Analytical Information Processing Research Articles

БОЕВАЯ СЛУЖБА ГРИГОРИЯ ЧЕРНЫШЕВА В ПЕРИОД АЗОВСКИХ ПОХОДОВ И СЕВЕРНОЙ ВОЙНЫ (1695–1714 ГГ.)

The purpose of the article is to study the period of the regular army formation during the reign of the Russian sovereign Peter the Great. It is noted that the specific circumstances of general G.Р. Chernyshev’s participation in the wars of Peter the Great’s era are very imperfectly covered in sources and scientific works, the last of which belongs to the 19-th century. Due to the systematization and analytical processing of the available information, the author supplements the episodes of the combat biography of one of the most capable representatives of the command staff of the Russian armed forces, who won victory to the country in the Great Northern War of 1700–1721.

Functional independence of a planned economic analysis and assessment within the framework of a special subsystem of functionally developed systems of strategic control of special purposes by enterprises

A radical improvement in the organization of integrated economic analysis and evaluation in these production units can be achieved, as evidenced by practical experience, provided that a significant shortage of existing and designed functionally developed special purpose strategic management systems is eliminated by creating and developing in them an independent subsystem of analytical processing of technical and technical processing information that could provide integrated functional development of this critical function government. Separation of analytical processing of technical and economic information data (indicators) into an independent functional subsystem of functionally developed systems of strategic management of special purpose by scientific-industrial associations and enterprises of industry, in our opinion, objectively, first, from the independent role of this function. in the process of management, secondly, from the systemic aspects of the problem, that is, the systematic approach, and, thirdly, it is confirmed by all previous practice of development of functionally developed the strategic regulation of special purpose enterprises of industry and research and production associations, which showed that local functional development of single tasks is not able to provide any significant improvement in the organization of the function of systematic (complete) economic analysis and evaluation at enterprises. All the above points in favor of the third approach - functional independence of analytical processing of technical and economic information data (integrated economic analysis and evaluation) within the special subsystem of functionally developed systems of strategic management of special purpose by industrial associations and enterprises of industry. It is this approach that has received confirmation and consolidation of its theoretical and methodological basis in the regulation of scientific-industrial associations and industrial enterprises, which establishes the general provisions for the industries and requirements for the construction and operation of management systems (including functionally developed systems of strategic management special purpose)by industrial associations and enterprises.

Monitoring the importance of improving the subsystem of systematic economic analysis and evaluation at enterprises of industry, scientific and industrial unions

One of the reasons that at present in research and production associations and industrial enterprises, according to the degree of implementation, analysis is almost the most backward management function, in our opinion, is still insufficient attention on the part of economic services of these production links to issues of formation of analytical information processing. Having overcome, in principle, the psychological barrier of misunderstanding the advantages of using modern computer technology in production management, the economic services of enterprises in a number of cases have not yet realized that they should be both initiators of the functional development of the management system and direct participants in the new technology for the implementation of management functions, including and analysis function. The use of electronic digital machines in economic analysis is one of the indispensable conditions for achieving its efficiency and complexity. The problem of improving the function of economic analysis is becoming the subject of increasing attention, both from a large number of specialists, and from higher education institutions and various research organizations. The increasing attention to the problem of improving integrated economic analysis is evidenced by the fact that it is the subject of consideration at International, All-Ukrainian, Regional scientific and practical conferences, seminars and is significantly reflected in the recommendations of these forums. At the same time, it should be noted that the methodology of the approach, the breadth of coverage in solving the problem, the focus and depth of development in many cases by different authors are far from the same and not equivalent. Therefore, when conducting an analytical review of scientific publications, in our opinion, it is advisable to evaluate existing developments in a certain order, namely: firstly, works that emphasize the importance and need to improve the function of economic analysis without indicating specific ways to solve this problem; secondly, works examining specific forms of organizing economic analysis in management systems. The latter, in particular, include: works in which the dispersal and implementation of individual analysis tasks are proposed as part of various functional subsystems of the control system; works whose authors consider it possible to combine the tasks of economic analysis with the tasks of other management functions in one of the generally accepted subsystems of the management system; works in which the allocation of analysis tasks to an independent functional subsystem of the control system is justified.

The theory and practice from annotating and summarizing scientific texts as important elements of specialist substantiation information support certain theoretical aspects specialist’s professional mobility problem formation was covered at the article. The author notes that the future scholars’ educational process main place should be occupied with training in annotating and summarizing professional-oriented texts. The regarding the publication of the results of scientific and practical activities of each specialist task is determined. An annotation and summarization are considered as processes of analytical-synthetic information coagulation. The attention is paid on the annotation and abstract functions. The basic informational components of annotations, essays and examples of the most frequently used marker words are shown. It is noted that the specificity of working with scientific text arises from the task to carry out analytical-synthetic processing of textual information in the most efficient way, which in turn requires the formation of two interrelated skills – analyze the text with a compositional semantic structure and present the received information in a concise with the requirements of various genres of written production. The obtained information product in the form of concentrated information can be effectively used by the user-researcher. The systematic analytic-synthetic textual information processing and the specialist’s creative research abilities forming and development the position is upheld.The successful possession of the means of annotation and summarization as a process of analytical and synthetic information processing will allow you to professionally generalize the working material; determine the necessary amount of information for further professional activity providing a constructive approach to the performance of the theoretical and applied research tasks and is a significant element of information support of professional mobility of specialist as conclusions are formulated.

Variety-Seeking Behavior and Information Processing in Choosing a Vacation Destination

This study investigates broad versus specific levels of perceived variety seeking when choosing a vacation destination. In general, consumers use two criteria to evaluate where to vacation: the novelty of the destination relative to their current place and the potential variety of activities offered. Consumers’ perception about these criteria is regulated at a broad level through spatial distance information, and at a specific level through activity information. Findings from experiments indicate that people prefer taking vacations to distant (vs. close) places. However, when both types of vacation information are available, people prefer a destination with more activities regardless of spatial distance. Process evidence suggests that analytic (vs. holistic) information processing and variety seeking at a specific (vs. broad) level drive the findings.

Individual Styles of Summary Writing: Approaches to Styles Description and Diagnostics

The article represents the analysis of individual styles of summary writing with the aim to describe them, and verify the methods of their defining (diagnosis). The purpose of the paper is to determine the scientific status, and also to substantiate the pragmatic function of individual summary writing styles in order to improve the quality of students’ preparation for this type of written activity in the process of learning foreign languages. The main goal of the authors is to prove that the individual style of summary writing is conditioned by socio-cultural and personal factors that influence the ability to perceive and process the source text and generate a secondary text — a summary. Materials and methods. As a methodological basis, the authors rely on the learner-centered and intercultural approaches to teaching. The solution of research problems was ensured through the use of a set of interrelated methods: theoretical (analysis of literature, of available domestic and foreign experience), general scientific (classification, differentiation, comparison, generalization), as well as empirical (experimental work, content analysis of activity products — summaries, statistical data processing). The material for research is summaries which are regarded as products of written speech by Russian-speaking and English-speaking students of an economics university. Results. The research identifies and characterizes lingvocognitive styles of summary writing specific for English and Russian language speakers, that reflect nationally and personally conditioned approaches to analytical and synthetic processing of information. We prove experimentally and statistically reliably the fact that Russian-speaking students are characterized by differentiating, scanning style of summary writing, while English-speaking students — by integrating, fragmenting style of summary writing. The systematization of the results of the summaries’ content analysis has demonstrated the use by the learners of their personal experience for perception, processing of the source text and in the generation of the text of a summary. Conclusions. The obtained results help to optimize the process of preparing students for writing summaries in the conditions of intercultural communication, taking into account the individual style of summary writing

MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS: THE ESSENCE AND SIGNIFICANCE IN DECISION-MAKING

The financial crisis experienced by the Ukrainian economy has a negative impact on the financial and economic activity of enterprises, the results of which are of interest both for external and internal users. Under these conditions, the role of management analysis, which is intended to transform economic and non-economic information into suitable for decision-making, is growing. The analysis is closely related to all management functions and ensures their implementation, and therefore it is a general management function. In the economic literature there are different interpretations of the definition of “management analysis” depending on the basic characteristics. Thus, one of the most common features is managerial, according to which three components of management analysis can be distinguished, i.e. perspective (predictive) analysis, operational analysis and current (retrospective) analysis, each of which is inherent in the solution of their own tasks. A market economy requires differentiation of analysis into internal managerial and external financial. Consumers of analytical information for the management and financial analysis have different user groups, but their content can only have characteristics that correspond their interest and protect commercial secrets. The subjects of internal management analysis are the administration, as well as the auditors and consultants involved by it. The subjects of financial analysis are the administration of the economic entity and external users. In addition, it should be noted that management analysis includes in its system not only production, but also financial analysis, without which enterprise’s management cannot implement the financial strategy of the enterprise. We believe that it is advisable to introduce such a concept as a comprehensive management analysis. This type of managerial analysis is designed to justify managerial decisions that are made at the enterprise, which operates under conditions of globalization of the market processes. The main features of managerial analysis are orientation towards internal users; comprehensive study of all aspects of the enterprise's activities; integration of accounting, analysis, planning and decision-making at the enterprise; lack of regulation from the outside; use of all available sources of information; orientation of analytical procedures for the assessment of business activities; justification of managerial decisions based on the identification of unused opportunities; confidential nature; perspective orientation of results of the analysis; industry orientation. Management analysis is the analysis of business activity aimed at making optimal managerial decisions. Correctness and effectiveness of managerial analysis affects the main results such as the profit, which subsequently becomes the object of financial analysis, so that each of these types of analysis solves its own problem of a single strategy of analysis at the enterprise. The place of analysis in the management process can be characterized by its objectives. There arises a need to combine quantitative and qualitative analysis of managerial processes, as well as to improve analytical support of the decision-making process. The correctness of the decisions made depends on the full access of managers to analytical data that reveal the state of financial and economic activity of the enterprise and the lack of which negatively affects different levels of management. Accounting information for the management purposes at any level should be properly prepared and interpreted on the basis of certain methods of analysis. In general, the technological process of making managerial decisions can be represented in the form of a sequence of stages and procedures that have direct and reciprocal links that form an information flow. At the same time, in the process of adoption and implementation of managerial decisions, it is a general practice to distinguish the following steps: setting of goals; support of the solution complexity; provision of information sources for the decision-making; verification of consequences of implementation of possible variants; evaluation of results. The timeliness of managerial decisions is achieved through constant and systematic analytical processing of information, which enables to identify quickly negative or positive trends in the activities of enterprises, their possible consequences and factors that affect them. The effectiveness of the decision made depends both on its optimality and the form of transfer to the executors (construction of decisions and personal qualities of executives and performers). Fuller and most accurate definition of the management analysis is to be specified. Management analysis is the analysis that is confidential, oriented to internal users, prospect-oriented and conducted taking into account the industry specificity of the analyzed object. The term “managerial analysis” refers to the interrelations of the management analysis with management accounting and economic analysis. On the one hand, it is based on the data of management accounting, and on the other hand, it uses methods and procedures of economic analysis (qualitative, quantitative, fundamental, marginal, economic and mathematical, express analysis).

Abstracting lexocigraphical works

The increasing interest towards abstracting as a type of analytical and synthetical information processing due to science globalization trend, is emphasized. The professionals who study this primary information compression are bibliographers, linguists, and information specialists. The author argues that modern professors and students all have to and must learn abstracting in accordance with the international standards for scientific, research, reference and instructional works.The author points to the diversity of the national lexicographical studies and, based on the abstracts index obtained as a result of her study, characterizes the current trends in abstracting linguistic dictionaries. The key user groups are defined. Publishers’ abstracts of dictionaries are discussed and represented. The example of dictionary Internet-based abstract analysis is given (50 items). Based on the abstracts texts, main negative factors to impact information value of this secondary information source are revealed, that is: lacking data essential for users, incomplete description of targeted readership, etc.The author introduces a model plan for digital guides of Russian lexicographical works and complements the plan with the systematic aspect analysis. She concludes that abstracting is an intellectually intensive process. It is underexplored as far as lexicographical works are concerned, and offers many possibilities for further studies.

Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Automating Multivariate Analysis Procedures

This paper addresses some important theoretical and applied aspects of modern computer science that are associated with analytical processing of scientific, technical, and economic information. The main trends in using automated non-parametric procedures for logical and mathematical processing of arrays (flows) of digital data are discussed. Some methodological aspects of developing new technological approaches and algorithms for analytical post-processing that allow one to design a wide range of multi-step procedures for assessment and multivariate analysis of scientific, technical, and economic data based on polygram estimation of functionals are considered. It is shown that the procedures and algorithms based on these methods of non-parametric statistics and multivariate data analysis can be useful in various applications, including the development of analytical technologies for big data.

Personality systems, spirituality, and existential well-being: A person-centered perspective.

Recent research on the salutogenic benefits of spirituality and religiosity has yielded inconsistent findings. It is suggested that such discrepancies reflect individual differences in personality, but this cannot be investigated with variable-driven approaches. The present study measured the influence of personality on the relationship between spirituality and existential well-being (EWB) from the perspective of Personality Systems Interaction theory-an approach focused on functional relationships between cognitive and affective systems, using Latent Profile Analysis. Three major results emerged: First, we identified discrete Analytical, Intuitive, and Flexible personality profiles resembling closely the prototypes reported elsewhere. Second, while preferences for intuitive cognitive processing resulted in high scores on all dimensions of spirituality and EWB, the reverse was true for individuals prone to analytical information processing, replicating previous research. Third, EWB operates independently from other spirituality dimensions, and relates differentially to distinct personality profiles. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved).

Analyzing Individual Differences in Creative Performance: A Case Study on the Combinational Ideation Method in the Interior Design Process

Research on creative performance indicates that a combination of the primary sources such as known concepts and existing ideas plays an important role in the generation of new ideas. Although studies show a link between the combinational approach to ideation and creativity, how individual differences in cognitive styles are related to this approach is not well understood. This exploratory study examines the domain–specific relationship between individuals’ cognitive styles and improvement of creative performance within the structured combinational ideation process where mixing various ideas is encouraged. Fifty interior design students enrolled in the second year of an interior design program at a Midwestern university participated in this study. The workshop designed for this study was structured in the following stages: initial design (ID) + the combinational ideation process (the variation process [VP] + the combination process [CP]) + final design (FD). The participants’ creative performance was measured at the ID and the FD phases by three experts. Findings indicated that intuitive individuals generally showed the highest creativity in the ID phase, but they showed a decrease of creativity in the FD, implying that a structured combinational ideation method might not be the best method for intuitive individuals. In contrast, individuals possessing an adaptive and an analytical information processing style showed an increase of creativity in the FD after completing the structured combinational ideation process, suggesting that students with a nonintuitive cognitive style benefit most from this method. The result of this research will provide design educators with meaningful insight into the instruction methods that take students’ cognitive styles into consideration, especially in helping nonintuitive students who struggle in the ideation process.

Investors' Processing of Financial Communications: A Persuasion Perspective

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we provide a comprehensive summary of persuasion theories from a variety of fields (e.g., psychology, marketing, and economics) and describe how these theories can enhance our understanding of how investors process and respond to financial communications (e.g., firm disclosures and analyst research reports). We draw on dual-process theories of persuasion to describe the circumstances under which an investor's response to a financial disclosure is likely to represent the investor's intuition or reflect more deliberate and analytical processing of financial information. Examples from the financial accounting literature are used to illustrate how dual-process thinking and reasoning operate within a financial reporting domain. In addition, we offer broad suggestions on how financial accounting researchers can use the psychology of persuasion to understand and form empirical predictions about investor processing of and reaction to managers' and analysts' financial disclosures.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE OF THE MECHANIZED OIL WELL STOCK

Background. Modern information systems, designed to facilitate the adoption of optimal solutions, should provide information in a convenient, meaningful form. Processing, transformation and conversion of information to an accessible, visual form is provided by means of Business Intelligence (BI). Business Intelligence are methods and means of presenting raw information in a meaningful and convenient form, easily accessible to perception and capable of making the right decisions. Aims and Objectives. The analysis of the performance of a mechanized well stock, operated by NK «Rosneft» PJSC and supervised by RN-UfaNIPIneft LLC is presented. The level of information usage in decision making in NK «Rosneft» PJSC often does not exceed 20 %, which is explained by its large volume and heterogeneity of the presentation, leading to the complexity of its perception. Results. The principles of implementing BI in the developed tools of analytics are given, where five stages of work with information are distinguished: 1. Information search, loading and storage of the initial information; 2. Interactive analytical processing of information; 3. Warning of deviation from expected results; 4. Business analytics; 5. Business reporting. The implemented tools of regular and flexible accounting are considered. Means for the formation of monthly regulatory reports help to reduce the labor costs for their formation from several days to minutes. The introduction of standardized approaches to the calculation of key performance indicators will facilitate the possibility of their comparison between the various structures of NK «Rosneft» PJSC. Transition from «manual» to automated calculation of a number of parameters will increase their accuracy, which will positively affect the efficiency of the work of NK «Rosneft» PJSC in a whole.
