Authors: Kamenik L.L.
Published: June 2017

This study substantiates the necessity of transition from the natural resource model of socioeconomic development towards an industrially reproducible type of raw material, which is particularly relevant in the context of the global resource crisis. The key role of innovative technologies in the solution to this problem is questioned. Theoretical and methodological principles of the modern economy functioning are examined based on the resource factor. A new concept of “resource recycling”, which reflects industrial resource recovery, is introduced. An innovative model of a resource base for economic reproduction is provided, the necessity of transition from the existing linear economic model towards a closed resource cycle model is shown, and three resource cycle models are examined in terms of their objectives, forms, and content. The major problems in the implementation of the innovative model and ways of solving them are defined, which makes it possible to reduce the risk of a resource provision crisis. The conclusion that resource recycling serves as a new sphere of innovative technologies is substantiated. The historical analogy method and the evolutionary systems approach are used.

Authors: Babkin A. , Vertakova Y. , Plotnikov V.
Published: June 2017

The cluster approach, i.e., forming basic innovative and industrial clusters is widely applied in modern Russian conditions for the development of the economy. These actions are considered as effective measures for implementing the economic policy stimulating regional development by federal and regional authorities. The analysis we carried out showed that the quantitative approach for assessing the efficiency of cluster creation and performance is still insufficiently used. In this paper we establish and quantitatively estimate the influence cluster have on the regional economy using regression analysis with an example of a number of Russian regional clusters. Expanding the practice of creation and the state support of clusters taking into account the revealed quantitative dependences estimating their efficiency is suggested. We have advanced the hypothesis that clustering has a positive influence on regional economy, and confirmed this influence by means of quantitative methods using representative datasets. Our study of course had a selective character as it is not possible to carry out the calculations for all the existing clusters and cluster initiatives of Russia and discuss the results within a single article. At the same time, following the analysis we performed, we concluded that it is effective to initiate cluster creation in Russian regions. It is shown that cluster activity is capable to have of having a positive impact on GRP growth and the budgetary income in the region. Along with that, we note the dissimilarities in the multiplying influence of clusters on the regional development, its dependence on territorial and branch specifics that will be the direction for a further indepth study.

Authors: Prilutskay Maria , Krilatkov Petr , Norkina Olga
Published: June 2017

Multidirectional tendencies of machine-building enterprises integration and disintegration resulted in the emergence of the formal and informal associations. These associations consist of the obviously and/or implicitly affiliated legal entities. Thus, a new element appears in the direct enterprise environment, i.e a management company or a head enterprise. The management company influences the participants even in an informal association. New environment restrictions led to the changes in the management structure. The paper considers the enterprise structures interrelation: organizational, financial, production, resource, and others. The authors draw a conclusion that the structures are hierarchy, and there are the coherence structures assessment criteria. The coordinated structures form the structural capacity of the enterprise. The suggested assessment coherence criteria (for example resource and functional structures) allow estimating the structural potential and defining the directions of the enterprise efficiency increase.

Authors: Oleinik Elena
Published: June 2017

Modern conditions of economic systems development have necessitated more precise directions of investment process for the economic growth to accelerate. The precipitous fall of oil prices that occurred in the second half of 2014 weighed heavily on foreign direct investment flows to oilexporting countries. The problem of attracting investment is one of the key problems of economic development. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the shifts in the structure of investments, the study of the structure of investments to the Russian economy. Structural changes result from differences in the growth rate of the elements forming an economic system. An integral coefficient has been used for evaluation of structural changes. Multiple regression was used to analyze the impact of various factors on the change in structure of investment. The regression coefficients in the model give quantitative assessment of the pace of change in the structure as it depends on a specific factor. The model estimation shows that the variables “share of investments in manufacturing” (positive influence) and “share of investments in the health, physical culture, education” (negative influence) have the largest t-values. Hence, these two factors influence the structural changes in investments most strongly The evaluation and analysis of the structural shifts may lead to conclusions regarding the efficiency of the structure investment and adjustment of the economic policy.

Modeling the formation of an industrial enterprise operating income
Authors: Myznikova T.N. , Bunova E.V. , Yaroslavova E.N.
Published: June 2017

The developed economic and mathematical model of the industrial enterprise’s operating income formation allows to reveal cause-and-effect relations and to form a mechanism of influence of initial (base) indicators on the studied index (operating income of a business entity). The model is based on the regression analysis. The base indicators forming the economic and mathematical model are grouped into two blocks: production assets and labour resources influencing the enterprise’s financial standing, namely, its operating income. This grouping allows to evaluate efficiency of the influence of production assets and labour resources on the enterprise’s potential at taking of justified management decisions. The mechanism of the enterprise’s industrial potential management modeling includes analysis of base indicators (factors) of each of the considered blocks. With the help of the developed economic and mathematical model, by setting base values of factors, we can consider their influence on the resulting index — operating income of any business entity; and vice versa, by setting the resulting index we can analyze the influence of base indices for efficient management of the industrial enterprise’s operating income.

Performance management of investment projects based on real option theory and method of analysis of hierarchies
Authors: Baev L.A. , Egorova O.V.
Published: June 2017

The article is devoted to the development of the method for evaluation and control of investment projects efficiency in conditions of high uncertainty. There are marked the limitations of the traditional evaluation methods of investment projects efficiency and proposed more relevant approach based on the application of real option theory, which allows evaluating projects with consideration of their multivariate and opportunity of decision making at every stage of their development. The article shows that, despite the high relevance of real option theory, its practical use is very difficult for a number of reasons. The main problem in estimating the value of real options is the need to use a sufficient number of a priori statistics regarding the project, which in practice is difficult. The authors propose a method in which the probabilistic characteristics of the model project are replaced with the correct expert ratings, named the modified ROV – method (MROV). The method is based on the binomial model of real option value assessing, based on the building of a decision tree, at each node of which there is possible the development according to the “optimistic” or “pessimistic” forecast. Since the development of the project under any scenario depends on a number of criteria environments, the task of assessing the value of real options becomes a multicriteria task. One of the most reasonable and practically relevant methods of solving such problems is the method of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which is used in the basis of the developed MROV-method. The article also details the algorithm of the method application to determine quantitative estimates of the relative probabilities of the development of the project on “optimistic” or “pessimistic” scenario in each node of the binomial tree. Obtained estimates are used as weights in the calculation of the net present value of the optional investment project for a decision on the feasibility of its realization and inclusion in the project evaluated real options.

The method of assessment of economic sustainability of a manufacturing enterprise proposed in the study allows to reveal some weaknesses in the enterprise performance, and untapped reserves, which can be further used to improve the economic sustainability and efficiency of the enterprise. The management of manufacturing enterprise economic sustainability is one of the most important factors of business functioning and development in modern market economy. The relevance of this trend is increasing in accordance with the objective requirements of the growing volumes of production and sale, the increasing complexity of economic relations, changing external environment of an enterprise.

During the global economic instability, demand in developing toolkit which helps to mitigate the negative impact of environmental factors on efficiency of activity of the enterprise is increasing dramatically. However, in practice implementation of any of the tools causes the growth of additional costs, which, for purposes of effective functioning of mini-economic system must be covered by the profit’s increase from the introduction of this toolkit. The task’s implementation was achieved by processing a significant amount of scientific and statistical literature and calculation of integral indicators of the effectiveness of controlling system’s implementation at the enterprises. The analysis revealed a positive effect of the implementation of controlling system on the quality of decisions, efficiency of management, productivity, investment attractiveness, effectiveness of workflow and financial stability, and calculated the average integral efficiency indicators. The obtained results allow to make an unambiguous conclusion about the effectiveness of the controlling system’s implementing, which is especially important during the period of economic globalization and the growth of perturbations in the external environment, the efficiency reserves identified in the operation of the controlling system can and should be a certain buffer to reduce the negative impact of external factors on the sustainability of the enterprise.

Die Kommission 1.4 Anhaltszahlen/Qualitätssicherung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurologie hat 2016 mit Bezug auf das Jahr 2015 erneut eine Erhebung zur Struktur neurologischer Kliniken durchgeführt. Eine hohe Teilnahmequote von 62 % und ein weitgehend konstanter Fragebogen ermöglichten Vergleiche mit den Vorumfragen zu den Bezugsjahren 2013 und 2011.

Eigene neurologische Intensivbetten halten nur noch eine Minderzahl neurologischer Kliniken vor. Dagegen ist die Rund-um-die-Uhr-Präsenz in interdisziplinären Notaufnahmen Standard geworden. Obwohl sich das Fach im Kontext der akuten Schlaganfallversorgung immer mehr zum Notfallfach entwickelt und 2015 die Thrombektomie erstmals als State-of-the-art-Methode zur Behandlung bestimmter, in der Akutsituation zu selektionierender Schlaganfallpatienten anzusehen war, stagnierte die infrastrukturelle Ausstattung der Kliniken.

Während Bettenzahl, Casemix und Casemix-Index weitgehend unverändert zu den Vorjahren waren, nahmen die Fallzahlen weiter zu und die durchschnittliche Verweildauer stark ab, letztere sank auf nunmehr 5,4 Tage. Bei der Personalausstattung fielen weiter erhebliche Unterschiede auf, bei vielfältigen Aufgaben der Kliniken außerhalb des DRG-Bereiches. Es gelang nicht, Erlösanteile aus DRG von Nicht-DRG-Erlösen als Abgrenzkriterium zu erfragen, da diese Zahlen den Klinikleitungen offenbar nicht transparent sind. Im Bereich ärztliches Personal waren Engpässe seltener (6 %), jedoch mussten 22 % der Kliniken wegen Pflegenotstand und zusätzliche 2 % der Kliniken wegen Ärzte- und Pflegenotstand ihre Versorgung einschränken. Die Skepsis gegenüber der Wirksamkeit von Zertifizierungen auf die Behandlungsqualität nahm ab, es wurden wertvolle Vorschläge für ergebnisorientierte Qualitätsparameter von Behandlungen in neurologischen Kliniken gemacht, die prozessorientierte Kriterien für Zertifizierungen und bei Qualitätssicherungsmaßnahmen ergänzen oder ersetzen könnten.

Purpose As a supra-regional level-I trauma center, we evaluated computed tomography (CT) acquisitions of polytraumatized patients for quality and dose optimization purposes. Adapted statistical iterative reconstruction [(AS)IR] levels, tube voltage reduction as well as a split-bolus contrast agent (CA) protocol were applied.

Materials and Methods 61 patients were split into 3 different groups that differed with respect to tube voltage (120 – 140 kVp) and level of applied ASIR reconstruction (ASIR 20 – 50 %). The CT protocol included a native acquisition of the head followed by a single contrast-enhanced acquisition of the whole body (64-MSCT). CA (350 mg/ml iodine) was administered as a split bolus injection of 100 ml (2 ml/s), 20 ml NaCl (1 ml/s), 60 ml (4 ml/s), 40 ml NaCl (4 ml/s) with a scan delay of 85 s to detect injuries of both the arterial system and parenchymal organs in a single acquisition. Both the quantitative (SNR/CNR) and qualitative (5-point Likert scale) image quality was evaluated in parenchymal organs that are often injured in trauma patients. Radiation exposure was assessed.

Results The use of IR combined with a reduction of tube voltage resulted in good qualitative and quantitative image quality and a significant reduction in radiation exposure of more than 40 % (DLP 1087 vs. 647 mGyxcm). Image quality could be improved due to a dedicated protocol that included different levels of IR adapted to different slice thicknesses, kernels and the examined area for the evaluation of head, lung, body and bone injury patterns. In synopsis of our results, we recommend the implementation of a polytrauma protocol with a tube voltage of 120 kVp and the following IR levels: cCT 5mm: ASIR 20; cCT 0.625 mm: ASIR 40; lung 2.5 mm: ASIR 30, body 5 mm: ASIR 40; body 1.25 mm: ASIR 50; body 0.625 mm: ASIR 0.

Conclusion A dedicated adaptation of the CT trauma protocol (level of reduction of tube voltage and of IR) according to the examined body region (head, lung, body, bone) combined with a split bolus CA injection protocol allows for a high-quality CT examination and a relevant reduction of radiation exposure in the examination of polytraumatized patients
