Authors: Boyd Simone Imani , Dreier Melissa J , Jorgensen Saskia Linnea , Moghaddas Serena L. , Kleiman Evan , Hamilton Jessica L.
Published: March 2024

Social media (SM) is widely used among adolescents, making the relationship between SM and affect in this population important to understand. However, previous research has largely used methods that do not capture the dynamic and variable nature of SM or measure the consistency of effects across global affect and specific emotions. The current study examined the momentary relationship between positive and negative SM experiences and global positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA), as well as specific affective states of PA and NA. Adolescents (N = 62; 14-17 years old) were recruited from SM platforms to participate in an eight-week ecological momentary assessment study. Participants reported three times per day on PA and NA and positive and negative SM experiences. Random intercept and random slope models were used to examine within-person associations between momentary positive and negative SM experiences and affect after controlling for between-person differences. At prompts when participants reported greater-than-usual positive SM experiences, they reported higher global PA and lower global NA. At prompts when participants reported greater than their average negative SM experiences, they endorsed lower global PA and higher global NA. These results were consistent across same-valence specific affective states. The current study highlights proximal associations between SM experiences and affect, highlighting potential avenues of short-term risk and protection.

A Comprehensive Bibliometrics Analysis and Service Model for Academic Libraries: Collaboration, Training, and Evidence-Based Decision-Making
Authors: Xiao SiZhe , Qiu Vivian
Published: March 2024

Academic libraries have undergone significant transformations in recent years, expanding their service scope to include bibliometrics metrics and research impact services. In this article, we propose a comprehensive bibliometrics analysis and service model for academic libraries by conducting an extensive review of past studies and current international practices. The study aims to address three research questions: (1) What are the bibliometrics services practices offered by academic libraries around the world? (2) How do academic libraries and other units collaborate in offering bibliometrics services? (3) What model can be concluded from above for establishing or improving bibliometrics services in academic libraries with collaboration? The article begins with a literature review, followed by a methodology section detailing the search strategies and review process. The findings reveal the coverage, usage, and limitations of existing service models. Based on these findings, a recommended service model is proposed, addressing challenges and driving forces in its implementation. The recommended model includes a collaborative approach between academic libraries and other units, such as research offices and IT departments, to provide comprehensive bibliometrics services. The model also emphasizes the importance of training and support for librarians and researchers to effectively use bibliometrics tools and metrics to help academic libraries establish or improve their bibliometrics services, providing valuable insights into the impact of research and facilitating evidence-based decision-making. Collaboration between academic libraries and other internal and external stakeholders is crucial for the success of bibliometrics services, and ongoing training and support are essential to ensure that librarians and researchers can effectively use bibliometrics tools and metrics. Future research can further explore the effectiveness of the proposed model and identify areas for improvement.

Published: March 2024

The school represents one of the primary developmental contexts for children. Therefore, teachers are in a privileged position to enable their well-being, satisfaction and integration in school. Regarding adopted children, the teacher’s role becomes even more crucial in overcoming the specific challenges they may encounter in the school context due to their past adversity. Thus, it is fundamental for teachers to be well informed about adoption in order to sensibly attend to adopted children’s needs and support their academic achievement, social integration and individual development. The present study aims to address the research gap in teachers’ adoption awareness by exploring their knowledge about adoption and their usage of specific procedures when there are adopted children in their classrooms. Five hundred and thirty-seven elementary teachers participated in this study, of which 42.7% had had an adopted child as a student. Data were collected using the Scale of Ideas about Adoption and Adopted Children – Teachers’ version (EIACA-T). The results showed a lack of knowledge on behalf of the teachers about adoption, including legal and procedural issues. Teachers reported low usage of specific procedures when they had adopted children in their classrooms. These findings highlight the urgent need to provide teachers with comprehensive and evidence-based education about adoption and all it implies. This investment in teachers’ training will, in turn, improve their sensibility and ability to attend better to adopted children’s and their families’ needs.

Published: March 2024

Road map pengembangan industri rumput laut nasional yang selesai pada tahun 2021 menargetkan bahwa 50% produk ekspor rumput laut dijual dalam bentuk produk jadi bernilai tambah sedang dan tinggi. Namun hal ini masih jauh dari target. Pada tahun 2019, total 94% ekspor rumput laut masih didominasi oleh bahan mentah rumput laut kering. Hal ini tentu menjadi perhatian dan kajian bagaimana untuk meningkatkan produk industri hilir rumput laut. Provinsi Kepulauan Riau (Kepri) yang merupakan penghasil rumput laut terbesar di Pulau Sumatera memiliki peluang untuk dijadikan lokasi pengembangan industri hilir rumput laut. Hal ini juga didukung oleh kondisi geografis Kepulauan Riau yang langsung berbatasan dengan Negara Singapura dan Malaysia serta memiliki kawasan perdagangan bebas yang menjadi daya tarik investor untuk berinvestasi di provinsi ini. Melalui kajian ini dijelaskan bagaimana kondisi budidaya rumput laut, kondisi industri hilir rumput laut, potensi dan kendala investasi industri hilir, serta rekomendasi strategi yang bisa dilakukan untuk menjadikan Provinsi Kepri sebagai sentra industri hilir rumput laut, khususnya di Pulau Sumatera. Saat ini kondisi luas area dan petani rumput laut didominasi ada Kota Batam. Provinsi Kepri hanya memiliki satu industri maju yang mengolah rumput laut menjadi ekstrak minuman kesehatan kolagen, selebihnya usaha rumput laut dijalankan oleh IKM yang mengolah dengan nilai tambah rendah. Hasil rekomendasi strategi yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengembangkan industri hilir rumput laut di Provinsi Kepri adalah memaksimalkan free trade zone, mengembangkan produk turunan rumput laut, serta mulai membentuk klaster industri produk olahan rumput laut untuk memberikan nilai tambah yang lebih tinggi.

Published: March 2024

While the importance of biological control for crop production is widely recognized, research on how farmers view predatory insects in eradicating pests on agricultural land is still rare. Although there is much ecological research on predatory beetles as part of biological control, little social research has been conducted on the critical level of understanding of biological control and the organisms involved. This research examines farmers' understanding of using predatory beetles as a biological control concept on agricultural land in Gunung Batu Village, East OKU Regency. Therefore, this research aims to see how farmers' skills are in managing integrated pest control using predatory Coleoptera beetles in managing rice cultivation. The research results show that farmers still use predatory beetles as part of controlling pest populations on agricultural land. Farmers consider predatory beetles to prevent pest outbreaks that can harm quality rice production. So, farmers can build a network of farmers so they can learn from each other and share local knowledge. Apart from that, the results obtained from integrated pest control, farmers can experience positive results and can positively influence farmers' perceptions of natural enemies of agricultural pests. Keywords: Agricultural pests, Coleoptera beetles, biological control, predators

Published: March 2024

Saat ini, partisipasi perempuan dalam pekerjaan semakin meningkat. Namun, perlakuan yang adil belum menyertai peningkatan ini, sehingga tindakan diskriminasi masih biasa. Salah satu dampaknya adalah munculnya niat untuk pergi. Di mana penampilan niat tergantung pada komitmen terhadap organisasi, studi ini memeriksa peran komitmen organisasi sebagai mediator dalam perlakuan diskriminatif di tempat kerja untuk meninggalkan karyawan perempuan. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan survei kuantitatif dengan 76 responden yang diperoleh melalui sampel bola salju. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan proses Hayes model 4. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa komitmen organisasi dapat memediasi hubungan antara perlakuan diskriminatif di tempat kerja dan niat untuk pergi (β = -0.1527; CI = -0.31, -0.04). Dimensi komitmen organisasi yang dapat bertindak sebagai mediator adalah komitmen afektif (β = -0.1288; CI = -0.27, -0.01) dan komitmen normatif (β / -0.1783; CI / -0.35, -0.05). Dengan demikian, disimpulkan bahwa komitmen organisasi dapat mencegah munculnya niat untuk meninggalkan, meskipun mereka tunduk pada perlakuan diskriminatif.

Authors: Jaiswal Saurabh , Soni Nishi , Sirohi Bhavaya Pratap , Kumar Sudhir , Malik Shalie , Rani Sangeeta
Published: March 2024

Background: Addiction to smartphone usage is a common problem among adults worldwide. Smartphones are popular devices capable of processing more information than other phones. During COVID-19, a situation of “forced social isolation” was created which increased the use of smartphones. We conducted this study with the hypothesis that the period of social isolation may enhance depression and it may be related to the excessive use of smartphones among the population.

Objective: The purpose of this work is to investigate the impact of social isolation on smartphone addiction and depression.

Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 191 individuals (44.50% male) with a mean age of (23.79 ±3.91) years. The participants completed the questionnaire via online Google forms to access their smartphone use, depression and chronotype.

Result: Smartphone use and depression significantly increase during social isolation (p<0.001). Smartphone addiction was found positively correlated with depression (r = 0.324, p < 0.01) and was maintained during social isolation conditions as well (r = 0.434, p <0.01). There was no direct effect of gender on smartphone addiction during lockdown (β= -0.059, t= -0.887, p= <0.001).

Conclusions: The Smartphone addiction is positively correlated with depression and the social isolation induced the smartphone dependency may lead to depression in the Indian population. This study expanded the literature to include smartphone overuse and depression in the Indian population.

BOOK REVIEW: Sri Lanka's Easter Sunday Massacre: Lessons for International Community by Rohan Gunaratna
Authors: Mohamed Zacky Mohamed Fouz
Published: March 2024

Rohan Gunaratna's recent publication titled Sri Lanka’s Easter Sunday Massacre: Lessons for International Community tries to explore the “Easter Attack massacre” and its root causes in Sri Lanka. The work would indeed become one of the main references for those interested in exploring the sources and roots of the Easter Attack. Although the Easter Sunday massacre was a watershed event in Sri Lankan history as well as the ‘September 11’ of Sri Lankan Muslims, there has been a lack of detailed analysis on the subject thus far. In this sense, Gunaratna's work could be seen as the first detailed study of the tragedy, elaborating on the background of the bombers, their preparations, and the execution. In the aftermath of the attack, there has been a serious public debate on the nature of tragedy and its root causes. Participating in this debate, Imthiyaz Razak argued that the Easter attacks were a by-product of both “violence against Muslims since 2012”, unleashed by the Sinhala-Buddhist extremists and cultural exclusivism of Muslims, enabled by the political bargaining between the majoritarian state and minority political elites. For his part, Rajan Hoole argued in his work Sri Lanka's Easter Tragedy that the Easter Attack was the result of the entrenched phenomenon of the deep state that tries to manipulate religious extremists for their political ends. For him, the Easter Attack was more political than ideological. However, Gunaratna stressed the point that the Easter Attack directly resulted from the religious radicalization of a segment of the Muslim community in Sri Lanka, who embraced the Salafi-Wahhabism ideology of political Islam. The book elaborates this argument through a lengthy introduction and subsequent four chapters.
Facebook, X e Instagram: más allá de lo gratis. El verdadero costo de las redes sociales
Authors:   Universidad de Extremadura, Vázquez-Atochero Alfonso
Published: March 2024

In this analysis, we draw upon the thoughts of Debord, Baudrillard, and McLuhan to unravel how the screen's evolution from a mere medium to a complex digital ecosystem has succeeded in capturing, and potentially subjugating, user attention. This dynamic enables the titans of the information society to profile users with precision, using this information for the calculated distribution of advertising, thereby manufacturing previously non-existent needs. At first glance, this might be interpreted as the natural evolution of advertising into the digital realm. However, it becomes problematic when digital platforms, from a position of authority, knowingly promote advertising that could be deemed unethical, including the use of public figures in deceptive campaigns. When these tactics are exposed, the corporate response is often one of indifference. This scenario invites reflection on the underlying interests of these practices and the ethics of market strategies in the digital sphere, raising critical questions about responsibility and morality in the information age. In our case study, we will focus on social network X, although this practice can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.
Platon'un Şair İle Husumeti Bağlamında Lord Byron Analizi
Authors: YİĞİT Dilek , KARAKOÇ DORA Zuhal
Published: March 2024

ÖZ

Şiir ve şair üzerinden siyaset-edebiyat ilişkisinin Platon’un perspektifinden ele alındığı ve Platon’un şairle olan ilişkisinin Lord Byron analiziyle anlaşılmaya çalışıldığı bu makale, Platon’un filozof ile şair arasına düşmanlık yerleştirdiği fikrinden hareket etmektedir. Siyasetin filozofların işi olduğunu ifade eden Platon şairin siyasete karışmaması gerektiği yönündeki düşüncesini duyguların kanunların yerini alamayacağı teziyle pekiştirmektedir. Diğer taraftan şair ve şiirin Antik Yunan kültürünün önemli bir parçası olması dolayısıyla, Platon’un şaire yönelik eleştirilerinin aslında kendi kültürüne yönelik zımni eleştirileri olduğu da varsayılabileceği makalede tartışılmış ve Platon’un Yasalar’daki isyanında karşımıza çıkan siyasi eleştirilerinin bile şairlere yönelik eleştirileriyle örtüştüğüne dikkat çekilmiştir. Makalede son olarak Platon’un şair ile kişisel husumeti bulunmadığı fakat mevcut husumetinin kaynağının şairin kişiliği değil, sanatının toplum ve siyaset üzerinde kontrol edilemeyen etkileri olduğu; Platon’un bahsettiği ve husumeti olan şairin Platon’un dönemine ait olmayan, Platon’un tanımadığı ve bilmediği, toplumsal ve siyasi meselelerin edebiyata konu olabileceğini gösteren, adeta siyaset ve edebiyatı harmanlayan, ayrıca duygu ve hayalleri ön plana çıkaran Romantizm akımının temsilcisi olan 19. yüzyıl şairlerinden Lord Byron’a işaret ettiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Teatro San Cassiano in Opera History
Authors: Chekan Yurii
Published: March 2024

The study is devoted to the first publicly accessible opera house Teatro San Cassiano (Venice, 1637), the establishment of which became a cardinal factor in the transformation of opera from aristocratic court entertainment to creative industry. The author considers the issues related to the history of the theater’s construction and the actions of its owners, the Venetian nobles, the Tron brothers, aimed at turning opera into a profitable business. The article reveals possible prototypes and reasons for the constructive solutions in the theater, in particular the boxes and the U-shaped audience hall. The author gives the parametric characteristics of the components of the Teatro San Cassiano building — the stage, the audience hall, and the boxes. It is noted that the tiered Theatro San Cassiano became a prototype for other theatres not only in Venice, but also in other cities of Italy and Europe. Thus, among the Venetian theaters of the 17th century, the public theaters, such as SS Giovanni e Paolo (1638), Novissimo (1640), San Moise (1640), and San Giovanni Crisostomo (1678), were inspired by San Cassiano; outside Venice there were Teatro Falcone (Genoa, 1652) and Teatro Tordinona (Rome, 1671). The article emphasizes market competition that was one of the key factors in the dynamic spread of opera and the formation of opera infrastructure in Europe. After the establishment of San Cassiano, the development of opera acquired a clearly defined vector: from elitist entertainment to creative industry.
On digital technologies as a scientific problemping professional culture of future technical specialists
Authors: Zhmurko Oleksii
Published: March 2024

The article examines the current problem of forming a safety culture of future specialists in digital technologies studying in technical institutions of higher education. An analysis of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the study was carried out, in particular the terms: computer literacy, cyber literacy, Internet literacy, electronic literacy, information literacy, digital literacy, cyber safety. The latter term has been used by Western scholars who consider it in the context of the use of digital technologies and computers. Therefore, they understand cyber security as the formation of safe behavior in the online environment, based on the responsible use of the Internet and mobile technologies, as well as implemented measures that counteract possible risks. The use of the concept of digital literacy is proposed, as it includes not only the ability to use computer technologies, but also the ability to analyze information in the online environment, taking into account social, cultural, political and educational aspects in one's professional activity.

The results obtained as a result of the analysis of psychological-pedagogical and methodical literature on the problem of forming a culture of safety in professional activity indicate that, despite certain achievements, this direction has not received conceptual clarity. Currently, even the term "safety culture of professional activity" does not have a scientifically based definition. Theoretical searches indicate the need to clarify its content and structure. In particular, for digital professionals, understanding and implementing a security culture becomes an integral part of their professional development. This involves not only technical skills, but also a deep understanding and internal adaptation of values and approaches that contribute to ensuring cyber security in the modern digital environment on the one hand, and on the other hand - compliance with the requirements for the organization of work in the process of professional activity.
Interaction of Structural Elements in the Overhead Transmission Power Line
Authors: SENKIN N.A. , FILIMONOV A.S.
Published: March 2024

The analysis of the changes of tensile forces in conductors and earth wires is performed during their breakage and impact on the towers of overhead power line with a voltage of 330 kV. Based on the results, a mathematical model of a unified cable-stayed rod system consisting of steel towers, conductors and earth wires and insulating elements has been compiled. The system of equations of the model is solved iteratively using the MS Excel spreadsheet processor for various breakage cases. The dependences of tensile forces in conductors and earth wires during their breakage are presented, as well as the forces which correspond to an acting regime on towers in a linear circuit, taking into account the supporting effect of neighboring towers.
People's Perceptions of the Impact of Climate Change and the Effect of a Community Development Project in Nigeria
Authors: Adodo Anselm , Imoudu Monica
Published: March 2024

This research aims to explore the impacts of climate change on communities in low-income countries. A review of the literature on this important and pressing global topic is presented. Since this issue is multidimensional and complex, we try to approach it comprehensively. The social quality scientific perspective has specific affinity with traditional African “holistic thinking.” The empirical part of our research concerns a study in northern Nigeria on rural residents’ perceptions of various aspects of environmental changes caused by climate change, and the impacts on the social quality of their daily lives. The protective effects of a community development project (the National Climate Change Policy Response, NCCPR) are also explored. Farmers appear to be the most vulnerable group. Climate change significantly compromises their socioeconomic security, personal security, well-being, and health. We conclude that communities in low-income countries will continue to suffer disproportionally from various kinds of climate-caused disasters. Community development projects have the potential to decrease their vulnerabilities. This article justifies a strong normative plea to the countries that have caused the human misery depicted to take responsibility by contributing to restoration payments and enforcing sustainable behavior of CO2-emitting industries.
The Okjökull Memorial and Geohuman Relations
Authors: Howe Cymene , Boyer Dominic
Published: March 2024

Focusing on the life and death of Okjökull, the first of Iceland's major glaciers to disappear because of anthropogenic climate change, this article discusses the complex relationships between cryospheres and human communities in Iceland. It asks how distinctions between non-living entities and living beings can offer insights to anthropology, and transdisciplinarily, as a model for recognising mutual precarities between the living and non-living world in the face of anthropogenic climate change. Detailing the authors’ ethnographic encounters with Ok mountain and Okjökull (glacier), the authors argue that by attending to non-living forms, and by registering their ‘passing’ or loss, we are able to document and better comprehend threshold events in the larger life of the planet.

En se concentrant sur la vie et la mort d'Okjökull, le premier des principaux glaciers islandais à disparaître en raison des changements climatiques anthropogéniques, cet article discute les relations complexes entre la cryosphère et les communautés humaines en Islande. Il questionne la manière dont les distinctions entre entités non vivantes et êtres vivants peuvent offrir des perspectives à l'anthropologie et la transdisciplinarité en tant que modèle pour reconnaitre des précarités mutuelles entre monde vivant et non vivant en face du changement climatique anthropogénique. En détaillant la rencontre ethnographique entre les auteurs, la montagne Ok et l'Okjökull (le glacier), les auteurs défendent l'idée qu'en prenant acte des formes non vivantes et en marquant leur « disparition » ou leur perte, nous sommes en mesure de documenter et de mieux comprendre les événements de bascule dans la vie de notre planète.

Authors:   The Myanmar Coordination Initiative of Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (MCERP), Ebead Nathalie
Published: March 2024

According to a 2019 survey, 12.8 per cent of Myanmar’s 54.38 million population (an estimated 5.9 million people) live with disabilities. In a survey conducted for the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) in 2022 for Myanmar, PWD were identified as the most marginalized segment of the population. Since the coup, PWD are among the most adversely affected since the 2021 coup, experiencing a loss of rights and education, compromised health, and diminished livelihoods. This Policy Brief explores inclusion strategies for persons with disabilities (PWD) in post-coup Myanmar in the light of the ongoing transitional constitutional and democratic reform process. It highlights the challenges faced by PWD before and since the 2021 coup, including those of Myanmar’s interim government institutions in supporting PWD. It analyses how inclusive Myanmar’s interim government institutions are for PWD, and what the Federal Democracy Charter (FDC) states about including PWD in consideration of the international legal framework for PWD.

Examining the anti-corruption movement in Indonesia, this paper will give a review of the topic. The primary goal of this analysis is to discover whether or not e-government and social media can serve as an efficient weapon in the fight against corruption in Indonesian village budgets. This research evaluates corruption from several behavioral angles. To evaluate the efficacy of social media and e-government in combating corruption in Indonesia's village funds, researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review and normative juridical analysis using a conceptual approach. The study demonstrates that ICT's rapid expansion and improvement in Indonesia has had far-reaching consequences. The participants share and discuss corruption-related news and information. Because traditional punishment-oriented tactics have not been effective in eradicating corruption in Indonesia, incorporating technology into future efforts to do so might boost the likelihood of success.

One of the problems in providing infrastructure is the lack of interest in managing infrastructure. AWS Lambda is a FaaS (Function as a Service) service that allows users to run code automatically in an environment managed by Amazon Web Services. In this study, the method used is to collect data on code execution time at various input sizes, then perform an analysis of the factors that affect execution time. Furthermore, optimization is carried out by selecting the appropriate memory size and proper coding techniques to improve performance. The results show that optimizing memory size and coding can improve code execution time performance by up to 30%, depending on the type of service used. This can help AWS Lambda users improve code performance and save on operational costs.
Comparing neural network with linear Regression for stock market prediction

There are both gains and losses possible in stock market investing. Brokerage firms' stock investments carry a higher risk of loss since their stock prices are not being tracked or analyzed, which might be problematic for businesses seeking investors or individuals. Thanks to progress in information and communication technologies, investors may now easily collect and analyze stock market data to determine whether to buy or sell. Implementing machine learning algorithms in data mining to obtain information close to the truth from the desired objective will make it easier for an individual or group of investors to make stock trades. In this study, we test hypotheses on the performance of a financial services firm's stock using various machine learning and regression techniques. The relative error for the neural network method is only 0.72 percentage points, while it is 0.78 percentage points for the Linear Regression. More training cycles must be applied to the Algortima neural network to achieve more accurate results.

The use of digital marketing is not only specifically for business processes but can also be utilized in the tourism sector. Tourist information, especially tourist villages, can be easily searched via the internet and social media. There is no need to use conventional promotional media, print brochures or advertisements in the mass media, which will cost a lot, especially for tourism village managers. Virtual tour is an example of digital promotional media that is currently developing because it can display real tourist destinations without having to come to the location in person. However, virtual tours only display static images or videos and do not interact with users or tourists other than information, this causes the virtual tour to not have a significant effect on tourist interest to visit in person. There is a need for further development of virtual tours to make it more attractive to tourists to visit, one way is by combining it with other technologies, namely gamification. This research develops a gamification application on a virtual tour for Cau Belayu Tabanan Tourism Village. By applying gamification to the virtual tourist village tour, it is hoped that tourists will be able to experience a more enjoyable and significant impact on tourist interest in visiting the Cau Belayu Tabanan tourist village directly. The research method used refers to the MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle). The research method consists of the stages of concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing and distribution. The results of this study are in the form of a gamification application in the virtual tour of the Cau Belayu Tabanan Tourism Village which has the main features, namely games, gamescores and game finishes.
КЛАСИФІКАЦІЯ МАТЕМАТИЧНИХ МОДЕЛЕЙ ДИНАМІКИ МАКРОЕКОНОНОМІЧНИХ СИСТЕМ
Authors: МАНТАЛЮК Ольга
Published: March 2024

Складність сучасних економічних систем, нелінійність процесів, які в них відбуваються, невизначеність зовнішніх умов функціонування потребують застосування до вивчення цих систем такого методологічного апарату, який дозволив би адекватно відображати об’єкт дослідження, робити вірогідний прогноз його розвитку й давати необхідну інформацію для прийняття ефективних рішень щодо управління цим об'єктом. Саме таким інструментом є теорія нелінійної динаміки. У статті запропонована класифікація моделей нелінійної динаміки у застосуванні до макроекономічних систем. На думку автора, розроблена класифікація дозволить зменшити розмірність множини варіантів вибору математичних моделей і методів для опису складної відкритої динамічної економічної системи й може бути корисною при розробці заходів макроекономічної політики.
