Authors: PERYT Iryna , BRYCH Vasyl
Published: September 2020

Introduction. In conditions of modern economy, one of the indicators of economic development and the presence of positive environment for private business development is the household income level from entrepreneurship. But the instability of political and economic events in recent years has had a significant impact on private entrepreneurs activity. So the studying the structure and dynamics of household income from entrepreneurial activity today is an important area of research.
The purpose of the research is to analyze and establish the main trends in the development of household income from entrepreneurial activity in the structure of cash income and total resources.
Research methods. The methodological basis of the work is the conclusions and generalizations of economic science and scientific works on the subject of research the structure and dynamics of household income from entrepreneurial activity. The research uses logical, comparative and complex approaches, as well as methods of observation, comparison, graphical and complex analysis.
Results. The paper studies the composition and dynamics of household income from the sale of entrepreneurial skills implementation in the structure of cash income and total resources, which shows almost doubled household income from entrepreneurial activity in the sampling period, as well as a significant increase in household income from agricultural products sales and property income. Based on research of household income in the structure of cash income and total resources by geolocation, it was found that the highest level of household income from entrepreneurship activity is reached in large and small towns, and household income from agricultural products sales and household income from property - in villages. According to results of the analysis of household incomes from entrepreneurial skills implementation, depending on the region, it was found that the highest level was reached by the regions of western and central Ukraine, and Kyiv. Based on the tools of correlation and regression analysis, it was determined the main factors of environmental influences on household income from entrepreneurial activity, which are the fluctuations in the inflation index and gross domestic product (GDP).
Conclusion. Thus, the tendency to reduce of some income categories from entrepreneurial skills implementation, particularly in terms of income from agricultural products sales in rural households, which are the most sensitive to economic fluctuations, requires a comprehensive review and improvement of business conditions for small businesses at the national level.
The scientific value of study is to determine the main trends in household income from entrepreneurship activity, which will allow to get quality information on the private business development level, to use it to predict the future development of small business and in developing normative acts on state regulation of entrepreneurship.
Specifics of state policy for aviation industry development under conditions of international competition
Authors: MINAKOVA Svitlana
Published: September 2020

International regime for air transportation historically formed as a pattern of bilateral agreements of two states to allow air traffic between them. This regime is not incorporated into WTO regulations, including General Agreement on Trade in Services. The EU created Common Aviation Area to provide the multilateral approach for international flight liberalization and fair competition. But the rapid expansion of carriers from Gulf countries and Turkey revealed that the international regulation is not effective in controlling state support of any forms, including subsidies, to aviation industry. As the liberalization process of the aviation industry continues, the issue of competition regulation regimes in different countries directly affects the perspective of the industry development. As the carriers are represented mostly by private business, the airports remain under state ownership or control. The relations among them define the competitive situation in the market for national carriers and the industry as the whole. One of the priority task for the state policy for aviation industry support is not direct subsidies or other form of funding, but infrastructural development. To maximize consumer value and increase the international competitiveness the nation shall develop a network of airports to serve the local and international traffic with the high efficiency. The biggest airports of the country accumulate the most of the traffic and experiences jams in the schedule. But Ukraine, like France, does not have an integrated national program for airport network development, contrary to Great Britain. As Ukraine joins Common Aviation Area of the EU, Ukrainian carriers will have access to European routes but will face competition on domestic routes from European companies. The issue of quality and efficiency of airport services both to carriers and passengers will define the possibility of the country to use the positive tendency of air traffic growth into sustainable development of the aviation industry. One of the main factor for airport competitiveness is integration into local and national transport system to give passengers options for convenient and cheap transportation from and to an airport. The Largest European airports develop investment projects for rail transportation to terminals form cities and environments.
Peculiarities of research and formation of consumption and savings of the rural population
Authors: MAKEDON Halyna
Published: September 2020

The article considers the features of research and collection of statistical and analytical information on the total expenditures of households, in particular the level of their consumption and savings. It has been stated that households have not been given due attention in the economic sphere for a long time, although they are integral subjects of the economic system. This still affects the quality of the information received and, accordingly, the conclusions and recommendations. Emphasis is placed on sufficient periodicity, the existence of alternative surveys, in addition to the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine. At that time, attention was paid to a significant proportion of inaccuracies, as households are not responsible for the inaccurate data provided. One of the psychological reasons is the unwillingness to show the true amount of income, because you have to pay taxes. And the culture of a bona fide taxpayer in the majority of the population is not yet fully formed. The Strategy for the Development of the Financial Sector of Ukraine until 2025 is considered. Improving the financial literacy of the population is one of the priority tasks of business and education. In order to rationalize their expenses, household members must have information about their structure. An approximate scheme for improving the financing of rural areas is given. It is emphasized that rural households have a high level of savings and these resources can become a powerful investment resource for regional development. The share in financing the cooperative (basic economy) can also be borne by the local population. This is an opportunity to receive income from their savings and improve the economic and social condition of their own locality. Ways of activating investment activity of the rural population are given. Only by learning to build their consumer spending wisely will households be able to increase some of their savings, thus ensuring their well-being, which is part of the stability of Ukraine's financial and economic system as a whole.

Ergenlik döneminde birçok sağlık riski davranışı ortaya çıkmakta, genellikle yetişkinlik süresince devam etmekte ve yaşam boyu iyilik halini ve sağlığı etkilemektedir. Bu araştırma lise son sınıf öğrencilerinde riskli sağlık davranışları ve algılanan sosyal destek ilişkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ilişki arayıcı nitelikte olan araştırmanın evrenini Gümüşhane il merkezinde eğitim veren liselerin son sınıf öğrencileri (N=904) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş, araştırmaya alma ölçütlerini karşılayan tüm öğrencilere ulaşılması hedeflenmiş ve 609(evrenin %67,37’si) öğrenci çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Aralık 2014-Ocak 2015 tarihleri arasında Tanımlayıcı Soru Formu, Riskli Sağlık Davranışları Ölçeği (RSDÖ) ve Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği Revizyonu (ASDÖ-R) ile sınıf ortamında araştırmacı tarafından toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 17,28±0,67’dir. RSDÖ toplam puan ortalaması 64,51±10,81 ve ASDÖ-R toplam puan ortalaması 122,36±15,16 olarak belirlenmiştir. RSDÖ ve ASDÖ-R toplam puan ortalamaları arasında negatif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmiştir. Riskli sağlık davranışları arttıkça sosyal desteğin azaldığı, öğrencilerin RSDÖ toplam puan ortalamasına göre riskte oldukları, ASDÖ-R puan ortalamasına göre ise algılanan sosyal desteğin yüksek olduğu söylenebilir. Ailelere ve öğretmenlere riskli sağlık davranışlarını önleme ve sosyal desteği artırmaya yönelik danışmanlık hizmetlerinin verilmesi önerilmektedir.

8.3. CHANGING PRIORITIES FOR THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN AN EPIDEMIC 2020 CRISIS
Authors: Домнина И.Н. , Маевская Л.И.
Published: September 2020

В условиях разразившейся эпидемии коронавируса, повлекшей за собой режим самоизоляции, наметились серьезные проблемы в экономике страны, и самым слабым звеном в этой ситуации оказалось некрупное предпринимательство в сервисных отраслях. Выживаемость сектора малой экономики поставила под сомнение достижение целей, намеченных ранее в Стратегии пространственного развития РФ на период до 2025 г. Приоритетным становится реализация пакета правительственных мер поддержки некрупного предпринимательства. Излишняя избирательность государственной политики по сохранению малого бизнеса в стране не гарантирует получение финансовой помощи всеми нуждающимися мелкими предпринимателями и в недостаточной степени учитывает их региональную специфику.

In the context of the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic, which led to a regime of self-isolation, serious problems have emerged in the country's economy. And the weakest link in this situation was small business in the service industries. The survival of the small economy sector has cast doubt on the achievement of the growth prospects previously outlined in the spatial development Strategy until 2025. The priority is the implementation of a package of government measures to support small business. Excessive selectivity of the state policy to preserve small businesses in the country does not guarantee financial assistance to all small entrepreneurs in need and does not sufficiently take into account their regional specificity.

В представленной статье установлено, что учет интересов стейкхолдеров возможен в рамках неантагонистических игр, позволяющих определять оптимальность решений о выборе стратегий поведения и взаимодействия с другими заинтересованными сторонами. Определено, что на применение теоретико-игрового подхода для построения аналитического аппарата, позволяющего принимать оптимальные стратегические решения относительно развития экономической деятельности представительств хозяйствующих субъектов за рубежом, накладывается ряд ограничений: состав стейкхолдеров, интерпретация выбранных KPI ключевых стейкхолдеров, ограничения законодательства, баланс финансовых и нефинансовых показателей. В проведенном исследовании предложена математическая модель, позволяющая рекомендовать в указанных условиях алгоритм нахождения стратегии поведения, предоставляющей оптимальное по Парето решение. В модели учитывается неопределенность при реализации анализа деятельности стейкхолдеров путем применения вероятностных подходов. Применение основной модели, анализ оптимальных по Парето ситуаций, интерпретация результатов и принятие решений представлено на конкретном примере. Предложен алгоритм проведения аналитических расчетов, реализованный в Excel или среде OpenOffice Calc.

In the article, it was found that taking into account the interests of stakeholders is possible within the framework of non-antagonistic games, which allow determining the optimality of decisions about the choice of behavioral strategies and interaction with other interested parties. It was determined that a number of restrictions are imposed on the application of a game-theoretic approach to constructing an analytical apparatus that makes it possible to make optimal strategic decisions regarding the development of economic activities of business representatives abroad, the composition of stakeholders, interpretation of key stakeholders chosen by KPI, legislative restrictions, balance of financial and non-financial indicators . In the study, a mathematical model is proposed that allows recommending in these conditions an algorithm for finding a behavior strategy that provides a Pareto optimal solution. The model takes into account the uncertainty in the implementation of the analysis of the activities of stakeholders through the application of probabilistic approaches. The application of the main model, the analysis of Pareto optimal situations, the interpretation of results and decision-making are presented on a concrete example. An algorithm for performing analytical calculations, implemented in Excel or OpenOffice Calc, is proposed.

Published: September 2020

Misconceptions can be caused due to a person's low understanding of a concept, as a result it will influence a person in understanding and connecting between existing knowledge principles. Several studies were conducted to find out what strategies can be used to reduce student misconceptions, especially in chemistry lessons. The purpose of this study is to describe the concept profile of students after using the POGIL learning model to reduce student misconceptions. The subjects in this study were students of class XI.1 Science who had received chemistry learning about chemical equilibrium. The data collection instruments used included observation sheets of learning activities and tests of understanding the concept of multiple choice reasoned and accompanied by the level of confidence of students (three tier). Data analysis was carried out descriptively with a three tier diagnostic test. The results of the analysis of the student's misconception profile that have been obtained are then mapped individually and personally. The results showed that the profile of students 'conception after learning using the POGIL learning model, most of the students' conceptions experienced positive changes with the translation of students with initial misconceptions, not knowing the concept changed to knowing the concept, and students who remained on the profile knew the concept but still there are students who are still in the misconception profile. Through the results of this study, it is hoped that it will be useful for education practitioners in choosing alternative learning strategies in delivering chemical equilibrium subject matter and as a reference for overcoming students who are still experiencing misconceptions.

Published: September 2020

This study was carried out to ascertain the effect of energy drink and mixture of energy drink with different brands of alcohol on some biochemical parameters. Sixteen (16) male albino rats weighing 120- 160g were divided into four (4) groups. The groups were divided thus: Group 1: Control- feed and water ad libitum, Group 2: 3.75ml/kg Bullet Energy drink only, Group 3: 3.75ml/kg Bullet energy drink + 1ml/kg of 41% alcohol dry gin and Group 4: 3.75ml/kg Bullet energy drink + 1ml/kg of 5.1% alcoholic beer. The experiment lasted for 28 days after which the animals were fasted for 12 hours before they were sacrificed and their blood collected for biochemical analyses. There was a significant increase in body weight of animals in group 2-4 and also the glucose concentration was elevated. The result presented in table 2 showed that there is a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the level of ALT and ALP in treatment groups when compared to the control group (1). Also, elevated level of cholesterol and triglycerides were also observed. From this data, we may conclude that there are high risk of constantly taking energy drink alone or in combination with alcohol.
Quantifying Biogas Generation from Human and Biodegradable Wastes: A Case Studies of Three Estuarine Communities in Rivers State
Authors: C Ogan, H. I., Teme, S. , L Eze, C. , A Ngah S.
Published: September 2020

This study showed total excreta produced by 73 people (19 male adult, 19 female adult, 17 male children and 18 female children) was 18.97kg per day. Given an average household of 5, (2 adults and 3 children), 1321g (1.3kg) of feaces would be generated. Therefore, 500 households in any of the communities would generate 660,500g (660.5kg) of excreta. The cumulative volume of gas generated from 5kg of human excreta, combined with 15 kg of leftover rice; 5kg of vegetable waste and 25kg of water resulted in 0.167m3 biogas. By extrapolation, 500 households, generating 515kg of excreta; using 1,546kg of waste rice; 515kg of vegetables waste and 2,579kg of water, can generate 83.5m3 biogas. This quantity of biogas can power 55kw electricity generating set which can provide Community Street light for more than 6 hours. In the coastal communities of the Niger Delta where modern waste management practices are practically nonexistent, human excreta and household food wastes are discharged directly into the rivers and creeks, resulting in obnoxious effects such as foul smell, pollution and filth and even mosquito infestation. The outcome of this research has given a clear direction on how to treat domestic wastes (which in effect are resources) for bioconversion. As the world in general is changing from over reliance on fossil fuels, being wasting assets, coupled with the attendant pollution and degradation of the environment, investment into alternative energy sources such as biogas from wastes would contribute to the quest to reduce energy scarcity, guard against ecological disasters, elimination and/or control deforestation and erosion of the soil surface in particular and the environment in general. Therefore, for developing countries of Africa and especially Nigeria to surmount her current energy, environmental, food, health and unemployment crises, the anaerobic digestion of biodegradable wastes in general; excreta/household food wastes in particular should be given the attention it deserves.

India being known for its oldest civilization with its rich culture and tradition with special emphasis toward food and culture. We find much diverse food and culture in its gastronomical study. Although, food stuff contributing only 3.9% of registered GIs. Special attention need to be given by the stake holders (public and private). The present research paper attempts to look into the status and system of GI and trade practices in food stuff. This is to highlight the role of GIs to protect the importance of origin of food stuffs and its culture and tradition. Further these GI food tags are pride of Indian cultural diets, extensively followed by the world. The majorities of food stuffs are unidentified and legally unprotected and the consumers are also not aware of the same. This is to give brief indication about how GI considerations of pursuing and protecting Indian Food stuff is essential and we must give attention to register maximum food stuffs to protect originality of the food and culture which is necessary to do so.

Published: September 2020

Metrological parameters plays significant role on the performance of solar panels in electrical power generation. To ascertain the extent to which ambient temperature, temperature of the panels, solar radiation were measured, recorded and analyzed at half-hour interval for five days, at the same period two solar panels were subjected to test, one being connected to a system of cooling leaving the other untouched. Measurement of both the output current and voltage were made from which the power output was calculated. The result shows that the power output was increasing as the solar radiation increased, which is clear indication that the entire photovoltaic process depend on the radiation intensity and environmental conditions. It was also observed that the efficiency of the solar panel with cooling system is slightly greater than that without cooling system. The efficiency and energy output of both solar panels were determined to be 15%, 13% and 477kWh, 449kWh respectively. The difference of 28kWh is not supposed to be neglected, because considering the difference of many days and many panels cannot be neglected. Also few approaches that have been proposed to reduce the effect of temperature on the solar photovoltaic system by choosing the appropriate configurations, by mounted on free standing frames, photovoltaic thermal collectors and building integrated photovoltaic arrays, respectively

The Effects of Imagery Abilities and Mental Rehearsal on Learning a Nursing Skill
Authors: Bucher Linda
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT

Nursing demands competency in numerous psychomotor skills. Using theory from Paivio (1986), Anderson (1976, 1985), and Bandura (1986), this attributetreatment study explored the interactive effects of imagery skills and various combinations of physical and mental practice on learning a skill. The author assessed 108 nursing students for imagery abilities and randomly assigned them to a physical practice (PP), mental rehearsal (MR), or a combined mental rehearsal plus physical practice (MR + PP) group. After learning to apply and remove sterile gloves, subjects were evaluated on their performance. A 3-factor ANOVA was performed and a significant main effect for practice condition was obtained. Subjects in the MR + PP condition performed significantly better than subjects in the MR condition but not the PP condition. These findings have important implications. Incorporating the use of mental rehearsal as an adjunct to physical practice in an effort to facilitate skill acquisition was found to be beneficial.
Challenges Faced by New Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Prescribers
Authors: Mangano Emma , Gonzalez Yovan , Kverno Karan S.
Published: September 2020

One of the main challenges that psychiatric–mental health nurse practitioner (PMNHP) students experience is preparing to prescribe medications by demonstrating psychopharmacological competency. To examine the challenges as they relate to this issue, self-reflective journaling narratives were evaluated from two cohorts of Post-Master's PMHNP program graduates, across each of two semesters of pediatric and adult clinical experience. The most prominent challenges reported by students were in regard to medication treatment adherence, decision making, and monitoring symptom-related outcomes. The narratives also demonstrate that reflection, combined with faculty- and preceptor-supported clinical education, assists PMHNP students in developing psychopharmacological competency. All PMHNP students described in this article were nurse practitioners before they began the program. By seeking to augment their competencies and through continued self-reflective learning and practice, they will improve access to mental health care for the populations they serve. [

In this study, under the criterion of maximizing the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth, the optimal proportional reinsurance and investment strategy for an insurer is examined with the compound Poisson claim process. To make the model more realistic, the price process of the risky asset is modelled by the Brownian motion risk model with dividends and transaction costs, where the instantaneous of investment return follows as a mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. At the same time, the net profit condition and variance reinsurance premium principle are also considered. Using stochastic control theory, explicit expressions for the optimal policy and value function are derived, and various numerical examples are given to further demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.

In this paper, we introduce isophote curves on surfaces in Galilean 3-space. Apart from the general concept of isophotes, we split our studies into two cases to get the axis d of isophote curves lying on a surface such that d is an isotropic or a non-isotropic vector. We also give a method to compute isophote curves of surfaces of revolution. Subsequently, we show the relationship between isophote curves and slant (general) helices on surfaces of revolution obtained by revolving a curve by Euclidean rotations. Finally, we give some characterizations for isophote curves lying on surfaces of revolution.

Novel zero-trans frying shortenings were formed by enzymatic transesterification by exploring a palm stearin and canola oil mixture and stearic acid as substrates. Both immobilized (Novozym 435, Lipase PS “Amano” IM) and non-immobilized (Lipomod TM 34P) enzymes were applied as biocatalysts. Palmitic acid, the fatty acid which defines the proper type of crystal formation, was present at the 15% level in the reaction mixtures. The novel structured lipids had comparable physical properties and offered similar frying performance to those of commercial shortening. Needle-shaped crystals were predominant both in the transesterification products and the commercial frying shortening. Furthermore, solid fat content profiles of the zero-trans structured lipids produced by Novozym 435 and Lipase PS “Amano” IM were close to those of the commercial shortening.
Algorithms and Bias

Initially, automated decision-making was seen as a corrective to discrimination: no longer would one biased individual be able to allow his or her prejudices to control decisions about employment, housing, banking, or criminal justice. However, this promise has not been fulfilled. Rather, recent experiences with a variety of platforms and services suggests that algorithms may be reproducing—and in some cases, even amplifying—human biases. This chapter will explore the problem of discriminatory bias in algorithms and propose best practices for minimizing the problem.

With the growing trend of global competitiveness and business complexity, the need arises for integrating BDTs in the design of ODSS. BDTs enable ODSS to deal with data of volume, variety, and velocity beyond the capability of traditional databases and data-warehouses in ODSS. The basic modules of updated ODSS with BDT are presented as a conceptual design, which provides a general foundation for the detailed design and implementation of an application. The validation of the proposed conceptual design is conducted on a test-case based upon the BSC perspectives as well as requirements common for ODSS scenarios. The results show that each requirement of the system is supported by a set of integrated modules in a balanced way. The modules of the highest contribution in the conceptual design are the modules most related to BDT. The initial stages of the implementation of the system are given.

Nowadays the tourism industry demands real-time data and advanced breakdown of indicators. The increasing availability of contents generated by users, such as Internet and Social Networks allow users to express their points of view while making them available. 22% of the time a user was online, it's in social networks, corresponding to 110 billion minutes. The study intends to show an example of an Integrated Tourism Analysis Platform (ITAP) with the use of mobile data linked to touristic venues and events; social media data; Open and Crowdsourced data with the geotagged and sensor city information related to environmental aspects, such as crowding, human movement, noise, light and pollution. Advanced Big Data techniques to produce Interactive Dashboards, Web-based Crowdsourcing Framework and a Responsive and Augmented GeoViewer will be used to ensure a more robust Integral Tourism service, enhancing the displaying of the relationship between the local attractions (events, cultural venues) and the foreign visitors in an interactive and visual immersive way.

The development of anti-drug Abs in response to biological products (BP) is a major drawback in the treatment of patients. Factors related to the patient, the treatment, and the product can influence BP immunogenicity. Among these factors, BP aggregates have been suggested to promote immunogenicity by acting as danger signals recognized by dendritic cells (DC) facilitating the establishment of an anti-BP CD4 T cell–dependent adaptive immune response leading to anti-drug Abs production. To date, little is known on the mechanism supporting the effect of aggregates on DCs and consequently on the T cell response. The aim of this work was to identify key signaling pathways involved in BP aggregate DC activation and T cell response. We generated aggregates by submitting infliximab (IFX), an immunogenic anti–TNF-α chimeric Ab, to heat stress. Our results showed that IFX aggregates were able to induce human monocyte-derived DC (moDC) maturation in a concentration-dependent manner. Aggregate-treated moDCs enhanced allogeneic T cell proliferation and IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13 production compared with native Ab-treated moDCs. We then investigated the implication of FcγRIIa and spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) in DC activation and showed that they were both strongly implicated in moDC maturation induced by IFX aggregates. Indeed, we found that neutralization of FcγRIIa inhibited DC activation, and consequently, Syk inhibition led to a decrease in T cell proliferation and cytokine production in response to IFX aggregates. Taken together, our results bring new insight, to our knowledge, on how protein aggregates could induce DC and T cell activation via the FcγRIIa–Syk signaling pathway.

Population growth and the need to exploit natural resources to produce food and guarantee food sovereignty reduce water availability, which can influence nutrient absorption capacity and production of plants. This study evaluated whether variations in soil water replacement levels promote changes in the mineral composition and biomass productivity of forage cactus varieties. A field experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with five levels of reference evapotranspiration replacement (25, 50, 75, 100 and 125% ETo) and three replicates. Contents of the macronutrients N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S; micronutrients Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cl, Na and B; and biomass productivity were quantified in two varieties of forage cactus (‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ and ‘Miúda’). The data were subjected to principal component and multivariate variance analysis. The mineral composition of the forage cactus varieties ‘Miúda’ and ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ can be optimized from soil water management, so as to obtain adequate nutritional balance for higher yield. The replacement level of 75% ETo promoted greater balance between nutrients in the cladodes of the forage cactus variety ‘Miúda’, while ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ had better nutritional balance with the replacement levels of 100 and 125% ETo. Soil water replacement levels of 100 and 125% ETo promote high accumulation of Na+ and Cl- ions in the cladodes of the forage cactus varieties studied. Highest biomass productivity of the varieties ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ and ‘Miúda’ was obtained with 75 and 100% ETo replacement levels, respectively. Among the varieties, ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ had a higher capacity for nutrient accumulation and biomass productivity, followed by ‘Miúda’, under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Brazilian semiarid region.
