Authors:   Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University, Vasilieva Lesja M. , Buhai Tetjana О. ,   Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University
Published: November 2023

The article emphasizes that the activity of each enterprise presupposes the availability of means of production and appropriate material conditions, which are one of the most important elements of productive forces, as well as the main element of the material and technical base. It is noted that the key elements of management of fixed assets are organization, timely receipt and analysis of accounting and analytical information. The carried out analysis of scientific literature, normative legal acts along with generalization of scientific approaches to the essence of the concept of «fixed assets» made it possible to allocate the main features of fixed assets, namely: fixed assets are tangible (physical) assets that the enterprise uses to carry out its main activities and achieve its goals, they can be of different types; all sources indicate that fixed assets must be used for a long time (namely, more than one year or one operating cycle). In accounting, fixed assets are accounted for as assets and depreciate over their useful lives. It is found that the criteria for determining fixed assets exist in order to determine which assets can be included in this category in the accounting of an enterprise. The criteria for determining fixed assets are provided, namely: materiality – the asset must have a physical form and exist in the real world; means of labor – a fixed asset is an object that is used in the production process or for the provision of services; long-term use is expected – the fixed asset is planned to be used for more than one year. It is emphasized that such an approach to the criteria for determining fixed assets allows for correct accounting, evaluation of fixed assets of enterprise and reflection in the financial statements in accordance with the relevant accounting standards and norms.

Published: November 2023

The article emphasizes the urgency of forming and implementing a public policy for the development of bank lending, as well as improving the financial support of domestic business in wartime conditions. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of the state of bank lending and determine the directions and means of stabilizing the financial support of business in Ukraine in wartime conditions. It is shown that the full-scale war caused significant negative consequences for Ukrainian business, destabilizing both the production and consumption of goods and services, exposing the resource needs of business, significantly worsening the financial and economic condition of business entities; in more than 80% of them the volume of activity decreased in 2022; a third of business representatives saw their business reduced to 20%; in more than half – by 21% or more. The article analyzes the data of the National Bank of Ukraine (for 2019–2023) on the volume and structure of bank lending in Ukraine, the structural ratios of the volume of bank lending to legal entities and individuals in Ukraine, indicators of bank lending to the national economy of Ukraine, levels of securing bank loans with reserves in Ukraine, indicators of corporate loan portfolio in Ukraine by types of economic activity in 2023. It was concluded that the implementation of the financial policy of domestic enterprises in wartime conditions, aimed at their stable and balanced development, involves the connection of such basic aspects as sources of funds formation, vision of prospects for further progress, as well as directions for realization of financial potential. For this, enterprises should form complex subsystems for the formation of financial resources of the enterprise, consisting of attracting funds from own (own capital and investments in the business, financial result from increasing the efficiency of management) and involved sources, as well as applying for the financial capabilities of the institutional and project integration of the enterprise.
Tax Evasion: Do Non-Economic Factors Matter?
Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Stetsenko Tetiana V.
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to substantiate the relationship between the level of tax evasion and tax morality in Ukraine. An assessment of tax morality in the countries of the world is made and the interdependence between the level of tax morality and the scale of the shadow economy both in Ukraine and the world is proved. To achieve the set aim, the following scientific methods were used: the method of analysis and synthesis, methods of comparison, generalization, methods of statistical research (method of groupings, averages). The information base of the study was the results of the repeated sociological study World Values Survey. It is determined that the optimal level of tax burden, the excess of which can lead to the formation/growth of the shadow sector of the economy, also depends on the existing level of tax culture and tax morality in society. Based on the statistical analysis of the results of the World Values Survey, an increase in the level of tax morality over the world has been proven in dynamics. On average, more than 50% of respondents in each wave of the survey consider tax evasion to be a completely unacceptable and unjustified action (answer «1»). The phenomenon of «tax evasion» in most countries participating in the World Values Survey is permanently perceived by respondents as immoral, wrong, threatening the society, which proves the gravitation of the share of respondents with answers from «1» to «5» in all the studied waves up to 90%. It is proved that the volume of the shadow sector of the economy is inversely dependent on the level of tax morality in the country, so measures to form the necessary tax culture and increase the level of tax morality should be included in a comprehensive program for combating tax evasion. In particular, in Ukraine, the correlation coefficient between the share of respondents who condemn and do not justify any tax evasion (answers from «1» to «5» on a scale from «1» to «10») and the size of the shadow sector as a percentage of GDP in Ukraine amounted to –0.93. Prospects for further research elaborations in this direction are related to the application of the methodology of fiscal sociology to provide a more detailed assessment of the level of tax morality and the characterization of the tax culture that has formed in Ukraine.

Published: November 2023

The aim of the article is to generalize the global experience of setting up and developing a system of public administration of digitalization processes, focusing on the institutional basis and resource provision. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of numerous scholars, also taking into account the dynamic trends of deepening globalization and neo-industrialization, conclusions are drawn about the constant development and active use of new mechanisms and means by highly developed countries in the implementation of digital transformation of the economy. As a result of the study, it was found that the system of public management of digitalization processes is built in accordance with the established institutional basis (existing regulatory framework; adopted strategies, target programs, conceptions, projects). On the example of numerous highly developed countries, the progressive spread of e-government in the system of public regulation of the digital transformation of the economy is underlined, which provides for the transfer of a number of administrative services to the information and communication format, the creation of a system of electronic interaction of public authorities, the formation of digital platforms for communication of the regular people, business, and the State institutions. It is emphasized that despite the absence of separate bodies in the system of the State power, some countries create non-government institutions to organize the digital transformation of the economy. It is proved that an important structural component of the national policy of digitalization is resource provision, and first of all, the accumulation of financial and investment resources through investment funds (agencies), banking structures, credit organizations, and other institutions. The priority object of the State policy for the development of the digital economy sector is considered to be institutional and infrastructural support. In this context, an important role of research structures in the development of digitalization of the economy is highlighted. Prospects for further research in this direction should be considered to determine, in accordance with the successful experience of highly developed countries, other priority areas of public regulation of the digital economy sector, taking into account organizational, economic, technological, and other features of digital development.

Published: November 2023

The article discusses the main methods and approaches to diagnosing the strategic capabilities of enterprises. On the basis of the carried out study, it is found that today three approaches to performing diagnostics of enterprises have become the most widely used. The choice of one or another of these approach depends on many factors (the purpose of diagnostics, information and analytical provision of the activities of enterprises, industry affiliation, etc.). The paper summarizes the characteristics of diagnostics as a process consisting of purpose, subject, object, tasks and methods. It is substantiated that the process of diagnostics should include the state of an economic entity for a certain period of time, as well as forecasting conditions that can affect both positively and negatively its development in the future. The main directions of diagnostics of strategic capabilities of enterprises are allocated. It is determined that there are various methods for diagnosing the state of development of enterprises, the basic ones would be statistical, economic-mathematical, and special methods. On the basis of the generalization of research on the available diagnostics of enterprise development, an algorithm has been formed, which would be expedient when carrying out diagnostics. The presented algorithm consists of three stages, each of them comprising tasks, the solution of which would foster the achievement of the maximum result of a particular research. It is proved that in order to obtain reliable and high-quality diagnostic results, it is important to form an array of data that would meet the requirements for information, have an appropriate time range, completeness of information on the issues of the phenomenon under study. It is substantiated that the correctness of the obtained results of diagnostics and the concluding diagnosis determines an effective establishment of the existing crisis phenomena, identifying the causes of their occurrence, and ways of eliminating them in the future. It is found that the strategic opportunities for the development of enterprise should be brought through the prism of implementation of individual strategies according to the certain directions, with the determination of the effectiveness of implementation of each of the strategies, which will allow to assess the most attractive vectors of development for the enterprise and to strengthen the weaker sides. Such a comprehensive assessment contributes to the establishment of the correct diagnosis, identification of strengths and weaknesses, interaction of influencing factors, which allows managers to develop effective managerial decisions on the strategic development of enterprises in the future.

Published: November 2023

Correctly identifying and outlining the circle of the most important stakeholders is the basis for the effective strategic development of an enterprise, since the reliability and stability of interaction with them fosters ensuring the effectiveness and optimization of the enterprise’s business processes. This, in turn, makes it possible to increase the competitiveness and stability of the enterprise in the strategic period. Since the implementation of business processes requires clarity, consistency of their implementation, which depends on the efficiency of ensuring their implementation by certain types of resources, then, accordingly, proper relationships with stakeholders are a guarantee of their effective implementation. Therefore, the issue of typologization of the interconnections between the enterprise and stakeholders is relevant. The research was carried out using the following methods: historical; logical; comparison; analogy; analysis, synthesis; concretization; abstracting. The article allocates and characterizes the types of relations between the enterprise and stakeholders in accordance with their participation in the implementation of the enterprise’s business processes. According to this, the following types of interconnections are distinguished: dependent; independent; business; development; interpersonal; securing; general. The allocated types of interconnections between enterprise and stakeholders are characterized, which helped to clarify the criteria for dividing stakeholders into separate groups to ensure effective strategic development of enterprise. Such criteria are the following: the level of value for the enterprise; the level of value of the enterprise; prospects for development; the level of correspondence of the results of interaction to the set goals. The parameters of attribution of stakeholders to a certain group of influence in relation to the selected types of interconnection (interaction) are described. Recommendations for building a methodology for allocating groups of influence of stakeholders on the activities of enterprise are provided, using the proposed criteria (parameters) of division.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of the study is to identify opportunities for changes related to social initiatives in the field of environmental preservation and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, through the application of the achievements of behavioral economics. The article analyzes the features of the formation of the architecture of choice as an element of behavioral economics by the tools of nudging in the context of eco-solutions. It is shown that in the formation of the global goals of sustainable development, much attention is paid to the tasks of preserving the environment and saving resource consumption. In view of this, the development of programs and projects that will accelerate the achievement of these goals is extremely important both for Ukraine and for the world community in general. The expediency of applying such approaches to the formation of the architecture of choice, which can increase the level of intensity of the transition to ecological solutions, is substantiated: the option of «default» should include the element of «eco»; the importance of applying the principles of eco-design; access to eco-solutions should be at least no more difficult than traditional ones, and, speaking of an ideal, much easier; eco-solutions should be beneficial for the consumer, and the benefits are not limited to purely economic ones. The theoretical conclusions are justified by practical cases that have already been implemented and are demonstrating their effectiveness in Ukraine. The difficulties that become obstacles in the processes of environmental conservation and can be overcome by climate incentives are outlined. In general, it has been proved that behavioral economics is able to offer its tools for forming the habit of making eco-decisions in a balanced way, taking into account the need to preserve the environment. Promising directions of research are the analysis of the possibilities of implementing the principles of behavioral economics in decision-making processes in the field of education, personal development, finance, etc.

A inserção do fisioterapeuta nos serviços de atenção básica à saúde é ainda um desafio e um processo em construção, visto que, desde a criação da profissão, o mesmo foi rotulado como fisioterapeuta reabilitador, voltando-se apenas para uma de suas atribuições, que é tratar a doença e suas sequelas. Atenção básica constitui-se como ponto privilegiado de atenção, porta de entrada preferencial e importante centro comunicador da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (RAS), evidenciando assim sua função resolutiva sobre os principais problemas de saúde. O presente estudo teve como objetivo relatar a vivência de uma fisioterapeuta residente em Saúde da Família e Comunidade no município de Guaiuba. O plano de ação da residente resultou em atividades como acolhimento, promoção de saúde, visita domiciliar, interconsultas, discussão de casos e grupos de saúde, saúde do trabalhador entre outras ações. A inserção por meio do Programa de Residência pode evidenciar a importância do fisioterapeuta como agente multiplicador de saúde, atuando em conjunto com uma equipe multiprofissional. O Programa de Residência Multiprofissional possibilitou a inserção efetiva do fisioterapeuta em uma equipe de Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) em que se buscou-se a integração com os demais profissionais.
Enhancing Salt Stress Tolerance and Yield Parameters of Proso Millet Through Exogenous Proline and Glycine Betaine Supplementation

Published: November 2023

Proline (Pro) and glycine betaine (GB) act as significant osmoprotectants, potentially mitigating the detrimental effects of various abiotic stresses in plants. Given the growth-enhancing capabilities and other regulatory roles of Pro and GB, the current study was conducted to assess their function in imparting salt stress resilience in proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L). Proso millet plants were subjected to two levels of salt stress (S1 = 150 mM; S2 = 300 mM). Foliar applications of Pro (0.5 mM) and GB (0.5 mM) were provided under control and salt-stressed conditions at 10-day intervals twice. Compared to control conditions, plant growth, fresh and dry weight, leaf relative water content (RWC), SPAD value, and yield-contributing attributes noticeably decreased under salt stress. In contrast, plants supplemented with Pro and GB exhibited enhanced characteristics. Moreover, growth and yield parameters improved in salt-treated proso millet plants when supplemented with Pro and GB. These results suggest that the foliar application of Pro and GB can alleviate salt-induced oxidative stress in proso millet plants by modulating the antioxidative defense.

A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur, Dhaka, from April to September 2019 to determine the economic nitrogen rates for popular transplanted Aus varieties. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with two factors. Factor A: three varieties as- BR26, BRRI dhan48, and BRRI dhan82; and Factor B: five levels of nitrogen rates as- 0, 40, 60, 80, 100 kg ha−1. The experimental data show the individual effect of variety and nitrogen (N) rate was significant in the case of N concentration, N uptake in grain and straw, and nitrogen harvest index (NHI). Overall, increasing N rate increases grain and straw's concentration irrespective of varieties. But higher N concentration and uptake were observed in the N rate of N60-N100 kg ha−1 in all varieties. Among the varieties, BRRI dhan82 observed higher N uptake (61.23 kg ha−1) in grain. Higher total N uptake was also observed in BRRI dhan48 at 80 kg N ha−1. NHI ranged from 55 to 72 % in different N levels, indicating 55 to 72% of the absorbed N translocated to the grains, and 45% to 32% remained in the dry matter within varieties. The estimated economic nitrogen dose for maximum yield was determined by regression analysis, and found that N rates of BR26, BRRI dhan48, and BRRI dhan82 were 97, 95, and 55 kg ha−1, respectively. The findings of this study indicated that the response of different N rates on three Aus varieties was linear up to 80 kg N ha−1 might be owing to better N uptake that made yield increase after that decreasing.

Introduction: There are some reports where serum lead levels were measured and change in concentration of serum lead level was found among Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia patients. The aim of this study was to determine serum lead levels in patients with ALL.
Methods: In this cross sectional study all children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia ranging 2 to 12 years (30 patients) were evaluated for serum lead levels who were admitted at the Department of Pediatrics in DMCH, from February 2013 to January 2014. Serum measurements for lead were performed by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer in Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of Atomic Energy Centre Ramna, Dhaka.
Results: Among the 63 children there was no significant difference in age and sex between the patients and control. The mean serum lead level of Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia patient group (234.8±162.9 g/L) was significantly higher than that of the control group (23.6±12.6 µg/L). There was significant difference of serum lead level in children with ALL and control group(p<0.05).
Conclusion: From the findings of the study it can be concluded that there is significant difference between Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia patient and normal control in terms of serum Lead (pb) level. Key words: Children, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, serum Lead.
