Анотація. Побудова високоефективної національної інноваційної системи передбачає розвиток державної наукової діяльності та інноваційної діяльності промислових підприємств. Мета дослідження — визначити вплив упровадження інновацій на зростання фінансових ресурсів підприємств. Розгляд літературних джерел засвідчив, що підприємства, які впроваджують інновації з метою вдосконалення своїх процесів та диференціації своїх товарів і послуг, значно випереджають конкурентів за ринковою часткою, якістю, гнучкістю процесів виробництва та обслуговування.
З метою всебічного вивчення впливу інноваційної діяльності на прибутковість підприємств було досліджено взаємозв’язок між узагальненими показниками реалізованої інноваційної продукції, валовою доданою вартістю і валовим прибутком підприємств. Результати проведеного аналізу показали, що інноваційна діяльність є важливим фактором економічного зростання підприємств. Було встановлено, що виробництво інноваційної продукції сприяє зростанню фінансових результатів підприємства. Для аналізу загальних показників ефективності інноваційної діяльності підприємств України було також проаналізовано залежність обсягу реалізованої інноваційної продукції від загального фінансування інновацій, було виявлено низький рівень ефективності інноваційної діяльності українських підприємств, що є негативним фактором, який стримує фінансове зростання підприємств. Аналіз діяльності промислових підприємств, які здійснювали інноваційну діяльність, дозволяє зробити висновок, що у структурі діяльності інноваційних напрямів відбулися значні зміни. Важливим завданням інноваційного розвитку промислових підприємств сьогодні є впровадження нових технологій виробництва і зберігання, що дають змогу створювати якісну та безпечну продукцію. Для залучення іноземних інвестицій підприємствам важливо розвивати інновації, які розв’язують глобальні економічні, промислові, соціальні проблеми.

Vobtusine is an aspidosperma-aspidosperma alkaloid isolated from alkaloid DCM base fraction of the bark of Voacanga foetida (Blume) Rolfe (Apocynaceae). In this study, the effect of vobtusine on the cell cycle, apoptosis induction, and Bcl-2 family protein expression were investigated by flow cytometr, DNA fragmentation analysis, and western blotting, respectively. The results of cell cycle analysis indicated the ratio of the number of cells in each phase did not have significant differences depend on vobtusine concentration although cell number in G1 phase had tendency to decrease according to the increasing of vobtusine concentration. Besides, the sub-G1 phase population of HL-60 cells treated with vobtusine was increased compared with that of cells without treatments (5.9%-23.8%). DNA fragmentation was observed from 20 µM, and the degree of fragmentation was dependent on vobtusine concentration. Caspase-3 activity increased 4.6 times compared to control. After being treated with caspase-9 inhibitor, vobtusine-induced elevation of caspase-3 activity decreased. This shows that caspase-3 activity depends on caspase-9. Vobtusine was also induced apoptotic cell death involved a mitochondrial by Bid activation and Bcl-xL downregulation. Therefore, vobtsusine-induced apoptosis process was initiated by caspase-9 via change of Bcl-2 family protein expression and executed by caspase-3, followed by cell death due to their proteolytic activity. These results indicated the mechanism action of vobtusine as anti-cancer compound via intrinsic pathway.

Specifics of logit and probit regression in education sciences - why wouldn't we use it?
Authors: Opic Sinisa 
Published: December 2020

Regression is one of the dominant analysis methods used in the social sciences and educational sciences. There are different regression methods based on the type of research that is being conducted. The probit and logit regression models are regression methods which are being used recently by most researchers. However, their interpretations are not straightfoward and most researchers end up misinterepreting the results from the probit and logit regression models. This research therefore aims to examine the differences between the probit and logit models, in comparison with other linear regression models. Using a comparative research design, this study utilises resources from previous researchers, hence, the study took a form of a literature review. The results of this study is essential to educational and social sciences researchers who make use of the probit, logit and other regression methods. The research also explains why logit and probit should be used in place of other regression models.

Student and teacher engagement in Learning and assessment with portfolios
Authors: Phothongsunan Sureepong 
Published: December 2020

Assessing student knowledge and success during and after teaching and learning is an embedded part of education since it offers important specifics for teachers. This action research was undertaken to inquire about students’ and teachers’ attitudes to portfolio assessment in their English courses. Two methods were employed, including a student portfolio attitude survey and a teacher survey. It was found that most students had a clear understanding regarding how a portfolio was made and admitted that the portfolio could assist them in learning how to write better in many aspects. Likewise, most teachers found the portfolio to be practical mainly in indicating students’ problems and monitoring their learning progress. Implications from the study point to the need for training students to have skills important for using a portfolio as a life-long learning tool and for encouraging language teachers to use various forms of assessment to help students engage more in learning and ensure that targeted learning outcomes are achieved.

Published: December 2020

This article examines the mathematical model of divorce. This model consists of four population classes, namely the Married class (M), the population class who experiences separation of separated beds (S), the population class who is divorced by Divorce (D), and the population class who experiences depression or stress due to divorce Hardship (H). This study focuses on the stability analysis of divorce-free and endemic equilibrium points. Local stability was analyzed using linearization and eigenvalues ​​methods. In addition, the basic reproduction number is provided via the next generation matrix method. The existence and stability of the equilibrium point are determined from . The results showed that the rate of interaction between population M and populations other than H is very influential on efforts to minimize divorce. Divorce can be minimized when the transmission rate is reduced to . Reducing the transmission rate and increasing the rate of transfer from split bed class to married class can turn divorce endemic cases into non-endemic cases. A numerical simulation is given to confirm the analysis results.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies suggest that men exhibit a higher mortality rate to COVID-19 than women, yet the underlying biology is largely unknown. Here, we seek to delineate sex differences in the gene expression of viral entry proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2, and host transcriptional responses to SARS-CoV-2 through large-scale analysis of genomic and clinical data. We first compiled 220,000 human gene expression profiles from three databases and completed the meta-information through machine learning and manual annotation. Large scale analysis of these profiles indicated that male samples show higher expression levels of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 than female samples, especially in the older group (>60 years) and in the kidney. Subsequent analysis of 6,031 COVID-19 patients at Mount Sinai Health System revealed that men have significantly higher creatinine levels, an indicator of impaired kidney function. Further analysis of 782 COVID-19 patient gene expression profiles taken from upper airway and blood suggested men and women present distinct expression changes. Computational deconvolution analysis of these profiles revealed male COVID-19 patients have enriched kidney-specific mesangial cells in blood compared to healthy patients. Together, this study suggests biological differences in the kidney between sexes may contribute to sex disparity in COVID-19.
