Authors: Данилович-Кропивницька Марта
Published: May 2022

У запропонованій публікації викладено авторське бачення поняття «регіональна мережа». У вітчизняному економічному просторі надскладною є ідентифікація регіональних мереж, встановлення приналежності суб’єкта господарювання до неї. У статті розглянуто регіональні мережі двох типів – інфраструктурні та технологічні. Інфраструктурні об’єднання, до яких автор відносить регіональні бізнес-центри, бізнес-інкубатори, технологічні парки, кластери, крім підприємницьких структур, включають інші елементи ринкової системи: місцеві органи влади і управління, громадські організації, соціальні інститути. Технологічні регіональні мережеві об’єднання включають франчайзингові, науково-дослідні мережі, союзи/альянси підприємців. Вони складаються із підприємницьких структур, що вступають у мережеву взаємодію для вирішення індивідуальних задач за рахунок мережевих партнерів. Встановлено переваги та недоліки кожного із видів мереж для перетворення їх у драйвери економічного зростання регіону.

Багаторічний український досвід переконливо засвідчив, що реформи (де б вони й коли б не відбувалися, хто б їх не започатковував) лише тоді мають пристойні шанси на успіх, коли спираються на надійне інституціональне підґрунтя. Теж саме стосується й модернізації вищої освіти, яка триває без зупинки аж з моменту набуття країною незалежності. Один з красномовних прикладів – безрезультатні, на жаль, спроби поширити на заклади вищої освіти концептуальні принципи дуальної освіти. Здавалося б, вивчили більш-менш ґрунтовно практику її застосування в Німеччині, схвалили розпорядженням Кабінету Міністрів «Концепцію підготовки фахівців за дуальною формою здобуття освіти» і зупинилися, ніби й не було позитивних намірів та оптимістичних сподівань. Усвідомлюючи, що проблема потребує якнайшвидшого вирішення, автори поставили собі за мету ініціювати дискусію, наслідком якої стане вихід з глухого кута, у якому опинилися вітчизняні заклади вищої освіти.

Published: May 2022

The article investigates and systematizes the implementation and operation of corporate information systems for planning and resource management ERP-class. ERP-class corporate systems are innovative information systems that provide comprehensive automation of enterprises and organizations. ERP systems for enterprise resource planning have developed rapidly over the past decades and now cover virtually all business processes and routine operations of the organization. Approaches to the definition of ERP-systems are systematized. It is defined that this is a generalized term that characterizes the software that implements the planning and management of all resources of the enterprise in a single database online. ERP systems are built on a modular basis and automate the following business processes: management and financial accounting, financial management, production planning and management, personnel management and development, logistics and supply chain management, quality management, project management and investment. Risk factors for the implementation of ERP systems are analyzed. The structure of the life cycle of corporate information systems is considered in detail. The life cycle of ERP systems consists of several phases that the system goes through during its existence in organizations: initiating a decision on the need to implement the system, requirements analysis, decision making, acquisition, implementation, use and maintenance, and finally the disposal phase. The system of flexible spiral life cycle models is integrated with the Agile methodology, which helps to more effectively plan, make decisions and implement information systems. The Scrum method, which divides the project into sprints and is used by small, highly motivated teams, is analyzed. Kanban is considered as a method of project management, which involves a continuous flow of tasks and their effective implementation. The advantages of using Agile methodology for implementing ERP systems are shown. It is proved that the further development of a flexible methodology for the implementation of ERP systems is associated with the ability to rationally combine and share the methods of Scrum and Kanban within a single project, using their benefits to efficiently and quickly perform tasks.

Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Lysenko Alla
Published: May 2022

The relevance of this study is that the existing approaches in assessing the resource and production component of economic potential do not fully take into account the specifics of the agricultural sector, and therefore need detailed study and further improvement. Particular attention needs to be paid to the theoretical and methodological component of analytical assessment of economic potential, the development of which should take into account the specifics of agricultural enterprises, and practical aspects of analysis of resource-production components of their economic potential. The aim of the study is to analyze the resource-production component of the economic potential of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine, to develop a system of indicators for assessing resource security and use of resource components of the resource-production component of economic potential of agricultural enterprises. The author investigates the existing methods of estimating the resource-production component of economic potential, systematizes them within the income, cost and comparative-analytical approaches, analyzes the components of the resource-production component of economic potential of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine using statistical information for 2014–2020 by studying dynamics the number of existing agricultural enterprises, the volume of crop and livestock production, the area from which the crop was harvested, the level of yield by crop species, livestock and productivity of agricultural enterprises, animal feed and efficiency, average number of employees and level wages in agriculture, the level of renewal and depreciation of fixed assets in agriculture, forestry and fisheries of Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the resource-production component of the economic potential of agricultural enterprises is formed by material and technical component and land resources, as well as personnel and financial components, based on which a system of indicators for analytical assessment of resource availability and use of resource components economic potential of agricultural enterprises.
THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF MINIMIZING AUDIT RISKS BY INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES

Published: May 2022

The article presents an overview of approaches to assessing audit risks by internal audit services, and an analysis of ways to minimize them. It was found that the preliminary and final assessments of audit risk in general and its components are significantly differing. Moreover, in an audit by internal audit services, changes in judgment about the amount of individual components of audit risk can change several times during the audit period as additional information becomes available. But taking this into account this moment it will be allow more accurately assess the components of audit risk and develop certain recommendations to minimize it. The author's proved that for internal audit services in developing measures to minimize audit risks, it is first necessary to answer the question of the rationality of risk assessment at the planning stage, if the judgment about it would be changed during the audit. A change in the audit risk assessment necessitates changes in the Audit Plan and Program. Therefore, the authors of the article made a proposal to compile a verification program after testing. For this, testing should be the first step of the audit. In other words, we propose to make changes in the sequence of actions of the auditor during the audit: first assess the risk (this may mean an audit of cash, banking transactions and settlements with accountable persons), and only then draw up an audit program. The author's proposed improvement of the audit risk assessment methodology which will allow compiling an audit program based on real data on the state of the internal control environment, to reduce labour costs when making changes to the audit procedure. These recommendations will improve the quality of the test, because any changes to the program during the test are less reasonable than the program developed on the basis of actually confirmed numerical data and as a whole.

Published: May 2022

The construction industry is a strategically important component in the development of the national economy and the development of the country's social infrastructure. The variability of the conditions of production activities of construction companies leads to fluctuations in physical and financial results obtained by enterprises. The relevance of the topic is emphasized by the importance of the development of the construction industry due to its impact on the efficiency of the functioning of the entire economic system in the country. The issue of financing the construction industry requires special attention. The level of investment in construction determines the ability of enterprises to receive a number of benefits. To create a favorable investment climate in Ukraine, it is necessary to develop real financial and credit mechanisms to stimulate industrial and housing construction in order to increase the competitiveness of the industry. The analysis of capital investments in construction in comparison with other spheres of activity for three years is carried out. Deterioration of the situation in 2020 compared to previous periods has been identified. To determine the prospects of the construction industry, the index of business activity of construction companies in 2021 was considered. In connection with the change in the level of investment, its relationship with the index of construction products is considered. Identified similar trends in the change of these indicators. Assumptions are made about the impact of inflation on the volume of construction output and its corresponding reflection on the index of construction output. Factors that hinder the activities of construction companies are listed. The increase in the cost of construction works due to higher prices of raw materials was especially noted. The measures taken by the government to create an attractive investment climate in Ukraine are indicated. The need for more thorough development of strategies for attracting domestic and foreign investors in the construction industry of Ukraine and finding new sources and forms of financing was also noted.
Does Attachment Predict Coping Strategies? An In-Depth Look At Millennials During COVID-19
Authors:   , Johnson Clinton
Published: May 2022

Individuals form attachments during the early stages of their lives, with the caregiver serving as their first attachment figure. An individual's attachment style may predict how an individual will react to challenges in life. Responses to challenges may be either adaptive (solution-focused) or maladaptive (solution-avoidant). The objective of this study was to examine how millennial adults demonstrate adaptive coping skills across attachment styles. This unique study explored the relationship between attachment style and coping strategies among five millennial adults. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling via social media and were included if they met the criteria of being a millennial adult. The study consisted of both quantitative and qualitative findings, including questionnaires that examined coping strategies and close relationships. The data was collected online and included: Shortened Ways of Coping-Revised (SWC-R), the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), and the Bird's Nest Drawing art directive. The results suggest secure attachments are associated with adaptive coping strategies; however, due to the small sample size of this study, these conclusions could not be generalized to the larger millennial population. Future research would benefit from increased sample size, diversification of millennial participants, and formal guidelines for in-person interviews with participants.
Diversidad de ideas construidas por estudiantes sobre los números reales, los números irracionales, el orden y la densidad
Authors: Montoro Virginia
Published: May 2022

Presentamos el análisis de respuestas, de estudiantes de secundaria y de universidad a cuatro tareas que indagan cómo comprenden qué es un número en general y en particular un número irracional, el orden, la densidad y el supremo de un intervalo, en los números reales. Encontramos un gradiente de profundidad en sus ideas desde (i) una visión de los enteros como modelo de número, ajenidad o inseguridad frente a estos aspectos de R, principalmente en estudiantes con menor estudio de matemática.  En una zona intermedia la (ii) concepción de los reales identificados con los decimales finitos y de una discretitud explícita, principalmente en estudiantes de secundaria y (iii) una visión en la cual se identifican a los reales con los racionales y como infinitos-potencialmente densos; presente principalmente en ingresantes a las carreras científicas. Por último y principalmente estudiantes avanzados de Matemática, que (iv) comprenden el orden, la densidad y propiedad del supremo en los reales. Mostramos que para promover que los/las estudiantes se apropien del número real, la enseñanza debe prever para los últimos años de secundaria y primeros de universidad trabajar sobre estas complejas nociones, de modo de facilitar el pasaje de una matemática escolar a una matemática avanzada.
El arrastre en un programa de geometría dinámica. Su dominio de validez como asunto de interacción entre estudiantes y docentes

Published: May 2022

Desde hace más de dos años venimos desarrollando una investigación que se propone estudiar el proceso de producción de conocimientos geométricos y didácticos de un grupo de docentes-estudiantes en interacción con sus profesores, a raíz de un trabajo de construcciones geométricas mediado por el uso del programa GeoGebra. El uso de dicho programa introduce una variable estudiada por diferentes autores y autoras que marca una diferencia con el trabajo en lápiz y papel: la posibilidad de impregnarle movimiento a los dibujos que se construyen, es decir, “arrastrarlos”. El análisis que realizamos del trabajo desarrollado por los y las docentes-estudiantes, en torno a las construcciones geométricas, nos permitió interrogarnos acerca de la relación entre el arrastre, las propiedades de la figura y la validez de lo construido. En este contexto, la idea de “soportar el arrastre” y su relación con el uso de ciertas propiedades nos resultó insuficiente para interpretar las elaboraciones de los y las docentes-estudiantes en términos de producción de conocimiento. En este artículo nos proponemos problematizar este asunto a partir del análisis de algunos episodios acontecidos en las clases del Seminario de Geometría de la Licenciatura en Enseñanza de la Matemática para la Educación Primaria de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (Unipe).

Published: May 2022

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic joint disorder worldwide and is associated with significant pain and disability. Introduction of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection has been viewed as an advance in the management of OA knee.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of PRP and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in the treatment of mild and moderate OA knee
Methods: The present randomized clinical trial had been conducted in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from 2018 to 2019. A total of 154 patients with mild and moderate OA knee were randomly allocated into two groups: group A (received PRP injection) and group B (received HA injection) where 133 patients completed the follow-up schedule. Outcomes were measured by OA specific translated and validated Bengali instrument- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS 0-10). They were followed-up for 6 months.
Results: There was no significant statistical difference at the baseline between the groups regarding age, sex, grading of OA knee, side involvement, mean duration of the disease, VAS scores and WOMAC scores. After one month, VAS score significantly decreased in PRP group compared to HA group (p<0.001). However, there was no statistical difference regarding total WOMAC scores between two groups (p=0.063). In third and sixth month, VAS score significantly decreased in PRP group compared to HA group (p<0.001). Though the stiffness and physical activity scores of WOMAC did not reduce significantly, the pain score reduced significantly in PRP group compared to HA group. In both groups, significant reduction of VAS and WOMAC total scores was observed after six months follow-up compared to baseline values (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Intra-articular platelet-rich plasma improves pain and function of the knee in patients with osteoarthritis. Though intra-articular hyaluronic acid also improves pain and function in the foot, PRP is more effective than hyaluronic acid. Multi-centered clinical trial with long term follow-up should be conducted to see the effects of PRP and HA.

Background: Since chemical anticancer drugs are found to have adverse effect on body, nowadays people are motivated towards natural agents to treat cancer. Fruits and vegetables are potential source of natural anticancer agents that protect our body against cancer by scavenging and neutralizing free radicals.
Objective: The study was aimed to explore antioxidant and anticancer properties of methanolic extract of leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (MEHSL).
Methods: In vitro assays were used to examine the different types of phytochemical content and antioxidant properties of MEHSL. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to study the effects of MEHSL on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells. Chemical constituents were also analyzed by GC–MS.
Results: Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of MEHSL were found to be 26.23±0.30 and 131.13±1.40 mg/g of extract in terms of gallic acid and catechin equivalent, respectively. The MEHSL exhibited remarkable scavenging effect on DPPH, ABTS, nitric oxide scavenging activity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation with IC50 values 6.768, 11.54, 29.84 and 17.55, respectively, compared to the positive control, catechin. In vitro cytotoxic study shows that MEHSL reduced the viability of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells in dose dependent manner. In in vivo, significant inhibition of EAC cells growth and proliferation, reduction of tumor weight and increased of survival time of EAC-bearing mice were noted following by intraperitoneal MEHSL treatment at the doses of 5 and 10 mg/ kg/day (p<0.05). Moreover, the MEHSL also altered the depleted hematological parameters like RBC, WBC, and percentage of hemoglobin (Hb %) of EAC bearing mice towards normal. Furthermore, administration of MEHSL induced apoptosis of EAC cells as observed in Hoechst-33342 stained cells under fluorescence microscope. Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (2.845%), hexadecanoic acid (9.858%), linolenic acid methyl ester (2.142%), 9,12- -octadecadien -1-Ol (2.063), alpha-glyceryl linolenate (6.138), arachidic acid (23.280%) and phthalic acid, 6-ethyloct-3-yl 2-ethylhexyl ester (74.926%) were identified as the major constituents of MEHSL by GC-MS analysis.
Conclusion: Findings of the present study suggested that the leaves of H. sabdariffa can therefore be considered as a promising resource in cancer chemotherapy.

Published: May 2022

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem and the number of organisms developing resistance to commonly used antibiotics is increasing.
Objective: The study was aimed to find out the pattern of common organism isolated from wound swabs and pus with their antibiogram.
Methods: This observational study was conducted from September 2018 to January 2019 in a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Culture and sensitivity tests were done for wound swabs and pus samples. Data regarding information of the patients, isolated organisms and culture and sensitivity reports were collected from the records of the department of microbiology.
Results: Out of 1709 samples, 72.0% yielded growth of organisms of which 86.4% were gram negative and 13.6% were gram positive bacteria. Pseudomonas spp was the most commonly (43.8%) isolated organism from both wound swab and pus samples followed by Escherichia coli (16.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (11.8%), Klebsiella spp (9.8%). Among gram negative bacteria, 14.9% were ESBL producing organisms and Klebsiella spp were the most commonly isolated ESBL producers. Most of the bacteria showed high resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Gram negative bacteria were mostly resistant to amoxicillin followed by fluoroquinolones, co-trimoxazole, and cephalosporins whereas colistin, carbapenems and piperacillin/tazobactum were the most effective drugs against them. Majority of gram positive bacteria were resistant to fluoroquinolones and co-trimoxazole but 100% Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to vancomycin, followed by linezolid (98.0%) and teicoplanin (86.0%) and 32.0% of them were Methicillin resistant (MRSA).
Conclusion: The susceptibility pattern shows that some common antibiotics, especially antibiotics of oral form have very limited usefulness in treatment of infections and also highlight the need for regular reporting and antibiogram guided antibiotic prescription.

Published: May 2022

The importance of English proficiency for non-English MGMP teachers cannot be overstated. In order to receive an appropriate score for further studies or other reasons, they must be able to answer the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) questions correctly and properly. One of the challenges for Non-English MGMP teachers in answering TOEFL questions is that they do not know the format of the questions in the exam, as well as the time constraints to learn about TOEFL because most of them are already busy with their daily work, namely teaching. Based on current issues, the use of suitable Learning Media is a solution for learning TOEFL with the assistance of teachers who can direct them to learn effectively and efficiently. To address these issues, the Blended Learning TOEFL implementation is the best approach for learning TOEFL for Non-English MGMP Teachers. This is accomplished by integrating face-to-face and online learning methods.

Pelaksanaan pengabdian berfokus pada edukasi kesiap-siagaan bencana tsunami pada anak dikawasan pesisir Teluk Tomini sebagai langkah awal untuk pengurangan resiko bencana. Hal ini dilakukan berdasar pada upaya untuk mengurangi risiko bencana pada anak, yang mana anak-anak merupakan golongan yang rentan terhadap suatu bencana. Anak-anak perlu dibekali akan berbagai informasi mengenai bencana alam, tentu saja muatan informasi tersebut dan cara penyampaiannya perlu disesuaikan dengan usia mereka. Alternatif yang mudah dalam mengenalkan konsep bencana alam ialah melalui penggunaan media pembelajaran interaktif.  Penggunaan media bertujuan untuk menarik minat anak untuk belajar dan memberikan kemudahan dalam menyajikan materi kepada anak. Pelaksanaan pengabdian edukasi kesiap-siagaan bencana tsunami pada anak menggunakan media interaktif ini menunjukkan hasil yang positif. Anak-anak lebih mengetahui tentang konsep dan penyebab dan tanda-tanda terjadinya bencana tsunami, serta tindakan-tindakan dalam menghadapi bencana tersebut. Selain itu, anak-anak bersedia untuk berbagi informasi kepada teman-teman dan keluarga tentang konsep bencana tsunami dan sikap kesia-siagaan dalam menghadapinya.

Published: May 2022

Objective : The present study aimed to identify the function of ischemic stroke (IS) patients’ peripheral blood and its role in IS, explore the pathogenesis, and provide direction for clinical research progress by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.Methods : Two datasets, including GSE58294 and GSE22255, were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. GEO2R was utilized to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs were performed using the database annotation, visualization and integrated discovery database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed by search tool of searching interactive gene and visualized by Cytoscape software, and then the Hub gene was identified by degree analysis. The microRNA (miRNA) and miRNA target genes closely related to the onset of stroke were obtained through the miRNA gene regulatory network.Results : In total, 36 DEGs, containing 27 up-regulated and nine down-regulated DEGs, were identified. GO functional analysis showed that these DEGs were involved in regulation of apoptotic process, cytoplasm, protein binding and other biological processes. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs mediated signaling pathways, including HTLV-I infection and microRNAs in cancer. The results of PPI network and cytohubba showed that there was a relationship between DEGs, and five hub genes related to stroke were obtained : SOCS3, KRAS, PTGS2, EGR1, and DUSP1. Combined with the visualization of DEG-miRNAs, hsa-mir-16-5p, hsa-mir-181a-5p and hsa-mir-124-3p were predicted to be the key miRNAs in stroke, and three miRNAs were related to hub gene.Conclusion : Thirty-six DEGs, five Hub genes, and three miRNA were obtained from bioinformatics analysis of IS microarray data, which might provide potential targets for diagnosis and treatment of IS.
Concussions in Boxers: Head Rotations and Neck Stiffness

Background: The human head-and-neck has three degrees of rotational freedom – pitch, roll, and yaw. While the evolution of the head-and-neck mobility may have increased the overall fitness of homo sapiens, our head-and-neck mobility may have also introduced some differential vulnerability to injuries in impact-induced head rotations about the pitch, roll, and yaw axes. Methods and Findings: We examined impact-induced head rotations in boxing matches by analyzing videos. Our objective was to seek a quantitative relationship between impact-induced head kinematics and the knockout outcome. For each of the three rotational degrees of freedom, head angular velocities of impact-induced head rotations were significantly higher in knockout hits than in control hits without a knockout (p < 0.02). Knockout thresholds in pitch-roll-yaw measured as impact-induced head angular velocities were anisotropic with the lowest threshold in roll and became progressively higher in yaw and pitch, in that order. Regardless of the pitch-roll-yaw bearing, the velocities of the striking fists in knockout hits were not significantly higher than those in control hits. Conclusions: Accurate prediction of knockout via head kinematics was possible with pitch-roll-yaw information. Impact-induced head kinematics was strongly influenced by neck stiffness, making a case for the utility of reflexively increasing neck stiffness as an effective way to reduce impact-induced head rotations and concussion risk.

Objective: Investigate safety and feasibility of a 12-hour delayed rewarming intervention on infants following congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery. Study Design: Pilot randomized control trial of infants <6 months old with CHD undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Infants were randomized 1:1 to standard of care (SOC) or to delayed rewarming intervention, accomplished by using a commercially available temperature regulating blanket set to gradually rewarm from 35°C to 36.5°C in the 12-hours following surgery. Safety was assessed by comparing the frequency of severe adverse events (SAE) for 48 hours after surgery. Feasibility was assessed by analysis of temperature data. Results: Twelve infants were randomized to SOC and 10 to the intervention group. Eight infants (36%) were female, 6 (27%) had Trisomy 21 and 7 (32%) had surgery in the first two weeks of life. Two SOC and one intervention infant had at least one SAE (p=0.57). Feasibility of the delayed rewarming intervention was demonstrated by a statistically significant difference in temperature over time between groups (p<0.001). Heart rates for infants in the intervention group were slower during and after the intervention, without significant changes in blood pressure. Infants in the intervention group had no evidence of coagulopathy with lower, but not statistically significantly lower, chest tube output at alltime points. Conclusions: There were no differences in the number of SAEs for the delayed rewarming group and the temperature curve indicates that the intervention is feasible. The results of this small study, from a single, small volume center must be interpreted cautiously. (NCT03036072).

Giant cystic hygroma of the neck often represents a pathology in children with severe potential complications and considerable technical difficulties in surgical therapy, which often makes it necessary because the alternative therapies provided are not available. A case of a cystic hygroma with a maximum diameter of 10 cm, located in the neck of a 3-year-old girl, with sudden rapid growth and an underlying inclusion cyst compressing the internal jugular vein, is described. The case was resolved with radical surgical therapy, without complications, without recurrence, and with acceptable aesthetic results.
