The scoring is determined by the sum of the weight’s multiplication and the factor that started the landslide. Nine factors causing landslides have been evaluated using the statistical methods. The results showed that the scoring technique could be used as a guideline (tool) to analyze the relationship between landslide events and the level of vulnerability and also assess the socio-economic impact in the Samin Hulu sub-watershed. The survey and mapping results found that the distribution of landslide-prone areas in the Sub-watershed Samin Upstream can be divided into five landslide-prone levels, namely: extraordinarily prone, very prone, prone, somewhat prone, and not prone. The Samin Sub-watershed area can be categorized as an area classified as prone to landslides. To lessen the socio-economic damage to the area, a number of programmes and cooperation initiatives between authorities and local communities have been introduced.

The transition to digital technologies stimulated the emergence of new accounting objects in the form of digital assets whose features are problematic for being displayed in a rather tightly regulated system of accounting and reporting standards. In the context of emerging new ways of using crypto assets in business practice and increasing the volume of transactions with them, accounting has problems with displaying digital assets in part of confirming their controllability, their assessment at various stages of the life cycle, and identification of participants of cryptocurrency transactions. The paper deals with impact of economy digitalization on accounting methodology in the context of the Industry 4.0, in particular, the prospects for a separate display of digital assets in financial statements. Purpose. This article is aimed at the systematic substantiation of the exclusive status of digital assets as a fundamentally new accounting object in order to further develop, on this basis, the strategy for the development of their accounting and displaying them in the companies’ reporting. Methods. The paper contains a critical analysis of scientific publications devoted to the essence, status and features of the digital assets’ use, as well as the formation of information about them in the accounting and financial statements. The authors have carried out a bibliometric analysis of the frequency of use of terminology in the field of digital assets with the help of special software (VOSviewer and Google Trends). Results. The authors have developed a taxonomy of digital assets based on the use of distributed ledger technology and cryptography. The paper also explores the issue of the differentiated application of existing valuation bases for various types of digital assets. The article systemizes approaches to the deanonymization of participants in transactions with crypto assets which are used to control their origin and the legal regime of applying, for the purpose of rational organization and accounting of them. Conclusions. There is a need to introduce a separate standard designed to regulate accounting and display of digital assets in financial statements, in order to provide stakeholders with relevant information in the process of making managerial and investment decisions.","PeriodicalId":51923,"journal":{"name":"Economic Annals-XXI","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46139677","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}

Thus, recent years have seen an increasing need for studies on urban indexes measuring European cities as well as those on the evaluation of the indexes. The purpose of this paper is to prove that Central and Eastern European medium-sized cities as regional centers are an under-researched area in social science research. While one typical trend of this research is ranking based on various aspects as well as the determination of leading cities, the regional centers of Central and Eastern European countries are only tangentially included in this research. The research objectives: The analysis examines 94 regional centers in ten Central and Eastern European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia) with regional functions at NUTS2 level based on a total of 41 different economic indexes and rankings. The research was based on the Eurostat Urban Audit database and the keyword search engine of scientific search engines such as Web of Science, Science direct, and Google Scholar. The research question: Which Central and Eastern European regional centers are examined by the different city rankings and indexes? The research results and conclusions are the following: 1) As a result of the research, it was found that out of the 94 regional centers, the most examined cities are Krakow, Wroclaw and Brno. A randomly selected city is included in only 11% of the studied rankings and indexes. 2) However, half of the Central and Eastern European capitals are considered areas for city rankings and indexes. The most studied capitals are, ranked in order of focus; Budapest and Prague, Vienna, Ljubljana, Bratislava, Sofia, Warsaw and Zagreb. 3) Based on the correlation analysis, we found a strong relationship between two indicators (Cultural Creative Cities Index and Smart Cities Index) which suggests that it would make sense to explore further relationships for which it is indispensable to have the right quality and quantity of data. All in all, it would be worthwhile creating an economic index measuring the performance of Central and Eastern European regional centers which could help regional and city governments as well as potential investors get an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of regional centers in the region.","PeriodicalId":51923,"journal":{"name":"Economic Annals-XXI","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48780802","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}

According to the results of generalization and systematization of data from leading scientists and economists, specialists in online retail, it is established that the problem of developing a smart system for managing and developing business in the online environment is still fragmentarily studied. Considering the above, the purpose of the study is to develop an online business smart development system that is congruent to the context and allows to comprehensively assess and analyze aspects of product, pricing, communication, sales and logistics activities, as well as make justified management decisions. To achieve the purpose, it is used general scientific approaches and methods: complex and structural approaches; methods of system analysis and synthesis, visualization method; special analysis methods, among which logical, economic-mathematical and comparative; method of expert evaluations. For the study, it is selected 21 online stores of the biggest Ukrainian retailers divided into three clusters.

In particular, an indicator for assessing the level of financial stability of business entities is proposed. The calculation of this indicator is based on a comparison of the forecast value of the flow of income of the enterprise, which it can use to fulfill its obligations to creditors, with the minimum allowable value of this flow, at which these obligations will be guaranteed to be fulfilled by the enterprise. A model for assessing the impact of debt financing of energy saving measures at enterprises on the level of their financial stability has been developed. Analytical expressions have been established for the limiting values of the part of the loan financing of energy-saving projects, under which the financial stability of the enterprise after the implementation of these projects will not decrease or will be at the minimum acceptable level. This made it possible to identify the conditions under which the introduction of investment measures at enterprises aimed at improving energy efficiency leads to an increase in the level of financial stability of business entities. These conditions provide for a limitation on the share of borrowed funds in the structure of sources of financing for energy saving projects, taking into account the forecast values of return on investment and other indicators that affect the ability of enterprises to fulfill their loan obligations in a timely manner. An empirical analysis was carried out on a sample of Ukrainian enterprises belonging to three types of economic activity. This analysis showed, in particular, that an increase in the investment activity of enterprises in the field of energy conservation has a positive impact on their level of financial stability. It was also found that the increase in the share of debt financing of energy-saving projects, to a certain extent, negatively affected the financial stability of the enterprises that implemented these projects. However, at any level of debt financing, the implementation of energy-saving projects made it possible to increase the average financial stability of the companies under study.

First of all, these are UN resolutions and OSCE decisions. The forecasted indicators of development and risks of the global society in the future are analyzed, as well as the success and failures in the implementation of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Two conclusions were drawn. The first conclusion is that there is the tangible success in increasing the sustainability of development. The second conclusion is that the set goals will not be achieved in full, and for some goals, deterioration is observed, since the global causes of instability have not been identified. The world has 20% entered a period of instability in terms of self-sustainability (A) There are at least three such reasons: imperfection of economic theory; insufficient level of morality in economic and political life between states, in business and ordinary people; the absence of a truly effective system for selecting elites and a system for promoting true leaders to the pinnacle of power, when the pinnacle of power coincides with the pinnacle of wisdom and the pinnacle of morality. Research directions for the development of measures to prevent a global catastrophe are proposed. The first set of studies is aimed at establishing correlations between causes and effects.
