Организация обеспечения служилых людей Сибири хлебными запасами на пути из Соли Камской до Верхотурья в 1598–1605 годах

Introduction. The article examines the problem of organizing the provision of service people in Siberia with grain reserves, which were collected as a special tax from the lands of the south-eastern part of the Pomorye during the reign of B.F. Godunov along the road from Sol Kamskaya to Verkhoturye. Methods and materials. The source base is the official material of the Verkhoturye and Solikamsk administrative huts, individual documents of the Siberian order. The method of diachronic analysis obtained a year-by-year picture of how transportation functioned from 1596/97 to 1605. The method of comparative analysis clarified the dynamics of changes in the amounts of salary fees for each individual region of the Pomorye. Analysis. The article clarifies the idea of the administrative management of Verkhoturye at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, gives a general description of the system for collecting and sending grain reserves, as well as the accompanying duty in the form of a ship case, clarifies the features of the organization of supplies, and systematizes and calculates their norms by year. Results. It was possible to establish that the Moscow government, first from the court of clerk I. Vakhromeev and, after 1599, from the Order of the Kazan and Meshchersky Palace, directly controlled Verkhoturye. Until 1597, supplies were carried out through Cherdyn and Lozva, and from 1598 through Sol Kamskaya in Verkhoturye. In 1596/97 and 1597/98. The largest volumes of grain reserves were supplied from the territories of Perm the Great and Vyatka. In 1600/01 and 1601/02, instead of the territory of the Pomorye, grain harvests were delivered to Sol Kamskaya from Kazan; the Pomors were engaged in transportation to Siberia. The share of transportation was higher near Vyatka and Ustyug the Great, as in 1604/05, when the collection of grain reserves resumed from the territory of the Pomorye. The scheme for public procurement of grain reserves developed by the government can be assessed as effective; however, management difficulties also arose due to the remote location of the region, abuse of the official powers of the governor, the forced need to quickly find funds to resolve issues locally, and attempts by carriers to find their own benefits and avoid losses.

Prospects for Russian Gas in China for the Period until 2035

The article presents an analysis of the current state and forecasts for the longterm development of the Chinese natural gas market, as well as the prospects for increasing Russian supplies of fossil fuels to this market. It is expected that by the end of 2030 China can catch up and overtake Europe in terms of gas consumption. By 2030, the total demand for gas in China will be 390–560 billion cubic meters. m, which is almost 1.5 times higher than in 2022. During the period of economic slowdown, the imbalance of supply and demand in the global hydrocarbon market leads to its destabilization. In order to predict such situations in advance, specialists from international and Russian organizations (International Energy Agency, BP plc, Energy Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Energy Economics of Japan) and consulting companies (IHS Markit) periodically prepare papers on the evolution of world energy markets and the consequences for major countries. gas consumers. Almost all studies are not yet ready to name the period of peak demand for gas in China in the foreseeable future, which gives grounds to name the 21st century of gas transformation. In this article, a study was made of the Chinese gas market and an analysis of the factors of the longterm dynamics of demand for this energy resource. The author also made an attempt to assess the expansion of our country’s participation in the Chinese gas market, and prepared interim recommendations on using the potential for developing energy cooperation between China and Russia. At the same time, the northeastern provinсes of China, located near the Russian border, after the launch of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, will be saturated with Russian gas. At the same time, the insufficient development of gas infrastructure — pipeline capacities, gas storage facilities, distribution networks — in China will not allow increasing exports when Russia builds additional capacities. To an even greater extent, this applies to the Power of Siberia — 2 gas pipeline project. The most promising way to increase Russian gas exports to China is the organization of Russian LNG supplies to the coastal regions of China, where a steady growth in gas demand is predicted.

RIFT DEPRESSIONS AS A PROSPECTIVE HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION FACILITY IN THE TERRITORY OF TRANSBAIKALIA

Currently, commercial production of hydrocarbons in Russia has the widest geography. This allows most entities to extract and process hydrocarbon raw materials in quantities necessary for uninterrupted economic activity and ensuring socio-economic stability. One of the few regions in which there is an insufficiently studied resource base, but at the same time there are completely no oil and gas production facilities introduced into industrial development, is Transbaikalia. This situation has led to the fact that this region is almost completely dependent on the supply of petroleum products from outside, which requires additional capital costs for the placement and maintenance of the strategic reserve of already processed raw materials, as well as the organization of uninterrupted supplies and its subsequent distribution throughout the region. One of the most poorly studied types of geological objects containing a fairly large amount of hydrocarbon resources in Russia is the intermountain rift genesis basins. It is known that the main resources of hydrocarbon raw materials in the territory of Transbaikalia are confined to just this type of facilities, the account of which goes to dozens. Such rift troughs are Mesozoic in age, and their resource potential can be hundreds of millions of tons of oil equivalent. Therefore, interest in this type of objects and their further study looks natural. In the future, hydrocarbon production at such facilities can amount to hundreds of thousands and even millions of tons of oil equivalent, which makes them extremely important not only in terms of increasing the level of oil production in general, but also as a determining factor in increasing the level of energy security of the entire region.

Analysis of Selected Solutions for Sustainable Urban Deliveries in the Construction Industry

Modern cities are places where the ever-increasing human needs are met. This is possible through the creation of friendly living conditions and enabling economic exchange, as a result of which enterprises provide their clients with goods and services. Urban freight transport is an element that supports these processes. However, in addition to the benefits it delivers, its organization and impacts pose challenges in environmental, economic, and social terms. Implementation of construction projects is a determinant of the development of modern cities. However, this entails transport for supply purposes, which significantly affects the volume of freight transport in cities. Such a large share translates into a growing interest in the topic of using more sustainable ways of organizing and providing construction-related transport. The paper presents the first stage of research aimed at building a model for the implementation of good practices in the field of construction supplies. The aim of the paper was to analyze the transport of construction supplies in terms of compliance with the principles of sustainable development on the example of construction projects currently implemented in Szczecin. Furthermore, this paper is centered around collecting good practices in the field of construction transport. The goal was achieved using the analysis of the statistical data, non-structured observation, and surveys regarding construction projects being carried out in Szczecin, and also paper-and-pencil interviews with experts. It was possible to identify irregularities and gaps in knowledge in the field of sustainable urban freight transport for the implementation of construction supplies. The diagnosed current condition may be a significant source of problems in the future and clearly indicates the need for further research and action by both city authorities and enterprises in the direction of implementing measures for sustainable urban freight transport. As part of the paper, the possibility of using Petri nets in decision-making processes on the implementation of selected organizational solutions contributing to a more sustainable organization of construction supplies was also examined. The developed decision models were simulated in the HPSim software. Models created by the authors using Petri nets can be an important tool that clearly and transparently shows enterprises their possibilities in the implementation of good practices.

Китайские перспективы российского газа

The subjects of the study are the current state and forecasts of the long—term development of the Chinese natural gas market. The purpose of the work is to establish prospects for increasing the supply of fossil fuels to the Chinese natural gas market. During the period of economic slowdown, the imbalance of supply and demand in the global hydrocarbon market causes its destabilization. It is justi-fied based on the conclusions of experts from international and Russian organ-izations that it is currently impossible to predict in the foreseeable future the period of peak demand for gas in China, which gives reason to call the XXI century the time of transformation of the gas industry. Based on the results of the study factors of long-term dynamics of gas demand, an attempt is made to assess the possibilities of expanding Russia's participation in the Chinese gas market and proposals are formulated to im-prove the use of the potential for the development of energy cooperation be-tween China and Russia. It has been established that the most promising direction for increasing Russian gas exports to China is the organization of Russian LNG supplies to the coastal regions of China, where a steady increase in gas demand is predict-ed. Conclusions are drawn based on the conclusions of experts from interna-tional and Russian organizations that the increase in LNG exports will con-tribute to the inflow of capital to the gas market of our country, which will have a positive impact on entrepreneurial activity in related sectors of the economy.

“Scandinavian Transit” in Russian-English Relations (1914—1918)

This article is dedicated to one of the insufficiently studied issues of the First World War as a role of the Allied transit trade through Scandinavia. It deals with the organization of the Based on the materials of the archives — the Archive of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire (AVPRI), the Russian State Archive of the Navy (RGA VMF), as well as the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA), the article examines such issues as the organization of transit supplies through neutral Sweden, the activities of the Russian-English joint stock company “Transito”, identifies factors that hindered the development of Allied transit trade in Northern Europe. The author comes to the conclusion that neutral Sweden received the greatest dividends from the transit trade of the Entente countries through Scandinavia, while for Russia the supplies of allied goods through Sweden did not justify themselves, as well as the Russian government’s orientation on foreign military orders did not justify itself in general.

Submarine forces of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet on the eve of the Great Patriotic War

The subject of the study is the state of the submarine forces of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, in particular, the issues of the operational and tactical situation in the theater, combat and political training of personnel, the level of organization of supplies and medical and sanitary support, as well as military discipline of the Red Navy and commanders. The purpose of the work is to determine the level of combat readiness of the submarine forces of the fleet at the time of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. On the basis of archival documents, sources of personal origin, as well as specialized literature, the author analyzes the peculiarities of the activities of Baltic submariners in 1940 – the first half of 1941. For the first time within the framework of this topic, along with the analysis of the capabilities of warships, the most important criteria for the combat readiness of large naval formations are considered the issues of moral and psychological state, as well as its factors formations. This approach determines the scientific novelty of the research. When developing the question, the author resorted to the use of a set of methods of historical research. The historical and systematic method allowed us to present the structure of the submarine forces of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet, its organizational and combat capabilities. The historical-comparative method made it possible to identify the features of general processes and their impact on the combat training of brigades and a division of submarines of the fleet. The quantitative method also played an important role in the study of the issue, which made it possible to generate statistics on a number of important issues: disciplinary practice, medical and sanitary provision, numerical characteristics of personnel. In conclusion, a conclusion was made about maintaining a high level of combat readiness of submarine brigades, however, a number of negative phenomena were identified, such as a low level of military discipline, significant difficulties in organizing supplies, the need to develop new operational areas, which somewhat reduced the combat readiness of the submarine forces of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet in the conditions of a possible confrontation between Germany and the USSR.

Development of methods for formation of infrastructure of transport units for maintenance of transit and export freight flows

Coordinated development of foreign economic relations and increase in international trade are the main factors of successful socio-economic growth of the state. And in order to ensure the competitiveness of domestic products on the world market, the primary factors are the intensification of innovative activities of production structures and the optimal use of national resources. The object of research is the processes of forming the infrastructure of customs and logistics systems, taking into account the assessment of the competitiveness of transport services. These results depend on the resource provision of the processes of servicing import-export and transit cargo flows. In the course of the research carried out in the work, the following methods were used: the method of factor analysis of the use of transport systems infrastructure; mathematical apparatus of decision theory; methods of simulation modeling of development of integration processes for calculations of integrated indicators. Regularities of the organization of foreign trade deliveries of transit and export cargoes as a basis for creation of effective system of management of customs and logistic processes are defined and the methodology of qualitative transport service on an example of grain cargo flows is developed. A method of forming the infrastructure of transport hubs for servicing cargo flows on the basis of economic analysis of the development of integration processes in the form of interaction of structural elements of production systems and their relationships. The performed work provided an opportunity to develop a model of intensive use of existing and promising infrastructure of transport systems and to conduct multivariate calculations to determine the amount of resources for the organization of foreign trade supplies on the basis of demand. The study is aimed at gaining new knowledge about the patterns of improving the efficiency of customs and logistics services for foreign trade flows in international production structures. In the course of the research the approbation of the developed methodology for the formation and optimization of the infrastructure of transport hubs in the management systems of international production processes was carried out.

Organization of electricity and capacity supplies: experience and practice of reforms in a particular region

The article examines the process of formation of the power supply industry in the 2000s using the example of a separate region. The market transformation of RAO UES was carried out under the slogan of increasing the efficiency and reliability of interaction between the economy and the energy sector. However, in practice, the creation of the energy market faced many problems, the specifics of the “special product” electricity, network problems, institutional and other problems. On the example of the Altai Territory, the genesis of the territorial power supply system is shown within the framework of the general concept of market reform of the electric power industry. On the basis of real data of the supplier of last resort and the real consumer of electricity and capacity, a retrospective of the relationship of these entities in practice is shown. The dynamics of the average price for electricity is calculated and its quite significant growth is shown for the entire post-reform period of observations.

Lend-lease Program through the Prism of Official and Ego Sources

Discussions around various aspects of World War II in the world’s scientific space and memory field have continued throughout the postwar decades. Initially, they were determined by polar and antagonistic ideological paradigms, and after the end of the Cold War – the discovery and introduction into scientific circulation of previously classified sources, testing of avant-garde methods of scientific knowledge, the development of interpretive tools.
 In the late 1930s, the Soviet Union found itself virtually isolated, alone with the Axis bloc and their allies. It was difficult for the Soviet leadership to overcome the existing threats on its own, especially after the German attack. Only the realization by the Western Allies that Berlin’s aggressive course had become a global challenge made it possible to find a constructive way to join forces in the fight against a common enemy. One of the channels of cooperation between the states of the Anti-Hitler Coalition was the organization of supplies to the USSR of military equipment, ammunition, food, and materials necessary for the facilities of the Soviet military-industrial complex within the framework of the land lease program.
 Until recently, the problem of land lease was more in ideological discourse than in purely scientific. The currently available source base allows for an unbiased analysis of this phenomenon and elucidation of the place and role of foreign revenues to the USSR in strengthening its defense capabilities during the war against Germany and its allies. However, to this day, the researchers look out of focus, because of the perception of this phenomenon by veterans who fought on foreign military equipment, ate food from overseas. The authors of the article sees their task as combining these two dimensions of the lend-lease and finding out its impact not only on the scale of the large-scale armed confrontation, but also on the moral and psychological condition of the Red Army, for whom the war was an extremely difficult test.

Methods for optimizing the delivery of goods to consumers by several vehicles

Freight transport is one of the most important sectors of the national economy. The increase in the efficiency of the logistics company is ensured by the accurate organization of supplies, as well as the timely delivery of goods to the points of the route. That is why there is a need to optimize the delivery of goods. A delivery task is a transport task of delivering oversized cargo from a distribution center to a multitude of recipients located in the area of operation of a transport company. It is a generalization of the well-known traveling salesman problem, from which it differs in the condition of the limited carrying capacity of the vehicle used and, as a consequence, the need to repeatedly return to the base to replenish the transported cargo. This article proposes to supplement the traditional formulation of the problem with the requirement to distribute customers among several simultaneously operating vehicles (TC) so that the maximum lead time is minimal. This takes into account not only the interests of the delivery contractor, but also the customers. The solution to the problem consists of two stages. On the first one, in some known way, rational ring routes for each vehicle are determined, minimizing the total mileage. Based on the results of the stage, the time for passing each route is calculated. At the second stage, the problem of reducing the maximum travel time of routes is solved by using several vehicles delivering at the same time. To do this, it is necessary to optimally distribute vehicles along individual routes. It is proposed to use the algorithm for solving the well-known problem "Packing items into containers" to solve this problem. This problem belongs to the class of NP-hard problems in the strong sense and does not have an exact solution algorithm for arbitrary input data. This paper proposes a complex solution method combining the well-known First fitted (FF) algorithm, the original First fitted with reordering (FFR) algorithm, and S. Martello's lower bounds and P. Thoth to control the optimality of the obtained solution. Test calculations have shown the effectiveness of this approach for a moderate dimension of the problem.

Crash Cart Usability: A Method in Simulation & Iterative Design

Prior to implementation, front line clinical staff assessed a new crash cart in a simulated environment. The contents of the cart were assessed during a simulated code on a number of metrics; time on task, number of physical interactions, errors, as well as qualitative feedback from participants. These metrics helped researchers redesign the cart contents to improve visibility and organization of supplies. Using an iterative design cycle, the redesign cart and contents showed a reduction in time on task, physical interactions, and errors for most scenarios.

Theoretical aspects of using logistics outsourcing in the organization of medical supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Aim. To study the essence of the concept of logistics outsourcing in the military sphere, conduct a comparative analysis of the main characteristics of military pharmaceutical logistics and civil pharmaceutical logistics in Ukraine.Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of the study, the analysis of foreign and domestic scientific sources and the current legal documents was conducted. The methods of information retrieval, systematization, content analysis, comparison and generalization were used. Results and discussion. Outsourcing is actively implemented in the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the defense reform in our country. Outsourcing refers to measures aimed at the effective organization and implementation of logistics tasks in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine dated 11.10.2016, No. 522 “On approval of the Basic Provisions for Logistic Support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces”. Therefore, the use of logistics outsourcing to organize the supply of medical equipment and supplies to military units and medical units in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is now an urgent direction for optimizing the medical support of troops (forces) and requires careful research. In Ukraine, the term “outsourcing” was started actually to be used only in the 90s of the last century in the civilian sectors of the economy, as well as in the pharmaceutical sector. Today, the introduction and application of a logistics approach to resource management allows pharmaceutical companies to increase their social, environmental and economic efficiency. In the Ukrainian Armed Forces today, outsourcing is used in the food supply of the military personnel.Outsourcing is not currently used in the Medical Service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It has been found that the use of outsourcing in the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be accompanied by a number of risks. The analysis of the main characteristics of military pharmaceutical logistics and pharmaceutical logistics in Ukraine has been conducted.Conclusions. Today, outsourcing should be considered as one of the main logistics strategies used by domestic pharmaceutical companies in many areas of their logistics activities. The study of foreign and domestic research indicates the ambiguity in determining the nature of military logistics outsourcing and the volume of services transferred to outsourcers. However, in recent years there has been an active introduction of outsourcing in the military sphere in many countries. The analysis of the main characteristics of military pharmaceutical logistics and civil pharmaceutical logistics in Ukraine has shown the need to develop a legal regulatory framework that standardizes the interaction between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (customer) and the outsourcer (private enterprise), as well as to develop the standards for the providing logistics outsourcing services for the organization of medical supplies in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

МОДЕЛЬ МАТЕРІАЛЬНО-ТЕХНІЧНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПРИКОРДОННОЇ СЛУЖБИ УКРАЇНИ

Перетворення ринкових відносин в Україні торкнулося практично усіх суб`єктів господарювання, в тому числі і сектору безпеки та оборони України таких структур як Міністерства оборони України (далі – МОУ) та Державної прикордонної служби України (далі – ДПСУ). Основним завданням існування даних структур в умовах, коли ринок ще не переформатувався під сучасні вимоги, а планова економіка не досконала, створення і реалізація механізму забезпечення життєдіяльності військових частин та підрозділів МОУ та ДПСУ в цілому. Вирішити ці питання можливо за допомогою ефективної логістики та пов’язаною з нею системою матеріально-технічного забезпечення (далі – МТЗ), саме тому аналіз цих процесів на сьогодні виявляється вельми актуальним завданням. Таким чином, мова йде про узгоджену, оптимізовану за витратами часу і фінансів інтеграцію окремих ланок матеріалопровідного ланцюга в єдину систему, яка сприяє ефективному управлінню наскрізними інформаційними, vатеріально-технічними і фінансовими потоками в будь-якій складній системі комплексного забезпечення. У роботі представлено модель процесу матеріально-технічного забезпечення яка відображає функціонування та взаємозв’язки між всіма елементами системи матеріально-технічного забезпечення ДПСУ. Встановлення взаємозв’язків між вхідними параметрами та зв’язків між елементами дає можливість керувати вхідними параметрами системи МТЗ. Це, у свою чергу, дає можливість розробити модель системи матеріально-технічного забезпечення, яка буде адаптованою до нової моделі державного кордону. Впровадження моделі матеріально-технічного забезпечення в ДПСУ дозволить оптимізувати структуру МТЗ ДПСУ. Сучасні передумови функціонування МТЗ ДПСУ ставлять перед логістикою багато нових викликів, зокрема у контексті набуття державою членства у НАТО, а саме: організація постачань, а також надання логістичних послуг; організація логістичного забезпечення сил швидкого реагування.

148 Utilizing LEAN Principles to Optimize Organization of Trauma Room Supplies

Poor organization of emergency department (ED) supplies may hinder time-sensitive patient assessment and stabilization, especially during chaotic trauma activations, and may in turn adversely impact staff satisfaction. Standardized stocking systems decrease the amount of time clinicians spend away from patients, and support cost-effectiveness and staff satisfaction, yet there is no gold standard for organization of supplies in a trauma room. Process improvement methods such as LEAN have been used to redesign health care processes and spaces.

Conceptual aspects of management of the distribution of medical supplies from the position of military pharmaceutical logistics

One of the main directions of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is medical support which is aimed at life safeguard and health of military personnel, well-timed and efficient provision of medical care in the event of injuries, injuries and diseases, fast renewal of combat power and ability to work in different conditions of its handling and at different period of time. The readiness of medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the medical support of the troops depends on the well-timed organization of medical supplies and the refilling of medical supplies full and complete. The qualitative and efficient allocation of medical equipment and medical supplies is a determining factor in this process.
 The aim of the work – reasoning of the irregularity of distribution logistics in the unified logistic system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the study of the main aspects of management of the distribution of medical supplies from the position of military pharmaceutical logistics.
 To get the purpose of the research, the analysis of domestic scientific sources and the current normative and legal base of Ukraine have been carried out. Research methods are: information search, comparison, systemization, semantic analysis, synthesis and modeling.
 In the conditions of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the security and defense forces of Ukraine, the logistic function of the distribution of logistical equipment, inventory, military equipment and services (food, bath and laundry services, etc.) should ensure the activity of troops (forces) in peacetime and war time. It is the guarantee of the ability to ensure the defense of the state and appropriate response to military threats to the national security of Ukraine, efficiently using available potential and resources. Distribution logistics from the position of military pharmaceutical logistics is the management of all functional subsystems of the medical supplies and health services of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in order to optimize the distribution of the material flow (purchased medical supplies) from the supplier to the final consumer (according to the applications of the Military Medical Clinical Centers of the Regions).
 Same, distributive logistics in the structure of a unified logistic support system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not carry a commercial component, and its functions consist in planning, organization of distribution, control and regulation of the logistic process of distribution of material and technical means (including medical equipment and supplies), inventory, military equipment, services (catering, bath and laundry service, etc.). According to the authors, the term «marketing logistics» is not possible to use as a single system of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in its subsystems. To sum it up, it was suggested to use the term «distributive logistics». On the basis of theoretical generalization of the data of scientific literature and normative legal acts, the main aspects of management of the distribution of medical equipment and supplies from the standpoint of military pharmaceutical logistics are studied. The functions of distributive logistics are defined, the model of the current logistic chain of distribution of medical equipment and supplies in the medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is constructed. It is noted that in order to ensure the qualitative and efficient distribution of medical equipment and supplies, a regulatory and legal framework which regulates the division of powers between institutions and units of medical supplies and defines the responsibility for their implementation in the current conditions of the reformation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
