Modelling Frontier Mortality Using Bayesian Generalised Additive Models

Mortality rates differ across countries and years, and the country with the lowest observed mortality has changed over time. However, the classic Science paper by Oeppen and Vaupel (2002) identified a persistent linear trend over time in maximum national life expectancy. In this article, we look to exploit similar regularities in age-specific mortality by considering for any given year a hypothetical mortality ‘frontier’, which we define as the lower limit of the force of mortality at each age across all countries. Change in this frontier reflects incremental advances across the wide range of social, institutional and scientific dimensions that influence mortality. We jointly estimate frontier mortality as well as mortality rates for individual countries. Generalised additive models are used to estimate a smooth set of baseline frontier mortality rates and mortality improvements, and country-level mortality is modelled as a set of smooth, positive deviations from this, forcing the mortality estimates for individual countries to lie above the frontier. This model is fitted to data for a selection of countries from the Human Mortality Database (2019). The efficacy of the model in forecasting over a ten-year horizon is compared to a similar model fitted to each country separately.

Theoretically and methodological providing of modern management

The right choice of the necessary business and management instru- ments, including the appropriate normative legal or theoretical and methodological basis, high levels of efficiency and coordination in management, knowledgeable leadership, particularly in the area of implementation a management decisions con- cerning, inter alia, sustainable exploitation of resources are factors that particu- larly important in the context of implementing the decentralization and public management reform, as well as sustainable development of our country. The current theory and management issues, the theoretical and methodological aspects of the administration have an influence on the two sides: first of all, on result and ef- fectiveness of the different sectors of economy; but, on the other hand, on the level of the social support for the different segments of the Ukrainian population. Under these circumstances, significant research into many aspects of theoretical and methodological foundation of modern management is necessary in an increas- ingly competitive environment conditions and the transformation of market relations. The article is devoted to the analysis of considerable theoretical and method- ological foundation of modern management as a primary way to inform and imple- mentation a management decisions at all management levels – national, regional, municipal and enterprise by which sustainable social and economic development of Ukraine is achieved. Comparison, methods of abstraction, analysis and generalization, graphic and tabular modeling are the research methods which were used in the article. In this science paper the concept of “modern management”, the theoretical and methodological basis, main features, basic principles and functions of the administration and impacts of the management decisions on social and economic development of Ukraine in the context of decentralization, reformation of public management and promoting the culture of managerialism are analyzed by authors. So, based on research, it was determined that the theoretical and methodological foundation of modern management can be improvement by building strong and accountable state institutions, preparation of quality executive decisions, forming professional civil service, launching e-governance, providing convenient services to general public. Key words: management, administration, theoretical basis of management, methodology of modern management, public management, management of enterprises, managerialism.

The importance of social business in the context of stable development of Ukraine's economy

Nowadays the most characteristic are intense and rapid globalization, European integration processes, international social and economic cooperation and, in addition, popularization of new ideas about democracy, professional honesty, social and environmental responsibility and governance in entrepreneurship. Taken together, these factors are complementary and can advance for sustainable development of Ukraine. In this context sustainable economic development is symbiosis of an effective commercial and social business. The achievement of the optimum balance between profit maximization of Ukrainians’ companies in a long run and meeting the population’s socio-economic needs, such as enhancement of the quality of life is now recognized as a major challenge for our country. This situation is particularly complicated by the case of permanent complex crises and unsuccessful reformation of national public government. The article is devoted to the analysis of considerable theoretical and practical significance of social business as a primary entrepreneurship by which sustainable economic development of Ukraine is achieved. Social business is essential to strengthen the social responsibility, social awareness and civil unity among the market participants. These issues have been outlined in this science paper by authors. Comparison, methods of abstraction, analysis and generalization, graphic and tabular modeling are the research methods which were used in the article. In this science paper the concept of “social business”, the main features, basic principles and functions of the social entrepreneurship and impacts of the social business sector on sustainable economic development of Ukraine are analyzed by authors. So, based on theoretical and methodological research, it was determined that sustainable development is our country’s strategic goal. In the meantime, social business development is one of the key vectors to achieve defined objective. Key words: Sustainable development goals of Ukraine, social business, social entrepreneurship, incentives for development of social business in Ukraine.

THE JUSTIFICATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES

This paper deals with the study of the justification of constitutional principles as a fundamental category of constitutional law. Legal principles are an important conception in the legal doctrine and the legal practice of democratic countries. Ukrainian legal doctrine studies legal principles in the two paradigms, namely fundamental principles and general principles. However, this approach does not result in the understanding of principles in constitutional law. That is why principles in constitutional law are an actual topic. The article aims to examine the fundamental concepts to find the justifications of constitutional principles. Hence, the author pays attention to the content of constitutional law and constitutionalism as principles-based categories. First, constitutional law is a fundamental part of the law in the legal system, and all the parts of the law are dependent on constitutional law. Second, the universal constitutional principles are the same for all legal systems. After all, constitutionalism doctrine consists of the limitation of power, and nowadays, this is expressed through the constitution and different constitution principles. The author uses comparative legal, phenomenological, and system-structural analysis as a valid methodology for this research. Finally, the research investigation contains the following conclusions that enable the author to prove the motivation of the science paper to study the outlined topic. First, constitutional law is the basis of the legal system, which embodies constitutional principles; constitutional law has the same effect on public law and private law. Second, constitutionalism is a source for finding constitutional principles. Third, the system of constitutional principles includes the following characteristics: universality and specificity. The system of constitutional principles is open and depends on the interpretation of constitutions. The paper aims to contribute to the growing research highlighting the current issues of constitutional principles. Keywords: principles, constitutional principles, constitutional law, constitutionalism, the system of constitutional principles.

Behavioral Medicine Methods in Treatment of Somatic Conditions

Background. The aim of this article is to present a short review of noninvasive, nonpharmacological treatment methods used in somatic illnesses that fall under the umbrella of approach called behavioral medicine. Methods. The narrative review method was applied in the study. Science paper databases, including PubMed, had been used to retrieve papers on therapeutic methods used in clinical setting that meet the broad criteria of behavioral medicine definition as stated in the Charter of International Behavioral Medicine Society Results. Main groups of methods, disorders in which they are being employed and their effectiveness, have been identified. Conclusions. Behavioral medicine is grouping treatment methods and interventions that hold large potential for clinical setting. Two groups of methods can be distinguished by the scrutiny and level of evidence gathered in their effectiveness assessment; for biofeedback, guided imagery, and hypnosis techniques, comprehensive evidence reports in the framework of U.S. Evidence Synthesis Program exist. Meditation techniques, disclosure therapies, and relaxation methods are less well assessed. Broader employment of behavioral medicine therapies in clinical setting is possible after addressing two major problems in the field, which are deficiencies in quality evidence of effectiveness for many of the methods and their insufficiencies in underlying therapeutic mechanism knowledge.
