The article examines a possible nuclear attack as a civil problem of managing super-large organizational systems. The key tool for structuring the problem is agent-based modeling. Calculations show that even in case of a nuclear attack, the Russian Federation ensures its infrastructural and institutional stability, maintaining all control levers in the loop of state stability and life support for the population while solving the problems of necessary support for defence and security functionality. In this case, a difficult question arises: at what cost?

The article dwells on the features of demand management in the medical products mark et from the standpoint of clinical marketing. The factors that determine demand at each level are described and t ypical tools of influence are proposed.
Using the scalar multiplication formula, the author proposes an algorithm for forecasting demand and contribution of each marketing tool, which helps to optimize the marketing budget. It is shown that demand management tools in the medical device market can be classified according to the type of impact and the nature of the influence on demand.

The purpose of this study is to identify future prospects for development of the pharmaceutical industry in the Russian Federation, based on Indian experience. Today, India is the «world’s pharmacy», producing a wide range of drugs: from original ones to generics and vaccines. The country’s success is in full production cycles.
Russian pharmaceutical industry is going through difficult times today: geopolitical uncertainty, sanctions pressure, currency growth — all this has a negative impact on the industry’s development. Another feature of the development of the pharmaceutical industry in Russia is the focus on importing both raw materials and finished products. The state is gradually moving away from this trend, trying to build progressively a model of its own production, and in the future, focus the industry on exports. If this trend continues, Russian pharmaceutical industry will be able to reach a new level in the coming years and provide the domestic market with drugs of its own production.

The author explores and compares relationship between the energy industry and economic growth of China and Russia through the cointegration equation and the VECM model. The results prove that China’s energy production hasn’t got any long-term or short-term impact on GDP fluctuations and growth, while oil and natural gas consumption has a long-term impact on GDP growth, coal and natural gas consumption has a short-term positive impact on GDP growth. Energy production and consumption in Russia have an impact on GDP growth. Production of renewable energy, coal and natural gas as well as consumption of coal and natural gas have long-term equilibrium effects on GDP growth, while production of coal and natural gas as well as consumption of coal, oil and natural gas cause short-term positive fluctuations in GDP growth.

Civilization development reveals a continuous dialectical process of cause-effect cognition of phenomena in all spheres of life.
Unlike observable Cause and Effect, the cognition process requires modern tools of observation and analysis. The synthesis of methods and models for studying cause-effect homeostasis endows the tools with the third component — intelligence, transforming the phenomenon into a dialectical triad.

The purpose of the present study is to identif y the specifics of using the world capital market by developed and developing countries in modern conditions. It has been established that the interests of developed countries consist in shaping a controlled international financial market that will ensure long-term and low-volatility returns on assets without taking into account the interests of other entities in the global capital mark et. The interests of countries with developing economies are reduced to ensuring maximum return on assets in the shor t-term period, since in the long term they cannot compete with developed countries in the global financial mark et. Based on econometric calculations, it was made an assessment of the effects of growing investment returns in developed and developing countries due to the presence of competitive advantages in the global capital market. It is concluded that the global capital market is used by developed and developing countries in different ways — the former seek to ensure preservation of their privileges through exploiting global imbalances, the latter — to gain access to borrowed capital in order to stimulate their own economic development. Disproportions in the use and regulation of the global capital market lead to dependent position of developing economies, which is why they are striving to transform the global financial architecture to protect their own national interests.

The author examines a “geodesic” model of the country’s socio-economic space, based on analogues of the geographical concepts of parallel and meridian as structural landmarks for an object’s location in the socio-economic space. The role of parallels is played by socio-economic strata, combining trajectories of the possible movement of agents without significantly increasing their status in the economy and society. The role of meridians is performed by routes that determine the possibilities of increasing the agent’s status without significantly changing the nature and location of his professional activity. This model can be used for navigation of socio-economic agents when moving in space, as well as for identifying current directions of socio-economic policy aimed at increasing the continuity and coherence of the socio-economic space of Russia. The geodesic model of socio-economic space, based on a grid of parallels and meridians, allows scaling and application not only to country systems, but also to other hierarchical socio-economic systems, including enterprises, cities, and sectors of the economy.
