Development and use of GIS database for tasks of normative monetary evaluation of land of settlements

The paper presents the results of research on the development of a GIS database for the tasks of normative monetary valuation of lands of settlements and highlights the applied aspects of its use on the example of Lychanka village, Dmytriv territorial community, Bucha district, Kyiv region. An algorithm for developing a GIS database for normative monetary valuation of settlement lands is presented. The presented estimation algorithm allows to carry out with high accuracy normative monetary estimation of settlements, to carry out its automated updating on a certain date, to receive necessary information on request, to carry out analytical operations and construction of specialized estimation maps. The development of the GIS database involved the implementation of two stages. At the first stage of formation of the initial land assessment base, the attribute table included data from the Public Cadastral Map of Ukraine on land plots within the settlement by the following items: cadastral number of land plot, area, form of ownership, purpose and functional use of land plot , the number of the cadastral zone in which each land is located, the number of the land assessment area of the settlement, the value of the base value of land, the value of the zonal coefficient (Km2), the coefficient characterizing the functional purpose of the land (Kf), information on the location (street name). The second stage involved the calculation of the value of the normative monetary valuation of each of the 1279 land plots and was performed using the built-in Arc Map function "Calculation of numerical values". After the development of the GIS database, the testing stage of the developed land assessment database was performed, which involved the use of various query execution, geospatial analysis, the use of buffering functions, topological overlay (intersection). As a result of the analysis, the following maps were constructed: "Influence of local factors on the distance of land from the center of the settlement", "Influence of local factors on the distance of land from highways", "Influence of local factors on the environmental situation", "Influence of local factors on security electricity", "Influence of local factors on the distance from paved roads", "Influence of local factors on the provision  of centralized water supply", "Influence of local factors on the provision of centralized sewerage", "Influence of local factors on the provision of centralized gas supply", "Map plots according to the results of normative monetary assessment" , "Map of the establishment of buffer zones by the value of local coefficients" , "Map of coastal protection strips around water bodies with the allocation of zones of their intersection with land". Due to the application of special functions of geospatial analysis available in the GIS environment, examples of development of highly informative cartographic materials in the form of special pricing zoning of the territory of the settlement are shown. The expediency of the application of the GIS database for the tasks of monitoring the quality of land, compliance with their legal regime and the possibility of monitoring the implementation of fiscal obligations by landowners and users. Key words: normative monetary valuation, GIS database, geospatial analysis, buffering, land valuation zoning, maps

Foreign trade and regional inequality: The case of the Russian federation

An impact of foreign trade on national inequality levels is one of the most discussed topics both by public, politicians and academics. This paper contributes to this discussion by focusing on the role of foreign trade in the Russian Federation during its rapid economic transformation in 1990-2010. During this period, the trade-led growth model has helped to raise country-average levels of income. But simultaneously, it seemingly triggered greater inequality in income appropriation between different social groups. Looking into causality between foreign trade and this observed income disparity from the regional perspective will help us to understand the poverty problem associated with income inequality better and enhance the effectiveness of policies of the Russian government targeting income re-distribution. In particular, this research aims to answer a question whether during 1990's-2000's increasing openness to foreign trade was pro-poor on the regional level or not. Another point of interest is whether the distributional impact of growing foreign trade on incomes in Russian regions had been positive or negative. Several hypotheses for the Russian Federation are tested in the paper. First, higher openness to foreign trade improved income distribution in the Russian regions. Second, globalization of regions as a result of a more active foreign trade benefited individuals in the middle-income decile. This follows an idea that trade liberalization cuts living costs and raises living standards. Third, regions with larger rural population will tend to have more uneven income distribution. This follows from the neo-classical assumption that in rural areas a poverty burden tends to be larger. Active involvement in the trade of agricultural products might improve income distribution in such regions. Additionally, the share of dependent population among households must affect poverty headcount or the depth of poverty as previous studies on poverty determinants naturally suggested. © 2018 Economy of Region.

Lipofilling. The review of the technique. Modern opportunities and prospects for dermal scar correction

Since of the invention lipofilling, there was a significant change in ideas of the role used autologous fat tissue (Auto Fat) from natural filler of defects to the product for stimulating regeneration. There was a considerable evolution in technology of liposuction and Auto Fat processing, material and methodical providing of the procedure was improved. Opening and studying role of the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) of the adipose tissue, in particular mesenchymal stem cells of the adipose tissue (MSC FT), promoted considerable extension of indications while using this method in aesthetic medicine. During experience accumulation of lipofilling application new concepts of application of Auto Fat in combination with MSC FT, platelet-enriched plasma (PRP) and growth factors were developed for scar correction. Understanding of a key role recipient area in succesful engrafting Auto Fat on scars resulted in development of transcutaneous aponeurotomy in a combination with a lipofilling (riggotomy). The procedure of a nanolipofilling which can be considered an attempt of the isolated use of lipofilling for regeneration stimulation and remodeling of cicatricial tissue was developed. However, despite the achieved success, carrying out further researches which would allow to confirm this method efficacy from the point of view evidence-based medicine and develop clear clinical guidelines about its application for treatment of dermal scars would be necessary

tPCS as a method for correcting cardiac arrhythmias after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stenting in patients with myocardial infarction

Objective: To study the effect of transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS) therapy on cardiac arrhythmias developed after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with stenting in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).Material and methods: Characteristics of patient groups: the comparison group (n = 17) – with myocardial infarction, after PTCA with stenting, standard treatment; the main group (n = 21) – the same and tPCS therapy. Control points of the study: 1st day – Electrocardiography (ECG), Echocardiography (ECHO), Creatine phosphokinase (CPK), Creatine phosphokinase-MB (CPK-MB), Troponin-I, potassium, β-endorphin; 5th day – the same without ECHO; 10th day – the same and ECG with the determination of harmony and quantum of the electromagnetic flux of the cardiac cycle. PTCA was performed using drug-eluting stents. tPCS therapy was performed in pulsed bipolar mode, current strength 2 mA, current frequency 77.5 Hz, session duration 45 min.Results: In patients of the main group (against the background of tPCS therapy), the studied parameters of the cardiac cycle approached the optimal values. It was shown that intergroup differences in harmony (p = 0.002) and the size of the electromagnetic flux quantum of the cardiac cycle (p = 0.001) are statistically significant. Also, against the background of the tPCS therapy, the concentration of highly sensitive troponin-I is statistically significantly (p = 0.0042) lower by 109%. On the 5th and 10th days of the study, the serum concentration of β-endorphin in the main group was higher by 38.3 and 35.0% than in the comparison group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The results of the study clearly demonstrate the cardioprotective and antiarrhythmic potential of tPCS therapy in patients with myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmias after PTCA with stenting

ОЦЕНКА ОБЩЕСТВЕННОЙ (ЭКОЛОГО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ) ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ ТРАНСПОРТНЫХ ПРОЕКТОВ В РОССИИ

The article reviews the history of Cost - Benefit Analysis for investment projects in road infrastructure.The topicality of the subject is due to the fact that in Russia there is a vacuum existing today in respect of methods for social and environmental evaluation of projects with public funding. In global practice, the analysis of “costs and benefits” is widely applied to justification of public financing for transport infrastructure projects. Use of this method in Russia will allow to refocus infrastructure projects on a sustainable development and increase their financial stability, will also create a mechanism for justifying state investments channeling into transport infrastructure and will offer quantitative criteria for selection of projects. A particular feature of this method is the inclusion in project analysis of nonmarket impacts generated by the project - social, economic benefits and losses to society. The article considers the main categories of gains and losses to society in creating the transport infrastructure; defines the problem of their evaluation, and suggests approaches to accounting for these effects during the social assessment phase. The application of the considered method is also illustrated in the article through an analysis of a project to deploy a network of high-speed highways in Russia expected to be made operational by the year 2030. Prospects for development of this kind of analysis in Russia relate to further elaboration of the methodological basis for evaluation of ecological damages and social effects relying on non-market techniques and sustaining further research in these issues.Статья посвящена методам оценки общественной (эколого-экономической) эффективности транспортных проектов. Актуальность темы объясняется тем, что сейчас в России наблюдается методический вакуум в вопросах стоимостной оценки социальной значимости проектов с государственным финансированием. В мировой практике широко применяется анализ «затраты-выгоды» для обоснования выделения государственных средств на инфраструктурные транспортные проекты. Использование данного метода в отечественной практике обоснования инвестиций позволит ориентировать инфраструктурные проекты на достижение целей устойчивого развития и тем самым повысить их финансовую устойчивость, создаст механизм обоснования государственных инвестиций в транспортную инфраструктуру и даст количественные критерии по отбору проектов и сценариев их реализации для лиц, принимающих решения. Особенностью рассматриваемого метода является включение в проектный анализ нерыночных эффектов, генерируемых проектом, - социальных и экономических выгод и потерь общества. Составной частью данного анализа является оценка экологического ущерба. В статье рассматриваются основные типы выгод и потерь общества при создании транспортной инфраструктуры; определяются проблемы их стоимостной оценки и предлагаются подходы к учету данных эффектов при проведении социальной оценки. В статье также приводятся результаты применения рассматриваемого метода к анализу проектов по созданию сети автодорог в России до 2030 г. Перспективами развития данного анализа в России служат развитие методической базы оценки экологических ущербов и социальных эффектов на основе методов нерыночной оценки и более широкое проведение исследований по данной проблеме

Хронические фиброзирующие интерстициальные заболевания легких с прогрессирующим фиброзным фенотипом: резолюция Междисциплинарного Совета экспертов

Introduction. The natural course of some interstitial lung diseases (ILD) is characterized by progressive fibrosing phenotype resembling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Until recently, the antifibrotic drug nintedanib was approved for treatment of the only fibrosing ILD which was IPF. A new indication for this drug which has been registered in Russian Federation in 2021 includes other fibrosing ILDs with progressive phenotype (PF-ILDs) and ILD associated with systemic scleroderma (SS-ILD).The aim of this publication is to describe general considerations of the decision of Multidisciplinary Expert Board on diagnosis and treatment of PF-ILDs including SS-ILD.Results. According to the extension in nintedanib use mentioned above, the Expert Board created an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of patients with PF-ILDs and criteria for nuntedanib administration in PF-ILDs.Conclusion. Antifibrotic therapy is needed for patients with PF-ILDs with the failure of the stanrard therapy. In those patients antifibrotic treatment should be initiated as early as possible to better preserve the lung function.При формировании фибротических изменений в легких многие интерстициальные заболевания легких (ИЗЛ) могут приобретать прогрессирующее течение. По прогнозу выживаемости, риску летальности и обострений такой фенотип ИЗЛ при отсутствии антифибротической терапии очень близок к идиопатическому легочному фиброзу. В 2020 г. в Российской Федерации разрешено использование антифибротического препарата нинтеданиб при фиброзирующих ИЗЛ с прогрессирующим фиброзным фенотипом (ПФФ) и при ИЗЛ, связанных с системной склеродермией.Целью работы Междисциплинарного Совета экспертов явилось ознакомление с основными положениями резолюции Междисциплинарного Совета экспертов о диагностике и лечении ИЗЛ ПФФ.Результаты. В декабре 2020 г. состоялся Междисциплинарный Совет экспертов, по результатам работы которого разработаны алгоритм диагностики и ведения пациентов с ИЗЛ ПФФ и критерии отбора больных для назначения антифибротической терапии.Заключение. Установлено, что в случае, когда при стандартной терапии ИЗЛ ПФФ клиническое состояние пациента и легочная функция и / или фибротические изменения в легких по данным компьютерной томографии высокого разрешения не стабилизируются, показана антифибротическая терапия нинтеданибом. Начиная антифибротическую терапию в возможно более ранние сроки заболевания, можно замедлить прогрессирующее снижение легочной функции при более сохранных исходных показателях
