Annotation: The progressive generation of anthropogenic wastes that degrade the biological viability of the carriers of the phenomenon of life is postulated. It is noted that the current level of waste recycling is 2 times lower than the threshold of sustainability with a progressive downward trend. The catastrophic situation with the disposal of the progressive volume of anthropogenic waste and attempts to resolve it indicate the failure of institutional functionalism. Therefore, the task is reduced to the management of the utilization of anthropogenic waste in socio-economic systems as carriers of institutional functionalism. In order to solve the problem, anthropogenic waste is defined as multicomponent, heterogeneous and anisotropic systems with physicochemical and biologi- cal chaos. The trend of transition of anthropogenic waste structures to the nanoscale level is revealed, which devalues the efforts to sel ect them. It is shown that the deposition and heat treatment of waste is another “multibillion dead end”, aggravated by the fundamental lack of scientifically substantiated permissible burdens on the phenomenon of life as a whole. Therefore, waste recycling is defined as a criterion for the resistance of the phenomenon of life to endogenous and exogenous disturbances. Recycling is implemented in the “Shapovalov model of nanodestruction”, which was awarded an international award back in 2009: “destruction of waste matter into nano-sized particles and the forming of a marketable product fr om it”. Waste recycling by nanode- struction forms a fundamentally new nature of social self-organization based on closed circulation of matter. Negative feedback is generated, compensating for the growth of waste by the growth of resource potential. The basis for the creation of highly efficient both production facilities and individual devices for recycling waste by nanodestruction is revealed. The tectonic democracy of equality of all in the eye of natural truths formed the basis of a scientific and methodological approach to waste recycling management in socio-economic systems by the circulation of matter. The proposed scientific and methodological approach initiates the resolution of the progressive degradation of the biological consistency of the phenomenon of life at the state level.

Annotation: The article provides a comparative analysis of the investment policies of the Russian Federation and a number of countries with significant experience in countering the sanctions regime in order to identify the key principles and mechanisms for successful adaptation of national economies to external restrictions. The cases of Iran, China, Myanmar, Venezuela and Russia are examined. It has been established that the key factors in economic sustainability under sanctions are geographical diversification of foreign economic relations, liberalization of economic policy to attract foreign investment, and balanced use of raw material exports. The analyzed success- ful strategies of the countries showed that their key elements were long-term planning, development of domestic production capacities and establishment of multilateral international partnerships. The practical significance of the obtained research results lies in the possibility of their application in the development of state policy to counter sanctions pressure, in particular, in the forming of a strategy for foreign economic activity, improvement of the investment climate, and determination of technological policy.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the theoretical conceptualization of data as a commodity. A comprehensive view of data is proposed: as a resource, a product, and a commodity. Special attention is paid to the economic nature of the data, identifying the essential characteristics of their usefulness and value. The author’s approach to data classification is proposed. The trend of data market forming is noted due to the spread of the view of data as a commodity. The main categories of consumers who are willing to pay for the data have been identified. The issue of Data Mining as a tool for processing data was raised. The role of Raw Data in creating data as a commodity with the highest value and usefulness for the con-sumer is emphasized. A debatable question about the attribu- tion of personal data to a product is presented. The statistical assessment of Russians’ willingness to share their personal data is analyzed. The main goals of companies in the use of data are studied. The desire of companies to integrate access to data from various sources in order to obtain different information for their activities is noted.

Annotation: The article analyzes the market of services for maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, describes the features of the activities of enterprises related to the nature of the services provided, requirements for the organization of work and interaction with the client base. Due to the high competition in the industry and the technological complexity of the operation of modern cars, the study presents an analysis of promising areas of activity in the market for maintenance and repair of motor vehicles. The level of demand for maintenance and repair of motor vehicles depends on both internal and external factors. Individual factors affecting demand are interdependent values, which has an increasing effect on the dynamics of demand. Since an enterprise for its normal functioning needs not implementation of well thought out and competently built marketing policy only in the area of online promotion and advertising, but also creation of a positive reputation based on positive customer reviews, the article presents an analysis of trends in the market of maintenance and repair of motor vehicles.

Annotation: In the context of globalization and technological change, the platform as a form of employment not only provides new employment opportunities but also poses a number of challenges to workers and the state, such as lack of stability, legal guarantees and social protection. The subject of research in this scientific article is the problems faced by employees and employers in the context of platform employment, as well as its impact on the labor market and legal regulation. The author analyzes the essence of platform employment, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as its impact on the labor market, which made it possible to identify key problems and develop directions for improving regulation of this area. The prospects for the development of platform employment in Russia are presented, which is important for the formation of effective government policy and protection of the interests of workers in the digital economy. As a result of the research, the understanding of platform employment as a new phenomenon in the labor market has been deepened, and an emphasis has been placed on the formation of a more effective and fair system of labor relations in Russia.
