The development of enterprises (organizations) was given great attention both by classics of economic science and by modern researchers. Currently, the quantitative and qualitative components of development are distinguished, as well as various aspects of development (technical, innovative, flexible, sustainable, innovative). In order to manage the development of industrial organizations, various methods of analysis and evaluation of their activities are used, starting with a basic economic analysis that reveals key trends, advantages and challenges in development. The purpose of the research is to study and evaluate quantitative and qualitative indicators and trends in the development of industrial organizations in the Mogilev region on the basis of economic and statistical analysis. In the course of the research, the main economic indicators of the activity of the organizations of the manufacturing industry of the Mogilev region for 2016–2020 by types of economic activity were studied. As a result, the state and trends of the region’s manufacturing industry as a whole, as well as certain types of economic activities of the manufacturing industry, were assessed. A general conclusion was made on the features, shortcomings and direction of the development of the manufacturing industry of the Mogilev region, namely: the predominance of low-technological industries, the heterogeneous structure of manufacturing by type of economic activity, acceptable quantitative indicators of development, but the low level of intensity and efficiency of management, which threatens the vector of further development of the region.

Copyright Protection vs Free Movement of Goods within the Internal Market of the EU

The article is about identification of statistical patterns in the field of trademarks and service marksregistration. To identify patterns, official statistical data provided in the relevant state collections were used. The analysis of dynamic changes in the certificates and the filled applications allowed us to indicate positive conclusions about the intellectual property registration in Russia. The article also provided the hypothesis of the dependency between the number of organizations in a certain region and the number of registered trademarks and service marks. It was concluded that the hypothesis put forward about the presence of a possible dependence between the number of organizations in a certain region and the number of registered trademarks and service marks was partially confirmed. There really is a pattern, that is, with an increase in the number of organizations in a certain region, the number of registered trademarks and service marks increased, but it was not possible to build a clear mathematical model of dependence.

Оценка ресурсного потенциала сельскохозяйственных организаций Курганской области

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to comprehensively assess the resource potential of agricultural organizations in the Kurgan region to form the trajectory of their development and determine the contribution to agricultural production in the region. Methods. The study was based on the use of statistical and econometric methods for collecting, processing, modeling data. It is based on the assessment of the use of the following functional components of the resource potential: land, material and technical, personnel, innovation and financial. At the same time, the dynamic assessment for each subspecies of the resource potential gives an idea of the trend in the volume and level of resource use, and the stochastic assessment – to identify the relationship between the indicators of resource investment and their return. Results. The presented assessment of the existing relationships between the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the resource potential and its subspecies indicate, on the one hand, an acute shortage of certain types of resources, and, on the other hand, an increasing intensity of their use without a proportional level of return. The study allows us to conclude that it is necessary to develop levers for managing the resource potential of agricultural organizations based on the symbiosis of the needs of agricultural producers and the territory in which they operate. Scientific novelty. The research methodology allows combining several methods of assessing (dynamic and stochastic) in achieving the final result, as well as assessing the elasticity between the general level of resource productivity of agricultural organizations and indicators of the efficiency of using the main types of resources. This approach makes it possible to form a sequence of actions to ensure an increase in the level of development and use of the resource potential of agricultural organizations.

Geography of Tourist Flows in the Republic of Mordovia

Introduction. The topic is of relevance due to the need to study tourist flows in terms of the geography of tourist trips in order to analyze and compare the directions of the flows. The problem is that the authorities responsible for tourism management in the region and tourism organizations do not always pay due attention to the geography of the tourist flow and to its optimization in terms of the interests of the region itself. At the same time, the identified trends can be taken into consideration in order to improve and increase the efficiency of the tourism industry in the region and when making managerial decisions in the tourism sector. Based on the results of the study conducted, the article characterizes the travel destinations of Mordovian tourists, reveals trends, and proposes measures to solve the identified problems. Materials and Methods. The materials on the development of tourism in the Republic of Mordovia published by the Territorial Body of the State Statistics Service in the Republic of Mordovia for the period from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed; data from the Digital Tourism service run by MegaFon mobile phone operator were also examined. The methods of mathematical statistics employed made it possible to calculate the changes in the relative and absolute indicators of the geography of the tourist flow in the republic over a ten-year period. To identify the geography of the regional tourist flow, the methods of analysis and generalization were used, which made it possible to identify the features of the internal and external tourist flows of people living in Mordovia. Results. An analysis of the dynamics and placement of inbound and outbound tourism has been carried out; the volume of the tourist flow has been considered; the features of the geography of the tourist flows have been considered; the problems that hinder the more effective development of tourism in the republic have been revealed. The measures aimed at improving the efficiency of tourism activities in the region have been proposed. Discussion and Conclusion. The study made it possible to identify the main trends in the geography of the tourist flows of residents of Mordovia, as well as the causes and features of the ongoing transformations. The results of the study can contribute to the elaboration of an effective program for the development of tourism in the republic, to the adoption of productive managerial decisions in the field of tourism in the region, and to optimization of the geography of the tourist flows.

Medical personnel potential of the regional healthcare system: risks and development opportunities

The current period of development of the Russian healthcare system is characterized as a crisis, which is primarily due to the personnel imbalance. The authors, on the basis of a medical and statistical study of the staffing of medical organizations in the Saratov region, revealed the presence of structural imbalances: both between the actual population of the region and the staffing of the healthcare system with medical personnel in general, and between the indicators that characterize the staffing of organizations providing primary healthcare and specialized medical care with medical personnel. In regional healthcare, with a general shortage of medical personnel in the state health system (-986 doctors), there is a particularly pronounced shortage of polyclinic doctors (-986 doctors, mostly district pediatricians and internists), with a slight surplus of doctors in inpatient medical organizations (+91 people). The personnel shortage in the primary health care system determines a decrease in the level of its availability and quality and is a key risk factor for the reputational losses of the regional health care system.

„Tactical Networks” as Agents of Social Transformation and Cultural Resilience in the Post-Yugoslav Region

In the context of the post-Yugoslav region, arts and culture organizations in the civil sector are still facing challenges in achieving sustainability, since critique of the dominant system of values is a part of their social engagement. Inadequate financial and organizational conditions for the work of the independent cultural scene are drivers of its engagement in cultural policy and political action, mostly through intensive collaborative platforms and tactical networks that promote the critical function of culture in social production. Based on two different examples of tactical networks, one from Serbia, the other from Croatia, this article detects different uses of strategic essentialism (Gayatri Spivak) as well as these strategies' consequences for the sustainability and resilience of these tactical networks.

Model for financing the agro-industrial complex of the region

The article deals with the problems of financing the agro-industrial complex of the region. A critical assessment of the current model of state support for agricultural organisations is given. It was revealed that when deciding on the allocation of subsidies, the region is guided exclusively by production indicators and does not assess the impact of subsidies on the financial condition of agricultural producers in the future. It is proposed that the assessment of the effectiveness of the provision of subsidies be supplemented in regional state programs for the development of agriculture by comparing the volumes of loans issued and the added value created for a certain period. A universal model of financing the agro-industrial complex of the Russian region has been developed, which makes it possible to choose the most effective option for the distribution of budgetary financing of agricultural organizations in a particular region.

Identification of the agroecological potential of agricultural land use

At present, the sustainable development of rural areas is one of the main goals of modern state agrarian policy. The system of modern agricultural land use should be formed under the influence of economic, social, legal, environmental and natural conditions of the territory. The authors of modern scientific publications on the sustainability of agricultural land use often consider the concept of sustainability from an agroecological point of view, as maintaining fertility and preventing negative processes. Agroecological capacity is the most important factor affecting agricultural land use efficiency. The paper considers the role of agroecological potential in the system of sustainable agricultural land use. A survey of domestic sources on the importance of agroecological and bioclimatic potential in enhancing the sustainability of agricultural land use was conducted. The concept of agroecological potential of agricultural land use was clarified. The object of the study is the agricultural land use in Volokolamsk district of Moscow region. A comprehensive analysis of financial results of agricultural enterprises and organizations in Moscow region was carried out, which showed low profitability of agricultural land use. The methodology and calculation of agroecological potential of agricultural land use in Volokolamsk district of Moscow region were considered. The measures to increase the possibility of using the generalized assessment of bioclimatic and agroecological resources of Volokolamsk district of Moscow region were proposed and the efficiency assessment on main crops over the past 15 years and comparison with the values of bioclimatic potential of agroecological potential for agricultural land management purposes was performed. The modern principles of sustainable agricultural land use require the placement and specialization of agricultural production in accordance with the agroecological conditions of the territories.

The Demand and Effects of Accountability and Efficient Utilization of Resources by Donors of Local NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOS): A Qualitative Assessment of Some Selected NGOS in the Central Region of Ghana

Accountability is a critical notion in social policy because it underpins a government or private actor's efforts to deliver services to client groups and execute social programs. Over the last few decades, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have become an integral part of most countries' organizational landscape which plays an intermediary role between donors and beneficiaries. To ensure the efficient utilization of resources, NGOs are required to be accountable to the two main stakeholders they serve: donors and beneficiaries. There are challenges in evaluating performance criteria, particularly when it comes to measurable effect indicators. The argument is that the impact of other variables on NGOs renders interpretative and strategic responsibility difficult. This article explains the forms and how accountability is practiced in Non-Governmental Organizations in Ghana. This paper focuses on exploring how accountability is influenced by the organizational missions and values. The study adopted an in-depth interpretive case study approach using two selected organizations in the Central Region of Ghana. Data was gathered by way of interviews and documentary review. In total, 10 interviews were conducted in the selected organizations. The study revealed that the accountability systems were both upward and downward towards donors. The study therefore proposes that donors should show a much greater commitment to accountability, and actively involve beneficiaries in the process of accountability in obtaining genuine benefits.

Assessment of the competitiveness of agricultural organizations

One of the most pressing issues at this stage of the development of the russian economy is the search for ways to effectively operate its agricultural sector, which is based on the development of a competitive food market. Among a number of reasons hindering the formation and development of agricultural organizations, the main ones are: the low level of the material and technical support system, the disparity of prices and the lack of healthy competition between different types of economic entities. In these conditions, there is a need to determine the methodology for assessing the competitiveness of agricultural organizations. The purpose of this work is to create a methodological basis for assessing the competitiveness of agricultural organizations. Testing of the methodology for assessing competitiveness was carried out on the example of agricultural organizations in the Ulyanovsk region.

Impact of organizational culture on the occupational health of specialists in socionomic professions

Socionomic professions refer to People to People occupations based on communication and interaction. Socionomic professions are distinguished by the peculiarities of the conditions, means, object, and product of labor. The study involved 3,500 healthcare professionals (including 1,320 doctors and 2,180 nurses) from 30 healthcare organizations in Moscow and Moscow region. As diagnostic techniques, we used I.D. Ladanov's methodolody "Level of organizational culture development", focused on revealing the level of organizational culture development in a healthcare institution, and a set of techniques for assessing the occupational health of healthcare professionals allowing us to determine the features of their psychological and emotional state, the level of self-esteem ("Psychological portrait of a healthcare professional"), stress resistance (Emotional stability questionnaire) and degree of satisfaction with work (methodology by N.V. Kalinina and M.I. Lukyanova). The study results showed the feasibility of developing and implementing targeted programs to establish and develop its organizational culture in each healthcare institution.

Curbspace Management Challenges and Opportunities from Public and Private Sector Perspectives

With rapid growth in on-demand delivery, ridehailing, and shared mobility use, cities are observing dramatic increases in demand for curbspace. In response, cities and private companies have proposed a diverse range of structural, policy and technology solutions to manage the curb lane more efficiently. Through structured interviews with public agency and private company staff and a review of existing pilot project evaluations and curb management guidelines, this study surveys contemporary approaches to curbspace management in 14 U.S. cities and documents the challenges and opportunities associated with them. A total of 17 public agencies (including public works departments, transportation agencies, and metropolitan planning organizations) in every census region of the U.S.A., and 10 technology companies were interviewed. The results show that the top curb management concerns among public officials are enforcement and communication, data collection and management, and interagency coordination. Interviewees reported success with policies such as allocating zones for passenger pick-ups and drop-offs, incentives for off-peak delivery, and requiring data sharing in exchange for reservable or additional curb spaces. Technology company representatives discussed new tools and technologies for curb management, including smart parking reservation systems, occupancy sensors and cameras, and automated enforcement. Both public and private sector staff expressed a desire for citywide policy goals around curb management, more consistent curb regulations across jurisdictions, and a common data standard for encoding curb information.

Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns Among Ambulance Service Personnel of Different Organizational Structures in Urban and Rural Regions.

The aim of this study was to identify work-related experience and behavior patterns among rescue workers in different urban and rural organizational structures. The subjects included 276 paramedics from Germany (average age 39.3 ± 8.04 years) in three groups (professional fire department, aid organization in urban or rural regions). Work-related behavior and experience patterns (AVEM) were examined. Influences of age, gender, professional qualifications, frequency of operation, and organization were analyzed. AVEM risk patterns were detectable in 44.3% of professional fire department personnel and in 20% of both aid organization groups. There were differences in the various AVEM dimensions. Age had a strong influence on the AVEM dimension work-related ambition. There is a need for workplace health promotion and prevention measures, which are especially useful for employees in professional fire departments. Aid organizations in urban and rural regions should also attend to these measures.

Exploring the ICT Preferences of Personnel from Agricultural Extension Organizations in the Northeastern Region of India

Although the public extension system in India is known to be one of the largest in the world, it still lacks coordinated effort in managing the links between research, extension, and farmers, resulting in non-uniform distribution of agricultural knowledge and technology. A vast majority of the population earning their livelihood through agriculture remain small and marginal farmers. Lack of computerized networks in agricultural extension departments, inadequate skilled manpower for disseminating agricultural information, and increasingly diverse needs of farmers across the Indian sub-continent pose hurdles in effective information transfer to the farming community. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) tools exerts a positive impact on agriculture worldwide by aiding speedy and effective dissemination of agricultural information. An increased awareness of modern ICT tools and their usage will contribute substantially to strengthening the extension network and expand its scope. This study explored the ICT preferences of personnel from agricultural extension organizations employed in public extension organizations in the north-eastern region of India. It found that electronic media is ranked below the conventional extension contact modes of print media and personalized contact regarding its use for disseminating agricultural information by the extension personnel. Demographic characteristics of the personnel from agricultural extension organizations such as sex, age, education, specialization, designation, and work experience were significantly associated with the pattern of ICT use specifically experience with ICT, frequency of use, training, and voluntary use.
