Abstract. Website-Based Application for Checking Students’ Digital Assignment. Nowadays, technology is not only about computers as it has advanced to smartphones and other things. In UKMC, technology has certainly helped the job. However, in this university, there is no application for checking the plagiarism of the students’ digital assignments, whereas plagiarism is sometimes done by students when working on assignments from online sources. Students’ assignments can be easily done by doing copy and paste without mentioning its reference because students tend to think practically when working on assignments. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited in education because it is not permitted. Therefore, a plagiarism detection application should be created. It applies a string-matching algorithm in text documents to search the common words between documents. By applying the string-matching method in document that match with other documents, an output that will provide information on how similar the text documents are can be generated. After testing, it is obtained that this application can help lecturers and students to reduce the level of plagiarism.Keywords: Application, Plagiarism, Digital, Assignment Abstrak.

Nowadays, the pressure for enhanced attention to critical infrastructure security and the focused concern on threats emanating from both domestic and foreign terrorist groups have fostered new challenges for Petrochemical Seaports and Offshore Terminals (PSOTs). These tendencies dictate to maintain comprehensive security regimens that can be integrated with national and international strategies to support the country’s security against terrorism. Therefore, the need for a Security Risk Management (SRM) programme will be an essential part of the business of running a seaport particularly if the addressed port or terminal is handling hazardous chemicals produced from a nearby plant or refinery for export purposes. As a result, by the use of a case study in this paper, the identified security risk factors for an offshore Single Point Mooring (SPM) terminal located inshore side of the seaport of Mina al Fahal in Sultanate of Oman will be assessed by introducing its designated Security Risk Factor Table (SRFT) in order to examine the vulnerability of the addressed terminal. Consequently, the proposed framework can be used by intelligence analysts or port security and risk managers for the protection of these critical infrastructures. Suitable mitigation measures and further treatments for lessening the impact of a successful terrorist attack or potential likelihood of other threats in PSOTs facilities will be studied carefully.

IKLAN LAYANAN MASYARAKARAT MENYIKAPI FENOMENA PENGABAIAN PADA ANAK
Authors: Taju Fransisca Sherly
Published: November 2020

Ide penciptaan karya ini berupa perancangan Iklan Layanan Masyarakat (ILM) yang mengungkapkan tentang ‘kebiasaan’ orangtua yang tak sadar membuat jarak dengan anaknya. Media yang digunakan adalah poster yang disesuaikan dengan target audience, yakni ibu muda yang berada di kota-kota besar/metropolitan, dari kalangan menegah ke atas dan memiliki waktu luang namun kurang peka terhadap anaknya. Dengan menggunakan teknik fotografi ‘good eye’ yang memiliki kesan realis dan konsep black white agar lebih dapat menonjolkan ajakan bagi ibu untuk tetap sadar akan ikatan emosional langsung dengan anak. Dengan model komunikasi AIDCA: (Attention) (Interest) (Desire) (Conviction (Action) maka perancangan ini diharapkan mampu menyasar audience dengan cara yang tepat. Penggunaan Teori Hegemoni Gramsci diambil guna menyadarkan otoritas orang tua sebagai sarana kultural maupun ideologis dalam berkomunikasi dengan anak, karena munculnya fenomena pengabaian terhadap anak, sehingga aspek komunikasi tidak berfungsi secara maksimal atas perilakunya terhadap anak yang berakibat ikatan emosional dengan anak berkurang. Pada perancangan ini menggunakan perbandingan yang digunakan untuk mengkritik perasaan orangtua, agar nantinya tersadarkan akan peran sesungguhnya yaitu ibu yang paling berhak mendidik anaknya sebagai generasi penerus.

The objective of this study was to conduct comparative analysis of the immediate and long-term results of laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty performed with and without fixation of the mesh endoprosthesis.

Methods and materials. The base group included 77 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty without fixation of the mesh by herniostepler. The control group included 76 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with mesh fixation by herniostepler. To assess the postoperative period, the following criteria were studied: the severity of postoperative pain on a Visual Analog Scale; postoperative complications on the Clavien-Dindo scale; an early recurrence of inguinal hernias determined by ultrasound.

Results. In both groups, the severity of postoperative complications did not exceed grade I. Among the entire list of complications, there were observed: pain in the area of surgery, an increase in body temperature above 38.5 °C, acute urinary retention, swelling and hematoma of the scrotum, seroma. There were no cases of conversion, intraoperative damage to internal organs and vascular structures. Complications in both groups do not differ significantly and do not depend on the method of laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty: with fixation of the endoprosthesis by herniostepler or without fixation. The level of pain in the early postoperative period in patients operated by laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with mesh fixation was significantly higher. During control examinations of patients on the day after surgery, at the time of discharge and 6 months after surgery, no cases of dislocation of mesh endoprosthesis and relapse of inguinal hernia were detected.

Conclusion. The obtained data indicate the effectiveness of laparoscopic hernioplasty in inguinal hernias with polypropylene mesh without fixing with herniostepler.

Introduction. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard method of local excision of benign colon tumors. Nevertheless, it is not widely used because of its technical difficulty and risk of complication especially in right colon. The OBJECTIVE was to improve the results of treatment of patients with right colon neoplasms.

Methods and materials. The results of 152 consecutive patients (median age 66 years, 88 female) with lateral spreading tumors (LST) were analyzed. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate risk factors of conversion and complications.

Results. ESD as planned performed in 133 out of 152 patients. Conversion to bowel resection occurred in 19 cases. In the logistic regression model, lifting less than 3 mm (p=0.034) was independent risk factor of the conversion. Postoperative complications up to 30 days occurred in 5 out of 133 (3.8 %) of patients underwent ESD. There was no mortality after ESD. Severe fibrosis the base of the neoplasm was the only risk factor of postoperative complications (95 % CI=1.0—1.2; p=0.007). Final pathology revealed that 127 out of 133 patients (95.5 %) had adenomas and 6 out of 133 (4.5 %) patients had early adenocarcinomas. R0 resections was performed in 94/133 (70.7 %) cases.

Conclusions. ESD is the safe and efficient method of local excision of benign right colon neoplasms. Unfavorable lifting (p=0.05) and submucosal fibrosis (p=0.007) are risk factors of ESD failure.

Authors: Bessette Hayley , Chew Caitlin , Kapanen Anita , Reardon Jillian , Yuen Jamie
Published: November 2020

Background: Burnout syndrome is well-documented among healthcare professionals across various practice settings. There has been recent expansion of Canadian pharmacists into team-based primary care and burnout in this setting has not been assessed. Our objective was to assess workplace burnout and to identify factors that play a role in perpetuating or diminishing it.
Method: An online survey to assess burnout was developed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) tool and questions regarding pharmacist background and practice. Invitations to complete the survey were sent to Canadian pharmacists working in team-based primary care settings on November 26, 2019 via a national primary healthcare listserv.
Results: A total of 31/433 completed responses were collected. The main analysis focused on the personal accomplishment (PA) domain as it had an adequate response rate. The PA domain had a median score of 5.0 (95% CI 4.69-5.22). We compared medians of the PA domain across different groups of each categorical variable. We found that the number of years working in primary care settings was positively associated with a higher PA domain score (p= 0.029).
Discussion: PA was higher in pharmacists who have been practicing in a primary care setting for longer; however, burnout rates could not be properly assessed due to the limited response rate.
Conclusion: This is the first study to assess burnout among Canadian team-based primary care pharmacists. Personal accomplishment was higher in those who have been practicing in a primary care setting for longer. Future studies should consider alternate methods to evaluate burnout in this population.

Os monarquistas e o Plebiscito de 1993: construções da memória e das representações
Authors: Biluczyk Roberto
Published: November 2020

O Plebiscito sobre a Forma e o Sistema de Governo foi aprovado na Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (1987-1988), efetivando-se em 21 de abril de 1993. Os principais articuladores do expediente eleitoral foram os apoiadores da forma de governo monárquica e do sistema de governo parlamentarista. Ambas as ideias foram previamente rejeitadas nos debates sobre a nova Carta Magna. O Movimento Parlamentarista Monárquico precisou viabilizar sua campanha e se apresentar à sociedade, uma vez que seu ideário, até então, se encontrava oculto por força de lei imposta em 1889. Para isso, recorreu a recursos memorialísticos embasados no senso comum e na superficialidade, criando uma memória própria pormeio das representações, objetivando convencer o eleitor de que monarquia era sinônimo dedesenvolvimento político ao país. Os referidos materiais serão revisados e analisados a partir de conjuntos de ideias ligados especialmente à História Cultural, procurando-se oferecer uma visão diferenciada sobre o referido movimento de contestação da política nacional, ainda poucoexplorado pela historiografia.

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender, através do percurso de vida de um personagem, os mais diversos aspectos do viver na Povoação de Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso, fundada em 1702, no sertão do Piancó, localizada no extremo oeste da Capitania da Paraíba.Para isso, contamos com fontes cartoriais – livros de notas, testamentos e inventários – e eclesiásticas – livros de batismo – produzidas localmente ao longo de todo o século XVIII. Quando bem questionadas, além de evidenciar as dinâmicas administrativa e econômica, essas fontes possibilitam acessar faces, por vezes esquecidas ou desprezadas pelahistoriografia, de uma cultura material sertaneja setecentista. Conseguir terras, possuir gados, ter escravos, construir arranjos familiares, assegurar uma “boa morte” e quiçá deixar um legado à família foram preocupações que acompanhavam a vida dos homens do sertão, sobretudo daqueles que detinham ou buscavam adquirir capital simbólico e material. Dessafeita, através da trajetória do alferes Pedro Soares da Silva, buscaremos traçar uma história social do modus vivendi de sujeitos que integraram círculos das elites locais dos recônditos setecentistas da Paraíba.

The creation of an integral enterprise management system at the present stage is impossible without a properly organized accounting system, which is headed by highly qualified accountants and auditors. Legislative innovations require from specialists in the accounting sphere not only the use of professional knowledge, but also possession of a broad outlook to understand the influence of the external and internal environment in which the enterprise conducts business, in addition, significant attention must be paid to a set of professional principles, values and ethical norms that in a general sense, they shape the professional culture of accountants and auditors. The functional basis of the professional culture of an accountant and auditor is a moral and legal culture. Characterizing the professional culture of accountants and auditors, it is often identified with professional ethics, that is, a code of rules. Codes of ethics are developed by professional communities of accountants and auditors, taking into account the relevance of global political, economic and social aspects. In 2019, the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, updated by the International Federation of Accountants and the Council on International Ethics Standards for Accountants, came into force, which also includes the International Standards for Auditor Independence, and is recommended for accountants and auditors to observe in order to form their professional culture. The Code requires a professional accountant and auditor to adhere to fundamental principles that take on particular importance during COVID-19 quarantine measures. In order to form a professional culture of an accountant and an auditor, taking into account the fundamental principles and taking into account the activities of specialists in a pandemic and quarantine measures, a model for the formation of a professional culture of accounting and additional professional principles, together with the use of traditional and pro active tools to ensure professional culture, contributes to the growth of both the individual and the qualified specialist, and allows you to increase your competitive position in the labor market.

Published: November 2020

The branch features of the enterprises of housing and communal economy are investigated, that to define necessity of application of advantage of system of the balanced indicators at an estimation of efficiency of their activity. The following advantages of application of the system of balanced indicators are established: expands the information base for calculation of the indicators characterizing efficiency of use of resources; provides information on the depreciation of fixed assets and the organization of the production process; discloses the costs of maintenance, training, retraining and social security of staff; identifies the reasons for non-performance of contractual relations by consumers and service providers. We believe that the shortcomings of the system of balanced scores are: the lack of regulations governing the calculation of the procedure and the threshold values of non-financial indicators for further interpretation; the content of the system of balanced scores can be interpreted differently by different groups of users (consumers, employees, management, investors) depending on the chosen development strategy; requires additional costs and additional professional competencies from management staff for implementation; does not show the impact of accounting policies on financial and non-financial indicators; is subjective. The division of efficiency indicators in terms of financial component (allows to estimate reserves for cost reduction, increase profit and profitability), customer (determines the causes of receivables, allows to identify consumers who were provided with incomplete or inadequate quality of housing and communal services), business processes (technical condition of fixed assets, the number of complaints received from consumers and the period during which the elimination of deficiencies, the cost of resources to improve the condition of services provided), staff (compliance of staff qualifications and labor costs). The order of choosing the strategy of development of the enterprise of housing and communal services depending on its purposes (increase of incomes on the basis of rendering of qualitative services, expansion of the range of services, advanced training of the personnel, management of receivables) is outlined.

The object of the research is the process of determining the level of enterprise competitiveness. It is shown that the existing methods for assessing the level of enterprise competitiveness use different criteria. It has been determined that among these methods the most suitable in modern conditions is the method based on the use of indicators of its competitive potential as criteria for the competitiveness of an enterprise. The main attention is paid to the possibility of using innovative potential as one of the criteria of competitiveness. The paper considered approaches to determining the composition of indicators, with the help of which the level of innovative potential of a communications enterprise, its assessment, and its application in the process of a generalized assessment of the level of enterprise competitiveness are determined. In the course of the research, the following scientific methods were used, such as a methodological analysis of scientific literature, a comparative, abstract-logical and systemic method. The analysis of existing approaches to assessing the innovative potential of an enterprise has shown that this problem remains unsolved. The reason for the uncertainty is, first of all, the fact that scientists put different meanings into this concept, distinguish different components of the innovative potential. As a result of the study, three requirements were stated - the minimum number of indicators, the availability of information and the avoidance of the influence of other potentials - which should become fundamental in identifying indicators for analyzing the innovative potential and using it in assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise. The studies performed will contribute to a more effective use of the method for assessing the competitiveness of an enterprise based on the use of its competitive potential, and to increase the efficiency of management decisions made on the basis of this assessment.

The article considers the best practices of project management for the development of UTC in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the successful experience of implementing infrastructure and social projects, energy saving projects, waste sorting and recycling, tourism, participatory budgeting and industrial development, and attracting investment from small integrated territorial communities. A number of shortcomings in the implementation of UTC development projects have been identified, which mainly relate to excessive budget expenditures on landscaping projects without creating appropriate conditions for business development, industrial production and expansion of local budget sources. It is noted that the information campaign on the implementation of UTC development projects should be continuous and reach a larger audience. Based on the analysis of best practices in the implementation of UTC development projects, it is argued that the main driving force of sustainable development of a united community is not staff skills or sufficient funding, but creativity, cohesion and strategic vision of community transformation. In particular, it has been proved that without great financial opportunities many successful UTC s managed to organize waste sorting and processing, economic cooperatives, factories, festivals, widely implement participatory budget and energy saving projects, construction of solar power plants, etc. An important element in building a prosperous community has been their participation in various grants, which have become one of the reliable sources of project funding. As recommendations, it is proposed to create a community development fund, improve strategic planning to create conditions for the development of value-added production in communities and the introduction of crowdfunding to accumulate funds for projects. The study of community development in Ukraine's neighboring countries for the implementation of best practices into domestic realities has been identified as promising areas for further research.

In recent decades, in world and domestic science there has been an increased interest in the study of problems that are somehow related to the phenomenon of the image of the educational institution. The growing interest in these issues is understandable for the following reasons. There is a formation of new socio-economic conditions of the organization, reforming the education system, globalization of the market of educational services and as a consequence of increased competition. The level of values that previously guided consumers of educational services is also changing. Which in turn affects the formation and development of the educational institution, as well as creates a need for effective image management of the organization. In this regard, each educational institution faces the task of maintaining autonomy and increasing educational potential through the use of modern management technologies. One of the important factors influencing the formation of the preferences of the target audience is the image of the educational institution. Due to the fact that intangible factors and tools are becoming increasingly important, they influence the choice of potential consumers of the educational institution. The article considers the main definitions of the concept of the image of the educational institution, its components, the impact of the image on the competitiveness of the educational institution and the main problems in image formation. Ways to improve the image in relation to the external and internal environment of the school are summarized.

Published: November 2020

The issues of calculation of cost and the registration of expenditures have always been topical, especially that they are intended to the reorientation of the accumulated experience of accounting at the direction of the solution of new problems. The decisions of the managing circle can be effective if they are based on the analysis of the relationships between cost, volume and profit. During the analytical research, we have studied “cost-volume” and “cost-volume-profit” relations among the most important indices characterizing the industrial activities of the organization, whose analysis has a great role in the matter of the management and control of costs. The analysis of the production cost structure is an important tool to make managerial decisions about the production and sales of output. This allows to estimate the relationships among products selling price, production and sales volumes, marginal profit, direct variable costs per unit of output and fixed costs. Its practical application, in our opinion, will lead to the provision of information for making managerial decisions on the following issues related to the production and economic activity: assessment of marginal profit, contribution margine and financial stability, decisions on the expediency of continuing or stopping the production of the given product, make or buy decisions connected to the raw materials, pricing decisions for the new products, decisions on selection and renewal of production technologies, development of a more effective manufacturing and sales plan.

The innovative activity of the enterprise and its innovative opportunities are characterized by a number of properties, among which the innovative capacity of the business entity should be mentioned. The aim of this study is to establish the role played by the assessment of the innovative capacity of the enterprise to ensure the functioning of the mechanism of innovation management. The three main components of the innovation management mechanism at the enterprise are identified, namely, the set of innovation resources of the enterprise (resource component of the innovation management mechanism), the management subsystem of the enterprise that manages its innovation (management component of the innovation management mechanism at the enterprise) and the set of methodological principles, rules, criteria, methods, etc.), which the management of innovation activities of the business entity (institutional component of the mechanism of innovation management in the enterprise) are based on. It is shown that the functioning of the mechanism of innovation management at the enterprise involves, among other things, the regulation of various parameters of innovation of the business entity. Such parameters include a set of innovations that the company should develop and implement in its business; a set of qualitative forecast characteristics of each innovation; a set of quantitative forecast characteristics of each innovation; a set of qualitative and quantitative planning characteristics of innovative resources of the enterprise; planned (forecast) time parameters of the processes of development, implementation and use of innovations at the enterprise. It is shown that most of these parameters simultaneously characterize the level of existing and future innovation capacity of the enterprise. It is established that the possession of information on the current innovation capacity of the enterprise gives its owners and managers the opportunity to determine which innovations should be implemented at the present time to ensure maximizing the efficiency level of the entity. The main tasks that arise in the process of obtaining information about the innovative capacity of the enterprise are outlined.

Published: November 2020

This paper aims at considering the well-known triad of What? How? Why? somewhat anew by suggesting looking at transformational leadership for successful human resources management through the lens of coaching core competencies as the key soft skill. Arising as the strategic approach to the effective management of people, well-thought human resources management that rests on a leadership model definitely enables management of a company or organization to move ahead of the curve and gain a firm foothold in the job market. The transformational leadership model fits the framework of the research and links to the contrastive line between management and leadership.It is emphasized that management processes focus on (i) maintaining and (ii) improving performance at work, on the one hand, and on the other, unlike management, the transformational leadership model focuses on the benefits of visionary thinking and bringing about change. Following the goal in the subject matter associated with successful HR management, the Golden Circle of What? How? Why?introduced by Simon Sinek finds its way in the description analysis. The Why? sectionopens the idea for successful HR managementto move further to What?section and is accompanied with How? section in the end. The final part of the findings embodies 11 current core competencies of coaching, which illustrate how the ways of implementing the soft skills in workplace may increase HR performance, enhance seamless communication among employees and management, drive change and welcome innovation.The four objectives for successful HR management: (i) drive change within a company or organization, (ii) encourage and motivate people for personal and corporate growth and development, (iii) employ innovation including modern technologies, and (iv) lead by example, correspond to the four cornerstones in the framework for successful company or organization management via transformational leadership. They are: (i) create an inspire vision of the future for the company’s (organization’s) employees, (ii) motivate the staff to live by and deliver the vision, (iii) manage delivery of the vision, (iv) attract and retain high-class professionals and young talents, build up strong and competitive teams, create and grow ever-stronger, trust-based relationships with the employees. The toolkit of ways, techniques and approaches may derive from the current core competencies in coaching that can be groupedsimilarly to the ICF ones as follows: (i) foundation, (ii) co-creating the relationship, (iii) communicating effectively, and (iv) cultivating learning and growth.

The article is devoted to forecasting demand based on the study of consumer behavior and the factors that determine this behavior. Identifying trends and assessing the impact of seasonality on demand generation is the first challenge in describing typical consumer choice behavior. The consumption effect describes how Habitual buying behaviour is Identifying trends and the seasonality of demand. The solution to the current task was to a retrospective analysis of retail sales. Such issues how the assessment of seasonality, the identification of a general trend, the interdependence of sales of alternative fuels have been researched under this article. The trends noted to decrease in the volume of fuel consumption, differences in the structure of retail turnover, and the total demand for motor fuel should be viewed as behavioral changes in the end-users. While gasoline and gas are mainly sold through the filling stations, the share of diesel fuel sales through filling stations is less than a fifth of the total sales. Structural changes in the retail fuel implication are that the fuel market is being replaced by cheaper substitutes - gas. In this article, we consider that the analysis of seasonality is the initial stage of forecasting the dynamics of demand. Seasonality was estimated for each fuel and for the group of motor fuels as a whole, for retail sales and total fuel consumption. The results of the analysis showed that gasoline and gas sales are moderate seasonality. Diesel fuel is characterized by the greatest amplitude of seasonal fluctuations. The seasonal activity the consuming-industries of diesel fuel explains the dynamics of demand, which is typical for secondary demand goods. Studying seasonality to determine its effect on demand includes: applying a multiplicative seasonality model for analyzing time series of demand and building a model for time series components; calculation of seasonality indices based on the average annual consumption level for prepare data and forecasting dynamics; comparison of peaks of seasonality and the amplitude of non-seasonal demand fluctuations to assess the impact of market factors. The study did not confirm that the seasonality of fuel consumption determines the seasonality of prices; no correlation was found between price fluctuations and the seasonality factor.

The article examines the competitive status and competitive positions of Ukraine. It proves that in the current context the competitive status of the national economy is determined by the presence of a strong global competitive force that provides dynamic growth based on innovation potential, developed institutions, infrastructure, ICT adoption, macroeconomic stability, health, skills, product market, labor market, financial system, market size, business dynamism rather than by traditional factors (natural resources, geopolitical situation). It has been identified that a wide range of factors in global competitive force establishment suggests the complexity of its assessment. It has been noted that in world economic practice the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum is predominantly used to assess the competitive status of the national economy. It has been determined that according to this index, in the overall ranking among 141 countries in 2019, Ukraine ranked 85th (2009-2010 – 82/133; 2018 – 83/140). The article analyzes of the competitive status of Ukraine in the international arena in terms of twelve pillars of the studied index and in the context of components of the said pillars. The dynamics of Ukraine's global competitive force in recent years shows that there has not been any build up. However, if one analyzes it in terms of the criteria of the global competitive force of the domestic economy, their assessment is volatile: the main regression can be traced in the sphere of the financial system, where Ukraine dropped by 19 positions in one year (2018 – 117/140, 2019 – 136/141), and the greatest progress is observed in the product market, where Ukraine rose by 16 positions in one year (2018 – 73/140, 2019 – 57/141). Analysis of the components of Ukraine’s global competitive force criteria shows that the worst positions in terms of such components are as follows: non-performing loans (% of gross total loans) – 139/141 and soundness of banks – 131/141. The best positions are in terms of the following components: costs of starting a business – 14/141 and attitude towards entrepreneurial risk – 18/141.

This article overviews the task of choosing the optimal payment system for e-commerce enterprises. The relevance of the topic is due to the increasing role of communication technologies for business processes, trends towards globalization, an increase in the share of payments made via the Internet, as well as an increase in the volume of the e-commerce market as a separate field of business activity. The topic of the settlement transactions, the specifics of accounting for enterprises in the field of e-commerce and the study of payment systems were researched by a lot of ukrainian and foreign scientists. But the problem of the methodology for choosing an optimal payment system for enterprises was not previously discussed (only articles on choosing the PS for the banking). This aspect (the problem of choosing ) is even more important and requires attention because of the presence of a large number of PS (83 payment systems, according to the published list on the NBU website) and the importance of such element for the enterprise for minimizing the cost of out settlement fees, as well as avoiding of restrictions on making payments with foreign counterparties, certain types of currency, and so on. To select the optimal payment system for an enterprise, we offer an algorithm scheme which contains the following stages: 1. Determination of the company's strategy and further development vector. 2. Identification of the specifics of settlement transactions as for the studied enterprise. 3. Using the method of expert assessments to establish the gradation of the main criteria for choosing a PS. 4. Selection of the most relevant applicants (PS) according to the main criteria to reduce the selection. 5. Using the scale of relative advantages and applying the method of pairwise comparisons, select the best applicant (s). The use of this method of mathematical modeling is preferable due to the ability to take into consideration the specific preferences of an individual enterprise, as well as all the multifactorial selection matrix. The article provides a task-example of applying this method. Special attention should be paid to the accounting and analytical data necessary for the application of such an analysis: the dynamics of indicators in the Financial Statements, analysis of the territorial affiliation of the main counterparties, the average amount of transaction.
