The Role of Monitoring in Sustainable Development
Authors: Smilka Vladyslav 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The field of sustainable development has global goals focused on the repletion of wants of natural resources for present-day generations in terms of sustainable consumption so that future generations can meet their needs. Sustainable development can be achieved by substantially transforming national agency systems. The aim of the research is to determine role of monitoring and evaluation in the system of sustainable development of the territory. The methods used in this study are general scientific techniques and methods – analysis, logical access method, monographic and other methods. Some international standards for sustainable development have been adopted today. Monitoring and targeted indicator ratings are measures that promote sustainable development. The following conceptual approaches to monitoring can be distinguished for the purpose of monitoring: 1) monitoring as information and analytical support for the management decision support system; 2) monitoring aimed at generating new knowledge; 3) monitoring as a system for tracking quantitative and qualitative changes; 4) monitoring as sequential activity algorithm; 5) object state on-line monitoring; 6) proactive monitoring. Aims should be set to manage the sustainable development process and evaluate the effectiveness of the tools used to achieve it. Sustainable development indicators are necessary to establish the degree of responsibility of their values to the criteria for sustainable development.

Abstract
Creativity is an important component of the economy for modern cities, and necessary condition for it is the qualitative understanding of the economic theory science. In the global competition, it plays an important role for the economic growth dynamics, which is directly related to human resource role in the modern economy. The competitiveness of the territories depends on their attractiveness to economically active individuals and the opportunities they provide with economic growth. When considering the creative and cultural industries as potential economic development factors in the urban economy, culture can be considered as a new stage in urban development based on quality of life, creativity, which provide a level of degree for balance and determine the stability of the growth potential. The development of supporting urban infrastructure is identified as one of the drivers for expansion of the cultural and recreational domains both for the political and economic development. They reflect the specific characteristics of each city, the competitiveness versus attractiveness potential, and demonstrate the potential shift from the environment for production to a potentially new consumer environment with a higher “symbolic value”. The creative industries today can serve as an urban development domain tool, creating a modern approach to economic activity in various sectors of the economy. The authors draw attention to the cluster link between creative and cultural industries in urban planning. The authors propose a methodology for assessing revenues and costs, as well as recommendations for the work of cultural organisations and institutions involved in creating a creative urban environment. The article presents data and modelling results of the economic impact calculations for two imagined cities in order to theoretically approbate the methodology, which would help assess the socio-economic effect of the development of certain clusters. The aim of the research is to identify the impact of culture and creativity on the economy of city. The calculated information for decision makers would help formulate recommendations, evaluate potential developments of the urban environment, assist in planning and networking in urban agglomerations, based on clusters of creative and cultural industries, as the post-industrial city needs to make changes in order to achieve economic growth. The development of urban cluster of creative and cultural industries has a certain multiplicative effect, i.e., impact on the development of other types of economic activity.

Authors: Challoumis Constantinos 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The paper deals with the methods used by companies for controlled transactions in services. The author performs an analysis of the ways a company that takes part in controlled transactions of transfer pricing can tackle tax issues using an adequate tax method. Services should comply with the arm’s length principle. Therefore, the best method rule and the comparability analysis have a critical role in the arm’s length principle of services. The paper compares the results of transfer pricing services with the transfer pricing of goods to conclude the similarities. The object of the paper is to determine the importance of the application of fixed length principle, meaning the application of additional tax for controlled transactions and declined tax for uncontrolled transactions. Therefore, this scrutiny showed that the unstable tax environments force enterprises to proceed to controlled transactions.
Classification of forecasting methods in production engineering
Authors: Winkowski Cezary 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Business management is a continuous decision-making process. It is difficult to imagine a company that does not use forecasting techniques. Even small enterprises without relevant forecasting departments more or less consciously anticipate future events, forecasting the volume of production and setting directions for development. Today’s production companies must quickly adapt to changing customer requirements, implementing structural and technological changes and delivering projects related to the production of new products. Under the dynamically changing conditions, the functioning and effective management of modern enterprises depend on future-oriented information. This increases the validity of forecasting. This article aimed to identify forecasting methods and areas of their use in production engineering. The publications on this subject were reviewed in the Scopus database, using the time frame from January 1970 to June 2018. An original classification of research subareas was created using VOS viewer software, and then, a bibliometric map was developed to visualise the results of the word coexistence analysis. The analysis of the co-occurrence and co-classification of words made it possible to indicate research subareas of forecasting in production engineering and related emerging research areas and issues.

Published: December 2019

Background:
Despite recent advances in management of acute liver failure (ALF), morbidity and mortality are still significantly high. Management strategies amongst others involve determination of etiology and greater than 50% of cases often require liver transplantation.

Case Presentation:
A 36-year old Cameroonian male presented to our facility (a tertiary level health institution in Cameroon) with 10 days history of gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting) for which he auto-medicated with herbs and intravenous cefriaxone for 3 days. Two days prior to the presentation he developed yellowish discoloration of the eyes which prompted consultation. His evolution inpatient was marked by development of ALF Lack of necessary diagnostic tools and intensive care unit substandard care led to worsening of ALF. The patient died on day 6 of hospitalization.

Conclusion:
The case presented brings to lamp light the dificulties encountered in making an aetiologic diagnosis for ALF and the substandard care provided in patients with ALF in resource-limited setings. A lot still needs to be done to empower facilities in developing nations in care of ALF.

Key words: acute liver failure, diagnosis, management, pitfalls, case report.
Factors Influencing Prescribing Perceived Utility of Drugs: Experiences from Iraqi Kurdistan
Authors: Abdulah Deldar , Perot Karwan Ali 
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Pharmaceutical expenditures have increased dramatically in most developed and developing countries in recent decades. Healthcare system policymakers have expressed concerns about the inappropriate, irrational, or harmful prescribing of drugs.
Objectives: The attitudes of physicians towards prescribing generic drugs and predictors of perceived utility of drugs were investigated in the present study.
Methods: In this cross-sectional research, 77 physicians at different levels of job hierarchies, working in various public sector shifts, were recruited to participate in a survey of their attitudes toward prescribing generic drugs in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2018. The doctors were located in a general, an emergency, and a pediatric hospital. A self-administered structured questionnaire was designed based on the extended technology acceptance model for product use (TETPU).
Results: The doctors agreed that drugs should be prescribed according to their utility for patients (median [M] = 5.0; interquartile range [IQR] = 2.9). Most of the physicians mentioned that they prescribed drugs according to the patients’ needs (75.0%), evaluation of the availability of alternatives (69.0%) and consumer perceptions of a price (69.0%). The analysis showed that (1) the importance of physicians’ perceptions and their recognition of patients’ need achievement (P=.012), (2) the physicians' recognition of the actual use of drugs by consumers (P=.030) and (3) being male (p=.009) were associated with perceptions of drug utility.
Conclusions: The study’s results suggest that perceived drug utility in prescription writing is associated with physicians’ perceptions of need achievement and attitudes toward how patients actually use medicines.

Authors: Varela María Teresa , Duarte Carolina , Salazar Isabel Cristina , Lema Luisa Fernanda , Tamayo Julián Andrés 
Published: December 2019

Purpose: To describe physical activity (PA) practice in college youth from some Colombian universities, and to identify its relation to their motivations (to do it, to not do it, and to change it), and the available resources. Method: A total of 1811 students between 15 and 24 years of age from six Colombian universities participated. The Physical Activity scale from the College Youth Lifestyle Questionnaire was used. Results: It was found that 22.2% of the students have PA practices. The main motivations to practice PA were «to benefit health» (45.8%) and «to look better» (32%), while the reason to not practicing it was «laziness» (61.5%). PA was higher in those who were satisfied with the changes they have made and are planning to maintain them (66%), and in those that have some resources, such as sports accessories, time, abilities, psychical skills, good health status, psychical activities and sports' offer and knowledge on how to perform well. Conclusions: The results show that to prevent and to modify sedentary lifestyles in young individuals, it is necessary to incorporate aspects such as motivations to change and obtaining of resources.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is a global health priority. About 40% of new infections occur among heterosexual youth by means of sexual contact. In Cali, commune 13, 15 and 20 account for 11.5% of the prevalent cases and 18.0 % of incident cases. Objective: To establish any differences in risk behaviors for HIV among young people 15-24 yrs of age from two areas of Cali, Colombia.
Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study among young people between 15 and 24 yrs of age in these communes. The selection was done with a two-stage probability sampling. We estimated the prevalence of sexual relationships without condom usage, sex with multiple partners, and sex under the effects of alcohol and through logistical regression we identified the related factors.
Results: In communes 13, 15 and 20, the prevalence of unprotected sexual relationships in the last 12 months and the prevalence of sex with two or more partners was 70%; and 38% of young people had sex under the effects of alcohol. In both areas, the intention was positively related to the risk behaviors. We found socio-demographic factors, intentions, and beliefs that increase the opportunity to display these behaviors. The effect of these factors differs by commune.
Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of risk behaviors for HIV related to socio-demographic factors, intentions and beliefs that warrant interventions appropriate for local realities.

Objective: to observe the relationship between socioeconomic status, height and nutritional problems related to obesity, overweight and risk of metabolic complications in men and women of Medellin (Colombia).Methods: cross-sectional study with a sample of 5,556 adults between 18 and 69 years of age. We assessed weight, height and waist circumference. Socioeconomic variables were evaluated by family income, socioeconomic stratum and academic level achieved.Results: we found that in men and women the height reached in adulthood is associated with socioeconomic conditions as measured by the socioeconomic strata and family income. In women, height, age, and socioeconomic strata are associated with obesity, overweight and risk of obesity, and risk of metabolic complications.Conclusion: These results are not only from individual unhealthy habits, such as eating patterns based on high density foods combined with low energy expenditure, but also from the cumulative effect of food deprivation throughout life. Therefore, policies intended to prevent them should take a preventive approach that begins before birth and continues during childhood and adulthood.
Beginning of the end of Onchocerciasis in the Americas
Authors: Palma Gloria Ines , Bernal Sofía Duque , Nicholls Ruben Santiago 
Published: December 2019

Onchocerciasis, also known as River Blindness, is a parasitic disease caused by the nematode Onchocerca volvulus and transmitted by black flies of the genus Simulium. It is endemic in Africa, where an estimated 37 million people are infected. It is almost certain that the slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries brought onchocerciasis from West Africa to the Americas (1), where transmission foci where established in six countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia. Since the beginning of the 20th century it was suspected that this vector borne disease was present in Colombia but the first confirmed case was not reported until 1965. The exact location of the single focus in the country was confirmed almost thirty years later in the locality of Naicioná, on the stream that bears the same name

There are two Artisanal Small scale Gold Mining (ASGM) location in Lamuntet, Brang Rea Subdistrict, West Nusa Tenggara Regency, namely Nglampar and Song location. Nglampar and Song location are included in the low sulfidation epithermal gold deposit system. The research purposes to analyze mineralogy and geochemistry of gold vein deposits and determine system of low sulfidation gold ore in Nglampar, Lamuntet Village. The methods used to determine the mineralogy of gold vein deposits are petrography, mineragraphy and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis, while geochemical analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fire Assay (FA) and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that the minerals contained were quartz (Qz), sericite (Ser), Chalcedon (Chc), chlorite (Chl), pyrite (Py), sphalerite (Sph), galena (Gn) , gold (Au), chalcopyrite (Cp), argentite (Ag), arsenopyrite (Apy), Azurit (Az), Malakit (Mal) and bornite (Bn). Abundant mineral availability such as sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite are characterized by high levels of Zn, Pb, Cu and As the metal in vein deposits. This can be seen on the chemical content of ore in gold vein deposits ie Au 0.1 ppm -27.8 ppm, Ag 3 ppm-185 ppm, Pb 101 ppm - 35,800 ppm, Zn 73 ppm-60,200 ppm, Cu 26 ppm - 1,740 ppm, and As 150 ppm - 6,530 ppm. Based on the results of SEM-EDS analysis shows that the type of gold mineral is the electrum because of the content of Ag> 20%. Based on those characteristics of the mineralogy and geochemistry in this study showed that low sulfidation gold ore in this area is categorized as polymetallic gold-silver system.

Published: December 2019

The Cisuru area is located in Talegong Sub-district, Garut Regency, West Java, Indonesia which is belongs to the central part of Southern Mountain Slope. The aim of this research is to understand the nature and characteristic of fluid inclusion from quartz veins (especially drill core samples) in the study area. Rock units in the area are characterized by Tertiary volcanic rocks and volcaniclastic sequence which is mainly composed of andesite, andesitic breccia, volcanic breccia, lapilli tuff, dacite and related to the intrusion of diorite. The Cisuru epithermal mineralization is dominantly hosted by andesite, dacite, breccia and lapilli tuff, and would probably be controlled by both permeable rocks and NS and NE-SW trending strike-slip faults. The mineralization is shown as void filling and replacement within the silica zone, veinlets along with the open space/fractures and dissemination. Fluid inclusion from quartz veins was studied to know nature, characteristics and origin of hydrothermal fluids. Microthermometric measurements of fluid inclusions were realized by using a Linkam THMSG 600 combined freezing and heating stages. Homogenization temperature and final ice melting temperature were measured for primary two-phase inclusion from quartz veins. Base on the study of the fluid inclusion, the value of homogenization temperature (Th) range from 200 ºC to 395 °C and ice melting temperature range from -0.1 to - 4.5 where salinity range from 0.2 to 7.2 wt. % NaCl equivalent. Fluid inclusion petrography and microthermometric measurement data exhibit that fluid mixing, dilution and boiling were main processes during the hydrothermal evolution. The formation temperature of each quartz vein is 260 ºC to 290 ºC and also their formation depth is estimated between 560m to 925m respectively. Combination of fluid inclusions petrography, microthermometric measurement, and estimate paleo depth from Cisuru area were suggested under the epithermal environment.

ABSTRAKKawasan pantai utara Kabupaten Serang telah berkembang dengan sangat pesat, terutama menjadi kawasan industri, pelabuhan dan permukiman. Kawasan pantai utara Kabupaten Serang mempunyai potensi tsunami, meskipun tidak sebesar yang berada di bagian barat yaitu pada kawasan Selat Sunda. Kawasan pantai utara Kabupaten Serang tersebut meliputi kecamatan-kecamatan Pulo Ampel, Bojonegara, Kramatwatu, Pontang, Tirtayasa, dan Tanara. Kawasan tersebut sebagian besar termasuk dalam zona bahaya tsunami sedang dan rendah. Tsunami pada kawasan tersebut bersumber dari gempa dengan episenter yang berasal dari Selat Sunda dan Samodra Indonesia, aktivitas letusan Gunung Anak Krakatau serta longsoran bawah laut. Pengalaman bencana tsunami di Selat Sunda tahun 1883 dan 2019 menjadi pembelajaran bersama untuk lebih siap dalam pengurangan risiko bencana. Peta bahaya tsunami di kawasan pantai utara Kabupaten Serang sangat diperlukan dalam perencanaan penataan kawasan yang aman berkelanjutan serta untuk perencanaan mitigasi bencana secara komprehensif.
