Published: July 2023

Introduction. Dropshipping is one of the most popular business models used by e-commerce companies. For the operation of the business, the dropshipper provides only an electronic storefront and online customer service. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that communication and information technologies create new opportunities for development and optimization of dropshipping business model, contribute to expanding the sales market, improving labor productivity, effective use of resources, and improving the quality of business management and service provision.
The purpose of the work is to investigate the theoretical and practical aspects of the dropshipping business model, to build a web-oriented system for the sale of goods based on the dropshipping business model.
Methodology. To achieve the goal we applied general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, logical generalization and comparison, we applied graphical and tabular methods for presentation of research results, we applied functional model IDEF0 and its decomposition to describe business processes of the system for the sale of goods according to the dropshipping business model.
Results. The main advantages and disadvantages of the dropshipping business model are given in the article. We discuss options for online sales channels in the dropshipping business model, such as general markets, social media channels, and enterprise own website along with their advantages and disadvantages. The need to develop and implement a web-oriented system for the sale of goods to automate the activities of enterprises in the field of dropshipping is substantiated. At the stage of designing a web-based system for the sale of goods we built model of the business processes of the system for the sale of goods based on the business model of dropshipping in the form of a functional IDEF0 model and its decomposition. We built structural and structural-functional diagrams of a web-oriented system for the sale of goods, a block diagram of the work algorithm. The web-oriented system for selling goods is presented in the form of a catalog – a resource on which all the products offered by the dropshipper are placed in the form of a list with a detailed description of the products. The necessity of using the CRM system as part of the server-end of the web-oriented system for automating the management of relations with customers is substantiated.

Assessment of the activities of Ukrainian banks by rating agencies under the conditions of marital state
Authors: Grudzevuch Uljana
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The market of rating services is gradually developing both at the international and national levels. Over the years of operation of rating agencies, a significant number of various ratings have been developed and used. In particular, typical ratings are credit ratings of the issuer and debt obligations. One of the rating objects, along with countries, municipalities, large industrial enterprises, are banking institutions. If at the beginning of the activity of rating agencies in Ukraine, mainly banks with foreign capital and large banks had a rating, then in recent years all banks received a rating, which is one of the measures of their financial stability and reliability. At the same time, in recent years, in the conditions of the corona crisis, and currently in the conditions of martial law, the issues of expediency, objectivity and the need for rating assessment, including banks, have been actively raised, since there are significant differences in the assigned ratings on a national and international scale, and quite often, banks that received sufficiently high investment grade ratings from national rating agencies later became bankrupt.
Purpose. Study of the main approaches and activities regarding the rating assessment of banks' activities by international and national rating agencies in the conditions of martial law.
Methodology. On the basis of comparative and statistical analysis, a study of the rating assessment of the activity of banking institutions of Ukraine was carried out, the decisive factors influencing bank credit ratings and deposit reliability ratings were analyzed, the relationship between the sovereign rating of the country and the credit ratings of banks assigned by international rating agencies was determined.
Results. The necessity of determining the ratings of banks, which act as an element of maintaining the reputation and image of the bank and provide an opportunity to enter international markets, attract investments, and also increase the level of awareness of clients about the financial condition and reliability of banks, has been proven. Emphasis is placed on the need to improve the legislative regulation of rating and unification of the methodology and scale of bank deposit reliability ratings.

Analysis of practical aspects making management decisions in small business
Authors: Kuznetsova Inna , Sokurenko Igor
Published: July 2023

The issue of making managerial decisions in the practice of small business is considered. The key idea of the article is to prove a number of hypotheses regarding the practice of making management decisions by small business enterprises.
The purpose of the article: to analyze the practice of making managerial decisions in a small business and summarize its characteristic features.
Method (methodology). To achieve the goal, a number of general methods of scientific research were used: comparison, systematization and generalization. As well as special methods: expert evaluations, empirical research and methods of processing questionnaire data - to confirm the proposed hypotheses regarding the practice of managerial decision-making by small enterprises.
The results of the research are presented based on a questionnaire survey of 42 small business enterprises of Odessa and Odesa region. A number of hypotheses regarding the preference of small enterprises for management decisions of a current and operational nature have been confirmed; predominant centralized system of management decision-making; the presence of problems in making managerial decisions by small enterprises at the stage of growth.
It was established that the maximum horizon for making management decisions is the period from a quarter to a year. Making decisions related to solving daily problems takes up the lion's share of entrepreneurs' time.
It has been proven that owners and managers of small business enterprises in the process of developing and making management decisions are guided mainly by their own experience, intuition, as well as a number of other subjective factors. It has been established that less than half of small business entrepreneurs make decisions based on the suggestions of the company's personnel or on the basis of the recommendations of external consultants. Delegation of authority in small business almost does not happen.
It is substantiated that at the stage of growth in the activity of small enterprises, problems in making managerial decisions appear. The causes of the problems have been determined, which include: lack of established task priorities, mismatch between the number of tasks and the amount of human resources, lack of clearly established information exchange processes and decision-making procedures.
The inadequacy of methodological developments regarding management decision-making taking into account the specifics of small business is justified.

Authors: Nuzhna Svitlana , Karimov Hennadii , Karimov Ivan
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The successful functioning and competitiveness of any enterprise in the agricultural sector directly depends on the coordinated interaction of all subsystems of the enterprise, including logistics. The introduction of pandemic quarantine due to COVID-19 and military operations in Ukraine forced the economy to adapt to a different mode of operation. However, some industries cannot fully transition to remote modes. Logistics cannot yet be fully virtualized. Along with the transition to the most remote mode of operation, the delivery of consumer goods and personal orders continues, which challenges enterprises to find ways to improve logistics activities.
Purpose. Based on the conducted research and analysis, develop a mathematical model for finding the best suboptimal solutions for the problem of reducing the transport costs of agricultural enterprises during the transportation (sale) of products.
Methodology. In the process of the research, an economic-mathematical model was built on the example of a production-transportation problem on the optimization of the transportation plan of some homogeneous products directly from suppliers to consumers, on the example of the activity of the agricultural enterprise PPC "Agrocentr" in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The model was tested on the statistical data of the company's work for 2021, modern Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software was used, namely, the Solution Search tool and Google Sheets tools.
Results. It has been proven that the results of the optimization of the product transportation plan make it possible to use the production potential of the enterprise in the most effective way and ensure the lowest costs during the sale of products. Such a model can be used to analyze the activity of any agricultural enterprise, for different periods of time, and will also reveal the features of the transportation of products not only of the enterprise, but also of its individual divisions, and in addition, it makes it possible to make management decisions at various stages of production and sales of products.

Authors: Dmytruk Vitalii
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The oil and gas sector is of strategic importance for guaranteeing the energy security and sustainable development of the country. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of management of oil and gas extraction enterprises is a critical factor for ensuring their sustainability and further development. Considering the various challenges faced by oil and gas extraction enterprises, such as changes in the global energy market, strict environmental standards, and requirements for sustainable development in the conditions of European integration, effective management becomes critically important. The approach of value-based management takes into account not only the performance indicators of oil and gas extraction enterprises, but also the values that determine the role of the oil and gas extraction industry in society. This means that not only economic factors, but also social, ecological, and ethical aspects are institutionalized and formalized in management decisions. Implementation of this approach can help reduce the negative impact on the environment, ensure the social responsibility of enterprises, promote the development of innovative technology, and increase the satisfaction of consumer needs.
The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing methodological approaches of management practice in the context of the development of value-based management tools at oil and gas extraction enterprises.
Methodology. The research is based on the integrative, sectoral, and interdisciplinary approaches to analyzing the available tools of value-based management and identification of the features, advantages, and limitations of the active practice of value-based management, taking into account both domestic realities and foreign experience.
The results. Functional approaches to value-based management of oil and gas extraction enterprises, which are based on the world experience and current industry trends, have been considered. Problematic aspects and limitations in the application of methodological approaches in value-based management have been analyzed. Attention is focused on the need to form a specially adapted toolkit of value-based management for oil and gas extraction enterprises; recommendations for its implementation in management practice have been formulated. The obtained scientific results will contribute to further development of theoretical knowledge in the field of value-based management at oil and gas extraction enterprises.

Authors: Nomura Shintaro , Watanabe Hideyuki , Kashiwaya Satoshi
Published: July 2023

Near-field enhancement of the microwave field is applied for imaging high frequency radio field using a diamond chip with an n-doped isotopically purified diamond layer grown by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. A short π pulse length enables us to utilize a multipulse dynamic decoupling method for the detection of radio frequency field at 19.23 MHz. An extraordinary frequency resolution of the external magnetic field detection is achieved by using amplitude-shaped control pulses. Our method opens up the possibility for high-frequency-resolution RF imaging at μm spatial resolution using nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond.

Authors: Saragih Dearmayanti , Haryanto Dwi , Marsanto Budi
Published: July 2023

Pembayaran klaim dapat dilakukan tidak lama setelah klaim dilaporkan, namun pada beberapa jenis asuransi tertentu, terkadang pembayaran klaimnya membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama dihitung dari saat terjadinya klaim, seperti klaim asuransi marine.  Perusahaan Asuransi wajib menyediakan dana siap pakai secara tepat untuk memenuhi kewajiban kepada tertanggung atau pemegang polis. Perbedaan nilai mata uang saat pemegang polis melakukan klaim dan perusahaan asuransi melakukan pembayaran klaim menyebabkan perbedaan nilai uang yang harus disediakan perusahaan berbeda akibat laju inflasi. Penentuan besar cadangan klaim yang optimal merupakan salah satu hal yang krusial bagi perusahaan asuransi. Dalam tugas akhir data klaim diolah dengan menggunakan metode chain ladder basic dan Inflation adjusted chain ladder untuk menentukan cadangan klaim di masa depan yang harus dibayar dengan menggunakan data run off triangle. Data yang digunakan merupakan data dari jumlah klaim yang diamati di masa lalu yang terletak di segitiga kiri atas dan data yang akan diestimasi terletak di segitiga bawah. Baris pada data run off triangle mewakili periode terjadinya klaim dan kolom mewakili periode pengembangan, periode saat klaim diselesaikan. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan data workshop Aktuaria Asosiasi Asuransi Umum Indonesia (AAUI) mengenai cadangan teknis. Estimasi cadangan klaim yang diperoleh dari kedua metodologi tersebut dibandingkan untuk menentukan metode yang tepat dalam menentukan cadangan klaim IBNR.

A CASE OF NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS PRESENTED WITH SEIZURES: A CASE REPORT
Authors: D. Sherasiya Divyesh , Pandya Himshikha
Published: July 2023

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is dened as the infection
of the CNS and the meninges by the larval stageof Taenia
solium. It is the most common helminthic infection ofthe
CNS worldwide. It is a leading cause of epilepsy in developing
countries including India, Africa, Latin America and China.
Human cysticercosis is caused by ingestion of T. solium eggs
from taenia carriers. Parasites may lodgeinbrain parenchyma,
subarachnoid space, ventricular system, or spinal cord,
causing pathological changes that account for the
pleomorphism of this disease. Staging of cysticerci can be
characterized by MRI: Vesicular cysts arestage one and
colloidal cysts are stage two. These cysts anprogress to stage
three which has granularnodular degeneration with onset
of calcication and nally stage four, orcomplete
calcication on Ct and MRI. Seizures/ epilepsy are the
most common clinical manifestation. The two most c o m m o n
typesof cysts are (1)Vesicularcysts whichare lessepileptogenic
and have less mass effect onimaging and (2) Colloid cyst
which consist of gelatinous material that exhibits ring
enhancement and edema on imaging which is associated
with increased epileptogenic potential. Many patients also
presents with headache, focal decits, intracranial
hypertension, or cognitive decline. Accurate diagnosis
of NCC is possible after interpretation of clinical data
together with ndings of neuroimaging studies and
results of immunological tests. However, neuroimagingstudies
are fundamental for diagnosis because immunological test
and clinical manifestations only provide circumstantial
evidence of NCC. The introduction of cysticidal drugs changed
the prognosis of most NCC patients. These drugs have been
shown to reduce the burden of infection and to improve the
clinical course of the disease in many patients.

Background: Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for about 22% of mortality as per WHO. In spite of ever-increasing efforts to understand it as a process, its incidence in the population increasing day by day. A unique perspective of diagnosis and treatment can be seen in ayurveda with the inculcation of natural remedies, rasoushadhi prayoga, rasayana prayoga and preventive strategies. Materials and methods: Some of the common rasa(mineral) preparations given internally are navajeevana rasa, kamadugdha rasa, keharuba pisthi, navapasanam, raktamritha somakalpa sinduram, pravala chandrodaya rasa, chandramritha sinduram, kapala bhasma apart from single rasa dravya prayoga. Results: Rasaoushadhies are recommended in minute doses/trace or ultra-trace amounts (Alpa/Swalpa Matra) and since these are inorganic in nature most often, they are tasteless hence not poses any problem of palatability or acceptability. Ayurvedic preparations can act as an adjuvant or a co-therapy along with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. It is also helpful in post surgery care. Conclusion: Cancer treatment through ayurveda does not only focus on the area of the malignancy but on the entire system, as the whole-body crust return to harmony for the disease to be traced permanently and not reoccur elsewhere. This can be effectively done by rasoushadhi chikitsa (herbo mineral treatment)

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is one of the treatment options for renal and upper
ureteric calculus; however, the outcome depends on multiple factors. Our study aims to evaluate the
factors that may inuence ESWL outcomes in Indian patients with upper urinary tract calculi. Between 2018 and 2020, a total of
300 adult patients who underwent ESWL for renal and upper ureteral calculus sizing 5 to 20 mm were included in the study
program. Patients with 2 calculi, the presence of distal ureteric obstruction and renal anomalies were excluded. The clinical
outcome of ESWL was assessed by factors like site, size, location and density. After statistical analysis, a p-value ≤0.05 was
taken as the level of signicance. The overall success rate was 79.3%. A statistically signicant association was found between
the size, density of the calculus and presence of stents and clearance rate whereas no signicant association was found with the
number and the location of the calculi. ESWL should be considered a primary treatment modality in patients with calculi size
≤10 mm, and density ≤ 1000 HU in renal & upper ureter. It is important to consider these factors like stone size, density and
location before planning the treatment.

It is a common condition affecting how a woman’s ovary work, characterized by irregular periods, excess androgen (male hormone), and the absence of polycystic ovaries. Unfortunately, 50 to 70 percent struggle with undiagnosed PCOS because PCOS diagnosis is still tricky. Recently, machine learning has been a trending topic and has proven efficient in diagnosing diseases. Machine learning can help diagnose by analyzing collected clinical data and might become a powerful tool to help women struggle with undiagnosed PCOS. The output of this research will be a classification model to detect PCOS by implementing Gradient Boosted Decision Tree and using data collected from ten different hospitals in Kerala, India. There are 45 clinical and physical features from the collected data. For model construction, this study will implement feature selection algorithm to rank the existing features, hyperparameter optimization and data resampling. The models will be built with different number of features from the maximum number to only ten features. Ultimately, these metrics will evaluate the final classification models: accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score.
Per una “linea femminile” nei servizi educativi a sostegno della famiglia e della genitorialità: il contributo di bell hooks al rapporto tra intersezionalità e presidio del setting pedagogico
Authors: D'Antone Alessandro , Bianchi Lavinia
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we analyse the possible contribution of bell hooks’s “engaged Pedagogy” to the educational services geared towards family and parenting support. On the one hand, we discuss bell hooks’s interpretation of families and education through an intersectional perspective, outlining a possible “Pedagogy of resistance” as a point of view of interpretation and intervention with regard to educational services supporting families and parenting. On the other hand, we apply different materialistic, neo-structuralist and complexity theories in discussing the dynamic and problematic character of contemporary families. In doing so, the Home Education service is analyzed as a connecting service (between families, school and social fabric) oriented towards recovery, prevention, and education.
Processi di tipizzazione di genere in famiglie con genitori migranti e a rischio di povertà educativa: un’esperienza formativa condotta nell’ambito del Progetto “Ali per il Futuro”

Gender typing is the process by which children acquire the values, motives and behaviours considered appropriate for their gender, in their particular culture. Parents have a significant impact on children’s gender typing because they may directly instruct children to behave in certain (gender typed) ways; or implicitly model and/or reinforce certain types of behaviour in children. Culture and society have also a great impact: indeed, there are variations between and within cultures in male/female roles and stereotypes, how they are accepted and how they affect behaviour. In any case, gender differentiation and gender-typing have profound social and personal consequences. For instance, access to education remains stereotypically gendered with consequences for educational poverty. Gender typing process were explored in a group of migrant parents at risk for educational poverty participating in a training experience within “Ali per il Futuro” Project.
«We can’t leave them alone fighting against a dragon»: Educators’ Representations through Images of Adolescents’ Wellbeing during Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Borelli Chiara
Published: July 2023

Numerous alarming research are indicating the urgency to shed light on adolescents’ wellbeing during this pandemic crisis. Since qualitative and pedagogical literature on the topic is rather limited, this pilot study aims to investigate adolescents’ wellbeing through the eyes of education and health professionals working with them. In April 2021 three “image-elicited interviews” were conducted in order to stimulate narratives and storytelling using evocative illustrations as a stimulus. The results reveal a general tendency in adolescents towards negative emotions and self-closure, as well as difficulties in the relationship with themselves and the world around; professionals are worried about adolescents’ wellbeing.
Povertà valoriale, povertà educativa. Il prisma pandemico
Authors: Corsi Michele
Published: July 2023

The paper analyzes a limited period: namely, from March 2020 to April 2021, with a particular eye on Easter 2021, in Italy. To get to the present day. In which the pandemic acts as a unit of investigation, or a magnifying glass, to support the link between axiological poverty and educational poverty, as it is in the intentions, or in the interpretation, of the author. In a pedagogical control room, or a frame of reference. Dwelling, specially, on the younger generations, as well as on schools and families. Last but not least, on parents or adults in general, inthe current Italian social and economic context. Going to investigate the two personal and relational behaviors or attitudes that seem to prevail in most of the national population from adolescence onwards: distrust and suspicion. Which are the fallout from the great forgotten of the most recent three or four decades: education. In conclusion, the author hopes for a post-pandemic reconstruction including educational, relational, social and politic values.
The Armenian Genocide in Letters to the Editor of The Irish Times
Authors: Martini Isabella
Published: July 2023

Selected by newspaper editors to keep specific topics current in the news, Letters to the Editor (LTE) have long intertwined with historical events, among which the twentieth century Armenian genocide. At that time international humanitarian workers and political personalities made appeals to the reading public and expressed their indignation for the violence perpetrated to Armenian civilians. Rarely, however, have LTE been studied for their linguistic features. Since they were to meet the ideological agenda of the newspaper’s readers of the time, which recurrent linguistic strategies were used to achieve this? This contribution is part of a more extensive research combining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis to study the representation of the Armenian genocide in historical news discourse.
Ireland’s Diplomatic Performance in the Mid and Late-Twentieth Century: A Model for Other Small States?
Authors: Gandouz Hajer
Published: July 2023

After its intense phase of insularity, Ireland has reached a considerable diplomatic role. The past vulnerability of Ireland due to its subjection to colonialism made its domestic sphere and foreign agenda in the early 1920s insular. However, Ireland started to transcend its isolation as it showed more openness to the world in the mid-twentieth century. More specifically, Dublin, in the post-World War II context, began to exhibit its interest in having a more dynamic role in the international scene. In fact, Ireland displayed its engagement with matters that exceeded its domestic sphere through its membership in the United Nations. Its performance in such an Intergovernmental Organization unveiled the Irish devotion to principles like peace-keeping and collective security. This article aims to assess Ireland’s dynamic role, which started to appear in the mid-twentieth century. Besides, the late-twentieth century was also a significant phase for Dublin and its international presence. This epoch was characterized by Ireland’s integration into the European region. Most importantly, the phenomenon of globalization reached its peak at that time, and Ireland witnessed an unprecedented experience of economic opulence known as the Celtic Tiger. Focus should also be laid on Dublin’s interesting development in such a globalized climate. Its remarkable evolution, especially in the 1990s, tends to be considered a “model” for other small European and non-European states. Therefore, this paper attempts to scrutinize the extent to which other small states can learn from the example of Ireland.
Digital Hyperworks: A Few Irish e-Lit Examples
Authors: Antonielli Arianna
Published: July 2023

As the very idea of authorship is changed by the digital environment, so is the role of the author, their practices, their centrality inside the text undergoing a radical transformation. The analogic author sees their works operating in a traditional, typically ‘Gutenberg’ environment, whereas the digital author exploits information technology to explore what Poster calls a “networked authorship” (2002, 490). A scattered authorship (Landow 1992, 130) and a collective/cooperative notion of writing are typical features of the digital framework, and of hyperliterary works that enable a multisequential reading. The assumptions above inform the empirical investigation developed in this study. It looks at the ways digital authorship tools have contributed to deconstructing the idea of “one strong authorial voice”. In its place, these tools have introduced a “mild”, plural alternative, which is currently being circulated on the Internet. Therefore, the unity of a digital text appears to be in its destination, not its origin. This essay considers several Irish digital works as case studies. It shows how the fragmented nature of digital literary works, which resemble the hypertextual links, moves close to Barthes’s “lexias” which, with their “galaxie[s] de signifiants” (Barthes 1984, 11) establish intra- and inter-textual connections dismantling the unity of the text and implement the notion of a multiple, collective authorship.
