Financial and economic development link in transitional economies: a spectral Granger causality analysis 1991?2017
Authors: Skare Marinko , Porada-Rochoń Małgorzata 
Published: March 2019

Research background: The relationship between financial development and economic growth has been attracting attention in the field of economics since the times of the ?great moderation?. Previous empirical studies still fail to put forward a general conclusion on whether and how financial development affects economic growth. This is particularly true due to the lack of empirical research on the matter in question for countries in transition.
Purpose of the article: This study aims to contribute to bridging the gap in the financial development-growth nexus in transitional economies. Understanding the mechanism behind financial development and economic growth should assist policymakers in the design of efficient economic policies or avoiding/alleviating financial cycles.
Methods: Using Granger causality test in frequency domain, which shows to have more power over standard time domain Granger causality test, as well as gross domestic product (GDP) and the monetary base (M2 ? intermediate money), we investigated the finance-growth relationship in 19 Central, East, and Southeast European countries (CESEE) from 1991 to 2017.
Findings & Value added: Study results show that financial development is important for growth in CESEE countries, thus supporting the ?supply-leading? theories in general for countries in the sample. Our findings indicate that the relationship between financial development and economic growth exists in CESEE countries (with one exception ? the Czech Republic) ranging from unidirectional (Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Belarus, Estonia, Macedonia, Russia, Turkey), to bi-directional spectral Granger causality (Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine).
Spatial wage inequality and its sectoral determinants: the case of modern Russia
Authors: Malkina Marina 
Published: March 2019

Research background: We assume that the dynamics of spatial wage inequality can be caused by both shifts in the sectoral structures of regional economies and changes in inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral (inter-regional) wage inequality.
Purpose of the article: The paper is aimed at analysis of the sectoral factors influenced the spatial wage inequality in Russia in 2005-2014.
Methods: The employment-weighted Gini coefficient was applied for assessment of spatial wage inequality; the modified Lerman-Yitzhaki technique allowed to decompose it by main economic activities and their determinants; the mixed methods of factor analysis was used to evaluate the contribution of sectoral determinants to regional wage convergence in Russia.
Findings & Value added: We found a weak and inconsistent convergence of Russian regions in average wage over the period under review and explained it by the opposing forces in the main economic activities. The spatial convergence was basically created by mining, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and transport and communications activities, while wholesale and retail trade, financial intermediation and real estate operations counteracted it. The convergence was mainly facilitated by a reduction in inter-sectoral differences in wages as well as by rapprochement of the employment structures in some economic activities of Russian regions. In the meanwhile, the migration of labor force from lower wage to higher wage activities negatively affected the smoothing regional differences. Ultimately, intra-sectoral wage inequality and wages correlation in various activities rather preserved inequality. The results are applicable in the management of spatial inequality both at the regional and national levels.
Limitations in availability of food in Ukraine as a result of loss and waste
Authors: Kotykova Olena , Babych Mykola 
Published: March 2019

Research background: The commitment to increasing the volume of agricultural production remains the main strategy for food supply in Ukraine. In fact, such an approach does not solve the problem of the limitation of food?s physical availability. It works quite the opposite way, as there is a guaranteed food loss and waste, worsened environmental situation and decreased level of economic availability of food.
Purpose of the article: According to the results of the empirical study, the volume of food shortages has been determined as a result of food loss and waste, food surpluses in case of compliance with the rational consumption norms and zero food loss and waste, as well as potential social benefits from reducing food loss and waste.
Methods: The research of the limitation of the physical availability of the different types of products as a result of food loss and waste was carried out according to the methodology developed by the authors. In particular, for the group of products in which the consumption deficit is established in a small number of regions ? the main indicator is the "production surplus in the conditions when the rational consumption norms and zero food loss are met"; for the group of products in which the consumption deficit is established in the vast majority of regions ? the main calculation indicators are the "production shortage in the conditions when the rational consumption norms and zero food loss are met" and the "specific gravity of the consumption shortage, which occurs as a result of food loss and waste".
Findings & Value added: The obtained results are crucially important for shaping of the food security policy. Reducing of the food loss and waste has positive social consequences through the expansion of the physical availability of food, which, under other conditions, leads to greater economic availability of products, as well as contributes to the gender equality and poverty reduction for rural residents.

Published: March 2019

Research background: Promotion of the entrepreneurship has an important role in the society, and the direct relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth of the country is proven. Universities education should be one of the pillars to build the business environment and the entrepreneurial propensity of the students in the entrepreneurship.
Purpose of the article: The paper aimed to define and quantify significant factors that shape the entrepreneurial propensity of university students and create the entrepreneurial propensity index. A part of this aim was a comparison of defined factors in the Czech Republic (CR), Slovakia (SR) and Poland (PL).
Methods: The survey-based research was conducted with students in the last year of their economic studies on the universities. 1,352 students from 25 universities in selected countries were approached during research. A custom Entrepreneurial Propensity Index was created that was implemented separately for CR, SR and PL.
Findings & Value added: The research brought interesting findings. The aggregated Entrepreneurial Propensity Index in the Czech Republic reached the value of 0.470, which was higher than that of Slovakia (0.424) and Poland (0.412). The evaluation of the quality of university education is similarly positive in all countries (CR: 0.659, PL: 0.589, SR: 0.592). Czech students gave access to the financial resources and the role of macroeconomic environment got a higher rating than Slovak and Polish students. On the contrary, Poland students gave the social environment and business advantages a higher rating than Czech and Slovak students. The evaluation of the personality traits is more positive in Slovakia. The most positive indicator for all students is that doing business enables to make use of own abilities and own solutions.
Comorbidity in multiple sclerosis: Past, present and future
Authors: Marrie Ruth Ann 
Published: March 2019

Purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative condition affecting the central nervous system. Like many neurologic diseases, it is chronic and incurable, and confers a substantial burden on affected individuals, their families and society. Although many individuals suffering from a serious chronic disease also suffer from comorbid conditions, the important consequences of their interaction often receive little attention. This was particularly true for MS two decades ago. Broadening our perspective by better understanding the effects of comorbidity on an individual with a particular chronic disease offers us an opportunity to improve understanding of prognosis, personalize disease management, develop new therapeutic approaches and illuminate the pathophysiology of disease.
Source: Studies examining the incidence, prevalence and outcomes related to comorbidity in MS will be discussed, along with areas requiring further investigation.
Conclusion: Comorbidity is highly prevalent in MS throughout the disease course. Comorbid conditions, including depression, anxiety, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and chronic lung disease, adversely affect a broad range of outcomes. Less is known about the effects of MS on outcomes related to these comorbid conditions. These findings highlight an urgent need to determine how to best prevent and treat comorbidity in MS.
История библиотечного дела сквозь призму отечественных диссертационных исследований: библиометрический анализ
Authors: Pleshkevich Evgeniy A. 
Published: March 2019

The aim of the article is to present an overview of generation, formation and development of the history of domestic librarianship, since the late 1930s until 2018, basing on the study of materials of dissertations. In the course of analysis, the author revealed 1064 theses in the field of library science and related areas, 270 of which are devoted to the history of librarianship. The article shows that dissertations research on the history of librarianship in the initial period from 1930 to 1950 occupied up to the half of all library dissertation theses; about a third of them were created in the period from 1951 to 1970 and a quarter — since 1971 to the present. This indicates that interest to the history of librarianship is stable. The article reflects the peak of historical research that fell on the period from 2001 to 2010. The author suggests that 25% indicator level of historical studies of the total number of research works on library science is a necessary and sufficient level to ensure the development of library science in general.The article notes multidisciplinary nature of dissertations research: 60% of studies defended in pedagogical sciences, 37% — in historical sciences and slightly more than 3% — in other branches of science. The article reveals the gradual increase in the number of prepared and defended dissertation theses in historical sciences, which contributes to the expansion of research space in the history of library construction. The author carried out periodization of dissertations research. It is shown that the main attention was paid to the research studies on the history of Soviet period in library construction.

Abstract
Paper describes the procedure for developing academic programs which are properly aligned to the requirements of the knowledge-based economy. The paper also addresses the continuous quality improvement (CQI) process with the CQI loop closing on the program level and the course level. This process is needed to make continuous adjustments to an academic program, so that the program is always aligned to the constantly-changing needs of the economy. Paper also discusses the system of mutual dependency between the academic program and external partnership like local industry, secondary schools, local government, local community, regional business incubator center, other educational institutions, alumni and industrial advisory council. The ongoing collaboration with external partners allows the program to prosper and grow.
Bending fatigue strength coefficient the low carbon steel with impurities
Authors: Lipiński Tomasz 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study investigating the effect of the number of fine non-metallic inclusions (up to 2 μm in size) on the fatigue strength of structural steel during rotary bending. The study was performed on 7 heats produced in an industrial plant. Fourteen heats were produced in a 100 ton oxygen converter. All heats were subjected to vacuum circulation degassing.
Steel sections with a diameter of 18 mm were hardened and tempered at a temperature of 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600°C. The experimental variants were compared in view of the applied melting technology and heat treatment options. The heat treatments were selected to produce heats with different microstructure of steel, from hard microstructure of tempered martensite, through sorbitol to the ductile microstructure of spheroidite. The results were presented graphically, and the fatigue strength of steel with a varied share of non-metallic inclusions was determined during rotary bending. The results revealed that fatigue strength is determined by the relative volume of fine non-metallic inclusions and tempering temperature.

Cranial venous sinus anatomy is fundamental in neurosurgery and radiology, especially in surgical planning and treatment of neurological diseases. In this study, we aimed to study the morphometric relationship of the transverse sinus with sigmoid sinus groove and jugular foramen and imply if this relationship could aid in diagnosing the transverse sinus thrombosis. This is a retrospective analytical study conducted in our center among 30 patients who underwent Computed Tomography (CT) venogram during a period of 1 year. Diameter of transverse sinus and sigmoid groove at midpoint, and diameter of jugular foramen as it enters the skull base were collected. Relation of transverse sinus with sigmoid sinus groove and jugular foramen was analyzed. There were 60 transverse sinuses in the study with left and right being 50% (30 each). Mean age of patients collected was 53.20 years. There were 43.3% male and 56.7% female patients. Diameter of the Transverse sinus has statistically significantly linear relationship with the diameter of the sigmoid sinus groove and jugular foramen (p<0.001) and was positively correlated (r= 0.651 and 0.624 respectively). Diameter of the transverse sinus has significant positive linear correlation with the sigmoid sinus groove and jugular foramen.

Insights into the bioactive compounds, antioxidant potential and TLC profiling of different extracts of Tomato plants
Authors: Ahmed Sium , Rahman Faisal Bin , Ahmed Shawon , Mohammad Shohael Abdullah 
Published: March 2019

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a widely cultivated vegetable crop worldwide and its consumption is increasing day by day. The only edible part of tomato plant is its fruit. Therefore, the residual tomato plant parts are considered as waste after fruit collection despite some portion of it is used as livestock feed and in the production of fertilizer. Moreover, due to the consumption issue, much of the research is focused on tomato fruit rather than other plant parts. Bioactive compounds can be present in any part of the plant and can be isolated and recovered. Therefore, tomato plant may be useful as a source of bioactive compounds. Our study focuses on the phytochemical constituents and bioactive compounds that are present in different parts of the tomato plant that were being less studied before. Qualitative phytochemical tests were performed to identify the presence of different bioactive compounds. Saponins, tannins, glycosides, phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids and resins are present in significant amount. Total phenol, total flavonoids, total tannin, and total protein content were measured quantitatively. Leaf samples showed higher concentrations of bioactive compounds than roots and stem. Highest total phenol content (66.43 mg/g), total flavonoids content (28.00 mg/g), total tannin content (7.36 mg/g) and total protein content (26.55 mg/g) was found from the leaf water extract. DPPH scavenging assay was performed to find the antioxidant potential and positive results were found. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was also employed to check the constituents. Our study found several spots for different samples and their retention factors (Rf) were evaluated.

Estos y otros aspectos, conforman la personalidad de una comarca en la que los rituales festivos vinculados con la cruz de mayo adquieren un notable interés, tanto por su extensión como su relevancia en los ciclos festivos de las localidades en las que se celebra.El mes de mayo y los meses previos, son “tiempo de cruces” en el Condado, tiempo de fiesta, momentos para el disfrute colectivo y la afirmación de pertenencia a una localidad, a un barrio, o a una calle.
Tendencias del uso de las tecnologías móviles en espacios urbanos: m-learning y patrimonio cultural
Authors: Grevtsova Irina 
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo presenta el estudio de las tendencias del uso de las tecnologías móviles en ciudades con fines educativos y divulgativos sobre el patrimonio urbano. El principal objetivo de la investigación es identificar, analizar y clasificar los principales tipos de aplicaciones creadas para la didáctica y difusión del patrimonio urbano. Las tipologías de las estrategias de las tecnologías móviles que se presentan han sido definidas según dos criterios fundamentales. El primer criterio que se ha tenido en cuenta es el grado de interactividad entre el usuario y el espacio que se intenta interpretar y de los propios usuarios entre sí. En estos casos, la experiencia del usuario in situ y el tipo de interacción en los espacios urbanos son factores decisivos. Otro criterio que se ha tenido en cuenta, en la participación del desarrollo de las estrategias, ha sido el factor de los roles sociales. En función de dichos criterios ha sido establecida una tipología tripartita de las estrategias estudiadas, las cuales se definen a partir de tres verbos: informar, jugar y construir. A continuación, se presenta una detallada descripción de cada categoría que se ilustra con varios ejemplos. El estudio finaliza con unas conclusiones sobre la problemática de tres categorías y sus posibles líneas de desarrollo futuro.
Nuevas perspectivas para la intervención en barriadas protegidas. En búsqueda de comunidades resilientes
Authors: Navas-Carrillo Daniel 
Published: March 2019

Numerosas de las barriadas de vivienda social que se han construido en Andalucía en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, han sido incluidas en los catálogos de protección del planeamiento de sus respectivas ciudades. Muchas de ellas han sido incluidas además en el Registro Andaluz de Arquitectura Contemporánea como ejemplos significativos de la Arquitectura del Movimiento Moderno en la comunidad.Es indudable que este reconocimiento ha permitido mantener muchos de los valores patrimoniales por los que fueron declarados. Sin embargo, presentan altos índices de obsolescencia en su respuesta a los estándares de confort exigidos por la ciudadanía actual. En este sentido, la administración ha jugado en los últimos años un papel decisivo en su recuperación. Trayectoria que ha puesto sobre la mesa la necesidad de aportar nuevas perspectivas que superen el hecho puntual de la rehabilitación, y que -entre otras consecuencias- evite nuevos procesos futuros de obsolescencia.Para ello, la comunicación propone trasladar el concepto de resiliencia sobre la condición social de lo patrimonial, entendida como indicador garante del potencial que tiene una comunidad para el desarrollo de modelos de rehabilitación urbana que estén basadas en la propia capacidad de autoregeneración del colectivo.
