Assessment of the financial and economic situation at Ukrainian enterprises during the war
Authors: ZASLAVSKA Olha
Published: June 2024

The financial stability of the enterprise is the main criterion that indicates its financial condition and ensures successful functioning. With the beginning of the war, many Ukrainian enterprises became insolvent due to their own financial problems, illiquidity and circumstances that made it impossible to continue business. The paper analyzes the results of a survey of domestic business entities with regard to their expectations regarding the current financial situation. It is studied the share of enterprises operating at full and almost full capacity compared to the pre-war period. There are clarified the main challenges that domestic enterprises are exposed to during the war, in terms of industries. During the war, problems with electricity, water and heat supply interruptions and rising prices for raw materials shared the first place in the rating of business obstacles. Difficulties with the transportation of raw materials and goods in Ukraine were recognized as the third most significant problem. Labor safety ranks fourth in the rating. Disruption of supply chains ranks fifth. There are summarized the main transformations that took place in the country's economy during the war and affected the financial stability of domestic enterprises. They are the following: enterprises revised their approaches to labor organization and the dimensions of production or service provision; in two-thirds of enterprises there was a reduction in personnel; half of the enterprises reviewed their customer base and/or suppliers; businesses began investing in business continuity (generators, communications) and security (relocation costs or employee safety). All of this complicates the financial condition of the business, because at the same time as income decreases, the items of forced expenses increase. From these positions, indicators of the assessment of the financial and economic situation and expectations in the future at Ukrainian enterprises are studied. As a result, there are systematized the directions of adaptation of domestic enterprises to support financial security in wartime, namely: attraction of direct and indirect financial investments, resumption of export of own products and participation in state and international financial aid programs.

Trends in corruption and shadow economy in European countries
Authors: YEFIMENKO Alina , DUBOVENKO Maksym
Published: June 2024

Corruption and the shadow economy are among the most pressing issues facing European countries. These phenomena significantly impact the socio-economic development, political stability, and legal systems of states. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the trends of corruption and the shadow economy in 34 European countries over the period from 2010 to 2022. The research employed tools such as grouping, comparison and generalization methods, time series analysis, and descriptive statistics calculations. Calculations were based on World Bank data using StataSE 18 software. Analyzing the standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values of corruption and shadow economy indicators identifies the most variable indicators: the indicator of primary government expenditures as initially approved budgets and the corruption perception index. It was found that despite the implementation of numerous anti-corruption reforms and regulatory measures, countries such as Albania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Bulgaria continue to face high levels of corruption, as evidenced by their low corruption perception index levels. The main reasons for this included weak enforcement mechanisms, gaps in accountability, and low levels of transparency in public administration. The least corrupt European countries were Denmark, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, and Sweden. This research observed high levels of the shadow economy in Ukraine, Cyprus, and Moldova, while Denmark, Norway, and Sweden demonstrated the lowest levels. The results of the study can be used to develop organisational and economic measures to combat corruption and the shadow economy by public authorities, business entities and other economic agents, which is important for the economic growth of European countries.

Authors: HORBAN Oleksandr , BAIEVA Liliia , LIVAK Anton
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The need to establish the rule of law in Ukraine, to choose a course for membership in the European Union, to adapt Ukrainian legislation to EU legislation, the legal basis of which is determined by the National Program for the Adaptation of Ukrainian Legislation, as well as to improve the legal basis of the functioning of the prosecutor’s office of Ukraine.
The purpose of the paper is to reveal the main aspects of the reform of prosecutor’s offices in the EU countries, as well as to investigate the issue of their application in Ukraine.
The results. At the current stage of the development of the Ukrainian state, the course towards integration into the European Union and the need to raise the necessary standards of compliance with human rights and freedoms require the most effective and rational choice of the organizational and management structure, as well as the functioning of the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor’s office has always been considered and used as an effective tool for the developзment of social relations and, in particular, strengthening the rule of law as a fundamental value of society and the state. The corresponding democratic structures of the national legal systems of developed countries clearly define that the prosecutor’s office is one of the fundamental state institutions that ensures the rule of law and protection of human rights. It goes without saying that without the proper organization and effective functioning of the prosecutor’s office, the existence of a legal state would be impossible. The complex of mechanisms for harmonizing the legislation of Ukraine with European standards is aimed at the implementation of state policy on the creation of a modern national legal system by improving the law-making and law-enforcement activities of state authorities, introducing a unified system of planning, coordination and monitoring of law-enforcement work. There will be optimization of prosecutorial activity management processes, primarily through digitization.
Conclusion. Using the foreign experience of administrative and legal support of the activities of the prosecutor’s office, it is important to consider that external standards can influence the internal model of the national prosecutor’s office and lead to the replacement of its specific features in favor of general external standards that correspond to the general dynamics of globalization.
The specificity of legal terminology in implementation of the competence approach in learning English
Authors: PAVLOV Volodymyr
Published: June 2024

Legal terminology is considered one of the most significant branch terminologies and is a complex aspect of foreign language learning. Legal terminology is an intermediate link between different fields of knowledge and spheres of human activity. Therefore, the system of higher education took a course to train specialists capable of translating legal texts in both written and oral forms, thus implementing a competency-based approach to teaching foreign languages.
The relevance of the research is determined by the study of modern approaches to teaching the translation of legal terminology within the framework of the implementation of the competence approach.
The implementation of a comprehensive and balanced approach to mastering communicative linguistic, intercultural, as well as primary professional competences will undoubtedly contribute to the improvement of English in purely professional communication situations at each subsequent stage of education.
Thus, while following a comprehensive approach, we give priority to the formation of communicative linguistic competences, as well as a number of professional communicative competences in general and professional communication situations in accordance with level B2 of the European standard, while special attention is paid to the ability to correctly select the meaning of special terms.
At the same time, one of the important tasks remains the development of professional competences through the mastery of legal terminology in English, which is a complex and multifaceted process. Difficulties arising in the process of its study, of course, are not limited to the problems described above. However, the competence approach and cross-cultural perspective of the presentation of the material will undoubtedly contribute to a deeper, meaningful and creative study of English legal terminology.

The formation of market relations and the aggravation of the economic situation in Ukraine require new approaches to enterprise management. The basis for decision-making on all issues of the company's activity is financial information necessary for a complete and comprehensive analysis of the state of its assets, liabilities and equity. The main source of information is financial reporting. The value of the balance sheet as the main reporting form cannot be overestimated, as it allows you to have an idea of the property and financial situation of the enterprise. The purpose of the paper is to research the peculiarities of the formation of the enterprise's balance sheet according to international standards. Also, the analysis of the formation of the balance sheet according to the National Accounting Regulations and in accordance with international standards. Therefore, the balance sheet is a system of indicators that characterizes the wide value ratio of the company's funds. The balance reflects the composition, placement, use and sources of funds of enterprises, organizations and budgetary institutions.
The paper examines the peculiarities of forming a company's balance sheet in accordance with international standards. Specifically, it focuses on key aspects that define the process of preparing financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards. The authors explore the impact of international standards on balance sheet formation, including aspects such as asset and liability valuation, reporting on current assets, financial instruments, and more. It is noted that the adoption of international standards requires companies not only to comply with new rules but also to review and improve their internal processes and management systems. The study also highlights the advantages and challenges associated with the implementation of international standards in the practice of corporate accounting. The final recommendations of the paper emphasize the importance for companies to study and implement international standards in order to enhance their competitiveness and financial reporting transparency.

Vision-based Human Activity Recognition Using Local Phase Quantization
Authors: Pandey Madhuri , Mishra Richa , Khare Ashish
Published: June 2024

Human activity recognition (HAR) has been the most active and interesting area of research in recent years due to its wide range of applications in the field, such as healthcare, security and surveillance, robotics, gaming, entertainment, etc. However, recognizing vision-based human activity is still a challenging as input sequences may have cluttered background, illumination conditions, occlusions, degradation of video quality, blurring, etc. In the literature, several state-of-the-art methods have been trained and tested on different datasets but have yet to perform adequately to a certain extent. Moreover, extracting potential features and combining appropriate methods is one of the most challenging tasks in realistic video. This paper proposes an efficient frequency-based blur-invariance local phase quantization feature extractor and multiclass SVM classifier that overcomes these challenges. The feature is invariant towards camera motion, misfocused optics, movements in the scene, and environmental conditions. The proposed feature vector is then fed to the classifier to recognize human activities. The experiment has conducted on two publicly available datasets, UCF101 and HMDB51, and has achieved 99.79% and 98.67% accuracies, respectively. The approach has also outperformed the existing state-of-the-art approaches in terms of computational cost without compromising the accuracy of HAR.

Purpose: For the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), research on primary lesions with mesorectal fascia (MRF) involvement is lacking. This study analyzed the clinical outcomes and efficacy of dose-escalated neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) to patients with LARC involving MRF.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 301 patients who were diagnosed with LARC involving MRF and underwent NCRT followed by total mesorectal excision (TME). Patients who received radiotherapy (RT) doses of ≤50.4 Gy were defined as the non-boost group, while ≥54.0 Gy as the boost group. Pathological tumor response and survival outcomes, including intrapelvic recurrence-free survival (IPRFS), distant metastases-free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS), were analyzed.Results: A total of 269 patients (89.4%) achieved a negative pathological circumferential resection margin and 104 (34.6%) had good pathological tumor regression grades. With a median follow-up of 32.4 months, IPRFS, DMFS, and OS rates at 5-years were 88.6%, 78.0%, and 91.2%, respectively. In the subgroup analysis by RT dose, the boost group included more advanced clinical stages of patients. For the non-boost group and boost group, 5-year IPRFS rates were 90.3% and 87.0% (p = 0.242), 5-year DMFS rates were 82.0% and 71.3% (p = 0.105), and 5-year OS rates were 93.0% and 80.6% (p = 0.439), respectively. Treatment related toxicity was comparable between the two groups (p = 0.211).Conclusion: Although this retrospective study failed to confirm the efficacy of dose-escalated NCRT, favorable IPRFS and pathological complete response was achieved with NCRT followed by TME. Further studies combining patient customized RT dose with systemic therapies are needed.

Published: June 2024

This study delves into the conceptualization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a crucial factor for fostering sustainable development and enhancing social welfare. It addresses the challenge of comprehensively perceiving the contributions of CSR activities to sustainable and socially responsible corporate practices. Using a bibliometric approach, this research scrutinizes a substantial corpus of literature, extracting 4,276 documents covering from 2009 to 2024 from the Scopus database, centered on the interplay between CSR, sustainable development, and social welfare. The research utilized the R Biblioshiny software for data analysis incorporates descriptive, annual scientific production, most relevant sources, core sources by Bradford’s Law, most relevant affiliations, corresponding author’s countries, network, and trend analyses to chart the progression and influence of CSR within these realms. Findings underscore a marked expansion in CSR-related research, spotlighting its evolution from mere charity to an integral component of strategic business operations. Emerging patterns reveal that businesses increasingly view CSR as a pivotal part of their value proposition rather than an optional extra. Despite the growth of academic interest, the study has identified a lacuna in the empirical understanding of how CSR strategies are effectively implemented. Recommendations call for a more seamless incorporation of CSR into the very fabric of corporate strategy and operations. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for future research to develop precise metrics capable of quantifying CSR’s social and environmental effects. Contributing a nuanced perspective to the discourse on CSR, this research provides a foundational schema for further scholarly investigation, underscoring CSR’s dynamic and essential role in today’s corporate world.

Safely Doing Less for Febrile Infants: Reviewing Management in the Setting of the 2021 American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guideline
Authors: Adler Abigail R. , Browning Whitney L.
Published: June 2024

For more than 4 decades, pediatricians have sought the best practices for effectively managing well-appearing young febrile infants. In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a clinical practice guideline for the management of well-appearing febrile infants aged 8 to 60 days. The guideline incorporates advancements in testing, such as biomarkers and diagnostic testing in the setting of changing epidemiology, to help risk stratify infants in the newly formed group age 22 to 28 days as well as the group age 29 to 60 days. The new guideline uses inflammatory markers (procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, absolute neutrophil count, and a temperature >38.4°C) to identify infants at low risk for invasive bacterial infection who can potentially avoid the invasive procedures of lumbar puncture, hospitalization, and broad-spectrum antimicrobials. Because of continued ambiguity, incorporating shared decision-making with families in the care of these infants will be important, as will ongoing clinical research to better inform future practice.

Management of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: Shedding Light on the American Academy of Pediatrics 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline Revision
Authors: Daggle Lindsey , Sharma Neha , Setiady Initha , Leonard Karen
Published: June 2024

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common conditions managed by pediatricians. Although many infants are affected, most will experience complete resolution without complication. Acute bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus are rare yet debilitating sequelae of severe hyperbilirubinemia that can be avoided through careful monitoring and treatment with phototherapy. Appropriate management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia must balance the risks of these severe conditions with the effects of overtreatment. Released in 2022, the American Academy of Pediatrics revised the clinical practice guideline for the management of hyperbilirubinemia, which aims to provide that balance through updates to the previous guideline. This article will provide the reader with (1) an evidence-based harm and benefit analysis of the guideline, (2) an overview of key changes and clarifications made in the new guideline, and (3) a practical summary of guideline updates.

Review of Urinary Tract Infections and Pyelonephritis
Authors: Pianucci Kimberly , Cipriano Frank , Chung Erica
Published: June 2024

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are serious bacterial infections affecting children of all ages. An understanding of the methods of urine collection is important to prevent the contamination of urine specimens and to interpret results. The diagnosis of a UTI requires appropriate interpretation of both urinalysis and urine culture results because testing must indicate evidence of inflammation and the presence of bacteria. Rapid treatment of UTIs is imperative to prevent acute decompensation and systemic illness. Empiric antibiotics should be narrowed as soon as possible to tailor antibiotic treatment and limit antibiotic overuse. Imaging with a renal ultrasound scan is recommended for all infants with first febrile UTIs rather than a voiding cystourethrogram. An additional goal of UTI treatment is to prevent renal scarring, which can lead to lifelong health consequences. Children with anatomic abnormalities of the urinary tract and those who have recurrent UTIs are at increased risk of renal scarring.

Safely Doing Less Antibiotics: Evidence to Guide Duration and Route of Administration in Common Pediatric Infections
Authors: Shine Alaina , Frolova Gregory Polina , Herns Shayna , Knight Abena
Published: June 2024

The growing evidence detailing the harmful effects of exposure to antibiotics has driven an urgency to evaluate recommendations in common pediatric infections regarding antibiotic course duration and route of administration. The past decade has produced strong evidence in support of many patients with uncomplicated common pediatric infections receiving shortened antibiotic durations and early conversion from intravenous to oral antibiotics. In this review, we offer guidance to providers in selection of duration and route of administration in a subset of common pediatric infections, including community-acquired pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and infections of the head and neck.

Effects of Digital Health Literacy Program on Sufficient Health Behavior Among Thai Working-Age People With Risk Factors for Noncommunicable Diseases
Authors: Intarakamhang Ungsinun , Sriprasertpap Khwanying , Chiangkhong Araya , Srisawasdi Niwat , Wongchan Supitcha , Boocha Piya
Published: June 2024

Background:

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for more than 75% of deaths in Thailand, which is higher than the global average of 71%.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Digital Health Literacy (DHL) and Sufficient Health Behavior (SHB) Program on Thai working-age adults age 20 to 65 years with risk factors for NCDs (i.e., overweight and lacking physical activity), and compare the health literacy (HL) and SHB of participants living in urban and semi-urban areas at posttest.

Methods:

Using the lottery method, this one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design randomly selected 200 participants and assigned them to two equally sized groups. The data were gathered through surveys with an item discrimination power between .20 and .86 and a reliability of 0.94 and were statistically analyzed using
t
-test and F-test.

Key Results:

The DHL and SHB Program comprises six sessions over a 12-week period, and activities designed to enhance knowledge of NCDs, HL, health communication, and health behavior modification. It was conducted by health care workers from urban and semi-urban public hospitals via Zoom using various digital toolkits such as YouTube, animations, infographics, role-play videos, clips, and e-books. At the posttest, the participants had higher HL (
t
= 2.67,
p
= .001) and SHB (
t
= 3.36,
p
= .001). There was a difference in SHB scores (
F
= 4.640,
p
= .032) between those living in urban and those in semi-urban areas, but no difference in HL scores (
F
= 1.436,
p
= .232).

Conclusions:

The DHL and SHB Program improved HL and SHB in Thai working-age adults with risk factors for NCDs in both urban and semi-urban communities. [

Association of Obesity With Health Literacy and Weight Perception Among Women Merchants in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Usui Rui , Aomori Maki , Kanamori Shogo , Sehi Bi Tra Jamal , Watabe Setsuko
Published: June 2024

Background:

In Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire's largest city, obesity rates among women are increasing, posing a major health challenge, especially for the working generation. Merchants represent 64.3% of working women and are a typical occupation for women with low- and middle-income. Health literacy is used to prevent and overcome chronic diseases and can be used as anti-obesity measures.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between obesity, health literacy, and weight perception among women merchants in Abidjan.

Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, we conducted a complete enumeration survey among women merchants in a market in Abidjan from December 2020 to December 2021. In addition to anthropometric measurements, structured face-to-face interviews were conducted. The participants were asked about their weight perception, weight management behaviors, and sociodemographic attributes. They also responded to the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). Data were tabulated using descriptive statistics, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine obesity's association with HLQ scales, weight perception, and weight management behaviors.

Key Results:

Of the 873 participants, 259 (29.7%) were obese; 82% of them underestimated their weight. Obesity was associated with a higher rate of HLQ1 (Feeling understood and supported by health care providers) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.926, confidence interval [CI]:1.450–5.901,
p
= .03), a lower score of HLQ3 (Actively managing my health) (
OR
= 0.343, CI:0.165–0.716,
p
= 0.004), a lower rate of accurate weight perception (
OR
= 0.145, CI: 0.093–0.224,
p
< .001), and a lower rate of eating at least three meals per day (
OR
= 0.401, CI:0.260–0.617,
p
< .001).

Conclusions:

Findings from this study of Abidjan women merchants include obese participants' lack of a proactive attitude toward personal health management, and the association of factors such as inaccurate weight perception and eating fewer than three meals per day with obesity. These finding have important implications for future anti-obesity measures. [

Image data augmentation techniques based on deep learning: A survey
Authors: Zeng Wu
Published: June 2024

In recent years, deep learning (DL) techniques have achieved remarkable success in various fields of computer vision. This progress was attributed to the vast amounts of data utilized to train these models, as they facilitated the learning of more intricate and detailed feature information about target objects, leading to improved model performance. However, in most real-world tasks, it was challenging to gather sufficient data for model training. Insufficient datasets often resulted in models prone to overfitting. To address this issue and enhance model performance, generalization ability, and mitigate overfitting in data-limited scenarios, image data augmentation methods have been proposed. These methods generated synthetic samples to augment the original dataset, emerging as a preferred strategy to boost model performance when data was scarce. This review first introduced commonly used and highly effective image data augmentation techniques, along with a detailed analysis of their advantages and disadvantages. Second, this review presented several datasets frequently employed for evaluating the performance of image data augmentation methods and examined how advanced augmentation techniques can enhance model performance. Third, this review discussed the applications and performance of data augmentation techniques in various computer vision domains. Finally, this review provided an outlook on potential future research directions for image data augmentation methods.
Une éthique si ordinaire : Iris Murdoch
Authors: BRAUNE Camille
Published: June 2024

Sous le titre « Une éthique si ordinaire : Iris Murdoch », cet article entend montrer comment nous pouvons situer Iris Murdoch au cœur de ce que l’on peut appeler une nouvelle éthique ordinaire contemporaine, qui embrasse à la fois les concepts d’attention au langage (c’est-à-dire ce que cela signifie d’être attentif au langage) et d’éthique ordinaire (c’est-à-dire comment la vie ordinaire peut être le terrain privilégié de la vie morale). Il s’agit d’une approche linguistique et littéraire qui fait se rejoindre le courant du perfectionnisme en philosophie morale et l’approche conceptuelle en éthique, et entend proposer une nouvelle éthique de l’attention au langage en tant que projet moral singulier. En resituant Iris Murdoch au cœur des débats de la philosophie morale oxfordienne des années 1950-1960, cet article entend, d’une part, faire la généalogie des concepts clés de la philosophie murdochienne, à savoir la vision, l’amour, le Bien et l’attention, tout en tentant, d’autre part, d’en montrer l’efficacité pour une éthique ordinaire contemporaine.
