Ukrainian amateur theatre at the internment camp of the UNR army in Strzałkowo, Poland, as viewed by theatrical critics in August 1921 — July 1922 (according to the materials of the journal Promin / Sunbeam)
Authors: Sribniak Ihor
Published: July 2020

The aim of the study is the understanding of the theatre role for formation of spiritual and ideological ideals of interned soldiers. This involves analysis of the amateur circle repertoire and critical reception of plays as well as reconstruction of value motivation of Ukrainian military groups. The historical method, source analysis and synthesis have been used for this purpose. The results of the study showed that the theatrical performances were prepared by several artistic and actor groups (repertory companies), and the informal competition took place between them. Such situation formed the tradition of critical appraisal of the theatrical plays and their publication on the pages of the camp “live” newspaper “Promin”. It is worth mentioning that critics did not miss the opportunity to show the negative sides or, contrarily, praise the actors’ training and stagecraft during the performances. Theatrical stage performances of camp drama and art groups had a significant importance in boosting morale of the interned soldiers as well as satisfying their nostalgic feelings for their homes and native land. The majority of theatrical plays were nationally aspired by the context and spirit (all the dramas were prepared for the stage production in Ukrainian), which thus promoted the spiritual consolidation of the interned warriors. Importantly, camp residents were seeking and finding their own creative ways for the representation of their art pursuits, contributing to the treasury of the Ukrainian and global culture. The significance of the Ukrainian theatre in Strzałkowo is based on the notion that thanks to the mastery performance of amateur actors as well as the Ukrainian songs as supporting music for the theatrical plays, Polish society gradually became to acknowledge positively the Ukrainian National Republic and Ukrainians as the integral part of the European political, national and cultural environment. The article novelty is connected with introducing the information about amateur theatre circles of internal soldiers and critical reception of their activities. The practical significance of the research is that its results prove the longevity of the Ukrainian dramatic tradition.

Published: July 2020

The present paper consists of using the Chapman-Richard generalized growth model to functionally relate the number of people infected by COVID-19 with the number of days. The objective of this work is to estimate the instant that the number of infected people stops growing using the dataset of the accumulated amount of infected. For this propose, one conducted a comparative study of the performances of three models of Richard in eight Brazilian States. In the methodological context, the Gauss Newton procedure was used to estimate the parameters. In addition, selection criteria of the models were used to select the one that best fits the dataset. The methodology used allowed consistent estimates of the number of people infected by COVID-19 as a function of time and, consequently, it was possible to conclude that the projections provided by the growth curves point to a scenario of general contamination acceleration. Besides, the models predict that the epidemic is close to reaching its peak in Amazonas, Ceará, Maranhão, Pernambuco, and São Paulo States.

Published: July 2020

The objective of this work is to demonstrate that some weaknesses of the onsite packaged WWTP associated with high operational costs and energy inefficiency could be overcome by improved management. The research methodology consists of series of batch studies with sludge from municipal or onsite WWTP, which simulate different working regimes of the onsite WWTPs – daily operation, toilet flushing and dishwasher machine. A simple classical tool, Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR) is used to prove the hypothesis that regardless the specificity of the onsite WWTPs, namely the irregularity of the flow and load, three parameters follow similar increasing and decreasing trends – inflow rate, inflow pollution load and oxygen demand in the reactor. The literature review has not shown research publication about applicability of (OUR) for management of onsite WWTPs, but has shown experience and knowledge with municipal WWTPs, which were utilized in our study. The results prove that when there is no wastewater generation in the household, the (OUR) in the reactor is very low, 0.0007 to 0.0015 mg/l.s, thus do not require high oxygen supply. However, when wastewater flushes into the onsite WWTP, the oxygen demand increases rapidly and (OUR) reaches the range of 0.0040 to 0.0063 mg/l.s depending on the type and the quantity of the incoming substrate (pollution load). These results, if verified in filed experiments will enable optimization of the energy use during onsite WWTP operation.  The suggestion is that the oxygen supply in the reactor should be adjusted according to the demand, respectively proportional to the inflow rate. In addition to the benefit of saving energy, the comprehensive sensors for dissolved oxygen monitoring, which require qualified maintenance could be avoided and replaced by simple sensors for level, which are anyway part of the equipment of most of the onsite packaged WWTP.

Published: July 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la incorporación de harina de amaranto a bocaditos de carne con bajo contenido de grasa, mediante análisis sensorial y valor nutricional. Para ello se elaboraron un control y tres formulaciones, en las que se varió la forma en la que fue incorporada la harina de amaranto. Las unidades de muestra se moldearon en forma de bocaditos de 50±0.50 g y se cocinaron en un horno eléctrico hasta alcanzar una temperatura interna de 72ºC en el centro térmico de las muestras para garantizar la calidad microbiológica. La evaluación sensorial de las muestras se realizó inmediatamente después del proceso de cocción, empleando una escala hedónica de 5 puntos y los atributos evaluados fueron: olor, color, sabor, terneza, jugosidad, aceptación general e intención de compra. Además, se analizaron el rendimiento a la cocción y la composición proximal de los productos elaborados y ésta se comparó con la información nutricional de un producto comercial. Las distintas formulaciones elaboradas tuvieron buena aceptación por parte de los evaluadores, quienes enunciaron además la intención de compra de las mismas lo que resulta de la apreciación general de cada muestra. La forma en la que se incorporaron los ingredientes afectó el rendimiento y la composición proximal de las formulaciones ensayadas, lo que puede atribuirse a una mayor o menor retención de fluidos durante la cocción, por lo que, debería incrementar el rendimiento de las mismas. Los bocaditos elaborados presentaron, además, menores contenidos de grasa y de sodio en comparación con una muestra comercial, lo que los hace más saludables.

Authors: Wisyanto Wisyanto , Sri Naryanto Heru
Published: July 2020

Earthquake hazard must be considered by many regions in Indonesia. This is including Nganjuk Regency, the area with intensifies development and where the longest dam in Indonesia is being built. Earthquake hazard studies are conducted using two methods, namely semi-deterministic and probabilistic methods. The results of analyses using the first method show that Nganjuk Regency can be divided into 3 classes of hazards, low level in the southwest region, middle level in the north and high level in the middle of the region. Analyses using the second method reveal that Nganjuk Regency can be classified into two categories, the southwest region which has the potential to experience very strong shocks with an intensity of upper VII MMI to lower VIII MMI and the northern and central region which has the potential of destructive shocks with an intensity of middle VIII MMI. The difference in the results from the two methods can be eliminated by classifying the detail of the existing soil/rock types.
Conceptualization of Smart Government: A scientometric approach
Authors: Bradul Natalya , Lebezova Ella
Published: July 2020

The introduction of the state paradigm of Smart Government allows governments to transform states or individual regions into intelligent ecosystems that use the latest technologies to improve the quality of municipal and state services, create business environments for sustainable economic development, reduce costs and stimulate economical consumption of natural resources. The lack of a consistent conceptual framework as a theoretical platform for the phenomenon of Smart Government inhibits further research and the solving of practical problems in this field. The paper aims to tackle the problem of the ambiguous definition of Smart Government. The methodological basis embraces the theory of network society and the concept of Society of Knowledge. The research method is a scientometric analysis of publications on the formation of Smart Government as a supreme form of e-Government presented in scientific and analytical publications over the past twenty years. The research analyses the key interpretations of Smart Government, identifies its fundamental characteristics and formulates the authors’ integrated definition of the phenomenon. The findings show that the issue under discussion gained in popularity during the period of 2014–2019. The study identifies authors and consulting companies that develop models for the transition to smart management both at regional and state levels. It also deals with the sectoral and thematic structure of the publication flow on the issue and reveals the problem of ambiguity of the Smart Government definition. Using semantic analysis, the authors propose their own definition of the concept of Smart Government, which is a developed e-Government based on open management that integrates physical, digital, public and private environments for passive and active interaction and cooperation with citizens so as to support sustainable and flexible development of services and opportunities provided. Five structural elements of the Smart Government are identified by the method of structural-logical analysis: smart indicators, smart goals, smart solutions, technology platform, and technologies. The current research can serve as a theoretical basis for creating smart government transition methods.
Consumer behavior and customer relationship management in mental health services
Authors: Bucatariu Lena , George Babu
Published: July 2020

Mental health services are perceived differently in different socio-cultural settings. The connotations accorded to mental health, especially in terms of need awareness and evaluation of alternatives, vary from culture to culture. Understanding these differences is critical to attract and retain patients suffering from mental conditions. Generic literature on consumer behavior does not provide direct answers to many of the problems in this regard, primarily because such literature does not take into account the deviant mental states of these patients. In this paper, we review findings from mental health specific studies conducted in both Western and Asian countries, evaluate the importance of decision-making factors for both public and private service providers, and offer directions for future research. Interdisciplinary literature on customer relationship management, consumer behavior, mental health, and healthcare marketing, guided by the principles of systematic literature review constituted the methodology of this study. The research methods are analysis, synthesis, classification and grouping. The empirical base included about 250 peer-reviewed articles on the topic under consideration. We find that doctor-led service provision is still the most prevalent form of relationship building in the Eastern societies, especially in the less developed countries of South East Asia. Consumer-initiated mental health treatment schemes are more common in more developed Western economies. We also observe that, among the innovative set of providers, there is a trend of increased use of telehealth. Among other things, this includes more proactive and digitally-savvy identification, acquisition, and retention of patients. The results of the study can be used as the basis for marketing strategies of drug manufacturers and mobile application designers in the field of online medical services.
Digital transformation of the financial industry: The substance and trends
Authors: Kotliarov Ivan
Published: July 2020

Digital transformation (digitization) of the financial industry is the reason behind the deep change in the models of interaction between actors in the financial market. However, a generally accepted interpretation of digitalization has not yet been proposed. The paper discusses the distinctive features of the financial industry digitalization and uses them as a basis for offering a unified description of the nature of this transformation. The methodological framework is the notion of three types of innovation – technology, organization, and product. The research methods used in the article are analysis and synthesis. The paper demonstrates how the types of innovation determine the nature of the digital transformation of the financial industry and how they are manifested in various digital financial products. Digital transformation of finance includes two aspects: (a) Fintech revolution, i.e. technological companies entering the financial market, and (b) adoption of innovative digital technologies by traditional financial companies. We propose the 4U model to describe the marketing aspect of the financial industry digital transformation and introduce the concept of flexible finance as a way to provide financial services that suggest lower liability of financial institutions. The research results show that, firstly, digital transformation of the financial industry is not limited to the technological aspect but also includes organizational and product-related elements. Secondly, the trends in the financial industry digitalization are similar to those in the digital transformation of the global economy.

Published: July 2020

Workplace procrastination adversely affects any company’s activity. The purpose of the research is to examine the hierarchical career plateau (HCP) perceived by the employees and the workplace procrastination (WP) variables, and to determine the role of the HCP, if any, in WP of employees. The methodological framework of the research includes career development theory and rational emotive behavior theory. Utilizing the screening model and survey technique, the data were obtained from 367 employees in Zonguldak location of Turkey. To evaluate the data, the authors use the methods of statistical and econometric analysis (confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, Independent Sample T test and One-Way ANOVA Test), as well as the face-to-face survey method. According to the research findings, there is a positive correlation between the HCP and WP, and 1-unit increase in the HCP results in an increase of 0.751 units in the WP behavior. In terms of socio-demographic factors of workers, the study shows that WP does not differ significantly according to gender, age, education level, income level, job sector and work experience. The research results indicate that the HCP is among the primary factors influencing the timely performance of official duties. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is to minimize employees’ unwanted work behavior and contribute to the HCP and WP literature.
Industrial complex: Evolution of a research programme
Authors: Orekhova Svetlana , Azarov Dmitriy
Published: July 2020

The economic downturn resulting from a sharp decrease in demand under the pan demic implies the transformation of the existing ideas about the principles of running enter prises and their associations – industrial complexes. Currently, there is no commonly-used definition of this concept available in laws and regulations or science. The use of such vague terminology allows multiple interpretations which bias the findings and decrease their applica bility for the industrial policies aimed at achieving economic growth in the most effective way. The paper focuses on establishing the up-to-date research programme for the term “industrial complex” in economics. The methodological basis rests on the set of concepts including neo classical and neoinstitutional theories, the systems approach, and postulates of management theories. The research employs fundamental methods of formalisation and systematisation, and 20 Journal of New Economy 2020 • Vol. 21 • No. 2 Theoretical Basis of Economic Development and Growth relies on bibliometric and content analyses. Based on the developed research programme, the authors identify the key features of the industrial complex including systemic, multi-sectoral institutional nature of such association represented as a network focusing on meeting a unified set of needs and requiring management of a multiplicity of subjects. The study shows that since the location of industrial complexes is no longer limited it cannot be regarded as a meso-level subsystem. The authors propose their interpretation of the industrial complex as a multi-sec toral institutional association of industrial enterprises and infrastructure facilities represented as a network focusing on meeting a unified set of needs. The obtained results can be applied to monitor the performance and efficiency of industrial complexes, as well as to formulate specific items of a policy for economic growth.
Innovation linkages in societies with a high power distance
Authors: Bashmakov Danil
Published: July 2020

Innovation linkages are one of the important conditions for innovative development of the country. A confirmation of this is the calculation methodology of the Global Innovation Index, which takes them into account. The article explores the problem of innovation linkages formation in societies with a high power distance, which are characterised in tolerance for so cial inequality. The methodological basis of the study embraces the concept of stakeholders and the theory of inter-organizational networks in combination with the approach of cross-cultural research of power relations. To describe the structure and influence of power distribution on in novator’s behaviour the researcher uses the method of classification of innovation linkages’ par ticipants into actors and actants. To identify societies with a high power distance and which are relatively successful in innovative development the author draws on the comparative analysis of countries. Using the cases of some of them (China, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates) the author shows the mechanisms of formation and development of innovation linkages: 1) exclu sive (or external) development through the use of foreign innovation infrastructure; 2) informal linkages based on the values of humanism and paternalism; and 3) co-optation of institutional centers of responsibility for change. The study may be of interest both to enterprises for develop ing strategies to promote their innovative solutions, and to government agencies that solve the problem of weak innovation linkages.

Authors: Andreeva Elena , Karkh Dmitriy , Ratner Artem
Published: July 2020

The problem of export diversification remains pressing for Russia, which needs to increase the share of the non-resources exports, and in particular, the share of higher valueadded products. The paper aims to examine the spatial differentiation of the Russian exports by various entities (federal districts, regions, top exporting companies), including in the sectoral context, and for the latter considers the most important machines and equipment sector. The methodological basis of the research rests on regional and spatial economics and theories of foreign economic activity. The paper applies economic-statistical methods, including the corre lation analysis. The authors examine Russia and its regions’ exports for 2013–2018 based on the data of Russia’s Federal State Statistic Service and Federal Customs Service and reveal “consist ency” between production and export of mechanical engineering products in the four groups of regions. The analysis demonstrates high importance of the resources export for the national economy and high spatial differentiation of exports, including of the non-resources ones. Dur ing 2013–2018, the mechanical engineering production and export grew in 27 regions, how ever, on average, high-tech production is more focused on the domestic market. The analysis confirms the significance of export as a channel of production preservation and can serve as a contribution to justify the necessity to develop the new industrial export specialisation. The results of the research can be of use to the institutions of economic development (government authorities) to outline the perspectives of the regional development of export.

Decisions of specialization classes in high school students can be made based on the recommendations of the psychology test results. At SMAN 1 Selong in collaboration with a certified institution namely Biro Instrumentasi Bimbingan dan Konseling Empatik Mataram to execute the tests. In this case, the psychological test system is still manual, the manual system of psychological testing activities requires a lot of cost and time. The results of these psychological tests are analyzed manually by institutional experts to obtain results from specialization classes and require a long time. Based on these problems, an online psychology test application was designed and built to streamline time costs. Psychological test results are analyzed automatically using the weighted product method to get the results of recommendations accurately and quickly. The criteria used by the weighted product method to obtain student specialization class recommendations are 13 criteria consisting of sub-tests on psychological tests. The suitability between the results of expert recommendations and weighted product recommendations is 70%. System testing uses the method of BlackBox testing and Mean Opinion Score (MOS). The results of testing the BlackBox method on functions that exist on the system have valid conclusions or the system can run as expected. The results of testing using MOS with 30 respondents on average 4.4 categorized the system running well.

Published: July 2020

The main objective of the implementation of asymmetric decentralization is to realize the distribution of power and authority so that each region has the opportunity to develop the existing potential and carry out governance independently, and also to realize social justice and fair welfare for all levels of society. However, in practice, there is an irony. Papua, in particular, received special autonomy but it has not been able to increase its development. This study aims to analyze Papua's asymmetric decentralization in its development and political aspects. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study show that the implementation of asymmetric decentralization in Papua has not yet achieved its objectives, especially in increasing equitable development in Papua.

Ez nem semmi! A történetalapú foglalkozások alkalmazása a szociális munkában
Authors: Hüse Lajos
Published: July 2020

A tanulmány központi témája a közösségivé tett olvasásélmény, melyet a szerző történetalapú foglalkozásnak nevez, és a csoportos/közösségi szociális munka eszközének ajánl. Ebben a minőségében jól elkülöníthető a különféle művészet- és biblioterápiás irányzatoktól, mert csak a segédeszköz – a történet, az olvasás, a beszélgetés – azonos, a feldolgozás keretezése, szabályozása és mélysége eltérő, célja más, emiatt a folyamat átélése is másfajta élményt nyújt a résztvevőknek, egyben másfajta „beleereszkedést” kíván meg tőlük. Emellett nem zárja ki azt, hogy a történetalapú foglalkozás élménye motiválhat a még alaposabb önmegismerésre, átjárókat nyithat egy terápiás folyamatban való részvételre.

A történetalapú foglalkozás módszerének bemutatása Janne Teller egyik művén keresztül történik. A „Semmi” című kisregény 2000-ben jelent meg Dániában. Az olvasók és szakemberek figyelmét rögtön felkeltette, hogy Teller műve előbb betiltott botránykönyv lett, aztán a dán Kulturális Minisztérium Gyermekkönyv-díjának nyertese, majd kötelező olvasmány. A könyv szövege könnyen érthető, ám a felvetett problémák nagyon mélyre visznek, ezért különböző szociokulturális hátterű csoportokban való feldolgozásra alkalmas, megfelelő módosítások mellett.

Authors: Kharabara Violetta , Greshko Roman
Published: July 2020

Purpose. A significant role in ensuring the socio-economic development of the state, increasing the economic activity and purchasing power of the population is played by the credit mechanism of meeting the consumer needs of the population. However, the effects of crisis phenomena in the state economy have created high credit risks, which negatively affected the dynamics of consumer lending in Ukraine. Method. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the financing of the real sector of the economy and increase its capital due to the effective functioning of the credit mechanism of meeting the consumer needs of the population. Research results. The theoretical approaches of scientists to the essence, elements and components of the credit mechanism of meeting the consumer needs of the population, external and internal factors influencing its efficiency, such as the ability of the borrower to return the credit, availability of credit, interest rate, as well as maturity and repayment terms are investigated in the paper. Also, the study analyzed legislative and regulatory acts on the development of credit relations and the banking system in Ukraine. The problems of organization of credit activity of banks, formation of effective credit policy, choice of effective methods, types of lending are considered. Particular attention is paid to the most common type of crediting of consumer needs with credit cards in the modern way. Value/originality. As a result, the paper proposes to consider the essence of the credit mechanism of meeting the consumer needs of the population as a set of forms and tools for influencing the system of credit relations between the subjects of lending to the consumer needs in order to provide the necessary volumes of consumer credit. In turn, as a result of using the method of comparative analysis, the list of consumer lending facilities is systematized in the work, the classification of credits for consumer needs of the population is improved, and the author’s vision of the main components of the credit mechanism of meeting the consumer needs of the population is characterized.

In order to predict the hydrodynamic performance of semi-submersible offshore platform accurately, based on CFD theory, continuous equation and N-S equation as the control equation, RNG type k-ε model as turbulence model, using the finite difference method to discretize the control equation，using the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equation (SIMPLE) algorithm to solve the control equation，using the VOF method to capture the free surface. The numerical wave tank of irregular wave is established, and the wave force and motion response of the semi-submersible platform under irregular wave are studied. Based on the Jonswap spectrum density function, for a certain area of two irregular waves (South China sea, a-ten-year return period, a-hundred-year return period) sea condition, five wave direction Angle (0 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °), a total of 10 kinds of conditions of the motion response of semi-submersible platform are simulated, through analysis and comparison of simulation results, the influence law of wave angle, wave period and wave height on platform motion is obtained. Compared with the experimental values, the results of heave and pitch are close to the experimental data under the sea condition of 2, 0 degree wave angles. The research results in this paper can provide reference for the design and motion response prediction of practical semi-submersible offshore platforms.
