The construction of field hospitals has been a strategy adopted worldwide to face the consequences of the pandemic impacts caused by COVID-19 on healthcare systems. Specific characteristics of this pandemic, such as different ways and speeds of the disease transmission, and the implications at the population health and the productive system, has made the project, management, and construction of field hospitals for the patients with COVID-19 present specific features. In this work, for each phase of the FHLB  implantation, we present the main concepts, premises, restrictions, and challenges, focusing mainly on the needs programs of the project that guided the configuration of the environments, the definition of the circulation flows,  the typology of the beds, the main management tools used during the project's planning and control process, and in the lessons learned.

The articles deals with historical analysis of systems approach usage in project management. Definition of Enterprise Project Management as a system is suggested. The article describes research results about usage of different project management methods and tools at different levels of management in an organization. Thus, top management mostly uses project portfolio management tools, project control and project procurement methods, i.e. project suppliers’ reliability appraisal. Mid level management prefers project planning and control tools as well as project change management tools. Low level management uses project initiation and control tools such as project charter, Gantt charts, project progress reports and strategic milestone plans. The proposed approach can be used in the process of Enterprise Project Management methodology development.

Trade is of great importance for the national economy and society as a whole. Trade enterprises act as providers between producers of consumer goods and consumers, focused on meeting customer demand, account for a significant share in the formation of gross domestic product. Environmental factors affect the conditions and results of the trade enterprise (e.g., pandemic, hostilities, sanctions, etc.). Society's demands for the social responsibility of trade enterprises are changing and becoming more stringent. All this strengthens the responsibility of enterprise management and leads to the introduction of effective management tools. Such a modern management tool is controlling. The views of scientists on defining the essence and meaning of controlling differ. The study is based on the definition of controlling, according to which controlling is considered as a complete, cyclical, comprehensive process of goal setting, planning and control of activities in conjunction with various management systems. Controllers mainly perform two roles in the enterprise: on the one hand, they are internal consultants and management partners and, thus, responsible for achieving goals. On the other hand, controllers are service providers in which they are responsible for providing accurate and relevant information for consulting. As a result, requests for reliable, timely and relevant information are increasing. Information for management decisions is formed in the system of accounting controlling. The political, economic and social course of the country to meet the goals of sustainable development leads to a radical rethinking of management and the transition from a systemic to a process approach to management. In the main processes, the actual added value is generated at the enterprise. They are defined as directly meeting the needs of consumers and include, for example, research and development, production and sales. The set of all major controlling processes can be represented as a model. The formation of accounting support for controlling is appropriate to carry out on the basis of certain basic processes.

Companies are progressively investing in practices aimed at improving the quality of management, with the main purpose of enabling them to operate competitively in the present market. For this, it is necessary to document the activities and information of the existing business processes in the organization, aiming at reducing time and cost in the elaboration of the particular model. In this context, the objective of this work is to develop a reference model of the Master Production Schedule (MPS) processes, an important module of production planning and control (PPC). The research methodology used in this work was divided into the following stages: study of MPS and business process modeling, definition of reference model processes, choice of methodology and process modeling tool, development of reference model and prototype of the software and, finally, analysis of results. The modeling notation used was the BPMN, since it is considered a standard language in the field of process modeling. The prototype was developed through the Delphi interface in order to apply the model to support the implementation of business management programs. As results, from a formal documentation, the model proved to be a useful mechanism in the understanding of the processes raised and appropriate in the support to the implantation of production management tools.

In contemporary Project Management literature and practice, it is possible to distinguish two paradigms: the algorithmic-rational paradigm and the relational paradigm. The algorithmic-rational paradigm is characterized by a sequence of programming methodologies that constitute the classic corpus of knowledge on Project Management (WBS, CPM, PERT, Gantt diagrams). Following the diffusion of Agile methods, dissatisfaction with the algorithmic-rational paradigm has spread and a Visual Planning approach, based on the decentralization of planning and control and the abandonment of algorithmic techniques (such as CPM and Gantt diagrams) in favour of simpler, visual and physical tools, has become increasingly established. Visual Planning is the concrete manifestation of a relational project management paradigm. In this work, through an analysis of the key practices characterizing Visual Planning, we have identified the five fundamental principles that define this approach to project management. Then, to structure and guide the choice of a software application that can support Visual Planning, we have (1) identified several features which allow distinguishing one software from another, and (2) created a correlation matrix between the core principles of Visual Planning and the software features. Through this matrix, it is possible to evaluate and measure the adherence of project management software applications to the logic and practices of physical Visual Planning.

The article analyzes the revenues of the consolidated budget of Ukraine and determines that budget revenues are growing, mainly due to taxes and fees. The normative definition of the terms «tax» and «collection» is revealed and the main characteristic features are outlined. A critical assessment of the essence of the characterized definitions was made and the inconsistency of the terminological apparatus was determined. It was found that the definitions take into account the principle of mandatory payment of tax or fee paid by a particular payer to a specific account of the allocation budget. The main criteria for distinguishing between direct and indirect taxes are highlighted: method of translation: direct – one participant in the calculation and payment, indirect – several participants; object of taxation: direct – from income, profit, property and resources, indirect – from the value of consumption or use of goods; subject of payment: direct is paid by the taxpayer – the manufacturer or seller, the owner of the goods, indirect – by the subject of the tax burden (the buyer who incurs costs). Taking into account the research of scientists and their own opinion, it is proposed to substantiate at the legislative level the terminology of definitions of direct and indirect taxes, as well as to outline a clear classification list. It is proved that accounting influences management decisions, as the received accounting information certifies the data on the activity of the enterprise and gives the chance to carry out further planning and control. It is determined that the purpose of accounting in taxation is to form a reliable and legally justified size of the tax base and determine the amounts of tax liabilities from taxes and fees for generalization in tax reporting for individual taxes. The accounting process of calculations for taxes and fees of business entities is outlined. It is proposed to separate the objects of taxation in the accounting policy of enterprises.

The Object of the Study. The correlation of class and stratification approaches in Soviet and post-Soviet sociology.The Subject of the Study. New working class in Russian sociological discourse.The Purpose of the Study. The objectives are to substantiate the necessity of actualizing of the class approach in the study of modern Russian society social structure; identifying the signs of a new working class.The Main Provisions of the Article. In accordance with Marxist ideology, in Soviet sociology a working class was regarded as a protagonist of social change and a center of attraction for the forces of social change. The contemporary integration of workers into the capitalist system, the transition to the economy of the sixth order, the defeat of socialism, the global transition to a postindustrial society require to comprehend the «working question» from a new prospective. The authors actualize the problem of revealing the content and structure of the «new working class», traditional and actual methods of its theoretical conceptualization. The features of class and stratification approaches to the allocation of the working class in the structure of society have been studied. It has been shown that the excessive specification of criteria, non-critical declarative positioning of the middle class into the basis of the Russian society structure, led to a high degree of uncertainty in the model of the social structure of the Russian society of the early XXI century. The author's definition of the concept of a new working class has been given. Defining “the new working class of modern Russia”, we mean a group of employees in all spheres of material production and services whose content and nature of work are routinized and segmented; not participating in management and not having the property rights to the enterprise in which they work. Most of the times, these are workers without higher education. Power and control in the organization do not belong to them, their degree of freedom and authority in organizational structures are limited, they do not influence on the planning and control of labor

Lot-sizing has an increased attention in recent years. In the area of production planning and control, this trend has given rise to the development of lot-sizing models that considers sustainability issues besides the optimization of total operational cost. The study is based on tertiary study that is ensured to analyze the total work have been published. The research was conducted by the definition of appropriate keywords for understanding sustainability issues and ergonomics as a social component in lot-sizing. The paper at hand attempts to understand the development of sustainability issues in lot-sizing and ergonomics as a social component in lot-sizing. We observe that studies focusing on all three dimensions of sustainability are comparatively scarce. However, only a few of the studies have been covered the social sustainability aspect. It is observed that studies addressing ergonomics issues are scarce, and more focus is required on the social sustainability impacts along the supply chain and lot-sizing. Most of ergonomic assessment covered relaxation allowance and energy expenditure rate, OWAS, NIOSH and another consideration about ergonomic lot-sizing is the motion types investigated by authors which were picking, storing as a lifting and carrying motions and did not covered pushing, pulling, bending and other hand motions which have positive relationship with work related musculoskeletal disorders. Finally, we propose future directions to extend research on the ergonomics in lot-sizing.
