To date, there are a variety of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the company's fixed assets, using which it is possible to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the key aspects of the use of resources, their structure, dynamics, degree of reproduction. At the same time, the nature of the use of fixed assets varies significantly depending on the industry affiliation or scale of activities, which dictates the need for adjustments to take into account all these factors. Most of the fixed assets used at Russian enterprises were acquired 12-20 years ago, which causes a decrease in the efficiency of their use. The low level of fund recovery, and its subsequent decline in the country as a whole, and especially in industry, suggests the need for in-depth analysis to find the impact of factors and their subsequent impact. When calculating performance indicators, efficiency indicators are used, which are reflected in the accounting statements, which do not reflect the total volume of products produced. The nature of equipment use is low by the degree of involvement in the production process. All of these factors together have a negative impact on the performance of the means of production. The article provides a possible option for using factor analysis methods, the use of which will allow for informed management decisions on the structure of equipment, its replacement, nature and intensity of use.

App-driven ridesharing platforms are gaining popularity and are transforming urban movement patterns in cities throughout the world. Because of privacy and business considerations, their owners have released little information about riders’ trip-making characteristics. This lack of data prevents planners and modelers from understanding and quantifying the impact of these new modes on regional travel patterns. In 2016, RideAustin, a not-for-profit company, was established to provide mobility-on-demand services in the Austin region. RideAustin released its dataset of over one million trips to researchers to support transportation planning through a better understanding of urban travel flows. This paper presents findings from an in-depth analysis of this dataset and summarizes key aspects of interest to the transportation research community such as the number of riders, drivers, and trips; total vehicle miles including deadhead miles; and terminal times. The paper also presents findings from two case studies that show the competitiveness of RideAustin versus transit and the utilization of the RideAustin system during the South by Southwest festival. While some of the metrics cannot be readily transferred to other regions, several findings can be used by planners and modelers as they integrate rideshare systems within their planning and modeling frameworks. We also believe that some of the research findings may provide insights into a future system of autonomous and shared vehicles.

Analysis and generalization of previous studies showed that there is no comprehensive solution to the problem of increasing the operational reliability of building frames, reconstruction and modernization of buildings and structures, taking into account a sustainable approach. After the completion of construction, the frame of the building is constantly and steadily changing and wearing out, as a result, requiring an increase in operational reliability, and these processes are associated with the correct decision-making on changing the bearing capacity of structures and on the technology and organization of the corresponding work. To solve this problem, it is necessary to create a general methodology for a system for modeling constructive and technological solutions. The system's methodology is intended to reduce costs while increasing the reliability of frame structures, taking into account social culture, optimal impact on society, efficient use of resources and environmental principles. Particularly acute is the problem of introducing innovative and effective organizational and constructive-technological solutions to ensure the required performance and functionality with a minimum negative impact on the environment, while taking into account the improvement of economic, social, cultural aspects at the local, regional and global levels. In addition, the necessary criteria are an increase of the bearing capacity, a decrease in deformability and the recovery of the operational suitability of building structures. The article investigates a comprehensive solution to the problem of increasing the operational reliability of building frames during the reconstruction and modernization of buildings and structures. Identified internal and external factors of changes, as well as the main criteria for increasing the operational reliability of building frames. Consideration of these factors as a range of functions makes it possible to predict the long-term needs and behavior of the building frame throughout the entire life cycle, taking into account the degradation of building components and the need to restore or strengthen the elements of the building frames. After collecting and analyzing information on the identified factors, a system of technological solutions is proposed that takes into account a sustainable approach to reconstruction and categories such as organizational and technological solutions, structures, materials, economics, management, ecology, social culture, in particular the impact on society and the environment.

In modern conditions, an important role is played by the ability to manage the assets of the enterprise, which depends on the effective development of production, maximizing profits and increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise. In order to achieve high results of the enterprise it is important to monitor and analyze the state, the dynamics of the use of assets, to assess their impact on the main performance indicators of the enterprise. To do this, it is necessary to have timely and relevant analytical information. That is why the aim of the study were theoretical, methodological and practical issues of analysis of non-current assets in the management system of development of production potential of enterprises. The study was conducted on the materials of Agricultural Company "Svoboda", Odessa region, Izmail district, p. Stara Nekrasivka. The company’s reporting data for 2000 - 2019 were used. During the research general scientific and applied methods and techniques were used, in particular: dialectical method of cognition, analysis and synthesis, system approach (for studying theoretical issues of analysis of non-current assets); comparison, questionnaires, expert assessments, coefficient analysis (study of the practice of analysis of non-current assets); econometric modeling (assessment of the value of non-current assets in the management system of the production potential of the enterprise). The results of the modelling indicate the impact of the value of non-current assets, including fixed assets, the degree of their depreciation on the performance of the enterprise. We consider that for high performance of the enterprise it is important to monitor and analyze the state, the dynamics of the use of assets, to assess their impact on the main performance indicators of the enterprise. To increase the efficiency of formation and use of non-current assets in the analyzed company it is necessary to: implement all opportunities to increase production, improve its quality, increase competitiveness, ensure high return on investment and capital investment; reduce construction time and work in progress; to improve the acquisition of fixed assets, especially in the direction of optimizing the relationship between their individual species, groups.

Marketing is one of the key elements of the success of all companies, including the wine sector. Given the importance of wine producers for agriculture, it is important to define and monitor key performance indicators in marketing (KPIs) for a successful stay in the market and a competitive position at home and abroad. Today, the increase in competitive advantage includes mainly marketing, innovation and information and communication technologies. New digital tools and innovations have changed the way we approached data and decisions. A modernly adapted and effective strategic marketing strategy represents for wine companies an understanding mainly of their possibilities as well as the possibilities to influence the customer. This article evaluates the key performance indicators in marketing (KPI) and its relationship and impact on the financial situation of wine producers in Slovakia. The research sample includes 80 respondents. We obtained the primary data through a questionnaire, which was filled in by the leaders of wine companies. We verified the accuracy by means of descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression and Kruskall-Wallis test. We have verified the reliability of the data with the Cronbach alpha test. We have formulated scientific assumptions for in-depth analysis: hypothesis 1 – assumes that key performance indicators have a significant influence on financial situation of selected companies, hypothesis 2 – the use of ICT in marketing is statistically related to the key performance indicators. The results showed a statistically significant impact of KPIs on the financial situation of companies. We have identified significance in customer satisfaction and loyalty, brand awareness and return of investment. However, we were unable to statistically confirm the impact of other indicators (sales growth, market share, gaining new customers). We also identified significant differences in the use of ICT in marketing with key performance indicators in hiring new customers and return on investment. This research contributes positively to the importance of brand building in the eyes of customers as well as customer service, building loyalty and satisfaction, which returns to the loyal approach of customers to the repurchase of wine products and provides advice for professionals. Return on investment helps in more accurate business decisions that can be used when purchasing new equipment (technology), hiring employees, or properly assessing the profitability of marketing strategies.

Distraction of the driver's attention is one of the key aspects of research conducted by automotive companies. It concerns not only on-board devices, but also the factors outside the vehicle, such as advertising displays. Too much attention focused on advertisements can have negative impact on the driver's behaviour and driving quality. The 2-second distraction can more than double the risk of an accident. The paper presents the results of a simulator-based study, in which 60 drivers (including 30 women) age- 18-64 take part. All participants had a valid driving license and differed in their driving experience. It has been verified how the time of focusing the attention on the roadside advertisements affects the given safety and driving performance indicators.

The object of the research is the features of the development of distance employment in the modern Russian economy. The aim of the work is to analyze the impact of distance employment on the labor market and identify the main directions of its transformation. The authors used the methods of critical analysis of scientific and methodical literature, statistical and empirical methods. revealed the advantages of using distance employment for employers, as well as a number of problems related to information and communication support for the activities of remote workers, the use of their own means of production, digital inequality among different age groups of the population and between regions The authors note the excessive state regulation of this category of employed in the public sector by the state and come to the conclusion that the lack of scientific study of its main definitions has a negative impact on the study of distance employment and its impact on the labor market. There are problems in the legal regulation of distance employment associated with the use of workers' own means of production, the regulation of work and rest regimes, and safety measures. There is no statistical record of this category of workers. Since the indicators and characteristics of the Russian labor market have worsened during the pandemic, it is necessary to develop measures to promote employment of the population and transform its structure, considering the requirements of digitalization and optimization of the Russian economy. The obtained theoretical and practical results of the research can be used in the development and implementation of employment policies by federal and regional authorities, as well as applied in the collective and contractual regulation of social and labor relations.

The growing importance of social media in entrepreneurship has been observed for a long time already. Their impact is multidimensional and applies to all sectors: private, public and non-governmental. This article focuses on selected entrepreneurship aspects, and it aims to determine the role of social media in entrepreneurship based on selected issues with particular reference to the functioning of enterprises and influencing consumer behaviour. The author has considered the impact of social media on businesses and consumer behaviour. It was determined how social media enable enterprises to interact with consumers and affect demand and supply, including the phenomenon of prosumption. Thus, it can be assumed that social media influence economic equilibrium. Besides, social media allow the optimisation of operating costs and enable more efficient use of resources. They also have a real impact on consumer decisions. As a research method, an in-depth analysis of secondary data available in the literature was used. The article includes theoretical discussion supported by the research of other writers in the literature relating to the issue analysed. The analysis has shown the significant role of social media in the business entrepreneurship economy.

Abstract The human organic cation transporter-1 (hOCT-1) is the major active influx protein responsible for the transport of imatinib into blood cells 1,2. The functional activity of the OCT-1 protein is defined as the intracellular uptake and retention (IUR) of 14-C labelled imatinib into patient pre therapy mononuclear blood cells over a two hour period, which is inhibited by OCT-1 inhibitors such as prazosin or procainamide. The level of OCT-1 activity is a key determinant of the interpatient variation observed in intrinsic sensitivity to imatinib induced kinase inhibition (IC50imatinib3). We have previously demonstrated that a significantly greater proportion of de-novo CML patients with high functional activity of OCT-1, achieve a major molecular response (MMR: 3 log reduction in BCR-ABL mRNA from standardised baseline) when treated with imatinib, than patients with low OCT-1 Activity 4. We have also identified a link between dose and OCT-1 Activity, demonstrating that the negative impact of low OCT-1 Activity could be overcome to a variable extent by imatinib dose increase. However, not all patients can dose increase, largely because of tolerability issues. While the transport of second-generation ABL-kinase inhibitors (nilotinib and dasatinib5) is not OCT-1 mediated, the long term effect of these drugs is not yet known. Hence, we sought to identify strategies to increase OCT-1-mediated imatinib uptake. We queried the drug gene expression signatures in version 1 of the Connectivity Map (CMAP; Lamb J, Nat. Rev. Cancer7; 54–60, 2007: http://www.broad.mit.edu/cmap) with 3 transporters including OCT-1. This identified the Rho kinase inhibitor fasudil and COX-2 inhibitor / celecoxib analogue LM1685 as potential up-regulators of OCT-1 mRNA. The impact of these drugs on OCT-1 mRNA expression and IC50imatinib (fasudil alone to date) has been analysed in two bcr-abl positive cell lines (K562 and KU812). The effect of these two candidate OCT-1 enhancers on OCT-1-mediated imatinib uptake was also assessed in 10 newly diagnosed chronic phase CML patients, previously demonstrated to have low OCT-1 Activity (4 with no demonstrable OCT-1 Activity), using the IUR assay. Table 1: Assessing the effects of fasudil and LM1685 on the intracellular transport of imatinib. These data demonstrate a statistically significant increase in OCT-1 Activity with LM1685, and show a strong trend towards significance with fasudil. Importantly, we show that patients with no demonstrable OCT-1 Activity (0ng/200,000 cells) have detectable Activity in the presence of both fasudil (Range 1.5 to 2ng/200,000 cells) and LM1685 (Range 1.5 to 4.5 ng/200,000 cells). We have previously demonstrated that patients with no detectable OCT-1 Activity universally fail to achieve imatinib therapeutic response milestones (imatinib failure), whereas 54% of patients with low, but detectable OCT-1 Activity achieve these milestones4. The ability to enhance the functional activity of the OCT-1 protein may therefore be of significant clinical relevance in this group. In addition we demonstrate an increase in imatinib IUR which, along with the increase in OCT-1 Activity, is likely associated with increased OCT-1 mRNA levels. Significantly, in the two CML cell lines tested we show a marked reduction in the IC50imatinib indicating that the observed increase in IUR and OCT-1 Activity translates to an increase in the kinase inhibitory activity of imatinib. Preliminary analysis in one patient analysed to date also indicates a reduction in IC50 from 0.48 to 0.35μM in the presence of fasudil. In the clinical scenario the use of such OCT-1 enhancers may improve the response of some imatinib treated patients to both standard and increased dose imatinib. Importantly, these findings validate the use of resources such as C-MAP to identify candidate drugs that may mediate desired changes in the levels of key proteins resulting in improved response to therapy.

This article is devoted to the consideration of methods for assessing tax potential of regions, as well as the factors impacting tax potential. The aim of the research is to review approaches designated to determining the essence of the tax potential concept, as well as to study the factors influencing thereupon. In the process of assessing tax potential of the regions in the analysis, we use the data on budget revenues by region for 2008-2020, regional GDP, investments in fixed assets, tax arrears and the number of operating taxpayers. The analysis of the panel revealed that the impact of regional GDP on agriculture and industry on tax revenues was positive, there has been observed high statistical significance and negative impact on the number of small businesses. As a result of the analysis, appropriate conclusions on important aspects of assessing tax potential of the regions have been formulated.
