Authors:   Российская академия народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте Российской Федерации, Самарский филиал, Комаров Вадим
Published: June 2024

В статье рассмотрены основные подходы отечественных организаций к реализации программ трудовой адаптации. Цель. Проведён анализ ключевых социально-психологических и организационных аспектов и методов управления процессом трудовой адаптации, этапность реализации программ адаптации. Метод. Для теоретико-методологического анализа были рассмотрены актуальные работы по социальной психологии и с междисциплинарным походом — проведён обзор подходов в трактовке понятий «социально-психологическая адаптация» и «трудовая адаптация», рассмотрены практические методы осуществления процессов организации трудовой адаптации, формирования и реализации программ адаптационных мер. В статье отражены также особенности осуществления наставничества как важной составляющей реализации программ трудовой адаптации. В качестве иллюстрации влияния организационной культуры на ход реализации программ трудовой адаптации в статье приведены некоторые результаты комплексного исследования различных организационных культур. Результаты. Отмечается недостаточное внимание к вопросам организации адаптации персонала в современных российских организациях и недостаточная выраженность элементов организационных культур, таких как сотрудничество работников, взаимовыручка, обмен знаниями и опытом, играющих важную роль в реализации мероприятий адаптации новых работников. На основе проведённого теоретического анализа и данных исследований автором предложены критерии оценки результатов трудовой адаптации и типовая структура программы трудовой адаптации, которую можно использовать при планировании и анализе результативности адаптационных мероприятий на основе понимания степени включённости в процессы его ключевых субъектов: адаптанта — наставника — руководителя — референтной группы (трудового коллектива) — ответственных представителей кадровой службы организации.
Между сопротивлением изменениям и готовностью к ним: библиометрический анализ
Authors:   Высшая школа бизнеса, Национальный исследовательский университет «Высшая школа экономики», Багратиони Константин
Published: June 2024

Цель. Исследование подходов к сопротивлению изменениям и готовности к изменениям с точки зрения их различия. Методология и дизайн исследования. Были сформулированы следующие исследовательские вопросы: 1) какие направления исследования отношения к изменениям существуют в научном дискурсе? и 2) в чём отличие понимания сопротивления от понимания готовности к изменениям в этих работах? Для ответа на сформулированные исследовательские вопросы был проведён библиометрический анализ всех англоязычных статей, опубликованных в журналах первого квартиля (Q1) между 1948 и 2022 гг. в категории «Управление, бизнес и бухгалтерия», посвящённых отношению к организационным изменениям. В основу анализа был положен «метод совместного цитирования» с целью сужения выборки из 21162 статей до наиболее значимых 258 статей. В работе использовались анализ совместного цитирования и тематический анализ. Результаты. Определены четыре основных направления исследований, связанных с сопротивлением изменениям и готовностью к изменениям: 1) «индивидуально-психологическое» направление, 2) «групповое» направление, 3) «институциональное и стратегическое» направление, 4) «агентское» направление. Выводы. Установлено, что сопротивление изменениям и готовность к изменениям имеют разные предпосылки. Подчёркивается различие подходов для работы с сопротивлением изменениям и неготовностью к изменениям. Преодоление сопротивления изменениям реактивно и требует от лидера активного участия в процессе, например, трансформационного поведения, поддержки сотрудников и разрешения конфликтов. Это отличает его от проактивного создания готовности к изменениям, которое может быть ориентировано преимущественно на информирование сотрудников. Практическая ценность. Руководство зачастую воспринимает своих подчинённых как единую социальную группу с общими целями, в то время как наличие разных подгрупп требует гораздо более тонкого подхода к управлению изменениями. Необходимо формировать программы, направленные как на преодоление сопротивления, так и на формирование готовности.

Цель. Цель исследования — выявить особенности в удовлетворённости жизнью, степенью фрустрации, а также невротизации и личностной тревожности у сотрудников с вертикальным типом карьеры. Метод исследования. Исследование проводилось в два этапа: на первом этапе опрошены 447 сотрудников российских предприятий, занятых в различных сферах деятельности. При определении типа карьерного развития учитывались указания руководителя и самооценка работника, продвижение по служебной иерархии, рост уровня ответственности и заработной платы. Итоговая выборка включила 276 сотрудников в возрасте от 25 до 55 лет, имеющих опыт трудовой деятельности не менее трёх лет. Группу сотрудники с вертикальным типом карьерного роста составили 108 чел. Остальные (168 чел.) составили группу сравнения. На втором этапе использовались психодиагностические методики: Шкала удовлетворённости жизнью Э. Динера в адаптации Е. Н. Осина и Д. А. Леонтьев; методика диагностики уровня невротизации Л. И. Вассермана в модификации В. В. Бойко; методика «Определение состояния фрустрации» В. В. Бойко; методика «Шкала личностной тревожности» Ч. Д. Спилбергера в адаптации Ю. Л. Ханина. Статистическая обработка собранных данных проведена в программе IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0. Результаты. Выявлены значимые различия в эмоционально-личностных характеристиках между двумя группами. У сотрудников с вертикальным типом карьеры удовлетворённость жизнью выше, а степень фрустрации, тревожности, невротизации ниже, чем у сотрудников с горизонтальным типом карьерного роста. Практическая значимость. Результаты могут применяться для консультирования по вопросам выбора карьеры, вторичной профессионализации, профессионального выгорания, профессиональной деформации, профессионального имиджа. Работнику важно выработать собственные критерии профессионального роста; определить скорость развития и понять, осуществляется ли оно в принципе.

Purpose. The study aims at revealing the role and meaning of perceived leader expectations and beliefs in nurses’ high performance. Study design. This qualitative descriptive study included ten nurses and two supervisors who were selected using purposive sampling technique and theirs two supervisors. Data were collected by semi-structured interviewing and evaluated using content analysis. Findings. The data revealed four themes of the Pygmalion effect on nurses’ performance, and these themes represented four consecutive steps of the pygmalion effect. These themes stated as the “Pygmalion process” were conceptualized as 1) formation, 2) transmission, 3) perception and internalization, 4) reflection, respectively. Leaders’ expectations about nurses’ performance and success, and their beliefs about nurses’ abilities were found to be important for nurses. When these beliefs and expectations were perceived by nurses, they resulted in high performance. Nurses, who perceived positive expectations conveyed by leaders through different channels, had the tendency to respond to these expectations with high performance. This expectation effect emerged within a four-stage process, and this process included the emergence of the expectation which was formed before the first impression, and the steps of a complex process transmitted through many verbal, nonverbal, formal and informal communication channels. Research limitations. the small number of participants in the study can be considered as the first limitation. The sample size should be increased with more participants (study groups) to develop more comprehensive understanding with future studies. Since the data of the study is based on selfreports, possible response bias can be considered as another potential risk, and this situation was tried to be overcome by interviewing the head nurses as well as the nurses. Considering that positive leader expectations can be an antecedent to different positive organizational outcomes as some other recent studies showed, searching for the relationship of the Pygmalion effect with different outcomeswill contribute to the literature. This study conducted with the nurses examines the Pygmalion effect of the leaders’ positive expectation. For future studies, holistic research can be carried out by choosing healthcare employees using the expectation effect, and other versions such as Galateas and Golem. Value of the results. This is a qualitative study on the relationship between perceived leader expectations and beliefs in nurses’ high performance by evaluating the role of Pygmalion effect.

Published: June 2024

Цель. Цель данного исследования — операционализация понятия «эффективность совместной деятельности разработчиков открытого программного обеспечения». Методология. Исследование выполнено в рамках качественной методологии. Метод сбора данных — полуструктурированное интервью, метод анализа данных — тематический анализ. Выборку составили семь русскоговорящих администраторов проектов (maintainer) по разработке открытого программного обеспечения с опытом руководства проектной командой. Результаты. Основной целью администратор проекта видит стабильный выход необходимых функций и устранение ошибок. Он должен ясно представлять итоговый функционал продукта и разделять это представление с командой. Достижению цели и снижению темпов разработки могут помешать отток членов команды и барьеры распространения знаний между ними. Выводы. Эффективное достижение цели — это добавление в продукт новых функций без необходимости их последующей доработки с минимальными временными затратами и максимальной удовлетворённостью разработчиков совместным трудом. Производительный показатель эффективности определяется как отношение принятых и при этом не отменённых запросов на внесение изменений (pullrequest) ко всем запросам, а также как среднее время обработки запроса на внесение изменений. Социально-психологический показатель эффективности выражается в удовлетворённости разработчиков взаимодействием. Она может быть оценена как с помощью опроса, так и через анализ процесса коммуникации на наличие недовольства действиями другого. Ценность результатов. Предложена операционализация понятия «эффективность» для будущего эмпирического исследования социально-психологических детерминант эффективности совместной деятельности.

Проблема исследования обусловлена необходимостью выявления особенностей мотивации сотрудников и повышения их вовлечённости в период организационных изменений. Цель. Цель исследования заключается в том, чтобы выявить связь между увлечённостью и удовлетворённостью трудом у сотрудников с разным мотивационным комплексом и разными социально-демографическими характеристиками (возраст, позиция в организации). Дизайн исследования. Гипотеза исследования: у сотрудников с разным мотивационным комплексом по-разному проявляется связь между увлечённостью и удовлетворённостью работой. Выборку составили 249 сотрудников российской финансовой организации. Первичные данные собраны в ходе опроса, который включал в себя следующие методики: «Мотивация профессиональной деятельности» К. Замфира в модификации А. А. Реана; «Утрехтская шкала увлечённости работой» В. Шауфели и А. Баккера в адаптации Д. А. Кутузовой; «Удовлетворённость работой» В. А. Розановой. Опросник содержал также вопросы о социально-демографических характеристиках респондентов (пол, возраст, стаж работы, позиция в организации). Результаты. Выявлено преобладание внутренней мотивации у сотрудников данной организации. При этом выделены четыре группы сотрудников, имеющих особенности сочетания комплексов мотивации, увлечённости и удовлетворённости работой. У молодых рядовых сотрудников значимо выше уровень внешней положительной мотивации, а у руководителей наблюдается значимое снижение по сравнению с другими группами сотрудников выраженность внешней отрицательной мотивации. Связь между удовлетворённостью работой и увлечённостью наиболее выражена у молодых рядовых сотрудников, в то время как у молодых руководителей такая связь вообще не обнаружена, а у взрослых руководителей выражена связь между увлечённостью и удовлетворённостью самореализацией в работе. Практическая значимость. Описаны результаты модификации шкалы оценки удовлетворённости работой. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в организационном консультировании по проблемам мотивации и увлечённости сотрудников в период организационных изменений.

Authors:   Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Johennesse Lee-Anne , Pressley Gareth ,   Providence University
Published: June 2024

Emotional intelligence and job satisfaction are important factors in today’s workplace. Academic study and practical integration efforts aim to investigate these factors. Purpose. The primary aim of this study is to examine the extent of emotional intelligence and job satisfaction among tertiary educators in Taiwanese universities. Additionally, the secondary aim involves evaluating the correlation between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Study design. Data was collected using a survey approach and two self-administered questionnaires, namely TEIQue-SF and JSS. The survey revealed that Taiwanese university professors possess a significant level of emotional intelligence. Findings. The findings indicate that these individuals possess a level of job satisfaction that is higher than the average. Furthermore, the findings also suggest that emotionality does not affect thecharacteristics of work, communication, or colleagues, but it does have a significant positive correlation with salary, additional benefits, and performance-based awards. Implication for practice. This impliesthat academics who exhibit a significant degree of emotionality prioritize financial compensation, additional benefits, and performance-based rewards over the nature of their work, communication, and relationships with colleagues.

Цель. Цель исследования состояла в анализе относительных вкладов таких переменных, как «вера в справедливый мир», «вера в конкурентный мир», «оправдание систем», «распространённость и риск получить наказание» в оценку допустимости нечестности в уплате налогов в малом и крупном бизнесе у людей, имевших и не имевших опыт предпринимательской деятельности. Дизайн исследования. В индуктивно-корреляционном исследовании приняли участие 315 человек, из них 86,4% женщин, средний возраст 19,7 (±3,73), 26,4% участника имели опыт предпринимательской деятельности. Респонденты знакомились с четырьмя виньетками, описывающими случаи налоговых нарушений (две в крупном, две в малом бизнесе) и оценивали каждый случай по уровню распространённости, допустимости, риска получить наказание. Далее они заполняли опросники «Вера в конкурентный мир», «Вера в справедливый мир», шкалу «Оправдание политической и экономической системы». Для выявления вкладов социальных верований и прагматических критериев в оценку допустимости нечестности у имеющих и не имеющих опыта предпринимательской деятельности участников использовался метод линейного регрессионного анализа. Результаты. Анализ полученных данных показал различие в структуре вкладов рассмотренных предикторов в оценку допустимости нечестности в крупном и малом бизнесе у людей, имевших и не имевших опыт предпринимательской деятельности. У имевших опыт значимый вклад вносят только распространённость и риск наказания и в оценку допустимости нечестности в крупном, и в малом бизнесе. У не имевших такого опыта допустимость нечестности в крупном бизнесе определяется только верой в конкурентный мир и, с отрицательным знаком — оправданием политической системы, а допустимость нечестности в малом бизнесе — верой в конкурентный мир, оправданием политической системы, распространённостью и риском. Ценность результатов. Полученные результаты дополняют и расширяют представление о факторах, определяющих отношение к нечестности в бизнесе, показывая различие в структуре предикторов, вносящих вклад в оценку допустимости ухода от налогов имевшими и не имевшими опыт предпринимательской деятельности.

Published: June 2024

Цель. Целью работы является разработка и апробация психологического измерительного инструмента — теста-опросника для определения краткосрочности и долгосрочности мотивации как составляющей мотивационного стиля индивида. Долгосрочная мотивация — это индивидуальный мотивационный стиль, при котором человек больше ориентирован на длительныt мотивационные планы и способен на длительных дистанциях возвращаться к определённому виду деятельности. Краткосрочная мотивация — склонность придерживаться коротких мотивационных программ. Краткосрочность и долгосрочность проявляются в таких аспектах поведения человека, как: стремиться к цели на протяжении длительного времени, возвращаться к программам действий на протяжении длительного срока, учитывать долгосрочную временную перспективу при планировании, способность следовать длительным программам планирования, ориентацию на отсроченное вознаграждение. Метод. Методика опроса состоит из двух относительно независимых шкал: «Долгосрочности мотивации», включающей 12 утверждений, и «Краткосрочности мотивации», включающей 11 утверждений. Результаты. Для шкалы долгосрочной мотивации индекс соответствия χ²/df составил 4,47, показатель сравнительного соответствия CFI = 0,909, SRMR = 0,067, RMSEA = 0,077. Омега МакДоналда составила0,768, α Кронбаха – 0,743. Ретестовая надёжность шкалы получена в размере r = 0,85, при p < 0,001 и мощностью измерения (1 – β) = 1, на выборке их 48 человек. Для шкалы краткосрочной мотивации индекс соответствия составил 3, показатель сравнительного соответствия CFI = 0,892, SRMR = 0,045, RMSEA = 0,059. Омега МакДоналда составила 0,717, α Кронбаха 0,707. Ретестовая надёжность шкалы получена в размере r = 0,83, p < 0,001 и и мощностью измерения (1 – β) = 0,99, на выборке из 48 человек. Проверка гендерных различий долгосрочной и краткосрочной мотивации была проведена методом T-критерия, в результате статистически значимых различий не обнаружено. Ценность результатов. Методика может быть использована исследователями в области организационной психологии для изучения мотивации в разрезе временного континуума, а также в более широком контенте — в рамках психологии личности.
Use of tcdC gene sequencing to prevent misidentification of Clostridioides difficile ribotype 176 and 027
Authors: Havrilova Tatiana , Novakova Elena , Lucansky Vincent , Stanclova Andrea , Neuschlova Martina
Published: June 2024

Aim
To compare the sequences of the tcdC gene between Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) strains identified as PCR ribotype 176 and the reference strain C. difficile PCR ribotype 027 and to evaluate the use of the Xpert C. difficile/Epi assay for their differentiation. 
Methods
A total of 45 strains were grown from storage beads. DNA of sufficient quality and quantity for sequencing was extracted from 9 samples. Single consensus sequences of PCR ribotype 176 strains and PCR ribotype 001, PCR ribotype 070 (a control group) were mapped to a reference genome of strain CDI-01 (PCR ribotype 027). 
Results
Four strains (out of seven; 57%) characterized as PCR ribotype 176 had 100% identity of the tcdC gene with the reference strain. The average length of the tcdC gene in these four strains (PCR ribotype 176) was 643 bp, which is 36 bp shorter than the reference genome. Three strains (PCR ribotype 176) had a percentage identity of the tcdC gene in the range of 99.37-100%. Strains 25 (PCR ribotype 001) and 28 (PCR ribotype 070) had a similarity in the range of 95.39-95.63% as a result of different ribotype to the reference strain. 
Conclusion
PCR ribotype 176 strains have almost the same tcdC gene sequence as PCR ribotype 027, resulting in misidentification of this PCR ribotype by the Xpert C. difficile/Epi assay. Information about presumptive positive results based on deletion in the tcdC gene should be treated with caution or disregarded.
When time does not heal all wounds: three decades’ experience of immigrants living in Sweden
Authors: Krupić Ferid , Moravcova Monika , Dervišević Emina , Čustović Svemir , Grbić Kemal , Lindström Parvaneh
Published: June 2024

Aim
To investigate how immigrants from the Balkan region experienced their current life situation after living in Sweden for 30 years or more. 
Methods
The study was designed as a qualitative study using data from interviews with informants from five Balkan countries. The inclusion criteria were informants who were immigrants to Sweden and had lived in Sweden for more than 30 years. Five groups comprising sixteen informants were invited to participate in the study, and they all agreed. 
Results
The analysis of the interviews resulted in three main categories: “from someone to no one”, “labour market”, and “discrimination”. All the informants reported that having an education and life experience was worth-less, having a life but having to start over, re-educating, applying for many jobs but often not being answered, and finally getting a job for which every in-formant was educated but being humiliated every day and treated separately as well as being discriminated against. 
Conclusion
Coming to Sweden with all their problems, having an education and work experience that was equal to zero in Sweden, studying Swedish and re-reading/repeating all their education, looking for a job and not receiving answers to applications, and finally getting a job but being treated differently and discriminated against on a daily basis was experienced by all the in-formants as terrible. Even though there are enough similar studies in Sweden, it is always good to write more to help prospective immigrants and prospective employers in Sweden.
Obesity and atherosclerosis in children
Authors: Mesihović-Dinarević Senka
Published: June 2024

Atherosclerosis, one of the leading causes of death in developed countries is characterized by lumen reduction of blood vessels due to local thickening of internal blood vessels caused by plaque/atheroma. It begins in childhood, goes for a long time without manifesting symptoms, increasing with age it begins to seriously threaten health. The most important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic disease are: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, high fibrinogen, excessive weight, increased level of homocysteine, physical inactivity, heredity and immune response in some diseases. The primary intention of prevention is to preclude the occurrence of risk factors for atherosclerosis, and the secondary is to prevent the development or aggravation of the illness along with the reduction or control of existing risks. There is an increasing number of studies that show that children are overweight, which in adolescence is certainly a risk factor for the onset of many chronic diseases, namely: cardiovascular, type 2 diabetes, orthopedic, and psychological diseases. The obesity epidemic is one of the most serious health problems of today affecting individuals of all ages. Atherosclerosis demands action with the aim of early detection and treatment as well as the reduction of development of risk factors for coronary artery diseases. Finding the most effective preventive measures for obesity in each country requires precise epidemiological data on the number of obese children and youth, as well as on their eating and activity habits.

This comprehensive review aims to delineate the prevailing non-cardiac thoracic injuries occurring in urban environments following initial on-site treatment and subsequent admission to hospital emergency departments. Our study involved a rigorous search within the PubMed database, employing key phrases and their combinations, including "thoracic injury," "thoracic trauma," "haemothorax," "lung contusion," "traumatic pneumothorax," "rib fractures," and "flail chest." We focused on original research articles and reviews. Non-cardiac thoracic injuries exhibit a high prevalence, often affecting poly-trauma patients, and contributing to up to 35% of polytrauma-related fatalities. Furthermore, severe thoracic injuries can result in a substantial 5% mortality rate. This review provides insights into clinical entities such as lung contusion, traumatic haemothorax, pneumothorax, rib fractures, and sternal fractures. Thoracic injuries represent a frequent and significant clinical concern for emergency department physicians and thoracic surgeons, warranting thorough understanding and timely intervention.

Objective: An Internet of Things (IoT) network has constraints on power consumption, processing power and security of end devices in the network. On the other hand, blockchain technology has some difficulties in storage capacity, data privacy, the ability to revoke consent, energy usage, scalability, and speed. To overcome the individual limitations of these two technologies, we integrate these two to propose a new design with an intention to authenticate, secure and share data pertaining to attendance system. In this present work the primary implementation details of our proposed work regarding coding are analyzed and a straightforward solution is offered by using indexing. Methods: Through our proposed work we introduce a multifaceted authentication system for user device substantiation, a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) based blockchain implementation for data sharing and a rule-based access control scheme used for accessing data. Findings: The system can work with unidirectional and bidirectional IoT networks, and the data is stored on blockchain, providing more security to the data generated on the IoT network. Blockchain technology is utilized to offer a solution for certain problems encountered within a widespread network. Furthermore, a multi-factor authentication scheme is introduced and a rule-based access control scheme to access the data. Novelty: The blockchain is emerging which can be used to decentralize management and protect sensitive data. In a blockchain based attendance system, no administrative authority is permitted to modify or erase data. The individual who adds a data entry to the blockchain cannot later deny their involvement in the action. On the blockchain, all of the data and history are accessible to every participant. The blockchain based attendance system needs to offer a database that can be trusted, secure, and impossible to manipulate.

Bulgular: Toplam 412 hastanın 236’sı erkek (%57,28), 176’ sının kadın (%42,72) olduğu tespit edildi ve hastaların yaş ortalaması 44,04±12,49 idi. Ortalama fibrozis skoru 2,68±0,93, ortalama HAİ 5,09±2,16 olarak tespit edildi. Tedavi öncesi 316 (%77,1) hastada HBeAg negatif, 94 (%22,9) hastada ise pozitif saptandı. HBeAg pozitif ve negatif hastalar karşılaştırıldığında HBV DNA, ALT, AST değerleri ve HAİ skorları HBeAg pozitif hastalarda anlamlı olarak yüksek saptandı. AFP ve INR değerleri ile fibrozis skorları arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Tenofovir disoproksil fumarat (TDF) ve Entecavir (ETV) etkinlik ve yan etki bakımından karşılaştırıldığında; viral süpresyon, erken dönemde TDF grubunda anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı. ALT normalizasyonu ise 6. ve 12. aylarda ETV grubunda anlamlı olarak daha fazla iken, 24. ayda her iki grup arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Hastalar kreatinin değişimi konusunda karşılaştırıldığında ise 6. ayda her iki grup arasında bir fark saptanmazken, 12. ve 24. aylarda TDF grubunda ETV grubuna göre anlamlı bir artış görülmüştür (12. ve 24. Aylar sırasıyla; p=0,001, p=0,001).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak hızlı virolojik yanıt istenen hastalarda TDF tedavisi en etkin tedavi olarak dikkat çekmekteyken, böbrek fonksiyonları bozuk olan hastalarda ise mümkün olduğu kadar alternatif tedavilerin tercih edilmesi gerekmektedir.

Grain yield and fatty acid components of camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) are largely unknown in the Eastern Mediterranean. For this reason, two year field experiment was carried out with three replicates in randomized complete block design to determine the yield performances and fatty acid components of 33 camelina genotypes in Mediterranean climate conditions. In the study, in addition to grain yield and agronomic characteristics, oil quality parameters palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and erucic acid were analyzed. It was determined that genotype 28 (3120 kg ha-1) gave good results in terms of yield, followed by genotype 9 (2735 kg ha-1) and 1 (2651 kg ha-1). These genotypes are genetically drought resistant. Besides, 28 (3.09 %), 9 (2.66 %) and 1 (2.73 %) are the preferred genotypes for the Eastern Mediterranean due to their two-year mean erucic acid content based on the 5% EU residue limit for erucic acid in edible oils. It has been concluded that in regions where the Mediterranean climate prevails and drought stress begins to be seen, camelina cultivation can be done with natural rainfall. Promising genotypes with high oil quality can be evaluated in plant breeding in order to combine yield and quality.

Public service broadcasting first emerged in Britain with the advent of the British Broadcasting Company Ltd (BBC) in 1922. After that, the system of organization of television and radio broadcasting, in which control by the state is impossible, spread throughout Europe. Every European society has a history of the emergence and development of public service broadcasting, but usually in democracies they all play the role of social institutions, which, according to the Recommendation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, aim to "provide society growth of social, political and cultural activity of citizens and cohesion of society ".

Published: June 2024

The paper suggests retrospective analysis of investment premiums valuation models. Their place in contemporary theory of international portfolio investing is defined. Main phases of these models' evolution are revealed, uppermost considering incorporation of local and international factors of expected returns. Basic features of these phases are discovered. Dominance of the CAPM model in the framework of expected returns valuation concept is validated. This model is underlying major part of the science in this field development, particularly zero beta model and intertemporal model. Gnoseological conditions of models including international factors of securities premiums origin and development are identified. Specific attention is paid to models considering currency risk factor – one of the key factors of expected returns in international investment environment. Major events of the world economy that actualized the necessity of considering currency risks while valuing investment premiums are singled out. International capital asset pricing model as one that incorporates currency risk factor during expected returns valuation in the best way is examined. Comparative analysis of international CAPM and the approach of using the traditional model in international market is carried out. Although no evident advantage of any is fixed, existing empirics proves that the latter is much more convenient in terms of its usage, and is actually used much more often. The rationale of methodological priority of using the term "premium" rather than "expected return" is presented. Methodological indifference between the terms "price" and "expected return" in the current context is reported.

International development aid is the voluntary transfer of funds in the form of goods, skills, grants, credits and loans, training, exchange of experience from donor countries to recipients of these funds. Alongside with the aid in the traditional sense, other factors are also important, such as trade, migration, investment, environment, security, technology, i.e., everything that constitutes the development strategy and has a significant impact on it. Official development aid is aimed at rebuilding infrastructure, institutions and promoting the economic development of countries, which is a key part of post-war peace agreements. Official development aid (ODA) increases investment in physical and human capital, the ability to import capital goods or technology. ODA does not have indirect effects that reduce investment rates or savings, but is associated with the transfer of technologies that increase capital productivity and promote endogenous technical changes. Among a wide range of funding sources, official development aid plays an important role. It helps launch projects in underdeveloped or underfunded sectors or domains. ODA initiates processes of "virtuous development" and creates favourable dynamics that can help involve all other parties, especially business representatives, in such projects. This creates a multiplier effect that multiplies the impact. It was discovered during the research that official development aid increases investment in physical and human capital, the ability to import capital goods or technology. ODA does not have indirect effects that reduce investment rates or savings but relates to the transfer of technologies that increase capital productivity and promote endogenous technical changes. A study of the impact of official development aid on economic growth and poverty in the 20 countries studied showed that in most countries there was a negative correlation between the indicators of official development aid and gross domestic product, only a few countries showed a positive relationship between the two variables at a high level. The same situation can be observed between ODA and the poverty line. The relationship between the two variables that are not related to the provision of official development aid shows the best result, but ODA does not affect them. This analysis confirmed the theoretical and empirical research of scientists in this field on the lack of connection or weak connection between the studied variables. However, Student's t-test analysis indicates that there is a close relationship between GDP and ODA, as confirmed by the results of the study.
