The organization of russian power market in modern conditions

The issue of efficiency of energy markets draws high attention in almost all countries of the world. In order to solve this problem most of the developed countries have already restructured their vertically integrated power sectors. Our study focuses on the notion that liberalization of electricity market, which has already finished in many countries including USA, European countries and Russia, has a great impact on domestic economy performance. Russian model of the electricity market organization in terms of its liberalization is presented. The main features of functioning of different segments of wholesale and retail Russian energy markets are described. Particular attention is paid to the development of exchange activities in the power market. © IDOSI Publications, 2013

The liberalization of electricity market in Russia

Until the early 90's of the last century a vertically integrated monopoly structure was the main model of the organization of the power industry in most countries of the world. The quality of services and prices for electricity were regulated in different countries exclusively by the state authorities. However, it gradually became apparent that many of the positive features of the vertical integration, including in the first place the impact of economies of scale, ceased to play a significant role. By this time, most of the advanced and developing countries, including Russia, have realized the objective need for a review of the existing principles of power industry organization through the introduction of market mechanisms of its functioning. The study gives the overview of the aims and objectives of the reforms in the Russian electric power industry. Of special interest is the analysis of the experience in the energy markets restructuring in advanced and developing countries. The stages and main features of the restructuring of Russian energy market are shown. The model of liberalization for electric power market in Russia is represented. Particular attention is paid to the development of competition in the different segments of wholesale and retail power markets

Features of formation of the system of innovative development of the industrial enterprise

© Research India Publications. Modern conditions of functioning of industrial enterprises that are characterized by a high degree of uncertain behavior of the environment, as well as constant increased competition, determine the need for continuous improvement of not just production technologies but also control systems of various aspects of their production and business activities. In this regard, the formation of the system of innovative development of the industrial enterprise becomes a determining condition to further improve its competitiveness. However, the formation of such a system is connected with the need to resolve a number of methodological problems aimed at defining the concept of "the system of innovative development of the enterprise", its place in the system of strategic management of the enterprise, as well as at identifying the main stages of its formation. The article examines the existing approaches to the management of innovative activity of enterprises. Particular attention is paid to the definition of "the system of innovative development of the enterprise". A hierarchy of elements of the system of innovative development of the enterprise is suggested. The position that the system of innovative development of the enterprise must be logically built at all levels of its strategic management, including corporate, business and functional strategies, is substantiated. The steps of forming the system of innovative development of the enterprise that link developed and implemented innovative activities with the goals of the operation of the enterprise at different levels of strategic management are proposed

Inclusive Tourism: Concept and Essence

Inclusive tourism is a way of looking at tourism activities and services, involving all people, visitors and residents, in the same activities and creating dialogue, peace and human development. In turn, the dynamics of inclusive tourism is likely to depend on an economic model that reflects current trends in the personalization of the tourism offer. The aim of the research: to consider the issues of the conceptual apparatus of inclusive tourism, aspects of the formation of inclusive tourism. Research objective: to analyze the works of domestic and foreign scientists and specialists in the field of inclusive tourism, to offer the author’s definition of inclusive tourism. Research methods: analysis of normative legal documents, the method of comparative analysis and generalization, construction of own hypotheses. As a result of the study it was concluded that the analysis of the regulatory framework governing the development of tourism shows its insufficient perfection, as so far it does not reflect the development of inclusive tourism, also during the study of scientific research on this topic the author’s definition of “inclusive tourism” is given

Analysis of environment state in technogenic region and its threat to public health.

The purpose of the research is to give a complex hygienic evaluation of environment state in Donetsk region and to determine the degree of their potential danger to population health. It includes air pollution, water contamination, state of soil. Nearly 43000 samples of air, 32000 drinking water samples and 4500 soil samples were analyzed. Regions with the highest rate of environmental pollution were defined. It was found that the main sources of environment pollution in Donetsk region are ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy enterprises, power, coal, building industry and transport. All other sources ac­count for only 5-10% of total emissions. Level of harmful technogenic pressing on population’s health was determined

The discrimination between phospholipids of diverse structure and phosphacoumarins of various hydrophobicity through fluorescent response of Tb-doped silica nanoparticles decorated by cationic surfactant

The work represents colloids of silica nanoparticles displaying fluorescent response on biorelevant compounds exemplified by phosphacoumarins and phospholipids. The luminescent properties of the colloids arise from Tb(III) complexes doped into silica nanoparticles (SNs). The noncovalent decoration of SNs by dicationic surfactant with further interfacial binding of dye anions enables to develop colloids programmed to display a substrate induced fluorescent response. The latter results from the quenching of Tb(III) centered luminescence by dye anions through dynamic mechanism and subsequent displacement of quenching anions by the non-quenching substrates from the interface of SNs. Both negative charge and hydrophobicity of substrates are the key factors affecting the selectivity of the substrate induced fluorescent response. The peculiar effects of zwitter-ionic and anionic phospholipids on the fluorescent response have been revealed. The applicability of the fluorescent procedure in the sensing of impurities in commercial phosphatidylcholine is also introduced. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Anthocyanins as a factor in the alimentary restoration of cellular immunity in diet induced obesity in rats

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of anthocyanins on cellular immunity in rats on a model of alimentary obesity. The aim of the study was to study the effect of an anthocyanin- enriched diet on cellular immunity in diet induced obesity in rats. The study was carried out on male Wistar rats with an initial body weight of 108±2 g. The animals were randomized by body weight into 3 groups (8 pcs. in group). For 12 weeks, rats of the 1st (control) group received a complete modified diet of AIN93M; rats of the 2nd group consumed a high-calorie choline-deficient diet (HCChDD), the fat content of which was 45%, fructose – 20% of the energy value of the diet; rats of the 3rd group received HCChDD with the addition of standardized blueberry and blackcurrant extract (30% anthocyanins) at an average daily dose of 11 mg anthocyanins/kg body weight. The expression of differentiation markers of peripheral blood lymphocytes was carried out by flow cytofluorimetry. As a result of the study, it was found that in rats of the 2nd group with alimentary obesity, the relative content in the peripheral blood of T helpers (CD3+CD4+) was increased (p < 0.05) (75.75±1.11% versus 70.07±0 49% – group 1, 72.14±0.91% – group 3) and reduced (p < 0.05) content of T cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD3+CD8+) (22.54±1.14% versus 28.09±0.72% – 1st group, 26.07±0.87% – 3rd group). The CD3/CD4 ratio in rats of the 2nd group exceeded (p < 0.05) this index in rats of the 1st and 3rd groups (3.44±0.25 versus 2.47±0.09 – 1st group, 2.79±0.13 – 3rd group). Enrichment of the HCChDD with the blueberry and blackcurrant extract led to the normalization of these parameters of cellular immunity. The number of B lymphocytes (CD45R+), Т lymphocytes (CD3+) and NK cells (CD161+) in the rat peripheral blood of all experimental groups had no statistically significant differences. The results of the study of cellular immunity in rats with alimentary obesity indicate the presence of metainflammation. The received data indicate the prospect of using biologically active substances

Base mucronutrients and food groups consumption, associations with the risk of fatal cardiovascular disease development in people with type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study

Aim. To study the relation between the consumption of the main macronutrients and food groups with the risk of fatal outcomes from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in people with newly diagnosed diabetes and those who are informed about type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Material and methods. This prospective analysis included 681 people (284 men and 397 women) with T2DM at baseline HAPIEE (Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial factors In Eastern Europe) 2003 (05) – December 31, 2018 and averaged 14.7 ± 0.7 years. There were 207 incident CV mortality during follow-up period (107 men, 100 women). The questionnaire on the presence of T2DM included information on the awareness of individuals about the presence of T2DM (“Did the doctor tell you that you have T2DM?”). The actual nutrition data included information on the consumption of 147 foods. The hazard ratio was estimated using Cox regression. Results and discussion. In men who aware of T2DM, the risk of developing a fatal CV event decreases with an increase in the consumption of “all-season” fruits (HR 0.413; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.234-0.786) and increases with an increase in the consumption of chicken eggs (HR 1.907 95 % CI 1.051-3.437), and alcohol (HR 1.031; 95 % CI 1.001- 1.061). In men who are unaware of T2DM, with an increase in nut consumption, the risk of developing fatal CV events decreases (HR 0.821; 95 % CI 0.679-0.992) and increases with increasing consumption of dairy products (HR 1.105; 95 % CI 1.000-1.221). In women aware of T2DM, consumption of white bread increases the risk (HR 1.489; 95 % CI 1.105-2.004), on the contrary, consumption of black bread reduces the risk of an undesirable outcome (HR 0.575; 95 % CI 0.424-0.818). Conclusions. In men who aware of T2DM, the most significant risk factors were the poor all-season fruits intake and excessive chicken eggs consumption. In women with type 2 diabetes, an increase in white bread consumption is of importance to increasing the risk of an undesirable CV outcome, and an increase in black bread consumption counts for reducing the risk
