Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Lazarenko M.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to define the legal nature of a technology transfer agreement, its content, and constituent elements. The subject matter of the technology transfer agreement is defined. The necessity of specifying the list of objects of intellectual property rights that can be the object of technology transfer is noted. It is determined that together with the objects of intellectual property rights, the objects of technology also include scientific and scientific-applied results of know-how, which reflect a list, terms, procedure, and sequence of operations, the process of production and/or sale and storage of products. This leads to limitations in the possibilities of applying the provisions of Chapter 75 of the Civil Code of Ukraine to such agreements. The conclusion about the redundancy of the list of mandatory provisions of the technology transfer agreement, as well as the risks, the occurrence of which may be a consequence of the lack of reflection in the technology transfer agreement of each of these mandatory provisions (such an agreement could potentially be considered as voidable). It is determined that specific essential terms of the technology transfer agreement specified by law should be the subject of separate agreements and not be part of the transfer of property rights to the technology or its components. From the standpoint of legal doctrine, the available legal approaches to understanding the essential terms of technology transfer agreements are analyzed, and the reduction of the list of mandatory provisions of technology transfer agreements by making amendments to the legislation of Ukraine is substantiated.

Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the negotiation process in the multilateral (within the framework of the UN Security Council, the European Union) and bilateral (direct parties to the conflict and related parties, the UN and countries that supply contingents to UN peacekeeping operations) formats regarding the formation of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon -II (UNIFIL-II) in 2006. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of two approaches to resolving the conflict that arose in connection with the Israeli military operation in 2006 against Hezbollah and accordingly the approach to the formation of peacekeeping forces (regarding their composition, mandate, operational command), which were represented by Israel, the United States, Britain on the one hand, and Lebanon and France on the other. It has been proven that the formation of UNIFIL-II was the result of reaching compromise in the negotiation process.
"PERSONAL FACTOR" INFLUENCE ON THE FOREIGN POLICY DECISION-MAKING IN THE PRESIDENT W. CLINTON ADMINISTRATIONS
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lviv, Ukraine, Pyk S.
Published: June 2024

The article is dedicated to the research of "personal factor" influence on the foreign policy decision-making during the President W. Clinton two administrations. The essence of "personal factor" is synthesized within the Five Factor Model of personality designated by American psychologists R. McCrae and P. Costa-jr. with additional help of psychobiographical investigations on the President W. Clinton, his leadership style, management capacities and personal skills, produced by American political psychologists and psychoanalysis experts such as J. Gartner, J. Post, S. Renshon, M. Hermann, W. Weintraub, D. Winter and others. The main dimension of W. Clinton personality – "openness to experience" strengthened by high scores in "extraversion" directly reflected in the kind of foreign policy decisions his presidential administrations made. It was quite evident during the Northern Ireland problem negotiations, the appeasement of Balkan states with diplomacy backed by force, and promoting efforts for the Israeli – Palestinian dialog. Those international issues were too complicated to deal with and President W. Clinton was trying hard to find specific approach for breakthrough. He was eager to study all the available information, go detail after detail to understand the case better, take into account his staff ideas and proposals calculating eventual risks and analyzing perspectives of possible moves, so that the U.S. foreign course was optimal and effective. The President was flexible in his point of view and could change it according to the new developments or under the influence of his closest advisors, and he also could take risks in order to get things done his way. As an achievement-motivated person, in relations with foreign leaders W. Clinton used his diplomatic talents, almost unique intellectual capacity and absolute awareness of the matters he dealt with, self-confidence and ability to convince. With such personal traits he managed to become the first foreign leader who had won a compromise among British and Irish authorities and Northern Ireland representatives (Good Friday Agreement of 1998). He made the USA an arbiter of international conflicts having stopped bloodshed and restoring peace in Balkans as well as persistently promoting peace process in the Middle East (Wye River Memorandum of 1998).

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of people's lives around the world. Restrictions on movement and social distancing have influenced consumer behavior and the emergence of various consumer trends, one of the most important of which is working from home. The main objectives of this study are (1) to identify changes in consumer behaviour in the purchase, preparation and consumption of food during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) to investigate the impact of the work model on food consumer behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey was conducted among a convenient sample of 625 respondents in the Republic of Croatia. The food categories in which consumption increased the most were flour, vegetables, and fruits, while the greatest decrease was in alcoholic beverages and in the category of sweets and salty snacks. The study confirms that work model during the COVID -19 pandemic influenced some aspects of food consumer behavior. Consumers who worked from home were more inclined to go to the grocery store less often, they tended to make more planned purchases, buy larger quantities of food and stocked up on food; they also placed more importance on the time available for food preparation compared to consumers who worked in the office. The findings suggest that uncertainty and exposure to risk have shaped the way consumers buy food, prepare, and consume food, but only with time will we be able to determine which changes in consumers are temporary and which persist over the long term.

Innovative Techniques for Optimizing Supply Chain Operations
Authors: Mallesham Goli
Published: June 2024

Supply chain management is an approach used by firms to ensure that their business can be highly effective, and profitable and that operations run smoothly. This involves managing the movement of raw materials inwards and finished goods outwards. Logistics is a key component of this. It also involves managing the flow of products between companies, which can involve the movement of products between a manufacturer, a wholesaler, and a retailer. Supply chain management is therefore the integration of these flows between companies. Several innovative techniques can be used to optimize supply chain operations, particularly given recent advances in information technology. The function of logistics is known as activities that are related to the flow of products between companies, such as the transportation and warehousing of goods. Activities that take place within companies, such as inventory management and materials handling, are not considered to be logistical activities but part of the supply chain. The level of interest in supply chain management has risen quite dramatically over the last few years. This is partly due to advances in information technology, which have enabled closer integration of the supply chain. As well as increasing competition between companies, on both a national and an international level, has led to an increasing emphasis on the need for companies to concentrate on their core competencies, and to look to outside suppliers to provide other goods and services. This has led to the increased use of external suppliers.

Published: June 2024

Speed and accuracy of decision-making at the operational and tactical levels are critical in warehouse management. This paper conceptually presents decision support systems (DSS) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) at two levels – embedded warehouse management at the operational level and extended warehouse management at the tactical level. For enhanced efficiency, suggestions are categorized at the tactical level into system-front-end/back-end-heavy lifting, other back-end system suggestions, and system extensions. Several AI technologies such as expert system rule engines, machine learning models, and natural language understanding models can be applied at both levels. Efforts required for data preparation and model training are highlighted.
Warehouse management takes place in a dynamic environment. New inventory arrives, and orders for shipping out inventory are constantly issued. There is a large number of decisions to be made regularly to coordinate the flow of materials in and out of a warehouse. Speed and accuracy of operational and tactical decision-making are important in warehouse management. This paper begins by discussing decision support systems (DSS) enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) for efficient decision-making at both the operational and tactical levels. Subsequently, several AI technologies that can be applied to offer intelligence at both levels are discussed. Throughout the paper, suggestions are made about how to apply these technologies to enhance efficiency. Furthermore, the effort required in terms of data preparation and model training is discussed. The pathways presented are only feasible with a supporting, intelligent IT infrastructure. Intelligence needs to be built not only within the warehouse system but also extended out to the surrounding ecosystem. The paper wraps up by either highlighting or reiterating the suggestions and insights to help stakeholders make the most of the possibilities AI offers for decision-making in warehouse management. With the rapid growth of e-commerce, flexible, adaptable AI-driven DSS could be the solution needed to help warehouse management keep up with the ever-increasing pace and dynamism of the industry.

On Re-Constructing the National Identity
Authors: ABOUYASSINE Brahim
Published: June 2024

The process of constructing a national identity goes through a set of formulas that suggest a particular given definition based on different belongings and perspectives. Deciding on a definition of a nation reveals the extent to which definitions are perceived as suggestive, but not finite endings. The present article debates the national identity construction and discusses the broader sources of approaching national belonging. The article’s objectives target a review of the distinction between the factual and mythical formulation of the concept. It also decodes the basics which a national identity is constructed upon. In light of the postmodern theoretical background, the article examines and reintroduces the conceptualisation of a nation taking into consideration the systematic process over which the nation has ended up being approached similarly. Structurally, the article, first, dissects the primordial pillars of proving a nation’s existence. Consecutively, it scrutinises the foundational dependances in drawing the bottom lines throughout the national construction. The article’s concluding debates on broaching the minorities' re-articulation of the national identity. The paper results in the incredibility of the defining process which imposes certain criteria to confine given notions. It also closes with a suggestion to reframe the national correspondence that leaves room for minor representations to articulate their positions in an attempt to build up a national identity.

Andropauza czy kryzys wieku średniego
Authors: Jarecka  Karolina , Bielawska-Batorowicz Eleonora
Published: June 2024

Monografia dotyczy psychologicznych i społecznych skutków zmian hormonalnych doświadczanych w okresie średniej dorosłości – andropauzy, która zdecydowanie rzadziej niż menopauza jest przedmiotem badań nauk społecznych. Główny nacisk położono w monografii na biologiczne aspekty andropauzy oraz społeczne i psychologiczne uwarunkowania doświadczeń w tym okresie, menopauzę uwzględniając jedynie jako kontekst do porównań. Charakteryzując andropauzę zwrócono uwagę na kontrowersje wokół terminologii i kryteriów jej rozpoznawania, a także na różnorodne psychospołeczne konsekwencje i zmiany w funkcjonowaniu mężczyzny, w tym na jakości życia w okresie średniej i późnej dorosłości. Badania własne, przeprowadzone z udziałem mężczyzn w wieku 45–68 lat, wskazały na wzrastającą z wiekiem intensywność objawów andropauzalnych – głównie seksualnych i naczynioruchowych oraz związek intensywności objawów z ogólnym stanem zdrowia i stylem życia. Zaangażowanie w różnorodną aktywność, zawodową i pozazawodową, dobre relacje w związku partnerskim oraz pozytywna postawa wobec andropauzy i starzenia się charakteryzowały mężczyzn o zdecydowanie mniej intensywnych objawach andropauzalnych.
Narodziny medium
Authors: Staszenko-Chojnacka Dominika
Published: June 2024

Tematem książki jest analiza przemian kulturowych sprawiających, że gry wideo zyskały w Polsce status osobnego medium przynależącego do kultury popularnej. Publikacja zawiera także analizę kształtowania się tożsamości polskiego użytkownika gier. Zjawiska te z największą intensywnością występowały w okresie od drugiej połowy lat 80. XX wieku do końca lat 90. XX wieku, dlatego istotną funkcję w badaniach pełnią polskie czasopisma hobbystyczne wydawane w tym okresie. Treść tychże magazynów wpływała bowiem na kompetencje nabywane przez graczy, wiedzę o interaktywnym medium, a także oczekiwania względem elektronicznej rozrywki.
W pierwszym rozdziale przedstawiono metodologię przeprowadzonych badań, korzystając z koncepcji habitusu, pola oraz kapitału kulturowego Pierre’a Bourdieu, a także analiz przeprowadzonych przez Graeme’a Kirkpatricka i Jaakko Suominena, którzy opisali, w jaki sposób czasopisma brytyjskie oraz fińskie wpłynęły na formowanie specyficznego dyskursu dotyczącego gier wideo. Omówiono związek pomiędzy treścią czasopism hobbystycznych a ich wpływem na rozwój szeroko pojętej kultury gier. W części tej zawarto też komentarz odnoszący się do różnic pomiędzy ówczesną prasą dla graczy wydawaną w Europie Zachodniej a polskimi magazynami powstającymi w okresie transformacji ustrojowej.
W kolejnych rozdziałach książki opisano, jak polskie czasopisma hobbystyczne realizowały funkcję edukacyjną poprzez publikowanie artykułów na temat korzyści płynących z kontaktu z grami wideo, ale także tekstów poświęconych specyfice medium, dzięki którym czytelnicy zyskiwali kompetencje pozwalające na ewaluację interaktywnych produkcji, stosowanie charakterystycznych pojęć i terminów określających gry oraz umiejscowienie ich wśród wytworów kultury popularnej.
