Scientific Bases of Spatial Development of Innovative Activity in the Territory of Russia
Authors: Kuleshova G I
Published: March 2020

The purpose of the study is to identify the Russian territories prepared to achieve a breakthrough in the field of innovation. The relevance is due to the declared leadership of the country in a number of documents and Federal programs aimed at accelerating the development of innovative economy. Usually, readiness for innovation is associated with the development of development institutions and service infrastructure of innovation. In this area, numerous borrowings were made and the real practice of large-scale Federal support for innovation centers in the way of expensive Greenfield ideology (Skolkovo, Innopolis) was implemented. However, to date, the domestic economy is not innovative. The problems of this lie in the fact that the most important questions have not been widely raised about how innovation differs from traditional scientific and technical activities, what is significant characteristic of the territory of the world-famous innovation centers in the economy of the West; in what urban conditions is the active development of innovation and whether it can provide, for example, science cities or innograd. These issues are relevant not only in the research area or for public education, but also fundamentally important for the development of regions seeking to actualize the innovative potential of specific territories. The study on the basis of extensive foreign experience (USA, Europe, Japan) examines the features of the territories characterized by the effective development of scientific and innovative activity. The hierarchy of the spatial organization of scientific and innovative activity is substantiated: Technopark-Technopolis - region of science. Given the typological characteristics of foreign science parks and regions of science. The list of Russian agglomerations that can be attributed to the regions of science is determined.

Published: March 2020

The article presents the analysis findings of the conceptual approaches by various scientists as per the digital platforms development in industry. Such platforms and technologies make a specific cluster of digital economy responsible for generating competencies that contribute to the development of markets and different economic sectors. The authors single out and make a case for three key approaches to the understanding of the idea behind the digital platforms, i.e. a digital platform as a complex of technologies, a digital platform as a business model and a digital platform as an enterprise providing for the mutually beneficial cooperation between the venders, producers and customers. The study has shown that while researching the conceptual basis of digital platforms development in industry a major role is played by digital twins. The analysis of Gartner Hype Cycle has proven the role of digital twins in the industrial IoT development. At the same time, the authors define the barriers in the industrial IoT development common for the industrial facilities in Russia. Additionally, it has been concluded that it is necessary to develop a single integrated digital platform for the needs of industry taking into account sector-specific issues. Networking is considered to be an effective strategy for the industry development. The implementation of digital design and modeling of smart digital twin is aimed at the transition of the industrial sector to technological paradigms V and VI.

Authors: Akulenko N B , Esina A R , Kucherenko A I
Published: March 2020

The article presents the results of the study of the impact of cost structure on the profitability of goods sold in the processing industries of Russia for the period from 2005 till 2017. This allowed the authors to conclude that the material and other costs of enterprises had a major influence on the dynamics of profitability. The total share of these costs during the study period was 84-85%. In addition, regression analysis showed the effects of changes in the share of material costs on the change in the share of other costs. The value of the coefficient of determination was 0.860487, which indicates a high dependence between the indicators under consideration. At the same time, the authors could not find such a close relationship between material costs and other cost elements.

In practice, the composition of the material costs of enterprises is quite clearly defined by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which simplifies their control. A wide list of costs included in other costs enables enterprises to manipulate these costs, because not always the priority objective of the organization is to improve the financial performance.

According to the authors, the development of industry guidelines for cost accounting and calculating the cost of production, the need for which is due to the influence of industry and technological features on the cost structure, the method of their planning and accounting will contribute to improving the financial performance of industrial enterprises.
Production System Management Based on a Balanced Development Model
Authors: Biryukova V V
Published: March 2020

The article shows that when developing a realistic vision of the industrial system, it is important to take into account those cardinal changes in the cognitive situation that have occurred in the economic science over the past three decades as a result of the economic community’s recognition of the insolvency of the Washington consensus doctrine. Based on this, the conceptual aspects of industrial policy and industrial production development are analyzed in the context of the Post-Washington Consensus. Based on this, the conceptual aspects of industrial policy and industrial production development are analyzed in the context of the Post-Washington Consensus, associated with the rethinking of the accumulated world experience of economic transformations and the formation of a new stage in the development of the mainstream economic theories. A conceptual model of balanced development of the industrial system is developed and justified on the example of a vertically integrated oil company.

The proposed model can be used in the formation of strategic plans for the industrial companies’ development.

Authors: Larchenko L V , Kolyshkin A V , Yakovleva T V
Published: March 2020

The article shows that the raw material development of the northern and Arctic regions, as shown by world and Russian practice, is extremely unstable. The reason for this is the depletion of the raw material base, fragile market conditions. In Russia, since the 1990s, there has been a decline in the reproduction of the mineral resource base. On the example of the Nenets Autonomous District, the problems of regional development and the reproduction of the mineral resource base are considered. The analysis showed that in the region there is an increase in the mono-branch nature of the economy, which is mainly focused on the exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. At the same time, the explored and put on the balance of oil reserves in the district are decreasing, since the main deposits were discovered and put on the balance in the Soviet time and today are close to exhaustion. The article shows that in order to avoid the dependence of the region on raw materials, the complex development of the resource area is necessary mainly through the diversification of primary industries and the restructuring of the regional economy. Maintaining oil production is possible only with the intensive preparation of new reserves, which requires large-scale exploration and significant financial costs, including governmental.

Published: March 2020

Based on the analysis of various methods the authors tried to form an integral method of assessment of the investment attractiveness using the most important indicators of the company. Studies showed that only six out of thirteen companies have kept their rating. PJSC “Surgutneftegaz” - high investment attractiveness, PJSC “Severneftegazprom”, PJSC “NOVATEK” and JSC “Mur-manoblgaz” - moderate attractiveness, JSC “Sakhatransneftegaz” and PJSC “Tarmanskoe-zapadnoe” - low attractiveness. JSC “ALROSA-Gaz” and JSC “Sibneftegaz” downgraded their ratings and moved from the group with high and moderate attractiveness to the group with medium and low one. During the period under review most companies did not show steady investment attractiveness.

Integrated method and assessment of Arctic oil and gas companies based on it will allow investors to get additional data for making decisions on implementation of investment projects of the considered companies.

Further research is needed to develop a scientifically based methodological framework for assessing the investment attractiveness of industrial companies especially in the context of the specific conditions of the Arctic, the financial crisis and the ongoing sanctions from Western countries.

Authors: Romanov P G , Chakhov D K , Lavrov M F
Published: March 2020

The natural quality of forest resources of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of the Russian Federation is not sufficiently realized in the resulting products. Forest quality management does not meet the emerging challenges of globalization and international market relations. According to the indicators of the State Program “Forestry Development of the Russian Federation for 2013-2020”, the volume of payments to the budget system of the Russian Federation from the used forests located on forest land per 1 ha of the forest fund of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is 3 rubles in 2016, and by 2020 this indicator should reach 5.7 rubles, i.e. it should increase by 90%. In Primorye, the same indicator should accordingly grow from 30 rubles in 2016 to 53.5 rubles by 2020, in the Amur region from 14 to 33.9 rubles, in Sakhalin from 17.6 to 33.1 rubles. The average indicators for the Russian Federation are 25.7 rubles, while the planned figures for 2020 are 48.7 rubles. The implementation of the task of full accounting of forest resources using modern methods of forest inventory, including space sensing of the earth, allows you to create a high-quality database that meets the requirements of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). FSC standards allow us to trace the origin of forest products, including forest biomass as a raw material for bioenergy. The most complete, up-to-date information will allow organizing effective scientific management of the quality of forest resources in the context of globalization.

Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the study of environmentally responsible (green) banking and the analysis “green” practice in Russia and abroad. The article develops the thesis about the importance of greening of financial decisions of commercial banks to create a sustainable economy. Based on the opinions of different researchers, the author’s decision that environmentally responsible banking is a strategically important format of bank activity, which guarantees the synergy of four effects: increasing the economic efficiency of banks, forming the social image of banks, reducing the harmful effects on the ecosystem and generating future social benefits. The authors systematized internal and external elements of green banking. Internal elements are remote methods of customer service, the introduction of paperless workflow and “smart” equipment. External elements include green lending, issue of green securities, affinity card issuance and ecology charity. Comparative analysis in the BRICS countries showed that the most progressive “green” practice is implemented in Brazil and China. India and Russia took a backward position. It is established that the Bank of Russia, unlike regulators of other countries, does not play the role of “driver” of ecologically responsible activity of commercial banks.

Published: March 2020

The development of a modern city is unthinkable without the reconstruction of dilapidated or construction of new buildings, the modernization of existing and the creation of modern territories and public spaces in order to increase the attractiveness of Russian settlements. It has been revealed that modern trends in the development of the urban environment are aimed at overcoming archaic associations, shaping the environment, taking into account the needs of residents. However, despite the implementation of various federal programs and regional subprograms developed on their basis to improve the quality of life of the Russian population, in each individual city in one degree or another there will be a lag behind the ideal model of comfort in the urban environment.

The article presents the results of a survey of the Penza city territory. Monitoring the general state of quality of the urban environment and indicators of housing construction made it possible to identify the main problems of non-compliance with modern safety requirements, environmental friendliness, accessibility and aesthetics. Microdistricts of the city with a high, medium and low assessment of the quality of the urban environment were identified In the course of the study. Comparison of the obtained results with a more ideal model of the balance of the territory of the microdistrict has identified specific problems that reduce the overall assessment of the quality of the urban environment of Penza.

The identified weaknesses in the management of the development of the city territory require the development of a system of measures aimed at improving the quality and increasing the comfort of the urban environment.

Authors: Rengold O V , Chernikova A E , Sidorova T P , Rengold E Yu
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the relationship analysis indicators of economic effect and efficiency of the freight road transport enterprises in modern economic conditions. The main indicators characterizing the relationship between revenue and costs of a freight transportation company are financial stability and operating leverage. Using the liquidity ratio of the cash flow, the optimal criteria for these indicators were obtained, as well as the share of fixed costs in revenue, which determine the increase in solvency of freight road transport enterprises. At the same time, the optimal levels of the specified financial and economic indicators are considered in the context of seasonality and size of economic entities. The optimal levels of indicators are determined separately for large freight road transport enterprises with more than one hundred units of rolling stock and for medium cargo road transport enterprises with up to one hundred units of rolling stock. To assess the performance of freight trucking companies, profitability indicators are used, in particular cost-effectiveness. The indicator of profitability of costs allows you to set the marginal rate based on the market situation and the level of costs, as well as determine the revenue from sales, taking into account the established tariff. Using indicators that have an impact on the change in the value of cost-effectiveness, the minimum possible value of the indicator was obtained, which determines the lower limit of the sustainable functioning of freight road transport enterprises, determining the excess of income over expenditure.

Authors: Savin A V , Matveev G S
Published: March 2020

The article discusses the possibilities of ensuring the economic security of Russian organizations of agricultural machinery industry for the period up to 2024. The problem of the formation of effective demand for their products is proposed as a central task. The analysis of the current availability of agricultural equipment of Russian farmers is performed. The conclusion about the achievement of a critical level of availability of tractors and combines from agricultural producers is made. An explanation of the current low demand for agricultural machinery is given. The reason for this is the low profitability of agricultural producers, which is caused by the constant disparity of prices between industrial goods, energy resources and the prices of products sold by farmers, which leads to their excessive debt load. The actions of the Russian government in support of agricultural machinery in 2014-2018 are described. In order to forecast the demand for agricultural tractors, an economic-mathematical model has been developed. Three scenarios for the development of the Russian tractor market were prepared: pessimistic, median and optimistic. The measures to increase the production of tractors domestic industrial organizations are proposed. Based on the forecast of the development of the world and Russian grain markets, taking into account the achieved results in the framework of the program for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, the provision of equipment for Russian agricultural producers and the state of the machine park, the conclusion of possibility to increase the production of tractors in Russia is made.

Published: March 2020

The current state of the agricultural sector largely depends on various factors affecting the efficiency of production activities and improving the quality of products. A significant part of Russian farmers lag behind foreign agricultural producers both in terms of automation and mechanization of their production, and in terms of productivity of farm animals and grain crops. This result is explained by the low level of innovation in agricultural production, due to the low financial performance of their activities. Based on these facts, the purpose of the study was to form modern approaches to the activation of innovative processes in the agro-industrial complex of Russia. On the basis of official statistical data, the results of scientific research, data from leading publications on the subject under study, the paper used statistical and economic, monographic and computational and constructive method of scientific research. As a result of the research, the methodology for assessing budgetary efficiency has been improved. The necessity of creating a system of availability of new information on existing innovations to each agricultural producer regardless of the size and form of ownership is revealed. Initially, it can be presented in the form of public Advisory services operating in each municipal district. The constructive recommendations allowing developing the agrarian sphere more effectively taking into account special features of the Russian economy are presented.

Authors: Makarova V , Tkalich V
Published: March 2020

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and greening the economy, the functioning of industrial enterprises. It proposes the development of theoretical and applied-based foundations of metallurgical enterprises in the environmental field, through the development of an organizational-economic model for the revitalization of an enterprise based on the principle “technology - ecology - economy”, using the example of PJSC “Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant”, Ukraine. The involvement of raw materials of technogenic origin (waste slag and broken glass) in the production of non-autoclaved aerated concrete is economically feasible, since it contributes to reducing the cost of the material, as well as environmental sanitation.

The study of the five-year dynamics of the cost of the raw mix, taking into account the cost of electricity, indicates an increase in the cost of raw materials by almost two times in national currency, and a decrease in the cost in US dollars, which was due to a fall in the level of the national currency of Ukraine (hryvnia) by more than three times compared to the 2013 exchange rate. However, the economic efficiency of the use of waste in the production of aerated concrete is maintained, even an increase in the economic effect of their use is noted. When calculating indicators of the economic effect of waste disposal, taking into account the cost of maintaining dumps, a similar trend is observed when the salary share of the serving dump personnel changes.

Authors: Zhukova I , Zubarev A
Published: March 2020

In this article the results of researches of the authors according to the state of the mineral and raw complex of Russia are considered. According to the analysis of different data (standard, statistical and expert evaluations and also the other researches, scientific conferences and production reports, etc.) the authors come to a conclusion about a certain imbalance between the pricing and cost in the mineral and raw sector of economy. Some market mechanisms, such as the stock market, pricing on metals, various principles of pricing on mineral resources and also the cost of works and services when forming the cost of production influence on it. Difference in the price policy leads to the loss of reserves of minerals and strengthens the mineral resources exhaustion. On the basis of the logic-structural and complex analysis the authors come to a conclusion that for the mining industry there is important solution of a question of efficiency of use of the resource potential, and the models of management decisions on effective use of the resources actually remain not investigated. Methods of assessment of a ratio of different factors and their influence on the models of management decisions and the elements of organizational and economic mechanism of management are insufficiently developed.

Osteoporosis is one among them which is a low bone density disease which increases the porosity of the bone and leads to severe pain and fracture of the human bone. Women’s are most affected by this disease due to various reasons. It can be only predicted after the failure or fracture of the bone when the sudden impact of the load. The femur is the longest bone in the human body which is mainly affected by means of fracture due to osteoporosis. The strength of the bone mainly depends on its density and can be determined by the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test. Hence it is necessary to numerically predict the stress and deformation of bone for the osteoporosis patient in their daily activities. Nowadays many researches have been undergone in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of human bone in order to predict the stress and deformation when subjected to various loads in daily life. In this work, Structural analysis is carried out on femur bone which is modelled from CT scan report and material properties are assigned from osteoporosis patient. The loading conditions are based on the force which exerts on the femur bone during routine activities. The analysis is carried out with two different boundary conditions and it is seen that the femur head and distal end of the femur is subjected towards maximum normal stress and deformation.

The main objective of this present study is to fabricate functionally graded Aluminium alloy reinforced with silicon carbide composite by horizontal centrifugal casting process and investigate its erosion wear behaviour using Taguchi technique. Microstructural examination confirmed that the gradient structure across the radial direction and maximum particle reinforcement was found at the outer zone of the fabricated functionally graded metal matrix composite. Solid particle erosion wear experiments were carried out on the fabricated functionally graded metal matrix composite using abrasive air jet erosion test rig. Erosion process parameters such as zone distance from outer surface, Erodent velocity and Exposure time were examined using L9 orthogonal array table. The effect of erosion parameters on the erosion rate was investigated by signal-to-noise ratio and Analysis of Variance. Analysis of Variance result concluded that zone distance from the outer surface had 91.46% influence on erosion rate followed by exposure time (2.54%) and erodent Velocity (0.54%). Finally, regression equation was formed to find the optimal erosion rate and that has been validated by confirmatory experiment.

Plates are most important structural members finding applications in composite construction. Plates usually provided with holes meant of structural connections, service ducts, and ventilation services. The impact of holes in thin plates induces higher stress concentration and stress distribution parameters around the holes. This paper aims to analyze the impact of holes on thin plate subjected to uniform tensile load at its ends and its stress concentration factor. The parameters involved for the studies are number and the shape of the holes. The comparative study is made with analytical and numerical investigation on the plates with different d/D ratios. The variations in stress concentration factor for different d/D ratios are determined based on finite element analysis using ANSYS.

According to the old sayings, “All the glitters are not gold”. We should be very aware of this quote. Nowadays we don’t get a pure crystalline of gold (Au). The Gold (Au) cannot itself be made into proper jewellery, so it needs some impurities as such to make and sell them into a product. So, in olden days to till now the gold (Au) is mixed with Copper (Cu) to make it into a nice wearing’s and products. The Copper (Cu) is not only mixed with Gold (Au) it is also mixed with silver, Palladium, Platinum and more. Nowadays the iridium is mixed with gold to enhance the weight of the gold. Thus the gold sellers sell the iridium (Ir) mixed gold (Au) to the traders. Unknowingly the traders get the gold (Au) as of such in a high cost. The iridium (Ir) cannot be identified. It can be identified only when the gold (Au) is melted. The nature and property of gold remains the same when mixed with iridium, but the mass of the gold (Au) gets inflated. Thus the proposed system uses the x-ray to identify the Proportion of iridium (Ir) in gold (Au). The Controller senses the image captured the by the x-ray machines and matches them with the other samples taken from the pure Gold (Au) through Back Propagation algorithm and finds the error. The identification of such these will not cost more. It is highly efficient and traces the impurity in gold and provides the traders with at most satisfaction.

The failure analysis was carried out on a failed pinion gear which is used for power transmission system in the automobile sector. The pinion gear is made of case carburized steel with low nickel and chromium content and it also has undergone extensive corrosion due to an environmental problem. The teeth are badly damaged and corroded at the surface. However, the crack has occurred due to stress and it is found only in certain places. To improve the corrosion resistance, nickel and chromium content are added and also heat treatment is carried out. The mechanical properties and wear resistance are improved in EN24 steel when compared to failure gear and EN24 steel before heat treatment.
