Optimized of management Information Technology related aspects of both internal and external software such as networking, it can not be done sporadically personalized level management or policy makers. IT management issues has been experiencing a transition from technology issues into problems of management and governance. It was triggered by the increasing dependence and the need for the field of Information Technology. In today's modern era of information technology should be managed as well as manage other assets as a strategy for continuity of service of an agency / company.However along with the requirement also escalate issues of how to ensure that information technology is applied in accordance with the needs and functions. As well important how to control the transparency of the procurement of Information Technology is not abused and that the application is not appropriate. For it was imperative for government agencies to have a reference model suitable of IT Governance as required and expected. This study successfully identified the presence of 3 (three) CobIT 5 process to be used as the IT Governance models that can be applied, they are; EDM02, EDM03, and EDM05.

Objective of the study: Evaluate, according to the Resource-based View (RBV) perspective, the impact IT governance and management have on the finalistic performance of Brazilian public-sector organizations in terms of the provision of high-quality processes and products.Methodology: Application of multivariate analysis techniques and a two-step cluster analysis (hierarchical method and K-means) in the iGov2017 Survey database which includes 482 organizations and is made available by the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU).Relevance: The research contributes to reducing the lack of academic publications that analyze the integration of the concepts of strategy, value creation, and governance and IT management within the scope of the Brazilian public sector.Main results: The data showed that 47.7% of the organizations presented incipient levels of IT governance and management. In contrast, 19% of the organizations analyzed presented satisfactory results in terms of performance and IT governance maturity. Evidence indicates that there is a positive correlation between governance quality, IT governance and management, and the finalistic performance of organizations.Theoretical contributions: Results suggest, in accordance with the RBV perspective, that a multifaceted, harmonic, and complex orchestration that ensures consistent alignment of strategic decision making, IT strategies, risk management, and IT governance and management has a direct effect on the performance of Brazilian organizations.Management contributions: Learning more about the profile of the organizations in every cluster selected for analysis could be useful for public managers in adopting measures that enhance the quality of public service provision for the benefit of all Brazilian citizens with reasonable risks and costs.

Accurate monitoring of grassland vegetation dynamics is essential for ecosystem restoration and the implementation of integrated management policies. A lack of information on vegetation changes in the Wulagai River Basin restricts regional development. Therefore, in this study, we integrated remote sensing, meteorological, and field plant community survey data in order to characterize vegetation and ecosystem changes from 1997 to 2018. The residual trend (RESTREND) method was utilized to detect vegetation changes caused by human factors, as well as to evaluate the impact of the management of pastures. Our results reveal that the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of each examined ecosystem type showed an increasing trend, in which anthropogenic impact was the primary driving force of vegetation change. Our field survey confirmed that the meadow steppe ecosystem increased in species diversity and aboveground biomass; however, the typical steppe and riparian wet meadow ecosystems experienced species diversity and biomass degradation, therefore suggesting that an increase in NDVI may not directly reflect ecosystem improvement. Selecting an optimal indicator or indicator system is necessary in order to formulate reasonable grassland management policies for increasing the sustainability of grassland ecosystems.

Annotation Purpose. Improving the efficiency of entomophages production by developing innovative approaches for it management. Methods. System approach, intelligent information technologies. Results. Innovative approaches for it management of entomophages production have been developed, which consist of: determining and ranking the factors that have the greatest impact on the quality of entomological products, and factors that lead to substandard products; the creation of structural and parametric complexes for assessing product quality; real-time assessment of the intensity of entomocultures development processes; automation of management abiotic parameters stepwise development of insects (temperature and relative humidity of the box for growing of insects) in real time; determining the quality of entomological products in conditions of incomplete information, taking into account the impact of a combination of abiotic and biotic production parameters; calculation of optimal values of production parameters in conditions of uncertainty; systematization of knowledge about the interaction of heterogeneous parameters in the production of entomophages. Conclusions. The proposed innovative approaches to manage the production of entomophages can increase its efficiency by forming optimal management strategies, using the technological experience of specialists and modern intelligent information technologies in particular, SCADA-systems, fuzzy logic theory and cognitive analysis. Keywords: innovative approaches, production of entomophages, intelligent information technologies.

This research investigates the opportunity cost as an indirect cost of financial distress from two perspectives. First, indirect cost is estimated using multi-stage financial distress and non-linear proxy of debt. Second, receivable and inventory management are studied as determinants of indirect cost. The sample includes ongoing Pakistani firms that were healthy in the previous year and documenting positive gross profit. Results showed that firms bear opportunity loss primarily due to leverage rather than multistage financial distress. However, a non-linear relationship is found between leverage and indirect cost. Results further explored the impact of multistage financial distress on internal operations, i.e., working capital policies. It is found that firms manage receivable and inventory simultaneously during the multistage financial distress. Results revealed that increasing receivables and decreasing inventory is suitable during the transition of healthy firms to initial stage of financial distress, i.e., profit reduction. However, decreasing receivables, along with holding more inventory, is recommended for healthy firms that face liquidity problems subsequently. It is concluded that managers can reduce the indirect cost after deploying the optimal debt ratio and recommended receivable and inventory management policies.
