Accounting and analytical support of business processes in the conditions of the digital economy
Authors: Ionin Yevhen
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Accounting as a powerful information system must take into account the requirements of modernity and, first of all, the rapid development of IT technologies, which significantly increases not only the efficiency of accounting work, but fundamentally expands the functional capabilities of accounting and analytical support for all participants in market relations. The digital economy involves the maximum automation of business processes, their analysis for the level of digitalization, which makes it possible to determine the real need of a business entity to configure specific processes for the use of an electronic format. The use of digital technologies makes it possible to conduct real-time analysis of business processes, data visualization and objectively justify possible management decisions of a current and strategic nature aimed at ensuring continuous and effective activity.
Purpose. Consists in researching the possibility of using management accounting data for multifactorial analysis of financial results, costs per UAH 1. production, profitability and justification of management decisions for operational planning, cash flow budgeting, internal audit by monitoring deviations based on digital technologies.
Method (methodology). To achieve the goal, general scientific, statistical methods and approaches, analytical procedures and tools were used, including horizontal and vertical analysis, multifactorial analysis based on end-to-end integration of management accounting data.
The results. The possibility of using a limited volume of management accounting data for a wide range of not only analytical research, but also financial planning (revenue, expenses, financial result), internal audit (control for deviations), crediting (cash flow movement), taxation (incentive increase in the physical volume of production). It is proposed to introduce into the current analytical practice the ratio of profit monetization as an indicator of "confidence" in profit, its balance with cash flows to ensure not only current solvency, but also prospective financial stability.
Consequences of the transition to remote work: attitudes of managers and employees
Authors: Prokhorenko Olena , Brin Pavlo , Kovshyk Valentin
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Changes in the forms and methods of labor organization, caused primarily by the development of information and communication technologies (ICT), have led to a significant increase in the possibilities of information transfer and even management of operations. Under these conditions, businesses receive a number of advantages. The COVID 19 pandemic and the war on the territory of Ukraine became an additional catalyst for the development of remote technologies with their introduction into various areas and spheres of activity: execution of operations, provision of services, trade, and learning. However, the forced transition to remote work also leads to negative consequences, quite often associated with the unpreparedness of employees and managers for this form of relations.
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to study changes in the working conditions aftereffects as a result of the introduction of remote work from the point of view of the owners (managers or employers) and from the point of view of the employees or executors, as well as to highlight the main differences between these positions.
Method. The empirical methods (observation and measurement), as well as empirical-theoretical methods: analysis and synthesis, induction and generalization were used during the research.
Results. The measure of changes due to the transition to remote work D can be calculated as the average value of the influence of the following factors: economic feasibility Xe, professional comfort Xp, and personal comfort Xh. The value of each of the Xi factors, in turn, can be determined as a relative deviation of the assessment of the respondent's perception of remote work from the assessment of the traditional organization of the working process. According to the surveys conducted among employees and owners or managers of enterprises or structural divisions, a significant difference in the perception of the transition to remote was shown. From the employees' point of view, the remote work increases economic feasibility and professional comfort, but at the same time, the degree of personal comfort decreases. From the point of view of managers, the negative impact is observed on all three factors, which leads to decreasing in the organization's (unit's) performance.
The positive effect of the transition to the remote mode of work is mostly noted by young people, employees of intellectual work and education, who engaged in work with information, calculations and customer service. Remote work increases the personal productivity of employees, but the effectiveness of the entire organization decreases.
Study of the product structure of Ukraine's exports in the conditions of globalization
Authors: Puzrakov Anatoliy
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The urgency of studying the product structure of Ukraine's exports in the face of global challenges is determined by the need to bring its export portfolio into compliance with the requirements of the European Union markets. In order to meet the requirements and standards of the EU during global transformations, Ukraine should adhere to strategic tasks, among which the development of the economy, attracting investments and increasing the export potential are of primary importance.
Purpose. Studying the commodity structure of Ukraine's exports, its components and principles of formation, as well as finding ways to improve Ukraine's competitiveness in the context of globalization is the main goal of this study.
Method (methodology). The methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, substantiation, statistical analysis, abstract-logical, graphical and tabular analysis were used in the process of work.
Results. Modern concepts of the transformation of the commodity structure of countries' exports and the experience of their implementation have been studied and analyzed. It was found that the concept of "commodity structure of export" is connected with the concepts of "export potential", "trade balance", "competitiveness" and "economic complexity", the last of which means a high variety and differentiation of production, which is reflected in a wide range and high the quality of manufactured goods.
The commodity structure of Ukraine's exports was analyzed, where the main groups of goods are agricultural products, machinery and equipment, chemical industry, metallurgy and metal products, energy products and IT services. 4 main ways of transforming Ukraine's export portfolio in order to increase its competitiveness are proposed: diversification of the export portfolio, improvement of product quality and competitiveness, development of new export directions in the EU markets, and introduction of environmental standards. It is also necessary to implement economic reforms, stimulate the investment climate, support entrepreneurship and innovation, which are important components of strategic plans for exports.
Evaluation of magnetic anisotropy in oriented plate-shaped strontium ferrite particles
Authors: Kubota Hirohisa , Kishimoto Mikio , Yanagihara Hideto
Published: July 2023

Plate-shaped hexagonal SrFe12O19 particles, synthesized using potassium bromide as the molten salt flux, were dispersed in the resin using a planetary ball mill. Oriented sheets were prepared by coating the dispersion onto the films under a magnetic field. The coercive force and squareness ratio of the oriented sheets were 412 kA m−1 and 0.91, respectively. The magnetic anisotropy field was determined by measuring the rotational hysteresis losses of the oriented sheets with a magnetic torque meter. The anisotropy field was distributed in the range of approximately 200–1100 kA m−1, and particles with an anisotropy field of 478 kA m−1 comprised the majority. The magnetic anisotropy energy estimated from the magnetic anisotropy field was 104 KJ m−3. Assuming a reduction in the crystalline anisotropy field along the c-axis due to simply the shape anisotropy field resulting from the platelet shape of the particles, particles occupying the majority exhibited a maximum anisotropy field of 823 kA m−1.
Tipificación de la afiliación lingüística. Un estudio de las formas nominales del tratamiento de la comunidad de habla LGTBI
Authors: Navarro Carrascosa Carles
Published: July 2023

En este trabajo se aborda el estudio de la afiliación lingüística a partir del análisis de un corpus de muestras de habla reales de la comunidad de habla LGTBI. El corpus, compuesto por cinco conversaciones coloquiales y 20 entrevistas semidirigidas, registradas en las ciudades españolas de Madrid, Barcelona y Valencia durante los años 2018 y 2019, es de elaboración propia y todos sus informantes son miembros de la comunidad de habla LGTBI. Desde el estudio del comportamiento de las formas nominales de tratamiento características del argot de esta subcultura, se analizarán las distintas formas de generar enunciados afiliativos, la manera en la que actúan, la dirección de la afiliación y, a partir de estos elementos, se propondrán tipos de afiliación. Tras la investigación, se ha determinado que la afiliación puede generarse de tres maneras distintas: un acto de habla mediante el cual el hablante pretende incluirse a sí mismo dentro de un grupo o comunidad; la segunda forma se llevará a cabo a través de un enunciado cuya finalidad es integrar al receptor en el grupo al que pertenece el interlocutor; y, en tercer lugar, se formula un acto de habla con el que los interlocutores pretenden reforzar una pertenencia mutua a una comunidad y afianzarla a través de recursos que confirman dicha pertenencia mutua (son ambos los que se integran el uno al otro, a través de recursos lingüísticos particulares). A través de este análisis y de las conclusiones extraídas, se pretende ampliar los estudios científicos sobre la afiliación lingüística y ofrecer una nueva perspectiva de análisis de este fenómeno a partir de la tipificación que aquí se propone. Este estudio puede ser precedente para futuras investigaciones sobre la camaradería lingüística, no solo dentro de la comunidad de habla LGTBI, sino en el argot de otras subculturas o, incluso, en el habla general. 1

Published: July 2023

Background: The relationship between metformin intake and prostate cancer incidence remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the correlation between prostate cancer and metformin use.Methods: The subjects were diabetes patients aged ≥50 years who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had undergone surgery at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital. Groups taking metformin (MET(+) group) and not taking metformin (MET(–) group) were divided and compared.Results: The mean preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in the MET(–) and MET(+) groups were 10.7±11.9 and 8.0±5.6 ng/mL, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.387). The average prostate volume of the MET(–) group was 82.4±98.0 mL, and the average prostate volume of the MET(+) group was 55.4±20.1 mL, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.226). The mean PSA velocity also did not show a significant difference between the two groups (0.025±0.102 ng/mL vs. 0.005±0.012 ng/mL, P=0.221).Conclusions: We did not identify a significant positive correlation between metformin and prostate cancer. However, preoperational PSA and PSA velocity tended to be lower in the MET(+) group. A sophisticated prospective study with a large sample size should be planned.

Vietnam's tourism industry has been one of the economy's key growth drivers for years. This study examines the relationship between international tourist arrivals, bilateral trade, and income in Vietnam by applying a cointegration model with the panel data of Vietnam and its major global tourism markets. The results show that export and per capita income significantly influence Vietnam's international tourist arrivals from 2008 to 2019. The study also uses causality techniques to test for the direction of causality and found a two-way causal effect from exports and income to international tourist arrivals. These findings suggest that future economic policy should focus more on tourism and trade-related to sustain the growth of the tourism industry and generate more foreign exchange earnings for Vietnam.

A STUDY ON DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES, MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME OF ANORECTAL MALFORMATIONS
Authors: Garg Chinky , Singh Pritanshi
Published: July 2023

AIM & OBJECTIVES - Anorectal malformation (ARM) is a common congenital condition that has a
signicant impact on the quality of life for children. It is more frequently observed in females. The primary
posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) procedure has shown excellent outcomes, particularly for males with intermediate
and high ARM, as well as females with vestibular stula. The objective of the study was to identify the specic type of ARM and
associated anomalies in female patients. This observational study was carried out at the Depart METHODS- ment of Surgery,
Index Medical College and Hospital, involving patients with ARM between November 2019 and October 2021. The initial
procedure involved performing colostomy, followed by PSARP/ anterior sagittal anorectoplasty technique (ASARP) as a
second-stage procedure, and subsequently closing the colostomy. Patients were typically discharged between the 4th and 6th
postoperative days and followed up with regular anal dilatation and assessments every six months. RESULTS- The present
study ndings indicate that the most common defect observed in females with ARM is the rectovestibular stula. Evaluation of
surgical outcomes can be performed following the completion of the nal procedure, namely colostomy closure. Among the
patients assessed, approximately 83.3% demonstrated favorable post-operative outcomes. Females CONCLUSION- have a
higher incidence of intermediate ARM compared to other varieties. Low anomalies generally exhibit more favorable outcomes
following surgery than other types. The utilization of the PSARP approach in treating patients with these conditions provides a
more precise correction of the lesion.

Authors: Batra Neha , Hatwal Deepa , Umar Sana , Petwal Snigdha
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Study of blood groups, mainly ABO and Rh systems has been given high priority because
of their medical importance. ABO antigen type has been proved as a risk factor for obesity,
cardiovascular diseases , cancers , and infectious diseases. Body mass index (BMI), a measure of excess body weight, is useful
for assessing aspects of health in children and adults within a population. Aim: The study aims to nd out the association if any
between blood groups and body mass index. Material & Methods: The data collection was done considering gender, age,
blood groups (ABO and Rh), height and weight of each participant with their consent. The participants were donors of age
between 18 to 50 years Weight of the participants was measured in the upright position to the nearest 0.5 kg using a weight
measuring scale. Height was measured without shoes to the nearest 0.1 cm with a meter. Blood samples were collected for ABO
blood group analysis and grouping was done by gel card method Result: Blood type O was the prevalent ABO blood group in
our study Our study did not observe any signicant association between ABO blood group and BMI. Our observation agrees
with ndings from large cross-sectional studies by Jafari et al. among different ethnicities in Pakistan which showed absence of
any signicant association between ABO and BMI Conclusion The prevalence of overweight, obesity, blood type O, and Rhesus
positive observed among donors in this study is largely similar to what has been generally reported in literature. However,
overweight and obesity were not associated with ABO blood groups this nding is contrary to the view of some reports

Background and Objective: Considering large number of studies available for use of DTI in intracranial tumors showing their relationship with WM bres, we studied the role of preoperative and post op DTI in ST-IA brain tumors in eloquent areas in prognosticating the patient and predicting neurological outcome. Total 54 Methods: cases of ST-IA tumours in eloquent areas were included in study. Detailed neurological examination and DTI was done before surgery and FA values were noted. Surgical plan was decided by senior consultants of Neurosurgery department with ndings of DTI and MRI, in consideration. Neurologic examination with repeat DTI was done postoperatively and Correlation in change of FA values with neurological status was evaluated. In total 54 patients, 36 had displaced Results: bres with FA value ranged from 0.378 to 0.515, mean of 0.462 and 18 had inltrated/disrupted fascicles with FA value ranged from 0.161 to 0.368, mean of 0.253 in preoperative DTI. At follow up 28 patients with displaced bres improved clinically and in repeat DTI 93% of patients showed rise in FA values ranged from 0.416 to 0.683 with mean 0.539 which was statistically signicant.In18 patients with inltrated/disrupted bres 13 had no clinical improvement at follow up with fall in FA values in 84% patients with FA values ranged from 0.153 to 0.382 and mean of 0.235, which was also statistically signicant. DTI (pre and Conclusions: postoperative) in ST-IA brain tumours in Eloquent Areas helps in predicting neurological outcome after surgery as well as an important prognostication indicator.

Presenteeism arises when staff members are at work, but their mental strength is not dedicated to the assigned task(s). This paper examined presenteeism and staff productivity in GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria PLC (GSK). The study adopted descriptive survey research method and. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 219 respondents for data collection. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient statistical tool. The result obtained indicate a significant relationship between demographic characteristics linked to employee’s presenteeism and staff productivity at the GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria PLC (GSK) with correlation value of 0.820. Also, the Pearson correlation coefficient between health problems and productivity loss was 0.819 indicating that there was a significant relationship in the nature of health problems as the source of presenteeism and productivity loss in work organisations. Therefore, the study submits that certain health conditions predispose toward presenteeism led to absenteeism. Similarly, the study concluded that manufacturing firms should identify the causes of employees’ presenteeism in order to enhance organisational productivity while irrelevant excuses should be discouraged. Equally, the study recommended that organizations should provide conducive environment towards enhancing the workers’ health and welfare for increased productivity.

This study investigated the effects of word-of-mouth on brand equity. The major clients of Clinix healthcare were the population having them picked from the headquarters and branches in Lagos, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used for the study with a convenience sampling technique with a total sample size of 250 respondents. A structured questionnaire was distributed to respondents having established the instrument’s reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.733. Construct validity and content validity were established through expert opinion. A regression technique was used in analyzing the data in order to reveal the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables with aid of statistical tools using SPSS version 20. The study found that word of mouth was proven to have a significant effect on brand image, brand loyalty, and brand preference. Also, according to the result of the analysis, Clinix healthcare has a strong brand image making consumers more likely to patronize and recommend the brand always. Also, Word of mouth had positive and significant effects on brand image and brand preference, with no significant effect on brand leadership (R2=0.140). This indicates that word of mouth significantly invokes brand loyalty, brand image building, and the desirability of consumers. It is recommended that Healthcare and other health service organizations should build on customers ‘preferences to optimize performance and attract organizational goodwill. The study suggested that further studies can examine the influence of word–of–mouth on organizational performance

The future multi-terminal direct-current (MTDC) grid will require the interconnection of point-to-point highvoltage (HV) DC links with different specifications such as DC voltage level, system grounding configuration and HVDC technology. To adapt these differences, DC/DC converters are mandatory to interconnect HVDC links. Additionally, they are capable of providing supplementary functions as they are highly controllable devices. In this paper, a primary virtual resistance DC voltage controller associated with DC/DC converter is proposed for managing DC grid voltages of the interconnected HVDC grids, increasing the reliability of the system. The commonly known topology, Front-to-Front Modular Multilevel Converter (F2FMMC) is adopted for DC/DC converter. Time-domain simulation are performed using EMTP software for validating the controller behaviour under power disturbances and large event of loss of one converter in a MMC based MTDC system. All converters are modelled using reduced order modelling (ROM) methodology. Apart from this, dynamic studies have been carried out using linear state space model for small-signal stability analysis of a HVDC system integrating DC/DC converter with virtual resistance DC voltage controller.

Intelligent reconfigurable surfaces (RIS) have emerged as one of the most promising and cost-effective technologies due to their high energy efficiency, extended wireless coverage, enhanced signal strength, and interference mitigation capability. This paper provides a new framework of cognitive radio-based integrated terrestrial non-terrestrial networks (ITNTNs) involving IRS. The objective is to maximize the achievable sum rate of the secondary network by simultaneously optimizing the transmission power, user association, phase shift design of IRS and 2D placement of UAVs while controlling the co-channel interference temperature to the primary network. The problem is formulated as non-convex/non-linear due to interference and decision variables which makes it NP-hard and intractable. To reduce the complexity and make the problem tractable, we first decouple it into subproblems and iteratively obtain an efficient solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimization scheme converges within a few iterations and achieves high sum rate than the benchmark suboptimal schemes.

Onomastics and Paradox: Dostoevsky and the Collapse of the Ontological Integrity of Character

Onomastics plays a key role in Dostoevsky’s poetics: the names of most of his characters are essential to their portraits, even though these names rarely signify unambiguously. Moreover, a number of his characters are nameless and a semantic tension arises from this absence: the impossibility of “branding” the hero with a name prevents us from identifying his or her features through verbal onomastic symbolism. The portrait of such characters necessarily remains somewhat murky. It is no coincidence that the “nameless heroes” are the most paradoxical and enigmatic characters of Dostoevsky’s creative world. By denying them names, Dostoevsky seeks to destroy the inner integrity of these heroes, their identity, in order that a living, independent, and contradictory personality emerges in them.
Нелепые отцы в художественном мире Ф.М. Достоевского

Funny Fathers. Types of the ridiculous old man in Dostoevsky’s novels The first chapters from Dostoevsky’s novel Netochka Nezvanova deal with the fate and the peculiar story of life of the heroine’s stepfather. He is called Efimov and, being an alcoholic and overconfident, he plunges his family into misery. Therefore, he can be considered a prototype of ridiculous father figures occurring in the great novels (Marmeladov from Crime and Punishment, General Ivolgin from The Idiot and Stepan Trofimovič from The Demons). The article focuses on the determining character traits of these figures who embody the dramatic failure of the father generation. While characterising those laughable vecchi, special attention is given to the seemingly paradox criterium of the tragicomic, which finally results in questioning the tension between freedom and a predetermined fate.

From Silence-Weapon to Silence-Dialogue (and Back?). Raskol’nikov’s Paradoxical Path in Crime and Punishment

The article explores the phenomenon of silence in Crime and Punishment as an expression of the reverse logic of Dostoevsky’s world. Silence in Dostoevsky escapes any attempt at a univocal interpretation, as the use of molchanie and tishina in his novels suggests. It is an emblem of the mistery of human existence because it concerns the character’s oscillation between the closure in himself and the opening to the other, between the need to express himself and the awareness of never being able to do it properly. Two levels of the functioning of silence are taken into account: as a stylistic technique used by Dostoevsky to enhance the dramatic effect of some scenes and convey the subtlest nuances of the character’s mood; and as a metaphor for Raskol’nikov’s dramatic existential journey from self-affirmation to the affirmation of the other’s being.
