This paper addresses the field of economic measurements of the value of assets, carried out by the methods of independent expert evaluation. The mathematical principles of application, within a comparative methodical approach, of additive and multiplicative models for correcting the cost of single indicator of compared objects have been considered. The differences of mathematical basis of the compared models were analyzed. It has been shown that the ambiguity in the methodology of correction procedure requires studying the advantages and disadvantages of (...) known models, as well as the justification and elaboration of recommendations for their application. Possible forms of correction representation using several alternative units of measurement have been defined; formulas for their interconnection have been built. Analytic expressions have been derived that mathematically describe the algorithms for performing the evaluation correction procedure using various forms of correction representation. The influence of the correction execution model on the characteristics of uncertainty in the independent evaluation result has been analyzed. The scope of two possible types of correction introduction models has been determined. A specific numerical example was used to demonstrate the methodological advantages of using a multiplicative model when summarizing percentage corrections. The independence of the correction result on the sequence of correction introduction has been confirmed. It is proposed to use the selected measure of partial corrections as a criterion for the adequacy of the correction introduction model. It is proved that the result of the independent expert evaluation depends on the chosen model and does not depend on the sequence of correction introduction. The reported study results are important in terms of theory and practice since they make it possible to improve the accuracy and reliability of the result of independent expert evaluation. (shrink)

The study focuses on defining and substantiating the concept of the information and consulting environment of a vocational education institution (VEI), which facilitates information exchange, consultative support, and the active involvement of all participants in the educational process. Drawing on environmental, creative-developmental, and systemic-structural approaches, the research outlines the content of the VEI’s information and consulting environment and the criteria for its effective organisation. Observation and SWOT analysis reveal digital and sociocultural barriers to the provision of educational services amid military (...) events in Ukraine. By applying retrospective, comparative, systemic analysis, and modelling methods, the study develops a methodology for optimising the organisation of the VEI’s information and consulting environment to ensure its inclusivity and accessibility. This environment represents a multi-component system of educational resources and technologies that enable the informatisation, digitalisation, and automation of consulting services. Its well-structured organisation supports the modernisation of the educational process and fosters inclusive engagement through the integration of informational, consultative, diagnostic, interactive, coordinating, professional development, and instructional-methodological functions. Its structure encompasses social, spatial-object, and psycho-pedagogical dimensions. The research identifies significant achievements of Ukrainian VEIs in this area while also highlighting a critical insufficiency in the systemic-structural characteristics of the existing environments. This underscores the need for a qualitative renewal of their conceptual foundations, content, organisational models, and technological solutions. The proposed methodology for organising the VEI’s information and consulting environment aims to raise the quality of educational services, enhance inclusivity by integrating participants through information flows, and foster collaboration and co-creation in the institution’s development.

The article explores the historical foundations and specific features of partnership pedagogy in the context of current educational transformations. The purpose of the article is to summarise theoretical approaches and practical models of partnership pedagogy in the context of current transformations in the educational landscape, to analyse its forms and levels of implementation in national and international educational practice, as well as to identify potential barriers and prospects for the further integration of partnership strategies into Ukraine’s education system. The research (...) employed a range of interrelated methods: theoretical analysis of scholarly literature and regulatory documents to clarify the concept of “partnership pedagogy” and its interpretations in both domestic and international discourses; comparative analysis of foreign and national experiences in implementing partnership-based approaches in education; interpretive and reflective methods to explore the typology, levels, and content dimensions of educational partnership; and methods of systematisation and generalisation to identify barriers to implementation and outline prospects for its further development. It is established that partnership pedagogy is an educational concept grounded in the principles of equitable interaction, mutual responsibility, trust, and cooperation among all participants in the educational process. It serves as a relevant methodological basis for educational practice across all levels of education. Within educational discourse, partnership encompasses not only formal collaboration among stakeholders but also phenomena such as co-participation, mutual accountability, trust, subject–subject relations, dialogic engagement, and cooperation. In the context of education governance, partnership is interpreted as coordination of actions, joint decision-making, and the involvement of all stakeholders in planning, implementing, and evaluating educational policy. It is emphasised that educational partnership represents not only a pedagogical practice but also a vital component of educational policy in many countries in response to global challenges. It is outlined that the transformation of partnership pedagogy from a humanistic pedagogical concept into an interdisciplinary approach integrating pedagogical, managerial, and sociocultural practices of interaction among educational actors and stakeholders is evident. A comparative analysis of Ukrainian and international models of educational partnership is conducted, with particular attention to the New Ukrainian School Concept. The article also examines the institutionalisation of partnership practices in the EU, the United Kingdom, Finland, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Innovative methods, forms, and technologies for implementing partnership interaction in higher education institutions are identified. Examples of successful educational practices based on co-creation, dialogue, and shared responsibility – particularly in the context of Students as Partners initiatives, eportfolios, design thinking, dual education, and project-based learning – are synthesised. The article substantiates the stages of partnership development in higher education: from the modelling of practices, expansion and institutional consolidation, and critical reflection to external institutional integration. It outlines the key barriers to the implementation of partnership strategies in Ukraine and suggests possible directions for their adaptation to the national educational context. It is concluded that particularly relevant for adaptation to the Ukrainian context are models for establishing educational and production clusters, virtual universities, scientific-educational hubs, and projectoriented educational networks. However, the meaningful adaptation of relevant international practices is only possible when the national context is duly taken into account – specifically, the characteristics of educational culture, regulatory frameworks, and the willingness of educational stakeholders to broaden their scope of responsibility within partnership-based interaction.

The article addresses how to improve the professional training of specialists in the transport industry using information and cognitive technologies. The article aims to study and explain the problems, opportunities, and prospects of implementing and using information and cognitive technologies in the educational environment, as well as the specifics of their implementation for teaching and learning in educational and professional programs for the trans-port specialists’ training. The following methods of semantic and comparative analysis, classification, generalization, and sys-tematization, as well as (...) competency-based, technological, and creative development approaches were used in the research. It has been found that cognitive technologies in the context of teaching and learning involve the use of methods and tools, which are based on understanding and activating cognitive processes such as thinking, memory, and attention. In cognitive learning, the educational process focuses not on absorbing infor-mation but on understanding the internal connections of the studied subjects, which encourages students to engage in dialogical, exploratory thinking, and increases mental activity concentration. By complementing information technologies with cognitive ones, which take into account the individual and general cog-nitive students’ abilities, it is possible not only to encourage professional training but also to enhance the overall cognitive efficiency of future specialists. For educators, these technologies facilitate the use of ICT as cognitive tools for transitioning from traditional teacher-centred methods to constructivist student-cen-tred approaches. It has been established that information-cognitive technologies combine methods and algorithms based on insights into the cognition processes, learning, communication, and information processing, grounded in the achievements of neuroscience, digital and information technologies, and the mathematical modelling of consciousness. In the educational process, they are designed to support students in setting and solving creative tasks that are difficult to formalize, as well as to reveal and effectively operate their cognitive potential. In the professional training of students, certain information-cognitive technologies can be applied both with and without the use of computer systems. These include technologies for developing critical thinking, creatively developmental technologies, project technologies, foresight methodologies, problem-based learning technologies, mastery learning technologies, mental activity activation technologies, case studies, gaming technologies, visualization and data representation technologies, and learning through practice. Additionally, the use of multimedia technologies, scribing, virtual and augmented reality, project technologies based on networking, gamification, interactive technologies, primarily group work technol-ogies, open, distance, and blended learning technologies, and also the Internet of Things, Blockchain, Big Data, expert systems, SMART technologies, and artificial intelligence significantly enhances the quality of training students in proficiency transport area. It has been concluded that information and cognitive technologies provide interactive, personalized, and practically oriented learning, contribute to the development of student’s critical thinking, and for fu-ture transport specialists can optimize logistics processes, automate diagnostics, repair, and operation of vehicles, in addition, increase the specialist’s adaptability to the complex conditions of the modern and fu-ture professional environment.

This article concentrates on a couple of semiotic approaches working out, on the one hand, the mediated character of reducing interpretative trajectories to the actual translation into the language of narratives (A. J. Greimas) or the language of textuality (F. Rastier), and, on the other, the direct, apparently unmediated passage to the visceral physicality of the verbal signifying system, which make semantic and syntactic components perfunctory to interpretation in a way (J. Kristeva). Greimassian universal narrative grammar dismantles signifying units, navigating (...) in the network of narrative utterances. Rastier's approach structures textual artifacts by unearthing semantic constituents crucial for semiotic analysis. Kristeva examines what is behind the curtain instead of sorting out the significance of the text's content as a special category and the possibility of procedure allowing its interpretation. These three authors are compared in the context of two approaches that come to grips with the author/reader pair. (shrink)

The article addresses the issue of the appropriateness of revising the content of the theory of education and learning, analyses key didactic categories, and outlines the opportunities presented by educational systems in the era of digitalisation. The purpose of this study is to define the main challenges, opportunities, and prospects for the devel of this study is to define the main challenges, opportunities, and prospects for the development of didactics in the digital age. The research tasks include analysing the laws, (...) patterns, principles, rules, strategies, and content of learning in the context of digitalised educational systems, identifying the features of teaching methods and organisational forms of learning, and clarifying the place and role of digital didactics in pedagogy and practice. The study employs methods of comparative, content, and categorical analysis, generalisation and systematisation, analogy, classification, and modelling. Based on an analysis of primary sources, the study identifies the specific features of human cognitive development in a digital environment. It is established that the digital environment serves as a tool with extensive functional capabilities rather than as a generative factor determining the development of the psyche, the learning process, or the education and socialisation of individuals. The study emphasises the constancy of human nature and activity, as well as the fundamental principles of didactics. The study reveals the specific ways in which laws and patterns of learning are interpreted. Conceptual changes in the system of didactic principles are examined, focusing primarily on the strategies for their implementation in a digital educational environment. The need to update the list of learning principles is highlighted, including principles of flexibility, adaptability, integration, personalisation of learning, digital inclusion, gamification, optimal cognitive load, digital ethics, and safety. Changes in the structure of learning activities are investigated, with an emphasis on the need to revise learning rules and strategies. Approaches to transforming educational content in light of the possibilities offered by digital technologies are outlined. The structure and components of teaching methods are clarified, involving an analysis of their ideological and operational dimensions. The potential of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and automated systems for the qualitative renewal of classifications of teaching methods is demonstrated. The specific features of forms of learning organisation are characterised. The findings generalise the idea that the nature of changes does not undermine the classroom-lesson system in schools or the lecture-seminar system in higher education institutions. Instead, it adapts these formats to the demands of the digital age, with the educational process increasingly focused on the principles of constructivism, adaptability, and inclusivity, emphasising the active role of learners in knowledge creation while taking into account their individual needs and experiences. It is concluded that digitalisation in education represents not only a technological but also a profoundly conceptual pedagogical phenomenon. The pedagogical design of educational environments under these conditions proceeds through the adaptation of the fundamental principles of the theory of education and learning to the new realities of the digital educational environment. The article argues that considering digital didactics as a separate scientific discipline is fraught with risks, including the excessive fragmentation of didactics as an integrated scientific field, the potential technocratisation of education, and an imbalance between traditional and new methods of knowledge acquisition. Such risks could exacerbate cognitive overload, reduce critical thinking and social skills among learners, and lead to educational losses. In light of these risks, the authors propose that digital didactics should not be viewed as a separate field of knowledge but rather as a distinct subject of research and a thematic strand within the broader framework of didactics. This approach ensures the adaptation of traditional principles and methods in terms of the digital environment. (shrink)

Статтю присвячено огляду можливих перспектив розвитку діалогу буддизму з наукою в напрямку міжкультурних філософських дискусій у разі залучення вчення тибето-буддійської традиції Калачакра, яке «балансує» між релігійно-філософською та науковою думкою. Заради цього розглянуто зв’язок вчення Калачакра з класичними буддійськими науками, зокрема традиційною астрономією (астрологією) та медициною (алхімією). Особливу увагу приділено метафізичній системі Калачакра, яка пропонує власну модель феноменального світу і дає можливість намітити певні зв’язки між різними рівнями свідомості, та потенціалу філософських підходів до аналізу цієї моделі. Як висновки сформульовано окремі попередні (...) зауваження щодо кардинальної парадигмальної відмінності прикладних буддійських наук (астрономії, медицини) від сучасних західних наукових світоглядних позицій, що варто враховувати, якщо є наміри ставити в межах діалогу «буддизм – наука» культурно-філософські питання.

A method of identifying banks’ business models and studying the features of their risk profile, considering the system of indicators featuring the structure of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and other qualitative indicators based on monthly statistical reporting. Kohonen's self-organizing maps (SOM) are used to process large data sets, revealing objects’ hidden features by forming homogeneous groups according to similar values of a large system of indicators. The choice of the system of indicators that play the most significant role in describing (...) the business models of modern banks is substantiated. The proposed method makes it possible to group banks with homogeneous characteristics into so-called structural-functional groups and studies the change in the characteristics of groups of banks over time to compare their behavior during periods of active development of the system and during a crisis. That approach is useful for studying the banking system at the macro level, as it provides a quantitative measure of its financial stability. The more banks are in groups with negative values of parameters, increased risks, and unprofitable performance, the worse the general state of the system. The method also allows studying the features of each structural and functional group and the business models’ features at the meso-level. The number and composition of banks inherent in any group change dynamically, which characterizes the features of the relevant business model in a particular period. The averages of each group reflect the objective changes in the banking system structure. In addition, the SOM trajectory can be built for each individual bank determining the development of its strategy, features of a particular business model, and risk profile. At the micro-level, it allows comparing the features of individual banks within the SFGB and models ways to improve efficiency and financial stability by forecast values for SOM. An extensive system of indicators used to form structural and functional groups of banks allows to quickly respond to changes in the banking system, identify areas of increased risk and explore the adequacy and effectiveness of banks’ business models.

The rapid development of blockchain technologies creates a new paradigm of economic relations, requiring a rethinking of traditional approaches to management and business organization. The relevance of Ethereum research is due to its significant potential for creating new forms of economic coordination that go beyond existing institutional structures. With the growing complexity of global economic systems, Ethereum offers a unique approach to solving trust, transparency, and transaction efficiency problems. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the role of blockchain (...) as a new management technology using the example of the Ethereum platform, as well as to reveal the mechanisms for projecting imaginary autonomy in the process of its design and institutionalization through the activities of various actors. The study focuses on the formation of alternative modes of economic coordination of entrepreneurial structures and social organization. Key characteristics of the “governance through transactions” implemented in Ethereum are identified, including the focus on exchange and association relationships, the epistemological gap between the calculation and meaning of transactions, and the specific processes of forming and articulating these transactions. The process of institutionalization of the autonomy of cryptoassets is analyzed, demonstrating the complex interaction of various actors, technologies and social practices. A conceptual model of the evolution of digital economy management has been developed, reflecting the development trajectory from fragility to antifragility using the example of Ethereum. The transformational potential of Ethereum for existing economic and social structures is substantiated. This platform is considered an alternative proposal for managing the digital economy, capable of changing the fundamental principles of organizing economic activity. Problems and limitations associated with the implementation of decentralized systems are also identified, including technical challenges of scalability, difficulties of coordination, and risks of excessive algorithmization of social relations.

У статті розкрито сутність і зміст індивідуального стилю професійної діяльності, його структуру й механізми формування. Установлено, що індивідуальний стиль професійної діяльності є комплексним особистісним утворенням, яке охоплює сталу систему методів і методик роботи та визначає певну стратегію поведінки в трудовій діяльності. Показано, що структуру індивідуального стилю можна уявити у вигляді змістового ядра й прибудови до нього, що формується внаслідок дії механізмів адаптації, компенсації й корекції під час опанування суб’єктом професійної діяльності. З’ясовано, що індивідуальний стиль професійної діяльності може бути охарактеризований через (...) своєрідність співвідношення в структурі орієнтовної, виконавчої та контрольної видів професійної діяльності та визначений як такий, що має процесуальність, особистісну своєрідність, продуктивність, розвивальнимй, коригувальний та адаптивний потенціал, умотивованість у виявленні й розвитку стилю. Акцентовано на тому, що стиль професійної діяльності є водночас фактором і наслідком індивідуального професійного розвитку індивіда, коли в процесі набуття професійного досвіду відбувається інтеграція вроджених властивостей нервової системи, набутих інтелектуальних, емоційних, поведінкових якостей та формуються відмітні риси й індивідуальні здібності людини, що забезпечують її ефективність і продуктивність у досягненні результатів. Виявлено та обґрунтовано педагогічні умови формування індивідуального стилю професійної діяльності майбутніх фахівців. Серед них: урахування індивідуально-психологічних особливостей майбутніх фахівців; запровадження засобів комплексної диференціації з метою розвитку адекватної самооцінки та настанов у виконанні трудових дій; цілеспрямоване формування системи раціональних трудових прийомів; створення на заняттях позитивного мікроклімату, атмосфери співтворчості та співпраці, що забезпечить закріплення оригінальних способів здійснення професійної діяльності. -/- The article studies the problem of the future specialist’s professional formation as a subject of professional activity, which is characterized by originality and peculiarity in the realization of labour functions. The aim of the article is to reveal the essence and content of the individual style of professional activity, its structure and formation mechanisms; determination of pedagogical terms that contribute to the shaping of the optimal individual style of future specialists’ professional activity during their professional preparation process. A complex of research methods has been used, namely: content analysis, generalization and specification in the provisions of the theory of activity and professional pedagogy regarding the essence of the individual style of activity, modelling of the structure of the individual style of professional activity, substantiating the pedagogical terms of its formation in future specialists during their professional preparation process. It has been established that the individual style of professional activity is a complex personal creation including a stable system of work methods and techniques, and determining a certain behaviour strategy in their labour activity. It has been shown that the structure of an individual style can be presented in the form of a content core and an extension to it; it is formed as a result of the action of mechanisms of adaptation, compensation and correction during the subject’s mastery of professional activity. It has been found that the individual style of professional activity can be characterized by means of the peculiarity of the ratio of the indicative, executive and control types of professional activity in its structure. It can be defined by way of procedural, personal originality, and productivity parameters, as well as one’s having the developmental, corrective and adaptive potential, and motivation in detecting and shaping the style. It has been emphasised that the style of professional activity, at the same time, is both a factor and a consequence of the person’s individual professional development. During the gaining professional experience process, the innate properties of the nervous system, and acquired intellectual, emotional, and behavioural qualities are integrated and a person’s distinctive features and individual abilities are formed ensuring their efficiency and productivity in achieving the results. It has been highlighted that such leading methodological approaches as systemic, personal-activity, axiological and acmeological ones are effective means to shape the future specialists’ individual style of professional activity. They make it possible to form not individual features or characteristics, but an integral dynamic psychological system of individual active adaptation to the conditions of the professional environment via involvement in the study and professional activities, taking into account personality traits and value attitudes and focusing on achieving the top of the professional mastery. Pedagogical terms for the formation of the future specialists’ individual style of professional activity have been identified and substantiated. They include taking into account the individual and psychological characteristics of future specialists, introducing means of complex differentiation to develop adequate self-assessment and attitudes in the performance of labour actions, purposeful formation of a system of rational labour methods, as well as creation of a positive microclimate and an atmosphere of co-creation and cooperation in classes, which will ensure the consolidation of original methods of carrying out professional activities.

The methodology of using mobile apps with AR in students' vocational preparation process for the transport industry has been presented. It covers the system of educational tasks, updated content of lectures, practical and laboratory classes for specialized disciplines. (shrink)

The article reveals the topical problem of shaping the leadership qualities in student youth, educating potential leaders who can quickly and purposefully integrate into society, solve social and industrial is-sues, and manage groups and innovative projects. It has emphasised the relevance of the problem of mod-elling the development of youth leadership and the study and adaptation of domestic and international ex-perience in this area. It has been defined that the vast majority of existing conceptual approaches concern the leadership of adults, (...) skilled professionals, and the business sphere. The purpose of the article is to review the conceptual ideas and theories that form the basis of mod-els for the formation of leadership qualities in student youth, as well as identification of the work system for training leaders in educational institutions of various levels. The study uses the methods of substantive, retrospective, comparative and definitional analysis, syn-thesis of principal ideas regarding youth leadership development, as well as generalization and specification of the best experience of modelling the formation of leadership qualities in student youth. Current theories underlying the investigation of the youth leadership phenomenon have been consid-ered, among which are the Trait Theory and the Great Person Theory, Theories of resonant, proactive, emotional, charismatic, democratic, transformational, situational, participative, servant leadership, and what-ever. It has been found out that all existing programs for effective leader development are based on a sin-gle humanistic concept that a leader is, first of all, an individual who, guided primarily by higher spiritual needs, strives for self-realization. It has been claimed that leadership qualities include both individual and psychological personality traits and those which determine productive relationships arising in the group interaction process. Several psychological, pedagogical and complex models for the formation of leadership qualities in student youth, developed in Ukraine and abroad, have been revealed. The models presented in the article are based on the author’s concepts, which, at the same time, have common features in the organization of purposeful training and self-study of pupils / students to develop so-called soſt skills in them, the formation of leader attitude, leader competency, leader behaviour and teamwork experience. The peculiarities of educational disciplines, classroom and extracurricular work, student self-government, and socially and energetic civil activities during the formation of leadership qualities in student youth at the level of an educational institution have been characterized. Examples of the development of youth leadership by organizations at the regional, all-Ukrainian, and international levels have been given. It has been pointed out that most models of leadership development have several common features, namely: a) emphasis on both academic knowledge and personal development of leadership qualities of pupils / students; b) ensuring a high level of interaction in the “teacher-stu-dent” and “student-student” systems; c) experiential learning; d) reflective learning; e) collaborative learning; e) creation of a comfortable and emotionally rich educational environment; f) activation of study and cognitive activities of pupils/students via project activities and networking; g) operating the mutual evaluation and feedback. It has been concluded that each of the analyzed models of leadership formation provides students with valuable opportunities to shape leadership skills and apply them in the real world, increasing their personal and professional development.

The article is devoted to the historical and philosophical problems of the study of the text of the "Gridaya Sutra" ("Sherab Nyingpo") within the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. As a prolegomena, an overview of the field of translation was chosen - for a better understanding of both the logic of the formation of the Buddhist tradition of the Prajna-paramita sutras in India (which is revealed during translations from Sanskrit into Western languages), and the principles of their textual transmission to Tibet (...) (through the clarification of the principles of Tibetan translation from Sanskrit in the Lotsa tradition). The purpose of the study is to identify the mechanism that made it possible to make a transition in the Buddhist religious and philosophical space from the intellectual understanding of the ideas of emptiness (explained in the Magayana sutras) to their direct practice, the meaning of which is the detection of emptiness in one's own stream of consciousness (proposed by the tantric teachings of Vajrayana).. And since the "Gridaya-sutra" is the quintessence of the entire tradition of Prajna-paramita texts and contains a unique Buddhist mantra of "consolation in suffering", it, as a representative of the teachings of the sutras, was chosen for comparative analysis with the tradition of Mantrayana texts, i.e. Tantrayana. The representative of the tantric tradition was chosen to be the teaching text of the highest class of tantras - the Anuttarayogatantra called Kalachakra, which, due to its systematic development and strong semantic connections with classical Buddhist sciences, is considered the most consistent and structured tantra. As a result of research in Kalachakra, a specific complication of the meanings of the "Gridaya-sutra" was revealed, which opened the way for the individual from contemplating the emptiness of dharmas to collapsing the space-time continuum of the inner experience of conceptuality into a transcendent singularity for the sake of understanding true knowledge (jnana). In addition, the key mechanism of such a transition, which made it possible for the third turning of the Dharma wheel to become a continuation of the practice of the second turning, and not just another separate method, turned out to be the mechanism of the mantra, which is transformed from a concise morphological formula in the "Gridaya-sutra" into a phonetic formula in the Kalachakra. Therefore, the "Gridaya-sutra" takes the place of a trigger in the paramitayana, which makes it possible to organically connect the "higher" arsenal of Buddhist tantra to the process of enlightenment.

У статті проаналізовано найвідоміші наукові праці XX ст. (К. Кларка, Д. Белла, Т. Роззака, Г.-М. Маклюена, Т. Стоунієра, Р. Катца, Ф. Вебстера, З. Бжезінського, О. Тоффлера, А. Тойнбі, Ж. Бодріяра, Ж.-Ф. Ліотара), пов’язані з дослідженням ключових понять інформаційної епохи, її об’єктивних основ розвитку, які сформували основні наукові, суспільно-політичні течії минулого століття, відкрили перспективи для розвою політичної думки сучасності та можливі шляхи формування суспільства у XXI ст . Що ж відбулося наприкінці (а точніше – в другій половині) XX ст., змусивши навіть (...) консервативних скептиків визнати закінчення тривалої епохи індустріального розвитку? Причини цих процесів, як показують соціальні й суспільно-політичні процеси, потрібно шукати в економіці. Крім первинного та вторинного секторів економіки завжди існував і третинний сектор, пов’язаний зі сферою послуг. У другій половині XX ст. завдяки розвитку технології (це стосується насамперед автоматизованого виробництва й скорочення об’єктивної потреби в робочих місцях) значення третинного, сервісного сектору економіки почало невпинно зростати, що ознаменувало кінець епохи індустріального суспільства й початок нової, постіндустріальної історії. Наслідком цього стала поява нових форм культури й трансформація суспільних відносин. У публіцистичних текстах мас-медіа й наукових публікаціях трапляються поняття «постіндустріальне суспільство», «інформаційне суспільство», «інформаційна епоха». Проте, якщо поставити собі мету розібратися, що ж таке постіндустріальне суспільство чи інформаційна революція, це виявиться не так просто. Різні автори часто вкладають у ці поняття власний зміст, перетворюючи в такий спосіб свої тексти на те, що в психоаналізі називають потоком вільних асоціацій. Прагнення внести певні корективи в поняття «постіндустріальне суспільство» та окреслити основні тенденції й особливості епохи постмодерну, а також з’ясувати можливі наслідки її впливу на різні сфери життя сучасної цивілізації стало причиною появи цієї статті.

Scientific sources demonstrate different attitudes of researchers to cryptocurrencies because they treat them as a category of currency, virtual money, commodity, etc. Accordingly, the relation to the valuation and risk of cryptocurrency as an investment object is different. The purpose of the article is to identify cryptocurrency value formation factors and determine the risks of investing in cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is simultaneously considered a currency, an asset with uncertain income, and a specific product, the price of which is determined by the (...) energy costs for mining new cryptocurrency blocks. Thus, the paper examines the risks of investing in cryptocurrency from several positions. First, the study identifies the factors of formation of the value and risk of cryptocurrency as ordinary money based on comparing cryptocurrency with traditional money. Unlike traditional money, cryptocurrency is not tied to the economic performance of a particular country; also, central banks do not control or regulate their mining. Instead, the cryptocurrency emissions depend on the computational capacity of the equipment used for their mining. As a financial asset, cryptocurrency can be a “financial bubble” because their value increasing often exceeds the cost of mining. On the other hand, given the emergence of cryptocurrency as a phenomenon of the information economy, the paper analyses the impact of specific technical features (cryptographic hashing algorithm, the complexity of creating new blocks, the technology of verification of mining operations, etc.) on the risk of investing in cryptocurrency assets.

У статті розглянуто феномени жанрової та ідеологічної пам’яті ландшафтів українських ходінь до раю та показано поліморфізм функцій просторових описів у середньовічній літературі. Теоретичний аспект дослідження передбачає осмислення способів протистояння авторської інстанції стихіям культурної та жанрової пам’яті, яка зберігає усі ціннісні, етичні й естетичні програми претекстів новопосталого твору. На позначення цього явища запроваджено термін «криптограматичність літературного дискурсу», сила опору якій прямо пропорційна до меж індивідуалізму письменницької свободи, установленої в рамках кожної культурно-історичної епохи. З цієї перспективи стверджено, що специфіка ходіння до раю (...) як окремої таксономічної одиниці визначається сумою його претекстів та архітекстуальних взаємодій, оскільки для середньовічного скриптора схрещення й модифікація жанрових матриць подекуди ставали ключовою формою самовираження. Завдяки внутрішній жанровій інтеракції у наративній структурі апокрифів завжди наявні осередки інших типів раціональності та ідеологем, резервуарами яких у художньому тексті часто слугували шаблонізовані екфразиси. Історико-літературний ракурс розвідки сфокусований на механізмах рецепції античного греко-римського «індійського тексту» в середньовічній апокрифічній традиції. (shrink)

Статтю присвячено аналізу режимів сигніфікації та їхніх соціокультурних контекстів. Досліджено роботи сучасного британського дослідника С. Леша. Історична динаміка режимів сиг­ніфікації демонструє єдність процесів вироблення та споживання з урахуванням специфіки вироблення та споживання об’єктів культури. Перенесення наголосу з теми навколо виробництва та відповідних їй способів розподілу праці, режиму накопичення та форми капіталу (К. Маркс, Е. Дюркгейм та М. Вебер) виявляє автономність виробництва, сприйняття та інституційного функціонування об’єктів культури. Доведено, що кожен з досліджуваних елементів режиму сигніфікації має відповідну форму організації візуальних практик.

The article explores the current problems of the relationship between emotional and artificial intelligence in the context of philosophical reflection on subjectivity and cognitive processes, and also analyzes the impact of new technologies on the idea of cognition and the subject. The relevance of the study is due to the growing role of artificial intelligence in cognitive processes, the need to understand changes in the concept of subjectivity under the influence of technological transformations, and the need for a philosophical analysis (...) of the ethical aspects of human interaction with AI. The goal is to scientifically substantiate the interaction of emotional intelligence and artificial intelligence in the context of philosophical reflection on subjectivity in cognitive processes. The study was based on a content analysis of scientific publications in the field of emotional and artificial intelligence, a philosophical analysis of the concepts of subjectivity with an emphasis on ethical reflection and critical thinking, a comparative analysis of approaches to the integration of emotional and artificial intelligence into cognitive processes, a case study method for studying examples of the use of AI in business processes, as well as for studying the mechanisms of integrating artificial intelligence into emotional intelligence processes and their impact on customer interaction. The results of the study demonstrate that the examples of the companies Gong and BenchSci illustrate progress in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to model emotional aspects of customer interaction. The use of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies not only contributes to the analysis of behavioral data, but also to the adaptation of communication in accordance with the emotional reactions of users. An analysis of the application of AI in business communications indicates its potential to increase the level of emotional intelligence in customer interaction. However, the study focuses on key philosophical aspects: the limits of AI subjectivity, its ability to understand emotions, and the ethics of interaction with people. It has been established that AI is not an autonomous subject of cognition, since its “emotional sensitivity” consists in reproducing algorithmic patterns. At the same time, the ability of AI to simulate emotions and influence customer behavior puts forward the need to form ethical norms and rules to regulate such technologies. Future research should be aimed at studying the deep aspects of the interaction of emotional and artificial intelligence in cognitive processes, analyzing the ethical challenges of introducing AI into the field of emotional intelligence, as well as studying the impact of these technologies on the transformation of ideas about subjectivity and human consciousness.

The purpose of the research. The main purpose of the study is to find out the experience of researching and solving the problem of professional burnout for physicians including family ones in the United States, by analyzing recent surveys and scientific papers of American and European scientists. Methodology. While working on the article, general scientific theoretical methods were used to accom-plish the tasks and achieve the purpose of the research. The methodological basis of the research was the structural-functional method, which (...) allowed considering the phenomenon of professional burnout as a whole with separate elements and their dependencies. Using a historical method, a brief overview of the research development by US scientists on the problem of professional burnout of physicians with a focus on key events that occurred at each of the stages highlighted in the scientific papers. A comparative method was used to compare the results of surveys of different years and topics, data presented in the proceedings of the scientists, and research approaches. Methods of systematization and generalization were used to formulate the paper’s conclusions, in particular, to highlight the essential features of the American research experience and practical problem solution of professional burnout of physicians. Results. It has been found that the professional burnout of physicians has been a matter of concern for the government, professional medical associations, and the general public for physicians of various US specialties for a long time. Although burnout affects physicians of all disciplines, it has been discovered that, among family physicians, this phenomenon exceeds the average level, especially compared to the general economically active population of the United States. Two approaches to identifying and reducing the risk of occupational burnout in the United States have been identified and characterized: the first approach covers measures aimed directly at a physician, that is, a specific individual, and the second, involves measures aimed at an organization, that is, a medical institution. It has been found that Ameri-can scientists have concluded that organizational measures are more effective, but the first approach should be applied as a first step in overcoming professional burnout. Practical meaning. The results of the research are applicable for further scientific exploration and practical problem solution of professional burnout of physicians, including family ones, in Ukraine. Prospects for further research. Meth-odology of surveys of physicians of various specialties on burnout, depression and professional satisfac-tion.

The multifactorial development of the global maritime trade market determines both the complexity of managing individual processes and the need for constant clarification of the factors and directions of changes in the basic state. This, in turn, determines the risks and complexity of adopting and implementing relevant investment and management decisions. It should be noted that the sea trade market actually functions outside of national legal aspects. At the same time, it is the national capital assets that reflect the technical (...) and economic level of vessels of a certain nationality that form entrepreneurial and macroeconomic efficiency. In this way, the legal conditions for the emergence of multi-level integration processes are formed. At the same time, a different principle of interaction should be distinguished. The nature of participation in the distribution of cargo flows between companies and routes should be considered as a special form of integration processes. This is due to the requirement of the unconditional provision of global needs, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the differentiation of adequate enterprise participation in the availability segments according to different characteristics. The actual situation of the maritime trade market in the system of the international division of labour determines the priorities of innovative strategies that guarantee a certain balanced development. The development of innovative strategies in the maritime trade market requires an understanding of the specifics of the industry, including the need for investments in sustainable development and decarbonisation. The increasing role of maritime transport enterprises in the international division of labor requires the optimization of the condition of the national merchant fleet and ports to ensure market relations. However, this optimization should not be pursued at the expense of other national priorities or in contradiction with international principles. Therefore, effective positioning of maritime transport enterprises requires taking into account transformational factors and balancing the technical and economic aspects of production with cost-effectiveness criteria. By adopting a thorough approach to managing the balance of individual maritime transport enterprises, it is possible to ensure a certain period of adequacy in relation to the external situation, thus minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency.

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of entrepreneurial initiative on the development of innovation activity of country enterprises. The theory of entrepreneurship by clarifying the essence of entrepreneurial initiative got further elaboration in the article. The methodical approach to the analysis and evaluation of the entrepreneurial initiative and its impact on the innovation activity of the enterprises, the results of which are the basis for further development of proposals to stimulate entrepreneurial initiative and development of their (...) innovation activity is suggested. The estimation of innovation activity of 1758 enterprises of Ukraine by calculating the integral indicator of innovation activity revealed its low level for innovation active enterprises. The method of one-dimensional linear regression has determined that an increase in the number of business structures per 10 thousand people of the country's population at a rate of 1.0 causes an increase in the indicator of innovation activity by 0.172. It is proved in the article that development of infrastructure of enterprenerial environment and creation of centers for entrepreneurship development act as an important mechanism of increasing innovation activity of enterprises of the country.

Global challenges have created problems for export companies due to the growing threats of the market environment, which requires such companies to adopt a survival strategy and apply appropriate strategic methods to successfully counteract emerging global challenges. The purpose of the article is to update knowledge on how global challenges affect the sustainability of export companies and how strategies adopted by companies counteract the negative impact of global challenges. The methodological basis for obtaining the results of the study was factual (...) analysis, logical and structural analysis, strategic analysis, analysis of cause and effect, and generalisation. The article critically analyses the existing theoretical concepts for explaining the impact of modern global challenges on export companies in order to reveal strategies for their survival in the face of uncertainty in the current market environment. Their further review revealed critical global challenges for export companies, which were classified according to the signs of their typification. Namely basic elements, sources of formation, thematic areas of influence, duration of influence, degree of implementation and nature of influence. The application of a strategic analysis of global challenges of export companies by thematic areas revealed possible causes of their emergence and consequences of their impact on the activities of export companies. In particular, it was found that export companies have the potential for negative impact of political and economic challenges, positive impact of technological and socio-cultural challenges, as well as neutral potential for legal and environmental challenges. The author proposes strategies for the survival of export companies under the influence of modern challenges, which should be focused on to obtain results that will ensure the sustainability of such companies in the future. The practical significance of the results lies in the fact that the main scientific provisions have been brought to the level of recommendations that can be used by managers of export companies to clarify the problems and promising areas of development of export activities.

In the context of the digital economy development, the priority component of the economic security of an enterprise is changing from material to digital, constituting an independent element of enterprise security. The relevance of the present research is driven by the need to solve the issue of modernizing the economic security of the enterprise taking into account the new risks and opportunities of digitalization. The purpose of the academic paper lies in identifying the features of preventing internal and external negative (...) influences (threats) in order to guarantee the effective and stable functioning and dynamic social development of the enterprise in the context of digitalization. The research methods are as follows: general scientific research methods, in particular, logical analysis, theoretical substantiation, methods of induction and deduction, formalization and generalization, statistical observation. Results. It has been proposed to introduce the concept of “digital security of the enterprise” for replacing the concept of “information component of economic security” in order to bring the terminology in line with new economic realities. The implementation of the “black box” model has made it possible to identify the latest risks and threats to the economic security of an enterprise within the conditions of the digitalization that differs from the existing ones. The assessment of enterprises’ digital security of the European Union member states has revealed that the digital security level does not depend on the size of the country, however, it is influenced by the institutional environment (in particular, digital development tools in the EU) and the size of enterprises. Also, within the research framework, an assessment of the digital security level of enterprises in the context of digitalization has been proposed. In order to characterize enterprises by the level of digital security, a calculation procedure using the coefficient method has been proposed. (shrink)

Gender inequality generates negative consequences for the economy, social sphere, and often the environment at the level of individual countries and the world. In this way, inequality creates a gender gap. The issue of reducing the gender gap was highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals and drew scientists' attention from various fields and international organizations to a multifaceted study of the gender gap phenomenon at different levels. The article analyzes available indicators that measure the gender gap and the conducted earlier (...) research on the factors that influence gender equality. We chose the Global Gender Gap Index. We found a statistically significant impact on the gender gap: the share of women in the total population, the level of achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the level of democracy, and GNI per capita. Thus, by accelerating the achievement of sustainable development goals and implementing democratic reforms, countries are reducing the gender gap in society. Our study did not confirm the statistically significant inverse relationship between fertility rates and the gender gap, which was previously established based on incomplete statistical information. Also, the gender gap is not affected by the country's population growth or by the country's belonging to one of the four groups by per capita income. The impact of migration processes on gender equality requires an in-depth and additional analysis based on data showing the impact of migration movements influenced by the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Three recent research reports by Topping and Trickey, by Fair and colleagues, and by Gorard, Siddiqui and Huat See have produced data that support the conclusion that a Philosophy for Children program of one-hour-per-week structured discussions has a marked positive impact on students. This article presents data from a follow up study done three years after the completion of the study reported in Fair et al.. The data show that the positive gains in scores on the Cognitive Abilities Test were (...) still present and had not faded after three years. Given the strength of these confirmations of the positive durable impact of the P4C program of structured discussions and given the relatively low cost of implementing the P4C program, it is recommended that it become a standard part of the school curriculum.
