Published: January 2022

Abstract. Introduction. The current stage of functioning of the world economic system is characterized by the desire to ensure sustainable development, the essence of which lies in the unity of economic, social and environmental components. The most important tool for its implementation at the level of enterprises, companies, firms is the concept of corporate social responsibility. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence and analyze the main directions of introducing social responsibility of the domestic agricultural business, as well as the system of objective and subjective factors that influence it. Results. The features of the implementation of the social responsibility system in the domestic agricultural business as an important component of the further development of agricultural production have been investigated. The necessity of activating the social orientation of the agricultural business in connection with the insufficient development of the social sphere of the village and the presence of significant social problems in rural areas has been determined. The essence of social responsibility of business as a voluntary contribution of entrepreneurial structures in solving problems of social, economic and environmental spheres, which is carried out outside the regulatory requirements, has been substantiated. The need to implement an effective management system using modern innovative tools has been pointed out. It has been proven that most agricultural enterprises focus their activities on ensuring decent working conditions for personnel, cooperation with local communities, and solving environmental problems. The directions of implementation of social responsibility of agricultural companies in Ukraine have been shown. The structure and volumes of social investment of the leading agricultural holdings have been characterized. New ways of doing agribusiness and promising areas of social responsibility in the internal and external environment have been formulated. Conclusions. Expanding the scale and improving the mechanisms of social responsibility, increasing the level of motivation and interest of agribusiness to improve the quality of life of rural residents and the development of rural areas will contribute to the intensification of production and social infrastructure. Ultimately, all this will reveal a significant positive impact on the socio-economic development of the regions and the country as a whole.

Annotation. Introduction. One of the key tasks of the formation of a socially oriented economy is to ensure a high level and quality of life of the population, which implies the satisfaction of the most necessary needs of citizens in comfortable housing, energy, sanitary and technical, transport services, etc. Satisfaction of the above needs is possible only under the condition of the efficient and uninterrupted functioning of utilities, since the main task of the utilities is to provide the population with heat, water, gas, electricity and other services on which the comfort of housing, the state of human health, the constant mode of operation of enterprises, improvement districts, ecological state of settlements. The efficient operation of enterprises of communal ownership largely depends on their financial condition. Therefore, the study of the development and financial support of public utilities, the effectiveness of their activities is relevant, especially in the context of decentralization. Now, the problems of public utilities require much attention, among which their financial condition is significant. Purpose. The purpose of the work is to analyze and study the financial condition of utilities and develop proposals for its improvement. Results. The article considers, analyzes and compares such indicators of the financial condition of utility companies in some cities of Ukraine as: financial results, depreciation of fixed assets, return on assets, absolute liquidity ratio. Factors influencing the financial results of utilities have been identified. The main ways to improve the financial condition of utilities have been identified. Conclusions. According to the results of the analysis of their financial condition, the prevailing loss, high level of depreciation of fixed assets and low capital productivity of most enterprises in this industry have been determined. The reasons for this situation are the lack of effective directions of financial policy in this area, the imperfection of the regulatory framework and miscalculations in the management of financial resources. The current state of this industry gives grounds to talk about the need to improve the effectiveness of its state regulation in order to solve the basic problems of its socio-economic development.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Introduction. Agriculture plays prominent role to supply people with food and industry with raw. The development of this branch depends on as economic conjuncture as nature conditions. Ukraine agriculture have developed in two directions during the period of 1991-2018. After several years of declining this branch has started reviving since 2009. The question is how successful this process is flowing. Various investigations cover analysis of dynamics, structure, correlations between indicators, forecasting and juxtaposing with other economic branches. Studying experience of other economies that had downs, but then accumulated their strengths and made economical leap, is the example for own start in development. What caused the growth and what made countries prosperous? This experience must be studied and implemented by scientists, government, and farmers. Most nowadays successful countries started from revision of existing styles of agricultural management and farm holding. They initiated reforms and adopted laws that had to support development of farms. Some of countries, that have been under influence of Soviet Union's style of management, being independent now are in the category of countries with middle or high world level of income. In contrary, Ukraine during almost thirty years of independence is fighting problems in economic development caused by negative factors including crises. To study features of countries’ growth and eliminate influence of inflation or incomparable indicators on results of analysis it is reasonable to investigate the same indicators for the similar period in determined currency. This article presents comparison results made for Ukraine Poland, Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia despite their size and political preferences. Information for analysis used in this exploration is on the World Bank official site. Data cover the period of 1995-2019 years. Purpose. The main aim of this article is to compare indicators of agriculture development in Ukraine with other countries in order to find how successful and sufficient economic efforts of Ukraine are to raise agriculture sector on the higher level of development. Results. Conducted analysis revealed that other countries compared with Ukraine get bigger value added per worker or per unit of agriculture land. Moreover, they not only feed own country, but also sell their production abroad. Conclusions. Ukraine has the biggest soils squares to plant crops, vegetable, fruit, but it gets the least amount of profit from land usage. Ukraine has positive tendency in agriculture development, but as comparison with other countries proved the existing way of land using or cultivation, farm holding, and agriculture management is insufficient to become a prosperous country. Crop and livestock production need to be investigated deeper.

Tax Incentives as an Instrument of Tax Regulation of Ukraine
Authors:   State Agrarian and Engineering University in Podilya, Savitska Svitlana
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Introduction. In modern economic theory, theoretical discussions constantly arise about the feasibility and effectiveness of tax incentives. Tax incentives, under certain conditions, are an effective tool for supporting national competitiveness and creating a new technological core of any economic system, especially a transformational one. At the same time, the conditions for the effectiveness of the benefits provided are their strict purpose, time constraints and constant comprehensive monitoring. In addition, benefits have a certain psychological effect on business entities and increase the investment activity of enterprises. On the other hand, the ineffective practice of preferential taxation contributes to the formation of significant losses of budgetary resources of the state, which leads to a violation of economic stability, a slowdown in economic development and a decrease in the level of financial security of the state. The above confirms the relevance of the study of the impact of tax incentives on the formation of budget revenues, as well as the search for ways to optimize preferential taxation in Ukraine. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to summarize the theoretical aspects of the use of tax incentives as an instrument of tax regulation and to study the effect of preferential taxation on the formation of budget revenues in Ukraine. Results. The theoretical foundations of the functioning of tax incentives are considered. Approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "tax incentive" are generalized and its economic essence is revealed. The advantages and disadvantages of tax incentives, the rights of taxpayers to use tax incentives have been identified. The types of tax benefits in terms of direct taxes have been investigated and systematized. The analysis of losses of the state and local budgets from the provision of tax incentives has been carried out. The main sectors of the economy have been identified and analyzed, where more tax benefits are directed. Conclusions.It was found that the system of providing tax incentives in Ukraine is ineffective. Therefore, there is no doubt about the need to reduce the volume of tax benefits provided to business entities, mainly on non-transparent principles and lead to large-scale budget losses. Tax breaks are not directed to those industries that really need support, but to those that are lobbied in parliament. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a clear mechanism for the provision of tax benefits, their monitoring, control of losses and benefits of each benefit. Proposals have been developed to improve the system of granting tax benefits and to strengthen control over their development.

Re-Print- Artificial Respiration in Severe COVID-19 Cases: A Beneficial or Deleterious Treatment
Authors: E. Müller Kurt
Published: January 2022

The world over artificial respiration is employed as one of the intensive care treatment measures in severe cases of COVID-19 because of the significant respiratory distress patients develop. Nevertheless, the outcome is poor. Lethality varies from country to country and clinic to clinic between 50% and 90%. So the question arises as to whether the use of oxygen can be a risk factor in the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases in general and of COVID-19 in particular. Oxidative stress is the first and oldest step of cellular defense and starts before the activation of the immune system. This leads to an increase of intracellular oxygen in the mitochondria, followed by an elevated electron flow and the formation of superoxide as well as other reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. Superoxide reacts with nitric oxide, which is always present in inflammation, forming peroxynitrite, the strongest inducer of oxidative stress. This step induces the activation of nuclear factor kB, followed by the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The elevated levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase keep this cycle running. High amounts of superoxide have to be compensated and catabolized by manganese-superoxide dismutase 2 into hydrogen peroxide and in a second step by catalase into water. When using artificial respiration, these steps are accelerated considerably in the inflamed tissue of the lung, leading to a significant increase of the electron flow as well as an elevation of superoxide, oxidative stress, and water. As SARS-CoV-2 generally induces the production of proteins (and not only those necessary for viral reproduction), the water will remain in the tissue, causing edema and thus a wet lung syndrome associated with a growing oxygen diffusion distance to red blood cells. Ultimately, patients do not suffocate in spite of, but because of, the presence of high levels of oxygen. The limited number of patients who survive this deleterious treatment describe it as having had a sensation of drowning. The reasons will be discussed.
The Not So Obvious Impact of COVID 19: The Hidden “Curriculum”
Authors: Lateef Fatimah
Published: January 2022

The last two years of the Covid 19 pandemic has certainly brought on and inculcated a variety of changes, new practices, innovative approaches and altered mindsets. Some of these were intended, planned and incorporated into pathways and practices. There were many lessons and new experiences. Without our complete realization, there were also many less obvious lessons: the hidden curriculum. This refers to the unwritten, unspoken, unplanned and less obvious values, behaviour and norms practised or experienced during the pandemic. The hidden curriculum is conveyed and communicated without our direct awareness and intent. The hidden curriculum will certainly contribute towards healthcare staff resilience, handling of stressors, decisions on utilization of resources and patient care. Not to be forgotten, it will also impact how they develop friendships, partnerships, collaborations, negotiate their self-development and strengthen their sense of purpose and challenge assumptions. In this paper, the author, who worked at the frontline during the pandemic shares some of her views on the new healthcare landscape, mindset changes, technology adoption, psychological safety and the meaning of ‘staying home’. They represent her views, coloured by her experiences as an emergency physician, a medical educator, academic medicine practitioner and researcher.

Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus have an important role in DHF transmission because they can simultaneously transmit the dengue virus vertically / transovarially or horizontally. This phenomenon indicates the persistence of the dengue virus by vectors. The aim of this research was to prove the persistence of the transovarial-transgenerational dengue virus (DENV-1,2,3,4) with real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae). Quasi experimental design with intervention infects DENV 1-2-3-4 serotypes in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus intratoracally. Research population Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus laboratory colony females. Dengue virus detection uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Transovarial detection by qPCR indicates detection of dengue virus in Ae. albopictus DENV-1 to progeny 1 (F1), DENV-2 and DENV-3 to F2, DENV-4 to F3. Next to Ae. aegypti DENV-1 to 1st progeny (F1), DENV-2 to F2, DENV-3 to F4 and DENV-4 to F3. there was no difference in MIR value (p value: 0.356) for the four serotypes in Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. DENV-3 is the most persistent serotype in Ae. aegypti with 83.3% MIR and DENV-4 were the most persistent serotypes in Ae.albopictus with 100% MIR. The need to improve vector control models that focus not only on the main vector, but also other co-vectors.

It has been established that the most commonly used types of contraception, in all age categories, are: interrupted intercourse, spermicides, barrier contraception (male condoms), hormonal patches. The most rarely used are hormonal contraception (single-phase and three-phase combined oral contraceptives) and intrauterine contraception. It has been established that the choice of a particular type of contraception among athletes is determined by such leading factors as sexual activity, frequency of sexual contacts, the number of sexual partners, the presence or absence of a family and marriage.
Ubiquitous Usage of Over the Counter Medications in Pregnancy: Perspectives of Maternal Apprehensiveness
Authors: Bereda Gudisa
Published: January 2022

The World Health Organization delineates self-medication as the utilization of medications by individuals in search of treating symptoms or self-diagnosed health state. During pregnancy, drug utilization is complicated because of incomplete data as clinical trials frequently don't enclose pregnant women, with reference to benefits and implicit undesirable outcomes on both the mother and the foetus. Bestowed limited data on the variety of over the counter medications applicable, physi­cians seek to counsel pregnant women about implicit pitfalls, and it is beneficial to give information on entire over the counter medications the patient is receiving at the preconception visit and entire distinctive ordinary visits. Antacid that containing sodium bicarbonate can cause fluid buildup in the tissues if used during pregnancy redundantly. Hypericum perforatum is ordinarily not recommended in preg­nancy because of a dearth of human data and it perhaps antecedent miscarriage and it also escalates the birth deformities of fetus. Early aspirinusage at the time of conception or in the 1st several weeks of pregnancy does not escalate the pitfall of spontaneous abortion.

Hence, the aim of this study is to assess the level and factors associated with professional commitment among institutional delivery services providers at public health facilities in Shone District, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted at primary level public health facilities in Shone District. All health facilities (one primary hospital and 7 health centers) were included in the study. Five hundred three study participants who fulfilled inclusion criteria in proportion to obstetric care providers in each public health facilities were selected by applying simple random sampling method. Self-administered Likert scale type of questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to see the association between dependent and explanatory variables. Results: The magnitude of professional commitment for obstetric care providers working in public health facilities of Shone district was 69.4%. In this study, those who worked at hospital, those who had positive attitude toward organizational commitment, and those who had positive attitude toward personal characteristics were 2.4, 2.3 and 1.76 times more likely committed to profession compared with their counterparts respectively. Conclusion: The professional commitment among institutional delivery service provision was medium as compared to other study finding. All health professional should manage their own personal characteristics to behave in good way to be committed for their profession. Organizational commitment had great influence on professional commitment.

Published: January 2022

Background: Pollution induced allergic rhinitis and respiratory symptoms is becoming a major health problem in the world for which still there is no safe and preventive treatment. Objectives: Conceive and evaluate the allergen preventive properties and clinical efficacy of an osmotic, polymeric, stable filmogen spray, called PCNS. Materials and Methods: Amb A 1 (ragweed), Der P 1 and 2 (dust mite), Bet v 1 (birch), Alt a 1 (Alternaria, fungus), and Fel d 1 (cat dander) allergens were exposed at a concentration of 5µg/ml (20 µl per tube) on the polymeric test product film (120 and 240µl layer) and the allergens crossing the barrier were quantified in the agar gel beneath the film. 0.40% HPMC and PBS solutions, tested identically, served as controls. Clinical efficacy of PCNS nasal spray was evaluated in patients suffering from allergic rhinitis and/or respiratory symptoms (29 in test product v/s 15 in saline controls) for 22 days. Nasal, ocular, respiratory symptoms and Rhino conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) were measured. Statistical analyses: The normality of the populations was determined by the Shapiro-Wilk test, then statistical analysis was performed by two-tailed Student’s test for comparisons between two groups and the two-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Bonferroni’s test for comparisons of multiple groups. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The analyses were performed with the software GraphPad Prism (version 8.4.2, La Jolla, USA). NS indicates not significant. Results: PCNS polymeric spray blocked the diffusion of all the allergens while 0.40% HPMC was able to prevent diffusion of only Alt a 1 and Fel d 1 allergens. Mean reflective total nasal symptom scores (rTNSS), reflective total ocular symptom score (rTOSS), and respiratory symptoms including effect on wheezing, cough, dyspnea, and chest tightness were moderately improved in the control saline group, but the improvements were nearly twice better in the PCNS group. RQLQ was improved by 23% in saline spray v/s 46% PCNS group. 4/15 patients in saline group v/s 1/29 in PCNS group required rescue medication during the study. PCNS was highly effective in reducing allergen and pollution induced respiratory symptoms. Conclusion: a polymeric, osmotic, and stable nasal barrier against pollutants and allergens represents an innovative approach against pollution induced respiratory symptoms.

Intestinal lymphangiesctasia (IL) is a rare disease characterized by the dilation of intestinal lymphatics. It can be classified as primary or secondary depending on the underlying etiology. Usually seen in childhood or adolescence, chronic diarrhea and diffuse edema are the main clinical manifestations of the disease. True lymphoedemas can also be present and affect the lower and upper limbs, they are concomitant with the diagnosis or occur during the course. The diagnosis is based on the visualization of duodenal lymphangiesctasia. The primitive nature of the disease being affirmed by the elimination of the diseases causing secondary lymphangiectasias. Treatment is based on a strict hypo lipid diet enriched with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). We present through this work the observation of a 12-month-old infant who presented with primary intestinal lymphangiesctasia revealed by chronic diarrhea with lymphoedema of the left upper limb.

Comment renforcer l’influence des juridictions financières françaises dans l’ordre international ?
Authors: Frentz Rémi
Published: January 2022

Pourquoi les juridictions financières françaises ont-elle un rôle à l’échelle internationale ? De par l’histoire, pour contribuer au rayonnement de la France et de son modèle d’institution supérieure de contrôle, pour enrichir leurs propres travaux d’exemples étrangers et aider leurs homologues étrangers, enfin pour renforcer la qualité des audits des organisations internationales. Les principaux moyens employés sont la coopération bilatérale avec des Institutions de même maturité ou moins avancées, la coopération multilatérale dans des enceintes mondiales, européennes ou francophones, et les mandats de commissariats aux comptes d’organisations internationales dont la France est membre. Dans tous ces domaines, l’action de la Cour s’est nettement renforcée ces dernières années, mais de nouvelles ambitions sont nées, en particulier avec les jumelages lancés avec les Cours algérienne ou sénégalaise, et avec le mandat d’audit externe de l’ONU obtenu en novembre 2021, qui engagera les forces vives de la Cour et des Chambres régionales et territoriales des comptes.

Parce que les politiques européennes s’exécutent majoritairement en gestion partagée au sein des États membres, et que plusieurs d’entre elles traitent des enjeux qui dépassent le périmètre national, la coopération entre la Cour des comptes européenne, chargée du contrôle du budget de l’Union, et les institutions supérieures de contrôle nationales, est nécessaire. Cette coopération, prévue par le Traité, prend des formes diverses qui doivent toutefois respecter l’indépendance de chaque institution,.

Entre la Cour des comptes européenne et la Cour des comptes française, les échanges professionnels sont nombreux et féconds, peu formalisés et orientés vers les enjeux majeurs du contrôle des politiques européennes dans les années à venir : environnement, énergie, gouvernance économique et financière, relance post-Covid.

Le Government Accountability Office (GAO) aux États-Unis et le National Audit Office (NAO) au Royaume-Uni se rapprochent du modèle de la Cour des comptes françaises par leurs missions : s’assurer, en toute indépendance, du bon emploi de l’argent public. Ils s’en éloignent en revanche parce que les deux institutions ont fait ce travail, selon les époques, au profit soit du législatif soit de l’exécutif.
Pouvoir juridictionnel et de sanction des juridictions financières, approche comparée
Authors: Damarey Stéphanie

Le modèle juridictionnel européen d’engagement de la responsabilité des gestionnaires publics repose sur un modèle unifié au sein duquel chacun des acteurs de l’exécution budgétaire va répondre des fautes graves qu’il a commises. Un modèle qui s’applique à l’ensemble des acteurs de cette exécution budgétaire, ce qui inclus les élus ainsi que les ministres. Ces caractéristiques ne sont pas celles du modèle traditionnel d’engagement de la responsabilité des gestionnaires publics en France mais pourraient le devenir, pour certaines d’entre elles, avec le projet d’ordonnance envisagé par le gouvernement.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate how can we predict success in poor responder patients in terms of pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Material and method: This study is a review of the newest papers that have in the center the poor responders undergoing treatment involving assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Outcomes: The results show that the most reliable factors when counseling a poor responder patient are age and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level. Conclusions: The most important factors that influence pregnancy rate are age and ovarian reserve, but other factors such as male pathology and laboratory techniques must be studied deeper.

Background: Mucormycosis is an uncommon fungal infection with high morbidity and mortality. There had been a sudden surge in the cases of mucormycosis during the second wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in India. Objective: The etiology, pathophysiology, and correlations of mucormycosis at tertiary hospital in India is explored in the present study. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, all coronavirus disease associated mucormycosis (CAM) cases admitted at this center between April 2021 to June 2021 were included. The cases were evaluated in terms of their background, most common presentations, chief underlying etiologies, severity of disease, comorbidities, investigation profiles, prognosis, and treatment provided. Results: Among the total 231 cases reported with mucormycosis, age group of 40 - 50 years (28%) was the most afflicted and the 20 30 year was the least. Men (68%) were more afflicted than Women. 66% patients had a history of vaccination against COVID-19. 63% patients presented with a High-Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT) score of 9-16. 60% required oxygen support and 71% required steroids. Diabetes mellitus was the most prevalent comorbidity. Conclusion: The salience of the second inferno wave of COVID-19 was witness to COVID-19 patients who had pre existing diabetes mellitus. Individuals with diabetes in general foster more extreme COVID-19 infections and end up using corticosteroids. In any case, the corticosteroids – alongside diabetes – increment the danger of getting mucormycosis. The specific pathophysiology of COVID-19 may represent co-morbidity with Invasive Fungal diseases (IFI).

Injuries to the upper limb may determine unexpected simple or complex soft tissue defects, due to different types of underlying injury mechanism, clean cut/stabs, crushing, torsion, avulsion or mixed types, which pose a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Ideally, all arterial, venous and nervous lesions, in the distal upper limb should be repaired in an end-to-end technique, outside of injury zones, with healthy ends, in a tension free manner. However, situations arise where, either a tension-free repair is not possible, or a considerable defect is met, often representing a challenge to the surgeon. Therefore, a timely decision is imposed in order to find the most favorable approach to restore limb or segment perfusion, ensuring efficient venous return, as well as providing a sensate repair. Usage of vein grafts represents an essential tool comprised in the reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium, with high versatility in nerve, arterial and venous reconstruction. Not only does it provide an ideal solution, with high adaptability to each case, but it also may enhance short- and long-term outcome, offering an optimal reconstructive option in any upper limb trauma situation, regardless of etiology. We aim to describe our therapeutic strategies in a series of challenging trauma cases involving digital structures from the upper limb. Interposed vein grafts were used to re-stablish sensate function in a patient with a collateral digital nerve defect, but also to bridge vital digit arterial defect in a torsion-avulsion thumb amputation, as well as re-establishing venous flow in patients with Urbaniak II finger degloving injury.
