АКТУАЛЬНОСТЬ И ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ СПЛИНТ-ТЕРАПИИ ПРИ ДИСФУНКЦИИ ВИСОЧНО-НИЖНЕЧЕЛЮСТНОГО КОМПЛЕКСА И СОПУТСТВУЮЩЕЙ ГОЛОВНОЙ БОЛИ (ОБЗОР ЛИТЕРАТУРЫ)

Introduction. Currently, there is an increased incidence of episodic headache, which patients often attribute to emotional overstrain and stress. However, headaches can be a complication of a more complex condition such as temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which patients may not even be aware of. The use of splint therapy can relieve the patient of pain and discomfort, thereby improving quality of life. The aim of study was to identify the effectiveness of splint therapy in the treatment of dysfunction of the temporomandibular complex, complicated by headache, followed by its relief. Materials and methods. When writing this review, articles published in foreign and domestic scientific publications over the past 19 years have been studied. The articles had certain requirements: compliance with the topic, relevance, the number of participants in the study is greater than or equal to 20, the article does not violate anyone's rights and does not pursue commercial interests. Analysis of the structure and content of the articles allowed selecting 22 articles, which best reveal the topic. Of the selected articles, 7 met the requirements. Results and Discussion. The use of splint therapy as the main method of rehabilitation of patients with dysfunction of the temporomandibular complex raises many questions and doubts, however, this attitude is caused more by the relative novelty of the presented method than by its objective results. There are a large number of studies that describe the high effectiveness of this type of rehabilitation. Splint therapy can be used as an additional method in the complex treatment of headaches, as well as as a main tool in the treatment of joint and muscle pathologies and bruxism. Conclusions. Treatment of patients with TMD and concomitant headache requires a comprehensive approach. Splint therapy appears to be an effective method for eliminating myalgia and headache, as well as pain in the TMJ.

Pathogenetic and Clinical Relationships between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Sarcopenia and Frailty

The impact of aging and geriatric syndromes on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a complex, chronic inflammatory condition, is a subject of significant interest in aging medicine. Understanding the key pathogenic mechanisms that combine the aging process and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can help rethink therapeutic concepts in patients with the described comorbidity and be considered the basis of new directions for preventive measures.The purpose of the review is to update data from open access scientific sources on the pathogenetic mechanisms and clinical relationships of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sarcopenia, and frailty.Methods. Foreign and domestic scientific publications on this topic over the past 15 years were analyzed using electronic libraries PubMed/MedLine, Elsevier, elibrary.Conclusion. An extensive examination of current scientific data was carried out to determine the pathogenetic connections between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the aging process, along with the prominent geriatric conditions of sarcopenia and frailty. A significant amount of information has been accumulated indicating deterioration in the clinical manifestations and prognosis of older patients with a combination of the described pathologies; therefore, the relevance of further study of these comorbidities remains. The cause-and-effect relationship of these clinical manifestations remains not entirely clear: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease leads to the development of sarcopenia and frailty, or these geriatric syndromes only accompany chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as a disease that manifests itself most frequently in advanced age. There is significant interest in developing therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of older patients with a combination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, frailty and sarcopenia.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF FUNCTIONING OF CITY PARKS: ASPECTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND ECOSYSTEM APPROACH

Topicality. The publication is devoted to highlighting the features of the application of the principles of sustainable development and the ecosystem approach to organizational and economic support for the development of city parks. The relevance of the article is justified by the fact that the presence of institutional traps in the field of development of city parks does not allow the implementation of these principles in full, which hinders the effective improvement of the field of green economy and increasing the importance of green spaces.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to conduct an analysis of the adaptation of the principles of sustainable development and the ecosystem approach to the development of urban parks, as well as to identify institutional pitfalls that stand in the way.Materials and methods. In the process of preparing the article, materials of own research, analysis of statistical data, publications of domestic scientists were used. The following research methods were used: monographic (for a comprehensive study of the problem of organizational and economic support for the development of city parks and the identification of cause and effect relationships), statistical (when working with statistical data and analytical calculations).Research results. On the basis of the analysis, the interpretation of the principles of the ecosystem approach to the organizational and economic development of parks is provided and their importance for the further transition to sustainable development is substantiated. The analysis of quantitative indicators of green spaces in the cities of Ukraine indicates a significant potential to provide city residents with accessible recreational areas, and in some cities the indicators are even comparable to the most green cities in the world. But the shortcomings of the institutional system do not allow to present the cities of Ukraine at the international level, as well as to apply innovative and non-standard approaches to the organization of green space, which could significantly increase interest in Ukrainian cities. City parks are important nature conservation objects, but their organizational and economic structure prevails as compared to objects of communal economy, and does not take into account most of the socio-cultural and natural aspects of their essence.Conclusion. It was found that the most expedient priority improvement is the institutional component of the organizational and economic structure of city parks. This will make it possible to most effectively implement new approaches to the development of city parks, and implement the principles of sustainable development and the ecosystem approach. That is why the main institutional traps that stand in the way of further development were identified.

Development of Electronic Governance to a Digital Ecosystem

Problem setting. The scientific work is devoted to the study of the economic and legal aspects of the modernization of e-government in Ukraine into a digital ecosystem to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Aspects of the functioning and development of e-government and the problems of transforming governance into digital attract the attention of researchers from Ukraine. However, the topic of e-government as an ecosystem is not analyzed at all in the publications of domestic scientists. Theoretical and practical aspects of the ecosystem approach as a direction of digitalization of public administration are revealed in the works of foreign authors and public documents of international organizations. Purpose of the research is to analyze the state of e-governance in Ukraine and develop recommendations for improving the regulatory framework for the digital transformation of national governance to an ecosystem model. Article’s main body. The expediency of the ecosystem approach in digital governance is due to the need for state regulation of digital ecosystems. The ecosystem model of governance is based on digital technologies, and the electronic model is based on information and communication technologies. An e-government ecosystem is a complex sociotechnical system that unites citizens, businesses, organizations and authorities and uses electronic platforms to create value and distribute it among its participants. Electronic governance in Ukraine is gradually moving towards its organization as an ecosystem. Today, several dozen digital transformation projects are being developed in Ukraine to automate relations in the government system. However, cyber security experts identified significant problems in the Diya digital project, in particular problems with personal data protection, openness and transparency of digital transformations. Сitizens play a key role in digital public administration, so the goal of human development and protection of their rights should be enshrined in legislation as a priority during digital transformations. Innovative management technologies provide significant opportunities in management, but are risky. The need for thorough research and legal regulation of innovative solutions before their introduction into government processes is emphasized. It is proposed to establish responsibility for the security of data and processes in the digital ecosystem of governance. Conclusions and prospects for development. Legislation and legal acts related to the informatization and digitization of government, economy and society in Ukraine need to be updated taking into account the priority goals of human development and the protection of their rights, the need to increase the level of cyber security and data protection, the development of competitive programs for the automation of the will of citizens, the implementation of the principles of openness and transparency state bodies, monitoring the effectiveness of governance digitization. The prospect of further research is the legal provision of data protection in digital ecosystems.

Tools for the Development of Regional Medical Tourism Programs: International Experience

Background. Internationalization of global healthcare and, in particular, the development of international medical tourism, informs the creation of a strategy for the development of domestic medical tourism programs in regions, states, or provinces using various tools for each stage of market development. 
 Purpose. This article aims to identify, classify, and analyze the development tools for regional medical tourism programs applied in the countries recognized as international destinations for medical tourism. 
 Methods and materials. The study data are based on foreign and domestic scientific publications in the field of international medical tourism and the export of medical services. The authors analyzed publications on the development of regional medical tourism programs in the media and performed content analysis of scientific publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
 Results. The internationalization of global healthcare has a significant influence on cross-border private medical travel (medical tourism), thus encouraging the development of both national and regional healthcare. The existing global practice of 19 countries in regional medical tourism provides an extensive development toolkit that includes more than 70 tools focusing on various aspects of the elaboration and implementation of opportunities for regional medical tourism and the export of medical services. The tools can be implemented in one of the four stages of market development: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The first stage is characterized by the prevalence of tools related to analysis and the development of the market base. The growth stage focuses on market expansion. At the third stage, the first tools aimed at offering better price for medical services appear. The stage of market decline is focused on the expansion of the target consumers by increasing the financial accessibility of medical tours. At the same time, the third and fourth stages are characterized by a limited number of support tools, which can be explained by the relative immaturity of the global medical tourism market and the focus on programs designed for the international market rather than on increasing economic efficiency. Therefore, in the following years, the scientific and professional communities will focus on the development and implementation of tools that can increase the reflow of financial resources expended on market development.
 The results of this study can be useful to the subjects of the Russian Federation that are interested in the development of regional strategies in terms of the federal project on the development of the export of medical services as part of the “Healthcare” national project.

The main studies and publications of domestic scientists are considered, various interpretations of personnel policy, its methods, principles and approaches are characterized. Analyzed and compared are internal, external factors and the consequences of influencing personnel policy, the efficiency of the enterprise: in a pandemic (strict quarantine measures in recent years) and in martial law; the level of use and development of its human resources potential. The composition of external and internal factors influencing personnel policy, factors in martial law and during a pandemic has been supplemented. New additional components are proposed that need to be introduced into the future concept of personnel policy in order to effectively achieve a high level of production, development and competitive advantages of Ukrainian enterprises.

Treatment strategy and clinical characteristics of patients with cervical cancer as prognostic parameters of survival

Background. Cervical cancer (CRC) ranks second in the world among all malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs. According to the WHO, more than 500000 new cases of CRC are detected annually in the world. In 2021, 3398 new cases of the disease were registered in Ukraine. Currently a number of factors that have a rather high individual prognostic significance influences the CRC development. Among these factors are those which are associated with an adverse outcome: heavy hereditary anamnesis, growth form of tumor and its localization, variant of spread, depth of invasion into the stroma, morphological structure, methods of treatment, etc. Over the last decade, there has been an unfavorable trend towards an increase in the number of young patients who have an advanced tumor process, which significantly restricts methods and reduces the chances of the successful treatment. Thereby, the high level of morbidity and mortality from CRC, especially among young patients, as well as the unsatisfactory results of 5-year survival after traditional methods of treatment, indicate that the cancer of this type is the prior problem in domestic oncology.
 Purpose. To make scientific analysis of modern treatment strategies and characteristics of CRC as prognostic survival parameters.
 Materials and methods. The literature review included available full-text publications, which were obtained as a result of an in-depth analysis of foreign and domestic scientific publications.
 Results. Authors gave analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature on the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of cervical cancer patients; namely, how treatment strategies, individual characteristics of patients and characteristics of the tumor affect the results of treatment and prognosis of patient survival. It is shown which parameters, factors and important nuances of the disease should be taken into account, which is decisive in choosing treatment tactics and preventing complications.
 Conclusions. Knowing and taking into account the prognostic parameters of the survival of cervical cancer patients is important for the assessment of treatment standards, as well as the development of personalized tactics for the treatment and monitoring of this disease.

The authors analyzed the dialectical contradictions in the development of the institution of education in Russia, which impede the sustainable growth of the national economy, the development of society and the strengthening of Russia’s competitiveness in the international arena. In their study the authors rely on the conceptual and categorical apparatus, global patterns of social development and other basic provisions of the theory of Risk Society by U. Beck and his followers. The writing of the article was greatly influenced by the provisions of the theory of the Creative class by R. Florida and others. The methodological basis of the study was the developments, concepts and hypotheses presented in the publications of domestic scientists, reflecting the practice of functioning of Russian educational institutions. The development and justification of practical recommendations were carried out on the basis of the implementation of general scientific approaches; within the framework of a systematic approach, when writing the article, methods of comparative and logical analysis were used. Based on the results of the analysis it was proposed to apply a marketing approach for the timely identification of the needs and requirements of all participants regarding the formation of demanded specialists on the labor market; perspectives of improving the educational process for the development of cross-professional students’ skills, subsequently contributing to the formation of transprofessionals, have been identified.

Концепция трехфакторной модели цифровой экосистемы ЖКХ

Currently, the value of the information and communication technology development index in Russia is increasing every year, but it still lags far behind the values of world leaders. The specifics of the domestic experience of digital transformation of all spheres of the economy indicates that the main changes are more often carried out in separate vectors, rather than in a complex. This is a definite problem for the development of the digital ecosystem of the industry – a complex system of interconnected objects competing on a single digital platform and designed to solve specific tasks set for industry needs. And it should be considered not only at the level of state support, but also at the level of combining the forces of the state with science and private business. To do this, it is necessary to create stimulating factors in order to attract investment, which is especially important in the housing and communal services sector. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that make up the architecture of the digital ecosystem of housing and communal services, as well as to assess their mutual influence on each other. Methods of analysis and synthesis, economic-statistical and comparative methods, as well as mathematical modeling were used in the work. The authors analyzed current foreign and domestic scientific publications on the research topic, electronic collections of analytical research centers, and official statistical reports of state bodies. The results are a description of a three-factor model of the digital ecosystem of housing and communal services, consisting of performance indicators of digital services, competence characteristics of human resources and a set of functional digital services for housing and communal services. Conclusion. Considering the digital ecosystem of housing and communal services in a complex of three interrelated factors, it is possible to improve the quality of managerial decision-making in matters of modernization of digital management of housing and communal services. Moreover, mathematically describing the dependencies of the factors of the digital ecosystem, it is possible to move to the level of determining specific thresholds, after reaching which, the housing and communal services ecosystem will acquire an optimal configuration of elements and a higher digital potential.

Участие психолога в принятии решения о рекомендации осужденного к условно-досрочному освобождению

The theoretical part of this work describes main legal normative documents which regulate the process of conditional release of convicts. Based on the analysis which was carried out on a number of foreign and domestic scientific publications, the author identified and de-scribed the main criteria taken into account in making a decision whether to recommend a convict for a conditional release as well as the major challenges in implementing condi-tional release. Using empirical analysis (content analysis and statistical data processing was performed on the key work results of a psychological service unit with 46 subjects), we iso-lated and described the main types of psychological work carried out with convicts in cor-rectional facilities. We also formulated major criteria for the psychological service experts to make decisions (of indicative and prognostic character) as to whether to recommend a convict for paroling. From the theoretical and empirical analysis we distil certain recom-mendations whose further research and consideration might (in our opinion) improve the efficiency of conditional release implementation.

Social responsibility of universities as a tool for community development (analysis of domestic scientific publications)

The article is devoted to the problems of formation and popularization of social responsibility, which is considered as one of the ways to improve the welfare of society. Social responsibility of universities is seen as an important tool for building partnerships and community development. The paper analyses the domestic scientific publications on the social responsibility of universities and their interaction with the community. The main substantive dimensions of existing research are identified, which include the relationship between social responsibility of universities and their competitiveness, as well as the impact of social responsibility of universities on the quality of higher education. The need to strengthen the applied aspect in the study of social responsibility is emphasized. There is a lack of research aimed directly and comprehensively at the problem of interaction between universities and local communities. The relevance of the study of social responsibility of universities is due to trends in society as a whole (sustainable development) and the process of reforming higher education (competitiveness of institutions, expanding university autonomy and financial autonomy, in particular, strengthening the social mission of higher education). Domestic experts in the study of social responsibility of universities are more focused on theoretical aspects. The applied aspect of research on the implementation of social responsibility of higher education institutions in Ukraine needs to be strengthened. The main content vectors of the study of social responsibility of universities by domestic scientists include: the relationship between social responsibility of universities and their competitiveness; the impact of social responsibility of universities on improving the quality of higher education.

INVESTMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION: ISSUES OF LEGAL REGULATION

In this article, the author analyzes the strategic role of agriculture to ensure the security of any state, the difficulties faced by industry enterprises, and also makes suggestions for solving some of the problems associated with investments in agriculture during the period of digitalization. Based on domestic scientific publications and regulations, a conclusion is made about the special role of agriculture in the security of the country. On the other hand, agriculture has significant investment risks, which is primarily due to the dependence of its economic indicators on various natural and other phenomena, which can not always be influenced by the producer. The strategic role in ensuring state security on the one hand, and the presence of investment and other risks on the other create a situation in which the state is forced to actively participate in the development of agriculture. Based on the analysis of foreign experience of state investment policy, it is concluded that approaches to this issue differ in different countries, however, one of the general trends can be called the direction of investment policy of the most developed state countries to obtain new scientific knowledge and implement it in practice. Taking into account the current state of domestic agriculture, it is concluded that it is impossible to move to a developed digital agriculture without significant state participation. In order to ensure a competent expenditure of budget funds, it is necessary to establish the criteria according to which investors will have the right to count on state support measures when investing in the development of the digital economy by the latter. One of the ways to solve this problem is the development and regulatory consolidation of technical regulations containing innovative solutions, the presence of which will give the right to receive certain state assistance.

The influence of the <i>TBX6</i> gene on the development of congenital spinal deformities in children

BACKGROUND: Congenital deformities of the spine are a group of serious congenital defects of the vertebrae, which can manifest themselves in the clinical picture as an isolated pathology of the axial musculoskeletal system, and are associated with congenital defects of internal organs and other systems. Recently, the TBX6 gene has been identified as the genetic cause of congenital scoliosis in about 11% of cases. This subtype of scoliosis is classified as TBX6-associated congenital scoliosis. The TBX6-associated congenital scoliosis phenotype is characterized by butterfly-shaped vertebrae and hemivertebrae in the lower thoracic and lumbar regions without pronounced malformations of the spinal cord.
 AIM: Our aim is to study and evaluate data from foreign and domestic scientific publications devoted to the study of the candidate gene for congenital scoliosis TBX6.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The following databases of scientific publications such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, e-Library, Cyberleninka were used to write this review. The inclusion criteria were systematic reviews, meta-analyses, multicenter studies, controlled cohort studies, uncontrolled cohort studies of patients with congenital spinal deformities. The exclusion criteria were clinical cases, observations, conference proceedings, congenital scoliosis in genetic syndromes, congenital scoliosis associated with defects of the nervous system.
 RESULTS: In order to achieve this goal, 70 scientific publications were studied relating to the data analysis of the candidate gene for congenital scoliosis TBX6. Among 49 publications that were identified, 2 were domestics, and the rest were foreign publications. These studies provided information on the molecular analysis of genes that cause congenital spinal deformities in humans and animals.
 CONCLUSIONS: An analysis of the published research work on this topic indicates the presence of a significant effect of mutations in the TBX6 gene, leading to the appearance of congenital scoliosis.
 Advances in elucidating the genetic contribution to the development of congenital spinal deformities and the molecular etiology of clinical phenotypes may uncover the opportunities for further refinement of the classification of signs of congenital scoliosis in accordance with the underlying genetic etiology.

PROBLEMS OF SIDE EFFECT OF USE OF THE MEDICINES OFF LABEL

Drugs which as we hope, have to facilitate or save the patient's life sometimes cause the return ˗ the collateral reactions (CR) and even death. CR of drugs can be a cause of death not less, than sepsis and accidents. Often the wrong dispensing and also the medicines prescribed by off label is their reason (out of the instruction). The aim of the study. To analyze the frequency of manifestation of collateral reactions of medicines at their application of off label. Materials and methods. The analysis of foreign and domestic scientific publications concerning manifestation of collateral reactions of drugs at their application off label. Results. Today there are no concrete data on that how many deadly CR happen because of off label of drugs, but it is possible to estimate it, using information which is known: CR at drug intake of off label occur approximately by two-three times more often than at drug intake of on label (according to the instruction). It is established that lower or higher dose of medicine, than that which is specified in the instruction can lead to security concerns. Use of off label of medicines in doses is higher than those which were approved by the instruction, correlate with increase in risk of development of CR. It is established that prescription of medicines of off label is connected with higher risk of CR, than with their licensed alternatives, and hypotheses in literature concerning efficiency and harmlessness of off label of use of drugs not always are reliable. Conclusions. The doctor and the pharmacist need to remember that positive effects of application of off label of drugs have to have synergism with their safety that the medicine off label, very necessary for the patient, did not appear without the obligatory quality ˗ safety.

Improving revision operations for restoration of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint in military personnel

The analysis of foreign and domestic scientific publications of recent years, devoted to the problem of revision reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint in young and middle-aged patients with high functional demands. The key directions for improving the treatment of this category of patients have been determined. It was found that the main trend in the improvement of revision reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee in patients with high functional demands, which primarily include professional athletes and military personnel, is the desire for enhanced stabilization of the joint by eliminating residual, primarily rotational instability and increasing protection the main graft from high stress overload. Of particular importance is a strictly individual approach to the choice of the method of revision reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, which makes it possible to implement the principles underlying the primary plastic of the ligament. The solution of these two problems requires, firstly, a more detailed examination of patients in order to identify factors of increased risk for the development of recurrent joint instability, which must be eliminated during surgical treatment. Secondly, the strict anatomical nature of restoration, and more often reconstruction, of the main and auxiliary functionally incompetent stabilizing structures of the joint against an unfavorable anatomical background caused by previous operations in the form of bone defects and deformities of the condyles with destruction of hyaline cartilage and previously resected menisci. Third, the use of reinforced grafts of increased strength for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, as the main structure that stabilizes the joint. Moreover, such reinforcement can be direct, by strengthening the cruciate ligament graft directly, or indirectly, by strengthening the anterolateral part of the joint. The most appropriate is a combination of these two directions in order to obtain the maximum positive effect. Promising options for extra-articular reinforcement today are anatomical reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament and lateral extra-articular tenodesis of the iliotibial tract as part of the anterolateral joint complex. This makes it possible to compensate for the forced resections of the menisci and, without correction, at least at the first revision, the increased posterior inclination of the articular surface of the tibial condyles. The main advantages of these operations in combination with the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament are their proven efficiency, versatility, technical simplicity and availability, which are of particular importance for the introduction into wide clinical practice of trauma departments of military hospitals.

To the question of ukrainian scientists searching for potential partners in technology transfer

The article highlights modern approaches to finding potential partners in technology transfer by Ukrainian scientists. In developed countries, there are effective practical approaches that are not yet often used in the modern realities of Ukraine. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to study world practice and adapt it to local conditions. The article reviews foreign and domestic scientific publications on the practice of finding partners in technology transfer. The analysis of the best world methods allowed to develop recommendations for Ukrainian innovators. The structure of one-page technological profiles in the advertising description of the developed technology or product is analyzed in detail. It is revealed that the structure of technological profiles of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine as a whole corresponds to the world standards. Two other important elements in finding a licensee, investor or strategic partner are also considered, namely the “Elevator pitch” and the structure of the 7-minute presentation. The importance of emphasizing the unique advantages of the developed technology using the matrix of comparison of the main characteristics with competitors is noted. It was found that the development and placement of a technological profile is a necessary condition for promoting the developed innovation, but almost always not a sufficient condition for success in finding a potential partner. The analysis performed in the work shows that the simple placement of advertising descriptions of technologies in catalogs and specialized databases is often not enough when looking for potential partners. Proactive approach and persistent search for licensees and investors, using the methods of direct marketing described in the article is recommended.

Lean production instruments as basis for resource-saving management

Russian power companies and those partnering with the power industry generate a strategic objective to optimize production and management costs while maintaining high quality of the products and services conforming to the international and domestic standards. This inevitably requires reorganization of business processes at all management levels.Sustainable development and energy efficiency of the Russian economy depends on a number of factors; one of the essential factors is effective management of production enterprises.The key method for improving the management efficiency is an array of instruments applied in leading industrialized countries worldwide and known as the “lean” production ("lean manufacturing") concept.In the last 20 years, Russian production enterprises have tried to introduce both lean production methods, and separate tools in practical management. Large power corporations, such as Gazpromenergoholding, Rosatom arrived at meaningful positive results. Lean production practices in Russia are topical for research into methods and primary ways of adopting the lean production (LP) instruments by the domestic industry.The objective of the research is to classify and provide quantitative assessments of expected positive economic effect through adoption of the lean production instruments at nuclear industry enterprises.The methodological framework for the research included lean production state standards (GOST) and research reports by foreign and domestic authors doing research into the LP concept, models and instruments.The information base of the research consists of data from foreign and domestic scientific publications, Rosatom State Corporation’s official data and open data from professional communities’ websites.
