RESEARCH PROSPECTS AND MANAGEMENT HORIZONS OF SYSTEM ECONOMICS by G. Kleiner

“…Thereby, all major components of the economy are included into a single conceptual model of the economy functioning. The mission of the system economics under this approach is in performing the role of a single theoretical platform for the evolution of economic theory, economic policy, economic practice and the sphere of economic management.The article presents a structural scheme of the system economics theory genesis; it shows differences of the system economics theory from neoclassical, institutional and evolutionary theories according to such features as the analysis basic unit and the main, from the point of view of this theory, type of relations between agents. …”

[Palladium-decabismuth(4+)]-tetrakis(tetrachloridoaluminate) Cluster Compound, [Pd@Bi₁₀][AlCl₄]₄: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Electronic Stru... by S. M. Gayomi K. Samarakoon, Sviatoslav Baranets

“…Bonding and charge analysis reveal unoptimized Pd–Bi and strong Bi–Bi covalent interactions consistent with electronegativity trends and the previously reported host–guest model. Electronic structure calculations performed with the TB-LMTO-ASA program show that [Pd@Bi₁₀][AlCl₄]₄ exhibits semiconducting behavior, suggesting a bandgap opening of 0.71 eV.…”

Cyclo-coherent Approaches to the Management of Bifurcation States of Aggregate Economic Systems in the World Economy in the Conditions of Nonlinear Cyclic Dynamics by E. L. Loginov, A. A. Shkuta, V. E. Loginova, D. D. Sorokin

“…Purpose: the main goal of the article is to study the possibilities of increasing the sustainability of world economic development to the crisis fluctuations of national economies and their aggregated groups under conditions when the fluctuations induced in the global crisis by the global crisis manifest coherence features. Methods: the analysis of coherent interaction processes of a set of discrete macroeconomic cycles is performed to compare the individual data of managed economic systems with the possibilities of regulating the degree of coherence of fluctuations of key processes in the national economy. …”
