Since the Republic of Croatia is one of the most popular European and world tourist destinations, the aim of this paper is, from the user’s (n = 596) point of view, to research the importance of stationary traffic in tourist destinations. The purpose of this paper is to point out the possibilities of improving the tourist destination quality and sustainability through an adequate parking service. In order to corroborate constructed scientific hypotheses, a larger number of scientific methods were used from which a polling method, analysis and synthesis method, descriptive statistics method, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) should be singled out. The major finding of this paper indicates a relatively big importance of stationary traffic (M = 6.51; SD = 2.21) as an element of tourist destination quality. Moreover, regarding the quality of tourist destination, the results of this paper suggest that the parking space availability is more important than the way parking or parking payment are organized. Between the experienced parking problem in a tourist destination and age on one side and evaluation of the importance of stationary traffic as an element of tourist destination quality on the other side, a statistically important connection was established. Gained knowledge can be particularly helpful to hotel industry managers but also to traffic managers whose duty is to provide an adequate number of parking spaces in tourist destinations.

Johan Liljencrants was a KTH oldtimer. His interests focused early on speech analysis and synthesis where in the 1960s he took a leading part in the development of analysis hardware, the OVE III speech synthesizer, and the introduction of computers in the Speech Transmission Laboratory. Later work shifted toward general speech signal processing, for instance in his thesis on the use of a reflection line synthesizer. His interests expanded to modelling the glottal system, parametrically as in the Liljencrants–Fant (LF) model of glottal waveshapes, as well as physically including glottal aerodynamics and mechanics.

Subject of research is the sources of funding for the social development of united territorial communities (UTC). The purpose of the article is to determine the prospects and measures to attract financial resources for the development of local communities in a decentralized environment. Methods which were used in course of research: method of system-structural analysis and synthesis, method of comparative analysis, generalization, statistical, general scientific, special methods of scientific knowledge and other research methods. Study results.The article identifies the main obstacles to effective financial support for the development of territorial communities, considers some experience in finding and raising funds for the development of territories, describes the sources of such funds. Measures that will contribute to the investment attractiveness of the territory are analyzed and substantiated. Application of results. The results of the study can be used by the united territorial communities for the formation of financial resources, as well as in higher education institutions in the teaching of economic disciplines. Conclusions. After conducting the research, it should be noted that the process of uniting territorial communities in Ukraine and, consequently, attracting financial resources to their budgets is a rather complex process and therefore requires consolidation of efforts at all levels of government and support from European partners.  Due to the reform of decentralization of management in Ukraine, capable territorial communities should be created that are able to ensure the development of the territory, quality provision of social services and promote the well-being of their residents and Ukraine in general.  It is determined that the main sources of funds for socio-economic development of UTC are: international technical assistance, additional subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the formation of community infrastructure, local taxes from businesses.

The purpose of the article is to examine the civil law nature of electronic money. The subject of the research is the features of the civil law nature of electronic money. Methodology. Research methods are chosen based on the object, subject and purpose of the study. The study used general scientific and special methods of legal science. Thus, the analysis and synthesis method as well as the logical method were used to formulate a holistic view on electronic money, their features and legal nature. The logical-semantic method was used to establish the meaning of the concepts “electronic money”, “non-cash money”, “payment instrument”, “electronic payment instrument”. The comparative method was used when analyzing scientific categories, definitions and approaches. The legal modeling method was applied to formulate the author’s definition of the term “electronic money”. Results. The article generalizes scientific views on the civil law nature of electronic money. A distinction has been made between electronic money and currency unit, non-cash money and the right to claim. As the result it has been established that electronic money is the monetary obligation. Practical implication. The study should assist in developing the unified approach to the issue of the civil law nature of electronic money. Value/originality. As the result of the study the author’s definition of the concept “electronic money” with regard to its civil law nature has been proposed.

Abstract Tolerancing is a crucial problem for mechanical designers, as it has quality and cost implications on product design. Research in tolerancing has addressed specific areas of the problem. Building upon previous research, a unified approach for geometric tolerancing with fractal-based parameters has been recently proposed. This paper explores an alternative error profile analysis and synthesis method, based on wavelets, that maintains and extends the use of fractals for surface error abstraction. An overview of the theory of wavelets is provided, and the link between fractals and wavelets is established. Experimental data are used to illustrate the application of wavelet theory to surface profile reconstruction and synthesis. The synthesis methods are then implemented in the design of ball-bearing elements, demonstrating the utility of fractal-based tolerancing. Plans for further study and implementation conclude the paper.
