Authors: Smirnov Valeriy , Semenov Vladislav , Zimin Sergei , Golubtsov Nikolay , Dulina Galina
Published: January 2021

The article considers the issue of the Russian economy reaching development limit, what actualizes the need to analyze the human capital index dynamics. The study of the human capital index components dynamics revealed a special priority of state policy. Analysis of the Russian educational system development revealed its feminization, which changes the principles of the modern society formation. A negative change in the Russian educational system was observed in the form of a significant decline in the growth of preschool youth of junior median age and preschool children of younger age, a significant gap in the growth rate of government spending on education (% of GDP) to spending on education as a percentage of total government spending. In general, the priority of state policy to ensure the survival of male children under 5 years of age and subsequent indifference to their socialization in the Russian educational system with clear signs of feminization escalate the problem of gender bias risk. The Russian economy development, based on the increment of surplus value in the process of exploitation of unskilled labor and the level of wages insufficient for natural reproduction of the latter, has reached its limit.

Authors: Tonkikh Natalia , Markova Tatiana , Zaborova Elena
Published: January 2021

Transformational processes in labor relations affect the employees’ social well-being. The published empirical works show that the values and perceptions of employment conditions differ among employees of various generations. The authors set the goal to develop and test a tool to monitor the work-life balance parameters of young people, belonging to the economically active part of Generation Z. The tool should be able to identify real and desired models of work-life balance and monitor well-being by satisfaction with the established ratio in the distribution of personal time over key areas that characterize the quality of life depending on the form and type of labor relations. When developing the tool, the authors paid special attention to the possibility of measuring the impact of modern flexible employment formats, including remote employment, on the social well-being of working youth of generation Z. The authors rely on the provisions of work/family border theory, generational theories and methods for assessing workplace toxicity. The application of sociological methods and instruments is justified. The authors developed a questionnaire for monitoring the satisfaction rate, tested during the pilot expert survey of young specialists in the Russian labor market by running a personal formalized survey. The respondents' responses were recorded in Google online questionnaire. An expert survey was conducted in May 2020. The results obtained confirmed that the tool allows to assess the required parameters. There was identified a positive relationship between flexible forms of employment and satisfaction with the work-life balance in the youth environment. Further research is considered to be promising.

Published: January 2021

The relevance of the research is due to the need to determine the effectiveness of the project approach from the point of view of network interaction. The purpose of the article is to test the method of network management of physical culture and sports activities of the University developed by the authors within the project approach. The implementation of the project approach has led to increased coverage and an increase in the number of stable connections in the network model. The network model is transformed from a concentric type to a distributed one by increasing the number of projects with active participation of Universities. In the scheme of network interaction, there are connections due to the need to ensure the implementation of training courses, in particular for FSBEI HE USUE connections appear to overcome resource constraints. Much more active is the inclusion of the physical culture and sports activities in projects initiated by state and municipal authorities, the corporate sector, sports organizations and Universities themselves. The number of participants actively using the network strategy has increased.

Published: January 2021

The production potential of an agricultural enterprise is a set of interacting production, labor and other resources at the disposal of this enterprise . The qualitative and quantitative parameters of these resources, as well as their degree of integration interaction, largely determine the production capabilities of an agricultural enterprise as an economic entity. At the same time , in our opinion , the production potential determines only the potential ability of an enterprise to produce goods or services , and therefore , in our opinion, it cannot be a fully objective indicator of its usefulness. The production potential of the enterprise can be fully realized, provided that its characteristics and its components meet certain parameters of the manufactured products.In the conditions of market competition, success can be achieved only if there is a high quality of the products produced.The production potential to a certain extent depends on the quality of products that are produced by the enterprise. The agricultural sector of the economy is labor-intensive, so the quality of manufactured products, and therefore the production potential of an agricultural enterprise, depends on successful motivation to work.

Negative Effects of Industrial Clustering on Region Social and Economic Development: System and Agglomeration Approach
Authors: Koshcheev Dmitry , Tretiakova Elena , Dao Thi Ngoc Loan
Published: January 2021

The Present investigation illustrates the negative side of industrial clustering which often makes regional social and economic policy ineffective. Analyzing data from 790 papers, we identified and described 5 key negative clustering effects. Drawing from a system and agglomeration approach we propose a conceptual mechanism that illustrates cluster influence on a region, focusing on internal parameters which determine the impact nature (positive, negative or neutral). The investigation showed that the genesis of all the negative effects is connected with the tendency of industrial clusters to close in on itself in the medium term. Based on these findings, we propose recommendations on industrial cluster negative influence minimization.

Authors: Chernenko Ilia , Kelchevskaya Natalya , Pelymskaya Irina
Published: January 2021

The paper aims to investigate the level of accumulated digital intellectual capital and investments in digital transformation in the Russian regions and study its impact on the gross regional product and companies’ revenue, as well as on the innovative activity of companies. The study relies on the multiple regression method to find significant relationships between digitalization and performance indicators in 85 Russian regions and cities of federal significance. The originality of the approach used in this study lies in the development of the digital capital theory: the authors assess the impact of accumulated digital intellectual capital and investment on the performance of manufacturing and service companies and show the difference in return on investment between sectors. The results of the study show that though Russian regions are at the initial stage of the digital economy development, digitalization has a significant positive impact on the financial and innovative performance. Manufacturing companies primarily use structural capital to create customer value. Service-oriented companies also receive a positive return on investment in human and relational capital. The results obtained can be applied in practice by the business community to support investment decisions and analyse the processes of creating digital intellectual capital in companies.

Eaeu common regional currency
Authors: Pliushcheva Galina Vladimirovna
Published: January 2021

The operation and development of the economies of the EAEU countries is subject to the influence of external economic factors, while the single currency will eliminate the risks associated with the restriction of the use of the dollar due to sanctions and will reduce transaction costs. The article offers an approach for the formation of a single internal currency within the EAEU that is based on the following key provisions: firstly, in modern conditions, the role of digital financial assets (and, consequently, cryptocurrency) is gaining importance in economic regional interaction; secondly, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan have not fully legitimized digital financial assets, but partially recognize them, while preserving the resource-specific nature of the financial and economic sphere; thirdly, the global trend for the demand for an alternative type of money should be considered. The proposed approach is addressed to small regional economic and political associations, which makes it possible to fairly quickly consider current and future changes in pricing of one unit of currency. In addition, the proposed approach can be scaled based on the growing influence of the previous and new members of the regional economic association.

Published: January 2021

This article provides Russian and foreign experience of successful implementation of projects for redevelopment of industrial zones in large cities. Some projects implemented in Moscow, St. Petersburg are considered in more details. Among foreign projects, the experience of such countries as Great Britain, the USA and China (Hong Kong) should be especially noted. The main goal of the redevelopment of industrial zones in large cities in Russia is to maintain a balance between comfort and convenience for citizens and the interest of investors to give in the implementation of such investment projects. The implementation of projects in the Russian Federation started in 2010. At present, part of the industrial zones in Moscow and St. Petersburg has been almost completely reorganized. Residential complexes, social and cultural facilities, shopping and entertainment centers, roads, parking lots and other infrastructure facilities have been built today instead of industrial zones. In order to meets the requirements of the modern economy, in some cases, industry production has been preserved. The main problems in the implementation of redevelopment projects have been identified, among them are: the absence of the necessary legislation and a clear systemic plan for the reorganization of urban spaces. The authors of the article propose to create a clear concept in Russia for the transformation and redevelopment of industrial areas based on the integrated development of entire residential neighborhoods with all infrastructure facilities, which must be adopted and evaluated with the support of government authorities.

Authors: Pitukhin Eugene , Astafyeva Marina , Kukolev Maxim
Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to forecasting changes in the number of people employed in the economy of the Russian Federation, which should occur as a result of the effects of the pension reform in 2018 and also the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The demographic forecast of the population of the Russian Federation until 2030 is used as the dominant forecasting factor. The influencing factors on the process dynamics are the employment levels. The forecast of employment levels is based on the factors of the pension reform in 2018 and the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The following trends are also being demonstrated: an increase in employment due to ”former” pensioners remaining in work, and a decline in employment due to an increase in the number of unemployed because of coronavirus pandemic. For the duration of the pension reform, the economy’s annual need for human resources will decrease. This will cause difficulties in finding a job for the majority of applicants – graduates of the vocational education system. The situation will be further aggravated by rising unemployment due to the reduction of jobs in the economy caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Can education quality be statistically measured?
Authors: Bagrova Ekaterina , Kruchinin Sergei
Published: January 2021

Currently there are many theories about quality education. The paper presents some of them. It also includes some points of Deming’s philosophy and statistical indicators implemented to determine lecturers’ achievements in Russian higher education. The paper shows that these indicators do not align with Deming's quality goals, according to both educational and quality theories. A new system of measurements should thus be developed. This system should be based upon ideas about the definition of a quality education, not only on personal achievements of instructors and lecturers.

Authors: Smolyakova Darya Kirillovna
Published: January 2021

The article studies the theoretical foundations of technologization of student behavior management in the modern system of secondary vocational education (SVE). The author systematizes scientific approaches to the study of technologization of human behavior management in the modern system of vocational education. Concepts such as “social behavior in a technologized society”, “technologization of student behavior management” and “educational behavior” have been elaborated and introduced into the conceptual apparatus of management sociology. The effectiveness of the educational process has been substantiated to primarily lie in the expansion of knowledge and the acquisition of the ability by students to apply it in new transformational situations, rather than depend on the simple assimilation of certain volumes of knowledge by students. Social technologization presupposes a convincing vision of the transformation of the educational program and a vision of modern education in the era of digitalization. The article presents the model of the process of social technologization and provides the classification of social technologies of management. The trends in the development and implementation of innovative social technologies for managing human behavior in modern educational institutions are identified and summarized.

Published: January 2021

The modern education system is facing new requirements and the society is putting forward new requirements among which the leading role is to improve the professional competence of teachers of mathematical disciplines. Mathematics has been used since the time of Pythagoras as the main tool for solving various practical problems in many areas of human activity. In this regard, there is a need to improve the level of mathematical training of modern youth . We believe that the training of future teachers of mathematical disciplines should be based on the principle of integration of humanitarian and mathematical skills, as well as wider use of information technology. In our opinion, such multi-faceted training will help future mathematics teachers to develop the skills required to form a correct understanding of the essence of mathematics, its significance for other Sciences and its significance for everyday life.

Authors: Zlokazov Kirill , Krivoshchekova Marina , Voroshilova Maria
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the problem of counteracting teenagers’ radicalization. It’s assumed that radical attitudes in teenagers’ environment negatively effect the formation and development of society. It’s underlined the growing desire to involve teenagers and youth in carrying out extremist and terrorist acts. Also there are considered modern theoretical concepts of radicalization, their specific essence. It‘s noted that all concepts take into account the role of disturbed or hampered social relationship as a latent factor of radicalization. On this basis we made the assumption about the influence of one’s representations about oneself on radicalization. A hypothesis is advanced about the influence of the certainty of identity on the manifestation of radical fanatical and nationalist convictions. Then the purpose, methods and procedure of empirical investigation of the certainty of self-identity and social identity are described, the sample of the study included 140 teenagers of 12 to 14 ages, 49% - male. It’s estimated the influence of the variables a) the certainty of self-identity; b) the certainty of social identity on the variables c) the fanatical attitude and d) the nationalistic attitude. One-way ANOVA is used as the main method. The results show that the uncertainty of self-identity reduces teenagers’ fanatical beliefs, and the certainty of social identity raises them. The parameters of the identity have no effect on the nationalist beliefs..
The strategies for Russian higher education regionalization and internationalization
Authors: Vasileva Elena , Zerchaninova Tatiana
Published: January 2021

Today the education internationalization has become one of the economy sectors in the developed countries; the export potential of Russian education is still largely underutilized. Until now, domestic and foreign scientific literature lacks a comprehensive study of state policies pursued by national states to develop the internationalization and/or regionalization. The study of internationalization policies tends to focus on in-depth case studies across two to three countries. However, studies with a narrow geographic scope, although they provide valuable information about this phenomenon, do not allow us to see a holistic picture. The article attempted to overcome the indicated gaps in scientific research by analyzing the strategies of higher education regionalization and internationalization at countries that occupy a large market share and formulate recommendations for Russia. The article argued that in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the priority area for the internationalization is the development of virtual mobility and internal internationalization and regionalization.
Basic theories of modern institutionalism

The article is devoted to the consideration of social and legal problems of building a stable state system in a situation of constant challenges of the modern technological world. The purpose of building the mechanisms of state social policy is to ensure social stability of society as the basis for economic development. The authors believe that the construction of a sustainable management system for the state's social policy is impossible without a comprehensive scientific understanding of the legal foundations of its functioning. One of the primary tasks of the scientific understanding of the system of social management is the awareness and fixation of public demand and social requirements for the value foundations of public administration. The second indispensable task is to assess the state of the legal system for regulating new socio-economic and legal relations of subjects within society.

Vehicle insurance: prospects of judicial dispute resolution
Authors: Egorova Olga
Published: January 2021

In the Russian Federation, the vehicle insurance sector is gaining more and more prevalence and importance, which is due not only to the annually increasing number of road accidents occurring, but also to the digitalization paradigm of the entire Russian society. Any interested person who has suffered damage has the intention to restore his rights, including property rights, which is not always possible at the pre-trial stage of the development of a vehicle insurance conflict. Despite attempts to legislatively reform the pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes in cases arising from the vehicle insurance contract aimed at increasing guarantees of the rights of consumers of financial services, the judicial procedure for resolving such disputes does not lose its relevance. The judicial protection of the consumer financial services rights reveals the issue of court interpretation of legal texts, in particular, the rules of insurance and the vehicle insurance contract concluded by the consumer of financial services with the insurer. In the texts of such agreements, financial organizations specify the types of insurance events that do not fall under the signs of an insured event, which is the basis for compensation for damage caused. The correctness of the consideration and resolution of the dispute actually depends on the correct interpretation of these legal texts.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Intra-articular lidocaine injections have been used to confirm the hip pathology and may predict the efficacy of arthroscopic surgery. We have routinely performed the injections as a surgical indicator. The aim of this study was to assess the duration and effectiveness of these diagnostic intra-articular lidocaine injections on groin pain in patients with labral tears involving early osteoarthritis. Methods: A total of 113 patients were included in this study. All patients received one injection of 10 ml of 1% lidocaine into the hip joint under fluoroscopy. The duration and effectiveness of the injection were assessed 2 weeks after the injection and at a minimum of 1 year of follow-up. The effect of the injection was graded as 0: unchanged or worse; 1: an effect only on the day of injection; 2: the effect lasted a few days; 3: the effect lasted about a week; and 4: symptom remission. In addition, we recorded whether hip arthroscopic surgery was eventually performed. Results: The effect was rated as 0 in 19 patients (16.8%), as 1 in 30 patients (26.5%), as 2 in 38 patients (33.6%), as 3 in 13 patients (11.5%), and as 4 in 13 patients (11.5%). Seventy-two patients (63.7%) underwent hip arthroscopic surgery. No relationship with patients’ characteristics was found. Conclusion: In total, 83% of patients experienced some effect of the lidocaine injection. Furthermore, 11.5% of patients experienced complete remission of their symptoms.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged from Wuhan, has now become pandemic and the mortality rate is growing exponentially. Clinical complication and fatality rate is much higher for patients having co-morbid issues. Compromised immune response and hyper inflammation is hall mark of pathogenesis and major cause of mortality. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or cytokine storm is a term used to affiliate the situation of hyper inflammation and therefore use of anti-cytokine and anti-inflammatory drugs is used to take care of this situation. Looking into the clinical benefit of these anti-inflammatory drugs, many of them enter into clinical trials. However, understanding the immunopathology of COVID-19 is important otherwise, indiscriminate use of these drugs could be fetal as there exists a very fine line of difference between viral clearing cytokines and inflammatory cytokines. If any drug suppresses the viral clearing cytokines, it will worsen the situation and hence, the use of these drugs must be based on the clinical condition, viral load, co-existing disease condition and severity of the infection.
Serum Levels and Adipose Tissue Gene Expression of Cathelicidin
Antimicrobial Peptide (CAMP) in Obesity and During Weight Loss
Authors: Hochberg Alexandra , Patz Marissa , Karrasch Thomas , Schäffler Andreas , Schmid Andreas
Published: January 2021

CAMP (Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide) is synthesized and secreted by
adipocytes and involved in adipose tissue (AT) innate immune response and
host defense of subcutaneous AT against Gram positive bacteria. Data on the
regulation of CAMP in obesity and during weight loss are scarce and
reference values do not exist. Serum CAMP levels (ELISA) and AT gene
expression levels (quantitative real time PCR) were investigated in two
large and longitudinal (12 months) cohorts of severely obese patients
undergoing either a low calorie diet (LCD; n=79) or bariatric
surgery (BS; n=156). The impact of metabolic factors on CAMP
expression in vitro was investigated in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
CAMP serum levels significantly increased after BS but not during LCD.
Females had lower CAMP serum levels and lower gene expression levels in
subcutaneous AT. CAMP was positively correlated to unfavorable metabolic
factors/adipokines and negatively to favorable
factors/adipokines. CAMP gene expression was higher in subcutaneous
than in visceral AT but serum CAMP levels were not correlated to levels of
AT gene expression. While certain bile acids upregulated CAMP expression in
vitro, high glucose/insulin as well as GLP-1 had an inhibitory
effect. There exist gender-specific and AT compartment-specific effects on
the regulation of CAMP gene expression. Weight loss induced by BS (but not
by LCD) upregulated CAMP serum levels suggesting the involvement of weight
loss-independent mechanisms in CAMP regulation such as bile acids, incretins
and metabolic factors. CAMP might represent an adipokine at the interface
between metabolism and innate immune response.
