AbstractReliably managing homeland security risks requires an understanding of which risks are more concerning than others. This paper applies a validated risk ranking methodology, the Deliberative Method for Ranking Risks, to the homeland security domain. This method provides a structured approach to elicit risk rankings from participants based on deliberative consideration of science-based risk assessments. Steps in this effort include first identifying the set of attributes that must be covered when describing terrorism and disaster hazards in a comprehensive manner, then developing concise summaries of existing knowledge of a broad set of homeland security hazards. Using these materials, the study elicits relative concerns about the hazards that are being considered. The relative concerns about hazards provide a starting point for prioritizing solutions for reducing risks to homeland security. The consistency and agreement of the rankings, as well as the individual satisfaction with the process and results, suggest that the Deliberative Method for Ranking Risks can be appropriately applied in the homeland security domain. The rankings themselves reflected greater concern over natural disasters than terrorist events. This research suggests that deliberative risk ranking methods could provide a valid and reliable description of individuals’ concerns about homeland security risks to inform strategic planning.

To make managerial decisions on labour market regulation on the regional level it is necessary to have an objective statistic estimation of interconnection between informal employment and indicators of social and economic development. The article describes preconditions of forming a complex system of indicators on the basis of documents of strategic planning and analysis of works by Russian and overseas researchers dealing with issues of informal employment. Informal employment is an independent field of research that attracts scientists from different spheres and disciplines: from economics and anthropology to gender research, politology, sociology and city planning. Due to the fact that sizes and composition of informal employment, causes of its arising and consequences, lines of impact and interconnection with other figures are different, the author took analysis of documents of strategic planning and goals of national development of the Russian Federation up to 2024 as a starting point for shaping the structure of the system of indicators. In the research indicators of social and economic development were grouped by blocks corresponding to lines in national projects and supplemented by the block of indicators characterizing the macro-economic situation. This categorization based on priorities of national development fosters conclusion drawing with due regard to human capital, comfortable environment for life and economic growth.

Introduction: Arranging artificial teeth has always been a challenging work since edentulous alveolar ridges are in a constant verge of physiological resorptive changes. Incisive papilla is a reliable biometric guide which can be used as a reference for arrangement of anterior teeth, since it is a stable intraoral anatomical landmark unless surgically modified. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the mean distance between the most prominent labial surface of maxillary central incisors to the posterior limit of incisive papilla in various arch forms. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out among 170 undergraduate students of BPKIHS, after obtaining ethical clearance from Institutional Review Committee, BPKIHS. Maxillary impressions were made with alginate impression materials and casts were poured with dental stone. Distance from the posterior limit of incisive papilla to maximum convexity of central incisor (Papillo-Incisal Distance, PID) was measured with a Digital Vernier caliper with a precision of 0.01mm. The arch forms were analyzed and classified into ovoid, tapering and squarish arch, subjectively based on morphological parameters. The intra-examiner reliability of the measurement was tested in 17 casts calculating Cronbach’s Alpha. Pearson Chi-square test was applied to explore the relation of the arch forms with age and gender. One-way ANOVA was used to check the association between the mean PID between with different arch forms.(p value = 0.05) Results: The mean distance from the labial surface of maxillary central incisors to the posterior limit of incisive papilla was 11.58±1.32 mm. The mean papillo-incisal distance varied with respect to different arch forms which was statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean PID of oval, squarish and tapering arch forms were 11.86 mm, 10.82 mm and 11.93 mm respectively. Conclusion: Incisive papilla is a valuable starting point in the preliminary location of maxillary incisors during fabrication of dentures. The suggested mean PID for arranging central incisors is 11.58 mm.

Among the divergence of marketing concepts there are kinds of similarity among them in many aspects : (1) the basic assumptions in defining marketing and marketing management, almost all scholars agree that terms of consumer becomes starting point in defining marketing concept. The substantive differences among the concepts accured in focusing to customers. For instance, Benneth and Cooper placed the focus on customers with minimal proportions because of their paradigm and experiences. (2) Market oriented and customer oriented have similarity in substantive manner, but in industrial marketing, the proportion of attention toward customers is very limited. Meanwhile, marketing scholars view totally to customers oriented. (3) Industrial marketing concern on institutionalized customer (or market oriented) that is not limited on marketing division, but covers top management responsibility in implementing business strategy and strategic planning. (4) in the context of marketing concept, Huston’s ideas about marketing concept is make sense whenever marketing is the behaviors that creates exchange between buyer and seller. Exchange is not in “one shot” activity.

Crisis phenomena in the construction industry have given a powerful impetus to rethink the causes of problems and find new, free from pre-crisis defects mechanisms for its further development. The three-pronged mission of the state in the new conditions is to regulate the macroeconomic role of the investment and construction complex, the mechanism of economic relations of its participants and ensure the effectiveness of project decisions. State regulation of the development of the investment and construction complex in Ukraine is based on the principles of reactive strategic planning and is aimed at solving urgent social and economic problems. In the process of further development, the state in developing a strategy for the development of construction set goals and objectives that correspond to the priority areas of economic and / or social policy. Strengthening Ukraine's economic development requires a transition from a strategy of adaptation and mobilization to a strategy of modernization and further growth based on an innovative approach, which includes the selection of effective institutions and tools for socio-economic development. Strategic planning is a special type of management activity, which consists in the development of strategic decisions that provide for the establishment of such goals and behavioral strategies of management objects, the implementation of which ensures their effective functioning in the long run, rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions. We believe that the Ukrainian approach to modern strategic spatial planning should be based on existing traditions of long-term spatial planning, modernized using modern technologies based on the principles and methods of strategic management. The Strategy is developed taking into account the main ideas and results of official forecasts and programs. The purpose, tasks and projects of the Strategy become elements of planning for all participants of its development and implementation. Thus, from the point of view of the regulatory framework, the strategy of development of the investment and construction complex is a component of the strategy of social and economic development of the state at the state level and socio - economic development of the region at the regional level. However, it is impossible to state unequivocally about the secondary strategy of the investment and construction complex in relation to the development strategy. After all, when developing a strategy, the scenario conditions are the starting point, including the state of fixed assets, which directly depends on the results of support and development of the investment and construction complex.

Starting Point

The starting point for easier resolution of conflicts between conservation and development should be the application of the concept of protected areas of natural heritage as social-ecological systems. This is also the precondition for attainment of strategic planning coordination for protected mountain areas (PMA). The objective of the paper is to provide the insight into the effectiveness of strategic planning support - spatial and sectoral planning - to sustainable territorial and tourism development of PMA in Serbia. The study area comprises Kopaonik and Djerdap National Parks, and Stara Planina Nature Park. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of strategic planning for PMA by means of analysis and evaluation of spatial plans, Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and sector plans in tourism for the study area. The effectiveness of spatial planning is checked based on the analysis and evaluation of sustainability of zoning and land-use regimes, and of tourism development proposed by spatial plans for the study area. The conclusion is that it is necessary to apply holistic approach to sector planning for nature conservation and tourism development, and to apply SEA for tourism planning as well. Reduction of the spatial coverage of PMA and spatial differentiation of protected zones from the ones planned for intensive development is recommended.
