In today's conditions of a shortage of own financial resources in enterprises and the lack of the possibility of obtaining loans, the most affordable and effective way of financing the current needs in the organization of the enterprise's activities is the lease of fixed assets. Places for storing stocks and warehouses are needed by enterprises of almost any industry and field of activity. The easiest way to get such non-negotiable assets at your disposal to ensure your specialized activity is to enter into a lease relationship. On the other hand, in the current crisis conditions, for some enterprises and organizations, even the use of lease schemes of relationships can be a burdensome process that requires the diversion of resources to the maintenance of leased space. For a business whose activity is connected with certain material values, the need to organize the storage of its products or goods in a warehouse is extremely important. Renting or buying warehouse space in the short term may not be profitable for the enterprise. It is necessary to organize unloading and loading of goods or products, purchase warehouse equipment, install video surveillance and security alarms, hire staff. One of the work organization options is the outsourcing of warehouse processes and the use of a responsible storage service. This article examines the importance of leasing primary assets as a strategic mechanism to meet the current needs of businesses, especially in the context of limited credit opportunities and a deficit in their own financial resources. The authors thoroughly analyze various aspects and forms of leasing relationships, including full-service leasing, "pure" and "general" leasing, as well as their specific characteristics. A significant role in the study is the impact of modern information technologies on leasing relationships, particularly through the concept of "sharing". The issue of responsible storage as a key component of the logistical chain, which is of great importance for businesses, is separately highlighted. The authors propose new approaches to the methodology of reflecting costs for services of responsible storage and leasing, aimed at increasing the accuracy of calculations for the tax base of corporate income tax. The article makes a substantial contribution to the understanding of the complexity of leasing relationships and their impact on the financial stability of enterprises in modern economic conditions.

Connecting sustainability and computer science curricula through website learning projects embedding different types of student-generated content

Teaching and learning methods that are related to student-generated content (SGC) seem a promising strategy for including sustainable development goals (SDGs) in education (established as a fundamental cornerstone in the achievement of these goals by the United Nations). This paper describes the inclusion of SDGs through the implementation of website learning projects, whose products are SGC where materials developed by students can be made available to other students (from the same or different courses) in Project Management subjects of the Degree in Computer Science. The method has trialled at two different universities working in a coordinated way. A total of 301 students developed these projects with which they completed the content of the subject, in addition to achieving learning with respect to the SDGs, increasing their understanding of the impact of information and communication technologies on the SDGs, and their awareness of the related problems. We also found that more learning is perceived with information search and content generation activities than with those that focus on the use of materials produced by peers. Finally, it is observed that the method has similar results in different contexts and with different groups of students.
