INSURANCE COMPANIES AS PRODUCERS OF INVESTMENT FINANCIAL SERVICES

Introduction. Insurance companies are among the largest investors in countries with developed insurance markets. At the same time, it is legitimate to consider them as institutional investors. In today's conditions, foreign insurance companies demonstrate the intensification of life insurance, which, in turn, determines the need to improve existing insurance products and/or introduce non-traditional products, which include investment life insurance. The latter are a popular instrument in the market of insurance and investment services, primarily due to the combination of such features as insurance protection and profitability. The successful operation of life-insurers in a constantly dynamic and competitive environment is associated with their ability to quickly respond to the challenges of the external and internal environments, and not only to adapt to them, but also to use new circumstances for increasing the competitiveness and capitalization of the company, as well as preserving and expansion of own client base. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the activity of insurers as institutional investors, on the one hand, and their ability to produce investment financial services, in particular investment life-insurance services, to identify the attributes of the latter, differences from classical life insurance and outline the prospects for the development of investment-oriented life insurance on the domestic insurance market. Results. It is identified the features of the functioning of insurance companies as institutional investors. The definition of “investment potential of an insurance company” was defined and deepened. The specifics of investing insurance reserve funds and investment opportunities for non-life and life insurers are argued. Modern trends in the development of the life insurance market and, accordingly, the latest formats in the management of assets of life insurers have been revealed. The specifics of investment life insurance are clarified and its attributes are formulated. The differences between classic mixed life insurance and investment life insurance are systematized according to the following criteria: motivation for concluding the contract; placement of insurance premium; the principle of calculating insurance premiums; obligations of the insurer; the amount of the redemption amount; the possibility of receiving additional payments; the dynamics of increasing the premium reserve. Trends in the development of investment life insurance in Europe and on the Polish insurance market have been analyzed. Conclusions. Modernity requires the implementation of the latest approaches to the activities of insurance companies, in particular in the area of production of investment financial services, namely investment life insurance. Classical standards in life insurance are gradually being abandoned, which contributes to the dynamic development of insurance worldwide, which provides for the payment of insurance coverage depending on the dynamics of stock values. The need to develop investment life insurance on the domestic insurance market – a financial instrument that embodies both insurance protection and an accumulation opportunity with the help of investments – has been proven.

Performance and labor conditions of physiotherapists in Brazilian intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic. What did we learn?

To describe the role of physiotherapists in assisting patients suspected to have or diagnosed with COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive care units in Brazil regarding technical training, working time, care practice, labor conditions and remuneration. An analytical cross-sectional survey was carried out through an electronic questionnaire distributed to physiotherapists who worked in the care of patients with COVID-19 in Brazilian intensive care units. A total of 657 questionnaires were completed by physiotherapists from the five regions of the country, with 85.3% working in adult, 5.4% in neonatal, 5.3% in pediatric and 3.8% in mixed intensive care units (pediatric and neonatal). In intensive care units with a physiotherapists available 24 hours/day, physiotherapists worked more frequently (90.6%) in the assembly, titration, and monitoring of noninvasive ventilation (p = 0.001). Most intensive care units with 12-hour/day physiotherapists (25.8%) did not apply any protocol compared to intensive care units with 18-hour/day physiotherapy (9.9%) versus 24 hours/day (10.2%) (p = 0.032). Most of the respondents (51.0%) received remuneration 2 or 3 times the minimum wage, and only 25.1% received an additional payment for working with patients suspected to have or diagnosed with COVID-19; 85.7% of them did not experience a lack of personal protective equipment. Intensive care units with 24-hour/day physiotherapists had higher percentages of protocols and noninvasive ventilation for patients with COVID-19. The use of specific resources varied between the types of intensive care units and hospitals and in relation to the physiotherapists' labor conditions. This study showed that most professionals had little experience in intensive care and low wages.

УДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ СИСТЕМИ МОТИВАЦІЇ ТА СТИМУЛЮВАННЯ ПРАЦІ НА ОСНОВІ ОЦІНКИ РІВНЯ ЗАДОВОЛЕНОСТІ НЕЮ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

The article proposes ways to improve the system of motivation and work stimulation in the medical institution based on the results of assessing the level of satisfaction of employees. The evaluation of the level of satisfaction of employees with the system of motivation and labor incentives showed that employees are not completely satisfied with it. Thus, only 20% of respondents were completely satisfied with it. Among the methods of financial and material stimulation, the majority of employees recognized traditional stimulation in the form of a high level of wages in the first place, and in the second place – additional benefits from the institution: payments for education, trainings, seminars, medication, rest. Also, employees expressed a desire to increase the level of motivational influence of monetary incentives in the form of additional payments for the achieved performance indicators. Among the types of non-monetary financial incentives, employees voted for having their own sports and health center. Based on the assessment, policies for improving the system of motivation and labor stimulation were developed. The introduced scale of allowances for achieving high indicators according to the criteria of labor and innovative activity was presented. Labor activity criteria characterize the quality of performance of professional duties by a medical worker. The criteria of innovative activity characterize the intentions of employees regarding their professional development, as well as innovative effectiveness in the form of the number of proposals made and implemented in the medical institution where a particular employee works. When implementing the proposed incentive scales based on the criteria of labor and innovative activities, it is possible to make the remuneration dependent on the level of achievement of indicators for each of the activity groups. Also, according to the evaluation results, it is proposed to open a sports and health center, which is a non-monetary incentive for employees and shows that the management of the institution cares about the health of employees, which is an important motivating factor. Thus, improving the system of motivation and stimulation of work based on the assessment of the level of satisfaction of employees will contribute to the hospital obtaining various types of effects, namely: economic, organizational-management and social, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the analyzed institution.

Эвакуированное чиновничество Царства Польского в политике Временного правительства и большевистского Совнаркома в 1917 г.

The article investigates the efforts made by Russian ministries to assist civil servants who were evacuated during the liquidation of Russian state institutions in the Kingdom of Poland, which began in 1917. The position of the evacuated Polish bureaucracy regarding their entitlements is examined, along with the arguments presented by Polish officials who demanded additional payments, while portraying themselves as victims of tsarism. The article notes that the national identity of Polish civil servants became more pronounced following the February Revolution of 1917, and the bureaucratic corporation became fragmented due to political processes. The Soviet authorities no longer considered them as victims of tsarism. In January-February 1918, local councils began to terminate payments of wages and benefits to the employees of evacuated institutions based on a decree issued by the SNK. The article concludes that the collapse of the Russian Empire had a significant impact on the situation of specific nationalities and professional groups, and the evacuated Polish bureaucracy attempted to utilize political slogans of the revolution to serve their own material interests.

Risk Adjustment And Promoting Health Equity In Population-Based Payment: Concepts And Evidence.

The objective of risk adjustment is not to predict spending accurately but to support the social goals of a payment system, which include equity. Setting population-based payments at accurate predictions risks entrenching spending levels that are insufficient to mitigate the impact of social determinants on health care use and effectiveness. Instead, to advance equity, payments must be set above current levels of spending for historically disadvantaged groups. In analyses intended to guide such reallocations, we found that current risk adjustment for the community-dwelling Medicare population overpredicts annual spending for Black and Hispanic beneficiaries by $376-$1,264. The risk-adjusted spending for these populations is lower than spending for White beneficiaries despite the former populations' worse risk-adjusted health and functional status. Thus, continued movement from fee-for-service to population-based payment models that omit race and ethnicity from risk adjustment (as current models do) should result in sizable resource reallocations and incentives that support efforts to address racial and ethnic disparities in care. We found smaller overpredictions for less-educated beneficiaries and communities with higher proportions of residents who are Black, Hispanic, or less educated, suggesting that additional payment adjustments that depart from predictive accuracy are needed to support health equity. These findings also suggest that adding social risk factors as predictors to spending models used for risk adjustment may be counterproductive or accomplish little.

Направления совершенствования региональной политики в сфере социальной поддержки населения Волгоградской области

The social sphere of Volgograd region is characterized by the following indicators. The subsistence level is the smallest among the regions of the Southern Federal District. The expenditures of the budget of the Volgograd region for the social policy in the period under analysis were constantly increasing. The main recipients of payments in the region are labor veterans, low-income families, regional labor veterans and families with many children. A certain system of social guarantees was developed in the Volgograd region, and a whole package of measures exists to support citizens of various categories. The current social policy in Volgograd region is imperfect and is characterized by the following problems: low allowances for low-income families, lack of introduction of new payments to needy categories of citizens, and inaccessibility of support measures for certain categories of citizens. To solve the problems of low allowances for children from poor families, it is necessary to increase the number of allowances for children by making the difference between families, taking into account the deficit in the cash income of families. The absence of the introduction of new additional payments to certain categories of citizens is solved by their introduction by determining the categories of citizens most in need of them. The problem of accessibility of receiving social support measures can be solved by creating a mobile group, a separate structural unit based on the centers of social protection of the population operating in the region. The general recommendation is to develop further the region’s economy by stimulating the creation of new enterprises and supporting the existing ones.

Authorities and competence of local government bodies in the field of guardianship and care of adults in Ukraine

This article describes the powers and competence of local self-government bodies in the field of guardianship and care of adults in Ukraine. The existing legislative regulation of the organization and activity of local self-government bodies as bodies of guardianship does not fully resolve the issue of determining the legal status of such bodies in general and their socio-economic role in the researched area in particular. Guardianship and guardianship bodies remain impersonal and undefined in the structure of local state authorities and local self-government bodies, which is a significant obstacle on the way to achieving the goal of guardianship and guardianship. The legislative basis and practical organization of the activities of local self-government bodies during their exercise of powers of guardianship and care over adults are characterized. Relevant duties have been defined and analyzed, which, based on the results of the study, are proposed to be classified into three main groups: 1) to ensure, protect and defend the rights and legitimate interests of adults who need guardianship or care; 2) from the control and supervision of the activities of other than the guardianship and guardianship bodies of subjects of guardianship and guardianship (guardians, custodians and special institutions); 3) from control and supervision of property preservation and property management of persons under guardianship and care). One of the economic components of the role of local self-government bodies in the person of their executive bodies in the context of the issue of guardianship and care of adult incapacitated persons and persons whose legal capacity is limited is the exercise of relevant powers by employees of these bodies at the expense of salary funds without additional payments purely for the management of guardianship matters and care of adults. Based on the content of the powers of the guardianship and guardianship bodies, these bodies, in the manner determined by them, must also control the guardianship and guardianship of adults by special institutions.

To the issue of overtime work under the labor law of Ukraine

The article examines issues of labor legislation of Ukraine in connection with the involvement of employees in overtime work. The object of scientific research is the duties of employees determined by their work function, as well as the duties that employees are obliged to observe due to compliance with the rules of industrial sanitation, hygiene and occupational health and safety. At the same time, the authors substantiate that compliance with such duties, in particular in the case before the beginning of the working day (shift) or after it ends, is not overtime work and cannot be paid in a double amount, as it is provided for this type of work. For this purpose, the authors analyze the domestic legislation on overtime work, while special attention is paid to the grounds and conditions for involving employees in this type of work.
 They do not overlook the legislation on labor remuneration, in particular, the expediency of providing in the collective agreement additional payments to employees for the performance of duties that precede the beginning of the working day (shift) and the performance of duties after their completion is substantiated. The subject of the study is also the question of establishing such obligations by acts of a local nature. At the same time, the authors prove that employers are able to attract employees to work before the beginning of the working day (shift) or after it ends. However, employers must provide for such obligations by acts of a local nature, primarily by internal work order rules. This will contribute to employees' compliance with labor discipline and may serve as a necessary basis for bringing them to disciplinary responsibility in case of unwillingness to perform such duties, or their improper performance. The article ends with short conclusions reached by the authors based on the analysis of domestic legislation and case law materials.

Features of the institutional approach to analysis of the pronatalist policy

The paper considers the possibility of applying institutional approach to analysis of the pronatalist policy. The pronatalist policy creates space for institutions that should contribute to achievement of its goals, namely, raising the birth rate. However, the consistent application of the institutional approach has shown the absence of institutions with necessary for these goal parameters such as addressee, regulation, object, conditions and sanctions. Institutional impact should be focused on a target group of people and its characteristics. Depending on the groups' age, it should ensure a new parental status for young people aged 20 to 35 or birth of children in a certain order. Given this evidence for focusing on specific recipients and digitizing this process, an examination of their impact upon the effectiveness of pronatalist policy measures seems warranted. Considering the real, rather than conditional generation, we analyses the dynamics of the number of women and the age-specific fertility rates among women aged 20 to 34. It allows assessing the potential for growth in the birth rate in this real generation and predicting the required level of age-specific fertility rates in the next time period. The paper proposes a model for analysis of statistical data, which requires further verification on a larger array. The author also makes an attempt to model a new institution within the pronatalist policy — the institution of potential parents. As possible sanctions for violation of institutional norms by potential parents, it is proposed to use the mechanism of lost profits, that is, a reduction in additional payments and privileges from the state with an increase in the protogenetic interval.

WHO GETS HOSPICE VISITS AT THE END OF LIFE: A LOOK AT MEDICARE'S HOSPICE SERVICE INTENSITY ADD-ON POLICY

Abstract In 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Service Intensity Add-on (SIA) payment for the Medicare Hospice Benefit. The SIA incentivizes direct patient care by registered nurses and medical social workers during the last seven days of life through additional payments to hospices. We examined 100% of Fee-for-Service Medicare hospice claims in Fiscal Year 2020 to determine whether SIA utilization varies by patient and hospice characteristics. Using hospice level fixed-effects regression, we examine the associations between SIA utilization and various beneficiary and hospice characteristics. Relative to beneficiaries with cancer as a principal diagnosis, we find that other diagnoses are associated with only a slight reduction in SIA utilization (a reduction between 0.6 and 1.1 percentage points - where the average SIA utilization overall is equal to 85.3%). Those identifying as black had a reduction in SIA of 1.3 percentage points compared to those identifying as white. Compared to a patient dying on a Sunday, a patient’s death on Tuesday through Friday was associated with a higher likelihood of SIA (between 9.7 and 11.6 percentage points more likely) and more SIA minutes (between 29.9 minutes and 36 minutes). All reported results were statistically significant at the 0.1% level. Based on these results, we find that SIA utilization varied by certain characteristics. As a result, CMS should continue to monitor rates of SIA utilization to better understand whether any patient groups appear to be underserved at the end of life.

An Analysis of Shopee Pay Later Transactions Based on the Qard Theory

The Shopee application offers a 'pay later' payment mode known as Shopee Pay Later (SPL) and features four payment options, which are buy first and pay the total price of the goods purchased at a later date or payment made in installments over two, three or six months with accompanying charges. This transaction raises the question of whether SPL complies with the Qard Theory in fiqh muamalat. This is because qard is a loan that needs to be repaid to the creditor without any additional payment or charges. Therefore, this study aimed to study the 'pay later' buying and selling method based on the Qard Theory. This qualitative study used the document analysis method involving documents, such as books, articles, journals, newspapers and so on as well as the Federal Territory Fatwa for examining the SPL method. Data were then analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. Results of the study show that the SPL method is not permitted in Islam because the charges involved are deemed to be a form of usury (riba). This is because the 'pay later' method is not in accordance with the Qard Theory in Islam. This study provides knowledge to Muslim Shopee users about payment methods that are permitted and those that are prohibited in Islam.

VAT Treatment of Non-Fungible Tokens

In this article, the author analyses the VAT treatment of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which is an innovative service within the e-commerce industry. VAT faces different challenges when it comes to taxing e-commerce transactions, and in order to have certainty on the tax implications it is important first to understand the business itself. The sale of NFTs might trigger additional payments, such as gas fees, royalties and marketplaces fees, which is addressed by the author in this article.

A Survey on the Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic at Construction Sites

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial disruptions and hardships across nations and industries. Like others, the construction industry has also been impacted by the pandemic in a number of ways. Reported adverse impacts include significant delays in projects, failure to deliver materials on time, decreased productivity rates, and increases in material prices. Declining revenues and increasing project delivery difficulties due to the current crisis have also affected the industry. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic at the construction sites from the perspective of the employer, contractor and the employees. A survey has been conducted with the construction professionals to explore the measures taken against the pandemic, how these measures were financed, suspensions, delays, disruptions, non-payment and cash flow issues, employee motivation, procurement and recruitment problems, interpretation of the force majeure clauses in the contracts, extension of time and additional payment claims arisen due to the pandemic. The findings are expected to be useful to all construction industry stakeholders and researchers for identifying the prominent problem areas and seek relevant solutions to decrease the adverse effects experienced during the pandemic.

Designing mechanisms for crowdsourced urban parcel delivery

ABSTRACT This paper presents a mechanism design-based approach to tackle the crowdshipping problem in which a delivery service provider (DSP) solicits ordinary individuals, termed crowdsourcees, who use their limited available time to perform urban parcel delivery. The DSP collects private information from crowdsourcees while assigning shipments to minimize the cost of delivery. Given that crowdsourcees may strategically misreport private information, the assignment is devised with a payment rule to incentivize truthful reporting. . Doing so requires additional payment to crowdsourcees, whose asymptotic properties are investigated. We extend the static mechanism to a dynamic case by performing assignment periodically and examine the bounds for periodicity. Numerical results show that the proposed mechanisms will likely reduce shipping cost compared to three alternative scenarios: 1) no such mechanism is in place; 2) the DSP pays crowdsourcees at a fixed rate; and 3) truck-only delivery. Several additional insights from the mechanism implementation are further obtained.

Implementation fidelity in a multifaceted program to foster rational antibiotics use in primary care: an observational study

BackgroundThe ARena study (Sustainable Reduction of Antimicrobial Resistance in German Ambulatory Care) is a three-arm, cluster randomized trial to evaluate a multifaceted implementation program in a German primary care setting. In the context of a prospective process evaluation conducted alongside ARena, this study aimed to document and explore fidelity of the implementation program.MethodsThis observational study is based on data generated in a three-wave survey of 312 participating physicians in the ARena program and attendance documentation. Measures concerned persistence of participation in the ARena program and adherence to intervention components (thematic quality circles, e-learning, basic expenditure reimbursements, additional bonus payments and a computerized decision support system). Participants’ views on five domains of the implementation were also measured. Binary logistic and multiple linear regression analyses were used to explore which views on the implementation were associated with participants’ adherence to quality circles and use of additional bonus compensation.ResultsThe analysis of fidelity showed overall high persistence of participation in the intervention components across the three intervention arms (90,1%; 97,9%; 92,9%). 96.4% of planned quality circles were delivered to study participants and, across waves, 30.4% to 93% of practices participated; 56.1% of physicians attended the maximum of four quality circles. 84% of the practices (n = 158) with a minimum of one index patient received a performance-based additional bonus payment at least once. In total, bonus compensation was triggered for 51.8% of affected patients. Participation rate for e-learning (a prerequisite for reimbursement of project-related expenditure) covered 90.8% of practices across all intervention arms, with the highest rate in arm II (96.5%). Uptake of expenditure reimbursement was heterogeneous across study arms, with a mean rate of 86.5% (89.1% in arm I, 96.4% in arm II and 74.1% in arm III). Participants’ views regarding participant responsiveness (OR = 2.298) 95% CI [1.598, 3.305] and Context (OR = 2.146) 95% CI [1.135, 4.055] affected additional bonus payment. Participants’ views on participant responsiveness (Beta = 0.718) 95% CI [0.479, 0.957], Context (Beta = 0.323) 95% CI [0.055, 0.590] and Culture of shared decision-making (Beta = -0.334) 95% CI [-0.614, -0.053] affected quality circle attendance.ConclusionThis study showed an overall high fidelity to the implementation program. Participants’ views on the implementation were associated with degree of intervention fidelity.Trial registrationISRCTN, ISRCTN58150046.

The Effectiveness of Bonus Payment as a Financial Incentive for Top Management

Employees are important for the company’s success. Top management not only performs functional duties, but also makes strategic and operational decisions. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of bonus payments as a means of material motivation on the top managers’ performance. The authors of this study surveyed 147 top managers of 70 Ukrainian IT product companies using a pre-developed questionnaire. The method of pairwise comparisons was used to establish the priority forms of motivating and demotivating factors. The impact of payment of material incentives in the form of bonuses to top managers on the achievement of such performance indicators as company profit, total revenue, ROI, performance indicators of individual departments and personal performance indicators of top managers was established and confirmed. There is a 96% correlation between the amount of additional bonus payments and the motivation of top managers. The reliability of the regression model of the impact of additional bonuses on the level of motivation of top managers is 92%. The results indicate the ability of company owners to influence the motivation of top managers through the introduction of bonus payments or increasing their size. A high level of efficiency of bonuses as financial incentives to motivate top managers to achieve the established KPIs has also been established and proven. The vast majority of top managers are willing to increase the number or value of already established KPIs to receive additional bonuses. The results of the study confirm the importance and effectiveness of financial incentives for top managers.

Результаты оценки опасности производственной деятельности персонала компрессорных станций магистральных газопроводов

During gas transportation operations in extreme low-temperature natural and climatic conditions of the Far North, one of the urgent issues is the assessment of the probability of personnel death in the event of emergencies and occupational diseases during regular operation when operating the technological equipment of the compressor stations of main gas pipelines. The article discusses the results of an assessment based on the developed methodology for calculating integral indicators of the risk of damage to the life and health of employees of the compressor stations of main gas pipelines in the conditions of the Far North, aimed at ensuring the safety of personnel in the workplaces. When creating the methodological approach, specific features affecting the level of safety of life and health of personnel were considered, such as: microclimate, the mechanism of brittle destruction of equipment metal, temperature inversion, prolonged exposure to aggregates noise, etc. To determine the influence of each of the listed factors, a single criterion for assessing damage to the health of personnel (days of under-living) located directly at the investigated hazardous production facility (compressor stations of main gas pipelines) was selected and justified: machinists, automation and metrological support fitters, repair fitters. Based on the statistical data, the damage of under-living to retirement age is determined, adjusted for the conditions of the Far North in the event of the death of an employee of each profession in the event of an emergency at a compressor station. Further, in the range from the beginning of employment to the estimated age of death calculated above, the damage from occupational diseases is determined. These provisions of the methodological approach for assessing the cumulative damage to health allowed to develop recommendations for calculating insurance payments in the event of the death of an employee, calculating additional payments for harmful and hazardous working conditions and design changes in the form of the use of special coatings for pipelines for reducing the occupational risk of personnel of the compressor stations of main gas pipelines in given conditions.

Procedure for consulation of notarial procedure for acceptance of cash amounts and securities in the deposit: the need is perfectly

The article reveals the procedure for consular notarial proceedings on the deposit of money and securities, analyzes its stages and stages and systematizes all procedural actions of the consul, which he performs at each stage, taking into account the rules of notarial acts. In the first stage, the consul identifies the person who transfers the money and securities on deposit and who will receive these valuables, the purpose or obligation for which the contribution is made, the reasons for which the obligation cannot be fulfilled directly by the debtor., checks the availability in the application of information on the total nominal value of securities accepted on deposit, if they are issued in documentary form and the correctness of payment of the consular fee. The second stage is to keep the consul on deposit of money and securities, but this process requires additional payment, because it is impossible to determine in advance when the creditor will apply for their transfer. However, the procedural actions of the consul at this stage are not regulated at all by the Law of Ukraine «On Notaries» and the Regulation. The third stage of this proceeding is the issuance to the creditor of sums of money and securities at his request. The fourth stage of repayment to the debtor is not mandatory and takes place if the creditor has not received the funds or securities, or refused to receive them, or the place of residence or whereabouts of the creditor is unknown to the consul. Refunds and securities may be returned only with the consent of the depositor (creditor) or by court order. The debtor’s request for the return of sums of money and securities and the creditor’s consent to their return must be set out in writing. Such systematization of the consul’s actions will have a significant impact on the legality of his activities, in particular, there will be no grounds for appealing to the court. The author’s proposals to improve this procedure by amending the procedure for notarial acts in diplomatic missions and consular posts of Ukraine and correctly determining the size of the consular fee in the Consular Fee Tariffs will be important for the best protection of the rights and interests of individuals and legal entities in the host country consul.
