 Fixed assets especially house and land have significant importance in wealth, social security and power in Nepal. Ownership over these assets has greater implications in women’s status within households and communities. This also decides the economic dependence or independence and provides the means to be engaged in productive economic activity. The present study aims at analyzing the regional pattern of female ownership of fixed assets- house and land. Relevant data were acquired from a desk review of published and unpublished literature including online database. The study finds that there is a great gender discrepancy in ownership of fixed assets in Nepal and this varies across ecological zones and provinces. Female ownership of both land and house is associated with 10.7 percent while only 9.0 percent have ownership of land only. Tarai shows relatively positive condition as compared to other ecological zones with female ownership of 12.3 percent households with house and land and 10.5 percent with only land. Among provinces, the most negative situation exists in the province six as compared to others. The socio-cultural barriers are still a major challenge for women’s ownership of property in Nepal.The Third Pole: Journal of GeographyVol. 17: 73-82, 2017

The most relevant aspects of achieving economic security of enterprises are determined in the article. The assessment of the level of economic security was conducted using the method of analysis of the functioning environment. The focal points of the assessment are interests, threats and resources. The possibility of economic security strengthening of business entities is traced using analysis of economic activity of mechanical engineering companies of Vinnytsia region of Ukraine as an example. At the same time, businesses that cannot cover the cost of resources with the income from goods sale in the current year were singled out. Businesses entities positioning in the functioning environment in the context of economic security motivation (interests - increase in enterprise income, threats - growth of current and long-term liabilities, resources - use of fixed assets and employees), allowed to find opportunities to increase the efficiency of enterprises that to the greater extent are related to the manufacturing of machinery and equipment.

The article reveals the economic essence of the material and technical base of agrarian enterprises. The study considers the causal link between the availability and the formation of the material and technical base of the agrarian enterprises and economic growth. The material and technical basis of agriculture is considered as a combination of land, material and production resources, material and technical elements and biological resources interdependent and interrelated, involved in achieving current and strategic goals. The research methodology is based on theoretical developments and scientific tools that includes methods for constructing dynamic series, comparative and economic analysis, and allows to systematize, unify and identify the directions of reproduction of the material and technical base of the agrarian sphere for further economic development. The source of the research was the value and structure of Ukraine's fixed assets by type of economic activity, published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, taking into account the period 2000-2017, as well as data on the availability of machinery and power facilities in agriculture in the dynamics. The ways of solving problems of reproduction and updating of basic means of agriculture are generalized. It has been determined that the optimal balance between types and groups of fixed assets in terms of the type of economic activity, as well as exceeding the level of renewal and acquisition of fixed assets above their retirement and write-offs, and the possibility of obtaining investments and access to state programs will enable the formation of fixed assets and efficient use

The development of processing organizations in a changing environment requires constant updating of approaches to assessing the processes of their economic activity, including the knowledge of methods and tools for analyzing the technical component of a business. As the main analysis tool, special techniques are usually used based on a certain sequence of calculation of analytical units. Existing approaches to the business analysis of fixed assets are based on level terminology and provide fragmented methodological procedures that include complexes of traditional, rather than key indicator systems. Considering the peculiarities of the dialectical methodological postulate of the transition of quantity into quality and taking into account the process nature of the subject of business analysis, it is advisable to develop an algorithm for methodological procedures for evaluating the technical component of the economic activity of organizations processing agricultural raw materials; justify the possibility of taking advantage of the comparative approach to algorithmization; identify meaningful relationships between the attributive properties of static and dynamic key performance indicators. Using the proclaimed targets, a five-stage business analysis algorithm for the technical component of the economic activity of sugar production entities has been formed, taking into account the specific features of these processing organizations. The distinguishing features of the developed algorithm is the ranking of key indicators, organizations themselves and periods of assessment. The selection of key indicators was carried out on the basis of the systemic method and cost approach, the combination of which makes it possible to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of reliability and accuracy. Recommended business analytical procedures systematically cover the entire process of movement of fixed assets in organizations, which allows us to eliminate existing gaps in the formation of an information base for evaluating the technical component and identify benchmark areas for making proactive management decisions in terms of mobilizing all the possibilities for the intensive use of fixed assets organizations.

The paper studies the spatial proportions of Russian development and their change since the beginning of the XXI century. Several indicators of economic activity are used: population, employment, fixed assets and GRP. Several directions of transformation are considered: West-East, "center" - "periphery", regions of mining and processing specialization. The methods of research are the Theil index and estimates of regression equations. The analysis showed that there is a movement of economic activity from East to West, from the "periphery" to the "center" and from resource to manufacturing regions, the combination of these processes leads to higher concentration and growth of interregional differences in the country. Spatial changes in modern Russia are influenced by factors of market and agglomeration nature, such as the capacity and availability of markets, the presence of large cities, acting as centers of development.
