Regional startup ecosystems of Ukraine
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, MAZUR Anastasiia
Published: October 2023

The startup ecosystem of each country contains separate elements and reflects the effectiveness of their interaction, which is also reflected in regional ecosystems. The aim of the research is to identify and rank the start-up ecosystems of the regions of Ukraine according to various indicators, distinguish the differences between the ecosystems and determine the main directions of their development, expansion within a separate region. In the research multifactorial comparative analysis in four stages has been used, such as: justification of the indicator system, normalization of the matrix of standardized coefficients, squaring of all elements of the matrix of standardized coefficients and placement of the obtained rating values by rank. The highest level is charac­terized by a sufficient number of supporting elements that help startups find financing options and accelerate market entry processes; the high level has a dynamic ecosystem that helps early-stage startups find support and funding programs; the medium level has a developing ecosystem, and the existing business structure contributes to the development of the startup movement in the region; the low level has the potential for further development and additional initiatives by local authorities and business structures. According to the rating, the highest level was determined in Kyiv region, the high level is found in Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv regions, the average level is found in Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions. Other regions belong to the lower and the lowest levels, which emphasize the promising development of startup ecosystems in the regions. Regions with the highest level can focus on maintaining and expanding their existing ecosystem by providing additional support and funding for startups; with high indicators they can focus on the further development of its dynamic ecosystem, creating more clusters and events to attract startups and investors; medium level regions can consentrate on increasing the number of supporting elements to make it easier for startups to find funding and scale; with a low level regions can focus on conducting competitions, hackathons, involving the IT community for the development of the startup community.
Зовнішня торгівля України у контексті процедури спільного транзиту

Реалії воєнного часу суттєво вплинули на обсяги товарообігу країни та діяльність україн­ських підприємств, передусім експортерів. Струк­тура зовнішньої торгівлі України зазнала сут­тєвих змін через приєднання України до процедури спільного транзиту. Умови спільного транзиту мають стати своєрідним поштовхом для україн­ських підприємців, зокрема експортерів, для роз­ширення ринків збуту. Однак щоб усі суб’єкти зовнішньоекономічної діяльності могли повноцінно скористатися такими перевагами, їм потрібно пройти певні процедури та надати відповідні гарантії. Метою статті є виокремлення змін та особливостей зовнішньої торгівлі України в кон­тексті запровадження процедури спільного тран­зиту, а також узагальнення принципів і критеріїв щодо умов та надання гарантій українськими суб’єктами зовнішньоекономічної діяльності в умовах митного безвізу. Для досягнення мети вико­ристано методи статистичного аналізу, аналізу та синтезу, дедуктивний. Транзитне перевезення товарів під митним контролем здійснюється за єдиним транзитним документом з країни-експор­тера до країни-імпортера під забезпеченням однією гарантією, яка діє на території всіх країн-учас­ниць, через які йдуть товари від постачальника до покупця. Це дасть змогу зменшити вартість митних процедур і час на їх виконання, наслідком має стати зменшення черг на кордоні, а отже – більш швидке реагування суб’єктів зовнішньо­економічної діяльності на потреби ринку. Проте гарантія має надаватися в євро та у вартість гарантії закладатимуться відразу ризики зміни курсу гривні відносно до євро, відсоток інфляції тощо. Вітчизняні експортери наразі мають від­криті перспективи, що полегшує вихід на ринки країн Європейського Союзу через приєднання України до Конвенції про процедуру спільного транзиту. Виконання необхідних умов є насамперед доволі складною процедурою, проте здійснення всіх вимог та надання відповідних гарантій має значно спростити вихід на іноземні ринки, зокрема країн – учасниць Конвенції, та підвищити конку­рентоспроможність українських товарів, що буде мати позитивний вплив на загальний стан зовніш­ньої торгівлі України. Отже, набуває актуаль­ності виокремлення змін, особливостей та перспек­тив розвитку зовнішньої торгівлі України в кон­тексті запровадження процедури спільного транзиту.

Зовнішня торгівля є одним з головних чин­ників розвитку країни, що безпосередньо впливає на її головні економічні показники. В умовах нестабільності, пов’язаних з повномасштабним вторгненням росії в Україну, введенням воєнного стану, блокуванням моря та іншими негативними факторами, важливо шукати альтернативні шляхи реалізації експорту, використовуючи всі можливі види транспорту та логістичні ланцюги поста­чання. Особливої актуальності набуває проблема експорту продукції агропромислового комплексу, оскільки до повномасштабного вторгнення Україна була світовим лідером експорту цього виду ван­тажів. Блокування українських портів та умови воєнного стану призвели до різкого збільшення сві­тових цін на сільськогосподарські товари, змен­шення купівельної спроможності та світової кризи, яка становить загрозу продовольчій без­пеці у світі. Метою цієї статті є визначення та узагальнення альтернативних логістичних маршрутів реалізації українського експорту в умовах воєнного стану шляхом дослідження зміни його товарної структури, географії та транспортних потуж­ностей. За результатами аналізу товарної струк­тури експорту та зміни складу основних імпор­терів українських товарів з’ясовано, що наразі про­дукція агропромислового комплексу є його основою. Унаслідок дії Чорноморської зернової ініціативи через українські порти експортовано основну кількість сільгосптоварів, а за її припинення ство­рюється загроза для зовнішньої торгівлі. Альтер­нативними варіантами вивезення українського збіжжя можуть стати нові логістичні маршрути з використанням пропускних потужностей усіх можливих видів транспорту. Пошук нових логіс­тичних маршрутів з можливістю застосування залізничного, автомобільного, поромного та морсь­кого видів транспорту дасть змогу вийти на необхідні об’єми експорту товарів агропро­мис­лового комплексу та зменшити ризики, що сфор­мувалися в умовах нестабільності. Розвиток інтер­модальних перевезень є найальтер­натив­нішим варіантом з погляду логістики, а вико­ристання та поєднання переваг наземного й водного видів транспорту сприятиме оптимізації логістичних шляхів реалізації українського експорту.

Authors: ŞAHİN Güliz
Published: October 2023

The study aims to explore the perspectives of primary school teacher candidates who attend Turkish Language Teaching courses on their experiences of developing digital educational escape room games (DEERGs). Phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was utilized. The study group comprised 48 primary school teacher candidates who were reached by the convenience sampling method. A semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher and DEERGs designed by the participants were used as data collection tools. In the 14-week study, interviews were conducted via Microsoft Teams. The findings were analysed from a holistic perspective using content analysis. Results indicated that the participants preferred Google Forms and Genially tools in game design, and they benefited from Web 2.0 tools. In first language education, games for reading and writing skills were designed, and mostly primary school and 4th-grade achievements were selected. It was observed that they considered areas of interest, individual differences, and constructs that support cognitive-emotional and skill development in scripting. It was emphasized that DEERGs contribute to attention, focus, maintaining and motivating learning, problem-solving, developing a positive attitude towards the lesson, and learning while having fun.

«THE NEWEST MIRACLE ABOUT THE DECEASED YOUTH»: THE HISTORY OF THE TEXT OF VARLAAM OF KHUTYN’S FAMOUS MIRACLE
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinsky Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Karbasova Tatiana B.
Published: October 2023

This article considers the textual history of one of the most famous miracles in Russian hagiography – the resurrection of the youth Gregory by Varlaam of Khutyn in 1460, which is known in scholarly works as “The Miracle of Tumgan” or “The Story of the Miracle of 1460”. The study involves three texts that are found in fifteenth-century manuscript miscellanies: the literary “Story of the Miracle”, the record of this miracle in the Chronicle of Avraamka, and “The Newest Miracle about the Deceased Youth” in the second redaction of Pachomius’s Life of Varlaam of Khutyn. The “Story of the Miracle”, which contains a large visionary segment, is commented and analyzed in the context of the genre of visions.
THE LIBRARY OF THE DIONISIEV-GLUSHITSKY MONASTERY AT THE TIME OF ITS FOUNDER
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinsky Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Semiachko Svetlana A.
Published: October 2023

This article presents a publication and a study of the list of 33 books recorded in the Testament of St. Dionisy, the founder of the Pokrov Glushitsky Monastery. The Testament was written at the end of 1435, about a year and a half before Dionysius’s death. None of the books named in the Testament are identical with any manuscripts preserved in modern libraries and archives. This study shows that the assortment of books collected in the monastery was far from accidental. The books were selected in order to cover a wide variety of monastic activities and topics, such as the performance of the liturgy, occasional offices and prayers, readings about monastic rules, and edificatory texts.
THE PHILOLOGICAL PROJECTS OF DR. KELLERMAN
Authors:   Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dubrovski Igor V.
Published: October 2023

The correspondence of the Tuscan court from 1685 contains a discussion of the idea of compiling a dictionary and a grammar book of the Russian language. The person who suggested the idea was the first Russian Doctor of Medicine and Theology, Heinrich Kellerman. A year later, he offered the Moscow authorities to translate the Bible from Hebrew. Apparently, he was later engaged in correcting the text of the Holy Scriptures, since a false rumor that arose in Europe stated that Kellerman had published a certain eight-language polyglot in Moscow in 1712. That year Peter I issued a decree that established a commission that was tasked with the correction of the Church Slavonic translation of the Bible based on the Greek text of the Septuagint. This decision placed the work in the hands of the Old Russian conservative party. The decree was possibly a reaction to the translation activities of the Moscow physician Heinrich Kellerman.
THE TALE OF THE MURDER OF PRINCE ANDREI BOGOLYUBSKII: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS
Authors:   Ivan Petrovsky Bryansk State University, Ismailova Zuleyha Adil-kyzy
Published: October 2023

The article considers a chronicle tale about the main internal political event in the Vladimir Principality in 1174 — the assassination of Prince Andrei Bogoliubskii. This study aims to identify the composition of the tale, the origin of each element of its composition, the time when and the reasons why the tale was included in the chronicle. The study employs the methods of source criticism and of textual and historical-critical analysis. The author concludes that the tale of the murder of Prince Andrei Bogoliubskii is a composite work, which includes the Life of the prince and two secular stories about his assassination. Only the beginning and several separate fragments from one of these stories are preserved. The composition determines the heterogeneous style of the tale — the hagiographical elements are intertwined with the chronicle features. The Life of the prince and the stories about his murder were edited when they were included in the southern and northern chronicles (the Hypatian Chronicle and the Laurentian Chronicle). At the same time, the chroniclers adapted these texts to the political interests of each principality.
THE «DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE» OF NOVGOROD IN EARLY NOVGORODIAN TEXTS BY PACHOMIUS LOGOTHETES
Authors:   independent scholar St. Petersburg, Russia, Isidorova Zoia N.
Published: October 2023

At the end of the 1430s, Archbishop Evfimii II of Novgorod commissioned Pachomius Logothetes (the Serb) to compose two cycles of texts for the two local religious feasts — the feast of the Novgorodian icon of Our Lady of the Sign («Znamenie»), associated with the legend of the miraculous rescue of Novgorod from the besieging army of Grand Prince Andrei of Suzdal in 1169–1170, and the feast of St. Varlaam Khutynskii. Both cycles contain statements that express some aspects of political independence of Novgorod. I compare these declarative phrases from Pachomius’s texts with a similar phrase in the anonymous «Slovo o znamenii», which was the main source for Pachomius’s Znamenskii cycle. This comparison shows that Pachomius did not retain the notion that the Novgorodian right to territories was divinely sanctioned. Instead, he paid special attention to different aspects of political power: the political independence of Novgorod, the right of the Novgorodians to invite and expel princes, and the duties of such a prince. I argue that these observations are connected with the main ideas of the rest of the Znamenskii cycle where Pachomius presents the Mother of God and even God himself as protectors of Novgorod and emphasizes the exceptionally high status of Archbishop Ioann as an agent who conveys the will of God to the people of Novgorod. Considering what we know about Archbishop Evfimii’s II political activities and the ideological trends that are revealed in the Novgorodian chronicles, I suggest that the task that Pachomius had likely in mind when composing the Znamenskii cycle was the legitimation of the power of the archbishop in his capacity as the head of the independent Novgorod republic.
“A BOOK IN THE KRIUKOV FAMILY OF PERFORMERS”: ON THE SOURCES OF THE SPIRITUAL POEM ABOUT JOSEPH THE ALL-COMELY FROM THE WINTER COAST OF THE WHITE SEA
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Komelina Natalya G.
Published: October 2023

Several researchers, including Yurii Alexandrovich Novikov, have noted a strong influence of published texts on the poems that were composed and performed by members of the Kriukov family of the village of Nizhniaia Zimnaia Zolotitsa on the Winter Coast of the White Sea. The book that the Kriukovs used in their creative work was the popular anthology Narodnaia poeziia (Folk poetry), which was published by A. V. Oksenov in 1894. This article reveals texts that served as sources for the poem about Joseph the All-Comely with the incipit “ To whom shall I relate my sorrow…,” which was recorded by the folklorist A. V. Markov from the famous performer Agrafena Matveevna Kriukova at the beginning of the 20th century. The article is accompanied by the publication of the text of a poem about Joseph the All-Comely with the same incipit from an 18th-century manuscript that belonged to the Kriukovs’ collection of books, which is now in the possession of the Library of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg (Collection of current acquisitions, No. 421). The study of these texts led to the conclusion that the poem about Joseph that was performed by Agrafena Kriukova was not based on Oksenov’s anthology. Instead, its source was the spiritual poem that circulated in handwritten copies, one of which belonged to Vasilii L. Kriukov, Agrafena’s father-in-law, and was read to Agrafena by her daughter Pavla. The second part of the poem that Kriukova performed suggests her acquaintance with the Life (or the Story) of Joseph the All-Comely or its folklore renderings.
THE UST-TSILMA FOLK TALES ABOUT ILIA MUROMETS PERFORMED BY MARFA ALEKSEEVNA SEMENOVA AS A PART OF THE LOCAL TRADITION
Authors:   Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University, Kaneva Tatyana S.
Published: October 2023

The article examines four recordings of a tale about Ilia Muromets that was narrated by Marfa Alekseevna Semenova (1917–1997) in the Pechora River basin of the Ust-Tsilma District of the Komi Republic. The recordings were made in the years 1980–1990. Three recordings are kept in the Folklore Archive of the Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University, and one is preserved in the Archive of the Department of Folklore of Moscow State University. The later was published in the first volume of the Svod russkogo folklora as a version of a bylina about the main hero of the Russian epic. If considered as a retelling of the bylina, Semenova’s tale noticeably differs from other epic versions. The text narrated by Semenova is much larger and combines stories about the healing of Ilia Muromets, his victory over Solovei-Razboinik and the deliverance of Kiev from the pagans. This study compares the four recordings of Semenova’s narration with each other and with other Ust-Tsilma variants of the byliny and tales about this hero. The article comments on the most interesting peculiarities of the construction of the plot and the implementation of motives and images in Semenova’s tale. Special attention is paid to the rare motive for the hero to receive a name — Ilia Muromets zamuromil (i. e., dammed up) the river — and to the atypical reason for his imprisonment in the cellar. The study also notes such features as overlapping and varying fragments that are based on traditional formulas and others that are expressed in prose, relate to the familiar environment of the narrator, and are conveyed in ordinary language. The article includes a description of the performer’s repertoire and a discussion of the possible sources of her folklore knowledge. The study led to the conclusion that Semenova learned the tales by ear and that she was well aware of the distinction between a folk tale and a bylina.
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF TIT EGOROVICH TOCHILOV (1881–1939) IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICES AND ETHNOGRAPHIC REALITIES OF THE VILLAGE OF ZIMNIAIA ZOLOTITSA
Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Drannikova Natalia V. , Morozova Tatiana N. ,   Mikhail Lomonosov Northern (Arctic) Federal University
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the autobiography of Tit Egorovich Tochilov (1881-1939), a resident of Zimniaia Zolotitsa. In 1935, Tochilov was heavily taxed and deprived of the right to vote. He wrote the autobiography in 1939, after he was levied once again. In this text, Tochilov intended to describe his hard life, which was characterized by roaming and continuous work. He sought to make his life story public and to present himself as a hard worker who aligned with the ideology of the new Soviet state. Tit Egorovich Tochilov is known to Russian folklorists as a performer of epic poems (byliny). His autobiography contains descriptions of the socio-cultural practices and ethnographic realities of Zimniaia Zolotitsa. The village of Zimniaia Zolotitsa has an economy that is typical for the Pomor’e region. Throughout his life, Tochilov worked on fishing vessels and participated in the hunt of sea animals and in sea fishing. In our analysis of Tochilov’s autobiographical narrative, we consider an autobiography as a complex verbal construction that is not a reflection but a presentation of a person’s life. Tochilov’s narrative strategy strove to display his work biography. Accordingly, Tochilov talks in detail about his professional activities but relates almost nothing about his personal life. Tochilov’s autobiography is of interest to folklorists and anthropologists because it gives a detailed description of many sociocultural and professional practices of the Pomor’e: the structure and relationships in the male cooperative association (artel’), the organization of the hunt of sea animals and fishing trades, etc. In his narrative, Tochilov regularly refers to the hunting and fishing times for the Winter Coast of the White Sea that are contained in the traditional calendar.
CENTERS OF THE EPIC TRADITION IN THE URALS
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Reilly Marina V.
Published: October 2023

This article considers the origin and development of the epic tradition in the Urals region. Special attention is paid to the earliest known source of our knowledge of Russian epic texts — the book Drevnie rossiiske stikhotvoreniia, sobrannye Kirshei Danilovym (Ancient Russian poems collected by Kirsha Danilov), which was published in Moscow in 1804. The article examines the influence of this collection of texts on the epic tradition of the Urals region. It names the main performers and collectors who gathered and studied the epics of that area. The article also provides a list of the main plots of the epic texts that were found in archive materials and publications that were made by folklore researchers in the 19th and 20th centuries. The study compares and defines specific features of plots of epic texts from the collection of Kirsha Danilov and plots of texts that were recorded and published later.

Public service motivation (PSM) has been the topic of many public administration and management studies since 1990. In Vietnam, 2016 marked the beginning of PSM research with a great deal of consideration of the impact of PSM on civil servants' job satisfaction, performance, and organizational commitment. However, no controlled studies have investigated PSM's impact on public employee outcomes, especially in the context of Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). This study aims to examine how underlying aspects of public service motivation (Self-Sacrifice, Commitment to the Public Interest, Attraction to Public Policy Making, and Compassion) affect both positive and negative employee outcome factors, including Work Effort; Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Turnover Intention, and Work-related Stress. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) point out that four PSM sub-constructs have varying effects on employee outcomes, as evidenced by the data from a random sample of three hundred and thirteen lecturers and administrators from Vietnamese public universities. In particular, three sub-constructs of PSM, namely self-sacrifice, dedication to the public interest, and attractiveness to public policymaking favorably influence employees' efforts in their duties; whereas compassion has a negligible influence on work efforts. Four aspects of PSM positively affect work effort and organizational citizenship behavior but adversely influence work-related stress and intention to leave the organization. This research demonstrates that a greater degree of PSM in all sub-constructs is favorably connected with public employees' organizational citizenship behavior. However, PSM negatively correlates with job stress although this is only supported by the sub-construct of selflessness. The findings of this research have proposed several significant recommendations for the approaches taken to human resource management within public universities in Vietnam.

Little is known about how specific participants send and receive safety information and training whilst safety is always an essential factor contributing to the success of a project. Research examining the patterns of safety communication, especially in emerging markets like Vietnam, is therefore necessary. Data was collected through case studies and interviews with six contractor’s managers in different projects. This paper presents a social network analysis approach that has been used a wide range of applications and disciplines to analyse and measure how safety communication occurs between project participants. The results show that there is a clustering in the way the organization communicates about occupational safety. At the same time, there is a relationship between the frequency of exchanging information on occupational safety and the satisfaction with the work safety in the project of the contractor's managers. Initially, it can be surmised that the frequency of information exchange on occupational safety in Vietnam is similar to that in many other countries. In addition, the projects have a variety of occupational safety communication channels. In terms of applicability, metrics like ones presented in this paper can perfectly serve as a leading set of safety performance indicators, which can be rapidly measured and modeled at the outset of a project and throughout project implementation.

Published: October 2023

Based on Biggs' 3P model of teaching and learning, this study was carried out using a mixed method to explore the direct and indirect effects (through learning motivation) of factors of faculty capacity, facilities, and management on student learning outcomes. A sample of 367 convenience sampling observations is processed under the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS_SEM) in the study. The results show that the capacity of lecturers has both a direct and indirect impact on student learning outcomes. Specifically, the lecturers’ capacity is the strongest factor that impacts student learning outcomes, followed by students’ motivation. Facilities and management factors do not directly impact student learning outcomes but have an indirect impact (through learning motivation) on student learning outcomes. The results of the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA), show the importance-performance of the factors affecting the learning results in order from strong to weak, respectively: (i) Instructor Capacity – NLGV (0.748; 73.819); (ii) Learning Motivation – DCHT (0.290; 63.252); (iii) Facilities – CSVC (0.06; 70.331); and finally (iv) Management – QL (0.050; 57.284). This study also provides some practical management implications to help university, lecturers, and students improve the quality of training.
