Research implications. It consists in identifying the key problems hindering the development of the sphere of social service, as well as identifying the development trends, the implementation of which will contribute to solving the problems under consideration.
Aim. To identify the effectiveness of the current environmental taxation in Russia, analyze the experience of other countries and offer recommendations for development in this direction.
Methodology. The dynamics of Russia’s positions in the Global Innovation Index (GII), including in terms of resources and innovation results for 2015-2020, is considered. It shows that Russia has fallen lower in some positions compared to previous years. Stimulation in eco-innovation is most often supported by a system of tax incentives. It is cheaper for some enterprises that pollute the environment to pay a fine than to invest in eco-technologies. Therefore, in Russia it is necessary to quickly introduce a new environmental tax according to the principle “whoever pollutes the environment more, pays ten times more tax.” The article uses a comparative method, the method of arithmetic differences, elements of predictive analysis.
Results. Based on the analysis of environmental taxation in Russia and abroad, the author identifies principles that can become the foundation of a new effective system of environmental taxation in Russia.
Research implications. To achieve the goal, the theoretical aspects of environmental taxation were considered and an assessment of existing environmental taxes was carried out. It has been proven that an effective environmental tax should encourage an enterprise to invest in innovative eco-technologies to protect the natural environment. The new mechanism for regulating the use of natural resources will be able to solve many problems and move Russia away from the emerging global threat, thereby increasing the country’s well-being and creating better environmental conditions for future generations.

Aim. The article considers the task of studying the human component as a security subject from the point of view of sociology, identifying behavioral aspects, identifying links with security and formalizing management procedures.
Methodology. The authors used mathematical tools in the field of the theory of boundary value problems. These problems can be presented in the form of a system of differential equations.
Results. On the basis of the conducted research, the directions of interaction of two complex systems are formulated: personnel and protection systems. Social aspects of personnel activity in the form of some quantitative assessments (expert) are included in partial differential equations describing the situation in a complex system of personnel taking into account security threats. The solution of the boundary value problem is obtained in the format of a certain distribution of the totality of threats according to the topology of the object of protection, which is taken into account when forming the aviation security system of the object of protection.
Research implications. In this work, for the first time in civil aviation, an attempt is made to investigate the issues of aviation security with social aspects taken into account. In order to confirm the results obtained, experimental modeling of hypothetical security threats was carried out in the format of a boundary value problem using the MATLAB system. The simulation results confirmed the fundamental possibility of solving the problem by the proposed method.
Aim. The article considers the problem of managing the increase in the efficiency of the operating cycle of an industrial enterprise based on the management of financial assets that ensure its functioning.
Methodology. When conducting the study, the authors used a system analysis as the main method, which allows us to consider the process of changing the duration of the operating cycle of a modern industrial enterprise in a comprehensive manner, taking into account its industry characteristics.
Results. In the course of the conducted research, it was revealed that, taking into account modern industry trends, the increase of the operating cycle efficiency at an industrial enterprise can be achieved through the introduction of modern resource management practices, as well as through the introduction of advanced information technology solutions. The implementation of measures to automate and digitalize key operational processes allows an industrial enterprise not only to promptly take the deliberate production, financial and marketing decisions, but also to increase the operational efficiency and the level of production safety.
Research implications. The authors of the work, based on the features of the development of modern industrial enterprises, proposed an economic justification for the impact of the efficiency of the operating cycle on the planned indicators of the development of the given enterprise. Based on the analysis, the factors influencing the duration of the operating cycle of enterprises are identified. The introduction of modern asset management systems can provide the company with control and reduction of not only financial costs, but also external environmental burden.
