Authors:   Karelian Research Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, PITUKHINA Maria
Published: December 2020

Nowadays, the potential for international cooperation in the Arctic is concentrated within the framework of such an influential international structure as the Arctic Council, where Russia is presiding over soon in 2021–2023. The article is devoted to international cooperation evaluation of 15 Arctic universities from 7 Arctic Council member-states with a student contingent of at least 3,600 people (2 in the USA, 1 in Iceland, 5 in Russia, 2 in Finland, 2 in Sweden, 2 in Norway, 1 in Canada). It seems possible to evaluate international cooperation potential between Arctic universities through the prism of 10 quantitative indicators, including the number of international students admitted to the university; number of courses taught in English; number of educational programs for international students; a number of foreign scientists invited to the university, etc. We can evaluate both academic mobility within the Arctic universities and vocational education internationalization due to accumulated statistical data.
Problems of the Arctic Traditional Industries in Yakutia
Authors:   Arctic State Agrotechnological University, RODNINA Natalya
Published: December 2020

The transformations taking place in Russia since the 90s have changed both the political and economic and social systems of the country. Privatization led to a loss of manageability of all agriculture, but significantly negatively affected the traditional agricultural sectors of Yakutia. The transformation of organizational and legal forms and the transition to small-scale production negatively affected animal husbandry as the main occupation of the republic's indigenous population. Despite government support for traditional industries, there has been no positive change. Of particular concern is the implementation of large indus-trial projects in the Arctic. The subject of the study is factors and trends affecting the socio-economic situation and the development of traditional industries. The goal is to determine the features and patterns of the development of traditional industries and assess the impact of ongoing transformations in the Arctic on their condition. The research hypothesis is the assumption of insufficient state regulation measures and mutually beneficial economic relations with business in the industrial development of the Arctic. The results of the studies showed the need to increase the attention of all levels of government in deciding on the development of a particular territory of the Arctic and identifying such rules and mechanisms for companies that should not only ensure the preservation of agricultural industries, but also improve the quality and standard of living of the population. The research methodology is based on system analysis using economic and statistical methods, analytical and computational algorithms for processing information on the development of agro-industrial complex and changing dynamics, including content analysis.
Transformation of the Socio-Economic Space of the Russian Arctic in the Context of Geopolitics, Macroeconomics, and Internal Factors of Development
Authors:   Luzin Institute for Economic Studies, SKUFINA Tatiana , MITROSHINA Marina ,   Luzin Institute for Economic Studies
Published: December 2020

The purpose of the article is to review scientific ideas about the transformation of the Russian Arctic's socio-economic space in the context of geopolitics, macroeconomics, and intraregional factors of development. This review's significance is determined by the fundamental problems that accompany the development of the Russian Arctic, the growing importance of this territory for the national economy. These contradictions' objectivity is confirmed, which naturally indicated the shortcomings of economic theory, which does not allow us to solve these contradictions. For example, the contradiction between the high costs of functioning of the economy, social sphere and the need to raise the level of socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic; between the tasks of increasing the exploitation of resources and the requirements of the environment, etc., that is, what objectively makes it challenging to solve the problem of sustainable development of the Arctic. However, the numerous scientific studies considered, correlated with transformations in politics, economy, and demography, allowed us to assert that ideas have their driving force, influence, and provide transformational processes in the Arctic. The specificity and the strong influence of geopolitics on socio-economic transformations in the Russian Arctic are identified, but at the same time, the significance of the manifestation of expansionism as an internal human need for settlement, fame, and wealth is emphasized, which also ensures the development of the Arctic. Systemic changes are identified, socio-economic trends in the Russian Arctic are presented, which allowed us to establish the positive impact of modern policy on the development of the Russian Arctic, which marks a trend of reducing demographic losses. The prospects for the socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic are considered, taking into account the current situation of the coronary crisis, internal transformation processes, the influence of politics.

El doloroso camino del duelo, (y, sin embargo, hay luz)
Authors: Segovia-Gómez Carmen
Published: December 2020

Cuando me plantearon impartir la conferencia de clausura del XLV congreso de SEDEN, propuse hablar sobre el duelo, ese gran desconocido por el que todos vamos a pasar a lo largo, o a lo corto, de nuestra existencia; lo propuse porque a pesar del permanente contacto que tenemos los profesionales de la salud con personas en duelo, no estamos preparados para normalizar y acompañar de manera eficaz la tormenta emocional que implica la pérdida de la salud o de la vida. Ciertamente llama la atención esa laguna de formación en los profesionales, si tenemos en cuenta que en la actualidad la mayoría de las personas mueren en el hospital y las primeras reacciones de dolor, las más intensas, dolorosas y contradictorias las tienen ante nosotros, los profesionales de la salud. Queramos o no, nuestra actitud va a influir en el desarrollo inicial del duelo.

Authors: Elías-Viramontes Alma de Coral , Casiquen-Casique Leticia , Rodríguez-Loreto José Ernesto
Published: December 2020

Introducción: Existen intervenciones enfocadas a la educación y capacitación de las personas con enfermedad renal crónica sin embargo, muchas de ellas fragmentan a la persona al considerar sólo el incremento de conocimientos y/o conductas, por lo que al no existir una atención integral no se logran cambios favorables. Objetivo: identificar los aspectos teóricos y metodológicos considerados en el diseño e implementación de intervenciones de salud para las personas con enfermedad renal. Metodología: Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática a través de las bases de datos Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud y PubMed, analizando artículos en idioma inglés y español que hayan implementado una intervención a las personas con enfermedad renal crónica. Resultados: De un total de 218 artículos arrojados por las bases de datos sólo fueron seleccionadas 28 publicaciones. Para su análisis se consideró el tamaño de la muestra, el diseño y enfoque teórico de la intervención, los principales resultados y conclusiones. Existen investigaciones que involucran el aspecto psicológico, particularmente el área motivacional como eje central en el cambio conductual y consideran a Bandura como referente teórico, lo cual otorga mejoras en las conductas de salud de las personas con enfermedad renal. Conclusiones: Una intervención con bases teóricas definidas puede contribuir a la prevención en salud con un bajo costo y alto impacto en los estilos de vida de las personas. Además de ser un gran aporte al conocimiento de educación en salud y a la profesión como ciencia.

Authors: Martínez-Álvarez Patricia , Pelayo-Alonso Raquel , Portilla-Sánchez Marta , Pacheco-Martínez Sandra , Cagigas-Villoslada María José , Cobo-Sánchez José Luis
Published: December 2020

Introducción: La población que se encuentra en tratamiento renal sustitutivo con hemodiálisis sufre frecuentemente cierto grado de desnutrición calórico-proteica debido a las restricciones dietéticas y la mala elección de alimentos. Esta desnutrición unida a la inflamación repercute en su calidad de vida e incrementa su mortalidad. Objetivos: Determinar el estado nutricional de los pacientes en tratamiento con hemodiálisis y su relación con quién elabora su comida. Comprobar la relación entre el grado de cumplimiento de las recomendaciones terapéuticas y su estado nutricional. Material y Método: estudio transversal y descriptivo en una población de pacientes en hemodiálisis hospitalaria. Se recogieron datos sociodemográficos, antecedentes clínicos, resultados analíticos y antropométricos. El estado nutricional se valoró mediante la escala MIS. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo e inferencial de las variables a estudio. Resultados: El grado de desnutrición se situó en el 32,4%(n=34). No se encontró ninguna significación estadística entre el estado nutricional y el cuidador principal. Pese a que el 76,5% refirió seguir las recomendaciones dietéticas, tan solo un 44% tenía unos valores séricos de potasio adecuados y el 34,7% cumplía con la ganancia de peso interdialítica recomendada. Conclusiones: La desnutrición sigue siendo un problema frecuente en las unidades de hemodiálisis. Se deben tomar medidas para reducirla, ya sea con acciones educacionales sobre alimentación o incluso valorar el uso de suplementos dietéticos. Enfermería debe seguir reforzando las recomendaciones dietéticas para que ese cumplimiento referido por nuestros pacientes pueda objetivarse y verse reflejado en sus resultados analíticos.

Published: December 2020

The rise in population amidst climate change has exerted undue pressure on food production and security. Rice production has also been adversely affected by rising temperature and varying rainfall resulting in reduced productivity. In order to cope with the negative impact of climate change events on rice production, farmers need strengthen and improve their adaptive capacity. Therefore, a study was conducted to empirically estimate the factors affecting the adoption of Climate Smart Agricultural ( CSA) practices in rice production. Multistage sampling procedure was employed to select the representative rice farmers for the study. With the aid of oral interview and questionnaires, information were elicited from 90 farmers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and univariate probit model. Results revealed that majority ( 62.5 percent) of rice farmers were women, 75 percent were married, 67.5 percent were within economically active age and 85 percent had post primary education. Findings further showed that education level of farmers, family size, farm income and access to information on climate change were positively and directly related to rice farmers willingness to adopt climate smart agricultural practices at 1 percent and 5 percent levels of significance respectively. Result also showed that about 55.85 percent of rice farmers in the study location received information on climate change from village meetings, friends, relatives and other farmers. Agricultural policies that aimed at increasing incomes of rice farmers and creating awareness on climate change will be rational decision.

Authors: N Ikiriko , B Robert , C Amuzie C
Published: December 2020

Ectoparasites and heavy metal pollution pose health risks to both wild and aquaculture fish species. Here, we examine the ectoparasites of fish species (Hemichromis fasciatus, Liza falcipinnis and Sarotherodon galileus) from Abalama and Ilelema locations of the Buguma Creek, Rivers State, Nigeria, over a period of six months (February to July, 2020). Fish tissues (muscles, gills and gut) were also examined for heavy metals (Cr, Cd and Pb). Parasitological investigations were done following standard procedures, as well as the heavy metal analysis which was done using atomic absorption spectrophotometer after dry ashing-acid digestion. Two ectoparasites were isolated: Zeylanicobdella arugamensis from L. falcipinnis at both locations and Cymothoa exigua from H. fasciatus at Ilelema. In surface water, Cr concentration was <0.003µg/l throughout the study period; Cd concentrations ranged between 0.06µg/l and 0.09µg/l at both locations, while Pb values were 0.29µg/l - 0.64µg/l at Abalama, and 0.56µg/l – 0.71µg/l at Ilelema. These values were within international acceptable standards. In fish tissues, however, Cr values were <0.003µg/g in both locations throughout the study period. At Abalama, Cd ranged between 7.18µg/g and 8.15µg/g, and Pb between 72.83µg/g and 92.23µg/g. At Ilelema, Cd concentrations were between 7.56µg/g and 8.67µg/g while Pb values ranged between 78.32µg/g and 92.88µg/g. Differences in heavy metal concentrations in both water and fish tissues between both locations were not statistically significant (p>0.05). All fish species and tissues bioaccumulated appreciable concentrations of the heavy metals. Cr in fish tissues was within permissible limits, but all Cd and Pb values exceeded international permissible limits.
Application of Gene Classification in Cytogenetics
Authors: Gu Huai Tang
Published: December 2020

Generality and individuality are the inherent nature of everything, everything has both generality and individuality. Generality determines the basic nature of things, and individuality reveals the differences between things. According to the principle of dialectical materialism, the genes of organisms are divided into two types: General genes and individual genes. Genes shared by all biological individuals are called general genes, and genes unique to each individual organism are called individual gene. And use this classification method to discuss the three basic laws of genetics, heterosis theory and mutual affinity, and population genetics and biological evolution. It is concluded three basic laws of genetics are only relative to individual genes, unit traits controlled by general genes are not restricted by three basic laws of genetics, and the proportion of individual gene and general gene between parents has a decisive influence on the mutual affinity of parents and heterosis of hybrid generation, and the gradual process of the evolution of life from simple to complex, from low-level to high-level, is achieved by that the mutations to generate firstly new individual genes, and then the favorable individual genes are generalized, which the individuality genes are transformed into general genes that the individual characters can be transformed into the common characteristics of the population, and the process of natural selection is just to fix the favorable individual genes, make the traits controlled by them change into the general characteristics of this population, and to eliminate the unfavorable genes, and eliminate the unfavorable traits..

Authors: Asaturov Konstantin , Teplova Tamara
Published: December 2020

The paper presents an ARMA-DCC-GARCH model used for a quantitative analysis of dynamic linkages between 26 stock markets in three regions (Americas, Europe and Asia) over the period from 1995 to 2012. Dynamic conditional correlations between the international equity markets were tested to reveal contagion effects and its origins. It was found that the US market spreads shocks to the majority of international stock markets during the Dotcom crisis of 2000-2002 and the Financial Crisis of 2007-2009. The German, French and British markets are also proved to be contagion originators during the Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 and Eurozone Crisis of 2010-2012. The authors provide evidence that, the German and French markets transmitted a positive effect from euro currency adoption in 2002 through Europe. Concerning the linkages in Eastern and Northern European region Russia is found to be a source of contagion for the neighboring countries in time of Russian stock market index (RTSI) fall in 2008 and Banking Crisis in 2004, whereas Poland with the second biggest equity market capitalization affected much fewer countries in the area during the Financial Crisis of 2007-2009. Poland’s entry into European Union in May 2004 had no impact on interrelationships between Polish and the other stock markets.

The analysis shows that there is no uniform understanding of marketing practices among researchers in the marketing field and representatives of Russian companies. Researchers define marketing practices as a set of marketing tools, the method of marketing activities organization within the company as well as the company’s ability to adapt to environmental factors. There is a fragmentary understanding of marketing practices among the representatives of Russian companies including marketing implementation tools, marketing management in the company and specific marketing activities.
Path Dependence Problem: The Evolution of Approaches
Authors: Auzan Alexandr
Published: December 2020

On 27 September, 2014, the Faculty of Economics of Lomonosov MSU celebrated the 60th anniversary of the dean Alexander Auzan in the form of a scientific discussion. The subject matter of the symposium was “The institutional issues of the long-term socio-economic dynamics”. The symposium was attended by more than 400 people including I. Abankina, T. Abankina, A. Aksakov, L. Alexeyeva, A. Arkhangelsky, Y. Beletsky, A. Dolgin, R. Enikolopov, S. Glazyev, A. Gnedovsky, A. Isaykin, R. Kapelyushnikov, G. Kleiner, B. Lapidus, A. Levinson, P. Medvedev, A.

Elvira Nabiullina, a graduate of the Faculty and the head of the Faculty’s Board of Trustees, opened the symposium. Alexander Auzan presented the keynote speech where he addressed such topics as path dependence, modernization as an issue and as a hypothesis, the role of informal institutions and universities. The discussion was moderated by Ilya Lomakin-Rumyantsev, the vice-president of the Faculty’s Development Council.
The path dependence problem is presented in the article from an interdisciplinary perspective. First insights into this problem appeared in the writings of Russian philosophers of the late XIX - early XX century, long before the American economists received the Nobel Prize for framing of the problem. Later the problem was specified in quantitative studies, followed by some versions of explanations. The new political economy raises the question of what can be done to cope with the problem and why certain hypotheses have failed. Individual studies of the author and his colleagues are primarily related to the role of universities.

Social and economic crises of the 1990s exerted a negative effect on the demographic processes in Russia of that time. The greatest increase in mortality was observed among young adults. The long-term effects of economic and social changes have also influenced the dynamics of mortality in post-crisis generations. The fact has conditioned the Russian peculiarities of mortality among young adults. The paper presents the results of the study which explains the phenomenon of excess mortality in young adults and shows the Russian peculiarities of mortality. The author identifies the changes in age limits of excess mortality among young adults, connected with the negative dynamics of mortality within the generation of the 1970s compared with neighbouring generations. To confirm the hypothesis that the dynamics of mortality in the generation of the 1970s will be a long-term one the author resorts to APC (Age, Period, Cohort) analysis. The study confirms the high importance of the cohort effect on mortality among the generation of the 1970s. This generation is most vulnerable to mortality and shows lower rates of decline in mortality in recent years as compared to other generations. If the trend of mortality continues, the aging generation of the 1970s will increase the negative impact on further rise in anticipated life expectancy.

Trajectories for Teaching Demography at the University
Authors: Kalmykova Natalia
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the reason for underestimating the use of mathematical methods in demographic courses for economists. The juxtaposition of population theories and methods of demographic analysis and the denial of so-called “formal demography” is a dead-end path that leads to a decreasing quality of training in an increasingly quantitative format of economic education. The paper discusses the options for teaching demographic courses in bachelor’s and master’s programs and demonstrates the need to move from a single compulsory course to a set of electives with demographic content, designed for students with different levels of mathematical training and diverse professional interests.

Process Innovations under Cournot Competition for N > 2
Authors: Shastitko Andrey
Published: December 2020

This study reveals incentives for process innovations and their effects related to different conditions of creation process and the provision of an access to the results of intellectual activity for companies in the absence of antitrust restrictions and unfair competition. The model of the process innovation is designed for competition à la Cournot for N firms. Conclusions on the effect of process innovations on changes in prices, volumes, consumer surplus and industry profit are presented. A numerical example is employed to identify cost thresholds for innovations and conditions for voluntary licensing. It is shown that the total effects of innovations are higher than the effects related to the returns of technological leader. This indicates not only the problem of probable underinvestment but also demonstrates transaction cost arising form the process innovation. Technology competition and cooperation cases for three initially symmetric firms are discussed.

Megaregulator as a Result of Evolution of Financial Regulation
Authors: Buklemishev Oleg , Danilov Yuriy , Kokorev Rostislav
Published: December 2020

Current transition to mega-regulation is the main trend of the financial regulatory reform. The paper examines this transition in a historical context as a natural result of evolution of the industrial organisation under globalization and conglomeration of financial sector. Alternative models of mega-regulation are dicussed: the “integral” approach, under which regulatory functions are concentrated within a single body, and the model of “twin peaks”, when regulatory mandates are distributed between two institutions on the functional principle (macro stability and consumer financial protection). We prove that despite current bias towards integrated approach, demerging of regulators within the framework of the “twin peaks” model has a key advantage of eliminating intra-institutional regulatory trade-offs.
