Church Feast in the Olonets Region in the Early Modern Period: An Experience in Reconstruction Based on Archival Sources
Authors: Suslova Evgenia D.
Published: January 2025

The article attempts an inquiry into what exactly was the Church feast in the Olonets region of Russia during the period from the late 1640s through the early 1680s. Drawing on the comparative analysis of materials from the archival collection “Olonets Military Commander’s Office” and 17th/18th-century census books, I examine the variety of celebrations, their participants, regional differences and interconnections, as well as the elements and constituents of festive culture and the functions of the Church feast. There is evidence pointing to the participation of peasants in Church feasts and to the fact that their family celebrations and other events of household importance were often timed to the latter. In the region where so called chernososhnoe peasantry (peasants working on state lands) prevailed and traditions of communal self-government were strong, parishes functioned both as religious and as land associations. Consequently, Church feasts meant simultaneously the time for holding celebrations, conducting important economic transactions, and administering communal matters. In ethnographic literature, there has been a rather common opinion that, among the Karelians and Veps of older times, Church feasts were special events for kin relatives only; however, I argue that it should be reassessed, since the new data attest to the presence of participants from different patronymic groups and land communities in these celebrations. In fact, Church feasts were instrumental in strengthening the positions of ethnic groups living in the region, intensifying interaction among them, and shaping local cultural traits.

Published: January 2025

The specifics of implementation of security-oriented management at domestic enterprises in the conditions of transformation of the institutional environment of their activity was investigated. The scheme of process of realization of safetyoriented management at the enterprises of construction industry was developed. The goals of safety-oriented management were specified. It was determined that management decisions are the main “driver” of security-oriented management. However, each organization has its own unique mechanism for their adoption, but in most cases such a mechanism is not formalized. It has been proved that provision of the transition from a model of intuitive response to a model of deliberated decision-making is one of the strategic priorities of safety-oriented management. For this purpose, in addition to managerial experience and manager’s intuition, it is necessary to develop an appropriate support unit of management response, which will contain the appropriate information and analytical support, mechanisms and tools. The interaction of the elements presented in the study will be due to the formation of a mechanism of strategic and tactical decisions making and appropriate information and analytical support, which will allow formalizing the system of security-oriented management of enterprises in the construction industry, taking into account current trends in the market and peculiarities of the development of the industry as a whole.
ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF CREDIT RISK OF BANKS OF UKRAINE
Authors: LARIONOVA K. , DONCHENKO T. ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: January 2025

The negative consequences of the financial crisis, political instability, which significantly weakened the banking system of Ukraine, revealed the unwillingness of most banking institutions to promptly and adequately adjust credit policy to find the optimal balance between customer needs for credit resources, lending risks, liquidity requirements, collateral requirements credit funds of business entities with real assets, etc. The processes of internationalization and globalization in the financial market exacerbate the need to reassess the role and place of credit risk management of banking institutions in the overall system of ensuring their financial stability. At the same time, banks currently incur significant losses in the absence of effective risk management systems that would identify, quantify risk, continuously monitor and control risk using modern tools based on early warning systems. Despite the measures taken by banks to reduce credit risk in their activities, the problem of improving the quality of loan portfolios of domestic banks remains unresolved, which hinders lending to the economy and negatively affects the efficiency and stability of banking in the context of profitability, liquidity, reliability (risk minimization) and development on an innovative basis. This necessitates a reassessment of theoretical and methodological approaches to credit risk management to implement the strategic and tactical goals of ensuring the financial stability of both the individual banking institution and the banking system as a whole.

The authors analyze different approaches to determining the nature of credit risks. the reasons of their occurrence and ways of elimination are defined. According to the results of the analysis of a large array of statistical material, the number of problem loans in the loan portfolios of most banks in Ukraine has been increasing in recent years, which increases the risk of reducing their resource potential and deteriorating loan portfolios. Based on the study, it can be argued that the level of credit risk of the domestic banking sector is extremely high and negatively affects the stability of the entire banking system and the economy as a whole. The reasons for this situation in the domestic banking system are various, including economic crises, low solvency, high real interest rates on loans that not every borrower can handle, high credit risk, which requires banks to form additional reserves for such loans. and this in turn reduces the equity of banks. Thus, banks should be more active in resolving problem loans, using debt restructuring and write-off mechanisms and other methods of credit risk optimization. The article emphasizes that for the effective functioning of the bank, credit risk should be perceived not only as the probability of a negative event and as a danger, but as an activity aimed at generating income. This vision of credit risk will ensure quality management at the initial stage of the bank’s relationship with the client.

Published: January 2025

Based on the study of content and structural content, it is determined that financial management can be considered as a direction of activity of the insurance company and as a management system. As a direction of activity of the insurance company financial management is an activity that covers issues related to the insurance market, its financial risk management, profitability and efficiency of the use of certain types of insurance products and services. It includes management activities related to: identifying the need for financial resources, identifying all alternative sources of funding and their evaluation; practical obtaining of financial resources and their effective use. As a management system, financial management includes: a managed subsystem (management objects), a management subsystem (management entity) and information support (information base). As a management system, financial management is a set of units entrusted with the functions of financial management of the insurance company. Based on the analytical generalization of information sources on the theory and practice of financial management and taking into account the specifics of insurance activities, the basic principles of financial management of an insurance company in today’s business environment are specified with the definition of purpose (ensuring the competitiveness and financial stability of the insurer in the current and future period), main and additional tasks and key functions. The attention is focused on the key objectives of the financial management of the insurer about changes in the external and internal environment and defines the meaning and elements of strategic financial planning activities of the insurance company (forecasting of business, financial research, forming the balance of income and expenditure, identifying strategic alternatives optimization plans, their implementation and control) as a basic direction of financial management of the insurer.

CHOICE OF ECONOMIC AND MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR LOGISTIC ACTIVITY OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, PUKHALSKA I.
Published: January 2025

Constant changes in the situation on the industry market and the growth of information requires the leaders of the food industry to use modern advances in science and technology. The most important role is played by economic and mathematical models that ensure the adoption of modern and optimal management decisions.
Every industrial enterprise is faced with the need to solve the problem of delivery of factors of production (resources and funds) or finished products simultaneously to several places or to several customers. Therefore, any modern enterprise is a complex dynamic logistics system with feedback and has a well-developed relationship with the external environment, ie timely provision of the necessary factors of production, maximally prepared for the production process, or finished products in the required quantity and range at a given levels of logistics costs.
The article considers the theoretical problems of choosing economic and mathematical models for the logistics of industrial enterprises. Describes the main reasons for the limited use of models in management decisions. The main tasks of economic and mathematical modelling in industrial enterprises and descriptive models are detailed. The process of economic research of logistics functions using economic and mathematical models can be divided into five stages. In the study of supply chains of industrial enterprises, along with balance, optimization, equilibrium, game, correlation-regression models, it is proposed to use models of functional-cost analysis, simulation, deterministic, scholastic, optimal location and determination of effective size of enterprises. In the logistics activities of industrial enterprises should use the method of systematic mathematical modelling of economic processes, which operates as a means not individual economic and mathematical models, and complexes of logically, informationally and algorithmically interconnected models.
THE ROLE OF MARGINAL PROFIT RATIO IN ECONOMIC CALCULATIONS
Authors: ORLOV O. , RYASNYCH E. ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the article is to research the role of marginal profit ratio in managerial decision making process. The detailed analysis of using of an important tool of operational analysis, which the marginal profit ratio is, is given in the article. It is proved, that the not objective interpretation of its role might lead to mistaken managerial decisions. The ways of effective using of that rate are shown, especially in price making and formation of the profitable assortment. Necessity of fully including the marginal profit ratio into the process of decision making is proven on the basis of grounded research.
This article was mainly about the role of marginal profit in the analysis of the structure of the range, but this indicator plays a crucial role in the formation of prices for new products on an anti-cost basis and target pricing. It is substantiated that pricing for new products and targeted planning without the use of the marginal profit ratio is almost impossible.
Given the above, it can be stated that the indicator “marginal profit” by type of product is calculated as the difference between price and variable costs. The price reflects the “value” of the product for the consumer, and the value of variable costs – the progressive design and technology of its production. Thus, in essence, the marginal profit ratio reflects their potential profitability, which is not distorted by the inadequate distribution of fixed costs. When distributing fixed costs in proportion to the marginal profit of the product with the same coefficients of marginal profit for any changes in the structure of the range and production volumes will have the same profitability.

FORMATION OF THE MAIN FACTORS OF THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, TSVIGUN T.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of an enterprise operating on a commercial basis is to make a profit, and for non-profit organizations – to solve within the established budget of the problems for which they are created. As a rule, organizations set and implement not one goal, but several, which are important for their functioning and development. Based on the goals, the organization formulates the tasks to be solved in the process of achieving goals. In the process of fulfilling the set goals, employees are distributed or combined according to the types of work, responsibilities, forming an organizational management structure. The presence of a structure of the organization is due to many factors: the specifics of the enterprise, which requires the performance of certain types of work; technology used to transform resources into the final product; scale of activity, etc. For many companies, technology is a major factor in the internal environment, which determines its competitive advantages. The choice of type of technology depends on the field in which the organization operates. The core of the internal environment of the organization is human resources and their professional qualities. The role of people in the organization is determined by abilities, inclinations, talents, education, qualifications, needs, perceptions, behavior, attitude to work, personal position, understanding of values, environment (composition of the group), the presence of leadership qualities and more. The growing role of the human factor gives grounds for concluding that it is necessary to form in each of them a certain organizational culture that would unite its employees. All internal factors of the organization are interconnected. Changing one of them affects all the others to some extent. Improving one factor, such as technology, is likely to change the staffing structure of employees and their job responsibilities.

Authors: BAZALIYSKA N. , KOSHONKO O. ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: January 2025

In the modern world, a person is a key resource of any organization, the choice of which will depend on the success and effectiveness of the employee and the company as a whole. This article is considered one of the branches of HR recruitment. Recruitment is considered as an innovative technology of personnel formation at an industrial enterprise. The relevance of the research of the recruitment services market is substantiated, which confirms the high and stable demand for the services of recruitment agencies. The main problems in this area are identified: insufficient quality of services, lack of professional standards, high staff turnover in agencies, low qualification of recruitment consultants, lack of statistics on the number of staffing agencies, financial and economic indicators of their activities. It identifies the place of nternal and external recruitment in the labour market system. The core, role and importance of recruitment for employers were defined; problems and prospects of its development were investigated. The algorithm of application of recruitment as optimization technology of formation of the personnel of the enterprise is formed.
Socio-political changes in the early 90’s had a strong impact on all sectors of production and services. The decline in production capacity has not only led to significant economic losses, but also caused labor imbalances in the labor market. For industrial enterprises, this had the effect of a shortage of skilled workers. Today, manufacturing professions have the status of “unprestigious”. A small number of entrants are trained in manufacturing professions. This leads to the fact that highly skilled workers reach almost pre-retirement age, and no one can replace them. That is why every manufacturing company should pay more attention to the hiring process. Summarizing scientific approaches to the definition of recruitment, we can conclude that recruitment is a set of actions aimed at finding and identifying persons who by their professional, psychological and physiological qualities correspond to the position.

Published: January 2025

The recent advancement of foundation models (FMs) has increased the demand for fine-tuning these models on large-scale cross-domain datasets. To address this, federated fine-tuning has emerged as a solution, allowing FMs to be fine-tuned on distributed datasets across multiple devices while ensuring data privacy. However, the substantial parameter size of FMs and the multi-round communication required by federated fine-tuning algorithms result in prohibitively high communication costs, challenging the practicality of federated fine-tuning. In this paper, we are the first to reveal, both theoretically and empirically, that the traditional multi-round aggregation algorithms may not be necessary for federated fine-tuning large FMs. Our experiments reveal that a single round of aggregation (i.e., one-shot federated fine-tuning) yields a global model performance comparable to that achieved through multiple rounds of aggregation. Through rigorous mathematical and empirical analyses, we demonstrate that large FMs, due to their extensive parameter sizes and pre-training on general tasks, achieve significantly lower training loss in one-shot federated fine-tuning compared to smaller models. Our extensive experiments show that one-shot federated fine-tuning not only reduces communication costs but also enables asynchronous aggregation, enhances privacy, and maintains performance consistency with multi-round federated fine-tuning on both text generation and text-to-image generation tasks. Our findings have the potential to revolutionize federated fine-tuning in practice, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding and accessibility for FMs.

BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major public health issue with high rates of morbidity and mortality in the United Republic of Tanzania. To ensure that all households remain protected, national malaria control programs and partners in 2022 implemented free mass distribution of long-lasting insecticides nets to population at risk and high prevalent regions with malaria including Lindi region. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of free long-lasting insecticide-treated nets in reducing malaria burden among the population.

METHODS: we conducted a quasi-experimental study from September 2021 to August 2022 and September 2022 to August 2023. The data were collected on District Health Information System version two in Lindi region and analysed with T-tests to compare the malaria positive rate before (September 2021 to August 2022) and after the distribution of long-lasting insecticides nets (September 2022 to August 2023). Malaria positive rate in the general population who attended outpatient department was reduced by 7.6% after distribution of long-lasting insecticides nets. A comparison of malaria cases recorded between September 2021 and August 2023 in the different area showed disparities. Before long lasting insecticides nets implementation, the malaria positive rate in all area combined was 20.6%. Whereas malaria positive rate in all area combined was 13% after implementation. The mean difference is 6.60, with a standard deviation of 2.47. The t-value is 6.55, with 5 degrees of freedom. The significance (2-tailed) value is <0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between the malaria positive rate before and after long lasting insecticides nets implementation.

CONCLUSION: the long-lasting insectides nets distribution campaign synergy with other preventive interventions has had a significant impact on reducing the malaria positive rate in the population.

LAS MÁQUINAS DE DEMIAN SCHOPF: ENTRE ALGORITMOS Y ENSAMBLAJES
Authors: Jiménez Barrera Joaquín
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo tiene como propósito reflexionar en torno a las relaciones entre sujetos humanos y dispositivos tecnológicos desde dos instalaciones artísticas: Máquina Cóndor (2006-en curso) y Máquina de Coser (2009-en curso), del artista visual chileno Demian Schopf, a través de la perspectiva crítica de los nuevos materialismos. Por medio de un breve recorrido teórico que aborda los estudios de Walter Benjamin (1936, 1983), Jane Bennett (2010), Jusi Parikka (2012, 2021), Manuel de Landa (2021), entre otros, propongo que las obras de Schopf son constitutivas de una poética del ensamblaje, en la que los roces entre cuerpos orgánicos y dispositivos tecnológicos propicia la configuración de un complejo entramado humano-maquínico. Como metodología, examino dos procedimientos discursivos de las obras que asientan dicha configuración: la escritura y el diálogo, mecanismos poéticos posibilitados por la inteligencia artificial.
SENTIDO O SIGNIFICACIÓN EN EL ARTE COREOGRÁFICO CONTEMPORÁNEO: UNA APROXIMACIÓN AL TRABAJO COMPOSITIVO DE WILLIAM FORSYTHE A PARTIR DEL PENSAMIENTO DE JACQUES DERRRIDA
Authors: Arance Isabel
Published: January 2025

El interés del siguiente artículo reside en el poder comunicativo de la danza y en su posibilidad de ser comprendida como lenguaje escénico y teatral, planteando un enfoque de la danza y la coreografía como lenguajes, no necesariamente dependientes entre sí, capaces de generar sentido, significado y, o, significación. Cuestionamos la posibilidad de que ambas disciplinas sean comprendidas como un despliegue retórico donde la configuración formal protagonice la composición escénica, sin por ello renunciar a su capacidad comunicativa; un asunto que pretende analizar procesos de creación coreográficos y dancísticos a partir de su interacción con la teoría estética y la literatura. Para la elaboración de dicho análisis nos hemos servido del pensamiento estético de Jacques Derrida, sobre el cual edificaremos las argumentaciones pertinentes, vinculándolas al hacer compositivo del emblemático coreógrafo estadounidense William Forsythe.
LOS INDIVIDUOS EN LA INTERPRETACIÓN DE LEO STRAUSS DE LA HISTORIA DE LA GUERRA DEL PELOPONESO
Authors: González Pauget Mathieu
Published: January 2025

Tucídides en su narración de la guerra del Peloponeso otorga un rol fundamental a la acción de los individuos. Para Leo Strauss esta importancia no tiene un objetivo meramente histórico. Lo que busca el autor ateniense es dar lecciones universales sobre la acción política. De esta forma los personajes son también arquetipos y es a través del estudio de estos que el aspirante a político puede aprender cómo lograr una mejor acción, además de mostrar cómo equilibrar cuestiones como la religión y la política.
