CREATION OF WIND ENERGY FACILITIES AND DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE OF THE SERVICES LOGISTICS MARKET: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Rykovanova Iryna
Published: September 2021

We analyzed the current state and development prospects of wind power generation in the EU and Ukraine. We detected the trends on many wind power generation impactors in the EU and the Ukrainian's interest in building wind parks. Such trends led to the market development of specialized technical aids for assuring transportation of equipment production elements of wind power units to the installation place. The obtained results gave grounds for directions on developing the logistic services market in the segment of delivery of non-standard on all characteristics of the production equipment for wind installations: weight, geometrical sizes, transportation conditions. We proposed an approach to delegate the management functions and delivery of production equipment for wind-power units to a logistics operator (logistics provider) 4pl-level with a package of services "industry logistics" and "project logistics" as an integrator of material and of accompanying flows. This approach should be helpful to optimize financial costs, time and reduce the level of risks in the implementation of a project to create wind power generation facilities. The involvement of a representative, a logistics operator in project activities, opens up prospects for the life cycle of logistics service for the supply of goods of non-standard dimensions and diversification of the activities of logistics operators in the logistics services market, including through the determination of the KPI for further cooperation in wind farms servicing.

Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Demko Mariana , Kosar Nataliia , Kuzo Nataliia
Published: September 2021

In this article, we analyze the dynamics of active operations of several Ukrainian banks. During the last three years, there was a declining trend in the number of commercial banks in Ukraine and their issued loans' size. In order to increase the assets of banking institutions of Ukraine, increase their income, banks need to attract new customers, increase the volume of products purchases by existing customers through active communication activities of commercial banks of Ukraine. The intensification of Internet use by banks opens new opportunities for the sales systems improvement and promotion of their products. The analyzed the main characteristics of the commercial bank marketing policy of communications and the basic principles of integrated marketing banking institutions formation and the mechanism of their implementation, which begins with the collection and analysis of marketing information, based on the mission, corporate and marketing bank goals. We argue that an essential stage in forming integrated marketing communications of the bank is to determine its target audiences, which are much more comprehensive than the bank's target market, a rational combination of individual components of the bank's communication complex. Integrated marketing communications of a commercial bank should aim at forming its image and reputation in the market, taking into account the existing competitive advantages of the bank. We determined that in the conditions of Internet spread, an essential component of the integrated marketing communications of a banking institution is online communications. We formulated the main goals and means of marketing communications realization of the bank on the Internet and developed proposals to improve the efficiency of the bank in social networks

We have considered the features of professional training of specialists in the hotel and restaurant business and tourism. In the analysis of the curriculum, we appear to find a place in the training of future specialists in hotel and restaurant business and tourism in the study of humanities, namely: "Ukrainian language for professional purposes", "World culture and art", "Foreign language for professional orientation", "Fundamentals of professional ethics and culture of communication", and other. During the course, participants of the educational process must make efforts to form a communicative culture, critical thinking and aesthetics of speech. Future masters of hotel and restaurant business and tourism must be at a high level of management of communicative culture and content to think critically. The humanities cycle subjects basing on the text, with the help of which educational activities are carried out, training of future specialists of hotel and restaurant enterprises and tourism takes part in professional texts that help students accumulate professional terminology and form professional skills. We concluded that introducing elements of the dual system of education is a positive trend in the training of hotel and restaurant professionals and tourism. Students can assimilate and improve communication culture, see bottlenecks and make an effort to correct and improve themselves.
CONTRACTUAL DELEGATION OF SOVEREIGNTY IN SUPRANATIONAL ENTITIES
Authors:   V.N. Karazin Kharkov National University, Zavalna Zhanna , Starynskyi Mykola
Published: September 2021

The article analyses the agreement basis for state sovereignty as established and implemented in the European Union. The research aims to study the agreement-based regulation used by the EU Member States to create a stable position of Ukraine on its way to becoming a member of the European Union. The research allowed finding out that the member states do not transfer their powers in their economic and social fields but only delegate them. The analysis of the treaties concerning the establishment and functioning of the European Union proves the existence of specific organisational and legal intervention measures that the countries agree to when joining the treaty union. The agreement-based rearrangement of powers between the EU and its member states lets the latter obtain their special legal personalities regarding the conclusion of agreements among themselves and at the same time preserve complete economic sovereignty in their relations with the countries that are not member states of the EU. When joining the European Union, its member states voluntarily and on a negotiable basis agree to certain restrictions and prohibitions binding in their economy. Furthermore, the EC Treaty provides for the improved protection of interests for the economic community as compared with the protection of national interests of the member states though it is not excluded that the latter can be taken into consideration when adopting the national laws of a member state to the EU legislation.
Effect of Consumers’ Immunity Consciousness on Monthly Consumption of Immunity Booster Products
Authors: Dr. Poonam Arora, Swati Mehta and Dr. Nidhi Arora
Published: September 2021

Recent times have witnessed a considerable inclination of consumers towards the ongoing trend pointing to buy immunity
products. This trend is seen to gear up during last few years. Availability of a wide range of immunity booster products has given
a lot of choices to the customers to purchase. One of the important reasons that people have started exploring health products is
because of their belief that healthy eating habits will boost their immunity, can provide health benefits and can also protect them
from any virus infections. An in-depth analysis has been done over a sample of 208 respondents from various age groups under
working and non-working categories to determine their awareness and inclination to buy immunity-based products. Statistical
analysis carried out over the collected data shows that working people are more immunity conscious than the non-working people
because they consume more immunity products monthly than non-working people. The amount spent by working people
towards the purchase of immunity products is more than non-working people which proves their health consciousness.

Authors: Aditya A Chawardol and Dr Bhushan H Shinde
Published: September 2021

In past decades, shear walls and x bracing are one of the most appropriate and important structural component in multi-storied
building. Therefore, it is very interesting to study the structural response and their systems in multi-storied structure during
lateral load i.e earthquake loading. Shear walls and belt truss contribute the stiffness and strength during earthquakes which are
often neglected during design of structure and construction. The scope of present paper is to study the effect of seismic loading on
placement of belts truss in building at different alternative location. This study shows the effect of belts truss and bracing belts
truss which significantly affect the vulnerability of structures. In order to test this hypothesis, RCC building was considered with
and without belts truss at different location. The aim of the paper is to detail and conceptualize the varied configurations of belt
truss structures system and to integrate current structures into longer structures by use of belt truss system at different location.
Additionally, various advantage and disadvantage associated with outriggers and belt truss system also are discussed in this
paper. A close of literature review within the field of Outrigger system is applied and therefore the summary on belts truss and
gaps encountered within the study are listed during this paper. This paper introduces belt truss at different location. In which,
using the belt truss structural within the RCC building so as to extend the performance of the building under the earthquake load
and wind loads is studied. Concept of belt truss as Virtual outrigger is reviewed within the paper.

Authors: D J Krishna Kishore, M. R. Mohamed, K. Sudhakar and K. Peddakapu
Published: September 2021

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is skyrocketing energy due to its advancement in technology. Nevertheless, PV energy face some
difficulties under partial shading conditions (PSC) easily fall into local maxima instead of maximum peak power (MPP),
oscillations around MPP when we used conventional algorithms. To avoid this problem a hybrid model of particle swarm
optimization and improved grey wolf optimization (PSO – I GWO) based metaheuristic algorithm is used in this paper. It is
developed and implemented in Matlab/ Simulink environment for different irradiation conditions. Moreover, the proposed
algorithm is compared with another existing algorithm of cuckoo search optimization (CSO). Eventually, the hybrid model is
superior to CSO in terms of convergence time, extracted power, and efficiency.

ANALIZA ORVELOVIH POGLEDA NA IDEJE SOCIJALIZMA U ŽIVOTINjSKOJ FARMI I 1984.
Authors: Antonijevic Pavle
Published: September 2021

This paper examines the last two literary works of George Orwell with the aim to analyze his political beliefs. Although these works have remained characterized primarily as critiques of totalitarianism and the Stalinist version of socialism, the pur- pose of this study is to show Orwell’s attitude towards the ideas of socialism in theory with parallel comparison of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Furthermore, in order to consider this problem more comprehensively, it was necessary to research the author’s attitude towards capitalism and liberalism. The article is divided into two main sections. The first section gives a brief overview of Orwell’s political evolution from the second to the fourth decades of 20th century. The second section examines the content of the books which are the subject of research. The article proves that Orwell remained committed to the ideas of democratic socialism in both of his liter- ary works. Portrayal of Orwell as an anti-socialist is unjustified and was formed due to the Cold War context in the West. Additionally, the article concludes that Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984 contain a critique of capitalism and Western imperialism, which is more pronounced in Animal Farm as compared to 1984.
PROBLEMATIKA MAJČINSTVA U ROMANU „VOLjENA“ TONI MORISON
Authors:   Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade, Serbia, Abula Jelena
Published: September 2021

This paper will examine the concept of motherhood in the light of black feminism in Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved. Morrison, one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century, is trying to present the development of the African- American community and the institution of motherhood in a society characterized by meaningless divisions between race, class and gender. Slavery problematizes the concept of motherhood which represents a connection of conflicting views shaped by different attitudes towards race, gender and class. Therefore, Morrison uses the suppressed voices of African-American mothers to address the problematic concept of motherhood in slavery. The paper explores the complexity of slavery and its influence on motherhood, the powerful ideology through which the Afro-American tradition is transferred, and it also outlines motherhood as a dominant motif that connects the female characters in Beloved.
OBRASCI GRAĐENjA KNjIŽEVNIH (ANTI)JUNAKA U PROZI VILIJAMA TREVORA NA PRIMERU ROMANA „FELISIJINO PUTOVANjE“
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Serbia, Jagrovic Aleksandar
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the patterns of building literary (anti)heroes in the prose of William Trevor based on the novel Felicia’s Journey (1994). As a standard-bearer of new realism in the contemporary Irish and British literature, William Trevor writes novels, novellas, and short stories with humanised characters, which he builds using the mimetic literary method, shapes by psychological descrip- tion, and evaluates according to the criteria of believability. As a Protestant in the Catholic Ireland, an Irishman in England and a countryman in London, the author forges his characters on the front line of the archetypal battle between the good and the evil in man and nature, Ireland and England, the country and the city, the old- world religiousness and the new-world loss of faith. The startling plight of all Trevor’s antiheroes (marginalised, atomised and alienated) initiates their introspective evalu- ation until the cathartic self-awareness is achieved through personal epiphany. The most striking character transformations occur on life’s by-paths which irreversibly lead from virtue to sin, from innocence to experience, from the collective and general to the individual and personal. However, the characters’ epiphanic self-awareness is always and exclusively paid by happiness, the loss of which poses the underlying atmosphere, tone, colour, and leitmotif of each and every Trevor’s literary work.

Authors:   Faculty of Philology and Arts, University of Kragujevac, Serbia, Selakovic Irena
Published: September 2021

The paper deals with the presentation of children’s lives and the consequences of the Spanish Civil War in the film achievements of Spanish cinema. The corpus material consists of the films The Language of Butterflies (La lengua de las mariposas) and Black Bread (Pan negro) in which children interpret the roles of the protagonists. Taking into account the consequences that almost every war brings with it, we want to examine the extent to which children in Spain were deprived of a normal childhood and freedom at that time. Based on the analyzed scenes, we will show the gradational change of children from innocent victims of war to brave fight- ers for their own ideals. A peaceful and happy childhood was replaced by growing up and maturing prematurely, and the consequences of the war remained present in the years after this horrific event.

В художественном творчестве философа М.Ф. Ахундова всегда остается актуальным понятие «Я», понятие времени и пространства. М.Ф.Ахундов, живший и творивший на основе гуманистических идеалов, по духу своего творчества принадлежит не только своему народу, но и всему человечеству. Мы видим это как в создаваемых им образах, так и в его практиче-ской деятельности. В качестве общефилософского подхода философ М.Ф. Ахундов провозгла-шает спасение человечества черех путь всеобщего совершенствования. На основе анализа про-блем бытия, причины и следствия в разитии, М.Ф. Ахундов воспринимал движение не только как перемещение в пространстве и количественные изменения,но и количественные изменения во времени происходящие циклически. Настаивая на бессмысленности всего несовместимого с интеллектом, М.Ф. Ахундов считает разум и его суждения неоспоримыми.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Antibiotics are a class of natural and synthetic compounds that inhibit the growth of or kill other microorganisms. Overuse of antibiotic is one of the most important factors for the development and spread of resistance in the hospital, as well as in the community. Present study was designed to describe antibiotic use in children and to assess the impact of an educational intervention on antibiotic prescription. Methods: The present study was conducted in pediatric ward of a tertiary care institute. The study population included two groups of children – each having 250 children. The first group consisted of 250 consecutive children admitted in one unit of the pediatric ward and they were analyzed for antibiotic use without any prior priming of the members of the unit regarding rationality of antibiotic use. This was followed by an intervention in the form of a 3hour workshop for all members of the unit. The second group included another 250 children consecutively admitted in the wards after this intervention. Results: In Pre intervention group 55 (44%) children received antibiotics in rational way, while in Post intervention group 90(60.40%) children received antibiotic in rational way. One hundred and thirty-six children (49.4%) received antibiotics for respiratory tract infections, this being the commonest disease for which antibiotics were received. As seen in the table, unindicated use of antibiotic was significantly reduced in Post intervention group (p = 0.03). Conclusion: The present study included 500 children. There were 285 (57%) males and 215 (43%) females. Amongst these 500 patients, 178 (35.6%) were below 1 year of age. This group had the highest number of patients. In the Pre intervention group, 55 (44%) children received antibiotics rationally, while in Post intervention group 90(60.40%) children received antibiotic rationally.

Published: September 2021

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of operative mortality in patients who had low serum albumin on admission and were undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after nutritional support at a tertiary care cardiac center in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted at an adult cardiac surgery department of the largest tertiary care cardiac center in Karachi, Pakistan. Patients who had undergone isolated CABG during January to December 2019 admitted with low serum albumin (less than 3.5mg/dl) and received nutritional treatment before surgery were included in the study. Patients were monitored for a month to measure the 30 day mortality.
Results: There were 82.4% male patients and the mean age was 55.49±8.52 years. Preoperative mean serum haemoglobin, serum creatinine, and serum albumin levels were 12.225±1.19 mg/dl, 1.05±0.21 mg/dl, and 2.825±0.39 mg/dl respectively. Postoperative mortality was recorded in 1.7% of the total patients.
Conclusion: In patients with low serum albumin levels and had undergone isolated CABG after nutritional pre-treatment, mortality was mainly associated with peri-operative myocardial infarction. While, the incidence of delayed wound healing and atrial fibrillation were found to be high in these patients.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of GRACE score for predicting obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the largest public sector cardiac care center of the Pakistan between January 2020 and June 2020. In this study, we included adult patients diagnosed with NSTEMI and correlation of GRACE score was assessed with angiographic finding of obstructive CAD defined as ≥50% stenosis in the left main or ≥70% stenosis in other coronary arteries.
Results: A total of 227 patients were included in this study, out of whom 72.2% (164) were male patients and mean age was 55.77 ± 9.15 years. Mean GRACE score was found to be 95.89 ± 21.15. On coronary angiography obstructive CAD was present in 84.6% (192) of the patients. Area under the cure for predicting obstructive CAD was 0.669 [0.552 to 0.785]. The optimal cutoff value of GRACE score was ≥ 84 with sensitivity of 79.7% [73.3% to 85.1%] and specificity of 57.1% [39.3% to 73.7%]. GRACE score of ≥ 84 was found to be an independent predictor of obstructive CAD with odds ratio of 4.33 [1.61 - 11.64; p=0.004] adjusted for gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, family history of CAD, and smoking.
Conclusion: GRACE score has a moderate predictive value in predicting obstructive CAD in patients with NSTEMI. The optimal cutoff value of 84 is an independent predictor with good sensitivity but moderate specificity in predicting obstructive CAD.

Objectives: A conflict of evidence exists regarding the gender-based differences in outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), therefore, aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics, angiographic findings, and outcome of primary PCI for men and women.
Methodology: Data for this study was extracted from a prospectively managed primary PCI database of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Karachi, Pakistan. We included consecutive patients of either gender with STEMI undergone primary PCI. Data on clinical characteristics, angiographic finding, and post procedure outcomes for female were compared with male group and also with a propensity matched male cohort.
Results: A total of 2400 patients were included with 421(17.5%) women. The mean age for the men and women were 54.44±11.16 and 57.17±11.01 years respectively; p<0.001. Women had significantly high prevalence of hypertension (61.0% vs. 39.1%; p<0.001), diabetes (37.1% vs. 23.9%; p<0.001), and obesity (18.5% vs. 13.5%; p=0.008). The median symptom onset to hospital arrival time was 216 [366-124] minutes vs. 180 [310-112] minutes; p=0.001 for women and men. In-hospital mortality rate was 3.8% vs. 2.5%; p=0.147 for female and unmatched male cohort, while it was 3.6% vs. 3.8%; p=0.855 for female and propensity matched male cohort.
Conclusion: Gender-based differences persist in clinical profile of the patients with STEMI. Women are likely to be older in age with more diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Gender-based difference in outcome of primary PCI is appears to be driven by differences in clinical profile as adjusted outcome is not different for men and women.
