Investment strategies in terms of global competitiveness
Authors: Virkovska Anastasiya
Published: January 2023

The article examines the concept of investment strategies in the conditions of global competitiveness and defines their types. The main forms of psychotypes of investors are highlighted. The behavior of investors during 2014–2022 and the Kearney Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index 2022 were analyzed. It is emphasized that the war between Russia and Ukraine did not greatly affect the behavior of investors, who are still relatively optimistic about the prospects of Europe and Eurasia. In the financial world, a wide range of factors affect the prices of certain assetsSince the trend of deglobalization is accelerating, against the background of the coronavirus and the escalation of trade conflicts, it is impossible to bypass macro factors when analyzing and choosing a company for investment. Each company conducts business in a certain industry and its development depends on the macroclimate in the country and the world in general. Indicators such as the level of interest rates, inflation, employment, unemployment, etc. are taken into account to determine investment directions. The global pandemic of covid-19 has caused significant human and economic losses. The global economy contracted in 2020. However, if we analyze the investment activity, the years 2021 and 2022 were quite active. If you compare the total value of the global stock market in 2020 and before the covid-19 pandemic, it is almost unchanged. The reason for this may be the following factors: a gradual increase in the production of goods and services, an increase in the employment rate of the population, significant progress in the creation of a vaccine against covid-19, etc. The recovery of the world's economies is accelerating and does not foresee a further decline. Therefore, creating new opportunities for business strategies will require a comprehensive solution to both old and new problems. The recovery can and should be used to invest in sustainable companies and infrastructure. Increasing exports, integration into global value-added chains, setting up the production of environmentally friendly products and promoting IT startups will create opportunities for economic development. The main advantages and disadvantages of investment strategies are substantiated.

Authors: Moshkovska Olena
Published: January 2023

The article examines the theoretical aspects of transfer pricing in Ukraine. Threats of offshoring the banking system of Ukraine to create conditions for the abuse of transfer pricing in order to optimize taxation are considered. The rules of transfer pricing for financial transactions were studied and systematized based on the study of the recommendations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Goal. The purpose of the study is to systematize the rules of transfer pricing for financial transactions in Ukraine to minimize the conditions for the erosion of the tax base of the participants of domestic financial and industrial groups. Methods. Research methods are general scientific methods of cognition, in particular, the article uses methods of empirical analysis to study the main concepts of research, comparison methods to compare legislative requirements regarding transfer pricing; graphic methods for building a structural and logical diagram of transfer pricing rules for financial transactions; methods of systematization and generalization for the systematization of transfer pricing rules for financial transactions. The results. The work outlines the shortcomings of the national legislation regarding the regulation of transfer pricing for financial transactions, identifies the risks of offshoring the banking system of Ukraine regarding the abuse of transfer pricing during financial transactions, systematizes the rules of transfer pricing for financial transactions, and characterizes the main methods of control over transfer pricing for financial transactions. The rules for the regulation of transfer pricing for financial transactions have been determined, which include: the exact delimitation of financial transactions, the assessment of treasury functions, cash pooling, financial guarantees, risk hedging and captive insurance. The mechanism for evaluating a financial transaction for its compliance with transfer pricing criteria is outlined. The rules and methods of assessing transfer pricing for financial transactions can be used to adapt domestic legislation to the global practice of transfer pricing regulation.
Management improvement methods during the war and post-war period
Authors: Andrushkiv Bohdan , Kyrych Natalia , Pohaidak Olga , Sherstyuk Roman , Ratynskyi Vadym
Published: January 2023

The article reveals the results of the round table meeting of the public association Academy of Social Management, which discussed the problems of finding tools to eliminate the most unfair challenges to society and increase the effectiveness of management on a national scale. With the use of analytical methods, the reasons and motives for creating the prerequisites for distortions in the state administration system were revealed. The place and role of science, the public, politicians, state authorities and local self-government are defined in these processes. Separate differences in views on the political vectors of the state's development are highlighted. In the struggle for profitable places, oligarchs, with the consent of the aggressor, use fake information of the population, which excites the prerequisites for allegedly protesting moods of the people. Under such a political cover, an administrative and territorial reform is carried out under which territories, resources, etc. are redistributed. Imperfections of an ideological nature, which are skilfully used by plots from politicians, are named. This is happening despite the fact that people's elected and their entourage looted natural resources and shamelessly took the loot abroad, brazenly scaring the robbed with it (abroad)... It has been established: who sows despair in the souls of Ukrainians, who deprives them of hope and optimism and why this is happening. It is proposed to organize preventive measures in this area based on the integrated use of scientific, humanitarian and economic tools. The views on these problems of people who have an unbiased assessment of the situation in Ukraine, politicians, scientists, public figures, and ordinary citizens of our country are discussed.
Odd one in: a psychotherapist’s experience of interaction with the judicial system in working with patients with high levels of destructiveness
Authors: Frolova Natalya
Published: January 2023

During arrest and investigation, the perpetrator of a murder can find themselves not only locked up in a place of detention, but also in a close dyadic relationship with the judicial system, duplicating the role of the archaic, punitive superego. This con-figuration does not encourage psychic triangulation as a space in which traumatic reality can be accepted and symbolised, nor does it foster an ability to reflect on the crime committed, to grieve, and repent. The alternative position can mean identifica-tion with the criminal community, in which protective narcissistic identity feeding can take place, reinforcing the ego, but not bringing it any closer to contact with reality and the capacity for coming to the depressive position. When mature psychic mechanisms fail to work, archaic processes come into play, fraught with severe manic conditions with a high risk of destructive enactment. This article presents the clinical experience with a forensic patient whose situation went beyond these typical scenarios. The result was the experience of valuable observation and the possibility of building therapeutic relations with the patient in a state of active psy-chotic enactment.
Female aggression: a family conundrum
Authors: Doctor Ronald
Published: January 2023

This article examines a family therapy case involving a woman who was violent to her children and partner where conscious and unconscious paranoid beliefs were manifested in projective identification and sadomasochistic liaisons between the children and/or partner. I will illustrate how apparent social appropriateness covered up an extremely disturbed personal relationship. I will explore how this paranoid and perverse relationship arises from the use of a particular type of defensive organisation. This is characterised by a mostly narcissistic and unyielding defence, namely projective identification, which functions to help the patient avoid knowing about her aggression and anxiety by avoiding connection with other people and with reality.

Este libro propone, a sus posibles lectores, el relato de una experiencia pedagógica en el espacio de la universidad. El título expresa su punto central: “Elogio de la tutoría”. Hablamos como docentes a cargo de esa práctica en el Posgrado Especialidad en Docencia Universitaria de la Universidad del Azuay. No siempre hemos escuchado voces que utilicen el término “elogio” para referirse a esa figura responsable de promover y acompañar aprendizajes a lo largo de siglos. Todavía hoy, en no pocos establecimientos, se hace una distinción entre el profesor y el tutor; en general, todos los honores le corresponden al primero; le queda al segundo la tarea de controlar, de instrumentar lo decidido por quien asume el saber, las condiciones de evaluación y la propuesta de qué y cómo aprender. Como protagonistas de una práctica de tutoría diseñada para salir de ese pobre encasillamiento, sostenemos la expresión elogio en el sentido del papel que juegan, jugamos, quienes nos involucramos, hoy, en proyectos de educación a distancia para cumplir con la labor fundamental de la educación: promover y acompañar aprendizajes. 122 páginas ISBN: 978-9942-847-47-8 e-ISBN: 978-9942-847-48-5

Gobernanza, servicios hídricos y responsabilidad estatal: Una nueva perspectiva de estudio interdisciplinar
Authors:   Universidad del Azuay, Ochoa-Rodríguez Guillermo
Published: January 2023

El presente estudio doctoral, “Gobernanza, Servicios Públicos y Responsabilidad Estatal: Una nueva perspectiva de estudio interdisciplinar”, incorpora una visión interdisciplinar que genera un diálogo de saberes y escapa del rigor dogmático muy común en el estudio del Derecho. ¿Por qué realizar esta investigación? Una de las preocupaciones actuales en el área del Derecho es la formulación de estudios críticos y reflexivos que incorporen varios elementos y dimensiones para dar suficiente sustento y soporte a una hipótesis o planteamiento. En este sentido en el transcurso de los diferentes temas que son tratados en este trabajo surgen nuevas posiciones que permitirán entender el pensamiento jurídico desde la perspectiva filosófica, la política y la normativa. La presente investigación es cualitativa, empírica y sistémica. Las bases filosóficas son construidas bajo la influencia de los estudios de Bertalanffy (1989) y de Luhmann (1994), las que han permitido justificar la necesidad de investigaciones que apliquen el carácter tridimensional del Derecho (hecho, valor y norma). Es importante destacar que el objetivo de este trabajo está orientado hacia la investigación desde el derecho público, motor dinamizador en constante cambio y adaptación a los cambios sociales. 438 páginas ISBN: 978-9942-847-45-4 e-ISBN: 978-9942-847-46-1

Published: January 2023

En los libros de historia de la educación estudiamos cómo diferentes asociaciones de familias de personas con diversidad funcional se organizaron en el pasado (y continúan haciéndolo en la actualidad) para exigir ante los gobernantes los derechos que sus hijos e hijas merecen y consiguieron importantes cambios legales. En los manuales de formación del profesorado analizamos declaraciones institucionales sobre la inclusión elaboradas y firmadas por un amplio grupo de gobernantes y entidades de ámbito internacional. Incluso, en algunos artículos científicos monitorizamos cómo los medios de comunicación nos presentaron un conjunto de denuncias de acoso sexual inicialmente en el ámbito del cine que dio pie a un movimiento de repercusión mundial que ayuda a visibilizar y denunciar problemas latentes desde hace décadas en múltiples facetas de nuestra sociedad. Todos estos (y muchos más), son hitos relevantes que celebramos, y que suponen grandes avances en el terreno de la inclusión. Pero estos hitos no se dan en el vacío. Para que esa pequeña chispa que supone la organización de las familias prenda y se convierta en la aprobación de una ley; o para que la denuncia de una persona aislada se convierta en un movimiento de alcance internacional, hace falta previamente un caldo de cultivo propicio para ello, una atmósfera epistemológica en la que poco a poco, piedra a piedra, se hayan ido construyendo las paredes del armazón teórico que da lugar al concepto de inclusión. 288 páginas ISBN: 978-9942-847-58-4 e-ISBN: 978-9942-847-59-1

Published: January 2023

Una de las pedagogías más usadas en educación moral es la Kohlbergiana, que es el análisis de dilemas morales (Correa, 2019). Hay que recordar que un dilema es una situación en la que se debe tomar decisiones, sin que exista necesariamente una respuesta correcta. Al existir el dilema se enfrentan valores y principios; las personas no quieren sacrificar ninguno de los dos pues la decisión puede ser trágica, independientemente de cuál sea la opción que se tome. Al aprender a tomar decisiones morales, hay que desarrollar habilidades para resolver el dilema moral, identificando valores, principios e intereses encontrados, buscar una justificación ética, que, por sobre todo, vaya acorde con los principios que el ser humano promulgue. 352 páginas e-ISBN: 978-9942-847-67-6

Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease are a serious complication of acute articular rheumatism. They remain frequent in our underdeveloped countries and in Senegal in particular. Late diagnosis and lack of early and appropriate management put people at risk of serious and sometimes fatal complications. The purpose of our study was to report the epidemic profile and outcomes of rheumatic valve disease management. Methodology: We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study including patients hospitalized from January 1st, 2017 to June 31th, 2019 for rheumatic valve disease in cardiac surgery or medical cardiology department. The various parameters studied were epidemiological, diagnostic and prognostic data. Data analysis was done by the Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version18. Results: We collected 102 cases. The average age was 20.57. The Male/Female sex ratio was 1.12. Fifty-six patients were hospitalized for scheduled surgery, 43 for decompensated heart failure and 03 for infectious endocarditis. Mitral valve regurgitation was the most common valve disease (19.61%). Poly-valvular involvement was dominated by mitral disease and aortic valve regurgitation (32.35%). Seventy-five patients, or 73.5%, had received surgical treatment, including valve replacement in 67.15% of cases and valvuloplasties accounted for 37.83%. Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy was performed in 03 patients. The medical treatment was for heart failure and infectious endocarditis. The trend was favourable in 86.2% of cases. Twenty-eight patients were lost sight. Medium-term mortality was 13.7% or 14 patients. Conclusion: Rheumatic heart diseases remain common in our regions, they must be detected early for better management. The treatment is typically surgical but is often lacking hence the importance of the prevention of rheumatic arthritis.

Introduction: In the recent past, it was not possible to treat coronary disease in Mali due to a lack of technical facilities. All our coronary patients were evacuated to the Maghreb, France or the sub-region to receive adequate care. In 2019, the opening of an interventional cardiology room at the University Hospital "Luxembourg" and the training of a team has allowed the local management of a good number of Malians and foreigners suffering from coronary pathology. We report here the results of 30 months of activities. Methodology: We performed a perspective analysis of coronary angiograms and angioplasties performed in our center from September 2019 to February 2022. Clinical, paraclinical including angiographic data were collected and analyzed. Results: Between September 2019 and February 2022, 670 patients underwent coronary angiography, 262 of whom were followed by angioplasty. Male gender was predominant (72.6%), a sex ratio of 2.62. The mean age was 59 years and the 46-65 age group was the most dominant (50.24%). High blood pressure was the main cardiovascular risk factor (33.8%). Chronic coronary syndrome was the most frequent indication (59.8%) followed by coronary syndromes (38.3%). The radial route was used in 98%. Coronary angiography was pathological in 69%. Multitruncular lesions were predominant (35.5%) followed by monotruncular (32.8%). 39.10% of our patients underwent angioplasty. Complications were minimal (3%) and mortality was 2.03%. Conclusion: In our developing countries, we are witnessing an epidemiological transition with the decrease in infectious diseases and the emergence of non-communicable diseases, particularly coronary diseases. Their management requires an adequate technical platform, qualified human resources, and multidisciplinary collaboratio

Introduction: The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has been rapidly increasing in developing countries, leading to an increasing incidence of acute coronary syndrome which is becoming a major health concern. Few studies have been conducted in hospital settings, which has led us to conduct this cross-sectional, descriptive study in Saint Louis in the north of Senegal, (250 km away from the capital) whose objective is to describe the epidemiological aspects of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in hospital settings. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional descriptive and retrospective study lasting two years from January 1, 2018 to 31 December 2019 which included all patients hospitalized in the cardiology department of the regional hospital of salary for an ACS. Results: Out of 475 patients admitted to the department of cardiology, 47 presented with acute coronary syndrome which is a prevalence of 9.89%. The mean age was 63+/-13.14 years. There was a male predominance with a sex ratio of 1.5. The meantime between the beginnings of symptoms to hospitalization was 50 hours. The most frequent clinical presentation was acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation (STEMI: ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) in 39 patients. Hypertension was the most common cardiovascular risk factor in 23 patients and chest pain was the most common symptoms 72.3%. In STEMI patients, the ECG abnormalities were mainly in the anterior region and in NSTEMI (Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients the ECG abnormalities were mainly in the inferior region. On echocardiography, 64% of patients had an altered left ventricular ejection function in STEMI patients whereas in NSTEMI patients, the left ventricular ejection function was preserved in 71% of cases. STEMI patients received within the first 12 hours represented 66% of our population of which 84% benefited from thrombolysis with streptokinase with a success rate of 52%. The mean time to thrombolysis was six hours. Six patients or 12.76% were sent for coronarography. The most common complication was cardiovascular collapse (11%), 15% of patients died. Conclusion: The prevalence of acute coronary syndrome is increasing in West Africa with a predominance of ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. The main issues encountered were long leading times between onset of symptoms and hospital admission along with limited availability of medical facilities.

The subject of 'Tuberculosis'. Something of a challenge, but it has been ignored recently in much of the medical training media. Here we present an educational script that aims to discuss and give a refresher on biology of mycobacteria with a brief mention of leprosy and environmental mycobacteria, epidemiology of TB: historically, recently, concept of roles of nutrition in immunology, latent infections, a short presentation of TB. Further discussing current guidelines, covering topics such as BCG, treatments, role of fluoroquinolones and MDR. With an examination of the social aspect by reviewing the awareness of prevalence in migrants, refugees, and its links to HIV. Finishing it with an original set of quiz questions that focuses on diagnosis, side effect of BCG vaccine, recent arrival from Africa with underlying retrovirus.

Aim: Bacterial biofilm formation is a menacing attribute that has been linked to a rise in antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to isolate biofilm-producing bacteria from stool samples and their antibiogram. Study Design: The study involved laboratory research, statistical analysis and interpretation of the data. Place and Duration of Study: The research was carried out in three (3) hospital facilities. They are University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Meridian Hospital D/line branch (MRD1), and Meridian Hospital Ikoku branch (MDR2). Specimens were gathered within three (3) months, and analyses were performed. Methodology: 45 stool specimens were collected from the three (3) hospitals. The specimens were correctly labelled with the sampling date and time. Standard microbiological procedures were performed on the collected specimens, including plate counts, identification, biofilm screening, sensitivity testing, extended spectrum beta lactamase phenotypic screening, and molecular characterization of the isolates. Results: The total heterotrophic bacterial counts ranged from 6.2 to 8.2 x107 cfu/g, total coliform counts ranged from 3.2 to 4.1 x106 cfu/g and faecal coliform counts ranged from 1.3 to 1.4 x105 cfu/g. There was no significant difference at (p≤0.05) in the total heterotrophic bacterial counts, total and faecal coliform counts between the hospitals sampled. A total of Thirty-two (32) bacterial isolates were identified in stool specimens, with 20 (62.5%) of them being biofilm producers. Staphylococcus 30%, 35% Escherichia coli, 25% Enterococcus and 10% Bacillus species were detected among biofilm bacteria. Biofilm isolates showed a variety of susceptibility patterns and antibiotic resistance was found in biofilm bacteria. Most bacterial intestinal tract infections from patients and hospitals investigated can be treated with ofloxacin, Gentamycin, Imipenem, and Nitrofurantoin. TET A and CTX-M genes, were reported in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli biofilm bacteria as possible genes that could confer antibiotic resistance.The existence of the icaD and papC genes in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli has been discovered to be probable determinants that impart biofilm forming abilities, according to genomic studies. Conclusion: The existence of biofilm-producing bacteria in patients’ stools, as well as their antibiotic resistance, was observed in this study. Ceftazidime (third generation cephalosporin) resistance was found in both biofilm and non-biofilm bacteria. This research reveals that ofloxacin, Gentamycin, Imipenem, and Nitrofurantoin are the drugs of choice for bacterial intestinal tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Bacillus species. As a result, proper infection control techniques and therapeutic recommendations for proven infections should be swiftly implemented.

Collision tumors comprising of pituitary adenomas with other sellar neoplasms are rare. Histological examination is necessary since preoperative studies cannot guarantee an accurate diagnosis. A 66-year-old man with headache and progressive visual alterations, MRI showed a sellar tumor that was diagnosed as pituitary adenoma and graduated as HV IIIc. He underwent surgery and two lesions were resected, one on the cavernous sinus and the other one in sellar region. The lesion of the venous sinus corresponds to a cyst covered by a ciliated pseudostratified epithelium that was diagnosed as Rathke's cyst, and the second one was formed by a neoplastic lesion of elongated cells with focal cellular atypia in a sarcomatous pattern, forming fascicles alternating with a pattern formed by medium eosinophilic cells predominantly in elongated cells in a stroma with abundant sinusoids. For immunohistochemistry, the epithelium of the cyst was PTTG-1, cytokeratin 6/8, and chromogranin positive, while the other lesion was positive chromogranin, FSH, LH PTTG-1, TTF-1, while the spindle cells area was positive immunoreaction for PTTG-1, GFAP, S-100, and VIM and weak expression for TTF-1. These histologic and immunohistochemical findings are suggestive of spindle cells oncocytoma and Rathke cyst, is a rare sellar collision tumor. The expression of TTF-1 in the spindle cell oncocytoma with the idea of common histogenesis for pituicytoma and SCOs and raise the possibility of more aggressive growth in SCOs as compared to pituicytoma.
Land quality as a base of land use control

The concept of «land quality» as a theoretical foundation for rational land use and control of land owners and land users is defined. It is shown that this concept contains such terms as «land quality» and «sustainable agriculture». It is determined that land quality evaluation should be integrated, as soil fertility factors are unreplaceable and equisignificant. This in turn requires determination of a considerable number of indicators and it means the corresponding expenses of money and time consumption. For this reason, indicators were chosen on a principle of «rational minimum and realistic maximum», namely maximum possible number of indicators, which belongs to real operating control of certain organizations, at the same time this number is minimal (narrowed) for a comprehensive ecological assessment of areas. The selection of indicators in order to evaluate land quality changes in the process of their usage is presented. Land evaluation gives us reasons to make informed decisions regarding identification and wide use of all reserves and potential possibilities of land resources, planning of rational land use and protection, increasing the responsibility of land owners and land users, a specially authorized body for land resources management meet the requirements for theoretical land use and prevention of their degradation. It is proved, that in Ukraine there is a critical need to introduce the measurement system that would promote the preservation and reproduction of land resources. The possible solution of this problem is the introduction of effective compulsions in soil-protective legislation through the implementation of evaluation and prediction system of land quality. For effective implementation of this system should be carried out open soil-protective policy in the interaction with other sectors for the environment protection and resource policy, it is necessary to increase the level of the population and users consciousness, based on the public understanding the need for compliance with the soil-protective requirements in all kinds of activities and stimulate information sharing between different states, conducting public researches and monitoring. Actions aimed at soil protection, will contribute not only to conservation, protection, restoration and improvement of the environment quality, but also the existence conditions for society and public health in whole. Modern approaches to the land evaluation in Ukraine are submitted.
