Institutionalization of support of Ukrainian researchers - young scientists: experience and problems

The purpose of the article is to study the Ukrainian and foreign experience of legal regulation of support for young researchers, to identify the peculiarities of the regulation of the status of young scientists. Modern global challenges of scientific and technological development actualize the issue of preservation of national scientific potential, application of best practices of European integration of science and innovation, academic mobility of training of young scientific personnel. The Ukrainian state implements measures to overcome the negative situation that intensified during the 21st century, which is characterized by a decrease in the number and quality of scientific research, the departure of talented scientists abroad to continue their academic career. Solving the problem of scientific personnel is facilitated by the promotion of various forms of stimulation of research activities and measures to support researchers, updating the concept of the legal status of a researcher. The legal status of the researcher was formed by international law during the XX-XXI centuries. A standard model of the legal status of researchers was formed, including their rights and freedoms, as well as duties and responsibilities. The article analyzes the terminological features of the development of legislation on science in terms of the application of the concepts “young scientist”, “young researcher”, “researcher at the beginning of his career”; the state of personnel potential of Ukrainian science. The tools for supporting young scientists provided by national and foreign legislation and the practice of their application are studied. Conclusion: improving the status of young researchers is an urgent task for the development of legislation on science. National and foreign experience demonstrates a variety of legal tools: mechanisms and tools that provide incentives for young people to engage in research activities, first of all - financial tools.

Development of paradigmatic ideas in the domestic regional economics by Evgeny Animitsa et al.

The paper presents an overview of a monograph prepared by a team of scholars representing the Ural school of regional economics, which was created under the leadership of Evgeny Animitsa and is based in the Ural State University of Economics. Methodologically, the monograph relies on a wide range of approaches in the fields of philosophy of science, regional economics, economic geography, urban studies, finance. The main research method is content analysis of achievements in regional economics and related branches of science. The review examines interrelations between the development directions of the Ural school of thought and general global trends in regional economics and reveals the specificities of the Ural science. The synopsis of the monograph’s key chapters allows evaluating the contribution of the authors into the new ideas linked both with the theoretical consideration of the current economic situation and the state-of-the-art applied research into the economy of regions, agglomerations, cities. The paper outlines a number of controversial issues concerning the fallouts of ongoing economic reforms: the possibility of emergence and the focus of synergistic effects; problems of training research personnel and reforming the system of vocational education at regional level; development of impact investment system; formation of urban agglomerations and location of productive forces in regions. Particular emphasis is put on the social orientation and comprehensive development of regional economy by supporting the well-being economy. The review demonstrates that the research of the Ural school of regional economics clusters around the major problems of science, and in some cases is ahead of world academic achievements.

The formation of organizational structures coordinating manpower policy in health care of the subject of The Russian Federation

Nowadays, development of organizational structures coordinating personnel policy in health care of the Subjects of the Russian Federation is relevant. The purpose of the study was to investigate feasibility, scientifically substantiate and implement at the level of the subject of the Russian Federation measures developing organizational structures to coordinate participants of personnel policy in health care. According to 88.5% of interrogated experts, insufficient interaction between participants of personnel policy in health care is a significant cause of problems of medical personnel in the Irkutsk Oblast. About 81.1% of respondents consider overall efficiency of interaction between participants as low. The survey permitted to study main directions and degree of interaction between participants of personnel policy in Oblast health care. At that, 82.8% of respondents indicated that intensification of low interaction requires development of special organizational structure. The obtained results permitted to formulate proposals concerning organization in the Irkutsk Oblast of Medical Council under the Governor and in its structure working group on personnel policy in health care. The corresponding methodological support was developed.

Energy System of Dalenergo in the Prewar Years (1937–1941): Conditions and Features of Formation

Introduction. The study analyzes the historical aspects of the formation of the energy system of Dalenergo in the prewar years, identifies the prerequisites, conditions and features of this process. Materials and Methods. The study is based on unpublished archival records, including declassified documents found in federal and regional archives. The study used traditional historical methods and historical and economic (systemic, statistical, quantitative). Results. The development of the electrical economy in the USSR in the 1930s characterized by the formation of central and regional energy systems. Dalenergo, the easternmost energy system in the USSR, was formed by the order of Glavenergo NKTP dated January 5, 1937, when construction work on the electrical networks and power plants that became part of it had not yet been completed. As a result, certain difficulties and problems arose during the creation of the energy system. Discussion and Conclusion. The formation of the energy system of Dalenergo was determined by the remoteness and isolation of the Far East region from the industrialized regions of the country, the limited financial, material, technical and time resources, the incomplete construction of power plants and transmission lines, and the unresolved personnel problems. During the creation of the energy system, managerial errors and miscalculations were made. The energy system of Dalenergo differed from other systems of the USSR in its modest production capacities, was geographically limited only by the territory of the Amur Bay and poorly met the tasks of the socio-economic development of the Far East region.

Fear of COVID-19, risk perception and preventive behavior in health workers: a cross-sectional analysis in middle-income Latin American countries.

The aim of this study was to examine the association between fear of COVID-19 and risk perception with preventive behavior in health professionals from four Latin American countries. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. Health professionals with on-site care in Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru were surveyed. Information was collected through an online self-report questionnaire. The main variables were preventive behavior as the dependent variable and fear of COVID-19 and risk perception as independent variables. Linear regression was used, and unstandardized beta coefficient and value of ps were calculated. Four hundred and thirty-five health professionals were included, the majority were aged 42 years or older (45.29, 95%CI: 40.65-50.01) and female (67.82, 95%CI: 63.27-72.05). It was shown that the greater the fear of COVID-19, the greater the preventive behavior of COVID-19 infection (B = 2.21, p = 0.002 for total behavior; B = 1.12, p = 0.037 for additional protection at work; B = 1.11, p < 0.010 for hand washing). The risk perception of COVID-19 infection had a slight direct relationship with preventive behaviours (B = 0.28, p = 0.021 for total behavior; B = 0.13, p = 0.015 for hand washing), with the exception of the preventive behavior of using additional protection at work (p = 0.339). We found that fear and risk perception are associated with increased practice of hand washing and use of additional protection at work. Further studies are required on the influence of working conditions, job performance and the occurrence of mental health problems in frontline personnel with regard to COVID-19.

Sleep Disruptions during Naval Operations as a Function of Ship-Class, Departmental Assignment, and Paygrade

Workplace productivity can be impaired by many different environmental and occupational factors. These disruptive influences are problematic but also represent opportunities for tailored mitigation strategies that could enhance performance. In the naval context, sleep quality is an especially pervasive impairment. Naval personnel also represent a unique and understudied population as they both live and work within the same austere, industrial-like operational environment. As such, the relationship between occupational environment, responsibilities, and sleep warrants investigation. To assess these relationships, this study used survey data from a large sample of active-duty military personnel (N > 11,000) with three dependent sleep variables in sleep obtained, sleep disturbances, and work-related sleep impairments. Possible occupational-related sleep factors included different ship-classes, different departmental assignments (e.g., administrative, engineering), and paygrade (e.g., officer or enlisted). Statistically significant differences were observed for all multivariate analyses and interactions, indicating pervasive sleep disruption as no occupational category approached the daily recommended 7 h of sleep. However, occupational factors accounted only for exceptionally small effect sizes. The findings suggest that sleep disruptions are a pervasive problem for all naval personnel, regardless of ship-class or occupational assignment, but that chronic sleep disruption better explains sleep-related performance deficits than daily occupational disturbances.

Corruption in law enforcement agencies: causes and system of countermeasures

Corruption has always been a negative phenomenon that significantly deformed the institutional purpose of state institutions and undermined the public's trust in them. Unfortunately, the issue of corruption in law enforcement agencies has always been particularly acute. Moreover, right now, in the conditions of a full-scale war, it is the law enforcement agencies that must stand in defense of the internal sovereignty, national unity of the state, and ensure the protection and functioning of various state mechanisms. It is worth noting that the institutional structure of the law enforcement system is constantly changing, against the background of which institutions are created, the purpose of which is the direct prevention of corruption and corrupt acts. The classic approach consists in assigning a specific body of state power to law enforcement agencies based on the actual performance of law enforcement functions.&#x0D; The need and relevance of the criminological characterization of the causes and the importance and urgency of developing a system of anti-corruption measures in law enforcement agencies are substantiated.&#x0D; Corruption offenses committed by law enforcement agencies are most often various deviations and violations of the current legislation regulating law enforcement and law enforcement activities of these agencies. We see the high latency of corruption offenses as the main cause of corruption in this area; personnel problems and deformation of the role and meaning of the management team. Measures to combat corruption in internal affairs bodies include: optimization of the recruitment process; improvement of internal and external communication channels for whistleblowers; promotion of departmental financial supervision of the life of law enforcement officers, and constant training and improvement of qualifications of each law enforcement officer, the need to pass a real annual psychological certification.&#x0D; It is concluded that the development of anti-corruption measures should not be of a general nature. More effective is precisely the targeted approach, based on the identified causes and conditions of corruption in a separate sphere, in this case, the sphere of activity of law enforcement agencies, and specific industry-oriented, targeted anti-corruption measures developed based on these determinants.

State support of entrepreneurial activity in modern conditions

The article examines the peculiarities of state of war has the greatest impact on the ability of enterprises to develop and, in general, to remain competitive and profitable.The importance of state support has been proven by many factors, as entrepreneurs have received new challenges facing a large number of problems, in particular: the lack of a sufficient number of solvent customers in the domestic market, the unpredictability of the development of the situation in Ukraine; lack of sufficient capital; unavailability of credit funds; disruption of supply chains; inefficient, long and expensive logistics; personnel problems and others. At the same time, the impossibility of long-term planning by entrepreneurs is negative. The purpose of the article. Study of directions and instruments of state support for business entities, and their influence on the adoption of anti-crisis measures in the activities of entrepreneurs in modern conditions. The methods used in the research process: the work uses the method of analysis, generalization, and deduction. Results of the work: The main tasks and directions of state support of business entities in modern conditions have been established. The main problems of their development during the period of martial law are analyzed.

Intensive care unit professionals' responses to a new moral conflict assessment tool: A qualitative study.

Moral distress is a serious problem for health care personnel. Surveys, individual interviews, and focus groups may not capture all of the effects of, and responses to, moral distress. Therefore, we used a new participatory action research approach-moral conflict assessment (MCA)-to characterize moral distress and to facilitate the development of interventions for this problem. To characterize moral distress by analyzing responses of intensive care unit (ICU) personnel who participated in the MCA process. In this qualitative study, we invited all ICU personnel at 3 urban hospitals to participate in individual or group sessions using the 8-step MCA tool. These sessions were facilitated by either a clinical ethicist or a counseling psychologist who was trained in this process. During each session, one of the researchers took notes and prepared a report for each MCA which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. A total of 24 participants took part in 15 sessions, individually or in groups; 14 were nurses and nurse leaders, 2 were physicians, and 8 were other health professionals. This study was approved by the Providence Health Care/University of British Columbia Behavioural Research Ethics Board. Each participant provided written informed consent. The main causes of moral distress related to goals of care, communication, teamwork, respect for patient's preferences, and the managerial system. Suggested solutions included communication strategies and educational activities for health care providers, patients, family members, and others about teamwork, advance directives, and end-of-life care. Participants acknowledged that using the MCA process helped them to reflect on their own thoughts and use their moral agency to turn a distressing situation into a learning and improvement opportunity. Using the MCA tool helped participants to characterize their moral distress in a systematic way, and to arrive at new potential solutions.

Higher Educational Institutions of the Musical Profile in the Volga Region in the Second half of the 1930s – 1950s: Problems of Personnel Support

Relevance. The state policy of most countries of the world is aimed at increasing the qualitative level and competitiveness of domestic education systems, the development of individual industries in the field of education. Positive changes in this area can help studying the historical experience of building national education models, the use of domestic educational traditions of the past in modern practice.The purpose of the study is to cover and popularize approaches to ensure the staff of the superior musical and educational institutions in the Volga region in the second half of the 1930s-the 1950s.The objectives of the study: to study factual material reflecting the ways of solving personnel problems in domestic conservatories in the second half of the 1930s – 1950s; identify the degree of effectiveness of this activity.Methodology. In the course of the study, the following sources were used: scientific articles, dissertations, collections of documents, archive materials. The methodological basis of the work was the principles of objectivity and comprehensiveness, as well as a number of scientific methods: system analysis, historical, typological, historical and comprehensive.Results. As a result of this study, approaches to the personnel support of the musical higher educational institutions of the Volga region in the second half of the 1930s-1950s were specified.Conclusion. The study showed that in the conditions of modernization development of the second half of the 1930s and 1950s, due to migration processes, the problem of personnel recruitment of musical universities (conservatives) was effectively solved in the Volga region. The decisive role in this issue belonged to the state system of distribution of specialists. Capital musicians (Moscow, Leningrad, etc.), evacuated to the region during the Great Patriotic War, played key importance for replenishing and strengthening the states of the Volga conservatory. Thanks to the shots involved during this period, musical and cultural traditions were formed, pedagogical and performing regional schools were created, several generations of professional musicians were brought up.

Depression and anxiety in peruvian military personnel during the pandemic context: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, increased workload and stress could have increased mental health problems (anxiety and depression) in military personnel. However, the number of studies in military members is scarce, especially in regard to mental health. The objective of this study was determine the prevalence and factors associated with depression and anxiety in Peruvian military personnel.MethodsWe undertook an analytical cross-sectional study. The survey was distributed face to face between November 02 and 09, 2021, during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic among the military personnel. We used some instruments to measure depression (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index, ISI), food insecurity (Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, HFIAS), physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaires, IPAQ-S), resilience (abbreviated CD-RISC), and fear of COVID-19 scale. The exclusion criteria included those who did not completely fill out the evaluation instruments.ResultsWe analyzed the data of 615 military personnel that participated in the survey. Of them, 93.7% were male and the median age was 22 years old. There was a prevalence of 29.9% and 22.0% in regard to depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. In addition, it was found that being married (PR: 0.63; 95% IC: 0.42–0.94), having a relative with mental health problems (PR: 2.16), having experienced food insecurity (PR: 1.48), insomnia (PR: 2.71), fear of COVID-19 (PR: 1.48), and a high level of resilience (PR: 0.65) were factors associated with depression. In regard to anxiety, the factors associated were working for more than 18 months since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (PR: 0.52), a high level of resilience (PR: 0.50; 95% IC: 0.33–0.77), insomnia (PR: 3.32), fear of COVID-19 (PR: 2.43).ConclusionWe found a prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety of 29.9% and 22.0%, respectively. In regard to the factors that attenuate depression, we can mention being married and having resilience; and among the aggravating factors, having a relative with mental health problems, food insecurity, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19. Finally, anxiety increased through working time, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19.

Becoming of railway education in Azerbaijan

The history of the formation and development of railway education in Azerbaijan from the end of the 19th century is considered until the early 1930s; goals, organization and content of the educational process in educational institutions at the railways, forms of educational institutions, problems of training national personnel for the railway industry. It is noted that despite the existing problems in the training of national personnel, primarily related to ignorance of the Russian language, by the end of the 19th century. The first railway engineers from among the Azerbaijanis began to appear.This period of time is associated with important stages in the history of the region, the country and the whole world. If the opening of the first railway line in Azerbaijan was associated with the rapid development of the oil industry, then the expansion took place against the background of the peak of the economic power of the Russian Empire, and subsequently the outbreak of the First World War. A difficult period for the railways of Azerbaijan came after the revolutions of 1917, during the confrontation between the revolutionary forces of the Bolsheviks and local authorities, part of the railways was put out of action. Attempts to rebuild the destroyed tracks were made by the national government of Azerbaijan, but the railway was fully restored only after the establishment of Soviet power in the country.The improvement of educational institutions on the railway is inextricably linked with the development of the railway industry. All historical and political changes that had an impact on the industry were reflected in the process of training specialized personnel.

Research on home care model of intelligent community based on SD model -- Taking Meilin community as an example

The problem of aging has appeared in some countries, and the problem of providing for the aged has become one of the key issues. In recent years, aging has also become a social problem in China, but the current pension model can not meet the diversified and personalized needs of the elderly in China. In this paper, the intelligent community home-based elderly care model has become the forefront of academic research and a new topic of elderly care practice. On this basis, this paper sorts out the research context of the home-based elderly care model in smart communities, and uses Maslow's Hierarchical Needs Theory (MHNT) and Welfare Pluralism Theory (WPT) as research methods to analyze the needs of the elderly and the choice of welfare providers. In addition, this paper uses the method of system dynamics to establish a model to analyze the supply and demand balance of different pension models, and demonstrates the advancement of community home-based pension model. Finally, through the interview and investigation of the staff and managers of the smart community home-based elderly care model in Meilin community, Dongzhi County, Anhui Province, China, this paper summarizes the existing elderly care model in the community, and finds some deficiencies, such as the lack of full-time personnel, the inadequate use of new technologies and the lack of financial support. According to this, the paper puts forward corresponding countermeasures: (1) the problems of personnel can be solved by strengthening the training of service personnel, improving the system of volunteers and community service personnel working together, etc;(2) The problem of technology application can be solved by cooperating with external enterprises or other organizational units in research and development; (3In terms of financial support, it is necessary to broaden the channels of obtaining funds, seek the cooperation of enterprises, and adopt the innovative pension service mode of charging for providing high-end services and using the income for public welfare free basic services to effectively raise funds. Through the above research, the authors can put forward solutions to the pension problems faced by Meilin community, integrate relevant resources, and reduce the social burden.

Возрождение производства наградных знаков в после-революционной России (1918–1930-е годы)

This paper studies the organizational and logistics issues of the Soviet award system in the early period of its existence. It analyses administrative, production, technical, and personnel problems, which manifested themselves with the revival of award production during the Civil War and the first post-war decade. Further, the transformation of the attitude of the Soviet authorities to the award system and the resulting organizational measures and approaches are assessed. The specific features of the Soviet award system are highlighted in terms of its logistical and organizational support. The question of continuity in relation to the previous award system of Tsarist Russia is raised. The paper is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity and systematic approach. The methodological basis for the study is the historical-genetic method. The novelty of this research lies in rejecting the traditional descriptive approach to the awards and in identifying common problems and approaches of the Soviet government in matters of the material and organizational aspects of the award system, while indicating the organizational and production-technical difficulties of that period and ways to overcome them. In addition, the authors point out the dynamics in the organization of award production, use of raw materials, personnel policy, etc. An obvious problem of the period under study was the initial lack of Soviet authorities’ awareness of the value and functionality of the award system, followed by the correction of these approaches in the conditions of war and economic crisis. As a result, it took almost 20 years to formulate a coherent award policy. The authors suggest considering the Soviet award policy in close connection with the general processes of political, economic and social development, as an important element of the ideological system, and as an indicator of the changes that were taking place in the Soviet state and society.

Assessment of post‐mortem submersion interval using total aquatic decomposition scores of drowned human cadavers

Investigating drowning-related deaths remains a significant problem for forensic personnel all over the world. The previously published decomposition scoring method like the total aquatic decomposition (TAD) score promises to estimate the correct post-mortem submersion interval (PMSI) in aquatic habitats through the assessment and calculation of the decomposition rate and accumulated degree days (ADD). The current study comprised of 53 drowned death cases belonging to various districts of Haryana from May 2016 to August 2017. The regression and Pearson's correlation indicated a significant correlation between the TAD scores and the actual ADD (calculated through water temperatures) (r2 =0.917) and between the actual and the estimated ADDs (calculated through TAD scores used by Heaton et al. [21]) (r=0.9585). The results indicated that the estimated ADD tends to over predict the PMSI compared to the actual ADD. It is further confirmed by paired t-test, which showed the mean of actual ADD (mean=349) to be significantly lower than the mean of estimated ADD (mean=663). Moreover, these methods will help forensic investigators and researchers formulate region-specific regression equations for PMSI estimation.

Research on Information Quality Evaluation Method of Q&amp;A Community from the Perspective of Fuzzy Evaluation

[Purpose/significance] Facing the current situation of information overload in the Q&amp;A community, this paper discusses how to effectively evaluate the quality of information released in the community, so as to facilitate the staff of Q&amp;A community to screen and recommend valuable and practical answers for platform users, which will enhance user stickiness. [Method/process] Firstly, the hesitant fuzzy information evaluation matrix is established for the qualitative evaluation information. Secondly, the entropy weight method is used to initially weight the indicators in consideration of the subjectivity of information matrix. Then, considering the overlap of indicator information, the initial weights are revised based on the correlation between the indicators to improve the accuracy of answer sorting. Finally, a comprehensive ranking of answer quality is obtained based on the weighted grey relational analysis method, and the optimal answer is selected. [Result/conclusion] An example of technical Q&amp;A community from CSDN is selected to analyze. The results show that the hesitant fuzzy sets as evaluation information can effectively solve the problem of evaluation personnel’s judgment level difference, and the revised index weights are used to make the answer ranking more in line with the actual situation

Forms of Non-Standard Employment in the Context of the Transformation of Business Processes in Modern Conditions

Modern business is dynamic and requires flexibility and quick response to societal changes. The conditions for forming market relations in Ukraine, characterised by the influence of a dynamic external environment and the growth of competition, require the search for innovative means of survival of enterprises and maintaining their efficiency. The purpose of the article is to study and summarise the theoretical aspects of the outstaffing process to identify the opportunities and threats associated with the participation in it of all subjects of this process, organisational and legal aspects of outstaffing, taking into account which will ensure the possible benefits of its implementation. Based on the analysis of literary sources and the study of practical experience in providing outstaffing services in Ukraine, the content of this process is determined. It is determined that outsourcing is one of the methods of cost optimisation at the present stage of enterprise development. The main scientific approaches to the definition of this concept, the classification of types are considered, and the main advantages and disadvantages of its use with an increase in the efficiency of the enterprise. The theoretical foundations of outsourcing in the enterprise are analysed to reduce production costs, improve quality and increase product competitiveness. Arguments have been formulated about recognising this toolkit as an effective means of minimising the costs of the enterprise, and some additional advantages of its use in a crisis economy are given. The main problems of regulating legislative and regulatory requirements for providing outstaffing services in Ukraine in current economic conditions are investigated. Explored outsourcing helps new and established businesses attract more professional employees by transferring their business processes to service providers with safer and more advanced technologies. The use of atypical forms of employment undoubtedly has its advantages, but the implementation process is hampered since it is not fully regulated by law. In general, it is necessary to study the specifics of outsourcing and outstaffing since these are promising ways to solve enterprise personnel problems.

Uncrewed naval vessels and the span of maritime tasks

Uncrewed vessels are increasingly being presented as the future of naval capability. Across the globe navies are turning to autonomous systems, and increasingly large uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) as potential solutions to their budgetary and personnel problems. There has been detailed academic discussion of the technical and legal challenges presented by uncrewed vessels, whilst policymakers, particularly in the United States have debated how they should fit into a war fighting concept of operations. What has been largely ignored has been the question of what impact the adoption of uncrewed vessels will have on the ability of navies to carry out the broad spectrum of their functions. Drawing off the Span of Maritime Tasks set out in Australian Maritime Doctrine, this article focuses on the key peacetime functions of navies, the diplomatic and the constabulary, and highlights the problems that might arise from a growth in the use of uncrewed vessels and autonomous systems. In doing so it challenges the widely accepted narrative that uncrewed platforms will allow navies to do more with less, demonstrating that if navies wish to maintain their capabilities across the full spectrum of operations they will have to treat uncrewed vessels as complementary to, and not a replacement for, crewed ones.

Health-saving behavior and quality of life of military pensioners of working age in the process of their re-socialization after discharge from military service: qualitative and quantitative study

BACKGROUND: The problem of resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the civilian community is currently one of the urgent problems of both the state and society. Being a potential labor resource, this social group faces the need for a radical restructuring of its lifestyle and trajectories of labor activity (employment), the need for professional retraining.&#x0D; OBJECTIVE: The purpose to study the features of the resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the main areas of its course, as well as to identify the main problems of the process of their resocialization.&#x0D; MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents studies implemented using the methods of focus group discussions (two focus groups n=9, n=5), a questionnaire using a standard questionnaire for determining the quality of life SF-36 (n=413) and an authors questionnaire (n=413).&#x0D; RESULTS: The health-saving behavior of military pensioners is contradictory: on the one hand, they strive to preserve the useful health-saving habits acquired in the army (sleep and nutrition, commitment to sports) and at the same time note a two-fold decrease in physical activity; they understand the value of health, putting it in first or second place in the system of value orientations, and at the same time demonstrate a decreased the level of their own health-saving behavior, not paying enough attention to prevention and timely access to medical care. One of the most important motives for the re-socialization of modern military pensioners is the desire to maintain a high level and quality of their lives, as well as the lives of their families, which is significantly reduced due to their retirement.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: Socially useful qualities and skills acquired by respondents during military service should be used as much as possible in the process of their re-socialization into civil society. It will not only help military pensioners adapt, but will also contribute to solving a number of personnel and demographic problems at the level of public administration, as well as strengthening the practices of social solidarity in modern Russian society.
