Modern theoretical-methodological and economic-legal problems of implementing the concept of sustainable development of tourism and recreation in Ukraine by Ion Dubovich, Alla Anishchenko, Nadia Yurkiv, Yuliia Volkovska, Rostyslav Matsko, Oleh Rozhkovych, Mariana-Nadiia Dubovich, Oksana Pylypiak

“…It is emphasized that the main problems that are currently hindering the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of tourism and recreation in Ukraine today are, first of all, the fact that hundreds of hectares of the territory of Ukraine are mined, the territories are contaminated with ammunition, large areas of the forest fund have been destroyed, the infrastructure has been destroyed, etc.It is noted that the Methodology for determining damage and losses, approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, takes into account only a part of economic losses, while other significant losses that directly relate to the tourism and recreation industry (loss of life and health of the population of Ukraine, separation Ukrainian families, destroyed living conditions of Ukrainian citizens, damaged or destroyed residential buildings, moral, aesthetic and many other damages) are not taken into account.It is substantiated that for an objective assessment of damage and the amount of damage, it is also necessary to take into account environmental damage and destroyed natural resources, including mined and polluted hundreds of hectares of the territory of Ukraine, etc. …”

Urban monitoring, evaluation and application of COVID-19 listed vaccine effectiveness: a health code blockchain study by Tao Wang, Hongyan Li, Chaoqun Li, Zheheng Li

“…This study uses this system and statistical simulation to analyse three urban application scenarios, namely evaluating the vaccination rate (VR) and determining the optimal vaccination strategy, evaluating herd immunity and monitoring the VE on variant.Main outcome measures The primary outcomes first establish an urban COVID-19 listed VE monitoring, evaluation and application system by using the health code blockchain, combined with the dynamic monitoring model of VE, the evaluation index system of VE and the monitoring and evaluation system of personal privacy information use, and then three measures are analysed in urban simulation: one is to take the index reflecting urban population mobility as the weight to calculate the comprehensive VR, the second is to calculate the comprehensive basic reproduction number (R) in the presence of asymptomatic persons, the third is to compare the difference between the observed effectiveness and the true effectiveness of listed vaccines under virus variation.Results Combining this system and simulation, this study finds: (1) The comprehensive VR, which is weighted to reflect urban population mobility, is more accurate than the simple VR which does not take into account urban population mobility. …”
