State regulation of the art market: global trends, experience of various countries and prerequisites for regional economic growth
Authors: Koltsova Anna , Pashkus Vadim , Pashkus Natalia , Pashkus Margarita 
Published: December 2021

Background of Research: In a global economy, where individual regions, cities and countries cannot demonstrate their uniqueness and attractiveness, the presence of a developed art market on their territory can contribute to the growth of their competitiveness. A well-developed art market is highly profitable itself and it has a strong impact on the intangible companies, cities and countries involved in deals, tradesmen or organizers and hosting global art events. As a result, the global attractiveness of economic entities, their products and services increases significantly.
Purpose of the article: In this article, the problem of finding effective measures of state regulation of the market. and prerequisites for regional economic growth.
Methods: The paper presents a comparative analysis of measures of state regulation of works of art, applied in different countries, used econometric methods and methods of matrix hierarchical analysis.
Findings & Value added: With the help of econometric dependencies, the indirect influence of the high activity of the country’s art market and its turnover on the growth of the country’s GDP through both direct financial influence and additional qualitative dependencies is substantiated. Regularities of the influence of a developed art market on the brand of the territory and the region to which it belongs are obtained, which allows us to propose a mechanism for the formation of a positive image of the city, region and country in the global economy, as well as the development of the attributes of its cultural brand.
Problems of ensuring the competitiveness of the region in the conditions of COVID-19
Authors: Pashkus Vadim , Volkova Anna , Maltseva Yulia 
Published: December 2021

Research background: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its global consequences, a fundamentally different economic environment arises, which requires the use of new approaches to the formation of the economic policy of the region and the identification of new ways to ensure the global competitiveness of the region. Territories are beginning to compete for previously unclaimed resources, as well as use new methods of promotion and positioning.
Purpose of the article: The purpose of this work is to identify new economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, as well as to assess the impact of these conditions on the effectiveness of the economic policy of the region and the applied promotion and positioning strategy.
Methods: The methods of this study are determined by the increasing level of uncertainty of regional development processes, which requires the adaptation of analysis tools. The work uses matrix and hierarchical research methods that allow for a qualitative analysis of problem situations.
Findings & Value added: The research carried out made it possible to identify and systematize the main characteristics of the new economic environment and assess its impact on the applied development strategy of the region, which guarantees a higher probability of achieving strategic competitiveness. The novelty of the study lies also in the recognition of the mobilization effect of “forced digitalization”, while in the context of a pandemic, this mobilization was based on stable (stereotypical) interaction practices.

Authors: Kicová Eva , Poniščiaková Oľga 
Published: December 2021

Research background: If globalization presents really a new and not reversible process that creates a more homogenous world, strategies of enterprises should appropriate to this phenomenon, too. European legislation has significantly contributed to the creation of the mutual market and increasing freedom of movement of services within the European Union. This paper examines the issue of using the BSC system methodology in the strategic management of a selected non-profit organization. The aim is to explain the importance and essence of the BSC system methodology in the strategic management of a non-profit organization, to analyse the application and knowledge of the BSC system methodology in practice of selected organizations in Slovakia and apply the essence of the method in strategic management of selected non-profit organizations. The non-profit organizations are an important part of the public sector, which in the form of various activities, in particular the providing of various services, performs tasks related to addressing manifestations of market imbalances. In contrast to the “traditional” business sector (profit sector), the task of the non-profit sector is not to generate profit but to provide consumer tasks.
Purpose of the article: The objective of the article is to clarify and present the specifics of functioning and management of non-profit organizations in the conditions of the Slovak Republic.
Methods: During the elaboration of the paper, the methods of compilation of analysis, synthesis and description were used on the basis of the search of the relevant literature. Part of the paper is a survey, which we conducted through a questionnaire on a selected sample of non-profit organizations in the Slovak Republic.
Findings & Value added: The results of the survey we have transported into general practice recommendations for non-profit organizations to improve their operating in the conditions of Slovakia while accepting the process of globalization.
Analysis of the top companies’ performances in the different sustainability rankings
Authors: Profiroiu Marius Constantin , Gole Iulian , Rădulescu Carmen Valentina 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Since the end of COP 21 in Paris 2015 and even before, there is a huge interest for big companies to see their names at the top of the different ranking, as sustainability leaders. It is not only a matter of pride but also a business interest to promote sustainability values. The countries engage themselves to reduce global warming but this can only be done by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Multinationals companies are in the position to bring a huge contribution to this objective. In this paper, we will try to evaluate different rankings done by various organisations, different companies that are in top positions in order to understand the real advancement.
Purpose of the article: We want to see what is similar but also what differentiates one company from another. We will also analyse what the main key performance indicators are, used in to assess the evolution over time and how the companies are communicating their progress. We want to demonstrate if there is any common ground among different rankings or if there are huge differences in terms of results.
Methods: Using descriptive and comparative analysis we demonstrate that different companies are entitled as champions of different rankings, using different metrics.
Findings & Value added: In a global world, we can see that there is an important commercial interest of companies to appear in front of clients and investors as upholders of sustainability. Showing off a label of sustainability leader can help in doing business but it is not always corresponding with reality.
Gender inequality on the labour market in the Czech Republic
Authors: Vesela Kamila , Krizek David 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Even though we live in the 21st century, where society is no longer expected to treat women and men differently, the reality is unfortunately different. Gender differences can be observed in virtually every country in the world. In some aspects of gender inequality, the Czech Republic is doing relatively well, for example, in terms of equal access to education, but in other areas it is doing much worse. In the Czech Republic, gender inequality is manifested in particular in the gender pay gap and on the labour market situation, where female unemployment is higher than male unemployment.Purpose of the article: This article analyses gender inequality in the Czech Republic on the labour market. The aim of this article is to evaluate the state, development and estimate the future direction of the labour market with an emphasis on gender inequality.Methods:Using time-series analysis of the number of applicants at the labour offices, it assesses the status and development of gender inequality in the labour market. The analysis also includes a prediction of future developments, where the author seeks an answer to the question whether the gender gap in this area is decreasing or increasing over time.Findings & Value added:The analysis showed a persistent trend of higher unemployment among women compared to men. However, this gap is decreasing in the long term.
Country selection and aid allocation: A case of the Czech Republic
Authors: Dufková Gabriela 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Donors provide development aid from various reasons: while some of them might give aid based on the recipient´s needs, some countries pursue their own agendas with their development programmes. Visegrad Group countries are mostly considered as egoistic donors that try to support security in the East European region and promote their trade.
Purpose of the article: This article draws back on the existing literature that focused on the motives behind the Czech development aid and examines influence of both egoistic and altruistic variables to determine which of these variables are important for the selection of countries to the aid portfolio and the allocation of aid funds. The researched variables are: number of asylum seekers, debt to the Czech Republic, Czech exports, unemployment in the developing countries, political and civil rights, and enrolment to the secondary education.
Methods: Probit-tobit analysis and a generalized linear model are employed in this paper.
Findings & Value added: The results suggest that egoistic economic motives (debt and Czech exports) are important factors for both country selection and aid allocation, while the number of asylum seekers affects only the aid allocation. As per the altruistic reasons, the country selection depends on the unemployment rates, political and civil rights and the enrolment to secondary education. The aid allocation depends also on the unemployment rates, political and civil rights, and the ratio of girls enrolled to the secondary education.

Published: December 2021

Research background:Having recognized the SDGs as the most important direction of globalization processes’ implementation, we point out that assessing the results of world progress in this direction is important both in terms of assessing its dynamics and as a new technology of global governance. Assessment (both as an institution and as a management technology) is a new type of analytical and coordination interactions between countries, which is just beginning to emerge.Purpose of the article:The publication has three goals. The first is to present Voluntary national SDG reviews (VNRs) as an emerging institution for assessing and managing of global development. The second is to describe methodological approaches of their assessment, presenting them as a continuous improvement of methodology and methods that reflect new requirements for the VNRs analyses. The third is to assess the VNR of the RF (Russian Federation) - 2020, taking into account official and unofficial judgments, views from within and external experts.Methods:The publication as a whole follows an institutional approach. It provides a comparative generalization of methodological approaches to the VNRs assessment, presents expert judgments that allow to outline the compliance of VNR RF-2020 with the new valuation principlesFindings & Value added::The publication will present a general scheme of VNR institutional understanding, a comparative analysis of traditional and new methodologies for their assessment and will propose systematic (comprehensive) assessment of VNR RF-2020.
The global drone market: main development trends
Authors: Kapustina Larisa , Izakova Natalia , Makovkina Elizaveta , Khmelkov Michail 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Many countries of the world announced increasing the use of drones for civil and military purposes. An important feature of the drone market is that it is an “ecosystem”“, which includes software developers, integrators, component manufacturers, etc. By 2025, the capacity of the global unmanned aerial vehicle market will grow by 3 times.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the study is to identify current trends in the development of the global market of unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial use.
Methods: A significant part of the necessary statistical data is closed for public access, due to the fact that most of the UAVs produced are part of the military-industrial complex or “dual-use” goods. Only 23.6% of all UAVs produced can be classified as civilian or commercial products. Market development trends using economic statistic methods were determined based on the data of the reports “The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in International Trade and their Regulation”, Drone Industry Insights, the analytical agency Mordor Intelligence, “Global Drone Regulations Database”.
Findings & Value added: The USA, China and France are the leaders in the production of commercial and consumer drones. The rating of drone manufacturers is led by: DJI (China), SenseFly / Parrot SA (France), Yuneec (China), 3D Robotics (USA). The largest purchases are made by the USA, China, Russia, Great Britain, Australia, France, Saudi Arabia, India and South Korea. Significant growth in the use of drones is expected in medicine, logistics and delivery.
Features of Logistics Development in the BRICS countries
Authors: Nekhoroshkov Vladimir , Aroshidze Alyona , Majercak Peter , Kurenkov Peter 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Brazil, Russia, India, China, as well as South Africa (BRICS) have such economic potential that, according to the expert community, by 2050 they may become the dominant economies of the world. The aim of the scientific contribution is to analyze the BRICS countries about Logistics Performance Index (LPI).
Purpose of the article: Using the diagnostic matrix method, the analysis of the logistics development of the BRICS countries according to the estimates presented above makes it possible to characterize them according to each criterion, as well as to form a general characteristic. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the delta of the indicator for each criterion for each country for the selected study period.
Methods: We suggest using the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and Emerging Market Logistics Index (EMLI) ratings as an information base for analyzing the logistics development of the BRICS countries. The LPI rating is calculated every two years by the World Bank, which, together with the University of Turku, developed it in 2007.
Findings & Value added: As the analysis has shown, even within the framework of integration groups, such as the BRICS, the level of logistics development is quite different. The undisputed leader according to LPI is China, which bypasses other countries of the grouping not only in terms of the level of infrastructure development, in which some of the world's largest financial investments are made, but also in the quality of logistics services, customs and border clearance, organization of international transport, cargo tracking. timeliness of their delivery.

Authors: Schultheiß Maximilian , Steinhorst Nils Alexander , Dippel Susanne , Spitzer Martin S. , Poli Sven , Feltgen Nicolas 
Published: December 2021

ZusammenfassungDer retinale Zentralarterienverschluss stellt mangels etablierter evidenzbasierter Therapie eine der wenigen bisher ungelösten ophthalmologischen Probleme dar. Ein vielversprechender
kurativer Ansatz ist die intravenöse Fibrinolyse mit dem Ziel der raschen Wiederherstellung der retinalen Perfusion. Die aktuelle Studienlage empfiehlt eine Therapieeinleitung innerhalb von
4,5 h. Dieses Fenster wird aufgrund von Verzögerungen in der Diagnostik (z. B. der Zeitverlust bis zur augenärztlichen Untersuchung) und der anschließenden Prozessierung der Patienten
(Weiterleitung in ein spezialisiertes Zentrum) häufig verpasst. In dieser Arbeit stellen die Autoren ein differenzialdiagnostisches Hilfsmittel in Form eines Frage- und Untersuchungsbogens
vor, mit dessen Hilfe die Zeit bis zur möglichen Therapieeinleitung deutlich verkürzt werden könnte.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Purpose To determine if childhood obesity has an effect on the ocular surface and tear film of children who are afflicted.
Methods Patients who had childhood obesity, 85 eyes, and patients who were healthy, 75 eyes, were enrolled in this prospective and comparative study. The tear film breakup time
(TF-BUT), tear meniscus area and height (TMA and TMH) values, Schirmer test scores, and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores were obtained for all participants.
Results The TMH, TMA, TF-BUT, and Schirmer test results were statistically significantly lower in the obesity group (p < 0.001 for all). The children with obesity and insulin
resistance had lower TMH, TMA, TF-BUT, and Schirmer test results when compared to the children without insulin resistance (p < 0.05 for all). The body mass index was found to be
correlated with the TMH, TMA, TF-BUT, and Schirmer test results (p < 0.001 for all).
Conclusion Children with obesity had lower TMA, TMH, TF-BUT, and Schirmer test results than healthy subjects. When insulin resistance was added to obesity, these values were even
lower.

Abstract
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a devastating pandemic that may also affect the nervous system. One of its neurological manifestations is intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Data about pure spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage related to COVID-19 is scarce. In this study, we present some patients with COVID-19 disease who also had spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage along with a review of the literature.
Methods This single-center prospective study was done among 2,862 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) between March 1 and November 1, 2020. Out of 2,862 patients with SARS-CoV-2, 14 patients with neurological manifestations were assessed with a noncontrast brain computed tomography scan. Seven patients with spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage were enrolled.
Results All seven patients were male, with a mean age of 60.8 years old. Six patients (85.7%) only had minimal symptoms of COVID-19 without significant respiratory distress. The level of consciousness in two patients (28.5%) was less than eight, according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Hypertension (71.4%) was the most common risk factor in their past medical history. The mean volume of hematoma was 41cc. Four patients died during hospitalization, and the others were discharged with a mean hospital stay of 42.6 days. All patients with GCS less than 11 died.
Conclusion It concluded that ICH patients with COVID-19 are related to higher blood volume, cortical and subcortical location of hemorrhage, higher fatality rate, and younger age that is different to spontaneous ICH in general population. We recommend more specific neuroimaging in patients with COVID 19 such as brain magnetic resonance imaging concomitant with vascular studies in future. The impact of COVID-19 on mortality rate is not clear because of limited epidemiologic studies, but identifying the causal relationship between COVID-19 and ICH requires further clinical and laboratory studies.
CT Appearances in Treated Abdominal Tuberculosis: A Radiologist's Dilemma
Authors: Rathi Vinita , Yadav Varun , Deep Bonny S. , Bhatt Shuchi , Giri Subhash 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Objective To study the CT appearances of the abdomen after completion of antitubercular therapy (ATT) in adult patients.
Methods Multidetector CT scan abdomen was done in 20 adults within 1 month of completing ATT. CT appearances were compared with pretreatment scans which were available in 7 cases.
Results We found that residual ileocecal wall thickening and enhancement was significant (p < 0.05) after treatment in cases of ileocecal tuberculosis (TB). Mild decrease in wall thickness and diameter of the involved dilated small bowel loops was seen. Numerous large, matted nodes with necrosis persisted in the mesentery and retroperitoneum in treated TB, but reduction in the size of nodes was appreciated.
Conclusion Our results help to fill the vacuum in the database of CT appearances in treated abdominal TB. Persistence of bowel changes and lymph nodes should not be mistaken for recurrence of TB or residual disease.
A Rare Case of Complex Hernia Causing Urethral Obstruction
Authors: Agrawal Vivek , Bagla Chinmay 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAbdominal wall hernias rarely cause obstruction of the urinary tract. We present the case of a patient undergoing regular smooth dilatations for urethral stricture since 8 years who developed right inguinoscrotal swelling and narrowing of urinary stream since 2 years of age. There was a growing difficulty in dilatation due to path distortion of urethra by the hernia. He had a history of open suprapubic cystostomy (SPC) 8 years ago. The patient refused surgery till he landed with an inability to pass dilators and difficulty in passing urine. He was taken up for right inguinal exploration with internal optic urethrotomy (IOU). Intraoperatively, he was found to have right inguinal hernia with incisional hernia at the site of SPC which was repaired and a cystoscopy revealed urethral deviation with anterior urethral stricture for which IOU was done. Postoperatively, the patient's urethral tract straightened and his urinary complaints resolved. A complex hernia can cause urethral deviation and obstruction due to pressure effects of its contents and should be repaired at an early stage.
