Classical assembly line balancing (ALB) models assume constant cycle times during production. However, this assumption oversimplifies the actual situation, especially in small batch production of up to a few hundred units, since employees can significantly improve their performance thanks to the learning effect, causing task times to decrease. Several researchers have realised the importance of the effect of learning in ALB. However, only a limited number of papers have so far addressed this issue. This is problematic, since ignoring the learning effect in ALB may lead to inaccurate results and by extension misleading conclusions. This study summarises the main contributions in the field of ALB that focus on the learning effect. First, assembly lines (ALs) and ALB problems are characterised. Next, the importance of the learning effect in ALB is highlighted, and the main learning curve (LC) models are introduced. Finally, an exhaustive review of the main contributions in the field of ALB and learning effect is provided. The results highlight that many problems in this area need to be investigated further, in relation to both conceptual model building and the development of algorithms for solving practical size problems.

The environmentally conscious consumption of fashion products promotes the preservation of natural ecosystems for current and future generations. It may include the purchasing and use of textile products made from organic and sustainable materials, the repair, reuse and recycling of textile products, and the concept of slow fashion. The environmental aspects of fashion products have drawn the attention of both researchers and practitioners in recent years. As a result, many scientific papers have accumulated regarding this vital aspect of consumer behaviour. This paper aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding consumer behaviour toward green fashion products, as well as to uncover and categorise significant driving factors, and in addition, identify the most critical barriers. After identifying the relevant literature, the study examines 104 articles published between 2011 to 2021 in high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly journals. Our results demonstrate that while most of the reviewed articles employ a quantitative survey questionnaire method to identify the drivers of green textile consumption, qualitative approaches are also used. Most authors utilise the theory of planned behaviour as a foundation of their research. This paper summarises the research problems covered by the selected articles, the theoretical frameworks, the methods used, and their essential findings. We also outline existing research gaps and suggest potential directions for future research. Since there are only a few review articles on green fashion consumption, our article provides an important new addition to the literature for the reference of future scholars.

In recent decades, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have significantly evolved, further establishing the information society. However, ICT systems are subject to security incidents, and most malicious attacks have cascading effects. Decision-makers need to understand the potential financial effects of incidents if they wish to clearly perceive the potential risks and thus make an appropriate allocation of resources to ICT security.Our research attempts to develop a comprehensive toolset for the analysis of cybersecurity incidents. The toolset is based on conventional methodologies of cash-flow evaluation and balance of payments. We discuss several use cases of real-world examples with incidents affecting essential service providers and manufacturers. The case studies involve incidents affecting energy service providers, banks, water utilities, aircraft manufacturers, car manufacturers, IT software providers, air, rail, and water transport companies, the pharmacy, and the health sector. Analysis of the incidents involves our framework being applied at three levels: organisational, governmental, and international.

Food consumption is one of the most significant contributors to global environmental problems being responsible for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions, water scarcity, and soil pollution, among others. The demand for unsustainable food contributes to the food sector's environmental burden. Consequently, there has been a surge in research on green food consumption in the last ten years. Still, our understanding of green food purchase behavior is rather rudimentary and needs a comprehensive view. For this reason, the current study aims to understand green food purchase behavior through a literature review approach. The study explored and analyzed relevant theories and determinants in explaining green food purchase behavior. Additionally, the study also investigated the literature to identify research suggestions given by authors to improve future studies. The current review applied key term searches on the "Web of Science" database to find related literature. The search results found 69 articles published between 2015 and 2021 in peer-reviewed English-language journals. The findings include important descriptive bibliographical analysis and patterns and trends in green food consumption. Additionally, the research identified categories of determinants explaining green food purchase behavior. The review summarized the suggestions given by scholars in the literature to help future researchers for improvement.

In recent years, researchers have sought to specify precisely what is meant by the ecological footprint, and there are some methods for calculating it. This paper features a new calculation method for determining the ecological footprint (EFP). The basis of our model is the dynamic Leontief model. If our method is applied, one can determine that a dynamic ecological footprint is a sequence of footprints for periods. We also calculate the ecological footprint for both closed and open economies. Our model contains elements taken from the Leontief model: capital accumulation, and integration of exports and imports into the model through input-output panels. All periods are treated as interdependent, rather than as a series of stand-alone data. Most notably, the model separates capital accumulation from the final use of capital, i.e., investment and final consumption. We illustrate the results with numerical examples.

The rate of economic growth is largely determined by the level of investment activity, as well as by the scale of investment activity, the expansion of which requires an increase in investment and its efficiency. Objective economic and statistical assessment of investment provides an opportunity to analyze the results of the process of management of this sphere of activity. The purpose of the work is to investigate changes in the composition and structure of investments, factors influencing and limiting the growth of their funding sources, as well as to analyze the dynamics of investment activity in the Russian Federation in recent years on the basis of data from the Federal State Statistics Service. The paper provides definitions of investments and considers their types. In the course of the study, the authors applied such scientific methods as structural and dynamic data analysis, theoretical research in the form of generalization, comparison and special analytical procedures. The results obtained can be used to prioritise investment management and management decisions.

There is a recent trend towards increasing the role of an organisation’s intellectual capital as a critical resource, success factor and asset that contributes to added value creation and increased capitalisation. As an intangible value driver of potential benefits and competitive advantage, an organization’s intellectual capital and its human, structural and relational components need multidimensional study to determine the drivers of its development. From the perspective of the resource-based approach, an organization’s intellectual capital is a unique, non-borrowable resource that determines the attainability of a firm’s competitive advantages. From the perspective of the knowledge theory of the firm, intellectual capital as the sum of relationships, management and knowledge, the bearers of which are employees, plays a crucial role in shaping the innovation capacity of the organisation, a source of invention and strategic innovation. The purpose of this study is to identify the factor of development of intellectual capital of the organisation from the perspective of social psychology. Due to the fact that human capital develops in the conditions of creative satisfaction, self-actualisation, selfaccomplishment and self-fulfilment of the employees as well as in their communication in the process of interaction in a certain structural and functional environment, conducive to the development of new concepts, technologies, intellectual property and improvement of relations with all stakeholders of the organisation, the author analyses the personal characteristics of the organisation employees, in particular the emotional and cognitive competencies that form the ability to consciously evaluate and prioritise their goals, strengths and weaknesses, to effectively achieve professional growth by reflecting and regulating their thoughts and feelings in the process of professional interaction. The paper presents the results of a survey of consulting company employees to determine the importance of emotional competencies as the most important intangible asset of a consulting business. The author concludes that emotional intelligence, as a socio-psychological phenomenon, requires both the attention of the leaders of the organisation and further study, as emotional competencies of employees are a factor in the development of their creative, leadership and innovative initiatives, increasing the effectiveness of organisational culture and relationships with stakeholders.

The purpose of the work is to study the features of the implementation of control activities in the digital environment and the directions of its improvement. The authors consider the need to implement the transition to “smart” state financial control (electronic SMART control [controlling]), based on a risk-oriented approach aimed at improving the quality of the effectiveness of control measures, reducing the burden on the controlled environment, identifying significant violations and risks. The article analyzes the most common software products designed to automate the processes of drawing up, analyzing and executing budgets at all levels, providing the opportunity to work in the mode of no communication with the financial authority, providing detailed information, which makes it possible to simplify control and increase its efficiency. The main stages of the development of control activities in the context of digital transformation are considered, indicating the implementation of some areas of improving the quality of control of the budget process and the effectiveness of public finance management in 2022, the formation of an integrated and coherent program for the introduction and implementation of electronic control, designed for the period up to 2027. The expediency of using the State Integrated Information System “Electronic Budget” (SIIS “EB”), which is a subsystem of information and analytical provision and support of users with the necessary information and means of analysis and reporting, designed to make reasonable and informed management decisions, is substantiated. On the example of the Republic of Mordovia: the practical experience of carrying out control and audit activities with the help of SIIS “EB”, the target of which is to increase the efficiency of financial and budgetary supervision, is considered; a plan for the implementation of control activities through the use of a single portal of the budgetary system, based on the compilation of electronic accounting documents and their subsequent transfer of the results to the audited object, is developed. The normative acts on internal and external state (municipal) financial control and financial audit are investigated. The following methods were used in the course of the work: synthesis, analysis, classification, detailing, comparison. The practical significance of the results lies in the theoretical justification of the need to improve control in the field of public administration, which provides the controllers (auditors) with the possibility of remote work with information about the functioning of facilities and obtaining detailed data. It is aimed at building and promoting more advanced preventive mechanisms in the field of public finance, contributing to the intensification of digital monitoring on the basis of a single electronic platform.

This study explores the role of questioning in social adaptation and manipulation. The article considers how language plays a crucial role in shaping the way we ask and answer questions and whether intellectual growth can be driven by questioning. The impact of cultural diversity on questioning, including the ways in which different cultures approach questioning and whether this affects social adaptation and manipulation, is highlighted. Some teaching tools that can be used to help individuals develop their questioning skills are discussed, as well as the importance of grammar when asking different types of questions. There are references to the philosopher Socrates, who famously used questioning as a means of teaching, and the relevance of his approach in modern society is considered. Additionally, the author touches on the intersection of questioning and sociology and suggests techniques to be used by interviewees to answer tricky questions.

The subject of the study is human capital — the most significant resource in the business of organizations, both in terms of cost and value and in terms of impact on the result, and therefore having an increased risk factor due to the potential failures as a result of its changes. There are two principal ways of forming the human capital of an organization: recruitment — attracting candidates from the labor market with the required level of competencies; development — training (retraining) and improving the competencies and professional development of the existing employees. The author proposes to consider the possibility of using a product approach in the work of HR in general and in the process of the formation of the human capital of an organization in particular, to ensure the greatest efficiency and focus on the results through rapid adaptation in the face of sudden unpredictable changes. Considering the applicability of the product approach, the author compares it with the process and project approaches. The relevance of this work lies in the fact that despite a certain interest, of both theorists and practitioners, there is currently a lack of scientific research into the use of the application of the product approach specifically in the field of human capital formation. The purpose of the work is to investigate the possibility of applying the product approach to the process of forming the human capital of an organization from both the theoretical and practical sides, using the example of the largest FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies in the Russian market. Achieving this goal is possible by solving a number of tasks, such as: studying the theoretical base related to the description of the product approach; comparison of the product approach with the most common approaches in the organization of labor — process and project; studying the practical application of the product approach in business in general and in HR in particular. The research methodology is based on general scientific methods: synthesis, analysis, and comparison. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study is the understanding of the conditions of the application of the product approach and its attributes in various business areas. The empirical framework is based on a content analysis of publicly available literature, publications, and studies of consulting companies on the topic of the product approach, available in the public domain. Research results. The results obtained made it possible to explore the possibility of applying a product approach to the process of forming the human capital of an organization using the example of the largest FMCG companies in the Russian market, as well as to develop practical recommendations for transforming the structure and work of the HR department in accordance with the product approach.

There are two principal ways of forming the human capital of an organization: recruitment — attracting candidates from the labor market with the required level of competencies; development — training (retraining) and improving the competencies and professional development of the existing employees. The author proposes to consider the possibility of using a product approach in the work of HR in general and in the process of the formation of the human capital of an organization in particular, to ensure the greatest efficiency and focus on the results through rapid adaptation in the face of sudden unpredictable changes. Considering the applicability of the product approach, the author compares it with the process and project approaches.
