An active search for means of the optimization of the educational process on art specialties determines professionals’ appeal to the problems associated with the reformation of higher education in Ukraine, in particular, bringing curricula and programs in line with new industry standards. One of the current trends in the development of choreographic art is a competition, which has become the most active in the period of independence of our state. The main purpose of most choreography competitions is to promote dance in its various genres among the general public. The development of modern competitive choreography encourages applicants for higher education to master the technology of design and implementation of their own competitive choreographic compositions. This task should be solved within the educational process through the elective courses of the applicant. The course «Preparation of Concerted Numbers» is aimed at mastering theoretical and practical knowledge of the design and practical integration of a choreographic concerted number. Peculiarities of work on a competitive composition are due to its specificity – it must win the viewer's attention with the help of an unexpected plot, image, originality, virtuosity and artistry of the performer, the individuality of the artist. Among the methods of the development of production competencies there are tasks for preparation for practical classes, individual classes and tasks for individual work.
Globalization and Its Brunt on Nigeria Global Economic Competitiveness: The Need for Holistic and Dynamic Strategies
Authors: Obomeghie M. A. , Ugbomhe Ugbomhe O.
Published: April 2021

Purpose of the study: The intensity of globalization has resulted in the near collapse of most manufacturing industries in Nigeria. Most products from Nigeria industries lack the ability to compete with similar products from developed countries. Such appalling competitiveness of the Nigeria economy has bequeathed untold hardship on the citizens of Nigeria. The rationale for undertaking this study is to determine globalisation's brunt on Nigeria's economic competitiveness empirically.

Methodology: The Least Square method was employed to analyse the data collected from various statistical agencies such as the Nigeria statistical bulletin, World Economic Forum report and the United Nations Industrial Development report. The data collected is for the period spanning 2006 to 2017. Microfit 5.1 Statistical software is used in the analysis.

Main Findings: The findings of the study shows that there is a negative relationship between globalization and Nigeria global economic competitiveness. The results further indicate that Nigeria’s participation in the global arena has not yielded the desired benefit associated with globalization with respect to the country’s competitiveness.

Research limitations/implications: The study adds to earlier works on economic competitiveness as a sound pillar of globalization by carving out an empirical analysis of Nigeria experience with globalization. The implications of the study's findings show that Nigeria's innovation strategies significantly lag behind the innovation strategies in developed countries.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This work put-forward a useful awareness into the existential challenge facing Nigeria and other developing economies in terms of equal capacity to confront their developmental problems as a result of globalization. The study further provides a pathway for Nigeria’s economic managers to overcome such challenges with dynamic strategies to achieve the desired benefits of globalization.
Transition Assessment of the Bangladeshi Financial Market Stress Regimes: A Markov Switching Modeling Approach
Authors: Afreen Maria
Published: April 2021

Purpose of this study: In view of the global financial crises and the ensuing consequences, this research presents the utility of demonstrating an assessment that can forecast the Bangladeshi financial market’s well-being by analysing episodes of economic crises which may prevent market distress. By graphically demonstrating eventual economic episodes in the financial sector, this study sets out to illustrate the chronological scenario of economic turning points. The scope of this research is to study the vulnerable aspects of financial instability in Bangladesh and seek possible remedies.

Methodology: The Bangladeshi financial market regimes will be constructed based on Hamilton's Markov Switching Model (1989). This paper is the first attempt in utilising a standardised methodology found in business cycle literatures so as to determine the turning points of economic episodes in the Bangladeshi financial dynamic cycle.

Main Findings: This study examines the financial crises and economic distress experienced by banks as forms of economic vulnerabilities. Thus, it describes the financial regimes of transition period movements in the context of the vulnerability of the Bangladeshi financial market sector using the Markov Switching Modeling (MSM) Approach and shows ways to possibly achieve recovery.

Research Limitations/Implications: This research focuses on the current financial episodes of the economic sector’s dynamic movements in a condensed area, while the selection of a broad financial arena of parameters results in more significant and robust outcomes.

Novelty/Originality: Further studies are needed to define and measure the financial cycle concept and its relationship with business cycles, as well as to delineate dynamic models that can offer substantial probabilistic assessments regarding changes in financial cycle regimes. This can significantly develop the capability of the financial market supervisory authorities to forecast macro-prudential systemic risks and to avoid or reduce the consequences of economic crises. This current study provides a platform for future studies in similar fields.

Post-Pandemic Perspectives of the Global Civil Aviation
Authors: Chedia Valerian
Published: April 2021

The impact of the COVD-19 pandemic on the air transport industry is huge. It is an unimaginably difficult time. The result is a significantly lower demand for air travel for far longer than predicted when the pandemic began. Most people believed the pandemic and economic situation would be improved by 2021, but as it seems, it will not. Some old airline names are likely to vanish. But, which will emerge from the pandemic in the stronger position? Could it be legacy carriers or low-cost carriers? There will be an increase in the number of airlines that require state report. Today, like the 1930s, most borders are effectively closed and despite some pent-up leisure demand, there is widespread reluctance to fly, for health safety reasons. As a result, we will have a very different shaped air industry in the medium term, where legacy airlines will have to adapt to the loss of premium traffic on which they have previously relied. Meanwhile, for many airlines, it will be a matter of how long can they “hold their breath”. A majority of airlines are going to be smaller than they are today once the coronavirus pandemic subsides. Most airlines around the world are accelerating fleet retirements, producing a fundamental reset of capacity. In this environment, the global network reach of alliances becomes more important. What will be the platform for the future growth? The air industry will confront an environmental climate even tougher than before, government involvement is inevitably going to increase, we will have to learn to live with the virus, international cooperation is very important. We will see a fundamental change in air industry. The airline industry itself has got to shrunk. Airline consolidation is inevitable.

Key Aspects of Analysis of Profit and Profitability of Georgian Winemaking on the Example of JSC “Badagoni”
Authors: Shereshashvili Bezhan , Sabauri Levan
Published: April 2021

Profit is the main goal and the ultimate financial result of the business. Profit is an absolute indicator of the business operations of an enterprise and the main source of formation of its financial resources. Profit provides a characterization of the economic result obtained by enterprise as a result of its activities and, as a key indicator for assessing the activities of the enterprise, profit contributes to an increase in production, sales and product quality. The analysis of profit indicators allows us to draw important conclusions, but does not show the level of use of economic resources by the company. It is noteworthy that the starting point of a company's financial conditions and its stable business development largely depends on the efficient use of the economic resources. For these purposes, the relative rate of return – profitability - is used, which is calculated on different bases, for example: indicators of operating expenses, total expenses, average annual value of assets, capital employed, etc. The profitability analysis improves the results of the performance analysis, since it is the profitability ratios that characterize the level of efficiency of the resources used. Considering all the above, we can say that profitability is also a strong indicator of the quality of the assessment of the management of enterprise, since it determines how purposefully the management uses the economic resources of the company. Thus, the main task of management is to guide and control the indicators of the profit and profitability. In this article, a study of the main issues of the analysis of profit and profitability was carried out on the basis of the audited financial statements of the JSC “Badagoni” for the production of Georgian wine for 2018-2019.

Leadership Achievements in Extreme Situations
Authors: Paresashvili David
Published: April 2021

Organizational leadership requires developing an understanding of your own worldview as well as the worldviews of others. The worldview is a composite image created from the various lenses through which individuals view the world. It is not the same as the identity, political stance, or religious viewpoint, but does include these things. It incorporates everything an individual believes about the world, combining the tangible and the intangible. The individual’s worldview is defined by that individual’s attitudes, opinions, beliefs, and the outside forces the individual allows to influence them. The worldview is the “operating instructions” for how the individual interfaces with the world. One who does not take into consideration how individuals interface with the world is in a much weaker position to lead these individuals. Furthermore, the organizational leadership requires an understanding of the composite worldview of the organization, which consists of the many diverse and sometimes conflicting worldviews of the individuals within that organization.

Published: April 2021

Outsourcing allows companies to reduce costs, which contributes to the growth of their competitiveness. Simply outsourcing is the transfer of production or business processes from one company to another that is an expert in this field. This process has both advantages and disadvantages. Outsourcing allows companies to focus on their core business, while performing non-core operations can be entrusted to outsourcers who are professionals in this field. Globalization has led to an increase in the quality of outsourcing. Outsourcing plays an important role in the development of information technology, as large Western companies in the field of information technology transfer their research and development work to countries such as China, India and Brazil. Without outsourcing, the creative minds of these countries will not be able to participate in innovation processes and development. Consequently, by promoting the development and growth of information technology, outsourcing has accelerated the process of globalization.

The Impact of the Pandemic on the Global Economy
Authors: Tatia Gurtskaia Tatia Gurtskaia , Karlo Gurtskaia Karlo Gurtskaia
Published: April 2021

The pandemic has caused huge damage around the world. To date, more than 100 million people have been infected, more than 2 million have died, bringing us to self-isolation and causing a halt to economic activity as countries have imposed strict travel restrictions to halt the spread of the virus. The economic losses caused by the pandemic, the biggest economic shock in decades.
The economic losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are largely driven by falling demand, meaning that consumers can no longer buy the goods and services available in the global economy. This situation is clearly evident in such affected areas as tourism and the hotel sector. To stop the spread of the virus, countries have imposed travel restrictions, which means that many cannot purchase tickets for holidays or business meetings. Such a reduction in consumer demand leads to the loss of planned revenue for airlines, they have to reduce the cost of flights, reduce the number of expenses. Without government support, the airline will eventually have to cut staff to cut costs, too.
Despite the difficult situation in which the world economy finds itself, there are reasons to avoid the worst-case scenario. From past crises, governments have come to the conclusion that a recession caused by falling demand can be overcome by public spending. Accordingly, the authorities of many countries are increasing the assistance of their citizens and the availability of enterprises to cash, which is necessary for the maintenance of personnel during the pandemic. In addition, as practice shows, some industries benefit even in the face of a pandemic, for example, online retail sales, whose profit in 2020 was $ 3.9 trillion, as well as retail sales of food, government and medical industries have some economic growth that provides compensation for losses.

BANK TRANSFORMATION PROCESS IN AN UNSTABLE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Abutidze Gocha
Published: April 2021

The purpose of the article is to study the process of transformation of banks in an unstable global environment and determine the prospects for the future.
The unstable global environment is a complex dynamic system that requires rapid changes within the bank itself to adapt. Banks are changing, adapting to an unstable global environment and demonstrating the ability not only to withstand adverse factors, but also to seize opportunities to improve efficiency.
The peculiarity of the transformation of commercial banks in an unstable global environment is that they must act faster than competitors, improve efficiency in order to compensate for the negative impact of the unstable global environment, achieve coordination to adapt to the internal and external environment, cooperate with fintech companies, introduce innovative technologies, master new innovative directions.
We think the future of banking is collaboration between traditional banks and neo-banks, especially given the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain profitability in the unstable environment by independently developing and offering a complete range of traditional financial services and products.

Optimum Commission Rate of the Hotel Paid to the Chartered Travel Operator
Authors: Chen Chi-Jen
Published: April 2021

This study aims to derive the optimal commission rate paid by the hoteliers to the chartered travel operators in order to maximize the profit of the hoteliers. This study uses the theoretical maximization model of the manufacturer's production theory of economics. The optimum commission
rate of the hoteliers paid to the chartered travel operators is derived and has been proven to exist, and its value is never larger than 1/2. The maximization profit of the hotels can be obtained. This article is novel in two respects. First, this article proposes that the commission rate
is a decision variable determined by the hoteliers, not a constant as the previous studies assumed. Second, the sales channel issues of the hotel, other than the OTAs, such as the chartered travel industry have hardly been discussed. This article explores the issue of the optimum commission
rate paid by the hotels to the chartered travel operators.
Tourism Productivity Indicators In a Multiactivity Framework
Authors: Walheer Barnabe , Zhang Linjia
Published: April 2021

Measuring productivity has been a hot topic in tourism research recently. This research note suggests a tailored productivity indicator capable of dealing with two important features of the tourism suppliers. First, it takes the economic objective of the tourism entities into account,
which better reflects the targets of tourism entities. Second, the indicator provides a suitable tool for evaluating performance of tourism suppliers under multiple activity scenarios, which better matches the characteristics of tourism services. The empirical illustration to the Chinese star-rated
hotel industry highlights the advantages of the suggested indicator for the tourism industry. In particular, we find that Chinese hotels present better performances over time, but not for every activity. This indicator can also be applied to other tourism-related industries.

Authors: Sinha Avik , Sengupta Tuhin , Mehta Atul
Published: April 2021

It has been seen in literature that shadow economic activities is a determinant of tourism. In the background of poor enforcement of law and incidence of corruption, it has been hypothesized that tourism development might be a determinant of shadow economic activities. In this study,
we analyze how tourist arrivals and development of shadow economy are associated in Thailand, following a frequency-domain causality analysis framework. Through wavelet coherence, it has been found that there exists comovement between tourist arrivals and development of shadow economy in the
short run, while the long-run coherence can be seen during the posttsunami period. By employing waveletbased causality analysis, bidirectional causal association has also been found between tourist arrivals and development of shadow economy across different frequency levels. In order to promote
sustainable tourism, the government should have a control over the black-market activities, and encourage people–public–private partnerships to enhance the informal economy.

Dielectric-Barrier-Discharge (DBD) plasma actuators are one of the recent research topics that has caught worldwide attention. Plasma actuators are typically used in the aerospace field of study for their flow control and wide usage of different types of plasma actuators. DBD plasma actuator is an immobile actuator that able to be utilized for its flexibility and light weight parts. Due to the wide usage of DBD plasma, it is also able to be useful in the field of combustion in terms of air flow control. In this research, the DBD plasma actuator is tested on its ability to be applied in micro combustors based on the air flow controlling aspect, the temperature of plasma and effects of vibration of plasma. Experiments were performed in the wind tunnel with smoke generator to show the flow separation by DBD plasma actuator while infrared camera and accelerometer were used to sense the temperature and vibration respectively to investigate the effects of DBD plasma actuator on these aspects. Results shows that the plasma generated has minimal effects of the flow characteristics whereas the temperature of plasma has a maximum of 90?celcius when it is generated continuously. The vibration results indicate that generating plasma produces a small amount of vibration.

The prediction and application of Polyurethane Foam in developing roofing sheets cannot be over-emphasized when considering the environmental changes coursed by thermal radiation. This paper presents an artificial neural network application to model and predict the indoor temperature resistance of polyurethane (PU) roofing in residential buildings. The study employed a data logger to measure the indoor and outdoor temperatures for three simulation environments (i.e., morning, afternoon, and evening) for two hours each. Furthermore, the authors employed the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to transform and predict the indoor temperature obtained in the residential building's polyurethane roofing house. The result shows that the PU roofing system could absorb the heat and reduce the house model's temperature with 6.9% in the morning, afternoon 15.8%, and 6.8% in the evening when compared with the temperature outdoor environment. The ANN was also able to train, test, and validate the experimental temperature results with 92.86%, 93.92%, and 95%, respectively. The mean square error and a testing error occurs at 0.1707 and 0.1689. Therefore, this study concluded that ANN's application in predicting the thermal insulation material such as the PU roofing system is highly efficient and will increase the manufacturer's performance evaluation. It has also created significant awareness of the community in employing the PU roofing system for residential buildings, which will reduce the rate of energy consumption in buildings.

The use of an activating agent in chemical activation of activated carbon (AC) production is very important as it will help to open the pore structure of AC as adsorbents and could enhance its performance for adsorption capacity. In this study, a pyridinium-based ionic liquid (IL), 1-butylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, [C4Py][Tf2N] has been synthesized by using anion exchange reaction and was characterized using few analyses such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FTIR. Low-cost AC was synthesized by chemical activation process in which rubber seed shell (RSS) and ionic liquid [C4Py][Tf2N] were employed as the precursor and activating agent, respectively. AC has been prepared with different IL concentration (1% and 10%) at 500°C and 800°C for 2 hours. Sample AC2 shows the highest SBET and VT which are 392.8927 m2/g and 0.2059 cm3/g respectively. The surface morphology of synthesized AC can be clearly seen through FESEM analysis. A high concentration of IL in sample AC10 contributed to blockage of pores by the IL. On the other hand, the performance of synthesized AC for CO2 adsorption capacity also studied by using static volumetric technique at 1 bar and 25°C. Sample AC2 contributed the highest CO2 uptakes which is 50.783 cm3/g. This current work shows that the use of low concentration IL as an activating agent has the potential to produce porous AC, which offers low-cost, green technology as well as promising application towards CO2 capture.
Boundary Layer Flow, Heat and Mass Transfer of Cu-Water Nanofluid over a Moving Plate with Soret and Dufour Effects: Stability Analysis
Authors: Najib Najwa , Bachok Norfifah
Published: April 2021

Our main focus in this paper is to investigate the effects of Soret and Dufour known as thermodiffusion and diffusion-thermo on moving plate in copper water nanofluid. The set of partial differential equations are converted into set of ordinary differential equations using the appropriate similarity variables before being solved numerically using bvp4c code in Matlab software. The results of heat and mass transfer, temperature and concentration profiles on Soret as well as Dufour effects are presented graphically. Soret effect increases the heat transfer rate at the surface while Dufour effect decreases the mass transfer rate at the surface. Since the solutions exist in dual, we carry out the stability solutions to determine which solution is stable and hence the physical meaning is realized physically.

Published: April 2021

Titanium (TiO2) has been studied and proved to be the most ideal photocatalyst due to several aspects such as high photoactivity, thermal and chemical stability, relatively inexpensive and non-toxicity. As the problem statement, the photoactivity and optical stability are the crucial aspects to synthesize an ideal photocatalyst. These aspects can be improved through the synthesize method to enhance its nanocrystal crystallinity. The purpose of this research is to synthesize the high crystalline silver-titanium (AgTiO2) nanoparticles and study its photoactivity and optical properties. The Ag-TiO2 was synthesized through the modification of caustic hydrothermal method and molten salt doping process to dope the silver nitrate (AgNO3) as a dopant agent. The photoactivity performance of high grade TiO2 and high crystallinity Ag-TiO2 were examine via a Methylene Blue Degradation (MBD) testing under both visible light and UV light. The optical properties were measured through the Surface Area BET (SBET) and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). The UV-Vis results show that the 0.01%-Ag-TiO2 sample has a lowest band gap with 2.6eV compared to the commercial TiO2 (P25) and other samples. The SBET analysation shows that, the biggest surface area was formed in 0.05%-Ag-TiO2 followed by 0.01%-Ag-TiO2, un-doped TiO2 and 0.03%-Ag-TiO2. For the MBD-testing, the high crystalline Ag-TiO2 was performed a better photoactivity compared to the high grade TiO2. The 0.05%-Ag-TiO2 has the best crystallinity and morphology growth compared to 0.01%-Ag-TiO2 and 0.03%-Ag-TiO2 doping samples. The results obtained proves that, the presence of silver dopants was successfully improved the nanocrystal crystallinity of Ag-TiO2 and influenced its photoactivity performance.
