Modern economic priorities, which predetermine the sustainability of the development of international trade are also predetermining the increase in the role of maritime transport in both business activities, ‒ social and environmental spheres. It should be borne in mind that the costs of ensuring these results are concentrated in the system of the sea conveyor industry and are used to be strictly relevant. Their effectiveness is largely displayed in the form of an emergency effect, which highly affects the demand of the consumers, which is, in its turn forms the amount of the provided services within the sea transport industries. At the same time, the subsystems of the maritime transport industry, in contrast to other activities, are governed by the international institutions which are also affecting the total results of their productions or transportation processes. Concerning the other part of the system, the investors of the merchant fleet and seaports should be focused not only on the entrepreneurial purposes, but on the external restrictions on their competitive implementation as well. Thus, one of the main problems is based on the balance of economic security and the system-wide security of the activities of enterprises of the maritime transport. It should be borne it mind that these particulars of the maritime transport, such as its port industry, the transportation system, the logistics operations and other necessary parts and spheres are highly connected and are very dependent on the maritime industry. The mentioned above information requires the choice of the management methods and maintaining the subsystems of the maritime transport industry from the system security. In turn, it is necessary to clarify the essence of this category with the provision of the above, which will subsequently strengthen the stability and reliability of the maritime industry both by the individual components and internationally. As far as known, the maritime transport is built on many different certain parts and organizations most of which cannot exist without each other.

Topicality. The peculiarity of the functioning of enterprises in the current conditions of a long-term crisis is their constant dependence on the entire set of industrial and non-industrial entities, characterized by increased rigidity of competition. As a result, it negatively affects the competitiveness and sustainability of the operation of enterprises. Therefore, solving the problem of sustainable development and the ability to withstand adverse situations is an urgent task of enterprises in modern economic conditions. Improving the system for assessing the results of the development of national shipping involves the economic isolation of the resources of enterprises of maritime transport and the interdependence of the results of all units of industrial infrastructure from the nature of interaction in the process of operating in the market of transport services.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations for a comprehensive analysis of the activities of maritime enterprises, as well as to systematize the conditions for the efficient functioning of the main units of the maritime transport industry in modern restrictions.Research results. The article defines and classifies factors of influence on the work of companies and substantiates the main ways of getting out of the economic crisis. The basis of the formation of a balanced system of indicators of effective positioning of the subsystems of the maritime transport industry is justified. It determines the clarity of the implementation of strategic approaches to the transformation of the management system with institutional and entrepreneurial factors. The mechanism of management of the efficiency of navigation and port activity in entrepreneurial and macroeconomic aspects based on the final results taking into account the principles of a market economy, external factors and restrictions is substantiated.Conclusion. Accordingly, many factors influence the sustainable development of the enterprise. However, not only the nature of factors, but also an effective mechanism for sustainable development of the enterprise is important for effective functioning. Ability to assess the sustainability of enterprise development allows to manage its level, effectively and adequately market situation to use its potential and achieve a favorable outcome.

The increase in the role of the maritime transport in the international trade determines the tasks of development of the corresponding productive capacity of shipping companies and merchant ports. In accordance with this, the need for enhancement of the technical and ecological fleet reliability and for reduction of the probability of various risks in the stable positioning of the subsystems of the global sea-borne trade market is rising. In line with the positive results of development of the national economic potential of the maritime transport industry, the totality of risks and threats emerges. It is this block of functional activity of the merchant fleet and seaports that determines the tasks and problems of the management and innovative development. The versatility of the results of the economic potential formation in the maritime transport industry determines the complications in decision-making in the system of the large number of operators that seek for the solution of the same main task. At the sametime, in addition to competitive contradictions, the probability and directionsof avoiding various risks inherent in the sea-borne trade market are to be taken into account.It is necessary to differentiate the approach to minimisationof risk manifestation depending on the nature of theircontrollability. From this point of view, the projects to expand the innovative technologies and the tasks of timely consideration of the negative manifestation of negative externalities stand out. The latter, despite the severity of manifestation, may be considered in the projects of innovative compliance. However, it is not enough to consider only the negative manifestation of the external factors among the risks. It is necessary to single out the sustainability risks, determined by the general development of the competitive advantage in the system of the sea-borne trade market. While the role of maritime transport in ensuring the stability of international relations is increasing, the requirements for the reliability of the merchant fleet run high. This becomes the most important characteristic among the totality of reliability factors of the functional activity of sea transport enterprises. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the manifestation of a number of negative consequences of large-scale transport development of the world ocean. Usually, an increase in the technogenic load on the natural environment is taken into account and the risks of emergencies remain. In these constraints, it is important to revise the traditional approaches to certain issues of shipping management.

The contradictory nature of the economic growth of the structural subdivisions of the global division of labor predetermines the special requirements for the development of the maritime trade market. Despite the sustainable significance of the maritime transport industry for the formation of effective foreign economic relations, there are constant systemic changes in the structure of merchant shipping. A modern feature of the functioning of the global maritime trade market and of the positioning of several shipping companies is the asymmetry of the stability parameters of enterprises and the volatility of the external conditions of their operator and investment activities. Therefore, the features of managing the stability of the positioning of individual subsystems of the marine complex are considered from the position of global needs of international trade and the efficiency of entrepreneurial activity of shipowners and operators.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of a family of heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones that have a common alpha subunit but differ in their hormone-specific beta subunit. Site-directed mutagenesis of the two asparagine-linked glycosylation sites of hCG alpha was used to study the function of the individual oligosaccharide chains in secretion and subunit assembly. Expression vectors for the alpha genes (wild-type and mutant) and the hCG beta gene were constructed and transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells. Loss of the oligosaccharide at position 78 causes the mutant subunit to be degraded quickly and less than 20% is secreted. However, the presence of hCG beta stabilizes this mutant and allows approximately 45% of the subunit in the form of a dimer to exit the cell. Absence of carbohydrate at asparagine 52 does not perturb the stability or transport of the alpha subunit but does affect dimer secretion; under conditions where this mutant or hCG beta was in excess, less than 30% is secreted in the form of a dimer. Mutagenesis of both glycosylation sites affects monomer and dimer secretion but at levels intermediate between the single-site mutants. We conclude that there are site-specific functions of the hCG alpha asparagine-linked oligosaccharides with respect to the stability and assembly of hCG.

Insects play an important role in the stability of ecosystems by fulfilling key functions such as pollination and nutrient cycling, as well as acting as prey for amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The global decline of insects is therefore a cause for concern, and the role of chemical pesticides must be examined carefully. The lethal effects of insecticides are well understood, but sub-lethal concentrations have not been studied in sufficient detail. We therefore used the western honeybee Apis mellifera as a model to test the effect of the neonicotinoid insecticide clothianidin on the movement, biosensory abilities and odor-dependent conditioning of insects, titrating from lethal to sub-lethal doses. Bees treated with sub-lethal doses showed no significant movement impairment compared to untreated control bees, but their ability to react to an aversive stimulus was inhibited. These results show that clothianidin is not only highly toxic to honeybees, but can, at lower doses, also disrupt the biosensory capabilities of survivors, probably reducing fitness at the individual level. In our study, sub-lethal doses of clothianidin altered the biosensory abilities of the honeybee; possible consequences at the colony level are discussed.
