Enhancing the entrepreneurial process in biotechnology

Entrepreneurship in Brazil is thriving, driving the economy and benefiting society. However, in biotechnology, entrepreneurs face unique challenges, requiring broad technological knowledge due to regulation and competitiveness, spanning different areas of activity. In this context, this study proposes an approach to promote entrepreneurship in biotechnology, aiming to support and empower entrepreneurs in this challenging environment. The research involved literature review and focused interviews, using storytelling technique to describe the profile of biotechnology entrepreneurs through their stories. Gaps in the entrepreneurial process were identified, including lack of knowledge in business management and the need to seek opportunities to raise funds and add value to the product. Developing entrepreneurial competence in biotechnology requires establishing networks for partnerships, recognizing differences between academia and industry, and implementing effective management.

AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES IN THE ROMANIAN AGRI FOOD SYSTEM

In the recent years, agricultural markets and supply chains have been quite strongly affected, in an unprecedented geopolitical and economic context, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, climate change and the challenges of implementing the European Green Deal. Under these conditions, food has once again emerged as a central element of life, alongside health, and healthy eating for all depends more on social and economic conditions than on the technical aspects of food production and processing. Thus, the need to rethink and revalue local productions, supply chains and the links established at territorial level, in order to increase the resilience of agri-food systems and ensure their sustainable development, emerged. The cooperative model is considered to be suitable to address the challenges generated by transitions to sustainability, and agricultural cooperatives can significantly contribute to increasing the resilience of agri-food systems. Many agricultural cooperatives, from different countries of the world, have managed to adapt to the new situation, proving that they are important entities in the agri-food system. In this paper, we tried to identify some particularities regarding the changes in the cooperative system in Romania, in recent years, as a reaction to the challenges that the agri-food system has to face. For this purpose, we analysed the evolution of agricultural cooperatives before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and estimated the market share in different areas of activity with significant turnover, the evolution of some economic indicators, as well as their dynamics by counties and regions in an attempt to identify their development trends.

Digital Transformation and Technological Innovation in Contemporary Society

Abstract In this article, I have tried to focus on the issues of need, benefits, advantages, and systemic vulnerabilities brought about by the introduction, development, and changes brought about by artificial intelligence, which is seen as an opportunity to provide quality public services. The article addresses the need to improve creative invention and innovation processes in the public and private sectors, highlighting the importance of digital transformation in the economic, social, technological and managerial fields. In this context, it is noted that digital transformation efforts focus mainly on large-scale changes to processes, systems, and operating models, while digital innovation is applied on a smaller scale and over a shorter period of time. One of the key elements of innovation is that it benefits from the use of artificial intelligence as the hardware and software systems it works with become more powerful. The review has shown that, in addition to the positive effects of the use of AI in different areas of activity, there are many concerns about the creation of a superintelligence that could replace the human factor or limit its access to different areas of activity. Important aspects of technological innovation based on AI were addressed and clarifications were made on the interaction between technology and AI. The article also highlights aspects related to the need to adopt and implement artificial intelligence and technologies based on it at the level of Romanian society, as a prerequisite and necessity on the evolutionary path to survive in a global market based on supply and demand.

The role of family, peers and school in political socialization: Quantitative and qualitative study of Polish young adults’ experiences

Studies carried out in different countries identify young people as the least politically engaged age cohort. Since political interest and participation are largely shaped by socialization agents, such as parents, peers and school, the objective of our research is to explore the role of each agent within the Polish context. Results of two studies, quantitative (n = 570) and qualitative (44 individual in-depth interviews), show that young Poles’ political interest and participation are indeed influenced by parents, peers and school, though the impact of each agent is related to different areas of activity. We separate those practices that have a constructive effect on political engagement from those that impact it in a destructive way. Finally, we provide a model of political socialization including the specific role of each agent and consider their potential for increasing young people’s political engagement.

LIFTING POTENTIAL DIFFICULTIES AMONG STUDENTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES

A foreign language is a compulsory subject in all universities of our country, since in the modern world specialists in various activity fields need to work with documentation in a foreign language, study relevant content on the Internet relevant to the profession, and interact with foreign colleagues. Therefore, the problem of the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language is relevant for future specialists in completely different areas of activity.

INFORMATION SECURITY CHALLENGE OF MODERN SOCIETY

Information security is vital for all living organisms, people, organizations and society as a whole, since information security is the basis of all life activities. The ambiguity of understanding the terms “information” and “security” leads to the need to clarify the conceptual apparatus on the problem of ensuring information security. The article reveals the meaning of information security as a challenge to modern society. The concept of “information security” is clarified. Information security is considered in terms of privacy protection, security of organizational operations and cybersecurity. The author's understanding of information security is given from the point of view of the organization's management, of individual subjects, and society. It is substantiated that people simultaneously use information security, provide it, and are also subject to information threats. Information security requires certain competencies, skills and actions from organizations and individuals, both in professional and personal life. Appropriate competencies are needed in education, research and social activities. To manage activities to ensure information security, a multi-disciplinary approach and interaction of organizations from different areas of activity of the human community is required. This determines the need for the members of society to master the competencies of information security, which is one of the tasks of modern education. The standardized requirements for the protection of personal data and confidentiality that exist in the EU, which must be observed by organizations and administrations, can serve as guidelines for the formation of information security competencies and for its provision in practice. The existence of standards provides a systematic and consistent practice of risk management and security.

The article analyzes the views of scientists on the use of lapbooking in elementary schools. It is found that the methodology of lapbooking allows you to unlock the potential of each student in the process of creating individual or more often collective work. In particular, the lapbook forms key skills and abilities, which are required by the educational vector of the New Ukrainian School. In addition, it takes into account cross-curricular learning and social competencies, which help each individual to become successful and adapt in society. The article proves that the use of Lapbooks is reasonable not only when studying a single topic, but also as a complex, systemic type of work, as close to the project and research activities as possible. It was found out that the introduction of lapbooking at different stages of studying subjects is effective, as it covers different types of activity: pair and group work; search methods and work with information (ability to work with sources, generalize and systematize, draw conclusions, formulate own statements concisely and informatively). It is noted that the technique of lapbooking can be applied as early as preschool age with a gradual complication of high school. Consequently, the general essence of lapbooking is systematized with the help of integrative diagrams and charts. It is determined that the educational industry must be flexible to timely respond to changes in society and provide the professional market with specialists, successful and active citizens who are able not only to adapt, but also to realize themselves. The innovativeness of the lapbooking method is that it combines different areas of activity simultaneously: informational, research, design, communicative, creative, technological, aesthetic. The results of the study allow us to recommend lapbooking as the main method of work in elementary school (when studying any topic or academic subject).

GEOGRAPHIC IDENTIFIERS AS A BASIS FOR INTEGRATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA

The article examines the subject, idea, role and meaning of geographic identifiers to ensure the integration of geospatial data in seamless topographic databases and national spatial data infrastructure in accordance with the national standard DSTU ISO 19112: 2017 (ISO 19112: 2003, IDT) Geographic information. Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers.
 The main direction of development of topographic and geodetic activity in Ukraine is the development of the national spatial data infrastructure based on the principles of geoinformation approach. The national spatial data infrastructure is seen as a system of integration of geospatial data of different origins from different sources, and most importantly from different areas of activity. The system of integration of heterogeneous data acquires special value at connection of a set of basic data with the thematic data which provide an array of attributive information from various kinds of activity. It is through geographic identifiers that geospatial coordinate descriptions of features are linked to an array of attribute data that does not have a direct positioning. Geographic identifiers can be the following: codifier of administrative-territorial units and territories of territorial communities, cadastral number of the land plot, address, geographic name, etc.
 Therefore, the aim of the article is to study the requirements for the use of geographic identifiers for the integration of sets of basic and thematic geospatial data of the national geospatial data infrastructure in accordance with DSTU ISO 19112:2017 (ISO 19112:2003, IDT).
