OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCE POTENTIAL AS A STRATEGIC DIRECTION OF ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

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.

In vol. vi. of the Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie (1890), pp. 16–36, Nernst demonstrates the relation between the osmotic pressure of a given solution of N in A and the difference of concentration of two solutions of A in B, the one made by shaking up B with A and the other by shaking up B with the solution of N in A; where A and B are two liquids miscible with each other, but not in all proportions, as, for instance, water and ether, and N a substance soluble in A but not in B. Immediately after this paper, Nernst describes (l.c., pp. 37–40) an osmotic experiment in which the “semipermeable membrane” is a layer of the liquid B held in its place by capillarity. Through this layer no N can pass, because N is insoluble in B, but A will pass from what we may call the A side, on account of the concentration gradient, the layer of B containing more A dissolved in it on the A side than on the solution side. At the same time a pressure is developed on the solution side equal to the osmotic pressure of the solution of N.So far as the diffusion of A through the layer of B from the A side to the solution side is concerned, Nernst's experiment can be shown without fixing the layer of B. In the form exhibited to the Society, A is water, B phenol, and N calcium nitrate.

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.

The place and value of reserves for future expenses and payments in the enterprise capital are defined in this paper. Possibilities and expediency of providing certain types of expenses at the expense of pre-created reserves are considered. The specified definition of reserves as a component of the enterprise capital which are considered as reserved at the expense of additional owners contributions , profit, prime cost of the source for coverage of the future predicted or unpredicted expenses connected with maintenance of usual activity, its restructuring, distribution of expenses by the principles of prudence and compliance. It is proved that these principles are unreasonably removed by the latest legislation from the basic principles of accounting and financial reporting. Classification of reserves, the order of their formation and directions of their use are given in this paper. Reserves are classified into separate groups according to the sources of their formation, the directions of use, the obligation to create, the method of reflection in accounting and reporting, their participation in the enterprise capital. Particular attention is paid to the need of taking into account the hidden reserves. Their value is equal to the difference between the book value of the enterprise's property and its fair value. The order of recognition, documentation and reflection of accrual and use of reserves and other provisions in the accounting is specified. The following rrecommendations are given, on the one hand, to expand and deepen information in financial and other kinds of enterprise reporting concerning reserves as a component of enterprise capital, on the other - to simplify the accounting of reserved sources by additional unregistered contributions of participants, founders. The order of distribution and reflection in the accounting of reserves at withdrawal of separate participants from the company is specified. Recommendations concerning the recognition of accumulated resources for future liabilities by insurance reserves and their reflection in the composition of the enterprise own composition, making it possible to improve the economic performance, investment attractiveness of such entities are given.

The problem of the research lies in the difference of scholars on Murad al-Hakim in his saying: “On the condition of the two sheikhs or one of them.” Thus, the research aimed to study the attribution of (8) hadiths from Al-Mustadrak to Al-Saheehain, a critical and applied study, in order to reach the extent of the degree of the hadith and its men with al-Hakim statement on The condition of the two sheikhs or one of them, and the statement of the scholars ’statements on the degree and validity of the hadith, if any, and its compatibility with the ruling of al-Hakim, and reaching a final ruling on the degree of the hadith. The researcher followed the deductive, applied, critical approach by graduating the hadith, then translating the narrators from the books of wound and modification, mentioning the rulings of critics - ancient and contemporary - to the hadith as a basis and reflection, and mentioned the provisions of Al-Dhahabi and then discussing al-Hakim, and ended with the researcher’s weighting, according to the rules of the speakers. The research is from an introduction. The prelude to the definition of al-Hakim and his book, and two chapters; the first dealt with the conditions of the two sheikhs in their books and al-Hakim wanted al-Hakim them in three sections, while the second included: the practical study of the number of (8) hadiths, which al-Hakim judged them to be on the condition of the two sheikhs or one of them, according to the one who is being held, in addition to Conclusion and indexes .. The results of the research showed that Murad al-Hakim said: “On the condition of the two sheikhs, or one of them,” in the course of it, it is divided into sections. The first of which are the hadiths that al-Hakim brought out with the foundations of Hajj Bukhari and Muslim with their narratives in their correct, or one of them, and here al-Hakim says about him: (Al-Bukhari or Muslim) “It is correct, and there is a second section. Hadiths that al-Hakim passes and ruled on health on the condition of the two sheikhs or one of them, while some of its narrators did not come out to them by the two sheikhs and neither of them protested, but rather they gave them to them - in evidence, follow-up and suspensions, so al-Hakim made a mistake in His ruling on these hadiths, and a third section; al-Hakim produces and corrects hadiths, and for Be not on the condition of the two sheikhs, nor one of them, then it becomes clear that the hadith is authentic according to what al-Hakim said - may God have mercy on him. According to the results, the researcher recommended that there is no absolute confidence in the hadith, as soon as al-Hakim is corrected, although most of what is correct is correct.

The least visible of human trafficking is the one that is carried out for labour exploitation purposes. The aim here is to focus on two different needs: first, finding an accurate definition of forced labour, that encompass controversial questions, such as the meaning of clauses as “coercion” and “abuse of a position of vulnerability”, and the difference between human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation and forced labour; and second, identifying causes of human trafficking for labour exploitation. The article tries to put forward proposals regarding the best way of making these phenomena more visible and effectively combating them.

Abstract. The article discusses the emergence of a functional literacy construct and the rediscovery of illiteracy in industrialized countries during the second half of the 20th century. It offers a short explanation of how the construct evolved over time. In addition, it explores how functional (il)literacy is conceived differently by research discourses of cognitive and neural studies, on the one hand, and by prescriptive and normative international policy documents and adult education, on the other hand. Furthermore, it analyses how literacy skills surveys such as the Level One Study (leo.) or the PIAAC may help to bridge the gap between cognitive and more practical and educational approaches to literacy, the goal being to place the functional illiteracy (FI) construct within its existing scale levels. It also sheds more light on the way in which FI can be perceived in terms of different cognitive processes and underlying components of reading. By building on the previous work of other authors and previous definitions, the article brings together different views of FI and offers a perspective for a needed operational definition of the concept, which would be an appropriate reference point for future educational, political, and scientific utilization.

SummaryIn 4 collaborative trials, involving a varying number of hospital laboratories in the Stockholm area, the coagulation activity of different test materials was estimated with the one-stage prothrombin tests routinely used in the laboratories, viz. Normotest, Simplastin-A and Thrombotest. The test materials included different batches of a lyophilized reference plasma, deep-frozen specimens of diluted and undiluted normal plasmas, and fresh and deep-frozen specimens from patients on long-term oral anticoagulant therapy.Although a close relationship was found between different methods, Simplastin-A gave consistently lower values than Normotest, the difference being proportional to the estimated activity. The discrepancy was of about the same magnitude on all the test materials, and was probably due to a divergence between the manufacturers’ procedures used to set “normal percentage activity”, as well as to a varying ratio of measured activity to plasma concentration. The extent of discrepancy may vary with the batch-to-batch variation of thromboplastin reagents.The close agreement between results obtained on different test materials suggests that the investigated reference plasma could be used to calibrate the examined thromboplastin reagents, and to compare the degree of hypocoagulability estimated by the examined PIVKA-insensitive thromboplastin reagents.The assigned coagulation activity of different batches of the reference plasma agreed closely with experimentally obtained values. The stability of supplied batches was satisfactory as judged from the reproducibility of repeated measurements. The variability of test procedures was approximately the same on different test materials.

This chapter examines the difference between John Locke's definition of a person [P], considered as a kind of thing, and his definition of a subject of experience of a certain sophisticated sort [S]. It first discusses the equation [P] = [S], where [S] is assumed to be a continuing thing that is able to survive radical change of substantial realization, as well as Locke's position about consciousness in relation to [P]'s identity or existence over time as [S]. It argues that Locke is not guilty of circularity because he is not proposing consciousness as the determinant of [S]'s identity over time, but only of [S]'s moral and legal responsibility over time. Finally, it suggests that the terms “Person” and “Personal identity” pull apart, in Locke's scheme of things, but in a perfectly coherent way.

Bibliographic Study

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomenon known as “anglicism”: a loan made to the English language by another language. Anglicism arose either from the adoption of an English word as a result of a translation defect despite the existence of an equivalent term in the language of the speaker, or from a wrong translation, as a word-by-word translation. Said phenomenon is very common nowadays and most languages of the world including making use of some linguistic concepts such as anglicism, neologism, syntax, morphology etc, this article addresses various aspects related to Anglicisms in French through a bibliographic study: the definition of Anglicism, the origin of Anglicisms in French and the current situation, the areas most affected by Anglicism, the different categories of Anglicism, the difference between French Anglicism in France and French-speaking Canada, the attitude of French-speaking society towards to the Anglicisms and their efforts to stop this phenomenon. The study shows that the areas affected are, among others, trade, travel, parliamentary and judicial institutions, sports, rail, industrial production and most recently film, industrial production, sport, oil industry, information technology, science and technology. Various initiatives have been implemented either by public institutions or by individuals who share concerns about the increasingly felt threat of the omnipresence of Anglicism in everyday life.
