The theoretical and methodological principles of promising managerial decisions concerning the efficiency of attracting financial resources, as well as creation of fundamentally new sources of funding for the development of energy-oriented start-ups are considered. The role and place of the sectors of innovative energy saving and alternative sources of power supply in a complex system of energy independence of the country are determined. The way and the main directions of research and development of the ways to solve the aforementioned problem are outlined. As part of the search for optimization solutions, it is suggested to use the principles of the existing statistical and mathematical apparatus, marketing achievements and achievements in network development that take place in gaming business. An analogue comparison of the principal models was carried out, during which the existing types of energy-oriented start-ups were determined and presented. A separate direction in the economic search is proposed, and its profile characteristics are outlined. The type of model is typical for Ukrainian conditions. The author proposed a method of comparing strategies for attracting financial resources into a gaming business in the core of the research. To solve the investigated problem, it is proposed to apply the property of the law of the emergence. The analysis is based on a concrete example of the functioning of the tender procedure, namely the organization of public procurement. The purpose of the article is to consider and analyze the author's proposal to focus on such an important phenomenon as the constant creation of the difference between the expected price and the final contractual price. The model of the solution is based on the systematic combination of this phenomenon and the administrative stimulation of implementation of exclusively energy-innovation projects. The combination of these two points is the basis of an optimization policy for the potential formation and maintenance of a state program to search and stimulate the sources of funding for power plants.

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine how hearing aid candidates perceive user-driven and app-controlled hearing aids and the effect these concepts have on traditional hearing health care delivery. Method Eleven adults (3 women, 8 men), recruited among 60 participants who had completed a research study evaluating an app-controlled, self-fitting hearing aid for 12 weeks, participated in a semistructured interview. Participants were over 55 years of age and had varied experience with hearing aids and smartphones. A template analysis was applied to data. Results Five themes emerged from the interviews: (a) prerequisites to the successful implementation of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (b) benefits and advantages of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (c) barriers to the acceptance and use of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (d) beliefs that age is a significant factor in how well people will adopt new technology, and (e) consequences that flow from the adoption of user-driven and app-controlled technologies. Specifically, suggested benefits of the technology included fostering empowerment and providing cheaper and more discrete options, while challenges included lack of technological self-efficacy among older adults. Training and support were emphasized as necessary for successful adaptation and were suggested to be a focus of audiologic services in the future. Conclusion User perceptions of user-driven and app-controlled hearing technologies challenge the audiologic profession to provide adequate support and training for use of the technology and manufacturers to make the technology more accessible to older people.

O aumento do acesso às tecnologias de informação e comunicação, o desenvolvimento da inteligência artificial, do aprendizado de máquina, da robótica, da biotecnologia, da internet das coisas, da internet dos serviços e uma variedade de inovações advindas do emergente ecossistema de start ups oportuniza a ampliação da oferta de serviços de telemedicina e telessaúde, em diferentes formas e especialidades. Neste cenário, há que se utilizar, da melhor forma possível, essa variedade de tecnologia para promover as melhores práticas, as mais seguras e as de melhor alcance à população alvo, por meio de serviços estruturados de teleassistência, telediagnóstico e teleducação, evitando-se encaminhamentos desnecessários, aumentando agilidade na entrega de resultados de exames, no agendamento e nas consultas com especialistas, diluindo-se a taxa de hospitalização, dentre outras. Toda essa tecnologia pode assumir valores expressivos do ponto de vista financeiro, o que pode impactar tanto positiva quanto negativamente. A expectativa de quem investe é também gerar economia de recursos com a utilização de tais ferramentas, a fim de alcançar sustentabilidade do serviço. Este artigo tem o objetivo de levantar e analisar a literatura produzida nos últimos cinco anos, sobre a sustentabilidade de serviços de telemedicina e telessaúde no contexto da assistência, assumindo a perspectiva do provedor de serviços.
