Digitalization of accounting and its impact on the activities of small and medium-sized businesses

Main problem: For several years, the state has been trying to reduce bureaucratic processes with entrepreneurs, make accounting transparent, reliable and with less labor costs. At the moment, without digitalization in accounting, it is impossible to predict the further development of trade and economic relations in general, since it significantly affects the sale, movement and shipment of goods. The gradual transition of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the path of digitalization can be considered the most important condition for the development of both the country’s economy and the Eurasian Economic Union. Digital inspection is the process of monitoring goods using digital systems, which helps reduce the risk of human error. In the context of digitalization, work with documentation should be structured in such a way that access to them is ensured throughout the entire limitation period, thereby facilitating the taxpayer in making the right economic decisions. The purpose of this article is to consider the gradual integration of digitalization into the field of accounting for both small and medium-sized businesses, and also to consider its impact on the business processes of organizations. The main objective of the article is to consider the introduction of digitalization into business processes and possible problems during its integration, as well as to identify ways to eliminate them without losses for both the state and small and medium-sized businesses. Methods: In the course of writing this article, a dialectical approach was mainly used, which made it possible to examine in detail the process of reflecting and controlling document flow when moving goods in the context of digitalization. Approaching the issue theoretically and summarizing practical experience, it was possible to identify the positive and negative aspects of accounting and control of the movement of goods on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and beyond its borders in the conditions of rapidly developing digitalization. Results and their significance: This article reflects the main directions of modernization of accounting and operational accounting in Kazakhstan in the context of the progressive digitalization of the economy. The necessity of creating an information environment for managing economic processes and optimizing the operational activities of an enterprise is substantiated, and the positive and negative aspects of the integration of various information systems and modules for maintaining accounting and operational records at an enterprise are considered.

Pulmonary hypertension: modern methods of treatment and ways of their long-term development.

Introduction: The purpose of this work is to review the main pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of PH, as well as modern established methods of treatment of various types of PH and to consider new, most relevant and promising possibilities of therapy for this pathology. Etiology, pathogenesis and epidemiology: In the modern structure of diseases, pulmonary hypertension plays a significant role, affecting about 1% of the population. However, each of its five main groups has its own characteristics. The causes of pulmonary hypertension can be a polyetiological violation of the processes of endotheliocyte apoptosis and angiogenesis, passive transmission of increased pressure from the left heart to the small circulatory system, chronic hypoxia, leading to vascular remodeling, and many others. In general, it is worth noting that, despite the multiplicity of etiological factors, the main pathogenetic link in the development of pulmonary hypertension is endothelial dysfunction. Treatment and promising areas of research: This article discusses the main established approaches to the treatment of pulmonary hypertension: general recommendations for patients, drugs used as supportive nonspecific therapy, as well as specific conservative and radical methods of treatment. In addition, the main modern directions of scientific research in the field of treatment of pulmonary hypertension are described. Such promising methods as the use of stem cells, gene therapy and epigenetic drugs are considered. Conclusion: Despite active research and many different drugs intended for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, this pathological condition remains an urgent health problem. Thus, the search for new points of application of therapy and fundamentally new methods of treatment of pulmonary hypertension remains relevant to this day.

Psychological – pedagogical aspects of providing a formative assessment to the control and evaluation activities of primary class teachers in the conditions of NUSH

The psychological-pedagogical aspects of the primary school teacher’s control and assessment activities are analyzed through the prism of the formative approach, which is becoming dominant in the conditions of the NUSH (New Ukrainian School). The main content of the concepts of control, assessment, educational achievements is revealed. Assessment is the stimulus for learning, dominating the elementary grades in the form of motivated evaluative judgment. The values of the main functions and principles of formative assessment are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the age-related psychological characteristics of children of primary school age and the formation of basic neoplasms, the so-called metacognitive skills, which are manifested through reflection, self-evaluation, and mutual evaluation. The teacher’s use of detailed evaluative judgments in teaching first-graders in order to establish positive feedback is described. The need for teachers to understand that objectivity, impartiality of evaluation, positive feedback, self-evaluation and mutual evaluation of educational activities are important tools based on partnership pedagogy, which is one of the main directions of modernization of primary education, is emphasized. The combination of daily control with self-assessment, the use of verbal assessment in the form of motivated pedagogical judgments, which is a positive psychological aspect of the implementation of formative assessment, is substantiated. The key competence is highlighted – the ability to learn, which is based on the development of personal assets of primary school students. For this purpose, an analysis of the main stages of the algorithm of the teacher’s activity during the application of the formative approach, as a process of such control and evaluation activity, which would contribute, first of all, to the development and formation of the student’s personality, was made. The algorithm for determining educational goals emphasizes the expediency of applying the SMART principle, positive feedback, reveals the importance of reflection as a factor in the formation of self-evaluation and mutual evaluation of elementary school students. Emphasis is placed on the creation of a «situation of success» in the control and evaluation activities of primary school teachers during the use of formative evaluation.

Development of directions for modernizing means of technology transfer financing at the account of the non-banking financial market under martial law. the example of Ukraine

This study has revealed the inconsistency of the existing rules for regulating the process of financing technology transfer with the external geopolitical and economic challenges that Ukraine had to face. Including through the introduction of martial law and open armed aggression of the neighboring state. It has been substantiated that the current state of regulatory support for the process of financing and financial support for technology transfer does not meet the strategic interests of the state of Ukraine, the national economy, business, production, and society as a whole. The necessity of a significant expansion of the existing mechanisms for attracting free funds in relations related to the circulation of technologies in Ukraine has been proved. The existing restrictions on the capabilities of the non-banking financial sector in the implementation of financial support for the processes of creation, transfer of rights and implementation of technologies have been identified and systematized. An analysis of the feasibility of their weakening was carried out taking into consideration the interests of consumers of financial services and indirect financial investors. General potential directions, forms, and fundamentals, participation of the non-banking financial sector in the processes of financial support for technology transfer have been formed. These include investment, insurance, lending, financial guarantees, financial leasing, additional financing, and co-financing. The experience of the European Union in this area was analyzed. As a result of the study, the main directions of modernization and change of the current legislation of Ukraine were proposed. These changes are aimed at creating preconditions for involving the non-banking financial sector (financial institutions and financial companies) in the processes of financial support for technology transfer in Ukraine.

Strategic planning for food security

Strategic planning as a management mechanism aimed at achieving the priority goals of the state, including the processes of goal-setting, forecasting and planning the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, is the most important political and legal basis for the development of Russia. Food security is an integral part of the national security of the Russian Federation. The modernization of strategic planning in the field of food security of the Russian Federation in 2022 led to the formulation of the task of ensuring the food independence of our country. The strategic planning documents in the field of food security define risks and threats, goals and objectives, indicators and assessment indicators, the main directions of state policy aimed at realizing the national interests of the Russian Federation. The conducted legal analysis of strategic planning documents in the field of food security at the federal level led to the conclusion that the Russian Federation has formed a multi-level system of political and legal acts aimed at achieving Russia’s indicators of food independence, improving the quality of life of citizens, providing the population with high-quality and safe food products, sustainable development and modernization of agriculture and fisheries and infrastructure, production of agricultural products that meet environmental, sanitary and epidemiological, veterinary requirements, increasing the efficiency of state support for agricultural producers, training highly qualified personnel for agriculture. At the same time, in modern geopolitical conditions, it is necessary to revise certain provisions of strategic planning documents in the field of ensuring food security in terms of clarifying target indicators, terms, measures of state support for agricultural producers. The article formulates the main directions of modernization of strategic planning documents to ensure food security.

The topic of the research is the development of new models and methods to assess the efficiency of port operations of sea passenger ports and terminals in order to effectively plan the work and accurate forecasting of infrastructure development. It is noted that changes in cruise and ferry route networks, especially relevant in the conditions of passenger traffic recovery after the gradual lifting of restrictions due to Covid-19, will directly affect port congestion. It is proposed to include into the sphere of decision-making on management of the sea passenger port the models based on consideration of probabilistic processes of cruise or ferry vessels calls. The Baltic Sea region is chosen as an object of research. The main modern directions in the sphere of sea passenger transportations confirming the gradual recovery of the route networks operation are presented. The flow of cruise and ferry vessels of the sea passenger port “Passenger port St. Petersburg “Marine Facade” is chosen as an object of research. The analysis of loading of berths, the analysis of the size of cruise and ferry ships, the route networks of ferry and cruise lines are carried out. As a result of the research a new stochastic model is presented and comparison with known distribution laws is carried out. Based on the data obtained, a confidence zone for making decisions on port congestion is determined. This area is formed on the basis of an assessment of the study of the dynamics of ship traffic nonstationary intensity, followed by the application of correlation-regression analysis and the characteristics of the random function describing the intervals between individual arrivals of cruise and ferry ships. The proposed model includes the ability to consider different priorities, primarily in terms of vessel length. Digital transport model is built in AnyLogic environment for port congestion study. The received data are used for optimization experiments in AnyLogic software environment with the purpose of complex estimation of the seaport operation for a year. Based on the optimization experiment and simulation, data are generated considering different distribution laws and used for decision making in case of uncertainty for infrastructure modernization.

Justifying the parameters of ore fields underground mining with goaf backfilling

Relevance. Manmade deposits have a major impact on environmental ecosystems in mining. Therefore, the priority direction of comprehensive research is the creation of technologies and technical means based on minimizing production waste. Research objective is to justify the parameters of ore fields underground mining with goaf backfilling using mathematical modeling and multi-criteria minimization of mining waste based on the results obtained by the regression analysis and planning of an experiment, ensuring economic efficiency and environmental safety growth, as well as subsoil rational use and protection. Methods of research. The parameters of technogenic deposit formation when extracting ore by traditional and alternative technologies were determined. The earth’s surface and underground working stress-strain state parameters were calculated. The technologies of converting inactive reserves of technogenic deposits into active ones by influencing them by physicochemical processes were studied. Parameters and regression dependences were calculated using the Maple 9.5 mathematical software package. The presented graphs were built in Maple 9.5 or Microsoft Excel using standard and new methods. Results. It is shown that the preservation of the rock mass implies the possibility of controlling the main stresses by limiting their deformations by filling technogenic voids with hardening mixtures of different composition and strength from 1.2 to 6.0 MPa. The structural weakening coefficient increases towards the periphery to 0.15, which means a decrease in strength in comparison with the undisturbed massif from 1.5 to 6.0 times. Conclusions. The regression dependences of profit on the coefficients of losses and dilution, indicators of soil excavation, total processing costs, as well as damage (economic consequences) from dilution of ore in the vicinity of the optimum point are obtained. The profit dependence is a convex monotonically decreasing function, where the profit value is the smaller, the greater the ore dilution coefficient. With an increase in the ore dilution coefficient to 0.6, the profit value will fall to 50.5 rubles/t, i.e. more than 20%. The main directions of modernization of technologies for underground mining of mineral deposits are recommended, taking into account their combination within a single mine field.

СТРАТЕГІЧНІ ОРІЄНТИРИ МОДЕРНІЗАЦІЇ УПРАВЛІННЯ РЕГІОНАЛЬНОЮ ЕКОНОМІКОЮ: ФАКТОР ГІРСЬКИХ ТЕРИТОРІЙ

Introduction. The analysis of the main factors that generate profound differences in socio-economic development in a spatial section shows that, if at the initial stage of the economic reform they were caused mainly by different starting conditions that existed in the cities and villages of the Zakarpattia region before the beginning of the reforms, then in the current conditions, the dynamics of economic processes is determined purely by market factors - the level of development of entrepreneurial activity, the competitiveness of goods and services, the conditions for the formation of costs, prices, demand and supply, as a result of which there is an increasing dynamic of the formation of market relations in a spatial section. The situation in mountain settlements is extremely negative, which significantly lags behind the average regional indicators for a number of important indicators of socio-economic development, which necessitates the development of an innovative management model in the post-war period, which would be based on more effective use of own production, resource and human capital. Taking into account the creative factors for the region in general and for mountain settlements, an innovative model of ecological and economic development can be considered promising, under the influence of which their economic priorities, sectoral structure of the economy, specialization of production, development of entrepreneurship, placement of new productions according to the criterion of environmental friendliness, etc. are formed. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to outline the strategic orientations of socio-economic modernization of the regional economy through the prism of the development of mountainous areas. Materials and methods. The research materials are: 1) regulatory and legal support for the regulation of the development of mountain settlements in Ukraine; 2) works of domestic and foreign authors conducting their scientific and practical research in the field of regional development, in particular, regarding the development of depressed and mountainous areas. In the process of carrying out the research, the following methods of cognition were used: abstract-logical (with generalizations of a theoretical nature based on the works of domestic and foreign scientists); monographic (when studying and summarizing the experience and prerequisites for the growth of the socio-economic level of development of individual territories); systemic (when developing strategic guidelines for the modernization of the socio-economic development of the region and mountain settlements). Results. The article examines the problem of developing strategic directions for socio-economic modernization of the region's economy in the post-war period through the prism of stimulating the development of mountainous territories, since the latter are the least developed and, accordingly, the most problematic territories in the context of their socio- economic development. Based on the study of various scientific approaches, the essence of the concept of "modernization" has been clarified. The main directions of modernization of the economy of mountain areas at the regional level of development are proposed, which include the implementation of complex systemic measures with the aim of implementing deep structural and sectoral changes Discussion. In further scientific research, it is proposed to focus attention on the development of the conceptual basis for the development of state regional policy on an innovative basis, which was aimed at stimulating regional development in the post-war period, where a major role should be given to the outline of priority directions for stimulating the development of depressed territories and communities, which undoubtedly belong most mountain settlements.
