Business model management is possible on the basis of detailing and clarifying methods for calculating forms of increasing returns. High-tech companies, in contrast to traditional ones, have additional rents associated with the dual use of technologies and digitalization. The article develops a set of methods for assessing the cumulative increasing returns of a hightech business model based on the calculation of classic and ecosystem effects. The neoclassical economic theory, the network (relational) approach, the concepts of business models and ecosystems constitute the methodological basis of the study. The authors differentiate between five forms of returns: economies of scale effects, effects of innovation, diversity, direct and indirect network-based (ecosystem) effects. The research method is pioneered by the authors and based on a sequential assessment of the five forms of returns. For each form, an optimal calculation method is proposed, the results of which are unified by the standardization method. The level of increasing returns is empirically calculated using the case study of the civil production of the Semikhatov Scientific and Production Association (SPA) of Automatics – one of the largest high-tech industrial enterprises. The paper highlights the problems in measuring returns, such as the lack of panel data on the enterprise, a uniform method and relevant examples for calculation, as well as objective data on sectoral markets. The research results prove that the key management objective is to enhance the positive difference between increasing and decreasing returns through transformation of the business model. To achieve this objective, we compile a matrix of effects, the level of which allows making appropriate management decisions. Our calculations show that the enterprise experiences decreasing returns from adoption of innovation. The level of increasing returns from the learning effect and the direct network-based effect is quite low, which indicates that the enterprise’s business model is traditional, rather than technological. The research results can serve as a basis for the development of a detailed management mechanism for transforming a business model. The method for increasing returns assessment is universal and can be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of any business models.

The presented study addresses the problems of managing the transformation of high-tech production systems (PS) to maintain the enterprise’s competitiveness in the long term.Aim. The study identifies efficient approaches to forecasting the timeline, economic and social prospects of PS transformations.Tasks. The authors assess the existing methodological framework for innovation management aimed at changing the scientific and technical potential of the PS and the government’s role in facilitating investment activity.Methods. This study is based on the fundamental principles of systems theory and comprehensive consideration of the issues of managing changes in economic systems through analysis.Results. The proposed assessments and comments can be taken into account when developing a methodology for forming an adequate management response to the predicted change in the external conditions of PS operation. The scientific and technical potential of high-tech enterprises is created, among other things, through long-term research, but the economic prospects of using research results are unpredictable. The experience of building the US national innovation system confirms the important role of the government in managing the commercialization of research results.Conclusions. The development of the Russian economy depends on the timeliness and reasonable sufficiency of the formation of the scientific and technical potential of the PS. The formation of the Russian national innovation system is a prerequisite for creating a favorable institutional environment for innovation, and the authors believe that it will lay the groundwork for the reproduction of capital in real production and hedging of risks associated with these processes.

It is in a common practice to decommission a high tech industrial enterprise after depletion of its technological resource. During the preparation to decommissioning of a state enterprise the number of staff is decreasing. In order to keep the resources of labour potential the management of the industry offers to the employees an employment in other enterprises of the industry. The employees of the enterprise to be decommissioned have to make a choice: whether to continue working in the same industry or to search for their new occupation themselves. The article describes the results of studying motivational potential of a high tech industrial enterprise during the decision-making process of decommissioning due to depletion of the technological resource. The motivational potential is considered as a motivational readiness to continuing or ceasing work at the enterprises of the same industry and nine types of the motivational profile. The motivational readiness is studied by a specially designed questionnaire. The type of the motivational profile is defined by Milman technique (2005). The research results show that 82 % of the employees are ready to continue working at the enterprises of the same industry, 10 % are in the process of decision-making and 8% are going to search for a new employment in other spheres. Further the type of the motivational profile for each employee is defined by Milman technique (2005). For each group, defined by the criterion of motivational readiness to continuing working for the same industry, the rate of motivational types in the group is calculated. The defined patterns are used while forming personnel reserve for the enterprise in power-down mode and during decommissioning stage as well as when rotating staff to other enterprises of the industry.

Due to their unique properties, rare-earth elements (REEs) are used in many areas of advanced high-tech industries. One of the most important sources of REEs is phosphorus-containing ores and concentrates, in particular monazite and apatite concentrates. Although a number of monazite processing methods are commercially used, they have some limitations. That is why the extensive research efforts are underway to develop new methods for recovery of REEs from monazite. This paper presents the research results for nitric-acid pressure decomposition of phosphorus-containing concentrate from the unique man-made deposit and demonstrates that this method is feasible in principle.

Using the example of ‘Machines for Living’ (8 April 1958) from the BBC’s ‘Your Life in Their Hands’ series, I explore doctors’ and patients’ performances on live medical television. The point is to examine how the grammar and technology of live television provided affordances and constraints to the representation of medicine, here the high-tech medicine of dialysis and heart-lung bypass at Leeds General Infirmary. I use several theoretical lenses to focus attention on the participants’ performances, including work by Erving Goffman, Richard Schechner, Espen Ytreberg, Judith Butler, and Paddy Scannell. Although the analysis is tightly focussed on a single programme, it is intended to be generally applicable to the analysis of medical, and indeed non-fiction television of all kinds.

The article analyzes and summarizes data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2019 and on October 1st, 2020, information from the FAO and literature sources on sheep breeding development. The research results show that lamb and goat production increased by 33.3% at agricultural enterprises in 2019. Whole meat production decreased by 2.79% during the study period in farms of all categories. The regions that obtain the most significant wool quantity are Odesa (637 tons), Zakarpattia (159 tons), and Mykolayiv (99 tons). Wool production decreased significantly in Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad (by 50%), Kyiv (by 28.6%), and Kherson (by 25.3%) regions. In January-September 2020, entire wool production decreased by 12.5% in farms of all ownership forms compared to the previous year. In 2019 wool clip per sheep decreased by 3.7% and was in the range of 0.2-3.9 kg (average 2.6 kg). According to this indicator, the first place in Ukraine takes the Kherson region (3.9 kg), the second – Nikolaev (3.7 kg), and the third – Odesa (3.4 kg). In 2018, Ukrainian enterprises produced 18,1 thousand tonnes of sheep's milk (according to FAO data), which exceeds the previous year by 6,63%. The decrease in lamb and wool production is due to a decrease in sheep stock's total number in farms of all ownership forms. In 2019 the number decreased by 5.68%, including – 7.94% in agricultural enterprises and 4.94% – in households (the difference with data on January 1st, 2020. and 2019). Ukraine established separate high-tech modular-type farms in the meat-wool (Lviv region) and meat (Dnipropetrovsk region) areas of productivity, also farms for the production and in-depth processing of sheep's milk into soft and hard delicatessen cheeses and butter (Khmelnitsky, Chernivtsi and Kyiv regions).

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.

Detailed ultrastructural analysis of fungal mitotic systems and cytoplasmic microtubules might be expected to contribute to a number of areas of general interest in addition to the direct application to the organisms of study. These areas include possibly fundamental general mechanisms of mitosis; evolution of mitosis; phylogeny of organisms; mechanisms of organelle motility and positioning; characterization of cellular aspects of microtubule properties and polymerization control features. This communication is intended to outline our current research results relating to selected parts of the above questions.Mitosis in the oomycetes Saprolegnia and Thraustotheca has been described previously. These papers described simple kinetochores and showed that the kineto- chores could probably be used as markers for the poorly defined chromosomes. Kineto- chore counts from serially sectioned prophase mitotic nuclei show that kinetochore replication precedes centriole replication to yield a single hemispherical array containing approximately the 4 n number of kinetochore microtubules diverging from the centriole associated "pocket" region of the nuclear envelope (Fig. 1).
