Impact of HIV infection and tuberculosis on life expectancy in Siberian Federal District regions

Aim. To assess the impact of HIV infection and tuberculosis on life expectancy in Siberian Federal District regions for improving the allocation of health resources.Materials and Methods. We investigated the data on the number of population and mortality (stratified into 5-year age groups) in Siberian Federal District regions. The data have been extracted from the Russian database of fertility and mortality (RosBRiS). Among the indicators, we calculated total mortality, mortality from HIV infection, and mortality from active tuberculosis. Further, we estimated the contribution of deaths from HIV infection and tuberculosis to the reduction of life expectancy.Results. Regions within the Siberian Federal District were characterised by an unacceptably high incidence of HIV infection and tuberculosis. Life expectancy showed a downward trend from 1991 to 2006 (Irkutsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Region, Republic of Khakassia, and Tomsk Region), 2007 (Novosibirsk Region, Republic of Altai, Republic of Tyva), or 2008 (Altai Territory, Kemerovo Region, and Omsk region). In 2020, the average life expectancy in the Siberian Federal District was 70.9 years, with a minimum registered in the Republic of Tyva (66.25 years), and the maximum documented in the Tomsk region (71.17 years). The contribution of HIV infection and tuberculosis to the decrease in the life expectancy in Siberian Federal District during the study period was estimated as 0.52 years, including 0.12 years due to HIV infection and 0.40 years related to tuberculosis.Conclusion. The existing volume of preventive measures is insufficient to achieve the target life expectancy (78 years) in the Siberian Federal District to 2030, limiting the expected life expectancy to 75 years at that time point. As the target life expectancy is attainable by 2038 at best, additional resources are required to reduce age-related mortality rates.

Electric power (capacity) supply on the wholesale market for industrial consumers operating within the Siberian United Power System: dynamics of price signals changes study

One of the main goals of creating a wholesale electricity market in the Russian Federation was to reduce the prices for circulating electricity. The achievement of this goal was supposed to be due to the development of competitive energy market relations, equal access to electricity supply services to consumers among all participants of the energy market, transparency and structuring of the electricity pricing mechanism. Traditionally, the regions with the lowest prices for supplied electricity in Russia are the territories of the Siberian United Energy System, where the demand for electricity is provided by cheap hydro generation, which ensures the competitiveness of the Siberian economy and high investment potential in the industrial sector. The article presents an empirical analysis of the dynamic changes in the parameters of the total cost of electricity sold in the regions of Russia included various federal districts with a comparison of the cost of electricity in the Siberian Federal District regions with other territories of Russia, with the identification of key trends and features of changes. Analysis of the dynamics of changes in the components of the cost of electricity on various territories for the period January 2021 – March 2022 revealed a significant increase in the cost of electric energy and electric capacity. Their dynamics in some cases exceeds 30 %, and led to a significant increase in prices for electricity sold to all groups of consumers operating in the United Energy System of Siberia regions, and in particular on territories of the Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia. The presented article emphasizes the need to study the factors and pricing conditions affecting the change in price parameters for power supplied to consumers operating in the regions of the Siberian United Energy System, with the development of follow-up measures to manage the increase in prices for electricity (capacity) in these regions.

Mortality of the population of the Siberian Federal District as a result of accidental alcohol poisoning in 2009-2018

Purpose of research. To study the dynamics of the death rate of the population of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) as a result of accidental acute alcohol poisoning for the period from 2009 to 2018, as well as a comparative analysis of the death rates of the population of the SFD regions with general district indicators. Materials and methods. The analysis of mortality of the population of the Russian Federation, Siberian Federal District and regions of the Siberian Federal district (Altai Republic, Tuva, Khakassia, Altai, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk region) as a result of accidental alcohol poisoning, the comparison of regional indicators with county mortality rates have been carried out. Traditional methods of calculating extensive and intensive indicators, the average error of the indicator, and evaluating the reliability of differences have been used in statistical processing of the material. Results and discussion . The death rate of the SFD population as a result of accidental alcohol poisoning has decreased by 2.0 times for the period from 2009 to 2018. The decrease in population mortality due to accidental alcohol poisoning has been revealed in all regions of the Siberian Federal District, with the exception of the Tomsk region, where the three-fold increase in death rate has been registered. The most rapid decrease in the death rate due to accidental alcohol poisoning occurred in the Krasnoyarsk territory (4.4 times) and the Republic of Altai (3.5 times) in the period from 2009 to 2018. The study of the dynamics of population mortality in the regions of the Siberian Federal District as a result of accidental alcohol poisoning allows us to identify the features of the toxicological situation at the regional level and determine strategic directions for regional chemical safety in the future.

Impact of specific prevention on epidemic process of tick-borne viral encephalitis in Siberian Federal District's regions

The article presents an assessment of the effectiveness of the effect of specific prevention measures on the incidence of tick-borne viral encephalitis in the population of the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The data on the incidence of Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation and the regions of the Siberian Federal District for 2000–2017 years were used, the reporting of regional health services, the conditions and cause-effect relationships of the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis were assessed in the analysis of epidemiological survey maps of outbreaks. The study found that the analysis of the potential risk of contact with the foci of this infection in the regions of the Siberian Federal District, based on the ranking of regions by the level of population’s appeal for tick bites, can be considered as a prognostic criterion in planning the volume of preventive measures. Vaccination, having a significant impact on reducing morbidity (r = –0.89; p < 0.001) and mortality (r = –0.86; p < 0.001) from this infection, together with seroprophylaxis, can be one of the leading factors in epidemiological forecasting the incidence of tick-borne viral encephalitis in endemic areas.

Assessing the Impact of External Effects on Trade in the Regions of the Siberian Federal District

The article presents a model-level verification of the hypothesis about the impact on foreign trade in the regions of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) and Russia made by oil prices in the world market, the ruble exchange rate, and anti-Russian sanctions. The results of research into the dynamics of foreign trade, its commodity structure, and regional specifics are outlined. An independent result is the experience of using iterative multiple stepwise regression, making it possible to identify a significant set of contributing factors and to estimate their role in inducing changes in the dependent variable. It is shown that the sanctions have not radically affected foreign trade. An impact on some SFD regions has been identified, but for the aggregate trade of the district, no influence from sanctions was revealed.

Main Directions of Migration Mobility in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts

The article considers the migration mobility in the regions of Eastern Siberia and Russian Far East. The purpose of the study is to analyze and characterize the migration mobility of the population of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) and the Far Eastern Federal District (EFD) as well as to identify the interregional migration factors that determine the geography of its directions. The main hypothesis of the study is that interregional differences in the social and economic development of regions play a primary role in the formation of the repulsive and attractive factors of migration. We used statistical analysis and mathematical methods, as well as their geographical visualization. We have analyzed data from the Rosstat databases and have shown that migration losses in the SFD regions are significantly higher than in FEFD. However, for FEFD, these losses are more significant. Therefore, poorly populated and depressive regions deserve special attention. In these regions, even minimal migration losses considerably increase socio-demographic risks. We revealed that the indigenous population prevail in these territories. At the same time, the increasing territorial mobility of native inhabitants is observed. In most of the regions, there is a low migrant’s adaptation level. We have proposed the authors’ approach to the study of migration repulsive and attractive factors. It is based on the integration of the methods of multidimensional cluster analysis and geo-information analysis. This approach has allowed to classify the Russian regions in terms of their migration attractiveness as well as to show the geography of the prevailing migration movements for each region of SFD and FEFD. The results of the study have confirmed the dependence of migration mobility on the quality of life in different regions. These data may be applied to elaborate mechanisms for an effective policy of regional socio-economic development in the country. The promising direction for the further research is the application of our method at the municipal level. It may allow structuring regional economic spaces depending on the growth poles and the periphery.

Siberian Federal District: What Impedes Economic Growth?

The paper discusses how to restore economic growth in the regions of the Siberian Federal District (SFD). It is shown that in 2014–2016 the positions of SFD regions have worsened in most of their indicators. The shares of the SFD in gross regional product, employment, and fixed assets have decreased. An emerging tendency is the decline in the technological level of industry. The consumer market and fixed capital investment are undergoing greater contractions in the SFD than in the rest of Russia. Analysis of the dynamics in public debt and deficits in the consolidated budgets of federal subjects of the SFD shows that these subjects do not have sufficient financial resources for a proactive policy for stimulating economic growth. Recommendations are given on how to reduce the impact of the existing adverse trends in different economic sectors.
