FORMATION OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY IN AGRICULTURAL MARKETS OF UKRAINE IN CONDITIONS OF EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES
Authors: Kvasha Serhii , Chervonyi Dmytro
Published: April 2024

Modern global instability caused by economic, social and natural factors, which requires a deep understanding and analysis of the impact of such conditions on the formation of demand and supply in the agricultural sector. The relevance of the study is determined by the acute nature of the extraordinary challenges faced by the agricultural sector of Ukraine. In connection with the instability of the economic and political situation, agricultural markets become the object of increased influence of external factors, such as military conflicts, economic sanctions and changes in climatic conditions. Taking into account the dynamism of the market and the search for optimal answers to challenges makes this topic important for the scientific community and practical participants of the agricultural sector. The purpose of the research is to conduct a detailed scientific and practical substantiation of the peculiarities of the formation of demand and supply in the agricultural markets of Ukraine in conditions of extraordinary challenges. The research used general scientific (generalization, comparison, induction and deduction) and empirical-theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis). The use of system- structural and statistical analysis made it possible to analyze the Ukrainian agricultural market and allowed to determine changes in consumer demand for the main groups of products, taking into account economic, social and geopolitical factors. It was found out that the subject of purchase and sale on the agrarian market is agricultural products, the characteristics and peculiarities of production of which determine the uniqueness of the agrarian market in comparison with other types of markets. It has been established that the population's food needs are fully met, and as a result, the country has the opportunity to export products. On the basis of the obtained results, it was established that as a result of a significant increase in food prices, a possible reduction in the assortment of these products and a loss of stable income among the population, it was found that they will lead to a shift in the balance of consumption in favor of bakery products and semi-finished products, which is caused by a decrease in the consumption of livestock products, fish and seasonal products. The results of the study can be used to develop an effective policy of state regulation aimed at increasing the competitiveness of agricultural markets, and can also be used for the further development of risk management programs and strategies in the agricultural sector.
FUNCTIONING OF THE MILK MARKET: THE EXPERIENCE OF UKRAINE AS A CANDIDATE FOR MEMBERSHIP OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Published: April 2024

An analysis of dynamic changes in the number of cows, gross milk production, its balance and export by various products was carried out. It was established that in the absence of consistency of relations in the food chain "production-processing-sale" in Ukraine, the number of cows decreased at the highest annual rates in the world, as a result of which a shortage of raw milk appeared in recent years. At the same time, there was a reduction in the number of dairies with capacity utilization up to 60%. Under such circumstances, they were forced to increase the volume of raw milk imports from European countries. The main direction of solving these problems is the establishment of equilibrium prices in the food chain with the help of the "input-output" model of the dairy sub-complex developed by us earlier. The article substantiates that the application of such a model in the dairy sub-complex as its main module, ensuring compliance with economic, ecological and social criteria, will contribute to the theoretical solution of the problem of harmonizing relations between all participants of integrated production, since this industry should be recognized as a complex system that requires serious scientific approaches to its research. The development of other modules of the system of this complex involves the involvement of specialists in land management, land use, ecology, animal feeding, production and processing technologies, mathematics, etc., as well as business representatives as consultants on forecasting the prospects of competition in the world market of dairy products, since only coordinated comprehensive work of specialists in of ecological and economic problems is able to solve the difficult task of creating a competitive dairy sub-complex of Ukraine. Calculations made with the help of this model indicate the priority of investments in the modernization of dairies with a corresponding further increase in the level of depth of processing, which will lead to a decrease in the cost price of the final products of the factories and the identification of significant reserves for the increase in raw milk prices for primary producers.
SELECTED FACTORS AFFECTING THE TABLE EGGS QUALITY
Authors: Batkowska J. , Melnyk O. , Kutrzuba M. , Drabik K.
Published: April 2024

The global egg market is experiencing significant growth, indicating a rising consumer interest in eggs as a valuable source of high-quality protein, fats, essential vitamins and minerals. Ensuring the quality of table eggs poses challenges for producers and researchers seeking to standardize quality and explore functional food opportunities. The study provides an overview of factors influencing table egg quality, focusing on pre- and post-laying determinants. Egg weight, trait crucial for consumer choice, is influenced by multigenerational breeding efforts and laying hen origin. It is also affected by the laying management practices and environmental conditions, with varying effects reported in scientific reports. The strength of eggshell, predominantly composed of calcium carbonate, is essential for protection but decreases with hen age, necessitating additional mineral supplementation. Shell cleanliness and colour (affected by genotype) influence consumer preferences regionally. Albumen, constituting over 60% of an egg's weight, serves as protection and hydration for the yolk and embryo. Its dense fraction indicates the egg freshness. Yolk, rich in essential nutrients, varies in proportion and colour, influenced by genotype, environmental factors, and dietary pigments. Consumer yolk colour preferences, often influenced by stereotypical beliefs, contribute to regional differences in selection. This drives research efforts aimed at improving egg quality, safety, and ethical production standards, while also addressing welfare concerns. With a growing emphasis on health and sustainability among consumers, future research is expected to prioritize meeting these expectations while catering to diverse preferences.

Published: April 2024

The Art of the Ukrainian Diaspora is an important page of national culture that requires a thorough study. The article examines the development of the culture of the Ukrainian Diaspora in 1940‑1980. The specific features of the cultural life of Ukrainians in emigration are revealed. Unknown or little-known pages of intercultural relations between Ukrainians and world artists are considered. Some aspects of this cultural dialog are outlined. Attention is drawn to the cooperation of Ukrainian and Polish emigration. This cooperation played an important role in the reconciliation of both nations. The research topic is extremely relevant. After all, Diaspora art has become a consolidating factor, a means of national self-presentation of Ukrainians. The role of Diaspora culture in preserving national identity is investigated. It is proved that Diaspora figures also sought to express themselves through culture for political purposes. The main one is to win an independent Ukraine. Today, it is the national and cultural ideology created in the conditions of emigration that can become the basis for the formation of a new mentality of Ukrainians and a factor of national solidarity. The works of Ukrainian writers of the Diaspora presented the Ukrainian nation in the cultural and civilizational space. The idea of cultural unity is also examined on the example of artistic ties between mainland Ukraine and the Diaspora. The article uses literary texts, radio conversations, journalistic articles, and letters from Ukrainian Diaspora figures.
Жанрове розмаїття «п’єси у п’єсі» в сучасній українській літературі
Authors: Науменко Наталія
Published: April 2024

The problem of studying the evolution of ironical element in literature is crucially important and relevant. This article deals with the ironical style in dramaturgy, owing to the fact that it is founded on the element of game intrinsic to irony. The rhetoric figure of pretension (eironeia), from which the mentioned kind of comical had initiated, conditions the main object for this research — «a theatre within a theatre», or «a stage within a stage». Two-dimensional setting of the action (both in formal and substantial aspects) serves as an impetus for development of an ironic style not only in a play, but also in any possible generic modifications of this structure. In other words, an array of literary works shares the same artistic code, upon being included into the single play. Therefore, the main formal factor in this case is «a rehearsal», on which either an entire play or its part gets based. Actually, the studies of «a stage within a stage» in Ukrainian literature remain relevant nowadays. Regarding the history of national dramatic art, it can be said that there were few «rehearsal plays» and «show plays» in Ukraine for the time being; works like «Spokusy nesviatogo Antona (Temptations of Unholy Anthon)» by Ihor Kostetsky, «Kain (Cain)» by Olha Kyrylova and «Tsyrk zhyttia nashogo (The Circus of Our Life)» by Svitlana Leliukh are the updated epitomes of this genre. On the other hand, it is quite interesting to search for plays with traces of «a stage within a stage», since the functions of this means go far beyond the typical derision of internal theatrical drawbacks and intrigues. Having emerged as a reflection of the theatrical scene, «a stage within a stage» can evolve in any closed and open space. Significantly, this symbolizes the movement towards the event elements of theatrical action itself; however (when it comes to a high-quality artistic work), in case of showing some extraordinary events that set up acute conflicts either to be solved or remain open during the action.
COLLABORATIVE HAPPINESS
Authors: Kingfisher Catherine
Published: April 2024

Understudied relative to other forms of intentional community, and under-recognized in policy-making circles, urban cohousing communities situate wellbeing as simultaneously social and subjective, while catering for groups of people so diverse in age. Collaborative Happiness looks at two such urban cohousing communities: Kankanmori, in Tokyo; and Quayside Village, in Vancouver. In expanding beyond mainstream approaches to happiness focused exclusively on the individual, Quayside Village and Kankanmori provide an alternative model for how to understand and practice the good life in an increasingly urbanized world marked by crisis of both social and environmental sustainability.

STATE INTIMACIES
Authors: Fiks Eva
Published: April 2024

The public healthcare system in rural India is chronically under-resourced. It embodies and often perpetuates the wider politics of the Indian state towards its rural communities with provisions of care that are deeply entangled with violence and disgust. For rural women, such care deepens reproductive chronicity while providing temporary relief. Grounded in women’s everyday realities and experiences in sterilization camps and other healthcare settings in rural Rajasthan, State Intimacies examines the mundane workings, ambiguities and fragilities of care in post-colonial rural North India.
Dynamical of Prey Refuge in a Diased Predator-Prey Model with Intraspecific Competition for Predator
Authors: Pratama Rian Ade
Published: April 2024

The predator-prey model described is a population growth model of an eco-epidemiological system with prey protection and predator intraspecific traits. Predation interactions in predator species use response functions. The aim of this research is to examine the local stable balance point and look at the characteristics of species resulting from mathematical modeling interventions. Review of balance point analysis, numerical simulation and analysis of given trajectories. The research results show the shape of the model which is arranged with a composition of 5 balance points. There is one rational balance point to be explained, using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, . The characteristic equation and associated eigenvalues in the mathematical model are the local asymptotically stable balance points. In the trajectory analysis, local stability is also shown by the model formed. There are differences for each population to reach its point of stability. The role of prey protection behavior is very effective in suppressing the spread of disease. Meanwhile, intraspecific predator interactions are able to balance the decreasing growth of prey populations. If we increase the intraspecific interaction coefficient, we can be sure that the growth of the prey population will both increase significantly. When the number of prey populations increases significantly, of course disease transmission and prey protection become determining factors, the continuation of the model in exosite interactions. In prey populations and susceptible prey to infection, growth does not require a long time compared to the growth of predator populations. The time required to achieve stable growth is rapid for the prey species. Although prey species' growth is more fluctuating compared to predator populations. Predatory species are more likely to be stable from the start of their growth. The significance of predatory growth is only at the beginning of growth, while after that it increases slowly and reaches an ideal equilibrium point. Each species has its own characteristics, so extensive studies are needed on more complex forms of response functions in further research.

Service Sector Work Under Pressure From New Technologies and Artificial Intelligence – Lessons From a Number of Foresight Studies
Authors: Hery Michel
Published: April 2024

The use of new technologies is becoming increasingly widespread in the world of work. Robotisation in industry is well known, but there are many uses in service activities that go unnoticed because they do not involve major changes to work processes. Yet they can have a significant influence on working conditions. Other uses in the service sector are leading to major changes, the scale of which means that they are completely overhauling working methods. The example of cycle-delivered meals shows that the social context means that these new forms of work can be difficult to adapt to ensure workers' health. The increasing deployment of artificial intelligence could multiply the number of such cases in the years to come, so we need to be vigilant about the changes in the daily lives of service workers that will ensue.

Biological availability of mineral elements
Authors: Khabinets I. I. , Novhorodska N. V.
Published: April 2024

The animal husbandry industry is the leading branch of our country’s agro-industrial complex, on the one hand, its development determines the level of public consumption of valuable food products, and on the other hand, the economic well-being of the agricultural sector of the economy. It is known that the productivity of farm animals depends on feeding and keeping conditions by 70–80 % and on genetic potential by 20–30 %. Balanced animal nutrition is an important part of the efforts to increase livestock productivity, it is based on meeting the energy and nutrient needs of animals and poultry at different ages. If this requirement is met, you can expect high growth and development of young animals, and high productivity. The application of biologically active substances, including minerals, as catalysts for metabolism is one of the means to increase animal productivity and resistance. Numerous studies have proven their significant role in the processes of tissue respiration, hematopoiesis, reproduction, nervous and endocrine system functions, and consequently in the processes of strengthening the natural immune defenses of animals. Breeders use different sources of macro- and microelements to compensate mineral deficiencies in the diet. It can be mineral additives of industrial production, or natural sources or industrial waste containing certain mineral elements. The availability of certain macro- and microelements in mineral sources, the cost of these additives, and the costs of their purchase and transportation are important. Particular attention is paid to the mineral nutrition of poultry, which has high growth energy, intensive metabolism and a well-developed reproductive function. Special attention is focused on the mineral nutrition of poultry, as they have high growth energy, intensive metabolism and a well-developed reproductive function. An unbalanced mineral nutrition significantly reduces the body’s productivity and resistance, causes significant metabolic disorders, reproductive disorders and diseases, which can often cause poultry death. The most common reason for the declining productivity and immune system is insufficiently balanced feeding in the conditions of production intensification. The intensive use of poultry causes changes in metabolism, reducing the content of micro and macro elements, vitamins and other biologically active substances in the body.
Features of lactation and quality of milk of different breeds of goats
Authors: Karban Y.
Published: April 2024

Milk productivity during the lactation period (305 days) and evaluation of milk according to different quality indicators in periods of the year were studied. The experiments were carried out on 3 groups of goats of Zaanen, Alpine, and Anglo-Nubian breeds at 3–4 years old. Milk productivity was evaluated from the 1st to the 11th month of lactation, and milk quality indicators (fat, protein, SOMO, density) were analyzed using the Lactan 1-4 milk analyzer. It was established that the most incredible intensity of lactation in goats occurs during the 4–5th month after farrowing; the exceptional dynamics of the lactation curve is that it increases from the 1st to the 4th month and decreases from the 5th to the 10th. An interbreeding difference in milk yield was established (Р < 0.001, Р < 0.05) in the 4th, 5th, and 7th months of lactation, where the Anglo-Nubian, Alpine, and Zaanen breeds were arranged in the order of decreasing milk yield. The total lactation rate was maximum in Zaanen animals, and in Anglo-Nubian and Alpine goats, it was lower by 16.4 % (Р < 0.001) and 5 % (Р < 0.001), respectively. It was found that the average daily fertility of goats was in Zaanen animals, and the minimum and maximum in Anglo-Nubian and Alpine breeds about the season of the year, correspondingly spring – 15.9 %, 6.5 %; summer – 16.04 %, 3.74 %; autumn – 23.2 %, 8 %. The study of the physicochemical parameters of goat milk of various species revealed that, according to qualitative parameters, in the spring, summer, and autumn periods, there is an interspecies difference in the content of protein and fat, with the highest content in Anglo-Nubian animals, respectively by 5% (Р < 0.001), 38.6 % (P < 0.01), 36.1 % (P < 0.01). According to indicators of consistency and smell of milk, the three breeds of goats did not have a probable difference. The following discrepancies were established regarding taste qualities: a sweet taste in Anglo-Nubian animals, a rich one in Alpine animals, and no extraneous aftertaste in Zaanen animals. A light cream color is noted in the Anglo-Nubian circles, and a color variation from white to light cream is present in the Alpine and Zaanen peoples.

Published: April 2024

The possibility of improving the technology of raising suckling and weaned kits aged 18–42 days, which would involve the use of starter compound feed, was studied in the conducted research. The object of the research was the livestock of rabbits of the Poltava Silver breed. The research was conducted at the experimental rabbitry of the Cherkasy Research Station of Bioresources. The experiments were carried out in a closed capital ventilated premises using metal cages for keeping suckling does with litters measuring 95×39 cm, equipped with feeders and automatic waterers. The cages intended for feeding suckling kits with starter compound feed were slightly modified: an additional feeder was installed in the compartment for young stock, and only the kits had the possibility of free movement between different compartments of the cage. By the method of group analogs from nests of suckling 18-day-old kits, two subgroups of 25 heads each were formed. The preparatory period lasted 5 days, and the main one – 19 days (raising up to 42 days of age, with weaning at 35). Suckling does of both groups were fed a complete granulated feed PK 91 (for adult rabbits and does aged 90 days and older “Lux”) produced by LLC “KreMix”. For the animals of the experimental group, a recipe for additional complete granulated starter compound feed was developed, produced at a farm in the village of Tashlik, Smila district. Thus, both starter compound feed and feed for feeding suckling does were used for the kits of the experimental group, and for the analogs of the control group - the same feed as for the does. The conducted research revealed that the use of complete granulated starter compound feed for feeding young rabbits aged 18–42 days as an additional feed, developed according to international standards, did not lead to an increase in the total cost of feed per 1 kg of live weight gain, but on the contrary, reduced it. Due to the increase in the retention rate of the replacement young stock in the experimental group by 8.0 % provided its realization for further breeding per 100 heads, contributed to additional income of 1015.28 UAH. (market realization price – 140.00 UAH/kg of live weight). Based on the conducted research, an information database of growth and development indicators of replacement young stock of rabbits when fed starter compound feed at the age of 18–42 days has been created.

ЕКОНОМІЧНА ПОЛІТИКА ПІДТРИМКИ МАЛОГО БІЗНЕСУ АПК
Authors: Шпильовий Євгеній
Published: April 2024

Стаття висвітлює актуальну тему економічної політики, спрямованої на підтримку малого бізнесу в агропромисловому комплексі (АПК). Зосереджуючись на різноманітних аспектах підтримки, дослідження розкриває сутність ефективних інструментів, що сприяють зростанню та конкурентоспроможності малих аграрних підприємств. Однією з ключових тем дослідження є фінансова підтримка. Автори висвітлюють необхідність доступу до фінансових ресурсів через кредитування, субсидії та гранти. Другий аспект дослідження — технічна підтримка та консультації. Висвітлення важливості центрів консультацій, де фермери можуть отримувати технічні поради, підкреслює значущість впровадження сучасних методів та технологій в сільському господарстві. Не менш важливим аспектом є страхування та гарантії. Створення системи сільськогосподарського страхування може допомогти фермерам захистити свої культури від негоди та ризиків. Ще однією важливою складовою є стимулювання інновацій та впровадження технологій. Дослідження аргументує, що фінансова підтримка досліджень та впровадження нових технологій може суттєво підняти рівень продуктивності та створити умови для сталого розвитку галузі. Маркетингова та збутова підтримка, вивчення якої також становить частину дослідження, акцентує увагу на важливості створення аграрних кооперативів та розширення ринків збуту через ефективні маркетингові стратегії.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to select and compare a range of rating scales to assess the clinical status of high-risk patients with gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). It was based on the evaluation of the severity of the disease by applying different integral scales in patients with heart disease and developing acute GIB. We evaluated the condition of the patients with Forest (F), Rockall and Glasgow-Blatkford integral scales. We achieved endoscopic homeostasis in 11.81% of patients. We managed to cure 69.15% of patients with conservative treatment and 19.04% with surgical treatment. According to the results of the Rockall scale, 23.63% of high-risk patients and 31.73% of higher-risk patients (total 55.36%) were. However, 19.04% of patients with a severity score above 6 required surgery. Based on these results, we believe that in patients with heart disease and GIB, the severity of the patient’s condition and the Glasgow-Blatkford integral scale are more appropriate in choosing the treatment protocol to be selected.
Open to Open-Loop: Payments Challenges for Public Transit
Authors: Pike Susie , Turner Katherine , Chin Staly , Nguyen Andrea
Published: April 2024

Open-loop payment systems accept credit cards, debit cards, and mobile “wallets”. For public transit open-loop payments do not require agency-specific fare media, can improve boarding efficiency, reduce idling times, and remove costs associated with tickets/cards and handling cash (Iseki et al., 2007; Zamer, 2018). Using survey data collected from 21 California transit agencies we find they have positive perceptions of open-loop payments and their ability to adopt these systems. However, they affirm there are challenges including technological complexity and equipment costs. We evaluate interest in assistance programs aimed at alleviating some of the challenges transit agencies face in implementing open-loop payments.

Comparing the understandability of alternative data warehouse schemas: An empirical study
Authors: Schuff David , Corral Karen , Turetken Ozgur
Published: April 2024

An easily understood data warehouse model enables users to better identify and retrieve its data. It also makes it easier for users to suggest changes to its structure and content. Through an exploratory, empirical study, we compared the understandability of the star and traditional relational schemas. The results of our experiment contradict previous findings and show schema type did not lead to significant performance differences for a content identification task. Further, the relational schema actually led to slightly better results for a schema augmentation task. We discuss the implications of these findings for data warehouse design and future research.
A model-based DSS for integrating the impact of learning in project control
Authors: Plaza Malgorzata , Turetken Ozgur
Published: April 2024

Earned Value Method (EVM) is a popular project control technique. In this paper, we discuss the extended version of EVM (EVM/LC) that addresses the effect of learning on the performance of project teams. These effects have so far been ignored in most EVM applications. We present a spreadsheet-based decision support tool that automates the calculations and analyses in EVM/LC. Using this tool would save the project manager from having to perform complicated calculations while still taking advantage of the relatively accurate estimates generated by EVM/LC. Consequently, this paper contributes to both research and practice in project management.
