Analysis of the practice of establishing the size of regional coefficients to the wages of workers in areas with unfavourable natural and climatic conditions and proposals for its improvement
Authors: Omelchenko Irina , Dozortzev Oleg , Danilina Marina
Published: July 2021

District coefficients are designed to compensate for differences in the cost of living of the population in the northern and eastern regions compared to the central and southern regions due to the unequal needs of the population. On the basis of the content analysis of the legislation the authors showed that in order to improve the legislation on regional coefficients to the wages of workers in areas with unfavorable natural and climatic conditions for the population, it is necessary to prepare new methodological approaches to determining the size of regional coefficients on the basis of the minimum (recovery) budget or the minimum consumer budget and to introduce the practice of establishing uniform regional coefficients for the wages of all employees of enterprises, organizations and institutions in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation or in municipal districts and urban districts within the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Novikova Irina , Kovalenko Lydia , Kulik Andrey
Published: July 2021

The social-and-economic transformations performed at the present stage of state development necessitate the formation and effective development of methods, mechanisms and tools for regional development. A key role in this development is occupied by an orientation towards the priorities of the implemented state social-and-economic policy. Based on the application of the method of relative differences, an order of ranking regions pursuant to the criterion of the current and strategic efficiency of the development of territories is proposed. The formation of a system of indicators that makes it possible to most correctly consider the largest number of factors characterizing the state of the regional economy will make it possible to maximize the potential of the territories, create conditions for achieving a socially oriented nature of transformations of the economic system while maintaining the stability of economic growth, and a gradual increase in the volume of national wealth. Assessing regional development based on the method of studying the competitive potential of territories seems to be effective, since it implies the possibility of improving the efficiency of managerial influence in this direction

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical aspects of building an integrated quality management system at milk processing enterprises. It is proved that quality management is a continuous process of influencing production by consistently implementing logically interrelated functions to ensure quality. An integrated quality management system is a set of structures and procedures, processes and resources required to implement quality management. It should be an integral part of the enterprise management system and should provide the management of the organization and / or the consumer with confidence that the product or service will meet the established quality requirements. It is proved that in the process of making a decision on the organization’s quality management system, measures are defined and planned to achieve the goals. The combination of these activities makes up the plan of organizational activity. For each of the activities included in the plan, the conditions for implementation and responsibility for implementation are determined. Since the quality management system actually covers all areas of the organization, then, of course, the processes of creating and implementing a quality management system in the enterprise will be associated with a change in the organizational structure of management.

Sustainable Development of Logistic Infrastructure of the Region
Authors: Borisova Vera , Pechenko Natalya
Published: July 2021

In recent decades, the speed of transformation of logistics infrastructure facilities has radically changed in Russia and its regions. The transformation of the logistics infrastructure led to the widespread use of artificial material means and resource-intensive production, the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, which led to the deterioration of the ecological state of the environment. Such development of systems is characterized by specialists as a technogenic type of ecological and economic management. Human activity in the context of the development of an economic system of a technogenic type leads to the destruction of the biosphere, environmental pollution and the destruction of the ecology of territories. The data of the state report “On the state and protection of the environment of the Russian Federation in 2019”, formed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, indicate a high degree of environmental pollution in the Russian Federation with a positive trend towards reduction. A possible solution to the problem of environmental pollution in the development of the logistics infrastructure of the region is to refer to world practices, namely to the concept of sustainable development. The basis of this concept lies in the sustainable development of all spheres of human life by maintaining a balance between the ecological, economic, social, cultural development of the region and the needs of people, in terms of efficient use of natural resources, energy-saving and environmental technologies, support of society, development of human resources, support of features cultural potential, preserving the integrity of the environment and biosphere for future generations.

Published: July 2021

The regulation of the processes of socio-economic development of economic systems is carried out in an extreme situation caused, including, by global hypercompetitiveness. The contradictions are especially acute in the economic systems, developing according to the innovation model. The work substantiates, that in the current conditions, increased attention should be paid to the balance of development of innovation-oriented economic systems. To identify the fact of balance and directions for its maintenance, a methodology for assessing the level of balance of the economic system is proposed. Within the framework of this methodology, it is recommended to assess the balance of development according to three functional components - market, production and personnel with the singling out four levels - absolute, relative, conditional balance and imbalance. Three positions are recommended as criteria - resource availability, efficiency and potential, which imply quantitative certainty, reflected in the system of indicators, grouped by functional components of balance. Objective difficulties, arising in the process of assessing the level of balanced development of the economic system can be compensated for by the multivariance in the system of assessed indicators and the criteria for their selection. The technique received practical approval according to the data of the Voronezh region.

Authors: Mashkina Natalya , Selyutina Ekaterina , Minaeva Anna
Published: July 2021

The article examines the key trends in the banking system of the Russian Federation in 2017-2019. The efficiency of the use of domestic financial resources and the intensity of accumulation processes largely determine the level of socio-economic development of the state, which confirms the key role of banks and the banking sector in the development of the national economy. Although the Russian banking sector is experiencing rapid growth, it still does not reach a sufficient level of development of the competitive environment and market discipline, which negatively affects the quality of banking services. The aim of the study is a comprehensive analysis of current trends in the development of the banking sector of the Russian Federation over the past three years. During the study, comparison methods and economic and statistical methods were used. The tasks of the work are to identify existing problems in the Russian banking sector and its prospects. The result of this work was a study of key indicators of the banking system of the Russian Federation in 2017-2019. This study analyzed the dynamics of the number of credit institutions, financial results of the banking sector, as well as the volume of credits and deposits of legal entities and individuals. The main conclusion of the work was that despite the active development of the Russian banking system in recent years, there are still problems that need to be solved. Global processes and challenges, such as the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and related restrictions, have a negative impact on the financial sector both in Russia and globally. This also includes foreign sanctions. In these circumstances, the subsequent development of the domestic banking sector will largely depend on the development of the situation with coronavirus and Russia’s diplomatic relations.
Analysis of Extractive Industry Concentration in Russia as a Factor Hindering the Sustainable Development of the Regions
Authors: Tagarov Bato
Published: July 2021

Modern economic growth is viewed through the prism of the paradigm of sustainable development. This work presents the reasons for the difficulties of transition to the sustainable development of an economy with a high share of extractive industry and shows that for the effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals it is necessary to change the economic model for reducing the role of this industry. The analysis of the extractive industry contribution to the gross regional product of Russia’s regions is carried out. The work considers changes in the extractive industry share, both in the country’s economy as a whole and in some of its regions. It is shown that, despite the decrease in this indicator value in most of Russia’s large regions, in general, the extractive industry share in GRP has increased. The dynamics in the level of the extractive industry concentration in regions is analyzed using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and the Krugman Index.

Authors: Moskvina A.V. , Belyakova G.Ia. , Likhachev M.A. , Mikhailova S.V.
Published: July 2021

The paper considers the problem of capacity growth of the economic system in the region due to accumulated or gross value added. The gross value added, as an indicator of the economic development of territories, is represented by the following sources of development: the salary fund for supporting labour potential, depreciation and profit, as means of ensuring reproduction in business. Assessing the region’s capacity potential is also carried out from the perspective of the potential of available resources accumulated by gross value added, with their subsequent transformation into the stock and labour capacity. Along with that, gross value added appears in two aspects: as a potential for resource development and as an economic effect of the subjects’ activities in the region, it allows using an indicative approach to modelling situations and making management decisions for its growth at various levels – from business to industry within macro-districts and municipalities. There is a logical chain of indicators, that moves from the investment potential formed and used to support resources to the results of using it in the form of GVA and capacity. The Krasnoyarsk Krai, consisting of 6 macrodistricts and 58 territories, is an object of the research. The subject of the research was the development of production systems in the territories with access to metrics assessing the transformation quality and efficiency. Their indicative form allows classifying territories and macro-districts by their use of available resources. In general, the research is analytical and is aimed at developing the regional policy to improve the technological structure of the economy, giving it greater stability in changing markets.

In the period of digitalization of the economy, informatization and automation of all business processes of any enterprise and the state as a whole is rapidly taking place. One of the global problems of any modern state is the problem of poverty associated with various economic aspects, including receiving benefits and compensations. The main group of the population with a high level of risk of falling into the group of the poor are pensioners, despite various social assistance programs. Social and economic support for the poor also reduces social tension in society. The main purpose of the research article is to build a fuzzy model for assessing the level of poverty in the region. The authors consider the essence of the concept of “poverty” and the existing methods for calculating the level of poverty in the region. FuzzyTech software was used to build and visualize the fuzzy model. In conclusion, the process of setting the fuzzy modeling problem and a description of its direct implementation by means of the selected software are described.

Students, teachers, parents of various social groups become hostages of colossal information, which is contradictory and affects the social norms of the culture of specific peoples. Education is becoming more inclusive. Social cognitive dissonance arises, negatively affecting the social health of participants in education. The paper presents a model of the concept of psychological safety of students, which includes the following components: 1) safe digital content, taking into account age characteristics and ethnic and confessional values; 2) preservation and strengthening of social health; 3) self-development of personal and professional qualities of participants in education, taking into account the cognitive needs and analysis of the digital footprint.
Adapting the E-course for Teacher Training in the Teacher Professional Development System
Authors: Doliner Leonid , Nazarov Vladimir
Published: July 2021

In modern educational system reform in Russia, there is a deepening contradiction between the required and real level of professional competence of teachers. One way to overcome this contradiction is the systematic professional development of the teaching staff implemented with the help of distance learning technologies (DLT). One of the means to ensure high quality of training is course evaluation by trainees. It allows for motivation and a high level of training, to understand the directions of the course modification. At the same time, teachers themselves are professional experts in training, and their assessment of the e-course may be more objective than that of the trainees of other professions. Additional vocational education is primarily characterized by a high degree of applied orientation to modern learning technologies. Such are the realities that changes, especially in digital technology in education, are changing rapidly. And it is so fast that, in fact, one person cannot be aware of the full range of directions in which they (the changes) are taking place. This problem can be solved using the DLT through systematic modification of the e-course. The object of the study in this paper is the process of teachers’ training in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff using distance learning technologies. The subject of the study: the mechanism of optimization of elearning distance learning courses used in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff. Research purpose: to identify mechanisms to optimize the effectiveness of e-courses to increase trainees’ motivation, correlation of theory content with practice with the help of trainees themselves under conditions of synergetic approach [1]. Research objectives: a) to identify parameters for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; b) to develop a toolkit for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; c) to develop recommendations for improving the effectiveness of e-courses. The method used in the study is the analysis of pedagogical literature, Google-form-based questionnaire, synthesis, and generalization. The novelty of the study is related to the creation of conditions for modifying e-courses for teachers’ professional development through the examination of the course by the teachers themselves. This article is written within the framework of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research project 19-29-14176 “Building a Fundamental Model of Digital Transformation of the General Education System Using a Digital Platform for Results-Based Education”.

Authors: Burlakova Irina , Khoroshavina Galina , Anisimova Lyudmila
Published: July 2021

The scientific and methodological basis of the modern concept of higher education is the synergetic unity of classical and modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. Modern higher education is focused on introducing a young person to fundamental knowledge, on developing practical skills in future professional activities and preparing them for lifelong learning. However, modern education is not focused on the student’s life and professional self-determination. The integrated use of personality-oriented technologies in the educational process helps to stimulate the development of personal potential, mental activity, “launches” the development of cognitive processes, and contributes to the formation of competencies necessary for a future specialist. Personaloriented education at the University will help to the painless entry of a young specialist into professional activities and professional community.

Der Stellenwert des Bauchgefühls als Warnsignal für
Fehldiagnosen im Psychosomatischen Konsil
Authors: Seidl Otmar , Seidl Elias , Schwerthöffer Dirk
Published: July 2021

Hintergrund Der Psychosomatische Konsiliardienst bietet die
Möglichkeit zur Korrektur von Fehldiagnosen. Die nicht-analytischen,
erfahrungsbasierten Bauchgefühle des Arztes spielen dabei als
diagnostische Wegbereiter eine wesentliche Rolle.

Methodik In einer Fallserien-Studie wurden die Abläufe von 165
psychosomatischen Konsilen und die dabei im Konsiliarius auftretenden
emotionalen und kognitiven Prozesse erfasst. Der diagnostische Prozess wurde
unter Bezugnahme auf die duale Prozesstheorie analysiert. Beim
Bauchgefühl wurde zwischen einem sense of alarm und einen sense of
reassurance unterschieden. Exemplarisch wurden bei vier Konsilen die Prozesse
dargestellt, die zur Aufdeckung von Fehldiagnosen führten.

Ergebnisse In 24 Konsilen (16%) wurde eine Fehldiagnose
festgestellt. Anlass hierfür war immer ein sense of alarm, der sich in
29 von 165 Konsilen (18%) einstellte. In 11 Konsilen (7%)
bestand ein sense of reassurance, der in zehn Konsilen mit einer
Bestätigung der Diagnose assoziiert war und nur in einem Fall einem
sense of alarm wich und zu einer Diagnosekorrektur führte.

Schlussfolgerungen Die Beachtung des Bauchgefühls und seines sense
of alarm ist eine effektive Methode, Fehldiagnosen zu erkennen.
Ausbildungsprogramme sollten nicht nur das rational-analytische Denken, sondern
auch die selbstkritische Introspektionsfähigkeit des Arztes
fördern.

Published: July 2021

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disorder caused by changes of the FMR1 gene that is passed along among families. A range of developmental processes may be impacted with wide variation in abilities across individuals with FXS. Mothers of children with FXS are often carriers of a “premutation” expansion on the FMR1 gene, which is associated with its own clinical phenotype. These maternal features may increase individual and family vulnerabilities, including increased risk for depression and anxiety disorders and difficulties in social and cognitive ability. These characteristics may worsen with age, and potentially interact with a child's challenging behaviors and with family dynamics. Thus, families of children with FXS may experience unique challenges related to genetic risk, manifested across both children and parents, that should be considered in therapeutic planning to optimize outcomes for children and their families. In this article, we review core features of the FMR1 premutation as expressed in mothers and aspects of the family environment that interface with developmental outcomes of children with FXS. Recommendations for family-centered support services are discussed.
Mental State Language Use in Children with Down Syndrome and the Role of Caregivers
Authors: Channell Marie Moore , Bosley Rebekah
Published: July 2021

Children with Down syndrome (DS) have both strengths and difficulties in speech, language, and social communication. Mental state language—the ability to discuss others' perspectives such as their thoughts, feelings, and intentions—represents a foundational social communicative skill that is delayed in many children with DS, even into the school-age years. The purpose of this article is to review the evidence base on mental state language development in school-age children with DS, focusing in particular on assessment and intervention. We discuss assessment procedures that are both age appropriate and developmentally appropriate for this population. We also present preliminary data highlighting the role of caregivers in supporting mental state language development in school-age children with DS through shared storytelling. We propose that interventions aimed at supporting mental state language development in DS should include a focus on caregiver–child shared storybook reading, even in the school-age years. Therefore, we discuss key considerations for clinicians when teaching caregivers strategies for supporting mental state language and social communication in children with DS.

This article aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of biodegradable stents in the management of benign biliary strictures. This is a retrospective observational study that included all adult patients who had biodegradable stent placement for a benign cause of biliary stricture between July 2016 and August 2019. Nineteen patients were included. Seventeen patients had liver transplant. One patient had hepaticojejunostomy due to primary sclerosing cholangitis and one patient had iatrogenic left main bile duct occlusion. Stents were successfully deployed in all 19 patients (technical success: 100%). Patency rate was 90% (17/19) at 6 months and 80% (12/15) at 12 months. Seven patients in the study had stricture recurrence and needed reintervention with mean time to reintervention of 418 days (range: 8–1,155 days). There was one major complication due to cholangitis and sepsis, which required a treatment course with piperacillin/tazobactam for 10 days. No procedure-related pancreatitis or deaths occurred. Biodegradable stents are a safe and effective treatment option for benign biliary strictures and can achieve long-term patency without the need for reinterventions.

Lithium-salt-based deep eutectic solvents: Importance of glass formation and rotation-translation coupling for the ionic charge transport

Published: July 2021

Lithium-salt-based deep eutectic solvents, where the only cation is Li+, are promising candidates as electrolytes in electrochemical energy-storage devices, such as batteries. We have performed broadband dielectric spectroscopy on three such systems, covering a broad temperature and dynamic range that extends from the low-viscosity liquid around room temperature down to the glassy state approaching the glass-transition temperature. We detect a relaxational process that can be ascribed to dipolar reorientational dynamics and exhibits the clear signatures of glassy freezing. We find that the temperature dependence of the ionic dc conductivity and its room-temperature value also are governed by the glassy dynamics of these systems, depending, e.g., on the glass-transition temperature and fragility. Compared to the previously investigated corresponding systems, containing choline chloride instead of a lithium salt, both the reorientational and ionic dynamics are significantly reduced due to variations in the glass-transition temperature and the higher ionic potential of the lithium ions. These lithium-based deep eutectic solvents partly exhibit significant decoupling of the dipolar reorientational and the ionic translational dynamics and approximately follow a fractional Debye–Stokes–Einstein relation, leading to an enhancement of the dc conductivity, especially at low temperatures. The presented results clearly reveal the importance of decoupling effects and of the typical glass-forming properties of these systems for the technically relevant room-temperature conductivity.
