The article deals with the problems of positioning the Territory (Country, Region, United territorial communities). When positioning a territory, use only such characteristics that are important, for example, for business entities, investors, residents, or persons who are interested in this territory, and which they focus on when making their choice. It is proved that the results of positioning the territory can be considered the formation of economic, social, and attractive attractiveness of the territory. The essence of economic attractiveness as a set of results of financial and economic activity of the economic complex of the territory and its economic potential is considered. Social attractiveness is considered as a process of creating a qualitative state of the living conditions of society, and above all, increasing the level of its social well-being. Attractivity in the context of forming the attractiveness of the territory is considered as a symbiosis of appropriate household (comfortable) conditions for the life of the population and a clean environment, the existence of a favorable business environment that ensures the efficiency of business activities and creates the basis for meeting the various needs of society. The results of positioning a territory are considered as an intangible asset that has its value. The effectiveness of measures for positioning a territory (country, region, ah) can be determined using appropriate assessments of its effectiveness. In modern science, the concept of "efficiency" is considered an economic category that has independent qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Note that efficiency will be understood as the ratio between the results obtained and the costs (resources) for obtaining these results. When evaluating the effectiveness of territory positioning, we consider comparing the costs already incurred with the results of the positioning procedure. Thus, the importance of improving the assessment of the effectiveness of territory positioning is primarily due to the social nature of these costs. Estimating the cost-effectiveness of territory positioning is significantly complicated. This is because the results of this process (image creation, brand promotion, business reputation formation) are expressed not so much in monetary or value-form, but have an intangible effect. Difficulties in estimating the cost-effectiveness of territory positioning arise due to the uncertainty of the final result, which can only be predicted approximately. Thus, it is advisable to consider the results of positioning the territory as an intangible asset that has its value. The article offers an approach to assessing the effectiveness of territory positioning, which consists of using a system of indicators that combines economic, social, and attractive efficiency.

Based on the results of our research, we believe that the essence of positioning a territory is a set of efforts aimed at adapting it to the requirements of target market segments. When positioning a territory, use such characteristics that are important for business entities, investors, residents, or persons who are interested in this territory, and which they are guided by when making their choice. Under the economic attractiveness of the territory, it is advisable to understand the totality of the results of financial and economic activity of the economic complex of the territory and its economic potential. The economic attractiveness of the territory gives an idea of the economic development of the territory based on objective and subjective characteristics. It is proved that the formation of social attractiveness of the territory should be considered as a process of creating a qualitative state of the living conditions of society, and above all, increasing the level of its social well-being. Attractivity in the context of forming the attractiveness of the territory is considered as a symbiosis of appropriate household (comfortable) conditions for the life of the population and a clean environment, on the other hand, the existence of a favorable business environment that ensures the efficiency of business activities and creates the basis for meeting the various needs of society. The implementation of the territory positioning concept is based on activities aimed at identifying unique characteristics of the territory that allow attracting additional resources for their functioning and attracting the attention of potential investors. The attractiveness of territories under this concept is determined by their unique characteristics. The effectiveness of measures for positioning a territory (country, region, ah) can be determined using appropriate assessments of its effectiveness. Note that efficiency will be understood as the ratio between the results obtained and the costs (resources) for obtaining these results. When evaluating the effectiveness of territory positioning, we consider comparing the costs that are spent with the results of the positioning procedure. Estimating the cost-effectiveness of territory positioning is significantly complicated. This is because the results of this process (image creation, brand promotion, business reputation formation) are expressed not so much in monetary or value-form, but have an intangible effect. It is proved that the results of positioning the territory should be considered as an intangible asset that has its value.

BACKGROUND Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder associated with numerous functional deficits and poor long-term outcomes. Internationally, behavioral interventions are recommended as part of a multimodal treatment approach for children with ADHD. Currently in Japan there are limited interventions available targeting ADHD. Well Parent Japan (WPJ), a new hybrid parent training program, provides a culturally acceptable, and effective way to help support Japanese children with ADHD and their parents. OBJECTIVE This pragmatic multi-center randomised controlled trial will provide preliminary evidence about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of WPJ evaluated against treatment as usual (TAU) within routine Japanese mental health services. METHODS Mothers of children (6-12 years) diagnosed with ADHD will be recruited from child and adolescent mental health care services at three hospital sites across Japan (Fukui, Fukuoka and Okinawa). Mothers will be randomized to immediate treatment or TAU. The effectiveness and cost effectiveness of WPJ over TAU at the end of intervention and at 3-month follow-up will be evaluated. The primary outcome is maternal Parent Domain stress in the parenting role. The following secondary outcomes will be explored: child behavior, including severity of ADHD symptoms; parenting practices; emotional well-being and the parent-child relationship. Data analysis will follow intention-to-treat principles with treatment effects quantified through ANCOVA by means of multi-level modeling. An incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) will be used to analyse the cost-effectiveness of the WPJ intervention. RESULTS Study funding was secured from a Proof of Concept grant in July 2018. IRB approval for the data collection sites was obtained between 2017 and 2019. Data collection began in August 2019 with expected completion date of January 2022. Subject recruitment (N = 120) was completed in May 2021. Effectiveness and cost-effectivenss analyses are expected to be completed by July 2022 and December 2022 respectively. These timelines are subject to change due to Covid-19. CONCLUSIONS This is the first multisite pragmatic trial of WPJ based on the recruitment of children referred directly to routine clinical services in Japan. This multisite randomized trial tests the effectiveness of WPJ with children and families by comparing WPJ directly to the usual clinical care on offer for children diagnosed with ADHD in Japan. We also seek to assess and compare the cost effectiveness of WPJ with TAU in Japan. CLINICALTRIAL The study was retrospectively registered with ISRCTN after the first of three waves of participant recruitment. Trial registration number: ISRCTN66978270 (https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN66978270).

The Impact

Social marketing has a key role to play in helping to shape the choices people make and supporting the decisions and actions that determine their health and well-being. These choices have a broad impact on society, affecting not only the quality of life of individuals and communities and the cost of public services, but also the performance of business and the economy. In this article we discuss how the impact of behavior choices and the interventions that support them can be evaluated. We briefly set out the problems of measuring the cost effectiveness of behavior choice interventions and propose an approach to these challenges. The article illustrates how a pragmatic, layered framework for evaluating cost effectiveness can be developed and applied in five fields in which positive behavior choices can prevent illness (alcohol misuse, smoking, obesity, coronary vascular disease, and mental health). The review identifies the value of a quality adjusted life year in each of these fields and uses these estimates to generate “return on investment” for typical projects, at different levels in society (individual and family, health and care services, other public sector, private sector, and wider society). Finally we propose a consensus conference to develop and apply such a framework.

Entrepreneurship is one of the pillars of the economy of the country and covers all sectors irrespective of ownership forms. Currently, this activity is increasingly spreading in rural areas. Our research results on transformation in the agricultural sector of the economy show that it is due to the development of entrepreneurship and strengthening entrepreneurial orientation and improvement of business environment economic entities in rural areas they were able to quickly and efficiently adapt to market conditions and to enter the foreign market, therefore, the purpose of the paper is to define the basic principles and the principles of entrepreneurial activity, its specifics and trends in agriculture and rural areas, to show the beginning and the development of collective and individual entrepreneurship. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method of cognition and systematic approach, through which theoretical and methodological foundations of the development of business interactions in the agricultural sector in terms of institutional transformations. The results showed that in the article, the methodical design determining the nature and characteristics of agricultural business organically integrated the concept of institutional knowledge of the economic order, which allows us to identify the evolutionary concept of the formation of enterprises; the structure of the institutional system of entrepreneurship in the context of the evolution of this concept. Practical implications. The studied institutions create incentives for the development of science and education, encourage the mobility of production factors, and facilitate the transfer of scientific and technical information and the introduction of new technologies, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. Conversely, inefficient institutions reduce the potential level of well-being, reduce reliability assurance of property rights, and enforce contracts. Value/originality. Given systematic and analytical characteristics of the effects, significance, dynamics of development of agrarian entrepreneurship in the context of institutional transformation, show the paradox, the stability of the institutional environment will not soon be reached, therefore, the dilemma of institutions remains unresolved. In general, the institutional transformation has ensured the formation of a mixed economy, the real pluralism of forms of ownership and agricultural management even if they are not yet fully institutionalized in the market. Transformations in the business environment we call the transformation of institutional conditions for the development of economic formations. Institute of entrepreneurship for the imperfections of the rules and conditions of economic interactions has not yet become mutually beneficial by the Institute for functional participants. Analysis of the development of agrarian enterprises in the conditions of institutional transformations proves the inconsistency of the institutional framework of entrepreneurial activity, which leads to a decrease in the number of enterprises – economic entities, non-transparent activities of business entities, the removal of landlords from participation in the activities of enterprises.

The Cost

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant burden on population well being and healthcare expenditure in Turkey, with disease prevalence continuing to increase. Insulin treatment is necessary for patients failing to achieve glycaemic control with lifestyle modification or oral antidiabetic drugs. While neutral protamin Hagedorn (NPH) insulin has been traditionally prescribed for insulin introduction, insulin glargine has been shown to reduce glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with a more favourable hypoglycaemic profile. Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of insulin glargine compared to NPH insulin in patients with T2DM in Turkey, from a Social Security Institution perspective. Methods: A previously published discrete event simulation model of T2DM progression was utilised to characterise the cost-effectiveness of insulin glargine in a Turkish population given the benefits observed in clinical practice. Improvements in glycaemic control have been incorporated using data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database in the United Kingdom, combined with meta-regression results describing the relationship between hypoglycaemia and glycaemic control. Outcomes were evaluated over a 40-year horizon, and costs and benefits discounted at an annual rate of 3.5%. Results are reported in Turksih lira (TL), 2012. Results: Over a lifetime, the Incremental Cost-effectiveness Ratio (ICER) of insulin glargine compared to NPH was 40,101 TL per Quality-adjusted Life Year (QALY). Almost 52 hypoglycaemic events per patient were avoided with the use of insulin glargine compared to NPH, at an incremental lifetime cost of 7,140 TL per patient. The cost-effectiveness of insulin glargine is reduced when modelling only those benefits considered in the trial setting, while the cost-effectiveness profile can be expected to further improve in patients with higher HbA1c levels at baseline. Conclusion: It is difficult to interpret the results of modelling as there is no official cost-effectiveness threshold in Turkey. However, the results may be evaluated using thresholds derived according to methodology proposed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Insulin glargine is expected to be costeffective compared to NPH insulin, with an ICER below three times the estimated gross domestic product (GDP) per capita; 56,850 TL.

The article is devoted to the comprehensive study of changes in modern trends in the use of innovative technologies characterized by the transition to knowledge economy and information society, which in many respects determine the economic and social type of development of the international and national economy. The article reveals the problems, the main directions and prospects in the category of «intellectual enterprise». The authors focus on the role of innovation in the modern world, its active dissemination, introduction into all spheres of economic activity, emergence of new technologies, intellectualization and informatization of production. The authors propose the proper definition of the category of «intellectual enterprise». Particular attention is paid to the relevance of intellectual entrepreneurship in modern conditions, which primarily happens due to active changes of such concepts as «knowledge», «trade», as well as constant reorientation of modern trends. The entrepreneurial sector determines the preconditions for the formation of qualitative changes of an economic and social nature, based on the introduction of innovations and self-organization of business entities. As exploratory task, the authors identified an attempt to evaluate intellectual entrepreneurship in the context of innovation on the example of developed countries. This direction is also supplemented by consideration of current trends in the development of intellectual entrepreneurship in Ukraine, which today, unlike many developed countries, is just being initiated in the realities of Ukrainian business environment. In the end, certain measures were proposed those could provide the necessary processes for creating a supportive environment where the process of formation, growth, use and creative processing of already existing data and information as a resource for creating innovative solutions in Ukraine will take place.
