CONNECTING MULTILITERACIES AND WRITING PEDAGOGY FOR 21ST CENTURY ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS: KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEACHER EDUCATION IN SINGAPORE AND BEYOND
Authors: Mizusawa Ken , Kiss Tamas
Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose: Given the dynamic, global and multimodal character of English in the 21st century, it should be reasonable to expect English language (EL) teaching to accommodate the influences of media and technology on modern communication practices. In Singapore, education policy therefore highlights multiliteracies as one of three foci for the EL classroom. Yet, scant attention has been paid in research and practice to the impact of technology-mediated communication on writing pedagogy. This paper presents the findings of an extensive multiple-case study research project which sought to establish how multiliteracies pedagogy was being utilized in Singaporean secondary teachers’ classrooms and the significant internal and external factors that contributed to classroom practice.
 
Methodology: The research explored six EL teachers’ practices within one unit of work, focusing on writing skills. Data were gathered through video recorded lesson observations, pre- and post-lesson interviews to explore rationales and justifications for planning and implementation, and focus group discussions to establish common practices, values and beliefs towards writing pedagogy.
 
Findings: The study found that although teachers were aware of and trained in multiliteracy practices, they dominantly addressed writing as a monomodal form of communication, limited student autonomy and critical development, and neglected culture in their instruction. 
 
Contributions: We argue that writing instruction must be socially situated and multimodal and teacher education must prepare practitioners to empower learners to become critical and effective writers. We also assert that examination-oriented practices make writing in the classroom inauthentic and largely incomprehensible, despite belief that the opposite is true.
 
Keywords: Language teacher education, literacy, multiliteracies, multimodality, writing.

PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLORS’ PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF MULTICULTURAL COUNSELLING IN MALAYSIA: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Authors: Mohd Jaladin Rafidah Aga , Simmonds Janette Graetz , Joseph Cynthia
Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose: The contemporary status of multicultural counselling field in Malaysia is ambiguous as there is limited research in this field. Even though Malaysia is deemed as a multicultural nation, there are still some issues and concerns with regards to the understanding and practice of multicultural counselling. Hence, the present research aims to: (a) explore the definitions of the term ‘multicultural counselling’ as perceived by professional counsellors; (b) identify the dimensions of multicultural competence as perceived by counsellors’ community sample; (c) identify the characteristics of a multiculturally competent counsellor; and (d) explore the most challenging cases or anecdotes experienced by professional counsellors when counselling culturally different clients in the local context.
 
Methodology: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were employed to gather 22 professional counsellors’ reflections on lived counselling experiences and their perceptions of multicultural counselling concepts. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the interview data, but with some adaptation to suit the functions of NVivo 9.
 
Findings: Several themes and categories emerged based on four probing topics (understanding of multicultural counselling, definition of multicultural competence, characteristics of a multiculturally competent counsellor, and challenging multicultural cases).
 
Contributions: The results seem to suggest that Malaysian counsellors need to continuously engage in professional development training and to actively seek practice opportunities with culturally diverse clients. The education sector and local professional bodies for counsellors also need to better train and educate pre- and in-service counsellors in order to become multiculturally competent practitioners.

INVESTIGATING THE NEEDS OF DEVELOPING A DIGITAL VOCABULARY LEARNING MATERIAL FOR MALAYSIAN INDIGENOUS LEARNERS IN ESL CLASSROOM
Authors: Wan Mahzan Mohd Syazwan , Alias Nor Aziah , Ismail Izaham Shah
Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose: An intervention program becomes a necessity when a learning problem arises. To ensure the program effectiveness, pedagogical and assessment decisions rely heavily on the actual needs of learners. Hence, this study aimed to conduct a needs analysis survey to investigate the indigenous learners’ needs in terms of their attitudes towards ESL learning, favorable language skills, topics of interest and preferable modes of learning. Unlike other groups of Malaysian learners, the indigenous experience extreme ESL learning disadvantage due to their struggle to assimilate themselves in a multi-ethnic school environment.
 
Methodology: This study employed design-based research (DBR) methodology with the utilization of mixed-method tools in the forms of document analysis and close-ended questionnaire. These data variations aim for the breadth and depth of understanding and corroboration. Past public examination results were used to highlight the indigenous learning problems in ESL learning followed by a survey questionnaire on forty-eight (48) 13-year-old indigenous learners.
 
Findings: The findings reveal that the indigenous possessed extremely poor vocabulary mastery and experienced high language anxiety. Nevertheless, they surprisingly exhibited high awareness towards the potential usage of English language, and this level of awareness posits their needs and readiness to explore other means of learning which are not currently offered to them such as digital game-based learning.
 
Contributions: The study informs ESL practitioners on the importance of considering the needs of the targeted learners and teachers involved so that contextualized, practical, and effective instruction could be designed, developed, and successfully delivered.
 
Keywords: Design-based research, indigenous learners, instructional design, mixed-method tools, needs analysis.

Authors: Kassim Jamaliah , Hutagalung Fonny Dameaty
Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose: Socioeconomic status (SES) exert different influences on child development. However, very few studies had examined the effects of SES on positive socio-emotional development including social skills. Thus, this study aims to examine the level of social skills and explores the differences across SES.
 
Methodology: Parents of 339 preschoolers in Selangor, Malaysia were selected through stratified random sampling. The questionnaires were distributed to parents through pre-school children. In this study, the 34-items of social skills scale from Preschool and Kindergarten Behavioural Scale-Version 2 (PKBS-2) was used and descriptive and one-way Welch’s F-tests analysis were conducted.
 
Findings: The study showed that the level of social skills was average. Analysis found that the preschoolers’ social skills were differed significantly across maternal education, Welch’s F (2, 78.95) = 19.88, p < .0001 and paternal education, Welch’s F (2, 78.95) = 19.88, p < .0001. Moreover, there was a significant difference in social skills across parental income, Welch’s F (2, 83.48) = 13.59, p < .0001.
 
Contributions: Knowledge of the level of pre-school social skills and the differences across SES can provide basic information and recommendations to the parents, teachers and authorities to improve preschoolers’ social skills.
 
Keywords: Family income, parental education, preschoolers, social skills, Socioeconomic status (SES).

INDIGENOUS EDUCATION FOR THE ORANG ASLI: LEGAL PERSPECTIVES AND BEST PRACTICES
Authors: Nordin Rohaida , Hassan@Yahya Muhamad Sayuti , Rui Fern Vatchira Wong , Cherley Melissa , Bala Subramaniam Lavernya
Published: June 2020

This study reviews legal instruments relevant to the rights of indigenous peoples to education, the indigenous education system in Malaysia, as well as their rights and practices in other jurisdictions. The review shows that the indigenous peoples in Malaysia face many challenges and issues while exercising their rights to education. Among the problems faced by indigenous peoples in Malaysia include the lack of access to trained teachers, inadequate funding, and a lack of knowledge among teachers, in terms of indigenous culture and tradition, which seemingly play no role in shaping the education system in Malaysia. Evidence of these problems can be seen in terms of the opportunities provided to indigenous peoples to participate in decision-making, curriculum design, teachers' selection, and teaching methods that respect indigenous cultures and traditions. This is not compatible with the international law standards and some states' best practices that recognize indigenous peoples' right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions and provide education in their language, in a manner consistent with non-discrimination teaching and learning culture. This paper is expected to contribute to improving the quality of education of the indigenous peoples in Malaysia through some recommendations.

MALAYSIAN STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR INTERACTIONS IN UK SEMINARS
Authors: Khairuddin Zurina , Khairuddin Zulaikha , Ibrahim Nadia
Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose: Coming from different social and academic cultures, students may exhibit perceptions which are in contrast to the convention of the targeted culture. Hence, this study aims to explore how first-year Malaysian students perceive their interactions in UK seminars.
 
Methodology: Employing qualitative research method, nine Malaysian students were chosen based on two criteria: they have to be first-year students and registered in content modules in UK university. The data were collected from interview and focus group discussion, and the audio-recordings were transcribed and analysed utilising thematic analysis.
 
Findings: The participants of this study perceive their interactions differently. Semek, Enot, Fatin, Ammar, Ming and Izlin mentioned that they responded during seminar discussion if they were nominated by the tutor and most agreed that they did not ask questions because information was provided to them or they could ask the tutor or their friends after the seminar. Fatin however disagreed and asserted that students should ask questions if they did not understand the academic content well. Qaisara, Puspa and Semek also shared that their lack of English language proficiency influenced their lack of contribution which was not the case for Fatin and Ming. Being marginalised as an international student was one of the reasons Semek did not contribute to the seminar discussions in contrast to Qaisara who felt the need to contribute.
 
Contributions: The findings of this study suggest that academic institutions should be flexible in encouraging students to be engaged in seminars as coming from different educational background, these students may require additional help to socialise in academic setting and consequently become expert members.
 
Keywords: Malaysian students, students’ perceptions, students’ interactions, UK seminars, verbal interactions.

Authors: Bulut Mehmet
Published: June 2020

The prosperity, stability, and socio-economic balance observed throughout Ottoman history was largely sustained by several key institutions developed in accordance with emerging challenges of the time whilst functioning effectively. Both the Ottoman economic mindset and impact of those institutions on the socio-economic and financial development cannot be ignored. In addition to other significant economic, social and political institutions, the waqf (charitable endowments) played a crucial role in Ottoman society and contributed to the supply of primary social needs, whether related to education, finance, health, economy, infrastructure or social stability. This article seeks to explore the role of waqfs, especially cash waqfs throughout 15th-19th century Ottoman Europe. It concludes that the investment of those waqf-based charity institution in religious, educational, health, and socio-economic sectors allowed for invaluable contributions in social spheres and public welfare in addition to playing a crucial role in the economic and financial stability and sustainability of the Ottoman society over long periods of time.

Published: June 2020

Various factors besides changes in people’s lifestyle have altered the consumers understanding of dietary, health and welfare life. As a result, interest and demand for functional foods, which have been gaining momentum and importance in recent years, have increased day by day. Milk and dairy products have an important place among the functional foods considered as the foods of today and tomorrow. These products are very convenient in producing functional products due to their positive health effects in daily diet. Ice cream, which has a wide product distribution within this group, provides an advantage in the functional products market because it has a high nutritional value, its composition can be easily changed and it is a food consumed by individuals of all ages. This increases the number of studies on the functionalization of ice cream. When the studies conducted for this purpose were screened, it was determined that probiotic, prebiotic and symbiotic, antioxidant and phenolic compounds, bioactive protein-based components, whey and its products, various fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, some sweeteners such as stevia, honey and sugar alcohols, dietary fibers, some vitamins and minerals were used extensively in the literature. In this review, nutraceutical components commonly used in functional ice cream production technology are grouped and studies on functional ice cream are included.

Authors: Alkan Sezai , Ertürk Ömer , Türker İsmail
Published: June 2020

Eggs were coated with propolis in order to determine its effect on egg quality and total bacterial count. Effect of storage time prior to propolis coating was also studied. Eggs were obtained from a local farm, coated with 0, 3, 6 or 9% of propolis and stored at 4 ÂºC with a humidity of 75% for 30 days. A total of 18 eggs were used for egg quality traits and 6 eggs were chosen for microbial activity for each group. Bacteria were recovered with sterile cotton swabs from egg surfaces. Colonies with different morphology and color were detected. 11 bacterial species were determined following the characterization of 14 isolates. Elevated levels of bacterial counts were detected for daily eggs, which were significantly higher than those stored for 30 days. The quality traits of the daily eggs have also been found higher compared with the other groups. It was observed that coating the eggs with varying concentrations of propolis lead to significant differences in the total bacterial counts of the eggshells. Moreover, the egg quality traits which decreased with the increase in storage time have not been further affected with propolis coating.

Authors: Javeed Farrukh , Abbas Asad , Rehman Lal , Rizvi Syed Raza Khairat , Afzal Ali , Aziz Hafiza Fatima
Published: June 2020

Background:

Cranial firearm injuries (CFAIs) are expected to be frequent during warfare; however, it is becoming increasingly common among civilian population in our part of the world. These injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in addition to financial loss. The objective of our study is to evaluate the pattern of gunshot injuries to cranium and their outcome.

Methods:

The study was conducted on 114 patients presenting with CFAIs to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan, between June 2015 and January 2019. Patients were evaluated with respect to age, gender, pattern of injury, Glasgow coma scale on arrival, radiological and clinical assessment, surgical intervention, and Glasgow outcome score measured at 6 months follow-up.

Results:

Among patients with cranial gunshot, injuries most were males (76.3%). More than 50% patients aged between 18 and 35 years. About 46.5% of patients presented with moderate traumatic brain injury commonly involving the temporal lobe (36.8%). Of total 114 patients, 84.2% were managed conservatively but wound debridement was done in all patients. At 6 months, the overall mortality in our patients was 33.3%. Patients with good outcome (GOS 4 and 5) were 30.7% and 35.9% patients had bad outcome (GOS 2 and 3). Complication rate was 14.9% and the most common complication was disseminated intravascular coagulation in 5.2%.

Conclusion:

Surgical intervention has no significant benefit over conservative management on long-term mortality and should be limited to patients with large intracranial hematomas and intraventricular hematomas causing hydrocephalus.

Published: June 2020

Oxidation is an essential reaction in the human body, which determines the expression of proteins in the body. This results in the altered expression like rapid growth resulting in cancers and other disorders. Many synthetic drugs are available in the market that is effective in limiting the free radical generation and the reaction of radicals with cells. Unfortunately, all those synthetic drugs were found to cause side effects and adverse effects in the body. But given the accuracy of the predictability of the results and administration, this research focuses on testing the anti-oxidant efficiency in rat models testing the biochemical parameters. Investigations have also been done on the anti-oxidant activity of Tectona, but every research was concentrated to prove the anti-oxidant activity only. extract had been tested for anti-oxidant activity by estimating various tissue parameters and it showed better activity. As predicted, there is a significant difference in the and results which can be explained are due to the physiological conditions that exist inside the body.
HENRI BERGSON: SCIENCE, LIFE-SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY AND THE HUMAN CONDITION
Authors: SHPEIZER Raz
Published: June 2020

The developments in 19th century life-science were, in many ways, a continuation of the scientific revolution that begun in the 16th century. Yet, these developments also marked a new era, since now not only matter, but also life and humans, could, ostensibly, be understood within the scientific paradigm. In the article, I argue that these developments met with two basic and polarized responses, which are manifested in the dichotomy between modernism and postmodernism. Moreover, this dichotomy continues to divide both the academic world and society more generally. However, I suggest that there is a third possible response, one taken by Henri Bergson and one that has received much less attention. This response offers a middle way between these extremes, acknowledging scientific achievements yet emphasizing the uniqueness of life and human existence. It thus seeks to maintain the autonomy of the study of life and of philosophy as a life-oriented discipline.
THE JUSTIFICATION OF THE DENIAL OF THE DIVORCE THESIS
Authors: VENUKAPALLI Sudhakar
Published: June 2020

The contemporary philosophical understanding of scientific rationality fundamentally distinguishes itself from the conservative positions by what may be considered a categorial reorientation by which it is meant that it replaces the old categories by the new ones in terms of which the essential nature of the structure and dynamics of science are described and explained. In the beginning, the radicalization of the categorial framework has been brought through category transformation, which is very well exemplified in the nullification of the discovery-justification distinction. Apart from this parasitic semantic content, ‘discovery’ carried a negative meaning in terms of what it is not. With the nullification of the distinction, the semantic content of discovery has become not only autonomous, and positive but also, comprehensive so much as to become the focal concept in grasping the essence of scientific activity. These changes have fundamentally altered the discourse about discovery in ways that can be of momentous significance to science education (Schickore and Steinle, 2006). An attempt is made in this paper to illuminate how the denial of the divorce thesis has been justified by the philosophical arguments of Marcello Pera(1981, 1994), Robert McLaughlin (1982), John Worrall (1985,2003)and Jarrett Leplin(1987,1997,2009) and Thomas Nickels(1985,2003,2014)
HANNAH ARENDT IN THE LIGHT OF SAINT AUGUSTINE. FROM POLITICAL ONTO-THEOLOGY TO REPUBLICAN PHENOMENOLOGY
Authors: MAKRIS Spiros
Published: June 2020

This article scrutinizes in-depth the theological dimension in Hannah Arendt’s political and ethical thought. In addition to the influences she received at a young age from the Catholic theologian Romano Guardini, Hannah Arendt was influenced, through her doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Karl Jaspers, by the philosophical, ontological and theological thought of St. Augustine. Both the fundamental Arendtian concepts of natality and amor mundi, as well as her phenomenological perception of time (i.e. past, present and future) have been influenced, to a great extent (naturally with Martin Heidegger’s influences), by the Augustinian thought. Hannah Arendt, as happens in Marx in his reading of Hegel, namely reverses the Augustinian notion of love, formulating a worldly field of love, full of Socratic and Aristotelian references. Actually, St. Augustine’s political ontotheology is transformed into a republican phenomenology where the critical stake of the earthly polis is not exhausted in amor Dei but is defined as a worldly freedom or, in other words, the pursue of public happiness in-the-world of the public sphere.
CO-DEPENDENCY IN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP-A LEARNED BEHAVIOUR
Authors: VLAICU Claudia , HAIDU Felicia Aurica
Published: June 2020

The present paper is structured as a theoretical article, explaining the paradigm codependency in intimate relationship, analysing the symptoms of co-dependency and suggesting cognitive-behaviour therapeutic ways of healing from co-dependency. The psychological premise of this approach is that co-dependency is a learned behaviour. The early life scenarios of co-dependents encompass actions of our parents displaying problems with boundaries, and unhealthy ways to communicate, so the most likely learned these behaviours and brought them into their intimate relationships. Children who grow up with emotionally unavailable parents also are at risk for being co-dependent. They often find themselves in relationships where their partner is emotionally unavailable, yet they stay in the hopes that they can change the person. The list of symptoms of co-dependency and being in a codependent relationship includes: low-self-esteem, reactivity, caretaking, control, dysfunctional communication, obsessions, dependency, denial, problems with intimacy and painful emotions.

PT. Asm Mobil adalah perusahaan yang bergerak dalam jasa service dan penjualan material service kendaraan yang pada tahun 2019 menetapkan sistem insentif untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dari segi penjualan sehingga timbul masalah dimana salah satu cabang pada beberapa periode terakhir tidak menyentuh target yang ditetapkan untuk mendapat insentif sehingga PT. Asm Mobil akan mengoptimalkan semua pengeluaran termasuk biaya distribusi material service yang pada kasus ini menggunakan satu produk pelumas mesin yang memiliki tingkat penjualan yang relatif stabil. Pada kasus ini peneliti menggunakan metode Vogel’s Approximation Method dan metode stepping stone untuk menghitung biaya optimum secara manual lalu selanjutnya peneliti mengaplikasikan metode stepping stone pada sofware Lingo untuk memverifikasi hasil perhitungan manual tadi supaya didapat hasil yang benar-benar optimal. Perusahaan saat ini menggunakan metode sederhana dengan mengacu pada ongkos terendah tanpa memperhitungkan kuantitas barang yang dikirim sehingga biaya distribusi material yang dikeluarkan saat ini sebesar Rp 5,454,360.00 sedangkan hasil perhitungan menggunakan metode transportasi dan diverifikasi sofware Lingo didapat biaya optimumnya sebesar Rp 5,451,800.00 atau 0,99% lebih optimum dibanding metode yang dipakai saat ini.

Authors: Thomas Auryn , Suhada Kartika
Published: June 2020

PT Hartono Istana Teknologi adalah perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang pembuatan produk elektronik, diantaranya: TV, DVD, mobile phone, tablet PC, portable audio dan active speaker. Saat ini perusahaan mengalami permasalahan penumpukan bahan baku produk active speaker. Hal ini menunjukkan kurang tepatnya metode pengendalian persediaan yang diterapkan. Selama ini Bagian PPIC telah memperhitungkan kebergantungan kebutuhan antar bahan baku untuk pembuatan produk jadi dan melakukan pemesanan bahan baku ke supplier tiap 4 hingga 5 minggu sekali, dimana periode tersebut ditetapkan berdasarkan estimasi yang belum mempertimbangkan besar elemen biaya pengendalian persediaan. Oleh karena itu dalam penelitian ini akan diusulkan pengendalian persediaan yang akan meminimasi total biaya pengendalian persediaan yang timbul.

 

Dalam penelitian ini yang diamati adalah produk active speaker tipe PS-PAS09(B)59, karena memiliki penjualan tertinggi. Langkah awal yang dilakukan menghitung elemen biaya pengendalian persediaan, meliputi: biaya pesan, biaya simpan dan biaya setup. Selanjutnya dilakukan perhitungan pengendalian persediaan dengan teknik lotting mengikuti kebijakan perusahaan dan teknik lotting Wagner Within yang merupakan usulan. Perhitungan MRP menggunakan bantuan program WinQSB versi2.0.

 

Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan diketahui bahwa penerapan teknik lot sizing usulan menghasilkan penurunan total biaya pengendalian persediaan dari Rp 111,033,881.91 menjadi Rp 147,617,045.19. Dengan demikian terjadi penghematan sebesar Rp 36,583,163.28 atau 25%.

КОРПОРАТИВНА КУЛЬТУРА ЯК КЛЮЧОВИЙ ЧИННИК РОЗВИТКУ ТОРГОВЕЛЬНОГО ПІДПРИЄМСТВА
Authors: Hromko Liliia
Published: June 2020

У статті встановлено, що корпоративна культура є специфічним продуктом діяльності і розвитку підприємства, виявляється в системі використовуваних цінностей, які розділяє весь персонал, завдяки цілеспрямованим діям суб'єкта управління з «прищеплення» працівникам єдиних культурних стереотипів поведінки. Систематизовано чинники, що впливають на формування корпоративної культури. Узагальнено принципи формування корпоративної культури, дотримання яких дозволяє провести організаційні зміни, не викликаючи у персоналу неприйняття і протидію їм.
Доведено, що найбільш вірогідним вектором необхідних організаційних змін в діяльності вітчизняних торговельних підприємств на сучасному етапі є перехід від технократичного управління до організаційної демократії, що забезпечує підвищення організаційної ефективності на основі розвитку процесів самоорганізації та самоврядування. Виявлено, що корпоративна культура є найважливішим фактором будь-яких змін на торговельних  підприємствах.
АЛЬТЕРНАТИВНА ЕНЕРГЕТИКА В УКРАЇНІ: СТАН ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ
Authors: Gelich Natalia , Panasiuk Yurii , Onishchyk Vladyslav
Published: June 2020

В даній статті здійснено оцінку сучасного стану в альтернативній енергетиці в Україні та світі, а також проведена оцінка досвіду інших країн з розвитку «чистої» енергетики. У зв’язку з постійним ростом споживання енергії постає питання розвитку альтернативних поновлювальних джерел енергії з мінімальним впливом на навколишнє середовище. В Україні вже протягом досить тривалого терміну діє «зелений тариф», але окрім цього, наша країна має можливість порівняти досвід різних країн в сфері альтернативної енергетики та використати найефективніші методи стимулювання розвитку альтернативної енергетики. При здійсненні стимулювання розвитку «чистої» енергетики необхідно враховувати також її негативний вплив на навколишнє середовище та здійснювати заходи для його мінімізації.
ІНСТИТУЦІОНАЛЬНЕ СЕРЕДОВИЩЕ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ГАЗОРОЗПОДІЛЬНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ЗАХІДНОГО РЕГІОНУ
Authors: Galyant Sergey
Published: June 2020

В даній статті було досліджено інституціональне середовище, яке забезпечує безпосередню дію між прийняттям рішень суб’єктів газорозподільного призначення щодо експлуатації спеціальних інституцій. Інституціональне середовище газорозподільних підприємств є доволі специфічним та охоплює чинники зовнішнього та внутрішнього впливу. Тому нами з’ясовано реакція газорозподільних підприємств та мінливість регіонального середовища та недоліків зовнішньої дії.

Нами доведено, що саме розвинене інституційне середовище охоплює присутність потрібних інституцій та взаємоузгоджує їх. Цей процес чинить ланцюгову реакцію на внутрішні бізнес процеси газорозподільних підприємств, організаційно-технічному розвитку, як формування міжнародного іміджу української газотранспортної системи, збільшення якості та надійності послуг по транспортуванню та газорозподілу. Дослідивши природу інституцій та їх вплив на розвиток підприємств було умовно поділено їх на активні та пасивні.
РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ЖИТЛОВО-КОМУНАЛЬНОЇ СФЕРИ В МІСЬКИХ АГЛОМЕРАЦІЯХ ЗА УМОВ ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗАЦІЇ
Authors: Pavlova Olena , Pavlov Kostiantyn , Kupchak Volodymyr
Published: June 2020

В статті розглянуто теоретичні та практичні проблеми розвитку житлово-комунальної сфери міських агломерацій в умовах децентралізації. Деталізовано суть та значення поняття «децентралізації», конкретизовано тлумачення наукових видань з цього приводу. Досліджено етапи та особливості формування міських агломерацій житлово-комунального господарства в регіонах України. Охарактеризовано основні риси та типи пануючих міських агломерацій в Україні, а також з’ясовано основні перепони, які перешкоджають їх успішній реалізації в господарський устрій регіону; відмічаються специфіка створення міських агломерацій провідними країнами світу. Проаналізовано діюче нормативно-правове забезпечення дієвості міського агломерації. Обґрунтовується, що досвід реформування житлово-комунальної сфери кожної з країн є унікальним та віддзеркалює специфіку окремо взятої країни, що призводить до неефективності запровадження зарубіжного досвіду, без врахування власного економічного, соціального та територіального потенціалу. Досліджено агломераційний ефект, який отримується шляхом ефекту від масштабу,  збільшення відносного показника наданих послуг на одиницю площі, кількісне та якісне зростання обслуговування за рахунок ефективності  науково-дослідних установ, навчальних закладів та дії впливу соціальної інфраструктури. Сформовано пріоритетні напрями проникнення інноваційних підходів та методів в житлово-комунальну сферу міського агломеративного регіонального угрупування. Доведено, що динамічність процесів реформування житлово-комунальної сфери міських агломерацій залежить від ефективності використання механізмів державно-приватного капіталу задля реалізації важливих інфраструктурних об’єктів.
