The process of dangerous event management taking into account economic, environmental and occupational losses

Aim of the research is in risk management process development of a dangerous event taking into account economic, environmental and professional losses.Materials and methods. To develop the process of risks management from various dangers through the integration of their losses (economic, environmental, life and health of employees), we take the most common model "bow tie", which allows to establish a cause and effect relationship between danger – a dangerous event and the severity of the consequences.Results. As a result of the research, it was found that each hazard must be considered based on three different types of damage. This makes it possible to implement another mechanism for identifying the most significant dangerous factors that lead to significant general economic losses. In the case of risk acceptability from each individual dangerous factor, there is an additional opportunity to analyze them based on the relationship between financial activity, economic and professional losses. The second consists in determining the limits of the acceptability of risks, which are formed not only based on the total acceptable economic losses, but also taking into account the stability of the enterprise's work. This implies the need to actively invest in new technologies based on short-term and long-term perspectives. The main types of dangers are defined in the risk register, which is developed by the organization to determine the integration of dangers consisting of natural, technogenic, environmental, occupational and economic groups of dangers and dangerous factors. The authors develop the model and algorithm of risk management based on the combination of different consequences of dangers in economic, environmental character, life loss and health.Scientific relevance. The article determines the relationship between the probability of a dangerous event and the severity of different types of consequences – economic, environmental and occupational dangers through the analysis of Euler-Venn diagrams.Practical relevance. The authors develop the basic principles of risk management of different types of losses: economic, environmental ones, loss of life and health of employees.

Revisiting the effect of information and communication technologies on employment growth in Ghana: The role of enterprise formality

The employment effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) on firm performance remains a critical topic for policy and academic research. However, our understanding of the ICT-employment growth relationship in both informal and formal sectors in developing countries remains limited. Based on repeated cross-sectional data collected in 2013 and 2015 on 483 Ghanaian manufacturing enterprises and estimating a Feasible Generalised Least Squares (FGLS) regression model, the findings show that access to the internet leads to employment growth in enterprises, while the adoption of mobile phone technologies reduces the number of workers in enterprises. The positive effect of internet access on employment growth tends to be greater in enterprises with a higher degree of formality, while informal enterprises appear to remain small in terms of employment by using internet technology. We discuss these findings and their implications for digital technology policy in developing countries.

MMP1 and SOD2 genes polymorphism in occupational diseases pathogenesis in workers of mining and processing enterprises

Introduction. Vibration disease (VD) is occupational disease that develops with prolonged exposure to industrial vibration. VD is one of the most common occupational pathologies. This disease is characterized by pathogenetic mechanisms complexity, polymorphic symptoms, chronic course, therapeutic resistance, and often leads to disability of patients. As a rule, changes in the cardiovascular and nervous systems, musculoskeletal system and metabolic processes are observed with VD. The aim of study was to find associations of polymorphic variants rs1799750 of MMP1 and rs4880 of SOD2 genes with vibration disease. Materials and methods. 73 people with various forms of VB were examined. The control group consisted of 73 people who were not exposed to vibration in their professional activities. The distribution of polymorphic loci rs1799750 of MMP1 gene and rs4880 of SOD2 gene was studied. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistica v.21 and Microsoft Excel software packages. Results. It was revealed that *d allele of rs1799750 of MMP1 gene associated with VD (p=0.046), but its frequency is lower among VD patients with sensorineural hearing loss compared to VD patients without this syndrome (p=0.035). The frequency of *T/*T genotype and the *T allele of rs4880 is increased among patients with peripheral angiodystonic syndrome of VD. Limitations. The limitations of this work include the small sample size and the fact that the study participants from the control sample work at a different enterprise, which does not allow us to exclude the influence of other environmental factors, but allows us to consider them as a reference population. Conclusion. Thus, we were unable to identify a direct association of the studied genotypes with VD, but the association with peripheral angiodystonic syndrome suggests that these polymorphisms affect the pathogenesis of VD.

Features of the immune profile of workers of a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise in conditions of contamination of biological media with rare earth elements (using the example of thulium)

Introduction. The active use of rare earth elements, including thulium (Tm), in various technological processes increases the risks of health problems associated with the professional activities of the employee. The purpose of the study is to study the characteristics of the immune profile of workers at a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise under conditions of contamination of biological media with rare earth elements (using the example of thulium). Materials and methods. 35 employees of a non-ferrous metallurgy enterprise were examined. The comparison group consisted of workers with the level of thulium concentration in the blood within the reference interval (n=17), the observation group — workers whose blood thulium content was 2 times higher than the upper limit of the reference values (n=18). The content of thulium in biological media (blood) was studied using mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. Flow cytometry was used to detect Annexin V-FITC+7AAD+-lymphocytes (late apoptosis/necrosis), enzyme immunoassay — IL6, TNF, general IgE, allergosorbent — specific IgG to lanthanides. Results. It was found that the workers in the observation group had a 2.3-fold increase in the content of total IgE and a 2.0-fold increase in the expression of specific IgG to lanthanides in relation to the results of the comparison group (p<0.05). It was found that with an excess thulium content in the blood, there is an inhibition of cell death by 15% relative to the values of the comparison group. Limitations of the study. Limitations of the study relate to the limited sample size. Ethics. The study protocol was approved by the Biomedical Ethics Committee of the local ethical committee of the Federal Budgetary Institution "FSC MPT URZN" No. 2 dated March 22, 2023. The study was carried out in accordance with the requirements set out in the WMA Declaration of Helsinki "Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects" (1964, 2013). Voluntary informed consent to participate in the study and use of personal data was signed by all participants.

Regarding the influence of national factors on the biotic component of the enterprise's material backpack formation

Relevance of research. Sustainable Development Goal No. 12 refers to reducing the resource intensity of the economy by reducing the costs of material input in production chains. The famous German scientist Friedrich Schmidt-Blick proposed the concept of an ecological backpack as a characteristic of hidden material flows accompanying the entire life cycle of a product. A separate component of the backpack is the biotic part, which was heavy enough when, for example, horse traction was used in old mines. Food self-satisfaction of the staff based on the salary led to the fact that the consumption of food in the production process remained outside the analysis of the company's material flows. The purpose of the study is to prove/refute the validity of the hypothesis regarding the significant dependence of the biotic component of the material backpack on national traditions and the material income of workers of industrial enterprises. Research methods: mathematical statistics. The basis of research is long-term observation of food consumption in Ukraine and abroad, in particular, Poland and China. Main results. In the course of research, certain traditions characteristic of Ukrainian realities were revealed: consumption of food products by the average Ukrainian with a probability of 0.95 is 58.75±0.04 kg per month (698±0.5 kg per year); the structure of the consumer basket in Ukraine contains 33% – milk and dairy products, 15% – vegetables; 14% – bakery products and cereals, 11% – potatoes, 8% – meat and meat products; the average person in Ukraine consumes more food than recommended by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (by approximately 5%); residents of rural areas consume more food than urban residents (by almost 6% – 57.9 kg per month versus 54.7 kg). It has been statistically proven that the annual volume of food consumption by residents of Ukraine (689 kg) is significantly greater than that of residents of Poland (456 kg) and, even more so, China (413 kg). National differences concerning food preferences have been revealed. Quantitative differences in the national consumption of food products by producers determine the different content of the material backpack of industrial products, which provides certain competitive advantages/disadvantages to the subjects of international market activity. In addition to the national traditions of food consumption, there are laws that determine the influence of the average per capita household equivalent total income on the weight of the food basket. On the basis of official statistical data, a mathematical dependence of the logarithmic form of the amount of food consumption on the average per capita income of a household member is proposed.

The impact of techno complexity on work performance through emotional exhaustion

Technology has become an integral part of work life, providing significant benefits for increasing productivity and competitiveness. However, the use of technology also carries risks, especially in the form of technostress, namely, the stress that arises from using technology. This study aimed to investigate the impact of technological complexity as a technostress trigger on work performance among employees in micro, small, and medium enterprises in Semarang, Indonesia, with emotional exhaustion as a potential mediator. The sample for this study consisted of 315 micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise workers in various sectors. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using structural equation modeling and partial least squares. The research results show that technological complexity negatively affects emotional exhaustion, but does not significantly affect work performance. By contrast, emotional exhaustion negatively influenced work performance. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the mediation of emotional exhaustion between technological complexity and workplace performance. These findings emphasize the importance of considering additional factors beyond techno complexity in shaping work performance as well as the importance of organizational support in mitigating the negative impact of techno complexity on employee well-being and performance in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of neck work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among automobile manufacturing enterprise workers, and construct the risk prediction model. Methods: In May 2022, a cluster convenience sampling method was used to selet all front-line workers from an automobile manufacturing factory in Xiangyang City as the research objects. And a questionnaire survey was conducted using the modified Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire to analyze the occurrence and exposure to risk factors of neck WMSDs. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of workers' neck WMSDs symptoms, and Nomogram column charts was used to construct the risk prediction model. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Bootstrap resampling method was used to verify the model, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the model, and the Calibration curve was drawn. Results: A total of 1783 workers were surveyed, and the incidence of neck WMSDs symptoms was 24.8% (442/1783). Univariate logistic regression showed that age, female, smoking, working in uncomfortable postures, repetitive head movement, feeling constantly stressed at work, and completing conflicting tasks in work could increase the risk of neck WMSDs symptoms in automobile manufacturing enterprise workers (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.16-1.62; OR=2.85, 95%CI: 1.56-5.20; OR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.18-1.91; OR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.02-1.37; OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.04-1.72; OR=1.62, 95%CI: 1.21-2.17; OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.13-1.92; P<0.05). While adequate rest time could reduce the risk of neck WMSDs symptoms (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.52-0.86, P<0.05). The risk prediction model of neck WMSDs of workers in automobile manutacturing factory had good prediction efficiency, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.72 (95%CI: 0.70-0.75, P<0.001) . Conclusion: The occurrence of neck WMSDs symptoms of workers in automobile manufacturing factory is relatively high. The risk prediction model constructed in this study can play a certain auxiliary role in predicting neck WMSDs symptoms of workers in automobile manufacturing enterprise workers.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE SPHERE OF MANAGEMENT AND SOCIAL AND LABOR RELATIONS IN WAR AND POST-WAR TIMES

The article reveals the peculiarities of the transformation of the sphere of management and social and labor relations in the war and post-war periods. It was established that non-traditional forms of employment and organization of work spread during this period. It has been proven that the function of human resources management becomes a catalyst for coordinating the interests of employers and employees. The transformation of the field of management and social and labor relations in the wartime period took place with the help of the spread of the remote work format. It has been found that the successful organization of the enterprise's work is possible if there is experience in working remotely and due to the availability of material and technical resources and software. The purpose of the research is the analysis of the management system and social-labor relations in the conditions of war, the study of obstacles and favorable factors of remote work and the development of remote management of human resources in the post-war period. It has been found that following the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine has actualized the active spread of remote work in Ukraine, which is able to ensure the stability of the national economy and the preservation of productive employment of the population in the context of the deployment of the digital economy. In our opinion, the field of management in combination with progressive information and communication technologies and the created national legal framework is suitable for the transition to new forms of labor organization inherent in the new economy - remote work, automation and digitization of routine operations

SOCIAL PORTRAIT AND POSITION OF WORKERS OF PATRIMONIAL MANUFACTORIES IN THE TERRITORY OF BELARUS IN THE 18TH CENTURY

The article is devoted to the problem of working force in manufacturing-type enterprises that arrived on Belarusian lands in the 18th century. The author strives to paint a detailed portrait of the worker in patrimonial manufactories through an analysis of the gender, quantitative, and national composition of workers in enterprises. One of the features of manufactories on the territory of Belarus was the use of the labor of serfs, therefore the problem of the social composition of workers occupies a special place in the article. During a comprehensive examination of the portrait of a worker, the issue of nationality is important. The article not only lists the nationalities of the workers, but also makes a conclusion about the reasons for the rapid replacement of foreign craftsmen by local specialists. Particular attention is paid to the description and assessment of the conditions in which the workers worked.

Assessing personal protective equipment usage and its correlation with knowledge, attitudes, performance, and safety culture among workers in small and medium-sized enterprises

BackgroundThe use of personal protective equipment (PPE) should be a culture of a workplace, and deeply rooted in worker behavior and attitude during their practice. According to the recent studies only 64% of the workers use PPE properly. The present study aims to investigate the utilization of PPE among workers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and its relationship with knowledge, attitude, performance, and safety culture among workers.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire tool across SMEs in Kashan city in year 2023. The used tool included three questionnaires: demographic, safety culture, and knowledge, attitude and performance. Study papulation was 529 SMEs. Totally, the sample size was 369 persons and questionnaires were distributed among the workers of SMEs. Finally, SPSS software was used for statistical analysis and structural equation modeling. Various statistical tests including T-Test, ANOVA, RMSEA, CFI, TLI, and the chi-square ratio were employed.ResultsThe mean values (standard deviation) of age and work experience were 35.19 (12.33), and 15.60 (1.69) years, respectively. Among the 369 participants, 267 participants (72.4%) indicated that they use some PPE, although not all types. However, 102 individuals (27.7%) do not employ any PPE. The lowest score for safety culture dimension was attributed to safety training at 1.58. The results of the final model indicate that the assumed relationships between variables, as outlined in the study objectives, were well established, with all connections proving statistically significant.ConclusionIt can be concluded that the missing of inadequate legal supervision for small industries exists. Therefore, it can be inferred that if supervision and regulation are enhanced for safety training and implementation that may lead to increased usage of PPE.

AN ONTOLOGICAL MODEL OF WORKERS’ REMUNERATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF AN ENTERPRISE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

The article is devoted to issues related to the modeling of the business process of forming wages for manufacturing enterprise workers in the context of digital transformation. The importance of modeling the business process of paying workers is shown, on which the efficiency of the production process largely depends, and, accordingly, the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole. A model for the formation of workers’ wages has been developed, including information, technological and organizational aspects. An objective assessment of the work of workers leads to increased motivation, high-performance and high-quality work. The application of a balanced scorecard system is shown, which makes it possible to move from strategy to operational planning, taking into account the mutual influence of four modules – financial, production, consumer and innovation. Together, these modules have a significant impact on improving the efficiency of the entire enterprise. However, without digital transformation, it is impossible to consider the innovative activity of an enterprise. In addition, it is only in the conditions of digital information that it is possible to abandon the poorly documented distribution of shift-daily tasks to workers and promptly monitor their implementation. The development of a methodology for paying workers leads to the fact that having operational results of production activities, it is possible to objectively evaluate the work of workers, monitor their activities and determine the amount of encouragement not only once a month, but also daily. The implementation of this technique allows you to activate workers to perform shift-daily tasks within the time limits set by the plan and in the prescribed range, increase production discipline, encourage economical use of material, energy and other resources. In addition, production information is promptly displayed in the management system, which allows managers to have an up-to-date picture of the production plan implementation.

Vocational educational ecosystem of an industrial enterprise: concept, features, experience

Introduction. In modern conditions of rapid scientific and technological development, the training of highly qualified personnel is one of the most important tasks for most countries of the world. In this regard, it is of interest to study productive forms of interaction between education and the real sector of the economy. The aim of this research is to study the content of the vocational educational, to identify its features and development prospects. Methodology and methods. Systematic and comparative analysis was used to study the characteristics and significance of the vocational education ecosystem. In order to assess the influence of the vocational educational ecosystem on the formation of human capital of the enterprise that initiated its creation, two groups of its employees (30 people each) who received vocational education in educational organizations of the vocational-educational ecosystem and in other organizations were interviewed. In order to assess the impact of the vocational educational ecosystem on the development of human capital, a survey was conducted of 95 enterprise employees with higher education and experience from 3 to 25 years. The method of group assessments, questionnaires, and the Mann-Whitney U-test are applied Results. Analysis of the literature made it possible to identify the educational ecosystem as a special socio-economic ecosystem that has systemic characteristics, but has its own characteristics, expressed in the specificity of the goal, the presence of a special composition of key stakeholders and non-hierarchical connections between them. Using the example of the vocational educational ecosystem of a large machinebuilding enterprise in the Rostov region (Russian Federation), its specificity and importance for the enterprise are shown. A survey of industrial enterprise workers who received education in educational organizations of the vocational educational ecosystem and other educational organizations showed that the average period of professional adaptation for the first group was about 4.9 months, and for the second group – 9.9. Similarly, satisfaction with the practical skills acquired during the training process differs between the two groups of respondents. To assess the period of professional adaptation U = 75 at p &lt; 0.01, to assess satisfaction with practical skills U = 264 at p &lt; 0.01. 71.6% of surveyed enterprise employees at the second stage noted that over the past year they received new professional knowledge from employees of the academic sector. Conclusion. The key advantage of the vocational educational ecosystem is the pronounced practice-oriented orientation of training and the reduction of the period of professional adaptation of graduates, as well as the availability of opportunities for interaction between enterprise employees and representatives of universities or scientific organizations to resolve professional issues.
