The Nature of Geographical Knowledge in Hittite Anatolia in the 18th to 12th Centuries BCE in the Light of Cuneiform Sources
Authors: Kryszeń Adam
Published: December 2020

The talk will discuss a new, three-year project that is about to start at the University of Warsaw. It's aim is to investigate selected aspects of the –broadly speaking – Hittite perception of the world on the basis of the original Hittite cuneiform texts. It is organized into five subsequent partial (sub)investigations:

Understanding Hittite space and place. Distribution and function of Hittite geographical determinatives.

The structure and function of borders and border descriptions.

Itineraries and the problem of distance.

Geographical horizon and the role of space and territorial expansion in the royal ideology.

Geography in Hittite epic and myth.
Economic models in Ancient Near East economies
Authors: First Grzegorz
Published: December 2020

Input definitions:

Economy – the core is the allocation of goods and resources

Model – theoretical and simplified concept of reality the aim of which is to illustrate mechanisms governing the reality

Two assumptions:

we do not treat Near East economy as a whole

problem with precise statistical data referring to the ancient times

Models:

circulations: production, storage, distribution and consumption

 G=f(P, R, T, I), where G is global income (produced goods),P – people, R – resources, T – technology and I – institutions

cooperation between state (including religious institutions) and private sector

question of existence of market economy - demand and supply with price or its equivalent as a tool of relation

Terms and persons to clarify:

nmḥ (Egyptian) - people, who had own land and paid taxes to the royal treasure = ἐλεύθερος (Greek)

tamkaru (Akkadian) - royal clerks who performed long-distance trade for fixed prices

embeddedness - economic behaviour in certain historical and social conditions as well as cultural and even religious ones

John Maynard Keynes – British economist (1883-1946) - Keynesianism idea assumes a great role of the state as the creator of demand

Key problem: correspondence of contemporary economic models with the reality of the ancient Near East

Question of the talk: translation of economic rules current in our times into different realities in the earlier times – continuity vs. change
Clay Figurines from Sirkeli Höyük
Authors: Looney Moira
Published: December 2020

Sirkeli Höyük is a settlement mound in the cilician plain near Adana, Turkey. It was first excavated in the 1930s by John Garstang. Work there was resumed in the 1990s by Barthel Hrouda and Horst Ehringhaus, and then again from 2006 until the present day; initially by the Universities of Tübingen and Çanakkale and subsequently (2011 onwards) by the Universities of Bern and Çanakkale. My Master’s thesis focused on the terracotta figurines unearthed during the excavations from 1992 onwards. Its aim was to construct a classification for the material from Sirkeli Höyük, which I documented, classified and catalogued according to their shape. I did not create a completely new classification, but rather tried to build on work form A. Pruss and H. Goldmann, who’s approaches I adapted to suit the material from Sirkeli Höyük. The terracotta figurines found to date span the following epochs: the Hellenistic period, the Iron Age, the Late Bronze Age, and the Middle Bronze Age. The first aim of my PhD is to construct a working typology for these terracotta figurines by clearly defining the criteria of each of the different types. In a second phase I intend to elaborate my existing comparison of the material from Sirkeli Höyük and figurines from other excavations in the cicilian plain, to document their geographical distribution and diversity. The final phase will be an evaluation of the temporal dispersion of differing styles with a view to determining the extent of any extra-regional influences.
Purity without Borders: Material Culture and Jewish Diaspora in the Late Second Temple Period
Authors: Schöpf Friederike
Published: December 2020

Chalkstone vessels, interpreted as objects for certain Jewish purity concerns, found on Tall Zira’a, near Gadara (Northern Jordan), bring up the question how purity obligations were practiced in the early Jewish Diaspora during the Roman Period. In Israel they are mostly known in the region of Galilee and Iudaea, in Jewish religiously observant environments.Growing numbers of those finds in Jordan – also in small scale settlements - in general show a larger distribution of these objects than originally thought. I would like to discuss if we see here a religious concern, a certain ‘aesthetical’ trend or a matter of identity.How have they been relevant to the community that lived outside the borders of ‘Biblical Israel’ and had no frequent access to the Temple or Jerusalem as a holy centre? Could the indication of the objects change in a more Gentile environment like Jordan?These material finds could be an opportunity to approach a wider understanding of the daily life of the early Diaspora.
Sacked and Cursed? New data on the transition from the city-state to the Hittite capital Hattuša
Authors: Strupler Néhémie
Published: December 2020

When: Karum Period: First centuries of the 2nd millennium B.C. when Assyrian and Anatolian merchants took part in large-scale commercial exchanges between Aššur and central Anatolia. Most of the epigraphic finds come  from the 19th century BC, and the 18th century is less known. We don’t know how the commercial exchanges came to an end. Until the establishment of the administration at the Hittite capital Hattuša/Boğazköy (1650), there is a hiatus in the epigraphical records for more than a century. Who: Anitta, son of Pithana, an ambitious ruler who created one of the first Kingdom in Central Anatolian (modern Turkey) in the mid 18th century.Where: Boğazköy (modern name, in Central Anatolia) was a city called Ḫattuš and was an exchange place in the Anatolian Network of the Karum period. The site was selected as the capital of the Hittites around 1650 by Ḫattušili I, the first well attested Hittite King.
Gone with the wind? Research on abandonment processes as part of Neolithic ways of life in Göbekli Tepe
Authors: Schönicke Julia
Published: December 2020

While most archaeological research is focused on the reasons for starting cultural activities (such as building a house, setting up a settlement, starting to produce a groundstone), my PhD project “Neolithic ways of life” is concerned with the end of settlements. Within the framework of the study fields Landscape Archaeology and Archaeology of Abandonment, I analyse the processes of abandonment at the PPN A+B hill site Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Anatolia. With the slow advent of agriculture and animal husbandry during the Neolithization, the site was abandoned at the end of the 9th millennium BCE.The site is famous for its large circular structures which are equipped with monolithic T-shaped pillars that were built by groups who lived from foraging. Far less is known about Göbekli Tepe as a settlement, nine hectares densely covered with round and rectangular buildings with sets of domestic activities of daily life.My research focuses on architectural analysis such as re-modelling and re-use of buildings, a detailed study of the room fills in combination with the development of a systematic sampling strategy, to examine continuities and discontinuities of abandonment practices in Göbekli Tepe.In my presentation, I will stress the importance of abandonment studies inarchaeology and give methodological examples for how I identify abandonment in the archaeological record. The importance of small-scale excavations cannot be overestimated in this context. Furthermore, I will provide insights into my dissertation project, my fieldwork at Göbekli Tepe and first preliminary results.The talk has the aim to discuss the potential of small-scale or micro-archaeology and its contribution to questions concerning the end of habitations and whole settlements. By examining these processes in detail, the diversity of and the (in-)stability in settlement practices can be reconstructed, refining our understanding of past societies.
nam-nar/nārūtu in the Seleucid Period: revisiting an excerpt of CT 17, pl. 18 [BM 34223+]
Authors: Sánchez Munõz Daniel
Published: December 2020

We find the following textual excerpt in the cuneiform tablet BM 34223+, a manuscript of the exorcistic bilingual (Sumerian-Akkadian) series from the Seleucid Period currently known as “Compendium”:

iv 18. en2 saŋ-gig an-eden-na i3-du7-du7 im-gen7 mu-un-ri-riiv 19. im-dub 24 EZEN(šer3/kešda) nam-nar eš2-gar3 udug-ḫul-meš nu al-til

iv 18. Incantation: “The (demon of the) headache whirls in the steppe, and it drifts there like the wind”iv 19. 24th Tablet. Song/riksu of the nam-nar. Series “Evil demons”. Not complete.

There have been several interpretations in the past for the “EZEN nam-nar” of this textual excerpt; however, all of them have been based on different readings and meanings of EZEN without a serious analysis of the textual mentions of the Sumerian nam-nar (and its Akkadian equivalent nārūtu) during the Seleucid Period.
Is the Erasing of the Metal Ware in the Banquet Scene of Assurbanipal, an Aspect of the damnatio memoriae?
Authors: Baaklini Adonice-Ackad
Published: December 2020

When one speaks about the damnatio memoriae, examples from classical time comes immediately to mind, but that phenomenon was not rare in the civilisations of the ancient Near East. Because of its master piece statute and its popularity, the Banquet Scene of Assurbanipal (645-635 BCE) is often quoted as a typical example of damnatio memoriae in the Near East. Indeed, the faces of the king and of the queen were mutilated after the fall of the Assyrian Empire, but a close look to the relief shows that the bowl engraved in the hand of Assurbanipal was also intentionally erased. Has that no specific meaning, or just coincidental? The aim of this paper is to answer those interrogations. To do so, we will study, through an analysis of the iconographic, archaeological and written sources, the symbolic meaning of the ware used during banquets. The objective is to see if luxury recipients could have had such a strong association with the royal figure that they could have been considered as a symbol of kingship and if erasing them could have contributed to the damnatio memoriae.
On the Aramaic Onomasticon in the Cuneiform Text Corpus
Authors: Simonson Brandon
Published: December 2020

Most of the Aramaic onomasticon is not located in extant alphabetic sources, but instead can be found in cuneiform sources. In order to learn more about the reach of Aramaic through the individuals using it as a spoken language during the first half of the first millennium BCE, we must attend to the Aramaic personal names that appear in this much larger corpus of texts and inscriptions. Using a method that considers both linguistic and conceptual criteria, this paper compiles and analyzes possible Aramaic names that appear in the cuneiform text corpus and culminates with an updated list of the genuine Aramaic onomasticon. Ultimately, this paper provides insight that may be used in identifying West Semitic and other foreign onomastica in the cuneiform text corpus. My talk presents the results of this paper, which emerges from a much larger study of Aramaic names in the first millennium BCE.
The Materiality of Cylinder Seals
Authors: Gäumann Nicole
Published: December 2020

In the 1980ies Dr. Julia Asher-Greve conducted chemical and mineralogical material analysis on cylinder seals as a part of her SNF-funded project „Naturwissenschaftliche und typologische Untersuchungen an Rollsiegeln“. 1017 seals have been analysed using the non-destructive methods of EDS-XFA (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis) for chemical classification and XRF (X-ray diffraction) for mineralogical classification. This was one of the first large scale projects on Mesopotamian glyptic with its main focus on materiality rather than style, iconography or inscription as was usually the case when working on cylinder seals. Since then much work on the materiality of seals has been done, mostly by institutions such as the British Museum. This is because those institutions have access to large seal corpora and they either have the funds to pay for the costly analysis or possess the means to analyse the seals themselves.

As I ‘inherited’ the unfinished project of Dr. Asher-Greve including the analysis (which still need to be interpreted), I am painfully aware of the difficulties and problems to be encountered with such old analysis. In my 10-minute talk I will give an insight to the chances and limitations of scientific material analysis on archaeological artefacts. For especially small and precious objects like cylinder seals need to be treated with the uttermost care and under no circumstances should they take damage in the process of being analysed.
Strength assessment of rice hills from different planting distance by loading simulation
Authors: Santosa Edi , Agusta Herdhata , Guntoro Dwi , Zaman Sofyan
Published: December 2020

Plant spacing arrangement might benefit hill strength from the impact of strong wind velocity during extreme weather situations. Here, a loading test to evaluate rice hill strength was performed on Ciherang variety grown in square and double row spacing 2:1. The research was conducted at Cilubang village, Dramaga, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia from March to May 2017. Weight holding capacity was evaluated in 85 days after transplanting on four levels of hill height, i.e., 80 cm, 60 cm, 40 cm, and 20 cm above soil level with three-time replication. The results showed that double-spaced hills had 66.0 % ± 3.1 % stronger than those of square spacing at all height measurement. To lodge a hill into 20 cm to 40 cm from soil level, it required 346.7 g to 741.7 g in square spacing, and 555.2 g to 1149.2 g in double row spacing. Stronger hills in double row spacing seemed to correlate with a higher number of tiller and hills architecture; it requires further study in the role of both factors on the hill strength improvement. The present study recommends applying double row spacing to improve rice hill strength especially at a time with a high chance of lodging by strong wind incident.

Authors: Herliana Okti , Ahadiyat Yugi R
Published: December 2020

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of branch pruning and chicken manure application on improving the growth and yield of broccoli in the lowland. The research was conducted in the dry land of Kutasari Village, Baturraden District, Banyumas Regency at 138 m above sea level. The research was arranged in a Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications consisting of two factors of chicken manure application (without chicken manure and with chicken manure at doses of 10 ton.ha-1 and 20 ton.ha-1) and branch pruning (without and with branch pruning of 25% and 50%). The pruning was performed when the plants initiated flowers. The observed data were analyzed with the F test and followed with Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a P>0.05. The branch pruning resulted in a significant effect on the number of leaves, leaf width, head weight, and head diameter. Meanwhile, the chicken manure application showed a significant effect on all of the observed variables. There was an interaction effect of branch pruning and chicken manure application on the leaf width, head weight, and head diameter. The best result was obtained by the combined treatment of 50% branch pruning and 20 ton.ha-1 chicken manure, resulting in the head weight of 1048.33 g.plant-1 and leaf width of 1705.41 cm2.
Morphological characteristics and yield performance of mutant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] M6 genotypes in Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java
Authors: Yoel Andrew , Rachmadi Meddy
Published: December 2020

Current breeding efforts in soybean largely focus on identifying genotypes with high seed yield and large seed size. Our study applied a mutation using 250 Gy Gamma-Ray Irradiation to soybean cv. Anjasari. The variability in the M1 generation was identified, and the planting was continued to M2 M3, M4, M5 until M6 generation. The objectives of this research were to evaluate mutant lines exhibiting a good performance in yield and morphological characteristics that can support the yield component in M6 generation. This research was conducted from January 2019 to May 2019 at Ciparanje Experiment Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, West Java. The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Completely Block Design with fifteen mutant soybean genotypes as treatments with two replications within each treatment. The results showed several genotypes produced higher yield and better agro-morphological characteristics. The genotypes MR-33, MR-4A, and MR-2A showed significantly higher number of total pods per plant. Meanwhile, the genotypes MR-35A, MR-37, MR-23, MR-36A, MR-3A, MR-29A MR-34A, MR-4A, MR-17, and MR-5A showed a higher value in weight of 100 seeds. The highest yield was observed in MR-29A and MR-23, which then will be used as the genotypes for multilocation test for stability.

Published: December 2020

Nepenthes, also known as pitcher plant, are unique and interesting flora developed as ornamental plants. This species has an attraction not only on the flowers but also on the diverse shapes and colors of the pitchers. Each Nepenthes species and hybrid has a variety of characters. The genetic relationship and diversity in Nepenthes species and hybrids can be determined based on the morphological characterization. The purpose of this study was to determine the similarity level among the Nepenthes accessions based on 31 qualitative characters. In this study, 30 Nepenthes species and 11 hybrids were used. The range of the similarity coefficient of Nepenthes species was 0.28-0.65, and divided into two major groups namely group A and B. Group A was the Nepenthes population which had petioles consisted of 17 accessions, while group B had folius consisting of 24 accessions. It indicated that when the similarity value is higher, the similarity level between each plant becomes higher. Principle Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) provided an overview of the relationship among the genotypes in coordinates. Species with a high similarity coefficient were in a close position, whereas species with a low similarity coefficient were in a remote position. Based on the PCoA, the species were grouped based on the similar characters, which was supported by the dendrograms.
Determinants Of Subjective Well-Being: Evidence Of Urban Indonesia
Authors: Nandini Dewi , Afiatno Bambang Eko
Published: December 2020

Happiness studies on economics have increasingly arisen since the uprising of the Easterlin Paradox phenomenon. Besides its populous side, the urban area has more complicated problems than rural. This research aims to analyze the determinants of happiness in urban Indonesia. We use the latest data from the Happiness Measurement Survey 2017 conducted by the BPS-Statistic Agency of Indonesia. Taking 30,665 observations, we apply the Ordered Logit Estimation technique (including G2-likelihood ratio test, Wald statistical test, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test) to analyze the determinants of happiness. We found that Easterlin Paradox does not exist in urban area Income, education, health, marrying, internal-external relationship, a satisfying job, positive feeling, and a meaningful life have a positive impact on happiness. Generally, these findings support some previous studies' findings.

Analysis of Economic Growth in ASEAN Countries
Authors: Anggraini Dina Eka , Riyanto Wahyu Hidayat , Suliswanto Muhammad Sri Wahyudi
Published: December 2020

This studied aims to explained the effect of the variables of inflation, consumption expenditure, capital formation, foreign direct investment, and trade openness on gross domestic product ASEAN countries from 1996 – 2018. This research used a panel regression analyzed method to test the data in getting decisions. The t-statistic test results showed that consumption expenditure, capital formation, foreign direct investment, and trade openness significantly influence the direction of a positive relationship to gross domestic product. However, inflation showed a negative direction and had a significant effect on the gross domestic product so that if there is increased inflation it will reduce gross domestic product. The government can formula a single-digit policy so that there is no decline in the gross domestic product of ASEAN countries.
The Municipality in the Face of Regional Planning: Inter-American Ideas in the 1950s
Authors: Faria Rodrigo de
Published: December 2020

This article examines the debate that took place in São Paulo during the 1st Inter-American Seminar on Municipal Studies, held in 1958, under the coordination of Antônio Delorenzo Neto. The main thrust of the analysis is focused on the discussion amongst the participants regarding the concepts of planning and planification in the session “The municipality in the face of regional planning”, after the presentation of the conference La organización del plan regulador de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y el planeamento del gran Buenos Aires. Similarly, the article also discusses, albeit indirectly and in more general terms, the trajectory, during the 1950s and 1960s, of Antônio Delorenzo Neto, creator of the abovementioned seminar, which occurred at the Instituto de Estudos Municipais da Escola Livre de Sociologia e Política in São Paulo. It was during this period that his original professional career in the field of law approached the field of planning in order to consider municipal development both in Brazil and across Latin America.
Paisagem desbotada nos (des)caminhos da vida: uma leitura de Paisagem com mulher e mar ao fundo, de Teolinda Gersão
Authors: Santos Silvana Maria Pantoja dos
Published: December 2020

A memória exerce papel fundamental na construção da subjetividade, conserva aquilo que, de alguma forma, ficou marcado na trajetória de vida. Consequentemente, os espaços nos quais o sujeito vivencia experiências transformam-se em espaços de memória, já que neles ficam registradas impressões e são capazes de absorver vivências acumuladas. Dessa forma, o trabalho em questão propõe analisar na obra Paisagem com mulher e mar ao fundo de Teolinda Gersão (1982), a relação que a protagonista estabelece com o espaço e a paisagem, e os sentidos que ganham nas suas recordações. A paisagem anunciada no título traduz o tom imagético e acústico que envolve a cena central da narrativa, numa relação simbiótica de presença/ausência. As lembranças da protagonista voltam-se para os espaços de referência, repletos de imagens cindidas, as quais reposicionam o espaço da casa e a paisagem da aldeia e do mar, realçados pelo desejo de realocação de cenas familiares.

Some new quantum Trapezoid and quantum Midpoint type inequalities for preinvex functions
Authors: Ali Muhammad Aamir , BUDAK Hüseyin
Published: December 2020

In this article, we derive Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for preinvex
functions using the quantum integrals and show their validation with
mathematical examples. We prove midpoint and trapezoidal inequalities
for q^{ϰ₂}-differentiable preinvex functions via
q^{ϰ₂}-quantum integrals. Moreover, we show with an example that
the already proved inequality of Hermite-Hadamard type for preinvex
functions via q_{ϰ₁}-quantum integrals is not valid for preinvex
functions and we give its correct version. We prove the midpoint
inequalities for q_{ϰ₁}-differentiable preinvex functions via
q_{ϰ₁}-quantum integrals. It is also shown that the newly proved
results transformed into some known results by considering the limit
q→1⁻ and η(ϰ₂,ϰ₁)=-η(ϰ₁,ϰ₂)=ϰ₂-ϰ₁ in the newly derived results.

Published: December 2020

The main object of the present paper is to consider the binomial
transforms for Horadam quaternion sequences. We gave new formulas for
recurrence relation, generating function, Binet formula and some basic
identities for the binomial sequence of Horadam quaternions. Working
with Horadam quaternions, we have found the most general formula that
includes all binomial transforms with recurrence relation from the
second order. In the last part, we determined the recurrence relation
for this new type of quaternion by working with the iterated binomial
transform, which is a dierent type of binomial transform.
Serum periostin levels are associated with asthma severity in children
Authors: Yavuz S. Tolga , Bagci Soyhan , Bolat Ahmet , akın onur , Ganschow Rainer
Published: December 2020

Background: Periostin has emerged as a novel biomarker in the
pathogenesis of T helper 2-type allergic diseases in the last years. The
aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum periostin
levels with clinical features in children with asthma. Methods: Children
with physician-diagnosed asthma who attended regularly to an outpatient
pediatric allergy and asthma center were enrolled in the study along
with control subjects. Asthma severity and control status of the
patients were evaluated according to recent GINA guidelines. Results: A
total of 158 children (125 with asthma and 33 age and sex-matched
control subjects) with a median age of 10.2 years (range 5.9-17.0) were
enrolled. Asthma severity was mild in 41 (32.8%), moderate in 63
(50.4%) and severe in 21 (16.8%) children. Children with asthma had
significantly higher periostin levels than controls (53.1 ± 13.1 vs 43.0
± 11.2 ng/mL; p < 0.001). The mean serum periostin levels of
children with severe asthma (63.8 ± 10.8) were significantly higher than
in children with moderate asthma (53.3 ± 12.7) and mild asthma (47.4 ±
11.1) (p < 0.001). Serum periostin levels were found to be
significantly correlated with asthma severity (Spearman’s rho
[r]=0.41, p < 0.001). Results of multivariable logistic
regression analysis demonstrated an association between serum periostin
levels and asthma severity in children (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.04-1.15; p
<0.001) Conclusion: Serum periostin levels may serve
clinicians in identifying children with severe asthma.

Published: December 2020

The 21st century requires teachers to be able to integrate 21st century skills into the teaching learning process. A study on analyzing teachers’ readiness in conducting the teaching learning process based on 21st century skills in Bali has not been conducted yet. Hence, this study aimed at analyzing the Elementary English teachers’ readiness in conducting teaching learning process based on 21st century skills. This study which was done at SDK Marsudirini Negara School in Jembrana Regency used sequential embedded mixed-method as the design. The subject were one of the school principals and the English teacher. The data were obtained through questionnaires, observations, document analysis, and interview then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The respondents perceived themselves as ready in conducting teaching learning process based on 21st century skills. However, the 21st century skills were not entirely inserted into the teaching learning process and the teachers are expected to be aware of the changes in the education field.

Authors: González Anaya Ana Gabriela
Published: December 2020

La elección de una carrera suele basarse en el interés existente por esta, pero en ocasiones la decisión es influenciada por otros factores, tales como la cercanía al campus, las posibilidades económicas del futuro universitario e incluso el horario disponible. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis de dos grupos de egresados de la misma licenciatura (carrera de Abogado), pero en dos modalidades distintas: la escolarizada y la semiescolarizada. Ambos grupos fueron consultados mediante una entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados fueron dispares en cuanto a la edad, los días que asistían a clases y la forma de sustentar sus estudios. En este trabajo se expone que la modalidad de estudio les llevó a tener experiencias opuestas, por ejemplo, en cuanto al apoyo que recibieron por parte del campus. En síntesis, en ambos grupos se analiza cómo el capital humano puede ser o no una influencia para obtener un mejor empleo y posicionamiento en el mundo laboral.

Authors:   Lviv Politechnic National University, Kuzmin O , Stanasiuk N ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Maiti S
Published: December 2020

Conflicts are considered to be the most unpredictable issues in organisations. It is mainly associated with the opposing of ideas and actions which results in causing a hostile state among the members that affects the performance of the organization. Hence, it is imperative for the organization to develop conflict management strategies for avoiding conflicts that can support in its growth. The aim of the following study is to evaluate the relationship between the conflict management strategies and economic growth of the organisation. The research design that is selected for the following study is triangulation method where the researcher attempts to explain the association between the conflicting management strategies and economic growth through interview, questionnaire survey and literature. As per the questionnaire survey, 85professionals has completely provided with the data. In this manner, the correlation technique is performed in which it was identified that the conflict management and economic growth has significant and positiveassociation. Moreover, the types of strategies that are associated with the economic growth comprises of accommodation, collective bargaining, compromising and confrontation whereas avoidance is found to have insignificant association with economic growth.Moreover, the factors responsible for the conflicts are poor communication and information gap. The adverse effect of not resolving conflict is that it leads to demotivation of employees and lower productivity.

Information for the management of economic entities is formed in accounting and does not lose its value in time for research and development of practical recommendations for the future. The Accounting Book of the Lviv Mint of 1656–1657, partially developed by historians, is a unique source of research and analytical experience in the management of public sector economic entities in emergencies, such as the war between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden (1655-1660). Unlike the books of merchants and artisans, keeping the Accounting Book at the Lviv Mint was mandatory, which testifies to the responsibility of its executors, and thus argues the authenticity of the reflected facts. The application of the rotary-historical method of studying the data of the Account Book in comparison with other historical and economic sources allows not only to reconstruct the events surrounding the opening of the Lviv Mint, but also to restore the sequence and targeting of management decisions to establish coin production in Lviv. The value source advantage of the Accounting Book is the use of in-kind, labor and cost measures, which allows to determine with sufficient accuracy all types of costs associated with the operation of the Lviv Mint and coinage. The participation of the king and the most influential elite of the Commonwealth at that time influenced the attraction of church property and private loans in the financing of the Lviv Mint in such an emergency situation as the war. The organization of cost accounting in the Accounting Book is built in chronological form, but characteristic of individual production processes, which is inherent in the minting of coins, which led to the use of cost accounting by places (centers) of their occurrence. Based on the data of the Accounting Book, the issues of payroll accounting, their types and composition of employees of the Lviv Mint were studied. Accounting and analytical data allow to determine the nature of management and logistics decisions for the production process and methods of external settlement operations at the Lviv Mint in emergency situations. Organizational and methodological bases of management decisions and their experience of accounting and analytical support of the Lviv Mint in the conditions of war have the prospect of use in modern emergencies, and in particular pandemics. This will mobilize management capacity and resources to reduce the risk of human losses from the spread of COVID-19 virus worldwide.

Published: December 2020

The presented paper is methodical in character. Marketing methodology is an important matter looking from the prism of identifying its scientific status. There are differing views on the scientific status of marketing, nevertheless marketing, from the perspective of scientific cognition, has developed dynamically throughout its entire history. The main objective of this article is to present the methodological dilemmas of marketing in the context of social and economic sciences.The foundations of the methodology of research on marketing cannot be separated from the methodology of social sciences. Marketing belongs to social sciences, so it is based on similar assumptions with regard to the character of reality and scientific cognition. Marketing is engaged in exploring human behaviour and, similarly to other social sciences, makes use of such research methods and techniques. It is difficult to conduct research in the area of marketing without referring to the methodology of social sciences.The article presents the foundations of marketing research methodology, assumptions of the analysis of methodology of research on marketing in comparison to methodology of social and economic research and final remarks.

Pulp and paper enterprises are of great importance for sustainable economic and environmental development of certain regions and the economy of Ukraine. Man uses many natural resources during the lifetime, creating a burden on nature. As the world's population increases, this load increases, leading to a shortage of resources and deterioration in the environment. The main activity of Kokhavynska Paper Mill PJSC is the production of sanitary products for the domestic market and export. Rational use of secondary raw materials helps to cut the use of forest resources and reduce the amount of waste paper utilized in landfills. 15291.76 t of pollutants from the sources of the enterprise emissions enter the air each year. A total of 9 standardized and 3 non-standardized substances (greenhouse gases) are released into the atmosphere, namely nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, nitrogen (1) oxide (N 2 O) (greenhouse gas), carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas), methane (greenhouse gas), iron and its compounds, manganese and its compounds, hexavalent chromium (expressed in terms of chromium trioxide), gaseous fluorides, hydrogen sulfide, saturated hydrocarbons C12- C19. There is no excess of the established maximum concentration limits at all emission sources at this enterprise. To assess the impact of the enterprise on soils, the content of heavy metals Zn, Cr (VI), Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, and Fe at the border of the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise was determined and the maximum multi plicity of the excess of MPC of heavy metals was calculated. The content of heavy metals in the selected soil samples was determined using a spectrophotometer atomic absorption C-115-M1. Evaluation of soils for heavy metals showed that the soils at the border of the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise are contaminated with heavy metals. The maximum multiplicity of the excess of the MPC of heavy metals in the soil is 1.04 times for lead; 0.43 times for zinc; 0.37 times for chromium; 0.93 times for copper; 1.85 times for manganese; 0.35 times for cobalt. Maximum concentrations of heavy metals exceed their background content: 1.6 times for lead; 1.8 times for zinc; 1.16 times for chromium; 0.77 times for copper; 3.9 times for manganese; 9.7 times for iron; 1.2 times for cobalt.

Waste (tailings) of mining and processing plants of Kryvbas were studied by the stages of their magnetic enrichment. The granulometric compositions of the tailings, the amount of iron (total and magnetic) and the mass fraction of solid in them are determined. The expediency of disposing of ferruginous quartzite waste at the first stage of enrichment as a silica component in cellular concretes is proved. Optimal compositions of aerated concrete mixtures are determined based on the following criteria: the average density of cellular concrete in the dry state and its compressive strength.

Published: December 2020

It very well may be said that American Literature may have started in 1493 when Columbus composed his acclaimed letters to King Ferdinand of Spain. Different travellers and explorers, who followed, composed letters to their companions and family members at home. These 'letters home' mark the start of the put down account of the threats they needed to confront, yet in addition to the marvels that should have been seen all over. The interest was energized at home in light of these letters. The letters gave reasonable and striking records. An ever increasing number of individuals were enticed to cruise for the New World to settle there. Such courageous spirits came not from England alone, yet these spirits originated from most different nations of Europe-Spain, Portugal, France, Holland, and numerous others. Along these lines, there established the framework of the 'solidarity in decent variety' which is such a noticeable element of American culture.
