Objectives: Implementing public health measures is necessary to decrease sugars intake, which is associated with increased risk of noncommunicable diseases. Our scoping review aimed to identify the types of measures implemented and evaluated to decrease sugars intake in the population and to assess their impact.Methods: Following a review of systematic reviews (SRs) published in 2018, we systematically searched new SR (May 2017–October 2020) in electronic databases. We also searched the measures implemented in Europe in the NOURISHING database. Two researchers selected the reviews, extracted and analysed the data.Results: We included 15 SRs assessing economic tools (n = 5), product reformulation and labels/claims (n = 5), and educational/environmental interventions (n = 7). Economic tools, product reformulation and environmental measures were effective to reduce sugar intake or weight outcomes, while labels, education and interventions combining educational and environmental measures found mixed effects. The most frequently implemented measures in Europe were public awareness, nutritional education, and labels.Conclusion: Among measures to reduce sugar intake in the population, economic tools, product reformulation, and environmental interventions were the most effective, but not the more frequently implemented in Europe.

The article discusses management tools that allow an enterprise to pursue an innovative path of development. In the context of innovative changes, when public and private interests are closely interconnected, all companies that care about the level of business reputation have decided to participate in one way or another in the new paradigm of forming and developing a successful business. In our opinion, it is based on human resource management from the point of view of the near-term prospects of becoming the main competitive factor of growth, as well as solving, to a greater or lesser extent, global problems in the field of sustainable development. Today every organization operates in an economic space where moral foundations, principles and culture are constantly evolving. Therefore, entrepreneurs and managers must build relationships with their subordinates, competitors and partners based on improved motivational strategy, ethics and social responsibility. This approach presupposes management consulting, mentoring and training, which makes it possible to realize the ambitions of professional and personal development of each employee in the context of the implementation of the enterprise development strategy.

By methods of analysis and synthesis the article studies the problem of developing closed cycle economy in the field of hard communal waste treatment (HCW). Dynamics of waste making up was analyzed and its physical and mechanic properties and chemical composition were provided. The article gives economic tools, functions and classification of these tools that are necessary to organize the process approach to management. The authors put forward a promising scheme of treating HCW built on the basis of European experience and worked out the acute functional-structural scheme of the treatment system by the HCW complex, which demonstrates key business processes and tools of management. Such complex approach to describing the system of HCW treatment can simplify digital modeling of multi-variant business processes, such as burial of waste at waste-grounds, utilization at waste-burning plants, sorting and recycling at waste-recycling enterprises. Digital modeling with successful automated functional and cost analysis can give an opportunity to decrease uncertainty in the field of economic efficiency of managerial decision-making for rational HCW treatment and development of closed cycle economy in this sphere. A correct choice of approaches to the development of closed cycle economy in the field of HCW treatment can reduce the load on nature and support health of people.

This chapter shows how the Korean War meaningfully altered the course of the United States’ early Cold War grand strategy: in 1950, amidst the burgeoning superpower rivalry, the United States had embraced a version of containment that relied primarily on political and economic tools, enabling the United States to continue unwinding its wartime posture through demobilization, limited national security spending, and reliance on a small nuclear arsenal to deter attacks on its core interests in Western Europe and Japan. The Korean War called each of these premises into question, recasting American assessments of the Cold War balance of power, as well as the requirements for deterrence and defense of overseas commitments. By the mid-1950s, the United States had massively and durably increased its military power; expanded its overseas commitments to include security guarantees to the North American Trade Organization (NATO), South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan; and accepted the necessity of forward deployment as well as a large nuclear arsenal to maintain this extended deterrent.

This study determines the voltage across insulators after a direct lightning strike to an overhead ground wire on a 24 kV pole structure for different grounding distances of overhead ground wire, to calculate the maximum ground resistance required to avoid disruption of the distribution line system using ATP-EMTP software. The results show that when a 40 kA lightning current, the average lightning current in Thailand, strikes a 24 kV pole structure, the maximum ground resistance should not exceed 4 Ω for a 40 m grounding distance of overhead ground wire, based on an existing critical insulator flashover of 205 kV. However, because the average ground resistance in Thailand is approximately 10 Ω, this study proposes increasing the insulation level from 205 kV to 300 kV to reduce the likelihood of power outage. The cost-effectiveness of such an investment is assessed in terms of net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), profitability index (PI), and discounted payback period (DPP) using existing economic tools. Results show that when the critical insulator flashover is increased from 205 kV to 300 kV for a 40 m grounding distance of overhead ground wire, the project is likely to have a DPP of 15.12 years, NPV of 143,321.87 USD, IRR of 12%, and PI of 1.15. On the other hand, grounding distances greater than 40 m for overhead ground wire result in negative NPV, although the back flashover rate can be reduced by 1.51–5.71% with grounding distances of 80–200 m compared to the situation in the absence of grounding.

This analysis offers a historical assessment of “economic statecraft” in Beijing's approach to Hong Kong from 1997 to 2020. It discusses how the concept of “economic statecraft” can be applied to Beijing–Hong Kong relations given the nature of the “one country, two systems” framework, and looks at some differing perceptions about economic statecraft in Hong Kong. It argues that, during this period, economic tools were in general used by Beijing relatively sparingly, and in the form of inducements rather than coercion. In conclusion, the analysis suggests that the contested interpretations of Beijing–Hong Kong economic relations demonstrate that “economic statecraft” is to a certain extent in the eye of the beholder.

Under market conditions, the main feature of enterprises is the focus on consumer demand, the desire for innovation, the implementation of appropriate scientific and technical innovation policy. Flexibility in management, the ability to restructure quickly without losing new opportunities can be more important than just cost savings. The high degree of uncertainty, which is characteristic of modern conditions of economic development, requires the use of flexible planning tools that allow you to quickly take into account changes in supply and demand, requirements for product quality, prices, etc. In the conditions of competition between producers and the need to improve their economic performance and, above all, profit, employees must have economic tools that would allow them to consider different options for prices, costs, scale of production, changes in the structure of its range and to monitor the consequences of these changes in the economy of the enterprise. One such tool is targeted planning of prices, costs and profits. It is believed that the methodology of target pricing and calculation of target costs was developed in Japan and it is based on a given level of price and profit. The difference between the target price and the target profit is the target cost. But this technology does not work in terms of multi-item production. The problem of the need for flexible management of costs, profits and prices in market conditions is outlining. On the basis of theoretical and empirical researches the critical analysis of foreign scientists’ points of view to the problem of “target profit” planning and “target prime cost” is given. As authors believe the latter are possible only for single-product manufacturing companies. It is suggested to form a flexible system of targeted planning suitable for multi-product companies on the basis of the fixed costs’ distribution in proportion to the marginal profit.

One of the main tasks of the environmental industry is innovation, which is now the key to technological progress. Technological and organizational-economic tools, especially in terms of nature management, environmental assessment and entrepreneurship, are aimed primarily at implementing effective, efficient measures aimed at overcoming the deep environmental crisis and ensuring conditions for sustainable development of the state. Technological and organizational-economic mechanisms of greening is a set of organizational forms and economic levers, the interaction of which allows to ensure the implementation of a recurring process aimed at improving the economic and environmental efficiency of social production and stimulating environmental measures. Green (eco-) entrepreneurship is an alternative vision of growth and development. It is necessary to rethink the theoretical approaches and clearly clarify the essence of the organizational and economic mechanism of sustainability of eco-enterprises for its effective formation and implementation of further research in this area. These breakthroughs are expected to lead to significant transformational changes in the functioning of society. These achievements promise significant social and economic benefits, increased efficiency and increased productivity in many areas. Innovations, including technological and organizational-economic tools focused on the collection, processing and analysis of vast arrays of information science data, will have implications for countless areas of research and development. An innovative methodological approach to the definition and justification of priority management technological and organizational and economic decisions for MAI, allows to involve experts in environmental, urban, social, economic direction of municipal authorities of a particular settlement, industrial, residential and military facilities, to justify management decisions environmental safety of settlements, etc. The advantages of the methodological approach include - the ability to link to a single algorithm to justify the solution of data that differ in content (ecological, biological in higher aquatic plants, urban, social and economic) and in the form of presentation (data of direct measurements, statistical and forecast estimates) to develop a single proposal for the application of modern management in practice.
