Participation as a Global Urban Strategy Towards Resilience

A recurring theme in urban planning and urban design, citizen participation has been adopted by international organisations (UNECE, 1998; UN, 2016; OECD, 2022) and, has recently, been reinstated in different conceptualizations, planning scales and political meanings, both through formal processes incorporated into legal planning frameworks or led by the local authorities and through citizen-led initiatives with varying degrees of interaction and conflict with formal urban policies (Cornwall, 2009; Miraftab, 2004; Kapsali 2023). The paper discusses the way participation in public space production is conceptualised in prominent urban strategies towards resilience as triggered, formulated and promoted globally by the Rockefeller Foundation Initiative “100 Resilient Cities”. First, the emergence of philanthropic foundations as new social actors of urban development in Greece, is understood as part of a new governance regime formulated in the context of austerity politics. A brief examination of prominent projects of public space creation that were funded by foundations during the crisis illuminates specific hegemonic discourses endorsed through the foundations’ granting initiatives for public space. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation and embarks on a critique of the way participation is conceptualized within the initiative and in the “Resilience strategies” of Athens and Thessaloniki. Notwithstanding their inclusive rhetoric, participation is instigated by an international benevolent foundation, facilitated by global consultants acting in parallel and not from within locally instituted planning processes. It is argued that within the framework of this global initiative, participation becomes a matter of techno-managerial “know-how” and its potential to unsettle unjust socio-environmental processes and act towards justice and democracy is questioned.

Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass Consumerism by Yoshikuni Igarashi

Reviewed by: Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass Consumerism by Yoshikuni Igarashi Michele M. Mason Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass Consumerism. By Yoshikuni Igarashi. Columbia University Press, 2021. 384 pages. ISBN: 9780231195546 (hardcover; also available as softcover and e-book). Yoshikuni Igarashi's Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass Consumerism is a fascinating read that offers textured analysis of a watershed moment in Japanese history. Igarashi makes a strong and nuanced argument for identifying 1972 as the year that marks a pivotal moment between "two Japans—the one before the high economic growth from the late 1950s to the early 1970s and the one borne of those years" (p. 3). Highlighting the multiple effects of and tensions in Japan's economic miracle and subsequent embrace of mass consumerism, his work presents readers with a cultural history anchored in the dizzying transformations after the Occupation of Japan as viewed by male artists and activists unsettled by changing norms and expectations. The rapid and radical economic, political, and social shifts described therein rival the Meiji-era projects of nation-state creation, industrialization, and homogenization of the Japanese populace. With his trenchant readings of political discourse, media messages, and popular culture, Igarashi contributes a new [End Page 369] and significant portrait of a transformative phase that lasted just over a decade while illuminating a fragile masculinity attempting to negotiate the changes. Japan, 1972 is organized into a stand-alone introduction and three thematic parts—"Television," "Travel," and "Violence." The chapters, which move chronologically through the time period under study, divide broadly into two sets: the first two chapters, which comprise part 1, draw on a wide variety of media-related examples and critiques to explicate the production and normalization of the postwar consuming subject, while the rest, which make up the following two parts, advance close critical readings of specific films, manga, and journalistic writings and, in the final case, the implosion of the radical leftist United Red Army. In every chapter, Igarashi leverages a fascinating array of cultural-historical details, resulting in a meticulously sourced volume that traces the changes in and challenges to this interstitial moment in Japanese history—a snapshot of a multifaceted contestation of radical social reorganization. The introduction sketches the entanglements that linked the high-growth economy, dominance of television, and homogenization of the postwar Japanese population. New modes of seeing and being gradually enmeshed individuals, families, homes, neighborhoods, schools, and national identity in a vision dominated by the logic of mass consumption. Television would play a central role in what Igarashi terms "metavision," specifically, a "new way of seeing: thanks largely to television, individuals gained an outside perspective from which to view themselves critically" (p. 5). No one was immune, but Igarashi focuses on men in particular. Conditioned by a social model that assigned productivity to men and consumption to women, the feverish adoption and glorification of consumerism by the Japanese public was interpreted by some as a domestication/feminization of the nation and the foreclosure of an "outside" from which to formulate and enact oppositional politics. This outside was generally understood to comprise men on the economic and/or nationally geographic margins, and critics of this paradigmatic shift "yearned for narratives that would better realize their free and independent agency" (p. 5). Seeking out new ways to parse and resist the assumed pacification of men's traditional powers, male artists and leftist activists questioned, critiqued, and envisioned rebellions against the pervasive "feminizing" power of material comfort and consumer culture. To that end, Igarashi argues, they attempted to "reconstitute Japanese manhood through imaginary heroes' struggles" (p. 6). From here this well-paced and well-organized volume progresses to part 1 and its two chapters on television, "Reflections on the Consuming Subject: The High-Growth Economy and Emergence of a New National Character" and "Circular Vision: The Metavisuality of Television." Igarashi deploys statistics, essays by cultural critics and Marxist scholars, vacuum-cleaner ads, coverage of the imperial family, and more to detail the crucial links between the high-growth economy and the emergence and domestication of television. He emphasizes that this new medium played an...

FEATURES OF RISK ASSESSMENT IN THE CREATION OF UAV FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES

One of the perspective directions of the development to modern aviation is connected with designing and producing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) of various functionalities for applying in military and civilian spheres. The syntheses of UAV control systems, regardless of their type and purpose presumes the creation of adequate mathematical models, first of all adequate aerodynamic mathematical models. In the paper results that forms and justify the aerodynamic mathematical model and as well as the results of building a general mathematical model of the longitudinal movement of the perspective UAV are presented. In the article on the basis of the analysis of the reasons of involvement in performance of research and development works the basic risks of the indirect factors and possible negative scenarios of performance of projects of creation of samples of aviation equipment are defined. Based on the results of the analysis of risk-forming factors, the risk indicators of the projects of creation (modernization) of aircraft models are substantiated. A methodical approach to the criterion assessment of risk indicators at the stages of research and development work on the development (modernization) of aircraft is proposed

Contemporary development of the Russian Far Eastern regions in the format of green economy model: Ecological aspects

Subject. This article deals with the issues of environmental preferences in the field of functioning of the priority social and economic development areas in the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. Objectives. The article aims to show the current situation in the formation of priority social and economic development territories on the basis of a brief analysis of the green economy conceptual provisions, taking into account the region's particular nature. Results. The article presents the results of a brief analysis of certain provisions of the concept of green economy from ecological position. It shows that the perspective plans of development of the Far Eastern regions practically ignore the principles of green economy. The article considers the actual situation in the development of priority social and economic development areas in the Khabarovsk Krai. Conclusions. The development of a green economy of regions with a high share of raw materials in the structure of the economy introduces fundamentally new approaches to the formation of a strategy for their development, focused on strengthening the importance of the ecosystem organization of economic activities. At present, the priority social and economic development areas are the basis for solving the government's problems in diversifying the region's economy. The first results of realization of the projects of creation of the priority social and economic development areas in the Khabarovsk Krai allow to note the progress in transformation of the production structure.

НОВОЕ СЛОВО В БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ РОССИЙСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ: ВОПРОС ОБ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ КАЗАЧЬЕЙ АРМИИ В АВГУСТЕ - СЕНТЯБРЕ 1917 Г.

The objective of the article is to examine projects aimed at strengthening the security of Russia through the formation of a Cossack (cavalry) army. A similar operational and strategic association owes its practical origin to the Soviet Republic; the Whites also had corresponding projects (in particular, those of P.N. Wrangel). The author of the article managed to establish the fact that projects of creation of such formations existed much earlier, in August - September, 1917, and their realization would not only provide safety of the Russian republic, but also would influence the combat effectiveness of the Russian active army and prospects of the final stage of Russia's participation in the World War I. This determines the scientific novelty of the research. The objectives of the article are to analyze the projects of the formation of the Cossack army of the Russian Republic in the summer-autumn of 1917, as well as the reform of the Cossack cavalry, its division into army and strategic cavalry. After the corresponding reform, the Cossack cavalry (including all 3 Astrakhan Cossack regiments) became the most important operational and strategic tool and reserve of the Russian active army at the final stage of World War I. The article is based on previously unpublished archival documents extracted from the archives of the Russian State Military Historical Archive (RGVIA). Research methods: archive study, historico-comparative analysis and historico-systemic analysis.

Disciplining Polenta: A Parody on the Politics of Saving Food

This article begins with a parody, a fictitious set of regulations for the production of “traditional” Italian polenta. Through analysis of primary and secondary historical sources we then discuss the various meanings of which polenta has been the bearer through time and space in order to emphasize the mutability of the modes of preparation, ingredients, and the social value of traditional food products. Finally, we situate polenta within its broader cultural, political, and economic contexts, underlining the uses and abuses of rendering foods as traditional—a process always incomplete, often contested, never organic. In stirring up the past and present of polenta and placing it within both the projects of Italian identity creation and the broader scholarly literature on culinary tradition and taste, we emphasize that for so-called traditional foods to be saved, they must be continually reinvented.

Determination of peculiarities of analysis of integration risks in projects of creation of transport and logistics centers

The object of research is the risk of tearing of integration ties between the participants arising in the projects of creation of transport and logistics centers. The specific features of the concept of "integration project risks" are defined, which include the risks that may affect the integration in the project and lead to disruption of the project as a system by breaking the integration links between its participants.One of the most problematic places is to identify integration risks in the pre-investment phase of the project, in the process of qualitative and quantitative risk analysis. However, integration risks are hardly taken into account when designing transport and logistics centers. Particular attention is paid to logistical and project risks. Integration risks combine the features of both logistics and project risks and can lead to negative consequences for a logistics project.The study used qualitative risk analysis methods, namely Pareto analysis and ABC analysis, which allowed the project participants to be divided into groups with large, medium and low integration ties. Taking into account the number of transactions performed between the participants made it possible to determine the power of integration links. The combination of the results of the ABC analysis and the determination of the integration capacity is the basis for the creation of a matrix of integration potential of the project participants.In the course of the work, a qualitative risk analysis was carried out according to the proposed sequence of the project of creating a transport and logistics center. The use of quality management tools and the integration potential matrix developed by the authors made it possible to identify the many project participants who have the greatest impact on project integration.The use of the proposed approach to qualitative risk analysis of the integration gap between project participants at the beginning of the project will allow the identification of participants with high integration potential. extremely negative consequences.

HYBRID INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES

The subject of this article is the development of hybrid methodologies for managing projects, programs and project portfolios. Significant reductions in the life cycles of infrastructure programs, which contain projects of different lines of activity and different management methodologies, for example, waterfalls with a rigid life cycle and Agile with a flexible methodology life cycle, require the use of convergence tools to form “hybrid” methodologies. The goal is to develop a convergent approach to building hybrid project management methodologies in terms of decision-making processes in project management based on various platforms. Results of the studies were obtained using a convergent approach to building methodologies for managing infrastructure projects and programs. A substantial model of the resulting hybrid methodology for managing infrastructure projects and programs is presented. Conclusions: Hybrid methodologies for managing infrastructure projects and programs are becoming more popular in this category of programs. The main reason is the presence in the program of components with different life cycles, and, consequently, methodologies that require integration and harmonization. The methodology is tested by the practice of using mechanisms of hybrid multilevel management of infrastructure projects and programs. The study of hybrid infrastructural program management methodologies is defined by the practice of introducing different components of programs. The application of the hybrid project management methodology allowed the authors to execute different projects in essence within the stipulated timeframe with the given budget and quality of construction projects and projects of creation of information and communication infrastructure management systems. Further areas of research are related to the elaboration of harmonization, integration, convergence and actualization mechanisms.

Substantiating the effectiveness of projects for the construction of dual systems of fire suppression

The expediency of the systemic activity of cross-border operational rescue units due to the creation of dual systems of cross-border fire suppression was substantiated. Dual fire suppression systems are temporarily created systems (for the period of liquidation of fires at the borders) from the resources of two neighboring countries in order to restrict the development and suppress fires, as well as to protect people and wealth from them. The objects of configuration of such systems are the number and composition of technical means for fire suppression, the number and speciality of firefighters-rescuers, as well as supplies for the liquidation of fires. The analysis of the relationships between the objects of configuration of dual systems of cross-border firefighting was performed and the feasibility of developing the toolsets to determine the effectiveness of the projects the dual system creation was substantiated.Three variants for determining the effectiveness of the projects of creating dual systems of cross-border fire-suppression were proposed. They are the basis for the developed geometric model of substantiation of the configuration of the projects of creation of dual systems of cross-border fire suppression. It was found that the range of a change of the parameters of firefighting-rescue units of two states varies from 0 to 1, which affects the effectiveness of the projects of creation of dual systems of cross-border fire-suppression.The absence of the extremum of dependence of effectiveness of the projects of creating dual systems of cross-border fire-suppression on the number of forces and facilities of two neighboring states was found. The dependence of the maximum value of effectiveness of the projects of create of dual systems of cross-border fire suppression on its parameters indicates the need for taking into account the characteristics of the changing project environment, as well as organizational components of these projects.According to the results of geometric modeling, the mutual influence of five indicators on effectiveness of the projects of creation of dual systems of cross-border fire suppression was substantiated.

PROJECT-ORIENTED MANAGEMENT PECULIARITIES OF TRANSBORDER OPERATIONAL RESCUE UNITS

Introduction. Effective activity on transborder territories of the nearby states envisages the observance of the proper strength security both on border crossings and in building and premises located on the both sides of the border. Indisputa-bly, location of buildings and their amount is differed within the limits of those or other border crossings. Besides, active public activity on a border is changeable in time. Sufficient strength of this process security is supported by the rescue units provided with the proper amount of personnel and equipment. Transborder emergencies often happen. In most cases rescue units of one state do not have a necessary amount of own forces and facilities. It predetermines the necessity of employing the additional forces and facilities from other state. Obviously, it determines a necessity of realization the projects of crea-tion of transborder rescue units. Their realization requires attraction of additional backlogs and taking into account a turbu-lent project environment, that, in turn, needs the development of projects dealing with creation and functioning of inter-governmental rescue units. Their realization needs the use of the system approach to the management with taking into account of specific of project environment. In particular, realization of projects of creation and functioning of transborder rescue units needs the concordance of operating intergovernmental legislatively-normative acts. Thus there is a row of administrative tasks on each of the stages of such projects’ lifecycles. Thus, in the conditions, when the amount and the scales of technogenic catastrophes on transborder territories increase, realization of projects of creation and functioning of transborder rescue units is the very actual task of present time and there is a necessity of development of models and meth-ods of the project-oriented management for creation and functioning of intergovernmental rescue units.Aim. It is the purpose of argumentation the features of the project-oriented management as the basis of develop-ment of methods and models of corresponding projects frames activity realization.Methods. Studies are conducted with the use of methods and models of the project-oriented management in rela-tion to the dual fire-fighting system.Results. In the article the problem of development of models and methods of the project-oriented management dealing with creation and functioning of transborder rescue units is outlined in the process of realization of corresponding60 Вісник ЛДУБЖД, №19, 2019projects. For the decision of the outlined problem a conceptually new schema of intercommunications in the projects of rescue units creation was offered:– core of project, which consists of transborder projects of technogenic safety on the transborder territories, devel-opment of scientific innovations in the civil defence, cooperation of rescue units and government bodies. In general the internal environment of the project of creation of rescue unit will include such constituents as:– financing mechanism of the project (the main point here is the project budget, costs for the control and preven-tion of emergencies in the transborder areas, management of rescue units, which is characterized by a team of trained, skilled workers); social status (defined by providing standard living conditions for all participants involved in the pro-ject, including social security, wage provision, and rest conditions); authorities of neighboring states (providing various support to all project participants on the part of the leadership of both states); information system and control system (compliance with control and fulfillment of all tasks assigned to the project).It is established that the project of creation of transborder rescue units contains components that can be imple-mented as separate sub-projects. Preferably there can be four such sub-projects:- the project of attracting additional internal forces and means;- the project of attracting additional internal forces and facilities at the border of the neighboring state;- the project of attracting additional internal forces and means of the neighboring state;- the project of attracting additional internal forces and means of several states.Conclusions. According to the results of the work, the following conclusions can be drawn:1. The analysis of the structure works projects establishment and operation of cross-border operational and rescue units made it possible to highlight the defining components that affect the efficiency of relevant projects and reduce time to implement them (duration emergency situations).2. It is established that the efficiency of cross-border projects of the rescue units creation is derived from the ap-proval process of interaction and professionalism of both countries, as well as project design and their turbulent project environment.3. The results of the studies are the basis of development and improvement of models and methods of project man-agement dealing with creation and functioning of transborder rescue units, which should be based on modeling their ac-tions and predicting turbulent project environment.

ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF STEVEDORING ACTIVITY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE ON THE BASIS OF QUEUEING AND STORAGE THEORIES

Topicality. Recent economic-organizational transformations in maritime branch of Ukrainian economics influenced the essential changes in the system of its management, leads up to essential decreasing of state regulation of transportation and transshipment of cargo, to appearance of set independent shipping and stevedoring companies of ports terminals. This fact leads up to the national competition environment�s formation and to increasing the competition in international transportation market. Under these circumstances the Ukrainian enterprises of maritime sector of economics, in particular stevedoring companies of ports terminals are subjected to influences of market�s instability and are faced to necessity of effective regulation of their development from the side of Ministry of infrastructure of Ukraine. One of the main specific features of competition struggle among operators of port�s terminals is necessity of their participation in logistic supply chains of cargo delivery what can strengths their competitive position in the market of stevedoring service. Under modern conditions the successful stevedoring activity is determined by ability of the companies to exchangeable market�s conditions adaptation. Variability of market�s environment in the sphere of stevedoring service demands application of new methods of management of cargo transshipment which must be based on adaptation and flexibility not only managerial decisions but organization structure of stevedoring company itself. When developing the managerial decisions related to port�s infrastructure development it is necessary to take into account the uncertainty of market�s environment and force major factors that are inherent to maritime business, as well. That is why for increasing the effectiveness of Ukrainian stevedoring companies activities the corresponding researches are needed that will allow to develop the conceptual foundations of this activities in the sea ports of regions and corresponding methodical aids that can be used by ports operators and administrations of Ukrainian commercial sea ports in their everyday activity. Despite of the existence of number theoretical and applied works in the field of stevedoring companies activity and economic justification of projects of creation or reconstruction of port�s terminals there exists a lot of unsolved problems concerning methodological foundation of priority directions of ports infrastructure elements development under market�s uncertainty, risks and competition. Aim and tasks. The aim of article is development of method for optimal distribution of investments among port terminals in a region under random fluctuation of cargo flows and competition taking into account the method NPV � Net Present Value � for evaluation of economic results of stevedoring activities. Research results. The methodical approach is proposed for optimal distribution of investments determination directed on creation of berths for terminals of seaports located in same region. It is based on results of queuing and storage theories. The ports terminals are presented as the multi-channel queuing systems of the Poisson-Erlang type with warehouses for cargo storage. Besides, it is supposed that rates of Poisson streams of ships are the non-decreasing functions of number of berths of corresponding terminal. The method of mean current profit of terminal�s operator determination is proposed (for steady-state regime) and discrete optimization problem for number of berths determination is formulated under restricted investment fund. Conclusions. The method of optimal distribution of investments directed on development of ports terminals of a region is proposed. It may be a tool for decision making for State Administration of Sea Ports. Its application allow to increase the effectiveness of terminal operators activity under random fluctuation of cargo flows and taking into account possibility of their ruin. The method proposed id based on results of queueing and storage theories. In the further researches in this direction it is interesting, from theoretical and practical points of view, its generalization for the case of competition among terminals operators.

Development of the model of the proactive approach in creation of distributed information systems

We discuss an integrated approach to complex projects management, creating distributed information systems, which is based on the analysis of the relationship of project management processes, product creation, management of interested parties and external environment. We analyzed the features of project implementation on the development of distributed information systems that are subject to the significant number of complex effects from the turbulent external environment and project response to these effects. To solve the resulting problems, a proactive approach was proposed. The work has identified and formalized basic structural elements of models of complex projects of creation of distributed information systems. A conceptual model was built, which facilitated research of the effect of the turbulent environment of the project on all elements of the model. The key branches of knowledge of this effect are identified. We developed the structural model of components in distributed information systems using cloud technologies and design approach, which takes into account the response to dynamic changes and turbulence of the external environment. The mathematical model of the process of creating a complex IT product is constructed, taking into account the influence of the turbulent external environment of the project, the main characteristics and parameters are determined. We performed the modeling of objective functions of the mathematical model of the process of creating a complex IT product. The algorithm of change management based on the proactive approach in the projects of creating distributed information systems is proposed, taking into account monitoring of the project implementation environment and identification of three types of possible events. The studies confirmed the effectiveness of using a proactive approach in projects of creation of distributed information systems, which will allow using the proposed model for managing complex IT projects.

Incentive schemes in development of socio-economic systems

The paper is devoted to the study of incentive schemes when developing socio-economic systems. The article analyzes the existing incentive schemes. It is established that the traditional incentive mechanisms do not fully take into account the specifics of the creation of each socio-economic system and, as a rule, are difficult to implement. The incentive schemes based on the full-scale simulation approach, which allow the most complete information from the existing projects of creation of socio-economic systems to be extracted, are proposed. The statement of the problem is given, the method and algorithm of the full-scale simulation study of the efficiency of incentive functions is developed. The results of the study are presented. It is shown that the use of quadratic and piecewise linear functions of incentive allows the time and costs for creating social and economic systems to be reduced by 10%-15%.

Models of project management in electronic project management

Creation and implementation of electronic project management is possible only when management processes will be based on computer methods of collecting, processing and using information for management decisions making. Therefore, we consider models that are suitable for management of projects of creation and providsion of information resources in terms of electronic project management. The application variants of creation and provision of informational resources of management models and corresponding management classes of projects of creation and provision of information resources are shown. It is determined that the management class of a project is a plurality of subclasses of projects that are formed by the above features and for which the same type of methods and controls are applied. The following management models are considered: a hierarchical model that is characteristic of the processes of information collection and integration; algorithmic model, which is used mainly for projects implemented in the software and information environment; an iterative model, based on reusing of information resource planning and control operations with a parallel analysis of the results obtained and the correction of the previous stages; and the linear model most often applied to projects in which management costs should be minimal. Formalized definition of each model, as well as characteristics of its application. The calculation of the terms of the projects for each model of management is shown. It is noted that the direction for further research is the development of a method for establishing links between the description of such a project and management models

А. С. Николаев в Институте внешкольного образования: проект «Музея по архивному делу»

The article is devoted to the work Alexander S. Nikolaev (1877 – 1934) in the Petrograd Institute of Out-of-School Education in late 1910s – early 1920s. His teaching activities at the Institute and the place of archival issues in the program of its museum department have been studied on the basis of archival documents. The Institute initially focused on training of instructors and employees of cultural institutions, school teachers for adults and universities professors. The Institute had a museum section (department – faculty), on the basis of which several exemplary workshops for creating of manuals and their mastering were to be organized. That is the context in which A. S. Nikolaev’s projects of archival museum creation should be studied. One of such projects worked out by Nikolaev at that time has gone unnoticed until its publication in the Appendix. The connection of this project with the development level of museum affairs of the period is shown. Nikolaev's aspiration to show evolution of archiving and to follow fond formation stage by stage and his use of photographic and graphic materials are also noted. Moreover, it is the first assessment of the work of the Institute as one of the centers for teaching archiving in late 1910s – early 1920s.Training at the museum department of the Institute included a number of courses in both archiving and preservation of documentary monuments. This was due not only to the traditional proximity of archiving and museum work, but also to the circumstances of the first post-revolutionary years. Many museums (located in palaces and mansions of nobility) acquired valuable archival collections. They looked for an opportunity to use these in their scientific activities and exhibitions. The latter was due to the emphasis put on history of daily life and introduction of sociological method in museum work.

Conceptual bases of creation of a system of information projects electronic management

In practice not all projects are successfully completed. This is due to the negative impact of human factors on the project process. To reduce this effect, the author proposed to use an electronic project management (e-PM), which is used for projects of creation and provision of information resources management. It was analyzed current e-PM research in the world. It was shown that today there are both scientific and commercial development of e-PM. The author of the article offers his view of the electronic project management. It was provided basic concepts and determining of e-PM. It was noted that the creation and implementation of electronic project management is only possible when the management processes will be based on computer methods of data collection, processing and use of information for executing decision-making. Therefore, to implement the technology of electronic project management it is need to apply an electronic project manager, which is a program-information system that implements project management process in e-PM automatically. It was shown methods for implementing electronic project manager, which include management models, terms calculation and workforce management of project of creation and provision of information resources. Also electronic project manager functions that used as part of organization and methodological measures of project-oriented enterprise in project activity realization was defined. It was determined that for applied use of e-PM it is necessary to develop a knowledge models for project management of creation and provision of information resources through the electronic project management.

Knowledge Creation across Worldviews: How Metaphors Impact and Orient Group Creativity (WITHDRAWN)

Metaphor are a central concept in organization theory as they help to create knowledge. Yet, despite the importance of metaphors, little is known about how they are used in projects of knowledge creation across worldviews, whereby participants maintain their specialization and work separately. With a longitudinal study of a multidisciplinary scientific project aimed at repairing broken spinal cord tissues, we show how metaphors facilitate collective knowledge creation. We contribute to the theory of knowledge creation across worldviews by showing how different creative effects of metaphors have different consequences on the orientation and stability of the collective work, and by clarifying how an organization can control metaphoric creative effects by modifying its knowledge base. We contribute to the theory on cycles of knowledge creation by showing that metaphors extend knowledge both horizontally and vertically, and by specifying the relationships with the other elements of the cycle that make a metaphor creative.

Higher education regionalism in Europe and Southeast Asia: Comparing policy ideas

Regional cooperation in the higher education policy sector has been on the rise throughout the last decades. In this article, we compare and analyse two instances of higher education regionalisms (i.e. political projects of higher education region creation) in Europe and South-East Asia from an ideational perspective. In so doing, we engage with and challenge the diffusion argument common in both European higher education studies (‘Bologna Process export thesis’) and new comparative regionalism. Using publicly accessible documents from regional bodies active in higher education policy coordination, and 53 semi-structured interviews with key policy actors involved in these developments, we identify the policy ideas of European and South-East Asian higher education regionalisms, and consider whether the extant models of regional cooperation and the knowledge discourse affected their evolution. Our findings indicate that the ‘Bologna Process export thesis’ and the diffusion assumptions of comparative regionalism are too simplistic and misleading. We conclude with suggestions for scholars interested in new comparative regionalism.

Estimation of probability of risks in the project of creation of plasma-chemical elements

Basic models and methods of assessment of project risks have been considered. The main stages of the risk management process for the projects of creation of plasma-chemical elements (PCEs) for clean energy systems are proposed. The algorithm of developing a risk assessment model for the international projects of creation of plasma-chemical systems is provided. The risk framework of international project of creation of PCEs is presented. The model of analytical network process is applied. A verbal scale of relative importance for pairwise comparison of factors is used. The algorithm for determining risk-significance of the project of creation of PCEs is presented. A pairwise comparison of risk factors at implementation of international projects of creation of PCEs is performed. The normalized matrix is developed to determine the probability of occurrence of each factor. The consistency index and the consistency ratio are computed. Probabilities of occurrence of risks of subfactors in the project of creation of PCEs are provided.
