HOW FIRST YEAR ENGINEERING STUDENTS SELECT THEIR SPECIALIZATION AND HOW WE CAN BETTER SUPPORT THEM
Authors: Ostafichuk Peter M. , Jaeger Carol P. , D’Entremont Agnes
Published: August 2018

Abstract This paper explores the student experience of discipline selection, through the perspective of students in a common first year engineering program at the University of British Columbia. It also presents and examines a number of new innovations have been introduced to the UBC curriculum to support students in this regard. In general, there is limited information in the literature about how and when engineering students decide on their specific engineering discipline. What seems to be clear though is that many, if not most, students come into common first year engineering programs with a good idea (if not a decision) of what their specialization will be. In addition, short-term factors (such as courses and program experiences) dominate decision-making rather than long-term factors (such as career potential).  The innovations we have introduced include program introduction videos, various online tools and resources, coordinated in-class presentations, program fairs, and more. Through a number of surveys to different cohorts of engineering students at UBC, several clear and encouraging trends have emerged. Most of our students report feeling well-prepared to choose their discipline by the end of first year; most students are not choosing their discipline until Term 2, after they have received information and presentations from all programs (having this time to gather information and decide is a key motivation behind a common first year); and most students report finding the new resources we are providing (online materials and tools, videos, Program Fairs, etc.) useful in their decision-making. Consistent with the literature, short-term considerations appear to dominate our students’ decision-making, although there are indications that longer-term career considerations are also starting to influence their information gathering. Having opportunities to speak to current and former students in a discipline was cited by our students as the most important information source in their decision-making. Also important was information provided by programs, both within our coordinated introduction to engineering course, and through websites and other program materials.
Correlation Energies of Many-Electron Ensembles Are More than the Sum of Their Parts
Authors: Gould Tim , Pittalis Stefano
Published: August 2018

Density functional theory can be extended to excited states by means of a unified variational approach for passive state ensembles. This extension overcomes the restriction of the typical density functional approach to ground states, and offers useful formal and demonstrated practical benefits. The correlation energy functional in the generalized case acquires higher complexity than its ground state counterpart, however. Little is known about its internal structure nor how to effectively approximate it in general. Here we demonstrate that such a functional can be broken down into natural components, including what we call "state-" and "density-driven" correlations, with the latter being a unique feature of ensembles. Such a decomposition, summarised in eq. (10), is exact and also provides us with a pathway to general approximations.
LEGAL PROTECTION RELATED TO THE DENSITY RIGHTS IN TERMS OF REWARDED IN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
Authors: Faradina Lily , Indrayanti Kadek Wiwik
Published: August 2018

The rights of prisoners have been explicitly regulated in Act No.12 of 1995 on Corrections. The law therein outlines 13 (thirteen) rights reserved for a prisoner while in a Penitentiary. The right to get a wage or premium for the work done is a right that is often neglected in practice in the correctional institution located in our country. This happens because of the stigma of the people who still tend to assume that a prisoner is a party that deserves to be treated arbitrarily because of the crime he has committed. It is this kind of thinking that ultimately also affects officials or prison officers who end up treating incendiary people like humans who are unfit to accept the rights that have been provided by the state. Many inmates are employed in penitentiaries who are not paid for by their employers. If this continues to be done then the purpose of punishment will actually violate human rights inherent in the Prisoners as human beings. However, prisoners must also be protected by their rights as human beings.

A QUADRATURA DO CÍRCULO: MÍNIMOS SOCIAIS, DIGNIDADE HUMANA E DIREITOS ADQUIRIDOS NA HIPERMODERNIDADE
Authors: Ribeiro Lima Raimundo Márcio
Published: August 2018

O artigo discute os limites da perspectiva normativa dos direitos sociais, especialmente a partir da compreensão normativa do princípio da dignidade humana, denunciando sua inutilidade, na maioria dos casos, para solucionar a problemática dos direitos sociais, pois ela exige o equacionamento de importantes variáveis extrajurídicas, sobretudo, políticas e econômicas. Discute-se também a questão do mínimo social como uma teoria objetivista e não minimalista da exigibilidade dos direitos, destacando a importância de uma atuação prioritária da ação pública. Por fim, critica a teoria imunizadora dos direitos, porquanto pode servir mais para defender privilégios odiosos que promover justiça social, sobretudo, quando a revisibilidade do atual regime previdenciário é impostergável.

Educação a distância e democratização do ensino superior: discussão à luz do pensamento de Dewey
Authors: Gomes de Souza Wanderson , Augusto dos Santos Gomes Celso , De Paula Teodoro Moreira Simone , Messias Moreira Alessandro
Published: August 2018

Os textos de Dewey (1859-1952) apontam que o acesso à educação é uma das formas de tornar o indivíduo capaz de resolver problemas e atingir sua plenitude social. No Brasil, entre os grandes desafios da sociedade atual, está o de possibilitar o acesso ao ensino superior de uma forma mais justa e igualitária. Num cenário de constante mudança e com avanços tecnológicos de magnitudes nunca vistas anteriormente, a educação a distância (EAD) surge como uma possibilidade de acesso à educação. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste texto é discutir se a educação a distância é uma possibilidade de democratização do acesso ao ensino superior tendo o pensamento de John Dewey como referência para o que é democracia e sua influência na educação, na vida das pessoas e na sociedade de uma forma geral. Conclui-se que, dada a realidade e as necessidades do país, pode-se considerar a educação a distância como uma possibilidade real para uma ampla democratização do ensino superior.
Rethinking neo-Salafism through an Emerging Fiqh of Citizenship: The Changing Status of Minorities in the Discourse of Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the ‘School of the Middle Way’
Authors: Warren David H. , Gilmore Christine
Published: August 2018

This quick study will trace on-going evolutions in the thought of the Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and his “School of the Middle Way” or al-Madrasa al-Wasaṭiyya over the period 1985 to 2010. While al-Qaradawi’s early work on the citizenship status of non-Muslims was neo-traditionalist in that it advocated retaining the dhimma system, a minority citizenship model based on differential rights and responsibilities which emphasises communal autonomy for minorities within a sharīʿa regime for the Muslim majority, we will show that he has since moved away from this position and is actively engaged in the process of developing an innovative and inclusive theory of “Islamic Citizenship” that endows non-Muslims with equal civil and political rights and responsibilities.

Applying Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework in the Establishment of Law No.13 of 2012 Concerning the Privilege of Yogyakarta Special Region
Authors: Widyatama Bastian
Published: August 2018

Kingdon’s Multiple Streams, a framework to analyze agenda-setting process is widely considered as a ‘universal’ theoretical framework because of its flexibility to be applied. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the validity of this ‘universal’ term. By using the case of the establishment of Law No.13 of 2012 concerning the Privilege of Yogyakarta Special Region, this research aims to apply and examine the Kingdon’s framework. The research has been done by using the qualitative method. Interviewing key persons and interpreting written documents are main techniques in data collection process. As the result, this framework remains applicable in the Yogyakarta case. There are 3 factors that brought Yogyakarta issues into the central government’s agenda encompass problem, policy, and politics. Politics is the most dominant factor indicated by Yogyakartans strong political movement and Sultanate of Yogyakarta’s political approach. In addition, Sultanate of Yogyakarta can also be discussed as a policy entrepreneur. As the conclusion, this research has a significant contribution to Kingdon’s multiple streams framework which is still able to explain social phenomena in policy making studies although there are some concerns that need to be explored further, particularly regarding the role of media and policy entrepreneur. Keywords: Agenda setting, policy, Law No.13 of 2012, Sultanate of Yogyakarta

Predicting Time to Reclassification for English Learners: A Joint Modeling Approach
Authors: Matta Tyler H. , Soland James
Published: August 2018

The development of academic English proficiency and the time it takes to reclassify to fluent English proficient status are key issues in English learner (EL) policy. This article develops a shared random effects model (SREM) to estimate English proficiency development and time to reclassification simultaneously, treating student-specific random effects as latent covariates in the time to reclassification model. Using data from a large Arizona school district, the SREM resulted in predictions of time to reclassification that were 93% accurate compared to 85% accuracy from a conventional discrete-time hazard model used in prior literature. The findings suggest that information about English-language development is critical for accurately predicting the grade an EL will reclassify.

Published: August 2018

Resumen

Objetivo. Mostrar nuestra experiencia realizando la paratiroidectomía miniinvasiva video-asistida con abordaje central para el tratamiento de pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario, sin utilizar el monitoreo intraoperatorio de paratohormona (mipth), basados únicamente en la concordancia de dos estudios de localización preoperatorios.

Material y métodos. Se seleccionaron 27 pacientes con diagnóstico de hiperparatiroidismo primario, a los cuales se les realizó previo su consentimiento para la realización de un abordaje miniinvasivo, una ecografía cervical y una centellografía sesta-MIBI como estudios de localización pre-operatorios, los cuales fueron concordantes en todo ellos. Ninguno presentó antecedentes familiares que hicieran sospechar una neoplasia endócrina múltiple (NEM), enfermedad tiroidea conocida, cervicotomía previa, ni sospecha de carcinoma. La cirugía se realizó a través de una incisión cervical central de 1,5 cm. con el empleo del bisturí harmónico. El mipth no se realizó en ninguno de los casos.

Resultados. En todos los casos se confirmó la ubicación topográfica del adenoma. No registramos persistencias del hiperparatiroidismo ni recidivas después de un período de seguimiento de 42 meses. No hubo lesiones recurrenciales. El  tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 24,5 minutos y todos los pacientes se fueron de alta antes de las 24 horas. El requerimiento analgésico fue mínimo, y el resultado estético satisfactorio.

Conclusión: La exploración unilateral miniinvasiva de las paratiroides con magnificación videoasistida sin mipth, bajo la guía de dos estudios de localización concordantes, es un procedimiento seguro y factible, con resultados comparables a los de la técnica estándar y con ventajas en lo estético, menor dolor postoperatorio y hospitalización reducida.

Rushing towards virtue: time pressure increases socially desirable responding
Authors: Protzko John , Zedelius Claire Marie , Schooler Jonathan
Published: August 2018

The oldest method in psychology of trying to gain access to one part of a divided mind is to instruct participants to answer quickly. Here we propose an alternative account for this procedure, namely, that it makes people give the socially desirable response. We randomly assigned 1,500 Americans to answer a social desirability scale either quickly or slowly. We use an intention-to-treat analysis to test the effects quick vs. slow responding on social desirability. We show quick responding causes an increase in social desirability. We propose that a number of findings using the fast/slow responding manipulation can be partially or entirely explained by participants’ giving the socially desirable response. Future investigations using the time pressure manipulation should account for social desirability to ensure the results are not entirely driven by this mechanism.

Published: August 2018

An experiment was conducted at the Animal Science Farm, Tuntungin, Putho of the Institute of Animal Science, University of the Philippines, Los Banos, College, Laguna, Philippines, during 2001-2002. Ninety 24-weeks old individually caged pullets were used in this study. Five treatments were randomly assigned to the 90 pullets following a completely randomized design. Each treatment was replicated 18 times with one pullet each. The dietary treatments were: basal diet (18% CP and 2800 kcal /kg, ME) reduced (red). CP diet (17% CP and 2800 kcal /kg, ME), red CP diet + 0.05% protease, red CP diet + 0.075% protease and red CP diet + 0.10% protease. Apparent digestibility of each nutrient in relation to egg production, egg weight, feed consumption, feed efficiency, body weight gain, shell thickness and yolk pigmentation, mortality, and income over feed cost were calculated All the data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using the general linear model (GLM) procedure of the SAS Institute (1988). One percent reduction of crude protein of diet of pullet significantly decreased the digestibility of all nutrients. Feed efficiency was significantly improved with 0.1% protease, while eggshell thickness was significantly improved with 0.075% protease supplementation of diets. Income over feed cost increased with dietary supplementation of protease. Increased level of protease supplementation of reduced CP diets consistently improved the digestibility of nutrients, overall average egg production and decreased feed consumption. Egg weight and feed efficiency were slightly improved with 0.075% and 0.1% protease supplementation of diet. Eggshell thickness was significantly improved with 0.075% protease Yolk color was not significantly influenced by increased protease supplementation of the diet. Income over feed cost was consistently increased with protease supplementation. It was concluded and recommended that crude protein of layer diets could be reduced by 1% provided that they are supplemented with protease, optimum level of inclusion of protease is 0.1% for layers and enzyme activity need to be accurately determined before it is used.

Authors: Devkota KH
Published: August 2018

A survey study was conducted to study the benefit-cost analysis of apiculture enterprise in Jutpani VDC, Chitwan district. Data were collected by interviewing randomly selected 18 beekeepers for sample survey. Benefit : Cost (BC) ratio of apiculture was computed by including and excluding the revenue obtained from colony selling. Only 61.11% of beekeepers sold bee colonies for earning income. The study revealed that BC ratios of apiculture were 2.41 and 1.58 in the case of inclusion and exclusion of the income received from the colony selling, respectively. It showed that apiculture industry was running in profit in both cases. In the former case, the BC ratio ranged from 0.97 to 6.22 and about 88.88% beekeepers were in profit. The BC ratio in the later case ranged from 0.43 to 3.41 and about 77.77% beekeepers were in profit. The number of colonies ranged from 2 to 54 with an average of 21.33 colonies per bee farm. In the former case, average annual income was Rs. 70758.33 (US$ 969.29 approximately) per farm and Rs. 49588.31 (US$ 679.29 approximately) in the later case. Likewise, the average income per colony per annum was Rs. 3317.31 (US$ 45.44) and Rs. 1777.65 (US$ 24.35 approximately) in the former and later case, respectively.

Response of Cotton Varieties to the Stage of Topping under Rainfed Condition of Bardiya, Nepal
Authors: Basnet KB
Published: August 2018

A field experiment was conducted to study the impact of topping at different growth stages (3-4, 6-7, 9-10 and 12-13 sympodial branches) on productivity of two (Tamcot SP-37 and H-777) cotton varieties under rainfed condition at the Kumbher Farm (Bardiya district) of Cotton Development Board in 1995. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. The interaction effect between variety and stages of topping showed that significantly higher yield (1.23 t/ha) was produced by topping plants at the stage of 12-13 sympodial banches of the variety Tamcot SP-37 as compared to all other treatments. At all stages of topping the yield produced by Tamcot SP-37 was significantly higher than H-777. The average seed cotton yield (1.03 t/ha) of Tamcot SP-37 was significantly higher than that of H- 777 (0.71 t/ha) and the difference in yield was 45.0%. The seed-cotton yield increased from 0.75 to 1.00 t/ ha with the postponed of topping from 3-4 to 12-13 sympodial branches, but significant difference was recorded between late (12-13 sympodial branches) and early (3-4 and 6-7 sympodial branches) stages of topping. Thus, for rainfed condition of Bardiya Tamcot SP-37 was a suitable variety with 12-13 sympodial branches as an appropriate stage of topping for sustainable production of cotton.

Published: August 2018

Vermicompost production technology uses half decomposed organic wastes to feed earthworms which produces nutrient enriched compost. Vermicompost production supports both organic waste management as well as organic farming. A research was conducted with the aim to assess the production and marketing aspect of vermicompost in Chitwan district during the year 2013. Interview schedule was used to collect information from all the 32 vermicompost producers within the study area and 32 adjacent non-producers were selected through snowball sampling. The total respondents' size was 64. The non-producers were farmers with few of them vermicompost users. Training on vermicompost production, group membership and type of farming were the significant factors affecting adoption of vermicompost production technology whereas the volume of earthworm reared and labor use were the significant factors affecting total income from vermicompost production. Resource use efficiency revealed that volume of earthworm reared and material cost were being over utilized but the labor use was underutilized. The volume of earthworm reared and labor use was to be increased by 300 % and 1.48 % respectively to obtain optimum economic advantage.Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.

Published: August 2018

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy block of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur to evaluate chlorophyll content of 20 drought tolerant wheat genotypes as a parameter of stay green character and spot blotch response. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications, considering 25 November as normal sowing and 15 December as late sowing dates. Of the tested genotypes, Aditya had highest SPAD value (46.67) with least AUDPC (146) on flag leaf on 25 November sowing and higher SPAD value (43.57) with lower AUDPC (161) on 15 December sowing. Similarly, CSISA DRYT 5204 and CSISA DRYT 5205 had moderate SPAD values with AUDPC value at par with Aditya. Aditya with low AUDPC possessed longer stay green days (118.3) on 25 November sowing and shorter green days (107.5) on 15 December sowing. The susceptible check variety RR-21 possessed shorter stay green days (113.6) with SPAD value (35.7) on 25 November sowing and 100.4 days of stay green with SPAD value (31.23) on 15 December sowing. Aditya also had highest grain yields and thousand kernel weights on both the 25 November and 15 December sowing. The results showed Aditya, CSISA DRYT 5204 and CSISA DYRT 5205 were having longer period of stay green with higher SPAD and low AUDPC values and thus these three genotypes can be recommended for late sown conditions. Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.

A survey research was carried out in 2008 in Kavrepalanchok, Sindhupalchok, Gulmi, Palpa and Syangja districts and Kathmandu valley to analyze the factors affecting coffee production and analyze the present marketing systems of coffee. One coffee producers’ group from each district was selected. All coffee growers of these selected groups were taken as sample. Altogether, 132 coffee growers were interviewed. For marketing information, 4 processors and traders were also interviewed. Manure, organic solution and labor were using for coffee production. The average variable cost of production was maximum in Syangja, which was Rs 85604.83 per ha. Gross margin and benefit cost ratio of coffee production were maximum in Syangja, which were Rs 176173.57 per ha and 2.71, respectively. The number of productive plant was the significant factor affecting production in Kavrepalanchok, Sindhupalchok, Palpa and Syangja. Labor was the significant factor affecting production in Sindhupalchok, Gulmi, Palpa and Syangja. Marketing margin was Rs 52.88 and Rs 50.46 per kg of fresh cherry in the form of roasted bean and ground coffee, respectively. Producers’ share of fresh cherry after processed to roasted bean and ground coffee was 32.96 percent and 34.00 percent, respectively.Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.

In order to determine the abundance of insect flower visitors in growing crop of eggplant, Solanum melongena L., a field experiment was conducted in Khumaltar, Laliptur during summer-rainy season of 2012 to 2014. The insect flower visitors were monitored weekly by end-to-end walk method using sweep net at different time of the day, viz. 7-8 am, 12-1 pm and 4-5 pm. Then collected insects were identified using the reference insects/books available in Insect Museum of Entomology Division, NARC, Khumaltar. This study revealed that Hymenopteran were found to be the most dominant (90.75%) flower visitors; followed by Lepidopteran insects (9.25%). Among the identified insect species, Bombus sp. (60.22%) was the most frequently collected bees as flower visitor of eggplant followed by Apis mellifera L., A. cerana F., Syntomis sp. in all three years of field study. Other flower visitors, such as Anthophora sp., Andrena sp. and Halictus sp. were also found visiting the eggplant flower but their occurrence was minimal. Significantly (p<0.05) higher number of insects visited the eggplant flowers at 7-8 am (58.48%) followed by those visiting during 4-5 pm (28.97%) and 12-1 pm (12.54%), respectively. For adequate pollination and healthy production of eggplant, conservation and utilization of flower visitors and their role in pollination is imperative. Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.

A study was conducted during June to September, 2012, in the field at National Maize Research Program, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal with the objective of screening 20 maize genotypes against southern leaf blight caused by Bipolaris maydis. Experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Disease scoring was done as percentage of leaf area infected on individual plant at 7 days intervals starting from 50 days after sowing, for 6 times, and disease severity and mean AUDPC were calculated and yield recorded. Among the tested genotypes, there was variation in disease severity and mean AUDPC values. Disease severity was maximum on Yellow Popcorn (51.67%) and least on RML-32/RML-17 (7.27%). Based on mean AUDPC values, RML-32/RML-17 (20.53) appeared most resistant, followed by RML-4/NML-2 (23.66) and RML-4/RML-17 (25.90), while Yellow Popcorn (136.9) was found the most susceptible. Highest grain yield (4.90 t/ha) was also recorded on RML-32/RML-17 and least (2.49 t/ha) on Yellow Popcorn. Therefore the genotypes RML-32/RML-17, RML-4/NML-2 and RML-4/RML-17 could be used as the resistant varieties and source of resistance to southern leaf blight for varietal development of maize.Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.Vol. 33-34, 2015, Page: 115-122

This article tries to unpack a theme deals with syirik written in the manuscript of Al-Adawiyatu al-Syafiyatu fi Bayani Salati al-Hajati wa al-Istikharati wa Daf’i al- Kurbat, a Sundanese text in the pegon scripts. This lithographic text was written by KH Ahmad Sanusi (1888-1950 M, a member of BPUKI (Committee for Preparatory Work for Indonesian Independence), established prior to the Indonesian independence in 1945. The text described at the time of being close to  independence proclaimation, there were criminal acts, particularly robbery cases growing significantly at that time. This social problem raised in society resulted in growing a phenomenon of which the people needed solution by consulting to dukun or visiting sacred places with hope of such lost articles would be back to the owners.  In this case, KH Sanusi in his work recommended to the muslim not to do any syirik deeds, but it necessary to do pray sholat hajat or istikharah and increased their doa for it solution.  The text of Adawiyah was written in 1348 H/1929 M which was coincidently happened with phenomenon of ecomic crises in the world. Keywords: al-Adawiyah, syirik, poverty, robbery, economic crises AbstrakArtikel ini mengungkap tema tentang syirik dalam naskah beraksara Pegon dan berbahasa Sunda yang berjudul Al-Adawiyatu al-Syafiyatu fi Bayani Salati al-Hajati wa al-Istikharati wa Daf’i al-Kurbat. Naskah berbentuk litograf ini ditulis oleh K.H. Ahmad Sanusi (1888-1950 M), salah se­orang anggota BPUPKI yang berdiri jelang kemerdekaan Indonesia tahun 1945.

For more precise odontometry, taking into account the individual craniotypologicalfeatures of the patient, mathematical modeling should be used, which will significantlyimprove the quality of the medical diagnostic and treatment process in orthodontics. Thepurpose of the study is to construct and analyze a regression model of computed-tomographic size of molars, depending on the features of cephalometric indices ofpractically healthy men of the Northern and Southern regions of Ukraine. Computed-tomographic study of molars with the following odontometry and cephalometry of 32practically healthy men of the Northern region of Ukraine - residents from Zhytomyr, Kyiv,Chernihiv and Sumy regions and 33 men of the Southern region of Ukraine - residentsfrom Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya regions and Crimea. The construction ofregression models of individual linear sizes of molars, depending on the cephalometricindices, was performed using the statistical software package "Statistica 6.1". As a resultof our research, we have constructed reliable models of linear computed-tomographicsizes of molars of the upper and lower jaws in practically healthy men of the North [3models of mesio-distal dimensions (R2 = 0.576-0.685), to which most often include thelength of the body of the mandible on the right (16.7%), the smallest width of the head,the depth of the nose and the craniotype (by 11.1%); 2 models of vestibular-tonguedimensions (R2 = 0.657 and 0.767), which most often include the transverse arc andthe smallest width of the head (15.4%); 2 models of crown height (R2 = 0.519 and0.557)] and Southern [4 models of mesio-distal dimensions (R2 = 0.508-0.798), whichmost often include the largest head length, average facial width, height of the upperface, physiological face length, width of the lower jaw, nose depth and external eyewidth (8.3%); 6 models of vestibular-tongue dimensions (R2 = 0.504-0.756), whichmost often include external eye width (13.2%), physiological facial length, intercostalwidth and mouth width (10.5%), maximum head width, length and height of the nose (by7.9%), transverse arc, height of the upper face and distance between the nasion andinter-incisive point (by 5.3%); 2 models of crown height (R2 = 0.527 and 0.748), whichmost often include inter-orbital width and mouth width (14.3%)] regions of Ukraine.Thus, in practically healthy men from the Northern and Southern administrative-territorialregions of Ukraine, based on the characteristics of cephalometric indicators, craniotypeand face type, reliable regression models (with determination coefficient R2 greater than0.5) of individual linear computed-tomography sizes of molars of the upper and lowerjaws (out of 40 possible 7 for Northern and 12 for Southern regions of Ukraine).
METHODICAL FEATURES OF FINANCIAL CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THE UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES BY THE EXAMPLE OF THE LYMAN DISTRICT OF THE ODESA REGION
Authors: Shevchenko D.I.
Published: August 2018

The article presents the methodical features of financial capability assessment of the united territorial communities by the example of the Lyman district of the Odesa region. The administrative-territorial reform has been lasting over 2 years, and during this period, 665 united territorial communities is created. In 614 of them the first elections has been designated already, 51 are still in line. 366 communities have first financial results, which can be estimated. The Financial Monitoring Unit of the Central Office of Reforms states in its reports that there is a pattern between population size and financial capability of united territorial community. and the lowest financial capacity indicators are typical for most small communities, except those in which budget-generating enterprises and powerful enterprises of the real sector of the economy are located. But correlation analysis shows that this is not the case. Published statistics shows that there are significant imbalances in the financial capability of emerged communities. In addition, one must understand that those, who are most proactive and developed has united, and they will ultimately receive more preferences from the state than those who will unite latter. The Ministry of Regional Development has developed a methodology for the formation of capable territorial communities, which plays recommended role and does not answer the question of how to implement the association in terms of economic and financial efficiency. The paper contains the analysis of 366 united territorial communities. The importance of taking into account financial capacity to define configurations of the united territorial communities is substantiated. The financial capacity of the three future territorial communities of the Liman district of the Odessa region is determined.
