The impact of innovation development index on the state of economic development and business environment of Ukraine

У статті розглянуто проблеми інноваційного розвитку як різновиду економічного розвитку, а також особливості бізнес-середовища країни через призму конкурентоспроможності, що охопило всі сторони вивчення основних шляхів вирішення проблем розвитку України. Задля аналізу інноваційного розвитку України використано аналітичні данні Global Innovation Index, Bloomberg Innovation Index, Global Competitiveness Index, Global Talent Competitiveness Index. Показано механізм створення індексу інновацій, його трансформацію, сучасний стан і проблеми, що постають перед ним. Продемонстровано, що поряд з розвитком інновацій відбувається розвиток інтелектуальної власності через розширення можливостей процесів патентування винаходів та промислових зразків. Особливу увагу приділено питанням як вже вирішених проблем економічного розвитку, так і новим, а також способам їх реалізації. Відзначено, що інноваційний розвиток держави зберігає кращі напрацювання від ідей В. Гейця, В. Семиноженка, Б. Кваснюка, О. Амоші. Наочно продемонстровано динамічне зростання в державі інноваційного сектору економіки, що за останні два десятиліття поставило Україну на одну сходинку з провідними країнами Європейського Союзу. Відзначено, що Україна посідає лідируючі позиції у світі з виробництва багатьох видів важкої промисловості та сільськогосподарської продукції, та, водночас, поки що зосереджена на необхідності збільшення інноваційного продукту, щоб зробити економіку менш залежною від експорту в майбутньому. Обґрунтовано ідею стосовно того, що сучасний розвиток інноваційного сектору економіки все більше вимагає пошуку нових шляхів підйому сфери інтелектуальної власності, яка повинна вмонтуватися у нові процеси діджиталізації та стратегію розвитку країни.The article considers the problems of innovative development as a kind of economic development, as well as the peculiarities of the country’s business environment through the prism of competitiveness, which covered all aspects of studying the main ways of solving problems of the Ukraine’s development. Analytical data of the Global Innovation Index, Bloomberg Innovation Index, Global Competitiveness Index, and Global Talent Competitiveness Index are used to analyze the innovative development of Ukraine. The mechanism of innovation index creation, its transformation, current state and problems facing it are shown. It is demonstrated that along with the development of innovations, intellectual property is being developed through the expansion of the possibilities of patenting inventions and industrial designs. Particular attention is paid to the issues of both the already solved problems of economic development and new, as well as the ways of their implementation. It is noted that the state innovative development preserves the best practices from ideas of V. Geitz, V. Seminozhenko, B. Kvasnyuk, O. Amosha. The dynamic growth of the country’s innovative sector of the economy has been clearly demonstrated, which over the past two decades has put Ukraine on a par with the leading countries of the European Union. It is noted that Ukraine is a world leader in many types of heavy industry and agricultural products, but at the same time focused on the need to increase the innovative products in order to make the economy less dependent on exports in the future. The idea is justified that the modern development of the economy’s innovative sector increasingly requires finding for new ways to raise the sphere of intellectual property, which should be integrated into new processes of digitalization and the country’s development strategy

Dynamics of erosion-accumulation processes along the stream bed of Turiya river (Kovel hydropost)

The article reflects the results of the study of deformations of the stream bed of the Turiya River (Kovel Hydropost, hydro range No. 5) during 1983–2018. For this purpose, multiple cross-sections of the channel and various combined flow curves were constructed and analyzed, the levels of water in the river, the relationships between the course of erosion-accumulation processes along the course and the dynamics of natural and anthropogenic factors are revealed. The information base of the study was the theoretical basis of the doctrine of channel processes, which are substantiated in the works of foreign and Ukrainian scientists, the materials of our own observations, data from the Volyn Center for Hydrology and Meteorology (hereinafter VCGM). In the process of solving the tasks, the methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, graphic, mathematical and statistical methods were applied; the system approach was applied. During the study it was established that during the specified time interval in the stream bed there was an alternation of erosion and accumulation processes, which was expressed by the alternation of periods of some erosion of the stream bed and its siltation. The transverse profiles of the Turiya stream bed indicate that during the period 1983–1988, mainly accumulative processes prevailed in the channel, and in the following period (1988–2008) they changed to erosion ones. In recent years, rechargeable processes have become dominant and the profile of the stream bed in 2018 has come closer to its stream bed in 1988. The flow and water level curves of Turiya confirm our conclusions about trends in erosion-accumulation processes along the stream bed. During the periods 1983–1988 and 1996–2000, the accumulation processes dominated, and at the interval of time from 1988 to 1996 and in 2000–2008 erosion processes dominated. The 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017 curves are in almost one field, which attests to the stability of the Turiya River over the last decade. The development of channel deformations depends, mainly, on the hydrological regime of the river. The dynamics of erosion-accumulation processes along the river Turiya is consistent with the long-term regime of its maximum runoff: in the 80-ies of the last century a significant fall in the values of maximum discharge (some decrease in annual precipitation, the influence of the Kovel reservoir) was observed, which led to their erosion. Compared to this time period, around the 1990s and during the 2000s, the values of maximum discharge increased slightly. As a consequence, the eroding ability of the watercourse during floods and freshets increased, which slightly increased the cross-sectional area of the channel. In the last four years, the values of maximum discharge have been significantly lower than normal, and as a result erosion processes have weakened. Reduction of the maximum discharge of the Turiya River, absence of runoff during the 2015–2018 boundary, dominance of accumulative processes in the channel leads to eutrophication of the watercourse, which, in turn, reduces its transport capacity and contributes to the further accumulation of solids. If this trend continues in the future, then the risks of flooding the Turiya floodplains in the event of heavy floods or freshets will increase

ANALYSIS AND CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE LAND FUND IN HOROKHIV DISTRICT OF VOLYN REGION

The article deals with the results of the investigation of the land fund structure and features of land use in the Horokhiv district of the Volyn region in the conext of its administrative units. For this purpose, the level of agricultural development, the ratio of ploughed land, agricultural ploughed land, the share of forest cover areas, the ratio of natural and economic lands, and the mapping of the land resources of the study area have been made. Such research methods as comparative-geographical, mathematical-statistical, geoinformation modeling (using MapInfo Professional 8.0 SCP) are used. In the process of research we established that in the structure of the land fund of Horokhiv district on 2016.01.01. agricultural land predominates, the share is 79%. The highest share of agricultural land is typical to the Berezhanka (95%), Zhabche, Pustomyty (94%), Myrne (93%), Vatyn, Myrkiv, Mychlyn (91%), Gubyn the First and Skirche village councils (90%), since in these territories, in comparison with other administrative formations of the district, morphological and morphometric parameters of the relief are more suitable for agricultural cultivation, smaller areas occupy forest, flood landscapes, surface waters. The smallest share of agricultural land can be traced back to the land fund of Horokhiv (20%) and urban-type settlement of Marianivka (31%), since the large areas are occupied by built-up lands. Forests and other forested areas cover 10,5% of the territory. The woodiness of the most administrative units of Horokhiv district are only a few percent. It is the largest index in the southern part of the district, reaching the maximum values in the Pisky village council - 41%. The third position in the land use structure of Horokhiv district is open wetlands (4,3% of its area). The largest areas of marsh in Brany, Buzhany, Zhuravnyky, Merva, Peremyl, and Tsegiv village councils. There are no swamps in the Zhabche village council, urban-type settlement of Senkevychivka and town of Berestechko. Built-up lands occupy 4,0% of the territory of Horokhiv district. The highest rate of built-up land is typical to Buzhany and Tsegiv village councils and the town of Horokhiv. The smallest areas of built-up land are in the Berezhany, Myrkiv and Mykhlyn village councils. Land under the surface water occupies 1,8% of the territory of the researched area. The largest area of the water mirror is in the Peremyl and Kholoniv village councils, and in the Pustomyty rural council, the urban-type settlement of Senkevichivka and the town of Horokhiv surface water is absent. The smallest share (0,3%) in the structure of the land fund of the researched territory is open land without plant cover or with insignificant plant cover. The largest areas of this category of land are in Braniv and Tsegiv village councils, since the large areas are occupied by the outcrop of brick-tiled raw materials; such land is absent in the town of Berestechko, Skirche, Pirwenche, Mykhlyn, Lemeshiv, Galichanske and Berezhany. According to the structure analysis of the land fund of Horokhiv district, the natural mosaic of its landscapes is the most disturbed by agricultural land use. The share of agricultural land in the structure of the land fund of the investigated area is 77%. This indicator is highest in rural councils of the northern part of the district. Horokhiv district is characterized by extremely unfavorable structure of the land, as evidenced by a small share of natural and semi-natural territories (24%, and in many administrative districts not more than 10%), high coefficient of plowing of the territory (67,11% as a whole for the district, and in eight village councils is more than 80%) and agricultural land cultivation (87% for the district, and for more than half of district administrative units is over 90%). The reason for this is the presence of fertile soils, a large population density and a long period of agricultural impact on the land. For a more detailed ecological diagnostics of the territory of Horokhiv district it is necessary to assess the ecological ratio of the equilibrium of its territorial structure with the use of remote sensing data and laboratory research. However, the obtained information may also be useful for developing measures to optimize the landscape-ecological structure of the united territorial communities, which are created according to a new territorial-administrative system, as well as for preservation of land potential and reproduction of soil fertility in the region

Assessment of Colobanthus quitensis genetic polymorphism from the Argentine Islands region (maritime Antarctic) by actin, α- and γ-tubulin gene intron analysis

Colobanthus quitensis is one of the two angiosperm plant species commonly spread in the Antarctic. The species has been extensively analyzed at morphological, anatomical and physiological levels, but information regarding its genetic vari-ability remains limited. The aim of the study was to identify molecular genetic differences between C. quitensis populations in one of the Antarctic localities, the Argentine Islands region by estimating the intron length polymorphism of actin, α- and γ-tubulin genes. Samples of C. quitensis from different Antarctic natural populations were collected during the season of the 24th and previous Ukrainian Antarctic expeditions. Total DNA was isolated using the QIAGEN DNeasy Plant Mini Kit. The polymerase chain reaction was carried out with our own degenerate primers. The resulting amplicons were separated and visualized using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by silver nitrate staining. Molecular genetic analysis of natural populations of C. quitensis was performed using three DNA-marker systems based on the detection of intron length polymor-phism of actin, α- and γ-tubulin genes. A low level of genetic polymorphism of C. quitensis in the studied region by these types of markers was established. By assessing the intron length polymorphism of actin genes of the studied C. quitensis populations it was possible to establish that the populations of Skua Island had unique amplicons characteristic only for this location. This indicates the possibility of further use of the analysis of intron length polymorphism of actin genes for the study of the molecu-lar genetic diversity of the Antarctic pearlwort. At the same time, the results of analysis of the intron length polymorphism of α- and γ-tubulin genes induce selection of more specific primers, taking into account the structure of the C. quitensis genome. C. quitensis in the study region has a low level of genetic variability in intron length polymorphism of actin, α- and γ-tubulin genes. Overall, the results indicate that DNA markers based on gene structure analysis of highly conserved cytoskeletal pro-teins, namely, actin, α- and γ-tubulin, as additional sources of information, can be used for molecular genetic analysis of C. quitensis populations in the Antarctic
