Karaganov V. S. Leontief – is there a misunderstanding of Leontief’s model?
Authors: Kalinkova Sabrina
Published: June 2020

Relevance of research topic: Cross-sectoral balance is a tool with unique qualities for analyzing and designing economic development. The evolution of economic systems also affects the very balance and attitude of researchers to it. Formulation of the problem: For this reason, the opinion of one of the famous economists – Prof. Karaganov regarding the basic assumptions of Leontief's model is of interest. These are the baseline indicators examined with the model whose nature is not subject to change. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the inconsistency of criticism of Leontief's cross-sectoral balance model by Professor Sergei Karaganov. Method or methodology for conducting research. Scientific literature analysis method and the method of comparison were used. Presentation of the main material (results of work). At the very beginning of the article by Prof. Karaganov an incorrect presentation of the structure of the model of Leontief is made. The balance of inter-branch connections simultaneously reflects each of the branches in a dual role – a producer of production and a supplier of own manufactured products for other industries to meet their production needs. Prof. Karaganov demonstrates a clear lack of knowledge of the balance of cross-sectoral links (input-output model) by misrepresenting each of the branches of a national economic system. According to him, the branches of the national economy are divided into producing and consuming industries. It is beyond the view of Prof. Karaganov that in the balance of inter-sectoral links, the industries are not divided into producing and consuming products. At each point in time, each industry is represented both in its role as a producer of production and in its role as a recipient of production from other industries in connection with the production of its own production. Conclusions according to the article. At present, Leontiev's model is used solely from its analytical capabilities. And the main reason for this is the presence of many methodological and informational problems. But it is particularly important to make it clear that these problems, existing outside and independently of the model, do not make the model itself wrong or inadequate to use. The circumstances presented by Prof. Sergey Karaganov are just some of the examples of misunderstanding the capabilities of the model, leading it to impute problems that do not actually exist.
Over 10 years of Bulgarian membership in EU: evaluation of bulgarian experience and conclusions about Ukraine
Authors: Katrandjiev Hristo , Kaniskov Vasil
Published: June 2020

Relevance of research topic. More than 10 years after Bulgaria's accession to the EU, there has been considerable “euroscepticism” among Bulgarian citizens. The study of attitudes towards Bulgarian membership in EU as well as the reasons determining these attitudes could be useful not only for Bulgaria but also for countries that are going to join the EU, including Ukraine. Setting the task, the purpose of the study: to clarify the public attitudes (in Bulgaria) towards the Bulgarian membership in European Union and to outline useful guidelines and conclusions that could help Ukrainian representatives in the process of negotiating (for joining EU). Method or methodology for conducting research. Stratified quota sample based on major socio-demographic attributes, face-to-face standardized interview in respondents’ homes. Results of work. The report analyzes the advantages as well as the challenges that Bulgarian people face more than 10 years later after joining European Union (EU). The analysis is based on the attitudes of Bulgarian citizens. Data is gathered by representative samples on the territory of Bulgaria. The authors try to make a logical parallel between Bulgaria and Ukraine and to formulate conclusions and practical guidelines that could help Ukraine to take better decisions in the process of negotiations for joining EU. Conclusions according to the article. Obviously, ten years is not enough time for the Bulgaria's full integration into the EU. However, there is a very high degree of unanimity that EU-future is the most optimistic scenario for Bulgaria. The following lines outline some important reasons for possible "euroscepticism" concerning Ukraine's future EU membership: nationalist movements and parties, fundamental differences of cultural values, the different nature of academic and educational systems, the unwillingness or inability to break the language barrier, non-adaptability of Ukraine's production technologies with those of developed European countries, the striking discrepancy between types of agricultural produce, different types/technology of agricultural production, predatory use of the country's raw material base, ecological degradation, double standards of products.
Some aspects of economic interaction between developing and developed countries within the framework of the EU on the example of Bulgaria
Authors: Khitov Мitko
Published: June 2020

This article discusses the issues of economic interaction between countries with different levels of division of labor, for example Bulgaria, and objective opportunities for each of them to find their place in the economic systems of such supranational entities as the European Union. Historical parallels are drawn in the development of theories at different stages of the movement of economic thought in relation to systems of division of labor, starting from the physiocrats of the Middle Ages, through Adam Smith to the modern vision of the situation. The experience of Bulgaria in building its own national economy in the period after the Liberation from Ottoman rule to the present day is analyzed. A comparative analysis of the achievements of our state, as a member of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, against the development of neighboring countries, which, however, fell into an alternative system of division of labor. The processes that took place as part of the confrontation of two antagonistic technological zones during the Cold War are described, including some aspects of the dynamics of relations within the world socialist community, which at different periods had a different structure, own achievements and failures, missed opportunities and, ultimately - a capitulation from an order of magnitude larger economic system under the auspices of the United States of America. The author seeks Bulgaria’s place in the current EU integration processes, from the point of view of the objective regional differentiation of this peripheral Balkan state. Conclusions are drawn on the results of the interaction of countries with different levels of division of labor - developing states from Eastern Europe, and developed ones - the founding states of the Union, which form the core of this supranational association. The relevant recommendations are made on the implementation of strategic policies in the economy, education and social sphere for countries that aspire to enter the European Union or are already members as developing economies.
Gender budgeting in the context of social protection in Ukraine
Authors: Barannyk Liliia , Dulik Tatyana , Alexandriuk Tatyana
Published: June 2020

The article considers gender budgeting as a way to solve important social problems, in particular those related to meeting the needs of women. Given the need a significantly improve the demographic situation in the country the problem of social support for women of childbearing age becomes especially urgent. The general characteristic of gender budgeting is presented. This will help to find out further directions for reforming budget (as well as social) legislation. The dynamics of fertility in Ukraine in 1990-2018 is shown. The purpose of the article is to identify those gender issues that should be taken into account by the government and local authorities during budgeting, in particular those related to the social protection of women. The study used general scientific and special methods: analysis and synthesis, the method of comparison, generalization, statistical and others. The methodological basis of the study is a comprehensive approach, system-structural analysis and the dialectical method of scientific knowledge. The scientific approaches to the definition of the concept of "gender budgeting" are generalized. The necessity of increasing the maternity allowance has been proved, in particular for women who are not insured in the system of compulsory state social insurance, as well as the expediency of reorienting the calculation of the benefit amount from 25% of the living wage for an able-bodied person to its full size. Conclusions: In Ukraine, while making budgetary analysis and planning of expenditures aimed at ensuring gender equality, it is necessary that in state and local authorities budgets precisely those expenditures should be take into account, which are important not only for women but for men, the state and all the society as well. This requires: strengthening political support for gender initiatives; coordinating the efforts of various agencies as to the transition to the gender-oriented budgeting (GOB) on an ongoing basis; involving questions related to social policy issues, including gender inequality, into training programs for economics, finance, and public administration; gender analysis not only of expenditures but also of budget revenues; cooperation of state bodies engaged in budgeting with public organizations, communities, feminist centers.

Published: June 2020

Topicality. In the economic mechanism of regulation of the labor market in the agrarian sphere is of great importance for forecasting and balancing supply and demand for labor, depending on the volume of agricultural production and the corresponding formation of real investment in job creation in the branch. Therefore, the direction of research of investment processes and employment of the population in the agricultural sphere is relevant. Formulation of the problem. Investment processes in agriculture of Ukraine should provide reproductive processes in the branch, improve the structure of means of production and attract workers to enterprises. At present, there is a rapid reduction in labor force in the agrarian sphere, but there are not enough alternative jobs in the countryside, which increases migration flows in the country. The current urgent task of the state is to create conditions for investing in the creation of jobs in the agrarian sphere to ensure rational employment of the population and food security of the country, etc. The subject of research covers the social and labor aspects of investing in agricultural production. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the directions, terms, volumes and sources of investment in creating jobs in the agricultural sector. Methods of conducting research: abstract-logical, systematic approach, balance, monographic, statistical-economic, economic-mathematical, calculation-constructive methods. Results of the work: quantitative indicators of increase of formal employment of the population in the agrarian and other sectors of the economy and corresponding prognostic scenarios due to activation of investment and reproduction processes in the industry are substantiated; directions, volumes, terms, sources of investment in production of products in agricultural enterprises and improvement of the mechanism of their state support are determined. Practical implementation: formation of investment policy at state, branch and enterprise levels of economy, process of development of state and local programs of promotion of employment of population, agrarian and rural development. Conclusions: activation of investment in labor-intensive production of agricultural products while attracting public and private capital investments in the industry will ensure rational employment of the population in the agrarian sphere, will promote the development of agrarian social and labor relations.

Authors: Tropina Valentyna
Published: June 2020

The adoption of the new Agenda for Sustainable Development and its implementation, as well as the crisis state of almost all spheres of public life in Ukraine require deepening scientific research on issues related to the formation and effective implementation of financial policies aimed at creating favorable conditions for the sustainable development of the country. Given the large number and scale of the goals and objectives of sustainable development, the solution of which requires enormous amounts of financial resources, it is important to identify priority areas of the financial policy of sustainable development of the country as key tasks to achieve of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The problems of the financial policy of sustainable development are at the center of research by leading scientists from both foreign and domestic scientific schools. But the novelty of the problems associated with the practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development requires further research in order to justify the theoretical foundations of the formation and determination of the directions for the effective implementation of the financial policy of the transition to the principles of sustainable development. The objective of the study is to disclose the nature and specifics of the financial policy of sustainable development. The aim of the work is to substantiate the priority areas of financial policy of Ukraine in the context of the goals and objectives of the 2030 Agenda. In the research process, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the method of comparison, generalization, statistical, etc. The article identifies priority areas of financial policy of Ukraine in the context of goals and objectives defined by the Agenda for Sustainable Development for the period up to 2030. The specific features of the financial policy of sustainable development, the features of its development and implementation are investigated. Attention is focused on the problem of socio-economic inequality in the country and directions for overcoming it are proposed, which is one of the necessary conditions for the development of Ukraine on the principles of sustainable development. The results of this study can be applied in the process of formation and implementation of the financial policy of sustainable development of the country. The concept of sustainable development necessitates the coordination of the strategic goals of the financial development of the national socio-economic system. It is important to identify the features and factors that influence the formation and implementation of financial policies in the context of the goals and objectives of sustainable development and determine its priority areas.

Published: June 2020

Relevance of research topic. Innovations penetration is increasing very fast because of technologies development, society attitude and economic benefit. It transforms traditional businesses to new models and forms. One of the recent trends is sharing economy. It grows very fast and is being introduced in more sectors. One of the biggest growths is in tourism sector. There are some challenges both for the society and science. Research problem: the discussions about the sharing economy, its benefits and threats, implications for the traditional economy are increasing in the literature [7; 17; 18; 20; 34]. However, the scope of sharing economy in each sector of the economy may be approached differently and different aspects may be emphasized. More and more researchers [2; 8] are also attempting to analyze the impact of sharing on the economy, but there is still a lack of common definitions, clear links between innovations and sharing economy in tourism business. Research aim: to identify the concept of sharing economy, it’s features as well as causes and outcomes in the context of tourism business. Method or methodology for conducting research. Scientific literature analysis method is used to achieve this aim. Results of work. Literature analysis revealed that sharing economy is based on C2C based business model where innovations enable the sharing underutilized assets. Sharing economy is accelerated by technological development and lower cost. New trends also impact and transform tourism sector. There are some advantages and disadvantages for the sector.

The subjeсt of the researсh is the innovative susceptibility of the enterprise. The goal of the researсh is to identify the most significant factors affecting the level of innovative susceptibility of the enterprise. The researсh methods used are observation, data сolleсtion, analysis, and synthesis, сomparison, grouping, systematiс and сomplex approaсh. The researсh results. In the framework of this study, the authors analyzed the innovative activity of the enterprise as a detailed expression of its innovative susceptibility, which by its results is logically connected with the full range of end results of the enterprise functioning as a production system and is subordinated to the need to achieve a given level of such results. The domain of appliсability of the researсh results is the innovative policy of the enterprise, focused on improving its market position. Сonсlusions. The formation and implementation of the innovative susceptibility of the enterprise is a complex process, the course of which is determined by the complex effect of various factors that have both internal and external sources in relation to the enterprise. At its core, the transition of innovative susceptibility of an enterprise from its unrealized (factorial) form to a form of direct innovation activity is a natural process of transforming the formed innovative capabilities of an enterprise into concrete innovations. This process becomes real when it has the necessary resource base, sufficient internal and external conditions are created, and also when the personnel of the enterprise are genuinely motivated to take innovative actions.

Kriz Zamanlarında Sosyal Mesafe
Authors: CANATAN Kadir
Published: June 2020

Bu makale, doğal ve sosyal felaketlerin ya da başka bir deyişle krizlerin sosyal mesafe üzerindeki etkileri konusunda sosyolojik bir tartışma yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Tartışmanın çıkış noktasını, kriz dönemlerinde normal hayat seyrinin ve bunu düzenleyen normların geçersiz ve kullanışsız olduğu fikri oluşturmaktadır. Kriz, günlük ezber ve rutinlerin bozulmasını beraberinde getirir. Normal zamanlarda geçerli olan sosyal mesafe ölçüleri kriz dönemlerinde anlamlı olmaktan çıkar ve hatta sakıncalı bir hale gelir. Bu nedenle insanlık sadece normal dönemlerde geçerli olan normları değil, kriz dönemlerinde de geçerli olabilecek normları üretmiş ve gerektiğinde bunları uygulamıştır. Krizin etkileri, niteliğine bağlı olarak değiştiği gibi, kısa ve uzun süreli olmasına bağlı olarak da farklılaşmaktadır.

Published: June 2020

Стаття присвячена питанням медіа Католицької Церкви та адаптації новітніх засобів комунікації для потреби церковної місії. На основі проведеного аналізу показано принципи ставлення Римо-Католицької Церкви (далі — РКЦ) до глобального інформаційного простору як ефективного інструменту євангелізації та стратегічного майданчику для реалізації місіонерських завдань.Автор статті зауважує, що процес інформатизації торкається кожної сфери соціальної активності. РКЦ в сучасну інформаційну епоху активно використовує можливості традиційних і нових медіа.Аналізується освоєння медійного простору від часів понтифікату папи Павла VI і дотепер. У дослідженні особлива увага приділяється різним медіа, через які відбувається комунікація Католицької Церкви з вірянами, а саме: «Радіо Ватикану», спеціа­лізовані відеоканали такі як «Trinity Broadcasting Network» і «GOD TV» та створений у 1983 році Ватиканський Телевізійний Центр, який в 1996 році отримав статус офіційної організації, афілійованої зі Святим Престолом. Зазначається, що образ папи в медійному просторі офіційно представляють «Радіо Ватикан», «Vatican Television Center» і «Telepace». Окрема увага приділяється розробці власного сайту Ватикана — www.vatican.va та процесу комунікації, що ним забезпечується. Зазначається, що результатом політики реорганізації діяльності ЗМІ стало створення єдиної всесвітньої католицької інформаційної мережі Aleteia.У контексті заявленої проблематики зроблено висновок про роль засобів масової комунікації, включно з радіо, телебаченням, інтернетом і соціальними мережами, як невід’ємною частиною повсякденної побутової культури і щоденних звичок сотень мільйонів людей, з огляду на що з боку церковної ієрархії стала очевидною неможливість їх ігнорування як актуального явища інформаційного порядку.
HOME THOUGHTS, FROM ABROAD: THE FANTASY OF “BLIGHTY,” THE REALITY OF HOME
Authors: Hollington Michael
Published: June 2020

This paper examines the frequent use of the word ‘blighty’ in First World War poetry and prose to signify from the frontline trenches the longedfor world of home. A word of Anglo-Indian origin, the product of folk etymology, as unlettered soldiers convert ‘bilayati’ meaning ‘foreign’ into something that sounds more familiar in English, it retains its association with the speech of the common soldier in First World War poetry. It modulates in meaning, as the war gets increasingly desperate, and starts in poetry and elsewhere to refer to a relatively minor wound that will get you back home and out of the war. I examine this shift in a number of poets, notably Owen, Sassoon, and Gurney. I also examine the experience of ‘blighty’ from the other end of the telescope, so to speak. That is to say, from the perspective of women writers receiving their men at home and bidding them farewell for the last time. I illustrate such writing in the distinguished novel World Without End by Helen Thomas, the widow of the war poet Edward Thomas.

Published: June 2020

Background: Despite the availability of cultivated food crops and processed food, a large part of the Moroccan population, more particularly the populations of rural areas, still depend on the traditional use of wild plants, which constitute an important component of their food system. However, there is a lack of information on these plants and their medicinal and pharmacological properties, this is why our study aims to detect the antimicrobial activity of certain wild edible plants.Methods: disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of extracts of Mercurialis annua L, Papaver rhoeas L, Foeniculum vulgare Mill, Chenopodium mural L, and Scolymus hispanicus L against the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonassp, and against the yeasts Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida albicansResults: The results showed that the crudeextracts from all the plants studied showed more or less important antimicrobial activities on one or other of the pathogenic microorganisms tested, except for the extract of M. annua, which showed no activity against all microbial strains. The highest antibacterial activity was observed for Scolymus hispanicus L extract against Escherichia coli (diameter of the inhibition zone: Ø=9mm ), the highest antifungal activity was marked for Foeniculum vulgare Mill extract against Candida albicans (Ø=8mm), and the extract of Scolymus hispanicus L against Cryptococcus neoformans(Ø=8mm).Conclusion: These results reveal that, in addition to the role they play in the diet, the food plants studied have an additional biological value due to their bioactive compounds.Keywords: In vitroantibacterial activity; Antifungal activity; Food wild plants; crude extract, Morocco

Sufficient condition for reliability measurement of sample geometry by atomic force microscopy
Authors: Kravchuk Alexander S. , Kravchuk Anzhelika I.
Published: June 2020

A sufficient condition for determining the reliability of geometry measurements using atomic force microscopy for relatively small cantilever tilt angles is proposed. A relationship between the basic geometric parameters of surface roughness, geometric deviations of the probe, the angles of the cantilever and the inclination of the side faces of the probe, as well as the dimensions of the nonlocal point of the probable contact of its side faces with protrusions of roughness has been established. As a sufficient condition for the reliability of geometry measurements using atomic force microscopy, an obvious requirement is accepted. It determines the smallness of the ratio of the sizes of a nonlocal point to the distance between neighboring nonlocal points. Publications in which the measurement of surface nano-geometry of the samples does not indicate the roughness of the sample surface and the probe, the angles at the tip of the probe and the tilt of the cantilever, as well as the best resolution (smallest step) at which the study is carried out, cannot be accepted as reliable, because the results obtained in them are probabilistic in nature. The surface images obtained using atomic force microscopy without proper justification for the resolution (value of the measurement step) represent only a qualitative picture, on the basis of which it makes no sense to carry out any computational manipulations. In order to increase the reliability of measurements of surface geometry using atomic force microscopy, it is necessary to radically increase the accuracy of the manufacture of probes, as well as use probes with the smallest possible angle at the apex. In addition, it is necessary to make changes in the design of the atomic force microscopy. In particular, the automatic rotation of the microscope stage should be designed. It should provide closeness the probe axis direction to the normal to the average plane of the sample. This “integral” angle of rotation of the microscope stage is easily iteratively determined at the stage of preliminary investigation of the geometry of the surface of the sample. In this case, it will be necessary to geometrically increase the length of the cantilever so that the base extends beyond the limits of the sample.
Structured methods for improving flow measurement accuracy in pipelines
Authors: Akhobadze Gurami N.
Published: June 2020

In the age of digital transformation of production processes in industry and science the development and design of intelligent flow sensors for granular and liquid substances transferring through pipelines becomes more important. With this in view new approaches for improving the accuracy of microwave flowmeters are proposed. Taking into account the characteristics ofelectromagnetic waves propagating through a pipeline, a wave scattered by inhomogeneities of the controlled medium is analyzed. Features of the transformation of the polarized scattered wave limiting the geometric dimensions of the pipeline and optimizing the values of the useful scattered signal are revealed. Expediency of collection of the information signal with orthogonal polarization of the scattered wave and through a directional coupler is substantiated. The method of estimating the measurement accuracy with reference to the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the processing device is given. The research results can be used in cryogenic machine engineering to measure volume and mass flows of liquid cryogenic products.

Published: June 2020

The problems of the condition control of flowing liquid during its use in different industries, energy and agriculture are reviewed. The devices of the flowing liquid condition control whose operating principle is based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance are presented. This devices do not have the disadvantages and limitations of use inherent in optical analyzers and flowing refractometers. At using controls based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance the controlled parameters are the relaxation times of the flowing fluid, in particular, the greatest difficulties arise when measuring the longitudinal relaxation time. The method for control of longitudinal relaxation time T1 of flowing liquid in the entire range of measuring its expenditure is proposed. To implement a new method the design of nuclear magnetic flowmeter-relaxometer is developed. The obtained data are compared with the measurement results of values T1 for liquid media being in a stationary state are recived on industrial nuclear magnetic relaxometer and is determined them coincidence within the measurement error.

Published: June 2020

It’s suggested to develop the additional NPP measuring channels verification regulations in order to reduce verification labour-intensiveness and increase economic NPP operation efficiency. This regulations should afford an opportunity for componentwise verification and for basic and alternative complete verification of the NPP measuring channels depending on the verification reliability requirements. The uniformly precise, cross and combined methods are identified as alternative methods of complete verification. This article proposes the main regulations development problems and presents requirements for the basic regulations provisions. It’s emphasized that the developed regulations of the provisions on the application complete verification of the NPP measuring channels should allow: to control the channel error as a single measuring device without demounting its components; to reduce the verification time allocated during power generating unit hold; to preserve the acceptable level of the measurement channel verification results reliability. An example of the complete verification reliability estimation procedure is given as one of the most important criteria for selecting the verification method.

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is an effective indicator for restoration of more natural patterns of water levels and flows through the Everglades. The Florida Everglades is a highly modified system, so monitoring health of alligators can inform how different areas of this large ecosystem are doing. Based on an increase in reports of very skinny alligators, biologists and natural resource managers are seeking help from the public to better understand where and when this problem occurs. This brochure serves as a guide for citizen scientists on how to score alligator body condition and report sightings of very skinny or unhealthy alligators.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw461
Weed Management in Corn
Authors: Ferrell Jason A. , MacDonald Gregory E. , Devkota Pratap
Published: June 2020

Successful weed control is essential for economical corn production in Florida. Weeds reduce corn yields by competing for moisture, nutrients, and light during the growing season and interfere with harvest. Producing a good corn crop is only half the battle and will not be profitable unless the corn can be harvested. Late-season weeds can result in excessive yield loss, inefficient equipment operation, and provide a source of weed seed for the following season. Weeds can be controlled in corn; however, this involves good management practices in all phases of corn production.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/wg007

Published: June 2020

The article discusses the unjustly forgotten work of transportation engineer A.A. Abrahamson, the designer of the Kyiv funicular, which was built in 1905. To design separate units of the elevating mechanism A.A. Abrahamson invited as collaborators such then well known specialists as mining engineer A.E. Straus, engineer-colonel V.V. Pusheshnikov, and transportation engineers M.K. Piatnytsky and O.O. Baryshnykov. However, when a memorial plaque was unveiled on the upper station of the funicular in 2012, it listed as designers only M.K. Piatnytsky and O.O. Baryshnykov. In proving the authorship of A.A. Abrahamson, the authors used the materials from the private archival collection of M.V. Kushchenko, which is being introduced for the first time as a research source.

Ukrainian (All-Ukrainian) Academy of Sciences in terms of state and political transformations in 1918 – 1923
Authors: Gorban T.
Published: June 2020

On a basis of analysis of documentary sources it is traced the status of the Ukrainian Academy of Science – All-Ukrainian Academy of Science under different political regimes that were in power within the given period. Frist of all, it is about the limits of self-governance of the Academy, about support, or vice versa, the restrictions of traditional academic freedoms by the government. Here it is noted that the state administration of science, scientific activities, and therefore of the Academy of Sciences is not identical with the concept of "governmentalisation" in negative terms. Research shows that the state government, whatever there is its social and political orientation, does not leave science out of its interests. And vice versa, scientists as subjects of scientific work did not imagene their activities out of the interests of the state, society with its requests. General conclusion is next: despite difficulties of objective and subjective character, founders of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences laid in basis of its concept the principles that have still remained viable.
Simulation and Evaluation of a Hybrid Renewable Energy System for Supplying a Desalination Unit on the Island of Lipsi, Greece
Authors: Bardis Giannis , Feloni Elissavet , Baltas Evangelos
Published: June 2020

Water scarcity is a serious problem for the Aegean Islands in Greece. Due to the fact that tourist development grows in a continuous way, the situation has deteriorated over the last years. Current water resources management practices involving the exploitation of the groundwater reservoirs have provoked the salty water intrusion into the aquifers and in many arid islands water is transported by sea, at a considerably high cost (reaches about 12 €/m³ in some cases). Desalination is foreseen as a solution to this problem and it has already been adopted in many islands, as it is a process that can provide fresh and potable water in the required quantities, at a much lower cost. The coupling of desalination with renewable energy sources (RES) constitutes an appealing and promising option. This paper presents an integrated case study regarding the design and operation of a water-energy system for meeting irrigation and potable water demand in Lipsi Island (Dodecanese complex, Greece). As the desalination unit operation depends on the wind power, a detailed description regarding the generation of synthetic time series of wind speed data is also presented. Finally, a Cost-Benefit Analysis is carried out to discuss each scenario we examine from a financial perspective.

Introduction:

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in the ENT-HNS were the highest of all malignant tumors of the head and neck. Malnutrition and cachexia is a common problem in cancer patients and impact on quality of life and survival. Anemia is a major problem in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Objective:

Determine the relationship of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stage with anemia and nutritional status.

Material and methods:

This study used cross sectional analytic method. Data were obtained from medical records of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were treated in province hospital West Nusa Tenggara period January 2018 to December 2018. Data collected include the identity, diagnosis, hemoglobin value, weight and height.
