This article substantiates the influence of mechanisms, methods, and technologies of a functional representation of group interests on the strategic management of socio-economic processes in the context of geopolitical turbulenc

Addressing retained austenite stability in advanced high strength steels

Advances in the development of new high strength steels have resulted in microstructures containing significant volume fractions of retained austenite. The transformation of retained austenite to martensite upon straining contributes towards improving the ductility. However, in order to gain from the above beneficial effect, the volume fraction, size, morphology and distribution of the retained austenite need to be controlled. In this regard, it is well known that carbon concentration in the retained austenite is responsible for its chemical stability, whereas its size and morphology determines its mechanical stability. Thus, to achieve the required mechanical properties, control of the processing parameters affecting the microstructure development is essential

Development of the Personnel Risks Assessment and Supply Chain Strategy as a Basis of the Risk Management System of Modern Organizations

The integration of risk management technologies into the business processes of modern organizations serves as the key to highly efficient, stable and sustainable development of any business entity by considering the supply chain strategy. The sphere of management of personnel flows of organizations calls for special attention and needs an adaptive, flexible and integrated risk management system able to ensure both the timely achievement of strategic goals and a high level of personnel security of organizations. The objective of the study is to analyze existing personnel risks and develop an adaptive, universal methodology for assessing their likelihood, with further modeling of possible risk scenarios. In the framework of the study, a two-stage method for estimating the probability of occurrence of 30 personnel risks characteristic of different types of personnel flows was tested. Possible scenarios were simulated using the Scenario Manager method. Modern Russian trade organizations seeking to build an effective personnel security management system can use the methodical approach proposed by the authors in their risk management system

Profitable Production as a Socio-Economic Based on Supply Chain Management with Lean Production

Abstract— The article discusses organizational, economic and managerial relations that determine the supply chain management and the system of elements of “lean production” in human resource management. The essence and interrelation of the management system of organizational behavior and elements of corporate Lean culture are revealed, the possible directions of the influence of lean production culture on the organizational behavior of employees, considering the specifics of the personnel management of a particular organization, are substantiated. It was concluded that the basis of the strategy of managing organizational behavior should be a “lean” approach, involving the creation of a corporate culture of lean manufacturing, conditions for managing group work, corporate communications, managing teams, and leaders able to unlock the potential of employees. The main principles of a lean approach are: “sustainable socio-economic development is transformation in the minds and actions of personnel” and “lean synergy is a factor and resource for increasing productivity”

Neuroprotective effects of the novel ethylthiadiazole derivatives (LHT 4-15) in male rats

The study was performed on male rats of the Wistar line. The animals were simulated with total cerebral ischemia with preliminary administration of LHT 4-15 compounds in doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg for 60 min. The data obtained from the neurological deficit and in the behavioral tests of the experimental groups confirm the theory of the presence of ethylthiadiazole derivatives under the LHT code 4–15 neuroprotective properti

Study of dose-dependent effect of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3 hydroxypyridine succinate on the contractile function of isolated rat heat

In experiments on the isolated rat heart there were studied the effects of different doses (21.43 mg/kg/day and 85 . 72 mg/kg/day) 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3 hydroxypy ridine succinate ("EkoPharmInvest", Russia), on the contractile function of isolated hearts subjected to prior doxorubicin model (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) of pathology. The dynamic of the power mechanisms of ion transport was evaluated by imposing high h eart rate (480 BPM) and increase concentration of Са2+ to 5 mmol in perfusat

Research Notes : U.S.S.R. : Subunit composition of glycinin from various samples of cultivated and wild soybean

The major storage protein of llS class of soybean seeds, glycinin, has a complex subunit structure. Each of the six subunits is composed of two pro-tein molecules (acidic and basic), linked via disulphide bonds (Badley et al., 1975). Depending on subunit, the acidic moiety molecular weight varies from 37,000 to 42,000, with one exception (m.w. 10,000)

Exercise testing of elite rowers: Comparison of methods and protocols

The aim of the study was to search for appropriate, informative, accessible and reproducible method for testing of elite rowers. Six healthy elite rowers (5 male and 1 female) aged 24±7 underwent two types of exercise testing (ET). Exercise performance of rowers was evaluated by means of: i) standard maximal RAMP cycle test, which is considered to be the gold standard measurement in sports medicine; ii) ET specific for rowers with the use of Concept rowing machine. Both protocols of ET were designed according to International Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription Tests were conducted with simultaneously HR monitoring (Garmin) and breath-by-breathe gas-exchange analysis with the use of desktop metabolic analyzer Fitmate PRO (Cosmed, Italy). A range of physiologic parameters were under consideration: VO2, HR, attained power, minute ventilation and anaerobic threshold (AT). Undertaken comparative analysis demonstrated no significant differences in major analysed physiologic parameters during both tests. The obtained data enabled us to conclude that cycling ET with the use of maximal ramp incremental protocol is an informative, accessible, reproducible and appropriate method for testing of elite rowers. Conducting both exercise tests cycling and rowing may highlight the limiting factors of specific physical workability in rowers.
