The paper provides the simulation of quantitative market risks assessment metrics Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall for a portfolio of eurobonds of Russian oil and gas companies, and for eurobonds of each particular company. As a result of the modeling, we noted an overall significant market risks` impact on the value of the analyzed securities and made a conclusion that it is impossible to completely neutralize the influence of market risks. In this regard, the author proposes and justifies the administrative and structural solutions and recommendations, the introduction of which will enable the eurobonds issuing companies to enhance investors` loyalty to their issues and thereby reduce their cost, i.e. mitigate the required investors` return (Value-at-Risk in this case acts as a risk-premium).

Nandrolone is an anabolic androgenic steroid. The use of this substance is prohibited by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). In National Anti-Doping Laboratory, we have developed method for quantitative determination of major nandrolone metabolite – 19-norandrosterone in human urine by GC/MS technique (Agilent 7000). Proposed method includes sample preparation of urine samples with enzymatic hydrolysis, liquid-liquid extraction followed by derivatization step with MSTFA. Deuterated 19-norandrosterone has been used as internal standard. Total run time comprised 16 min. Lower limit of quantitation accounted for 1 ng/mL. Spiked urine samples were prepared by mixing blank urine with standard solutions of 19-norandrosterone in range 1–30 ng/mL, correlation coefficient larger than 0.99. Method was verified to
following validation parameters: selectivity, linearity, repeatability, accuracy, matrix effect, stability and robustness. Furthermore, measurement uncertainty was estimated. Thus, proposed method is able to detect threshold 19-norandrosterone in human urine and carry out its quantitation conforming WADA requirements.

The article presents the results of a study conducted by the authors that continues to monitor the level of housing deprivation of the Russian population based on criteria standards. The scales of groups that differ in quantitative and qualitative parameters of housing conditions are identified, and estimates of the distribution of the population by the level of housing deprivation and monetary income are obtained. We have identified higher levels of housing poverty among the Russian population that exceed the level of monetary income poverty, as well as a significant number of population groups whose housing conditions do not meet the requirements of the criterion standard that determines the middle level of housing deprivation. Priorities for solving problems in the sphere of housing deprivation of the population are identified and mechanisms for their implementation are proposed.

Specific features of the emerging markets challenge the use of approaches designed for developed markets in emerging markets. Customer orientation as one of the key concepts of contemporary marketing requires a rethinking in the context of emerging markets. The purpose of the article is to develop a tool for a complex evaluation of the company's customer orientation level adapted to the Russian market. The empirical study includes mixed qualitative-quantitative design: at the first stage we conducted a quantitative survey with representatives of 239 companies operating in the Russian market, at the second - 62 in-depth interviews. For the analysis of quantitative data we used an explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As a result the four factorial scale model consisting of 14 indicators was obtained. Drawing on in-depth interviews analysis, the scale was supplemented by the indicators expressing the specifics of customer orientation on the Russian market.

Erörtert wird das aktuelle Problem der Verknappung der Arbeitskräfteressourcen sowie das gesamte Spektrum der Fragestellung zur quantitativen und qualitativen Ermittlung des Arbeitskräftebedarfs in der sowjetischen Wirtschaft. Effizienter Einsatz von Arbeitskräften trägt zur Steigerung der Arbeitsproduktivität bei, und somit zur Intensivierung der Produktion. (BIOst-Ldg)

Aufgezeigt werden charakteristische Merkmale der Entwicklungsvorgänge im Beschäftigungssystem anhand der quantitativen und qualitativen Veränderungen des Arbeitspotentials. Die Lösung des Beschäftigungsproblems im Sinne der effektiven Vollbeschäftigung ist mit Freisetzung von überschüssigen Arbeitskräften, mit Schaffung von neuen Arbeitsplätzen und mit Optimierung des Arbeitskräfteeinsatzes verbunden.
