Supply Chain Management in High-Tech Industries Clusterization: Market Monopoly or Development of Competitive Advantages?

Abstract— With the rapid industrial cluster development, in particular the development of high-tech cluster, the supply chain management strategy in cluster is also undergoing profound changes. The study uses open-source statistical data, as well as research results and world rankings as the basis for a descriptive analysis of the external environment for the development of high-tech industries. Two main indicators were selected for the analysis: the GDP per capita growth rate and the level of information and communication development, which are used to assess competitiveness, the level of economic development, innovation and entrepreneurship. The purpose of the study is to examine the features of the innovation policy of developed countries and its impact on supply chain management in high tech industries for clustering them. As a result, it was concluded that the modern macroeconomic environment is characterized by digital transformation trends, as well as decreased geographical influences. Industrial supply chain managements are developed based on the interaction of environmental factors, demand conditions, production factors, and auxiliary industries

Role of agricultural clusters in provision of food security

The article is devoted to determination of the role of agricultural clusters in provision of food security. The authors analyzed the statistics of The Global Food Security Index of 2014 in the developing and developed countries and found out that the problem of provision of food security is very urgent in developing countries, which necessitates the search for effective tools for increasing the food security, one of which is creation of agricultural clusters. For the purpose of solving this task, the authors offer the model of uniting manufacturers and processers of agricultural production into a system which allows determining the mechanisms of their organization into the system of agricultural cluster. The authors allocated the following main courses of the increase of the food security by means of development of agricultural complex, through formation of agricultural clusters: development of the sectors of agricultural cluster, implementation of deep specialization, attraction of young specialists into agricultural cluster, increasing the qualification of staff in agriculture and agricultural processing, stipulating the promotion and consumption of local production, creation of regional association for the increase of efficiency of cooperation between members, attraction of investments, cooperation with regional bodies of executive power and federal bodies of state power.peer-reviewe

Congenital muscular hypotonia

IMSP Institutul Mamei şi Copilului, Departamentul Pediatrie, USMF „ Nicolae Testemiţanu”Congenital muscular hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone, often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerves control by the brain or muscle strength. Recognizing hypotonia, even in early infancy, is usually relatively straightforward, but diagnosing the underlying cause can be difficult and often unsuccessful [1, 2]. The long-term effects of hypotonia on child development and later life depend primarily on the severity of the muscle weakness and the nature of the cause [4]

Technical requirements for translucent structures of schools and kindergartens

The article presents some features of the translucent structures design of schools and kindergartens. The analysis of technical requirements for translucent structures of schools and kindergartens was represented. Based on a review of the typical composition of the premises of schools and kindergartens, it was found that different technical requirements should be established for translucent structures installed in rooms of various functional purposes and operating conditions. It was determined that the existing construction practice doesn’t take into account the differentiation of requirements for translucent structures of various premises of schools and kindergartens, and their design, as a rule, is taken to be the same for the entire construction objects. In future, it leads to disruption of the normal operation of the facility (especially in terms of ensuring normal temperature and humidity conditions and natural lighting of the premises). The features of the replacement of translucent structures in reconstructed schools and kindergartens were considered. It has been revealed that the use of modern types of translucent structures of standard construction (first of all, PVC window units) in the reconstruction leads to a significant decrease in the indicators of natural room lighting. Ways to solve this problem were given. Moreover, perspective directions for future research of the issue under consideration were considered
