High development of computer, information systems and telecommunication technologies has led to the formation of a new type of economic activity, namely - e-business, which is any business activity that uses the capabilities of global information networks to transform internal and external communications in order to further profit. The development of e-commerce is in two directions: increasing the number of Internet users, who are interested in buying goods and increasing the number of online stores, introducing secure online payment methods, reducing the cost of delivery, increasing speed and quality of service. Today, the global e-commerce market is one of the most dynamic and steadily growing markets. The growth of global retail Internet trade over the past three years was 6%. According to forecasts, taking into account the current trends of the global pandemic in 2023, the share of global retail Internet trade will increase to 22,1% and will be significantly ahead of the growth rate of retail trade. In Ukraine, the turnover of online shopping in 2020 increased by 41% and amounted to 107 billion UAH. Experts attribute this to the increase in the share of Internet penetration in Ukraine and the number of Internet users. Also, e-commerce is especially relevant because it allows you to fully present your business on the Internet, to tell the maximum about products and services to consumers, develop a brand, personal brand, as well as track the actions of visitors, thus analyzing efficiency and taking corrective action. To promote the online store on the example of «Swiss Energy», a program was developed using several methods of advertising: organizing a lottery, creating a layout of coupons and their electronic distribution to customers; creation and distribution of a presentation - a catalog of new products; distribution of leaflets to inform potential buyers; outdoor advertising. The expediency of the developed advertising activities is confirmed by the following data: the number of buyers for the week increased by 37%; the average cost of a check increased by 27%; the number of site pages viewed by visitors increased from 8 to 14.

Published: October 2021

In the conditions of enhancing globalization processes in society, the initial role in the economic development of any country plays the process of foreign investment. The leading position in attracting foreign direct investment in Ukraine takes industry, which in 2020 was significantly affected by restrictive measures caused by the economic pandemic crisis. The issue of attracting foreign direct investment in Ukrainian industry based on the analysis of world experience is quite urgent today. The control over foreign direct investment is significantly strengthened, and some countries have been forced to take restrictive measures against foreign investment. It was found that after reforms aimed at protecting foreign investment, Ukraine has become an even more attractive environment for international investors, reflecting the World Bank's Doing Business rating. In 2019 Ukraine ranked 64th in the world, compared to 71st in 2018 and 80th in 2017. It was found that in Ukraine there was a positive trend in attracting foreign direct investment, which faltered with the beginning of the pandemic. The FDI indicator in Ukraine in 2020 became the worst in the last 20 years. There is a tendency to reduce the share of economic activity in the total inflow of foreign investment in processing, light industry, chemical and metallurgical complex for 3 studied years. But investors remain interested in investing capital in various industries. The most attractive industries for foreign investors were those where the growth of annual investments was typical, namely: food industry, pharmaceutical industry and electricity. By 2020, there was also a positive trend of investment in the extractive industry, but during the period of strict quarantine restrictions, the country was completely stopped production of most enterprises and by the end of the crisis, in the extractive industry outflow of FDI. The investment prospects can be increased by ensuring the building capacity of the industry, qualitative improvement of production assets, intensification of production, technological, scientific, factors of production, the introduction of scientific and technological progress, the transition to innovative development.

Published: October 2021

Transaction costs in the public sector are an understudied topic that can improve the understanding of governance processes within the public authorities and provide criteria for evaluating their effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to outline a certain theoretical framework, in particular the essence and types of transaction costs in the public sector. It is done in order to provide a basis for later empirical research. The author uses the analogy method of transferring existing theoretical findings from the context of the firm to the context of public authorities; the synthesis method in the process of transforming various theoretical concepts that consider the relationship of the state and transaction costs into three basic models of the perception of public authorities; the method of analysis in the process of identifying the various structural components of the transaction costs of public authorities. The results of the investigation allow us to distinguish state and municipal transaction costs within the concept of public transaction costs. All of them contain political, economic and institutional transaction costs. It is proposed to consider internal (constitutive transaction costs and costs of exploitation of the public system) and external (regulatory) transaction costs within the framework of institutional transaction costs. The well-known classifications of transaction costs, which were mainly proposed in relation to the private sector, but can be used in other areas, in particular in relation to public power, are considered: ex ante and ex post costs; explicit and implicit transaction costs; measurable and unmeasurable. It is also suggested to introduce the concepts of single and integral transaction costs. This section provides a new approach to the process of evaluating transaction costs, not only for the public sector, but also for the private sector. The classification of public transaction costs proposed in this study is the basis for later discussions of this topic in academic circles and in the educational process, as well as the basis for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of public transaction costs.

Published: October 2021

The company’s marketing activities require constant audit, as the company’s results cannot be directly attributed to marketing activities. It is because of the indirect nature of the results of marketing activities in the process of its implementation there are many sources of risk, which in turn lead to loss of profits and losses of the enterprise. Therefore, the organization and methodology of risk assessment of marketing audit requires more detailed research, study and analysis. At the same time, it is in the international environment that the audit process becomes more complicated, and the number of risks increases due to the company’s activities in the new uncertain environment. The analysis of risks of marketing audit in the international marketing environment allowed to reveal such its main directions, as: audit of environment, both macro, and micro; marketing goals and strategies; the main components of the marketing complex according to the scheme 4 P (product, price, place, promotion); as well as the organization of the marketing structure of the company. Depending on these areas, possible risks are classified and methods for their assessment are determined. The study proposes to identify them according to the characteristics of the elements of the main directions of marketing audit and the distribution of controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled. Accordingly, risk assessment methods are proposed that combine both statistical and marketing approaches. Controlled elements of marketing audit can be assessed by calculation and analytical methods, factors of a partially controlled environment by statistical and probabilistic methods, and factors of a fully controlled environment – only by expert methods. When implementing a marketing strategy, it is advisable to assess the risks at all stages of its development, which will immediately minimize both the number and probability of individual risks. At the same time, it is in the international environment that the sales process, that is the implementation of the tactical implementation of the marketing strategy, will play a leading role. In this case, the company is recommended to conduct a separate audit of sales tools for the effectiveness of its use in a particular environment.

The article provides an analytical study of the current situation and areas of international tourism as a component of the global economy. The purpose of the study: to identify key factors and analyze the dynamics of the international tourism industry, and to identify promising ways to develop it to restore a leading role in the global economic system. Until the beginning of 2020, the global tourism industry was considered one of the most promising areas of economic activity: a significant contribution to GDP, growing employment in the industry and new jobs in related fields contributed to the active attraction of new businesses and investment. Now the international tourism industry is experiencing a crisis, losing billions in profits both globally. The main negative factors in the resumption of tourist flow are the existing restrictions on travel, slowing down vaccination, the global economic crisis, uncoordinated efforts to resolve the problem between governments, low consumer confidence and the long resumption of air services. In the research course it is substantiated that among the proposed development scenarios there is definitely no sense to expect optimism, because a new coronavirus is spreading around the world and the pace of global recovery will slow down again. Taking into account all the current circumstances of international tourism development, the most current development trends have been identified, including: ensuring social distance during travel, implementation of sustainable tourism principles, comprehensive informatization of the route and full awareness of tourists before and during travel, reorientation to FIT-tourism, change of popular tourist destinations and transfer preferences. Taking into account the identified current circumstances, negative factors and certain trends in world tourism will allow all tourism service providers to resume their activities at the international level and ensure a sustainable flow of tourists, stabilize their financial and economic situation and end the global economic crisis.

Published: October 2021

The economic crisis is viewed in this article as a two-way process, during which a transformation of socio-economic processes and rethinking of theoretical patterns can be observed. For developing countries, the effects of the economic crisis impact the most on social processes. But at the same time the efforts to minimize the negative consequences, are focused only on that part of the social sphere which directly depends on basic economic indicators, and the relatively autonomous spheres, as well as the system of basic and applied science and innovation are not taken into account. The economic crisis of 2020, the tiger of which was a pandemic, is characterized as a crisis of demand and it influences the most on developing countries because of the lack of resources. The purpose of the article is to highlight the main directions of the impact of economic crises on education, in particular in developing countries, as well as to describe and predict the consequences of such impacts on the socio-economic sphere of society. Taking into account declining wages in companies, rising unemployment, reduction production and tax revenues that began with the crisis and efforts to save, the significant decline in living standards are appeared unavoidably. It should be mentioned that such changes in socio-economic life impact not only on the reduction of wages, but also on the structure of demand for labor by profession and skill level. In any state character of the education system is determined by socio-economic and political systems, as well as cultural, historical, and national characteristics of countries. In addition to the global economic crisis, which affects the education, education itself around the world does not satisfy the demands of the modern society and as a result is in crisis by itself. The development or transformation of education in the system of knowledge economy is possible only with the improvement of the education quality, with the transformation of the content of education, with the creation of integration educational programs and with the change of management strategies.

АКТУАЛІЗАЦІЯ ПОДАТКОВОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ ВЕЛИКИХ ПЛАТНИКІВ ПОДАТКІВ
Authors: Гавриленко Наталія
Published: October 2021

Стаття присвячена актуальним проблемам оцінки податкового потенціалу великих платників податків, які обумовлені, з одного боку існуючими потребами бюджетно-податкової політики, а з іншого – вдосконаленням податкового адміністрування в Україні. Такий взаємозв'язок визначається суттєвістю впливу податкового потенціалу великих платників податків на бюджетну забезпеченість держави як взагалі, так і її адміністративно-територіальних одиниць, зокрема. Наявна невизначеність податкового законодавства в поєднанні з економічними реаліями призводить до виникнення податкових ризиків, як на рівні держави, так і на рівні платників податків, що негативно впливає на розвиток податкового потенціалу. Це обумовлено багато в чому тим, що сучасною фінансовою наукою досі не розроблені нові наукові підходи до оцінки податкового потенціалу, її інструментарій також недостатньо розвинутий, потребують розвитку механізми управління податковими ризиками. В даній статті зроблено спробу цю прогалину заповнити.

Influence of vertebral manipulations on the autonomic nervous system
Authors: Sebastian Rausell J. M. , Martinez Garcia A. B. , Jaume Llinas A. S. , Escobio Prieto I.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. Although its neurophysiological effects have not been fully elucidated, current evidence suggests the clinical effectiveness of spinal manipulation. Different studies suggest that manual therapy induces changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Recent studies showed that mobilization produced a sympatheticexcitatory effect. However, studies using thrust manipulation appeared to be less consistent in their results.

Objectives. The main objective of this review was to evaluate whether spinal manipulation induces effects on the ANS. Another objective was to correlate the changes in the measured variables with the activation or inhibition of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system and with the level of spinal manipulation.

Materials and methods. We performed a literature search in the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, CINAHL and OVID, using the keywords «Manipulation, spinal» and «Autonomic Nervous System». The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality.

Results. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Six trials measured cardiovascular function indicators (blood pressure, heart rate, Heart Rate Variability). Three other trials measured the pupil reaction. In most studies, cervical or upper thoracic region was manipulated.

Conclusions. Our review does not provide definitive evidence of the effects of spinal manipulation on the ANS. However, most studies observed the existence of autonomic effects by modifying parameters such as blood pressure or Heart Rate Variability after manipulation. Increased parasympathetic activation probably occurs after cervical and lumbar treatment and increased sympathetic activation after dorsal treatment.
Experience in the use of kinesio taping for the relief of algomenorrhea in adolescent girls in a children′s rehabilitation hospital
Authors: Vasilevich S. V. , Petrov S. S.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. The method of kinesio taping (Kenzo Kase, 1973) is actively gaining popularity among various medical specialists. This is due to the safety of the method and its proven effectiveness in certain pathological conditions and functional disorders. There are isolated publications showing the effectiveness of kinesio taping to reduce the manifestations of algomenorrhea.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using the kinesio taping method for relieving pain in adolescent girls with functional algomenorrhea in a children′s rehabilitation hospital.

Materials and methods. The material for the study was the results of observation of 38 girls aged 13 to 17 years, who were on inpatient treatment in the St. Petersburg Children′s rehabilitation center of orthopedics and traumatology «Ogonyok» and turned to the medical staff for help with painful mēnsēs in order to receive pharmacological correction (taking antispasmodics and/or NSAIDs), as well as with a request to change the rehabilitation program (cancellation of physical therapy or physiotherapy procedures for the period of pain). Based on the experience of Seyda Toprak Celenay and María Isabel Tomás-Rodríguez, in order to influence the severity of algomenorrhea syndrome in patients, kinesio taping of the suprapubic region was performed with a 5 cm wide cotton tape with a light tension in the range of 10–15 %. The intensity of the pain syndrome before and after kinesio taping was evaluated by the patient himself using a modified facial pain Scale [The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) according to Von Baeyer C. L. et al., 2001], and an instrumental assessment of the intensity of pain sensations was additionally performed using a dynamometer-algometer «MEGEON 04300».

Results. The method of kinesio taping allows you to exclude (in 58 % of patients) or reduce (in 16% of patients) the use of pharmacological drugs. The inverse relationship between the subjective assessment of the intensity of pain syndrome by patients and the reduction of pain syndrome was established: that is, the greater the intensity of pain, the less likely the analgesic effect from the use of kinesio tape. The decrease in the pain syndrome of the girls was noted in the period of 1–12 hours (on average 3 hours 51 minutes) from the moment of applying the kinesio tape. Unfortunately, in the remaining 26 % of cases, the kinesiotaping method was not effective.

Conclusion. The kinesiotaping method is justified for use in patients with algomenorrhea and often allows you to exclude or reduce the intake of pharmacological drugs.

En el caso del “Corralito de piedra”, se adelanta una “excavación letrada” sobre los primeros trabajos, autores e instituciones que han explorado los estudios sociales del deporte en los tiempos de la modernidad líquida, de cara a seguir ahondando en la intrínseca relación entre deporte, cultura e identidad.

Authors: Aguilera Rodríguez Ana Rosa
Published: October 2021

El insuficiente reconocimiento jurídico del derecho a la ciudad limita el pleno alcance de la sostenibilidad urbana. A partir de ello se realiza el presente artículo, en el cual, con el uso de los métodos sociológico, análisis-síntesis, teórico-jurídico y hermenéutico-jurídico, se aborda el tema del derecho a la ciudad desde la relación intrínseca que guarda con la sostenibilidad urbana. En su desarrollo se abordan aspectos relacionados con la sostenibilidad urbana y el derecho a la ciudad, de acuerdo con las concepciones más usuales que se utilizan, sus dimensiones y los indicadores que determinan su presencia, así como las principales limitaciones que actualmente tiene. Asimismo, se valora cuál es la posición que ocupa este tema en las agendas de las principales organizaciones mundiales, regionales y nacionales, además de las principales acciones y respaldo jurídico para coadyuvar a su realización. Se enfatiza en cómo la sostenibilidad urbana deviene en un tema prioritario para los Estados y cómo el reconocimiento jurídico del derecho a la ciudad, puede contribuir a perfeccionarla.

УЯВЛЕННЯ ПРО ВЛАДУ ЯК ОСНОВА ДЛЯ РОЗГОРТАННЯ ПОЛІТИКО-ПРАВОВОЇ АКТИВНОСТІ МОЛОДІ
Authors: Dukhnevych V. M.
Published: October 2021

На основі проведених фокус-групових досліджень аналізуються уявлення молоді про ситуацію в Україні, владу і державу та їх вплив на уявлення молоді про можливі форми власної політико-правової активності. Показано, що влада в цілому сприймається як колективний суб’єкт, який зазвичай перебуває в опозиції до іншого колективного суб’єкта – народу. Встановлено, що інтерес молоді до політики має, у кращому випадку, фрагментарний характер, її політична освіченість є низькою. З’ясовано, що очікування від влади пов’язуються з досить виразними патерналістичними настановленнями: припинення воєнного конфлікту на сході країни, підвищення рівня життя, доходів і гарантування зайнятості, створення можливостей для самореалізації молоді тощо. При цьому відмічається проблема корупції, адже, за оцінками молодих людей, влада лише демонструє наміри, проте всіляко ухиляється від реальних дій щодо подолання корупції. Виявлено, що брак досвіду у вирішенні проблемних питань політико-правового характеру, переконаність у тому, що більшість проблем можна “розв’язати” в неправовий спосіб (хабар, підкуп, “подяка” і т. ін.), формують у молоді негативні настановлення, а саме що “норм закону можна не дотримуватися, оскільки навіть ті, хто приймає закони, їх ігнорують”. Констатовано готовність молоді реалізовувати революційний сценарій розв’язання суспільних суперечностей.

A mesélő nyelvi közeg hatása a hat-nyolc éves tanulók aktív és passzív szókincsére
Authors: Unger-Király Tünde Erzsébet , Vass Dorottea
Published: October 2021

A kutatás célja megvizsgálni a mesehallgatás és a szókincs állapotának összefüggéseit a hat–nyolc éves, mesei élményben részesülő és mesei élményben nem részesülő tanulókkal végzett aktív és passzív szókincsvizsgálatok eredményeinek tükrében. Mindazok mellett, hogy a mesék fejlesztő hatással vannak a gyermekek kognitív, érzelmi, szociális és nyelvi képességeire, kiemelkedően fontos szerepet játszanak az aktív és passzív szókincsük fejlődésében is. Ezért kutatásunkban a mesehallgatásban való részesülési arány aspektusából vizsgáltuk meg a tanulók aktív és passzív szókincsét, ezzel választ nyerve a hipotézisünkre, amely szerint a kisgyermekkori életszakaszban mesei élményben részesülő hat–nyolc éves tanulók fejlettebb szókinccsel rendelkeznek a kisgyermekkorban mesei élményben nem részesülő kortársaikhoz képest.
A keresztény gyermekirodalom és a humor
Authors: Gombos Péter
Published: October 2021

Miközben tanulmányomban konkrét szerzőket, sőt szövegeket is bemutatok, alapjában véve elméleti kérdéseket vetek fel s próbálok megválaszolni. Mi az, hogy keresztény irodalom? Mi az, hogy keresztény gyermekirodalom? Van-e, lehet-e helye a didaxisnak a (keresztény) gyermekirodalomban? Van létjogosultsága a humornak a keresztény irodalomban?
A fogalmak és az alapkérdések tisztázása után nem bocsátkoztam a szóba jöhető művek felosztásába, csoportosításába. Legfőképpen azért nem, mert a témán belül – különösen magyar szerzőket figyelembe véve – nincs annyiféle műfaj, s arányaiban a művek száma sem jelentős, hogy enne relevanciája lenne. Hogy mégsem érzem indokolatlannak magát a témafelvetést, az elsősorban az elmúlt évtizedek tapasztalatainak köszönhető. Miközben az indulás kifejezetten nehéz volt – az irodalmi értékek sokáig maximum „átsejlettek” a didaktikus szövegek mögül –, a jelen több mint biztató. A keresztény gyermekirodalom „fejlődése” mintha párhuzamosan, együtt menne a gyermekirodalom haladásával.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Schroth exercise on Cobb's angle, vital capacity as well as the improvement of daily activities on patients with idiopathic adolescent scoliosis. Forty patients with idiopathic scoliosis with a Cobb thoracic vertebral angle of 15-30 degrees or higher and the Risser sign stage 3 or higher. The Schroth exercise was applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks. We measured the chest trunk inclination, Cobb angle and vital capacity before and after exercise program. A comprehensive search for all published review articles for spinal deformity was undertaken on PubMed, PEDRO, Google Scholar, Physiopedia up to December 2018. All full-text articles reporting evaluation, validation, surgical, orthotic, and/or physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercises (PSSE) treatment outcomes of these spinal deformities were retrieved and analyzed by us and methodology for functional assessment of patients with AIS was developed. Forty patients with idiopathic scoliosis with a Cobb thoracic vertebral angle of 15-30 degrees or higher and the Risser sign stage 3 or higher. The Schroth exercise was applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks. We measured the chest trunk inclination, Cobb angle and vital capacity before and after exercise program. For a period of 12 weeks we accessed adolescents with AIS. All adolescents make Schroth PSSE. The analysis of the results confirms the positive effect of the PSSE to improve muscle endurance, balance and correction of the scoliosis. Within a month from the beginning, patients reported no back pain and within 2 months – a respiratory improvement, an enlargement of the chest, a reduced Cobb angle, an increased vital capacity. PSSE seem to have positive effects by reducing the symptoms and improving functions and body asymmetries. Schroth method is effective of preventing the scoliosis’ progression. The conservative method of treating scoliosis was found to be effective even at a Cobb angle of 35 degrees or higher. In the future, universal methods of approaching exercises and preventive training for the treatment of scoliosis needs to be further developed.
