The article examines the state of development of energy cooperation in modern conditions. The analysis of research in the field of assessment of the attitude of the subjects of the agricultural sector to the possibility of creating cooperatives focused on the production of biofuel was carried out. The possibility of independent processing of waste from personal peasant households into biofuel was investigated. Agricultural waste, especially in rural areas, is available in fairly large volumes, but it is not suitable for burning in stoves and boilers in non-gasified settlements. The creation of cooperative formations for the processing of straw into pellets can become one of the ways to solve this problem. The model of interaction of agricultural enterprises focused on biofuel production is analyzed. Possible ways of developing the potential of energy cooperatives based on three groups of indicators were studied. The following commercial models that can be used by cooperatives can be defined: production of thermal energy from local renewable resources; cultivation and processing of energy crops (willow, miscanthus and others); use of heat pumps for heat supply; construction of solar water heaters; insulation of buildings; execution of works under the ESCO contract for the budget. It was determined that the marketing model of interaction of agricultural enterprises focused on the production of biofuel should include interaction on the basis of public-private partnership of research institutions and relevant enterprises focused on the production of biofuel. The prospects for the development of the domestic market are determined, first of all, with the construction of low-rise housing, especially cottage villages. As people's incomes increase, the number of middle-income people buying suburban housing increases, and thanks to the efforts of pellet and pellet equipment manufacturers, public awareness of the benefits of heating homes using stones and pellet boilers is increasing. A model of interaction of energy cooperatives with intermediary formations has been developed. The corresponding model should ensure mutually beneficial activity of energy cooperatives with suppliers of equipment for biofuel production and supply of raw materials from agricultural formations (straw, husks, horticultural waste, etc.). The positive economic and social effect of the practical use of the corresponding model was determined.

Published: February 2023

In the current conditions of exogenous and endogenous challenges for companies, the problem of adequate and effective compensation programs for the company's staff is exacerbated, which should support the company's work in the market and strengthen its human resources management indicators in the short and long term. The need to take into account drivers in the context of a wide range of economic agents (corporations, households) adds additional complexity to the task. The aim of the article is to identify the peculiarities of building and implementing compensation programs in Ukraine, based on group and equal evaluation of employees, taking into account the tasks of management at the company level and personnel management. The article studies the problems of formation and implementation of the compensation program based on the collective and equal assessment of the company's employees. The problems of formation and implementation of an adequate compensation program for the company's staff and its impact on the achievement of business goals are highlighted. The analysis of key theories of motivating and rewarding staff in the context of their compliance with modern challenges of the exogenous and endogenous environment of companies is carried out. Based on the analysis of key theories of staff motivation and rewarding, the key aspects of company management and HR-management in terms of building an adequate rewarding system are highlighted. The limitations of the practical implementation of the bonus system based on the collegial assessment of employees are emphasized. The key opportunities and challenges of the modern staff bonus system based on the collegial assessment of employees are identified. The best practices of Ukrainian companies in building and implementing a compensation program based on peer review are reviewed. This study may be useful for specialized researchers, HR experts, private and public companies, industry associations. Prospects for future research are the development of compensation programs based on digitalization tools, as well as an in-depth analysis of the infrastructure for the development, implementation and administration of staff bonus solutions based on peer evaluation of employees.
CONCEPTUAL PROVISIONS OF THE STRATEGY FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, Tokarchuk Dina
Published: February 2023

It is substantiated that the modern development of territorial communities of Ukraine requires research into the causes of socio-economic problems and the search for innovative ways to overcome them. With the beginning of active military operations on the territory of our state, the issue of energy supply of communities became especially relevant, which determined the relevance of the study. The expediency of using the SWOT analysis method to determine gaps in the development of communities has been proven, in particular, it has shown that the common problem of most communities is inefficient waste management and problems with the provision of energy resources, which can be overcome by joint measures – the organization of biofuel production and the use of other alternative sources energy A systematic approach was used to implement this idea – a Strategy for energy-efficient and ecologically safe development of communities was proposed. The principles of the development of the Strategy have been determined, including: the hierarchy of waste management, self-sufficiency, minimizing the impact of the implementation of the strategy on the environment, precautions, the observance of which guarantees the effectiveness of the proposed measures. An important place in the Strategy is the effective management of waste and its use for the production of biofuels – biogas, pellets and briquettes, which allows to obtain a positive environmental effect and to turn waste into a source of energy resources. It is also proposed to develop the production and use of alternative sources of energy, which are quite diverse: solar, wind, geothermal energy, biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, straw, briquettes, straw. The most promising directions for Ukrainian communities have been determined – solar, wind energy and bioenergy. It is substantiated that energy cooperation is a direction that will help implement bioenergy projects in communities. Measures have been identified that will contribute to the attraction of investments in the implementation of the Strategy, since the proposed strategic directions require significant funds, which the average community does not have.
FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN MONITORING TAX EXPENDITURES AND PROSPECTS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Naidenko Oleksii
Published: February 2023

Budget revenue indicators largely depend on the type and size of tax benefits provided for by tax or customs legislation. Tax benefits can be provided in various forms, the main ones being exemption from taxation, reduced tax rate, application of tax discount or tax deduction. At the same time, tax authorities apply in their own reports the division into benefits, which are losses of budget revenues and other tax benefits. This division causes many complaints from scientists and taxpayers, as it does not provide for clear criteria for assigning tax benefits to the first or second group. In addition, this classification does not take into account personal income tax benefits and excise tax benefits for goods imported into the customs territory of Ukraine. It should also be noted that in some cases benefits are granted to certain categories of taxpayers without proper financial and economic justification of budget losses and determination of compensatory budget mechanisms. In contrast to Ukraine, the vast majority of countries in the world apply the concept of tax expenses, which provides a reasonable approach to the classification of tax benefits; selection of persons to whom benefits will apply; formulation of the purpose of introducing the benefit; calculation of losses of budget revenues from the provision of benefits. All this happens within the framework of monitoring the effectiveness of tax expenditures, which is an important method of controlling tax benefits. In addition, it allows the state to regulate economic and social processes. And the most important thing is to promptly respond to the impact of tax benefits on budget revenues and to introduce certain corrective measures to reduce losses (which is regulated by the norms of EU Council Directive 2011/85). The main advantage of this approach is its transparency in the process of using state finances and preventing their inefficient use. Ukraine should ensure the implementation of the concept of tax expenditures, which will be preceded by a public discussion procedure involving representatives of the executive power, the scientific community, and business. Monitoring the effectiveness of tax expenditures should be one of the important stages of implementing the concept.

The paper analyzes the current state of financial and budgetary relations and their impact on the development of the region in conditions of external threats and internal instability, and defines the prospects for ensuring the regulation of social and economic processes in the region by financial and budgetary means. The importance of the formation of a modern conceptual and categorical apparatus of financial and budgetary relations for the development of the region based on the principles of the resource-activity approach is substantiated. Directions for improving the regulatory and legal basis for ensuring financial and budgetary relations for the development of the region are proposed, which will allow solving certain problems in the system of budgetary relations. It is noted that the implementation of foreign experience in regulating social and economic processes in the region by financial and budgetary means is designed to ensure a flexible response to external threats and overcome the consequences of internal instability. It is emphasized that an objective assessment of the level of socio-economic development of the region is a key indicator of the effectiveness of central authorities and local self-government. It is advisable to use a systematic approach to the comprehensive assessment of the level of socio-economic development of the region by components, which will allow to create a scientific basis for the effective distribution of budget funds within the framework of the implementation of goals, strategies and programs of sustainable development at both the national and regional levels. An important aspect of the research is the formation of an approach to the diagnosis of the influence of budget expenditures on the indicators of the development of the region in the aspect of an activity-logistics approach using economic and mathematical tools. The principles of forming the mechanism of financial-budgetary relations in ensuring the development of the region in the context of the activity-logistics approach based on the optimal distribution of budget funds when applying activity-logistics principles and evaluating their effectiveness are determined.

Published: February 2023

The article examines modern features of ensuring the financial stability of banks under the influence of external and internal factors. It was established that the competitive external environment creates the conditions for the formation of the resource base of a banking institution. The situation in the resource market is a factor in ensuring the necessary volumes and structure of the bank's obligations. A comparison of the dynamics and structure of the resource base of the banking system and an individual bank was made. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for a resource-based approach to managing the bank's financial stability, which makes it possible to assess directions for strengthening financial security management, taking into account the characteristics of its resource base. The factors, conditions and possibilities of functioning of the bank's financial stability management system are determined. It was found that in the current conditions of destabilization of the country's economy, a balance between equity and liabilities is necessary. The bank's financial stability management system should be formed in connection with its resource strategy, taking into account the assessment of factors and conditions of the competitive environment and the resource market situation. The implementation of the resource strategy of the bank of strategies should include elements of adjustment in accordance with the results of monitoring the market of banking services and the market of banking resources. Management of the resource base can take place according to a structural approach, which focuses on the relevant structural indicators of the banking system as a whole. The bank's financial stability management system is based on regulatory elements and processes regarding external influence on the bank and management by bank management. One of the components of the system should be the process of forming the bank's resources and their use. Among the methods of assessment, it is necessary to develop methods of strategic analysis of the sources of resource formation, according to which predictive models of changes in the market conditions of banking resources would be applied. For financial stability, it is necessary to ensure a stable ratio between the bank's own capital and liabilities, which requires an increase in the value of equity capital.

Published: February 2023

Global processes transform not only communicative, cultural, economic and political issues of activity, but also combine them into a common information and communication environment. These questions are multi-vector and interdisciplinary. Most scientists consider protest as a separate form of social behavior. The beginning of military aggression in Ukraine actualized the issue of protest communication as a public movement in the world, as a manifestation of socio-communication participation in public protests. The main task of this article is to highlight the peculiarities of communications, the information situation, in the context of protests and social influence. One of the vectors of protests is the reaction to social policy, and an important component is the context of the communication situation. For the analysis of protests, in addition to general factors, specific markers should be taken into account, which can be used to describe the peculiarities of the national mentality and the general cross-cultural dimension. The article highlights the hypothesis that the higher the level of social and economic status of the country, the more ready it will be for protests and "disagreement" with important socio-political manifestations. Mass mobilization of the international community helped rally around the visible problems of Ukraine against the background of protest actions. The involvement of triggers as public activists and Ukrainians themselves affected even the national characteristics of individual countries, reducing the differences of the cultural space, as an element of grouping against the "common threat" that all protesters saw not only in specific personalities of the aggressor country, but also as a challenge to the international environment in general. This article focuses on the issues of study and detailed research of massification processes in public communications. Processes in the modern international world require the possibility of various scientific practices and methodologies in order to form a systemic vision of problems.

The priority direction of the current stage of social and economic development of the regions is active support for the development of education. The formation basis of approaches to solving the problems of economic transformations of the region is the paradigm of sustainable development, which provides for a dynamic process of successive positive changes. These changes ensure the balance of economic, social and ecological aspects of the development of regions. The resilience of the region is a factor of social and economic well-being and is determined by the features of management methods combined with effective management of resources, including human resources. Social mechanisms, rules, and values of people determine economic practices specific to regions. Education is a key aspect of ensuring regional development, and the institutional partnership of educational service providers is a key aspect of change. The comprehensive mechanism of strengthening the influence of education on the processes of ensuring the resilience of the region becomes the promotion of the transformation of everyday practices, the way of life of people, educational organizations and structures, and the community in general. The article notes that the openness of the education sphere to broad social influence contributes to the strengthening of the region's resilience. Positive factors in education are the expansion of the range of providers of educational services, the strengthening of its practice-oriented orientation, the integration of the content of education. The authors determine the impact of the development of institutional partnership on the resilience of regional socio-economic development, determine the types and features of partnership models by type of management, resources, levels of education, determining goals, connections between partnership participants and other features. The authors also justify the need and content of regulatory interventions for scaling the model of institutional partnership of providers of educational services in order to increase the resilience of local/regional social and economic development.
CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF RESILIENCE OF SOCIALLY ORIENTED EXPENDITURES IN UKRAINE’S CONSOLIDATED BUDGET UNDER FISCAL DECENTRALIZATION
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Khodyko Dmytro
Published: February 2023

The decentralization reform implemented in Ukraine since 2014, besides the administrative division and territorial governance transformation, has a considerable fiscal aspect. The 2015 amendments to The Budget Code of Ukraine have established direct bilateral relations between the budgets of central government and territorial communities, most often in their turn reconstituted as an amalgamation of diverse settlements. Equalization of disparities in territorial development, as well as spending optimization, were the primary concerns in the reform process, which resulted in establishment of specific budget transfer mechanisms, including the targeted subventions for education and public health (Art. 97 of the BCU), as well as horizontal equalization of taxability, constituted by the two-way transfers to or from particular communities depending on their dedicated tax income (Art. 98 of the BCU). The present escalation of military aggression towards Ukraine has introduced further territorial discontinuities into the fiscal system, ranging from physical destruction of communities to disproportionate fiscal burdens upon the refugee-welcoming regions. Furthermore, against the war-induced background of one of the deepest economic crises of the Ukrainian independence history, the resilience of socially oriented spending against macroeconomic shocks gains acute relevance. In this context, quarterly consolidated budget spending data provided by the National Bank of Ukraine, which includes total spending on both central governmental and community levels since 2011, despite the obvious limitations, overcome some obstacles to a preliminary efficiency assessment of the reform due to their abstraction from both the interbudgetary transfer mechanisms and the territorial structure. We employed a simple correlation analysis, using Fisher’s z-transformation, of the consolidated budget and GDP data, aimed at establishment of statistical significance of correlation breaks between the real GDP and a number of functional spending categories. The significance is established at the 95% confidence level for educational and social security spending series, which, together with the recent spending observations, testifies for a positive impact having occurred since 2015 upon the resilience of consolidated spending. While the effects may be explained on the macroeconomic level by the mentioned transfer mechanisms in place, this aggregated analysis needs further supportive evidence from the communities’ level.

The presence of competitive advantages in Ukrainian industrial enterprises will be a prerequisite for their survival and recovery at the current stages of the development of the domestic economy. This will be especially relevant in the war and post-war periods. The article aims to study the specifics of the problems and prospects of forming the competitiveness of domestic industrial enterprises and the impact on its level of the personnel management system. The article includes several methods that form the research methodology. The dynamics of domestic business development have been studied. During the war, part of it stopped or partially limited its activities. The levels at which the level of competitiveness of domestic industrial enterprises is formed under dynamic business conditions are analyzed. The article examines micro-level factors affecting the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise, its level. The following factors were analyzed: the production potential of an industrial enterprise, resource potential, technological potential, innovation potential, personnel potential, marketing potential, sales potential, indicators of the efficiency level in using available company resources, etc. Establishing a clear relationship between the level of quality of the workforce (personnel) and the level of competitiveness of specialists will contribute to the formulation of priorities for the development and further implementation of the industrial enterprise's development strategy. Peculiarities of the relationship between the stages of personnel development and increasing the level of competitiveness of the enterprise under highly dynamic business conditions are highlighted. The competitive advantages of industrial enterprises determine the advantages of their personnel in comparison with others. Components for increasing the level of efficiency of its management to increase the level of competitiveness are proposed.

Neoplatonic Interpretation of Paul’s Passage in Ioane Petritsi: Theory on Matter
Authors: Gigineishvili Levan
Published: February 2023

This article considers interrelationship between Neoplatonic philosophy/metaphysics and Christian religion in thought of 13th century Georgian philosopher Ioane Petritsi, on an example of his interpretation of one passage from St. Paul’s Epistle to Romans (Rom. 4. 17). This passage was only tangentially tackled in previous studies. The significance of this paper is to identify the nature of Petritsi’s attempt to harmonize the two – Biblical and philosophical – traditions. Particularly, how does Petritsi treat the Biblical text, which has origin quite different from that of philosophical texts; does he have two different discourses and tries to find meeting points between them, or does he have only one, metaphysical discourse and interprets the Biblical texts from the metaphysical standpoint. This question is of interest, because Petritsi’s philosophical or theological stance still represents a point of discord between scholars: for some he is a patently Orthodox thinker who uses philosophy only for explication of Christian truth, for others he may seem to be a philosopher who uses the Biblical texts only as homage to the official Church tradition without sincerely believing in direct relation between the ideas of the Bible and those of the Platonists. The article is to shed light on exactly those questions.

Samshoblo and Mamuli ('Homeland')
Authors:   Ilia State University, Apridonidze Shukia
Published: February 2023

Research into any synonymic pair or group has self-sufficient value, and their choice does not stand in need of special argumentation. But in the present case the choice of the synonyms to be analysed was prompted by a preliminary (it may be said, perfunctory) observation of the differentiated attitude of Ilia Chavcha­vadze, Georgian literary classic of the 19th c., to the synonymic pair mamuli and samshoblo. In his original writings (poetry, belles-lettres, publi­cism) the author in­tensively – and I believe, consciously – uses mamuli to designate his own country, while in poetic translations (of Byron, Heine, Thomas Moore, Lermontov) – made directly from the language of the original or through some other (intermediary) language – the translator gives preference e to samshoblo (Chavchavadze 1937: I, 209-44). Besides, the purely termi­nological use of samshoblo, one of the synonyms, in some contexts modern Georgian is noteworthy. Examples of such contexts are: samshoblos (not mamulis) ghalat’i (legal use), ‘betrayal of one’s homeland’; chineti chais samshobloa (not mamuli) ‘China is homeland of tea’. Such non-substitutability or differentiated use-non-use of synonyms naturally stirs the researcher’s interest, challenging him/her to make his/her special study. In modern Georgian two synonyms are used to denote the concept of ‘homeland’: samshoblo and mamuli. Research into the following components is proposed in order to study their interrelationship: 1. The definition and typology of etymologies of the synonyms; 2. From monosemy to polysemy and synonymization; 3. Derivation (including forming compound words); 4. From polysemy to monosemy and terminologization; 5. Syntagmatics and Stylistics of synonyms
Peculiarities of Formation of Abstract Nouns in Hebrew
Authors:   Ilia State University, Guledani Lali
Published: February 2023

One of the sources of enriching of Hebrew vocabulary is creating of the new words by already established stems and models of word deriving models in the grammar (including the cases of borrowing from the other languages), though, there are some cases of filling of the vocabulary artificially as well. Permanent process of renovation of the vocabulary develops in three directions: a) new lexical units are created; b) words useless for the language are moved into the passive vocabulary; c) number of meanings of the words change; as a result, neologisms and archaisms are created in the language [Kornienko 1979:11]. In Hebrew, great number of neologisms (in particular, nouns) is result of the above morphological word-formation. Abstract nouns are distinguished with their great number and abstract nouns with ת∙ו – suffixes are even more prominent. Among them, number lexemes formed from internationalisms is especially great. To determine, why ut – suffix is so productive in formation of neologisms in Hebrew, whether its attachment to a word is of artificial nature or it is logical result of the processes ongoing in the language, we found reasonable to study characteristic features of all models and formation of the abstract nouns. To make logical conclusion, we regard that it is necessary to study not only Hebrew grammar models, but clarification of their relations in the other Semite languages with the represented material, what would allow to exactly determining morphological and semantic functions of abstract models and affixes in modern Hebrew, taking into consideration general Semite data. We regard that these issues would be of interest and significance for those, interested in problems of lexicology and word-formation processes (as in our case) and in addition, with respect of systematization of Hebrew grammar categories, as the issue of such significance is presented only fragmentally in the theoretical literature.
Towards the Attribution of the Georgian Translation of the Oratio Catchetica Magna of St. Gregory of Nyssa
Authors:   Ilia State University, Kochlamazashvili Ekvtime
Published: February 2023

One of Gregory of Nyssa’s works entered in the above-noted Georgian antholo­gies is a highly important dogmatic work: Oratio catechetica magna. This translation has come down to us in the collections of MSS: those of Tbilisi National Centre MSS A55(11th-12th cc.) and A108 (cent.) and the MS of the Iviron Monastery on Mt. Athos Ath.georg.14(ca 14th c.). In the three collections the Oratio is given as the first chapter. Conjecturally, it must have been in the extant fourth anthology as well (Ath.Georg. 49; XI cent.), but that MS lacks the opening part, and this must be the reason for the absence in it of the text of the Oratio. The Oratio, which is inserted between the translations by Euthymius and George Hagiorites, may be a priori considered to belong to one of them. But, specifically to which of them? Determination of this is, as already noted, quite feasible through textual analysis of the translation.

This problem is very important to study more deeply, considering that learning media is an important component that must exist in the implementation of learning. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research was conducted at SDN Sidosermo 1 Surabaya during December 2022. The data needed in this study included literature studies, direct observation, supported by questionnaire results and interviews with PPG students who carried out PPL at SDN Sidosermo 1 Surabaya. The results of this study note that there are still teachers who have not utilized digital-based innovative learning media during learning. Teachers still use the lecture method and simple media in the form of pictures and word cards to support learning. The lack of use of digital-based innovative learning media is not only seen in Sidosermo 1 Surabaya Elementary School, but also in several schools in Indonesia. This is known from data which states that around 60% of teachers in Indonesia still do not master information and communication technology. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the use of digital-based innovative learning media is still minimal and needs to be improved in the future. It is intended that there is a balance between technological advances and scientific advances in the school environment, which in turn can improve the quality of learning

Introdução: Cerca de 31% dos pacientes hospitalizados com COVID-19 perdem mais de 5% de seu peso inicial, levando a fraqueza muscular. Portanto, a composição corporal tornou-se foco de investigação, para estimar comprometimento pulmonar, força da musculatura inspiratória e mortalidade. Objetivos: Investigar se a perda de peso e a composição corporal de pacientes internados com COVID-19 influenciam na função pulmonar e na força muscular inspiratória após alta hospitalar. Métodos: Estudo transversal. Pacientes adultos foram avaliados após internação por COVID-19. Os desfechos avaliados foram função pulmonar, pressão inspiratória máxima (Pimáx), composição corporal e mortalidade. As correlações entre as variáveis foram estimadas pelo Coeficiente de Correlação de Pearson. Resultados: A capacidade Vital Forçada (CVF) foi correlacionada com perda de peso, massa muscular esquelética, massa magra, perna esquerda e massa livre de gordura; o volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1) correlacionou-se apenas com a perda de peso; e a Pimáx foi correlacionada com massa muscular esquelética, massa magra, perna esquerda, perna direita e massa livre de gordura. Conclusão: Observou-se correlação moderada entre CVF e as variáveis de composição corporal analisadas, exceto massa magra da perna esquerda; entre VEF1 e perda de peso; e entre Pimáx e as variáveis de composição corporal analisadas, exceto perda de peso.

A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka Cantonment, Bangladesh, between November 2017 and May 2018, to assess the keratometric results of clear corneal incision on the steep meridian in patients with preoperative astigmatism  during phacoemulsification cataract surgery. After obtaining written informed consent, a total of 40 cataract patients with age ranged between 40 and 70 years were selected. All patients were examined pre- and postoperatively after 1 week and 3 months for evaluation of astigmatism. Keratometry was done by using an autorefractometer and an autokeratometer. Astigmatism was calculated from keratometric data using vector analysis. The mean age of the study participants was 52±9.1 years. Male predominance was observed as male-female ratio was 1.7:1. The change in astigmatism in between pre- and post-operative were 0.44±0.20 in temporal incision group and 0.19±0.00 in superior incision group; both were statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference in mean astigmatism between the groups was 0.375 (P<0.001). Postoperative astigmatism <0.5D was observed in 16(40%) patients when incision was given at temporal site and in 8(20%) patients when incision was given at superior site. Astigmatism was significantly (P<0.05) decreased more when incision given at temporal site in comparison to superior site. Our data suggest that preexisting astigmatism was significantly decreased postoperatively in majority of patients when incision was placed on steep meridian and temporal incision has less surgically induced astigmatism than superior incision.

A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dhaka Dental College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 2014 to 2015, to assess the site-specific clinical behaviour of the lesion in patients with odontogenic keratocyst in the jawbone. The study was conducted on 25 patients who were clinically diagnosed with Odontogenic keratocyst of the jaw. Samples were selected by convenient sampling technique. Data were collected through pretested semi-structured questionnaire & analyzed by using the statistical packages of social science (SPSS) version 25.0. The mean age of the total 25 patients was 23.56± SD years and ranges from 10 to 50 years. The highest proportions of patients (44%) were from less than 20 years of age and a few (8%) of them were from more than 41 years. The study showed that 80% were male and 20% were female. In most of the cases (64%), the tooth was present in the series. Among the patients, the majority (84%) had an absence of syndrome, history of absence of tooth displacement was found 66% and absence of root resorption was 80%. Most of the keratocyts (36%) were in body and angle of the mandible, second most (24%) site was in the body of the Mandible. The knowledge about the clinical presentation of odontogenic keratocyst is needed for accurate diagnosis and prognostic assessment.

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in sputum-smear negative patients. This observational case series study was conducted in a tertiary base institute of Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2019. All patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis who were sputum-smear negative, irrespective of age and gender were included in this study. BAL fluid thus obtained and examined the smear for acid fast bacilli (AFB) and Xpert MTB/RIF assay. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy values were calculated for smear AFB and Xpert MTB/RIF assay. Xpert MTB/RIF was identified 33 (36.7%) of 90 patients on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the final analysis. AFB Fluid culture was positive in 28 (31.2%) cases. The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay was 85.7%, and 85.5% respectively. The positive likelihood ratio was 5.90, and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.167. The accuracy was 85.56%. Xpert MTB/RIF on BAL fluid can be recommended as a fruitful diagnostic tool for mycobacterium pulmonary tuberculosis especially in sputum smear negative, and culture negative patients.
