Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the impact of increased timber logging after natural disasters on timber assortments, unit prices, as well as average prices of timber spruce and total timber. The net sales prices of the years 2004-2010, available from the database of the State Forests Information System (SFIS) for the Forest District of Węgierska Górka, were analysed and compared to the prices of selected forest districts within the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Cracow (RDSF). The forest districts were classified based on the volume of logged timber leading to a separation into two groups of two and six forest districts. Moreover, we tested for significance in the linear trends of relevant characteristics and determined confidence intervals. Furthermore, we calculated the rate of growth (decrease) of the unit prices. Our studies show a decrease in price of only some of the timber assortments despite a significantly increased supply. Price declines were observed for the average prices of timber spruce and total timber due to their lowered quality. The price of timber assortments was mainly determined by effects of macroeconomic factors.

The Impact

Introduction: Injuries or any other health problems with sudden onset, generated by violence or other exogenous cause, are called external causes (EC). The indicator Potential Years of Life Lost - PYLL expresses the impact of early deaths in relation to the life expectancy for a given population. ECs were the major causes of death in children aged 1 to 9 years with 1,037 deaths (19.38%). Objective: To determine PYLL by EC among children aged 1 to 9 years in the state of Piauí, Brazil. Methods: This is a retrospective, longitudinal study with a quantitative approach. Its scenario is the State of Piauí. The population and sample were composed of deaths from EC registered in the Mortality Information System - MIS from Brazil, which occurred in children in the intended age group. For data analysis, the method that establishes a limit age for the calculation of PYLL was used, based on the average life of the population. Results: In Piauí between January 2000 and December 2018, there were 1,037 deaths (11.67%). The highest number of PYLL was found among male children, aged 5 to 9 years. Deaths caused by drowning were predominant, with 258 deaths (24.9%), being responsible for 16,857 PYLL, followed by accidents with pedestrians, with 184 deaths (17.8%), adding up to 11,911.5 years. Conclusion: Accidental drowning and submersion and pedestrian accidents predominate as the main EC. It can be estimated that 67,581 years of life for children aged 1 to 9 years were lost by EC in Piauí.

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the impact of increased forest management due to natural disasters on particular core unit costs. We analysed the direct costs for the Forest District of Węgierska Górka in the years 2004-2010 based on information from the State Forests lnformation System (SFIS) database compared with selected forest districts within the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Cracow (RDSF). The forest districts were divided into two groups with two and six forest districts and confidence intervals around the mean were determined and the significance of linear regressions of the considered characteristics was tested. Additionally, the growth rate (decrease) of the unit cost was calculated. Our studies showed that natural disasters affect only certain unit costs regardless of the intensity of the forest management. The increase in unit costs resulted in economic losses in forest management. A full long-term analysis of the economic impact of natural disasters should be done, taking into account the cost of reforestation of destroyed areas which may become apparent only some years later.

Overdose Deaths

Introduction:The opioid epidemic is overwhelming communities across the United States. West Virginia (WV) has been devastated, heralding a 86% increase in deaths from 2012-2016, and over 1,000 deaths last year as per WV Health Statistics Center. Treatment centers and providers have emerged throughout the state to provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The impact of these clinics on the opioid abusing population is not yet fully understood.Aim:Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS), a comparison of MAT provider locations versus regions of historical overdoses can indicate areas of deficiency. If no providers emerge in underserved counties, overdose deaths in those areas will continue to rise.Methods:Maps were created using current DEA-X licenses in WV registered through Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAHMSA). Overdose death rates were taken from WV Public Health Records from 2010-2017. Two maps and corresponding data were compared for overlap or lack thereof.Results:Of the 338 locations of DEA-X licenses registered, 17.5% are in Cabell County, which led the state in overdose deaths in 2017. Only 2.5% of the total providers are currently in Wayne County, which had the second highest overdose death rate. Berkeley County, which was 3rd highest, has a mere 6.5% of total providers. Comparatively, Kanawah County, home to the state’s capital, has over twice this number of providers despite consistently having at or below the state average of overdose rates. Resources are pulled towards population-dense areas or university centers, where the epidemic is present but misses counties with higher overdose rates.Discussion:Results show a lack of MAT providers in many of WV’s devastated counties. Treatment centers exist throughout the state but are concentrated in regions with large cities or academic centers. This distribution limits accessibility to a marginalized patient population, making improvements unlikely in WV’s future opioid-overdose death rates.

Introduction. The globalization of the world economy, the rapid development of information and digitization objectively determine the dynamism of the priority areas for the investment projects implementation in the field of IT. Therefore, the governmental structures should regularly update the list of priority projects for state support, particularly in Ukraine, which is in crisis economic situation increasing its own dependence on external capital, technologies, products (services). The purpose of the study is to substantiate the analytical and strategic aspects of implementation of the state policy of investment processes development in the Ukrainian market of IT services. Methods. As the methodological basis of the study the expert and statistical methods (for instance, Delphi, M. Kendall and B. Smith methods; Gallup Institute methodology; Pearson’s rule; Harrington’s scale etc.), systematic and structural analysis, the theories of economic growth, the modern concepts of transitional economic systems are used. Results. The theoretical and methodological fundamentals and features of state regulation of the investment processes in the market of IT services are generalized. Using the Delphi method, an analytical study of the investment security of the IT services market subjects and the effectiveness of the state policy in this field are conducted. Accordingly, a number of IT companies which are the leaders of the Ukrainian market in the development, implementation and sales of information and communication products have been selected for our research in 2018-2020 (Ciklum, DataArt, Sigma Software, GlobalLogic, EPAM, N-iX, 2Event.com, Skelia, Intellias, Lohika). The M. Kendall and B. Smith method is used to determine the validity and objectivity of evaluation according to Pearson’s rules. The Gallup Institute methodology is used to justify the sampling size of IT enterprises. With reference to the investment development of the Ukrainian market of IT services, the impact of macroeconomic factors, the needs, the accessibility and the impediments of attracting investments, the development of investment infrastructure, the level of financial security and investment management, the prospects for state policy implementation are characterized. Quality and capability of business infrastructure elements in IT services market and high level of tax burden have been named by the experts as the factors of the macroeconomic environment with the very high level of influence on the security of investment. The scheme of strategic approaches and the consistent implementation of state policy of the investment processes development in the market of IT services are developed. The levels of implementation of the state policy of investment processes development in the IT services market are interpreted by using the Harrington’s scale. The main tasks, tools, means and priorities of the state policy of investment processes development in the IT services market are determined. Conclusion. It is proved that one of the most influential directions of state regulation of the IT services market development is the sphere of investment processes. The peculiarities of the investment process and the functioning of the IT services market affect the specifics of their state regulation updating the task of economic, financial and resource investments support. The effective state regulation of the investment process in the market of IT services should be economic in nature and directed primarily at achieving the strategic goal of creating a quality investment environment in the information technology sector.

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the impact an increased wood supply from the Beskid forests after natural disasters on the timber economy of the Węgierska Górka Forest District and its surroundings in the years 2004–2010. The analysis was based on the wood raw material sales recorded in the database of the State Forestry Information System (SILP). Information on the buyers'location and their main use for the raw material were obtained through the Central Statistical Office. Furthermore, wood material buyers were classified according to the Polish Classification of Activities (PCA) based on the year 2007, using only a subjective analysis designed for enterprises and other economic units in the national economy. Changes in sales of wood material to the selected buyer groups were investigated using statistical analyses of linear trends. A Pearson's correlation analysis verified the relationships between the buyer groups and the supply of timber assortments by the Węgierska Górka Forest District. Other studies have also shown that an increased supply of raw material in the context of natural disasters affects the types of wood buyers and their location. In addition, they have shown an increase in interest towards the purchase of raw materials among buyers engaged in the wholesale trade of wood and other non-wood producers which in turn decrease the share purchased by sawmills.

The field of social innovation is developing rapidly all over the world, with new institutions, methods and activities. The article deals with some aspects of the innovative model. The necessity of formation and development of the knowledge economy. Studied the shortcomings of the existing model of innovation, in particular, the impact on it of the world of globalization, the lack of equal international relations, the low efficiency of public administration and regulation of the national economy. In particular, the article highlights the impact of macroeconomic factors on the implementation of innovation policy, state strategic objectives and their financial support in comparison with foreign countries. The dynamics of science financing were analyzed in dependence of their sources. Grounded priorities of innovation policy of the state: the development of high-tech production; ensuring an adequate level of financing of domestic science; increasing the share of innovation-active industrial enterprises, development of new techniques and technologies; development of venture businesses. Exacerbated by the current economic crisis, Europe is confronted with many complex and interrelated socio-economic challenges affecting individuals, firms, sectors and regions. While traditional innovations are of utmost importance for regional development, its impact as regards regional socio-economic challenges seems to be not sufficient. Regional resilience and competitiveness additionally require new ways of thinking, new alliances, new processes and new forms of dialogue. Social innovation as new solutions leading to improved capabilities, new forms of collaboration and a better use of societal resources can help regions to sustainably cope with social challenges. Against this backdrop this paper examines the necessity for new modes of policy production arising from the revitalization of social innovation as means of tackling the socio-economic challenges that regions are facing. It argues that a positive role for the state in stimulating, resourcing and sustaining social innovation means moving beyond traditional ways of designing and delivering public policies and programs.

The article deals with economic sanctions and their impact on the state and prospects of the neighboring partner economies - the European Union (EU) and Russia. It provides comparisons of current data with that of the year 2013 (before sanctions) to demonstrate the impact of sanctions on both sides. Despite the fact that Russia remains the EU’s key partner, it came out of the first three partners of the EU. The current economic recession is caused by different reasons, not only by sanctions. Both the EU and Russia have internal problems, which the sanctions confrontation only exacerbates. The article emphasizes the need for a speedy restoration of cooperation.

Sources of revenue and expenditure of APBD (regional budget) can be allocated to finance the compulsory affairs and optional affairs in the form of programs and activities related to the improvement of public services, job creation, poverty alleviation, improvement of environmental quality, and regional economic growth. The implications of these policies is the need for funds to finance the implementation of the functions, that have become regional authority, is also increasing. In practice, regional financial management still poses a complicated issue because the regional head are reluctant to release pro-people regional budget policy, even implication of regional autonomy is likely to give birth to little kings in region causing losses to state finance and most end up in legal proceedings. This paper discusses the loss of state finance and forms of liability for losses to the state finance. The result of the study can be concluded firstly,  there are still many differences in giving meaning and definition of the loss of state finace and no standard definition of state losses, can cause difficulties. The difficulty there is in an effort to determine the amount of the state finance losses. The calculation of state/regions losses that occur today is simply assessing the suitability of the size of the budget and expenditure without considering profits earned by the community and the impact of the use of budget to the community. Secondly, the liability for losses to the state finance is the fulfillment of the consequences for a person to give or to do something in the regional financial management by giving birth to three forms of liability, namely the Criminal liability, Civil liability, and Administrative liability.Keywords: state finance losses, liability, regional finance.

Subject. We assess the impact of tight financial and monetary policy of the government of the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia on the level of household income and poverty reduction in Russia. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of financial and monetary policy in Russia and determine why the situation with household income and poverty has not changed for the recent six years, and the GDP growth rate in Russia is significantly lagging behind the global average. Methods. The study employs methods of analysis of scientific and information base, and synthesis of obtained data. The methodology and theoretical framework draw upon works of domestic and foreign scientists on economic and financial support to economy and population’s income. Results. We offer measures for liberalization of the financial and monetary policy of the government and the Central Bank to ensure changes in the structure of the Russian economy. The proposed alternative economic and financial policy of the State will enable the growth of real incomes of the population, poverty reduction by half by 2024, and annual GDP growth up to 6 per cent. Conclusions. It is crucial to change budget priorities, increase the salaries of public employees, introduce a progressive tax rate for individuals; to reduce the key rate to the value of annual inflation and limit the bank margin. The country needs a phased program to increase the population's income, which will ensure consumer demand.
