In modern Ukrainian reality languages ​​in a drop of water, and often - it is not a drop of water, but of living human blood, reflect those processes that threaten the existence of all mankind. But - history loves paradoxes - reflected also those processes that humanity can save. The idea of ​​a world-known Ukrainian-Polish christo-traditions of philosophizing, Russian, according to the language of works, of the writer F. M. Dostoyevsky, about the "world's sensitivity" to Ukrainians is directly, obviously, as described by him as a Christo-successional, Christ-centric, Sophian Ukrainian being, which had previously remained in the shadow of the empires and their global ambitions and appetites, tragically emerging from the forefront of world history in 2014, clearly demonstrated the true avant-garde of Ukrainians in quiet, non-aggressive advocacy rystyyanskoyi truth.

Religious Freedom: Moscow Patriarchate as Catalyst for Conflict of Identity in Orthodoxy of Ukraine
Authors: Sagan Oleksandr N.
Published: December 2018

State-church relations in Ukraine are regulated by one of the best in Europe, the Law of Ukraine "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations". However, this law can not solve the problem of confrontation between the Moscow and Kiev Orthodox patriarchates in our country, as this confrontation has gone beyond the religious conflict and, in fact, is an external expression of ideological and civilizational choice (tolerance of values) of Orthodox believers.

Published: December 2018

The problems of the establishment of the Service of Chaplains in the Armed Forces, the National Guard and other military formations of Ukraine in the context of the war with Russia have their own peculiarities and differences. The destabilizing role of the Moscow Patriarchate, in the jurisdiction of which is the vast majority of Orthodox communities in Ukraine, creates critical threats for the Ukrainian State. In order to effectively organize the operation of the Ukrainian Chaplain Service, to mobilize the entire potential of the Ukrainian nation and to absorb global experience, in particular the armies of NATO member states, in order to provide spiritual, humanitarian and patriotic education, and moral and combat and psychological training of Ukrainian soldiers, it is necessary to mobilize the Ukrainian nation.
Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as an Object of the Eastern Policy of the Vatican in the Context of Catholic-Orthodox Relations
Authors: Yarotskiy Petro
Published: December 2018

Until the mid-twentieth century, the Catholic Church did not recognize the principle of religious freedom, and hence the freedom of conscience. That is why her attitude to other religions, especially Christian churches, was based on the ecclesial and soteriological exclusivism "Extra Ecclesiam Romanam nulla salus" - "Out of the Roman Church there is no salvation." The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) approved the "Decree on Religious Freedom", which opened the way for dialogue with other religions and ecumenism with Christian churches, especially the Orthodox.

Authors: Buchma Oleg
Published: December 2018

Freedom as the ability to act in accordance with its own interests, needs, goals determines not only existing (present), but also future socio-legal reality and defines in it the place of a person. Guaranteed and secured by positive law the possibility of realizing subjective law is the main indicator of democracy, civilization, and humanity of the state. Conversely, the restriction, negation or restriction of rights and freedoms, in particular legal means, creates the ground for the destruction of the state, and at the same time society deprives the future.

Published: December 2018

Beekeeping has been used as a meaning of increasing income for farmers in the Zona da Mata Sul in the state of Paraíba. This activity received financial support through the Solidarity Productive Projects Support Program (PAPPS) through Solidarity Rotating Funds, financed by the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), also by SENAES, as well as Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB), a policy of solidary finance to "lost fund", in which the beekeeper receives the fund and has as fundamental element the investment in the beekeeping activity. The central objective of this study is to investigate possibilities of sustainable development of the territory with beekeeping that receives public resources. The research methodology is qualitative, based on field research, on-site observations and in-depth interviews, more precisely between the Tambaba and Nova Vida settlements. With the arrival of the Solidarity Rotating Fund, this activity had its rise and, in this perspective, we had as a central objective to verify possibilities of local territorial sustainable development from the beekeeping as an alternative of income production, through this public policy. The Beekeepers Cooperative of Paraíba (COOAP) received this fund and invested among beekeepers - a fund called "lost fund" because it is not returned to the bank, but must be redistributed among beekeepers.

Mosquitoes are vectors of many pathogens which causes serious human diseases like Malaria, Filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Yellow fever and Zika virus which constitute a major public health problem globally. Mosquito borne diseases cause high level of economic impact all over the world and result in millions of death every year. They infect around 700,000,000 people annually worldwide and 40,000,000 only in India. The continuous use of synthetic pesticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance, toxic effect on human health, environmental pollution and addition to these, its adverse effects can be observed on non-target organisms. Synthetic chemical pesticides have been proved to be effective, but overall in last 5 decades indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides against vector borne disease control have originated several ecological issues due to their residual accumulation and development of resistance in target vectors and their chronic effects.
Silk Proteins in Drug Delivery: An Overview
Authors: Dutta Dishari , Hossain Chowdhury Mobaswar , Biswas Avijit
Published: December 2018

Primarily Silk is classified as Mulberry silk (collected from Bombyx mori) and Non-Mulberry silk (collected from sources other than Bombyx mori). Whilst Mulberry silk has gained its importance in biomedical application due to superior biocompatibility and biodegradable properties when compared to synthetic protologues; such edge cutting popularity is quite new among Non-Mulberry variant. Silk proteins namely Sericin and Fibroin, are reported to have been employed in tissue engineering and drug delivery owing to its biocompatibility, slow biodegradability, self-assembly, excellent mechanical properties and controllable structure and morphology. Silk is less inﬂammatory than other common biodegradable polymers. Fibroin is the fibre used in textile and biomedical devices whereas Sericin is glue like material which binds the fibres together. The fibroin is further divided into two, based on the molecular weights of chains of amino acid. Sericin, being the glue-like material and constitute the part of silk which was generally washed away during extraction of fibroin used as textile material. Researchers have reported that Sericin do not produce immunogenic responses unless associated with fibroin. The review focuses on silk proteins and its utility in drug delivery.

The main purpose of development pharmaceutical dosage form is to find out the in vivo and in vitro behavior of dosage form. This challenge is overcome by implementation of in-vivo and in-vitro correlation. Application of this technique is economical and time saving in dosage form development. It shortens the period of development dosage form as well as improves product quality. IVIVC reduce the experimental study on human because IVIVC involves the in vivo relevant media utilization in vitro specifications. The key goal of IVIVC is to serve as alternate for in vivo bioavailability studies and serve as justification for bio waivers. IVIVC follows the specifications and relevant quality control parameters that lead to improvement in pharmaceutical dosage form development in short period of time.
Recently in-vivo in-vitro correlation (IVIVC) has found application to predict the pharmacokinetic behaviour of pharmaceutical preparations. It has emerged as a reliable tool to find the mode of absorption of several dosage forms. It is used to correlate the in-vitro dissolution with in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. IVIVC made use to predict the bioavailability of the drug of particular dosage form. IVIVC is satisfactory for the therapeutic release profile specifications of the formulation. IVIVC model has capability to predict plasma drug concentration from in vitro dissolution media.

Published: December 2018

The nanostructured polymer-fullerene thin film is one of the most prominent materials to make the hybrid bulk heterojunction solar cell (BHJ) with high conversion efficiency. Especially when the blend of P3HT and PCBM was used as the donor and acceptor materials. The properties of P3HT and PCBM layer in solar cell has been much studied and considered as high performance systems. One of the important factors for the high performance device is the fabrication  of photo active layer with the appropriate thickness and morphology. In the ideal case, the intermolecular distance between the polymer and fullerene should be approximately 10-20 nm (the exciton diffusion distance) giving an area of extensive contact between the two phases. After the dissociation of carriers, the two polymer phases should create the path way for carriers to reach electrodes. But so far, this ideal configuration has not been published. In this work, we’ve elaborated the P3HT and PCBM photo active layers by spin coating methodon glass substrates covered ITO electrode. The rotational velocity was determined to get the necessary effective thickness of the polymer film. The annealing effect on structure, optical and electrical properties of the polymer thin film with different content of PCBM were also investigated. The experiments show the best device on electrode ITO has I-V characteristic as a photodiode and short circuit current (Isc) aboutmili-Ampere. These results demonstrate convincingly that polymer layers elaborated by spin coating method can result a good performance of the device.

Arbitration agreement or service contract on dispute resolution
Authors: Thien Le Nguyen Gia
Published: December 2018

Arbitration agreement plays a vital role in arbitral proceedings, because the absence of arbitration agreement will lead to the invalidity of arbitral proceedings. Firstly, arbitration agreement figures out the name and type of the arbitration mechanism, then it clarifies parties’ requirements relating to the arbitration procedure including substantive law for the merit, procedural law for the arbitration proceedings, language of arbitration, number of arbitrators in the tribunal, locality of arbitration etc. In its essence, arbitration agreement not only describes the parties’ autonomy but also serves as a service contract (service contract on dispute resolution), accordingly arbitration organ will supply service on dispute resolution for parties. Unlike normal service contracts, autonomies of parties in service contract on dispute resolution, which indicates that arbitration organ is the service supplier, are established in two divergent stages. In the event of specific circumstances, although arbitration agreement has validity, the arbitration organ can refuse to become a service supplier.

Forecasting Value at Risk: Evidence from Emerging Economies in Asia
Authors: Thanh Le Trung , Ngan Nguyen Thi , Nghia Hoang Trung
Published: December 2018

In this paper, various Value-at-Risk techniques are applied to stock indices of 9 Asian emerging financial markets. The results from our selected models are then backtested by Unconditional Coverage, Independence, Joint Tests of Unconditional Coverage and Independence and Basel tests to ensure the quality of Value-at-Risk (VaR) estimates. The main conclusions are: (1) Timevarying volatility is the most important characteristic of stock returns when modelling VaR; (2) Financial data is not normally distributed, indicating that the normality assumption of VaR is not relevant; (3) Among VAR forecasting approaches, the backtesting based on in- and out-of-sample evaluations confirms its superiority in the class of GARCH models; Historical Simulation (HS), Filtered Historical Simulation (FHS), RiskMetrics and Monte Carlo were rejected because of its underestimation (for HS and RiskMetrics) or overestimation (for the FHS and Monte Carlo); (4) Models under student’s t and skew student’s t distribution are better in taking into account financial data’s characters; and (5) Forecasting VaR for futures index is harder than for stock index. Moreover, results show that there is no evidence to recommend the use of GARCH (1,1) to estimate VaR for all markets. In practice, the HS and RiskMetrics are popularly used by banks for large portfolios, despite of its serious underestimations of actual losses. These findings would be helpful for financial managers, investors and regulators dealing with stock markets in Asian emerging economies.
On some nonlinear dependence structure in portfolio design
Authors: Son Nguyen Phuc , Uyen Pham Hoang , Thien Nguyen Dinh
Published: December 2018

Constructing portfolios with high returns and low risks is always in great demand. Markowitz (1952) utilized correlation coefficients between pairs of stocks to build portfolios satisfying different levels of risk tolerance. The correlation coefficient describes the linear dependence structure between two stocks, but cannot capture a lot of nonlinear independence structures. Therefore, sometimes, portfolio performances are not up to investors' expectations. In this paper, based on the theory of copula by Sklar (see [19]), we investigate several new methods to detect nonlinear dependence structures. These new methods allow us to estimate the density of the portfolio which leads to calculations of some popular risk measurements like the value at risk (VaR) of investment portfolios. As for applications, making use of the listed stocks on the Ho Chi Minh city Stock Exchange (HoSE), some Markowitz optimal portfolios are constructed together with their risk measurements. Apparently, with nonlinear dependence structures, the risk evaluations of some pairs of stocks have noticeable twists. This, in turn, may lead to changes of decisions from investors.

AbstractIn the midst of highly rapid social changes, currently the PTAIs /IAINs are facing various problems. On one hand, the PTAIs / IAINs are in crucial period of their development, while on the other hand, the PTAIs are also at the intersection between: 1) various scientific traditions, 2) state and civil society, and, 3) science and religious education and general studies. Therefore, in the face of these issues, PTAI must seek to respond to the existing challenges and the need to reformulate a new paradigm in accordance with the needs of society, which rest on three main pillars, namely independency in management or autonomy, accountability and quality assurance, and with reference to the Three Responsibilities of Higher Education: education / teaching, community service and research. This paper tries to describe how PTAI provides efforts in response to changes in the surrounding and any attempt to do by PTAI in accordance with the global market demands while characterizing the Islamic professionalism. AbstrakDi tengah perubahan sosial masyarakat yang begitu cepat, saat ini PTAI/IAIN dihadapkan pada berbagai persoalan. Satu sisi PTAI/IAIN berada pada periode sangat menentukan dalam perkembang­annya; sementara di lain pihak PTAI juga berada pada titik temu antara: 1) berbagai tradisi ilmiah, 2) negara dan masyarakat sipil, dan, 3) ilmu pengetahuan dan pendidikan agama serta ilmu pengeta­huan umum. Oleh karena itu, dalam menghadapi persoalan tersebut, PTAI mesti berupaya merespon tantangan yang ada dan perlunya mereformulasikan kembali paradigma baru sesuai kebutuhan ma­syarakat yang bertumpu pada tiga pilar utama, yaitu kemandirian dalam pengelolaan atau otonomi, akuntabilitas (accuntability) dan jaminan mutu (quality assurance), serta dengan mengacu kepada Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi yaitu: pendidikan/pengajaran, pengabdian masyarakat dan penelitian. Tulisan ini berusaha mendeskripsikan bagaimana upaya PTAI dalam merespon perubahan yang terjadi sekitarnya dan upaya apa saja yang harus dilakukan PTAI sesuai dengan tuntutan pasar global dan tetap mencirikan profesionalitas keislaman-nya.
Potensi Intoleransi Keagamaan Siswa Sekolah Di Jawa Dan Sulawesi
Authors: Tholkhah Imam
Published: December 2018

This particular writing describes research upon the interest of students towards religious education and a developing potency for intolerance in public and religious schools. The research indicates that the students show a rather high interest towards religious teaching in schools. Teachers still can make religious teachings attractive. On the other hand, a minor amount of students still appear to be less interested in religious teachings. The minority stated that this is because of the monotonic and unattractive ways in which the teacher in conveys the information. Fortunately, the majority of the students continue to apply a high level of tolerance to religious teachings. This fact shows that religious teachers are still capable of teaching religious education that is relevant to the national education standards. However, there still remain students who lack tolerance towards religious teaching.  There  are  indications  that  they  provide  support  towards  groups  who  apply  discrimination,  lack  of respect, and intolerance to other groups with different practices or religion. Even though the level of intolerant students is low, the fact that it could expand remains possible, so precaution is still needed. If this particular potential for expansion is taken lightly, it may become a threat towards the nation because it has a potential to be a source of religious conflict. The development of multicultural understanding and tolerance in public or religious schools is one way to resolve this problem. Tulisan ini merupakan temuan penelitian yang menggambarkan minat siswa terhadap pendidikan agama dan potensi intoleransi keagamaan siswa yang berkembang di sekolah dan madrasah. Temuan itu menunjukkan bahwa minat siswa terhadap pendidikan agama sangat tinggi. Dan para gurupun masih menyampaikan pendidikan agama dengan menarik. Sebagian kecil siswa kurang berminat mempelajari agama. Mereka mengatakan metode mengajar guru agama tidak menarik atau membosankan. Mayoritas siswa di sekolah memiliki pandangan keagamaan yang toleran. Fakta ini menunjukkan bahwa guru agama mampu mengajarkan pendidikan agama sesuai dengan standar nasional pendidikan. Hanya saja terdapat sebagian siswa yang memiliki potensi intoleransi keagamaan. Di antara indikasinya adalah mereka memberikan dukungan pada kelompokkelompok yang berprilaku diskriminatif, tidak memberikan penghargaan, tidak menghendaki eksistensi pihak lain yang memiliki paham atau aliran keagamaan berbeda. Meskipun jumlah siswa yang intoleran minoritas di sekolah, pertumbuhan potensi intoleransi ini perlu dicegah, agar tidak berkembang luas. Kalau potensi ini dibiarkan berkembang, maka lama kelamaan dapat menjadi sumber konflik keagamaan yang dapat mengancam persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa. Di antara cara mencegahnya adalah melalui pengembangan wawasan multikultural dan pengembangan budaya toleransi di sekolah dan madrasah.
