THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETITIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP STRATEGIES
Authors: Shmalii Nataliia
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the research of theoretical bases of formation of competitive entrepreneurship strategies. The current stage of development of the economy and society as a whole is based on constant changes, sharpening of global competition in all its manifestations, continuous process of technical and scientific innovations, limited resources and unlimited human needs, state policy in the field of entrepreneurship, financial market factors, etc. as a consequence for each business entity it is necessary to form and implement its strategy of competitive advantages. After all, the purpose of each enterprise is to receive a reward (profit) as a result of its activity. This issue is particularly relevant today.

Therefore, we have analysed the interpretation of the concept of competition and competitive strategy by various economists. The interrelation and interdependence between such economic categories as competition and competitive advantage are justified. The basic approaches to the formation of a competitive advantage strategy have been systematized. The basic competitive strategies of M. Porter, F. Kotler, and A. Little are analysed. These strategies relate to different approaches to the development of a company related to the change of one or more elements: product, market, industry, technology.

In order to develop and implement an effective competitive strategy, it is necessary to carry out a detailed analysis of opportunities, resources, market, competitors, to determine the right mechanism by which competitive advantage can generate profit in the long run. With global competition intensifying, competitive advantage is achieved through different methods based on different competitive strategies. What kind of strategy to choose and how to combine these strategies is decided by the enterprise itself, but any of these strategies is aimed at achieving a favorable and long-lasting position in the market, obtaining maximum and sustainable profit, resisting continuous competitive forces in the market.

Published: March 2020

The preparations isolated from the biomaterial of farm animals and fish were studied. These preparations (rumalon, alflutop) cannot be obtained in equal proportions and concentrations during their production. An algorithm for quantitative determination of components of peptides of natural origin based on the study of model drugs containing a glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex has been developed. Using infrared spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography, the concentrations of chondroitin sodium sulfate, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, protein, free amino acids and amino acids that make up the peptides (alflutop and rumalon) were established. In comparison with the majority of monocomponent drugs registered in the territory of the Russian Federation and containing chondroitin sodium sulfate at a concentration of 100 mg/ml, glucosamine drugs (200mg/ml), hyaluronic acid drugs (10 mg/ml) it was found that the main active components of the studied drugs weremore than 50, 100 and 7 times smaller. At the same time, the preparations under study contained a large percentage of free amino acids or short-chain peptides. It indirectly suggests their participation in the clinical efficacy of drugs based on natural peptides.
The developed algorithm for quantitative determination of components of peptide preparations of natural origin, including common and generally available methods sequence (identification of samples by infrared spectroscopy in comparison with standard samples, quantitative determination of chondroitin sodium sulfate, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, protein and amino acids by infrared spectroscopy and highly efficient liquid chromatography) is advisable to use when determining minimum specific values of contents (concentrations) of active components and adjuvants of peptide origin in studies and registration of drugs based on them, as well as to justify ways in order to search and explain the mechanisms of action of such compounds.

Pathogenic substantiation of application of erythropoietin modified forms and peptide analogues as cytotprotectors
Authors: Ivanov Igor , Nikiforov Aleksandr , Vengerovich Nikolai , Perelygin Vladimir V. , Proshina Ylia
Published: March 2020

Provides a review of the evidence from experimental and clinical studies on the blood-forming and non-blood-forming tissue protective effects of erythropoietin. Information on its side effects (stimulation of tumor growth, autoimmune reactions, arterial hypertension, etc.), limiting the clinical use as a cytoprotector, is summarized. Well-known modifications of the erythropoietin molecule with a tissue protective effect are considered, in particular, desialylated (asialoEPO), carboxylated (CEPO) and glutaraldehyde (GEPO) cytokine analogues.
The results of biomedical studies describing the tissue protective effects of these compounds, as well as possible mechanisms of their receptor action, are presented. The article discusses the main short-chain erythropoietin mimetics that reproduce individual active regions of cytokine amino acid sequence and contain from 11 to 25 amino acids: Helix B, ARA290, Eportis, Epopeptide-ab, MK-X, Epobis, NL100.
The biochemical mechanisms of cytoprotective action of erythropoietin and its derivatives are considered, including binding to the heterodimeric receptor of non-blood-forming tissues and activation of intracellular signaling molecules possessing properties of apopotosis inhibitors.
It was noted that the tissue protective effect of erythropoietin in vivo is observed in hemostimulating doses and is accompanied by side effects. At the same time, the use of modified forms of erythropoietin and its short-chain peptide analogues, which have a high affinity for the isoform of the erythropoietin receptor of non-blood-forming tissues and do not have hematopoietic properties, allows avoiding the development of side effects and reducing effective doses by 10-20 times.

Authors: Umarov Sergey Z.
Published: March 2020

In competitive conditions of the pharmaceutical market, a significant factor is the problem of identifying market trends; the need to identify competitors and threats, resources assessment. For this purpose, it is necessary to constantly collect and generate data on the basis of which an informed decision is developed by the heads of pharmacy organizations. However, a certain category of pharmaceutical management believes that business decision-making should be based solely on intuition and practical experience, which excludes the use of any quantitative information.

In the course of the data study from the retail sector of the pharmaceutical market, the possible formats of practical application are considered.

The totality of data characterizing the business processes in the pharmaceutical market was evaluated by the degree of structure. A classification method was used to characterize the sampling based on the primary data processing, methods of cross tabulation and frequency analysis were implemented.

The nature of the data is clearly illustrated, which makes it possible, if necessary, to obtain new quantitative indicators, such as, for example, Total number of sales by visitor groups, Average number of sales, etc., characterizing pharmaceutical business processes.

The processing of high-quality data of marketing information about the pharmaceutical market by the methods of frequency analysis and cross tabulation allows one to determine reasonably accurate the preferences of visitors of a particular category, which makes it possible to optimize the assortment policy and effectiveness of the pharmaceutical company as well.
ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF TEMPERATURE ON AXOPLASMIC FLUID PROPERTIES DEFINING NEURONAL EXCITATION
Authors: BHATIA S. , SHARMA P. , SINGH P. , BHATIA P.
Published: March 2020

Axoplasmic fluid properties for neuronal excitation have been investigated with respect to temperature. Density, the mass fraction of ions and rate of addition of ions are the parameters considered for characterizing axoplasmic fluid properties. The behavior of these parameters has been analyzed with respect to the changes in temperature ranging from -5 degree Celsius to 35 degree Celsius. The temperature has been defined using Q10of3 coefficient as done in the Hodgkin-Huxley model. The trend of these parameters at different temperatures has been depicted along the axonal length represented through x-axis of the graphs. The conduction velocities of the above said parameters have also been recorded at different temperatures. The range [-5,35] degree Celsius has been increased by 20 degrees, 10 degree on the lower side and 10 degree on the upper side of the range [-5,25] degree Celsius and it is found that temperature dependency using Q10of3 coefficient for said parameters is valid only in the temperature ranging from 5 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius as it is for membrane voltage in the Hodgkin-Huxley model. These findings strongly support the obtained results and also suggest obtaining the temperature coefficient value which is applicable for a wider range of temperatures impacting neuronal excitation.

Published: March 2020

This study ensures experimental and numerical investigation of different airfoils to observe and understand how camber ratio affects the flow characteristics over surface of different airfoils. Experimental results in the previous studies were used while the numerical study was performed for present investigation. Reynolds numbers based on the airfoil chords were 1x105 and the angle of attack of 8°. Instantaneous voltage output data were used in order to detect transition location for NACA 4412, oil surface visualization experiments were presented for NACA 2415. In the numerical analysis, values of u/U∞ and turbulent kinetic energy were presented for NACA 4415 airfoil. The experimental results denoted that the change of camber ratio and thickness significantly affected the flow phenomenon such as boundary layer separation or formation and progress of the laminar separation bubble. The long bubble was clearly observed with accumulation of pigments at oil-flow measurement experiment. By increasing the camber ratio with the use of NACA 4412 airfoil, the long bubble turned into the short bubble. Briefly, not only the progress and formation of laminar separation bubble was being affected, but also the onset of transition point was obviously influenced by changing of camber ratio.

Authors: KUMAR Dileep , ZEHRA Tayaba , JUNEJO Awais , BHANBHRO Sajid Ali , BASİT Muhammad
Published: March 2020

This study aims to calculate the performance of the novel design of wet cooling tower (NDWCT) using first law (energy) and second law (exergy) of thermodynamics. Moreover, it determines the economic feasibility (cost savings and payback period) and sustainability of the NDWCT using the life-cycle cost (LCC) and environmental assessment method. An appropriate mathematical model is developed and simulated in Engineering Equation Solver to calculate water savings, performance and payback period of additional investment. The simulation results have a good agreement with the experimental outcomes (error 2.6%). Simulation results revealed that the NDWCT consumes 34.48% less water than the conventional wet cooling tower (WCT). The installation of heat exchanger improves the performance of WCT by 6% because the consumption of water to air ratio increases. Moreover, the exergy destruction in the NDWCT is 1.23 MW lower than the conventional WCT. Additionally, the heat exchanger costs k$30.7 to save an annual fuel cost of k$72 which could be recovered within a payback period of 0.37 years. Lastly, the environmental assessment proves that the NDWCT relinquishes the particulate matter emission by 0.042 g/s.

Published: March 2020

Background: Failure to thrive (FTT) is a global problem and one of the most common health problems in childhood that involves many other social, economic, and cultural factors. Considering the adverse effects of FTT in the future of children, we studied FTT and its related factor in children under the age of 2 years in Bojnurd (the capital city of North Khorasan province, Iran).
Methods: This study was a Retrospective cohort study on 1000 health records, born in 2008-2013. Stratified sampling method was applied and the data were collected using a checklist in the health centers. Finally, data were analyzed using Chi-square, Multiple logistic regression, and independent t-test in SPSS19 software. Significant level was set at 5%.
Results: Incidence of FTT was calculated as 443 children (44.3%) in the children's first two years of life. A significant relationship was observed between FTT in children and head circumference disorders at birth (p=0.001), maternal age at delivery (p=0.01), mother's education level (OR=0.4   CI95% [0.2-0.8]  p=0.012), type of delivery (OR=0.5 CI95% [0.4-0.7]   p<0.001), unspecified gestational age (OR=3.6   CI95% [1.3-10.08   p=0.015]), and pregnancy under the age of 18 (OR=2.4   CI95% [1.1-5.3]  p=0.02). 
Conclusion: Considering the high incidence of FTT in children, increasing awareness about timely feeding, promoting households' health, preventing and controlling infectious diseases should be improved

Authors: Mobasher –Amini Khadijeh , Rezaei Behrooz , Esmaeilpour- Bandboni Mohammad
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Nurses experience more stress than other health care providers due to the nature of their job. Job stress has significant effects on the performance of nurses and health care organizations; it also endangers the health care quality and patients' safety. The purpose of this study was to identify the sources of occupational stress and their relationship with personal and occupational factors among nurses in teaching hospitals of Rasht, a city in north of Iran in 2016.
Methods: This cross-sectional and analytical study was conducted among nurses in the teaching hospitals in Rasht City in 2016. The sample size was estimated based on the Cochran formula. The study population included 250 nurses selected via stratified randomly from the clinical wards in seven hospitals.  Data were collected by demographic questionnaire and Toft - Anderson nurses' stress scale including 34 questions in seven domains of nurses' stressors. Data were analysed with independent t, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests using SPSS   V21.0 software (Significance level <0.05).
Results: The mean score of job stress (72.46 ± 12.47) was evaluated at the sever level. Based on the findings, 77.8% of the nurses reported that their stress was at the sever level and 21.7% reported a moderate level of stress. The most frequently mentioned sources of stress were related to "uncertainty in treatment", "suffering and death of patients", and "high workload". However, the least source of stress was related to "lack of support resources". Job stress had no significant correlation with personal and occupational characteristics (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: Given the high levels of nurses' job stress, continuous interventions are needed to decrease the nurses' stress at the individual and organizational levels, especially in the highest sources of stress including "uncertainty about treatment" and "workload". In this regard, we recommend the following interventions at primary (related to reducing stressors), secondary (aimed at reducing nurses' response to stressors), and tertiary (focusing on specific assistance to nurses with high levels of stress) levels.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Iranian students of health need to bone up on their academic English to be able to read the English sources of health as a factor contributing to community health promotion. In the Iranian academia, students are placed in Basic and General English courses not on the basis of proficiency levels, but on the basis of their academic majors with the same protocol, teaching materials, and methodology used for these heterogeneous classrooms leading to failure and dissatisfaction in the use of academic English as a vehicle for increasing their knowledge of community health. This study investigated the effect of English proficiency homogenization on linguistic proficiency of Iranian students of health as a means of health enhancement via reading English sources.
Materials & Methods: In this quasi-experimental study conducted in 2018, the Cambridge Placement Test was given to 71 students of three health majors at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences selected with convenient sampling method. The students were divided into three language ability groups using placement test percentiles and taught with two different protocols which were used till the midterm exam. The midterm exam was given and the data were collected and analyzed with SPSS20 using descriptive statistics, i.e., frequency, percentiles, mean, and standard deviation and also inferential statistics, i.e., one-way ANOVA, Levene statistic, Tukey HSD, and independent T-test.
Results: A significant difference was found between the three groups on the placement test (p=0.015); there was no significant difference among the three different academic majors with regard to Criterion-referenced Test (CRT) scores (p=0.05); there was no significant difference among the three Norm-referenced Test (NRT) forms (Forms A, B, & C) (p=0.05); also, there was a significant difference among the two CRT forms (Forms A, B) (p=0.05). Regarding the placement test, the significance indices demonstrated a significant difference between group A, on the one hand, and groups B and C, on the other with no significant difference between groups B and C (p=0.05). The findings of the second part of the post hoc test showed a significant difference for the midterm exam between Group A, on the one hand, and Group B
and Group C (p=0.05), on the other, with no significant difference between groups B and C (p=0.05), indicating the success of the present study.
Conclusion: The students of health should be grouped in Basic English and EGP courses, not based on their academic majors, but based on their English proficiency levels for a successful English pedagogy leading to successful use of English texts of health as a means of promoting health community.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Anxiety disorders are common psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.  It seems that the parent-child interaction affects or exacerbates the creation of anxiety disorders in children. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and happiness training in promoting parent-child interaction in mothers of anxious preschool children.
Methods: The research method was experimental with a pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population included all mothers of pre-school anxious children in Shahrekord in 2018. Using the multistage sampling method, 45 people were selected and put randomly in the control and two experimental groups (n=15 per group). The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and Pianta's Child-Parent Interaction Questionnaire (PACHIQ) were used for data collection. Experimental groups were put under mindfulness (eight 90-minute sessions) and happiness (ten 90-minute sessions) training, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Analysis of the data involved both inferential and descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation. Data analysis was conducted using one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANACOVA). SPSS version 24 was further used for analyzing the data. The significance level of research was considered to be α=0.05.
Results: The results indicated that both mindfulness (p=0.0001) and happiness (p=0.0001) training increased parent-child interaction in mothers of anxious preschool children. The mean ± SD of the post-test score of parent-child interaction in the control group was 96.73±7.89 which was significantly different from the experimental groups (p=0.0001). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of mindfulness (117.80±4.47) and happiness training (115.46±4.65) in promoting parent-child interaction in mothers of anxious children (p=0.599).
Conclusion: Mindfulness and happiness training were effective in improving parent-child interaction in mothers of preschoolers with anxiety and could similarly change the parent-child interaction in mothers of anxious children.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: The main benefits of green buildings for energy and water conservation have been investigated and well recognized in previous studies. However, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and human health benefits of green buildings have not been examined comprehensively. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review over the current status of green and non- green buildings on their occupants’ health and satisfaction.
Method: A systematic search was conducted throughout the following databases: Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Springer. We reviewed 690 articles that examined the relationship between buildings and health. In total, after excluding the irrelevant titles and non-­English articles, 40 papers were included in the final analysis. Articles that evaluated IEQ factors and occupants’ health through surveys from 2005 to 2018 years were selected for investigation.
Results: The most important result of this study was identification of important factors in IEQ, including building design, aesthetics, and ergonomics, which have been less evaluated in previous research. Contrary to our assumption, the results of several studies indicated a further decline in IEQ parameters in buildings with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED, USA) and Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM, Europe) certification. However, performance improvements were reported in green buildings located in Asia (especially Singapore and Taiwan).
Conclusion: According to this systematic review, we cannot claim that occupants of the green buildings enjoy higher IEQ, satisfaction, or health, compared with the occupants of non-green buildings.

Community empowerment as part of activities that are continuously socialized by the government receives very good attention, especially in empowering women. Many efforts have been made by various parties to make this woman empowered, including in the management of bodies where the general public considers that the management of corpse is only a modin task. This study aims to find out how the initial conditions of women in the management of corpse in the Tasikmadu village in Malang and how the process of empowering women and the changes that occur in the management of corpse through demonstration methods in the Tasikmadu village of Malang. This research is a participatory action research (PAR) using the method proposed by Kurt Lewin based on four main components, namely: planning, action, observation and reflection. The results of the study explained that the initial conditions of women in the Tasikmadu village were quite powerful but for empowerment in the management of the remains was minimal, due to the modin as the person in charge of the management of the corpse and the lack of knowledge and skills in the management of the corpse. While the training process uses the demonstration method, which is a method that is carried out by providing direct media, so participants can gain theoretical and practical experience. In the initial cycle, participants explored the theoretical side of corporeal materials in accordance with the Shari'a and corporeal materials. In the second cycle the participants gained firsthand experience to practice the material that had been obtained by the resource persons through puppet media about how to care for the body when experiencing death, bathing, believing, and soliciting to bury the bodies in groups.

One of the biggest threats from human activities to rivers is the increasing number of residential areas around or even just above the river flow. This condition is certainly very threatening the sustainability of rivers in the region. One of the biggest threats is that the garbage produced by the community will be directly disposed of in the river flow. One way that can be done to reduce waste disposal in the river is by utilizing river flow, so that many rivers are now increasingly being developed as a vehicle for habitat conservation, because the river is considered important for various aquatic plants, migratory and sedentary fishes, and aquaculture ponds, birds and several types of mammals. In this case, the concept of river management must be based on environmental, ecological, economic and social aspects according to the characteristics of the surrounding community. The purpose of this community service is to utilize river flow for tilapia fish farming. The method used in the service is the PAR by way of lectures and direct practice in aquaculture with karamba by utilizing river flow. From the results of community service including partners showed that some respondents know how to fish with karamba, but do not know that river flow can also be used for fish farming with the karamba system. As well as the results of fish farming practices with the karamba system most of the respondents agreed agree (73%) if the fish culture using the karamba system is used as an alternative business idea related to river flow utilization and 60% of respondents agree the use of river flow for fish cultivation can reduce waste disposal in the river.

Biosolids generated as waste from a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) are a pollution problem by the provision of large volumes in landfills and the waste of their potential as an agricultural input.  The research conducted trials to analyze the agricultural use of biosolids in a food company's WTP, their effects on the germination and development of the vegetal plant species Coriandrum sativum were assessed through trials that mixed different amounts of biosolids, land soil and commercial fertilizer, and took into account: planting site characteristics, biosolid and Coriandrum sativum. A random block design was made to compare treatments understudy and resulted in the combination of 50% biosolids with 50% land soil was the best test by germination, height, mass and length of the roots of the plant studied.  In the evaluation of results, the behavior of dependent variables was analyzed: germination, height, mass and length with respect to the four test types with their respective repetitions using ANOVA and Fisher's significant minimum difference (LSD) to determine the effect the biosolid had on the plant and to know the optimal dose for its development.  The germination rate (GR) was also determined in the trials, and 98.3% was found for the best treatment indicating that the substrate does not contain phytotoxic elements.
The role of social institutions in developing self-preservation behavior among the population

This article analyzes the population’s self-preservation behavior based on the example of residents of Russia’s Central Federal District. It is shown that self-preservation is a critical component when it comes to defining a country’s demographical configuration and social development forecast model. Self-preservation and its effects turn out to be a response to consequences of social policy and the overall dynamics of life quality indexes, while shaping generational varieties of chronotopes. Self-preservation trajectories and strategies evolve as a result of socialization assisted by primary social institutions. This article presents the results of studying the population’s self-preservation behavior models and the institutional factors which affect their development, while emphasizing the role of social institutions in shaping the people’s attitudes in regards to their own health. The influence of primary social institutions such as family and marriage, economic and political institutions, external socialization and the healthcare system on a person’s self-preservation attitudes is subject to analysis. Institutional influence is evaluated from a health condition and total life expectancy standpoint, while examining the effect institutions have on establishing self-preservation habitus and strategies, the significance of institutional barriers and the stressful impact that institutions have on the population. The empirical models used were based on studies conducted by the International Sociological Research Center at the Belgorod State National Research University in the Central Federal District in 2019. The results of those studies allowed for defining the role of social institutions within each index of the “importance model”. It was found that institutional impact plays a minimal role in terms of the people’s health status and solutions for modifying their attitudes towards the matter, while total life expectancy is determined primarily by economic institutions. Self-preservation behavior habitus is shaped through the institution of family and marriage. The study revealed a negative influence on self-preservation behavior through the institutional barriers of external socialization institutions. The healthcare system bore the greatest stress potential. The study can be concluded by saying that the population of the Central Federal District is prepared to assume personal responsibility for their health, and by pointing out a lack of any substantial dependence on institutions: when it comes to the people’s evaluation of their own self-preservation strategies, the role of an individual not bound by institutions, together with the institution of family and marriage, dominates in terms of the intrinsic impact of the roles of all social subjects.
Current and expected parameters of building digital competencies among the working population

This article is devoted to issues associated with developing a digital economy in the Russian Federation, given a context where digital technologies are finding their way into the work process. The current discussions on “digitalization” increasingly emphasize there not being any alternative to mastering these technologies. With it being a condition of employment, the use of various digital products demands that workers immerse themselves into the digital environment, which, in turn, sets the course for developing digital competencies. For starters, based on the authors examining a sample of job openings, the digital competencies that are currently in demand on the labor market were determined, with them having to correspond with workplace equipment status. All devices and technologies currently used by Russian enterprises and organizations are presented as digital means of labor, while being divided into classes and groups. Together they constitute certain parameters which the authors used as a foundation for their research on the digital competencies of workers or their digital career capital. Then analysis was conducted of data from a telephone survey of working residents of Saint-Petersburg, in order to determine their motivations and priorities when it comes to developing digital competencies. The results attained from the study suggest that building digital capital is demanded by the labor market, and that it can (and should) be focused on the needs of Russia’s economy. In the meantime digital competencies among the working population mostly depend on workers’ qualification, their age and abundance of digital technology in their everyday life. The latter is just as critical a factor as the work environment when it comes to defining the algorithms of familiarizing oneself with the products of the digital revolution. However, the population does not have a clear understanding on what digital knowledge and skills need to be acquired, while lacking the motivation to improve their skill set in this field. Employees often fail to see the opportunities offered by developing digital capital in the workplace. Regardless, most of them rightfully understand that changes in technology are inevitable and desirable, and that they need to be able to keep up. Hence this article analyzes, on one hand, the demand for digital competencies, shaped by the current situation on the labor market, and on the other hand – the motivations and expectations of the employees themselves in terms of possibilities for their use and further development. The results of the study allowed its authors to paint a comprehensive picture of the processes which bring the working population to enhance their digital competencies.
The impact of internal and external migration on demography, economy and interethnic relations in the Republic of Dagestan

Published: March 2020

This article, based on data from an expert survey, describes and interprets data from statistical observations together with the results of a mass survey conducted in the Republic of Dagestan, which was undertaken in order to study the regional characteristics of internal (within the country) and external (international) migration. It was discovered that regional migration processes, as perceived by the masses in Dagestan, reflect the statistical data, which shows a mechanical decline in the population due to a migratory exchange with other regions within the country, as well as a minor influx of migrant workers from nearby foreign countries. The main directions of internal migration for Dagestan’s residents appear to be highly developed in terms of their socio-economic situation regions such as Moscow and the cities of West Siberia. The material from the expert survey allows for meaningfully interpreting the characteristics of how such a factor as migration affects the demographic, socio-economic and sociopolitical aspects of life in Dagestan. Dagestan’s people’s firmly established outlook on the positive influence of migration on the region’s socio-economic situation, which supposedly decreases tension on the local labor market, is complemented by a notion that preserving such a tendency would create demographic risks in the long term such as aging of the population and a decrease in the birthrate. The majority of Dagestan’s residents are not yet concerned with the influx of immigrants, with the local population showing a high degree of tolerance in regards to external migrants. The article argues that such a tolerant and friendly attitude towards migrants has to do with both the modest amount of non-transit migrants in Dagestan and the fact that they tend to be similar to most peoples of Dagestan in terms of their socio-cultural profile, them being ethnic Muslims. Regardless, the demand for the government to implement measures aimed at the social adaptation and cultural integration of migrants (mainly teaching said migrants the Russian language and basic information on Russian legislation) is present even in Dagestan’s society, which is accustomed to ethnical and confessional diversity.
