High-tech sector is recognized as an important long-term priority for the development of any economy; therefore, purposeful support and encouraging the development of this sector requires highlighting the specificities of high-tech and knowledge-intensive companies. This study provides an empirical test of the existence of differences in some parameters between the companies in high-tech and traditional sectors of the economy with BEEPS microeconomic data base by the following characteristics: level of research and development intensity; level of personnel qualification; technological and financial capabilities; business orientation to the global market. The test is based on the Student’s t-test, i.e. statistical comparison of the average values of the parameters for the companies in the specified sectors. For verification, the data from direct surveys of domestic manufacturing and production service companies, the data from the surveys of companies from the EAEU countries and some Eastern European countries were used. It has been revealed that in Eastern European countries, high-tech companies of any sectors more heavily invest in R & D. In Russia, this is true only for the production sector. At the same time, the level of innovative activity for domestic production companies is generally consistent with the level of the companies in other countries under study. Like in many European companies, a significantly large proportion of domestic high-tech companies pays attention to the introduction of new methods f production, management, and product promotion. The need to acquire or rent equipment is equally important for high-tech and low-tech companies, and there are no significant differences in access to financial resources. It has been also revealed that the Russian high-tech production companies are more focused on the national market, whereas the low-tech companies are orientated to the local one. At the same time, the high-tech business is still characterized by a higher share of products shipped for export as compared to the average level of industrial exports.

The article analyzes the effectiveness of the activities of international financial organizations in the context of their cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe. The article clarifies that financing by international financial organizations of the private sector of Eastern Europe creates preconditions for raising their economic and social efficiency and for creating not only collective but also social goods. The main goals of the Eastern European countries, financed by international financial organizations, are considered in detail. It is proved that the financing of the private sector of the Eastern European countries of the EBRD creates the preconditions for raising their economic and social efficiency and for creating not only collective but also public goods. However, the implementation of these prerequisites depends on a sound economic policy of the country, the timely formation of a new institutional structure for the functioning of the public sector, etc. It is noted that for the effective provision of this area of cooperation with the EBRD to the countries of Eastern Europe it is necessary: • facilitate the transition from the capital and labor-intensive export of industrial products to high-tech and innovative; • to provide state aid for the formation of foreign capital by creating special zones of export production with a favorable tax regime; • implement a planned approach to regulating the development of the national economy on the basis of optimization of the state procurement process, the formation of subsidies and other forms of state regulation of investment activity, etc. It is noted that in general, the experience of cooperation of the countries of Eastern Europe with international financial organizations and for Ukraine is important. After all, in Ukraine there are a number of political factors that hinder the development of foreign investments due to the non-adaptation of domestic enterprises to the world market conditions of cooperation. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to reorganize the structure of state management of industrial objects and to establish mechanisms for legislative regulation of this process.

Introduction: Better knowledge and skills of basic life support can save millions of lives each year in Europe. Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the knowledge about basic life support in European students. Method: From 13 European countries 1527 volunteer participated in the survey. The questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic questions and knowledge regarding basic life support. The maximum possible score was 18. Results: Those participants who had basic life support training earned 11.91 points, while those who had not participated in lifesaving education had 9.6 points (p<0.001). Participants from former socialist Eastern European countries reached 10.13 points, while Western Europeans had average 10.85 points (p<0.001). The best results were detected among the Swedish students, and the worst among the Belgians. Conclusions: Based on the results, there are significant differences in the knowledge about basic life support between students from different European countries. Western European youth, and those who were trained had better performance. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(21), 833–837.

Level Analysis

The paper evaluates Central and Eastern European countries’ (CEEs) location in global vertical specialization (global value chains, GVCs). To locate each country in global value chains (upstream or downstream segment/market) and to compare them with the selected countries, a very selective methodology was adopted. We concluded that (a) CEE countries differ in the levels of their participation in production linkages. Countries that have stronger links with Western European countries, especially with Germany, are more integrated; (b) a large share of the CEE countries’ gross exports passes through Western European GVCs; (c) most exporters in Central and Eastern Europe are positioned in the downstream segments of production rather than in the upstream markets. JEL classification: F14, F15.
