„Schau hier, alles Reichsbürger, so sehen heutzutage Nazis aus!“ Ethnografische Forschung mit deutschen Auswanderfamilien in Paraguay im Angesicht komplexer Positioniertheiten
Authors: Jaeger Ursina
Published: June 2024

Basierend auf den ethnografischen Daten einer Pilotstudie mit staatsskeptischen deutschen Auswanderfamilien in Paraguay fragt der Beitrag nach den Bedingungen der Möglichkeit, Forschungsbeziehungen aufzubauen in einem Feld, in dem die Ethnografin und die Beforschten um gegenseitige Ablehnung wissen. Anleihen an den Figuren der „repugnant others“ und verschiedenen „Modi der Positionalität“ machend lotet er aus, wie emische und etische Perspektiven in Feldern der ideologischen Ungleichheit verhandelt und dargestellt werden können. Der Beitrag bespricht dabei unter Rückgriff auf Methodenliteratur zu ethnografischer Forschung zu Fremden, Rechten, und anderen Anderen die Konsequenzen methodologischer und epistemologischer Positionierung und kommentiert partizipative ethnografische Forschungszugänge im Angesicht komplexer Positioniertheiten. Dabei werden Vorschläge für die analytischen Ausdifferenzierung von ethnografischer Positionalität unter Bedingungen ideologischer Ungleichheit gemacht und es wird für einen Methodenpluralismus in der Forschung zu (mindestens) staatsskeptischen Milieus plädiert.
Unheimlich Nah. Überlegungen zum Verstehen des Rechtsextremismus in Forschung und Sozialer Arbeit
Authors: Winter Sebastian
Published: June 2024

Die Balance von Nähe und Distanz in pädagogischen und wissenschaftlichen Beziehungen mit rechtsextrem orientierten Personen kann scheitern und das Bemühen um ein Verstehen der subjektiven Funktionalität ihrer Ideologie in einer unerkannten Perspektivübernahme enden. Die Herausforderungen für eine epistemische Haltung, die diese Dynamik verhindern kann, werden an der Akzeptierenden Jugendarbeit mit rechtsextrem Orientierten, deren Kritik und dem daraus entwickelten Konzept der praxeologischen Brechung sowie einer aktuellen Debatte in der Rechtsextremismusforschung aufgezeigt. Anschließend wird die Frage diskutiert, wie sich das (auch affektive) Mitschwingen der Forscher*innen und Fachkräfte mit der rechtsextremen Haltung – eine Teilhabe, die Voraussetzung des Verstehens ist, aber das Verstehen auch zum Verständnis verzerren kann – reflektierend bewusst und nutzbar machen lässt. Das psychoanalytisch-pädagogische Konzept des szenischen Verstehens, bzw. die Tiefenhermeneutik als sozialwissenschaftliche Methode bieten hier Antworten. Sie fordern eine produktive Konfrontation mit einer unbewussten unheimlichen Nähe zu den Forschungsobjekten bzw. Adressat*innen Sozialer Arbeit ein und nehmen diese zum Ausgangspunkt der Erkenntnis.
Ein Mord ist ein Mord ist ein Mord!? Der Beitrag akzeptierender Jugendarbeit zur Dethematisierung rechten Terrors
Authors: Fischer Gabriele
Published: June 2024

Ein rechter Terroranschlag stellt ein extremes krisenhaftes Ereignis dar – auch für die Kommune, in der er stattfindet. In den meisten Fällen lässt sich relativ schnell nach der Tat eine Dethematisierung rechter Gewalt feststellen. Für die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung stellt sich die Frage nach den Dynamiken der Dethematisierung: Wie kommt es dazu, dass die Taten aus dem öffentlichen Diskurs verschwinden? Auf der Basis einer multiperspektivischen Analyse eines extrem rechten Mordes in Baden-Württemberg wird die Rolle der mobilen Jugendarbeit für den Prozess der Dethematisierung analysiert, die in diesem Fall eine wichtige Funktion zugeschrieben bekam. Damit wird ein westdeutscher Fall diskutiert, was insofern von Bedeutung ist, als die mobile Jugendarbeit mit akzeptierendem Ansatz häufig für die ostdeutschen Bundesländer dieser Zeit problematisiert wird. Basis der qualitativ-rekonstruktiven Analyse sind Interviews mit dem damaligen Sozialarbeiter und einem ehemals rechtsorientierten Jugendlichen. Beide wurden mehr als 25 Jahre nach dem Anschlag im Rahmen eines Lehrforschungsprojekts befragt. Die Rekonstruktion zeigt, dass die mobile Jugendarbeit in diesem Fall als zentrale Problemlösungsinstanz von der Gemeinde adressiert wurde, indem die damals rechtsorientierten Jugendlichen als Hauptursache konstruiert und isoliert wurden. Die Kontrastierung der beiden Perspektiven verweist darauf, dass die mobile Jugendarbeit sich nach diesem krisenhaften Ereignis des Mordes die politischen Ziele der Kommune zu Eigen gemacht und damit mit zur Dethematisierung des Mordes beigetragen hat. Dies war unter anderem möglich, weil die mobile Jugendarbeit den akzeptierenden Ansatz anwendete, der gesellschaftliche Ermöglichungsbedingungen extrem rechter Haltungen weitgehend ausblendet und diese als Problemlage von Jugendlichen fasst. Mit diesem Beitrag soll mit einem qualitativen Zugang ein weiterer empirischer Beitrag für die Auseinandersetzung um die Dethematisierung rechten Terrors der 1990er Jahre geleistet werden.

Authors: Fischer Caroline , Neumann Oliver
Published: June 2024

As public organizations increasingly adopt agile practices, understanding their opportunities, challenges, and transformative potentials is important. This article introduces the special issue on ‘The Future of Agile in Public Service Organizations: Macro, Meso and Micro Perspectives’ and explores the evolving landscape of agile in public service, drawing from diverse scholarly perspectives. To that end, we discuss various definitions of agile in the context of government and outline the potential benefits and drawbacks of the concept. We then delve into the macro-level characteristics and impacts of agile on institutions and society, its meso-level implications regarding organizational structures, processes, and outcomes, and micro-level determinants and effects on managers, employees, and teams. Referring to theoretical streams building the basis for agile on these different analytical levels, we build a conceptual framework of multi-level agile government. We introduce the six research studies and a book review included in this special issue and position them within this framework to highlight their contributions to understanding agile at each of the three levels.

Published: June 2024

As one sort of flux modulation machine based on magnetic gear effect, field-modulated machine features with low speed large torque. A novel hybrid excitation field-modulated machine (HEFMM) is proposed by introducing the concept of hybrid excitation, the flux modulation poles (FMPs) and excitation winding of which are emplaced in stator teeth and the adjacent FMPs. It can be maintained wide speed range operation through the processes of flux-enhancing and flux-weakening with no increasing machine bulk, as well as the numbers of stator and rotor slot. The working principle of proposed machine is deeply studied, as well as basic electromagnetic characteristics are calculated by finite element method, including no-load magnetic flux linkage, no-load back electromotive force, cogging torque and output torque. In addition, the processes of flux-enhancing and flux-weakening are analyzed. Finally, one prototype with one kilowatt was built and its static characteristics were tested. The results show that the proposed HEFMM has the features of high torque density, small cogging torque and wide speed range, which is promising candidate for electric vehicle direct drive field.
HClass: Fast hybrid network traffic classification with bit and keyword level signatures
Authors: Khandait Pratibha , Hubballi Neminath
Published: June 2024

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) methods are extensively used in traffic classification. These methods extract unique application content either at byte or bit level granularity and represent them as signatures. DPI involves string or regular expression matching, which is computationally expensive, and evaluating signatures at bit-level granularity makes it even more inefficient. With the ever-increasing bandwidth and the high-speed internet traffic, the software implementations of DPI have become a performance bottleneck. In this paper, we propose HClass, a DPI-based network traffic classifier completely implemented in software to speed up signature matching. Our contributions with HClass are three-fold. First, we propose a hybrid signature matching technique with a combination of bit and byte-level signatures. Second, we propose methods to perform bit-level signature matching with byte/word level operations to cope with software implementations and be compatible with general-purpose CPU operations. Third, it uses a two-phase signature matching where first-phase signatures are short and quickly identify the potential application(s), and the second-phase signatures verify the potential application(s) to reduce false positives. We perform experiments with HClass on three datasets and report classification performance and execution time improvement of HClass with our implementations in C language.
Analysis of the influence of external factors on the deformation of high-rise buildings in the process of their construction and operation
Authors: Demianenko Roman , Annenkov Andrii , Bondar Svitlana , Kuzmych Oleksandr , Lapytskyi Ihor
Published: June 2024

During the construction and operation of high-rise buildings, their vertical axis changes its position in space. The greater the height of the structure, the greater the amplitude of oscillations. This causes problems of geodetic construction support and the need to monitor deformations during the operation of high-rise structures. In real conditions, part of the structures will be in the shade and their temperature will be lower than the structures that will be under the influence of solar radiation, the temperature of which will be much higher. Thus, the building will deform as a result of uneven thermal expansion, that is, it will bend. From DBN B.1.3-2:2010 "Geodesic works in construction". Also, during the geodetic provision of the construction and operation of high-rise buildings, changes in the temperature regime of building structures should be taken into account in connection with significant absolute values of changes in the geometric dimensions of the building as a result of thermal expansion, which significantly exceed the accuracy regulated by the regulatory document. The article examines and analyzes the influence of external forces on changes in the geometry of high-rise structures and focuses attention on solving the scientific problem of geodetic support for the construction and operation of modern high-rise structures under dynamic loads.
The problem of the structure and the soil plastic environment interaction in the conditions of dynamic evolutionary processes
Authors: Solodei Ivan , Ruvin Oleksandr , Koliakova Vira , Kulikov Oleksandr
Published: June 2024

Dynamic influences are one of the important factors affecting project decisions during the construction of buildings and structures. In the case of dynamic analysis, the range of possible variations in structural response is very difficult to determine. The complexity is determined not only by the parameters of the load itself (intensity, the law of change over time), but also by the characteristics of the research object (their values and change over time), which is an interconnected system of the structure and the soil base. Dynamic factors of influence can include periodic vibration or shock loads, the effects of explosions that cause a sharp change in pressure on the structure of the building, seismic fluctuations, etc. In many cases, the load is the result of stress waves propagating in the soil base. These factors can act on the natural environment long-term, relatively short-term, short-term and instantaneous. Therefore, the development of refined approaches for assessing the stress-strain state of structures during the interaction of the structure and the soil environment under the conditions of dynamic evolutionary processes remains an actual task today.
In order to effectively find a solution to the dynamics problems, it is necessary to possess the entire set of analysis tools, to clearly present the rules and limits of their application. The ability to correctly assess the engineering and geological conditions of the construction site, the properties of the soils, the joint work of these soils with the foundations and structures of the building has always been and remains the basis of reliable and effective engineering design.
The given statement of the problem is a theoretical basis to build the numerical approaches to the study of the vibrational processes of heterogeneous spatial bodies during their contact interaction with an elastic-plastic medium. The paper considers the modeling aspects of the structure and the soil elastic-plastic environment interaction under the conditions of dynamic evolutionary processes. The basic geometric and physical equations of the elasticity theory for heterogeneous circular and prismatic spatial bodies are given. In the range of solving the dynamics problem, the peculiarities of the mathematical model implementation, regarding the representation of the variation of kinetic energy as part of the equations of dynamic equilibrium of linear and nonlinear mechanical systems, are considered.
Application of Artificial Intelligence and Information and Communication Technologies: Socio-Ethical Problems (Review Article)
Authors: Filipenko Nataliia , Lukashevych Serhii , Andrieieva Olena , Ivanović Aleksandar
Published: June 2024

This article purpose is to reveal the essence of social and ethical requirements for the use of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence in the life of a modern person, society and the state. General scientific and special scientific methods were used to achieve the goal. Peculiarity of  analyzed topic implies mandatory consideration of rules and requirements already formulated by various social institutions and organizations in response to the challenges of digital reality. It is emphasized that existing ethical regulation of use of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence is mostly limited to framework, declarative documents indicating only general approaches and the purpose of the interaction of humanity with artificial intelligence systems, a kind of warning about possible negative consequences of the use of technologies. Despite significant overlaps in the proposed principles, the content of these norms remains almost undisclosed to this day. It was emphasized that use of artificial intelligence requires special legal regulation, as it concerns the life and health of people. Because of potential danger to civilization of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence, it is necessary to strictly license activities related to the production and operation of such systems. For this, at the legislative level, it is necessary to clearly define those responsible for occurrence of out-of-state situations, as well as to answer the question: “Is the transition of artificial intelligence from the status of an object to the status of a subject of legal relations possible and legal?”. All of the above indicates importance and significance of the chosen research goal and requires a socio-ethical understanding of the most pressing problems of applying the capabilities of artificial intelligence.
Psychophysiological Research and its Place in the Lithuanian Scientific Discourse
Authors: Malewski Hendryk , Kraujalis Laimutis
Published: June 2024

This article gives a brief overview of the development of psycho-physiological research using the polygraph. The main focus is on the legal regulation of these methods and the evaluation of the scientific discourse of Lithuanian specialists on the problems of psychophysiological research and the application of its methods in comparison with analogous processes in Poland. Already in the inter-war period, so-called lie detection attracted considerable interest, not only from the academic world, but also from law enforcement authorities. In interwar Lithuania, considerable attention was paid to the psychology of testimony and the problems of lie detection, including the apeplication of instrumental methods of psychodiagnostics. V. Lazerson, J. Vabalas-Gudaitis, B. Kalvaitis and others have written about it. It should be noted that at that time there were quite heated debates about the permissibility and effectiveness of psychophysiological tests. During the Soviet era, the issue of psychophysiological (poly-graph) examinations was not the subject of an official broad scientific discourse in the jurisdictional process, even though medical and psychological professionals cooperating with special services were interested in this issue. After the restoration of independence in 1990, the Lithuanian media interest in this issue prompted the law enforcement authorities and their specialists and scientists to look deeper into the possibility, reliability, permissibility and effectiveness of the use of these technical diagnostic tools in foreign countries, as well as into their compatibility with the Lithuanian law in the investigation of crimes. In this article, some aspects of psychophysiological tests using the polygraph in Poland have been analysed for comparison purposes, which in the neighbouring country have attracted considerably more attention, both in the academic world as well as among lawyers and representatives of law enforcement agencies.
Effect of Clown Therapy on Symptoms and Emotions of Children with Neoplastic Disease: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
Authors: Re Luca Giuseppe , Aloia Vincenza , Rippa Stefania Celeste , Tommasi Valentina
Published: June 2024

INTRODUCTION: Clown therapy is a widely used nonpharmacological intervention for the control and management of symptoms and emotions in pediatric settings. There are some studies evaluating the effect of the intervention on children with neoplastic disease, but a systematic review summarizing the overall benefit is lacking.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of clown therapy on the symptoms and emotions of children with neoplastic pathology.

METHODS: Studies (randomized or quasi-randomized parallel-group controlled trials) were searched from biomedical databases, web resources, and trial registries. The intervention was compared with standard care; primary outcomes were pain and anxiety, and secondary outcomes were fear, stress, fatigue, depression, distress, and mood. Risk of bias was assessed with RoB 2, and the overall effect size was calculated with variable effects meta-analysis. The summary of results was illustrated in accordance with the GRADE method.

RESULTS: Five quasi-randomized parallel-group trials with a high risk of bias were included (N = 376, mean age: 6.9-10.9 years). Children who received clown therapy manifested a reduction in anxiety (N = 181; SMD = -2.17 [95% CI: -4.20, -0.14], p < 0.05) and fatigue (N = 176; SMD = -2.03 [95% CI: -5.39, 1.32], p > 0.05). The certainty/quality of evidence is very low.

CONCLUSIONS: Clown therapy seems more effective than standard care in reducing anxiety and fatigue in children with neoplastic disease. However, more studies are needed to confirm the results, as the very low certainty/quality of evidence currently does not justify routine implementation of the intervention in pediatric oncology.
Clinical Implications of EMT in HNSCC: A Review of the Factors and Pathways at Play
Authors: Barath Rakesh Kumar , Vidyarthi Ajay , Dharamwat Neeti , Mishra Saumyta , Shikha Nirdhum , Kakka Nishit
Published: June 2024

_Background: _Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is effected in squamous cell cancers via activation of the cadherin switch. Activation of the switch results in decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased expression of N-cadherin. This results in loss of cell-cell adhesion and cellular polarity and allows the tumour cells to metastasise.

_Aims_ _&_ _Objectives:_ This systematic review was carried out to find the clinical implications of EMT in HNSCC and bring together the molecular, genetic, and epigenetic pathways found to be acting on the cadherin switch.

_Materials & Methods: _An extensive search for relevant papers was made on PubMed, Medline, and Google Search. Only good-quality studies pertaining to epithelial–mesenchymal transition in oral cavity cancers in humans were selected. Furthermore, all selected papers were assessed for their clinical relevance.

_Results: _The cadherin switch is regulated by transcription factors like Snail, SLUG, ZEB1, and ZEB2. It is also acted on by epigenetic modifiers. These transcription factors are regulated by multiple pathways like Wnt/β–catenin, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, etc. These pathways are in turn regulated by molecular and external agents like NNK from tobacco smoke, hypoxia, the DDB2 gene, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and melatonin.

Authors:   Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University, Marina Marina , Lozinskyi Artem ,   Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University
Published: June 2024

The paradigm of modern global socio-economic development is built on the basis of economic, social and environmental aspects. Under such conditions, the issue of nature conservation, environmental protection and reduction of harmful substances emissions is becoming more relevant. Accordingly, the main direction for achieving the fundamentals and principles of sustainable development is the transition from a linear model of the economy to a circular one in the face of economic uncertainty. Thus, the purpose of the study is to analyse the impact of global economic crises on the development of a circular economy strategy, as well as to justify the need for transition to a circular economy model. To achieve this goal, the study defines the essence and significance of the circular economy model, describes the main strategies of the circular economy, substantiates the impact of globalisation and economic crises on the transition to a circular economy model, and uses analytical data to assess the current state of implementation of the circular economy principles by countries around the world. To make the study more thorough, the authors assessed the current state of waste generation in the regional context of the world and analysed the household waste recycling rate in the European Union. The study also identified a number of countries where the implementation of the principles of the circular economy model is at a high level. In order to implement the best practices of circular economy implementation, the current state of waste generation and recycling in Ukraine is studied. The existing regulatory framework, which is the basis for the implementation of the circular economy, and existing examples of the circular waste recycling mechanism in Ukraine are identified. Based on the results of the study, the author provides recommendations that are a priority for the global and Ukrainian economic model, which will strengthen the mechanisms and tools for implementing the circular economy model in the current global economic system.

Published: June 2024

Among the basic rights is the right to housing, which meets the goals of sustainable development in the areas of poverty alleviation, social protection, and equal rights for everyone. An analysis of existing models of social housing market management has identified three main ones, which differ in terms of the type of beneficiaries they are designed to serve and the purpose. The idea of affordable housing has been spreading in recent years. In this context, social housing should be distinguished from the broader term "affordable housing". The systematization of the features of different models of social housing market management and the tasks of our state allowed us to identify the following criteria for choosing such a model: the goals of the country's social policy (to achieve a certain level of social security, which allows to overcome poverty and ensure minimum sustainable development); the level of stratification of society (the existence of large cohorts of the population that differ significantly in social status, form of employment and need social support dictates the choice of the model of final distribution); the level of material. Amendments to the current legislation in this area that are in line with international standards and need to be implemented are proposed

The global trends in the production and trade of beans were analyzed, the level and dynamics of export-import operations of Ukraine in this market segment were investigated, the prospects of crop production were substantiated in the context of niche diversification of the domestic agrarian sphere and the expansion of its export potential. It is noted that during the last decade, the volume of world production of beans has remained relatively stable within 29 million tons. The leading countries are India and Brazil, the combined share of which in the world crop harvest in 2022 was 36.2%. A third of the world's bean exports go to Myanmar – the main exporter of legumes to India. The main importers of beans are India and China, these countries supply 32.5% of the world's import of the crop.In the overall structure of foreign trade, the share of Ukrainian beans in 2022 was 1.2%. During 2018-2022, the value of culture exports from Ukraine was characterized by an upward trend. Almost all export (99.9%) and import products (95.4%) are white bean varieties The main buyers of Ukrainian beans were Italy, Pakistan and Poland. In 2022, 53.4% of exports were sent to these countries. On the foreign market, Ukraine mainly buys elite bean seeds. In 2022, 85.6% of its total imports were supplied from Poland. It is noted that in modern conditions, beans are a promising niche crop for the domestic agriculturist, since logistics is less affected by it than grain crops, the demand in foreign markets is high, in addition to economic, the introduction of beans in crop rotation also provides an ecological effect. The export potential of beans is determined by the growth of global demand for processed legume products (chips, hummus, vegetable minced meat, nuggets, burger patties, etc.).

The article examines the peculiarities of advertising influence on human psychology, noting that the effectiveness of advertising influence is assessed along three directions: effectiveness on the cognitive sphere, effectiveness on the emotional sphere of the consumer, and the impact of advertising on the motivational-personal sphere. To achieve the goal, the study identified that the greatest influence on the consumer is exerted by advertising appeals. Additionally, the socio-cultural impact of advertising on shaping and changing human values orientations was highlighted, as each advertisement embeds a certain value system. Advertising employs a significant arsenal of manipulative tactics on the viewer, resulting in the covert arousal of intentions that do not align with their existing desires. Among the methods of manipulation, commonly found in advertising, are references to authority figures, which are based on the trust citizens place in certain authoritative figures, such as opinion leaders (scientists, popular singers and actors, athletes, etc.). In this article for a clearer depiction of the topic, most common psychological methods applied in advertising appeals were analyzed. Under the influence of advertising, certain values develop and gain widespread acceptance and approval among the masses. Advertising imposes certain values on both individuals and society as a whole. It has been proven that a certain system of values is attached to advertising, resulting in a socio-cultural influence. Prospects for further research were determined, taking into account new digital methods (virtual and augmented reality), that significantly expand the possibilities of influencing the psychology of consumers. Virtual and augmented reality make it possible to create more immersive advertising experiences that leave a deep impression on the minds of users.

The article examines the relevance of reforming the agricultural waste management policy existing in Ukraine. It is shown that the outdated methods of waste management in all branches of the economy, above all, in agriculture, have led to an increase in environmental pollution, the dominance of the "linear" model of production, and the technological backwardness of waste processing and disposal operations. It was determined that radical changes in the policy of handling agricultural waste at the state, regional, and microeconomic levels are necessary, which meets the requirements of the world society regarding the greening of all economic processes. The positive results of the formation of the institutional and legal framework of the new waste management policy, which will ensure the transition to a "circular" model of production, are shown. The theoretical and methodological significance of the concepts of "green", circular economy, recycling in creating the theoretical foundations of the modern innovative model of waste management is emphasized.

Метою дослідження є характеристика ключових прогалин в системі стандартизації й сертифікації продукції. Доведено, що виокремлені нами наслідки ілюструють виняткову важливість усунення прогалин та проблем у системах стандартизації та сертифікації продукції. Зацікавлені сторони на всіх рівнях повинні співпрацювати, щоб гарантувати, що ці системи є надійними, адаптивними та інклюзивними, захищаючи не лише економічні інтереси, а й громадську охорону здоров'я, екологічну стійкість та справедливий розвиток глобальних ринків. Визначено, що стандартизація та сертифікація продукції є основою, на якій сучасна економіка будує довіру між споживачами та виробниками, забезпечує безпеку та якість та полегшує міжнародну торгівлю. Виокремлено прогалини в сучасній системі стандартизації й сертифікації продукції. Визначено, що ігнорування прогалин та проблем у системі стандартизації та сертифікації продукції може мати широкий спектр негативних наслідків, які виходять за рамки безпосередніх економічних наслідків та зачіпають безпеку споживачів, екологічну стійкість та загальну цілісність світових ринків. Доведено, що різноманіття стандартів та процедур сертифікації між країнами створює перешкоди для міжнародної торгівлі. Відсутність універсальних стандартів ускладнює експорт-імпорт товарів, оскільки компаніям доводиться адаптувати свою продукцію під різні регіональні вимоги. Визначено, що прозорість та доступність є додатковими проблемами у процесі стандартизації та сертифікації. Процедури отримання сертифікатів можуть бути складними, непрозорими та дорогими, що ускладнює роботу невеликих підприємств. Доведено, що з економічної точки зору невідповідності та прогалини в системах стандартизації та сертифікації можуть створити значні бар'єри для міжнародної торгівлі. Компанії, що зіткнулися з неоднорідністю регіональних та національних стандартів, можуть зазнати більш високих витрат і збільшити час виведення своєї продукції на ринок.
