This research is devoted to the issues of improving the management of investment processes of commercial organizations, which is relevant in the context of digitalization, since the right choice and implementation of the investment strategy allow the enterprise to strengthen its competitive position in the market and, at the same time, maintain a course for sustainable development. The paper uses a dialectical method of cognition and a systematic approach to the study of the problem area. Recent studies have shown that digital technologies create a huge potential for innovation in products and services, which is often difficult to control and predict. In this regard, the author formulated the areas that should be changed due to the need to manage the implementation of innovative digital products in commercial organizations. In conclusion, an algorithm for improving the management of investment activities of commercial organizations was proposed, which will allow overcoming the risky elements of market relations, ensuring the balanced progressive development of the organization.

Interest and profitability of saving for retirement in the Third PillarThe problem presented in the research paper is the issue of retirement savings efficiency in the Third Pillar of social insurance in Poland. The object of accomplished analysis, which constitutes grounds for inference was “the number of accounts in the Third Pillar and the value of accumulated funds”, which allowed defining “interest and attractiveness of the use of financial products offered by the Third Pillar” and “profitability of saving in the Third Pillar”. The results of the research, which determine present interest in saving in the Third Pillar confirm that additional forms of pension security have not reached the desired by the government level of development. Market growth will not occur unless there are financial incentives. Common concerns rouse the role of the state in the Third Pillar, and especially the possibility of taking over accumulated savings by government, as was done with savings accumulated in the Second Pillar OFE. In this situation, choosing a product of the Third Pillar is aless meaningful issue. It is more important to regularly save money in order to be able to gain from the so called ‘compound interest’, also choosing the right investment strategy and attitude towards risk.

If compared to a conventional combined cycle, the optimal design of an Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) requires the consideration of additional design parameters, such as the optimal integration point of the solar steam import in the combined cycle, the solar steam generator rating or the size of the solar field. Moreover, to identify the optimal design over the entire operating profile, the trade-off between amount of solar steam generation capacity and the (over)sizing of key components like HRSG, steam turbine, and condenser needs to be considered. Alstom is prepared to integrate its proprietary technologies in an ISCC. Taking on the above challenge while providing the best possible value to customers calls for advanced methodologies for the selection of the design parameters. This paper presents a methodology for the initial design of an ISCC, which through determination of the plant thermo-economic performance for a given set of technical and economical boundary conditions, as well as under consideration of the plant’s operating profile, allows identifying the ISCC design with the highest return on investment. The additional capabilities implemented in the latest development of Alstom’s in-house plant optimization toolbox show that choice of the operating regimes has a strong effect on customer investment strategy. This confirms that availability of an optimization tool allowing a systematic identification of the right ISCC configuration for the given project specific constraints, is vital. This tool development handles the critical design parameters with the required accuracy, thus enabling to match the ISCC design with the operational, economical, and physical boundaries of an ISCC project. Furthermore, the tool allows to carry out sensitivity studies and to prioritize development efforts.

Socially responsible investing (SRI) is a decision making process concerning the allocation of free financial resources, where the investor aims at maximization of profit and minimization of risk on one part, and includes the socio-ethical and environmental-ecological considerations on the other. We can find four types of motives, describing them as mobilizing forces to undertake SRI. These are psychological and social, legal, economic and strategic, financial. Investors invest their funds in such investments by choosing the right investment strategy for them. We can find many different classifications relating to strategies and actions within the framework of SRI. The most important classifications of the SRI strategy were prepared by Global Sustainable Investment Review and Eurosif. These two organizations prepare also reports on SRI in the world and in Europe. The European market has the largest share in the global SRI market but the most dynamically developing market is Japan.

Abstract Research background: Market participants have been trying to forecast future price movements and create tools to facilitate making the right investment decisions since the beginning of the operation of stock exchanges. As a result, there are an increasing number of methods, tools, strategies and models to make the decision process which is becoming extremely complicated. Purpose: to maximize the simplification of trade rules and to check whether it is possible to parameterize transactions based on the length of price movements in order that the system built in this way would generate profits. Research methodology: empirical research was conducted on data from the period between 20/01/1998 and 29/06/2018 covering listing futures contracts for the WIG20. First, the length of the price movements was determined according to the closing rate, then the frequency of individual lengths of the price movements was determined so transaction parameters were fixed. Next, the parameters were optimized and the rates of return from the tested options were examined. Result: It is possible to parameterize transactions based on the length of price movements and to create a simple investment strategy which generates profits. In the audited period, the optimal length of traffic was 25 points with a simultaneous use of a profit/loss ratio of 1 : 1, 1 : 2 or 1 : 3. Novelty: an original investment strategy based on the parameterization of transactions that is based on length of price movement and profit/loss ratio.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.

Abstract The target article carefully describes the memory system, centered on the temporal lobe that builds specific memory traces. It does not, however, mention the laterality effects that exist within this system. This commentary briefly surveys evidence showing that clear asymmetries exist within the temporal lobe structures subserving the core system and that the right temporal structures mainly underpin face familiarity feelings.

It is well known that for reflections corresponding to large interplanar spacings (i.e., sin θ/λ small), the electron scattering amplitude, f, is sensitive to the ionicity and to the charge distribution around the atoms. We have used this in order to obtain information about the charge distribution in FeTi, which is a candidate for storage of hydrogen. Our goal is to study the changes in electron distribution in the presence of hydrogen, and also the ionicity of hydrogen in metals, but so far our study has been limited to pure FeTi. FeTi has the CsCl structure and thus Fe and Ti scatter with a phase difference of π into the 100-ref lections. Because Fe (Z = 26) is higher in the periodic system than Ti (Z = 22), an immediate “guess” would be that Fe has a larger scattering amplitude than Ti. However, relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations show that the opposite is the case for the 100-reflection. An explanation for this may be sought in the stronger localization of the d-electrons of the first row transition elements when moving to the right in the periodic table. The tabulated difference between fTi (100) and ffe (100) is small, however, and based on the values of the scattering amplitude for isolated atoms, the kinematical intensity of the 100-reflection is only 5.10-4 of the intensity of the 200-reflection.

A redesigned specimen holder and cap have made possible the freeze-etching of both fracture surfaces of a frozen fractured specimen. In principal, the procedure involves freezing a specimen between two specimen holders (as shown in A, Fig. 1, and the left side of Fig. 2). The aluminum specimen holders and brass cap are constructed so that the upper specimen holder can be forced loose, turned over, and pressed down firmly against the specimen stage to a position represented by B, Fig. 1, and the right side of Fig. 2.
