Global and crisis transformations result in structural and functional changes in the tourism system, which combines resource potential, infrastructure, tourism entities, institutional structures, and consumers. For Ukraine, with its high tourist potential, tourism development is a significant factor after the crisis recovery of the economy. Overcoming the disparities in the tourism system functioning, shaping optimal business models of its development, increasing the sustainability and efficiency of the tourism entities functioning impose an objective need for investment. Investment attractiveness is one of the key characteristics causing the investor’s interest in financing the project, including the tourist one.The essence, determinants of influence and characteristic features of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian tourism system are substantiated. The investment attractiveness of the tourism system is proposed to be considered as a complex feature of conditions and advantages that form its ability to attract investment resources based on the availability of their needs, unique tourist potential, favorable environment for ensuring the efficient functioning of the tourism system and guaranteeing the investor profit and reduced risks of investing.The article considers basic preconditions to form the investment attractiveness of the tourism system, which include unique strategic opportunities, to shape a favorable institutional environment and provide a background for an investor concerned and a system of guaranteeing the expected result.Given the need for complex consideration of the tourism system’s investment attractiveness, a methodology based on the calculation of integrated indicators for estimating the effectiveness and prospects for the development of tourism systems in the Ukrainian regions is used. In the method considered, it is proposed to take into account not only financial aspects, but also the resource potential, its development level, the growth rates of tourism entities activities, and the prospects for the tourism system development. In general, indicators and criteria for the tourism system investment attractiveness are classified into four groups: the efficiency of investment, the effectiveness of the tourism system development, the prospects for the tourism system development, the environment and the potential for its development.According to the method developed, the integral indicator of investment attractiveness of the tourism systems of Ukrainian regions has been calculated, and the regions are differentiated according to the level of investment attractiveness. Estimation of the investment attractiveness of Ukrainian tourism systems allows to determine their rating, differentiate them according to the maturity level of complementary preconditions to form and develop tourist potential and serves as a basis for potential investors in investment decisions-making.Using the results of determining the level of investment attractiveness of tourism systems of Ukraine’s regions over time will help identify trends, and, accordingly, serve as a guide for potential investors in strategic proposition space of regions which are investment recipients.

The debate over corporate objectives and how companies deal with amplified existing societal inequalities and vulnerabilities has received increasing attention in recent years, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic encouraged companies and policy makers to consider ways to develop a more enabling institutional environment, not only to tackle the ongoing crisis but also to prepare for similar future tests. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the significance and effectiveness of ex ante corporate social responsibility (CSR) law approaches in tackling the challenges brought by the pandemic. We investigate the uniqueness of the sustainable development challenges in the era of the pandemic, and introduce “corporate social competence” as a compliance principle in response to the need for forward-looking approaches to risk management and strategic planning. We use two ex ante legislative approaches in company law, namely mandatory CSR policy and legally recognised inclusive business models, as examples to illuminate the contribution of company law to navigate the pandemic beyond philanthropic CSR actions.

Introduction: High demands of modern social environment to the child’s individual development are connected with their health decline and wide variation of individual capabilities. Because of such inconsistency decreased functional abilities are being observed in preschoolers. It leads mainly to health problems and developmental disorders. Body adaptive properties are considered to be the integral indicator of health. Researches find high prevalence of the lack of adaptation among children of different age groups which might lead to low quality of life.Aim of the study: The aim of the research was to estimate preschooler’s cardiovascular system functioning and the adaptation abilities based on the examples of children from Tarnopol, Ukraine.Material and methods: 170 healthy preschoolers were among the participants of the research. Anthropometry and the assessment of some hemodynamic parameters were performed to draw conclusions about the level of their cardiovascular capacity.Results: Only 54.7% of the examined children reflect the satisfactory level of cardiovascular system adaptation. The deviations mainly result from high BMI, Rate Pressure Product and abnormal reaction of the autonomic nervous system after a squatting test.Conclusions: Simple noninvasive methods (functional changes index, pulse rate and blood pressure and the indicator of arteries’ pressure) help to identify children with reduced circulatory response to stress and physical burden.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the business model of techno parks (TPs) in Turkey and shed light on the value co-creation in TPs in the light of the service perspective and stakeholder theory. Design/methodology/approach In this conceptual paper, a generic business model canvas for Turkish TPs has been elicited based on an in-depth review of the literature. Then, the functioning of the model and the nature of value co-creation have been viewed through the lenses of service perspective and stakeholder theory, and then the relationships and flows between the components of the business model have been visualized with a dynamic model. Findings The institutional environment leads Turkish TPs to have similar business models with functional differences. The value is co-created by stakeholders in TPs and value co-creation depends on the skills, competencies and cooperative efforts of all actors involved in the functioning of the business model. Practical implications This paper provides insight for TP management companies to improve their business models, for policymakers to refine institutional framework to enable effective functioning of TPs and for stakeholders to understand their role in value co-creation. Originality/value This paper provides a dynamic framework and a model for understanding business models of TPs and the value co-creation process, which is an understudied area, especially in a developing country context. It also extends the business model and value co-creation literature in the context of TPs by integrating multiple theoretical perspectives.

AbstractApoptosis and necrosis represent distinct cell death processes that regulate mammalian development, physiology and disease. Apoptosis characteristically leads to the silent destruction and removal of cells in the absence of an inflammatory response. In contrast, necrotic cell death can induce physiologic inflammatory responses linked to tissue defense and repair. Although anucleate, platelets undergo programmed cell death, with apoptosis playing an important role in clearing effete platelets from the circulation. While it has long been recognized that procoagulant platelets exhibit characteristic features of dying cells, recent studies have demonstrated that platelet procoagulant function can occur independent of apoptosis. A growing body of evidence suggest that the biochemical, morphologic and functional changes underlying agonist-induced platelet procoagulant function are broadly consistent with cell necrosis, raising the possibility that distinct death pathways regulate platelet function and survival. In this article, we will discuss the mechanisms underlying apoptotic and necrotic cell death pathways and examine the evidence linking these pathways to the platelet procoagulant response. We will also discuss the potential contribution of these pathways to the platelet storage lesion and propose a simplified nomenclature to describe procoagulant platelets.
