Reimaging Local Control, Local Democracy, and Local Engagement in Education: How Rural Education Policy in a Metro Centric State Alienated Its Residents

This paper examines two case studies as examples of how an Urbannormative State policy implementation for education reform in rural areas altered and de established trust in state government reforms. By specifically examining two rural community’s efforts to ensure local control in the face of state policy implementation practices, the paper finds that rural areas have over 70 years of concrete evidence that their values are often subjugated to state reform plans which stress efficiency and effectiveness. Using archival evidence, these case studies present under studied, and little-known events which have shaped relationships between the State and its residents. The paper finishes with a re-evaluation of implementation theory and posits an updated theory that includes local stakeholders influences beyond the previous model of focus on government officials.

МЕДІА ТА ВІЙНА: РОЛЬ І МІСЦЕ РОСІЙСЬКИХ ЗМІ В ЗБРОЙНІЙ АГРЕСІЇ РФ ПРОТИ УКРАЇНИ

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The purpose&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; of the research is to determine the specifics of the role and place of the Russian mass media in the implementation of the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Research methodology.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: monitoring, grouping of disparate data, analysis, synthesis, comparison – to determine the peculiarities of the formation of the media space of the Russian Federation and their impact on the place and role of mass media in the implementation of state policy; expert and content analysis – to determine the characteristic features of Russian mass media materials and their current orientation; generalization – to form conclusions regarding the use of media as a tool of criminal power.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The results.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; The impact of the peculiarities of the formation of the modern media space of the Russian Federation on the role and place of the mass media in the implementation of the policy of the ruling elite is determi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;ned; summarizes the picture of the participation of the Russian mass media first in the hybrid war against Ukraine, and then during the open armed invasion by the aggressor country. The available facts make it possible to unequivocally specify the place of the mass media in the structure of today's social and political structure of the Russian Federation not as a public institution, but on the contrary – as an important component of the implementation of the criminal plans of the leadership of the aggressor country. At the current stage, the Russian mass media are considered and used by the authorities as a mechanism for the implementation of the aggressive plans of the Kremlin regarding independent Ukraine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Novelty.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; In determining the peculiarities of the practice of transforming the social institution of the mass media into a transmission mechanism of the government’s decisions and using it as a tool for the implementation of its criminal foreign policy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The practical significance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; lies in the fact that the obtained results can be used for further scientific investigations of the problems of media functioning in the conditions of modern armed conflicts and wars.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key words:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; media, power, paternalism, hybrid war, aggressor country.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

P019Illinois patient experiences with public and private insurance coverage for abortion following policy change

<h3>Objectives</h3> We sought to understand implementation of new state policies requiring public and private insurance coverage of abortion and the role coverage had in patient experiences of abortion care. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted phone interviews between July 2021 and February 2022 with 50 Illinois residents who recently sought abortion prior to 11 weeks' gestation at clinics throughout Illinois. We conducted semi-structured interviews to explore the impact of insurance coverage on experiences obtaining care. We coded transcripts using Dedoose software and conducted thematic content analysis. <h3>Results</h3> Twenty-eight participants reported having private insurance, 21 reported Medicaid insurance, and one reported having no insurance. Participants with Medicaid insurance reported that it often covered all costs and that many clinics enrolled eligible patients using Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility. Few patients with private insurance reported coverage for care; challenges included: no coverage for abortions or only for "medically necessary" abortions; obstacles with referrals or plan networks; high deductibles and cost-sharing; privacy concerns; and assumptions that care would not be covered. Benefits of public and private coverage included: relief from cost-related stress, earlier appointments, and agency to choose method knowing all costs would be covered, including sedation. Some participants only learned of insurance coverage or denial at the time of the appointment. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Illinois' expansion of Medicaid coverage to include abortion care appears to have reduced or removed out-of-pocket costs for most eligible patients. Alternatively, many privately-insured participants reported paying out of pocket. State agencies responsible for oversight of private coverage requirements should collect data to ensure compliance.

Measuring the impact of state and local Tobacco 21 policies in the United States: A longitudinal study of youth and young adults ages 15-21.

Tobacco 21 (T21) policies, which prohibit tobacco sales to individuals under 21, aim to reduce youth tobacco use by limiting youth access to these products. Little, however, is known about the longitudinal effect of T21 policies on youth tobacco use behaviors at the national level. Participants aged 15-21 years from a longitudinal study conducted between May 2014 and May 2019 (n = 13,990) were matched to geocoded T21 policies. Generalized linear mixed models examined the association of direct and bordering T21 policy exposure and cigarette and e-cigarette use and intention to use, accounting for individual characteristics. Controlling for sociodemographic and psychosocial covariates, there were statistically significant positive associations between T21 exposure and e-cigarette use (OR = 1.45 [1.03,2.06], p < .003) and intention to use e-cigarettes (OR = 1.54 [1.05,2.26], p < .027). We found no association between T21 policy exposure and cigarette use or intention to use cigarettes. Furthermore, exposure to T21 policies did not significantly modify the relationship between age and either cigarette outcome. This is the first longitudinal study to evaluate state and local T21 policies at the national level. Our analyses demonstrate that existing T21 policies are not sufficient to reduce youth tobacco use and intentions to use, and suggest that T21 policies need to be a part of a comprehensive tobacco policy landscape. Our findings suggest further research is warranted on state and local T21 policy enforcement and implementation, including how T21 may differentially impact cigarette and e-cigarette use, and may have implications for the federal T21 policy. This research evaluates state and local T21 policies in the United States longitudinally, finding that T21 policies are not sufficient to stem e-cigarette use among adolescents and young adults. These findings support further policy action and suggest that local and state T21 policies are not sufficient to reduce tobacco use and rather, need to be part of a broader, more comprehensive set of tobacco control policies. Further research on enforcement and implementation challenges of T21 policies and the impacts of the new federal T21 policy is warranted.

Prospects for the Development of Information and Analytical Activities in the System of Public Authority Under the Conditions of Wartime Posture in Ukraine

Ensuring the effective implementation of the basic functions by the country’s public authorities significantly depends on the level of development of its information and analytical activities and the efficiency of the formation and implementation of state policy. The intensification of democratization and the increasing flow of information in the system of public power lead to the activation of the process of formation and development of information and analytical activity, which in the conditions of wartime posture is especially actualized and acquires significant importance. The purpose of the research lies in substantiating the theoretical aspects and practical recommendations for determining the prospects for the development of information and analytical activities in the system of public power in the conditions of wartime posture in Ukraine. General scientific and special methods of economic analysis have been used in the research, in particular as follows: analysis and synthesis, analogies and comparisons, grouping and multivariate cluster analysis, systematization and generalization, graphical and tabular methods. The results of the conducted research of the theoretical and applied principles regarding the determination of prospects for the development of information and analytical activities in the system of public power in the conditions of wartime posture in Ukraine has made it possible to establish that the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has caused significant destructive changes in the system of public power, which requires the introduction of effective methods of information and analytical activity and innovative technological means of information protection. It has been proven that Ukraine, like other countries of the Eastern Partnership, are unable to fully ensure the stable development of information and analytical activities in the system of public authorities, for as much as they are characterized by a low level of their digitization, resistance to misinformation and countering cyber threats. It has been revealed that the parameters of Ukraine according to the analysed indicators are moderate from among the countries of the Eastern Partnership, as evidenced by the value of the Multidimensional Index of Digitization 0,42‒0,48;

Adaptive Management of Business Entities in the Context of Digitalization of the Economy

The advanced development of the world’s economies requires a detailed study of the adaptive management of business entities in the economy digitalization. It includes ensuring the economic growth of countries and promoting the use of information and communication technologies in the digital economy. Digitalization of the world’s economies is secured by implementing relevant legislation and making political decisions to implement state policy and strategy in the digital economy sector for effective adaptive management of business entities. The aim of the research is to establish the regularity of the impact of digitalization in the world’s economies on the adaptive management of business entities. This can be achieved by conducting a regression analysis to reflect the dependence of the influence of factors on the level of digitalization in 25 economies of the world according to the IMD digital competitiveness ranking. This is aimed at checking the features of the use of various digital technologies at the enterprise level for 2022. Research methods: method of synthesis of information; regression analysis; systematization, generalization. Results. It is established that as a result of regression analysis, the value of the coefficient of determination indicates that the regression model explains 78 % of the relationship between the future readiness of countries to implement digital technologies and the use of information and communication technologies, but there are still a small number of other factors that are not included in the regression model.

F.F. Erisman and the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Russia

Introduction. The foundations of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Russia were established by the founders of domestic hygiene. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of the scientific, practical and publication activities of F.F. Erisman in the formation and development of the state sanitary and epidemiological service of the country. Materials and methods. A historical expert-analytical study was carried out. The materials of the analysis are the main results of the activities and publications of F.F. Erisman in the field of sanitary-hygienic and epidemiological research. Results. The spectrum of activities of F.F. Erisman laid the foundation for the development of a number of hygienic disciplines. F.F. Erisman is the author of the first domestic hygiene manuals, which made a real breakthrough and influenced the life and health of many generations of Russians, manager of large-scale sanitary inspections. F.F. Erisman laid the foundations for the experimental-laboratory and social-hygienic directions of Russian hygiene. F.F. Erisman was the founder of the Hygienic Institute at the Moscow Imperial University and the sanitary station attached to it. On the basis of this institution the Moscow Sanitary Institute was subsequently created and became as Federal Scientific Center of Hygiene named after F.F. Erisman of the Federal Service for Supervision in Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Man Wellbeing. Limitations. The limitation of the study is due to the analysis of the activities and contribution to the creation of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Russia by one, but an outstanding hygienist of the 19th century, Professor F.F. Erisman. However, this does not distort the essence of the development of the domestic medical and sanitary business. Conclusion. The scientific and managing foundations for the development of sanitary and epidemiological rules and hygienic standards, the development and implementation of state policy and legal regulation in the field of sanitary and epidemiological safety, the arrangement of sanitary and epidemiological supervision, are largely laid down in the works and activities of the outstanding hygienist of Russia - F.F. Erisman.

Administrative and legal principles of public control over the implementation of state policy in the humanitarian sphere

The aim of the article is to study the functioning and legal regulation of public control over the implementation of State policy in the humanitarian sphere. The subject matter of the article is public control. Methodology. The following methods were used during the research: institutional, interpretation, legal and dogmatic, monographic, system, scientific abstraction, summarizing. Results. Various approaches to the concepts of "control", "supervision", "public control", proposed in the scientific domestic and foreign literature are considered. It is stressed that such control has the following forms: State, international, municipal and public; the priority of the investigated phenomenon in Ukraine in the context of European integration processes is emphasized. The lack of a unified approach in the legislation regarding the definition of this term is considered, which is the reason for its heterogeneous interpretation. Practical implementation. It is proposed to develop and adopt a single unified Law "On Public Control", which will regulate in detail all the issues related to the implementation of this institution. Value/originality. Based on the analysis of scientific work and legal instruments, the authors’ determination of the concept of “public control over the implementation of state policy in the humanitarian sphere” is provided.

Політика соціальної якості: теорія та міжнародні підходи в контексті завдань повоєнної реконструкції України

The paper presents the expediency of the formation and implementation of post-war Ukraine state policy under the basics of the social quality scientific concept, used to improve the social parameters of the European Union development. The authors discuss the general theoretical basis of the social quality concept, the essential milestones of its development, key foundations and concepts, and the approaches proposed by the UN Economic and Social Council, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, the International Labour Organization, the International Association on Social Quality to ensure modern societies’ social quality of life, its quantitative and qualitative assessment. Attention is focused on the expediency of the post-war introduction of the social quality approach into the system of state administration of Ukraine, which can help politicians and citizens to rethink the strategy of Ukrainian society development in the European direction based on socio-economic security, social cohesion, social inclusion, guaranteed social opportunities, and to root social values of equality, solidarity, social justice, and human dignity. The authors determined the relevance of the need to adapt the international approaches of social quality to the implementation in the functioning and development of Ukraine’s public administration system in the reconstruction of post-war Ukraine, focusing primarily on overcoming the consequences of the war. The paper shows the critical importance of the efforts that Ukraine has made since the beginning of the war to support the institutional and financial sustainability of the national social protection system and the implementation of state policy measures to promote employment and prevent the destruction of the national labour market. It is argued that the introduction into the system of public administration of post-war Ukraine of the concept of social quality adapted to domestic conditions should contribute to the “social contract” to gradually find a reasonable balance between two priorities: simultaneous increase of efforts to systematically eliminate threats of external aggression and accelerated restoration of the national socio-economic space on the principles of sustainable, inclusive development.

Human rights and security in the conditions of modern challenges and threats

In the article, human rights, respect for them, observance and protection are considered as a universal ideal, the basis of progressive development, a prerequisite for stability and stability of society. The need to protect life and health, ensure the inviolability of the person, freedom, and property, turns the task of cognitive and practical solution of this problem into an integral part of the life cycle of a person and society, the functioning and development of political and legal systems. It is noted that human rights are called the core of meaningful democracy. In the last few revolutionary decades, humanity learned a hard lesson: without the protection of human rights, there can be neither democracy nor any justification for democracy. It is emphasized that we live in a time when we have to overcome new threats that have appeared on the historical horizon: pollution and degradation of the global environment, overpopulation, depletion of natural resources, international terrorism, armed aggression, etc. Attention is focused on Russia’s military attack on Ukraine, which took place on February 24, 2022 and is a continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian war launched by Russia in 2014. From the first day of the invasion, Russia has been violating the rules of war and committing crimes against humanity and war crimes on a massive scale, in particular, mass murders, torture and rape of the civilian population, kidnapping and torture of Ukrainian and international journalists, politicians and public figures, deportation of Ukrainian citizens, etc. All these crimes do not have a statute of limitations and require conscientious recording in order to further punish criminals at all levels, compensate for damages, and deputize Russian society. As a conclusion, attention is focused on the fact that the main duty of our state is to ensure human security, which can be achieved only by eliminating the causes of threats to a person, his rights and freedoms. Guaranteeing the safety of individuals, society and the state against external and internal threats requires the creation of appropriate conditions for the implementation of state policy aimed at protecting national values and realizing the national interests of Ukraine. Key words: human rights, security, human security, crimes, crimes against humanity, war crimes.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ВІТЧИЗНЯНОГО ДОСВІДУ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ВПЛИВУ РЕГУЛЯТОРНОЇ СИСТЕМИ НА УПРАВЛІННЯ КЛІНІЧНИМИ ВИПРОБУВАННЯМИ

The article deals with the general analysis of the domestic experience of implementing the impact of the regulatory system on the clinical examinations management. It has been determined that in all the developed countries the state continues playing the key role in regulating the sphere of scientific investigations and innovations, in particular, the pharmaceutical field. Despite the current normative and legal regulation, during inspections of the activities of enterprises conducting clinical examinations of medicines within the framework of state control, specialists of control and supervisory structures identify cases of non-compliance with mandatory requirements. It has been stated that nowadays conducting the clinical examinations is related to a number of risks: a significant pressure on the pharmaceutical companies in the aspect of quick development of new effective medicines with a low price; a huge number of standards and requirements that need to be met; increasing the complexity of clinical research (increase in the number of endpoints during the last 10 years, increase in the number of adaptive examinations), etc. It has been resumed that the development of additional tools to improve the quality of the informed consent procedure as the main stage of informing subjects about the benefits of participation, limitations on the time of the clinical examinations, risks that may arise from participation, etc., is currently relevant. Analysis of the influence of regulatory system of Ukraine on the problem of clinical examinations management gave an opportunity to assume that the list of potentially viable variants for solving the outlined issue through the implementation of state policy include: increasing the attractiveness of the clinical examinations market of Ukraine for domestic and foreign investors; creating the conditions for infrastructure formation and development in Ukraine, which is necessary for conducting modern biomedical studies; implementing the effective mechanisms of involving doctors to the clinical examinations, etc. It has been generalized that state regulation in the field of conducting clinical examinations is continuously modified and has a tendency to develop a stable legal base and comprehensive harmonization of the Ukrainian legislation with international requirements of basic principles regarding clinical examinations based on the achievements of modern science and new medical technologies.

МЕТА ТА ЗАВДАННЯ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ДЕПАРТАМЕНТУ ЗАХИСТУ ІНТЕРЕСІВ СУСПІЛЬСТВА І ДЕРЖАВИ ЯК СТРУКТУРНОГО ЕЛЕМЕНТУ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПОЛІЦІЇ

The article demonstrates that the purpose of the National Police of Ukraine is the result to which all their activities are aimed. It was found that the first group of scientists for the purpose of the National Police of Ukraine understands the protection of human rights and freedoms, the interests of society and the state, combating crime, maintaining public safety and order. It is highlighted that the second group of lawyers, considering identical goals and objectives, determines that the main tasks of the police are to implement in the manner and within the limits prescribed by law, state policy in the protection of human rights and freedoms, public and state interests, crime prevention, support public safety and order. It is emphasized that the purpose of the Department of Protection of Public and State Interests is to ensure public (public) security and order, protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, public and state interests, combating crime resulting from its activities, which is achieved through its implementation tasks. The thesis that the tasks of the police are expressed in the provision of police services in certain areas, and have a programmatic nature, has been further developed. It is noted that the main tasks of the Department for the Protection of Public and State Interests include the implementation of state policy in the field of human rights and freedoms, as well as the interests of society and the state, which is a set of organizational and legal measures to protect citizens, society and the state illegal encroachments.

ФОРМИ І МЕТОДИ ВЗАЄМОДІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ МІГРАЦІЙНОЇ СЛУЖБИ УКРАЇНИ З ІНШИМИ СУБ’ЄКТАМИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ У СФЕРІ МІГРАЦІЇ

The article examines scientific approaches to defining the concepts of "interaction", "subjects of interaction". Taking into account the interpretation of the above definitions, the definition of the interaction of the State Migration Service of Ukraine with other subjects of the implementation of state policy in the field of migration has been formulated. It is emphasized that the interaction of the State Migration Service of Ukraine with other subjects of the implementation of state policy in the field of migration involves defining the purpose, tasks, principles, forms and methods of such interaction. The system of subjects of interaction in the migration sphere is considered. It has been proven that today there is no single normative legal act that would determine the mechanism of interaction between the subjects of interaction in the field of migration. It is proposed to create an Interdepartmental Council on Migration with the aim of improving interdepartmental cooperation in the field of migration and to approve the Regulation on the Interdepartmental Council on Migration. The purpose of its activity is defined as the coordination of the interaction of the specified bodies regarding the implementation of the state migration policy.

The value aspect of legal regulation during martial law

The article describes the approaches to understanding values, legal values, value aspect in legal regulation. Emphasis is placed on the features of values in legal regulation that are relevant during martial law. Among the features of values in legal regulation the following are highlighted: they represent a set of means of influencing public relations, reveal the essence and purpose of legal regulation, they have a systemic nature and functional orientation, are formed in legal reality and embodied in legal regulation directly or contained in legal norms and principles. The functions of values in legal regulation are certain ways of influence on public relations, that reflect the changes that occur in the process of reform, their content, essence if you will, is one of the means of implementing state policy etc. The functions of values in legal regulation are defined and characterized. The existing scientific approaches are generalized, the factors influencing the formation of the value component of legal regulation are singled out and classified. Among the objective factors there are the following: reforms in various spheres of public life based on a holistic concept of legislative policy, a key aspect of which should be the value component, taking into account the integration of our country into the European space. Among this variety of factors, the process of institutionalization of legal values, which are reflected in the process of functioning of the subsystems of the legal system, is also singled out and characterized. Emphasis is placed on subjective factors, among which an important place belongs to the appropriate level of professionalism of both scientists and legislators and those entities that implement the relevant rules of law etc. Key words: value, legal values, value in legal regulation, legal regulation, factors influencing the formation of the value aspect in legal regulation, functions of values in legal regulation.

Модель формирования и развития социально-ориентированного туризма

The phenomenon of tourism lies in the fact that, along with the economic role, it con-solidates all the most important cultural and socio-transformational processes and in-fluences the spiritual, moral and cultural and educational state of society. Negative trends in the tourism sector have a destroying effect not only on the economic, but al-so on the socio-cultural development. Socially oriented tourism as a modern economic phenomenon, which has certain properties and characteristics, has a functional and targeted orientation to provide all categories of the population with the opportunity to relax and restore labor resources. The purpose of the study is to develop mecha-nisms for coordinating and implementing state policy in relation to the socially orient-ed tourism sector. As a result of the study, factors are identified that determine the importance of the state social policy of supporting socially oriented tourism, which ensures the interaction of all subjects and objects of tourism, as well as the relation-ship between them in the process of production and consumption of a social tourism product. Taking into account the subject-target approach of socially oriented tourism, the subjects of recreational and tourist activities are identified and the types of tour-ism are ranked, depending on their subjective social significance for consumers. The formation of the state social policy to support socially oriented tourism is aimed at providing regulatory and legal support for the functioning of the tourism industry with direct or indirect state support to ensure the effective distribution of production forces and financial opportunities. The result of the study is the formation of an insti-tutional model of the state social policy for supporting the socially oriented tourism sector, which will contribute to ensuring sustainable spatial development of the re-gions of the Russian Federation, the formation of competitive regional tourism prod-ucts in the domestic and international tourism markets, and the preservation and de-velopment of the country's human potential.

Adaptation of International Experience of Creation of Science Popularization Centers to Russian Realities

Introduction. In 2021, within the framework of the Year of Science and Technology announced in Russia, the work related to the popularization of Russian science and technology plays an important role. Noticeable shifts in the field of science popularization require the selection of new forms and methods of knowledge dissemination. Interactive scientific museums and science popularization centers are called upon to play a significant role in this field. For now, a system of indicators has been developed, but it does not fully meet requirements that should be applied to the science popularization objects. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the functioning of science and technology museums, museums of natural sciences and science popularization centers in Russia and in foreign countries and, based on the study of approaches to the effectiveness of their activities, to develop approaches and tools for popularization of scientific knowledge in Russia through creation of science popularization centers and knowledge quarters. Materials and Methods. Based on the reviewed forms and methods for organization of museum functioning in China, the USA, France, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy and New Zealand the museum and science popularization center (SPC) activity analysis has been conducted to understand such indicators of their activities as funding, management documents in museum functioning, criteria and procedure for museum functioning assessment, etc. This has given us the possibility to discover common features and peculiarities of museum standards of these countries. Also, primary criteria and institutions for assessment of museums and science popularization centers in Russia have been determined. Through utilization of their activity assessment documents the outstanding centers and museums of Russia have been shown, the map of museums of natural sciences and science and technology museums of our country has been developed, the recommendations to increase their activity have been prepared. Based on the method of structural analysis and synthesis, the data have been studied and summarized, which allowed creating a model as a conceptual representation of the knowledge quarter functioning, predicting new approaches and tools for popularization of science in Russia. The identified approaches in the activities of Russian and foreign museums and popularization centers have been taken into account conceptually when forming proposals for improving popularization activities in Russia. Results. With the help of the conceptual construct used to characterize museums of natural sciences, science and technology museums and science popularization centers, the basic criteria for evaluating a science popularization center in Russia have been outlined; the specifics of foreign experience that can be useful in assessing the effectiveness of an SPC in Russia has been shown; the measures have been proposed to introduce knowledge quarters as an innovative approach to popularize science in the country. Discussion and Conclusion. The work of a science popularization center should be organized at each world-class scientific and educational center and at each world-class scientific center. When implementing the new strategic academic leadership program “Priority 2030”, it is recommended to take into account the need to integrate the activities of leading universities with the activities of an SPC. The creation of a partnership of organizations based on the conceptual novel approaches for functioning of knowledge quarters working in the field of science, education and business, which are geographically located in close proximity to each other, will contribute to ensuring the influx of talented young people into science and will allow the state and society to more effectively solve the tasks of implementing state policy in the field of science, technology and innovation in the future.

Socio-economic inequality in Kazakhstani regions: Assessment and impact on regional development management

Excessive differentiation of socio-economic development of regions leads to the collapse of a single socio-economic space and the emergence of socio-economic inequality. This study assessed socio-economic inequality in Kazakhstan and its impact on regional development management. It analyzed interregional disproportion of socio-economic development of regions through the index approach using statistical data from the Bureau of National Statistics for 2011–2019. A comprehensive study of the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan and its regional differences employed the proposed index of social and economic development. It was revealed that Kazakhstan has a high level of interregional differentiation of socio-economic development, which indicates the existing socio-economic inequality, requiring the development of new and improvement of existing mechanisms to create an inclusive economy. There are significant gaps in socio-economic development between Kazakhstani regions. According to the proposed index, Kazakhstan is at the above-average level (42, B). From 2011 to 2019, the index was practically at the same level (39-42). The average social and economic development was shown by Almaty (61.1, B++), Nur-Sultan (59.9, B+), Karaganda (53.1, B+), and East Kazakhstan (51.0, B+). Low social and economic development was shown by Akmola (29.8, C+) and North Kazakhstan (22.4, C+). The difference in the socio-economic development of the regions is directly interconnected with the regional economic and social policy. According to the results, to implement state policy in inclusive development and overcome socio-economic inequality, respective measures should promote economic integration, including the mechanisms of regional, industrial, and research policy, comprising all levels of state regulation. AcknowledgmentsThis study is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the project “The science impact on Kazakhstan’s socio-economic development: methodology, assessment models and development scenarios” (IRN AP08052745).
