UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Old age is difficult to define, so many terms overlap or clash with each other, all of which raise a number of issues: the elderly, the third age, the fourth age, senior citizens, pensioners, etc. It is not easy to determine the threshold for entering the period of life commonly known as old age. One thing is certain, old age has changed profoundly. From now on, it has become for everyone, albeit with profound inequalities, a normal stage of life. Social security systems combined with the considerable progress in medicine have made it possible to increase the length of retirement. Whereas in 1950 a man retiring at 65 could expect to live for about 12 years, today life expectancy at 60 is over 20 years for men and over 25 years for women. However, this simple observation has much more complex consequences in terms of the social identity, integration and social behaviour of these new population groups. Despite an ageing population, Switzerland has a total labour force of 4.706 million people. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the participation rate of the population aged 15 and over was 68.1%. This puts the country in second place in Europe behind Iceland (79.9%). Switzerland's neighbouring states have significantly lower levels (Germany: 62.6%, Austria: 61.4%; France: 55.5%, Italy: 49.9%). In particular, Switzerland has one of the highest rates of employed women in Europe. The percentage of employed women increased significantly between 2010 and 2019, from 56.9% to 60%.

PERSPECTIVES OF THE TRANSITION TO THE DIGITAL ECONOMY IN EU

The Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 refers, in simple terms, to the way in which the technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and the internet of things are merging with the physical life of the people all around the globe. This new “era” is expected to transform in a revolutionary way the economies, employment and even the society in which we live today. The digital economy is very different in comparison to the traditional one and it is the result of the accelerated evolution of telecommunications, internet and electronics, and their integration in our everyday life. This arising economy is favoring the development of a new type of business, i.e. e-business. The process of the transformation of the actual economy in a digital one needs a set of favorable factors and a period of time, named period of transition. In this context, it is necessary to understand and to assess how advanced the transition process is in each EU country so that to be able to create and implement the suitable strategies who will lead to the digital economy. At EU level it was create an index - Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) – with the aim to measure the progress of EU countries towards a digital economy and society. Our paper presents this index and make a comparative analysis of its evolution during the last 5 years. The results show an intense preoccupation of all EU countries for the improvement of the sectors considered in the calculation of DESI and the progress made by some states in this field.

FORMATION OF A PORTFOLIO OF KEY COMPETENCIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

The article shows the methodological aspects of the formation of a portfolio of key competencies in the implementation of the management process. Applied calculations are carried out on the example of procurement management. The system of key competencies of the procurement management process, from our point of view, is a complex of elements interconnected and interacting to achieve sustainable competitive advantage and synergy effect, as well as highlighting the criteria for the development of key competencies of the process under study. The aim of the study is to form a portfolio of key competencies in procurement management. It was revealed that it is the key competencies, in contrast to the potential ones, that will contribute to the effective implementation of the process or the development of the organization. In this regard, it seems appropriate to highlight the factors that influence the formation of key competencies. The features of the selection of the system of key competencies from the set of potential competencies on the basis of economic and mathematical modeling are shown. The authors have developed a matrix "status risk", which is a visualization of the correlation between the status of competence and the level of its problematicity. As a result of the study, a profile of competencies was formed, which allows us to identify, in the future, two main directions of their development: 1) increasing the status of competence by increasing the level of importance; 2) reducing the level of risk due to more effective management. The proposed methodology is universal and allows the formation of key competencies of a company or process.

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LACTOSE-FREE DAIRY PRODUCTS IN THIS CONDITION (Review)

The paper is a review of the importance of expanding the lactose-free dairy segment to give consumers the opportunity to consume milk and dairy products if they suffer from lactose intolerance. When there is a lactase deficiency in the body, in the small intestine lactose is not hydrolyzed, the volume increases and the fluidity of the intestinal contents increases, allowing lactose to reach the colon where it is fermented by colonic bacteria. Lactose intolerance is a condition that depending on the form developed will show different symptoms and consumers suffering from this disease may ingest amounts between 12-24 g of lactose consumed during a day, taking into account certain recommendations, compared to allergy to milk proteins, where the consumption of dairy products is prohibited. Due to the rich intake of important macro and micronutrients in human nutrition, dairy products cannot be missing from the daily diet. In this context, methods are proposed, in particular ultrafiltration, for obtain free lactose milk that does not affect its composition and properties. Consumers suffering from lactose intolerance should be properly informed about the lactose content in manufactured lactose-free dairy products. This can be done after using highperformance instrumental methods of analysis that can detect the lowest values of lactose content in dairy products.
