Published: October 2022

El chivirín saltapared (Troglodytes aedon) se distribuye en todo el Continente Americano y se clasifica dentro de cinco grupos de subespecies, uno de ellos es el grupo musculus, cuya distribución en México ha sido descrita desde el sureste de Veracruz y noreste de Oaxaca, a través del Golfo de México, hasta la Península de Yucatán. En esta investigación presentamos datos de observaciones que abarcan diez municipios de la región de las Altas Montañas del Estado de Veracruz y cubren el periodo de 2008 a 2014, aumentando con ello la distribución conocida de este grupo de subespecies en México. De acuerdo con sus características de plumaje y distribución, las aves que registramos pertenecen a la subespecie T. aedon intermedius. Las poblaciones de esta subespecie son residentes reproductivas en la región, ya que pudimos constatar su reproducción en cuatro de las localidades que monitoreamos. Observamos perturbación humana en los sitios de avistamientos, principalmente por actividades agrícolas, por lo que consideramos que la población y distribución de esta especie han aumentado al haberse asociado con sitios con estas características.
Estimating species richness and density of a bird community in a coastal lagoon on the Mexican Pacific
Authors: Ruiz Bruce Taylor Mateo D.M. , Bojorges Baños José Cruz
Published: October 2022

In this study we assess the bias in estimates of bird richness in a tropical wetland. We used 18 months of data from point counts to estimate the species richness in a coastal lagoon in Oaxaca and computed eight species richness estimators. We evaluated estimate inaccuracy using the sum of total richness that we obtained with combined sampling techniques between 2006 and 2010. We selected the richness estimator of minimum inaccuracy and used randomized species accumulation curves to investigate differences in species densities obtained with 10 and 20-minute counts. To ascertain if habitat type influenced richness estimates, we compared the bird diversity associated with contrasting mangrove and estuarine environments. The total richness for the lagoon was 185 species and the jackknife 2 richness estimator showed the minimum inaccuracy. The randomized accumulation curves of 10 and 20 minutes displayed partially overlapping confidence intervals and an increasing time lag between the count durations at equivalent densities. The rarefaction curves from contrasting habitat types showed significantly higher richness and species density in the estuary while the jackknife 2 estimator indicated similar sample coverage in both habitats. We identify important consequences of the sampling methodology that we used and conclude that point count sampling resulted in incomplete species detection but facilitated comparative analyses.
Estructuras artificiales para la anidación y su relación con el éxito reproductivo del gavilán pescador y del tecolote llanero durante ocho temporadas reproductivas en el estero La Pinta, Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, México
Authors: Luévano-Esparza Jaime , Delgadillo-Vásquez Ana María , Montes-Ontiveros Omar
Published: October 2022

La reproducción en aves puede estar limitada por la ausencia de sitios de anidación. En el estero La Pinta, Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, no existían registros de reproducción del gavilán pescador (Pandion haliaetus) ni del tecolote llanero (Athene cunicularia). Construimos siete nidos artificiales con cuatro estructuras metálicas en forma de sahuaro para el gavilán pescador y tres cajones de concreto de 60x60x60 cm para el tecolote; esto con el fin de promover su reproducción. Durante ocho temporadas, entre 2006 y 2013, realizamos observaciones desde puntos a 100 m de las estructuras artificiales. El gavilán pescador anidó en al menos una estructura artificial en siete de las ocho temporadas. Durante el estudio registramos 17 nidos con 55 huevos, de los cuales 53 llegaron a volantones en sahuaros artificiales y postes de tendido eléctrico. Una pareja de tecolote llanero anidó en 2006 en una estructura artificial con una nidada de seis huevos, y otra lo hizo en una oquedad natural con una nidada de siete huevos; cinco y seis pollos eclosionaron, respectivamente. Durante las cinco temporadas siguientes estuvieron ausentes en el área; regresaron en 2012 y registramos una pareja con cuatro huevos, todos eclosionaron. En 2013, observamos cinco parejas de tecolotes, cuatro anidando en oquedades naturales y una en una estructura artificial; tuvieron una nidada total de 24 huevos: eclosionaron 19 pollos. El promedio de huevos por pareja fue de 4.8 para esta especie. Las alternativas de los gavilanes pescadores para anidar en el área de estudio fueron los postes de tendido eléctrico y los sahuaros artificiales; en este estudio, anidaron preferentemente en los sahuaros artificiales. Los tecolotes llaneros tuvieron como alternativas las oquedades naturales y las artificiales; cinco de las ocho parejas registradas seleccionaron las naturales.
Primer registro de la gaviota sombría (Larus fuscus) en el estado de Veracruz, México: información sobre sus patrones de expansión en el Continente Americano
Authors: García-Domínguez José Arturo , Velarde Enriqueta
Published: October 2022

Reportamos el primer registro de la gaviota sombría (Larus fuscus) en el estado de Veracruz; se trata de una especie cuya distribución geográfica ha estado expandiéndose, de Europa occidental hacia Norteamérica, desde la primera mitad del siglo XX hasta la fecha. Anida de forma regular en por lo menos dos áreas en el suroeste de Groenlandia, en las que la población reproductiva se ha estimado en más de 700 parejas. Su expansión parece estar ocurriendo también hacia el sur, ya que comenzó a reproducirse en las Islas Canarias a partir de 1995. El primer evento reproductivo confirmado en Norteamérica fue en Maine, EUA, en 2007. En México, el primer registro sucedió en 1979; la especie ha sido reportada en seis estados, con un notable incremento durante los últimos años. Nuestro registro ocurrió el 16 de marzo de 2008. La mayoría de los individuos registrados en el este de Norteamérica posiblemente provengan de poblaciones reproductivas ubicadas en Groenlandia o en Islandia, y quizá estén funcionando como puentes geográficos entre Europa noroccidental y Norteamérica. Con base en sus patrones migratorios y de expansión geográfica, y en el aumento de sus colonias reproductivas, L. f. graellsii es la subespecie que puede ocurrir más comúnmente en Norteamérica. Las características morfológicas del individuo registrado en este trabajo son consistentes con dicho taxón. Si consideramos la regularidad y la cantidad de registros en diferentes regiones del continente, es probable que la presencia de la especie se encuentre subestimada en las costas mexicanas del Golfo de México, siendo en realidad una especie regular, aunque poco abundante.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND “EXPLOSION”. WAYS OF ERECTING AND OVERCOMING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE AUTHOR AND THE HERO (THE STORY OF J.-P. SARTRE “WORDS”)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Gimatdinova Aigul’ R.
Published: October 2022

This article attempts to define the boundary between the author and the hero, which is declared as the leading intention in J.-P. Sartre’s autobiographical novel “Words”. The boundary – category, as one of the central ones in the semiotics of culture, seems to be a convenient tool for analyzing the autobiographical narrative, a conventionally borderline literary genre, and is understood as an area of collision of two different spheres – nature and culture. The boundary that does not separate the text from the reference which he describes, and as a consequence the image of the author or character from the Author-Creator, but connects them. The article identifies such boundary markers as: theatricalization of the life experience, ironic distance as a technique, reflection on the achievable limits of the truthfulness in an autobiographical narrative and on the content of individual memory, the use of cultural memory as an explanatory context. Summarizing the article conclusions are drawn about how the explicit contouring of the boundary allows the author to distance himself from personal experience, but not completely exclude himself from the written text and preserve documentary as a certain quality.
Method for Determining the Range of a Coastal Radar Station
Authors: Gromozdin Valentin , Ievlev Konstantin , Kozub M. , Novikova. Tatyana
Published: October 2022

The paper considers an experimental-theoretical method for testing a coastal radar station using a test target with a reduced effective scattering surface (ESR), which makes it possible to take into account the effect of precipitation of varying intensity when testing in conditions of lack of precipitation. The limitations are considered when choosing the ESR of a test target both along the upper limit, due to the technical parameters of the tested radar and the range of the radio horizon, and along the lower limit, due to sea waves and reflections from the sea surface.
Matched Filter Design Method for White Noise and Non-Gaussian Noise Conditions
Authors: Degtyaryov Alexander , Kozhemyakin Alexander
Published: October 2022

A method for synthesizing a matched filter for conditions of simultaneous action of white noise and non-Gaussian noise is proposed. The method is based on the representation of the matched filter as a linear system that implements an integral transformation with a real kernel. Noise, non-Gaussian noise and signal are considered to be frequency limited. The signal-to-noise ratio at the reference point in time is determined. The expansion of the correlation function of the interference and the signal into a series of count functions and the resulting signal-to-noise ratio give an equation that allows one to determine the signals that maximize the signal-to-noise ratio.
Psychosocial consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in the context of psychiatric care
Authors:   Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, Czerska Iwona
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The study aimed to review the current literature on the psychosocial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in psychiatric care. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the available literature, the author discussed and grouped the stressors related to the coronavirus pandemic. Next, the author drew attention to the harmful effects of pandemic stressors on psychosocial consequences. The author based his considerations on the latest world literature on the subject – only from the pandemic period, i.e., 2020-2022. For this purpose, the author studied mainly scientific articles and electronic sources. The author used the following professional scientific databases: Taylor & Francis online, PubMed, and Google Scholar to collect scientific literature. Findings: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has changed the image of everyday functioning in society, which has had an impact on mental health. The coronavirus pandemic contributed to psychosocial disorders that significantly reduced the quality of life. There has been a significant increase in depression, drug-induced disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders. In the literature analysis, the author also indicated a rise in loneliness among seniors, increased domestic violence, and an increased risk of suicidal behavior. Social implications: The pandemic has shown investment in health means an investment in the economy, security, and the world's future. An efficient and safe health system is a raison d'etat, but it is also a colossal civilization challenge. The author noted the great importance of psychiatric care in alleviating stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The author also pointed to the urgent need to subsidize psychiatry in Poland and increase human resources in this area. Originality/value: The author addressed the article to scientists, health care researchers, and managers/directors managing medical entities to make them aware that the coronavirus pandemic has serious health consequences, primarily in the mental sphere, posing a challenge health care systems around the world. The article's value highlights the invaluable and underestimated role of psychiatry in dealing with individual, institutional and social difficulties related to COVID-19 and future emerging infectious diseases. According to the author, the post- pandemic situation in psychiatry should consider the stressors identified during the pandemic and its psychosocial consequences. In this way, doctors can accurately diagnose a patient and propose an effective treatment path, treating the patient comprehensively and holistically.
Influence of the production direction of European Union farms on the level of financial liabilities
Authors:   Cracow University of Economics, Firlej Krzysztof , Kubala Sebastia
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the direction of production of farms in the European Union and the level of their liabilities. Design/methodology/approach: The study period includes the years 2005-2019. Data relating to eight types of farming identified in the FADN database were used to illustrate the directions of production. The conducted research focuses on the following types of liabilities: total, incurred for a period longer than one year and incurred for a period of less than one year with outstanding cash payments. One-way ANOVA variance was used to achieve the research objective. Findings: The conducted research showed that the most common differences in the level of liabilities are between the type of granivores and the types of farms focused on plant production and other permanent crops with farms focused on field crops, horticulture and livestock production. Relatively few differences can be observed in the case of farms targeting the same source of food origin (except for other permanent crops). Originality/value: The obtained results indicate a significant differentiation in the level of liabilities in farms focused on plant and livestock production, which results from the different specificity of their production.

Practical implications: In non-governmental organizations, authorities and project managers should increase their competences in the field of effective communication and building positive relationships in project teams in order to successfully implement projects. Social implications: Knowledge of the methods of effective communication and building positive relationships in project teams allows to increase awareness among members of non- governmental organizations of how the ways of working and team involvement affect the success of projects. Originality/value: A case study was conducted in a selected project team operating in an NGO on the importance of communication and building positive relationships. The article is addressed to people involved in NGO project management research and to third-sector entities.
Leader-Member Exchange and learning climate in increasing employee motivation: a post-pandemic perspective
Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Marzec Izabela
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The paper tries to answer the following question: what are the relationships between the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX), learning climate, and employee motivation in public administration? Its purpose is to identify the relationships between LMX, learning climate, and employee motivation in public administration organizations. Methodology: The paper presents the results of a survey carried out in the Górnośląsko- Zagłębiowska Metropolis (Metropolis GZM), i.e. the metropolitan association located in the area of Upper Silesia. The sample consisted of 153 employees in all of 41 municipal offices of the Metropolis GZM. A model of relationships between LMX, learning climate, and employee motivation was proposed and tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings: It was found that the quality of LMX positively affected learning climate, which in turn influenced employee motivation. Analysis proved that learning climate mediated the relationship between LMX and motivation of public administration employees. Research limitations/implications: The study focused only on the municipal offices in the Metropolis GZM and its results cannot be generalized. However, it implies that public administration organizations can create the learning climate by improving relationships between supervisors and subordinates to increase employee motivation. Practical implications: The results obtained indicate that in the contemporary public administration, a traditional approach to motivate employees should evolve and move towards an approach based on positive social relations, mutual trust, and leaders’ developmental support. Originality/value: This research has provided empirical evidence regarding the relationships between the quality of LMX, learning climate and employee motivation which was hitherto absent from public administration.
Identification of the main components of the competitive potential of enterprises operating in crisis conditions
Authors:   Kazimierz Pulaski University of Technology and Humanities, Wolak-Tuzimek Anna
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The paper aims to identify major components of the competitive potential of enterprises operating at the initial stage of the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The research hypothesis H1 is advanced: the scope of business objects affects the selection of enterprise competitive potential components. The concept and nature of competitiveness are discussed and the subject matter of enterprise competitive potential is detailed. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical section follows a thorough review of leading specialist literature. The empirical part, on the other hand, uses the exploratory factor analysis, which detects an optimum group of main factors and explains correlations among observable variables, serves to verify the hypothesis. The number of factors is determined by means of the Cattell scree and Kaiser criteria. Findings: The paper contains the results of research into 253 large enterprises in the Polish economy. Exploratory factor analysis is employed to define the statistically significant components of competitive potential of enterprises active in the initial phase of the economic crisis and the effect of business objectives is explored on the selection of the components of enterprise competitive potential. It is shown that, regardless of business objects, three factors, namely, innovative machinery and equipment, the financial condition of an enterprise, and human capital, are the key components of enterprise competitive potential. Practical implications: The results can be utilised by entrepreneurs as a guide to the selection of the components of enterprise competitive potential at the times of crises. Originality/value: The paper presents the results of original research into a representative group of large enterprises which can be generalised to the entire population assuming a confidence level of α = 95% and maximum error of β = 6%.
Knowledge sharing behaviors in virtual teams – results of empirical research
Authors:   University of Bielsko-Biala, Zielińska Agnieszka
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Working in virtual teams and realizing projects through ICT tools has become the usual way of collaboration, especially across knowledge workers. Therefore this paper has two research objectives. The first objective is to verify to what extent the virtuality level is correlated with knowledge sharing behaviors. The second objective is to verify to what extent methods of management projects are correlated with knowledge sharing behaviors in virtual teams. Methodology: To achieve research objectives empirical research was conducted. Based on the previous research, the online survey was designed. The survey was filled out by 336 members of virtual teams. They worked using ICT tools and realize technology projects in the IT industry. Collected data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Imago Pro to test hypotheses. Findings: The correlation between the level of virtuality and knowledge sharing behaviors did not confirm. The hypothesis that methods of project management are correlated with knowledge sharing behaviors in virtual teams was partly supported. Research limitations: Research was conducted in technology teams in the IT industry. Virtual team members only from European companies have taken part in the research. Practical implications: Results can be useful to manage virtual teams not according to overall beliefs but scientific evidence. Based on the results it is possible to identify which variables for knowledge sharing behaviors in virtual teams are significant and which are not. Originality/value: Only a few studies have explored knowledge sharing in a virtual context. This paper supports scientific evidence of the level of virtuality and methods of managing projects concerning knowledge sharing behaviors as not discovered in earlier research. Keywords: virtual teams, knowledge sharing behaviors, project management, virtual management, post-COVID era.

Self-assessed Competence of Nurses in Critical Care Units in Malawi: A Cross-sectional Survey
Authors: Gundo Rodwell , Gundo Beatrice , Chirwa Ellen , Dickinson Annette , Mearns Gael
Published: October 2022

Background: The birth of a premature infant and admission to the NICU is often unexpected and traumatic for families, leading to increased distress and can negatively impact parental-infant attachment. Appropriate interventions can help to lessen the negative impact of a NICU admission on families, improving parental mental health, reducing distress, enhancing parent- infant relationships, and improving the long-term physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of the infant.

Aims: The purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate research evidence on the effectiveness of current interventions for improving parental distress in the NICU. Methods: A rapid review was conducted utilizing a protocol based on the Virginia Commonwealth University guidance. Keyword searches were conducted on CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsychINFO, and studies were selected according to pre-defined eligibility criteria, published between January 2015 and January 2020. The literature search included primary studies of interventions with parental stress and/or anxiety reduction as outcomes.

Results: A total of 14 articles were included, evaluating the effectiveness of 13 different interventions, including narrative writing, art therapy, structured nursing interventions, anxiety counselling, spiritual care, organizational change, music therapy, relaxation, and mindfulness techniques. With the Pexception of three, all the studies found significant results in the reduction of stress and/or anxiety levels of the subjects, with mothers having overall higher levels of stress indicated by higher stress scores on standardized measurement tools.

Conclusion:  There is a need for ongoing assessment of parental distress and integration of appropriate interventions within the NICU settings. In this review, both individualized and group interventions including narrative writing, art therapy, music therapy, spiritual care, activity-based group therapy, music therapy, audio-assisted relaxation techniques, mindfulness based neurodevelopmental care, cognitive behavioral based counselling, family nurture intervention and a structured nursing intervention were shown to be effective in reducing parental stress and/or anxiety in the NICU.  The small scale of the studies included in this review impact generalizability to a broader audience and emphasizes the need for larger scope, multi-center studies at an international level to build on and broaden our level of knowledge on how to better support families and reduce parental distress in the NICU.

A Scoping Review of the Impact of Emergency Department Nurse Practitioners on Healthcare Outcomes in Canada Patient Safety Solution
Authors: Bazavluk Timur , Pant Usha , Vyas Krooti , Hunter Kathleen , Papathanasoglou Elisavet
Published: October 2022

Background: Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are a valuable yet untapped resource in Canadian healthcare – especially in the emergency department (ED). Multiple international studies showed positive outcomes associated with NPs working in EDs, but limited Canadian studies are available.

Aim: The objective of this study was to review the literature available in Canada on the outcomes associated with having NPs in the ED. These outcomes include wait times, length of stay (LOS), rates of patients who left without being seen (LWBS), willingness to be treated by an NP, and patient satisfaction with their treatment by an NP.

Methods: This scoping review was informed by the procedures outlined by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Reporting was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Two independent reviewers systematically searched CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE in January 2022. All peer-reviewed articles that met the eligibility criteria were included. A pair of independent reviewers completed the selection process, screening, and data extraction. The reviewers discussed disagreements until they reached a consensus.

Results: A total of five studies met the inclusion criteria. Decrease in wait times, LOS, rates of patients who LWBS, and increase in patient throughput were noted. One study did not find significant improvement in wait times, LOS, and rates of patients who LWBS. There was also a high rate of patient satisfaction and willingness to see an NP.

Conclusion: This review shows evidence of positive change on the outcomes of decreased wait times, LOS, rates of patients who LWBS, and patient satisfaction associated with having NPs in EDs. However, there is limited up-to-date evidence in the Canadian literature leaving room for future research. Future research needs to address outcomes associated with NPs working in the ED in Canadian provinces other than British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, research that is more in line with the current political climate of the pandemic and lack of resources, and how NPs can be best integrated into EDs

Finite element analysis on prosthetic leg under different loads and flexion angles for medical applications
Authors: Kumar Konada Naresh , Sai Suman Koka Naga
Published: October 2022

Prosthetic legs (PL) are mainly used to perform leg amputations more easily. The design and performance of these legs mainly depend on the material selection and manufacturing methods. In the present study,  alternative materials are considered for PL such as Al alloy, Ti alloy, Uni directional Carbon fiber epoxy (UDCFE), and combined composite material (CF, UDCFE and Ti alloy) to perform  static and fatigue analysis . Static analysis was performed under four different load conditions 60 kg,70 kg, 80 Kg and 90 kg. Fatigue analysis was done under low cycle fatigue conditions. Theoretical calculations are evaluated at various inclinations of the foot 10°, 20°, and 30° with the ground. The results obtained theoretically are compared with Ansys results. The best material which gives the lesser value of deformation and lower damage factor is selected for the design. Further, experimental studies were suggested based on the results obtained from this work.
MICHAŁ KALECKI’S SCIENTIFIC LEGACY AS A MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY CRISES
Authors: Pawlik Andrzej
Published: October 2022

Recurring crises slowing down economic activities and the resulting consequences paint the picture of modern economies. Therefore, it seems justified to draw on the achievements of economics with a view to explaining the causes of socio-economic crises. The article uses a descriptive method. The objective of the article is to understand the substance of the phenomenon; therefore, the author seeks certain analogies in the past and refers to the work of the Polish scholar Michał Kalecki. The basic conclusion of the article is: J.M. Keynes built a new macroeconomic theory based on the fundamental proposition that manufacturers’ supply (the levels of national income and employment) depended on aggregate demand. In the mid-1930s, a similar thought was formulated by Poland’s most eminent economist, Michał Kalecki. He constructed his business cycle model based on the aforementioned fundamental proposition. It meant that profits and national income were determined by effective investor and consumer demand. J.M. Keynes’s and M. Kalecki’s stressing the pivotal role of aggregate demand was a revolution in economic thinking. It should be noted that the COVID-19 pandemic is not merely a short-term change in economic activity. As predicted by various international institutions, it will have a lasting impact on the functioning of the global economy.

Published: October 2022

The subject of the study is the conceptual and praxeological theoretical basis for the implementation of measures to prevent corruption during martial law. Methodology: general and special methods of scientific knowledge were used in this study. The comparison method was used to summarize the approaches of various researchers on the main dominants to the definition of the concepts of "restrictions" and "anti-corruption restrictions". The analysis was used to determine quantitative and qualitative parameters that characterize the specifics of applying restrictions on relatives' work in relation to servicemen. The results of the study showed that there is an urgent need in Ukraine to adjust the anti-corruption mechanism so that the existing anti-corruption measures are improved and adapted to the conditions of martial law. Conclusion. It has been established that measures to prevent corruption, such as anti-corruption declarations and special inspections, have been simplified during martial law, which has a positive effect, mediated by the presence of objective reasons for the impossibility of their normal application. Attention is drawn to the fact that some anti-corruption restrictions have been forcibly terminated - there are temporary reservations regarding restrictions on receiving gifts and restrictions on the use of official powers or one's position. It is substantiated that anti-corruption restrictions during the martial law period have gained signs of flexibility, but only for charitable purposes and for the purpose of material support of the defense of Ukraine, which corresponds to the modern national interests. The current order of application of anti-corruption restrictions to servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, formed in accordance with the legislation, was analyzed. It is noted that at the subordinate level was used an expansive interpretation of the restriction of joint work of close persons by applying it to almost all members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is not consistent with the prescriptions of the relevant anti-corruption legislation. Amending Art. 27 of the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption" by singling out military officials as subjects who are not subject to the restriction on joint work of relatives.

The factors determining the spread of small business in printing were revealed. They are related to the peculiarities of the consumer market, which requires a wide geography of supplies and personalized orders; to the development of scientific and technological progress, the result of which is the invention of less capital-intensive technologies; to the state policy focused on the stimulation of small business development. The relevance of the business model of cooperation in the publishing and printing complex at the international level has been proved. Its appropriateness is due to the small size of the domestic market, the lack of funding sources for innovation, the undeveloped domestic material and technical base. Integration is also relevant on the domestic market. It can be implemented by concluding long-term contracts with advertising agencies and IT specialists to offer multimedia publications and printed products with augmented reality that are in demand on the market. It was found that in conditions of high competitive pressure enterprises need to improve the level of service. This requires improvements in logistics process management and marketing communication policy. Delivery efficiency and attention to individual customer needs become critical. The desire to effectively build relationships with customers stimulates the introduction of CRM-systems. Enterprise management at the planning stage should take into account the high complexity of mastering employees CRM-systems. Understanding the strategic importance of spending time and resources on mastering new technologies and on personnel development provides synergy for the entire production system, promotes self-improvement of employees, their desire for continuous progress and, finally, increases their job satisfaction. International benchmarking is relevant to improve the management of printing companies. The authors identified funding for training of talented youth, certification of production according to international quality standards, priority of investment in innovation, search for new market niches, and strengthening of inter-sector cooperation as priorities.

The purpose of the article is to study the essence of corruption risks that may arise in the process of ensuring the economic security of the State; to consider the main ways of managing such risks as a method of improving the interaction between the economic and legal components of modern Ukrainian society. The scientific discussion on the problem of legal regulation of economic security in Ukraine is presented. The concept of legislative provision of economic security of the state is proposed. This concept is defined as a set of normative legal acts and documents that determine the priorities of the state, aimed at increasing the level of competence and responsibility of public authorities in ensuring safe conditions for the functioning of the national economy of the state (as a component of national security) by identifying the main risks and ways to eliminate them. The scientific approaches to the definition of economic security are characterized. The author's vision of the essence of economic security is presented. This essence is understood as the interaction of public authorities to ensure the conditions necessary to protect the national interests of the subjects of socio-economic relations at all levels in order to ensure stable growth of the economic indicator, meet the economic needs of society and simplify state control over the use of economic resources. The main corruption risks that may arise in the process of ensuring the economic security of the state and the peculiarities of their management are considered. Results. The main corruption risks that may arise in the process of ensuring the economic security of the state are highlighted: risks caused by the discretionary powers of the subjects of ensuring the national economic security of the state; risks caused by the conflict of interests of the subjects of ensuring the national economic security of the state; institutional risks caused by the presence of a number of determinants that contribute to the development of the criminal intent of an official to commit a corruption offense; system-wide risks caused by the general instability of functioning and other shortcomings of the economic sphere of the state. It is established that the main methods of managing corruption risks in economic activity are: elimination of formalism by expanding/improving the boundaries and ways of interaction of economic entities; preventing the existence of discretionary powers of economic entities; provision of individuals and legal entities with procedural guarantees of influence on the development of the state economy; prevention of conflicts of interest of economic entities; regular analysis of possible losses from risk; modeling of potentially corrupt situations in the economic sphere of the state; forecasting the growth of corruption and elimination of its determinants by means of criminal law and criminology.

The study was conducted to evaluate table egg marketing amid COVID -19 pandemic in Ibadan South-West local government area of Oyo state. Multi-stage random sampling method was used in selecting egg marketers. Using a well-structured questionnaire, data were obtained and subjected to descriptive statistics, gross margin and regression analysis. The result obtained shows that the mean age of the egg marketers was 33 years. Majorities were female and Christians. Most were Yoruba people, married, with tertiary education. Large number of the respondents adopted COVID -19 measures such as hand cleaning regularly, cough or sneeze in the bent elbow, use of nose mask, avoid contact with eyes, nose and mouth. The estimated gross margin value was N16, 300.00 while the regression result showed that price of egg purchase (p<0.01) and transport cost (p<0.05) during COVID -19 pandemic had significant effect on egg marketing. It was also observed that COVID -19 measure index (CMI) and transportation negatively affected egg marketing. It is therefore recommended that the government should provide appropriate palliative to reduce the effect of COVID -19 pandemic on egg marketers.

Climate change is a real obstacle to agriculture because of the difficulty of water supply. Farmers are trying to mitigate this problem by developing several strategies including those based on irrigation. Unfortunately, these irrigation techniques favour the entry of sodium in food crops. In response to this situation, research has been conducted in Benin to develop a salinity resistant variety of local amaranth (called line 23). The objective of this study is to determine the nutritional values of this resistant amaranth variety grown under salt stress and to compare them with the nutritional values of local amaranth grown under the same conditions. Local and resistant amaranth plants were grown in real environment and then stressed with salt concentrations of 0; 7.1 and 19.6 mmol NaCl. After harvesting, the leaves were sent to the laboratories for the determination of nutritional elements. Three replicates were done. Analysis of variance was used to compare the means of the nutritional elements assayed using JMP software (SAS Institute MC 2007). The results show a significant improvement in calcium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin A levels in line 23 in contrast to the reference cultivar. However, the sodium content, although decreasing as the salt concentration increases, remains above acceptable limits. As for the reference cultivar, the results show an increase in the concentrations of several elements: iron, calcium, magnesium, including that of sodium, which is harmful to cardiovascular health.

Senna alata (Fabaceae) has been long used by local people in Indonesia and other countries to treat various skin infections. This study aims to explain the relationship between the benefits and bioactivity of S. alata. The method used is library research on various research results published online at Google Scholar using the keywords Senna alata , uses of S. alata and S. alata bioactivity. The results obtained were synthesized to provide comprehensive information on the botanical, benefits and bioactivity of S. alata. Traditionally, S. alata is used to cure typhoid, diabetes, malaria, asthma, ringworm, skin infections, scabies, blotches, herpes, and eczema. The S. alata has bioactivity as anti-microbial, anti-cancer, antidiabetic mellitus and abortion, but its use as an antimicrobial is more prominent, so it has the potential to be developed as a drug to treat skin disease. The bioactivity of S. alata as an antimicrobial is related to the content of its secondary metabolites, especially anthraquinones, which be used as a compound to standardize the quality of S. alata raw materials.
