Challenges and strategies in the preservation of historical and audiovisual archives

The conservation of historical and audiovisual archives is essential for preserving cultural heritage, collective memory, and national identity. These archives—comprising documents, photographs, films, videos, and other materials—serve as critical records of historical events, cultural traditions, and social practices. However, preserving such materials is fraught with challenges, including physical and chemical degradation caused by factors like humidity, temperature, light, and improper handling. Moreover, technological obsolescence poses a significant risk to digital media. To address these issues, conservation efforts must include both the restoration of damaged materials and preventive measures to mitigate future deterioration. This involves not only restoring old photographs and repairing films but also digitizing documents and creating controlled storage environments. Digital conservation, including the migration of obsolete formats to current technologies, is crucial for the longevity of audiovisual materials. Studies highlight various challenges faced in audiovisual preservation. Rasaki et al. (2023) identified obstacles such as technological obsolescence, inadequate storage conditions, lack of funding, insufficient management commitment, and a shortage of trained personnel in a Nigerian university library. Muhammad (2019) further pointed out systemic issues, including the absence of a national preservation policy and undervaluation of audiovisual materials. Evens and Hauttekeete (2011) discussed challenges in digital preservation, noting that underdeveloped policies leave archives vulnerable to deterioration and technological obsolescence. Baker (2021) documented a significant upgrade at the University of Kansas Libraries, showcasing the expansion of conservation facilities and the creation of specialized spaces for audiovisual preservation. Effective preservation requires a collective effort that includes governments, cultural institutions, and public education. Comprehensive preventive measures—such as managing environmental conditions, regulating light exposure, and protecting collections from pollutants and threats—are essential to ensure the accessibility and preservation of valuable cultural heritage for future generations.

Outsource processing under staff shortage

During the war, Ukraine has faced nume­rous challenges, one of the most threatening of which is the personnel shortage. The full-scale war caused large-scale labor migration, a signi­ficant number of the able-bodied population was mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this became an important factor that led to a shortage of qualified workers. For many economic entities, this situation becomes critical and requires immediate and effective solutions to ensure stable work. One such solu­tion is outsourced processing which is the trans­fer of certain business processes to external companies that have the necessary resources and expertise. Insufficient research on out­sourcing causes a low level of business aware­ness of its strategic effectiveness. It is hypo­thesized that the use of outsourced process­sing is an effective adaptive solution to overcome the personnel shortage in the war in Ukraine, which will enable business entities to optimize costs, ensure continuity and flexibility of activity, and attract highly qualified specialists. The research was carried out using the methods of analysis, comparison, systematization, empirical studies and case studies, as well as horizon scanning and logical modeling. The challenges of outsour­ced processing in the conditions of war are analyzed, examples of its successful application in conditions of personnel shortage are provi­ded. The conducted studies form scientifically based approaches to determining the directions of integration of outsourced processing in the activities of business entities. The concept of outsourced processing is based on the quality selection of the outsourcer and its establishment of effective partnership relations; creates advantages in innovativeness and flexibility of business; creates conditions for optimizing time, effort and resources; makes it possible to attract the physical and intellectual potential of external companies, in particular to cover the shortage of personnel

International experience of partnership of private companies and special services in the interests of national security and its significance for Ukraine

The article is devoted to topical issues of national security. Its purpose is to justify the need to review approaches to the partnership of special services of Ukraine and private companies. The current state of threats to national security from the aggressor country is characterized within the scope of scientific research. Attention was drawn to the fact that after the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, there were changes in the security paradigm and approaches to national security and the world system as a whole, and the need, in this connection, to find additional resources to counter the Russian Federation, to develop new effective models of organizing the activities of national special services by involving the potential and resources of non-state institutions in this activity. It was established that the effective partnership of special services and private enterprises in the interests of national security is a stable international practice, and in some cases, the only means of increasing the effectiveness of special services in conditions of shortage of personnel and resources, which meets the requirements of international and national legislation. The international experience of such a partnership is characterized using the examples of the “Griffin”, “ECSA – CERBERUS”, “ProtectUK” projects, as well as the activities of private intelligence and security companies. Prospective directions for strengthening the capabilities of Ukraine’s special services through partnership with private enterprises and their security structures are highlighted, including: creation of security platforms (educational and informational and communicative in nature); obtaining operationally significant information in the interests of ensuring state security both in the country and abroad, including its processing; assistance in the use of existing and development of new software products for the search and identification of persons who pose a threat to the state security of Ukraine, the recording of their criminal activities, etc.; carrying out analytical studies, summarizing a large array of data in the interests of national security; personnel training for work in modern conditions, including using the latest technologies. The need for clear legal regulation of the rights and obligations of the parties to such a partnership is emphasized.

Availability of Evidence for Predictive Machine Learning Algorithms in Primary Care

The aging and multimorbid population and health personnel shortages pose a substantial burden on primary health care. While predictive machine learning (ML) algorithms have the potential to address these challenges, concerns include transparency and insufficient reporting of model validation and effectiveness of the implementation in the clinical workflow. To systematically identify predictive ML algorithms implemented in primary care from peer-reviewed literature and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Conformité Européene (CE) registration databases and to ascertain the public availability of evidence, including peer-reviewed literature, gray literature, and technical reports across the artificial intelligence (AI) life cycle. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Emcare, Academic Search Premier, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, MathSciNet, AAAI.org (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence), arXiv, Epistemonikos, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published between January 2000 and July 2023, with search terms that were related to AI, primary care, and implementation. The search extended to CE-marked or FDA-approved predictive ML algorithms obtained from relevant registration databases. Three reviewers gathered subsequent evidence involving strategies such as product searches, exploration of references, manufacturer website visits, and direct inquiries to authors and product owners. The extent to which the evidence for each predictive ML algorithm aligned with the Dutch AI predictive algorithm (AIPA) guideline requirements was assessed per AI life cycle phase, producing evidence availability scores. The systematic search identified 43 predictive ML algorithms, of which 25 were commercially available and CE-marked or FDA-approved. The predictive ML algorithms spanned multiple clinical domains, but most (27 [63%]) focused on cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Most (35 [81%]) were published within the past 5 years. The availability of evidence varied across different phases of the predictive ML algorithm life cycle, with evidence being reported the least for phase 1 (preparation) and phase 5 (impact assessment) (19% and 30%, respectively). Twelve (28%) predictive ML algorithms achieved approximately half of their maximum individual evidence availability score. Overall, predictive ML algorithms from peer-reviewed literature showed higher evidence availability compared with those from FDA-approved or CE-marked databases (45% vs 29%). The findings indicate an urgent need to improve the availability of evidence regarding the predictive ML algorithms' quality criteria. Adopting the Dutch AIPA guideline could facilitate transparent and consistent reporting of the quality criteria that could foster trust among end users and facilitating large-scale implementation.

Experience of Nurses in Carrying Out the Main Duties and Functions of Nurses at UPT Puskesmas Panamas, Kapuas Regency, in 2023 / 2024

This research explores the experiences of nurses in carrying out their main duties and functions at the Panamas Community Health Center. Qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach are used to gain an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 12 nurses selected by purposive sampling. Data analysis using the Colaizzi method produced five main themes: (1) Nurses' activities in health services, (2) Tasks carried out by community health center nurses, (3) The importance of good health program management, (4) Management of duties and authority in health services, and (5) Shortage of health and non-health personnel and multifunctionality in health services. Research results show that nurses often have to take over the roles of doctors, administrative staff, and pharmacists due to limited human resources even though these tasks should not be their responsibility. This causes nurses to lose focus in carrying out their main duties, nurses feel that their main role as care providers is disturbed. Nurses also run various health programs and serve as physician assistants, although these roles often exceed their duties. The importance of good health program management was emphasized, as many participants experienced difficulties in achieving targets, reporting and patient monitoring. Management of tasks and authority includes handover of tasks, delegation of daily tasks, and delegation of authority, however socialization to staff has not been comprehensive. Lack of human resources causes nurses to carry out multiple roles which hinders their professional development. This research recommends strengthening competency and further training for nurses, increasing legal awareness regarding the delegation of authority, integrating health management education in the nursing curriculum, as well as increasing the number and qualifications of human resources in community health centers.

The practical recommendations to resolve mentioned problems are proposed.

Transformation of behavioral attitudes of young people in the labor and employment market: the impact of the pandemic and workers' reassessment of their freedoms

The purpose of the work is to analyze the state and structure of the labor market using the example of the category of young professionals, to identify the main trends that have formed in recent years, after the end of the pandemic and with the beginning of a special military operation, to assess how the labor attitudes of employees have changed. Research methods: secondary analysis of the results of sociological research conducted by various research centers and recruiting agencies on remote employment, changing employee behavioral attitudes and changes in the labor market and employment. The article reveals some characteristic changes in the structure of the labor market and employment due to the transition to remote employment as part of quarantine measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, generational change, as well as the reassessment of their rights and freedoms by employees of organizations. The interrelation of the growing interest in remote employment of the younger generation under the age of 25 has been revealed for a number of interrelated reasons: Internet and information technology, remote employment, stability in life and great dependence on parents, a growing standard of living and the associated increase in self-esteem. Demographic problems and, as a result, a shortage of labor, partly related to the withdrawal of a huge proportion of the able-bodied population to the defense sector, the lack of competitive salaries leads to the fact that employers will have to adapt to new realities and rebuild their thinking, including for the younger generation, in order to fill the personnel deficit. The transition to hybrid work formats using remote employment allows us to solve both the problems of personnel shortage and to interest young workers who prefer remote employment and free working to other methods of non-material incentives.

The characteristic of medical personnel resources in the state health care system of the Region

The indicator of provision with medical personnel under primary health care support significantly varies in Subjects of the Russian Federation. This indicator is affected by such territorial characteristics as long distance of territory, poor transport accessibility, low population density, migration processes. The purpose of the study is to analyze indicators of medical personnel resources in state health care system of the Transbaikal Krai. The sources of information were data from forms of Federal statistical monitoring № 30 "Information on the medical organization" of the Krai medical organizations in 2018-2022. The span diagram was made for levels of provision with physicians over 5 year period in regions of the Krai. The cluster analysis was applied to classify municipalities according to level and dynamics of indicators of provision with physicians. It is established that indicators of provision of district therapists and district pediatricians in the Transbaikal Krai remain below similar ones in the Far Eastern Federal Okrug and the Russian Federation. The making of span diagram demonstrated significant difference in indicators of provision with mentioned specialists in municipalities of the Krai over 5 year period that testifies instability of medical personnel situation in districts of the Krai. The maximal indicators of provision in certain regions are conditioned by higher wages and location of medical organizations in the Krai center. The shortage in medical personnel of primary health care is marked in the Krai. In order to implement tasks of overcoming medical personnel shortage, disproportions in structure of medical personnel, uneven territorial distribution of medical specialists in the Krai it is necessary to improve mechanisms of human resources planning.

Experiences of Midwestern obstetric clinicians during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic

BackgroundThe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to healthcare system changes aimed at minimizing disease transmission that impacted experiences with obstetric healthcare. ObjectiveTo explore experiences of clinicians providing obstetric care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study DesignQualitative, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five nurse practitioners and 16 obstetrical physicians providing a mix of outpatient and inpatient obstetric care during the COVID-19 pandemic in a mid-sized, Midwestern city in the United States. Interviews elucidated challenges and facilitators of obstetric care provision and vaccination of pregnant patients against COVID-19 during the pandemic. Transcripts were coded inductively then deductively using the Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF), which integrates a disparities framework and implementation framework to highlight multilevel factors that influence obstetric care. Thematic analysis was conducted, and thematic saturation was reached. ResultsWe interviewed 21 clinicians. Clinicians recounted personal challenges such as social isolation and burnout that could be countered by social support. Challenges within the clinical encounter included implementation of infection mitigation efforts, vaccine counseling, and limitations of telehealth. However, when successfully implemented, telehealth facilitated care and circumvented barriers. Clinicians cited challenges at the healthcare system level such as rapidly evolving knowledge and recommendations, restrictive visitor policies, personnel shortage, and inadequate institutional resources to support pandemic-related stressors. However, interdisciplinary care and guidelines available for clinicians facilitated care. Clinicians reported that challenges at the societal level included financial strain, lack of childcare, medical mistrust, politicization of medicine, misinformation, and racism. Societal-level facilitators included insurance access, community outreach, positive policy changes, and fostering trust in medicine. ConclusionThe pandemic produced unique stressors and exacerbated existing challenges for clinicians providing obstetric care. Applying the HEIF to the findings emphasizes the influence of societal factors on all other levels. Identified facilitators can inform interventions to address stressors in obstetric care that have resulted from the changed sociopolitical landscape of the pandemic.

교정간호의 실태와 개선방안에 관한 연구

Correctional medical personnel in prisons are recognized as workplaces that do not want to work due to low wages, insufficient medical facilities at the clinic level, and stigma of hate facilities, and are always insufficient from the past to the present. The lack of correctional medical personnel can negatively affect the treatment of inmates and lead to poor quality of medical services. In particular, orthodontists do medical treatment unrelated to their major, so the recipients do not trust the orthodontists' treatment and want video or external treatment. However, video or external treatment must be performed at a designated time with cooperative hospitals on an appointment date, so inmates may not be able to receive timely treatment. The lack of correctional medical personnel is causing an excess of work because correctional nurses have to take over for work. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to present practical and effective alternatives to expanding medical personnel. The scope of the study is to understand the actual state of prison correctional medical care based on previous studies, correctional statistics, and Internet data, and to derive various problems through this to find countermeasures. The countermeasure is to provide concrete and practical alternatives so that it can contribute to the expansion of correctional medical personnel. As a result of the study, in order to solve the shortage of orthodontic medical personnel, AI doctors and pharmacists are introduced and operated in the medical department of orthodontic facilities. Another option is to first introduce a traveling pharmacist system for orthodontic pharmacists, so that one orthodontic pharmacist is in charge of three to four correctional facilities. Next, rather than hiring correctional doctors only, correctional facilities with many elderly inmates are also hired and operated by oriental doctors. Finally, in order to hire excellent orthodontic nurses, it is necessary to allow correction facilities and schools to cooperate to conduct nursing practice in the medical department of orthodontic facilities so that they can understand and publicize the specificity of correction so that they can provide a lot of support when hiring.

From the analysis of these surveys, employee retention has been highlighted as a priority in the face of a growing personnel deficit caused by demographic issues, the emigration of qualified specialists, and an aging population. The article also identifies specific characteristics of young professionals from Generations Y and Z, who make up a significant part of the workforce in today’s labor market. This necessitates the development and application of new approaches to employee retention to ensure organizational competitiveness. The concept of a candidate-driven market, which characterizes the labor market in most sectors of the modern economy in Russia, is explained in the article. Key factors contributing to staff turnover and employee satisfaction are highlighted, underscoring the need to develop comprehensive recommendations for staff retention that consider both macro- and microlevels of organizational management. Based on the analysis conducted, the article proposes tools for employee retention that can be utilized by modern Russian companies in the context of an existing and intensifying shortage of personnel. The recommendations emphasize a humanistic approach to personnel management, as it focuses on the well-being and needs of employees. This approach recognizes the significance of each individual within the organization, emphasizing respect, honesty, and fairness in interactions. A humanistic approach fosters a trusting and supportive work environment where employees can realize their potential and feel valued. Thus, it not only enhances employee satisfaction and loyalty and reduces staff turnover but also contributes to improving overall productivity and efficiency within the organization.

The results obtained in the course of the research allow us to ascertain the significant impact on the activities of economic entities of modern challenges and dangers, which cause significant destructive changes in the labour resource management system of enterprises as a result of the threatening increase in the scale of forced labour migration, which exacerbates the shortage of personnel at domestic enterprises. and through the intensification of mobilization measures, which cause the movement of the economically active and highly qualified labour force to the structures of the defence forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article analyzes the essence, features and interrelationship of the anti-crisis management of the personnel potential of the enterprise with the processes of forced labour migration of the population. It has been established that forced labour migration is a destabilizing factor in enterprise activity and creates prerequisites for the emergence of crisis situations. It has been proven that forced labour migration has a significant negative impact on the formation of labour resources of domestic enterprises, which causes a shortage of highly qualified workers. It was found that the processes of forced labour migration within the regions continue to intensify in Ukraine. In order to overcome crisis situations at the enterprise regarding the management of personnel potential, the most appropriate measures are proposed and substantiated. The model of anti-crisis management of the personnel potential of the enterprise in the conditions of strengthening the processes of forced labour migration of the population is substantiated and proposed.

Інноваційні рішення як джерело розвитку агробізнесу

The article examines the role and prerequisites for using innovative solutions to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of modern agribusiness. The article examines the role and prerequisites for using innovative technologies to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of modern agribusiness. Searching for scientific and practical solutions focuses on analyzing current trends, opportunities, and challenges associated with implementing innovative solutions in agribusiness. It is highlighted that global trends in the development of critical economic factors (labor, capital, technology) create both new opportunities and threats for the development of companies. It is substantiated that the reduction of working-age people threatens the development of rural areas and the provision of agricultural enterprises with labor. It is proved that most of the labor processes carried out in agricultural companies today require manual skills. The current trends in labor shortages in agricultural companies are highlighted, which is compensated for by the growth of labor productivity, but its level, due to the relatively low provision of enterprises with material and technical resources, still does not allow organizing agricultural business at the level corresponding to the leading countries. During the study, the methodology of theoretical generalization, as well as analysis and synthesis, was used, which allowed us to deepen and structure the understanding of the transformative potential of innovative technologies in agriculture at the present stage of development of innovative technologies. It has been found that innovative technologies play a crucial role in increasing the efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability of agribusiness by optimizing production, and improving the transparency and traceability of operations and processes. Keywords: innovative technologies, agribusiness, agriculture, agricultural production, shortage of personnel, threat of unemployment, labour processes, introduction of innovations, efficiency, competitiveness.

Туристичний ринок України в часи війни: проблеми, загрози, можливості

The article examines the impact of war on Ukraine's tourism market due to globalization and integration processes. The article discusses in detail the problems and opportunities that arise in the context of modern challenges. In Ukraine, where hostilities continue, the tourism industry has faced unprecedented challenges, which have resulted in a significant drop in arrivals and a reduction in domestic tourist flows. The tourism industry has also a ban on air transportation, the closure of many tourist and hotel enterprises, the destruction or transformation of hotels into temporary shelters, personnel shortages, and a general decrease in income from tourism. Because of these aspects, investigating the challenges in Ukraine's tourism market is relevant and necessary to determine effective strategies for the industry's development. These strategies should further contribute to the economic growth and social welfare of the country. The article presents the results of surveys that demonstrate the accessibility of travel for domestic tourists and their motivation. The main reasons for refusing to travel are security and economic factors. Ukrainians prefer seasonal summer vacations in cities and hiking. Priority is given to event, gastronomic, active, and ecological tourism. The impact of hostilities has also resulted in some adaptation and search for new opportunities for the tourism industry. New tourist destinations, such as military tourism and "memory tourism," began to develop actively in Ukraine. Developing such tourism as agritourism and cultural and historical tourism in safe regions, can help to diversify the tourist offer and reduce the economic impact of a decrease in international tourist flow. It also contributes to the development of local economies and the creation of new jobs, which is critical in crisis. It is recommended to strengthen efforts in the field of international PR to improve Ukraine's image in the world. This includes participation in international tourism exhibitions, online marketing campaigns, and cooperation with international leaders of thoughts who can change the perception of Ukraine as a tourist destination. Tourism operators and local authorities should work together to develop and implement emergency response plans that will help them quickly adapt to changes in the security situation. Implementing these strategies will require strong coordination among all stakeholders, including government, the private sector, and international partners.

INNOVATIVE BUSINESS MODELS IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ADAPTATION OPPORTUNITIES IN UKRAINE

In today's globalization and acceleration of technological changes, the agricultural sector is becoming an important platform for implementing innovative business models. Innovation is a key factor in increasing production efficiency, improving product quality, and reducing the negative impact on the environment. International experience, particularly the experience of the United States of America (hereinafter—the USA) and the European Union (hereinafter—the EU), demonstrates significant success in using innovations in the agro-industrial complex. However, the issue of adapting these models to Ukraine's conditions remains open and requires a thorough analysis. The article is devoted to considering the international experience of innovative business models in the agricultural sector and the possibility of its adaptation in Ukraine. It was determined that adapting innovative business models in Ukraine's agricultural sector is a critically important step toward increasing Ukrainian agriculture's competitiveness on the world stage. Business models in the agrarian sector of successful innovative international practices of the EU and the USA were analyzed to adapt them to Ukrainian conditions. It has been established that Ukraine has significant potential for implementing innovative business models thanks to its natural resources and agricultural traditions. However, certain factors must be considered for their successful adaptation, such as infrastructural challenges, financial support and investments, human resources, legal regulation and policy, and circular economy. It's been demonstrated that the introduction of international experience and technologies can optimize production, reduce costs, and enhance resilience to economic challenges. However, to successfully implement these models, it's crucial to address several internal barriers, such as imperfect infrastructure, insufficient investment, and a shortage of qualified personnel. Overcoming these barriers is a key step towards the successful adoption of innovative business models in the agricultural sector. Attention was focused on the broad prospects for introducing innovations. Ukraine has every chance to become a leader in the region by using modern business models in the agricultural sector.

Effectiveness of men in maternity health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health care to improve maternal health outcomes in Naypyitaw, Myanmar

Background Maternal health care (MHC) is critical for safe motherhood and preventing maternal deaths in Myanmar, but the institutional delivery rates are not yet optimal, increasing preventable maternal deaths. To address this issue, involving men in supporting MHC has been recognized as a strategy to improve MHC outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility of men in maternity health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in MHC and its influence on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to maternal health and institutional delivery rates in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. Methods This study employed a mixed-methods approach with quantitative surveying of the male partners and qualitative interviewing of both male and female partners and health stakeholders. A 6-month MiM education program on pregnancy complications, antenatal care, delivery care, and birth preparedness was provided to the intervention group. Before and after the intervention, comparisons between intervention and control groups were made. Results The socio-demographic characteristics of male partners were comparable between the intervention and control groups during the pre-intervention assessment. Before MiM intervention, notable differences in male partners’ knowledge, attitudes, birth preparedness and complication readiness practices regarding MHC were not evident between these two groups. After completing the MiM, significant score improvement, including higher ID rates compared to the control group (p<0.001), was observed. The acceptability and feasibility of the MiM program were contributed by positive responses from qualitative findings, highlighting remarkable changes in the perspectives of male partners in supporting MHC. However, challenges, including financial limitations, cultural influences and a shortage of trained personnel, were encountered. Conclusion The MiM program effectively promotes male involvement in MHC, leading to improved MHC outcomes. The MiM intervention offers a promising, evidence-based model to enhance ID rates in Myanmar, requiring tailored approaches to address cultural and financial factors.
