This article is the result of an investigation about tax incentives in the State of Maranhão, where the purpose was to answer the question: what is the efficiency of tax incentives in relation to the impact on the state of employment? The hypothesis behind this research is that the idea of the Maranese government to create fiscal incentives to stimulate the generation of employment and income can not impact the regions with low human development index (HDI). The general objective of this article is to verify the relationship between the fiscal incentive and the balance of jobs between 2010 and 2016 in Maranhão in regions with lower HDI. The specific objectives are: to investigate the policy of granting the fiscal incentive "more companies" in Maranhão; compare the number of jobs generated with the number of companies that benefited from the tax incentive; to verify the evolution of the jobs generated in each mesoregion and to know the economic activities that generate more jobs in the state. This study is justified because it believes in the relevance it can bring to the academic environment and to the society that encompasses government, companies and professionals, since it presents a more comprehensive perspective regarding economic development in the local regional government of Maranhão. It considers the methodology of this study, a field research, but of quantitative-descriptive character. Among the results, it was identified that the fiscal incentive had no impact on job creation in the Meso-regions that have the lowest HDI indices in the state of Maranhão between 2010 and 2016.

Twelve (12) out of the Twenty-three (23) local government areas (LGAs) in Benue State do not have the presence of banks over a long period of time. This situation has deprived the inhabitants of these LGAs of access to formal financial services until the advent of agency banking. This study therefore, investigates the impact of agency banking on financial inclusion and economic activities in Benue State focusing on the agency banking activities of First Bank Ltd. The study is anchored on the agency theory and it used a survey design. The study has utilized both primary and secondary data that were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and structural equation models. Findings of the study have revealed that agency banking activities of First Bank Ltd have immensely enhanced financial inclusion and economic activities in Benue State. However, challenges such as shortages of cash, security problems, network failures, and lack of financial literacy are militating against the smooth operations of the agency banking in the State. On the basis of these findings, the study has recommended among others that, other banks operating in the State should be encouraged to venture into agency banking in the state so as to have a wider coverage of agency banking in the State. Also, government should provide security and partner with the private sector to provide national carrier communication network system to overcome the network failure challenge. Finally, banks should intensify efforts to educate the masses about the validity and potency of agency banking.

This article analyzes the problem of the state of the water bodies in Ishim by anthropogenic pressures. The study shows that the water reservoirs are negatively influenced by the economic activities of the population. The author defines their main directions: industrial wastewater discharge to the city water bodies, construction and operation of engineering constructions, activity in the private sector. To assess the state of the water bodies the author uses the results of the visual assessment of the state of the riverbeds and their coastal zone, the organoleptic water indicators (turbidity, color and smell), the analysis of the hydrobiological studies (determination of the degree of saprobity of the water bodies as indicators ciliated infusoria). The study showed the satisfactory condition of all the water reservoirs and the non-critical impact. As the enterprises for light manufacturing and food industries in Ishim are not sources of chemical, organic and other pollution the visual assessment didn't reveal significant deformations of the riverbeds and any changes in the coastal zone. The impact of the private sector is local and not the significant cause of organic pollution.

The major drive for financial inclusion started in the country mainly from year 2014 after the launch of Jan Dhan Yojana which focused mainly towards empowering dwellers of resource deprived and underdeveloped regions. Economic empowerment of such deprived sections is possible only when they are provided with ample opportunities for income generation in various economic activities. The prominent aim of financial inclusion is to facilitate residents of such deprived regions by reaching out to them and delivering them facilities so that they could identify and work on their capabilities to generate employment and income earning opportunities. The economically deprived and vulnerable population, through it, could be secured, from falling in the trap of poor informal level activities. These low-level informal activities are not suitable for them and for their overall development in the long run. Financial inclusion thus helps them in getting out of the poverty trap and hence acts as one of the important facility or an instrument which could help in a larger achievement of the goal of the development of residents of such deprived regions. Keeping these aspects in consideration the present study aims to understand the impact of financial inclusion on two important variables i.e. income generation and enhancement of savings among the residents of Mountain regions of the state which also represents the deprived and underdeveloped regions. The study was conducted in three mountain districts of the state and the results of the study shows that financial inclusion has helped in income generation in these regions but the impact of it has been different among different caste categories. Further the study shows that financial inclusion worked to enhance the income generation with larger benefits to households having higher levels of income. The study also depicts the positive impact of financial inclusion on savings but with noticeable variations in its impact on different caste groups.

Sofia Aleksandrovna Avizhanskaya is known for her research in the field of decorative and applied art of the Bashkirs and the Bashkir collections she collected for the State Museum of Ethnography of the Peoples of the USSR. However, her contribution to ethnographic science is not limited to this. The proposed publication introduces into scientific circulation Avizhanskaya’s manuscript about the Bashkir wedding, discovered in the Scientific Archives of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the 1956 field diary of Rail Gumerovich Kuzeev. The author supplements these materials with the information contained in Avizhanskaya’s expeditionary report, and highlights their novelty and uniqueness using our own field records of recent years. Archival sources indicate that during joint field research, Kuzeev often served as Avizhanskaya’s translator from Bashkir into Russian, including the story of a wedding, and shared his knowledge of the history and life of the Bashkirs. This helped Avizhanskaya to study the territorial features of the national costume, economic activities, food systems and other areas of the ethnography of the Bashkirs. For her part, she passed on the experience of expeditionary work. A record of the Bashkir “red wedding” made jointly by Avizhanskaya and Kuzeev fills in the source gap in the study of the Bashkir ritual of the mid-20th century. The manuscript presents the local features of the northeastern Bashkirs, preserved traditions, including the institution of “planted parents”, as well as other ethnic and Soviet customs that have penetrated into ritualism.

The successful functioning of business entities and their achievement of strategic advantages in a competitive environment largely depend on the effectiveness of their innovative activities. Therefore, an important area of tax regulation in the country should be to stimulate the attraction of investments for the introduction of innovations into economic activities. The purpose of the article is to assess the tax regulation of innovative activities of business entities in Ukraine and to develop proposals for its improvement. To achieve this goal, a systematic approach, an abstract-logical method, an economic-statistical and a comparison method were used. The authors analyzed the state of legislative regulation of innovative activity in Ukraine and identified its shortcomings regarding the interpretation of the concept of «innovative activity». The methods of tax incentives for innovative activities, contained in the legislation of Ukraine, have been investigated. It is proved that, unlike foreign countries, tax support for innovative projects in Ukraine has not yet received a stimulating character and has not become a means of activating the process of modernizing the material and technical base of enterprises. It was stated that according to the indicators of the European Innovation Board (EIT), the position of Ukraine is defined as the crane «Innovator that is being formed». It is noted that it is possible to start the process of innovative renewal of the national economy, subject to the introduction of a policy of tax incentives and the construction of an effective taxation model for innovative activities of a stimulating nature. The state of foreign investment and innovation activity of business entities in Ukraine has been analyzed. The possible directions of using tax instruments to stimulate innovative technologies have been substantiated, which include tax holidays for startups, the use of accelerated depreciation, a tax credit for the payment of payroll taxes, the introduction of a tax credit for income tax, a deferral of tax payments and carry forward of losses.
