Authors: SIBURIAN GLORIA , Pardede Jek Amidos
Published: February 2023

Social isolation is a condition where individuals experience a decline or are completely unable to interact with other people around them, patients feel rejected, not accepted, and lonely. The purpose of this writing is to provide mental nursing care to Mrs.S at Prof. Mental Hospital. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem. Descriptive writing method, namely a case study by conducting nursing care to patients with social isolation problems with the implementation strategy (SP) of care carried out for 5 days on Ny.S. Data collection techniques were carried out using interview techniques, observation, and physical examination. The nursing problem found in Ny.S is social isolation. With management for 5 days, Mrs. S, can control social isolation by explaining the advantages and disadvantages of having friends, training clients to get to know two or more people, training clients to have conversations while carrying out daily activities, and practicing social speaking: such as asking for something, shopping and so on. Suggestions in managing clients with social isolation problems are expected that with this study medical staff can foster a relationship of trust with clients so that good communication can emerge and clients can express their problems in order to achieve the nursing process, the role of the family to visit clients and take care of clients who are now living themselves and provide sufficient support and attention to the client in order to speed up the client's healing process.
Fixed Categories vs. Fluid Identities: How Are Queer Voices Silenced in the Theory and Practice of Asylum Law?
Authors: Ballin Samuel , Manganini Irene
Published: February 2023

Taking a queer theoretical approach, our article explores the challenges inherent in defining and/or categorising the sexual and gender identities of certain forced migrants, which can result in queer voices being less heard. We focus on the asylum system as a practical example, examining the tensions between its demands for strict categorisation and the fluidity at the core of certain queer identities. We interrogate the circumstances in which categories may be genuinely necessary or beneficial in adjudicating forced migrants' protection claims. Other practical issues we touch upon include data collection in forced migration settings, and the limited fixed categories and legal statuses available to forced migrants to assert and/or declare.
Invisible Outsiders: The Academic Achievement of Foreign-Born Children of Return Migrants
Authors: Hoffmann Nathan Isaac
Published: February 2023

Children of return migrants now constitute a large population globally, and yet we know little about their academic outcomes. This paper uses PISA test score data for 2012, 2015, and 2018 to characterize the academic achievement of foreign-born children of 3,480 return migrants in 72 birth countries and 43 countries of residence. It compares them to non-immigrants in their parents’ origin country as well as counterparts in children’s birth countries. Using meta-analytic and fixed effects models, it also examines how policies and features of countries are associated with outcomes. Results show that, on average, these children obtain lower PISA scores than local children in their parents’ countries of birth as well as children of similar migrants in their countries of birth. However, results vary greatly by country. Children of return migrant groups with greater resources appear better able to excel academically.
THE POWER OF RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY AND EMPATHY – Leveraging Non-Cognitive Theoretical Constructs to Trigger Environmentally Sustainable Tourist Behaviour?
Authors: Zhu Oscar Yuheng , Li Hongwei , Grün Bettina , Dolnicar Sara
Published: February 2023

Behavioural change research for environmental sustainability is currently guided almost exclusively by a cognitive paradigm, which assumes that cognitive constructs drive behaviour and must be influenced to change it. This study challenges this dominant paradigm and tests two non-cognitive theoretical constructs – respect for authority and empathy – in the context of reducing buffet plate waste. Respect for authority (in contrast to empathy) passes the manipulation check and significantly reduces plate waste in a quasi-experimental field study in a Chinese hotel, providing proof of concept for a new, urgently needed, re-orientation in behavioural change intervention design. The intervention tested in this study can immediately be deployed by tourism and hospitality businesses who want to make their buffets more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
Assessing the Value of Subscription Journal Packages and Open Access Journal Articles in a Community College Context
Authors: Dolan Tim , Claflin Duncan
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Academic libraries are facing two trends: the rising cost of journal subscriptions—the ongoing ‘serials crisis’—and the increasing availability of scholarly journal articles through free, open access channels. Methods: This study analyzed the bibliographies from 116 research projects created by students across disciplines at a small community college, and classified citations to journal articles based on the simplest way students could have accessed them. Results: more than 60% of the scholarly journal articles that students used are available to them for free, while an additional 18% are available through state-sponsored database subscriptions available to any Massachusetts resident. Only 17% of the journal articles used were available to students solely through the library’s database packages, and more than half of those articles were used by students in the ADN nursing program. Discussion: These findings call into question the value of expensive subscription databases to community college libraries and suggest a pattern of diminishing return on investment and value. The trend towards cancellation of ‘big deal’ journal packages at large institutions addresses similar concerns, though the dynamics are somewhat different at small institutions. Conclusion: The paper concludes by suggesting some steps that small academic libraries might take to adapt to this changing publishing environment, in the areas of collection development and information literacy instruction, in order to better serve students.

The growing trend of cropping intensification, mechanisation, the use of poor-quality rice seeds, and the shift in rice cultivation methods from transplanting to direct sowing to meet food security and export demand are causes of the emergence and spread of weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) in the Mekong delta in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to study the agronomic, morphological, and physiological characteristics of collected weedy rice lines to help identify, analyse, and distinguish weedy rice in the rice field. Out of a total of 28 weedy rice lines planted, selected, and observed from 248 weedy rice samples collected in the main rice production areas in the Mekong delta, there are 12 weedy rice lines with one or more morphological and biological characteristics that can distinguish among them and with cultivated rice varieties, such as growing duration, plant height, leaf colour and shape, stem colour and shape, awn or without awn, husk colour, seed length, grain colour. These key characteristics can be used to distinguish and identify weedy rice lines from rice varieties grown at different growth stages in the field. However, some weedy rice lines are sharing major morphological features with the cultivated rice variety such as short or similar growing duration, shorter or similar height, similar husk colour, seed shape. Those weedy rice lines are not easy to identify and eliminate on the rice field, leading to the possibility of becoming widespread and difficult to control in rice production in the Mekong delta.
STUDY OF THE WORKING SURFACES OF THE CONTACTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC STARTERS AND RELAYS USING AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
Authors: Korobsky V. , Akulinin Ya.
Published: February 2023

It is proposed to replace the serial contact parts based on silver with experimental contact parts based on copper. Climatic tests of the contact parts were carried out to determine the performance and production operation of the experimental contacts.

Switching tests of starters and relays were carried out to determine durability. The results of studies of wear resistance and erosion of the contact surface of serial contact parts of PML-1100O4 electromagnetic starters based on silver - СрН-10, СрМ-0.2+М1 and metal-ceramic contact parts based on copper with metal impurities and defined thermodynamically stable compounds.

Negative wear is established in stationary and moving contact parts, but moving contact parts wear more intensively, which is typical for alternating current devices.

The level of erosive wear increases with a gradual increase in the number of switching cycles and the magnitude of the switching current and reaches its maximum value at the highest current (10 A) with which the starters and relays were tested (4.0 A, 6.3 A, 10 A).

The study of the working surfaces of the contacts before, during and after the test was carried out using a scanning electron microscope "Cambridge Stereoscan" S4-10. The metallographic analysis of the contact surfaces contributed to the discovery of patterns of destruction of erosion-rupturing bridging contacts based on Ag and Cu. Contact parts made of experimental contact materials have undergone several years of production tests in real agricultural conditions.
Factors of pricing of agricultural products
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Tetiana KMYTIUK
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Price is the main factor that has a direct impact on the main results of the enter­prises, especially agricultural. The pricing policy is able to maintain the competitiveness of the enter­prise, to ensure its solvency and stability. Problem. Pricing is carried out in a complex interaction of a set of internal and external Factors. The corresponding complexity of the phenomenon leads to the need to include many Factors in the model, which can negatively affect the result. The numerous number of Factors necessitate the use of methods that allow the identification of the most statistically significant Factors and assess their relationship with the resulting feature. The aim of the article is to identify the main Factors and their influence on the formation and change of the price of agricultural products using Factor analysis. Methods. Different methods such as mathe­matical and statistical (factor analysis, principal component), economic and statistical (multiple regression method based on factor scores) and generalization were applied in the article. Results. The application of Factor analysis and method of principal components determine the most significant Factors influencing the formation of agricultural products prices. The author used different dimensionality reduction methods and obtained three main components: supply, demand, and the solvency of the po­pulation. This helped to reveal the relationship between variables and price without multicol­linearity problem. Conclusions. The author used Factor ana­lysis and the principal component method; it helped to take into account the peculiarities of the relationships between the indicators that characterize potato pricing, to eliminate multi­collinearity between independent indicators, to get fewer common Factors than the original number of variables, to obtain a quantitative assessment of the latent variable. The use of orthogonal rotation helped to distribute the load on all three Factors more evenly, which simp­lified their further interpretation and to save 95 % of the total primary information after rota­tion and to reduce the dimensionality of the fea­ture space, which is a high indicator for prac­tical tasks.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. Rapid digitalization, along with its positive impact, provokes considerable uncer­tainty, in particular at the highest legislative level. These changes will have an impact on all spheres of life, changing the usual structure of the economy, business and social systems as a whole. Problem. The author’s vision of the expected future in the development of e-audit at the legis­lative level of the country is presented, because without procedural regulation, normative conso­lidation, this type of activity will not have full and legitimate legitimacy. The development of e-audit in Ukraine is based on the best experience of progressive countries, taking into account the domestic specifics of management. The aim of the article is to highlight possible problems and ways to solve them at the regula­tory and legal level, which will ensure the effect­tive implementation and functioning of e-audit. Methods. General scientific and special met­hods of observation such as generalization, com­pa­rative, structural, systemic analysis, as well as modeling of business processes, and logical gene­ralization of results were applied in the article. Results. The authors have offered their app­roach to optimal ways of legal regulation of e-audit in Ukraine. Conclusions. International experience shows that the use of a tax audit file is a modern world trend and the basis for conducting e-audits; therefore, the development of its own version of SAF-T is one of the first steps towards the implementation of an electronic audit system, which Ukraine has successfully introduced. However, it is no less important to develop a new legislative act that would specialize in this area, so we propose the adoption of the law "On ele­ctronic audit". The selection or development of the necessary software products and specialized software is also important. Despite some problems, the prospects for the development of e-audit in Ukraine are obvious.

Authors: Yarovaya T. S. , Antonov A. I. , Matveeva I. V. , Solomatin E. O.
Published: February 2023

Operating areas are currently widely used in public service. They refer to rooms with a mass presence of people. The quality of customer service is influenced by a large number of people talking to each other at the same time. As a result, the audibility and intelligibility of speech in the operator-client pair decreases. Partitions of an incomplete height are arranged to improve the quality of customer service in operating areas.

Purpose: Methodology is proposed to evaluate acoustic changes in rooms with a mass presence of people from the standpoint of ensuring speech intelligibility.

Methodology: The method for assessing the speech intelligibility between the operator and client in space with partitions of incomplete height.

Research findings: The proposed method can be used to evaluate acoustic changes rooms from the standpoint of the speech intelligibility. The example is given to the technique used to solve this problem.

Practical implications: The proposed method and developed computer program for its implementation will provide a necessary acoustic mode through a purposeful design of space-planning solutions for partitions and determine their sound-absorbing and sound-insulating characteristics.
Reliability specification of crack opening in flexural reinforced concrete elements
Authors: Gerasimov E. P.
Published: February 2023

The paper focuses on the reliability specification of trouble-free operation crack opening in flexural reinforced concrete structures. The opening width is considered based on the reinforcement safety, i.e., safety due to corrosion.

The probabilistic approach is used in this paper. Instead of traditional economic indicators, abstract values were used, i.e., measures of safety and corrosion damage of reinforcement. Both values range from 0 to 1. Basic formulas, calculation sequence and results are given herein. The probability of trouble-free operation is calculated under the assumption that all initial design parameters and external influences are distributed according to the normal law. Calculations are performed depending on the crack opening duration and maximum permissible values of crack opening width. The obtained values of the reliability specification of trouble-free operation depend on the maximum permissible values of the standard crack opening width. They not depend on the crack opening duration. Calculation results can be used in the probabilistic approach to reinforced concrete structures.

OBJECTIVE

The use of thrombectomy alone (endovascular thrombectomy [EVT]) was found to be noninferior to combination therapy (EVT plus intravenous thrombolysis [IVT] with alteplase before thrombectomy [EVT+IVT]) in the DIRECT-MT (Direct Intra-Arterial Thrombectomy in Order to Revascularize AIS Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Efficiently in Chinese Tertiary Hospitals: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial), yet the economic value of omitting alteplase was unclear. Thus, in this paper the authors assessed the cost-effectiveness of EVT alone versus EVT+IVT in the DIRECT-MT.

METHODS

In the context of the Chinese healthcare system, the authors conducted a post hoc economic analysis of the DIRECT-MT based on an intention-to-treat approach. Index stroke costs were collected at the individual level, while costs after discharge were complemented with published literature and government websites. Utility weights assessed at 90 days using the 5-Level EQ-5D questionnaire were prospectively collected. For long-term modeled cost-effectiveness analysis, a Markov model with 7 health states corresponding to the 7 modified Rankin Scale scores was used. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. All costs are expressed in 2019 US dollars, discounted using the annual Consumer Price Index in China.

RESULTS

During the index hospitalization, the mean medication cost in the EVT-alone group was $487 lower than that in the EVT+IVT group ($2453 [95% CI $2205–$2701] vs $2940 [95% CI $2703–$3178], p = 0.01), but the mean overall costs were similar between the groups ($15,565 [95% CI $14,876–$16,254] vs $15,472 [95% CI $14,714–$16,230], p = 0.73). Within 90 days of the trial, there were no significant differences in total costs (difference −$222 [95% CI −$603 to $161], p = 0.06, bootstrapping) or utility values (median 0.84 [IQR 0.48–0.95] vs median 0.85 [IQR 0.26–1.00]; beta coefficient < 0.01 [95% CI −0.06 to 0.07]) between EVT alone and EVT+IVT. Over the lifetime horizon, EVT alone and EVT+IVT yielded comparable lifetime QALYs (2.02 QALYs [95% CI −0.07 to 4.55 QALYs] vs 1.90 QALYs [95% CI −0.09 to 4.55 QALYs]) and costs ($26,795 [95% CI $15,281–$54,463] vs $27,632 [95% CI $14,558–$52,251]).

CONCLUSIONS

In this economic analysis based on a trial conducted in China, the authors found that EVT alone was not associated with economic dominance over EVT+IVT in patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion.
Tracing paradigm shifts in information literacy: a progressive knowledge domain visualization approach
Authors:   , Whetstone Devon
Published: February 2023

An information literate population is a fundamental component of modern society, but the definition of what it means to be information literate has changed over time, resulting in debates within the information literacy community. Through the lens of Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions and Shneider's four stages of a discipline framework, this dissertation examines the progress of the information literacy research domain using both scientometric and content analysis methods. Three research questions are addressed in this study. First, the structural and temporal features of the information literacy knowledge domain are identified using document co-citation analysis to identify major research areas, landmark and hub documents, and active research topics. Second, pivotal papers connecting major research areas are explored using pathfinder network scaling algorithms to identify critical paths of transition in the domain. Finally, full-text pivotal documents are examined using qualitative content analysis to trace the progression of information literacy construct definitions in seminal research documents. Findings support a paradigm shift occurred in the domain when the skills-based information literacy definition was rejected in favor of a metaliteracy model. Technological advancement emerged as an influencing factor on paradigms, playing a major role in the domain's evolution over the past half-century. Information literacy research and instruction is built upon the framework used to define what it means to be information literate. Therefore, this study has practical implications for information literacy researchers, librarians, and students.

This research was carried out at the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in Serang City and the Serang City Social Service. Child-Friendly City is a district/city development system that integrates government, community and business commitments and resources that are planned in a comprehensive and sustainable manner in policies, programs and activities to fulfill children's rights. The objectives of this study are: 1) To find out how the implementation of the child-friendly city program in Serang City in the special protection cluster. 2) To find out the inhibiting factors for the implementation of the child-friendly city program in Serang City in the special protection cluster. This study uses the Regulation of the State Minister for Women's Empowerment and Child Protection No. 12 of 2011 concerning Child-Friendly Regency/City Indicators. This study looks at the special protection cluster with indicators a) Percentage of children who need special protection who receive services b) Percentage of cases of children dealing with the law that are resolved with a restorative approach c) There is a disaster management mechanism that pays attention to the interests of children d) Percentage of children who are treated free from the worst forms of child labor. The type of research used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Based on interviews, documentation, and observations in the field, it can be concluded that the Implementation of the Eligible City Program in Serang City in the Special Protection Cluster has not run optimally or has been carried out properly. This can be seen from the case of children who need special protection which is still increasing every year. In addition, there are still obstacles such as lack of human resources, conditions in the field, and lack of adequate facilities.
Statistical Anxiety from Gender Perspective of State Islamic Religious College Students in Indonesia
Authors: Iriyadi Deni
Published: February 2023

This study aims to see the condition of statistical anxiety in terms of the gender of PTKIN students. Considering that State Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKIN) students generally do not have a strong mathematical background, it is deemed necessary to examine how the statistical anxiety of students who do not have a strong mathematical knowledge is considered. Objective. Statistical anxiety is related to students' view of statistical learning, which is regarded as difficult for those who do not havestrong mathematical background knowledgee. Method. This study is a quantitative study with a comparative design that compares the statistical anxiety of PTKIN students based on a gender perspective. The sample number in this study was 479 respondents from PTKIN from 3 regions of Indonesia, namely the western, central, and eastern parts. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling from three Indonesia regions. Measurement of statistical anxiety using the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS) instrument developed by Pretorius & Norman is divided into three aspects with 17 statements. Result. The results showed differences in statistical anxiety based on the gender perspective of PTKIN students. Conclusion. The difference is due to differences in views between men and women responding to something. Women tend to have a more specific idea of things than men. This causes women tto end to be more anxious than men. Moreover, in general, PTKIN students do not have a strong background of exact knowledge.
Hukum Islam dan Nuansa Feminisme dalam Klaster Ketenagakerjaan Undang-Undang Omnibus Law
Authors: Pratama Herdifa , Johari
Published: February 2023

The problem of the existence of women in the world of employment has become a progressive issue to be discussed, both on an international scale and on a national scale in Indonesia. The rise of the feminist movement and the emergence of pioneering figures for women's emancipation also contributed to the initiation of the role of women as labors who deserve attention like male labors. This is what later became a sociological argument for Indonesia to be responsive to the issue of female labor through its legal products. Actually, this responsiveness can be seen from the issuance of Law Number 11 of 2020 which presents a new nuance in the employment cluster which was previously regulated in Law Number 13 of 2003. This study aims to elaborate on the capabilities of women as workers based on Islamic legal norms and identify the extent to which the nuances of feminism are present in the Indonesian Labor Law. The identification was carried out against Law Number 11 of 2020 which changed 31 articles, deleted 29 articles, and inserted 13 new articles from the previous Labor Law. The data in this study were collected through a literature study and then analyzed using a normative approach to Islamic law and a gender approach. The final conclusion of this research is that there is an offer of solutions in responding to issues of female labor that are developing in Indonesia.
Edukasi Keluarga Berwawasan Gender (Analisis Isi Akun Instagram @tuturmama.id)
Authors: Mujahidah Fikriyatul Islami
Published: February 2023

The Indonesia's deep-rooted patriarchate culture inflicves inequality. A husband is thought to be in a higher position than his wife and therefore be free to administer matters while she is obedient. Even domestic violence perpetrated by husbands against wives is common in Indonesia. Based on this fact it is necessary to educate societies about gender-minded families that view husband and wife in equal positions. One way is by using well-interest social media as Instagram as an effort to educate people. Researchers analyzed the instagram account @tuturmama.id to know the gender-insight family education being carried out. The study uses analysis of content with a qualitative descriptive approach through the analytical step of; data reduction, data presentation, and deduction drawing. Instagram account @tuturmama.id does gender-insight family education through the five categories of content: (1) equality of husband and wife roles, (2) cooperation between husband and wife, (3) the husband's role in domestic and nurturing spheres, (4) positioning the couple as partners without hierarchy, and (5) the wife's support of the husband's role in the home. The five categories of content are based on the three gender-oriented family concepts; (1) understanding and supporting each other's roles, functions, and positions in the home, (2) positioning spouses as husbands/wives, fathers/mothers, friends, partners, and lovers, and (3) making friend partners and partners in each decision making.
GENESIS OF SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION “METHODOLOGY OF ACCOUNTING”
Authors:   Ferenc Rakoczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Kish Yeva
Published: February 2023

The concepts of "theory", "methodology", "methodology" have been identified within the framework of such an instrument of epistemology, which is scientific terminology. Epistemology is a theory of scientific knowledge, one of the components of philosophy. It studies the laws and possibilities of cognition, explores the steps, forms, methods and means of the process of cognition, conditions and criteria for the truth of scientific knowledge. And methodology is part of epistemology, which studies the process of scientific activity. The method as a "path to something", a way to achieve, a set of cognitive opera- tions, actions, procedures, rules, techniques, norms of knowledge, is aimed at finding the truth, encourages movement towards the goal and aims to solve specific problems and achieve desired results. Methods are elements of the accounting methodology and at the same time are the implementation of tasks that face the accounting system and are made possible by their use. Spiri- tual or practical human activity, cognitive or transformative, individual or collective, ie the development of the world by man, is always accompanied by the use of certain methods. Methodological function is one of the main functions of philosophical theory. The article presents the scientific understanding of some scientists on the methodology of accounting. The evolution of elements of the accounting method is investigated in the article. The concept of method is revealed in different ways in textbooks and textbooks on accounting theory. Some authors understand the method of accounting as a set of techniques and methods by which accounting is carried out. Other methods of accounting are presented as a system of such techniques, only list and describe in detail its components. Accounting methodology is the fundamental basis and basis for the development of accounting science. The accounting methodology needs to be thoroughly transformed and modified. Individual elements of the method of accounting are not independent, isolated from others, but on the contrary are organically interconnected, are in continuous interaction and constitute the method of accounting only in its unity. The use of a system of such methodological tools as principles, methods, techniques, techniques and procedures allows to reveal the content and nature of the study of the subject of accounting.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE IN BANK LENDING TO THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE

. The banking sector is the most active participant in Ukraine’s integration process into the EU among other sectors of the economy, as 45% of banking institutions as of the beginning of 2022 have foreign investors in their equity capital structure. The purpose of the article is to study the European experience in lending to the agricultural sector and its implementation in the domestic banking system. In the present conditions, bank lending is an effective source of long-term financing of the economy around the world and the basis for its recovery from the crisis. Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has led to a deep crisis that will have far-reaching consequences for the financial sector. However, the banking system successfully resists the challenges of the war. In the process of European integration of the banking system, the cost of credit resources has significantly decreased. Thus, the average interest rates on loans ranged from 20.5% in 2019 to 8.8% in 2021, i.e. there was a significant reduction in the interest rate on loans, which met the requirements of the European integration of the banking system. Instead, in the first half of 2022, the cost of hryvnia loans to business entities grew to 17.9% per annum, the reason for this growth is a significant increase in credit risk due to the full-scale invasion of Russia. The banking system of Ukraine, led by the NBU, is trying to support Ukrainian producers and businesses as a whole. Thus, as of 01.07.2022, the agricultural industry received the largest share of loans, namely 53%, since it is a priority for the Ukrainian economy and guarantees food security to many countries of the world. Due to the limited budget financing of agricultural producers in 2022, bank lending remains one of the main sources of financing for current projects of agricultural enterprises. France and Poland are prominent examples of efficient banking lending programs for the agricultural sector, in particular organic production. The practice of bank lending in the EU countries allows us to make a conclusion about the comprehensive support of agricultural producers from the state and banking institutions, this deserves attention and introduction to the activities of Ukrainian banks. The transformation of European experience in agricultural lending will enable Ukrainian banks to acquire the latest skills in introducing various banking lending programs not only for agricultural producers but also for other economic entities. Attracting European experience into the domestic banking ecosystem will expand the range of banking services for agricultural producers, reduce interest rates on loans, guarantee the availability of credit resources, and provide credit insurance.
EUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: VR-TECHNOLOGY AS A PROGRESSIVE COMPONENT OF MODERN FOREIGN ECONOMY MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
Authors:   Grigory Skovoroda University in Pereyaslav, Kuznietsova Tetiana
Published: February 2023

The article shows the key role of the use of VR (virtual reality) technology in the process of modern university training of foreign economic activity managers as specialists of international level with the aim of European integration of higher education in management and an effective guarantee of Ukraine’s economy recovery in the post-war period. The causeand-effect relationship of students’ inability to undergo production practice in destroyed enterprises was analyzed and the quality of acquiring practical competencies in university business incubators with the use of 3D-simulators was proven. The author’s vision of the creation of a virtual enterprise as a student startup in the 4th studying year is offered, with the coverage of both results and conclusions in the thesis (qualification work). The author considered the following concepts: virtual reality «breaks» stereotypes in education, making it playful, interesting and exciting, and the educational community fully understands that integration to the European level will no longer allow training specialists in any field using old methods/techniques according to former methods/technologies; the main advantages of VR-technology are the maximum closeness to real life and absolute safety when going through threatening and risky situations; great attention is paid to the consolidation of higher education with business, subject to the compliance with the requirements of the green economy; the crucial role of investment projects and financial support not only from the state/government. Increased innovativeness and creativity, built exclusively on digital technologies with knowledge of several foreign languages. The main problem today, in the author’s opinion, is the unpreparedness of secondary education to provide educational services according to a certain formula with the constituent regulated parts of AR (augmented reality) and R (reality). Because only on this base/foundation a smooth transition to the formula with VR and R in higher education is quite logical. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to integrate VR evolutionarily into the educational process, and it is also dangerous mentally/psychologically to «immerse» school-age children in VR while studying. The positive revolutionary nature of the approaches of transformation, modernization and integration of higher education in management to the European scientific and educational, and information and technological environment is emphasized.
METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EVALUATING THE EFFICIENCY OF USING THE RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS SUBJECTS
Authors:   State Biotechnological University, Stepanenko Sergii
Published: February 2023

Ensuring the competitiveness and implementation of competitive advantages of agrarian business entities in the conditions of the development of the market economy in Ukraine is closely related to the processes of rational formation and effective use of their resource potential. The formation and development of resource potential takes place in different directions and is determined individually for each subject of agrarian business. In the course of the study, the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of management of the enterprise's resource potential was analyzed. The economic essence of the categories "potential" and "resource potential of the enterprise" is summarized. It was determined that in order to achieve the goals of enterprise development, the resource potential should be a system of interconnected optimal quantitative and qualitative resource proportions. Only under this condition is it possible to obtain positive economic and social results at various levels. At each specific stage, the resource potential covers a larger or smaller set of resources in different ratios. The structure of this potential affects the efficiency of the use of resources and the final result of the enterprise. The choice of the evaluation method depends on the goals and tasks of the research, the level at which the analysis and evaluation is carried out, the approach to understanding the essence and content of the formation, development and reproduction of the resource potential. A systematization of agricultural business subjects was developed according to the availability and degree of efficiency of use of resource potential. Directions for increasing the degree of efficiency of use of resource potential were proposed. The formation and development of agricultural enterprises of various types are closely related to the solution of organizational and economic tasks to increase the return from each spent unit of resource potential, its expanded reproduction, improvement of the structure, and improvement of the effectiveness of the activities of agricultural business entities.

The concept of sustainable development is well-known and widely researched. There is a lot of debate about the correctness of its translation, use, and understanding. One of the unexplored issues is the question of what the word "development" means in this term. Development can mean the state (level, degree) of the acquired development or process (movement, action), that is, the transition of an object from a worse state to a better one. The main principles of "development" are irreversibility and directionality. The article contains a description of philosophical and economic approaches to understanding the concept of "development". Also, the authors of the article analyzed the systems of sustainable development indicators developed by well-known international organizations (such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank, the United Nations, and others). Thanks to this, the authors were able to form the main hypothesis of this article - depending on the purpose of the study, a scientist can interpret sustainable development either as a certain level of development or as a speed (pace) of development, and depending on this, the results of the study will change. Then the authors confirmed this hypothesis in practice. They did two taxonomic analyzes (used two different observation matrices) and compared their data. The first analysis was conducted with qualitative indicators. Its result was the determined levels of development of the regions of Ukraine. The second analysis was conducted with relative indicators. Its result was the determined speed of development of the regions of Ukraine. The results of the ranked matrices were completely different. This confirms the hypothesis. It also means that any scientists at the research planning level should specify the purpose of this research. In other words, if the research is about sustainable development, then it is necessary to understand whether it is its level or the rate of growth. The research described in this article can be repeated on the basis of other data or deepened by using the matrix over a longer period of time.

The article substantiates the decisions aimed at restoring land use, and also highlights the tasks facing the economy in order to restore the land use system in the conditions of modern realities. The following methods formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the conducted research: the method of generalization (to justify the problems that have developed in land use in the current conditions), the method of analysis and synthesis (when studying the regulatory and legal acts that are currently adopted with the aim of improving the situation in land use), the method of deduction (for the formation of recommendations regarding management decisions that should be implemented to restore the land use system in Ukraine), scientific generalization (for the generalization of the results of the conducted research). An analysis of structural components aimed at restoring land use in Ukraine has been carried out. It has been established that in practice, in today's conditions, the main key solutions should be such as ensuring food security, diversification of production, development of rural areas, availability of qualified personnel, active cooperation with stakeholders, innovative solutions. The specified decisions should act on the basis of an emergent connection in order to rebuild the Ukrainian space for the time being at least to the pre-war level. The opinion is expressed that the practical implementation of key decisions should depend on compliance with such tasks as diversification of production, improvement of the national economy, cooperation of international organizations and national institutions, combination of long-term goals with short-term priorities, promotion of the restoration of scientific, investment and production activities, integration of donor funding projects and budget initiatives, combination of joint efforts, both budgetary and financial, economic, foreign economic, restoration of lost production and resource potential, provision of favorable conditions for implementation or restoration of economic activity, introduction of the latest technologies, minimization of military and political risks for investors.

Competitiveness is a complex system that provides for a number of measures and indicators that characterize the activities of any enterprise, including the industrial sector. In modern conditions of dynamic development and implementation of all economic processes, as well as the transformation of geopolitical conditions in the context of the manifestation of the influence of Industry 4.0 on industrial enterprises, a significant role is given to the change management system. Challenges for an industrial enterprise always exist throughout its entire life cycle. It should be noted that today, analyzing the pre-war state of Ukraine's economic security and the ability of its industrial sector to achieve the conditions for the development of Industry 4.0, it is difficult to talk about any success if there are a significant number of obstacles, negative factors and threats that prevent this from happening. A full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine is no longer some kind of challenge, negative factor or threat, it is a real danger that stopped the development of the Ukrainian economy for Industry 4.0, but even before it, our country had enough problems for this process. The purpose of the article is to study the features of the competitiveness of industrial enterprises and their adaptability to modern challenges in the change management system under the influence of Industry 4.0. The article includes a number of methods that form the research methodology. To characterize the features of the competitiveness of Ukrainian industrial enterprises and their adaptability to modern challenges in the change management system under the influence of Industry 4.0, the methods of induction and deduction, comparison and systematization were applied; methods of synthesis and analysis; methods of morphological analysis; abstract-logical method for theoretical generalizations and conclusions of the study As a result of the study, the state of competitiveness of Ukrainian industrial enterprises was determined and the main challenges facing the change management system in the conditions of Industry 4.0 were identified.
