The article considers the current state of foreign economic activity of the Kirov region and suggests ways to solve the problems of foreign trade turnover reduction. The article analyses the dynamics of foreign trade turnover, changes in the geographical structure of exports and imports of the regional products, the commodity structure of exports represented by non-resource non-energy products. We pay special attention to the enterprises that operate in the industries and export non-resource non-energy products. Among them are the leading manufacturers that demonstrate sustainable development under the sanctions pressure. In order to increase the foreign economic potential of the Kirov region in the world market, it is necessary to properly build a development strategy. Foreign economic activity is an integral part of economic growth of any subject. In recent years, the regional foreign economic activity faces problems that affect export and import positions. There is a need to adapt the regional foreign economic policy to the new conditions of effective management of trade flows. Successful adaptation to these changes will create conditions for maintaining economic stability and development in the long term. The implementation of the proposed measures will allow Kirov region not only to restore its position in foreign markets, but also to reach new levels of economic growth.

Adaptation to new conditions and the formation of an internal corporate culture will play a key role in the fight against personnel shortages in the coming years in our country. For human resource management in Russian enterprises, a comprehensive indicator of the effectiveness of personnel adaptation in a multinational team is needed, taking into account various aspects such as statistical, ethical, dynamic and a number of others. A special emphasis in managing a culturally heterogeneous organization’s team should be placed on developing the interaction of team members, integrating their subjective knowledge, sharing and creatively creating new knowledge. Obviously, in a multinational team, in comparison with a homogeneous team, additional assessment positions are added, inattention to which can lead to problems of joint activities.

Religious tourism, a branch of cultural tourism, can stimulate development, especially in rural areas. This research was conducted to conceptualize a religious tourism development model emphasizing the holy sites of Kermanshah province. The research approach was of qualitative and Grounded Theory type; the research sample comprised experts in the field of religious tourism. Accordingly, 16 semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants using the purposeful sampling method. The four criteria of Lincoln and Guba, including credibility, transferability, reliability, and verifiability, were used to measure the validity and comply with the qualitative research features, validation, accuracy, and robustness of the data. The reliability of the research was also assessed using the test-retest reliability method, with 77% reliability. Strauss and Corbin’s systematic approach analyzed data. Through three open, central, and selective coding procedures, the content analysis results yielded 71 concepts, 14 sub-categories, and six main categories. Finally, the paradigmatic religious tourism development model was presented, in which the development of religious tourism was chosen as the central phenomenon affected by the causal conditions of the research. Contextual and intervening conditions and the central phenomenon formed religious tourism development strategies, and economic, cultural, and social development outcomes were obtained. In the end, practical suggestions were presented for developing religious tourism in Kermanshah province.Introduction"Religious tourism" is one of the oldest forms of tourism and plays an important role in the history of tourism development. Religious tourism includes people who travel for religious or spiritual purposes and visit religious places or participate in religious activities and festivals. In other words, religious tourism refers to all types of trips made with voluntary religious motivation, without pay, and for a limited period.Kermanshah province, with 16,550 sacred places and monuments, is one of the provinces with the potential to attract religious tourists. Despite the potential and attractions that Kermanshah province has in the field of tourism in general and religious tourism in particular, the category of religious tourism in this province should be addressed more. This matter has been neglected from the point of view of the trustees and planners of the matter.This research aims to develop a religious tourism development model with an emphasis on blessed and religious places and locations in Kermanshah province to creat employment and reduce the unemployment rate. So, the current study seeks to answer this question, what kind of model does Kermanshah province has for the development of religious tourism with an emphasis on blessed and religious places?Materials and MethodsThe current research is qualitative in terms of paradigm, developmental-applicative in terms of purpose, and exploratory and ground-theoretical in terms of method. The studied community of the research was made up of experts in the field of religious tourism. Based on this, 16 semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants using the purposeful sampling method. The data were analyzed using the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin. In order to analyze the data, three types of coding were used, which include open coding (creating concepts and categories), axial coding (identifying the core category, causal conditions, contextual and environmental conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences) and selective coding (creation of theory). In order to measure the validity and comply with the qualitative features of the research, validation, accuracy, and robustness of the data, the four criteria of Lincoln and Goba, such as reliability, transferability and appropriateness, reliability and stability, and verifiability, were used. The reliability of the research was also calculated using the test-retest reliability method, and 77% was obtained.ResultsConclusions The resulting Paradigm Model identified welfare and religious attractions as "causal conditions." The mentioned factors are the factors that make the development of religious tourism necessary and inevitable. Religious tourism development strategies include promotional strategies, infrastructural strategies, collaborative strategies, and human resource strategies that are affected by factors such as advertising management and integrated tourism management as "intervening conditions" And "background conditions" such as residents' attitude about the consequences of tourism and residents' attitude towards religious and cultural responsibilities towards pilgrims and tourists. Finally, the development of religious tourism leads to the emergence of "consequences of the development of religious tourism," such as "economic development," such as an increase in rial and foreign exchange income and the prosperity of the tax system, creating job opportunities for the local people of the province, expanding commercial and welfare centers around religious attractions. The province, the prosperity of local industries and products of the province, the employment of women and students on a part-time basis, and the attraction of domestic and foreign capital to the province; and "cultural and social development" such as cultural interaction and expansion of cultural exchanges of the province, strengthening of religious thinking among the local community of the province, awareness of the local community of cultural-religious assets, sense of pride of the local community in cultural-religious assets, strengthening of cultural character and increasing respect pilgrims are given the opportunity to strengthen religious and Islamic culture and rites between guilds and trades, and to revive local-religious traditions and manners. Based on the research findings, somepractical suggestions are presented to develop religious tourism in Kermanshah province

Relevance. The fourth technical revolution, in the realities of which active digitalization processes are taking place, radically changes modern ideas about business and the economy, as activities are conducted in new conditions. Business entities adapt to innovative business models, the processes in which fit into the concept of Industry 4.0 and entail a systematic redistribution of roles in the market in favor of innovation-oriented, high-performance, digital enterprises. New opportunities of digitalization inevitably generate new threats to the economic security of business entities, which are caused by the chaotic influence of factors, both external and internal environment, affect all aspects of activity and require timely identification to develop tools to reduce their consequences. The purpose of the study is a theoretical and methodological study of the issues of distinguishing among innovative forms of entrepreneurial activity a special type of enterprise - a "digital enterprise", with endowed features and a special structure, the features of which allow later to develop a mechanism for systematizing threats to economic security associated with the specifics of its activities for strategic development management. Objectives: to analyze statistical data on the level of digitalization of business in Russia; to formulate the author's approach to understanding the essence and features of a digital enterprise; to present the author's interpretation of the concept of "economic security of a digital enterprise", as well as to reveal the algorithm for identifying specific threats to the economic security of digital enterprises in order to subsequently manage them to ensure the pace of sustainable development of the enterprise. Methodology. The materials of the world rating reports and news agencies were used as part of the study. Standard methods of statistical processing were used. The method of classification and comparative analysis, as well as methods of structural-functional and strategic analysis are applied. Results. The article discusses the main trends of digitalization of business in Russia. The author's approach to understanding the definition of "digital enterprise" is formulated, its key features are highlighted. The systematization of threats to the economic security of digital enterprises is carried out on the basis of the selected features of a digital enterprise. Conclusions. A digital enterprise is a business entity based on the integration of physical and digital objects, which makes it possible to quickly adapt and implement global technological IT trends in order to ensure sustainable economic development. Digital enterprise is a concept that gives a huge advantage to companies that, following global trends, understand the importance of digitalization in doing business. The economic security of a digital enterprise is a complex, multifaceted concept, which should be understood as the resilience of the enterprise's potential to threats from the digital environment and the mechanism for their analysis, systematization and elimination.
The study is devoted to the issue of modeling the processes of development of domestic market of tourist services and hospitality. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to model the development of domestic market for tourism services and hospitality. During the study, the authors concluded that under current conditions of competitiveness of tourist regions of Ukraine on a global scale is directly related to the mechanism of cluster management of tourism development, including domestic. The authors established that the subjects of cluster policy are legislative and executive bodies of state and/or local authorities, which in the process of its implementation interact with each other and with business associations, manufacturing enterprises, educational, scientific and financial institutions, transport and logistics companies, service organizations, etc. Methodology. The theoretical basis of the study were the fundamental principles of economics, approaches to the general and special methods of scientific knowledge, scientific achievements of domestic and foreign scientists on modeling the development of tourism and hospitality. When modeling the processes of development of domestic market of tourist services and hospitality, methods of analysis of economic dynamics, structural and functional analysis, scientific abstraction, as well as the graphical method, econometric methods of linear regression and other methods of economic and mathematical modeling were used. The results and value of the research are to develop an author's model of development of the domestic market of tourism and hospitality of Ukraine, the essence of which is to use a cluster approach. In the mechanism of cluster management of the domestic tourism market it is important to determine the means and methods of targeted state influence, including levers of influence of local authorities, in order to effectively develop the cluster system of tourist destinations in Ukraine. The proposed mechanism is the basis for the implementation of cluster policy as a system of relations between the state and economic entities to improve the competitiveness of the national tourist product through the formation and development of tourism and hospitality clusters. The authors have improved the scientific and practical approach to clustering, which is based on the construction of a cluster model of the domestic market of tourist services of Ukraine, which provides an effective state policy of development of individual tourist clusters and the domestic market of tourist services as a whole.

Contemporary organizations need to follow their performance over a continuous period, as the short period is not enough to provide complete control. Bearing this in mind, performance measurement indicators must be reflecting the organizational strategy, not just in the short term, but also in the medium and long term. In the past, especially in industrial enterprises, a high interest in measuring organizational performance was noted. Afterward, the need for effective performance management has also gained increased recognition and interest in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Considering the transversal demand for management control tools, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) gained special highlight, based on its four interlinked perspectives (financial, customer, internal processes, and learning & growth), originally developed by Kaplan and Norton. The BSC was selected for this research, as it has been already implemented by multiple HEIs, to guide managers and directors in their decisions and contribute to greater efficiency. It was, therefore, also selected for the implementation by an analyzed Portuguese higher education institution. This research aims to contribute to the empirical and practical understanding of BSC implementation in higher education, whilst providing orientation to directors and managers of HEIs. With the implementation of this tool, managers and directors can monitor the organizational performance and follow the defined strategy in the medium and long term. Based on these findings, other institutions could use this study as a guide and a benchmark.

IntroductionThe tourism industry is one of the underlying factors for the growth and prosperity of countries' economies, and nowadays, its expansion has provided considerable success for some countries. Therefore, many countries have tried to develop their tourism to benefit from the huge revenues of this profitable industry and increase economic growth. One of the most important elements of tourism planning is attention to tourist and environmental areas to correct economic decisions, which often consider environmental resources as free goods and services. So, the valuation of tourist areas is an important step in management planning for decision making and proper management. There are no serious and sufficient attention and clear policies to the tourism industry in Iran. Also, the preservation and preparation of ancient sites for public visiting are costly, and visitors usually fund this cost. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the economic value of these places to determine the optimal cost and entrance amount. So, this study aims to evaluate the economic valuation of environmental services and estimate visitors' surplus welfare in the Namir Garden (Sadri Garden) of Yazd province as an archaeological and tourism site.Materials and MethodsIn the present study, the travel cost method has been used to evaluate recreation value and determine the effective factors on the willingness of tourists to pay for the Namir Garden of Taft city. The travel cost production function was estimated based on semi-logarithmic from and using the ordinary least squares regression method (OLS). The study's statistical population includes all people who have visited Namir Garden. Necessary statistics and information were collected randomly by completing 80 face-to-face questionnaires. EVIEWS software has been used for statistical analysis of variables and mathematical calculations.Results and DiscussionRegarding the results, most Namir Garden visitors are men (69%), and a high percentage of the visitors are married (70%). Also, the highest number of visitors (nearly 74%) are in the 20 to 50 years age range (average age of visitors are 40.6 years), which indicates the suitability of Namir Garden for young to middle-aged people. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the needs of this age group.Based on the results, the largest number of visitors (nearly 44%) have a bachelor's degree, which shows that educated people want to spend their leisure time with hobbies that lead and encourage them to visit natural tourist attractions. These results coincide with the other studies such as Divar and Karimi Organi (2019), and Moayedfar et al. (2016). On the other hand, the existence of all types of professions and education of visitors in the present study indicate the flexibility and convergence of region for public use, which is similar to the findings of Yavari and Asadi Bazardeh (2016). In the present study, the average household size was 3.6, and approximately 80% of visitors' income is more than 800000 tomans per month. Also, the highest number of visitors (75%) are natives of Yazd province, and most visitors prefer spring; this is because the air temperature of the spring in Yazd is bearable and has a more favourable condition.Most visitors (approximately 92%) use a personal car to visit this place which coincides with the other studies such as Morsali et al. (2020). Therefore, creating facilities and reducing travel costs can increase the number of visitors. Also, most visitors have chosen the ancient view of the garden as the main motivation for their recreation, and roughly 82% find this garden attractive. According to the results, the variables of travel cost and arrival time are effective factors on the number of annual visits. The number of visits decreases by 0.001 and 0.5850 percentage by increasing one unit in travelling cost and reaching time to the garden, respectively. The consumer surplus per visit was estimated at 21000 Rials, and the total average recreational value of the household was estimated at 913500 Rials per year.ConclusionsIt is necessary to create efficient management to develop and protect recreational values to manage a recreation centre. Therefore, to achieve this goal, it is essential to use other methods to evaluate resorts' quality services and benefits, especially their environmental values. So if the authorities improve the current situation by providing more basic facilities, more tourists will be attracted to this historical place, who are willing to pay more for the use of existing facilities, which will expand the tourism industry and increase income. Besides considering the importance of recognizing the social criteria of visitors, it is necessary to identify social patterns in the design and planning of recreational spaces. For instance, in the present study, most visitors are 20 to 50 years age range and the majority have an academic education, so it is suggested that this group tendency should be paid more attention in recreational programs

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of climate change and its devastating environmental consequences, such as global warming. Soils are the third largest carbon storehouse, and the amount of carbon storage is strongly influenced by the land use management. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in carbon storage in different land uses included Punica granatum orchard, Medicago sativa farm, rangeland, Hordeum vulgare farm and fallow, under impact of soil properties such as sand, clay, silt, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon, pH and EC, in Ala area of Semnan. In the selected land uses 30 soil samples were taken in both 0 - 5 and 5 - 30 cm soil depths in three. In order to investigate the effect of land use type in two soil depths studied on soil carbon content, analysis of variance and Duncan's test was used to compare the means. Pearson correlation was used to investigate the relationship between soil properties as independent variables and soil organic carbon as a dependent variable. Also, multiple regression analysis was performed to determine relationship type between the variables. According to the results, the type of land use in both soil depths has a significant effect on soil carbon storage. The highest average soil carbon storage in 0 - 5 and 5 - 30 cm soil depths in alfalfa and pomegranate orchard land uses are 16.14 and 68.11 t/ha, respectively. The lowest amount of carbon storage in 0 - 5 and 5 to 30 cm soil depths related to rangeland use are 6.23 and 16.58 hectare/ha, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient between organic carbon and soil factors of nitrogen and phosphorus were statistically significant with r of 0.8 and 0.59, respectively. Since the correlation between organic carbon and phosphorus is low, it was omitted in the regression analysis. Finally, the percentage of soil organic carbon was obtained based on the percentage of soil nitrogen. In general, land use change from pasture to arable land and pomegranate orchard can have a significant effect on increasing soil carbon storage in the study area. Soil properties other than nitrogen have no significant effect on soil organic carbon.
The present study seeks to identify the factors affecting the behaviour of tourists about environmental protection activities. The research method has based on meta-synthesis. After searching for specific keywords in two journals, Google Scholar and Web Science, 198 articles have been extracted. Eventually, 40 articles were coded and analyzed manually. The selected articles were divided into two categories, which included tourists' behaviour towards the environment and explaining the behaviour of indigenous people towards the environment. After extracting the sub-themes, the factors influencing tourists' behaviour towards three main themes can be suggested: indicators related to tourists - country of origin and destination country. Finally, by comparing the two categories of research, it can be suggested that consumers' perceptions of uncontrollable external factors such as the roles of governments and the understanding of chance/fate factors can explain the gaps in the present predicting the tourists' behaviour toward the environment. IntroductionToday, paying attention to the environment is a very important issue in developing and developed countries. One of the areas that can severely affect the environment is tourism, which has become an important part of the gross national income for most countries. Due to its cultural heritage and its natural and four-season landscapes, Iran has attracted many tourists every year. Considering the importance of the environment on the one hand and the improvement of the tourism industry, on the other hand, the development of tourist behaviours is very important. Give tourists behaviour.Materials and MethodsAccording to the research topic, the method used is meta-synthesis because the theoretical gap of the research was not clear. In the first stage, 198 articles were identified through the specified keywords, after which 40 papers were finally selected for the final analysis. The selected articles were divided into two categories, which included the behaviour of tourists and the indigenous behaviour of individuals towards the environment. The coding process was performed separately in each of these categories to identify new themes by comparing them. Caldwell is a model for measuring the validity and quality of research. In this type of evaluation, based on the basic and basic criteria, the subjects, the scope, the results, the studies, the methodology, and the validity of the articles were assessed. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to properly execute the process and reliable the analysis and coding results. Several reviewed articles (15 out of 40) were randomly selected and provided to another experienced researcher for this purpose. In this study, Cohen's kappa coefficient for coding of two researchers was 0.78, which indicates high reliability.Discussion and ResultsAfter extracting the sub-themes, we finally suggested the factors affecting tourists' behaviour towards three main themes: indicators related to tourists, country of origin, and country of destination. The section on indicators related to tourists, motivations - attitude - personal experiences, environmental knowledge, materialism, pride, guilt, individual factors, significant experiences, tourist anxiety, nostalgia, age, gender, willingness to pay more, group size, Travel time is included. For the country of origin, institutional environment, level of development - development of the Internet, religion, media, air pollution, and for the country of origin, factors such as destination loyalty, destination brand, destination culture, environmental climate, religion, location were categorized. Also, for the natives, the main factors explaining the behaviour of tourists were identified, which are in the same three categories. In addition to these identified themes, theories were identified that have been considered in explaining indigenous behaviour towards the environment but have not been studied in the behaviour of tourists.ConclusionsConsidering the comparison of researches done in the two fields of tourism and public actors regarding the environment, it is suggested that to improve the activities of tourists in the field of environment. It is necessary to pay attention to three items: the position of their country, the position of the destination country, motivations and The tourist's own experiences. Also, by comparing the two categories of research conducted, it can be suggested that consumers' perceptions of uncontrollable external factors such as government maps and an understanding of factors of chance, habit, and social capital can be gaps in predicting tourist behaviour. It is suggested that researchers in their research consider these variables in explaining the behaviour of tourists.

Abstract In the field of manufacturing the responsiveness has become a new strategic goal for the enterprises alongside with quality and costs. Efficient responsiveness requires production reconfiguration ranging from layout to equipment. The production system capabilities originate from the tool and equipment level. While a resource is being used, its condition and capability may change. It is crucial to consider the resources’ individual lifecycle, their actual capabilities and condition during the system design and reconfiguration. Thus, the lifecycle perspective in the capability management is of utmost importance. This paper presents the development of the Manufacturing Resource Capability Ontology (MaRCO), focusing on describing the functional capabilities of manufacturing resources. Special emphasis is placed on the lifecycle management aspect of the resource descriptions.
Background: Young people who engaged in different risk behaviors attracted concern nowadays. Noticeably, the concurrent multiple risk behaviors generate adverse effect to health and their future life.
Aims: The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of the concurrent multiple risk behaviors and to evaluate the association between social factors and the concurrent multiple risk behaviors among the high school students in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Methods: A quantitative survey with a cross sectional design was applied involving a total of 1,333 Hanoi high school students. The survey was conducted in the end of 2016. The multivariate linear regression models were applied to examine the social factors associated with the concurrent multiple risk behaviors of Hanoi high school students. Eighteen different risk behaviors had been selected for constructing a composite variable of the total risk behaviors that students have engaged in.
Results: On average, the high school students have been reported involving in 4.88 behaviors of the 18 selected observed risk behaviors. The multivariate linear regression models with demographic factors and different social connections of high school students could explain for about 37.6% of the difference in composite variable of the total risk behaviors. This present study reveals several factors that increase the number of risk behaviors the students may engage, including the connection to the family's members or friends, duration in social media, and the number of friends in the online network. In the contrast, strong family connection has been demonstrated to provide a "safe haven" for protecting the high school students from involving in increasing multiple different risk behaviors.
Conclusion: The research findings strongly recommend early prevention strategies should be conducted among the high school students. The identified concurrent risk behaviors should be targeted as prevention actions rather than focusing on controlling individual risk behaviors. In addition, the involvement of their parents and friends are suggested to be the target audience together with students in concurrent risk behaviors controlling and preventing programs among the high school students and young generation.
