Abstract Annotation. The results of a study on the water quality, bottom sediments and coastal soil based on the level of anthropogenic pollution by heavy metal compounds and organic polutants are presented. The most commonly used integral and complex indicators used to assess the environmental safety of territories have been calculated. A comparative analysis, using the Shannon Biodiversity Index, highlighted the total pollution index (Zc) as the most informative, among those analysed, in terms of the impact of anthropogenic pollution on biota. The results established a methodology for assessing the environmental safety of territories that needs to be improved. By using the Maximum Permissible Exceedance (MPE) indicator, objective data will be available when determining the negative impact of pollution of natural environments on the state of ecosystems.

Current situation in the environmental sector for the EAEU countries it is one of the most burning topics. One of the priority areas of the country’s sustainable development policy The Eurasian economic Union recognizes ensuring the welfare of the population living in the Eurasian space and introducing environmental technologies, creating environmentally friendly industries, and much more. Important changes have taken place in the environmental safety sector, and positive dynamics are beginning to be determined not only by intentions, but also by real actions aimed at improving the quality of the environment and health. In the context of globalization, the nature of the market–plan relationship in environmental management is changing dramatically. On the one hand, the influence of market forces and competition that stimulate the development and implementation of environmental policies by each individual state is increasing. On the other hand, the impact of international economic institutions on national relations is increasing, resulting in the creation of a system of supranational environmental management. Joint solution of issues related to prevention of negative impact on the environment is possible only through: contractual actions, investment policies, and planned activities aimed at maintaining environmental balance. Kazakhstan, being a full member of the EAEU actively participates in the formation of a regulatory framework aimed at reducing industrial risks, identifying the scale of anthropogenic pollution and implementing environmental monitoring.

The Impact

Advancements in synthetic biology have led to the use of genetically modified organisms in research and industrial fields. Bacteria were one of the first organisms to be genetically engineered due to their fast growth and simple genetics, and have emerged as a major scientific and commercial interest. For instance, modified commensal bacteria can be used as an oral delivery vector of therapeutics, or as probiotics to target specific pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract. The impact of the release of pathogens used in research or vaccine development could be catastrophic to the environment and public health. In addition, there is growing concern about using genetically modified organisms in open systems, as there is a possibility for unintentional proliferation into natural environments. Therefore, is imperative that the environmental safety of genetically modified organisms are addressed, and that adequate biocontainment mechanisms are developed.

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the drivers of secondary bond market and stock market liquidity for investment analysis after global financial crisis in Turkey. The literature in Turkey mainly focuses only on the volatility of return for driving liquidity in both bond and stock markets. However, it is argued that other types of volatilities including domestic and international volatilities have also a deteriorating impact on secondary market liquidity in Turkey. In this context, it is empirically tested whether the volatility and/or uncertainty that stem from the FED and ECB policies within the last 10 years had a negative impact on liquidity both in government bond and stock markets. Moreover, the impact of non-residents in bond and stock markets on secondary market liquidity is examined by including their holdings in stock and bond market.

Abstract The problem of recycling plastic waste is quite acute both in Ukraine and for most countries of the world. The use of plastic processing products can be considered an urgent problem of society from the point of view of environmental protection and environmental safety. Today, developments are underway in the field of using polymers in one of the largest sectors of production – the construction industry. In recent years, the scientific community has been actively studying the issue of using plastic waste in the manufacture of reinforced concrete structures, that is, partial replacement of the filler with plastic particles. At the same time, in the short term, sufficient resources of plastic waste will be provided, which will come in value for collection and recycling. The use of plastic in concrete production technology will not only reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, but also develop concrete of more sustainable quality and lower cost. The aim of the study is determining the amount of plastic waste that can be utilized through introducing it into concrete mix without reducing the strength of the concrete. Here we have considered the issue of the impact of the degree of plastic grinding on concrete strength. The research findings show that the introduction of plastic in an amount up to 3.5% of the volume of concrete as a substitute for the aggregate does not reduce its compressive or flexural strength.

Abstract. Problem. The issue of the impact of construction projects on the environment is extremely relevant and complex. Analysis of publications. The study of the negative impact of rolling stock, dust, noise, vibration, emissions during the operation of engines, as well as the impact of construction processes on the environment were engaged in such scientists as I.Ye. Evgeniev, RA Kizima, D.W. Зерка-лов, М.В. Немчинов, О.Л. Boychenko and others [1, 3, 4, 8, 9]. The aim is to assess the degree of impact of the road and transport on the environment. Presenting main material. Consumer properties of roads are a set of indicators that directly meet the needs of road users: safety, speed, continuity, comfort of traffic; road capacity, in particular the ability to pass cars and road trains with permitted axle loads, total weight and dimensions; ecological and aesthetic condition of the road; level of service and information support [2]. Ecological safety of the highway depends on the technical level, operational condition of the road and road structures, intensity and composition of traffic and characterizes the impact of the road on the environment within the limits of environmental standards, including harmful vehicle emissions, noise pollution, migration of animals, reptiles etc. [6]. Cars with gasoline engines are especially harmful in this regard. Diesel engines have a much lower level of toxicity and contain much less harmful substances. On the entire area of land occupied by the road and the construction of the road complex, on temporarily allotted land for reserves, quarries and other developments should be removed fertile layer of soil with bulldozers that cut and move the soil some distance. In the course of performance of this work the soil is exposed to mechanical disturbance. The construction area becomes a category of disturbed lands, which include lands with a removed or covered humus layer, not suitable for agricultural and forestry use without prior restoration of fertility [3, 7, 10, 11]. Conclusions. In order to protect the environment, many countries around the world are introducing laws designed to limit the negative impact of vehicles on the state of the biosphere, which requires the creation of modern environmental legislation and regulatory framework for environmental safety.

The Impact

The paper proposes a new approach to environmental and economic assessments based on the author’s economic and mathematical model that takes into account the accumulation of hazardous pollutants in natural environments. It also presents the results of calculations showing the dynamics of the increase in the negative impact depending on the natural assimilation of pollutants. This data can be considered as a quantitative assessment of the “environmental cost” that society pays by consuming goods the production of which is accompanied by the accumulation of long-lived pollutants. It is shown that this “price” can very significantly exceed the eco-intensity calculated without taking into account the accumulation of pollutants. Thus, the accumulation of pollutants as a result of economic activity is an important factor in the context of the impact on the ecological and economic balance. The implementation of the results obtained in the adjustment of the calculations of payments for negative environmental impact is proposed: to set payments per unit of production which are not proportional to emissions, but proportional to the eco-intensity calculated according to the proposed methodology. In this case, the accumulation of harmful substances in natural environments, the added value of production and the timing of project implementation will be taken into account. This corresponds to the concept of “green” economy, which provides the growth of well-being and quality of life with the maximum possible reduction of the negative anthropogenic pressure and improvement of the quality of the environment.

Host Parasite

The traditional assessment of parasites by veterinarians and medical professionals is une-quivocally negative. In this minireview, we focus on the positive aspects of the presence of parasites in the environment. Most notably, the host-parasite system is a long-term interac-tion because parasites, despite their negative impact on the host, rarely lead to its death. We analysed three important aspects of the presence of parasites in the environment: (i) participation in the regulation community balance leading to changes in the dominance structure, the formation of trophic chains as well as the inclusion of new energy sources into the ecosystem, (ii) control of invasions of alien species to new areas through the im-pact on the adaptive abilities of invaders and (iii) efficient accumulation of heavy metals resulting from the physiological properties of parasite tissues, and thus providing the ad-ditional environmental pollution index. The presented examples show that parasites play an important role as ecosystem engineers, affecting the dynamic balance of ecosystems. The present review aims to challenge the stereotype of parasitism as an unambiguously negative interaction and show evidence of the significant impact of parasites on healthy functioning communities and environmental safety.

The ever-changing economic environment changes the business conditions and performance and requires to reflect the changes on accounting information of legal entities. The development of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a dynamic and complex process, which helps to provide fair and true information on legal entities. Although, it’s important to evaluate the changes of accounting standards by preparers of financial statements and the users of the information. The purpose of the research is to determine the impact of significant changes of international financial reporting standards on the financial indicators of the companies during 2017-2020 period. Research methods of comparative analysis of scientific literature and legal acts, content analysis, case analysis, grouping of information, systematization, comparative analysis and generalization were used. Main research results state that in 2017-2020 the key changes were related to three standards: IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 16 - Leases. The study of the impact of the application of the new standards on the financial indicators of 24 Lithuanian listed companies revealed that the new IFRS 16 had the greatest impact on the financial indicators of the companies. The first time, the application of IFRS 16 had a significant impact on 6 of the 24 companies analysed. There was a negative impact on liquidity and solvency ratios, working capital, return on assets and the turnover of assets.

One of the requirements for the process of conducting education can take place effectively, namely the enforcement of student discipline both in attendance and participation in the education process, namely the application of punishment. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of punishment on students, the method is descriptive method, because the descriptive method intends to solve the problem of describing something state / subject based objects on what it is. The form of research is an interrelationship study, namely by conducting data collection. The result of this study is percentage that has a comparative analysis of mild and severe penalties in the form of a ratio. Respondents clearly stated that physical punishment had an effect on students' academic / career achievements (65%) while mild physical punishment had an adverse negative impact (35%). Looking further at the effects of physical punishment, it was observed that severe and severe penalties prevented class participation, reduced attendance and increased the dropout rate shown by respondents as wise. According to the explanation above, it can be concluded that the application of penalties, especially physical punishment to students will make students feel depressed and afraid that will have an impact on student psychology.
