CURRENT ISSUES OF MANAGEMENT
In order to fulfill the tasks of sustainable state development, the creation of an innovative economy and the achievement of technological independence it is of particular importance to find ways to improve the efficiency of public resource management. Especially this concerns the development of measures to increase the impact of research and development, and the introduction of new technologies. As part of the implementation of this task, a statistical and economic analysis of the introduction effects of advanced production technologies at enterprises, including in the context of various forms of ownership has been carried out in the work. It is established that the best research results and development work are observed in companies with state participation, especially in state corporations. Thus, one of the most effective forms of innovation economy development in Russia is the further creation of state-owned companies in the most high-tech areas.
The article is devoted to the creating and management expediency of several project offices in an educational organization of tertiary education (hereinafter – OTE). The topic relevance is due to the growing number and types of ongoing projects that require proper organization and management and, consequently, governance of project management offices. The article presents the features of educational projects and the role of the project management office in the OTE system. The main types of project management offices at universities and their functions and tasks are described. Common elements of successful project management offices from around the world are highlighted based on a global study conducted by the Project Management Institute (PMI) together with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in 2021. The advantages and disadvantages of creating a single system of several project offices of different orientation and a single project management office at the university are discussed. Based on the information from the scientific literature and the conducted research, the authors conclude that in order to use all the advantages of the project office in full, it is necessary to create one project office in OTE. However, the authors also claim the need for further research to assess the feasibility of the practical implementation of their proposed solution.

STRATEGIES AND INNOVATIONS
The article is devoted to the energy strategy of Turkey, which is not fixed in legislation, but its particular elements are presented in various national strategies, development plans and programs. The author aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s energy policy, as well as opportunities and risks using SWOT analysis. In the article, the author highlights the main elements and directions of Turkey’s energy strategy and notes that many mentioned tasks have already been achieved, that indicates a high level of the energy policy implementation. However, author believes that after 2023, when updating strategic plans, numerical indicators will undergo changes, and the general vectors of the Turkish energy sector development will remain unchanged. In addition, the article presents a general state analysis of Turkish energy sector, the main energy resources, suppliers and infrastructure.
The use of renewable energy sources, which are experiencing a period of rapid development, is one of the stages of the current energy transition, as the world community tries to ensure a future with zero CO2 emissions and to achieve energy independence and security. At the same time, for output of the wide range of products for the renewable energy sector, as well as for the development of energy depot systems, it is necessary to use rare earth elements and metals in production. The results of the analysis of data on reserves, production and calculated values of the resource availability coefficient of rare earth elements and metals shows that at the existing level of production, the proven reserves of cobalt will last for ≈ 50 years, lithium– for ≈ 200 years and rare earth elements – for ≈ 450 years, respectively, which leads to a limitation of the global transition speed to renewable energy sources and makes it necessary to look for new technical solutions.
The article deals with the advantages and prospects of implementing multimedia technologies necessary for the development of the traditional, already familiar model of education and bringing it to a new level of innovation. The introduction of multimedia technology in educational processes is one of the key moments of education informatization. Nowadays multimedia technologies are one of the most dynamically developing and promising areas of information services. The effectiveness of multimedia methods use directly depends on the professional competence of teachers and the ability to teach graduates the necessary profession skills, which meet modern requirements. The use of e-learning methods opens up opportunities for further implementation of new ideas and trends in the development of tertiary education in Russia. The technological process does not stand still and advanced IT technologies have become an integral part of modern education.
DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY AND REGIONAL MANAGEMENT
To simulate the consumption of duplicate technological tooling (hereinafter referred to as TT), it is proposed to use the apparatus of multivariate regression analysis, which provides the main patterns formalization of consumption formation value in the form of linear regression dependencies. An important difference of the proposed approach to the development of regression models is an increased degree of detail due to the use of the number of detail operations performed using specific TT sizes as independent variables, which makes it possible to eliminate the calculation error associated with the presence of passing positions in the planning period (batches of parts and assembly units ). As a result, a quantitative assessment of the constructed dependencies based on the calculation of multiple correlation coefficients, the Fisher dispersion ratio, the Theil’s coefficient of irrelevance allowed us to conclude that they are adequate to the conditions of consumption TT at the aviation enterprise. To improve the adequacy of displaying real processes of TT consumption, the developed models are equipped with a parametric adaptation mechanism. The use of the steepest descent method makes it possible to adjust the regression parameters based on incoming data, taking into account the main trends in the development of the simulated process and providing for smoothing its random fluctuations.
The purpose of the article is to identify the tasks of developing urban transport infrastructure and changing the transport behavior of passengers. Urban transport should allow solving the following tasks: the possibility of planning the travel time, ensuring the reliability and safety of the trip, creating conditions for the availability of transport services at their cost, safety and comfort, as well as providing transport services at minimal economic costs. In the process of applying analytical research methods, actual problems of urban infrastructure have been identified and directions for solving these problems have been proposed. Human transport behavior in the conditions of rapid development of information and communication technologies has been analyzed. The growing digitalization leads to the creation of a wide variety of proposals for the implementation of mobility and its use. In addition to multimodality, this also applies to suggestions for information support and organization of systems.
ECONOMICS: PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS AND PROSPECTS
The article touches upon issues related to the tasks of the national project «Smart City». The paper analyzes the problem of supplying a conditional consumer with heterogeneous products in accordance with his demand for deliveries from several suppliers in a situation with fixed surcharges, in addition to the cost of purchasing each unit of production. For the situation under study, a model of a reduced transport type with a discontinuous piecewise linear objective function of minimized total costs and with a system of linear constraints is constructed. A method for finding the optimal solution one of the many such solutions, based on the ideas of the Hungarian algorithm is proposed, the justification of which is given on the basis of the corresponding lemma. A refinement of the method is presented in the presence of some restrictions related to suppliers. The polynomial complexity of the method, i.e. the problem is quickly solvable, and the significant limitation of the applicability of the method within the framework of the model are noted. Further possible research directions of a stochastic or fuzzy nature are indicated.
As evidenced by the historical digression, economic crises are an integral element in the development of the world economy. The overproduction of goods was considered as the main cause of crises, that is, the volume of products produced by aggregate suppliers exceeded aggregate demand. The significant expansion of exports has led to the internationalization of not only world trade, but also the production of goods and the creation of new supply chains, which caused the vulnerability of the entire chain of enterprises connected technologically in many countries. The aim of the work is to study the dynamics of economic crises, to identify their causes and consequences for the world economy. The paper examines the economic crises that have occurred in different countries and the change in their nature. The methods of comparison and statistical analysis were used as research tools in the work. As the analysis carried out in the work has shown, economic crises from partial, covering individual countries, turn into global ones. Moreover, the depth and scale of economic crises are increasing despite the created mathematical tools and a significant increase in computing power. The analysis allows us to draw conclusions about the further regionalization of world trade and production. In addition, these processes are objective and do not depend on the current distribution of economic potential.
The study relevance of the customs procedure of reimport consists in the absence of a unified approach to its analysis, the lack of systematization of the conditions for its application, resulting in violations of the law on the part of declarants (less than 1 % of the total number of claimed procedures). The purpose of the study is to develop a methodological approach to the economic and statistical analysis of the procedure application of reimport. The tasks that make it possible to achieve this goal were: analysis of the legal basis for the application of the customs procedure of reimport, identification of the stages of the economic and statistical analysis of the procedure implementation and the formulation of conclusions based on the results of this analysis. When solving problems, general scientific methods were used: system analysis, synthesis, comparison, modeling, as well as graphical and statistical methods. As a result of the study, a methodological approach is proposed based on the models’ presentation of placement under the reimport, depending on the previous procedures, with the identification of features and factors affecting the procedure application under study; the conditions for the application of the reimport are systematized to exclude illegal actions in the field of customs; the directions in which violations of customs legislation occur and models are developed to prevent these violations.
The article is devoted to the generalization and systematization of the theoretical knowledge accumulated to date in the field of «green» (environmental) employment. Two key aspects of the relevant problem are touched upon: the definition of the term under consideration and the main stages of the environmental employment periodization. The study is based on analysis and synthesis, generalization, as well as economic-historical and comparative methods. The analysis includes significant fundamental Russian and foreign scientific works on the subject under study. A review of approaches to the definition of environmental employment is presented, its special characteristics and features. Based on the analysis and generalization of scientific and specialized research, the author’s definition of «green» employment has been developed, which should be understood as labor activity associated with «green» transformation and increasing the environmental sustainability of economic activities that have a high anthropogenic impact on the environment.
The article considers the tasks of the ESG transformation in Russian companies. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the main problems and development trends of the ESG agenda in the regions where Russian business is reorienting in conditions of the sanctions’ pressure, namely, the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. The expediency of adopting a single national standard for non-financial reporting, which includes a system of indicators taking into account industry specifics and allows optimizing partnerships with Eastern counterparties, is substantiated. It is proposed to create an ESG portal under the auspices of VEB.RF as the main methodological center for sustainable development in the Russian Federation, which will allow Russian exporters and importers to receive up-to-date information on the ESG requirements of potential foreign counterparties. The basis for financing for the creation and development of such a portal should be both federal budget funds and private financing, which corresponds to the interests of both parties. Thus, the state encourages the development of export relations with foreign companies, and the private sector gets access to regularly updated information to expand foreign economic activity in new markets. Further research will be aimed at developing recommendations for Russian exporters and importers focusing on the markets of the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East in the context of specific jurisdictions and industries.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
The article reveals the endowment funds’ formation issues of universities both in Russia and abroad, and compares their quantitative indicators. The review of publications by various scientists on the formation and use of endowment funds given in the article allows us to assess the importance of this type of endowment capital and to clarify their role in the universities’ activities. The article also pays attention to the sources of replenishment and spending directions of endowment funds of Russian universities in comparison with foreign universities. The paper presents a modern practices description of using endowment capital, the authors indicate the changes that have occurred in this way in the practice of Russian universities. As a problem, the authors of the article consider approaches to assessing the use effectiveness of endowment funds. In particular, the article calculates the endowment funds’ effectiveness of Russian universities using the Hansmann model. The result of the calculations showed the endowment funds’ effectiveness of the universities selected for the study, but, at the same time pointed out at difficulties in selecting the information necessary for calculations and serious differences in approaches to the endowment capital use of the universities themselves.
The study presents a model for making investment decisions that contribute to the development of heating supply companies (hereinafter referred to as HSC), taking into account the restrictions that arise in the conditions of applying tariffs using the “alternative boiler house” method. The study presents a generalized procedure for determining investment projects for the development of heating supply systems, considering the interests of participants in the heat supply of the territory, a curiosity assessment of the main participants in the heat supply of the territory. The weight of the criteria obtained as a result of the analysis is further used in the decision-making model. The simplex method was used as the basis for the implementation of the author’s model of investment decision-making. The simplex method is one of the methods for solving linear programming problems. An algorithm for optimizing the development function of the heating supply system by the simplex method and the index of the development of HSC in the conditions of applying tariffs using the “alternative boiler hous” method is proposed. The study presents a financing plan for a real project for the construction of a new boiler house.
The article notes that in the current methodological document approved by government bodies on determining the investment projects effectiveness there are no recommendations for a comparative assessment of the economic efficiency of decisions made in the process of investment and construction activities, and at the same time their necessity is shown. The authors’ approaches to solving this problem are substantiated and presented. It is proposed to use income and property approaches in determining the economic efficiency of investment projects for the creation of new enterprises, industries, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of existing ones. The proposed methods and indicators are presented, which make it possible to give a comparative assessment of both investment projects as a whole and individual decisions on the choice of production technologies, technological and other equipment, design and construction solutions for buildings and structures.
FINANCE AND BANKING
The need to raising the extra-budgetary funding of the university brings to the fore the goal of increasing the admission of applicants under tuition agreements. This is not news for university employees, but, unfortunately, achieving the goal faces a number of unsolved private tasks. First of all, it is unclear what the cost of one study group should be in order to provide all the necessary conditions for the university development, including the salaries of professors and teachers at least twice the average salary of the home region. How, using the answer to this question, to manage the portfolio of educational programs and the admission campaign. The proposed answers to the questions are based on a marketing approach, which presents formulas for calculating the break-even value of a bachelor’s group, an algorithm for determining the structure of the group, recommendations for adjusting the portfolio of programs and calculating the total amount of university income from extra-budgetary admission, ensuring the planned university development.
The legal certainty of the legislative acts in force in the Russian Federation concerning the organizational and legal basis for countering the funds laundering of criminal origin and clear regulation of the financial monitoring procedure, as well as the interaction of authorities are fundamental elements for the purpose of financial control. At the same time, countering the money laundering is a global aspect that directly affects both society and the economic system of most economically developed countries. The study analyzes the main activities of Russia Bank, aimed at ensuring the sustainability of information security in the financial sector of the economy, as well as ongoing activities aimed at limiting the spread of cybercrime based on an automated incident handling system. In order to solve strategic tasks in the financial security field of market entities, practical recommendations are proposed to improve the mechanism of countering to cyber crimes on the basis of financial monitoring of acquiring operations and corporate bank cards.
SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES
The purpose of the article is to determine the impact nature of the corporate social responsibility (hereinafter – CSR) policy on the company’s position during the crisis. The subject of the study is CSR as a tool of interaction with the external environment. Based on the theoretical analysis of the scientific literature, the paper identifies the interrelation of social responsibility and the business interaction strategy with the macro- and microenvironment, using the analogy method, the features of such interrelation in the conditions of economic instability, in which the business was due to the spread of Covid-19 are considered. The authors have developed recommendations for the successful implementation of this policy, taking into account all the limitations of the company’s crisis situation, which makes it possible to use this research in business practice and subsequent scientific activity. The prospects for this study may be the description of modified tools of CSR implementation, taking into account the modern development of technologies and the deepening of its impact on economic relations. As a result of the work done, a conclusion was obtained about the predominance of positive effects from the implementation of this strategy in a situation of increased resource constraints.
The study subject is tolerance to uncertainty and viability. The purpose of the work is to determine their level in male and female students and identify intersex distinctions. The methodological tools were: a personality-oriented approach and a testing methods (the McLane uncertainty tolerance test modified by E.N. Osin and the human viability test by E.A. Rylskaya). The sample consisted of 70 boys and 70 girls. The following main results are noted: students have a moderate overall level of tolerance to uncertainty and viability. Boys showed higher results in tolerance to uncertainty and its general level, and girls – in viability. The obtained data are important for assessing the psychological readiness of students to adapt to situations of uncertainty and to be productive in them. The study needs to be continued on a wider sample, taking into account regional specifics. The authors concluded that the complete absence of students with a high level of viability in the sample means that the measures implemented by the institutions of family and education are insufficient.
The effective provision of social services for long-term care of elderly citizens and the disabled requires the interaction of many structures, including the nongovernmental sector. The organization of interdepartmental interaction contributes to the work efficiency of these structures. The study analyzes the experience of interdepartmental interaction in the provision of long-term care for the elderly and disabled, the paper shows the best regional practices of such interaction. For the purposes of the study, an array of regional legislation on the care of the elderly and disabled, including interdepartmental interaction, was analyzed. The study revealed that there are original models of such interaction in the regions. The analysis results made it possible to formulate proposals for improving legislation on the regulation of interdepartmental interaction. This positive experience can be translated both for use in other regions and at the federal level.
CURRENT TRENDS IN PSYCHOLOGY
The subject of the study is the self–attitude of young people applying and not applying makeup. The relevance of the work is due to the presence of deep psychological factors that determine the use / non-use of makeup. The aim is to study the socio-psychological characteristics of self-attitude in young people who prefer and reject makeup. Research objectives are as follows: the study of scientific papers relevant to the subject of research, the formulation of the essential theoretical foundations of the research, the selection of methods that correspond to the goals of the research, the conduct of empirical research. In the empirical study, the Self-Attitude Questionnaire is used. The main result obtained by the authors is as follows: in the group rejecting makeup, self-attitude, self-esteem, self-guidance are expressed more strongly than in the group applying makeup. Makeup aversives show a more positive attitude towards themselves, are more prone to self-esteem and self-confidence, have a higher level of self-guidance. The group applying makeup is characterized by a lower self-attitude, self-guidance and self-esteem. The results obtained are important as an indicator of the psychological state of the individual during psychological counseling, psychocorrection and psychotherapy.
The article is devoted to the definition consideration of the educational needs of persons with health limitations (hereinafter – HL) and disabled persons in the tertiary education system; the aspects in which these needs are expressed. The article highlights the adaptation possibilities of disabled people in the tertiary education system, as well as the specifics of the organization and goals of an educational institution for teaching people with HL. The authors identify the barriers of social relations faced by students with HL, disabled students and their teachers at universities; analyze the degree of involvement of a student with HL in the educational process. The paper pays attention to the main approaches to the organization of educational activities of persons with HL and disabled people, namely: competence-based, project-based and activity-based approaches. The main types of inclusion, identified on the basis of medical indicators, as conditions for organizing the training of students with HL and disabled students are considered. It is determined that the education organization at the university of students with HL allows to adapt educational programs to the special needs of students, depending on the state of health of students with HL and of disabled students.
The article is devoted to determining the need for the formation of a system of knowledge and skills in the field of psychology among students of a pedagogical university, among future classroom teachers, taking into account modern trends in education. The article presents the results of a psychological and pedagogical study conducted to identify the psychological climate of the class collective, in which 28 students of the 5th grade from the MOAU “SOSH No. 87” of Orenburg took part. The following methods were used in the course of the study: analysis and synthesis, questionnaire (survey), observation. The study revealed the need to form a system of knowledge and skills in the field of psychology in future teachers. The results obtained suggest that distance learning has a negative impact on the formation process of a class collective and prevents its cohesion, which indicates the need to study psychological disciplines at a pedagogical university. This work may be of interest to students of pedagogical colleges and universities, employees of educational organizations, since with the introduction of the distance learning format, the problem of establishing a favorable psychological climate in the classroom, which has not lost its relevance for a long time, has significantly become aggravated.
