Modern tendencies of the given groups of countries having strong foundations of institutional control or corruption «restraints» have been studied in this context. The correlation analysis has been carried out to study the dependence of corruption and inflation according to income groups. Research of previous experiences and results of the carried out analysis indicate that implementation of the efficient policy aimed at control of manifestations of corruption presumes some high level of institutional development in countries. Results of the correlation analysis prove the inverse relationship between corruption and inflation as well as its weaknesses for all income groups in countries.","PeriodicalId":154720,"journal":{"name":"Economic Annals-ХХI","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139369979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study delves into the creation of functional beverages via nutrient extraction from sprouted grain raw materials, focusing on the extraction of biologically active compounds. The significance of the extraction method on the efficacy of bioactive compound extraction is a pivotal scientific fact, with hydrodynamic extraction previously studied under high-frequency currents. This research explores hydrodynamic extraction of sprouted grains of cereal crops using an experimental setup. Materials and Methods. The study utilized hydrodynamic extraction, a prevalent method encompassing infusion, mixing, filtering (with or without filtration) through membranes, and counter-current mass exchange between raw materials and extractants. Hydrodynamic extraction was chosen for its ability to intensify the process, reduce extraction time, increase the yield of extracted substances, and lower energy consumption. The experiment determined the extract yield from sprouted grains of cereal crops using this method. A rotatable second-order plan (Box plan) was employed for regression equation development, incorporating over 20 experiments and 10 equation coefficients. Results. The experiments established two factors influencing the extraction process’s effectiveness: extraction duration (t, min) and sprouted grain concentration (C, %). These factors impacted the optimization criteria - extract yield. The research outcomes are presented in detailed tables and diagrams, providing a comprehensive understanding of the process dynamics and optimization for maximum extract yield from various grains. Scientific Novelty. The study introduces a new perspective in the field of hydrodynamic extraction, emphasizing the impact of specific variables like extraction time and grain concentration on the yield and quality of extracts from sprouted cereal grains. The mathematical processing of data and the regression equations formulated offer a novel approach to understanding and optimizing the hydrodynamic extraction process. Practical Significance. The research findings are crucial for the economic sector, particularly in the production of functional beverages. Understanding the variables that influence the extraction process can lead to more efficient production methods, enhancing the quality and nutritional value of the beverages. The cost analysis has been undertaken and economic effect of proposed variants of production were calculated and compared. The study’s insights into the biochemical composition of extracts, especially from sprouted triticale, reveal their potential as valuable ingredients in the beverage industry, enriched with polyphenols, flavonoids, organic acids, and vitamins. This knowledge can guide economic strategies in functional beverage production, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and resource optimization.","PeriodicalId":154720,"journal":{"name":"Economic Annals-ХХI","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139370094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty in the research is to provide an academic argument so that the management of the placement of The Welfare of the Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) becomes a priority for each region, not even considering this as a trivial and secondary issue, eliminating the budget, not preparing competent resources in their field. This research was conducted using the qualitative descriptive method in various regions in Indonesia that have and do not have integrated services (ISs). The data was obtained by observing the areas of North Sumatra, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara. Immigration has led to the practice of daily trips for employment, the diversification of the income pattern of the village, the capitalization of the land and housing of the village, the transformation of the productive foundations of the village, and the penetration of lack of motivation in engaging in agricultural activities. The benefit of the existence of integrated services is the reduction of the number of illegal migrant workers departures. However, North Sumatra Province does not yet have an integrated services and only uses the Ministry of Manpower application. The existence of integrated services in the regions has become ineffective because the internet network is not supported, and human resources are inadequate. The ineffectiveness of the services provided can result in Indonesian irregular migrant workers being very vulnerable to becoming victims of exploitation abroad.","PeriodicalId":154720,"journal":{"name":"Economic Annals-ХХI","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139370018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Which include human resources. Human resource management is vital part of the chain of value creation in many industries, including the tourism and hospitality industry. Human resources of high quality and in sufficient quantity in this industry are vital and lie in a core of its value chain as far as the tourism industry embraces the combination of economic, social and emotional interactions and complex processes, as well as aesthetics and information that can be less important in other industries, and these characteristics are part of human nature and soft skills of the human resources involved in the industry. In the age of marketing and intensified competition the role of human resources is not to be underestimated. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to determine how the human resource factors affect the organizational culture (socialization) and to examine the profitability in the tourism industry in the context of human resource management. The research data was collected from 30 enterprises active in the field of tourism and hospitality including hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers and services in Jakarta of Indonesia in 2022. According to the purpose of the research, the employees of those companies were considered as a statistical sample, whose number was 300 people. In the study we tested the influence of ten factors from the field of human resource management on business profitability.

This quality is significantly influenced by the research capabilities of academic faculties. The assessment of academic training involves various factors, including the proficiency level in scientific methodologies exhibited by academic staff and postgraduate students. Economics of material-technical infrastructure plays a pivotal, often decisive role in this training, especially in the realm of natural and technical sciences. The primary goal of our study is to gauge the proficiency levels in scientific methodologies among academic faculty, scrutinize economics of material-technical provisioning of higher education institutions, and to formulate pedagogical and administrative recommendations targeted at the academic staff and management of these institutions. In the presented country case study (Kazakhstan), a comprehensive survey and data collection were carried out, involving 23 higher education institutions, 22 research institutes (spanning the years 2019-2021), and about 800 surveyed academic and research representatives in the fields of humanities, natural-technical sciences, and mathematical disciplines. A pronounced deficiency (82%) was identified in the grasp of scientific methodologies within higher education institutions. Marginal variances were observed between universities and research institutes, as well as between natural-technical and social-humanitarian faculties. Alarmingly lower levels of material-technical provisioning per academic faculty member were revealed, ranging from a mere 2% to 75% compared to research institutes. The presented results introduce new quantitative and qualitative data extracted from primary sources. The analysis uncovers both general and specific per-capita characteristics of the research potential of academic faculty and higher education institutions in Kazakhstan. It reveals significant variances in material-technical provisioning, ranging from a mere 2% to 75% when compared to research institutes. We provide evaluations and recommendations for universities to substantially augment the per-capita characteristics of material-technical provisioning at the level of individual research potential.

International scientific collaboration and science diplomacy are essential components of international relations and international law, facilitating cross-cultural interactions at various political, societal, social, humanitarian, and technical levels. The sphere of international scientific collaboration, increasingly intertwined with science diplomacy, holds significant relevance in the realm of global relations and international jurisprudence. It fosters multifaceted exchanges spanning political, societal, humanitarian, and technical domains. In the current epoch, often termed the «International Era,» the dynamics of international scientific collaboration assume heightened importance. This era marks a distinct phase in the evolutionary trajectory of global science, progressing from individual, institutional, to national stages. Methodology. This study delves into the nature and scope of international scientific cooperation involving Kazakhstani scientific entities and researchers. It employs an analytical framework grounded in epistemology and gnoseology, complemented by statistical and correlational analysis. The investigation categorizes the diverse forms and types of international scientific engagements, adopting a synectics approach. It introduces the concept of «commensalism» as a contemporary model of international collaboration in the Kazakhstani scientific context. The paper confronts challenges associated with the saturation of information in scientific publications and introduces the notion of the «dark matter of science.» It proposes hypotheses on the structures, targeted outcomes, and methodologies pertinent to international scientific cooperation. The research employs scientometric data, exemplified through national and academic research scenarios, to establish correlations. It interprets Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlation coefficients within the context of scientometric parameters, focusing on publication activities in international scientific collaboration. Results. The study unveils critical insights into the dynamics of international scientific collaboration and its economic implications. Key findings include a positive correlation between the number of joint publications and the H-index across various research fields, with notable variations in research funding and commercialization potential. Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, and Medical Sciences emerge as leading disciplines in terms of joint publication volume, H-index, and economic parameters. In contrast, Social Sciences show a lower level of international collaboration and economic impact, suggesting a more localized research focus.
