SOCIETY AND ECONOMY: PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT
The article presents the conceptual basis for institutionalization of economic security of network interaction of economic entities, taking into account their coherence in the aspect of neoinstitutional theory. The study revealed the economic significance and composition of transaction costs of network interaction of economic entities in the context of economic security, which allows us to consider their optimization as one of the main modern directions of ensuring the stability of the formed joint business partnership.
The purpose of the article is to study changes in business activity after the complete digitalization of economic activity and the introduction of the A. Harberger system. The article uses the methodology of the theory of inventive problem solving, which is used to assess the consequences of digitalization of property relations and the introduction of the A. Harberger system. According to this theory, all objects of business property are divided into such elements as «engine», «working body», «transmission», «computer», «energy source». It is argued that as a result of digitalization, these elements will gain independ ence and flexibility of combination. In this case, the «calculator» will be the dominant and most expensive element. The introduction of the A. Harberger System will make it necessary to minimize the cost of it by providing access to it for all economic entities. As a result of these processes, all profit – making technologies become well-known, and business property objects become publicly available.As a result, business activity will continue only in those segments of the economy that can function without the participation of the computer and where it is possible to use a communal form of ownership.The main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used to develop measures to maintain business activity in the new conditions. In order to maintain business activity, it is proposed to create internal communal offshore companies, whose residents will enjoy special taxation and property administration regimes. The article substantiates the possibility of maintaining tax control over them using quantitative dependencies between different functional levels of business activity.
The issue of relation between economic growth and state of environment remains one of the debatable in modern economic science both in theory and in terms of making practical recommendations for carrying out economic policy. One of the most promising is the approach based on the idea of the environmental Kuznets curve, suggested by G. Grossman and A. Krueger. Our study is concerned with the assessment of the environmental Kuznets curve for Eastern Europe and Baltic states. The analysis is based on the data covering 16 Eastern Europe and Baltic states. This country group was selected as the target of the research since these countries are relatively similar in their institutional structure of economic management and rarely form target of studies. World Bank Development Indicators and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are data sources.
STATISTICS AND ECONOMIC DIMENSION
Urgency of research is determined by the problem of Russia’s lagging behind in innovative development from the world’s leading countries. The testing of the DEA-model dynamic efficiency toolkit was carried out to assess the innovative development of the SFD regions. The following results were obtained: the DEA-efficiency indicators of the regions based on the aggregate of resource indicators and the results of the 2-stage model «Generation – Knowledge Commercialization»; the simulation space of the regions was built in the coordinates of the indicators of resources and results; the heterogeneity of static and dynamic indicators of the efficiency of regions was revealed.
The article considers models of dependence of income of budgets of regions (subjects of the Russian Federation and PFO) on various factors. The economic factors chosen are types of taxes – income tax of organizations, NDFL, property tax and free revenues. The second part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the dynamics of GRP, revenues, investments in fixed assets and their relations in the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2010–2017.
The article investigated the factors affecting the value of residential real estate. By analyzing the residential real estate market, private, regional and nationwide factors affecting the cost of housing have been identified. The main criteria characteristics of the object of study are determined. Measures are proposed to increase the efficiency of the implementation of housing policy at the regional level.
FACTS, APPRAISALS, PERSPECTIVES
The article proposes an analysis and assessment of the resource and economic potential of the municipality in the wirking-out of the Strategy of its socio-economic development. The work was carried out on the basis of reporting statistical and departmental materials of the city of Berdsk of the Novosibirsk region for the period 2008–2017 and materials of the previously approved Strategy of socio-economic development of the city of Berdsk for the period up to 2025. Labor resources, industrial production, road transport complex, investment, land resources, consumer market, tourist and recreational potential, social sphere, in particular, education, health care, culture, physical culture, sports and youth policy, were considered. The analysis made it possible to identify both the potential for further development and the factors that restrain it.
Agriculture and industry are the most important sectors of the world economy, they play an immeasurable role in the national economies in reality of all countries of the world, both developed and developing, and perform such necessary functions as guaranteeing the population with food and industrial production of raw materials. According to the levels of development of the agrarian sector and industry, it is possible to draw a general conclusion about the degree of socio-economic development of the state. The lower the productivity (efficiency) of labor in agricultural production and the higher share of the agricultural sector in the GDP, the more poor the republic. For poor, underdeveloped countries, the agrarian mode of the economy is significant. They are largely dependent on the progress of national agriculture, while possessing not an inconspicuous low level of income per person. But often, the citizens of these countries are not guaranteed sufficient food supply, otherwise they are malnourished, that is, they even starve. The Republic of Tajikistan is one of the countries with an inherent predominant development of the rural sector. Agriculture is and, in fact, remains a key lever of livelihood for more than fifty percent of the population of the state. It accounts for almost a quarter of GDP and over a quarter of export earnings.
BUSINESS INFORMATICS
The paper presents the results of an analysis of the impact of trust between participants in the fashion supply chain on consumer risks. The purpose of the research is to develop a conceptual model of the system of interaction between participants in the supply chain of fashion products using blockchain technology to ensure technically expressed trust. Blockchain technology is promising for use in the economy and business, which is confirmed by existing research. However, there is currently insufficient research on the use of blockchain technology as a method of ensuring trust in the interaction systems of supply chain participants in the fashion industry, which in practice leads to the use of an empirical approach and leads to the implementation of inefficient solutions. In this work, the authors expand the methodological tools for creating systems for interaction between participants in the supply chain of fashionable goods using blockchain technology to ensure technically expressed trust. The results of the work are a conceptual model of such a system and a scenario for using blockchain technology to ensure technically expressed trust.
The paper presents the analysis of the information process of current academic performance records and interim attestation of academic personnel for modeling of the subsystem of monitoring of efficiency of their postgraduate training.

The paper studies the origins and process of establishment of the DevOps methodology meant to resolve a conflict between developers and administrators. In a decade of its existence the DevOps methodology successfully went through one transformation and one more is expected in near future. Even now DevOps is divided into NoOps, ChatOps, AIOps and other methodologies. The article considers possible ways of further development of the methodology as well as its possible impact on the IT Field in general.
SOCIOLOGY
This article deals with the aspect of national security including mind control and methods of influence on collective consciousness, which appears to be relevant and enshrined in the regulatory state documents. The main content of the article considers both the process of mind control by which the hidden methods of socio-psychological influence are used and the instrumental methods themselves. Various interdisciplinary national scientific studies on this issue (sociology, psychology, political science, law, etc.) identified the key methods such as coercion, suggestion, conviction, propaganda, agitation, stereotyping (programming) and problematization. It is noted that the methods in their content and by type of influence are complementary and substitutable, and include variety of types and techniques. One also mentions the fact that there is no single integrated typology (classification) of these methods in modern scientific research field. Further broadening this line of scientific research and its thematic continuation, and integrating the most widespread but divided methods of influence on collective consciousness in the academic literature, the author proposes a structural integration of these methods into a single visual scheme.

This article shows the analysis results of various approaches to the integration of strategic and tactical management systems based on hoshin planning (Japanese management model), knowledge management system (American management model), and controlling (German management model). Based on controlling the relevance of the mechanism of strategic and tactical management integration was explained for Russian entities. A model of organization management that employs controlling was developed facilitating strategic and tactical management integration by reducing intra-organizational barriers and harmonizing business processes, shaping core skills to rapidly respond to new challenges owing to the fast development of new relationships. The stages of controlling implementation were defined: preparatory one, targeted both at identifying the actual need of the company to integrate strategic and tactical management and quantifying the required amount of work; the intervention one that specifies system organizational alterations; the final one that determines the alteration rate of implementation results and the completion of controlling integration into the company’s management system. A technique to assess the implementation efficiency of the mechanism to integrate strategic and tactical management based on an integral performance indicator and a system of integrated indicators was developed, those indicators in turn, determined the sets of particular indicators. Matching of organizational design to the facility functions, the development level of the relations between the structural elements of organizational design, the development level of corporate culture, quality level of development and managerial decision-making, the development level of the information space were shown as integrated indicators. Particular indicators were viewed by the integrated indicator of organizational design matching to the facility functions. The suggested methodological approach to estimate the implementation efficiency of the mechanism to integrate strategic and tactical management was exemplified by the subsidiary operation of the AO WBD Sibirskoe Moloko , a joint stock company under the laws of the Russian Federation .The dynamics of these integrated indicators was shown at the initial and two intermediate stages, and the results of the financial and economic activities of the subsidiary were estimated while the controlling implementation.
