Abstract. The purpose of the research is to comprehensively assess the resource potential of agricultural organizations in the Kurgan region to form the trajectory of their development and determine the contribution to agricultural production in the region. Methods. The study was based on the use of statistical and econometric methods for collecting, processing, modeling data. It is based on the assessment of the use of the following functional components of the resource potential: land, material and technical, personnel, innovation and financial. At the same time, the dynamic assessment for each subspecies of the resource potential gives an idea of the trend in the volume and level of resource use, and the stochastic assessment – to identify the relationship between the indicators of resource investment and their return. Results. The presented assessment of the existing relationships between the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the resource potential and its subspecies indicate, on the one hand, an acute shortage of certain types of resources, and, on the other hand, an increasing intensity of their use without a proportional level of return. The study allows us to conclude that it is necessary to develop levers for managing the resource potential of agricultural organizations based on the symbiosis of the needs of agricultural producers and the territory in which they operate. Scientific novelty. The research methodology allows combining several methods of assessing (dynamic and stochastic) in achieving the final result, as well as assessing the elasticity between the general level of resource productivity of agricultural organizations and indicators of the efficiency of using the main types of resources. This approach makes it possible to form a sequence of actions to ensure an increase in the level of development and use of the resource potential of agricultural organizations.

Currently, it is necessary to know the content of bioactive compounds, one of them is the antioxidant capacity of food, which has nutritional importance and functional properties, since these components are natural and play an important role in the prevention and treatment of several diseases, including cancer. Therefore, the objective of the investigation was to determine the nutritional quality and the relationship between the color intensity of the perigonium and the antioxidant capacity of the Chenopodium pallidicaule (Ch. pallidicaule). As material of study, we used four accessions of Ch. pallidicaule with perigonia of defined colors such as light yellow, orange, purple and black. We developed the physical-chemical analyzes and the grain functional components in the Agroindustrial Engineering Laboratories of the National University of Altiplano Puno, and in the Laboratory of Chromatography and Spectrometry of the San Antonio de Abad National University of Cusco. The results were submitted to Pearson's correlation analysis, and they show that the flavonoid indices with the perigonium color intensity values express significant positive correlation. In addition, the antioxidant capacity equivalent to Trolox was significantly different between the perigonium color intensities, where the accession with black perigonium turns out to be the one that reached the highest value (5g eq. Trolox/100g sample). We conclude that the color of the perigonium exhibited antioxidant capacity, which kept a direct correlation with the flavonoid content.

Abstract. Purpose. The article tests the methodology of determining an integral indicator of the resource potential of agricultural organizations of the Kurgan region in the context of districts. Based on the results obtained, internal and external threats were systematized according to the functional components of the resource potential, which will make it possible to develop the right set of actions to overcome or level them, as well as the need to find new approaches to increasing investment attractiveness, especially in rural areas. The purpose of the proposed methodology is to assess resource potential, identify threats and determine investment-attractive territories by the types of investments attracted (private, public). Methodology and methods. The methodology is based on the assessment of the following types of functional components of the resource potential: land, labor, material, innovative, financial. For each type, a system of indicators was selected that reflect the state and effectiveness of their functioning. In order to avoid accidental fluctuations, a sample of indicators for 3 years was made with subsequent averaging. Each indicator system undergoes a normalization procedure. All this makes it possible to bring the system of heterogeneous indicators to a single foundation, and, therefore, makes it possible to integrate their influences. Taking into account the significance of each indicator participating in the calculation, an integral assessment is formed for each group of indicators, and then, by simple summation, an integral indicator of the resource potential. Results and scope. The methodology was tested according to the annual reporting of agricultural organizations of the Kurgan region. The sample was made for three years in the regions of the region. The calculations make it possible to arrange the territories according to the level of resource potential and its functional components. Moreover, the methodology allows you to identify the weakest aspects of resource potential, and, therefore, to correctly develop a set of measures to eliminate threats and determine investment-attractive territories by the types of investments attracted (private, public). Scientific novelty. The advantage of this approach is the ability to determine the level of resource potential of both an individual business entity and a certain territory. Moreover, the system of indicators included in the model may vary depending on the purpose of the study, the composition of the functional components. The mathematical tools used, the information base make the technique available for use, conducting analytical studies.

The objective of the study is to build an optimization model that will allow finding the most effective combinations of resource potential to maximize the final result in the conditions of limited resources. In the course of the research the following methods and techniques were used: abstract-logical (in generalizing the theoretical and methodological approaches to defining the notion of resource potential), comparative (analysis of the current state and identifying the tendencies of development of the phenomena under study), graphical (graphic depiction of dependencies), method of economic and mathematical modeling (for building a model of optimization of resource potential of an enterprise). The article investigates the essence of the concept of "resource potential" and develops a methodology for determining the effect of the implementation of management activities. Methodological bases of construction and principles of action of the mechanism of stimulation of managers and specialists of agricultural enterprise are based on the definition of "additional profit" as the difference between the "real" profit of the enterprise and its "conditional" value, i.e. the one that would be received by the enterprise in its resource potential if it was used correctly. It is proved that the available financial resources of the enterprise were used irrationally. Taking into account the structure and qualitative composition of production resources, it is confirmed that increase of the level of profitability of agricultural enterprises is possible due to optimal distribution of resource potential. An economic and mathematical model is proposed, the result of which is the optimization of limited production resources of agricultural producers. It is proved that in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to apply an effective system of incentives for managerial staff. The measures proposed in the study will be optimal, taking into account the production of all types of agricultural products, the use of existing production resources, the planned costs for the production of a unit of each type of product and its sale price.

The paper presents the results of research related to the examination of the relationship between education that adults undertake in their free time, on the one hand, and the scope, degree and manner in which they self-affirm in their leisure time on the other. By self-affirmation we mean the realization or actualization of oneself as a single being through the degree of satisfaction of various needs relevant from the point of view of personality integration. The notion of self-affirmation understood in this way, viewed in the context of leisure time, represents a constituent of the quality of leisure time in adulthood. Specifically, this paper presents the results related to the examination of the general level of the self-affirmation in leisure time, as well as the contribution of educational activities to self-affirmation in leisure time. The most significant of them advocate the existence of a universal need for self-affirmation in leisure time. More specifically, they concern self-affirmation in the context, of emotional well-being, commitment to the activities, in which adults choose to engage themselves in their leisure time and creativity. According to the dimensions of self-affirmation, the largest number of surveyed participants of educational activites is self-affirmed in the in the cognitive, yet the smallest number, in the emotional sence.

The Relationship

The article challenges the hypothesis that there is cohabitation of civic engagement and democratic institutions and practices. While valid at a general level, the relationship is not confirmed once it is scrutinized thoroughly and heterogeneous categories are disaggregated. For the European post-Communist cases, the pattern of the relationship between the regime type and the propensity to associate closely resembles the one in Latin mature democracies and non-authoritarian countries, provided that voluntary associations are chosen as measurements of vitality of social capital and robustness of civil society. A possible consequence of this provocative finding would be re-evaluating the well-established concepts in social sciences.

The first chapter of Hieroglyphic Modernisms exposes the complex history of Western misconceptions of Egyptian writing from antiquity to the present. Hieroglyphs bridge the gap between modern technologies and the ancient past, looking forward to the rise of new media and backward to the dispersal of languages in the mythical moment of the Tower of Babel. The contradictory ways in which hieroglyphs were interpreted in the West come to shape the differing ways that modernist writers and filmmakers understood the relationship between writing, film, and other new media. On the one hand, poets like Ezra Pound and film theorists like Vachel Lindsay and Sergei Eisenstein use the visual languages of China and of Egypt as a more primal or direct alternative to written words. But Freud, Proust, and the later Eisenstein conversely emphasize the phonetic qualities of Egyptian writing, its similarity to alphabetical scripts. The chapter concludes by arguing that even avant-garde invocations of hieroglyphics depend on narrative form through an examination of Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Zorns Lemma.

Opening Up

This paper considers the relationship between social science and the food industry, and it suggests that collaboration can be intellectually productive and morally rewarding. It explores the middle ground that exists between paid consultancy models of collaboration on the one hand and a principled stance of nonengagement on the other. Drawing on recent experiences of researching with a major food retailer in the UK, I discuss the ways in which collaborating with retailers can open up opportunities for accessing data that might not otherwise be available to social scientists. Additionally, I put forward the argument that researchers with an interest in the sustainability—ecological or otherwise—of food systems, especially those of a critical persuasion, ought to be empirically engaging with food businesses. I suggest that this is important in terms of generating better understandings of the objectionable arrangements that they seek to critique, and in terms of opening up conduits through which to affect positive changes. Cutting across these points is the claim that while resistance to commercial engagement might be misguided, it is nevertheless important to acknowledge the power-geometries of collaboration and to find ways of leveling and/or leveraging them. To conclude, I suggest that universities have an important institutional role to play in defining the terms of engagement as well as maintaining the boundaries between scholarship and consultancy—a line that can otherwise become quite fuzzy when the worlds of commerce and academic research collide.

The main objective of this paper was to estimate and analyse transition-probability matrices for all 16 of Poland’s NUTS-2 level regions (voivodeship level). The analysis is conducted in terms of the transitions among six expenditure classes (per capita and per equivalent unit), focusing on poverty classes. The period of analysis was two years: 2015 and 2016. The basic aim was to identify both those regions in which the probability of staying in poverty was the highest and the general level of mobility among expenditure classes. The study uses a two-year panel sub-sample of unidentified unit data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO), specifically the data concerning household budget surveys. To account for differences in household size and demographic structure, the study used expenditures per capita and expenditures per equivalent unit simultaneously. To estimate the elements of the transition matrices, a classic maximum-likelihood estimator was used. The analysis used Shorrocks’ and Bartholomew’s mobility indices to assess the general mobility level and the Gini index to assess the inequality level. The results show that the one-year probability of staying in the same poverty class varies among regions and is lower for expenditures per equivalent units. The highest probabilities were identified in Podkarpackie (expenditures per capita) and Opolskie (expenditures per equivalent unit), and the lowest probabilities in Kujawsko-Pomorskie (expenditures per capita) and Małopolskie (expenditures per equivalent unit). The highest level of general mobility was noted in Małopolskie, for both categories of expenditures.

The Relationship

The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the relationship between the degree of aggregate labour-intensity and the aggregate volume of saving in an economy where a Cobb-6ouglas production function in its traditional form can be assumed to give a good approximation to reality. The relationship in ques¬tion has an obviously important bearing on economic development policy in the area of choice of labour intensity. To the extent that and in the range where an increase in labour intensity would adversely affect the volume of savings, a con¬flict arises between two important social objectives, i.e., higher rate of capital formation on the one hand and greater employment and distributive equity on the other. If relative resource endowments in the economy are such that such a "competitive" range of labour-intensity falls within the nation's attainable range of choice, development planners will have to arrive at a compromise between these two social goals.

The Relationship

In the introduction to his great work of 2005, Framing the Early Middle Ages, Chris Wickham urged not only the necessity of carefully framing our studies at the outset but also the importance of closely defining the words and concepts that we employ, the avoidance ‘cultural sollipsism’ wherever possible and the need to pay particular attention to continuities and discontinuities. Chris has, of course, followed these precepts on a vast scale. My aim in this chapter is a modest one. I aim to review the framing of thirteenth-century England in terms of two only of Chris’s themes: the aristocracy and the state—and even then primarily in terms of the relationship between the two. By the thirteenth century I mean a long thirteenth century stretching from the period of the Angevin reforms of the later twelfth century on the one hand to the early to mid-fourteenth on the other; the reasons for taking this span will, I hope, become clearer during the course of the chapter, but few would doubt that it has a validity.
