Relevance. Thanks to decisions taken at the national level, many countries have managed to significantly increase coverage with preventive vaccination and reduce mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has recaptured the relevance of organizing mass vaccination. Based on the current epidemiological situation, characteristics of the population, peculiar features of infrastructure, available resources in individual country, and individual city, various organizational vaccination solutions have been developed and implemented. The Moscow-based experience of vaccinating against influenza at mobile vaccination sites near the Moscow metro stations in 2016 became the starting point in the development of new organizational forms and technologies for mass vaccination in a megapolis, that have been successfully adapted to the new conditions of the COVID19 pandemic.Aims. is to summarize foreign and Russian (exemplified by Moscow) experience in organizing mass vaccination.Material and methods. The study is based on the publication search results in Google and PubMed. The authors selected materials published in 2017– 2023. The implemented analysis of the long-term dynamics in the influenza incidence in the Russian Federation, the Central Federal District (CFD) and Moscow was based on data of the Federal State Statistical Observation Form No. 2 «Information on infectious and parasitic diseases» for 2013–2019.Results and discussion. The analysis of foreign experience shows that the development and implementation of new forms of mass vaccination cannot become a "standard project". In each region of the world, it is organized with due regard to the local economic, legal, social, medical, organizational and even cultural conditions. Vaccination of the population against influenza at mobile vaccination sites near the Moscow metro stations contributed to a 42.3% decrease in the incidence of influenza (from 24.6 in 2016 to 14.2 per 100,000 population in 2017). In 2019, the incidence of influenza in Moscow was 28.8% lower than the CFD one and 62.2% lower than the Russian rate. The recognized successful experience of deploying mobile vaccination sites near the metro stations has been significantly expanded to control the COVID-19 pandemic with mobile teams, vaccination sites in shopping centers, etc.Conclusion. The conducted research and literature data substantiate the deployment of additional vaccination sites to ensure the necessary coverage with vaccination within a short period of time.
The Agricultural Land Market in Ukraine: Current Conjuncture and Problems of Formation
Authors: LUNOVA Т. 
Published: September 2023

The agricultural land market was launched in Ukraine on July 1, 2021. Before its opening in Ukraine, experts had attempted to outline various scenarios of its operation, but most part of the predictions proved to be far from reality. The inadequacy and unsoundness of these predictions raise the importance of studies devoted to the current conjecture of the agricultural land market in Ukraine.
The article contains results of a study of the processes involved in the formation of the agricultural land market in Ukraine and its current conjuncture. A review of the legal acts of Ukraine that streamlined the evolution of relations on this market was made: the Decree of the President of Ukraine “Urgent measures to accelerate reforms in the agrarian sector of the economy” (1999), the Land Code of Ukraine (2001), the Decree of the President of Ukraine “Supplementary measures on social protection of rural residents who are owners of land plots and land parts (shares)” (2002), the Law of Ukraine “Amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine on terms of the turnover of agricultural lands” (2020). A comparison of the cost of land lease in Ukraine and EU countries in 2019, and the actual weighted average price of 1 hectare of agricultural land in Ukraine and some other countries was made. Domestic sources of information on the land market operation in Ukraine are given.
It is concluded that the land market in Ukraine is in the passive state now, with both demand and supply being slack. The factors behind the low demand and supply on the domestic land market were identified: the demand is constrained by a limited range of buyers and lack of uncostly mortgage loans for purchase of land; the supply is constrained by the low market price of 1 hectare of land, inability of the majority of residents to sell their shares in case of the valid leasing contract, bad legal and financial literacy of rural inhabitants. The efficiency of land leasing in Ukraine remains to be low due to irrational use of soils by land tenants. The need for government regulation of this market is shown.
Regional Assessment of the Environmental Performance in Ukraine
Authors: HOLUBOVA H. 
Published: September 2023

The impact of economic progress on the environmental performance and public health, urgent problems, and regulatory documents on the environmental protection in Ukraine are highlighted. The statistical data on emission of pollutants in the air and water basin of Ukraine in 2010–2019 are shown. The regional differentiation of the ecological situation of Ukraine in 2019 is analyzed on the basis of the multidimensional average. The index of ecological threat, calculated on the basis of 12 indicators, is offered. The analysis revealed that the industrial regions of Ukraine had the greatest negative impact on the environment: Dnipropetrovsk (1.694) and Donetsk (1.137) regions. The lowest environmental risks were in Chernivtsi (-0.605), Transcarpathia (-0.452), Kherson (-0.376), Ternopil (-0.366), Mykolayiv (-0.342) regions. A typology of Ukrainian regions based on the index of ecological threat is proposed, with breaking the regions into three groups: regions with high, medium, and moderate level of risks. The group with the high level of threats includes two regions of Ukraine, the group with the medium level of risks – 5 regions, and the group with the moderate level of risks – 17 regions. The analysis shows a significant regional differentiation of Ukraine in terms the environmental threat. It confirms the need for a targeted environmental policy focused on the following objectives: greening of production, introduction of alternative energy sources, resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies, competent waste management, reconstruction and modernization of waste treatment facilities.
An Analysis of the International Law on Waste Statistics
Authors: MOTUZKA O. 
Published: September 2023

The article contains an analytical review of the regulatory framework in the waste statistics. By summing up documentary evidences (conventions on protection of the population health and environment, objectives and indicators of Sustainable Development Goals, related with waste), it is demonstrated that waste statistics plays important role in identifying waste-specific problems, priority setting in waste management, formulating and implementing policy goals in waste management.
It is shown that the waste statistics is collected by various international entities, and reports on waste generated in the process of economic activities are made up using two main classifications: International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), and Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE). The EU practices in the waste statistics are highlighted. The EU approach to waste treatment is based on “waste hierarchy”. In practice, a major part of EU countries collects the data on waste types by the List of Waste. After that, the conformity between the types of waste and EWC-Stat is set using the translation table given in Annex III to the Waste Statistics Regulation. Only several countries collect data by the reliance on EWC-Stat.
Problems faced by the waste statistics are discussed (inadequate comparability of waste statistics due to different methods and definitions used in the data production; incomplete coverage of waste-specific issues by the official waste statistics), sources of these problems are determined.
The analysis demonstrates that the waste statistics is a rather new field in EU, which evidence is the ongoing change in the EU regulatory framework. The countries producing waste data with reference to it or implementing it should do it by taking account for the most recent change. The need for harmonization of national methodologies in the waste statistics is highlighted.
Theories and Methods Involved in the Interpretation and Assessment of the Financial Security of the State in the Context of Socio-Economic Transformation
Authors: ZAICHKO I. 
Published: September 2023

Theoretical and methodological tools for determining and assessing financial security have been deepened. An analysis of the publications of Ukrainian scholars on approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “financial security”, including the definition of components of financial security, which shows that most often it is allocated to budget security. A matrix of approaches to determining the components of financial security. The essence and nature of budget security are determined, it is shown that budget security is the main component of financial security, which indicates the importance of budget policy in the system of financial security of the state. The author’s definition of financial security of the state as a state of stability and stable protection against threats in the budget sphere, which is characterized by ensuring the solvency of the state and a high level of budget, debt, banking, currency, monetary security and is achieved through effective fiscal policy.
Based on the Guidelines for calculating the level of economic security of Ukraine of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine from 2013, 6 indicators (sub-indices) of economic security of Ukraine for 2016–2018 were calculated (banking security, security of non-banking financial sector, debt security, currency security, monetary credit security and budget security), as well as an integrated indicator of financial security of Ukraine. The results of calculations show that the financial security of Ukraine in 2016–2018 was at a dangerous level, which confirms the need to form and implement a set of policy measures to support it.
A Model for the Assessment of Management Competencies of Masters in Management
Authors: PERKHUN L. , TOVMACHENKO N. , MAISTRUK YU. 
Published: September 2023

The article presents the authors’ model for the assessment of management competencies (MC) of masters in management, based on expert evaluation of the MC level by 28 criteria, broken into three groups of management functions: effectiveness of management decisions, organization and monitoring of work, and motivation and development of personnel. Six MC levels are set depending on the intensity of manifestation of each group of management functions: strong, medium, and weak. A binary matrix is constructed for each level by the method of paired comparisons. The distances between the measured MC level of a master in management and the benchmark matrices are proposed to be calculated as the Hamming metric, because it allows to employ Boolean values and accounts for the sequence of the measurements.
The model application is demonstrated by field experiments with master students of the specialty “Management” in the second academic year. To confirm the adequacy of the model and results of its testing, the consistency of expert opinions is estimated by the concordance factor; the statistical significance of the latter is confirmed by use of Pearson statistics; the input data for an assumed student with a high level of MC formation are simulated, with demonstrating through calculations that the minimal distance will be the one between the matrix of this student’s data and the benchmark matrix for the high MC level.
The calculations were made using MathCad software. The consistency of expert opinions was evaluated by use of Statistica software package.
The proposed model can be applied to assess any kind of competencies, for students of various specialties. It will require only changed assessment criteria.
Location Aware Beamforming in Millimeter-Wave Band Ultra-Dense Radio Access Networks. Part 1. Model of Two Links
Authors: Fokin G. 
Published: September 2023

The evolution of 1G to 4G radio access networks (RANs) over the past 40 years has shown that beamforming (BF) capabilities add an additional spatial dimension to traditional device multiplexing methods. When base stations (gNodeB - gNB) and user equipment (UE) form narrow antenna radiation patterns (APPs), in addition to frequency, time and code division of channels, an additional spatial dimension appears that implements spatial multiplexing. This concept has been known for quite a long time, but the full implementation of its capabilities in practice is expected with the widespread adoption of millimeter wave (mmWave) ultra-dense networks (UDN) of the fifth (5G) and subsequent (B5G) generations. To control APP, the approach of preliminary analysis of training sequences about the current situation in the radio channel - CSI (Channel State Information) - can be used, but its overhead costs become unacceptably high in conditions of ultra-dense distribution of devices. An alternative approach is positioning-based BF. The validity, relevance and prospects of this approach are determined by the fact that for 5G networks, unlike previous generations, for the first time the requirements for UE positioning accuracy up to one meter are formalized. Initial research in the field of location-aware BF has already been carried out over the past years, however, mainly for particular scenarios of one or more radio links between gNBs and fixed UEs. In this work, for the first time, a scientifically based methodology for controlling the beam pattern of a stationary gNB based on the positioning of a mobile UE for a two-radio link scenario is formalized and implemented in software. The problem of practical implementation of BF is the difficulties to predict level of interference due to the mutual influence of radio links with mobile UEs. When estimating the instantaneous signal-to-interference ratio in a two-radio link scenario between two fixed gNBs that perform BF based on the current location of mobile UEs as they move, it is necessary to take into account the mutual influence of each other's radio links on each other. In such a scenario, a transmitter on one radio link acts both as a source of a wanted signal for one UE and as a source of an interfering signal for another UE. The task of assessing interference for such a scenario is complicated by the nonlinearity of the transmitter and/or receiver ARPs. The model developed and implemented in software in this work uses the functions of the Phased Array System Toolbox Matlab extension package. The simulation results show a significant scatter (tens of dB) of the instantaneous signal-to-interference ratio depending on the territorial separation of devices and can be used to justify scenarios for the construction and operation of 5G/B5G UDN.

Published: September 2023

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common condition characterised by recurrent episodes of oral ulceration. Genetic factors have been implicated by numerous studies on the association of recurrent aphthous stomatitis and the genetically determined HLA subtypes.Objectives: Current study was established to shed light on the possible association of HLA class I and II alleles with recurrent aphthous stomatitis in Iraqi patients.Subjects and Methods: The study included 55 subjects: 30 recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients and 25 apparently healthy subjects as control. Polymerase chain reaction-specific sequence primers (PCR- SSP) assay was conducted to assess HLA- typing.Results: The present study showed a significant association of HLA-Cw*12:02:01-and HLADQB1* 02:01:01- alleles with recurrent aphthous stomatitis as compared with healthy control (P=0.041and P=0.028 respectively). Another interesting finding in this study was the significant low frequency of HLA-DQB1*05:01:01- allele in patients when compared with healthy control (P=0.036).Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that HLA-Cw*12:02:01- and HLA-DQB1*02:01:01-alleles may play a role in the etiology of the disease. Whereas HLA-DQB1*05:01:01-05 may confer protective effects against recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Authors: Hammed Ikhlas K. , Abed Baydaa A. , Rashid Nada F. 
Published: September 2023

Background: Diabetic patients with accompanied dyslipidemia are soft targets for cardiovascular diseases. An early intervention to normalize circulating lipids has been shown to reducecardiovascular complications and mortality. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a routinely used marker for long-term glycemic control.Objective: to investigate the role of HbA1c as a marker of circulating lipids in type 2 diabetic patientsSubjects and Methods: A total of 450 type 2 diabetic patients (214 males and 236 females), mean age was 55.5 ± 9.35. who attended the National Diabetic Center, Al-Mustansiria university during the period from December 2010 to May 2011 were included in this study Fasting venous blood samples were collected from all the subjects. .HbA1c was estimated by high performance liquid chromatography The Serum was used for analyzing Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Total cholesterol (TC),HDL-cholesterol(HDL-C), Triglycerides(TG). Dyslipidemia was defined as per the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines. Diabetes was defined as per American diabetes association criteria. The statistical analysis was done by SPSS statistical package version 17.Results: Statistically significant positive correlation was observed between HbA1C and Total Cholesterol (P=0.000), LDL-C (P=0.000), LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (P=0.001), Non-HDL-C (P=0.000)and Risk ratio (P=0.000). The correlation of HbA1c with triglycerides (TG) was positive and statistically significant (P=0.033). Patients with HbA1c value > 7.0 had significantly higher value ofTC, TG, LDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C and risk ratio ( TC/HDL-C) as compared to the patients with HbA1c ≤ 7.0%. However, there was no significant difference in value of HDL-Cbetween the two groups.Conclusion: HbA1c can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients in addition to glycemic control hence early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive blood testing.

Background: Septicemia is a common condition in children with a resultant high morbidity and mortality. It’s defined as the presence of bacteria in the blood and is often associated with severe infections, the alternative names (Blood poisoning, Bacteremia with sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome).Objective: To study the etiological agents and antibiotics susceptibility of septicemia in children admitted to Central Teaching Hospitals of Pediatric.Patients and Methods: A total of 80 patients having signs and symptoms of Septicemia who were admitted to Central Teaching Hospital of Pediatric in Baghdad city. Samples were obtained during the period from the 1st January till the 30 th of February 2011. Bacteriological specimen (blood) collection, isolation and Identification of causative microorganism by colonial morphology, Gram stains, Biochemical tests and other tests used for further identification (Catalase, Coagulase, Oxidase test) and determining susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents.Results: The blood culture results showed that 20 (25.0 %) patients gave positive blood culture, 60 (75.0 %) patients gave negative blood culture. The microorganisms isolated from blood cultures of 20 patient gave positive blood culture with septicemia was Staphylococcus aureus 5 (25.0 %) Escherichia coli 5 (25.0 %), Klebsiella pneumonia 4 (20.0 %), Enterobacter spp 3 (15.0 %), Serreatia 2 (10.0 %), Pseudomonas spp 1 (5.0 %), and the frequency of septicemia in 20 case according to gender represented male 11 (55.0 %), female 9 (45.0 %).Conclusions: Positive blood cultures were obtained in 20 (25.0 %) of children. The commonest Gram positive bacterial isolate was Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative bacterial isolate was Escherichia coli especially in males sex, in neonate age group who were delivered by cesarean section and preterm < 37 weeks gestational age. The antibiotics [Cefotaxime, Amoxicillin+ Clavulanic acid] are the most effective against Staphylococcus aureus and [Gentamycin, Amikacin, Imipenem] against Gram negative bacteria.
