Reporting, financial and accounting analysis, financial planning and budgeting are key factors for market-oriented corporate management and successful business. In the digital economy, strong competition, responsible entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility the business feels a need for revolution and new decision sciences for complex systems that collect big data, analyze it and create reports that can be used by managers for decision-making. The present study aims to prove that the accounting automation system is an important tool for managing the economic activity of companies, because it mediates the interrelationships between managers/decision-makers, or subjects of management, economic activity and its results, or object of management, in support of Business intelligence, or BI, Data and Analysis, Power Platform, etc. The following research tasks have to be settled for reaching the above-mentioned goal: 1. to analyze the components of decision support systems; 2. to research the types of decision support systems; 3. to demonstrate the impact of the accounting automation system as a decision support system on the optimization and improvement of the working processes and making adequate timely management decisions; 4. to analyze the technological aspects of accounting automation system as a decision support system; 5. to research the challenges and solutions regarding ERP systems and SAP. In the course of the study shall be justified the thesis that the successful business is based on true, accurate and reliable information which is mostly generated by automated accounting system as a decision support system and contemporary information technologies. The results of the research are expressed in establishing the way to ensure and guarantee the unification, acceleration and optimization of the input-processing-output process, analysis, financial modelling, financial planning, etc. about decision support and respectively wealth management.

The sizes of the LCP nanoparticles were characterized by a bimodal distribution at pH 6, and their values were essentially smaller than the sizes of the chitosan particles. It was found that the LCP nanoparticles were characterized by remarkably lower values of surface tension at the air-water and the water-organic liquid interface in comparison with the initial biopolymers. With decreasing pH and increasing concentration of the LCP nanoparticles in the water solution, their adsorption ability at the interfaces was enhanced. The interface tension at the water-heptane interface changed non-linearly with increasing the polyelectrolyte complex concentration that was associated with the “saturation” effect. The dependence of the ability of the LPC nanoparticles to stabilize oil-in-water emulsion on pH values of the water phase was found. ","PeriodicalId":332103,"journal":{"name":"ENVIRONMENT.

The problem is that the degree studies curriculum is not always applied to working students as the needs of the companies they work for differ. Companies find it more valuable when students can use the existing curriculum topics to solve today's company problems. Current degree studies take considerable time and are unsuitable for full-time employed specialists. The proposed Education 4.0 concept brings the knowledge and skills required by the market for full-time employed students in a time-efficient way. One possible solution to apply this concept in practice is to create a micro-credential curriculum for companies. The authors suggest using the intensive week approach for analysis, where the students will solve the real company problem using previously studied solutions. They will also use the Moodle courses linked to the developed COL to speed up access to the materials. Authors suggest organising such an event in collaboration with consortium partners and involving all teaching staff who worked on course development. After introducing problems brought by the company and visiting the company on site, asking the questions, students define the task to be solved in groups. After that, the Authors recommend providing intensive courses where each partner will present the developed Moodle materials. The target is that the students will solve the problem in 24h and present solutions to the company representative. ","PeriodicalId":332103,"journal":{"name":"ENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGIES. RESOURCES.

The protective layer of concrete, which serves to protect the reinforcement from the effects of the external environment, will be significantly reduced. This will help to reduce the mass of concrete structures while maintaining strength properties and will allow you to create lighter structures that can withstand heavy loads.Strength tests were carried out on concrete blocks reinforced with smooth iron or titanium rods Ø10 mm, which showed the prospects of replacing steel reinforcement with titanium reinforcement in reinforced concrete.","PeriodicalId":332103,"journal":{"name":"ENVIRONMENT.

As autonomous learners Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates are able to define their goals clearly, to identify the most optimal learning strategies for achieving these goals and for acquiring new knowledge and skills necessary for their further professional development. The present study is aimed at finding out Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ viewpoints on effectiveness of individualised instruction for developing their learner autonomy in English classroom. With this in mind, the team of researchers applied a questionnaire to a sample of Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates who study at three higher education institutions of Ukraine. Data collection lasted for three months and took place in September-December 2022. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that individualised instruction delivered through online teaching tools and apps in English classroom enables university teachers to develop Computer Engineering and Information Technology Undergraduates’ learner autonomy effectively.

Some overview and comparison of spread of learning analytics tools in general education schools in Lithuania and Germany is presented in the context of data-driven education. The empirical part of the article presents some results from a big qualitative study of teachers’ experiences applying learning analytics tools in teaching - learning process. The main question of the current research is what data literacy skills teachers need in order to use learning analytics tools and make data based pedagogical decisions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Lithuanian and 9 German teachers from general education schools, who already have had experience in working with learning experience platforms (digital learning platforms that integrate learning analytics tools). Interview data were analysed by means of content analysis. The results of the qualitative study showed that in order to use learning analytics tools it is important for teachers to have such skills as: digital literacy, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, etc. Comparative analysis of informants’ answers showed that teachers in Lithuania and Germany expressed similar needs for data literacy skills.
