AbstractSeven foraminiferal zones [Parathurammina dagmarae–Saltovskajina scitula–Neoarchaesphaera, Septaglomospiranella primaeva, Quasiendothyra (Eoquasiendothyra) bella, Q. (Eoendothyra) communis, Q. (E.) regularis, Q. (Q.) kobeitusana–Endoglomospiranella imminuta, and Q. (Q.) konensis–End. Nigra] have been identified from Famennian Stage carbonate sections in Tajikistan and compared to foraminiferal sequences from the Franco-Belgian Basin, the Russian part of the Eastern European Platform, the Ural Mountains (Russia), and Kyrgyzstan. The lower Famennian boundary is marked by the rapid extinction of all Frasnian Stage multicameral forms, which are replaced by a complex of single-chambered foraminifers of the P. dagmarae–S. scitula–Neoarchaesphaera Zone. This boundary practically coincides with the base of the middle Palmatolepis triangularis conodont zone. The upper Famennian boundary is recognized by the sharp change from endothyroid foraminifers of the Quasiendothyra konensis–Endoglomospiranella nigra Zone to a complex of simple mono- and bilocular forms of the Carboniferous Bisphaera malevkensis–Earlandia minima Zone. This boundary in the most intensely studied section at Shishkat is located 16 cm below the boundary of the Siphonodella praesulcata and S. sulcata conodont zones.

The article is devoted to the consideration of such an object of interdisciplinary research as the elite, namely, the latest trends in its study. It is shown that the consideration of this phenomenon has been going on for a long time, but now there is a sharp change in the focus of research – a new methodology is being developed. This is due to the fact that the axiom taken is the provision of a significant influence of the elite not only on the distribution of resources (economic, political, administrative) but also on the development (or recession) of the nation as a whole. The article presents a detailed analysis of the methodology for measuring the elite quality index which formed the basis for an international study conducted in 2020.

The approaches of scientists to the definition of categories “liquidity of banks” and “regulation of the banking system’ liquidity” are investigated. A retrospective analysis of the NBU’s approaches to regulating the liquidity of the banking system was carried out and the use of two main methods used by the NBU to calculate the liquidity level of the Ukrainian banking system during the independence period was identified. Dynamic ranks of liquidity of the Ukrainian banking system and instruments of its change in 2012–2020 were constructed, stable dynamic tendencies and the main factors causing such dynamics were identified. The changes in the liquidity of the Ukrainian banking system in the periods of the financial crisis 2014–2015 are analyzed in detail, the main factors of the change in the liquidity of the Ukrainian banking system during such period are identified. It was proved that the change in approaches to the calculation of the liquidity level of the Ukrainian banking system was accompanied by the implementation of a completely new refinancing tool for banks – NBU deposit certificates. It was also proven that changing the approach to calculating the liquidity level of the Ukrainian banking system and the use of a new refinancing tool resulted in maximizing the NBU’s influence on regulating the liquidity of the Ukrainian banking system. The crisis of excess liquidity of the banking system of Ukraine was detected, its time periods were identified, the main factors of its emergence and their quantitative characteristics were presented. The unproductive use of highly liquid assets by banks has been proved, which is caused by the processes of regulating the liquidity level of the banking system and the use of NBU certificates of deposit. A sharp change in the structure and level of liquidity of the banking system in 2020 and disruption of the transformation function of the banking system were identified. In particular, banks with significant free resources (76.24 % of banks' liquidity, which is equivalent to practically 20 % of the loan portfolio), are not able (or willing) to direct these resources to finance the real economy. Thus, a violation of the NBU’s monetary policy has been identified, which puts considerable pressure on the monetary sphere, and in the event that the NBU loses control of this process, excess liquidity of banks will cause an inflation spike. Also, the liquidity surplus in the second half of 2019 – early 2020 and the imbalance of the resource base are threatening to reduce the efficiency of banks in 2020. The NBU’s methodology for regulating banking liquidity with the help of mandatory standards is investigated. The legislative regulation of bank liquidity is analyzed and changes in the methods of calculation of liquidity ratios are revealed. Based on the analysis of retrospective data, it has been shown that, despite changes in the mandatory liquidity standards, during 2014–2020 the liquidity indicators exceeded the regulatory values several times, but peak exceedances were detected in 2020, which confirms the emergence of the excess liquidity crisis in the banking system of Ukraine. Grouping of banks by liquidity level revealed that practically 50 % of banks are in the range of 150–300 % of the standard, and 23 % of banks are in the range of 300–500 % of the standard, while 24 % of banks are in the range of more than 500 % of the standard. Such a significant excess of the liquidity ratio indicates the ineffective financing of banks in the real sector of the economy and the lack of attractive directions for active operations, which threatens both economic growth and efficiency of the banking system in 2020. The research develops key recommendations for banks to prevent excessive liquidity risk.

The methodological issues of ensuring the economic sustainability of enterprises, as one of the key goals of modern industrial business, have long been the focus of attention of scientists and researchers, not only because of their importance, but also because of some internal inconsistency that does not allow them to be considered finally resolved. On the one hand, sustainability presupposes stability, some conservatism in the development of the enterprise and this aspect of it requires the application of measures that prevent a sharp change in economic conditions. Attract the attention of researchers and have not yet received their final scientific, methodological and practical solution. It should be believed that the solution of this task, which is important for each industrial enterprise in a market economy, can be found in the case of: (a) the correct definition of business development directions in terms of its diversification and expansion (external dimension); b) determination of such economic conditions that can ensure an equilibrium state of the enterprise’s economy, characterized by a certain set of parameters of the activity of its main subsystems (internal measurement) and c) implementation of the algorithm of periodic controlled withdrawal of the enterprise from the state of stability for transition to a new level of development and stabilization of its socio-economic parameters in the intervals between such fluctuations. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to attempt to resolve this contradiction in terms of developing a set of solutions to create conditions for the progressive dynamics of industrial enterprises that do not impede, but complement, the installation to maintain stability within acceptable limits. For this, the scientific and methodological apparatus of business modeling, modern concepts of organization and management is involved, as well as innovations in the best practice of sustainable development of industrial enterprises are used. The result of the study is a tree of goals for ensuring the economic sustainability of a modern industrial enterprise, revealing the internal dimension of the problem under study and practical recommendations.

The Upper Devonian (Frasnian) conodont fauna of the Lime Creek Formation of north-central Iowa is dominated by species of Polygnathus. Patterns of species composition and abundance are consistent with the Polygnathus biofacies described from the Frasnian of the Northwest Territories of western Canada. Consequently, the standard Frasnian conodont zones, defined on sequences developed in the Palmatolepis biofacies, are not applicable to the Lime Creek sequence. The Lime Creek conodont sequence correlates with Zones 4, 5 and Faunal Interval 7 of the Frasnian conodont sequence in the Alberta Rockies and with similar sequences in the southwestern United States. The Pb elements of Palmatolepis semichatovae Ovnatanova and Ancyrognathus? deformis (Anderson) are described and illustrated for the first time.In the Lime Creek Formation of north-central Iowa, brachiopods of the lowermost part of the Nervostrophia thomasi Zone of Day (1989a) occur in Zone 4, brachiopods of most of the N. thomasi, Douvillina arcuata, and Cyrtospirifer whitneyi Zones span conodont Zone 5, and the Elita inconsueta and Iowatrypa owenensis Zones occur in Faunal Interval 7. Species of the ammonoid Manticoceras and of the gastropods Floyda, Turbonopsis, and Westerna are restricted to Faunal Interval 7. Species of the calcareous foraminifer Nanicella first occur in Zone 5, and are joined by species of Multiseptida high in Zone 5.

The Way

With the corpus organized in the way described in the first part of this article (JIPA 4.2, December 1974) it was possible to move on to the main objective, namely the extraction of a system of intonation from the corpus. In the present work it was a fundamental requirement of the eventual system of intonation that it should account for all the intonation patterns observable in the corpus. It is suggested that this system provides a very adequate means of describing the intonation of modern colloquial Russian in the broader context, although it is not, of course, possible within the limits of this article to test that proposition. If the system is to be descriptive of the intonation of Russian in the widest sense it seems essential that as few assumptions as possible should be made about what is and what is not functional in an intonation system. The problems involved in setting up and testing hypotheses about the function of intonation are considerable, and the only assumption made in this work is that perceivably different intonation patterns could have different functions in the conversational situation—the definition of those functions is not a necessary part of the task here. Given this approach it follows that an intonation system is not regarded as comparable to a phonemic system, in which a relatively small set of functional units will be realized in a very large number of different but not necessarily contrastive ways. Rather it is viewed here as a very much larger set, graded in terms of probability of occurrence.

The possibilities of localizing residual oil reserves in depleted deposits of Tatarstan oilfield analyze in the article. The object of the study is the Pashian deposits of the Frasnian stage, Upper Devonian of the Almetyevskaya area, Romashkino oilfield. Possibilities of bypassed oil searching are considered. Sedimentation and heterogeneity of strata in the terrigenous Devonian sediments within the study area are analyzed in the paper. The analysis was carried out on the basis of well logging data. A detailed correlation of strata has been carried out, and members have been identified according to the rhythm of the layers’ occurrence in the Pashian horizon. The distribution of reservoirs and seals was studied based on the results of the detailed correlation. The analysis is based on a systematic analysis of the research object, which made it possible to consider the problem from different sides. The analysis of structural surfaces, maps of total and oil-saturated thicknesses, porosity, oil saturation, net-to-gross content and dissection along the upper and lower Pashian deposits was carried out. The influence of the structural factor on the reservoir properties of the formations is analyzed. The analysis made it possible to assess the heterogeneity of reservoirs in area and section and to predict the bypassed oil reserves localization.

Functional Purpose

Purpose. Among its collections, the Tobolsk Museum-reserve keep an axe, which was an accidental find. The purpose of this publication is to introduce the presented sample into scientific circulation, as well as to complete the description of the find, establish its functional purpose, chronology and determine its place of production. Upon admission to the museum, it was identified as a combat weapon and tentatively dated to the 17th century. Results. The axe has a wide blade which extends downwards, covered with a notched ornament. An important feature is its asymmetric cross-section, where one of the sides is flat and the other is convex. Similar axes found in Siberia are often defined as battle axes, however this definition is incorrect. Currently, no Tobolsk axe prototypes are known to have been found on the territory of the Moscow state, however asymmetric axes are known to have been used, in particular, in Eastern Europe, since at least the 15th century. According to some authors, asymmetric axes are specialized tools for carpentry and joinery. This definition is most reliably justified in the publication of Polish researcher M. Glosek. This point of view is convincingly confirmed by the catalogues of Eastern European metalworking plants of the first half of the 20th century. The definition of long-bladed asymmetric axes as a combat weapon is based, as a rule, on random finds with unknown dating. More proof can be found by their absence in the materials of archaeological excavations. Conclusion. It can be assumed that asymmetric axes were imported to Russia between the Modern Period up to ethnographic modernity. One of the most likely producers is the Transcarpathian plant in the village of Kobyletskaya Polyana, which specialized in the manufacture of tools for the forest industry and had a fairly wide market. The widest possible period when Transcarpathian axes could be imported into Russia is no earlier than the end of the 18th century, and not later than the middle of the 20th century.

ABSTRACT The research objective of this paper is to compare the current approaches in reporting of gross written premium in selected Central and Eastern European countries. Under current Czech regulations, the gross written premium in majority of Czech insurance companies is charged under the payment method set in the contract (i.e. annually, quarterly, monthly, etc.), however revenues from gross written premium for the accounting period are always shown in the proper amount. Our research confirmed that presented information about gross written premium in various jurisdictions is based on different methodologies and proved that for the comparability of data and for their information capability there is crucial to develop a precise definition of gross written premium; only in such case there would be possible to ensure the credibility of statistical data. Using these incomparable data may lead in many cases to misleading conclusions when evaluating the level of insurance in various countries and regions.

This paper describes the unique seismic character of the Middle to Upper Devonian Pillara Limestone buildups as seen on seismic data acquired in the area northeast of the Pillara Ranges in the northern Canning Basin. The combination of high resolution 'vibroseis' acquisition techniques and relatively shallow depth of burial has enabled previously unattained definition of the reefs and the seismic facies variation associated with them. The lower bank, upper platform, fore- and back-reef facies and sediments of the overlying basinal flooding phase can be identified. The interpretation has been supported by the drilling of two exploration wells which have provided geological control in the subsurface.A model for the growth of the carbonate buildups and the relationship of this growth history to key phases of tectonism in the area has been developed from stratigraphic studies.A comparison with previous models for Devonian reef complexes in the Pillara is also presented.
