Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the fiscal role of the excise tax on excisable goods (products) produced in Ukraine in the context of permanent changes in the tax legislative framework and within the framework of the global crisis through the coronavirus disease COVID-19. The concept of excise tax has been substantiated, a list of excisable products (goods) has been provided in accordance with legislative acts, the payers of this tax have been specified. The most important events and transactions that influenced the amount of tax revenues from excise tax are investigated. The authors believe that the main reason for the changes in the administration process and the receipt of the excise tax are the European integration transformations and the conditions of the global socio-economic crisis. Based on the difficult economic situation in the state, some legislative acts regulating the collection of excise tax from excisable products produced in the country were considered. It was revealed that a moratorium on the payment of excise tax was imposed on the territory of the studied state for a certain period. This event made its own adjustments to the proceeds from the payment of excise tax on excisable products (goods) produced domestically, and also allowed domestic producers to move from the place of economic stagnation. In Ukraine, they began to actively manufacture and sell antiseptic and disinfectants of their own production to protect citizens. According to the data of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine, the authors analyzed the indicators of tax revenues for each type of excisable products (goods) of domestic production. It was revealed from which products more tax was received during the study period. The main factors that influenced the receipts of excise tax from excisable goods produced on the territory of Ukraine in the period of 2019, as well as for 9 months of 2020, have been determined.
THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON CHANGING THREATS TO BUSINESS GROWTH IN UKRAINE

Published: December 2020

Quarantine has paralyzed business activity in all parts of the world. For Ukrainian entrepreneurs, this test has complicated the already difficult economic situation. This article analyzes how the priority of business development threats has changed since the beginning of the pandemic in the world. With the onset of the pandemic, the greatest threat to business development was the risk associated with human capital, which outpaced the risk of the supply chain and the return to territorialism. Contrary to the global trend, in Ukraine this year the risk of staff shortages has moved from the first line, where it has been for the last few years, to the fourth. In particular, a characteristic feature of the labor market in Ukraine has been the large scale of hidden unemployment with a relatively small scale of growth of officially registered unemployment. Moreover, the Ukrainian labor market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in several areas. First, the development of the situation on the Ukrainian labor market is influenced by changes in the segment of the national economy, the operation of which is focused on the domestic market of Ukraine. Secondly, in that segment of the national economy, the functioning of which is focused on the foreign (world) market. Third, the development of the situation on the Ukrainian labor market is influenced by changes in the current situation with the direct migration of labor from Ukraine abroad. After all, Ukraine is a fairly large net exporter of labor and labor services on the world market. This approach to the analysis of the Ukrainian labor market in terms of the impact of endogenous (external) factors on its development in a pandemic provides an opportunity to build more reasonable scenarios for the transformation of this market depending on the further course of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world. The pandemic has led to a rethinking of the urgency and importance of digital transformation. Company executives mostly point to the acceleration of digitalization during quarantine. The pandemic has led to a rethinking of the urgency and importance of digital transformation. Company executives mostly point to the acceleration of digitalization during quarantine. The pandemic has also led to a major overhaul of supply chains, both for its suppliers and for the company as a provider of services and goods. Assessing the prospects of Ukrainian business in a pandemic, it should be borne in mind that it has long learned to work under permanent political and economic instability and uncertainty.

The article proves that the essence of power in the conditions of modern globalization processes can be traced in completely different forms and sets different goals and objectives than in previous times. Firstly, power has become more effective, knowledge is actively developing, which is the main means of power, which contributes on the one hand, the democratization of various forms of government and methods of organization, and on the other, the establishment of continuous forms of subordination. Making certain decisions, guided by the special knowledge of a person of his own free will, on the basis of his decisions becomes a «one-dimensional», programmed individual. Behavior that in some way does not meet the rational norms is defined as a certain deviation from the norm. The processes of humanization and democratization of power become the basis for the enslavement of people, allowing not just to govern, but to «produce obedient bodies». Secondly, the traditional tasks and functions of power, which are to establish control, the order based on certain norms, are replaced by a complete renunciation of control, power is removed (separated from the effects of physical and social order) from the need to solve important social problems, freedom and choice in finding survival strategies. Individualism and freedom of choice are invariably associated with risk, which becomes the leading function of management. Thirdly, the processes of depersonalization of both objects and subjects of power are intensifying, which ultimately lead to a lack of responsibility for the chosen and implemented management strategies. In a stable society, under the condition of responsible government, one of the important issues is the issue of sustainable procurement. Because the requirements for the safety of goods, the requirements for safe production, for the preservation of our ecosystem as a whole are now vital. Indeed, in this area of sustainable procurement, as the lowest price is no longer the main indicator, first of all, responsibility and professional attitude to their work play a key role.

Published: December 2020

Against the background of existing mechanisms for managing socio-economic changes, the formation of public-private partnerships in the medical system deserves attention. The prerequisites for these changes were: insufficient funding of hospitals and institutions, inadequate staffing, lack of proper provision of high-quality medical services to the population, low response of the medical system to invested budget resources, as well as a decrease in the prestige of the medical profession. Among the reasons that determine to activate this direction, within the framework of the reform, we include: the lack of readiness of the state for such cooperation, the imperfection of the management system for the development of public-private partnership in the industry, the lack of a clear division of powers between public authorities and business, the imperfection of an effective mechanism for providing state support in the field of entrepreneurship in healthcare and the lack of an appropriate level of control and responsibility for the improper Organization of the treatment process in hospitals. Mechanisms of state management of socio-economic changes the formation of public-private partnerships in the medical system deserves more attention. The analysis of the scientific literature of the legislative framework allows us to conclude that the development of public-private partnership in the healthcare sector should become one of the most relevant directions in the development of Industry Reform. So, for the development of cooperation between private medicine and public medicine, it is necessary to bring into line the regulatory framework regulating the activities of private institutions, to find solutions to problems related to the implementation of the provisions of the law of Ukraine "on public-private partnership" in the medical industry.

The article summarizes the theoretical principles of defining the concept of «mechanism», «conflict management mechanism». The main types of conflicts according to the Law of Ukraine «On Civil Service» are clarified: official disputes and conflicts of interest – a situation in which the personal interest of a civil servant affects or may affect the objective performance of his duties and in which there is or may occur contradictions between the personal interest of the employee and the legitimate interests of citizens, organizations, society. The main types of conflict management mechanisms are identified: organizational, legal and socio-psychological, taking into account objective and subjective factors, which covers a system of parameters, sequential actions, a set of methods and measures of socio- psychological nature. The causes of conflict situations in the interaction of public authorities and the public are substantiated: objective (social, political, economic, ideological factors) and subjective (derived from objective). Conflict fields of contradictions that arise in the process of interaction are depicted: legislative principles, political sphere, personnel policy, undemocratic worldview of managers, economic competence. The analysis of the main conflict fields of contradictions of local governments of Poltava region is carried out. New, alternative methods of conflict resolution have been formed: competition, adaptation, compromise, avoidance, cooperation, their general characteristics have been determined. Officials were invited to use the open conversation technique in order to reach a compromise.

Bioorganometallic Technetium and Rhenium Chemistry: Fundamentals for Applications
Authors: Alberto Roger , Braband Henrik , Nadeem Qaisar
Published: December 2020

Due to its long half-life of 2.111×105 y, technetium, i.e. 99Tc, offers the excellent opportunity of combining fundamental and ' classical ' organometallic or coordination chemistry with all methodologies of radiochemistry. Technetium chemistry is
inspired by the applications of its short-lived metastable isomer 99mTc in molecular imaging and radiopharmacy. We present in this article examples about these contexts and the impact of purely basic oriented research on practical applications. This review shows how the chemistry
of this element in the middle of the periodic system inspires the chemistry of neighboring elements such as rhenium. Reasons are given for the frequent observation that the chemistries of 99Tc and 99mTc are often not identical, i.e. compounds accessible for 99mTc,
under certain conditions, are not accessible for 99Tc. The article emphasizes the importance of macroscopic technetium chemistry not only for research but also for advanced education in the general fields of radiochemistry.
Radionuclides in the Environment in Switzerland: A Retrospective Study of Transfer from Soil to the Human Body
Authors: Froidevaux Pascal , Pittet Pierre-André , Cusnir Ruslan , Bochud François , Straub Marietta
Published: December 2020

Natural radionuclides are ubiquitous in the environment. In addition, artificial radionuclides are present in the Swiss environment after the fallout of the nuclear bomb tests of the 1950s and 1960s, after the accident of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, or after authorized discharges
from the Swiss nuclear power plants and research centres. These radionuclides can create a radiological hazard to the environment and humans because of the increased risk of cancer due to the ionizing radiation they produce. Here we show that some of these radionuclides have made their way
from the air or the soil to the human body, where they target mostly the skeleton. However, the activity levels of 90 Sr, 239 Pu and 240 Pu, 226 Ra and 210 Pb/ 210 Po found in the human body remain very low and do not represent a public health issue at the current body burden.

Published: December 2020

A radiochemical procedure for the determination of plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) radionuclides in ice samples by multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) is presented. Pu and U radionuclides are preconcentrated by coprecipitation and then separated by
extraction chromatography. The purified Pu and U fractions are analyzed by MC-ICP-MS. Detection limits of 2 × 10 –3 and 3 × 10–6 mBq kg–1 were achieved for 239Pu and 236U, respectively. Surface ice samples collected
from the Gauli glacier (Switzerland) were analyzed by this method. The surface of the Gauli Glacier retains historical records of 239Pu, 240Pu and 236U from the nuclear weapon testing (NWT) period. Pu and U radionuclides were found to be consistent in terms
of pattern, showing two peaks possibly related to the two main periods of the NWTs (1954–1958 and 1961–1963). 3H measurements, also released by the NWT, further confirmed the Pu and U results. The 240Pu/239Pu ratio ranged from 0.14 to 0.25, and
236U/ 239Pu ranged from 0.14 to 0.81. The Pu atom ratios ranged within the limits of global fallout in the most intensive period of NWT (1952 to 1962).

Acid mine drainage mitigation: A review
Authors: Lazo Daniel
Published: December 2020

Acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock drainage (ARD) refers to the effluents from coal and metal mines. AMD is a common phenomenon which occurs naturally as a process of rock weathering, but is increased in large scale due to human activities such as construction contracts (transportation corridors, dam build, etc.) and mining operations. This phenomenon denotes the acidic water that is produced during exposure of sulphide minerals (mainly pyrite) to air and water through a natural process, and creates sulphuric acid. AMD is a hazard to animals, aquatic life and human beings as it increases the acidity and dissolves metals. Preventing and treating AMD is an important issue in a mine site not only during operation life but also after the mine is abandoned.

Published: December 2020

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has thrown the world into a great deal of health care crisis, with over 2 million people affected globally and more than 1,50,000 deaths. Testing is crucial to gauge the extent of transmission with the currently having the lowest ratio of testing in the world. It is of crucial importance that healthcare workers specially dental practitioners should have adequate knowledge, attitude and practice protocol to prevent any transmission to take place. A Questionnaire-based survey was done among 200 dental practitioners in the South Indian region in which 133 dental practitioners responded. The survey was distributed through electronic media (Google forms). The survey data was collected, analyzed and interpreted. The results suggested that about 80% of Dental practitioners have adequate knowledge and attitude towards the different protocols to be followed during the COVID-19 crisis in their dental practice. Still, there was a lack of recommended practice protocol by these practitioners during the pandemic crisis in the South Indian population. The survey shows that dental practitioners have a sound knowledge, attitude, but the practical application during the pandemic crisis was seen to be varied among various dental practitioners.
FAM83F regulates canonical Wnt signalling through an interaction with CK1α
Authors: Dunbar Karen , Jones Rebecca A , Dingwell Kevin , Macartney Thomas J , Smith James C , Sapkota Gopal P
Published: December 2020

The function of the FAM83F protein, like the functions of many members of the FAM83 family, is poorly understood. Here, we show that injection of Fam83f mRNA into Xenopus embryos causes axis duplication, a phenotype indicative of enhanced Wnt signalling. Consistent with this, overexpression of FAM83F activates Wnt signalling, whereas ablation of FAM83F from human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells attenuates it. We demonstrate that FAM83F is farnesylated and interacts and co-localises with CK1α at the plasma membrane. This interaction with CK1α is essential for FAM83F to activate Wnt signalling, and FAM83F mutants that do not interact with CK1α fail to induce axis duplication in Xenopus embryos and to activate Wnt signalling in cells. FAM83F acts upstream of GSK-3β because the attenuation of Wnt signalling caused by loss of FAM83F can be rescued by GSK-3 inhibition. Introduction of a farnesyl-deficient mutant of FAM83F in cells through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing redirects the FAM83F–CK1α complex away from the plasma membrane and significantly attenuates Wnt signalling, indicating that FAM83F exerts its effects on Wnt signalling at the plasma membrane.

Published: December 2020

The fume generated from the reaction of flux and molten tin produces tin compounds in the atmosphere which potentially lead to stanosis or also known as tin pneumoconiosis after chronic inhalation and prolonged exposure in the workplaces e.g. in smelter industries. The risk can be minimized by implementing Respiratory Protection Program (RPP). This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of RPP at one smelter industries in Bangka Belitung Province. This is a evaluation study that qualitatively evaluate the implementation of RPP. eigth RPP elements from National safety Council (NSC) Australia was used as guideline. The secondary data from Occupational Health and Safety inspection and monitoring report at one of tin smelter from Department of Manpower (Disnaker), Banga Belitung Island province. It was found that several RPP elements have not been fully implemented, which were (1) compliance with respirator standards, (2) no selection of respirators procedure, (3) no protective clothing, (4) no fit testing execution, (5) improper management of cleaning and inspections, and (6) no evaluation of respirator usage. Moreover, specific work process that need Supplied Air Respirator (SAR) has not been anticipated, and improvement in the training materials, periodic training schedule and evaluation of the Respiratory Protection Program were emphasized. There were 3 informants in this study consisting of company managers, safety officers, and labor inspector. The implementation of RPP at PT X. Tin needs to be enhanced. Continuous coaching, monitoring, inspection, and evaluation related to the Respiratory Protection Program must be carried out more intensively both internally and externally from the government.

Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening is the most economically devastating disease of citrus in the world. HLB is a vector-borne disease and transmitted by Asian Citrus psyllid (ACP). HLB is now a serious threat to the cultivation and expansion of Sweet orange and Mandarin in Bangladesh. As no suitable cure is available against the disease, inducing plant immunity by chemical inducers or nutrient management and intercropping could be an effective way to combat this challenge. In this study, two inducers viz., Bion (Acibenzolar S-methyl) and Bactroban (Bismerthizol), nutrients formulations SICOGREEN® (soil application) and foliar spray, intercropping with guava, spraying guava leaf extract (10%), foliar spray with insect growth regulators (IGR) such as Heron (Lufenuron), insecticides such as Neonicotinoids/Imidachloropid + Thiomethoxam and foliar spray of Beauveria bassiana (Commercial formulation) showed comparatively better performance as compared to untreated control considering both HLB incidence and severity in both locations (Haluaghat and Bhaluka) of Sweet orange orchards. All these treatments reduced HLB incidence by 57.5 to 89.44% and HLB severity by 54.16 to 80.35% in Sweet orange considering both Haluaghat and Bhaluka orchards. The results revealed that Bion (Acibenzolar S-methyl), nutrients formulations SICOGREEN® (soil and foliar application), intercropping with guava, spraying guava leaf extract, foliar spray of insecticides can be integrated to reduce HLB incidence and severity in Sweet orange. Some of these treatments have also some positive effects on plant growth and yield parameters of Sweet orange as compared to control. These results comprehensively suggest that chemical inducers and nutrient management seem a better alternative to control HLB aimed to increase tree lifespan and productivity.

COVID-19, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection has become pandemic after first appearing in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It destroyed the life of millions of people throughout the different parts of Europe, America, Asia and others in the world. Various groups of scientists throughout the globe have claimed on trialing for the corona vaccine and for finding out suitable medication for the treatment of COVID-19. No vaccine or medicines are successfully reported to short out the issue for saving the valuable life of human beings, till date. The mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infection and organ invasion are not understood and it creates difficulty in clinical diagnosis and treatment of corona patients. The pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infection is not very much clear and it may invade multiple organ systems of respiratory, digestive and hematological in a confirmed case. The impact of corona virus outbreak on the global and Indian health systems is also reviewed herewith.

Published: December 2020

This paper examined the consumer preferences of duck meat in Mymensingh city of Bangladesh. The aim of the study was to find out how much people like or dislike to consume duck meat and what amount do they consume.  Purposive sampling technique was carried out among 80 consumers of duck meat. A five-point Likert scale was used to measure consumers attitudes towards duck meat and Discriminative Power (DP) value was computed to find out the lowest and the highest variability of responses. Nearly no study related to the preferences of duck meat consumption was conducted before in the selected study area. The findings of this study revealed that 63.75% consumers disfavored duck meat and 30% consumers favored it. Results indicated that the majority of the consumers strongly agreed that dressing slaughtered duck is complex and duck meat is nutritious and delicious. The highest variability in consumers responses was to statement, “duck meat can be used in any occasion. And the lowest variability of responses was to the statement that, “duck meat is very fatty” as almost all the respondents agreed. Therefore, it can be concluded that consumers showed unfavorable attitudes towards duck meat consumption. The reason behind this disfavoring attitude were allergy, asthma and seasonal pattern of duck meat consumption. This means that the respondents showed differentiated response, when they were responding on the statement that duck meat can be used in any occasion while the respondents were somewhat in differentiated while they were responding that the duck meat is very fatty. Traditionally duck is consumed in winter season in Bangladesh. That’s why, the year-round consumer preferences including warmer seasons resulted in lower total year-round preferences.

The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Nepal during the November 2016 to March 2018 for two consecutive years to assess the characteristics on postharvest quality of late season cauliflower varieties. The experiment was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with the eleven late season cauliflower varieties viz., Freedom, Titan, Ravella, Amazing, Artica, Bishop, Casper, Indam 9803, NS 106, Snow Mystique, and Snowball 16, each replicated with four times. Significantly higher TSS value of 5.7º Brix was produced by Snowball 16 than other varieties. Considerably higher vitamin C of 49 mg/100 g was found in Amazing than other varieties. Significantly lower physiological loss in weight of 5.3%, 9.6% and 15.6% was found in Artica at three, six and nine days after harvesting, respectively. Higher score for the taste of curd was 8.8 in Snowball 16 followed by Amazing while lower score for taste of the curd was 4.8 in Indam 9803 variety. The attractive color and more compact curd score of 8.4 was found in both Titan and Artica than other varieties. Therefore, it can be concluded that Snowball 16 and Amazing varieties were the best open pollinated varieties for taste of the curd and composition of chemical constitutes. Bishop, Snow Mystique, NS 106, Artica and Titan varieties were other probable hybrid varieties based on their overall postharvest characteristics.

The study was conducted to analyze the fish landings from Iraqi artisanal marine fisheries, northwest Arabian Gulf from January 2017 to December 2019. The monthly data of fish landings were collected from the main landing site at Al-Fao port, south Iraq and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 35 taxa in 18 families were identified in the artisanal catches, in addition to two species of shrimps. The highest total landings were 11,944 t in 2018 and 11,305 t in 2019. The annual total landing of the marine fisheries increased by 270% during 2017-2019 as compared with the annual landing during 2008-2016. Threadfin bream contributed 14.1%, followed by river shad (11.1%) and mullets (11.1%), whereas shrimps formed 15.2% to the total catch. The overall values of biomass diversity of fish ranged from 1.82 in 2017 to 2.85 in 2018. There were 320 registered fishing boats motorized by 65 to 950 hp. Multi gears fishing were observed. The trends of the landings of all fish groups were increased substantially, except river shad, threadfin bream and shrimps. The study suggests some of the management measures must be put into place, especially for the river shad in the regions of their migration reproductive and the nursery.

The long-term (mis)use of chemical pesticides in agriculture may cause chronic health conditions. The study aimed to assess the relationship between pesticide use in agriculture and chronic health conditions of farmers. The study was done in two adjoining villages in Kavrepalanchok district of Nepal: Mahadevsthan having high application rates and long history of the use of pesticides in the agriculture; and Nayagaun - relatively low rates and a short history of the use of pesticides. Data was collected through household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, ‘door-to-door’ physical health examination, and free medical health camps. We performed an independent sample t-test and Poisson regression in data analysis. The findings showed higher prevalence rates of chronic health conditions in Mahadevsthan compared to Nayagaun. We also observed a significant positive association between pesticide use history and chronic health conditions. The incidence rate for multiple chronic conditions increased by a factor of 1.296 for an additional year of pesticide use. We, however, recommend in-depth longitudinal cohort studies for further examination of the relationship.
ГЕНЕТИЧНІ АЛГОРИТМИ ОПТИМІЗАЦІЇ В ЗАДАЧАХ КЕРУВАННЯ ЗРОШУВАЛЬНИМИ СИСТЕМАМИ

На сьогодні спостерігається тенденція збільшення складності математичних і формальних моделей реальних систем і процесів управління. Це пов’язано з необхідністю підвищення адекватності цих моделей та врахування якомога більшої кількості факторів, які впливають на процеси прийняття рішень. Традиційні методи побудови моделей не приводять до задовільних результатів, коли описання проблеми, що підлягає вирішенню, с самого початку є неточним і неповним. Прагнення отримати всю вичерпну інформацію для побудови точної математичної моделі скільки-небудь складної реальної ситуації може привести лише до втрати часу та коштів, оскільки це може бути в принципі неможливо. До недавнього часу при проектуванні і дослідженні систем автоматизованого управління і систем інтелектуальної підтримки процесів підготовки і прийняття рішень використовувалися два великі класи математичних моделей і методів: один з них представлений детермінованими, а другий ймовірними моделями. Сьогодні відбувається бурхливий розвиток і все більш широке застосування в різних областях третього, абсолютно нового класу моделей і методів, заснованих на принципах теорії нечітких множин. Набув розвитку такий новий напрямок, як м’які обчислення, за допомогою яких стало можливим оптимізувати нечіткі моделі. Використання методів оптимізації дозволило будувати адекватні моделі процесів і систем навіть при достатньо грубій початковій нечіткій моделі. Однак у системах, заснованих на нечіткому підході, особливо при великій кількості змінних, практично неможливо врахувати синергізм, що може виникати при сумісній появі деяких конкретних значень окремих змінних, та неможливо забезпечити облік відмінностей у важливості факторів, що впливають на прийняття рішення. Зокрема в даній роботі генетичні алгоритми використано як оптимізаційні методи, що дозволяють мінімізувати відстань між бажаним та модельним результатом логічного висновку. На основі генетичних алгоритмів навчання нечітких регресійних моделей розроблено інтелектуальну систему підтримки прийняття рішень при діагностуванні параметрів режимів зрошення. Таку систему впроваджено у процес визначення строків та норм поливу при зрошенні овочевих культур сімейства пасльонових. Розроблена система підтримки прийняття рішень дозволяє в залежності від вибору режиму зрошення визначати потребу рослин у воді і або отримувати високі врожаї на фоні раціонального використання води, або заощаджувати водні ресурси при певних втратах врожаю, що з економічної точки зору є доцільним в порівнянні з витратами на подачу додаткових об’ємів поливної води для досягнення максимальних врожаїв
