Kherson Region - the Territory of Energy Efficient Technologies Kherson region - the territory of energy efficient technologies. Kherson region is situated in southern Ukraine and characterized by mild and dry winters and hot dry summers, has a flat terrain favorable for building wind farms and solar power plants of any size. The presence benefits of the Kherson region, namely: - Paying in all state bodies due attention to the issue of creating the most comfortable business environment and a favorable climate for investment, - The lack of a large number of power plants renewable energy, which leads to the possibility of technically relatively simple and therefore cheap issuing power grid in Ukraine, - The ability to quickly increase the capacity of these stations by free land areas, - Region, based on the intensity of annual solar radiation, wind factors is one of the most attractive in the Ukraine, which allows the region to introduce to alternative projects. Interbranch Scientific and Technical Center Institute of wind Renewable Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine conducted a series of studies in the region about the availability of potential renewable energy sources. According to the Center in its "sunny" potential Kherson region occupies one of the top positions in the country. The number of sunny days in a year reaches 240, or 65%. Average solar radiation in the region of 1.35 - 1.45 MW / sq. m per year. Share of the Kherson region that has high wind energy potential is - 10%. According to the research in the region is possible to build wind farms with a total installed capacity of 4.4 thousand MW. These long-term meteorological observations show that wind-creating factors in the Kherson region is stable and it is a positive precondition for the construction of wind power plants. The region also ranks first in the country for other potential renewable energy sources. So technically achievable annual potential of geothermal energy in Kherson region is 866 Tons of conditional fuel per year. The region is a major agro-industrial region in consequence of which the region annually collects a large amount of waste crops. Annual technically achievable potential of biomass Kherson region is 810 ths. Tons of fuel per year. Overall annual potential of renewable energy region is 5.2 million Tons of conditional fuel per year in the region total consumption of fuel and energy in an average year – 3.7 million tons of conditional fuel, wind energy - 7.7 billion kilowatt hours / year. In the region are 19 rivers, through the use of energy which may produce approximately 1.5 million kilowatt hours / year. The presence of such a "powerful" alternative potential has allowed the region to implement several alternative projects. So today in the already built and operating wind power capacity 4 plants and 2 solar power plants, which made for 2015 - 145.74 million. KWh of electricity. Overall, 2020 is expected to bring the volume and share of electricity produced from renewable sources to 23%. Kherson region has the potential of renewable energy sources that can provide up to 50% of total energy consumption. To develop this potential in the region available reserve land that can be used for investment projects - 51.4 thousand, including 52 plots for construction of alternative energy area - 991 hectares. These sites are located in 11 regions of Kherson. Ukraine has had quite a favorable legal environment for the development of alternative energy. So has relatively large "green" tariff, guaranteed by the state to January 1, 2030. The state ensures that the entire amount of electricity generated from renewable sources will be redeemed by the "green" tariff. In this case payments for electricity held primarily to those producers who use alternative (renewable) energy sources. Bid "green" tariff: - For solar plants for industrial use, built in 2016 - 0.16 euro per kWh; built in 2017-2019 years - 0.15 euros per kWh, - For wind farms - 10.2 euros per kWh, - Hydropower, 17.5, 14.0 and 10.5 euros per kWh for micro, mini and small hydro respectively) - Geothermal energy: 15.0 euros per kWh. 2. Cancelled mandatory requirement for "local content" in the construction of solar power plants. 3. Installed surcharge to "green" tariff when using the "local content" of 5% or 10% in the case of the project 30% or 50% of Ukrainian components, respectively. 4. "Green" tariff is now tied to the exchange rate EUR / UAH for both industrial and private solar power. Kherson region is a major agro-industrial region in consequence of which the region annually collects a large amount of waste crops. - Straw of cereals - 165 ths. Tons per year - Husk oil crops - 20 ths. Tons per year - Waste crops - 22 ths. Tons per year Forest enterprises in the field of sanitary and fire on forest clearing accumulated significant amounts of firewood, which today unfortunately burned. Thus, given that the region supplied with gas by 25 percent, promising area of renewable energy is to create factories to produce fuel pellets / granules as well. Today, the largest generating companies in the Kherson region is Kakhovska Power Plant, which is part of the cascade of Dnieper HPP JSC "UHE" is the 6th and last stage of the Dnipro cascade and has the smallest installed capacity - 334 MW. Kakhovka HPP in operation since 1955, when it was launched on the 1st unit. The last, 6th was commissioned in 1956. By 2015 Kakhovka hydroelectric electricity produced 654.8 million. KW hours. Today has implemented a project to increase installed capacity of HPP Kakhovka to 500-550 MW through the construction of buildings Kakhovka HPP-2 in the body Kakhovska earthen dam. This will increase the capacity of CHP plants, which will additionally use idle discharges to produce 70-80 million kW / h of electricity. The question of the proper treatment of waste is one of the priorities of regional policy aimed at protecting the environment and human health from the negative impact of waste. Kherson area declared environmental cleanliness and order, and it requires to ensure proper sanitary maintenance subordinate territories. The benefits of investing in the construction of waste treatment plants in the region: - High profitability of projects - Availability plots ready for construction, - Co-financing the construction of local budgets - Availability of collection and transportation of solid waste, transportation, personnel, production facilities, - The possibility of recycling waste from surrounding areas, - Environmental feasibility recycling - The high social significance of projects. The results of the work of Kherson region is divided into 6 zones which identified promising land for the construction of waste treatment plants. And area - m. Kherson, Belozerskii, Oleshkivski areas, area - 25 ha. Population - 473.6 thousand. People savings - 806.3 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. Zone II - m. Naked Pier, Skadovsky, Golopristansky, Kalanchak areas, area - 7.2 hectares. Population - 131.6 thousand. People savings - 109.1 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. Zone III - m. Kakhovka city. New Kakhovka, Kakhovka, Chaplinka areas, area - 10 ha. Population - 176.9 thousand. People savings - 225.1 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. IV zone - Novotroitsky, Ivanovo, Genichesk district, area - 7.1 hectares. Population - 110.6 thousand. People savings - 116.5 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. V zone - Velykolepetynskyy, Verkhniy, Hornostayivka, Nyzhni areas, area - 5.1 hectares. Population - 66.5 thousand. Man, accumulation - 69.7 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. VI zone - Borislav, Velykooleksandrivka, Vysokopolskoye, Novovorontsovka areas, area - 3.4 hectares. Population - 113.2 thousand. People savings - 118.7 thousand. Cubic meters of waste per year. The presence of such a "powerful" alternative potential government interest in the implementation of alternative energy projects, the creation of her most comfortable business environment, assisting in the implementation of these projects will allow investors to implement in the territory of the region powerful energy projects. The head of Kherson regional state administration supports the introduction of pure production and low-carbon technology in the region and promised to its support in this direction. Come to a Kherson we are open for cooperation. .

  • Land Auctions
    Dear friends, Today the autonomy has good prospects for investments, a priority region for the economic development of our country. It may and must turn from a subsidized region into a profitable one. This is our key target. Our Crimean strategy of social and economic renewal and development is based on it. No doubt that the Crimea will become a pearl of Ukraine, will be able to successfully implement the whole resort and tourist, agricultural, transport, industrial and certainly land potential. This and other similar publications of the Crimean government popularize the issues of improving business climate in the autonomy, activating investment activities in the region and transparent sales of land in the Crimea. For us holding open auctions is not merely the establishment of clear and understandable rules for doing investing business but also direct replenishment of the republican budget. At the same time this transparent method of selling land will put an end to the illegal schemes of enriching and will enable to use the land – a most valuable Crimean resource – for the benefit of the budget and all the Crimean citizens. I am convinced that this catalogue will become a reference book for a domestic and foreign investor and businessman.

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.

  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.

But it is less known that simultaneously with it, approximately at the end of the 9th century, also in Armenia, a “minor” type of mural khachkars has been elaborated2. The stone plates belonging to this second category also show the image of a cross, but they have smaller dimensions, and are intended to be inserted in the façades of churches or civil buildings. Sometimes they are deprived of inscriptions, therefore their only message is the glorification of the cross, represented, as always in Armenian art, as a tree of life. More often, inscriptions carved on them add a votive or commemorative content, which can be linked to a donation. In Armenia, this “minor” type remains relatively “secondary” compared to the huge number of monumental khachkars, and their very impressive “presence” in Armenia’s landscapes.
