Apuntes acerca de las nociones de indisciplinariedad y malpensamiento como vías de restitución de la imagen
Authors: Cáceres Jaramillo Juan Fernando
Published: May 2021

El indisciplinamiento se presenta como una posibilidad metodológica para la creación artística, pero también una apuesta de carácter ético y político. Esta categoría se moviliza hacia un distanciamiento y una toma de consciencia frente a los dispositivos disciplinares hegemónicos, el desbordamiento de las disciplinas y el cuestionamiento de la disciplina desde la disciplina misma. Las tres vías se oponen a la consolidación de universalismos totalitarios y excluyentes, lo que conlleva la apertura de nuevas perspectivas. Prácticas del Fracaso es un espacio performático que permite que los diferentes agentes que participan cuestionen sus propias prácticas a través de la idea del fracaso como detonante de creación. El fracaso es indisciplinante y contraortogenético, en cuanto permite indagar otras posibilidades creativas que transformen aquello que el participante creía seguro y que restituyen el papel de la imagen en el diálogo entre conocimiento y saberes, a través la imposibilidad, la falencia y el error.

The hospital water environment, including the wastewater drainage system, is increasingly reported as a potential reservoir for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE). We investigated a persistent outbreak of OXA-48 CPE (primarily Citrobacter freundii) in a haematological ward of a French teaching hospital by epidemiological, microbiological and environmental methods. Between January 2016 and June 2019, we detected 37 new OXA-48 CPE-colonised and/or ‑infected patients in the haematological ward. In October 2017, a unit dedicated to CPE-colonised and/or ‑infected patients was created. Eleven additional sporadic acquisitions were identified after this date without any obvious epidemiological link between patients, except in one case. Environmental investigations of the haematological ward (June–August 2018) identified seven of 74 toilets and one of 39 drains positive for OXA-48 CPE (seven C. freundii, one Enterobacter sakazakii, one Escherichia coli). Whole genome comparisons identified a clonal dissemination of OXA-48-producing C. freundii from the hospital environment to patients. In addition to strict routine infection control measures, an intensive cleaning programme was performed (descaling and bleaching) and all toilet bowls and tanks were changed. These additional measures helped to contain the outbreak. This study highlights that toilets can be a possible source of transmission of OXA-48 CPE.
Centrifuge modeling of normal faulting and underground tunnel in sandy soil deposit
Authors: Nabizadeh Ali , Seghateh Mojtahedi Alireza
Published: May 2021

Earthquakes of large magnitudes cause fault ruptures propagation in soil layers and lead to interactions with subsurface and surface structures. The emergence of fault ruptures on or adjacent to the position of existing tunnels cause significant damage to the tunnels. The objective of this paper is to study the interaction of an embedded tunnel within a soil layer and the soil deformations imposed upon by normal faulting. A centrifuge modeling under 80-g acceleration was conducted to investigate the rupture propagation pattern for different relative tunnel positions. Compared with the free field condition, due to tunnel and normal fault rupture interactions, focused on soil relative density and tunnel rigidity in this research, found that they can dramatically modify the rupture path depending on the tunnel position relative to the fault tip. The tunnel diverts the rupture path to its sides. This study presents the normal fault-tunnel interaction with the tunnel axis parallel to the normal fault line, to examine the changes that take place in fault rupture plane locations, the vertical displacement of the ground surface with tunnel presence and the effect of tunnel rigidity and soil density on fault tunnel interaction.
Dynamic driving formulas and static loadings in the light of wave equation solutions
Authors: Massad Faiçal
Published: May 2021

The advances in pile monitoring have motivated attempts to support dynamic formulas to estimate pile bearing capacity. Based on numerical analysis of the wave equation and the results of dynamic loading tests in three piles the paper deals with the investigation of the soundness of some of the most used in Brazil, namely, the so called Chellis-Velloso Formula, the Energy Approach Equation and Uto’s Formula. The former gained strength through a misinterpretation of Casagrande (1942) statement that the elastic compression of a pile during driving is a measure of the dynamic force with which the soil is tested, and not of its static resistance. Therefore, the elastic compression and rebound, measured during driving, are generally smaller than the corresponding static values. The second is based on an elasto-plastic load-displacement relationship without physical meaning, besides the fact that the effective energy in driving a pile is related to the work of dynamic forces and has nothing to do with the static resistances. The third was derived from a simplified solution of the wave equation, assuming among other hypothesis that there is no friction along pile shaft. The paper shows the ineffectiveness of attempts to universally validate these formulas with dynamic pile monitoring and the implications in the simulation of static loadings.

Authors:   1School of Earth Science and Engineering, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan, Hebei 056038, China.
Published: May 2021

In this paper, the acid wastewater pollution caused by the closed pit of xiayuanqiaotou Coal Mine is taken as an example. Through hydrogeological survey and field inspection, the geological and hydrogeological conditions of the study area are understood, and the cause and discharge of acid wastewater pollution in the mining area are analyzed. The results show that the goaf and coal gangue leaching water formed by the disorderly mining of small coal kilns in the Yudonghe Vally are the main sources of acidic wastewater pollution, and direct drainage from the mine mouth is the main drainage method of pollution in the Yudong Vally.Based on this, the technology of source control plus terminal treatment has been adopted, and applying regional water treatment and prevention technology to treatment is a new model of both specimens and treatments.which will play a significant role in the treatment of acid mine water in Guizhou and the south in the future.
Mini-thoracotomy versus Full Sternotomy Techniques in Mitral Valve Surgery: Blood Loss, Wound infections, Post-operative Recovery, Morbidity and Mortality Investigation
Authors:   1Cardiovascular Surgery, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Marrakech, Morocco.
Published: May 2021

Background: Mitral valve surgery is routinely performed through a Median full sternotomy (MFS) with excellent long term outcomes. Minimally invasive mitral (MIMVS) valve surgery is also a surgical approach that improves operative outcomes. In this study we report early post-operative outcomes in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery compared with MFS access with reference to Blood Loss, Wound infections, post-operative Recovery, Morbidity, Mortality and others variables. Patient and Methods: This study was a prospective data collection from 52 consecutive patients who underwent isolated mitral valve surgery at our institution from November 2017 to October 2019. Population study was divided to two groups, MIMVS (group I n= 26) and MFS (group II n=26). Pre-operative planning were performed so that to obtain similar characteristics. Intra and post-operative data were analysed. Results: The baselines characteristics were similar in both groups. Of the 26 patients in group I, 23 (88.46%) underwent mitral valve replacement and 3 a mitral valve repair. All the patients in group II underwent mitral valve replacement. There was no difference in term of mortality and morbidity. MIMVS was associated with longer CPB time (mean 161.9 vs 89.8 mins, P =.025) but similar ACC (99 mins vs 64 P=.468) time. MIMVS Patients had likely lower incidence of red blood cells transfusion (12.2% vs 34.7%,), post-operative haemoglobin was similar before transfusion. Haemorrhage complications were more likely in the group II (26.08 vs 7.7%); requiring inotropic support was found to be higher in the group II (54.5 vs 19%). In addition, patients in the MIMVS group had a shorter mechanical ventilation time (1.6 [1-6] vs 3.6 [2-8] hours; P <.01), shorter ICU stay 1.36 [1-6] vs 3.6 [2-8] days, p<.01. Length of hospital stay and chest tube stay were found to be shorter, respectively 6.9 [6-16] vs 7, 7 [7-13] and (1.38 [1-2] days vs 2.64 [2-4], P <.01). Wound infections were not found in both groups. Conclusion: Although the controversy interest of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, it may be associated with less blood loss, faster post-operative recovery but increases operation time.
SLOVAK TEMPORAL ADVERBS ČOSKORO, ONEDLHO, O CHVÍĽU: A CASE OF QUASI-SYNONYMY
Authors:   RAS Institute of Slavic Studies, Vashchenko Dar’ya Yu.
Published: May 2021

The article uses the material of the Slovak national corpus to examine the lexical meaning of the Slovak adverbs čoskoro, onedlho, o chvíľu. Their semantics presupposes a rapid onset of the situation in relation to the moment of speech or to the moment in the text. In the dictionaries of the Slovak language, these lexemes are usually not differentiated, which raises the question of their synonymy or quasi-synonymy. In the first part of the article, collocations of these adverbs are analyzed in the light of the logDice Association measure. In the second part, cases of mutual compatibility of lexemes are considered pairwise. It is shown that čoskoro tends to cooccur with mental verbs and verbs with the semantics of termination and disappearance, onedlho – with verbs with the meaning of achieving a goal, passing of time, or waiting, while o chvíľu is characterized by collocations with perceptual verbs. When adverbs cooccur in the same stretch of text, the situation indicated by onedlho usually follows the situation with čoskoro, and is most often related to it causally. O chvíľu more often denotes completed or predetermined situations, excluding the possibility of doubt. Thus, čoskoro is more focused on the interpretation of the situation by the speaker, onedlho – on the situation in its course, and o chvíľu – on the direct perception of the situation by the speaker with the ability to control the situation.
BOOK REVIEW: ALPATOV, V.M. (2018), SLOVO I CHASTI RECHI (WORD AND PARTS OF SPEECH), YASK, MOSCOW, RUSSIA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Testelets Yakov G.
Published: May 2021

Vladimir M. Alpatov’s new monograph addresses typological and theoretical issues related to the basic morphological units – word and parts of speech. It elaborates on his previous work on morphological theory, typology, and historiography of linguistic traditions. The monograph consists of an introduction and three chapters. The first two chapters, “The Problem of Word” and “The Problem of Parts of Speech” address the differences in theoretical approaches, evidence from independent linguistic traditions with particular reference to the Japanese indigenous linguistics, and data from psycholinguistic research. In the third chapter, “Anthropocentric and systemocentric approaches to language”, the author claims that the morphological logocentric and non-logocentric approaches are instances of the two more general approaches to language, respectively. In spite of some criticism, the reviewer concludes that the monograph makes much progress in understanding the structure and typology of the morphological elements, and similarities and difference among national linguistic traditions and grammatical theories.
THE NATURE OF THE IMAGE WITHIN TECHNOLOGICAL ART IN THE MID – 20TH CENTURY. LUMINO KINETIC EXPERIMENTS BY FRANK MALINA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Zakharchenko Irina N. , Shchedrina Olga M. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: May 2021

For the first time in the Russian-speaking academic environment the authors of the paper analyze the creative legacy of the scientist, aeronautical engineer and artist Frank Joseph Malina (1912–1981). His working practices reflected the most important ethic and aesthetic aspirations of the mid-twentieth century, what became an important contribution to the development of modern visual culture. The pioneer of Lumino Kinetic art F.Malina created several unique electromechanical systems for the production of an image, the media infrastructure and technological nature of which would later become the visual standard of the digital age. The discovery of electric light as a new artistic medium allowed him to focus on the production methods, control and processing algorithms for light that produces images. The Lumino Kinetic experiments of F. Malina are based on understanding the new nature of the image, born during the era of scientific discoveries. Several decades before the iconic turn was proclaimed by academic science, they presented the image as a system of relations that is formed in acts of perception and that is not based on visible, but felt, ideated, imagined reality. While creating his works F. Malina dreamed of modeling qualitatively new perceptual conditions for the existence of mankind aimed at further progress and traveling to the stars.
FOR FUN OR SERIOUSLY? IN SEARCH OF THE AUTHOR OF “L’ABUZÉ EN COURT”
Authors:   Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences, Krylova Yulia P.
Published: May 2021

The article considers some new aspects for the issue of attribution of “L’Abuzé en court” (“Deceived at Court”) – the French anonymous text of the second half of the 15th century. In the world historiography questioning the authorship of the work since long has been abandoned. Until the 19th century the author of the text was considered to be the king Rene of Anjou (1409–1480). Later that hypothesis was refuted by scholars, as long as the style of the composition did not correspond to the king`s other works. Nothing is known about “L’Abuzé en court” and the text itself does not contain any visible references to its creator. However, a broader view of the context helps one to identify significant circumstances updating the longstanding issue. So far the view of researchers has missed such important aspects for the identification of “L’Abuzé en court” – as the roles-playing nature of medieval culture, especially the courtly one, intense literary and theater activity at the court of the king Rene of Anjou, in particular, of his jester Tribulet, who was extremely appreciated by the king, and the wide popularity of the text. Those circumstances, considered together, including the life events of the king himself, allow one to make a conclusion not only on the Angevin-Provençal court`s origin of the text, but also on the influence / participation of the jester Triboulet in its creation.
HELLMOUTH IN THE JAWS OF CERBERUS. IN RUSSIA IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 17TH AND BEGINNING OF THE 18TH CENTURY
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kuznetsova Olga A.
Published: May 2021

The paper is focused on the adaptation of the image of Cerberus in Russian culture of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Times. Fragmentary information about some characters of the Greco-Roman mythology penetrated into Russian medieval literature from the Byzantine. Christians often borrowed and reinterpreted those images in the traditions of Christian symbolism. One of these characters, Cerberus, the dog of Hades, became an infernal character: a guard or a demon of the Christian Hell. As a dog it turned into an Evil animal, executioner of sinners. Аs a three-headed creature it resembled dragons and other legendary monsters. Perhaps, the story about Hercules, who tamed Cerberus, became the basis of novel in the Sinai Patericon (story about Saint John Kolobos and graveyard hyena). At the beginning of the 18th century Russia experienced a secondary influence of Ancient symbolism through Western European emblematic collections and similar translated works. A lot of exotic images were rediscovered and aquired new meanings. Under the influence of the Jesuit theatre, the mouth of Cerberus became a variation of a well-known in Russia iconographic image of Hellmouth. In the plays by Dimitri of Rostov, the characters sent to the underworld found themselves in the mouth of a monstrous dog – inside an ingenious stage device. Toward the end of the 18th century Hell as a dog’s head appeared also in Russian popular prints, lubok.
“GARDENERS” OF THE DYNASTIC TREES OF RUSSIAN PRINCES AND TSARS. ABOUT VARIATIONS OF ONE MICRO-PLOT IN THE EAST SLAVIC ART OF THE 17TH CENTURY
Authors:   The Program Systems Institute of RAS, Sukina Liudmila B.
Published: May 2021

In the East Slavic art of the 17th century images of the trees of the spiritual genealogy of Russian princes and tsars became widespread. Such compositions were present in book engraving, icon painting and fresco. Despite the general similarity, they differ in sets of images and micro-plots. The differences are due to the specific intent of each of the works. The article examines the micro-plot of the “planting” of the family tree as the most sapid and with its own variations. It’s included in the iconographic composition of five works of art from the second half of the 17th – early 18th centuries. In the paper, special attention is paid to the peculiarities of the depiction of the “gardeners” of the dynastic trees (Princess Olga, Prince Vladimir, Prince Ivan Kalita and Metropolitan Peter) and some other characters, as well as their attributes. With all the diversity of the personifications of “gardeners”, “body language” and symbols used by artists, iconographic solutions in each case worked for the one general idea. The czar dynasties of the Russian state were presented as clans founded by “right” rulers who gave their subjects state establishment and order, and also “enlightened” them with the Christian faith.

Humanitarismo (re)vestido no dispositivo moda: entre apropriação e mercantilização
Authors: Almada Larissa , Mesquita Cristiane
Published: May 2021

O século XX consolida mudanças no âmbito político-econômico-so­cial mundial que revelam uma atmosfera tomada pela racionalidade neoli­beral, onde o mercado dita as regras. Uma das características deste contexto é a mercantilização de diversas instâncias da vida, entre as quais os direitos humanos. Com atenção ampliada para as crises humanitárias, o humanitaris­mo se torna uma das variáveis fortalecidas nos dispositivos – fatores sociais que fazem operar diagramas de poder na produção de subjetividade. A moda, campo desta investigação, é considerada um dos dispositivos que delineia os modos de ser, pensar e agir desta época. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a captura e uso de questões humanitárias pelo dispositivo moda. De cará­ter qualitativo, o estudo é desenvolvido por meio de revisão teórica, além de observação documental com revisão bibliográfica e iconográfica, a partir da análise crítica do discurso. As articulações indicam que o humanitarismo é um relevante recurso do dispositivo moda no contexto neoliberal, que, em tempos de revisão de valores, vale-se de apelos humanitários como tática para sua própria manutenção.
The medicalisation of politics or the politicisation of pedicine: the case of italian struggles to design public healthcare institutions
Authors: Graziano Valeria , Fragnito Maddalena
Published: May 2021

In the present article, we reflect on some key aspects for the design of pub­lic health systems by retracing the history of the Italian National Health Service, or Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN), from its inception to the present days, analysing how a series of subsequent reforms and counter-reforms impacted its functions and services. Our reflection is based on a collective interview with Fulvio Aurora, Paolo Fierro and Edoardo Turri, three members of Medicina Democratica, which has been and continues to be one of the key organizations in the struggles for keeping health a public value in Italy. While our standpoint on the issue of health is geographically situated, we believe that an analysis of the Italian healthcare sector, with its success­es and its failures, can offer important points of departures for identifying some key characteristics to shape contemporary approaches to healthcare design that can be translocal and cosmopolitan in their application.

Transforming the Reading Preferences of Today’s Youth in the Digital Age: Intercultural Dialog
Authors: Shatunova Olga , Bozhkova Galina , Tarman Bulent , Shastina Elena
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the transformation of readers’ preferences and the formation of a “new reader” at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. In the study, the authors draw attention to the shift in the priority of the format of youth reading in favor of digital, to the loss of the former role of libraries as centers of non-formal education, as well as to the need to provide assistance to children and young people on the part of “teacher of literature”. An international study undertaken in Russia, the U.S., and the Czech Republic touches upon socio-cultural changes that influenced the reading process among the youth of these countries and the particular interest of the analyzed age group in the fantasy genre, which indicates a change in the reading preferences of young people and the need for understanding this process both in theoretical aspects and taking into account the results of empirical research. The authors conclude that it is advisable to determine the scale of values of a modern person by means of literary pedagogy, to bring it to a common denominator in the intercultural space. As the leading genre of revealed reader preferences, fantasy is becoming a multimedia phenomenon and is shifting the age boundaries of potential readers around the world.
Cuerpo, desnudez y silencio en La mujer desnuda de Armoní­a Somers
Authors: Ibañez Agustina
Published: May 2021

El presente artí­culo estudia el binomio cuerpo-desnudez en La mujer desnuda (1950) de la escritora uruguaya Armoní­a Somers (1914-1994). El objetivo es demostrar que en esta novela el cuerpo-femenino-desnudo se configura como un espacio desde el cual se cuestiona la relación de dominación de los hombressobre las mujeres y se quiebra la supremací­a que tanto la filosofí­a como la religión le han otorgado a la Razón, al intelecto o al espí­ritu por sobre lo somático. El recorrido de lectura trazado permitirá observar que Somers construye la corporalidad desde el silencio, resignificando ese sin-lugar que la carne ha tenido enla tradición filosófica.
El desarrollo de la escritura en situaciones de contacto lingí¼í­stico: un estudio de caso
Authors: Riveros Diegues Nicole
Published: May 2021

En contextos escolares caracterizados por la diversidad cultural, conviven representaciones sociales y usos lingí¼í­sticos diversos. Estas construcciones posibilitan la concreción de identidades con las que nos situamos en el mundo y, a través de las cuales, establecemos relaciones con los otros. En este sentido, el sistema escolar, como uno de los principales medios de socialización, debe garantizar que las habilidades comunicativas promovidas en las prácticas pedagógicas sostengan y refuercen los ví­nculos entre la lengua y la cultura, sobre todo en aulas interculturales. Por lo anterior, analizamos 31 textos narrativos de mediana extensión y en ellos pudimos evidenciar usos lingí¼í­sticos del quechua en construcciones escritas en lengua española. Sostenemos que estos grados de interferencia generan dificultades en la comprensión y producción de los discursos, por lo que sugerimos, en este estudio, estrategias didácticas que faciliten el abordaje de la composición escrita en contextos de diversidad lingüística.

Authors: Aravena Soledad , Quiroga Riva
Published: May 2021

Se aplicó una tarea de escritura narrativa a 120 estudiantes chilenos de tres niveles secundarios y dos grupos socioeconómicos. En sus textos se analizaron los adjetivos en términos de frecuencia y en cuanto a sus rasgos morfológicos (simples, derivados), sintácticos (función predicativa, modificadora y prenominales, posnominales) y semánticos (calificativos, relacionales). Los resultados muestran que el factor edad / nivel escolar es significativo para todas las medidas analizadas, mientras que el factor socioeconómico solo incide en el uso de adjetivos relacionales. Esto se interpreta en términos de su potencial para referir a las entidades de modo preciso y especializado, rasgos propios del lenguaje de la escuela. Se concluye la gran pertinencia de los adjetivos para estudiar cómo se manifiesta y evoluciona la riqueza léxica durante la adolescencia.
¿Cómo responden niños y niñas a libros acerca de la muerte? Análisis de respuestas lectoras de alumnos de kí­nder a 4° año básico al libro álbum Sapo y la canción del Mirlo
Authors: Ow González Maili , Gálvez Bárbara , Gutiérrez Francisca , Israel Alexandra
Published: May 2021

En los últimos años se han incorporado en la producción literaria infantil temas complejos y hasta hace poco vedados por el mundo adulto que selecciona lo que los niños y las niñas han de leer; temas como la muerte, la separación de los padres o la diversidad sexual, entre otros. Este estudio tiene por finalidad reportar el análisis de respuestas lectoras de escolares de kí­nder a 4° año básico al libro álbum Sapo y la Canción del Mirlo (1992). Los participantes fueron 20 estudiantes de dos establecimientos educativos de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile, a los que se les aplicó una tarea de recontado y preguntas de interpretación a partir de la obra. Desde una aproximación metodológica cualitativa, se realizó un análisis del contenido textual de las respuestas lectoras. Los resultados permiten afirmar que a mayor edad los escolares cuentan con más distinciones para referir la muerte; se detectan, al menos, dos etapas en la comprensión del fenómeno: la muerte como proceso reversible (en los más pequeños) y la muerte como suceso irreversible (en los más grandes). A su vez, la comprensión del texto está mediada por las imágenes de carácter empático y en colores cálidos, lo que contribuye a que las y los lectores refieran como tema de la obra ideas más vinculadas al amor, la familia, los amigos y menos a situaciones que rodean la muerte como la enfermedad, los accidentes
WORLD EXPERIENCE IN THE INTRODUCTION OF MODERN INNOVATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FUNCTIONING OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Popelo Olha , Dubyna Maksym , Kholiavko Nataliia
Published: May 2021

The article reveals the essence of the concept of “financial innovations” and their features. The classification of financial innovations is given. The innovative models of the Ukrainian banking business development are analysed. The innovative developments of the world’s leading banks are systematized according to the version of the annual competition for the BAI-Finance Global Banking Innovation Awards held in Las Vegas. The innovative and information technologies in the work of financial institutions in the following areas are analysed: Product and Service Financial Innovation, Channel Financial Innovation, Financial Innovation in Social and Community Impact, Financial Innovation in Internal Process Improvement. Foreign experience and features of the development of the newest innovative information technologies in the financial services market are analysed. The subject of research is theoretical and applied aspects of the development of innovations and information technologies in the functioning of world-class financial institutions. The purpose of the article is to analyse and systematize foreign experience in the development of new innovative and information technologies in the financial services market. In the research, the authors used general scientific and specific methods, including: historical-logical, dialectical, deductive, analysis and synthesis, grouping, abstraction and formalization, benchmarking, generalizations and systematization. The article concludes that in modern rapidly evolving digitalization processes, financial innovations play an extremely important role and contribute to the economic development of countries. The authors point out that banking institutions need to focus their potential as much as possible on identifying priority digital and innovative initiatives, taking into account current challenges and threats. Finally, the effective use of specific financial innovations requires in-depth knowledge of the features of their operation and careful analysis of their consequences. The authors recommend the use of a cross-functional approach, which provides flexibility and the ability to transform change over time and is an important element in the process of implementing financial innovations. Taking into account the experience of leading banking institutions that actively implement innovative developments, the authors note that along with the benefits, financial innovations can cause new challenges and threats for all participants in this process. Researchers have shown that radical innovation can displace a dominant business model or technology and create a new market. According to the results of the analysis of innovative developments of banks around the world for the period 2015-2019, the authors found that financial innovations have changed their nature and are based on the latest digital technologies.
EVALUATION OF THE REGIONAL PUBLIC AUTHORITIES’ ACTIVITIES: KEY THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Authors: Honcharenko Iryna , Honcharenko Olha
Published: May 2021

Activity of public administration is one of the most evaluated aspects involving hundreds of stakeholders across Ukraine. It is an important topic, as evaluation is one of the main ways for collection of the useful evidence for policymaking. Evaluation can be defined as the collection of evidence for formulating a judgement on the merits of an intervention, programme or policy. There is an unsolved task to provide an in-depth analysis with up-to-date information on the role of the evaluation of regional public authorities and local self-government institutions’ activities. The article shows a number of evaluation methods for the public authorities’ activities and reveals the factors that explain the current situation. The authors propose indicators that meet current trends, in particular the concept of sustainable development, within which the world community is moving. The system of balanced indicators allows to link strategic goals and key indicators that measure the degree of their achievement in the regions. The formation of a perfect evaluation system for the public authorities’ activities includes monitoring of the obtained results, their comparison with the forecast and plan under the condition of clearly defined costs in advance. This involves the use of a set of indicators, in particular: indicators that characterize economic and financial sustainability, those which assess institutional development, social transformation, environmental responsibility and energy efficiency. The influence of the public opinion makes any management process more or less public, so it is necessary to intensify the process of the public monitoring of the services provided by the public authorities, with further response or accumulation of the information for further consideration.

Authors: Zamaslo Olha , Kovalenko Viktor , Lozynska Olha
Published: May 2021

The article studies the approach to assessing the banking digitalization influenced by economy digitalization, dynamically spread electronic payments, e-commerce, and innovative digital service technologies. Digitalized banking services, widespread online platforms and digital customer communication channels require an approach to assessing the banking digitalization identifying the bank’s competitiveness, strengths and weaknesses strategically. The aim is to develop a banking digitalization indicator system and assessment methods within a complex indicator. To achieve this, the research applied generalization, grouping, systematization to form a grouped indicator system; static, dynamic, structural indicator assessment methods; normalization and integration by arithmetic mean. This approach utilizes the banking digitalization indicators systematically generalized by three groups: digital banking platform indicators; bank’s digital service indicators; indicators of digital communications with the bank’s customers. Each group provides a flexible indicator set to track the changing banking digitalization trends. Outlining the mathematical transformation of indicators into a single integrated indicator determines the use of innovative products and services and substantiates the areas of ensuring competitiveness and improving the bank’s development strategy. While assessing the banking digitalization, this approach grants the following advantages: this analytical tool monitors, analyses, and assesses the banking digitalization trends; banks will realize the strengths and weaknesses of digital tools to ensure the banking market competitiveness; competitive positioning of a bank in the banking service market; analysing, assessing, and positioning improve the bank’s development strategy, relevant technologies, and digital transformation tools. Future research should consider an approach to improving the development of the bank’s marketing strategy utilizing digital technologies.

The purpose of the article is to study the economic, social and environmental features of the use of land resources of agricultural enterprises, which is one of the determining factors of economic development and environmental safety of the state. Optimization of the use of land resources in ecological, economic and social aspects is the basis for a favourable territorial environment of natural landscapes. The goal of the article is to study the economic efficiency of the use of land resources in modern conditions, their social and environmental basis. Methodology. To write the article, methods of analysis, comparison, and generalization of research results, economic, statistical and graphic methods have been used. It is clear that research on the efficiency of the use of land resources in agricultural enterprises is a complex and lengthy process. Taking this into account, it is impossible to identify a single indicator that can fully reflect the level of efficiency in the use of land resources. For a more complete characterization of the specified process, a system of both natural and value indicators should be used. Results. According to the results of the study, it has been established that the practice of land use and the state of study of certain problems require further study of the prerequisites for the development of processes of soil degradation caused by the main factors: human economic activity, climatic, relief and ground conditions. Attention is drawn to the efficiency of the use of land resources in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine; the distribution of enterprises in Ukraine is carried out by the size of agricultural land. The role of state financing of enterprises in the sector of agro-industrial development is analysed, and the state of financing of programs to support agro-industrial production in 2019 is considered. The social aspects of land use in Ukraine are processed; they are focused on the quality of food, ensuring the welfare of the population and landscaping of rural municipalities. The program of support of the agro-industrial production sector by providing loans to agrarians has been investigated: in particular, it is planned to allocate 1,200,000,000 UAH for a programme to reduce the cost of loans to enterprises engaged in all types of agricultural activities. Practical implications. Since the practice of managing agricultural enterprises in market conditions shows that the most important thing is not the availability of land resources but the efficiency of using its potential; therefore, the need to create a reliable economic mechanism that will ensure the effective use of land resources and preserve their fertility is a priority. The breadth and versatility of land problems, their connection and dependence on socio-economic, political and environmental factors necessitate further research on this issue.

The purpose of this research is to study the functioning of small business during the period of implementation of quarantine restrictions. It was found out that more than 70% of small business entities in Ukraine and the European Union have suffered significant losses due to the measures taken. The article has identified the key issues faced by small business during the quarantine period to reduce the spread of coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). A comparison of the problems of Ukrainian and European small business has shown that they are identical. The main ones relate to reducing the financial security of small business entities and increasing their vulnerability to unpredictable situations. The authors of the research have focused on the fact that Ukrainian small agricultural enterprises experienced more negative effects in comparison with others, as the closure of food markets deprived them of the opportunity to sell their own products. The authors have also highlighted the problems that arise in the process of transition of small business to remote work. This issue can be addressed through appropriate employee training. In order to prevent the loss of ties with contractors, the authors of the research have suggested that the management staff of small business entities could develop a plan to restore ties with suppliers and customers to gradually normalize the work in pre-crisis volumes. The current Ukrainian and European regulatory framework adopted in order to overcome the negative impact of the imposed quarantine restrictions on the activities of enterprises has been analyzed. The results of the study showed the need to improve Ukrainian legislation on this issue taking into account the experience of European countries. It was found out that different countries have applied customs, credit, social, tax, information and other types of mitigation measures in order to overcome the negative effects and to support small business affected by the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In order to improve the economic situation of small business entities, the authors of the research have considered the following measures for the quarantine period and after the restrictions expire: to provide a quota for public procurement for small business; not to prohibit the functioning of markets provided that they comply with anti-epidemic sanitary norms; reimbursement of expenses incurred for the purchase of anti-epidemic means of protection; introduce additional subventions from the state to local budgets; compensation for the cost of renting premises, etc.

The purpose of the paper is to study the current problems of ecology and environmental protection, which is associated with the current sustainable trends in economic development. The growth of the world economy as a whole and the economic progress of most developed countries with market relations tends to an increasing use of natural resources and at the same time to an increasing depletion and pollution of the environment. The goal is to determine the essence, prerequisites for the emergence and development of the green economy as a modern concept of interaction between society and nature through the economy, as well as reflect the prerequisites for the activation of the green movement on a global scale in order to preserve nature and ensure the natural conditions of human habitation. The topic of the article is due to the need to disclose modern economic dynamics and rates of social progress and their impact on the environment. In this regard, the essence of the green economy, directions and principles of its implementation for the restoration and strengthening of natural potential are considered. Methodology. A correct assessment and analysis of the dynamics and trends in the development of the world economy in terms of increasing economic potential and increasing the production of economic benefits to ensure the welfare of society allows us to assess the level of impact on nature and the environment. Without the results of these assessments and calculations, significant errors appear in the choice of state priorities for socio-economic policy and in making optimal decisions in the field of production. The study is based on an assessment of the interaction between the world economy and the environment in modern conditions. Results. The questions of modern economic trends in nature and environment are studied. The need for the implementation of the green economy in modern conditions has been determined. The necessity to preserve nature and reduce environmental pollution is becoming more and more urgent. Practical implications. The state of the natural environment and the possibilities of preserving and improving the environment are being studied. An adequate assessment of the state of nature and natural resources will allow the world community to pursue a balanced and effective socio-economic and environmental policy for the harmony of society and nature where it lives. Value/originality. It has been determined that nature is the basis of social life, and at the same time, its preservation is the main goal of social progress. The economy is just the means by which nature creates welfare for society. Nature can exist without humanity, but humanity cannot exist without nature. Therefore, the preservation and strengthening of the environment are more than relevant. To this end, a green economy policy is being implemented in the modern world.

The relationship between economic development and energy in Nigeria is examined in this work. An econometric model is developed to ccount for the factors affecting economic growth and development in the country. The results show that the variables have long memory and all except electricity consumption are non-mean reverting.  The series are heterogeneous with respect to the order of integration. Using OLS regressions with fractionally integrated errors, we found that electricity consumption, oil prices, electricity prices, real interest rate and employment affect GDP per capita with only real interest rate having a negative relationship. Policy recommendations are proposed in the article.
