The Impact

In the article, it is feasible to analyze the impact of the coronavirus on the financial sector of Ukraine as of 2021. The pandemic has become a real test both for the financial market of Ukraine and for the entire economic situation of our country. In particular, the first part analyzed the impact of the pandemic on the main macroeconomic indicators of the market. We determined that during the period from sowing to May last year, Ukraine's GDP decreased by five points, which negatively affected macroeconomic indicators and the general well-being of our population. The next one analyzed the macroeconomic indicators characterizing the state of the Ukrainian market, experienced the greatest float of COVID-19. We have determined that wages have undergone a sharp cut, which has decreased by 10% over several months. The next was the analysis of the inflation index, which increased during the quarantine period in March, but since April 2020 it has begun to file, due to the end of strict quarantine restrictions. The impact of the coronavirus on the exchange rate was also studied, which in April 2020 the dollar exchange rate began to fall, but since June we have seen its rapid growth. Next, we analyzed the NBU's foreign exchange interventions, it can be seen that in July 2020 the NBU began selling foreign currency to support the national hryvnia exchange rate. In general, during the quarantine period, the NBU sold $ 1,160,000,000 in order to support the hryvnia. Enterprises in connection with punishing them with restrictions were forced to issue stocks and bonds in order to stay afloat. As a result, we can safely say that the coronavirus epidemic had a negative impact on the financial market of Ukraine and left a "black spot" on the economy of our state. It can be concluded that the situation with the pandemic does not bode well not only for the Ukrainian market, but also for the economy as a whole, and if this virus continues to develop, the hryvnia exchange rate may collapse. To date, the consequences of the infection have caused a serious disruption in the Ukrainian economy. In this situation, one can only hope that Ukrainian exports will grow in positive dynamics, which will allow our state to receive stable financial flows in foreign currency and in accordance with strengthening its own rate.

The Impact

Increased interest from users of financial information, which is risky in nature, determines the relevance of the study of the impact of exchange rate differences on the financial risk of economic entities and their financial performance. There is the need to refine the impact of exchange rate differences on the financial risk of economic entities in the perspective of sectoral characteristics, also to determine the practical aspect of using methods of statistical analysis and to identify factors influencing the income generated in foreign currency. The study examines the impact of exchange rate differences on financial risk on the example of state stevedoring companies in Ukraine, the peculiarity of which is the settlement in foreign currency which is associated with the formation of chord rates in US dollars. It is concluded that there is a discrepancy between the US dollar exchange rate, which was included in the financial plan of state stevedoring companies, and the actual exchange rate. This fact directly affected the level of income, namely their reduction from the main activity in absolute terms. Determining the structural ratio of the impact of factors of cargo volume and the average income rate per 1 ton of cargo allowed us to establish that throughout the period there was a negative impact of the income rate factor which is formed in dollar terms. From the standpoint of the statistical analysis of the impact of the dollar on the formation of the revenue side of the financial results of state stevedoring companies of Ukraine and the results, it is proposed to take measures to reduce potential financial risks and avoid / minimize financial losses in terms of income loss, namely graphical and statistical methods based on built models, which adequately describe the dynamics of the series to select the best model for constructing forecast data; during the formation of the financial plan of the stevedoring company to take into account trends in exchange rates by conducting a more detailed analysis, for example, the general trend of exchange rates over time by the method of aggregation of intervals, moving average and analytical alignment; to apply the method of hedging future cash flows that depend on currency risks in order to reduce the propensity to risks and uncertainties associated with changes in external economic conditions for exchange rates which will minimize the negative impact and eliminate uncertainty about exchange rates in the future.

The article deals the analysis of trends in the development of the tourism sector in modern conditions, taking into account statistical information and the impact of coronavirus on the tourism industry. It is determined that the tourism industry is important for the development of the state. The article identifies trends, threats, problems, challenges, risks and subjects as the main factors in the development of tourism in Ukraine. It is noted that the further development of tourism will ensure the realization of the socio-economic potential of the state in the short and strategic perspective. Also the effective development of the tourist complex depends on the availability of modern accounting systems, statistical observation, a systematic approach to the organization of which allows meeting the needs of authorities, specialists and society as a whole in sufficient and reliable information in the field of tourism. In addition, statistical indicators are needed to develop macroeconomic indicators: consumption, spending, investment, income, employment. Over the past 70 years, tourism has become a powerful sector of the global economy. Influencing key sectors of the economy, tourism is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of socio-economic development of both individual regions and the country as a whole. But with the spread of the coronavirus, the travel industry is at risk. Analyzed statistical data on the number and cost of sold tour packages, the number of served tourists, and so on. It should be noted that during the pandemic, it was tourism that suffered more than other industries, including due to border closures, air travel bans, quarantine measures, and the like. At the same time, UNWTO underlines the historical resilience of tourism and the ability to create jobs in the aftermath of crises, while also highlighting the importance of international cooperation and ensuring that this sector becomes a central part of recovery efforts. Practical proposals for overcoming the crisis are presented, the implementation of which will reduce the level of negative impact of the consequences of the pandemic on the economy of the tourism industry in Ukraine and the main directions for improving the statistical accounting system.

The Impact

Digital technologies have changed the relationship between the society and business entities, taxpayers and the state. Ceteris paribus, the ability to effectively manage financial flows and make administrative decisions depends on the correct and established interaction between the state and taxpayers. This study aims to form and develop a taxpayer’s understanding of the digital age with all its features and opportunities for information and communication technologies, including mathematical modeling methods that form the basis of the digital economy for building and sustaining business development, improving the systemic vision of business processes. The research hypothesis is that the further development of economic entities management in the digital context, as well as the coordination of these entities’ interests, is possible only in the partnership of the key economic participants, with the taxpayer at the forefront. That will allow identifying the areas for improving tax trajectories. Using polynomial approximation, the authors have obtained the models of tax trajectories of companies that allow predicting tax burden. The data for approximations are obtained using the previously constructed mathematical model of the optimal tax path. The main input data of the model are fixed assets and human resources, the totality of which form the production function. The analysis of the transformation of tax paths shows ways for achieving a balance of interests between both the state and the taxpayers. Finding this balance will help to overcome the crisis of confidence in the authorities, the development of adaptability and creativity of Russian society to new tax changes. A number of parameters determines the scale of this task. They include the complexity of the object of study, the long-term and multi-aspect nature of the impact which modeling the digital economy has on adaptation to the new digital realities of the state and taxpayers, as well as the absence of significant analogues of the solution to this problem in global and Russian economics.

The Impact

The ongoing ‘refugee crisis’ of the past years has led to the migration of refugee researchers (RRs) to European countries. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RRs often had to work from home and/or to continue their social, cultural and economic integration process under new conditions. An online survey carried out to explore the impact of the pandemic on the refugee researchers showed that RRs found it difficult to adapt their everyday working life to the ‘home’ setting. The majority have had neither a suitable work environment at home nor the appropriate technology. Although they stated that they are rather pleased with the measures taken by the public authorities, they expressed concern about their vulnerability due to their precarious contracts and the bureaucratic asylum procedures, as the pandemic has had a negative impact on these major issues. The majority of RRs working in academia seem not to have been affected at all as far as their income is concerned, while the majority of those employed in other sectors became unemployed during the pandemic (58%). Recommendations are provided to the public authorities and policy makers to assist RRs to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic on their life.

The aim of this study was to analyze athletes’ quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 249 athletes between 15 and 35 of age, M = 21.22, SD = 5.12. The sample was composed of eight Olympic Games medalists, three European medalists, 67 international medalists, and 63 national medalists. The instruments used were: (1) COVID-19 Anxiety Scale, (2) Athlete Quality of Life Scale, (3) Impact of Pandemic on Athletes Questionnaire, and (4) International Personality Item Pool (IPIP Anxiety, Depression, and Vulnerability Scales). The results indicate significant differences in COVID-19 anxiety depending on the sport practiced, F (9239) = 3.81, p < 0.01, showing that there were significant differences between sports. The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic mediates the relationship between trait anxiety and the athletes’ quality of life. The percentage of mediation was 33.9%, and the indirect effect was −0.11, CI 95% (−0.18, −0.03), Z = −2.82, p < 0.01. Trait anxiety has an increasing effect on the intensity of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 0.23, CI 95% (.10, 0.35), Z = 3.56, p < 0.01, and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has a decreasing effect on quality of life, −0.47, CI 95% (−0.67, −0.27), Z = −4.62, p < 0.01. Gender and age did not moderate the relationship between the negative impact of COVID-19 and athletes’ quality of life. The results of the study highlighted the impact that social isolation and quarantine have on athletes’ affective well-being.

The Impact

Abstract Assuming that red tape is inevitable in institutions, and drawing on positive organizational behavior, we compare the impact of individual psychological capital on the ability of street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) with different professional backgrounds to work within the confines of red tape. The two SLB professions investigated here are nurses and local government employees; and the work outcomes of interest to this study are well-being and engagement. The findings show that red tape has a different impact on each professional group but, encouragingly, they also indicate that psychological capital has a compensatory effect. Implications include nurses requiring more psychological resources than local government employees to counteract the negative impact of red tape. A practical implication for managers is that, if perception of red tape in organizations is set to increase or to stay constant, enhancing the psychological capital of professionals in SLB roles, through specific interventions, may be beneficial to professionals and organizations alike.

Health And Well Being

Background: In December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or COVID-19, raised worldwide concern. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively influenced health and wellness across the globe and caused nearly three million deaths. This study focuses on informal caregivers of people with dementia, a disease that affects about 50 million older adults worldwide and requires much caregiving support. Objective: Examine the current literature on the impact of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of informal caregivers for people with dementia. Method: This rapid review was conducted across five electronic databases for quantitative and qualitative articles published through March 15, 2021. Results: The 10 studies included in this review reported quantitative descriptive data from across the globe; however, no studies existed from the U.S. or East Asia countries. All of the studies examined the psychological rather than physical impact of COVID-19 and highlighted risk and protective factors in the areas of psychosocial (resilience, neuropsychiatric, and social isolation), sociodemographic (gender and education), and environmental (home confinement, living arrangement, and dementia stage). Conclusion: COVID-19 has had a considerable negative impact on the psychological well-being of informal caregivers of people with dementia, namely causing more depression and anxiety than pre-pandemic.

While criminality is digitizing, a theory-based understanding of the impact of cybercrime on victims is lacking. Therefore, this study addresses the psychological and financial impact of cybercrime on victims, applying the shattered assumptions theory (SAT) to predict that impact. A secondary analysis was performed on a representative data set of Dutch citizens ( N = 33,702), exploring the psychological and financial impact for different groups of cybercrime victims. The results showed a higher negative impact on emotional well-being for victims of person-centered cybercrime, victims for whom the offender was an acquaintance, and victims whose financial loss was not compensated and a lower negative impact on emotional well-being for victims with a higher income. The study led to novel scientific insights and showed the applicability of the SAT for developing hypotheses about cybercrime victimization impact. In this study, most hypotheses had to be rejected, leading to the conclusion that more work has to be done to test the applicability of the SAT in the field of cybercrime. Furthermore, policy implications were identified considering the prioritization of and approach to specific cybercrimes, treatment of victims, and financial loss compensation.

Abstract The present review assesses the potential neural impact of impoverished, captive environments on large-brained mammals, with a focus on elephants and cetaceans. These species share several characteristics, including being large, wide-ranging, long-lived, cognitively sophisticated, highly social, and large-brained mammals. Although the impact of the captive environment on physical and behavioral health has been well-documented, relatively little attention has been paid to the brain itself. Here, we explore the potential neural consequences of living in captive environments, with a focus on three levels: (1) The effects of environmental impoverishment/enrichment on the brain, emphasizing the negative neural consequences of the captive/impoverished environment; (2) the neural consequences of stress on the brain, with an emphasis on corticolimbic structures; and (3) the neural underpinnings of stereotypies, often observed in captive animals, underscoring dysregulation of the basal ganglia and associated circuitry. To this end, we provide a substantive hypothesis about the negative impact of captivity on the brains of large mammals (e.g., cetaceans and elephants) and how these neural consequences are related to documented evidence for compromised physical and psychological well-being.
