ABSTRACT: Condemnations in the broilers abattoirs can represent an overview farms health and effectiveness of welfare programs, as well as predisposition between hybrids. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of condemnation among four commercial broiler hybrids and the oscillation of condemnations in different seasons in a poultry abattoir. Data from condemnations of the Federal Inspection Service of a slaughterhouse were analyzed during one year, in which a total of 12.81% of partial condemnations were observed and total condemnations represented 0.41% of slaughtered broiler. There was a difference in total and partial condemnation among the hybrids evaluated, with Hubbard hybrid being the one with the highest number of condemnations (0.67% - 17.71%), followed by Ross 95 (0.42% - 14.21%), Cobb (0.30% - 10.03%); and Cobb Fast (0.26% - 9.29%). The analysis between the seasons showed a higher conviction rate in winter and a lower rate in autumn for both total and partial condemnation. Hubbard had the highest rates and Cobb Fast the lowest for most causes of condemnation. We concluded that the metabolic cause led to higher losses by total condemnation, while contamination or technopathies represented the highest rates in partial losses. The broiler hybrid and the time of year may influence the causes of condemnation in the abattoir. This information should be considered by the abattoir and the farms in sanitary planning, considering the financial impact due to losses by condemnations of carcasses.

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT: The persimmon tree is known for its rusticity and productivity and was first introduced to Brazil in the late 19th century. However, anthracnose disease is causing immature fruit drop and severe disease symptoms in persimmon fruit, shoots, flowers, and twigs. The causal agent was first described as the fungal species, Colletotrichum horii, which was first confirmed using only the ITS region. In this study, we compared the aggressiveness of 13 isolates of Colletotrichum spp. obtained from fruit and shoots of persimmon grown in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil. A multilocus molecular analysis was carried out based on ITS, GPDH, and EF genes, and we confirmed that the isolates were confirmed as C. horii. All isolates were pathogenic for unwounded and wounded persimmon fruit but differed in aggressiveness. Only one isolate was non-pathogenic when inoculated into unwounded persimmon shoots. Most isolates caused cankers and shoot death whether shoots were wounded or unwounded. In this study, we emphasized the importance of shoots as a source of primary inoculum. In future studies, it will be critical to further elucidate the epidemiological basis of anthracnose disease by conducting field studies to establish a more effective strategy for disease control.

Off label, compassionate and irrational use of medicines in Covid-19 pandemic, health consequences and ethical issues
Authors: Paumgartten Francisco José Roma , Oliveira Ana Cecilia Amado Xavier de
Published: August 2020

Abstract When Covid-19 emerged in December last year, there was no vaccine nor was there specific effective treatment for this fast-spreading and life-threatening viral respiratory infection. Clinical trials were planned and are in progress to investigate whether drugs used for influenza, HIV and other viruses, and also anthelmintics (ivermectin, nitazoxanide, niclosamide), and antimalarials (chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine) showing antiviral activity in in vitro assays, are effective and safe for Covid-19. So far there is no convincing evidence that these antiviral and antiparasitic drugs are of any benefit for Covid-19. Notwithsanding the absence of evidence of clinical efficacy, these drugs are widely used outside of clinical trials (off label) for prophylaxis and treatment of this viral infection. The rationale behind the prescription of macrolide antibiotics (azithromycin) for Covid-19 is obscure as well. The widespread prescription and use of drugs of unproven efficacy and safety for Covid-19 is at odds with the rational use of medicines, a cornerstone principle of pharmacotherapy advanced by WHO in 1985. This irrational use of drugs is cause for concern because some of them are associated with serious heart disorders and deaths.

Published: August 2020

Abstract At the end of 2019, the outbreak of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. The outbreak spread quickly to several countries, becoming a public health emergency of international interest. Without a vaccine or antiviral drugs, control measures are necessary to understand the evolution of cases. Here, we report through spatial analysis the spatial pattern of the COVID-19 outbreak. The study site was the State of São Paulo, Brazil, where the first case of the disease was confirmed. We applied the Kernel Density to generate surfaces that indicate where there is higher density of cases and, consequently, greater risk of confirming new cases. The spatial pattern of COVID-19 pandemic could be observed in São Paulo State, in which its metropolitan region standed out with the greatest cases, being classified as a hotspot. In addition, the main highways and airports that connect the capital to the cities with the highest population density were classified as medium density areas by the Kernel Density method.It indicates a gradual expansion from the capital to the interior. Therefore, spatial analyses are fundamental to understand the spread of the virus and its association with other spatial data can be essential to guide control measures.

Resumo A pandemia da “novel coronavirus disease” 2019 (COVID-19), infecção causada pelo coronavírus 2 da síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS-CoV-2), tem descortinado uma realidade até então oculta: a vulnerabilidade da população residente em instituições de longa permanência para idosos (ILPI). Diversas publicações científicas têm revelado a concentração de até 60% dos óbitos atribuídos à COVID-19 em tais instituições. A maioria dos residentes em ILPI reúnem os principais fatores de risco para morbimortalidade pela COVID-19, o que torna imprescindível a definição de ações voltadas à prevenção da transmissibilidade do SARS-CoV-2 neste ambiente, além das medidas usuais de distanciamento social e isolamento dos portadores da doença. Propõem-se, no presente artigo, estratégias de rastreamento da infecção em residentes e trabalhadores de ILPI por meio de testes laboratoriais disponíveis no Brasil. A identificação precoce de indivíduos portadores do SARS-CoV-2 com possibilidades de transmissão ativa e continuada do vírus permite a adoção de medidas que interrompam o ciclo de transmissão local da infecção.

Resumo O objetivo nesta pesquisa foi avaliar a intenção de amamentação de gestantes de alto risco e fatores relacionados. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quanti-qualitativo, com 1.118 gestantes de alto risco que realizaram pré-natal em centro especializado no Sistema Único de Saúde. As variáveis dependentes foram intenção de amamentação exclusiva, período pretendido e condições que poderiam interferir na amamentação. Para processamento dos dados, foram utilizados o software Epi Info 7.4.1, Bioestat 5.3 e IRAMUTEQ 0.7.2.0. Os resultados mostraram que 8,76% das gestantes apresentavam condições que poderiam afetar o aleitamento. A pretensão de amamentação exclusiva foi afirmada por 93,83%, sendo 69,86% até os seis meses, demonstrando associação com as variáveis sociodemográficas (p<0,05). O período pretendido para amamentar apresentou associação com idade (p=0,0041), estado civil (p=0,0053) e escolaridade (p=0,0116). Os principais motivos para a recusa da amamentação exclusiva foram os seguintes: HIV, uso de medicação, trabalho e falta de informação. Conclui-se que uma pequena parcela das gestantes de alto risco apresentava condições que poderiam interferir na amamentação. A maioria delas pretendiam amamentar exclusivamente no peito por um período de seis meses.

Neste artigo, analisamos a circulação de links desinformativos sobre a pandemia de Covid-19 no Twitter, a partir de um conjunto de 159.560 links coletados da API do Twitter entre os meses de março e julho de 2020. Através de um mapeamento da rede e da observação da vizinhança dos links e dos links mais compartilhados, observamos uma polarização e redução da circulação dos links de acordo com seu sentido (pró-hidroxicloroquina ou anti-hidroxicloroquina). Os resultados também apontam para uma maior atividade na divulgação de links pró-hidroxicloroquina, grupo onde também circula a maior quantidade de desinformação e de veículos hiperpartidários. Do mesmo modo, a circulação de veículos de mídia tradicional e institucionais é bastante reduzida neste grupo, fortalecendo a associação entre mídia hiperpartidária e desinformação.
Radiological parameters of bismuth oxide glasses using the Phy-X/PSD software
Authors: Akkurt Iskender , Tekin Huseyin Ozan
Published: August 2020

Radiation physics and dosimetry have recently been very popular in physics due to their extended utilizations in different scientific studies. This is important for radiation protection issues, particularly for gamma rays, as their shielding is more difficult than that of other radiation types. The radiation-shielding properties of any materials may be obtained by experimental work, but mostly, it is easy to predict these by using simulation codes. Monte Carlo simulation is a good way to predict some parameters, particularly when it is impossible to perform an experiment. Besides other materials, glasses are interesting materials, and it is vital to investigate their radiation-shielding properties. In the present study, some radiological parameters such as linear attenuation coefficients, mass attenuation coefficients, mean free path, half-value length, tenth value length, effective atomic number (Z eff), electron density (N eff), equivalent atomic number (Z eq), exposure build-up factor and fast neutron removal cross-section were calculated using the Phy-X/PSD code for waste soda–lime–silica-based glasses.

Many ovarian cancer ascites samples have a high proportion of CD45-expressing cells (>90%) (CD45+) and a low proportion (<10%) of malignant cells. In such cases, depletion of CD45+ immune cells can be used to increase the proportion of malignant cells, as well as other non-immune cell types, without relying on the expression of epithelial or tumor-specific markers. For the Human Tumor Atlas Pilot Project (HTAPP) this protocol was used to deplete CD45+ immune cells from single-cell suspensions obtained from ovarian cancer ascites,and is included as a step in the "HTAPP_Processing human ovarian cancer ascites to a single-cell suspension for single-cell RNA-seq" protocol, also available inprotocols.io. It is adapted from the CD45 MicroBeads MACS Separation protocol from Miltenyi Biotec (Cat No 130-045-801). Description of this protocol and guidance for testing and selecting methods for processing different tumor and sample types can be found inSlyper et al.
ELISA for quantification of IL-1 in human serum or plasma. v1
Authors: A Justiz-Vaillant Angel
Published: August 2020

Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion. They also have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary function of interleukins is, therefore, to modulate growth, differentiation, and activation during inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukins consist of a large group of proteins that can elicit many reactions in cells and tissues by binding to high-affinity receptors in cell surfaces. They have both paracrine and autocrine function. Interleukins are also used in animal studies to investigate aspect related to clinical medicine.[1] Macrophages, large granular lymphocytes, B cells, endothelium, fibroblasts, and astrocytes secrete IL-1. T cells, B cells, macrophages, endothelium and tissue cells are the principal targets. IL-1 causes lymphocyte activation, macrophage stimulation, increased leukocyte/endothelial adhesion, fever due to hypothalamus stimulation, and release of acute phase proteins by the liver. It may also cause apoptosis in many cell types and cachexia.[2] Reference 1. Zhu Z, Wang D, Jiao W, Chen G, Cao Y, Zhang Q, Wang J.

Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for measuring and collecting ecological data v3
Authors: Hufft Rebecca , Alba Christina , Sahud Amy
Published: August 2020

This protocol outlines the basic methods for measuring understory percent cover, soil moisture, tree canopy cover, and plant species richness, as well as for collecting plant specimens to be vouchered in the herbarium. These measurements estimate the abundance and presence of plant species in an area, and link them to environmental conditions (soil water and light availability) that may affect their distributions. Together, these data can reveal patterns in plant community or ecosystem processes. The understory percent cover measurements will be made using the line-point intercept method. In this method, a 25m transect is placed along the ground with a 25m by 1m belt transect to either side of it. Percent cover is measured along the transect, along with soil moisture and tree canopy cover. Plant richness is measured in the belt transect and the plant vouchering is done outside of the transect and belt transect area.

La inesperada expansión del nuevo coronavirus o COVID-19, al inicio del 2020, ha causado efectos alarmantes en todo el mundo, provocando la suspensión de diversas actividades económicas y sociales, entre ellas, los servicios bibliotecarios. Las bibliotecas públicas tuvieron que cerrar sus locales al decretarse el estado de emergencia en sus países y entrar en un periodo de confinamiento. Este panorama ha generado el extensivo uso de los servicios digitales en las bibliotecas para continuar laborando, hecho que se expone en este trabajo. Además, se indican algunas posturas de especialistas del ámbito bibliotecario latinoamericano con respecto a la situación actual. En el presente estudio se obtiene como resultado una problemática extendida en la que se indica que las bibliotecas públicas del Perú trabajan de “modo presencial” con limitados recursos, escaso personal especializado, ausencia de servicios digitales y sin visibilidad dentro de sus gobiernos locales; a pesar de esto, algunas bibliotecas han desarrollado diversas iniciativas en medio de esta pandemia. Por tanto, se muestra una serie de servicios que están brindando las bibliotecas públicas peruanas en respuesta a la crisis de la COVID-19; también se indican algunas reflexiones del ámbito bibliotecario del país y una serie de desafíos para un futuro próximo.
A study of speaking in tongues in Acts and 1 Corinthians and its use and abuse in some selected contemporary churches in Nigeria
Authors: Oyebowale Oyetade Michael
Published: August 2020

There are much confusion and controversy in our churches today about the phenomenon known as speaking in tongues. Some claim that the gift of speaking in tongues continues in our time as the Holy Spirit miraculously moves persons to speak in a language they had never learned. Other believers are convinced that the Scriptures leave no room for the continuation of that special gift beyond the founding era of the Apostolic church. To worsen it all pagans abound in such ecstatic utterances and are convinced they are from God. The objective of this paper is to investigate both the use and abuse of speaking in tongues. Historical and exegetical methods were used. Data were gathered through primary and secondary sources. The paper found out that speaking in tongues was miraculously used by God at Pentecost and in the earliest churches in the apostolic era. But there were distinguishing features that marked it out from the psychological phenomenon found among pagans. In our contemporary church in Nigeria, the only way to test the source is by comparison with what God explains in his word about the purpose and occasion for the legitimate manifestation.
Healing the female body
Authors: Dube Zorodzai
Published: August 2020

Using narrative, reader-response and social feminist approaches, the study takes a discourse analysis of looking into representations of female bodies within the Jewish-Christian healthcare and Greek Hippocratic healthcare and how such surface in the representation of female bodies in Mark’s healing stories. The study finishes by looking into comparable biases found in some African communities. The gospel of Mark contains some of the early Christian memory concerning Jesus as folk healer and this study selects narratives in the gospel of Mark whereby Jesus dealt with illness pertaining female patients. Instead of dealing with all narratives whereby Jesus healed a female patient, the focus will be on the story concerning the healing of Simon’s mother-in-law and the story concerning the haemorrhaging woman. The underlying question is – what were the socio-cultural ideas concerning the female body and how do such ideas surface in the healing stories? The study hypothesises that, besides being stories that reveal Jesus’ Christological powers or power as folk healer, the healing stories are site to investigate social cultural frameworks concerning illness and gender.
The Bible and gender equality in church leadership in Tanzania
Authors: Kategile Mary L
Published: August 2020

Since the arrival of Christianity in Africa, the Bible has been received well by Africans. It has become the canon in most spheres of life. For women, especially, the Bible was and still is the book of hope and courage. It is the source of hope and courage to whatever situations women experience. Women find the message of Jesus appealing because it provides them equal status with men and new avenues of religious service. They sense that the gospel grants both women and men the opportunity to participate fully in the community of God’s new people. Since the Bible carries the good news, it is expected to transform cultures of believers and enhance gender equality in church leadership as well as other spheres of life. Therefore, this paper uses the liberal feminist theory to discuss gender equality in leadership in Tanzania by examining biblical, cultural, social and ecclesiastical perspectives.
Preaching the Trinity today
Authors: Deetlefs Johannes P
Published: August 2020

While the twentieth century has witnessed renewed interest in the doctrine of the Trinity, in their daily lives Christians are mostly unaffected by it. The reason for this lack of knowledge and the negligence of this vital Christian doctrine could be blamed partly on a lack of preaching the doctrine of the Trinity. Considering the fact that the doctrine of the Trinity is the distinguishing doctrine of the Christian faith, such neglect in the homiletical ministry of the church is truly lamentable. This article is aimed at discussing some of the possible reasons for this regrettable situation and offering some guidelines for preaching the Trinity. Considering the practical implications of this foundational Christian doctrine for the ecclesial community, as well as for society at large, the church can no longer afford the neglect of the preaching of the Trinity. While I am writing from within the South African context, the issues raised here are relevant to the church internationally.
anhypostasis and enhypostasis: Barth’s Christological method in view of Chalcedon – its nuance and complexity
Authors: Haley James P
Published: August 2020

Karl Barth departs from historical Protestant orthodoxy in his unique adoption of the dual formula anhypostasis and enhypostasis to explain the union of divine and human natures in the person of Jesus Christ. For Barth, these concepts help explain why the person of Jesus Christ must not be viewed statically in his being as the God-man, but dynamically in the event of God’s movement of grace towards humanity. As such, Barth applies these concepts in his analysis of the Chalcedon definition of the Jesus Christ who exists as one person with two natures. In so doing, Barth further develops Chalcedon’s definition of the two natures of Christ based upon the hypostatica unio. Not only must Chalcedon be interpreted through the revelation of God in Jesus Christ as event, but also event in the union of this human essence as the Son of Man as it participates in the divine essence. For Barth, the emphasis is not the combining of divine and human essence into one being, but that the eternal Christ has taken to himself human essence as the one Reconciler.

missional appropriation of human trafficking for the sex-work industry
Authors: Kotze Peter , Niemandt Cornelius JP
Published: August 2020

This article explores the possibility of the involvement of the ecumenical church in addressing the complex issue of sex trafficking. It is done through a glocal theological theory built on missional theology and social ethics as human trafficking is reinterpreted to be a theological issue which could lead to a life-giving mission. Research takes place within the transformative paradigm using a mixed-methods approach, and the theory and praxis are examined with the fullness of life, human dignity, hope, justice and healing in mind. As a destination for sex trafficking, empirical research was done in Rustenburg, South Africa, among victims and survivors, missional workers and church leaders, and experts in the field. This assisted the investigation into the viability and content of this theory. It is then argued that a missional appropriation based on hope, liberation and justice adds a new dimension to being church and leads to a transformative mission to victims.
rediscovery of spiritual practices within Protestantism
Authors: Marchinkowski George , De Villiers Pieter GR
Published: August 2020

In a first part this article investigates the older negative view of spiritual practices especially in Protestant contexts. It then spells out the reasons for the growing interest in and reappraisal of spiritual practices in recent times. This development reflects and confirms a special awareness of their powerful role in spiritual life and illuminates their nature and meaning. It further analyses how the growing interest in spiritual practices is a result of recognising their role in the spiritual heritage that empowered faith communities from earliest times and that are not restricted by and to confessional boundaries. The article, on the other hand, concludes with a discussion of the dynamic way in which spiritual practices are embedded in particular contexts within faith communities and, therefore, are also expressed in and through particular confessional characteristics.

Ruptures of the cervix during childbirth occur, according to the author's observations, more often perineal ruptures and their danger to a woman is much greater and more varied than the danger from perineal ruptures. Meanwhile, the damage itself is somehow neglected, and the operation of suture imposition is very little or later used by obstetricians or gynecologists.

TO THE ETHIOLOGY OF UTERINE RUPTURE
Authors: Beckman W.
Published: August 2020

Uterine rupture is one of the most dangerous birth accidents that an obstetrician can deal with. Despite the successful development of research on uterine ruptures in the last 15 years, we, unfortunately, are not yet in a position to foresee a rupture in every case. Only in cases that correspond to Bandl's theory can we really predict, under certain conditions, a break, although here, too, individual motives play an important role.
Rupture of the uterus from external violence
Authors: Hermonius A.
Published: August 2020

The author cites two cases that were in his observation. In the first case, it was about a healthy, well-built woman who had been married for 8 years. Her first eight pregnancies ended 5 miscarriages and 3 born on time, but still dead. The reason for this, in addition to significant anemia and lethargy of the uterus, the author thought to find syphilis in one of the parents, but the mother and her relatives did not present the slightest signs of syphilis, and the father denied any diseases of the genital organs, except for gonorrhea; however, the permission of the 9th pregnancy with a child with undoubted signs of syphilis proved its existence with the father.

While the number of studies related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is constantly growing, it is essential to provide a framework of modeling viral infections. Therefore, this review aims to describe the background presented by earlier used models for viral studies and an approach to design an “ideal” tissue model for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to the previous successful achievements in antiviral research and tissue engineering, combining the emerging techniques such as bioprinting, microfluidics, and organoid formation are considered to be one of the best approaches to form in vitro tissue models. The fabrication of an integrated multi-tissue bioprinted platform tailored for SARSCoV-2 infection can be a great breakthrough that can help defeat coronavirus disease in 2019.

Published: August 2020

L’histoire de la discipline infirmière démontre des efforts progressifs en vue de développer du savoir infirmier. Cet article cible la science infirmière en postulant qu’il s’agit d’une partie de la discipline infirmière et d’une partie du savoir de la discipline. Dans ce contexte, une attention particulière est portée aux théories en tant que produit de la science et elles seront situées dans l’avancement de la science infirmière. L’examen de la science infirmière et de son évolution s’inspire de deux visions de la structure du savoir de la discipline infirmière. L’étude de l’évolution de la discipline sur le plan scientifique est abordée en trois périodes. Cet examen est complété par les propositions de deux métathéoriciens se préoccupant des théories dans l’avancement du savoir. En conclusion, au-delà des différences de propositions au sujet du savoir scientifique et de son évolution, on voit qu’une structure du savoir joue un rôle durable.
SOLVABILITY OF A NONLOCAL PROBLEM WITH INTEGRAL CONDITIONS OF THE II KIND FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL HYPERBOLIC EQUATION
Authors: Kirichek V. A.
Published: August 2020

In this paper we consider a nonlocal problem with integral conditions of the II kind for one-dimensionalhyperbolic equation. Nonlocal conditions of the second kind differ in type of non-integral terms, that may contain traces of required solution and traces of derivatives. This difference turns out to be significant for choosing a method for investigating the solvability of the problem. In this work we consider the case whennonintegral terms are traces of required solution on boundary of the domain. To investigate the solvability of the problem we use method of reduction to the boundary problem for loaded equation. This method allowed us to define a generalized solution, to obtaim apriori estimates and to prove existence of unique generalized solution of the given problem.
СПРАВЕДЛИВІСТЬ ЯК ПРИНЦИП БАНКІВСЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

Published: August 2020

Досліджено особливості прояву принципу справедливості в механізмі правового регулювання відносин за участі комерційних банків і клієнтів — споживачів фінансових послуг. Зазначається, що однією з причин падіння довіри населення України до фінансових установ є недостатньо повно опрацьований правовий режим охорони та захисту прав слабкої сторони договірних правовідносин, до категорії яких належать клієнти банків. Це вказує на те, що справедливість наразі ще не набула повноти свого прояву в  правовому регулюванні банківської діяльності. Установлено незадовільний стан економічної та правової науки щодо рівня теоретичного обґрунтування справедливості як одного із принципів банківської діяльності.

Наведено конститутивні ознаки принципу справедливості, серед яких: рівність правових можливостей суб’єктів правовідносин, рівність дії правових вимог, рівність масштабу юридичної оцінки актів поведінки суб’єктів правовідносин.

Аналіз банківського законодавства України вказує на позитивну динаміку щодо запровадження в ньому системи правових норм, покликаних вирівняти дисбаланс між можливостями комерційних банків та їхніх клієнтів, що є свідченням прояву політичної волі законодавця стосовно поступового втілення принципу справедливості в національне банківське законодавство України.

Вказується на необхідність проведення в Україні послідовної та довготривалої просвітницької роботи з метою підвищення рівня економіко-правової грамотності населення. Одним із елементів такої роботи має стати популяризація правил ведення правового діалогу клієнтів — споживачів фінансових послуг з комерційними банками чи іншими фінансовими установами. Наголошується на потребі залучення до такої роботи представників економічної та правової науки.

Підбито підсумки про необхідність проведення спеціальних наукових досліджень щодо подальшого розроблення механізму правового регулювання банківської діяльності через призму дії принципу справедливості.

The article presents the modelling of structural transformations in the employment of the population by the algorithm: 1) forming a database and establishing the type of mathematical model; 2) identification of variables; 3) exploring the forms of correlation between factor features and the resulting variable; 4) parameterization of data; 5) drawing up the regression equation; 6) economic interpretation of the results, in particular, the calculation of elasticity coefficients; 8) validation of the model for adequacy (calculation of errors of approximation, correlation coefficients and determination); 9) validation of the model for statistical significance (Fisher criterion and Student’st-test); 10) forecasting: calculation of confidence intervals.

It is formed the statistical research base of the level dependence of the Ukrainian population employment (selected regions) on a number of factors (share of full-time workers with higher education in % to accounting number; growth rate of labor productivity; growth rate of average wages; capital investment index; coverage ratio). The research was made due to data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in the period of 2000—2016 in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions. The dynamics of growth of selected factors for each region for the period 2000—2016 is considered.

It is established and determined the economic and mathematical models of the level dependence of the Ukrainian population employment (region) on the influence of selected factors for Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Vinnitsa regions. The comparative analysis of the obtained results is carried out.

It is established that the determinants that influence the dynamics of employment growth for the industrial regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions are the factors reflecting the share of full-time employees with higher education, growth rate of labor productivity and the coefficient of export coverage.

The method of evaluation of the level of an enterprise financial security as a priority criterion of its economic activity is proposed in the article. It is established that the calculation of indices for evaluation the financial security of a company is mainly based on the financial statements. According to these financial documents, one or another factor is determined, from the ratio of which the indices of an enterprise financial condition are formed as the information basis for the quantification of the level of its financial security

It is proved that in the process of quantitative evaluation of an enterprise financial security level, it is necessary to use the methods of big data analysis. It is proposed to use the Monte Carlo simulation method as the most adaptive to such problems and common among the methods of quantitative estimation of economic processes, the model of which is based on the generation of values consisting of random variables, over which a series of experiments are conducted in order to detect the influence of the initial data on the dependent variables. It is substantiated that the use of the Monte Carlo method allows not only to determine the probability of a future level of an enterprise financial security, but also to obtain the assessment of the deviation risk of certain indices of the financial condition from the established limits of normative values and to identify possible threats to the financial security of an enterprise.

It is proved that the analysis of the results of quantitative evaluation of an enterprise financial security level is the basis for making sound management decisions on optimization its financial risks and achievement the financial stability of an enterprise
