Air Asia Indonesia Tbk. actually made money between 2020 and 2022.

Disparities in National Cancer Institute and Nonprofit Organization Funding Disproportionately Affect Cancers With Higher Incidence Among Black Patients and Higher Mortality Rates.

National Cancer Institute (NCI) and nonprofit organization (NPO) funding is critical for research and advocacy but may not be equitable across cancers. This study evaluated funding from the NCI and NPOs supporting lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, prostate, ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and melanoma from 2015 to 2018. The primary objectives were to assess for funding disparities across different cancers compared with their incidence and mortality and across racial groups. We also determined if underfunding correlates with fewer clinical trials. Correlations between funding for each cancer and its incidence, mortality, and number of clinical trials were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients (CCs). Diseases with the largest combined NCI and NPO funding were breast cancer ($3.75 billion in US dollars [USD]) and leukemia ($1.99 billion USD). Those with the least funding were endometrial ($94 million USD), cervical ($292 million USD), and hepatobiliary cancers ($348 million USD). Disease-specific funding correlated well with incidence but correlated poorly with mortality (Pearson CCs, 0.74; P = .006 and .30, P = .346, respectively). Breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma were well-funded while colorectal, lung, hepatobiliary and uterine cancers were underfunded. Higher incidence among Black patients correlated with underfunding. The amount of funding for a particular cancer correlated strongly with the number of clinical trials for that disease (Pearson CC, 0.91; P < .0001). Many cancers with high incidence and mortality rates are underfunded. Cancers that affect Black patients at higher rates are also underfunded. Underfunding strongly correlates with fewer clinical trials, which could impede future advances in underfunded cancers.

Irrigation of the Volga Region: A Difficult Path to Victory over Drought and Crops Failures (On the Example of the Construction of the Kutuluk Irrigation System in 1935–1941)

The article presents the results of a study of the history of construction and operation of the Kutuluk irrigation system, which was part of the irrigation project of the Volga region, developed in the early 1930s. It was the most complex and large-scale construction of the period of industrialization in the Middle Volga region, which lasted almost seven years (1935–1941). Tens of thousands of people from different regions of the country took part in it. Thanks to the hard work and heroic efforts of the builders, the facility was built and successfully operated in the future for fifty years. In the most difficult and responsible period (1938–1939), construction work on the Kutuluk River was headed by A. E. Bochkin, a well-known hydraulic engineer who later supervised the construction of the Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power plants. The introduction of the practice of irrigation of arid lands allowed not only to overcome the problem of regular droughts and crop failures, but also to raise the agriculture of the Kuibyshev region to a new level. The conducted research is based on published and unpublished sources, most of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. First of all, these are archival documents from the funds of organizations that supervised the construction of the Kutuluk irrigation system, periodical press materials, resolutions of the Soviet government, as well as clerical documents of regional and local authorities. The purpose and content of the study correspond to the subject area of socio-economic and environmental history of Russia. Its results will preserve the historical memory of the people who built the water management facility, which for a long time was of great importance for the economy of the region and the life of the local population.

Analysis of Disparities in the Initial Health Care Response to the February 2023 Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

This study analyzes disparities in initial health care responses in Turkey and Syria following the 2023 earthquakes. Using Humanitarian Data Exchange, Crude Mortality Rates (CMR) and injury rates in both countries were calculated, and temporal trends of death tolls and injuries in the first month post- catastrophe were compared. World Health Organization (WHO) Flash Appeal estimated funding requirements, and ratios of humanitarian aid personnel in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams per population from ReliefWeb and MAPACTION data were used to gauge disparities. 56 051 096 individuals were exposed, with Turkey having 44 million vs 12 million in Syria. Turkey had higher CMR in affected areas (10.5 vs. 5.0 per 10,000), while Syria had higher CMR in intensely seismic regions (9.3 vs. 7.7 per 1,000). Turkey had higher injury rates (24.6 vs. 9.9 per 10 000). Death and injury rates plateaued in Syria after 3 days, but steadily rose in Turkey. Syria allocated more funding for all priorities per population except health care facilities' rehabilitation. Turkey had 219 USAR teams compared to Syria's 6, with significantly more humanitarian aid personnel (23 vs. 2/100,000). Significant disparities in the initial health care response were observed between Turkey and Syria, highlighting the need for policymakers to enhance response capabilities in conflict-affected events to reduce the impact on affected populations. The 2023 Turkish-Syrian earthquakes, the most devastating in the region since 1939, heightened challenges in Syria's health care system amid ongoing conflict, disrupting Gaziantep's humanitarian aid supply route. The initial health care responses post-earthquakes in Turkey and Syria were analyzed through a descriptive study, where Crude Mortality Rates (CMR) and injury rates during the first week were calculated. The World Health Organization's funding priorities and the ratio of humanitarian aid personnel in Urban Search and Rescue teams per population were assessed. Turkey had 4-fold higher earthquake exposure and experienced higher CMR and injuries per population, while Syria had higher CMR in intensely seismic regions. Temporal trends showed plateaued death and injury rates in Syria within 3 days, while Turkey's continued to increase. Syria required more funding across nearly all priorities while Turkey had more humanitarian aid personnel per population. Significant health care response disparities were observed, emphasizing the imperative for policymakers to enhance initial responses in conflict-affected events.

Supporting organizations to improve migrants’ access to health services in New York City

PurposeTo survey community-based migrant-serving organizations (MSOs) in New York City (NYC) regarding their early experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and perspectives on academic collaborations. MethodsWe developed and emailed a survey via Qualtrics (12/2020-1/2021) to 122 MSOs in NYC collecting data about the organizations; challenges posed by COVID-19; and interest in potential intersectoral collaboration. Descriptive analysis focused on the pandemic's impact on service provision, type of MSO, and organizational capacity. ResultsThirty-eight MSOs participated (RR=31%). COVID-19-related challenges included limited staff capacity, organizational funding, and technological and resource limitations of communities served. Organizational capacity correlated with types of services offered: smaller organizations offered health and social services, while larger organizations focused on education and employment. MSOs indicated interest in collaboration on migrant policy advocacy and communications, access to interns, and resources regarding best practices and policies. ConclusionsMSOs in NYC have struggled with funding, staffing, and service provision. They specified fruitful areas for collaboration with academic research institutions. ImplicationsDevelopment of an academic-based migrant health resource hub will serve an identified need among MSOs in NYC.

ПРАВОВАЯ ПРИРОДА И ВИДЫ КОРПОРАТИВНЫХ ЦЕННЫХ БУМАГ ИНОСТРАННЫХ ЭМИТЕНТОВ

It is necessary to recognize that today investments are an integral part of developed market economies and are implemented within the framework of investment legal relations. Especially relevant in the last decade is the issue of investing in foreign financial instruments in the form of securities. Russian investors are seeking to diversify their portfolio, increasingly preferring financial instruments of foreign issuers. The current legal regulation allows purchasing the securities on global financial markets, but servicing outside the Russian legal framework entails serious risks for potential investors. It should be noted that among the many varieties of securities, corporate securities play a special role, they “complement” the purpose and essence of securities with another aspect – managerial, in other words, the acquisition, possession and sale of corporate securities, for example, shares, are a mechanism for managing a legal entity as a corporate organization. It should also be noted that corporate securities of foreign issuers play an important role in the economic system, since their turnover acts as a means of involving free funds of citizens and organizations in financial life, prevents the “stagnation” of capital. The presented article defines the legal nature and legal characteristics of certain types of corporate securities of foreign issuers, and formulates the author’s conclusions and individual proposals for reforming Russian legislation

ФІНАНСОВИЙ МОНІТОРИНГ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ МІНІМІЗАЦІЇ ТІНЬОВОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ

Considering the realities of today and the military situation in Ukraine, the state cannot afford for the economy to work in a negative direction. When armed aggression is carried out against our state, all taxes must work exclusively for victory, therefore, control over the receipt and use of funds of taxpayers, international organizations and national governments must be carefully monitored to avoid their embezzlement. Financial monitoring is the most effective mechanism for controlling financial transactions, therefore, improving the approaches to the work of entities is fundamentally necessary to increase the flow of funds to the state budget and reduce abuses in financial transactions. Granting the status of a subject of state financial monitoring to the State Tax Service of Ukraine (hereinafter -DPS of Ukraine) will introduce completely new approaches in the fight against economic offenses, including economic crime. The presence of a large number of information databases with their filling in the DPS of Ukraine with the provision of a participant of the state subject of financial monitoring will allow to reduce the impact on the state budget of Ukraine of tax evasion and avoidance schemes, namely: offshore schemes, conversion centers, entanglements, gray imports, smuggling and others, which will positively affect the development of the economy and the reduction of economic crimes. The enforcement of new approaches in the new subject of financial monitoring will provide opportunities for a more thorough analysis of clients by banking institutions and will improve the intra-bank monitoring system.

Аналіз експертних оцінок результативності реформи системи охорони здоров’я України

The effectiveness, completeness, and timeliness of measures to reform the health care sector can be assessed differently by individual stakeholders, such as specialists, scientists, experts, and the public. Each of these interested parties has its own priorities regarding the results of reforming the medical industry. Despite this, the comparison of different evaluation points of view makes it possible to generalize the available results and to develop further steps to improve the operating conditions of the medical field. The results of the office analysis of data collected during 2020-2021 by WHO experts regarding the state of the Ukrainian primary medical care system were analyzed. Assessments of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, experts, specialists regarding the positive and negative results of reforming the medical industry are summarized. The results of a nationwide public opinion survey conducted by the SOCIS Center in 2019 and 2020 regarding the public's perception of the results of health care reform were analyzed, as well as the results of a survey of 1,000 Ukrainians in April 2023 conducted by the sociological company Factum Group within the scope of social “YOUkraina” initiative. In many respects, the representatives of academic and scientific circles agree with the opinions of WHO experts, who attributed the following to the shortcomings of health care reform: imperfect organization and insufficient funding, limited subject-legal relations, gaps in the functioning of the health care system, inefficient management of human resources and contradictory legislation. According to the patients, as a result of the reform measures, there were no significant changes in the level of quality of the provision of medical services. At the same time, the level of support for the medical reform from the country's population is insufficient, and almost 40% of respondents consider the reform to be unsuccessful.

Evaluation of pests affecting maize imported across Malawi borders

Cross-border trade is one of the major factors that puts maize at risk as it creates pathways for spread of different maize pests in Malawi. This study was carried out to identify pests associated with imported maize in order to improve phytosanitary measures and reduce the introduction of pests. Random sampling technique was used to collect imported maize at selected borders and commercial cities with the aim of identifying pests present during importation. There were no significant differences (p&gt;0.05) in the population of insect pests before and after incubation in all the surveyed districts. Significant differences were observed after incubation for larger grain borer (LGB) and common maize weevil. The highest percentage infestation (32%) of living LGB was recorded in Karonga and the least in Mzuzu (p&lt;0.05). On the other hand, for maize weevil, the highest percentage infestation (20%) was recorded in Nkhatabay while the least was observed in Lilongwe district (p&lt;0.05). Common fungal pathogen species isolated included Fusarium (70%), Aspergillus (29%) and Penicillium (1%). The highest percentage of kernel infection with Fusarium sp. was recorded in Dedza and Lilongwe while for Aspergillus sp. were in Mzuzu. The Aspergillus sp. isolated were A. niger (29%), A. flavus (22%) and A. parasiticus (5%) while Fusarium sp. isolated was Fusarium verticilloides. The study provided the status and causes of storage losses by various pests on maize. It is recommended that the phytosanitary system present at various Malawi borders where maize is imported should be strengthened. This can be achieved through human and infrastructure capacity building, strict compliance with importation regulations and improved funding of organizations mandated to ensure phytosanitary compliance. Key words: Aspergillus sp., consignment, food security, grain storage, random sampling, sanitary and phytosanitary measures.

Values mapping workshop: What are your integrated care values?

Background: In the integrated care literature, functional aspects such as organisational forms, improving processes, funding issues and ICT challenges are dominant. However, although a lot has been written about these features, it is still difficult to understand why integrated care sometimes works, and sometimes does not. The scale-up of integrated care and the measurement of its impact therefore remain challenging.&#x0D; By focusing our efforts on structural or process elements, we might underestimate the role of human factors and relationships in integrated care. Concepts as trust, belief and relationship management seem fundamental. It is essential to also include these in our thinking, because after all integrated care is about people and for people. In integrated health care programmes and networks, lots of people with a variety of backgrounds and values work together; relations are key. This workshop provides insight in these “human factors” and lets participants experience the role of underlying values.&#x0D; Why a workshop? A workshop format offers the opportunity to actually perform and experience the values mapping exercise. Both individually and groupwise.&#x0D; Target audience: Our workshop will be of interest to professionals, managers and policy and decision makers seeking to learn more about the role of values in integrated care. Researchers may also find our workshop relevant, because we will use the exercise for data collection and we present several theoretical insights.&#x0D; Workshop structure&#x0D; &#x0D; Welcome and Introduction (10 min)&#x0D; &#x0D; - The importance of normative integration?&#x0D; - Who are you and made you choose this session?&#x0D; &#x0D; Theoretical background (10 min)&#x0D; &#x0D; - What are values?&#x0D; - What does recent research show us?&#x0D; &#x0D; Values mapping exercise (individually, 10 min)&#x0D; Start the exercise with examining your own integrated care values by carefully identifying the values and norms underpinning integrated care.&#x0D; Position the values on the map. The different boxes on the map reflect the importance of the particular value, ranging from ""not important"" to ""very important"". Please take your time; repositioning or shuffling is okay!&#x0D; Reflection in pairs (10 min)&#x0D; Reflect on your values map with your ‘partner’&#x0D; Discuss possible differences between you and your partner&#x0D; Please explain: why are these values important to you? Could you provide an example from practice?&#x0D; How do you apply these values in your work and collaborations?&#x0D; Plenary discussion: Learnings and takeaways (10 min)&#x0D; Reflection on the exercise; reflections on the role of values, linkage to the introduction/theory, collaborative sharing of experiences&#x0D; What are your takeaways?&#x0D; What golden rules could you formulate?&#x0D; Plenary discussion: Practical applicability (10 min)&#x0D; &#x0D; Discussion about how can we use values and the workshop insights for:&#x0D; &#x0D; How can we use values in network governance?&#x0D; How can values help us in decision-making?&#x0D; How can we use values in accountability?&#x0D; &#x0D; This interactive workshop will be facilitated by: 1) Prof Mirella Minkman, PhD (Vilans and TIAS/Tilburg University, The Netherlands - Role: Chair, theoretical reflections), 2) Nick Zonneveld MSc.

Drivers for the development of the microfinancial sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The importance of microcredit in solving social problems of the state is reflected in the strategic objectives and target indicators of the Concept for the Development of the Financial Sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2030. Based on the regulator's public reporting materials, the article analyzes the activities of microfinance organizations providing microcredit to both individuals and small businesses. An assessment of the regulatory framework governing the activities of microcredit market participants was carried out, current changes in the rules for granting microcredits electronically and the borrower's debt burden ratio were considered. An assessment of the strategic directions for the development of microcredit, aimed at implementing systemic reforms in the financial sector is given. The authors studied the world experience of microcredit conditions in different countries of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia and highlighted the most successful global practices of the functioning of microfinance organizations, innovative products and technologies that will help improve the efficiency of the microloan market in Kazakhstan. Proposals to increase the access of business entities to credit resources and financial services are substantiated. For expanding the range of services provided by microfinance organizations and improving their quality are stated. The possibilities of expanding the sources of funding for microfinance organizations and reducing the cost of credit resources are revealed, which will subsequently serve to increase the share of small businesses in the structure of the gross domestic product, increase real labor productivity and reduce the share of the non-observed economy.

Funding of the activities of religious organizations in Ukraine

This article is devoted to the legal regulations pertaining to funding the activities of religious organizations in Ukraine. First, the analyses concern the direct financing of religious organizations from public funds (funding from the state budget programs for the restoration of religious architectural monuments, as well as the educational subventions that can be directed to private institutions of secondary education founded by religious organizations). However, financing religious organizations is also possible from other public funds, particularly local self-government budgets. The so-called “indirect” funding of religious organizations takes the form of tax benefits, discounts on natural gas and electricity, as well as free transfer of property. The analyses concerning the self-funding of religious organizations are focused on voluntary donations made by faithful as well as the economic activity of enterprises founded by religious organizations. The considerations aim to facilitate the choice of possible directions and types of activity of religious organizations, taking the provisions of financial law into account.

Государственно-частное партнерство в системе здравоохранения Хабаровского края

Relevance The tasks set for the healthcare system require the attraction of significant resources, primarily financial ones. Public-private partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP) can become an effective tool for solving some of the tasks set, attract investments and become a serious inductor in the implementation of infrastructure projects, the construction of modern medical organizations. Some forms of PPP may make it possible to raise additional funds for the provision of medical care and the expansion of paid medical services. All this requires a more detailed scientific study of the forms of interaction between PPPs in the healthcare sector. Purpose and objectives of the study The purpose of the study is to increase the effectiveness of interaction between the state and business in the health care of Khabarovsk Krai by developing a set of measures using public-private partnership tools. The objectives of the study included the study of publications and the legal framework, the structure of financing in the system of compulsory health insurance, the study of the level of awareness and willingness to involve healthcare organizers of medical organizations in Khabarovsk Krai in PPP processes, as well as the study of infrastructure facilities subordinate to the Ministry of Health of Khabarovsk Krai. Materials and methods The study used data from open sources, including regulatory legal acts, publications and articles on PPP issues, studied open data from the territorial fund of compulsory medical insurance of Khabarovsk Krai, data from the unified state register of real estate. Also, a survey of health care organizers was conducted using a questionnaire specially designed for the study. Results A classification of public-private partnerships in healthcare has been developed, and the main forms of interaction have been identified. It was determined that from 2020 to 2022, funding for non-state medical organizations increased by 15 %: from 1.001.741.1 thousand rubles to 1.151.886.0 thousand rubles. There is a predominance of funding, including in 2022, of organizations of the Russian Railways system (627.552.0 thousand rubles), as well as organizations providing hemodialysis services (195.913.0 thousand rubles) and radiation diagnostics (219. 265.0 thousand rubles) PPP forms are actively used to solve social problems under the “Older Generation” program, funding for ophthalmology has been significantly increased, the dynamics compared to 2020 is +1975 %. According to the results of a survey of healthcare organizers, 2/3 of the respondents see development prospects, 44 % consider outsourcing to be the most promising, 26 % – concession agreements, 92 % indicate an insufficient level of awareness on PPP issues, 90 % expressed their willingness to take part in educational events. In total, the subordinate organizations of the Ministry of Health of Khabarovsk Krai have 1.369 premises and buildings, 419 (30.1 %) of them are used to provide the main function of medical organizations, and 950 are auxiliary. 187 (44.6 %) out of 419 have over 80 % wear and tear, need either reconstruction, major repairs, or are subject to demolition and construction of new facilities. Conclusion The results of the study allow us to fix the main parameters of the healthcare industry, determine ways for further improvement, and develop a set of measures for the development of public-private partnerships in healthcare. It is necessary to conduct an in-depth scientific study of PPP with the involvement of economists, specialists in the field of state and municipal administration, healthcare organizers, undergraduates and graduate students. A comprehensive comprehensive study will significantly increase the effectiveness of measures to develop public-private partnerships in Khabarovsk Krai.

ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ОБЪЕМА СТОМАТОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ ТЕРАПЕВТИЧЕСКОЙ ПОМОЩИ, ОКАЗАННОЙ В ВИДЕ ПЛАТНЫХ МЕДИЦИНСКИХ УСЛУГ

The provision of paid medical services (PMS) is declared by Federal Law No. 323-FZ dated 21.11.2011 "On the basics of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation" (Article 19) [1, 5, 7]. The procedure and conditions for the provision of PMS by medical organizations are established by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of the same name dated May 11, 2023 No. 736 in the form of Rules [8, 10]. Any medical organization regardless of its organizational and legal form and form of ownership as well as an individual entrepreneur can be the provider of such services [3, 11]. An indispensable requirement for the provision of PMS is compliance with the procedures for the provision of medical care, clinical recommendations approved by non-profit professional organizations, and standards approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation [9, 10]. The provision of PMS is also regulated by the Law of the Russian Federation No. 23001 of February 7, 1992 "On Consumer Rights Protection". At the same time, there is a constant increase in the amount of PMS in the Russian Federation, their provision being an additional and quite significant source of funding for medical organizations [2, 4, 6].&#x0D; The article presents the analysis of the volume of medical services provided at the expense of citizens and in accordance with voluntary health insurance contracts in the dental department of the state medical organization for five years in the specialty of therapeutic dentistry. It is found that 71.8% of services were provided at the expense of citizens, and 28.2% were provided under voluntary medical insurance contracts. In the general structure of therapeutic and diagnostic measures, the removal of deposits on the teeth (69.3%) ranks the first, the treatment of caries being in the second place (15.0%), and the treatment of non-carious lesions of the teeth being in the third place (6.4%). The data obtained show a year-over-year increase in the volume of therapeutic and preventive care: by 1.3 times for caries, by 1.2 times for non-carious lesions of teeth, by 1.8 times for pulpitis, by 2.1 times for gingivitis. Patients do not show any interest in the paid treatment of periodontal diseases, so it takes less than one percent of the total volume of care (0.88% at the expense of citizens and 0.25% under voluntary health insurance contracts). The unfavorable epidemiological situation leads to a decrease in the volume of paid dental therapeutic care.

Финансовая поддержка некоммерческого сектора в Российской Федерации

The present scientific research touches upon the issues of studying and analyzing the financial support of the non-profit sector in Russia. In the light of modern challenges and changes in society, the state simply needs civic initiatives that will affect not only the development of the country, but also the solution of most social prob-lems. State support for social initiatives of non-profit organizations has a positive effect on solving a number of public problems, therefore it is an important component in the sustainable development of the third sector. The aim of this work is to analyze the main sources of funding for non-profit organizations in Russia (taking into account the latest data from the analytical reports of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation for 2022).

New Instruments for Investment Support of Technology Sovereignty Projects

The growth of restrictive measures against the Russian Federation in the context of the high import dependence of the national economy calls for special attention to be paid to the country’s achievement of technological sovereignty and the launching of a new sustainable investment cycle. This involves the task of dynamically increasing the creation of new medium- and high-technology industries, with a central role being given to the creation of a resource database of projects. Limited public budgets and the inaccessibility of external financial markets make it appropriate to consider domestic private and (or) resources as priority sources of financing debt, especially when the latter are not sufficiently involved in the investment process. In turn, it is unlikely to accumulate the funds of credit organizations and the business sector without the use of modern state support tools that would reduce the cost of capital for the implementation of investment projects and, thus, they redirected financial flows to the highest priority, albeit low-margin, of the real sector. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze new instruments of investment support of projects of ensuring technological sovereignty in the territory of the Russian Federation.
