РАЗВИТИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ ЦИФРОВОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ КАК НАПРАВЛЕНИЕ ПОВЫШЕНИЯ УРОВНЯ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ РОССИИ В СФЕРЕ ГОСЗАКУПОК

. In the context of a sharp decline in the country’s budget revenues and an increase in its expenses, it is very important to organize the effective use of available resources, including financial ones. Therefore, it is very important to organize a system for regulating the use of budget funds through the system of organizing public procurement. Many enterprises consider this sector of activity economically profitable for themselves, since public procurement is associated with the provision of quality services in the healthcare sector, the agricultural sector and the social sphere, is a motivator of innovative development, a lever to combat environmental pollution, and also provides a factor in sustainable development. Starting in 2020, government procurement was transferred to electronic format. In a study conducted by the Institute of State and Municipal Management of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, which was published on December 20, 2021, an anonymous survey revealed that most representatives of business structures participating in public procurement encounter corruption during the competitive procedures. Based on the results of the analysis, it was revealed that open competition in electronic form and procurement from a single supplier (performer, contractor) are the most susceptible to corruption. And the best from the point of view of anti-corruption is an electronic auction, since it takes place in real time, which creates public control over the auction. As a result of the research, directions for openness and accessibility of information on public procurement for all interested parties, automation of the process of selecting a winner in a limited time without the influence of the customer with the participation of artificial intelligence were proposed. This will help increase the level of economic security of Russia in the field of public procurement.

Currently, there is an increasing interest in the study of polymers in a nanodisperse state. Since polymer materials, as a rule, are heterogeneous systems with a sufficiently variable surface, a correct assessment of their chemical structure, physical properties and morphology is of great scientific and practical importance. Polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) have been successfully studied for a long time as nanoscale colloidal particles obtained from polymers. Research on HDPE is most intensively conducted in the field of nanomedicine, and the possible application of HDPE in the field of optoelectronics, photonics, gadgets, sensors, sensors, and new nanocomposites is of great interest to researchers. An independent task is to compare the properties of the HDPE with the properties of a bulk polymer, including the features of its supramolecular structure. Previous studies of the supramolecular structure of PDFs have suggested that charge transfer in the polymer during resistive switching occurs along the grids of intergranular boundaries. This paper presents the results of an experimental study of polymer nanoparticles on different substrates by atomic force microscopy. The main metrological parameters of polymer nanoparticles were determined, the results were compared with the available data on the supramolecular structure of polymer films. The possibility of using atomic force microscopy techniques to visualize polymer nanoparticles on dif- ferent substrates has been demonstrated. Using the AFM method with a conductive probe, it was found that in some cases, during the aggregation of nanoparticles on a metal substrate, charge transfer is realized along separate nanometer-sized sections. The conducting channels in the current image have the form of separate points with a height corresponding to the locally flowing current. It was found that the arrangement of the observed channels correlates well with the model of conductivity along the grain boundaries of the supramolecular structure of the polymer. The issues of interpretation of current images of polymer nanoparticles and the physical model of charge transfer in polymer nanostructures are discussed. The work was carried out with the support of the Mirror Labora- tories project of the National Research University Higher School of Economics and an intra-university grant from the Bashkir State Pedagogical University named after M. Akmulla.

РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ В СУБЪЕКТАХ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

Digitalization is a key factor in sustainable development and a guarantor of national security in the long term. The basis of digitalization is the introduction of digital technologies (DT) into the business practices, models and processes of organizations. Stimulating their implementation and use is one of the components of managing digital transformation at the federal and regional levels of government. The paper aims to study the interregional and intraregional features of digitalization of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation by analyzing the use of digital technologies in organizations of the constituent entities and federal districts of the Russian Federation, characterizing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of development of the digital economy. The research hypothesis is that the digitalization of organizations in the Russian Federation is determined by regional affiliation. The methodological basis and research methods included, firstly, statistical methods – relative range indicators and correlation-regression analysis, time series analysis; secondly, multivariate comparisons and the distance method. The statistical base was made up of the data from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation and static collections of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The author's results include an analysis of the features of digital technologies that underlie the 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of development of the digital economy, and the development of an integrated approach to the analysis of regional features of digitalization in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The research determined temporal trends and disproportions in the use of central heating in 8 federal districts of the Russian Federation according to the data for 2011–2022. A ranking rating of 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation was carried out on the use of central heating in 2021 and a map of digitalization of the Russian Federation was constructed. It has been revealed that the use of DT in organizations of the Russian Federation is largely determined not by interregional, but by intraregional features. Hence, methodological support for digital transformation strategies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the composition of priority areas and projects is of particular importance.

Return on Investment in Human Capital in Russia: Regional Aspect

The purpose of the article is to assess the return on investment in human capital in Russia in a regional context. To achieve this goal, based on the data of the Russian monitoring of the economic situation and health of the population of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2 specifications of the Mincer equation were assessed. The sample consists of individual questionnaire data for 9–30 waves (2000–2021). The general population is divided into eight sub-samples, each of which characterizes a federal district (FD). Several important results were obtained: the lowest return in the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD), this result is explained by the lack of jobs for highly skilled workers and the high level of corruption in the regions of the NCFD; rich FDs have a lower return on investment in HC than poor ones; the difference between the categories of respondents with incomplete secondary education and respondents with completed secondary education is insignificant; the highest return on higher education is in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), as respondents with higher education from the FEFD receive 62.6 percent more than respondents with less than secondary education.

Рискогенное поведение россиян в сфере здоровья: динамика и факторы воздействия

The review analyzes health risk behaviors of Russians in the ‘pre-pandemic’ (2018–2019), ‘pandemic’ (2020–2021) and ‘post-pandemic’ (2022) periods. Risk behaviors of Russians have been studied in dynamics relying on the secondary analysis of the longitudinal database of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the National Research University Higher School of Economics; also, factors able to induce changes in them have been established. Evidence is provided to prove a multidirectional dynamics in risk behaviors among Russians during the COVID-19 pandemic: there was a decrease in medical and physical activities along with conditionally stable alcohol and tobacco consumption Men, people younger than 35, and those who did not have children were established to be less active in their interactions with official healthcare organizations and less concerned about their health. A size of a settlement where respondents resided had certain influence on their physical activity (more than 80 % of rural residents pointed out they did not do sports regularly). Addictive behaviors depended on sex, age, and having a partner: men and those respondents who were either married or cohabitated with a partner smoked and drank alcohol much more often. Certain socio-demographic groups tended to replace health protection practices with risky behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Women, elderly people and single people tended to become less active as regards healthcare (and many of them remained non-active in the post-pandemic period). In addition to that, single respondents tended to become less physically active during eh pandemic. Addictive behaviors were more typical for men and employed people. Based on the obtained empirical data, the ‘pandemic’ period is described as a stage that does not facilitate occurrence and maintenance of greater adherence to health protection behavior among Russian citizens. Given low levels of trust in the public healthcare and high anxiety, lower medical activity of population has become an entrenched risk behavior pattern as regards health during the ‘post-pandemic’ period as well. It seems highly advisable to develop effective complex programs on health protection for different population groups including those aimed at making healthcare more available, conducting relevant preventing activities, and raising people’s awareness about value of health and ways to protect it.

Risky health-related behavior of Russians: dynamics and impact factors

The review analyzes health risk behaviors of Russians in the ‘pre-pandemic’ (2018–2019), ‘pandemic’ (2020–2021) and ‘post-pandemic’ (2022) periods.

Russian Philosophical and Cultural Studies at the University: Concept and Model of Institutionalization

The article presents the author’s concept of institutionalization of Russian philosophical and cultural research at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). The peculiarities of its creation and implementation are set by the direction of development, which characterizes the process of transformation of Russian universities into world-class project-research universities. The Institute is an innovative interdisciplinary project, which comprehensively carries out both fundamental research, expert-analytical, project-educational work, and educational activities in the broad subject area of Russian humanities research. This article introduces the scientific community to the main goals and objectives of a large institutional project in the field of research on the intellectual history of Russia, modern Russian studies, philosophy of Russian history and culture, philosophy of Russian literature and art, as well as the forms and directions of work and thematic content of the planned research center. In the medium term, the projected Institute is positioned as a scientific and expert-analytical platform, forming actual knowledge about Russia and influencing the intellectual process in Russia and abroad. It acts as a significant link in the scientific and educational ecosystem of a modern university, an example of which is the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The planned theoretical result, on the one hand, is the development of new methodological approaches in the study of spiritual, cultural and intellectual heritage of Russia, on the other hand – the enrichment of the tools of philosophy and cultural studies in their interaction with the methodology of other humanities. Justifying the practical significance of the project, the author believes that such an organizational model allows combining the academic level of research in the cultural history of Russia and the history of thought with the analysis and expertise of current socio-cultural processes and value transformations taking place in Russian society.

“The University Is a Development Institution That Can Become a Driver for Territorial Development.” Interview with Artem Shadrin

In many countries of the world, development institutions play a crucial role in implementing the social and economic policy of the state. They are tasked with fostering economic growth, facilitating modernization of the economy, and addressing urgent social issues. Outside the financial realm, however, universities play the key role of development institutions by providing invaluable expertise to government bodies, businesses, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, and local communities alike.To delve into today’s potential of universities and their evolving role as development institutions, we sat down with Artem Shadrin, Director of the Institute of Socio­-Economic Design at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

Connections Between Personality Adaptations and Self-Presentation on Dating Sites

This study was carried out as a part of the master's thesis at National Research University Higher School of Economics under the supervision of Doctor of Psychological Sciences, Professor V.A. Petrovsky. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between personality adaptations and self-presentation on dating sites. In a comparative aspect, the relationship between personality adaptations and self-presentation strategies on dating sites has not been previously studied. Based on the analyzed theoretical and empirical materials, an author's model for studying the relationship between personality adaptations and self-presentation on dating sites was developed, which formed the basis of this study. The study was conducted in several stages and contains qualitative and quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis was used for statistical processing of the data on the types of personality adaptations obtained using the survey by V. Joines to identify patterns and significant characteristics of self-presentation. Qualitative analysis made it possible to identify significant additional patterns that could not be traced in the framework of quantitative analysis, and to reflect in what words, phrases and in what context the self-presentation of representatives of the most common adaptations on dating sites manifests itself. The respondents were men, aged 25 to 40, living in Moscow and the Moscow region. Tinder, the most popular dating app in Russia, and the fastest growing and developing dating site in Russia VK Dating were chosen as the dating sites. The obtained results are of practical importance and can serve as a basis for further research.

Pricing in Russian Universities: How Do Competing Universities Infl uence Tuition Fees?

The paper analyzes the pricing strategies of Russian state universities in the context of the competitors’ influence over the tuition-paying education market. The aim of the study is to find out how competition in local higher education markets affects the pricing strategies of Russian state universities. The empirical basis of the study is formed by the data of the Monitoring of Enrollment Quality at Russian Universities implemented by National Research University Higher School of Economics. With the help of pattern analysis methods (order-fixed and order-invariant pattern clustering), homogeneous groups of universities are identified taking into account indicators, which characterize the scale and quality of admission to bachelor and specialist programs. On the example of technical programs, the authors demonstrate the regression model for predicting the 2011–2019 education prices in universities of corresponding homogeneous groups. The results show that each homogeneous group of universities has one or several market leaders who serve as benchmarks for other universities in that group when setting tuition fees. At the same time, university pricing strategies involve orienting towards market leaders in their demand segments and specialty groups. The identified features confirm that competition among universities for students and funding leads to the appearance of market leaders in certain market niches. In some groups of universities, there are clear market leaders at the local and regional levels who have a significant lead over competitors due to the peculiarities of state policy and high heterogeneity of the Russian educational landscape.

Quality Textbooks for Quality Research

The book review considers two handbooks “How to collect data in qualitative field research” and “Practices of qualitative data analysis in social sciences” published by the National Research University Higher School of Economics in 2020 and 2023, respectively. The handbooks compensate for the acute shortage of Russian educational texts on qualitative data collection and analysis in sociology. They can be effectively used in teaching research disciplines and in research practice. Both handbooks have all the characteristics of a contemporary educational texts. Their authors have relevant practical experience in the issues under discussion and provide particular examples and practical recommendations. Both texts are well structured. Both include many educational and methodological elements (not only literature and test questions, but summaries, keywords, practical tasks, links to extensive online resources). The discussed issues are presented at the level of contemporary approaches adopted both in domestic and foreign theory and practice; and this is reflected in citations, references and the considered cases.

Professional and Social Statuses as Predictors of Alcohol Consumption by Working Russians

The paper analyses alcohol consumption patterns among working residents of Russia, depending on their professional and social statuses, using statistical methods. The study is based on data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the National Research University Higher School of Economics for the period of 2013–2019. Sampling included working women aged 16 to 55 and men aged 16 to 60.The introductory part of the article covers the main trends in alcohol consumption among working Russians with different professional and social statuses. The main part of the article presents the results of an empirical study of the statistical relationship between the characteristics of an employee's professional and social statuses and indicators characterizing the probability and volume of consumption of specific alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, vodka, etc.) and alcohol in general. An econometric analysis of the relationships was carried out based on a random effect panel logistic model and an individual random effect Tobin model. Statistical estimates were made separately for men and women. The regression analysis helped the authors find an increase in the probability of consuming alcohol in general, as well as wine and spirits (cognac, whiskey, liqueurs) for workers with the highest professional status (legislators; high-ranking officials; senior and mid-level executives), as well as women with mid-level qualifications compared to unskilled workers. At the same time, the authors recognized a downward trend in the probability of vodka consumption for the respondents of both gender groups with the growth of their professional status (most pronounced for women). In addition, with an increase in the professional status of an individual, there was a trend towards a decrease in the volume of alcohol consumption in general and by specific beverages except for wine. The volume of wine consumption by men from the categories of "clerks and workers in trade and services" and "mid-level professionals; officials" exceeded the value of the corresponding indicator for unskilled workers. An analysis of the statistical relationship between the social status of working Russians and their predisposition to consume alcoholic beverages revealed an increase in the probability of consumption of selected alcoholic beverages among representatives of both gender groups and the probability of alcohol consumption in general (among men) with an increase in the social status of an individual with more moderate consumption compared to workers with lower social status (for men).According to the authors, the results of this study can be relevant to the elaboration of specific alcohol policy measures aimed at reducing alcohol consumption among the employed population of our country.

Vol. 18. No. 1. P. 127–150 [issue contents] In connection with the current trends restructuring the global world order, the task of creating regional zones of trust, including in the format of integration trade associations between states, is coming to the fore. These trends play an important role in the foreign policy of states, including Russia. In this regard, this article analyzes the strategies of the states of the post-Soviet space in relation to regional economic integration. The article uses the method of constructing a social graph. Data on the concluded regional trade agreements between the states of the post-Soviet bloc with trading partners was analyzed. The model was also tested and compared against data on value chains and investment flows. Based on this analysis, a model for the distribution of countries' strategies for regional economic integration was created along two parameters: active/passive and centrifugal/centripetal. Four variants of strategies were identified: active centrifugal, active centripetal, passive centrifugal, and passive centripetal. The article presents the results of checking the obtained model and draws conclusions regarding the prospects for the development of regional economic integration in the post-Soviet space.

STEM salaries in Russia: the importance of human capital and institutional factors

In the age of digital transformation, there is an increasing discussion about human resource shortages. In particular, IT professionals, and specialists in science and technology (STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in general. One of the decisive factors in attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce is the level of compensation, so it is important to understand what determinants affect its level in Russia, which is the focus of this study. The influence of human capital (special experience and availability of higher education) and institutional factors (organization size, economic sector, organization profile) were considered. The data of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Russian Monitoring of Economic Situation and Health for 2010–2020 were used for the analysis. The paper presents a detailed description of the final sample (N = 4 674). The J. Mintzer wage equation is used as the main econometric model. The results show that the level of financial compensation increases when a STEM specialist has higher education, works in a large and commercial organization. Work experience has no effect on compensation. The profile of the organization (technical or not) also did not show an unambiguous result in this study.

Индо-Тихоокеанский регион: между “дружбой” и “недружбой” (Круглый стол Центра Азиатско-Тихоокеанских исследований ИМЭМО РАН) (Часть вторая)

The Editorial Board publishes a brief report on the round table at the Center for Asia Pacific Studies of IMEMO on new phenomena in the system of international relations in the Indo-Pacific Region (IPR) and in the policies of the states located there. The sharp increase in the level of confrontation in different regions of the world over the past year leads to increased importance in the system of international relations, in the foreign policy of states of such categories as “friendliness” and “unfriendliness” in relation to other countries. These phenomena have also affected the Indo-Pacific region, which now plays a key role in world politics and economy, where complicated and sometimes multidirectional processes of restructuring the political space, reformatting economic, military and political relations between states are taking place. In this context, it seems relevant to analyze the influence of the factors of “friendship”–“unfriendliness” on the formation of the main “axes” of rapprochement and confrontation in the region, new blocs and coalitions. The determination of Russia’s new positioning in the ITR taking into account the factors mentioned above also becomes an important independent research task. These and other closely related issues were the object of discussion at the round table held by the Center for Asia Pacific Studies of IMEMO in late October 2022. At the same time the discussion participants focused on the analysis of policies not of all countries in the region, but mainly of the Pacific Asia (PA) and India and South Asia. The panelists were K.R. Voda, Cand. Sci. (Polit.), Scientific Secretary of IMEMO; L.A. Gamza, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), senior researcher at IMEMO; O.V. Davydov, retired Ambassador-at-Large, senior researcher at IMEMO; E.A. Kanaev, Dr. Sci. (Hist.), Prof. at National Research University Higher School of Economics; A.N. Karneev, Cand. Sci.

“Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky and European Culture: On the 200th Anniversary of the Great Russian Writer” International Scientific Conference

The article provides a summary of “Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky and European Culture” International Scientific Online Conference, held by the International Laboratory for the Study of Russian-European Intellectual Dialogue of the National Research University Higher School of Economics in cooperation with the Dostoevsky’s Moscow House Museum Center. At the conference, leading experts in various fields of the humanities presented various reports on the mutual influence of Dostoevsky and European culture. Research attention was paid to the problem of the influence of the Russian writer on the creative development of European philosophical and artistic thought. The speakers demonstrated the history of translations of Dostoevsky’s novels into foreign languages. The participants of the conference also reflected the influence of the concepts of Western European philosophy, literature, and culture on the fiction and religious thought of the writer. A number of conference reports were devoted to the cultural and philosophical problems of Dostoevsky’s works. The researchers examined the religious and philosophical dialogues of the novel Demons, paying special attention to the controversial image of the protagonist of the novel – Nikolai Stavrogin. Leading Dostoyevsky specialists turned to the littlestudied aspects of his journalism, defining the role of the “Jewish question.” The conference presented literary critics’ interpretations of Dostoevsky’s novels, the history of screen and musical adaptations of his works in European and Russian art.

ПЕРЕДОВЫЕ ПРАКТИКИ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ И ВНЕДРЕНИЯ ДИСТАНЦИОННЫХ ФОРМ ЗАНЯТОСТИ

The purpose of the study is to assess the level and potential for the development of corporate personnel policy implemented by three Russian corporations: Yandex, Sberbank of Russia, and Rostec, representing the IT industry, banking, and manufacturing industries, taking into account the possibilities of remote work, modern innovations in the labor market and employment, as well as new approaches to the development of the labor and personal potential of workers, including people with disabilities. In the process of studying, analytical industry general scientific methods were used, including analysis of cases of industry leaders. Quantitative and other aspects of the corporate policies of the analyzed companies were clarified during in-depth interviews with three employees of the human resource management departments of the head offices (management companies) of each company. Additional statistical materials are taken from the joint statistical collection of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Rosstat, and the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia “Indicators of the Digital Economy–2022”. The results of the study confirmed the existence of a significant potential for the development of corporate personnel policy carried out within the framework of the remote labor organization and also proved that remote technologies contribute to the professional and personal growth of employees, maintaining loyalty to the employer and increasing labor productivity and that they make it possible to attract employees with disabilities to higher paid and more qualified positions, giving them the opportunity to develop professionally and socially. It is concluded that it is necessary to actively disseminate and scale up the best practices of Russian corporate leaders, which can become a guide for the development of other companies in the field of human resource management, including through government support measures.
