Abstract It is true that advancing the globalization process generates a numerous negative externality. Such a negative effect is the proliferation of financial transactions carried out at or even beyond the limits of legality and fairness. The author of this study assumes that “the greater the cross-border financial flows, the greater the money-laundering operations and negative impact on the behavior of the economic actors”. The truism related to this correlation must be deeply understood and the lessons to be delivered must be learned in time. Hidden economy is perceived as all incomes generated in legitimate way but not disclosed to tax administrations, as well as activities such as drug trafficking, gambling, smuggling and others. What distinguishes our study is Quantitative and analytical analysis and to draw conclusions based on those results, through the adoption of a digital index on economic globalization, and the adoption of another numerical indicator of money laundering with its components and weights as well. Additionally, a statistical analysis of the relationship between economic globalization and money laundering will be based on “Pearson correlation coefficient” as we are going to adopt one variable (Economic Globalization) as an independent variable and other variable (Money Laundering) as a dependent variable. The KOF index of globalization will be adopted here, and the selected countries as a study samples will be given a ranking from 1 to 15 according to their degree of economic globalization. Results of my research shows that a negative weak relationship correlation between the degree of the economic globalization of the state and the phenomenon of money laundering which is represented by the size of the hidden economy, which means that the increase of the value for the independent variable (economic globalization) leads to the decline of the value for the dependent variable (money laundering).

The purpose of this study was to examine the pathways between mothers’ inappropriate smart device usage habits, preschoolers’ immersion tendency and self-regulation, and children’s cognitive ability. The subjects of the study were 308 preschoolers aged 4 and 5 years and their mothers in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Incheon, Gangwon-do, Daejeon, Busan, and Mokpo. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation using the SPSS 25 program. A sequential mediation model was analyzed using the AMOS 22 program. Mothers’ inappropriate smart device usage habits were found to have a negative effect on the preschoolers’ self-regulation, and this association was mediated by the preschoolers’ smart device immersion tendency. These findings show the mechanisms through which mothers’ inappropriate smart device usage habits negatively affect preschoolers’ smart device immersion and self-regulation which, in turn, has a negative impact on cognitive ability

AbstractThe challenges facing an international economy in which the importance of the tertiary and quaternary sectors greatly increases, sometimes to the detriment of the primary and secondary ones, in which the financial flows far outstrip the real economic ones and in which the picture of the market participants is changed radically, they are increasingly numerous, more complex and require another type of mechanism to meet them. An almost organic companion of the processes of liberalization of the cross-border economic and financial flows and of the deregulation required by the alignment with the dominant economic philosophy, the non-functionalist one, has been the phenomenon of proliferation of tax havens towards which more and more financial assets flows for decades. These developments are concomitant with the deepening of income inequalities, between states but also within them, with the amplification of the acute lack of resources which can deal with some of the effects of worrying climate developments, with the placing of analysts in the academic environment but also of the political decision makers. of the subject entitled “just transition”. The amplification of the financial transactions carried out through these areas of derogatory taxation, has led to the accumulation of great dissatisfaction among several segments of the company that demand the reform of the economic governance mechanisms so that one can hope to correct the blatant malfunctions and to bring to light and bring to light under the control of civil society of societal deviant behavior from public morality and economic rationality. As a result of scandals of great media relevance, there has been an increasing tendency in international society to take measures, both nationally and internationally, which will help reduce the money-laundering phenomenon. The author intends to analyze the effectiveness with which a series has been implemented and regulations meant to place under a stricter control the evolution of the money laundering phenomenon. The emphasis is on the particularities of money laundering through the Internet and Electronic Commerce because using such a mechanism through the use of electronic financial transfer, the huge growth in the size and speed of financial flows can reduce the chances of detecting the movement of illegal funds.

The Impact

Concealment of income and tax evasion is currently a global problem. The globalization of the economy and the liberalization of the international cash flow take shadow financial flows beyond individual countries, giving them global significance. The article is devoted to the study of the impact of the shadow economy on the indicators of the economic development of the country. The paper hypothesizes the impact of shadow activities at all stages of the resources' production and redistribution, financial stability, and independence of the country, the budget revenues. The article presents a comparative analysis of the dynamics of indicators of the country's economic development and the level of shadowing of the economy. The choice of indicators of economic development of the country substantiates the feasibility of using the Maastricht criteria as target indicators of development of candidate countries for EU accession, which include inflation, interest rates, public debt, budget deficits, and exchange rates. Based on the comparative analysis, it was concluded that there is no direct relationship between the level of the shadow economy and the amount of public debt, the budget deficit, the hryvnia exchange rate against the US dollar, and the discount rate. At the same time, the negative impact of the shadow economy on inflation in the country was confirmed. In the paper, multiple regression coefficients which confirmed the conclusions made at the level of statistical significance of 5% were determined. The paper proves the negative impact of shadow financial transactions on the level of the country's GDP. It is concluded that it is expedient to revise the existing key vectors of the state policy to combat shadowing and the tools of state regulation of the economy by influencing the most sensitive to changes in the level of shadowing indicators of economic development. It is substantiated that the correspondence of the vector of state influence on the economic development of the country to the realities of the functioning of the official and shadow sectors of the economy is a driving force capable of influencing the efficiency and effectiveness of public administration processes.

Relevance. Prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) and its effect on survival is still controversial. It should be to determine the prognostic role of PD-L1 expression on tumor and immune cells of OCSCC and assess their effect on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).Materials and methods. A prospective study included 145 patients, first diagnosed with OCSCC. PD-L1 expression on tumor and immune cells, infiltrating tumor and its microenvironment, was assessed in all tumor samples by IHC, CPS was calculated. Cut-off values were determined by ROC analysis for identification of PD-L1 expression effect on OS and PFS.Results. Most patients with oral mucosa squamous cell carcinoma showed positive expression of PD-L1 on tumor (77.2%) and immune cells (92.4%). The median PD-L1 expression on tumor cells was 13.5% [1.0-40.0], the median PD-L1 expression on immune cells was 5.0% [1.0-11.0], and the median CPS – 18.0 [3.0-7.8]. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed a significant negative effect of PD-L1 expression on immune cells ≤ 7% on OS (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.45-0.93; p = 0.0498); PD-L1 expression in tumor cells ≤ 15% (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.43-0.98; p = 0.0416) and CPS ≤ 21 (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.44-0.92; p = 0.0183) for PFS. PD-L1 expression in tumor cells ≤ 6% (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.47-1.08; p = 0.1096) and CPS ≤ 7 (RR 0.67; 95% CI 0.44-1.01; p = 0.0575) had a confident tendency to negative impact on OS.Conclusion. Positive PD-L1 expression in tumor and immune cells as well as CPS are effective additional factors in the prognosis of the disease course, OS and PFS in patients with OCSCC.

The article considers the problem of reforming national finances at the present stage of economic development, taking into account the features of the functioning of the national economy and fiscal threats. The purpose of this work is to determine the strategy for reforming the fiscal system and substantiate the main directions of its development. The relevance of the study is due to an integrated approach to the formation of fiscal policy, including both its main components: tax, budget, debt policies, and the need to improve the mechanism to ensure their effectiveness. To implement this mechanism, it is necessary to use both innovative methods of planning and forecasting fiscal flows, and to modernize the legal framework that strengthens the foundations of managerial decisions in the field of finance. Based on the goal, a comparative assessment of the forecast and actual scenarios of the development of fiscal relations in the republic was carried out, the most acute points of fiscal policy formation were analyzed: social payments, tax administration, budget financing, debt obligations, information support for the movement of financial flows. Based on the results of the research conducted in the article, conclusions and suggestions are made regarding all areas of improving fiscal policy as the basis for ensuring an effective national financial management strategy. Priority measures have been identified to reduce the negative impact of risks on the stability of the fiscal system. Instruments of regulatory impacts on negative economic and social trends are determined by the choice of areas of strategic management and the mechanism of their organizational support. Scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of a set of elements of fiscal policy as the basis for developing a strategy for managing national finances that takes into account the increase in the social and economic efficiency of using the financial resources of the state.

The Relationship

Abstract Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür) (Hemiptera: Miridae) tends to feed on young plant tissues. To explore the relationship between stylet probing behaviors of adult A. lucorum and conditions of cotton leaves, we conducted an experiment using electropenetrography (EPG). Behaviors were recorded on four cotton varieties, in relation to thickness and biochemical traits of differently-aged leaves. Cotton leaf age had a significant effect on the probing behavior of A. lucorum but cotton variety did not. One-day-old leaves of A. lucorum received the highest mean number of stylet probes (penetrations) per insect, and longest mean durations per insect of combined stylet probing or its components, cell rupture and ingestion behaviors. All of the leaf traits (thickness and biochemical substances) were similar among these four cotton varieties. Leaf thickness had a significantly negative effect on the same four variables above. Gossypol and tannin also had a negative impact on combined probing duration. Redundancy analysis showed that the four EPG variables were closely related to nutrient substances (amino acids, sugar, and water) while they had the opposite relationship with plant defense substances (gossypol and tannin). On cotton in the seedling stages, A. lucorum fed more readily on the youngest, thinnest leaves in our no-choice EPG experiments. Nutrients and chemical resistance substances determined the probing duration of A. lucorum. Our findings can contribute to better understanding of patterns of feeding and host consumption by A. lucorum, ultimately improving cotton resistance to A. lucorum.
