Different Forms Of Organization Research Articles

Unravelling the organisation of ivorian cyberfraudsters: Criminal networks or organised crime?

This article delves into the organisation of Ivorian cyberfraudsters, known as “brouteurs”, who engage in romance scams and sextorsion, and it questions the various structures through which these fraudsters operate. The study's findings are based on data collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with cyber-fraudsters in Abidjan during a two-month field trip. The statements made by the brouteurs were analysed using thematic content analysis, which highlighted various roles and activities undertaken assumed by different individuals within these groups. A relatively clear trend emerges regarding the structure of these groups and the social connections within their organisation. It is possible to distinguish between sextorsion and romance scam groups, on one hand non-hierarchical and more fluid and opportunistic, on the other hierarchical, with defined roles and activities, engaged in other serious offenses. Both have international connections, may them be accomplices, money mules, underground bankers or corrupt public agents. While brouteurs acknowledge that "Everyone is part of a network.", these first results show different forms of organisation of cybercriminal Ivorian groups. The question which follows is whether these groups constitute cybercriminal networks or organised cybercrime. Future research in this direction, such as the development of crime scripts, can help institutions take effective measures to combat the transnationalisation of cyberfraud.

Social media in accounting research: A review and future research agenda

In recent years, accounting scholars have shown growing interest in utilizing social media (SM) for research. Using a structured literature review of 86 articles, this study aims to reconcile insights from diverse literature to understand the current trends in SM accounting research and propose an agenda for future studies. Our findings reveal that SM accounting research is still at an early stage despite the increase of articles in recent years. In particular, we find that most studies focus on (publicly listed) corporate use of SM (mostly Twitter and Facebook) to disseminate financial and non-financial information in the North American and European regions. However, there is still a limited understanding of how SM interactions among various parties may push for greater transparency in different forms of organizations and in countries where stakeholder interests are less protected. While SM studies use system-oriented (such as institutional, legitimacy, and stakeholder theories) and economic-based theories, most studies only use SM as an empirical platform and rely on empirically developed arguments without reference to explicit theories. Finally, we identify common research themes and suggest promising avenues for future accounting research.

Current issues of specialized education in the field of sports

The article is devoted to the topical issue of defining the essence of specialized education in the field of sports. The general trend of the development of the senior school is its focus on specialized training, orientation on wide differentiation, variability, multi-specialty, integration of general and pre-professional education. Specialized education is one of the key areas of modernization and improvement of the education system of our country. The model of specialized education in the conditions of specialized sports school can have different forms of organization. According to its structure and tasks, it is based on a certain profile, which involves accentuated study of a cycle of related subjects: basic, specialized and elective courses. Regarding to physical education, the basic general education subject is physical culture. Physical culture as a component of general culture lays the foundations for the preservation of health and the development of all its components, uses a comprehensive approach to the formation of mental and physical abilities and skills, improves physical and psychological training for active life, forms priorities for health-oriented physical lifestyle and provides a general cultural personality development. In the conditions of the specialized school of sports profile, it is possible to implement the tasks of specialized education according to kinds of sports in-depth study. In-depth study of sports is carried out either according to special programs and textbooks developed for a specialized subject, or according to the modular principle. In general, specialized education in the conditions of a specialized sports school should be aimed at general personality development, physical and psychological training of pupils, acquisition of general educational profile and initial pre-professional training in the field of physical education.

Формы организации научно-исследовательской работы студентов в научных студенческих кружках университетов Российской империи в конце XIX – начале XX века

The paper examines the features of organisation of students’ academic research work in the practice of scientific student groups at higher education institutions of the Russian Empire in order to identify the most effective forms of work that have not lost their relevance in the development of student science today. The paper presents the specifics of development of scientific student groups at Russian higher education institutions since the early XIX century, outlines the prerequisites for their appearance, describes the reasons for their intensive development. The work sheds light on the main goals and objectives of scientific student groups, describes the primary areas of their activities, outlines the practical results of their functioning in the late XIX – early XX century. It is noted that student scientific groups create conditions for the comprehensive and most complete development and realisation of students’ creative and scientific potential, form strong scientific traditions, contribute to the improvement of students’ knowledge in various fields of science, have different forms of organisation of students’ academic research activities. At the same time, the practice of organising students’ academic research work at higher education institutions of the Russian Empire within these student scientific groups in the late XIX – early XX century makes it possible to support students’ intellectual activities and enhance their cognitive abilities. The scientific novelty lies in analysing the forms of students’ academic research work at higher education institutions of the Russian Empire within student scientific groups in the late XIX – early XX century. The provision on the essence of the educational charter (the University Charter of June 18, 1863) and its relationship with the content of students’ academic research work in auxiliary institutions at universities and institutes of the Russian Empire has been further developed. Socio-economic, pedagogical factors in the development of scientific student groups in the late XIX – early XX century have been highlighted. The research findings can be used in the educational process of higher education institutions when teaching the courses “Fundamentals of Higher Education Pedagogy”, “History of Pedagogy” to students, postgraduates, teachers of higher education institutions, giving lecture courses on comparative pedagogy, the history of the Russian Empire, as well as when preparing the corresponding textbooks, methodological recommendations from the said courses, term papers and final qualifying papers at pedagogical education institutions of the III-IV levels of higher education accreditation.

U.S. Antitrust Policy in the Age of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix and Facebook

Sweeping changes have disrupted society courtesy of the Information Revolution, presenting great opportunities in radically transformed economic markets but also great challenges in adapting to new and different forms of organization. Antitrust laws and other elements of competition policy are being re-examined. Specifically, the House Judiciary Committee conducted hearings in 2020 in which it asked key questions about the pattern of development in U.S. markets and options for policy reform. This paper, answering such queries, finds strong evidence for the view that, relative to practical alternatives that include E.U.-style regulation, digital markets in the U.S. appear robust, generating considerable innovation that produces pro-consumer outcomes. The global Internet is dominated by U.S.-developed technologies and business models discovered and deployed in a process of competitive rivalry. Even given imperfect rules and regulations, U.S. markets have contributed strongly to economic advances embraced around the world.

Визначення принципів упорядкування навчальних консультацій у закладах вищої освіти

The article considers the issue of improving the efficiency of educational information acquisition by future electrical engineering students. Several methods for forming the timetable of tutorials are analyzed, which ensure the increase of fundamental and practical knowledge levels, the ability to work with technical equipment, and solve non-standard situations that might happen in working conditions. Streamlining of tutorials timetable was proved by the main principle of optimization of this process. The research was carried out on the example of teaching technical subjects of study to students during the academic semester. Subjects of the study were taught cyclically within two weeks. Processing of the results was carried out by methods of mathematical modeling and harmonic analysis. The obtained results were verified using a cybernetic model of the learning process by introducing the proposed optimal timetable of tutorials into the general timetable of classes. The survey proved the efficiency of educational information acquisition by electrical engineering students. As criteria for evaluating the efficiency of educational information acquisition, it is proposed to consider the mathematical expectation and dispersion of acquisition on the cycle interval. Based on the optimization approach and using the methods of harmonic analysis and mathematical modeling, the principle of increasing the efficiency of assimilation of educational information by electrical students, i.e. placing different forms of organization of training in a stable schedule, is determined. It has been proven that the introduction of additional consultations into the schedule according to the developed principle allows to even out the discreteness of information delivery, which increases the mathematical expectation of learning by 50% and reduces the variance by 1.8 times, significantly increasing the level of student training. Key words: human and machine systems, information acquisition, information presentation schedule, dispersion, cybernetic model.

The level of subjective control of students and the peculiarities of its changes in the conditions of the use of distance and classroom forms of organization of educational activities

Annotation. The purpose of the scientific work was to determine the characteristics of changes in the criterion indicators of the level of subjective control (LSC) of modern students of medical institutions of higher education in the conditions of using remote (on-line) and auditorium (off-line) forms of organization of educational activities. Scientific research was conducted on the basis of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnitsya. Psychohygienic evaluation of the leading characteristics of the LSC was carried out based on the use of a personal questionnaire developed by Rotter in the modification of Bazhin, Golinkina and Etkind. The statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out on the basis of the application of the standard package of multivariate statistical analysis application programs “Statistica 6.1” (license number AXX910A374605FA) using descriptive statistics procedures. In the course of research, it was found that in the structure of the leading features of the students' personality RSC, indicators of the LSC in the field of achievements, LSC in the field of health and illness, LSC in the field of interpersonal relations, and LSC in the field of family relations prevailed. Instead, the indicators of general internality of LSC, LSC in the field of failures and, which became too unexpected a phenomenon, LSC in the field of educational relations should be considered the least pronounced. It was necessary to pay attention to quite interesting phenomena that were characteristic of various formats of the organization of educational activities. Thus, in the conditions of using the distance form of education, at least several objective positive significant phenomena were noticed – a significant increase of (p(t)<0.05-0.01) with the online form of organization of the educational process in the values of LSC indicators in the field of health I and diseases and in the field of achievements. At the same time, in the conditions of using the auditorium form of education, such positively significant phenomena as a significant increase (р(t)<0.05-0.01) with the off-line form of organization of the educational process of the values of LSC indicators in the field of interpersonal relations and LSC in the field of failures. In the future, the obtained data should be used during the development of methods of comprehensive hygienic assessment of the state of adaptive resources and functional capabilities of the students’ organism, which take into account the peculiarities of the development of psychophysiological functions and personality traits in the conditions of using different forms of organization of the educational process.

The Far Eastern Frontier of the 1990s

The article analyzes the process of changing the content of the frontier over time, under the influence of radical liberal reforms. The development of the borderlands in dynamics is shown, taking into account the foreign policy factor. The vector of changes is revealed within the framework of the economic component and the mission of the Far East in modern national history and in the history of the development of Asia-Pacific Region (APR). A complex of political factors in the transformation of the frontier is revealed. It was concluded that the main feature of this process was various forms of reducing Russia’s military presence in the region, partial demilitarization and the destruction of the military-industrial complex in the 1990s, and the acquisition of new characteristics by the Far Eastern borderlands. The authors come to the conclusion about the dominant role of the political factor in the transformation of the character of the Far Eastern frontier. Conversion and market reforms led to a rapid degradation of the material and social infrastructure of the frontier territories, where in the 1990s the military-industrial complex enterprises were city-forming. The ways of adapting the region to market relations turned the border area into a kind of trading factory; various flows of labor and different forms of organization of enterprises were involved. The first attempts to organize Free Economic Zones and joint ventures, as well as to implement the initial stage of the project of international transport corridors, contributed to the genesis of new features of the Far Eastern frontier.

Horizontal collaborations and the competitiveness of dairy farmers in Brazil

The efficiency of an agricultural system depends not only on how its agents work and solve problems individually but also on how they interact with each other and with their environment. In Brazil, dairy farmers have found it difficult to remain and grow in business. To overcome market and institutional challenges, agents of the dairy production chain have developed different forms of organization and coordination. This study aimed to determine whether dairy farmers who participate in horizontal organizations have greater competitiveness than those who do not. Primary data were collected from 347 dairy farms located in two important milk-producing states in Brazil, namely Paraná and São Paulo. Competitiveness indicators were developed using factor analysis. Fourteen variables were combined into four competitiveness indicators: productive capacity (PC), institutional knowledge (IK), perception of market transactions and incentives (PMTI), and quality of milk transportation. Dairy farmers who participated in horizontal organizations had higher PC, IK, and PMTI scores than non-participants. Efficient horizontal organizations can increase the competitiveness of dairy farms.

Proposals for Improving the System of Radiation Safety in Medical Exposure. Part 1. Analysis of information contained in state reporting forms and information databases in Moscow

The aim of the search was to compare the sources of information and evaluate dynamics of changes of the patients doses during x-ray and radionuclide examinations in medical organizations in Moscow from 2017 to 2020. Material and methods: Reporting forms № 3-DOZ, № 30 and Radiation-Hygienic Passport for 2017–2020 from Moscow organizations of different forms of ownership were collected and analyzed. The analysis was performed of the main indicators that determine the radiation safety in medical exposure: the number of medical organizations operating sources of ionizing radiation, the equipment of radiation diagnostics, the structure of radiation diagnostics and collective doses from medical exposure. Results: The analysis of trends of the development of radiation diagnostics in Moscow presented in the paper shows that the number of organizations operating ionizing radiation sources is increasing every year; the number of computed tomography scanners is growing by an average of 10% per year, and there is approximately the same increase in the number of computed tomography examinations. Therefore, in 2017-2019 the annual increase in the number of examinations was 10%; it was 30% in 2019–2020, which is associated with the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The increase in the collective dose from medical exposure corresponds to the increase in the number of X-ray examinations. Comparison of the considered reporting forms and data from the unified X-ray information system shows that all reporting forms have their advantages and disadvantages, which are discussed in detail in the paper. For a comprehensive assessment of the condition of radiation diagnostics, it is necessary to compile data from different statistical reporting forms, which negatively affects the reliability and representativeness of the data. It should be noted that all the considered statistical reporting forms provide no data on individual and accumulated patients doses, as well as standard (typical) doses for the equipment of X-ray and radionuclide diagnostics. The existing procedure of data collection does not allow to receive and analyze the data online. Conclusion: Among the analyzed statistical reporting forms, there is no one that fully provides the tasks of the current assessment of the situation and operational management of public radiation doses. Some of the data in fact duplicate each other, and the existing discrepancies are more likely express difficulties in collecting and summarizing information than differences in reporting forms. Current statistical reporting forms require revision, consolidation, clarification and automation of data collection processes. Further implementation of electronic systems for recording and controlling patients doses, and generation monitoring and reporting systems, as well as interdepartmental interaction systems and the creation of an electronic office of organizations will reduce the rate of non-submission of reporting documentation. That makes it more objective and provides all the data necessary to optimize radiation protection of patients.

NON-FORMAL MUSIC EDUCATION ORGANIZATION IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL INSTITUTIONS

The article reveals the importance of non-formal music education in out-of-school institutions. It is noted that non-formal music education is a certain artistic movement and a socially organized community of people who are united by common artistic interests, goals, and joint musical activities.
 The use of different forms of organization of non-formal art education in extracurricular institutions is conditioned by the type of art, namely non-formal musical educational activity is carried out in choral groups (folk, chamber), vocal ensembles (folk, vocal and instrumental), in individual vocal performance, instrumental duets, trios, ensembles or orchestras (folk instruments, bandura players, etc.) and various temporary creative music groups.
 The advantages of using informal music education in an extracurricular institution are its mobility, flexibility, the use of alternative forms of learning, and the formation of additional skills.

Implementation of Feedback as an Important Element of Modern Corporate Websites

The Internet has become an independent global electronic environment for economic activity, which for many companies has come to the forefront, not only complementing but also replacing the business methods used for decades. Almost any company, linking its activities to the Internet, develops and maintains its representation in the form of a corporate portal or website. Sites become more functional, more beautiful and informative over time, but many managers forget or do not pay due attention to such an important element of the site as feedback from external and internal contractors. This article presents the effectiveness of using feedback on specific examples in a simple and straightforward way, and gives an overview of the different forms of organisation of such communication, with an indication of possible tools for their implementation.

PRIORITY DIRECTIONS OF TEXTILE DEVELOPMENT NANO EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

According to the analysis of literature sources [1-17], the general and textile types of nanoeducation described in them are characterized by considerable diversity in Ukraine. Therefore, in order to identify the priority of development of the most promising types of nanoeducation, we consider it appropriate to give a brief annotation of our selected literature sources. The main producers of nanotechnologies in Ukraine are the institutions of the academic sector of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as they currently perform the bulk of research on the range, properties, quality and safety of nanoproducts in Ukraine. The interuniversity nanotechnology network could unite organizations of different forms of ownership that provide and carry out coordinated activities for the development and commercialization of nanotechnology and training for the needs of real production in each region. The development of nanoeducation in the country should begin with the financial support of the state and existing industries of each region of the relevant free economic zones and their units, as well as with the adaptation of world experience of countries that already produce competitive new generation products. The primary task of nanoeducation is the creation and appropriate equipment of scientific and educational nanotechnological centers of free economic education, which provide training, retraining and advanced training of specialists. This paper presents the classification of the main directions of nanoeducation development in Ukraine and substantiates the expediency of determining their priority and strategic directions. The possibility of expanding the directions of development of textile nanoeducation in Ukraine by: optimizing the structure of the range and properties of certain types of nanotextiles and clothing, improving methods for assessing their quality and safety, expanding the scope. The expediency of unification of requirements to the directions of development of nanotechnologies, nanosciences and nanosciences is substantiated. The directions of staffing the development of nanoeducation in Ukraine by studying the relevant training of specialists in the relevant universities of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine have been studied and substantiated. The need to develop in Ukraine theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of textile nanoeducation has been studied and substantiated. The expediency of creating specialized laboratories for the study of textile nanomaterials for interactive purposes is substantiated.

The body fables in Babrius, Fab. 134 and 1 Corinthians 12: Hierarchic or democratic leadership in crisis management?

Body metaphors and body fables were frequently used in ancient discourse for social communities and politics. This article will examine a body fable by the Greek fabulist Babrius (Babrius, Fab . 134) that has been overlooked in research so far. It shows a remarkable similarity to 1 Corinthians 12 through the use of central terms such as σῶμα and μέλος or personified speaking body parts such as an eye and head. Even if no literary direct dependence is claimed, the text, which was written at about the same time as 1 Corinthians, sheds light on Paul’s understanding of the body fable. It becomes apparent, however, that the rhetorical function is fundamentally different in the two texts. Whilst the body fable in Babrius reinforces hierarchical structures, Paul emphasises the equality of the various body parts. The discussion about the ‘implicit ethics’ of these two texts is hermeneutically embedded in the current Corona crisis and the management of the crisis in different forms of organisation and state. Contribution: The contribution makes the overlooked Babrius Fable 134, a body fable in political context, known in New Testament scholarship. A comparison with 1 Corinthians 12 points out that despite close analogies in plot and vocabulary, the message regarding the social structure diverges radically: While Babrius propagates a reinforcement of hierarchical leadership, 1 Corinthians 12 pleads for a community based on equivalence.

Management and Development of Talented Employees in the Global World

Research background: The study focuses on the search for talented individuals depending on the size and form of organizations in the Czech Republic. Purpose of the article: The article answers the question where organizations are looking for talented individuals in the Czech Republic in the era of digitization and Industry 4.0. It also reveals whether different forms of organization and their size play a role in finding talented individuals. Methods: A representative sample of 301 talent management organizations found whether the search for talented individuals depends on the size of private organizations and whether the form of the organization affects its application. The study is part of a very extensive research completed in 2018 dealing with the effectiveness of talent management methods in the Czech Republic. Findings & Value added: It produces specific results related to the way talented individuals are found in small, medium, and large private organisations and public organisations. The result is to determine the dependency between size, form of organization and search for talented individuals. The study also points to the fact that the “talent pool” method is independent of seeking talent within an organisation or in the labour market. The study covers a wide range of organisations, including public organisations, which are neglected in most current research.

The results of quantitative assessment of the level of adherence to treatment in patients of dental medical organizations

To determine the level of adherence to treatment in patients applying to dental organizations of different forms of ownership. 1.067 patients of both sexes and various ages who applied to public and private dental organizations of Moscow, Omsk, and Tyumen have been surveyed using the Questionnaire for Quantitative Assessment of Adherence to Treatment (KOP-25), which allows to obtain a quantitative evaluation of the level of adherence to drug treatment, medical support, lifestyle modification, and characterize the level of integral adherence to treatment in patients. Basing on a point rating system of assessment of the responses of the interviewed patients, integrative and structural indicators have been calculated using special formulas. The level of up to 50% has been interpreted as «low», from 51 to 75% as «medium», over 75% as «high». Patients applying to state and privately owned dental organizations have an insufficient level of adherence to treatment (50% medium and 37.4% low), 12.6% of the respondents show high adherence to treatment; adherence to treatment is higher in women, with the highest shown in the group of over 60 years old, independently of the form of ownership of the medical organizations; the interviewed men of all age groups are more inclined to apply for treatment to private medical organizations; all interviewed patients are the least ready for lifestyle modification, women are the most prone to using medication, and the least inclined to treatment are young patients interviewed when applying to public medical organizations. Individual treatment adherence assessment allows creating optimal treatment plans with treatment volume most acceptable for patients.

FEATURES OF TOURIST INTEGRATION ENTERPRISES

Introduction. The tourism sector is the most globalized sector of the world economy, as it is constantly expanding its activities in the countries of the world, opening up new opportunities for development. Globalization conditions of business development require enterprises in the sphere of tourism to work closely together and to consolidate their activity, to find new ways of cooperation. This is very difficult to achieve in the context of isolated activity, when the enterprise is a closed system, so in the field of tourism to become effective enterprises get open systems, which are forced to create complex business structures, which include enterprises from different fields of activity and different countries of affiliation, which ensures their further development. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the study is to analyze and systematize the forms and directions of integration of tourism and other companies operating in the tourism market in the context of the systematic integration of tourism enterprises in the global space. The research uses such general scientific methods as monographic, system analysis, synthesis, and generalization. Results. The article found that the integration of tourism enterprises can be carried out in three directions: integration in the formation of a tourism product; integration in the promotion and sale of the tourism product; integration of financial support for the processes of formation, promotion and sale of the tourism product. In each of the areas of integration, tourist enterprises can choose different forms of organization of their activities, which forms a system of integration of tourist enterprises. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is the formation of a system of integration of tourist enterprises, which, unlike the existing ones, allows the tourism industry enterprises, depending on the stage of work with the tourism product (formation; promotion and sale; financial support) to choose the directions and forms of cooperation through specialization, cooperation, concentration. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of their application in the practical activity of domestic enterprises of the tourism industry to increase the efficiency of their activity, increase competitiveness and as one of the possible strategic directions for further development.
