Most urinary tract infections are due to Candida species, C. albicans being most prevalent. Laboratory research study was used to examine the prevalence of candidiasis amongst undergraduate students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli. A total of 100 students were investigated. Clean catch midstream urine samples were used for the analysis. Standard microbiological procedures were utilized. A structured questionnaire was issued to each student to obtain their socio-demographic data.Our study found Candida albicans in 14(14%) of the urine samples.Significant candidiasis was strongly associated with being female as higher percentage of the isolates were from female students. Of the 14(14.0%) positive urine samples, 4(28.6%) were from symptomatic students, whereas 10(71.4%) were asymptomatic.

Authors: Chinedu Obiorah Christopher , Nwafor Charles Chukwuemeka
Published: March 2020

Background: Histological diagnoses of endoscopic biopsies are keys to improved outcomes of patient management; hence endoscopy and histological evaluation of the associated specimens are agelong practices globally, but this practice is just evolving in Port Harcourt.
Aim: To characterize the clinico-pathologic features of gastric endoscopic biopsies seen in Port Harcourt.
Methodology: This is a retrospective study of gastric endoscopic biopsies seen in a private pathology referral practice in Port Harcourt between 1st January 2014 and 31st December 2018. The relevant clinical and demographic information were obtained from patients’ laboratory request forms. The gastric biopsies were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, processed, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for general morphology. Modified Giemsa stain was used for Helicobacter pylori identification. The slides were reported using the updated Sydney classification.
Exploring the Relationship between Advertisement of Alcohol on Consumption and the Perceived Health Implications among Youth in the Ashaiman Municipality, Ghana
Authors: Manortey Stephen , Kugbega Seyram
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Alcohol consumption is a key obstacle to sustainable human development. It is noted worldwide that alcohol consumption and use contribute to 3.3 million deaths every year. The United Nations classified individuals between the ages of 15 to 25 years as youths. The use of alcohol at this critical stage of life can lead to serious health outcomes, such as causing harm to vital body organs like the liver. Negative social and behavioral consequences such as unsafe sexual behavior are also consequences associated with alcohol use, and this has become a major public health issue globally. Various advertisements both in print and electronic media are contributing factors that encourage alcohol use among the youth. This study, therefore, aimed at determining the prevalence of alcohol use and also to identify the influence of exposure to advertisements of alcoholic beverages on consumption, perceptions, and knowledge on its health implications.
Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study design was used in this study. A total of 297 youths were sampled in four (4) suburbs within the Ashaiman Municipality in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana to participate in the study using a well-structured questionnaire.

Published: March 2020

This study investigates different chassis designs through a simulation-based design approach. The inherent aluminum ductility and softness could make chassis a daunting modification if not analyzed properly. Structural finite element analysis is comprehensively performed on a vehicle chassis for static loading cases up to 1G in equivalent acceleration. The analysis of the vehicle chassis of both A36 steel and 6061 aluminum for the scenarios of bump, front impact, side impact and a rollover. The von Mises stresses and displacement results showed that the steel chassis possessed higher safety factor in all load cases. The safety factors for an aluminum clone of the steel chassis in some load cases are below 1.0, hence indicating that the failure criterion has been triggered and failure would occur under the 1G load. The original aluminum chassis deformation is far more severe than steel reaching as high as 9.88 mm for the bump loading. A modified aluminum chassis is proposed, by optimizing the wall thickness of the rectangular bars. The slight increase in weight resulted in overcoming the deficiency of aluminum in load carrying capacity. An evaluation matrix procedure is implemented to analyze the trade offs between cost, weight and safety factor for the three chassis materials.
Efficient Visualization Method of Buckling Region in Dynamic Transient Analysis of Cable Network Structures
Authors: Arita Shoko , Miyazaki Yasuyuki
Published: March 2020

Deployable structure system using flexible members is necessary to construct a large
structure in the space. The flexible members easily buckle as seen in wrinkles and slack.
Therefore, it is available at designing of spacecraft to grasp when, where and how large the buckling occurs in the entire structure during the deployment. When dynamic analysis of large flexible structures which can ignore bending is conducted, the truss element and the membrane element, which do not consider the bending of an element, are often used from the viewpoint of calculation cost. Therefore, this paper proposes a comprehensive and efficient visualization method of buckling occurrence region and buckling magnitude during dynamic response analysis using the truss element to progress convenience in design. The method proposed in this paper is based on two previous studies. The proposed method is verified by a simple truss model, and an application example is shown.
The Macroeconomic Models of the Austrian School: A History and Comparative Analysis
Authors: Fillieule Renaud
Published: March 2020

This paper offers a synthetic and comparative assessment of the most basic Austrian macroeconomic models, i.e. the models that analyze the static forces determining the equilibrium interest rate and structure of production (monetary disequilibria and business cycles are not part of this investigation). The three models presented here are those of Böhm-Bawerk ([1889] 1959), Hayek (1936, 1941), and Garrison (2001). This review shows that these models are largely inconsistent with each other, but also that at a more general level they share several important charac-teristics. Finally, a tentative explanation is offered as to why there is no cumulative tradition in the Austrian School in this kind of basic macroeconomic theorizing.
The Wealth Effect and the Law of Demand: A Comment on Karl-Friedrich Israel
Authors: Salerno Joseph
Published: March 2020

Karl-Friedrich Israel (2018) sees “obvious tension” in a book chapter (Salerno 2018) in which I argue that the Hicksian income effect plays no role in the causal-realist approach to the demand curve. Israel’s reconstructed “wealth effect” is an effort to solve this perceived problem. This comment addresses the expositional gap in my analysis, and resolves the perceived tension. I then outline the problems with Israel’s proposed solution, which involves a wholesale reconstruction of demand theory that, in the end, implies a denial of the law of demand.

Mortality in Town and Countryside in Early Modern England
Authors: Connor Dilece , Hinde Andrew
Published: March 2020

In this paper we test two hypotheses about mortality in early modern England: (1) that market towns had more frequent and more severe mortality crises than rural parishes; and (2) that the underlying level of mortality in market towns was higher than that in rural parishes. The data consist of annual burial totals for ten pairs of parishes, each consisting of one market town and a nearby rural parish, drawn from counties in all parts of England between the sixteenth and the early nineteenth centuries. Mortality crises are identified and their severity measured using a Poisson model, which has the advantage that it can be applied both to small and large parishes without the need for ad hoc adjustments or rules. The results show clearly that mortality crises were more frequent and severe in market towns than in rural parishes, a pattern which would be predicted by epidemiological theory. The evidence that underlying mortality in market towns was higher than that in rural parishes is not as clear cut, though there is a tendency for market towns to record higher levels.

Data obtained by teacher observation, student observation, end of the cycle test. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant increase, both in the activities of teachers and students in appreciating fiction using the STAD type cooperative learning model. This increase can be seen in each cycle. Cycle one qualification is Poor (K), Cycle two is Good qualification (B), Cycle three is Very Good (SB). The conclusion of this research is to use the STAD model cooperative approach in learning to appreciate fiction in determining the theme of the story, the character of the story, the place of the story, the storyline and the mandate of the story in SD 1 Namlea students has increased. Research suggestions are expected to all governments involved in education so that learning can improve in schools, the right method is used.
Diatonic Illusions and Chromatic Waterwheels: Edward Elgar's Concept of Tonality
Authors: Chandler Oliver
Published: March 2020

In a 1915 article for the Westminster Gazette, Edward Elgar described chromatic major-third cycles as waterwheels, which are adjuncts to a house. If this metaphor is read tonally, then the ‘house’ in question might be thought of as a tonic. Chromaticism – the ‘waterwheel’ – serves to power this tonic, in much the same way that actual waterwheels power mechanical processes in the buildings to which they are affixed. Contrary to modern neo-Riemannian theories, then, which stress the origin of chromatic progressions in ‘non-tonal’ syntaxes, I argue that Elgar experienced tertiary chromaticism as being tonally grounded.

The ‘Romance’ from Elgar’s Violin Sonata, Op. 82, might be taken as a practical elucidation of this waterwheel theory if the same qualities ascribed by Elgar to foreground chromatic-third cycles are projected onto background structures too (i.e. progressions which present surface harmonic content in massive rhythmic augmentation). However, the Romance’s structural chromaticism only becomes apparent when it is demonstrated that the movement’s background is sometimes dissimulated by diatonic foreground illusions. The ‘house’ Elgar’s ‘waterwheel’ powers, then, cannot be assumed to be a particular diatonic collection. In this case, it is a single chord, which can be set off as a tonal centre in a number of ways, both diatonic and chromatic.
ENVIRONMENTAL TAXION TRENDS IN EUROPE
Authors: KOZIUK Viktor , SHYMANSKA Oksana , VOZNYI Kazymyr
Published: March 2020

Introduction. EU countries are showing an increasing trend towards the priority of the public good “clean ecology”. Environmental taxation not only exerts fiscal, but above all, corrective influence on the behavior of economic agents. Nonetheless, the fiscal design of environmental taxes and their composition as a source of budget revenue remains an issue that needs further study.

Purpose is to track current environmental tax trends in Europe, the evolution of environmental policy instruments in EU countries, to analyze their economic and social impact; to identify problems with the existing environmental taxation system in Ukraine.

Methods. In researching current environmental tax trends in Europe, identifying the stages of evolution of environmental policy instruments, analyzing their impact on the economy and social sphere, substantiating the problems of the existing system of environmental taxation in Ukraine, a number of scientific and special methods of research were used, in particular: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, generalization, statistical, graphic, tabular.

Results. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of different types of environmental taxes in the EU-28 countries for the period 1995–2017 (gross, energy, transport, pollution taxes, resources), a general tendency for their increase was revealed. In a comparative analysis of growth dynamics of total environmental taxes (TET), taxes on CO2 and greenhouse gases in the same sample of countries during the study period, a tendency was found to exceed the growth rate of TET over the reducing harmful emissions, which confirms the implementation of environmental taxes fiscal function, than corrective one. It has been stated that, despite the coherence and systematic nature of European countries' environmental tax policy, compensating for “environmental losses” indirectly increases its sensitivity to public sector efficiency and breaks the link between environmental taxation and the public good “clean ecology”. At the same time, problems were identified in the field of environmental taxation in Ukraine, in particular to the lack of an effective model of taxation, due to the inconsistency of the revenue mechanisms and proportions of the distribution of environmental taxes between budgets of different levels.

Conclusions. Further research suggests focusing on assessing efficiency level of the environmental tax system in European countries, which will create the basis for improving the latter in Ukraine.
INTRODUCTION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CUSTOMS PRACTICE OF UKRAINE
Authors: MYKULIAK Olesia , STEFANYSHYN Roksolana
Published: March 2020

Introduction. International integration into the world economic community involves the mainstreaming of information technologies in the customs business.

The study purpose is to analyze the regulatory and practical aspects of the functioning of electronic communications in the customs sphere of Ukraine, as well as assess the impact of information technologies on the development of Ukrainian customs practice.

Methods. A number of methods are applied in the research article, including methods of critical analysis, scientific abstraction and generalization, methods of comparison etc. These methods outline and address challenges regarding the mainstreaming of information technologies into the customs practice of Ukraine.

Results. The systematic introduction of electronic technologies in the Ukrainian customs system has some obstacles. The principle reason is lacking of a coherent position regarding the introduction for the electronic exchange of information with the state authorities issuing relevant permits. Moreover, the Ukrainian customs authorities do not have internal communication with the controlling authorities, that prevents the exchange of permit documents. Additionally, the issue of transition to electronic document circulation and the creation of a unified global system of “e-government” with a multitude of subsystems as well as lack of convenient access to tariff and statistical information. As the current legislation is focused on paper document circulation, there are problems with declaration and document circulation in an electronic way.

Conclusions. Promising successful directions of electronic communications development in the Ukrainian customs business and raising the level of customs relations are the following ones: transparency and openness of customs clearance procedures; saving of time for customs clearance and control; minimization of opportunities for corruption; lack of subjectivity and manual interference in customs control procedures; motivation to carry out customs control in a quality manner; improvement of the business climate; automation of customs procedures of registration, checking of customs declarations in the mode of 24/7/365; distribution of declarations between inspectors automatically taking into account their workload, specializations and qualifications; in the absence of risks, automatic completion of customs clearance.
EFFICIENCY OF STATE FINANCE MANAGEMENT: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO EVALUATION
Authors: KHOMUTENKO Alla , KHOMUTENKO Vira
Published: March 2020

Introduction. TThe degree of satisfaction of public interests depends on the efficiency of managing the processes of formation, distribution and use of state funds of funds. Awareness of this led to the development of scientific and methodological approaches to diagnosing the status of state finance management by both individual scientists and practitioners, as well as scientific-research institutions and organizations of national and international levels.

Purpose of the paper is to investigate world and domestic scientific and methodological approaches to determining the efficiency of state finance management, which will reveal the shortcomings and gaps that affect the accuracy of the results.

Results. The approaches used to assess the effectiveness of state administration and state service in general, as well as state finance management and the state budget, in particular, are characterized. The criteria used to calculate the International Civil Service Effectiveness Index are defined. The indicators of the countries of the world for this index for 2019 are analyzed. The criteria for assessing the state of public administration used by the World Bank are investigated. Such result indicators of Ukraine for 2007-2017 are analyzed. The methodology for assessing the effectiveness of public finance management (PEFA), which was tested by the World Bank with a group of partners USAID, EU, GIZ in Ukraine in 2011 and 2015, is demonstrated. The result indicators of individual criteria of management efficiency are given, such as: Open Budget Index, Global Competitiveness Index, Index of Globalization. A matrix of scientists' views on the composition of the criteria for the effectiveness of budget management is shown. The criteria and indicators of the financial management efficiency of the state sector of the economy, which in the studied methods are not included in the composition of state finances, are determined.

Conclusions. The analysis showed that the scientific and methodological approach used to evaluate the effectiveness of state finance management depends on the performers understanding of the content of efficiency, the set analytical goals, the level of analysis, sources of information, the chosen methodology. It is revealed that none of the analyzed approaches allows a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of state finance management.

Authors: KRUPKA Myhaylo , KULCHYTSKYJ Myroslav , KOVALENKO Oleksandra
Published: March 2020

Introduction. The necessity of increasing the role of finance in the economy is justified and emphasized that in the conditions of the commodity mode of production they cover all components of economy. There is no exception to the labor potential that characterizes potential employees, corporations and the economy as a whole. The situation on labor market of Ukraine has significant impact on the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the labor force, where real labor potential is increasingly lagging behind the nominal. Today, the need to find financial opportunities for realizing the existing labor potential in practice and its further growth is especially acute.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study theoretical aspects and assess the employment potential of Ukraine based on macroeconomic indicators that reflect its quantitative composition and qualitative status. Find out the influence of finance and financial policy on the development of labor potential, which manifests itself in the budget and investment activities of financial system, employment and income levels of the population. Development proposals for improvement the financial policy in terms of financial support for development of labor potential the Ukrainian economy.

Results. The conceptual approaches to the modern understanding of economic nature of labor potential are formed. An estimation of macroeconomic indicators, reflecting the state and dynamics of changes in the labor potential of Ukraine, was conducted. The factors of formation the financial policy are identified and structured, the combination of which in each case reflects the objects and subjects, the form and content of financial policy. The subjects of financial system, the form of ownership, the branches and the directions of financial activity were selected as indicators of the grouping factors formation the financial policy.

Conclusions. It is concluded that the financial policy and measures for its improvement are concentrated on the issues of financial resources management, which is not enough for sustainable development of economy if in the process of financial management does not always take into account the necessity to improve the efficiency of using all other types of economic resources. Among their list, a particularly important role belongs to labor resources and their potential, the growth of which will contribute to replacing the shortage of skilled labor. Proposals to improve the financial policy in the part of formation and development of labor potential of Ukraine are developed.
FINANCIAL POTENTIAL OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES: MODERN STATE AND PROSPECTS
Authors: BULAVINETS Victoria , KARPYSHYN Natalia
Published: March 2020

Introduction. In the context of budget decentralization in Ukraine, local governments are trying to make effective use of their powers and financial potential of the territorial community in order to increase local budget revenues and funding of services at the local level.

The purpose is to find out the essence of the financial potential of territorial communities and to analyze its current state in the context of existing and potential sources of financial resources that can be used by local governments for the realization of their goals and perspectives.

Methods. To achieve goal, a system of general scientific and special methods of research was used: analysis, synthesis and generalization - in the processing of literary, statistical, legislative and Internet sources on the topic of research; methods of systematizing and generalizing data, comparing and detailing were used when conducting analysis of local budget revenues; graphical, tabular and visualization methods were used for visual representation of the processed data; abstract-logical method was used for summarize the material presented and formulate conclusions.

Results. It has been found out that financial potential of a local community is a collection of available and potential sources of financial resources that local governments can attract through budgetary, investment, credit and grant mechanisms to ensure the effective functioning of the community. It is proved that budgetary funds is gradually increasing and prevail in the structure of financial resources of local self-government bodies in Ukraine. Despite the positive dynamics, local budget revenues have not yet become the basis of financial independence of territorial communities, and tax revenues make up 88% of the structure of local budget own revenues.

Possibilities of attracting private sector investment funds on the basis of public-private partnership as a potential source of financial resources of territorial communities are analyzed. It has been found out that the sources of growth of the financial potential of local self-government are credits and grants, which provide financing for infrastructure projects for the development of territorial communities. It is proved that the specific reserve of resource provision of territorial communities is human capital, with the participation of which the formation, distribution and use of financial resources of the community takes place. Emphasis is placed on revenues from the disposal of municipal waste as an inexhaustible financial resource of territorial communities. Proposals for increasing the efficiency of utilization of the financial potential of territorial communities at the present stage of development have been developed.

Conclusions. The subject of further scientific exploration is the search for and in-depth study of ways to effectively use the financial potential of local communities to improve the quality and accessibility of public services at the local level.

Authors: KULCHYTSKA Nadiia , DERMANSKA Liudmyla , YAKOVETS Tetiana
Published: March 2020

Introduction. Modern challenges of European integration processes require deep reforms towards solving problems of national and territorial economic growth. Decentralization is one aspect of raising the level of financial security and stability of territorial communities, taking into account their particular factors.

Purpose. The main objective of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of the process of decentralization with the use of factual data to confirm the relevance of the reform at the state level and assess its impact on the financial flows of the budgets of the united territorial communities in Ukraine and Ternopil region, in particular.

Results. The main tendencies of the process of decentralization of power are considered. The main indicators on the basis of the actual data, which determine the real state of formation of the united territorial communities, in particular, Ternopil region for 2015-2018 years, are investigated. The analysis of indicators of budget execution in the context of the united territorial communities of the Chortkiv district is carried out. The prospects of creating territorial communities with the consideration of positive and negative factors for disclosing strengths and weaknesses in order to identify opportunities and threats to their development and regional level with the help of PESTLE and SWOT analysis are determined. The ways of improving regional policy are proposed to ensure the completion of the decentralization process.

Conclusions. In general, the analysis allows us to state that the overall picture of the united territorial community activity in Ukraine is positive. However, in the process of creating a united territorial community, clear criteria (population size, maximum allowable expenditure volumes) need to be taken into account for their effective functioning in the long run. Based on the results of the study, a number of major problems were encountered before the newly formed united territorial communities, and ways to resolve them were suggested. Their further elaboration will form the main directions and prospects for future research. It is appropriate to conduct PESTLE and SWOT analysis prior to the creation of united territorial communities, which will make it possible to identify the negative sides and the opportunity to outline the positive prospects of community activity.

Authors: TKACHENKO Nataliia , SELIVERSTOVA Liudmyla
Published: March 2020

Introduction. TThe issue of combining the value of the insurance company with the development of the insurance business in terms of formation of an effective system for selling insurance products is investigated. Analyzing in this direction are due to the constant concentration of capital and companies in order to create more competitive insurance structures. Critical scientific analysis on the issues of the insurer value and the development of the insurance products sale system allowed to distinguish a number of key generalizations. The aim is to deepen the theoretical and methodological principles of identifying the value of an insurance company, to formulate the advantages and disadvantages of the basic methods of such assessment and to substantiate the sales system impact on the value of the insurance business. Results. It is substantiated that increasing the value of an insurance company is not only aimed at directly generating income from the sale of an insurer, but is an incentive for expanding its business, enhancing the image of an insurance company, attracting investments for development and improving the quality of services offered. The advantages and disadvantages of individual methods of calculating the insurer value are systematized, namely: determination of the net asset value of the company, comparative valuation, discounted cash flow method. The significance of using the method of residual income or residual net income is proved. It is claimed that the system of the insurance products sale is one of the main elements of formation of the insurance company value. The two-sided influence of the sales system on the value of the insurance business has been determined: as an effective mechanism for increasing sales volume and as the influence of individual components of the sales system on the value of the company. Conclusions. Due to the development of the insurance product sales system as a key element of the insurance company’s value formation, its further growth will be ensured.
THE ROLE OF STATE REGULATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECURITIES MARKET
Authors: LUTSKEVYCH Oleksandr
Published: March 2020

Introduction. The issue of state regulation of the securities market, which is a very necessary and important process for the world economy as a whole and for Ukraine in particular, is investigated.

Aim is to study approaches to regulating the domestic securities market and to find ways to improve it.

Results. It is substantiated that the mechanism of state regulation of the securities market largely determines the model of state regulation of the entire financial sector of the country. Currently, the problem of regulating the financial market is to establish a relationship between the banking sector and the entire financial market. In this regard, special terms – “mega-regulation” or “cross-sectoral supervision and regulation of the financial market” for integrated supervision of the financial sector have been introduced into the scientific circulation, which consists in the possibility of cross-sectoral, integrated supervision of all sectors of the financial market, developing and applying uniform standards and technologies for the regulation and supervision of different types of financial institutions.

It is determined that the domestic securities market is characterized by self-regulation, which, like state regulation, adheres to the goals and principles of activity that are to ensure the stability of the financial market, protect the interests of all financial market participants and reduce the risks of activity.

Conclusions. Having studied the basic approaches to the regulation of the securities markets in different countries, we consider it expedient to introduce into the domestic practice of the mega-regulator, since the transition to mega-regulation is the main modern tendency of reforming the financial regulation.

Published: March 2020

In this paper, we present results from a world-first radiant cooling pavilion, demonstrating a method of cooling people without cooling the air. Instead, surfaces are chilled and thermal radiation is used to keep people cool. A thermally-transparent membrane is used to prevent unwanted air cooling and condensation, a required precursor to deploying radiant cooling panels without humidity control in tropical environments. The results from this thermal comfort study demonstrate the ability to keep people comfortable with radiation in warm air, a paradigm shifting approach to thermal comfort that may help curb global cooling demand projections.

Published: March 2020

Genetic mutagenesis is a very efficient tool in studying genes function. Because of great benefits of legumes as human food and animal feed worldwide, we used a model plant Medicago truncatula for identification gene function related to nitrogen fixation process. Our mutant is a Medicago mutant line contains a tobacco Tnt1 retro-transposon mobile element with the two Long Terminal Repeats (LTR) inserted within the genome. Our mutant is predicted to contain a mutation in gene/s belonging to symbiotic interaction between legume and rhizobia. A novel technique was used based on using fluorescent oligonucleotide primers against oligonucleotide primers for Tnt1-LTRs of our mutant. This novel protocol was very successful in detection the polymorphism between our mutant line and the wild variant R108 using Biosystems 310 Genetic Analyzer. Electropherograms of the mutant line and wild type gave a total of 561 well- resolved AFLP peaks, 357of which were polymorphic peaks and 204 were monomorphic peaks. This novel technique enables the calculation percentage of polymorphism between the mutant line and the wild type. Additionally primers combinations amplified more bands from others to detect polymorphism between the plants
