Institutionalism: on the rise or declining?
Authors: Suharev Oleg
Published: December 2021

The article examines the state of the modern institutional direction of analysis in economic science. The aim is to identify the main methodological problems of this trend of thought from the point of view of the formation of such a scientific direction as "institutional macroeconomics". The method of comparative review analysis of the most advanced sources that laid the basis for the methodology and implements it in institutional research shows the fundamental reasons for the limited possibilities of institutionalism in the formation of the transmission mechanism of economic policy. In this regard, the large volume of scientific research of the institutional school, reflecting, among other things, the scientific fashion and the need to take into account institutions as factors of development, nevertheless, does not speak in favor of the flourishing and significant success of this line of analysis; at the very least, there are inherent difficulties in the development of this trend in economics. The main directions of research of the institutional school associated with overcoming methodological limitations, in particular, the expansion of ideas about institutional efficiency, which cannot be reduced solely to saving on transaction costs, have been identified. Methodological disputes, enthusiasm for holism and rhetoric in relation to the necessary consistency, on the contrary, lead institutionalism away from solving even those methodological problems that lend themselves to solution. The article shows the key positions on the development of institutional macroeconomics, including through the concept of institutional inflation, reduced to the contribution of institutions to price dynamics. The high level of institutional diversity and institutional complexity make it very difficult to truly assess this contribution. At the same time, denying the influence of institutions on prices, especially in connection with the inherent inaccuracies of the model approach, also becomes an unreasonable technique, as well as criticizing model options that demonstrate the directions of scientific research on this issue. A condition is obtained that connects the change in the costs of functioning of institutions with the function that determines the dynamics of prices for the greatest effect of the functioning of the institutional system, determined by the difference between the total benefits and costs.
The Spread of Lutherance in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Its Influence on the Education Development and Music Culture
Authors: Pidhorbunskyi Mykola
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to determine the influence of Lutheranism on education and musical culture in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The research methodology includes cultural and historical analysis, which made it possible to analyze and investigate the influence of Lutheranism on musical culture in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Source studies and music-theoretical methods were used during the search and analysis of church-singing collections. The biographical method of research was used to systematize information about the life and work of theologians, composers and theorists. The scientific novelty of the research is the thorough analysis of the Lutheranism influence on education, book publishing and musical art. The first church chanting collections have been identified, in which a gradual transition from monody to polyphony is traced. Conclusions. In the process of studying the influence of Lutheranism on education and musical culture in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was established that one of the main ways of introducing Protestant ideas was the education of gentry and bourgeois Ukrainian youth in Western European Lutheran universities. The competition between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant schools that existed in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania contributed to the development of education in the country. In the 16th century, Vilno was a printing centre of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, where printers competed with each other, publishing books in different languages and with opposite religious positions. During this period, thanks to the Lithuanian Protestants, church chanting collections were published. The chants in the first collections combined the stylistic tendencies of Protestant chorales, Czech reformers, and the traditions of local craftsmen.
Рейтинг університету як інструмент оцінювання якості освіти
Authors: Поплавський Михайло
Published: December 2021

Мета статті полягає в комплексному аналізі методології рейтингування провідних міжнародних та європейських рейтингів університетів. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні методів абстрагування, аналізу й синтезу, що дало змогу теоретично осмислити явище рейтингування університетів світу. Наукова новизна одержаних результатів полягає в розробці пропозицій з удосконалення міжнародних рейтингів університетів.

На підставі аналізу показників, індикаторів і вагових коефіцієнтів найбільш впливових міжнародних рейтингів університетів світу (ARWU, THE, QS World University Rankings, Webometrics, PRSP, CWTS Leiden Ranking, SCImago Institutions Rankings, U-Multirank) констатовано, що склад їх показників варіюється в межах відносно невеликої кількості ключових ознак, вибір яких пов’язаний із мірою доступності даних для аналізу та суб’єктивною позицією розробників щодо першорядних характеристик університету. Зроблено висновок, що рейтингові показники не враховують специфіку організації освітнього, наукового та інноваційного процесів в університеті.

У методологіях рейтингування відсутні індикатори, що характеризували б процесс навчання, якість викладання, успішність студентів, міру сформованості їх вміння вчитися та самостійно здобувати нове знання, якщо йдеться про міжнародні рейтинги, і готовність випускників до професійної діяльності в конкретному соціальному контексті конкретної країни, якщо йдеться про національні рейтинги. Наголошено, що маркетинговий механізм оцінювання університетів повинен бути доповнений гуманістичним, який передбачає розуміння процесу навчання як взаємодію студента, викладача й оточуючого середовища. При розробці рейтингів варто чітко визначитися з набором показників для різних за профілем підготовки університетів, обґрунтувати індикатори, їх вагові коефіцієнти та методи підрахунку інтегрального показника.
Події на Сході України крізь призму дослідження британського журналіста
Authors: Бендер Юрій
Published: December 2021

Українськомовний варіант цієї статті став вислідом захищеної в Кембриджському університеті (Велика Британія) дисертації на ступінь магістра міжнародних відносин британським журналістом українського походження Юрієм Бендером. Дисертація виконувалася під керівництвом доктора Рорі Фінніна – доцента катедри українознавства Кембриджського університету.

Автор досліджує події на Сході України, що призвели до відокремлення так званих Донецької Народної Республіки та Луганської Народної Республіки та їхні подальші спроби функціонувати як окремі автономні регіони.

Дослідження це зроблене не стільки на основі аналізу значного масиву наукової літератури, що з’явилася у світ на Заході за останні роки, а передусім за результатами власних кількох поїздок автора на східні терени України до й після початку російсько-української війни.

Неможливість відвідати самопроголошені державні об’єкти, так звані ДНР і ЛНР, унеможливила проведення бесід у контрольованих неурядовими організаціями районах, за винятком телефонних розмов. Однак автор провів понад 40 напівструктурованих інтерв’ю з елітарними представниками, а також представниками широкої української громадськості. Особливий акцент був спрямований на «надання голосу» простим українцям, які позбавлені права голосу політичною та медіасистемою, у яких панують та домінують олігархічні інтереси. Ці голоси, деякі представлені в цій статті, матимуть вирішальне значення для визначення майбутнього України, так як вони сформували недавню й довгострокову історію.

Дослідження базується на вивченні впливу економіки та ідентичності населення, підкріплених зовнішньою політикою Москви в країнах «ближнього зарубіжжя». Ключові економічні чинники тимчасового відокремлення «автономних регіонів» відбувалися на тлі зміни ідентичності та елітарної поведінки. Вивчення цих питань є життєво важливим для визначення того, чи мають «республіки» довгострокове автономне майбутнє.

Події на Донбасі розглядається через теоретичні призми, включаючи «Дике поле» історика Гіроакі Куромії, оскаржуване олігархами, злочинними угрупуваннями і політичними кланами; та євроазіатський «Хартленд» географа Халфорда Макіндера, що історично боровся та відстоював східні та західні держави.

Спираючись на власні інтерв’ю, проведені під час неодноразових поїздок до України, автор прагне зробити свій внесок у дискусію щодо майбутньої траєкторії проблемних східних прикордонних територій України та пролити світло на їхнє недавнє минуле.

Authors: Synakh Andrii , Svitailo Nina , Boyko Olga , Povalii Tatiana , Podolkova Svitlana
Published: December 2021

Introduction. “Visual turn” in art has determined the specifics of the civilized development of modern society. Information technology and virtual nature of the visual space development have influenced not only the language of communication but in general the entire system of social management. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the influence of modern visual art on our everyday life, opportunities for self-expression, communication, and social management. Methodological basis of the study is presented by historical, axiological, comparative, system and structural, formal and logical methods. Results. The article considers the modern reading of the visual image, its demand in modern culture, the reasons, and backgrounds of the “visual turn” in art, which has led to the diffusion of high and low in art, synthesis of creativity, and everyday life. The influence of communication virtualization, urbanization of the society and massification of culture on the formation of the individual's visual space and picture of the world are proved. Conclusions. Both positive and negative aspects of such social and cultural transformation in the process of contemporary art visualization are substantiated. The article proves that visualization of art through advertising, fashion, performance, industrial design is becoming the most important factor in social management and determination of consumers', social and cultural, ideological matrix of individual behavior. Under conditions of this hypertrophied visual component of everyday life, constructing and modeling of the newest methods of visual literacy and culture formation are justified.
Egypt: Encourage journalists to cover reproductive health
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

To raise public awareness of reproductive health (RH) issues, the Population Council’s Frontiers project and the Futures Group’s Policy project jointly organized four press briefings and provided background materials to key journalists from Arabic newspapers and magazines. From May 1999 to June 2000, project staff worked closely with 20 Egyptian journalists, including editors of women’s pages and senior editors. The press briefings covered youth, marriage patterns, contraceptive technology, and menopause. The press kit prepared for each briefing contained fact sheets, reference materials, a contact list of key experts, and an evaluation sheet. To assess RH reporting and track coverage resulting from the intervention, project staff monitored eight major Arabic newspapers and nine magazines daily. All articles on RH were coded according to their topic, length, and use of research findings. As noted in this brief, after Egyptian print journalists attended briefings on RH issues, their reporting of these issues improved. Health agencies can improve coverage of RH issues by providing a regular flow of accurate information to a broad range of journalists.
Spectral and numerical analysis for a thermoelastic problem with double porosity and second sound
Authors: Aouadi Moncef , Mahfoudhi Imed , Moulahi Taoufik
Published: December 2021

We study some spectral and numerical properties of the solutions to a thermoelastic problem with double porosity. The model includes Cattaneo-type evolution law for the heat flux to remove the physical paradox of infinite propagation speed of the classical Fourier’s law. Firstly, we prove that the operator determined by the considered problem has compact resolvent and generates a [Formula: see text]-semigroup in an appropriate Hilbert space. We also show that there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions of the linear operator that forms a Riesz basis. By a detailed spectral analysis, we obtain the expressions of the spectrum and we deduce that the spectrum determined growth condition holds. Therefore we prove that the energy of the considered problem decays exponentially to a rate determined explicitly by the physical parameters. Finally, some numerical simulations based on Chebyshev spectral method for spatial discretization are given to confirm the exponential stability result and to show the distribution of the eigenvalues and the variables of the problem.

Published: December 2021

Background: The effect of weight modification on future dementia risk is currently a subject of debate and may be modified by age. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) status with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (a preclinical stage of dementia) in middle-aged and older adults residing in six low- and middle-income countries using nationally representative data. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) were analyzed. MCI was defined using the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association criteria. BMI (kg/m2) was based on measured weight and height and categorized as: underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25.0–29.9), and obese (≥30.0). Multivariable logistic regression analysis and meta-analysis were conducted to assess associations. Results: Data on 32,715 individuals aged ≥50 years with preservation in functional abilities were analyzed [mean (SD) age 62.1 (15.6) years; 51.7% females]. Among those aged 50–64 years, compared to normal weight, underweight (OR = 1.44; 95% CI = 1.14–1.81), overweight (OR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.002–1.37), and obesity (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.09–1.94) were all significantly associated with higher odds for MCI. In those aged ≥65 years, underweight (OR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.54–0.95) and overweight (OR = 0.72; 95% CI = 0.55–0.94) were associated with significantly lower odds for MCI, while obesity was not significantly associated with MCI. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the association between BMI and MCI is likely moderated by age. Future longitudinal studies are required to confirm or refute the present findings before recommendations for policy and practice can be made.
On neutro-Hv-semigroups
Authors: Mirvakili Saeed , Smarandache Florentin , Rezaei Akbar
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we extend the notion of Hv-semigroups to neutro-Hv-semigroups and anti-Hv-semigroups and investigate many of their properties. We show that these new concepts are different from the classical concept of Hv-semigroups by presenting several examples. In general, the neutro-algebras and anti-algebras are generalizations and alternatives of classical algebras. The goal and benefits of our proposed extension of this study is to explore not only the hyperoperations and axioms that are totally true as in previous algebraic hyperstructures, but also the cases when they have degrees of truth, indeterminacy and falsehood. Therefore, we enlarge the field of research.
Housing affordability evaluation based on the third-generation prospect theory and the improved VIKOR method
Authors: Wu Guancen , Li Chen , Niu Xing
Published: December 2021

Housing affordability is an important issue and can be measured by an increasing number of indicators. Different urban settings may lead to different housing affordability criteria. This study incorporates the third-generation prospect theory and improved VIKOR method to construct a novel, comprehensive evaluation model for assessing housing affordability. The housing price to income and rent to income ratios were chosen as evaluation indicators, and the yearly median value of each indicator was taken as a dynamic reference point. The housing affordability indicators’ realistic prospect value matrix for large- and medium-sized Chinese cities were obtained for the study period’s duration. The comprehensive housing affordability prospect values were ranked using the improved VIKOR with entropy weight method. The novel proposed approach’s rationality and effectiveness were examined by comparing the original and prospect values, performing sensitivity analysis on the prospect value parameters, contrasting the ordinary and improved VIKOR methods, and comparing the proposed approach with the TOPSIS method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can consider the decision maker’s psychological factors, endow housing affordability evaluation criteria with dynamic characteristics, overcome the problem of order reversal, and ensure the optimal compromise solution. Therefore, the proposed approach is suitable for housing affordability evaluation.
Forecasting public bicycle rental demand using an optimized eXtreme Gradient Boosting model
Authors: Hu Yuanjiao , Sun Zhaoyun , Li Wei , Pei Lili
Published: December 2021

The rational distribution of public bicycle rental fleets is crucial for improving the efficiency of public bicycle programs. The accurate prediction of the demand for public bicycles is critical to improve bicycle utilization. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional algorithms such as low prediction accuracy and poor stability, using the 2011–2012 hourly bicycle rental data provided by the Washington City Bicycle Rental System, this study aims to develop an optimized and innovative public bicycle demand forecasting model based on grid search and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. First, the feature ranking method based on machine learning models is used to analyze feature importance on the original data. In addition, a public bicycle demand forecast model is established based on important factors affecting bicycle utilization. Finally, to predict bicycle demand accurately, this study optimizes the model parameters through a grid search (GS) algorithm and builds a new prediction model based on the optimal parameters. The results show that the optimized XGBoost model based on the grid search algorithm can predict the bicycle demand more accurately than other models. The optimized model has an R-Squared of 0.947, and a root mean squared logarithmic error of 0.495. The results can be used for the effective management and reasonable dispatch of public bicycles.

Background: Glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) mutations influence risk and prognosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), possibly through accumulation of glycosphingolipids, including glucosylceramide (GL-1). Venglustat is a novel, brain penetrant glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor. Objective: Evaluate venglustat pharmacology, safety, and tolerability in patients with PD and GBA mutations (GBA-PD). Methods: Part 1 of the phase 2 MOVES-PD trial (NCT02906020) was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study performed in six countries. Eligible participants included Japanese and non-Japanese patients aged 18–80 years with PD diagnosis and heterozygous GBA mutation. Participants were randomized to three doses of once-daily oral venglustat or placebo and were followed up to 36 weeks (Japanese participants: 52 weeks). Primary endpoint was venglustat safety and tolerability versus placebo. Secondary and exploratory endpoints included venglustat pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Results: Participants (N = 29) received venglustat (Japanese, n = 9; non-Japanese, n = 13) or placebo (n = 3; n = 4). Eight (89%) Japanese and 12 (92%) non-Japanese venglustat-treated participants experienced at least one adverse event (AE) versus two (67%) and four (100%) participants from the respective placebo groups. Most AEs were mild or moderate; no serious AEs or deaths occurred. Two venglustat-treated non-Japanese participants discontinued due to AEs (confusional state and panic attack). Over 4 weeks, venglustat exposure in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) increased, and GL-1 levels in plasma and CSF decreased, both in a dose-dependent manner. At the highest dose, CSF GL-1 decreased by 72.0% in Japanese and 74.3% in non-Japanese participants. Conclusion: Venglustat showed favorable safety and tolerability in MOVES-PD Part 1 and target engagement was achieved in CSF.

Authors: Valente Antonia Regiane Pereira Duarte , Valente Gilvandro Ubiracy , Santos Larissa Tayná Miranda dos , Silva Raissa Carolina Silva e , Silva Carla Sousa da , Santos Kerolaine Alexsandra Soares dos , Santos Luan Gomes dos
Published: December 2021

A região do Baixo Amazonas encontra-se localizada estado do Pará, composta por 14 municípios, os quais estão distribuídos em uma extensão territorial de 315 mil km², correspondendo cerca de 9% da população do referido estado. Considerando que, a referida região possui um quantitativo populacional relevante e, que o câncer tem um histórico epidemiológico de alta incidência mundial, questionou-se: como o câncer gastrointestinal apresenta-se na região do Baixo Amazonas? Trata-se de um estudo com abordagem quantitativa com técnica analítica e descritiva. Tendo como objetivo conhecer a incidência do câncer gastrointestinal no Baixo Amazonas. O mesmo, ocorreu no período de janeiro de 2017 a de junho de 2020. A coleta de dados deu-se a partir dos prontuários dos usuários e arquivos digital disponibilizados por um consultório particular no interior da Amazônia brasileira. Neste cenário, constatou-se que o câncer gastrointestinal se mostra mais prevalente entre os pacientes do sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 61 a 80 anos. Evidencia-se ainda que o segmento mais acometido foi o estômago e o método de elucidação diagnóstica mais utilizado foi a endoscopia digestiva alta e a colonoscopia. Destarte, conclui-se que o câncer é um evento presente e crescente no baixo amazonas, o que pode ser caracterizado como uma situação preocupante para gestores e profissionais de saúde, visto que a assistência relacionada a esse evento é considerada desafiadora e onerosa aos cofres públicos. Assim, sugere-se que novas pesquisas nesse sentido sejam realizadas, buscando por evidências relacionadas ao atendimento nos serviços públicos, uma vez que tais serviços disponibilizam atendimento para todas as classes sociais.
СУЧАСНІ ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ ТА АКТУАЛЬНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ РЕГУЛЯТОРНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ У СФЕРІ ГОСПОДАРСЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Возна Юлія
Published: December 2021

Статтю присвячено аналізу сучасних тенденцій та визначальних проблем реалізації державної регуляторної політики у сфері господарської діяльності України. Метою статті є аналіз сучасних тенденцій та визначальних проблем реалізації державної регуляторної політики у сфері господарської діяльності України. Здійснено спробу проаналізувати сучасний стан державного регуляторної політики за допомогою оцінки глобального показника регуляторної діяльності, розробленого Світовим банком, та звітності Державної регуляторної служби України. Для підвищення ефективності регуляторної політики важливо переглянути роль регулюючих органів та їхні повноваження. Нормативне управління дає практичний ефект регуляторній політиці. Ефективне регулювальне управління максимально збільшує вплив регуляторної політики на створення нормативних актів, які матимуть позитивний вплив на економіку та суспільство та які відповідають основним цілям державної політики. Автором систематизовано базові проблеми державної регуляторної політики у сфері господарської діяльності, до яких віднесено: недотримання вимог законодавства та порушення встановлених норм, складний процес розгляду регуляторних актів, порушення принципу прозорості та передбачуваності, неузгодженість інформації стосовно планування та виконання проєктів. Наголошено, що Україна знаходиться на етапі реформування, а тому державна регуляторна політика також змінюється, однак існуючі проблеми потребують негайного вирішення. Подальший соціально-економічний розвиток України та пов’язані із цим реформи передбачають, що першочерговим завданням державного регулювання повинно бути створення та функціонування інституційного середовища національної економіки. Важливим напрямом забезпечення якості інституційної системи, сприятливого середовища для підприємництва та поліпшення ділового клімату в Україні є підвищення ефективності дерегуляції. Авторка вважає за доцільне вибрати проблематику підвищення ефективності дерегуляції як один із напрямів подальших досліджень.

1980 TARİHLİ ULUSLARARASI ÇOCUK KAÇIRMANIN HUKUKİ YÖNLERİNE DAİR LAHEY SÖZLEŞMESİ’NDE ÇOCUĞUN İADESI TALEBİNİN REDDİ NEDENLERİ VE KONUYA İLİŞKİN ANAYASA MAHKEMESİ İÇTİHADI

Bu çalışma, Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin bireysel başvuru kararları kapsamında çocuğun mutat meskenine iadesi davalarına etki eden hususları incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, 1980 Tarihli Uluslararası Çocuk Kaçırmanın Hukuki Veçhelerine Dair La Haye Sözleşmesi’nin konuya ilişkin hükümleri çerçevesinde Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin verdiği kararları değerlendirmekte, mahkemenin kararlarını çocuğun yüksek menfaati kriteri ekseninde ne şekilde tasarladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Mahkemeye göre, çocuğun yüksek menfaatini etkileyen iki temel durum, çocuğun fiziksel veya psikolojik saldırı mağduru olma olasılığının bulunup bulunmadığıdır. Çocuğa yönelik tehdit yüksek ise iade taleplerinin reddedilmesi, aile hayatına saygı gösterilmesini isteme hakkını ihlal etmemektedir. Buna karşın bu tür yargılamalar süratle sonuçlandırılmalı, verilen kararlar icra edilebilir olmalıdır. Aksi halde hem AİHM hem de AYM ilgili hakkın ihlal edildiği sonucuna varmaktadır. Fakat çalışma, AYM’nin bizzat kendisinin yargılamanın süresine ilişkin içtihadına uymadığını iddia etmektedir.
