ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF BUCKWHEAT, PANICUM AND RICE GROWING AND PRODUCTION IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND UKRAINE
Authors: Averchev Oleksander , Fesenko Hanna
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the article is to study the analysis of economic aspects of buckwheat, Panicum and rice growing and production in Central and Eastern Europe and Ukraine (2016, 2017, 2018). The subject of the study is the market of large crops in Central and Eastern Europe and Ukraine. The study is based on the analysis of statistics of production of buckwheat, rice and Panicum for 2016-2018. It was established that in the current and the previous grain seasons buckwheat was in the list of objects of state regulation that set minimum and maximum intervention prices, which gave grounds to the Agrarian Fund of Ukraine to carry out financial or commodity interventions in case of unfavorable price situation on the market. It is proved that Ukraine has everything that is needed for developing its own rice industry. The favorable natural and climatic conditions of southern Ukraine, the availability of engineered rice irrigation systems, the close cooperation and friendship of the Rice Institute with commodity producer, varieties of domestic breeding, environmentally safe cultivation technology make it possible to obtain high yields. So meteorological and hydrological conditions therefore play an important role in levels of crop production but they also have a knock-on effect on prices through the causal effect of supply and demand. This is true for the EU, as it is across the globe. Of course, with the European Union covering such a large area and including such diverse climates, adverse weather conditions in one region are often offset by optimum conditions in another. However, where the production of certain crops is concentrated in a few regions, the EU production levels will be particularly susceptible to weather conditions as well as to pest attacks. Where known adverse weather conditions have impacted on crop levels this is mentioned. Cereal harvest in the EU higher in 2017 despite drought conditions in many areas of Central and Southern Europe and reduction in cultivated area. Monsoon countries, which due to weather conditions harvest twice a year, do not have much higher and sometimes even lower rice yields than Ukraine does. It is set that despite the difficult weather conditions, the grain industry provides sustainable production, which guarantees the food and economic security of the country. Cereal crops are the basis for the formation and maintenance of the state's strategic food, feed and export balance.

Published: February 2020

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the current legislation on medical reform in the context of harmonization with international standards. In the conditions of social state building in Ukraine, the thesis is axiomatic regarding that the state should show concern for their citizens, including for the protection of their health. In this context, it is relevant to study the implementation of medical reform in Ukraine, since its content and the degree to which the proclaimed provisions are enforced depend on the ability of each person to access quality health care. Methodology. The article is based on international legal acts, laws and by-laws of Ukraine in the field of legal regulation of medical care. Both general scientific and special methodology were used for the research. Methods of analysis and synthesis, method of description, method of induction, method of deduction, method of correlation, etc. were applied. Results. The article defines the directions for harmonization of the legislation of Ukraine on health protection in accordance with international standards. Based on the ECHR practice, proposals have been formulated to improve the legislation of Ukraine. Conclusions. The ECHR has repeatedly concluded that the right to health is complex and includes: the right to information about one's health and the confidentiality of such information; the right to health care; the right to choose the doctor and the remedies freely; the right to a safe environment that affects health and so on. The state does not cover all aspects of providing medical care to citizens, but resorts to limited funding, since the state budget funds are only one of the types of sources of financing. Practical implications. We have formulated the following tasks: to analyze Ukraine's international legal obligations regarding health care; to identify major changes in health care financing and health care delivery in line with health care reform standards in Ukraine; to identify major health care funding issues.

Published: February 2020

The aim of the article is to illuminate the modern paradigm of the globalization economic environment, which shows the gradual end of the decade of “crisis-free” growth of the world economy and, accordingly, the nearing to the next global economic crisis; to cover the importance of attracting investment and implementing a specific national industrial policy as one of the key factors of development; to outline the problems of prevention, forecasting and analysis of risks arising in the investment sphere in the context of providing conditions for sustainable development of the Ukrainian economy. The subject of the study is: the monitoring of investment sector indicators that determine the potential of economic development and provide an analytical assessment of the risks posed in the investment sphere in the context of ensuring the conditions of sustainable development of the Ukrainian economy. Methodology. The article uses the complex approach with the application of methods of simulation and econometric modeling for analytical estimation of gross fixed capital formation as a key investment indicator in the current economic conditions of Ukraine. Results. The conducted study clearly demonstrates not only the presence but also the obvious deepening of the imbalance between the current state of attracting foreign investments and actual needs in technological and physical renewal of the production sphere. The consequence is a real threat of loss of potential for economic development. Some measures have been identified to improve the investment climate, and the key ones are the provision of state support for reforming the Ukrainian economy in terms of improving the investment climate and stimulating the innovative potential of entrepreneurial activity. The practical implications of this study are to identify the lack of innovation strategy, which deepens Ukraine’s technological backwardness compared to developed countries in general, and the EU countries, in particular, and keeps the inefficient and destructive natural-production base of Ukrainian economy. Value/originality. This research was carried out within the framework of the implementation of a scientific paper of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Economics of National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (No. 0112U007817) on the topic: “Globalization of industrial capacity formation trends in the terms of post-industrial transformation”.

Published: February 2020

Introduction. Features of international marketing are determined by the specific environment in which it is implemented. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the attitude of the national government to foreign economic activity. It can create favorable conditions for carrying out foreign economic activities. Conversely, the government may be uninterested in the entry of its individual firms into the foreign market, and may create all sorts of obstacles along the way. Marketing in general and international marketing today is characterized by the rapid aging of ideas and concepts caused by the changing market situation. And the company management system is inertial: the marketing strategies, methods and techniques used yesterday are still in use today. Therefore, it is useful to involve third parties to conduct a marketing audit, which allows you to take a fresh look at the usual circumstances and conditions, bring in new ideas and open up new opportunities.The hypothesis.

Published: February 2020

Introduction. Today, innovation is becoming a strategic growth factor that can influence the structure of public production, the economic organization of society and the stabilization of the social situation in the country. The world market is constantly striving to erase physical borders between countries and establish a common economic space around the world. But at the current stage of development of Ukraine it is not fully beneficial to participate in globalization due to insufficient level of competitiveness.Hypothesis of scientific research. It is assumed that, unlike developed and developing countries, Ukraine not only lacks effective large companies of the world level, but also suffers even more from the lack of growing, promising companies in new high-tech industries.The purpose of the article is to study the relationship between globalization and competitiveness and its peculiarities for the Ukrainian economy.The research methodologyis based on fundamental and applied research in the field of innovative growth of competitiveness of the economy in the context of globalization, materials of the state statistics service, materials of other official sources and Internet resources. In the course of the research the methods of systematization, comparative analysis, statistical methods were used.Results: it is revealed that the main problems faced by the economy of Ukraine are mainly related to the lack of a strategy to find methods of economic development, a clear prospect of a way out of the economic crisis, which is due to political instability and low investment attractiveness.Conclusions: It has been proved that the requirement of development of international and state economy testifies to the importance of elaboration of official policy in the sphere of competitiveness in Ukraine. Innovative development is the only prerequisite for ensuring the economic independence of Ukraine, to develop competitive advantages that will overcome the existing gap with the advanced competitive states.

Published: February 2020

Introduction. One of the main directions of Ukraine in international cooperation is the Euro integration process. The main purpose of which is the implementation of national legislation to European standards, with further adaptation and modification in accordance with international rules and regulations.Scientific research hypothesis. Any integration processes are quite complex and time-consuming, but they are necessary to improve the performance of the field in which they take place. Ukraine's European integration is aimed at ensuring the development of the spheres of political, legal, economic and social life of the country, including public procurement system in Ukraine.The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of integration processes on the current regulatory framework of the public procurement system in Ukraine.Research methods. General and special methods, such as systematic analysis and generalization, were used to determine the state of disclosure of the research problem. The method of comparisons, analogies and systematization was used for the analysis of regulatory documents regulating the sphere of public procurement.Results. On the basis of the author's study of the current state of legal support of the public procurement system in the context of European integration of Ukraine, a gradual distribution of the evolution of national legislation in the field of public procurement to international standards was presented, with its further reformation into the field of public procurement. The basic functions of the institutional structure of the public procurement system are considered and the valid legal acts of the procurement process are summarized.Conclusions. The analysis of the process of reforming the system of "public procurement" in the field of "public procurement" is characterized by a rethinking of the spending units of public funds with the need to approximate national legislation to international standards. For this purpose, a number of normative legal acts have been adopted by the state authorities aimed at accelerating the process of European integration of Ukraine, but some of them require further research and adjustments in order to adapt to national legislation.

The Complete Motets 5
Authors: Lasso Orlando di
Published: February 2020

This volume includes twenty-six Lasso motets for five, six, and eight voices first published in Venice in Girolamo Scotto's Sacrae cantiones of 1565 and Antonio Gardano's Orlandi Lassi Sacrae Cantiones, books 2, 3, and 4. Lasso's settings of Italian texts had been frequently published in Italy since 1555, but his motets were not printed there (or almost anywhere else) until the 1560s. Gardano and his successors eventually published eight numbered books of Lasso motets, but these three and Scotto's book are the only ones that contain a significant number of first editions. The increase in length of some of the motets in the French books of 1564 and 1565 (CM 4) is seen in the Italian books as well, with extended gospel settings such as “Missus est Angelus Gabriel,” “In principio erat Verbum,” and “Cum natus esset Jesus.” The hymn-motets “Jesu, corona virginum” and “Vexilla regis prodeunt” are similarly expansive. The setting of Savonarola's meditation on Psalm 50, “Infelix ego,” is especially expressive. The ascription to Lasso of two motets in this volume, “Zachaee, festinans descende” and “Gloria Patri,” is questionable.
The Complete Motets 6
Authors: Lasso Orlando di
Published: February 2020

The French and Italian interest in Lasso's motets in the mid-1560s was matched in Germany by the Nuremberg publisher Theodor Gerlach, the successor to Berg and Neuber, who had already issued many Lasso motets earlier in the decade (CM 2 and CM 3). Gerlach's two-volume Selectissimae cantiones of 1568 was in effect the first collected edition of Lasso's motets, reprinting almost all the pieces previously published in France and Italy and adding twenty motets for from four to eight voices published for the first time, including two contrafacta. Gerlach's sources for the first editions were faulty, and the expanded reissue of Selectissimae cantiones in 1579, edited by Leonhard Lechner, corrects its errors. The 1568 books include at least two pieces associated with the wedding in that year of Wilhelm, the heir apparent to the Bavarian dukedom, and Renata of Lorraine, Lasso's “Te Deum laudamus” and “Laudate Dominum, quoniam bonus.” In addition to the settings of sacred texts other celebratory motets and some Latin drinking songs round out the volume.
INCREASING THE BASELOAD CAPACITY OF BIOWASTE FERMENTATION PLANTS THROUGH OPTIMISED SUBSTRATE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Sprafke Jan , Engler Nils , Thabit Qahtan , Nelles Michael , Schuech Andrea
Published: February 2020

This paper presents a survey to determine the influence of impurities and green waste on anaerobic biowaste treatment, comparing the current common biowaste management system with a proposed future system. The results imply that it is possible to increase the specific biogas yield and the baseload capacity by means of an adapted biowaste management system. To analyse a possible correlation between biogas yield and biowaste composition from urban or rural areas the quality and quantity of biowaste was evaluated in a long-term research programme. August was the month with the maximum percentage of 69% green waste in biowaste, compared to February with a minimum proportion of 14%. The specific biogas yield of biowaste is in the range of 91 to 160 m³/tOS. The evaluation showed that, as expected, seasonal fluctuations in weather affected the proportion of garden and park waste (green waste) as well as impurities. Moreover, the proportion of green waste and impurities affects the substrate quality and degradability of biowaste. The investigated biowaste fermentation plant is not able to generate sufficient baseload for the reasons described above. Other reasons for this limitation include maintenance work, plant operation in part-load range and plant capacity limitations concerning the CHP module, digester capacity and pipes for gas transportation. The best ratio between organic fraction and impurities is obtained from biowaste from rural areas, while gas yields from urban areas are more constant and less volatile. Based on these findings, the increasing of the baseload capacity of waste fermentation plants can be achieved by: Optimisation of process flows (substrate management, preparation, post-treatment); Use of co-substrates in compliance with legal requirements; Determination and consideration of key figures.

What is the Functional / Organic Distinction Actually Doing in Psychiatry and Neurology?
Authors: Bell Vaughan , Wilkinson Sam , Greco Monica , Hendrie Callum , Mills Ben , Deeley Quinton
Published: February 2020

This has now been published in Wellcome Open Research at the following URL: https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/5-138/v1 The functional-organic distinction aims to distinguish symptoms, signs, and syndromes that can be explained by diagnosable biological changes, from those that cannot. The distinction is central to clinical practice and is a key organising principle in diagnostic systems. Following a pragmatist approach that examines meaning through use, we examine how the functional-organic distinction is deployed and conceptualised in psychiatry and neurology. We note that the conceptual scope of the terms 'functional' and 'organic' varies considerably by context. Techniques for differentially diagnosing 'functional' and 'organic' diverge in the strength of evidence they produce as a necessary function of the syndrome in question. Clinicians do not agree on the meaning of the terms and report using them strategically. The distinction often relies on an implied model of 'zero sum' causality and encourages classification of syndromes into discrete ‘functional’ and ‘organic’ versions. Although this clearly applies in some instances, this is often in contrast to our best scientific understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders as arising from a dynamic interaction between personal, social and neuropathological factors. We also note 'functional' and 'organic' have loaded social meanings, creating the potential for social disempowerment and epistemic injustice. Given this, we argue for a better understanding of how strategic simplification and complex scientific reality limit each other. We also note that the contribution of people who experience the interaction between 'functional' and 'organic' factors has rarely informed the validity of this distinction and the dilemmas arising from it, and we highlight this as a research priority.

U.S. Cyber Strategy of Persistent Engagement & Defend Forward: Implications for the Alliance and Intelligence Collection
Authors: Smeets Max
Published: February 2020

The 2018 U.S. Cyber Command vision and the Department of Defense Cyber Strategy embody a fundamental reorientation in strategic thinking. Much has been written about the implications of U.S. change in strategic doctrine for great power dynamics. Yet, less systematic attention, has been devoted to the strategy’s implications for the alliance and intelligence collection. The purpose of this Perspective is to conduct a benefit-risk assessment of the US strategy on these issues. Whilst the U.S.’s mission to persistently engage with adversaries may have benefits for alliance relationships, the paper identified four avenues how the strategy leads to negative implications for the alliance i) loss of trust due to offensive cyber effects operations in allied systems or networks; compromise of allied intelligence operations and capabilities; iii) exploitability of the strategy by adversaries; and iv) the implementation (and justification) of persistent engagement by other countries. The paper suggests several ways forward, including the promoting of new NATO-memorandum of understanding on cyber operations.
Industrial Automation and Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States
Authors: Berger Thor , Engzell Per
Published: February 2020

This article examines how the automation of jobs has shaped spatial patterns of intergenerational income mobility in the United States over the past three decades. Using data on the spread of industrial robots across 722 local labor markets, we find significantly lower rates of upward mobility in areas more exposed to automation. The erosion of mobility chances is rooted in childhood environments and is particularly evident among males growing up in low-income households. These findings reveal how recent technological advances have contributed to the unequal patterns of economic opportunity in the United States today.

Authors: Pradana Antonio Heltra
Published: February 2020

Di Kota Malang terdapat kampung tematik di TPU Kasin yaitu kampung Kramat.Kampung ini telah ada sejak 50 tahun lalu dan dulu dikenal sebagai kampung pelarian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari tahu tentang pola kehidupan social masyarakat Kampung Kramat, dengan mendalami hal-hal terkait cara masyarakat kampung Kramat bertahan hidup ditengah-tengah lingkungan pemakaman, pola hubungan antara masyarakat yang satu dengan yang lain di Kampung Kramat, proses transformasi Kampung Kramat dari Kampung pelarian menjadi Kampung tematik dan basis keberadaan dan keberlanjutan Kampung Kramat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deksriptif-induktif-kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Pendekatan ini digunakan untuk menggali konsep warga Kampung Kramat bertahan hidup dan cara mereka mempertahankan kampungnya hingga sekarang menjadi kampung tematik. Hasilnya, kampung dapat bertahan keberadaannya karena memiliki konsep meruang-berkehidupan yang kontekstual-kompleks. Konsep-konsep ini menjadi pilar-pilar penyokong keberadaan dan keberlanjutan Kampung Kramat. Adanya studi ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pertimbangan khusus mengenai arahan pemberdayaan kampung kota melalui konsep tematik agar dapat lebih mengena dan berdaya guna. Khususnya bagi kampung yang terletak di area pemakaman. Abstract:  In Malang regency, there is a thematic village in TPU Kasin namely Kramat Village. This village has existed since 50 years ago and was once known as an escape village. The purpose of this research is to find out about the social life pattern of the people of Kampung Kramat, by exploring the things related to the way the village of Kramat survive amid the  funeral environment, the pattern of relationship between Community that is one with the other in Kampung Kramat, the transformation process of Kampung Kramat from the runaway village becomes the thematic village and base of the existence and sustainability of Kampung Kramat. The method used in this research is a-inductive-qualitative dexsriptif with a phenomenological approach. This approach is used to excavate the concept of villagers survive and the way they defend their village is now a thematic village. As a result, the village can survive its existence because it has a contextual-complex living concept. These concepts are the pillars of the existence and sustainability of Kampung Kramat. The existence of this study is expected to be a specific consideration of the direction of empowerment of village city through thematic concept to be more effective and effective. Especially for the village located in the burial area.
Verification Techniques for a Network Algebra
Authors: Brodo Linda , Olarte Carlos
Published: February 2020

The Core Network Algebra (CNA) is a model for concurrency that extends the point-to-point communication discipline of Milner’s CCS with multiparty interactions. Links are used to build chains describing how information flows among the different agents participating in a multiparty interaction. The inherent non-determinism in deciding both the number of participants in an interaction, and how they synchronize, makes it difficult to devise verification techniques for this language. We propose a symbolic semantics and a symbolic bisimulation for CNA which are more amenable for automating reasoning. Unlike the operational semantics of CNA, the symbolic semantics is finitely branching and it represents, compactly, a possibly infinite number of transitions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions to efficiently check the validity of symbolic configurations. We also propose the Symbolic Link Modal Logic, a seamless extension of the Hennessy-Milner logic which is able to characterize the (symbolic) transitions of CNA processes. Finally, we specify both the symbolic semantics and the modal logic as an executable rewriting theory. We thus obtain several verification procedures to analyze CNA processes.
Deterministic Integer Factorization with Oracles for Euler’s Totient Function
Authors: Hittmeir Markus , Pomykała Jacek
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we construct deterministic factorization algorithms for natural numbers N under the assumption that the prime power decomposition of Euler’s totient function φ( N) is known. Their runtime complexities depend on the number ω( N) of distinct prime divisors of N, and we present efficient methods for relatively small values of ω( N) as well as for its large values. One of our main goals is to establish an asymptotic expression with explicit remainder term O( x/ A) for the number of positive integers N ≤ x composed of s distinct prime factors that can be factored nontrivially in deterministic time t = t( x), provided that the prime power decomposition of φ( N) is known. We obtain it for A = A( x) = x1– ɛ, where ɛ = ɛ( s) > 0 is sufficiently small and t = t( x) is a polynomial in log x of degree d = d( ɛ). An analogous bound is deduced under the assumption of the oracle providing the decomposition of orders of elements in [Formula: see text].
On the Compactness Property of Mereological Spaces
Authors: Polkowski Lech
Published: February 2020

Continuing our work on mass-based rough mereologies, we make use of the Stone representation theorem for complete Boolean algebras and we exhibit the existence of a finite base in each mereological space. Those bases in turn allow for the introduction of distributed mereologies; regarding each element of the base as a mereological space, we propose a mechanism for fusing those mereological spaces into a global distributed mereological space. We define distributed mass-assignments and rough inclusions pointing to possible applications.

A subset S of a connected graph G of order n is called a detour set of G if for every vertex x in G there exist vertices u; v in S such that x lie on a u – v detour path. The detour number dn( G) of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a detour set. In this paper we compute the detour number of certain 1-fault connected planar graphs.
On Commuting Parikh q-Matrices
Authors: Bera Somnath , Mahalingam Kalpana
Published: February 2020

This paper investigates properties of words such that their Parikh q-matrices commute. For any two words [Formula: see text], the concept of q-weak ratio property between u and v is introduced. Based on this property a necessary and sufficient condition for the Parikh q-matrices of any two words over binary alphabet to commute is given. This paper also provides a special class of words over an arbitrary alphabet ∑ k such that their Parikh q-matrices commute.
A Second-order Corrector Infeasible Interior-point Method with One-norm wide Neighborhood for Symmetric Optimization
Authors: Kheirfam Behrouz
Published: February 2020

In this article, we present a second-order corrector infeasible interior-point method based on one-norm large neighborhood for symmetric optimization. We consider the classical Newton direction as the sum of two other directions associated with the negative and positive parts of the right-hand side of the centrality equation. In addition to equipping them with different step lengths, we add a corrector step that is multiplied by the square of the step length in the expression of the new iterate. The convergence analysis of the algorithm is discussed and it is proved that the new algorithm has the same complexity as small neighborhood infeasible interiorpoint algorithms for the Nesterov-Todd (NT) direction, and the xs and sx directions.
On the Consistency of k-means++ algorithm
Authors: Kłopotek Mieczysław A.
Published: February 2020

We prove in this paper that the expected value of the objective function of the k-means++ algorithm for samples converges to population expected value. As k-means++, for samples, provides with constant factor approximation for k-means objectives, such an approximation can be achieved for the population with increase of the sample size.

This result is of potential practical relevance when one is considering using subsampling when clustering large data sets (large data bases).
On Orthogonal Projections on the Space of Consistent Pairwise Comparisons Matrices
Authors: Koczkodaj Waldemar W. , Smarzewski Ryszard , Szybowski Jacek
Published: February 2020

In this study, the orthogonalization process for different inner products is applied to pairwise comparisons. Properties of consistent approximations of a given inconsistent pairwise comparisons matrix are examined. A method of a derivation of a priority vector induced by a pairwise comparison matrix for a given inner product has been introduced.

The mathematical elegance of orthogonalization and its universal use in most applied sciences has been the motivating factor for this study. However, the finding of this study that approximations depend on the inner product assumed, is of considerable importance.
