ПРОЕКЦІЇ РЕЖИМУ ОПАДІВ ДЛЯ ТЕРИТОРІЇ УКРАЇНИ В НАЙБЛИЖЧЕ ТРИДЦЯТИРІЧЧЯ

This study presents possible changes in the number of days per year with precipitation ≥ 1 mm for the territory of Ukraine in relation to the period 1961-1990, based on data from an ensemble of CORDEX models created to study the global climate based on an assessment of climate trends at the regional level. In the article, calculations were performed using one of the four possible scenarios for emissions and concentrations of greenhouse gases, which serve as the basis for modern scientific research on future climate projections, namely RCP4.5. This trajectory predicts a steady increase in radioactive forcing compared to the pre-industrial era and a peak in greenhouse gas emissions in 2030-50. For the calculation, the indicators of 177 meteorological stations of our country and 16 simulations of the above project were used. To assess climate change, climate indicators are usually used, such as average annual, seasonal and monthly average values of climatic elements (air temperature, wind direction and speed, precipitation, etc.). However, at the beginning of this century, in order to supplement traditional climatic indicators, scientists developed a system of quantitative indicators for monitoring, analyzing and evaluating changes in extreme climatic indicators, based on daily averages of meteorological observations, called “extremity indices”. The study is based on the calculation of one of the above-mentioned indices, namely the climate index RR1 – the number of “wet days”, that is, the number of days with a daily precipitation of more than 1 mm. The article analyzes the typical precipitation regime for Ukraine and its predicted changes, taking into account regional characteristics. The study revealed a tendency to increase the number of wet days per year from 10 cases in the south-west of the country to 50 on the slopes of the Ukrainian Carpathians and a change in the localization of the driest region from Kherson to Odessa region. There is also an increase in the minimum and maximum values of the number of days with precipitation (by 14 and 8 cases, respectively). From the foregoing, we can assume a change in the nature of moisture supply in the next thirty years for the whole of Ukraine. An increase in the number of days with precipitation is expected throughout the study area, especially in the north and west, and a change in the location of the most arid regions.

ОЦЕНКА ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ СЕЛЬСКОГО ХОЗЯЙСТВА КАК ОСНОВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, РАЗМЕЩЕНИЯ И УГЛУБЛЕНИЯ СПЕЦИАЛИЗАЦИИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННОЙ ПРОДУКЦИИ

The article discusses the dynamics of the transformation of the spatial structure of the location of agricultural production over the period from the beginning of market transformations in the 90s to 2021, and analyzes changes in regional food production over this period. The process of concentration of the main group of regions of the country, which form the basis of the food base of Russia, is revealed. It is concluded that land-intensive industries are shifting and concentrating in areas with available natural and labor resources. On the basis of the analysis carried out, the degree of uniformity in the distribution of crop and livestock production in the context of federal districts was revealed. The results obtained can be used in the development of an agricultural development strategy, taking into account regional characteristics, and in determining the target indicators for the development of agriculture. Solving the problem of the spatial development of agriculture is associated with an integrated approach to the implementation of such fundamental principles as: achieving the country's food security; ensuring the most complete and efficient use of bioclimatic and production potentials, the maximum approximation of the production of one or another type of agricultural product to areas and regions that have, first of all, the most favorable natural conditions; priority of national interests over regional economic interests; a differentiated approach to the main directions and measures of state support for the spatial development of agriculture and rural areas; complex solution of issues of territorial organization of agriculture. Significant regional differences in agriculture and its individual sub-sectors preclude a unified approach to their spatial organization. At the same time, special attention should be paid to such regions as: a few regions with relatively favorable natural and economic conditions for intensive and competitive agriculture; priority and border geostrategic territories; separate depressive and sparsely populated territories, primarily the Non-Chernozem zone; numerous regions of the Far North and terrain equated to them; labor-surplus and densely populated national republics of the North Caucasus. Since in the future the differentiation of regions in the production of certain types of agricultural products will increase to a greater extent than the tendency towards their self-sufficiency, the state should play a key role here.

МЕТОДЫ ОЦЕНКИ ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ ИННОВАЦИОННОЙ СИСТЕМЫ РЕГИОНА

In the modern world, innovations act as the main driver in all spheres of human life. It is innovations in conditions of limited resources and in an intensive type of economic development that become the driving force of economic and social development. Today, in economies oriented towards an innovative development path, the efficiency of the functioning of business entities is determined by their ability to implement progressive changes based on the achievements of scientific and technological progress. In this regard, the problem of the efficient use of scientific and intellectual capital, the expansion of conditions for the use of new technologies and the widespread use of innovations becomes relevant. In this regard, this article analyzes the existing methods for assessing the effectiveness of the innovation systems of the region. Approaches to the interpretation of efficiency, the definition of its types and criteria based on many features that synthesize various aspects of social relations have been studied. The effectiveness of various socio-economic systems based on the modification of qualitative determinants of development and methods for determining economic efficiency are analyzed. An approach is presented to determine it in the conditions of modern economic relations, taking into account regional characteristics. The main directions of efficiency are studied: scientific, social, economic, informational, ecological. A toolkit for determining the economic efficiency of regions is presented, which makes it possible to more objectively assess the degree of economic investment, which makes it possible to determine the strategy of the economic policy pursued at the regional level. In modern conditions, it is obvious that innovations require investments, and in most cases not small ones that need to be implemented now, and the effect may not be reflected in the very near future. For this, it is necessary to manage innovation activity, to know its effectiveness. With the successful management of such activities, it is possible to adjust and increase its effectiveness. Taking into account the foregoing, this article presents methods for determining the effectiveness of innovative systems in the region

CLUSTERING OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

The cluster model is an effective tool for ensuring the effective development of national economies and the transformation of the innovative ecosystems of European countries. This is determined by the goals of the cluster approach. In most European countries, cluster structures are recognized as the most effective means of implementing regional policies that promote balanced sustainable development of regions based on the use of local conditions, resources and competitive advantages. World practice testifies to the intensification of the processes of formation of cluster associations of organizations in recent decades. Currently, about 50% of the economies of developed countries are covered by the processes of creation and functioning of clusters. The purpose of the article is the analysis and synthesis of the European experience in the development of cluster structures to develop recommendations for the possible use of clustering the national economy as an effective tool for sustainable development of European countries in Ukraine. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the provisions of institutional theory, in particular the paradigm of evolutionary development, clustering theory, the concept of strategic and logistical management, enterprise development management. In the process of research the following general scientific methods were used: analysis and synthesis (for the analysis of scientific schools of development of cluster theories, generalization of existing theoretical approaches and provisions, scientific developments on the problems of managing the development of cluster structures, clarification of terminological apparatus); classification and systematic approach (to systematize the conceptual approaches to defining the concepts of "cluster", "clustering", to identify industry-specific development of cluster structures in Europe); comparison and structural-logical generalization (to determine the features of the European practice of clusters and the possibility of its use in Ukraine). Results. The study revealed the sectoral focus of cluster structures in European countries. The features of the implementation of cluster policy and the key objectives of support for the development of cluster structures in a number of EU countries were identified. It is proved that the clusterization of the national economy, cluster policies and initiatives in the last decade have become important elements of strategies and concepts of innovative and sustainable development of European countries. Based on the analysis and synthesis of sectoral trends in the creation of cluster structures in European countries, it was found that the national characteristics of existing cluster policy determine the direction of cluster initiatives; strategic cluster alternatives are determined by national characteristics and the adopted cluster concept; to assess the feasibility of the cluster strategy of development of the territory it is necessary to correlate the level of investment potential and investment activity; methodological principles of formation of a national cluster strategy need to be refined and clarified, taking into account the current challenges. Practical implications. On the basis of summarizing the best European experience, it was found that to increase the competitiveness of the national and regional economy it is necessary to create cluster structures as effective forms of partnership. But as a result of the study, it was found that the current legislation of Ukraine does not pay proper attention to the formation and functioning of clusters. This requires changes and additions to the Concept of creating clusters in Ukraine, the Regional Development Strategy until 2027 and action plans for their implementation in 2021-2023 years to create cluster structures as a business entity. It is advisable to develop and approve the Concept of cluster policy and the Target Program "The formation and development of cluster formations in the regions of Ukraine for 2021-2023 years", which should provide for the creation of clusters as a special type of associations of enterprises in different fields of activity and taking into account regional characteristics. Value/originality. The author's approach to improving the regulatory support for the development of cluster associations in Ukraine, taking into account the best European practices was formulated.

DEVELOPER ROLES IN THE SPEECH CORPUS FOR PRONUNCIATION VARIATION OF RUSSIAN SPEAKERS

he article describes the user roles in the speech corpus for studying pronunciation variability of native speakers in the Russian language. The need for systems of speech recognition of speakers with dialects and disabilities is stated. It is emphasized the need to study the pronunciation variability of pronunciation by different speakers, taking into account regional and individual speech characteristics. Subsequent creating a speech corpus as the basis for regional and individual speech recognition is discussed. The speech corpus being developed contains recordings of the same text fragments by different speakers. The system of audio speech markup for researching the pronunciation variability of native Russian speakers is described. The roles of administrator, moderator, marker and analyst are provided for working with the corpus. Each user rights in the speech corpus are described: the administrator is the role which has all possible rights in the system. The marker is the user whose main task is to mark up the audio recordings. Analyst is the user who can assess and process the data in the speech corpus. The necessity of the moderator’s role in controlling the quality of markup is proved by the fact that it’s mostly students who mark up the audio recordings. The information in the developed speech corpora is supposed to be useful for phonetic studies in linguistics and a database for oral speech recognition.

Geographical barriers to timely diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and anxiety level of parents during newborn screening in Turkey.

Despite the availability of cystic fibrosis (CF) screening countrywide, diagnostic delay is still a crucial issue. The objectives of this study were to explore the stages of the NBS process, determine the risk factors associated with diagnostic delay and evaluate parent anxiety and experience throughout the process. This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was completed by parents of newborns diagnosed with CF via NBS in 17 centers. Socio-demographic characteristics, parent knowledge and experiences related to NBS, sweat test availability in the region of residence, and time to the definitive CF diagnosis were assessed through this questionnaire. Parents' anxiety levels were evaluated through the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scales 1 and 2. Delayed diagnosis (DD) was defined as a definite CF diagnosis beyond the 8th week of life. Predictors of delayed CF diagnosis were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis. A total of 220 CF patients diagnosed via NBS were enrolled; 82 (37.3%) babies had DD. Multivariable analysis indicated that residence in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey (OR = 10.79, 95% CI = 2.37-49.2) was associated with a higher incidence of DD compared with other regions in Turkey. Of the total, 216 (98.1%) of the caregivers regarded the NBS program as useful and 180 (82%) reported high anxiety levels. The organization of newborn screening should take into account regional and socio-cultural characteristics to improve the early diagnosis of CF and also reduce the anxiety level of parents.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC EFFECTS ON MORTALITY RATES IN RUSSIAN REGIONS

For many years, the Department for Regional Development Modeling and Forecasting at the Institute of Economics KarRC RAS, together with scientists from Petrozavodsk State University, University of Eastern Finland and medical institutions, has been conducting comprehensive research at the intersection of economics, demography, medicine and ecology. The studies were supported by ten grants from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and Russian Foundation for the Humanities. This article examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality in Russian regions. The purpose of the study is to identify factors that have significantly raised mortality rates in Russian regions during the pandemic. The impact of socio-economic, demographic, medical, and geographical variables on morbidity and mortality rates in different stages of the pandemic was assessed taking into account regional characteristics. It is shown that, in general, mortality was promoted by higher shares of retirees and urban population, the location of the region in the center of the country, and a drop in citizens’ incomes in 2020 (compared to 2019). The first (spring) wave of the pandemic in Russia was relatively low, largely due to the imposed heavy restrictions. As a result, only in some months did the lower availability of hospital beds in a region contribute to higher mortality. The highest increase in mortality rates happened in regions of the Central Federal District. During the summer period, the incidence decreased and restrictions were relaxed, but increased mobility of people led to an increase in mortality in regions of the Volga Federal District, which are situated along the main roads and railways. By the end of the summer, the availability of doctors and hospital beds in the region became significant factors for increase in mortality, in addition to the three main indicators. In the fall, the second wave began, during which the increase in mortality depended on the location of the region, the proportion of the urban population, and the availability of doctors in the region. In some months, the level of income of the population and its change in 2020 had a significant effect. In December, the situation in the Volga Federal District and the Siberian Federal District stabilized, while mortality rates in southern regions of the country began to grow. The study was carried out by researchers from the Institute of Economics KarRC RAS and the Republican Infectious Diseases Hospital, and its results can be used to aid decision-making and safeguard the health of the nation through the regional medical and demographic policy

The adaptation of the population to changes in environmental conditions leads to the formation of various models of population behavior, which can affect the development of both regions and households in different ways. The scientific significance of the study is due to the need to develop a methodology for assessing the adaptation of the population of the region in the context of the transition to dynamic development. The purpose of this study is to review the methods for assessing the adaptation of the population of the region in the context of the transition to dynamic development. The object of the research is the population, and the subject of the research is the methodological support for assessing the adaptation of the population of the region in the context of the transition to dynamic development. The information base of the research was scientific publications concerning methodological tools for assessing the adaptation of the population from the point of view of analyzing consciousness from the standpoint of cultural values, social well-being and safety of life; analysis of economic, demographic, labor, natural-ecological and information processes; analysis of financial, savings and consumer behavior; analysis of educational, professional, informational, social and cultural capital. The research used methods of grouping, comparative analytical and system analysis, as well as graphic modeling. The results of the study indicate that the process of assessing the adaptation of the population is multifaceted, not only in terms of the choice of the object of assessment, but also the need to take into account regional characteristics. The existing methodological assessment toolkit does not take into account the complex nature of adaptation of the population, but also regional characteristics, which necessitates additional scientific research. Based on the analysis of methods and approaches to assessing the adaptation of the population, it was concluded that there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of the adaptation of the population of the region in the context of the transition to dynamic development in the context of regions in general and households in particular. This problem necessitates the development of appropriate methodological tools for assessing the adaptation of the population of the region in the context of the transition to dynamic development.

Geographic differences in the distribution of parasitic infections in children of Bolivia

BackgroundA high percentage of the population in Latin America lives with intestinal parasitic infections, a neglected tropical disease frequently not treated. Intestinal parasitism is associated with other disorders, but information about the epidemiological situation in countries like Bolivia is scarce. Environmental conditions play a role in the prevalence of certain parasites. The main objective was to know the current situation of parasitic infections among children under 12 years old from different geographical areas of Cochabamba – Bolivia. MethodsWe analysed the laboratory reports of four second-line hospitals in different areas and the Tertiary Care Hospital. Results of stool examinations performed between 2011 and 2015 in children under 12 years of age were collected. ResultsWe gathered the results of 23,221 examinations. The 89% of children were less than five years old. Pathogenic parasites were found in 31%. Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia were the two most prevalent parasites in all areas. Helminths were 19% of positive samples and Ascaris lumbricoides was the most prevalent. Parasitic infections are more frequent in tropical areas where helminths are highly concentrated. Pre-school age children (OR: 5.296; 95% CI: 4.81–5.83) and semi-tropical area (OR: 3.26; 95% CI: 2.90–3.66) were strongly associated to the presence of pathogenic parasites. ConclusionsParasitic infections in children are still very prevalent in Bolivia. Protozoan infections are a major problem, while the prevalence of helminths seems to be decreasing. The most vulnerable population is still concentrated in semi-tropical and tropical areas, where the risk of parasitic infection is probably increased due to poor environmental conditions. Our results could allow reconsideration of more effective parasitic disease control policies, taking into account regional characteristics.

FORMATION OF INFRASTRUCTURAL FACTORS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION

This article highlights the problems of determining infrastructural factors in the system of socioeconomic and cultural development of regions. Using systemic and synergetic approaches, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative analysis, it is justified that a term “infrastructure” in its modern sense is the basis of the economic system and its components, its internal organization, which guarantees its integrity. At the same time, the socio-economic meaning of the concept of “regional infrastructure” is to provide the necessary conditions for economic and social development of territories. The important role of regional infrastructure stems from its functions, which can be divided into internal (specialized) and external (regional). Internal functions are a number of important economic and social functions performed by each enterprise, and element, and subdivision of the regional infrastructure. At the same time, external ones are to ensure a comprehensive and properly balanced development of the region in accordance with its resource potential and certain specialization. In order to unconditionally improve the situation in the regional infrastructure, today many hopes of the regional and local authorities are placed on attracting external investment capital as the most promising area for financing its modernization. It is worth noting that a number of powerful foreign and domestic companies that have the appropriate experience in solving such large-scale problems are ready to become investors and implement the best achievements of organizational and technical experience in the relevant regions of Ukraine. At the same time, it is established that at this time the regions of Ukraine are trying to use their resources as efficiently as possible for further development, are looking for new opportunities to use their potential. Its disclosure and effective use, taking into account the defining regional features and the corresponding economic specialization, require a proper increase in the efficiency of all elements of the regional infrastructure. However, whatever the features of its classification, it is undeniable that it plays a key role in implementing the strategy implementation of appropriate processes of modernization of the regional economy. So, the term “infrastructure” in the modern sense is the basis of the economic system and its components, its internal organization, which guarantees its integrity. Meanwhile, the socio-economic meaning of the concept of “regional infrastructure” is to provide appropriate conditions for economic and social development of the region. Simultaneously, the more developed and modernized it is, the more attractive any unit of local self-government becomes for various investors, in particular, from the outside, which creates new jobs, reduces unemployment and increases consumer demand. In addition, today the regions of Ukraine are trying to make the most efficient use of their resources for further development, are looking for new opportunities to use their full potential. Its disclosure and effective use, taking into account regional characteristics and economic specialization, need to increase the efficiency of all elements of regional infrastructure. Contemporarily, despite the diversity of approaches to understanding its essence and the existence of different concepts, it is logical to highlight its specific levels, each of the elements of which performs its function in the economic system of the region. Therefore, the classification of regional infrastructure on a functional basis into production, social and market is the most accurate. As the analysis of its selected elements presented in this work shows, the close interrelation between them and economic development of regions is traced. The higher level of its development causes the growth of foreign investments and increase of labour resources, acceleration of economic development and growth of living standards of the population of the region. Conversely, lowering the level of infrastructural development slows down production and may lead to a decline in living standards. However, whatever the features of its classification, it is undeniable that it primarily plays one of the most important roles when it comes to implementing a strategy for modernization of the regional economy.

Screening determination of thyroid stimulating hormone in diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnant women: versions and contraversions

The work is devoted to the necessity of conducting a screening study of thyroid function in women in the pre-gravidar period and during gestation. Pathological conditions of the thyroid gland are one of the most common diseases of the endocrine system, second only to diabetes mellitus in prevalence. At the same time, in recent years, there has been an increase in thyroid insufficiency. Clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism are the most common hormonal dysfunctions during pregnancy, which have a negative impact on the course of gestation and fetal development. At the same time, subclinical hypothyroidism is an easily treatable disease that reduces the pregnancy related morbidity of the mother and fetus. Screening only at-risk patients probably skips most cases. Therefore, guidelines should be established for universal screening of thyroid dysfunction in the pre-gravidar period and during pregnancy with their own ranges for thyroid stimulating hormone during gestation, calculated taking into account regional, ethnic and population characteristics. Levothyroxine replacement therapy in a woman with subclinical hypothyroidism in the pre-gravidar period and during pregnancy should begin immediately after the diagnosis of this condition and be adequate in terms of timing and dose.

The purpose of the article is to consider the application of the author's model of modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional characteristics. Establishing relationships between the management mechanism of a municipality and a region requires the use of an integrated approach that contributes to the modernization of this process in accordance with the principles and factors of digital development of the environment. The conceptual approach is a tool that allows, on the one hand, to modernize the management mechanism of a municipality according to a given algorithm, and on the other hand, it contributes to assessing the current state of functioning of the studied territories. Research methodology: the author uses the method of theoretical foundations in identifying the features of the conceptual approach in the issue of modernizing the management mechanism of a municipality. A modeling method in the process of applying a conceptual approach to the modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional characteristics, as well as methods for data differentiation and quantitative assessment. As a result, the author's model of the conceptual approach to the modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional development, was formed. Indicators for assessing the management mechanism are proposed to simulate the model of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account the regional characteristics of the development of these territories.

Outburst hazard of little-studied lakes assessment at the Mongun-Taiga massif

There is a reduction in the area of glaciation of mountain massifs as a result of climate warming, which leads to the formation of lake-glacial complexes in areas of glaciation degradation. These complexes are dynamic systems that are rapidly changing over time, therefore, unstable and potentially outburst. Moraine and periglacial lakes outbursts are dangerous hydrological phenomena. As a result of outbursts catastrophic floods and mudflows can form, causing serious damage to the infrastructure of settlements located downstream and often leading to human toll. Therefore, the study of outburst-hazardous lakes is necessary and is an important applied problem associated with forecasting natural hazards. In this paper an the outburst hazard of little-studied moraine and periglacial lakes at the Mongun-Taiga mountain massif (Tyva Republic, Russian Federation) assessment was carried out using the scoring method, supplemented taking into account regional characteristics, using data from remote sensing of the Earth. The performed assessment according to satellite images showed that most of the massif's lakes have a high outburst hazard. Based on the assessment results a group of lakes was selected located in the right branch upstream of the river “Tolaity” for the purpose of a more detailed field survey (hydrological and geophysical studies were carried out). Field work carried out on the selected group of lakes allowed us to correct the performed assessment. In paper the applicability of the method based on comparing field data and data obtained from satellite images was estimated.

The article discusses the theoretical and methodological basis of scientific research related to identifying the level of security for the economic development of the regions of Ukraine, taking into account regional characteristics and defining the problems of modern regional policy. Attention is focused on the features of the economic potential of a region, taking into account its various components (infrastructural, production, social, economic and others) within the framework of the program of decentralization of power in Ukraine and predicting the economic potential of each region. The systemic method and the method of modeling the economic development of regions allow us to consider the regionalization of the economy as an organic component of the processes of integrated management in the economic sphere.

Interaction of banks and development institutions in the system of innovation priorities

The age of new technologies forms a new paradigm for the functioning of the economic system. New living conditions require serious and consistent changes in all areas. The current dynamics of development determines the emergence of new structures and mechanisms of interaction. The driving force behind the implementation of breakthrough technologies is development institutions that facilitate the implementation of new projects. The essential moment in the implementation of new requirements is the priorities of digital development. In this regard, the latest legislative innovations, as well as a number of measures for the restructuring of development institutions have given a new impetus to ensure progressive innovative development. The article discusses new conditions for the development of institutions, and also offers promising areas of interaction between banks and development institutions. The analysis of the models of work of development institutions is carried out. The main forms of financing innovative activities are considered. The mechanisms of interaction of the participants in the process have been determined, including taking into account regional characteristics. Legislative initiatives aimed at stimulating the development of innovations have been analyzed. The formulated proposals will be able to ensure a more dynamic development of innovations, which will allow launching the entire chain of updates in the technological field.

Forecasting the national electric vehicle markets development

The problem of forecasting the development of national electric vehicle markets in the context of the global trend of energy transition is considered. The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that the development of the electric vehicle market plays an important role in the process of replacing traditional energy sources with renewable sources. At the same time, forecasts for the development of national electric vehicle markets are often characterized by significant errors, which necessitates the development of reliable forecasting methods that take into account regional characteristics. To solve this problem, a multi-trend approach to building a mixed trend for the volume of electric vehicles and their share in the car market is proposed, which is based on modeling the development trend of the national market in the form of a linear combination of logistic, linear and exponential trends with weight coefficients depending on the degree of deviation trends from actual data. Based on the proposed modification of this method, forecasts of the development of the electric vehicle market for ten countries for the period 2018–2019 were made, which showed high reliability. A forecast for the period 2020–2024 has also been developed. It is shown that the reason for forecast errors is often the desire to use the logistic curve as a universal analysis tool without taking into account the peculiarities of the dynamics of the development of national electric vehicle markets.

Possibilities of using sprouted wheat grain in meat semi-finished products for a healthy diet

One of the ways to enrich food with essential micronutrients is to use cereals and legumes. The inclusion of wheat germ in the daily diet is the basis of “correct” and “healthy” nutrition systems. One of the most promising ways to create food products with desired properties is the use of a computational method for optimizing the amino acid rate of finished foods. By correctly selecting the component and nutrient composition, it is possible to produce food products for functional, specialized and therapeutic and prophylactic nutrition. Only by using of modern software you can quickly select and adjust the diet for various population groups, taking into account national and regional characteristics. The digitalization of world markets provides prerequisites for the creation of many newest software products that help technologists in the development of recipes for functional and preventive food products, raising food production to a new quality level.

Rating system as an element of human resource management at tertiary level

The article describes the functioning of the rating system in the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation and in a number of European countries such as Poland, Portugal, Spain, where rating systems have been developed taking into account regional and national characteristics of the traditions of higher education. The authors, relying on the materials of international forums on higher education, discovered a number of patterns that broaden the understanding of the rating and the peculiarities of its functioning in various educational centers of European countries, as well as in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. The Lisbon strategy also continued deepening into the practice of focusing on the base knowledge economy, where a decisive place is given to optimizing the human resources of higher education institutions in training highly qualified specialists for such an economy.
