Authors: Perini Maxime , Terray Laurent , Cariolle Daniel , Moine Marie-Pierre , Bégassière Baptiste Dubouays De La
Published: December 2024

The impact of aviation on climate change due to CO2 emissions is well
established and is associated with much less uncertainty than the non
CO2 effects. Among the non CO2 effects contrails formation and their
evolution into cirrus-type clouds remain a subject of considerable
uncertainty. A frequently overlooked source of uncertainty arises from
the sensitivity of climate models to adjustable parameters used to
represent the effect of subgrid-scale processes. The limited number of
state-of-the-art climate models with an explicit contrail representation
makes it challenging to evaluate model sensitivity of contrail radiative
forcing to parameters and backgroud atmospheric conditions. To better
characterize the contrail radiative forcing and its evolution it is
therefore necessary to develop their representation within a large range
of existing climate models. Here we develop and evaluate a new
parameterization of contrail cirrus for the ARPEGE-Climat atmospheric
model. The representation of the ice-supersaturated regions, where
contrails persist, agrees well with in-situ and satellite observations,
as well as the simulated contrail microphysical properties. With this
parameterization, and using the ERA5 reanalysis to nudge the
ARPEGE-Climat model, we estimate that for the air traffic of the year
2019 the global mean annual contrail coverage is 1.27%. In addition,
the global mean annual instantaneous radiative forcing is estimated to
be 66.2 mW/m2, although this result is sensitive to the choice of some
key parameters of the contrail-cirrus parameterization. These findings
are consistent with similar published results obtained using the same
flight inventory but based on different methods of representing contrail
effects.
Early Origins of Functional Jaw Orthopaedics
Authors: MJ* Trenouth
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the research was to highlight early orthodontic appliances described in the literature and illustrate how
they evolved over time to produce the functional orthopaedic appliances currently in use. Functional appliances derive their
motive force from the masticatory muscles rather than active components such as screws and springs. The main findings
showed that there were two essential components Firs upper arch expansion and alignment, Second anteroposterior skeletal
correction. The article also demonstrates how extraction and alignment treatment diverged from non-extraction functional
jaw orthopaedics. This subject has not previously been dealt with from this point of view.
Mujeres científicas en la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas: retos y dificultades en el ingreso y permanencia al SNII
Authors: Cervantes Hernández Rubén , Gallegos Flores Perla Ivonne , Gutiérrez Espinoza Adso Eduardo
Published: December 2024

El Sistema Nacional de Investigadoras e Investigadores (SNII) reconoce e incentiva a investigadores, con el fin de estimular el desarrollo científico en México. Sin embargo, aún persiste una disparidad de género, en el que las mujeres son minoría, a pesar de que en los últimos años ha habido una mayor inclusión de mujeres en las diversas áreas de la ciencia. Nuestro estudio revisa la literatura que aborda esta disparidad para comprender por qué las mujeres aún son minorías en la labor científica en la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas. Encontramos que hay diversos factores culturales y sociales, tales como precariedades o posibles beneficios en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) que motivan su ingreso al SNII y el estímulo económico y el reconocimiento social de pertenecer al SNII. Además, se encontró que la pertenencia a dicho sistema provocó en algunos casos padecimientos mentales (crisis, ansiedad, angustia y estrés, entre otros). Para superar los problemas en las IES y las afectaciones causadas al pertenecer al SNII, científicos e investigadores han buscado y aplicado diversas estrategias, entre las que destacan el apoyo psicológico profesional, conversar con allegados, apegarse a la fe, buscar atención médica, organizar tiempos y ejercicio físico. En el caso de las investigadoras, se encontró que están afectadas por límites socialmente disimulados (el hogar, la crianza y ser madres).

Authors: Rovida Khofidhotur , Sasmini Sasmini
Published: December 2024

The advancement of information and communication technology brings great benefits to society, such as ease of communication and access to public services. However, technology also threatens human rights, including privacy and freedom of expression. This study aims to analyze the legal strategies of other countries to protect digital human rights that can be applied in Indonesia, as well as formulate policies to improve this protection through legal transplantation and support sustainable development goals. The method is normative legal research, with data from related laws and policies. The results of this study indicate that the adoption of rules is a potential strategy to improve the security of digital human rights in Indonesia and provide greater control over the personal data of individuals. The implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Indonesia is considered important to align personal data protection with international standards, improve the country's reputation, and facilitate international cooperation. With clear regulations, public trust in digital services will increase, because people feel safer and more protected from misuse of personal data. This stricter legal framework helps create a safer and more inclusive digital environment so that all levels of society can actively participate in the digital economy.

Authors: Thoha Ahmad Faiz Khudlari , Al Hasir Muhammad , Ibrahim Muh Syahril Sidik
Published: December 2024

Volunteerism plays a crucial role in enhancing youth participation in community service, but the roles of social influence and religiosity in shaping Generation Z's volunteer intentions remain underexplored. This study examines the impact of social influence and religiosity on Generation Z's volunteer intentions at Masjid Al Akbar, Surabaya. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and data from 104 respondents, the results show that social influence significantly affects volunteer intentions, with religiosity acting as a key mediator. The significant mediation effect reinforces how religious values amplify the influence of social networks. This research contributes to the development of social behavior and volunteerism theories, especially in religious contexts. The findings offer practical strategies for both religious and secular organizations to mobilize Generation Z, emphasizing the critical role of social and cultural factors in shaping volunteer behavior.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to find out the form of the Baronggeng tradition in Walimatul Urs and how the da'i's preaching communication strategy is in resolving the problem of the meaning of the Baronggeng Tradition in Walimatul Urs. This research uses qualitative methods, descriptive analysis techniques, and ethnographic approaches. Descriptive analysis techniques provide a detailed description of a phenomenon that occurs. This research data was obtained from the observation and interview and analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and conclusions. This research shows that the Baronggeng tradition in Walimatul Urs in Sidangoli Gam Village, North Maluku, has mixed with the outside. The traditional form of tradition, originally packaged traditionally after cultural mixing, has changed to become more modern but tends to invite negative things and is contrary to Islamic teachings. Meanwhile, the da'wah communication strategy implemented in the context of training is carried out through the role of tackle councils, education in schools, and interpersonal da'wah among traditional practitioners.
An Exploratory Study of Low-Income Minority Students Online Learning Experience
Authors: Gyekye Eugene Kwasi , Learned Julie
Published: December 2024

This study draws on the theory of Cumulative Disadvantage and Advantage (CDA) (Merton,1968; Dannefer, 2003; Northrop, 2017) to explore the online learning experiences of Low-income minority students in middle school.  I examine inequitable access to technology and the underdevelopment of technological skills by minority students. The study sought to answer How intermediate school students from low-income minority communities describe their online learning experiences? In a qualitative school-year-long survey, I interviewed two middle school students across classes in an urban middle school and interviewed two teachers who teach these students. Using 300 hours of observations, analysis of interview data showed that minoritized students experience comfort and discomfort when learning online. Comforting teacher behaviors mitigate these learner discomforts. By documenting online learning experiences of Low-income minority students, findings have implications for educational equity and promoting socially just teaching.
Exploring the Relationships of Learners and Instructors in Online Courses

Published: December 2024

In higher education, motivational factors are considered one of “the strongest predictors of academic performance” (Honike et al., 2020, p. 1). A meta-analysis of face-to-face (f2f) courses (Richardson et al., 2012) supports these claims, finding a strong correlation between performance self-efficacy and academic performance (r = 0.59), as well as accounting for 14% of the variation in academic performance using locus of control, performance self-efficacy, and grade goal as predictors. These f2f results are compelling enough that self-efficacy is often used synonymously with online learning in primary research. However, the results of prior f2f meta-analytic reviews have yet to be extended to online and blended learning contexts. We explored student motivation, specifically subscales for attributional style, self-efficacy, achievement goal orientation, self-determination and task value in relation to student academic performance. Informed by 94 outcomes from 52 studies, our results diverge from f2f findings. The highest correlation was mastery avoidance goals (r = 0.22) and academic self-efficacy (r = 0.19) was substantially lower than f2f findings (r = 0.31; r = 0.59) in Richardson et al., (2012). Using a parsimonious model (i.e., delivery mode, learning self-efficacy, and mastery approach goals), students’ average academic performance failed to identify significantly significant predictors.  These results call into question the assumption that student motivation is a strong predictor of academic performance in online and blended courses. The lack of strong relationships and the lack of predictive power hold clear implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers that assume these relationships are stronger.

Old mosques have a typology that reflects the traditions and culture of the community which has local wisdom values. Indonesia has a tropical climate that influences aspects of life, one of which is the shape of buildings that adapt to natural conditions. The Old Mosque Gunong Kleng is a historic and oldest mosque in West Aceh Regency, Indonesia, which was built in 1927. This research aims to identify the effect of openings on thermal comfort and evaluate the thermal comfort felt by visitors to the Tuha Gunong Kleng Mosque. This research uses quantitative methods by collecting data from questionnaires using the Thermal Sensation Vote (TSV) method as well as field measurements consisting of air temperature, humidity, and air velocity. The measuring instruments used were the USB Data Logger, Anemometer, and Weather Station. The results of this research were then compared with the effective temperature of SNI 036572-2001. The results of field measurements of air temperature variables do not comply with comfort standards, in contrast to wind speed and humidity. However, this is inversely proportional to the perception of respondents who can accept the thermal environment.

The establishment of an education hub represents an effective initiative aimed at expanding access to higher education for both local and international students. Besides education, it positively affects nearby rural communities in various ways like education, income, livelihood, and jobs. But for these benefits to happen, it is crucial to consider the broader context and the needs of the community when planning and developing an education hub. Sometimes, if the focus remains only on internal planning without considering the community's socio-economic dynamics, the positive impact might be limited. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the impact of education hub on the socioeconomic transformation of rural communities. To understand the full impact of an education hub on rural communities, a survey was conducted at the Pagoh Education Hub (PEH) in Johor, Malaysia. The study sample comprised 61 respondents from three villages situated within the education hub area. Quantitative data analysis was employed to identify key factors affecting the socio-economic landscape, including livelihood, education, employment, and income. The findings show the development of the Pagoh Education Hub created more job opportunities, better access to education, improved infrastructure, and a cleaner environment as well as high safety level despite having more non-local people, like foreign workers and students coming to the area. These findings help assess how the Pagoh Education Hub has transformed the livelihoods of the nearby communities.

Building defects are always a key concern in the construction industry. Defects represent not only a loss to the project but also hamper the smooth operation of a building. Recognising the need to resolve these continuing problems, research was mooted to track the study of defects that occurred during the Defects Liability Period for residential projects in Malaysia. This paper presents part of the research that investigates what can be learned from the analysis of architectural defects in this project. Two research objectives were developed: (1) to investigate types of architectural defects that occurred, (2) to analyse the causes of the defects, and (3) to categorise the causes of the defects. A mixed methods approach is adopted. Data for the quantitative element of the research was drawn from the project's defect records. They were sorted, grouped and transferred into the SPSS software for analysis using frequency analysis. The findings suggest defects can be effectively traced and categorised with a proper methodology in place. This can provide useful insights into their root cause and how it can be avoided in future projects.

Зростаюча популярність футболу засвідчена підтримана даними стосовно постійного збільшення кількості спортсменів упродовж 2003–2023 років. Проте близько 70% припиняють заняття футболом під впливом різноманітних чинників. Окрім того випускники футбольних дитячо-юнацьких спортивних шкіл потребують від трьох до п’яти років для становлення спортивної майстерності. Мета дослідження: провести узагальнення наукового обґрунтування компонентів підготовки кваліфікованих футболістів різних вікових груп. Методи дослідження: теоретичний аналіз та узагальнення даних наукової та методичної літератури, абстрагування, історичний метод, порівняння. Для дослідження взято актуальну науково-методичну інформацію з проблематики змістового наповнення системи підготовки кваліфікованих юних футболістів в період перебування в дитячо-юнацьких спортивних школах. Традиційно футбол вважається одним з найбільш популярних серед хлопчаків видів спорту. З роками ця теза лише підтверджується появою все більшої кількості змагань, спортивних клубів. Зі зменшенням віку спортсменів, ми спостерігаємо зниження кількості наукових досліджень та зацікавленість фахівців питаннями системи підготовки юних футболістів. Тому змістову складову науково-методичних досліджень, пов’язаних з підготовкою юних футболістів на етапі початкової підготовки ми виокремили в окремий блок інформації. Наукове обґрунтування компонентів підготовки кваліфікованих футболістів різних вікових груп нині здійснено за кількома напрямками. Серед них домінують системні основи спортивного відбору, теоретичні та методичні засади удосконалення управління підготовкою футболістів, концептуальні основи техніко-тактичної підготовки юних футболістів та найбільший пласт представлено у напрямку теоретико-методичного обґрунтування фізичної та функціональної підготовки спортсменів. Для досягнення довгострокової мети системи підготовки та повноцінного розкриття індивідуальних можливостей футболістів уже на перших етапах багаторічної підготовки необхідно проводити ґрунтовні дослідження.

Authors: Sri Ulina Evita , Ginting Chrismis Novalinda , Siregar Santy Deasy
Published: December 2024

In the National Health Insurance (JKN) era, hospitals in Indonesia rapidly grew in number and also developed.  In order to stand out amongst the competition, hospitals often rely on marketing strategies through attractive advertisements, offering unique services, and also introducing their services to the public. One method often utilized in the 5P marketing mix consists of product, price, place, promotion, and people. This study aims to identify the impact of 5P marketing mix strategies on the patients’ interest in visiting Bandung Hospital in the city of Medan. Bandung Hospital in Medan conducted this quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 150 patients of Bandung Hospital’s inpatient unit, which is the whole outpatient clinic patient (total sampling) during the May 2023 period. Analysis was carried out using frequency distribution, chi-square, and binomial logistic regression analysis. This study found that the majority of patients visiting Bandung Hospital belong to the 30-39 years age group (62.0%), are female (58.7%), hold a bachelor's degree (48.0%), and are visiting Bandung Hospital for the first time (62.7%). Most of the patients in this study have a good perception toward all aspects of 5P marketing strategies in Bandung Hospital and are interested in visiting the hospital again in the future (p<0.05), with place playing the biggest role in influencing patients’ interest (OR = 4.082). According to all findings in this study, it can be concluded that marketing strategies such as the 5P marketing mix strategy positively influence patients’ interest in visiting Bandung Hospital. It can also be inferred that this strategy would work in similar types of hospitals, not only in Bandung Hospital. Keywords: Marketing mix, Hospital, Product-Price-Place-Promotion-People (5P), Patients

Published: December 2024

La necesidad de un sistema agropecuario más sustentable es hoy una realidad en la región del Cinturón Hortícola Platense (CHP). La incorporación del cultivo de amaranto es una posibilidad. A pesar de sus aptitudes aún no se ha expandido y/o establecido en este territorio. Los agricultores son reflexivos y sujetos de cambio, pero situados y condicionados por la estructura, el espacio y el tiempo. Para decidir incorporar un cultivo nuevo se ponen en juego factores externos e internos que toman un papel importante habilitando o condicionando la apropiación de la tecnología. En esta investigación se identificaron preliminarmente factores internos y externos limitantes a la apropiación de este cultivo en agricultores familiares del CHP; se llevó a cabo, luego, un análisis cualitativo con la intención de comprender dichas limitaciones. Las resistencias inconscientes de los productores serían uno de los factores limitantes que interactúan con el supuesto desconocimiento del amaranto a nivel social.

predicative features of mono-subjective ones.
The dynamics of disposition: introducing a new scale for evaluating middle school attitudes towards blended learning
Authors: Polat Merve , Yalçın Türkyılmaz Benay
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to develop and validate a reliable measurement tool that assesses middle-school students' attitudes towards blended learning methods. The research process began with a comprehensive literature review, resulting in a preliminary 42-item draft scale. This scale was administered to 259 seventh-grade students attending a public school in Izmir, Türkiye. The content validity of the scale was rigorously evaluated through expert opinions, ensuring its relevance and appropriateness. To establish the construct validity, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. The analyses refined the scale to 36 items distributed across a two-factor structure, with the first and second factors comprising 22 positive and 14 negative items, respectively. These factors together accounted for 57.035% of the total variance, indicating a significant representation of the construct. The scale demonstrated excellent statistical robustness, evidenced by a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of .943 and a significant Bartlett's test of sphericity. Furthermore, the scale's reliability was confirmed through a Cronbach's alpha of .847, underscoring its consistency and stability as a measurement tool. The results affirm that the developed scale is both valid and reliable for measuring middle school students' attitudes towards blended learning, providing valuable insights for educational strategies and technological integration. This scale equips educators and policymakers with a powerful tool to tailor educational approaches that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes in blended learning environments
Mangrove degradation and fish pond expansion analysis in North Kalimantan, Indonesia, using automatic maps of mangroves and shorelines indices
Authors: Suyarso  , Avianto Praditya
Published: December 2024

The east coast of North Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, from the northern border with Sabah, Malaysia, to the south, consists of a series of estuarine landscapes in the north and a delta in the south. Landsat imagery acquired in 1995 shows that there are 150,869 ha of pristine mangrove forest and 14,456 ha of ponds. The mangrove mapping uses the automatic mangrove map and index (AMMI). For ponds mapping, we have introduced the automatic shoreline map (ASM) index, automatic mapping of water body including the shoreline, ponds and rivers. Landsat image from 2000 shows that the mangrove area has decreased to 100,016 ha, while the pond area increased to 27,903 ha. Landsat image from 2010 shows that the mangrove area was 106,867 ha, while the pond area increased to 74,270.2 ha. Landsat imagery from 2022 shows that the remaining mangrove area was 108,187 ha, while the pond area increased further to 84,182 ha. Mangrove decline was extreme from 1995 to 2000, coinciding with Indonesia’s currency crisis. Currency devaluation encouraged local communities and entrepreneurs to create export commodities, with shrimp exports being one of the most promising. To maintain the presence of mangroves, the government implemented a silvo-fishery policy, while farming, it was also restoring mangroves. This paper introduces the fusion of two indices that automatically map mangrove environments to inform multi-temporal changes of mangroves, ponds, and shorelines based on Landsat imagery more accurately, faster, and with lower cost and labour.
Assessment of the effectiveness of overseeding methods for hardwood meadows under various pluviothermal conditions
Authors: Barszczewski Jerzy , Horaczek Tomasz
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of improving the state of hardwood meadows using two methods of overseeding: strip-till and disc seeding (Vredo), with mixtures of grass and legume seeds under diverse pluvial and thermal conditions in eastern and central Poland. The field experiments were conducted in three farms: Zimna Woda (experiment I), Racibory (experiment II), and Ranna (experiment III). The measures to improve permanent grassland (PG) were carried out after the second cut in 2016 and in spring 2017. The effectiveness of both methods was evaluated based on changes in the botanical composition of the sward and the yield of total protein and soluble sugars (Preś and Rogalski, 1997). Positive effects of both methods on the floristic composition were achieved in 2017 in all meadow habitats on mineral soils: brown soils formed from loamy sand (Zimna Woda), proper brown soils (Racibory) on light and medium loam, and alluvial soils on light loam (Ranna). Despite adverse pluvial and thermal conditions, both methods improved the utility value of the sward, increasing the yields of dry matter, protein, and soluble sugars in subsequent years. The study showed that improving the state of PG by overseeding with diploid and tetraploid grass varieties and legume plants is effective, with its level of effectiveness depending on the pluvial and thermal conditions after treatment.

Authors: Wróbel Barbara , Stopa Wojciech , Jakubowska Zuzanna , Gryszkiewicz-Zalega Dorota
Published: December 2024

The nutritional value of green forage is a result of various pratotechnical practices, including fertilisation and harvest timing. Additionally, individual plant species present in natural grasslands may respond differently to those practices. The study aimed to investigate the effect of fertilisation type (farm yard manure (FYM) and NPK fertilisation) and the timing of the first regrowth harvest of meadow sward (ten harvest dates) on the lignin and structural carbohydrates of three dicotyledonous meadow plants: Taraxacum officinale F.H. Wigg., Achillea millefolium L. and Lotus corniculatus L. Plant material was harvested from 28 Apr until 26 Jun at 7-day intervals and analysed for cellulose (CL), hemicellulose (HCL), and acid detergent lignin (ADL). The levels of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and ADL were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with a NIRFlex N-500 device. Cellulose was calculated as the difference between ADF and ADL, while HCL was calculated by subtracting ADF from NDF. T. officinale had the lowest HCL (average 65.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and ADL content (47.1 g∙kg−1 DM) while A. millefolium had the highest CL content (266.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and ADL (52.3 g∙kg−1 DM). In contrast, L. corniculatus accumulated the highest HCL (104.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and the lowest CL content (246.1 g∙kg−1 DM). An increase in all studied parameters content was observed with later harvest dates. On average, plants fertilised with FYM contained lower amounts of structural carbohydrates and ADL compared to those fertilised with NPK.

The purpose of this study is to extract and evaluate the components affecting the level of physical activity of residents of five different neighbourhoods in Urmia city in Iran and compare the impact pattern of these components in these five neighbourhoods with each other. Through literature studies and field surveys, 18 indicators were identified as architectural (physical) factors affecting the number of days that neighbourhood residents engage in physical activity during a month in a case study. Then, a researcher-made questionnaire was prepared and the data were analyzed in SPSS 26 software by the Poisson regression method. The results showed that, in different parts of a city, different factors affect the physical activity of residents. This is a challenge that warns urban planners that the same approach cannot be used for different neighbourhoods.
Proposing a concept of least-squares-based outlier-exposing potential of Gauss-Markov models: Examples in geodesy
Authors: Prószynski Witold , Parzynski Zenon
Published: December 2024

Outlier detection and identi_cation are still important issues in the quality control of geodetic networks based on least squares estimation (LSE). In addition to existing network reliability measures, the paper proposes the LSE-based concept (together with the associated measures) of the Outlier-Exposing Potential (OEP) for Gauss-Markov models. The greater the model’s redundancy, the more the con_guration of its responses to gross errors exposes the location of these errors, and hence, the greater the model’s OEP. The potential is given in the basic version and the extended version. The former considers only the e_ect of the model’s redundancy, while the latter also considers the masking e_ect due to random observation errors at a speci_ed magnitude of gross error. For models that have regions of unidenti_able errors, the corresponding OEP components have zero values. The re_ection of OEP in the values of Minimal Identi_able Bias (MIB) is shown. It is proposed that OEP derived based on least squares adjustment be treated as a property of the model itself. The theory is illustrated on several 1D and 2D networks. The research is limited to models with uncorrelated observations and the case of a single gross error. These limitations enabled the formulation of clear properties of general character, not complicated by observation correlations and multiple-outlier combinations.

Authors: SOKOLOV Andrei Yu. , YAKHINA Dar'ya A.
Published: December 2024

Subject. The article considers various types of reporting as sources of information on the research activities of higher education institutions in Russia to assess its effectiveness.
Objectives. The aim is to examine the current reporting system based on the specifics of the activities of Russian universities in order to identify problematic aspects of the presentation of information on research and development, determine further prospects for improving the structure and content of reporting on the results of research activities of universities.
Methods. The study employs general scientific methods of cognition, including analysis, synthesis, observation, systematization, classification, comparison, generalization.
Results. We reviewed forms of statistical monitoring of university activities in the field of research and development, the structure and content of reporting, examined the structure and content of university self-examination reports characterizing research activities, investigated possibilities for evaluating the research activities of the report on intellectual capital of universities, integrated reporting, and comprehensive public reporting of universities.
Conclusions. All reports are generated with varying level of detail, the same information is duplicated in different forms of reporting, some reports are overloaded. Reporting is mainly aimed at satisfying the interests of government regulators and does not meet the needs of other stakeholders. This necessitates the development of modern advanced reporting concepts, taking into account the specifics of universities to meet the needs of a wide range of users.
Tax incentives for investments within the framework of the Corporate Income Tax: Effects and prospects of reform
Authors: KOROLEVA Lyudmila P.
Published: December 2024

Subject. The article addresses the tax expenditure of the State in the framework of the corporate income tax, aimed at encouragement of investments.
Objectives. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of stimulating tax expenses for corporate income tax on the volume and structure of investments in fixed capital within the framework of the current legislation and in the context of the ongoing tax reform in the Russian Federation.
Methods. The study employed general scientific research methods, methods of economic analysis, correlation and regression analysis.
Results. The paper analyzes State tax expenditures for 2016–2023 and the forecast period for 2024–2026 under the current legislation. It assesses the planned changes in the corporate income tax as part of the ongoing tax reform, presents a regression model to reflect the impact of stimulating tax expenditures of the State on corporate income tax for investments in fixed assets.
Conclusions. Higher corporate income tax rates (up to 25%) may reduce investment activity of businesses that do not have access to investment tax benefits. There will be increased interest in applying reduced tax rates in both legal and illegal ways. Therefore, the federal investment tax deduction should be provided to a wide category of taxpayers, and the availability of borrowed funds for the implementation of priority investment projects should be ensured.
