RETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF UKRAINE

A retrospective analysis and assessment of the current state of Ukraine’s foreign economic activity during the years of independence was performed in the article. In particular, the volume of export-import and investment activities, indicators of economic openness, geographical and commodity structure of exports and imports were analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that in the process of independence and development of the national economy of Ukraine there is a transformation into an open economic system that tries to take advantage of international economic cooperation, develop all forms of international economic relations. However, due to inefficient international specialization, slow restructuring of the national economy, inefficient foreign trade management, the level of competitiveness and investment attractiveness of Ukraine in the world market remains low. The export-oriented model of economic growth with the predominance of low-tech exports has led to the extensive nature of economic development, which remains energy-intensive, low-productive, poorly diversified, uncompetitive and dependent on external sources of raw materials, energy resources and world markets. It is positive that Ukraine has changed the vector of orientation in foreign economic activity and the European Union is gradually becoming the largest and main foreign trade partner. Such a trend, given the geopolitical, geo-economics and historical European position of Ukraine, should remain one of the priorities of Ukraine’s foreign economic policy. The article concludes that the system of foreign economic regulation of Ukraine needs radical changes, which should begin with a review of foreign economic policy of the state which should be aimed at increasing export potential, product diversification, introduction of innovative technologies to ensure a sufficient level of competitiveness of domestic goods in world markets.

Image classification with parallel KPCA‐PCA network

AbstractPrincipal component analysis (PCA) is widely used in computer vision for object detection. In this article, we take advantage of the algorithms of PCA and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) to construct a deep learning model named parallel KPCA‐PCA network (PK‐PCANet). In the proposed model, both of the given PCA and KPCA algorithm are aiming to calculate the filters that will be used in the following convolution layers. The extracted features from PCANet and KPCANet are fused by the strategy of parallel feature fusion. With the aim of reducing the dimensionality of the learned features, the algorithm of compressed sensing is incorporated in the proposed network. According to the cooperative advantages of deep learning network and compressed sensing, the proposed PK‐PCANet model obtains some improvements in several visual recognition tasks. Extensively experiments are performed on face recognition, hand‐written digit recognition and object classification, and the experimental results on various image classification benchmarks such as Extended Yale B, AR, MNIST, CIFAR‐10, and VOC 2007 validated the efficiency of the proposed method of PK‐PCANet.

Day-Ahead Optimal Scheduling of an Integrated Energy System Based on a Piecewise Self-Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

The interdependency of electric and natural gas systems is becoming stronger. The challenge of how to meet various energy demands in an integrated energy system (IES) with minimal cost has drawn considerable attention. The optimal scheduling of IESs is an ideal method to solve this problem. In this study, a day-ahead optimal scheduling model for IES that included an electrical system, a natural gas system, and an energy hub (EH), was established. The proposed EH contained detailed models of the fuel cell (FC) and power to gas (P2G) system. Considering that the optimal scheduling of an IES is a non-convex complex optimal problem, a piecewise self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (PCAPSO) algorithm based on multistage chaotic mapping was proposed to solve it. The objective was to minimize the operating cost of the IES. Three operation scenarios were designed to analyze the operation characteristics of the system under different coupling conditions. The simulation results showed that the PCAPSO algorithm improved the convergence rate and stability compared to the original PSO. An analysis of the results demonstrated the economics of an IES with the proposed EHs and the advantage of cooperation between the FC and P2G system.

КЛАСТЕРНА СПІВПРАЦЯ УЧАСНИКІВ СІЛЬСЬКОГО ТУРИЗМУ ЯК МЕХАНІЗМ АДАПТАЦІЇ ДО СУЧАСНИХ ВИКЛИКІВ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ЗАХІДНИХ РЕГІОНІВ УКРАЇНИ)

Creation by the state of favourable conditions for the support of small and medium-sized enterprises, as local support, at the territorial level is essential for preserving the integrity of the system in possible opposition to geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts. Such a shift, in particular, is russia’s invasion of the territory of Ukraine. The western regions of Ukraine were the first to face the new challenges and began to adapt, namely the subjects involved in rural tourism actively. Thus, through the analysis of the previous scientific work, the article highlighted the social and economic context of rural areas and overcoming social isolation inherent in the rural environment in general and in the conditions of martial law in particular; and outlined the principles of forming cluster cooperation between relevant subjects as an essential mechanism of their collaboration. As part of the expedition to the western regions of Ukraine, the following were investigated: aspects of the activities of representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises involved in the organization of rural tourism in the territory or are participants in the cluster of rural tourism in conditions of already martial law; conditions for the formation of cluster cooperation between participants, the role of tourism in regional development and the advantages of cluster cooperation for the development of a tourist destination. According to the results of field research in the territory of the western regions, the opinion was confirmed that the cluster approach in the interaction of small and medium-sized business entities involved in a particular direction allows for deepening and improving their work, optimizing production processes, more rationally using the resource potential of the territory, and relatively faster and easier to respond to challenges. Thus, the successful cluster cooperation of subjects involved in the organization of rural tourism, following the example of the western regions of Ukraine, can become an example and an impetus for the implementation of this model of cooperation throughout the country. Cluster participants demonstrated how important it is to mobilize resources, adapt to modern realities, respond to challenges on time, and help their citizens with their work.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ФІНАНСОВОЇ СПРОМОЖНОСТІ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОЇ ГРОМАДИ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ЛЮБЕШІВСЬКОЇ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОЇ ГРОМАДИ ВОЛИНСЬКОЇ ОБЛАСТІ)

An indicator of the success of the introduction of a new mechanism for the formation and use of local budgets funds is the financial capacity of the territorial community, which will be achieved when the potential financial capabilities of local self-government bodies ensure the financing of the identified priorities and the achievement of the corresponding results of the socio-economic development of the territories. If the territorial community is financially insolvent, it receives a basic subsidy and subventions from the state budget. The analysis of budget revenues of the Lyubeshiv settlement territorial community shows that official transfers accounted for 72.4% of the territorial community's budget revenues, tax revenues for 26%, and non-tax revenues for 1.5%. It was found that the Lyubeshiv territorial community really does not have the opportunity to independently and in a sufficient amount form the income of its budgets. Expenditures for state-wide functions occupy a fairly large share in the structure of expenditures, on the other hand, revenues from local taxes and fees do not even cover the costs of the management apparatus. At the expense of their own incomes and funds transferred from the state budget, local self-government bodies are able to spend costs on the social and economic development of the respective territorial communities. In order to improve the process of local budget revenue formation, it is necessary to: review the composition of local budget revenue and expand the powers of local authorities regarding the formation of the revenue part of local budgets, in particular, allow the establishment of new economically justified non-tax payments; to ensure monitoring and financial control over the use of funds from local budgets. It was determined that the activities of local authorities should be aimed at: ensuring effective planning, investment attraction and better conditions for job creation; use of local resource potential to create competitive advantages; ensuring the motivation and capacity of "key participants" to take advantage of effective cooperation; creation and support of institutions for the use of intellectual potential.

CHINA-KAZAKHSTAN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AND BILATERAL ECONOMIC COOPERATION

In our age of deepening globalization, when the international economic system is at the forefront of globalization, transformation is especially important. In the 21st century, both China and Kazakhstan are countries with rapid economic development and huge potential for economic growth. In this article, the bilateral relations between China and Kazakhstan are examined from the point of view of geopolitics. It is worth noting that bilateral relations have grown from cross-border trade relations in Xinjiang of China, to the strategic partnership "One Belt, One Road", which has benefited both China and Kazakhstan. In the economic sphere, Kazakhstan, located in Central Asia, is becoming increasingly important for China. Maintaining regional security is very important for the economic development of both sides. For Kazakhstan, the obvious advantage of cooperation with China is that Kazakhstan can serve as a communication center between China and the Western world, as well as establish transport and logistics links with the world as the main artery of international trade.

Теоретико-методологічні засади розвитку сільськогосподарської кооперації в розбудові аграрного устрою України

The purpose of the article is to generalize, systematize and deepen the theoretical and methodological principles of the elaboration of agricultural cooperation in the development of the agrarian system of Ukraine. The role and place of cooperation in the system of social organization of labor is researched. It is displayed that cooperation is an objective prerequisite for integration, and the division of labor itself causes its necessity. In institutional theory, the choice between free market transactions and full vertical coordination for economic agents is caused by market conditions, allocative efficiency of resource allocation and their minimum cost. The dynamics and state of development of agricultural cooperation in Ukraine are analyzed. An approximate three-level scheme of the national agricultural cooperative system is developed. At the first level of the hierarchy, agricultural cooperatives and cooperative associations should be located, at the second – regional unions (associations) of agricultural cooperatives, at the third – the All-Ukrainian Association of Agricultural Cooperatives. Under such a cooperative system, the principles of centralized and decentralized management are optimally combined, the self-government of cooperatives and compliance with the principles of cooperation are ensured. Based on the three-level scheme of the national agricultural cooperative system, the conceptual principles for the development of cooperative relations in agriculture at the regional level are substantiated. At this, management functions are retained by the cooperative association, which includes agricultural enterprises, farms and households belonging to the country’s residents, consulting services and support are provided by the regional advisory service, and the distribution of funds is carried out by a credit union founded by members of this cooperative association. A model of elaborating the cooperative relations in the agricultural sector of the economy with the participation of households and small commodity producers is proposed, which provides for the creation of a consumer agricultural cooperative. In case of deepening the integration of a consumer cooperative with another production, processing or sales enterprise of the agricultural sector of the economy, the cooperative model is transformed into a cooperative-integrated one, while maintaining the advantages of cooperation and receiving additional organizational and economic benefits from integration.

In the article the author considers the problems faced by investigative journalists in the process of combating corruption in contemporary Ukraine. In particular, regarding the negative perception of their activities within society; lack of proper security of journalists in detecting corruption offenses by government officials; difficulties in finding and accessing information on corrupt transactions. The need to establish high-quality mutual support and cooperation between NGOs and investigative journalists to address the above issues, as well as to develop joint recommendations for overcoming corruption risks based on their own activities. The advantages of NGO cooperation with investigative journalists in the context of protecting the latter from persecution by the authorities are highlighted. The author sees the solution of the most of problems related to the professional activity of investigative journalists in a special network created for them, which would monitor the movement of corruption funds and ensure high-quality receipt and exchange of relevant information. It is proposed to create a similar network in Ukraine, which would cover all regions and could lay an information basis for establishing effective anti-corruption control at the national level.

The impact of supplier relationships on supply chain performance of trade companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The need for companies' interconnection and advantages of mutual business cooperation led to the development of supply chain management in the 1980s. Along with the intensified market globalization process, companies have become aware of the need to develop efficient supply chains. A supply chain includes a series of activities from planning and organizing to controlling the flow of material and services from suppliers to the final customer. The supply chain effectiveness depends to a large extent on relationships with suppliers. Thus, relationships with suppliers and supply chain performance management are important topics in academic research due to their impact on supply chain profitability. It is particularly evident in the trade industry. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance in the trade industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The empirical research is based on the primary data, collected by using a questionnaire. The respondents are 200 trade companies from the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various statistical analysis methods have been applied to answer the research questions addressing the issues of a potential relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance. The results have shown that supplier relationships positively impact flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality. There is a statistically significant interdependence between partnership and information exchange, as supplier relationships dimensions, and flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality, as supply chain performance dimensions. There is, also, a statistically significant impact of some companies' characteristics on the information exchange, supplier partnership, flexibility, costs, and quality.

Dairy Farmers Perception on Cooperatives in East Java, Indonesia

Although past studies have shown that cooperatives can improve the welfare of rural communities. However, many farmers did not aware about the cooperative advantages. This begs a question as to whether cooperatives really contribute to the rural incomes and economies. This study aims to assess farmers’ perception on cooperative membership and how members have adopted innovative technologies. Data were obtained from a survey with 300 dairy farmers in Malang and Batu, East Java. The data were examined using a descriptive analysis. The results showed that farmers who do not join any cooperatives perceive that the institution is not able to determine the quality of their milk produce. Meanwhile, farmers who are members of a cooperative perceive that the institution can maintain stability of milk produce’s sales prices. This implies that education about cooperatives among farmers needs to be improved so that they can objectively view the benefits of cooperative membership and make informed decision in their economic activities.

Influencer propagation model promotes cooperation in spatial public goods game

This study investigates an influencer propagation model in public goods game based on the leadership of example. We consider that participants have social identities as either role models or followers, in addition to being classified as defectors or cooperators by strategic choice. Participants are positioned at each point of the grid in the spatial lattice network. According to their identities, players have rules to calculate income and change strategy differently. We propose the parameters of the extra gain (α) and the influencer ratio (θ) as necessary to the model. Monte Carlo simulation results show that our model can effectively resist the invasion of defectors by forming stable cooperation groups and expanding cooperation advantages in evolution when the synergy factor r is low. Our work may provide a feasible solution to social dilemmas in public goods game, and inspire further exploration.

Stakeholder Management & The Value of Human‐Centred Corporate Objectives

AbstractWe appreciate the opportunity to revisit the conversation about corporate objectives by responding to Goranvoa and Ryan’s (2021) paper, which focuses on the trends that impact shareholders and their relationship with firms. We structure our response to the authors in the following way: First, we argue that the governance challenges raised by Goranova and Ryan, in so far as they impact firms, make a case for stakeholder management. Second, we point out two shareholder‐centric trends the authors fail to describe, which also support stakeholder management. In the third section, we respond directly to the authors’ claim that competitive advantage is a more useful focus for the corporate objective by 1) noting that the authors utilize a strawman conceptualization of stakeholder theory in their argument, 2) detailing the existing strategy literature that connects competitive advantage and stakeholder relationships, and 3) arguing that competitive advantage is not sufficient, it needs to be augmented with a stakeholder focused cooperative advantage. Together, our response to the authors and the larger stakeholder perspective on corporate objectives offer a much‐needed human‐centric lens on how people coordinate their actions to create and trade value.

Hierarchical structured PVA-PLA nanofibrous membrane with "water-chestnut-like" surface morphology for water harvesting

In order to solve the problem that there is no clean water to drink in many parts of the world, researchers are trying to explore some unconventional strategies to take water from nature, such as fog collection. Herein, we constructed a hydrophilic/hydrophobic composite membrane with unique surface morphology by electrospinning as a new collection system. The surface layer is composed of water chestnut-like PVA particles, and the bottom layer is composed of directional polylactic acid fibers. The force acting on the droplets moving between the needle and the collector is studied in detail to explain the formation mechanism of water chestnut-like PVA particles. The small droplets formed by low concentration PVA solution are mainly affected by gravity electric field force. Due to the gradual volatilization of solvent, the decrease of concentration easily leads to the generation of beads. Due to the poor volatility of water, droplets continue to flow downward under the action of gravity and form water chestnut-like particles. When collecting fog, the area of water chestnut particles is larger than that of fibers, which make water droplets condense faster, and directional polylactic acid then conveys the collected fog water. Taking advantage of the synergistic cooperation of two regions, the surface can collect water with the collecting efficiency as high as 57 mg cm −2 h −1 . There is no doubt that these functional composite membranes will provide a new idea for developing a new way to solve the global water shortage problem. • Hierarchical structured PVA-PLA fiber membrane was prepared with unique morphology. • The formation mechanism of water-chestnut-like PVA particles was proposed. • Membrane with water-chestnut-like morphology provides a rapid accumulation of water.
