The paper is dedicated to the innovative analytical research in the field of pneumatic separation concerning the issues of grain heap feed for harvester-thresher cleaning, composition of tailings and the amount of grain. The problem of improving the separation of air-sieve cleaning of modern combines is of great current interest. The cleaning design with the use of pneumatic and inertia separator of small grain heaps for high-producing harvester-thresher is developed. The engineering study is conducted for the installation of the 8-bladed rotor above the chaffer sieve for experimental cleaning taking into account dimensional limitations and minimal alteration of the current air-sieve cleaning. The results of the study show the opportunity of better operation of the design of small grain heap cleaning with the application of pneumatic and inertia separator. The developed solutions make it possible to reduce grain losses and increase the harvester-thresher productivity level, as a result of which it is expected to achieve the economic effect assessed in the study.
The research of the topical issue related to the improvement of air-sieve cleaning separation of the modern high-producing combine harvester is presented in the article. The calculation of economic efficiency of equipping combines with the suggested pneumatic and inertia separator is conducted in the paper. Research presented indicates the estimated efficient functioning of the cleaning design for small grain heap which helps to reduce grain losses and leads to the increase of combine harvester productivity.
The paper considers the customer-centric approach to the organizational culture of the university. The study of formation and development of customer-centric organizational culture of higher educational institutions as a factor of efficient social and economic development of the region is based on the designed diagnostic model of customer-centric organizational culture of the university encompassing the following group of components: degree of formation of customer-centric organizational culture at the university at various levels (ideological, regulatory, customer-facing); degree of students’ satisfaction; degree of students’ involvement in the organizational culture of the university and outcomes of the influence of the university organizational culture on them. The customer-centric approach is considered, first as the focus of each member (employee) on the consumer (assessment of the orientation level of each participant), second, assessment of the consumer satisfaction level, allows estimating the level of consumer-focus in general without an attempt to identify orientation of every individual participant. The process of creating the additional value covers all above-mentioned levels and cannot be created with only one without taking the other into account. Therefore, it is critical to collect and make the best use of information and both real and potential consumer services.
Purpose: The article highlights topical issues on the development of the social contract technology as a tool for stimulating entrepreneurial initiative of low-income citizens and the ways to address these issues. Design/Methodology/Approach: Present-day strategic priorities of socioeconomic development in a civilized State comprise, first and foremost, poverty reduction and promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises. The promising tool able to influence the achievement of the mentioned goals simultaneously is deemed to be such a technology of state social assistance as social contract with individual enterprise being one of its orientations. However, despite progressive opportunities, this social contract orientation has not become widespread in Russia yet, and the reasons for this state of affairs and prospects demand scientific justification. Findings: The necessity for formation and development of the targeted state assistance on the basis of the social contract technology in Russia taking into account the experience of other countries has been justified. The analysis of implementation of the social contract technology in practice has led to defining factors hindering its active application. Practical Implications: The algorithm of actions, implied by the social contract for aid recipients, and weak points of its implementation have been determined. Originality/Value: The authors have formulated proposals on further improvement of the social contract technology in terms of stimulating entrepreneurial initiative of low-income citizens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
