The genus Llorenteana, gen. nov., is diagnosed and described to allocate the enigmatic, relictual, satyrine butterfly, Euptychia pellonia Godman, 1901. The taxonomy of this species had been superficial, variable and unstable for more than a century. The new genus is monobasic and endemic to the montane pine-oak forests of the Northern Mexican Altiplano. Its morphology suggests it should be placed within the Ypthimina Miller, 1968, a subtribe notably diverse in other continents, mainly Africa and Asia, but so far unreported in the American continent.

Authors: Lal Rodrick , Reaume Geoffrey , El Morr Christo , Khanlou Nazilla
Published: August 2021

This research study explored the mental health seeking behaviour of racialized and non-racialized female students at a large size public university located in Ontario, Canada. A sample consisting of 570 students participated in the cross-sectional survey.  The majority (n = 413, 84.1%) were identified as Canadian racialized female students. The remainder (n = 78, 15.9%) were Canadian non-racialized female students, identifying with dominant Canadian culture. We contended that intersectionality, an emergent theoretical and methodological public health framework, provides a powerful tool for understanding these complex interlocking experiences in the context of mental health. High levels of depression and anxiety symptoms were reported by both the racialized non-racialized female students. The proportion of students with CES-D scores > 16 (indicating that may suffer from depression) was higher among the female racialized students (n = 265, 64.2%) than the non-racialized female students (n = 39, 50.0%). Approximately, half of the racialized students (n = 202, 48.9%) had BAS scores > 10 indicating that they may suffer from anxiety. About half (n = 38, 48.7%) of the non-racialized students also had BAS scores > 10 indicating that they may suffer from anxiety. The findings of this research study advocate university governance, healthcare professionals, and counsellors need to improve their services to address the specific needs and concerns of racialized students. Future research should focus on how findings can be translated into practice by designing culturally adaptive treatment modalities, that focus on resolving mental health problems in racialized and non-racialized female students especially in times of crisis similar to the Corvid-19 pandemic.

The relevance of searching for new varieties of tourist offers is due to a number of reasons. First, high competition in the market, which encourages entrepreneurs to invent new forms of ensuring the need for rest for their customers; secondly, the growth of consumer whimsy towards the orientation, content and variants of activities that are available during the rest. Both of these reasons, against the background of the growing ecological thinking in society, caused the emergence and rapid development of glamping. The article is aimed at researching the glamping as a new concept of tourist travel and hotel business, analyzing its development in the world and in Ukraine. As a result of the analysis, the article formulated a triune structure of the glamping recreation conception, which consists of the following elements: maximum comfort, natural surroundings (placement of glamps), and minimal impact on the natural environment. Thanks to this, it is possible to classify glamping as one of the varieties of ecological tourism. The main variants of glam designs are provided, in particular: safari tent, tipi, yurt, pop-tent/sphere/capsule/bubble, caravan, houses on wheels, house on a rock. Four categories of consumers of glamping products are also distinguished; the dependence between the target audience, the location of glamping and the formation of its specialization is specified. A brief analysis of the world experience in glamping tourism development and experience along with the geography of glamping in Ukraine are presented. As a result, the following conclusions have been drawn: active glamping exists in different landscape zones of the country; for the most part, glamps have a high level of comfort (they provide all the amenities); the cost of accommodation per night starts from 2500 UAH for double occupancy and reaches 4500 UAH; there are three companies – glamps producers in our country. The article also presents an economic substantiation and a generalization of advantages of glamping as a hotel business, which definitely testify to perspectivity of its development and further possibilities for scientific research.

The task is to determine the essence of tourist animation as an object of research and highlight its main types and functions. As part of the research, the following methods were used: analytical, historical, description and others. Today, the tourism industry is developing rapidly, despite a number of problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, both in the territory of Ukraine and abroad. Tourism remains an important industry, influencing the economy of countries. Therefore, for the further development of this sector, it is important to pay attention to improving the quality of services to maximize the satisfaction of the needs of tourists, especially during their leisure time. The quality factor of the level of tourist product provided under modern conditions is key for the functioning of the tourism sector. Now an important and integral part of the tourism business around the world is tourism animation. During leisure, tourists seek to satisfy a number of their own needs, namely: spiritual, physical, communication, self-realization, etc. In addition, they have the opportunity to analyze their own inner being or characterize the people who will be around at this time. The purpose of the leisure industry is to create all the necessary (safe) conditions for entertainment. The social component of animation activity is the creation and development of modern needs in tourists. In addition, an animation tourism program is directed towards forming and obtaining new useful skills for its participants. To maximize satisfaction of the requirements of vacationers, regardless of their nationality, age, economic prosperity, health status, animation programs must change in terms of content, time or activity during the tourist season. Usually, they depend on the size of the hotel, its geographical location, focus, specifics, etc. It is noted that today the domestic tourist market needs animation specialists. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the level of their training, personal skills that will contribute to the implementation of modern animation programs.
The Pension System in Ukraine – Some Aspects of Reforming
Authors:   Kherson State University, Furdak M. M.
Published: August 2021

This publication is aimed at studying the processes and defining the main problems in reforming the pension system of Ukraine. The article analyzes the state of functioning and development of three levels of pension provision at the present stage of socio-economic development of the country. It is determined that only level 1 actually works in Ukraine – the solidarity system of compulsory State-controlled pension insurance, while the mandatory accumulation system has not acquired its development, and the voluntary accumulation system has an extremely low share in the general pension system. Some financial results of the Pension Fund of Ukraine for 2020 and the approved budget for 2021 are analyzed. Substantiated conclusions have been drawn about the problems of the solidarity system, such as: the existing budget deficit of the Fund, which leads to the formation of its debts; low, socially unadapted level of pensions; disparities in the size of pensions assigned in different years. The rating of currently operating non-State pension funds of Ukraine (the third level of pension provision) are analyzed according to the criteria of asset value, number of participants, amounts of pension payments and profitability, as well as the dynamics of some basic indicators of their activity. It is determined that the functioning of the non-State pension system in the country is hampered, in particular, for psychological reasons due to the population’s distrust of non-State institutions. Since the second level of pension provision – the mandatory accumulation system – has not yet started working in the country and taking into account the problems of the first and third levels, a reasonable conclusion has been made on the inhibition of the pension reform in Ukraine and the need to intensify the work on the implementation of all three levels of pension provision in order to achieve a sufficient level of social protection of citizens.

Published: August 2021

The article analyzes and evaluates the current state, problems and prospects for the development of the non-State pension funds in Ukraine. The issue of introduction of the pension system reform is considered, since pension provision is an important component of the socio-economic strategy of the country. The pension provision should function according to the principles of social justice and insurance principles, namely: all citizens of Ukraine are entitled to pensions, including the condition that those citizens who pay a larger amount of contributions or have more work experience than others have full right to and should receive a higher pension. The main purpose of the third level system is receiving additional pension payments to the mandatory State pension insurance by its participants, the advantage of which is to ensure a high level of return on pension assets compared to the level of inflation and attract investment resources necessary for the modernization of the domestic economy on a long-term basis. Currently, only the first and third levels of the pension system are operating in Ukraine. However, the third level of the domestic pension system still does not work with proper efficiency. The authors identify the problems of introduction of the accumulation system of pension provision in Ukraine (level 2) and the reasons for the inefficiency of the current system of the non-State pension provision (level 3). In order to develop a reliable and efficient system of the non-State pension provision, it is proposed to implement a number of measures that will contribute to economic growth and the effective functioning of the non-State pension funds in our country.

In today’s world, the international community provides significant support in carrying out socio-economic and political reforms to countries that need it. Such support is provided in the form of official aid for the purposes of development, which includes international technical and humanitarian assistance, loans for repayment of foreign debt on preferential terms, financing of project activities. The article analyzes the state of Ukraine’s cooperation with international financial organizations in providing financial and technical assistance for the implementation of projects that are of great importance for structural reforms of the domestic economy. The national economy of Ukraine has been experiencing a lasting shortage of financial resources necessary for innovation and investment development projects, also for current needs of the State. Given the difficulties of mobilizing free cash in the domestic capital market, Ukraine attracts resources in foreign markets. Expanding partnerships with international donor organizations allows not only to find additional sources of funding for projects aimed at socio-economic and humanitarian development, but also to provide real help to those in need. The implementation of joint projects and programs involving communities and local authorities in practice makes it possible to gain useful and important experience based on the best world and European practices. It is examined that in the national economy the urgent problem is the search for new types of interaction between communities to solve socially important issues, including the search for unconventional sources of financing. To a large extent, the search for and involvement of funds in the social sphere is facilitated by innovative technologies for financing social development – fundraising, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platforms, which are manifestations of social communications and become relevant in the context of decentralization and community development.

The article attempts to present a number of key technologies that determine the new quality of life of people. The following content is specified and disclosed: autonomous artificial intelligence in a smartphone, professional robot assistants, available satellite intelligence, podcasts, digital urban planning tools. In the article, the authors hypothesize that Industry X.0 is by far the highest stage of digitalization and represents a concept of innovative and digital production, the components of which are «smart assets», «smart services», «smart business», and «smart government». Structural elements of the authors’ concept of X.0 Industry are indicated, its visual cut in virtual reality conditions is provided and the functioning of this Industry exclusively within the framework of the 7th technological mode is characterized. The authors have developed and presented the protocol of formation of the X.0 Industry through the prism of innovations, technologies in both the industry sector and business management. 4 stages of implementation of this protocol are defined, namely: determination of the innovative landscape of «technological breakthrough» in a particular industry within the formation of industry X.0; assessment of threats; determining the course of further development and the action plan (four main approaches to which organizations can apply: protection, adoption of innovations, initiation of subversive innovations, retreat); implementation of structural changes at the DNA level of the organization. The authors on the basis of a number of factors bring forward the argument that today’s realities of the digital space require the development of a new logic of running a platform business in terms of its digitization. It is concluded that in practice it is necessary to form a broad coalition of educators, government officials, analysts, high-tech specialists, economists, industrialists, scientists who will join the formation of the X.0 Industry on the basis of digitalization and innovatizing. The authors concluded that Industry X.0 is a new approach to the organization of production in the context of virtual reality, which is based on highly intelligent integrated new products and digital ecosystems that form an innovative digital value chain, add new competencies and implement deep cultural changes in the direction of the formation of a new virtual reality.
