Published: August 2020

Colombia requires blackberry genotypes with remarkable traitsthat improve the competitiveness of this product in the country.The objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristicsof the quality attributes in fruits of ten Colombian blackberrygenotypes in order to assess their potential in the berry markets but also as a genetic source to be included in breeding programs. The weight of fruits, the equatorial and longitudinal diameters, volume, firmness, color, juice content, flesh content, seed/fruit weight percentage, soluble solids content, acidity, pH and maturity index were evaluated in fruits collected during three different harvest periods in the province of Cundinamarca. Thirty fruits for every genotype and period were harvested and analyzed. These 10 evaluated genotypes showed important differences that allowed separating them into five different groups; however, genotypes 8, 4 and 6 showed the best results regarding size, color, juice content, total soluble solids content, maturity index, firmness and low acidity. These features make them good candidates for incorporating them into breeding programs. Nonetheless, their soluble solids content was considerably lower than values reported for genotypes Prime Ark, Natchez, Ouachita, and Osage that are recognized for theseremarkable traits.

PROPAGANDAS BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS VERSUS BUSINESS-TO-CONSUMER: UMA COMPARAÇÃO DE ANÚNCIOS DE SERVIÇOS EM REVISTAS BRASILEIRAS
Authors: VIEIRA VALTER AFONSO , PETROLL MARTIN DE LA MARTINIERE
Published: August 2020

RESUMO Existem vários tipos de anúncios, alguns de bens, de idéias e, por fim, outros de serviços. Sendo mais específico, propagandas enfatizando serviços pelas empresas são mais raras do que propagandas com foco em bens. O presente artigo testa seis hipóteses em relação à comparação do conteúdo das propagandas de serviços com foco business-to-business e business-to-consumer. Da mesma forma, verifica-se também a existência de diferentes targets na elaboração de seus conteúdos. As sete variáveis avaliadas por meio de análise de conteúdo foram: tipo de anúncio, apelo, manchete, qualidade, preço, segmentação e endereço eletrônico. Os dados foram obtidos de 34 revistas de negócios publicadas no Brasil, totalizando uma amostra de 812 propagandas, das quais 29% foram para serviços business-to-business e 71% com foco business-to-consumer. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram a rejeição de apenas uma das seis hipóteses teoricamente propostas, reforçando a idéia de determinadas características que propagandas business-to-business possuem. Comentários adicionais e contribuições do estudo concluem o artigo.

Published: August 2020

RESUMO O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a relação entre os atributos do sistema de informação de contabilidade gerencial (SICG) e o nível de satisfação dos usuários desse sistema. As características qualitativas da informação contábil contribuem para a utilidade da informação contábil gerencial. Os atributos do sistema de informação contábil gerencial são os instrumentos por meio dos quais as referidas características são atingidas. Tais atributos são derivados do modelo conceitual de Chenhall e Morris (1986), consolidado por Moores e Yuen (2001). Foram coletados dados em uma pesquisa de campo junto às organizações classificadas entre as de médio e de grande portes no Brasil, definidas de maneira probabilística. A análise dos dados inclui análise multivariada, sendo utilizado o método do cluster. Os resultados indicam que a satisfação dos usuários aumenta se os atributos do sistema permitem aos usuários a obtenção de informações úteis. Futuras pesquisas podem investigar quais os atributos que mais contribuem para a satisfação dos usuários da informação contábil.

INADIMPLÊNCIA NO SISTEMA FINANCEIRO DE HABITAÇÃO: UM ESTUDO JUNTO À CAIXAECONÔMICA FEDERAL (CAIXA)
Authors: SEHN CARLOS FERNANDO , CARLINI JUNIOR REGINALDO JOSÉ
Published: August 2020

RESUMO A inadimplência, hoje, é um dos fatores que mais preocupam as empresas, independentemente do seu tamanho ou faturamento. Mais do que vender, elas devem se preocupar em como e quando receber para garantir a sua sobrevivência. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender o grau de importância dado pelos mutuários da Caixa Econômica Federal (Caixa) no que se refere à inadimplência habitacional no Estado de Pernambuco. É importante destacar que foram aplicados questionários a mutuários inadimplentes dessa empresa, localizados na capital e no interior do Estado de Pernambuco. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que houve uma pequena queda na inadimplência após a implantação do Sistema de Risco de Crédito (Siric), a partir de 2000, mas que, de acordo com os índices atuais e com os resultados da pesquisa, os esforços precisam ser redobrados para que os índices caiam a níveis aceitáveis.
Epidemia de Covid-19: questões críticas para a gestão da saúde pública no Brasil
Authors: Sodré Francis
Published: August 2020

Resumo A epidemia de Covid-19 exigiu planejamento imediato do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro. As ações do governo mostraram contradições entre a presidência e o Ministério da Saúde. O objetivo deste ensaio é a reconstituição das ações do governo federal no enfrentamento da pandemia por Covid-19. Tais ações traduziram-se em uma política organizada em três frentes: o protagonismo dos governadores; o falso dilema entre a economia e a saúde e; a militarização do Ministério da Saúde com preenchimento dos quadros do corpo técnico por militares. Nos quatro meses iniciais após o registro do primeiro caso de Covid-19, o Ministério da Saúde saiu da linha de frente das ações e os estados conduziram as principais medidas de enfrentamento por meio da compra de materiais e serviços da iniciativa privada. Instaurou-se falsa cisão entre as medidas sanitárias e as medidas de retomada econômica. A condução da saúde pública foi repassada para militares, alterando o campo técnico-político. O modo de gerir baseado na negação da epidemia e na ausência de proposições pelo Ministério da Saúde caracterizou-se pelo abandono às medidas de proteção à saúde, objetivado na pergunta ‘E daí?’, proferida pelo presidente da república quando questionado sobre os óbitos no Brasil.
Covid-19 pandemic: from carnival masks to surgical masks
Authors: Tzanno-Martins Carmen
Published: August 2020

Abstract Given the high transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 pandemic has a huge impact on our health system. Even in developed countries, strategic resources soon become insufficient. Although people over 60 and with comorbidities are at greater risk of developing severe forms, younger people may also require precious and scarce care. Hence, the World Health Organization recommend tests - PCR and serological tests - for detecting infected people on a large scale. The most common symptoms are fever, fatigue, dry cough, anorexia, myalgia, and dyspnea, with tomographic pulmonary findings being frequent even in asymptomatic cases. The Brazilian Society of Nephrology has published guidelines for the management of hypertensive, diabetic, dialysis, and transplant patients. In its alerts, care and precautions in dialysis units are also being detailed, both for the health team and for the patients. Although important renal manifestations are not yet evident in the admission of positive cases, recent studies with renal patients and performed in nephrology services are listed here. This pandemic lead us to learn from its progress in order to face new challenges in dialysis clinics, transplant services, and intensive care services.

Authors: Laureano Isla Camilla Carvalho , Farias Lunna , Cavalcanti Alessandro Leite
Published: August 2020

The effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the mental health of healthcare professionals has become a concern, particularly among those who are in close contact with infected patients, including dentists. The aim of this critical literature review was to analyze the possible implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of dentists. This bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases, using the following search keywords “Psychiatry OR anxiety OR fear OR depression OR psychological distress OR mental health” AND “COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2” AND “Dentists OR dental practice. Original research publications that included data on the mental health status of dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic were included. Data were tabulated in Microsoft Excel 2016 for Windows and descriptively presented. Eleven publications were eligible for this review. All studies had cross-sectional design. Most of them used questionnaires created by study researchers (81.8%) and were carried out in Italy (45.5%). The number of participants ranged from 14 to 1,500. Effects on the mental health of dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic were observed, regarding fear of contamination, anxiety, concerns, stress, depression, job insecurity, subjective overload, perceived risk and feelings and emotions. It was concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic had negative impact on the mental health of dentists, with high prevalence of fear, anxiety and concern, among other psychological symptoms.
Rendimiento del motor y análisis de emisiones utilizando biodiésel de Neem y Jatropha
Authors: Ali Mehmood , Rind Saqib Jamshed
Published: August 2020

This paper presents the production of biodiesel from indigenous species of Jatropha curcas and Neem (Azadirachta indica) oils, then its engine performance and emission characteristics of B10 blends measured at 1000 rpm. Biodiesel production yields were found 90% and 68% by weight from Jatropha curcas and Neem (Azadirachta indica), respectively. Three prepared biodiesel blends were 10% Neem biodiesel (NB10), 10% Jatropha biodiesel (JB10) and 5% Jatropha + 5% Neem biodiesels (NJB10). The engine emission test showed less carbon monoxide production from NB10 (94 +- 2.15 ppm), followed by JB10 (100+- 2.44ppm) and NJB10 (121 +- 3.65ppm) as compared to diesel (135+- 2.18ppm). However, the carbon dioxide emissions were found higher due to the better combustion characteristics of biodiesel blends as NB10 (3.21%), JB10 (3.06%) and NJB10 (2.53%) than diesel (2.13%) by volume. The reduced amounts of sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions were found with blended biodiesel fuel in comparison to mineral diesel. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions were 5 ppm from diesel at 73 C exhaust temperature, while it was increased by using blended biodiesel, to 8 ppm with NB10 due to higher exhaust temperatures 85;33 C. The measured engine power and torque produced from the blended biodiesel samples were slightly lower than the conventional diesel by 12% and 7.7%, respectively. The experimental results showed that an engine performance and emission characteristic of Neem biodiesel (NB10) was better as compared to other biodiesel blends.
CO2 mitigation strategies based on soil respiration
Authors: López-Teloxa Leticia Citlaly , Monterroso-Rivas Alejandro Ismael
Published: August 2020

Soil, in addition to storing is a source of CO2 to the atmosphere emitted by soil respiration, mainly due to land use change. The objective of the research was to evaluate soil respiration in different uses and quantify its CO2 emissions at two different times of the year, as well as estimate the storage of this to make a balance to establish strategies that allows with the climate change mitigation. Using a closed dynamic chamber placed on the soil and integrated with an infrared gas analyzer measured the CO2 emission every 30 min, as well as temperature and moisture of the soil with sensors. Three land uses (agroforestry, forestry and agricultural) and two seasons of the year (summer and winter) were analyzed for 24 continuous hours at each site. Positive correlation between ambient temperature and soil respiration was found to exist. The agricultural system stores low carbon content in the soil (50.31 t C ha-1) and emits 9.28 t of C ha-1 in the highest temperature season, in contrast to a natural system that emits 3.98 t of C ha-1 and stores 198.90 t of C ha-1. The balance sheet reflects the need to know CO2 emissions to the atmosphere from soils and not just warehouses. Having scientific support from the ground to the atmosphere is an important step in decision-making that will contribute to climate change mitigation.

Published: August 2020

This article discusses the use of green roofs as rainfall water storage in its soil matrix. The methodology is analytical based on mathematical models, where runoff produced in an urban area is compared with current conditions of ordinary roofs with ceramic or bituminous materials as the original scenario, against another where green roofs are used. The study area is located in the Palavecino municipality of Lara state in Venezuela, in the flood zone of Quebrada Tabure. In this research, a quantitative comparison of the direct runoff hydrographs of the proposed scenarios was used, obtaining as a main result the reduction of runoff between 60% and 80% according to the period of return. An interesting point of this research was the incorporation of the routing of hydrographs on the roofs, reducing even more the peak flow over 90%, and delaying the peak time of the generated hydrographs between 10 and 12 minutes while the total duration of the hydrographs increase more than three times.

The rarity of osteomalacia diseases in Russia and the opportunity to clarify the question of the effect of castration and surgery on Porro on the cure of osteomalacies only through extensive observations prompts me to publish the cases that I operated on on June 3, 1891 in the hospital of br. Bakhrushins, although he does not contain any data for explaining the mysterious influence of castration on osteomalacia.
FIRST INTERNATIONAL GYNECOLOGICAL CONGRESS IN BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 14-17 N.ST. 1892 YEAR
Authors: Hermonius A. K.
Published: August 2020

In my opinion, the indication for the excision of the uterus is the same as for the removal of the appendages by means of celiac disease. It is not the fact of suppuration that compels us to resort to a certain intervention, but the mutuality and the therapeutic incurability of circumambular suffering, and thus the objection falls by itself. I do not at all insist that indications for the excision of the uterus, set in this sense, cannot leave room for error, and I readily admit that preference should be given to gastrointestinal surgery every time the diagnosis seems doubtful. But I do not reject my conclusion and repeat it: if the excision of the uterus is left at least for those cases in which the bilateral suffering seems, on the basis of clinical data, as reliable as its therapeutic incurability, then I assert, that intervention through natural means retains all the advantages of a rational and fully justified operation.
TO CASUISTICS OF TOTAL REMOVAL OF THE UTERUS THROUGH VAGINA
Authors: Anufriev A. A.
Published: August 2020

One of the most interesting and important questions of operative gynecology was and is the question of surgical methods of treatment of uterine cancer. The task and purpose of each operative removal of a malignant neoplasm should be expressed, on the one hand, in its technical simplicity, and, on the other, in achieving the desired and final result, i.e., in the radical healing of the body, since the operation is undertaken under conditions with a predicted quo ad valetudinem, and not quo ad vitam. A whole galaxy of scientists, converging more or less in this complex and main goal of surgical intervention for uterine cancer, begins to break up into groups, as soon as it comes to the nature and extent of the spread of neoplasm in connection with the operative method, with indications and contraindications to it. These disagreements, depending both on the difficulty of determining in each given case microscopically the extent of cancer prevalence, and on the complexity of some of the problems, are the reason that the main surgical methods, such as: Amputatio infravaginalis colli uteri, supravaginalis, colpohysteroectomoectomia and laparohyster serve as controversial points in gynecology.

A case of Porro surgery for a narrow osteomalacia pelvis; recovery from osteomalacia
Authors: Soloviev A.
Published: August 2020

Having listed the indications for Porro's operation, noting the important role that osteomalacia plays among these indications and citing Fehling's statistical data in favor of the beneficial effect of Porro's operation on the cure of osteomalacia, the author cites a case of pregnancy in a VIII-giving woman with a pronounced osteomalacia. The process began from the time of the 6th pregnancy, 5 years ago; at the end of the 7th pregnancy (childbirth lasted a long time, but ended by the forces of nature), the patient could no longer walk, and by the end of the 8th pregnancy, the pelvic deformity was so strong that per vias naturales it was impossible to extract even a crushed fetus.
On the origin of cephalhaematomatis externi
Authors: Soloviev A.
Published: August 2020

The reason for the formation of an external blood tumor is mechanical damage to the head during childbirth. These injuries often occur when high forceps are applied, when, after bringing the head into the pelvic cavity, the forceps spoons are moved from the transverse to the oblique size of the pelvis. Under these conditions, the soft parts of the head and pericranium are easily kneaded, and the result is cephalhaematoma. To avoid this, the author does not move the forceps spoons, but, after bringing the head down into the small basin, removes the forceps, and then applies them again in the required oblique size. Difficulty in the introduction of the front spoon is easily eliminated if the spoon is inserted with the handle strongly lowered.

Published: August 2020

Objectives: Gutka is industrially manufactured in India and some Indian states have instituted bans on the sale of manufactured gutka as a public health initiative. We explored whether gutka was still available for purchase after the ban and also sought to observe methods of
ban circumvention. Methods: We visited 5 different markets at different locations separated by at least 15-20 km around the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) area, consisting of Mumbai and its satellite towns in Maharashtra, India during August- September, 2019. In each location, purveyors
were queried as to the availability of gutka. Results: Tobacco purchases were made in 5 locations/sections of MMR. At all markets, banned gutka was not displayed, and could only be purchased after requesting from the shopkeeper. Three methods of ban circumvention were observed: (1)
packages marked 'export only'; (2) use of twin packaging in which pan masala and tobacco are sold together for immediate mixing to create gutka; and, (3) non-descript packaging without mention of 'gutka'. Conclusions: Although not readily displayed in shops, gutka is readily available
in MMR, despite a statewide ban in Maharashtra. Marketers have used multiple methods to circumvent the statewide gutka ban.
Analyse critique de la pratique réflexive en sciences infirmières
Authors: Bernard Laurence
Published: August 2020

La pratique réflexive est une phase non linéaire incontournable de la démarche de soin qui fait appel à différents savoirs. Les étudiantes en sciences infirmières sont encouragées à y recourir afin de dispenser de soins de qualité aux patients, à leur famille et à la population. Toutefois, cette pratique devrait être considérée dans son contexte sociopolitique afin de prendre en compte les mécanismes de pouvoir ainsi que son potentiel d’assujettissement des corps des infirmières. Une analyse critique foucaldienne du concept de pratique réflexive permet de rendre visible des théories et pratiques pédagogiques assujettissantes lorsque l’aveu est privilégié au détriment d’une réflexion critique essentielle à la pratique infirmière. Elle interroge l’assujettissement des femmes au travers de modèles théoriques valorisant le ressenti aux dépends de d’autres types de savoirs. Le concept de pratique réflexive comporte un paradoxe : il appelle à la critique et à la libération, mais contient également des potentiels assujettissants.
Le décès périnatal comme bifurcation temporelle : les parcours de vie de femmes après une fausse couche
Authors: De Montigny Francine , Zeghiche Sabrina , De Montigny-Gauthier Pascale
Published: August 2020

Les effets d’un décès périnatal ont été largement documentés, mais on a rarement proposé un regard englobant sur le décès périnatal comme point de jonction temporelle à partir duquel bifurquent le parcours de vie des personnes touchées. L’approche processuelle permet de complexifier l’examen de la fausse couche en introduisant une conception « épaisse » de la temporalité, et d’examiner des phénomènes qui ont été jusqu’ici perçus indépendamment les uns des autres. Des entrevues semi-structurées ont été menées auprès de 48 femmes du Québec ayant vécu une fausse couche précoce. Une analyse thématique a permis de dégager quatre sphères touchées par cette bifurcation : 1. (para)professionnelle ; 2. conjugale ; 3. parentale ; 4. existentielle. L’analyse a permis ainsi de dégager les contours de la bifurcation générée par la fausse couche, en termes d’imprévisibilité, d’irréversibilité et de contagion, et de mettre en lumière les différents enchevêtrements qui sous-tendent cette bifurcation.
Contribution des théories au développement des savoirs infirmiers : une analyse critique
Authors: Nazon Evy
Published: August 2020

Selon plusieurs chercheurs, les sciences infirmières devraient s’appuyer sur les théories infirmières pour développer des savoirs scientifiques. Le but de leur approche consiste à empêcher l’éclectisme et produire des savoirs propres à la discipline. Dès lors, ces théories deviennent un cadre incontournable permettant d’assurer la reconnaissance et la valorisation de la discipline. Dans cet article, nous voulons présenter, avec l’approche généalogique de Foucault, une analyse qui permet d’appréhender la production des savoirs issus des théories infirmières sous un regard plus critique tout en faisant ressortir leur dimension politique.
EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING THE EVOLUTION OF THE BENDING SHAPE OF THIN SUBSTRATE BY THE COPPER ELECTROCRYSTALLIZATION IN AREAS OF COMPLEX SHAPES
Authors: Bychkov, P. S. , Lychev S. A. , Bout D. K.
Published: August 2020

The present paper is aimed of experimental technique of local incompatible deformations identificationin thin layers obtained as a result of electrocrystallization. The process of electrocrystallization is carried on thin substrates. Changes in time of form of these thin substrates are registered during the experiment. Identification of local incompatible deformations parameters is carried out from the condition of the minimum deflection of experimentally detected displacements and displacements that were determined by theoretical relations. As such a relationship the solution of a boundary value problem for a layer by layer growing plate is used in the paper. Significant difference of suggested technique from known methods is that testing electrocrystallization is carried out in areas of various forms. It allows to provide analysis of the influence that corner points of deposition areas boundary have on incompatible deformations caused by electrochemical process.
Clústeres fiscales municipales en la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey 2015
Authors: Moreno Ayala José Gerardo
Published: August 2020

Las zonas metropolitanas son el espacio urbano central del capitalismo global contemporáneo. Sin detrimento de su condición de nodos neurálgicos del sistema tecnológico, económico y político capitalista, son territorios fragmentados. Los gobiernos locales, quienes gestionan los espacios metropolitanos, enfrentan retos que requieren el conocimiento de sus condiciones fiscales. Los objetivos del estudio para la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey (ZMM) son: a) analizar la estructura de los ingresos municipales de la ZMM; b) determinar la capacidad fiscal autónoma y su dependencia de las transferencias federales, y c) construir clústeres jerárquicos municipales con base en las variables de capacidad fiscal autónoma, dependencia fiscal, capacidad de endeudamiento y capacidad fiscal total de los municipios metropolitanos. El método empleado es cuantitativo y apoyado por la técnica estadística de análisis de clústeres jerárquicos. Los resultados alcanzados son: a) la dependencia financiera hacia las transferencias federales determina el rasgo más importante y preocupante del perfil de la hacienda de los municipios metropolitanos; b) las transferencias federales son el concepto de ingreso que más ha aumentado la capacidad fiscal de los municipios y contribuido a reducir sus diferencias fiscales intrametropolitanas, y c) las capacidades fiscales autónomas de los municipios son el rubro de ingresos que caracteriza mayor desigualdad entre los municipios metropolitanos.
Derechos humanos, buenas prácticas y responsabilidad social. Aproximación cualitativa en empresas familiares
Authors: Soto Maciel Argentina , Saucedo Delgado Odra Angélica
Published: August 2020

El presente documento busca alentar el interés por realizar investigación cualitativa sobre las prácticas laborales en empresas familiares desde la perspectiva de la responsabilidad social empresarial. Para ello, se ponen en perspectiva los derechos humanos laborales fundamentales y su diligencia a través de buenas prácticas laborales, así como la interrelación de estas prácticas con las acciones voluntarias de responsabilidad social empresarial. La interrelación de estos conceptos se aborda desde la perspectiva teórica del modelo bidimensional de la responsabilidad social empresarial, el cual permite discriminar las prácticas laborales en función de la visión y el costo-beneficio que representan para la empresa. El análisis se desarrolla en empresas familiares industriales del sector de la moda en México, seleccionadas a través de una muestra no probabilística y bajo la metodología de caso de estudio. La información recabada y la presentación de resultados es tratada como casos específicos e independientes entre sí.

Визначено, що комерційні банки функціонують у складному операційному середовищі, а це зумовлено впливом низки факторів політичних, соціальних, економічних, що здебільшого є малопрогнозованими і деструктивними. Обґрунтовано зовнішні ключові параметри, через які опосередковується вплив на процес забезпечення фінансової безпеки банків. Досліджено взаємозв’язок між розміром ставки нормативів обов’язкового резервування і рівнем фінансової безпеки банку. Проаналізовано стан активів, зобов’язань і власного капіталу за групами банків упродовж 2012—2016 рр.. Визначено роль центрального банку в регулюванні діяльності банків щодо забезпечення їхньої фінансової безпеки. Обґрунтовано доцільність запровадження НБУ санкцій на проведення будь-яких фінансових операцій банків із російським капіталом на користь материнських структур. Визначено ключові проблеми, які стримують процес забезпечення фінансової безпеки банків у розрізі і функціональних складових (капітало-ресурсної безпеки, кредитно-інвестиційної, валютної та безпечного рівня доходів і витрат. Запропоновано методичний підхід до рейтингової оцінки банків за рівнем їхньої фінансової безпеки на основі аналізу показників-стимуляторів / дестимуляторів аналізованих банків. Обґрунтовано проведення рейтингової оцінки банку за рівнем його фінансової безпеки на основі порівняння j-го КБ з «еталоном» — банком, який має найкращі результати щодо кожного показника — максимальні значення для стимуляторів і мінімальні — для дестимуляторів. Рейтинг визначено як середнє арифметичне стандартизованих показників, зведених у матрицю ключових показників. Доведено необхідність групування аналізованих банків за рівнем їхньої фінансової безпеки. Обґрунтовано використання методу групування об’єктів дослідження як інструменту упорядкування аналізованих банків. Визначено емпіричним шляхом з обліком якісних, неформалізованих характеристик чотири групи банків за рівнем їхньої фінансової безпеки (з високим рівнем фінансової безпеки, достатнім, низьким і критичним).

The paper deals with basic approaches to monitoring of the currency risk. The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of the complex application of risk assessment methods to prevent the adoption of its excessive level, as well as instruments for monitoring the profitability of operations in the foreign exchange market, based on the calculation of the consolidated balanced index.

It was determined that in the context of the volatility of the national currency the exposure of banks to currency risk increases significantly, it means that is, the magnitude of the consequences of its manifestation for most financial intermediaries increases. The authors of the paper consider the system of currency risk management as a set of goals, principles, functions, methods, tools and specific techniques of purposeful, continuous influence of the management system on the managed one for timely estimation and monitoring of currency risk in order to minimize it and achieve specified parameters of currency yields.

In according to current management standards, implemented by leading financial institutions and international regulators, currency risk monitoring mechanisms must not only timely and effectively identify deviations from key risk targets, but also provide for the ability to identify unforeseen situations.

It was proved that that the monitoring tools, policies and procedures have to meet a number of criteria, which are taken into account at the achievement of the main goals of the bank and increase its resistance to external shocks on the foreign exchange market. Taking into account the fact that the value of currency risk by the ES metric is included in the calculation of the consolidated balanced index, the change in the regulatory regimes is made on the basis of the projected deviations of the CEI from the target corridor, recorded at the initial stage in determining the level of risk exposure of the bank. Thus, the proposed balanced approach to forecasting involves the use, on the one hand, of statistically reliable quantitative analysis tools and, on the other hand, qualitative environmental change signals that aggregate the benefits of structural methods, while providing the flexibility and timeliness of managerial decision-making. 

The specification of currency risk management regimes should be tailored to the specific features of a particular bank and have a combinatorial nature that involves the integration of individual impulses by analysis tools, forecasting, time horizons and levels of management, as well as in terms of components of the CEI consolidated balance sheet and risk level of activity in the foreign exchange market. This approach allows for the flexibility of management systems and their adaptability to the external conditions of the bank, and the use of quality monitoring signals increases the speed of decision-making and elimination of deficiencies that can be inherent in econometric assessment tools.

This article highlights theoretical and practical aspects of financial stability of modern domestic and foreign industrial companies with full cycle of extraction and processing of minerals.

It was detected that nowadays there is no clearly developed system of quantitative and target indicators of management of sustainable and efficient development of modern domestic and foreign industrial companies in conditions of uncertainty, economic instability and aggressive business environment.

Basing on the usage of world’s experience of usage of key models of multiple discriminatory analysis of assessment of probability of bankruptcy, we have developed relevant recommendations that disclose influence of negative trends on peculiarities of functioning of modern industrial leading companies and probability of termination of their activity in the nearest future.

Received scientific results and relevant financial and economic calculations must be used in context of making justified management decisions in modern industrial companies concerning provision of their successful functioning and increasing of the efficiency of their business activity with the possibility of strengthening of competitor positions on the external market of iron ore raw materials by means of implementation of programs of financial rehabilitation and anti-crisis measures in order to solve the priority tasks of updating energy-intensive and physically-worn technological complexes.

Basing on system research, the authors proposed scientific and methodical approach to substantiation of influence of key aspects of functioning of modern industrial domestic and foreign companies on the efficiency of their activity considering implementation of financial strategies of support and further effective usage of mineral deposits in difficult economic conditions.

In small and medium-sized businesses, the vast majority of the entire officially employed able-bodied population of the country is employed.

The number of employed people, small and medium enterprises, external factors have a significant influence, which depend on measures implemented by state authorities to stimulate the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the country.

In the scientific literature of different countries there are works based on the study of similar problems by conducting a survey among representatives of small and medium enterprises.

The imperfection of existing state supportive programs and the development of small and medium-sized businesses necessitates an urgent need to analyze their compliance with modern market conditions.

The study includes an analysis of the impact of various external factors on the number of employees in the small and medium-sized business.

A significant number of negative factors of influence on small and medium-sized businesses indicated in the state support and development programs do not really have a significant impact on the efficiency of the activities of such entities.The views of representatives of small and medium-sized businesses and state bodies do not coincide with the main problems of activity.

In order to increase the number of employed in small and medium-sized businesses, it is proposed to shift the emphasis of state support and development programs to the established key factors of influence.

Актуальність теми дослідження полягає в тому, що для досягнення основної мети діяльності суб’єкта господарювання — отримання прибутку, такий аспект як розроблення раціональних пропорцій розподілу прибутку і вироблення оптимальної дивідендної політики, є одним з основних складових забезпечення ефективності діяльності підприємства. Метою дослідження стала розробка методичного підходу до визначення оптимальної дивідендної політики підприємств на основі залежності оптимальної норми дивідендних виплат від структури капіталу підприємств в Україні. Методологічну основу дослідження становить метод багатофакторного регресійного аналізу. На основі цього методу України розроблено поліноміальну регресійну модель складних зв’язків між нормою дивідендних виплат і показниками ефективності діяльності підприємств. Вибір підприємств здійснений за такими критеріями: організаційно-правова форма акціонерного товариства; підприємства здійснюють виплату дивідендів. Період дослідження — 2000—2018 роки. Для перевірки сценаріїв реалізації політики дивідендних виплат розраховано показник еластичності чистого прибутку підприємств, які сформували статистичну базу дослідження, від рівня дивідендних виплат. Для визначення оптимального рівня дивідендних виплат, за якого максимізується позитивний ефект (E = max), побудовано систему функції для різної структури капіталу підприємств і на основі проведення експериментів з цією системою визначено оптимальний рівень дивідендних виплат. Для визначення оптимального типу дивідендної політики, виходячи із рівня дивідендних виплат, оціненого у відсотках від чистого прибутку компанії, використано метод шкалювання за законом Фібоначчі. Розраховано діапазон кількісних рівнів дивідендних виплат досліджуваних компаній, відповідно до якого визначено тип оптимальної політики щодо сформованої структури капіталу компанії. Такий підхід дозволяє визначити відповідний тип дивідендної політики з урахуванням фінансового стану компаній з метою максимізації її ринкової вартості. Утилізує суб’єктивізм у процесі оптимізації дивідендної політики компанії і забезпечує достовірність результатів оцінки оптимального рівня дивідендних виплат. Сприяє підвищенню ефективності чистого прибутку компаній і нарощування потенціалу максимізації їхньої ринкової вартості.

Using data from 41 countries for the 2013—2018 period, the dependence of GDP growth on the rule of law index that is calculated by the non-governmental organization World Justice Project has been estimated. Compared to other specialized indicators for assessing compliance with the rule of law, such as the World Governance Indicator, the International Country Risk Guide, or the Index of Judicial Independence, the WJP differs more fully into actual legal practice (not only the quality of legislation) by combining expert judgment with the results of questionnaires surveys of residents of the country. Cross‒regression estimates for the 2013—2018 averages are quite contradictory for the general sample of countries, but a direct dependence of economic growth on the rule of law has been obtained for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. IfUkrainerose from the current level of the WJP index (0.50) to the level ofGeorgia(0.61), it allows to increase the GDP growth rate by 0.6 percentage points. Estimates for panel data using the a random effects model (RE) confirm the direct relationship between the state of the rule of law and eco‒economic growth for CEE and the former Soviet Union, whereas a weak inverse relationship between the two indicators can be observed in Asia andLatin America. The results show that it is advisable to strengthen the rule of law in transformational economies, while this is not urgent measures in the other studied countries. The overall study does not deny the possibility of economic growth without advancing the legal foundations or deepening the process of democratization of political life, but this does not apply to the CEE countries and the formerSoviet Union. In the extended specification of the regression model, it seems that the favorable influence of the rule of law on GDP dynamics for transformational economies can be realized by slowing down inflation. At the same time, no dependence of inflation on the WJP has been found for Asian and Latin American countries; there is also no effect of consumer prices on economic growth. It is noticeable that estimates for the general sample of countries show the negative impact of only high inflation — over 15% per annum. Among other results, the direct relationship between investment and GDP growth is worth noting, regardless of the regression model chosen. This is in line with the standard assumptions of economic theory and, accordingly, reinforces the argument for the protection of property rights as a means of stimulating the investment process.
