About the use of machine learning in modeling business processes

In a highly competitive environment, as well as the activation of the domestic production market, enterprises need to quickly adapt to modern conditions. There is an obvious increase in the number of small manufacturing enterprises that participate in tenders on electronic trading platforms and offer their services to large enterprises, especially this growth is noticeable in the field of militaryindustrial complex. Customers prefer to cooperate with small enterprises that are adaptable to the order conditions and have not only short terms of order fulfillment, but also a flexible pricing system due to low administrative and bureaucratic costs. At the same time, such enterprises have problems with the organization of business processes when the volume of orders grows. In this paper, the authors have built a model of the Quality Control process using BPMN method on the basis of small enterprise practice. This model can be the basis for training a machine learning system to build a model of business processes. Natural language text processing is proposed as an area of artificial intelligence, which allows enterprises to use this unified technology to reduce the cost of developing and describing business processes.

Sustainability and the domestic credit market: worldwide evidence

This paper aims to uncover the cross-sectional relationship between country-level sustainability performance and the domestic lending activity of commercial banks. Considering a worldwide sample of countries, it uses publicly available sustainability scores from SolAlability Sustainable Intelligence, macroeconomic data, and banking sector data from the World Bank. The results show that the country’s sustainability performance is positively related to the amount of domestic credit granted by banks to the private sector and negatively related to the importance of nonperforming loans. Moreover, looking at the pillars that constitute the sustainability scores, this work finds evidence that social cohesion, intellectual capital, and governance are the pillars of sustainability that affect domestic lending activity. Results survive several robustness tests concerning samples, variables’ definitions, and estimation procedures. Our results suggest that policies aiming at improving a country’s sustainability contribute to domestic banking sector stability and financial development. Specifically, measures that contribute to social cohesion and solidarity, innovation and value-added industries, and the country’s governance performance, contribute to the smooth functioning of credit markets.

УПРАВЛІННЯ ЗМІНАМИ НА ПІДПРИЄМСТВАХ МОЛОКОПРОДУКТОВОГО СЕКТОРУ УКРАЇНИ

The article is devoted to studying modern trends in the development of Ukraine's milk processing sector. It also reveals the level of actual dairy product consumption by the country's population. As the study results showed, it has been significantly lower than the recommended parameters in recent years. Your role in the dairy sector is crucial to addressing this issue and shaping the future of the industry. The dynamics of milk production volumes by main categories of producers were analyzed. The key structural changes in the industry's development have been identified, among which the most significant is the long-term concentration of production in the sector of small producers—households. In the modern structure of milk production, the share of households in the population is 66%, and 31% is provided by agricultural enterprises of various forms of management. The concentration of production of dairy raw materials within the household sector is accompanied by a low number of problematic issues that hold back the potential of greening, innovative development, and increasing the competitiveness of domestic dairy products. However, there is a silver lining. Strategic orientations for further management changes in the dairy sector of Ukraine's enterprises were outlined, highlighting the potential for organic dairy production. The activation of further development of organic dairy production and the greening of dairy products and trade brands were identified as critical factors. According to the current assessment, the share of organic milk production in EU countries is insignificant. This creates real prospects for Ukrainian dairy companies to increase their competitive potential in the domestic and European milk products market. Based on the research results, a list of the main characteristics inherent in organic production in the country's dairy sector was substantiated. The set of key challenges that necessitate the constant management of changes in the dairy industry enterprises are outlined. The main ones are defined as: structural disparities by category of milk producers, constant complication of dairy product quality standards by the EU, loss of the potential of domestic feed production, low paying demand of the population of Ukraine, slow pace of transformations towards greening and implementation of sustainable development initiatives of the agri-food sector of Ukraine. However, the research results also demonstrated active trends in the development of trademarks of dairy companies in Ukraine, which contributes to a more intensive formation of competitive advantages among them. These findings are crucial for understanding the current state and potential future of the dairy sector, and they also inspire hope for the industry's future.

COVID-19 pandemic and linkage between stock markets in Middle Eastern countries

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the linkage between stock markets in Middle Eastern countries before and during the COVID-19 pandemic by using daily and monthly data sets for the period from 2011 to 2021.Design/methodology/approachThe multivariate BEKK-GARCH model was computed to evaluate the existence of non-linear linkage among Middle Eastern stock markets. A correlation approach was used in this study to determine the type of linear connectivity between Middle Eastern stock markets. The study used monthly and daily data sets covering the years 2011 to 2021 to investigate the linkage between stock returns and the volatility spillover between the stock markets in Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, both before and during COVID-19. To understand the types of relationships between markets before and during COVID-19, the daily data set was split into two periods.FindingsResults from the pre-COVID-19 suggest that the Syria stock market is not related to any stock market in the Middle East markets; the Palestine and Lebanon stock markets exhibit a weak relationship, but Jordan and Palestine stock markets are strongly linked. Conversely, results from COVID-19 evince a very strong bidirectional volatility spillover between Middle East stock markets. Overall, the results indicate the existence of increased linkage during the COVID-19.Research limitations/implicationsThe data collection on a daily and monthly basis, both before and during COVID-19, presents certain limitations for the paper. Another limitation is that the data cannot be generalized to all other Middle Eastern countries; rather, the conclusions drawn can only be applied to these four countries. This is especially true if the scholars collected most of the necessary data but were unable to obtain certain data for various reasons.Practical implicationsThese findings have implications for risk management, market regulation and the growth of local stock markets. Facilitating the growth of smaller, more specialized markets to improve integration with other Middle Eastern markets is one of the goals of the domestic stock market development policy. To ensure financial stability, Middle Eastern stock market linking policies should consider spillover risk and take steps to minimize it. Enhancing the range of investment opportunities accessible to shareholders and functioning as confidential risk-sharing mechanisms to facilitate improved risk management in Middle Eastern stock markets will not only significantly influence the mobilization of private capital to promote investment and local economic growth but also lay groundwork for integrated market platforms.Originality/valueThis paper adds to the body of literature by demonstrating the nature of the connections between these small markets and the larger markets in the Middle East region. Information from the smaller markets provides institutional insights that enhance the body of existing research, guide the formulation of evidence-based policies and advance financial literacy in these markets. This study contributes by comparing data from different stock markets to better understand the type and strength of the link and relationship between Middle Eastern stock markets, as well as any underlying or reinforcing factors that might have contributed to the relationship and the specific types of links that these markets shared prior and during COVID-19.

Domestic Market Determinants of Foreign Portfolio Flows to an Emerging Market: A Study of Saudi Capital Market

Domestic Market Determinants of Foreign Portfolio Flows to an Emerging Market: A Study of Saudi Capital Market

Product Introduction with Parallel Importation

The aim of this paper is to investigate the manufacturer’s product introduction decision when entering a foreign market by considering parallel importation. This paper considers a situation where a manufacturer already sells an original product directly in the domestic market and decides to introduce an original product, a new product, or both through a retailer in a foreign market, and a parallel importer may divert the original product across markets due to price gap (we call it parallel importation). This paper shows that when consumers perceive gray products as perfect substitutes for authorized products, the manufacturer switches from introducing two products to introducing a new product and still maintains the quality of the new product in the presence of parallel importation. Furthermore, in response to parallel importation, the manufacturer not only narrows the price gap for original products between two markets but also reduces the wholesale price of new products in the foreign market. In addition, parallel importation always hurts the retailer but may benefit the manufacturer. Counterintuitively, parallel importation always improves social welfare in the domestic market but may damage social welfare in the foreign market.

Research on Lithium Battery Recycling and Utilization

With the rapid development of new energy, lithium batteries, as one of the key technologies in the field of energy storage, play an important role. However, with the widespread application of lithium batteries, the problem of their disposal has become increasingly prominent, which not only affects the environment but also wastes precious resources. This article analyzes the domestic new energy lithium battery market situation and finds that domestic new energy is developing rapidly and the lithium battery market has huge potential. In terms of lithium battery recycling and utilization, comparison shows that foreign lithium battery recycling technology is relatively mature, but there are certain challenges in adapting to domestic actual conditions and cost control. Although there are some advanced recycling technologies in China, the overall level still needs to be improved.

Problems of the Organic Agricultural Production Development as Threats to Ukraine's Economic Security

Purpose: The research is aimed at the mechanisms of solving the identified problems in the development of organic agricultural production against the background of the ongoing Russian invasion. Taking into account the need to increase the volume of such output in response to the demands of world markets, the development of state stimulation tools that have been tested in the EU to help achieve both the individual Sustainable Development Goals and to strengthen the components of Ukraine's economic security, which are currently under constant attack. Design/Method/Approach: Based on the data of the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), Diia Business, OrganicInfo, and World Bank, we used economic and statistical methods: average, relative values of dynamics, structure, coordination, Le Masne similarity index, Herfindahl-Hirschman concentration index, non-parametric criterion for assessing the tightness of the connection (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient) and graphically depicted the obtained results. Findings: Ukrainian organic production is characterized by imbalance and weak diversification. In 2021, 96.85% of the area of domestic crop production was allocated to the cultivation of grain and oil crops. In 2022, the volume of sales of organic products in the domestic market of Ukraine fell by almost half (-48%). Unlike in European countries, organic products are not a priority for retail trade in Ukraine. The hypothesis about the non-randomness of the correlation between the consumption of organic products and GDP per capita was confirmed: with a probability of 99.9%, there is a direct and strong (0.86) correlation between the indicators. Theoretical Implications: The work identifies the current problems of organic agricultural production and possible ways to solve them, in particular, based on state incentive mechanisms approved in the EU, the introduction of which will strengthen the economic security of Ukraine. Practical Implications: Calculations prove that the reorientation of the Ukrainian producer to the domestic consumer is not a solution to the problems associated with blocking the export of Ukrainian agricultural products until the level of GDP per capita is similar to European indicators. Originality/Value: The development of organic production is one of the priorities of the agricultural policy of the EU from the financial perspective of 2021-2027. It is a direction for realizing Ukraine's competitive advantages against the background of the ongoing Russian invasion. Research Limitations/Future Research: In further research, it is advisable to compare the development trends of Ukrainian organic production with European ones since this article focuses on internal problems.

Muslim Fashion Development Strategy in the Ḥalāl Industry in Indonesia: Some Notes from the Quran and Hadith

This article aims to analyse the internal and external factors that influence the development of the Muslim fashion industry in the context of the ḥalāl industry in Indonesia and formulate appropriate strengthening strategies based on the results of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This research uses a mixed approach, or a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods (mixed method), in the form of an exploratory sequential design, using the SWOT analysis technique. The research results indicate that the Muslim fashion industry in Indonesia has several strengths, which include a large domestic market, increased awareness of Sharia-compliant fashion, as well as ethnic diversity and traditions. It also shows Islam as a religion that promotes respect for cultural diversity, as Allah created humans in various forms, languages, and cultures (al-Ḥujurāt [49]: 13). Several weaknesses were identified, including a lack of access to necessary resources and technology. In terms of opportunities, they can be obtained through the increasing global demand for ḥalāl products, the opportunity to innovate in Sharia-compliant fashion design, and the demand for eco-friendly products. These are in line with Allah’s command to His caliphs to preserve the environment, among which are found in al-A‘rāf [7]: 85 and al-Qaṣaṣ [28]: 77. However, threats such as global competition and regulatory changes can hamper industry growth. Therefore, strengthening strategies are urgently needed in several main areas, to strengthen the domestic Muslim fashion market, encourage the market for Muslim fashion products, collaborate with other ḥalāl sectors, and control the export market.

Analyst coverage and default risk

This study explores the causal effect of analyst coverage on corporate default risk. Using the exogenous drop of analyst coverage due to brokerage mergers and closuresas a natural experiment, we observe an increase in the probability of default following the coverage termination. This result is driven by firms having large asymmetric information problems (few analysts following and intangible-intensive firms), higher financing constraints, lower stock liquidity and firms operating in countries with a larger domestic stock market size. We explore agency costs and stock liquidity as potentialchannels, finding empirical support only for this latter. Finally, we observe that firms react to the analyst loss by adopting conservative investment and financing policies in the aim to mitigate the increase in default risk.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR THE SCIENTIFIC EDITION “RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY”

Background. Russian scientific journals joined the international market of scientific publications quite late, which actualises the development of a strategy for entering this market and complicates the realisation of the strategy as such in the environment of tough competition on the part of experienced and stable players thereof. Purpose. The purpose is to elaborate a strategy for the development of the “Russian Journal of Education and Psychology” for its introduction to the international market. Materials and methods. The research sources are represented by statutory acts, statistical materials and results of the author’s empirical research. The research is based on the systemic approach; the strategy of the journal is based on the ideas of the positioning school; the main method of business planning is economic analysis. Results. The growth of competition in the domestic market, along with the gradual approximation of the Russian scientific journals evaluation system to the global practice and the universal quality criteria, proved to be the conditions inspiring the change in the strategy of the scientific edition “Russian Journal of Education and Psychology”. The detailed analysis of the internal and external environment of the journal made it possible to form a self-contained range of strategic alternatives among which the entry to the international market was the most appropriate way to meet the objectives of the publishing house and the interests of the proprietor (who is also the project customer). Securing the journal’s work in accordance with the requirements of the international scientometric databases, for its inclusion in the Scopus and (or) Web of Science, became a new strategic goal of the journal. The new goal changed the concept and mission of the journal with regard to the customer’s wish to preserve the edition’s traditional values. Changes in marketing and peer reviewing were identified as the main transformation areas for which new functional strategies were developed. The overall project plan envisages the solution of other targets as well, but it is the tasks connected with the journal distribution and the change in the work of the editorial board and in the business aspects of reviewing that became extremely significant in terms of their timing and involved financial costs. The project team comprising current employees is supposed to cope with possible risks with respect to project completion time, while the financial resources of the publishing house will allow it to overcome the financial risks of the project without any assistance. Even in case of failure to achieve the strategic goal, due to its high risk, the journal’s key performance indicators will be improved through the increased share of high-quality articles; by optimising and tightening the review process, active promotion of the journal in the national and foreign markets; by attracting a numerous audience (authors, readers) and expanding the number and diversity of stakeholders.

Analyzing downside risk of BRICS stock indices: insights from value at risk and time series econometrics

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the downside risk for the stock indices of BRICS countries. The study also aimed to study the interrelationship, directional influence and interdependence among the stock exchanges of BRICS economies to provide insights for policymakers, fund managers, investors and other stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach The authors used Value at Risk (VaR) as an indicator of downside risk and time series econometrics for measuring the long run relationship, directional influence and interdependence. Findings The calculated VaR estimates, long-run linkages and strong interdependence among these indices especially with the returns of Brazil exerting a notable impact on the returns of other BRICS nations. These results emphasize the significance of taking into account cross-country spillover effects and domestic market dynamics in the context of portfolio management and risk assessment strategies. Further, from the extended results of variance decomposition analysis, the authors find that Brazil’s, China’s and South African stock market returns have a significantly lagged impact on their own stock market, while Russia’s and India stock market returns do not have a significantly lagged impact on their own stock markets. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study comprehensively analyzing the BRICS indices downside risk through the historical simulation method of VaR estimation, which is an unexplored area of risk management.

Comparative Analysis of Deliverable and Non-Deliverable Contracts in the Hong Kong Trading Market - Taking RMB as an Example

NDFs are over-the-counter traded foreign exchange derivative products. The settlement of an NDF contract does not involve the delivery of the underlying currency pair. Instead, it involves a net payment in a convertible currency (usually the US dollar), which is proportional to the difference between the agreed forward exchange rate and the subsequently realized spot fixing. Hong Kong's geopolitical location as an outlet that connects mainland China to the world gives it an essential role in researching CNY's international features Hong Kong's trading market serves as a crucial link for the expansion of RMB usage, with the resulting shifts in positions supporting the interpretation of the role of RMB in the process of globalization of the currency, as well as the interpretation of financial markets. This study examines how the Hong Kong market serves as a critical hub for the currency's global integration through its trading of RMB, and focuses on the interplay between market regulations, economic policies, and the intricate balance of supply and demand affecting deliverable (CNY and CNH) and non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts. The research findings reveal that the examination of transaction data from Hong Kong's commodity exchange demonstrates a complicated interconnection between deliverable (CNY and CNH) and non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts. This intricate relationship highlights the Chinese Yuan's (RMB) fluctuating role in the market, influenced by factors such as market sentiment, regulatory changes, and economic conditions. In essence, the RMB's trading volumes and value in this setting reflect its sensitivity to both domestic and international market shifts.

European Union–Mercosur Accord's effects on Brazilian milk powder

AbstractMilk is one of the few agricultural products in which Brazil is not competitive. The domestic market is served by domestic production and imports from Argentina and Uruguay. The Mercosur–European Union Biregional Association Agreement provides for the elimination of tariffs and the harmonization of nontariff measures between the parties. Because the EU is one of the most competitive regions in the world market for powdered milk, this study analyzes the effects of the agreement on the links in this production chain in the Brazilian market. A constant, nested, multisectoral, and vertically integrated elasticity of substitution model is structured incorporating uncertainty in the estimates of Armington elasticities through Monte Carlo simulations, as in Hallren and Opanasets. The model allows projecting the price effect (Armington) and the preference effect in the market shares of Brazil, Mercosur, and the EU on the domestic market. The results, in the most ambitious scenario of the agreement and in the most conservative estimate, show that Brazil would lose 71.7 percentage points in the domestic market. This means reducing Brazilian production by 475 thousand tons of powdered milk. The national agricultural link in this scenario would lose 15% of the current dairy demand. This loss benefits the EU, which would participate in the domestic market with a market share of 58.75%. Mercosur would add 13.41 percentage points to its current share of the Brazilian market [EconLit Citations: F13, F14].

Identification and Classification of Herbal Medicine Marketing Problems from the Perspective of Manufacturers, Pharmaceutical Distribution Companies, Pharmacies, and Consumers in Iran

Background: Despite the increase in the desire to consume herbal medicines and the growing concern of people about their health, as well as the increase in the number of specialized herbal medicine manufacturing companies and pharmacies, these products still have a small market share in the domestic market. Therefore, this research seeks to identify and categorize the marketing problems of herbal medicines with a systemic approach from the perspectives of actors active in this chain (companies producing herbal medicines, pharmaceutical distribution companies, pharmacies and consumers) and provide practical solutions to improve these problems. Methods: The current research is exploratory in nature and qualitative in type. To better identify the marketing problems of herbal medicines, semi-structured interviews were used, and using purposive and snowball sampling methods, interviews were conducted with knowledgeable people in 14 manufacturing companies, 13 pharmaceutical distribution companies, 22 pharmacies and 40 consumers of herbal medicines in 2022. Quantitative content analysis was also used to analyze the text of the interviews. Results: The identified problems are in three short-term, medium-term and long-term time frames, and from another perspective, these problems are located at the three organizational, industrial and macro level. About half of the marketing problems of herbal medicines are located in the three houses of the matrix, i.e. in the houses of organization-mid-term (16 %), industry-short-term (15 %) and organization-short-term (14 %). Also, based on the normalized data, about half of the marketing problems of herbal medicines are related to the non-availability of these medicines (7.7 %), lack of scientific visits by doctors (6.8 %), lack of appropriate and sufficient advertising (6.2 %), returns due to expiration dates (5 %), lack of confidence in the effectiveness (4.8 %), low offers and discounts (4.4 %), high prices (4.1 %), difficulty in collecting claims (3.6 %), low variety of products (2.9 %) and long production time (2.8 %). Conclusion: The government managers of the country can address macro-level issues by controlling the inflation rate, accelerating the settlement time of insurance and government organizations with distribution companies, reducing the time of collecting claims, and raising public awareness regarding herbal medicines. In the industry sector, there is a need to establish national distribution companies for herbal medicines and enhance the research, supply, production, and distribution processes. It is also important to improve the collaboration between manufacturers and pharmacies, as well as facilitate communication with international scientific societies. At the organizational level, managers can boost productivity by enhancing the quality of products and packaging, conducting scientific visits, and publishing credible scientific articles to convince doctors and consumers about the benefits of herbal medicines

Study on the current situation and influencing factors of corn import trade in China – based on the trade gravity model

Abstract With the rapid development of China’s economy and society, the income level of Chinese residents is increasing day by day, and the dietary consumption structure of domestic residents is constantly optimized and upgraded. The consumption demand for livestock products such as meat, eggs and milk, and corn starch industrial products is increasing day by day. Therefore, as the main raw material of feed industry and deep processing owners, the consumption scale of China corn market is constantly expanding. However, the corresponding domestic corn production scale has not expanded, and the domestic corn production presents an obvious problem of insufficient supply scale, which leads to a sharp and rapid increase in the number of corn imports in China, which seriously impacts the domestic corn market and affects China’s healthy development of corn industry. In recent years, the continuous spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has seriously affected the global grain production and trade. The fierce military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the two major grain exporting countries, has once again brought a serious adverse impact on the supply and price of the global grain market, resulting in an increase in the import cost of corn in China and a change in the import pattern of corn in China. In this regard, this study analyzes the current situation of corn production and import trade in China, and based on the relevant trade data between China and major corn importing countries from 2013 to 2022, establishes a trade gravity model to quantitatively evaluate the main factors affecting China’s corn import trade, and analyzes the trade potential of sample countries. It was found that in 2022, China’s import and export trade volume and trade value were 20.62 million tons and 7.11 billion US dollars, respectively, compared with 2013, trade volume and trade volume increased by 6.3 times. Statistics on the potential types of various trading countries showed that the proportion of potential countries was 14.2%, and Brazil had the greatest potential in China’s corn import trade. The proportion of potential expanding countries is about 71.4%, and Laos is a mature country with less opportunities for further development. In order to promote the benign development of the domestic corn industry and the development of China’s corn import trade, this paper puts forward a series of countermeasure suggestions based on the above research.

Pueraria lobata antioxidant extract ameliorates non-alcoholic fatty liver by altering hepatic fat accumulation and oxidative stress

Ethnopharmacological relevancePueraria lobata is essential medicinal and edible homologous plants widely cultivated in Asian countries. Therefore, P. lobata is widely used in the food, health products and pharmaceutical industries and have significant domestic and international market potential and research value. P. lobata has remarkable biological activities in protecting liver, relieving alcoholism, antioxidation, anti-tumor and anti-inflammation in clinic. However, the potential mechanism of ethyl acetate extract of Pueraria lobata after 70% alcohol extraction (APL) ameliorating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been clarified. Aim of the studyThis study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of P. lobata extract on human hepatoma cells and injury in rats, and to evaluate its therapeutic potential for ameliorating NAFLD. MethodsFirstly, the effective part of P. lobata extract was determined as APL by measuring its total substances and antioxidant activity. And then the in vitro and in vivo models of NAFLD were adopted., HepG2 cells were incubated with palmitic acid (PA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In order to evaluate the effect of APL, Simvastatin and Vitamin C (VC) were used as positive control. Various parameters related to lipogenesis and fatty acid β-oxidation were studied, such as intracellular lipid accumulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Western Blot, mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptosis, and the mechanism of APL improving NAFLD. The chemical components of APL were further determined by HPLC and UPLC-MS, and molecular docking was carried out with Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway related proteins. ResultsAPL significantly reduced lipid accumulation and levels of oxidative stress-related factors in vitro and in vivo. Immunohistochemical、Western Blot and PCR analysis showed that the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were up-regulated in APL treatment. The Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 can block the rescue by APL of cellular oxidative stress and lipid accumulation induced by H2O2 and PA, demonstrating its dependence on Nrf2. UPLC/MS analysis showed that there were 3′-hydroxyl puerarin, puerarin, 3′-methoxy puerarin, daidzein, genistin, ononin, daidzin and genistein. ConclusionThis study further clarified the mechanism of P. lobata extract in improving NAFLD, which provided a scientific basis for developing new drugs to protect liver injury and laid a solid foundation for developing P. lobata Chinese herbal medicine resources.
