Published: March 2020

The article deals with the problem of regional food security. It is characterized by an integrated approach, since it accumulates the key factors of agro-industrial and economic modernization, the current state and trends in the development of agricultural and food production, the food market, the availability of food for the population and its purchasing power.

The authors estimate the level of food consumption by the population of the Ryazan region. They propose a system of indicators determining the economic availability of food for the population of the region. The cost structure of the minimum set of food products in the Ryazan region is analyzed. The analysis of statistical data on the materials of a sample survey of household budgets in the Ryazan region demonstrates the possibility and the need to increase demand for food by reducing income differentiation.

The issues of self-sufficiency of the region with food are also considered. The authors present generalized data on production and actual consumption of basic food products, determine the ratio of food needs according to medical standards and food resources, calculate coefficients of self-sufficiency of basic food products for the Ryazan region population. In conclusion special importance of developing the regional food market infrastructure for increasing the Ryazan region food self-sufficiency is proved.

Authors: Kurmanova L R , Kurmanova D A
Published: March 2020

The share participation of citizens’ financial funds in the construction of apartment buildings substantially ceases. In conditions of a gradual transition to project financing of housing construction, developers and banks face with the problem of the deficite of resources to finance all new buildings and the completion of projects. The project financing mechanism remains incompletely developed; only the basic principles of the project financing mechanism work are indicated. There is no regulatory legal framework, so it is difficult to evaluate these initiatives. The Russian banking system is not ready to fully provide loans at the request of housing developers, because it does not have sufficient financial resources. Banking products using escrow accounts are in the formation stage, which is of interest in considering other forms of financing of construction objects, in particular, using the crowdfunding technology, the possibilities and advantages of which are discussed in a scientific article. The technology of crowdfunding can be used by commercial banks by creating an Internet site for attracting public funds to implement a targeted project online. Previously, the bank’s task is to assess the reality, effectiveness and timing of the project in order to reduce risks. In the future, the bank collects online funds and their investment in the project.

Authors: Kovaleva I V , Voronkova O Yu
Published: March 2020

Operation of dairy industry in Altai region, historically, traditionally the main dairy products were butter and Altaic cheeses solid fraction. In recent decades, the industry is experiencing certain difficulties associated with reduced resource base due to sharp decline of livestock dairy herd and the low level of marketability of raw milk. However, the total consumption of dairy products in the Altai is 0.8 million tones, representing 16% of the total volume of milk consumed in the Siberian Federal District, and approximately 2.3% of the total volume of milk consumed in Russia.

The price environment of the dairy market is determined by fundamental and market factors. The current trends in the industry contribute to a systematic increase in prices. However, raw milk prices are subject to high volatility depending on the time of year. Processors face the problem of excess raw materials in the summer months (the season of “big milk”) and lack – in the winter, which is reflected in the level of purchase prices.

Authors: Chaplygina M , Fomicheva L
Published: March 2020

Correlation and regression analysis can be used to establish casual relationships between variables. In practice, these tools help to find out the variable value and determine its impact on the change of the dependent variable.

The purpose of the article is to study the factors affecting the change in the production output, in particular, stock inventories, their turnover as well as contractors and buyers of finished products. Even if the values are expressed in different units of measurement, i.e. the production output and inventories - in rubles and inventory turnover - in turns, contractors - in the number of men, the economic and mathematical models presented enable us to make a comparison. Therefore, the article demonstrates a practical approach to find the dependency between specific and above factors (variables) and their cause-and-effect associations.

In practice, it is necessary to find out the values of the variable and determine its impact on the change of the dependent variable. In this particular case, the production output is taken as a dependent value. Its value is influenced by variables (stocks of raw materials and supplies, their turnover, number of consumers formed for a certain type of finished product of a given production), and therefore they change proportionally. The calculation of values for one variable on the basis of another one will be shown using regression equation with known initial numbers. Consequently, a practical approach presented demonstrates how correlation analysis, mathematical function, regression equation and trend line can be applied allowing practitioners to identify not only cause-and-effect but also regression relationships between variables. The proposed regression analysis allows to identify changes in the microeconomic production policy and to trace their impact on the economic activity of the entity over time.

Authors: Lazarev V I , Lazareva R I , Shatokhin M V , Glebova I A
Published: March 2020

In the present work, an attempt was made to determine the dynamics of the content of gross forms of heavy metals in long (50 years) field experiments of various agroecosystems on various fertilizer backgrounds. In the ecosystem of the field five-field grain-crop crop rotation, the dynamics of the content of heavy metals was more clearly expressed due to their higher removal due to a higher yield of crops entering the crop rotation, as well as more significant inflows of heavy metals to the soil with mineral fertilizers and manure at a dose of 20 tons / ha per rotation sowing volume. The main sources of heavy metals in the soil are the mineral and especially organic fertilizers. Introduction of mineral and organic fertilizers, even in moderate doses for 10 rotations has contributed to the content of heavy metals in the ploughed layer typical black earth and resulted in exceeding the concentrations of individual elements (Pb, Cd ), having high background values.

Published: March 2020

The most important when planning the development of individual regions is the question of assessing intermediate and final states. Since the development of the region is planned for a long period of time, the game-theoretic approach is possible to construct its mathematical model. A mathematical model for the development of a particular region is developed, taking into account labor movements as an investment between industries. The mathematical problem is reduced to finding the “optimal” trajectories of the development of the vector criterion of the Pareto-optimal solution. The task is to find the Pareto optimal trajectories with known vector-valued function, Nash arbitration scheme is proposed to choose as the only solution. But the Pareto-optimal set is still not enough to be able to work out a collective solution. It is necessary to determine the “fair”, from the point of view of all the players, method of choosing a terminal point from the Pareto-optimal set, since only one development outcome can really be realized. For this, in the classical theory there are various arbitration schemes.

Authors: Pushina N N , Sokolova N G , Koretskiy V P
Published: March 2020

Currently lean production techniques and tools penetrate into the industrial enterprises: System 5S, Continuous Flow, Gemba (“the actual place”), Kanban (“Pulling System), KPI, Key indicators, etc. The article is aimed to analyse the experience of implementing lean production instruments on the example of large industrial enterprises. The main goal of lean production is reduction of wastes which do not add value to the product. Implementation of the lean production technologies has costs of introduction that means need of assessment of cost efficiency of projects on implementation of lean production technologies. At the same time, it is important to develop instriments for making decision on expediency of introduction of lean production tools at preliminary stages. Two main tools are offered in this article. The first is an indicator of cost efficiency of introduction of lean production instruments. This indicator shows that the project will be effective if gain of the outputs exceeds the costs of introduction. The second one is a method of calculation of the maximum costs of introduction of lean production tools when the project is effective. The developed instruments were approved on the example of introduction of lean production instruments in Kalashnikov Concern and JSC Elecond which are two large scaled machine-building enterprises. The results of approbation demonstrate the practical importance of the carried-out research.

Authors: Alekseev G V , Eliseeva S A , Sergacheva E S
Published: March 2020

The article deals with issues related to the assessment of the rheological characteristics of modified pastes from salmon and low-valued fish breeds. The current trend of processing low-value fish raw materials is accompanied by a search for new technologies that have not been used before and develops in two directions: the development of methods for manufacturing traditional products based on low-value fish raw materials and the production of protein-containing products, such as protein isolates, hydrolysates, and food fish meal, protein mass, minced fish, etc. This is due to the fact that about a third of the total world catch of all of catched hydrobionts is used to the production of feed products and fish flour. At the same time, a lot of the small-sized fish breeds used for these purposes, although of small size, are little different in terms of chemical composition and nutritional value from those traditionally used, such as salmon species. So that they can be considered as an additional valued fish raw materials reserve for the preparation of food. The most promising recognized is the production of fish mince and the creation on its basis of various types of molded and structured products. The particular importance is the use of small-sized non-fatty fish, the mince from which is modified by the inclusion of food waste from valuable species of fish obtained by cutting of them. This allows you to send additional reserves of valuable food raw materials to produce food instead of using it for production of feeding.

Authors: Priimak E , Razina I
Published: March 2020

For organizations which operate a system of pipeline transport of hydrocarbons, improving the quality of its construction means reducing the cost of diagnosis and repair, liquidity accidents and its consequences during operation, improving reliability, durability and environmental safety of facilities in service. Taking into account the increasing need for the construction of hydrocarbon pipeline transport systems in Russia, the issues of improving the theoretical approaches and methods of practical implementation of the tasks of improving its quality are getting particular relevance and importance. The most promising method for solving the problems of improving the competitiveness of products and services while reducing production costs is functional cost analysis (FCA). It is based on the following statement: each object is made or exists in order to meet certain needs (to perform its functions). It requires certain expenditures to create these functions in the object. It is obvious that if the functions are not needed, then the cost of their creation is also unnecessary.

In the research we tried to show the advantages of using the FCA in the investment holding company “IHC “Tatgazinvest”, which carries out work on the gasification of industrial and social objects of the Republic of Tatarstan under the program of OJSC “Gazprom”. As a result, we revealed some functions where the share of costs exceeds its importance and represents zones of disproportions. It is also revealed that the decisive factor of disproportions zones appearance is the influence of secondary functions. The discovered areas of disproportions were analyzed in order to eliminate it. As a result of the analysis, we put forward proposals to improve the quality of construction and installation works and evaluated their organizational and economic importance.

Authors: Pastukhova E Ya , Morozova E A , Kochneva O P , Logunov T A
Published: March 2020

The most vital component of human, labour capital, the foundation of public welfare of a country and its regions is population health. Development of Russian regions without taking into account the health factor will be limited in its nature. The study examines the impact of the health indicators of Kemerovo Region’s population on the social and economic development of the region. We used data on morbidity and mortality by main categories of causes, indicators of gross regional product per capita, money income per capita and absolute poverty incidence in Kemerovo Region for 2003–2017. The impact of health indicators on key regional development indicators was studied on the basis of correlation and regression analysis. A statistically significant relationship has been established between the incidence of active tuberculosis, mortality from circulatory system diseases, deaths from external causes and indicators of the social and economic development of Kuzbass. The incidence of active tuberculosis, mortality from suicides and accidental alcohol poisoning has a significant negative impact on the gross regional product. Mortality from circulatory system diseases and accidental alcohol poisoning results in reduction in the level of nominal money incomes of the population. The increase in absolute poverty incidence is significantly affected by mortality from suicides, from accidental alcohol poisoning and all causes of external mortality in the aggregate. The research results can be recommended for use in the strategic planning of the development of the region.

Authors: Efimtseva T
Published: March 2020

This article is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of relations arising on the rights to the results of intellectual activity. Today it has become clear that intellectual property contributes to technological progress, economic growth and improvement of living standards of the population. In this regard, scientific research and technical achievements are given increased attention, both individual States and their associations. Moreover, some results of intellectual activity can be obtained only if the efforts of specialists from different countries are combined, and some projects can be implemented exclusively by joint means of States and business. All this leads to the idea of international scientific and technical cooperation, which can be effective in the development and adoption of balanced legislation that meets the interests of all stakeholders.

Authors: Zhukova I
Published: March 2020

The paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of mining industry management in Russia. The author offers new methods and innovative techniques of managing the industry and of reproduction of mineral resources.

There are no regulatory documents allowing to evaluate the efficiency of mining industry management, no concept of developing relations in the sphere of subsoil use, including strategic mineral resources; and no regulations, providing the procedure for the application of legislation in the sphere of subsoil use.

A modern management paradigm is based on creating conditions for the integration of information flows, inventories, data bases and technologies necessary for the situation analysis and making management decisions.

Strategic management allows to identify the potential of the mineral complex. However, the efficiency of the used method can be achieved if the response to environmental changes and trends is timely.

The author of the article makes an attempt to rank problems in the mining industry, offers the ways of solving them and analyzes legislation in the sphere of subsoil use.

The results of research, presented in the paper, serve as a basis for further consideration of the problems and for working out a model aimed at increasing the management system adaptability to rapidly changing environmental conditions.

The article is concerned with topical issues of the Arctic governance. The main motives of the growing interest of the world community to this region are revealed. A comparative analysis of the conceptual framework and key priorities of the Arctic policy of the Russian Federation and other circumpolar powers based on the study of their national Arctic strategies was treated. The main difference of the Russian model of the Arctic management is the priority of the exploitation of natural resources, while the policy of foreign countries is aimed primarily at the sustainable development of the Arctic territories. In our opinion, practical implementation of the model when the state vector of the Arctic policy is focused primarily on the social component as the basis for the integrated balanced development of the Arctic zone and ensuring the national security of this country is more advisable for Russia. That is, the implementation of the sustainable development model of the Arctic territories, the main elements of such are rational and careful environmental management in the Arctic; limiting the negative impact on the environment and preserving biodiversity; focusing national policies not only on the indigenous, but also on the local population; improving their quality and living standards; close international cooperation at the municipal, regional and world levels. This study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project № 19-18-00025.

Published: March 2020

In this article, the authors consider the dominant theories of regional growth and new forms of organization of industrial production in regional economy. They attempt to distinguish common sources of growth immanent to the regional systems, and show how the regional economy can transfer from stagnation to slow growth and at last to the situation when the growth becomes an optimal regional economic phenomenon. The meso-economic analysis contains a certain value system, affects the interests of various population groups and acquires a distinct social orientation. The development of innovative meso-economy is accelerated under the influence of modern digital revolution. This updates the theories of innovative regional economy. The active and direct participation of the state in the investment process, the planning and programming of innovative economic activity of the region are required to overcome the rigidities of the regional economy quickly. Increased investment should cause cumulative growth of income and achievement of full employment in the region. There will be created the conditions that provide opportunities for reinvesting the profits of entrepreneurs, mobilizing the endogenous industrial resources and diffusing the growth impulse arising from innovative sectors all over the regional economy. The structure of the regional industry undergoes numerous changes while modernization; all its elements pass through various stages of renewal.

Objectives: To research intersectoral interaction in agricultural production, considering price influence on the part of production and consumption. The object is the dynamic series of indices of production of crop products and livestock, along with indices of producer prices from agriculture and consumer price indices for food products in general for the Russian Federation. It was supposed to use the results of research in the process of management and Forsyth agribusiness at the federal and regional levels.

Methods: A general exploratory analysis of data was used as the essential tool for analysis, and the vector model of correction of errors (VECM) reveals the bidirectional influence of factors on each other with adjustment on long-term co-integration. A test on the Granger causality was also performed.

Results: Based on the received data, it is possible to conclude the extraordinary influence of livestock indices on the other ones that were possibly caused by economic and institutional peculiarities of the Russian agrarian-industrial complex and agricultural production. Accordingly, the authors proposed the main directions of the transformation of the agribusiness management system at the level of specific organizations and institutions of regional management. Adaptive and constructive approaches in the transformation of the control system will allow overcoming the trap of extensive development.

The investigation is focused on solving the problems of protein deficiency in the diets of the megacities population and on the cost-effective utilization of the offal from processing salmon fishes through the development of energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology for the potato snacks production. The aim of the work is to study the process of obtaining extruded expanded potato-based snacks in a single-screw extruder and to develop through an empirical research a method of industrial production of potato snacks enriched with proteins from the offal of processing salmon fishes. As a result of the study, it was established that the addition of 10% of offal salmon fish powder processing to potato flakes provided a fairly high nutritional value, good organoleptic and physic-chemically parameters in all extrudate samples. We also established the kinetics of extrusion of the fish-potato mixture, more specifically, we found out that the dependences between the initial moisture content in the mixture and the pressure in the extruder chamber, and between the initial humidity and the temperature in the chamber are inversely proportional; the dependence between the expansion ratio and the starch content in the extruded mixture is directly proportional, and the dependence between the expansion ration and the molding channel diameter is inversely proportional. Solutions obtained in the investigation can be used by enterprises engaged in the production of extruded snacks in order to optimize the working conditions of extrusion of potato extrudates and to reduce production costs.

This paper is devoted to considering a system of psychological barriers which can result from professional activities of a modern engineer. It is based on the content analysis of tasks typical for engineer’s professional activity. It is discovered that implementation of engineer’s professional activities causes barriers reflecting difficulties of professional skills: emotional, motivational, cognitive, operational, and others.

The experimental study of psychological barriers among engineers of different experience groups was carried out on the basis of the method of expert evaluations. The most significant difficulties identified in all groups of experts are value and motivating, reflective, of creative constriction, subject-subject relationship, communication. It is shown that the identified system of psychological barriers allows to apply corrective actions for engineers to develop their barrier resistance to improve their professional activity in general.

A significant part of the equipment in the food industry uses abrasive effect (for example, peeling of grain and its grinding). In this case, the object is initially assumed to be continuously in contact with the working body. Recent research in the field of food processing one of the ways to improve energy saving is a discrete energy supply, that is, intermittent contact of the object being processed with an abrasive. Assuming that technically the organization of such a process is possible, the question of the technological parameters of the process should be resolved. This question essentially depends on the design of the working bodies and technological regimes and can only be solved empirically, then to solve the second (observance of a certain temperature regime) some analytical and numerical estimates can be made [1-5].
