The auste-city model and bio-political strategies: re-visiting the urban space of Athens (Greece) during the crisis

ABSTRACTThis article offers a depiction of Athens focused on the consequences that the initial round of Memoranda measures (2012–2015) produced on its urban space. On a theoretical level, a strategic function of the Greek capital is posited, seeing it as an urban laboratory for testing debt policies; accordingly, the primary focus is on the neoliberal agenda set in motion there, mainly consisting of the combination of privatization programmes and the securitization of urban space. Consequently, some of the emerging critical issues – i.e. Rethink Athens and the cases of the Akadimia Platonos, Ellinikò and Aghios Panteleimonas neighbourhoods, alongside the most relevant bio-political tactics of social control - are encapsulated within a specific model of governance, named auste-city and specifically targeted at normalizing the ‘extraordinary’ state of economic crisis into an ultimate rule. The conclusion is that austerity is currently disclosing an opportunity for neoliberal forces to reorganize their own dominion.

An integrated approach to assessing the level of financial security of the region

The article is devoted to defining the concept of "financial security of the region"; the main indicators characterizing the financial security of Poltava region in the conditions of instability and economic crisis in the country; determination of financial security of Poltava region with integrated approach. The issue of ensuring the financial security of the region is quite urgent, due to the fact that current Ukrainian realities are characterized by macroeconomic, financial and political instability. The purpose of the work is to deep the theoretical foundations, consolidate the methodological approach and practical recommendations for improving the level of financial security of Poltava region. Objective: to research the essence of financial security of the region and to give its meaningful description; to characterize the integrated approach for determination of the level of financial security of the region; to analyze the financial security of Poltava region with an integrated approach. In the course of the research the following methods were used: theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, economic-statistical and graphical.

ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ESTIMATION OF THE ARTIFICIAL CLIMATE OBJECTS FOR WINTER GRAINS FROST HARDNESS

To have the selective practice under the conditions of different climatic changes and economic crisis it has appeared possible to use the estimation methods which correspond in particular to the before winter conditions. The selection of winter grains with the highest frost and winter hardness should be estimated under these conditions. Based on the long-term work on studying the problem of winter grains frost and winter hardness especially during the last 10 years it has been stated that the results determination of selection material frost hardness in the seeding boxes which are harden in natural conditions is doubtful due to daytime and nighttime temperature changes as well as to thaw and frost, that is why the given method of plant estimation on its frost hardness should be considered as supplementary.Sudden climatic changes contributes to it. Plant hardening under the nature extreme conditions ( soil bathes ones ) hard are more essential as compared to the fields ones. We managed to connect this year agrometeorological factors as well as to estimate and select frost-winter hardness plants as compared to the increased spike yielding. The study aimed at ecologic progeny testing under the natural provocative conditions (soil bathes) based on the studying of 111 strains of frost-winter hardness plants have been carried on. The purpose of the research was to get the plant off-springs which survived in the winter. To make winter wheat wintering more complicated we used special plastic cylinders which were placed on the soil bathes. The temperature changes are essential in such cylinders as in daytime the soil warming is better as compared to the one in the nighttime. The organic combination of the artificial climate conditions, the extreme nature temperature backgrounds with the fields ones,contribute to the ecological and economic efficient estimation as well as to plant selection, the off-springs of which can be the final selective material in new frost and winter hardness sort selecting. It makes it possible for the selectionist to estimate a great number of selective material due to its frost hardness level in the selection process primary portions as well as to differentiate the sorts according their characteristics. Also, it allows to fulfil the plant selection process with its further off-springs effectiveness.

Internal factors and firm value: A case study of banking listed companies

The weakening of the value of the rupiah against the US dollar has made Indonesia again experiencing economic crisis conditions. However, this condition did not make the performance of the banking sector share decline and vice versa, defeating nine other industrial sectors, this indicates that the firm value in the banking sector is still considered good by investors, which are the factors that influence the firm value? This study aims to analyze the factors that influence firm value in the banking sector and can be used by investors in making investment decisions. This research uses secondary data with 12 sample companies in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2011-2016 period using the purposive sampling method and panel data regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that the variable interest income, a debt-equity ratio (DER) and firm age (AGE) influence the firm value (FV), while the managerial ownership variables and earnings per share (EPS) do not affect the firm value (FV). The results of these studies are expected to help companies and investors in decision making. JEL Classification : G32, L25 DOI : https://doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v23i1.2405

The Transformation of the System of Leasing Relations in the Real Economy Sector

The article presents the analysis of the leasing mechanism as one of the main ways to improve technical and technological processes of various sectors of economy of the country. In the conditions of economic crisis and stagnation in economy the leasing instrument can positively affect the investment demand and the economy of a separate region and of the country in general. The increasing demand for leasing and its wide distribution in all branches will contribute to increasing their technical equipment, improving technological processes which could enable to overcome disproportion in the development of different of branches of economy of the country. The perspectives of the development of the leasing market in the Russian Federation will depend on the formation of consumer demand and on the value of such services; such consumer demand will timely meet all macroeconomic needs. The main factors of preserving demand for leasing in the conditions of economic and political instability must include the development of leasing relations and the state support of the leasing instrument by means of its subsidising, the high level of depreciation of fixed assets and the necessity to modernise them.

Systematization of crises and their reflection in the accounting system

Abstract. In the conditions of global economic crisis the development of recommendations and a search for possible ways out is an urgent problem for all economic entities. Analysis of economic literature allows us to assert that global economic crisis is intensifying and, thus, directly affects the economic situation in Ukraine. In light of economic, political, financial instability, an increase in the number of bankruptcies of domestic enterprises is characterized by increase of interest in the problems of investigating crises, the nature of their occurrence, prevention mechanisms and the search for innovative approaches to eliminate their consequences.Therefore, in our opinion, it is important to systematize crisis as an object of anti-crisis management, and clarify the concept of anti-crisis management to establish the relationship between the type of crises and the tools for managing them.The analysis of scientific approaches to the crisis, as an object of management, made it possible to improve the systematization of crisis phenomena and provide the definition of crisis management, which combines the methodology of preventive and reactive management, as well as to determine the role of accounting in the system of crisis management. Further research should be aimed at developing crisis management tools and methodological recommendations for their use.

Application of the Spectral Neighborhood of Soil Line Technique to Analyze the Intensity of Soil Use in 1985–2014 (by the Example of Three Districts of Tula Oblast)

The technique of separation of the spectral neighborhood of soil line (SNSL) makes it possible to perform quantitative estimates of the intensity of agricultural land use. This is achieved via calculation of the frequency of occurrence of bare soil surface (BSS). It is shown that the frequency of occurrence of BSS in 1984–1994 was linearly related to the soil type within the sequence of soddy strongly podzolic, soddy moderately podzolic, soddy slightly podzolic (Eutric Albic Glossic Retisols (Loamic, Aric, Cutanic, Differentic, Ochric)); light gray forest (Eutric Retisols (Loamic, Aric, Cutanic, Differentic, Ochric)), gray forest (Eutric Retisols (Loamic, Aric, Cutanic, Ochric)), and dark gray forest soils (Luvic Retic Greyzemic Phaeozems (Loamic, Aric)); podzolized chernozems (Luvic Greyzemic Chernic Phaeozems (Loamic, Aric, Pachic)) and leached chernozems (Luvic Chernic Phaeozems (Loamic, Aric, Pachic)). The intensity of exploitation of the least and most fertile soils in this sequence comprised 28 and 48%, respectively. In the next decade (1995–2004) the relationship between the type of soil and the intensity of its exploitation drastically changed; the intensity of exploitation of the leas and most fertile soils comprised 14 and 43%, respectively. Nearly a half of agricultural lands in the zones of soddy-podzolic and gray forest soils were abandoned, because the cultivation of the soils with the natural fertility below that in the podzolized chernozems became economically unfeasible under conditions of the economic crisis of the 1990s. The spatiotemporal relationships between the character of the soil cover and the intensity of exploitation of the agricultural lands manifest themselves by the decreasing frequency of occurrence of BSS from leached chernozems to soddy strongly podzolic soils and from 1985 to 2014.

The New Generation (Late Neoclassical) Theories in Economics, the Transformation of the State and the Reflection to the Development Paradigm

The current global economic crisis has led to a growing dissatisfaction with the neo-liberal economic paradigm that became more widely known as the Washington Consensus. Washington Consensus which is as a type of free market capitalism is neoclassical economics greatly influenced by neo-liberalism, particularly in its anti-state attitudes, as with deregulation, privatization and liberalization. While the paradigm itself evolved from the late 1990s, in a more nuanced approach under the guise of a post-Washington Consensus, began to recognize a role for the state in correcting for market (largely informational) failures, neo-liberalism largely superseded by the new mainstream economics or late neoclassical economics – namely the new institutional economics, new growth theory, new economic geography and so on. Unlike the mainstream neoclassical economic paradigm the late neoclassical economics is based on the idea that markets are imperfect. Theoretically the late neoclassical economics, upon which the post-Washington Consensus draws, explain both market and non-market outcomes as the rational response to market imperfections. There is now widespread recognition, in some quarters, at least, that the state should engage in a more active role in guiding industrial development, primarily to negate market failure and to overcome the negative conditions of global economic crisis. This paper is largely focused on the paradigm shift of neo-liberalism, primarily from the market fundamentalism to negate market failure, government transformation in the light of late neoclassical theories in economics, and also seeks to demonstrate that policies based on this new paradigm, governments shifted slightly to a revised neoliberal model that approved different version of (market-friendly) state intervention.

Еволюція теорії ціноутворення та їх вплив на формування ціни на продукцію військового призначення

В статті проведено аналіз розвитку теорії цін і ціноутворення, які розглядалися в теорії трудової вартості, теорії граничної корисності та завершуючи сучасними напрямами неокласичного синтезу, що становлять теоретичну основу сучасних досліджень ринкового господарства. Пізнання економічної природи ціни відзначається за наступними етапними: кількісна теорія грошей, яка отримала широке поширення у вигляді “рівняння обміну” (MV = PQ); теорія трудової вартості визначає ціну як грошовий вираз мінової вартості товару; теорія граничної корисності де ціна представляється у вигляді оцінки граничної корисності даного блага, ціна є грошовий вираз кінцевої або граничної корисності економічного блага. Дані теорії не враховують специфіки ціноутворення на продукцію військового призначення, адже дана продукція має специфічні характеристики, а саме: єдиний покупець це держава, в більшості випадків присутня монополія на даний вид продукції тощо. Тому виникає необхідність розробки методології ціноутворення на продукцію військового призначення.

ІННОВАЦІЇ В СИСТЕМІ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

In the article a role and value of innovative activity is considered as a major factor of improvement of the system of economic security of enterprise. The necessity of innovative development of the systems of economic security is caused that in the conditions of permanent economic crisis on activity of enterprise threats which constantly exist and develop in an external and internal environment render negative influence. In these terms for providing steady activity and development of enterprise permanent attention is needed to spare development of his system of economic security. In order that the system of economic security could adequately counteract not only to those threats which exist presently, but also that can arise up in the nearest and remote prospect it is necessary it constantly to modernize. It can be carried out only on condition of development and introduction of innovations. In the article the model of innovative activity is offered in the system of economic security of enterprise. Development and introduction of innovations in the field of economic security is a difficult process success of which depends on the row of objective and subjective factors. Including from position of leaders of enterprise in regard to innovative development of his system of economic security, and also present intellectual, financial, material and technical and other resources without which to develop and inculcate innovations extremely difficultly, and it is practically impossible in a number of cases. For successful realization of innovative activity it is necessary to create such control the system, which is able to carry out monitoring of unsafe for an enterprise processes which take a place in an economy, in good time to expose and estimate existing and to forecast appearance of new threats. And also to analyse the real state of the system of economic security of enterprise, expose its weak sides and determine its segments which above all things require modernization on the basis of introduction of innovations.

Social Ethics of European Civilizational Project of Ukraine

The article deals with the problems to conceptualize social ethics of democratic transformation in post-soviet society. Special attention is paid to the role of European social standards in the process of realizing the European civilization choice of Ukraine. It is also stressed here that European social standards remain a key factor making a project of European integration so attractive for the majority of Ukrainians. Special role of a stage by stage solution of a so-called «social approach» on the way to all-rounded humanization of state-forming strategies of European nations and of the system of European international relations in general is being stressed here. The main emphasis is also laid on the historical role of common European values. An attempt is made here to elucidate the above problems in correspondence with the ones expressed in the National report «Civilizational choice of Ukraine — a paradigm of cognition and a strategy to act» (2016), prepared by the leading scholars of Ukrainian Academy of Science. It is also accentuated that decisive factor to achieve success in joining the space of European unity is in integrity of understanding the ideas of Freedom and Justice. Since internal and external components of European freedom and justice are so closely intertwined that their separate interpretation in author’s opinion has no epistemological perspective. In conditions of world economic crisis the configuration, dynamics and content of integrational processes both in Europe and in post-soviet countries are being substantially changed while preserving basic system factors. Stable economic prosperity and social progress are becoming more and more dependent on world economic situation. At the same time, social welfare of citizens in some countries as well as their authority in contemporary world fully depend on moral-ethical maturity of national elites, level of confidence in society, general level of culture and the rate of individual responsibility of citizens for their future. With this view we consider the role of social ethics in general context of forming new theoretical and methodological basis of contemporary historical science. The utter importance of social problems for adequate understanding of crisis phenomena in political, economic and cultural life of the European Union after several stages of substantial expansion is being underlined. Special place of «European social model» in contemporary scientific and political discourse is being emphasized. It is underlined that nowadays we speak not only about rational and pragmatic correction of logic of international interaction but about radical change of all logic of internal social interaction, about formation and application of qualitatively new theory of making decisions. The above problems acquire special meaning in modern conditions of sharpening geopolitical competition concerning Ukraine. Real social result of Ukrainian civilizational choice directly influences the process of this competition, as it directly defines the position of both Ukrainian citizens and citizens of European Union countries. Modern financial and migration crisis of EU only enhances the influence of social factor on collective consciousness of «old» and «new» Europeans, frequently engendering rather dangerous tendencies in European life. The author tries to accentuate the importance of the idea of a serious social optimization strategy of European integration of Ukraine while considering qualitatively new external and internal conditions of National progress.

Manipulative use ofriskas a stance in political communication

As in many other areas of life, the notion of risk has recently become central to discourses related to politics. This research article shows how political and media representatives use the notion of risk in their rhetoric, making it an important part of and a powerful resource for manipulation. It is demonstrated how stances taken by speakers on different political issues reflect their social, political and moral views, showing that risk has become a common construct around which a political situation in the modern world is described, organized and practiced. In most general terms, stance is understood here as the way of expressing one’s viewpoint concerning the object of interaction, which in this study is risk. The theoretical background of the research is situated within socially constructivist approaches to discourse analysis. We argue that risk has become one of the defining social and cultural characteristics of modern society. The research focuses on the ways stances on risks are constructed at the linguistic level by means of certain structural and formal qualities, and on how these linguistic features are related to social interaction under the conditions of political, moral, economic and social crisis in Ukraine.

To Issue of Mathematical Management Methods Applied for Investment-Building Complex under Conditions of Economic Crisis

In the article the authors consider a cognitive management method of the investment-building complex in the crisis conditions. The factors influencing the choice of an investment strategy are studied, the basic lines of the activity in the field of crisis-management from a position of mathematical modelling are defined. The general approach to decision-making on investment in real assets on the basis of the discrete systems based on the optimum control theory is offered. With the use of a discrete maximum principle the task in view of the decision is found. The numerical algorithm to define the optimum control is formulated by investments. Analytical decisions for the case of constant profitability of the basic means are obtained.

DANCING DROPS ON THE WATER WITH AIKIDO ELEMENTS OR DEVELOPMENT OF LIBRARY PUBLISHING IN UNIVERSITIES OF UKRAINE

Libraries, which are engaged in digital publishing, the author compares with the drops dancing on the unstable surface of water. As if using the aikido philosophy, libraries redirect negative, aggressive energy of hostile influence to their own advantage and create a dance harmony of movements – the Library Publishing project. The article considered the Library Publishing activities of the university libraries of the world. The libraries of Ukrainian universities, basing their own publishing strategies and services on the experience of their foreign colleagues, are rapidly increasing the potential for mass implementation of the digital library publishing in their activities. In the author’s opinion, it is publishing services based on digital models and open access resources that can provide real help of the libraries to their universities in the conditions of economic crisis and military operations in the East of Ukraine. It is proved that the university libraries ofUkrainehave been demonstrating extreme activity in the provision of library publishing services during 2014–2017. According to preliminary general results of the all-Ukrainian research «Library Publishing Services in the Universities of Ukraine» (May–June 2017; 111 responding libraries), the library publishing services for today are: a) separate activity – 23.4 % of libraries; b) separate services – 30.6 %; c) not practiced, but planned – 36 %; d) neither practiced nor planned – about 10 %. The Library Publishing philosophy interpretation is provided.
