Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kharkhalis Tetiana
Published: January 2025

The development of cooperation between enterprises and universities in the field of information technol- ogies (IT) is essential for fostering innovation, bridging the skills gap, and enhancing economic growth. The use of information technology is an integral part of the functioning of modern enterprises, and the demand for IT products is constantly growing. Skillful use of modern technologies allows businesses to solve a number of chal- lenges they face worldwide. Data security and protection, automated monitoring systems, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies are already being actively used by enterprises in the European Union and the United

States. At the same time, the development and implementation of information technologies require an increasing number of IT specialists. Businesses are increasingly relying on external IT service providers to support their information systems and digital innovations. Therefore, it is crucial to support IT enterprises in Ukraine and promote their expansion into the European market.

To solve the assigned tasks, a system of general scientific research methods was used. The study applied methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as grouping (to generalize the services required by enterprises). The clarity of the results was ensured by the graphical method, and the conclusions of the study were formed using methods of a systematic approach and generalization.The informational basis of the research included legal regulations, international expert studies, and scientific works of domestic and foreign scholars in the field of information technology.

The article highlights the increasing global demand for IT products, with businesses showing a strong inclination to invest in innovative solutions. While IT services spending is projected to grow by 7.1% in 2024, this marks a decrease from the earlier forecast of 9.7%, partly attributed to reduced spending in areas like consulting and business process services. It was found that сommunication and IT services are the most in de- mand among enterprises.Іn the context of globalization and digital transformation, investing in the IT sector is a strategic move for Ukraine, which will not only strengthen the country's economic position on the global stage but also ensure sustainable long-term development.

The findings of this research will be valuable for government programs, local authorities, and other stake- holders engaged in IT business.

Published: January 2025

The article explores the evolution of the concept of "global food security", identifying and analyzing the key determinants that influence food security levels worldwide. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the essence and determinants of global food security to develop scientifically sound recommendations for ensuring the availability and quality of food for all people on the planet.

The study found that the concept of "global food security" has evolved from a simple focus on food availability to a comprehensive approach that considers accessibility, quality, and safety of food products. Global food security is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses not only food availability but also its accessibility, quality, safety, and the sustainability of production. Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

The systematic classification of factors influencing global food security allowed for the grouping and characterization of key determinants of food security, including: food production, international trade and logistics, climate change and extreme weather events, economic stability and economic inequality, wars and conflicts, technologies, and innovations.

The article proposes a comprehensive approach to tackling the problem of hunger, based on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the need for urgent measures to ensure food security, which would include: reducing food waste and food loss; increasing funding and credit for farmers and developing agricultural and logistical infrastructure; combating climate change; stabilizing the political situation in countries suffering from hunger; addressing the indirect causes of food insecurity; increasing the availability of food aid for countries suffering from hunger, etc.

As a result, achieving global food security requires a combined effort from governments, international organizations, and the global community to create fair and environmentally balanced food systems that ensure healthy and quality food for all people on the planet.

Published: January 2025

The globalization of society contributes to economic growth by attracting foreign investment, developing international trade and expanding business opportunities, promoting technological progress and solidarity to address global challenges, such as climate change or poverty alleviation, which require joint efforts of countries around the world to find solutions at the international level. However, globalization also has a negative impact on both society and the global economy as a whole. In particular, according to the results of the World Economic Forum's Global Risks study, the impact of global risks on society and their interconnection and interdependence as a catalyst for strengthening such an impact was summarized. The article analyzes the geopolitical, economic, social, environmental, and technological categories of global risks and identifies their effects on Ukraine in the short term. The economic policies and the level of economic freedom between countries in the context of modern challenges are compared. An index analysis of economic freedom as a tool for making decisions on investment, business development and economic policy development in Ukraine and the world was performed. The authors analyze a number of other threats and dangers and their impact on the business climate and conditions of domestic business and describe the main risks to the national economy in the situation of uncertainty. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the current economic and geopolitical context affecting the national economy of Ukraine and the global system as a whole in order to identify key risks and factors of instability. The realization of this goal entails a number of tasks: determining Ukraine's place in the context of global risks against the background of accelerating technological change, economic uncertainty and interstate armed conflicts; the impact of global challenges on the economic freedom of the national and world economies; the national economy in the context of martial law and post-war recovery.

The research methods: comparison, explanation, abstraction, empirical analysis and synthesis, a combined method of similarity and divergence.

The article examines the peculiarities of the financial and credit system of Liechtenstein, in particular, the structure, peculiarities of the activities of the central bank, commercial banks, parabanking institutions, peculiarities of regulation of the securities market, the insurance system, elements of the social security infrastructure. Problems and prospects for the development of the financial sector of Liechtenstein were analyzed and recommendations were developed for the improvement of the financial and credit system of Liechtenstein. The indicators of the financial stability of the banking system of Liechtenstein are considered. The most significant risk factors for the functioning of commercial banks have been determined. Indicators of the development of the securities market and the main risks for the functioning of the country's financial market were also analyzed. Mechanisms of providing social assistance, features of health insurance and pension provision are considered. The common and distinctive characteristics of the financial and credit system and the social security system of Liechtenstein and Ukraine are singled out. Recommendations are offered to minimize the negative impact on the development of the country's economy in all areas.

The results of the study indicate that Liechtenstein's financial and credit system is dynamic and stable, but at the same time requires careful regulation and control to maintain its reputation and stability. The financial and credit system of Liechtenstein is stable and dynamically developing. Its main advantages are a favorable business environment, international orientation and the development of innovations. However, the system also has a number of weaknesses, such as the small size of the country and the absence of a central bank. In order to maintain its competitiveness, Liechtenstein should focus on developing innovations, expanding access to international markets and diversifying its economy.

Research on this topic can help to understand how the system affects the environment, as well as to develop recommendations for minimizing the negative impact. Also, Liechtenstein actively supports the development of innovations in the field of finance, such as blockchain and fintech. This direction of research can be very promising, because it can help to understand how innovations affect the work of the financial and credit system, as well as develop recommendations for their implementation.

Published: January 2025

As is well known, an important component of Ukraine's European integration is trade cooperation with EU countries, which has provided Ukrainian enterprises with simplified access to the markets of the European Union. Amid the deepening of these integration processes, the article analyses the main foreign trade partners of Ukraine. In order to study trends in changes in foreign trade during the period of martial law, the article uses 3 analytical periods: 1st quarter 2020, 1st quarter 2022, 1st quarter 2024. Cluster analysis implemented in SPSS from IBM was used to form groups of foreign trade partners.
During the studied period, Poland and Germany belong to the group of the largest foreign trade partners of Ukraine in the EU. Spain, Italy and the Netherlands are included in the second group of countries in terms of the volume of foreign trade operations, which, however, in the 1st quarter in 2022, due to Ukraine's restrictions on foreign trade, the volume of export-import operations with Ukraine was reduced in to cluster 3 (Romania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, France, Hungary). Cluster 4 is characterized by the lowest volume of export-import transactions with Ukraine, and it includes the last group of coun- tries (Sweden, Malta, Portugal, Latvia, Ireland, Greece, Croatia, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Denmark, Esto- nia, Finland, Slovenia).
In terms of resuming the activity of domestic enterprises, which was suspended since the beginning of the war, the adaptability of the Ukrainian economy, changes in global supply chains and their final reorientation to EU countries, in the 1st quarter 2024, the distance between foreign trade indicators of Ukraine and individual EU countries increased. This led to the division of cluster 2 into two groups of countries: cluster 2.1 (Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania), cluster 2.2 (Greece, the Czech Republic, France, Slovakia, Bulgaria). This provides grounds for the development of trade relations with EU coun- tries, sectoral integration into the EU Internal Market, etc.
The strategy for addressing the challenges of global oil market globalization: diversification of energy sources and development of renewable technologies in Ukraine
Authors:   Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, Priamukhina Nataliia , Donets Dmytro ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2025

The article explores the challenges of globalization in the global oil market and proposes a strategy for addressing them. It was found that the globalization of the oil market and related issues significantly affect Ukraine’s economy and population due to the country's heavy dependence on oil and petroleum imports to meet domestic needs. Along with the impact of global oil market challenges, the war in Ukraine has significantly affected the country's energy security and exacerbated economic problems related to oil import dependence. Russian aggression destroyed a substantial portion of the infrastructure, disrupted traditional energy supply chains, and forced Ukraine to seek alternative energy sources. The refusal to use oil from the aggressor country has necessitated finding new suppliers, a process complicated by high global market prices and logistical challenges. Therefore, energy security and reducing oil dependency have gained strategic importance for Ukraine. The military conflict has exposed the country's critical vulnerability to energy supply disruptions, prompting the government to explore new models of energy system development. Developing a strategy to counter the challenges of the global oil market is crucial for Ukraine, as it will help reduce the country's dependence on oil imports, which is a key factor in national security, particularly during wartime and geopolitical instability.

The strategy to address the challenges of global oil market globalization focuses on several key areas: diversification of energy sources, development of renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation, strengthening energy security, innovations and new technologies, reforms and regulatory policies, international cooperation, and integration. The proposed strategy will ensure the resilience of the energy system to external shocks and improve the domestic economic situation by mitigating the risks of price volatility and energy shortages. These initiatives will enhance energy independence, reduce reliance on global oil fluctuations, and ensure stable post-war development, forming the foundation for sustainable economic growth and well-being of the population.

Published: January 2025

The financial stability of the banking system is a key factor that ensures the functioning of economic systems in conditions of external disturbances of various natures and prevents financial and economic crises of various scales. The article sets the following research tasks: to calculate the integral indicator of the financial stability of the banking system of Ukraine and evaluate its dynamics for the period 2020-2023; characterize the main methods and levers that ensured the preservation of the financial stability of the banking system in conditions of external disturbances.

To assess the financial stability of the banking system, prudential standards for the banking system were used (without taking into account liquidity indicators due to their absence on the NBU website), in particular: H1 – the amount of regulatory capital; H2 – regulatory capital adequacy; H3 – adequacy of fixed capital; H7 – the maximum amount of credit risk per counterparty; H8 – high credit risk; H9 – the maximum amount of credit risk for transactions with persons related to the bank. The sample includes 45 observations during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. The level of financial stability of the banking system is estimated using an integral indicator, which is calculated as the difference between a unit and a taxonomic indicator of the level of development of the system.

The financial stability of Ukraine's banking system has been adversely affected to varying degrees by the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale invasion of Russia. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the imposed quarantine, the banking system of Ukraine demonstrated its resilience, and banks demonstrated their readiness to work, providing services in various formats. The reduction of the discount rate made it possible to support the economy of Ukraine during this period. In the conditions of a full-scale invasion of Russia, the NBU managed to maintain the stability of the financial system of Ukraine. The banking system was successfully restored sometime after the start of the full-scale war thanks to the introduction of the number of restrictions and limits by the National Bank of Ukraine with their subsequent relaxation, a significant increase in the discount rate in June 2022, and its subsequent reduction taking into account the financial situation in the country.

Published: January 2025

Procrastination in academia is a problem. Students are one of the academic actors who are expected to meet the needs of the global community through the skills gained from higher education institutions, to change a country's achievement of the Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to determine academic procrastination in higher education using the meta-analysis method. The search was conducted in the Scopus database published since 1989. A total of 73 articles with a sample of 30,070 students spread across universities in 10 countries with ownership of the main HDI achievements in the world. The results of the research on academic procrastination in universities showed up to 34 low-category articles, 28 medium-category articles, 8 high-ranking articles, and 3 very high-category articles. This inconsistent condition is caused by differences in regional, geographical, environmental, and cultural conditions formed in the society of each country in the sample. The article found no publication bias, while limitations and recommendations for further research were presented. Recommendations for future research examine more deeply the factors influencing the formation of different categorizations of academic procrastination at the levels of formal, non-formal, and informal education in general, as well as certain criteria.

Published: January 2025

Child marriage is still widely practiced in many regions of Indonesia, justified by theological reasons that it is entirely permissible. Marrying children at a young age is also seen by many as an achievement, as it is believed to help prevent them from engaging in promiscuous behavior. These issues have prompted research into child marriage from the perspective of maqāṣid al-usrah. The article aimed to describe the internalization of the Sundanese tradition into child marriage law from the maqāṣid al usrah perspective. This article used qualitative field research with sociology, anthropology, and usul-fiqh approaches. Data collection techniques were interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The informants were the head of KUA (Office of Religious Affairs), mudin (imams), religious leaders, and education practitioners. The study showed that the pattern of internalizing the Sundanese tradition into child marriage law is dominant, assisted by religious leaders as a catalyst to allow child marriage laws.

The harmonization of Islamic law through the spiritual dimension and the transformation of Islamic teachings in seems to be a disconnect between the spiritual essence of Islam and its legal framework in contemporary times. This disconnect raises questions about the extent to which current Islamic law fully embraces the spiritual principles that have become an integral part of the Nusantara heritage. Therefore, this research aimed to explore how Sheikh Washil's fiqh-sufistic can function as an Islamic legal framework, based on the spiritual principles of the Nusantara and answer contemporary issues. This research used an interdisciplinary approach with two approaches, History and Islamic Law. This research explored the literature of Sheikh Washil including his contribution to Islamic law. The findings of this study: first, fiqh-sufistic contributes to spiritual studies within a legal framework in order to understand and practice the characteristics of Islam Nusantara with an inclusive approach through the values of living ihya in da'wah and thought. Second, fiqh-sufistic presents a balanced approach to Islamic law, which is in harmony with the cultural context and heritage. The integration of fiqh-tasawuf shows the harmonization of Islamic law and the transformation of Islamic teachings in the context of the Nusantara. Third, the prevalence of fiqh-sufistic has had a transformative impact on the inclusive religious landscape, encouraging a deeper understanding of Islam as a way of life, not just a set of legal rules.

The reform of the state and supervision activities is carried out in order to improve the efficiency of supervision activities due to the optimal use of human, material, and financial resources used for the state control (supervision), reduction of expenses of legal bodies, individual entrepreneurs, and improving the performance of activities by the state control (supervision) bodies when organizing specific types of the state control (supervision). One of the most efficient methods to reach the goals is the implementation of the risk-oriented approach which is a method of organization and implementation of the state control (supervision) based on the choice of intensity (form, duration, and periodicity) of events of control and is determined by the classification of activities of a legal body, individual entrepreneur, and (or) production facilities used by them during such activities to a certain risk category or to a certain hazard class (category). The adoption of the Federal Law «On the state control (supervision) in the Russian Federation» gave new impetus to the application of the risk-oriented approach. It introduced a number of new approaches to the practices of control and supervision activities.
The classification criteria as four hazard classes of facilities are legislatively established for hazardous production facilities in industrial safety. The Ministry of Labor of Russia classified such facilities in accordance with five risk categories.
The Federal Law «On the state control (supervision) in the Russian Federation» stipulates that unscheduled supervisory inspections are mainly conducted based on the risk indices, the list of which must be approved by a federal executive body. Such lists were approved by Rostechnadzor in 2021 and by the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation in 2023. They were updated in 2023 and will be expanded in the future.
The implementation of the risk-oriented approach in Rostechnadzor and the Ministry of Labor helped to reduce the number of scheduled inspections and increase the number of unscheduled inspections conducted based on the activation of risk indices.
