Effectiveness of electromagnetic monitoring in studying earthquakes
Authors: Piriyev R.H. 
Published: June 2021

Numerous researches conducted in connection with the study of earthquakes have shown that electromagnetic monitoring studies have led to some important results. From the Loma Prieta earthquake to the Guam earthquake, electromagnetic monitoring studies led to significant results. Since then, there have been numerous reports of possible elect-romagnetic precursors to earthquakes, some of which have involved frequencies covered by ELF/VLF (10—32 kHz) monitoring system Fraser-Smith et al. [1990]. Sometime later, they retrieved and started processing their ULF data. They had less reason to expect electromagnetic precursors in this latter data, because previous reports of precursory signals at frequencies below the ELF/VLF range have, with few exceptions, involved frequencies either below or predominantly below their ULF range (0.01—10 Hz) of operation. They found out that ELF/VLF data do not appear to show precursory activity, whereas ULF data contain a number of anomalous features that may prove to be earthquake precursors. The lack of observation of precursory ELF/VLF noise so close to the epicenters of several mode-rate to moderately-large earthquakes showed that ELF/VLF noise need not be a strong or obvious feature of every earthquake, as Fraser-Smith et al. [1990] reported in their paper.
At present, numerous studies have been conducted in this area and researches are being improved. From my experience as a young researcher, it became clear that electromagnetic monitoring research is necessary, and that more important and significant results can be achieved if continuous research is conducted in a certain area. Thus, these studies may play a significant role in the detection of earthquake precursors.

The modern stage of the latest metrological achievements is being intensively deve-loped in our country in new methodological directions that are based on new scientific and technical achievements. The using of metrologically certified devices of different types and with different metrological parameters increases the level of confidence in the results of these works, because the relative comparison of the results of these works allows potential customers to choose the most useful and effective method for obtaining the desired results. This article presents the results of joint scientific and technical works for the methodology of certification of the calibration developed and patented device and the results of using an already certified calibration device for metrological determination of accelerometer parameters, measurers displacements and velocities. This article also shows that one of the important areas of such work on the metrology of measuring devices in the area of seismology is also to determine the amplitude-frequency characteristics or amplitude-frequency and phase characteristics of different devices for measurement velocity, acceleration or displacement for the using of these devices in modern automated complex systems for determination of various parameters of seismic events such as regi-onal, local and teleseismic.
The article also presents comparative analyzes of experimental results of work on determining the frequency characteristics of the calibration device in different areas of measurements — displacement, velocity and acceleration. Obtaining these important results for assessing the state of various other seismological devices allowed experimentally do it for possible determination the presence of different types of physical differences in the regions of the same frequency range for displacement's and velocity's measurers. Compliance of the certificate with the requirements of the international metrological certification system ISO/IEC17025, obtained for the calibration device had been ensured by SE «Ukrmetrteststandart».

Authors: Koloskova O. , Bilous T. , Shevchenko N. , Bilyk G. 
Published: June 2021

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of achieving and maintaining control of bronchial asthma in children during dynamic observation, depending on the characteristics of the onset of the disease.
Material and methods. In order to study the peculiarities of the course and controllability of bronchial asthma in children, depending on the alternative onset of the disease, 319 children were comprehensively examined by the "experience-control" method in parallel groups using a simple random sample on the basis of the Regional Children's Clinical Hospital in Chernivtsi. In 257 patients (I clinical group), bronchial asthma developed on the background of chronic obstructive bronchitis, the II clinical group included 43 children in whom BA debuted after suffering community-acquired pneumonia, and the third (III) clinical group was formed by 19 children in whom BA was verified after inpatient treatment for status asthmaticus.
Research results. It was shown that the representatives of the III clinical group, compared with other patients, probably more often had the phenotype of early asthma and severe disease, and the ratio of the chances of severe asthma in the future for these children compared with the cohort of group I was 6.8. According to the results of self-assessment of asthma control on standardized questionnaires GINA and AST, as well as using a clinical-instrumental assessment scale, it was found that the level of disease control in all groups was insufficient, and the distribution of children in clinical groups in group III relative to other patients with partially controlled and uncontrolled asthma predominated. The conducted standard anti-inflammatory basic treatment allowed to achieve certain positive changes in patients of clinical observation groups, and the representatives of the III clinical group required more active basic anti-inflammatory therapy, in particular, the volume of the 1st step in GINA compared to patients of the I group was prescribed twice less often, and the 4th - 6.9 times more often.
Conclusion. Patients with the onset of bronchial asthma in the form of status asthmaticus further retain a worse level of control over the disease as compared to patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis or pneumonia in history. This cohort of patients requires a larger volume of basic treatment, as well as a personalized approach to prescribing therapy with the obligatory consideration of the characteristics of asthma onset.

The urgency of the topic declared in the article is due to the attention of modern Ukrainian pedagogy to the problems of health of children and youth, which, in turn, involves the study of creativity in particular Polish physicians and educators of the interwar twentieth century. The purpose of the article is to represent the organizational, practical and literary heritage of the physician, hygienist, public and statesman Stanislav Kopchynskyi (Polish: Stanisław Kopczyński; 1873–1933). The study used a set of general and special methods, namely: historical and pedagogical analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison of scientific sources, which became the basis for determining the degree of scientific development of the problem; concrete-historical method, which allowed to analyze and highlight the verified facts from the history of health education of students of secondary schools in Poland in a broad socio-cultural aspect; source analysis, source synthesis and biographical method, which contributed to the study of ideas, views and contributions of St. Kopchynskyi in the development of Polish theory and practice of school hygiene; for the reconstruction of fragments of the subject's activity the method of induction was used (the research began with the collection of facts, which were later systematized, analyzed and generalized). The study announces the «pre-war» professional and organizational experience of St. Kopchynskyi in the field of school hygiene, with which the scientist entered the «state» stage of his life, and characterizes the organizational activities of the hygienist during the interwar period of the twentieth century. Thus, the article contains the names of visitors to school hygiene and school doctors, who in the 20s ‒ 30s of the twentieth century. carried out systematic and purposeful work in the field of school hygiene and physical education, emphasized the scientific and educational activities of St. Kopchynskyi (the meaning of the so-called «Thursdays after the fifteenth» is detailed; the essence of systematic and appropriate hygienic education of secondary school students is outlined; the collection «Hygienic conversations. Methodical projects and instructions» is announced). It is concluded that St.Kopchynskyi represented a new paradigm of school hygiene, which provided a strong emphasis on the promotion of health among children and youth through education and upbringing and the involvement of students in active cooperation in nurturing their health.

Published: June 2021

The development of all spheres of life leads to the formation of new challenges of accessibility (physical, social, informational, etc.) facing people, including people with disabilities. Taking into account the development of the tourism sector in Transcarpathia, the study of accessibility of this environment for people with disabilities becomes relevant. The purpose of the article is to present a sociological section of the issue of accessibility of tourist infrastructure in the Transcarpathian region. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific sources on the state of the problem; presentation of the results of the sociological research &quot;Forests for society − forests without barriers&quot. The article presents the results of the project Forests for Society − Forests without Barriers (FOR SOC), which was implemented by partners from Ukraine, Slovakia and Norway under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism Program of Cross-Border Cooperation Priority. The project aims to establish a cross-border partnership to support tourism development and the promotion of tourist attractions, in particular in forest areas, together with capacity building in multifunctional forest management to provide social functions and offer services to forest visitors and tourists, including people with disability opportunities. The result of the analysis was the identification of the main problems in terms of accessibility of the tourism environment and the feasibility of using mechanisms (financial, information) in improving the opportunities for people with disabilities to visit these facilities. It has been established that the main obstacle in visiting the forest for all age groups of respondents is their limited opportunities and uncleared cluttered forest. It is important to take into account foreign experience in providing the tourism industry with modern information and communication technologies to improve opportunities to visit tourist sites. Ensuring «accessibility» is crucial and social, as it directly affects the use of the full range of human rights by persons with disabilities and other low-mobility groups; plays a key role in creating an inclusive society in which people with disabilities can participate in everyday life.

Authors: CHERNYSH Anna , HORBOLIS Larysa , POHREBENNYK Volodymyr 
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the specifics of the interaction of psychoanalysis and literary studies. It is proved that literary studies actively use fundamental psychoanalytic methods and techniques in decoding the mental unconscious of characters in literary works. Literary terms proposed for implementation and use – a literary work of psychoanalytic direction, a literary work with psychoanalysis elements, a literary work with thepsychoanalytic dominant orpsychoanalytic constructs certifying the integration of psychoanalysis theory into literary studies.
The use of certain aspects of psychoanalytic theory contributes to the literary interpretation of unconscious processes in the psyche of the author of the work and its characters, marked by various pathologies, deviations, neuroses, fears, etc. The article emphasizes that interpreting literary texts in the psychoanalytic aspect actualizes the method of free associations, close to the specific literary technique of the consciousness stream, as well as the specifics of interpretations of the dreaming discourse.

Authors: Sorkhi Farshad , Rostami Ramin , Ghassemi-Golezani Kazem 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This research was conducted as a combined analysis with four replications in two years (2018 ‒ 2019). Treatments were irrigation up to 90%, 50%, and 20% field capacity (as normal irrigation, moderate and severe water deficit stresses, respectively) and foliar application of natural regulators (untreated as control, salicylic acid, spermidine, and methanol). Increasing water deficit stress was led to a significant increase in essential oil percentage and proline content and a significant decrease in yield parameters and seed yield. Most of the traits (except the percentage of essential oil) were affected by natural growth regulators. The highest seed yield (1,127.59 kg/ha), plant biomass (5,426.92 kg/ha), essential oil yield (22.67 kg/ha), and proline content (29.34 μmol/g fresh weight) were obtained in methanol treated plants under normal irrigation. However, the highest amount of these traits under moderate and severe water deficit was recorded for salicylic acid-treated plants. Therefore, foliar spray of methanol was a useful treatment for non-stress conditions, but, application of salicylic acid was the superior treatment for reducing the negative effects of water deficit stress on Foeniculum vulgare.

Authors: Koco Štefan , BujnovsKý Radoslav 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], a recently rediscovered oil crop is becoming of interest to both industry and farmers due to its relatively wide use. The amount of camelina seed production is / will be influenced both by the demand from the industry and by the suitable conditions that allow its profitable cultivation. A preliminary insight on optimal part of the used arable land in Slovakia suitable for growing this crop was based on available information on the environmental requirements of camelina and the system of land evaluation units of agricultural soils. These data have been acquired from database managed and continuously updated by National Agriculture and Food Centre – Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute Bratislava. From this database information concerning the climatic region, slope, soil texture, soil depth, and skeleton content were used. The obtained results show that approximately 27% of the acreage of utilised arable land has optimal quality for spring camelina cultivation in Slovakia. If camelina will be used for the production of various biobased materials, on a smaller scale (several thousand hectares) it is possible to grow this crop without a significant restriction of the cultivation of other crops, especially those intended for food and feed production. In case of camelina utilisation as a feedstock for conventional biofuels production, it is necessary to take into account its competitiveness compared to oilseed rape, which is currently the main raw material for FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) production, both in terms of profitability of cultivation and CO2 emissions per tonne of oilseed yield.

Authors: Ayad Hicham 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Research background: The aim of this paper is to examine the long run relationship among oil prices and the Algerian Dinar exchange rate over the period January 1995–February 2020 in Algeria as one of the most important oil-exporting countries and one of the OPEC members.

Purpose: This study investigated the co-integration relationship between oil prices and exchange rate in Algeria by testing the long-run relationship between the two variables and their positive and negative shocks.

Research methodology: the study applied both the traditional co-integration analysis using Engle-Granger, Phillips-Ouliaris and Johansen-Juselius tests and the hidden co-integration presented by Granger and Yoon (2002).

Results: The results revealed that there is no evidence of a co-movement and linkage between oil prices and exchange rate in Algeria over the period of study neither with the original series nor between the cumulative components whatever the dependent variable.

Novelty: This paper fills in the missing link between the Algerian Dinar exchange rate and oil prices especially with the absence of the hidden co-integration analysis in the case of Algeria and most of the developing countries. To deal with the oil shocks according to Apergis and Miller (2007) and Narayan and Gupta (2015) studies where when they suggested distinguishing between the negative and positive oil price shocks because the asymmetric effect on the macroeconomic variables.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

Research background: One of the main ways companies gain and maintain a competitive advantage in many markets is to introduce product innovations. The degree of their acceptance by consumers is determined by many factors, among which the level of consumer innovativeness is of great importance. The paper presents the results of a study on consumer innovativeness of the adult inhabitants of the Poznań agglomeration.

Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to recognize the relationship between consumer innovativeness and consumer’s personal characteristics and to advance knowledge regarding consumer innovativeness.

Research methodology: The research was carried out using the direct interview technique with the use of an interview questionnaire, on a sample of 795 adult inhabitants of the Poznań agglomeration.

Results: The results show that there is a directly proportional relationship between consumer innovativeness and education or material status and an inversely proportional relationship between consumer innovativeness and age in the pro-innovative dimension. The results indicate that there are statistically significant differences in consumer innovativeness between groups based on respondents’ personal characteristics – gender, age, level of education and material situation. The results however are ambiguous.

Novelty: The novelty of the study is based on the verification of the relations between consumer innovativeness and their selected personal characteristics, with the example of Poland.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

Research background: The traditional function ascribed to a modern financial institution is to mobilize resources among the two units (surplus and deficit) of the economy. This can be achieved when financial institutions wake up to this responsibility and act as the pillar upon which other institutions can rely on.

Purpose: This study examined the impact of bond market development on the growth of the Nigerian economy from 1986–2018.

Research methodology: Data were analysed using the co-integration bounds test approach while the robustness of the estimates was also checked.

Results: Government bond exhibited an insignificant positive relationship; corporate bond and value of bond traded were positive and statistically significant (prob. <0.05) while bond yield indicated a negative relationship with the growth of the Nigerian economy.

Novelty: The study found that corporate bond and the value of bond traded were the major variables that increased the depth of bond market development in Nigeria. Therefore, policymakers in Nigeria should encourage the issuance of more corporate bonds to further enhance the efficiency of bond markets development.
