Authors: Klesa Jan
Published: November 2022

This paper is focused on the preliminary design of an electric fan for light-sport aircraft. Usage of electric motors brings some advantages compared to piston engines, especially small size and the independence of power on shaft RPM. A 1D compressible fluid flow model is used for the determination of the performace. The influence of various system parameters is analysed. Results for the case of the UL-39 ultralight aircraft are presented. Finally, input parameters for the fan design are determined according to this analysis. This can be then used as input data for the standard fan (axial compressor) design procedure.

Leadership Coaching: Are We Missing the Alchemy?
Authors: Forbes Raymond L.
Published: November 2022

In an era characterized by fear, uncertainty and doubt Leadership Coaches now find themselves operating on more difficult and unfamiliar terrain. Enabling their clients to cope, survive and thrive in such tenuous conditions offers a significant professional challenge. This paper offers an unusual supplemental approach to more conventional and traditional coaching methods. Utilizing principles derived from the ancient field of alchemy, as well as from modern neuroscience, this article provides both new ideas and guidance to the practitioner of leadership coaching. Beginning with a guided imagery, this piece will then cover the connection between alchemy and leadership, followed by alchemy’s relationship to leadership coaching. The article will next review some relevant findings from contemporary brain science focusing, in particular, on the role of the unconscious mind. The ensuing section provides some ideas for what Leadership Coaches might consider doing differently to be more effective in working with their clients. The article concludes with a short summary and discussion of future implications.

With the progress of industrialization and urbanization and the successful completion of the battle against poverty in 2020, China has achieved a feat in the history of poverty alleviation, and this is followed by a critical period for winning the battle against poverty and realizing the goal of rural revitalization. The first thing to solve is the problem of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". In the problem of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", what is more difficult is how to effectively use the idle homestead land and how to better solve the phenomenon of wasted land resources. In view of this, this paper tries to explore the feasible method suitable for revitalizing idle rural homestead in Guangdong Province from the successful cases of local trial sites as the basic data, starting from the idle homestead. It provides a feasible way to revitalize the idle rural homestead in most areas of our province to achieve long-term poverty alleviation. This article is arranged as follows: The first part mainly explains the economic development analysis under the background of rural revitalization, the second part mainly analyzes the utility of the homestead for rural revitalization, the third part analyzes the current situation of poverty-stricken villages in the province, the fourth part introduces our path analysis of revitalizing homestead under rural revitalization, the fifth part is to provide the conclusion of revitalizing the homestead for reference.
An Investigation of the Emotional Balance inventory
Authors: Thackerson Emery K. , Jones Ian T. , Baker Megan E. , Grice James W.
Published: November 2022

Using experience sampling methodology, this study investigated the scaling format and validity of an alternative affect measure, the Emotional Balance Inventory (EBI). Signaling occurred twice per day for a week, directing undergraduate students (n = 79) to report the frequencies of their emotions using either a dichotomized or Likert scaled format of the EBI. At the conclusion of the daily ratings, participants completed two measures of psychological well-being. Results revealed little evidence in the distinction of the response formats, and there was marginal evidence supporting the monotonic relationship between the affect measure and psychological well-being measures. External validity and generalizability are discussed, along with implications for future research utilizing clinical populations.

Суштина на хармонијата
Authors: Стојановиќ Лидија
Published: November 2022

The paper aims to explore the harmonious relations between man and nature, in terms of ecopsychology, representing a solutionfor pointless/deviant discussions in the field of post- and transhumanism, especially in the abnormal period of the pandemic. According to the author, the establishment of harmony is primarily contained in the “moderation” of the senses and the ratio through intuitive knowledge. The  establishment of several patterns of harmony will be considered through Honeyland ( 2019 ), the poetry of Koneski, and the eco analysis of Miljovska. The paper will examine the intuitive human abilityto establish this harmony, seen as a process of creating cosmic balance. The analyzed works manifest the harmonious relationship: human—biotope, principles of “eco-cosmos” of the local man.
Human Attitudes to Nature in Four Stories from The Decameron 2020
Authors: Sumpor Svjetlana
Published: November 2022

The Decameron 2020 started in Croatia as an online literary event in the time of the first quarantine caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulted in an e-book of fifty-two selected short stories. Its initiators and editors, Ana Cerovac, Vesna Kurilić and Antonija Mežnarić, recognized the peculiarity of the experience of living in the end times, as well as the potential for comparison of the e-book with Boccaccio’s classic, and set up an online space where authors from Croatia and the region could ( re )create or transform their experiences, or reflect upon them. This paper focuses on four stories from the collection in which nature is givenspecial significance: Algernonova osveta (Algernon’s Revenge) by Nataša Milić, Zaražena (Infected) bySunčica Mamula, Redukcije(Reductions) byAnaKutleša and 2030 byRadmila Rakas. It investigates the range of feelings and attitudes towardsnature in the time of pandemic and quarantine, as reflected in these four stories.
The Motif of Nature in Early Russian Soviet Utopian and Dystopian Novels
Authors: Božić Rafaela
Published: November 2022

In this paper the most important works of Russian-Soviet literary utopia and dystopia have been analysed to investigate the role of nature. In literary utopias, people and their needs are the measure of all things, and the image of a utopian future is the vision of a nature so subdued that the need to eat and sleep have been subdued as well. Yet authors, such as Chayanov, emphasise the importance of a coexistence with nature. Dystopian authors ( Platonov and Zamyatin ) see the meaning of nature symbolically. They see nature not only as an unconquerable force, but also as a force entirely impermissible to defeat and that should not be defeated: for Platonov and Zamyatin nature is the eternal source of all that is to come.

Authors: Filip Ivana
Published: November 2022

This artistic research was a one-year Master Performing Public Space program at Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts in Tilburg, Netherlands. Based on concepts of coexistence between nonhumans and humans, it creates new narratives with the models of utopia, symbiocene, empathy. The author, while observing a community of free-roaming cats, co-created a series of interspecies communication and utopian experiments with humans and cats. The work is inspired by the author’s close intertwining with nonhumans and continues her artistic practice based in anthrozoology. It exemplifies artistic co-creation with nonhumans, more-than-human public space geography and the potential of artistic research as a scientific discipline.
An Ecocritical Approach to Đuro Sudeta’s Mor—The Original Werewolf Legend
Authors: Brozović Domagoj
Published: November 2022

This paper outlines the main reading strategies of ecocriticism. Its main theoretical interest lies not in the pure extraction of literary motifs of Nature, but in the deconstruction of the diversity between Nature and Culture, representing Nature as the postmodern significant “Other” relating to contemporary environmental problems and thus exposing literary approaches in the past ( includingpostmodernism ) as anthropocentric. The main part of this paper focuses on the example of the application of ecocritical strategies in Đuro Sudeta’s modernist and impressionistic novella Mor, which leads to the suggestion of reforming conventional readings in traditional literary history.
A Multi-species World in the Poetry of Alenka Jovanovski and Vesna Liponik
Authors: Golež Kaučič Marjetka
Published: November 2022

The article examines selected poems that deal with the inter-species relations in a multi-species world, from the collections of poems Tisoč osemdeset stopinj (Thousand Eighty Degrees) by Alenka Jovanovski and roko razje (Eats Away the Hand) byVesna Liponik. Through the analysis and interpretation, we investigate how their poetics work when it collides with the demonization of the other and the overt or covert social and environmental speciesism. In doing so, we discuss the symbolic and active power of poetry, the poets’ critique of the binary divide between man and other beings, and their emphasis on the inherent value of animal and, in awider context, their political-economic critique of global capitalism and linguistic, symbolic, material human violence against other species and nature.
„Не я тут господар, а природа”. Екоцентричне прочитання творчої спадщини Василя Ткачука
Authors: Горнятко-Шумилович Анна
Published: November 2022

The interpretation of Vasyl′ Tkachuk’s stories from an ecocritical point of view showcases new aspects of understanding the prose legacy of this remarkable writer. Of course, the true love for the Hutsul region, one that the “proud” Hutsul people live in harmony with, one that, unlike in the works of Vasyl′ Stefanyk, is not only the cause of the Hutsul people’s extreme poverty but is sincerely loved and praised by them, is not the only merit of Tkachuk’s stories. Ecocritical dimensions of the “humble rural pictures, so touching to the core” ( Mykhaylo Rudnytskyi ) imply certain aspects of the critical literary analysis of Tkachuk’snovels, such as ethno national identity of the author and his characters, unbreakable unitywith the traditions of ancestors, apotheosis of the soil—one that not only feeds but is also responsible for the unique “national spirit” of the Carpathian highlanders, ecological awareness of the old Hutsul people and the philosophical layer of the literary legacy of the author.

Published: November 2022

Przez lata procesy odnowy obszarów zdegradowanych odbywały się w sposób chaotyczny, a idea rewitalizacji była niejasna. Przeciwdziałać temu stanowi rzeczy miała ustawa o rewitalizacji przyjęta w 2015 r. Celem artykułu jest analiza narzędzi oferowanych przez ustawę o rewitalizacji oraz próba ich oceny w kontekście możliwości zastosowania w rewitalizacji małego miasta. Ponadto rozważania dotyczące rozwiązań oferowanych przez ustawę są głosem w dyskusji na temat możliwego stopnia ingerencji w dotychczasowy porządek planistyczny. Wykonane badania wskazują, że ustawa stwarza możliwości programowania i wdrażania procesu rewitalizacji, jednak w odniesieniu do małych miast wprowadza również pewne ograniczenia, które powinny być brane pod uwagę przez władze samorządowe już na wstępie podejmowanych działań.
Scenarios as collaborative tool empowering the policymaking process. The case of MedTech sector in Europe
Authors: Ochojski Artur , Baron Marcin
Published: November 2022

In the paper, we analyse trends that impact the transition of the MedTech clusters in Europe to formulate growth scenarios and propose associated policy measures addressing the MedTech ecosystems while on their way to supporting Sustainable Development Goals. The study directly builds on the lessons learned within the S3martMed alliance, grouping the renowned European cluster organisations in MedTech. The research-oriented objectives of the paper are (i) to present the scenario method as a collaborative, knowledge-enabling tool for clusters and cluster policies and (ii) to identify contemporary scenarios for the MedTech sector willing to add value to transition paths of Regional Innovation Systems. Thus, the presented method and the paper itself are not retrospective but future-oriented to envisage new opportunities for SMEs, business support organisations, RTOs, and the users of MedTech products and services. The paper posits that sustainable ecosystems can be fostered by collaborative achievements of MedTech stakeholders on the condition that they keep on foreseeing the external driving forces to help policymakers to converge them into evidence-based policies.
Legalizing Harmful Drugs: Government Participation and Optimal policies
Authors: Arnabal Rocca Luis Rodrigo
Published: November 2022

We are currently witnessing a shift in the approach to combat traffic and consumption of illegal harmful drugs, being cannabis legalization a prominent example. In this paper, we study how to optimally regulate the market for cannabis, in a setting where consumers differ in their utility from consumption of the psychoactive component of cannabis, THC, and suffer from misperception of the health damage it causes. We analyze this problem through a vertical differentiation model, where a black market firm and a public firm compete in prices and qualities (THC content). A paternalistic government would like to correct for the misperceived health damage caused by cannabis consumption, as well as to reduce the size of the black market. It is the undesirability of black market profits what explains that the first-best allocation cannot be decentralized. We find two possible equilibria, depending on whether the public firm serves those consumers with the highest or lowest willingness to pay for quality. Paradoxically, when the public firm serves those consumers with higher taste for THC, a lower average health damage is achieved together with a better economic result for the public firm.
The rise and fall of the Liangzhu society in the perspective of subsistence economy
Authors: Yuan Jing , Pan Yan , Dong Ningning , Storozum Michael
Published: November 2022

Based on plant and animal remains unearthed from sites of the Liangzhu culture in the coastal area of eastern Zhejiang, the Taihu plain, and the eastern Jianghuai region, we conclude that the Liangzhu society was agriculture-based, practicing rice farming for grain food and animal husbandry for meat. However, the subsistence economy focusing on rice farming was unbalanced in the Liangzhu cultural area, as evidenced by the exceptionally high proportions of fishing and hunting in certain subregions. Unbalanced subsistence economy confined population growth to limited territories and may have been an obstacle to the formation of multiple centers in the Liangzhu cultural area. The collapse of Liangzhu society may also result from the absence of competitive communication between Liangzhu and other cultures. Confronting with natural disasters or social conflicts due to, for example, food shortage, the controlling elite of Liangzhu society, who had long maintained their power and prestige through a religious system, failed to cope with risks and challenges, eventually leading to the collapse of Liangzhu society (and thus the demise of Liangzhu culture).
Boot-shaped antler artifacts and prehistoric leather production
Authors: Li Moran
Published: November 2022

The first boot-shaped antler artifacts appear in the Shuangdun culture along the middle Huaihe River watershed at circa 7000 BP, before spreading out across the circum-Taihu Lake region, central Henan, and the Shandong Peninsula. Characteristic shape and use-wear marks indicate probable use as a scraping tool for leatherworking. Based on archaeological data from the Old Koryak culture in the Kamchatka Peninsula, as well as Eskimo and Native American ethnographies and contextual analysis of boot-shaped antler artifacts in burials at Sanlihe, a Dawenkou culture site, this essay argues that the boot-shaped antler artifact was likely a leatherworking tool.

Convergence of Hakka with Chinese in Taiwan
Authors: Vollmann Ralf , Soon Tek Wooi
Published: November 2022

The Hakka language and identity enjoys full public recognition as one of the cultural groups in Taiwan. Nonetheless, its usage appears to be in decline. In a series of interviews, the situation of the Hakka language was evaluated. Taiwanese Hakka has developed its own peculiarities and converges with Guoyu; code-switching with Guoyu is common. The intergenerational transmission seems to be difficult. General education promoting global/standard languages, inter-linguistic marriages, urbanisation, mass media, and the increased need for wider communication seem to be responsible for a general decline of smaller languages, even while receiving extensive preservation measures.

Results of using Luer-Lok access device for clinics, intensive care units, and emergency services with high pre-analytical errors: analysis of 491.850 samples
Authors: Menekse Elif , Duz Muhammed Emin , Avci Burak Yasin , Ozturk Alpaslan , Durmaz Mustafa
Published: November 2022

Objectives

The effectiveness of the Luer-Lok™ Access Device (LL) with the intravenous catheter (IVC) on sample rejections, which is used to prevent primarily hemolysis in the emergency department (ED), clinics, and intensive care units (ICU), was examined.

Methods

A total of 491.850 samples of eight months from Amasya University Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Training and Research Hospital were investigated retrospectively. Inpatient, intensive care unit and emergency department samples were included in the study. Pre- (BLL) and post-Luer Lok (ALL) rejection of the samples analyzed. In the BLL period, 3,463 rejection samples out of 253,818 (1.36%) in the September-December period of 2020; in the ALL period, 1819 rejected samples from 238,032 (0.76%) in January-April 2021 were analyzed for all reasons.

Results

It was determined that the use of LL significantly reduced all-cause sample rejections. In addition, a significant decrease was observed in the rates of hemolysis and clot-related rejection thanks to LL.

Conclusions

According to our study data, in patients with IVC with the LL device, the pressure brought by the syringe is mainly avoided, and reliable blood collection is achieved, similar to the routine vacutainer blood collection apparatus, and hemolysis- and clot-related sample rejections are largely prevented.
Spectroscopic characteristics and dissociation of nitrogen trifluoride under external electric fields: Theoretical study
Authors: Zheng JingYan , Xiao Kelaiti , Abulimiti Bumaliya , Xiang Mei , An Huan
Published: November 2022

The dissociation of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is an important topic of study because the molecule is a highly dangerous greenhouse gas that can persist in the atmosphere for 740 years. In this study, changes in the geometry, orbital energy, spectral properties, and dissociation properties of NF3 when an external electric field was applied were studied by density functional theory. Results show that when the strength of the electric field was increased, the N–3F bond length became longer until it broke, and the energy gap decreased gradually. The dissociation barrier in the potential energy curve gradually decreased with the increase in the electric field strength. When the applied electric field reached 0.05 a.u., the dissociation barrier disappeared, indicating that under the action of a strong applied electric field, NF3 is degraded because of fracture of the N–3F bond. When the application of the electric field was continued, the potential barrier disappeared and dissociation occurred when the N–4F bond was scanned. The stepwise dissociation of nitrogen trifluoride molecules occurred under an electric field intensity of 0.05 a.u. The concerted dissociation of the N–3F and N–4F bonds occurred at an electric field intensity of 0.09 a.u. When the electric field direction was in the negative direction of the z-axis, the NF3 dissociated but no concerted dissociation occurred. These results offer insight into the degradation mechanism under an applied electric field.
Application of the Lennard-Jones potential for calculating the surface tension and the formation enthalpy of a binary solution
Authors: Levinsky Alexander I.
Published: November 2022

In our previous work on this topic, the Lennard-Jones potential was used to derive a semi-empirical formula relating the enthalpy of vaporization of a liquid to the density of the liquid and vapour at equilibrium with it, and a very good agreement between the formula and experimental data was demonstrated. In the present work, this approach has been further developed. The purpose of this work was to apply the Lennard-Jones potential to derive a semi-empirical formula describing the dependence of the surface tension of a liquid on temperature, as well as the dependence of the formation enthalpy of a binary solution on its composition. Solution formation was considered as consisting of two stages: 1) removal of x moles of the first component and 1– x moles of the second component from pure liquids into vacuum; in this case, the expended energy is equal to the energy of interaction of these molecules with all molecules in the volume of these liquids in accordance with the Lennard-Jones potential; 2) their movement from vacuum to an infinitely large volume of a solution of composition x; in this case, the released energy is equal to the energy of interaction of these molecules with all the molecules of the solution. The enthalpy of solution formation is equal to the algebraic sum of the mentioned interaction energies. Since surface tension is due to the action of the same forces of intermolecular interaction, a similar formula can be used to describe the dependence of surface tension on temperature. A comparison of the derived equations with the experiment shows that the resulting equations are in exceptionally good agreement with the experimental data.
Structural and Functional MRI Data Differentially Predict Chronological Age and Behavioral Memory Performance

Published: November 2022

Human cognitive abilities decline with increasing chronological age, with decreased explicit memory performance being most strongly affected. However, some older adults show “successful aging,” that is, relatively preserved cognitive ability in old age. One explanation for this could be higher brain-structural integrity in these individuals. Alternatively, the brain might recruit existing resources more efficiently or employ compensatory cognitive strategies. Here, we approached this question by testing multiple candidate variables from structural and functional neuroimaging for their ability to predict chronological age and memory performance, respectively. Prediction was performed using support vector machine (SVM) classification and regression across and within two samples of young (N = 106) and older (N = 153) adults. The candidate variables were (1) behavioral response frequencies in an episodic memory test; (2) recently described functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scores reflecting preservation of functional memory networks; (3) whole-brain fMRI contrasts for novelty processing and subsequent memory; (4) resting-state fMRI maps quantifying voxel-wise signal fluctuation; and (5) gray matter volume estimated from structural MRIs. While age group could be reliably decoded from all variables, chronological age within young and older subjects was best predicted from gray matter volume. In contrast, memory performance was best predicted from task-based fMRI contrasts and particularly single-value fMRI scores, whereas gray matter volume has no predictive power with respect to memory performance in healthy adults. Our results suggest that superior memory performance in healthy older adults is better explained by efficient recruitment of memory networks rather than by preserved brain structure.
Exploring 19th-century Perception of “Uncanny” Music Using a Semantic Network Approach
Authors: Hentschel Frank , Cui Anja-Xiaoxing
Published: November 2022

The perception and experience of emotions in response to music listening are subject of a growing body of empirical research across the humanities and social sciences. While we are now able to investigate music perception in different parts of the world, insights into historical music perception remain elusive, mainly because the direct interrogation of music listeners of the past is no longer possible. Here, we present an approach to the retroactive exploration of historical music perception using semantic network analysis of historical text documents. To illustrate this approach, we analyzed written accounts of 19th-century perception of music that is described as “uncanny” (unheimlich). The high centrality values of “eerie” (gespenstisch) indicate that music termed as such should be highly similar to “uncanny” (unheimlich) music. We thus also analyzed written accounts of 19th-century perception of music described as “eerie” (gespenstisch). Using semantic network analyses on other expressive qualities as well as compositional features, we were then able to highlight in which way “uncanny” (unheimlich) and “eerie” (gespenstisch) music are similar and how they might be distinguished. Semantic network analysis may thus be a valuable tool in describing what compositional features were associated with particular expressive qualities by listeners of the past.
Legal Uncertainty Over Notary Protocols in Law Number 43 of 2009
Authors: Setiawan Nurwanty , Octarina Nynda Fatmawati
Published: November 2022

The storage and maintenance Minutes of Notary Deed is the responsibility of the notary as mandated in Article 1 Number 13 of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning Notary Positions. Law Number 43 of 2009 concerning Archives does not regulate the implementation of protocol archives as state archives, so that in this case it creates legal uncertainty for notaries in storing and maintaining. This research was conducted to find out whether the digitization system can be applied in the notary protocol and how the form of the notary's accountability to the notary protocol as a state archive. This research is normative research with analytical descriptive nature. It can be concluded that the digitalization system for storing minutes of deeds with electronic media explicitly does not have any statutory provisions that regulate it. The existence of this norm vacuum has resulted in the legality of the activity of making and storing minutes of deed electronically doubtful if it is applied because it is considered not in accordance with the function and purpose of an authentic deed. As for the form of the notary's accountability to the notary protocol as a state archive, in this case, it is linked based on the expiration time limit of the prosecution, which will ensure legal certainty until when a notary must be responsible for the deed he made, both accountability in criminal law and in civil law.
An Analytical Look at the Importance of a Legal Organization for the International Electronic Commerce Arbitration Body: Comparative Study between a Draft Law on Arbitration in the UAE and the French and English Laws
Authors: Alhashemi Azab Alaziz
Published: November 2022

This study provides theoretical and practical viewpoints regarding the law required to be applied to proceedings in the field of international commercial arbitration. The Emirati arbitration has been compared under UAE, French, and English laws. The regulations, rules and procedures of international arbitration bodies, institutions and chambers have also been undertaken in this study. This study presents the subject that was not covered from theoretical and practical viewpoint. By discussing the international electronic commerce arbitration body, this study provides insights for researchers, arbitrators, lawyers, judges with the emphasis given to all the English and French Arbitration Act along with the rules and regulations of national and international arbitration institutions and chambers. Similarly, the importance of this issue lies in the importance of arbitration as an alternative means to litigation to settle disputes. When the role of the arbitration board arises from the agreement of the parties to the arbitration dispute and from what is stated in the arbitration contract or arbitration document in the rules that obliges the parties to the arbitration to sign an arbitration document at the beginning of the proceedings. Therefore, proceedings begin because a party to the arbitration dispute expressed its desire to settle the dispute by arbitration, i.e. from the time of the request for arbitration until the award is issued in its final form.
Telomere fusions as a signal of term placental aging? A pilot study
Authors: Kohlrausch Fabiana B , Wang Fang , Luo Danxia , Mahn Rebecca , Keefe David L
Published: November 2022

Lay summary

The placenta plays an essential role at the beginning of life, nourishing and supporting the fetus, but its life span is limited. In late pregnancy, the placenta develops signs of aging, including inflammation and impaired function, which may complicate pregnancy. Placentas also show another sign of aging – cells with extra or missing chromosomes. Chromosomally abnormal cells could gather in the placenta if they get stranded there and/or if the cells do not separate normally. Chromosome separation goes wrong in aging cells when the DNA sequences, which protect the ends of the chromosomes, erode. When chromosomes lose their protective caps, they fuse which leads to abnormal numbers of chromosomes. In this pilot study, for the first time, we found fusions between the caps in a human placenta when it reaches full term. More studies are needed to decide whether this has an influence on how the placenta works and outcomes of pregnancy.

Studying modern organisational management models shows an increasing researchers’ interest in innovation and business transaction development in various industries based on platforms (Lew et al., 2019). Rapid establishment of platforms (hereinafter – platformisation) is defined as a process where economic, governmental and digital infrastructures are expanded into virtual ecosystems (Nieborg and Poell, 2018). However, it is important to emphasise that from the cognitive point of view, platforms can be established on the basis of an organisational structure as well; this is based on collective activities, dynamics and interconnection. The concept of the platform is interpreted as a new organisational paradigm due to changed expectations of those interested in order to increase the efficiency of an organisation (Kim, 2016). The aspect of new value generation is often compared with innovation and application of a platform strategy in organisations. In the academic discourse, value innovation has been studied for over two decades; however, researchers have found out that when competitiveness of organisations increases in various sectors, there has been a need to ensure as much as possible a position in the current market, employing less methods that require economic input that would allow to develop the quality of services or products when offering innovation. Innovation development processes used in creative industries are seen as a critical source of a long term competitive advantage (Holmquist et al., 2019). Evaluating the ability of CIs organisations to use existing resources in the market effectively, new ways and methods that give basis to general value generation through creative activities are created. Regarding both the practical and the academic need to study value innovation creation in a creative industries (CIs) platform, evaluating the context of the changing environment, the following research problem has been formulated: how is value innovation created in a creative industries platform?The work presents the analysis of academic discourse: abstract and systematic theoretical material of value innovation creation in a creative industries platform.The aim of the article is to analyse the creation of value innovation in a creative industries platform.

Growing competition in the field of culture, the need to compete in the leisure entertainment market forces museums to adapt to new conditions and rethink the structure of the institution, how exhibitions are created and presented, and other accompanying programs services. Meanwhile, museums still lack visitor satisfaction surveys, they are rarely conducted, and questionnaires help to understand the sociodemographic and social aspects of the audience but do not help the museum to find out what the visitor expected and whether the services met their expectations. Therefore, to stay creative and competitive in the marketplace, museums must consider the needs of their visitors, but at the same time keep in mind their emotional intelligence as a product and service provider. The organization’s emotional intelligence is a very important factor that can affect visitor satisfaction. The emotional intelligence of the museum employees has not yet been studied in museums with the aim of calculating whether it can correlate with visitor satisfaction with the museum. All research conducted so far has analyzed visitor satisfaction but did not consider museum staff as the most important link in the process.

The author discovered that individual (retail or mass) investors are becoming increasingly significant participants in world financial markets due to globalisation, simplification of cross-border movement of capital, technological measures to ensure direct access to trades, growth of savings and financial awareness of the population in most countries of the world, reduction of tariffs and transaction costs, expansion of the range of liquid financial instruments, and strengthening of information transparency of capital markets. It was established that in Ukraine, despite certain positive developments, regarding the activation of public investments in government bonds and the gradual movement towards the application of the technological experience of developed markets, many problems make it challenging to attract individual investors to the stock market and increase their confidence in the market tools. The paper states that certain problems (in particular, limited financial resources or low financial literacy of the population) are systemic and can be eliminated only with the general development of the national economy and capital markets. The need to reduce the financial and regulatory burden on issuers and financial intermediaries is well-founded since the supervision of non-public issuers only scatters the resources of the state and market participants, increases transaction costs, and does not provide real incentives for the development of the non-state securities market. The author emphasises the need to eliminate Ukraine’s significant lag behind developed capital markets regarding settlement infrastructure development and simplifying operations for individual investors. Considering the practice of tax relief for the investment income of individuals from transactions with state securities, the paper proposes the feasibility of introducing similar benefits for investors in securities of issuers that have been made public.

The problems associated with the total loss of the industrial potential of Ukraine, caused by the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, have deepened even more due to the intensification of migration processes and the outflow of professional personnel. The most important lever of the post-war recovery of the industry should be the rational realization of its most valuable capital – the intellectual resource. Therefore, the issue of preserving, consolidating, and developing the intellectual potential of industry has become an acute issue for our country today. The article examines the problems and peculiarities of the intellectual personnel potential development of Ukraine’s industry, exacerbated by the collapse of industrial production, the loss of qualified workers, the strengthening of migration processes, the lagging of professional education from modern production requirements, the decline in the prestige of engineering professions, and the non-availability of the priority of the STEM approach in national professional education. The authors focus on the rapid development of technologies, which increases the requirements for acquiring modern knowledge, professional qualifications, competencies, and the opportunity to receive life-long education. Ukraine’s European integration progress needs to consider the foreign experience of cooperation between education and business to improve the qualifications of personnel and support the intellectual personnel resource in implementating the policy for the development of STEM disciplines and the involvement of young people in national programs to eliminate gaps in skills and knowledge. The subject of the study is the development of proposals for state bodies regarding the preservation, consolidation, and development of the intellectual resource of industry in the post-war reconstruction of the country. The purpose of this publication is to determine how to preserve and develop the intellectual personnel potential for the post-war recovery of the industry, considering the implementation of Ukraine’s European integration aspirations regarding the development of personnel competencies, skills, and abilities.

The post-war reconstruction of Ukraine should include not only the reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed and damaged during hostilities, material objects of the industrial and social spheres, and all other aspects of the return of the population to a full life in peaceful conditions but also the improvement of social relations, particularly, relations between authorities and self-government and the population. In this context, the continuation of the decentralisation reform should lead to the completion of the formation of conditions under which residents of all settlements, which are part of territorial communities, could influence the resolution of issues of their life activities. The article aims to highlight the institutional limitations for the inclusive development of rural communities related to the representation and implementation of their interests in territorial communities and to justify proposals for overcoming them. Research methods were used: logical-historical (when highlighting the controversy of the process of establishing the institute of starosty (local leader), dialectical and abstract-logical (when analysing the institutional limitations for realising the interests of rural communities as part of territorial communities and substantiating the direction of their overcoming), monographic (when analysing the composition starosty districts). The author reveals the manifestations of the centralisation of local self-government functions at the level of territorial communities, which resulted in narrowing the rights of residents of rural settlements, especially small and remote ones, to representation and participation in solving their problems. The paper establishes the presence of starosty districts with many villages and, accordingly, limited conditions for developing rural communities. The manuscript describes the Polish experience of organising inclusive local self-government at the lower level of the administrative-territorial system and substantiates the expediency of its fuller use in Ukraine: the central place here should belong to the endowment of starosty districts, disaggregated to the level of settlement (in particular, rural) communities, with certain powers to solve their livelihoods problems and the right to use local resources. The study results can be used to improve local self-government reform in the post-war period.
