He problem of youth unemployment in Ukraine

Unemployment refers to acute macroeconomic problems. Since unemployment is not a new problem, but in wartime among young people, it acquires a special importance among socio-economic relations, and therefore acquires special relevance in our time. In today's conditions, the youth of our country who have graduated from educational institutions are increasingly faced with unemployment and feel redundant in the labor market. Insufficient number of vacant jobs, lack of work in a specialty, high competitiveness on the labor market, lack of state guarantees regarding employment, unsatisfactory working conditions offered to young people by employers, graduation from an educational institution does not provide any guarantees of employment in a specialty, all this leads to the uncertainty of youth in its future and requires immediate solutions.
 Young people in Ukraine make up the majority of the working population, have more education, creativity, the ability to learn new things, master new professions and are the engine of the country's socio-economic development. Therefore, the state faces the task of regulating the youth segment of the labor market, ensuring employment guarantees, helping small and medium-sized businesses, improving internship conditions for students of professional and higher educational institutions, motivating and preparing young specialists for modern labor market conditions.
 The article analyzes the essence of such a phenomenon as unemployment. The main factors of the occurrence of this phenomenon are determined, the importance of youth in the socio-economic development of the country is characterized. Statistical data from the State Employment Service are presented, the state of unemployment in Ukraine and its consequences are analyzed. Proposals are made to solve the problem of unemployment in the labor market among young people and increase the level of employment in the state.

Sustainable futures in agricultural heritage: Geospatial exploration and predicting groundwater-level variations in Barind tract of Bangladesh

Groundwater resources are one of the essential aspects of achieving self-sufficiency in a country's agricultural production, poverty alleviation, and socioeconomic development, particularly in agricultural heritage management and practices. In the Barind Tract in Bangladesh, groundwater levels have steadily declined due to growing irrigation demand. Surface water sources become scarce during the dry season, and groundwater levels fall to levels that make minimum cultivation challenging. In these circumstances, determining the current status of groundwater is key to any action in the future. This study investigated the existing geospatial pattern and critical zone of groundwater level in Chapainawabganj District, a significant area of the Barind Tract of Bangladesh, and predicted future groundwater levels considering multiple factors. Kriging, a sophisticated geostatistical method, was performed to examine the geographical pattern and groundwater variations, and time series analysis was employed to determine data trends and make future projections. The current study used groundwater level data from 23 monitoring stations over 10 years (2009–2018). Exponential, Gaussian, and Spherical models were cross-matched here for the best predictor model in four fitness measures to determine groundwater concentrations (RMSE, ME, RMSS, ASE), and Box-Jenkins ARIMA (3,1,0) was found best-fit for predictions, and variance estimation. Likewise, cross-validation has been assessed for the accuracy of anticipated results across spatial scales. Although more research is needed to identify the underlying mechanisms, critical zones, and their pattern of modification, possible recharge zones and their locations have been identified. Future groundwater levels, critical zones, and recharge locations have been indicated for the research area and potential recommendations.

Carbon emission reduction potential of renewable energy, remittance, and technological innovation: empirical evidence from China

Although the effects on environmental quality have not yet been extensively studied, some studies demonstrate that renewable energy, remittances, and technical innovation contribute to a country's socioeconomic development. In light of this, the current study utilizes annual data from 1990 to 2020 to evaluate the impact of renewable energy, remittances, and technical innovation on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China. By using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing, the research was able to reveal persistent associations between CO2 and the regressors. Long- and short-run ARDL results also demonstrated that CO2 emissions rise alongside economic development, but the using renewable energy, remittances, and technical advancement help to lower emissions in China. The reliability of these results was determined using fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR). In light of these significant determining, several policy suggestions are proposed.

Global burden of cancers attributable to tobacco smoking, 1990-2019: an ecological study.

Identifying risk factors for cancer initiation and progression is the cornerstone of the preventive approach to cancer management and control (EPMA J. 4(1):6, 2013). Tobacco smoking is a well-recognized risk factor for initiation and spread of several cancers. The predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM) approach to cancer management and control focuses on smoking cessation as an essential cancer prevention strategy. Towards this end, this study examines the temporal patterns of cancer burden due to tobacco smoking in the last three decades at global, regional, and national levels. The data pertaining to the burden of 16 cancers attributable to tobacco smoking at global, regional, and national levels were procured from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study. Two main indicators, deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), were used to describe the burden of cancers attributable to tobacco smoking. The socio-economic development of countries was measured using the socio-demographic index (SDI). Globally, deaths due to neoplasms caused by tobacco smoking increased from 1.5 million in 1990 to 2.5 million in 2019, whereas the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) decreased from 39.8/100,000 to 30.6/100,000 and the age-standardized DALY rate (ASDALR) decreased from 948.9/100,000 to 677.3/100,000 between 1990 and 2019. Males accounted for approximately80% of globaldeaths and DALYs in 2019. Populous regions of Asia and a few regions of Europe account for the largest absolute burden, whereas countries in Europe and America have the highest age-standardized ratesof cancers due to tobacco smoking. In 8 out of 21 regions, there were more than 100,000 deaths due to cancers attributable to tobacco smoking led by East Asia, followed by Western Europe in 2019. The regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (except southern region) had one of the lowest absolute counts of deaths, DALYs, and age-standardized rates. In 2019, tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL), esophageal, stomach, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer were the top 5 neoplasms attributable to tobacco smoking, with different burdens in regions as per their development status. The ASMR and ASDALR of neoplasms due to tobacco smoking were positively correlated with SDI, with pairwise correlation coefficient of 0.55 and 0.52, respectively. As a preventive tool, tobacco smoking cessation has the biggest potential among all risk factors for preventing millions of cancer deaths every year. Cancer burden due to tobacco smoking is found to be higher in males and is positively associated with socio-economic development of countries. As tobacco smoking begins mostly at younger ages and the epidemic is unfolding in several parts of the world, more accelerated efforts are required towards tobacco cessation and preventing youth from entering this addiction. The PPPM approach to medicine suggests that not only personalized and precision medicine must be provided to cancer patients afflicted by tobacco smoking but personalized and targeted preventive solutions must be provided to prevent initiation and progression of smoking.

FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES: FACTORS OF REGIONAL PENETRATION

The socio-economic development of countries and regions in the present and especially in the future will increasingly be determined by the prevalence of financial technologies (mobile banking, fast payment systems, personalized financing, insurance, investment, etc.). The benefits of fintech in the form of increased business activity, economic growth and welfare in general are realized to a greater extent in megacities and in countries with a high standard of living. The problems of developing countries and remote and sparsely populated regions are the low penetration of financial technologies and the growing digital divide. The consideration of fintech development factors showed the predominantly macroeconomic and political nature of the factors of direct impact on the process of spreading innovations in the financial sector. A comparative analysis of median incomes and the share of the population below the poverty line in Russia, a macroregion and a separate region showed their direct and inverse relationship with the level of penetration of financial technologies. Measures are proposed to increase incomes by paying an unconditional basic income to the population of remote villages and ensuring the availability of financial services to the population and businesses in regions with a low level of their development through state subsidies to mobile operators.

The Current State of Development of The Real Estate Sector in The Context of The New Crown Epidemic and The Direction of Subsequent Development

In February 2020, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank published articles emphasising the positioning of "no speculation in housing" and not using real estate as a means of short-term economic stimulation, and promoting the improvement of the basic economic housing security system; various places made policy adjustments in respect of housing provident funds and land rentals, etc. Policy adjustments were made in various areas such as housing fund and land concessions. The impact of the new epidemic has increased China's fiscal spending, and the real estate economy, as a source of revenue, plays an integral role in the country's socio-economic development. The arrival of the epidemic will also have a serious impact on our economy, with consumer habits changing; the erratic nature of the epidemic will make people more inclined to "tighten their belts" and use their assets for emergencies, and the real estate industry will cool down as a result. In the era of rapid development of big data, the real estate industry is getting a more systematic and comprehensive data and provides a different perspective for its subsequent development direction, and a more objective understanding of the current situation of the real estate industry under the influence of the epidemic. This study is based on the Newcastle pneumonia epidemic and uses big data networks to understand the current economic development of the real estate sector, and to analyse and deduce the subsequent development of the real estate sector and the direction of adjustment in accordance with the current situation, in order to promote the steady development of the real estate economy and thus reduce the impact of the Newcastle epidemic on the national economy and revenue growth.

A meta‐analytic review of attitudes towards the sexuality of adults with intellectual disabilities as measured by the ASQ‐ID and related variables: Is context the key?

BackgroundThe attitudes of others towards the sexuality of people with intellectual disabilities are one of the main perceived barriers to them expressing their sexuality. Research on what influences these attitudes yields heterogeneous results.MethodA systematic review of the literature and a meta‐analysis were carried out.ResultsEleven studies using the Attitudes to Sexuality Questionnaire—Individuals with an Intellectual Disability (ASQ‐ID) were included. Within the included studies, the country's socio‐economic development and level of individualism were associated with attitudes towards the sexual rights, parenting and self‐control of adults with intellectual disabilities. General population and staff samples held more favourable attitudes than family samples in terms of sexual rights and parenting. Age and gender did not yield significant results.ConclusionsVariables related to country context may underlie the differences observed between countries and therefore influence the population's general thinking and ideologies. Unexpectedly, no age differences were observed. Gender‐related results may reflect rapprochement between genders in sexuality. These findings are relevant for researchers and practitioners, as they suggest the importance of considering contextual factors when developing effective interventions that aim to support adults with disabilities to live their sexuality.

Complete Solution of Financial Management to Promote and Develop Science and Technology Organizations in the Ministry of Science and Technology

Over the years, with the attention of the Party and State, Vietnam's science and technology industry has received increasingly large investments. The achievements in science and technology as well as the scale and scope of application of these achievements, therefore, are also increasing. However, compared with other countries in the world as well as in the region, Vietnam's science and technology level is still low, not meeting the requirements set forth by the country's socio-economic development process. Science and technology has not yet become the main growth engine of the economy. One of the main reasons is that Vietnam has not yet built a complete and synchronous financial mechanism for S&T activities, thus not attracting enough necessary financial resources. Therefore, this article focuses on analyzing and proposing solutions to improve financial management at science and technology organizations in Vietnam today.

Sustainable development trend of Vietnam’s energy industry and orientations for sustainable development of Vietnam oil and gas group until 2030 with vision to 2045

Energy plays an important role in the socio-economic development of countries in general and particularly in the context that Vietnam is a dynamic economy with a high growth rate. In order to achieve the goals of sustainable economic development, the Government of Vietnam is determined to implement and accelerate structural transformation of the energy sector towards a greener, cleaner and more efficient use of energy.
 As a national oil and gas company making large contribution to the country’s socio-economic development and at the same time a pillar in ensuring the national energy security, in view of the direct impacts of the energy transition trend, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group is responsible for joining hands with the Government to ensure energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to protect the environment and adapt to climate change, thus contributing to successfully implementing the sustainable development strategy.

Assessment of the Antibacterial Potency of Usnea sp. against Foodborne Pathogens

ABSTRACT 
 The increase in the incidence of foodborne diseases has been demonstrated by epidemiological studies, and the adverse impact on the socio-economic development of countries has been also reported by health authorities. The combat against foodborne pathogens through the use of natural biosources has become the focus of recent research. Lichens produce several secondary metabolites with various biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-cancer etc. due to competition with other living things in their surrounding environment. In this perspective, we aimed to investigate the antibacterial properties of Usnea sp. that collected from Kastamonu, Turkey against five foodborne pathogens in the present study. These tested bacteria included both Gram-positive and Gram-negative ones. Our data demonstrated that the acetone extracts of Usnea sp. had antibacterial efficiencies especially against Gram-positive bacteria tested (C. perfringens, S. aureus, and B. cereus) at varying percentages. This potential antibacterial activity of Usnea sp. suggests that it can be used in the food industry. Since it has already been reported to be used in dishes or ingredients of bread, it gives the idea that it may be used as a food additive (such as a preservative, extending shelf life). However, detailed studies for its toxicity or the dosages that do not be toxic should be done.

Autoregressive Distributed Lag Approach (ARDL) to Corruption and Economic Growth Nexus in Nigeria

The corruption in Nigeria is generating concern around the globe and among its citizens. This concern is because corruption has continued undermining the country's socio-economic development. Thus, this study empirically investigates the impact of corruption on economic growth in the Nigerian economy using annual data from 1980 to 2018. The study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model as its estimation technique. In this study, economic growth was proxied by gross domestic product growth rate (GDPGR), while corruption was proxied by the corruption perception index. The result revealed that corruption has a negative and significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria in the long run. This finding implies that corruption has impeded the economic development process in Nigeria within the period of this study. Thus, it was recommended that anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria, such as the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) should be strengthened by enacting laws that will empower them to investigate, arrest and prosecute offenders.

THE USE OF INTERGRADED-SKILLS APPROACH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN TEACHING ENGLISH

The relevance of this theme is due to the process of globalization of the world community, which has a particular impact on the socio-economic development of countries and individuals. Globalization has led to direct changes in the existing educational systems of most countries (adoption of the Bologna Declaration, shift to a twotier higher education system, academic mobility, etc.). Therefore, in addition to providing academic perspectives and professional skills, it is necessary to train and develop communication skills that will enable students to become competitive professionals and adapt to modern society. This article describes the process of applying an integrative approach to teaching communication skills. In the scientific and pedagogical literature, the integrative approach is considered a pedagogical tool that integrates the knowledge acquired by students into the process of developing interdisciplinary skills. In the conclusion of the article the problems faced by teachers of English, as well as ways.

Ghana's railway transport services delivery: A review

Ghana's once vibrant railway system is presently in a state of disrepair as a result of neglect and underfunding over the years; from an initial network size of 947 km in 1960 to an operational rail line of just 160 km in 2020. The Ghana railway sector's past performance is reviewed together with 5 other countries, namely; Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as well as the prospects of the industry to the Government's intention. Four (4) indicators were considered in the assessment, they are, the effectiveness of the available rail line, total goods transported by rail, total passengers that traveled by rail, and accessibility to rail service. Relatively, Ghana showed the highest decline in the effectiveness of available rail lines, from 68% in 1980 to 16.9% in 2020. Again, Ghana and Nigeria experienced a substantial decrease in freight volumes transported (81%) between 1990 and 2020, whiles South Africa, Germany, and the United Kingdom witnessed increases averaging 100,000 million ton-km annually over the same period. Accessibility to railway services has consistently decreased over the years; from service access of 29.6% in 1960 to 0.6% in 2020 tells the awful state of the railway sector. However, the prospects of investing in a modernized railway system appear good as the government's drive to industrialize the country continues and new mineral deposits are exploited. The sector is undergoing restructuring to increase private sector participation in the delivery of rail transport services and to stimulate the country's socio-economic development.

A critique of the EIA Report selected from the East African region, taking into consideration what is required in an ideal of EIA Report

At present, every country strives to realize development for its people. Therefore, to achieve this requires the construction of various projects for the realization of a country's socio-economic and political development. However, the development of the projects is associated with various ecological challenges that can have an impact on society as a whole and the environment. Therefore, there is a need to conduct an environmental impact assessment (EIA), a tool that can be used to determine the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project before making a decision. The EIA process is linked to the detailed report containing all possible environmental, social and health impacts after, during and after the project. Therefore, this paper aims to deliver the critique of one of the EIA reports in the East African region. To achieve this, EIA legislation and guidelines for preparing and verifying EIA reports in the East African region will be examined. The critique contains the issues that include the advisory team (environmental and social impact assessment team), an executive or non-technical summary, a description of the proposed project, a description of the development, the local environment and initial conditions, the political, legal and administrative framework, and public participation/stakeholder analysis in the EIA process.

Community perspectives on natural gas management in Tanzania

Several studies have discussed community participation in socio-economic projects. The studies have shown that many projects that have been initiated by either the government or private sectors have encountered resistance and reluctance from the local communities and other officials due to lack of prior and continuous involvements, poor dissemination of information on the significance of the projects, and differences in priority and interests. One of the key factors for the success and sustainability of any project is a clear understanding of the community's voluntary involvement, perspectives, and expectations of the given project. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the communities’ perspectives, expectations, and concerns related to the recent discovery and management of natural gas in Tanzania. The study adopted a questionnaire survey. Data was collected from the 115 respondents from local communities of Lindi and Mtwara regions in Tanzania. The study revealed that the communities are aware of the natural gas discoveries and policies and laws related to them. It shows that a small number of employment opportunities have been created and/or are expected to increase in the future. There should be transparency and accountability in the natural gas development, contracts, and agreements. The parliament should be the most trustworthy custodian of natural gas revenues. The study revealed that the natural gas sector would enhance the living conditions of Tanzanian households and support the attainment of the country's socio-economic development.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ СТРАН ЕАЭС

The work is devoted to the assessment of the features of the socio-economic development of the countries that are members of the EAEU. The purpose of the work: to describe the current socio-economic situation in the EAEU countries, taking into account its dynamics and the impact of recent events related to restrictive measures to combat the pandemic, as well as to conduct a comparative analysis of the living standard of the population and the main indicators of the labor market. To do this, indicators of socio-economic development were first identified, according to which the features of the socio-economic development of countries were assessed. Then there were assessed the current level of socio-economic development of countries and its dynamics, as well as individual cross-country comparisons were considered. There are some shortcomings in the completeness of statistical data on the socio-economic development of the EAEU countries, which do not allow the cross-country comparisons. First of all, this concerns differences in the methodology for assessing the level of poverty. As a result of the comparison, the leading countries and outsider countries according to socio-economic development were identified.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ МІСЬКИХ АГЛОМЕРАЦІЙ В УМОВАХ СУЧАСНОЇ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ

The intensity of globalization processes and the role of cities in the socio-economic development of countries and regions increase at the current stage of society's development. Agglomerations that have the status of the global (world) level play the most crucial role. he purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of globalization processes on the peculiarities of the development of urban agglomerations in the conditions of contemporary globalization, as well as to identify problems and prospects for their further evolution. The research was carried out based on the system, synergistic, informational and human-geographical approaches; using the methods of induction and deduction, comparison, analogy, analysis, synthesis, systematization, as well as mathematical, statistical and cartographic methods. Three waves characterized the spread of globalization in historical retrospect: the first one (the first half of the 20th century) described the intensive development of cities and industry, the development of transport infrastructure; the second wave (the second half of the 20th century) marked the formation of transnational, transcontinental and global corporations, the transfer of "dirty" industries to the territory of poor third world countries; the third (the beginning of the 21st century – until now) characterizes the emergence of urbanization beyond geopolitical and administrative borders. A significant trend in the contemporary development of cities is the tendency towards developing urban agglomerations, increasing their importance in contemporary spatial transformations and processes taking place on the planet. Agglomerations within regions of the world arose quite unevenly. The largest number are in the USA, Europe, and Asia, and agglomerations are growing at an accelerated pace in Africa and Latin America. Until the 20th century, the large agglomerations were formed mostly in developed countries and regions of the world due to the available resource and economic potential. Now the processes of intensive agglomeration are characterized for cities and developing countries, where the number of agglomerations is increasing. A significant increase in the number of cities and agglomerations in countries with a low level of development leads to the emergence and aggravation of global problems of modern times.

As a science of studying the geographical distribution of vegetation, the China's vegetation geography underwent four phases closely related to the country's socioeconomic development. The first phase is an early stage of start-up before the establishment of the new China (1920s-1949). The main works were a small amount of investigations of plant geography and vegetation geography. The second phase is an initial stage of new growth after the buildup of new China and before the reform and open of the country (1949-1980). During this stage the traditional studies of vegetation geography were still the major contents. The third phase is a mid-term development after the reform and open to the eve of the rapid economic progress (1980-2000). In this stage ecologists focused on some new vegetation geographical research under the global climate change. The last phase is the recent stage of transformation and prolongation in an information era with steady development of the national economy (2000-present). China's vegetation geography came into a new stage of deep growth facing the worldwide environmental changes. During the nearly 100 years, we have gained fascinating achievements in six aspects:the comprehensive vegetation regionalization and ecological function division; revision of vegetation classification of the Chinese vegetation; compilation of vegetation map and vegegraphy of China; palaeovegetation geography; simulation, prediction and scenario analysis of vegetation pattern; and functional vegetation geography based on analyses of plant functional traits and ecological stoichiometry. Hereafter, more finer and deeper research in the following four aspects needs to be paid more attention:strengthening more detailed and elaborated studies on classic vegetation geography; compiling the next-generation vegetation atlas and vegegraphy of China; carrying out the intensive study of anthropogenic vegetation geography; enhancing the investigation of functional vegetation macro-geography taking the plant trait study as an opportunity; and launching the long-term study of functional vegetation geography along with phylogeography in ways of intersection and fusion. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКИЕ УСЛОВИЯ ПРОФИЛАКТИКИ РИСКОВАННОГО ПОВЕДЕНИЯ СТАРШЕКЛАССНИКОВ СРЕДСТВАМИ НРАВСТВЕННОГО ЗАКАЛИВАНИЯ

The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the concern of the state and society, scientists, teachers, practitioners, parents with the problems of growing up children, adolescents, youth, their physical, mental, social health in a situation of transformation of the country's socio-economic development, the results of which affected vital areas and social institutions. During periods of transformation of social relations and lifestyles, the younger generations, due to a lack of experience in orienting themselves in the changes taking place in the microsociety and the macroenvironment, very often find themselves in a group of social risk, become exposed to the influence of destructive factors, demonstrate various options for risky behavior. The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate a set of pedagogical conditions and methodology for using the moral hardening of older students in the prevention of their risky behavior. Research objectives are to reveal the essence of the concept of “risk behavior” and to characterize its features in senior school age; to analyze modern approaches and methods to prevent risky behavior of minors; consider moral hardening from the position of a pedagogical means of preventing risky behavior of high school students; develop a set of preventive measures and the logic of their implementation to ensure the minimization of the causes and factors of risky behavior using moral hardening; to determine the effectiveness of the use of moral hardening as a means of preventing risky behavior of students. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the theoretical material, empirical data, conclusions and generalizations can serve as the basis for the development of methodological recommendations, innovative technologies for preventive activities, enrichment with facts and methods of the disciplines of the psychological and pedagogical cycle in colleges and universities. Adapted diagnostic methods can be used in the development of preventive and monitoring programs in educational institutions of various types and kinds, in extracurricular activities, in the training and advanced training of class teachers, social teachers, educational psychologists, and life safety teachers.
