The article discloses the peculiarities of the use of financial and credit instruments, in particular local borrowings, in the local structural policy. It is identified that the task of local self-government bodies of cities is to form their own local structural policy, which would focus on innovative, technological and inclusive development. The implementation of such a policy requires the use of a number of instruments, including budget, investment, financial and credit, grant, marketing and management, tax, etc. An important place is given to financial and credit instruments, as they allow attracting additional financial resources for the development of the city economy. Among the financial instruments, the author examines local borrowings, including bond loans and local guarantees. Bond loans have not become a common insrtument for attracting financial resources, which is associated with a number of obstacles to their issue. Among the cities of the Western region of Ukraine, only Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk issued bonds for the period of 2015–2020. It is determined that local borrowing also does not play a significant role in the formation of the cities’ financial resources due to the low creditworthiness of the latter, as well as the complex procedure for obtaining. The instrument of local guarantees enables local self-government bodies to implement projects for the development of communal infrastructure and resource saving. Due to legislative restrictions, local self-government bodies cannot use local borrowings to implement local structural policies by supporting strategic sectors of the local economy. The full use of this instrument in local structural policy requires amendments to the legislation that would give greater autonomy to local self-government bodies and create opportunities for increasing the competitiveness of the urban economy.

The article analyzes the migration and demographic situation of the population of Western Kazakhstan in the second half of the nineteenth century. Factors affecting population growth, mechanisms for regulating internal and external migration are considered. In the period under review, the population of the Western region of Kazakhstan in terms of number (1142384 people) was densely populated after Southern Kazakhstan (1499201 people). Residents of Western Kazakhstan made up 27.54% of the total population of the region. By the end of the nineteenth century, the population of the city in Western Kazakhstan was relatively small, especially with a small share of the Kazakh population in the city. The majority of the urban population are Slavic ethnic groups, and the number of Tatars in the cities of the region is also growing

AbstractThe Türkmen-Karahöyük Intensive Survey Project (TISP) has identified the archaeological site of Türkmen-Karahöyük on the Konya plain as a previously unknown Iron Age capital city in the western region of Tabal. Surface collections and newly discovered inscriptional evidence indicate that this city is the early first-millennium royal seat of ‘Great King Hartapu’, long known from the enigmatic monuments of nearby Kizildağ and Karadağ. In addition to demonstrating this Iron Age city's existence, supported principally by (1) the site's size at the time and (2) the discovery of a royal inscription authored by Hartapu himself, TISP has documented the site's existence from the Late Chalcolithic period until the late first millennium BCE, with a maximum size reached between the Late Bronze and Iron Age periods, suggesting that the city was at its greatest extent and the regional political centre from at least the late second to the mid-first millennium BCE.

The problems of structural changes in the economy of large and medium-sized cities of the Western region of Ukraine are investigated. Special attention is paid to the spatial localization of cities, the cultural and historical traditions of functioning of their economy, the branch specialization and institutional environment of influence on the formation of business climate and economic development as the main factors of structural transformation of urban economy. To compare the peculiarities of economy transformation in the selected for the study large and medium-sized cities of the Western region of Ukraine, the dynamics of change of individual comparable indicators of their development in 2010 - 2017 were analyzed. This primarily relates to such indicators as the volume of freight transportations, the total area of new residential buildings, the retail turnover of enterprises, the capital investments, as well as the export services and its ratio to the export of goods. Based on the analysis of the relevant data, the main tendencies of structural transformation of the economy of large and medium-sized cities of the Western region of Ukraine that were selected for the study have been identified. The mentioned structural transformation are confirmed to be occurring primarily in the direction of equalization of the branch proportions of economic development of cities, irrespective of their size. At the same time, there is a tendency to move from mono-functional to poly-functional specialization of the urban economy on the basis of accelerated growth of those types of economic activity, the potential of which has not been fully realized before. The research gave the basis for the conclusion that the size of the city is not the determinative factor for the development or decline of certain types of their economic activity. Instead, spatial localization and traditions of business culture as well as the characteristic features of the evolution of the institutional environment of the city and the quality of human capital have the primary importance.

An urgent issue today is the introduction into practice of theoretical developments of scientists in both Ukraine and the world in determining the optimal place of spatial orientation of the newly formed business. At the same time, the analysis of the correctness of the spatial orientation of existing enterprises is no less important. Thus, the search for the optimal location for enterprises should be imposed on the prism of the existing economic potential of Ukraine, because it is impossible to find the optimal location for the enterprise without having an idea of which enterprises already exist in the study region, which are planned for construction of this region, and which are not, etc. The article analyzes the bioeconomic potential of the western region of Ukraine. Relevant economic complexes for the studied region are singled out from among all economic complexes. Ways of their development for the purpose of restructuring of economic potential of the western region of Ukraine are presented. It is substantiated that the ecological situation in the western region of Ukraine tends to be unfavorable. It is determined that the western region occupies an important place in the economy of Ukraine, producing about 15 percent of industrial and agricultural products. Here the industrial-agrarian type of economic complex was formed. The leading industries of the region are forestry, woodworking, pulp and paper, chemical and petrochemical, mechanical engineering and metalworking, light and food industries. The dominant place in the branch structure of industry is occupied by mechanical engineering and metalworking. The most powerful branches of the western region of Ukraine are investigated. The ways of restructuring of underdeveloped enterprises of the studied branches are presented. Prospects for the development of production and economic structures of bioeconomic orientation are substantiated. It is proved that the restructuring of the economic potential of the western region of Ukraine should be carried out in the following areas: strengthening the balance of socio-economic and environmental development; introduction of innovations in all branches of economy of the western region of Ukraine; innovative development of production, communication and information, social infrastructure; intensive development of the recreational complex, etc.

A antroponímia pode revelar importantes dados sobre a história de um local e ser influenciada por momentos históricos. No munícipio de Palotina, região oeste do Paraná, houve, na década de 1970, um movimento migratório, nomeado Era da Hortelã, o qual contribuiu significativamente para a consolidação da antroponímia local. Até então, a região era colonizada por sulistas, imigrantes oriundos da região sul do país, mas, com a produção da menta, houve a imigração de pessoas que eram oriundos de outras regiões do Brasil que a não a região sul para o trabalho no cultivo da erva. Levanta-se, então, a seguinte questão: há mudança no sistema antroponímico decorrente deste movimento migratório? Com o referido questionamento e tomando por base os estudos de Vescovi (2015; 2016), intenta-se apresentar informações relativas aos sobrenomes e aos prenomes existentes no local antes e depois deste momento, considerando os estudos de Seide (2013a, 2013b, 2013c) sobre prenomes tradicionais e modismos. A análise feita demonstra que a história de uma comunidade pode ser comprovada por meio dos dados antroponímicos, pois foi possível correlacionar as mudanças antroponímicas, tanto em âmbito etimológico quanto em surgimento de outros prenomes não presentes até então, com as informações sobre a história do município.Palavras-chave: Onomástica; Antroponomástica Histórica; Era da Hortelã  Abstract Anthroponomy can reveal important data about the history of a place and be influenced by historical moments. In the city of Palotina, in the western region of Paraná, there was, in the 1970s, a migratory movement, named Era da Hortelã, which contributed significantly to the consolidation of local anthroponomy. Until then, the region was colonized by southerners, immigrants from the southern region of the country, but with the production of mint, there was an immigration of people who were from other regions of Brazil other than the southern region to work in cultivation of the herb. The question then arises: is there a change in the anthroponomical system resulting from this migratory movement? With this question and based on the studies of Vescovi (2015; 2016), it is intended to present information regarding the surnames and first names existing in the place before and after this moment, considering the studies by Seide (2013a, 2013b, 2013c) about traditional first names and fads. The analysis made shows that the history of a community can be verified through anthroponomical data, since it was possible to correlate anthroponomical changes, both in etymological scope and in the appearance of other first names not present until then, with information about the history of the city.Keywords: Onomastic; Historical Anthroponomics; Era da Hortelã

The literature on Canadian English provides evidence of distinct dialect regions. Within this landscape, the province of British Columbia is set apart as a sub-region in the west, yet information concerning “local” English is notably skewed toward a single urban setting, Vancouver. To assess and extend the generalizability of prior observations, this paper targets the city of Victoria and situates the results from a large-scale sociolinguistic investigation within the model of the typical (western) Canadian city presented in Boberg (2008, 2010). We consider vocalic features characterized as either General Canadian or distinctively Western Canadian. We also consider “yod” (i.e., the presence of an onglide in student, tune, and the like), a conservative feature that is obsolescing across the nation. Our results support Boberg’s (2008, 2010) observations while positioning Victoria as both innovative—participating in national changes—and conservative—joining certain changes relatively recently and retaining older dialect features. Such results enable us to trace leveling to national and more local dialect patterns, while also reminding us of sociohistorical forces in the formation of dialects.
