The research is devoted to substantiation of measures for improvement of state financial policies and administrative decision-making aimed at enhancement of financial and credit provision of the grain market development.Realizing modernization of the grain market infrastructure requires substantial financial resources. Their mobilization under the modern conditions can be fulfilled exclusively by the state which is capable of leveraging the influence of public administration. The scientific results of the conducted research made it possible to give reasons for the measures, adequate in the current context, to improve financial policy and administrative decision-making designed to optimize the financial and credit provision of the grain market and stimulation of the socio-economic development of the country on the whole. The proposals are recommended for implementation of the monetary, budget, tax, investment, insurance policies; they are oriented to create institutions of development within the framework of application of the program-target method, and are characterized by a rational combination of the state impact and market self-regulation measures.Presently, a pressing need arises for provision of the agro-industrial complex with a sufficient amount of inexpensive credit resources. An important factor of this, with reference to monetary policy implementation, is interaction of the National bank of Ukraine with the government in the course of coordination of monetary tools application, in the first place, interest rates, volumes of target purposes of refinancing, and open-market transactions. One of the measures for stimulation of credit proposals for agricultural producers on behalf of the bank system was supposed to be creation of the State land bank. A significant development factor for the country’s grain market could also be establishment of the State development bank of Ukraine which would become an internal credit issuer and a financial agent of the state.Taking into account that rural investments are of social significance as well, it is necessary to invest both public and private funds. One of state investment policy components is encouragement of private investment growth. The flow of private investments into production, transport, storage, and processing infrastructure also affects the prospects of grain market development. Creating incentives for attraction of private investments can be realized through public-private partnership as one of the systems of interaction between the state and business most common in the economically advanced countries.The issue of raising the efficiency of financial resources allocated by the state for the support of agricultural producers is coming to the forefront. For this purpose, it is essential to carry on improvement of certain components of the insurance process in the agriculture of Ukraine.

: We investigate the global asymptotic stability of the difference equation of the form

ABSTRACT This paper is focused on the first and second level vulnerability assessment of Surf riding/Broaching and Pure Loss of Stability Criteria according to IMO second generation intact stability criteria. The calculations are performed for the semi-displacement twin-screw round-bilge hull form model D1 of the Systematic Series D. This model has hull form and service speed representative of corvettes built in 90-ties. The considered loading condition is obtained from Italian Navy ships statistics. Both criteria are analysed for different operational characteristics to evaluate the speed limits where the ship is not vulnerable. Model D1 is found to be vulnerable to both failure modes at service speed. Performing 2nd level of both criteria ‘safe’ speed is around 19 knots for surf-riding and around 15, 5 knots for pure loss. The obtained results are commented and compared against similar ships from the relevant state of the art papers.

Background: The femur is supplied princially by the diaphyseal nutrient artery which enters the bone throught the nutrient foramen. This supply is essential during the growing period, the early phases of ossification, and in different surgical procedures. The aim of present study was to examine the morphology and topography of the femur nutrient foramen to provide detalied data on such features.Methods: This was a cross-sectional-descriptive study in which we observed 50 femurs. We analysed the number and location of nutrient foramina, the length of the bone, the position of the nutrient foramen regarding to values of FI, correlation between number of nutrient foramen and length of femur, correlation between position of nutrient foramen and side of extremity to which femur belongs.Results: The double foramina were common in right (57.1%) and left (42.1%) femur, mostly located in medial lip of aspera line in right (64.3%) and on the lateral lip in left femur (68.4%), with statistically significant correlation, χ = 4.85; p = 0.03, p <0.05.  The foramina in left (89.5%) and right (96.4%) femur were commonly observed at their middle third, with no statistically significant correlation between position of foramen accordingly to Foraminal Index value and side of extremity on which femur belongs (p=0.56; p>0.05). There is positive correlation between length of right and left femur and number of foramina.Conclusions: The study provides data of the nutrient foramina on femur, which is helpful for clinicians to help preserve bone vascularization during surgery.

Abstract Built around the SMARDDA modules for magnetic field-line tracing [IEEE Tr. Plasma Sc. 42 (2014) 1932], the SMITER code package (SMARDDA for ITER) is a new graphical user interface (GUI) framework for power deposition mapping on tokamak plasma-facing components (PFC) in the full 3-D CAD geometry of the machine, taking as input a user-defined specification for parallel heat flux in the scrape-off layer (SOL) and a description of the equilibrium magnetic flux. The software package provides CAD model import and integration with the ITER Integrated Modelling and Analysis Suite (IMAS), parametric CAD components catalogue and modelling, CAD de-featuring for PFC surface extraction, meshing, visualization (using an integrated ParaView module), Python scripting and batch processing, storage in hierarchical data files, with several simulation cases in one study running in parallel and using message passing interface (MPI) for code speed-up. An integrated ParaView module can combine CAD geometry, magnetic field equilibrium, meshes and results for detailed setup analysis and a module is under development for full finite element computation of surface temperatures resulting from the power deposition patterns on 3-D PFCs. The code package has been developed for ITER, but can be deployed for similar modelling of any tokamak. This paper presents and discusses key features of this field-line tracing environment, demonstrates benchmarking against existing field-line tracing code and provides specific examples of power deposition mapping in ITER for different plasma configurations.
