Published: September 2021

Özellikle 1990’lı yıllardan günümüze kadar geçen sürede yaşanan kurumsal şirket çöküşleri kurumların faaliyetlerini sağlıklı bir şekilde sürdürebilmeleri için etkin iç kontrol sistemlerinin kurulmasının gerekliliğini gözler önüne sermiştir. Kurumsal çöküşlerin her biri bu anlamda gerek düzenleyici otoriteler gerekse yöneticiler için birer ders niteliğinde olmuştur. Bu kurumsal çöküşlerden birisi de Barings’in 1995 yılındaki iflasıdır. Barings örneğinin incelenmesi neticesinde, yaklaşık iki yüzyıllık bir geçmişi olan ve İngiltere’nin en büyük ticari bankası statüsündeki bankanın iç kontrol sistemlerindeki zafiyetler sebebiyle bir çalışanı tarafından gerçekleştirilen yetkisiz işlemler sonucundaki çöküşü görülmektedir. Bu çalışma iç kontrol sistemlerinin kurumlar için önemini ve Barings’in çöküşünün bu çerçevede irdelenmesini içermektedir.

Published: September 2021

FinTek kavramı “Financial Technology” ifadesinin kısaltılmış halidir. Çevik ve yenilikçi iş yapma anlayışını karşılayan bu ifade kimi zaman girişimci şirketleri anlatırken genel manada finans sektöründeki yenilikçi teknolojik hizmetleri ifade etmektedir. Dünyada ve Türkiye’de sayıları hızla artan bu teknolojiler finans ve bankacılık sektörünü sarsıcı biçimde etkilerken yeni bir dünyanın kapılarını aralamaktadır. Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren Katılım bankaları da bu değişimi yakalamaya çalışan oyunculardandır. Katılım bankaları özel finans kurumlarından banka olmaya ve bugüne kadar geçirdiği süreçte sürekli olarak geleneksel bankaların gölgesinde kalmıştır. Bu durumu pazar payı, müşteri sayısı ve karlılık rasyolarından okumak mümkündür. Buna rağmen katılım bankaları finansal teknolojiler konusunda öncü olmaya gayret etmiş ve bunu bir fırsat olarak görmüşlerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, katılım bankalarının finansal teknolojilerde yoğunlaştığı çalışmaların incelenmesi ve sektöre yaptığı katkıların ortaya konulmasıdır. Çalışmada öncelikle FinTek ve günümüz uygulamalarına değinilmiş ardından katılım bankalarının FinTek uygulamaları sınıflandırılarak incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre katılım bankalarının tahsilatlara, sanal poslara, para transferlerine, hesap ve ekstre servislerine ilişkin finansal teknolojiler üzerinde yoğunlaştığı anlaşılmıştır. İlgili teknolojilerin sektöre yaptığı katkılar incelendiğinde ise karlılık ve müşteri portföyünü genişletme gibi birçok konuda katkıları saptanmıştır.

A Guerra do Golfo Pérsico e os quinhentos anos da América
Authors: Hoornaert Eduardo
Published: September 2021

A uma distância de quase um ano de sua deflagração a guerra no golfo pérsico continua habitando os espíritos. Parece que na medida em que essa guerra prenunciou a eventualidade de certos perigos que podem afligir a humanidade no futuro, ela continua sendo analisada nos seus diversos aspectos, tanto na grande imprensa como nas publicações especializadas. Assim lemos com espanto que tudo começou logo no início do mês de agosto de 1990, quando o Emir do Kuwait investiu nada menos que 11 milhões de dólares logo após a invasão de sua terra pelo Iraque para que se construa sua “imagem” no mundo da comunicação de massa e que esta se distribua pelos canais da TV. Os “image-makers” fizeram um trabalho tecnicamente perfeito, sem contudo contar com os aspectos altamente questionáveis de um ponto de vista ético. Os diversos canais de TV que receberam de graça os vídeos preparados pelo Emir também não fizeram objeção de ordem ética e divulgaram tranquilamente mensagens elaboradas para denegrir sistematicamente o Iraque e suscitar um ódio generalizado contra esse país.

Published: September 2021

Ön hidroliz, kraft kağıt hamuru üretiminden önce hemiselülozların uzaklaştırılması için odun yongalarının yüksek sıcaklıkta işleme tabi tutulması olarak tanınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Karakavak (Populus nigra L.) yongalarına 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 ve 50 dakika boyunca 170 °C'de sıcak su ile ön hidroliz uygulanmış ve ön hidrolizin yongaların kimyasal bileşiminde yarattığı değişimler incelenmiştir. Ön hidroliz, yongaların α-selüloz ve ekstraktif madde içeriklerini artırırken, lignin, holoselüloz ve hemiselüloz içeriklerini azaltmıştır. Hemiselülozların ön hidroliz işleminin ilk dakikalarında hızla azaldığı gözlenmiştir. Hemiselüloz birimlerinden ksiloz, mannoz ve galaktoz miktarlarında ön hidroliz sürecinde belirgin bir düşüş tespit edilmiştir. Arabinoz içeriğinde küçük değişiklikler gerçekleşmiştir. Galaktoz ön hidrolizin on beşinci dakikasında, ramnoz ise ilk dakikalarında yongaları terk etmiştir. 170 °C’de Karakavak yongalarından hemiselülozların %78.43’ünü uzaklaştırması ve α-selüloz oranını %18.71 artırması nedeniyle sıcak su ile en uygun hidroliz süresinin otuz dakika olabileceği görülmüştür.

Water scarcity and poverty: The lasting impact of a maintenance campaign at South African schools across the affluence divide
Authors: Booysen MJ , Gerber Stefan
Published: September 2021

Water features prominently in discussions on sustainability. The recent Cape Town “Day Zero” drought heightened fears about global cities running dry as the climate changes. During that crisis a campaign was launched to save water at schools, consisting of a basic maintenance campaign and a behavioural campaign. The former was limited to easy fixes, and the latter comprised an information campaign and an information and competition campaign. The impacts of these were assessed immediately after the interventions. This paper revisits the maintenance results by assessing the difference in responses according to affluence levels of the schools, and by evaluating the impacts a year after the campaigns. We find that the poorer schools were not able to sustain the maintenance gains, especially at the primary schools.
Modular-Based Psychotherapy (MoBa) versus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for patients with comorbid depression and a history of childhood maltreatment: Study protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial
Authors: Elsaesser Moritz , Herpertz Sabine C. , Piosczyk Hannah , Jenkner Carolin , Hautzinger Martin , Schramm Elisabeth
Published: September 2021

Introduction: In depression treatment, most patients do not reach response or remission with current psychotherapeutic approaches. Major reasons for individual non-response are interindividual heterogeneity of etiological mechanisms and pathological forms, and a high rate of comorbid disorders. Personalised treatments targeting comorbidities as well as underlying transdiagnostic mechanisms and factors like early childhood maltreatment may lead to better outcomes. A Modular-Based Psychotherapy (MoBa) approach provides a treatment model of independent and flexible therapy elements within a systematic treatment algorithm to combine and integrate existing evidence-based approaches. By optimally tailoring module selection and application to the specific needs of each patient, MoBa has great potential to improve the currently unsatisfying results of psychotherapy as a bridge between disorder-specific and personalised approaches.Methods and analysis: In a randomized controlled feasibility trial (RCT), N=70 outpatients with episodic or persistent major depression, comorbidity and childhood maltreatment are treated in 20 individual sessions with MoBa or standard Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression. The three modules of MoBa focus on deficits associated with early childhood maltreatment: the systems of negative valence, social processes, and arousal. According to a specific questionnaire-based treatment algorithm, elements from Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), Mentalization-Based Psychotherapy (MBT) and/or Mindfulness (MBCT) are integrated for a personalised modular procedure.As a proof of concept, this trial will provide evidence for the feasibility and efficacy (post-treatment and six month follow-up) of a modular add-on approach for patients with depression, comorbidities and a history of childhood maltreatment. Crucial feasibility aspects include targeted psychopathological mechanisms, selection (treatment algorithm), sequence and application of modules, as well as training and supervision of the study therapists. Ethics and dissemination: This study obtained approval from independent Ethics Committees. All findings will be disseminated broadly via peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals and contributions to national and international conferences.Trial registration: German Clinical Trials Register (www.drks.de): DRKS00022093.
Unmasking the Effects of Orthography, Semantics, and Phonology on 2AFC Visual Word Perceptual Identification
Authors: Kress Shaylyn , Neudorf Josh , Ekstrand Chelsea , Borowsky Ron
Published: September 2021

In the two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) task, the target stimulus is presented very briefly, and the participants must choose between two options as to which was the presented target. Some past research (Grossi et al., 2009; Haro et al., 2019) has assumed that the 2AFC word identification task isolates orthographic effects, despite orthographic, semantic, and phonological differences between the alternative options. If so, performance should not differ between word target/nonword foil pairs and British/American word pairs, the latter of which only differ orthographically. In Experiment 1, accuracy and sensitivity were higher during word/nonword trials than British/American trials when participants stated their response was not a guess, demonstrating that phonological/semantic processing contributes to 2AFC performance. In Experiment 2, target visibility was manipulated by increasing the contrast between target and mask for half the trials. Experiment 2 showed that target visibility did not interact with pair type on reaction time, which suggests phonological/semantic processing did not result in feedback to orthographic encoding in this task. This study demonstrates the influence of phonological/semantic processing on word perceptual identification, and shows that 2AFC word identification does not isolate orthographic effects when word/nonword pairs are used, but using British/American word pairs provides a method for doing so. Implications for models and future research are discussed.
Rising Top-Income Persistence in Australia: Evidence from Income Tax Data
Authors: Herault Nicolas , Hyslop Dean , Jenkins Stephen P. , Wilkins Roger
Published: September 2021

We use a new Australian longitudinal income tax dataset, Alife, covering 1991–2017, to examine levels and trends in the persistence in top-income group membership, focussing on the top 1%. We summarize persistence in multiple ways, documenting levels and trends in rates of remaining in top-income groups; re-entry to the top; the income changes associated with top-income transitions; and we also compare top-income persistence rates for annual and ‘permanent’ incomes. Regardless of the perspective taken, top-income persistence increased markedly over the period, with most of the increase occurring in the mid-2000s and early 2010s. In the mid- to late-2010s, Australian top-income persistence rates appear to have been near the top of the range of tax-data estimates for other countries. Using univariate breakdowns and multivariate regression, we show that the rise in top-income persistence in Australia was experienced by many population subgroups.

Authors: Lamichhane Rama Kumari , Dhakal Bijaya , Thapa Asha , Sapkota Kalyan
Published: September 2021

Introduction: COVID-19 poses a great challenge to the global health system. The nurses worked in COVID ward and fever clinic act as gatekeepers to the health care system in the public health response to COVID-19 epidemic. The consequences of lockdown, quarantine of COVID-19 pandemic has not only caused physical sufferings but also affected the mental health of the nurses around the globe. This study aimed to assess psychological impact and associated factors of COVID 19 pandemic among nurses working in different level of hospital at Bharatpur Municipality Chitwan, Nepal.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 150 nurses working in different hospitals of Bharatpur Municipality. Non-probability Purposive Sampling Technique was used and Data was collected via online survey using Google Form questionnaire. COVID-19 peritraumatic distress index (CPDI) questionnaire was used to find out psychological impact. Statistical analysis of data was done using SPSS version 20.

Results: Total of 150 nurses were involved in the study where 99.3% were female, 45.3% in the age group of 26-35 years, mean age 27.22±6.612 years, 87.2% bachelor in nursing. Mild to moderate peritraumatic distress was found in 47.33% and 16% of respondents found to have severe distress level. Chi-square test showed that respondents level of knowledge (p=0.003) and presence of chronic disease (p=0.007) was statistically significant with level of distress.

Conclusions: Majority of the nurses had some form of psychological distress. Study highlights the need for counseling for distress and mental health during COVID-19 pandemic. A focus on improving mental wellbeing of nurses should be immediately initiated.

Authors: Bharti Shiv Vansh , Sharma Anup
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Wound closure after midline laparotomy is an essential part of surgery to produce a healthy and a strong scar. There is an alternative interrupted method of closure as compared to conventional continuous method of closure. Many comparative studies have shown different outcomes. So, we wanted to evaluate the outcome of different techniques in our setting.
Aims: To compare the outcome of Interrupted abdominal closure and continuous abdominal closure in midline laparotomy wound.
Methods: This was a prospective comparative study conducted in the Department of Surgery of Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur, Banke, Nepal for a duration of 1 year. A total of 60 patients were selected randomly to receive either continuous or interrupted abdominal closure in midline laparotomy wound. Wound was evaluated in terms of wound discharge, infection and wound dehiscence.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.38 years. Most commonly, the patients presented with duodenal ulcer perforation with peritonitis. The average time taken for abdomen closure in group A (16.77 minutes) was significantly less as compared to group B (27.77 minutes). The average cost of sutures for group B (Rs 1322.97) was higher than that of sutures for group A (Rs 1118) with p value of <0.01. Wound infection and incidence of burst abdomen were similar in both groups after one month, suture sinus was seen in three patients of group A and four patients of group B (p = 1.0). Incisional hernia was seen in one patient of group A and in none of the patients of group B at three month’s follow-up (p = 1.0).
Conclusion: Continuous technique of midline laparotomy wound closure is better in terms of time required for wound closure and costing of suture materials, while showing no difference in terms of wound infection, burst abdomen and late wound complications

Esej napisany z inspiracji książką Niny Witoszek Korzenie antyautorytaryzmu
Authors: Czykwin Elżbieta
Published: September 2021

A remarkable book by Nina Witoszek, an outstanding compatriot of ours, originally published in the USA, where it has aroused well-deserved interest among both professional and avid readers, forms the background for this essay. Populist nationalist tendencies growing within existing, but also well-established democracies, having authoritarian thinking at their core, constitute a threat not only to individual freedom but also to the effective functioning of societies. The strengthening of democracies, i.e. systems that are fundamentally democratic but significantly imbued with authoritarian elements, is a serious challenge for contemporary states (Hungary, Belarus, Poland, the USA under Donald Trump, Taiwan, Turkey, Liberia, Hong Kong and others). Overcoming these authoritarian tendencies is seen in Witoszek’s book as an initiative taken by small social groups releasing social energy to build grassroots democracy known from history as constructive and effective initiatives, e.g. KOR and later “Solidarity” in Poland. The book is an apotheosis of the friendship of groups of so-called ‘humanist renegades’ who evoke the impulse of change and their energy and way of thinking are instilled in the broad masses of society thus delivering the anti-authoritarian message of sustainable modernity.

Cet article se concentre sur des étudiants internationaux qui désirent obtenir un diplôme universitaire de deuxième et troisième cycles pour enseigner l’anglais et sur les pédagogies qu’ils produisent dans les contextes relationnels dans lesquels ils évoluent. L’article adopte une perspective néo-matérialiste et est ainsi animé par des intensités et des agencements humains, non-humains et matériels-discursifs qui explorent d’autres façons de comprendre les devenirs d’une cohorte d’étudiants de deuxième et troisième cycles au sein d’une université canadienne, enseignants potentiels d’anglais. Les données-vignettes et deux étudiants inscrits dans le programme de deuxième et troisième cycles expriment l’intrication de leurs pratiques pédagogiques et de leurs relations alors que l’agentivité est exécutée comme des pédagogies dans l’action. Ce concept est envisagé comme une extension du processus de réflexion dans l’action élaboré par Manning et Massumi et comme l’expression de la pédagogie et de l’agentivité qui émerge des mouvements corporels dans l’espace et le temps ainsi que des événements et des mouvements diffractés. Envisager la pédagogie comme des pédagogies dans l’action, en tant que concept et méthode, ouvrirait la porte aux interférences diffractives et permettrait de déterritorialiser notre compréhension des structures discursives du domaine de TESOL.

Authors: Amiri Fateme Shamekhi
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease that causes multiorgan failure and a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to investigate the association between COVID-19 infection and kidney dysfunction.Methods. In this meta-analysis study, 68 patients with kidney dysfunction and COVID-19 infection were analysed. Clinical features, laboratory data at initial presentation, management and, outcomes were collected. Risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), acute kidney disease (AKD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression to kidney replacement therapy and graft loss were primary outcomes in this study. Results. The average age of patients at the time of diagnosis in COVID-19 nephropathy was 52.04 ± 14.42 years. There were ICU admission in 10/68 (14.7%) patients with COVID-19 nephropathy. There were a need for mechanical ventilation in 13/68 (19.1%) patients; 15/68 (22%) patients died during hospital course or post-discharge. There were AKI in 4/68 (5.8%) patients with COVID-19 nephropathy and AKD found in 14/68 (20.5%) patients with COVID-19 nephropathy during the follow-up. The median and interquartile range of SCr during the follow-up period was assessed at 1.74 mg/dl and 1.18 (Q3-Q1=2.73-1.55), respectively. The effect size of COVID-19 on AKI and AKD was assessed 0 and 0.003 using Cohen᾽s-d test. Eventually, 10 of 68 (14.7%) patients with COVID-19 nephropathy stayed on hemodialysis during the follow-up period and one of them remained on RRT but its type was not characterized. There were a total of 36/68 (52.9%) kidney transplant recipients and 10/36 (27.7%) of them developed AKI due to acute rejection. The effect size of elevated IL-6 on decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in COVID-19 nephropathy was assessed 0.656 (medium effect size). Conclusion. The COVID-19 had a trivial (small) effect on eGFR declining. Future clinical research is required for investigating novel unknown findings in COVID-19 nephropathy.
Fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease
Authors: Dudar S. L.
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Despite rapid progress in improving dialysis technology in recent years, the mortality of patients treated with renal replacement therapy remains quite high. Mineral and bone disease is omnipresent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and leads to a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including bone pain and fractures. Mineral bone disorders (MBD), as well as changes in bone structure, develop at the beginning of CKD. Osteoporosis can progress according to declining of the glomerular filtration rate and contribute to the deterioration of bone strength resulted in a high risk of fracture. In CKD patients, the most common are hip fractures, femur, humerus, compression fractures of the vertebrae and pelvic fractures. CKD-MBD is characterized by disorders of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and/or vitamin D metabolism, as well as, bone regeneration, mineralization, volume, linear growth and strength violation, calcification of blood vessels, or other soft tissues. Medications that correct systemic mineral metabolism can improve bone histology in patients with CKD. However, clinical and biochemical targets used in clinical practice remain controversial, resulting in an undermanagement of bone fragility.  The clarifying of the appropriateness of medicines that act directly on the bone or affect the mineral and hormonal metabolism could be a promising strategy to prevent pathological fractures due to fragility among CKD patients.

The article reflects the results of experimental testing of the monitoring program, focused on studying the specifics of the manifestation of modern fathers' readiness to effectively implement their most important social role – «parent». Based on the results of research by scientists in the field of parenting (research by V.V. Abramenkova, A.I. Antonov, V.V. Boyko, V.I.Brutman, A.I. Zakharova, S.Yu. Meshcheryakova, R.V. Ovcharova, V.A.Petrovsky, N.Yu. Sinyagina, G.G. Filippova, A.G. Kharcheva; D. Bassin, E. Galinsky, M. Honey, M. Kaplan, etc.) and an experimental monitoring program was implemented, aimed at a detailed study of the readiness of the fathers of our pupils for responsible fatherhood. Having summarized the data obtained by us as a result of the monitoring program, we conclude that only a quarter of dads are responsible for the implementation of the role of «parent». Most fathers need help for raising their children. We define the development and subsequent implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support for dads in the upbringing of their children in the practice of preschool educational institutions as the target guidelines for our future activities.

Nowadays, the products of domestic enterprises of the pulp and paper industry are 80% made from secondary raw materials – recycling paper, which negatively affects its quality, narrows the range and limits the scope of use. This state of the industry connected with the lack of domestic production of cellulose fibrous products. The raw material problem of the pulp and paper industry of Ukraine can be solved by using annual plants and wastes of crop processing for the production of fibrous materials for various purposes. Rapeseed stalks can be considered as a promising raw material to meet the needs of the pulp and paper industry. The aim of the work is to study the physical and mechanical properties of writing paper and cardboard for flat layers of corrugated cardboard, which contain cellulose fibers of rapeseed stalks. This paper presents the results of research of sizes of elementary cellulose fibers from rapeseed stalks. Studies of the fractional composition showed that 70% of cellulose fibers from rapeseed have a length in the range of 0.02 to 0.81 mm and only 30% have a length exceeding 1 mm. To study the effect of cellulose content from rapeseed stalks in the composition of writing paper, paper samples of 80 g/m2 were prepared at different ratios of cellulose from non-wood raw materials to coniferous cellulose. Studies have shown that the surface of paper made of non-wood pulp has a high smoothness and uniform lumen and is more elastic compared to paper made of bleached coniferous sulfate pulp. According to the results of physical and mechanical tests, it can be concluded that the increase in the content of non-wood pulp from rapeseed stalks in the composition of writing paper leads to a decrease in all physical and mechanical properties of the paper. To study the effect of non-wood pulp from rapeseed stalks in a cardboard composition for flat layers of corrugated cardboard, cardboard samples of 175 g/m2 were made. Recycling paper of MS-6B was used as a bottom layer, and non-wood pulp as a surface layer of cardboard. The ratio of recycling paper to non-wood pulp in laboratory samples of cardboard was 80:20 mass %. According to the results, it can be concluded that the use for the surface layer of non-wood pulp from rapeseed stalks allows to obtain cardboard with strength values that fully meet the requirements for cardboard of K-1 type. In general, it was shown that non-wood rapeseed pulp can be used to replace more expensive sulfate bleached coniferous pulp in the production of writing paper and cardboard for flat layers of corrugated cardboard as a surface layer.

EHR play an important role in the health care system, so the issue of data efficiency is key in the development of the EHR system. One of the key benefits of EHR is an access to medical information anywhere, anytime. While testing this advantage, it was found that it is performed only privately and does not take into account the dynamics of patients. Therefore, a model for calculating the efficiency of EHR on the basis of full coverage was developed. The study presents a model of the “Element” system, which provides for maximization of the coverage ratio of EHR to provide providers with access to medical records in the form required. The Element system is based on medical information packaging methods such as the dictionary method, the direct matching method and the combined method, and also allows healthcare professionals to be available to users’ medical information in this regard when EHR with customer data arises from EHR medical fund. In this case, if the presented system can be reduced both the time of work with medical documents and the time required for the appointment of drugs, which, accordingly, reduces the time to receive medical care. A set-theoretical model of the information system for improving the quality of medical services is proposed. The study of this model showed the need to measure the effectiveness of medical systems, taking into account their coverage. Medstar, Medkit and Helsi systems, which are part of the eHealth system, were used for the analysis. During the study, such concepts as full and partial coverage of systems were identified, the disadvantages of partial coverage were indicated. It has been found that for maximum efficiency it is necessary to minimize the time required to access medical information, which is achieved through full coverage.

The tanning process is important in stabilizing the collagen structure of the derma. Сhrome tanning is the traditional option. The basic chromium sulfate is used in the production of 80% of leather in use. A peculiarity of chromium tanning turns out to be an inefficient use of chromium compounds, since almost 40% of tannins remain in wastewater. Considering the disadvantages of using chromium compounds, scientific research on the replacement and use of rather eco-friendlier substances has been conducted for a long time. One of the directions of ecologization of leather manufacturing is the use of modified montmorillonite dispersions in various technological processes such as tanning, filling, dyeing, fat-liquoring, etc. Researches have been aimed at identifying the feasibility of making leather for the uppers of children’s shoes from different types of leather raw materials using modified dispersions of montmorillonite at the stage of tanning. According to the technology of making leather, cattle (medium heifer), goat and sheep skins were used for the upper of the shoes. The analysis of leather quality indicators from different types of raw materials obtained with the use of chromefree tanning. It is proved that hides from raw materials of goats and sheepskins in comparison with cattle are characterized by increased yield area by 3.5-7.2 %, thickness by 0.8-2.6 %, volume yield by 4.5-6.1 % and uniformity of quality indicators in different topographic areas. The level of indicators of physical and mechanical, hygienic properties and chemical composition of leather of different types of raw materials is almost identical within the requirements of regulatory documents. It is advisable to use for children’s shoes leather from raw goat and sheepskin given the peculiarities of the manufacture of children’s shoes, dimensional characteristics of parts, requirements for dimensional stability and shape conservation.
