In the context of increasing complexity of public governance mechanisms and the expanding involvement of non-state actors, the importance of analytical tools for assessing their contribution to the socio-economic development of territories is steadily growing. A specific place in this system is occupied by zemlyachestva (regional community associations), which represent a form of network-based civic self-organization and perform the function of transmitting regional economic interests beyond the borders of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Despite the growing practical significance of zemlyachestva, their activities remain insufficiently conceptualized from the perspective of managerial analysis of effectiveness and performance. The purpose of this study is to develop a managerial analytical framework for assessing the performance and efficiency of zemlyachestva as non-state actors involved in the transmission of regional economic interests within the public governance system. To achieve this goal, the article addresses the following objectives: conceptual differentiation between the categories of performance and efficiency as applied to the activities of zemlyachestva; justification of their specificity as a distinct type of network intermediary in regional development; and the development of a system of criteria and indicators for evaluating managerial outcomes. The methodological foundation of the study is based on the concepts of institutional economics and transaction cost theory, network governance and social capital theory, as well as tools derived from project and strategic management. The study applies an adapted version of the Logical Framework Approach (LogFrame) and SMART planning principles to the analysis of zemlyachestva as hybrid actors of public governance. As a result of the study, a multi-level analytical framework is proposed that enables the assessment of both the integrated performance and overall efficiency of zemlyachestva, taking into account their institutional, functional, personnel-related, and economic effects. The findings may be applied in regional governance practices and in the development of programs aimed at strengthening cooperation between public authorities and civil society institutions.

Given the challenging economic and political environment and the emergence of numerous new risks in business activities, the ability to operate smoothly and maintain an adequate level of economic security has become especially important for enterprises. To this end, it is necessary to develop a company risk management model that would most comprehensively cover all aspects of business activity. This article presents the developed company risk management model, which represents the foundation of its economic security. The model consists of nine blocks. It allows for the identification and assessment of company risks across various areas of its activities. Since the model is structured, the assessment results allow for the easy identification of bottlenecks in the enterprise's operations and timely implementation of appropriate measures.

The digitalization of education involves the active use of digital technologies at various stages of learning. Furthermore, digital teaching tools make the learning process engaging for students, which is especially important when learning foreign languages, where maintaining a high level of motivation helps students during the stages of progress and regression in developing communicative competence. This article examines the stages and principles of creating interactive spaces for dialogue simulators developed using VR technology. Dialogue simulators are a modern teaching tool that combines traditional teaching principles and modern technologies that facilitate additional practice of dialogic communication skills, the use of which helps maintain student motivation. The scientific novelty lies in examining the stages of creating dialogue simulator spaces from the perspective of pedagogical and technical technologies. This study reveals the importance of considering pedagogical design in the design of dialogue simulators.

The study analyzes the content and structure of the organizational and economic support system. By defining the mechanism, method, and tool, and establishing the relationships between them, it was possible to construct a model of the organizational and economic support system and describe its structure, thereby identifying the key challenges in the innovation activities of companies. Among the factors exerting pressure on the innovation mechanism of an industrial enterprise, special attention was paid to financing and the role of human resources, as they largely influence the effectiveness of innovation. The scientific novelty lies in the author's proposed structure for the organizational and economic support system for innovation, which integrates institutional, organizational, legal, economic, and managerial components within a single model. As a result, key internal and external factors determining the success of innovation were identified: financing, personnel qualifications, organizational structure, government support, market conditions, and scientific and technological progress. The need for an integrated approach to the formation of an effective organizational and economic mechanism in the context of digitalization and competition is substantiated.

The purpose of the study is to develop an updated model of an enterprise's innovation policy based on structuring its innovation potential and a comprehensive assessment, which together takes into account current economic development trends and directs the innovative activity of the entity in an effectively balanced direction. The scientific novelty consists in substantiating theoretical and methodological recommendations for the formation of an enterprise's innovation policy based on a cointegration assessment of innovation potential with the identification of appropriate links between its particular elements, which emphasizes the multicomponence of potential and the need to ensure a balanced position for the development and introduction of effective innovation policy. As a result of the research, the cointegration interaction between the elements of innovation potential is determined, which serves as the basis for updating the model of the subject's innovation policy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the main trends and identify key issues affecting the employment of foreign nationals in the regions of the Russian Far East. The study identifies regions that are "attractive points" for foreign workers, which is associated with the redistribution of investment in the Far Eastern regions. An analysis of changes in the structure of the foreign labor force revealed a shift in demand for migrant labor from Central Asian countries toward citizens from South Asia and ASEAN countries, specifically Vietnam, Indonesia, India, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Persistent issues affecting the employment of foreign workers include low skill levels; insufficient Russian language proficiency; stagnant levels of illegal labor migration; and the expansion of informal employment. The study presents current changes in migration legislation: several Far Eastern regions have introduced restrictions on the employment of foreign migrants for certain types of work.

The relevance of analyzing innovative approaches to education management in higher education is driven by the rapidly evolving digital transformation and the need to adapt to new requirements. Unlike traditional approaches, new forms of management in higher education are based on the use of artificial intelligence technologies and big data-based analysis methods, thereby enabling higher-quality training and competitiveness in today's labor market. The purpose of this study is to compare university management models and conduct a SWOT-analysis to identify the benefits and risks, as well as the strengths and weaknesses, of integrating innovative mechanisms into education management. The SWOT-analysis assesses the risks associated with integrating modern information and communication technologies into university practice (legal and ethical aspects, data security issues, etc.) and the benefits of using digital technologies to optimize educational activities and improve the quality of higher education.

This article examines the specifics of the creative potential of future art teachers in the context of mastering the concept of "ornament." The rhythmic alternation of elements of a decorative ornamental pattern primarily represents the organization of the expression of meaning or idea. Therefore, integrating knowledge of ornament into the professional training of visual-spatial arts teachers offers the prospect of developing systemic and creative thinking, compositional, coloristic, and graphic skills, establishing connections and building complex logical chains, and a non-trivial approach to solving pedagogical problems of varying complexity. The substantive and figurative forms of ornamental embodiment are reflected in the components of the spiritual sphere of human existence: in culture as a marker of ethnicity; in science as a structuring and harmonization of elements; in art as a marker of an artistic era and style. In art education, the concept of "ornament" acts as an active element in the development of the creative potential of art teachers. The obtained results reveal the special role of reflective activity in the context of mastering the concept of "ornament."
