Published: October 2020

The objective of this research was to study the factors of success that affect the operating strategy of the transportation business during the economic crisis of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Thailand. Indepth interviews with predefined questions were conducted on a sample of 10 small transport businesses that were selected as successful from the SMEs searching radio program. The results of the study revealed that every entrepreneur decided to start their own business voluntarily. In terms of products and services, each were in different formats and were distinctive and unique. In addition, every small business was affected by the economic crisis. The factors that made them successful were doing things that they were good at, having adaptability, having ability to plan and solve problems, giving importance to their personnel and customers as well as the quality of products and services, not imitating others, and their determination in the business. It was found that most successful small businesses used the top priority planning strategies, followed by complete pre-planning strategies. They also were found not using opportunity-seeking and defensive strategies. Therefore, the interested parties should pay attention to study and develop specific planning strategies which are essential strategies that lead to success. In addition, the success factors of entrepreneurs should be considered as indicators of success and should be made available as information to the general public for improving small Thai enterprises into bigger businesses that can compete at the global level.

Authors: Manshin Y P , Manshina E Yu
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the experimental studies of the machines, characterized by many random dynamic effects, both from the working bodies, and from the microrelief of the fields where the technological process is carried out, and the roads when the car is moving. The histogram of a dynamic random process, as the main means of systematization, requires optimal selection of the number of discharges to obtain the effects of factors distribution patterns. The selection of the number of discharges for the histogram distributions of experimental data sets is the key to the theoretical compile statistics. The method is illustrated using a histogram comparing a stepped histogram of an empirical distribution and a theoretical law similar to a normal one. The methods of selecting a rational choice for the number of digits is presented, that allows with the required confidence probability, to obtain correspondence of empirical histograms to the theoretical laws of distribution of random variables, for which it is proposed to use the criteria of agreement of Student, Fisher, Cochren and others. Formulas are proposed for determining the number of digits in cases of similarity of the histograms to the theoretical laws of distribution of random Gauss (normal), Rayleigh, exponential, gamma distribution, log-normal, beta distribution and other laws. Numerical testing of the method for the dynamic support reactions of the car during its movement along the microrelief is given.

Authors: Li V N , Demina L S , Vlasenko S A , Tryapkin E Y
Published: October 2020

Destruction of reinforced concrete supports is a complex physical and chemical temporary process. The inevitability of destruction is due to the nature of the materials used and the activity of the environment. Centrifuged concrete is an extremely heterogeneous material over the thickness of the products made thereof: in centrifuged structures, several layers are formed over the wall thickness, which differ in their texture and structure. While in operation, the supports are subjected to a complex temperature impact, microorganisms and chemically active media have an impact on them. In addition to the main adverse factors, it is worth noting the effect of the electromagnetic field of the catenary suspension, the impact of which promotes the formation of transverse cracks mainly in the upper part of the support. Therefore, this phenomenon requires the study and development of reinforced concrete support diagnostics and monitoring facilities to provide continuous movement of railway transport and prevent support breakage and falling.

Published: October 2020

The interior design of hotel inevitably includes the furniture installation. The design of furniture needs to select suitable material. Modern material production provides numerous alternatives but at the same time create another problem of selection the suitable one. The properties of materials in different aspects, e.g. strength, style, durability, etc., form a set of criteria in the selection. The criteria are normally conflicting and pose difficulty in the selection process. This paper proposes an MCDM methodology, namely interval TOPSIS, to facilitate the selection process by ranking the prospect materials according to a set of criteria. The interval TOPSIS is suitable for the real-world application where there is uncertainty in terms of interval numbers. The methodology is illustrated through an illustrative example. The methodology is readily extended to the material selection in other domain of application.

Published: October 2020

The article presents a General principle for evaluating the norms of specific energy consumption rates for ore extraction at mining enterprises, including the determination of daily well penetration and conversion coefficients of specific consumption for individual operations. Specific norms of electric power consumption for excavating and drilling are determined according to the developed methods. Analyzing the nature of the waveforms, it can be concluded that the greatest energy consumption during excavation is accounted for by the scooping process. When comparing individual cycles on oscillograms, it is seen that at almost the same maximum power, equal to 0.465 MW, a significant difference in the energy consumed per cycle (from 4.9 to 8.2 MW·s) occurs due to different scooping times. The economic feasibility of improving the crushing of rock mass by explosion to reduce the specific cost of electricity was determined, which allowed us to conclude that it is not advisable to make additional investments in drilling and blasting operations in order to reduce electricity consumption. As for drilling machines, the average electrical power consumed by one machine is determined based on the results of measurements. The power consumption was recorded taking into account the shunting operations of the machine. By integrating the load curve using the averaged area method, the amount of electricity consumed by the machine per shift is obtained.

Authors: Belova Nadezhda , Voskresenskaya Elena , Vorona-Slivinskaya Lybov
Published: October 2020

Waste recycling is an urgent problem that needs to be tackled for the purposes of sustainable development of the international community. Large and permanently growing amounts of diverse production and household wastes evidence the importance of this problem. Due to this, the majority of world countries have adopted certain legislative acts and by-laws aimed at regulation and comprehensive support of activities relating to waste treatment and reuse. Foreign experience of waste management proved that market relations being without state support cannot regulate the processes of waste production, collection, utilization and recycling, especially the processes of resource saving. Most European countries resolve the issues of resource saving and waste treatment by using both state and market mechanisms of regulating waste management works. Russia needs state administration for the development and adjustment of legal and regulatory framework of recycling in order to make the domestic sphere of waste reuse sound and effective. Implementation of waste recycling process requires significant investments that involve both private funds and fund from the federal budget or budgets of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Today, the need for the development of, first, investing activities targeted at waste treatment and, second, the corresponding production industry, is becoming urgent, since if economic and technical system of waste recycling are not developing, the country will face ecological crisis and a shortage of some raw materials for manufacturing. Transport waste is a source of anthropogenic environmental pollution on a global scale and occurs as an inevitable result of consumer attitudes and an unacceptably low resource utilization rate. Waste is generated at all stages of the vehicle’s life cycle.

The following models are considered in detail: time series analysis model and a causal model for forecasting the flow of tourism to the Arctic. The flow models were studied from the point of view of decision making. A number of assumptions, their limitations or recommendations are formulated, adhering to which, one can help an individual make a choice which matches his or her wishes. Some tactical measures ensuring the flow of funds to the Arctic regions are identified and a hybrid model of integer programming for tourism planning in the Arctic is proposed. Also, a decision-making model has been developed for investment in tourism in the Arctic. It is proved that net profit alone should not be used to evaluate gains as it is necessary to take into account marginal utility, which reflects the contribution of a project to the indicator of attractiveness of this region for tourists. A method for evaluating utility is discussed. Weight factors are determined for the appropriateness of the Arctic regions for tourism and the methods to assess non-monetary gains are suggested.

Globalization would be impossible without changing the transport infrastructure and turning it into the universal tool for delivery of services and goods. In the information society, the concept of transport has been transforming. Nowadays, transport is not just cars, ships, aircrafts. Transport is also an information architecture that allows us to provide services and give access to financial resources. Obviously, it changes the consciousness of people and the mass consciousness of social groups. This research deals with the philosophical and sociological analysis of the mutual influence of mass culture and mass consciousness in a globalized world. We reveal the main tendencies of the interaction mentioned above at the time of widespread use of information and communications technology. We considered the modern methods of the socio-cultural identity formation process as a factor of social contradictions in society at the beginning of the XXI century. We analyzed the mechanisms of harmonization of the priorities and needs of social groups in the globalized society. We substantiated the idea of the impossibility of eliminating civilizational antagonisms without the implementation of innovative approaches to solving problems of national, religious, and cultural identity.

Authors: Zolotareva M V
Published: October 2020

The article uses the example of Saint Petersburg to describe the state policy of the first half of the XIX century to improve the work of city authorities in the field of transport network, management, urban land improvement and construction. The government has set a task to “activate the mechanism” for effective work of the St. Petersburg city Duma, to create conditions for delegating powers in independent construction, economic and Supervisory activities to the city community. Having analyzed the legal framework of that time, we can say with confidence that the solution to the problem lies in increasing the number of real estate objects, improving the urban transport network in the Russian capital and their revenue-generating capacity.

Over the past few decades, the trends of globalization and the markets expansion have been fundamental in the Russian and world economies. Such economic structure requires a large volume and range of transportation, the storage systems presence, the transported objects distribution. Logistics centers become an integral part of the economic development both for the regions and the country as a whole. Logistics centers, in turn, need specialized equipment that allows the most efficient use of existing storage areas. Reach truck is one of the most commonly used equipment in large A and A + warehouses. The article presents the estimating market restrictions method when the equipment cost determining taking into account the characteristics of the designed facility and the main competitors represented on the market. The method peculiarity is taking into account the technical and consumer characteristics of the investigated object, their comparison with the competitors’ parameters. Based on this comparison, the possible product price is determined. The proposed technique allows to optimize equipment configuration and price depending on the consumers’ needs. The proposed evaluation algorithm was tested on complex technical equipment (reach truck), but it should be noted that the proposed methodology is universal and can be applied to any technical object.
