The aim of the study is to identify and analyze the impact of digital technologies on the development of the intellectual potential of enterprise, as well as to develop recommendations for optimizing these processes in the context of digital transformation. The article examines the impact of digital transformation on the intellectual potential of enterprise, in particular on the organization’s ability to innovative development, effective use of knowledge and adaptation to rapidly changing market conditions. The main approaches to the definition of the concepts of «digitalization» and «digital transformation» are considered, with special attention to their importance in the modern business environment, where technological changes are becoming a key factor of competitiveness. The relationship between digital transformation and the intellectual potential of enterprise is determined. It is emphasized that digital transformation opens up new opportunities for the development of intellectual potential, contributes to its growth and the ability to quickly respond to new challenges. The article focuses on that that intellectual potential is not only the result of digital transformation, but also an important resource that is necessary for the successful implementation of digital technologies and the creation of competitive advantages. The main aspects of the impact of digitalization (as a key component of digital transformation) on the intellectual potential of the enterprise are described, including the improvement of knowledge management, the development of human capital and the increase in the overall efficiency of the enterprise. The article also discusses specific examples of the introduction of digital technologies in government structures and the business environment, illustrating the role of digitalization in increasing the level of knowledge, skills and competencies of employees, as well as its contribution to the overall productivity and innovative development of companies. Based on the carried out analysis, the main challenges faced by enterprises in the course of digital transformation are identified, including: resistance to change, lack of qualified personnel and risks associated with information security. Strategies for overcoming these challenges, which will contribute to the effective use of intellectual potential in the digital economy, are suggested.
Prospects for Financing Women’s Startups under Martial Law
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Klymash Nataliia I.
Published: November 2024

The scientific work examines the problems of gender equality and women’s access to the initiation and implementation of entrepreneurial activity. Certain normative legal documents that regulate the rights of women in the business environment and public life both at the international level and at the national level have been identified. Gender gaps in the parity of opportunities between men and women are analyzed based on the report of the International Economic Forum «Global Gender Gap 2024». It is found that for Ukraine the gender gap comprises 72.2%, and our country ranks 63rd in the global ranking. The lowest value of the sub-index is found in the criterion of women’s political participation: 0.172, which indicates a low affiliation of women in the political life of the country. The author presents a portrait of Ukrainian women entrepreneurs by different groups and social indicators. It is determined that, on average, this is a woman of 30+ years old who has incomplete higher or higher education and mainly lives in the city. Recently, women entrepreneurs have been experiencing significant problems in doing business, which are related to: the consequences of the economic crisis, significant competition in the market, volatility in legislation, corruption and inspections by government agencies. The article discusses the issue of financing startups as a result of women’s innovative entrepreneurship. The gender-based issues that women have to deal with in the implementation of creative, innovative projects are identified. The sources of financing, which, in the author’s opinion, can best meet the needs of the present for business development, are substantiated. The problems of credit financing are outlined, which include: significant cost of credit resources; inability to obtain a loan at the stage of foundation of the enterprise; stereotypical, biased attitude towards women’s entrepreneurship and the risk of losing business in case of unfavorable economic conditions.
Modeling the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on the Economic Development of Countries
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Bida Marianna B.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the impact of foreign direct investment (net inflows, net outflows) on the economic development of countries with an emphasis on modeling this impact through the gross domestic product (GDP) indicator. The aim of the study is to develop econometric models that allow to quantify the contribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) to the economic development of countries, in particular Ukraine, the countries of the European Union and the world. To achieve the aim of the study, the methodology of correlation and regression analysis was used, which made it possible to identify the relationship between FDI and the economic development of countries, to assess the significance and efficiency of foreign investment. Paired linear regression equations have been built, the significance and quality of the parameters of econometric models have been checked, in particular, the values of the correlation and determination coefficients have been calculated, and the relationship between the resulting features and dependent variables has been assessed. With the help of the Student’s t-test, conclusions are made to confirm the statistical significance of the model regression coefficients, and through the F-test, the statistical reliability of the regression equations is verified. An analysis of the impact of FDI on the GDP of Ukraine, the EU and the world revealed significant differences in the relationship between these economic variables, which can be explained by different economic and structural features. The greater impact of FDI on Ukraine’s GDP compared to the EU and the world is due to the economic structure, the level of investment attractiveness, the need for external capital and vulnerability to external shocks. It is found that a significant part of Ukraine’s GDP depends on foreign investment, which stimulates economic growth by creating new enterprises, jobs and increasing productivity. The outflow of FDI from Ukraine has a direct impact on the economic stability and investment attractiveness of the country. The article emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to modeling the impact of FDI on GDP, which will contribute to more effective economic development and stability of countries. The results of the simulation can be useful for governments, enterprises and investors in the formation of strategies for attracting and managing foreign investment.

Published: November 2024

The aim of the article is to allocate the components of the phenomenon of trust in e-commerce, identify models of trust and generalize the factors that ambiguously affect its strengthening. The search for ways to restore the Ukrainian economy actualizes the study of e-commerce, which has already become a catalyst for economic growth in many countries around the world. In today’s environment, building trusting relationships in the field of e-commerce is critical for the success of online businesses. It is proved that trust is a basic condition for the interaction of participants in online commercial activities. The fundamental structure of trust in e-commerce includes interpersonal, institutional, and digital constructs. In the current trust structure, one of the components that determines the overall trust of the online consumer is a priority. Different models of trust in e-commerce, presented today in different business systems, are a reflection of changes in the fundamental structure and are embodied in the current structure of trust. The challenges of developing trust in e-commerce are driven by cultural values, generational attitudes, and the level of digital maturity of the online consumer, so that building a trajectory for building trust in e-commerce depends on their awareness. In the current environment, the use of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in e-commerce creates new challenges for strengthening digital trust, as the reliability and accuracy of information obtained by a machine is questioned without taking into account factors that are subjective and non-obvious. Today, a transitional model of trust is relevant for Ukrainian e-commerce, due to the transformation of economic institutions and deformations of the socio-demographic structure. The development of e-commerce in Ukraine is constrained by a low level of institutional trust, cybersecurity problems, restrictions related to the quantitative and qualitative composition of potential online consumers, etc.

Published: November 2024

Em tempos difíceis, de constantes negligências do direito à vida e à saúde, é preciso criticar aqueles que detêm o poder e que, historicamente, não priorizam as políticas públicas de enfrentamento das desigualdades. Em momentos de crise, como os vividos na pandemia de Covid-19, os marcadores sociais da diferença escancararam as desigualdades de acesso à saúde em relação a grupos vulneráveis. Assim, a argumentação apresentada tem por objetivo refletir acerca das possibilidades de diálogo e aproximação das letras de rap com o trato pedagógico da temática da saúde coletiva na Educação Física escolar (EFE). Para tanto, realizamos um ensaio teórico conectando o álbum Holocausto Urbano dos Racionais MC’s e as Pedagogias Críticas da EFE. Concluímos que as letras de rap apresentam sentidos críticos de saúde possíveis de serem tematizados nas aulas de EFE, sobretudo porque questionam as estruturas de poder, as relações étnico-raciais e os condicionantes e determinantes de saúde.
EU Accession of Western Balkan States: The Role of CEFTA and WTO Membership
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Skrynka Dmytro
Published: November 2024

The Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) is known to have positively affected the EU accession of several central and eastern European states. The fairly modest progress of EU accessions of Western Balkan states is in stark contrast to the processes of the EU accession of the parties to the original version of CEFTA. This article analyses the role of WTO membership as an external factor determining the efﬁcacy of CEFTA in advancing the process of EU integration in the Western Balkans (2007–2024). The article identiﬁes two key advantages of WTO membership in the context of CEFTA’s role in the process of EU accession. The ﬁrst advantage is related to the use of WTO dispute settlement to ensure compliance with standards either identical or similar to those established by CEFTA. The second advantage is based on the relatively new WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), aimed at eliminating many of the barriers to international trade, which happen to be the key problems as regards regional economic integration in the Western Balkans. The article concludes that WTO membership could play a decisive role for the coordinated and efﬁcient process of the European integration of Western Balkan states on the basis of CEFTA.

Modeling of the interaction of stressful components agricultural production
Authors: Koliada Yurii , Semashko Kateryna , Shatarska Inna
Published: November 2024

There is a completely natural, organic nonlinear relationship between crop production and animal husbandry, which are crucial components of agricultural production in Ukraine. Timely and appropriate management of these subsystems contributes to the stable growth of the country’s agriculture with minimal risk. This approach requires improvements in terms of the digitalization of the economy, particularly in the context of applying computer modeling to the nonlinear processes of interaction between these components.
The article develops a modern methodology for computer modeling of an economic management object—a thorough study of a nonlinear dynamic model of the VolterraLotka class, featuring a component that characterizes the increase in livestock profitability due to feed supply. The model takes into account various influencing factors, allowing for the assessment of the efficiency of the interaction between crop production and animal husbandry at different stages of agricultural production. The study examines the behavior of the dynamic model in the vicinity of the leverage point, analyzing the modeled trend dependencies and statistical components: in the vicinity of the equilibrium point, there are oscillatory movements with a certain defined period, and the solutions of the mathematical model, i.e., integral curves, over time reflect the seasonal nature of the interaction between crop production and animal husbandry.
The behavior of virtual scenarios—integral curves and phase portraits based on the mathematical model of nonlinear interaction of agricultural production components—wasstudied, showing the location of the equilibrium point, extreme points, and other critical points for the respective curves in a specific coordinate system. A transition to a dimensionless dynamic model and an economic interpretation of its implicit solution were indicated. Additionally, the impact of external economic factors on the stability of the system was analyzed, allowing for better forecasting of potential risks and the preparation of appropriate strategies to minimize them.
For the first time, an approximate numerical estimate of the economic risk measure of the evolution of the interaction and interplay of agricultural subsystems over time was carried out in the study of the nonlinear dynamic model of the economic management object.
The obtained results can be used to improve management strategies in the agricultural sector, particularly to enhance the stability of production processes and reduce economic risks in the context of market instability and climate change. This research provides new opportunities for effective planning and the implementation of innovations in Ukraine’s agricultural sector.
Strategy of balanced territorial development in EU countries

Published: November 2024

The path to closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union (EU) was marked by important milestones and strategic agreements. From the first declaration of intent in the 1990s to the landmark Association Agreement, the trajectory reflects a deepening commitment to promote political association and economic integration.
Ukraine’s obtaining the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union and the start of negotiations on the integration of Ukraine into the EU emphasize the emergence of economic opportunities for the country, in particular, when we formulate a strategy for its post-war recovery. At the same time, significant corrections in the task that Ukraine is solving today against the background of its European integration aspirations bring the consequences of Russia’s military aggression, which bring not only human losses, the occupation of certain territories, but also the destruction of places, villages and vital infrastructure, the restoration of which depends on the possibility of returning people to normal living conditions. No less critical is the situation with the adaptation in the host communities of people and enterprises that relocate from the occupied territories and territories to the war zone. There are structural changes in the sectoral specialization of territories in connection with the relocation of business.
The problems of management of sustainable development of territorial communities are devoted to the works of such domestic scientists as O.V. Bezugliy, O.I. Vasylieva, O.K. Gordeev, T.A.

Introduction: Thyroid disorders are increasingly prevalent, with a higher incidence in women, particularly postmenopausal women. Symptoms of menopause, such as irritability, hot flushes, fatigue, and weight gain, often overlap with those of thyroid dysfunction, complicating diagnosis. Identifying thyroid dysfunction in this population is crucial for improving their overall health and preventing complications like cardiovascular diseases, which are associated with untreated thyroid disorders. Methodology: A hospital-based, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 170 postmenopausal women attending a general health check-up at a tertiary care center in Kathmandu. Ethical approval was obtained from the IRC, and data were collected on thyroid function, including the incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism, and overt hyperthyroidism. Data were analyzed using SPSS, with descriptive and inferential statistics used to assess the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its potential impact on cardiovascular risk and overall health. Results: The average age of participants was 60.59 years. Among the study population, clinical thyroid disorders were observed in 3.53% of participants, with clinical hyperthyroidism at 1.18% and clinical hypothyroidism at 2.35%. Subclinical thyroid disorders were more prevalent, with subclinical hypothyroidism affecting 11.76% and subclinical hyperthyroidism 4.12% of the participants. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of screening for thyroid disorders in postmenopausal women, as 3.53% of participants had clinical thyroid conditions and 15.88% had subclinical disorders. Early detection and treatment of these conditions are crucial for improving patient outcomes and preventing related health complications.

Zoonotic infections are group of contagions that are transmitted from animals to humans. These are acquired from domestic and wild animals by different routes. Presentation can vary between systemic and cutaneous manifestation. A granuloma is a skin manifestation, that is named due to its appearance under a microscope. A wide range of skin pathologies exist, where granulomas are a prominent feature of their presentation. We report a case of a patient who presented with a solitary lesion on her hand, reminiscent of granulomata, following a trip to India where she was involved in washing elephants. Interestingly, the lesion exhibited similar features to that of fish tank granuloma, but there was no history of cleaning fish tanks or aquariums.

La necesidad de estudiar detenidamente las relaciones comerciales entre naciones se presenta como una imperiosa tarea. En ese sentido, la presente investigación examina el análisis espejo en las exportaciones de los productos más importantes de Ecuador y Perú 2018-2022 y su incidencia en la Balanza Comercial de la CAN. Se explica, que la problemática central que aborda el estudio gira en torno al impacto de la concentración de exportaciones entre Ecuador y Perú en productos específicos sobre la balanza comercial de la CAN, resaltando la necesidad de diversificar las exportaciones para fortalecer la estabilidad económica y la resiliencia financiera de la región. De esta manera, plantea como objetivo principal, estudiar el comercio exterior de Ecuador y Perú, mediante el análisis estadístico espejo en los productos más importantes de intercambio, para identificar su incidencia en la balanza comercial de la Comunidad Andina en el período 2018-2022. Se adopta un enfoque estadístico longitudinal, debido a que se recopilan datos tanto cuantitativos como cualitativos, para evaluar mediante fuentes investigativas confiables como el Banco Central de Ecuador, Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, trade map, libros, revistas y artículos investigativos. De este modo, se emplea estadística descriptiva no experimental de los tres productos más exportados entre Ecuador y Perú en el período comprendido del 2018-2022.  Finalmente, los resultados estadísticos revelan una alta concentración de exportaciones en productos específicos, como el petróleo crudo para Ecuador y minerales como el cobre y el oro para Perú. Esta concentración expone a ambos países a la volatilidad de los precios internacionales, lo que plantea riesgos para la estabilidad económica. A pesar que los resultados impactan de manera positiva a la balanza comercial de la CAN debido al intercambio de flujo comercial, también demuestra la precisión de adoptar medidas coordinadas para reducir la dependencia de productos específicos.

La investigación se centra en la incidencia de la Sentencia No. 200-12-JH/21 de la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador en los derechos del progenitor custodio en casos de recuperación de menores retenidos indebidamente, ello se fundamenta en la creciente preocupación por la vulneración de derechos en estos procesos judiciales, específicamente en la parroquia Tumbaco, cantón Quito. El principal objetivo de esta investigación es analizar cómo la sentencia No. 200-12-JH/21 afecta los derechos del custodio en estos casos de recuperación de menores retenidos indebidamente. Para alcanzar este propósito, se plantean varios objetivos específicos que guiarán la investigación los cuales son identificar los derechos del custodio según la sentencia, evaluar su aplicación en la práctica, y proponer recomendaciones para mejorar la protección de estos derechos. Se utiliza un enfoque mixto, con técnicas que incluyen revisión bibliográfica, observación directa en la Unidad Judicial de Familia de Tumbaco, revisión de casos judiciales y triangulación de métodos para validar los resultados. Se emplean los métodos histórico, exegético, inductivo y lógico para un análisis comprensivo. La investigación revela que existe una correlación entre el uso inadecuado de la sentencia  y  la incertidumbre y riesgos de decisiones arbitrarias, afectando negativamente la protección de los derechos del progenitor custodio y el interés superior del niño, siendo necesario mejorar su aplicación mediante recomendaciones específicas que fortalezcan la defensa y protección de los derechos del custodio y del menor en los procesos judiciales.

En el ámbito laboral todos los trabajadores se exponen a desarrollar problemas de salud física y mental, en el caso particular del ejercicio docente se deriva fundamentalmente del sedentarismo, mala alimentación y manejo del estrés; por lo cual el objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar un programa de promoción de la salud física y mental en los docentes de la Unidad Educativa Huambaló.
Se utilizó una metodología de investigación descriptiva de enfoque cuantitativo, basada en el reglamento de promoción de la salud en el trabajo del acuerdo ministerial 00049 del Ministerio de Salud Pública del Ecuador; se utilizaron las 4 etapas del plan de promoción: 1) Evaluación, esta etapa se efectuó por medio del cuestionario Condiciones de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo desarrollado por la Universidad Internacional SEK del Ecuador; mientras que las prácticas de vida saludable física y mental se utilizó las encuestas de estilos de vida saludable y riesgo psicosocial. 2) Identificación, etapa que se realizó mediante la matriz de identificación de peligros y estimación de riesgos (IPER). 3) Selección, esta etapa se ejecutó mediante la elabora de 8 manuales de las actividades para la promoción de la salud física y mental. 4) Implementación, esta fase se cumplió con el diseño de procesos y procedimientos que se incluirán en la planificación del período lectivo de la institución.
Los resultados demuestran que los trabajadores se exponen a factores de riesgo mecánico, ergonómico y psicosocial. Además, que el clima laboral no es el más adecuado en relación con el ritmo y carga de trabajo, por lo cual el tiempo de recuperación y la relación social del personal es deficiente, situación que afecta a su salud mental. Los docentes presentan dificultades para llevar una alimentación y actividad deportiva adecuada, que les vuelve propensos a sobrepeso y obesidad, exponiéndoles a enfermedades cardiovasculares. Finalmente, para hacer frente a esta problemática se diseñaron y ejecutaron 8 actividades de promoción de la salud física y mental.
Se concluye que el factor clave para mantener el programa de salud física y mental en la Unidad Educativa Huambaló, es el compromiso de todos los integrantes de la institución.
