On the Issue of Human Capital of the Working Older Generation of Modern Russia

Practice has shown that the onset of retirement and pre-retirement age in modern Russia adds new problems to the working older generation, caused by significant changes in lifestyle and new views on human labor activity. The implemented pension reform in Russia, which added five years to the day of retirement, significantly exacerbated the problems associated with the employment of people of retirement age. The article offers scientifically based recommendations for increasing human capital at the expense of the working older generation, taking into account regional and other characteristics. In modern conditions, human capital can play an important role in solving many problems during the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, especially in increasing the military-industrial potential of our state. In conditions of labor shortage, experienced personnel of engineers, technologists, managers can significantly strengthen Russian industrial and other enterprises

Standardization of studies on physical development of children in the Russian Federation

BACKGROUND:The importance of studying the growth and development processes of the child population is due to the significance of the pre-clinical approach aimed at primary disease prevention. AIM:To provide the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with standards for the physical development of children and adolescents aged 7–17years. MATERIAL AND METHODS:An analytical study was conducted, big data from the database “Physical Development of Children, Adolescents, and Youth of the Russian Federation in 2000–2021” were analyzed, containing 395,956observations of physical development (length and body weight indicators) of children, adolescents, and young people living in 49constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Priority was given to research in the constituent entities for which regional standards had never been developed or for which they were developed 15–20years or more ago. As a result, at least 2constituent entities were analyzed in each federal district. Big data processing using machine learning was carried out on the basis of the PostgreSQL database. A web application was created that implemented the functions of tabular display of data, construction of histograms with the ability to select parameters and subsequent data publication on the map of the Russian Federation. RESULTS:In Russia at the beginning of the 21st century, the characteristics of physical development of students living in diffe­rent constituent entities of the Russian Federation were established, which allowed us to talk about the presence of “regional scenarios” that must be taken into account when developing standards. At the age of 15, the range of average values of growth indicators for boys in the constituent entities ranged from 161.70±0.20cm in the Kursk Region to 174.55±0.40cm in the Krasnodar Territory (the difference was 12.85cm, p=0.001), for girls— from 154.60±0.50cm in the Republic of Tyva to 165.69±0.55cm in St.Petersburg (the difference was 11.09cm, p=0.001). The range of body weight of 15-year-old boys in the regions was from 50.17±0.70kg in the Kursk region to 66.00±0.80kg in the Khabarovsk region (difference 15.83kg, p=0.001), girls— from 46.90±0.60kg in the Chelyabinsk region to 58.40±0.70kg in the Khabarovsk region (difference 8.50kg, p=0.001). CONCLUSION:40regional standards for the physical development of the child population have been developed in a standar­dized manner, which allows taking into account regional characteristics and makes it possible to use them in practical healthcare in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

CIGS박막전지를 이용한 컬러BIPV 디자인 현황 및 사례고찰

This study examines the development status of domestic color solar cells and eight domestic and international application sites to overcome the limitations of early-stage BIPV modules that focus only on expanding and distributing power generation and do not meet various building regulations and rules, and to solve somewhat neglected building and cityscape problems. In addition, it analyzes its characteristics to improve the misconceptions and limitations of existing BIPV and to contribute to improving domestic architectural application conditions and future energy policies by reborn as a true product with the function of building exterior materials. In this study, it was found through domestic and international cases that the common feature of BIPV installation cases using CIGS thin-film cells is that BIPV is installed on the entire exterior of a building to meet power generation while pursuing consistency in the design of the exterior, and that CIGS modules satisfy most of the architectural functions that BIPV should have. In addition, although the inevitable efficiency reduction occurs when PV modules have color, it was confirmed that this is a part that must be tolerated to some extent in the comprehensive and combined sense that the ultimate goal of BIPV is to realize sustainable architecture by replacing existing building materials while generating energy. However, there are still many shortcomings in satisfying the color and size required in architecture, and the color that takes into account regional characteristics, so further technological development and advancement are needed.

Determinants of the morbidity of the rural population in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic: a regional aspect

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data from the Federal State Statistics Service, as well as statistical materials from the digest “Rural Healthcare in Russia in 2021”, provided by the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Russian Research Institute of Health” of the Russian Ministry of Health were the main sources of information for this study. Analytical procedures included Pearson correlation analysis, factor analysis (principal component method), hierarchical cluster analysis, multiple linear regression with backward elimination method for selecting variables. RESULTS: Six typological groups of regions of the Russian Federation were identified based on the variations in the morbidity rates of the rural population across certain classes of diseases including infectious and parasitic diseases, neoplasms, diseases of the circulatory system, diseases of the respiratory system, digestive system, and external causes. It has been established that there was a differentiation in the regions of Russia in terms of factors influencing the morbidity rate of the rural population by the main classes of diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Healthcare system, medical and social factors had the greatest impact on the overall morbidity in the regions of the fourth and fifth classification groups, on the detection of some infectious and parasitic diseases in the regions of the second, fifth and sixth groups, and respiratory and digestive diseases in the third classification group. The housing quality in the regions of almost all groups was one of the most significant social factors. Economic conditions had a significant impact on the incidence of infectious and parasitic diseases in the regions of the third and sixth groups, as well as on the level of injuries and some consequences of external causes in the regions of the first and third groups. Environmental factors were significant determinants of morbidity in the regions of the fifth group. At the same time, regression analysis showed associations between selected factors for all classification groups of regions for some infectious and parasitic diseases. The smallest number of models has been defined for the incidence of neoplasms and circulatory organs. CONCLUSION: Contribution of socioeconomic, demographic, environmental and natural factors to rural public health should guide the development of policies aimed at development of rural healthcare taking into account regional characteristics.

Main trends in providing medical personnel to the state healthcare system of the Russian Federation

The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in the provision of medical personnel to the state health care system during the implementation of state programs and national projects in the field of health care. Materials and methods. Statistical collections of the Ministry of Health of Russia for 2012–2023, regulatory legal acts, passport of national project. Methods of descriptive statistics and analytical were used. Results. A reduction in indicators of the supply of doctors, paramedical personnel and the ratio of doctor/nursing medical personnel and a discrepancy between their target values established in state programs and national projects for the development of healthcare was revealed. Differences in the values of target indicators of state programs and national projects have been identified. Conclusion. The need to take urgent measures to eliminate the reduction in the supply of medical personnel has been identified. Differences in the dynamics of staffing indicators indicate the heterogeneity of the level of development of regions and their preparedness for events within the framework of state programs and national projects to achieve target indicators. Measures are needed to eliminate territorial imbalances, as well as to search for mechanisms to equalize differences between the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Differences in the values of indicators for achieving the goals of state programs and national projects complicate their assessment and determine the need to form a hierarchy of state programs and national projects, as well as the development of scientifically based target indicators, taking into account regional characteristics and the needs of the population for medical care.

Analyzing Priority Management for Water Quality Improvement Strategies with Regional Characteristics

As the management areas for NPS pollution continue to increase, it is essential to conduct a situation analysis considering the regional characteristics and the scope of pollution reduction. In this study, the focus is on differentiating regional (urban, agricultural) characteristics to enhance water quality and reduce pollution loads in the increasing management areas for NPSs. Furthermore, priority management areas are identified based on urgency and vulnerability, and management strategies are proposed. The assessment involved evaluating both streamflow and water quality (T-P) using long-term monitoring data and watershed models (SWAT and HSPF) that take into account regional characteristics. The results indicated notable regional improvements, with T-P pollution reductions ranging from 20.7% to 26.8% and T-P concentration reductions ranging from 16.4% to 24.7% compared to baseline conditions in unmanaged areas. Based on these research findings, it is anticipated that the efficient and effective management of NPS pollution can be implemented on a regional basis. Moreover, the results of this study will not only contribute to the establishment of pollution standards, but also significantly impact the evaluation and proposal of management objectives, thereby making a substantial contribution to national water quality policies.

STATE POLICY TO COUNTER CRIME IN BORDER REGIONS IN A DIGITAL SOCIETY

Relevance. Crime in border regions poses the greatest danger to society and the state in the digital world. During the period of digitalization of society, the problem of criminal law risks with the use of information technology is becoming more dangerous, large-scale and intractable. As you know, the era of the dominance of digital technologies has not only positive consequences, opening up new opportunities for the development of society and the state, but also creates additional criminal threats to national security. In such circumstances, government policy is aimed at building an effective system of digital confrontation. In a digital society, the crime prevention system in the border regions of the Russian Federation, although based on the unified legal framework of state policy in the field of combating crime, cannot be the same for all regions of the country. Its construction should take into account regional economic, social, demographic, ethno-confessional, territorial, historical, cultural and national characteristics. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the scientific report is to summarize the criminal risks of digitalization for the national security of border regions and to analyze some areas of state policy in the field of combating crime in a digital society. To achieve this goal, the research uses methods of analysis and synthesis; generalization of expert opinions in various fields of science, materials of legal statistics and investigative practice; analysis of messages in mass media; dialectical and sociological methods. Conclusion. The digitalization of society is associated with an increase in the number of criminal law risks in all areas of public life. At the same time, the development of digital technologies also affects the successful organization of preventive activities within the framework of public policy. The use of achievements in the field of digital technologies makes it possible to significantly improve the criminal procedure and penal enforcement policy of

Is biorefinery establishment enhancing the EU labour market on a regional level?

ABSTRACT The deployment of biorefineries as part of the European Union’s Bioeconomy Strategy aims at contributing to the transition to a climate-neutral economy and creating jobs and growth in rural areas. In this study, we examine the impact of biorefinery establishment on the EU labour market, using the quasi-experimental method difference-in-differences (DiD) by accounting for regional characteristics at the NUTS-2 level. The findings demonstrate that introducing biorefineries to a region can create additional employment opportunities, particularly in primary production and logistics activities. However, the results do not show significant differences in regional gross value added compared with regions without biorefineries. To maximise the positive impact of biorefineries, options for a more tailored and equitable approach are suggested, taking into account regional characteristics.

МЕХАНИЗМ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОГО КАПИТАЛА РЕГИОНА

Effective management of the region’s intellectual capital requires a well defined structure in which all elements are interconnected and regional characteristics are acknowledged. The study aims to develop a mechanism responsible for the intellectual capital of the region. The subject of the study is the intellectual capital of the region. To achieve the aim, the study examines various interpretations of the concept of intellectual capital, with the components of intellectual capital indicated. The influence of intellectual capital on the sustainable development of economic entities is revealed. The study identifies priority areas for supporting the development of regional intellectual capital, such as basic components and components of infrastructure capital. In the Pskov Region, a list of enterprises that form the intellectual capital of the region, which is considered a leading factor in production, is formed. The dynamics of indicators of the components of intellectual capital in the Pskov Region is presented. Theoretical and static methods for processing research data are used. The ambiguity of scientists’ views is revealed through an analysis of their approaches to the formation of the region’s intellectual capital. The authors proposed a mechanism responsible for the intellectual capital of the region in the form of a closed effective interaction of elements of the capital structure, with regional infrastructure playing a significant role. The study focuses on the need to develop innovative approaches to improving intellectual capital. The concepts of intellectual capital and intellectual capital of the region are compared. It is noted that the concept is not unambiguous, since it does not determine how many components of intellectual capital, in addition to the basic ones, should be taken into account. The ambiguity of the concept predetermined differences in the mechanisms responsible for intellectual capital. The mechanism responsible for intellectual capital proposed by the authors clearly shows the interconnection of all its elements, taking into account regional characteristics.

The aim of the article is to develop scientific and methodological tools for studying risks in the context of transferring the powers of management of municipal educational organizations to the regional level. The relevance of the study is explained by the need to study the risks that may arise in the context of the transfer of powers of school management to the regional level, and to develop appropriate methodological tools from the perspective of regulatory legal acts in terms of strengthening the role and responsibility of public administration in Russian schools. Based on the analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, conclusions were drawn about the scarcity of aspects of the methodological substantiation of optimal organizational and managerial models for the transfer of municipal educational organizations to the regional level, as well as scientific and methodological support, resource provision, taking into account regional characteristics and risks of relevant management processes. The main results obtained by the author have theoretical significance in terms of presenting a classification of possible risks of regionalization of the general education system in the following areas: transformation risks, project risks, management risks, organizational risks. The practical significance is to develop an approximate road map to minimize the risks of transferring powers to manage schools to the regional level. Directions for using the main research results in practice are presented.

Psychological and pedagogical strategies for forming a healthy lifestyle in Uzbekistan

The study analyzes the influence of climatic conditions and socio-economic factors on the health of the population of Uzbekistan with the aim of developing and justifying a model of health-improving measures adapted to local conditions. The study used quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveying and interviewing 800 respondents, statistical data analysis, and modeling the long-term effects of health-improving measures. The results showed that regions with a moderate climate have better health indicators, and the level of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) differ significantly between urban and rural areas. The effectiveness of the developed programs, including physical exercises, dietary recommendations, and psychological support, was confirmed by improved health indicators in the experimental group. The main barriers include insufficient public awareness and limited access to medical services. Modeling showed that the integration of climatic factors and modern health improvement methods significantly improves health indicators. The novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive approach that takes into account regional characteristics and modern scientific achievements to improve public health.

ЕДИНАЯ КАДРОВАЯ СЛУЖБА И ЦЕНТРАЛИЗАЦИЯ КАДРОВЫХ ФУНКЦИЙ В ОРГАНАХ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ВЛАСТИ СУБЪЕКТОВ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

The professional community has actively discussed the feasibility of centralizing personnel functions and creating a unified personnel service for executive authorities of the Russian Federation's constituent entities for more than 5 years. More than 20 constituent entities of the Russian Federation have already taken real steps in this direction and have received a positive effect from centralization. The subject of the study is the practice of centralizing personnel functions and the experience of forming unified personnel services in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation using the example of the Tula and Voronezh regions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results and assess the feasibility of introducing centralization of personnel work/personnel functions in public authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is due to the need to find an effective organizational model of personnel management in the state civil service in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, ensuring the efficiency and customer focus of personnel processes, as well as taking into account regional characteristics. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the identification and substantiation of organizational mechanisms for the centralization of personnel work, and the conditions for their implementation: the possibility of using a unified information system, introducing uniform standards of the personnel cycle, etc. The need for centralization of personnel functions is argued as a strategic direction for the development of the state civil service of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The research used survey methods, questionnaires, comparative analysis, content analysis, modeling, and studying best HR practices. Based on the results of the paper, goals, requirements for the centralization of personnel functions, and expected efficiency were determined. The materials of the article will be useful to personnel services of regional executive authorities for understanding the importance and necessity of centralization for solving a significant set of problems: from increasing the level of methodological support for personnel work, reducing unproductive losses, increasing the professional level of personnel and solving priority problems in the field of effective personnel management.

НОВЫЕ ПОДХОДЫ К ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ПО ПРЕДОСТАВЛЕНИЮ СОЦИАЛЬНО-МЕДИЦИНСКИХ УСЛУГ ИНВАЛИДАМ ПОЖИЛОГО ВОЗРАСТА НА РЕГИОНАЛЬНОМ УРОВНЕ

The subject of the study is new approaches to organizing activities to maintain health and provide social services to disabled elderly people and technologies for their implementation at the regional level. The purpose of the paper is to analyze activities to maintain health and provide social services to disabled elderly people and to develop new regional management approaches. The relevance of the study is determined by modern trends in state social policy aimed at significantly increasing support for citizens with particular social vulnerabilities, which include elderly people with disabilities. The prerogative of responsibility for the provision of medical and social services to these categories of the population belongs to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty lies in substantiating the priority importance of integrated social and medical services based on interdepartmental interaction and taking into account regional characteristics. One of the research results is an original innovative model of the mechanism for applying new management technologies for organizing integrated social and medical services to disabled elderly people at the regional level, developed by the authors. The conclusion is made about the need to streamline the activities and their control in terms of providing guaranteed and paid medical care and medical and social services to disabled elderly people by amending the current legislation (drafts of relevant amendments have been developed), as well as introducing new organizational and management tools proposed by the authors.

Normative and registration functions of the dictionary of toponyms

The instability and lack of uniformity in the spelling of toponyms in both official and informal communication poses a significant social concern in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The nominative function of geographical names is directly associated to their stable orthography. However, currently, there exist inconsistencies and significant discrepancies in the spelling of toponyms in official documents and reference books, including the state register, that are responsible for registering the correct spellings of geographical objects. This increases errors in all areas where this vocabulary is used. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that standardisation of proper names, including toponyms, is understudied in modern linguistics, and there is an urgent need to develop the principles of strengthening the spelling and pronunciation of names of geographical objects, in particular oikonyms, taking into account regional characteristics. The aim of the work is to consider the problems of standardising the oikonyms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in various normative and reference sources and suggest ways of their registration in the toponymic dictionary in accordance with language rules. The article analyses the main types of spelling errors made in the existing toponymic sources and suggests strategies for choosing the spelling of geographical names. The complicated cases of fused/separate and hyphenated spelling, the choice of letters e/ ё, the use of lowercase or uppercase letters in compound words, as well as the discrepancies in choosing a grammatical gender of an oikonym are considered. The article describes the ways of standardising all the listed cases as well as spelling options used in the ‘Dictionary of Toponyms of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia): Settlements’ and suggests the options for their standardisation.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN AGRI-FOOD PRODUCTS IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL PECULIARITIES AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

This paper examines world trade in agri-food products in the context of international economic integration. This is due to the importance of foreign trade for the economic development of countries, especially in the context of globalisation, the increase in the number of integration groups whose participation affects the terms of trade of their member and non-member countries, and the aggravation of the food crisis. The purpose of this article is to identify the state and trends of world trade in agri-food products, taking into account regional characteristics and the participation of countries in integration groupings, and to determine their role in the future. Methodology. The research is based on a comparison of parts of individual regions and integration groups in world trade, identifying trends and features. The publication uses the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparative assessment, and graphical methods, in particular, to identify the main trends, draw conclusions, etc. Results. The study shows that world trade in agri-food products is growing significantly, both globally and by region. The countries of Europe and the Americas are the main exporters, but the countries of Asia, South and Central America and Africa are the fastest growing exporters. However, the main suppliers remain the member countries of the most advanced integration groupings - the European Union, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). It is proposed to divide the main exporters into regions, integration groups and countries. The issue of food security is one of the most important in modern conditions and within the integration groups. It is advisable that they contribute to some extent to solving this problem at the regional level and in relation to third countries. To this end, it is advisable to develop measures to provide food aid to countries affected by natural disasters, climate change or other adverse circumstances on several fronts: within integration groups, in the region and at the global level. These groups are expected to remain among the largest suppliers of agri-food products in the future, and one of the main reasons for this is their participation in integration groups, which facilitates the liberalisation of the movement of new technologies, in particular to the agricultural sector.
