Resource support of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises for space industry development in Russia

This study deals with the features of using the potential of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) for the development of the space industry in Russia. The task of increasing the adaptive properties of the Russian space industry, its ability to internal change and greater openness, is particularly crucial in the context of new challenges. This study emphasizes the special importance of private investment for the Russian space industry development and commercialization of space activities in connection with its enormous economic potential. Large scientific enterprises prevail in the Russian market, they have complex innovation management system and are often oriented towards large projects. Due to this reason, the number of innovations in these structures is not as great as in small and medium-sized enterprises. We analyzed the activities of small and medium-sized innovative enterprises in Russia and concluded that these enterprises are almost not involved in the space industry. However, the possibilities of innovative SMEs in the space industry are great, since such enterprises can create projects in the field of communications, data transmission, digital solutions for data processing, the creation of on-board systems, technical solutions for the “Moon Village” creation and others. We consider the barriers that prevent such enterprises from entering the space industry, for example, such as the need for licensing, the high cost and long-term return of startups, etc. One of the main problems for small and medium-sized innovative enterprises in the space industry in Russia is the lack of material and resource support for the creation and implementation of their innovative projects. This study included conducting research of different possibilities of the resource support tools for innovative SMEs in the space industry, which are divided into three mechanisms: direct public support, non-government funding, incentive programs for investors and small innovative enterprises. The study of the experiences of various countries in attracting private companies to the space industry provided a basis for formulating a set of proposals for improving the use of resource support tools for small and medium-sized innovative enterprises for the development of the space industry in Russia.

Enterprise risk management for automation in correctional facilities with pandemic and other stressors.

Real-time tracking of tool and equipment inventories is a critical function of many organizations and sectors. For prisons and correctional facilities, tracking and monitoring of assets such as cookware, hardware, keys, janitorial equipment, vocational/technical specialty tools, etc., is essential for safety, security, trust, efficiency, education, etc. The performance of automated systems for this purpose can be diminished by a variety of emergent and future sociotechnical factors alone and in combination. This article introduces a methodology for contractor evaluation and selection in acquisition of innovative asset management systems, with an emphasis on evolving system requirements under uncertainty. The methodology features a scenario-based preferences analysis of emergent and future conditions that are disruptive to the performance of the asset-control system. The conditions are across technologies, operating environments, regulations, workforce behaviors, offender behaviors, prices and markets, organizations, cyber threats, etc. The methodology addresses the influence and interaction of the conditions to disrupt system priorities. Examples include: (i) infectious disease disrupting priorities among requirements and (ii) radio-frequencyidentification(RFID)andwireless-technology innovations disrupting priorities among stakeholders. The combinations of conditions that most and least matter for the system acquisition are characterized. The methodology constitutes a risk register for monitoring sources of risk to project performance, schedule, and cost throughout the system lifecycle. The results will be of interest to both practitioners and scholars engaged in systems acquisition as the pandemic interacts with other factors to affect risk, uncertainty, and resilience of organizational missions and operations.

INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL MANAGEMENT AS EDUCATIONAL THEORY AND PRACTICE

The article considers innovative pedagogical management as a means of transforming pedagogical systems into a qualitatively new state, as a tool for building a new, more prosperous and developed society as a whole. The main changes that every manager needs to make if he wants his educational institution to be able to fully realize its potential are outlined.
 Innovative pedagogical management involves solving two interrelated tasks: first, the management of technological, organizational and economic innovations; secondly, managing the process of development and distribution of new highly effective pedagogical technologies, new methods, techniques and tools of teaching, education and personal development. Its characteristic features are systemic, collegiality, democracy, flexibility in the preparation, adoption and implementation of management decisions and more.
 In today's dynamic environment, the long-term effectiveness of the educational institution is increasingly dependent on targeted changes that are continuous, affecting the mode of its operation by the management of controlled adjustments to preset statistical indicators. To achieve recognition and satisfaction of students, parents, the public, the head of a modern educational institution must not only create a functioning system that works in a certain, consistently repetitive mode, but also be able to update it and thus bring it into dynamic balance or harmony with changing environments.
 The authors study the process of creating and using educational innovations, emphasizing the importance of translating it from spontaneous to purposeful, planned. It is shown that the main directions and tasks of innovative management should be considered: development and implementation of a unified innovation policy; defining a system of strategies, projects, programs; resource provision and control over the course of innovation activity; training and education of teachers; formation of target teams, groups that implement solutions to innovation projects, creating an innovation environment.
 The content of innovative pedagogical management in the educational institution involves, firstly, a targeted policy on the organization of education based on new information technologies in traditional educational institutions, and secondly, the development of new types of organizational structures, institutional forms characteristic of modern education. Formation and development of the system of innovative pedagogical management is evolutionary in nature and is achieved through the coordinated actions of the entire teaching staff.

DNA metabarcoding for identification of species used in fish burgers.

The absence of morphological identification characters, together with the complexity of the fish supply chain make processed seafood vulnerable to cases of species substitution. Therefore, the authentication and the traceability of such products play a strategic role in ensuring quality and safety. The aim of the present study was to detect species used in the production of multi-species fish burgers and to evaluate mislabelling rates, using a DNA metabarcoding approach by sequencing a fragment of the 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene. The study highlighted the presence of 16 marine and 2 mammalian taxa with an overall mislabelling rate of 80%, including cases of species substitution, the undeclared presence of molluscs and of taxa whose use is not permitted by current Italian legislation. The presence of swine DNA as well as the inclusion of undeclared taxa potentially causing allergies raise concerns regarding consumer safety and protection regarding ethical or religious issues. Overall, the study shows that the application of DNA metabarcoding is a promising approach for successfully enforcing traceability systems targeting multi-species processed food and for supporting control activities, as a guarantee of an innovative food safety management system.

How does social media drive corporate carbon disclosure? Evidence from China

As public concern over global warming increases, there is a growing requirement for companies, as carbon emitters, to disclose (and work to reduce) their carbon emissions. Previous literature has neglected the role of social media as a source of legitimacy pressure to influence corporate carbon disclosure. Based on legitimacy theory, this study analyzed the impact of social media legitimacy pressure on corporate carbon disclosure using data from 3,656 Chinese listed companies from 2009 to 2019. We found that social media legitimacy pressure significantly enhances corporate carbon disclosure. Additionally, this positive relationship is weakened by substantive corporate internal carbon management measures (corporate green innovation and environmental management systems). Accordingly, in order to ensure consistent carbon management practices, companies should focus their efforts on substantive carbon management measures along with carbon disclosure.

Innovation and sustainability in product environmental management systems

Abstract The environment theme has taken on considerable importance in consumer purchasing choices. Through voluntary environmental policy tools (product certifications, ecological labels and company certifications) the producers demonstrate their attention to environmental issues. The paper analyzed the environmental impacts, that is, the consumption of resources and emissions to the environment for a product of animal origin, analyzing the production process of the entire production chain of High-Quality milk of a leading Italian company. The Group has an integrated approach to quality policies that balances economic, environmental and ethical objectives throughout the food chain, from the farm to the consumer’s table. The analysis was conducted in compliance with the general rules of the Environmental Product Declaration Program and the specifications of the product group “Product Category rules 2013: 17 Processed liquid milk and cream - UN CPC code 221”, using the cycle analysis methodology of life, regulated by the international standards ISO 14040 Series, Environmental management - Life cycle assessment - Principles and framework - scientific methodology that ensures reliability, credibility and rigour of the environmental declaration. Despite the initiatives undertaken by the Granarolo Group regarding the environmental improvements of its products and services for the mitigation of the environmental impact, our forecasts have been confirmed, the product - organic milk still has a very high-water footprint. Therefore, the environmental efforts of individual companies are not enough, but consumers’ dietary habits must also change.

Adoption of new household waste management technologies: The role of financial incentives and pro-environmental behavior

New technological solutions can encourage lower household waste production and higher levels of waste separation. This paper focuses on analyzing the role of different behavioral factors, such as empowerment and pro-environmental behavior (PEB), have on citizens' intention to use a novel household waste management and separation system and how these interact with the financial incentives typically applied in this area, pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) and save-as-you-throw (SAYT). The proposed model was tested in Portugal using the structural equation modeling approach. Survey data from 400 respondents found that empowerment plays a vital role in adopting an innovative waste management system. The research discerns pro-environmental behavior (PEB) both as an antecedent and a moderator between system use and empowerment, system use and behavioral intention, and also between system use and financial incentives. We discovered that for people with low perceived PEB, PAYT actually reduces the use of the new waste management system, while SAYT can increase the use of the system. Furthermore, increasing the empowerment of users in the system can work exceptionally well at encouraging consumers that already have a high level of PEB. The paper concludes with a discussion section about the developed framework's application and implication in the waste management sector. This study is valuable for understanding how citizens will adopt a new waste management system and essential for encouraging citizens to engage in recycling behavior regularly.

Scalability and Replicability for Smart Grid Innovation Projects and the Improvement of Renewable Energy Sources Exploitation: The FLEXITRANSTORE Case

In this paper, detailed scalability and replicability plans have been developed to facilitate the adoption of innovation technologies in the pan-EU market. Smart grid development must enable both information and power exchange between suppliers and customers, thanks to the enormous innovation in intelligent communication, monitoring, and management systems. Implementing physical infrastructure alone is not enough, but a smart grid must include new business models and new regulations. In recent years, the number, participants, and scope of smart grid initiatives have increased, with different goals and results. FLEXITRANSTORE project integrates hardware and software solutions in all areas of the transmission system and wholesale markets, unleashing the potential for full flexibility of power systems and promoting the penetration of renewable energy sources and pan-EU markets. Full deployment of these demonstrated solutions requires a reasonable level of scalability and replicability to prevent project demonstrators from continuing local experimental exercises. Scalability and replicability are fundamental requirements for successful scaling-up and replication. Therefore, scalability and replicability enable or at least reduce barriers to the growth and reuse of project demonstrator results.

The Public Sector Accountant in Budgeting Process by Commitment: Making Budgets Real For Innovative Management System and Improved Employees’ Performance in 21st Century Developing Economies

A public sector accountant occupies a conspicuous position in the management system of public sector institutions. If there is anything that makes the position of an accountant felt in any public sector setting, it is the budget. The view of human nature held by a public sector accountant and his preferred style of leadership (authoritarian or humanistic) will determine to a great extent the nature of a budget. Employees in public sector institutions will react negatively to the authoritarian accountant budget but in an organization where the budget maker (accountant) is humanistic, organizational effectiveness is achieved. While conceding the fact that certain public sector settings may require a certain element of authoritarian budgetary system, the writer of this paper submits that the commitment of all levels of the organization in setting their budget goals produces better results as far as the effectiveness and efficiency of budgetary system are concerned. The unconcerned attitude of public sector accountants towards current researches in budgetary theory and practice, the falling standard of work morale and motivation, the declining trend of performance standards in public sector institutions, the magnitude of corruption and consequential economic depression in many developing economies have raised serious concern. The writer of this paper asserts: In the public sector of a developing economy (such as Nigeria), budgeting by commitment is admittedly a cure. Committing the employees in the budgeting process will make the budget real. It will harness the budgetary system, trigger budget acceptance, boost work morale and motivation, secure the goals-loop, strengthen interpersonal trust and shared feeling of confidence among organizational participants and ultimately steer the efforts of all organizational members towards improved performance. But these benefits do not automatically arise from the budgeting process. They must be worked for.

Examining Google Classroom-assisted blended learning in Indonesian EFL grammar classes

The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of Google Classroom-assisted blended learning in two EFL grammar classes. It investigates the difference between EFL students’ grammar mastery applying blended learning and discussion method. Framed in experimental research, this study recruited 52 EFL student teachers in an Indonesian university to participate. Data were garnered through multiple choice tests. Study findings reveal that the significance value of paired sample t-test was 0.00 < 0.05, showing that there was significant influence of blended learning toward the EFL students’ grammar mastery. The significance value of t-test (2.029) > t-table (0.2732) indicates that there was a difference in the students’ grammar mastery after giving treatment in experimental and control groups. The N-gain value was 0.1164 > 0.7, proving that Google Classroom-aided blended learning was effective to foster the students’ grammar mastery. Since the t-test (2.029) > t-table (0.2732), H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected. This means that Google Classroom-assisted blended learning gave a positive impact on the students’ grammar mastery. This study concludes with some empirical evidence that Google Classroom-mediated blended learning is promoted to be an innovative learning management system in EFL classes to boost students’ grammar mastery.

Design of Teaching Quality Analysis and Management System for PE Courses Based on Data-Mining Algorithm.

Advances in network technology have led to extensive information technology construction work in all walks of life; universities, as a key component of national development, cannot be overlooked in this regard. In today's universities, the Web-based integrated academic management information system is widely used, promoting higher education management system innovation and improving the management level of education departments and teaching management. The traditional management mode is incapable of locating “knowledge” in the mountains of student transcripts, and the original management mode must be improved. In business, finance, insurance, marketing, and other fields, digital exploration technology is widely used. This article describes the design approach for a data mining-based analysis and management system for PE course teaching quality, as well as the application of information technology and data mining technology in PE by combining actual PE teaching in schools, with the goal of realizing a data mining-based PE performance management system to serve PE teaching in schools and improve PE teaching quality. The results show that the time required to find frequent itemsets using a traditional algorithm running on a single machine, as well as the time required to scan the database several times for frequent itemset search in a distributed cluster of 20 computing nodes, is significantly longer than that required by the data mining algorithm. As a result, the proposed sports performance management system is functional, simple, and scalable, with each functional module operating independently and cooperatively, reflecting the concept of “high cohesion and low coupling.”

A multidisciplinary approach to assess environmental and economic impact of conventional and innovative vineyards management systems in Northern Italy

Viticulture is gradually shifting to more sustainable production systems and a fair number of studies aim at assessing the environmental impacts of different technologies and techniques adopted in the wine production through the Life Cycle Assessment approach. The main environmental issues identified are on water, soil and energy use, management of organic and inorganic solid waste streams, greenhouse gas emissions and use of chemicals. Precision viticulture (PV) techniques can play an important role in the sustainable use of water and fertilizers in grape production, thanks to the site-specific application of these inputs, improving yield and quality of grapes while minimizing negative effects on the environment. However, PV often implies investments and additional management costs. The objective of this study is to compare different strategies for the management of water and fertilizers in vineyards, ranging from the conventional ones to the most technologically advanced, to assess their sustainability both from an economic and an environmental point of view. Six scenarios have been explored, considering different irrigation water supply systems, and irrigation and fertilizer management strategies. A multidisciplinary approach, including Life Cycle Assessment, economic assessment and multivariate analysis was used to assess the sustainability of the different vineyard management approaches. The results show the higher economic and environmental sustainability for the scenario considering irrigation water supplied from an irrigation consortium, a variable rate drip irrigation system for irrigation and fertigation. Finally, also according to PCA results, at least for the scenarios explored in the study, the introduction of PV technologies led to the reduction of environmental impacts and to the increase in economic advantages, which showed to be inversely correlated.

Learning Management System Innovation for Employee Competency Development

In the era of digital technology, it is easy to find information in order to develop ASN self-competence. Classical training and learning have begun to shift towards digital forms to meet the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, digital learning will make government agencies compete to create their own systems but may cause inefficiencies. The integration of a learning management system is important to implement. In 2021, LAN developed a learning management system that can facilitate and integrate existing systems. This system is an innovative new LAN method to develop ASN competence in a digital learning platform called Multitenance ASN Unggul. This research aimed to examine how to realize and manage this Multi-tenance ASN Unggul platform, and the progress of its system development. Qualitative methods were used. It was found that this platform can facilitate ASN learning through micro-learning; it allows training institutions to create and integrate learning management systems; and it facilitates access for ASN because it is equipped with single sign on (SSO) technology. In conclusion, several challenges remain in the implementation of this innovation, such as that there are already so many diverse LMS systems, there is still a silo effect from government training institutions, there is a misperception of the concept of integration in ASN, and there are concerns about attribution in training implementation. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out further socialization in government training institutions. This system will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the ASN competency development process in the future.

An Innovation and Entrepreneurship Management System for Universities Based on Cluster Analysis Theory

With the development of the market economy and changes in the demand for talents in the market, the cultivation of innovation and entrepreneurship (IAE) among university students has been emphasized, and how to improve the quality of IAE education and promote the overall development of university students has become a key concern of university teachers. Therefore, the design and implementation of the IAE project management system should be explored in the study, starting from the IAE education of university students. The thesis addresses the current situation and characteristics of IAE development of university students and develops a WEB system applicable to the project management of IAE for university students at this stage. Cluster analysis is a mathematical statistical method for grouping and categorising similar data. The design of a classification system based on university innovation and entrepreneurship data proposes a new definition of outlier index for outliers detected in real time, combined with the concept of CBLOF(t). On this basis, the system also implements the monitoring function for abnormal data, thus serving as system optimisation and fault warning. The system implements the main functions such as login, registration, project release, project declaration, and management.
