The article proposes the organizational structure of state stimulation of environmentally oriented business. Norms are considered that should be developed based on the results of completed, specially conducted scientific research, survey and design work, using foreign experience. The matrix-rating approach to the assessment of pollution of the environment with the purpose of applying tax, investment incentives and penal sanctions is substantiated. In order to stimulate ecologically oriented business, it is necessary to use a matrix-rating approach to the assessment of environmental pollution in order to apply tax, investment incentives and penalties. To do this, a matrix of total volumes of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere from stationary and mobile sources of pollution should be made taking into account their aggressiveness, the total volumes of pollutant discharge into water bodies also taking into account their aggressiveness and the total volumes of disposal (dumping) of waste at landfills, polygons. The basic systems of preferential taxation are defined for stimulation of reduction of volumes of polluting substances: regulatory taxes should be aimed at the direct prevention of pollution of natural resources, and the tax is commensurate with the economic and environmental damage to the natural environment and public health. The financing taxes are aimed at the collection of monetary amounts and their accumulation in the budget, from which various environmental protection measures are financed. The peculiarity of this type of environmental taxes is that they should not be tightly linked to the negative consequences of production and economic activity. Funding environmental taxes should take into account specific technologies, types of products that must be restricted in production (environmentally hazardous technologies and products), and also when waste management is costly.

Abstract Introduction: The paper focuses on a narrowly specific topic of the family cooperation with an institution of pre-school education - the nursery school (or also just the nursery), concentrating on a specific topic of “media education”. It considers the determining factors and presents partial findings of a research survey aimed at the field of media education in nursery schools. Methods: The paper contains the results of our own questionnaire research, which was carried out online in nursery school teachers. It also contains a theoretical definition of media literacy and media education in the context of the target group. Results: The result is an analysis of the obtained findings and formulated proposals for measures in the given field, which are usable and applicable in practice. Discussion: The individual presented results are continuously discussed with regard to the findings from the field of media education in the nursery school. Today, the world of the media is a common part of life even for children of pre-school age, and therefore it is necessary to teach them to orient themselves in it, which should be one of the tasks of the nursery school. In the Czech Republic, this issue has not yet been addressed at a significant level or to an appropriate extent. Our results are therefore closely linked not only to the discussion comments, but also to the conclusions drawn from them. Limitations: The results of the empirical research may be influenced by the attitudes and prejudices of nursery school teachers in relation to media in pre-school children. Conclusion: An early intervention can teach children to use media for their benefit and prevent media from negatively affecting them. The negative consequences of unrestrained effects of e.g. the television or mobile phones have been empirically proven. This information about the negative consequences is very general, distorted or superficial for the general public (parents), though. We consider the implementation of media education into the “teaching” process in nursery schools to be inevitable, even with regard to a closer cooperation between the institution and parents. However, this also places increased demands on training pedagogical staff in nursery schools in the subject area, creating methodological materials, etc.

Environmental Component

The purpose of this work is to study the development of the national economy in recent years taking into account the environmental component. It is proved that providing conditions for long-term economic growth is the primary task of macroeconomy of any country. Unstable development of the national economy in recent decades accompanied by prolonged crises, as well as a slow path of reforming all spheres of life on the way to building a democratic society with a developed market economy cause constant attention of domestic scientists to this direction. Methodology. The results of environmental protection measures are classified, based on the practical use of modern economic and mathematical methods and models. Results. It is proved that when using these methods, the results of law enforcement measures can be divided into the following groups: in the conditions of positive rates of economic development, the volumes of atmospheric emissions of pollutants and carbon dioxide had a negative dynamics. This scenario of environmental and economic efficiency is the most desirable; positive growth rates of fresh water use are inferior to GDP growth rates, the rates of waste generation and water abstraction exceed the dynamics of GDP growth. This scenario is the least acceptable, as not only environmental damage is increasing in absolute terms, but environmental performance is also deteriorating. Practical implications. The period of 2015–2018 was chosen for research as it was characterized by the resumption of gradual economic growth in most sectors of the economy after the deep crisis of 2014. The available data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2019 has not currently contained complete information on volumes anthropogenic impact. The leaders of regional development in terms of GRP growth in 2015–2018 were Volyn (+ 5.72%), Kyiv (+ 5.66%) and Zhytomyr (+ 5.00%) regions. In contrast, the most depressed regions with negative economic growth rates were Donetsk (-1.86%), Luhansk (-0.84%) and Poltava (-0.51%) regions. In the latter region, the rate of population decline exceeded the increase in labor productivity, resulting in a decrease in performance. Value/originality of the work is the analysis of trends in the national economy taking into account the environmental component, which in contrast to the existing comes from modern experience of practical use of economic and mathematical methods, which allows to develop recommendations based on quantitative estimates.

Abstract.MINORS IN DEPROTECTION SITUATION LIVING IN RESIDENTIAL CENTERS AND SUPPORT SOCIAL NETWORKThe present work focuses on the study of the influence of the support social network for minors in deprotection situation, because the importance that achieves the person-society relationship is irrefutable. The study deals with the Ecological Systems Theory by Bronffernbrenner, which emphasizes the importance of the influence that some agents have over the others within the support social network of the minors. Socialization is an everlasting process by which a biological being transforms into a social being belonging to a given society. If the main social agents (family, school, peer groups, media and new technologies, professionals of the social fields of the minors, etc.) do not adequately fulfill their functions, the biopsychosocial development of the institutionalized minors is at risk, having negative consequences in the rest of the agents also. Thus, it was considered and checked if the support social network is damaged in minors with protective measures. An analytical empirical research based on the positivist paradigm was performed belongs to a non-experimental methodology. The sample consisted of 104 subjects, minors with measures of protection (residents in centers) and without protection measures (residents in their family home). The measurement instrument used was the adaptation of the Functional Social Support Questionnaire by Duke-UNK and data processing was performed by using the SPSS statistical package. It was observed that minors living in a normalized family nucleus shown significantly higher scores on perceived social support than minors living in centers. Due to the dynamic nature of the socialization process, the necessity of intervene in this respect is undeniable in order to improve the biopsychosocial development of minors in lack of protection situation.Keywords: Social support; Support social network; Minors; Deprotection situationResumen.El presente trabajo se centra en el estudio de la influencia de la red social de apoyo en menores en situación de desprotección, pues es irrefutable la importancia que adquiere la relación personasociedad. El estudio gira en torno a la Teoría Ecológica de Bronffernbrenner, que enfatiza la importancia de la influencia que tienen unos agentes sobre otros dentro de la red social de apoyo de los menores. La socialización es un proceso imperecedero mediante el cual un ser biológico pasa a transformarse en un ser social propio de una sociedad determinada. Si los principales agentes sociales (familia, escuela, grupo de iguales, medios de comunicación y nuevas tecnologías, profesionales del ámbito social del menor, etc.) no cumplen sus funciones adecuadamente, el desarrollo biopsicosocial del menor institucionalizado está en riesgo, teniendo también consecuencias negativas en el resto de los agentes. Así, se planteó y se llevó a comprobación si la red social de apoyo se ve dañada en menores con medidas de protección. Se realizó una investigación empírico analítica basada en el paradigma positivista, enmarcada dentro de una metodología no experimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 104 sujetos, menores con medidas de protección –en acogimiento residencial– y sin medidas de protección –residentes en su vivienda familiar–. El instrumento de medida utilizado fue la adaptación del Cuestionario de Apoyo Funcional de Duke-UNK y el tratamiento de datos se realizó mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS. Se observó cómo aquellos menores que viven en un núcleo familiar normalizado presentan puntuaciones significativamente mayores en el apoyo social percibido que los menores institucionalizados. Debido al carácter dinámico del proceso de socialización, es innegable la necesidad de intervenir en este aspecto para mejorar el desarrollo biopsicosocial de los menores en situación de desprotección.Palabras clave: Apoyo social, Red social de apoyo; Menores; Situación de desprotección

The article considers the main aspects of collecting environmental tax. Collection of environmental taxes is one of the means that can restrain the process of deteriorating environmental conditions, and in some cases improve the environmental situation. The article also examines the impact of environmental taxation on improving the environmental situation. The role of the environmental tax at financing of nature protection measures is considered. There are critical remarks of some scientists who point out that the availability of revenues from the environmental tax is not a guarantee of sufficient funding for environmental measures. Attention is paid to the risks of environmental taxation, which are associated with reduced solvency and financial stability of environmental taxpayers who pollute the environment. The classification of environmental taxes is considered, which is built depending on the purposes for which the amounts received as a result of taxation are directed. The essence of the environmental tax levied in Ukraine is investigated. The article analyzes the norms of the Tax Code of Ukraine, which regulate the object of taxation with an environmental tax. Factors influencing the amount of environmental tax to be paid to the budget are studied. First of all, these are the factors that lead to an increase in the tax base. In addition, higher environmental tax rates, which are set by the Tax Code of Ukraine for more hazardous pollutants, also affect the amount of environmental tax to be paid to the budget. The amount of environmental tax paid to the budget is also increased by special coefficients used in calculating the tax liability. It is proposed to apply tax benefits related to the construction of treatment facilities and the installation of treatment equipment when collecting environmental tax. The essence of the proposed environmental tax benefits is that the environmental taxpayer will be able to reduce part of the tax liability. This reduction is carried out by the amount of depreciation of fixed assets, which directly carry out the treatment of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, discharges of pollutants into water bodies, etc. Some aspects of environmental tax accounting are considered.

The Cost

At the present level, the production, transportation and primary processing of oil products is associated with the problem of environmental pollution. The ingress of oil products into the natural environment leads to negative consequences and requires the enterprise to incur additional costs to eliminate the emergency situation and to take environmental protection measures to restore oil-contaminated territories. To restore contaminated territories on the basis of field surveys, which are based on geodetic work, remediation projects are developed. Remediation is carried out on the basis of a project, the reliability of which is taken into account during field geodetic work on determining the site area. In the course of the calculations, it was found that the use of tacheometric survey can significantly increase the cost of field work. In most cases, to ensure the development of a remediation project, it is enough to use domestic GPS receivers. The use of this class of devices will reduce both the timing of field work and their cost. It should be borne in mind that the accuracy of domestic GPS receivers allows using them in determining sites with an area of more than 0.5 ha.

Ecotourism is supposed to be culturally respectful and an agent to enhance indigenous values, culture and heritage conservation through ethical and responsible approach of development. Acknowledging its potential benefits, developing countries like Nepal have promoted ecotourism as a benign and alternative strategy to attract foreign capital particularly by showing indigenous culture, heritage and environmental resources to the tourists. However, in reality, ecotourism has also demonstrated its short-comings that have caused severe environmental damage and socio-cultural problems. In this regard, by adopting multiple techniques of data collection such as survey with households, interview with key informants, participant observation and archival study, this paper examines the role of ecotourism in the conservation of local culture and heritage, and explores the perceived socio-cultural impacts of ecotourism development in the Annapurna Sanctuary Trail in Annapurna region. Research Findings reveal that ecotourism has induced both positive and negative consequences on the local culture and social life. On one hand, social facilities and infrastructure such as road, school, health post, drinking water, and tele-communication have been improved in the settlements along the trail. On the other hand, local culture, traditions and architectural heritage have been threatened by the tourism development. The key objective of ecotourism i.e. conservation of local heritage and culture, is not fully achieved, however local people perceived significant benefits in terms of conservation of biodiversity and economic benefits. The lack of control on the construction of private buildings, and no specific attention on the vernacular architecture, and local cultural practices has pushed communities towards crisis of cultural identity. It recommends to the relevant stakeholders, specifically the government, for adopting comprehensive policies of ecotourism development particularly to promote cultural heritage conservation and sustainability in the region.

Abstract Cardiovascular (CV) stiffening represents a complex series of events evolving from pathological changes in individual cells of the vasculature and heart which leads to overt tissue fibrosis. While vascular stiffening occurs naturally with ageing it is accelerated in states of insulin (INS) resistance, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. CV stiffening is clinically manifested as increased arterial pulse wave velocity and myocardial fibrosis-induced diastolic dysfunction. A key question that remains is how are these events mechanistically linked. In this regard, heightened activation of vascular mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and hyperinsulinaemia occur in obesity and INS resistance states. Further, a downstream mediator of MR and INS receptor activation, the endothelial cell Na+ channel (EnNaC), has recently been identified as a key molecular determinant of endothelial dysfunction and CV fibrosis and stiffening. Increased activity of the EnNaC results in a number of negative consequences including stiffening of the cortical actin cytoskeleton in endothelial cells, impaired endothelial NO release, increased oxidative stress-meditated NO destruction, increased vascular permeability, and stimulation of an inflammatory environment. Such endothelial alterations impact vascular function and stiffening through regulation of vascular tone and stimulation of tissue remodelling including fibrosis. In the case of the heart, obesity and INS resistance are associated with coronary vascular endothelial stiffening and associated reductions in bioavailable NO leading to heart failure with preserved systolic function (HFpEF). After a brief discussion on mechanisms leading to vascular stiffness per se, this review then focuses on recent findings regarding the role of INS and aldosterone to enhance EnNaC activity and associated CV stiffness in obesity/INS resistance states. Finally, we discuss how coronary artery-mediated EnNaC activation may lead to cardiac fibrosis and HFpEF, a condition that is especially pronounced in obese and diabetic females.

The ecological consequences of long-term development of coal deposits for the components of the environment, buildings, communications and infrastructure facilities have been analysed. The stress-deformed state of the rock massif around the preparatory working in the development of multiple coal layers is determined. The parameters of the development of the contiguous layers in the conditions of the mines of the Lviv-Volyn Coal Basin are substantiated. The complex of nature protection measures allowing to reduce the negative consequences of disturbance of the earth’s surface in the development of multiple coal layers is substantiated.

Firms may commit aspects of violence in a sophisticated way. To this end, I argue that, as firms and their influential agents (e.g. government bodies and NGOs that often work as third parties and claim neutrality) participate in designing and performing violent activities under an influence of ideological beliefs, certain aspects of violence are difficult to trace. In other words, it is not always easy to point out exactly which powerful actors did what to result in violence such as injury and killing. Because of this limited traceability of actions, certain consequences of such violence remain invisible for a long period of time. However, such violence has devastating effects that go beyond the physical and mental harm suffered by the victim, affecting even the socio-emotional situations of marginalized people. Accordingly, I conceptualize a form of violence with limited traceability and invisible negative consequences, which is termed as insensitive violence. By doing so, I also discuss fundamental flaws of economic and human perspectives of development that encourage recursive use of insensitive violence at the expense of environmental damage and emotional degradation of marginalized communities.

The Program for the protection of air quality, ozone layer, climate change mitigation and adaptation of the Krapina-Zagorje County is prepared in accordance with the Article 12 of the Air Protection Act (OG 130/11, 47/14, 61/17, 118/18). The Program sets targets and measures by priority sectors, deadlines and responsible authorities for measures implementation over a five-year period in the County. For the purpose of defining protection measures, based on available data, estimation of annual emissions of pollutants into air was performed: nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and dinitrogen monoxide from the main sectors. Emissions were estimated using the EMEP/EEA methodology and 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories methodology. Road traffic emissions were estimated using DEFRA/DECC methodology. Based on the results on estimated pollutant emissions in the County, appropriate measures have been defined for the protection and improvement of air quality.
