Published: June 2023

The large-scale war started in Ukraine caused an intense surge of informational aggression and informational confrontation, the waves of which spread almost all over the world. Artificially prepared information is used as a weapon that works no less effectively than army weapons. The purpose of information weapons is primarily human consciousness and mass consciousness. Information security of human life and society in the conditions of intense information war becomes a priority task, as a guarantee of physical security. In the information war, which in the conditions of a flarge-scale military operations in Ukraine has become no less hot, new features and peculiarities are obvious: openness and frankness of information influences; the global nature of the information war; aggravation of information clashes, disputes, disputes; intensity of information attacks; attempts to disable military and infrastructure facilities by means of information; aggressiveness of information actions; informational violence; strict restrictions on access to information; politicization of information; significant polarization of information; an increase in the share of emotional coloring and subjective interpretation relative to the share of facts. Based on an overview of the scale of the informational impact on society and the destructive consequences, it can be argued that information is one of the weapons of mass impression. The best ways to counter informational influences and aggression are to provide true and comprehensive information; education of the population in the form of information security courses; individual trainings, especially for responsible persons; training of information security trainers; broad propaganda and development of information culture in the information society; media education - schools and information literacy courses for the population; learning the rules of information hygiene, prudence and legibility when contacting information. In particular, it is necessary to teach citizens critical thinking and recognition of negative informational influences, manipulation, misinformation, falsification, etc.

The activity of determining the energy efficiency of electric motors includes several stages of work. These include modeling the operation of engines with the help of specialized software products, which allows you to determine the necessary parameters of electrical energy consumption, load, and rotational parameters in various operating modes. However, the most effective way is to obtain the real operating characteristics of the electric motor on test stands. This is due to many factors, from mechanical malfunctions to inconsistencies in the technical characteristics declared by the manufacturer. At the same time, both for the first and other methods, the problem lies in the optimization of the measuring equipment, which requires reducing the error, increasing the speed and sensitivity of the measuring transducers. The parameters that require special attention include the consumption of electrical energy, which in certain areas of industry is decisive during the design of technological sites, determination of industrial policy, production volumes, etc. This article proposes a way to establish the relationship between these parameters, the practical value of which, in different operating modes of the electric motor, will make it possible to evaluate both the economic efficiency of the electric machine and the possible risks associated with safe further operation, the period of operation and the ability to create the necessary acceleration moments at given loads.

During the period of military condition, one of the defining factors of the national economy and the welfare of the society is a well-established, automated process of delivery of cargoes by automobile transport. Changing business models under the influence of the situation in the country requires more flexible methods, as an example of which can be the formation of information networks to strengthen transport communications and to reduce transaction costs in the industry. Modern information and digital systems provide enterprises with effective strategic management, due to analysis of collected data and further planning of activity using risk-management methods. But it is also important to consider the security of such data and the protection of consumer privacy. Digital technologies are actively used in transport logistics when making certain payments for the given services. When delivering a cargo, as a rule, all conditions specified in the contract of carriage must be fulfilled. All payment transactions are carried out on digital platforms and demonstrate high efficiency, as well as the possibility to monitor compliance with payment terms. However, the expansion of the use of digital technologies in transport logistics has much greater potential, which will provide significant efficiency of the whole transport and logistics system. Digital technologies are built to meet the specific requirements of the task. The large number of operations during transportation of cargoes, peculiarities of transportation, as well as the necessary types of packing, storage and sorting include a certain array of data. They also provide data sets that need to be quickly integrated into specific threads. A very important component is the creation of information systems in the digital industry, where all transactions are carried out in digital format and show high results. In the case of road transportation, the transport documentation is fully transferred to the electronic platform and significantly reduces the cost of the unit of the transported cargo. Currently, software is being developed, connected with the use of electronic goods and transport waybills (e-TTS) for all types of transport. By using new innovative methods, on the example of electronic goods and transport waybill, the processing time of documents is reduced to 90%, protection of confidential information in cloud servers, cost savings on documentation printing, easy and fast search of documents with the help of online archive, convenient format of work for drivers, possibility of integration with existing systems with the help of API. All these indicators positively influence the development of transport processes and rapid achievement of results at the lowest cost.

Developing a model of the customs cargo handling process that allows making sound technological, design, and management decisions, changing input parameters, and carrying out long-term planning based on information on the occupancy of control points, customs zones of the border customs office, customs teams, throughput capacity of checkpoints, technical means of customs control and communication, types of customs regimes, and standardisation of the duration of all components of customs cargo handling. To develop a model of the customs cargo processing process, it is advisable to use systems of parallel information processing and parallel operation of objects, which include, for example, modelling with the help of Petri nets. The model developed on the basis of Petri nets for describing the customs cargo handling process shows that, in addition to being clear and easy to use, it makes it possible to take into account various probabilistic factors. Having developed a mathematical model of customs processing of cargo when vehicles cross the state border, it can be concluded that along with technological operations (time for customs clearance at the internal customs, time for customs procedures at the checkpoint), there are non-productive operations - downtime (time for waiting for customs clearance at the internal customs, time for waiting for customs procedures at the checkpoint), which significantly affect the time of customs border crossing. The mathematical apparatus of Petri nets will allow to study the dynamics of the system under study and its behaviour under different initial conditions. It has been found that the number of customs control and customs clearance officers has the greatest impact on the time of customs processing of goods; By building a mathematical model based on Petri nets, an effect of 1.11% was achieved. As a result of applying the developed mathematical model of the customs cargo processing process, an effect of 42 minutes was obtained.

Problem. The teaching of reading in elementary schools of America has long been a subject of intense interest to the American public. The comprehension component of the criterion referenced reading program, Wisconsin Design for Reading Skills Development, is a product being developed to teach reading skills. The main purpose of the study was to determine and describe the effects of the program on reading achievement and self-concept of sixth grade students. Method. This was a quasi-experimental study using a parametric technique. One-way multi-variate analysis of covariance and two-way univariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the results of the Stanford Achievement test scores. Univariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the results of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and Michigan Educational Assessment Program. Significance of difference between independent proportions was used to analyze the WDRSD scores for the treatment group. There were forty-four sixth grade students in the treatment group (nineteen boys and twenty-five girls) and one hundred three in the control group (forty-seven boys and fifty-six girls) who were tested for treatment and sex. Results. Treatment girls scored significantly higher than non-treatment girls in reading--especially spelling. Treatment boys scored significantly higher in spelling. Both treatment boys and treatment girls met the criterion for WDRSD results. There were no significant differences between any groups on self-esteem. Conclusions. Although the comprehension component of Wisconsin Design still needs some refinement, it is a useful program worthy of further development and application.

Alternativas de tratamento vêm sendo pesquisadas para esses pacientes, em tentativas de interferência no processo fisiopatológico da doença óssea. Radioisótopos e agentes sem atividade citotóxica têm se destacado neste aspecto, e este artigo sobrepassa as diversas alternativas terapêuticas em investigação clínica para esse grupo de pacientes.
Comics: a tillichian perspective on religion and culture
Authors: Moraes Gerson Leite de , Domingues Rebecca
Published: June 2023

This work aims to understand how comics, are able to manifest religiosity, taking Paul Tillich’s theology of culture as a perspective. The main delimiter of the proposed subject is in the attitude of marginalization and infantilization of the comics, which places them in a place of irrelevance for the theological look. Thus, the question arises: what are comics? Are they art? What is its origin and development? Is there a possible relationship between theology and comics? How does Paul Tillich’s perspective understand this? In order for this understanding to be achieved, the bibliographic review methodology was used, which first sought to narrate the history of the comics; and, subsequently, related Tillichi’s understanding of religion and culture, in an attempt to demonstrate whether this element is capable of providing a religious discourse worthy of the theology’s gaze and analysis. During this investigation, it was verified, from a brief discussion about its artistic aspects, that comics can be considered as art, and, therefore, as part of culture. Secondly, it was found that for Tillich, religion has a deep meaning of relationship with the direction of our conscience to what he calls “Unconditional”, and the Unconditional, in turn, can come to be manifested both in what we call concrete religions, as in what we call culture. In this way, culture demonstrated itself as a stage for religious discourses that are manifested, especially, through the ultimate concern. This concern is what Tillich will describe as being taken by what touches us unconditionally, and it was revealed, in this research, as a completely possible reality for comics, making them apt to be the target of the gaze and theological studies. Thus, both culture as a whole and comics – as a cultural element – can be identified as entities conducive to theology, and relevant to this field of study.

Cluster policy as a tool for integrating Ukraine's tourism products into the global tourism market is common to most countries around the world. Formation and development of tourist clusters in the regions of Ukraine will allow to provide comprehensive services of high quality. This will strengthen the competitive advantages of the hospitality industry of Ukraine and integrate regional and national tourism products into the global tourism market.
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPANY PROFITABILITY. CASE-STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES
Authors:   Sumy State University, Nesterenko Volodymyr
Published: June 2023

The article systematizes a set of approaches for evaluating the effect of marketing communications on the level of profitability of companies. To achieve this goal, a number of methods were used, in particular: statistical analysis, the method of assumptions, the method of composition, the method of systematization, and the method of trends. The scientific novelty of the study is related to the development of the classification of types of marketing communications, in particular, the selection of their alternative types, the appearance of which is due to the emergence of new management solutions aimed at ensuring the financial and market goals of companies. The characteristics of these alternative types of communications are presented, which were established based on the study of the main elements of individual marketing campaigns of well-known modern brands. It is shown that the nature of the use of these marketing communications depends on the financial status and goals of the companies that implement program measures for the promotion of products (services). The study analyzed how companies can be guided by different approaches in choosing ways to achieve profitability from managing the implementation of marketing tools. Crisis phenomena in the economy at the global, national level, unprofitability of enterprises (or the threat of it) are a prerequisite for the use of appropriate tools in marketing campaigns that would affect countering external challenges and overcoming financial threats. In this case, the main approach to marketing management is the implementation of those tools that will allow you to overcome unprofitability, increase revenue and market share. This option of managing marketing tools involves companies turning to both traditional and alternative marketing communications. Separate types of alternative marketing communications, the types, content and characteristics of which have not been conceptually defined in modern scientific thought, are analyzed. In particular, it is proposed to single out such a type of one-way marketing communication as informing about the level of further viability and stability of a company (brand) that has gained the loyalty (or affection) of customers.
CONVERGENT AND DIVERGENT TRENDS OF INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL-URBAN AGGREGATIONS OF UKRAINE: INTERNATIONAL AND UKRAINIAN CONTEXT
Authors:   Odesa National Technological University, Pavlova Iryna
Published: June 2023

The article deals with the theoretically and practically relevant problem of the manifestation of convergent and divergent trends in the inclusive development of UTC and regions of Ukraine, which are identified as rural-urban agglomerations. For our country, the specified issue is of crucial importance both from the point of view of the successful completion of the reform of decentralization of public power and management, which began in the pre-war period, and the prospects of her accession to the EU. In view of this, the purpose of the study is to justify the scientific approach to the definition of essential features, which are used to monitor the manifestation of convergent and divergent trends in the inclusive development of ruralurban agglomeration formations. For her implementation, the following tasks were formulated: to reveal the differences between the Ukrainian and international context of convergence; to propose classification signs by which manifestations of convergent and divergent tendencies should be monitored; to characterize the scientific approach to defining the club convergence version of the inclusivity of rural-urban agglomerations. The achievement of the research goal was facilitated by the use of scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on the specified problem, systemic, institutional and synergistic approaches, of the principle of interdisciplinarity, comparative method, methods of SWOT-analysis, analysis and synthesis. The kinship of the processes of convergence and inclusivity, which take place in a common space, is argued: as a result of inclusive development, contradictions within such paired dichotomies as “alienation (detachment) ‒ involvement” are overcome; “exclusivity (exclusion) ‒ inclusiveness (inclusion)”; “segregation – integration”; thereby manifesting its essential and morphological similarity with convergence and divergen, which in this sense appear as a form of inclusion and exclusion, integration and disintegration. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the defined essence of the club convergence versionof the inclusive development of rural-urban agglomerations according to administrative-territorial, demographic-settlement, resource, industry and socio-spatial feature. Based on the results of the research, certain generalizations were made, practical recommendations were given, and it was noted that the proposed scientific approach opens up new opportunities for identifying convergent-divergent trends of inclusive development at the level of individual UTC and districts.

Published: June 2023

The regulatory policy of Ukraine needs improvement and changes, which can be developed and implemented based on the study and consideration of foreign experience. The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities and characteristic features of the organization of regulatory policy in European countries. Differences and certain common aspects of the regulatory policy of European countries are analyzed. The purpose of development and implementation of the regulatory policy of the countries in question is determined. The experience of implementing the regulatory policy of other countries makes it possible to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a certain policy, as well as to choose a reference point for the domestic regulatory policy, taking into account its specific features. It has been established that the main goal of the regulatory policy of most European countries is to reduce the regulatory burden on business, citizens or state administrations based on the openness and transparency of decision-making, as well as the involvement of citizens and stakeholders in the process of forming and implementing regulatory policy. As a result of the study, the models of regulatory policy formed in European countries were determined. The first model is characterized by the combination of freedom of entrepreneurship with the social obligations of the state, which is designed to guarantee each person a minimum level of material well-being and create conditions for the development of his personality; strict control over budget revenues and expenses (Germany and other countries of Western Europe). The second model, which can be called the most democratic model of economic and political development of a regulated market economy, is based on the pluralism of forms of ownership and economic power (on the condition that it is not concentrated in the hands of entrepreneurs and trade unions) and the socialization of the sphere of distribution (Scandinavian countries, partly Spain, Portugal). Prospects for further research should be the study of the experience of building and implementing regulatory policies of other countries, as well as determining the possibility of their implementation in Ukraine.

Authors:   Mykolayiv National Agrarian University, Honcharenko Iryna
Published: June 2023

The use of the mechanism of regional competitiveness enhancement is to maintain and strengthen the region's resource, intellectual, social and human capital. The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of using artificial neural networks for forecasting indicators of competitiveness, which have a direct impact on subsystems and elements of competitiveness of regions. The practical application of the method of learning artificial neural networks allows you to predict the scenarios of the development of the indicator, confidence intervals, and the amount of the forecasting error. The analysis data can be used in planning the strategic development of the region, studying trends in indicators. The use of software greatly facilitates and simplifies the process of calculations and allows you to obtain data in graphical and calculated form, which is a necessary condition for the interpretation and analysis of data by economists. Forecasting regional competitiveness indicators with the help of neural networks allows testing, obtaining several forecast results and evaluating the forecast results by calculating the average error. Comparison of the obtained values of the calculated average error allows you to choose the forecasting result that is the most acceptable and possible for further use. Taking into account the values of forecast indicators of the region's competitiveness is necessary when planning the region's development strategy, when choosing strategic priorities and initiatives, emphasis is placed on achieving the forecast values of the «markers» of the strategy. Using the example of the indicator of the gross regional product of the region, calculations of the forecast of changes in the indicator were carried out using the Statistica software by the method of artificial neural network modeling. The gross regional product is an indicator chosen for analysis due to certain of its strong positive aspects: universality of the comparative base, availability of statistical data, economic sense. The study of competitiveness requires an understanding of the prospects for the development of its indicators, since their management affects the overall indicator. Competitiveness forecasting makes it possible to create a prognostic scenario of the development of both competitiveness factors, its components, and the object of research in general. However, the use of forecasting tools requires knowledge of certain nuances that accompany forecasting: peculiarities of using software tools, checking the forecast by calculating the standard error, etc.

Published: June 2023

The article examines network entrepreneurial structures as new subjects of the digital economy. Defined and generalized understanding of the essence of such structures from the point of view of a separate unit that uses information technology networks to connect people, assets and ideas to create and distribute products and services without the constraints of traditional organizational boundaries or physical location; consolidation of business units in which human and work processes interact, seeking joint results and mutual benefit; formation of a network of people or organizations that are independent, implement a joint project or joint economic activity. It was found that in Ukraine, network business structures belong to the class of enterprise associations and are created in the form of concerns, holdings and other types of enterprise associations. It has been proven that rapid changes in information and communication technologies and the external environment, as well as the elimination of barriers between the enterprise and the environment, are the main prerequisites for the formation of network business structures. It was determined that both divisions of a large enterprise, as well as individual enterprises and freelancers, can be integrated into the network business structure. The typification of network business structures was formed according to six classification features, namely: branch direction; scope of activity; term of formation; management model; the nature of obligations; depending on the purpose of combining enterprises into a network business structure. The advantages of creating network business structures are systematized, namely: increased organizational flexibility; stability of ties between integrated enterprises within the network business structure; decentralization of the organizational structure; a higher level of coordination and communication between units integrated into the network business structure; openness to organizational changes; universality and adaptability of the network business structure; better access to resources and expertise; cost reduction; advanced innovation; increasing competitiveness.

The issue of providing the population of Ukraine with housing is an important task of socio-economic policy and the implementation of housing and social development programs of the country. Solving this problem is impossible without sufficient investment support in the housing construction sector and the creation of an attractive investment climate for capital owners. The socio-economic effect of investing in the construction of residential real estate for national economies is investigated in the article. The essence of the investment process and its main features in the field of housing construction were also investigated. The set of qualitative characteristics of investment in residential real estate was defined here. The structure of interests of potential investors in the industry by relevant objects and types of assets is evaluated. An analysis of the volume, structure and dynamics of investment flows in the field of housing construction in terms of investment provision by types of economic activity in Ukraine was carried out. The conducted assessment showed a small share of the volume of investments in housing construction in all sectors of the national economy – no more than 9%. The analysis of the size and structure of investment provision in the construction industry showed that the peak volumes of capital investments in the construction of residential real estate objects took place during 2018–2019. Their share was about 69%. The growth of investment flows in housing construction has caused an increase in the number of residential objects put into operation in all their types (apartment buildings, single-apartment buildings, dormitories). The positions of Ukraine in the world rankings of the investment attractiveness of the national economy have been evaluated. The key trends of the investment attractiveness of the world market of residential real estate are investigated. The investment attractiveness of domestic primary and secondary housing markets is analyzed. The creation of joint real estate investment funds, institutional support for the creation of crowdfunding online platforms, investment digital platforms, development and implementation of "green" housing construction standards are proposed as the main tools for increasing the investment attractiveness of housing construction.

The results of the survey indicate the growing significance of the term online leadership and group cohesion in the field of hr – management of enterprises in the construction industry, there are cases of gaps in digital professional communications that arise in everyday work, especially in specific conditions (autonomous remote work in conditions of a pandemic, forced emigration during martial law from Ukraine). Working groups or project groups cooperate in professional groups (labor teams). It is shown that the socio-economic efficiency of work of professional groups (productivity, etc.) is directly dependent on the level of group cohesion. Passive personnel and motivation policy, professional development of employees is not fully realized; management pays more attention to business and profit than to caring for subordinates; lack of socio-psychological analysis of the workforce; low/weak coefficients of group dynamics; indicators of employee satisfaction with work are below average, there are cases of conflicts between team members, a feeling of "internal liberation". In the conditions (pandemic covid-19, martial law), stress processes were activated, which can cause maladaptation to working life. Possible forms of knowledge management at enterprises in the construction industry: investing in professional development: training, retraining or upgrading the qualifications of employees; providing opportunities for non-formal education, self-management; encouraging participation in corporate trainings for personal growth, dedicated to, for example, effective business communication, mastering time management skills, which will allow employees to free up more time for acquiring new knowledge and participating in the exchange program; training in digital development programs offered by the Ministry of Digital Transformation through educational series and automated testing. Along with professional skills programs, the formation and effectiveness of social development plans to ensure harmonious group dynamics and functional communications is important.
