COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN THE LINGUO-DIDACTIC ASPECT: EXPERIMENTAL DESCRIPTION (ACCORDING TO A STUDENT SURVEY)
Authors: Когоут И. , Клечкова Г. , Пешкова М. , Волтрова М.
Published: January 2021

Статья представляет результаты исследования, изучающего восприятие степени важности отдельных компонентов коммуникативной компетенции студентами – будущими преподавателями иностранных языков. Материалы исследования – данные опроса студентов Западночешского университета в г. Пльзень (специальности – «Английский язык», «Немецкий язык» и «Русский язык») в 2019 г. Рассматривалась важность компонентов коммуникативной компетенции в трех контекстах: коммуникация как таковая, обучение иностранным языкам в школе, вузовская подготовка преподавателей иностранных языков. Прагматические и межкультурные элементы коммуникации уходят на задний план во всех контекстах. Оказалось минимальным влияние на восприятие значимости компонентов коммуникативной компетенции таких факторов, как изучаемый иностранный язык, возраст или стажировка в стране изучаемого языка.

The article presents the results of a reaserch studying the perception of the importance of individual components of communicative competence by students, future teachers of foreign languages. The material of the study is the data of a survey conducted among students of the West Bohemian University in Pilsen with specialties in English, German and Russian in 2019. The survey researchs the importance of communicative competency components in three contexts: communication in general (discursive and strategic competencies are highlighted), learning foreign languages at school (discursive and linguistic competence dominate), university teaching of teachers of foreign languages (in the first place is linguistic, on the second discursive competence). The pragmatic and intercultural elements of communication are relegated to the background in all contexts. The impact on the perception of the importance of the components of communicative competence of such factors as a foreign language being studied, age or internship in the country of the language being studied seemed to be minimal.

Difference of Gain and Loss on Currency Translation and Conversion
Authors: Trang Thu , Su Nguyen Van
Published: January 2021

This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of translation and conversion of currency. Foreign currency translation is the process of reporting financial information from one currency to another. Foreign currency transactions take place on the spot, forward, or swap markets. Currencies bought or sold on the spot generally have to be delivered as soon as possible, that is, within 2 working days. Foreign currency translation is carried out to prepare joint financial reports. Translation is simply a change in monetary units, just as a balance sheet expressed in British pounds is restated into its US dollar equivalent. No physical exchange takes place, and no related transaction occurs as if a conversion were made.

Authors: Zhukovskaya O. Y.
Published: January 2021

The goal of the article is to analyze the new aspects of accumulation and usage, as well as the opportunities for growth of an important determinant of well-being – social capital – in connection with the active development of social networks under the conditions of digitalization and current social and economic situation. The interconnections as well as the development of social capital, social media and social networks in the context of the digital divide concept were investigated. It was suggested to distinguish digital social capital taking into account different sources and effects of this social and economic phenomenon. In addition, the econometric analysis of social capital, various social and economic indicators, as well as online activity was conducted. Based on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of modern social capital, social media and social networks, information and communication technologies (hereafter – ICT) were analysed, considering the dual nature of the Internet as well as digitalization.
Crimini contro le donne
Authors: Colesanti Gemma T. , Santoro Daniela
Published: January 2021

Il contributo si propone, attraverso lo studio della documentazione edita ed inedita del Mezzogiorno peninsulare e insulare, di mettere a fuoco la violenza perpetrata contro le donne in contesti sia urbani sia rurali nel tardo Medioevo. Il ricorso alla violenza appare frequente soprattutto nei casi di tradimento e concubinato che vedono implicati anche altri membri delle famiglie coinvolte. La violenza coniugale, con varie sfaccettature, è presente in buona parte della documentazione esaminata: una violenza spesso accettata socialmente, a cui le donne seppero in alcuni casi reagire, rivolgendosi alla giustizia. I privilegi reali, infine, illustrano la posizione indulgente dell’autorità regia anche rispetto ai crimini efferati in uno scenario che conferma, tranne poche eccezioni, la limitata tutela della vita delle donne di ogni rango e contesto sociale.
« Je me meurs deux fois »
Authors: Carcanague Marine
Published: January 2021

L’histoire des sentiments et des émotions est un prisme d’analyse pertinent pour aborder les processus de déclassement social au cours de l’époque moderne. En effet, elle permet de se placer du côté de la perception individuelle et de l’expérience de la mobilité sociale descendante. Celle-ci peut résulter d’un appauvrissement soudain, d’une rumeur, ou d’un échange d’insultes. En effet, les plaintes sont le siège de discours des contemporaines sur le déclassement et le déshonneur mais aussi le reflet de leurs actions devant la justice afin de lutter contre la déchéance sociale qu’elles affrontent. Il s’agit donc d’observer les démarches entreprises par les femmes afin de recouvrer leur position sociale.
Cadets, branches cadettes et déclassement social dans la noblesse française d’Ancien Régime
Authors: Haddad Élie
Published: January 2021

Cet article interroge les effets sociaux de la différence dans les héritages entre aînés et cadets au sein de la noblesse française entre XVIe et XVIIIe siècles, en prêtant attention aux changements, aux distinctions entre les types de noblesse (notamment robe et épée) et au genre. En partant de quelques familles de la noblesse moyenne prises comme exemples de logiques plus générales, il montre que le fait d’être cadet ne conduit pas nécessairement, au XVIe siècle, à un déclassement social relatif systémique, et ce en raison de mécanismes de compensation liés aux logiques sociales de la transmission dans le second ordre. En revanche, les transformations de ces dernières au cours du XVIIe siècle, notamment la restriction du nombre de mariages, restreignent les horizons de carrière des cadets et accentuent les différences entre aînés/aînées et cadets/cadettes. L’article confronte cette évolution aux discours du temps afin de mesurer de quelle façon est perçue cette différenciation sociale à une époque où l’on pense un monde ordonné hiérarchiquement et non divisé en classes. Il s’interroge sur les conséquences de cette perception emic sur les caractérisations sociales que nous produisons dans notre propre travail d’historien.
Le déclassement social. Une forme de reproduction familiale réussie ?
Authors: Boudjaaba Fabrice
Published: January 2021

Cet article s’intéresse à la question du déclassement social dans le monde paysan. Il fait le constat que l’historiographie du monde rural attentif aux formes de reproduction sociale « à l’identique » de la paysannerie ou aux effets dévastateurs des crises économiques ou démographiques a fait peu de place à cette question proprement dite. La question du déclassement est abordée ici à travers le cas des petits cultivateurs et vignerons d’un village proche de Paris, Ivry, qui voient leur environnement économique transformé dans la première moitié du 19e siècle par l’industrialisation. Il étudie la manière dont les vieilles familles paysannes, en cherchant à préserver un mode d’existence et de production finissent par se déclasser. Bien qu’elles bénéficient en début de période un avantage comparatif, notamment en termes de propriété foncière, ses familles ne parviennent pas à saisir les opportunités offertes par le développement du marché urbain (notamment le maraîchage) préférant continuer leurs activités traditionnelles. Le chapitre interroge à la fois les logiques individuelles et collectives de cette évolution sociale, qui ne peut s’analyser uniquement à travers des causes exogènes liées à l’industrialisation et aux transformations de l’environnement.
Una cronaca urbana contro la crisi familiare
Authors: Rossi Manuel
Published: January 2021

Il presente saggio vuole approfondire le reazioni culturali al declassamento attraverso un caso-studio: quello del pisano Luigi Navarrette (1638-1688). In particolar modo ci si soffermerà sul Sogno, la cronaca scritta da Navarrette in seguito all’accusa di furto ai danni del Monte Pio di Pisa con il conseguente arresto ed allontanamento dalla vita pubblica. Fu proprio per superare questa situazione di drammatica crisi che Luigi, oltre a difendersi in tribunale, elaborò una cronaca dedicata alla propria città. Tuttavia al centro del Sogno non troviamo l’histoire bataille della mitica Pisa repubblicana, bensì un «dialogo sopra l’ingratitudine dei pisani» ovvero il ritratto di una città soffocata, fiaccata dai suoi stessi cittadini con un evidente parallelismo tra la propria condizione di decadenza e quella dell’intera città. L’idea di utilizzare la cronaca come strumento di riscatto sociale fa del Sogno un unicum nell’annalistica toscana, offrendo a questa materia nuovi spunti di riflessione che si distaccano dalle osservazioni esclusivamente connesse alla tradizione antiquaria. Il Sogno costituisce dunque un’occasione per riflettere sull’utilizzo della cronaca come strumento di riscatto sociale e di capacità di rappresentazione di un’intera comunità urbana.

Published: January 2021

Objective

To develop best-practice recommendations using thermal indices to determine work-to-rest ratios and facilitate further implementation of environmental monitoring for heat safety in secondary school athletics in the United States.

Data Sources

A narrative review of the current literature on environmental monitoring for heat safety during athletics was conducted by content experts. A list of action-oriented recommendations was established from the narrative review and further refined using the Delphi method.

Conclusions

Assessment of wet bulb globe temperature at the site of activity and throughout the duration of the event is recommended to assist clinicians and administrators in making appropriate decisions regarding the duration and frequency of activity and rest periods. Activity-modification guidelines should be predetermined and approved by stakeholders and should outline specific actions to be followed, such as the work-to-rest ratio, frequency and timing of hydration breaks, and adjustment of total exercise duration, equipment, and clothing. Furthermore, integration of exertional heat illness injury data with environmental condition characteristics is critical for the development of evidence-based heat safety guidelines for secondary school athletics. Athletic trainers play an essential role in conducting prospective injury data collection, recording onsite wet bulb globe temperature levels, and implementing recommendations to protect the health and safety of athletes.
Quadriceps Oxygenation During Exercise in Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Jaffri Abbis H. , Lynch Maggie , Saliba Susan A. , Hart Joseph M.
Published: January 2021

Context

The causes of persistent muscle weakness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are not well known. Changes in muscle oxygenation have been proposed as a possible mechanism.

Objective

To investigate changes in quadriceps muscle oxygenation during knee extension in ACLR-involved and ACLR-uninvolved limbs.

Design

Case-control study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 20 individuals: 10 patients with primary, unilateral ACLR (7 women, 3 men; age = 22.90 ± 3.45 years, height = 170.81 ± 7.93 cm, mass = 73.7 ± 15.1 kg) and 10 matched control individuals (7 women, 3 men; age = 21.50 ± 2.99 years, height = 170.4 ± 10.7 cm, mass = 68.86 ± 9.51 kg).

Intervention(s)

Each participant completed a single data-collection session consisting of 5-second isometric contractions at 25%, 50%, and 75% of the volitional maximum followed by a 30-second maximal isometric knee-extension contraction.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) measures in the reconstructed thigh were continuously recorded (versus the uninvolved contralateral limb as well as the nondominant thigh of healthy control individuals) using 3 wearable, wireless near-infrared spectroscopy units placed superficially to the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris muscles. Relative changes in oxygenation were ensemble averaged and plotted for each contraction intensity with associated 90% CIs. Statistical significance occurred where portions of the exercise trials with CIs on the O2Hb graph did not overlap. Effect sizes (Cohen d, 90% CI) were determined for statistical significance.

Results

We observed less relative change in O2Hb in patients with ACLR than in healthy control participants in the rectus femoris at 25% (d = 2.1; 90% CI = 1.5, 2.7), 50% (d = 2.8; 90% CI = 2.6, 2.9), and 75% (d = 2.0; 90% CI = 1.9, 2.2) and for the vastus medialis at 75% (d = 1.5; 90% CI = 1.4, 1.5) and 100% (d = 2.6; 90% CI = 2.5, 2.7). Less relative change in O2Hb was also noted for the vastus medialis in ACLR-involved versus ACLR-uninvolved limbs at 100% (d = 2.62; 90% CI = 2.54, 2.70).

Conclusions

Quadriceps muscle oxygenation during exercise differed between patients with ACLR and healthy control individuals. However, not all portions of the quadriceps were affected uniformly across contraction intensities.
High water levels in Big Lake, caused by Hurricane Dorian (Sept. 7, 2019) and changes to Long Beach, Nova Scotia

Published: January 2021

Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 provided the first opportunity, since the present tidal channel opened through Long Beach in March 2019, to observe the impacts of storm generated waves and water level fluctuations along the inner shores of Big Lake. In-situ
water pressure and CTD recording gauges within Big Lake provided new insights into changes in hydrology that are occurring. The accelerated deterioration of Long Beach in 2018 and 2019 and its response to the presence of an inlet marks a new phase in its evolution, which may have begun 20 years ago
and possibly marks the renewal of a phase of barrier instability that prevailed before 1945.
Hurricane Dorian produced record water levels of 2.6-2.8 m (CGVD28) in Big Lake when it was tidal compared with 2.2 m (CGVD28) when it was non-tidal during Hurricane Juan (2003). In 2019, shore infrastructure along the exposed northern shores of Big Lake was damaged by strong easterly winds and
waves that coincided with high tide. Waves extended onshore to a maximum elevation of 3.04 m (CGVD28). This elevation provides a basis for mapping flood hazards along this shore at present sea level. In contrast, wave run-up of 4.0 m was measured along the outer shore at Long Beach. Therefore, while
the tidal inlet allowed the storm surge into the lake, the beach continued to protect inland properties against wave action during Hurricane Dorian. However, longshore changes to its crest elevation have caused differential landward shore migration. Physical response to future storms along each of
the three segments of Long Beach will be different as each segment migrates landward. For the near future, the western barrier should provide the best protection for inland properties against wave attack however, with projected rises in sea level, natural stress on the barrier will
continue.
Is thoracic facet joint arthritis over-reported? It’s time to review CT grading parameters - An analytical cross-sectional study
Authors: Tiwari Punit , Kaur Harmeet , Jha Vivek
Published: January 2021

Background: In the absence of any exclusive classification for dorsal FJA, there is a lot of confusion while labelling grade 1 FJA in thoracic spine based on decreased FJ space. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to know the facet joint space measurements in thoracic spine of asymptomatic and symptomatic participants and to comment whether the lower cut-off of 2 mm used in lumbar FJA classification can be safely applied in thoracic spine too. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019. Patients above 18 years of age in this study who underwent CT thorax for causes unrelated to dorsal spinal pain were included. IBM SPSS Statistics v 26 was used for statistical analysis. Results: We measured and analysed 1512 thoracic facet joints in 63 patients (30 females and 33 males) in both axial and sagittal plane on CT scan. Mean age of the entire sample was 59.19 ± 15.19 years, ranging from 33 to 97 years and a standard error of mean 1.365 years. Overall mean thoracic facet joint space was measured to be 1.270 mm ± 0.3416 mm, ranging from 0 to 3.1 mm and a standard error of mean 0.0088 mm and a variance of 0.117 mm. The median was 1.300 mm while mode was 1.1 mm. Conclusion: The popular lumbar FJA classification by Weishupt et al. cannot be applied in its present form in thoracic spine, without the modification in parameters of grade 1 FJA. The lower cut-off of normal thoracic facet joint space probably lies around 1 mm. MeSH Terms: Zygapophyseal joints, dorsal, thoracic, facet joint, arthritis, classification
Carpal tunnel syndrome or C8/T1 radiculoneuropathy due to perinural cyst: A diagnostic conundrum
Authors: Bhatia Vikas , Balaini Neeraj , Singh Paramjeet
Published: January 2021

Perineural cysts are usually described in Lumbosacral region and are uncommonly seen in cervical spine.These are mostly asymptomatic, with only a few cases of symptomatic cervical perineural cysts.No previous case report of perineural cyst causing C8/T1 radiculoneuropathy mimicking clinically as Carpal tunn?el syndrome is reported in the literature. We report a case of elderly female who was operated for presumed Carpal tunnel syndrome. However, her symptoms did not improve. The MRI of the patient revealed presence of perineural cysts at the level of C8/T1 exiting nerve root, compressing it and causing the symptoms. We present the clinical, nerve conduction study and radiological presentation of cervical perineural cyst mimicking Carpal tunnel syndrome in this patient.
Parathyroid cyst eclipsed by parathyroid adenoma: Value of adjunct imaging
Authors: Bhatia Khyati , Sarin Deepak , Singh Gopal Kumar , Singhal Alka Ashmita
Published: January 2021

Parathyroid cyst is a rare clinical entity and often presents as a diagnostic challenge, especially when presents in conjunction with a coexistent parathyroid adenoma. Patient with primary hyperparathyroidism had presented with a localised left inferior parathyroid adenoma with a coexistent right inferior parathyroid cyst which was initially missed on routine ultrasound and sestamibi scan. Suspicion of right inferior thyroid cyst was raised on ultrasound done by a dedicated parathyroid ultrasonologist. Right inferior thyroid cyst was confirmed to be parathyroid cyst on histopathological examination. Parathyroid cysts are seldom picked on sestamibi due to compressed parathyroid tissue present only at the periphery of the cyst. Hence, use of adjunct anatomical imaging like ultrasound, CT scan or MRI is worthwhile to reduce chances of missing hyperfunctional parathyroid tissue, which can eventually lead to revision surgery for persistent primary hyperparathyroidism.

Published: January 2021

Purpose This study assessed the correlation between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) biomarkers and the eighth American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system and the prognostic values of IgG antibodies against replication and transcription activator (Rta-IgG), IgA antibodies against Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1, and BamH1 Z transactivator (Zta-IgA) in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.Materials and Methods Serum EBV antibody levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 435 newly diagnosed stage III-IVA NPC patients administered intensity-modulated radiation therapy±chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).Results Rta-IgG and Zta-IgA levels were positively correlated with the N category and clinical stage. Patients with high Rta-IgG levels (> 29.07 U/mL) showed a significantly inferior prognosis as indicated by PFS (77% vs. 89.8%, p=0.004), distant metastasis–free survival (DMFS) (88.3% vs. 95.8%, p=0.021), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) (91.2% vs. 98.3%, p=0.009). High Rta-IgG levels were also significantly associated with inferior PFS and LRFS in multivariable analyses. In the low-level EBV DNA group (≤ 1,500 copies/mL), patients with high Rta-IgG levels had significantly inferior PFS and DMFS (both p < 0.05). However, in the high-level EBV DNA group, Rta-IgG levels were not significantly associated with PFS, DMFS, and LRFS. In the advanced T category (T3-4) subgroup, high Rta-IgG levels were also significantly associated with inferior PFS, DMFS, and LRFS (both p < 0.05).Conclusion Rta-IgG and Zta-IgA levels were strongly correlated with the TNM classification. Rta-IgG level was a negative prognostic factor in locoregionally advanced NPC patients, especially those with advanced T category or low EBV DNA level.
The Financial Cost of Interprofessional Ambulatory Training: What's the Bottom Line?
Authors: Block Lauren , Lalley Adam , LaVine Nancy A. , Coletti Daniel J. , Conigliaro Joseph , Achuonjei Joy , Block Adam E.
Published: January 2021

Background

Team-based care is recommended as a building block of high-performing primary care but has not been widely adapted in training sites. Cost may be one barrier to a team-based approach.

Objective

We quantified incremental annual faculty and staff costs as well as potential cost savings associated with an interprofessional (IP) ambulatory training program compared to a traditional residency clinic at the same site.

Methods

Cost calculations for the 2017–2018 academic year were made using US Department of Labor median salaries by profession and divided by the number of residents trained per year. Cost implications of lower no-show rates were calculated by multiplying the difference in no-show rate by the number of scheduled appointments, and then by the weighted average of the reimbursement rate.

Results

A total of 1572 arrived appointments were seen by the 10 residents in the IP program compared with 8689 arrived appointments seen by 57 residents in the traditional clinic. The no-show rate was 11.5% (265 of 2311) in the IP program and 19.2% (2532 of 13 154) in the traditional clinic (P < .001). Total cost to the health system through higher staffing needs was $113,897, or $11,390 per trained resident.

Conclusions

Total costs of the IP model due to higher faculty and staff to resident ratios totaled $11,390 per resident per year. Understanding the faculty and staff costs and potential cost-saving opportunities associated with transformation to an IP model may assist in sustainability.

Authors: R Suguna , K S Rani , C Aravinth Pandian , R Chandramohan , G Prithivraj , M Thirumalaikumar
Published: January 2021

Owing to its good torque to inertia ratio, less electromagnetic interference problems (EMI), good efficiency and roughness, the Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor finds broader applications. It is ideally suited to super fans, electric and hybrid cars, such as industrial robot actuators, extruder drive motors, and machine tools and home appliances for computer numerical control (CNC) drive. Various speed control strategies were implemented. Existing system uses fuzzy controller logic to control the speed. The proposed system aims in regulating the speed of sensor less BLDC fed with 4 switches 3 phase inverter. The proposed controller is ANFIS. The proposed system is estimated with less cost as it is working with no sensor and a smaller number of solid-state switches. Here, we are implementing back emf difference zero cross approximation technique and hence filter design is made easier. The MATLAB simulation was done and the prototype is developed in the laboratory. A comparison has been done between conventional fuzzy controller and ANFIS controller for the speed response characteristics. The experimental results were specified to bear out the uniqueness of the circuit and regulation of speed using ANFIS is better when compared with fuzzy.

Published: January 2021

Medical abnormalities in human body are often reflected by raise in temperature at various areas in the body. With the requirement of reliable non-invasive on the increase Infrared Thermal Image is an effective aiding in monitoring and diagnosing medical abnormalities. Existing research has applied Infrared Thermal Image effectively for various medical conditions like breast cancer screening, diabetes and peripheral vascular disorder, Risk Assessment and Treatment Monitoring. Thermal Image cameras are capable of capturing the body temperature variations, these temperature variations can lead to significant diagnosis in several areas ranging from simple flu caused by influenza virus to several conditions like diabetes, eye syndrome and thyroid to name a few. Heat distribution captured from Infrared Thermal Image by thermal cameras like Forward Looking Infrared Imaging (FLIR) with a sensitivity range of 0.10C and wide temperature ranging from - 100C to +1000C can produce good thermal images. This research suggests a non-expensive and non-obtrusive diagnostic procedure which utilizes thermal imaging for unexplored areas of applying thermal imaging and the possibility of extracting thermal variations with RGB images. To achieve the objective various image processing techniques like image preprocessing, selecting the Region of Interest (ROI), extraction by region segmentation, selective feature extraction and finally suitable classification of the relevant application selection are adopted. Results of the proposed method for detecting abnormality have been validated based on the temperature map histogram comparison from thermal image.

The dichrotic notches, ectopic beats and apertures are the prominent features that can be extracted from PPG signal for computing different physiological vital parameters. In this paper, we have discussed various feature extraction techniques.
Simulation of Robotic Arm for Spinal Surgeries Engineered to Replace a Surgeon’s Tasks
Authors: M Swathy , S Logesh Kumar , U Saranya , R Hariprasad , M Maniventhan
Published: January 2021

A most common abnormality that affects the vertebrae is the disc prolapse. These conditions normally transpire in lumbosacral region and enmesh the spinal nerve at that point. A detoriation to the motor and sensory nerve at that point has an immediate consequence on that particular organ connected with the ascending and descending tract. Disc prolapse in thoracic region leads either to nerve root irritation or cord compression and it needs an immediate surgery to remove the disc lesion which is usually done by discectomy technique, an invasive spine surgery. However, the proposed system is to create a minimally invasive procedure to detach the disc lesion of the spine. The controlled and patient specific pre-operative planning is done by MIMIC using 3D model of the MRI of that patient. The new techniques on robotic arm like segmentation and surgical simulation will provide information about the positioning of the end effectors. Using 3D model design, the robotic arm with 3 degree of freedom is done by the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD design software. SimMechanics is a MATLAB tool used for simulation of the physical model which gives control to the robotic arm. Furthermore, the simulation result gives the force used to produce torque at the joints and angle of joint due to torque produced. Finally, we show that the simulation in SimMechanics reduces the error occurrence in proto type construction.

The purpose of the study is to study and substantiate the criteria and indicators for ensuring the country's food security - one of the multifaceted problems of international and national character, affecting many social groups of the population. Food security characterizes the state of agro-industrial complex, in which, regardless of external and internal conditions, decrease in the State food reserve, the needs of residents for products are satisfied in accordance with physiological norms, in volumes sufficient for active and healthy life. The article considers FAO's methodological approaches to assessing food supply based on the availability of grain reserves and its per capita production, which are necessary for economic security at the interstate level. The problems associated with macroeconomic situation, production efficiency and the level of profitability of the population of the republic are considered. Data on development of agricultural production, income and quality of food is provided. It is shown that Kazakhstan is moving to a new stage of ensuring food security and price control by creating a national distribution network - a complex of wholesale distribution centers (WDC). A similar system operates in France, Spain and other economically developed countries. This project will be implemented in three stages until 2022, it is planned to build 24 WDC, which will act as a warehouse and manage product flows at retail outlets, distributing it among them.

The system of measures of public support for production of export-oriented agricultural products in Kazakhstan and the EAEU member States is considered, directions for its improvement are determined. Indicators of production of gross domestic product, gross agricultural output, the share of crop production industry in it on average for 2015-2019 are presented. The prospects for export of domestic food have been studied; for this purpose, it is necessary to strengthen agricultural specialization of each industry. The authors note that phytosanitary measures are currently not regulated, there is no unified method for calculating the level of support, unified requirements for obtaining breeding products, a unified procedure for animal identification, unified rules for laboratory research and veterinary control. It is required to systematize and harmonize the existing tools and mechanisms for the development of the branches of agro-industrial complex of the republic in order to form a single market for the States of the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as develop sectoral programs. The article substantiates the need for systematic public support for the development of agro-industrial complex, aimed at meeting the needs of the domestic market and the implementation of centralized policy to promote exports. It is shown that environmental friendliness is one of the main competitive advantages of food products in the republic, contributing to the strengthening of Kazakhstan's positions on external sales market. The structure of exports of Kazakhstani agricultural products should be focused on reducing the share of raw materials in favor of agricultural products with high added value. In industries with high export potential, large specialized commodity zones and optimal flows of goods will be formed in order to ensure the country's food security.

The theoretical and practical directions of development of ecological agriculture in the country are justified, based on the idea of closed cycle, which corresponds to ecological and economic principles. The works of domestic and foreign scientists on this issue were studied. The main economic indicators of agricultural production on the example of Pavlodar region were analyzed: dynamics of gross output of agricultural sector; the number of operating agricultural enterprises and peasant (private) farms; distribution of the land fund by land categories. Information on violation of environmental legislation in the field of land resources protection and on the volume of waste in the industry is provided. The problems that hinder the implementation of the main provisions of greening of production activities in agro-industrial complex are identified. Summarizing the arguments of domestic and foreign scientists, the need to develop and implement the mechanism of functioning of agricultural entities is shown, which is based on the use of secondary resources, implementation of which in the future will allow, using comprehensive analysis of the used technologies, to modernize the production capacities of processing enterprises, implementing the principle of minimizing waste, ensuring expansion of the market for environmenttally friendly products. Models of rational production are shown: outsourcing and in sourcing. Measures of public support for the use of environmental innovations, environmental insurance, public-private partnership instruments, strengthening control over compliance with the principles of rational environmental management, economic incentives for agricultural producers are proposed.

The relevance of the topic is determined by the importance in modern conditions of formation of mechanism for effective risk management in agriculture - one of the priority tasks of the development of agro-industrial complex. The authors analyze the problems of using the insurance mechanism in agricultural sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its importance in increasing the efficiency of production in the branches of agro-industrial complex is shown. Variants of using the insurance system such as risk management tool are considered, foreign experience in this area is studied. The features that characterize the insurance activity in crop production are revealed. For agricultural crops, this is government participation aimed at protecting farms from losses caused by emergencies; financial assistance in the implementation of insurance is manifested in the form of compensation for damage caused by insured events. It has been established that the existing insurance sector does not solve the main problem of protecting the property interests of policyholder related to compensation for losses if insurance payments are required. It was revealed that this mechanism has not received widespread use due to the extremely short term for concluding insurance policy. The aggregated nature of the indices makes it possible to obtain quantitative estimates of the probability of insured event occurring, to a certain extent, possessing the property of universality, regardless of the indicators used and methodology of their calculation. The experience of applying the mechanism of this type of insurance services on the materials of the East Kazakhstan region has been studied.

To identify problems in land management and find ways to solve them, the modern structure of organization of rational land use is considered. The analysis of the digitalization of economy in advanced foreign countries is carried out. It has been determined that in order to implement effective land policy, it is necessary to use modern geoinformation technologies, in particular, introduction of digitalization in the field of land relations regulation. It was revealed that in recent years digital technologies have been actively used in agriculture of the republic on the basis of space monitoring, which makes it possible to determine the areas of agricultural crops, species yield, and weediness of fields. The efficiency of land management based on the creation of information system - a unified state cadastre of real estate for the implementation of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" is shown. In matters of improving land use, it foresees the creation and implementation of a State cadastre of real estate and national spatial data infrastructure. Currently, a pilot project is being carried out to combine two information systems in order to obtain a unified information system for the real estate cadastre. It was concluded that provision of all types of services in accordance with land legislation must be converted into a digital format, thanks to which the public can get free access to information, the necessary services at a distance (without the obligatory attendance at public service centers), as well as in operational mode of obtaining them. For the efficient and rational use of land and work with real estate, a new structure should be created - the Real Estate Management Agency.

Their quantity and quality, which an enterprise has at its disposal, decisively influence the productivity of the company. Ensuring, maintaining and developing the Human Resources of companies are major concerns in modern management. The way Human Resources work can make a difference when material resources are the same. The choice of high quality Human Resources is a necessary condition for improving the company's performance. However, emphasizing the role of Human Resources does not mean an underestimation of other resources. The systematic design of the company involves the interdependent approach of resources starting from the fundamental objectives to whose achievement they compete together, from the essential connections that exist between them. Motivation is one of the traditional problems of studying organizational behavior and for years has aroused the interest of managers and researchers. In modern organizations, motivation has become even more important. This is due to the need for high productivity in order to become globally competitive. Knowing how to capture the creative and productive energy of the people who make up the enterprise is, in fact, the deep essence of the management of the Human Resources of the enterprise. The basic problem of a leader, in this context, should be how to succeed in influencing the performance of the people who work in the enterprise he leads. The main purpose of this article is to identify the main actions and decisions that determine the nature and content of the relationship between the organization and its employees.
