The main goal of this chapter is to evaluate the relative efficiency of tourism development in 33 European countries using a Two-stage DEA model for the seven-year time period. The output-oriented DEA model with a variable return to scale has been applied, with one input variable (government expenditure for travel and tourism (T&T)) and four output variables (average receipts per arrival, number of international tourist arrivals, T&T share of GDP and T&T share of employment). Results of the first stage showed that the lowest average efficiency scores were achieved in countries that recently joined the European Union, while a significant increase of efficiency is observed in the results of Western Balkan countries. The highest average efficiency score achieved countries in the EU15 group. Results of the second stage indicate the statistically significant relationships of the tourism efficiency scores with average international tourism receipt per arrival, tourism industry share of GDP and share of employment, government prioritization of tourism industry, visa requirements, number of rooms, rate of use and number of natural sites.

The wineries recognized the increasingly important role of digital marketing as a valuable and appropriate tool to reach consumers. Wineries owners need to learn to use and apply social media in their marketing activities, as well as which activities are most effective for their needs. This paper intends to provide a brief analysis of digital wine marketing and social media marketing contributions for the wineries to increase brand awareness, sales, and development. The purpose of this research is to investigate social media adoption and engagement amongst wineries and more importantly to understand the activities they use to interact with consumers on social media platforms. For the purpose of this paper, a structured questionnaire was created. The authors wanted to examine to what extent the wineries are familiar with digital marketing and how much they use it in their own business. The study included 50 wineries across Serbia. Serbian wineries need to be more competitive on the tourist market and understand better the mode of functioning of different systems. The results show that Facebook and Instagram are the main platforms that wineries use to engage with consumers.

Published: June 2021

The topic of this paper is the branding of the tourist offer of birdwatching in Belgrade. Although it brings significant income to the world, birdwatching in Serbia is still not adequately recognized and there is no developed offer of programs for bird watchers. Serbia has no access to the sea and must rely on eco-tourism, primarily spa and rural tourism. Unlike other types of tourism, birdwatching does not require significant investments in infrastructure. It is practiced by nature lovers of all ages and develops in all areas where birds can be observed, from backyards, parks to hard-to-reach and untouched parts of nature. Promoting this type of hobby can have a significant impact on spending more time in nature, as well as raising awareness of the need to preserve nature. The uniqueness of the birdwatching offer on the territory of the city of Belgrade is reflected in the presence of a large number of different habitats in a relatively small area, so it is possible to see almost in one focus and the Whitetailed eagle and the wetland bird.

Extraordinary times require an extraordinary response, especially when economic growth is at stake. Tourism contributes to economic growth in Western Balkans and has been robust in recent years. That was supported by new business models which make it possible for households to participate in the digital economy, including online platforms for travel accommodation. Internet connectivity and digital skills are crucial in that respect. This paper looks at the convergence of the Western Balkan candidate countries to the European Union (EU) in terms of connectivity and the digital skills needed. Analysis of data derived from questionnaires and other sources at the Eurostat show that candidate countries participate in the collaborative economy less and are below EU average in terms of digitalization. Investments supported by EU commitment to the region could improve internet connectivity and digital skills in the Western Balkans. That would benefit their economies which is especially relevant now considering the Covid-19 outbreak in the first quarter of 2020 and its disruption to achieving many goals. The argument for further digitalization is even more important.

The tourism supply chain (TSC) consists of different participants: suppliers, tour operators and customers; in TSC, numerous physical and information flows to end customers are realized. Efficient realization of flows is enabled by logistics systems and technologies. In this way, logistics contribute to the competitiveness of tourism products. TSC participants can be trade, production, catering, logistics companies, travel agencies, but also households, primarily in rural areas. Households can play a role at all levels of TSC (suppliers of goods, materials and services, tour operators, travel agencies, end customers) and in various forms of tourism, but they play the most important role in rural and agritourism. Logistics is important in the optimization of logistics flows of households in TSC, having in mind imperatives of quality of goods, services, or complete tourism products that they can supply customers with. Therefore, in this paper, the role, significance and basic characteristics of subsystems of household logistics in TSC are analyzed.

It is noted that there are many serious risks to the safety and health of workers at poultry farms in Ukraine. These hazards include exposure to high levels of noise, dust, hazardous equipment, slippery floors, musculoskeletal disorders, hazardous chemicals and biological hazards. Studies show that prolonged exposure to high noise levels leads to noise hearing loss in workers of all ages. When performing work on catching, transplanting, transporting poultry, taking blood for chemical and serological tests, the noise level in the poultry house reaches 8690 dB. It is noted that during the repair and maintenance of machinery and equipment there is a risk of injury due to heat, electric shock, burns, cuts, tears, amputation or fractures of body parts. Poultry workers are the most vulnerable occupational group in terms of the risk of developing respiratory diseases. It has been established that 8-hour inhalation of dust in a concentration exceeding 4 mg/m3 is especially dangerous. The highest level of respiratory diseases was in 45-55-year-old workers. It is noted that poultry workers are exposed to ergonomic risks, which can cause injuries to the musculoskeletal system. The researchers found that 81% of poultry processing jobs have an increased level of repetitive hand movements and exertion. Workers complained of pain, numbness, burning, tingling in the hands or wrists. It is noted that new technologies will be able to reduce some types of ergonomic injuries. A significant danger for poultry workers is the risk of catching avian influenza. It is noted that workers have the right to healthy and safe working conditions, the development of special programs to protect them from industrial hazards. To protect workers, it is necessary to implement engineering and control measures and provide appropriate personal protective equipment.

Library’s Augmented Reality (AR) Projects: Foreign Experience
Authors: Bondarenko Viktoriya , Hranchak Tetiana
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes the positive foreign experience of implementing augmented reality (AR) library projects. It has been found out that the most common uses of augmented reality in libraries today are providing access to information products with augmented reality and their promotion, navigation of library space and resources, promoting user education through the creation of appropriate applications with learning materials and resources and simplification for the user assimilation of information due to the diversity and interactivity of its visual presentation, informing and providing access to cultural heritage sites, organizing tours and exhibitions.
Given that the use of AR in libraries not only expands the range of services and resources but also positively affects its reputation as an interactive creative institution, open to users and innovation, AR technology is effective not only in the library service system but also in the marketing activities of the institution, helping to attract new users.
Current approaches to the implementation of library projects using augmented reality technology are highlighted. Their assistance in strengthening corporate culture, inter-institutional ties, and civil society is substantiated. It has been proved that the AR applications created as a result of project implementation operate on the principle of integrated information products, which allow the user to access distributed information from one access point via mobile phone, integrating not only information of the virtual space of the Internet environment but also real, physical, space.
The advantages of AR implementation in the library have been determined, among which: budget realization, easy integration with available technologies, and promotion of interactivity of library service. The need for professional development of librarians and the organization of training courses on the use of immersive technologies in library activities is emphasized.
Enhancing leadership qualities for conflict management in intercultural business environments (as part of professional and foreign language preparation of future economists of international economic relations)
Authors: Aleksandrova Nataliya
Published: June 2021

The goal of this writing is to advocate the significance of educating and enhancing leadership qualities and skills for successful conflict management situations. By analyzing the current trends in doing business nationally and globally, understanding approaches to manage conflicts in a cross-cultural business environment we have identified professional requirements for graduates seeking beneficial and successful careers in international business, economic relationships and management. Analyzing relevant articles the author points out that today’s business environment is notably sustainability-driven and aimed at maintaining the conditions that allow it to flourish in cross-cultural teams over time. Thus, organizations’ leaders and managers are and will be aimed at building enduring business institutions. The author underlines the importance of acquiring cultural awareness, basic knowledge of conflict management and cultivating leadership qualities in the process of foreign language preparation at university. The novelty of our research lies in the fact that we have undertaken an attempt to connect the importance of leadership qualities with the relevance of analyzing conflict management in general. We also emphasize that in future the global business will undoubtedly face a talent void, and, consequently, professionals able to think and treat different situations holistically will predominate the labour market. In the article, we also share our own experience of improving our students’ leadership qualities. The conflict management grid is analyzed. Based on the recent publications we suggested some crucial steps to be undertaken to achieve success in conflict management.
The role of a garantor in the quality assurence processes at the stage of educational program formation
Authors: Butenko Andrii , Yeremenko Olena
Published: June 2021

The article explores specific aspects of involving the guarantor of the educational program in its formation. The urgency is due to intensive changes in the quality assurance system of higher education, which require performing related new functions by research and teaching staff. That is why the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education has proposed a separate functional – the guarantor of the educational program – who coordinates the design, updating and implementation of the educational program. Correct involvement of the guarantor at the stage of the educational program formation will help to avoid the shortcomings caused by violation of logic and the formal attitude to the maintenance of educational programs.

A survey of educational program guarantors was developed and conducted, thanks to which it was established that the vast majority of them were deliberately involved at all major stages of the educational program formation. It is rather positive that even at the stage of initiation, which is primarily the preference of collective and / or administrative bodies of higher education institutions, guarantors are informed about the possibility of opening an educational program. Guarantors are actively involved in studying the experience of foreign and Ukrainian educational programs, primarily determining which of them deserve attention. However, it should be emphasized that both in the development of best practices and in the development of the curriculum as part of the educational program guarantors recognize the most important parameter of educational components that is logical, because it is based on the educational process implementation.

It can be stated that the lack of sufficient practical experience, the process of accumulation and analysis of pros and cons in the educational process formation, which is still ongoing, currently do not allow to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the conclusive creation and certainty of the guarantor’s functionality. Therefore, it is important, on the one hand, to conduct further research and outreach on the guarantor’s functionality and participation in the educational program formation, and on the other – to promote the development and improvement of the local regulatory framework of higher education institutions on this issue.

This research studied the possibility of using ozone to remove iron from groundwater. The optimum conditions were investigated using a Box-Behnken experiment design with statistical analysis by response surface technique. The three parameters investigated, pH (6.0-8.0), hardness (300-500 mg/L as CaCO3) and removal time (10 to 60 min) were independent parameters of iron removal. Data was examined for optimal conditions and included main effects and their interactions. Analysis of variance indicated that the proposed quadratic model successfully interpreted the experimental data with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 98.83% and adjusted R2 of 96.72%. Through this model, it could predict the iron removal efficiency under variable conditions. Furthermore, the optimum conditions were pH 6.99, hardness of 300 mg/L as CaCO3, and 10 min of reaction time. The predicted iron removal efficiency obtained from the model under the optimum conditions was 99.00%. The experiment confirmed that the optimum condition which validated the model’s accuracy of iron removal efficiency was 98.45%. The results showed that ozone can remove iron from groundwater.

Several studies regarding the quality of life of chronic spontaneous urticaria patients based on Autologous Serum Skin Test (ASST) results have shown a variety of results. This study aims to determine the correlation between the quality of life and ASST results in chronic spontaneous urticaria patients at Dermatology and Venereology (DV) Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang. This analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design used secondary data in the form of medical records. 76 samples met the inclusion criteria from 110 samples of chronic spontaneous urticaria patients at DV outpatient clinic. The distribution of chronic spontaneous urticaria patients was highest in the 17-25 year age group (23.7%) and the female group (64.5%). The majority of chronic spontaneous urticaria patients had negative ASST results (52.6%). The effect of chronic spontaneous urticaria on the decline in quality of life was mostly moderate (35.5%). The bivariate analysis between DLQI score and ASST results with a value of p = 0.307 or p> 0.05 showed no significant correlation between the quality of life and ASST results.

Published: June 2021

In the early days of Artificial Intelligence, it was observed that tasks which humans consider ‘natural’ and ‘commonplace’, such as Natural Language Understanding, Natural Language Generation and Vision were the most difficult task to carry over to computers. Nevertheless, attempts to crack the proverbial NLP nut were made, initially with methods that fall under ‘Symbolic NLP’. One of the products of this era was ELIZA. At present the most promising forays into the world of NLP are provided by ‘Neural NLP’, which uses Representation Learning and Deep Neural networks to model, understand and generate natural language. In the present paper the authors tried to develop a Conversational Intelligent Chatbot, a program that can chat with a user about any conceivable topic, without having domain-specific knowledge programmed into it. This is a challenging task, as it involves both ‘Natural Language Understanding’ (the task of converting natural language user input into representations that a machine can understand) and subsequently ‘Natural Language Generation’ (the task of generating an appropriate response to the user input in natural language). Several approaches exist for building conversational chatbots. In the present paper, two models have been used and their performance has been compared and contrasted. The first model is purely generative and uses a Transformer-based architecture. The second model is retrieval-based, and uses Deep Neural Networks.
Importance of Name Disambiguation in Scientific Databases

Published: June 2021

Ambiguity in digital citation databases is a major bottleneck in attribution of proper credit to authors and thus hampers the process of profiling authors in true sense. It is quite common for academics and researchers to share common or similar names and the recent surge of digital citation records has amplified the problem exponentially. Realizing the prowess of information and communication technologies and the ease with which the information can be stored, managed and shared online, traditional publishers and databases have joined the bandwagon and embarked on the journey of digitizing their records. In the absence of an effective mechanism, it becomes extremely difficult for a computer to discriminate between similar entities and more so in case of our names. This paper highlights some of the major advantages and drawbacks of prominent categories of solutions by supporting the inferences with relevant backups, wherever required.

Mobile ads are tormented with deceitful clicks that may be an important test for the advertising network. Albeit documented promotion systems utilize various methods to acknowledge click fraud, they don’t shield the client from conceivable intrigue among distributors and advertisement systems. What’s additional, promotion systems can’t screen the client’s action for click fraud location once they're entertained to the advertising web content following clicking the ad, i.e., in a web site there will be focuses or some specific spots after we click on the actual spot it'll be entertained to the advertising web site. We propose another publically support-based mostly framework referred to as Click Fraud Crowdsourcing (CFC) that works in conjunction with the two promoters and advertisement organizes therefore as to defend the two gatherings from any conceivable click dishonorable acts. The framework profits by each a worldwide view, wherever it accumulates various promotion demands examining to various advertising organize distributer publicist blends, and a nearby read, wherever it will follow the clients’ commitment in every advertising website.

As the world is moving faster, humans are not taking a step back to make the world more better place, may it be by enhanced technology or extreme creativity. We know that a human life now is full of technology and every little thing is just a click away that is the favour of automation for everything. If we explore Automation more, the major concepts which will still the spotlight are Artificial Intelligent (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and the list will continue. The other concept which steals the limelight and make every automation possible is the programming language we use to make the features we are now using possible. The language which is exponentially gaining fame is Python. If all the above mentioned technology is combined together, we get most of the automation possible today. At every corner of the world, this technology is being used to make things lively and possible. Not only companies but every industry (food, entertainment, education, manufacturers and many more) are relying on this technology. The calculation which plays a significant role in almost every bit is also being automated to make the things very simpler and quicker. Even though, we have calculator but it still cannot solve the problems which are needed to be solve in some platforms. In this paper, we shall be discussing about a similar concept.

The current scenario gives rise to a necessity of a single platform of accommodation facilities. It is very difficult to access all accommodation facilities individually. This website can act as an interface between the owners and the users. In this project, we are going to develop an online website which aims at providing accommodation facilities for people. The facilities available are hostels, mess and rooms/flats. Any person can view the details of the facilities but will not be able to give feedback like comments or ratings unless he is a registered user thus disallowing false defamation of any facility. He/She can contact the owner directly with the contact details. To avoid defamatory publicity, only the registered users can add comments.
