Authors: Kobylynska T. V. , Momotiuk L. Ye.
Published: November 2022

The methodological and methodical foundations of enhancement of statistical assessment on the progress in achieving sustainable agricultural development and its environmental consequences requires an integrated statistical approach. Thanks to statistical analysis and evaluation it is possible to obtain a complete picture of the functioning of such a complex and dynamic system, develop means of influencing the totality of agricultural relations in order to reduce harmful effects on the environment and eliminate the negative environmental consequences of agricultural activities.

The article assesses the progress in achieving the targets for the sustainable development of agriculture in Ukraine with the help of indicators that ensure the filfillment of the objectives set. The quality of the available information support of monitoring is analyzed. In accordance with the given national targets by 2030, the actual reach of individual indicators that guarantee the implementation of the outlined objectives and targets for sustainable agricultural production was assessed.. It is noted that the main national indicators used to determine the implementation of the task are the indicators of the availability of a balanced diet at the level of reasonable standards for certain segments of the population.

It is stated that the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) form a wide range of economic, social and environmental challenges. Although global SDGs are not legally binding, countries take them into account and develop national measures to achieve them. It is noted that not all global indicators of SDG were relevant for Ukraine as for a number of indicators there are gaps in data sources, their metadata and information support for their monitoring. It is stated that during the process of introduction of national indicators the priority was given to the data that are produced on an ongoing basis within the framework of official statistics using approved methodologies and classifiers. In order to identify potential sources of the data to better reflect the sustainable development of agriculture, a comparative evaluation of global and national indicators, the achievement of which will ensure the implementation of the SDG was conducted.
The Influence of Management Decisions on the Capital Structure Optimization of Ukrainian Agricultural Enterprises
Authors: Lemishko О. О. , Blazhevich А. М.
Published: November 2022

The article defines the influence of management decisions on the capital structure optimization. A statistical analysis of the dynamics and capital structure of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises for 2016–2020 is presented. It is established that effective capital management is aimed at forming its optimal structure. Based on the capital functioning diagnostics, it is determined that despite the increase in the share of the agricultural enterprises’ equity capital in the total capital, the profitability of equity capital decreased significantly. This proves, among other things, ineffective management of the agricultural enterprises’ capital structure. It is shown that increasing the profitability of not only the total capital, but also each of its components (own capital, borrowed capital), is the main indicator of the capital structure optimization, and, accordingly, of the management decision-making appropriateness. It is substantiated that the enterprise’s efficiency activity is determined by the functioning of its capital, and the correctly chosen capital management enterprise’s strategy allows ensuring financial stability and high profitability indicators. It is proven that an effective system of managing the agricultural enterprises’ capital structure is subject to the definition of the hierarchy and sequence of capital management levels. It is established that at the strategic level of capital management, it is very important to define the tools for developing the chosen management strategy, taking into account the specifics of agricultural production; the implementation of capital management tactics is subordinated to the stabilization of the agricultural enterprises’ resource base, including through the marketing policy formation and enterprise policy on the financial market. It is substantiated that operational management decisions are aimed at optimizing the level of financial risk associated with attracting loan funds and increasing their share in the structure of the agricultural enterprises’ aggregate capital.
Inclusion of Individuals with Special Educational Needs to the Education Environment of Institutions of Vocational (Technical and Vocational) Education: the Experience of Developed Countries and the Situation in Ukraine
Authors: Liesnikova М. V.
Published: November 2022

The process of inclusion involves the comprehensive involvement of students with special educational needs in the educational environment of a vocational (technical and vocational) education institution (hereinafter – V(VT)E), which is the basis of inclusive educational environment. Developed countries, in particular the countries of the European Union, make a lot of efforts to create an inclusive educational environment in P(VT)E institutions. Individuals with special educational needs (hereinafter – SEN) are fully included in the educational environment of P(VT)E institutions in the EU countries. For all institutions, a single educational program for obtaining P(VT)E is used, with the possibility of its individualization for students with SEN. In the vast majority of the considered countries, special support programs for applicants with SEN are operating. All individuals with SEN, according to individual needs, study in main (ordinary) V(VT)E institutions, in specialized V(VT)E units as part of the main institution, and in specialized V(VT)E institutions. An individual educational program is drawn up for each applicant with the SEN, which contains detailed information about the qualifications that such a person must acquire, an individual educational plan, the necessary teaching aids, preparatory and rehabilitation instruction and instructions, as well as a list of social services provided to the applicant(s) during studies. In Ukraine, students with SEN study in mixed inclusive groups in regular V(VT)E institutions according to specially developed educational programs. A team of psychological and pedagogical support works in the V(VT)E institution to support such individuals. Currently, there are active processes of inclusion of students with SEN in the educational environment of the V(VT)E institution. The pedagogical community believes that students with SEN, regardless of age, can master any skills of their choice, and does not agree that a student who misbehaves should be excluded from the V(VT)E institution. At the same time, there is a problem with the accessibility of V(VT)E institutions, because not all institutions are adapted to the visit of students with special needs. In order to improve the existing situation and achieve comprehensive inclusion of the SEN axis in the educational environment of V(VT)E institutions, it is necessary to: update morally outdated educational equipment; updating the content of educational programs in accordance with the individual needs of each applicant; increasing the level of popularization of V(VT)E among school-aged youth; expanding access to special teachers (for example, a sign language interpreter, a typhologist, a special education teacher, a psychologist); expansion of architectural accessibility of V(VT)E institutions; development of visual and practical teaching aids and educational literature for students with SEN.

Authors: Sokolenko L. F.
Published: November 2022

The activities of public sector institutions are an area, which is sensitive to the fraud risks. This is due to the significant use of budget funding, the existence and access to state property. Fraud and corruption are serious threats to the functioning of the public sector because of the potential financial and reputation damage and consequences from fraud for the institution. The application of international standards and best practices of public sector audit will allow to detect and prevent cases of fraud. It will help to save budget funds and state property. The research is based on the results of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, texts of international auditing standards on public sector audit (ISSAI) and national regulations of Ukraine. The study used cases of fraud with budget funds basing the information from the reports of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine for 2018-2021. Therefore, there may be no direct visible evidence of fraud, and the auditor should pay attention to identifying fraud risks, including third parties’ testimonials, to consider the results of previous public audits, to provide interviews with management and employees of organization. The general procedure for detecting fraud during a public sector audit is determined in paper. It includes the range of steps, that should be done by public sector auditor: fraud risk assessment at the audit planning stage; identification of transactions for which audit procedures should be performed; audit evidence gathering, assessment of their sufficiency and acceptability and conducting additional procedures (if necessary); consideration of audit evidence and the formation of an opinion on the existence of fraud facts; communication on the information to those who are endowed with the highest authority at the object of audit; consideration of competent authorities to be informed of the existence of fraud at the object of audit. This will help to structure the audit work during the public sector audit and to determine the logic of the auditing process based on the assessed risks of fraud, and to achieve results of auditor procedures, that could be evaluated.

Published: November 2022

The aim – to develop a new approach to the assessment of LV systolic function – LV systolic performance index. To check correlation of this index with left ventricular ejection fraction determined by standard Simpson planimetric method.Materials and methods. A total of 121 patients were included into the study. We first determined left ventricular ejection fraction by Simpson method for each patient included in the study, and then determined VTI in the LVOT and myocardial motion velocity in four LV parts. We evaluated the correlation of these indices with left ventricular ejection fraction and derived a hybrid index of LV systolic function performance based on stepwise multiple regression.Results and discussion. The myocardial velocity in four LV parts, its averaged value and velocity time integral in LVOT not only showed a high level of correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction, but appeared also its independent predictors in multivariate analysis. The hybrid formula «0.7 × Sum of MV + VTI» derived in our study provides an index of LV systolic function performance. A good correlation of the new index with left ventricular ejection fraction determined by Simpson (Kendall’s tau 0.818; p <0.00001) was revealed.Conclusions. We proposed a new index of LV systolic function estimation and showed that it allows reliable estimation of LV systolic function in various myocardial pathologies with less time.

Published: November 2022

The magnitude of the effect of adverse weather conditions on road operational performance varies with the type of weather condition and the road characteristics of the road links and adjacent links. Therefore, the relationship between weather and traffic is always a concern to traffic engineers and planners, and they have extensively explored ways to integrate weather information into transportation systems. Understanding the influence of weather on operational performance and safety helps traffic engineers and planners to proactively plan and manage transportation systems. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of adverse weather conditions on travel time reliability and crash occurrence, by severity, using weather data, road data, travel time data, and crash data for North Carolina. The methodology and results from this research are useful for transportation system managers and planners to manage the traffic and improve safety under different weather conditions. They also help improve the functionality of weather-responsive management strategies like variable signs to indicate the change in reliability and safety under rainfall and low visibility conditions.
Transverse shear of an isotropic elastic medium in the case when the binder and inclusions are weakened by crack initiation
Authors:   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Baku, Azerbaijan, MEKHDIEV Alekber K. , MEKHTIEV Rafail K.
Published: November 2022

An elastic medium is considered, weakened by a doubly periodic system of round holes, filled with absolutely rigid inclusions, soldered along the bypass and has a crack initiation. The medium (binder) is weakened by two periodic systems of rectilinear crack initiation directed collinear to the abscissa and ordinate axes, and their sizes are not the same. General representations are constructed that describe a class of problems with a doubly periodic stress distribution outside circular holes and cracks under transverse shear. The analysis of the limiting equilibrium of cracks in the framework of the end zone model is carried out on the basis of a nonlocal fracture criterion with a force condition for the propagation of the crack tip and a deformation condition for determining the advancement of the edge of the end zone of the crack. Basic resolving equations are obtained in the form of infinite algebraic systems and three nonlinear singular integro-differential equations. The equations in each approximation were solved by the Gaussian method with the choice of the principal element for different values of the order of M, depending on the radius of the holes. Calculations were carried out to determine the forces in the connections of the end zones and the ultimate loads causing the growth of cracks.

Solidarität aus relationstheoretischer Sicht. Eine Replik auf die kritische Begriffsanalyse von Lukas Eble
Authors: Schäffter Ortfried
Published: November 2022

Ebles Begriffsanalyse wird in ihrem impliziten Argumentationsverlauf relationstheoretisch rekonstruiert. Hierbei wird erkennbar, dass er sich hin zur Dreiwertigkeit wandelt, das Konzept einer widerständigen ‚Beziehungsweise‘ jedoch keine entsprechende Transformation erfährt. Es deutet sich nun eine Sicht auf Widerständigkeit an, in der nicht allein Solidarität gegensteuernd wirksam ist. Die mehrwertige Funktion einer korrektiven Aussteuerung wird erst am Konstrukt eines ‚Rejektionswerts‘ ersichtlich.
Solidarität als widersprüchliche Beziehungsweise in emanzipativen Bildungsprozessen. Eine Replik auf Lukas Eble
Authors: Robert Pfützner Robert
Published: November 2022

Die Replik greift Ebles Konzeption von Solidarität als widerständige Beziehungsweise auf und wendet sie auf pädagogische Beziehungen in Bildungsprozessen an. Dabei wird Ebles These vom Primat der Bildung gegenüber der Solidarität umgedreht und argumentiert, dass das Verhältnis zwischen beiden historisch und in sozialen wie politischen Prozessen eher umgekehrt ist. Systematisch wird, sobald Bildung und Solidarität in Erscheinung treten, für eine dialektische Fassung des Verhältnisses plädiert, die die Widersprüchlichkeit des Solidaritätsbegriffs in seiner Bedeutung für Beziehungen innerhalb von Bildungsprozessen verdeutlicht.

Intersektionale Genealogien von Intersektionalität. Europäisch-jüdische Erfahrung, African American Women’s History und Gerda Lerners „Black Women in White America“ (1972)
Authors: Kallenberg Vera
Published: November 2022

Anknüpfend an aktuelle Forschungen, die Intersektionalität für jüdische Studien und Antisemitisforschung adaptieren, zeigt dieser Essay die Verflechtung zwischen europäisch-jüdischer Erfahrung und der Entstehung der Black Women’s history in den USA zu Beginn der 1970er Jahre. Dabei fokussiert er Leben und Wirken Gerda Lerners, eine der maßgeblichen Protagonistinnen der Frauengeschichte in den USA und darüber hinaus. Am Fall von Lerners „Black Women in White America“ (1972), eine der ersten Anthologien zur Geschichte Schwarzer Frauen in den USA, erweitert der Beitrag zum einen bisherige Genealogien von Intersektionalität, indem herausgearbeitet wird, wie eine aschkenasische-jüdische Frau Wiener Herkunft eine race und class bewusste Frauengeschichte entwickelte und damit eine intersektionale Frauengeschichte avant la lettre praktizierte. Zum anderen zeigt es „Black Women in White America“ als einen der ersten Austragungsorte von Konflikten um die Legitimität von Sprechpositionen und das Eigentum an intellektueller Arbeit, wie sie heute prominent verhandelt und mit aller Schärfe geführt werden.

Published: November 2022

The current study examined the relationship between different styles of parenting, anxiety and school refusal behavior in children. The study was conducted with a sample of 150 school going children from different public and private schools and 150 of their mothers. The age range of children was 5-13 years with a mean of 6.38 years (SD = 2.04). The parenting styles of mothers were determined using Parenting Styles Scale. Anxiety in children was determined using Spence’s Children’s Anxiety Scale and school refusal behavior was determined using School Refusal Assessment Scale-R. A cross-sectional research design was used for this research and data was collected from children in groups, while mothers were approached individually. The data was then analyzed using correlation, regression and ANOVA. The study yielded a significant relationship of controlling and avoidant parenting styles with anxiety in children. A significant negative relationship was also found of supportive and aggressive parenting styles with anxiety in children. A significant positive relationship of avoidant and aggressive parenting styles was found with function 1 of school refusal. Moreover, a significant negative relationship of supportive and compassionate parenting styles was found with functions 1 and 2 of school refusal. Gender differences were also found for anxiety. This research has future implications for parents, therapists and school psychologists.

Published: November 2022

Social and cultural pressures play a significant role in the development of depressive disorders. Women are at a greater risk of experiencing depressive disorders because they always become the subject of social and cultural pressure. This paper presents the case study of a 23-year-old female who developed symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) due to cultural constraints. Initial pre-testing and therapist observation of the client’s verbal and non-verbal attitude / behavior confirmed the diagnosis of MDD. Diagnosis was made according to DSM-5. After initial intake interview, psychological tests including House-tree-person (HTP), Thematic Apprehension Test (TAT), Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank (RISB), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and Clinical Structured Interview (CIS-R) were administered on the client. After exploring the causal factors of her problem and conducting diagnostic sessions, therapeutic sessions were also conducted. Some techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy were selected for the client based on the strong empirical evidence available that advocates for their use in effectively treating depressive disorders. After achieving the goals of psychotherapy set at the first session with the help of the client as well as gaining satisfactory results of post-testing and therapist observation of the client’s progress, psychotherapy was terminated. Follow up sessions were conducted to monitor the progress of the client. Our research study has clinical and community implications.

Background and Aim: Every year, traumatic brain injuries lead to more than one million admissions to emergency rooms and more than 50,000 deaths, and millions of disabilities worldwide, among all ages and genders. This study aimed to examine the effects of selenium added to oral nutritional therapy on the mortality rate and length of hospital stay in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for six months. Methods and Materials/Patients: This clinical trial included 100 patients admitted to the ICU of Loghman Hakim Hospital, Tehran, Iran. These patients were then randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. Standard oral solutions were administered to both groups according to recommended guidelines. Along with the standard nutritional intake, the participants in the intervention group were given 1000 μg of selenium (Selenase-Biosyn, Germany) on the first day of feeding, dissolved in 100 mL of normal saline for 30 minutes, followed by 500μg of selenium daily for 10 days. We screened patients for GCS, and APACHE-II scores, as well as cortisol levels on days 1 and 10. Results: The APACHE-II mean score on the 10th day was significantly different between the two groups, and this was also true before the intervention. In terms of mortality rates, there was no significant difference between the control group and the intervention group. Neither the control group nor the intervention group spent significantly more time in ICU. Conclusion: The effects of selenium on other variables were unclear, although mortality rates did not differ significantly between the two groups. Considering the confounding variables through regression analysis, the APACHE-II variable was negatively impacted by selenium, but taking into account the significant effect of age, a definitive conclusion cannot be made.

Published: November 2022

Background and Aim: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)-based tractography can help us visualize the spatial relation of fiber tracts to brain lesions. Several factors may interfere with the procedure of diffusion-based tractography, especially in brain tumors. The current study aims to discuss several solutions to improve the procedure of fiber reconstruction adjacent to or inside brain lesions. Illustrative cases are also presented. Methods and Materials/Patients: The paper is a narrative review of methods that can improve DTI-based fiber reconstruction in the area of brain tumors. To provide up-to-date information, we briefly reviewed related articles extracted from Google Scholar, Medline, and PubMed. Results: We proposed five techniques to improve fiber reconstruction. Technique 1 is a very low Fractional Anisotropy (FA) application. Technique 2 includes resampling techniques, such as q-ball and High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI). Technique 3 is the reconstruction of fiber tracts by defining the separated Region of Interest (ROIs). Technique 4 explains the selection of the ROIs according to functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) since the anatomical configuration is distorted by neoplasm. Technique 5 consists of using unprocessed images for preoperative planning and correlation with the clinical situation. Conclusion: DTI tractography is highly sensitive to noise and artifacts. The application of tractography techniques can improve fiber imaging in the area of brain tumors and edema.

Bu çalışmada, Brucella ovis’e karşı humoral yanıtın değerlendirilmesinde kullanılmak üzere, bu bakterinin farklı antijenik fraksiyonlarından hazırlanan antijenlerin karşılaştırılmasıyla bir Enzyme -Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) prototipinin geliştirilmesi amaçlandı. Bu amaçla, dört farklı antijen (Hot salin ekstrakt, Rough Lipopolisakkarit, Faj lizat 1 ve Faj lizat 2), 84 koyun serum örneği ile test edildi. Brucella ovis açısından ELISA seropozitiflikleri, kullanı- lan antijenlere göre sırasıyla %14.3, %13.1, %10.7 ve %15.5 olarak saptandı. En yüksek pozitiflik oranı Faj lizat 2 ile elde edildi, ancak, Brucella ovis’e karşı oluşan antikorların ELISA ile belirlenmesi için kullanılan 4 farklı antijenin test sonuçları arasındaki farklılık, istatistiki açıdan önemsiz (χ2=0.89; P>0.05) bulundu. Sonuç olarak, gelecekteki çalışma- larda, Faj lizat 2 antijeni kullanılarak ELISA ile test edilen çok daha fazla serum örneği için elde edilen sonuçların, komplement fikzasyon testi ve agar jel immunodifüzyon testi gibi standart testler ve temin edilebilecek ticari kitlerin sonuçları ile karşılaştırılmasına ihtiyaç duyulacağı ve böylece in house ELISA prototipinin ticarileşme potansiyelinin daha sağlıklı olarak değerlendirilebileceği kanısına varıldı.

The waste problem in Indonesia is still a problem that has not been resolved until now. The increase in population will also be accompanied by an increase in the volume of waste from human activities. The problem of plastic waste has become common, especially in big cities, suburbs and rural areas. Efforts to recycle plastic waste have been continuously carried out, especially for rural communities, but village communities often underestimate the recycling of plastic waste. This is due to the lack of counseling and guidance on independent and creative businesses and efforts to recycle plastic waste into useful products. One of the efforts to recycle plastic waste is to make bricks which raw material comes from plastic waste. In the process of making plastic bricks, there is a burning process, but this will not cause environmental pollution. Sidodadi Village located in Batang Kuis, Deli Serdang, is an area that has the potential to grow fast. Therefore, the development of Sidodadi Village in the social and economic aspects can be done by developing creative industries. To follow up on this effort, the USU community service team offers a teaching program on making bricks from plastic which can be used as a product of creative industry businesses with various advantages, including to reduce air pollution and environmental pollution.
