Досліджено підходи до оцінки ефективності співпраці у межах стратегічних альянсів. Розглянуто сутність поняття стратегічний альянс, окреслено основні риси стратегічних альянсів та мотиви, за якими підприємства їх утворюють. Визначено основні принципи успішної співпраці підприємств у межах стратегічних альянсів. Підкреслено аспекти, на які варто зменшити акцент, та аспекти, на яких доцільно акцентувати при розробленні основ спільної роботи. Наведено передумови проведення оцінки ефективності співпраці компаній у стратегічному альянсі. Розглянуто різні підходи до оцінки ефективності співпраці у межах стратегічних альянсів. Виділено дві основні групи підходів до оцінки ефективності стратегічного альянсу: на основі «прямого» зіставлення результатів співпраці та ресурсів, залучених для їх досягнення, що передбачає фінансову оцінку вигід і витрат партнерської взаємодії; на основі «непрямої» оцінки досягнутих ефектів партнерських відносин його учасниками, у т. ч. у соціально-психологічному аспекті трактування ними набутих результатів спільної взаємодії. Наведено порівняльну характеристику вартісних підходів до оцінки синергетичного ефекту стратегічного партнерства. Окреслено переваги та недоліки кожного з наведених підходів. Проаналізовано доходний підхід до оцінки ефекту синергії, який, дозволяє найбільш точно та комплексно оцінити ефективність співпраці у межах стратегічного альянсу. Визначено, що найбільш об’єктивним є комплексний метод оцінки синергетичного ефекту партнерської взаємодії, що включає як кількісні, так і якісні оцінки та основні складові оцінки ефекту співпраці: операційну, інвестиційну, ринкову, фінансову та управлінську. Підкреслено, що найбільш актуальний метод для конкретного підприємства – індивідуальний на основі самостійно встановлених критеріїв успішного досягнення цілей. Як наукову новизну праці визначено удосконалення науково-методичних аспектів оцінювання участі в альянсі, що дає можливість підприємству сформувати власне бачення та систему оцінювання співпраці у межах стратегічного альянсу.The approaches to assessing the effectiveness of cooperation in the strategic alliances are explored. The essence of the concept of a strategic alliance is considered, the main features of strategic alliances and motives are outlined, according to which the enterprises form them. The main principles of successful cooperation of enterprises within the framework of strategic alliances are defined. The emphasis is on aspects that should be underlined and aspects that should not be underlined when developing the basics of working together. The prerequisites for assessing the effectiveness of companies' cooperation in a strategic alliance are given. Different approaches to assessing the effectiveness of cooperation within the framework of strategic alliances are considered. Two main groups of approaches to the strategic alliance effectiveness are identified: based on a "direct" comparison of the cooperation results and resources involved in their achievement, that involves a financial evaluation of the benefits and costs of collaboration; based on "indirect" assessment of the achieved effects of partnerships, including in the sociopsychological aspect of the results interpretation. The comparative characteristic of cost approaches to an estimation of a synergetic effect is resulted. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are determined. The income approach to the evaluation of the synergy effect is analysed, which allows the most accurate and comprehensive assessment of the cooperation effectiveness within the strategic alliance. It is determined that the most objective method is to assess the synergetic effect, which includes both quantitative and qualitative assessments and the main components of cooperation: operational, investment, market, financial and managerial. It is emphasized that the most actual method for a particular enterprise is individual and based on independently established criteria. As a scientific novelty of work, the improvement of methodical aspects of the evaluation of participation in the alliance was determined, which enables the company to form its own vision and a system for evaluating cooperation

Comparing Pulsed Doppler LIDAR with SODAR and Direct Measurements for Wind Assessment

There is a pressing need for good wind-speed measurements at greater and greater heights to assess the availability of the resource in terms of power production and to identify any frequently occurring atmospheric structural characteristics that may create turbulence that impacts the operational reliability and lifetime of wind turbines and their components. In this paper, we summarize the results of a short study that compares the relative accuracies of wind speeds derived from a high-resolution pulsed Doppler LIDAR operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and a midrange Doppler SODAR with wind speeds measured by four levels of tower-based sonic anemometry up to a height of 116 m

Internet of Things for Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change

Our world is vulnerable to climate change risks such as glacier retreat, rising temperatures, more variable and intense weather events (e.g., floods, droughts, and frosts), deteriorating mountain ecosystems, soil degradation, and increasing water scarcity. However, there are big gaps in our understanding of changes in regional climate and how these changes will impact human and natural systems, making it difficult to anticipate, plan, and adapt to the coming changes. The IoT paradigm in this area can enhance our understanding of regional climate by using technology solutions, while providing the dynamic climate elements based on integrated environmental sensing and communications that is necessary to support climate change impacts assessments in each of the related areas (e.g., environmental quality and monitoring, sustainable energy, agricultural systems, cultural preservation, and sustainable mining). In the IoT in Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change chapter, a framework for informed creation, interpretation and use of climate change projections and for continued innovations in climate and environmental science driven by key societal and economic stakeholders is presented. In addition, the IoT cyberinfrastructure to support the development of continued innovations in climate and environmental science is discussed

The role of controlled dosage physical exercise in the treatment of owerweight children with asthma

The study includes 115 children aged 6 to 11 years with exogenous asthma of varying severity, with different levels of control. Children with asthma were divided into two groups according to the level of physical development: I group (60 children) with harmonic physical development and II group (55 children) overweight. It was found that overweight children who have overweight greater than (4,2 ± 0,3) there are patients with severe bronchial asthma and higher than (2,5 ± 0,2) there are children with the uncontrolled progress of the disease in comparison with a group of patients with a harmonious physical development. There were recommendations on physical exercise for overweight children of 6-11 years with moderate asthma depending on the degree of control of asthma during the major periods of rehabilitation. It is shown that the efficacy of integrated application of dosed physical exercise and lipid-lowering diet with exception of carbohydrate is 1.7 times better in comparison with using only a standard diet in addition to the basic treatment of asthma

data

Specifics of intellectual development was identified with the human drawing test, allowing to correlate the degree of cognitive functions development with the 100-point system of the IQ test, since for some patients included in the study it was impossible to determine the level of intelligence by a standard method due to autistic characteristics or severe behavioural disturbances.THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

ECG diagnostics of left ventricular hypertrophy in case of left bundle-branch block

For diagnostics of LVH two basic methods are used: electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography. The problem of ECG diagnostics of LVH becomes almost insoluble at presence of left bundle-branch block. Echocardiography can't be used for screening of LVH. It is set that size of ΔQRS in case of left bundle-branch block determines mass of myocardium of left ventricle: ΔQRS less then zero shows absence of left ventricular hypertrophy, more then zero - presence of increasing mass of myocardium of left ventricle

Lidar Uncertainty Measurement Experiment (LUMEX) – Understanding Sampling Errors

Coherent Doppler LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has been widely used to provide measurements of several boundary layer parameters such as profiles of wind speed, wind direction, vertical velocity statistics, mixing layer heights and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). An important aspect of providing this wide range of meteorological data is to properly characterize the uncertainty associated with these measurements. With the above intent in mind, the Lidar Uncertainty Measurement Experiment (LUMEX) was conducted at Erie, Colorado during the period June 23rd to July 13th, 2014. The major goals of this experiment were the following: Characterize sampling error for vertical velocity statistic
