Evaluation of Thyroid Hormones Levels in Libyan Patients with Chronic Renal Failure Before and AFTER Maintenance Hemodialysis
Authors: Muhammed Aisha
Published: October 2021

Data from recent studies revealed that kidney diseases might affect the thyroid function in various ways. A variety of alterations in thyroid hormone levels and metabolism have also been reported in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in some studied population. In addition, it was reported that serum levels of both T3 and T4 might altered immediately after a hemodialysis (HD) treatment than before. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the level of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in CRF Libyan patients before and after HD. This study was carried out on 46 CRF patients (30 male and 16 female) with a mean age of 47.46 ±15.75 years. These patients were treated at the hemodialysis unit of Educational Central Zelitin Hospital, Zelitin, Libya. None of these patients apparently have any thyroid problems and no history of drug intake that may affect thyroid function. Blood samples were taken from each patient to measure serum levels of T3 and T4, before and after HD. In addition, the effect of several variables include age, gender, body mass index (BMI), presence of both hypertension and, diabetes mellitus and duration of kidney dialysis on serum levels of T3and T4 before and after HD were also studied. After HD, there was a statistically significant increase in the serum levels of T3, T4. The age, gender, BMI, duration of kidney dialysis and the presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus did not have any significant effect on the serum level of T3 and T4 before and after HD. However, the serum levels of T3 and T4 were still in the normal range in these examined patients either before or after HD. From these findings, it can be concluded that these CRF patients may be in a euthyroid state, because the serum levels of T3 and T4 were in the normal range. In addition, HD was seem to improve the T3 and T4 thyroid hormone concentrations, suggesting that HD might activate the secretion of thyroid glandand catabolism. The other variables did not play any role in thyroid hormone levels in these patients either before or after HD. It is highly recommended that large scale evaluation of thyroid hormone levels in Libyan CRF patients is performed more patients, especially elderly patients.
Fluid Therapy (FT) Complications: Volumetric Overload (VO) in the patho-Aetiology of VO Shocks (VOS) and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Authors: N. Ghanem Ahmed
Published: October 2021

Fluid therapy (FT) was introduced during WW2. Ever since its complications have been frequently reported but notably some serious complications have been overlooked. The role of volumetric overload (VO) in inducing VU shocks (VOS) and causing the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has remained overlooked, unrecognized, and underestimated till recently. The role of FT complications in inducing VOS and causing ARDS is hard to detect because VOS is a shock that complicates another existing shock seamlessly and un-noticed. The author attributes this to the faulty rules on FT dictated by the wrong Starling’s law that causes many errors and misconceptions of FT which mislead physicians into giving too much fluid during shock resuscitation. The research findings on the wrong Starling’s law and how it has been corrected based on the hydrodynamic of the porous orifice (G) tube and the newly recognized VOS and the new patho-aetiology and therapy of ARDS are summarized here. Other authors in support of this contention are quoted. The errors on current FT and its corrections are given. Finally, a new prospective cohort study on FT and ARDS is recommended and a call for new guidelines on FT is urgently needed.

Published: October 2021

Paleopathology is the branch of science that is responsible for the study of diseases suffered by our ancestors, in Cuba some studies have been carried out on pathologies suffered by the aborigines. The objective is to present a specimen of human diaphyseal bone found in the funerary site of the "Cueva de los Chivos" in the Sumidero de Jibacoa Valley, Guamuhaya mountain massif, municipality of Manicaragua, Villa Clara province, Cuba in excavations carried out between the years 2000 and 2002 by the archeology group of the Center for Environmental Studies and Services of CITMA in Villa Clara. Presentation: It is a tibia fragment due to its thickness and triangular shape with periosteal thickening, cortical irregularity and a large number of crypts, whose radiography shows the presence of bone sequestration with the corresponding involvement and signs of periostitis. The skeletal remains found show evidence of having suffered from chronic osteomyelitis. Based on the archaeological materials found at the funerary site, it was determined that these belonged to pre-agricultural pottery groups that populated the island between 2000 and 6000 years ago. Conclusions: The Cuban aboriginal groups had elementary knowledge of orthopedic conditions such as bone infections and their treatment in all probability, evidenced by the chronicity of osteomyelitis presented in this specimen which survived for a period of time.

Hindfoot pain is a common clinical problem that can be due to multiple alterations, it can appear due to bone or soft tissue causes, it is established in a small anatomical area. There are different methods of treatment for these conditions, ranging from simple guidelines in lifestyle to surgery. In this work, patients are divided into four groups with different treatment methods, each group was assigned a different therapeutic option, which will increase its degree of invasion as the number of the group increases. Infiltration with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new technique of cell regenerative therapy and was applied in one of the groups, taking advantage of the regenerative, healing and anti-inflammatory properties of the mentioned therapy.
Utility of telemedicine in ophthalmology clinic during COVID-19 era
Authors: Iqbal Nadeem
Published: October 2021

Due to safety concerns to health care workers and the patients alike, hospitals are have been in a desperate search for medical supplies and physicians in the face of overloaded hospitals. The need for social distancing to safeguard the health care personnel and patients have warranted new tools for running an ophthalmic clinic. Before the implementation of social distancing measures, most patients were ignorant of a telemedicine option in clinical visits. Also, leading telehealth platforms have reported a tremendous increase in virtual patient visits. This rise has been proportional to the regional impacts brought by coronavirus infection. In this review article, we tried to highlight the challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients in the ophthalmology clinic.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus is a serious challenge for the entire medical and scientific community. Medical institutions are facing record numbers of patients and conflicting claims about SARS-CoV-2 and due to its mutagenic properties, thanks to the D614G protein from Coronavirus (CoV) defining the determines the mutagenicity of SARS - CoV and MERS-CoV [1,2]. With the expansion of the COVID-19 Pandemic, researchers have reported [3] clinical cases of multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), similar to Kawasaki disease (KD). Due to the absence of a diagnostic marker for KD, the latter is established according to the criteria of the American Society of Cardiology, in this situation with associated SARS-CoV-2 infection. We deem it appropriate to report five clinical cases of KD that met the criteria for defining an MIS-C case as defined by WHO.
A Patient-Centric Care Approach to Facilitate the Design of an Artificial Intelligence Application in Geriatric Care Management of Heart Failure Readmissions
Authors: Wan Thomas
Published: October 2021

The examination of human factors’ role in moderating medical interventions and hospitalizations and/or rehospitalization of heart failure (HF) patients. Objectives: The primary purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to show relevant human factors influencing the rehospitalization of persons with heart failure by developing a systematic algorithm generated from the cited randomized trials; and 2) to examine how the self-care principles, such as choice/efficacy, restfulness, healing environment, activity, trust, interpersonal relationships, outlook, and nutrition, may reduce heart failure readmissions. Methods: The meta-analytic approach generated a theoretically relevant and empirically validated self-care management decision support protocol for HF. Statistical modeling of the effects of eight human factors for the reduction of HF readmissions was presented. Findings: The systematic review and meta-analysis approach documents the results of randomized clinical trials that affect heart failure hospitalization by selected human factors. A patient-centered decision support system was developed to facilitate the self-care management of heart failure. Discussion: Our research generates systematic knowledge about the importance of human-factor principles in the provision of geriatric care for heart failure. Using shared decision-making strategies under the population health management approach could enhance the quality of care and reduce costly readmissions of heart failure, particularly for elderly patients.

Background: Up to now COVID-19 treatment is a matter of great debate. Several trials and observational studies have brought conflicting results regarding the efficacy of some repurposed drugs suggested treating COVID-19, stressing the need for further research. Objective: This study aimed to add to the existing literature, some evidence on the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZ) as suggested drugs for COVID-19 treatment. Materials and Methods: This observational study reports the experience of conventional treatment (CT) combining HCQ plus AZ applied in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We compared epidemiological and clinical data between 1,100 (89%) subjects submitted to the CT and 135 (11%) who did not receive the CT. Survival analyses including Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression were used to determine the clinical progress at day 10 and the survival likelihood at day 15, from the treatment initiation date. Results: Clinical outcome is much better in the CT group on D10 than in the comparison group (p=0.001). The adverse effects reported are minor and equivalent in both groups (3% vs 3%). Conclusion: This preliminary observational study suggests a beneficial and safe effect of conventional treatment in our country and justifies the continuation of this therapeutic protocol at this time. However, larger analytical studies with more robust evaluation criteria are needed to strengthen the power of observations.

Authors: Alaya Zeineb , Bouajina Elyès , Braham Mouna
Published: October 2021

Background: Cushing's disease is an endocrine disorder and may be associated with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the hip. We report the case of avascular necrosis of the femoral heads (AVNFH) as the presenting manifestation of Cushing's disease. Case presentation: A 29-year-old male patient was referred to our department because of non-traumatic bilateral hip pain evolving for two years. The pain was associated with lameness when walking. He noticed a drop in libido since one year with erectile dysfunction. Physical examination revealed facio-truncal obesity, abdominal violaceous striae, dorsal hyper-kyphosis, a pain and limitation of internal rotation of the left hip with a Lequesne index of 16. The standard radiography showed a loss of sphericity of the left femoral head with an aspect of eggshell. The MRI confirmed the diagnosis of a bilateral AVNFH. The baseline cortisol level was 287 ng/ml. AVNFH as the presenting manifestation of Cushing's disease was suspected and confirmed by a pituitary MRI which revealed a pituitary adenoma. A discharge of the hips was indicated. The patient underwent surgical resection of the adenoma and was referred to the endocrinology department. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma (corticotrope adenoma). The patient has also received an intravenous perfusion of 5 mg of Zoledronic acid. The follow up was marked by the regression of the symptoms of Cushing's disease and the hip pain. Conclusion: AVNFH as the presenting manifestation of Cushing's disease is rarely described. Hence, it’s needed to exclude endogenous hypercorticism in any patient with idiopathic osteonecrosis.

Introduction: Nephrolithiasis is a urinary tract stone disease that can be found in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. This disease is the three most common diseases in the field of urology besides urinary tract infections and benign prostate enlargement. Kidney stones are the most common, with an estimated lifetime prevalence as high as 15%. Bladder stones have significant morbidity but occur much less frequently than kidney stones. Many factors cause reduced urine flow and cause obstruction, one of which is urine static and decreased urine volume due to dehydration and inadequate fluid intake, this can increase the risk of nephrolithiasis. Low urine flow is a common abnormal symptom. In addition, various conditions that trigger nephrolithiasis such as the composition of various stones are the main factors in identifying the cause of nephrolithiasis. Aims of this article is to review risk factors and pathophysiology of nephrolithiasis. Discussion: Symptoms associated with urinary tract stones depend on the location of the stone, the size of the stone, and any complications that have occurred. Usually, stones in the kidney calyx are asymptomatic. When the stone falls off and descends into the narrow ureter, it becomes symptomatic. Stones generally get stuck in the narrowest part of the ureter, such as the uretero-pelvic junction, when the ureter crosses the iliac vasa, and the uretero-vesical junction. The main symptom of ureteric stones is often an acute onset of pain in the back. This pain can be colicky or not. Colic pain occurs because the peristaltic activity of the smooth muscle of the calical system or ureter increases in an attempt to remove stones from the urinary tract. The increase in peristalsis causes the intraluminal pressure to increase so that there is stretching of the nerve terminals that provide a sensation of pain. The pain can radiate from the pelvis and to the ipsilateral groin. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting and hematuria. Hematuria can occur macros or microscopy from urinalysis. Hematuria occurs as a result of trauma to the urinary tract mucosa caused by stones. Conclusion: Nephrolithiasis is rock-forming salt reaches a urine concentration that exceeds the equilibrium point between the dissolved component and crystallization occurs. There are several risk factors that nephrolithiasis occurs due to various causes. Therapy and lifestyle changes are interventions that can change risk factors, but there are also risk factors that cannot be changed.
An Ectopic Pelvic Kidney
Authors: Liu Wei , Yang Zhi , Xiang Qin
Published: October 2021

A 46-year-old man presented to the internal medicine department with a 1-year history of abdominal pain. His medical history was non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Physical examination was unremarkable. As part of the evaluation, computed tomography of abdomen was performed. Focused assessment with computed tomography confirmed no evidence of ascites, but the left kidney could not be identified. A whole-body computed tomography discovered a pelvic left kidney (Figure 1A). Renal function of the patient was normal with a creatinine level of 0.89 mg per deciliter (77 µmol per liter) (normal range, 0.5 to 1.1 mg per deciliter [48 to 90 µmol per liter]). It is a common incidental finding because the affected persons are commonly asymptomatic. Renal ectopia is commonly caused by failure of mature kidney to reach its natural location in renal fossa [1]. The uncommon congenital abnormality was related to the aberrant processes during embryogenesis [2]. Ectopic kidney may be found in pelvic, abdominal, iliac, and thoracic location, among which pelvic ectopia is estimated to occur in 1 of 3000 autopsies [3]. As in this case, the rare condition may become unknown until computed tomography imaging is performed for another reason. Finally, the patient’s abdominal pain was attributed to the duodenal ulcer confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and he was treated with a proton pump inhibitor.
Ἀναγωγή in Ancient Greek Exegetical Literature
Authors: Тимофеев Борис
Published: October 2021

Термин ἀναγωγή довольно часто употребляется в древних памятниках христианской богословской и экзегетической литературы в разных значениях, что во многом затрудняет понимание этого слова в каждом отдельном случае. В рамках экзегетической процедуры ἀναγωγή употребляется в метафорическом значении и обозначает переносный смысл, а иногда и переносное понимание текста, когда речь идёт о метафорическом содержании фигур речи или о присутствии мистического аллегорического смысла. Современная отечественная библейская наука склонна видеть в ἀναγωγή определённый духовный метод/смысл интерпретации Священного Писания (чаще всего имеется в виду эсхатологическое толкование). Когда эта модель переносится на почву древней экзегетической литературы, то неизбежно возникает противоречие между современным определением и своеобразием языка древних авторов. В рамках данной статьи предпринимается попытка рассмотреть основные значения ἀναγωγή в древних экзегетических памятниках.

Ἀναγωγή is quite often used in ancient monuments of Christian theological and exegetical literature in different meanings, which greatly complicates the understanding of this word in each individual case. Within the framework of the exegetical procedure, anagoge is used in a metaphorical meaning and denotes a figurative meaning, and sometimes at the same time a figurative understanding of the text, when it comes to the metaphorical content of figures of speech, or the presence of a mystical allegorical meaning. Modern Russian biblical science tends to see in ἀναγωγή a certain spiritual method/meaning of the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures (most often it means the eschatological interpretation). When this model is transferred to the soil of ancient exegetical literature, then a contradiction arises between the modern definition and the originality of the language of ancient authors. Within the framework of this article, an attempt is made to consider the main meanings of ἀναγωγή in ancient exegetical monuments.

Published: October 2021

Background: The growth and development of children are two events that are different in nature but are related to one another. It is possible for people in downtown areas to experience easy internet access, so that everything cannot be separated from digital media. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic like today, where children have to stay at home more, besides that learning is also done from home, so the screen time has increased. The goals of the research is to analyze the relationship between screen time among children with nutritional status and their development.Methods: The research design used cross sectional analysis. The population is all children aged 3-5 years in Kalumpang Village in November 2020 as many as 497 children, the number of samples is 84 children using purposive sampling technique.Results: Based on the spearman-rank statistical test, it is known that p-value = 0.002 (p-value α), which with the correlation coefficient (r) = 0.330 that the relationship between Screen time with nutritional status is in the low category and has a positive relationship direction, namely the higher the screen time, the higher the nutritional status. Meanwhile, based on the spearman-rank statistical test, it is known that p-value = 0.001 (p-value α), with the correlation coefficient (r) = 0.371 that the relationship between Screen time with development is in the low category and has a positive relationship direction, namely the higher the screen time, the development will deviate from age.Conclusion: There is a relationship between screen time and nutritional status and  there is a relationship between screen time and children development. So it is very important to improve parental control behavior towards the use of electronic devices in children aged 3-5 years old.
Schottland nach der Parlamentswahl ‒ Auf dem Weg in die Unabhängigkeit?
Authors: Adorf Philipp
Published: October 2021

Der Beitrag analysiert das Wahlergebnis der im Mai 2021 durchgeführten schottischen Regionalwahlen im Kontext der Konsequenzen auf die Zukunft des Vereinigten Königreichs. Als erste schottische Parlamentswahl nach dem Brexit-Volksentscheid, stellte die SNP den Urnengang als eine Art Referendum bezüglich eines zweiten Unabhängigkeitsreferendums dar: Mit dem Erhalt einer eigenen absoluten Mehrheit, so die SNP-Argumentation, müsse zweifelsfrei zeitnah eine erneute Volksabstimmung zur Zukunft Schottlands angesetzt werden. Auch wenn die schottischen Nationalisten zusammen mit den Grünen, die sich ebenfalls für die Unabhängigkeit aussprechen, eine Parlamentsmehrheit erreichten, stehen zahlreiche Hürden auf dem Weg zu einem erneuten Unabhängigkeitsreferendum – ein Sieg des separatistischen Lagers ist trotz des von der Johnson Regierung ausgehandelten vergleichsweisen „harten“ Brexits und dessen Unpopularität in Schottland wie folgend aufgezeigt wird ebenso alles andere als sicher.
Unterricht und Schulen in der Pandemie: Versuch einer Zwischenbilanz
Authors: Immerfall Stefan
Published: October 2021

Die Corona-Krise traf auf ein Schul- und Bildungssystem mit vielen Baustellen. Der Beitrag schildert die verschiedenen Phasen der Schulschließungen, betrachtet den bildungsadministrativen Umgang mit der Corona-Pandemie und fasst Einschätzungen aus Sicht von Lehrkräften, Eltern und Schülerinnen und Schüler zusammen. Während viele Lehrkräfte von positiven (Selbst-)Lerneffekten im Bereich der Digitalisierung berichteten, setzten Kultusministerien vorwiegend auf das Prinzip Hoffnung. Für Kinder und Jugendliche war der Wegfall strukturierter Sozialkontakte nicht weniger belastend als die absehbaren Lernlücken. Das gilt in besonderer Weise für leistungsschwächere sowie für Schülerinnen und Schüler aus sozial schlechter gestellten Haushalten. Die angedachten "Aufholpakete", um Corona bedingte Lernlücken aufzufangen, sollten deshalb individuell gestaltet sein und den sozial-emotionalen Bereich mit einschließen.

Authors: Petrova I. , Kurdes O.
Published: October 2021

The Article purpose is identification of shortcomings in training, retraining and advanced training of fingerprint experts as well as outline of scientific basis for improving this area of activity. The analysis of domestic scientists’ developments has made it possible to establish that in Ukraine there is no single unified regulatory legal act governing training, retraining and advanced training of a forensic expert, regardless of his institutional subordination.
It is proved that current regulatory legal framework for professional training of forensic experts, in particular fingerprint experts, of the system of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is at the stage of formation and development and requires further reformation. It is necessary to highlight the section: Procedure for specialists’ training and internship in the Regulations on the Central Expert Qualification Commission under the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and Certification of Forensic Experts, and to develop a separate regulatory legal act regarding the procedure for advanced training on its basis.
Particular attention is drawn to the absence of guidelines on the organization of the education process while forensic expert training, negatively affecting the process of learning during on-site training (in forensic science institutions). Expediency of the development of guidelines on forensic experts’ training for each individual expert specialization is established, which are suggested to be added as separate R&D topics to research work plan of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. It is indicated that a detailed study of the introduction of such a component as mentoring into the system of forensic experts’ training is essential.
It is stressed that development of the regulatory legal framework for training forensic experts abroad in corresponding forensic science institutions, and the coordination of this area of activity by the Ministry will have a positive impact not only on the quality of training but also on the acquisition of world experience with the subsequent possibility of improving methods for conducting fingerprint analyses.

A significant part of the scientific heritage of M. S. Bokarius, including reports, overviews, and reviews of the works of leading forensic medical examiners and lawyers from around the world has no bibliographic description and has not been put into scientific circulation. Throughout the pages of "Archives of Criminology and Forensic Medicine" and the Ukrainian-language journal: "Issues of Criminalistics and Forensic Science", the scientist reviewed more than 80 research papers. The peculiarity of the Editorial Board of Bokarius "Archives…" was that a significant number of reviews, overviews, etc., was published by the edition.
Mykolai Serhiiovych is an author of more than 70 full-fledged analytical reports; and another 10 in the journal: "Issues of Criminalistics and Forensic Science". The scientist reviewed not only articles, textbooks, monographs by domestic authors, but also research papers of many foreign forensic scientists and criminologists from all over Europe, the USA, Japan, and countries of South America. Reports of scientific articles were reproduced in the journal in French, German and English, Italian and Spanish. All this became possible due to the fact that Mykolai Serhiiovych himself was a gifted linguist and spoke 17 foreign languages.
The Article Purpose is a scientific search for new works by the scientist and a fundamental study of 5 issues of the "Archives of Criminology and ForensicMedicine" published in 1926—1927 and 6 issues of the "Issues of Criminalistics and Forensic Science" journal for 1931.

The purpose of the publication is to formulate theoretic and methodological provisions on the prospects for the development of social capital of localized post-industrial scientific and educational-production clusters that embody the idea of dynamic formation of innovatively oriented ecosystems of the national economy. The research is devoted to the prospects of forming the social capital of the national economy (SKNE) as a productive value of interpersonal and intergroup network connections implemented in the production of thoughtful and coordinated results of social activities. Particular attention is paid to the distinction of key features of SKNE, unlike other forms of capital assets in the production of goods and services. The comparative matrix of identification of differences inherent in different forms of capital, according to the criteria of features of formation and implementation, natural essence, degree of distribution, ability to alienate, features of investment, inflation discounting in the process of consumption, level of participation in the formation of “chains” of value of goods and services, ability to liquidity and conversion, features of valuation methods are given. The characteristic factors of transformation of structural, relational and cognitive elements of SKNE in terms of circumstances and requirements of formation of post-industrial, post-information, network, humanomic, behavioral economy of saving and collective use of public goods are investigated. Fully the requirements of the innoving mechanism of regulation of SKNE meets the incorporation to the tools for the implementation of goals and objectives of its development of means of forecasting the future state, structure, prospects for increasing the cost of elements. This provides an opportunity to increase SKNE on the basis of Foresight procedures for analyzing the impact of these factors, formulating and modernizing the mission of forecasting inclusive social capital, a comprehensive specification of the regulatory sector, taking into account macroeconomic development scenarios. The prospects for further research are seen in the implementation of imitation verbal models of social capital adapted to the needs of the different level of national economy: microeconomic – “Individual and egocentric network”, mesoeconomic – “Sociocentric Network”, macroeconomic – “Civil Society”.

The paper presents an attempt to study new qualitative characteristics of money that they will receive in the event of legalization of options for digital currencies in the world market. The logic of the development of the modern cryptocurrency segment is such that they will potentially be able to change the world market towards a complete rejection of the cash. This, in turn, will significantly change the system of commodity-money relations in favor of holders or managers of digital currencies, which will become uncontrollable from both their passive owners and the state. It is shown that the characteristics of digital money can gradually shift towards their endless illiquidity, as well as towards the gradual elimination of the concept of equivalence in commodity exchange. In this case it is possible to change the entire ideology of business, as the basis of the modern economy. Possibility to localize the likely excess composition of digital money, a large-scale growth of the service market is considered, as an alternative to the market of material goods. Digital money itself can be a system for irreversible changes in the conditions of controllability of any trading operations. Nowadays there are certain prerequisites for this: the global expansion of the services market as an active segment of the business, as an alternative to the goods market; a cryptocurrency with starting capabilities, as a reasonable currency with unlimited inflationary opportunities; the factor of counteraction to these changes on the part of the global banking system, as indirect evidence of such prerequisites, etc. The paper presents data on the calculation of risks associated with the financial instability of some countries’ economies during the transition from system cash to digital calculations. It is shown that a systemic transition to new rules for dealing with an infinite digital money supply can lead to the elimination of the system of equivalent exchange of the "commodity-money-commodity" type, into the area of uncontrolled expansion of the services market, as a commodity segment capable of hiding digital unsecured money supply.

The article substantiates the important role of agriculture in the economic system of Ukraine. The key tendencies of functioning of the enterprises of the agrarian sector of Ukraine are revealed. The dynamics of agricultural production volumes is studied. The sequence of application of the method of multifactor dynamic regression modeling is outlined. The study calculated the impact of the functioning of agricultural enterprises on the index of agricultural production. Improving the competitiveness of the national agricultural sector involves the sustainable operation of all its interconnected subsystems: agro-industrial production; food markets; sale, distribution and consumption of food; personnel, financial, logistical, technological, informational and scientific support. However, in modern conditions, the functioning of agricultural enterprises is accompanied by a number of problematic aspects, which significantly hinders their long-term development. In the context of European integration there is an objective need to form effective mechanisms to strengthen the competitive position of Ukrainian. The agricultural sector plays a strategic role in the socio-economic development of the country. The increase in agricultural production and the growth of per capita income of the rural population together with industrialization and urbanization lead to an increase in demand for industrial production. According to the results of the calculations based on the balance cross-section regression, the indicators of functioning of agricultural enterprises that have the greatest impact on the index of agricultural production are identified. According to the results of the analysis, the greatest influence among the studied indicators on the index of agricultural production is noted: the volume of production of roots, tubers, crops of vegetables and melons by food farms of all categories; volumes of production of technical crops by enterprises; costs of enterprises for fuel and lubricants. Significant positive impact is also exerted by the area from which enterprises harvested cereals and legumes and the yield of cereals and legumes at enterprises.

The purpose of this publication is to study the system of economic security parameters and improve the process of using RADAR logic as an element of assessing the information security of the enterprise. The importance of the concept of economic security of enterprises (EBP) is that scientists recognize it as an important factor in national security, since the real economy is an environment of planning, organization and the best use of resources. Four main factors of EBP are considered: a) planning; b) monitoring of the external and internal environment; (b) identifying and implementing threat response measures; d) control and improvement of the system. Taking into account the turbulence of the external environment, the impact on the formation of parameters of the EBP of macro-, meso- and microeconomic level factors is investigated. It is proposed to lay the methodology based on the model of the European Quality Management Fund (EFQM) as the basis for the formation of the EBP culture. Its goal is to achieve a high level of business excellence, the direction is to promote the processes of coordination of business and security goals, coordination of efforts to achieve sustainable security indicators, the formation of market knowledge and best practices for their exchange. The prospects for practical use of the EFQM model, the components of which are: basic concepts of perfection are carefully studied; criteria; RADAR logic. The conclusion about the feasibility of implementing the RADAR system is substantiated. Full and comprehensive implementation of the system can have a positive impact on the level of short-term liquidity of the company's assets, its long-term solvency, the formation of the desired level of profitability for shareholders, and generate positive external effects for society and the environment. The complexity of ensuring the EBP is explained by the variety of manifestations and relationships of interactive elements among the internal components of enterprises and the unpredictability of the manifestation of external factors. A logical conclusion is drawn about the importance of the EBP concept, its ability to include a significant number of factors in the sphere of management influence. The direct consequences of using the EBP concept are the comprehensive provision of both its own economic security and the fundamental principles of its organization, the safety of the activities of individuals, the ability to take into account numerous factors in the formation of the actual level of regional, national and international economic security of the state. The strategic directions of further research are outlined: study, schematization, numerical formalization of system-structural relations of components and threats to economic security of enterprises, the real sector and the national economy as a whole.
