Statistical analysis of the transformation of agricultural production in various categoriesof farms and forms of management

Agriculture is a complex material process, where the starting point is the presence of certain factors of production, productive forces and a special factor — land resources. The functioning and development of agriculture are associated with numerous threats and risks that require their assessment, monitoring, identification, taking into account the size of the industry, which is important from the point of view of forming directions for further promising development, obtaining maximum profit at the lowest cost. The institutional component also remains extremely important: the optimal form of organization of agricultural production, in which the available resources can be used in the best way. For the most complete and comprehensively in-depth assessment of the quantitative and qualitative transformation of the agricultural sector, the methodology of statistics has been applied. Based on the use of Salai and integral Ryabtsev indicators, the article characterizes the structural differences in agricultural production in the context of business categories and organizational and legal forms over 30 years; substantiates approaches to the optimal selection and use of analytical tools to assess the size of production in order to identify the most effective. Based on the estimated data, the main trends in the development of the industry have been identified, the results of the functioning of the activities of a set of organizations by categories of farms and organizational and legal forms have been summarized. The provisions of the article can be used to model threats, risks and predict the further vector of agricultural development in the formation of directions of state support, adjustment of fiscal policy for different categories of farms.

Assessing the impact of scientific and industrial cooperation on the development of a high-tech corporation

The article offers the author’s view on the formation of an economic and mathematical model that takes into account the influence of the innovative potential of an enterprise on the dynamics of growth in the volume of output, taking into account a number of production factors characteristic of a manufacturing enterprise. The proposed economic and mathematical model allows us to take into account the mutual influence of both the product potential of an industrial enterprise and its process and innovation potential. In its structure, the economic and mathematical model proposed by the authors is presented in the form of a system of differential equations that takes into account the volume of resources of various types available to an industrial enterprise, as well as the functions of its innovative potential and indicator functions that characterize the process of managing the processes of using the innovative potential available to an industrial enterprise. The work displays several options for assessing the process of forming the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, taking into account different combinations of possible product and process technological innovations. The economic and mathematical model proposed by the authors for taking into account the influence of the innovative potential of an enterprise on the dynamics of growth in the volume of manufactured products provides for an alternative approach to the formation of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise: either the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise is formed through the introduction of product technological innovations, implying the introduction of new goods to the consumer market with an additional set of product characteristics, or innovative potential is formed on the basis of the use of innovations in the field of organizational sphere: production organization and labor organization. The authors proposed variants of scenarios for the development of events in which the innovative potential can be used both immediately and with some delay in time.

Развитие финансового и управленческого учета для повышения эффективности отрасли садоводства

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to develop approaches to the construction of accounting and information support for the production management system of planting material for horticulture. Methodology and methods. The methodological basis was a systematic and integrated approach to the study of the problems of accounting in horticultural organizations. Both general theoretical, universal, and specific research methods were used (monographic method; analysis and synthesis; statistical-economic, computational-constructive and accounting modeling method). Results. The article shows that in order to reduce import dependence, horticulture on an innovative basis has been intensively developing in recent years. The drastic changes taking place in the development of the horticulture industry necessitate a revision of the approach to managing this industry. At the same time, the construction of an adequate management system for the sustainable development of fruit and berry production is impossible without relevant accounting and information support for all management functions. The current state and development trends of the horticulture industry in Russia as a whole and in the Voronezh region are considered. The analysis of the dynamics of the laying of gardens and nurseries in the region is presented. It is proved that one of the key factors in the development of horticulture is the production of high-quality domestic planting material. The assessment of state support for the planting and cultivation of seedlings and young gardens was carried out. The conclusion is made about the inconsistency of the existing accounting and management accounting system for the cost of nursery products with the tasks of the management system. The scientific novelty lies in the adaptation of financial accounting methods to the requirements of federal accounting standards, among which accounting models are proposed for reflecting the facts of economic life on accounting accounts in the context of using various methods of evaluating seedlings; the development of methods and systems of managerial accounting of nursery costs in relation to options for the organization and technology of production of seedlings and modern conditions of functioning of agribusiness in horticulture; justification approaches to budgeting the cost of seedlings.

Financial crises and the global supply network: Evidence from multinational enterprises

This paper empirically examines the effects of financial crises on the organization of production of multinational enterprises. We construct a panel of European multinational networks from 2003 through 2015. We compute a multinational-specific shock based on the geographical structure of the network and the extent of the financial crisis in the countries belonging to the network. We document that multinationals facing a larger shock to their network experience lower growth in their number of affiliates and a deterioration in parents’ performance. This adjustment to the financial crisis is accounted for by multinationals with initially more leveraged parents, and it is exacerbated in networks more dependent on external financing. Moreover, initially more leveraged affiliates are more likely to be dropped from a multinational network. These findings lend support to financial frictions shaping multinational activity.

Multifunctional Sr,Mg-Doped Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Bone Regeneration and Drug Delivery.

Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) doped with therapeutical ions present multifunctional systems that enable a synergistic outcome through the dual delivery of drugs and ions. The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of co-doping with strontium and magnesium ions (SrMg-MBGNs) on the properties of MBGNs. A modified microemulsion-assisted sol-gel synthesis was used to obtain particles, and their physicochemical properties, bioactivity, and drug-loading/release ability were evaluated. Indirect biological assays using 2D and 3D cell culture models on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and endothelial EA.hy926 cells, respectively, were used to determine biocompatibility of MBGNs, their influence on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, calcium deposition, and cytoskeletal organization. Results showed that Sr,Mg-doping increased pore volume and solubility, and changed the mesoporous structure from worm-like to radial-dendritic, which led to a slightly accelerated drug release compared to pristine MBGNs. Biological assays confirmed that particles are biocompatible, and have ability to slightly induce ALP production and calcium deposition of hBM-MSCs, as well as to significantly improve the proliferation of EA.hy926 compared to biochemical stimulation via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) administration or regular media. Fluorescence staining revealed that SrMg-MBGNs had a similar effect on EA.hy926 cytoskeletal organization to the VEGF group. In conclusion, Sr,Mg-MBGNs might be considered promising biomaterial for biomedical applications.

Morphometric characteristics of the relief and assessment of erosional hazards of the Kalaus River basin, Russia, based on digital modelling

In this work, the main goal was to analyse the erosional hazards within the boundaries of the Kalaus River catchment area.The paper analyses the erosive state of the region's lands, for which industry and cadastral maps, a digital elevation model and satellite images were used. Official data of ministries and departments were used. Geographic information systems – QGIS and SAGA GIS – served as the basis for modelling. The article presents the results of GIS modeling of erosional hazards in the territory of the Kalaus River basin. Based on the (DEM) SRTM digital elevation model, the basic morphometric indicators of the relief were calculated: steepness of the slopes and vertical and horizontal dissection of the relief. Based on morphometric indicators, an integral calculation of the energy of relief and erosion hazard was carried out and a series of relevant thematic maps was created. The values of slope steepness obtained within the boundaries of the basin range from 0° to 51° with average values of 2.5°. The horizontal dissection varies in the range from 0 to 0.84 km/km2, and the erosion bases are characterized by a range of values from – 15.0 to 248.6 m, with an average value of 33.0 m. The formation of the erosional potential of the basin’s relief is facilitated by the location of a significant part of the region on the spurs of the Stavropol Upland, which have widely developed slopes. Based on the calculated raster of the integral energy index of the relief, 3 categories of erosional hazard are identified. Most of the basin of the Kalaus River (58.4 %) is characterised by a low erosion hazard, another 39.0 % of the territory presents an average erosion hazard, and the remaining 2.9 % belongs to territories with a strong erosion hazard. The classification of relief surface shapes based on the Iwahashi and Pike method, which was carried out on the basis of a DEM, shows a much greater prevalence of steep slopes with high convexity in the southern part of the Kalaus River basin.The identified features of the level of erosional hazard of the lands of the Kalaus River basin are recommended to be taken into account in preinvestment, pre‐design and urban project planning of the territories of administrative units located within the boundaries of the basin. Despite the fact that the results of GIS analysis cannot completely replace field erosion surveys, their value as a tool for planning rational land use is obvious. The results of the work can be used to carry out a similar assessment in other regions, primarily in the organisation of agricultural production.

TECHNICAL-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF RISK MANAGEMENT ON THE SEMI-TRANSHUMANT LIVESTOCK SYSTEM, CASE OF AIN EL BELL REGION IN ALGERIA

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of risk management on the semi-transhumant livestock system, in order to suggest a better model for managing the sheep production cycle. Theoretical Framework: The semi-transhumant livestock system is facing an unprecedented set of risks occurring simultaneously. Therefore, studying the organization and management techniques of the semi-transhumant livestock system through a techno-economic approach, compares two situations (SWOR and SWR) based on using indisputable measures. Method: A field survey is conducted with 300 breeders during the period from 2019 to 2021. The collected data are processed using the statistical model SPSS. Results and Discussion: It is concluded that despite different situations, the same simplified production organization and marketing channels (social networks, informal contracts, etc.) are maintained. The SWR shows a decrease in herd size, adoption of 3 reproductive cycles, herd mobility and average profit, etc. However, there is an increase in production costs and acquisition of food products, etc. Ultimately, the results show that while unique risk situations impact semi-transhumant farming systems differently, their technical organizational and management measures render this impact insignificant based on non-parametric chi-square testing. Research Implications: This study provides insight into risk management offering implications for technically feasible practices that are reliable and bio-economically viable for sustaining semi-transhumant livestock system. Originality/Value: The value of this research is demonstrated by appropriate technical organizational and management measures impacting techno-economic farming results which will be useful to consider when other risks arise in future.

Global research on type 1 diabetes: A bibliometric study during 2001-2022

Objective. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) publications have increased over the past three decades. However, there is no study to address and identify gaps in this area and to plan future research. This study aims to analyze the global scientific production of T1D in terms of overall structure and hotspots. Methodology. The research literature on T1D from 2001 to 2022 was obtained and examined from the Scopus database. We then performed bibliometric analysis and network visualization using MS Excel and VOSviewer software. Results and Discussion. The global T1D research comprised 20473 publications, which witnessed 6.19% and 58.91% annual average and 10-year cumulative growth during 2001-2022. These together received 596950 citations, with an average Citation Per Paper (CPP) of 29.16. Of the total global publications, 6030 (29.45%) received external funding support from international agencies and 19553 citations (with an average CPP of 32.43). The global publications were sourced from more than 150 countries and were published in 2665 journals by 63747 authors from 24899 organizations. There is an uneven distribution of countries, organizations, and authors in T1D research, wherein 88.37%, 45.15%, and 20.66% of the global literature was contributed by the top 12 countries and top 30 organizations and authors each. The most productive countries were the USA and UK, with a global share of 30% and 11.1% respectively. The most impactful countries were Finland and the UK regarding CPP & Relative Citation Index (RCI). The Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, USA, and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, USA, were the most productive organizations, with 735 and 679 publications. Jaeb Center for Health Research, USA (77.03 and 2.64) and Harvard Medical School, USA (67.42 and 2.31) were the most impactful organizations regarding CPP & RCI. Pediatric Diabetes (n=1447) and Diabetes Care (n=1191) were the most productive journals, with 1447 and 1191 papers. Diabetes and Diabetes Care registered the highest CPP (81.54 and 73.88 CPP). The most significant and frequently appearing keywords were “diabetes mellitus, type 1”) (92441), “insulin dependent diabetes mellitus” (95750), “metabolism” (24911), “genetics” (11229), “autoantibodies” (8942), “c peptide” (9931) and “pancreas islet beta cell” (7191). Only 5.54% (1134) of the global publications (considered highly-cited papers) received 100 to 4654 citations since their publications and registered a total of 220.28 CPP. Conclusion. This bibliometric study indicated that most of the contributions came from developed countries and only a meager contribution from developing countries, especially South Asia, despite a significant disease burden. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the present status of T1D research. It enables a better understanding of T1D research over the years. It should give the researchers structured information and a comprehensive analysis to help identify gaps in the research and the hot spots in this area of research.

Communicating intergenerational justice and climate change: a study of youth-generated environmental discourses

Abstract Awareness of climate change as an intergenerational issue with inequitable risk burden for younger generations is a relatively recent phenomenon. However, youth activists have already managed to come to occupy a meaningful role in climate advocacy. Accepting the invitation to search for positive new discourses to live by, this paper applies a positive discourse analytical lens to the study of the online discourses produced by the youth climate activists of Generation Climate Europe (GCE), the largest coalition of youth-led networks on climate and environmental issues at the European level, examining how GCE newsletters and podcasts use discursive strategies and multimodal resources to communicate their message. The (corpus-assisted) positive discourse analysis of this GCE-produced content revealed that the youth activists designed a complex virtual space brimming with cross-references, intertextuality, and options for its audience that projected an identity for the coalition as a productive, solution-oriented, and agentive organization. The discourses produced by GCE were carefully tailored to a specific interpretive community and they aimed to both claim and impart authority and expertise. GCE’s interactional practices strove to generate wiggle room to resist the status quo and advocate for critical issues such as intergenerational justice and institutional transparency. In disclosing these results, the authors hope to have contributed to understandings of how sustainable climate advocacy is currently being enacted by youth within digital communication across platforms.

Сучасні тенденції розвитку людського капіталу в глобальному середовищі.

The world’s development currently reflects the influence of globalization processes affecting the world economy, international relations, and human development. Therefore, it is relevant to study changes in human development under the impact of the growing interconnectedness and interdependence of the world. The objective of this article is to determine the impact of global processes on human development, as reflected by the global HDI. The novelty of the article is that it reveals trends in the development of human capital in a global environment under the influence of transnationalization processes, rising international migration, and the growth of global cities. The research relies on the methods of system analysis, scientific generalizations and comparisons, as well as economic and statistical analysis. The article postulates that multinational companies, which have spread in the process of globalization, contributed to the creation of millions of jobs throughout the world, stimulated the demand for highly qualified specialists and the rapid growth of all types of education, and promoted the introduction of new forms of production organization and control enhancing production culture and management. This caused the growth of employees’ incomes, boosted demand for consumer goods, thus stimulating a significant expansion of the range of supplied goods and services, the growth of national production and domestic market, and, finally, enhancing living standards and HDI indicators of the host countries. The rising importance of global demographic trends embraces a noticeable growth of the Earth’s population, which is uneven by country and region, the growth in the percentage of elderly people, especially in the developed countries. An important trend is the growth of international migration resulting from the liberalization of international relations, the development of communications, access to better education, the growth of well-being and expanding opportunities for education and self-realization abroad. The number of international migrants is growing faster than the global population, and this trend is likely to continue in the future. Urbanization and the growth of global cities have a significant impact on human development due to their high rates of employment, highly skilled labor, high professional and cultural level of workers, and high incomes. Such cities have become centers accumulating creative and intellectual capitals. The article exposes that investments in education, welfare, and health care in many countries had a positive long-term (over 30 consecutive years) effect on the growing values of the Human Development Index, as well as the global HDI, although the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted it in 2020. Meanwhile, HDI changes occur differently in different country groups, with OECD countries permanently holding the leading positions. The research adds new qualitative knowledge about human capital, trends in its development in the new conditions of globalization, which strengthens traditional views and enriches alternative approaches to the formation of conceptual understanding of human capital.

Material characterization revealing production models of the Late Ming silver hairpins

The Site of Jiangkou in Pengshan, Sichuan province revealed the largest assemblage of silver artefacts ever known in China. These artefacts were collected by Zhang Xianzhong, the rebellion general of the Late Ming and Early Qing period, from Sichuan and adjacent provinces, and sunk in the Minjiang River after his failure in 1644 CE. This research focuses on silver hairpins from this assemblage and explores their production system via detailed typological investigation and material characterization. According to their style, forming techniques and material provenance, the Jiangkou hairpins can be divided into three groups corresponding with three different types of production workshops. The first group was made in independent silversmiths mainly serving non-official civilians. Metallographic analysis shows they were made with varied forming techniques, including forging, folding, casting and welding. They were alloyed with varied amount of copper. The other two types have much more standardized forming techniques and are associated with the commercial workshops capable of mass production and government institutions. The commercial workshops commonly used forging-annealing method to make their hairpins and maintained a well consistent chemical composition across their products. The silver hairpins made by government institutions were all cast into shape, suggesting a highly standardized system. This type of hairpins were mostly found in tombs of royal families and high elites. This research revealed a stratified silver production system in the Late Ming period and demonstrated the strength of material characterization in revealing production organization models.

The Potential Diversity of Agricultural Biomass in the Context of the Organization of Agricultural Production and Circular Agriculture in Poland

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, but it also generates many residues and waste that are only partially used (as, for example, feed, litter, and fertilizer). The resulting residues and waste can be valuable components for other sectors of the economy (e.g., energy), contributing to the implementation of a circular economy. The main aim of the research is to assess the diversity of the biomass potential from agricultural residues in the context of the level of organization of agricultural production and circular agriculture in Poland at the local level (314 counties). The level of organization of agricultural production was determined using the synthetic measure based on four variables (average farm size, number of tractors per farm, share of farms producing for the market, and the number of AWU per 100 ha of UAA). The potential of agricultural biomass was estimated on the basis of existing surpluses of straw, hay, energy crops grown on marginal lands, and residues from orchard maintenance. The data came from the General Agricultural Census conducted by the Polish Statistical Office in 2020. The conducted research showed that over 75% of counties are characterized by a high and medium level of organization of agricultural production. However, unused biomass resources from agricultural production residues are common (2/3 of counties are characterized by high and medium potential). There is a positive relationship between the level of biomass potential from agricultural residues and the level of organization of agricultural production at the local level in Poland, but the strength of this relationship is weak.

Speech's syllabic rhythm and articulatory features produced under different auditory feedback conditions identify Parkinsonism

Diagnostic tests for Parkinsonism based on speech samples have shown promising results. Although abnormal auditory feedback integration during speech production and impaired rhythmic organization of speech are known in Parkinsonism, these aspects have not been incorporated into diagnostic tests. This study aimed to identify Parkinsonism using a novel speech behavioral test that involved rhythmically repeating syllables under different auditory feedback conditions. The study included 30 individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and 30 healthy subjects. Participants were asked to rhythmically repeat the PA-TA-KA syllable sequence, both whispering and speaking aloud under various listening conditions. The results showed that individuals with PD had difficulties in whispering and articulating under altered auditory feedback conditions, exhibited delayed speech onset, and demonstrated inconsistent rhythmic structure across trials compared to controls. These parameters were then fed into a supervised machine-learning algorithm to differentiate between the two groups. The algorithm achieved an accuracy of 85.4%, a sensitivity of 86.5%, and a specificity of 84.3%. This pilot study highlights the potential of the proposed behavioral paradigm as an objective and accessible (both in cost and time) test for identifying individuals with Parkinson's disease.

P-419 Relevance of intravenous immunoglobulins in patients with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss that occurred at the same gestational weeks every time

Abstract Study question Are intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) effective for the selected patients who experienced unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) that occurred at the same gestational weeks every time? Summary answer IVIG before and after the gestational week-limit (GWL), where miscarriage occurred at the same gestational weeks every time, may improve pregnancy outcomes in RPL patients. What is known already There is no established treatment for patients with unexplained RPL. Some investigators have indicated that IVIG may exhibit therapeutic efficacy in women with unexplained RPL. Since it has been reported that live birth rate significantly increased in women with four or more RPL of unexplained etiology, who received a high dose IVIG at 4-5 weeks of gestation in 2022, ESHRE Guideline Group on RPL (2022) has changed the recommendation to the following: the use of repeated and high doses of IVIG very early in pregnancy may improve live birth rate in women with four or more unexplained RPL. Study design, size, duration We performed a retrospective study between September 2013 to March 2023 in two fertility centers. We included 164 patients in the study who experienced 2 or more miscarriages between 5 and 21 weeks of gestation that occurred at the same gestational weeks every time, who had all negative results for our routine RPL work up and still unsuccessful result after treating these conditions, and whose products of conceptus (POC) revealed at least one normal karyotype. Participants/materials, setting, methods IVIG (Venoglobulin IH 5%, Japan Blood Products Organization, 0.4g/kg) injection was performed twice before and after 1 week of GWL. We divided 164 patients into IVIG group and non-IVIG group by their own choice. The primary outcome was live birth rate, and the secondary outcome was modified live birth rate excluding pregnancies with abnormal fetal karyotype, maternal and neonatal complications. All participants provided written informed consent, and Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. Main results and the role of chance IVIG group (n = 116) and non-IVIG group (n = 48) showed no significant differences in the background of patients on BMI (20.3±3.7 and 21.1±2.8), age (37.4±4.2 and 36.7±3.2) and Childbirth history (20.7% and 23.0%), respectively (average±SD), except for the history of past miscarriages. Average numbers of previous miscarriages on IVIG group and non-IVIG group were 3.2±1.3 and 2.5±0.8 (p < 0.001), respectively. After multivariate analysis for BMI, age, Childbirth history and previous miscarriages, live birth rate of IVIG group (70.7%, 82/116) was significantly higher than that of non-IVIG group (60.4%, 29/48; Odds ratio 3.40, 95% CI: 1.49-7.74, p = 0.003). Similarly, modified live birth rate of IVIG group (73.9%, 82/111) was significantly higher than that of non-IVIG group (63.0%, 29/46; Odds ratio 3.40, 95% CI: 1.49-7.74, p = 0.003). Treatment outcomes when IVIG was used for each number of previous miscarriages, the modified birth rate was 88.3% for two times miscarriages, 77.0% for three times, and 57.1% for four or more miscarriages. Maternal complications were observed in 2 cases in IVIG group (chest tightness, obstetric critical bleeding). There were no significant differences in the birth weight, gestational weeks, preterm birth, or fetal growth restriction of newborns between two groups. Limitations, reasons for caution Since retrospective nature and we did not perform POC tests for all patients whose pregnancies had ended in miscarriage, we could not assert the effectiveness of IVIG. We need to conduct randomized controlled trial using placebo group to demonstrate the IVIG efficacy before and after the GWL using euploid blastocysts. Wider implications of the findings IVIG before and after the GWL adjusted for each patient may improve pregnancy outcomes in RPL patients. Although IVIG is expensive, the current method requires only two IVIG injections, that may be acceptable for much more patients who want to avoid miscarriages and who didn’t use IVIG for economic reasons.

Chapter 4. Locating field systems in the southern Peruvian Andes

AbstractIn this paper, we review current understandings of anthropogenic field systems, focusing on trends and variations in the chronology of field construction, use, and in some cases, abandonment, as well as labor organization of agrarian production across the Lake Titicaca Basin. These trends indicate that agricultural intensification increased both during the political centralization of the Tiwanaku state and during periods of political fragmentation. In contrast to prior work on fields in the region, we argue that there was no single cultural, environmental, or historical impetus that ignited the construction of any particular field type. Additionally, we present the results of pedestrian survey of terraces carried out in 2018 in the northern Lake Titicaca Basin. While there were regional commonalities across survey areas in the masonry design of terrace risers, presence of pathways and radiating walls separating vertical tracts of terraces, and a general absence of irrigation, we found deviations from each of these trends in individual terrace complexes. While preliminary evidence indicates that more terraces were built or cultivated during the Late Intermediate period (1100–1450 CE) than in other time periods in the northern Titicaca basin, some terraces were likely built earlier. Our findings point to the multiplicity of strategies that ancient farmers employed in the varied ecological settings of the Lake Titicaca basin under diverse sociopolitical programs. This contrasts with previous research on agrarian field systems, which is mostly single‐sited and tends to emphasize individual strategies over the quiver of agrarian options available to Andean farmers.

Features and Perspectives of the Market of Information and Communication Technologies’ Functioning in Data-Driven Society

The article is intended to define the conceptual prospects for the development of the information and communication technologies market in a data-driven society. According to the results of the study, it was established that the implementation of innovative technological startups for the reorganization of information and communication networks using modern switching equipment, characterized by high performance, remains a relevant and global task for the development of the target market. This will provide potential opportunities for providing a high level of service to several numbering zones at once and maintaining the availability of a wide range of information and communication services in the modern conditions of digitalization of society. It was determined that the sphere of communication and information occupies an important place in the economic and social revival of Ukraine. Broad access to significant amounts of information and database management ensures the efficiency of organization and management of state, production and non-production processes of economic activity, thereby expanding the possibilities of successful business, optimizing costs and ensuring a high level of economic and information security of the business entities. The information and telecommunications market were analyzed and the activity of participating operators was diagnosed. It has been studied that in a data-driven society, the success of achieving goals in the digital development of information and communication enterprises directly depends on global information influence. A significant reduction in the number of telecommunications operators and providers was analyzed. It was determined that small operators of the target market are not able to ensure the appropriate level of quality, availability and continuity of service, in connection with which a significant part of the target audience switches to the services of large providers. Based on the analysis of the main indicators of the development of the information and communication technologies market, the main promising directions of development based on the formation of income from a diverse pool of services are determined.

THE BABYNSKA SUITE TUFFS OF THE CONTINENTAL FLOOD BASALTS OF WESTERN VOLYN: MINERALOGY, PETROGRAPHY, PETROCHEMISTRY, GENETIC AND APPLIED SIGNIFICANCE

According to the data of comprehensive precision research, the spatial distribution and mineral composition were revealed, the petrographic and petrochemical features, and the genetic and practical significance of the Babynska effusive-pyroclastic suite tuffs of the continental flood basalts of Western Volyn were clarified in connection with the copper content. The thicknesses and hypsometry of the relief of the paleosurface of the pyroclastic formations of the Babynska suite were analyzed and the important elements of its vertical and lateral structure (by area) were clarified, the real picture of which is reflected in the constructed maps of the thicknesses and relief of the paleosurface of the pyroclastic formations of the suite, in particular, on the Ratnе–-Kamin-Kashyrsk Area. The formation of the Babynska suite tuffs in the regime of gravitational deposition of pyroclastic material with the accumulation of tuff deposits at the stage of incomplete solidification of volcanic material and the formation of coarse, non-rhythmic layering, without clear signs of redeposition, i.e. of volcanomictіс origin, has been proven. Differences in the mineral composition and petrochemistry of tuffs of different colors: gray-green and red-brown were found. Emphasis is placed on the enrichment of native copper in tuffs of gray-green color and possible explanations for this correlation are proposed. The obtained results from a genetic point of view provide important information for paleovolcanogenic and paleogeographical reconstructions, in practical terms they contribute to the improvement of the copper bearing prospects of volcanogenic layers of the continental flood basalts and can be proposed for use by production organizations of the geological profile.

INTERNAL FACTORS FORMING COMPETITIVE POTENTIAL OF SMALL ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION ENTERPRISES: SYSTEMATISATION, ADAPTATION, UNIVERSALISATION

Internal factors play a decisive role in the formation of the competitive potential of small enterprises in the field of architecture and construction. The comprehensive approach adopted in this study involves analysing and improving the following internal factors: business strategy; efficiency of the business management system and methods; innovation and investment potential; level of production organisation; planning system; system of economic, social and psychological incentives; intellectual and labour potential; corporate culture. In particular, the study identifies the following qualitative characteristics and impact of internal factors on the level of competitiveness of small architectural and construction enterprises. The systematisation of internal factors contributes to the identification of the most important elements that have an impact on a company’s successful strategy. In this way, enterprises can better focus their efforts and resources on the achievement of their strategic goals. An important component of a company’s competitiveness is the effectiveness of its management system. A company can increase its productivity and efficiency in managing resources by analysing and improving this system. The ability to innovate and invest is also important in running a successful business. Innovation helps to maintain a competitive advantage by enabling a company to introduce new technologies and develop its products. In order to increase productivity, the organisation of production requires the systematisation and optimisation of processes. A clear definition of roles and responsibilities, the rational use of resources and quality assurance contribute to a company’s success. Planning is important for developing the business and achieving its goals. Managers can make informed decisions and successfully manage their business through a clear definition of goals, strategies and plans. The system of economic, social and psychological incentives used to motivate employees affects productivity. The provision of an appropriate incentive system is an important factor in the recruitment and retention of talented employees. Intellectual and labour potential are indisputable assets of an organisation. Ensuring the sustainability and future prospects of the company by investing in human resource development, skills and knowledge of employees.
