Use of Methods of Decision Theory for Choosing the Optimal Strategy for Medicines Purchases 

a Donetsk National Technical University, b Sevastopol State University
Abstract. The article considers the organization of optimal procurement of medicines for pharmacies with a decentralized management option. Simulation statistical models are presented for inventory management system with a fixed order size and fixed order frequency. Collection of the data that reflect pharmacy operation in terms of its financial indicators dynamics depending on various alternatives for organizing procurement and characterizing profits and costs of each strategy proposed is organized using simulation models. The simulation results are summarized in a utility matrix. Matrix rows correspond to the strategies possible, and columns correspond to financial indicators with criteria they should strive to identified per indicator. The methods of decision theory are applied to identify the best strategy with varying probabilities. The test results are shown, which demonstrated that almost all the methods applied pointed to the same strategy.

Resource Support for Urban Development 

Donbas National Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture
Abstract. In the article, from the perspective of a systematic approach, the concept of the urban environment is considered as a set of elements connected and interacting on a certain administrative division of the city’s territory, which, under the influence of external and internal factors, form and develop a system of productive forces. Key resources are identified that ensure the development of the urban environment in the form of territory, natural and environmental resources, resource and production factors that determine the nature of the interaction of counterparties within the economic complex of the city. The characteristic features of the modern stage of development of urban areas are revealed: increased competition, leveling of traditional advantages, large-scale informatization and digitalization of space, which requires appropriate approaches to developing development strategies aimed at the rational use of existing opportunities with maximum attention to the image component.
Keywords: urban areas, city, resources, urban development.

Energy-Saving Building Innovations on Energy Efficiency Market 

Donbas National Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture
Abstract. Based on the economic and statistical analysis of data from the World Meteorological Organization, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and others, the state and prospects for the development of renewable energy were studied. The article focuses on the use of innovative renewable energy technologies, since these areas are the most promising in the structure of solving the energy efficiency of buildings and structures. Rising primary energy consumption and limited hydrocarbon (oil and natural gas) reserves, coupled with the growing anthropogenic pressure on the environment due to the use of coal as the main fuel, have forced the world community to rethink approaches to their country’s energy security. On the threshold of the transition of the world economy to a new technological order, new trends in energy are emerging, based on the rational and careful use of available natural resources and the search for new sources of energy. The dynamic development and adoption of renewable energy technologies is one of the most significant trends in the development of world energy.
Keywords: energy security, intellectual efficiency, renewable energy, wind and solar energy, investments, energy conservation, energy consumption, innovative technologies.
