Enerji Tüketimi- Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisi: Türkiye İçin Frekans Alanında Nedensellik Yaklaşımı
Authors: AYDIN Mehmet
Published: November 2020

Bu çalışmada, enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki Türkiye için 1965-2017 yılı verileri kullanılarak zaman ve frekans boyutunda nedensellik testleri yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Zaman boyutunda nedensellik ilişkisi Toda ve Yamamoto (1995) ve frekans boyutunda nedensellik ilişkisi Breitung ve Candelon (2006) nedensellik testleri ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada zaman ve frekans boyutunda nedensellik testlerine yer verilmesi ile hem ilişkinin yönünün belirlenmesi hem de kısa, orta ve uzun vadede ilişkinin yönünün değişip değişmediğini görmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, zaman boyutunda herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olmadığını gösterirken, frekans boyutunda Türkiye için uzun vadede ilişkinin yönünün enerji tüketiminden ekonomik büyümeye doğru olduğunu savunan Büyüme Hipotezinin geçerli olduğu göstermektedir.
Causality Between Stock Market and Macroeconomic Variables in Turkey: New Evidence From Wavelet Coherence Analysis
Authors: GÖK Remzi
Published: November 2020

We examine the dependence and causal linkages among selected macroeconomic variables, namely BIST100, bond yields, CDS, currency basket, and gold prices, in Turkey. Using daily data covering the period 2011-01-14 to 2019-04-30, we find the following empirical results. First, all variables are found to be integrated into the first order, namely stationary in first log-difference. Second, our paper detects evidence of significant interdependence in thirteen out of twenty pairs of variables. Third, the findings of the VECM test reveal unidirectional and bidirectional causalities in the short- and long-run. Fourth, the results of wavelet coherence analysis highlight a negative relationship for the pairs of BIST100-currency basket and BIST100-gold prices while positive linkages are observed for the pairs of bond rates-currency basket, bond rates-gold prices, and CDS-gold prices. In addition, the BIST100 index unidirectionally leads currency basket between 16- and 128-day holding periods between 2013-2017 years. Lastly, there exist unidirectional causal linkages among changes in prices for all the pairs of variables, except for BIST100-CDS with noncausality and gold-currency basket with two-way causality. Our findings yield significant implications for portfolio and risk management and financial stability.
Dynamics of the clinical functional and hemodynamic profile of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension with initial monotherapy with endothelin receptor antagonists: bosentan vs. macitentan
Authors: Martynyuk T. V. , Aleevskaya A. M.
Published: November 2020

AimTo compare results of 24-h treatments with bosentan and macitentan by the clinical functional status and indexes of pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Materials and methodsBased on the Russian National Registry (NCT03707561), 44 patients older than 18 years with PAH (34 patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPH) and 10 patients with Eisenmenger syndrome) were retrospectively included into this study. Based on the statistical method of pairwise comparison, two groups were formed and matched by age, gender, WHO functional class (FC), and 6-min walk distance (6MWD). 22 patients of group 1 (17 with IPH and 5 with Eisenmenger syndrome) were treated with macitentan 10 mg/day, and 22 patients of group 2 (17 with IPH and 5 with Eisenmenger syndrome) were treated with bosentan 250 mg/day. Clinical instrumental data (6MWD, Borg dyspnea score, chest X-ray, transthoracic echocardiography (EchoCG), and right heart catheterization (RHC)) were evaluated at baseline and after 24 weeks of therapy.ResultsBy week 24 of the treatment, FC and 6MWD improved in both groups. The macitentan treatment was associated with a significant decrease in Borg score. Significant intergroup differences in EchoCG data were not observed. The bosentan treatment was associated with a decrease in right ventricular (RV) dimension and a tendency towards a decrease in calculated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP). By week 24, the macitentan treatment as compared to the bosentan treatment, was associated with a decrease in cardiothoracic ratio (CTR). In both groups, RHC showed decreases in PASP, mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, and improvements in cardiac output (CO), cardiac index, and stroke volume (SV) values. By week 24, the increase in SV was greater in the macitentan treatment group than in the bosentan treatment group (р=0.05).ConclusionThe 24-week treatment with bosentan or macitentan provided significant and comparable improvement of the functional profile in PAH patients with FC II (WHO) at baseline. The decrease in CTR was significantly more pronounced in the macitental treatment group compared to the bosentan treatment group. The 24-week bosentan treatment resulted in a decrease in RV anterior-posterior dimension, a tendency towards a decrease in PASP according to EchoCG data. Macitentan provided more pronounced dynamics of dyspnea than bosentan according to the results of 6MWD test and the increase in SV according to RHC data.
Atrial Fibrillation and Diabetes Mellitus: the Control of Thromboembolic Risk
Authors: Obrezan A. G. , Kulikov N. V.
Published: November 2020

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common concomitant diseases in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Meta-analyses of multiple studies have shown that the risk of AF is higher for diabetic patients with impaired glucose homeostasis than for patients without DM. Patients with AF and DM were younger, more frequently had arterial hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease, and stroke and were characterized with a more severe course of AF. The article discusses possible mechanisms of the mutually aggravating effects of DM and AF, scales for evaluating the risk of bleeding (CHADS2, CHA2DS2‑VASc, HAS-BLED), and the role of anticoagulants. A meta-analysis of 16 randomized clinical studies, including 9 874 patients, has demonstrated the efficacy of oral anticoagulants in prevention of stroke with an overall decrease in the relative risk by 62 % compared to placebo (95% confidence interval, from 48 to 72 ). For prevention of complications in patients with AF and DM, current antithrombotic therapies can be used, specifically the oral factor Xa inhibitor, rivaroxaban, which is the best studied in patients with AF and DM and represents a possible alternative to warfarin in such patients.
Diseases of the circulatory system in the Kyrgyz Republic in the period of 2002–2017
Authors: Yrysova M. B.
Published: November 2020

Aim To analyze a tendency in circulatory system diseases (CSD) in the Kyrgyz Republic (KR).Materials and methods Medical statistics on morbidity, prevalence, mortality, and primary disability related with CSD in the adult population was obtained from the National Health Information Center (NHIC) of the Ministry of Health of the KR and the National Statistical Committee of the KR. For the purpose of comparative analysis, relative values were calculated per 100,000 and 10,000 population. A retrospective epidemiological study of prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and primary disability related with CSD for 2002-2017 was performed with calculation of the increase/decrease rate using the least square method for aligning the dynamic row. Also, the epidemiological situation of CSD was analyzed by sex and in 9 administrative divisions of the KR with calculation of the mean long-term incidence (MLTI) of CSD from 2007 through 2017. Statistical analysis was performed with specialized Statistica 10.0 and SPSS 11.5 software.Results CSD remain the major cause of death (51.6 % in 2017) and primary disability (19.68 % of overall primary disability) in the Kyrgyz population. Prevalence of CSD shows a pronounced upward trend (6.8% increment rate relative to 2002) whereas the incidence rate has increased with a moderate trend (3.5 % increment rate). The major structure of CSD is determined by essential hypertension (51.2 %), ischemic heart disease (28.0 %), and cerebrovascular diseases (10.0 %). CSD is more frequently observed in women (mean value for 2007-2017, 59.0%) than in men (41.0 %) (р<0.001). Mean long-term indexes of CSD significantly differ in different regions and cities of the KR. The highest primary morbidity and prevalence of CSD is observed in Bishkek (1546.90 / 0000 and 12415.40 / 0000). Relatively low levels of these values are found in the Talas Region (720.70 / 0000 and 3675.10 / 0000, respectively).Conclusion CSD remains the major cause of death and primary disability in the population of the KR. Prevalence of CSD shows a pronounced increasing trend whereas the increase in incidence rate is moderate. The major structure of CSD is determined by essential hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular diseases. Incidence of CSD is statistically significantly higher for women than for men. Mean long-term indexes of CSD significantly differ in different regions and cities of the KR. Therefore, it is essential to enhance preventive measures in the KR; to identify individuals with hypertension at the level of primary care; and to motivate healthcare professionals to improve the quality of healthcare (CSD prevention, detection, and treatment).

Published: November 2020

Extensive use of antithrombotic drugs (ATD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), on the one hand, provides a considerable decrease in the risk for development of life-threatening cardiovascular complications but on the other hand, is associated with a risk of gastrointestinal bleedings (GIB), which may develop in 0.5-1.0 % of patients. In such cases, the major measures for prevention of GIB are strict adherence to indications for the ATD treatment, detection and analysis of risk factors for GIB and their elimination as far as feasible. For evaluation of GIB risk in patients with IHD, the PRECISE-DAPT and DAPT, HAS-BLED scales should be used. If the risk factors are non-modifiable the therapeutic tactics for further management of these patients should be strictly individual with determining the nature of damage, degree of a risk for present and possible complications, and the range of required therapeutic and diagnostic measures. The use of ATD requires monitoring of the patient’s condition to timely detect and treat GI complications.

Authors: Seliutskii S. I. , Savina N. M. , Chapurnykh A. V.
Published: November 2020

Aim To compare the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and antiarrhythmic therapy (AAT) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic heart failure (CHF) during 12-month observation.Materials and methods This prospective, nonrandomized comparative observational study included 130 patients with AF (men, 65 %; mean age, 62.8±11.8 years) and CHF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) <50 %. Paroxysmal AF was observed in 60 (46 %) patients and persistent AF was observed in 70 (54 %) patients. According to results of transthoracic echocardiography (EchoCG) 107 (82 %) patients had intermediate LV EF (40–49 %) and 23 (18 %) patients had reduced LV EF (<40 %). RFA of AF was performed for 65 patients whereas 65 patients received an optimal AAT. The 24-h electrocardiogram monitoring, EchoCG, and assessment of the quality of life (QoL) with the SF-36 questionnaire were performed for all patients on admission and at 12 months of observation. Stability of sinus rhythm, EchoCG, QoL, and exercise tolerance were evaluated at 12 months of observation.Results 49 (75%) of patients in the RFA group and 26 (40%) of patients in the AAT group had stable sinus rhythm (SR) at 12 months. Repeated RFA for relapse of AF was performed for 6 (12 %) of 49 patients; repeated cardioversion was performed for 16 (61.5 %) of 26 patients. In the AAT group, there were more interventions for maintaining SR than in the RFA group (p<0.001). In patients with SR of the RFA group at 12 months of observation, LV EF was increased (р<0.001), left ventricular dimension (р<0.001) and volume (р<0.001) were decreased, and mental (р<0.001) and physical (p<0.001) components of health were improved according to the SF-36 questionnaire. In patients with SR of the AAT group, only improvement of mental (р<0.001) and physical (р<0.001) components of health was observed according to the SF-36 questionnaire.Conclusion RFA provided a considerable decrease in the frequency of AF relapse and improvement of LV EF in patients with CHF. The effectiveness of RFA did not depend on the type of arrhythmia. For 12 months of observation, the number of hospitalizations for decompensated CHF and interventions to maintain SR decreased in the RFA group compared to the AAT group.
Updated knowledge on floods and risk management in the Middle Ebro River: The “Anthropocene” context and river resilience
Authors: Ollero Alfredo , García J.Horacio , Ibisate Askoa , Sánchez-Fabre Miguel
Published: November 2020

The floods of 2015 and 2018 in the Middle Ebro River have led to a rethinking and updating of the forecasting and management systems. The improvements in the flow measurement systems applied in this type of extreme phenomena have led to questioning the values that were recorded in the past, officially changing the maximum flow rates of some historical floods. This has called for the need to update the knowledge/information of those recorded in the middle Ebro River, for example changing the return periods and making previous scientific studies obsolete. Updated data are applied, trying to re-characterize the floods of Ebro River since 1950, date in which the beginning of the “Anthropocene” is evident in the river management of the mainstream and its basin. At the same time, in the proposed risk management plans compliant with 2007/60/EC Directive, the structural measures are being replaced by more respectful and better adapted prevention systems for the river. The two processes interact and are essential for educating the population on risk, adopting preventive measures that are sustainable and consistent with the authentic (corrected) characteristics of the river and its floods. Thus, scientific knowledge has been consolidated as a tool to display corrected data, or, the river’s updated reality, and also to make the affected inhabitants aware of the need to follow new management protocols, focused on river resilience and social strategies.

Published: November 2020

Background: Knowledge and access to contraception is the basic right of every woman. This is one of the goals of National family planning programme. This study gauges the knowledge of antenatal women about temporary contraceptive methods available in our outpatient department and their attitude towards its practice.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at Indira Gandhi medical college and research institute, Puducherry, between March 2019 to May 2019. 270 pregnant women were chosen and with their consent, using a predesigned questionnaire, their awareness regarding contraception was assessed. Then each participant was counselled regarding the various methods and their attitude towards choosing a temporary contraceptive method was assessed using a questionnaire. The data was entered in SPSS software and analyzed.Results: In this study, 88.8% belonged to 20-30 years, 77% had received school education and 80.3% were home makers. 72.9% were primigravidas. 55.8% of primis and 95.8% of multis knew about spacing. In primis, 67.5% knew about IUCDs. In multis, 95.8% knew about condoms. Knowledge of depo provera was poor. The most preferred contraceptive was condom followed by CuT and pills.Conclusions: This study shows that it is important to create awareness about temporary contraceptive methods and its free availability in the hospitals. Further pregnant women need to be given more information about oral pills, emergency and injectable contraceptive methods. The Government has to work in unison with hospitals and its staff along with the media to achieve this goal.

Анотація. Корпоративне управління є важливим елементом ефективної банківської діяльності. Наявність задекларованих процедур і стандартів процесу ухвалення управлінських рішень зменшує рівень непрогнозованості і підвищує довіру між банками та їхніми контрагентами. Дотримання на практиці таких процедур, перш за все, залежить від композиції органів управління банку. Незважаючи на трирівневу структуру органів управління українських банків, стаття сфокусована на аналізі підходів до формування наглядових рад і впливу таких підходів на ефективність банківської діяльності. У процесі дослідження здійснено структурування теоретичних концепцій, пов’язаних із впливом складових елементів корпоративного управління на ефективність банківської діяльності. Окрім того, проведено систематизацію емпіричних досліджень за цією проблематикою. У контексті дослідження підходів до формування складу наглядових рад визначено головні законодавчі відмінності та фактори, що на них впливають. Здійснено дескриптивний аналіз структури наглядових рад комерційних банків України, висновки якого вказують на значну неоднорідність у підходах до формування складу наглядових рад. Визначено головні тенденції, які панують у банківському секторі за цим аспектом, а також виокремлено фактори, які впливають на наявність таких тенденцій. Установлено існування формального підходу, за якого «найбільш популярним» варіантом є склад ради з п’яти членів, троє з яких — незалежні. Побудовано модель впливу варіативності складу ради банку на ефективність його діяльності. З’ясовано, що для підвищення ефективності власної діяльності банкам слід розглянути варіанти розширення складу ради новими членами з відмінними освітніми напрямами і компетенціями.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. The ongoing changes in the legal regulations for banks to conduct financial monitoring make the research on the risk-oriented approach implementation in the Ukrainian banking sector relevant. The declining share of information bearing the signs of internal financial monitoring in the total amount of information provided by banks highlights the need to further improve the methods used to assess suspicious financial transactions conducted by banks and the risks associated with them, given the effectiveness of their detection and depth of consequences. The article is aimed to improve the risk-oriented approach in the primary financial monitoring by banks through the substantiated elements composing the system of significant risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. While substantiating the elements composing the system of significant risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing, it is crucial to consider the international risk management standards based on the assessment of threats, vulnerability to threats and their consequences for the bank and national security at all levels. Implementing the following steps: threat identification considering the type and jurisdiction of customers and types of financial transactions and channels for their implementation, justification of banks’ vulnerability to middle and high level threats, significant consequences of money laundering and terrorist financing risks allowed presenting in detail the areas of interest for the bank risk management. The research determined financial transactions subject to the recommendation to use high, increased and traditional prudence while identifying and verifying transactions. The proposed banks’ prudence areas built in reliance on the analysis of the legal framework for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, statistics provided by the State Financial Monitoring Service and the NBU allow banking institutions to focus on the risks posed by money laundering and terrorist financing, which have a significant impact on their activities. Further research should focus on forming a mathematical tool for assessing the bank’s risks in the financial monitoring of money laundering and terrorist financing.

CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING ASPECTS OF INTRODUCING AGILE-METHODOLOGY FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Authors: Balaziuk О.Yu. , Sysoieva І.M. , Pilyavets V. М.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. The article considers the Agile methodology, its conceptual principless and studies the main accounting aspects of its implementation in realizing the projects of software development.
In order to meet the modern requirements of the economic environment, the IT companies are turning to Agile-methodologies with accent on iterative and incremental software development. The software development on the basis of a flexible approach has numerous advantages, in particular centering on clients’ needs, reducing risks and costs, providing a transparent process. However, using Agile-methodology can make accounting a complicated task. The existing accounting principles involve software development in a long-term perspective and in more discrete phases. The article analyzes the popularity of practical use of Agile approach and determines the advantages from its use as well as defines the accounting related problems. The ways of eliminating the complications of using the flexible approach in project management in financial accounting are defined. The main ideological aspects of Agile Manifesto are considered.
In modern conditions, almost all businesses are in a state of constant change. There are purposeful transformations of both their individual elements and the management system in general, which requires manageability of change, which is difficult to achieve even within individual projects, often unique and innovative. In addition, the world economy has undergone significant changes in the economic environment, due to the globalization of business, informatization of society and the transition to a new model of economic growth.
It is investigated that with modern optimization of financial processes Agile-technologies are built in such a way that changes are welcomed and uncertainty is recognized. And this did not bypass the internal audit. The growing needs of customers, the need to change process technologies, the introduction of new methodologies in the activities of departments adjust the internal audit to change approaches to testing and analysis of materials, as well as active participation in new projects.
Keywords: Agile-methodology, Agile-team, Internal audit, value-centered approach, accounting system, costs capitalization.

Анотація. Безперервний рух до досконалості вимагає постійного контролю і вдосконалення управлінських рішень на підприємстві. Досягти окресленої мети і завдань можливо на основі ІТ-технології для потреб логістики. ІТ-компанії (360data, Alpega, C3 Solutions, CyberLogitec, Data2Logistics та ін.) зосереджують свою увагу на вирішенні як окремих, так і комплексних завдань (планування завантаження, оптимізація, закупівлі, швидкість та ставки, зворотна логістика, маршрутизація і планування, система управління транспортом тощо) логістичних підприємств. Це дає змогу впроваджувати та експлуатувати ІТ-рішення в області ланцюгів поставок, логістики, вертикальної спеціалізації, базової вартості, сторонньої логістики та додаткових рішень. На сьогодні питання підвищення ефективності логістичних процесів вимагають активних дій з боку керівництва компаній, тому їхня конкурентоспроможність, передусім, залежить від своєчасності реагувати на глобальні тренди і виклики в області ІТ-технологій. ІТ-розробники, як засвідчили дослідження, найбільше концентрують свою увагу на розв’язанні проблем постачальників транспортних послуг — на них надає понад 90 % усіх респондентів. Також потрібно відмітити, що понад 80 % ІТ-рішень у вертикальній спеціалізації зосереджено в галузі сільського господарства щодо виробництва, транспортування та гуртової торгівлі. Попри зазначені досягнення, менше ніж 40 % компаній використовують технологію для контролю продуктивності ланцюгів поставок. У зв’язку зі зростанням складності відправлення вантажовідправниками вантажів клієнтам, багато компаній звертаються до допомоги так званої 3PLs (third-partylogistics). Проведені дослідження показали, що понад 80 % усіх вантажовідправників використовують 3PLs, що допомагає їм підвищити якість обслуговування клієнтів. Серед компаній, які впроваджують і використовують досягнення ІТ-технологій у своїй логістичній діяльності, можна виділити Maersk, Schneider, LufthansaCargo, SAS CargoGroup A/S, AsstrA та ін. Зазначені ІТ-рішення дали таким компаніям можливість більш ефективно контролювати і координувати доставку вантажів, інтегрувати інтерфейси вантажовідправника та клієнта в єдину мережу, оптимізувати роботу власних підрозділів, знизити логістичні витрати тощо. Це також підтверджується й тим фактом, що понад 60 % усіх старших керівників, які причетні до роботи транспорту на підприємствах, відчули суттєві позитивні зміни глобальних перетворень.

Анотація. Актуальність теми дослідження пояснюється тим, що найважливішим засобом забезпечення узгодження сторін трудового процесу і досягнення в цілому стійкого розвитку підприємства в майбутньому є налагодження механізму формування доходу персоналу та визначення його оптимального рівня. Метою статті є формування рекомендацій і пропозицій стосовно оптимізації формування складових сукупного доходу персоналу підприємства за допомогою цільової функції, орієнтованої на максимізацію доходовіддачі суб’єкта господарювання. Доведено, що успішне функціонування підприємства неможливе без узгодження інтересів роботодавця і його персоналу у сфері формування доходів, тож цей процес потребує оптимізації із застосуванням методів математичного моделювання. Оскільки доходи персоналу передусім належать до сфери менеджменту персоналу підприємства, то показниками цілі є показники результативності використання трудових ресурсів. Залежно від цілей оптимізації виділено кілька типів невідомих змінних у задачах управління доходом персоналу підприємства: рівень працівника; рівень окремого структурного підрозділу; рівень підприємства в цілому. Науковою новизною статті є побудована модель оптимального формування доходів персоналу, яка, на відміну від наявних, базується на оптимізації складових доходу, що забезпечують максимальний рівень результативного показника оцінки ефективності доходів персоналу і задовольняють умови неперевищення фінансових ресурсів підприємства при досягненні максимально потрібного рівня прибутковості. Практичне значення отриманих результатів полягає в тому, що розроблені критерії оптимізації були апробовані в господарській діяльності підприємств харчової промисловості, що надало можливість визначити оптимальний склад сукупного доходу персоналу, за якого відбувається зростання результативності діяльності цих суб’єктів господарювання.

THE IMPACT OF INTELLECTUAL FACTORS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTRY: A CLUSTER ANALYSIS
Authors: Kalenyuk I. , Tsymbal L.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. The engine for the development of countries is the accumulation and use of intellectual resources. At the same time, there is considerable scientific interest in the question of which intellectual factors are key to ensuring the development of different countries. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the relationship between resource and performance indicators of intellectualization and GDP dynamics of the country. The resource indicators include: human; financial; intellectual. The following set of indicators relates to the results of intellectual activity already obtained, which should be divided into educational and scientific ones; infrastructure; technological.
A cluster analysis of the countries characterized by decisive development trends was made in order to identify and summarize existing dependencies. In total, 44 countries were selected for the study, which are rather heterogeneous in terms of their socio-economic development and geopolitical position.The econometric analysis identified 3 groups of countries characterized by high (cluster 1), medium (cluster 2) and low (cluster 3) GDP per capita during 2005—2015. The 4th Cluster includes rapidly developing Asian emerging countries — China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and the Republic of Korea.
The economic modelling of impact of resource and resulting factors on the level of economic development is carried out separately for each cluster. As a result of the simulations, the following regularities were revealed for each cluster. For first cluster countries the most significant impact on GDP growth is exerted by the government’s expenditures on education and the research staff growth. For the second cluster countries growth in expenditures on education by 1% leads to a 1% increase in GDP. The third cluster countries are experiencing a significant positive impact from rising expenditures on education in general and on higher education in particular. The fourth cluster countries are experiencing a significant positive impact from the increase in research staff and the increase in public expenditures on higher education. Characteriс of intelligent models of countries of different clusters allows to make realistic prognostic scenarios of their development, taking into account both changes of separate components of model, and efficiency of various economic measures and tools.

Анотація. Визначено, що економічний розвиток України протягом усього періоду її функціонування був дуже нестабільним. У результаті порівняння тенденцій економічного розвитку України і країн ЄС було визначено, що українська економіка набагато більше схильна до різких коливань економічної активності, тоді як розвиток економік країн ЄС є більш стабільним і передбачуваним без стрімких стрибків економічного розвитку.
Проведено аналіз основних факторів, що впливають на циклічність розвитку економіки України. Визначено значний вплив політичної ситуації на економічний розвиток України. Обґрунтовано істотний вплив зовнішньоекономічних факторів на розвиток економічних процесів в Україні. Визначено, що ефективна і виважена митна політика України може сприяти стрімкому розвиткові зовнішньої торгівлі, що допоможе подоланню негативних наслідків циклічності економічного розвитку. Розглянуто створення зони вільної торгівлі між Україною і країнами ЄС у контексті циклічності економічного розвитку. Виявлено основні переваги і вірогідні ризики зменшення тарифних і нетарифних бар’єрів при торгівлі України з країнами ЄС. Розглянуто обсяги торгових потоків між Україною та ЄС, обґрунтовано, що Україна має досить слабку позицію в торговельних відносинах із країнами ЄС, це проявляється у від’ємному сальдо зовнішньої торгівлі з країнами ЄС, а також у превалюванні експорту товарів із низькою доданою вартістю.
Проаналізовано обсяги надходжень податків на міжнародну торгівлю до Державного бюджету України, на основі чого визначено, що лібералізація торговельних відноси з ЄС уже в перші періоди створення зони вільної торгівлі привела до досить істотного зниження надходжень мита до Державного бюджету України. Обґрунтовано, що створення зони вільної торгівлі з ЄС було б менш загрозливим з позиції інтересів економіки України, у тому разі якщо б воно відбувалося в період сталого економічно зростання.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. The presence of a large number of insurance companies in the Ukrainian insurance market requires the use of quantitative methods to assess their competitiveness and attractiveness for consumers of insurance services. In order to ensure the level of competitiveness of an insurance company that would meet the needs of policyholders in comparison with other companies, it is necessary to orient the activity on the line «sustainable development». The use of quantitative methods in assessing the competitiveness of insurance companies is due to the fact that their application is based on well-defined hypotheses in the presence of specific quantitative indicators and obtaining results with a high degree of accuracy.
The priority objective of an insurance company is to obtain the greatest number of competitive advantages that serve as the basis for ensuring a constant level of efficiency, profitability and profitability of their activities. Solving this problem is possible with the use of an economic and mathematical model aimed at the iterative formation of the structure of the insurance portfolio. There are different methods of optimizing the activities of companies that allow you to increase the amount of profit and increase profitability. One of the methods that an insurance company can use to improve its efficiency is optimization of the insurance portfolio, which includes determining the rational combination of the proportion of individual types of services in the portfolio, analysis of solvent demand for certain types of services, taking into account the restrictions and needs of the market, the choice of rational combination prices and sales volumes, taking into account market demand. By developing a model for quantifying the performance of an insurance company to determine its level of competitiveness, quantitative significance was obtained which allowed ranking the insurance companies according to this criterion. The obtained results allowed determining the competitive advantages of insurance companies and determining their competitiveness in the market.

Study of the Complex Formation Process in the Iron (III)-1-Phenyl-2,3-Dimethylpyrazolin-5-Thion-6 mol/l HCl + Acetone System by the Potentiometric Method
Authors: Beknazarova N.S. , Hasanov O.K.
Published: November 2020

The complex formation of iron (III) ions in a wide range of temperatures in a mixed solvent was studied by the potentiometric method using a redox electrode based on 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazoline-5-thione and its oxidized form. The study shows that titration of the iron (III)--1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazoline-5-thione--6 mol/l HCl (HCl + acetone, ratio 1:3) system at a temperature of 273--318 K results in a regular increase in the potential indicator electrode. It was found that in the system under consideration four complex forms of compositions are formed: [FeL(H2O)5]3+, [FeL2(H2O)4]3+, [FeL3(H2O)3]3+ and [FeL4(H2O)2]3+. For each complex particle, their stability constants are determined by the Bjerrum method. Summarizing the experimental and theoretical data, it was established that the iron (III) complexes obtained in the 6 mol/l HCl medium are more stable than the complexes obtained in a mixed solvent with 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazoline-5-thione. The values ΔH and ΔG of reactions of the formation of 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazoline-5-thione complexes were found by Clark --- Glu method using the regression method. The corresponding patterns in the change in values ΔH, ΔG and ΔS of formation of complexes were revealed. To determine the region of dominance and the maximum yield of a particular complex particle, depending on the concentration of the organic ligand in the solution, distribution diagrams were constructed, according to which the maximum yield of a complex particle and the region of its dominance can be found at any point The work was carried out in accordance with the research plan of the laboratory "Synthesis and testing of coordination compounds" named after Corresponding Member of Tajik Academy of Sciences, Dr. Sc.

Changes in Russian society, happened in the last three decades, determine the contradictory process of socialization of the younger generation. The blurry of perceptions about the type of personality demanded by society and the state, in many ways, determines the chaotic process of forming the values of young people, which proceed under the influence of random and sometimes divergent factors. Changing objective living conditions in modern Russian society leads to a significant complication of social self-determination processes, the formation of the problematic identity of various youth groups. The authors of the article focused on identifying local-territorial and sociocultural features of the memory of the Great Patriotic War of the students of the large regional centers of the Volga Federal District. The dynamics of this process are analyzed on the basis of data obtained during the research of historical memory of students of Nizhny Novgorod region and cities of the Volga Federal District in 2005–2015. The Volga branch of FCTAS RAS and LUNN, as well as the all-Russian sociological study of the Russian society of sociologists in 2020. The authors of the article substantiate the conclusion that the structure of the historical memory of young students is very selective, often without sufficient justification fixes attention on some events and ignores others, contributing to the mythologization of historical consciousness, disorienting it and creating a favorable ground for the emergence and strengthening of social destruction. The authors’ conclusion is convincing that without special eff orts of society, the state, educational institutions aimed at forming the historical consciousness of young students, it is impossible to maintain the attitude to the Great Patriotic War, as a landmark event in world and national history.

Authors:   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation, Kinsburskiy Aleksandr V.
Published: November 2020

Social conflicts play an important role in public life, performing not only destructive, but also significant constructive functions. The socio-ecological conflict between government and business in the Republic of Bashkortostan shows the predominance of constructive functions over destructive ones. A brief chronology of the conflict between the republican government and the Bashkir soda company over the possible use of the shihan (mountain) Tratau / Toratau as a raw material base for the production of soda is given. The main positive consequences of the conflict are its scientific rationalization, mobilization and organization of public defenders of the mountain, finding a compromise on replacing the Shihan Tratau with the Shihan Kushtau as a raw material base for industrial production.
