The rate of gross savings: theory and practice
Authors: Kryuchkova Iryna
Published: November 2019

Scientific justification of the rate of gross savings is one of the key issues in the models of economic growth and a fundamental parameter of economic architectonics in the context of long-term dynamics of growth and structure of total demand. The article aims at demonstrating the genesis of the theory of the rate of gross savings beginning from the classics of political economy to theoretical justifications of the endogenization of the rate of savings in the models of economic growth as well as a detailed consideration of the components of gross savings with the analysis of the factors affecting its level (based on statistical data).
It is exactly the empirical analysis that allows testing the validity of theoretical concepts and determining the correctness of the theorists' conclusions. The author shows a great gap between the classical view of the savings rate as a result of the action of natural law, which leads to self-regulation of the parameters of production reproduction, on the one hand, and the purely rational views shaped during the formation and development of the theory and models of economic growth, on the other.
Empirical studies have shown that the rate of savings and the rate of capital ac-cumulation are different in the economies of different countries and depend on: the degree of government intervention in the distribution of gross disposable income between institutional sectors and in the structure of households by income level, the level of public social transfers, the depth of income misbalances and expenditure of the institutional sectors and, accordingly, their net borrowing and accumulated debt, as well as on the current phase of the economic cycle and quality of the investment environment.
The practical relevance of the study is important to substantiate fiscal policy, especially regarding its impact on the level of gross savings in the non-financial corporations and government sectors, as well as the level of public social and capital expenditures.
Estimating risk exposure of Ukrainian enterprises using methods of corporate finance
Authors: Kerimov Pavlo
Published: November 2019

Weak market infrastructure makes the data provided by Ukrainian stock exchanges obscure and unreliable, which ultimately led to a loss of Ukraine's "frontier market" status since 2015. This, in turn, makes risk exposure estimation of Ukrainian enterprises, especially using CAPM and its modifications, a rather complex and creative process, which is highly dependent on the qualification of the expert making such assessment. The aims of this research are to itemize the main issues with calculating beta-coefficient using Ukrainian data and to offer possible ways of mitigating or avoiding them.
Using a set of Ukrainian engineering enterprises the author demonstrates the main limitations of the current statistics provided by Ukrainian stock exchange (namely, fragmentary data with dubious representativeness), gives a condensed characterization of reasons for such state of affairs, and proposes to use methods of calculation based on open source corporate data instead. The best results were achieved by using a method based on adjusting existing average industry-based beta coefficient to enterprise's individual financial leverage. The author hypothesizes that in order to receive results more representative for Ukraine's situation one should use industry average beta, calculated based on Ukrainian data instead of worldwide averages, available in the open sources.
The methodical approaches to calculating beta coefficient, examined in this paper, and their modifications in order to fit Ukrainian conditions better, could potentially be used in order to access risk exposure of enterprises, functioning on other frontier or developing markets. Creating an open database of industry-based average betas, calculated on basis of Ukrainian data, could be a valuable alternative to currently available sources for evaluating assets on non-developed markets.
The impact of transaction costs on the transformation of the natural gas market of Ukraine
Authors: Yukhymets Roman
Published: November 2019

The desire to integrate into the European development model stipulated that Ukraine voluntarily assumed international commitments about transformation of the institutional environment according to the European model. The level of political awareness of the content of the necessary changes and how to achieve a systemic balance of reforming different sectors was often declarative in the absence of any sound estimates, including the implications for different economic actors.
However, the need to reform the energy sector was determined not only by international obligations, but also by the presence of domestic problems, which over time without the application of systemic changes would become barriers to the entire further economic development of Ukraine. The main content of the implementation of European directives in the energy sector was just intended to systematically transform market relations by changing the rules of market functioning, which was supposed to solve the main crisis problems in various areas of the energy sector.
The recent model of Ukrainian natural gas market was featured by all the shortcomings of the pre-reformed state of European markets: the tariff system did not promote rational consumer behavior, which exacerbated the pressure on the state budget; the delivery rules did not guarantee the proper quality of service; the absence of investment in the gas transportation sector made it impossible to expand fixed assets; the established transport and distribution rules became a barrier to free access to third-party networks and the development of competition in the supply segment.
The actual implementation of the Second and Third Energy Package standards in the functioning of the national market of the natural year began in 2015, with the adoption of the Law on the Natural Gas Market. Today, an urgent task remains to estimate the process of reforming the natural gas market and to efficiently solve those crisis phenomena that caused the distortion of the institutional environment of the natural gas market.
Since the accumulated problems of the previous model of the natural gas market were due to the inefficiency of the institutions, the article attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of the gas sector transformation process and analyze the impact of changes in certain market segments from the perspective of neoinstitutional theory and study the level of transaction costs.
Modeling company's financial sustainability with the use of artificial neural networks
Authors: Debunov Leonid
Published: November 2019

For enterprises in market conditions, not only the sum of profit is important, but also their financial capacity to continue its activity. The ability of a company to counteract the threat of bankruptcy is an essential condition for its long-term functioning and sustainable development. The financial sustainability of an enterprise is a complex characteristic that can't be described by the value of a single simple indicator. In modern conditions, for its diagnosis, a comprehensive analysis using various financial indicators is used. When a human does it, such an assessment may be subjective and depends on the level of the analyst's qualification and competence.
The article proposes the use of artificial neural networks to build an economic and mathematical model of company's financial sustainability, which is designed to remove the human factor, and to increase the speed and accuracy of the companies' bankruptcy threat diagnosis. An example of such a model is presented that is relevant for Ukrainian companies in the current conditions of the period after the economic crisis of 2014-2015. To model financial sustainability, a three-level artificial neural network of direct signal propagation was constructed. As input factors it is proposed to use 17 financial indicators that should give the most complete assessment of the company's financial sustainability. The study shows that prediction of bankruptcy is possible in the time horizon up to 3 years from the date of filing annual financial statements. The constructed model allows not only to accurately classify enterprises as "financially sustainable" and "potential bankrupt" but also opens up opportunities for further researches about the mutual dependence between the values of financial indicators while maintaining a certain level of financial sustainability. The model may be useful for financial institutions, investment funds, audit firms and companies themselves for timely prediction of the company's bankruptcy.

Analysis of changes to the landscape in transitional zones of medium-sized cities of central Europe
Authors: Cieślak Iwona , Szuniewicz Karol , Czyża Szymon
Published: November 2019

The article presents results of an analysis of changes to the landscape in zones directly bordering with Central European cities of medium size. Authors have designated and analysed 57 zones as buffers contained within a radius of 30 km from the administrative city boundaries. Transformations of the landscape were determined on the basis of three indicators showing the fragmentation of the land use forms, distortions of area patches with different land uses, and an increase in the diversification of functions. The data adopted for the study originated from CORINE Land Cover, determined for two points of time i.e. the years 2006 and 2012. The obtained results indicate that the changes to the landscape, identified on the basis of the selected indicators, are strongly linked to the increase in the size of urban areas. The analysis also showed a clear differentiation between cities situated in Central European countries.

To facilitate fine-scale phenotyping of whole specimens, we describe here a set of tissue fixation-embedding, detergent-clearing and staining protocols that can be used to transform excised organs and whole organisms into optically transparent samples within 1–2 weeks without compromising their cellular architecture or endogenous fluorescence. PACT (passive CLARITY technique) and PARS (perfusion-assisted agent release in situ) use tissue-hydrogel hybrids to stabilize tissue biomolecules during selective lipid extraction, resulting in enhanced clearing efficiency and sample integrity. Furthermore, the macromolecule permeability of PACT- and PARS-processed tissue hybrids supports the diffusion of immunolabels throughout intact tissue, whereas RIMS (refractive index matching solution) grants high-resolution imaging at depth by further reducing light scattering in cleared and uncleared samples alike. These methods are adaptable to difficult-to-image tissues, such as bone (PACT-deCAL), and to magnified single-cell visualization (ePACT). Together, these protocols and solutions enable phenotyping of subcellular components and tracing cellular connectivity in intact biological networks.
LUD as an Instrument for (Sub)Metropolitanization: The 1000-District in Rishon-Lezion, Israel as a Case Study
Authors: Weinberg Eran , Cohen Nir , Rotem-Mindali Orit
Published: November 2019

Interest in the role of large urban development (LUD) projects in regeneration efforts of cities has risen in recent years. Studies of their planning process have often focused on global cities, examining challenges associated with their joint (public–private) governance structure, as well as those emanating from the need to balance local and global needs and interests. With few exceptions, the ways in which these projects fit in with metropolitan aspirations of small and medium cities were largely overlooked. In this article, we explore how a large-scale project was used by local authorities to reposition a secondary city as a sub-metropolitan center. Using the case of the 1000-District (Mitcham HaElef) in the Israeli city of Rishon-Lezion, it argues that while the project was originally designed to resolve the city’s scarce employment problem, it was gradually used to endow it with higher-order urban qualities, re-situating it as a sub-metropolitan center in the Tel-Aviv area. To support our argument, we focus on the project’s housing and employment components, including changes they were subjected to along the planning process, as well as the marketing campaign, which sought to re-present the city as a viable sub-metropolitan alternative. Drawing on qualitative methods, including personal interviews and content analysis, the article illustrates how one city’s large project is instrumentalized to attain metro-scale objectives. In so doing, it contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complexity of LUD planning, its stated objectives at various scales, and implications for actors in and beyond metropolitan jurisdictions.

Multiplanar MRI imaging of sellar and parasellar lesions with clinical and pathological correlation
Authors: Karthikeyan Vanchilingam , Ilanchezhian Subramanyam
Published: November 2019

Background: Sellar and parasellar/ juxtasellar regions are complex areas of the brain, hold delicate neurovascular structures. A number of diseases that affect the pituitary-hypothalamic axis can have profound clinical, endocrinological as well as neurological consequences. Aim of this retrospective study was to identify the MR imaging characteristics and epidemiology of sellar and suprasellar lesions, to correlate the MRI findings with histopathological findings and to highlight the diagnostic superiority of MR imaging.Methods: Author studied the records of 65 patients with sellar and suprasellar lesions for which preoperative MR imaging films or reports were available. Radiological appearances were correlated with intraoperative findings and post-operative histopathology.Results: Majority of patients in this study belonged to the age group 21-40 years. Most common mass lesion found was pituitary macroadenoma comprising 58% of the total cases. The accuracy of MRI in diagnosing macroadenomas are 96.80%. MR was 87.50%accurate, in diagnosing craniopharyngioma. MR was 100% in diagnosing meningioma in our study.Conclusions: MRI is the modality for characterizing sellar and suprasellar lesions, morphology of lesions, nature of contrast material enhancement and extent of lesions. Hence MRI is the modality of choice for diagnosing sellar and suprasellar masses with high accuracy
Evaluation of Rosners index vs Brandt correction and Chang’s %, in the interpretation of mixing studies at varying dilutions
Authors: Baig Mirza Asif , Iqbal Mohammed Shahid , Tabassum Ayesha
Published: November 2019

Background: For evaluation of unexplained prolongation of PT and PTT, mixing tests forms a great diagnostic tool. On mixing equal volume of patient plasma with normal pooled plasma, if there is correction it indicates factor deficiency and non-correction indicates inhibitors.Methods: Sysmex CS-5100 Coagulometer with Pathrombin SL APTT reagent, LA1 and LA2 reagents supplied by siemens were used. All data were expressed as Mean±SD. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired students t test. A p value of <0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance in all analyse.Results: APTT with (1:1) and (4:1) mixing study for detection of factor deficiency showed a sensitivity of 91% and 92% for RI, 88% and 90% for Changs %, and 75% for Brandt correction PNP aPTT + 5 secs respectively. For Inhibitors, RI shows a sensitivity of 79% and 89%, Changs 71 and 80% and Brandt test 50% for APTT (1:1) and (4:1) mix, respectively.Conclusions: Mixing tests forms an important diagnostic tool in differentiating factor deficiency from inhibitors especially in LAC patients. This study recommends mandatory use of mixing tests in LAC cases as also advocated by BSH, ISTH and CLSI. Rosners Index is more sensitive than changes % and Brandt correction in the interpretation of mixing studies. It can be safely concluded that RI can be used as a reference method for evaluation of mixing studies and its sensitivity is greatly increased by using PP4:1 PNP. It’s a matter of debate that whether these indices can be effective with other Analysers and reagents?
CONSCIOUS USE OF CODE-SWITCHING TO IMPROVE FLUENCY IN SPOKEN ENGLISH OF BANGLADESHI STUDENTS
Authors: Ul Hoque Eiten Ehatasham , Hasan Parvez M , Q Khan Kaish
Published: November 2019

Purpose: Present-day English language teaching in Bangladesh, despite adopting Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), focuses more on accuracy (i.e. grammar) than fluency which is proved as a weak strategy. Fluency acquisition in speaking includes pronunciation, but focusing on pronunciation first, slows down the process of becoming a fluent speaker.

Methodology: As code-switching exists at the tertiary level in Bangladesh and because of the tremendous fascination of Bangladeshi students towards Bengali, code-switching can be utilized as a tool to improve fluency in spoken English. Thus, this research proposes an alternative to existing approaches.

Result: Once desired fluency is achieved; grammar and pronunciation will be emphasized respectively to attain proper speaking skills. The success of this process can be studied in three phases. In the first phase, it examines whether allowing code-switching while speaking English helps Bengali students achieve fluency or not.

Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students.

Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the Conscious Use of Code-Switching to Improve Fluency in Spoken English of Bangladeshi Students is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
Moulding the democratic citizen of the future: On the discourses and practices of film education in Sweden
Authors: Janson Malena
Published: November 2019

The aim of this article is to convey the history, practices and central discourses of film education in Sweden. The first part takes the pioneering efforts, dating back to 1908, as a starting point for describing the development of nationwide school cinema, financed by public funding
and coordinated by the Swedish Film Institute. As I will argue, film education in Sweden is primarily used as a tool for fostering democratic citizens. The second part of the article discusses the main discourses of this film education model – that is, what constitutes this democratic
citizen – and how these are conveyed. An analysis of film study guides produced by the Swedish Film Institute between 1988 and 2018 demonstrates that the main aim of what could be referred to as the Swedish model is to foster the basic principles of human rights as defined by
the United Nations, and that this is achieved in a very convincing manner.
Bildung through films: How to discuss existential questions in academia
Authors: Koster Edwin
Published: November 2019

Much has been written on the future of the academy within Europe. Raising questions about the ongoing aims of the university, critical authors have argued in favour of old but sometimes forgotten values such as 'critical thinking' and ' Bildung '. Joining such voices, this paper
argues that one way to achieve the ideal of Bildung is through the use of films with 'existential themes', such as Rolando Colla's film 7 Giorni (7 Days, 2016). I explore how films may contribute to the realization of the ideal of Bildung, and how an education based
upon such films might be constructed. In doing so, I refer to the work of Paul Ricoeur on the 'hermeneutical arc', and apply the method of 'moral case deliberation' in interpreting the existential dimensions in film. Ultimately, I hope this article will serve to assist other university lecturers
in exploring how Bildung may be realized in higher education settings through watching and analysing films.
Getting a bigger picture: Teaching film in transcultural societies
Authors: Anders Petra
Published: November 2019

This article presents the main results of an empirical study on the use of feature films in primary and secondary schools, which was carried out as part of the European Union project Film: A Language Without Borders in 2018. The aim of the project, by Vision Kino (Germany), the British
Film Institute and the Danish Film Institute, was to familiarize children and young adults with European film culture and to promote transcultural learning. The author contextualized the results of 28 individual interviews with teachers using the concepts of literary learning (Spinner, 2006)
and transculturality (Welsch, 1999), arguing that films can act as a springboard to support more critical conversations in class and to build cultural repertoires. Mobilizing social and cultural practices surrounding a film screening can help to foster a collective sense of well-being and
an arena for dissent. Teaching film can create a valuable sense of community in modern diverse classrooms.

W artykule za cel przyjęto ocenę dostępności pieszej oraz transportem indywidualnym parków zlokalizowanych w granicach Turku i Konina. Na analizowanych obszarach zinwentaryzowano 11 parków w tym pięć w Turku a sześć w Koninie. Wynikiem analiz było przedstawienie powierzchni zabudowy mieszkaniowej w izochronach 0–5 minut; 5–10 minut oraz 10–15 minut od parków. W tym celu wykorzystano dane pochodzące z Bazy Danych Obiektów Topograficznych (BDOT). Powyższe dane wskazują, że lepszą dostępnością pieszą jak i transportem indywidualnym, dla mieszkańców, charakteryzują się parki w Turku, na co wpływ ma fakt, że jest to miasto pięciokrotnie mniejsze pod względem powierzchni niż Konin, zaś liczba i powierzchnia parków w obu przypadkach jest porównywalna. Analizy te są niezwykle istotne, ponieważ dostępność terenów zieleni dla mieszkańców stanowi jeden ze wskaźników jakości środowiska miejskiego.

Long term fertilizer applications and continuous cropping system of Maize - Finger millet (44 years of cropping sequence) has a significant impact on yield and nutrient balance on a soil system. The investigation assessed the effect of long term fertilizer usage on yield and nutrient balance through different treatments such as different doses of NPK (50%, 100% and 150%), NPK along with organic manure, omission of K, PK, addition of Zn along with NPK and omission of S from major nutrients. Application of inorganic NPK fertilizers at graded levels from 50 to 150% NPK increased the grain and straw yield of finger millet and maize. Under the integrated nutrient management practice (100% NPK+FYM),the percent increased grain yield was 17.08 in finger millet and 12.62 in maize over 100 % NPK indicating that INM is the best way of maximize the yield continuously in intensive cropping systems. Under this treatment, the soil available nutrient status was observed high. In INM treatment, possibly the added FYM, might have contributed directly in appreciable amounts of major and micronutrients to the soil and enhanced yields. The status of available N was highest under 100% NPK + FYM, followed by 100% NPK. Continuous addition of N alone did not influence available N, instead reduced available N when compared to NPK treatments. Addition of fertilizer P in progressive levels such as 50, 100 and 150% NPK levels has increased the soil available P (22.62 % in finger millet and 26.35 % in maize) over 100 per cent NPK. Also, addition of different levels of K has improved the soil available K (18.32 % in finger millet and 14.41 % in maize) when compared to 100 % NPK.

The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications during rabi 2013-14 at All India Co-Ordinated Sorghum Improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (M.S.). Total seven sowing dates (E1-15th August, E2-15 September, E3-15 October, E4-15 November, E5-15 December, E6- 15 January and E7- 15 February) were assigned to the main plot and 16 parental and hybrid lines having four male sterile lines (viz., 104A, 185A, RMS 2010-24A and RMS2010-10A), four maintainer lines (viz., 104B, 185B, RMS2010-24B and RMS2010-10B), four restorer (viz., SPV1830, RSV1130, RSV1098 and BJV116) and their four respective hybrids (viz., 104A x SPV1830, 185A x RSV1130, RMS2010-24A x RSV1098 and RMS2010-10A x BJV116) were assigned to the sub plot treatment. The observations on growth, phenology, physiology and dry matter production were recorded during crop growth period, also, the data on seed set, grain yield and yield contributing characters were recorded at harvest stage. The seed setting percentage in selfed condition was recorded to be higher in September sowing environment followed by October sowing while, in case of the parental lines restorer lines SPV1830, RSV1130, RSV1098 and hybrid RMS2010-24A X RSV1098 recoded the higher seed setting percentage in all the environments and among all the genotypes, indicating their thermo-insensitivity for all the seasons which were considered to be promising genotypes for further breeding programme for yield improvement.

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the world’s most popular oilseed crops. Nut yield in groundnut is polygenically controlled and is influenced by its component characters. A field experiment was conducted to study the variation in respect of kernel yield and its component characters along with dry matter production and partitioning at important vegetative and reproductive growth stages in nineteen genotypes of groundnut. The correlation studies were also conducted to prioritize morphological and physiological traits for improving yield. Genotypes exhibited significant differences among them in respect of kernel yield and its all attributes. Highly significant differences were recorded in respect of dry matter production and partitioning to different plant parts at pre-anthesis (30 DAS) and post-anthesis pod filling (60 DAS) stages.

Background. For people with hypersensitivity, the problem of allergenic and pyrogenic environmental load is of great importance. Material and methods. Hostel and apartment dust in Moscow was analyzed for bacteria and fungi by microbiological and molecular methods. Results. Aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria prevailed, numbers varying from 4.8×104 to 2.0×109 MPN/g of dust in hostels (Me=4.8×106 MPN/g) and from 3.0×104 to 1.0×109 of dust MPN/g in apartments (Me=3.8×106 MPN/g). Gram-positive bacteria were revealed in 100% of apartments and in 80% of hostels, Gram-negative, in 47% of apartments, and in 73% of hostels. 9 yeast species were isolated: Filobasidium wieringae, F.magnum, Papiliotrema flavescens, Vishniacozyma victoriae, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Debaryomyces hansenii, Candida parapsilosis, C.tropicalis, Meyerozyma guilliermondii. R.mucilaginosa dominated (34.5% and 33.4%). Candida spp. were more frequent in hostels, while Filobasidium spp., in apartments. Yeast cell number varied from 3.5×103 to 1.3×106 CFU/g of dust in hostels (Me=3.2×104 CFU/g), and from 2.3×103 to 2.5×106 CFU/g of dust in apartments (Me=3.3×104 CFU/g). 56 mycelial fungi species were revealed. Penicillium chrysogenum (100%), Aspergillus niger (100%), Rhizopus stolonifer (100%), A.ochraceus (80%), Mucor plumbeus (67%), P cyclopium (60%) were the most frequent in hostels. P.cyclopium (60%), P.chrysogenum (60%) were the most frequent in apartments. Mold concentration varied from 1.8×105 to 7.5×106 CFU/g of dust in hostels (Me=5.2×105 CFU/g) and from 3.3×103 to 2.3×105 CFU/g of dust in apartments (Me=4.0×104 CFU/g). Micromycetes complexes were similar in different hostels but differed in apartments. Discussion. The species diversity and CFU counts of microorganisms do not give the true values of the concentration of allergenic and pyrogenic compounds. Conclusion. We propose complex assessment involving identification of both allergenic and pyrogenic compounds and producers.

Мaterial and Methods. Data of monitoring of anthropometric signs of schoolchildren aged of 7-15 years (2005-2013) living in a rural settlement of the Sverdlovsk region are presented. results. The average growth of schoolchildren varies from 122 cm at the age of 7 to 155 cm at the age of 13 years. At 14 years, the average height of boys exceeds in comparison with girls by 4 cm, and at 15 years - by 10 cm. The average body weight of 7-years-olds is 23 kg, 14-year-old boys are on average heavier than girls by 2.5 kg, and at the age of 15 years - by 10 kg. The first cross-section of the dynamics curves of the studied somatometric signs (height, body weight, chest circumference) in schoolchildren of different genders is observed at the age of 10-11 years, the second is from 13 to 14 years. The distributions by mass of the body are asymmetric, in height is close to normal. The proportion of both boys and girls aged 8-11 years in the modal distribution classes ranges from 40 to 60%. The revealed average values for the growth of schoolchildren are lower than in the corresponding period in Moscow but increased from 2008 to 2012. And they are close to all-Russian values in the late XX and early XXI centuries. The observed dynamics can be related to the asynchrony and unevenness of the process of acceleration, the influence of urbanization. One of the reasons for the lagging behind of rural schoolchildren from urban peers is likely to be associated with a lower standard of living for the rural population. It can be assumed that an increase in this level determines also smaller differences between the indices of rural and urban children and adolescents.
