The article seeks to explore modern business environment for Ukrainian industrial enterprises of railway transport that challenges the development and implementation of mechanisms to intensify economic behaviour management practices in the context of neo-industrial modernization that will facilitate better access to entering new markets, help to attract new consumers and enhance the enterprise competitiveness. It is emphasized that ensuring intensification of economic behavior management for railway transport industry enterprises in the frameworks of neo-industrial modernization is a multidimensional process since the ultimate performance depends on the quality of management decisions and involves the implementation of innovative approaches as well as relies on other factors that determine the effectiveness of business activities. The proposed concept for the intensification of economic behavior management in the railway transport industry has to provide relevant information management support that will guide effective managerial decision making together with offering a mandatory forecast of their economic outcomes, ensuring operational control, etc. It is argued that the intensification of economic behavior management is a driving factor in building a development strategy of railway transport enterprises with due regard to its structural elements and their indicators effects, and accounting for their advantages and disadvantages. The study suggests a conceptual methodological approach to evaluate the economic behavior of industrial enterprises in the sector of railway transport which covers the three phases: preliminary, basic and final. The findings provide a reasoned argument as to the effectiveness of this approach in management decision making and their further implementation in enhancing economic behavior management of the railway transport industry enterprises in the neo-industrial modernization business settings.

THE POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES OF LIPID NANOPARTICLES IN TREATMENT OF ACNE
Authors: Sansare Vipul Ajit , Kanavaje Abhijeet Mohan
Published: July 2020

Acne is a disfiguring disorder of the skin with significant cosmetic morbidity that may lead to serious psychological and social dysfunction. The skin disease comes in two forms. The most well-known form is Acne vulgaris (referred to as acne), which mostly manifests in teens but may continue into the early 20s. The second form is called Acne rosacea (referred to as rosacea) and mostly affects 30- to 60-year-olds. The two forms, despite sharing a common prefix, are quite unrelated in their respective pathophysiology, have different approaches to treatment and hence are considered two separate conditions. The conventional drug delivery system is efficient in the management of acne but poor patient compliance and adverse effects limit its efficacy. Lipid nanoparticles are novel nano lipid carriers made from biocompatible lipid which reduces toxicity; improve physical stability, skin hydration, and film formation. Furthermore, lipid nanoparticles protect the encapsulated drug from degradation. Thus current review focused on the potential use of lipid nanoparticles for the management of acne.

Molecular Insights into the Multifunctional Role of Natural Compounds: Autophagy Modulation and Cancer Prevention
Authors: Rahman Md. Ataur , Rahman Hasanur , Hossain Md. Shahadat , Biswas Partha , Islam Rokibul , Uddin Md Jamal , Rahman Habibur , Rhim Hyewhon
Published: July 2020

Autophagy is a vacuolar, lysosomal degradation pathway for injured and damaged protein molecules and organelles in eukaryotic cells, which is controlled by nutrients and stress responses. Dysregulation of cellular autophagy may lead to various diseases such as neurodegenerative disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and malignancy. Recently, natural compounds have come to attention for being able to modulate the autophagy pathway in cancer prevention, although the prospective role of autophagy in cancer treatment is very complex and not yet clearly elucidated. Numerous synthetic chemicals have been identified that modulate autophagy and are favorable candidates for cancer treatment, but they have adverse side effects. Therefore, different phytochemicals, which include natural compounds and their derivatives, have attracted significant attention for use as autophagy modulators in cancer treatment with minimal side effects. In the current review, we discuss the promising role of natural compounds in modulating the autophagy pathway to control and prevent cancer, and provide possible therapeutic options.

Financial Distress and Suicidal Behaviour During COVID-19: Family Identification Attenuates the Negative Relationship Between Financial Distress And Mental Ill-Health
Authors: Stevenson Clifford , Wakefield Juliet
Published: July 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized as a ‘perfect storm’ of risk factors for suicide, with increased social isolation exacerbating health and economic stressors. Recent research has evidenced the initial impact of the pandemic upon suicide, but has yet to fully explore how elevated financial threat and social isolation may together result in increased suicide ideation and behaviour, or to identify which social factors can promote resilience. We report the results from an online survey of 457 participants which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants completed a range of self-report measures of financial distress and mental health, as well as the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised. We find substantial associations between financial distress and loneliness, stress, anxiety, depression and suicidal behaviour. Specifically, financial distress predicts suicidal thoughts/behaviour via increased stress and loneliness. Conversely, we find that identification with one’s family group attenuates these relationships. Our findings reaffirm the importance of social factors in attenuating the negative mental health outcomes of economic crises. In the current pandemic, loneliness and stress are likely to be particular vulnerabilities through which financial distress leads to suicidal thoughts/behaviour, while family identification is likely to be a fundamental resilience factor.
A new anisotropic soft tissue model for elimination of unphysical auxetic behaviour
Authors: Fereidoonnezhad Behrooz , McGarry Patrick , O'Connor Catherine
Published: July 2020

Auxetic behaviour , the unphysical transverse expansion during uniaxial tension, is a common and undesirable feature of classical anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models for soft tissue. In this study we uncover the underlying mechanism of such behaviour; high levels of in-plane compaction occurs due to increasing tension in strain-stiffening fibres, leading to unphysical out-of-plane expansion. We demonstrate that auxetic behaviour is primarily influenced by the ratio of fibre to matrix stiffness, and is accentuated by strain-stiffening fibres in a constant stiffness matrix (e.g., the widely used neo-Hookean matrix with exponentially stiffening fibres). We propose a new bilinear strain stiffening fibre and matrix (BLFM) model which allows close control of the fibre-matrix stiffness ratio, thereby robustly eliminating auxetic behaviour. We demonstrate that our model provides accurate prediction of experimentally observed out-of-plane compaction, in addition to stress-stretch anisotropy, for arterial tissue subjected to uniaxial tension testing.
Redefining thirst: A conceptual four-compartment model characterising types of thirst, and their underlying mechanisms and interactions
Authors: Carroll Harriet
Published: July 2020

Currently, the conceptualisation of thirst is based nearly entirely on osmoregulation, with some acknowledgement of anticipatory-thirst, though with no testable mechanism. Such a model of thirst is unable to explain many thirst-related phenomena, such as why drinking can occur with hypotonicity, or how quantity of intake at a drinking occasion is regulated. Herein, I aim to unify various lines of thinking from different disciplines surrounding thirst and body water regulation by presenting a four-compartment model comprising of both primary and secondary thirsts: true-thirst (osmo-regulated); contextual-thirst (e.g. mouth-breathing); pharmacological-thirst (induced from drugs); and impulsive-thirst (everyday spontaneous drinking). Within this framework, a differentiation of thirst and dry mouth is presented, with further differentiation between dry mouth (‘true-xerostomia’, hyposalivation) and the sensation of dry mouth (‘sensational-xerostomia’, a typically non-overwhelming desire to drink). Based off pharmacological-thirst mechanisms, the cholinergic system is proposed to initiate impulsive-thirst by triggering a (sensation of) dry mouth in everyday life (i.e. without hypertonicity). Following this, psychological food-appetite constructs that are centrally regulated (sensory-specific satiety, palatability, and pleasantness) are applied to thirst to explain quantities of fluid consumed, termination of drinking, and drinking patterns in everyday life, as well as offer further insights into how drinking habits are formed. The historical context is also provided, demonstrating that most of these are not new ideas in isolation, but combining them to create a unified model of thirst has not previously been attempted. Finally, ageing-, exercise-, alcohol-hangover-, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced thirst are explained by the model presented, given as examples of dysregulated hydration physiology causing thirst or drinking behaviours currently unexplainable by true osmoregulatory or anticipatory-thirst. Whilst some anomalies still remain, all these examples have some form of dysregulated cholinergic activity as a commonality. It is likely this model is incomplete and ideas for further exploration are presented with the hope that the conceptual model can be investigated, validated, refined, and developed further as appropriate. Overall, this thesis outlines a four-compartment model of thirst regulation (at least partially) explaining several outstanding questions relating to drinking behaviours.
Development of the Parenting In a Pandemic Scale (PIPS)
Authors: Waller Rebecca , Chester Maia , Rodriguez Yuheiry , Wagner Nicholas J.
Published: July 2020

AbstractParenting is critical to creating and maintaining healthy child development. Importantly, there are multiple determinants of effective parenting, including the psychological resources of the parent, contextual sources of stress and support, and characteristics of the child. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in colossal disruptions to family life, and has fundamentally altered the landscape of parenting. In the face of escalating infection and mortality rates, rising unemployment, financial insecurity, school closures, and shelter-in-place orders, parents have had to create new environments in which their children can flourish while, in many cases, continuing to juggle ongoing work, health, and emotional stressors of their own. Several recent reviews have offered a variety of recommendations for parents to promote child well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, no measures have been developed to assess how parents have adapted their parenting behaviors in response to the pandemic. To better understand the lasting impact of the pandemic on children’s socioemotional health and well-being, we urgently need to characterize the impact of the pandemic on parenting practices. Accordingly, the current study developed the 24-item Parenting In a Pandemic Scale (PIPS) to assess behaviors enacted by parents to mitigate infection risk, manage children’s social and emotional needs, structure children’s activities, help with schoolwork or education, and promote physical activity. The scale is available in English and Spanish and is freely accessible for research, educational, or scientific purposes. We anticipate the PIPS being employed in studies alongside other, validated measures of parenting practices, parenting stress, or parental burnout, as well as in relation to measures of child mental health and resilience in the face of the pandemic.
Social and behavioral consequences of mask policies during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: July 2020

Mandatory and voluntary mask policies may have yet unknown social and behavioral consequences related to the effectiveness of the measure, stigmatization, and perceived fairness. Serial cross-sectional data (04/14-05/26/20) from nearly 7,000 German participants demonstrate that implementing a mandatory policy increased actual compliance despite moderate acceptance; mask wearing correlated positively with other protective behaviors. A preregistered experiment (n = 925) further indicates that a voluntary policy would likely lead to insufficient compliance, would be perceived as less fair, and could intensify stigmatization. A mandatory policy appears to be an effective, fair, and socially responsible solution to curb transmissions of airborne viruses.
Freeing capacity in WM through the use of LTM representations
Authors: Bartsch Lea Maria , Shepherdson Peter
Published: July 2020

Previous research indicates that long-term memory (LTM) may contribute to performance in working memory (WM) tasks. Across three experiments we investigated the extent to which active maintenance in WM can be replaced by relying on information stored in episodic LTM, thereby freeing capacity for additional information in WM. First, participants encoded word pairs into LTM, and then completed a WM task, also involving word pairs. Crucially, the pairs presented in each WM trial comprised varying numbers of new pairs and the previously learned LTM pairs. Experiment 1 showed that recall performance in the WM task was unaffected when memory set size increased through the addition of LTM pairs, but that it deteriorated when set size increased through adding new pairs. In Experiment 2 we investigated the robustness of this effect, orthogonally manipulating the number of new and LTM pairs used in the WM task. When WM load was low, performance declined with the addition of LTM pairs, but remained superior to performance with the matched set size comprising only new pairs. By contrast, when WM load was higher, adding LTM pairs did not affect performance. In Experiment 3 we found that the benefit of LTM representations arises from retrieving these during the WM test, leading them to suffer from typical interference effects. We conclude that individuals can outsource workload to LTM to optimise performance, and that the WM system negotiates the exchange of information between WM and LTM depending on the current memory load.
The quality of research on mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic: A note of caution after a systematic review
Authors: Nieto Ines , NAVAS JUAN FRANCISCO , Vazquez Carmelo
Published: July 2020

Background: SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has spurred scientific production in diverse fieldsof knowledge, including mental health. Yet, the quality of current research may bechallenged by the urgent need to provide immediate results to understand and alleviatethe consequences of the pandemic. This systematic review aims to examine compliancewith basic methodological quality criteria and open science practices on the mental healtheffects of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A systematic search was performed using PubMed and Scopus databases onthe 13th of May. Empirical studies, published in peer-reviewed journals in English,between February and May 2020, were included. The dependent variable(s) required tobe quantitative and related to mental health. Exclusion criteria included clinicalpharmacological trials, and studies using psychophysiological or biological recordings.The study protocol was previously pre-registered in https://osf.io/bk3gw/.Findings: Twenty-eight studies were identified. More than 75% met the requirementsrelated to reporting key methodological and statistical information. However, 89.3% usedconvenience samples and 92.86% lacked of a priori power analysis. There was lowcompliance with open science recommendations, such as pre-registration of studies (0%)and availability of databases (3.57%), which raise concerns about the validity,generalisability, and reproducibility of the findings.Interpretation: While the importance of offering rapid evidence-based responses tomitigate mental health problems stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic is undeniable,it should not be done at the expense of sacrificing scientific rigor. The results of this studymay stimulate researchers and funding agencies to try to orchestrate efforts and resourcesand follow standard codes of good science.
Who is impacted? Personality predicts individual differences in psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany
Authors: Modersitzki Nick , Phan Le Vy , Kuper Niclas , Rauthmann John F.
Published: July 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in people’s private and public lives that are unprecedented in modern history. However, little is known about the differential psychological consequences of restrictions that have been imposed to fight the pandemic. In a large and diverse German sample (N = 1,320), we examined how individual differences in psychological consequences of the pandemic (perceived restrictiveness of government-supported measures; global pandemic-related appraisals; subjective well-being) were associated with a broad set of faceted personality traits (Big Five, Honesty-Humility, Dark Triad). Facets of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Openness were among the strongest and most important predictors of psychological outcomes, even after controlling for basic socio-demographic variables (gender, age). These findings suggest that psychological consequences of the pandemic depend on personality and thus add to the growing literature on the importance of considering individual differences in crisis situations.

Published: July 2020

Objective: To assess the dissemination of evidence-based content within smartphone apps for depression and anxiety by developing and applying user-adjusted analysis—a method for weighting app content based on each app’s number of active users. Method: We searched the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and identified 27 apps within the top search hits, which real-world users are most likely to encounter. We developed a codebook of evidence-based treatment elements by reviewing past research on empirically supported treatments. We coded the apps to develop an initial tally of the frequency of treatment elements within the MH apps. We then developed and applied user-adjusted analysis to refine the tallies based on each app’s number of monthly active users.Results: The two most popular apps were responsible for 90% of monthly active users, and user-adjusted analysis markedly altered conclusions of prior reports based on tallies alone. For example, mindfulness was present in 37% of apps but reached 96% of monthly active users, cognitive restructuring was present in 22% but reached only 2%, and exposure was present in 7% but reached only 0.0004%. Conclusions: The potential impact of MH apps on mental health may be best evaluated via assessment that combines tallies of evidence-based content with data on the content users are actually accessing. Given wide variation in the popularity of MH apps, findings weighted by usage data may differ markedly from findings based on raw tallies alone.
Potentials and Limitations of Educational Videos on YouTube for Science Communication
Authors: Kohler Sarah , Dietrich Tabea Clara
Published: July 2020

YouTube has become an alternative learning platform which fosters learning on demand with educational videos. Educational videos are understood as a fruitful strategy to enhance the user’s knowledge and are applied in media education, e.g. in schools, as well as in science communication, e.g. to inform about climate change. Previous research has analyzed the quality of educational videos especially on medical and scientific topics or which artistic or creative aspects within the videos help to spread information. Yet, theoretical considerations whether educational videos can be used similarly for the heterogeneous group of users are missing. Deriving from both research perspectives, media education and communication science, this paper investigates which potentials and limitations both perspectives provide for educational videos and their users and discusses whether educational videos can be understood as science communication.

Published: July 2020

Background: Glycated hemoglobin A1c is a well-known indicator of glycemic control in diabetes patients. It comprises of 5% of total hemoglobin in non-diabetic patients as well. Iron Deficiency Anemia is most common cause of anemia, especially in this part of the world. So, we study the effects of Iron deficiency Anemia on HbA1c levels in non-diabetic adults to determine whether the HbA1c levels increase if any.

Methods: A 100 non-diabetic adult patients with Iron Deficiency anemia admitted in various medicine wards and attending OPDs of J.L.N. Medical College and 100 healthy controls were enrolled after fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Detailed history of clinical examination and biochemical examination was performed including HbA1c.

Results: Mean HbA1c level is more in iron deficient Anemic non-diabetic patients in comparison to non-Anemic non-diabetic patients. Mean HbA1c is 5.01 ± 0.41 in control group. While mean HbA1c level in case group is 6.11 ± 0.42. The difference is statistically significant (p value <.001).

Conclusion: Iron deficiency Anemia is independent factor affecting HbA1c level in non diabetic patients & it should be interpreted carefully in all iron deficient anemic patients.

O naravi i stupnjevima zaređenih službenika u pismima sv. Jeronima
Authors: Mišić Anto
Published: July 2020

Članak je napisan prigodom 1600. obljetnice smrti sv. Jeronima, velikoga ranokršćanskoga pisca, bibličara i teologa. Jeronim se rodio u Stridonu, gradiću na granici Dalmacije i Panonije, koji su Goti razorili još za njegova života. U članku je prikazan Jeronimov nauk o naravi i stupnjevima zaređenih službenika prema zbirci pisama koja sadržava 154 pisma, od kojih je Jeronim napisao 116, a 16 je pisama upućeno njemu. U zbirku su uključena i pisma od kojih je neka Jeronim preveo na latinski, a neka su apokrifna. Važnost i bogatstvo zbirke pisama očituje se u mnoštvu različitih tema i brojnosti osoba s kojima se Jeronim dopisivao. O zaređenim službenicima Jeronim piše u 27 od 116 autentičnih pisama, ponekad samo u naznakama, a u četiri pisma opširnije raspravlja o svećeništvu. Jeronim koristi tada uobičajeno nazivlje o zaređenim službenicima: episkop, prezbiter i đakon. Vrlo rijetko koristi i latinske nazive sacerdos i sacerdotio, koje primjenjuje isključivo na episkope i prezbitere, ali ne na đakone. Kada želi jednim nazivom ujediniti sve zaređene službenike, koristi naziv clericus. Da bi netko postao službenik u Crkvi, prema Jeronimu, odlučan je izbor i poslanje zajednice, polaganje ruku samo je potvrda poslanja. U svojim pismima Jeronim govori o biti i različitim stupnjevima zaređenih službenika (episkopa i prezbitera), povezujući ih s apostolima, sakramentima i Crkvom. Najvažniju ulogu koju imaju u zajednici slavljenje je sakramenata, napose euharistije. Jeronimova je posebnost da on odlučno niječe bitnu razliku u stupnju svetoga reda između episkopa i prezbitera, razlikuje ih samo služba koju svaki ima u Crkvi. Razlika je, dakle, više sociološka nego ontološka. Ðakoni se bitno razlikuju od episkopa i prezbitera, oni su nasljednici sedmorice koje su apostoli izabrali i odredili za služenje u zajednici. Premda Jeronim smatra da ne postoji bitna razlika u svetom redu između episkopa i prezbitera, on ne niječe različitost ulogâ i službi koje obnašaju u Crkvi. Korijeni te različitosti nisu teološki, nego društveni i ustrojbeni. Budući da je Crkva također i ljudska zajednica, ona mora imati ustroj sličan drugim ljudskim zajednicama, primjerice vojsci ili posadi broda u kojima se sluša zapovjednika.

The Tax Consequences of Legal Cannabis
Authors: Irvine Ian , Light Miles
Published: July 2020

We explore the tax revenue consequences of legalizing recreational cannabis in Canada. We build, calibrate, and simulate a two-level nested demand model in which legal and illegal cannabis are differentiated products and that incorporates econometric estimates of critical parameters. First, we find that sales tax and excise tax revenues accruing from legalization may be fully offset by declines in revenues from alcohol and tobacco. Second, and in contrast to excise and sales tax revenue, new revenue will accrue from personal income and corporate profits taxes. Using some available information on the wage structure of cannabis-producing corporations and imposing a Pareto distribution on incomes within the industry, we obtain an estimate of personal income tax revenues. To compute corporate profits tax revenue, we use priors on labour and capital shares and simulate the results of assumptions of debt leverage. We also estimate the private dollar value of legalization to individuals using a utility function approach. Per user, our results suggest a value roughly equal to $500 per annum. The results of this study may carry over to high-sin-tax economies contemplating legalization.

Kekerasan terhadap anak sering diistilahkan dengan perlakuan salah terhadap anak atau child abuse. Semua tindakan kekerasan kepada anak-anak akan direkam dalam bawah sadar mereka dan akan dibawa sampai kepada masa dewasa dan terus sepanjang hidupnya. Jika hal ini terjadi, maka akan menjadi rantai dan budaya kekerasan. Jumlah kasus kekerasan pada anak di Indonesia terus meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Pelaku kekerasan terhadap anak justru adalah orang yang diharapkan oleh sang anak untuk mendapatkan perlindungan, orang yang mereka patut dipercaya, seperti orangtua atau kerabat anak, pengasuh, orang di sekitar tempat tinggal anak, dan guru.

Globalisasi menghadirkan tatanan baru dunia yang lebih terbuka akan informasi dan modernisasi. Globalisasi tidak hanya memberikan nilai positif bagi kehidupan manusia, tetapi juga tidak lepas dari pengaruh negatif yang dibawanya dalam berbagai sisi kehidupan manusia. Dihadapkan pada persoalan globalisasi, tulisan ini memberikan potret bagaimana implementasi Pancasila sebagai sumber nilai bagi adanya hukum dan kepribadian bangsa Indonesia di tengah-tengah pusaran globalisasi. Pancasila dalam pusaran globalisasi harus tetap menjadi prinsip dan ideologi kebangsaan yang mampu membangkitkan keyakinan dan rasa percaya diri bahwa kita adalah bangsa yang terhormat di dunia bukan sebaliknya.
Book Review: Secularism and Muslim Democracy in Turkey
Authors: Ali-Fauzi Ihsan
Published: July 2020

In 2002, The AKP (Partai Keadilan dan Pembangunan), which supported by Islamists, won elections in Turkey. Since then, the AKP has grown more in line with its harsh ideological position and adopted a more conservative approach and the full support of democracy. What factors could explain the AKP’s victory and the party’s change even further? In this book, M. Hasan Yavuz showed that an open and democratic political system has encouraged radically religious groups to moderate their political practices and ideologies, to win the election. It also sustained by good economic conditions and a healthy public space, which allows for the negotiation of various differences openly and peacefully. The AKP’s victory in 2007 elections further solidified this view: the common political reality will ultimately defeat the ideological and dogmatic rigidity that Islamic radical had before.
Gerakan Islam Radikal di Sulawesi Selatan: Pola Rekrutmen dan Pola Gerakan Komite Persiapan Penegakan Syariat Islam (KPPSI) dan Laskar Jundullah
Authors: Karsono Bambang
Published: July 2020

Preparatory Committee for the Upholding of Islamic Law (KPPSI) was established on 28 May 2000. Laskar Jundullah is an autonomous body under the KPPSI, but there is no effective coordination between Laskar Jundullah and KPPSI. In recruitment, membership of the KPPSI takes place openly, whereas Laskar Jundullah is more closed. This research explains the relationship between the two organizations, intended as a reference model to understand radical religious movements in the region. The data collected through interview, literature reviews, papers and related news. This study shows that an Islamic organization is not free from intact with radical Muslim groups. In fact, loose structure its even makes the organization more vulnerable to being used by the radical groups.

Influence of Compression Ratio on Flywheel Dimension for a Naturally Aspirated Spark Ignition Engine: A Numerical Study
Authors: Yudianto Aan , Li Peixuan
Published: July 2020

The proper design of the flywheel undeniably determines in tuning the engine to confirm the better output engine performance. The aim of this study is to mathematically investigate the effect of various values of the compression ratio on some essential parameters to determine the appropriate value for the flywheel dimension. A numerical calculation approach was proposed to eventually determine the dimension of the engine flywheel on a five-cylinder four-stroke Spark Ignition (SI) engine. The various compression ratios of 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, and 11 were selected to perform the calculations. The effects of compression ratio on effective pressure, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), dynamic irregularity value of the crankshaft, and the diameter of the flywheel was clearly investigated. The study found that 2.5 increment value of the compression ratio significantly increases the effective pressure of about 41.53% on the starting of the expansion stroke. While at the end of the compression stroke, the rise of effective pressure is about 76.67%, and the changes in dynamic irregularity merely increase by about 1.79%. The same trend applies to the flywheel diameter and width, which increases 2.08% for both.

Facing Europe: Regional Aspects of Paradiplomatics in Chernivtsi Oblast (Current Challenges and Possible Solutions)
Authors: Fisanov Volodymyr
Published: July 2020

The article analyzes the phenomenon of paradiplomacy as a factor of fragmentation in a globalized world, which reflects the complex processes of reducing the role of the state as an actor and a foreign policy instrument in the post-Westphalian era. Different and real processes of regionalization and transregional interaction are investigated, using paradigm diplomacy in the Chernivtsi region. The author explores the factor of increasing the role of regional elites in order to increase their own legitimacy in the context of transregional interaction in the Upper Region Euroregion.
Complexities and contradictions of transregional cooperation are considered. It’s concluded that the narrowing of this Euroregion should be avoided for ineffective communication between the managers and representatives of the bureaucracy of the three countries. The article noted that the granting of dual citizenship to representatives of the Romanian and Moldovan communities of Chernivtsi region is a certain critical milestone holding back highquality economic and social cooperation within the Upper Prut Euroregion.
The author’s proposal is to launch a joint international educational and cultural project of Ukraine and Romania «History of Bukovina of the Twentieth сentury: without stereotypes and layers». The implementation of such project will help to overcome the old stereotypes in contemporary Ukrainian-Romanian relations, being a reliable tool for a more effective cultural paradigm over the next decade. We are facing the construction of European tradition in Ukraine, as well as in Romania and Moldova, which should be worthy of puzzle. Only then will the citizens of our three countries residing in the Upper Prut Euroregion become truly status citizens of United Europe, feeling the positive effects of the development of regional paradiplomacy.
