Tiusanen, O. Ivanova, D. Podmetina 4 Foreword The Northern Dimension Research Centre (NORDI) is a research institute run by Lappeenranta University of technology (LUT). NORDI was established in the spring 2003 in order to co-ordinate research into Russia. NORDI’s mission is to conduct research into Russia and issues related to Russia’s relations with EU with the aim of providing up-to-date information on different fields of technology and economics. NORDI’s core research areas are Russian business and economy, energy and environment, the forest cluster, the ICT sector, as well as logistics and transport infrastructure. The most outstanding characteristic of NORDI’s research activities is the way in which it integrates technology and economics. LUT has a long research tradition in making research and educating students in the field of communist and post-communist economies. From the point of view of these studies, LUT is ideally located in the Eastern part of Finland near the border between EU and Russia. This volume “EU’s New Neighbours: The Case of Ukraine” tells about Ukraine – one of the largest European countries, but surprisingly unknown for many Europeans. Authors aim to provide readers with overview of Ukrainian economy and politics and discuss investment climate in Ukraine, Ukrainian regions and investments in the different Ukrainian industries. The authors would like to express their gratitude the EU’s Interreg IIIA programme and the cities of Lappeenranta, Imatra and Joutseno and the Ministry of Education in Finland for their financial support towards NORDI. We also give our sincere thanks to our colleagues in Lappeenranta University of Technology: to Riitta Salminen for proof-reading of the book; to Professor Juha Väätänen and to NORDI’s coordinator Maija Toivonen for valuable comments, editing and support; to Natalia Dobrovolskaya and Antonio Saluena from Information Technology Department for technical assistance and comments, to Daria Palitsyna for help with proof-reading and editing. We also are thankful to Ukrainian specialists Alexander Marchenko and Artem Poddubny for help with collecting materials, creative ideas, comments and editing.

Introduction The communist system of central planning collapsed in Europe in two waves. In 1989, the former Eastern bloc countries abandoned the undemocratic form of society in a peaceful manner. Two years later, the former Soviet Union comprising 15 republics, dissolved itself. This former superpower with 288 million inhabitants was divided in 15 independent states. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new edifice, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), was created. Twelve former Soviet republics joined the CIS, which is a loose organisation with no supranational powers. Occasionally, CIS is called the former Soviet Union. This is not correct. Three former Soviet republics, the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) never joined the CIS. In the Soviet era, it was usual to point out that the Union had two big republics, Russia (with over 150 million inhabitants) and Ukraine (with more than 50 million citizens). In the post- Soviet period, Ukraine has hardly been in headlines in the financial press. There are several reasons for this fact. Ukraine has not been involved in the Eastern enlargement of EU. Even if Ukraine is rather big and resourceful country in European comparison, it is not a net exporter of energy bearers, like oil and natural gas.

    — !!!cifra_MNJ_№5_(tom16)_2020 01.07. Белоусова 07.07.Евдокимова ОРИГІНАЛЬНІ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ /ORIGINAL RESEARCHES/ UDC 616.858-036.22 DOI: 10.22141/2224-0713.16.5.2020.209248 I.V. Hubetova Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital, Odesa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odesa, Ukraine Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease in the Southern Ukraine Abstract. Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the formation of Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. The prevalence of PD ranges from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000 population. However, in the Ukrainian reality, many cases of the disease remain undiagnosed, which affects the statistical indicators of incidence and prevalence. The purpose of the study is to compare PD epidemiological indices in the Southern Ukraine with all-Ukrainian rates. Material and methods. Statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public health departments of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for 2015–2017 were analyzed. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results. Average prevalence of PD in Ukraine is 67.5 per 100,000 population — it is close to the Eastern European rate. The highest prevalence was registered in Lviv (142.5 per 100,000), Vinnytsia (135.9 per 100,000), Cherkasy (108.6 per 100,000) and Kyiv (107.1 per 100,000) regions. The lowest rates were in Luhansk (37.9 per 100,000), Kyrovohrad (42.5 per 100,000), Chernivtsi (49.0 per 100,000) and Ternopil (49.6 per 100,000) regions. In the Southern Ukraine, the highest prevalence of PD was found in Mykolaiv region.

ABSTRACT: Northwest Russia and particularly St. Petersburg were a globally im- portant development center for information and communication technologies (ICT) during 1850-1950. The region’s position of strength deteriorated after this period as a consequence of the choices made about technology and Soviet secrecy. However, the region and its ICT industries still enjoy the benefits of education provision, the re- search-oriented tradition and inherited human and industrial capital. The transition to the market economy opened up many opportunities but also resulted in the evapora- tion of uncompetitive producers like giant electronics manufacturers. It also reduced financing and changed the priorities for R&D and education. At the same time, breakthroughs in telecom technologies and the overwhelming success of mobile communications greatly influenced the ICT industries in Russia. Understanding the major changes and trends is crucial for industrial policy and business strategy deci- sion makers. In this study, we identify the Northwest Russian ICT cluster and the key matters related to its competitiveness and growth prospects in the new environment.

  • Coastal Zone Dynamics - As a Result of Changes at the Border of Three Environments
    EGU21-5194 https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu21-5194 EGU General Assembly 2021 © Author(s) 2021. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Coastal zone dynamics - as a result of changes at the border of three environments Oleksii Batyrev, Olga Andrianova, Radomir Belevich, and Michael Skipa Hydroacoustic Branch of Institute of Geophysics of NAS of Ukraine Coastal zone research is becoming increasingly important because the impact of climate change is most significant here. The state of coastal regions is determined by the variability in three contact media (geological, water, and air). Evaluation of level changes on the coasts of various parts of the World Ocean (the Mediterranean, Black, Baltic and North Seas, and the Atlantic coasts in Brazil and France) over a long period of time shows various fluctuations with an upward trend in recent decades. To highlight the factors that determine the seashores' level fluctuations, three contact media parameters were considered on the example of the western part of the Black Sea. Calculations, analysis, and comparison of trends in the variability of hydrometeorological characteristics (air and water temperatures, precipitation, and river discharge) and sea level over a period of more than 100 years have been carried out. To assess the intensity of fluctuations of the coastal land along the western coast of the Black Sea, the series of level heights were considered at 6 Ukrainian stations: Vylkove, Chornomorsk (Ilyichevsk), Odesa-port, port Yuzhne, Ochakiv and Sevastopol (partially used as a benchmark), at 2 stations on the Romanian coast: Constanta and Sulina, and 2 stations on the Bulgarian coast: Burgas and Varna.

(Geology), Professor, Head of Ecology and Environmental Protection Department Odessa State Environmental University UKRAINE In [1] we demonstrated the relevance of the issue of marine pollution of the North-Western part of the Black Sea by Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), in particular – produced unintentionally. А significant contribution to marine pollution is made by the Odessa Industrial-And-Urban Agglomeration (IUA). Today the Odessa IUA is the largest agglomeration located on the Black Sea coast and includes Odessa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhne, Teplodar and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. One of the main sources of input of POPs in the marine environment is the sewage waters discharge, so we considered the input of these substances into the marine environment with the sewage waters discharge by Odessa IUA. Sewage waters discharge, which are formed in the household sector and at industrial facilities, is treated at the city sewerage system. According to [2], sewage waters – untreated and treated at active sludge plant, are a source of constant input of unintentionally produced POPs in the environment. In all cities of the Odessa IUA, waste waters are treated at active sludge plant. During the sewage water treatment at the active sludge plant, the formation of new POPs does not occur, but the existing POPs are redistributed between the sewage waters and waste activated sludge.
