Purpose. To analyze the current state of political modernization in modern Turkey and its impact on the main political institutions. Methods. To achieve this goal, the author uses a combination of political science methods, both systemic and institutional, also referring to the description of the functional significance of political institutions, especially political parties and the party system. The article describes the history of the issue, which reveals the project nature of political modernization. The main qualitative changes that have occurred in the political system, as well as changes in the constitutional foundations of public administration, are analyzed. Results. In the course of the work, a number of intermediate conclusions are made. First, about changing the ideological grounds of modern Turkey’s existence and the planned "soft" rejection of the Kemalist heritage. The current leadership of the Republic is represented by the Party of Justice and Development, which articulates the agenda of moderate Islamism, and is focused on refusing to build a secular state, using religion as an element of legitimizing the regime and strengthening foreign policy influence. The basis for their ideology is a reinterpretation of the historical experience of the Ottoman Empire. The importance of accompanying changes in the form of government and the functional role of the main actors in the political system are also emphasized, in particular, changes in the role and political status of the military. Two constitutional referenda were held in the country, which became possible as part of the country's Europeanization policy, but in the end they had different consequences for the political system. Scientific novelty involves systematic consideration of the issue with the emphasis on the analysis of the changing functional role of the main political actors and institutions. The paper provides a forecast of future vectors of political modernization based on syncretic approaches of the Western and national analysts.

Purpose: to identify the specifics of information risks in the municipal management system. Methods/methodology: the study was carried out on the basis of a functional approach, which is the most adequate means of revealing the essence of management and self-government processes that are the most characteristic feature of social systems at various levels. Scientific novelty consists in defining political information not only as a phenomenon circulating at the regional and higher levels of society, but also at the municipal level as one of the most important in the socio-political hierarchy. Results: the dependence of the image of the municipal government on the quality of management decisions is determined by the adequacy of the quality assessment of incoming information. The identified mechanisms and regularities of information processes based on the conducted research make it possible to address the issue of possible risks in the field of municipal management, both in theoretical and practical terms. This article will be useful for managers and experts of municipal authorities, theorists and practitioners of municipal service. This article deals with the problems of information support of the municipal management system in Russia. The municipal level of government is the closest to the population: this is where all political initiatives of citizens are implemented at the first stage. This is why the municipal level is so exposed to risks in the area of information distribution. The article analyzes the specifics of information risks in the municipal management system. Information is presented at the "entrance" to the political system and at the “exit” in the form of management decisions. It is concluded that the quality of incoming information depends on the quality of management decisions that have a significant impact on the lives of citizens. Moreover, it is concluded that with the help of internal and external information flows, the image of the municipal government is formed, which is penetrated into the mass consciousness through certain channels of mass media. At the same time, the image of the municipal government is influenced not only by municipal political events, but also by regional and national ones, which is especially noticeable during the implementation of anti-Russian economic sanctions. The article identifies and justifies the need to combine domestic experience and modern conditions in this field. On the basis of the conducted research, it is proposed to solve the issue of possible risks in the sphere of municipal management, both in theoretical and practical terms. Only in this sphere, it is possible to find effective mechanisms for insuring the political system against possible shocks.

The article discusses and analyzes legislative acts that provide methodological support for assessing environmental impacts in Russia and the world. On the basis of comparative analysis, the stages of development of legislative support for environmental impact assessment in Russia and in the world are revealed. The stages of legislation development of development in terms of the effectiveness of these legal acts of environmental protection functions are highlighted. The chronology of legislative changes in the Russian and foreign practice of lawmaking by the selected stages is compared. The assessment of environmental impacts is considered from the point of view of the possibility of justifying environmentally oriented solutions. At the same time, it should be noted that the current Russian legislative characteristic, in contrast to foreign legislative practice, does not require an economic assessment of the consequences that is, ensuring a balance of environmental and economic target criteria for rights. The author's interpretation of the environmental impact assessment, which requires reflection in the perspective of sustainable development of the Russian society in the Russian legislation for its greater greening, is formulated. Recent changes in the approach to financing and ordering an impact assessment in the world and Russia, which have different dynamics, are reflected in many countries of the world, and in particular in the United States, the center of regulation and source of funding for environmental impact assessment is the state, while in Russia today large business corporations. The current problematic situation in the Russian legislation is reflected the lack of proper regulation of documentation and financing of environmental impact assessment and a variant of changes to the legislation based on foreign experience is proposed.

Purpose. The purpose of the research is to systematize the main philosophical approaches to strategic concepts of preserving and strengthening peace on the planet. To achieve this purpose, the results of theoretical studies of war and peace undertaken by national and foreign scientists are summarized. Methods. When writing the study, methods of social-philosophical, historical-logical and political analysis were applied, as well as a comparative approach. Results. The article proposes six basic principles that can become the basis of the political philosophy of the new international legal reality: 1) developing the foundations of a holistic world order for building universal peace and strengthening individual and social security; 2) protecting people and their basic rights, including meeting basic vital needs; 3) observing the principle of reciprocity in interpersonal communication of people and in international legal relations; 4) the principle of justice in interpersonal and international relations, which in itself does not mean equality of results, but implies reasonable equality of opportunities; 5) the rule of law in international relations, as well as in underdeveloped national communities; 6) strengthening of democratic governance in countries that recognize democracy as a phenomenon of Western European civilization. Scientific novelty. The modern world community needs a strategy to overcome the existential fears of people and societies about their own security. This strategy should be based on the goal of ensuring human security, strengthening reciprocity in international relations and institutions, ensuring greater political and economic justice, and strengthening international law and humanistic values and institutions. Such a strategy could help create a more inclusive human identity and create a system of governance that can ensure the maintenance of peace through the promotion of justice and human rights, economic well-being and environmental security for all.

Modern youth is characterized by a high degree of diversity and increasing mobility, which is reflected, among other things, in the multiplicity and fluidity of collective youth actors who declare their interests, rights and needs. Communities and solidarity arise and soon disintegrate, and specific practices associated with them are reproduced in new contexts. The “scattered” politicization of youth is also felt in the expansion of the repertoire of its socio-political activities, which can be implemented today not only in the hierarchy of official public institutions, but also in the horizontal plane of autonomous “grassroots” initiatives on the principle of D.I.Y. (Do it yourself), which creates the problem of describing and systematizing these phenomena. The purpose of the presented work is to offer tools for describing modern phenomena of youth politicization: to give an idea of the concept of the format of politicization, to characterize the features of more traditional (institutional) and modern (self-organizing) versions of it. The research is based on the principles of social topology, social heterology, and some post-operatic positions. The work is theoretical in nature and is based on the analysis, generalization and systematization of the theoretical positions, however, presented assumptions of the study and the findings associated with analysis of an essay on the political identity of youth (n=21), with the results of the interviews with young people aged from 12 to 33 in 2017 (n=17) and from 14 to 30 in 2019 (n=10), as well as an analysis of the activities and statements of the youth in social networks. The text reveals the concepts of the format of politicization, presents the features of modern political institutions and formats that they offer, and justifies the methodology of D.I.Y. as a theoretical framework for the study of non-institutional formats of politicization.

The problem of protection from natural disasters in the context of increasing frequency of abnormal weather events caused by global and regional climate changes is one of the most important tasks of ensuring life safety and sustainable economic development. The intensity of dangerous hydrometeorological events has increased significantly in recent years. Climate change leads to an increase in adverse natural phenomena. To date, environmental problems in the Russian Federation have reached such a critical point that the assessment of the state of the natural environment must be interpreted as a threat to national security. The current situation requires improvement of existing instruments and mechanisms of state control and supervision in the field of Hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the activities of the Department of the Federal Service in Hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring in the Ural Federal district in implementing state control and supervision in the studied area and to develop practical recommendations for its improvement. The research methodology is based on the use of system and activity approaches. Research methods are represented by analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, as well as such private scientific methods as the statistical method, the method of analyzing documents. The empirical basis of the study was the statistical data of the Federal service for Hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring. As a result of the study, the key problems of implementation of control and supervision activities in the studied area were identified and a number of recommendations for their solution were proposed. Using the outcomes of the conducted research, the necessity and prospects of using specific methods and special approaches to the application of modern strategic planning tools in the field of control and supervision in hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring, which contribute to achieving a qualitatively different level, expanding the boundaries of applicability and significantly improving the results of executive powers, are proved.

Since 2016, Russia has been implementing labor market reform. Quite strict and reasonable requirements are formulated for employees in all areas of economic activity. Changes in labor legislation are based on the unity of requirements for specialists, based on the introduction of professional standards. In the sphere of state functions and services, there are strict regulations, but there are no requirements for the level of professional training and qualification of those who implement them. A way out of this situation may be the transfer of Federal regulations regarding the application of professional standards in relation to public executives. The article substantiates the need to develop and apply requirements for the level of professionalism and performance of public executives, enshrined in the relevant standard. Such a complex process as the development of a professional standard can be considered through various methodological bases that could be used as the grounds for their development: functional, project and competence approaches. The authors tend to prefer the use of a competence-based approach, which is the foundation for the development of other professional standards in the Russian Federation. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that the development of a professional standard for public executives is an important step that increases the effectiveness of not only training programs for professionals, but also the labor potential of public executives.

The purpose of this article is to analyze and identify the basic problems of Public Сhamber development in a municipality (by the example of an “average” city). When writing the work, the author used the following methods: the formal legal method became the basis for studying and analyzing the legal framework governing the creation of these public institutions. In the course of the study, the methods of questionnaires, statistical analysis, and system analysis were used. Results: the author conducted a comprehensive analysis of questioning the residents of Krasnoturinsk. The results of the sociological research helped to answer the questions about how mutual understanding of local authorities and the population is developing today by the example of the city district of Krasnoturinsk, and what hinders its successful implementation. The readiness of the population to participate in the life of the municipality was assessed. Contradictions in the course of the Public Chamber development were revealed, as a result of not being recognized by the population of this body. Methods for identifying the leaders of urban changes in the territory of a single-industry city are outlined. The scientific novelty of this work is that a sociological study of the institutional functions of the Public chamber was conducted on the municipal territory. The problems of its development are revealed. Their analysis will allow to correct the work on identifying the leaders of urban changes. Based on the experience of the social and educational program of the Foundation “The center for social programs” of the RUSAL company, an additional method for identifying leaders of urban changes and his subsequent activity in the Public Chamber was identified and proposed.

One of the obvious trends in the development of local self-government is the change in its territorial foundations due to the ongoing trends of increasing urbanization and depopulation of rural areas of the regions, the lack of financial resources of municipalities to address local issues, and the large-scale delegation of authorities in rural settlements to a higher level. This is due to the administrative-territorial transformation or transformation of municipalities (association, division, change of status). The article proposes an algorithm for transforming municipalities, which, in addition to the legally established procedures, includes a set of preliminary work to assess the feasibility of transformation according to the selected criteria of economic, financial and social consequences of the transformation, carried out by a project group with relevant competencies. At the same time, administrative forms of transformation of municipalities are not the only way to solve the problems of ensuring their financial viability and autonomy. The article also discusses the types of economic transformation in which the territorial foundations of local self-government do not change, but new or changing current economic superstructures over municipalities appear or inter-municipal relations are formed. The inclusion of a municipality in a program sub-region, agglomeration, territorial development zone, territories of advanced socio-economic development, as well as the development of territorial public self-government and the organization of inter-municipal cooperation allow consolidating the efforts of municipalities and attracting additional resources to address issues of local importance in conditions of limited financial resources and a high degree of subsidization of municipalities.

Problem. As of today, project financing in Russia is not widespread enough. This is due to the low share of bank loans in the investment structure. However, it is necessary to talk about project financing. The classic scheme of such application is project financing in individual cases, but we should not forget that this scheme is characterized by an investment project. In accordance with this, the project is financed according to the project. Loans are repaid at the expense of the profit received during the implementation and delivery of the finished investment project. However, it is quite difficult to determine the volume of the Russian market for investment projects, since the project itself is associated with attracting foreign investment. The lack of development of the project finance system is due to the fact that different financial instruments are used separately from each other when implementing the project. In particular, this is due to the lack of quality consulting services for the transaction. Scientific problem. The analysis of the study is based on the study of project financing features in terms of the impact of macroeconomic and microeconomic factors in the context of unstable development of the economic and investment sector. Methodological base of the study. The study uses statistical methods of estimation, economic analysis, and meta-comparison of the dynamics of changes in the main indicators. The article provides a justification for project financing of capital-intensive projects in Russia and the need for their distribution financing. The possibilities of the state in applying distributive financing at the stage of development and implementation of new and existing investment projects are investigated. The mechanism of distributive financing of investment projects is presented Database of the research: scientific proceedings, monographs, articles, Internet resources. In his research V. N. [3] proposed a structural scheme of the project financing in Russia, which contains the main actors and elements of project financing. Minayeva E. V. [6] defines project financing as peculiarity of the financial distribution in the framework of project implementation and says in this case the risks are more transferred to the lender. Main results of the study. Medium and large businesses have difficulty finding the resources needed to capitalize on their own business. Borrowing through bank loans is about 10-12%. Public investments remain ineffective because the mechanism for organizing and implementing investment projects involves inappropriate use of incoming budget investments. The imperfection of the legislative system and the high level of financial risks in Russia creates a certain barrier for foreign investors. In accordance with this, foreign investments can be considered as investments that are speculative in nature. These problems create “negative conditions” for financing the country's economy. Implementation of large investment projects is impossible without attracting third-party investment. In accordance with this, the development of a mechanism for distributing financial flows for project financing in Russia will increase the economic growth of domestic enterprises and ensure the inflow of additional investments into the country's economy.

Purpose. Using the analysis of labor productivity in the Russian oil industry, to justify the debatable issue of excluding the commodity sector from the National project “Labor productivity and employment support”. Methods. In the process of research, the authors used general and special methods of scientific knowledge: abstract-logical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, system and structural analysis, combination of logical and historical, functioning and development, induction and deduction, statistical and economic-mathematical methods. Taken together, these research methods made it possible to ensure the reliability of the analysis and the validity of the results and conclusions. Results and practical significance. The analysis of labor productivity of Russian oil companies can serve as an information base for possible further adjustments of the national project “Labor productivity and employment support”. Individual results of the study can serve as a basis for the development of preventive programs to improve productivity in the oil sector at the level of companies and the industry as a whole. Scientific novelty. The main problems of the implementation of the National project “Labor productivity and employment support” are identified. Among the problem areas highlighted in the involvement of medium and large enterprises in the implementation of the program, funding the national project; an industry participation of the project. The article assesses the level of labor productivity in the Russian oil industry and identifies the factors that determine it.

The article is devoted to topical issues of economic entities competitiveness in hard conditions of the knowledge-based economy. Attention is focused on the fact that economic development studies highlight the modern stage in which knowledge becomes one of the main factors of production, and the stage itself is called the “digital”, “creative” or “intangible” economy. Features of this stage of economic development to support a high level of economic entity competitiveness: 1) knowledge is a key asset, 2) use of information technologies, 3) development of creative abilities of employees, 4) strategic interaction with other economic entities to rapid creation of new knowledge. The author suggests the following priorities for developing the competitiveness of economic entities in the knowledge economy: productivity, innovation, adaptability, reputation and globality. Business entities are recommended to form knowledge management systems that will allow them to successfully develop their competitiveness in these priority areas. The knowledge management system, in the author's opinion, shall affect the priority directions for the development of the economic entity competitiveness as follows: performance by improving communications between employees, preventing the loss of corporate knowledge, continuity of personnel training process thus reducing rework and scrap; and innovation implementation of full lifecycle of knowledge from the idea to its realization in innovative product; adaptability by reducing the duration of the innovation cycle as a result of the use of knowledge management methods; reputation by increasing brand awareness; globality as a result of the ability to exchange knowledge with foreign partners and joint conduct of knowledge-intensive projects.

Purpose. Study of the concept of innovative agro-industrial cluster, analysis of its external and internal environment, its elements. Study of the role of the research sector in the development of agro-business, new agro-knowledge and technologies. Methods. Systematization and generalization of conceptual approaches to assessing the role of clusters in the formation of territorial production complexes are carried out; the Concept of 4C is defined: in this connection, the cluster can be considered as a set of 4C: 1) concentration; 2) competition; 3) cooperation; 4) competitiveness. Results. Based on scientifically substantiated approaches and expert assessments, as well as their own conclusions, the necessity of Russia's transition to an innovative way of development is shown. It sets an ambitious task for agriculture to move from “technological degradation” to an innovative method of production. It is the technological and technical backwardness of the country's agro-industrial complex that determines the problem of ensuring its food security. In the new realities, it is possible to ensure an innovative way of agricultural development at the regional and national level only through interregional cooperation, regional specialization and cooperation, and the search for competitive advantages of agricultural enterprises in the regions of the Federation. A new form of spatial organization of production, which has proved itself in developed countries, should become an impetus for the socio-economic development of regions based on new centers of generating competitiveness. In the modern scientific literature, the Institute of cluster production and territorial development is considered particularly promising in terms of increasing the degree of economic stability of Russian regions. One of the main tasks in the formation of agro industrial clusters in the innovation economy is to organize the interaction of a significant number of organizations, including those representing all sectors of science and applied development. New leading agro-industrial cluster needs to have a powerful research sector, including universities (1), public research organization (2), small knowledge-intensive firms (3), big business (4), public authorities (5), financial institutions (6), social agencies (7) etc. This network of organizations, which is based on the principles of socio-economic, innovation and scientific cooperation, will give greater stability in the system of knowledge generation and processes and their diffusion. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that it developed the ideas about the main directions and tasks of modern cluster policy as the main tool for the modernization of agro-industrial complexes of the subjects of the Russian Federation.

Corporate income tax is a direct tax and an important element of the tax system of the Russian Federation, and is a budget-forming tax. Studies conducted in the field of tax accounting indicate a problem such as the lack of a clear concept of the organization of tax accounting. The basis for forming the tax base for income tax in the accounting system is to identify similarities and differences between accounting and tax treatment of income and expenses. In this regard, the paper provides a systematic analysis of Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation in comparison with the standards of accounting legislation, identifying the main criteria for discrepancies in the rules of accounting and tax treatment of income and expenses. The authors analyze the existing patterns of accounting and tax treatment, give their characteristics, and highlight the advantages and disadvantages. The proposed method of calculating income tax in the form of an algorithm, a pattern with the order of data comparison of accounting and tax treatment will allow you to systematize the approach in determining the common bases and methodological organizations, and the implementation of tax treatment in the enterprise. Using the proposed method of calculating income tax, algorithms and patterns for comparing income and expenses, accounting and tax accounting, you can more accurately adjust the financial result, and calculate the amount of income tax payable to the budget. The practical result of the proposed study is to use the proposed methodology in the activities of enterprises, organizations and institutions in order to optimize accounting and tax treatment.

The article considers the labor market in the segment of remote (long-distance) employment based on the content analysis of vacancies and resumes of remote (long-distance) employment of one of the largest work portal HH.ru The purpose of the work is to reveal the features of the gender industry structure of employment, to identify typical "female" and "male" professions based on the results of the research of the resume Bank on the example of the city of Ekaterinburg. The article also provides a comparative analysis of the demand and supply of remote work in the labor market, the results of the analysis of information allow us to conclude that there is interest in remote employment on the part of both employers and applicants, but the level of demand exceeds the level of supply of this form of activity. The paper presents a comparison of vacancies and resumes of a remote segment of the labor market. The analysis of the professional structure of the resume of the remote segment of work helped to identify the predominant areas of activity in this segment of employment during the entire period under review. According to the results of the study, typical “female” and “male” professions were identified in the segment of remote (long-distance) work, and the ranking of their list is also presented. The practical significance of this study is to identify features of gender sectoral characteristics of the remote (long-distance) employment which will allow to adapt the state controls segment of remote employment and problem-solving practices, the results can be used to develop programs for the regulation of remote (long-distance) female employment and it will lead to further development and dissemination of long-distance activity.

Food security of the region is an important component in ensuring the country's food security as a whole and one of the main directions of ensuring Russia's national security, including the factor of preserving its sovereignty and statehood, a necessary condition for the implementation of its main goal-strategic development, which is to increase the welfare of the population and improve living standards of the Russian people. The main goal of food security in the region is to provide the population with safe agricultural, fishing and food products. The article deals with the issues of food security in the Perm region, including the problems of self-sufficiency of the region with agricultural goods and possible solutions. Based on data from regional executive authorities and territorial bodies of the Federal Statistics Service, the analysis of the current state of organizations in the agro-industrial complex of the Perm region was carried out, and negative factors that hinder the dynamic development of the agricultural sector were identified. The current situation leads to the loss of a sufficiently large segment of the regional food market by local agricultural producers, which is occupied by agricultural products from other territories. Special attention is paid to the development of the farm sector that showed an intensive growth of 3.3 % in the study period, which is explained by the state support provided in recent years. The study highlights a list of the main products of the agricultural sector of the Perm region, shows the dynamics of production of these types of products, as well as the scope of their implementation in domestic and foreign markets. In order to implement the food security doctrine, measures to increase the competitiveness of agricultural organizations in the region are proposed.

N this article, the author reveals the theoretical and methodological features of modelling the space of the territorial heritage of an industrial region. To do this, he made a brief historical digression in the context of the evolution of scientific views and opinions of famous scientists about the presence of hereditary memory in the territory and its influence on the state of the economy. It was found out that economic genetics is a developing science with an unsettled categorical apparatus. This fact determined the purpose of the study to identify the structure and model the code space of the territorial heritage of the industrial region. As the main morphological elements of the heritage space, the author identified the “determinative” codes of the region and justified their methodological features. The article also reveals the essence of the industrial, social and institutional codes of the industrial territory and proves that they form its genetic core, which is responsible for information recording in the regional memory. To model the code space of the territorial heritage, the author developed a methodological tool and tested it on the example of the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions. As a result, it was found that the models of the code space of the territorial heritage of the studied industrial regions have a certain similarity in their morphological manifestation. They contribute to the further development of manufacturing industries, primarily in the metallurgical industry, while the innovative trend of economic growth in the region is not a priority. The general conclusion that was made by the author concerns the identification of the typicality of the heritage space model of the industrial territories in the Urals.

In economics, a person's disposal of the money available is described by rational strategies for distributing income between different types of expenses. The research is based on strategies used by the Russian population to generate income and savings. These strategies are not always rational; they increase the risk of loss of financial resources, as well as the emergence of threats to economic security, and the criminalization of economic relations. The article discusses theoretical foundations and empirical characteristics of strategies for generating income from the available funds of the consumer. It is shown that consumer’s behavior in economics is described in terms of rationality and subjectivity. The strategy of obtaining additional income is determined by the rational desire of the consumer to maximize profits and reduce the risks of losses. Subjective preferences influence the choice of a particular strategy. An empirical study of consumer’s behavior has shown that the rationality of income can be predicted by the savings strategy and the level of financial literacy of the consumer. Rational behavior is characterized by active investment in securities, foreign currency, coupled with the choice of cost-effective behavior model. Irrational behavior is spending money without seeking to extract income from the available money supply, or investing in financial products with a low interest rate, or without taking into account possible risks. The consumer's financial literacy statistically influences the choice of the accumulation strategy. High and medium levels of financial literacy are associated with investment strategies for accumulation, while low levels are associated with additional employment. The results of the study show the prospects for correcting risks when implementing strategies for obtaining additional income for the population by increasing financial literacy.

The relevance of the topic is due to the need for media companies to develop modern tools to attract new consumers and increase the loyalty of existing ones. The formation of the customer's needs and their satisfaction, through the prism of IT technologies, allows not only to control the consumption process, but also to manage it. The introduction of modern technologies in the life of society contributes to the competent planning of the company's product portfolio as one of the components of the marketing complex. Currently, there is a technology that will help solve the issue of obtaining information for the future strategic planning of the company the Internet of things (IoT). The main feature of this technology is that there is no need for a person to plan his own goals. An active user of IoT technology focuses only on the task, and devices connected to each other solve it. This way of automating tasks, through the interaction of “smart” devices with each other, will allow you to plan competently your own time and focus on what is important. However, there is a question about the confidentiality of such information. Due to the high level of integration of devices in human life, our devices such as smartphone, TV, car, laptop, and so on get a huge array of both general and personal information. The end user of data collected using various devices is a representative of a particular company. That is why the presence of the human factor here not only reduces the level of customer loyalty, but also jeopardizes the success of the company's business strategy as a whole. This article discusses the ways of forming consumer loyalty to the company's main product, as well as the principles of IoT technology.

In this article, the authors analyzed the possibility of improving labor efficiency in enterprises by introducing personnel appraisal. The algorithm of personnel appraisal at the company “Bashkir copper”” is formulated. The problem of the lack of correlation between the knowledge, skills and abilities indicated by applicants in the resume and their professional and labor potential is stated. The role of tests in the process of selecting the necessary candidates for positions is defined. The results of the survey of the personnel of LLC "Bashkir copper" are presented, upon which the authors specified the problematic field and made conclusions about the prospects and socio-economic effect of the introduction of personnel appraisal for the enterprise of LLC “Bashkir copper”. Purpose. The study allows developing measures aimed at improving the labor potential by the example of LLC “Bashkir copper”. Methods. In the course of the research, general scientific methods were used: analytical method, observation, questionnaire survey, economic and statistical methods, methods of processing the obtained data, etc. Results and practical significance. A survey of employees was conducted and directions for improving the efficiency of using the labor potential of LLC “Bashkir copper” were proposed. The practical significance is in the fact that the results of the study can be applied practically in personnel management in the manufacturing industry. Scientific novelty. It is the implemented algorithm of personnel appraisal based on psychometric testing, the purpose of which is to identify problematic factors of the internal environment of the organization that affect the efficiency of the use of labor potential.

The article presents the intermediate results of a monitoring survey of labor relations transformation in the context of social pollution from economic activities of businesses. One of the system-forming factors of social pollution of the internal organizational environment is the presence of both senior and ordinary toxic employees in the personnel, who by their actions or inaction have a negative impact on the well-being of subordinates and/or colleagues, and cause damage to the organization as a whole. The urgency of the problem has led to the need to study the nature of the phenomenon of toxic personnel of the organization, search for methods for identifying and evaluating the toxic potential of employees. The collection of empirical data analyzed in the article was carried out using the author's methodology, which includes a combination of methods of narrative interview and sociological survey. The employees looking for a new job and having applied to a recruitment agency were involved into the study as respondents. Respondents were interviewed as candidates for vacant positions, and were asked to answer, among other things, questions related to negative work experience with toxic managers and/or colleagues in their current/previous workplace. Additionally, at the end of the conversation, respondents were asked to answer a questionnaire. Eighty respondents (42 men and 38 women) participated in the study. The analysis of the results of the empirical study allows the authors to identify gender differences in the perception of toxic managers and colleagues by employees, to determine advantages and disadvantages of the methodological approach proposed by the authors and directions for improving the evaluation tools.

The transition to sustainable project management is becoming a significant global trend in the development of organizations. Russian companies are also beginning to introduce sustainable project management into their practice. However, in most cases this happens at a slow pace, not systematically and with a weak motivation. At the same time, Russia has a positive experience in building a system of sustainable project management of enterprises, which is important to study, draw conclusions from it and develop a consistent policy of transferring project management on the principles of sustainability. This article proposes to discuss the results of our study, the purpose of which was to assess the sustainability of project management in enterprises. To conduct the study, a system of indicators and methods of their diagnosis was developed. The system consists of four groups of indicators: economic, environmental, social and institutional. The methodology is presented by a standardized survey of experts. The study was conducted at 34 enterprises in 10 cities of Russia. Project managers, program and portfolio managers, project management specialists acted as experts. The results of the study are presented in the form of analysis of economic, social, environmental and institutional components of project management sustainability. We also evaluated the integral indicator of the maturity level of project management. It was concluded that the sample population is represented by enterprises with high, medium and low maturity of project management. This allowed us to establish particular indicators of sustainability depending on the maturity level of project management. Also, the motives of enterprises’ appeal to the policy of sustainability are revealed. The general conclusion confirms our hypotheses that among the leading enterprises there are those which implement the strategy of sustainability consciously and those which do it without a strong positive motivation. Enterprises have also confirmed the hypothesis of the importance of state support for sustainable project management practices. The novelty of our research lies in the original methodology, which involves the evaluation of a whole complex of different indicators, as well as the establishment of an integral indicator of the maturity level of project management. The proposed analysis allows us to identify trends in the development of sustainable project management and ways to extend it to enterprises working in the format of projects.

Within the framework of the project, it was emphasized that the management of any business entity is necessarily associated with project management. Corporate co-management is a complex and multi-faceted process. Individual performance of various operations, tasks and processes in an organization is possible only at its initial stage of development. The most important feature of conflict management in the project team is that the conflicts within a certain group of people who are simultaneously in the same project is inevitable, and the management decision is of special significance. Collective functioning of a team is a specific feature of conflict management in the project. In many cases at the time of the project launch, the participants are not familiar with each other, there is no experience from interaction, and they do not have a general idea of the project's goals and methods of functioning within it. These features create prerequisites for the constant occurrence of conflict situations, in this connection, it is extremely important for the manager to understand all ways of dealing with conflicts. The article analyzes the level of conflict, the mechanism of conflict management, and evaluates the impact of conflict on the turnover rate by the example of the East Wind Group of Companies. It is revealed that there is a possibility of developing various conflicts. The conflict management mechanism needs to be improved in terms of recruitment. Based on the identified shortcomings, a conflict management system was developed in the organization of the Eastern Wind Group of Companies. It is proposed to eliminate shortcomings in the team management system at the East Wind Auto Center through a number of activities, including various trainings, psychological monitoring, and hiring a conflict expert.

Purpose. Study of indicators dynamics of dental institutions network in Sverdlovsk region in 2014-2017; availability and quality of dental services; results of the dentistry regulation. Methods. On the basis of comparative and systematic approaches, a specific picture of the availability and quality of dental services in Sverdlovsk region is analyzed. Data base of the study includes data from the annual reports of the Ministry of Health of the region that characterize the dynamics of the work of dental institutions in Sverdlovsk region in 2014-2017. Results. The results revealed the development of a network of stomatology institutions in Sverdlovsk region in 2014-2017; reveals the reasons for the decline in availability of dental services in the region; shortcomings in the functioning of governance structures. Analysis of statistics on visits by patients to dentists in Sverdlovsk region in the period 2014-2017 allowed to draw a conclusion about a sharp reduction in the number of visits: from 2.386 million people a year to 1.008 million by about 2.4 times; including children under 14 years old from 989 thousand to 527 thousand or 1.9 times. This phenomenon clearly shows that reducing social spending encourages the poor to pay less attention to their health. It is pointed out that in order to improve the management and regulation of the dental care quality, a systematic approach and a long-term comprehensive purposeful work on the organization of mandatory and voluntary insurance in the field of dentistry is necessary. Scientific novelty. In the article the authors provided the first comprehensive assessment of the status of the dental clinics network of Sverdlovsk region in 2014-2017, identified the main problems of development and regulation of the dental care system in Sverdlovsk region. The ways of improving the provision of medical dental care are suggested.

Conversion operations (cash and non-cash) are a source of commission income for a commercial bank. Depending on the size and structure, the bank chooses different approaches to the organizational form, implementation mechanisms, and ways of developing this type of business. In addition, banks use different approaches to calculating the financial result of conversion operations. There is no single methodology, although there is a traditional approach, regulated by the Central Bank's regulatory documents, and a modern approach, used mainly in management reporting. In addition, some credit institutions use the result of currency revaluation in their calculations of the financial result from conversion operations, while some do not use it. However, in some banks, revaluation accounts for up to 90 % of operating income and, accordingly, has a significant impact on the Bank's total profit or loss from its operations as a whole. In this regard, the question arises, what criteria will help to evaluate the work of the Bank's divisions responsible for forming the revaluation and its contribution to the final financial result? How can the head of a credit institution evaluate the effectiveness of the relevant departments, if the value of the matter in dispute is so high? First, having studied the regulatory framework governing the procedure for determining the accounting financial result from conversion operations, we identified restrictions that do not allow us to get more accurate and up-to-date information about this indicator. Secondly, all aspects of the formation of the Bank's open currency position, its impact on currency revaluation and ultimately on operating income and the final financial result of the credit institution's activities were studied. Third, a list of criteria was formulated that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of credit institutions in the field of conversion operations. We also analyzed Reports on the financial performance of various branches by size and number, as well as their regional representation of credit organizations. Based on the analysis, the main errors of the relevant departments in controlling and regulating the Bank's open currency position were identified in order to prevent the formation of negative results from currency revaluation, hence, negative operating income and negative final financial result.

The purpose of the study is to determine the mechanisms of interaction of urban communities in the formation of Smart City by assessing the level of development of internal urban subsystems on a territorial basis, taking into account the processes of segregation. The study is based on the analysis of scientific discourse about Smart City, institutional analysis of the legal framework for the development of “smart cities” in the Russian Federation, as well as data from an expert survey of representatives of territorial public self-government committees in Omsk city. Having studied the world experience of building “smart cities”, the author noted the priority importance of the internal environment in the development of the city, which includes social and institutional foundations for generating and implementing innovations. The problems that arise because of the low readiness of urban communities for Smart City technology solutions are noted, including the hypothesis of the impact of digitalization on the strengthening of spatial segregation. Based on the materials of Omsk city, a classification of the mechanisms of interaction of urban communities in the formation of Smart City was developed. It is determined that in the city of Omsk there is a significant segregation of the territory according to the level of development of elements of the urban environment. The scientific novelty consists in identifying additional grounds for segregation of the urban environment based on the dichotomy of the concepts of “digital city” and “smart city”. The study was supported by the RFBR (project 18-311-00210 “Sociolinguistic analysis of urbanistic discourse of urban communities (by the example of Omsk city)”).

The purpose of this work is to determine and form an original classification of the most frequently repeated processes of the enterprise, concerning the largest number of its employees (typical office processes of the enterprise). The result of this work will be used as a database for conducting research of these processes in order to identify suboptimal and inefficient processes from the total set, develop proposals for their optimization, eliminate duplicate processes, and reduce the time of all office processes in the enterprise. The results of the work were achieved using well-known scientific methods (grouping, classification, analysis, synthesis, etc.), as well as taking into account the use of process, complex functional and system approaches. The paper describes the main prerequisites and approaches to identifying inefficient processes of industrial enterprises, key information sources and research methods, provides the conceptual framework used in the context of research, and presents a fragment of the original classification of typical office processes of a large industrial enterprise in the machine-building sector (“Afrikantov OKBM” JSC). The originality of the classification of typical office processes lies in the fact that the well-known classification within the context of “internal and external processes of the enterprise” is expanded by the functional areas of processes, their influence on revenue generation, key stakeholders and the description (variety) of processes. The described classification of processes is universal for large industrial enterprises and can be borrowed, adapted to the specifics of particular organizations and used as a tool for identifying sub-optimal processes in order to improve the operational efficiency of the enterprise and employee productivity, which determines the practical significance of the work. The tools, approaches and solutions described in this paper can be borrowed and used in other industrial enterprises, regardless of their type of activity.
