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.

An integrated approach is made use of in the research which is based Quality assessment on the case study of the Odessa industrial-and-urban agglomeration (IUA). Natural environmental status Quality assessment of the natural components of the Odessa IUA environment by means of Pollution level integrated indices of the natural environmental status and the natural component quality re- Landscape conditions vealed that the studied urban ecosystem is impersistent on the whole, however, the environ- mental quality is quite favorable and the technogenic load is low. The environmental reliability of the studied area was classified as low. Prospects for development of Odessa Agglomeration, despite the complicated environmental situation, are quite favorable, due to the advantageous economic and geographical location, and the well-developed research, technical and recreational potential. Application of the structural analysis approach to definition of the adaptation strategy for the area makes it possible to suggest the ways for optimization of the natural environment component in the Odessa IUA. The assessment criteria for the area under study and the suggested adaptive governance tools constitute the research outcomes. 1.

  • Evaluating Performance and Development Priorities of Port Industry in Ukraine
    MATEC Web of Conferences 339, 01013 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/202133901013 ISTSML 2021 Evaluating performance and development priorities of port industry in Ukraine Natalia Mihai1*, Larysa Hryshyna1, Irina Khmarska1, Elena Pogoryelova1, and Nataliia Hryshyna1 1Admiral Makarov National University оf Shipbuilding, Prospekt Heroyiv Ukrayiny, 9, 54025, Mykolayiv, Ukraine Abstract. In this publication authors have evaluated seaports performance in Ukraine as part of transport infrastructure. It is highlighted that in modern conditions development of seaports as multifunctional entities capable of performing intermodal transportation, has a strategic impact on the country and might increase its competitiveness at international level. Peculiarities of port industry development in modern economic conditions and main problematic issues are defined, among which: low congestion of port facilities; irregular mechanism of public-private partnership; loss of transit flows by seaports; low level of digitalization in the area of transport and logistics activities; insufficient level of technical, technological and environmental safety in seaports. Strategic priorities of port industry development are substantiated, considering foreign experience and modern requirements of the world community. 1 Introduction Current stage of port industry operating in Ukraine, being a part of transport infrastructure, is characterized by insufficient development, reduced competitive position and profitability due to significant depreciation of fixed assets, as well as underdeveloped port infrastructure. Effective seaports performance depends on effective management system, implementing modern technologies and equipment capable of ensuring Ukraine’s competitive advantages in the world market. In the context of country’s integration into the world community, port industry plays the key role, because seaports are the link that might accelerate economic development.

  • Ukraine Grain Transportation
    United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Agricultural Marketing Service Ukraine Grain Transportation Published March 17, 2020 USDA is publishing the Ukraine Grain Transportation to provide an indicator report to evaluate the Black Sea Region’s Grain Transportation.Initial interest came from a September 2018 meeting of the BNSF Agriculture Rail Business Council (ARB)1, in which grain producers requested that USDA assess U.S. grain transportation cost competitiveness, especially for wheat and corn. Interest levels during a session on this topic at USDA’s 2020 Agricultural Outlook Forum confirmed that this report will likely be useful to U.S. grain producers. Why are U.S. grain producers interested in this region? The Black Sea region–Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine–is a strong player in the global wheat market. Black Sea wheat successfully competes on the basis of lower prices, favorable exchange rates, and the region’s advantageous location (FAS, Grain: World Market and Trade January 2018). Ports on the Black Sea have easy access to the rapidly growing markets in the Middle East and North Africa where wheat and feed demand has grown. The U.S. share of the global wheat market has been declining as the European Union (EU) and Russia have risen in prominence. Globally, wheat is mainly used for human consumption. But Ukraine exports wheat both for milling and feed. Russia is the top wheat exporter, followed by the EU, United States, Canada, Ukraine, Australia, and Argentina. In the corn market, the United States is still the leading exporter, but faces strong competition from Brazil, Argentina, and Ukraine.
