Published: July 2023

The article examines and groups the factors influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers: cultural factors, social, economic, personal, psychological, climatic, marketing, organizational, situational. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions on consumer behavior has been identified. The study found that for the optimal choice of an effective pricing strategy, the company needs to understand the relationship between price and consumer purchases, which is determined by the fact that in market relations, the price of goods is set as a result of mutual "pressure" of buyer and seller. The concept of marketing pricing policy of the enterprise is defined and the methods of marketing research of the price are divided into two groups: direct methods based on customer surveys (method of changing price sensitivity, "price ladder"method, test without comparison) and indirect methods of price research. which is a comprehensive assessment of price and non-price parameters of the product (joint analysis, consistent choice of price-product). The advantages and disadvantages of each method are identified. Using the method of changing price sensitivity (Van Westendorp model), which helps companies understand how consumers evaluate its product and determine the range of acceptable prices for consumers, a study of consumer price sensitivity to determine the range of reasonable prices for inverter air conditioners and determine the optimal price point, in which the least number of people neglect the product because of too high or too low a price.
It is proved that the definition and analysis of factors of consumer sensitivity to price parameters is an important aspect of marketing pricing, as the price of goods is determined not only by economic but also by psychological considerations of the consumer. This allows businesses to understand how customers evaluate its product and to determine the range of prices acceptable to the consumer. It is determined that with proper implementation, the Van Westendorp model can create successful pricing strategies for a wide range of consumer and business-oriented products, due to its relative simplicity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises launching new products or services.
APPROACHES TO JUSTIFICATION OF THE MARKETING COMPLEX BASED ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Authors: Bincheva Polina 
Published: July 2023

Introduction. In modern economic conditions, there is a need to form a positive attitude towards domestic products, convey to the consumer information about the benefits of consuming fresh fruits and berries, provide the population with natural fruits and berries, offer a diverse range of products, as well as the availability of products with added value. Domestic enterprises have every opportunity to meet such requirements, and the use of modern marketing approaches to the sale of products will help to increase their competitiveness both on the domestic and on any foreign market.
Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify the main approaches to justifying the marketing complex based on consumer behavior of domestic enterprises for fruit and berry growing.
Methods. The main method of research is the survey of certain segmental groups of the population regarding their attitude towards domestic producers of fruit and vegetable products. Respondents have been asked a communicative question in order to establish contact and draw attention to the main problems associated with the purchase of fruits and berries.
Conclusion. In order to stimulate online ordering, it is necessary to coordinate the research on the importance of fruits and vegetables in children diet. Summing up, we can say that today consumers do not have much experience in buying fruits and berries online. However, they pay attention to the information presented on the package, are ready to pay additional money for services, including product delivery, and are looking for ecological, safe natural fruits and berries of a domestic producer. At the same time, the development of Internet technologies and active spending of time in social networks provide an opportunity for enterprises to occupy a free niche of online sales.

Scriabin and Kodály in the Reading of Antal Molnár, Imre Molnár and Emil Haraszti
Authors:   Associate professor PhD, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary. Email: windhager.akos@btk.ppke.hu., Windhager Ákos 
Published: July 2023

This study examines how Kodály, his student Antal Molnár and his colleague Imre Molnár, and their adversary Emil Haraszti saw Scriabin’s music throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Audiences were responsive, as seen by the continuous performance of his works by Hungarian and international musicians beginning in 1906. There was a great deal of curiosity in his orchestral pieces, but only four of them were played ten times throughout the course of a century. Rêverie and Le Poème Divin debuted in Budapest in 1910, followed by Le Poème de l’extase in 1919, although Prometheus did not make its appearance until 2001. Kodály found his music peculiar and disinteresting, judging it to be a poorer disciple of Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy. However, following the composer’s death, his pupils discovered new values in him, characterizing him as mythical (like A. Molnár A.) and mystical (like I. Molnár). And Haraszti thought it was excellent music. A different interpretation referred to Scriabin as the "Russian Bartók." He was regarded as "one of the most inventive experimenters of his time," which was a mixed acclaim. After 1945, newspapers mostly complimented his piano pieces and symphony conductors. Marxist aesthetes after 1949 saw his work as a failure due to his spiritual goals, which A. Molnár regarded as a distinctive value. Two pioneering conductors, who considered Kodály their distant teacher, Z. Kocsis and A. Ertüngealp, gave the first performances of his hitherto unperformed pieces after 1990.

Published: July 2023

This study focuses on the use of an optimum amount of Sodium Polyacrylate (SP) for designing cement slurry with the high performance of rheological properties and displacement efficiency. A laboratory study has been carried out on the cement slurry which prepared with SP as superabsorbent polymer. SP has been providing an internal water source that helps in the hydration process, and curing and ultimately increases the cement strength. Also improves the cement performance by improving the cement stability. Several batches were prepared to determine the proper amount of SP to add it in the cement slurry. Also, we studied its effect on cement density, amount of free water in order to observe the rheological properties, and thickening time. Results indicate that the designed cement rheological properties are directly influenced by the shear rate and shear stress on the mix and pump of the cement with the increase of the SP concentration for the rheological improvement. Laboratory data are presented to highlight Polyacrylate’s positive effect on compressive strength, fluid loss control, and free water.

Performance Study of Electrodialysis for Treatment Fuel Washing Wastewater
Authors: Abdul Majeed Basma A. , Zubaidy Maitham Adham 
Published: July 2023

In this work, electrodialysis (ED) has been demonstrated to be appropriate technique for reducing the electrical conductivity of real wastewater from fuel washing unit, which has been previously treated by other electrochemical technology (electrocoagulation and electrooxidation). A five cell electrodialysis stack, with an active membrane area of 60 cm2 per cell was employed. During a batch recirculation mode ED system, the effects of parameters such as electrical potential applied (6-18 V) and flow rate of streams (0.5-1.7 L/min.) on the performance of the total dissolved solids (TDS) separation and specific power consumption (SPC) were studied. The results indicate that the process of ED under potential (15 V) and flow rate (1.4 L/min) are recommended as operation conditions. The removal of TDS achieved was about 95% throughout (80 min.) time of electrodialysis and (1.72 kWh/m3) of SPC. Moreover, SPC increased with an increase in the applied potential of ED stack, while it was not intensely responsive to the change in the flow rate.
Information technologies in the education of contemporary China: reality and opportunities
Authors: Wei Sun 
Published: July 2023

With the rapid development of modern information technologies, their integration into all areas of education is accelerating, which contributes to the penetration of innovations into the education space. The author emphasizes that the design of many educational technologies was focused on the goals of education and included a sufficient number of educational concepts and elements. However, if teachers blindly adhere to the traditional concept of “technology is only a tool”, then this creates a sense of superiority of their own status and a narrow understanding of the value of technology.
The author relies in his research on the latest achievements in the field of not only high technologies that are used in education, but also on psychological and social research on the impact of the latter both on education and on a person. The author proposes to perceive technologies in the context of a new culture, and shows possible ways of their more adequate use. Working with artificial technological objects is not only the acceptance of an artificial object, but also the adoption of a technical culture, which indicates a new cultural relationship between people and technology, and vice versa. On the basis of analyzing the phenomenon and essence of contemporary information technology, the author of this article tries to find out the problems existing in the application of contemporary information technology in education through a questionnaire survey, and reflects on the influence of technology on teachers and students in the education system.
The answers of the survey participants made it possible to present a picture of the use of information technologies in education as a holistic and complex process. The analysis of the results obtained, as well as everyday practical training in the skills of using high technologies, enabled the author to establish that the influence of information technologies on education is complex, this is a new stage in the development of education as a whole, which allows us to characterize the process of their use as a holistic system. The influence of technology has completely changed all structures and all participants in education. The results of the survey also made it possible to identify a number of problems that indicate shortcomings in the modern space of education, the didactic nature of learning in the sense of conveying and receiving information in new conditions (we are talking not only about digitalization as a process, but also about changes aimed at transforming teaching methodology).
Experts, expertise and philosophy
Authors: Zborovska Xenija 
Published: July 2023

This article outlines the relevance and significance of the philosophical analysis of the essence of expertise by drawing upon existing Western contributions within the “philosophy of expertise” and offering author’s vision of this issue. Due to the postulation of the importance of expertise as a social phenomenon, the emphasis has been shifted from the expert himself to those actors who use his expertise.
The main part of the article is devoted to author’s concept of the three dimensions of expertise: ontic, deontic, and epistemological. The ontic dimension of expertise encompasses the phenomena of the objectual-sensory world that reflect the basis of an expert’s competence and involvement in a community of professionals. However, since expertise is a social activity rather than solely individual, alongside the ontic dimension of contextually verified competencies, there is a mandatory presence of a special responsibility on the expert’s behalf, leading to the discussion of the deontic dimension. As the epistemological dimension is one of the most debated in the context of the philosophy of expertise, its elucidation proves to be the most intricate and intriguing within this work. It raises questions regarding the dual nature of knowledge, the epistemic conditions of expertise quality, such as understanding (relevant terms, arguments, etc.), and the presence of propositional justification. This section concludes with an argument for the necessity of simultaneously considering all three dimensions when analyzing real-world expertise. Furthermore, by appealing to real social practices, the second part of the article attempts to demonstrate that the foundation of expertise analysis is deeply rooted in European civilization, starting from Socratic inquiries. Socrates began scrutinizing the epistemic value of ancient experts in light of the socio-political crisis of that time, including crises in the humanitarian sphere. Such a preliminary review of this issue should provoke a discussion, the expression of certain assessments and remarks, which will turn into a full-fledged professional discussion.

IntroductionParent-mediated approaches for young children with or with a higher likelihood of autism have gained traction, with mounting evidence of efficacy, but a research-to-gap practice exists, and community effectiveness remains to be firmly established.MethodsUsing a community-participatory framework, a total of 10 parent-child dyads received a five-day workshop and six follow-up sessions of ESDM parent coaching. Intervention was implemented across two phases with in-person and telehealth delivery.ResultsFrom pre to post intervention across both phases, parents improved in their fidelity of intervention implementation and children maid gains on proximal measures of social communication.DiscussionCommunity delivery of an evidence-based parent-mediated interventions for toddlers on the autism spectrum is feasible and promising. Giving resource efficiencies associated with parent-mediated approaches, particularly when delivered through government-funded programs, findings bolster current efforts to promote earlier and more widespread community access to necessary interventions. Facilitators and barriers to supporting parent learning and behavior change via interactive strategies are discussed.

IntroductionAlthough early inpatient and post-hospital rehabilitation is recognized as necessary, not all COVID-19 patients have access to rehabilitation. There are no published reports in the literature that investigate the outcomes of patients who do not receive rehabilitation after COVID-19. Our aim was to evaluate possible improvements in determinate functional and psychological parameters in COVID-19 patients two months after their hospital discharge.MethodsOn both time points various motor, cognitive, and clinical measurements such as body composition, tensiomyography, blood pressure, spirometry, grip strength test, Timed Up and Go test, gait speed, 30-second chair-stand test, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment, were performed. Additionally, questionnaires such as the SARC-CalF test, Edmonton frail scale, International Physical Activity questionnaire andThe Mediterranean Lifestyle index were conducted to assess lifestyle characteristics.ResultsA total of 39 patients (87.2% male; mean age of 59.1 ± 10.3 years), who were hospitalized due to COVID-19 at the Izola General Hospital (IGH), Slovenia between December 2020 and April 2021, were included. Patients were assessed at two time points (T1 and T2): T1 was taken after receiving a negative COVID-19 test and T2 was taken two months after T1. After two months of self-rehabilitation, we have detected a BMI increase (p &lt; .001), fat free mass increase (p &lt; .001), better Edmonton frail scale (p &lt; .001), SARC-CalF score (p = .014) and MoCA score (p = .014). There were no detected changes in lifestyle habits nor in physical performance tests.DiscussionIt is already known that COVID-19 has long-term negative consequences regardless of the stage of the disease. Our findings support the notion that patients cannot fully regain all their functions within a two-month period without receiving structured or supervised rehabilitation. Therefore, it is crucial to offer patients comprehensive and structured rehabilitation that incorporates clinical, cognitive, and motor exercises.
