impacts of such rule implementation. Onward, it would help to formulate the prerequisites for implementation and help to design policy. Additionally, it advocates for tax literacy among citizens, equal respect for the public and transparency of services provided to the public. This is a mixed type of research and thus deals with both quantitative and qualitative data. Most of the data collected from the government record so-called secondary data and are well cited. This study is interpretive. It was found that 71% had felt an extra burden about taking P-PAN forcefully. IRD should play a vital role in the optimum level of tax collection by bringing new policies, a healthy tax system and making literate on the tax system to the citizens. Also, IRD needs to educate well to the citizens about the benefit of tax paying. Arguably, the study enhanced to create tax awareness and support for healthy tax system practice.
Design and Implementation of Voltage Source Inverter using PWM Technique
Authors: Doranga Saroj , Nepal Rajeev , Timsina Pratigya
Published: November 2023

With increasing demand for electricity and diminishing conventional energy resources, there is a pressing need for alternative energy sources. This project aims to construct a Power Inverter that can serve as a reliable power source for heavy equipment. The Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is a power electronic device that converts DC power to AC power at the required output voltage and frequency level. A two-level inverter produces an output voltage source or current with levels of 0 or positive or negative volts DC. A variable voltage Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter produces a near sinusoidal voltage from several levels of DC voltages, with minimum harmonic distortion and variable output voltage. Using MOSFETs and a microcontroller, this project developed a hardware model for a PWM H-Bridge inverter. A potentiometer serves as a tuner to adjust the duration of the gate signals for driving the MOSFETs, which changes the width of the output voltages, thereby achieving pulse width modulation. PROTEUS simulation models were designed to validate the inverter's performance. The proposed project's objective is to design and implement a Voltage Source Inverter using PWM technique.

Designing and evaluating the Supervision workshop series – embracing overlapping and contradictory views
Authors: Lu Bing , Sinclair Ben , Affejee Youn
Published: November 2023

This reflective piece focuses on the workshops of the Superb-Vision Network: a series of student-led workshops to support doctoral students’ learning of their supervision experiences. As a continuation account of the writing in the previous volume of this journal, this piece introduces how the development and evaluation of the workshops has been informed by the principles of educational design research (McKenney & Reeves, 2018) throughout. As a co-created work between three authors, who acted as facilitators and participant in the workshop, this writing discusses how the multiple evaluation/reflection cycles break down facilitator-participant barriers and contribute to methodological inclusion in terms of improving the future workshops. This writing recognises various challenges in incorporating various feedback when evaluating the workshops and centralises inclusivity when facilitating innovation, such as how to embrace participants’ contradictory views and critical feedback. In the spirit of educational design research, the other goal of this piece is to balance the need to develop a quality ‘product’ whilst simultaneously formulating broader design principles to contribute to ‘scientific understanding’, benefiting the development and evaluation of other peer-based learning initiatives.
Co-creative teaching practice and active learning: the opportunity of small group teaching in philosophy
Authors: Lorenzi Giulia
Published: November 2023

Co-creative pedagogy practices, where the students occupy a central role in shaping the sessions acting as partners in teaching, have an enormous potential in fostering inclusiveness and equality in the academic setting. Giving the students a voice and a role to play in designing and delivering teaching interventions, indeed, ensures that their unique interests and their needs as learners are taken on board, valued, and acted upon. Yet, it is challenging to implement co-creative practice while also following principles of active learning. Engaging students in deep learning through activities and “doing” tasks usually requires a certain degree of preparation which ends up creating a structure for the sessions that is less flexible than hoped, and more difficult to be permeated by and open to students’ individual needs and interests.

In teaching seminars in philosophy, I have found myself juggling the challenge of combining co-creative practice and active learning principles. Considering philosophy more as a practice rather than a discipline, I have always thought to my seminars as the ideal space for my students to exercise philosophical skills whose development, strength and autonomy constitute a core element of the learning expected from a philosophy graduate. For this reason, active learning has always been a pillar of my teaching practice. Yet, I was finding difficult to connect it to a co-creative approach to teaching.

In this piece, I am going to explain how establishing an ongoing, honest dialogue with my students has revealed to be the solution to my problem.
Navigating Challenges in Postgraduate Pedagogy: An EDI Consideration to Preparing, Designing, and Delivering Teaching by PGRs
Authors: Rong Deqing , Cui Haosen
Published: November 2023

Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) play an integral role in shaping the pedagogical landscape within Higher Education despite encountering several challenges as they prepare, design, and deliver their teaching. This paper explores these challenges, focusing on the advantages of advancing Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in postgraduate pedagogies. Except for barriers from literature, this paper will also include authors’ personal teaching experiences in the module Technology Management for one and a half years.

When PGRs prepare and design for the session, they should be aware of EDI issues since students may have different cultures, knowledge, and personalities. Therefore, it is a challenge to prepare and design the teaching to ensure all students can easily understand, participate equally in the session, and have an equal chance to express or share their thoughts and ideas with others after the session. By addressing this issue, this paper will explain things that PGRs should be concerned about and the challenges they face, such as how they would split students into each group, how they support different students with different characteristics, such as disabilities and how to innovate in the method of teaching, etc.

PGRs should also consider EDI in their teaching practices, which can be more complex than preparing due to unexpected situations that arise during actual practice. Therefore, PGRs should seek to learn from others’ teaching experiences and seek support when needed. This paper will illustrate challenges aligned with EDI issues that have been faced, such as arguments between students, sensitive questions asked by students and reports from students, and, more importantly, how to perfectly deliver the knowledge that has been prepared and designed to ensure that students can feel that EDI is also a challenge that PGRs faced.
What ‘Teeny’ Group Seminar Teach Us: Enhancing Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Small Group Seminar through Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) and Anecdotal Pedagogy
Authors: Lu Li
Published: November 2023

This reflective study delves into the nuanced impact of varying class sizes on the pedagogy of teaching literary theories and explores the ways of improving diversity in different classroom settings. It is based on my comparative analysis of the outcomes from teaching two different sizes of small seminar groups previously: one with eleven students and one that had between two and four students in regular attendance (what I term as a ‘teeny group’). To empower students to better empathise with the racial and gender inequalities portrayed in theoretical texts, and to facilitate a friendly and open dialogue for students to share their own perspectives and experiences, I employ technological tools such as Padlet and Vevox as well as my own perspective as anecdotal pedagogy, namely, the inclusion of personal experience into teaching methods and contents. In doing so, I create an online platform to allow my students to share their opinions anonymously and visually and make use of my identity as an Asian woman to encourage underrepresented marginalised groups to get involved in discussions. This reflective piece draws on the article ‘‘Violating Pedagogy’ by Heather G. S.  Johnson (2015) as a theoretical framework to demonstrate both the strengths and limitations of the teeny group in comparison with the normally small group and further to evaluate different pedagogic methods in advancing Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) from a unique perspective. In doing so, this article contemplates the optimal classroom sizes for effective teaching and examines how various pedagogical approaches counteract the differences in class sizes.
Benevolence in the functioning system of united territorial communities: communication and management elements
Authors: Shimchenko Ljudmila , Berezanska Iryna
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is ensuring integrity in the system of functioning of united territorial communities. The purpose of the article is to study the degree of compliance with integrity in the system of administrative and communicative functioning of the OTG in wartime conditions. Research methods. In order to solve the research tasks, methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization were used, which made it possible to ensure the conceptual unity of the research. Work results. The article examines the ability of local self-government bodies to adhere to the principles of integrity in their work in all its manifestations, both at the managerial and communicative levels, taking into account the peculiarities of wartime. They tried to consider integrity in the activities of the OTG in the context of avoiding double standards, resisting corruption, maximally assisting people in receiving services, developinga mechanism of stability in overcoming crisis phenomena, ensuring a people-centered way of communication and maximum informational openness about management activities and financial expenses. Conclusions. Virtue as a basic principle of the operation of the OTG in war conditions works quite positivelyin the system of regulating numerous crises related to migration and evacuation processes, in relation to internally displaced persons, etc. There are many problems with compliance with the principles of integrity in the field of "open communities" formation, which is connected with honest interaction with donors and humanitarian missions; compliance with norms of decency in the system of using financial resources also requires attention. Norms of integrity are the basis of the new model of governance, therefore the leadership of the OTG in wartime conditions should apply the recommendations of the "new governance", which includes: predictableand joint governance to solve extremely difficult situations; application of the mechanisms of a transparent and responsible attitude to the implementation of strategic planning for reconstruction and development in the postwar period; ensuring the participation of active citizens in the redistribution of state resources at the local level; application of "new ways of thinking in the context of policy formation, which include an orientation towards flexibility rather than stability, towards networks rather than hierarchies, towards partnerships rather than client services in relations between citizens and the state" [1]
