COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TO THE DEFINITION OF AN INCLUSIVE ECONOMY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALISATION
Authors:   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine», Pshenychna Mariia , Nimenko Dmytro ,   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine»
Published: January 2025

The article provides a justification for the expediency of
using comparative analysis to reveal and systematise scientific views on the
essence of an inclusive economy. It is noted that the concept of an inclusive
economy involves the formation of a new model of organisation of economic processes in the State by providing equal access to material resources to
all members of society. It is outlined that the growing relevance of the study
of the content of the inclusive economy is due to the impact of globalisation
and the desire to ensure sustainable development. The paper contains a
comprehensive analysis of existing approaches to the interpretation of the
term ‘inclusive economy’ both among leading scholars of Ukraine and the
world and from the point of view of international financial institutions. On the
basis of the analysis of information sources, the article identifies three
scientific approaches to defining the essence of an inclusive economy:
humanitarian, socio-economic, and political-institutional. A comparative
analysis was carried out according to the criteria of content, principles, role
of the individual / state institutions, and mechanisms of economic
development. It is established that each of the identified approaches is
based on different models of economic functioning - individualistic-personal,
collectivistic, and state-based. It is noted that a common feature of all the
identified approaches is the idea of actively encouraging each member of
society to engage in productive economic activity. However, the result of
their practical implementation may differ significantly due to their different
value orientation: within the first approach, the end result is the fulfilment of
economic needs of an individual (the leading value of individual needs),
within the second - the fulfilment of economic needs and development of a
social community, and the third approach is more focused on the fulfilment
of economic needs and economic development of the State as a whole. It is
concluded that comparative analysis is an effective methodological tool for
streamlining and systematising different approaches to defining an inclusive
economy and identifying its content in the context of development of
economic systems at different levels.
BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES
Authors:   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine», Pshenychna Mariia , Pysarenko М. ,   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine»
Published: January 2025

This research paper reviews the theoretical foundations and
methodological approaches of Business Process Reengineering (BPR),
emphasizing its instrumental role in organizational transformation. Through
a retrospective analysis, the study traces the theoretical evolution of BPR
from its initial conceptualization by Hammer and Champy in the 1990s to its current applications, showing its paradigmatic shift from incremental
improvement methodologies toward radical organizational restructuring.
The methodology highlights the empirical value of integrating
quantitative methods (statistical analysis, simulation modelling) with
qualitative approaches (structured interviews, focus groups) in BPR
implementation. The research presents a systematic analysis of BPR
methodologies applicable in the Ukrainian business context: process
analysis and modelling, value chain analysis, activity-based costing (ABC),
5S methodology, Six Sigma, total quality management (TQM), rapid
application development (RAD) and Lean approach. Each methodology is
critically evaluated on the basis of its objectives and implementation tools.
The study identifies significant barriers to the implementation of BPR
in Ukrainian companies, including resource constraints, technical barriers,
organizational resistance and insufficient theoretical understanding.
Particular emphasis is placed on the emerging importance of
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) paradigms in business
reengineering, highlighting the imperative for Ukrainian companies to align
their transformation initiatives with sustainable development principles.
The research concludes that while BPR is not new in economic theory,
it remains the most viable tool for organizational adaptation to contemporary
challenges. The findings emphasize that effective implementation of BPR
requires a paradigm shift from incremental to revolutionary operational
restructuring, underpinned by systematic analysis and comprehensive
reallocation of resources, while adhering to sustainable development
principles.
Methodological approaches to assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise
Authors:   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine», Samofalova M.O. , Maksymuk I.O. ,   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine»
Published: January 2025

The article considers approaches to assessing the
competitiveness of an enterprise, in particular, the classification of methods
for assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise, which involves their
division into separate groups according to a certain feature. Most often,
such a feature is the form of presentation of the assessment results,
according to which graphical, matrix, calculation and combined (calculationmatrix, calculation-graphical) methods are distinguished. The article
considers calculation methods for assessing the competitiveness of an
enterprise, such as specific and complex. The problems of using the
integral competitiveness indicator are related to methodological difficulties
in its quantitative calculation, which lead to a very wide use of expert
assessments, and as a result, the adequacy of the reality of the calculation
results themselves raises understandable doubts. Different authors justify
different groups of factors that should be included in the aggregate (integral,
group) indicator. In addition, different ways of making expert assessments
are proposed, and often it is simply stated that "weighting coefficients are
determined by experts".
Therefore, among the methods for assessing the integral indicator of
competitiveness, we decided to use the methodology of the author Masliuk
O. V., where the assessment of competitiveness of an enterprise covers all
the most important assessments of economic activity of an industrial
enterprise, eliminates duplication of individual indicators, and allows to
quickly and objectively obtain a picture of the position of the enterprise in
the industry market. The use of comparison of indicators for different
periods of time in the course of the assessment makes it possible to use
this method as an option for operational control of individual services.
FORMS AND METHODS OF ATTRACTING AND USING INVESTMENTS
Authors:   Open International University of Human Developmеnt «Ukraine», Fedkov M.L.
Published: January 2025

This article examines investment resources as important
basic elements of the development of the economy and enterprises.
Attracting investments allows companies to implement new projects,
expand production, modernize equipment and introduce innovations.
Mechanisms for attracting investment resources are important tools for the
development of both individual enterprises and the economy as a whole.
Investments are investments of capital (cash, property, technologies,
intellectual resources) with the aim of obtaining profit or other economic
effect in the future. Also, they can be directed to the development of
enterprises, the purchase of securities, real estate and various innovative
projects. The main purpose of investments is to increase the value of
capital, create new assets or increase the efficiency of existing ones.
Effective attraction of investment resources is a key element of
successful business and economic development. Investments contribute
not only to the expansion of production and modernization, but also create
additional jobs and increase the competitiveness of enterprises on the
market.
Successful investment attraction requires the use of various actions,
strategies and tools that help attract both domestic and foreign investment.
The methods of attracting investment resources vary depending on
the type of business, the scope of activity and the goals of the enterprise.
The functions of attracting resources include a number of economic and
managerial actions aimed at forming the necessary capital for the
implementation of investment projects.

Authors: Gakuru Edison , Adyanga Akena Francis , Ocan Johnson
Published: January 2025

The study aimed at understanding the implications of online banking on financial inclusion in banking institutions: A literature review on challenges and opportunities. It presents the challenges and opportunities of online banking globally. This study utilized a literature review approach. A comprehensive search was conducted across various academic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, Google Scholar, and JSTOR, yielding a total of 563 documents. The search was performed using keywords such as “online banking,” “financial inclusion,” “digital banking challenges,” “financial inclusion opportunities,” and “banking institutions.” Boolean operators (e.g., “AND,” “OR”) were used to refine search results and retrieve relevant literature. After filtering, 31 documents were selected for in-depth review based on relevance to the study’s objectives, as evidenced in the reference section. This was after the inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the selection of pertinent literature. It was revealed that online banking has transformative potential to advance financial inclusion by making financial services more accessible and affordable. However, it faces challenges that can hinder its impact, including limited digital literacy, high transaction fees, and inadequate infrastructure in certain regions. Therefore, financial institutions should also work to reduce transaction costs and simplify online banking interfaces to accommodate users with low digital skills. Collaboration with financial firms could provide innovative solutions to these issues and improve service delivery

Liturgia, catequesis y familia
Authors: Sultana Carl Maria
Published: January 2025

La familia desempeña un papel fundamental en el proceso de transmisión y vivencia de la fe, un papel que se ha subrayado con el título de “iglesia doméstica” aplicado a la familia. La catequesis y la liturgia, lejos de ser funciones separadas, encuentran en el hogar un espacio sinérgico para la formación espiritual. Históricamente, el hogar ha sido el lugar primordial para la práctica litúrgica yla catequesis, especialmente durante el catecumenado primitivo. Sin embargo, la desconexión surgida en épocas posteriores invita a una revalorización del papel de la familia en la formación cristiana. Propuestas actuales, como la Misa con niños, la oración diaria en familia y la celebración de sacramentos, buscan reintegrar la liturgia y la catequesis en el ámbito familiar, asegurando una transmisión de la fe más efectiva y profunda.

The strategic management of human resources in organizations is fundamental due to the competitive demands of the markets, which is why an excellent organizational culture must be maintained to increase workers' motivation. This study aims to provide specific recommendations to improve strategic human resource management in the context of municipalities, thus promoting a comprehensive transformation that increases the capacity to retain and attract valuable personnel. The research is quantitative and follows a correlational design. A questionnaire was administered to 112 employees of municipalities regarding the variable strategic human resources management with the dimensions of organizational culture, organizational climate, and personnel selection and the variable motivation with the dimensions of job satisfaction and work environment with a Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.851. The results show that 65.18% of the workers consider that the organizational culture in the municipalities is fair, 67.86% of the workers highlight that the personnel selection capacity is inadequate, 53.75% express that the level of social relations in the organization is low, and 50% of the workers indicate that job satisfaction is fair. These results reflect that companies must increase their capacity to retain and attract stable and valuable personnel that fit the organization's profile.
The Embracement of Design Science Research Methodology in the Development of Digital Transformation Models
Authors: Sabri Mohammad Omar
Published: January 2025

Many organizations should be more confident about adopting different technologies in their business environment. Potential barriers and complexities are the primary explanation for these attitudes. Utilizing appropriate models in technology implementation and evaluation could be a motivation to resolve this distrust and create a state of confidence in transforming towards these technologies. A design science research methodology (DSRM) approach efficiently developed effective digital transformation (DT) models. It includes different phases and follows an iterative approach in developing these models. In this paper, we are presenting two case studies that adopted the DSRM approach in DT. One is to extract a Business model (BM) for initiating DT using a university scientific research information system (SRIS). The other demonstrates new cloud collaboration platforms (CCPs) to create an assessment model for new technologies during pandemics.

Development of Portable Electronics Incentive Spirometer for Patients Recovering from COVID-19 for Nakhon Nayok and Sa Kaeo Province Community
Authors: Senavongse W. , Noimanee S.
Published: January 2025

After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increasing demand for simple respiratory rehabilitation tools to assist patients in their recovery process. Among these tools, incentive spirometry is important in helping lung function and preventing complications such as pneumonia and atelectasis. Nevertheless, traditional spirometers are often bulky and confined to hospitals. These spirometers are not practical for home use which reduces patient safety and access to treatment. The development of a portable electronic incentive spirometer is specifically designed for patients recovering from COVID-19 in Thailand. This device contains small sensors, special microcontrollers, and a user interface with real-time measurements of inspiratory volume. It provides appropriate breathing techniques to Nakhon Nayok and Sa Kaeo patients. The spirometer has a wireless connection from the device to the main operator, allowing healthcare workers to monitor remotely and assist in telemedicine operations. With design refinements and volunteer user feedback, this portable electronic spirometer proposes an accessible and efficient solution for respirational rehabilitation in the post-COVID-19 era. Furthermore, the device can support patient engagement and improve clinical outcomes.

Authors: Ogorevc Igor , Shimotsuura Yasihiroo , Ogorevc Irma , Stanisic Slavisa
Published: January 2025

Various pharmaceutical and natural preparations are used to remove radioactive material from the body. The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) was severely damaged by the chain reaction of the earthquake and tsunami in eastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and the resulting hydrogen gas meltdowns and explosions. Radiocesium was dispersed after the Fukushima Dai-ichi disaster in March 2011, causing relatively high radioactive contamination in nearby environments. Prof. Shimotsuura was a member of the medical administration that organized the health care and treatment of the population near the accident. He incorporated the method of supplementation with cold-pressed oils and conducted a study. The results of a study published in scientific papers, measuring the amount of radioactivity in the thyroid gland, kidneys and reproductive organs in patients before and after therapy, indicate that oils containing organic potassium iodide, such as walnut oil and bay oil, were very effective in eliminating radioactive iodine, cesium and strontium. Compared to other applied therapies, they are among the most effective treatments. It is a practical, reliable and inexpensive method without side effects that can be used preventively and therapeutically in all cases of exposure of an individual or population to radioactive radiation.

Authors: Florijančić Tihomir , Končevski Neška Vukšić , Budor Ivica
Published: January 2025

The consumption of game meat in Croatia is significantly lower than that of the domestic animals’ meat. The paper aims to determine the consumer's attitudes, preferences, and perceptions about the consumption of game meat in Croatia, based on a survey questionnaire. A total of 845 respondents from all over Croatia were surveyed, 715 of whom were hunters. Even though game meat is available to most respondents (67.92%) daily, most of them (40.47%) consume it only occasionally, and only a few of them consume it once a week (7.81%), with the meat products being predominant, most frequently the game meat salami (62.25%). Wild boar meat (33.42%), followed by the rabbit (19.93%), pheasant (16.47%), and roe deer meat (13.56%), is most frequently consumed, while other types of game meat are consumed by a total of less than 7% of respondents. The majority of respondents (78.82%) were aware of the nutritional value of the game meat, which is better than the domestic animals’ meat, and they harbored no fear of inadequate game meat health. Despite this, the offer on the market is relatively weak, although the price is acceptable. As many as 85.33% of respondents believe that the game meat has poor marketing and a weak representation in the media arena. Based on the aforementioned facts, we may conclude that it is necessary to strengthen the marketing activities, as well as the citizens’ awareness of the game meat’s nutritional, culinary, and health value, to increase the consumption of the game meat and provide for its better position on the market.
An Efficient Quality Enhancement Method for Low-Dose CBCT Imaging
Authors: Mirzaei Simin , Tohidypour Hamid Reza , Nasiopoulos Panos , Mirabbasi Shahriar
Published: January 2025

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a widely used imaging technique in medical and dental applications. However, low-dose radiation CBCT images are prone to aliasing artifacts, which introduce artifacts in microstructures, degrade image quality, and as a result affect diagnostic accuracy. Existing CBCT image enhancement approaches tend to focus on noise reduction and higher resolution but they fail to address aliasing artifacts. This paper introduces a unique anti-aliasing method specifically designed for low-dose CBCT images. The proposed approach utilizes a Butterworth filter to remove aliasing artifacts in high frequencies, while speckle noise is reduced by a Non-Local Means (NLM) filter. Finally, the overall visual quality is improved by a Laplacian filter which enhances edges while steps are taken to adjust brightness and contrast. Subjective evaluations show that our approach outperforms existing methods by an average of 98.63%, effectively mitigating aliasing without compromising resolution or introducing additional noise, thereby improving the diagnostic reliability of CBCT images and addressing a critical gap in current clinical practice.
Security Enhanced Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation-Based Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Abu-Ein Ashraf A. , Abuain Waleed Abdelkarim , Alhafnawi Mohannad Q. , Al-Hazaimeh Obaida M.
Published: January 2025

Recently, the problem of allocating bandwidth has arisen due to the limitation of bandwidth resources. Reinforcement learning is a good technique that can be used for improving throughput, and efficiency and minimizing the overall blocking of the network. To optimize performance metrics such as throughput and Quality of Service (e.g., QoS), this research employs Reinforcement Learning (e.g., RL) and models bandwidth allocation in networking as a Markov Decision Process (e.g., MDP). Interacting with the network and modifying rewards-based policies, the agent acquires the ability to allocate bandwidth efficiently using RL techniques like Q-learning. Resource management, quality of service (e.g., QoS), fairness, security, and privacy are among the challenges the approach addresses in Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (e.g., DBA). This approach illustrates how RL can enhance network performance and decision-making across a variety of applications. The obtained results indicate that RL algorithms are more effective in enhancing network performance, Quality of Service (e.g., QoS), and user fairness.
Application of Swarm Intelligence in Transportation System Optimisation
Authors: Agboola Olasunmbo O. , Obembe Deborah T. , Agarana Michael C.
Published: January 2025

Swarm intelligence is a branch of artificial and natural intelligence that studies systems with many characters that manage their activities through distributed control and self-organisation. The field focuses on the actions of social insects such as fish schools, bird flocks, ants, termites, bees, and wasp colonies. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and ant colony optimisation (ACO) are two of the most common systems reported by swarm intelligence. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic method used to find optimal pathways in computationally complex situations by condensing the problem. This paper analyses the use of ACO metaheuristics to find the initial basic feasible solution in an unbalanced and balanced transportation method. Then, it compares it to other traditional methods (The least cost method, Northwest Corner method, and Vogel’s approximation method). The primary goal of this study is to provide a helpful framework for understanding new trends in applying swarm intelligence in system optimisation and implementing/using the ACO algorithm in a real-life situation. Examples were generated online. At the end of the paper, for the unbalanced transportation problem, the Least Cost method, Northwest Corner method, Vogel’s Approximation method, and ACO method gave us (472, 547, 374, and 389) as the total cost, respectively. For the balanced transportation problem, the Least Cost, Northwest Corner, Vogel’s Approximation, and ACO methods gave us (2450, 3700, 2150, and 3650) as the total cost, respectively.

Impact of environmental air particle numbers on the accumulation of organic carbon in WFI during sampling
Authors: Hawer H. , Voigtsberger J.N. , Ruhlandt M. , Hawer S.
Published: January 2025

Total organic carbon (TOC) presents an essential quality parameter for purified water (AP) and water for injection (WFI). For the monitoring of pharmaceutical water systems, the analysis of TOC occurs online and offline. However, monitoring data collected throughout the industry readily indicates little comparability between available online and offline measurement systems and outlier values are a common occurrence in offline samples while online devices display results with high stability. Using a recently implemented and heavily controlled WFI-system with stable online TOC values of < 4 ppb we analysed the impact of environmental air particle numbers in controlled production and technical areas on offline TOC analyses. The detected correlation strongly links environmental air particle numbers to the accumulation of organic carbon in water samples indicating outlier values do not necessarily represent a loss of quality within the generation or distribution system but rather an environmental impact or hygienic changes in the surrounding area. Our data highlights the importance of comparative and redundant offline and online analyses using various parameters to distinguish systematic and local valve contaminations from the displayed impact via the sampling environment when monitoring and evaluating complex systems.

Penggalakan Entrepreneurship sebagai Langkah Awal untuk Peningkatan Kemandirian Perekonomian Indonesia
Authors: Christian Sonata
Published: January 2025

Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menjelaskan peranan entrepreneurship dalam mengatasi persoalan ekonomi makro Indonesia yang saat ini menjadi perhatian banyak pihak yaitu mengenai pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Yang menarik perhatian adalah banyaknya pengangguran terdidik dari kalangan intelektual yang telah menyelesaikan jenjang pendidikan sekolah kejuruan, sekolah menengah atas, diploma bahkan lulusan perguruan tinggi/universitas. Yang terjadi saat ini para pengangguran terdidik tersebut banyak yang masih terpaku pada paradigma menjadi pencari kerja dan bukan pencipta lapangan kerja. Padahal dengan kecerdasan intelektual yang dimiliki disertai bekal ilmu yang telah diperoleh selama menempuh pendidikan mereka dapat membuka lapangan kerja yang baru. Seandainya mereka digalakkan untuk memiliki sifat entrepreneurship: kreatif, inovatif, mau berkeringat dan tidak mudah menyerah membangun usaha baru berdasarkan peluangpeluang yang ada maka lapangan kerja akan terbuka luas dan tingkat perekonomian Indonesia akan meningkat. Saat ini Negara Indonesia membutuhkan banyak entrepreneur di kalangan generasi muda. Seorang entrepreneur menurut Dr. (HC) Ir. Ciputra adalah orang yang dapat mengubah kotoran dan rongsokan menjadi emas. Dengan sentuhan kreativitas, inovasi dan ilmu pengetahuan yang dimiliki para entrepreneur tersebut diharapkan dapat mengolah segala potensi kekayaan alam, kekayaan bahari, ekologi, wisata, industri kreatif, dan segala faktor produksi yang dimiliki Negara Indonesia menjadi bernilai guna dan membuka banyak lapangan kerja baru. Sebuah penelitian yang dilakukan oleh David Mc Clelland membuktikan bahwa sebuah negara akan disebut makmur dan memiliki kemandirian ekonomi jika memiliki jumlah entrepreneur minimal 2% dari seluruh penduduk di negara tersebut. Berdasarkan data statistik tahun 2011 jumlah entrepreneur di Indonesia baru mencapai 0,24%, bandingkan dengan negara lain seperti Malaysia yang telah memiliki entrepreneur sebesar 3%, Singapura 7%, China 10% dan Amerika Serikat 12,5%. Berdasarkan paparan fakta dan kajian yang ada dapat ditarik simpulan bahwa penggalakan entrepreneurship secara nyata oleh pemerintah diyakini akan menjadi sebuah momentum langkah awal bagi peningkatan kemandirian perekonomian Indonesia.

Published: January 2025

Entrepreneurship mahasiswa saat ini menjadi isu menarik di seluruh dunia karena kompetisi untuk lowongan kerja berpendidikan sarjana semakin meningkat. Minat merupakan prediktor terbaik perilaku individu khususnya ketika perilaku tersebut jarang, sulit diamati, dalam jeda waktu yang susah diprediksi. Penelitian ini mencoba menemukan hubungan antara karakteristik mahasiswa dengan minat entrepreneurship berdasarkan hasil kuesioner terhadap 200 mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Universitas Jenderal Soedirman (Unsoed). Data disajikan secara deskriptif dalam bentuk grafik. Variabel yang diamati terdiri dari minat entrepreneurship, gender, angkatan, jenjang, jurusan, suku, pendapatan, keberadaan keluarga yang menjadi entrepreneur, tempat tinggal, partisipasi dalam pelatihan entrepreneurship, aktivitas dalam unit kegiatan mahasiswa, dan IPK. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik responden yang berhubungan dengan minat entrepreneurship adalah angkatan (mahasiswa tahun pertama dan kedua), jenjang (D3), jurusan (manajemen), pendapatan (negatif), keberadaan keluarga yang menjadi entrepreneur, tempat tinggal (kos/jauh dari orang tua), dan aktivitas di unit kegiatan mahasiswa. Pelatihan entrepreneurship dan IPK ternyata tidak berhubungan dengan minat entrepreneurship mahasiswa. Implikasi juga dibahas.
