В статье приводится обоснование условий тренировки устойчивости к укачиванию будущих морских специалистов, способствующих снижению объемов нагрузки в специальных упражнениях и временных затрат на цикл подготовки. Предложен способ расчета перегрузок в упражнениях, применяемых в активной, пассивной и смешанной тренировках устойчивости к укачиванию. Значение критерия определяется путем вычисления отношения полного ускорения, действующего на вестибулярный анализатор в процессе движения, к ускорению свободного падения. Установлено, что ведущей теорией для отбора средств тренировки является теория сенсорного конфликта. Дается описание и обоснование применения авторских разработок для тренировки статического и динамического равновесия на возвышенной, наклонной, качающейся и соскальзывающей опорах, моделирующих условия сохранения статокинетической устойчивости в морских условиях. Предложен необходимый и достаточный комплекс технических устройств и тренажеров для управления устойчивостью будущих морских специалистов к укачиванию. The article substantiates the conditions of resistance to motion sickness of future marine specialists, the possibilities of the system for measuring the load in special exercises and the time spent on the training cycle. A method for calculating overloads in exercises used in active, passive and mixed trainings of resistance to motion sickness is proposed. The value is determined by calculating the ratio of the total acceleration acting on the vestibular analyzer during the acceleration of gravity. It has been established that the leading theory for the selection of training means is the theory of sensory conflict. A description and justification of the use of author's developments for training static and dynamic balance on an elevated, inclined, swinging and sliding support, simulating the conditions for maintaining statokinetic stability in marine conditions, is given. The necessity and a sufficient set of technical devices and simulators for the sustainable development of marine specialists for motion sickness is proposed.

The selection of indicators for the Observatory of Sustainability of the Algarve Region for Tourism (OBSERVE), poses challenges, namely which indicators are relevant to stakeholders and how to assure that information is available. To support the selection of the environmental, sociocultural, economic and institutional indicators, an engagement process was designed and applied, which included meetings with stakeholders, a workshop and an online survey. The results showed that both workshop and online surveys reflected, in general, similar opinions, thus allowing the selecting of the sustainable development indicators for the Algarve region. Additionally, the results showed that nearly 75% of the indicators can be obtained from national statistics and, therefore, can be used on the OBSERVE project, assuring a quick flow of information. As limitations, it is important to mention that the other 25% will need further development, in order to provide data for indicators, like carbon management and client satisfaction. With this approach, the observatory will survey and evaluate the sustainable development of the region (status and trends), based on indicators that answer to the strategic needs of system’s main users, with social and economic implications, i.e., public institutions, economic agents, tourists, local communities and residents.

The building of the Hongyashan Reservoir leads to the natural watercourse drying up in the downstream of Shiyang River Basin and the Rump lake disappearing. Lining Channels was used to conveying water to Qingtu Lake since the Key Management has been carried out in Shiyang River Basin.In spite of small regional environment improved, the river and the lake can not be connected with each other as the natural watercourse remain discarded.As a result the ecological restoration of Qingtu River can not work effectively.Starting from restoring the ecological function of rivers and lakes, the pattern of conveying water should be changed into supplementing water to Qingtu Lake with the natural watercourse of Shiyang River,connecting the lake and the river.Meanwhile the jointed scheduling mode of surface water and groundwater ensures the dynamic balance of ground water and the sustainable development of oasis.

Ensuring the sustainable development of the economy depends to a large extent on the implementation of the innovative model, in which the innovation infrastructure plays a key role. The growing number of technoparks in Ukraine has increased the requirements for economic substantiations for decision-making regarding the expediency of implementing their innovative projects. The search for appropriate methods and approaches to project evaluation has determined the actuality of the research topic. The article summarizes the methods of evaluating innovative projects, identifies their advantages and disadvantages. Besides, it reveals the features of the evaluation of innovative projects of technoparks. The novelty of the work is the proposed methodological approach to the evaluation of the efficiency of innovative technopark projects, which takes into account the specifics of the Ukrainian legislation. The methodological approach is based on the generally accepted performance indicators in the world: Net Present Value, Profitability Index, Internal Rate of Return, and Payback Period. Special accounts of technology parks, their participants, and joint ventures are a separate element in the calculation formulas. The application of the proposed methodological approach will accelerate the process of selection of innovative projects and their implementation, activation of innovative activities, and the sustainable development of the state. The proposed methodological approach is tested in the evaluation of the innovative project of the technopark of the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute and confirmed the effectiveness of its implementation.

Abstract This article addresses Slovenia as a case of a post -communist country in terms of its sustainable development. It deploys an in -depth historical analysis and extensive empirical data while exploring Slovenian society through the analytical lens of morpho-static/morphogenetic approach (Archer 2017). The focus is on (1) the country’s structural and cultural settings in each selected period in order to explore whether there has been a mutual reinforcement of the levels of both, contributing to the sustainable development; (2) ways in which agents respond to such changes reinforcing or changing the structural settings. The selection of quantitative structural indicators of sustainable development is based on the indicators of sustainable development that have a direct reference to the Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations 2030 and also adopted by the current Strategy of Development of Slovenia. The selection of survey data was based on their connection with the same sustainability issues and their availability for a longer period, particularly close to the time points of the cycles observed. The findings show that in terms of contributing to sustainable development, the presence of morphogenesis in the selected cycles turns out to be rather limited, and there is a severe lack of political reflexivity (cf. Al -Amoudi 2017) among actors.

In Taiwan, the most advantageous tender in governmental procurement is the selection of a general contractor based on a score or ranking evaluated by a committee. Due to personal, subjective preferences, the contractor selection of committee members may be different, causing cognitive difference between the results of the members’ selection and the preliminary opinions provided by the working group. Integrated, multi-criteria decision making techniques, combined with preference relation, Bayesian, fuzzy utility, and prospect theories are used to assess factors weighing up the duration/cost/quality, probability of external information, and utility function system. The paper proposes a Bayesian fuzzy prospect model for group decision making, based on probability and utility multiplied relation, and taking the sustainable development factors into consideration. This study aims to provide committees with an objective model to select the best contractor for public construction projects. The results of this study can avoid the lowest bidder being selected; besides, the score gap of contractor selection can be increased, and the difference between the top three contractors’ scores can be decreased as well. In addition to proposing an innovative decision-making system of contractor selection and an index weight-assessing system for sustainable development, this model will be widely applied and sustainably updated for other cases.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs, are high on the agenda for most countries of the world. In its publication of the SDGs, the UN has provided the goals and target descriptions that, if implemented at a country level, would lead towards a sustainable future. The IAEG (InterAgency Expert Group of the SDGs) was tasked with disseminating indicators and methods to countries that can be used to gather data describing the global progress towards sustainability. However 2030 Agenda leaves it to countries to adopt the targets with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances. At present, guidance on how to go about this is scant, but it is clear that the responsibility is with countries to implement and that it is actions at a country level that will determine the success of the SDGs. SDG reporting by countries takes on two forms 1) global reporting using prescribed indicator methods and data; 2) National Voluntary Reviews where a country reports on its own progress in more detail but is also able to present data that are more appropriate for the country. For the latter, countries need to be able to adapt the global indicators to fit national priorities and context, thus the global description of an indicator could be reduced to describe only what is relevant to the country. Countries may also, for the National Voluntary Review, use indicators that are unique to the country but nevertheless contribute to measurement of progress towards the global SDG target. Importantly, for those indicators that relate to the security of natural resources security (e.g. water) indicators, there are no prescribed numerical targets/standards or benchmarks. Rather countries will need to set their own benchmarks or standards against which performance can be evaluated. This paper presents a procedure that would enable a country to describe national targets with associated benchmarks that are appropriate for the country. The procedure focusses on those SDG targets that are natural resource-security focussed e.g. extent of water-related ecosystems (6.6), desertification (15.3) etc., because the selection of indicator methods and benchmarks is based on the location of natural resources, their use and present state and how they fit into national strategies.

Research Question: This paper recommends the method for selecting the optimal ammunition caliber for the automatic rifle that will be used to equip Serbian Army units. Motivation/idea: The selection of adequate caliber does not only represent a challenge for the decision-makers in the military, but also provides information to the industry to adjust to given requests. In the current conditions, the purpose-built industry of the Republic of Serbia is faced with two key tasks that are completely correlated: meeting the needs of the Serbian Army for quality ammunition and being competitive on the market. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to develop a qualitative model based on the DEX method and DEXi software applied in the selection of caliber ammunition for automatic rifles for the needs of members of the Serbian Army. This paper connects for the first time the qualitative DEX method with a product of this industry. Data / Tools: In order to meet the requirements of the multi-criteria decision-making, we developed the DEX model to be used to solve the problem of making decisions about the selection of optimal caliber for rearming the Serbian Army, as well as its cost-effectiveness. The alternatives are calibers for automatic rifles 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm that are currently in use in the Serbian Army, as well as the new 6.5 mm caliber which has been announced by the expert authorities. We defined the selection of criteria functions from technical and logistic standpoints. Using the DEX method and DEXi software enables us to obtain independent recommendations by applying different criteria. Findings: Results of this research show that the caliber is a very important component when it comes to army’s armament. At the same time, this question poses a challenge for the sustainable development of the weapons industry. As the optimal caliber, among the offered, after processing the input data in the DEXi software, the authors propose a caliber of 5.56 mm. This caliber dominates in most criteria and as such, it represents the best choice. Contribution: This paper contributes to the creation of sustainable development policies on the national and regional levels and it helps the key decision-makers in the military make decisions. Results of such and similar research, and the fact that the international market has a growing need for ammunition of this caliber should be guidelines for the domestic weapons industry for future development and investment.

The article determines the essence, distinctive features and functions of the balanced development of microeconomic systems under the influence of globalization phenomena and digital transformations. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was formed by the evolutionary-cyclical theory and the theory of dynamic equilibrium, the main approaches to balanced (sustainable) development. In the course of the study, methods of dialectical cognition, generalization and scientific abstraction were used, the use of which made it possible to form the theoretical foundations of the balanced development of microeconomic systems, taking into account globalization, informatization and digital transformations. The factors of positive and negative influence of globalization processes on the microeconomic systems activity have been established. A coherent relationship between the modern patterns of microeconomic systems development and infocommunication technologies and services they use, was revealed, taking into account the created synergistic effect, which makes it possible to determine the influence of infocommunication technologies on the digital literacy of society and the development of digital economy by taking into account their availability and intensity of use. It is noted that the balanced development of microeconomic systems is a dynamic category aimed at optimizing the process of achieving balanced economic, social and environmental development through the implementation of the dynamic relationship of new functions and qualitative characteristics of systems. It has been determined that the balanced development of microeconomic systems is characterized by excellent features, in particular: economic, ecological, energy and social. The aggregate of microeconomic systems functions, implemented by them in the context of sustainable development and necessary for solving external and internal problems of ensuring high-quality and stable development in the long term, maintaining a dynamic balance and relying on their own capabilities, is characterized. Based on the generalization of existing theoretical approaches and basic provisions of the sustainable development concept at different levels of the hierarchy, taking into account globalization, informatization and digital transformations, a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of microeconomic systems was further developed, based on the establishment of the characteristic distinctive features of the balanced development of enterprises, the activities of which are investigated from the standpoint of their implementation of the totality economic, social and environmental functions.

Processes occurring in the natural environment due to the implementation of industrial concepts of agricultural development led to a significant change of the production and consumption models. The approach shifted to a more balanced one, leading to the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas based on the combination of social, environmental and economic goals. Whilst ensuring an appropriate balance between these systems, there is an attempt to achieve balance within and between generations. The focus on organic food matches well with these trends and seems particularly important, given growing awareness of consumers and their willingness to best meet their needs through the selection of products with the appropriate nutritional and health parameters. Ecological product provides an opportunity to improve the competitiveness of agriculture, especially in Europe, enabling rational management of resources by implementing the economics of sustainable development. The article presents the status and trends of development of organic farming in Poland in the years 2004–2014. In addition, the structure of expenditure in Polish households is shown, including the level of spending on organic food against the background of the countries with the highest per capita consumption.
