A set of resource-functional determinants of sustainable management has been determined, substantiated and formed using the scientific-natural and methodological principles of physical economy. They are represented by various forms of organization, development and transformation of the natural environment in the format of a mega- model of purposeful influence and management of four physiocratic resource bases. They recognized: natural resource processes (material, energy and natural resources); production processes (technological resources); societal processes (information base and social communicative alarm connections); economic processes (organizational and economic resources). The applied tools for determining the order of search, accumulation and involvement of four physiocratic resource bases to ensure and targeted localization of efforts of management entities that take care of key sets of tasks in the field of sustainable management at different levels of management of different dynamic systems. The latter are recognized as territorial natural and economic entities, national and regional socio-economic systems, which currently operate in resource constraints with the ever-increasing socio-political, economic and resource threats and risks to sustainable development of the state and its regions. It is recommended to develop applied tools, permanently refining the sequence of procedures when changing external conditions, through the use of scientific and natural provisions of physical economy, systems theory and turbulence in order to: a) initiate signs of laminarity of four basic processes (economic, social, industrial and natural resource); b) prevention of turbulent shifts. Taking into account the principles of identifying the complexity of the trajectories of the channels and their ability to adjust allowed to establish: the sequence of balancing the turbulent features of the channel of the implementation of processes: natural resources, production, societal, economic, priority of adjustment, first of all, of natural resource and production processes among others.

It is rather clear that it is mandatory to understand the potentials of growth for any economy to grow. With globalization taking place, countries in general, have intensified their political, economic and social integration. Kosovo, as the youngest state in Europe, is about to transform from a devastated economy into a developing one. It has not yet been able to tap on its natural resources and neither of its potentials for a faster economic growth. Its backbone economic sectors such as agriculture, textile, mining and metal sectors are still on their initial stages of revitalization, while the privatization of the public companies has not met its expectations.Whereas, Kosovo is doing a better job on, as its international presence and subjectivity of its political status (Independence) is strengthened. More and more countries are recognizing it as a sovereign country, while the recent initiation of the Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union, Kosovo is undergoing through its structural reforms and alliance with the EU standards and regulations.The future of Kosovo, like of any country, will depend on the way that its human, financial and natural resources are utilized. On this regard, this paper is an attempt to explore the potentials of the economic growth on different political contexts that Kosovo has and is expected to undergo.

The purpose of the article is to define an innovative concept of sustainable management based on the analysis of the institutional configuration of business ecosystem entities. The concept of sustainable (SUST) management is outlined as the creation of conditions for multi-entity management of territorial capital on the basis of digital platform technologies and the principles of partnership between government, business and the population. The institutional configuration of territorial business ecosystems is analyzed. It is determined that the business-ecosystem organization of economic activity is a flexible and dynamic system that creates opportunities for the integration of natural resources into economic circulation in territorial communities. It is established that there is a need for a radical restructuring of the institutional configuration of the spatial management system of natural resources in the direction of creating a system of multi-entity management of territorial capital. The main institutions and institutes of the spatial system of natural resources management of the territorial business ecosystem are outlined, in the field of local government, public-private partnership, corporate-platform and structural-project management, etc., within which economic actors of business ecosystems are endowed with appropriate functions and powers.. The structure of the business-ecosystem concept of sustainable management is detailed, including the basic formats of institutionalization of territorial assets management, informational and communicational platform component and management mechanisms of sustainable management, which are focused on creating a system of multi-entity management of sustainable development of territorial communities. Basic formats and forms of institutionalization of territorial assets management in the conditions of decentralization of power are proposed, including communication platforms of collaborative interactions between public authorities, business and population, as well as a set of mechanisms of structural and project management of sustainable development of territorial communities.

This article explores the role scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a US federal science agency, played in researching and testing vaccines against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Drawing upon archival sources and oral history interview data, I challenge narratives that attribute the design of HPV vaccines to profit motive. Instead, I show that the researchers who developed the technology attempted to construct ethical approaches to vaccine development based on the values that emerged from their situated environments of technological, organizational, and institutional constraint. I argue that interpretations of “translational research” native to the NCI influenced these researchers’ efforts to design and test HPV vaccines. The organizational culture of translational research emerging in the NCI positioned intramural research as a countervailing and supplementary force to market-oriented translational research and development. Over time, NCI researchers’ conceptions of the Institute’s role allowed them to develop understandings of ethical HPV vaccine research as oriented toward addressing cervical cancer health disparities, especially in developing nations. NCI scientists’ understanding of their role in serving the public good through continued HPV vaccine innovation reflects the material and political economic environment they faced at different historical junctures that constrained the possibilities for innovation and ethical action.

Over the last 150 years Australia has gained great economic rewards from the use of the natural resources of the Murray-Darling Basin. However, many of the methods used to gain those benefits are now seen as unsustainable. To maintain the region’s productivity in the future, a different approach to managing its natural resources is needed. This paper explains the economic and environmental importance of the Basin, describes the degradation that has occurred, and summarises the efforts being made to achieve sustainable management of the region.
