Evaluation of the working life quality as a part of the human resources management system of a modern enterprise

The article is devoted to the problem of evaluation of the working life quality of personnel of a modern Russian enterprise. On the basis of a survey of employees of enterprises in various spheres of activity in the Tyumen region using a full (dispensing) questionnaire, satisfactory and unsatisfactory criteria characterizing the quality of their working life are revealed. The research shows that within the framework of the motivational system, the provision of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises with social benefits ranks last, while the state's social policy is aimed at raising this indicator, at material and physical well-being, and at social and legal protection of the person. Social benefits and social guarantees form an important sphere of working life and contribute to a significant improvement in the quality of working life. Satisfaction with the work activity is formed under the influence of a large number of factors. Detailed study and analysis of each factor will improve the quality of working life of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises. The conducted research confirms that there are no violations in the sphere of legislative provision with social guarantees at the enterprises of the Tyumen region. This means that the payment of sick leave sheets and payments provided in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are fully implemented without violating the deadlines. In addition, the civil rights of employees are respected and leave is granted in accordance with the schedule. On the basis of the study, the authors proposed ways to improve the quality of working life of employees in the Tyumen region.

Cognitive Robots with Imitative Thinking for Digital Libraries, Banks, Universities and Smart Factories

The general approach to creation of cognitive adaptive robots with imitative thinking and adaptive behavior as assistant to the person in various spheres of activity is covered in article. Researches and the analysis of language thinking of the person allow simulate cogitative communicative and associative symbolical and language functions. The communicative and associative symbolical and language logic of thinking allows create cognitive adaptive robots for various spheres of activity. The robot with symbolical language thinking has system of recognition of the interlocutor, system of speech input of information requirements, system of realization of information requirements (system of imitation of imitative thinking), neural network system of synthesis of the speech in the text of realization of information requirement. The system of realization of information requirement contains system of assimilation of knowledge, system of symbolical and language communication, system of training, the knowledge base, base of abilities, the neural network system of reading printing system and system of graphic display. The system of training contains subsystems of machine translation. The system of recognition of interlocutors is neural network system. Information unit of communication between the robot and the interlocutor is information requirement. The interlocutor uses information requirements which contain in the knowledge base of the robot. He communicates with the robot by means of combinations of information requirements, enriching, thereby, the robot with information requirements. The robot receives new basic information requirements, elements of knowledge and realization during his training. Acquaintance of the robot to the person is carried out through neural network system of a face recognition. If the person is unknown to the robot, then the receptive system remembers his speech dictionary and the person. If he is known to the robot, then the system will customize system of speech input of information requirement on the speech dictionary of the interlocutor. After that information contact between the robot and the person begins. The system of speech input will transform speech information requirement to the text in a functional natural language. Specialization of cognitive adaptive robots is carried out on the basis of knowledge bases, bases of abilities and implementers of behavior. Cognitive adaptive robots with imitative thinking and adaptive behavior have prospect of broad practical application.

THE METHOD OF SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUEST

The article considers a problem of additional information request, usually being solved in diagnostics process for reduction of number of diagnosis hypotheses. In practice during solution of these two tasks it is important to consider all types of the cause-and-effect relations, variability of signs values for a time, influence of events on dynamics of values of signs. The offered algorithm of solution of this task is based on choosing differentiators among the known measurable signs. Identification of differentiators is made with use of knowledge of internal processes developing and external events’ influence on them. We will apply such algorithm to the solution of a problem of request of additional information for situations recognition, classification and diagnostics in various spheres of activity.

The mechanism of development of integration processes in the region

In the context of the weakening economic development of the region, it is necessary to find new ways to increase the efficiency of interaction between the economic structures of the region. One of the areas is the development of integration processes in the field of cooperation between the public and private capital to meet the goals and objectives of the effective functioning of both the participants of integration interaction, as well as the region as a whole. Factors that influence the emergence and development of integration processes, are a scarce resource; motivated by the need to diversify the business; the desire to improve the economic efficiency of business entities. Development grace-integral process is economic interaction managing subjects, followed by combining them to achieve common objectives and obtain the synergistic effect due to a number of resource solutions, organizational and administrative problems. To obtain high economic benefits of integration interaction of the participants, we have proposed a mechanism for the development of integration processes in the region, based on three levels of interaction between regional authorities, educational institutions and private organizations. It allows forming a single chain integration and process management to increase the effectiveness of their implementation in practice, and to avoid the disadvantages associated with the formation of the integrated structures. Integration cooperation of regional authorities with organizations of various spheres of activity of the region and education (research) organizations is a key component of the new Russian innovation policy because, if done right, it provides broader benefits from investments in research and development, creating favorable conditions for sustainable innovation development and is a strategic factor in the economic growth of the region.

Statistical Evaluation of Middle Class in Russia

The arguments, whether there is a middle class in Russia, and, if it is, who can be deemed as its representatives, will probably never end. Center of discussion is situated at the merge of several disciplines. Scientists (representatives of economics, sociology, philosophy, etc.) view this problem through the prism of their knowledge – and, naturally, cannot reach the common explanation. This is normal, as different sciences have different indicators for evaluation and priorities for determining a middle class. In developed countries, middle class is an essential class, being the guarantor of social and political stability, legislator of norms of socio-economic and cultural behavior. Its representatives are characterized by independence and critical thinking, which facilitate the development of civil society and efficiency of state management. Having the role of main players in the state, investors, taxpayers, reproducing labor force, and bringing innovations into various spheres of activity, they ensure the increase of standards and quality of living of population through development of new spheres of activity in economy, through expansion of employment, modernization of functioning enterprises through development of new directions of activity, development of infrastructure necessary for modernization of state, creation of conditions for attraction and development of new resources, support for development of subjects of small and medium business through stimulation of entrepreneurial initiative, provision of sustainable and well-balanced development of economy in long-term. The larger the middle class, the better the sustainability of architecture of social order, which does not allow big conflicts between the rich and the poor. Its representatives, being the symbol of success, set the standards of consuming and are role models for many people, influencing mentality of the whole society and forming the ideas about forms of labor and leisure activity. The main duty of middle class in modern society is to facilitate the development and progress, be the bearer of social interests, cultural samples and values. Massiveness of middle class determines social stability and order in society. Still, at present, only one in seven citizen of Russia belongs to middle class. That’s why the problems of its formation, as well as perfection of its internal structure, are still very topical. The most favorable social conditions for the growth of middle class may be created only by development of country in the path of innovational economy with strong regulating influence of the state.

Comparative estimates of Kamchatka territory development in the context of northern territories of foreign countries

The article promotes an approach to assess the prospects of regional development on the basis of the synthesis of comparative and historical methods of research. According to the authors, the comparative analysis of the similar functioning of the socio-economic systems forms deeper understanding what part factors and methods of state regulation play in regional development, and also their place in socio-economic and geopolitical space. The object of the research is Kamchatka territory as the region playing strategically important role in socio-economic development of Russia and also northern territories of the other countries comparable with Kamchatka on the bass if environmental conditions such as Iceland, Greenland, USA (Alaska), Canada (Yukon), and Japan (Hokkaido). On the basis of allocation of the general signs of regional socio-economic systems and creation of the regional development models forming the basis for comparative estimates, the article analyses the territories, which are comparable on the base of climatic, geographic, economic, geopolitical conditions, but thus significantly different due to the level of economic familiarity. The generalization of the extensive statistical material characterizing various spheres of activity at these territories, including branch structure of the economy, its infrastructure security, demographic situation, the budgetary and financial sphere are given. It allows defining the crucial features of the regional economy development models. In the conclusion, the authors emphasize that ignoring of the essential relations among the regional system elements and internal and external factors deprives a research of historical and socio-economic basis.

Los "medici" en la epigrafía de la Hispania romana

Latin epigraphy reveals the existence of twenty-six physicians in Roman Spain who worked in various spheres of activity and specialist areas. Thanks to the information provided by the texts of inscriptions we are able to study matters such as the socio-legal status typical of the persons who carried out this activity, possible improvements in the financial level they may have encountered and the type of displacement inherent in this profession. The greater concentration of inscriptions in ancient Emerita Augusta and Gades leads us to think that these cities may have been important medical centres during the early imperial period in Roman Spain.

The International Association of Refrigeration through the correspondence of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and Charles-Édouard Guillaume, 1908–1914

Summary Summary In 1908 the First International Congress of Refrigeration took place in Paris, organised by a score of French industrialists and supported by some of the major railway and shipping companies. A few months later, in January 1909, the International Association of Refrigeration was founded with the aim of encouraging the general progress of the science and industries of artificial cold. The aim of this paper consists in examining the early years of the Association with a particular focus on its scientific character. The research is based on the documents published by the Association from 1908 to 1914, and on private correspondence between two of the main scientists, both Nobel Prize recipients, who played an important role in its establishment: the Swiss physicist Édouard Guillaume (1861–1938) and the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853–1926). Both scientists had a specific vision for their own role in the Association and for the Association itself. Their correspondence reveals a great range of tensions between the various nation-state members of the Association, its various spheres of activity, but also tensions due to personal ambitions and conflicts of interest.
