Published: April 2022

This article examines the issues of competition and competitiveness of international companies. Competition, both nationally and internationally, is a fundamental principle of a market economy. In a competitive environment, by optimizing production resources, companies improve existing goods and services and create new ones, helping to maximize the realization of their economic potential. Competitiveness is a general indicator that shows the level of stability of the company to the challenges of internal and external environment. It was determined that in the context of globalization and transnationalization of the world economy, there are more and more powerful international companies, including multinational corporations, which have a significant impact on the development of the world economy. We analyzed the activities and characteristics of some of the largest multinational companies in the world. This powerful group plays a special role in the economy of each country and the world as a whole. A significant part of the attracted investments and export-import operations of many countries depends mainly on the activities of large international companies. These companies in their activities effectively combine centralized management with a certain degree of independence of their subsidiaries. They grow incredibly fast, increasing investment in their production capacity, diversifying the scope of activities, and covering more and more countries. These companies integrate their production, capital within global and effective business strategies. Competition bolsters the productivity and international competitiveness of the business sector and promotes dynamic markets and economic growth. The competitiveness of an international company means an effective foreign direct investment strategy, productivity and organization of work of all subjects which are a part of its structure, cost optimization and high product quality, ability to adapt and react quickly to market changes, mobility, modern methods of management and marketing. Due to the intensification of international competition, each company implements a set of measures aimed at overcoming the negative effects of competition and achieving the required level of competitiveness in the international market.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE NEED AND POSSIBILITIES OF IMPROVING THE ACCOUNTING BALANCE
Authors:   State Agrarian University in Poltava, Ponomarenko Oksana
Published: April 2022

The form and procedural approaches to balance generation are quite strictly regulated at the regulatory level, therefore, full-fledged scientific studies substantiate the need and opportunities for improving the balance remain unaccounted for and relevant. The article analyzes the dynamics of changes in the structure and nomenclature of balance articles and identifies a number of trends that negatively affect its informational and analytical potential to meet the needs of interested users. The historical retrospective of scientific ideas about balance as a form of reporting and an element of accounting method is presented. Critical feature analysis for classification of balances by types is carried out. The problems of folding balance articles are actualized; placement of articles in sections; influence of the list of articles on the possibility of full financial analysis of property status, liquidity, business activity. Suggestions for optimization of balance sheets are given: introduction of specific additional articles or reduction of the list of existing ones. These proposals take into account the risks of reliability of reporting, since the application of a balance sheet policy is a conscious influence on the form and content of balances to underestimate the size of profit (accelerated depreciation, etc.), in order to underestimate the amounts of tax bases and proper payments of dividends to shareholders. Taking into account the measure of regulatory regulation of balance sheet content, additional lines and indicators are offered to improve the quality of it as an information support for the adoption of effective management decisions by users of reporting. For example, to ensure compliance with the economic interests of depositors and business entities, it is advisable to include new written lines that will inform about the directions of profit use and in particular about the amounts aimed at dividends payment.

Authors:   State Tax University, Riabchuk Oksana , Tverdun Serhii ,   State Tax University
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the study of forensics as a tool to counteract economic crime and financial fraud in the enterprise. Entrepreneurial activity is always associated with various types of risks that interfere its effectiveness, or may even threaten the continued existence of the business. Therefore, enterprises always need to improve existing forms and methods of doing business that will reduce risks and increase efficiency. Thats why, there is a need for new types of control that could not only counteract all kinds of violations, but also prevent threats and identify problems before they occur. Such type of control can be forensic. The article examines the essence of the concept of "forensic", its origin, application and interpretation by Ukrainian and foreign scholars. It is concluded that there is no consensus when this term was first used. Forensic is a service for the investigation of financial fraud and economic crimes in the enterprise, in order to detect, help eliminate and prevent them in the future. There are opinions that forensics is identified with already known forms of control. The authors of the article made a comparative analysis of the main features of forensics, auditing, inspection and economic expertise. Was concluded that forensics is a separate concept from other forms of control and has its own practical form of application. Although in some ways they may be similar, but have a number of features that separate them from each other. Forensic is not only working with a specific problem, but it also identifies various risks and developes a set of preventive measures. Based on the study of the report of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners on crimes in the field of entrepreneurial activity, including ways to detect crimes in enterprises and ways to prevent fraud, as well as the analysis of the number of criminal offenses committed in enterprises of Ukraine, concluded that forensics can be a reliable tool to prevent fraud and economic crime with a full understanding of its methodology and effective implementation. Forensic experts can help organize internal control, improve the communication system between management and employees, analyze weaknesses and develop an individual system of counteracting fraud and bribery. Forensic services are mostly provided by audit companies. Thus, forensic is a promising service in the field of investigating complex economic situations and has every chance to become a new powerful tool of counteracting economic crimes.

The modern world has already taken the first step towards a fundamentally new technological, economic and social reality. However, the challenges facing modern industrial society are difficult to overestimate. We are talking about a change in the global socio-technological structure, which results in a complete reformatting of our usual systems, the formation of new social and economic strategies. At the same time, the technological paradigm is changing, management models and social norms are changing, and large-scale demographic changes are taking place. However, the problem is not that the transition to a new model of society is in principle. The problem is that this transition is happening at a very fast pace – not in millennia, as agrarian, not in a century, as an industrial way, but in just a few decades. The current stage of world economic and social development is characterized by a significant impact on digitalization. As a new trend of world social development, which has replaced informatization and computerization, it is characterized by the following – based on digital representation of information, which in the scale of economic and social life of individual countries and the world leads to economic efficiency and quality life. In recent decades, one of the main trends in the economy and society as a whole is the penetration of information technology in various fields of human activity. Informatization is becoming such an important factor in increasing productivity and improving the quality of life that the changes that are taking place are seen by researchers as the beginning of a new era of economic development, which in the literature is characterized by the term «digital or information economy». Today, the development of informatization is primarily related to the introduction of digital communication technologies and platforms for which the Internet and mobile devices are the basis. Sectors of the economy based on information and communication technologies have been called the «digital economy». The article defines the state policy of income and social transfers. The paper presents an analysis of the impact of digitalization on household incomes.

THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kot Liudmyla
Published: April 2022

The article examines the nature of social entrepreneurship as one of the key factors in the development of the national economy. It is noted that the foundation of social entrepreneurship is the concept of "entrepreneurship", in other words, the initiative autonomous activity of people, the purpose of which is to make a profit or personal income, implemented personally, under their own property responsibility or under the responsibility of a legal entity. It is noted that the mission of organizations engaged in social entrepreneurship is related to solving a certain social problem, and financial stability is an important component needed to achieve a social effect and long – term existence. Based on the position of social entrepreneurship (between entrepreneurship and charity), the criteria inherent in social entrepreneurship as a macroeconomic phenomenon are defined: social mission; entrepreneurial approach; innovation; replication; self-sufficiency and financial stability. The leading stakeholders of social entrepreneurship, which occupy one of the main places in its formation and institutionalization in the world, have been identified. It is noted that the real volumes of social entrepreneurship in macroeconomics cannot be calculated, and not only due to the existence of a huge number of organizational forms and types of activities that can be attributed to social entrepreneurship, but also due to certain differences in understanding this phenomenon in different states. The ratio of social and commercial entrepreneurship as two macroeconomic categories is determined. It is proved that for a social entrepreneur, the social result will not be a side result of activity, but the main one, which corresponds to the mission and goals of the organization, which depend on the solution of a certain social task. It is concluded that social entrepreneurship will be much more successful than commercial entrepreneurship where you can see serious positive achievements. The differences between social entrepreneurship and business in the social sphere are clarified. It is noted that the mission of organizations engaged in social entrepreneurship and providing relevant services takes place in parallel with the solution of a certain social task, and financial stability is a prerequisite for obtaining a social effect and future existence. It is proved that social entrepreneurship is an innovative activity, primarily aimed at solving or somewhat mitigating social problems of society on the basis of self – sufficiency and sustainability, which has the ability to solve problems of externalities associated with the unwillingness or inability of people to pay for goods and services. It is determined that the essence of social entrepreneurship in the national economy is to increase overall economic efficiency due to the introduction into economic circulation of those resources and methods that were not previously used in this way.

Maternal and perinatal mortality rates in Indonesia are still quite high. One of the health services that is non-conventional and can provide benefits in the delivery process is prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga is a combination of movements between the regulation of breath, mind and movement in a single unit. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between parity and the participation of pregnant women in the third trimester in participating in pregnancy exercise. The research design used was cross sectional with simple random sampling method. The number of respondents who follow prenatal yoga as many as 30 respondents. The research data was taken by giving a questionnaire which was then observed. Furthermore, data tabulation was carried out and tested with Chi Square. The results of the study obtained that most of the pregnant women who took part in prenatal yoga were 20 respondents (40%). The results of the chisqure rang test have a significance level of age p value = 0.001, parity p value = 0.026 and work p value = 0.012 with p value = 0.05 then H1 is accepted meaning that there is a significant relationship between the factors analyzed in the participation of prenatal yoga . In conclusion, H1 is accepted, which means that there is a relationship between age, parity and occupation with the participation of pregnant women in the third trimester in participating in prenatal yoga. It is hoped that health workers will further improve the provision of health education about non-conventional medicine so that mothers who will give birth will be better prepared physically and psychologically.

Speeding Up Fermat’s Factoring Method using Precomputation
Authors: Bahig Hatem M.
Published: April 2022

The security of many public-key cryptosystems and protocols relies on the difficulty of factoring a large positive integer n into prime factors. The Fermat factoring method is a core of some modern and important factorization methods, such as the quadratic sieve and number field sieve methods. It factors a composite integer n=pq in polynomial time if the difference between the prime factors is equal to ∆=p-q≤n^(0.25) , where p>q. The execution time of the Fermat factoring method increases rapidly as ∆ increases. One of the improvements to the Fermat factoring method is based on studying the possible values of (n mod 20). In this paper, we introduce an efficient algorithm to factorize a large integer based on the possible values of (n mod 20) and a precomputation strategy. The experimental results, on different sizes of n and ∆, demonstrate that our proposed algorithm is faster than the previous improvements of the Fermat factoring method by at least 48%.

Published: April 2022

Mental soundness is a condition of well-being wherein a person understands his/her potential, participates in his or her community and is able to deal effectively with the challenges and obstacles of everyday life. It circumscribes how an individual thinks, feels and responds to any circumstances. Mental strain is generally recognised as a social concern, potentially leading to a functional impairment at work. Chronic stress may also be linked with several physiological illnesses. The purpose of this research stands to examine existing research analysis of mental healthiness outcomes where diverse Deep Learning (DL) and Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been applied. Applying our exclusion and inclusion criteria, 52 articles were finally selected from the search results obtained from various research databases and repositories. This literatures on ML and mental health outcomes show an insight into the avant-garde techniques developed and employed in this domain. The review also compares and contrasts amongst various deep learning techniques for predicting a person's state of mind based on different types of data such as social media data, clinical data, etc. Finally, the open issues and future challenges of utilising Deep learning algorithms to better understand as well as diagnose mental state of any individual were discussed. From the literature survey, this is evident that the use of ML and DL in mental health has yielded significant attainment mostly in the areas of diagnosis, therapy, support, research and clinical governance.

Authors: Golovin Dmytro
Published: April 2022

Background: This article is prompted by the increasing levels of crime in the sphere of illicit
trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues, or precursors using
information and telecommunication systems. The aim of the article is a comprehensive
analysis of the problem of the use of electronic evidence in proving crimes of trafficking in
these substances.

Methods: A number of methods were used in this article, namely: theoretical analysis – the
study and analysis of official documentation, scientific, methodological, and educational
literature, summarising information to determine the theoretical and methodological
foundations of the study; logical analysis – to formulate basic concepts and classification;
concrete-historical analysis – to demonstrate the dynamics of development of the use of
electronic evidence in criminal proceedings; the dialectical method – to reveal the meaning
of concepts of ‘electronic evidence’. The judicial practice of the Supreme Court of Ukraine
regarding the recognition of electronic proof as appropriate evidence in cases is disclosed.
The definition of electronic proof in the Ukrainian legal system, as well as the forms and
features of electronic proof, are also considered.
Results and Conclusions: It is established that the main causes of drug trafficking crimes
include insufficient legal regulation of cyberspace, the lack of geographical boundaries, the
spread of information about drugs on the Internet, especially on the Darknet, and the
uncontrolled development of the cryptocurrency market.

Education is a learning process for students to develop their potential skills. One of the vocational schools is the State Vocational High School (SMK) 05 Bekasi, that educates students to have high expertise in industrial fields. However, not every student can choose the right major, there are students who choose majors based on the wishes of their parents, and do not know their real potential and abilities, so that the abilities of students are not in accordance with the majors they have chosen. One way that can be used to help choose the right major is to take a preference test that is assessed by a psychologist or the Counseling Guidance section. This method is quite effective, but it takes time especially for large numbers of student. Therefore, the researcher created a website-based recommendation system to identify majors using the Forward Chaining method. The purpose of the research is to make a recommendation system to determine the majors that students will choose. The application are developed using the System Development Life Cycle.

With the increasing application of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in rigid pavements, the paving industry is now keen to construct thin FRC concrete pavements directly on the granular base layer for low volume roads. In order to understand the feasibility of such thin FRC pavements and to understand the structural responses and distress patterns, experimental test sections were built at the Minnesota Road Research facility (MnROAD) during the summer and fall of 2017. Six different cells were constructed varying in slab thickness, fiber dosage, and base layer thickness. All six of the cells were equipped with various sensors for measuring temperature gradient, dynamic and environmental load responses, as well as joint movement. Periodical distress surveys were conducted to quantify distresses. The joint performance was tested and analyzed for different seasons. The structural responses and distress patterns observed during the first year of the evaluation are presented in this paper. The early age contribution of synthetic structural fibers in reducing joint faulting, fatigue cracking and spalling are assessed based on the comparative performance of the test cells.
Impacts Of Flooding On Concrete Pavement

With shifting paradigms in usual climatic events and increased occurrence of flood hazards, vulnerability assessment and adaptation of road infrastructure is essential. Road pavements are critical in sustaining socio-economic activities and their vulnerability to flood hazards could have serious cost consequences. Therefore, a conscientious decision to consider pavement materials, designs and alternatives that are resilient to recurring flood events is desired. Based on previous investigations into how pavements types, classes and configuration respond to extreme events, concrete pavements are reported as better flood-resilient systems in countries that have experienced intense flooding and inundation. Although Canada has experienced some of the worst flood incidences in history and owns a number of concrete pavement infrastructure, no study has been conducted to better understand its performance under extreme conditions. To provide insight on concrete pavement flood response, the use of the state of the art AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED) program is employed to model various flood scenarios on concrete pavement types and configurations common to two Canadian provinces, Ontario and Manitoba. The performance of the various pavement classes in terms of flood resilience, service life and cost feasibility is analyzed and results provide insight on the resilience and adaptive capacity of rigid pavements to flood hazards in Canada.
Prestressed Precast Concrete Pavement: A Case Study

Published: April 2022

One of the major problems with the construction of concrete pavement in India is obtaining the required quality. The quality of Cast-In-Place concrete pavement is difficult to maintain due to the site conditions. To address this issue, a 500 m trial stretch of Prestressed Precast Concrete Pavement (PPCP) is developed in Inner Ring Road, Nagpur. The design of PPCP is performed by a simple spreadsheet considering the cumulative fatigue damage caused to the pavement over its design life. The spreadsheet includes the effect of temperature, prestress, axle loads, and modulus of subgrade reaction for calculating the thickness of the pavement and can be useful for professional designers. The size of the panels for the trial section is 2.625 m x 4 m and 3.5 m x 4 m. The panels are interconnected using a sliding slot dowel model and a top slot dowel model. The construction aspects and design revisions required to incorporate the site difficulties have been discussed in the paper.
