The purpose. Studying changes in the image of large cities after hosting major sport events, based on Internet metric indicators, is a new effective area in sport management. Its attractiveness is associated with unique information that is difficult to obtain with classical research methods and its applicability to the scientific- cognitive process and on practice. The main purpose of the study is to identify changes in the popularity of Russian cities and their attractiveness for Google users during and after the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Research methods and organization. The article reveals methodology, main indicators and specific results of a study of the impact of the 2018 World Cup on the popularity of Russian cities on the Internet and on their attractiveness. We analyzed data obtained using the “Google. Trends” tool for assessment of user interest on the Internet, as “Google” is the most common search engine in the world [Alexa, 2019].
Research results The results revealed that after the World Cup popularity indicators returned to their previous level, and in some cities, they even decreased. Despite the fact that the observation period lasted for one year,
the most popular queries in the global Internet space in Russian cities were about World Cup matches and related events. Users from around the world had little interest in the history or culture of cities. In addition, the CIS countries traditionally became the main producers of popularity during the observation period.
Conclusion. The analysis revealed that there were no changes in the popularity of Russian cities in the global Internet space after the World Cup. In addition, there was a decline in interest for some cities. Russian cities were extremely attractive for users of the Internet space only during the World Cup.

Authors: Aranson Max , Ozolin Edvin , Tuponogova Olga
Published: March 2020

Aim of this paper is the analysis of the current issue of correction of body weight and body composition of wrestlers according to the literature.

Research methods and organization. We carried out the review of the studies on the methods of correction (maintenance or change) of body weight and body composition, as well as the associated conservation of water balance in representatives of the Olympic martial arts. We reviewed the studies published in domestic and foreign scientific literature.

Research results. It is a well-known fact that decrease in the caloric content of the diet goes together with an in- adequate and significant decrease in the intake of basic nutrients. Increased weight loss can cause pathological body changes and even death. This problem is especially significant for women's sports. The current practice of rapid weight reduction results in the loss of liquid; however, such methods are still popular, despite the actual evidence of their harmful effects on the body.

Conclusion. Main methods of overcoming problems occurring during correction of body weight and body composition include regulation of competition rules, health control in a pre-competition period and training in sport activities.

Teaching Fiction: Challenges and Remedies for College Students and Instructors
Authors: Zaiter Walid Ali
Published: March 2020

I have been teaching fiction for a number of years and every time I walk into class to teach my students fiction, a short story or a novel, I get embarrassed to find out that my students who have taken courses such as “The Rise of the Novel, or “Introduction to Literature” still do not know to answer basic questions related to such courses. What is literature? What are the major genres of literature? What is fiction? What are the basic elements of fiction? These questions are fundamentals for literature students. Their inability of not answering them will cause big problems for college instructors presuming that students should have known these questions during the time they were students taking these courses above mentioned. These challenges rise when I first meet with my students taking fiction as university requirement. I ask them individually to answer these questions, to which they are unable to answer in good English. They just use words or phrases to answer, which adds a new challenge. There I have to stop and tell them. First, how to answer these questions using good English. Then I proceed with the answering the questions myself, so they are on the right track from the first day of meeting with them. Thus, this paper discusses the challenges of teaching fiction and provides ways, methods or remedies to handle them. It provides benefits of reading fiction for students and teachers. Finally, it demonstrates the delivery plan offered by the college in which I teach and the changes I have made on the original plan so that both can suit and achieve the desired learning outcomes.

Micro-combs - optical frequency combs generated by integrated micro-cavity
resonators – offer the full potential of their bulk counterparts, but in an
integrated footprint. The discovery of temporal soliton states (DKS –
dissipative Kerr solitons) as a means of mode-locking micro-combs has enabled
breakthroughs in many fields including spectroscopy, microwave photonics,
frequency synthesis, optical ranging, quantum sources, metrology and more. One
of their most promising applications has been optical fibre communications where
they have enabled massively parallel ultrahigh capacity multiplexed data
transmission. Here, by using a new and powerful class of micro-comb
called “soliton crystals”, we achieve unprecedented data transmission over
standard optical fibre using a single integrated chip source. We demonstrate a line
rate of 44.2 Terabits per second (Tb/s) using the telecommunications C-band at
1550nm with a spectral efficiency – a critically important performance metric -
of 10.4 bits/s/Hz. Soliton crystals exhibit robust and stable generation and
operation as well as a high intrinsic efficiency that, together with a low soliton
micro-comb spacing of 48.9 GHz enable the use of a very high coherent data modulation
format of 64 QAM (quadrature amplitude modulated). We demonstrate error free
transmission over 75 km of standard optical fibre in the laboratory as well as in
a field trial over an installed metropolitan optical fibre network. These
experiments were greatly aided by the ability of the soliton crystals to
operate without stabilization or feedback control. This work demonstrates the capability
of optical soliton crystal micro-combs to perform in demanding and practical optical
communications networks.

A PRESENÇA DAS MULHERES E SUA REPRESENTATIVIDADE EM CARGOS DE LIDERANÇA
Authors: Roberta Marques Felix Carla , Verginio da Silva Sidney
Published: March 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar um tema que se tornou essencial para o desenvolvimento das empresas e da sociedade: a presença das mulheres e sua representatividade em cargos de liderança. Vive-se em uma era onde tem sido recorrente deixar-se de lado o antigo estereótipo de que determinado curso e profissão só deve ser exercido por homens. A cultura vem mudando e com ela, em especial as novas gerações, já compreendem que a igualdade é um direito e os velhos padrões já não são aceitáveis, sendo que as mulheres vêm procurando frequentemente cursos e profissões voltadas a engenharia e tecnologia. De acordo com o RAIS 2018, citado por Camargo et al., no Brasil a porcentagem de participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho subiu, em 2018, 3,91% em relação ao ano anterior, número maior do que o aumento de participação dos homens. O estudo demonstrou que, no tocante ao tema representatividade feminina dentro das empresas, o Brasil, apesar de já apresentar empresas que criaram programas de inclusão, os números ainda são insatisfatórios, expondo dessa forma que o país ainda tem um longo caminho a percorrer para alcançar um equilíbrio representativo de gêneros dentro das empresas.

O presente artigo aborda a visualização e controle de temperatura de uma caixa térmica aplicando a tecnologia de prototipagem Arduíno. Tal abordagem se faz necessária devida ao fato de caixas térmicas serem utilizadas no transporte de vacinas, medicamentos, alimentos e outras aplicações nas quais é necessário o controle da temperatura interna da caixa. As normas esclarecem que as vacinas devem ser conservadas a temperaturas entre 2°C e 8°C, assim sendo, foi ajustado no controlador um alarme sonoro para temperaturas abaixo e acima desta faixa, e utilizado o display para monitoramento em tempo real das variações de temperatura, conseguindo assim um controle baseado nos princípios de Poka Yoke. As temperaturas são controladas pela adição de gelo ou abertura da tampa da caixa para abaixar ou aumentar a temperatura interna. Para transporte de vacinas, o controle de temperatura da caixa térmica possibilitou um acondicionamento adequado para manutenção de suas propriedades. Introduzindo o sensor dentro de um isopor simulando uma geladeira, o projeto foi configurado para que fosse monitorada a temperatura, de modo que não passasse de 8ºC, pois, acima disso, a vida útil das vacinas estaria em risco.
Influence of administrative and financial decentralization on changing the positioning of cities in the economy of the Carpathian region
Authors: Melnyk Maryana , Leshchukh Iryna , Yaremchuk Roman
Published: March 2020

Socio-economic implications of the voluntary association of territorial communities at the administrative and financial decentralization final stage and the expected reformatting of the administrative and territorial structure of Ukrainian regions create favorable conditions for the growth of cities’ economic power and their role in the development of regions and the country as a whole. It is worth noting that without strong regional centers it is difficult to develop strong regions. The main purpose of the article is to determine the features of the impact of administrative and financial decentralization on changing the cities’ positioning in the Carpathian region’s socio-economic system, as well as to outline the perspective directions of their development in the new administrative-territorial and financial system of Ukrainian regions. In particular, the article outlines the main reasons that cause the low activity of cities in the region during the implementation of administrative and financial decentralization in 2015-2017. The potential threats to the spatial development of the Carpathian region cities as a result of administrative-territorial and budgetary system reformatting are highlighted, as well as possible ways for their effective settlement are defined. The features of the cities’ positioning in the economy of regions and districts as administrative and financial decentralization result in 2015-2017 convincingly testify that the Carpathian region centers and cities of regional significance are those “centers of growth” that most actively influence the process of socio-economic development in their areas, including due to the benefits of fiscal decentralization. In the long run, uniting around the cities of regional significance and effective cooperation of regional centers with neighboring united territorial communities can intensify the process of urban development, open up opportunities for balancing the interests of these cities as growth centers and suburban territorial communities interested in improving the quality of their inhabitants’ life.
Methodological approaches to analysis of rural territories’ development in terms of decentralization
Authors: Khomiuk Nataliia , Pavlikha Nataliya
Published: March 2020

The purpose of the article is to reveal methodological approaches to analysis of the development of rural territories in Ukraine. The authors note that the complex analysis and evaluation of the results of rural areas’ development is an integral part of formation and implementation of the strategy of diversification of rural territories’ development in Ukraine. The paper emphasizes that the availability of analytical information on the state of development of rural territories is a prerequisite for making grounded decisions on diversification of rural territories in the regions of Ukraine and improving the quality of life of rural population. The methodical approaches to the analysis of territories’ development have been considered. The paper proves that the definition of the peculiarities of social, economic and ecological development of rural territories makes it possible to elaborate effective practical recommendations for the diversification of the development of a separate rural consolidated community. A methodology for analyzing the development of rural territories in Ukraine has been developed. It covers the consistent implementation of the following stages: the assessment of the development of rural territories in Ukraine, the diagnosis of rural territories in the region, the characteristics of the preconditions for diversification of rural consolidated communities, the modeling and development of strategic directions of diversification of rural territories in conditions of decentralization, monitoring of changes in the development of rural territories and control over the implementation of the goals of diversification of rural territories in terms of decentralization. The application of the proposed methodological approaches to the analysis of the development of rural territories in the context of the implementation of the decentralization reform can serve as the basis for making informed decisions regarding the strategy of diversification of rural territories, increasing the competitiveness of rural consolidated communities. This is possible on the basis of the diagnosis of rural development and the identification of priority areas for economic activity for each of them, which should be the ground for implementation of modern regional policy in the context of decentralization of authorities.
Industrial policy as a driver of economic growth: experience of European Union member states for Ukraine
Authors: Pasinovych Iryna , Sych Olha
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes the experience of reforming of industrial policy of the EU member states on the way to sustainable economic development. Based on the conducted analysis the priority areas of high added value in Ukraine are outlined: transport, aerospace, energy engineering, production of equipment for alternative energy, including new materials and energy storage devices; production of weapons, military and special equipment; information and communication technologies. The development of the diversified and high-tech industries, especially the processing industry, is the key to ensuring the economic growth in Ukraine. The de-industrialization in Ukraine in recent years has been slowing down the movement towards the stable and sustained growth. To estimate trends in the structure of Ukraine’s GDP and their impact on economic growth, the taxonomic indicator of development level has been calculated. The units of the statistical aggregate (data from Germany, Poland and Ukraine) were mapped. The relative position of the state was determined as the distance from the statistical aggregate unit to the selected reference base (reference point). The smaller the value of the taxonomic indicator of development is, the closer the country is to the standard. The indicators of GDP, GDP growth rate and the share of industrial production belong to stimulants; the level of inflation and the share of agriculture in GDP - to disincentives. The corresponding calculations permit to draw the following conclusions: - Poland was the closest to the standard in 2000 (index 0.650), although Ukraine demonstrated at that time the highest growth rates and the biggest share of industry in GDP; - in 2017 the gap was increasing - Ukraine was inferior to both countries (with indicators 0.325 and 0.336), due to lower rates of economic growth and a decrease in the share of industrial production against the backdrop of inflationary phenomena. Ukraine should take into account that no country focused on agricultural development has succeeded in economic development. Progressive foreign experience can highlight the criterion of positive changes - an increase in the proportion of technologically complex productions with high added value in the structure of reproduction.

Published: March 2020

Slow transformations in socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions in the context of public authorities’ decentralization policy show poor efficiency of both state regional policy in general and regional policies of territories’ development in its former forms. This activates discussions and search for more efficient and adequate approaches to management of spatial development in the context of implementation of European integration course, taking into account the experience of European Union. The paper aims to outline the nature of modern role of regions in the context of regional policy and to reveal and explain the trends of practical implementation of new regional policy in the EU with further development of recommendations for authorities to be considered in strategic governance of territorial development in Ukraine. The nature of modern role of regions in the context of regional policy is outlined and conceptual foundations of new EU regional policy are defined. Special attention in paid to the increasing role of local actors and public authorities’ decentralization in the process of regional development governance. The trends of forming and implementation of new regional policy in the EU are revealed and specified, including the compliance with the established European values, interrelation between the goals of the policies of EU regions and cities with stimulation of economic growth and improvement of the quality of life based on strategic investment; structural changes in forming of European budget, innovative imperative of EU regional development and strengthening of external integration of regions. Based on the analysis of European experience, the lessons for authorities responsible for state regional policy of Ukraine are outlined. Targeted recommendations for state authorities are suggested to be taken into account in the process of forming and implementation of regional development strategy in conditions of decentralization of authorities and ongoing European integration processes. Special role is paid to the need to apply “soft” measures of regional policy that contribute to more extended attraction of informal institutes and creation of conditions for involvement of all regional actors into the process of making and accomplishment of management decisions.

Published: March 2020

As God's people, the church needs to realize that diversity is an essential nature of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Efforts to homogenize nations that are diverse in race, ethnicity, culture, and religion must be seen as efforts to divide the nation. Therefore religions in Indonesia, especially the Church of God must really be a motivator and encourage their citizens to be truly aware of the diversity of the nation and take part in fostering a lifeof life that respects diversity and tolerates life with fellow human beings with everything attached to himself, including his religion and culture. In connection with the above, the church leaders and theologians must really try to find an understanding of faith that encourages people to accept differences and be able to build a tolerant life together. Efforts in that direction can be built through the perspectives of all fields of theological studies. This paper contains efforts to build a tolerant shared life from a systematic perspective. Theology of Religions and the Biblical (Old Testament). The dogmaticperspective sees two basic needs, namely to nurture and increasingly take root in the faith of church members, and the need to determine attitudes towards the presence of other religious life together. Without forgetting the universal nature of religion as an expression of religious awareness. From an ethical perspective feel the need to develop global ethics that are universal. From the perspective of the science of religions, it is necessary to highlight the verses of the Scriptures possessed by each religion that is universal. While the Biblical perspective sees the importance of Christians understanding their holy books diachronically and holistically. Because improper ways of understanding the Bible make possible the birth of exclusive fundamentalists. Central themes, such as love, justice, truth, peace, redemption, goodness, and life are believed to be from God, all of which are universal. All biblical texts, if understood, diachronically, then the text messages are the central themes already mentioned.
Evaluation Period and Agency Problem in Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO)
Authors: Shin Jun Ho , Lee Dongyoup
Published: March 2020

This article investigates the effect of the performance evaluation period on the long-term investment portfolio choice and the agency problem of outsourced investments. Though investors with the prospect utility are required to raise the portfolio weight on risky assets such as stocks for a long investment horizon, institutional investors and professional fund managers cannot help lowering the portfolio weight on risky assets to minimize the loss and to avoid disappointing clients with a short evaluation period. We find empirical evidence in the Korean capital market that stocks and bonds are indifferent to investors with the prospect utility for an evaluation period with 16 months and the optimal portfolio weight of stocks and bonds is 30% to 70%. Therefore there exists the agency problem between investors (principal) and managers (agent) due to frequent performance evaluations, which is able to explain current excessive investment in fixed income markets of most national pension funds. Our result implies that we need to consider extending the evaluation period of the investment performance to achieve the goal of asset and liability management (ALM) of national long-term funds in this low-interest-rate environment.

Dosage of gaseous inflammatory markers is a promising method of evaluating various types of pediatric pathologies and not only. The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) can be quantified by electrochemical detection using a portable analyzer that delivers fast, reproducible, and widely available results. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the accessibility of the pediatric dosing method and the utility of FeNO for the diagnosis of atopic pathology in hospitalized children. We conducted a retrospective study that included children aged over 6 years admitted to the Pediatric Department of the Municipal Hospital Filantropia in Craiova who were evaluated according to the type of training performed for the determination of FeNO and according to the diagnosis of admission. Results. Using a human model was more effective in obtaining a valid result compared to the use of the demo provided by the manufacturer, especially at younger age (p = 0.05 and respectively, 0.04 - Student t test). Among the various allergic pathologies studied, children with asthma were the ones who recorded the highest levels of nitric oxide, even when compared to the rest of atopic children (p = 0.01 - t test). Moreover, the proportion of cases with positive values was increased in asthmatic children compared to the rest of the type of allergic pathology, but these values were at the limit of statistical significance (p = 0.08 - chi square and Mid-P exact test). The conclusion of our study was that it is possible to improve compliance with FeNO assessment especially at younger age, and the utility of the method is still limited, especially in asthma cases.

Recent evidence shows that many vascular risk factors (VRFs) contribute to the cognitive decline. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cognitive decline, depression and the occurrence of subclinical atherosclerosis and the association between cognitive decline and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and VRFs versus patients without AF but with VRFs. After statistical analysis, we concluded that cognitive decline is more common in patients with AF and VRFs than in those without AF, but with VRFs, and we consider it is mandatory to identify and prevent cognitive changes. Our findings suggest a direct association between cognitive decline and AF, age, risk factors, cognitive parameters, hemodynamic changes (LVEF) and subclinical atherosclerosis (IMT).

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a life-threatening condition, with several risk factors and predictors. Some of them are easy to evaluate and had a great sensitivity to indicate the risk of OSAS occurrence.The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between specific body composition items obtained with and OSAS compared with body mass index (BMI). We performed a cross-sectional study including 76 patients, 51 with OSAS and 25 without OSAS used as control group. Anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis and polysomnography were performed in all included patients. All patients were overweight. Statistically significant differences were identified between groups for visceral fat accumulation (VFA) (201.10 cm2 vs bioelectrical impedance technique 155.10 cm2, p[0.0001) and body fat mass (BFM) (44.44 vs 33.50, p[0.0001). Also, waist-to-hip ratio was statistically significant greater in OAS group (p=0.0011).It was a strong statistical significant correlation between apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) vs VFA(r=0.533, p[0.05). VFA indicates the occurrence of OSAS with high sensibility(76.5%), but medium specificity (88%).Bioelectrical impedance analysis offers the possibility to calculate important body composition items, highly correlated with OSAS, in an economic, easy and non-invasive way. It can also be used in sleep apnea syndrome prescreening.
