Published: February 2021

The concept of Design and Build quickly becomes the preferred form of project completion. With this concept, it is possible for a project to be completed more quickly, with quality and costs according to plan. However, based on the results of research on construction projects in Jakarta, there are many that do not meet expectations.This study aims to determine the relationship of project owner factors, planner-builder factors, and project characteristics on airport design projects. Based on PLS SEM analysis of 65 respondents, it was found that the factor of the project owner has a positive but not significant effect on the performance of the Airport project, the builder planner has a negative but not significant effect on the performance of the Airport project, while the project characteristics factor has a positive and significant effect on project performance Airport.The results of this study provide confirmation and direction in the work of design projects in the future, especially for design projects at the airport.Â Â Â

Every one of us knows about the rise of Coronavirus (COVID-19) from Wuhan (China) and its effects into nearby states and further motherlands, increased domestic and worldwide methods are being occupied to contain the outburst. In terms of Economic and Social point of view, it directly disturbs the metropolitan markets on a high level by engaging all the capitals and towns in a lock-down situation. Itâ€™s also highlighted if this situation increases in different countries then it can lead in a direction to world-wide health disaster and in many accommodations as well. Be that as it may, while compelling conventions concerning the sharing of good information is underscored, urban information, then again, explicitly identifying with urban well-being and safe city ideas, is still seen from a patriot point of view as exclusively profiting a country's economy and its monetary and political impact. This article will explore the new and better universal understandings and also shows how smart city/urban systems be able to improve uniform procedures for bigger data sharing in the time of tragedies.Â Â
Smart management and control system for liquid radioactive waste in hospitals using neural network techniques
Authors: S. Ahmed Khaled , F. Sherif Fayroz
Published: February 2021

In tertiary hospitals where the nuclear medicine services have been introduced, the radioactive materials used in diagnosis and / or treatment need to be handled. The hospital design and medical planning should consider such these materials and their policy for treatment. The nuclear wastes have been divided into solid and liquid based on the used materials and for their half-life times which start from few minutes till reaching years. In our study, the most common radioactive liquid materials (wastes) have been treated by smart system. The system will detect the material of the waste via nuclear sensors and based on its HLT (activities), it will be distributed in two shielded storage tanks classified based on capacity then to the sewage treatment plant (STP) of the hospital after keeping for required times. The location and capacity of these tanks together with their monitoring and control system should be considered in design stage which determines the treatment processes. By applying our proposed technique on two hospitals, the results have reduced the storage tank capacity by 87% (reduction) and space area leading to cost reduction by 72% keeping the maximum level of safety.Â Â
Bag-of-words from image to speech: a multi-classifier emotions recognition system
Authors: Ezz-Eldin Mai , F. A. Hamed Hesham , A. M. Khalaf Ashraf
Published: February 2021

Recently, recognizing the emotional content of speech signals has received considerable research attention. Consequently, systems have been developed to recognize the emotional content of a spoken utterance. Achieving high accuracy in speech emotion recognition remains a challenging problem due to issues related to feature extraction, type, and size. Central to this study is increasing emotion recognition accuracy by porting the bag-of-word (BoW) technique from image to speech for feature processing and clustering. The BoW technique is applied to features extracted from Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) which enhances feature quality. The study considers deployment of different classification approaches to examine the performance of the embedded BoW approach. The deployed classifiers include support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), naive Bays (NB), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). In this study, experiments used the standard RAVDESS audio dataset with eight emotions: angry, calm, happy, surprised, sad, disgusted, fearful and neutral. The maximum accuracy obtained in the angry class using SVM was 85%, while overall accuracy was 80.1 %. The empirical works have proved that using BoW achieves better results in terms of accuracy and processing time compared to other available methods.
Replenishment policy for an economic production quantity model considering rework and multiple shipments
Authors: Ghani Usman , Hayat Mubashir
Published: February 2021

Determining the optimal replenishment lot size and shipment policy for a production setup has been of greater interest during the last few years. This paper derives the optimal replenishment lot size and shipment policy for an Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model with rework of defective items. However, in a real life situation, multi-shipment policy is used in lieu of continuous issuing policy and generation of defective items is inevitable. The proposed research assume that all imperfect quality items are reworked to perfect quality items and then all perfect quality items are delivered to the customers. Mathematical modeling is used in this study and the long-run average productionâ€“inventory-delivery cost function is derived. Convexity of the cost function is proved by using the Hessian matrix equations. The closed-form optimal replenishment lot size and optimal number of shipments that minimize the long-run average costs for such an EPQ model are derived.Â Â

Authors: Zamanhuri Norashikin Ahmad , Rahman Norazah Abd , Bakar Noor Fitrah Abu
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study is to evaluate microwave-assisted extraction at several microwave power and extraction time in extracting oil palm products, such as crude palm oil (CPO) and palm fatty acid (PFA) composition. The exposure time was shortened and overheating was avoided when sterilized mesocarp exposed to microwave prior to Soxhlet extraction in order to obtain good quality oil. The effects of CPO extraction and PFA composition on the distillate produced were investigated. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for the determination and quantification of PFA composition in the distilled products. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that the microwave-assisted extraction technique had efficiently assisted in the release of oil by breaking down the mesocarp cell structure. To fill the research gap of microwave-assisted sterilization in the previous research, microwave-assisted extraction was introduced, in which two processes (i.e., extraction and drying) were conducted in one equipment. Oil yield and color, free fatty acids (FFA), Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI), and carotene contents of the CPO were quantified. At 100 W, the extraction of CPO demonstrated 64% yield produced, with chemical properties of 0.301% FFA, 3.53 DOBI and 1132 ppm carotene with final temperature of 76.2°C during microwave-assisted extraction. The optimum condition for extracting PFA distillate was 300 W for 30 min of exposure time. Additionally, distillate obtained at the optimum condition using microwave-assisted extraction consisted of high palmitic acid (C16:0), caramel-like aroma, and possessed a sweet fragrance.

Golden Kingdoms at Getty
Authors: Richter Kim N.
Published: February 2021

Greater Mexico refers both to the geographic region encompassing modern Mexico and its former territories in the United States, and to the Mexican cultural diaspora. Exhibitions of visual and material culture from greater Mexico have played an important role in articulating identities and affiliations that transcend limited definitions of citizenship. Following an introductory text by Jennifer Josten, five scholars offer firsthand insights into the intellectual, diplomatic, and logistical concerns underpinning key border-crossing exhibitions of the “NAFTA era.” Rubén Ortiz-Torres writes from his unique perspective as a Mexico City–based artist who began exhibiting in the United States in the late 1980s, and as a curator of recent exhibitions that highlight the existence of multiple Mexicos and Americas. Clara Bargellini reflects on a paradigm-shifting cross-border exhibition of the viceregal arts of the missions of northern New Spain. Kim N. Richter considers how the arts of ancient Mesoamerica and the Americas writ large figured within the Getty Foundation’s 2017 Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative. Xóchitl M. Flores-Marcial offers insights into productive institutional collaborations with transnational Indigenous stakeholders, focusing on two recent Southern California exhibitions of the Oaxaca-based Tlacolulokos collective. Luis Vargas-Santiago discusses how Chicana/o/x art entered Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes in 2019 as a crucial component of an exhibition about how Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata’s image has migrated through visual culture. Together, these texts demonstrate how exhibitions can act in the service of advancing more nuanced understandings of cultural and political interactions across greater Mexico.
The League of Women (Liga Kobiet) – the conditions for functioning of the women’s organisation in the communist system of the Polish People’s Republic (in the first period of the organisation’s activity from 1945 to 1975)
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Dajnowicz Małgorzata
Published: February 2021

The League of Women (Liga Kobiet), until 1949 operating under the name of the Socio-Civic League of Women (Społeczno-Obywatelska Liga Kobiet), was a mass women’s organisation functioning in the Polish People’s Republic. Throughout the whole period, one of the priorities set by the organisation was to build up its mass character and, thus, to influence different social, professional and environmental groups of Polish women, fitting into the general agenda of implementing the communist regime in Polish society. Most League of Women’s members were also members to the Polish United Workers’ Party. The League of Women tried to play a role of a “utilitarian” organisation, supporting in a genuine and diverse way the Polish women’s environment. The period between 1945 and 1975 was the first stage of organisation’s activity; in the communist Polish People’s Republic it was a period of “isolation” of the Polish society from the Western world and of a significant influence of the Soviet Union’s policy on the social relations in the country. The League of Women was an example of an East European women’s organisation in the communist era.
Using solubility parameter analysis to understand delignification of poplar and rice straw with catalyzed organosolv fractionation processes
Authors: Cheng Fangchao , Ouyang Tulong , Sun Jianping , Jiang Tao , Luo Jianju
Published: February 2021

Biomass fractionation is important for the further conversion of the cellulosic fraction and the effective utilization of the lignin fraction for the production of biofuels and value-added products. Solvent properties play a crucial role on the fractionation efficiency of lignocellulosics using an organosolv fractionation process catalyzed by acidic ionic liquids (AILs). Herein, 12 organic solvents were selected as co-solvents with water based on their solubility parameters for lignin dissolution, including alcohols, alcohol ethers, lactones, and alkanolamines, in order to fractionate poplar and rice straw. Effects of fractionation liquor solubility parameters on the delignification efficiency of organosolv fractionation were investigated under the same conditions. Relative energy differences (REDs) of the co-solvent systems for lignin dissolution were closely related to the degree of delignification with adjusted coefficients of determination of 0.899 and 0.800 for poplar and rice straw processes, respectively. The application of solubility parameter analysis may provide a rational way to screen solvent or co-solvent fractionation systems for biomass fractionation process.

Authors: Jung Ji Young , Ha Si Young , Kim Tae-Heung , Yang Jae-Kyung
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate the antihistamine activity of steam-exploded oak (Quercus variabilis) extract containing phenolic compounds. The antioxidant activity increased with residence time of the steam explosion process. The 50% EtOH extract had total phenolic compound content of 82.2 % and 46.2 mg GAE/g extract and vanillic acid, ferulic acid, and vanillin were identified. Treatment with 50% EtOH extract decreased the diameters of histamine-induced wheal and erythema responses in human volunteers. In patients with atopic dermatitis, topical administration of 50% EtOH extract led to significant diseases and improvement in terms of sleep disturbance, pruritus, xerosis, desire to scratch, and erythema. This study suggested that steam-exploded oak is rich in phenolic compounds with high antioxidant and antihistamine activities, and the extract may be a promising source of new antihistamine agents and pharmaceuticals.
History and Modern Status of the Black-eared Wheatear, Oenanthe hispanica (L.) (Passeriformes, Muscicapidae), in Ukraine
Authors: Tsvelykh A. N.
Published: February 2021

Th e history of research of the Black-eared Wheatear Oenanthe hispanica (L.) in Ukraine in XIX–XXI centuries is presented. Th e Black-eared Wheatear is now a rare breeding bird in the coastal area of the Crimean peninsula, and a very rare vagrant species on the other territory of Ukraine. Four breeding regions of the Black-eared Wheatear are found in the Crimean peninsula: seacoast between Sudak and Th eodosia cities; neighbourhood of Sevastopol City; Tarkhankut peninsula; Kerch peninsula. Th e fi rst two breeding regions have been known since the middle of XIX century. In the breeding regions, the breeding areas of the Black-eared Wheatear are not constant: the birds almost never nest in a place for a number of years. Oenanthe hispanica breeds in Crimea in the same biotopes as its sibling species, the Pied Wheatear, Oenanthe pleschanka, which is essentially more abundant there. Th e breeding of single Black-eared Wheatears with the numerous Pied Wheatears increases their interspecies hybridization, which is rather common on the Crimean peninsula. Th ree out of fi ve individuals of Oenanthe hispanica collected in Crimea and stored in various museums turned out to be hybrids with Oenanthe pleschanka. Th e Black-eared and Pied Wheatears have hybridized in the Crimean peninsula for a long time: the hybrids have been recorded in XX and in XXI centuries. Th e hybrids do not occur in a specifi c breeding region, and can be found in any of those.

Authors: Chen Aiping , Jia Quanxi
Published: February 2021

Epitaxial vertically aligned nanocomposites (VANs) and their related architectures have shown many intriguing features that are not available from conventional two-dimensional planar multilayers and heterostructures. The ability to control constituent, interface, microstructure, strain, and defects based on VANs has enabled the multiple degrees of freedom to manipulate the optical, magnetic, electrochemical, electronic, ionic, and superconducting properties for specific applications. This field has rapidly expanded from the interest in oxide:oxide to oxide:metal, metal:nitride and nitride:nitride systems. To achieve unparalleled properties of the materials, three-dimensional super-nanocomposites based on a hybrid of VAN and multilayer architectures have been recently explored as well. The challenges and opportunities of VAN films are also discussed in this article.

Published: February 2021

The research is dedicated to the development of special devices (capsules) that can be used to control the mining ore behavior in the technological unit in order to increase processes efficiency. In the first part of the article, the choice of the discrete element method for generating various particle trajectories in the unit (drum pelletizer) was substantiated. This part describes the specific technologies that were used to recognize the pelletizing mode. In particular, conversation of paths to sensor readings is implemented using the Matlab Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox. The obtained readings were processed using two neural network classifiers (DNN and LSTM). As a result, stable models for recognizing the pelletizing modes of the unit were obtained. LSTM recognition accuracy is greater than DNN. The developed approach can be used to recognize the operating modes of other technological units. In addition, data on particles trajectories can be used to improve DEM models of technological processes. Future work consists of the capsule physical implementation and testing the recognition algorithm on a real unit.

Modeling of Empirical Transfer Functions with 3D Velocity Structure
Authors: Hu Zhifeng , Roten Daniel , Olsen Kim B. , Day Steven M.
Published: February 2021

Empirical transfer functions (ETFs) between seismic records observed at the surface and depth represent a powerful tool to estimate site effects for earthquake hazard analysis. However, conventional modeling of site amplification, with assumptions of horizontally polarized shear waves propagating vertically through 1D layered homogeneous media, often poorly predicts the ETFs, particularly, in which large lateral variations of velocity are present. Here, we test whether more accurate site effects can be obtained from theoretical transfer functions (TTFs) extracted from physics-based simulations that naturally incorporate the complex material properties. We select two well-documented downhole sites (the KiK-net site TKCH05 in Japan and the Garner Valley site, Garner Valley Downhole Array, in southern California) for our study. The 3D subsurface geometry at the two sites is estimated by means of the surface topography near the sites and information from the shear-wave profiles obtained from borehole logs. By comparing the TTFs to ETFs at the selected sites, we show how simulations using the calibrated 3D models can significantly improve site amplification estimates as compared to 1D model predictions. The primary reason for this improvement in 3D models is redirection of scattering from vertically propagating to more realistic obliquely propagating waves, which alleviates artificial amplification at nodes in the vertical-incidence response of corresponding 1D approximations, resulting in improvement of site effect estimation. The results demonstrate the importance of reliable calibration of subsurface structure and material properties in site response studies.

Authors: Quyen Phan Gia , Ha Nguyen Tran Thai , Darsono Susilo Nur Aji Cokro , Minh Tran Dang Thanh
Published: February 2021

Research aims: This study focuses on the correlation between income diversification and financial performance, taking into account banks’ size and type of ownership as well as financial crisis.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses financial data of 29 commercial banks in Vietnam during the period from 2005 to 2018. This research employs an Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) regression.Research findings: The results do not find a statistical evidence of a direct effect of banks’ income diversification on their financial performance. However, when considering the classification factors such as bank’s size and type of ownership, the findings show that big-scale and state-owned banks can take advantages of diversification strategies to boost their profitability. Moreover, the study proves that income diversification generates the significantly positive effect on banks’ financial performance during the time of financial crisis.Theoretical contribution/ Originality: Theoretical contribution in order to provide evidence on the direct effect of income diversification on bank’s financial performance in relation with  banks’ size and type of ownership as well as financial crisis.Practitioner/Policy implication:  Further, this research also contributes on managerial contribution for the bank’s manager, policy-makers and investors to get sight of good banks’ financial performance in the context of unstable economy.Research limitation/Implication: The limitations still exist in this research, such as: (1) the number of banks participating in the research sample is a predictable limitation; (2) this research mainly focused on financial variables but ignores the variables representing the manager’s behaviour and the bank’s organization structure; (3) the future studies can focus on these aspects to further explore the hidden picture of diversification strategy and banking performance.

Local Community Participation in the Implementation of REDD+: The Case of Meru Betiri National Park
Authors: Dirgantara Pradipta
Published: February 2021

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus (REDD+)  in Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) East Java – Indonesia, is considered an essential collaborative program between the Indonesian government, International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), and surrounding local communities to mitigate climate change and global warming. In its implementation, community participation plays a significant role because they are impacted directly by REDD+, as stated in the Cancun Agreement and Anchorage Declaration of Indigenous Peoples on Climate Change. Therefore, this research focuses on the participation level and how it contributes to the program. This research used the community participation theory from Choguill and benefited from using mixed methods with a single case strategy. Data were gathered through a questionnaire, a semi-structured interview, and a literature study. The results uncovered that the participation level reached conciliation with the least support of three rungs as a degree of participation. At this stage, the local community and government started to realize their interests by supporting each other. Even so, the government had control in enforcing the decision-making process that involved the community in REDD+. In the end, government and stakeholders at the local and national scales should accelerate community participation through law enforcement and full community involvement in implementing REDD+.

Este artigo descreve um Teste Adaptativo Informatizado (TAI) da Provinha Brasil – Leitura, com base na Teoria da Resposta ao Item. Detalham-se o funcionamento e o desenvolvimento do algoritmo. O TAI foi aplicado com o uso de tablets a 1.983 alunos dos 1º e 2º anos do ensino fundamental, em 15 escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo. Os resultados confirmam a qualidade dos itens da Provinha Brasil, do trabalho realizado nas escolas e, sobretudo, do TAI. Em relação à gestão do tempo de prova, conclui-se que há uma associação positiva entre proficiência e tempo, mas só até certo ponto; os alunos tendem a demorar mais nos itens mais difíceis; essa tendência é mais intensa nos alunos mais proficientes, confirmando a hipótese de que eles tendem a gerir melhor o tempo de prova.

Вперше було створено моделі каналів зв'язку дистанційно пілотованих літальних апаратів, що включають наземну мережу, проаналізовано залежності середнього використання каналу від розміру транзакцій з різними законами статистичного розподілу для часу між транзакціями. Було досліджено канали зв’язку із різними смугами пропускання, вивчено вплив частоти помилок в бітах та шансів відмови пакета на використання каналу зв'язку. Результати показують, що найкращим для передачі даних є закон розподілу LogNormal. Уперше було порівняно передачу даних по каналу зв'язку прямої видимості із ДПЛА та через наземну мережу (поза зоною видимості).
Алгоритми діагностики та парирування відмов каналів вимірювання системи автоматичного управління авіаційного двигуна ТВ3-117 у польотних режимах на основі нейромережевих технологій

Пропонується розв’язання задачі підвищення надійності системи автоматичного управління (САУ) авіаційного двигуна ТВ3-117 на основі введення алгоритмічної надмірності. Метою дослідження є розробка алгоритмів діагностики та парирування відмов вимірювальних каналів для вхідних параметрів вбудованої в САУ лінійної адаптивної бортової математичної моделі авіаційного двигуна ТВ3-117 (LABEM). Наведено основні співвідношення LABEM. В якості основи статичної моделі двигуна використовується дросельна характеристика індивідуального двигуна, отримана на здавальних випробуваннях або на «гонці» в експлуатації після проведення обслуговування. Динамічна лінійна модель авіаційного двигуна ТВ3-117 нижнього рівня будується за методом простору станів. Технічні і теоретичних проблем практичної реалізації резервування за допомогою моделі пов’язані з високою розмірністю простору станів двигуна, що істотно перевищує розмірність вектору вимірюваних на борту параметрів. Виникає проблема ідентифікації відмови датчика з подальшим заміщенням інформації модельним значенням. Обґрунтовано необхідність побудови алгоритмів виявлення і локалізації відмов вимірювальних каналів двоканальних датчиків, що діють в умовах перешкод. Для підвищення надійності вхідної інформації по контуру витрати палива застосовуються алгоритми Калман-фільтрації з вбудованою логікою виявлення та локалізації відмови вимірювального каналу. Описано алгоритми виявлення та локалізації відмов датчиків в контурі дозуючої голки на основі фільтрів Калмана. Алгоритми будуються на обчисленні сигнатури відмови як зваженої суми квадратів відхилень (WSSR), яку порівнюють з обраним пороговим значенням. Результати випробувань на моторному стенді і моделювання в середовищі MatLab показали, що застосування запропонованих алгоритмів в складі LABEM дозволяє досягти високих показників надійності і якості автоматичного управління.

Постановка проблеми: стаття є доповненням до попередніх публікацій та розглядає питання визначення ризику як ймовірності зміни майбутньої рентабельності активів. В іншому визначенні, ризик активів - це різниця між фактичним прибутковістю інвестицій та очікуваним значенням. Мета: визначити детермінанти, знайти значну залежність між систематичним ризиком та рентабельністю активів на Тегеранській фондовій біржі за допомогою методу, відмінного від звичайних економетричних методів. Вхідні дані: стаття досліджує часовий діапазон фінансової інформації, пов’язаної з результатами фінансових років з 2012 по 2017 рік усіх компаній, прийнятих на Тегеранській фондовій біржі, які виробляють хімічні та миючі матеріали, у загальній кількості 30 компаній. Методи: для того, щоб перевірити гіпотезу дослідження, проаналізовано інформацію про систематичний ризик та прибутковістю активів за два періоди коливань та низьких коливань, використовуючи метод дискретного перетворення вейвлетів з вейвлетом з меншим періодом часу за допомогою програмного забезпечення MATLAB, а потім для тестування гіпотез був використаний регресійний аналіз для дослідження зміни між ними. Після збору необхідних даних компаній, гіпотези дослідження були проаналізовані за допомогою вейвлет-аналізу та проаналізовані за допомогою програмного забезпечення SPSS та MATLAB. Результати: Результати тестування гіпотези дослідження вказують на значну залежність між систематичним ризиком та прибутковістю в періоди високої мінливості та довгострокового існування. Для перевірки гіпотези використовується регресійний аналіз. Результати перевірки гіпотези дослідження вказують на значну залежність між систематичним ризиком та прибутковістю в періоди високої мінливості та довгострокового існування. Висновок: Результати показують, що існує суттєва залежність між системним ризиком та прибутковістю протягом періоду коливань середньо- та довгострокових горизонтів. У часи низької волатильності існує значний взаємозв'язок між систематичним ризиком та рентабельністю на середньострокові горизонти (94 і 50 днів), але лише в довгостроковому горизонті в 182 дні існує суттєва залежність між ризиком і прибутковістю.

Published: February 2021

This chapter analyses factors that add value to the businesses in 2020, especially the new businesses from the digital economy. Many Romanian companies fight hard to find their way to success (or survival) in the absence of one valuable objective of the business and in this chapter we will analyze them. This chapter researches the enterprise value and its determinants, in order to understand the ways to increase the company value, while considering Jensen’s theory of value maximization as the single important objective of a company.
Integration Potential of Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific
Authors: Arapova E.
Published: February 2021

During the 2014 APEC summit the participating countries agreed to move towards a region-wide economic integration and approved China-backed roadmap to promote the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP). The paper examines prospects for economic integration in the Asia-Pacific in the framework of 21 APEC participating members. It aims to measure the “integration potential” of the FTAAP on the basis of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the actual statistic data, to explore key obstacles hampering economic integration in the region. The research comes from the theory of convergence and concept of proximity. They suppose that the higher is the degree of homogeneity in economic development and regulatory regimes of the integrating countries the higher is their “integration potential”. The objective of the author’s analysis is to measure the “integration potential” of APEC countries in four directions: trade liberalization, free movement of investments, monetary and banking integration, free division of labor. Initial estimates of the FTAAP prospects base on the merchandize trade complementarity indices and coefficients of variation analysis. Besides, the research uses hierarchical cluster analysis that helps to classify countries in different groups according to similarity of their economic typologies. This methodology allows to reveal the favorable algorithm of regional economic integration in the framework of the “hybrid approach” (or “open regionalism” adopted for APEC countries in 1989) which encourages the countries to enter into free trade agreements on a bilateral basis or to make offers to the APEC membership as a whole. Final conclusions are based on the results of authors’ calculations with consideration for contemporary trends of the member countries’ economic development and long-term strategies of economic growth.
