FEATURES OF THERMAL STABILISATION OF FLAX-CONTAINING “STRETCH” FABRICS

The analysis showed that achieving 15…30 % elasticity requires an input of textured yarns of about 40 %, while the same effect can be achieved by inputting 2…4 % elastane yarns. This makes it possible to produce stretch fabrics consisting of 96…98 % natural fibres. It is shown that the two-winding technology of joining elastane yarns with flax yarns allows the process to be carried out at a speed of at least 200 metres per minute. The article presents a laboratory technique for determining the process parameters for thermal stabilisation of flax-containing stretch fabrics to ensure a given elastic elongation of the fabric in the transverse direction. The possibility of producing stretch fabrics with a natural fibre content of at least 96 % is shown. The modes of fabric heat treatment to obtain elastic elongation from 12 to 36 % are given. The presented technique can be recommended for use in production conditions at the initial stage of industrial technology development.

Efficacy of the construction industry legislative framework in developing countries – an Eswatini case

PurposeThe regulation of the construction industry remains a significant obstacle to economic progress in developing nations. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the efficacy of the legislative framework in the construction industry, focusing on Eswatini. The construction industry plays a critical role in the upliftment of the economy and an effective and efficient legislative framework is essential to ensure that as a developing country, Eswatini derives maximum benefits from the sector.Design/methodology/approachA phenomenological research design was used to explore stakeholders’ perceptions about the purpose of the legislative framework in the Eswatini construction industry and to establish the effectiveness of the current legislative framework in fulfilling its mandate. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. A total of 45 participants occupying different positions within the construction industry were selected using purposive sampling. The data were analysed thematically.FindingsThe results reiterate that the legislative framework’s purpose is to regulate, control and guide sectoral operations, including enforcing compliance with statutes and payment of construction levies. However, the legislative framework does not effectively fulfil its purpose of addressing stakeholder needs. Overall, the findings indicate shortcomings and inefficiencies within the framework aimed at regulating the construction industry of Eswatini. The inefficiencies have a great potential of defeating the purpose of the entire framework.Research limitations/implicationsRegarding implications for future research, the current study has set a new pathway for legislative framework analysis and evaluation. Therefore, future research on the topic can build on the current study and compare the legislative frameworks across developing countries. The purpose would be to establish the similarities and differences, and to identify strengths and weaknesses, possibly leading to established principles of what works in a given context. Other studies on the topic could focus on benchmarking against developed countries on how they measure the efficacy of the legislative framework within their constriction industry.Practical implicationsBased on the preceding, these findings may apply to similar developing countries at a similar stage of construction industry development. However, the findings should be considered within the limitations of the study. The focus was on developing countries, particularly the Eswatini context. Each country presents a unique context and challenges, so the findings should be cautiously generalized.Originality/valueWhile other studies in different contexts focus on developing legislative frameworks, the current study evaluated an existing legislative framework using defined criteria. The current study made a unique contribution by streamlining the features of effective and ineffective legislative frameworks. Hitherto, such information was scattered in literature but has been consolidated and applied empirically. Thus, the study has set benchmarks for analysing and evaluating legislative frameworks in developing countries.

Specific features of production and use of transportation biofuels in selected developing countries (part II)

Aim. To identify specific features of production and use of transportation biofuels in selected developing countries, as well as to assess the potential of bioethanol industry development in the Russian Federation (RF).Objectives. To assess the economic efficiency of bioethanol production in Russia; to reveal the potential of applying foreign experience in the development of bioethanol industry in our country.Methods. In the process of the research the methods of system analysis, comparative analysis, method of expert evaluations, mathematical, statistical methods were applied.Results. The actual estimation of economic efficiency of bioethanol production in Russia was obtained. The cost of a unit of bioethanol, which is equivalent to a liter of gasoline in terms of energy content, is 5-36% higher than the cost of a liter of gasoline (depending on the production technology). At the same time, state support for the production and use of bioethanol in our country is reasonable. This will allow to create additional demand for grain crops and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from motor transport. The production and use of bioethanol will form an additional supply in the gasoline market, will give an opportunity to support projects on deep processing of grain and wood chemistry.Conclusions. The experience of Brazil, China and Indonesia in the development of bioethanol industry is relevant for Russia. At the same time, in order to minimize possible risks in the field of food security at the initial stage of bioethanol industry development, low-quality grain stocks should be used as feedstock and the production of second-generation bioethanol should be stimulated.

To What Extent Did the Chinese Banking Industry Affect Chinas Economic Growth in Past 50 Years?

Currently, the Chinese economy is encountering a period of stagnation in its development. Sustaining the rapid growth rate of the economy has become a challenge, as there is a lack of adequate momentum for continuous high-speed advancement. The nation is edging closer to the middle-income trap, and the conventional approach of relying on investment, exports, and consumption to propel economic growth is proving to be unattainable. It must be achieved through the transformation of economic structure, and the transformation of the financial industry is the most important part of it. The research question of this article is how commercial banks affect economic growth and how China's banking system has developed. The WTO's entrance into China has been a major catalyst for the banking industry and its system to be built. The literature review section delved deeply into economic growth, examining the concept of it, how it is achieved in China, as well as any factors that may influence it. More importantly, the study reviewed what the banking industry is and the development stages of China's banking industry. The banking industry's development was examined in the concluding part of the literature review, examining pertinent studies on the effect of economic expansion. In the discussion section of the research, we analyzed how the banking industry affects economic growth through its impact on capital allocation, banking services, and currency. Ultimately, we drew corresponding conclusions and proposed countermeasures and suggestions for the future development of the banking industry. Due to the fact that the industrial structure of developing countries is usually dominated by labor-intensive industries, clarifying the interrelationship between China's banking structure, capital allocation efficiency, and economic growth has universal significance and reference value for relevant financial arrangements in developing countries.

How to crack the impossible triangle of new energy coupled system——Evidence from China

This paper employs a four-dimensional coupled dynamic system and combines actual data from China to analyze the intrinsic connections and dynamic changes among new energy, economy, carbon emissions, and energy storage. The study reveals that new energy development faces an impossible triangle dilemma, wherein energy reliability, economy, and low carbon are difficult to achieve simultaneously. Although economic growth promotes new energy utilization, new energy development may inhibit economy at the initial stage. The development of new energy can effectively reduce carbon intensity. There exists a conflict between economic growth and carbon reduction, and a part of economic growth needs to be sacrificed to realize carbon emissions reduction. Further research indicates that market mechanism and government regulation are crucial for solving the energy trilemma, requiring coordinated efforts to achieve the optimal solution for energy, economy, and environmental goals. It is recommended to dynamically adjust the policy and market mechanism intensity based on the new energy industry's development stage. Increase government subsidies in the early stages and gradually transition to market dominance in the mid-term while improving market mechanism. In the field of energy storage, guide its participation in the electricity market to achieve scale development.

The Role Of The State In Turkey’s Domestic Automobile initiatives (Devrim and Togg)

The automotive sector, where the highest foreign investments are made in the world, plays a critical role in the economic development of countries. The reason why the automotive sector is the locomotive in the development of national economies is that it has strong ties with other industrial branches of the economy in the production process. Therefore, the sector is seen as a strategic development tool by governments. Therefore, supporting the sector through various incentives or direct public capital is a long-standing development policy. In this study, the development stages of Turkey's automotive industry, the policies pursued by the state to strengthen the automotive industry, and other factors that contributed to the development of Turkey's automotive industry are examined specifically through Turkey's two domestic automobile initiatives (Devrim and Togg). In line with the aim of the research, studies on the automotive sector in Turkey from the Ottoman period to the present have been analyzed. In particular, a detailed literature review was conducted with the studies on Turkey's first domestic automobile initiative, Devrim cars. The resource dependency theory, which is considered to be related to the subject of the study, was examined and then the relationship between the state and the business world in Turkey was briefly summarized. Finally, the role of the state in Turkey's domestic automobile initiatives (Devrim and Togg) was analyzed.

Удосконалення системи мотивації персоналу на прикладі АТ «УКРПОШТА»

Companies must constantly look for new ways to increase efficiency and improve management systems in today’s competitive environment. We all know that talent is an organization’s most important resource. The more investment and attention paid to talent, the better the overall efficiency and profitability of the enterprise. Motivation is one of the main components of people management. When exploring the nature of motivation, it is essential to consider that motivation is a process that drives a person’s behavior in a specific direction, forcing them to behave in a certain way in a particular situation. By understanding motivational methods that have yet to be sufficiently studied, we can better explain people’s behavior at work or in other situations. At the current stage of business and logistics industry development in Ukraine, Ukrposhta faces challenges and tasks related to increasing competitiveness and improving customer service. One of the crucial factors influencing the successful fulfillment of these tasks is the compelling motivation and management of personnel. The incentive system at Ukrposhta may need to be revised or improved to ensure high productivity and employee satisfaction. Motivation processes need to be more transparent, non-individualized, and able to consider the needs of different groups of employees, such as couriers, sorters, managers, etc. This situation can lead to low productivity, decreased motivation, increased staff turnover, and deterioration in the quality of customer service. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities and importance of forming an effective labor motivation system at an enterprise, as well as to analyze the current state of the motivation system at Ukrposhta JSC and to find ways to improve it. Improving the staff motivation system is crucial to any organization’s successful management and development. Companies can achieve many benefits with a properly designed and implemented motivation system. Motivated staff work more efficiently and achieve high results, contributing to the company’s productivity. Suppose employees feel valued and have development opportunities. In that case, it reduces the risk of losing valuable staff and the need to find new employees. Satisfied employees are more focused on the quality of their work and customer service, which helps to attract and retain customers. An effective incentive system can foster creative and innovative solutions among employees. A well-designed incentive system can improve the working climate, make the work environment more conducive, and promote teamwork. A robust incentive system can be a tool for attracting and retaining talented employees. Thus, at Ukrposhta, remuneration is the main economic incentive. The company uses various forms and systems of labor. Management pays attention to material incentives but ignores stimulating the moral needs of subordinates, such as improving work performance and conditions, maintaining team spirit, etc. Keywords: motivation, motivation system, staff motivation, improvement of motivation, ways of motivation.

Analysis of Multi-Stakeholder Behavioral Strategies in the Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Industry through an Evolutionary Game Theory

Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) recycling products have drawn worldwide attention over the past few decades. There is a general agreement among researchers that C&DW recycling is an important means for curbing the deterioration of the environment. Previous papers mainly focused on the decision-making behavior of dual stakeholders or tripartite stakeholders, as well as the lack of cooperation among multiple stakeholders. This study explored a dynamic evolutionary game model with three different parameter conditions to research the decision-making behaviors and stable strategies of the multi-stakeholders involved in the C&DW recycling product industry, including government departments and some enterprises. This research also investigated how the government’s supervision costs, penalties applied to enterprises, and resource taxes affect the dynamic evolution process of C&DW recycling. This research conducted numerical simulations using Python to analyze stakeholders’ behavioral evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) and the sensitivity to main factors in each stage of the C&DW recycling process to accelerate the development of construction waste resource utilization. Based on the results of the evolutionary game, this paper proposed that the roles of multi-stakeholders are different at different stages of industry development, and that supervision costs, penalties, and resource tax have their own impacts on the C&DW recycling product industry. The paper suggests a range of discussions and simulation studies to highlight the significance of the government’s refined and moderate adjustments to the regulatory incentive system and the level of government regulation and involvement at different stages of the process. These adjustments are aimed at promoting the sustainable recycling and utilization of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) products within some countries’ construction industry.

Technological Analysis of the Production of Nickel-Containing Composite Materials

The article presents the results of obtaining a composite material by sintering nickel-containing raw materials mixed with carbon-containing materials, namely using coke and semi-coke. The sintering process was performed at a charge layer height of 240 mm and the temperature of the lower layer was T = 1200 °C. The results of the sieve analysis showed (a fraction of 10 mm) that the yield of a suitable composite material using coke was 68.3% and with semi-coke 67.0%. The average nickel and chromium content in the composite materials was 1.42% and 3.07%, accordingly. As a result of determining the strength characteristics of the obtained composite materials with various reducing agents by dropping from a height of 2 m onto a steel pallet, it was found that the obtained composite materials have high mechanical properties in terms of strength of 81% and 89.2%. The results of the elemental composition at the studied points and the thermal analysis of the studied composite material are presented. The mineralogical composition of the composite material is presented in the form of serpentine and nontronite, and the empty rock is made of quartz and talc. The activation energy of thermal analysis by the method of non-isothermal kinetics were calculated. The results of experiments on the production of composite materials from nickel-containing raw materials will be recommended for obtaining the optimal composition of composite materials at the stage of pilot tests and industrial development of the developed technology for processing nickel ores of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For the processing of nickel-poor nickel ores, it is of great importance to obtain optimal technological and technical and economic indicators that ensure low cost of nickel in the resulting product.

ОЭЗ В ПРАКТИКЕ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ПРОМЫШЛЕННОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ СТРАН ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНОЙ АЗИИ

Increasing the pace of economic growth, attracting investments, and technological develop-ment are considered by governments of developing countries as priority goals. Methods of economic regu-lation, in particular the creation of special economic zones (SEZs) with a set of preferential investment and production conditions are used to this end. This paper analyzes the compliance of the applied model of SEZs with the level of industrial development, and the current stage of industrial development in the coun-try. The hypothesis is that the formation of SEZs in developing countries and the system for evaluating their effectiveness are determined by the level of industrial development and resource availability, as characteris-tics of the industrial development of the economy. The article uses systemic and institutional-evolutionary methodology, and methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparative analysis. The study revealed that at an early stage of industrial development, countries actively attract foreign capital by creating export-oriented zones. Attracting foreign direct investment can increase the pace of economic growth, form an industrial complex, and make qualitative changes in the structure of the workforce. The attractiveness of SEZs for foreign investment depends on the geographical features of the location, the available resources, and the in-frastructure. During the transition of countries to the final stage of industrialization, it is advisable to use a SEZ open to the domestic market, aimed at maintaining the innovation sector and integrating research and production. Maintaining an isolated SEZ export model may increase the vulnerability of the host country to global challenges and slow down the transition to a post-industrial economy.

Minerageny of Jurassic deposits of the northeastern side of the Ulyanovsk-Saratov depression

The Jurassic terrigenous-clayey complex on the territory of the northeastern side of the Ulyanovsk-Saratov depression contains numerous groups of solid minerals. Some of them are at the stages of industrial development, some have not found application due to local distribution. Analysis of the composition and conditions of formation of solid mineral raw materials showed that the main factor influencing the formation of minerals was the marginal position of the territory in the Middle-Upper Jurassic time. The relatively high bioproductivity of the epicontinental Central Russian paleosea contributed to the accumulation of layers of calcareous marls, oil shale and phosphate raw materials. All these rocks were formed in the Mesozoic basin of sedimentation with the active participation of organic matter, the producers of which were zoo- and phytoplankton. The accumulation of coccolithophora in clayey silts led to the formation of calcareous marls, the accumulation of dying algae in bottom sediments led to the formation of oil shale. Nodular phosphorites are also biochemogenic raw materials. During periods of regressive development of the Central Russian paleosea along the coast, conditions were created for the accumulation of oolitic siderites together with leguminous goethite-hydrogethite aggregates of iron ores. Periodically, regional faults were activated on the northeastern edge of the Ulnovsko-Saratov depression. At this time, there was an upward migration of deep mineralized fluids through weakened zones. Unloading in the bottom part of the Central Russian paleosea, they contributed to the formation of fields of pyrite and barite mineralization in sedimentary rocks.

Complex of hydrodynamic studies of wells and formations at the Uzen field

The effectiveness of monitoring the development process depends on the availability of complete and high-quality information about the hydrodynamic parameters of productive formations, reservoir reservoir properties, technical condition of wells, etc. The purpose of oil, petroleum gas and reservoir water research is to obtain comprehensive data on their properties and composition, which are within the productive horizons of deposits, as a rule, are fickle. Ignoring the heterogeneity of oil properties over the area of the deposit and the lack of control over changes in physico-chemical properties during the operation of the field can lead to serious errors in predicting the parameters of field development. One of the most important sources of information is hydrodynamic (field) studies of formations and wells. The advantage of hydrodynamic methods for increasing oil recovery is that they are relatively easy to implement and do not require large economic costs. At the Uzen field, the assessment of the initial productive and filtration characteristics of the formations was carried out on the basis of studies of steady-state filtration (MSS) performed during testing of oil-saturated reservoir intervals during exploration and at the initial stage of industrial development of the field when the deposit was operating under natural depletion mode. The article presents the results of a study by the method of steady-state selections (MSS), a study by the method of pressure recovery (PRC).

Albania’s Foreign Economic Relations, 1956–1977: Between Moscow and Beijing

This article analyses the economic relations of the People’s Republic of Albania with socialist countries in the late 1950s–1970s, as well as the Soviet Union’s strategy of using the “economic factor” in its relations with Albania. The main sources for the article were documents of the embassies of the USSR in socialist countries, information notes of Soviet economists, reports of special services and analytical materials compiled in the Central Committee of the CPSU. The author concludes that both the Soviet Union and China sought to use economic cooperation with Albania to draw it into the orbit of their international policies. To this end, Moscow and Beijing developed complex strategies of foreign economic relations, which included interstate cooperation and partnership within the framework of international socialist cooperation of the economies of the people’s democracies. The amount of economic aid received by the PRA was significant and allowed the country to enter the stage of industrial development. At the same time, both the Soviet and Chinese partners tried to contain the gigantomania of their ally’s plans by reducing loans to certain obviously unprofitable enterprises. The Albanian elite, however, could not admit the fallacy of its economic policy and therefore attributed its low effectiveness to external enemies. Neither the Soviet Union nor the People’s Republic of China managed to use the “economic factor” to influence the internal politics of the PRA for a long period of time. Skillfully maneuvering between Moscow and Beijing and playing on the contradictions of the two leading powers of the world socialist system, Tirana maintained its socio-economic model, which proved surprisingly stable.

Basic principles of combating cybercrime: international experience

At the current stage of society’s development, the importance of innovative processes taking place in our society in connection with global informatization is increasingly felt. But along with positive achievements, informatization is accompanied by side, negative phenomena of a criminogenic nature, which include computer crime. This, of course, requires the immediate creation of a system of combating this type of crime at the state level. For modern society (in the period of its transition f rom the industrial stage of development to the new one - post-industrial, informational), the relevance of this problem is beyond doubt. According to various expert estimates, worldwide losses f rom the activities of cybercriminals range f rom 300 to 800 billion euros annually. At the international level, a number of legal acts recognize that cybercrime threatens not only the national security of individual countries, but also the security of humanity and the international legal order.For many countries, in particular for Ukraine, cybercrime is a fairly relevant phenomenon, generated by the widespread introduction of modern information and telecommunication technologies into economic processes.The characteristic features of crimes in the field of information and telecommunication technologies are: – the need for wide application of special knowledge in the detection and recording of crime traces in electronic form; – organization and cross-border nature (broad interregional and international connections); - high latency caused by the reluctance of the private sector to inform about such crimes due to distrust in the potential capabilities of law enforcement agencies and reluctance to admit weaknesses in their security systems; - a high level of technical support for offenders.

RCEP 체결 이후 ASEAN 지역내 주요 산업 경쟁력 변화와 시사점

Purpose - This research seeks to assess the trade volume and international competitiveness of RCEP member countries post-agreement, taking into account the diverse economic structures within the ASEAN countries.
 Design/Methodology/Approach - This investigation focuses on three variables: exports, imports, and the trade specification index. A paired t-test was employed to measure the impact before and after the signing of RCEP.
 Findings - The results show that the trade characteristics of partner countries, including Korea, China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, are influenced by factors such as comparative advantage, industrial situation, and local market demand, as aligned with the industrial development stage of ASEAN countries.
 Research Implications - Despite the RCEP agreement, Korea appears inclined to enhance trade, particularly with less developed ASEAN countries, in order to offset solidifications within the domestic industry, high wages, and intensifying competition with China. In addition, except for the electronics industry, Korea’s contribution to the expansion of ASEAN market demand is limited. To foster a global value chain in ASEAN and broaden the ASEAN market, Korea needs to focus on product diversification targeting lower-income groups that share characteristics similar to those found at bottom of the pyramid, and establish systematic economic cooperation with other ASEAN countries which are not yet prepared for industrialization for sustainable economic development.
