Digitalization as a Strategic Basis for the ESG Trajectory of Healthcare Development

Goal. The paper considers approaches to solving one of the main tasks of strategizing the socio-economic systems on the national level, associated with the need to clarify the strategic development priorities in the context of the formation of new global development trends. Methods. The role of health care in the formation of the system of sustainable development in Russia is considered from the point of view of its mutual influence with other areas of achieving this trajectory. Results. It is shown that in the system of other sustainable development goals, it is the development of healthcare in Russia that should be a priority. For a comprehensive solution to the problems of sustainable development, it is advisable to actively introduce the principles of ESG into corporate and public administration, enriched by the inclusion of the tasks of improving (promoting improving) the level of health of employees, customers, partners, and society as a whole. Conclusion. The emerging difficulty in coordinating key modern priorities (environmental, economic, social and related to human health) is supposed to be solved through the active creation and implementation of digital platforms for strategic management

Crystal structure and conductivity of bismuth-containing complex oxides

In the paper, a comprehensive systematic study of different classes of bismuth containing oxide compounds was carried out. The relationship between composition, temperature and concentration regions of existence of stable, specific structure and properties of solid solutions on the basis of vanadates, molybdates, niobates and bismuth was found. The general regularities of synthesis of solid solutions with different variants of solid-phase and soluble methods were determined. On this basis, the optimal conditions for obtaining single-phase materials were formulated. For the first time the temperature and concentration boundaries of the regions of homogeneity and areas of stable existence of polymorphic modifications of solid solutions were defined and/or refined. The structural parameters of the synthesized phases were determined. By the method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy the nature and features of impedance spectra, the temperature and concentration dependences of electrical conductivity of ceramic materials based on bismuth containing complex oxides were identified

ПОБУДОВА МОДЕЛІ МІНІМІЗАЦІЇ ФІНАНСОВИХ РИЗИКІВ МАШИНОБУДІВНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

The article is based on a financial condition indicators system, which assesses the financial risk of the enterprise, and their grouping according to the nature of the impact on the enterprise financial position. The following financial risks groups have been identified: the inappropriate capital structure, inefficient financial activity, liquidity decline, ineffective operating activities, the imbalances in cash flows and ineffective investment activities risks. Each group of indicators is selected by the "center of gravity"one representative method to construct a model for assessing the financial risk in the enterprise level. It is determined that representative indicators in identifying the financial risk in an enterprise level are: coefficient of autonomy, coefficient of turnover of capital, absolute liquidity ratio, return on sales, net cash flow ratio, total return on investment.At the next stage of constructing a model for enterprise financial risks minimizing using expert method, representative indicators are measured according to their informativity for assessing financial risk at the enterprise. Taking into account the indicators significance, a machine-building enterprises assessment financial risk model was constructed on the basis of the enterprise financial risk level indicators-representatives additive convolution with their significance weight coefficients correction.The functional dependencies between the indicators are determined given the direct and inverse nature of the link between the indicators that characterize the machine-building enterprises financial risk, using correlation-regression analysis. An optimization model for machine-building enterprises financial risks minimizing was built on the principle of limiting financial risks. Optimizing the model means getting the maximum integral index value of the financial risk neutralization level. To this end, the Kuhn-Tucker theorem is used. As a result of model optimization it was revealed that from the point of view the financial risks at machine-building enterprises level minimizing, the optimum values of financial indicators are: for the coefficient of autonomy — 0.41; for the capital turnover coefficient — 31,0; for the coefficient of absolute liquidity — 0,45; for a profitability ratio of sales — 0,29; for the coefficient of sufficiency of net cash flow — 0,60; for the coefficient of total return on investment — 0,28. The established norms of financial indicators provide financial risk minimization at machine-building enterprises.Построены модель оценки уровня финансовых рисков на машиностроительных предприятиях, а также модель минимизации финансовых рисков машиностроительных предприятий. Определены оптимальные значения финансовых нормативов: коэффициента автономии, оборачиваемости капитала, абсолютной ликвидности, рентабельности продаж, достаточности чистого денежного потока, совокупной рентабельности инвестиций, соблюдение которых снизит уровень финансовых рисков на предприятиях, обеспечит эффективность их деятельности, финансовую устойчивость, ликвидность и платежеспособность.Побудовано систему показників фінансового стану, за якими оцінюється фінансовий ризик підприємства, та здійснено їхнє групування за характером впливу на фінансовий стан підприємства. Виділено такі групи фінансових ризиків: ризик нераціональної структури капіталу, ризик неефективної фінансової діяльності, ризик зниження ліквідності, ризик неефективної операційної діяльності, ризик незбалансованості грошових потоків і ризик неефективної інвестиційної діяльності. Для побудови моделі оцінки рівня фінансового ризику на підприємстві з кожної групи показників обрано по одному репрезентативному методом «центру ваг». Визначено, що репрезентативними показниками при ідентифікації рівня фінансового ризику на підприємстві є: коефіцієнт автономії, коефіцієнт оборотності капіталу, коефіцієнт абсолютної ліквідності, коефіцієнт рентабельності продажів, коефіцієнт достатності чистого грошового потоку, сукупна рентабельність інвестицій.На наступному етапі побудови моделі мінімізації фінансових ризиків підприємства з використанням експертного методу проранговано репрезентативні показники за їхнього інформативністю для оцінки фінансового ризику на підприємстві. З урахуванням значимості показників побудовано модель оцінки фінансових ризиків машинобудівних підприємств на основі адитивної згортки показників-репрезентантів рівня фінансового ризику підприємства з коригуванням на вагові коефіцієнти їхньої значимості.Ураховуючи прямий і обернений характер зв’язку між показниками, що характеризують рівень фінансового ризику машинобудівних підприємств, з використанням кореляційно-регресійного аналізу, визначено функціональні залежності між показниками. Побудовано оптимізаційну модель мінімізації фінансових ризиків машинобудівних підприємств, в основу якої закладено принцип лімітування фінансових ризиків. Оптимізація моделі означає отримання максимального значення інтегрального показника рівня нейтралізації фінансового ризику. Для цього використано теорему Куна — Таккера. У результаті оптимізації моделі виявлено, що з позиції мінімізації рівня фінансових ризиків на машинобудівних підприємствах оптимальними значеннями фінансових показників є: для коефіцієнта автономії — 0,41; для коефіцієнта оборотності капіталу — 31,0; для коефіцієнта абсолютної ліквідності — 0,45; для коефіцієнта рентабельності продажів — 0,29; для коефіцієнта достатності чистого грошового потоку — 0,60; для коефіцієнта сукупної рентабельності інвестицій — 0,28. Установлені нормативи фінансових показників забезпечують мінімізацію фінансового ризику на машинобудівних підприємствах

Ecological and biological features of Triglochin maritima L. in the biotopes of the littoral zone with different degree of flooding on the coast of the White Sea

The study of Triglochin maritima L. was carried out on the Pomor (western) coast of the White Sea, in the Republic of Karelia (64°22'81"N, 35°93'14"E). Morphological analysis of aboveground and underground parts of the clones was performed on virginal plants. Anatomical analysis of leaf sheaths of the current year shoots, rhizomes and adventitious roots was carried out. The viability of pollen was assessed by determining the relative share of normally developed and malformed pollen grains. The content of heavy metals was determined in the soil, sea water and plant samples. The study was carried out on a model transect in the littoral zone on three test plots representing the lower littoral; the middle and the upper littoral zones. Adaptation to wave and storm impact was manifested in a well-developed system of underground organs. In the lower littoral, underground part surpasses the aboveground vegetative organs in terms of the mass and the formation of mechanical tissues. This allows the plants to anchor stronger in the substrate. Pollen analysis confirmed the adaptability of T. maritima plants to the conditions of the lower littoral by a high percentage of normal and, consequently, fertile pollen, which ensures sexual reproduction of the species. T. maritima can be considered as a Fe hyperaccumulator as the plant accumulates very high levels of Fe (22–34 g kg-1), especially in the lower and middle littoral zones, both in underground and aboveground organs. The ability of T. maritima plants to actively deposit metals was revealed on the basis of the coefficient of biological absorption of metals and makes it possible to suggest potential possibility of using the species in phytoremediation technologies on coastal territories

MOLECULAR GENETIC ANALYSIS AND SPECTRUM OF MUTATIONS IN KATG, INHA, RPOB GENES CODING DRUG RESISTANCE TO ISONIAZID AND RIFAMPICIN IN THOSE SUFFERING FROM TB/HIV CO-INFECTION

51 patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis with concurrent HIV infection (Group 1) had PCR testing in real time (ZAO Sintol, Moscow) of sputum samples in order to study the spectrum and prevalence of mutations in katG, inhA, rpoB genes coding drug resistance (DR) to isoniazid (H) and rifampicin (R). The control group included 70 HIV negative tuberculosis patients (Group 2). No significant differences in the number and spectrum of mutations in genes coding DR to H and R were found between two groups. However in Group 1 among clinical isolates with multiple drug resistance the confident prevalence of combination of mutations (rpoB Ser531- > Leu + katG Ser315- > Thr1) was found compared to Group 2 where the combined mutations of rpoB Ser531 > Leu + katG Ser315- > Thr1 + inhA 15 were registered more often where mutations in rpoB gene were combined with mutations simultaneously in two genes coding DR to H (katG + inhA)
