Authors: Muratov Aleksey , Epifancev Viktor
Published: May 2023

Abstract. In the Amur region the share of soybean in the structure of sown areas has reached 73.7 % over the last decade, the phytosanitary condition of agrocenoses has deteriorated, pesticide load on fields has significantly increased, which causes new ecological risks. Some reduction of this load may be caused by increasing the proportion of grain crops, including triticale. The purpose of the study was to establish the effective sowing date of spring triticale varieties providing optimal photosynthetic activity of agrocenoses in the conditions of Amur region. The method of field experiment by B. A. Dospekhov and determination of photosynthetic activity of crops by A. A. Nichyparovich were used. Scientific novelty. The photosynthetic activity of spring triticale varieties at different sowing dates in years with different meteorological conditions has been evaluated. Results. The greatest area of leaf apparatus is formed at sowing in April, 29 reaching maximum values in a phase of flowering in sort Ukro – 37,2 thousand m2/ha, in sort Yarilo – 30,4 thousand m2/ha, in sort Karmen – 33,0 thousand m2/ha. The correlation analysis revealed direct and strong influence of sowing dates on formation of the assimilative apparatus of plants and yield of spring triticale rxy = 0,833. Statistically significant differences were obtained p = 0.016. In the regression equation with increasing leaf area by 1 m2/ha the grain yield of triticale is expected to increase by 0.056 t/ha. Photosynthetic potential of the varieties differed in the years of research and depended on the value of the assimilating surface and the duration of the leaves. A regular decrease in net photosynthetic productivity from early to late sowing was established. The highest value of net photosynthetic productivity was obtained at sowing 15.04 – 2.03 g/m2 per day. The constituent elements of photosynthesis resulted in grain yields of the variety Yarilo – 2.26 t/ha, Ukro – 2.61 t/ha and Karmen – 2.23 t/ha.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to present the result of the breeding work of the wheat breeding laboratory of the Kurgan Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture – branch of Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Ural Federal Agrarian Scientific Research Centre, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences” – a new variety of winter wheat Izaura and to give its economic and biological characteristics. The variety was created by the method of multiple individual-familial selection from a hybrid population of K-85 (a population of hardy forms) / Kurganskaya ozimaya. According to the results of the competitive variety testing, the yield of the variety in 2017 was 4.65 t/ha (+0.29 t/ha to the Omsk winter standard), in the conditions of drought of 2020–2021, 1.10 t/ha (+0.42 t/ha). The maximum yield was obtained in the Orenburg region of 58 kg/ha (2020). When creating a new variety, the task of increasing yields was solved due to higher winter hardiness, resistance to brown rust, powdery mildew and improving baking properties. The advantage of the variety: increased winter hardiness, frost resistance, friendly spring regrowth, resistance to the return of spring cold, high yield and grain quality. During the years of research, the variety was slightly affected by diseases that are widespread in the conditions of the forest–steppe of the Trans-Urals: brown rust – 11 %, powdery mildew – 0.5 points, septoria 0–0.1 %. In terms of grain quality, the new variety is a valuable wheat. The nature was 751 g/l, vitreous – 50 %, protein content in grain – 17.5 %, gluten content in flour – 35.3 % of the second group, flour strength – 367 e. a., bread volume yield – 848 cm3, overall bread score – 3.3 points. Resistant to germination and shedding of grain on the root. The variety is intended for zonal cultivation technology in pairs. According to the results of the state variety testing, since 2022, the Izaura variety has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in the Ural (9) and West Siberian (10) regions, where increases amounted to 0.25 and 0.45 t/ha, respectively. Scientific novelty. A new variety of winter soft wheat has been created, which has advantages over common varieties in the Ural region, in terms of resistance to brown rust, powdery mildew and has increased winter hardiness.

Authors: Rahimova Evgeniya
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Cattle meat is a popular food product for the population of the Northwestern region, while there is a need to increase its production. The use of digital technologies allows small farms to compete with large beef producers. The purpose of this study is to identify the specific features of the development of beef cattle breeding in the North-West in small-scale farms in the conditions of digitalization. Methods. Methods of socio-economic analysis, graphical, computational and analytical methods, and a systematic approach were used in the study. Results. The approaches of agricultural scientists to solving the issue of beef production in small farms are systematized. Various forms of interaction between the owners of these farms, including cooperation, are considered. The graphically organizational scheme of the current agricultural consumer cooperative for fattening cattle is presented, as well as other examples of successful cooperative relationships that can be used in the creation of cooperatives. The features of the Northwestern Federal District that can be used for the development of beef cattle breeding in small-scale farms have been identified. The significant role of peasant (farm) economy (P(F)E) and individual entrepreneurs (IE), as well as households of the population (HP) in beef production in the Northwestern Federal District in 2017–2021 has been clarified. It is established that the recommended rational rate of beef consumption is not provided by its own production in any subject of the Northwestern Federal District and in the Russian Federation as a whole. The key points of digitalization of small-scale farms producing cattle meat are presented graphically in the form of a diagram. The main reasons hindering the introduction of digital technologies in small-scale cattle farms are identified, and ways to accelerate this process are proposed. Scientific novelty. It is revealed that farms of small forms of the Northwestern Federal District have unrealized potential for the cultivation of beef cattle, which can be realized with the availability of a system of state support, the development of partnerships in various forms, including cooperation and the introduction of digital technologies.

En la presente contribución, el relevamiento de la diversidad fúngica entomopatógena asociada a cultivos orgánicos de yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.) permitió identificar los hongos con potencial bioinsecticida de gran importancia para el manejo de plagas en cultivos orgánicos. Para ello se analizaron muestras colectadas de 12 sitios georreferenciados de los yerbales orgánicos certificados del distrito de Bella Vista, Itapúa. Se realizó el aislamiento y caracterización de todas las cepas fúngicas encontradas en muestras de insectos vivos y muertos. Se aplicó la metodología de siembra directa en placa y se analizaron las colonias macro y microscópicamente. Como resultado, y con las condiciones ambientales favorables se pudo aislar el hongo entomopatógeno Beauveria como así también los géneros Alternaria, Rhizopus, Absidia, Mucor, Aspergillus y Fusarium infectando los tejidos de insectos muertos. En todos los sitios de muestreo abundaron los géneros Alternaria, Aspergillus y Fusarium que fueron conservados en cepario para futuros ensayos de patogenicidad. La baja frecuencia en que se encontraron los hongos entomopatógenos pudo deberse a las intensas sequías que acontecieron durante los meses de diciembre/2021 a febrero/2022, afectando drásticamente la presencia de insectos plagas y la de hongos sensibles a los cambios de temperatura y humedad.

Animales de laboratorio criados en diferentes Bioterios muestran variaciones en sus características fisiológicas debido a la dieta, manejo, estado de salud, edad, vías de toma de muestras y otros factores. Por ello la importancia de determinar el perfil bioquímico de ratones y ratas convencionales del Bioterio de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción (FCQ-UNA). En el estudio experimental se utilizaron 60 ratones Swiss y 60 ratas Wistar, machos y hembras, de 11 semanas de edad. Se determinaron distintos parámetros bioquímicos como los perfiles renal, hepático, lipídico y proteico, electrolitos, glicemia y hemoglobina glicosilada. Los animales no fueron expuestos a tratamientos químicos o farmacológicos que pudieran cambiar su estado fisiológico natural. El análisis comparativo de los resultados con los presentados en la literatura, demostraron claramente la existencia de variaciones intra-especie. Las diferencias más notorias se observaron en el perfil hepático; ya que, los niveles de transaminasas séricas de los animales presentaron valores por debajo de la establecida en la bibliografía consultada. Además, claramente se evidenció valores inferiores de glicemia en los animales del Bioterio de la FCQ-UNA comparados con Bioterios de la región. Este estudio estandarizó el perfil bioquímico de ratas y ratones convencionales del Bioterio de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas de la UNA, ofreciendo una herramienta valiosa a los investigadores para el análisis de sus resultados experimentales.

La enfermedad COVID-19 es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por el virus SARS-COV-2, declarada emergencia de salud pública de importancia mundial y la vacunación fue planteada como la mejor herramienta contra esta enfermedad. Como ocurre con cualquier vacuna, algunas personas experimentan efectos secundarios leves o moderados después de vacunarse, por ello en este estudio se determinó la frecuencia de efectos adversos asociados a las vacunas contra la COVID-19 en funcionarios y estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas de la UNA durante el año 2021. Para el trabajo se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal. La población accesible fueron los funcionarios y estudiantes de la FCQ-UNA, de ambos sexos, vacunados con las dos primeras dosis con cualquier vacuna contra la COVID-19, y que hayan accedido a participar del estudio dando su consentimiento informado. La obtención de datos se realizó aplicando una encuesta por Google Forms a la población accesible mediante muestreo no probabilístico de conveniencia por conglomerados. Las variables estudiadas fueron: sexo, edad, enfermedades de base, la clase de la vacuna recibida, las manifestaciones clínicas que presentaron después de la aplicación de las vacunas, y el tiempo de aparición de síntomas. De las 147 personas que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión, el 85% eran del sexo femenino, el 68,7% tenían entre 20 a 29 años. El 60,5% de los participantes recibió la vacuna Pfizer, el 71,4% tenían antecedentes de COVID-19 y el 78,2% no tenía enfermedad de base. El 60,5% de la población de estudio presentó síntomas posteriores a la primera vacunación de COVID-19, y el 61,2% tras la segunda dosis. El tiempo de inicio de síntomas tras la administración de las vacunas fue mayormente entre 8 a 12 horas después de la vacunación tanto para la primera como para la segunda dosis. Se concluye que la mayoría de la población enfocada presentó efectos secundarios con la administración de ambas dosis, sin embargo, los síntomas fueron leves y en su mayoría aparecieron de 8 a 12 horas posterior a la aplicación.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Gui Chui-Liu
Published: May 2023

Problem. Research has identified culture as one of the factors which reinforces sex-appropriate behaviors and punishes inappropriate behaviors for each gender. The purpose of this study was to validate the theory that culture is an influencing factor in the development of sex-role acquisition through studying two diversely different cultures. Method. This study employed the Bem Inventory for the measurement of sex-role typing. There were a total of 374 college-age females from either a Chinese culture or Anglo-American culture who participated in the study.The subjects were divided into five groups according to the degree of American acculturation. Three null hypotheses were postulated. Findings. (1) There were significantly more Anglo-American females in the sex-typed category called androgynous as compared to the four Chinese female groups. (2) There was a higher percentage of Anglo-American females in Bem's feminine category than Chinese females from Hong Kong and Singapore. (3) The percentage of females in the undifferentiated category was higher for all four Chinese groups as compared to the Anglo-American group. (4) The proportion of subjects in the androgynous category increased as expected from Group 1 to Group 5 with the exception of Group 4. (5) The Hong Kong and Singapore Chinese group had the highest proportion of females classified in the masculine category, and the lowest proportion in the feminine category. (6) There were significant differences in both masculinity and femininity mean scores among the five groups. (7) Both Anglo-American females and Chinese females who came to the United States before the age of ten had a masculine mean score which was significantly higher than that of Chinese females from Hong Kong and Singapore. (8) American-born Chinese females generally scored low in masculine and feminine scales as compared to the Chinese who came to the United States before the age of ten. (9) Chinese females from Hong Kong and Singapore had a significantly lower femininity mean score as compared to all the other groups. Conclusions. The findings in this study validated culture as an influencing factor in the acquisition of sex-role. Based on the assumption that the Anglo-American culture is more androgynous, results indicated that there were a higher percentage of Anglo-American females than of Chinese females classified as androgynous. It verified the hypothesis which posited that there is a relation between sex-role typing and the degree of American acculturation.

Background and Purpose: One of the significant complications of angioplasty is the pain at the catheterization site. These complications will increase the hospitalization duration and hospital costs. The objective of this study is to investigate the combined impact of using sand and ice bags on mitigating pain following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial research, we recruited 60 patient candidates for femoral PCI who were referred to Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad City, Iran, in 2017. The patients were assigned to the control and intervention groups by simple randomization. The statistical analyst was blind to the study. The arterial sheath was removed 4 hours after coronary intervention. Then, a sandbag was placed on the site in control group subjects for up to 4 hours. The ice and sand bags were placed on the site for 15 minutes in the intervention group. Using a numerical pain measurement tool, the pain intensity was recorded at the beginning of the patient’s admission and 3, 6, and 12 hours after the sheath removal. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean & SD) and inferential statistics (The Chi-Square, Fisher exact, Mann-Whitney, Friedman, and t-tests). Results: The mean score of pain intensity in the sandbag combined with the ice bag group (1.1±1.0) was significantly lower than the sandbag group (2.4±0.9) at the 3 hours after the sheath removal (P<0.001). The mean pain intensity scores at the 6 hours after the sheath removal were 0.7±0.7 in the sandbag combined with the ice bag group and 1.0±0.8 (P=0.407) in the sandbag group. Also, 12 hours later, the pain difference between groups was not significant (0.2±0.4 in the sandbag combined with the ice bag group and 0.4±0.6 in the sandbag group (P=0.482). Conclusion: Although both interventions reduced the patient’s pain, the group with the combination of ice bag and sandbag tolerated less pain 3 hours after removing the sheath. Thus, this method can be applied as an available, effective, and cost-effective technique in angiography units of hospitals for reducing local pain.

Background and Purpose: Numerous comorbidities are involved in the severity of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Hypothyroidism’s impact on COVID-19 is yet to be adequately understood. Thyroid disorders are thought to play a role in the development and progress of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the frequency of hypothyroidism among COVID-19 patients in hospitalized patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Tehran City, Iran. Demographic information and other specified data related to our research, mainly comorbidities, were collected using a structured questionnaire from electronic patient health records. A total of 493 medical records of COVID-19 patients were used for this study according to the inclusion criteria. Subsequently, the data were analyzed with SPSS, version 25, using descriptive and analytic statistics. Results: The prevalence of hypothyroidism was 13.2% (n=65) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This was higher (13.4% vs 2.3%) compared with the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the general Iranian population. Overall, in patients with hypothyroidism, about 21 patients (32.3%) expired, of whom 14 patients (66.7%) were female, and 7 (33.3%) were male. In these patients, no statistically significant difference was observed between the expired and discharged groups (Adjusted Odds Ratio: 1.04; 95% CI 0.59-1.83; P=0.87). As a result, hypothyroidism was not linked to an increased risk of death. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism in hospitalized COVID-19 patients appears to be low. However, it seems more prevalent in the female gender but without significant adverse effects on the risk of mortality from this disease.

Introduction: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a painful condition regarded as one of the most prevalent oral mucosal lesions. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence of this disease in Iranian children. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence as well as the risk factors of RAS among children attending public elementary schools in Sari County. Material and Methods: In the current descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, a total number of 2399 elementary students attending public schools in Sari were examined. Of which 1780 of them completed the procedure and filled out a questionnaire about to their demographic and RAS related features. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24. Results: Although 32.8% of the population reported a previous history of RAS, the prevalence of this disease was 9.2% at the time of examination. RAS was significantly more frequent in boys compared to girls; however, the history of RAS was reported more in girls. In the present study, the prevalence of RAS was not significantly associated with age, social status, and economic status of the samples. Conclusion: Based on these findings, RAS appears to be a relatively common disease. As a result, providing families with appropriate training and basic healthcare seems to be effective.

Published: May 2023

Резюме. Професійні спортивні споруди мають відносно недовгий термін служби, багато з них зносять через 30 років або менше. Зазвичай їх будують за рахунок державного фінансування, яке могло б бути використане для вирішення, мабуть, більш нагальних і важливих потреб громадян, таких як забезпечення більшого доступу до медичної допомоги або покращення державних шкіл. Вони можуть штучно впливати на вартість міської нерухомості, змінювати склад та чисельність населення певної території, рідко створюють широку та егалітарну участь громадськості, натомість є місцем проведення багатовитратних заходів. Через це великі проєкти розвитку спортивної інфраструктури, такі як стадіони, футбольні майданчики та арени можуть бути антитезою сталого розвитку сучасного суспільства, тобто розвитку, який захищає природне середовище та «зелені» зони, сприяє економічному зростанню та посилює соціальну справедливість. Мета. Визначити теоретичні концептуалізації екологічного підходу у проєктуванні, експлуатації та реабілітації спортивної інфраструктури міста з позиції екології спорту. Методи. Аналіз і узагальнення даних спеціальної науково-методичної літератури; моніторинг інформаційних ресурсів мережі Інтернет; метод систематизації; контент-аналіз. Результати. На основі проведених нами досліджень було розроблено схему концептуалізації екологічного підходу у проєктуванні, експлуатації та реабілітації спортивної інфраструктури міста з позиції екології спорту, що включала три основні складові наукового пошуку: визначення теоретичних засад, формулювання методичної основи і представлення змісту та рушійних компонентів процесу концептуалізації авторського підходу.

Authors: N Meghana , N Pradeep
Published: May 2023

Background: Dengue is a cause of public health concern with case fatality rate of 1%. Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant which is produced in response to infection and inflammation. The aim of this study is to evaluate serum ferritin levels in various phases of dengue in pediatric dengue patients. Methods: A hospital-based, prospective, and observational study was done involving 30 dengue cases diagnosed by positive NS1 antigen or dengue specific serology (capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Serum ferritin was estimated by electrochemiluminescence in all three phases of dengue. Clinical and platelet count monitoring was done daily; respectively. All children classified as dengue with or without warning signs and severe dengue according to the World Health Organization guidelines on diagnosis treatment, prevention, and control of dengue, 2009. Results: Out of total of 30 children with mean age of the children were 7 years, and 61% were male who were majority. High serum ferritin levels were noted during critical phase. Eight children with dengue shock syndrome and one with acute respiratory distress syndrome were managed in intensive care unit as compared to non-severe dengue with statistically significant difference as p<0.05. Increase in serum ferritin is associated with severe thrombocytopenia. The mean hospital stay duration was found to be 5±3 days (mean ± standard deviation). Conclusion: Serum ferritin levels taken on admission can serve as a reliable and cost-effective biomarker in the assessment and in predicting the severity of dengue fever. Serum ferritin levels may help in identifying an uncomplicated dengue illness, from that of patients who may require inpatient admission/intensive critical care.
A rare case report of ambiguous genitalia

Published: May 2023

An ambiguous genitalia is a commonly referred clinical scenario to endocrinology outpatient department. Accurate diagnosis is paramount to prevent associated salt-wasting crisis, direct the gender of rearing in the short-term, and monitoring for the development of malignancy in the gonads in the long-term. 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency (17 β HSD 3) is one of the causes of defective testosterone biosynthesis. 17β-HSD3 deficiency should be suspected in children with female external genitalia with inguinal hernias or mild clitoromegaly; as well as males with ambiguous genitalia who develop virilization and gynecomastia at puberty. A hormonal evaluation may not always be diagnostic which makes genetic confirmation essential.
Factors Influencing Fan Acceptance or Rejection of a Sport Team’s Revolutionary Rebrand

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Using the context of the Washington Football Team, the current study examined the importance of six brand associations (team colors, community integration, culture/traditions, nickname, logo, uniform style) on fan attitudes toward a revolutionary rebrand. Data were collected from 669 Washington Football Team fans through an online questionnaire. A rating-based conjoint analysis was used to test for the relative influence of each brand association on brand desirability and rejection. Separate analyses were conducted based on respondent geographic location, existing attitudes toward the name change, and level of passion for the team. Across all analyses, team color scheme was at least three times more important than any other association. Findings suggest respondents are more likely to view the revolutionary rebrand favorably if the team keeps its existing color scheme. Conversely, brand friction is likely to occur should the color scheme change, as fans continue to wear merchandise associated with the brand prerevolution.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЦИФРОВОЇ ВАЛЮТИ В ІНДІЇ
Authors: Литвин Олена , Банк Дарина
Published: May 2023

Резервний банк Індії збирається запустити пілотну цифрову валюту центрального банку (CBDC – central bank digital currency), яку він класифікує як законний платіжний засіб у цифровій формі. Загальновідома як цифрова рупія, її можна буде обміняти за номіналом до існуючих валют і вважатиметься прийнятною для платежів і надійним засобом збереження вартості. Вона також називається e₹ або цифровою рупією, CBDC спрямована на створення додаткової можливості використання грошей і не сильно відрізняється від банкнот, що випускаються зараз. Очікується, що лише цифрова рупія буде здійснюватися в цифровому вигляді та сприяти простоті використання. Цифрова рупія є прийнятою РБІ (Резервний банк Індії ) – версією криптовалют, яку центральний банк неодноразово відхиляв і називав серйозною проблемою для стабільності фінансової системи країни. Будучи електронною формою суверенної валюти, CDBC рекламується як безпечніша за приватні криптовалюти.

У статті описано основні податкові стимули, що запропонувала держава для бізнесу в умовах воєнного стану з метою забезпечення підтримки функціонування бізнесу та економіки держави в цілому. Проаналізовано яким чином держава пристосувала податкове навантаження до воєнних умов і які зміни були внесені до податкового законодавства для бізнесу в умовах війни. Уряд запровадив зміни у податковому законодавстві шляхом прийняття декількох Законів України: від 03.03.2022 р. № 2118-ІХ, від 15.03.2022 р. № 2120-ІХ, від 15.03.2022 р. № 2139-ІХ, від 24.03.2022 р. № 2142, від 01.04.2022 р. № 2143, аналіз яких дав можливість зрозуміти, які саме інструменти впливу обрав Кабінет Міністрів України. Інструментами податкового стимулювання бізнесу в період дії воєнного стану стали: зниження ставки податку, заборона перевірок, інвестиційні надбавки та кредит, податкові канікули, відсутність відповідальності за порушення, призупинення термінів, соціальні пільги, пільги на землю, спрощена система звітності та обліку, зміни в оподаткуванні капіталу.

CONCEPTS OF THREAT AND RISK. THEIR COMMON FEATURES AND PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCES (CONCERNING NUCLEAR AND OTHER STRATEGIC OBJECTS)
Authors: Azarenko O. , Honcharenko Yu. , Divizinyuk M. , Shevchenko R. , Shevchenko O.
Published: May 2023

The work systematizes numerous interpretations of the concepts of threats and risks. It is shown that in relation to a strategic nuclear facility, existing threats and risks to it are strictly connected by a triangular functional scheme. Threats that may appear in the form of certain catastrophic events at a specific nuclear facility are assessed by the risk (probability) of the occurrence of a certain catastrophic event under selected conditions at this facility using specially developed methods.
The independence of the state is determined by its ability to preserve its territorial integrity and national security, cultural values and national assets, state potentials and the identity of ethnic peoples.
The problem is to determine the epistemological connections between the concepts of threats and risks in relation to nuclear facilities, which in practice ensures a competent assessment of the surrounding environment, the creation of a reliable model of threats and ensuring the reliable safety of a specific nuclear facility.
Based on the above, the purpose of this article is to systematize numerical interpretations of the concepts of threats and risks in relation to the security of strategic nuclear facilities.
To achieve the set goal, it is necessary to solve the following scientific tasks: first, to analyze the concept of danger; secondly, consider the interpretation of the term risk; thirdly, to describe the relationship between a strategic nuclear facility, a threat, and a risk.
Based on the above, the strategic nuclear facility, its objectively existing threats and risks are strictly connected by a triangular functional scheme. Threats that may appear in the form of certain catastrophic events at a specific nuclear facility are assessed by the risk (probability) of the occurrence of a certain catastrophic event under selected conditions at this facility using specially developed methods.
The application of these logical relationships will allow not only to improve the existing methods of calculating the risks of catastrophic events occurring at nuclear facilities, but also to develop new models of emergency management at technological facilities.
Keywords: critical infrastructure object, nuclear object, terror, dangerous object, protection, concept.

Authors: Prekazi Ylber , Bajrami Roberta , Hoxha Arsim
Published: May 2023

The main purpose of this study is to measure the impact of the capital structure on the financial performance of commercial companies in Kosovo. Specifically, it aims to measure the relationship between the ratio of total debt to capital and the ratio of return on capital employed (ROE), as well as the relationship between the total debt-to-equity ratio and the return on assets (ROA) ratio. Panel data were used to measure the impact of the capital structure on the financial performance of commercial companies in Kosovo for the period 2014-2019. The capital structure indicators included in the study were total debt and total equity, while performance indicators were represented by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The results show that between the capital structure and the financial performance of commercial companies in Kosovo during the study period, there is a strong relationship between assets on the one hand and total capital and total liabilities on the other. The findings of this research are beneficial to investors, lenders, and corporations, and can help financial managers choose the best capital structure to increase the firm's worth.
