Dalam masa pandemi COVID-19 individu yang paling berisiko terinfeksi adalah orang yang memiliki kontak erat dengan pasien COVID-19 seperti tenaga medis rumah sakit. Sarana dan prasarana pelayanan medis sangat terbatas yang tidak sejalan dengan jumlah pasien terus membludak. Dalam hal ini perlu diberikan perhatian penuh pada keamanan dan kenyamanan tenaga medis yang terus-menerus berinteraksi langsung dengan pasien. Oleh karena itu tenaga medis membutuhkan yang namanya Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) salah satunya adalah pelindung wajah (face shield). Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah untuk memperkenalkan dan memberikan bantuan berupa face shield kepada Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Langsa yang digunakan oleh tenaga medis rumah sakit. Tahapan pelaksanaan pengabdian ini terdiri dari tahap persiapan, tahap desain face shield, tahap pelaksanaan, tahap monitoring dan evaluasi, dan tahap pelaporan. Hasilnya adalah diperoleh suatu produk face shield yang memiliki ukuran sesuai dengan kepala manusia dan penutup wajahnya dapat diganti sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Dalam pelaksanaan pegabdian, pihak rumah sakit sangat mengapresiasikan tim pengabdian dari Prodi Teknik Mesin Universitas Samudra (Unsam) yang mau membantu mendistribusikan face shield sebanyak 100 buah kepada tenaga medis RSUD Langsa. Tenaga Medis RSUD Langsa juga mengatakan face shield hasil rancangannya cukup nyaman saat dipakai. Oleh karena itu program pengabdian yang dilaksanakan Prodi Teknik Mesin Unsam tepat sasaran dan sesuai dengan harapan.

Limbah cair tahu (whey) di Home Industry Tahu milik Bapak Sulaiman selama ini tidak dimanfaatkan dan hanya dibuang sebagai limbah di lokasi industri. Akumulasi limbah yang tergenang di sekitar lokasi industri mengakibatkan aroma busuk dan lingkungan kotor karena jauh dari aliran sungai. Whey merupakan cairan residu koagulasi protein kedelai dalam pembuatan tahu yang memiliki potensi sebagai bahan baku pembuatan nata sehingga disebut nata de soya. Pemilik home industry (mitra) tidak mengetahui cara membuat nata de soya sehingga kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) difokuskan pada pelatihan pembuatannata de soya yang bertujuan mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan akibat limbah cair tahu. Hasil dari kegiatan ini memberikan efek positif bagi mitra yaitu mampu memproduksi nata de soya yang sudah dipasarkan. Nata de soyakini menjadi produk baru di home industry Bapak Sulaiman selain tahu dan tempe.

Rebound hammer tests are generally preferred as a non-destructive testing method as compared to destructive testing methods such as compression tests. In this study, a general series of rebound hammer tests and destructive tests were carried on in a heavy concrete laboratory. A set of concrete cubes measuring 100 x 100 x 100 mm were cast and subjected to water curing for 7, 14 and 28 days to obtain the cube strength and rebound number. Three grades of concrete, namely M20, M25 and M30 were used in this experiment. At 28 days, the minimum target strength should be 30 MPa. The rebound hammer tests were conducted before the compression tests. The data obtained for each test was evaluated and tabulated in the findings of this study. It was found that the variation between predicted strength and experimental strength for the rebound hammer test was 0.18%. This indicates that the rebound hammer test is able to predict strength with acceptable accuracy.

Published: January 2021

Neo Malioboro and Malioboro Suite Hotels are two adjacent multi-story buildings in Yogyakarta with a fairly close distance of 2.5m (Lx) between their structures. Considering that Yogyakarta is an area prone to earthquakes, the relatively close distance between the two hotels has triggered research interest. The research was carried out by taking hotel planning data in the form of structural and architectural drawings modeled in SAP2000.14 to obtain structural behavior toward existing designs such as natural shear periods, base shear, mass participation, and to obtain deviation values between floors (drift ratio) and the center of mass deflection (δ). The largest deviation value of the two hotels in the joint reviewed occurred on the top floor, with the maximum deviation value of 0.440m (δM1) for Neo Malioboro and 0.412m (δM2) for Malioboro Suite. The minimum deflection distance between the two hotels was 0.602m (δMT), resulting in the minimum separation distance for the two hotels of 1.454m. The results revealed that the distance of the two hotels was in a safe condition because it was greater than the required minimum separation distance of 2.5m > 1.454m.

Abstract: Vibration has been a serious problem to be discussed over the past years. Vibration has caused cosmetic damages to buildings and annoyance to the occupants of the building. Sources of vibration are usually produced by construction work, traffic, seismic effect and human activities. In this paper, the amplitude of vibration caused by demolition has been analyzed and the level of vibration and level of damage caused have been determined. Besides, the effect of the vibration strength due to distance from the source has also been studied. The vibration data due to demolition work was obtained and analyzed by using MATLAB software. The analyzed data in graphical form were compared with the Gordon vibration criteria to obtain the vibration limit and the level of vibration damage according to DOE (Malaysia) standard as well. The results indicated that the vibration at 1m distance and 10m distance from the vibration source will cause minor damage to the building whereas the vibration at 25m distance from the source is at the caution level. By comparing the Gordon vibration criteria curve, the vibration from 1m, 10m and 25m distance from the demolition vibration source are not suitable for sensitive equipment. This study also proved that the vibration strength will decrease as the distance from the source increases due to the loss of vibration energy during the propagation of vibration waves. Hence, the further the distance from the source, the weaker the strength of the vibration and lower level of damage on surrounding buildings.

This paper investigates the stress strain behaviour of concrete containing Palm Oil Fuel Ash and Expanded Polystyrene, axial compressive strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. EPS-POFA concrete was prepared by substituting fine aggregates with EPS beads and cement replaced with POFA by 10%, 20% and 30%. Results of this study showed that EPS-POFA concrete exhibited low axial compressive strength, peak strain, tensile strength and elastic modulus when the EPS and POFA contents in concrete increased. However, the decrease in axial compressive strength of concretes with containing 10 to 20% EPS and POFA are suitable amount and acceptable to be applied on building structure as per stated in America Concrete Institute 318 with minimum specified compressive strength for structural concrete is 2500 psi (17 MPa). While, the failure of EPS-POFA concrete under axial compression gradually occurred and the concretes were able to retain the load after failure without full collapse. The slope of stress-strain curve of concretes with containing EPS and POFA was lower than that of normal concrete, demonstrating that the normal concrete more brittleness that EPS-POFA concretes.

Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a preferable material for repairing concrete structure due to excellent material properties and effective installation cost over the long-term maintenance of structures. The successful application of FRP strengthening system very much depends on the bond between the concrete substrate and the FRP material using epoxy adhesive. Epoxy acts as a bridge to transfer stress from the concrete to the FRP material. The use of wet lay-up technique to apply FRP onto concrete structure requires epoxy to undergo a curing process normally referred to as cold curing. This paper intends to give a review of the problems with cold-cured epoxy and its effect on structural performance. Cured epoxy is characterised as brittle; therefore, modifications of epoxy are required to toughen the epoxy to suit the purpose of repairing a concrete structure. The methodological approaches from previous studies on modified epoxy were collected and reviewed in this paper. This review also offers some important insights regarding the use of sustainable materials, as well as recommendations for new epoxy in the future.

Method: cross-sectional study conducted with 11 nurses in an ICU of a hospital in Fortaleza - Ceará, using a pressure injury prevention questionnaire adapted for pediatrics, in October and November 2018. Descriptive statistics and the Positivity Index (PIx) of the quality of care were used. Results: there was a poor assistance, according to the PIx, in the three domains: preventive measures and early detection of LP (PIx: 66.6% + 24.5); pressure relief measures (PIx: 41.9% + 21.6) and assessment and notification (PIx: 65.1% + 14.5), with a general average PIx equal to 57.8% (Standard Deviation: +13 , 8), and preventive actions carried out inappropriately. Conclusion: it was possible to identify scarce good practices, which implies poor and insecure assistance. It is urgent to plan and implement improvement strategies with a view to patient safety and quality of care.

VECHE OF THE POMERANIAN SLAVS IN THE ELEVENTH–TWELFTH CENTURIES (to the historiography of the problem)
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, RIZUN Nazar
Published: January 2021

Background: The research on early medieval Pomerania (eleventh–twelfth centuries) and its assemblies discusses a variety of interpretations. Scholars explain veche and its place in the governance of the region based on their understanding of Slavic societies. Historians trace the development of Pomerania during the Early Middle Ages, analyze gradual transformation of its institutions. Recent studies use such concepts as segmentary structures and chiefdom as well as the newest archaeological material. Purpose: The goal of the article is to study the research on veche, particularly the most recent publications. Among them, the works of such historians and archaeologists as Piotr Boroс, Karol Modzelewski, Roman Zaroff, Michaі Tymowski, Michaі Kara, Przemysіaw Urbaсczyk, and others. The paper investigates their understanding of the place of assemblies in the governance of early medieval Pomerania as well as the appliance of such concepts as segmentary structures and chiefdom. Results: Pomeranian veche could be understood both as an element of the early medieval societies and as a way of collective decision-making. The article highlights various approaches to the study of veche, specifically the appliance of such concepts as segmentary structures and chiefdom. The paper investigates their usefulness for the research on early medieval Pomerania and its assemblies. The concepts of segmentary structures and chiefdom describe local communities and regional political formations, respectively. They help to distinguish a few levels of governance, to analyze relations between various parts of early medieval societies, and to trace integration as well as state formation processes. The future studies could continue the discussion about the appliance of different methodological approaches in research on well-known and fragmentary source material. Key words: veche, Pomerania, historiography, segmentary structures, chiefdom.
The rise of research on development economics in Vietnam: Analyses and implications for the public and policymakers from SSHPA 2008-2020 dataset
Authors: AISDL
Published: January 2021

Over three decades of economic reform since 1986, Vietnam has gone from one of the poorest in the world to a lower-middle-income country. To bring the economy to the next level, science and technology development has been viewed as one of the major instruments with various new policies being introduced since 2008. Consequently, scientific publications have become an important intellectual resource. The field of development economic research also benefits from the focus on science and technology. Yet, little is known about the overall research landscape of the field. This thesis, hence, aims to fill this knowledge gap by studying a bibliometric dataset of development economic research in Vietnam from 2008 to 2020, which was extracted from The Social Sciences and Humanities Peer Awards (SSHPA) database. Descriptive and Bayesian statistics were used for analysis. We observed a steady growth of scientific publications over the years. Quantitative studies dominate the field, probably because of the availability of secondary data. The number of authors increased significantly, but the productivity is highly skewed toward the top 5% authors, who contributed 50.61% of total publications. Collaboration pattern witnessed a significant change: less dependence on foreign colleagues and the emergence of domestic research groups. The list of journals and publishers where Vietnamese authors published the most shows high quality and reputation. Although traditional paywalled publishing is common, the result suggests that open access (OA) is being adopted widely. In fact, OA articles tend to get more citations. Meanwhile, the citation is negatively associated with female authors and the number of Vietnamese authors. Finally, the number of foreigners in an article, and the participation of female authors tend to increase the quartile of the article.

Efficacy of Remote as Compared to In-Person School Psychological Services: A Rapid Systematic Evidence Review
Authors: von Hagen Alexa , Müller Bettina , Sedlak Anna , Bachmann Gerhard , Herbert Jana , Büttner Gerhard
Published: January 2021

As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the implementation of teleconsultation in the delivery of school psychological services has increased notoriously in many countries throughout the last year. With the aim of supporting evidence-based practices on this matter, we conducted a rapid systematic evidence review on the efficacy of teleconsultation as compared to in-person consultation in the delivery of school psychological services. From a total of 3,873 references identified through our search, only three (< 1%) reports met eligibility criteria for this review. One of these studies showed serious risk of bias according to the ROBINS-I rating scale (Sterne et al., 2016) and was therefore excluded from further analyses. Due to insufficient data, we were unable to compute meta-analyses and for this reason summarized the available evidence in a narrative style. Overall, the limited evidence that we identified seems to indicate that the impact of teleconsultation in the delivery of school psychological services on consumer satisfaction and evaluated mental health outcomes of service users is equivalent or slightly higher to in-person consultation. However, this information needs to be interpreted with caution due to the scarcity of available data, as well as methodological limitations. Our findings may serve as a basis for policymakers and school psychologists to guide an evidence-based implementation of teleconsultation practices, as well as a starting point for researchers to build on previous work when designing future studies in this field.

INTRODUCTION TO THEORIES OF LEARNING
Authors: M Nur Aeni
Published: January 2021

A number of definitions exist for the term “learning” and these definitions differ in the way they are put forward in different theories. However, the fundamental is the same. Learning refers to the process of increasing ones knowledge through the process of reading and the use of senses. The major debate that existed is whether learning is a product or a process. For us, learning is not an end; it is a process through which an individual increases his stock of knowledge and uses that knowledge to adapt into new environments and in defining a set of principles that he uses in his life.
A Critical Evaluation of the FBST ev for Bayesian Hypothesis Testing
Authors: Ly Alexander , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: January 2021

The “Full Bayesian Significance Test e-value”, henceforth FBST ev, has received increasing attention across a range of disciplines including psychology. We show that the FBST ev leads to four problems: (1) the FBST ev cannot quantify evidence in favor of a null hypothesis and therefore also cannot discriminate “evidence of absence” from “absence of evidence”; (2) the FBST ev is susceptible to sampling to a foregone conclusion; (3) the FBST ev violates the principle of predictive irrelevance, such that it is affected by data that are equally likely to occur under the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis; (4) the FBST ev suffers from the Jeffreys-Lindley paradox in that it does not include a correction for selection. These problems also plague the frequentist p-value. We conclude that although the FBST ev may be an improvement over the p-value, it does not provide a reasonable measure of evidence against the null hypothesis.
Do the colors of your letters depend on your language? Language-dependent and universal influences on grapheme-color synesthesia in seven languages.

Grapheme-color synesthetes experience graphemes as having a consistent color (e.g., “N is turquoise”). Synesthetes’ specific associations (which letter is which color) are influenced by linguistic properties (letter frequency, phonetic similarity, etc.), and plausibly reveal the characteristics of underlying letter representations. Despite their clear linguistic origin, these influences (termed “Regulatory Factors”, RFs) are almost always studied in a single language, typically English. Here, we measure the influence of three RFs (previously examined only in English) in Dutch, English, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish synesthetes. For two RFs, effect size significantly differed between languages. In contrast, an RF which we predicted to be universal (because it is shaped by prelinguistic shape-color associations) did not differ between languages. Our results suggest that monolingual synesthesia studies should be interpreted with caution. Furthermore, they show how synesthetic associations offer an exceptional opportunity to study linguistic and prelinguistic influences on letter representations in different languages.

Introduction: Water is essential for normal functioning of the human body. Total fluid intake assessment using fluid record method is considered to be a burden for respondents, and the development of technology is expected to contribute favourably to this issue. My Fluid Diary is a smartphone-based application developed by the researcher as a fluid intake recording tool. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of manual, paper-based fluid intake recording compared to using My Fluid Diary as a trial among Indonesian vocational female students. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to explore students’ acceptance of fluid intake recording using the smartphone-based application. An exploratory case study approach involving 38 female students as key informants was used via focus group discussion and in-depth interview as a method of triangulation. Results: Based on the data, female adolescents admitted that the application was more acceptable for fluid intake than recording manually using a book, in consideration of three aspects - the benefits, the easiness, and the application display or features. Based on its benefits, My Fluid Diary was mentioned as easy to learn and use. However, in order to improve the application, there is still a need for research development. Conclusion: My Fluid Diary was an application with respectable acceptance for fluid record compared to the manual, paper-based method among female adolescents.

Introduction: Teachers, by creating a culture of health within their classrooms, are agents of change and have an important role during students’ formative years. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an educational intervention on the nutrition literacy of primary school teachers in Yasuj. Methods: In this quasiexperimental study, 110 primary school teachers in Yasuj, who were randomly selected from two areas of the city (intervention and comparison groups), were included in the study. Nutrition literacy was measured by using a validated tool for the Iranian society. After analysing the data, the educational content and structure were developed to improve nutrition literacy. The intervention consisted of two training sessions, provision of educational pamphlets and sending of two SMS messages. Data were analysed before and three months after the intervention by using SPSS16 software. Results: Before the intervention, the mean ± standard deviation of nutrition literacy in the comparison and intervention groups were 27.04±3.15 and 27.25±3.27, respectively. According to repeated measures ANOVA, nutrition literacy score improved significantly three months after the intervention (p time = 0.001). Besides, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p group = 0.03). The interaction between time and group was also significant (p time × group = 0.001). Conclusion: The educational intervention led to an improvement in the nutrition literacy of primary school teachers in Yasuj.

Authors: Gairhe Samaya , Gauchan Devendra , Timsina Krishna Prasad
Published: January 2021

Millet is an important food crop for ensuring food and nutrition security of smallholder farmers and marginalized communities in the hill and mountain of Nepal. The main objectives of the study were to assess prospects and potentiality of millet by analysing the area, production, productivity, and trade for the year 2009-2019.  The study used a combination of exploratory survey and secondary data for assessing the production system, compound growth rate, coefficient of variation (CV), instability index (IIN), and trade specialization index. The results of the study are compiled and the synthesis of the analysis is presented in both tabular and graphic forms. Growth rate analysis showed that the area of millet is declining but the import value, production, and yield were increasing at the rate of 14.62, 0.47, and 0.73 percent per annum respectively. Import and export values and quantity showed higher CV as well as IIN while area, production, and yield showed lower values. The trade specialization index was found as -0.992, which indicates that millet is in the introduction phase. Out of the total millets area, 78% of the area lies in the hill, 19% in the mountain, and only 3% in the terai. The highest area and production can be observed in Bagmati province while the least was observed in province no two. The study implies that there is a need to increase production and productivity to reduce increasing imports and make the country self-reliant in millet production with increased investment in research and development and adequate support from national policies and programs.

Published: January 2021

This study evaluated hide and skin marketing in Adamawa State, Nigeria, with the aim of describing the socioeconomic variables of the marketers, determining the marketing efficiency and major socioeconomic factors that influenced participation in the area. Purposive and simple random sampling methods were used in the selection of four large and small ruminant markets, and 120 hide and skin marketers, respectively. Descriptive statistics, Marketing Efficiency (ME) and regression analysis were employed in the analyses of data. Results show that all the marketers were males (100%) and married (66.67%) within middle-aged group. A larger proportion (40.00%) had secondary school education and fairly experienced in the business. The most popular (51.67%) channel of hide and skin marketing was producer-rural collector-urban collector-wholesaler-tanneries, with a very efficient marketing (178.52%). Further, the level of education and marketing experience of marketers and the average purchasing price of hide and skin were found to heavily influence the marketing output in the area. The major challenges experienced were insufficiency of capital (88.33%), multiple taxations on transit (71.66%) and quality deterioration (63.33%). It is recommended that institutions that intend to improve on hide and skin marketing in the State and areas with similar economic terrains should resolve the aspect of inadequacy of funds, minimise tax on products, and employ efficient extension services to tackle spoilage.

Published: January 2021

Wheat is the third most important cereal crop of Nepal after rice and maize in terms of area. The study on profitability and marketing of wheat was conducted in the Rupandehi district in 2019. The household survey, focus group discussion, interview with the individual market actors such as input suppliers, producers, collectors, wholesalers, millers, and retailers in selected clusters was carried out. The study showed that the Benefit-Cost Ratio of wheat production (BCR) was 1.87. The marketing margins at three different levels of marketing farm-wholesale, wholesale-retail, and farm-retail were also analyzed. The farm-retail marketing margin was found highest (31.42%) and the farm-wholesale marketing margins were less (15.78%). The producers’ share in consumer price was 68.5% and the total gross margin was 56.36%.  This showed if value-added activities are absent in the chain, the shorter chain can provide a higher margin to farmers by bypassing the intermediaries.

The study assessed how smallholder vegetable farmers are linked to formal markets in Lagos state, Nigeria. The study specifically described the socioeconomic characteristics of the smallholder vegetable farmers, ascertained perceived benefits from the linkage and constraints in linking smallholder vegetable farmers to formal markets. A random sampling technique was used to sample 120 vegetable farmers from Agbowa and Epe clusters. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The results revealed that smallholder vegetable farmers were relatively young with mean age of 41.5 years, mean household size was 4 persons and they mainly sourced information from friends and fellow farmers. The findings also revealed that the smallholder vegetable farmers had strong linkage with input suppliers (x̅ = 2.50), International Fertilizer Development Center (x̅ = 2.33), World Vegetable Center (x̅ = 1.51) and Center for Inclusive Agriculture and Gender Development (x̅ = 1.46). Exposure to production technologies and specialized training (x̅ = 4.69) were the most perceived benefits from the linkage. Level of linkage with farmers and other actors was constrained by lack of basic infrastructure (x̅ = 2.50) and inadequate credit facilities (x̅ = 2.06). The study also found a significant correlation between household size and level of linkages. The linkages arising from the arrangement had no doubt exposed the farmers to production technologies and market information. Extension agencies and relevant non-governmental organisations are implored to offer specific trainings to vegetable farmers on value addition to enhance their participation in the formal markets.
Accusing Russia of Fascism
Authors: Laruelle Marlene
Published: January 2021

With memory wars between Central and Eastern European states and Russia, the Second World War has become a useable past instrumentalized as a currency for legitimacy on the international scene. These memory wars focus on who was fascist and who colluded with Nazism—the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1941 or the collaborationist forces in Central and Eastern Europe? And, subsequently, who are the new fascists advancing a revisionist interpretation of the Second World War today: Putin’s Russia or Central and Eastern European countries? What is at stake here is the recognition of Russia as having a legitimate say in European affairs because of the Soviet victory, or its exclusion for refusing to repent of its role in dividing Europe and occupying a part thereof. This article debunks the accusation of fascism attributed to Putin’s regime and offers to look at the label of fascism as a mirror game between the West and Russia in defining what Europe should be like and Russia’s inclusion or exclusion.

Background: Diagnosis and monitoring of cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) is challenging. Transient elastography (TE) is a rapid, non-invasive method for assessing liver fibrosis. Its role in detecting fibrosis in CFLD has only begun to be explored. The aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) has been validated as a predictor of hepatic fibrosis in other chronic liver diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of APRI and TE in identifying liver fibrosis in pediatric CF patients. Methods: Patients aged 2–18 years were recruited from the British Columbia Children’s Hospital CF clinic. Patients were determined to have CFLD using standard criteria. Charts were reviewed, and each patient underwent TE. Results: Of the 55 patients included in the study (50.9% male, mean age 11.6 y), 22 (40%) had CFLD. All mean liver enzymes were higher in the CFLD group, notably alanine transaminase ( p = 0.031). Mean liver stiffness (LS) and APRI were also higher in the CFLD group (LS: 5.9 versus 4.5 kPa, p = 0.015; APRI: 0.40 versus 0.32, p = 0.119). Linear regression showed a mild positive association between the two ( r2 = 0.386). Conclusions: TE values were higher among CFLD patients and correlated with APRI values, suggesting that these tools may have clinical applications for identifying and following this population. Further research is needed on a larger scale to determine the relative value and clinical utility of TE and APRI among patients with CFLD.

Present-day status of tourist industry in Ukrainian and future outlook of its development were considered. Recommendations of rational application of Ukrainian natural-reserved territories and enhancement of the strategic plan development of tourism in Ukraine were proposed. Tourism is an important part of every country's infrastructure. After all, tourism enterprises and organizations operate in close cooperation with other economic activities, providing employment. This, in turn, develops a positive image and attractiveness of the country as a sphere of entrepreneurship and business cooperation, promotes sustainable economic growth in the long run, attracting foreign investment in the economy, strengthening the revenue side of the state budget, improving the country's balance of payments and The tourism business in Ukraine today can rightly be considered dynamic and profitable. According to the statistics of the World Tourism Organization, tourism accounts for 10 % of gross world product, 7 % of total investment, 5 % of all tax revenues. Tourism directly affects about 40 sectors of the economy and 10–15 % of the working population of any country: it is a whole industry that unites around many related industries, such as passenger transport (air, car and sea), the field of household Geography and tourism 159 services (hotels, restaurants, laundries, entertainment facilities, etc.), souvenirs and much more. Monitoring of the state of development of the tourism sector today demonstrates the need to intensify processes and measures to overcome the detrimental impact of the pandemic on the tourism market of the domestic economy. The nationwide implementation of all anti-crisis levers, systematization and consistency in the implementation of all measures will help to stabilize the development of tourism entities as soon as possible and achieve the level of economic efficiency.
Economic and legal responsibility for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of contractual obligations
Authors:   Uman national university of horticulture, Biloshkurska Z.P. , Polishchuk O.A.
Published: January 2021

The article covers the issue of legal liability for non-fulfillment of contractual obligations in the field of management. Issues of liability are regulated in accordance with current legislation — the Civil Code of Ukraine, the Commercial Code of Ukraine, and other regulations. They regulate the obligations of the parties to properly perform their obligations under the contract, which are guaranteed by measures of property liability imposed on the party that does not perform them to the other party or performs them improperly. The economic and legal responsibility depending on the types of economic offenses and the sanctions established for these offenses is investigated. For the first time in legislative practice, the Commercial Code of Ukraine proposed such a universal sanction as compensation for damages. Its universality lies in the fact that damages are not a sanction of a predetermined amount; their recovery (compensation) is provided in case of any economic offense, unless otherwise expressly provided by law. The article also provides a definition of non-pecuniary damage and the procedure for its compensation. The norm is new for economic legislation and it no longer applies to the offender, but to the injured party, ie the party in whose sphere of activity the losses occurred. The latter is obliged to take all necessary measures to minimize damages if it has been warned in a timely manner by the offender about the possible non-fulfillment of his obligation. Otherwise, the injured party is deprived of the right to compensation. The article covers the issue of joint and several compensation for damages caused by several participants in economic relations at the same time. The issue of voluntary compensation for damages, as well as the issue of filing claims and lawsuits were also considered.
Models of systematic formation and implementation of state regulation of the development of agricultural production

The agricultural policy framework must be appropriate to the operating environment and be adapted so that agricultural production and food processing can operate successfully on domestic and foreign markets, use resources efficiently and protect the environment. Market orientation, entrepreneurial potential, personal responsibility and innovation potential in agriculture should be strengthened by regulatory actions from the state. Therefore, the conditions of the special model of agricultural policy within the framework of the general economic policy in all countries are built according to the special framework conditions for farming, which include climate change, structural deficiencies and the dependence of production on market needs. State regulation of the development of agricultural production in a market economy is a necessary tool for creating a strong and independent economy based on the principles of competitive advantages and is characterized by a constant rate of upward dynamics of effective indicators. Rational and effective forms and effective tools and mechanisms for the implementation of state regulation of agricultural producers should be aimed at fulfilling the priority tasks of the strategy for the development of the state's economy and meeting the needs of agricultural producers, encouraging them to operate on conditions of innovation and efficiency. The study of the experience of state regulation in the EU countries and the world indicates a combination of instruments and mechanisms for regulating their activities with the use of control over product prices and the development of certain areas of activity. At the same time, the optimization of the Ukrainian model of state regulation of the development of agricultural production should be built taking into account the range of priority recipients and the offer of financial intermediaries that are relevant for agricultural producers. In addition, agricultural policies should better link the use of public funds to trends such as consumer awareness, digitization and networking, social participation, integrated value chains or transnational private standards.
