11B NMR Together with Infrared Spectroscopy Provides Insight into Structural Elucidation of Quadrivalent Diazaborines & Cyclic Boronate Esters: Intriguing & Little-Explored.

Imidazo-fused diazaborines, which serve as intermediary structures somewhat alongside benzene and borazine, had been of particular interest to Dewar and Snyder more than 60 years ago. To this end, Dewar utilised his 'π-complex theory'so as to represent 'borazaros'as a 'quadrivalent' species; however, sadly, modern representations have deviated and leapt into 'trivalent' counterparts. Bonding in boron species has never been straightforward, to such an extent that the orthodox 'ethane' like diborane, i.e., H3B-BH3, which conformed to the paradigmatic rules of molecular structure, in particular, hybridisation and electronegativity, was later evolved to a more realistic '3-centre 2-electron' bonding so as to give the lie to the purported diborane structures of X-ray diffractors. Herein 11B NMR together with IR spectroscopy sheds light on the nature of bonding in borazaros, and 'caged' cyclic oxazaborons so as to reinforce, and reinvigorate the old literature, which could be of interest to both the synthetic, and medicinal chemist alike.

Влияние межмуниципальной кооперации на результаты деятельности малых форм хозяйствования на селе

The continuation of sanctions pressure on the Russian economy and, in particular, on the agricultural sector, contributes to the intensification of additional research to overcome negative consequences of this pressure. In these conditions, the role of increasing self-sufficiency in the main ranges of agricultural products in the country increases, including the supply of agricultural producers with the necessary material and technical resources to comply with technological production processes. A significant place in this is given to small forms of farming using the advantages of agricultural cooperation. The article examines the progressive development of agricultural consumer cooperatives in the Republic of Bashkortostan, identifies problems of functioning and ways to solve them in the conditions of existing situations. It is concluded that it is advisable to strengthen and expand intermunicipal and interregional cooperative ties, which will allow agricultural producers to influence the increase in production and promotion of products; reduce the pressure of various intermediary structures, as well as achieve higher economic and social results of their activities.

Science Shops as key intermediary structures to respond to the current health research agenda bias: Evidence from the InSPIRES project.

To increase the likelihood of research responding to societal needs, intermediary structures such as Science Shops are being created. Science Shops respond to research needs identified and prioritized through participatory processes involving civil society. However, these are not mainstream structures, and most research needs addressed by the scientific community are not defined by a diversity of stakeholders (including citizens) but are mostly prioritized by researchers and funders. Literature shows this often leads to bias between the research topics investigated and the research needs of other relevant stakeholders. This studyanalyses how 14Science Shops contribute to decreasing bias in health research agenda setting. We compare the research priorities identified through participatory processes by the Science Shops, which participated in theEuropean Union-funded project InSPIRES (2017-2021), to the available research addressed in the literature (identified in Web of Science), which we use as a proxy for current research priorities. Science Shop projects contributed to decreasing the existing bias in health research agenda setting: (1) between drug and nondrug treatments and (2) between clinical trials of treatments for illnesses affecting high-income versus middle- and low-income countries, which leads to a lack of local strategies for high disease burdens in nonhigh-income regions. This study provides the first evidence of Science Shops'effectiveness in addressing current biases in health research agenda setting. We conclude they could play a key role in shaping local, nationaland international research policies.

ІНТЕГРАЦІЙНІ ПРОЦЕСИ ТА ЇХ ЗНАЧЕННЯ ДЛЯ РОЗВИТКУ МАЛИХ ФОРМ ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВА В АГРАРНОМУ БІЗНЕСІ

The emergence and development of large integrated formations in the domestic agro-industrial complex is a natural reflection of world trends. In the conditions of fierce competition on the market of agricultural goods and food, large integrated structures, using the advantages of specialization, concentration and cooperation, are able to achieve a high level of marketability and profitability of production in a short period of time. In conditions of weak state support, agro-industrial formations became the main investors of agricultural organizations and received comprehensive support and assistance in certain regions. The rate of development of the agricultural sector in such regions shows that large agro-industrial formations contribute to the growth of agricultural production, employment and incomes of the rural population. They are able to ensure a certain price parity between the agricultural sector and other sectors of the economy, reduce prices and make products more accessible to the population by eliminating intermediary structures. The development and improvement of the economic efficiency of various integrated formations and their prospects is a complex and contradictory process, since the current situation largely depends on the political, legal, socio-economic and other conditions in the country. The development of agro-industrial integration is a complex objective economic process. Agricultural enterprises enter into integration ties, seeking to mitigate the risk caused by the specifics of agricultural production. Agricultural enterprises also strive to ensure stable incomes thanks to the availability of a reliable raw material base and sales markets for their products. These prerequisites created the conditions and gave impetus to the revival, formation and development of integrated associations in agriculture and explored their significance for small forms of entrepreneurship. Therefore, the development of integration processes in the field of agro-industrial complex may be the most important condition for revitalizing the activity of agro-industrial complex organizations and stabilizing the region's economy. In this article, we conducted a theoretical review of the classification of integration processes. Scientific works and publications of domestic and foreign scientists and specialists in the field of integration processes on the investigated problem served as the theoretical basis of the research.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СИСТЕМ МИТНОЇ ЛОГІСТИКИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

One of the modern ways to efficiently organise the activities of various sectors of the economy is to apply a logistics approach. To ensure its economic security, each country develops customs regulations, which also actively use the logistics approach. In this case, its peculiarity is the need to optimise export-import processes at a minimum cost. The article substantiates the relevance of the logistics approach for analysing the efficiency of the customs logistics sector, since there are relatively few scientific studies of this issue. The author defines the essence of the logistics function of customs activity, analyses the complex and structure of customs logistics as a specific area of interaction between participants in foreign economic activity, and formulates a list of its main tasks. The article identifies functional elements of customs and logistics activities, in which the efficiency of the main processes can be objectively increased by optimising costs and maximising customer satisfaction. The article presents a set of criteria for evaluating customs logistics systems in terms of cost and time, productivity and quality of services. The author analyses in detail the specifics and prerequisites for the formation of certain cost items in the operation of logistics systems, the minimisation of which in logistics is traditionally the basis for ensuring the efficiency of any participant in international trade and customs and logistics structures. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the methodology for assessing the quality of customs and logistics services, for which the main types, criteria and quality indicators of various types of services provided to customers when their goods cross the customs border are identified. The reasons for a significant decrease in the efficiency of the processes of promoting cross-border customs and logistics flows that arose with the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine are indicated. Since intermediary structures play an important role in customs logistics, the author describes the basic principles of their functioning in accordance with the provisions of Ukrainian legislation and suggests the use of four groups of key performance indicators for customs brokers and customs clearance agents. The article also identifies a set of possible negative consequences for both intermediaries and their clients in case of non-compliance with the requirements for the efficient organisation of customs and logistics processes.

АГРОМАРКЕТИНГ В УМОВАХ ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЇ

In the work, the management of agricultural resources is considered from the standpoint of the economic agrosystem, which should be built on the principles of optimization and predictability, which can be achieved due to the digitization of the industry. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the role of marketing in the process of collecting, analyzing and processing information. The purpose of the article is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the applied aspects of agricultural marketing in the conditions of digital transformation. The problems of the implementation of digital technologies in rural areas are identified: the reduction of the share of the rural population, which reduces opportunities in the field of education and employment, the limitation of the basic IT infrastructure and the need for investment costs for the implementation of specific digital solutions taking into account existing opportunities. Agromarketing is proposed to be considered as an integrative management system of an enterprise for the production and sale of agricultural products, which ensures the formation of sustainable relationships between agricultural enterprises and consumers to meet the needs of the population in agricultural products and services. This goal should be achieved by providing not only monitoring of the agricultural market, but also forecasting of long-term conditions with a high degree of reliability; minimization of the impact on the environment and production of quality products; formation of the appropriate material and technical base for the storage of agricultural products; minimization of intermediary structures. The main task of agricultural marketing is to identify and research the needs of potential consumers of agro-industrial complex; selection of products for production, establishment of its properties; coordination of terms and volumes of production; preservation and expansion of the existing market share in accordance with the set goals; increasing sales volumes and obtaining the desired results. The specificity of agro-industrial production and sale of agricultural products determines the variety of specific marketing schemes, including the study of the state and dynamics of consumer demand and the use of the obtained data in the process of developing and making economic decisions; maximum adaptation of production to market requirements in order to improve the efficiency of the enterprise's functioning; influencing market and consumer demand through means such as advertising, sales promotion and shaping in a direction that is meaningful to the enterprise. The work defines the main areas of implementation of digital technologies in marketing activities of agribusiness: digitalization of the agricultural market, digitalization in the field of enterprise management, precision agriculture with climate control, use of cloud platforms and big data analytics. At the same time, the implementation of digital technologies in the marketing activities of agribusiness should be carried out in parallel with the digital transformation of the entire industry.

Theoretical principles of management of sales activities of agricultural service enterprises

The peculiarity of managing the competitiveness of agricultural and agro-service enterprises is related to the fact that their economic activity is influenced by many factors that act with different intensities and directions in different conditions. At the same time, a significant part of the problems faced by such enterprises can be solved by improving the management of their activity of a production and commercial nature, first, marketing of their products, which is a crucial area of activity in determining business directions under the conditions of a market economy. Any enterprise's production and commercial activity is characterized by cyclicality, and sales is its decisive stage because it forms the enterprise's financial results. Ensuring the maximization of profit from the sale of the company's products as the main task of improving the management of the marketing system requires, first of all, focusing efforts on correcting the company's sales policy. Solving the problem of gaps in time and space that separate the product from the consumer requires the effective use of various distribution channels and the joint efforts of the manufacturer and intermediaries to coordinate and implement marketing strategies and create competitive advantages. Intermediary structures, which form many product distribution channels, can ensure the implementation of numerous marketing functions. Planning of sales activities is related to the choice of the distribution channel, the number of intermediaries, the promotion methods, or their influence on implementing the enterprise's price and product policy. The criteria for choosing intermediaries are their experience, economic results of cooperation with them, solvency, compatibility when working with other organizations, and reputation. It was determined that the relationship between the manufacturer and intermediaries is built through the manufacturer's cooperation with intermediaries, long-term partnership, or distribution planning, during which the manufacturer and the intermediary sell its products most efficiently. Keywords: marketing management, production, and sales activities, sales channels, agricultural service enterprises.

Making low-income and minority homeownership work: non-profit intermediary networks in the Chicago region

There is renewed political interest in promoting minority homeownership to reduce racial wealth gaps in the United States. In this paper, I call for a policy focus on sustained long-term home-buyer facilitation that could potentially mitigate the multi-faceted risks for low-income and minority households in buying homes, sustaining ownership, and negotiating tenure transitions. I offer an analysis of institutional intermediary structures in a post-crisis community development context that mediates the different stages of homeownership in the Chicago region. Analysis of four qualitative case studies shows that three types of institutions—housing institutions, community-based anchor organisations, and faith-based institutions form robust networks to provide systems of social support that go beyond housing and influence daily life experiences and destabilising life events for marginalised groups. This system of support is crucial as it impacts wealth-building trajectories for marginalised groups. Finally, my research also investigates the fragmentation and gaps in the support networks and makes a case for strengthening multi-scalar community support before rolling out subsidies for homeownership.

Artificial intelligence and the public arena

Abstract The public arena relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to ever greater degrees. Media structures hosting the public arena—such as Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube—increasingly rely on AI-enabled applications to shape information environments, autonomously generate content, and communicate with people. These applications affect the public arena’s functions: make society visible to itself and provide spaces for the formation of publics and counterpublics. We offer a framework that allows for the conceptualization and empirical examination of AI’s structural impact on the public arena. Based on this perspective, we argue that the growing uses of AI will lead to a strengthening of intermediary structures that can exercise a greater degree of control over the public arena. In addition, the data-driven nature of most AI-applications threatens to push challenges to the political status quo out of sight and obstruct the assessability of AI-enabled interventions.

The Contribution of Intersectoral Healthcare Centres with an Extended Outpatient Care Model to Improve Regional Care-Structures-A Qualitative Study.

Many smaller hospitals in Germany are currently threatened with closure due to economic reasons and politically derived centralization. In some-especially rural areas-this may result in a lack of accessible local care structures. At the same time, patients are unnecessarily admitted to hospitals due to insufficient primary care structures and healthcare coordination. Intersectoral health centers (IHC), as new intermediary structures, may offer round-the-clock monitoring (Extended Outpatient Care, EOC), with fewer infrastructure needs than hospitals and, thus, could offer a sustainable solution. In an iterative process, 30 expert interviews (with physicians, nurses and other healthcare experts) formed the basis for the derivation of diagnostic groups, relevant related patient characteristics and scenarios, as well as structural preconditions necessary for safe care in the setting of the new model of IHC/EOC. Additionally, three workshops within the multidisciplinary research team (including healthcare services researchers, GPs, and health economists) were performed. Inductive categories on disease-, case-, sociodemographic- and infrastructure-related criteria were derived following thematic analysis. Due to the expert interviews, general practice equipment plus continuous monitoring beds should form the basic infrastructure for EOCs, which should be adjusted to local needs and infrastructure demands. GPs could be aided through (electronic) support by other specialists. IHC, as a physician-led facility, should rely on experienced nurses to allow for 24-h services and to support integrated team-based primary care with GPs. Alongside nurses, case managers, therapists and social workers can be included in the structure, allowing for improved integration of (primary) care services. In order to sustain low-threshold, local access to care, especially in rural areas, IHC with extended monitoring and integration of coordinative support, emerged as a promising solution that could solve many common patient needs without the need for hospital-based inpatient care.

Study of the self-assembly of a gemini surfactant induced by anionic QDs in aqueous solution.

The interaction of anionic quantum dots (QDs) with a gemini surfactant (1,1'-(propane-1,3-diyl-2-ol)bis(3-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium)) bromide [C16Im-3OH-ImC16]Br2 in water has been investigated, yielding a unique class of luminescent self-assemblies. Instead of engaging with the QDs directly, the dimeric surfactant self-associates into micelles first. After adding [C16Im-3OH-ImC16]Br2 to aqueous solutions containing QDs, two types of structural formations, supramolecular and vesicles, were confirmed. A variety of intermediary structures, including cylindrical and oligomers of vesicles are found to be present. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were used to investigate the luminescent and morphological properties of the self-assembled nanostructures in the first turbid (Ti) and second turbid (Tf) regions. FESEM images show discrete spherical vesicles in the mixture's Ti and Tf regions. The presence of self-assembled QDs in these spherical vesicles makes them naturally luminescent, according to CLSM data. Because the QDs are equally distributed in the micelles, their self-quenching is greatly reduced and their luminescence is effectively sustained. We have also demonstrated the successful encapsulation of dye rhodamine B (RhB) into these self-assembled vesicles using CLSM without any structural disturbance. The discovery of luminescent self-assembled vesicles from a QD-[C16Im-3OH-ImC16]Br2 combination might lead to new potential in controlled release drug delivery and sensing.

Marketing support of competitiveness of agricultural enterprises

The article examines the system of agricultural marketing with the aim of meeting the needs of consumers and achieving the competitiveness of agricultural producers in the context of determining the characteristics of agricultural activity. It is substantiated that the sustainable development of agricultural production contributes to the strengthening of the economic and social security of the state, the formation of a positive image of the country, the growth of the quality of life of the urban and rural population, the increase of export potential, the maintenance of ecological balance in rural areas, the rational use, protection and reproduction of natural resources. According to the results of the assessment of the state of agricultural production in Ukraine, a change in the assortment of agricultural products was revealed in the direction of increasing the amount of cultivation of more profitable types of crop and livestock products. It was found that agricultural products occupy a leading place in Ukrainian exports. Attention is focused on the peculiarities of agricultural production, compared to other branches of the economy, which determine the specifics of the organization of marketing at agricultural enterprises. It was revealed that marketing research in the agricultural sector is mainly carried out by intermediaries, as a result of which the largest part of the profit is concentrated in intermediary structures. The stages of the process of implementation of marketing activities at enterprises producing agricultural products are characterized. It is substantiated that for the successful conduct of competition and the introduction of niche products, it is advisable to conduct marketing research and analyze the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises in the course of financial and economic activity, which will contribute to timely decision-making regarding changes in the product range, sales markets, and the enterprise management system. It has been proven that the use of marketing tools to increase the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises is important because it will contribute to taking into account external factors of influence and internal reserves of increasing efficiency. Attention is drawn to the need to select effective methods of competition and create the basis for the identification of the enterprise, which is determined by its marketing concept.

The modern system of organized mass tourism is characterized by the fact that end buyers, interacting with producers of primary tourism services, use the services of tour operators, whose activity is to develop a tourism product, its implementation and coordination of interaction between these market parties in the production and consumption of primary tourism services. At the same time, in the conditions of organized tourism in market transactions the object of purchase and sale are not individual primary tourist services (intended to directly meet the needs of tourists), but a complex tourist product as a set of services sold by a tour operator directly or through intermediary structures (travel agencies). Assortment policy as part of the sales policy of the enterprise is primarily in the formation of production and sales program, ie the definition of those types of products (services) that will be sold in certain markets in the planning period. In accordance with the division of the company's goals into long-term and short-term, the assortment policy is structured into a strategic and operational component. To manage the assortment policy, the company's management must carefully study and assess the situation in the external environment, identify internal reserves that allow for measures to improve the range. Estimates require current demand in the field of various services, which will effectively manage the range. The management of the range of products or services may be hindered by the internal problems of the organization that have accumulated, so you should analyze the state of affairs, solve problems if they exist and only then implement measures to change the range

Challenges of modernity and migration policy of the state: global trends and Kazakhstan’s reality

Object: To consider the current issues of regulation of migration processes in the world – in general and in particular – in the conditions of Kazakhstan.Methods: System analysis, comparative evaluation, methods of empirical research of cases from media materials.Results: The impact of quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic on migration processes in the countries of the world and Kazakhstan’s practice is analyzed. The problems with unregulated migration in Kazakhstan are considered, taking into account the tightening of conditions for leaving the country and entering the country due to quarantine and the state policy towards leveling the risks of deterioration of the situation of immigrants in the country. Migration policy measures aimed at stimulating ethnic repatriation to Kazakhstan and supporting the Kandas for their successful and relatively rapid adaptation to a new place, measures to regulate internal and external migration in the educational and labor spheres are presented. The main tasks of Kazakhstan’s migration policy at the present stage are defined. Considering the identified challenges and risks, emphasis is placed on the implementation of a comprehensive coordinated migration policy with the inclusion of measures for other types of policies.Conclusions: Migration regulatory authorities in Kazakhstan are currently facing the need to solve many problems, which, on the one hand, are caused by the impact of global factors (the coronavirus pandemic and political events in the world), macro-regional factors (the policy of neighboring countries on migration regulation), and the effect of internal factors (uneven development of the country’s regions, migration sentiment in Kazakh society, the situation on local labor markets). To build an effective response, coordinated actions are needed by all parties to the migration regulation process – central government agencies, local executive bodies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, various professional associations, intermediary structures (law firms, private employment agencies, recruiting agencies, educational centers, travel agents). The article presents examples of response measures and measures that help migrants cope with the negative consequences of quarantine restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, get support for adaptation and integration in the host society, protect the rights and ensure safety for all members of the migrant family, get help to return to their homeland.

Traditional, virtual, and digital intermediaries in university-industry collaboration: exploring institutional logics and bounded rationality

• University-industry intermediaries are evolving from physical to virtual, and digital forms • The intermediaries appear structure or agency-driven • We provide a comprehensive analytical framework to assess intermediaries • Identified 4 types of intermediaries: rigid, rigid-unbounded, agent-bounded, agile • The intermediaries’ rationality is not bounded by their age, ownership, or agency • Intermediation context helps to align social science and behavioral economics University-industry collaboration now extends beyond traditional intermediary structures and logics, enabled by more contemporary virtual networks and digital formats. This however poses new strategic and operational challenges for effective and responsive knowledge transfer. The purpose of this paper is to compare traditional models of knowledge transfer intermediaries in university-industry collaboration with emerging, virtual (network-based) and digital intermediaries by exploring their structures (thus institutional logics) and their services (their agency). We synthesise literature to form a comprehensive analytical framework to assess the structure and agency of twenty international knowledge transfer intermediaries from around the world. Further running a cluster analysis using multiple correspondence analysis method and following its results we propose a unique combination of institutional logic and bounded rationality lenses, which allowed us to identify four types of knowledge transfer intermediaries: rigid, rigid-unbounded, agent-bounded and agile . Our unique framework contributes to existing knowledge focused on traditional forms of knowledge transfer intermediaries, by identifying and positing institutional logics for emerging contemporary virtual and digital intermediaries in university-industry collaboration.

Research of problems of technical operation of agricultural machines

Tracking devices are increasingly used in automatic control systems for mobile agricultural machines. Many elements are regulated by standards and specifications, and it is of scientific and practical interest to establish a correspondence between the reliability of restored parts and connections with the reliability of machines. This is due to many reasons, one of which is a decrease in the technical potential of the village: the composition of the machine and tractor fleet is decreasing, the physical and moral wear of equipment is progressing. Repair and maintenance of cars due to the price arbitrariness of intermediary structures, mainly on the part of collective farms and farms. For this reason, the reliability and reliability of the machine park of rural producers remain low, negatively affects the agrotechnical timing of mechanized work, their cost. In accordance with the standard technology, standards of labor costs for the repair of machines, standards for the consumption of materials needed for repair, and standards for the consumption of spare parts were created. The economic feasibility of restoring parts is usually assessed by comparing the cost of a new part and the cost of repairing a worn one.

Graph Analysis Using Fast Fourier Transform Applied on Grayscale Bitmap Images

There is spiking interest in graph analysis, mainly sparked by social network analysis done for various purposes. With social network graphs often achieving very large size, there is a need for capable tools to perform such an analysis. In this article, we contribute to this area by presenting an original approach to calculating various graph morphisms, designed with overall performance and scalability as the primary concern. The proposed method generates a list of candidates for further analysis by first decomposing a complex network into a set of sub-graphs, transforming sub-graphs into intermediary structures, which are then used to generate grey-scaled bitmap images, and, eventually, performing image comparison using Fast Fourier Transform. The paper discusses the proof-of-concept implementation of the method and provides experimental results achieved on sub-graphs in different sizes randomly chosen from a reference dataset. Planned future developments and key considered areas of application are also described.
