On the Creation of Technology Parks in Order to Develop Innovative Production of the Countries: The Experience of China

In the new post-industrial, innovative economy, an indisputable fact is that only a subject actively engaged in R&D can claim the position of leader. Only competitive advantages created based on scientific research contribute to stimulating the development of domestic innovative production, and their generators receive the maximum amount of useful substances. The last most active way is not so much the growth of scientific research, but search for empirical and practical steps towards new forms of cooperation between economic entities from a scientific point of view. One of the consequences of the collaboration of the state, science and business was the emergence at the end of the twentieth century. such sites as technoparks, in the functioning of which business incubators and startups have played and continue to play a huge role. Appearing on the wave of practical implementation, based in fact only on theories of innovative economy, human and intellectual capital, a huge number of technology parks, including in Russia, could not achieve high performance indicators. The policy towards them turned out to be inconsistent, the legislative base for their activities was not worked out. The article considers the importance of scientific research, which should precede the implementation of practical steps, using the example of the area under consideration. In particular, the universality of the assumption that the micro-level of the economy should be primary in cooperation between the state, science and business is called into question. Based on the experience of creating technoparks in China, which managed to take the first place in the world in terms of the number of relevant structures and achieve high performance of their activities, the study attempted to determine the "core" of the technopark. It can depend on the level of economic development of the country, the adopted macroeconomic model, the established scientific schools adopted by the education system, and the involvement of domestic manufacturers in the processes of MRI. The experience of China can be useful in creating technology parks in Russia.

INOVASI PRODUK STIK DARI OLAHAN AMPAS TAHU SEBAGAI UPAYA UNTUK MENGEMBANGKAN UMKM DESA SIKUR, KECAMATAN SIKUR, KABUPATEN LOMBOK TIMUR

Sikur Village is a village located in Sikur District, East Lombok Regency which has 7 hamlets. The Sikur Village community, especially in Kebon Pancor Hamlet, the majority of the population are tofu food makers (home industry). The tofu industry generally produces solid waste in the form of tofu dregs. This waste has not been used optimally. Tofu dregs are usually only used as animal feed. This activity will be directed at the development of stick product innovations from tofu dregs. This activity is also within the framework of the government program UMKM (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) development. According to our observations, Sikur Village has not developed optimally. BUMDES as a village-owned enterprise can play a role in this MSME program, so that these goals can be implemented properly. The role of the University of Mataram Thematic KKN Students is highly expected. The programs launched in this activity include empowerment programs consisting of, entrepreneurship socialization, packaging and product legality manufacture as well as marketing development for MSME products and tofu dregs sticks. Tofu dregs sticks were chosen because they are quite easy to manufacture and the raw materials used are cheap so they are expected to have a high selling value. The results of this program are that the people of Sikur Village are able to process tofu dregs into a product that has high economic value, namely Tofu Dregs Sticks, which is expected to be a product that can add product innovation to UMKM (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) Sikur Village and can develop UMKM (Micro Small Enterprises) Middle School) in Sikur Village.

The degree of orientation to the consumer, his involvement in the process of development and implementation of innovations, a realistic assessment of the management of the company's focus on the client are considered as the main factors influencing business efficiency. Results. Attention is focused on the interrelationships between the type of corporate culture, the degree of its innovativeness and customer orientation, on the one hand, and the innovativeness of products or services, on the other. Attention is paid to the analysis of research on customer orientation and innovativeness of companies operating in foreign markets, a certain systematization of the results of these studies is carried out. Consumers are considered as direct participants in the process of development and implementation of innovations at all its stages. The main consequences of insufficient customer orientation are analyzed - insufficient and excessive innovativeness of products and services. Since the second one manifests itself more in modern situation, a rather vivid illustration of it using the example of products of IT Companies is provided. Emphasis is placed on differences in assessments of client orientation of managers and consumers, overestimated self-esteem of management. Conclusions. Recommendations on strengthening the orientation of business structures on the client and balancing the level of innovativeness of products and services with the needs of the client are formulated: constant monitoring of the needs of consumers and clients; effective communication with them at all stages of development of innovative product ; "innovative enlightenment" for "pulling up" the consumers to the level of innovation of products or services. Implementation of these recommendations requires significant changes in corporate culture.

Innovative Ecotourism Product Development Based on the Use of Geographic Information Technologies


 
 
 The tourist product is a specific product that has a number of features such as in- separability from the source of formation, complexity, insensitivity, impossibility of storage and warehousing of the tourist product. These features should be taken into account when developing an ecotourism product, as it is a specific integrated product provided in the natural environment, considering regional characteristics, local culture, gastronomic events and caring for the environment. The role of the relevance, timeliness of the information provided on a particular tourist product is growing. Ecological tourism has features, as the objects of tourist activity are little-visited natural-territorial complexes, characterized by a certain spatial distribution in the territory. It requires the use of geographic information technologies, remote sensing systems, global positioning in order to organize tourism facilities, which determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the significance of creating innovative ecotourism products based on the use of modeling systems and modern technologies, including geoinformation, determining the value of ecotourism and the study of competitive advantages for tourism enterprises which enable them to make a profit from the provision of ecotourism services. The research methodology involves statistical methods of data processing, cartographic research methods using geoinformation technologies, the method of spatial analysis, as well as systemic, general scientific and informational approaches. The importance of ecological tourism is proved on the basis of the analysis of its basic values, advantages and opportunities. Proposals to improve the situation in the ecotourism services market have been developed. Offers of ecotourism products are suggested on the basis of detailed typology (division into cognitive, recreational, business, cultural, educational groups of ecological tourism). Prospects for the use of geographic information technologies in the development of innovative ecotourism products are studied. For the first time, the authors have developed the geoportal model of Zhytomyr district ecolocations , which lists the main possible locations for the devel- opment of ecological tourism The authors have conducted a survey of Zhytomyr region residents after the implementation of the first stage of the decentralization reform in 2014 – 2019 and segmented the interests of potential ecotourists. Potential sources of income for protected areas and other ecotourism participants are identified. The concept of ecological tourism development is formed.

The Importance and Necessity of New Bio-Based Materials in Industrial Design

Main goals like technical innovation, costs and respect for the environment urge us to discover finer, lighter, biodegradable, and more �intelligent� materials in their functionality. The development of industrial design is motivated by criteria such as the environment, sustainability, the need for lightweight products, manufactured with fewer components and integrating various functions. As experts in new materials and technologies for the development of innovative products, we work closely with international research institutes as part of our projects. We want to create materials that combine such properties in the most efficient way, interacting with their close environment and the environment in general and, based on their features, to be transformed through various processes in completely different materials. The goal of our work is to compare different existing materials with a new bio-based material using quantifiable measurement indicators and sensory measurement indicators. The purpose of this article is to provide a few elements that can be used as a guide in establishing a quantitative impact assessment strategy based on the use of sensory evaluation techniques. In the framework of our presentation, we will focus mostly on comparing the materials via a metrological tool for quantifying tactile characteristics likely to be correlated to the ground truth that constitutes a sensory profile.

The Impact of Self-Regulation and State Regulation on Small Business Development: An Innovative Approach

Various factors affect the development of small business. Among these are self-regulation and state regulation. The authors focus on the impact that self-regulation and state regulation have on small business, study their interrelation, and interplay in the infrastructural support for the small business development. Both self-regulation and state regulation have their own objectives, guiding principles, inherent functions, and a set of methods and tools to influence the development of small businesses. The authors conclude that, in present day Russia, the focus is on shifting from state regulation to self-regulation without providing additional conditions for development, which reduces the social efficiency of self-regulation. Self-regulation as an alternative to state regulation should be chosen based on the level of the social relations development in general and in the regulated area, in particular. Currently, the development of innovative small businesses as drivers in the economic development attracts much attention. Without state regulation of innovative processes, sustainable socio-economic development of Russia is almost impossible. The economic mechanism of control over the innovative business should include the infrastructure to favor the conditions for the development and introduction of innovative products by small enterprises; the regulatory framework to create equal conditions for business operations, considering the specifics of production and its priority for the region it takes place in; the HR-related matters to plan business activities considering the professional competence of specialists and the ability to improve their skills. The transition to the innovative development path should include the possibilities of both self-regulation and the need for state regulation to form the conditions for a favorable innovative environment.

Science and technology policy of the Russia and reserves of interaction between academic, university and entrepreneurial sectors of science

In the last 15 years the Russian Federation has been declared an economic obstruction, associated with the attempt of Western countries to oust Russia from the external commodity and financial markets. The embargoes imposed by the West have largely affected the domestic market because of its excessive saturation with imported goods. Import substitution policy initiated by the Government more than 10 years ago could not solve the problem of shortage of high-tech products due to technological backwardness of many enterprises of civil economy, including due to insufficient involvement of domestic science to assist in the development of innovative production. There are also problems in Russian science itself. The main one is underfunding of research as a consequence of weak development of entrepreneurial and state market of orders for scientific products. Most commercial structures prefer to acquire ready-made patents or technologies from foreign firms. There is no optimal mechanism for administrative coordination and financial subsidizing of creative interaction between the three sectors of science to solve problems relevant from the position of domestic and foreign policy. All-Russian studies conducted with the author's participation in 2011–2020 show the positive experience of cooperative interaction between different sectors of science with mixed public-private financing and in the reliance on the technological platform of manufacturing companies. This is the practice for 80% of scientific organizations performing applied research. As for the basic sciences, in this segment close cooperation of academic research institutes is not only possible but also desirable with universities, both in the framework of megaprojects and in the preparation of textbooks for universities.

Physicochemical properties, structural characteristics and in vitro digestion of brown rice–pea protein isolate blend treated by microbial transglutaminase

The present study sought to use microbial transglutaminase (MTG) to modulate the physicochemical properties of brown rice protein isolate (BRPI), pea protein isolate (PPI) and their blend, and determine MTG's effect on protein structural and digestive profile changes. MTG at concentration of 1 U/g significantly increased water holding capacity (91.6% enhancement) and decreased oil holding capacity (39.3% reduction) of BRPI + PPI (4:6) blend, respectively, accompanied by decreasing their solubility and zeta potential values in aqueous system. From rheological analysis, MTG-induced crosslinks could result in stronger and more elastic gels in BRPI + PPI blend with lower gel point temperature. SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the number and intensities of the protein bands for all MTG-treated BRPI were similar under both non-reducing and reducing conditions, whereas in the samples containing PPI, fewer and fainter bands were shown in the groups treated by MTG at concentration of 4 U/g and above. From FTIR spectra, lower level of random coils paralleled by an increase in both β-sheet structures and α-helix band were observed in the 1.0 U/g MTG-treated BRPI + PPI blend, indicating the protein-protein interactions within the mixed systems might boost the role of MTG in the structural modification, facilitating the network formation of more ordered structure with better thermal stability. Results of in vitro digestion showed less hydrophobic amino acids and essential amino acids including Lys released in MTG-treated BRPI + PPI blend's digests. Overall, the application of MTG in plant-based proteins can potentially contribute to the development of innovative food products with modified functionalities and unique digestive characteristics.

Sustainable Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications.

Significant progress in nanotechnology has enormously contributed to the design and development of innovative products that have transformed societal challenges related to energy, information technology, the environment, and health. A large portion of the nanomaterials developed for such applications is currently highly dependent on energy-intensive manufacturing processes and non-renewable resources. In addition, there is a considerable lag between the rapid growth in the innovation/discovery of such unsustainable nanomaterials and their effects on the environment, human health, and climate in the long term. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design nanomaterials sustainably using renewable and natural resources with minimal impact on society. Integrating sustainability with nanotechnology can support the manufacturing of sustainable nanomaterials with optimized performance. This short review discusses challenges and a framework for designing high-performance sustainable nanomaterials. We briefly summarize the recent advances in producing sustainable nanomaterials from sustainable and natural resources and their use for various biomedical applications such as biosensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Additionally, we provide future perspectives into the design guidelines for fabricating high-performance sustainable nanomaterials for medical applications.

Russia’s development strategy in the context of the global geo-economic paradigm shift

Aim.The presented study aims to substantiate the paradigm shift in global economic development and to identify the impact of this process on the Russian economy.Tasks.The author investigates scientific papers on the research topic; analyzes the mechanism of interaction between nominal and resource systems and substantiates the use of the dollar and the euro as world currencies as a prerequisite for determining the nominal demand system in the resource market; examines the trend of the dollar and euro losing their dominant position in the global financial system and its stability; advances arguments for a paradigm shift in global economic development and determines the impact of this process on the Russian economy in the medium and long term.Methods.This study uses the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and a systems approach.Results.World economy is presented as a mechanism based on the interaction between the real and the resource systems. The increasing gap between these systems at the present time is substantiated. Arguments in favor of the existence of a stable process of de-dollarization as a prerequisite for such a gap are provided. Based on the conducted analysis, a steady trend of the dollar losing major functions of world money in certain countries and country associations that are strategically important for Russia has been revealed. The existence of a paradigm shift in global world development, which consists in replacing the demand for reserves with the demand for resources, is substantiated. It is shown that for Russia, the existing changes make it possible to effectively distribute raw energy resources from the perspective of the country’s geo-economic and geopolitical interests. It is substantiated that the export of energy commodities from Russia will be irrelevant in the long term. In conclusion, the author suggests appropriate directions for a long-term development strategy.Conclusions.Currently, there is a global economic paradigm shift, which involves demand for raw materials being replaced by demand for foreign exchange reserves. Considering Russia’s role in the global mineral commodity market, the existing changes make it possible to effectively distribute raw energy resources from the perspective of the country’s geo-economic and geopolitical interests. In the medium term, the demand for Russian hydrocarbon resources will be ensured by the growing economic potential of major importers. In the long term, the leading importers of hydrocarbons will develop renewable and hydrogen energy, which will lead to the rejection of energy imports. Thus, Russia’s long-term geo-economic strategy should focus on the development and export of scientific, technological, and innovative products.

Development of innovative fermented products by exploiting the diversity of immunomodulatory properties and fermentative activity of lactic and propionic acid bacteria

Many consumers nowadays demand plant-based milk analogs for reasons related to lifestyle, health, diet and sustainability. This has led to the increasing development of new products, fermented or not. The objective of the present study was to develop a plant-based fermented product (based on soy milk analog or on hemp milk analog), as well as mixes, using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and propionic acid bacteria (PAB) strains, as well as consortia thereof. We screened a collection of 104 strains, from nine LAB species and two PAB species, based on their ability to ferment plant or milk carbohydrates, to acidify goat milk, soy milk analog and hemp milk analog, as well as to hydrolyze proteins isolated from these three products. Strains were also screened for their immunomodulatory ability to induce secretion of two interleukins, i.e., IL-10 and IL-12, in human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells. We selected five strains: Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis Bioprox1585, Lactobacillus acidophilus Bioprox6307, Lactococcus lactis Bioprox7116, Streptococcus thermophilus CIRM-BIA251, and Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici CIRM-BIA2003. We then assembled them in 26 different bacterial consortia. Goat milk and soy milk analog fermented by each of the five strains or by the 26 consortia were tested in vitro, for their ability to modulate inflammation in cultured Human Epithelial Intestinal Cells (HEIC) stimulated by pro-inflammatory Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Escherichia coli. Plant-based milk analogs, fermented by one consortium composed of L.delbrueckii subsp. lactis Bioprox1585, Lc.lactis Bioprox7116, and A.acidipropionici CIRM-BIA2003, reduced the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 in HIECs. Such innovative fermented vegetable products thus open perspectives as functional foods targeting gut inflammation.

Accelerating the process development of innovative food products by prototyping through 3D printing technology

Discoveries and applications of 3D food printing (3DFP) keep growing with a large set of outcomes, such as the development and optimization of novel edible inks and post-printing processes. However, the main principle at the core of 3D printing, i.e. Rapid Prototyping, hasn't received the deserved attention. Thus, beyond generating innovative food products, this study emphasizes the opportunities and benefits of 3DFP for food prototyping. Several cereal-based snacks were generated, and their corresponding baking kinetics were monitored considering changes in the most important characteristics of the product, its impact on productivity and potential safety concerns. The prototypes had two shapes (cylindrical and cubical), three infill levels (30, 60, and 100%) and two infill paths (grid and gyroid). Moisture content was satisfactorily described by using a modified version of a logistic model (r > 0.98), enabling to estimate and, then, successfully validating the baking time to get a moisture content lower than 0.1 g H2O/g dry basis (d.b.). 3D printed structures with 30% infill exhibited a significant reduction in baking time (from 16.5 to 19.2 min) against not only those with 60% infill but also the control, which needed 38.6 min of baking; this emphasizes the benefits of controlled pattern designs on energy consumption and increasing hourly production. Furthermore, acrylamide formation was estimated to be between 39 and 91% lower than in the control samples after receiving comparative thermal treatments. 3DFP may be used as an important prototyping tool, extending and accelerating the manufacturing of food products with economic, nutritional/toxicological, societal, and environmental benefits.

Recent developments in encapsulation of α-lipoic acid for enhanced bioavailability and stability

α-lipoic acid (LA) is a potent antioxidant available in various plant and animal sources. Of late, there is high market demand for LA-based nutraceuticals, owing to enhanced occurrences of oxidative stress-based diseases. However, the effectiveness of LA is challenged with its low solubility, less stability, and low bioavailability. In addition, the unpleasant taste of LA limits its applications in food systems. In this context, encapsulation techniques can modify the chemical and biological properties of LA and improve its solubility and stability in the aqueous medium, which in turn helps in the development of different innovative therapeutic products based on LA. Different encapsulation techniques such as inclusion complexes, spray drying, electrospraying, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), emulsification, and liposomes have been explored for the encapsulation of LA. This review focuses on the biological activities of LA in terms of antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, and the scope of encapsulation to enhance these properties, as evidenced through in vitro and in vivo studies. Furthermore, this article will help researchers and industrialists to select the suitable encapsulation method based on their requirement for delivering LA to achieve its optimal therapeutic potential.

Development of Innovative Taro-Based Product Management with Zero-Waste Concept to Increase the Independence of PKK Wanagiri

The development of innovative products is currently growing rapidly producing a variety of processed products that are increasingly diverse. Taro tubers are one of the potential foodstuffs to be developed. Taro in addition to having carbohydrate component, also contains other components that are good for health. Taro has the disadvantage of itching when consuming taro due to the oxalate compounds contained in it. This has resulted in people being reluctant to process taro. This problem was experienced by one of the groups in Wanagiri Village, namely the Prosperous Family Empowerment Group (PKK) Wanagiri, which is located in Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Province Bali, Indonesia. The partner does not yet know the taste of taro, and does not have innovative product management made from taro. Solutions to overcome such problems are: providing knowledge regarding the cultivation and processing of taro, providing training on the processing of taro products (bread, nuggets and jams) and how to package, market and handle processing waste. The method used is active community participation. Community Self-Reliance Activities (KKM) in Wanagiri Village have been running smoothly. The added value of the Wanagiri PKK group and their standard of living has increased. Taro-based innovative product development with a zero-waste concept can be applied. Knowledge of how to process taro into bread, nuggets, chips and jam, product packaging, and marketing can help people to increase self-sufficiency. Mentoring activities should be carried out on an ongoing basis so that groups are able to independently make products (chips, bread, nuggets and jam), wider marketing and ultimately increased welfare.
