SYSTEMATIZATION OF FACTORS AND CRITERIA OF INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS

In conditions when own resources are limited, enterprises need cash receipts from investors, which will serve as a necessary complement to their own funds. For this reason, at the present stage, the relevance of scientific research and practical development in the field of research of investment attractiveness of enterprises is increasing. However, the issue of assessing the investment attractiveness of an enterprise has not yet been fully considered; there is no single theoretical and methodological base, which is due to the lack of an accurate interpretation of the term "investment attractiveness of an enterprise" itself, as well as the methodology and methodology for its assessment. Thus, the relevance of the study is due to the need to analyze and systematize existing approaches to the study of investment attractiveness of enterprises. In economic studies, investment attractiveness is understood as a complex indicator characterizing the feasibility of investing in an economic entity. The investment attractiveness of the enterprise depends both on external factors characterizing the level of development of the industry and the region in which the enterprise in question is located, and on internal factors - the results of the enterprise itself. Thus, an assessment of the investment attractiveness of an enterprise can be carried out by various methods aimed at identifying positive and negative factors of influence. The investment attractiveness of the enterprise is characterized by a set of indicators of its activity, which determines for the investor the area of the desired values of investment behavior. Investment attractiveness has a number of basic aspects: scientific, technical, commercial, environmental, institutional, social, financial and investment. The conclusions presented in the scientific article are the initial stage in the study of this topic.

Additional resource for diabetes diagnostics in animals and humans

Veterinary doctors often observe cases of unexplained elevated glucose and ketones in urine of domestic animals without any other signs of diabetes. We studies these effects from the standpoint of the phenomenon of interdependent conditions in animals and humans, described by T.V.Novosadyuk in 2000. She was the first to provide a theoretical and practical foundation for clinical cases of simultaneously developing similar diseases in domestic animals and their owners. During the last 5 years we studied health of humans in families where domestic animals are affected by the laboratory abnormalities described above. In vast majority of cases it has been found out that animal owners have diabetes mellitus of variable severity. At the same time there were no disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in animal owners in 11 cases. We recommended members of these families to undergo a specialized examination. In all of these cases latent diabetes mellitus was found in humans who had especially close relationships with animals. These findings led to initiation of treatment in humans. At the same time animals were treated with a collar with a linen sack attached containing Peganum Harmala 30 globules. Repeated laboratory tests were performed after one month of such treatment. Normalization of laboratory variables was observed in all of the cases. Based on the study results we developed an algorhythm of activities that helps to diagnose early and latent forms of diabetes mellitus in domestic animals and their owners. This algorhythm includes: - test for glucose and/or ketones in animal urine after correction of feeding and care defects. - blood and urine glucose tests in family members of animal owners. In cases of deviations from normal values we recommended them to consult appropriate specialists and begin treatment immediately. - animals are given collars with Peganum Harmala 30 globules in a linen sack attached. - granules are removed when laboratory values normalize in animals. Control urinalysis is performed every three months durign a year. This approach is especially useful in latent early forms of diabetes mellitus when abnormal findings in animals or their owners enable us to suspect a similar disease in another. In such a way, the suggested algorithm is effective for organization of preclinical diagnostics in both domestic animals and their owners. In the future it is possible to enrich not only veterinary but also medical practice with new options for effective patient aid by practical development of the use of animal and human interdependent conditions.

THE ELABORATION OF A THERAPEUTIC COMPLEX FOR UNSTABLE STENOCARDIA WITH THE TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS BACKGROUND WITH ACCOMPANYING HYPERVENTILATIVE SYNDROME: ANALYSIS OF CLINIC-CARDIOLOGY AND RESPIRATORY-METABOLICPARAMETERS

В статье представлены данные оригинального исследования по созданию терапевтического комплекса, направленного на улучшение интенсивного лечения нозологической ассоциации «нестабильная стенокардия (в качестве основного заболевания) + сахарный диабет второго типа (в качестве фоновой патологии) + гипервентиляционный синдром (в качестве сопутствующего состояния)». Разработанный комплекс основан на контролируемом изменении вспомогательной респираторной оксигенации «в сторону уменьшения» при условии обязательного дополнения базисной фармакотерапии сбалансированной комбинацией препаратов антигипоксического действия и дезагрегантом нового поколения. Проведено сравнительное исследование двух групп тематических пациентов - с применением разработанного комплекса и с использованием «традиционного подхода». Изучены ключевые параметры клинического кардиологического и респираторно-метаболического статуса пациентов. При использовании разработанного терапевтического комплекса по сравнению с «традиционным подходом» установлено принципиальное улучшение параметров клинико-кардиологического статуса при сохранении параметров респираторно-метаболического статуса в пределах адаптивных и безопасных значений. Полученные результаты имеют высокий уровень статистической значимости. Это доказало достаточную обоснованность авторской научно-практической разработки. Представленные в статье данные отличает новизна и практическая применимость, что позволяет рекомендовать их к дальнейшему использованию в практике специалистов клиники внутренних болезней The article presents the data of the original research on the creation of a therapeutic complex aimed at improving the intensive treatment of the nosological association «unstable angina pectoris (as the main disease) + type 2 diabetes mellitus (as a background pathology) + hyperventilation syndrome (as a concomitant condition)». The developed complex is based on a controlled change in auxiliary respiratory oxygenation «downward», provided that basic pharmacotherapy must be supplemented with a balanced combination of antihypoxic drugs and a new generation of antiaggregants. A comparative study of two groups of thematic patients was carried out - using the developed complex and using the «traditional approach». The key parameters of the clinical cardiological and respiratorymetabolic status of patients were studied. When using the developed therapeutic complex in comparison with the «traditional approach», a fundamental improvement in the parameters of the clinical and cardiological status was established while maintaining the parameters of the respiratory and metabolic status within the adaptive and safe values. The results obtained have a high level of statistical significance. This proved the sufficient validity of the author's scientific and practical development. The data presented in the article are distinguished by novelty and practical applicability, which makes it possible to recommend them for further use in the practice of specialists in the clinic of internal diseases

Eating and learning about food at school and on campus:

Food is an interdisciplinary topic that transverses different areas of knowledge, allowing it to be used as a pedagogical resource in numerous teaching-learning processes and environments. This paper seeks to contribute to early debates on the relationship between public procurement and food pedagogies in schools and universities, a topic that is still little addressed in the literature. I explore the Farm to Cafeteria Canada (F2CC) network in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, which beyond institutional procurement recognises food as a pedagogical resource at schools and on campus. My research is based on 18 site visits and qualitative analysis of documents and 9 semi-structured interviews conducted with institutional administrators associated with F2CC in Metro Vancouver. This paper demonstrates how the F2CC network activities in Metro Vancouver contribute not only to food procurement, but also to the practical development of pedagogical activities from different areas of knowledge and in different educational spaces.

PERSON-ORIENTED APPROACH TO FORMING SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH COMPETENCE OF FUTURE ENVIRONMENTALISTS

In the course of the research the theoretical and practical development of the problem of a person-oriented approach to the formation of research and development competence was analyzed. The research was conducted using a systemic synergistic approach, using general scientific methods of analysis, syn-thesis and comparison. The essence of the concepts of "person-oriented learning", " person-oriented approach" is revealed. Conditions and methods of organization of the educational process during the formation of the scientific and research competence from the standpoint of person-oriented approach are considered. It is determined that the use of developed information retrieval systems and computer tools in the educational process realizes the principles of scientific, professional orientation, practical significance and creates the necessary conditions for the implementation of an individual, differentiated person-oriented approach in the formation of research and development competence. An example of the application of a person-oriented approach in the formation of the research competence of future environmental specialists is provided with the help of the developed information-retrieval system of the purification equipment, which allows forming integrative knowledge from ecology and other branches of knowledge. The results of the research may form the basis for further scientific analysis - the development of theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of scientific research competence of future specialists-ecologists.
