Published: November 2024

Introduction. In modern conditions, the higher education system is forced to respond to new challenges and change to meet the needs of society and the market. These changes are associated, first of all, with the need for practice-oriented training, bringing science and education closer together, increasing the role of student independence, as well as the need to use an interdisciplinary approach. In this regard, the role of the lecturer in the educational process is changing. The teacher must use new techniques and teaching methods, ones that will prepare a future specialist, a university graduate, to solve practical problems immediately after receiving a diploma. Project activity as part of the educational process at a university can solve many problems that teachers and students now face. The purpose of the study is to understand the changing roles of lecturer and students in the context of transformation of higher education using the example of organizing project activities. Materials and methods. The survey involved 152 regional studies students of the Faculty of Humanities Education of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (Russian Federation) aged 19 to 23 years (1-4 years). Statistical processing of the results was carried out by combining and grouping statistical materials. Results. Based on the survey, the results of students' expectations in the process of obtaining an education were revealed. It was not intended to explain or understand these results in detail. But we can state their general collective orientation and this is connected with the desire to learn (gain new knowledge, get acquainted with methods of processing/analysis of factual material). The main function of a student, according to the survey, is studying/gaining knowledge (100%), second place is occupied by a function related to communication (79.6%), followed by respect (34.51%). It is interesting that students perceive the functions of a teacher in a similar way: in the first place – to teach (100%), in the second place – to communicate (51%), third – to respect (48%). Conclusion. The use of project activities in the educational process in higher education helps the lecturer organize the educational process in such a way that learning takes place on the basis of the convergence of theory and practice, students act as active participants, mastering not only professional, but also communicative competencies, learn to work in a team, decide current tasks within the framework of your future profession. However, a detailed study of the mechanism for using this technology within individual academic disciplines is necessary.

The local wisdom of coastal communities is one of the potential for supporting survival amidst limited capital and fishing equipment. Local wisdom, one of which is from natural resources, has the potential to support the improvement of the fishermen's economy. Utilizing local resources by managing fish products into processed products is one of the fishing communities' efforts to develop local potential based on local wisdom. Apart from natural potential in socio-cultural terms, namely the sea picking tradition and knowledge of the fish season calendar, it is also a form of local wisdom from the fishermen of the Pesinggahan Traditional Village which is used to maximize the productivity of marine products. These external factors also encourage the development and production of local products, especially the management of processing marine products into processed products from fishing families. Management developed through efforts to form MSMEs using SWOT analysis to develop local products. These processed products include mackerel fish crackers, smoked fish, fish paste, and dried fish. The results of this research show that the local productivity of the Pesinggahan Village fishing community is maintained because the management is carried out using an integrated work system even though it is very simple and traditional. The efforts made in this research are improvements to build MSMEs through the participation of fishing families which are currently maintained so that local products become regional characteristics. Integrated marine product management can improve the economy of fishermen in meeting their living needs.

Dawan District is one of the areas located in Klungkung Regency which is in the coastal area. Nearly 20% of local people earn their livelihood in the fisheries and marine sectors. The potential of the large marine area, precisely in Kusamba Village, can certainly be a great opportunity for the local community to make a living as salt farmers. Kusamba is an old village located almost seven (7) km from Semarapura City Klungkung, according to Pemancangah or chronicle about the escape of Ki Gusti Maruti who rebelled against the King of Bali in Gelgel (Queen Dalem Dimadya) in 1686, Ki Gusti Maruti also brought along the servants who were residents of Pasek Gelgel and at that time it was said that residents of Pasek Gelgel were also related to residents of Pasek in Kusamba who were known as Pasek Sadra, from these residents of Pasek Gelgel he was at the location of the new settlement in Kuramas village, the residents were placed in Banjar Gelgel, Keramas . In 1750 AD, after the death of the King of the Kelungkung Kingdom, Ratu Dewa Agung Sakti, and was replaced by his sister Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Panji as King of Kelungkung, the sons of the King of Kelungkung Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Pandji were each given a place to live to protect the people and the security of the Kingdom. Klungkung. The population of Kusamba village as of 2021 is 5,465 people consisting of 2,649 men and 2,816 women. In this case, the importance of education related to building a business concept motivates the community to be able to plan a local economic business. The Governor of Bali's policy through Circular Letter (SE) No.17 of 2021 concerning the use of local Balinese traditional salt products in its implementation as a Kerthi Bali Economic concept where he conveyed that traditional salt farmers must be preserved because the salt produced by Kusamba village tastes delicious, this has become opportunities for local communities to be able to build a business, either individually or as a group, by exploiting this potential in their area to help improve the economy and prosperity. It is hoped that the educational understanding of the concept of sustainable business and the Kerthi Bali Economic policy will be able to provide an overview of the community in the Nusa Penida sub-district to build a business that contains elements of Balinese natural local wisdom as a form of assisting the government in realizing the vision and mission of the Bali provincial government. The educational process as a new business is the main thing that needs to be understood, including the elements that support the business line so that it can still reach the market and survive, because a business is not only oriented towards profit but also the community and the surrounding nature.
Analysis of Mystical and Literary Concepts in Maqalat-e Shams from a Semiotics Perspective
Authors: SayadChamani Artmiz , Karamzadeh Haftkhani Yaser
Published: November 2024

Semiotic systems and implications in the mystical literary work of Maqalat-e Shams Tabrizi raise multilayer. Thus, semiotic analysis of Maqalat can lead to a better understanding of such texts. In this article, Maqalat-e Shams is investigated from both mystical and literary points of view, and the science of semiotics is introduced. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the library research method has collected and reviewed the data. From the mystical point of view, the semiotic analysis consists of expressions/idioms and word symbols. Terms such as Hijab, Samaa, Talab, Love, Monotheism, and word symbols such as Wine, Mirror, and homeland are semiotic features in Maqalat-e Shams and always describe the semantic relations among them. From the literary point of view, the Semiotic code of the creator, aesthetics, and intertextuality are evaluated. There are numerous Semiotic codes of the creator in Maqalat-e Shams that provide useful information about the life, personality, contemporaries, and social status of Shams of the reader. Also, aesthetics makes the text more prominent through symbols, exaggeration, Semantic contradiction, hyponymy, and repetition. Analysis of literary symbols reveals that the Maqalat are not closed texts that are explicit intertextual links between texts like the Quran, prophetic Hadiths, and works of poets and intellects such as Sanai, Attar, Al-Ghazali, and Najm al-Din Razi.
The Nature and Characteristics of the Ecclesiastical Schism
Authors: Tinikashvili David
Published: November 2024

There may be various criteria, characteristics, or signs to determine divisions in the Christian Church, on the basis of which it is possible to reveal and identify these schisms. The first sign of church division can be differences or contradictions between important doctrinal ideas. The second criterion of schism is the creation of a parallel hierarchy. There is another sign of real church schism. This is the antagonistic mood of the people towards those from whom they are religiously separated. This kind of attitude of the people further strengthens the division and gives it an irreversible character. Perhaps, this is not accidental because, according to the definition, the members of the church are not only clerics, representatives of the hierarchy, but also all believers. There is another important criterion of schism, which, unfortunately, is often ignored. This is a ‘sacramental relationship”, that is, the participation of members of formally separated churches in each other's sacraments. This kind of relationship between Latins (Catholics) and Greeks (Orthodox) was not always broken. It could be argued that, for example, the Great Schism of 1054 finally met all these criteria to be considered a full schism. Naturally, all the signs did not appear immediately. Their appearance took different periods of time. Thus, the Great Schism finally had all the real signs of a schism (distinctions in doctrine, the development of parallel hierarchies, the antagonistic mood of the believers, the severing of sacramental relations), but in certain regions, some of these "alienating" signs, due to historical circumstances, used to disappear (e.g., restoration of mutual participation in the sacraments). But since such events were temporary and unstable, they could not eliminate the general and permanent reality of church schism. In this context, it is completely irrelevant to appeal to such "mitigating" factors, namely, crusade cooperation, individual exceptional figures who did not share the radical positions of the supporters of the schism, the issue of mentioning or not mentioning in the diptych or mixed marriages.
Before the Great States. Caucasians from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age
Authors: Pylypchuk Yaroslav V. , Sulava Nino
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the history of the Caucasus and its people from the 5th to the 2nd millennium BC. One of the first significant developments in the history of the South Caucasus was the Kuro-Araxes culture, which united various Caucasian peoples living in the South Caucasus region, Anatolia, northwestern Iran, and northern Mesopotamia. This culture served as an ancestral foundation for the Proto-Kolkh, Trialet, Karmirberd, Kizylvank, and Uzerlin-Sevan cultures. In the North Caucasus, the Maikop and Dolmen cultures were prominent during the Bronze Age. These cultures provided a basis from which the Abkhaz-Adyghe peoples would later emerge. A significant phase in this history was characterized by the North Caucasian cultural-historical community, within which several local groups evolved. Notably, the Kobans maintained close contacts with the steppe tribes, such as the Srubniks and the Kartvelian Colchis. The Western variant of the Koban culture, along with the Kuban metallurgy center, laid the groundwork for the development of the Proto-Abkhazian-Adyghe community. In addition, the Proto-Colchian and Trialetian cultures contributed to the formation of the Kartvelian peoples. The Hattians were associated with the Central Anatolian culture, although limited information is available about them. In contrast, the history of the Hurrians is much better documented. The Hurrians migrated to the Near East from the Armenian Highlands, drawn by Akkadian trade routes. By the end of the 3rd millennium BC, they had begun to settle in southeastern Anatolia and northern Syria. The establishment of the kingdom of Mitanni was largely a response to the need to counter Hittite expansion. Before this, the Hurrians were mostly on the fringes of the interests of the Akkadian kings, the kings of Ur, and the Babylonian rulers of the Gutian and Kassite dynasties. Although Mitanni experienced an influx of Indo-Europeans, it fundamentally remained a Hurrian state until its decline in the middle of the 13th century BC. After the fall of Mitanni, smaller Hurrian states emerged, participating in the Assyrian-Urartian wars. The military campaigns of the Assyrian kings during the Middle Assyrian period were crucial to the decline of Mitanni.

Cyberfeminism in Iran
Authors: Kupatadze Tinatin
Published: November 2024

Modern Iranian women face completely new challenges in the "Information Age" (Castells). The growing development of information technologies has opened up a wide area for female activists both internationally and regionally. This is the era where they can create a completely new identity through the influence of modern technology with the synthesis of tradition and modernity as a mean of struggle against religious dogmas and defending women’s rights. The nascent stages of Iranian Cyberfeminism are traceable to the early 2000s, with the inception of women-oriented websites such as "Zanan-e Iran" in 2000 and the establishment of the first feminist website, "Trubun-e Zanan," in 2002 under the auspices of the Women Cultural Centre. In the history of Iranian cyberfeminism, the most flexible and relaxed period coincides with the presidency of the relatively liberal Hassan Rouhani. However, questions persisted regarding the mobilization and unification of masses online in a country where the Internet and social networks faced periodic, varying levels of censorship to mitigate perceived Western influences. The events surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022 altered the Iranian socio-political landscape, catalyzing large-scale protests and prompting a reevaluation of cyberfeminist efficacy in the physical realm. The mass protests of 2022-23 significantly reduced internet censorship in Iran, challenging the conventional notion of cyberfeminism. But as Mehrangiz Kar, the human rights defender and activist, says: “Iran is a paradoxical country. It creates roles under the veil of dictatorship and then suddenly appears on a big stage.” To conclude, Iran stands out in the Middle East with a rich history of women's movements that have evolved authentically from secular feminism to Islamic feminism and, more recently, cyberfeminism. The Iranian interpretation of cyberfeminism deviates from Western norms, representing a symbolic demand for freedom from compulsory hijab and an assertion of women's equality under Islamic dictatorial rule. The future trajectory of cyberfeminism in Iran and its potential impact remain contingent upon ongoing developments and the dynamic socio-political landscape.
Advertisement in the French Magazine “LE Caucase Illustré” Published in Tbilisi (End of the 19th C. – Beginning of the 20th C.)
Authors: Sanikidze George
Published: November 2024

French magazine “Le Caucase illustré” was published in Tbilisi during 1889-1892 and 1899-1902 years. The founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine was French journalist Jules Mourier. Articles about the history, art, literature, and everyday life of the Caucasian peoples were published in this magazine. These materials are more or less explored. The presented paper examines the integral and still unexplored part of this magazine – advertisements. To summarize, advertisements in the “Le Caucase illustré” can be grouped into the following categories. 1) Oil business. 2) Transport. 3) Hotels and restaurants. 4) Shops of different kinds. 5) Others (notary, translation, etc.). It is worth noting that Mourrier himself was involved in business activities. He advertised the trade of horses in the magazine and was a business broker between clients and sellers. Based on the study of advertisements published in the magazine, a complete picture of business activities in Tbilisi is created, and the role of Tbilisi in international commercial relations is also highlighted.
Türkiye’s Presidential and Parliamentary Elections 2023
Authors: Bokuchava Tamta
Published: November 2024

On May 14, 2023, Türkiye had presidential and parliamentary elections, followed by a second round of voting for president on May 28, 2023. In the parliamentary elections, the governing (AKP) and its allies secured a majority, in spite of surveys pointing to a potential opposition victory. The second round of the Presidential election was held on May 28, which was the first ever in the history of the Republic of Türkiye. In the run-off, Erdoğan defeated Kiliçdaroğlu by 52%-48%, securing a next five-year term. Erdoğan's election campaign focused on large-scale national projects, while opposition candidates highlighted everyday issues and economic challenges, particularly with high inflation and prices impacting all aspects of life. Despite the critical approach to governments’ foreign policy, opposition on a wider scale agrees with the country’s overall direction. Both sides believe that equality and mutual respect must be maintained to restore. Türkiye should work to reduce regional isolation and improve ties with Middle Eastern Allies, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Critics have highlighted the opposition coalition's failure to persuade voters that it could rule with coherence and unity despite its membership consisting of disparate parties. At the same time, Erdoğan was seen as providing stability, especially for those with fear of the PKK threats.
ETYMOLOGICAL PARALLELS: Mtskheta - mashita/masqita - dimasq
Authors: Chikovani Guram
Published: November 2024

The following article presents the etymologies of Mtskheta, Damascus (dimaâq), and the historic Syrian settlement of Maskhita (masÕ×tÁ < maâq×tÁ). The conducted analysis established a connection between them. In particular, the name of the Georgian capital Mtskheta (as well as Samtskhe) is etymologically associated with Meskheti, which probably originates from the ancient tribe of Mushks/Mosokhs of Asia Minor (cf. Biblical Meshekh). The question of the kinship of the Georgians and the peoples of the Caucasus in general with the ancient peoples of Western Asia was studied by a number of scholars (Iv. Javakhishvili, S. Janashia, N. Berdzenishvili, G. Tsereteli, K. Tsereteli, G. Melikishvili, and others). To study this problem linguistic data are noteworthy, especially the proper and geographical names of the Old East, domestic, agricultural, and lexical units of other contents. The name of the historic village Maskhita (masÕ×tÁ) near the Syrian port city of Latakia is written in Arabic using â×n and qÁf (maâq×tÁ – مشقيتا). Such written tradition reflects old, historical circumstances. The settlement must have been founded by the ancient Assyrians, hence its name is of non-Arabic origin and it, in our opinion, must be related to the tribe of Mushks. In oral speech, the substitution of ‘Mashqita’ (maâq×tÁ) with ‘Maskhita’ (masÕ×tÁ) should be explained by the influence of spoken Arabic. In ancient times, namely, in the second millennium BC, Mushks were living in the well-watered lands of Upper Mesopotamia. Their migrations have been studied. Ivane Javakhishvili considered the ancestors of the Kartvelian tribes of Mushks and Tobals as the emigrants from Asia Minor in the pre-ancient period. It should be mentioned that the Mushks from Mesopotamia created a kingdom in Cappadocia. Their capital was named ‘Masakha’, which is associated with their patriarch, ‘Mosokh’ (Josephus Flavius). The tribal name ‘Mushk’ (muâk) is, in our opinion, also found in the name of the ancient city Damascus (in Arabic – dimaâq). In Aramaic, we have dammaâq, in ancient Hebrew dammeâeq. darmeâeq is recorded in the inscriptions of Qumran. The first member in dÁr meâeq – dÁr means dwelling, and the second member – meâeq, in our opinion, means the tribe of Mushks. Thus, dimaâq (دمشق) can be translated as the abode of Mushks. The presented etymology of Damascus is proposed for the first time based on a comparative analysis of the scientific literature
The Main Characteristics of Georgian-Language Printed Products of Israel in the 70s
Authors: Guledani Lali
Published: November 2024

The present paper explores and provides the thematic classification of Georgian prose fiction published in Israel in the 1970s. It focuses on the ideological, artistic value, and linguistic features of each individual work. Georgian Jewish authors, who have been using both written and spoken Georgian all their life, after changing their social milieu strive to integrate into new linguistic environment. Therefore, new elements emerged in their written language in the 1970s, which is characterized by excessive use of Hebraisms. The printed products published in Israel in the 70s were not great in amount, and their themes and genres were not as diverse as those of the creations of the next period. Provided that the life of a Jew, regardless of where he/she resides, is regulated by religious customs and rites, one might expect an abundance of fictional works on religious themes, but, on the contrary, there are no religious works/writings among the printed products of the 1970s at all. To conclude, the study of the printed products published by Georgian Jewish authors in Israel in the 1970s demonstrates that, on the one hand, it is an inseparable part of the entire body of Georgian literature and follows its traditions, and on the other, is slightly influenced by Jewish thought and Israeli milieu.

Published: November 2024

El lector o lectora tiene en sus manos un libro de Historia cultural, es decir, de una manera de escribirla que no se interesa por héroes ni conmemoraciones, y sí por la vida cotidiana, sus significados y problemas. Ofrecemos aquí un menú de cinco ensayos, que lo mismo exploran los recuerdos de la sociedad de Los Altos de Jalisco a través de una bebida: los refrescos producidos localmente, y de una manera tradicional de producir alimentos: las huertas, como también exploran los problemas políticos en torno a la alimentación. Las taquerías de Lagos de Moreno son oportunidad de analizar diferencias de género y problemas de seguridad pública, mientras que la historia del pulque nos muestra que el racismo y el clasismo pueden alcanzar el trabajo científico, y la capirotada que serviremos de postre, de la dificultad para separar lo religioso de lo político y de la forma en que se construyó la identidad regional.
The experience of embodiment scale: Development and psychometric evaluation
Authors: Piran Niva , Teall Tanya , Counsell Alyssa
Published: November 2024

The construct of embodiment captures a broad range of experiences of living in the body. The present program of research involved developing and evaluating a fully structured measure of the experience of embodiment construct, the Experience of Embodiment Scale (EES), via four independent samples of women. Study 1 (N = 92) provided initial support for the internal consistency and convergent validity of the EES. Study 2 (N = 412) involved factor analyses of the EES, leading to the emergence of 6 factors, reflecting different aspects of the experience of embodiment. Further, this study supported the internal consistency of the EES and its subscales, as well as its construct and discriminant validity. As expected, the EES correlated with measures of body- and self-esteem, body connection, sexual assertiveness, among other measures, and did not correlate with the Perfectionism Personal Standards Scale. Study 3 (N = 348) confirmed the factor structure of the scale from Study 2. Study 4 (N = 76) demonstrated that EES scores were stable over a 3-week period. The EES can be used by researchers and clinicians interested in capturing individuals’ range of experiences of living in their bodies, both positive and negative.
Expanding the social lens: A quantitative study of the developmental theory of embodiment
Authors: Piran Niva , Teall Tanya , Counsell Alyssa
Published: November 2024

The developmental theory of embodiment (DTE) is a research-based theory of social factors that shape the experience of embodiment, a construct that is strongly correlated with body esteem and body appreciation. The DTE is anchored in prospective and retrospective qualitative research studies with cisgender girls and women of diverse backgrounds. This paper describes the first comprehensive quantitative study of factors in the social environment the DTE delineates as shaping the experience of embodiment involving a cross-sectional design, among 412 cisgender women. The 13 quantitative social factors correlated positively with the Experience of Embodiment Scale and accounted together for over 60% of its score variance. The findings of significant positive correlations between all social factors and of a large shared variance amongst these factors in a simultaneous multiple regression predicting the experience of embodiment are in line with the DTE and with a multi-level model of causality central to public health perspectives, whereby social structures and positions, such as those related to gender, shape multiple lower-level protective and risk factors. Future studies of the theory should include prospective designs with samples of varied backgrounds along different dimensions of social location.

The article analyzes the destruction of social infrastructure, highlights the scale of destruction and damage from the largest to the smallest in the context of the regions of the country. The main reasons for the loss of well-being of the population of the occupied territories and regions where hostilities are taking place are disclosed. The loss of jobs, a decrease in employment supply, an increase in unemployment are characterized; in monetary terms, the damage caused to social institutions, educational institutions, health care institutions, boarding schools, schools, orphanages, and pre-school educational institutions is determined. It is also determined that during the period of the study, the number of internally displaced persons in need of the State support in the form of social benefits has increased; the number of people with disabilities, orphans, and family members who lost their breadwinner as a result of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine has increased too. Attention is focused on the region of the country where internally displaced persons who need constant financial support to pay for temporary housing, child support payments, and benefits to persons with social status are mainly settled. It is concluded that the destruction of social facilities, the use of which is an urgent need in today’s conditions, has caused large movements both within the country and migration processes of the population abroad, which has a rather negative impact on the socioeconomic development of the country, therefore, it is necessary to start intensive measures and search for ways to solve urgent problems. Governing bodies at all levels should focus on the development of programs for the return of Ukrainians to safe regions of the country for the reconstruction and development of lost infrastructure, business development and relocation, stimulate the able-bodied population to work through a system of decent wages, and involve veterans and people with special needs in various types of work
Methodological Approaches to Assessing the Socioeconomic Resilience of Systems
Authors:   Institute of Regional Research named after M. I. Dolishniy of the NAS of Ukraine, Leshchukh Iryna V.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the methodological approaches available in the scientific discussion to assess the socioeconomic resilience of systems. The study is based on a review of the literature, including the analysis of scientific articles and works on resilience, socioeconomic components of this conception and indexing of resilience. Approaches to assessing socioeconomic resilience offered by research foundations and international organizations, such as the Peace Foundation, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation, FM Global, and the Institute for the Study of the Future-Oriented Economy, are analyzed. It is stated that in the scientific literature, as well as in the research materials of analytical organizations, socioeconomic resilience is considered as a multifaceted concept and is assessed mainly by the index method. At this, different researchers use different sets of input parameters to calculate resistance indices, but the stages of their formation remain very similar. The advantages and disadvantages of using the index method in assessing the socioeconomic resilience of the system are shown. In particular, these are: 1) advantages: easy comparison of different quantities that are preliminarily converted into a single scale, which is especially useful when the data have different units of measurement or scales; the ability to present data clearly, which provides an easier communication with others; the ability to track changes over time, compare the results of different systems using standardized parameters; 2) disadvantages: indices do not always reflect all aspects or details that may be important for analysis (they reflect a general idea, but may not take into account specific factors or changes in data); indices are relative indicators, so their values do not provide specific information about absolute values or quantities, which can complicate the assessment of the real volume of changes; if the composition of the index changes (for example, components are added or removed), this can affect its value and comparability with previous data; probability of distortion (indices can be distorted if the data on the basis of which they are calculated is not representative or if the selected criteria do not correspond to real conditions). Taking into view the multifaceted nature of the conception of resilience, it is proposed to assess socioeconomic resilience in a more comprehensive manner. In particular, the expediency of conducting (along with the calculation of the resilience index) an analysis of a set of additional parameters – resistance, adaptability, depth of shock, recovery period and speed, etc., is indicated. Also, content analysis was used to analyze methodological approaches to assessing the socioeconomic resilience of systems proposed by scholars, researchers, international foundations and organizations.

Published: November 2024

The introduction of innovations makes it possible to ensure a stable economic situation for the business entity – both at the level of the national financial sector and in the international financial services market. The spread of financial technologies in the world continues to evolve through the emergence of new products and services. Despite different approaches to the development of enterprises and organizations in the financial sector, the common features remain the desire for innovation, ensuring the security of the financial system and protecting consumers. The contemporary tendency towards the introduction of flexible models of response to changes in the economic environment is one of the major strategies for creating favorable conditions for the development of innovative technologies in the financial sector. The aim of the publication consists in a theoretical generalization of the international experience in the implementation of financial innovations and to develop recommendations for its implementation in domestic practice. Financial innovation technologies are an important component of the development of the national economy of Ukraine. Our country has significant potential for the development of financial technologies, but its regulatory framework still needs significant changes to create a favorable environment for innovation. Unlike the UK or the EU, where regulations are aimed at accelerating the introduction of financial technologies, in Ukraine this process is just beginning. The article analyzes the international experience in the introduction of innovative technologies in the financial sector. The experience of fintech innovations in the USA, Great Britain, China, Singapore, South Korea is considered, the features of implementation and the possibility of their adaptation to activities of the business entities in Ukraine are determined. The existing regulatory obstacles to the possibilities of generation of fintech startups in Ukraine are identified. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), which is the key regulator of the national financial sector, is gradually introducing new rules and conditions for the development of financial technologies. However, at present, the limited legal framework for cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies and other innovative solutions remains a problem, which hinders the development of such instruments. An analysis of the experience of implementing innovative technologies in the leading countries of the world proves that Ukraine already has a fairly flexible regulatory system, which creates potential advantages for the generation of financial startups, but at the same time there are certain risks of an imperfect regulatory system.

Authors:   Lviv University of Trade and Economics, Kachan Oleh Ye.
Published: November 2024

The article emphasizes the lack of a unified methodology for analyzing the processes of modernization of internal trade in view of a number of its structural characteristics, such as: organizational, economic, institutional, financial, innovative, social, etc. It is proposed to adhere to a structural-step-by-step approach to the analysis of modernization of the internal trade system. Thus, at the first stage, it is recommended to analyze the state (determination of general and specific characteristics (per person, entity, unit of area, etc.), structure (identification of ratios of selected parameters), dynamics (substantiation of growth rates of indicators) and efficiency (calculation of turnover, profitability, financial stability, business activity, etc.) of the internal trade system. The main stage of the analysis involves checking for compliance with modern progressive trends, innovation and technological activity and efficiency in the proposed main directions and structural characteristics of the modernization of the internal trade system. At the final stage, managerial decisions are made to design the modernization of the internal trade system based on: the results of identifying weaknesses; identification of unrealized potential; modeling of vectors for accelerating modernization; determination of factors of innovation and technological development; assessment of the quality of management; identification of means to enhance competitiveness; identification of deficiencies in ensuring socioeconomic efficiency. It is concluded that the application of such an approach to the analysis of modernization of the internal trade system provides a comprehensive characterization, on the one hand, of the functioning and modernization of the industry, on the other hand, of the efficiency of the State regulation of the processes of its development.
