Published: March 2019

The modern stage of Ukrainian regions’ economy development, on the one hand, shifts the accents towards administrative and financial decentralization with simultaneous transfer of resources, authorities and responsibilities to the local level, and on the other hand – stipulates efficient use of territories’ internal capacity and orientation at «smart specialization», optimization of the system of authorities and prevention of regional asymmetries. In this sense, an efficient system of inter-budgetary relations is the key to balanced sustainable development of the country and its regions, which should minimize the disproportions of regions’ development, provide efficient redistribution of budget resources inside the budget system caused by territorial asymmetries of revenue base and, therefore, serve as the key instrument to maintain sustainable territorial development. The paper aims to reflect on domestic experience of construction of the inter-budgetary relations model in conditions of financial decentralization in order to outline the perspective directions of its improvement. The paper assesses current functioning condition of the system of inter-budgetary relations in Ukraine according to the results of the first stage of financial decentralization. The risks and challenges of its aggravation for regions’ social and economic development are outlined. The following of them are defined as the most essential: unbalanced local budgets; excessive transfer dependence; imperfect mechanism of subvention allocation for forming of CTCs (consolidated territorial communities) infrastructure; legally unregulated and non-transparent mechanism of investment subventions allocation among the regions; insufficient mechanism of allocation of additional subsidy granted for oblast budgets as compensation of revenue loses by local budgets emerging from delegated liabilities regarding funding the educational and healthcare institutions; accumulation of the volumes of temporarily free local governments’ funds on deposit accounts in state banks. The range of practical recommendations is suggested in order to minimize the risks of inter-budgetary relations’ decentralization, in particular improvement of the procedure of allocating the infrastructural subvention to CTCs and subvention for social and economic development of regions; delineation local governments’ functional liabilities.

Published: March 2019

The article analyzes socio-economic features of determining subsistence level for main social and demographic groups of population: children under 6; children aged 6 to 18 years old; able-bodied persons; persons who have lost their ability to work. It is substantiated that subsistence level as the basic social standard must correspond to actual needs of the population, which means calculating the cost of consumption of food and other goods and services, reflecting the value sufficient to ensure the normal functioning of the human body, preserving its health, and of a set of food, as well as a minimum set of other goods and a minimum set of services needed to meet the basic social and cultural needs of a person. It is emphasized that the law-determined subsistence level should indeed reflect the cost of a minimum level actual for a state and be the basis for social benefits and pensions calculation. It is concluded that there is an urgent need to update the set of food and non-food items and services for the needs of pensioners, disabled people, people with special needs, in medical products, specific medical equipment and necessary medical services, and the needs of children aged 6 to 18 years in access to educational and other services.It has been proved there is a need to improve the procedure for establishing and approving a subsistence level at the level corresponding to actual needs of people, rather than to financial capabilities of the state. It is concluded that to determine the subsistence level for main social and demographic groups of the population, it is necessary to systematically calculate the values of the sets of food, sets of non-food items and sets of services based on average consumer prices (tariffs) in the country covering the month preceding the month of calculation. This is going to help increase the state social standards in Ukraine and increase wages and social benefits. In addition, it is going to help further improve functioning of the   mechanisms that realize and introduce the legal basis for the formation and application of state social standards and norms, aimed at the realization of main social guarantees stated in the Constitution of Ukraine.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФІНАНСОВОГО МЕНЕДЖМЕНТУ НА АВІАБУДІВНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВАХ УКРАЇНИ

У статті розглянуто особливості проблематики та здійснення фінансового менеджменту вітчизняними підприємствами авіабудування. Висвітлено особливості стану та перспектив розвитку авіабудівної галузі України та окреслено її проблеми. Серед них: відсутність серійного виробництва, руйнування ринку комплектуючих для авіатехніки, не систематичність державного управління підприємствами, тривала відмова від оновлення основних фондів.Проаналізовано фінансово-економічний стан одного із суб’єктів галузі (Харківського державного авіаційного виробничого підприємства), на основі чого визначено можливі шляхи розвитку літакобудівних підприємств. Зокрема наголошується, що відновлення галузі можливе за умови широкомасштабної модернізації виробничих потужностей та реструктуризації наявних боргів,  що погіршує їх інвестиційну привабливість. Одним з проблемних факторів названо вимивання обігових коштів на невиробничі цілі, яке має бути зупинене шляхом виконання завдань фінансового оздоровлення підприємств галузі в рамках єдиної стратегії розвитку.Враховуючи особливості та потреби галузі вітчизняного авіабудування визначено, що стратегія фінансового менеджменту має ґрунтуватись на необхідності забезпечення швидкого переходу до рентабельного виробництва. Серед джерел фінансування, які мають забезпечити антикризову стратегію, названо наступні: іноземні інвестиції та спільне виробництво за наявності державних гарантій.У статті робиться висновок, що причини кризи на підприємствах вітчизняного авіабудування мають системний характер і потребують глибокого переосмислення такої функції держави, як ефективне управління і адекватний розвиток специфічних державних активів, а саме – розвитку високотехнологічних підприємств зі значною часткою інтелектуальної складової. Враховуючи наведені в публікації дані щодо поточного стану підприємств авіабудування, лише дієва реструктуризація з частковим списанням заборгованостей, ріст яких і викликав необхідність здійснення фінансової санації, дозволить почати шлях інноваційного розвитку та ефективного фінансового менеджменту. Невідкладним першим кроком задля виходу із ситуації можна вважати принципову реорганізацію великих підприємств та створення нових, невеликих і компактних, за світовими стандартами, які будуть створювати літаки лише конкретних моделей відповідно до ринкового попиту.

Published: March 2019

The legal problems of identification and evaluations of the probability of corruption risks manifestation are analyzed in the article. Found, most of anti-corruption measures of the authorities are formal and amount to the adoption of political documents. The purpose of the article is the theoretical substantiation of the components of the process of managing corruption risks and motivating the most appropriate methods of risk assessment. The following is proposed in the article: the anti-corruption control is understood as a system of checks aimed at identifying corruption risks and assessing the implementation of anti-corruption measures at the enterprise; the corruption risk is understood as the probability that an event of a corruption offence or the offence related to corruption will occur, which will negatively influence the achievement of the enterprise’s goals and objectives. It is recommended that the reasons for corruption risks are conditions that encourage (stimulate), cause or allow a person in the course of his or her functional duties, to commit unlawful acts characterized by deceit, concealment or misuse of trust in order to obtain money, property or services, as well as to evade the payment of funds for personal gain. The realization of corruption risk is manifested in various types of corporate fraud, in particular, illegal appropriation of assets, corruption as a result of conflict of interests, fraud involving the manipulation of accounting (reporting) data. It is stated that the main criterion that determines the probability of corruption risk manifestation is the frequency of cases of committing a corruption offence, taking into account the time limits. In this regard, there are risks with a low, average and high level of manifestation probability.

Управління вартістю підприємства є актуальним завданням на нинішній день з огляду на повільне відновлення динамічності розвитку вітчизняних підприємств. Відкриття нових ринків збуту, зокрема для промислових виробників країни, налагодження співпраці з європейськими споживачами вимагає додаткових фінансових вливань у модернізацію виробництва, упровадження ресурсоощадних технологій, проведення диверсифікації бізнесу, навчання персоналу. Показано, що оцінка властивостей підходу не відображає ринкових умов, у яких не враховується вплив зовнішнього середовища на вартість підприємства, і тому не може служити надійними даними про стан підприємства в баченні потенційного інвестора, сфера інтересів якого — прогнозований дохід від майбутніх потоків і термін окупності вкладених коштів. Тому оцінку вартості підприємства було проведено за допомогою двох методів комбінованого підходу, який включає властивості методу доходу (метод дисконтування грошових потоків) і майновий підхід (метод чистих активів).На прикладі діяльності діючого промислового підприємства запропоновано використання комбінованого підходу оцінки вартості, в основі якого лежить розрахунок на базі дохідного і майнового підходів, підсумкові результати яких зводяться до узгодженої вартості об’єкта оцінки після процедури погодження. Підхід матиме широке впровадження у практиці діяльності промислових підприємств при підготовці та ухваленні управлінських рішень за сферами застосування: залучення інвестованих коштів, продажу, злиття або ліквідації підприємства. Універсальність цього підходу дозволить контролювати та оцінювати цінність на всіх рівнях управління: операційною, тактичною і стратегічною. Проведення поточного моніторингу на основі постійного моніторингу вартості підприємства дозволить своєчасно виявити й усунути негативні фактори, що впливають на максимізацію результатів діяльності підприємства у вартісному вираженні, що робить розглянутий підхід у дослідженні одним із найпростіших та найефективніших інструментом управління.

Одним із перспективних напрямів розвитку туризму як галузі-мультиплакатору економічного розвитку є рекреаційна діяльність. Рекреація – це комплексне поняття, яке включає багато підвидів туризму, спрямованих на забезпечення оздоровлення та відпочинку туристів. У статті досліджено проблеми розвитку рекреаційного потенціалу з метою підвищення ефективності ведення туристського бізнесу, особливо еко-туризму, для забезпечення фінансової стійкості регіонів, оскільки відомо, що галузь туризму є прибутковою та не потребує великих первинних витрат. Рекреаційний потенціал країни є досить великим, проте його реалізація гальмується через відсутність ефективних державних механізмів реалізації програм рекреаційного розвитку, відсутності умов для залучення зовнішніх та внутрішніх  інвестицій та необхідності розвитку туристської інфраструктури, яка зачасту є морально та фізично зношеною. Одним із видів рекреації є екологічний туризм, який бурхливо розвивається у країнах Європейського Союзу, Сполучених Шататах Америки та інших світових лідерах туристської індустрії. Надане теоретичне визначення поняттю екологічного туризму, який характеризується як вид туризму, що пов'язаний із збереженням та дорученням до природи. У роботі поставлене завдання щодо проведення оцінки потенціалу рекреаційного розвитку туристських дестинацій. У результаті проведеного аналізу розроблено інтегральний критерій для визначення рекреаційного потенціалу регіону та розроблено методику аналізу рівня потенціалу та рівня його використання. На основі запропонованої методики проведено ранжування регіонів України. Отримані результати оцінки та проведений SWOT-аналіз дозволили розробити ряд напрямів щодо активізації розвитку екологічного туризму для забезпечення фінансової стійкості територій України. Отже, у статті запропоновані механізми оцінки та реалізації рекреаційного потенціалу туристських дестинацій із врахуванням специфіки різних регіонів України, визначено перспективи подальшого розвитку рекреаційного туризму, в тому числі еко-туризму, який набирає суттєвої популярності та може забезпечити високі показники прибутковості для галузі та економіки країни в цілому.

Over the past decade, there have been signs of improvement of the Black Sea. However, its unique water areas and coastline are still under serious threat. The Black Sea is unprotected from significant anthropogenic pressures, and has a low adaptive potential. If as the region's economy grows, these pressures will intensify, the problem will become more serious.The implementation of the Directive 2008/56/EC establishing a framework for Community action in the field of environmental policy on the marine environment (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) are important for Ukraine. The use of the marine environment, taking into account the ecosystem approach and the principle of integrated management improves the environment, biodiversity, development of industries marine complex, especially commercial fish and shellfish, recreation and tourism.Directive 2008/56/EC aims to achieve good environmental status of marine waters and to protect the marine resources that affect the economic and social activities. The main stages of the implementation of Directive 2008/56/EC include: 1) adoption of national legislation and designation the authority or authorities competent for the implementation of this Directive; 2) initial assessment of the current  environmental status of marine waters; determine good environmental status for marine waters and establishment environmental targets and associated indicators; establishment of monitoring program for the development of ongoing assessment and regular updating purposes; 3) development programme of measures to achieve good environmental status.Implementation of the MSFD requires more coordinated research, so that studies to evaluate benefits can be carried out across countries using comparable, state-of-the-art valuation methods. This could also include the combination of different valuation methods, e.g. of stated and revealed preference methods, to gain more reliable benefit estimates. Moreover, integrated modelling will be of utmost importance to link bio-geophysical and socio-economic systems and to trace the effects of changes in the marine environment to their impact on benefits.Focus is on methodological questions related to a common understanding of the funding, technical and scientific implications of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. In particular, one of the objectives of the strategy is the development of non-legally binding and practical documents, such as co-financing of MSFD measures.

The agrarian sector of the economy is one of the strategic segments of the national economy, the level of development of which depends on food security of the country, a significant part of state budget revenues, the preservation of the village, etc. For the further development of agrarian sector of the economy, the qualitative system transformations are required, which, as the experience of the most world developed countries shows, should be based exclusively on the innovative and investment potential of the development of integration relations.It is carried out the complex scientifically-based monitoring of investment support for the development of integration relations in the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy. It has been analyzed the attraction of investment resources by integrated economic entities from international financial, credit and banking institutions, as well as export credit agencies during getting the international guarantees for purposes of project financing. It was established that during 1996-2016 years over 16,7 billion dollars US in prices of 2016 were invested in all sources of financing. The structure of attracted investment resources by main groups of financial institutions shows that the largest share in it falls on funds received from bank lending, issuance of Eurobonds and stock exchange activities.There are determined the features of investment mechanisms and the purpose of project financing; it is shown that in general they play a main role in a large investment process, but are only available for large economic entities and transnational corporations.It is confirmed that the lack of an institutional system of state financial support for export in Ukraine significantly reduces the level of competitiveness of domestic agricultural products on international markets. Therefore, in the context of European integration processes, the current problem is reforming the system of support for the export of final technological redistribution products, with simultaneously restriction of foreign trade in raw materials and semi-finished products, which is carried out, in particular, through its internal economic transfer at transfer prices.
THE IMPACT OF CORPORATE REPUTATION ON MARKET VALUE, EMPRICAL EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY
Authors: Özbay D.
Published: March 2019

The high profitability expectation of the past is replaced with the advantage of sustainable competition in today’s business world. The boundaries of companies and their effects on society have expanded dramatically because of globalization and developments in information technologies, which has in turn raised society’s expectations of companies.  For this reason, investors expect the companies to be sensitive to social issues besides having a high financial performance. The issue of corporate reputation has been discussed by many different disciplines through the years. Most of these studies consider corporate reputation as a strategic asset, and claim that it leads to sustainable competition by increasing financial performance. On the other hand, financial performance recognizes as a part of corporate reputation in some other studies. As a result, the concept of corporate reputation has now become essential for business.This study aims to examine whether the corporate reputation has significant effect on market value of companies. In literature, there are many studies about corporate reputation and financial performance relations. Many studies have demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between corporate reputation and financial performance. This has raised the problematic question of how reputation should be measured. Especially in developed countries, reputation indices are common indicators of reputation. But in Turkey, there are limited studies because of inadequacy of long-term database and measurement scales. In this study, corporate reputation is considered as an intangible asset, shaped by the perceptions of all internal and external stakeholders of corporations which can affect corporate value. To measure corporate reputation, a scale which is composed of 58 different criteria and formed by previous scales has been used. The full sample includes 99 listed companies and 1,188 firm years for 2006-2017. Panel data regression analysis has been used to test the relationship between corporate reputation and market value. The results are consistent with the past studies that highly reputable firms have high market value.

In the article it is noted that the trigger for the emergence of financial instability is the accumulation of financial imbalances the spread of which leads to increasing vulnerabilities in the financial system, violation of its stability and reduce the level of financial security. The interrelations between financial imbalances, financial stability, financial instability, financial vulnerability, financial security, financial crisis are outlined. The article is aimed at determining key indicators in assessing the level of existing financial imbalances and developing a set of measures to resolve disequilibrium in the domestic financial system, taking into account European practice. The domestic practice of financial imbalances disclosure was summarized which gave the opportunity to justify the conclusions on ineffectiveness of the methods used in Ukraine, that allow only identify already existing threats in the financial system. The experience of European countries is examined, where the practice of identification of potential signals of financial imbalances is widely used, in particular, to identify imbalances in the economies of the EU the macroeconomic imbalances procedure was approved. The main indicators in assessing the level of existing financial imbalances are determined. Some contradictory aspects of applying macroeconomic imbalances procedures within the EU are identified. It is noted that the necessity of providing financial stability is a priority task of the economic policy of each state, because a stable financial system has the ability to restrict and eliminate disparities through self-regulation mechanisms before they lead to a crisis. Priority directions of development of the state system of financial imbalances regulation in Ukraine are proposed: legislative provision of comprehensive and systematic monitoring of financial imbalances; preparing the necessary array of statistical information; delegating the authority of evaluating financial imbalances and developing measures for their regulation by a unit of the government institution.

Published: March 2019

It is noted that the unprecedented dynamic globalization of trade and economic relations and the fourth industrial revolution cardinally transform the global distribution system of the world economy, accompanied by the growing impact of global challenges and risks, the failure to take into account the effects of which permanently reduces the efficiency of economic functioning and international trade. For developing countries affected by geopolitical challenges, the development of partnerships with countries that are recognized as global leaders in the world economy is essential in terms of national interests and the promotion of state sovereignty.The purpose of this paper is to characterize the impact of global risks on the formation and implementation of trade and economic policies of countries based on the methodological approaches of leading international economic institutions and organizations. Major global risks have identified rising / falling prices for assets, oil or gas, changes in the structure of trade and economic cooperation, terrorism, separatism, climate change, unemployment, income inequality, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cyberattacks, etc.The following methods of scientific research were used to achieve the goal and to solve the tasks of the article: systematic structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, method of quantitative and qualitative comparisons, tabular method of calculating the degree of influence.The scientific novelty of the results is to study the processes of formation and implementation of trade and economic policies of countries under the influence of exogenous factors on them. The influence of exogenous factors is characterized not only according to the sectoral classification (economic, geopolitical, technological, social and natural), but also taking into account the degree of influence of the factor (global challenges and global risks) on the environment.It is substantiated that in the conditions of globalization of the world economy, the threats receive a corresponding more serious nature. Therefore, government agencies need to develop new effective tools for their minimization in order to prevent negative effects and to implement more productive trade and economic cooperation with partner countries.
EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY BY EMPLOYEES’ PARTICIPATION IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF ENTERPRISE PROFIT

Published: March 2019

It is considered the relationship between the efficiency of productivity and the participation of employees in the distribution of enterprise profits in the article. It is substantiated that employees’ participation in the distribution of net employer's income should be an integral part of the organization of personnel management processes. The income distribution for salary payment and the provision of social and welfare needs of workers creates conditions for preservation and restoration of their physical and mental health, increasing the duration of their life, and, accordingly, prolong their working life. Payment of labor, formed from part of the company's profit, will also stimulate the labor activity of the employee, increase his aspirations for labor productivity and production efficiency, which in its turn, is a direct interest of the owner of the means of production. It is proved that the construction of the domestic system of labor payment is necessary through: a) the participation of employees in the distribution of enterprise profits; b) strengthening the discipline of labor through the financial and immaterial incentives of the employee. The work defends the viewpoint that the participation of the labor collective in the distribution of profits of the employer should be subject to the requirement of strict adherence to labor discipline in the collective. Effectiveness of stimulating labor potential of employees should be formed on the basis of labor standards, using incentives to increase employee interest in achieving high employer performance, strengthening labor discipline and good attitude towards work. Rationing labor in this process is a key condition, because if the rules of labor are overrated, it will be impossible to increase labour results. In case of lack of labor standards, stimulation loses its predictive character, because it is unclear how to estimate the labor productivity (the norm is above the norm). In this case, the all incentive system will be reduced to a subjective solution of the issues by the employer, which in itself reduces the participation of the labor collective in the distribution of enterprise profits and the definition of specific socio-economic incentives for members of the labor collective.

The successful transition of transformation processes in Ukraine under the conditions of European integration is possible only with the intensification of the competitive advantages of the country, the main of which is human intellectual capital. Unfortunately, current data on migration processes show an active outflow of intellectual capital from Ukraine. In such conditions, there is a need to find additional tools for influencing migration processes to reduce the outflow of intellectual capital from Ukraine. One of such tools is social marketing. The significance of social marketing for transformational processes is determined by its focus on promoting new ideas in society, effective influence on selected target groups and changing their behavior in order to get benefits not only for individuals but also for the society, taking into account its needs in the conditions of limited resources. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the areas of improvement of the transformation processes in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration, based on the use of social marketing tools. The article analyzes the theoretical approaches to the definition of the essence of transformation, examines the position of Ukraine in world ratings, reflecting the effectiveness of the transformation processes in different countries. The approaches to the definition of the essence of social marketing and its importance for the transformational processes in society are substantiated. The possible outcomes for society as a result of changes in behavior and the choice of Ukrainian youth in favor of study and work in Ukraine instead of emigration abroad are considered. The peculiarities of the 4P model in social marketing are presented in order to preserve intellectual capital in Ukraine. The directions of application of social marketing tools for improvement of transformation processes in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration are substantiated.

Сільське господарство кожної країни функціонує в умовах як внутрішньої конкуренції, так і зовнішніх викликів. Ця теза повною мірою стосується й аграрного сектору України. В умовах глобалізаційних викликів підприємства сільського господарства прагнуть забезпечити якомога вищі результати функціонування. При цьому не завжди враховуються потреби внутрішніх стейкхолдерів, а гонитва за прибутками — знижує рівень продовольчої безпеки країни. Сільське господарство й процеси глобалізації тісно корелюють між собою, свідченням чого є діяльність СОТ щодо квотування обсягів поставок продукції сільського господарства на ринок країн — членів організації. Окремої уваги заслуговують транснаціональні корпорації, діяльність яких підтримуються уряди країн їхнього походження, що не завжди приносить позитивні результати країнам-реципієнтам. Тому важливо дослідити розвиток сільського господарства України в умовах глобалізації та визначити вплив на внутрішніх стейкхолдерів. Продовольчі інтереси населення України враховуються при дослідженні багатьма вченими. Посилення інтеграційних процесів у вітчизняній економіці в умовах глобалізаційних процесів опрацьовані в роботах V. Tanzi, Г. Алояна, О. Білоруса, К. Гудими та ін. За таких умов важливим є дослідження та обґрунтування впливу функціонування вітчизняних (агрохолдингів) та іноземних (ТНК) великих корпоративних аграрних формувань на розвиток вітчизняного сільського господарства. Суперечливість розвитку процесів глобалізації з національними інтересами у сфері сільського господарства супроводжується зниженням урахування продовольчих інтересів населення України, що й потребує додаткового дослідження. Мета дослідження полягає у визначеності впливу процесів інтеграції та глобалізації на розвиток вітчизняного аграрного сектору та врахування продовольчих інтересів населення України. Розкрито зміст дефініції «глобалізація» з економічного погляду. Доведено негативний вплив великих вітчизняних та зарубіжних аграрних холдингів на вітчизняний ринок продовольства та стан земельних ресурсів в Україні. Вказані компанії займаються вирощуванням монокультур, не враховуючи потреби населення країни, де зосереджена їхня діяльність. Отже, вітчизняні та іноземні агрохолдинги можуть завдавати збитків продовольчим інтересам громадян країн шляхом: 1) надмірного продовольчого експорту; 2) надмірного продовольчого імпорту; 3) неконтрольованого використання агрохімічних засобів; 4) тиску на державну адміністрацію з метою просування на внутрішній ринок так званого «сірого імпорту»; 5) тиску на державну адміністрацію з метою просування на внутрішній ринок ГМО-продукції; 6) картельних змов на внутрішньому продовольчому ринку.
Kinetic Studies of Chain-Transfer Reactions in Polymerization of Hexene-1 over Highly Active Supported Titanium-Magnesium Catalysts

Published: March 2019

The influence of concentrations of the monomer, triethylaluminum, and hydrogen on the molecular mass of polyhexene obtained by polymerization of hexene-1 over a supported titanium-magnesium catalyst was studied. Ratios of rate constants of the transfer of polymer chain with the monomer, triethylaluminum (AlEt3) and hydrogen to the rate constant of the chain-growth were calculated.

The data obtained allowed the contribution of individual reactions of chain transfer to molecular mass of the polymer to be estimated at various polymerization conditions and the polymerization conditions to be chosen deliberately in order to synthesize polyhexene with the required molecular mass. The discovered inhomogeneity of the centers active to the chain transfer with hydrogen in the presence of the AlEt3 co-catalyst caused changes in the polymer polydispersion upon changes in the hydrogen concentration in the reaction medium. Curves of the polyhexene molecular mass distribution in polyhexene samples with different polydispersion were analyzed using their resolution into Flory components.

Cu- and Fe-containing catalysts were studied in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FA). The catalysts were prepared by fusing the metal nitrates and reduced in situ at 250 °C in the reactor before the reaction. A batch reactor was used for the process at 150 °C and 6.0 MPa of hydrogen. The highest activity was shown to be characteristic of the Cu20Fe66Al14catalyst that provided 96 % conversion of furfural and 97 mol.% selectivity to FA. In the flow system, the furfural conversion reached 100 % and the selectivity to FA up to 95 mol.% at 160 °C and 5 MPa of hydrogen. The developed catalyst remained highly active during its continuous operation for 30 hours. The observed high activity was accounted for by the presence of stabilized disperse copper particles in the copper-iron containing catalyst.

Introduction: Health-promoting behaviors and healthy behaviors are the healing factors for the promotion of health in pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to determine the health promotion behaviors in pregnant women referring to the comprehensive health centers in Bushehr (the capital city of Bushehr Province, Iran) in 2016.
Methods: In this descriptive study, 385 pregnant women referring to the comprehensive health centers were selected by convenience sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire consisting of two parts: the first part was related to demographic questions and the second part of the questionnaire was related to health promotion behaviors (Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II) HPLP II which includes 52 questions. After confirming the validity and reliability of the tool, the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson correlation, and one-way ANOVA.
Results: The mean score of health promotion behaviors was desirable. Also, among dimensions of health promotion behaviors, the area of health accountability with the mean and standard deviation of (38.25 ± 5.78) had the highest score, and the range of physical activity with the mean and standard deviation of (16.24 ± 5.47) had the lowest score. The age (being under 25 years old) and collegiate education level, among the demographic variables, had a significant relationship with health-promoting behaviors (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The result of the study indicated a moderate level of health promotion behaviors in women participating in the present study. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the areas of physical activity, stress management, and social relationships.

Introduction: Recent experiences with disasters have shown that given that Iran is a natural disaster-waiting country, warnings must be taken seriously and people in different groups should have necessary preparations to deal with the hazards. The readiness of the relief agencies as one of the first responding organizations involved in crises as well as the readiness of their families as an effective parameter in the response of the relief agencies should be given special attention. The purpose of this study was to determine the state of readiness for hazard among staff of the Red Crescent Society of Khorasan Razavi
Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in 2018. The study population consist of all personnel of the Red Crescent Society of Khorasan Razavi province (n: 146). Sampling was done by census. The level of preparedness was assessed and evaluated by the indicators determined by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education for assessment of the level of household readiness (HDPI) using descriptive statistics.
Results: The results showed that the lowest readiness index (2.75) was observed among the staff of the Relief and Rescue Deputy. The most qualified staff of the Society can be found in the Education Deputy who attained the highest score (5.25) on the index.
Conclusion: Although relief staff are expected to be present at crises immediately and conveniently, the low score in this index, that is, the lack of readiness of staff’s families, was very effective on staff performance and could even reduce their attending the department at crisis.Therefore, special attention should be paid to promoting their readiness Keywords: Readiness, Red Crescent Society, Dangers.

Published: March 2019

The involvement of parents in education within the past decade has been found to positively influence students’ performance. However, the relationships among variables involved are not well understood yet. This present study was conducted out to find the correlation between the extent of parents’ involvement in their children’s education and their level of satisfaction with students’ proficiency in English as a second language. Data were gathered with questionnaires. This study showed that when parents of ESL students are ‘often involved’ in their children’s education, they are likely to be ‘moderately satisfied’ with their children’s proficiency in English as a second language. For schools teaching ESL to improve students’ proficiency in English, one way to accomplish that is to ensure that parents are at least moderately involved in their children’s education.
