Law Enforcement Officials’ Opinion on the Security Situation and Cooperation on the Danube
Authors: Kalmár Ádám
Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to analyse the bilateral and multilateral law enforcement cooperation between the Danube Member States and the relevant international stakeholders. A key issue for the security of the European Union and the Schengen area is the joint strengthening of the security of the Danube river. In the most important transnational maritime areas (Black Sea, Baltic Sea), there is a regulation based on the operation of a common centre for law enforcement coordination, which allows a rapid and efficient exchange of information between the Member States in order to combat organised crime. The Danube is one of Europe’s most important waterways, but the absence of a multilateral international agreement on the cooperation and coordination signed by all the Member States to ensure continuous cooperation and exchange of information is believed to have a negative impact on border security. The research was carried out by an online questionnaire survey among 201 persons in staff from the participating organisations of 10 Danube Member States during the DARIF joint operation, which was conducted from 12–16 September 2022 and extended until 30 September 2022. The questionnaire was prepared in Hungarian, English, and in German, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian languages, to encourage respondents to participate in the survey. The questionnaire survey among the Danube law enforcement agencies confirmed that the lack of a permanent Law Enforcement Coordination Centre and Cooperation Forum is a significant security deficit in the countries of the Danube Region. The creation of a network of national contact points specialising in international information exchange on the Danube is necessary; it is not sufficient to make better use of the existing network of direct information exchange channels (e.g. Police and Customs Cooperation Centres).
A Renewed Schengen Evaluation Mechanism in the Light of the Schengen Reforms
Authors: Zsákai Lénárd
Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the reasons, background and possible impacts of the international intention to reform the functioning of the Schengen area and to introduce a renewed Schengen evaluation and monitoring mechanism turned on by adopting a new Council regulation. In this article, the author examines the report from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on the functioning of the mechanism. The complex report presents comprehensive and detailed results of the first multi-annual evaluation programme, prepared and published by the European Commission in 2021, taking into account the feedback of Member States and relevant cooperating agencies and EU bodies. The study also examined two important elements of the Schengen renewal process, the EU strategy towards a fully functioning and resilient Schengen area and the preceding points of the new Scheval Regulation, which entered into force on 1 October 2021. The research concludes that recurring national shortcomings and divergent practices between Member States are likely to result from inconsistent implementation of the Schengen rules, which may have an impact on the overall functioning of the Schengen area as a whole. In addition to many other demands for change in the Schengen area, the states and EU institutions concerned have decided that the Schengen evaluation and monitoring mechanism needs to be renewed and undergo significant changes for the future. From a scientific point of view, the author concluded that in the field of law enforcement sciences, and especially in border management research, the renewal of the Schengen evaluation mechanism should be followed closely, as it is synergistic with several other related research issues (e.g. border management, border management education, etc.). With thorough research in this field, scientific works and scientific representation, the Hungarian law enforcement science is expected to be strengthened in the international scientific dimension.

Background: Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are subject to moral hazards during work, leading them to find moral distress (MD). Our literature review showed a gap in knowledge related to MD in EMS personnel. Therefore, this study investigated MD and its influential factors in pre-hospital emergency technicians. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted in Iran in 2017. A convenience sampling method was used to select 265 technicians working in EMS from several cities in Iran. The MD thermometer was used to measure the MD in the technicians. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 20. Results: All the participants were male with mean age and work experience of 31.64±6.5 and 7.76±5.1 years, respectively. The mean score of MD was 4.6±1.8 (out of 10). Nearly 76% of the participants were with moderate levels of MD. A significant relationship was observed between the willingness of technicians to change or leave their job and the mean scores of MD in the participants. Conclusion: EMS technicians experienced moderate levels of MD. Therefore, healthcare planners and policymakers need to pay more attention to this issue due to the complications of MD in healthcare personnel.

The Dental Oncology Complication that Wouldn’t go Away

Published: August 2023

Background: Bone modifying agents are used throughout cancer care and their utilisation can optimise advanced stage cancer cases with bone metastases, by reducing skeletal-related events, treatment-induced bone loss and treatment hypercalcaemia. They are also used in patients with a curative intent such as early breast cancer, reducing recurrence and increasing survival rates. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potential complication following bone modifying agents (BMAs). It represents exposed bone in the maxillofacial region which significantly compromises the quality of life for these patients. Dental disease is the most common initiating factor of MRONJ. We report a case in which MRONJ has dominated cancer care despite its successful treatment.
Case presentation: A 69-year-old female was diagnosed with a breast cancer (grade 1, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, pT1c pN1mi(sc) Mx), for which she was treated with a wide local excision and axillary lymph-node clearance. Seven years after initial presentation, the patient presented with metastatic disease involving the left supraclavicular fossa, bone, peritoneum, and liver. Her BMA regime included zoledronic acid intravenous (IV) every month for 12 months and switched to oral zoledronic acid for a subsequent year due to poor venous access.
Two years after her diagnosis of metastatic disease, the patient presented with exposed bone in her anterior maxilla, which represented advanced stage MRONJ (AAOMS 3). The exposed bone in the maxilla was treated surgically by sequestrectomy and fistula closure. Three years later (12 years after initial breast cancer diagnosis), the patient was re-admitted with a cervical fascial space infection involving the right mandible. The patient developed another site of advanced- stage MRONJ (AAOMS 3) in the right mandible associated with an orocutaneous fistula. The patient had a marginal resection of her mandible, fistula closure and extraction of the remaining teeth under general anesthetic.
Conclusion: The practicing oncologist needs to be cognisant of the possibility of MRONJ in both the curative and palliative setting. Traditionally, oncology care has required a significant degree of self-reliance on patients to navigate dental treatment pathways. Integration of dental clinics into oncology pathways would help eliminate this need for self-reliance. MRONJ is an inevitable risk for a large cohort of oncology patients and active engagement of dental-oncology specialities will ensure optimal care for patients.

Published: August 2023

The financial stability of households is an important component among other conditions for maintaining the stability of the entire financial system in general and the public finance system in particular. Adoption/implementation of erroneous, ill-considered decisions by households regarding the formation and use of funds in conditions of instability of the economic environment can with a high probability significantly worsen their financial condition. Therefore, researching trends in the financial behavior of households to avoid/neutralize the risks of disrupting their financial well-being (financial stability) and realizing the tasks of preserving public welfare in today’s complex crisis conditions is an urgent issue. The article evaluates the main modern aspects of the manifestation of financial behavior of households in the regions of Ukraine in the context of the impact on their financial stability and outlines directions for its regulation. As a result of the conducted research, it is taken into account that in conditions of instability, the movement of capital slows down, cash flows decrease, so households are limited in making many financial decisions. High risks of loss of sources of permanent income, real estate and property additionally change the financial behavior of households, transferring it to the plane of physical survival – minimal current consumption. Therefore, the range of determination/acceptance of possible financial decisions by households and their implementation in war conditions is significantly narrowed, and in the regions of Ukraine near the front zone, it practically freezes. Significant migration flows of the internally displaced population to regions of Ukraine that are less affected by the war require significant additional budget funds for social assistance to households. The «six whales» that form the basis of the financial behavior of households (and on which their financial activity/passivity is based) and ultimately contribute to the improvement/deterioration of the financial condition and the strengthening/undermining of stability are identified: financial literacy, information, motivation, financial resources, economic and institutional environment, objects (subjects) of investment/consumption. It is emphasized that important conditions for maintaining the financial stability of households are the state of their monetary income, the amount of expenses and, after neutralizing the effects of negative factors, the actual development of financial and other markets, balanced financial decisions based on knowledge and reliable information, and the financial policy of the state aimed at adequate realities of regulation of financial relations.

Published: August 2023

The article examines the formation and development of innovative models of enterprise financing. Small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe have been seriously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many businesses went bankrupt, and many business owners did not have enough funds to resume operations after the pandemic ended. Traditional loans have become inaccessible to many businesses due to a lack of credit history or collateral. Therefore, the business is looking for opportunities to attract funds from sources of innovative alternative financing. The purpose of this article is to reveal the essence of innovative financing and define its principles; analysis of the functioning of the European innovative financing market and assessment of its prospects. The theoretical foundations and principles of creating a favorable environment and appropriate regulatory framework for alternative financing of enterprises are disclosed. The main characteristic features of the European market of alternative financing are analyzed. It has been established that in recent years in European countries, alternative lending has grown significantly, many new platforms have appeared on the market. The peculiarities of the development and operation of the largest European online platforms are analyzed. European countries differ significantly in their financial landscape and cultural customs. Thus, in some countries traditional models of lending through banking institutions dominate, while in other markets digital loans prevail. At the beginning of 2022, there were 315 alternative financial platforms in Europe, with the largest number of alternative financial platforms operating in Great Britain, Spain, France, Estonia and Germany. Only 4 local and 6 foreign platforms operate in Latvia, 11 platforms in Lithuania. Attention is focused on the functioning of the innovative financing market of the Baltic countries. It has been established that at present, innovative lending has not yet become a strong competitor of traditional bank lending in the EU. The impact of the war in Ukraine on innovative financing and the prospects for its development is determined.

The article discusses the essence and modern features of personnel management, especially in institutions of the service sector. It was determined that employee management methods differ depending on the country of their application. It is well-founded that the most difficult tasks at the enterprise are those related to employee management. Strong personnel potential is the key to the successful operation of any business entity. Groups of personnel management methods and their role in the effectiveness of personnel policy are characterized. Employee management methods differ depending on the country of residence of the business entity in which they are applied. Domestic practice appears to be a mixed model of American and Japanese approaches, but with its flavor of indifference to the organization of work with employees. It was determined that the methods and forms of personnel management can be combined into several general groups, including economic and mathematical models, economic levers, motivation and encouragement. The advantages of applying the economic method of personnel management are determined, in particular, its high level of flexibility. The basis of the economic method of personnel management is the tool of economic influence on the personnel of the business entity. Features of management relations in the field of restaurant services are characterized. It was determined that the use of an organizational and management approach to management is effective in the management of a restaurant enterprise. The market economy is determined by various motivational mechanisms of labor activity, since it is impossible to develop a single motivational approach to people who work at enterprises of different forms of ownership and management methods. Such a mechanism of stimulation can be called effective if it takes into account all the specifics of the activity of an individual enterprise and has in its arsenal the most acceptable method of stimulation for this enterprise and ensures the implementation of staff motivation. The need to use non-material incentives at the enterprise as the basis of personnel management incentive mechanisms is due to the ratio of material and non-material methods of stimulation.
FEATURES OF PROJECT FINANCING FOR HOTEL AND RESTAURANT BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN THE CONDITIONS OF EUROINTEGRATION

Published: August 2023

The article examines project financing as a separate type of activity of credit institutions involved in the organization of financing hotel investment projects. The systematization of the world experience in the development of project financing made it possible to highlight the fundamental principles of project financing in relation to the hotel business. The principle of increased risk. Any project, the financing of which is carried out based on future cash flows, involves the distribution of risks among the maximum number of participants. The principle of adequate debt coverage. Compliance with this principle by the capital provider is based on the debt coverage ratio, which is determined by the ratio of expected revenues from project implementation to the total amount of debt. The principle of market viability of the project. The market principle requires a credit institution to conduct a detailed analysis of the market situation when concluding a credit agreement. Such market analysis is carried out in order to determine the dynamics of prices and demand for the period of operation of the hotel. The principle of limited liability of the client. According to it, the repayment of the debt occurs from the income from the implementation of the project, and the responsibility of the project initiator is determined by its own contribution. The principle of investment guarantee. A guarantee in project financing means an unconditional obligation to transfer the specified funds to the capital provider (usually a bank) in the event of a guarantee event. The purpose of this type of guarantee is to insure the debt obligations of the hotel project throughout its life cycle. The principle of debt repayment. This principle means that project financing will require unconditional repayment of funds according to the schedule. The principle of high financial leverage. This principle of project financing is based on maintaining a high ratio between own and borrowed funds. Such a scheme allows obtaining a number of advantages in the form of tax benefits, ensures the most effective use of credit instruments at each stage and contributes to the increase in the value of shares of project participants as a result of the completion of each sub-project and the commissioning of new hotels.

The article examines the problems of forming a new center of regional economic power headed by India. At the same time, the prerequisites, regularities and possible results of its formation are shown along with the selection of zones of economic interests of India. It is shown that the fundamental in this context is the further development of the entrepreneurial activity of Indian transnational corporations, which have already undergone the process of initial incorporation into global economic networks, are characterized by relative stability, have good indicators of credit and financial stability and significant amounts of capitalization. It was thanks to the active internationalization of Indian business that the ambitious project "North-South" became possible for implementation, which enables India to claim regional leadership. The further directions of the development of this project are defined and the possible scenarios of the transformation of India into a global leader are shown, provided that a number of internal contradictions in internal development are eliminated and the structure of the country's economic complex is adjusted. It was determined that the state-corporate partnership in India in recent years has become a key to successful internationalization of activities and under the conditions of strengthening the social responsibility of local business can become a catalyst for successful reform of the country's domestic economic complex. It was noted that Indian TNCs work mainly in high-tech sectors of the economy and form appropriate enclaves of innovative leadership, which makes it possible to help regions characterized by weak development, both inside the country and abroad. And the active offshoring business in the countries of Africa and Asia makes it possible to intensify business and export activity. Thus, a conclusion was made about the key role that Indian TNCs play in promoting the country's regional leadership and its inclusion in global communication, technological, banking, financial and credit, entrepreneurial networks. It has been established. That in recent years, India has become not just a regional leader, but quite successfully resists the Chinese project and actively advocates for a polar world, where the Indian project will have a number of advantages.

Published: August 2023

The article examines the main problems that exist in the agricultural sector of Ukraine and that have deepened as a result of military events. The urgent problem of agricultural production in the world is the increase in the level of plowed land. At the same time, Ukraine has the highest percentage in Europe. Intensive involvement of land in production, lack of proper control over the use of land leads to the loss of the fertile layer. This leads to soil degradation. The full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation has greatly deepened this problem. Considerable areas of land located in the occupied territories were removed from agricultural turnover. In de-occupied territories, freed land cannot be used for agricultural activities, because they are polluted by the products of combustion of petroleum products, fragments of destroyed military equipment, large areas are mined. To return agricultural land to production, it is necessary to carry out a number of remedial measures aimed at improving the condition of the soil. The business faces the task of organizing such works, and the state faces the task of finding funding sources. The accounting service of the enterprise is designed to timely and correctly reflect the costs associated with the implementation of restorative soil protection works and provide information in financial statements. At the same time, a number of accounting tasks should be solved, in particular, determine the nature of the work and the sources of their financing. The question of the impact of costs on the production cost of agricultural products is relevant. In order to correctly reflect the costs incurred, it is necessary to apply new approaches to cost accounting and forming the cost of production. There was a need to return to accounting practice the separate accounting of losses of the enterprise from the impact of extraordinary events. The company's financial reporting needs attention, which should reveal information about the company's expenses for overcoming the consequences of the war.

In the innovation economy, organizations seek to integrate digital technologies into all aspects of business, with a digital transformation strategy that encompasses digitization, modernization and change management being key. In today's world, where technologies are rapidly developing, digitalization is one of the key success factors and is the process of implementing and using digital technologies to automate, optimize, and improve business processes. The relevance of the mentioned topic made it necessary to consider the practical possibilities of implementing digitization in the business model, which will allow creating new innovative management models to achieve business success. The article presents the results of research on the importance of using digital transformation to integrate technological tools into international business practice. Recommendations have been developed for implementing business models and providing them with new opportunities in order to generate profit and create additional value in the conditions of globalization and technical progress. It has been proven that a multinational firm, which only unites a set of national enterprises under a global company, has become an anachronism. Instead, large multinational corporations are creating globally integrated organizations that can locate their functions anywhere in the world to take advantage of low costs, the availability of skills or access to local natural resources in the context of digitizing process management. The advantages and challenges of digital transformation are indicated and analyzed, key factors and methods of organization that can ensure successful digitalization of business processes are determined. A study of the possibilities of implementing digitization was conducted using the examples of modern international companies. State-of-the-art digitization services for analysis and optimization of the enterprise's work have been identified. Recommendations for the implementation of digitalization in business processes have been developed, which can be implemented in both international and domestic business. For the implementation of digitalization, it is proposed to define a set of priority tools for the restoration of economic growth, based on the paradigms of the digital economy, taking into account international experience and domestic specifics, which can act as a powerful multiplier of the company's resources.

Published: August 2023

The effect of physical and chemical properties on the performance of both positive and negative electrodes is studied for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. These properties include the lithium diffusivity in the active electrode material, the electrical conductivity of the electrode, and the reaction rate constant at electrode active sites. The specific energy and power of the cells are determined at various discharge rates for electrodes with different properties. In addition, this study is conducted across various cell design cases. The results reveal that at moderate discharge rates, lithium diffusivity in the active negative-electrode material has the highest impact on cell performance. The specific energy and power of the cell are improved ~11% by increasing the lithium diffusivity in the active negative-electrode material by one order of magnitude. Around 4% improvement in the cell performance is achieved by increasing the reaction rate constant at the active sites of either electrodes by one order of magnitude.
Performance characterization of an indoor air source heat pump water heater for residential applications in Canada
Authors: Amirirad Afarin , Kumar Rakesh , Fung Alan
Published: August 2023

Air source heat pump water heater (ASHPWH) is a relatively new addition to delivering hot water at reasonably high efficiency. ASHPWH systems have achieved significant acceptance for mild to warm climate regions where space heating is minimal or none. However, limited performance mapping is available on these water heaters in extreme cold climatic conditions, such as Canada. The paper has examined the long-term performance of this technology in Canadian context. The investigation has established the performance characteristics of ASHPWH unit through a series of pre-defined indoor tests and theoretical simulations. The coefficient of performance and other critical parameters of ASHPWH were established and discussed in detail. A model was developed, validated, and used to show the impact of such type of water heater on the overall energy consumption in the house. The results indicate that the summer cooling decreases and the winter heating increases in the house with an indoor ASHPWH unit. Nevertheless, the net effect leads to 21.3% reduction in the total electricity consumption of the house (space heating, cooling, and water heating). Research provided an accurate performance prediction of ASHPWHs for year-round applications in Canadian homes.

Due to the harmful effects of synthetic refrigerants, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)n the environment, natural refrigerants like carbon dioxide (CO2) have been attracting great interest. The higher inter-stage superheating of CO2 makes it difficult to predict the effects of the intercooling on heating performance of a two-stage transcritical CO2 cycle. In addition, very little is known about the potential of inter-stage heat rejection recovery in the heating performance enhancement of this cycle. In order to explore the effects of intercooling and inter-stage heat rejection recovery potential, three “sub-cycles”—(1) a sub-cycle with heat recovery, (2) a sub-cycle without heat recovery, and (3) a sub-cycle without intercooling—were modeled in Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software for three commonly-used two-stage transcritical cycles: (1) an intercooler cycle, (2) a flash cycle, and (3) a split cycle. Then, the discharge pressure and intermediate pressure were simultaneously optimized. Based on the optimization results, the heating performance of the sub-cycles for each cycle were compared. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of intercooling without heat recovery was detrimental to the heating performance in comparison to the absence of intercooling. It is also clear that there is a great potential for heating performance improvement through inter-stage heat recovery.

The distinctive features of estuary irrigation, the current state and characteristics of estuary irrigation systems in the agricultural zones of Yakutia are given. On the example of typical estuary irrigation systems located in the Lena–Aldan and Leno–Vilyui interfluves, the regime of estuary irrigation in a changing climate is considered. It has been established that in the areas of estuary irrigation of Yakutia over the past 50 years, there has been an increase in the average annual temperature of atmospheric air from 1.5 to 3 ℃, which led to an increase in the sum of temperatures of the growing season over the past 8 years by 160 ℃ in the Lena–Aldan and Lena–Vilyui interfluves and date of commencement of irrigation of estuary meadows for earlier dates up to 5 days. An analysis of the amount of precipitation during the growing season shows a decrease in the amount of precipitation over the past 8 years from 90 mm to 80 mm in the Khorobutskaya FIS, located in the Lena–Aldan interfluve, and an increase from 96 mm to 120 mm on average in the Orosun–Negodyakh FIS, located in Leno - Vilyui interfluve. The yield for 2014-2021 in the Orosun-Negodyakh FIS increased comparatively by an average of 2 centners per hectare, while in the Khorobutskaya FIS, on the contrary, it decreased by an average of 3 centners per hectare. Studies on reclamation systems show the closest dependence of productivity on the sum of atmospheric temperatures and precipitation in the Orosun-Negodyakhskaya FIS, in the Khorobutskaya FIS on the total precipitation. In general, the conducted studies show the impact of climate change on the irrigation regime of estuary irrigation systems located in various agricultural zones of Yakutia and the need for their revision.
