Abstract:
Topicality. The modern economy, with its transformational processes, first of all requires the solution of the country's financial and credit system. The strength of finances and the efficiency of credit functioning are predetermined by the state of monetary circulation, which, in turn, requires their constant regulation, strengthening the financial and credit impact on the economy. One can get out of this situation only by attracting scientific knowledge and experience, that is, creating an independent research base, participating in the internationalization of high technologies and gaining experience in efficient technology transfer, competition for new markets, and strict adherence to science in economic activities. Combining financial and credit policy will allow the state to use budget methods to regulate the economy in full force through taxes, government spending and loans, interest rates, as well as to make wider use of buying and selling securities. In a market economy, financial regulatory methods, creating a financial environment, can solve economic problems of national importance in Ukraine. And marketing involves the study of the real needs of the client, its main objectives - to attract new customers, consumers who have not previously resorted to the services of a particular object, as well as offering new services. Today, marketing research organically included in the banking activity, becoming its integral part.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to identify the tools of the economic mechanism of financial and credit and implementation, the application of modern marketing technologies. The main goal of the transformational economy is to promote the development of an investment-attractive environment, to limit inflation, restructure the economy, integrate into international financial markets, and achieve social stability in society. To do this, the essence of economic development should be determined taking into account qualitative changes in the environment.Research results. In order to create a powerful economic basis for the country (and its regions), market mechanisms should facilitate rapid and high-quality renewal of production based on the latest technical and technological and modern scientific achievements, and the introduction of new business methods. Today on the agenda is the solution of qualitatively new, complex, multifaceted tasks and ensuring a single goal: the preservation of the living conditions and activities of people.Information technologies have become a new tool for turning knowledge into an information resource of society, which has become the main value of the civilized world. Information resource is treated as a social force aimed at the transformation of society.The emergence of a new technological paradigm based on more powerful and flexible information technologies made it possible to transform information as such into a product of the production process. Transforming the process of information processing, new information technologies influence all spheres of human activity and make it possible to establish innumerable links between various fields, as well as between the elements and agents of this activity.An important aspect in the use of foreign investment is a differentiated approach in using the principle of equal treatment of foreign and national investment. The system of foreign direct investment provides for two important points: replacing the system for approving projects by government bodies with a notification system; substantial limitation of tax benefits for joint ventures in order to ensure the principle of fair competition between foreign and national companies, taking into account environmental restrictions. First of all, it is necessary to open the industrial sector for investments of foreign capital and liberalize the process of investments in such technologically complex areas as telecommunications, engineering construction, and maritime transport. The state is faced with the difficult task of channeling financial resources to investors in business sectors in whose development the country would be interested.Reforming the economy of Ukraine involves a structural reorganization in the use, protection and reproduction of natural resources, covering the banking, financial and credit systems, investment, innovation policy and direct environmental management in private and public enterprises. Only an environmentally high-quality product and the same high-quality environmental service are in real demand in the market and can attract consumers. Based on the interests of society as a whole, and of each member of society, the use of new forms of organization of production, business and labor, improvement of the structure of production and economic activities, taking into account national features of environmental management, is required. The effectiveness of measures to preserve and support biodiversity, innovations in the environmental sector can be achieved only with a state-wide approach to this problem.Conclusion. In the process of formation of market structures in the transformational economy of Ukraine, the task is to ensure positive changes at all levels of the industrial complex based on their market regulation.A new economic and ecological paradigm on a global scale, based on technological power and information, will contribute to the growth of interdependence and mutual understanding in the new economy in order to preserve our planet. At the moment, a fundamentally new environmental policy of the state is needed, which would clearly define the strategy and tactics of improving relations between society, production and nature, the optimal combination of environmental and economic positions, criteria for the development of productive forces and economic and environmental production relations.

Abstract:
In construction projects it is virtually certain that there will be changes made during the course of the work, and that the owner (or design professional) and the contractor will seldom agree on the cost and schedule impact of the changes. This is particularly so on fast track construction, where design and construction are overlapped to accelerate the delivery of projects. Without a doubt, the most contentious area of impact of change orders is their effect on the productivity of the contractor's labour force. This paper presents the quantitative results of a comprehensive field investigation using 90 cases drawn from 57 different construction projects to identify the effects of change orders on productivity. The results indicate a significant direct correlation between the labour component of change orders and the loss of productivity, for both civil/architectural and electrical/mechanical works. These losses are exacerbated by the added presence of other major causes of productivity losses such as acceleration and inadequate scheduling and coordination. Regression models are developed for the direct estimation of productivity losses due to change orders, incurred both independently and in conjunction with other major causes of productivity loss. Key words: construction, productivity, change orders, contemplated changes, impact cost, quantitative models.

Abstract:
Defined as a single enterprise community, Flin Flon's development was largely dictated by the policy of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company Ltd. In its formative stage, the H.B.M.&S. assumed responsibility for both industrial and community expansion, but as the opportunity arose, the Company divested itself of community oriented projects. By 1946, when Flin Flon was granted town status, the Company has largely removed itself from direct involvement in community affairs. This evolving tendency on the part of the H.B.M.&S. to separate industrial and community interest corresponded to the fulfillment of labour needs. Essentially, Company participation in community development was directly related to labour supply, so much so, that when H.B.M.&.S finally perceived a guaranteed labour force, it withdrew from community affairs.

Abstract:
Among European transition economies and the CIS, Russia is the largest country and has the most important endowment of natural resources, well-educated labour force, and large potential market. Paradoxically, Russia is one of the least attractive host countries in this region. This situation may generate a risk of economic marginalization. Our main task is to develop our understanding of FDI in Russia by asking a main question: Why is Russia an exception in the context of FDI globalization? Is Russia willing to stay outside the general trend of fierce competition for FDI and able to developed endogenously sustainable growth?

Abstract:
Abstract Many construction projects today are planned and managed using computer technology. An integral part of the management of these projects is sophisticated software, which includes statistical probabilistic methods. The main task in this area is direct verification of the validity of planned labour productivity values during the construction process according to the recorded average performance values. Using selected statistical methods and analyses, a case study can document this type of undertaking, for example, in a selected masonry process in which the upper and lower limits of performance, i.e. the optimistic and pessimistic bounds, may be calculated with 95% probability. Evaluation of these performance parameters in the construction software used for this study showed a difference in time of 11 days at the end of the process. The figures indicated a 9.6% and 14.3% decrease in labour productivity, respectively, for the optimistic and pessimistic values compared to the construction software ’ s planned values. Repeated evaluation of performance can aid in improving labour productivity and attaining project milestones and subsequent construction deadlines during the construction process. This paper aims to confirm or refute this theoretical balance using probabilistic statistical methods and to emphasize the importance of statistical analysis in the real construction process with the use of the software.

Abstract:
Introduction. Insufficient competitiveness of Russia is one of the key problems constraining scientific, technological, social and economic development of the country. Scientific interest is the formation of youth competitiveness as the special social and demographic group having a strategic importance for the country. In the course of population competitiveness formation, the leading place is taken by an education system and professional education.The aim of the present publication was to scientifically judge modern professional education system aspects directed to formation of a competitive orientation and competitiveness of the younger generation. The sociological research described in the article is devoted to studying of practical application of the competencies received in institutions of professional education by working youth before their admission to employment.Methodology and research methods. The review and synthesis of scientific sources content corresponding to the announced subject and research problems were performed at theoretical stage of the research. In the course of empirical stage, social questionnaire survey was conducted among the working youth (N=956). Acquired data were processed using the license version of the SPSS programme. In addition, the selective secondary (comparative) analysis of social science research, conducted by Russian and foreign scientists, was applied.Results and scientific novelty. The issues of formation of competitive orientation and competitiveness, competitive competencies of the personality are considered according to social standpoints. It is noted that the higher the education level of the respondent is, the more positive the self-assessment of his or her competitiveness is. The working young people with the higher education show the highest level of self-assessment of competitiveness. Certain characteristics of modern youth, influencing on modernisation of institutions of professional education, are disclosed. Today, the main task of students is the acquisition of skills of orientation and navigation in the information flow and space of powerful socio-cultural transformations. Therefore, the education system is forced to be reconstructed for preparation of holders of complex knowledge and competencies, generators of newideas and projects. Consequently, there is the demand for the development of individual educational programmes and modules, freedom of access for students to new resources and technologies, change of functions and competencies of pedagogical workers.The conclusion is drawn that the assessment of own competitiveness acts as the defining factor of the relation to the chosen field of occupation. The respondents focused in the labour sphere on competitive strategy more often recognise insufficiency of knowledge and competencies received by them during the learning process in educational institution. The direct consequence and the indicator of high level of competitiveness is high income level of young specialists. The working young people, who consider themselves competitive, note more often: satisfaction with their occupation; compliance of the work responsibilities with the profession obtained; availability of several professions. The representatives of this category of respondents consider their professional choice as the right and final, characterising themselves as executive, efficient and prospective employees.Practical significance. The undertaken research enriches sociological theory with new knowledge on competitiveness of young people. The materials of the research can be applied in the system of education to design the recommendations on formation and development of necessary qualities in the studying youth. Moreover, the outcomes of the present research can be useful for the heads and administrators of organisations and enterprises, who are engaged in successful professional adaptation of young employees.

Abstract:
Abstract The goal of this study was to look into the aspects that influence green building project management and to figure out what factors contribute to the best results. The inquiry was intended to look into the characteristics that contribute to project success in green building. Questionnaires were gathered from environmental people, construction personnel, and legal personnel groups, all of whom were involved in the administration of green building projects. Staff factors, material elements, monetary variables, administrative variables, and eco-productivity factors were all examined and variables were prioritized using the Relative Importance Index (RII). After a thorough analysis of the factors that influence the management of green development projects, the findings were divided into five categories for the first and second most essential variables. For the labour force perspective, disposition toward the project and task comprehension were two independent driving factors. Productivity and cost were the main drivers from a material standpoint. The cost increase and change in development were the driving drivers from a monetary standpoint. From an administrative standpoint, the driving factors were the related document, the endorsement cycle, and the government’s recognition of venture members. This paper shows the material reuse capacity increase and decrease in assets utilization which were the driving elements in this work, focused on eco-effectiveness.

Abstract:
The text discusses inclusion and social engagement in art, which are central to my practice. My projects operate at the interface between dialogical education and participatory as well as collective art making. By referring to Kester’s critique of New Labour policies of the late 1990s as leading to a de-radicalized Marxism I argue for an agonistic method that I connect with the idea of ‘radical inclusion’ as a strategic approach to democratization. The problem of Austrian history politics and how the country created the myth of Austria as the first victim of Nazi Germany is the main focus of my intervention at the Peace Cross St. Lorenz in Lower Austria, which serves as an example of my artistic practice of ‘radical inclusion’. The peace cross exists since the 1960s and is celebrating the Jockisch task force. Contemporary historical research has revealed that this combat group was actively involved in war crimes during the Second World War. To counter the myth of an innocent Wehrmacht I mounted in front of the cross a photomontage made in 1933 by the antifascist artist John Heartfield. Additionally, the memorial is augmented by five signboards which present collages produced by local school pupils during a workshop that took place over a period of six months.

Abstract:
Addressing anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been a major policy priority of New Labour since it came to power in 1997. This is reflected in a series of legislative powers enabling a range of agencies to take legal action to tackle ASB (e.g. Crime and Disorder Act 1998; Police Reform Act 2002; Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003; Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005) and in a number of national policy initiatives (e.g. the Home Office ‘Together’ Campaign, 2003; the Respect Action Plan, 2006; the Youth Task Force Action Plan, 2007). These developments are the subject of a growing body of academic analysis and critique, much of which has focused on the use of the ASB powers in the regulation of particular neighbourhoods and communities, especially social housing areas of predominantly White working-class residents (Burney, 2005; Flint, 2006), and of young people, again mostly White and working class (Squires and Stephen, 2005). Specific service or practice developments arising out of ASB policy have also been analysed, for example, Family Intervention Projects (Nixon et al., 2006, 2008), Anti-Social Behaviour Teams (Prior et al., 2006), and the use of ASBOs (Squires, 2006; Matthews et al., 2007) and Dispersal Orders (Crawford and Lister, 2007).

Abstract:
Agrotourism promotes not only countryside development, but also development of region as a whole. However, nothing can happen of itself, so every movement needs a push. And this is truly for agrotourism. The state has the means to support activities in the field of rural tourism, and particularly agrotourism. Thus, it can and should be a driving force. State support is reflected in the existing normative legal acts, regulating these types of tourism activity, as well as in the creation of new programs and projects for the development of rural areas. Unfortunately, the legal restrictions that appear on the basis of existing laws interfere with full realization of the state support programs. For example, only legal entity, having financial security, liability insurance, able to follow the cultural and environmental side of its activity, can be engaged in agrotourism. Today this fact hampers the development of this type of tourism. Therefore, in the near future, regulatory and legal framework for this and other similar issues should be settled. In addition to the direct support of agrotourism activities, an important task of government programs is to engage entrepreneurs, especially among rural people, in this activity.

"in the Limpopo valley harvest labour was needed for rice production at the agro-industrial complexes at the same time that the peasants needed to harvest their own plots. The colonial settlers had relied on force and on the use of task work to cope with this. Hence, the peasants would start very early in the morning to harvest a designated area at the settler farms and subsequently move on to their family plots. The wage would supplement the income and subsistence acquired from the family plot. However, when the state farms tried to introduce an eight-hour working day (instead of task work), they experi-enced an immense withdrawal of labour when it was most needed. The wage did not cover the consumption needs of a family throughout the year and, increasingly, money did not guarantee access to goods or did so only at the cost of accepting catastrophic reduction in the real wage. Similar shortage problems of labour were experienced in the plantation sectors, in food pro-duction in state complexes of Angonia or Zambezia, on cotton farms in the north, etc. The co-operative movement, which was never very strong since it had never received the effective material backing of the state, was further weakened by the fact that the development of parallel markets within the rural economy enfeebled the poorer peasantry even further. The latter would have to be the social force to be mobilised behind the co-operative movement; rather, it became economically weakened as a result of its rapidly deteriorating real incomes and the fact that the existing co-operative movement provided no real alternative. The government policy to link up purchase with sale so as to stimulate rural production did nothing to counteract this process of differen-tiation but, rather, tended to intensify it. Indeed, rural trade between the state and the peasantry was intermediated by private trade. The policy gave them an increased leverage over the peasantry and allowed them to channel more crops into the parallel markets since they effectively traded at terms of exchange which were less favourable than those laid down officially. Furthermore, the impact was that the supply of com-modities became concentrated in the hands of the richer peasantry (who had surpluses to sell) and this gave them leverage over the poorer peasantry. Finally, this process did not take place within conditions of peace but, rather, within an ever-spreading war situation. The South African-backed MNR was gradually spreading throughout the whole country and its acts of brutal oppression of the population and of sabotage and destruction of the whole network of social and economic infrastructure led to the increased destabilisation of the economy and society. To combat this force, a strong alliance between the army and the peasantry was necessary. But this alliance itself became weakened by the worsening of the economic situation of the peasantry. Economic investment was concentrated in bis projects within the state sector and these became the target of MNR attacks. On the other hand, the destabilis-ing effect of the concentration of resources on the state sector and of off-loading the burden of the costs on to the peasantry through the inflationary issue of money, unbacked by material resources, weakened the peasantry economically and intensified processes of differentiation. At the time of the preparation for the Fourth Congress it was not surprising." In The Agrarian Question in Socialist Transitions, 209. Routledge, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203043493-32.

Abstract:
Abstract With capability training becoming ever important, our Pilot in-house developed and run program during COVID-19 delivered a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem which enabled participants to develop their digital skills and competencies. The digital learning journey empowered Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) staff to become ambassadors working in collaboration to enable their department digital plans. Building on international best practices, uplifting our engineers to become data scientists will drive direct business value in an efficient decentralized manner and cater for the ever-growing demand for digital transformation. As PDO embarks into the digital world, the program offered participants customized learning paths enabling them to utilize technology to optimize their daily operations, increase efficiency and effectiveness. Also the program enabled staff to get hands-on exposure to digital projects and what other companies in the sector add a practicing in the space of digital transformation. Hence, participants have built the required digital muscle and competencies to drive PDO digital agenda and bring value to the business. With the vision of promoting and pioneering our talent and organization as future ready, the program played a vital role in reshaping PDO's image in coping with the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VOCA) working environment. The program started as a pilot project covering a specific number of PDO staff to build their digital competencies and experiment with various learning paths and tools. Also, the program focused on on-boarding their managers into the program to fully understand the added value of launching a 19 week program with diverse approaches to build their staff's skills. Moreover, one of the key goals of the pilot project is to test various mentorship and coaching approaches to ensure higher completion rates from all participants and cater for their technical challenges. As PDO working towards corporate digital strategy, the program is paving the way to build a robust training and competency framework, a task force capable of driving change and forward looking plans. With the successful results of the pilot, replication of the methodology and maturing the program is now being taken by PDO Information technology department to corporately build digital muscle within PDO value chain. As a result of participants' first pilot project and implementation posts evaluation assessment, the management endorsed the launch of cohort 2 for the program tackling a bigger number of staff and expanding the range of competencies to tackle in the areas of data science, machine learning and personal intelligence. One of the key learnings which was implemented in cohort 2, is building a comprehensive stakeholder map and alignment plans to ensure the right path of corporate scale beyond and benefit a bigger audience within the corporate. For example, multiple workshops and engagement sessions have been done with PDO Learning Academy and technical coaches in different departments to match the outcomes from cohort 2 and the aspiration of PDO building digital competency framework. In addition, PDO digital competency development program has aspired to build an ecosystem within the organization and in collaboration with external stakeholders like universities, e-learning platforms and technical partners to ensure sustainability of such initiatives and their scalability beyond PDO. The program sparked many conversations within the ecosystem to build collaborative teams and joint task force to investigate how we can build digital competencies for our staff and as well for startups to encourage growth from various aspects.
