Teacher Motivation in Less Endowed Senior High Schools in Tain District of Bono Region
Authors: Kyeremeh Francis Kwaku
Published: September 2022

The study sought to explore the factors that contribute to the graduate teacher’s motivation and retention in the less endowed public senior high schools in the Tain District in the Bono Region. It employed the qualitative research approach using the case study design to examine and interpret the perceptions and experiences of 21 graduate teachers in three less endowed senior high schools at the countryside. The findings revealed that inadequate remuneration, lack of opportunity for promotion and low prestige in teaching were the three most crucial factors which accounted for the drift of graduate teachers from the teaching service into other jobs. It recommended among others that, graduate teachers should be paid realistic and competitive wages in order to ensure higher teacher retention and improve upon their performance. There is the need to establish scholarship and incentive packages for all graduate teachers who accept posting to schools in the rural areas

Authors: Nyarko-Sampson Eric , Kwarteng-Nantwi Eugene , Edjah Jane , Antwi Kwasi Otopa
Published: September 2022

The study investigated the academic adjustment needs of regular undergraduate international students of universities in southern Ghana. The descriptive survey design of the quantitative research approach was employed for the study. The data were analysed using both descriptive (mean, standard deviation and rank) and inferential (Independent-samples t-test) statistics. The findings showed that the academic adjustment needs of international students were quite serious or weighty, and there was no significant difference in the academic adjustment needs of undergraduate regular international students on the basis of gender. On the basis of these findings, it was recommended, among other things, that policy makers and management of the universities must take into account the reality of the academic adjustment needs of regular undergraduate international students no matter their gender. They should also consider effective ways of making their stay in universities in southern Ghana less stressful.
Interrater Reliability Study of the Diploma in Basic Education Examination in English, Mathematics and Integrated Science conducted by the Institute of Education, UCC in Ghana
Authors: Kwapong Jonathan Osae
Published: September 2022

The study was conducted to determine the interrater reliability (ratter agreement) of the Diploma in Basic Education (DBE) examination conducted by the Institute of Education of UCC in Ghana. The population consisted of 13,352 first year students who were admitted for the 2015/2016 academic year to pursue the DBE programme and offered English, Core Mathematics and Integrated Science.  Using the stratified random sampling technique, 600 scripts of each course were sampled from twelve Colleges of Education for the study. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and paired samples t-test were used for the analyses. The results showed a high interrater reliability in the three courses English (r=0.819 at 0.05α), Mathematics (r=0.878 at 0.05α) and Integrated Science (r=0.867at 0.05α) courses. In addition, the hypothesis testing revealed that the differences between raters in Mathematics and Integrated Science were not significant at 0.05α, p>0.05 indicating that the differences had no impact on total scores. However, in English the differences were found to be significant at 0.05α. It was recommended that the Institute of Education intensifies its coordination sessions with examiners with special emphasis on the English examiners. It was further suggested that team leaders should be more vigilant with vetting of scripts.
Postmodernizmin Siyasal İletişime Yansımaları Üzerine Bir Analiz: 2014 Cumhurbaşkanlığı Seçimleri Örneği
Authors: GÜZ Hanife , SAF Hacı Hasan
Published: September 2022

Modernizm, dünya üzerinde yaşayan herkes için sunduğunu iddia ettiği barış, refah, ilerleme gibi vaatlerini yerine getirememiştir. Eleştirilen, zamanla çözülmeye başlayan modernizmin sanat, iletişim, siyaset, hukuk, ekonomi gibi alanlardaki etkileri azalmaya başlamış; adına postmodernizm denilen yeni bir dönem ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu yeni sosyolojik dönem; bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin üretim sürecine dahil olmasıyla kendi üst yapısını belirlemiştir. “Her an her şey olabilir.” anlayışıyla konumlandırılan ve standartlaşmanın reddedildiği, belirsizliğin, çeşitliliğin vurgulandığı bu dönem, daha çok 1980’li yıllardan sonra teorik olarak tartışılmışsa da günümüzde etkilerini yaşam alanlarında ve pratikte göstermeye başlamıştır. Yeni teknolojiler ve çeşitlenen medyayla hayatın her alanında görülen siyasal iletişim, adeta günlük yaşamın bir parçası haline gelmiş ve postmodern dönemden etkilenmiştir. Çalışmada modernizm, postmodernizm ve bu dönemleri meydana getiren temel özellikler genel bir bakışla ele alındıktan sonra siyasal iletişim, siyasal reklamlar ve postmodernizmin siyasal iletişime yansımaları teorik çerçeveye oturtulmuştur. Örneklem olarak alınan 2014 Cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimlerinde adayların yayınladığı televizyon reklamları göstergebilimsel olarak incelenmiş ve bu reklamlara postmodernizmin yansımaları araştırılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda postmodernizmin ayırt edici özelliklerinden üst gerçeklik, parçalanma, farklılıkların giderilmesi, kronoloji, kurumsalcılık karşıtlığı, zıtlıkların paradoksal birlikteliği ve çoğulculuğun örnekleme yansıdığı görülmüştür. “Postmodernizmin ayırt edici özelliklerinden üst gerçeklik, parçalanma, farklılıkların giderilmesi, kronoloji ve kurumsalcılık karşıtlığının adayların kampanyalarında yer alan televizyon reklamlarına yansıdığı görülmektedir.” hipotezi doğrulanmıştır.

The goal of every organisation is performance achievement through efficient role that is devoid of Career challenges (CB). However, the presence of some career challenges in some organisations has always hindered employees’ role efficiency resulting to little or no performance. This study examined the relationship between career challenges sub variables and role efficiency of health sector employee performance in selected private and teaching hospitals in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a cross sectional research design on the population of 2,886 employees of the selected hospitals. A purposive and stratified sampling technique method was adopted for the selection of 349 sample size. With primary source of data collection via a reliable and validated questionnaire, 78% response rate was achieved. Multiple linear regressions was employed for data analysis.

The study concluded that removal of career challenges and promotion of employees’ role efficiency through adequate monitoring of employees activities have very strong correlation with the performance of employees in the selected teaching and private hospitals. The study recommends that stake holders of these hospitals should initiate policies that would remove career challenges, promote employees’ role efficiency and adequately remunerate employees of these hospitals to enhance their performance.
Factors Affecting Economic Development
Authors:   Greenes College, Oxford- London, Pettinger Tejvan
Published: September 2022

Economic development implies an improvement in economic welfare through higher real incomes and other welfare indices such as improved literacy, better infrastructure, reduced poverty, and better health care. Economic development requires a degree of political stability, investment, and a mixture of public and private initiatives to increase economic potential. This study aims at highlighting factors affecting economic development. The study leverage the World Bank (2017) report on inward investment, which shows that the biggest block to development is prolonged civil unrest/military conflict as this causes investment to dry up and resources to be wasted on unproductive means. It underscores the importance of addressing such concerns to advance the African economy.
Crecimiento e inclusión social en los territorios rurales-urbanos de México
Authors: Soloaga Isidro
Published: September 2022

Partiendo de una clasificación de los espacios geográficos en territorios funcionales, que toman en cuenta la importancia de las áreas urbanas, de la actividad económica y de su relación con el entorno, este estudio avanza en identificar los factores asociados al crecimiento y a la inclusión. La parte descriptiva muestra que casi el 15% de la población mexicana vive en territorios rurales aislados, la mayoría de ellos con acceso limitado a servicios de calidad, y que sólo el 26% de esta población vive a menos de 90 minutos de localidades de 100 mil habitantes o más. El análisis para el año 2010 cuantificó el gradiente por el cual los mejores niveles relativos del capital humano y el acceso a bienes y servicios aumentan a medida que va creciendo el tamaño poblacional de las cabeceras de los territorios funcionales. Al analizar el período 2000-2010 se encontró que una estructura productiva menos intensiva en actividades agropecuarias y agro-industriales, una mayor disponibilidad de bienes y servicios públicos, así como indicadores más altos de aglomeración, se relacionan con dinámicas territoriales de crecimiento económico no-incluyente (con aumento de la desigualdad y/o de los niveles de pobreza). Por el contrario, una inclinación mayor a actividades agropecuarias y agroindustriales y mejores instituciones y gobierno resultaron estar asociadas a dinámicas de crecimiento incluyentes. Estos dos resultados fueron obtenidos tanto en modelos de regresión lineal como en modelos probit.

Un movimiento con historia. El cooperativismo agrícola en el Chaco entre 1926 y 1994
Authors: Moglia Leandro
Published: September 2022

Esta tesis tuvo sus inicios en una investigación acerca de los orígenes del movimiento cooperativo agrícola en la provincia del Chaco. Una vez que se analizaron las dinámicas que dieron inicio al cooperativismo local, se decidió avanzar en un estudio integral de las cooperativas ya que las producciones que abordaron la temática lo hicieron de modo tangencial. De esta manera, se partió de la premisa que el devenir histórico-institucional de estas entidades no podía analizarse desvinculado de un contexto local y nacional. Así, se trazó como gran objetivo de la tesis reconstruir la historia del movimiento cooperativo agrícola del Chaco, desde una visión institucional que partiera desde las propias cooperativas y en función de su evolución.

Published: September 2022

La recuperación económica de España en las décadas posteriores a la posguerra, trató de superarse mediante planes de acción nacional. Las políticas de colonización agraria son la última fase de un complejo proyecto histórico que nos ha legado 300 pueblos de colonización. El rico repertorio de arte contemporáneo en musivaria y azulejería realizada por matrimonios de artistas son objeto de la investigación y resultado de un inventario actualizado. Su localización y comentario son fruto de un método basado en el cruce de fuentes, basado en las visitas in situ a los pueblos, que ha proporcionado un inventario actualizado asociado a los espacios cívicos. Los resultados logrados tras un trabajo comparativo estilístico han desvelado autorías desconocidas, abriendo tanto la discusión en torno al anonimato, como a la recopilación de valores sociales plasmados en una iconografía propia del Instituto Nacional de Colonización. Con todo ello, se pretender valorar el conjunto plástico de un equitativo grupo de siete artistas de ambos sexos, como también la admisión y dispersión de obras nacidas de la innovación y la esperanza del progreso.
Transmutaciones del ser humano a través del cine de animación de Corea del Sur: Seoul Station (Yeon Sang-ho, 2016) y Beauty Water (Cho Kyung-hun)
Authors: Dueñas Mohedas Sonia
Published: September 2022

Con un considerable reconocimiento internacional, el cine de animación surcoreano se distancia cada vez más de sus tradicionales influencias japonesas para marcar una distinción a través de las películas destinadas al público adulto. Pese a que su llegada a España fue limitada hasta 2010, los festivales y las plataformas digitales se han convertido en los perfectos aliados para su acceso. Es, este cine, el encargado de ofrecer una mirada crítica de su contexto, al igual que hiciera en su momento el Nuevo Cine Surcoreano tras surgir a finales de los 90. Este artículo analiza dicha mirada crítica por medio de las películas de animación Seoul Station (Yeon Sang-ho, 2016) y Beauty Water (Cho Kyung-hun, 2020), que llegaron a España a través del Festival de Sitges y la plataforma Filmin, respectivamente, y que ofrecen una visión pesimista de la sociedad actual a través de la representación de la transmutación del cuerpo.

Published: September 2022

This study was carried out to estimate general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) of pre-and post-weaning traits from a partial diallel cross in three rabbit breeds: Local rabbit (L), Flemish Giant (F), and Rex (R). Body weight at 0 (BW0), 30 (BW30), 42 (BW42), and 63 (BW63) days of age, average daily gains from 0 to 30 d of age (ADG0-30), from 30 to 42 d of age (ADG30-42), from 42 to 63 d of age (ADG42-63), and from 30 to 63 d of age (ADG30-63), litter size at birth (LS0) and at weaning (LS42), and mortality at weaning (MR42) were studied in crossing LL, FF, RR, LF, LR, and FR. Local breed had the highest GCA for BW0, BW30, BW42, and average daily gain before weaning (ADG0-30, and ADG30-42) compared to Flemish Giant and Rex, while GCA of Local breed for average daily gain after weaning (ADG42-63), litter size (LS0, and LS42), and mortality (MR42) was higher than for Rex and similar to that of Flemish Giant. Crossing LF and LR showed higher SCA for BW30, BW42, BW63, ADG0-30, ADG42-63 and ADG30-63 than FR. In conclusion, based on GCA and SCA, the Indonesian Local breed has a high genetic potential in the crossing with Flemish Giant and Rex breeds.

Published: September 2022

In the present study, three experiments were designed to identify the most appropriate technique for freezing rabbit semen. Experiment 1 aimed to determine the optimal levels of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) contents in freezing medium and their effects on individual bucks. Semen ejaculates for each buck (n=15 bucks) were mixed and split into three portions for extension with a freezing medium containing varying concentrations of DMSO (0.75, 1.0, and 1.4 M). Diluted semen samples were packaged in 0.25 mL straws and suspended above liquid nitrogen (LN) for 10 min, then dipped in LN. A few days after freezing, post-thaw semen evaluation was assessed, and according to the results, six bucks and an extender containing 0.75 M of DMSO were used for experiments 2 and 3. In experiment 2, the pooled semen from 6 bucks was divided into two portions for packaging in two straw sizes (0.25 and 0.50 mL). Each straw size was divided into five groups and suspended at different heights above LN (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cm) for 10 minutes before being preserved in LN. In experiment 3, the pooled semen was divided into four portions for dilution with freezing medium containing different concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA; 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg/mL). Semen samples were packaged in a 0.50 mL straw and suspended 10 min, 4 cm above LN for freezing. Pre-freezing and post-thawing, semen samples were evaluated for semen quality. Results showed that the extender containing 0.75 M DMSO had higher significant values for post-thaw sperm motility, longevity, acrosome integrity and sperm plasma membrane permeability. Bucks’ individuality had significant effects on post-thaw motility, acrosome and sperm plasma membrane integrity. A significant interaction was recorded between DMSO concentrations and bucks’ individuality on sperm longevity. Semen package sizes had no significant effects on the evaluated parameters. Semen was frozen at 2 and 4 cm above LN had significantly better post-thaw quality. BSA at concentrations 5 and 7.5 mg/mL improved recovery rates of acrosome integrity and sperm membrane permeability. DMSO 0.75 M and freezing 4 cm above LN seem to be more adequate for rabbit semen cryopreservation. The appropriate level of DMSO differs between bucks, as the post-thaw sperm longevity is affected. BSA enhanced acrosome and sperm membrane integrity. Results obtained will need further investigation to be confirmed in the field.
Hidrografía de la cuenca del Río Tecka–Gualjaina, Chubut, Argentina
Authors: Torrero Mariana Paula
Published: September 2022

El río Tecka nace en las sierras occidentales de la provincia de Chubut, Argentina, a 1.350 m s. n. m. Fluye inicialmente en sentido O-E y luego toma rumbo S-N hasta su desembocadura en el río Chubut. En la afluencia del arroyo Pescado, el río Tecka toma el nombre de río Gualjaina dando nombre a la cuenca del río Tecka-Gualjaina de 5.318 km2. A lo largo de su recorrido, el río atraviesa distintas áreas moldeadas a través del tiempo por numerosos procesos geológicos y morfogenéticos. El clima es desértico templado con precipitaciones predominantemente invernales. El objetivo del trabajo es caracterizar y analizar la hidrografía a fin de determinar el comportamiento hidrológico. Los resultados determinaron una cuenca de orden 6. El arroyo Lepá, en la cuenca baja, es el principal tributario y desarrolla la subcuenca más grande. Le sigue en tamaño la subcuenca del río Tecka. La baja densidad de drenaje refleja una cuenca pobremente drenada y la misma se asocia con una textura de drenaje gruesa. Sin embargo, dentro del espacio de la cuenca se pueden distinguir diferentes áreas con texturas de drenaje que varían desde el tipo gruesa en la cuenca media y baja a más fina en la cuenca alta.
TURISMO DE EVENTOS, MEGAEVENTOS Y GOBERNANZA TERRITORIAL
Authors: Vico Roberto Paolo
Published: September 2022

Hoy en día, la ciudad moderna está inserta en un escenario global cada vez más influenciado por el fenómeno de la mundialización, siendo caracterizada por una creciente competencia urbana internacional. De este modo, las ciudades promueven consistentes transformaciones de los propios sistemas físicos, económicos y sociales, es decir de la propia imagen. Se trata de cambios que imponen una planificación y grandes inversiones económicas. Las recientes proliferaciones de tales ocasiones extraordinarias de transformación urbana hicieron más evidentes las cuestiones de la sostenibilidad del desarrollo y la gobernanza territorial. Aunque estas acciones se promuevan con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad urbana y ambiental, así como del desarrollo económico y social, en muchos casos los éxitos quedan por debajo de las expectativas. A menudo, las exigencias de mercado sobrepasan los intereses locales, y los objetivos de la sostenibilidad ambiental y social corren el peligro de quedar en un simple pretexto hipotético: una praxis siempre más frecuente también en el ámbito de los megaeventos, cuya importancia en el desarrollo de las ciudades creció de forma exponencial en las últimas tres décadas.
POÉTICA DE LA TIERRA MAPUCHE: ESPACIOS ORIGINARIOS, DEL DESPOJO Y LA DIÁSPORA. ATISBOS PARA LA COMPRENSIÓN DEL ESPACIO DESDE LA GEOPOÉTICA

Reseñaremos el entendimiento de los diversos espacios y territorios mapuches desde la geopoética o poética de la tierra. Partimos de que el espacio es condición de existencia de lo real, el ser humano lleva a cabo todo tipo de relaciones (materiales e inmateriales) en, con y a través de él. Relaciones materiales de producción, pero también simbólicas, perceptivas, representativas y emotivas.Los pueblos, en el proceso de reproducción de la vida material para la construcción de lugares y territorios, producción social del espacio, además de transformar el espacio a través de actividades tangibles crean una serie de interpretaciones sobre éste, proceso que es producto pero a su vez transforma al hombre, la naturaleza, el espacio y el tiempo. Así, elaboran conocimientos de diversa índole que parten de una valoración subjetiva del espacio. Estos discursos sobre el espacio son aprehendidos en un contexto específico (histórico, geográfico, cultural) y constituyen un conjunto de ideas previas en la producción social del espacio, conciencia del espacio. Los discursos, pensamientos, saberes también son elementos activos en la transformación de los espacios.Buscamos advertir cómo leen, evocan, narran y poetizan el espacio algunos poetas mapuches. Se hará un recuento de la relación poesía-espacio-territorio en la propia experiencia poética mapuche, posteriormente se referirán algunos espacios: originarios, el territorio ancestral, del despojo y la diáspora. Las resemantizaciones de los espacios, originarios y del territorio ancestral en contextos de despojo y exilio, hablan de la construcción de geosímbolos, pletóricos de contenidos para las reivindicaciones políticas de los mapuches.

Authors: Figueroa-Sterquel Rodrigo , Chia Eduardo , Huerta Ureta Pablo
Published: September 2022

Los clusters surgen, en Chile, como el instrumento para mejorar la competitividad de las empresas y dinamizar los territorios. Defendemos que la acción colectiva no está guiada sólo por las leyes del mercado, sino que también por lógicas territoriales y culturales. Analizaremos el cluster de la Palta en Chile. Los primeros resultados muestran que este cluster no funcionó principalmente porque los actores no fueron movilizados en su creación. La proximidad geográfica es necesaria pero no suficiente para crear una dinámica de cluster. Los territorios son hoy en día verdaderas organizaciones por lo que las políticas públicas deben organizarse à partir de una lógica más territorial que sectorial.
Formación espacial docente: entre concepciones y conceptos de espacio geográfico
Authors: Lombo Ayala Johan
Published: September 2022

Con los cambios que vivimos a escala mundial, la educación geográfica tiene retos y desafíos para comprender la relación de los seres humanos con su espacio geográfico, por lo que la formación espacial docente aparece como una oportunidad para construir la reflexión de la didáctica de la geografía, habilidades espaciales desde y para los contextos de la educación colombiana. En este marco, el presente artículo presenta algunas características de la formación espacial docente, por medio de la metodología de análisis de contenido en el marco de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional y el programa de la Licenciatura en Ciencias Sociales, en la búsqueda del saber pedagógico de la historia y geografía, y la formación de maestros con la capacidad para atender las necesidades regionales y nacionales. El artículo concluye con una propuesta a partir de la formación espacial de los docentes, como tema de la educación geográfica, para diseñar programas y planes de estudio espaciales, como un camino de conocimientos y de ejercicios prácticos que consoliden una estrategia formativa que garantice la preparación de docentes competentes para formar a las nuevas generaciones; esto, de acuerdo con las dinámicas actuales y a la vez reflexivas, mediante la aplicación de una pedagogía del espacio que sea crítica de las disposiciones sociales, económicas, culturales y políticas de cada contexto
Gobernanza de la evaluación de impacto ambiental: las posibles formas de lograr la sostenibilidad territorial
Authors: Sousa-Camilo Amanda dos Santos , Mendes Flávio Henrique , Santos de Almeida Paulo , Romero Aravena Hugo
Published: September 2022

La gobernanza ambiental ha ocupado un lugar central en los debates sobre desarrollo sostenible. Esto se debe principalmente a la naturaleza multiescalar de los problemas ambientales, los cuales requieren la participación de múltiples actores en la gestión y la toma de decisiones sobre el uso de los recursos naturales. Sin embargo, si bien hay consenso sobre la importancia de incluir y aumentar el número de opiniones y participaciones en las discusiones, la gobernanza no siempre está estructurada de manera plural. En la Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) no es diferente; es cierto que la participación social es un elemento clave en la toma de decisiones, sin embargo, todavía no hay certeza sobre las mejores maneras de lograr que esta participación sea más efectiva. En este sentido, la investigación analizó el proceso de EIA, ejecutado en el Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), para identificar el mecanismo más efectivo de participación social en la toma de decisiones sobre la implementación de proyectos con un potencial de impacto ambiental significativo. Luego de analizar los procesos de EIA efectuados entre los años 2014 y 2017, se identificó la existencia de 13 mecanismos participativos, formales e informales; los niveles de influencia de cada uno en la toma de decisiones, y también se caracterizaron sus potencialidades y debilidades. La relevancia de esta investigación está centrada en su naturaleza empírica y potencial de replicabilidad en territorios similares al Estado de São Paulo (Brasil). Los resultados más relevantes evidenciaron que la existencia de múltiples espacios participativos en el proceso de EIA no es suficiente para dar un carácter de descentralización a la gobernanza. La importancia de difundir estos espacios para la población afectada al inicio del proceso, es determinante para ampliar el acceso al derecho de influir en la toma de decisiones y lograr el desarrollo sostenible de su territorio.
Un análisis territorial de desarrollo sostenible, Comuna de Renca, Santiago de Chile
Authors: Olivares Rubilar Andrés Elías , Zanella Maria Elisa
Published: September 2022

El desarrollo sostenible es un desafío relevante, una materia diversa y polémica, que instala la discusión sobre aspectos sensibles de la convivencia social, como la desigualdad económica, condiciones de habitabilidad y protección ambiental, entre otros. Alcanzar los objetivos propuestos en el marco de este paradigma, implica observar y monitorear los impactos territoriales de las acciones emprendidas, cuestión que requiere la generación de indicadores que permitan monitorear los procesos y guiar la toma de decisiones. Así, la investigación que da origen a este artículo, tiene por objetivo aplicar una metodología que facilite el análisis de las características económicas, sociales y ambientales, entendidas como factores que componen y expresan el grado de desarrollo de cada dimensión. Para el análisis de los datos, se aplicó un proceso metodológico que integra la Metodología de Evaluación Multicriterio y el Sistema de Información Geográfica, lo que permitió analizar variables tales como: grupo socioeconómico, edad de los habitantes, años de estudio, densidad de población, presencia de áreas verdes y materialidad de la vivienda, entre otros. El estudio de caso consideró el territorio comprendido por la Comuna de Renca, ubicada en la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile. Los resultados son expresados a nivel de manzanas censales, con valores de referencia que fluctúan entre 1 y 9, expresados en dimensiones y sub dimensiones.

The development of the digital economy causes cardinal socio-economic shifts, including those in the field of labor relations. Therefore, the study of basic processes of functioning and development of the labor market is an urgent task. Research methods: generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, structural-logical analysis, monographic method, statistical modeling methods, machine learning methods, neural network modeling, fuzzy logic. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodological approach to the study of basic processes of functioning and development of the labor market under the conditions of digitalization. The hypothesis of the study – the digitalization of the economy activates structural shifts in the labor market, which can cause imbalances that can be eliminated through the development of human potential. In the course of the study, it was found that the existing methods and tools in this area are not sufficient for diagnosing the labor market under the conditions of digitalization. The article proposes the author’s methodology of analysis, based on two complex parameters: flexibility and social protection. Also, using the tools of fuzzy logic, an approach to assessing the level of social security and protection of the population was developed. The use of the approaches proposed in the article will make it possible to determine the specifics of the development of labor resources and the ongoing transformations in the structure of employment under the influence of modern technology and will also make it possible to substantiate measures of state regulation and support adequate to the challenges of our time.

In the course of this study, the problem of corruption, methods of reforming state enterprises in developing countries, their consequences and directions of development were studied. And also, a critical view is given and recommendations are proposed for the reform of state-owned enterprises in the domestic economy. Based on the results of the analysis and analysis of state programs, special problems were identified in state-owned enterprises in the field of subsoil use, extractive industries and the activities of enterprises with a state share. The results of the study indicate the need to strengthen supervision over the activities of state-owned enterprises, since their profitability or unprofitability directly affects the degree of associated fiscal risks. State- owned enterprises often perform quasi-fiscal functions, attracting funds from both the state budget and external sources to finance industry projects. In the field of reforming state-owned enterprises of Uzbekistan, key conclusions have been made regarding the communication to the public, the goals, objectives and the need for ongoing transformations. There is no doubt that the reform of state-owned enterprises requires significant changes in legislation in the field of antimonopoly regulation and protection of competition, the banking and financial system, improving the protection of private property and consumer rights, social protection of the most vulnerable segments of the population and the unemployed.
Green Economy and a New Approach to Its Measurement
Authors: Humbatova S. R.
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the study is to propose a model for a comparative assessment of the degree of «greenness» of the economy of each country, to identify weak determinants to increase the degree of «greenness» of the countries included in this model, as well as to scientifically substantiate possible ways of developing weak determinants. However, approaches to the «green» economy model and the method of its measurement differ. It is more appropriate to include indicators related to the sectors of the economy that generate carbon emissions in this model. The article defines 5 subindexes for quantifying the «green» economy model: growth parameters and socio-economic essence, environmental and resource efficiency, natural resources group, environmental quality measurement group, economic opportunities, and policy group. The results of the study show that over the past 30 years, the sub-index «Ecological quality of life», which is part of the Green Economy Index in Azerbaijan, has significantly decreased. However, as in other oil-rich countries, the main factor preventing the transition to a green economic model in Azerbaijan is related to oil production. As in other countries rich in oil and gas, Azerbaijan’s economy is based on oil and gas rents. The main conclusion obtained during the study is related to the transition of the country’s economy to a «green model», and it is also recommended to replace economic growth with green growth and invest in the development of industries that reduce the number of pollutants released into the environment.

The use of classical methods of scientific cognition and literature review allowed us to study the theoretical foundations and reveal the economic essence of the categories of «business activity» regarding its applicability to the economy of the household. Based on the macroeconomic analysis, the main indicators and trends of the development of the economy of Kazakhstan were studied, the share of the agricultural economy in the country’s GDP was determined. It is revealed that the agricultural economy in the overall structure of the national economy can become a priority industry in the long term, which is justified by the effectiveness of the activities of agribusiness entities in conditions of developed competition. It is confirmed that 58% of the rural population are self-employed, and 46% of the population cannot provide for their basic needs, since the only source of income is transfer payments (social benefits) from the state budget. It is determined that the inflation rate has a significant impact on the real income of households. The model of economic stimulation of the business activity of personal subsidiary farms is presented, taking into account their peculiarities of formation and development as a form of agribusiness organization, which clearly affects the agricultural economy of Kazakhstan.
