ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ТА УПРАВЛІННЯ НАГОРОДНОЮ СПРАВОЮ В УКРАЇНІ У ВОЄННИЙ ТА ПОВОЄННИЙ ПЕРІОДИ

The article examines the peculiarities of the development of the award case in the conditions of the war and in the post-war period. It has been studied that in the conditions of war, one of the important levers for raising the efficiency of the organization as production, social coexistence, defense work, social development is the reward factor and tools, which are formed on the basis of the state ideological doctrine, the political situation, the state of socio-economic development, and the personnel policy of the state in the sectoral and territorial spheres and the scientific validity of management decisions in this specific area. The reward policy as a component of the formation of the management strategy for the future, in the post-war period in the context of Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, is a derivative of the implemented general strategy of the state's development. As a rule, the direct object of the award case in the state administration is not only the personnel potential of state authorities, industry and territorial sectors of the national economy, but also, of course, the personnel of the civil service, local self-government bodies, and society. Actually, these circumstances determined the expediency of the formation of organizational and economic mechanisms for the management of award activities, and with their use it is necessary to coordinate and establish relationships (the work of the public sector of Ukraine, we mean the award department of the President's office), executive bodies of the state and local self-government bodies, territorial communities and public organizations in war and post-war (for the future) circumstances, both in the industry and in the territorial sectors of the National Economy. The article attempts to determine the reasons for the ineffectiveness of reward policy, at the current stage, and proposes an updated system of reward principles and ways to solve this problem in the war and post-war period in the context of our country's accession to NATO and the EU. The development of a scientifically based, clear and transparent reward management system is an urgent need of Ukrainian society, the most important prerequisite for strengthening the state, strengthening its defense positions, restoring the national economy and preparing for joining the EU and NATO.

The Spontaneous Creation of Public Value: Open Digital Collaboration Among Public Professionals

This article presents a study aimed to understand the role and effect of spontaneity in public value creation (PVC) by examining the process of spontaneous collaboration within open professional digital spaces (PDSs) in which public professionals interact regarding professional topics. It first describes the existing research that contributed to the construction of our research question and framework. It next examines the significance of focusing on spontaneous collaboration to study PVC in the digital era context. Using a framework built on process analysis, this study scrutinizes three microcases observed within two PDSs clustering public professionals working in the public territorial sector in France. The results show that first, in the context of open professional digital spaces, spontaneous collaboration could achieve PVC, although not systematically, and second, a balance between the spontaneity of demands and the spontaneity of responses is necessary for concretizing actors’ spontaneity in PVC. The paper ends by suggesting further research avenues regarding spontaneous digital collaboration among public professional with the purpose of PVC.

Assessing Land Dynamics and Sustainability on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua: A Method Based on Comprehensive Land Units

In the coastal zones, varied uses converge, some of them of priority interest. In this study, an integrated method for the planning and management of the territory is proposed, which includes the evaluation of sustainability. A total of 15 different land-use classes were estimated in 80 sampling units distributed regularly along the Pacific coastline of Nicaragua and classified to determine land management sectors. For each of the identified sectors, the ecological, economic, social, and productive dimensions were evaluated independently, handling a total of 53 variables from different databases, by means of ordination multivariate factor analysis. Subsequently, the four dimensions were integrated into a model and the results were evaluated based on their similarity with theoretical development scenarios, assessed by discriminant analysis. Among these, the scenarios considered as a goal for sustainability in the studied area were present. On the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, productive and economic activities are currently prioritized, without having an integrated planning scheme for the entire territory, which includes nature conservation. The main contribution has been to provide a method for evaluating the land in an integrative and multidimensional way, while at the same time qualifying the different territorial sectors from a sustainable development. Even under a context of relative scarcity of information for some relevant aspects, the dimension-values assessment is largely solved by ordering the territorial sectors with a multivariate strategy, so that they are classified in relative and not absolute terms, which allows the strategy to be very useful for countries lacking some databases and cartography. This holistic and comprehensive vision of the entire territory facilitates social participation and contributes to decision-making aimed at advancing toward sustainability.

Áreas prioritárias para controle do abandono do tratamento da tuberculose em Recife, Brasil

Tuberculosis is among the world's high morbidity and mortality infectious diseases. The discontinuity of treatment is a challenge to be faced in order to reduce cases of drug resistance and mortality. The objective of this study was to identify priority areas for the control of cases of tuberculosis (TB) treatment abandonment in the city of Recife. This was an ecological study, carried out with new cases of TB diagnosed in Recife and registered in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases between 2012 and 2014. The outcome variable was the average proportion of the abandonment of TB treatment by census sector. To compose this variable, all addresses of new cases of tuberculosis and those of treatment abandonment in the investigated three-year period were geocoded. Moran's Global Index was used to assess spatial autocorrelation. 641 abandonment cases were recorded and geocoded. The value of the Global Moran Index was 0.0313816 (p=0.03) and, through the Moran Map, 153 sectors with spatial statistical significance were identified, of these 43 were high priority for health interventions distributed in 21 neighborhoods. Priority areas were identified for monitoring adherence to tuberculosis treatment. Due to the lower level of available territorial sectors, similar populations, and socioeconomic dynamics among residents, the use of the census sectors allows health interventions to be carried out to improve the quality of care for patients and to reduce the unfavorable outcomes while considering public resources.

An analysis on the agricultural waste management

Farming is India's and the world's oldest profession. Agriculture is one of the most important professions, since it supports both secondary and territorial sectors. Agribusinesses are farms that support the development of companies by providing raw resources such as textile cotton, cigarette tobacco, and so on. Agricultural waste is a byproduct of agriculture that may yield material that is useful to humans but has a lower economic worth than the cost of collecting, transportation, and processing for that purpose. Estimates offarm waste are limited, although it is generally believed that it accounts for a substantial portion of overall waste in the industrialized world. The inappropriate use of intensive agricultural methods and chemical misuse in agriculture are common in the agricultural sector, which has a detrimental effect on rural populations and the climate system. From a variety of sources, rural trash is generated mostly via agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture. These wastes are presently used in the ‘3R’ Waste Management Strategy for a variety of purposes. This article discusses the Agricultural Waste Management System (AWMS). Agricultural waste has the potential to be harmful to plants, animals, and humans in a variety of ways, both direct and indirect. The environmental effects and management of this hazardous agricultural waste have also been addressed, which will be beneficial to agricultural researchers and students who want to learn more about waste management.

Emergency Department Overcrowding: A Retrospective Spatial Analysis and the Geocoding of Accesses. A Pilot Study in Rome

The overcrowding of first aid facilities creates considerable hardship and problems which have repercussions on patients’ wellbeing, the time needed for a diagnosis, and on the quality of the assistance. The basic objective of this contribution, based on the data collected by the Hospital Policlinico Umberto I in Rome (Lazio region, Italy), is to carry out a territorial screening of the municipality using GIS applications and spatial analyses aimed at reducing—in terms of triage—code white (inappropriate) attendances, after having identified the areas of greatest provenance of improperly used emergency room access. Working in a GIS environment and using functions for geocoding, we have tested an experimental model aimed at giving a close-up geographical-sanitary look at the situation: recognizing the territorial sectors in Rome which contribute to amplifying the Policlinico Umberto I emergency room overcrowding; leading up to an improvement of the situation; promoting greater awareness and knowledge of the services available on the territory, a closer relationship between patient and regular doctor (general practitioner, GP) or Local Healthcare Unit and a more efficient functioning of the emergency room. In particular, we have elaborated a “source” map from which derive all the others and it is a dot map on which all the codes white have been geolocalized on a satellite image through geocoding. We have produced three sets made up of three digital cartographic elaborations each, constructed on the census sections, the census areas and the sub-municipal areas, according to data aggregation, for absolute and relative values, and using different templates. Finally, following the same methodology and steps, we elaborated another dot map about all the codes red to provide another kind of information and input for social utility. In the near future, this system could be tested on a platform that spatially analyzes the emergency department (ED) accesses in near-real-time in order to facilitate the identification of critical territorial issues and intervene in a shorter time to regulate the influx of patients to the ED.

Rebelión social en la ciudad Notas sobre significaciones políticas del octubre chileno

En este ensayo se proponen algunas notas sobre las significaciones políticas de la rebelión social, ocurridaa partir del 18 de octubre del año 2019 en diversas ciudades de Chile. Se argumenta que el actual escenariode movilizaciones es una respuesta al proceso histórico de neoliberalización de la sociedad chilena.Entre las características más importantes de esta rebelión, se encuentra la diversificación de los usos políticos del espacio urbano y la reapropiación subalterna de la articulación social en la ciudad. Este procesointensifica y extiende la conflictividad social producto de la profundización de las contradicciones delpatrón de acumulación de capital impuesto en la dictadura cívico-militar, y muestra el agotamiento delEstado subsidiario y de la democracia semi-soberana. A partir de un análisis de coyuntura, complementadacon la descripción de los principales ciclos de movilizaciones sociales en el espacio urbano desde lasegunda mitad del siglo XX, se sostiene que la actual rebelión social evidencia, parcialmente, la rupturadel consenso neoliberal, la politización de lo social y el fortalecimiento del poder local en las ciudades.Se concluye que lo novedoso de la rebelión social es la intensidad, amplitud y diversificación de formasy contenidos del ejercicio político de diversos sectores sociales y territoriales.

Effects of urban growth spatial pattern (UGSP) on the land surface temperature (LST): A study in the Po Valley (Italy)

Sealed surfaces greatly influence Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. In this respect, both the composition and spatial patterns of anthropogenic land use play an important role in local thermal pattern. The urban environments' climate change adaptation strategy needs adequate knowledge systems urban planners can use to organise and design more resistant and resilient urban spaces. This study examined the relationship between Land Surface Temperature (LST) variations and increasing urbanised areas during the period 2001–2011 in the Po Valley, utilising different urban growth spatial patterns (UGSP). Remotely sensed LST data was obtained from MODIS (MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) at a resolution of 1 km/pixel for an 11 year-period, from 2001 to 2011, with urbanisation data from the ISTAT map (nominal scale 1:10,000) respectively for the 2001 and 2011 time sections. The relationship between dependent (mean annual daytime, nighttime and daily values) and independent (urbanised areas) variables were investigated through ANOVA test and post-hoc analysis (p < 0.01) for all defined UGSP. Results showed that there is a decreasing LST range (in all conditions) associated with progressive increase of urbanised areas. Furthermore, clustered patterns urban growth have a statistically significant relationship with daytime, nighttime and daily conditions while dispersed pattern urban growth have the same with nighttime only. The outcomes are helpful for understanding the effects of different UGSP, which have significant implications for urban planning, and identifying the critical territorial sectors in need of sustainable mitigation actions.

The use of uav technology in topographical research: some case studies from central and southern Italy

The paper highlights the large potential of the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) remote-sensing technology applied to the Ancient Topography sector. There are several areas of application in which this new technology represents a useful tool, from the survey and monitoring of ancient monuments to the expeditious analysis of entire territorial sectors. Therefore occur some case studies conducted by the LabTAF of the University of Salento which have, as intervention centers, the Roman City of Aquinum (Southern Lazio), the Vicus Ad Pirum along Via Traiana and the territory between Lecce (Lupiae) and San Cataldo.

Agriculture serves as a primary sector of an economy which laid foundation for other sectors of an economy and with the support of industry sector the territory sector came in to existence. Thus the collective support of Agriculture and industry sector uplifts the economy and a sustainable growth of an economy is governed. The inter-linkage between Agriculture and industry sector from different aspects not only bring growth to these two sectors but economy as whole. Thus in this paper we try to analyze the Agriculture industry linkages in the economy of Jammu and Kashmir in order to see the impact of these two sectors on one others growth and on economy as whole and also to study the phase and status of these two sectors in the economy of Jammu and Kashmir. Our results suggest that there is positive and strong relation from Agriculture sector towards industrial sectors but from industry the linkages are deteriorating due to weak industrial infrastructure in the state. The agriculture sector helps industry sector to grow from income, raw material, labor force etc but from industry sector a small amount of industrial output and income went to Agricultural sector which result increasing pressure for income through services sector which is showing small amount of growth over the years. Key words: Agriculture, linkages, industry, income, output and input.

Research Paper on Investment Opportunities in the Steel Sector of India on the Concept of Make in India

The steel sector is one of the most important and crucial sectors in the growth and development of a nation. It has been considered as the backbone of civilization in the universe. The level of per capita consumption of steel is an important determinant of the socio-economic growth of a nation. The Steel industry Sector of India has acquired a new development stage in the world since 2007-08 and is riding on the resurgent economy due to the growing demand of steel. As per the data released by World Steel Association recently, India steel production was second only to China among the top five steel producing countries of the world. The growth of steel production in India during the last five years has been registered at the level of around 33 around percent.The “Make in India” is an international marketing strategy initiated by Mr. Narendra Modi, our worthy Prime Minister recently in Sept. 2014. The purpose of this scheme is to attract investments from businesses around the world. The concept of “Make in India” attempts to attract the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment to improve the services by partial privatization of loss making corporations in the Public Sector of India. The main focus of this scheme is to fulfill the purpose of job creation, enforcement to secondary and territory sector resulting in boosting of our economy and ultimately making India a self reliant and dominant country in the world.This paper makes a modest attempt to find out the scope and viable opportunity for attracting foreign direct investment in the steel sector in India. The aim of this study is to understand the concern, overall requirements, modernisation and complete perception of the manufacturers of steel sector in India. The paper concludes by suggesting some important strategies and policies to make it a win-win situation for all the stake holders in Steel industry.

Territorial or wandering: how males of Protodiscelis palpalis (Colletidae, Paracolletinae) behave in searching for mates

Females of Protodiscelis palpalis are oligolectic on flowers of the aquatic herb Hydrocleys martii (Limnocharitaceae), commonly found in Northeast Brazil. Each morning, 1 h before anthesis, males fight to guard small patches of flowers, which will compose their territories. Non-territorial males are not bound to certain areas on their patrol flights, roam between different territories and do not engage in conflicts with conspecific males. Territorial males aggressively defend flowers only in a restricted, intensely patrolled part of the territory. This core area was never shared with other territorial males. The intensive patrolling of a territory sector may be a response to abundant territorial invasions by conspecific males. Being territorial seems to confer reproductive advantages to the males. However, the severe male competition and the extreme spatio-temporal aggregation of resource flowers observed in the temporary water bodies of the Caatinga obscure which mating strategy provides higher male reproductive success.

Spatial Analysis Of Impacts And Potentialities For Leisure Activities. Bases For Territorial Ordination Of Tourism Uses

Tourism has become much more relevant than the mere complement to local and national economies. Its development requires an environmental rationality, land planning and management which must be “ecologically feasible, economically convenient and culturally desirable”. This implies a positive balance between costs and benefits, long-term persistence and the compromise to protect and value cultural heritage and traditional activities. We adapted procedures already applied in previous EIA studies. Using a GIS as a technical support, we mapped the risks and potentialities of the tourist activities associated with different types of visitors previously detected and classified by means of surveys. We carried out i) an ecological analysis and description of the territory in order to identify uniform environmental sectors, ii) a previous standardization of the demand for tourism, iii) analysis of the interaction of these tourism types with the territorial ‘offer’ and, iv) quantification of the degree of satisfaction of the visitors. All of this allowed for the classification of these according to their recreational interests in the territory and the activities they are involved. The territory is the reception space for these activities. It reacts ‘negatively’ or ‘positively’ according to its carrying capacity. This was the basis for the characterization of the ‘potentiality’ or ‘risk’ of the territorial sectors for the different types of tourism considered.

Management of information technology in academic information services

The dependency of academic information services on information technology is growing, particularly as information technology is the primary infrastructure of a digital library. This is compound by the fast changing/developing nature of information technology and the trend towards digitisation. The changing nature of information technology contributes to the need to manage it. The focus of this article is on the management of information technology with specific reference to the changing nature of this resource. To find a suitable model with which to manage information technology the management of change as well the management of technology was studied. In doing so 11 variables (which should be included in a management model) were distilled for literature. Directors of academic information services in the South African territory sector were approached to rank the variables. Of these 11 variables, the first six were identified as key criteria. When existing information technology models were evaluated, these key criteria were used as the most important measured of effectiveness. However, attempts to find suitable existing model that accommodates all six key criteria were unsuccessful. Ultimately, a new model was designed which could be implemented by academic information services (i.e. university libraries).

Mapping the ecological structure of a territory: a case study in madrid (central spain)

A procedure to map the ecological structure of a territory is shown. The ecological structure is considered to be the result of the spatial coincidence of numerous physical and biological variables and the spatial connections between territorial sectors. The spatial correspondence patterns of such variables and sectors are detected by multivariate ordination analyses and were mapped using trend surface analysis (TSA). According to these premises an ecological map of the Madrid area was designed. This ecological map is objective: its characteristics do not depend on decisions by the specialists who compile it. The information it contains is based on the systematic analysis of the spatial relationships between numerous variables and territorial sectors. The use of TSA allows a synthesis of the way in which general gradients easily show the ecological spatial variability of the territory (low degree polynomials) or a superimposed—cellular or equipotential—structure appears on those gradients (high degree polynomials). The usefulness of the map is that it shows the ecological structure of the territory and the spatial linkages between the elements of this structure. The accuracy of the map showing these relationships may be ascertained by the fit to trend surfaces of increasing degree. The test was considered to be satisfactory as the results agreed with the prior ecological descriptions of the area. The procedure is thus deemed applicable to lesser known areas and can be very useful in planning studies.

Obesity in Italy

The authors report the results of a study intended to evaluate the prevalence of obesity in Italy. A population of 85,509 subjects (48.6% males, 51.4% females) distributed throughout the country was interviewed. Obesity was found in 5.5% of males and 6.4% of females. A map has been drawn up showing the distribution in age groups and territorial sectors. Indications for preventive and rehabilitative measures are given.

The Evolution of Mating Systems in Temperate Zone Dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera) Ii: Libellula Luctuosa (Burmeister)

AbstractThe behavioral ecology of Libellula luctuosa (Burmeister) (Odonata: Anisoptera) was studied at several ponds in northern New York State, U.S.A. The male Libellula maintained territories which were slightly overlapping on each pond. As many as six males utilized each territorial sector of the pond concurrently. Conspecifics showing submissive behavior were allowed on the mating site, and all males on the territory recognized and maintained the boundaries. These communal sites were primarily mating/ovipositing areas. Aggressive interactions among co-occurring males resulted in the establishment of a dominance hierarchy on each territory. The dominance hierarchy increased the reproductive efficiency of the dominant male probably by reducing interference with mating. Subordinate males occasionally mated. The relative advantage of dominance in mating attempts is quantified. The average number of males at the pond changed little during the day and males did not localize their behavior to specific parts of the pond. An individual male returned to the pond an average of 5 different days. While at the water, males either flew over a territory or perched adjacent to the pond. Individuals frequently left the pond and returned during the day. The amount of time spent in each activity depended on the time of day and number of conspecific competitors. Site attachment was low and males commonly flew to different territorial sectors. The dominance status of individual males often changed quite rapidly, especially when changing sectors or upon returning to the pond. Female Libellula occurred at low average daily density and showed no preference for specific areas of the pond or for certain times of day. Time budgets and analyses of mating behavior of Libellula luctuosa are considered with regard to the males' response to the availability and predictability of females and mating/ ovipositing sites. The behavioral patterns are analyzed with reference to a time-energymaturational-experiential hypothesis for the evolution of the behavior. Extensive comparisons are made between Libellula luctuosa (Burmeister) and Plathemis lydia (Drury).
