Understanding and managing the interactive impacts of growth in urban land use and climate change on freshwater biota: Acase study using the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus).

Globally, urban expansion and climate change interact to threaten stream ecosystems and are accelerating the loss of aquatic biodiversity. Waterway managers urgently need tools to understand the potential combined impacts of urbanization and climate change and to identify effective mitigating management interventions for protecting freshwater biota. We address this challenge using the semi-aquatic mammal the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) as a focal species. We developed high-resolution environmental spatial data for stream networks and spatially explicit habitat suitability models (HSMs) to explore the impact of threats and to identify the combination of management actions most likely to maintain or improve habitat suitability over the next 50years in greater Melbourne, Australia. We developed and evaluated platypus HSMs (males-and-females and females-only) including validation using an independent environmental DNA data set. Platypus occurred more commonly in larger, cooler streams with greater catchment-weighted discharge, following periods of greater stream flow. They were positively associated with near-stream forest cover and negatively associated with annual air temperature and urban stormwater runoff. Extensive reductions in suitable platypus habitat are predicted to occur under urbanization and climate change scenarios, with the greatest threat expected from reduced streamflows. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining flow regimes as part of conserving platypus in the region; however, substantial additional benefit is predicted by concurrent riparian revegetation and urban stormwater management efforts (that also have the potential to contribute to the streamflow objectives). Provision of adequate streamflows in a future with increasing water demands and water security requirements will likely require creative integrated water management solutions. Our high-resolution stream network and HSMs have allowed predictions of potential range-shifts due to urban expansion and climate change impacts at management-relevant scales and at the whole-of-landscape scale. This has enabled systematic strategic planning, priority action planning and target setting in strategic policy development.

Developing the approaches to monitoring of risks of failure to achieve the national development objective ‘Digital Transformation’ in the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation

Subject. The article investigates identification of risks that prevent the achievement of national development objectives and implementation of national projects, as the methodological approach to their assessment is still in the process of formation. Objectives. The purpose is to develop conceptual and methodological approaches to monitoring of risks of missing the national development targets in the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation. Methods. The research methodology rests on the theoretical basis of indicative analysis. In its logic, the risks of failure to achieve the targets of national development of the Russian Federation can be tracked through monitoring the achieved and predicted values of target indicators within their valid values. Results. The paper specifies factors that have a significant impact on the achievement of the national target ‘Digital Transformation’, defines quantifiable values of the target indicator ‘The Share of Households with Broadband Internet Access’ and limits of its permissible values. We presented a forecast, showing the most likely behavior of the analyzed indicator in the strategic perspective until 2030, revealed that the target value of the indicator, defined at the level of 97%, significantly exceeds the results of trend forecasting, which is indicative of a high risk of non-achievement of target by the key date. Conclusions. Determination of risks of failure to achieve the digital transformation of national development objectives should become an essential stage in the procedure for monitoring the implementation of strategic planning documents in Russia.

Корреляционно-регрессионный анализ в системе инструментов стратегического планирования социально-экономического развития региона

To date, the Russian Federation has created and is actively developing a system of strategic planning of socio-economic development, including subjects, objects, strategic documents, tools, regulatory and methodological framework, as well as a number of other elements. Despite the institutional formation, there are still quite a few problems in this system, especially at the regional level. The subjects of the Russian Federation have strategic documents at their level, the purpose of which is the socio-economic development of the region. Despite this, the quality of strategic documents is not always at a high level. First of all, the quality of strategic documents is influenced by a set of tools that allow you to achieve your goals and objectives. Within the framework of this study, a method of correlation and regression analysis is proposed in the system of strategic planning tools at the stage of determining priority areas.

Assessment of sustainable development of Russian regions

ABSTRACT Regions as socio-economic systems face various challenges caused by global processes including world market fluctuations, large-scale migrations and environmental problems. Identifying the factors capable of throwing a regional system off the path of sustainable development will allow decision-makers to find effective remedies. In Russia, the transition to sustainable development has been complicated by a high degree of interregional differentiation of development and resource potential, as well as limitations in the regional strategic planning system. This study identifies significant differences in the extent to which the development of Russia’s regions is sustainable, the factors contributing to these differences and the ways in which strategic planning may help move in the direction of greater sustainability.

Устойчивое восстановление – вызовы и возможности для России

The purpose of this article is to check Russia’s strategic planning system and anti-crisis measures against the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by monitoring the documents for policy objectives directly or indirectly corresponding to the targets of the sustainable development goals (SDG); comparing the indicators present in the Russian documents with those in the 2030 Agenda; assessing the impact of anti-crisis measures on the sustainable development outlook in the country; and tracing the changes present in the latest socio-economic development initiatives of the Russian government. The scope of the study in terms of the number of documents analyzed was determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Federal Law No. 172-FZ On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation, and includes a vast array of federal strategies, sectoral strategic planning documents, national and federal projects, state programmes, the 2020 Presidential Decree No. 474 On the National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period Until 2030 and its auxiliary documents, as well as other ad hoc anti-crisis planning instruments, such as the 2020 Nationwide Action Plan. The results of the analysis make it possible to trace the paradigm shift in Russia’s decision-making toward incorporating more elements of the sustainability discourse characteristic of the 2030 Agenda and other multilateral arrangements, particularly in regard to climate change and environment, taking place in 2020–21.

Strategic Analysis of the Prospects for the Sayano-Yenisei Mesoregion Using the Balance Model

The article explores the problems of strategic analysis of the spatial development of Siberian regions. It has been shown that the inclusion of mesoregional entities in the strategic spatial planning system allows improving the quality of strategic studies of the promising development of macroregions. The current state and problems of socio-economic development of the Sayano-Yenisei mesoregion located in the southern part of Eastern Siberia on the territory of three constituent entities of the Russian Federation (the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Republic of Khakassia and the Republic of Tuva), in the Yenisei river basin, in the basin of the Eastern and Western Sayan mountains and Kuznetsk Alatau are analyzed. The article considers opportunities, limitations and prospects of advanced economic development of mesoregion. An intersectoral regional model was proposed for the study of promising development scenarios, which would link the parameters of investment development projects with macroeconomic regional indicators. A macroeconomic assessment of the impact of projects on indicators of social and economic development of territories has been performed

Innovative Activity: State Regulatory Legal Acts and Possibilities of Their Application in Library Practice

Innovative ways of the development of libraries is a topic that has a sufficient degree of elaboration. However, the documents that provide regulatory and strategic support for the creation and implementation of innovations, as well as the boundaries of their applicability in the library sphere, are not sufficiently examined. The article presents the regulatory legal acts and documents of the strategic planning system that influence the development of libraries and can be used to create and implement sectoral library development programs. Most of these documents have status of regulatory legal acts. They can be used as a conceptual and methodological basis for creating programs and strategies for the development of libraries, given that the availability of such documents has already become mandatory for many branches and organizations, not only in the industrial or commercial spheres of the economy.

On Ensuring the Quality of Life in the Innovative Economy of St. Petersburg from the Strategic Perspective

Aim. The presented study aims to analyze quality-of-life estimates obtained for St. Petersburg using a theoretical and methodological approach developed based on the concept of the qualitydriven economy.Tasks. The authors consider the concept of the quality of life in the context of the Strategy of socio-economic development of St. Petersburg until 2035; measure and analyze quality-of-life indicators based on the concept of the quality-driven economy.Methods. A major part of this study is based on the methodology of the general scientific philosophical approach and uses such methods of interdisciplinary research as modeling, system analysis, and others. The quality of life is measured on the theoretical and methodological basis of the quality-driven economy using the methodology developed at the Institute of Problems of Regional Economics (IPRE) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.Results. Ensuring a high quality of life for the population of the region is a priority goal of the functioning and development of the economy of St. Petersburg. To this end, it is crucial to use strategic opportunities for economic growth and regional development in achieving the social well-being of the region’s population. Different views on the understanding of the quality of life as the main strategic priority of the innovative development of St. Petersburg are analyzed, and quality-of-life estimates are obtained for St. Petersburg, the Northwestern Federal District (NWFD), and the Russian Federation as a whole. The role of St. Petersburg in enhancing the competitiveness of the economy of the Northwestern Federal District and Russia in the context of innovative development is shown.Conclusions. Quality of life is an integral part of the strategic planning system in the innovative economy of St. Petersburg. The quality-driven economy provides a reliable theoretical and methodological basis for making allowance for the quality of life at the highest levels of regional government. The analysis based on the results of calculations shows a correlation between the system of quality indicators of the methodology for measuring the quality of life to increase regional management efficiency developed at the IPRE RAS and several indicators of the strategic planning system of socioeconomic development in St. Petersburg. Thus, the application of quality-driven economy principles in the innovative economy of St. Petersburg makes it possible not only to set the initial conditions for achieving the necessary quality of life, but also to develop a mechanism that would ensure the achievement of this goal in the future.

Peculiarities of foreign economic activity management of enterprises

Introduction. The paper is devoted to the problems of research of features and modern mechanisms of economic regulation of foreign economic activity of enterprises in Ukraine. The purpose of the paper is to improve the scientific and methodological basis for stimulating the development of foreign economic activity of enterprises and substantiation of the theoretical foundations of foreign economic activity of enterprises in order to further their development in the today's globalized world. Results. It is determined that one of the problems of foreign economic activity of enterprises is the problem of inefficient management system, lack of strategic and marketing approaches to enterprise management, and enterprises more often use the technique of short-term adaptation. An enterprise focused on the development of foreign economic activity should develop approaches to improve international marketing, especially in terms of making effective management decisions based on the processing of a significant amount of information data and assessing the factors of the international market environment. The main condition for the adaptation of enterprises to the rapidly changing external environment may be the formation of a system of strategic planning, which provides a more rational use of limited resources, promotes consistent development and implementation of management decisions, focuses on sustainable development in market conditions. The management staff should clearly formulate the principles of strategic research in order to intensify foreign trade in industrial enterprises, and most importantly – formed a marketing strategy for foreign trade. The main means of increasing the potential of foreign economic activity of enterprises are the formation of such economic conditions that would allow due to modernization of production to increase domestic production and services, introduce innovative technologies. Conclusion. In order to improve the foreign economic activity of Ukrainian enterprises, it is proposed to implement a policy aimed at increasing merchandise exports by introducing innovative developments to improve the quality of domestic products, which must meet international norms and standards necessary to create a sufficient level of competitiveness in domestic markets.

Сценарии социально-экономического развития регионов Белого моря.

In the process of creating a national system of strategic planning and within the framework of normative economics, the scenario approach provides opportunities for constructing goals and directions of socio-economic territories development. Being a planning tool the scenario approach allows forming the directions of regional development. These processes take particular relevance for the regions of our country that are the parts of the Arctic zone, especially in increased interest and attention to these territories resources from other external agents. The main aim of this paper is to elaborate development scenarios for the regions, which are fully or partially included in the Arctic zone and the White Sea catchment area. Based on the dynamics analysis of the main macroeconomic indicators and development trends for 1990–2019, the dependence of indicators for forecasting socio-environmental and economic development of these regions, was built. We applied scenario approach to describe possible development scenarios of Arctic regions in the White Sea catchment area. The novelty of the work is the construction of matrix of development scenarios of the Arctic regions, united by belonging to the White Sea catchment area. The analysis results of macroeconomic indicators for three elements of sustainable development show that the regions have rather weak economic development, stagnation of social indicators and difficult environmental situation. We outlined the problems constraining the development of Arctic regions in the White Sea catchment area and the directions to their solutions. To reach the trajectory of sustainable development is possible under condition of coordination and implementation of the measures taken by the state and regional authorities. This scenario of development strategy according to the innovation trajectory will allow to consolidate activity of federal, regional and municipal authorities of these territories. The integrated development program of the Arctic regions in the White Sea catchment area can be a coordinating platform.

Stages of Using Ward and Peppard Methods in Information System Strategic Planning

In an organization, there are three main targets for the application of information systems and information techniques that will be applied. In the information management process, automation is needed. This will help work efficiency. It is necessary to fulfill the need for information that will be used in decision making in management to increase effectiveness. There needs to be a change in the style and way of doing business in the company in order to increase competitiveness with competing companies. The goals or goals of a company and strategies in IT will enable us to achieve the 3 targets above, therefore it is necessary to have the right organizational business strategy that leads to the company's goals, as well as support that comes from designing IT infrastructure that is in accordance with the organization's business strategy in IT strategy.An understanding of the organization's business strategy needs to be mastered in order to be able to develop an appropriate IT strategy so that it can be a supporter of achieving the company's vision and mission. The ward and peppard methodologies will be used in the explanation of the following IT/IS strategic planning stages.

On control and responsibility in strategic planning

Strategic planning is one of the key mechanisms for ensuring purposeful and sustainable development of the state, economy and society. With the adoption of Federal Law No. 172-FZ of 28.06.2014 “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”, a new stage in the formation of the state strategic planning system has begun in the Russian Federation. The article examines the shortcomings of the current legislative regulation in the Russian Federation on the issues of control over the implementation of strategic planning documents, as well as responsibility for their improper execution. It is noted that the provisions of the current legislation on control and responsibility in the field of strategic planning are insufficient for the full implementation of the mechanisms of state strategic planning. The author substantiates the need to establish a unified procedure for monitoring and monitoring the implementation of strategic planning documents, as well as the introduction of special norms into the current legislation that provide for liability for offenses committed in this area.

Exploring and establishing the barriers to sustainable humanitarian supply chains using fuzzy interpretive structural modeling and fuzzy MICMAC analysis

PurposeThe continual onset of natural and manmade disasters propels the humanitarian supply chain (HSC) efforts (by organizations, groups and individuals) to always be on a stand-by mode with more and more sustainable solutions. Despite all the sincere and coordinated efforts from all the humanitarian agents and bodies, the likely sustainable outputs are hampered by certain barriers (impediments) which exist at different levels of the HSCs. A better understanding of such barriers and their mutual relationship is deemed helpful in improving the outcomes of humanitarian efforts. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to explore, refine, establish and classify these barriers which thwart the sustainable efforts of the HSCs individually as well as collectively.Design/methodology/approachAn extensive literature review is conducted to identify these barriers which were followed by soliciting the experts’ inputs to update, refine and retain the contextually relevant ones. The opinions about the nine identified and refined barriers are taken from eight experts based in the Northern India who are having at least five years of experience in humanitarian operations. Fuzzy interpretive structural modeling (FISM) is used to examine and establish a hierarchical relationship among these barriers, whereas fuzzy Matrice d’impacts croisés multiplication appliquée á un classment analysis is carried out to further classify these barriers into dependent, autonomous, linkage and dependent barriers.FindingsThe analysis led to the formation of a FISM model where the operational challenges affecting the performance occupy the topmost position in the hierarchy. The results reveal that inconsistent motives, coordination and communication and operational challenges affecting the performance are the dependent, poor strategic planning, capacity-related challenges and poor performance measurement system are the autonomous, and financial challenges, locational challenges and lack of proper awareness are the independent barriers.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus of the researchers was to study and examine these barriers to sustainable HSCs with special reference to the epidemics and pandemics (especially COVID-19), and it sheds light particularly arising during and post disaster phases.Practical implicationsThe structural model contributed by this study is expected to be meaningful for practitioners besides enriching the body of literature. In the context of pandemics, it distinguishes itself from the other available frameworks.Social implicationsAs this research has been carried out in the context of the novel COVID-19, the framework is expected to assist policymakers in comprehending the issues impeding the sustainability of noble humanitarian efforts. Thus, ultimately it is expected to contribute to the ultimate cause of society at large.Originality/valueThis research endeavor distinguishes itself from the other accessible published resources in terms of the specific context, the methodological approach and the nature of respondents. This paper concludes with the practical implications and directions for future research.

Assessment of the quality of independent nursing practice in Indonesia based on total quality management indicators.

The quality of management has become a problem and significant issue of the late decade in Indonesia's professional nursing practice. By implementing total quality management (TQM), the organization would identify a health organization system's performance to improve patient satisfaction and patient safety for independent nursing practice services. This study aimed to assess the quality of independent nursing practice in Indonesia based on TQM indicators. This study employed a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. Participants were 105 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of independent nursing practices who answered a TQM survey using The Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE). The quantitative responses were analyzed using SmartPLS version 3.0. For qualitative data, selected six participants from total respondents were interviewed to explore the participants' understanding of TQM. All the responses were transcribed and uploaded using NVIVO ver. 11 for thematic analysis. Leadership positively influenced strategic planning, customer attention, assessment analysis, and information management (focusing on personnel process management and efficiency) (p <0.001). In addition, process management indicated a positive influence on performance results (p <0.001). Interview transcriptions concentrated on the following themes that emerged, such as quality focus, service focus, human resource focus, performance result, leadership, service system design, strategic planning, and information system. TQM with the adaptation of MBCfPE criteria improves the organization's performance and serves as a strategic component in assessing and implementing sustainability change. The findings of this study can be used by CEOs of independent nursing practices for continuous improvement. In addition, the results serve as a basis for the ministry of health for accreditation to ensure the high quality of health care services.

On-Orbit Servicing Optimization Framework with High- and Low-Thrust Propulsion Tradeoff

This paper proposes an on-orbit servicing logistics optimization framework capable of performing the short-term operational scheduling and long-term strategic planning of sustainable servicing infrastructures that involve high-thrust, low-thrust, and/or multimodal servicers supported by orbital depots. The proposed framework generalizes the state-of-the-art on-orbit servicing logistics optimization method by incorporating user-defined trajectory models and optimizing the logistics operations with the propulsion technology and trajectory tradeoff in consideration. Mixed-integer linear programming is leveraged to find the optimal operations of the servicers over a given period, whereas the rolling horizon approach is used to consider a long time horizon accounting for the uncertainties in service demand. Several analyses are carried out to demonstrate the value of the proposed framework in automatically trading off the high- and low-thrust propulsion systems for both short-term operational scheduling and long-term strategic planning of on-orbit servicing infrastructures.

GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH TO STUDYING THE SYMBOLIC CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY FROM THE POSITION OF THE POPULATION EXPECTED LIFE

The article reveals the theoretical and methodological issues of studying the symbolic capital of the territory. In the context of strengthening social priorities in the development of the global economy, it becomes necessary to apply new methods for assessing the attractiveness and competitiveness of countries around the world. The human development index has not lost the relevance of a formalized assessment of the quality of life of the population. It affects the formation of the country's image, but does not fully reflect the qualitative changes taking place in countries of different levels of development. The image and symbolic capital of the territory is investigated from the standpoint of social geography. Speaking about the formation of the image of a region (country) within the framework of social geography, we mean the process of strategic marketing of the territory, that is, not just the creation of a short-term set of associations, but a long-term instrument of territorial governance. Understanding the value and significance of the positive image of the territory should be a necessary element of geographical research. The perspective image of the country and the region is an integral attribute, the central link of the system of strategic planning and territorial marketing. The authors propose the use of the parameter of Life expectancy as an indicator of the standard of living and physical health of the population, which forms the symbolic capital of a territory (country). The analysis of the qualitative content of the indicator of life expectancy of the population is given. The emphasis is made on the need to use a typological approach that reveals the relationship between material and spiritual well-being and the life expectancy of the population. An original typology of the countries of the world is presented, proving the thesis that the success of the socio-economic development of the country can be judged by the duration of the expected and healthy life of the population.
