ANALYSIS OF THE ASSORTMENT OF COMBINED ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES REGISTERED ON THE PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET OF UKRAINE AND ASSESSMENT OF THEIR SOCIO-ECONOMIC AVAILABILITY

Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are a group of medications widely used by women of reproductive age worldwide that contain progestin and estrogen or progestin alone. COCs remain one of the most common contraceptive methods used by women of reproductive age, with approximately 151 million users worldwide. The aim of the work was to research the range of combined oral contraceptives (COC) registered on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine and to assess their socio-economic availability using the example of AKS Pharmacy No. 55 (Odesa, 162/2 Kostandi St.) for the year 2023. Research materials and methods. Analytical (data from the State Register of Medicinal Products and the search system tabletki.ua) and pharmacoeconomic (estimation of economic availability based on the indicator of adequacy of solvency Ca. s) research methods were used. Results and discussion. It was established that as of May 15, 2024, 36 trade names (TN) of COC preparations of foreign production were registered in Ukraine. The lion's share of the market is represented by IV generation COCs - 60% of the total assortment. 3rd, 2nd and 1st generation COCs account for 23, 14 and 3% of TN drugs, respectively. The type of composition containing only progestin is represented by 2 TN preparations. It was noted that among 12 TN COC drugs - "Regulon No. 3*21" tablets; "Femoston 1/10 No. 56" tablets and "Rygevidon No. 63" tablets belong to the middle range (Ca. s. = 6,5-7,5 %). All the other 9 TN COCs belong to the high range (Ca. s. less than 5 %). Conclusions. The range of combined oral contraceptives registered in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine is completely provided by imported manufacturers, and according to the results of socio-economic availability of COCs it was established that these drugs belong to the category of high and medium availability.

Macroeconomic Determinants and Their Impact on Ghana’s Bond Market Performance: An Empirical Analysis

Aims: Ghana's economy has faced challenges over the past few years, including power fluctuations (popularly called "dumsor" in the local parlance), the financial system clean-up, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These events have severely impacted the economy's real and finance sectors. Hence, this study examined the effects of key macroeconomic factors on Ghana's bond market. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative methodology utilizing secondary data from 1990-2022. The analytical techniques involved both descriptive and inferential statistics. The Johansen cointegration methodology and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) explored the long-run and short-run relationships. Results: The results showed that Ghana's bond market responds positively to interest rates, GDP growth, and inflation. Banks' credit to the private sector was also significant. In the short run, only the exchange rate matters, with a positive correlation to bond yield. However, it has a negative impact in the long run. Conclusion: The key macroeconomic variables that significantly impact bond market performance are the exchange rate, GDP growth rate, and interest rate. However, bond performance is positively impacted by the growth rate in GDP and interest rates and negatively affected by the exchange rate over the long run; only exchange rates have a short-run effect and are positive. Recommendations: Financial sector regulators, such as the Bank of Ghana, should stabilize the macroeconomic environment, particularly interest and exchange rates, to enhance the return on investment and the competitiveness of the private sector. The study advocates intense public education by the government to reorient citizens about the consequences of excessive demand for foreign products on the economy. They should also intensify the Buy Ghana, Love Ghana Campaign. Again, the import substitution industrialization strategy should become the bedrock for framing industrial policies. These policy measures will help address the country's exchange rate challenges.

The USA will not be able to establish full control over the global production of microchips.

IMPACT OF BRANDING ON BUYING PERCEPTION OF ELECTRIC, FUEL OR HYBRID CAR USERS

To examine Indian consumers' perceptions of both domestic and international brand names in light of the growing popularity of foreign brand names and both positive and negative country-of-origin stereotypes. 112 customers in the city of Delhi were given a standardized questionnaire in person. Seven-point semantic difference scales were used to test attitudes toward "foreign" or "Indian" brands, while CETSCALE was used to quantify consumer ethnocentrism. Using factor analysis with varimax rotation, the factors impacting the reported degree of ethnocentrism in brand decisions were identified. Indian consumers were not prejudiced against international brand names, despite high levels of nationalism and preference for domestic manufacturing, as shown by high factor ratings on an ethnocentrism scale, which may suggest a favourable bias towards local businesses. In actuality, they gave those nations of origin more legitimacy and rated them higher than Indian companies in terms of technology, quality, status, and esteem. In a vast and rapidly expanding market, this study contributes to the body of knowledge regarding the country-of-origin effect. Instead of emphasizing economy and value for money, global brand marketers in the Indian market should focus on quality and technological features. demonstrates that animosity toward foreign products is not always the result of ethnocentrism. Indianized, integrative, and spiritual tactics must be used to maintain Made in India. Although this has started to change in the Indian market, consumers still choose the best brand over the best product. Demand is higher for the best products. The brands that are most meaningful to you are ingrained in your memory and are associated with your culture, history, geography, spirituality, religion, and essential qualities, such as indigenous products, which Indians like.

Formation of the market of software medical devices in the Russian Federation in 2007–2024: Practical results

According to the recommendations of The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF), software intended for medical purposes falls under the category of medical devices (MD). In recent years, in Russia, a great deal of systematic work has been carried out to establish normative regulations and processes for controlling the efficiency and safety ofsoftware as medical devices (SaMD) and its subsequent state registration. Objective. The analysis of current procedures and results of state registration of SaMD in the Russian Federation in 2007–2024. Materials and methods. A systematic search of information on the software registered in Russia as MD was carried out. For this, the state registry of MD of the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare of Russia (Roszdravnadzor) was used. 157 records of marketing authorizations (MA) issued between 01. 01. 2007 and 30. 07. 2024 were found. Results. 25.5 % of MAs were issued for radiological information systems, including image archiving and communication systems (PACS-systems). For SaMD with artificial intelligence technologies – 24.2 % MAs. 13.4 % of MAs were issued for laboratory information systems and 4.5 % for medical information systems of medical organizations. The “Other software” group accounted for 32.5 %, it included telemedicine solutions, software for planning surgeries, etc. More than 50 % of Mas for SaMD was issued for Russian-based developers. Half of SaMD was registered as the 2nd class of potential risk application (50 %), 17 % as the class 2b, and 18 % as the lowest 1st class of potential risk. 15 % of SaMD were of the maximum 3rd class of the potential risk of application, and most of them were SaMD with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Conclusion. In Russia, a system of independent testing and state registration of SaMD has been built and has been working reliably for many years, allowing manufacturers to bring to the market the most diverse products, including innovative AI-based MD. Russian development companies are gradually increasing their market share compared to foreign producers.

Electricity from saccharide-based galvanic cell

Abstract Here we report a practical laboratory that first-year undergraduate students can do in a general chemistry framework to explore both electrochemistry and transition metal chemistry. These laboratory activities focus on the use of saccharides and specifically starch as possible sustainable sources of energy by experimenting with the redox reactions that occur between vanadate ions and different saccharides. Students undergo hands-on experiments in order to see color changes that indicate electron transfer and link to real-world applications of these concepts in energy conversion. To reduce dependency on foreign resources and the economic risks of foreign energy product prices, the experiments employed agricultural products to generate electricity. Through the application of “Sufficiency Economy” philosophy, this work provides students with lessons in sustainable practice and the fundamentals of electrochemistry, which are essential for addressing today’s global challenges.

Results of metallographic studies of cutting parts of cultivator paws made of 30MnB5 steel

Rationale. Cultivators are widely used in our country for surface tillage. Moreover, their most common working organ is the pointed paw. In recent years, foreign manufacturers of agricultural machinery have begun to use boron-containing steels in the manufacture of working parts of agricultural machinery, which can increase the wear resistance and durability of machine parts. The article presents the results of metallographic studies of the structure and properties of the cutting parts of pointed cultivator paws made of boron-containing steel 30MnB5. The purpose of the work is to study the structure and properties of boron-containing steels after surfacing relit and subsequent hardening. Materials and methods. When carrying out metallographic studies, we used the cutting parts of the paws of the KPIR-3.6 and KPU-5.4 cultivators, mass-produced according to OST 23.2.164-87 at the Buinsky Machine-Building Plant of the Republic of Tatarstan. These working bodies were made of steel grade 30MnB5 DIN EN 10083-3. To ensure heterogeneity of the structure, a layer of relit was fused to one side of the cutting blade of the cultivator paw, after which the entire working element was hardened. The macro- and microstructure of the metal part was studied using a microsection cut out to the cutting edge. For macrostructural studies, a stereoscopic microscope from MEIJI RZ with a magnification of up to 7 times was used. The microhardness of the part was measured using the Vickers method (GOST R ISO 6507-1-2007) at different loads on a MicroMet 5104 microhardness tester. Contamination of the base metal of the part with non-metallic inclusions was assessed using the “Ш4” method according to GOST 1778-70. Results. The proposed manufacturing technology for cultivator blades made of 30MnB5 steel made it possible to obtain a cutting part that is heterogeneous in structure and hardness, which ensures self-sharpening of the blade during the friction of the cultivator blade on the soil. The steel base of the cultivator paw after heat treatment has a troostomartensite structure with a microhardness of ~ 564 HV 0.3. The deposited layer of relit has a dendritic cast structure of tungsten with a microhardness of 900...1020 HV 0.05 and tungsten carbides with a microhardness of 2315...2460 HV 0.05. The wear of paws made of 30MnB5 steel turned out to be 9.5% less than that of working bodies made of 65G steel. The cost of manufacturing working parts using the proposed technology was reduced by 14.3%. Conclusion. The practical value of the study lies in the fact that the results of studies of the cutting parts of self-sharpening cultivator paws, made of 30MnB5 steel using the proposed technology, are used in the production process of Buinsky Machine-Building Plant OOO in the Republic of Tatarstan. The paws manufactured using the proposed technology are installed on cultivators KPIR-3.6 and KPU-5.4. The presence of the self-sharpening effect of the paws made it possible to increase the quality of products required by consumers and its high competitiveness.

An Analysis of The Distortive Effect of Environmental Policy Stringency on Physical Trade Balance for Fossil Fuels in China

ABSTRACT Utilizing advanced econometric techniques such as quantile ARDL regression and time-varying Granger causality tests, we offer empirical evidence that China’s stricter environmental policies distort its physical trade balance for fossil fuels. Our findings indicate a clear trend: stricter environmental policies cause significant increases in the amount by which fossil fuel resources contained in Chinese imports exceed those contained in its exports. This suggests a form of carbon leakage, where firms involved in domestic production and exportation of fossil fuels to evade the heightened costs associated with stringent regulations reduce domestic production, which is then replaced by foreign production. Our findings underscore an imbalance in the regulatory approach between domestic production/exports of fossil fuels and its imports. While regulations on domestic production and exports are becoming tighter, those governing imports remain relatively lax.

Growth and globalization of the Central African wildlife economy: Insights from a 23-year study of wild meat markets on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

The commercial trade in wild meat is booming in Central Africa. Addressing this issue is a global priority because the trade poses a major threat to biodiversity and human health. We investigated the impact of socioeconomic factors, public health emergencies, and conservation efforts on the wild meat trade using daily surveys of wild meat markets on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea (EG), from 1997 through 2021. Bioko is an ideal location for examining how external factors impact the wild meat market trade. Although small, the island has large areas of intact forest that host populations of commercially valuable wildlife; low-cost protein substitutes are available; and Malabo, the island’s only large metropolitan area and wild meat trading hub, hosts a wealthy class of urbanites. We found significant associations between global market trends and the wild meat trade, especially China’s foreign investment and oil production in the US and EG. Economic crises like EG’s 2009 economic downturn that followed a global crash in oil prices and reduced production, redirected demand towards cheaper mainland wildlife carcasses amid reduced consumer demand. Public health emergencies had the most comprehensive impact on the wild meat trade. The 2014 Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic both induced shifts in market demand, and the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted trade routes, affecting both urban and rural markets. Internally, we observed market decentralization over the last decade and changes in wildlife supply chains during public health emergencies. Conservation policies, including anti-poaching measures and educational outreach, temporarily influenced wildlife market trends, sometimes leading to trading surges in endangered primate carcasses. Our study highlights the importance of monitoring global market trends, public health campaigns, and adapting conservation strategies to disrupt wildlife supply chains and curb consumer demand for wild meat.

The spillover effect of global uncertainty through input–output linkage

AbstractThis study examines the cross‐country spillover effects of global uncertainty on domestic value‐added by introducing indices for input‐ and output‐linked uncertainty. Employing a panel fixed‐effect regression model, the analysis covers 70 countries from 1995 to 2019, using the World Uncertainty Index and the OECD Inter‐Country Input–Output Table. Our findings reveal that input‐linked uncertainty from procuring foreign intermediate goods has the most significant negative impact on domestic value‐added. The effects of domestic uncertainty and output‐linked uncertainty from foreign product sales follow this. Additionally, these negative effects exhibit a dynamic cumulative impact over time, rather than being confined to a specific period. Considering both the magnitude and duration of these impacts, the primary transmission pathway of global uncertainty on a country's domestic production activity is through its input linkage. Furthermore, the study identifies country‐specific variations in the ripple effects of global uncertainty. Analysing specific cases such as Korea and China affirms the empirical relevance of our findings to their economic contexts.

Determinants of Export Volume Oil Indonesian Raw Materials to Main Destination Countries

Crude Oil, which has long been a mainstay sector in Indonesia's exports, contributes greatly to state revenue, thus driving the pace of national economic growth. In the context of the Indonesian economy, the crude oil industry plays an indispensable role, especially over the past few decades. This study aims to identify the factors that affect the volume of Indonesia's crude oil exports to nine main destination countries—including Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the United States, and Taiwan—in the period from 2003 to 2022. Some of the variables analyzed include exchange rates, foreign investment, production, and world oil prices. Through the regression analysis method of panel data, the results of this study indicate that simultaneously, exchange rates, foreign investment, production, and world oil prices have a significant effect on Indonesia's crude oil exports to these countries. Separately, the world exchange rate and oil price variables had a significant negative influence on Indonesia's crude oil export volume, while the foreign investment and production variables showed a positive and significant influence on export volume during the 2003-2022 research period.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES ON MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN WEST AFRICA REGION

The West African manufacturing grew immediately after post-independence period, which was largely shaped by state-led and protectionist policies. The structural adjustment reforms of the state-owned enterprises and trade liberalization, along with foreign aid, restarted West African manufacturing in the 1990s. However, the increased competition from foreign products and pressures on its currencies, such as devaluations, made these gains to be short-lived. The study examined the macroeconomic variables and industrial output in West African region using cross session approach between 2008 and 2020. Contribution of industrial output to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), External Debt, Lending Rate and Inflationary Rate were used as variables. It was found that industrial output contribution to GDP estimate shows that there exist an inverse relationship between Industrial output and Lending Rate, Inflationary rate, while Industrial output and External Debt are positively related. It is recommended that a conducive macroeconomic policy should be operated to curb inflationary rate within the country so that raw materials for production would be cheap which will result to a continuous generation of output.

Production line location strategy for foreign manufacturer when selling in a market lag behind in manufacturing

It is a prevalent practice for foreign manufacturers to market their products in regions with lower manufacturing capabilities. However, the manufacturer’s choice of production line location strategy is significantly influenced by tariffs and negative brand effects caused by localized production. In this paper, we build a game-theoretical model considering a supply chain composed of a foreign manufacturer and a local retailer. The foreign manufacturer initially produces both high-end and low-end products at the oversea (with higher manufacturing capabilities), selling them in the local market through a local retailer. We explore various production line location strategies for the foreign manufacturer, including both location at the oversea, both location at the local market (with lower manufacturing capabilities), and separate location, and analyze the impacts of tariffs and negative brand effects. By comparing equilibrium results in different strategies, we discover that as tariffs rise, both location at the oversea may be the best choice for the foreign manufacturer instead of separate location strategy, which challenges the prevalent practice where many foreign manufacturers opt to produce high-end products overseas to uphold brand influence while localizing low-end products to minimize tariff costs. Overall, there is no singularly dominant production line location strategy for the foreign manufacturer, and each strategy holds the potential to yield the highest overall supply chain profit. In addition, as tariffs rise, customer surplus will increase under separate location, and only the separate location strategy or both location at the local market strategy is likely to yield the highest consumer surplus.

АНАЛИЗ РЫНКА СТАБИЛИЗИРУЮЩИХ ДОБАВОК ДЛЯ ЩЕБЕНОЧНО-МАСТИЧНОГО АСФАЛЬТОБЕТОНА. ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ ОРГАНИЧЕСКИХ ВОЛОКОН ДЛЯ СТАБИЛИЗАЦИИ БИТУМА

Abstract. The transition to the use of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete mixtures in the upper layers of road clothes is a global trend and leads to increased crack resistance, shear resistance, fatigue resistance, frost resistance, as well as low abrasion resistance, reduced noise and increased roughness of the coating compared with road clothes having a coating based on traditional asphalt concrete. The production of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete with high performance and functional characteristics depends on the quality of the stabilizing additive used. Modern specialists are constantly working to improve and strengthen the road surface and, in particular, the upper layers of the road surface, to make them more resistant to external influences and conditions of modern and rapidly changing traffic flow, while paying attention to various additives that are designed to strengthen and bind the components of the road surface more firmly. The market of stabilizing additives is mainly represented by foreign manufacturers, and the use of domestic analogues in the composition of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete leads to a mixture of unsatisfactory quality. The paper considers a wide range of existing stabilizing additives, their component composition, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The main properties of the resulting crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete based on the most common types of additives of both imported and domestic production are considered. Based on the data obtained, theoretical prerequisites have been made for the development and laboratory studies of a new stabilizing additive using natural polymer fiber based on cellulose production waste.
