AGRICULTOR, ASSALARIADO, AGRICULTOR: TRAJETÓRIAS E IDENTIDADES NO PROCESSO DE EXPANSÃO DE COMMODITIES NA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: Ribeiro Laiane Bezerra , Mota Dalva
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as identidades de trabalhadores rurais ao longo das trajetórias de trabalho no processo da expansão de uma commoditie no nordeste paraense. A pesquisa foi realizada no município do Acará, nordeste paraense, através de um estudo de caso, com observações das atividades cotidianas e entrevistas com questionários semi-estruturados e não-diretivas com 18 trabalhadores rurais na vila rural de Belenzinho e cinco moradores da sede do município (sindicalistas e representantes da secretaria de agricultura do município do Acará). As principais conclusões mostram que a identidade de agricultor familiar revela-se quando eles trabalham com os pais na agricultura e se intensifica quando iniciam seus próprios cultivos, a identidade de trabalhador assalariado surge, para a maioria, com a expansão da dendeicultura, pelo fato da atividade se tornar a principal fonte de renda da família e por ser nela que dedicam a maior parte do seu tempo de trabalho. Ao serem demitidos da dendeicultura retornam as suas atividades iniciais de agricultores familiares iniciando novos cultivos e continuando nos cultivos tradicionais de roça. Porém, dando ênfase a cultivos de frutíferas como o açaí.

Authors: Mateus Josimar dos Santos , Alves de Souza Filho Theophilo
Published: August 2024

A presente pesquisa refere-se à avaliação da contribuição do Projeto Rural Sustentável (PRS) para a recuperação de áreas degradadas em propriedades da agricultura familiar com Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAF), do município de Buritis/RO, que utilizam sistemas de produção capazes de trazer benefícios ambientais e socioeconômico. Foram aplicadas entrevistas de questionário semiestruturado a três agentes de Assistência Técnica e 18 famílias de produtores rurais. Constatou-se que os SAF tiveram como objetivo principal o sombreamento e a recuperação de área degradada. Além de preservar espécies nativas, principalmente frutíferas, o sistema tem desempenhado melhor produtividade e renda familiar, ao tempo que garante um local mais sustentável ambientalmente ao passo que áreas degradadas são recuperadas. Apesar de iniciar-se com questões relacionadas à ordem econômica e produtiva, os SAF também assumem o papel social e ambiental no grupo estudado. Observa-se uma função protetiva visível nos sistemas adotados, sendo importante uma maior divulgação em programas dos órgãos de fiscalização ambiental.

La politique de cohésion territoriale de l'UE : Rétrospective, état des lieux et perspectives 2014-2020
Authors: Belattaf Matouk , Belattaf Sylia
Published: August 2024

La politique de cohésion économique, sociale et territoriale de l'UE pour l'harmonisation et la cohésion des régions européennes, est inscrite dès 1957, dans le Traité de Rome, où en 1958 furent créés 2 fonds sectoriels : FSE et FEOGA et en 1975, le FEDER pour redistribuer une partie du budget communautaire aux régions en retard de développement. Elle est concrétisée dans l'Acte Unique en 1986, à l'initiative de la Commission européenne (CE). L'UE a accueilli 13 nouveaux membres depuis 2004, nécessitant solidarité et moyens pour rattraper leur retard de développement. La politique régionale 2000-2006 vise 3 objectifs : convergence pour les régions en retard de développement, aide au rattrapage des zones aux diffi cultés structurelles et adaptation/modernisation des politiques et systèmes d'éducation, de formation et d'emploi. Durant 2007-2013, la CE redéfi nit les priorités de la politique de cohésion, 3 objectifs: convergence, compétitivité régionale et emploi, et coopération territoriale pour renforcer la politique de rattrapage socioéconomique en créant le Fonds régional et le Fonds de cohésion. La crise économique et fi nancière mondiale frappant l'Europe a poussé les dirigeants européens à adopter en 2010 la Stratégie Europe 2020 : croissance intelligente, durable et inclusive, et gouvernance économique. La politique de cohésion réformée de 2014-2020 se fi xe 5 objectifs : Emploi ; Recherche et Innovation ; Recherche climatique/ Energie ; Education et Pauvreté. Notre travail consiste à présenter, évaluer et analyser la politique de cohésion territoriale de l'UE menée jusque-là et de pronostiquer sur les perspectives fi xées dans la Stratégie Europe 2020.
Le nouveau défi de la comptabilité : la divulgation d'informations RSE - vers le rapport intégré
Authors: Macuda Małgorzata
Published: August 2024

Au cours des dernières années, on a pu constater un intérêt accru pour le concept de la responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise (RSE). En conséquence, le rôle de la comptabilité dans la mise en œuvre de ce concept devient de plus en plus l'objet de discussions. La comptabilité de la responsabilité sociale (autrement dit la comptabilité sociale et environnementale), et surtout le reporting approprié des engagements sociaux et environnementaux des entités économiques, vise à indentifi er, mesurer et à présenter ces engagements liés à leur fonctionnement. La comptabilité, en raison de sa nature systémique, est en constante évolution. La comptabilité de la responsabilité sociale est une manifestation du développement de la théorie et de la pratique comptable résultant du changement économique et social. L'article traite de la prise en compte de la RSE par la comptabilité et soulève la question du reporting intégré dans le courant de la comptabilité de la responsabilité sociale. L'article consiste à synthétiser un ensemble d'études concernant la divulgation d'informations RSE réalisées en Pologne (présenter un état des lieux) pour ensuite conduire à une proposition de la mise en place du rapport intégré (la structuration d'un ensemble de données fi nancières et non-fi nancières) comme une forme de la divulgation d'informations RSE. Afi n de réaliser ce but, l'auteur a employé la méthodologie de recherche et d'analyse documentaire.
Agrégats macroéconomiques et fluctuations de l'investissement : l'exemple des pays de l'UEMOA
Authors: Ndiaye Cheikh Tidiane
Published: August 2024

Cet article propose une évaluation de l'impact de l'évolution des agrégats macroéconomiques sur l'investissement des pays de l'UEMOA. L'étude s'appuie sur une modélisation structurelle à composantes inobservables susceptible de faire ressortir les liens entre l'investissement et les variables macroéconomiques. Les résultats suggèrent la récurrence des chocs négatifs sur l'investissement. Les agrégats macroéconomiques (PIB, Infl ation, Epargne), exercent ainsi un comportement pro-cyclique sur l'investissement. Par contre, le solde budgétaire est contra-cyclique suivant les phases du cycle de l'investissement. L'investissement productif devrait être une priorité des politiques budgétaires nationales dans les pays membres de l'union pour un développement économique soutenable.

Impact social d'une politique de financement mixte sur l'enseignement supérieur : le cas du Chili
Authors: Escobar Claudio Ruff , Toledo Marcelo Ruiz
Published: August 2024

L'éducation est une manière de lutter contre l'inégalité sociale qui frappe de nombreux pays, car elle apporte une alternative favorisant le progrès et le développement social. Au Chili, l'intérêt porté à l'élargissement des indices de couverture concernant l'enseignement supérieur a suscité, à partir des années 70, une série de réformes structurelles permettant, entre autres choses, la convergence d'un système de financement basé sur la gratuité vers un autre de caractère mixte reposant sur des apports de l'Etat et des apports privés, en plus de l'accès à des crédits et des bourses. Ceci a permis, finalement, qu'un plus grand nombre d'étudiants économiquement défavorisés puissent avoir accès à l'enseignement supérieur. Dans ce contexte, ce travail décrit et analyse de manière longitudinale la situation chilienne entre 1990 et 2015. Il applique également le « coefficient d'inégalité de Gini » à des variables éducatives de couverture et financement. Des comparaisons analogiques sont établies à partir d'indices d'éducation et d'équité entre les paramètres obtenus sur les bases de référence de l'enquête CASEN1 et ceux provenant d'études nationales et internationales. L'étude démontre que le système actuel de financement a influencé directement et de façon positive la mobilité sociale de l'enseignement, surtout pour les deux premiers quintiles de ressources.
Simulation des trajectoires de productivité du travail dans les différentes régions de la Pologne ; une analyse appuyée sur un modèle de croissance gravitationnel
Authors: Filipowicz Katarzyna
Published: August 2024

Dans cet article1 on présente l'essence du modèle de croissance économique gravitationnel de la croissance et la manière d'étalonner ses paramètres pour les voïvodies polonaises dans les années 2000-2014. En utilisant les paramètres calibrés du modèle on a utilisé des simulations numériques pour déterminer la trajectoire de la productivité du travail dans les voïvodies polonaises en période 2015-2050. Des analyses numériques ont été effectuées sur quatre scénarios différents concernant l'évolution des taux d'investissement dans les voïvodies polonaises et les taux de croissance du PIB des pays limitrophes de la Pologne. Quel que soit le scénario adopté en Pologne, il y aurait une divergence de la productivité du travail au niveau des voïvodies. Ce processus serait beaucoup plus efficace si la structure des taux d'investissement restait au niveau de la moyenne 2000-2014 pour les voïvodies individuelles par rapport à l'adoption des mêmes taux d'investissement pour toutes les voïvodies. De plus, des simulations numériques ont confirmé l'hypothèse selon laquelle une croissance économique plus rapide des pays limitrophes de la Pologne se traduirait par une croissance plus rapide de la productivité du travail dans toutes les voïvodies.

Authors: Woźniak-Jęchorek Beata
Published: August 2024

Cet article vise à identifier les problèmes institutionnels du marché du travail en Pologne dans la deuxième décennie du XXIe siècle. Les institutionnalistes cherchent les causes de différents problèmes du marché du travail dans l'environnent institutionnel - le système des institutions formelles et informelles de ce marché. Cette voie de recherche est utilisée dans cet article. Les institutions du marché du travail sont définies comme les réglementations juridiques officielles (institutions formelles), et aussi comme les attitudes et les comportements des participants du marché (institutions informelles) qui influent sur la quantité du travail (l'offre d'emploi et l'emploi) et sur les niveaux des salaires. Ces institutions sont créées par l'État ou elles apparaissent spontanément à la suite des changements économiques, politiques et sociaux. Dans la première partie de cet article, je présenterai la place de la Pologne dans les classements des indicateurs institutionnelles établi par le World Economic Forum ou Heritage Fundation, dans la seconde - j'analyserai la liberté institutionnelle sur le marché du travail polonais et le problème de régulation et de dérégulation de ce marché. Dans les sections suivantes - je présenterai les groupes d'intérêt sur le marché du travail, l'institution du salaire minimum et l'écart entre les sexes en tant qu'un problème institutionnel de ce marché. Toutes les analyses seront effectuées pour la Pologne et pour certains pays de l'OCDE.
Pouvoir de marché et efficience : Cas du secteur bancaire de l'UEMOA
Authors: Ndiaye Abdoulaye
Published: August 2024

Dans cet article nous analysons la relation entre le pouvoir de marché et l'efficience de coût sur un échantillon de 49 banques formé à partir de sept pays de l'Union Economique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine (UEMOA) sur la période 2003-2014. Notre méthodologie empirique repose sur l'analyse des données de panel et sur l'estimateur 2SLS IV. Nos résultats montrent que le pouvoir de marché réduit l'efficience de coût des banques des pays de l'UEMOA à travers une hausse des coûts opératoires. Cela conforte le Quiet Life Hypothesis qui stipule qu'un marché concentré incite à des comportements sous optimaux nuisibles à la profitabilité bancaire. Ces résultats ont d'importantes implications de politiques de régulation bancaire dans l'UEMOA.

Impact de la crise de 2008 sur les prix des matières premières et des produits vivriers en Afrique de l'Ouest
Authors: Ndiaye Madické Mbodj , Diop Samba
Published: August 2024

L'objectif de ce papier est de mesurer l'impact de la crise de 2008 sur la relation entre les prix des matières premières et des produits vivriers dans quelques pays Ouest Africains. Nous avons fait appel au test de stabilité des coefficients estimés appuyé d'un modèle de régression avec une variable muette représentant la crise. Les résultats obtenus montrent que l'indice des matières premières à une influence significative et positive sur l'indice des produits vivriers. Toutefois, la relation est deux fois plus élevée avant la crise qu'après la crise. Ensuite, le test de stabilité des paramètres confirme l'hypothèse selon laquelle la crise a bien eu un effet sur la relation. Enfin, le test de significativité de la variable binaire captant l'effet de la crise justifie une fois de plus l'impact significatif de la crise de 2008 sur la modélisation des prix des produits vivriers et des matières premières dans ces pays.

Ce papier utilise des modèles de cointégration et de correction d ' erreurs qui sont appliqués aux séries des prix annuels du cacao collectés sur le marché international du cacao et sur le marché du cacao au Cameroun pour la période 1961-2015. Sur plus de 50 années, les résultats montrent qu ' il y a transmission du prix du marché international du cacao au marché du cacao au Cameroun. En outre, la libéralisation n ' a pas sensiblement amélioré l ' ampleur de l ' intégration des marchés du cacao à long terme et à court terme. La rapidité de l ' ajustement des prix est relativement faible pour la plupart des marchés. Afin d ' améliorer l ' efficacité du marché, le gouvernement pourrait améliorer le système d ' information sur le marché et les moyens de transport dans les zones de production de cacao.
Consent to Injury as a Potential Circumstance That Excludes the Criminal Nature of the Act: On the Concept Content
Authors:   Teaching Assistant of the Department of Criminal Law and Prosecutorial Supervision, Zaborsky Mikhail Ya.
Published: August 2024

The problem of consent to injury raises almost the largest number of discussions in the Russian criminal law theory. Although the social relations need the respective legal regulation, the criminal law has no provision to determine legality of causing an injury upon the victim’s consent. The concept of consent to injury is the critical aspect of the problem under consideration. In this article, the author analyzes classical and contemporary approaches to defining the named concept and the list of its attributes and concludes that the consent to injury as a circumstance that excludes the criminal nature of the act is a will of a person that is formed based on personal interest gives rise to permissive criminal relations and is aimed at performance of an act by another person leading to socially relevant changes in a specific criminal law protection object owned by the consent subject. The conclusions presented in the article can be used as a theoretical basis for studies of conditions of acknowledging an injury caused upon the victim’s consent as legal, and in law making activities at design of respective legal provisions on consent to injury as a circumstance that excludes the criminal nature of the act.

La profesión jurídica ante las reformas estructurales. Una aproximación ecológica en la tarea de eliminar barreras burocráticas
Authors: Rodríguez Gamero Marco Alonso
Published: August 2024

La abogacía y el derecho no fueron los mismos tras el proceso de liberalización económica llevado a cabo por el Estado peruano en la década de 1990. Este libro propone hacer legibles estas transformaciones a través de un estudio de caso basado en uno de los nuevos rostros profesionales nacidos de aquel contexto: los abogados antibarreras. Constituidos en el entorno organizacional de la agencia de competencia peruana, Indecopi, estos abogados han venido cumpliendo la misión de «eliminar» trabas burocráticas desde una posición que los sitúa entre las fronteras de una rama tradicional, como el derecho administrativo, y otra novedosa, como el derecho de la competencia, bajo la influencia del análisis económico del derecho. Desde las premisas del enfoque ecológico de la sociología de las profesiones, esta investigación recorre sus antecedentes, nacimiento y vicisitudes, para finalmente comprender cómo es que llegaron a estabilizarse como grupo profesional. Tal trayecto incorpora igualmente el reconocimiento de los procesos sociales más amplios que permitieron que los Estados asuman nuevas tareas públicas, como lo es la desregulación. En última instancia, esta obra pretende comprender los cambios en el derecho peruano a partir de la configuración de este perfil de abogados, quienes entienden lo jurídico como un instrumento de la economía.
Fostering master two students' reading skills via cinematic literature
Authors: Hamimed Nadia
Published: August 2024

The spread of audio-visual culture and the existence of more and more technologies in student life remind teachers and researchers to incorporate audio-visual materials and e-learning into foreign language teaching, especially literature teaching. One of the most popular audio-visual media related to literature that has become increasingly important in the field of literary communication is film adaptation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to show the potential of film adaptation according to the requirements of literature research. To achieve this purpose, the study is conducted at Sidi Bel Abbes University, Algeria, involving master two EFL literature students and teachers, relying on two research tools; students' questionnaires and teachers' interviews.  The research results show that film adaptations are very useful for teaching literature. The results also indicate that adaptation can improve students' understanding of a literary text and develop their reading analytical and critical skills. The study suggested that using more screen adaptations in classes facilitates understanding a literary text and makes the students overcome obstacles that hinder them from reading.
Keywords: Cinematic literature; cultivating; reading skills.

English as a medium of instruction in the Algerian higher education: Issues and new avenues
Authors: Senouci Mayada , Gacem Mama
Published: August 2024

It is widely approved that whatever may be the drive for acquiring or learning a new language, it remains an asset. The instruction of a foreign language is resourceful for any nation as it enhances the linguistic capital among its people. In Algeria, following the discourse of languages at universities, a linguistic shift has been introduced from French as a Medium of Instruction to English as a Medium of Instruction. Nevertheless, this language reform is not free from the impact of some factors such as: political and social since language planning cannot be detached from its social and historical context. Using a mixed-method approach, this research paper attempts to examine teachers’ perceptions and expectations about the effectiveness of the integration of English. Sixty students from various faculties and levels responded to a questionnaire by the researchers. The results show that, despite their enthusiastic and supportive views toward the new language project, the respondents affirm that Saida and the Algerian university as a whole are not prepared for this sudden shift. Hence, a myriad of recommendations arises for both teachers and policy-makers in enhancing the acquisition planning for the successful implementation of EMI in higher education.
Keywords:  Acquisition planning; EMI; higher education; linguistic capital

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze Indonesian errors in Indonesian speakers from Japan. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The data analysis technique in this study was in 4 stages. The stages are included collection of a sample, identification of errors, description of errors, and explanation of errors. The data sources in this study were Indonesian speakers from Japan's videos. This research showed that Indonesian speakers from Japan made Indonesian errors at the linguistic level; the details are as follows. There were 43 phonological errors:  17 adding phonemes errors, five reduction phonemes, and 21 replacing phonemes. There were ten morphological errors. These errors were five errors of omitting prefixes, two errors of omitting suffixes, one error in the aspect of omitting confixes, and errors in using inappropriate prefixes. There were nine syntactic errors:  4 errors in unsubjected sentences, two errors using prepositions, and three incorrect sentence structure formations. These results are discussed among other results from this study.
Keywords: Errors; Foreign Speaker; Linguistics.
Metalinguistic Concepts and Attitudes toward Mexican Spanish in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico
Authors: Harjus Jannis , Mayr Paul
Published: August 2024

This paper investigates metalinguistic concepts and language attitudes toward Mexican Spanish varieties and Spanish-Amerindian language contact in Oaxaca, Mexico. Theoretical-methodological approaches from Perceptual Dialectology and Metapragmatic Sociolinguistics are used to analyze non-linguists’ views of linguistic variation and their prestige attributions in the multilingual communicative space of southern Mexico. On the data basis of semi-narrative interviews with speakers from the metropolitan region of Oaxaca, we discuss the results of a discourse analysis of these perceptions. The results show a tripartite division of the Oaxacan dialectal space with sporadic mention of salient linguistic features for each conceptualized variational space, an overt prestige for the urban Oaxacan variety and its close link to the Mexico City standard, and a negative attitude toward linguistic interferences coming from Spanish-indigenous language contacts.
Robust M Estimation for Poisson Panel Data Model with Fixed Effects: Method, Algorithm, Simulation, and Application
Authors: Youssef Ahmed Hassen , Abonazel Mohamed Reda , Ahmed Elsayed G.
Published: August 2024

The fixed effects Poisson (FEP) model is one of the most important for the count data when the data containperiods and cross-sectional units. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method for the FEP model provides good results in the absence of outliers, but it is affected by outliers. So, we introduce in this paper robust estimators for the FEP model. These estimators yield stable and good results in case of the presence of outliers. The Monte Carlo simulation study and empirical application were conducted to assess the performance of the non-robust fixed Poisson maximum likelihood (FPML) estimator and the robust estimators: fixed Poisson Huber (FPHR), fixed Poisson Hampel (FPHM) and fixed Poisson Tukey (FPTK). The results of simulation and application show that robust estimators are better than FPML estimator when the count panel data contains outliers. In addition, FPTK is more efficient than other robust estimators.
Breast cancer survival analysis and machine learning to predict the impact of different treatments
Authors: Elnawasany Amal , Tawfik BenBella , Makhlouf Mohamed
Published: August 2024

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, impacting approximately one million women worldwide. New treatments are being developed yearly, improving breast cancer patients' survival rates. To explore the impact of different treatments, we conducted this study using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The study employed Kaplan-Meier analysis to examine breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) rates across various treatment options, including ‘chemotherapy’, ‘radiotherapy, ‘both therapies’, and ‘no therapy’. The log-rank test was also utilized to assess the statistical significance of differences observed between multiple survival curves. We found that recommended treatment for most breast cancer cases, based on BCSS analysis, is the combination of ‘both’ chemotherapy and radiotherapy. On the other hand, according to OS analysis, ‘radiotherapy only’ or ‘in conjunction with chemotherapy’ is the superior treatment for most breast cancer cases. They are often preferred over ‘chemotherapy only’ for most breast cancer patients. Machine learning was used to develop ten models predicting the survivability for OS and BCSS. C5.0 algorithm consistently achieves strong overall performance. It achieves high accuracy 0.98 and sensitivity of 0.99 for both OS and BCSS, reasonably RMSE of (0.14, 0.15 for BCSS and OS, respectively), and good ROC score of (0.91, 0.88 for BCSS and OS, respectively).

Currently, the effectiveness of the influence of vehicle movement intervals on transport work has not been properly investigated. In addition, the rules for the formation of periods for the performance of transport work require further study. In this regard, the development of daily interval plans for passenger vehicles on urban regular routes becomes relevant. The article proposes a system of criteria for combining indicators of the passenger transportation process during periods of the day. This system is aimed at minimizing the value of the sum of the differences between the adjusted timetable and the estimated number of buses, taking into account work throughout all periods of the day, as well as ensuring the values of capacity utilization coefficients less than or equal to one. Based on the criteria system, an algorithm for developing daily interval plans for motor vehicles on urban regular routes has been obtained. The dependences have been established which demonstrate the sum values of the differences between the adjusted and calculated number of buses during all periods of the day along the route on the value of the adjustment interval. The dependencies have a minimum extremum, indicating the presence of an optimal peak interval.

The article is devoted to assessing the possibilities of integrating microprocessor terminals of protection and automation into digital systems used in railway transport. The article describes the development of options for building local area networks adapted to work together with microprocessor terminals for protection and automation of feeders in the contact network for the traction power supply system of 25 kV, 50 Hz AC. The results of the analysis of the composition for switching equipment on the example of existing traction substations of the Far Eastern Railway were used to make a conclusion: developing several variants of schemes is important for building a local computer network. Schemes of local computer networks are proposed for the use of microprocessor protection and automation terminals from various manufacturers and for the presence or absence of regular servers and elements of automated control systems.

The article presents the model of a linear regression for predicting the sliding zones of pressed connections reaching significant values under high loads. Sliding zones as the response function in multiple regression have been determined on the results of calculation of a wheel-set with the method of finite-elements. Meantime, the numerical experiment contained all the combinations of the parameters of loadings. The components of the proposed regression models have been evaluated: the criteria of inclusion and exclusion of variables, coefficients of correlation, determination, statistics of correlations of the regression parameters. The received model allows to predict with sufficient accuracy the appearance of the zones of sliding of a wheel hub on an axle and can be used when optimizing the wheel-set construction and the choice of the optimal parameters of pressed connections.

The article presents the results received under numerical simulation of a collision of a freight rolling stock with an empty and loaded gondola car, and allowing to evaluate the efficiency of a locomotive passive safety system (SPS). Two methods have been used for the simulation: finite-element method (FEM) and discrete element method (DEM). The combination of FEM and DEM makes it possible to evaluate the influence of bulk material at the moment of collision in the body of a gondola car upon inevitable plastic deformations of the driver’s cabin frame and upon the destruction of the glazing area of the cabin. On the results of the numerical simulation the absorption of the kinetic energy shock due to the passive safety system has been determined, as well as changes of accelerations in the places of the driver’s seats settings.

The article proposes to consider transport technology from a more general perspective when both the essence of technological solutions and patterns are better demonstrated. The new systems approach is presented as a methodology for building efficient and sustainable transport systems. It is shown that system adaptability creates so-called dynamic reserves which ensure system stability without large actual reserves. The essence of the interaction of structural elements is considered. It has been proven that it is impossible to calculate their parameters without taking into account mutual influence in isolation from the imposed function as well. The justification is given that it is possible to display the structure, function and interaction of random and controlled processes only using simulation modeling as the most correct calculation method.

The results of the research in the sphere of the efficiency increase of functioning of the traction electric motor of the ED9T electric train have been presented. Smooth and sustainable railway transport operation depends greatly on the reliability of the traction motor of the ED9T electric train and its efficiency of use. The most widespread damages in the armature winding of the traction motor of ED9T electric train are violations of the terms of the armature commuting, inter-winding faults because of the damage of the insulation of coil turns, closure of winding on the case («ground») and double closures on the ground. The authors offered a logarithmical spectral method of diagnostics allowing to determine malfunctions on the results of mathematical spectrogram processing for rapid clarification of the faults of the armature windings of the traction electric motor.

The article has proposed a methodology for assessing the delayed influence of factors in the functioning of business entities of network organizational structures. Three enterprises with different dynamics of production capacities (increasing, negative and stable enterprise) were used to make an analysis. The sample consists of ten control points (years). The internal factors of the state in the network organizational structures have been considered on the example of three enterprises with different production dynamics (stably functioning, with growing and falling production capacities). The correlation analysis has been performed to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on the studied variable «volume of realized production». After the analysis two significant factors have been chosen for a successfully developing enterprise: three factors are for a stable one and four ones are for an enterprise characterized by a rapid decline in production capacity. The estimation of the delayed influence of factors by the method of step-by-step shifting of the data column relative to the values column of the realized production was carried out. Using the least squares method, the coefficients of the predictive form have been found and the functions of three enterprises in the network organizational structure have been obtained. The use of the proposed methodology allows us to substantiate significant indicators of the functioning of network organizational structures and periods when their impact on network elements will be maximum.
