The Phenomenological Model of Dogmatic Theology? Insights from Jean-Luc Marion

The subject of this article is the applicability of Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology to dogmatic theology. The article first presents Marion's views on phenomenology. It then analyses three theological strands relevant to it: the author's conception of Revelation as a saturated phenomenon, Christology and Trinitarian theology. Marion proposes to theology a broader coalition with phenomenology, claiming that because of the phenomenological nature of Revelation, it is phenomenology that constitutes the most appropriate methodological instrumentarium for it. This paper examines the consequences and problems of adopting such a position in dogmatic theology, particularly the ambivalence of Marion's gesture of abrogation of metaphysics.

Four Decades of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and its Significance for Polish Catechesis

English translation. The original article can be found here
 This year we are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The document, awaited many years by believers, contained a popularly outlined interpretation of the most important principles of faith, morals, worship and prayer. The purpose of this article is to analyse the significance of this document for the catechetical activities of the Catholic Church in Poland over the past four decades since its publication. The previous Roman Catechism served the Church for more than 400 years. A new document of such stature was to lead to a radical revision of the aims of catechesis, the prominence of its most important contents and the improvement of its methodological instrumentarium. The article will answer the following questions: “Has there really been a religious revival in the stages of adapting the Catechism of the Catholic Church to the realities of the local community of the Polish Church;” “Has it become the basis for a deeper reflection on the current state of catechesis?” It will also be important to answer the question: “Has there been a real popularisation of this document in Polish ecclesial, cultural and educational spaces?”

Механізм управління фінансовою безпекою страхової компанії

The aim of the article is to substantiate the mechanism for managing the financial security of an insurance company in the context of endogenous and exogenous risks, threats and hazards. It is proved that the economic essence of the concept of «financial security of the insurer» can be interpreted on the basis of system, system-activity, state, resource, criterion, indicator, risk- and strategically oriented approaches. It is proposed to consider the financial security of the insurer as a complex characteristic of its activities, which reflects the ability to manage finances, accumulate insurance premiums, fulfill obligations in the face of existing risks, threats and hazards of exogenous and endogenous nature. It is proved that ensuring the financial security of the insurer is based on an effective mechanism specific to each insurance company, depends on the purpose, financial and economic activities of the company, the level of its security and forms, methods and levers of its provision. The mechanism for managing the financial security of an insurance company has been improved, which is based on the definition of targets, forms, methods, levers, management tools, regulatory and information support. An approach to improving the mechanism for managing the insurer’s financial security has been developed, which is based on determining the targets of the insurer’s financial security, analyzing and evaluating the dynamics of the main indicators and activity coefficients, the existing methodological instrumentarium for assessing the level of the insurer’s security and substantiating the most acceptable methods, selecting financial security indicators, calculating the indicators of financial security, determining the level of the insurer’s financial security. Prospects for further research are the development of methodical tools and indicators for assessing the level of financial security of the insurer in the context of existential risks, threats and hazards.

Аналіз впливу монетарних інструментів на величину внутрішнього боргу в контексті постановки та вирішення задачі моделювання порогового рівня боргової безпеки

The purpose of the article is illumination of the results of the carried out studies aimed at analyzing and quantifying the relationships between key monetary instruments and indicators of domestic debt in the context of determining the threshold levels of debt security of the State. An approach to modeling and forecasting the causal relationships between monetary instruments and the size of domestic public debt has been proposed. A model of discriminant analysis based on the autoregressive model of distributed lag is developed, a classification rule is proposed, which together allow to determine the threshold level of debt security, as well as to predict the effectiveness of monetary instruments on the amount of domestic public debt and debt security. The essence of the results obtained within the terms of the carried out study lies in the development of existing scientific and methodological instrumentarium for macroeconometric modeling and forecasting the amount of domestic debt and debt security analysis. Allocating the monetary policy indicators independently of other macroeconomic factors, using the adjusted Akaike criterion to determine the lag of variables allowed to develop and evaluate a set of models that can serve as guidelines to assess the impact of monetary policy on the amount of domestic public debt and debt security, which is a distinctive feature of the presented development compared to analogues. The causality of impact analysis was also carried out to identify the most effective monetary instruments, and the analysis of the application of the results of the developed model of discriminant analysis made it possible to identify periods where domestic debt indicators underwent the greatest changes and affected the level of debt security, without taking into account the amount of external debt. Further development of the chosen direction of research will expand the range of models aimed at assessing the effectiveness of debt security mechanisms, taking into account the dynamics of monetary and other macroeconomic indicators.

Інноваційне підприємництво в системі креативного менеджменту

Creativity is becoming an increasing source of competitiveness for countries’ economies in a global context. This has led to the need to develop a methodological instrumentarium for assessing and analyzing creativity as a system of innovative entrepreneurship in both global and local contexts. The article examines the essence of innovative entrepreneurship as a key element of the creative management system, which ensures its effectiveness and commercialization opportunities. The categories of «creative management» is defined as a type of management activity aimed at creating an appropriate socio-psychological climate in teams together with the adaptive innovation infrastructure that will ensure an efficient process of development, generation and implementation of innovations. A classification of types of creativity is carried out as follows: technological, economic, artistic, and cultural. The methods of evaluation along with international indicators for rankubg creative activity are considered in detail: Global Creativity Index; Creative Productivity Index; Global Innovation Index; Index of Creativity of Cities; Hong Kong Creative Index. The development issues of the creative economy are highlighted in international rankings in various aspects and depend on the goals and priorities of researchers, as well as the factors identified for analysis. However, all indices share the same conception of creating an ecosystem to encourage more creativity. The factors that form the structural elements of the creative ecosystem can include the following: human resources; innovative infrastructure; institutional and legal environment; creative results; social capital and the degree of tolerance. In combination, this powerful intangible interaction of factors generates a phenomenon of creativity, which manifests itself in social and economic effects, creates values for the business environment and serves as the basis for innovative development of countries in the long term. The directions of further research are the analysis and development on the basis of international rankings of methods for assessing and stimulating the manifestations of creativity at the macro and micro levels

Систематика методичного інструментарію оцінки ефективності інноваційної діяльності підприємницьких структур.

Over the past decades, against the background of the innovative directedness of economic development, the role of innovative processes in the activities of entrepreneurial structures has been growing rapidly. Thus, scientific researches related to the innovative activity of entrepreneurial structures, its efficiency and methods of its evaluation become actualized. The present research is aimed at systematizing the existing methodological instrumentarium for assessing the efficiency of entrepreneurial structures, identifying its features and shortcomings for further improvement. The article carries out a detailed systematization of methodological instrumentarium for assessing the innovative activities of entrepreneurial structures, which allowed to allocate the most characteristic methods that differ in indicators and algorithms of their computing, and divide them into two groups depending on the status: governmental and scientific (recommendative). A systematization of methodologies for assessing the efficiency of innovation activity of entrepreneurial structures in accordance with the main object of research was carried out, where among the main criteria for efficiency assessing were the following: effectiveness, comparative efficiency, profit growth, factor analysis, discounting, risk discounting, innovation life cycle, and consumer interest. It is identified that not all extant methodologies allow to obtain a holistic conclusion on the state of innovation activity of entrepreneurial structures, since many of them do not take into account uneconomic factors, rather superficially evaluate or do not evaluate at all ecological, social and other spheres that have a direct impact on the level of innovation activity of entrepreneurial structures. This justifies the impossibility of wide application of such techniques for the analysis and extrapolation of the results obtained in the calculations for them to other levels of innovation development management (both industry and national).

Методичні засади оцінювання конкурентоспроможності підприємства сфери інформаційних послуг в умовах COVID-19

Information technologies are developing very rapidly themselves and are also developing the world. At present, the IT industry attracts specialists in various industries, «opens the door» to large international companies, makes it possible to create your own business. However, in order to become an experienced IT specialist and achieve your goals in this sphere, you first need to be trained. Thus, the sector of educational institutions in the sphere of information technology in Ukraine is quite saturated. There are both higher educational institutions of this direction, as well as special courses and schools of narrow profile for training of IT specialists. Educational institutions that can ensure the process of providing IT education online in view of the pandemic have a particularly advantageous situation today. Therefore, a study of assessing the competitiveness of companies in the IT education sector is an urgent problem. The article is aimed at improving the methodological instrumentarium for assessing the competitiveness of enterprises in the sphere of information services and modifying the algorithm for assessing the competitiveness of the enterprise on the basis of the introduction of the hierarchy analysis method of T. Saaty to determine the competitiveness criteria, which will allow to assess the preemptiveness of the criteria, one over one. As a result of the study, the need for practical use of methodological instrumentarium for assessing the competitiveness of enterprises in the sphere of information services is established. An authors’ own list of criteria for assessing competitiveness has been formed, taking into account the peculiarities of the activities of enterprises in this area. The competitiveness assessment process is proposed to be carried out by means of two methods: TOPSIS and VIKOR, in order to exclude possible miscalculations in the formation of the list of alternatives, and to coordinate the results of the assessment by introducing a concordation coefficient. Prospects for further research in this direction are the solution of the problem of forming a qualitative list of criteria, in particular, their ranking and constant adaptation to changes in the external environment, as well as issues related to a set of alternatives according to the scenario approach, which will allow optimizing the processes of strategic management of enterprises in the sphere of IT services that are most dependent on changes in the market.

Концептуальні підходи до трансформації заощаджень домогосподарств у інвестиції

The article is aimed at substantiating the conceptual principles of transformation of household savings into investments to activate economic processes. It is proved that the transformation of organized household savings into investments is a process of accumulating the savings and turning them into working assets through financial market instruments on the basis of assessment of both profitability and risks. It is noted that investments are exclusively organized savings, which are being accumulated on the accounts of financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, non-state pension funds, collective investment institutions, credit unions, which are attracted through the banking and parabank systems on the basis of order of priority, payment of interest, and riskiness. The article argues that the savings-investment behavior of households has changed significantly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is specified that the most attractive for households is the growth of financial assets in the form of deposits in banks of Ukraine in both national and foreign currencies, as well as the tendency to reduce long-term investment resources for terms up to two years and over two years. The conceptual principles of transformation of household savings into investments, which will allow to solve the declared tasks, are proposed, which is based on clearly defined principles and is directed towards achieving the economic and social effectiveness. Prospects for further research in this area are the substantiation of mechanisms for the formation of long-term investment resources of households and their involvement in financial assets in the context of risk assessment and systematization. It is necessary to develop a methodological instrumentarium for assessing profitability and risks to activate the savings-investment behavior of households, taking into account the alternative investments and their diversification as to various instruments of the financial market.

Функціональний аналіз і розвиток інтегрованих виробничих систем промислових підприємств

The article specifies the key economic aspects of the functioning and development of integrated manufacturing systems of industrial enterprises. The article is aimed at substantiating the prospects for the development of integrated manufacturing systems as one of the paradigms of the organization of the production process. The methodological instrumentarium of the research consisted of the following methods: retrospective analysis, synthesis, critical analysis, graphic method, generalization method. In modern conditions, more and more attention is paid to the new integrated level of manufacturing systems, which can be considered as a combined production system from an aggregate of multi-level constituents of production systems of enterprises with the most progressive organizational and technological capabilities, created for a limited time in order to implement complex projects. The evolution of the organization of production systems with the allocation of modern paradigms of variability and integration is researched. The role of technological niches in the development and marketing of multitechnological platforms as examples of integrated manufacturing systems is outlined. The main requirements for production systems created in technological niches are such parameters as their flexibility, the level of automation and the possibility of integration. It is determined that flexible or integrated production means that the functional spectrum of multitechnological platforms should be maximized. The flexible production strategy is more profitable than conventional manufacturing, if there is a high probability that additional functions will actually be applied in the future, and the integration of functions will cause lower costs than the integration of an additional single-technology machine. Integration of manufacturing technologies is an urgent paradigm for designing production systems within the framework of evolutionary theory. The direction of technological progress is determined through the concept of suitability, which represents a fuzzy image of a prospective product developed in accordance with the technological paradigm in the selection environment. The problem of classification of flexible, reconfigured and integrated manufacturing systems is the prospect of further research.

For maximum quality of business processes in the enterprise, it is necessary to use optimization methods that will allow establishing a balance between the satisfaction of consumers and competing market forces, on the one hand, and business efficiency indicators on the other. Prospect for further research in this direction is to strategize the activities of enterprises on the basis of a process approach

Методологічний потенціал теорії політичних ринків та його використання в дослідженнях економічної глобалізації

The article is aimed at covering the methodological possibilities of the theory of political markets for making research of the current macroeconomic policy. The theory of political markets in the contemporary conditions is one of the most effective methodological instruments for researching the mechanisms of macroeconomic policy implementation both within terms of individual countries and in the field of international economic relations. Analyzing, systematizing and generalizing the scientific works of many scholars, the authors combined the analysis of officially declared procedures for making relevant political decisions with real informal mechanisms for the implementation of rent-oriented behavior of any of the political entities – both personified and those who «hide» behind the relevant groups of influence, which are created specially to conceal such personal influence. As a result of the research, two directions of application of the theory of political markets are allocated to study the peculiarities of the regulatory economic activity of the modern State. First, it is an analysis of the interaction of the main internal political actors – participants in the struggle for redistribution of public goods: politicians (whose powers depend on the results of elections); officials (whose powers depend on their appointment to office); voters (who «sell» their votes in exchange for favorable further decisions of politicians) and organized pressure groups (lobbyists). Secondly, it is a study of the regulatory role of the national State in international economic relations. A perspective direction of further scientific research in this plane is the development of a theoretical and methodological instrumentarium for quantitative assessment of the scale of redistribution and the size of losses of social welfare on the basis of the economic-statistical and expert assessments.

«Книга с картинками» и ее образовательный потенциал

The author has aimed at unleashing the educational potential of contemporary children’s and adolescent books and the possibilities of working with them in the class setting. The books (the ones mentioned in the research body are included in the first part of the bibliography) are inherently texts of a new nature, they suggest markedly different practices of working with them which allow to synthesize their verbal and visual components while reading them. For this very reason work with them should be included in the educational process – because while working like that a student will master close reading techniques, ways of checking one’s own understanding and will also fulfill creative tasks. Describing and analyzing the selected books, the author demonstrates which reading practices (reading with pauses, synthesizing a continuous and discontinuous text while reading, creative tasks based on the texts and others) are offered by the designer on the pages of the books and claims that mastering publishers’ strategies, if it becomes a professional goal, will considerably enlarge teachers’ methodological instrumentarium, will allow teachers to master new techniques of working with a multicode text and to include the former into the learning process. In the course of the research the author introduces and explains concepts that are new for the national methodology of teaching literature: text of a new nature, architecture of a book – and justifies the need for using them in the professional discourse. Generally, the article demonstrates the need for engaging ‘picture books’ at the lessons of literature as long as dealing with them will broaden the reading circle of a contemporary student and will prepare them for further independent reading of various texts and books.

Методичний інструментарій оцінювання комплаєнс-ризиків фінансового моніторингу банків

The article examines the essence and directions of identification of compliance risks of banks. The criteria for assessing compliance risks of financial monitoring of banks are purported to be: the level of development of the compliance system; experience in applying influence measures to banks by the NBU for violation of the requirements of legislation in the field of prevention and counteraction to money laundering and financing of terrorism (in the form of written warnings and fines); operational risk level and staff turnover. The defined directions of assessment include result factors (taking into account cases of risk materialization) and the factors that make the compliance function implementation process uncertain. The sequence and methodological instrumentarium for assessing compliance risks of financial monitoring of banks are presented, which provides for: formation of a database for analytical research by means of digitization of data (using coefficient approach and binary characteristics method); consolidation of the results of computation of indicators for the integral assessment of the researched phenomenon (by building up a composite indicator by means of the weighted amounts method). Based on information on the activities of individual banks, which during 2014-2020 belonged to the category of systemically important, practical approbation of the developed methodological instrumentarium was carried out. Recommendations on minimization of compliance risks of banks in the field of financial monitoring are formed, including: improvement of intrabank control systems; ensuring uninterrupted work and thorough training of staff; introduction of operational algorithms of actions to identify the reasons for their involvement in the processes of money laundering; using a risk-oriented approach to test business functions; introduction of effective monitoring systems and expansion of the list of compliance risk management instruments.

The principiums of theatre imagological studies in Ivan Franko works: To the historiography of Polish-Ukrainian relations

Perspectives of Development of Agriculture in Crisis by the Example of Present-Day Russia

Introduction Under the conditions of crisis, development of agriculture, together with other spheres of economy, slows down, which leads to aggravation of the problem of national food security. Methods of forecasting of emergence and depth of crisis phenomena in the sphere of agriculture, used within agrarian policy, which is conducted currently in Russia and other countries, are characterized by low effectiveness. They did not allow forecasting the recent financial crisis nor overcoming its consequences up to this time. This explains high actuality of development of effective methodological instrumentarium for determination of crisis phenomena in the sphere of agriculture and organizational & economic mechanisms for determination of perspective directions of fighting the crisis in this top-priority sphere of economy. The purpose of the article is to determine perspectives of development of agriculture under the conditions of crisis by the example of modern Russia. Materials and method Specifics of anti-crisis management of agrarian sector of economy is viewed in the works of such authors as (Y. Kozenko, 2011), (Y. Kozenko, 2014), (Ovchinnikov et al., 2015), (Filin, 2011), (Filin & Korobeynikov, 2011), (Filin 2010), (Kanishchev, 2014), etc. Consequences of crisis in food sector for economy on the whole and means of fighting agricultural crisis in various countries are viewed in studies by such scientists as (Popkova et al., 2015a), (Popkova et al., 2015b), (Regan et al., 2016), (Smart et al., 2015), (Rakopoulos, 2015), (Morley et al., 2014), (Crescimanno et al., 2014), (Gliessman, 2014), (Sommerville et al., 2014), etc. The studies by the stated authors form fundamental theoretical & methodological foundation of the viewed problem--however, these works do not pay attention to specifics and consequences of modern crisis in agrarian production, evaluating and forecasting parameters, organizational & economic mechanisms of fighting it, and developments of strategic directions for overcoming crisis and sustainable development of Russian agrarian production. The authors of this article had a task of determining internal and external factors of emergence and deepening of crisis in Russia, forming evaluating parameters for forecasting possibilities of sustainable development of production under the conditions of crisis, evaluating the current state, and determining preconditions for overcoming the crisis in production. The task included analysis of influence of crisis on financial state of enterprises, supplementing and systematizing the content of anti-crisis measures in the country as to levels of realization. Practical measures included development and approbation of the methodology of complex evaluation of economic dynamics by the example of enterprises in crisis for the purpose of forecasting of possibilities of overcoming it, as well as determination of perspective strategic directions of sustainable development of country's production. Within the general systemic approach to study of the problem, the authors use instrumentarium of abstract & logical, economic & statistical, economic & mathematical, comparative, and calculation & constructive methods of research, and schematic interpretation of the viewed phenomena and processes. Results Preconditions for overcoming the agrarian crisis are based on strong sides and possibilities of organization and management of the sphere, which include experience of anti-crisis management, diversification of agrarian structure, ecological compatability of products, formation of market infrastructure, conditions for import substitution and overcoming technological underrun, state agrarian policy, and anti-crisis measures. For optimization of anti-crisis policy at the federal level, this work offers establishment of temporary moratorium for bankruptcy of agricultural organizations, preservation of subsidized tax regime, stimulation of rational placement of production, ordering of land relations, and development of consumer cooperation. …
