New Trends in Students’ Reading Habits

The technology era has caused many changes in the reading habits of students, starting in 2011. However, the universities were not prepared for the enormous challenges they faced with the Pandemic, in late 2019 and early 2020. The pandemic has accelerated the habits of students toward digital resources and the use of more and more electronic materials. Facing this phenomenon, accelerated by the effects of Covid-19, the universities have to face the necessity of the adaptation of teaching methods which meant the use of digital materials. The article analyses the change in reading habits and the teaching methods in the Albanian and Kosovan context, showing how the universities in the Republic of Albania and Kosovo have been affected by these changes, embracing approaches to information technology. For this purpose, we have analyzed the changes in reading habits in different public and private universities in Albania and Kosovo. A tested questionnaire has been spread to 672 students in both countries, in different programs and different years of studies. The article shows that under the influence of globalization processes and the development of information technology, reading habits are changing at a frenetic speed, weakening hard copy reading and increasing electronic and that under the Pandemic Covid-19 universities changed the ways of offering teaching methods, accelerating the change of the reading habits of students and weakening the use of printed books as a tool for learning, as well as decreasing the time of reading for pleasure. A more dynamic world caused more focused universities and more rapid changes in the reading habits of the students.

Research of the Competition Level for Manufacturers and Distributors of the Pharmaceutical Market in Ukraine

The article analyzes the development of the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, proves the prospects of this industry in terms of the impact on the national economy and indicators of dynamics in the period from 2018 to 2021. During this period, the influence of global processes on the dynamics of the production indicators and sale of goods in the pharmaceutical market, the impact of the COVID pandemic is assessed and its consequences, as well as the beginning of a full-scale war of the RF against Ukraine.
 A retrospective study about the development of the main players of the pharmaceutical market in Ukraine at all levels of the medical products-representatives movement: from production to distribution of products by distributors, taking into account the national and foreign affiliation of a specific counterparty. The level of market monopolization was evaluated according to the Lind and Herfindahl-Hirschman indices, which are the most common methods among scientists for identifying the level of market concentration. It is illustrated that newly created and small enterprises of the pharmaceutical market, which constitute a competitive environment in the industry, deserve special attention. According to the results of the analysis, enterprises with an extremely high level of market concentration for manufacturers and distributors were also identified: “Farmak” and “Darnytsia” and “Optima-Pharm LTD” and “BaDM”, respectively.
 Among the manufacturers, a comparative analysis of structures in dynamics using the coefficient of structural shifts was additionally applied - to generalize the intensity of changes for 2021 and 2022. In the structure of distributors, particular attention is also paid to the enterprise «Venta LTD», which closes the top three enterprises in the farm industry, but has a risk of nationalization due to the share of Russian capital in the total assets of the enterprise, which gives time to other suppliers to occupy places on the trade niches, forming an oligopoly on market. As a result, specific decisions regarding state regularization as a way to solve the problem of pharmaceutical market monopolization by some of its representatives, related to the main principles of ensuring a competitive environment: transparency, control, support and protection of enterprises, are given to the conducted analysis. The specified information constitutes a promising direction of research – cooperative relations between manufacturers and distributors for the establishment of a logistics chain in today’s conditions.

Review of the textbook "Special administrative law" edited by B. Wieser, Y. Lazura, T. Karabin, O. Bilash

For today's Ukraine, in connection with the objective need to continue the transformation of society under the influence of globalization processes and war, the need to continue administrative reform, the harmonization of national legislation with European legislation and other challenges of today, there is a demand to review the subject of legal regulation of administrative law, and in in this context, the use of foreign administrative-legal doctrine acquires special importance. Regarding the scope of this use, the majority of domestic scientists are inclined to the approach according to which the borrowing of foreign experience should be creative, that is, ideas and models should be applied taking into account national characteristics. The content of the special part of administrative law, taking into account the tasks that are entrusted to this part of administrative law among the scientific community, currently differ significantly. This phenomenon arises as a result of the multifaceted and complex nature of administrative law as a science. Representatives of the scientific community have different approaches to understanding the subfields and institutions that form the basis of a special part of administrative law. This may be related to the specifics of legal systems, historical, political or socio-cultural factors affecting the development of this branch of law.

THE FOREIGN POLICY OF SLOVAKIA IN THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

In this article author deals with the respective periods of foreign policy upon direction changes. This covers three main streams, the establishment period of the independent Slovak foreign policy and the inclusion of the Slovak Republic among untrustworthy partners, then later the period of gaining credibility abroad and progress that led to Slovakia's accession to Euro-Atlantic structures. The primary purpose was to analyze the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic under the influence of globalization processes since its establishment until the forming of the second government of Robert Fico. Author has firstly defined the concept of globalization based on the scientific literature. Consequently, author raises an issue whether this process has a further impact on the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic. It is an undisputable that Slovakia has become a part of the globalized world, since it became part of the international structures and hence globalization affects all aspects of life in the country and even in the foreign policy. Not only the work of foreign service and politicians but the country's foreign policy priorities have adjusted to this fact as well. This stemmed in creation of readable, value-based, active and responsible foreign policy that has strengthened the position of the Slovak Republic on the world stage. Despite the initial failure of foreign policy until the year 1998, the negative trend was reversed after the change of government by Mikulas Dzurinda and since then Slovak foreign service is continuously successful. He significantly influenced and created an environment of world politics. Author presents current global threats and challenges that should play crucial role within the foreign policy. This includes questions of international terrorism, failing nations, global poverty, global epidemics and climate changes. Slovak Republic as a mature democracy and a member country of major international organizations must be involved in solving these problems, because in today's globalized world it is not enough just to maintain the nation’s position but each nation must have an interest and intention to further strengthen its position.

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND NEW GLOBAL ETHICS

The article is dedicated to analyzing socio-cultural and ethical changes occurring in the modern information society under the influence of globalization processes. The main aim of the research is to analyze cultural transformations in the sphere of information society ethics. In examining these changes, the authors utilize theoretical concepts from leading researchers in the field of information society and ethics, including D. Bell, J. Baudrillard, M. Castells, R. Florida, at al. The article focuses on changes not only oriented towards technological aspects and the proliferation of information but also on the complex aspects of human interaction: the ability to create and transmit ethical values from generation to generation while considering existential priorities and moral norms. The authors regard the information society as a new socio-cultural reality that necessitates the development of a new global ethics. Such an ethics should take into account the global experience in the realm of morality and the necessity for democratizing the information society. The main emphasis of the article is directed towards interactive, networked communication as a key element of interaction, diverse forms of social dialogue, and methods of democratizing social relations through new technologies. In this context, the authors highlight the significance of Generation Z as a new creative class within the information society, serving as a subject of global ethics. This generation possesses new communicative skills and the ability to propose new strategies and forms of ethical behavior to adapt within the changing information society. In the conclusions of the article, the authors underscore that a new global ethics requires norms capable of aligning national, particular values with global universal ethical values, including ecological, humanistic, and human-centered values, ensuring their accessibility through the democratization of the information society. The methodological basis for such ethics could be Kantianism, fostering the harmonization of intergenerational interactions in the context of information society development.

Towards the Challenges of Cross-Cultural Research: Experience on COVID-19 Project

Anthropologists and psychologists engaged in cross-cultural research face numerous methodological challenges. These studies aim to identify universal behavioral traits across all populations on Earth, as well as culturally specific features. This article attempts to describe and comprehend the main problems that researchers encounter while carrying out such projects, using specific examples from the author’s field practice. The primary example is data from a large-scale cross-cultural project that studied anxious, aggressive, and empathic behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic in 23 countries worldwide. Existing experience in cross-cultural research demonstrates how various terms and concepts transform under the influence of globalization processes. On the one hand, cultural boundaries become less defined, while on the other hand, the desire for self-identity strengthens. Familiar biological and social constructs such as sex or marital status are modified and require new understanding and analysis. Thanks to the methods of social anthropology and the anthropological approach to humans as biosocial beings, the data obtained can be interpreted, taking into account the cultural specifics and behavioral norms of each society.

СУЧАСНА СИСТЕМА ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ В ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКИХ КРАЇНАХ: ПРОБЛЕМИ І ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ

The current stage of education development is characterized by the influence of globalization processes. They largely define changes in educational policy: the emergence of new problems and challenges that require international cooperation; the development of cooperation and competition in the implementation of educational policy; and the internationalization of education. Higher education should be a thorough preparation for life in a multicultural European society, and should provide the opportunity to realize the freedoms guaranteed by the European Union. Having launched integration processes in the field of general, higher and professional education, the European Union became one of the leading world centres of education, which largely determined the trends and directions of the development of the education system in modern conditions. Understanding the peculiarities of the construction and functioning of the educational space of the community is important for the participants of the educational process inside and outside the EU. At the same time, such an element of education as its content requires the most radical modernization, since it is the content of basic education that forms the foundation and opportunities for improvement of training programs for future specialists, determines the level and quality of higher education. The competitiveness of the higher school with other social institutions is conditioned by the innovative nature of education at the current stage. Since higher education at the current stage should also become attractive for investment, it is necessary to ensure the efficiency of the educational process of higher education institutions, transparency of financial flows and independent assessment of the quality of knowledge. Therefore, when reforming higher education at the current stage in the countries of the European community, the priorities of preserving the diversity of national education systems are taken into account, while solving the problems of international cooperation, mobility, employment of students in the European or international professional space, international competitiveness of higher education institutions.

The influence of globalization processes on the disappearance of the Russian language dialects

The article clarifies the concept of dialect, emphasizing the decline in the interest of modern linguistics in dialects. The relevance of the study: language is an indicator of the condition of society and any transformations of social relations primarily manifest themselves in the language environment of the country. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that we studied the dialect of village residents, the village of Skhodnevo, the Klyavlinsky district, the Samara region; for the first time, the linguistic connections of the northeastern dialect of the Russian language in the Samara region and the Tatar language have been established, based on dialect morphology; the study was conducted using new language material (the language material was collected in the homeland of one of the authors of the article). We clarified the reasons for the emergence and interpenetration of some dialectal linguistic phenomena using the following research methods: the method of observation of the villagers’ dialect, descriptive and comparative methods. The lexical features, noted by us, expand the understanding of the typology of the Samara dialects and represent a unique material. At the level of phonetics and morphology, typological differences include the shift of stress, akanye and the southern Russian pronunciation of the sound [g]. Thus, the lexical features of Russian dialects can easily be borrowed from one dialect by the other. This material will be useful for teachers of the Russian language and students of philology.

THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON THE FORMATION OF THE MODERN EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FIFTH TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

The article analyzes the change in the education system under the influence of global processes. The author analyzes the evolution of scientific approaches to the formation and development of the global system of school and higher education, taking into account technological, economic and social changes dictated by the consequences of 4 industrial revolutions and 5 promising technological. The article describes the most common problems of modern mass education and possible scenarios for their elimination from the point of view of socio-political changes in society. In this regard, the author’s goal was to identify changes in the educational process in the context of global processes. As a conclusion, the author gives a forecast of the formation of a modern system in the field of education, believing that technological development together with globalization processes will give people the missing element for the future synergy of scientific and theological knowledge. At the same time, understanding the historical retrospective of the formation of basic humanitarian values, striving for progress, overcoming the captivity of basic needs and combining rational and spiritual knowledge will create the basis for building the education system of the future. A change in the policy aimed at the educational process is necessary. If education cannot respond to all the challenges and problems of modern society, then the number of people left unclaimed in the new economic and political conditions will only grow.

Forecasting the innovation of Ukraine’s economic development in a global dimension

Purpose. To analyze the state and trends of innovative development of the countries of the world, to define the place of Ukraine in the international arena and forecast its innovation. Methodology. The methodological basis was formed by general scientific theoretical methods: generalization, explanation, grouping; statistical method (for a comprehensive assessment of the state and trends of innovative activity of the economies of the countries of the world and Ukraine); methods of analysis and synthesis, economic and mathematical methods of forecasting, methods of abstraction and visualization (for a visual demonstration of the actual data and the results of the study). Findings. The level of innovativeness of the world’s economies and Ukraine’s position in the ranking of the Global Innovation Index (GII) are analyzed. The positive/stimulating influence of globalization processes on the spread of innovations, as well as discriminatory methods of innovative development (“dumping” of second-order technologies in developing countries) are noted. The GII forecast is determined using a regression model of the dependence of this indicator on the specific weight of innovation-active enterprises in the total number of industrial enterprises and innovation costs. The forecasting results showed a slight downward trend in the value of the GII of Ukraine. It is argued that in order to increase the level of innovativeness of the national economy, to strengthen Ukraine’s competitive position, and taking into account the fact that the economies of other countries do not stop in their development, it is necessary to significantly intensify innovative activity in Ukraine. Originality. A scientific-methodical approach to predicting the innovativeness of economic development is proposed depending on the specific weight of innovatively active enterprises in the total number of industrial enterprises and innovation costs. There is an opportunity to carry out predictive and planning calculations of the selected forecasting object, to investigate the behavior of the macroeconomic system in the context of the innovativeness of its development, to make adjustments to the strategic management system at the state level in order to stimulate innovative processes and influence the results of the innovative development of Ukraine in the global dimension. Practical value. The proposed scientific-methodical approach makes it possible to assess the trends of the level of innovativeness of development in the future and becomes an informative basis for developing a system of measures for the activation of innovative activity.

«ВКУСЫ АРКТИКИ»: НОВЫЕ ГАСТРОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ ТРЕНДЫ НА ЧУКОТКЕ, ТАЙМЫРЕ И В КОЛЬСКОМ ЗАПОЛЯРЬЕ

In this article, the authors, relying on extensive field materials gathered among representatives of various indigenous groups of the Russian Arctic, consider the dynamics of gastronomic trends unfolding under the influence of globalization processes. They analyze the sustainable components associated with ideas about the nutritional value of food and characterizing the alimentary culture of the indigenous peoples of Chukotka, Taimyr and the Kola Peninsula. A new distinguishing feature of modern national feasts is traced — an orientation towards demonstrating the diversity of tastes. In recent years, the portioning of meals oriented towards serving guests has changed significantly. First, this is due to the transformation of the temporality (temporal regime) of feasts, which are now largely aimed at external visitors. This strategy is designed to create a completely different sense of satiety for guests of official events, which is the result of tasting a variety of dishes, accompanied by a visual perception of abundance. The authors believe that today the basis of the celebration is precisely the presentation of the variety of tastes for the Other — an external observer. At the same time, there have been significant changes in the production and consumption of food products. Arctic cuisine is becoming popular in large cities of the European part of Russia. Northern brands are advertised as authentic and original, associated with the harshness of the climate and environmentally friendly products. The preparation of national dishes should be considered as a creative and constructive process, which is influenced by global trends and new technologies.

ТОРГОВЛЯ ПОД ВЛИЯНИЕМ ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИИ И РЕГИОНАЛИЗАЦИИ: ОТ СЕМЕЙНОГО ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛЬСТВА К СИСТЕМНО-СЕТЕВОЙ ПАРАДИГМЕ РАЗВИТИЯ

The article is devoted to understanding the transformation of the forms and principles of organization of the trade sphere under the influence of globalization processes and, at the same time, regionalization of the economy and social relations, intensified at the macro level by centrifugal processes. The author substantiates the objective nature of the ongoing changes in the trading paradigm, formulates the concept of the current “systemic” paradigm, which is based on corporate retail chains and trade and purchasing unions. Marketplaces are for the first time considered as a tool for forming a systemic alternative to retail chains and a condition for the further merging of offline and online forms of trading systems based on omnichannel. The author substantiates the prospects for the transition from an entrepreneurial business model to a “system- network” model, built on the synergy of interests of trade organizations, suppliers and associations of loyal consumers, with the growing importance of the latter, which will allow us to talk about the gradual formation of ecosystems in the consumer market.

ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ И УПРАВЛЕНИЕ УСТОЙЧИВЫМ СОСТОЯНИЕМ ЭКОНОМИКИ ГЕОЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО ПРОСТРАНСТВА РОССИЙСКОЙ АРКТИКИ

The article analyzes the concept of geo-economic space. It is shown that geo-economic space is a part of economic space that appeared in a new phase of the evolution of economic space under the influence of globalization processes, innovative and technological development of the world, accelerated consumption of world resources, and the development of world economic relations. The relevance of the study on the chosen topic is due to the fact that the Arctic zone of Russia is a geo-economic space; the rationale for improving the quality of life of citizens living in the Arctic zone, economic growth in the Arctic regions and sustainable socio-economic development is provided. The purpose of the article is: (a) to consider the approach to organizing the development of such a geo-economic territory, which for Russia is the Arctic territory, and (b) to substantiate the main provisions of the management system for the development of such a geo-economic territory. The provisions for the organization and management of the development of the geo-economic territory of the Russian Arctic are formulated and it is substantiated that the mathematical tools reflecting the organization and management of the development of the geo-economic Arctic territory are most consistent with the tools of graph theory.

The influence of the ethical principles of the philosophy of Confucius on Chinese cinema

The article examines the films of Chinese cinema of the 20th — early 21st centuries, which reflect the main ethical principles of Confucianism. It is noted that in contrast to the processes of commercialization of cinematography, when, first of all, emphasis is placed on the vivid visualization of the film, many outstanding Chinese directors pay attention to ethical principles in the life of society and an individual, relying on the teachings of Confucius, which continue to play an important role in spiritual life of China. The films "Goddess" (1934), "Spring Waters Flow to the East" (1947), "Hero" (2002), "The Horn is calling" (2007) were selected for analysis, which allow us to explore the ethics of Confucianism presented in them in historical discourse. The behavior models of the main characters, which were formed under the influence of Confucianism and are characteristic of Chinese society, reproduced in the films are considered and analyzed. It is noted that although the commercialization of films is taking place in Chinese cinema under the influence of globalization processes, there is a tendency to preserve the ethical principles of Confucianism and embody them in artistic works of cinema.
