MACROECONOMIC STABILITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES: EVOLUTION AND NEW CHALLENGES
No full textThe objective of this article is to analyse the processes of macroeconomic stabilisation in Central and Eastern European countries over the past thirty years (1991-2021), from the inception of market reforms to the present day. At the same time, the author aims to identify patterns and trends in the macroeconomic policies of these countries, which were formed under the influence of radical structural changes, economic cycles and the global financial crisis of 2008. Methodology. In order to analyse the data, the correlation between variables was measured. The volatility of macroeconomic indicators was gauged using the standard deviation. Based on panel regressions with fixed effects, models were created to demonstrate the influence of macroeconomic stability on economic growth in 15 countries across Central and Eastern Europe over a 30-year period (1991-2021). Results. The analysis using panel regressions with fixed effects shows a significant impact of macroeconomic stability indicators on economic growth after the 2008 global financial crisis, compared to a very small impact during the 2000-2008 boom. The growth of indicators of the real effective exchange rate and total official reserves have a positive impact on economic growth during the boom, while the impact of these indicators decreases significantly in the post-crisis period, and the impact of the lending rate, the current account balance and the unemployment rate increases. It should be noted that the dominant positive factor influencing economic growth in all periods is the budget balance and the weak influence of the exchange rate. Practical implications. The author identifies certain combinations of macroeconomic indicators to create a successful macroeconomic policy for sustainable economic growth in Central and Eastern Europe. Value / Оriginality. The paper assesses and analyses the relationship between macroeconomic stability and economic growth in Central and Eastern European countries during both recession and boom periods, as well as in the post-crisis downturn after 2008, in order to achieve stable welfare, confidence in the future for the whole society and the success of long-term investment projects
ECONOMIC AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDAMENTALS OF THE DIVERGENCE OF DEVELOPMENT PATHS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
No full textAbstract. An analysis of the divergence of economic development paths of Eastern European countries (Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia) that joined the EU in 2004 and of the European post-Soviet states (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova) for the past twenty years with an emphasis on trade and financial openness is carried out in the article. A detailed description of institutional mechanisms and institutional changes in the economies of these two groups of countries is presented. In my opinion, in order to ensure a sustainable economic development and sustainable economic growth, the macroeconomic equilibrium has to be supplemented by the institutional equilibrium. The equilibrium criteria have to match the actual functions of the institutions, assigned to them by society, and contribute to the development of the whole society along with formation of the middle class.Key words: economic development, economic growth, institutional change, transition economy, Central and Eastern Europ
Labor productivity in the agriculture, structural shifts and economic growth in the Central and Eastern European countries
No full textPurpose. In our article, we assess the scope and directions of changes in agricultural labor productivity compared to other sectors of the economy. Methodology / approach. For our survey we choose 15 countries: (і) EU countries – Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well (іі) post-Soviet European countries – Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, russia and also (ііі) Albania for period 1996–2019. We use an empirical methodology designed to analyze structural decomposition of labor productivity into the growth effect within the sector and structural dynamic and static effects, often called ‘shift-share analysis’. We analyze process of convergence of sectoral labor productivity and its impact on economic growth. Results. Labor productivity grows in the agricultural sector of the economy at the fastest rate, on average by almost 12 % per year. The growth effects within the industry takes a dominant position in all sectors of the economy in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and its share is on average 88.5 %, and the structural effects are as follows: the dynamic effect is almost 1%, the static effect is 10.4 %. We have confirmed that the agricultural sector is gaining weight in the economic growth of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the influence of the service sector is increasing, although together they do not exceed the influence of the growth of value added in industry. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time we have used the methodology of decomposition of labor productivity growth into three effects: growth, dynamic and static ones for the period before the financial crisis 2008 and after the crisis for 15 countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Using panel GLS estimator with fixed effects we estimate the impact of labor productivity on economic growth in different sectors for 1991–2020 period. Practical value / implications. The main results of the study can be used for elaboration of effective economic policy in agriculture development in Central and Eastern European countries; for identification of structural shifts in labor productivity in different sectors of the economy before and after the financial crisis; for estimation of the level of convergence between different sectors of the economy; determining main factors of increasing value added in agriculture in Ukraine and other Central and Eastern European countries; implementation structural changes in economy in the period of crisis

No full textURI Disambiguation in the Context of Linked Data
No full textThe Linked Data initiative has given rise to an increasing number of RDF datasets, many of which are freely accessible online. These resources often arise as a result of database exports; however sufficient consideration may not be given to the unseen implications caused when they are used in the wider context of the Semantic Web. This paper investigates two popular resources, DBLP and DBpedia, and discusses whether the issues regarding identity management and co-reference resolution have been suitably addressed. We find that a large percentage of authors in DBLP have been conflated, and that disambiguation pages have been incorrectly linked using owl:sameAs within DBpedia. Systems for dealing with these issues are presented, and directions are given for future research

Summary
Mostly Will Roger`s phenomenon means existence of so-called "jumping" or "jumping over the stages" regional metastases in the stomach cancer patients. N1 in the 6th edition means 16 regional lymph nodes involvement, while the N1 seventh edition – only 1-2 of regional lymph nodes involvement. This means that T1N1Mo \ 6th and T1N1Mo \ 7th - not quite the same, and the survival of the two groups will be different. The study, made on the abdominal oncosurgical department of Odessa Regional Oncology Center, included 188 patients operated for gastric cancer in the period 2007-2011. The study included only radically treated patients. Comparison of survival in patients with gastric cancer between 6th revision groups of 7th has been reviewed. The classification mission is to provide differences in the survival rates between the groups.
Regression multivariate Cox analysis showed that 7th UICC classification showed different capability of stratifying survival groups of UICC N classification (P \ 0.01).

Combined Optical And Electrical Analysis of AlGaN-Based Deep-UV LEDs Reliability
No full textThis paper describes an analysis of the reliability of AlGaN-based
deep-UV Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) emitting in the range 280-
340 nm. LEDs have been aged at their nominal operating current,
and during treatment their electrical and optical characteristics have
been continuously monitored.
Measurement results show that (i) constant current stress can
induce degradation of the optical power emitted by the devices; (ii)
degradation is more prominent at low measuring current level, thus
suggesting that efficiency decrease is related to the generation of
non-radiative paths; (iii) degradation does not imply a significant
variation of the operating voltage of the devices, thus indicating that
the characteristics of the ohmic contacts are stable over stress time;
(iv) optical power decrease takes place together with modifications of
the C-V apparent charge profiles, indicating that the generation of
non-radiative paths is related to charge instabilities in the QW region

Summary
A study on the expression of oncoproteins in stomach` carcinomas, has been turned into a real research basically due to the abundance of results and their comprehensive interpretations. The study carried out on the abdominal onco-surgical department of Odessa Regional Oncology Center, included a study of 188 patients operated on for gastric cancer (GC) between 2007-2011. In all cases was performed the so-called lymphadenectomy for the principal reason of extensive preventive biopsy of visually unchanged lymph nodes. We spend a multivariate analysis of interactions between the expression of oncoproteins p53, VEGFR-3, erbB2, Ki67 and micro involvement of tumor vasculature (ly, v), the local growth (T), the presence of residual tumor tissue (the R), the degree of tumor differentiation (the G) the degree of regional lymph nodes involvement (N) and type of infiltration (Inf α, β, Inf Υ).
