Application of Aminopolycarboxylic Complexes of V(IV) in Catalytic Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry of Germanium

In the review, voltammetric analytical procedures that employ vanadium(IV) and aminopolycarboxylic complexes of V(IV) are presented and discussed. The focus of the paper is on the mechanism of vanadium-catalyzed reactions responsible for the amplification of the analytical signal of Ge(IV). The analytical efficacy of different catalytic systems is compared, and the optimal parameters of the respective procedures are reported.

Evaluation of some heavy metals bio-accumulation in meat and haemolymph of african landsnail (Archachatina Marginata Swainson)

The impact of captive rearing of snails (Archachatina marginata) on the bio-accumulation of some heavy metals (HMs) (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr) in the meat and haemolymph was evaluated in a two treatment trial (snails from the wild, (SW) and captive reared snails, (SC), each comprised of sixty snails of three replicates. Alldata collected (using standard analytical procedures) were subjected to ANOVA and significant means separated by Duncan Multiple Range Test. The trial revealed that the meat of SC had outstanding (P>0.05) Fe (22.30mg/kg) and Mn(4.79mg/kg), with no significant variation for DM, while the haemolymph recorded non-significant (P< 0.05) concentration for (Mn, Pb, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr). Its levels of Fe (3.50mg/kg) and Cu (2.06mg/kg) were however significantly (P>0.05) impacted by captive rearing. Generally the level of Cr in the meat and haemolymph were higher than 0.05mg/kg recommendation by WHO, hence snail meat and haemolymph must be consumed with caution and guidance.

The Effect of Auditors' Use of Analytical Procedures in the Light of ISA 520 on Audit Quality: Evidence from Jordan

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of auditors' use of analytical procedures in the light of audit standard 520 (ISA 520) on the audit quality from the point of view of external auditors in Jordan. Moreover, the study sought to make valuable recommendations to develop audit methods and address weaknesses to take advantage of financial analysis methods. To achieve the objectives of the study, questionnaire was developed included (35) questions distributed to a sample of auditors practitioners of the audit profession and numbered (64) auditors, have been recovered, (60) of them were collected, and all of them, were used in analysis; One sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses of the study. the researcher found: There is a statistically significant impact of auditors' use of analytical procedures on the quality of audit for both: the auditor 's use of financial ratios and the comparing financial ratios and extracted information with predetermined standards (financial analysis standards), also there are no statistically significant differences on the impact of auditors' use of analytical procedures on the quality of audit attributable to personal variables (educational qualification, specialization, duration of service). Finally, researchers Finally, the researcher made some recommendations to develop the audit process, the most important of them: The supervisory authorities shall ensure that Audit offices and auditors should comply with international auditing standards in general and in the field of analytical procedures based on the International Auditing Standard (520), as well as Standard No. (220) on Quality Auditing in particular. and professional standards and meet the wishes of users of financial statements to achieve quality control and be subject to peer review.

On applying the methods of economic analysis in financial control of public medical institutions

Subject. The article addresses the economic analysis as a separate field of science and practice. During its development, it has been updated for new subjects, objects, areas, interests, thereby expanding the directions of its application. Objectives. The aim of the study is to apply the methods of economic analysis in the implementation of financial control measures in relation to public medical organizations. Methods. The study rests on a bibliographic study of current scientific and periodical economic literature. We also apply methods of scientific cognition, like dialectical method, analysis and synthesis, detailing, observation, generalization, comparison, classification, etc. Results. The paper states the interdisciplinarity of economic analysis and control. Analytical procedures belong both to control measures and to analytical work in general. Methods of economic analysis are the tools of financial control. Conclusions. Analytical procedures are specific actions of the controller that are based on methods of economic analysis, with the help of which the objectives of control measures will be achieved.

A Synthesis of Social and Economic Benefits Linked to Green Infrastructure

Green infrastructure (GI) is a land development approach that uses a network of natural and built areas and waterways to create healthier urban environments. This study presents a synthesis of GI planning and adoption in 16 cities selected from around the world; 12 of these cities are located in the United States. The study highlights key socio-economic benefits associated with GI adoption and documents analytical procedures used to quantify the benefits linked to GI implementation. The benefits as identified and reported in this study are qualitative rather than quantitative.

Review of the monograph “O. Yu. Dyagel. Analytical procedures of anticrisis management: monograph. Krasnoyarsk: Sibirial Federal University, 2020. 268 p.”.

Objective: to conduct a detailed and complete analysis of a monograph by O. Yu. Dyagel2, which is devoted to the study of a wide range of issues related to analytical procedures of crisis management.Methods: the basic techniques of the abstract-logical method were used (analysis and synthesis, analogy, generalization, comparison, transition from abstract to concrete, etc.).Results: the leading line of this work is the differentiation of analytical procedures for crisis management, which implies a further standardization of individual diagnostics of enterprises’ financial condition. The reviewers emphasize the importance of the approaches to diagnosing the enterprises’ financial insolvency, systematized in the monograph.The reviewers assess the grouping of the author's approaches in the implementation of analytical procedures for crisis management, starting with preventive crisis management and ending with arbitration management.Scientific novelty: a new promising direction of financial analysis has been identified: standardization of an individual financial analysis based on specific groups of financial indicators suitable for a specific enterprise and its situation.Practical significance: the reviewers concluded that O. Yu. Dyagel’s monographic study contains examples of the practical application of the theoretical, methodological and regulatory approaches studied by the author, which significantly increases the possibility of their application in practice.

Seismic resilience for recovery investments of bridges methodology

Bridges are fundamental links for the movement of goods and people and bridge damage can thus have significant impacts on society and the economy. Earthquakes can be extremely destructive and can compromise bridge functionality, which is essential for communities. Evaluation of bridge functionality is thus fundamental in the planning of emergency responses and socioeconomic recovery procedures. It is especially useful to define parameters to assess investments in bridge infrastructure. Resilience is a key parameter that can identify decision making procedures necessary for recovery investments. In this regard, resilience can be defined as the rapidity of a system to return to pre-disaster levels of functionality. This aim of this work was to assess the lack of robust analytical procedures for quantifying systematic restoration for earthquake-damaged bridges, to provide a link between the assessment of resilience and its application in decision making approaches. The proposed methodology (called seismic resilience for recovery investments of bridges) uses functionality–time curves that allow quantification of resilience along with readable findings for a wider range of stakeholders. The results presented in this paper should be of interest to multi-sectorial actors (i.e. bridge owners, transportation authorities and public administrators) and could drive interdisciplinary applications such as the assessment of recovery techniques and solutions.
