Photonics of halogenated zinc(II) and cadmium(II) dipyrromethene complexes

This article compares spectroscopic properties of the series of dipyrromethene dyes, namely their complexes of boron (III), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) with the halogenated ligands of the same structure. Absorption and emission spectra, lifetimes of long-lived emission and quantum yields of luminescence were studied as the functions of molecular structure of dipyrromethene complexes. The role of the position and nature of a substituent in a ligand, polarity of a solvent and temperature of media were also investigated. The studies demonstrate that replacing the central atom boron(III) by zinc(II) decreases the fluorescence quantum yield, indicating the increased role of non-radiative processes in excitation energy deactivations such as intersystem crossings. In addition, according to the heavy atom effect, the efficiency of intersystem crossings in halogen-substituted zinc(II) and cadmium(II) dipyrromethene complexes is higher than in the corresponding boron fluoride dipyrromethenes (BODIPY), which leads to increase in phosphorescence at low temperatures (frozen solutions). The obtained results make it possible to carry out further investigations of potential sensory properties that are required for systematic use of halogenated dipyrromethene complexes for the creation of modern optical oxygen sensors and singlet oxygen photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy or photocatalytic oxidative reactions

Assessment of global trends impact on development of higher education system

The article deals with research of global regularities in the global system of higher education. The interrelation of information, Internet and educational environments, branding and marketing are investigated as a qualitative basis for sustainable development of universities. The government strategies stimulating development of international experience for students are explored and analyzed. This experience resulted in mass opening of international branch campuses and popularity of educational centers (“education hubs”). World tendencies in the field of human capital development in the sphere of higher education are revealed. Special attention is given to development of international institutional and industrial partnership. At present, the challenges facing the modern system of higher education in Russia are related to the need to ensure its competitiveness in the international arena and create centers for the innovative development within the Russian Federation. In the sphere of higher education of Russia, a number of priority projects of the higher education system can be identified, which were approved at the end of 2016: “Universities as Centers of Innovation Development”; the project of “Modern Digital Educational Environment” and the model of the export potential development of the “Russian education system”, which increases the attractiveness and competitiveness of the international educational services market in order to increase the volume of revenues from the export of educational services

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ИНФОРМАЦИОННОГО РАЗВИТИЯ МАРКЕТИНГОВОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ НА ОТРАСЛЕВОМ УРОВНЕ

The basic tendencies of information and marketing development of the heavy engineering industry are analyzed and the peculiarities of their growth are revealed. The basic principles of the creation of a unified information management system in the field of marketing which is based on the conceptual provisions of the strategy for the development of the heavy engineering industry have been formulated. The creation of a center for management of branch marketing information flows based on vertical and horizontal interaction between the industry levels and contributing to the increase in the effectiveness of information support for the enterprises of the machine-building complex at the industry level has been proposed

Interest Alignment Model in the Higher Education System

In the modern economy, the effective development of the higher education system becomes impossible without interest alignment of universities and their stakeholders. The purpose of the study is to determine the groups of stakeholders of the higher education system according to the degree of interdependence and develop an interest alignment model, reflecting the ways of interest alignment among the selected groups of stakeholders, taking into account the impact of market and administrative mechanisms. To achieve the purpose of the study, the authors use analysis methods (when determining the set of stakeholders of the higher education system and determining the mutual interests of universities and their stakeholders), grouping (when identifying stakeholder groups according to the degree of interdependence), and developing managerial models (when developing a model for interest alignment in the higher education system). The proposed interest alignment model in the higher education system can be an effective managerial tool in shaping interrelationships of universities with stakeholders

Organizational and economic directions of competitive recovery of Russian pharmaceutical enterprises

The urgency of the analyzed issue is due to the fact that the sustainable development of the economy of any country is the most important level of public health, which in turn, is conditioned by providing high quality pharmaceutical products. This is determined by the effective activity of the pharmaceutical industry, its competitiveness. Thus, the study of the competitiveness of Russian pharmaceutical enterprises, the development directions of its improvement should contribute to the sustainable development of the Russian economy. The article is focused on the development of organizational and economic ways of competitive recovery of the pharmaceutical industry. The leading approach to the study of this issue is an analytical approach that allows identifying the main directions of competitive recovery of the pharmaceutical industry. The results of the article: the study of possible organizational and economic ways of competitive recovery of Russian companies in the pharmaceutical industry, the algorithm of directions of its increase. The made recommendations have been tested in a number of Russian companies in the pharmaceutical industry. The article date may be useful in the management of the pharmaceutical industry now, as well as for understanding the specifics of the domestic pharmaceutical industry. © 2016 Ashmarina et al
