Published: December 2020

Forming of efficient socio-economic policy in conditions of modern globalization trends is characterized by the fact that external environment becomes more and more unclear, its changes become more frequent and its consequences become unpredictable. There is an urgent need to search for the reserves to improve territorial management. The process of managerial decision-making is an integral part of management cycle. It is necessary to have complex information to make efficient decisions that enables establishment of the system of direct and reverse relations between the activity of legislative and executive authorities and response to them in the regions. The system of monitoring is currently the one that is most relevant under market conditions. It provides quick collection of information on complex socio-economic phenomena and processes expressed in a few important parameters for immediate diagnostics of an object’s condition. The article deals with theoretical foundations of the research of the social and economic systems development. The authors prove that development should be considered as a general process in the organic unity of the socio-economic system. The necessity of monitoring the social and economic system of the region is outlined. To achieve the goal, the following general scientific and special research methods are used: observation, generalization, comparison and analysis, abstract and logical method. According to the results of methodological approaches, the definition of the term "social and economic system" is presented. The essence of social and economic system is disclosed in the article. The article argues that the development of the social and economic system is formed in a complex by the interconnected factors and is provided by an effective mechanism of state regulation and management at the regional level. The authors prove that the essence of management of the development of socio-economic system can be defined as a special kind of purposeful activity, which contributes to the achievement of progressive changes in maintaining a dynamic equilibrium and the implementation of the process of expanded reproduction in the regions. The article provides suggestions over the development of monitoring of social and economic system in the region, which will allow to justify the priorities of social and economic development, will increase the effectiveness of strategic planning, forecasting and programming, and most importantly – will provide the necessary rates of economic growth and improving of the living standards.
Attracting foreign capital as a factor in ensuring the country's economic growth
Authors: Malyshivskyi Taras , Stefinin Volodymyr
Published: December 2020

The article examines the relationship between attracting foreign capital in the form of foreign direct investment and ensuring economic development. In particular, the analysis of the current structure of the economy is indicated, its raw material character is pointed out and, based on other researches, the necessity of its reform is substantiated, as Ukraine will remain a low-income country if the current trend continues. This is due to the fact that countries with a raw material structure of the economy are characterized by a low level of economic complexity, and therefore are not able to generate high levels of income in society. As a result, the expediency of stimulating the attraction of investment resources into the country’s economy, in particular in the form of foreign direct investment, is substantiated. The dynamics of attracting foreign direct investment to Ukraine and a number of other countries for the period from 1991 to 2019 is analyzed and the key negative factors that deter foreign investors from investing in the economy of Ukraine are indicated. As a result of the analysis, divergent trends in the economic development of Ukraine and other analyzed countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania, Hungary) were identified, which contributed to economic stagnation and restrained economic growth and development. Taking into account the analysis, as well as based on the concept of investment and innovation growth, it is proposed to use the experience of Israel to improve the country’s investment attractiveness and stimulate foreign capital inflows by adapting the Yozma program to Ukrainian realities. According to our estimates, the adaptation of this program to the Ukrainian economy will attract about $ 350 million over a five-year period of venture capital alone. In addition, programs such as YOSMA can also be implemented at the regional or even local level. We believe that the use of this tool will improve the investment attractiveness of the country, as well as provide sufficient financial resources to modernize the domestic economy and ensure rapid economic growth.

Published: December 2020

In Malaysia, Pineapple is a one of tropical crop that contributes in generating Malaysian economy. Pineapple is mostly planted on mineral and peat soils, where each has different practices and approaches. In Peat soil condition, nowadays farmers normally managed the pineapple residues by using a chemical to kill and fire to burn before it been replanted. This is common practice to remove the pineapple residues. With this method soil fertility can be affected and open burning will be polluting the environment, as the government nowadays recommending toward green approach.(1) In the 9th Malaysian plan (RMK-9), MARDI has come out with a machine to shred and plough pineapple plant residues back into the soil which are practiced for mineral soil. The machine is adopting a motivator concept. Unfortunately, the machine had the unsatisfied result because the plants were not chopped into small pieces but only separated into a few large parts. (2) In the 11th Malaysian plan (RMK-11), the development of a new concept and prototype with a double rotor drum, design type blade, special blade arrangement and speed gave a promising result in a way to manage the residues of pineapple plants easily without chemical or fire. (3)(4)The objective of the study is based on the design of the machined with double rotor drum shredding that can been conceded as normally rotovator but which has resulted in fine and easy disposal pineapple plant residues.

Authors: Fazlil Ilahi Wan Fazilah
Published: December 2020

Fertigation is one of the most important application of irrigation that are being used in commercial farming. This aplication help farmers to timely supply the water through drip irrigation coupled with accurate amout of water, rate of fertilizer application, and at the same time improving the nutrient uptake and water use efficiency (WUE) by the plant. The water supply through surface and subsurface drip irrigation system is the most efficient irrigation practice compared to others.Water supply from subsurface drip irrigation system is directly into the root zone, while for surface drip irrigation, water is supplied above the root zone. However, the use of surface drip irrigation system can cause the irrigation water easily evaporate to environment and reduce the WUE by plant. Rockmelon (cucumis melo) was selected as plant material in this study. Rockmelon is one of the plant that contain sweet and juicy along with other nutritional value. It also has commercial interest in a number of countries, including Europe, the United States, Mediterranean and Asia. The objectives of the study were to observe the different growth rate of rockmelon between surface and subsurface drip irrigation as well as to observe the efficiency of irrigation. This study was conducted under the rain shelter at Unit Fertigasi Projek Keusahawanan Ladang 10, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). There were two treatments of irrigation tested, surface drip irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation. Data collection include leaf diameter, leaf length and fruit circumferences. The effect of irrigation on growth performance of rockmelon were observe during week one and week six and was analyzed with Statistically Analysis System (SAS). The result of this study showed that, the growth for surface drip irrigation is higher compared to subsurface drip irrigation and both of the treatments achieved 25% of irrigation application efficiency.

Halal food indeed remains the main concern among consumers when they decide to eat outside. As there are many different approaches in choosing a restaurant among consumers especially youngsters, the halal status of these restaurants usually raises some critical issues particularly on ingredients used as well as halal certification and logo. Hence, this study was carried out to investigate the level of awareness among Generation Z (Gen Z) towards eating at halal certified restaurants, to examine the association between socio-demographic profiles of Gen Z and level of awareness towards eating at halal certified restaurants and to determine factors that influence Gen Z towards eating at halal certified restaurants. Data was gathered via self-administered questionnaires with 1,050 Gen Z respondents. Descriptive analysis, mean score analysis, Chi-square analysis, and factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that a low level of awareness was found among Gen Z towards eating at halal certified restaurants. The results also showed a few socio-demographic profiles to have associations with the awareness level towards eating at halal certified restaurants. Five factors were revealed to influence Gen Z towards eating at halal certified restaurants namely halal certification and logo, religious responsibility, lifestyle, social influence, and attitude. As the level of awareness among Gen Z towards eating at halal certified restaurants was found to be low thus, relevant awareness programs and halal campaigns should be carried out more frequently to increase their level of awareness on halal.

The surging demand of pineapple creates opportunities for smallholder growers in maximising their income. However, the pineapple is a type of fruit that is very perishable in nature, thus it requires immediate sale to consumers for them to get the best quality of the fruit. Moreover, its commodity price also depends on its quality on the shelves. In this respect, it is important for the smallholders to decide for the best marketing channel to distribute their farm produce to get maximum profit. This study was conducted to investigate the preferred pineapple marketing channel among smallholder pineapple growers in Samarahan, Sarawak. Questionnaires were distributed to 123 respondents and the data was analyze using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 22.

Background: Latest clinical data on treatment on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) indicated that older patients and those with underlying history of smoking, hypertension or diabetes mellitus might have poorer prognosis of recovery from COVID-19. We aimed to examine the relationship of various prevailing population-based risk factors in comparison with mortality rate and case fatality rate (CFR) of COVID-19.Methods: Demography and epidemiology data were used, which have been identified as verified or postulated risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19. The number of confirmed cases and the number of deaths until April 16, 2020 for all affected countries were extracted from Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 websites. Datasets for indicators that are prevailing or postulated factors of COVID-19 mortality were extracted from the World Bank database. Out of 185 affected countries, the top 50 countries were selected for analysis in this study. The following seven variables were included in the analysis, based on data availability and completeness: 1) proportion of people aged 65 above, 2) proportion of male in the population, 3) smoking prevalence, and 4) number of hospital beds. Linear regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between CFR and the aforementioned risk factors.Results: United States shows approximately 0.20% of confirmed cases and it has about 4.85% of CFR. Luxembourg shows the highest percentage of confirmed cases of 0.55% but a low 2.05% of CFR, showing that a high percentage of confirmed cases does not necessarily lead to high CFR. There is a significant association between CFR, people aged 65 and above (β=4.70; p = 0.035).Conclusion: Countries with high proportion of older people above 65 years old have a significant risk of having high CFR from COVID-19. Nevertheless, gender differences and smoking prevalence failed to prove a significant relationship with COVID-19 mortality rate and CFR.

Azərbaycan Respublikası dövlət müstəqilliyini əldə etdikdən sonra digər sahələrdə olduğu kimi, mühasibat uçotu, audit işinin yenidən təşkili və təkmilləşdirilməsi problemləri ilə də üz-üzə dayanmışdır. Artıq respublikada «Mühasibat uçotu», «Auditor xidməti» haqqında qanunlar qəbul edilmiş və bu sahədə müəyyən normativ hüquqi aktlar, qərarlar təsdiq olunmuşdur. Uçot praktikasına «qeyri-maddi aktivlər», «maliyyə qoyuluşları», «icarə münasibətləri», «səhmlər», «istiqrazlar» və s. kimi yeni uçot obyektləri daxil edilmiş, mühasibat uçotunun təşkilində bir sıra dəyişikliklər baş vermiş, «sərbəst mühasib», «müəssisənin uçot siyasəti» kimi anlayışlar yaranmışdır. Mühasibat uçotunun, audit işinin qarşısında duran vəzifələrin yeni iqtisadi sistemə uyğunlaşdırılması prosesi sürətlənmişdir. Lakin bütün bunlarla yanaşı, mühasibat uçotunun, audit işinin səviyyəsinin dünya standartlarına çatdırılması prosesi hələ də özünün tam həllini tapmamışdır. Bunlardan mühasibat uçotunun hesablar planının bazar iqtisadiyyatının tələblərinə dolğun cavab verməməsi, bu istiqamətdə bir çox vacib uçot təlimatlarının tərtibinin sürətləndirilməsi, müəyyən uçot əməliyyatların keçmiş Sovetlər İttifaqının müvafiq təlimatları ilə tənzimlənməsi prosesinin davam etməsi və bu kimi həllini gözləyən uçot atributlarının təkmilləşdirilməsinin ləng inkişafı yeni iqtisadi şəraitdə mühasibat uçotu işinin təşkilində qüsurlu çəhətlərdəndir.

Methods: On the basis of a comprehensive study of bacteriological and immunological data in 100 patients with various etiologies osteomyelitis, using correlation analysis was determined: that the types of microbial complications following trauma and the date of the body's immune system depends on etiological factors. The frequency of microbes is different and depends on the localization of the injury and the surgical intervention.

Results: frequency of the etiological factors in the contingent we studied, was distributed as follows: S. aureus-36,9%, S.Epidermidis-52,4, Ps. aeruginosa 27,4%, E. coli- 13,1%, Proteus- 27,4%. Associated infection (or co-infection e.g. S. aureus+S. Epidermidis, or St.Epidermidisis+Ps. Aeruginosa and etc) occurred in 22.6% of cases. A significantly high correlation coefficient was observed in patients who came to the clinics spontaneously or with delay, as well as with the early onset of the infectious process (up to two weeks) and surgical treatment. It also correlates positively with a decrease of following immunological parameters: NK, CD4+, CD8+ and CD 19+, the leucocytes phagocytic index is reduced and the blast transformation reaction of lymphocytes rate was increased. There is a significant correlation with benign outcome of treatment, which indicates that, the patient was sent for outpatient treatment (R=0, 79).

Daie, who has credibility in communicating and utilizing YouTube as a medium of da'wah delivery is seen to raise students' moral awareness. Nevertheless, there is a question of the aspect of Daie's credibility and attractiveness in increasing the morality of university students. A survey of 351 students from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) was conducted. Credibility and attractive instruments were taken from the TEARS model by Shimp (2000). Moral instruments are modified from Prihatini, Mardapi, and Sutrisno (2013) to measure the morals of university students from moral dimensions to Allah and the Prophet, morals to themselves and the surrounding areas, and morals to the environment. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between Daie's credibility towards the awareness of moral changes in Allah and the Prophet with the value of r=0.295, morals towards themselves and the surrounding areas with the value of r=0.292, and morality towards the environment with r=0.315.  The findings also showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the attractiveness of preachers towards the awareness of moral changes in Allah and the Prophet with the value of r=0.252, morals towards themselves and the surrounding areas with the value of r=0.267, and morality towards the environment with r=0.138. In conclusion, a Daie YouTube who is credible and attractive as a preacher can increase the tendency of the younger generation to gain knowledge related to religion and encourage younger generations especially university students to strive in improving their morality.

Published: December 2020

The growth of ecotourism has an impact on the livelihoods of people living within and adjacent to protected areas, where ecotourism activities often take place. In some cases, evolving ecotourism has compromised the ability of locals to sustain and diversify their livelihoods. The aim
of this study was to examine the impact of ecotourism and conservation measures implemented in protected areas in Cameroon on local communities residing either within or in close proximity to them. The study employed a mixed method research approach based on two case study areas in Cameroon
(the Mount Cameroon National Park and the Douala Edea Wildlife Reserve). Key findings of the study suggest that the geographic location of communities, coupled with instituted conservation and preservation measures and the level of ecotourism activity, has a direct bearing on the severity
of resultant impacts experienced by locals. Overall, measures in protected areas have been found to increase the conservation and preservation thereof. However, the extent to which communities are impacted upon by these measures differs in each case study area owing to factors such as geographical
proximity, livelihood strategies, and community involvement in ecotourism.

Published: December 2020

Feeding programmes are critical for quality education to be realized in all learning institutions starting from Pre-primary to higher levels globally. When there is no provision of meals to children in school, they lack the energy to concentrate in classroom and co-curricular activities. It also weakens their intellectual ability and may hinder the development of competencies among pre-primary school learners. In this study, it was assumed that the provision of meals to pupils in school influences the acquisition of competencies among the learners. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to establish the influence of School Feeding Programmes on the acquisition of competencies in classroom activities among the learners in pre-primary schools in Belgut Sub-County, Kericho County. The study was guided by Abraham Maslow’s theory of the hierarchy of needs, as it stresses the fundamental requirements of basic needs (food), which increases the satisfaction of an individual (learner). The study used a descriptive survey design with a population of 85 pre-primary schools. Headteachers were eighty-five (85) and pre-primary school teachers were one hundred and seventy (170), giving a total of 255 respondents. A sample size of 189 respondents was derived comprising of 70 headteachers and 119 pre-primary school teachers. The study employed stratified random sampling to draw respondents from the target population. The instruments used to collect data were questionnaires and interview schedules for teachers and headteachers respectively. The analysis of the collected data was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Inferential statistics were used to show the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables and was presented in form of correlation analysis. The study findings revealed that children who are consistently provided with meals in school concentrated well in class activities. There existed a significant correlation (p<0.05) between competencies in classroom activities and school feeding programmes. The school feeding programmes enabled learners to actively participate and concentrate on school activities and enhanced competency acquisition. Some of the recommendations were that the county and national government need to fully implement the school feeding programmes and that the sustainability of the programme is vital to increased competency acquisition rate among Pre-Primary school learners.

Multilingualism as a factor of interethnic education in the contemporary Russian cinematography
Authors: Моцаж-Клейндиенст М.
Published: December 2020

В статье предпринята попытка описания основных функций, связанных с введением более чем одного языка в диалогическую речь героев в нескольких современных российских художественных фильмах («Кукушка», «Сестренка», «Норвег», «Айка», «Побег из Москвабада»). Перечисленные киноленты участвовали в программах кинофестивалей в России и за рубежом, в том числе в Польше, где получили зрительские призы и признание критиков. Многоязычие в этих фильмах мотивировано затронутыми темами межэтнических отношений, межкультурных контактов как результата путешествий, миграций, в том числе вынужденных, при попытке покинуть территорию военных действий. Основная функция многоязычия — отразить культурные (в том числе языковые) реалии этнической группы, дать качественную характеристику контактов с другими этносами, ориентированную на открытость, конфликтность, отчуждение героев как членов различных наций. Благодаря режиссерскому приему введения в действие фильма нескольких языков, зрители получают дополнительную информацию о межэтнических отношениях (русские, таджики, киргизы и т. д.) в многонациональной Москве, отношении к трудовым мигрантам и представителям западной культуры. Многоязычие дает дополнительную информацию о социальном статусе героев и их идентичности.

The article attempts to describe the main functions associated with the introduction of more than one language into the dialogic speech of characters in several modern Russian feature films («Cuckoo», «Little sister», «Norveg», «Aika», «Escape from Moskvabad»). These films participated in the programs of film festivals in Russia and abroad, including Poland, where they received audience awards and critical acclaim. Multilingualism in these films is motivated by the themes of inter-ethnic relations, intercultural contacts because of travel, migration, including forced ones, when trying to leave the territory of hostilities. The main function of multilingualism is to reflect the cultural (including linguistic) realities of an ethnic group, to provide a qualitative characteristic of contacts with other ethnic groups, focused on openness, conflict and alienation of heroes as members of different nations. Through the director’s reception of the film in several languages, viewers receive additional information about inter-ethnic relations (Russians, Tajiks, Kirghiz, etc.) in multi-ethnic Moscow, the attitude towards labor migrants and representatives of Western culture.
Multilingualism provides additional information about the social status of the characters and their identity.

Published: December 2020

В статье рассматривается цикл стихов «Европа — Азия», в котором органично слились две культуры: восточная и западная; афористичность мышления, мудрость Востока сочетается с лучшими традициями европейской литературы. В цикле «Европа — Азия» воплощена идея неразрывной связи Европы и Азии, синтеза гармоничности Востока и рационалистичности Запада, единства Башкирии и России. Цикл «Европа — Азия» — это признание поэта в любви к своей «малой» (Башкирии) и «большой» Родине (России), свидетельство его гражданственности и патриотизма. Идею любви к родине, ее многонациональной культуре и всечеловеческому единству, синтеза восточной и западной цивилизаций воплощали в своем творчестве и многие русские писатели, в том числе И.А. Бунин. Идея синтеза Востока и Запада, характерная для русской и национальных литератур, выходит далеко за пределы чисто национальной ментальности.

In article the cycle of verses «Europe — Asia» in which two cultures (Eastern and Western) organically merged is considered; the aphoristic nature of thinking, wisdom of the East is combined with the best traditions of the European literature. It is noted that the idea of indissoluble communication of Europe and Asia, synthesis of harmony of the East and a ratsionality of the West, unity of Bashkiria and Russia are embodied in the cycle «Europe-Asia». The cycle «Europe-Asia» is recognition of the poet in love for «small» (Bashkiria) and the «big» Homeland (Russia) and the evidence of his civic consciousness and patriotism. The idea of love for the country, to its multinational culture and unity common to all mankind, synthesis of Eastern and Western civilizations also many Russian writers including I.A. Bunin embodied in their creativity. The idea of synthesis of the East and West characteristic for the Russian and national literatures, leaves far beyond purely national mentality.
