Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Vankovych Lubomyr , Pauk N. ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: September 2023

The article presents the concept of marketing research, its methodology and a brief overview of key categories of research. The authors define marketing research as the collection, processing, analysis and synthesis of data to support marketing decisions and the activities of enterprises in the market by reducing uncertainty and risk. Four types of basic marketing research are described, including primary research, secondary research, quantitative research, and qualitative research. Each of the four categories of market research has its advantages and disadvantages. A company that conducts mixed-methods market research gets the best of both worlds by combining different methods. When done correctly, this can increase the accuracy and standardization of the results, giving your research and conclusions greater depth and breadth. This article discusses the potential applications of information technology in marketing research and how it can impact companies' global operations. A wide range of information technologies, such as social media analysis, eye-tracking technology, artificial intelligence, online surveys, and virtual reality, can be used by marketers to conduct research. Social media can offer useful data on demographics, sentiment analysis, and brand mentions. Eye-tracking technology can help marketers understand how consumers react to ads and products. A lot of consumer data can be studied using artificial intelligence. The authors have identified four main possible areas of influence of market research on companies' entry into international markets. These include finding target markets, creating effective marketing strategies, mitigating risks, and determining the potential size and expansion of global markets. The conclusions drawn from the review of examples of successful applications of market research have demonstrated the value of such research and allowed us to illustrate some of its results. Any business, including the logistics company Nova Poshta, must conduct market research to be successful. Using methods such as focus groups, focus interviews, and online technologies, they conducted an international market research on the organization and management of logistics. In general, market research can help companies maximize their efforts and resources to enter new markets, which can increase their profitability and market share.

For Ukrainian enterprises today – in the conditions of war – activation of foreign trade and strengthening of its effectiveness are critically important tasks. Implementation of foreign economic activity by enterprises is a complex process that requires not only a significant amount of resources, but also a competent approach to evaluating its effectiveness. Comparing the achieved results with previous periods or competitors allows to determine the current level of efficiency of such activity and to make the necessary changes to the company's strategy. Various quantitative and qualitative indicators are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the foreign economic activity. It is also necessary to take into account the peculiarities of each enterprise and the specifics of its economic activity. However, in modern conditions, the classical methods of evaluating the effectiveness of foreign operations may not be sufficient to determine the real impact of such activities on the financial situation of the enterprise. Therefore, it is important to develop and use additional methods that allow for a systematic assessment of the efficiency of the foreign economic activity and its impact on the overall efficiency of the enterprise. The article examines the existing methods of evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the enterprise's foreign economic activity. On the example of PJSC "Mohyliv-Podilskyi Canning Plant" the application of the proposed method of evaluating the efficiency of the export trade was done by optimizing the system of criteria and indicators of the analysis of the trade export, as well as finding reserves for increasing the export potential, and accordingly, the efficiency of the export activity as a whole.

Published: September 2023

The key aspects of the provision and assessment of the quality of customs services by logistics operators are highlighted, in particular, the opportunities for improving such services are revealed. The relevance of the transition to the market principles of functioning and adaptation of customs services in accordance with the changing needs of consumers is substantiated. The methodology for assessing the quality of customs services based on a consumer approach was developed and improving the quality management system of the company's customs brokerage service on the basis of relationship marketing was proposed. It is well-founded that the system of managing the quality of customs services is a rather complex system, therefore, when implementing its quality management mechanism, it is important to take into account the influence of various subsystems and accompanying business processes that constantly interact with each other. The assessment of the quality of customs service is carried out by participants in foreign economic activity with the aim of improving the quality of the provision of customs services and meeting the need to reduce the costs they incur during foreign economic operations and passing all customs formalities. It is advisable to assess the quality of the customs service in accordance with the system of quality indicators. The degree of compliance with the quality of customs services should be largely determined by the presence of a system for monitoring the provision of these services and the marketing orientation of the enterprise. Therefore, the research and improvement of the toolkit for assessing the quality of customs services is an urgent problem in today's conditions in the context of analyzing the effectiveness of the activities of international business entities. A model for evaluating the quality of customs services of a logistics operator based on a consumer approach is proposed. Accordingly, on the basis of marketing monitoring data, it is advisable to develop recommendations for improving the process of providing customs services, functioning of the customs services quality management system, and improving the quality of services. The quality management system of customs brokerage services should be based on ensuring and controlling the quality of customs brokerage services. The improvement of customs service is directly related to the improvement of the quality of the provided customs services, taking into account the interests of customers. In this regard, the introduction of quality standards of customs activity that meet modern international requirements and the mechanism of responsibility of the management staff for ensuring them will be a significant help.

The article examines the peculiarities of the economic evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of human capital on the example of the leading aircraft repair enterprises of Ukraine. Indicators for evaluating the economic efficiency of human capital of aircraft repair enterprises are proposed. Calculations of indicators of the effectiveness of the financial provision of human capital, indicators of the economic efficiency of the construction of the structure of human capital, and indicators of the effectiveness of financing the social development of human capital were carried out. Performance indicators of five leading Ukrainian aircraft repair companies specializing in the restoration and modernization of military aviation equipment were used for calculations. Conducting an economic evaluation of financial support for the social development of human capital of aircraft repair enterprises allowed to reveal positive changes in the amount of financial support (increase in 2021 by 9.12%), which the studied enterprises allocate per unit of human capital. It was also established that the values of the indicators of financial provision of human capital and the efficiency of social financing almost do not differ at existing aircraft repair enterprises, mainly responding to the financial results of activity. The conducted studies showed that indicators of the economic efficiency of financing the social development of human capital of aircraft repair enterprises have a tendency to change mainly under the influence of generalized factors of economic influence, which are complexly formed on the basis of factors of direct and indirect action in the activity of aircraft repair enterprises. It is proposed to divide the calculation results of each integral indicator into three ranges. This approach will make it possible to compare the efficiency of the researched aircraft repair enterprises in different years. The results of the study showed that the total inefficiency of human capital development occurs in 70.6%. It was established that aircraft repair enterprises pay little attention to financing the development of human capital, which became the reason for low efficiency.

Published: September 2023

The formation of a national system of venture financing for many countries of the world is an objective necessity due to the specifics of their innovative economy and the urgent need to ensure the reproduction of national wealth on a high-tech basis. As research in the field of institutional theory and practice of venture financing shows, different national venture systems have their own institutional specificity, which is realized in the specification of national models of venture entrepreneurship, coordination of economic interests in the field of innovative activity, and sources of financing. Venture business, which ensures the inflow of private funds into small innovations of developing companies, and in exchange for high risks guarantees high profitability for investors, has proven the effectiveness of the venture investment institute in developed countries as one of the effective tools for implementing an innovative growth model. The goals of the article are the research of the best practices of the formation and functioning of venture structures and the study and formation of elementary characteristics of models of the formation and functioning of venture structures. During the development and formation of venture financing, the focus on short-term economic indicators contradicted the innovative orientation of production. Interest in risk financing grew for the following reasons: in a number of cases, investors received real income, which many times exceeded the possible income from traditional financial and credit operations; the specificity of financing objects (high-risk projects) supported effective functioning through special management methods aimed at reducing the risks of investment activity; the venture mechanism provided a practical opportunity to finance innovative ideas and projects at the initial stages of their implementation. The article examines and substantiates the best experience in the formation and operation of venture structures - two main models of venture financing - American and European. The main differences of the models were investigated on the basis of the formed elemental characteristics of the model of venture structures, which includes: the content of the concept of "direct investment" and venture financing"; methodology of venture financing statistics; the process of formation of venture structures; priority sectors of the economy for venture investment; distribution of venture capital investment by stages of development of innovative companies; amount of funds (venture capital); the role of the state in financing innovation processes; stages of venture financing; allocation of funds for specialized innovation projects, criteria for choosing a venture capital firm, form of a partner enterprise. A generalized description of venture investment market models is presented.

Analysis of the secondary marketing information proves that the dairy sector is the leading in the Ukrainian food and processing industry. It not only affects the well-being and health of the population, but also the food security of the country. At the same time, the Ukrainian dairy market operates in conditions of intense competition. As a result of the military action the number of milk processing enterprises in Ukraine decreased at the end of 2022, at the same time, a decrease in the production of several dairy products in natural terms is observed while their prices are increasing. During the 2019-2021, the amount of export of dairy products also decreased in natural terms, but the amount of import increased significantly. Ukrainian dairy products are in demand on the world market primarily due to the lower price of products which caused by the usage of the cheaper raw materials (milk) for their production bought from domestic milk processing enterprises. It has been established that consumer organizations, primarily retail chains, can significantly influence the activity of milk processing enterprises, increasing the amount of trade mark-up and retail prices for dairy products and, accordingly, reducing demand for them. This situation is common for hard and processed cheeses. In the milk processing industry of Ukraine, the production of cheese accounts for about 10% of the production volume of dairy products. Producers will be able to increase the demand for hard cheeses by detailed studying of the consumer preferences and satisfying them. According to the results of the collected and analyzed primary marketing information, it is recommended that domestic producers of hard cheeses should expand the assortment of hard cheeses with original flavors, increase the number of new packaged products weighing up to 200 g, and for types that are in significant demand - 200-500 g – optimize the price of certain types of goods and monitor the prices of hard cheeses in trade networks, intensify the marketing communication policy by placing banner ads and advertising at the point of sale with an emphasis on original tastes, high quality and domestic production of hard cheeses.

Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the peculiarities of development, the current state and specifics of competition, as well as the prospects for the development of the air transport industry in Ukraine, in particular, in the conditions of European integration, post-pandemic and war. Before the start of the full-scale war (in February 2022), Ukraine used to have great potential for the development of the air transport industry due to its geographical location, existance of several international airports and active European integration. However, post-pandemic conditions and the war have created certain challenges and limitations for development of air transport in the country. As a result of European integration, Ukraine must comply with EU standards in the field of aviation, which requires large investments in the modernization of airports and aviation enterprises. This can be a challenging task in the face of financial constraints and economic instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the air transport industry, reducing demand for air travel and causing airline revenues to decline. But after the decrease in demand, there was a rise in the industry again, until the war began and the airspace over Ukraine was closed. The war in the country not only had a negative impact on the air transport industry of Ukraine, but essentially made its functioning impossible. Of the four domestic airlines (UAI, SkyUp, YanAir and Windrose), only SkyUp is currently operating. Nevertheless, there is hope for the resumption of air transport even in war conditions – it is proposed to launch flights from two Ukrainian airports – Lviv and Uzhhorod. Thanks to the territorial proximity of these airports to the border with the EU, planes would be able to quickly enter the EU airspace and fly safely. After the victory and opening of the sky, the country will need a quick restoration of aviation. In particular, his plan should be developed by the newly created Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure.

Published: September 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the full-scale invasion of the territory of our country by the enemy, which led to the suspension of the work of most Ukrainian metallurgical enterprises in the East of Ukraine, and caused a significant decrease in planned indicators and production volumes. The constant attacks on energy infrastructure also negatively affected the operations of such enterprises. Since March 2022, mining and metals companies in the government-controlled areas of Ukraine have continued to operate at a loss. Compared to the pre-war period, the utilization of steel mills in 2022 fell by 85% on average. The article characterizes the main challenges of the metallurgical industry with the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion; the dynamics of metallurgical production indicators for ten years from 2012 to 2021 in the pre-war period, and quarterly volumes for 2022-2023 since the beginning of the war in terms of iron and steel production, including the dynamics of exports of metallurgical products, are studied. The necessary post-war directions as vectors for the development of the metallurgical industry are highlighted. The study on this topic allowed us to identify the following new challenges and obstacles to the development of the Ukrainian metallurgical industry as a result of the full-scale invasion of Ukrainian lands by the occupier: production shutdown and destruction of industrial infrastructure; shortage of working capital; logistical constraints; and lack of energy resources. Based on the above factors and the challenges faced by the Ukrainian economy during the year of the war, the following important and necessary vectors for the development of the metallurgical industry after our victory and the end of the war have been identified: the restoration of the steel industry as a leading sector of the national economy to ensure rapid growth in demand for steel structures to rebuild destroyed cities and villages; the restoration of stable energy supply and liberation from the occupation of the territories with metallurgical plants will allow restoring the full capacity of these enterprises, and, as a result, increase the volume of exports of metal products to the EU and other countries; attracting investments in the restoration of housing and machine-building infrastructure will help increase demand for metal products; facilitating access to Ukrainian goods to their markets by many countries will have a positive impact on the progress in the development of the Ukrainian steel industry.

Published: September 2023

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan selkoteksteistä poimittujen vierassanojen (N = 50) ja niiden omaperäisten vastinesanojen (N = 50) objektiivista ja subjektiivista frekvenssiä. Objektiivista frekvenssiä tutkittiin vertailemalla sanojen esiintymistaajuutta selko- ja yleiskielisiä mediatekstejä sisältävissä korpuksissa. Subjektiivista frekvenssiä tutkittiin kyselyllä, jolla selvitettiin, kuinka usein kieliasiantuntijat (N = 25) kohtasivat sanoja ja mitä sanoja he käyttivät yleensä itse. Tutkimusaineiston omaperäiset sanat olivat korpusaineistoissa harvinaisempia kuin vierassanat, mutta omaperäisiä sanoja esiintyi selkokielessä enemmän kuin yleiskielessä. Yksittäisten sanojen esiintymistaajuudessa oli huomattavia eroja, jotka selittyivät esimerkiksi korpusaineistojen ja kielimuotojen eroilla. Kohtaamistaajuudeltaan yleisimpiä olivat objektiiviselta frekvenssiltään yleiset sanat, jotka esiintyivät monissa eri konteksteissa. Kohtaamistaajuus ja objektiivinen frekvenssi olivat samansuuntaisia etenkin yleisemmissä sanoissa, kun taas objektiiviselta frekvenssiltään harvinaiset sanat olivat kohtaamistaajuudeltaan monenlaisia. Tutkimusaineiston lyhyimmät sanat olivat objektiiviselta frekvenssiltään ja kohtaamistaajuudeltaan yleisimpiä. Kieliasiantuntijat suosivat omassa kielenkäytössään tutkimusaineiston sanaparien lyhyempiä sanoja ja vierassanoja. Esiintymistaajuus ei riitä ainoaksi sanojen yleisyyden arviointikriteeriksi selkokielessä. Yleisyyttä voitaisiinkin arvioida myös kohtaamistaajuudella ja käytöllä.

The therapeutic gap arising from high global incidence of depressive disorders and the efficacy and toxicity shortcomings of existing antidepressant drugs indicate a need to further search the plant kingdom with the goal of discovering novel antidepressant pharmacotherapeutic agents. Crude 50% ethanol Terminalia catappa (CETC), Tapinanthus dodoneifolius (CETD) and Bryophyllum pinnatum (CEBP) leaf extracts were investigated for their acute antidepressant activity on the forced swim (FST) and tail suspension (TST) tests. Groups of mice (n = 6) were each exposed to the tests 1 hour following oral administration of distilled water (10 ml/kg), extracts (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight) and fluoxetine (20 mg/kg), using the mean immobility time as endpoint. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these crude extracts indicated the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, phenolic compounds, tannins, steroids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, terpenoids and anthraquinones. Compared to distilled water treatments (FST, 84.16 ±3.92; TST, 82.85 ±5.84), CETC (FST, 84.17 ±4.44, 71.67 ±1.89, & 44.31 ±8.23*; TST, 79.03 ±2.62, 74.10 ±3.11, & 52.57 ±6.00*) and CEBP (FST, 77.02 ±2.70, 66.11 ±4.42 & 49.99 ±4.20*; TST, 69.51 ±7.24, 49.73 ±11.85* & 46.39 ±5.68**) treatments caused dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) reductions in the mean immobility times on both paradigms while CETD caused dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) reductions of this parameter only on the TST. Overall, acute antidepressant activities at the highest dose level (500 mg/kg) of all extracts approximated that of the standard antidepressant fluoxetine (20 mg/kg). The findings of this study are a justification for the widespread ethnomedicinal uses of extracts of these plants. There is a need to further characterize their antidepressant and other neuropharmacological effects. 1.

Given the significant economic importance of getting cows pregnant, we investigated the factors affecting the conception rate of cows in Rajshahi City in this study. As we know, when the sperm fertilizes the egg, this is the moment we call conception. The number of dams that actually give birth compared to the number of dams that have been served or exposed to the sire is traditionally understood to be the conception rate. There have been many management and environmental factors, such as nutrition, metabolic disorders, reproductive health, heat detection, insemination practices, and climate, which can result in significant differences in conception rates. In terms of the effect of herd size on cow’s conception, we observed that herd with >30 cows had the highest (71.12%) conception rate (P<0.001), while the overall conception rate was 60.28%. Private farms showed higher conception (66.68%) than NGO-led ones (22%). Farmers having higher (>3 years) experience managed better conception rate (62.34%) in their farms. Cows under good housing management showed better conception (65.65%) than poorly or on-averagely maintained ones. Cows that were given good quality feed showed better conception (66.82%) compared to those provided with medium to poor quality feed; likewise, cows supplied with good quality fodder performed better regarding CR (63.68%). Cows that were under regular deworming resulted better (63.90%) conception rate compared to irregularly (55%) or no-dewormed (22.22%) groups. Regarding the effects of breed on CR we noticed that Friesian crossed showed better conception (75.13%) than local (50%) and Sahiwal crossed (40%). About the effect of age, 4-6 years old cows showed a better conception rate (68.88%), and in terms of parity 3rd one revealed highest conception rate (84.26%). We noticed frozen semen performed better (62.43%) than liquid ones (57.24%) and the govt. supplied semen resulted in better CR (65%). Heat detection through mounting resulted in a better conception rate (68.08%) than bellowing (67.14%) and vaginal discharge (52.57%), and service around 12-18 hours of Heat showed the highest conception rate (76.32%). In terms of the effect of methods of pregnancy detection on conception rate we noticed that by observing the clinical signs, we can better confirm conception (70.69%) compared with rectal palpation (38.14%). Under various limitations, we carried out our experiment; our findings are striking; however, further studies are needed to go more in-depth into it

This study was conducted to examine the effects of self-regulated strategy development, an intervention designed to teach writing skills through six steps and four self-regulation skills, on academic English writing skills and self-regulated learning. Additionally, the aim is also to investigate attitudes towards the instruction. Mastering the skills of writing is a challenging task since it requires several integrated skills. There exist several complex difficulties in, for example, creating content, organizing structure, applying writing mechanics, and completing the revision process. Thus, the essential factor is writing instruction which helps learners improve their writing skills. The participants were eleven pre-intermediate students at a senior high school in Thailand who were explicitly taught by self-regulated strategy development instruction in a process consisting of six recursive stages and four self-regulation skill stages. To gather quantitative data, a pretest and posttest were employed. Moreover, to obtain qualitative data regarding the students’ attitudes toward the instruction, a semi-structured interview was used. The findings revealed that the academic writing ability and self-regulation skills of Thai high school students can be enhanced by self-regulated strategy development and that students show positive attitudes towards this type of instruction.
