This paper suggests new perspective to evaluating innovation projects and understanding the nature of startup risks. Author consider five principal hypotheses that underlie every innovative project that comprise a bunch of respective assumptions to manage startup risks in a proactive manner. Suggested approach spots the light on a project’s uncertainties and risks, embedded investment and managerial options, and enables more comprehensive and accurate evaluation of innovation. The Hypotheses Testing Method enables to estimate risks and attractiveness of a startup project in a clear and fast manner. It replaces unclear traditional techniques like NPV and DCF, avoiding heavy cash flow modelling.

In the difficult period of the country's economic structure functioning, investment forms the future of technical, financial and economic security. The legally regulated institutional framework creates opportunities for an abrupt innovation start. However, the low positions, which are caused by the economy of war, do not provide opportunities for its implementation. Consequently, the full and rational use of existing chances becomes a guarantee of at least a slow implementation of the strategies of innovative development of enterprises. In this way, the system of auditor consulting and formation of audit opinion about the effectiveness of innovative processes and projects is a priority. Available analysis tools, system approach and cash flow modelling, provide investors with confidence and generate interest from shareholders and owners. The calculation of a number of indicators characterizing the effectiveness of innovation projects becomes a guarantee of their implementation and achievement of management objectives. Therefore, the application of analytical techniques in the process of audit of innovative projects allows the auditor to form an independent opinion on their convenience.

This article provides an in-depth study of methods and approaches to the management of environmental innovation projects developed by domestic and foreign scientists. As a result of the analysis of methods and approaches, it was revealed that they do not take into account the importance of influencing factors on an innovative project, while this does not detail management activities at all stages of the life cycle of an innovative project. A methodology for managing environmental innovation projects was developed. The technique allows you to form a sequence of actions for the subjects of management at the enterprise in order to select the most effective projects that contribute to the achievement of the strategic goals of the enterprise, taking into account the influence of external and internal factors.

Differences in lifespan between populations, e.g. between females and males, are often measured by differences in summary statistics, such as life expectancy, which generally show an advantage of females over males across the whole age span. However, such statistics ignore the fact that two lifespan distributions are generally not mutually exclusive and that not all females outlive all males. Here we use a novel measure of inequality in lifespans: the outsurvival probability, which is interpreted as the probability of males to outlive females. The measure accounts for the similarities in lifespan between populations. It also considers the interaction between the mean and variance of two lifespan distributions and their combined effect on between-populations inequalities. Our results show that the probability of males outliving females varied between 25% and 50%, across 44 countries and regions since the middle of the 18th century. Thus, despite the usually male lower life expectancy and higher death rates at all ages, males have a substantial chance of outliving females. Our suggested approach is generalizable to any pair of populations.

Lapping leads to a surface with low roughness and high precision. Because of required parts accuracy tool flatness is the key to the successful machining. To avoid its excessive thermal expansion, plate temperature research was taken. The goal was to determine the correlation between the basic lapping conditions and wheel temperature. In work [1] authors developed model to estimate the maximum and average temperature rise of the work surface in lapping. According those models temperature rise depends also on workpiece and plate hardness. Because the second is constant during process, this part of research refer only to the influence of workpieces hardness. They were conducted during lapping the samples made of steel 45. To vary the hardness, samples were divide into three groups each with different Knoop hardness value: 175, 471 and 687. The different hardness values were a result of different heat treatment methods used. Every group after grinding were lapped with the same lapping conditions. In the next step the statistical analysis was conducted. It was verified if the plate temperature is influenced by the workpieces hardness. A hypotheses testing method was use. Results were calculated for temperature rise values measured after 300 minutes of machine working. According to them the influence of workpiece hardness on plate temperature is statistically insignificant.
