Subject. The article discusses the methodological apparatus for assessing how many financial resources are needed, and optimize their gradual consumption in high-tech production projects. Results of the projects can be forecasted only as a probable estimate, since there is great uncertainty due to a multitude of random factors. Objectives. The study aims to form the methodological apparatus to assess the amount of financial resources needed under risk and substantiate the reasonable strategy for consuming them in high-tech production projects within a given period of time. The apparatus is to allow for quick adjustments of the financing plan and estimation of project expenditures. Methods. We applied the comprehensive approach to planning and regulating trends in high-tech production costs, methods of economic and mathematical modeling and the probability theory. Results. We reviewed methods used to assess how many financial resources are needed through demand probability distribution laws. Based on them, we devised the interval technique for regulating cost trends so as to substantiate the reasonable strategy for the performance of projects with the desired probability within the given period of time. What distinguishes the interval technique is that it provides the overall vision of the period, during which the project will be performed, and the probability of the advanced prediction of a shortage or excess of financial resources. Conclusions and Relevance. The methodological apparatus proposed herein will facilitate the technological and economic evaluation of various options of high-tech production and choose those ones which ensure the best use of financial resources, quickly regulate the economic dynamism throughout the high-tech production phases in line with a variety of factors, which randomly emerge at certain phases.

Suiker Unie focuses on a strong market position in Northwest Europe at the lowest possible production costs for sugar. The company tries to achieve this by giving attention to the entire production chain. An important pillar of this mission is sustainability. During the recent years Suiker Unie developed a Masterplan to prepare its factories for the new market situation after 2017. In line with Cosun’s strategy of profitable growth, scaling up production capacity of beet factories was defined as goal of this Masterplan. The ambition of reduction of production costs and sustainability (e.g. carbon-footprint) was translated into the challenging constraint to increase the capacity growth within the given steam supply and the actual odour and noise emissions. Based on a thorough bottleneck study a portfolio of measures for each factory is defined, grouped into debottlenecking, energy saving, optimization and environmental projects.

In conditions of limited financial resources of the state, the task of assessing the appropriateness and choosing rational options for the joint use of traditional and new types of high-tech products is topical. The paper proposes a method for substantiating rational options for the joint use of traditional and new products of high-tech products, based on the criteria of their comparative technical and economic assessment, namely, comparing the achieved efficiency and the required cost of performing a fixed set of tasks. The dialectical foundations of the method are presented, in particular, it is established that the law of development of high-tech products fully corresponds to the well-known classical law of «denial of denial». The structure of the method, the order of formation of the set of Pareto-optimal options for the joint use of traditional and new products, as well as the algorithm for choosing a rational option are considered.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to formulate two multi-product single-machine economic production quantity (EPQ) models by considering imperfect products. Two policies are assumed to deal with imperfect products: selling them at discount and applying a reworking process. Design/methodology/approach A screening process is used to identify imperfect items during and after production. Selling the imperfect items at a discount is examined in the first model and the reworking policy in the second model. In both models, demand during the production process is satisfied only by perfect items. Data collected from a case company are used to illustrate the performance of the two models. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is carried out by varying the most important parameters of the models. Findings The case study in this research is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed models, i.e. the EPQ model with salvaging and reworking imperfect items. The models are applied to a high-tech un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) doors and windows manufacturer that produces different types of doors and windows. ROGAWIN Co. is a privately owned company that started in 2001 with fully automatic production lines. Finally, the results of applying the different ways of handling the imperfect items are discussed, along with managerial insights. Originality/value In real-world production systems, manufacturing imperfect products is unavoidable. That is why, it is important to make a proper decision about imperfect products to reduce overall production costs. Recently, applying a reworking strategy has gained the most interest when it comes to handling this problem. The principal idea of this research is to maximize the total profit of manufacturing systems by optimizing the period length under some capacity constraints. The proposed models were applied to a company of manufacturing UPVC doors and windows.

Currently, when the Ukrainian economy is developing in an unstable, uncertain, aggressive, dynamic external environment, there is an urgent need to increase the level of investment attractiveness of each region of the country and, as a consequence, the need to increase attention to scientific and methodological support for assessing the integral indicator of investment attractiveness region. In connection with the decentralization of public administration in Ukraine, the role of local authorities in improving the socio-economic situation of its regions is increasing. In the context of real limited financial resources in the country, the problem of increasing the level of investment attractiveness of each region is becoming urgent as a characteristic that allows active investors to form an idea of the state of potential investment objects, as well as ensuring the reliability of obtaining the expected results. It should be noted that the choice of assessment indicators is subjective and depends on the goal of the investor. Such a format for solving this problem requires an assessment of the investment attractiveness of regions based on economic and mathematical modeling. Although there are many developments in this area, today there is no single effective method for assessing the investment attractiveness of the region. The work reveals the essence of the concept of investment attractiveness of a region, defines the methodological provisions of its assessment, the implementation of which requires the use of certain data from official regional statistics. Based on the basic local statistical indicators of the Kharkov, Kiev and Odessa regions of the country, a comparative assessment of their investment attractiveness was carried out. The methodological approaches and parameters determining the investment attractiveness of the regions of Ukraine have been analyzed. The information on the level of investment attractiveness of Kharkiv, Kiev and Odessa regions in 2019 has been systematised, the integral indicator of its evaluation has been defined. In the future, it is recommended to calculate the integral indicator of investment attractiveness for all regions of the country in dynamics.

The article contains the results of the analysis of metaphors architectonics in fiction on the example of the story “Systema sobak” (‘Dogs System’) by V. Tokareva. The article begins with a brief presentation of the modern scientific paradigm which is defined as the post-non-classical one (according to V. S. Styopin) and as the stage of neopospositivism. The latter is characterized by holistic and integrative character. The article also mentions different approaches to the study of metaphor (tropic, interactive and cognitive) and specifically specifies the study of metaphor in connection with the artistic text. The aim of the analysis of Tokareva’s text was to identify “hidden” metaphors. The following research methods were used: textological, contextual, conceptual and combinatorial. The article on the specific material proves the need for a comprehensive approach of integrative nature and demonstrates the possibility of its application. The analysis made it possible to consider the surface metaphor reflected in the story title (LOVE is the “host – dog” relationship) and analyze its deployment in the text. It also allowed to reveal “hidden” metaphors: LOVE is height, LOVE is chemistry, LOVE is water, LOVE is light, LOVE is multicolor, brightness, beauty. The given metaphors implicitly presented in the text form the “general” metaphor of a “higher” level: LOVE is ELEMENT OF NATURE, NOT SUBJECT TO MAN. In the end, it is concluded that in the sphere of fiction metaphor is not only a “condensed plot”. It is also something that is not verbalized in the text but is there beyond the text being “dissolved” in the narration. It means that metaphor can also be considered as a “unfolded plot”, which is not always and not necessarily having a specific verbal embodiment in a certain text in the form of a (fixed) expression.

In the conditions of the Ukraine`s Lisosteppe the efficiency of the researched biological protection means Trichodermin, Planryz, Pentafag and Gaupsin in dejecting the development of and septoria spot in the gooseberry orchards appeared to depend both on the experimental preparations and cultivar peculiarities. The cv Svarog biological resistance to powdery mildew proved higher as compared to “Tiasmyn” on the background of the protective treatments with biological preparations.The development of on the variety “Tiasmyn” varied from 24.4 to 31.1 % and on “Svarog” from 12.7 to 17.6 %. The preparation Gaupsin turned on more efficient against diseases in comparison with the other biological preparations during all the research years. The economic evaluation showed that in the “Tiasmyn” orchards in the variants with using the biopreparations the production costs per ha rose by 9.6 - 13.0 %, including the plants protection by 1.9-1.7 % as compared to the control but thanks to the yield increase by13.8-20.0 % the profit was higher by 17.6-26.3 %. The most effective variant in this cultivar protection system was the preparation Gaupsin utilization – the rate of return cost recovery was 225 %. The profit per hectare in the above mentioned treatment rose to 129.6 thousand grn under a profitableness level of 124.1 %. The cultivar “Svarog” was characterized with the lower yield than “Tiasmyn” in all the variants. As a result the profit and profitableness rise of the economic efficiency indices in the treatments with the biopreparations usage in comparison with the control (as a result of the yield increase by 19.6-25.4 % the profit rose by 22.7-35.1 %). When applying Gaupsin the highest rate of return cost recovery of the additional costs, profit per hectare and profitableness level were achieved – 230.9 %, 120.8 thousand grn and 119.4 % respectively. The obtained results enable to recommend Gaupsin as an element of the gooseberry orchards protection from the main diseases in the Ukraine`s Lisosteppe.
