International organizations identify the problem of using international trade systems for money laundering and terrorist financing. Customs authorities play an important role in the fight against such crimes. They have deep knowledge of the international trade sphere and exclusive access to international trade documents; trading systems for money laundering and terrorist financing. The purpose of the article is to study foreign experience regarding the participation of customs authorities in the fight against money laundering with the determination of the possibility of its implementation in Ukraine. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, comparison. The work analyzes the structure and scope of powers of customs authorities of foreign countries (USA and Germany). It was determined that the structure of the customs service depends on the most problematic areas for each country. Examples of cooperation between customs authorities and financial intelligence units in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (Belgium, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Peru) are given. The state of reforming the customs sphere in Ukraine is assessed, taking into account the current state of war. The current stage of development of customs authorities in Ukraine is characterized by the implementation of European practices and legislation. The role of the State Customs Service of Ukraine in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing has been determined. Proposals are made to increase the effectiveness of information exchange between the State Customs Service of Ukraine and the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine. The expediency of creating functional groups, which would include the most trained employees in the field of money laundering and terrorist financing, has been proven. Their duties should include: control and analytical activities aimed at detecting and preventing crimes related to the legalization of income; transfer of information about suspicious transactions to the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Terletska Viktoria
Published: February 2023

The climate crisis, along with the loss of biodiversity, is the biggest challenge the world is facing. The increase in global average temperatures has a significant impact on the climate, so the EU countries strive to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem services, to become a world leader in the conservation and restoration of nature in the next decade. In the environmental document "EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030: Bringing nature back into our lives" (COM (2020) 380 final), the European Commission appealed to the European Parliament and intergovernmental institutions of the European Union to achieve a number of global goals set by the European Green Deal and the UN Framework Convention on biodiversity protection. In the development of the green economy, Ukraine has obligations regarding biodiversity within the framework of the Association Agreement with the European Union. The need to use environmentally friendly transport in Ukraine is determined by the global trends of transition to electric vehicles and the current ecological situation in the country. According to World Health Organization, Ukraine ranks first in the world in terms of air pollution deaths per 100,000 people. The article researched, analyzed and substantiated the relevance of the development of the "green" economy in Ukraine in the direction of the functioning of venture structures for the electric car market. The main objectives of the biodiversity strategy of the European Union are highlighted. The task and purpose of the "green" economy as an important component of the social, economic and ecological development of the state is presented. The goals of the European Green Course and the European Climate Pact were studied, and the main obligations of Ukraine were analyzed. Features of the functioning of venture structures, such as business incubators and business accelerators, are presented, and their important role in the development of startups is investigated. The role and significance of electric vehicles as environmentally friendly transport is defined. The role of venture capital structures as accelerators of Ukraine's development has been studied.

The purpose of the article is to consider the scientific and methodological foundations of the formation of the resource potential of agrarian business entities in the conditions of inclusive development. The study is dedicated to the comprehensive study of the formation of the resource potential of enterprises of the agroindustrial complex in the conditions of an inclusive economy as one of the factors of sustainable development. Solving the task of stabilizing and further increasing production in the agricultural sector requires improving the use of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises, since the real possibilities of increasing the industry's resources are far from unlimited. The principles of interdisciplinarity and systematicity were the methodological basis, which made it possible to consider the phenomena studied from different angles as a single whole consisting of interdependent components. It was determined that the resources of agricultural production are a complex, integrated system that connects groups of material and non-material resources that differ in their characteristics, allowing to obtain results through the creation of agricultural products. It was established that not only material, but also non-material resources determine the capabilities of agrarian business entities and have a significant impact on the efficiency of their functioning. The structure of the enterprise's resource potential is revealed, the factors that determine the formation and functioning of resource provision in the conditions of inclusive development are established. In this regard, complexity and systematicity are leading characteristics of resource potential. It has been established that several main components of the resource potential can be identified as the basis of the inclusive development of the economy: natural resource potential, labor, entrepreneurial, material, investment, financial, informational, scientific and technological potential. The formation of the resource potential of agrarian business entities takes place in accordance with certain principles: environmental friendliness and environmental security, technology, reliability, universality and comfort of technical means, economy and energy saving, complex mechanization, automation and computerization.

Changes have been made in migratory flows and obligations in the aftermath of combat operations in Ukraine. The vectors of migration from Ukraine to the Ukrainian world are analyzed. The negative consequences of the disruption of the labor potential of Ukraine through the transformational disruption of the work force were identified. The main warehouse elements of the labor potential were established, which should be recognized in the flow, and the nature of their changes was analyzed. The economic development of the country is affected by the consequences of the armed conflict of any level, and a separate direction of influence should be the departure of the workforce from the territory of employment and the country in general, losses among the civilian population, professional and qualification disparities. Conclusions were made about the existence of a problem of loss of value of human potential in Ukraine, which is not being solved and is only deepening over time. The results and conclusions of individual studies conducted on the basis of local conflicts in the countries of the world are already outdated in many aspects today and significantly differ from the impact of modern conflicts. In connection with the short-term period of the military work on the territory of Ukraine, we can practically speak about the number of publications in this direction directly, and they are more in such a short time directly, as they have invested in the labor potential of the state. Singing peace may be a place for research, and those are more scientific and journalistic in nature, or analytical looking at the obvious statistical data of international organizations, in part of migration processes. It can be stated that the appeals are directly closed. Although internal migration during conflict increases employment in certain regions, however, the negative impact on the national economy remains due to the loss of jobs within the state due to casualties or emigration. It has been foreseen that turning to the pre-war level the development of the labor potential will require a great deal of time, a significant investment in that special system of organizational and structural approaches, and the deacists spend it on a pity to become irrevocable and non-returnable.
MODELS OF RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLOBAL GREEN ECOSYSTEM
Authors:   http://visnyk-onu.od.ua/journal/2022_27_3/7.pdf, Chala Veronika
Published: February 2023

The article emphasizes the steady increase in the scale of global consumption of goods and services due to the rapid increase in the value of household wealth in all regions of the world. Accordingly, a contradiction between the constantly growing needs of global consumers and the inability of available resources to satisfy them has been arising. The author believes that the mentioned contradiction can be effectively resolved solely based on the greening of public consumption and the mass introduction of models of responsible consumption into consumer relations. The article describes the main existing models of responsible consumption. First, the author notes the increasing orientation of the global consumer towards the joint (collective) consumption of goods, the formation and development of the "sharing economy". As another model of responsible consumption, the practices of minimization of solid household waste by consumers and their transition to sorting garbage and separate methods of its disposal have been analyzed. The special importance of the development of such a model of responsible consumption as an increasing orientation of economic subjects towards the consumption of ecologically clean goods and healthy food has been proven. An assessment of such trends has been made in the article. In the comprehensive description of models of responsible consumption, the author focuses on such a direction as the refusal of consumers from single-use packaging of purchased goods in favor of its economical options, as well as reusable and ecological packaging. Accordingly, the author also analyzes the trend of the transition of world production to ecological packaging, with the introduction of the system of extended producer responsibility. The author evaluates the trend of consumption of durable goods as another effective model of responsible consumption. The author believes that extended responsibility of manufacturers implies their responsibility not only for the design, production and market sale of manufactured goods, but also for the safe handling of their packaging waste throughout the entire product life cycle.
THE ROLE OF THE RESOURCE BASE IN PROVIDING THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRC’S EURASIAN STRATEGY

Published: February 2023

The rise of China is one of the key trends in contemporary world politics. New China is not only a political and economic, but also an intellectual challenge. Today, the role and place of the PRC in international relations is one of the most popular topics in international discourse. Along with the general issues and problems of the “China in International Relations” bloc, certain regional directions of Beijing’s foreign policy are being actively studied and rethought. On the one hand, the idea of the goals and objectives of the external course of the state makes it possible to go deeper into the analysis of its regional directions. On the other hand, an integrated approach to the role of a particular region in the country’s foreign policy makes it possible to more accurately determine its place in the international arena. This judgment is also true in relation to China. In the context of the accelerated transformation of Chinese foreign policy, fixing trends in its individual areas is an important and at the same time difficult task. The Eurasian Strategy of the PRC is a large strategy proposed by China, based on the construction of the internal and external environment. Its main content is political communication, communication between objects, unhindered trade, financial cooperation and communication between people. This was of great importance for the participating countries. This article analyzes the theoretical and practical prerequisites for creating a strategy and examines its content in detail. Analyzing the available information, its significance lies not only in ensuring China’s economic security, social stability, economic development and response to the global situation. Through this strategy, China has contributed to profound changes in countries, and has also helped countries along the Belt and Road route to increase trade, invest, build infrastructure, and overcome poverty. China’s role in world and regional politics has grown significantly over the past few years, but Beijing’s future strategy is not clear and is the subject of fierce debate. As a reflection on the part of the scientific community, one can see, in particular, the growing interest in China-centered projects of the world order, attempts to find answers to questions about the future of Chinese foreign policy in traditional philosophical concepts. An analysis of the real state of affairs in China is significantly complicated by the weak permeability of the Chinese political space and the desire of the CPC leadership to limit the debate in Chinese society in every possible way.

The article defines the phenomenon of international capital movement, examines its trends and current state in the conditions of incomplete recovery from the pandemic and after the start of the war in Ukraine. The authors describe the reasons that encourage countries to export capital, describe its main characteristics and influencing factors. It was concluded that the most profitable way of financing is financing with the help of direct foreign investments. It is also stated that the international movement of capital is characterized by periodic volatility, various periodic trends and structural changes. The historical prerequisites of the current state of the international movement of capital are also investigated. In particular, the historical periods in the 20th century, when there were changes in the direction of capital movement on a global scale, are highlighted and the reasons for such changes are substantiated. It was found that immediately after the war, investments were made mainly in the countries of Western Europe, and starting from the mid-80s, these countries themselves became large exporters of capital. The article emphasizes the difference in capital flows of the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries, when information was added to the traditional factors of production and new types of highly mobile capital appeared, moving only at a higher rate of profit. It is also stated that the movement of capital today is affected by the transition of the economy of developed countries to the post-industrial stage of economic development, which leads to the restructuring of the international division of labor and the expansion of scientific and technical cooperation. The authors also assessed the trends towards the recovery of direct foreign investment in the world after the pandemic and the prospects of an economic recession as a result of the war in Ukraine. It is noted that in 2021 the investment sector has fully recovered after the pandemic (especially in developed countries), but it is expected to slow down due to military actions in Ukraine, because the first signs of a threatening recession are already visible, which will most likely accelerate the decline in investment.

Objective: To evaluate the associativity in groups of vegetable producers from six municipalities of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, through an analysis of the attributes that are established to measure whether or not there is associativity, under the assumption that associativity is high in the analyzed communities. Economic globalization transforms the behavior of people and their values, devaluing the national identity of associative work.
Design/methodology/approach: The study was carried out in the region of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, in two phases: the first, documentary research on the theoretical approaches of associativity; the second, with field questionnaires, for which six municipalities were selected to represent vegetable producers.
Results: The results show the absence of associativity in the production of vegetables.
Limitations on study/implications: The number of the sample is within the limitations, so by expanding the number of municipalities the probability of association would be higher.
Findings/conclusions: The conclusion is that the increase in productivity and income and the reduction of production costs would favor the continuity of vegetable production and associativity would be promoted with this.

Objective: to analyze the mediating effect of a healthy lifestyle on the mental health of participants in a Virtual Health Fair, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Cross-sectional of 1,029 people aged 18 years and over. The Virtual Health Fair was organized as a tridimensional, and data were collected through a link on Google Forms, containing the sociodemographic data form, the Eight Natural Remedies Questionnaire (Q8RN), and the Common Mental Disorders questionnaire (SRQ-20). A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed. Results: Most participants were female (69%; n= 729), married (53.5%; n= 565), of higher education (43.2%; n= 458), and Adventist in religious affiliation (56.7%; n=597). On average, lifestyle was categorized as good by the Q8RN score (mean 56.61; SD 11.59), with a deficiency in the practice of exercise (5.87; 4.02). The Body Mass Index (BMI) was overweight on average (mean 26.02; SD 5.24). A prevalence of common mental disorders was 30.2% based on the SRQ-20 questionnaire. Conclusion: Results indicated that BMI, age, education, and religion had a strong protective effect (62%, p<0.05) for common mental disorders, mediated by healthy lifestyle. A better lifestyle, through the eight natural remedies, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, mediated the protective effects of lower BMI, older age, and Adventist religion on common mental disorders. The practice of healthy habits should be encouraged in promoting mental health during the current and future pandemics.
Normative or Non-Normative Marx: How is a Fact-Sensitive Normative Theory Possible?
Authors: Li Zhi , Liu Jiaxin
Published: February 2023

Is it possible for historical materialism to have a specific normative basis that allows the scientific aspects of Marx’s theory to be compatible with his political philosophy and ethics? No consensus has so far been reached on this question. The debate between the normative Marx and the non -normative Marx starts with an acknowledgement of a dichotomy between facts and value. In order to resolve this dichotomy, many studies tend to place value rather than facts at the heart of their arguments – they attempt to demonstrate that Marx explored issues of justice, equality, and liberty at the normative level. However, by drawing on John R. Searle’s answer to the Humean question of ‘is’ and ‘ought’, we can adopt a different approach to the study that puts facts, rather than values, at the heart of the argument. Under this approach, Marx’s analysis of the facts of estrangement, surplus-value, and the like, does not consist of factual statements that exclude value and the scientific theories that result from them. Rather, it consists of the statement of institutional facts that contain values. In Marx’s case, a fact-sensitive normative theory is fully possible.
Early-life exposure to di (2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate: Role in children with endocrine disorders
Authors: Zeng Fa , Zhang Luodan , Deng Fang , Lou Shuiping
Published: February 2023

Di (2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), has widespread concern due to its serious health hazards. Exposure to DEHP in the early stage of life affects fetal metabolic and endocrine function, which even would cause genetic lesions. To date, it is widely believed that the increasing incidence of childhood obesity and diabetes in adolescents is related to the impact of DEHP on glucose and lipid homeostasis in children. However, there remains a knowledge gap to recognize these adverse effects. Thus, in this review, besides the exposure routes and levels of DEHP, we further outline the effects of early-life exposure to DEHP on children and potential mechanisms, focusing on the aspect of metabolic and endocrine homeostasis.

In this work the continuous production of dimethyl ether (DME) by sorption-enhanced DME synthesis (SEDMES) technology has been demonstrated for the first time with a multi-column test-rig. A continuous single-pass carbon yield up to 95%, higher than ever reported before, has been achieved. The multi-column experiments have also shown that SEDMES can be operated at lower temperatures (220°C) than previously reported. This allows a higher temperature rise, making higher conversions possible while allowing even larger reactor tube diameters. Whereas the anticipated multi-tubular reactor concept is complex and costly, larger reactors could facilitate the economic valorisation. The SEDMES reactor model cannot only describe the transient behaviour of the process during the cyclic steady-state well, but also the dynamic approach towards the cyclic steady-state is adequately captured. Capturing the dynamic operation is of large interest with respect to process flexibility, especially for Power-to-X systems.
Mining the Protein Data Bank to inspire fragment library design

The fragment approach has emerged as a method of choice for drug design, as it allows difficult therapeutic targets to be addressed. Success lies in the choice of the screened chemical library and the biophysical screening method, and also in the quality of the selected fragment and structural information used to develop a drug-like ligand. It has recently been proposed that promiscuous compounds, i.e., those that bind to several proteins, present an advantage for the fragment approach because they are likely to give frequent hits in screening. In this study, we searched the Protein Data Bank for fragments with multiple binding modes and targeting different sites. We identified 203 fragments represented by 90 scaffolds, some of which are not or hardly present in commercial fragment libraries. By contrast to other available fragment libraries, the studied set is enriched in fragments with a marked three-dimensional character (download at 10.5281/zenodo.7554649).

Background and aims

The predictive value of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) for individual cardiovascular outcomes remained controversial in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the effects of GDF-15 on all-cause death, cardiovascular death, MI and stroke in CAD patients.

Methods

We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library and Web of Science till 30 December, 2020. Hazard ratios (HRs) were combined with fixed or random effect meta-analyses. Subgroup analyses were performed in different disease types. Sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the stability of the results. Publication bias was tested using funnel plots.

Results

A total of 10 studies with 49,443 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Patients with the highest GDF-15 concentrations had significantly increased risk of all-cause death (HR 2.24; 95% CI: 1.95–2.57), cardiovascular death (HR 2.00; 95% CI: 1.66–2.42), MI (HR 1.42; 95% CI: 1.21–1.66) after adjusting clinical characteristics and prognostic biomarkers (hs-TnT, cystatin C, hs-CRP, and NT-proBNP) but except for stroke (HR 1.43; 95% CI: 1.01–2.03, p = 0.05). For the outcome of all-cause death and cardiovascular death, subgroup analyses revealed consistent results. Sensitivity analyses showed that the results were stable. Funnel plots showed that there was no publication bias.

Conclusion

In CAD patients with elevated GDF-15 levels on admission, there were independently significant risks for all-cause death and cardiovascular death. The highest concentrations of GDF-15 had a lower predictive effect on MI than all-cause death and cardiovascular death. The association of GDF-15 with the outcome of stroke needs to be further studied.
HMM-based profiling identifies the binding to divalent cations and nucleotides as common denominators of suramin targets

Introduction: Suramin is one of the pharmacopeia’s most promiscuous drugs. Originally developed for African trypanosomiasis, suramin was also used for onchocerciasis and it has been proposed as an anticancer agent, antiviral drug, therapy for arthritis, autism, and antidote for snake bites. Target proteins of suramin have been described from different species. Here we identify the common motifs among these various targets, aiming to explain the promiscuous nature of suramin.

Methods: We have searched for suramin target proteins in the literature and in chemical databases. Applying rigorous inclusion criteria, a list of 44 diverse proteins was assembled with experimental evidence for direct interaction with, and inhibition by, suramin. Hidden Markov model-based target profiling was performed by running the full set of Pfam protein family domains against these proteins.

Results: Common denominators were identified by mapping the identified Pfam domains to molecular function gene ontology terms. This in silico pipeline identified nucleotide binding, nucleic acid binding, and binding to divalent cations as the most common denominators of the suramin targets.

Discussion: Our results suggest that the extraordinary polypharmacology of suramin may be caused by its ability to inhibit the interaction of proteins with nucleotides or nucleic acids and with divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+). Suramin is well known to inhibit nucleotide receptors and nucleic acid-binding enzymes. The association with divalent cations is new and might be key towards the design of better, more selective inhibitors.

Non-formal education is an important resource to foster scientific competence for active and responsible citizenship. However, these spaces do not always have the necessary requirements for everyone to access and participate. Therefore, with the intention of contributing to the creation of barrier-free spaces, the present study aims to identify the most appropriate psycho-pedagogical supports for the design and implementation of a scientific activity for a group of deaf and hard of hearing children. To achieve this objective, an instrumental case study was employed. The results, obtained through direct observation, satisfaction questionnaires, and interviews, show great interest among the children and both the sign interpreters accompanying the sessions and the organizers from the association assessed the activity in a positive light. These results also point to the need for spaces that could initially be controlled and that might strengthen the expectations among the participants and their families of participation in similar initiatives within more heterogeneous groups.
Prognostic value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in IgA nephropathy and establishment of nomogram model

Background

Dyslipidemia is closely related to kidney disease. We aimed to investigate the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and build a nomogram prognostic model.

Methods

519 IgAN patients with 61 months median follow-up were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the cut-off value of baseline LDL-C (2.60 mmol/L): the high group (n=253) and the low group (n=266). Renal survival was assessed by Kaplan⁃Meier (KM) survival curve. Risk factors were identified by COX regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC), concordance index (C-index), and calibration curves were applied to evaluate the nomogram model.

Results

KM survival curve analysis showed that the high LDL-C group had worse renal survival than the low LDL-C group (χ2 = 8.555, p=0.003). After adjusting for confounding factors, Cox regression analysis showed the baseline LDL-C level was an independent risk factor of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in IgAN (HR=3.135, 95% CI 1.240~7.926, p =0.016). LDL-C, segmental sclerosis, tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, 24-hour proteinuria were identified and entered into the nomogram models, with AUC of 0.864, 0.827, and 0.792 respectively to predict the 5-, 8-, and 10-year risk of ESRD in IgAN. The C-index of this prediction model was respectively 0.862, 0.838, and 0.800 and was well-calibrated.

Conclusion

Elevated LDL-C level is a predictive factor for the prognosis of IgAN. We developed a nomogram model that can predict the risk of ESRD in IgAN by using LDL-C ≥ 2.60 mmol/L.
