Published: November 2018

El presente trabajo de investigación, tuvo como problemática estudiar las causas de la evasión tributaria y su efecto en la economía del Perú 2014 – Rubro Servicios. Para tal caso se utilizó la Metodología de Revisión Bibliográfica y Documental, con la finalidad de recolectar información que nos permita abordar el tema objeto de estudio basados en indagar los mecanismos más recurrentes en nuestro país para evadir tributos, conocer además los segmentos y comportamientos tributarios de los contribuyentes que evaden sus responsabilidades y buscan alternativas que afectan la economía del país y los entes fiscalizadores que representan al Estado Peruano. La investigación ha conllevado a enterarnos de múltiples causas de evasión tributaria, que aqueja a nuestro país y afecta en la recaudación fiscal. El marco teórico nos ha servido para entender, comprender los lineamientos que giran alrededor de la sociedad, las políticas económicas que posee el Estado para recaudar ingresos y como utilizarlos en beneficio de la colectividad, además de las obligaciones tributarias que deben cumplir las personas naturales y jurídicas que ejercen actividades económicas y que una u otra manera contribuye a sostener las obligaciones Sociales del Estado frente a la sociedad. Por lo tanto se concluye que la evasión tributaria solo se evitará cuando se tome conciencia que la tributación no es una obligación si no un deber con el Estado Peruano.

Зв’язок SWI-інтенсивності та легкої паркінсонічної симптоматики в пацієнтів із хворобою дрібних судин
Authors: Petrenko M.S.
Published: November 2018

Актуальність. Легка паркінсонічна симптоматика (ЛПС) (mild parkinsonian sіgns) може бути проявом нейродегенеративного процесу, результатом дисциркуляторної енцефалопатії або проявлятися як наслідок цих двох процесів, що перебігають паралельно та посилюють один одного. Мета дослідження: виявити, чи існує взаємозв’язок між зміною магнітної сприйнятливості підкіркових структур головного мозку та наявністю легкої паркінсонічної симптоматики в пацієнтів із хронічною ішeмією мозку. Матеріали та методи. Для дослідження були відібрані 82 пацієнти, у яких було діагностовано дисциркуляторну енцефалопатію та виключено нейродегенеративні захворювання. Усім пацієнтам було виконано магнітно­резонансну томографію (МРТ) у послідовностях T1­WI, T2­WI, TIRM, DWI, SWI. Наявність MPS діагностувалася за допомогою третьої секції шкали UPDRS. Результати. За допомогою U­критерію Манна — Уїтні було виявлено, що пацієнти з ЛПС мали вірогідно вищі рівні магнітної сприйнятливості підкіркових структур і, як наслідок, більшу кількість гіпоінтенсивних вокселів на МРТ­зображеннях у SWI­послідовності. Програмне забезпечення 3D Slicer використовувалося для сегментації підкіркових структур за рівнями інтенсивності сигналу. У пацієнтів із ЛПС було виявлено більшу кількість гіпоінтенсивних вокселів у блідих кулях, шкаралупі та чорних субстанціях обох півкуль. Після врегулювання за віком та балом шкали Fazekas було виявлено, що ЛПС найбільше асоційована із збільшенням кількості вокселів вираженої гіпоінтенсивності (SI < 75) у правій блідій кулі (OR 1,29, CI 1,08–1,55). Висновки. Підвищення рівнів гіпоінтенсивності підкіркових структур, що виявляються на SWI МРТ­знімках, можуть бути асоційовані з ЛПС у пацієнтів із хворобою дрібних судин головного мозку.

Exploitation of the Didactic Potential of the COCA in Task-Based Language Teaching Involving Cultural References
Authors: Lopes António
Published: November 2018

The Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies) on the Brigham Young University website has been used in the English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom to help learners better understand how language works at different levels of analysis and also to develop their writing skills. However, it also allows learners to explore culture-related content, by giving them access to invaluable information about social, ideological, political and historical contexts. Moreover, it provides the means to examine the ways in which such aspects intersect with language and condition its use. The understanding of this cultural and discursive dimension of language is pivotal in the training of undergraduate students in the areas of humanities and social sciences. To determine how far the COCA can contribute to increase this awareness, a series of task-based activities involving writing was drawn up and carried out in an EFL class of undergraduate students. They were first introduced to this corpus analysis tool and encouraged to explore it further. Later on, in order to complete a writing task, they were prompted to resort to a series of strategies to collect information about relevant events, personalities and social or cultural phenomena, to analyse and interpret data, and to draw conclusions about the modes in which culture and language can interact. This paper provides (a) the rationale and a brief literature review on this topic, (b) a description of the task-based activities, the implementation process, the students’ strategies and the evaluation procedures, and (c) a critical reflection on this study that may open the path for further developments in this area.
Numerical Studies of Nonlinear Gearing Models Using Bond Graph Method
Authors: Margielewicz J. , Wojnarowski J. , Zawiślak S.
Published: November 2018

The present paper is dedicated to computer simulations performed using a numerical model of a one-stage gear. The motion equations were derived utilizing the bond graph method. The formulated model takes into consideration the variable stiffness of toothings as well as an inter-tooth clearance which has been represented via discontinuous elements with so called dead zones. As a result of these assumptions, the nonlinear model was obtained which enables representation of the dynamic phenomena of the considered gear. In the paper, an influence of errors of gear wheels’ co-operation on the character of excited dynamic phenomena was studied. The methodology of the analyses consists in utilization of the following tools: color maps of distribution of the maximal Lapunov coefficient and bifurcation diagrams. Based upon them, the parameters were determined, for which the Poincare portrait represents a structure of the chaotic attractor. For the identified attractors, the initial attractors were calculated numerically - which along with the changes of the control parameters are subjected to multiplication, stretching or rotation.
Linear Stability Effect of Densely Distributed Porous Medium and Coriolis Force on Soret Driven Ferrothermohaline Convection
Authors: Sekar R. , Murugan D.
Published: November 2018

The effect of Coriolis force on the Soret driven ferrothermohaline convection in a densely packed porous medium has been studied. A linear stability analysis is carried out using normal mode technique. It is found that stationary convection is favorable for the Darcy model, therefore oscillatory instability is studied. A small thermal perturbation is applied to the basic state and linear stability analysis is used for which the normal mode technique is applied. It is found that the presence of a porous medium favours the onset of convection. The porous medium is assumed to be variable and the effect of the permeable parameter is to destabilize the system. The present work has been carried out both for oscillatory as well as stationary instabilities. The results are depicted graphically.

Authors: Sharma A.K. , Sharma P. , Chauhan P.S. , Bhadoria S.S.
Published: November 2018

This paper presents the harmonic and vibration analysis of functionally graded plates using the finite element method. Initially, the plates are assumed isotropic and the material properties of it are assumed to vary continuously through their thickness direction according to a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the plate constituents. The four noded shell element is used to analyse the functionally graded plates. Four functionally graded plates-Al/Al2O3, Al/ZrO2, Ti–6Al–4V/Aluminium oxide, and SUS304/Si3N4 are considered in the study, and their results are obtained so that the right choice can be made in applications in high temperature environment and in reducing the vibration amplitudes in applications such as aircrafts, rockets, missiles, etc. Numerical results for the natural frequency and harmonic response amplitude are presented. Results are compared and validated with available results in the literature. Effects of boundary conditions, material and damping on natural frequency and harmonic response of the functionally graded plates are also investigated.

Authors: Christiawan Putu Indra
Published: November 2018

Deforestation is a serious threat to areas with large forest resources. Indonesia as a tropical country has a vast forest in every region. Weak supervision leads to more deforestation cases being carried out by local communities, with negative consequences that directly lead to the local community. The involvement of local communities in managing forests is absolutely necessary. The study in this paper shows that local people have learned hard from the consequences of deforestation, and then learned to live harmoniously with nature in their local wisdom. Based on the results of the study shows that: (1) deforestation gives little benefit and is temporary compared to the prolonged negative impacts in the form of drought disaster, and on the other hand, (2) deforestation is a driving force in the creation of cultural landscape that makes people in Selat Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province is able to live harmoniously with the God’s, human and with the environment.

Authors: Kaoru Watanabe Wilbert Julieta , Durst Susanne , Aisenberg Ferenhof Helio , Selig Paulo
Published: November 2018

This paper presents a case study that addresses factors that influence unlearning at the individual level. These factors were studied in a public sector organization located in a country characterized by high power distance. The case organization went through a change process of a daily routine caused by the introduction of a new technology. Data were collected through semi structured face-to-face interviews with shop floor agents in the state of Santa Catarina/Brazil. The results highlight the strong influence of the support of formal leaders on the unlearning process of individuals, suggesting that managers operating in a high power distance environment have to make bigger efforts compared to their counterparts in small power distance settings to promote unlearning processes of employees. The study advances the limited body of knowledge regarding unlearning in general and unlearning at the individual level in particular. It also stresses the influence of the national cultural dimension on the unlearning process of individuals.
Opening up Corporate Foresight: What Can We Learn from Open and User Innovation?
Authors: Korreck Sabrina
Published: November 2018

Organizations find themselves in a fast-paced and increasingly complex and uncertain environment. Hence, they engage in foresight to understand weak signals and developments that may affect them in the medium to long run and build up "strategic preparedness". Literature on open and user innovation has described methods to tap into external knowledge sources and some have potential to enhance foresight results, but research has not yet fully benefitted from these insights. Thus, the aim of this article is to synthesize findings from both literatures and explain why users and user collectives are a valuable knowledge source for foresight. The contributions of the paper are twofold. First, the paper provides a typology of methods, which are suitable for drawing on user knowledge. Second, the identified methods are compared with regard to their advantages, disadvantages and boundary conditions.

Published: November 2018

Asymmetric synthesis of the biologically active xanthone dimer griffipavixanthone (GPX) is reported along with its absolute stereochemistry determination. Synthesis of the natural product is accomplished via dimerization of a p-quinone methide (p-QM) using a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst to afford a protected precursor in excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies, including an unbiased computational investigation of chiral ion-pairs using parallel tempering (PT), were performed in order to probe the mode of asymmetric induction
Assessing the Conformational Equilibrium of Carboxylic Acid via QM and MD Studies on Acetic Acid
Authors: Lim Victoria T. , Bayly Christopher I. , Fusti-Molnar Laszlo , Mobley David
Published: November 2018

Accurate hydrogen placement in molecular modeling is crucial for studying the interactions and dynamics of biomolecular systems. It is difficult to locate hydrogen atoms from many experimental structural characterization approaches, such as due to the weak scattering of x-ray radiation. Hydrogen atoms are usually added and positioned in silico when preparing experimental structures for modeling and simulation. The carboxyl functional group is a prototypical example of a functional group that requires protonation during structure preparation. To our knowledge, when in their neutral form, carboxylic acids are typically protonated in the syn conformation by default in classical molecular modeling packages, with no consideration of alternative conformations, though we are not aware of any careful examination of this topic. Here, we investigate the general belief that carboxylic acids should always be protonated in the syn conformation. We calculate and compare the relative energetic stabilities of syn and anti acetic acid using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We show that while the syn conformation is the preferred state, the anti state may in some cases also be present under normal NPT conditions in solution.

Published: November 2018

Self-organization is one of the most intriguing phenomena of chemical matter. While the self-assembly of macrocycles and cages in dilute solution has been extensively studied, it remains poorly understood in solvent-free environments. Here, we provide the first example of using anionic templates to achieve selective assembly of differently sized macrocycles in a solvent-free system. Using the acid-catalyzed synthesis of cyclohexanohemicucurbiturils as a model system, we demonstrate size-controlled quantitative synthesis of 6- or 8-membered macrocycles, taking place through spontaneous anion-directed re-organization of mechanochemically-obtained oligomers in the solid state.

Authors: Bilev N. A. 
Published: November 2018

In modern electronic stock exchanges there is an opportunity to analyze event driven market microstructure data. This data is highly informative and describes physical price formation which makes it possible to find complex patterns in price dynamics. It is very time consuming and hard to find this kind of patterns by handcrafted rules. However, modern machine learning models are able to solve such issues automatically by learning price behavior which is always changing. The present study presents profitable trading system based on a machine learning model and market microstructure data. Data for the research was collected from Moscow stock exchange MICEX and represents a limit order book change log and all market trades of a liquid security for a certain period. Logistic regression model was used and compared to neural network models with different configuration. According to the study results logistic regression model has almost the same prediction quality as neural network models have but also has a high speed of response which is very important for stock market trading. The developed trading system has medium frequency of deals submission that lets it to avoid expensive infrastructure which is usually needed in high-frequency trading systems. At the same time, the system uses the potential of high quality market microstructure data to the full extent. This paper describes the entire process of trading system development including feature engineering, models behavior comparison and creation of trading strategy with testing on historical data.

Published: November 2018

The service industry plays an important role in a nation's economy including higher education services. The performance of the quality of higher education services is determined by the quality of service delivery provided to the students. Quality of service in education is determined by the extent to which student needs and expectations can be met. How well students will later perceive the quality of their educational services will greatly contribute to the continuity of universities in the dynamics of long-term competition. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze how the quality of service of Maranatha Christian University is viewed from the gap between the service experienced and the expected service. The service quality measurement instrument uses seven factors: contact personnel (faculty/ lecturer), reputation, physical evidence, contact personnel (administration), curriculum, responsiveness, and access to facilities. The technique used is simple random sampling with 418 respondents. Measurement instruments are tested using validity test, reliability test, and Importance and Performance Analysis (IPA). Based on the results of data processing using IPA five things that have not been matched as expected by the student when the five things are considered important by students. These are classroom arrangement, classroom comfort, immediate announcement notice, availability of parking space, and availability of access to nonclassroom learning.

Integrating Biomimicry and Geoinformatics: A Designerly Approach to Underwater Colonization
Authors: Varinlioğlu Güzden , Pasin Burkay
Published: November 2018

Underwater space has been the subject of various scientific fields. In the field of architectural design, projects are generally limited to the areas of construction techniques for underwater as a civil engineering problem; underwater tourism; and underwater research. A much less researched area is ocean colonisation -permanent human settlement of oceans- and its architecture. This paper focuses on a case study of a workshop entitled “Mission Aquarius”, as part of the architectural design studio. It treats oceanography in the context of extreme environments, and explores the use of biomimicry as a design approach, and the use of geoinformatics as site selection method. We encouraged students to explore various stages of scientific knowledge at the design level, and to employ various CAD/CAM tools. It is important to emphasize that the curriculum is a studio-based architectural design education with limited access to scientific data. It is aimed to integrate geoinformatics and biomimicry into the design studio, and to allow students to explore new contexts for design.
Spatial distribution and sources of BTEX and TPH contamination in freshwater sediments from Lake Iznik, NW Turkey
Authors: Ünlü V. Selma , Alpar Bedri
Published: November 2018

Iznik Lake is an
important water supply deteriorating gradually due to anthropogenic pollution.
Concentration and distribution of monoaromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and three xylene isomers; BTEX) were detected in the lake
sediments using a static headspace GC-MS. ∑BTEX concentrations varied between
10.6 and 272.3 µg kg-1 dry weight (dw), with an average of 88.3 µg
kg-1 dw. The light aromatic fraction of m-,p-Xylene was the most abundant compound (50.0% in average),
followed by toluene (31.2%), o-xylene (12.2%), ethylbenzene (5.3%) and benzene
(1.3%). Multivariate statistical analyses indicated that the BTEX levels and
their distributions were controlled mainly by morphological and textural
features of the sediment; anthropogenic inputs transported by the surrounding
rivers, mainly influenced by agricultural facilities; absorbance of BTEX
compounds in sediment; and biodegradation processes. Due to lack of any
national sediment quality guideline regarding BTEX, the results will establish
a significant baseline that will shed light on the administrative authorities
for formulating their rational environmental strategies.

Heritage
and culture are two important components for the historical sites all over the
world. Furthermore, cultural heritage is an important term regarding the
question of how such historical sites may be valued. Cultural heritage areas of
countries have great significance in terms of history, tourism, recognition of
the country and economy. Not only having historical heritage is important, but
also it is very important to protect and revitalize these sites. For this
purpose, UNESCO lists the heritage sites with the aim of helping the countries.
In this regard, Turkey has nine historical premises under protection by UNESCO,
and one of them is the Safranbolu historical city. The main goal of this study is the 3D
modelling of all historical constructions as similar to real status in
Safranbolu historical city and the creation of an information system. Firstly, a GIS-based management system has been developed
through cultural heritage documentation for this historical city. All
registered historical buildings and 3D models of selected buildings that are
produced using close range photogrammetric technique are assigned within the
database. Data coming from different sources related to these registered

Many of the Indo-Pacific
originated marine alien species are accepted to be introduced to the Eastern Mediterranean
from Red Sea after the opening of Suez Canal and then dispersed towards the
Western Mediterranean, as well as the Aegean Sea. However, alien foraminifer
species, such as Spiroloculina
antillarum, Coscinospira hemprichii, Peneroplis pertusus, P. planatus, Sorites
orbiculus, Astacolus insolithus, Siphonina tubulosa, Amphistegina lessonii and
A. lobifera have been found in the
sediments from southeastern Turkey, which dated much before the Suez Canal. In
Akkuyu (Mersin) Amphistegina lobifera
were found to be abundant in sediment samples and the OSL (thermolunisence)
method surprisingly revealed ages, 227.3±17.8 (Middle Pleistocene), 87.7±9.6
(Late Pleistocene) and 6.0±0.6 (Holocene) thousand years before present. This
finding suggests that some alien foraminifers might have entered the Eastern
Mediterranean, not from Suez Canal, but through the Red Sea-Gulf of Aqaba-Dead
Sea Fault line and Arabian Gulf-Mesopotamia Basin. 

As a result, the historical
pathways, other than Suez Canal should be taken into consideration when
defining the mode of introduction for Indo-Pacific originated alien species
found in the Mediterranean.
Periodontitis como factor de riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares
Authors: Monzón J. , Acuña M. , Caramello C. , Sesín J.
Published: November 2018

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares representan una de las principales causas de muerte en las sociedades desarrolladas. Estas enfermedades no sólo son importantes por la mortalidad que generan, sino por la gran cantidad de individuos afectados y en tratamiento que han de soportar los sistemas de salud de los distintos países. De ahí que la detección precoz de los factores de riesgo conducentes a desencadenar estas enfermedades haya sido vista como el mecanismo más eficaz para prevenirlas. En los últimos tiempos se viene relacionando de una manera más o menos directa a la patología periodontal con el padecimiento de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Este hecho podría tener una gran relevancia clínica y probablemente epidemiológica, debido a la considerable prevalencia actual de las enfermedades periodontales. En la presente revisión se analizan los factores clínicos y fisiopatológicos que dan soporte científico a esta asociación, llegándose a la conclusión de que hacen falta más estudios, para tener la evidencia de que dicha asociación, representa un factor de riesgo determinante para el padecimiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares.

Medical students’ attitude towards Psychiatry and Mental Disorders
Authors: Adhikari SR
Published: November 2018

Introduction: It is always difficult to attract medical students’ interest in Psychiatry as a career choice. Most of the students have negative views of Psychiatry even before entering medical school such as 1) stigma on patients and psychiatrists. 2) Unscientific specialty with less prestige. 3) Derogatory remarks by other specialty physicians. 4) Less financial return. This study was done to evaluate and analyze medical students’ attitude towards psychiatry at their different levels of medical career.Material and Method: Medical students from three different years were surveyed to assess their perception and attitude on psychiatry and related matters. First year students were surveyed when they joined within 2 weeks in medical college. Third year were given questionnaire at the first day of Psychiatry clerkship and 4th year students were also given on the first day of posting.Results: 280 students from 1st year (61 out of 100), 3rd year (79 out of 104) and 4th year (70 out of 76) studying MBBS were surveyed. Majority of students from different levels preferred medicine, surgery, pediatric when they first joined medical college and their current preference choice of specialization. Fifteen out of 61 first year students planned to join Psychiatry when they entered medical college which changed to 11 while they were enquired about current planning.Conclusion: Medical colleges need comprehensive course in Psychiatry that involves inpatient and outpatient to create interest in Psychiatry and we need strong advocacy to decrease stigma of “Psychiatry as a career choice” among medical students.J Psychiatrists’ Association of Nepal Vol .6(1), 2017, p.18-23

СУЧАСНА ВІЙНА НА СХОДІ УКРАЇНИ ОЧИМА РЯДОВОГО
Authors: Зеркаль Микола
Published: November 2018

Сучасна українська держава змушена доводити своє право на життя не лише політично, а також і збройним опором загарбникам. Триваюча з 2014р. збройна агресія на Сході України демонструє велику кількість прикладів самопожертви та патріотизму. Внаслідок того, що збройний конфлікт триває і по сьогодні – більшість інформації з офіційних джерел залишається засекреченою та недосяжною для наукового дослідження, але існує можливість отримати інформацію від безпосередніх учасників. Головною метою дослідження є вивчення особистих вражень учасника історичної події та критичний аналіз історичних передумов які спонукали людину стати патріотом та героєм сьогодні. Результати дослідження можуть стати корисними при підготовці військово-патріотичних заходів вчителями та як історичне джерело для науковців.
СЛУЖІННЯ МИСТЕЦТВУ: ГАЛИНА ГІЛЯРІВНА ЯБЛОНСЬКА
Authors: Лісовська Ольга
Published: November 2018

У статті зроблена спроба комплексного висвітлення життя та діяльності української акторки героїчного плану, громадської діячки, народної артистки УРСР, члена Національної спілки театральних діячів України, актриси Національного академічного драматичного театру ім. І.Франка, володарки театральної премії родини А. М. Бучми «Бронек», Президента Міжнародної Ліги «Матері і сестри ‑ молоді України», художнього керівника Героїчного театру «Пам'ять» ‑ Галини Гілярівни Яблонської. Автор поставив собі за мету розглянути основні віхи творчого становлення акторки та виокремити відзнаки держави протягом життєвого шляху. Відзначено громадську активність Галини Гілярівни, що втілилась у роботі в Міжнародній лізі «Матері і сестри ‑ молоді України», викладанні у Київському військовому ліцеї ім. І.Богуна. навчанні акторській майстерності, постановці вистав. Як висновок, зазначено, що Галина Гілярівна Яблонська ‑ геніальне втілення таланту, вічної краси й нескореності долі, як і самої буремності часу. А ще ‑ унікальний приклад служіння Україні, її народу саме через мистецтво. Бо ніщо інше, за її словами, не здатне так глибинно розбудити народну пам’ять, самоідентичність, так міцно сформувати в людині найкращі прояви патріотизму й любові. І ніщо інше, як краса мистецтва не здатна так творчо наснажувати людину на творення цього добра в ім’я інших, своєї землі й нащадків.
ВІД СТРАТЕГІЧНОГО ПАРТНЕРСТВА ДО ПРАГМАТИЗМУ: ПОЛЬСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКІ СТОСУНКИ В 2005-2017 РР.
Authors: Єндращик Катажина
Published: November 2018

Натхненням для написання цієї статті була поява публікації Войцеха Конончука (Konończuk, 2018) в журналі «Nowa Europa Wschodnia» («Нова Східна Європа»), в якій він поставив перед польськими політиками завдання перевірити так звані «доктрини Гедройця» (Giedroyc, 1994). Текст викликав полеміку серед дослідників цієї проблематики в наступному номері «Нова Східна Європа».У даній статті здійснено аналітичний огляд найважливіших подій, що впливають на якість двосторонньої політики, та зроблено спробу оцінити важливість цього періоду для двосторонніх відносин. Після вступу Польщі до Європейського Союзу відносини з Україною почали виразно розвиватися від стратегічного партнерства до відносин, які можна назвати «прагматичними». Українсько-польські відносини в 2005-2017 роках характеризувалися змінною інтенсивністю. Окремі етапи цих відносин залежали від внутрішньої ситуації в обох країнах та зовнішніх чинників, насамперед, від позиції Росії та Європейського Союзу. Незважаючи на багато зусиль, а також заяв верхівок, великі труднощі спостерігались у подоланні взаємної недовіри та історичних суперечок (питання інтерпретації подій на Волині в 1943 році, злочинами ОУН-УПА на Волині та питаннями пам'яті жертв, а також інтерпретації значення ОУН-УПА та її лідерів в історії Польщі та України).Аналіз дає змогу сформулювати висновок про те, що у сфері двосторонніх відносин у період з 2005 по 2017 р. відбулося чітке переформатування взаємин, що викликало видимі поточні труднощі у двосторонньому діалозі.Двосторонні відносини вийшли на якісно інший рівень. Вони перевірялися і зіткнулися з прагматизмом – викликом з боку складної внутрішньої та міжнародної ситуації. В умовах тісних соціально-економічних зв'язків, пов'язаних з трудовою міграцією українських громадян до Польщі та одночасно складними проблемами в історичній політиці обох країн, взаємини вийдуть на складний етап. Необхідним є розумне реформування двосторонніх відносини.
