This article examines the challenges in shaping and developing digital competencies among the population during the transition to a digital economy, using the dominant employer in an Arctic monotown as a case study. The impact of digital technologies on the socio-economic aspects of territorial development has not been thoroughly studied, and the development of digital competencies in the population of monotowns remains underexplored and requires further research. The authors highlight the importance of addressing the development of digital competencies among employees and the digital culture of dominant employers, considering regional factors crucial for formulating development strategies for both individual companies and territories (monotowns). The goal of this study is to assess the readiness of executives, managers, and specialists at the dominant company in an Arctic monotown to implement digital processes. The key objectives are to identify and classify the preferences of these executives, managers, and specialists regarding the current level of business digitalization. Our review of studies on the topic confirmed the variation in the development of regional digital infrastructure, influenced by regional development characteristics, the specific labor resources in monotowns, and the impact of dominant employers on digital competency development. To conduct the study, a questionnaire was developed to identify the preferences of senior and middle managers at the company. Electronic document management was chosen as the focus area, as digitalization often begins with this process, leading to varied assessments by employees, including instances of opportunism. Our analysis of the responses revealed a moderate relationship between work experience and preference for electronic document management, as well as a correlation between work experience and the willingness to improve specialized competencies. There was a high overall recognition of the need for continuous development and training. The results identified key areas for digital competency development among the company’s staff.

Integrating Clinical Variability into PBPK Models for Virtual Bioequivalence of Single and Multiple Doses of Tofacitinib Modified-Release Dosage Form.

Tofacitinib is a potent, selective inhibitor of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of kinases with a high degree of selectivity within the human genome's set of protein kinases. Currently approved formulations for tofacitinib citrate are immediate-release (IR) tablets, modified-release (MR) tablets, and IR solution. A once daily MR microsphere formulation was developed for use in pediatric patients. Demonstration of bioequivalence (BE) between the 10 mg once daily (q.d.) MR microsphere formulation and 5 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) IR solution is needed to enable the exposure-response analyses-based bridging to support regulatory approval. To assess BE between MR microsphere and IR solution, an innovative approach was utilized with physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) virtual BE trials (VBE) in lieu of a clinical BE trial. A PBPK model was developed to characterize the absorption of different formulations of tofacitinib using Simcyp ADAM module. VBE trials were conducted by simulating PK profiles using the verified PBPK model and integrating the clinically observed intrasubject coefficient of variation (ICV) where BE was assessed with a predetermined sample size and prespecified criteria. The VBE trials demonstrated BE between IR solution 5 mg b.i.d. and MR microsphere 10 mg q.d. after a single dose on day 1 and after multiple doses on day 5. This research presents an innovative approach that incorporates clinically observed ICV in PBPK model-based VBE trials, which could reduce unnecessary drug exposure to healthy volunteers and streamline new formulation development strategies.

Digital transformation and economic growth Efficiency improvement in the Digital media era: Digitalization of industry or Digital industrialization?

With the arrival of the era of digital media, the digital economy has burst forth with unprecedented vigor and become an important force in promoting the high-quality development of China's economy. This study focuses on the impact of urban digital transformation on economic growth efficiency in the context of the digital media era. Employing Chinese city-level data from 2011 to 2019, we use double fixed-effects and spatial Durbin models to empirically analyze how digital industrialization and industrial digitization affect urban economic growth efficiency. Our results show that digital industrialization and industrial digitization significantly enhance the efficiency of economic growth of Chinese cities in a digital media environment, and this positive correlation is especially significant in cities with higher levels of digitization. For less digitized cities, digital industrialization contributes more significantly to economic growth efficiency. In addition, we find that digital industrialization and industrial digitization positively affect the economic growth efficiency of neighboring regions through spatial spillover effects. These findings are a valuable reference in this digital era for the formulation of development strategies adapted to cities with different levels of digitization, and these emphasize the key role of regional collaboration and integrated strategies in promoting digital transformation.

Assessing Physicochemical Stability of Monoclonal Antibodies in a Simulated Subcutaneous Environment

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are being increasingly administered by the subcutaneous (SC) route compared to the traditional intravenous route. Despite the growing popularity of the subcutaneous route, our current knowledge regarding the intricate mechanistic changes happening in the formulation after injection in the subcutaneous space, as well as the in vivo stability of administered mAbs, remains quite limited. Changes in the protein environment as it transitions from a stabilized, formulated drug product in an appropriate container closure to the SC tissue environment can drastically impact the structural stability and integrity of the injected protein. Interactions of the protein with components of the extracellular matrix can lead to changes in its structure, potentially impacting both safety and efficacy. Investigating protein stability in the SC space can enable early assessment of risk and performance of subcutaneously administered proteins influencing clinical decisions and formulation development strategies. The Subcutaneous Injection Site Simulator (SCISSOR) is a novel in vitro system that mimics the subcutaneous injection site and models the events that a protein goes through as it transitions from a stabilized formulation environment to the dynamic physiological space. In this paper, we utilize the SCISSOR to probe for biophysical and chemical changes in seven mAbs post SC injection using a variety of analytical techniques. After 24 h, all mAbs demonstrated a relative decrease in conformational stability, an increase in fragmentation, and elevated acidic species. Higher order structure analysis revealed a deviation in the secondary structure from the standard and an increase in the number of unordered species. Our findings suggest an overall reduced stability of mAbs after subcutaneous administration. This reduced stability could have a potential impact on safety and efficacy. In vitro systems such as the SCISSOR combined with downstream analyses have potential to provide valuable information for assessing the suitability of lead molecules and aid in formulation design optimized for administration in the intended body compartment, thus improving chances of clinical success.

Моделі територіального розвитку на засадах застосування процесного бізнес-орієнтованого підходу

The possibilities of applying a process-oriented business approach in territorial development models have been investigated. The process-oriented business approach is characterized as a strategic method involving the active participation of enterprises and businesses in stimulating and fostering the development of specific territories and communities. Standard features and differences between process and project approaches in territorial development systems have been examined. It has been determined that a project and a business process share specific characteristics, such as being defined over time, endowed with specific resources, and having defined stages to transform ‘inputs’ into ‘outputs.’ It has been proven that a project differs from a business process in that it concludes upon achieving the planned goal. In contrast, a business process is continually repeated, undergoing minor changes in the process of improvement or adaptation. The classification of business processes in the territorial development model has been explored. The components of the process stages in the territorial development model have been identified and characterized: analysis of business processes, stakeholder collaboration, and involvement, formulation of development strategies, integration of innovations and digital technologies, monitoring, and evaluation of intermediate results. Thus, the use of a process-oriented business approach in a territorial development model provides an opportunity not only to manage the region’s business processes effectively but also to create the basis for a flexible and sustainable development system that can adapt to changes in its environment and contribute to the overall improvement of the quality of life in the region. Using a process-oriented business approach allows integration and optimization of the various business processes of territorial development, making them more focused and effective. The focus on stakeholder participation in the development process guarantees a wide range of perspectives and helps to consider regional groups’ different needs and interests. One of the key advantages is the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the economic, social, and environmental environment. The model can quickly respond to new challenges and integrate innovative solutions. A process-oriented business approach contributes to the competitiveness of territories, ensuring optimal use of resources and creating favorable conditions for attracting investment. This approach makes territorial development consistent with the requirements of sustainable development and more sustainable, thanks to the systematic monitoring, assessment, and correction of strategies. Keywords: territorial development, process-oriented business approach, project, business process, territorial development model.

Comparison Analysis of Clustering Methods for Clustering of Indonesian’s Gender Empowerment Conditions in 2022

Gender empowerment is one of the components of gender development achievement measures that is an important agenda at the global level in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals. The Gender Empowerment Index (GEI) of Indonesia has been continuously improving since 2010, indicating an increasing involvement of women in various areas of life. However, behind this upward trend in GEI, there is still inequality at the provincial level. Therefore, there is a need to formulate development strategies, one of which is gender-based. One possible step is to categorize regions in Indonesia based on their gender empowerment characteristics, so that government interventions can be targeted effectively. This research utilizes two clustering approaches, namely Hierarchical Methods and Partitioning Methods, with data consisting of three variables representing the components of GEI for 34 provinces in Indonesia in 2022. The selection of the best method and number of clusters is based on internal validity and stability validity, followed by the determination of the smallest within and between standard deviation ratios. From the cluster analysis results, the best method is found to be K-means with a total of 5 clusters.
