Proportionality of the development of mining and processing industries in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.41-53

The article presents the calculated shares of the key economic activity indicators for the territories–mineral extraction and the volumes of mineral processing industries combined–and the individual enterprises’ share of extraction and processing volumes in the regions, in macroregions (federal districts), and in the Russian Federation as a whole. The authors also determined the shares of each of these economic activities in the gross regional product of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation, macroregions, and the Russian Federation as a whole. These calculations allowed for a comparative analysis of the dynamics of these shares since 2010, determining the current proportions of these indicators, and identifying the degree of proportionality between the development of mineral extraction volumes and the volumes of mineral processing industries in the study territories.

Cost estimation of boron-neutron capture therapy when using proton accelerators and compact neutron generators

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.57-68

Boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is one of the most effective treatments for a number of oncological diseases. Boron isotope 510B is injected into malignant tumors and then it is irradiated with thermal neutrons. The decay products of boron (lithium and helium nuclei) have a low mileage in body tissue and destroy the tumor cells. Compact neutron generators (as neutron sources based on proton or deuton accelerators) are attracting more and more attention. Interaction of proton or deuton with a cooled target made of special materials generates neutrons. In the world there are more than sixteen BNCT centers based on compact accelerators at various stages of development. Russia has accumulated extensive experience in the production of compact neutron generators for various industries, however, their use for nuclear medicine purposes is just beginning. Therefore, the economic analysis of the creation of BNRT centers is of great scientific and practical interest. In this paper, an attempt is made to evaluate the effectiveness of investments into BNCT-centr and the cost of medical services using neutron generators, based on the methodology developed at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. Published information on the capital and operating costs of a number of foreign medical centers was used as initial data for the investment analysis of BNCT-centers. It is shown, as the result of the calculations, that depending on the amount of financial costs for BNCT-centr construction and operation and on the number of patients served, the cost of medical services may exceed 10-20 thousands of dollars per patient.

Combined GAP–MVP–QM analysis is a new direction of organizational and economic expertise and diagnostics of competitiveness of hotel service facilities in the face of changes

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.69–85

This article discusses the use of combined GAP (study of «gaps»)–MVP (minimum viable product)–QM (quality management) analysis to conduct expertise and diagnose the competitiveness of hotel service facilities in modern socio-economic conditions. It has been established that with a synergetic approach and a harmonious symbiosis of types of GAP–MVP–QM analysis, it is possible to obtain a more detailed and accurate understanding of the integration of economic activity and competitiveness of hotel service facilities in the context of changes. Therefore, hotel service organizations pay great attention to the problems of efficient use of their financial resources and step up the search for ways to improve their financial condition. It is shown that the use of combined GAP- MVP- QM analysis will help the premium Lotte Hotel Moscow to analyze more objectively the quality of service and provision of services to the consumer, to identify shortcomings as fully as possible and to identify ways to improve hotel service and increase competitiveness in the face of changes.

Multi-purpose nature of corporate socio-economic systems in construction

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.94-102

The article purpose is to argue the need for interaction between the corporate goal and the process of corporate goal-setting in large corporations. The non-linear nature of the hierarchical structure of goals and the multi-purpose nature of corporate socio-economic systems in construction are substantiated. We formulated a number of basic methodological principles of hierarchical multi-purpose socio-economic systems goalsetting. There are carried out the classification of the corporate system goals in upper levels of the hierarchical construction corporate target structure. The results of the exploration showed that the corporate goals structure for socio-economic systems in construction should be basis on the principles of hierarchy, consistency of functional and target structures, multi-purpose nature, completeness and independence of a set of goals, and their dynamism.

Digital security of the international economic system in the context of crises

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.5-12

In modern conditions of globalization and digitalization of the world economy, the issues of ensuring digital security are becoming particularly relevant. The digital transformation of economic relations, accompanied by the active introduction of information technology, creates new challenges for the international economic system, especially during periods of crisis. The purpose of the research is to develop the theoretical and methodological foundations for ensuring the digital security of the international economic system in the context of crisis phenomena. Digital security is a comprehensive system of measures aimed at protecting information assets and ensuring the sustainable functioning of the economic system in the context of digitalization. In the context of the international economy, it includes protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring confidentiality and data integrity, preventing cyber-attacks and unauthorized access, as well as protecting payment systems and financial transactions. The crisis phenomena significantly affect the level of digital security, which is confirmed by increased cyber-attacks on remote workers, an increase in cases of fraud with government payments, disruption of critical systems and an increase in the vulnerability of payment systems. The crisis phenomena create new challenges for the digital security system, requiring rapid response and adaptation of existing protection mechanisms. At the same time, international cooperation is a key factor in ensuring digital security, especially in the context of globalized economic relations.

About economic competitiveness of Small Modular Reactor with accident tolerant fuel. Part 2

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.13-20

The method of analytical calculation of the microeconomic criteria of investment efficiency into PWR Small Modular Reactor is presented as depending on the engineering, physical and economic parameters of the reactor. This method is convenient for multi-variant preliminary searches of acceptable criteria for SMR competitiveness. As a prototype SMR reactor is being considered RITM-200N with a period of 6 years of continuous work (before fuel overload) and the use of tolerant fuels, accident-resistant, consisting of metal ceramic composition in a chromium-nickel alloy shell (42XHM). The results of calculations of the relationship between engineering and physical parameters of the reactor, electricity costs and the payback period for investments are given.

Features and efficiency factors of the implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism of early degassing of coal seams

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.35-40

The implementation of an organizational and economic mechanism for early degassing of coal seams is an essential aspect of improving the safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability of the coal industry. Economic aspects show that with proper organization and modernization of degassing technologies, projects can be highly profitable, reducing costs through automation and the synergy of various methods. At the same time, significant investments require a balanced analysis and government support, which contributes to the development of safe and environmentally friendly technologies.
