Published: December 2024

The article is aimed at determining the features of the formation of the revenue part of local budgets of Ukraine in the context of decentralization and the development of provisions for increasing the financial capacity of local self-government. The dynamics and structure of local budget revenues as a structural element of the financial space of Ukraine in the period 2005–2023 are studied. It is found that the most significant groups in the revenues of local budgets were tax revenues and transfers, at the same time, during the analyzed period, there was a trend of increasing the fiscal significance of the tax component, which ensured the systematic formation of financially viable territorial communities. The need to optimize the application of the mechanism for distributing taxes of national importance between different levels of the budget system, as well as to revise conceptual approaches to the use of interbudgetary transfers as a financial instrument of socioeconomic equalization, is substantiated. The structure of tax revenues of local budgets is analyzed, the reasons for the strengthening of the fiscal significance of the actual group of local taxes and fees in their composition are examined. On the basis of a comparative analysis of approaches to taxation of private income, the need to apply a proportional scale of personal income tax in Ukraine is substantiated. The necessity and expediency of strengthening the fiscal significance of property taxation is emphasized, the causes and consequences of including land payments in the number of local taxes are analyzed. The author reveals the institutional features of the collection of a single tax and its potential in the post-crisis period to support business initiatives, increase the efficiency of social production, and enhance social guarantees and standards. The issues of further expanding the powers of local self-government bodies in the field of property tax administration, filling in the registers of the tax base, sending tax notifications-decisions, providing advisory support to taxpayers and work in the field of tax debt management are highlighted.

In this study, six convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, VGG16, Inception-v3, ResNet, MobileNet, NasNet, and EfficientNet are tested on classifying dermatological lesions. The research preprocesses and features extracts skin lesions data to achieve an accurate skin lesion classification in employing two benchmark datasets, HAM10000 and ISIC-2019. The CNN models then extract features from the filtered, resized images (uniform dimensions: 128 × 128 × 3 pixels). These results show that EfficientNet consistently achieves higher accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score than any other model on melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratoses, with 94.0%, 92.0%, 93.8%, respectively. The competitive performance of NasNet is also demonstrated for eczema and psoriasis. This study concludes that proper preprocessing and optimized CNN architecture are important for dermatological image classification. The results are promising, however, challenges such as the imbalance in the datasets and the requirement for larger ethically gathered datasets exist. For future work, dataset diversity will be improved, along with model generalization, through interdisciplinary collaboration and advanced CNN architectures.

As águas subterrâneas têm sido historicamente reconhecidas como uma das principais fontes de abastecimento, devido à sua qualidade física e química, que frequentemente permite seu consumo sem a necessidade de tratamento prévio. No entanto, no início do século XXI, muitas regiões enfrentam uma grave crise de escassez hídrica, comprometendo o acesso à água potável e impactando diretamente o desenvolvimento social e econômico dessas localidades. Em resposta a esse cenário, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade da água subterrânea em três pontos do município de Montadas, localizado na região semiárida do Estado da Paraíba, uma área com grandes desafios hídricos e alta dependência de fontes subterrâneas para o abastecimento. Dada a relevância da questão, torna-se essencial realizar uma análise aprofundada das alternativas para garantir o fornecimento de água de qualidade à população. A avaliação da qualidade da água foi realizada por meio da análise de diversos parâmetros, incluindo físicos como pH, turbidez, condutividade elétrica, sólidos totais dissolvidos (STD), e químicos como dureza total, cloreto, ferro, nitrato, além da análise microbiológica de presença/ausência de Escherichia coli. As análises seguiram rigorosamente os métodos físico-químicos do Instituto Adolfo Lutz, conforme descrito na 4ª versão do Capítulo VIII - Águas, e os resultados obtidos foram comparados com os padrões estabelecidos pela Portaria N° 888/21 do Ministério da Saúde. Os resultados preliminares indicaram que a qualidade da água subterrânea no município varia consideravelmente, devido à natureza anisotrópica das microbacias. Essas variações não estão apenas relacionadas à contaminação, mas também às características geológicas e hidrogeológicas específicas de cada bacia hidrográfica, que influenciam diretamente a composição da água e sua adequação para consumo humano.
Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of Some Economic Variables on Public Liquidity in Iraq for the Period (2004-2020)
Authors: Thamer Saleh* Qutaiba , Mustafa Abdul Hameed Manahel
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The research aims to diagnose the extent of the central bank's control over public liquidity by integrating the arrangement of monetary and macro indicators in the economy, with the aim of improving the management of public liquidity within the Iraqi economy.
Theoretical framework: The research dealt with the study of analyzing the impact of some economic variables, such as public debt, gross domestic product, currency window, local credit, and general liquidity in Iraq, by using the linear regression model to describe the relationship between economic phenomena, specifically between the independent variables and the dependent variable. From here, the research problem can be formulated through interventions in the work of monetary policy tools. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the effects of financial authority on the economy by measuring the variance in the impact left by monetary tools, which is reflected in the macroeconomic variables, which are considered indicators of the efficiency of economic policy.
Design/methodology/approach: The study measures and analyses monetary data from (2004-2020) using the real-time equation model SURE to measure the impact of inward ratios (legal reserve, rediscount rate, currency window, public debt, GDP, domestic credit), on Iraq's public liquidity.
Findings: Using quantitative methods to achieve results enables us to obtain more accurate estimates than analytical results. Therefore, given the varying degrees of stability and the multiple equations included in the model, simultaneous equations models were adopted to measure the impact of monetary policy variables on the size of financial liquidity in the economy and to guide the Iraqi economy in specific directions. This approach is in line with the country's monetary policy.
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The results emphasize the need to integrate macroeconomic indicators into a standard model for measuring and analyzing public liquidity and understanding management.
Originality/value: The originality of the current research is highlighted by the analysis method used, which is the ordinary least squares (OLS) method, which is a widely used method in measuring and estimating linear regression, which forms the basis for many standard economic models. The linear regression model was used to describe the relationship between economic phenomena, specifically between the independent and dependent variables.
The Relationship Between Government Spending and Productivity in Iraqi Economy for The Period (2004-2022)
Authors: Kadhim mohi Gawad , Mahdi Abbas Al-Birmani Salah
Published: December 2024

The study examined the government expenditure patterns in Iraq, specifically focusing on its fundamental components: current and investment expenditure and total and partial productivity. The problem of the study arises in answering the following question: Does government spending have a role in increasing the productivity of the Iraqi economy? The study aims to determine whether government expenditure substantially influences the improvement of the Iraqi economy's productivity. The objective was to thoroughly analyze the alterations in government expenditure over the research duration and assess the magnitude of any deviations. Furthermore, to assess the efficiency of public expenditure and examine various methods of gauging its productivity, investigating the correlation between government outlays and productivity. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach to assess the fiscal expansion program in Iraq, particularly in the period following 2003. The main reason for this is allocating a substantial amount of government funds to non-productive current expenses, which has little effect on production.
Furthermore, the public expenditure base index, which signifies the ideal proportion of government spending on GDP, varies from 25% to 35%. This metric represents the extent of government involvement in the economy. In Iraq, substantial government interference has been in economic activities, accompanied by a consistent rise in public expenditure rates. The primary cause of this is mainly attributed to the circumstances the country experienced post-2003, wherein the breakdown of infrastructure necessitated the provision of extensive services. Furthermore, the private sector is in its early stages and cannot stimulate development and foster economic expansion. Hence, governmental engagement in economic and social matters is imperative.

Published: December 2024

The Southeast Pacific arid zone, encompassing Peruvian and Chilean coastal deserts, features several wetlands that are influenced by upwelling waters and provide critical ecosystem services. Despite the significance of wetlands such as the coastal lagoon Poza La Arenilla (PLA) in Lima, Peru, their proximity to urban areas exposes them to eutrophication. This, in turn, presents considerable challenges for conservation efforts. Effective conservation strategies demand a comprehensive assessment of trophic conditions, achieved here by studying living and dead benthic foraminifera assemblages. These microorganisms serve as bioindicators for organic sources and enrichment. We explored their relationships with hydrological factors (dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity) and sedimentary parameters (total organic matter, carbon, nitrogen, stable isotopes) in the PLA. Our results show that foraminifera distribution is influenced by organic matter (OM) from marine phytoplankton/algae and bacterial sources. Foraminifera were dominated by hyaline and soft-walled species, and 4 distinct foraminiferal assemblages were identified. Psammophaga sp1 prevailed in areas with abundant OM, while Bathysiphon sp. was associated with less organic conditions in sandy sediments. Additionally, Quinqueloculina seminulum, Buliminella elegantissima, Ammonia confertitesta, and Bathysiphon sp. were frequent and abundant species in the PLA. Dead assemblages showed a 2-fold increase in species richness compared to living foraminifera, indicating seasonal species turnover. Our study evidenced the importance of the whole diversity of foraminifera for environmental and/or ecological assessments, as groups of soft-walled and agglutinated foraminifera comprise potential bioindicators for eutrophication.

Mental health issues are endemic in workplaces and as such are critical issues within nonprofit organizations. In Canadian consumer, psychiatric survivor, and Mad (CSM) community nonprofits, given the goal of employing persons who identify as CSM, a need exists to uphold disability rights while providing adequate guardrails for organizational stability. I present a case study of employee mental health crisis in that nonprofit setting. I discuss an anti-racist, anticolonial perspective regarding such incidents, suggesting nidotherapy (fitting the work environment for the person) and advance directives at work as preventive approaches. I briefly speak about presenteeism, or the working wounded, in the sometimes highly charged context of mental health nonprofits. I conclude that the larger, robust Canadian nonprofits can weather such incidents but small, emerging nonprofits are the most vulnerable.

The capital of Saudi Arabia is evolving into one of the most attractive cities in the Middle East due to various ambitious expansion projects aligned with Vision 2030. This urban development strategy requires researchers to adopt evaluation approaches based on comprehensive sustainability criteria, including environmental and cultural sustainability, community involvement, and economic feasibility. This study utilizes the Delphi methodology to define evaluation criteria and their importance, employing the Delphi technique to gather insights from a group of experts through three rounds of questionnaires. The responses were analyzed using the Top-of-Priority Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) technique to develop an integrated evaluation model, which assessed architectural practices in Riyadh through three key projects: The King Fahad National Library, Qasr Al-Hokm, and Saudi Arabia's Digital City. Data sources included extensive site visits, project documentation, and expert evaluations. The evaluation model demonstrated varying levels of sustainability across the projects. The King Fahad National Library and Qasr Al-Hokm showed high scores in sustainability practices, while Digital City lagged behind in several areas, highlighting the need for improvement. This research enhances the understanding of how globalization influences urban renewal in Riyadh and emphasizes the importance of developing effective evaluation models that address the multifaceted nature of sustainability. The findings underscore the need for continuous reassessment of architectural initiatives in the city to align with both international standards and local cultural contexts. The proposed evaluation model successfully tests sustainability frameworks at the local level, indicating areas for future enhancements and contributing valuable insights toward achieving sustainable urban development in Saudi Arabia.
Case Report: The unrelenting journey—successful resolution of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) through right cardiac sympathetic denervation in a teenager after left cardiac sympathetic denervation

Background

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare inherited arrhythmia disorder characterized by ventricular arrhythmia triggered by adrenergic stimulation.

Case presentation

A 9-year-old boy presented with convulsions following physical exertion. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (VT) during a treadmill test led to the diagnosis of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variant of RYR2:c.720G>A (p.ArG2401His). Nadolol was initially started. However, he experienced aborted VT arrest three years later. Flecainide was thus added as dual therapy and he underwent left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD). Subsequently, a transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted because he still had several episodes of bidirectional VT. Despite a good compliance to medication, the patient still had exercise induced VT episodes with new onset of atrial fibrillation. High dose nadolol was required and amiodarone was added. Despite maximizing the dosage of these three antiarrhythmics, the patient continued to experience multiple episodes of ventricular fibrillation with appropriate ICD shocks and persistent atrial arrhythmias. Right cardiac sympathetic denervation (RCSD) was performed as the last modality of treatment. Patient had a total elimination of VT post bilateral sympathectomy. He remained asymptomatic on follow up. A follow-up treadmill test showed no recurrence of exercise-induced PVCs and VT.

Conclusion

We illustrated the challenges and the complex decision-making process encountered in managing refractory CPVT. In patients unresponsive to conventional therapies, RCSD in additional to LCSD is a safe and effective alternative treatment. A history of LCSD should not preclude physicians from considering RCSD in children with refractory CPVT.
