STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES ON THE BASIS OF SELECTED SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS
Authors: Hurbánková Ľubica , Krasňanská Dominika
Published: November 2019

The aim of the paper is to compare the European Union countries on the basis of selected socio-economic and demographic indicators for the year 2016. The following indicators are selected for analysis: gross domestic product per capita, government gross debt as a percentage of gross domestic product, inflation rate, unemployment rate, total fertility rate, infant mortality rate and crude divorce rate.

The contribution of the paper is a division of the countries of the European Union into several groups using cluster analysis so that the countries belonging to the same cluster are as similar as possible and the countries belonging to different clusters are the least similar, or rather the most different. The cluster analysis consists of several steps: a selection of the type of clustering process (hierarchical and non-hierarchical, the hierarchical can be agglomerated or divisive), a selection of the aggregation
method (the nearest neighbour method, the furthest neighbour method, the average distance method, the centroid method, the median method, the Ward method, the typical points method, the k-means method, a method of optimum centers or medoids and fuzzy clustering, all of which can be used as the aggregation method), a selection of similarity rate (such as the Euclidean distance, the Hamming distance, the Minkow distance, the Mahalabonis distance), a specification of the number of significant clusters (based on the standard deviation of variables creating one cluster, the determination coefficient, the semi partial coefficient of determination, the distances of clusters, the cubic clustering criterion), a cluster interpretation (the description of each cluster based on the observed characteristics).

The application of individual statistical methods is implemented through the statistical programme SAS Enterprise.
MODELING OF THE PROCESS OF POURING THE PRODUCT THROUGH THE RECEIVER-DISTRIBUTING DEVICE VST
Authors: Chernova O. T.
Published: November 2019

Preserving quality and quantity of a product is an important task during the operation of tank farms.  This requires maximum sealing of all processes of pouring, discharging and storing.  Tanks have the largest share of evaporation losses throughout the course of the oil flow from fishing to refineries, at factories and petroleum product pipelines from factories to consumers.  The process of storage of oil and petroleum products is combined with other technological operations (desalting of oil, heating, dehydration, mixing, etc.).

 One of the most important methods of saving fuel and energy resources, which occupy a leading place in the development of the economy, is the fight against oil products losses.  The issue of product losses due to the lack of equipment and the durability of its use is important.  One of them is a receiving and distributing device, which is installed in vertical steel tanks.

 To compare two of the most common variants of the execution of the disengagement body of the (ПРУ що це таке), a simulation of the process of pouring the product into the reservoir was performed using the Ansys 19.1 program.  This made it possible visually to see how the receiving and distributing device works and what its efficiency can depend on.  From the model of pressure distribution to the wall of the case (ПРУ) it is evident that when smoothly turning the housing, the pressure is distributed more evenly, due to which the load on the corner and the entrance to the receiver-distributing device in the wall of the tank will be less than when turning with the insert.

In this article an analysis of the possibility of improving the outdated technologies and the use of the latest in the storage of petroleum products is given. The use of a receiving and dispensing device can significantly increase the inter-cleaning period during the operation of the reservoir, as well as reduce the amount of work when cleaning the reservoir. This will reduce the level of dead remains, improvement the service life of the lower belt and the bottoms of vertical steel tanks, by reducing the zone of corrosive activity of the bottom sediment.

Authors: Nisonskii V. P. , Kornuta Yu. V , Katamai I. M-B.
Published: November 2019

Some of the most frequently encountered and generic types of plane vector fields with singular points at the origin of the coordinate system have been studied using complex variable theory methods combined with complex potential methods and field theory methods. The basic concepts of field theory and vector analysis, which are used to study vector fields and the main numerical characteristics of these fields, have been considered.

The study of the most frequently encountered vector fields with singular points of four types, namely the generator, the vortical point, the eddy source, the dipole, have been conducted. The application of the complex potential for finding the main characteristics of the vector fields of the considered types, namely their divergence and rotor, has been shown. Equipotential lines and streamlines of the considered vector fields have been obtained and graphically constructed using the method of complex potential. Studied using the vector analysis methods and the methods of the theory of complex variable functions (complex potential) characteristics of vector fields can be used for mathematical modeling of various problems, arising during the study of layers, namely soil and water reservoir filtration problems, as well as in studying the flow of fluid or gas in layers problems.

The developed and considered mathematical models of flat vector fields and the found numerical characteristics of these fields can be used to solve other problems of the oil and gas complex, which require studies of the flow of liquids or gases in gas- or oil-bearing beds.

Published: November 2019

Though the 21st century was considered hallmark economic globalization and trade partnership but recent developments of Brexit and President Trumps protective and anti-multilateral trading have challenged the established liberal consensus on economic globalization. This paper would argue that on the contrary the case of CPEC is the recent initiative from China and Pakistan which is giving boost to the new wave of economic Globalization as the economic corridor China projected the Belt and Road as a road to prosperity whereas isolation brings backwardness, will be more true with regard to CPEC. For Pakistan it is a gamechanger as it is a framework of regional connectivity. CPEC will not only benefit China and Pakistan but will have positive impact on Iran, Afghanistan, India, Central Asian Republic, and the region. The enhancement of geographical linkages will further the economic globalization as against the anti-globalization moves.
The Financial Strategy Instrument in the Context of Enterprise Modernization
Authors: ALEKSIN G.
Published: November 2019

Problem of improving the strategic management quality at enterprise level (in particular its financial strategy formation and implementation) drastically increases under the recession conditions. It is highly important to take into account endogenous and exogenous factors influencing financial strategy formation, namely the issues raised due to need for modernization endemic to Ukraine’s real sector enterprises.
The aim of the study is to determine financial strategy’s role in the context of the real sector’s modernization.
The paper considers the problem of financial strategy development and implementation in the context of enterprise modernization in Ukraine. The author analyzes the problem of maintaining an enterprise’s strategic direction towards modernization though effective use of the financial strategy. The author studies the problem of financial management decisions’ nature in the context of enterprises’ innovative renewal. Based on the analysis of Ukrainian brewing industry enterprises, the paper provides practical recommendations considering financial strategy formation in the context of capital investment program implementation.
Based on the evidence collected, the author arrived at a conclusion that different enterprises take different financial strategic decisions based on peculiarities of their external and internal environment. The author argued for the existence of a pattern concerning Ukraine’s real sector modernization issues, i. e. lack of a long-term focus, acute agency costs, weak interconnectedness of financing and operational policy. The author arrived at a conclusion that solutions to those issues are on both macro- and micro-level: firstly, state’s efforts to improve institutional environment, secondly, enterprises’ steps towards improving financing policy’s efficiency, thirdly, alignment of an enterprise’s financing policy and peculiarities of its exogenous and endogenous environment, which is highly important in the context of limited resources and uncertainty.
“Problem Barometer” as a tool for cooperation of the Society, Power and Business: Switzerland’s experience
Authors: SEMIANOVSKYI V.
Published: November 2019

The objective of the study is to substantiate the need for introducing “Problem barometer” to address the problems of power-community-business cooperation on the participative management principles, enhance the performance of power offices and the civil society, for gradual settlement of difficult problems arising in contemporary society. The working task is to highlight European instruments for the power-community-business cooperation by the Swiss example and substantiate the possibilities of adapting this practice in Ukraine.
The cooperation triangle “Community – Power – Business” is built. An extensive review of “Swiss worry” barometer is given. Using this Swiss practice and data from Kyiv International Institute of Sociology for 2014–2019, “Problem barometer” for Ukrainian is constructed. The public concerns measured by this barometer cover war in the east of Ukraine, life standards, economic situation, security in Ukraine, crime, political situation, relations with Russia, environmental problems, renaissance of the Ukrainian nation, relations with EU, annexation of Crimea, international relations, interethnic relations, other. The options “hard to say” and “refuse to answer” are also included.      
It is stressed that for political parties or deputies Ukrainian “Problem barometer” signals what social problems should come in their focus in time of the cadence. For public institutions “barometer” shows what social problems call for solutions with the government’s involvement. The “barometer” indicators are also important for the business, especially the socially oriented one. For voters “barometer” indicates whether a deputy or a public official is concerned with the needs of the population or his own needs (or needs of party sponsors). This determines the citizens’ trust in the respective institutions. The conclusion is made that the proposed “Problem barometer” (built by analogy with “Swiss barometer”) is an instrument for streamlining the community-power-business cooperation, which makes it more effective.
Analysis of International Experiences in Constructing the Information System of Education Management in the Field of Technical and Vocational Education and Training
Authors: Lesnikova M. V.
Published: November 2019

Education Management Information System (EMIS) is an organized group of information and documentation services that collects, stores, processes, analyzes and disseminates information on the planning and management of the education system. Each country tend to have own EMIS because of the differences in local systems of education and training. EMIS in the field of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), or TVET-MIS, is a consolidated EMIS for timely access to high quality information. The analysis showed that in all the countries under study the owner of EMIS in the field of vocational education is the Ministry of Education. Data is collected in the vast majority of countries, with exception of Brazil and Pakistan, from public vocational education institutions, and cover the formal education sector.

Indicators contained in EMIS for professional (vocational) education provide the possibility of international comparisons, methodological soundness and simplicity of making statistical reports; they provide the user with the opportunity to generate the necessary information independently (an example is Open EMIS Core – TVET-MIS), form the extended database of registers with wide possibilities for searching the necessary information, tracing the trajectory of employment of graduates of professional (vocational) education institutions. These systems are characterized by: the availability of indicators of the effectiveness of the system of professional (vocational) education (examples are MLDS, Maryland and TVET-MIS – Career Tech, Ohio, USA), the coverage of professional (vocational) education institutions in public and private sectors, the successful coordination of the system of professional (vocational) education with the stakeholders (an example is NEMIS system in Pakistan), a comprehensive electronic system for collecting, managing and analyzing data from the system of professional (vocational ) education, despite economic instability in a country (an example is TAALIM system, Afghanistan), coverage of the informal professional (vocational) education sector, self-contained computerized data collection system that uses a centralized procedure for extracting primary data on one date for all institutions (an example is SISTEC system, Brazil).
Unpaid Care Work in the Republic of Belarus: Structure Analysis and Methods of Macroeconomic Assessment
Authors: Agabekova N. V. , Korolenok A. V.
Published: November 2019

Achieving gender equality is important for sustainable socio-economic development of the country. The significance of this problem is also reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals, namely, achieve gender equality (Goal 5). While the Republic of Belarus pays great attention to solving gender problems, inequality in the labor market is persisting. In particular, gender differences in the distribution of paid and care-related work still exist. Therefore, it is important to study and identify the differences in the time budget of employed men and women in the Republic of Belarus, with assessing the unpaid household services and their recording in national accounts.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the time use structure in the Republic of Belarus, with determining the differences in the distribution of paid and unpaid work between men and women and assessing the housework that is “invisible” for a market economy. The study is based on the methodological approaches of the System of National Accounts and the updated international standards on labor statistics. Data from time-use surveys and sample household surveys on employment issues are used as the information base of our study.

It is shown that the total daily working day of women lasts 68 minutes longer than the working day of men, which is explained by the fact that women spend twice longer time on housework than men. The unpaid work (services produced inside households) is valuated by the cost approach using the methods of full, specialized replacement and opportunity costs.

The estimated scopes of the household work “invisible” for a market economy range from 12.6% to 20.5% of Gross Domestic Products in 2018. Future studies should focus on the assessment of the women’s contribution in the national economy, with inclusion of their housework and the household output for own final consumption in the traditional macroeconomic indicators.
Organizational Principles of the Financial Reporting Audit in Ukraine
Authors: Lubenchenko O. E. , Vasiliuk М. М.
Published: November 2019

The steps to organize the work of an audit firm on performing the task of obligatory audit of financial reporting are defined: (i) appoint the key partner in the audit considering the criteria of audit quality, independence and competency; (ii) record the revealed non-compliances with the Law of Ukraine “Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing Activities” in the work of an audit firm; (iii) make up personal records of audit customers; (vi) make up working documents, including the ones confirming independence of an audit firm and its staff, conclusions made in time of audit, to produce the audit report; (v) consider the specifics of actions of the key partner in audit in checking the consolidated financial report, the interactions with the Inspection on Quality Assurance, which is a part of the Body charged with public supervision of auditing and the Audit Chamber of Ukraine. It is found that more than one key partner can be appointed according to the Ukrainian law. This situation is fully acceptable when financial reports of high structured economic entities making up consolidated reporting are audited.

It is substantiated that the key partner in audit and task teams members are appointed by an administrative document (the order) of an audit firm. The latter are appointed after the assessment of resources (human and technical) necessary for the task completion at the phase of client acceptance, which can be subject to subsequent review at the phases of planning and task performing, with the respective change in the team staff. An example of calculating the time budget for the audit task completion is provided. It is emphasized that a change of the key partner in time of audit would not be reasonable, because it is stipulated in the law that such partner must be personally involved in checking and sign the auditor report when the check is over. A change of the key partner will decline the quality of financial reporting audit due to the lack of permanent supervision over the checking process and control of task team members, especially when contradictory issues have to be dealt with. An audit firm can reveal non-compliances of its practices with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing Activities” and introduce the procedures of recording the revealed non-compliances. These non-compliances are systematized in the article. A format of the personal records of audit customers and sources of making up personal records are specified. A format of the book for analysis of complaints coming from customers and regulatory bodies is proposed to audit firms. The recommended measures can help assure the quality of financial reporting audit in Ukraine.

Workshop and Mentoring of Scientific Writing on Elementary School Teacher in Air Periukan Subdistrict, Seluma Regency and Bengkulu Province
This community service was aimed to help teachers understand the concepts and processes of publicizing scientific articles in scholarly journals. The target of the program was the teachers are able to compile a manuscript and be accompanied until it is ready to be sent to the scholarly journal. The participants were members of the Air Periukan Subdistrict Teacher Working Group in Seluma District, Bengkulu Province. The training was carried out with participatory lecturing and mentoring methods. The results of observations on the implementation of the program through evaluation showed that the teachers had a high interest in being trained to publish scientific articles. However, high interest has not been followed by the number of manuscripts produced. The unfamiliarity of the publication of scientific articles has led to scientific publications becoming a "scourge" and reducing the teacher’s self-confidence to publish their scholarly article in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This program produced 12% of article drafts from 52 participants. This concluded that the program has to be continued so that the scientific work of teachers published in the scholarly journals will increase.
Comparative Performance of Biofertilizers on Irrigated Lowland Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Castillo Michelle , Mamaril Cezar
Published: November 2019

Biofertilizers have been claimed as an alternative source of nutrients for plants in order to increase yield and reduce the inorganic fertilizer use by 500%. Sixteen trials were undertaken nationwide covering the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Camarines Sur, Negros Occidental, Leyte, Samar, Bohol, Agusan, and North Cotabato during wet and dry seasons of 2008-2010 to verify the effectiveness of biofertilizers (Bio N, Vital N, BioCon) under lowland or anaerobic ecosystem. The experiment consisted of nine treatments which included control, and biofertilizers applied alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizers either at one-half or full recommended rate. Generally, biofertilizers evaluated showed no positive effect on grain and straw yields of lowland rice and yield components such as plant height, tiller count, number of productive tillers, spikelet count, number of filled grains and unfilled grains, and weight of 100 grains. The positive effect of BioCon, Vital N and Bio N on root length at seedling stage may be attributed to the microorganisms producing plant growth hormones which might have enhanced root growth under “dapog” seedbed condition. However, the beneficial effect on root growth was not sustained and reflected in the yield when the seedlings were transplanted in the field. Generally, results show that biofertilizers evaluated were not effective under anaerobic condition.
Genetic Diversity and Inbreeding in a Captive Population of the North Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor L.)
Authors: Quilicot Ana Marquiza , Baumung Roswitha
Published: November 2019

Information on the degree of inbreeding is very important in the effective management of captive populations of animals in zoos. For the North Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor), in particular, no report on this aspect is available. This study evaluated the effect of inbreeding on fitness traits and the possible occurrence of purging in a captive population of the leopard based on pedigree records of the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria covering the period 1955–2008. The significance of individual, sire or dam inbreeding on individual and litter fitness traits and litter size was analyzed using linear mixed models. Results showed that individual inbreeding significantly decreased survival at days 30 and 90 (weaning age) after birth, while litter inbreeding significantly decreased litter survival at days 7, 30 and 90. There was also a corresponding decrease in litter size when the dam was inbred. Purging of genetic load is possible with increased survival of the individual and litter when the dam was inbred. However, enhanced zoo management has to be considered with increased survival of individuals. Considering the unpredictable response of traits to inbreeding, designing breeding programs for captive populations should be geared toward maximizing genetic diversity and minimizing the rate of inbreeding.

The Philippines is now adopting information and communication technology (ICT) to promote agricultural sustainability and rural development. Among the development programs that apply ICT is the Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture (OPAPA) E-Learning Project by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), the agency mandated to spearhead research and development programs on rice. Following the most significant change (MSC) technique, this study was conducted to identify the most significant changes experienced by OPAPA E-Learning graduates composed of farmers, extension workers and agricultural science students. Results showed that respondents enrolled in the program to acquire knowledge of rice technologies, gain skills in operating a computer, update themselves about new farm technologies, and comply with academic and work requirements. Based on 20 MSC stories collected, the OPAPA E-Learning Project has led to the increase in knowledge of rice technologies and awareness of the program, improvement in school, farm and extension practices, and enhancement of computer skills. The Bennett Hierarchy of Program Outcomes revealed that the most significant change stories reported by the respondents correspond to higher levels of outcomes, indicating that the OPAPA E-learning Project has already made an impact in terms of improving its clientele’s knowledge and capability.

Cognitive impairment (CN) is widespread in migraines, but very little has been studied. There is evidence that these violations are present in patients with episodic migraine (EM) during an attack and in the interictal period. The purpose of this work was to study the prevalence of objective CN in patients with EM and chronic migraine (CM) during the period of minimal or absent pain. Methods. The study involved 74 patients with CM and 42 patients with rare EM (no more than four days of headache per month) aged 18-59 years. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Evaluation of cognitive functions was performed using the Montreal MoCA cognitive function evaluation scale, the DSST digit test and the Ray test of the RAVLT hearing aural learning. Results. in the CM group, there was a decrease in the results of the DSST, MoCA tests and the RAVLT general memory index compared with patients with EM. in both groups, the value of the latter indicator did not reach the standard. in 38 % of patients with chronic respiratory infections, the result on the MoCA scale did not reach the lower limit of normal. The absence of interrelations between the results of tests for cognitive functions and the levels of anxiety and depression was revealed. Conclusion. in patients with EM and CM, objective CNs are observed. Preventive therapy of EM is needed to reduce the risk of chronicity and progression of CN.

Currently, biliary sludge (BS) is considered as a pathological process associated with an increase in the lithogenicity of bile and according to the modern classification of gallstone disease referred to the prestone stage of the disease. In the mechanism of BS formation, the main role belongs to four factors: glut of bile with cholesterol, formation of crystallization nucleus, dysfunction of the gallbladder (contraction, absorption, secretion), violation of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Clinical manifestations in BS are most often associated with concomitant functional disorders of the biliary tract and chronic bacterial duodenitis with duodenal hypertension. The main directions in the treatment of BS are reduced to the restoration of the normal rheological properties of bile, the normalization of the motor function of the biliary system and the duodenum, the correction of the intestinal microbiome. The article discusses effective treatment regimens for BS depending on its morphological features and clinical course with the use of ursodeoxycholic acid or hofitol. The mechanism of Chophytol action (Mayoly Spindler, France) at BS is presented. The additional use of Meteospasmyl in the presence of intestinal antiseptic indications contributes to the rapid resolution of clinical manifestations in this pathology.

Among patients with psoriasis, approximately 50% are women and almost 75 % of them are under the age of 40 years. Thus, most women with psoriasis have childbearing potential. When pregnancy occurs in 22 % of patients, the activity of psoriasis persists, characteristic of the course before pregnancy, in 23 % of women, the course of the disease worsens. The article provides up-to-date data on the management of pregnant patients with psoriasis. To improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with psoriasis, it is important to prevent exacerbation of the disease. The choice of drug therapy in this case is based on an assessment of the ratio of the risk of undesirable effects of the drugs on the developing fetus and the risk of the development of exacerbation of psoriasis, which can cause an adverse pregnancy outcome. Despite the fact that the available clinical experience of using genetically engineered drugs is still limited, with a certain degree of confidence we can say that there is no increase in the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with therapy with certolizumab pegol.

Who Should Decide the Party’s Nominee? Understanding Public Attitudes Toward Primary Elections
Authors: Albert Zachary , La Raja Raymond
Published: November 2019

Primary elections in the US reflect the most inclusive nomination process among political parties across democracies. The desire for mass participation in party nominations appears embedded in a widespread populist ideal. It remains unclear, however, the extent to which voters believe that elites should be able to influence the process. Using data from the 2018 CCES we demonstrate that levels of political engagement, perceived ideological distance from the party, and partisanship predict the degree of support for popular selection of party nominees. We find key differences between the parties, with Republicans, particularly conservatives, more strongly opposed to elite influence. Surprisingly, most voters tend to have a pluralistic approach to selecting nominees, allowing for party officials and experts to weigh in on picking the party’s candidates. The findings have implications for how we conceive of political parties and the kinds of nomination reforms that might be embraced by voters.
