Published: November 2021

The pedagogical and professional competence of vocational teachers is still a fundamental question in the education and learning system. In the 21st century, teachers are required to have high pedagogical and professional competencies. This study aims to analyze the extent of the pedagogical and professional competencies of vocational teachers. This research is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach. A total of 232 vocational teachers became respondents in this study. Data were collected through a questionnaire method with an instrument in the form of a 4 Likert scale questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential t-test which includes one-way ANOVA test and independent-sample t-test. The results showed that the pedagogical competence of vocational teachers was in a low category. Meanwhile, the professional competence of vocational teachers is in the high category, but in some indicators, it is still in the low category. Various retraining is needed to improve the pedagogical competence of vocational teachers; meanwhile, psychological approaches must also be taken to improve the professional competence of vocational teachers.

DETERMINANTS OF GOVERNMENT SECURITIES YIELD USING VECM
Authors: Maju Simatupang Batara
Published: November 2021

This study aims to uncover the determinants’ effect on the return rate of government securities (GS). This study's data uses the government bonds that can be traded with the ten-year tenor, and the time-horizon of the collected data spans from 2009:M1 to 2018:M6. The study methodology utilizes the vector error correction model (VECM) model to determine the short-term backward behavior, which refers to the situation where the short-term balances are corrected for the long-term balances. Additionally, it is also to reveal the relationship between the variables within the model. Thus, this study is to see whether GS’s reciprocal level has been at the value of efficient return or not. The results show that the cointegrated determinants of the Bank Indonesia (BI) rate / seven days repo, outstanding tradable government bonds, Fitch Rating, exchange rate, sovereign country risk, and regional bond index positively affects the GS yield. In contrast, the determinants of Fitch Rating, exchange rate, sovereign country risk, and outstanding tradable government bond negatively influence GS yields. The implication of this research is that the Indonesian government securities are interdependent with the identified determinants; thus, the Indonesian government should maintain the movement of those determinants to ensure that its GS stays positive.

Published: November 2021

This study aims to provide baseline data about soil contamination by some heavy metals at different depths around landfills in areas at high risk of groundwater contamination. Soil samples were taken in three replicates at depth of 0 – 20 cm, 20 – 40 cm and 40 - 60 cm in the radiuses of 0 to 10 m, 10 to 20 m and 20 to 30 m around landfills. In all, 81 homogenized composite soil samples were collected. The heavy metals were measured in soil samples by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results show that the concentration of mercury (0.03 – 0.29 mg kg-1), cadmium (0.04 – 0.69 mg kg-1), arsenic (0.05 – 2.30 mg kg-1) and nickel (0.05 – 2.35 mg kg-1) in analyzed soil samples were lower than the limit values set by WHO, Finland and Dutch environment ministries. However, lead concentrations (90.15 – 129.14 mg kg-1) in topsoil in vicinity of landfills in Amoutivé and Akodesséwa were above reference values set by WHO, Finland and Dutch environment ministries. As the heavy metals may be leached to reach groundwater, the landfills management must be great concern to municipal authorities. The frequent monitoring of the quality of soil and groundwater will be necessary to follow the level environmental contamination by heavy metals around landfills and the possible initiate remedial measures.

Published: November 2021

The arrival of the big data era brings not only opportunities but also challenges to statistics teaching. It is of great significance to explore the statistics teaching mode under the big data environment. Closely following the frontier of Statistics teaching research in the big data environment, this paper combs the literature on statistics teaching research in the big data environment. Through analysis, it is found that the statistics teaching should give consideration to "systematicness" and "pertinence" closely with the pace of the era, constantly cultivate big data thinking, and make good use of statistics, a "sharp tool" for mining data value, so as to better serve social development in the big data environment.

Authors: Ratnaweera Manorika , Khareedi Rohini
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Timely graduation is of colossal importance to students, universities, and other stakeholders. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the time taken to graduate and to determine if pre-enrolment demographic and experiential characteristics of students are predictive of the aggregate grade point average. The secondary purpose of the study was to identify individual aspects between cohorts based on the time taken to complete the course.

Method: The sample for this study included all students enrolled in the Bachelor of Health Science (Oral Health) program at the Auckland University of Technology from 2008 to 2016. The desensitized data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis.

Results: The mean grade point average in the first year was lowest in the cohort that took five years to complete and highest in the cohort that took three years to complete. Each year’s grade point average was positively correlated to the next year’s grade point average. The level of prior education and work experience were predictive of the aggregate grade point average in those completing in three years (P<0.05) but not in those completing in four years (P>0.05).

Conclusion: Pre-enrollment factors, level of prior education and work experience were predictive of aggregate grade point average in the cohort completing in three years but not in the cohort completing in four years.

Authors: Kruszka Marie , Graff Edith , Medam Tiphaine , Masson Sylvia
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effects of a single oral dose of gabapentin on fear-based aggressive behaviors (FABs) in cats during veterinary examinations.

ANIMALS

55 healthy pet cats (26 with and 29 without a history of FAB during veterinary visits [FAB and untreated control groups, respectively]).

PROCEDURES

A standardized 9-step clinical examination protocol (with patient compliance scored from 0 to 9 according to the highest completed step) was tested on untreated control group cats. The protocol was then used in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover-design trial in which FAB-group cats received owner-administered gabapentin (100 or 200 mg/cat) or placebo capsules 2 hours before the first of 2 veterinary visits and received the alternate treatment before the second visit ≥ 1 day later. Ease of administration (scored from 1 [very difficult] to 4 [very easy]) and adverse effects were recorded. Compliance scores were compared between treatments for the FAB group and between FAB and untreated control groups. Changes in scores between treatments for the FAB group were used to investigate associations between selected variables and the outcome of interest.

RESULTS

FAB group compliance scores after gabapentin administration (median, 9; range, 0 to 9) were significantly higher than scores after placebo administration (median 0.5; range, 0 to 7) and did not differ from scores for the untreated control group. Owner scores indicated capsule administration was easy. Adverse effects (most commonly drowsiness, myorelaxation, and ataxia) resolved ≤ 10 hours after detection.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested oral administration of gabapentin to cats 2 hours before a veterinary visit can reduce FAB during physical examination, enabling more complete evaluation.

Authors: Palmer Samantha V , Espinheira Gomes Filipe , McArt Jessica A. A.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the frequency of ophthalmic disorders in 7 brachycephalic dog breeds referred to an academic veterinary ophthalmology service.

ANIMALS

970 client-owned dogs of 7 brachycephalic breeds that were evaluated by the ophthalmology service in a veterinary teaching hospital from January 2008 through December 2017.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of 7 brachycephalic breeds (ie, Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos, Pekingese, Pugs, and Shih Tzus) were reviewed to collect data regarding patient signalment, ophthalmic diagnoses, affected eyes, and number and dates of visits.

RESULTS

Median age at the first examination was 7 years (range, 23 days to 22 years). The number of dogs seen for a first examination increased with age. Corneal ulcers, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, corneal pigmentation, immature cataracts, and uveitis were each diagnosed in ≥ 100 dogs and represented 40.4% (1,161/2,873) of all diagnoses. On the basis of anatomic location, 66.3% (1,905/2,873) of all disorders were located in either the cornea (1,014/2,873 [35.2%]) or adnexa (891/2,873 [31%]). There was a significant difference in breed proportion in the study population; of the 7 breeds studied, Shih Tzus (34.3% [333/970]), Pugs (20.8% [202/970]), and Boston Terriers (16.6% [161/970]) were the most prevalent breeds. The frequency of some diseases within the referral population was associated with breed.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings suggested that the most prevalent disorders for the brachycephalic breeds in this ophthalmic referral population were corneal ulcers, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, corneal pigmentation, immature cataracts, and uveitis. Although all dogs shared brachycephalic features, the frequency of specific ophthalmic diseases varied between breeds.

OBJECTIVE

To characterize osteolytic lesions in cold-stunned Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) hospitalized for rehabilitation and describe methods used for the management of such lesions.

ANIMALS

25 stranded, cold-stunned Kemp's ridley sea turtles hospitalized between 2008 and 2018.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of sea turtles with a diagnosis of osteolytic lesions were reviewed retrospectively to obtain the date of diagnosis, clinical signs, radiographic findings, microbial culture results, hematologic and plasma biochemical data, cytologic and histologic findings, antimicrobial history, time to first negative culture result, treatment duration, and outcome.

RESULTS

Lesions were identified radiographically a median of 50 days after admission and were located within epiphyses or metaphyses of various appendicular joints. Lesions were associated with periarticular swelling (n = 24), lameness (16), lethargy (2), and hyporexia (2). Bacterial culture yielded growth of single organisms (n = 16), multiple organisms (2), or no growth (6). Significant differences in hematologic and biochemical data were detected between the times of diagnosis and convalescence. Cytologic and histologic findings characterized the lesions as osteomyelitis leading to septic arthritis. Sixteen sea turtles were managed medically, and 8 were managed medically and surgically. Surgery resulted in rapid improvement in joint mobility and overall clinical status. Most (22/25 [88%]) sea turtles survived and were released after long-term management.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

During rehabilitation, cold-stunned Kemp's ridley sea turtles may be affected by osteomyelitis. Medical management based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing was effective for most turtles. Long term management efforts in turtles are justified by high survival rate.

Published: November 2021

CASE DESCRIPTION

3 dogs with retroperitoneal masses (2 renal and 1 located near the diaphragm) were treated by percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA).

CLINICAL FINDINGS

Dogs between 11 and 13 years of age weighing between 13.7 and 43.8 kg had either a renal mass (n = 2) or a mass located in the caudodorsal aspect of the retroperitoneal space near the right side of the diaphragm (1). Cytology revealed that one of the renal masses and the mass located near the diaphragm were malignant neoplasias. Findings on cytologic evaluation of a sample of the other renal mass was nondiagnostic. Maximum mass diameters ranged between 1.4 and 2.5 cm.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

All dogs were treated by percutaneous MWA. Probes were directed into tumors by use of ultrasound and CT guidance, and microwave energy was applied to each mass. Findings on imaging of each mass following MWA was consistent with successful treatment. No intraprocedural or major postprocedural complications occurred, and all dogs were discharged from the hospital within 3 days of treatment. Two dogs died at 3 and 21 months after MWA with no known local recurrence; 1 dog was still alive 64 months after treatment.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Although the indications for MWA in the treatment of neoplasia in companion animals are limited, the outcomes of dogs in the present report provided preliminary evidence that percutaneous MWA can be safely used to effectively treat retroperitoneal neoplasia. This procedure was successfully performed with image guidance in all 3 dogs.
The ‘World’s Newest Profession’ is no Longer Dispensable; What Does it Mean for Consultancy Firms?
Authors: Matthias Olga
Published: November 2021

A major focus for consultants is pipeline. Generating future work is as important as delivering current projects because it provides continuity and hopefully growth of the business. This inherent uncertainty in the sales pipeline is perhaps the consulting firms’ biggest concerns. This paper seeks to demonstrate how management consultancy has actually become widespread and embedded in the economic activity of organisations. The research synthesised in this paper presents client perspectives on how consultants add value. Particular insight is given into the key features which differentiate those firms that are chosen for projects against those that are not. The findings suggest that the industry has transitioned from a dispensable service to an institutionalised one, embedded in client business cycles and operating procedures. This has implications for how individual consultancy firms develop and deliver their services, moving emphasis from market uncertainty to service design and quality.
A Descriptive Study about Students’ Symptoms and Knowledge of Computer Vision Syndrome
Authors: Irawaty Enny , Rasyid Meriana , Tirtasari Silviana , Novendy Novendy , Lontoh Susy Olivia
Published: November 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.
Recursive Prediction for Lossless Image Compression
Authors: Al-Timimi Rana Talib
Published: November 2021

This paper introduced an algorithm for lossless image compression to compress natural and medical images. It is based on utilizing various casual fixed predictors of one or two dimension to get rid of the correlation or spatial redundancy embedded between image pixel values then a recursive polynomial model of a linear base is used.

The experimental results of the proposed compression method are promising in terms of preserving the details and the quality of the reconstructed images as well improving the compression ratio as compared with the extracted results of a traditional linear predicting coding system.
Ritornelo, escala y repolitización en las luchas urbanas en Santiago de Chile : una reflexión para el análisis escalar (1984-2021).
Authors: Paulsen Espinoza Alex
Published: November 2021

Los análisis de las escalas geográficas en las ciencias sociales se han enfocado desde una perspectiva de tamaño y nivel, pero en menor medida en términos relacionales. A continuación, se presenta una reflexión que parte desde el concepto de ritornelo que inauguran Deleuze y Guattari en su trabajo Mil Mesetas. Este concepto tiene claras ramificaciones espaciales y escalares en los escritos de estos autores, y, pueden ser productivas para los análisis de las escalas en contextos interdisciplinares. Sumado a ello, agregamos una reflexión sobre las escalas para finalizar con la (re)politización de las escalas por medio del ritornelo/voz que puede tener implicaciones importantes en las estructuras políticas de las democracias liberales actuales a través del caso del Movimiento de Pobladores Ukamau.

Authors: Díez Adriano , Romero José Manuel , Márquez José Francisco
Published: November 2021

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la configuración espacial, la magnitud y la caracterización sociodemográfica del retorno, a partir de las tipologías de los movimientos migratorios en el departamento del Atlántico, con el fin de acercar la teoría geográfica a los estudios del retorno, en cuanto a los patrones de localización, movilidad espacial y selectividad del perfil migratorio. A la luz de la pluralidad de estrategias de investigación, se combinaron fuentes estadísticas, bibliográficas, documentales y análisis espacial. El análisis de datos se abordó mediante tres fases: magnitud espacio-temporal, patrones de localización y selectividad de las características sociodemográficas. Los resultados demostraron el ingente protagonismo del retorno en el departamento del Atlántico, caracterizado por una trayectoria lineal de migración sur-sur de ida y vuelta, relacionada con la intensidad migratoria procedente de Venezuela, además de unos patrones de localización territorial de fuerte y perfecta en la correlación inmigración-retorno; y la selección positiva de la feminización del retorno en el perfil migratorio.
Escalas narrativas : la espacialización de la memoria en territorio Mapuche.
Authors: Bleger Mariel Verónica
Published: November 2021

A partir de distintos trabajos emprendidos con comunidades mapuche que se encuentran atravesando conflictos territoriales, se despliegan en este trabajo estrategias y modos de resistencia. Así como la superposición de tres escalas narrativas que los territorios albergan. Por un lado, la narrativa del Estado-nación y sus mecanismos de expropiación. En segundo lugar, la escala narrativa de cada una de las familias mapuche que han podido sobrevivir al genocidio de comienzos del siglo XIX. Y, en tercer lugar, la narrativa que recoge las trayectorias individuales de quienes en la actualidad se encuentran recuperando territorios ancestrales. La idea de escalas narrativas como una manera de entender las trayectorias nacionales, comunales y personales como forma de espacializar los trabajos de memoria. Donde lo que está en disputa, para el pueblo mapuche, no es solo el territorio sino el modo de entenderlo.

It studies the densely populated slums with little urban spaces, narrow sidewalks, traffic jams, and degraded environmental components. This paper addresses the question of how shall we reopen post-covid-19 cities sustainably and lively? Our method to find a solution is an innovative mathematical model that suggests revision in the current regulations and standards, sizes, and per capita of urban spaces with the help of maximizing necessary investments. This paper analyzes crowded neighborhoods, urban transport sites, and polluted environments where people cannot respect world health organization protocols concerning individual and public health protection. This research aims to maximize investment in public health protection for supplying suitable urban places’ sizes. Outcomes of this research will be helpful to reopen cities in the post-Covid-19 everywhere in the world.
Manifestation of the attitude of V. O. Klyuchevsky to the educational reform of Peter the Great (based on the course of “Russian History” by V. O. Klyuchevsky)
Authors: Wang Lele
Published: November 2021

This article discusses the peculiarities of manifestation of the category of the author’s image in working with historical sources in V. O. Klyuchevsky course of “Russian History”. Major attention is given to the educational reform during the reign of Peter the Great. Category of the author’s image as a personal attitude of the author to object of depiction, which indicates the beginning of the text, was studied primarily on the material of literary texts in the works of such scholars as V. V. Vinogradov, L. A. Novikov, M. L. Novikova. But is has explanatory potential to the scientific text. I. I. Baklanova gave a general principle for the analysis and identification of the author's image in the scientific text; however, this category has not been studied in a specific work of scientific style. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the category of the author's image in the scientific course of “Russian History” is examined for the first time. The article employs the method of philological analysis of the text; examines the use of linguistic means as a form of expressing the author's thoughts. Comparative method is applied for juxtaposition of the initial idea with the acquired result, as well as for tracing the causal link to determine correlation of the content with the author's idea. It is established that the image of the historian is represented by contrariety of the initial concept of the reform, reflected in the dialogue between the Tsar and Patriarch Adrian, and its actual implementation indicated in the quotations from the decrees (1713–1723). Category of the author's image also manifests in linguistic means used to characterize the selected facts. The obtained results can be used in such university courses as “Philological text analysis”, “Stylistics of the Russian language”, “Russian language and speech culture”. The article reveals that V. O. Klyuchevsky expressed objection to the educational reform of Peter the Great.
Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix in the Trauma and Acute Care Surgical Practice
Authors: Fernández Luis , Shar Adam , Matthews Marc , Kim Paul , Thompson Christopher , Williams Natalie , Stutsman Mandy
Published: November 2021

Complex cutaneous wounds resulting from disease and trauma can be difficult to heal and may require advanced treatment options. Split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) and other biologic allogeneic and xenogeneic skin substitutes are limited in their ability to manage these lesions, and STSGs may also be limited in availability. A synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix, engineered with an architecture similar to native extracellular matrix, has been shown to have excellent durability and does not carry the risks of disease transmission or inflammatory response associated with biologic materials; it may offer a new option for managing these complex wounds. In this preliminary study, the synthetic matrix was used to treat 3 patients with difficult-to-treat wounds, including lesions associated with calciphylaxis, enteroatmospheric abdominal fistula, and necrotizing fasciitis of the hand with exposed tendon. Treatment with the synthetic matrix resulted in significant reepithelialization and wound healing. The successful results suggest that the synthetic matrix enables healing of complex cutaneous wounds and may be a reasonable alternative to STSG, even in particularly challenging cases.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Boguslavskyy Oleksandr , Tsykhotska Olha ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of indicators and main directions of transfer of goods and technologies of dual use. The research was carried out using theoretical methods of analysis, comparison and analysis of statistical data. It was determined that currently the chemical industry is a high- tech industry that is developing most dynamically in the world, as this sector ranks second in terms of international trade. To deepen the understanding of the topic, the features of the chemical industry market in Europe, the USA, Ukraine, Asia and Africa were analyzed. A comparative statistical analysis of the volume of trade in chemical products in different regions of the world was conducted and the commodity structure of chemical exports as of 2020 was analyzed. It is determined that export control over the transfer of dual-use goods and technologies in the chemical industry is a multi-stage system. Activities in this area are carried out primarily to protect the interests of the state. Powers in this area are distributed among various government agencies. In this regard, there are a large number of legal acts governing activities in the field of export control. In addition to national legislation, there are a number of international organizations that carry out their activities on the regulation of export control. To analyze the functioning of the system of export control over the transfer of dual-use goods and technologies in the chemical industry, the used national legal framework and international agreements in this area were studied. Key issues related to the export and import of chemical products in Ukraine have been identified. The results presented in the article can serve as a basis for further research in the field of technology transfer and dual-use goods.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the needs of farmers in Henan for vocational training, provide references for the government to formulate rural human resource training policies and provide vocational training services to the society, and ultimately serve the sustainable rural development strategy. The sustainable development of the village is inseparable from the support of the village's external resources and the joint effect of the internal driving force. In the context of the continuous input of external resources to the countryside, the importance of internal driving forces has become increasingly prominent. This driving force comes from fully respecting the wishes of farmers. On the one hand, they need the protection of laws and systems to give them the power to understand the decision-making of rural affairs; on the other hand, the improvement of farmers' vocational skills enables them to participate in the implementation of rural affairs. The survey results show that more than 53.3% of farmers have vocational training need for planting technology, food processing technology and breeding technology, and nearly half of farmers have other vocational training need. The survey results in terms of age show that farmers aged 30 to 50 have a strong demand for vocational training. Peasants in this age group account for a large proportion of the population and are willing to become licensed. They an important potential force for rural development. Depending on the survey results, the relationship between the demand for vocational training and rural tourism, e-commerce sales of agricultural products, and land transfer systems was discussed. It is believed that without the support of human resources in related industries, various rural development plans will be unattainable. Conclusion: On the one hand, local governments should improve the vocational training system for farmers, and make full use of agricultural colleges and social vocational training institutions to provide farmers with vocational training supplies. On the other hand, villages should fully consider regional human resource conditions before making development plans or undertaking industrial projects. Only when the village realizes the continuous reproduction of the human resources it needs, can it be possible to reduce the waste of innumerable resources and realize the sustainable development of the village and the country’s revitalization and development strategy formulated by the country.

The article substantiates the relevance of research in the field of project management, in general, and project team management, in particular. The main directions of scientific research in the field of project team management are investigated. The existence of a limited range of research in the field of project team management at the strategic level has been proven, which causes significant basic risks of project implementation. The main strategic characteristics of project team formation are identified: creating a cult of quality, creating intermediate finishes to enjoy the work, building a sense of elitism, allowing and encouraging heterogeneity, maintaining and protecting successful teams, ensuring strategic direction. The compliance of the strategic characteristic "creating a cult of quality" with a separate principle of the Agile project method is proved, and the high level of influence of such strategic characteristic of project team management on achieving a high level of project product quality in limited time and resources is substantiated. It is also proved that other researched strategic characteristics of project team formation fully correlate with the values and principles of the Agile project method, which actualizes their importance for project management in general, and project team formation in particular. That is why the important competencies of a project manager are the ability to implement strategic management and the ability to manage project teams. Instead, the inadequate level of compliance with the parameters of certain strategic characteristics of the formation of project teams was identified as the main reason for failure to achieve project objectives or lower quality of project products. The priority approach to the formation of project teams is singled out, under which the project manager, being the undisputed leader, builds the project team on a role basis, provided that an effective communication system and a clear division of responsibilities.

For most enterprises the main purpose of their activities is to obtain proper financial results. For this reason, management of the enterprises requires a preliminary assessment of their economic potential. In particular, this concerns the potential to increase the competitiveness of enterprises. The assessment of the enterprise competitiveness potential is a prerequisite for determining the reserves of increasing its competitive advantages. The competitiveness is to a large extent affected by the management skills of business owners and managers. In particular, this refers to the ability to develop and implement a scientifically based strategy of competitive struggle and to manage the factors that shape the competitiveness. Nowaday much attention is paid to the assessing the competitiveness of both individual products and enterprises that produce them. It is worth to mention that the issue of managing the enterprise competitiveness is studied by many scientists. At the same time, the issue of managing the competitiveness of enterprises in modern scientific literature is more focused on the problem of better use of the real enterprise competitive potential rather than the question of this potential developing. The objective of the paper is to establish the essence and justification of assessment indicators of the enterprises competitiveness potential. This potential captures the ability of enterprises to provide a certain level of competitiveness in the future. Therefore, the following main tasks were consistently solved: the essence of the competitiveness potential were determined; the general approaches to its assessment were proposed; regularities of managing the factors of the enterprises competitiveness formation were determined. A two-stage assessment of enterprise competitiveness potential is proposed. The first stage is the measurement of the existing level of competitiveness. At the second stage changes of the competitiveness indicators in the future are projected. Further research on the assessment of the competitiveness potential of enterprises requires the construction of formalized models of rotation of industry leaders as a result of technological changes.
