Authors:   National Aviation University, Vasyleha Vadym V.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the development of a mechanism for ensuring the economic security of enterprise under the influence of the external environment. The relevance of the study of scientific approaches to the mechanism of ensuring the economic security of enterprise under the influence of the external environment is determined, in particular, the essence of the mechanism, structure, goals, objectives, patterns and methods of ensuring economic security are considered. It is proposed to understand the mechanism of ensuring the economic security of enterprise functioning as a set of interrelated and interacting elements that are aimed at creating conditions for the effective operation of enterprise and protecting it from external and internal threats. The main elements of the mechanism are defined, which include: the form of organization of production, economic or economic connections (relations), the system of incentives, management, planning, financing, taxation, and pricing. It is noted that the target orientation of the mechanism is determined by organizational forms and economic instruments. Organizational forms are organizational structures that are responsible for ensuring the economic security of an enterprise. Economic methods and measures that are used to ensure the economic security of an enterprise are economic instruments. The theoretical and philosophical component, which is the foundation of the formation of the mechanism and represents a system of beliefs in the enterprise system, which contains a way of thinking and obligations of each employee to perform their job functions in accordance with safety requirements, is substantiated. The main functional components are defined, namely: financial, intellectual and personnel, technical and technological, political and legal, informational, environmental, and power. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition of specific instruments of the mechanism depending on the conditions of functioning of enterprise, the stage of development of its financial and economic activity and, as a result, on the level of economic security of enterprise.

Published: May 2024

Diversification is considered as an effective method of stable development of enterprise in the long term, which makes it possible to timely and promptly respond to changes in the needs and market conditions by functioning in different markets, which is relevant in the current conditions of market instability, rapid decline or disappearance of demand for individual goods and services. In order to achieve the purpose of the article, i. e., clarification of the essence of the concept of «diversified enterprise», the literature sources are analyzed and the authors’ own experience of studying the activities of such enterprises is applied; the diversity and lack of a clear understanding of the very concept of diversification of production are established, which does not allow to make generalizations about the activities of the enterprise. The research in the article is carried out using the methods of generalization, abstraction, analysis, synthesis. With regard to the definition of the essence of diversification of production, and, consequently, of enterprise, the expediency of allocating the factors that characterize the causes, results, breadth of coverage of directions and spheres of activity, structural structure has been determined. This made it possible to form a definition and interpret diversified enterprises as business structures that expand existing areas of activity or create new ones, organizationally (with allcation or without separation of business units) and/or legislatively (contractual, legally formalized) independent or dependent in a pure or mixed form, ensuring the achievement of relevant goals due to current and/or strategic reasons. The presented conclusion summarizes the substantiation of a unified approach to understanding the essence of diversification of enterprise as an effective method of its stable activity in the long term, focuses on the factors characteristic of diversified enterprises, the combination of which ensures their competitive advantages. The given interpretation of the concept of «diversified enterprise» will contribute to a simpler, clearer, more effective allocation of specific universal types (kinds) of these structures.
Tax Revenues in the Total Revenues of Local Budgets of Ukraine and Their Fiscal Potential
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Slavkova Alla A.
Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to analyze the dynamics of tax revenues of local budgets in Ukraine for the period from 2018 to 2023 and to study their structure and share in the total revenues of local budgets, the consolidated budget and the country’s GDP to identify their fiscal potential and influencing factors. Analyzing the dynamics of tax revenues of local budgets from 2018 to 2023, it is worth noting the overall growth of these revenues during the mentioned period. However, the ongoing war that began in 2022 and other external factors have significantly affected this dynamic, leading to fluctuations. The article examines not only the general dynamics of tax revenues, but also their structure, distribution by main components and their relation to the total revenues of local and consolidated budgets, as well as a percentage of GDP. The share of tax revenues in total local budget revenues in Ukraine has undergone significant changes, increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in 2022, but slightly decreasing in 2023. The share of these revenues in total consolidated budget revenues also decreased in 2022 and 2023, indicating the impact of economic instability and war. The share of local tax revenues in GDP increased in 2022 and 2023, reflecting the increased role of local taxes in financing and adapting to new economic conditions. The dynamics and structure of local taxes and fees, as well as their contribution to the tax revenues of local budgets, are also considered. Analysis of the dynamics of local taxes and fees shows a steady growth in 2019–2020, but a sharp decline in 2022 due to hostilities. However, in 2023, there is a positive trend along with growth, which indicates the stabilization and recovery of the economy. The structure of local taxes and fees is undergoing changes, in particular, there is an increase in the share of the single tax, which indicates a strategic rethinking of the taxation system to simplify and increase the efficiency of tax collection. The increase in the share of local taxes and fees in the tax revenues of local budgets testifies to their importance in the financial support of local authorities and their economic self-sufficiency and stability. In general, the analysis provides an opportunity to understand the economic situation in the regions of Ukraine and the impact of external and internal factors on financial processes in Ukraine. The results obtained can be useful for government agencies, economists and researchers interested in the financial stability and economic development of the regions of Ukraine.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to study the problematic aspects of property tax administration and identify approaches to its improvement. It is found that property tax revenues in Ukraine are at a low level relative to GDP, their share in GDP does not exceed 1%, while the level of this ratio in the EU Member States is on average 2.2%. During the period under analysis, there is a tendency to a slow reduction in the share in GDP of both local taxes and fees, as well as property tax, which makes local budgets dependent on transfers from the State budget and the shares of national taxes and fees assigned to them. There is a steady tendency to reduce the share of property tax in the tax revenues of local budgets of Ukraine in recent years, which is associated with the full-scale war in Ukraine and the tax benefits for the payment of property taxes adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. It is determined that the largest share in the structure of property taxes falls on land payments, while the share of transport tax is very low due to the limited list of objects that are liable to taxation. The main problems of property tax regulation in Ukraine have been allocated as follows: insufficient level of effectiveness in the administration of real estate tax, imperfect process of determining the property tax base, unreasoned establishment of property tax benefits, centralized administration of property taxes. Different approaches to tax administration and foreign experience on this issue are analyzed. The expediency of transferring the powers to administer property taxes to local self-government bodies in order to strengthen the financial capacity of communities and reduce public expenditures is substantiated. It is defined that local self-government bodies represent the most interested subject in the formation of a self-sufficient system of local finances, and tax service bodies have insufficient resources and have low motivation to administer property taxes. The problems for local authorities in case of obtaining powers to administer property tax are outlined. A new model of property tax administration has been proposed, in which local self-government bodies exercise the entire set of powers to administer property taxes. Directions for improving the property tax administration system in Ukraine are also proposed.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to study the development and change of the conception of resilience of socioeconomic systems in the modern turbulent world, as well as to create a theoretical construct for the market resilience of business. The conception of BANI of the world, which demonstrates the chaotic and unpredictable nature of modern society and technological environment, is studied, so business organizations must not only be resistant to stress, but also ready for change and even successfully function in conditions of uncertainty and instability in order to adapt to the new reality. Thus, the central theme of world economic thought is the study of «resilience» in general, as well as its various aspects and potential ways to guarantee the sustainability of social, economic and ecological systems. Resilience is considered as an economic category, which is inherent in the subject of economic activity at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels. The main methodological approaches to resilience are proposed, which contain the following key components: crisis management of the socioeconomic system; change and innovation management; organizational culture and leadership; staff resilience. A new approach that changes the attitude to resilience as an economic category – the paradigm of Industry 5.0 – is considered. In the context of resilience, this paradigm aims to create viable, flexible and resilient systems that can adapt to different challenges. The types of resilience of different levels of the socioeconomic system are examined and systematized. The authors concluded that these kinds intersect, interact and complement at different levels, which is an important aspect of ensuring the stability and adaptability of this system. A definition of the concept of market resilience has been proposed, which is a characteristic of a business organization, which determines its ability to create new opportunities for sustainability, survival and development in conditions of total uncertainty, non-linear and unpredictable changes in the internal and external environment. The key elements of the formation of market resilience of a business entity are systematized and characterized.

The aim of the study is to adapt the method of multi-criteria analysis of alternatives SAW (simple additive weighing), as considered in both domestic and foreign publications, for the possibility of creating a production alliance of «Chumak» PJSC; to carry out an assessment of the prospects for the use of such a methodology in domestic practice; further, an identification of its strengths and weaknesses; outlining the main aspects of using strengths and minimizing weaknesses in Ukrainian business practice. The article is devoted to the issue of creation of production alliances among Ukrainian enterprises in order to overcome the consequences of russian aggression, stimulate innovative processes in the management of operational activities of enterprises and further creation of strategic alliances for mutual promotion and sale of goods and services, i. e. affiliate marketing. The methodology of multi-criteria analysis of alternatives SAW (simple additive weighing) was used stage by stage to select the optimal strategy for creating a production alliance. For this purpose, the problematic issue of advanced analysis has been identified, a system of alternatives, criteria for evaluating alternatives and a system for determining assessments of criteria based on qualitative and quantitative indicators has been formed. An integrated grading scale has been developed. A quantitative assessment of alternatives according to the proposed criteria has been carried out. The Altman model and the financial stability coefficient are applied as criteria for alternatives. A matrix of decisions has been built, its normalization has been implemented by certain weighting coefficients of criteria. Based on the calculations, a possible order of alternative options for creating a production alliance between «Chumak» PJSC and enterprises operating in the food market of Ukraine has been derived. The relevance of the problem of forming a strategic alliance is attested, given the presence of different approaches to choosing partners and the impossibility of allocating a single correct approach to determining groups of criteria without adapting to each individual industry.

Published: May 2024

The obvious transformation of the world economic space puts forward new requirements for the adaptive properties of Ukrainian organizations in the context of their adaptation to new threats and challenges. Of critical importance is the creation and development of organizations that, due to their internal characteristics, are able to gain the status of competent both in the European and post-war Ukrainian markets. The aim of the article is to develop a conception for the creation and functioning of a competent organization, which consists of a set of interrelated provisions, which will allow to develop methodological support for this process, taking into account the specific characteristics of each stage of the organization’s life cycle. The article characterizes the procedure for carrying out scientific research of a competent organization at the metatheoretical level of cognition, which harmoniously combines the use of methods of empirical and theoretical levels, combining them into a group of general scientific ones. The necessity of adopting a synergetic paradigm of research, which provides an opportunity to study competent organizations as systems that are difficult to describe with a small number of variables and almost impossible to measure empirically, to identify the synergetic effect of their functioning, while developing ways to enhance it, is substantiated. The expediency of integrating the provisions of various organizational theories, the formation of a system of scientific principles as a methodological basis for research, the choice of a set of cognitive methods for an in-depth study of the problem has been proved. The formation of the methodological foundations of scientific research has become the basis for the development of the conception of creation and functioning of a competent organization, which is based on the construction of a system of interrelated provisions and allows taking into account the specifics of organizational activities at different stages of the life cycle of an organization. Further research will be aimed at determining the necessary components of organizational competence to solve priority management tasks at each stage of the life cycle, identifying those that require additional development, which will allow Ukrainian organizations to increase the level of their own competence in the modern market.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to study the evolution of scientists’ views on the category of human capital and to reproduce the genesis of this scientific category. Human capital is considered in the article as a multifactorial intellectual system that explores the emergence, development, formation and improvement under the influence of objective and subjective factors. The article analyzes the history of the development of economic thought and the evolution of the theory of human capital. A study of the system of scientific tools of representatives of mercantilism, the school of physiocrats, classical political economy, marginalism, neoliberalism, neoclassical theory, Keynesianism, institutional school and neo-institutionalism is carried out and the possibilities of its application in the global context of human development are determined. The objective economic, organizational, historical, scientific-technical, social and institutional prerequisites for the formation of the conception of human capital are defined. The conception of human capital is a new socioeconomic paradigm, the basis for the formation of which was the transition from the traditional economic system of development to the modern or innovative system. Within the framework of the theory of human capital, a person is considered through the prism of economic processes: social production, reproduction, economic activity. This was the basis for the rapid formation and spread of the theory of human capital. Objective reality emphasizes the importance of the formation and effective use of human capital, and significant scientific achievements on this issue confirm the long process of evolutionary development and relevance regardless of time intervals. The directions for further research include the development of methods for assessing human capital, in particular on the basis of the Human Development Index, a powerful tool for analyzing global processes and transformations in society.
Improving the Methodology for Assessing the Investment Security of the State, Taking into Account the «Round Tripping» Investments
Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Babets Iryna H.
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the features of «round tripping» investments that come to the country in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI), but in its essence is the return of previously withdrawn domestic capital abroad, mainly to offshore jurisdictions. The author suggests that there is a significant impact of «round tripping» investments on the investment security of the State, taking into account the motives of their formation and a significant illegal component, the absence of additional effects from attracting these investments into the economy. It is proposed to supplement the system of indicators of investment security of the State with the indicator «share of «round tripping» investments in the total volume of FDI (excluding reinvested capital)». To find out the directedness of the relationship between this indicator and the country’s economy, a regression analysis based on the data of 2010–2022 was applied. As a result of the analysis, a direct relationship between GDP in actual prices and GDP per capita, as dependent variables, and the share of «round tripping» investments in total FDI as an independent variable, has been identified. The article assesses the level of investment security of Ukraine in 2015–2021 taking into account the share of «round tripping» investments in the total volume of FDI (excluding reinvested income) based on the calculation of the integral indicator. The results of the calculation of the sensitivity coefficients of the integral indicator to changes in indicators testified to the largest impact of «round tripping» investments on the state of investment security of Ukraine in 2021. The carried out study confirmed the expediency of improving the methodology for assessing the investment security of the State by supplementing the system of indicators with the indicator of the share of «round tripping» investments in the total volume of FDI (excluding reinvested income).
Methods of Multi-Purpose Decision-Making on the Management of Transparency of Enterprise Development in the Context of Convergence of Investment Processes
Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Zaitseva Anna S.
Published: May 2024

It is determined that one of the priorities in any national economy is the problem of forecasting and assessing the level of transparency of development, quality and reliability of functioning of industrial enterprises, their technological and economic subsystems. This has a direct impact on the level of investment, the nature of financing, the distribution of costs for the production of finished products with the achievement of a given quality and reliability, as well as on the financial condition and image. In addition, it has a direct proportional effect on the well-being of society and the quality of life of the population. On the other hand, investing in the real sector of the economy requires banks and other investors not only to optimize investment programs, but also to take into account the specifics of financial, production, economic and socioeconomic activities of industrial enterprises as market participants, and, accordingly, application of models that appropriately link investments with sales policies, production, management, staff, location of production facilities, taxation, etc. It is concluded that the positive level of management of transparency of development of industrial enterprises in the context of convergence of investment processes is inseparable from the processes of planning, regulation, control and forecasting of production and technological processes, as well as the allocation of resources in the process of performing certain complex tasks. Determining the optimal options for current and future development is often associated with solving large-dimensional optimization problems with a large number of different conditions and constraints (for example, requirements for the completeness of variables combined with requirements for the absence of time losses), which, due to their extreme nature, complicate the solution of such problems. Effective methods for optimizing multi-purpose investment decisions in managing the transparency of the development of industrial enterprises in the context of convergence of investment processes include methods for analyzing the usefulness of goals, criteria and alternatives, including those with several vectors; methods of hierarchy of goals, taking into account a number of advantages; information about the chosen strategy, alternatives, their parameterization, stochasticity, substitution ratios, and other characteristics. All these factors can be taken into account for the classification of models of multi-purpose and program-target solutions and the use of the most effective of them when choosing the optimal investment solution in managing the transparency of the development of industrial enterprises in the context of convergence of investment processes.

The article examines dynamic scenarios and features of the development of innovative technologies in public management and administration. Attention is focused on studying the nature of the distribution of resources both material and labor, aimed at the creation of new technologies and the accumulation of knowledge. The process of creation of innovative technologies is analyzed as one of the types of knowledge created in the research and development sector, used by all economic agents and is an innovative component of public administration. The aim of the article is to identify the features of the process of accumulation of knowledge and creation of new technologies on the basis of a system analysis of the process of development of innovative products in the public services sector. The systemically dynamic approach presented in the article, in contrast to the existing studies, is carried out on the basis of empirical system scientific analysis, as well as the on the basis of experience of researches on the efficiency of work organization, taking into account technological trends. The influence of the parameter, which characterizes the elasticity of the speed of development of new technologies in relation to the amount of available knowledge in the research sector, on the dynamics of development of the innovative component of public administration is analyzed. A study of three different scenarios has been carried out, and it has been determined under what conditions long-term stable development and growth are possible. The effect of the results of public administration is often manifested only in the long run. A systemically dynamic approach to the study of the innovative component of the provision of public services makes it possible to identify the key components that play a central role in the performance of public administration functions. The formation and development of the innovation sector and the creation of new technologies, the State policy of its support and cooperation are necessary and important in the difficult realities of today. Although developments in the research sector are not the only source of technological change, they are one of the main sources of innovation and the main center for the creation of new innovative products and processes used in public administration and most sectors of the economy.

Published: May 2024

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for some arboviral diseases such as Yellow fever, dengue, zika and chikungunya. This specie of invasive mosquito has gained attention globally because of their fast-spreading trend and successful adaptation. This study was designed to determine the larval abundance and physic-chemical parameters of Aedes aegypti from three breeding sites within Kano metropolis. Determination of larval abundance was performed using ovitraps according to the protocol described by Wan-Norafikah et al., 2012. Twenty ovitraps were placed BUK old site, BUK New site and SOT from April – September, 2023. Physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Temperature, Electrical conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Total Dissolved Solids, Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids were measured for all breeding habitats. A total of 2959 Aedes aegypti larvae were collected in the study areas within Kano metropolis which comprised of BUK old site 31.80%, BUK New Site 32.75% and School of Technology (Kano Poly) 35.45%. The study revealed that temperature ranges from 29.98oC to 31.05oC, pH range of 6.37 – 6.74, TDS level of 109.80 – 305.09 mg/L and Electrical Conductivity ranges from 270 – 390 µS/cm. It can be concluded from this study that Aedes aegypti are abundant in the study area and also physic-chemical parameters of the breeding habitats showed significant variations among the three breeding habitats. This data may help in management of Aedes aegypti especially in eliminating stagnant water which serves as the breeding habitat.

Published: May 2024

Cognitive and affective interrelationships are increasingly gaining importance in educational literature, assigning emotions a prominent role in the teaching and learning process. This study aims to promote awareness among prospective teachers of their emotional vulnerability and the influence of affective and emotional aspects in the teaching of natural sciences, mathematics, and social sciences. The research had a dual purpose: to analyse the beliefs, attitudes, and emotions of prospective teachers regarding the teaching of these disciplines and to examine the impact on their beliefs and emotions after undergoing specific training. The study topic is justified by the growing attention emotions are receiving as decisive factors in learning processes and the persistent substantial gap in scientific education research, particularly in the realm of online teacher training. To address and analyse this gap, a descriptive quantitative survey study on beliefs, attitudes, and emotions towards the teaching of these courses before and after participation in a training program was designed. The analysis of the data revealed results consistent with previous studies. Specifically, the results demonstrated that prospective teachers showed more negative emotions, beliefs, and attitudes towards the teaching of natural sciences and mathematics compared to the teaching of social sciences. However, in all cases, improvements were observed after receiving specific training. These findings highlight the need to incorporate emotional improvement projects into online teacher training, particularly in the fields of natural sciences and mathematics.

Authors: Siew Nyet Moi , Basari Jupri
Published: May 2024

Students showed poor performance in applying higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in solving Additional Mathematics problems. Therefore, this study examined the effects of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Collaborative Learning (CL) assisted by Geometer's Sketch Pad on the four levels of HOTS of Form Four students, namely Applying, Analysing, Evaluating and Creating. In addition, the effects of PBL-CL on the four collaborative skills (CS) constructs, namely Academic Benefits, Social Benefits, Generic Skills, and Negative Aspects, were also examined. A PBL-CL module was developed as a guide for teachers. A HOTS test and CS questionnaire were developed to assess the level of HOTS and collaborative skills of students, respectively. This study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group research design involving 270 Form Four students in Sabah, Malaysia. The assessment of HOTS involved three intervention groups, namely PBL-CL, PBL and Conventional Learning (Conv) group, while the assessment of CS involves two intervention groups, namely PBL-CL and PBL groups. The results showed that the PBL-CL group produced significantly higher post-test mean scores compared to the PBL and Conv groups in all four levels of HOTS and also produced a significantly higher post-test mean score than the PBL group in all four CS constructs. This shows that the PBL-CL method has a positive effect in helping the development of HOTS and CS of Form Four students. Therefore, Additional Mathematics teachers are strongly recommended to integrate PBL-CL in their classroom to increase the level of HOTS and CS among students.

Authors: Unluer Sema
Published: May 2024

The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant challenges in Turkey, as in many other countries, in the transition from face-to-face to online education at all levels of education. This shift has brought forth numerous obstacles, particularly for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (d/Dhh) university students. Hence, this research aims to identify the challenges encountered during online learning amidst the pandemic at the School for the Handicapped (SfH), the only institution in Turkey providing vocational higher education to hearing-impaired students. Conducted as a qualitative case study at the SfH, the research involved 20 hearing-impaired students and 19 faculty members as participants. Data obtained from the Mergen Anadolu Learning Management System platform, WhatsApp Platform and other platforms, was used for online education. Interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and the researcher’s journal were compiled and analyzed inductively. Findings from the study highlighted a multitude of challenges encountered in the online learning process, affecting both faculty members and students at the SfH. The challenges encountered by participants in online learning at the SfH were found to be related to difficulty in understanding lessons, lack of subtitles and sign language translation, difficulty accessing computers and software, Internet problems, low camera usage, low motivation, and lack of interaction.

The goal of the study is to measure the degree of psychological hesitancy experienced by the Olympic fencers competing in the Salma Hussein Al-Jumaili Championship during touch performances. The study made the assumption that psychological reluctance differs between male and female players. To fit the nature of the research, the researchers adopted the descriptive technique in the comparison procedure. The research community was identified as players participating in the Salma Hussein Al-Jamili championship, they represent the population and the research sample only. Forms that do not meet the conditions were excluded from them, so their number reached (70) students. They were chosen intentionally and the tools used in the research were the psychological hesitation scale. The researcher used the appropriate statistical treatment and the researchers concluded that there is psychological hesitation among the Paralympic fencing players in a manner close to the hypothesized mean. There is more psychological hesitation for female players than for male players, and this is what the results showed. Therefore, the researchers recommend that coaches pay attention to the psychological preparation of Paralympic fencing players in general and fencing in particular in order to gain control and self-confidence in order to get rid of psychological hesitation. Pay attention to increasing the confidence of Paralympic fencing players and their ability to make decisions. To prevent psychological problems and hinder their performance.
