Redinov, Kostiantyn, Pavel Panchenko, and Oleg Formaniuk. "Distribution limits of the European mole (Talpa europaea) in the south of Right-Bank Ukraine." Theriologia Ukrainica 2022, no. 24 (December 30, 2022): 131–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.15407/tu2412.
Full textAbstract:
The distribution range of the European mole (Talpa europaea) in the studied region has been presented differently in scientific publications that cover over 180 years of investigation. The current understanding of the species range also varies. Based on museum collections, literature data, own observations and personal communication of colleagues, we specify the border of the species range in the south of Right-bank Ukraine (mainly in the steppe zone). Original data were collected in the course of ornithological surveys in 2016–2021. Other data concern records of the species in 1900–2021; 21 records are confirmed by the collected specimens and 5 by photos. In addition, we list the palaeozoological records of the species. The analysis of data demonstrates that T. europaea in the study area (on the border of its range) is distributed unevenly. It is present along river valleys and forests in Bessarabia and in the Danube Delta and its tributaries (Odesa Oblast, Ukraine). Nearby is located a large enclave of the species in interfluve of the Prut and Dnister rivers (Moldova). From the forest-steppe, where the species is common, it penetrates the steppe zone along river valleys: the Southern Bug (Mykolayiv Oblast) and the Ingulets (Kirovohrad Oblast) and their tributaries. This is confirmed by both previous and recent records. Along the Dnipro River, south of Dnipro City, only palaeozoological records of the species are known (only from Dnipropetrovsk Oblast). In Kherson Oblast, no records of the species are known. The analysis of previous and recent finds of the species allows suggesting that T. europaea has been occurring in the study area for long time. The current climatic conditions, however, hinder the further expansion of the species in the region and/or the increase in its population density within the current range. The statement about the wide distribution of the species in the study area, which appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, in our opinion is based on interviewing data and confusion. The word ‘kroty’ (Ukrainian common name of T. europaea in plural) has been used to name not only T. europaea, but also Nannospalax leucodon, Spalax zemni, and Ellobius talpinus. Additional surveys along river valleys and in forest localities are needed for a more detailed description of the T. europaea distribution in the study region.

Full textAbstract:
The XX-th century had a decisive role in shaping the societies of Eastern Europe. In a short period of time several political ideologies influenced the people causing deep woundsand the effects we face even today.
The Republic of Moldova, The Ukraine and Romania have all fallen under the influence of the soviet ideology. To impose such a drastic change regarding the way of life, social institutions such as the Church, the family and private propriety, special methods had to be used. The Bolshevik ideology did not have any regard for the price of individual life and did not refrain from using violent methods. According to the main communist ideologues famine, torture, propriety nationalization and killings were justified.
The effects of this societal change still affect the region. Romania, The Republic of Moldova and Ukraine must find the understanding for the past and create solutions for the common problems.

Full textAbstract:
After the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Moldova accepted a significant number of Ukrainian refugees (over 100,000 people) and expressed support for Kyiv at the diplomatic level. Moldova continues to provide humanitarian support and cooperate to prevent the threat from the PMR. Ukraine's victory in the war will be an important milestone for increasing Kyiv's political role among European countries and further closer cooperation. Ukraine supports the integrity of Moldova and aims to achieve harmonious and friendly relations with it, so it can be assumed that even in the post-war period, the vector of bilateral relations will be aimed at deepening the cooperation of the border territories, both in the economic, cultural and tourist spheres. The nature of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova can be assessed as close and multifaceted. Within the framework of the three Euroregions, economic, environmental, cultural, and tourist activities are carried out. The cultural component of cooperation, in general, is quite widely and qualitatively presented at the expense of local diasporas and the openness of both sides for the development of local communities. It is connected with tourist activity, which at the moment is actually impossible due to hostilities, but has broad prospects in the future due to the unity of the ethno-cultural component of Bessarabia, which can be used for further joint development.

Full textAbstract:
The book in question examines the various aspects of the life of Bessarabia during the late 18th – early 20th centuries – “Russian time” in its history – through the eyes of Russian scientists and writers. Their focus was both on the individual events in the life of the Bessarabian multiethnic community and the peculiarities of its religion and culture. The rich factual material revealed a significant social distance between the national Moldavian intelligentsia and the illiterate, mainly rural Moldovan population. The process of forming a qualitatively new composition of the population of Bessarabia by the end of the 19th century is analyzed, which allows us to talk about the development of the multi-ethnic phenomenon of Bessarabism. The beginning of the 20th century is the time of development and strengthening of Moldavian national identity in a Russian cultural space. The authors state: the echoes of that time, as well as subsequent events of the 20th century, continue to influence modern ethno-social processes in the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Eastern Europe as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
In the first half of the last century Bessarabia repeatedly faced mass migration born by political and military cataclysms. In the second decade of our century the refugee problem sharply announced itself in Moldova, making actual the historical experience of helping people who fled from military actions. That’s why the author’s attention is paid to the less studied stage in the history of charity in Bessarabia connected with the refugees from the South regions of Russia and Ukraine during the Civil War of 1918–1921. The article examines the journalists’ comprehension of the social and political phenomenon as the problem of refugees reflected in the Russian language newspapers of Kishinev. There is also studied the activity of some public organizations in the Kingdom of Romania that worked with Russian refugees. The daily press, being the main means of communication, played a leading part in the formation of public opinion to support people who had lost their homeland. Kishinev press reflected the refugee theme both in its chronological development and in the context of the social problems of Bessarabia during those years. The newspaper materials serve as a representative historical source, being evidence of traditions of Christian and public charity in the conditions of the new statehood.

Full textAbstract:
Bolboka, Dmitrovka, Eski Troyan, Kurçu, and Satılık-Hacı are five villages in the southern part of Bessarabia which after the Second World War found themselves within the borders of Ukraine. Not much is known about the history of these places, as even the date of foundation of each of them is not fully clear. Since the time when the Gagauz first settled in this area both the borders and nationality issues have changed. While our knowledge of the Tsarist Russia period is relatively ample, the functioning of these villages in the time of Great Romania and in Soviet times remains poorly studied. After the collapse of the USSR, Southern Budjak was within the borders of Ukraine. In contrast to the Republic of Moldova, the Gagauz population failed to gain autonomy from the state of Ukraine. Conse- quent attempts to incorporate individual cities within the Autonomous Territory of Gagauzia, in the current reality, have very little chance of success.

Full textAbstract:
For more than a century, the Slavonic manuscript and printed book collections have attracted attention of numerous Romanian and foreign specialists in the field of philology, history and other adjacent disciplines. The article presents some key points in the history of research of the old Slavonic book from the Bessarabian public collections. In introduction to this study we considered it appropriate to highlight the efforts of the specialists oriented towards common activity of putting various Slavonic manuscript and printed book collections of our country in the scientific circuit and description. The study is based on the collection of Slavonic books published in Lviv, Ostrog, Vilno, Grodno, Kyiv, kept by the National Library of the Republic of Moldova. In this research, the history and provenance of this collection is traced and some aspects related to their circulation in Bessarabia are explained. The presence in the Bessarabian space of the Slavonic books printed in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus confesses cross-cultural relations that existed between our country and those countries from which they came. Today this treasure is interesting to international Slavists and Byzantinologists, since some of these books are based on the translation of the Greek originals.

Full textAbstract:
This study describes a genealogical movement that manifests itself among the Bulgarian ethnic community in the historical territory of Bujak, currently divided between the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The first genealogical work was the pamphlet of the priest Dmitry Chachir from the Bulgarian colony Iserlia – “Biographical sketch of the family Chachir”, published in Chisinau in 1899. In the modern period, genealogical research was of special interest to local historians. In this regard, one of the most famous genealogists is Petar Kairak from the city of Taraklia. In 1992, he published a voluminous biographical work “Olympii Panov”, devoted to this famous Taraklian, who participated in the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire, and then in the construction of the third Bulgarian kingdom. In the mentioned work, a genealogical tree of the Panov family was published for the first time with appropriate explanations and commentary. Later, P. Kairak published a valuable book in two volumes “Genealogical trees of Taraklia” (1999, 2002), also in Russian, which included genealogical trees of the Bulgarian families of this city, reconstructed from the time of their migration to Bessarabia until the end of the 20th century. This work caused a genealogical movement in other places with Bulgarian population in Bujak.

The article analyzes the collecting activities of the Russian Ethnographic Museum employees and amateur local historians of Bessarabia, who have been gathering collections on the Gagauz people ethnography for a century. This fund contains over three hundred material monuments, archival, illustrative and photographic materials on the Gagauz migrants who lived in the territory of Novorossiya (and subsequently in the south of Moldova and in the Odessa Region of Ukraine). Of particular interest is the fact that collecting the materials which characterise the material and spiritual culture of the Gagauz people took place over a long period of time in the same villages. This allows us to trace the dynamics of the development of everyday culture of the Gagauz ethnic group.

Full textAbstract:
Year 2020 was favorable for the critical and essayistic spirit in the Republic of Moldova. The books written in this section offer an overview of current critical thinking, of the most modern perspectives on literature approaching. The concept “arheul marginii”, by Andrei Țurcanu, offers an artistic and sociological grid for evaluating the relationship of the literary margin with the centre, i.e. of Romanian literature on both banks of the Prut, in a social, political and cultural context. The books of Emilian Galaicu Păun and Adrian Ciubotaru address current cultural phenomena (an anthropological vision of death, disease, suffering, etc.), important authors in Romanian and universal literature. Alexandru Burlacu analyses the 60th and 70th creation generations in Bessarabia, Dumitru Apetri – the phenomenon of translations, etc. All together they confirm a viable Bessarabian meta-literary process, connected to the latest Romanian and European literary challenges.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the relationship between the political joke as an alternative literary form to official literature in the Moldavian SSR and the socio-political context. In the first part of the article are designed the terms joke and political joke, and further aspects of the socio-political context of MSSR are pursued, which are starting points in the analysis of the political joke in Soviet Bessarabia. Some themes of political jokes in Bessarabia of the 1940s and 1990s are highlighted, with some examples of jokes “from the people”, collected during field discussions with some citizens of the Republic of Moldova, from the online environment and from a literary periodical magazine from 1988. The article demonstrates the words and expressions of daily life of Bessarabians, who made their way into the political jokes of the Moldavian SSR. The jokes that were presented in the article, as examples of political jokes in the Moldavian SSR, reflect the social and political realities of that time period. In these jokes are told stories that cheer and amuse us through irony, sarcasms, suggestions, especially for the bizarre language that the characters used. The political joke is regarded as a form of satire or humor, being framed in a literary species, namely the species of comic folk prose. This literary form, such as the political joke, was an alternative to the official literature of the MSSR. In this article we analyze two themes on which the satire of political jokes in MSSR focused: the distortion of the Romanian language and the effects of propaganda.

В статията е направен опит да се анализират представите за Сибир у българите в Бесарабия (исторически от края на XVIII в. до началото на XX в. тази територия е в състава на Руската империя, от 1945 до 1991 г. - е в състава на СССР, от 1991 до наши дни е в границите на Молдова и Украйна). Биографичните разкази на родените през първата половина на ХХ в. българи, поколението, което пази спомена за преселването в Сибир в хода на Столипенската реформа (1906) и по време на колхозното строитерство и разкулачването (1946), показват наличието на два модела на възприемане на Сибир - позитивен и негативен, както и това, че вторият оказва значително влияние на представите за Сибир у съвременните поколения българи от Бесарабия. В статье сделана попытка проанализировать представления о Сибири болгар Бессарабии, исторически с конца XVIII до начала XX в. входившей в состав Российской империи, с 1945 по 1991 г. - в состав СССР, а в настоящее время находящейся на территории Украины и Молдавии. Анализ рассказов о переселении в Сибирь в ходе Столыпинской реформы 1906 г. и в процессе раскулачивания в 1946 г., записанных от старшего поколения бессарабских болгар, родившихся в первой половине XX столетия, обнаруживает наличие двух моделей восприятия Сибири - позитивной и негативной. В представлениях современных болгар Бессарабии наблюдается значительное влияние второй модели на первую. The article analyzes views of Siberia on the part of Bulgarians from Bessarabia. From the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century, Bessarabia was a part of the Russian Empire; then, from 1945 to 1991, it was part of the USSR; and currently it is located on the territory of Ukraine and Moldova. Stories about migration to Siberia during the Stolypin reform of 1906 and at the time of de-kulakization in 1946, recorded from the older generation of Bessarabian Bulgarians born in the first half of the 20 th century, reveal two opposing models of perception of Siberia - positive and negative. In the view of modern Bulgarians of Bessarabia, there is a significant influence of the second model on the first one.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the features of implementing EU values in transitional democracies, with a focus on Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. It aims to explore the challenges and successes of these countries in adopting European values and democratic principles, as well as to analyse the impact of such implementation on their social and political development.
Drawing on existing literature and case studies, the article explores the historical and political experience of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova on the way to the implementation of EU values, including their transition from Soviet-style governance to democratic systems.
The analysis highlights the role of political instability, corruption, judicial reforms, and cultural factors in shaping the implementation of EU values, as well as the importance of civil society and EU engagement in promoting democratic reform. In particular, the article emphasizes the role of mentality in shaping public attitudes towards democracy and the rule of law. In particular, the article emphasizes the role of mentality in shaping public attitudes towards democracy and the rule of law. Overall, the article argues that successful implementation of EU values is crucial for the future of democracy and economic development in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. And, that a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach is necessary to overcome the challenges that stand in the way.
The Russian–Ukrainian war, which began in February 2022, has become a global challenge and a threat to the entire democratic concept of Europe. Today, it is clear that the military conflict in Ukraine is a fierce confrontation between democratic and traditional values. Accordingly, Ukraine’s victory will be a fundamental determinant in strengthening and developing European values in the region. That is why, realising this, the EU and most democratic countries are trying to support Ukraine in this struggle in every possible way.

Full textAbstract:
In the present article, the author highlights an important aspect of the RomanianUkrainian literary dialogue: the editing by Ukrainians in the years from 1953 to 1977 of four plurigenural anthological collections from the literary creation and partly from the folklore of the Republic of Moldova. These editions are seen by the researcher as a significant contribution to the above mentioned dialogue. But the dominance of the ideological dictatorship in that period left its negative mark on several works included in anthologies – a fact that determined a value discernment of the material in each editorial unit. This action is accomplished in the hope that the dialogue discussed will be reopened in the upcoming years. Therefore, the author’s comments pursued several purposes: listing the writings that have devalued in the meantime showing the causes of this phenomenon; indication of the selection criteria and directions for the development of new volumes such as plurigenural anthologies.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the sources of regime competitiveness in the post-cold war era through a structured comparison of regime trajectories in Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine, for the period 1992–2004. An examination of these cases suggests the need for a fundamental rethinking of the commonly held view of the transition process—especially in countries that face relatively weak international democratizing pressures. Approaching these countries as unconsolidated autocracies rather than as simply emerging democracies draws attention to key sources of political competition that have largely been ignored in the literature on competitive regimes. Thus, competitive politics in Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine were rooted less in robust civil societies, strong democratic institutions, or leadership than in the inability of incumbents to maintain power or concentrate political control by preserving elite unity, controlling elections, and/or using force against opponents. Such ”pluralism by default” has been the outgrowth of the strength of anti-incumbent national identity and incumbent weakness as defined by a lack of know-how, ineffective incumbent organization, and/or the weakness of certain dimensions of state power.

Abstract This introductory article highlights the main developments in the Republic of Moldova from the breakup of the Soviet Union to the present from the perspective of national sentiment and manifestations. Using Mark Beissinger’s concept of “tides of nationalism”, the article examines the bottom-up ethnic mobilisation between the “quiet” and the “noisy” phases of national projects in Moldova. With the persistence of the “quiet” phase of nationalism, in the last three decades, Moldova’s population transitioned from identification based on ethnicity to one focused on civic coexistence. However, Russia’s attack on Ukraine risks disrupting this balance, while contributing to the resurgence of ethnic sentiment at the expense of civic cohesion. Following an analysis of the literature in the field of “everyday nationalism”, the authors present the contributions to this thematic section, highlighting the relevance of the Republic of Moldova’s case within the regional and international context.

Full textAbstract:
Hâncu Monastery, an old monastic center in the central part of Bessarabia, had an archive and library very rich in documents, manuscripts and printed books, which disappeared after its liquidation in 1950. Some of the printed books were taken by the monks, and when it was reactivated in 1990, they were returned to the monastery. Most of the library’s books were taken to the Hâncu monastery, some of which are still preserved today. Based on the sources, we restored the list of books before the liquidation (118 books), and based on the specialized literature, field research and current literature (75 books). In the library of the Hâncu monastery, there were books printed in Romanian in: Buzau, Iași, Râmnic, Bucharest, Sibiu, Brașov, Vienna, Buda, the Neamț monastery, Chișinău and Saint Petersburg. Fewer have been identified in library and museum holdings. The oldest books in the library of this monastic center were printed in Buzău and date from the end of the 17th century, followed by those from Iași and Bucharest, from the first half of the 18th century. More numerous are the books printed at the Neamț monastery and in Chisinau from the 19th century. The monks from Hâncu were also interested in religious books in Romanian, printed in Brașov, Vienna, Buda, Saint-Petersburg, which circulated in eastern Moldova at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Currently, the library of the Hâncu monastery is being restored, and following research we have identified over 70 Romanian books, preserved in good conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Nikolai Ivanovich Nadezhdin (1804–1856), a Russian philologist, literary and theater critic, philosopher, journalist, editor, historian, archaeologist, ethnographer, art critic, and educator, was the son of a poor village priest. The surname Nadezhdin was given to him by the Ryazan archbishop Theophilact (Rusanov), who pinned great hopes on the boy. N.I. Nadezhdin made a significant contribution to the development of science in Russia. Back in 1834, he spoke of the need to study the Russian language in various fields, in addition to belles-lettres and theological literature. He defended the idea of using philology as a supporting discipline in history. Nadezhdin was one of the founders of historical geography and played a significant role in the formation of ethnography in Russia. In his works, N.I. Nadezhdin focused on the history of Carpathian Rus. His first materials on Rusins appeared when he lived in Odessa. The earliest articles explored the history of Rusins in Bessarabia, the north of which is thought to belong to Carpathian Rus (A Walk in Bessarabia (1839), On the location of the ancient city of Peresechen, belonging to the Uglich people (1844)). In 1840–1841, on behalf of the Odessa educational district trustee D.M. Knyazhevich, Nadezhdin traveled through the southern and West Slavic lands. In his Note on the Journey Through the South Slavic Countries (1842) and in The Report on the Journey Made in 1840 and 1841 in the South Slavic Lands (1844), he mentions the Russian population of Hungary and Transylvania. Unfortunately, according to Nadezhdin, “South-West Russia, whose purest and most unique part was leaving the Russian Empire” was hardly studied by Russian scholars. N.I. Nadezhdin reported about the surviving Russian settlements in Transylvania, whose inhabitants had spoken the “Little Russian language”. He drew attention to the need for further development of the diplomacy of the Danube principalities, especially Moldova, which was initiated by Yu.I. Venelin. Nadezhdin noted that the geographical nomenclature not only in the Moldavian and Wallachian principalities, which were adjacent to Russia, but in Transylvania and Hungary, almost up to the Danube, hides its Slavic and actually Russian nature “under a thick layer of Romanian and Magyar sediment.” In his article On the ethnographic study of the Russian nationality (Notes of the Russian Geographical Society. Book. 2. SPb., 1847), N.I. Nadezhdin once again raised the question of studying the “population of the Russian outside Russia.” He pointed to the “Russian element” in the Austrian Empire, to the Rusins (Rusnaks) living in Galicia and Hungary. The scholar recalled that the remnants of the Russian population could still be found in Transylvania, “At present, in most of the local Russian villages, only women still speak Russian; men, however, refused from their native language for the dominant languages around: Madyar or Volosh. In Moldavia and Wallachia, the presence of the Russian element was even more obvious. Especially in Moldova, where it shines everywhere through the ruling stratum of the Romanian population; and most of all – in the so-called Upper Moldavia (Țara de Sus).”

Full textAbstract:
The introductory article to the special issue “Empire, Colonialism, and Famine in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries” begins by pointing to some recent literature on famine theory, where stress has been made on responses of authorities to famine and on the political nature of modern famines. Literature on the connection between imperial policies, colonial rule, and famines is also briefly discussed. The Soviet Union is treated as an empire in the essay, and some of the literature on this question is also surveyed. The article then offers summaries of and highlights from essays in this volume that resulted from papers presented at two conferences on the theme “Empires and Famines in Comparative Historical Perspective,” held in 2016 in Toronto and in 2017 in Kyiv. These include papers on famine and food policies during World War II in occupied Ukraine and Moldova. Essays on famines in Soviet Ukraine, British-ruled Ireland, and British-ruled Bengal, India, are summarized as well as an essay on Raphaël Lemkin’s views on genocide and famine and an essay that looked at minorities in Mao’s China during the 1958-62 famine. The essay concludes with the observation that the investigation of imperial policies, colonial rule, and famine should be pursued further, especially in the case of the Soviet Union where this line of research is just beginning.

The research explores the current evolution and transformation of the global agricultural market, as well as the appropriate adjustment capacity of the Republic of Moldova's agricultural exports. The article represents a quantitative and qualitative research, which capitalizes the specialized literature and analyses international trade data. The findings showed the agricultural trade of the countries of the world currently registers a fluctuating but markedly increasing trend, becoming truly global as an increasing part of it takes place in global agricultural and food processing value chains. We revealed the characteristics of the global agricultural market, the challenges it faces, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. We have carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the recent evolution of international grain prices, the evolution of Moldovan agricultural exports, addressing the current opportunities for them, arguing that the economy of the Republic of Moldova is highly dependent on trade in agricultural plant products.

Full textAbstract:
There is a substantial body of literature on Russian foreign policy; however, the decision-making aspect remains comparatively less explored. The ambition of this research developed in two directions; on a practical level, it contributes to knowledge on Russia’s foreign policy decision-making and, on a conceptual plane, to scholarship by way of theory development, underpinning academic research on decision-making in foreign policy. Russia’s decision-making was first viewed through the prism of the Rational Actor Model and Incrementalism; however, their utility was found to be limited. Blended models also did not figure strongly. Through the prism of author’s proposed model of Strategic Incrementalism and its principles, this research demonstrates that Russia’s foreign-policy decision-making is far from a case of ‘muddling through,’ it retains a long-term purposefulness, and that its incremental decisions are guided by farsightedness. The simplicity and general applicability of the model potentially suggest its broader utility.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the ecological significance of the phototrophic communities developing in entrance zone of grotto type caves as ecotones and refugiums. Species intrazonality and the dependence of cave species composition on geographic location were considered. The aim of present study was to identify similar caves of different regions based on the species composition of phototrophic communities using own data and data from literature. The empiric basis for investigation was present by phototropic species lists of own studies conducted by standard methods for phototropic species identification, as well as species lists from literature. The most frequently encountered phototrophs were species Chroococcus minutus and Chlorella vulgaris. Their occurrence in all the studied caves was revealed based on the taxonomic analysis. Thus, the intrazonal nature of the flora developed in grotto type caves is partially confirmed. Cluster analysis applying Euclidean distance was used to estimate similarity of the phototrophic communities developed in grotto caves of various genesis. Four clusters were identified: cretaceous caves of the Voronezh region; limestone grottoes of Ukraine and Abkhazia; monastic cells of Moldova and Ukraine; caves of Italy and Hungary. The dependence of the phototrophs biodiversity on the composition of the rocks and the genesis of the cavities was established. The geographical trend of photosynthetic species distribution in the grotto type caves was revealed.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, we aimed to answer the question: what are the peculiarities of corruption in Ukraine? This is a difficult task that cannot be solved within the framework of one article, especially since the problem of corruption is quite widely represented in numerous theoretical and empirical studies. Both theoretical concepts and models, as well as the results of the analysis of the experience of individual countries and groups of countries, have a significant benefit for generalizing ideas about the factors of corruption and ways to reduce it, creating the basis for the development of an effective policy to combat it. The difficulty is that each country has significant differences in the scale, structure, and forms of corruption. This is generally determined by such factors as: the trajectory of the country's development, the size of the economy, the state of the institutional environment, the nature of the political system, cultural and historical experience, etc. The characteristics of corruption in the general and national contexts showed a broad specification of the participants in corrupt actions, which reflects the multidimensional nature of corruption. Its concealment due to the threat of punishment, as well as the permanent development of its schemes and mechanisms, is presented in the typology of corruption. Even though the Index of Corruption Perceptions in Ukraine shows positive dynamics, the country lags behind its neighbors: Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova, and among the countries that are candidates for EU membership, it is in 6-7 place. It is shown that the level of corruption in Ukraine significantly depends on the GNI per capita and the level of civil liberties, while it is not affected by the degree of human development and government efficiency. The role of local elites, which caused the formation of destructive corrupt social networks over a long period of time, should also be attributed to the national characteristics of corruption. This problem has not yet been adequately reflected in the scientific literature. Supplementing the conceptual model of corruption with components related to counteraction factors: the severity of punishments and public condemnation, and their analysis showed that the punishment of corruption in the country is weakened, and in the social environment there is a paradox of tolerance, when the denial of corruption is accompanied by participation in corrupt actions.

Full textAbstract:
For every country in the world trade plays an important role in the fishing industry as an employment center, a food supplier, a source of income, a contribution to economic growth and development, as well as it provides food security and nutrition. In fisheries the fierce competition not only for resources but also for markets is not weakening. Leading fishing states are implementing the strategies aimed at ensuring the excellence in both domestic and foreign markets. The purpose of the work was to find out a current state of the fish and fish products export in Ukraine. Based on the specialized literature a current state of the fish and fish products export in Ukraine has been evaluated. A state of the fish and fish products export in Ukraine from 2015 to 2019 was analyzed; the main consumer countries of Ukrainian fish and fish products were identified; the structure of Ukrainian fish and fish products export was analyzed and the ways to increase the export of Ukrainian fish products in the main fish markets of the World were determined. Nowadays Ukraine has excellent resources for growing and catching fish and is gradually gaining the fish markets of many countries around the world. To develop the fishing industry the state constantly allocates the funds that are to support the industrial species of aquatic bio-resources, especially herbivorous fish, which do not breed naturally in Ukraine, to update the material and technical base for genetic research and cryopreservation work, etc. It was established that in recent years there is a tendency to increase the export of fish and fishery products of Ukraine in the markets of different countries of the World. In 2015 this figure was 6.4 thousand tons of fish and fishery products, and in 2019 it reached 7.6 thousand tons. The main countries that buy Ukrainian fish are: Moldova, Denmark, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Germany. The main export is processed fish products: crab sticks, canned sardines, coleslaw, while sprats or sprats, frozen cod, salmon and other fish.

Full textAbstract:
The work deals with specificities of Ukrainian/Hungarian cross-border cooperation. To begin with, legislative and regulatory frameworks that permitted functioning of Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova within the Carpathian EuroRegion have been described, and key literature sources related to topicality and efficiency of cross-border tourism development were analyzed. Major focus was thus given to disclosure of trends in Ukrainian -Hungarian cross-border tourism, which presupposed the analysis of statistical data related to tourism flows. The figures of the last-decade Ukrainian and Hungarian outbound and inbound tourism are presented and discussed. As was established, tourism flows from Ukraine to Hungary underwent significant changes in the last 10 years showing a 62% growth from 2006 to 2016 (from 1 790 008 to 2 893 370 people). The greatest departure intensity was observed since 2013 with average annual gain by 200-300 thousand people. Instead, the Hungary-to-Ukraine direction is specific for instability throughout the whole period of observations. It was 1–1,2 million Hungarians who annually visited Ukraine in 2006–2008. In particular, organized tourism shared 8% out of the wholeflow in 2006. Beginning from 2007, this share declined to 1% and stayed unchanged through the next five years. Insignificant decrease in tourist arrivals to Ukraine was in 2009-2014. The last 3 years witness some growth of tourist flows at a rate of 200 thousand people annually on the average. Since all present-day trends observed in the market of cross-border tourism services are connected with realization of programs for cross-border cooperation, the effect of such programs (in particular, those to support implementation and development of recreation/tourism infrastructure in Zakarpattia Oblast in Ukraine and the Megye of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg in Hungary) was assessed. It was established that both regions possess considerable natural, historic-cultural and architectural potentials that are well worth the efforts to develop tourism infrastructure and realize cross-border routes. Perspective directions of cross-bordertourism development were outlined to be as follows: sports/rehabilitative and adventure tourism; green rural tourism; ecotourism; treatment/health-improving tourism; enogastronomy; religious tourism; educational tourism with accentuation on monuments of history, archaeology, culture and ethnography; and event tourism.

Full textAbstract:
The study of the set of problems of Ukraine’s post-war restoration and derivative issues of the state’s European integration course involves, first of all, substantiation of the optimal strategic directions of the relevant restoration policy. Generalization of the world experience in the development and implementation of post-war restoration policy serves as an epistemological and scientific-practical basis for the following strategic directions of Ukraine’s restoration: the creation of a transport and logistics cluster based on the expansion of the international alliance – the Lublin Triangle cooperation platform. Expansion of the Lublin Triangle provided that Ukraine takes the necessary measures, is quite realistic by adding to Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine the Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria (later, perhaps, also Slovakia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan). In the article, the authors elaborate on their idea, which is substantiated in the Ukrainian and foreign scientific literature, to create the mentioned transport and logistics cluster using a network of transport logistics hubs in the context of the proposed expansion of the Lublin Triangle. Another new historic chance for Ukraine in this area (and in a broader institutional and economic sense) may be the expected invitation to join Germany, France, and Poland in the Weimar Triangle alliance. Based on the analysis of the economic, scientific, and technical state of domestic railway engineering enterprises, the problems and prospects of their wide cooperation with enterprises of Poland, the Baltic States, the Czech Republic, Germany, and France in the sub-sectors of production of locomotives and rolling stock, wagons and special equipment are considered. The appropriate regulatory regime that can ensure the practical implementation of the proposed cooperation (as well as in the broader context of the practical implementation of Ukraine’s post-war restoration policy) should be the creation of a network of special economic zones.

Full textAbstract:
Following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns, heightened anti-Roma rhetoric became noticeable across much of Europe. This article focuses on the narrative according to which Roma communities represented a threat to public health and which will be analysed through the lens of the theoretical work on moral panics. The empirical data used in this paper was obtained in the framework of a project investigating the impact of the pandemic on Roma communities in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine, between March–June 2020.
Using the literature on moral panics as a framework of interpretation, this article aims to shed light on the processes leading to high levels of social consensus as to the threat to public health posed by Roma communities in these countries. To do so, it outlines the narratives disseminated in mass media, as well as the subsequent narratives and policy responses employed by public authorities, showing how the latter legitimised the alarming reports publicised by the former, engendering a strong societal response which conformed with the framework of a moral panic.

Full textAbstract:
The present study brings to the foreground of discussions a certain type of artefacts, the importance of which in the process of analysing archaeological finds is difficult to overestimate, but which, unfortunately, was not used by the researchers to the proper extent. Thus, in the specialised literature there is no single work on the Iron Age brooches that were discovered on the present-day territory of the Republic of Moldova. Moreover, even when some specimens were introduced into scientific circulation, their publication was very sketchy, often without a clear and precise presentation of the context, and the illustrations accompanying incomplete texts in most cases are not clear enough for detailed analysis. Based on this situation, we decided to fill this historiographic gap and at the first stage we devoted our research to the iron brooches of the early La Tène scheme found on the territory of the Republic of Moldova. As a result of the investigation, a lot was allocated, consisting of 12 specimens, most of which were found on the territory of the Getic hillforts on the right bank of the Dniester. The degree of preservation of the items leaves much to be desired. The number of undamaged brooches is relatively small, and those preserved fragmentarily create sufficient impediments for the possibilities of classification. Despite these circumstances, a catalogue of early La Tène scheme brooches was developed, on the basis of which the main analogies were identified both in the neighbouring areas (Romania and Ukraine), and in Central Europe. We focused on tracing the chronological landmarks for the existing analogies, as well as evaluating the chronological framework of the presented artefacts. At the same time, we set out to follow the ways and means by which these brooches reached the Prut-Dniester area and, where possible, to highlight probable phenomena and processes that were behind the respective distribution of this type of artefacts.

During the past two decades, with the development of private search using a special equipment, the number of known coins has increased dramatically, opening up the new opportunities for researchers.
The aim of the study. Some of these finds, mainly treasures, have been the subject of the specialized research or have been the part of various numismatic publications, which cannot be said of isolated finds that have only been partially covered in the scientific literature. At the same time, the individual finds are not inferior to informative treasures, allowing a reconstructing the monetary circulation of a single settlement or city, its economic potential, interregional trade relations and many other aspects that contribute together to the restoration of the historical past. Over the last 10-15 years, the authors of this article have been systematically collecting information about the medieval coins found in Ukraine, some of which have an exact location. Thus, the purpose of this article is the gradual introduction into scientific circulation of the numismatic material originating from the territory of modern Ukraine with its full description, illustrations and outlines, references to current works and catalogues. It opens a series of articles on issues of the XV and XVII centuries, namely the Moldavian coins of Alexander I the Good, Stephen III the Great and one piece of the crown solidus of Sigismund III, found with them. Within the 22 coins described in the article, about 10 were found: 6 coins originate from Chernivtsi region, 1 piece of Moldovan coins were founded in Vinnytsia, Poltava, Volyn and Lviv regions. Other coins were also found on the territory of modern Ukraine, the authors do not know the exact places of their discovery. The Conclusions. The topographic distribution of the finds indicates that the main zone of concentration of Moldavian coins falls on the Chernivtsi region, which is quite natural, given that these lands, mentioned in written sources under the name of Shipinska land (terra Sepenicensis), were was included the part of the Moldavian principality since the end of XIV century. The distribution of Moldovan coin finds in Ukraine corresponds to the same international trade routes that connected Central Europe with the Crimean Peninsula, passing through the territory of modern Ukraine and Moldova, known as «Tatar» and «Moldovan» trade routes; and the mediating the role played by the lands of the Principality of Moldavia in this trade.

Full textAbstract:
The active development of the problems related to the assessment of the role of the pedosphere in global climate change involves the possibility of application of the quantitative determination of soil organic carbon (SOC) as one of the indicators of a climatic response. Here, the authors have summarized the results of their own research over many years (1985–2023), comprising more than 500 determinations of SOC within the area of the Chernozem zone, in the south of the East European Plain (Moldova and Bessarabia, southern Ukraine, southwestern Russia), in the context of regional climate differentiation using evaluations of climatic energy consumption for soil formation. The data were structured for each of the regions through the creation of series of agrogenic soil transformations (virgin land, modern-day ploughed land (<100 years), continually ploughed land (>100 years), fallow land of the modern era (n·10 years), and post-antique long-term fallow land). It has been established, by means of statistical treatment of the data, that the intraregional differentiation of the bioclimatic conditions is the key factor determining the SOC content in the top horizon of soils in the south of the East European Plain. The comparison of the SOC content within the five variants of land use demonstrated that all the regions under study differed, with statistical significance only found in a single type of ‘continually ploughed land’ (>100 years). This fact reflects the leading role of the duration of agrarian loads in agropedogenesis. If the steppe Chernozems even 145 years ago had a SOC content of up to 4%, then the Chernozems in the forest-steppe zone, which used to have habitats with a SOC content of 4–7%, occupied the largest areas, and have now lost 30–40% of the original values in the 0–50 cm layer. Besides the rates of the SOC degradation, which are known and are comprehensively evaluated in the present work, the phenomenon of progradation was established in certain situations, in particular arising during the rotation regime of land use (from ploughing to fallow fields, and vice versa), which stimulated effective mechanisms of reproduction of organic substances. Thus, in one of the ancient agricultural regions, where in antiquity the land was cultivated by such ancient Greek states as Tauric Chersonesos and the European Bosporos in Crimea, post-antique long-term fallow lands possess higher SOC contents than their virgin analogues. It is not justified to consider virgin lands as absolute references for the evaluation of the humus conditions since the analysis of agrogenic series of Chernozems has corroborated an essential role of the soil organo-mineral matrix in the formation of the carbon protection capacity.

There are treatment options with partially shown efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. A drug with proven effect on survival has not yet been developed for the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) defined in December 2019. Many chemicals that are being used or developed for different indications have been used for COVID-19 treatment, based on their effects observed in in vitro studies. Favipiravir, one of these drugs, was first used in Wuhan, the starting center of the pandemic. Since the spread of the infection to the world, it has been used in our country as well as countries such as Italy, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Moldova and Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Egypt, India. There are few studies conducted and published to evaluate the effectiveness of favipiravir, but many studies are ongoing. In this review, it was aimed to review and evaluate the studies and case reports reporting the efficacy of favipiravir in the treatment of COVID-19. With the literature search, 223 results were reached, 210 articles were fully accessed, and a total of 34 articles were included in the analysis. In the scope of the review, under the title of pharmacology of favipiravir, adverse effects and drug interactions in addition to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties are mentioned. Favipiravir is one of the options for the treatment of COVID-19 patients, but randomized, controlled trials involving much more patients and longer follow-up periods need to be planned and the results of ongoing trials evaluated.

The article deals with the study of architectural, local and historical literature, analyzes the formation of the architecture of Prykarpattia in the prehistoric (primordial) period, the architecture of Prykarpattia in the Ancient, Middle Ages, New and Modern periods. In each historical period, we have identified stages associated with important social and political changes in the Carpathian region and are the drivers of changes in the architecture of the region. The historical prerequisites for the formation of the cultural heritage of the Carpathian region from the earliest stage to the present are determined, which includes the evolution and development of society and the emergence of socio-economic relations, the emergence of complex political entities such as the Principality of Galicia, and later the Galicia-Volyn state, the change of religion and the expansion of foreign economic relations connections, raids of Crimean Tatars and Turks the emergence of firearms and the conquest of the Carpathian territories by Poland, Austria-Hungary, Moldova and the entry into the USSR.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the new and little-known historical facts about Jakub Szela, a leader of the peasant uprising in Western Galicia in 1846, also known as the Galician Massacre, against Polish landowners, nobility, government officials and Catholic priests. The authors emphasize the Rusin origin of Jakub Szela and many other uprising participants, which explains both the reasons for and nature of these peasant uprisings accompanied by brutal murders in Western Galicia. These controversies originate from the social, national, and religious contradictions unresolved by the Polish administration. Jacub Szela suffered from oppression, humiliation and deprivation from the representatives of the privileged classes, which united him with other famous historical figures who led peasant and Cossack popular uprisings and riots and headed robber bands and insurgent groups in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Ukraine. The authors argue that Jacub Szela’s activities were progressive, although the opinions and judgements about them now are polarized. The Austrian Empire and Russia played a noticeable role in the suppression of the Polish liberation movement in the middle of the 19th century. The authors emphasize that the Galician uprising of 1846 coincided with the Polish liberation movement and did much to counteract it. Finally, Jacub Szela and his associates achieved their main goal – the abolition of serfdom and corvee labor in Galicia.

The article examines the role of political parties in modern state-building processes in Ukraine. The place of political parties in the political and legal system of society is determined. The general directions of overcoming problematic situations of activity of political parties in Ukraine are offered. It is noted that political parties play an important role in the organization and exercise of political power, act as a kind of mediator between civil society and public authorities, influence the formation of public opinion and the position of citizens directly involved in elections to public authorities and local governments. It is determined that in a modern democratic society, political parties carry out their activities in the following areas: the work of representatives of political parties in public authorities and local governments; participation in elections of state authorities and local self-government bodies; promoting the formation and expression of political will of citizens, which involves promoting the formation and development of their political legal consciousness. These areas of political parties determine their role and importance in a modern democratic society, which determines the practical need to improve their activities and improve the national legislation of Ukraine in the field of political parties. Political parties are one of the basic institutions of modern society, they actively influence the ac-tivities of public authorities, economic and social processes taking place in the state and so on. It is through political parties that the people participate in the management of public affairs. Expressing the interest of different social communities, they become a link between the state and civil society. The people have the opportunity to delegate their powers to political parties, which achieves the ability of the people to control political power in several ways, which at the same time through competition of state political institutions and political parties contributes to increasing their responsibility to the people. It is noted that the political science literature has more than 200 definitions of political parties. And approaches to the definition of this term significantly depend on the general context in which this issue was studied by the researcher. It was emphasized that today in Ukraine there are important issues related to the activities of political parties. First of all, it is a significant number of registered political parties that are incapable, ie their political activity is conducted formally or not at all. According to official data from the Department of State Registration and Notary of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, 352 political parties are registered, of which 48 political parties do not actually function. The reason for the liquidation of such parties is not to nominate their candidates for the election of the President of Ukraine and People's Deputies of Ukraine for 10 years. According to this indicator, Ukraine ranks first among other European countries. Thus, 73 political parties are officially registered in Latvia, 38 in Lithuania, 45 in Moldova, 124 in Romania, and 56 in Slovakia. However, despite the large number of officially registered political parties in Ukraine, public confidence in their activities is low. It is concluded that political parties occupy a special place in the political and legal system of society and play an important role in the organization and exercise of political power, as well as a kind of mediator between civil society and public authorities. The general directions of overcoming problematic situations of activity of political parties in Ukraine are offered, namely: introduction of effective and impartial control over activity of political parties; creating conditions for reducing the number of political parties, encouraging their unification; establishment of effective and efficient sanctions for violation of the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine by political parties.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The increase in the complexity of the social and political situation of Eastern European countries raises questions about securitization of national and ethnic minorities and its impact on the management of ethno-politics in the countries of the subregion. Ethnopolitical management corresponds to the security of the subregion. Research interest in securitization of minority affairs is current, especially after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Research aims. The purpose is to define the role of securitization of national and ethnic minorities issues in the management of ethno-politics in Eastern European countries. The research area encompasses: Belarus, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The author asks the following research questions: 1) What are the areas of securitization of the issues of national and ethic minorities concerned? 2) How does the securitization of the issues of national and ethnic minorities take place? 3) How does the securitization affect the process of ethnopolitical management in the studied countries? Methodology. An interdisciplinary research approach was applied, integrating methods from political science, international relations and management. The conclusions from author’s own research carried out during foreign study trips in the years 2014–2017 were used. The literature has an interdisciplinary aspect. The realization of the goal is based on the application of a catalogue of research methods, including in detail, the following methods are mainly used in the research: system analysis; comparative method; behavioral method; a qualitative approach was also used in the realized research. The article uses the method of critical analysis of literature, where the concept of securitization is referred to. Key findings. The role of securitization of national and ethnic minorities in the management of ethnopolitics in the countries of Eastern Europe is diversified (it concerns different minorities and different areas). Uncontrolled may lead to deepening of the subregion’s security crisis (inter alia, to ethnopolitical conflicts), hindering the process of ethnopolitical management.

Introduction:The Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Strategic Advisory Group of the WHO has endorsed the EMT Minimum Data Set (MDS) Daily Reporting Form in 2017 and the revised EMT Minimum Standards of the WHO suggests EMTs report it regularly in case national reporting forms are not available.Method:This study searched and listed previous use cases of the MDS by reviewing published papers including gray literature and interviews with national authorities, organizations, and experts.Results:In 2019, the MDS had been activated for the first time in Mozambique during international scale response at the tropical cyclone Idai; also in Japan it was used at the typhoon Faxai/Hagibis response; further in the Independent State of Samoa during the measles outbreak. In 2020, the MDS was used during a COVID-19 mega-cluster incident on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship in Japan, the tropical cyclone Harold in Vanuatu and the Kumamoto Heavy Rain in Japan. In 2021, the one was used during the Izuyama landslide response in Japan; and the typhoon Rai response in the Philippines. In 2022, it was used during the cyclone Batsirai response in Madagascar; and in Moldova, Poland, and Ukraine to respond to the armed conflict situation in Ukraine.Many countries are preparing to use the form; in 2022 the Association of SouthEast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has officially endorsed the form as a regional standard form for EMT daily reporting. Military partners also were testing the form, in 2019 forces from eight nations at the 39th Cobra Gold 20 in Thailand used the form for training purposes.Conclusion:The MDS was used in at least 14 emergencies in nine countries. Mozambique and Japan have published academic literature using the MDS. The use of MDS would strengthen Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (H-EDRM) in a data-based manner.

Full textAbstract:
This article positions the social violence against Roma in Eastern Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic in historical perspective. It is based on primary data derived from the project Marginality on the Margins of Europe – The Impact of COVID-19 on Roma Communities in Non-EU Countries in Eastern Europe, collected in 2020 by researchers in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine. This data is contextualised with the help of secondary literature on historical epidemics and pandemics, as well as societal responses to them, with a particular focus on the ensuing scapegoating of minorities in certain cases. The article first makes the case for the importance of historicising such responses to pandemics in different contexts as a safeguard against ‘exceptionalising’ either the ongoing pandemic or the Roma minority. Further, it argues against a reductionist perspective that treats the Roma primarily – or even exclusively – along the lines of their representing a ‘national minority’, a concept that is heavily tilted toward a cultural-linguistic definition of the group. In contrast, it posits that hate speech and racist incidents against the Roma in the context of the pandemic (and more generally) are better understood by factoring in the intersection of race and class, where the long-standing racialization of the Roma in Eastern Europe is inflected by the latter as much as the former. Finally, zooming out from the case study under consideration to consider other instances of ‘Othering’ encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic, it draws attention to the different scales at which exclusion operates, and to the advantages provided by an awareness of the multiple spatial and temporal layers constitutive of such a scalar approach.

Full textAbstract:
For Armenia, Belarus, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, the basic forms of self-identification of states are described: the declaration of an official position on the assessment of historical events; the adoption of memorial laws, by which criminal liability can be established for expressing a position on facts of the past that does not correspond to the state’s position; and a policy for awards based on positive examples in the history of the country. Based on normative legal acts, officially adopted concepts and strategies, as well as a review of literature, this article identifies such models of official remembrance policy that have developed in the post-Soviet space as the defense of historical truth and historical memory, the requirement to recognize crimes committed in the past, the denial of the positive aspects of a particular stage of history, the search for state and social identity in the distant past, and its mythologization. The causes for mainstreaming history at the present stage and reflection of this process in the complex relationship of history and memory are considered. The stages of updating historical knowledge for states and peoples of the post-Soviet space are highlighted. Features of the award policy, various concepts underlying the award systems in the former republics of the Soviet Union, as well as general historical assessments of specific events and personalities are shown, even in the face of divergence of the official remembrance policy. The authors make conclusions about the adequate strategy leading to long-term results, aimed at joint experiencing the traumatic events of the past by the states and peoples, drawing lessons from them and determining ways to further development without creating an image of the enemy.

Full textAbstract:
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can bring in much needed capital, particularly in emerging markets, help improve manufacturing and trade sectors, bring in more efficient technologies, increase local production and exports, create jobs and develop local skills, bring about improvements in soft and hard infrastructure and overall be a contributor to sustainable economic growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With all these desirable features, it becomes relevant to ascertain the factors which attract FDI to an economy or a group of adjacent economies. This paper explores the determinants of FDI in six Former Soviet Union (FSU): Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Russia, Moldova and Kazakhstan. After an extensive literature review of theories and empirical research and using a set of cross-sectional data over the period 1995–2017, an ARDL model is estimated with FDI/GDP as the dependent variable. Inflation, exchange rate changes, openness, economy size (GDP), Income levels (GNI per capita), Infrastructure (measured by the number of fixed line and mobile subscription per 100 persons) are tested as independent variables for explanatory power in long run and short run relationships. Over the period, higher inflows of FDI in relation to GDP appear to be have been attracted to the markets with better infrastructure, smaller markets and higher income levels, with lower openness, depreciation in the exchange rate and higher income levels though the coefficients of the last three variables are not significant. The results show the type of FDI attracted to investments in this region and are evaluated from theoretical and practical view points. Policy recommendations are made to enhance FDI inflows and further economic development in this region. Such a study of this region has not been made in the past. JEL: C21, F21, F23.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the research topic is justified by the growing number of cases of domestic violence in the period of lockdown restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic introduced by governments around the world. These include: lockdown, restrictions on social contacts and mobility. They aim at slowing down the spread of COVID-19. Financial insecurity, increased stress due to changes in typical daily behavior and social isolation, possibility of perpetrators to control their victims in everyday life during long period of time have resulted in increased level of aggression and growing number of cases of domestic violence. The international community recognizes domestic violence as one of the most common violations of human rights and freedoms of women, men, the elderly persons, children. Almost everywhere in the world, governmental agencies and various civil society organizations consolidate their effort in order to address this problem, emphasizing its concealment and complexity, as well as gaps in legislation framework regulating prevention and combating such violations. This article analyzes the best international practices of addressing domestic violence during the pandemic, as study of these practices can be useful to Ukrainian society for developing its own programs to combat domestic violence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to specific objectives of the research, a theoretical analysis of the scientific literature and foreign Internet sources was conducted to find out specific measures taken in different countries to address domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed practices of combating domestic violence in Canada, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Moldova, and Belarus and identified key actions taken by governments and leading civil society organizations in these countries. The selected practices encourage critical assessment, deeper study and consideration of implementing the best of them in Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
The prevalence of eating disorders can vary widely across population groups. It is necessary to estimate the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa worldwide, especially outside the Western Europe countries, America, and Australia, where most epidemiological studies have been conducted. Thus, the objective of the present review was to investigate the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in Eastern European countries. Based on the WorldAtlas, we included a total of 10 countries, including Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine, in our assessment. The literature search was performed across the PubMed and PsycInfo databases. Additionally, the results obtained from Google Scholar searches were supplemented. The review was based on publications (papers and/or abstracts) solely in the English language. Before the 1989 democratic transformation, the two eating disorders in question were not studied in Eastern Europe. The review found that the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa has risen in eight out of 10 Eastern European countries over the three past decades. In several studies, the prevalence estimates were based on sparse data. To date, no studies have been published on the prevalence of the two eating disorders in Belarus and Bulgaria. The studies were limited to prevalence surveys only. Furthermore, the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in Eastern European countries has been investigated using different measures and, in many cases, non-representative and relatively small population samples. Despite these limitations, the existing data demonstrate that anorexia and bulimia are prevalent in these countries. Future epidemiological studies, and comparable prevalence estimates, are needed for the realistic assessment of the scale of the problem of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa across Eastern Europe.

High priority of soil-transmitted helminths worldwide and in the Russian Federation is due to their vast distribution and the severe pathological features they induce in humans. Recently, it was observed that awareness of clinicians regarding this disease category was markedly decreased, although no significant decline of the disease occurrence has been recorded, whereas rate of imported cases of parasitic diseases including soil-transmitted helminths like strongyloidiasis mainly originating from subtropical or tropical countries rose in non-endemic regions. Lack of alertness on diseases like strongyloidiasis impedes timely diagnostics and treatment. Global prevalence of strongyloidiasis was estimated to range within 30—100 million people, however the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that it was underestimated as precise data in endemic countries remain unknown. The occurrence of these helminths has been recorded in regions of temperate-continental climate: Western Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the Caucasus, Central Asia, as well as in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean region. In the Russian Federation locally acquired infections are frequently recorded in the Krasnodar Territory and Rostov Region. Here, based on multi-year experience in management of patients with strongyloidiasis we present our data and brief review of publications and systematic literature related to the challenges of its clinical picture, diagnostics and treatment. Life cycle, basic biological parameters of free-living helminth in nature and distinctive features of autoinfection related to strongyloidiasis were reviewed. Special attention was paid to the risk of developing severe forms (hyperinfection and disseminated strongyloidiasis) especially in immunocompromised hosts: HIV infection, radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy, long-term corticosteroid use. Difficulties in diagnosing Strongy-loides stercoralis infection are due to its polymorphic and non-specific clinical manifestations, as well as the lack of clinical knowledge and awareness about the disease. Clinical importance of parasitological methods for larvae detection was underlined. It was noted that the drug of choice in therapy of strongyloidiasis is ivermectin unapproved yet in Russia, whereas albendazole as an alternative drug exerts poorer efficacy, justifying a need to repeat treatment courses to establish full recovery from the disease.

Abstract. Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most important gases emitted from agricultural practices. It affects air quality and the overall climate and is in turn influenced by long-term climate trends as well as by short-term fluctuations in local and regional meteorology. Previous studies have established the capability of the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) series of instruments, aboard the Metop satellites, to measure ammonia from space since 2007. In this study, we explore the interactions between atmospheric ammonia, land and meteorological variability, and long-term climate trends in Europe. We investigate the emission potential (Γsoil) of ammonia from the soil, which describes the soil–atmosphere ammonia exchange. Γsoil is generally calculated in-field or in laboratory experiments; here, and for the first time, we investigate a method which assesses it remotely using satellite data, reanalysis data products, and model simulations. We focus on ammonia emission potential in March 2011, which marks the start of growing season in Europe. Our results show that Γsoil ranges from 2 × 103 to 9.5 × 104 (dimensionless) in fertilized cropland, such as in the North European Plain, and is of the order of 10–102 in a non-fertilized soil (e.g., forest and grassland). These results agree with in-field measurements from the literature, suggesting that our method can be used in other seasons and regions in the world. However, some improvements are needed in the determination of mass transfer coefficient k (m s−1), which is a crucial parameter to derive Γsoil. Using a climate model, we estimate the expected increase in ammonia columns by the end of the century based on the increase in skin temperature (Tskin), under two different climate scenarios. Ammonia columns are projected to increase by up to 50 %, particularly in eastern Europe, under the SSP2-4.5 scenario and might even double (increase of 100 %) under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. The increase in skin temperature is responsible for a formation of new hotspots of ammonia in Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary, Moldova, parts of Romania, and Switzerland.

St. Tikhons' University Review 110 (February 28, 2023): 72–89. http://dx.doi.org/10.15382/sturii2023110.72-89.
Full textAbstract:
The article characterizes the cultural and educational work of the diocesan departments of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (IOPS) on the national outskirts of the Russian Empire in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. It is noted that the main form of this work was the organization and holding of Palestinian readings aimed at popularizing knowledge about the Holy Land, the Russian pilgrimage, the activities of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society in the Middle East, as well as publishing literature on relevant topics in national languages. Its deployment dates back to the mid-1890s. and continued until 1917. The western provinces of the Russian Empire were a field of collision and interaction between two civilizations - Catholic (Polish-Lithuanian) and Orthodox (East Slavic). In their confrontation, a local national identity (Belarusian, Ukrainian) was formed, and the work of the IOPS can be considered as one of the tools for involving the local population in solving problems common to the Orthodox world, with the help of which they realized their organic connection with the “Russian world”. The high activity of diocesan departments on the territory of Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, the popularity of Palestinian readings are revealed. It is concluded that there is no national specificity in the organization and conduct of Palestinian readings by the "Ukrainian" and "Belarusian" diocesan departments of the IOPS. Where the Russian population was in an absolute minority (Poland, Georgia), the activities of the IOPS were aimed at representatives of the diaspora and almost did not affect local residents. In such regions as the Volga region, Siberia, the European North, northwestern Kazakhstan, the activity of the IOPS was linked with missionary work. It is indicated that the diocesan departments of the IOPS have contributed to the Christian enlightenment of the "foreign" population recently converted to Orthodoxy, to the fight against pagan remnants, various superstitions and prejudices. The expansion of the scale of pilgrimage to the Holy Land was noted as one of the consequences of the cultural and educational work of the IOPS.
