DRUG RELEASE FROM POROUS SPHERICAL PARTICLE: DIFFUSION MODEL WITH AN INTERMEDIATE COMPLEX FORMATION
Authors: Knyazeva Anna G.
Published: June 2022

This publication proposes a new model of drug release from a spherical particle that takes into account the transfer of the drug and the porous particle into the solution by forming an intermediate complex with the bio carrier, one of the components of the solution. The mathematical model is reduced to a dimension-less form that is convenient for qualitative analysis of the process. The problem is realized numerically. The initial stage of filling a porous particle with a bio carrier and stage of drug release into environment were analyzed. Two main types of kinetic curves corresponding to diffusive and convective modes were revealed. The kinetic curves with the initial stage of drug release delay were revealed. The model was in effects (unobvious at first glance) related to the interaction of opposite factors affecting the drug release. The different types of kinetic curves obtained on its basis correspond to different observational conditions, types of particles, and properties of bio fluids. This model can be improved to describe and predict drug release kinetics not only from single porous particles, but also from containers of more complex shape.

AFGAN MÜLTECİLERİN HABERDE TEMSİLİ
Authors: WAKİLİ Jamshid , CANGOZ İncilay
Published: June 2022

Bu makalenin konusu Türkiye’deki haber medyasının Afgan göçmenleri haberleştirmede kullandığı haber yapma politikasıdır. Haber sosyolojisi literatüründe medyanın olayları, insanları, göçmenleri nasıl sunduğunun önemine dikkat çekilir; çünkü insanların içinde yaşadıkları dünyaya, diğer insanlara ve nesnelere (şeylere) dair algı ve düşünceleri önemli oranda medyadan edindikleri haber ve enformasyona yaslanır. Bu nedenle de göçmen veya mültecilerin ev sahibi ülkenin haber medyasında nasıl haberleştirildiği önemli bir konudur. Araştırmada 2015-2021 yıllarını kapsayan 6 yıllık dönemde, ulusal ölçekte yayın yapan 4 gazeteden (Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Sabah ve Yeni Şafak) konusu Afgan göçmenler olan toplamda 926 adet haber toplanarak içerik analizi araştırma tekniği aracılığıyla ve 30 adet haber metni de nitel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın önemli bulguları şöyledir: Afgan göçmenler önemli bir simgesel yok edilme ve ötekileştirilmeye maruz bırakılmakta; göç yolunda yakalanma veya tekne batması gibi olumsuz olaylar, suçun faili olma veya şiddete maruz kalma gibi adli olaylar, iş gücü piyasasında çok ucuz emek olarak ev sahibi ülkede işçilerin ücretini düşürme gibi olumsuz konu ve bağlamlarda haber yapılmaktadır. Afganların “mağdur” ya da ev sahibi ülkeyi “tehdit edenler” şeklinde ikili bir temsil aracılığıyla sunulduğu görülürken siyasi konularda “siyasi silah” veya ekonomik kriz için de “günah keçisi” olarak sunuldukları görülmüştür.
WHEN IS AN ANNUITY NOT AN ANNUITY? Cape Tax Court (ITC 1797 (2005) 67 SATC 377)
Authors: RC Williams
Published: June 2022

The decision of the Cape Tax Court in ITC 1797 (2005) 67 SATC 377, upheld on appeal by a full bench of the Cape High Court sub nom CSARS v Higgo (2006) 68 SATC 278, throws new light on the nature, for tax purposes, of an “annuity” and the taxability of the returns on an amount invested by a person in a typical so-called “living annuity”. The usual terms of a “living annuity” – as exemplified by the facts of this case – are that the investor pays a financial institution a lump-sum and, in return, is entitled to withdraw, in each year, not less than 5% and not more than 20% of the amount invested, until such time as the capital amount and interest is exhausted. If any capital remains when the investor dies, then his rights to the residue pass to his heirs, who can withdraw in the same way until the capital and interest have been exhausted.In this case, SARS argued that the monthly amounts paid to the taxpayerin terms of the “living annuity” in question were indeed an “annuity” forincome tax purposes, and were therefore taxable as such in his hands.At first instance, the Cape Tax Court had held in ITC 1797 (2005) 67SATC 377 that the amounts, paid under the living annuity in issue, were notan “annuity” for income tax purposes, and that what was repaid to thetaxpayer, month by month, were part-repayments of the initial capitalinvestment plus interest. This finding was upheld on appeal by the CapeHigh Court.It follows that only the interest component of the monthly return on theinvestment, derived by an investor in this particular arrangement, is subjectto income tax, bearing in mind that receipts and accruals of interest up to aspecified annual amount are exempt from tax; see section 10(1)(xv)(bb) ofthe Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (hereinafter “the Act”).
LETTING GO OF THE LASH: THE EXTRAORDINARY TENACITY AND PROLONGED DECLINE OF JUDICIAL CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN BRITAIN AND ITS FORMER COLONIES IN AFRICA: PART 2
Authors: Angela Diane Crocker  , Stephen Allister Peté
Published: June 2022

This article continues from Part 1 in attempting to explain the extraordinary tenacity and prolonged decline of judicial corporal punishment in Britain and its former colonies in Africa. The focus in Part 2 is on the status of judicial corporal punishmentwithin a number of these former colonies. The majority of former British colonies in Africa appear to be moving towards eradicating the use of judicial corporal punishment in all courts, be they criminal or tribal. Some countries, such as Botswana, have made no move to abolish the practice of judicial corporal punishment, whilst others, such as Namibia and South Africa, have outlawed the practice completely. In other countries such as Tanzania, the position is unclear, with legislation still authorising the practice, although the courts have pronounced on its unconstitutional nature. What is clear is that in most of these countries, whether the practice has been abolished or not, public opinion on the matter is deeply divided. Continuous calls are made for the return of corporal punishment in those countries which have abolished it, while equally insistent calls are made for its removal in those countries which retain the practice.
CULTURAL MARRIAGE PRACTICES AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: TEARS OR TRIUMPH FOR WOMEN IN SOUTH AFRICA AND INDIA?
Authors: Managay Reddi
Published: June 2022

This article examines the prevalence of domestic violence against women in South Africa and India and identifies the legal measures that exist for the protection from domestic violence in both countries. The article further investigates the notion that the cultural marriage practices of lobola in South Africa and dowry in India, because of having mutated into unbridled consumerism, undermine women’s autonomy and contribute to gender-based violence. A brief examination is also conducted of the health and economic consequences of domestic violence against women. The article concludes with the recommendation that those cultural practices that undermine the autonomy of women and contribute to domestic violence be eradicated.
WHEN IS A VELDFIRE NOT A VELDFIRE? Gouda Boerdery Bk v Transnet 2005 5 SA 490 (SCA)
Authors: Michael Kidd
Published: June 2022

How does one identify the land on which a veldfire starts? Most people would answer that it would be the land on which the fire originated. This is not really stating anything different from the question, which could lead one to conclude that the answer is self-evident. According to the Supreme Court of Appeal, however, the land on which a veldfire starts is not the land on which a veldfire starts, if the fire is not a veldfire when it is on that land. This suggests, certainly in the context of the National Veld Fire and Forest FireAct 101 of 1998, that the answer to the question posed at the top of this paragraph is not so self-evident after all. The case of Gouda Boerdery Bk v Transnet (2005 5 SA 490 (SCA)) is noteworthy for two reasons. First, it is the first reported case in which application of section 34 of the National Veld Fire and Forest Fire Act 101 of 1998 (hereinafter “the Act”) is considered. Second, the Court’s interpretation and application of the section are, in my opinion, wrong (as can be surmised from my introductory comments).

The main side effects of statins in clinical practice
Authors: Chaulin Aleksey M.
Published: June 2022

Statins have long occupied a central place in cardiovascular medicine, being an integral component of the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease and its main clinical forms, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction; transient ischemic attacks, ischemic strokes, etc.). By blocking a key enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA-reductase), statins normalize the parameters of the lipid spectrum, primarily, the serum levels of atherogenic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, in addition to the beneficial effects of statins, side effects are also characteristic, which are a significant problem in modern clinical practice due to the fact that they can cause dangerous disorders, forcing physicians to reduce dosages or completely cancel these drugs. Understanding the side effects and the mechanisms underlying their formation is important for improving the measures for the early detection, prevention and treatment of those disorders. This article discusses such side effects of statins as myotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these toxic effects of statins are discussed. A particular attention is paid to the effect of statins on the oxidative stress, the mechanisms of oxidative damage to cellular macromolecules (lipids, proteins and DNA) and their potential role in the development of myotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
Machine Learning-Based Earthquake Catalog and Tomography Characterize the Middle-Northern Section of the Xiaojiang Fault Zone
Authors: Feng Tian , Zhang Miao , Xu Lisheng , Wu Jianping , Fang Lihua
Published: June 2022

The left-lateral strike-slip Xiaojiang fault is an important tectonic boundary between Sichuan–Yunnan diamond block and the Yangtze block, which accommodated several M > 7.0 damaging earthquakes in the past ∼500 yr, as well as intense tectonic deformation. However, the seismogenesis of its middle-northern section are not well understood due to the lack of dense stations. In this study, we analyze one year of continuous seismic records from November 2019 to November 2020, which are recorded at a recently deployed dense seismic array. We build a high-precision earthquake catalog for the region using our recently developed machine learning-based earthquake location workflow (LOC-FLOW), which consists of machine learning phase picking, phase association, velocity model updating, and station correction, absolute location, and double-difference relative location. We then adopt a double-difference tomography method (tomoDD) to refine locations of 16,000 events and build a high-resolution 3D velocity model using both machine learning differential times and cross-correlation differential times. The seismicity distribution not only delineates detailed geometry of the main fault system but also characterizes several branch faults, including two echelon subfaults crossing the north–south-striking main fault. The velocity model shows strong lateral heterogeneities and exhibits a clear relationship to the seismicity distribution: the boundary of high- and low-velocity regions or high-velocity regions above low-velocity bodies accommodate the majority of earthquakes. The variation of the constructed 3D velocity model can be well explained by geological and tectonic settings of the region. In addition, we identify two seismic gaps, which accumulate stress and imply the potential of hosting future moderate-to-large earthquakes. Our study demonstrates, with the aid of LOC-FLOW and tomoDD, machine learning-based phase picks lead to promising performance in constraining high-precision earthquake catalogs and constructing high-resolution velocity models. Machine learning-based tools are becoming the next generation of routine earthquake analysis.

Audio Feedback Project: A Project to Increase Social Presence in a Virtual Library and Knowledge Service
Authors: Holland Matt
Published: June 2022

Objective – This research project sought to determine if audio feedback in literature searches can increase the social presence of the library and create a positive view of the library service. It also explored the process of recording and sending audio feedback; tested its practicality, sustainability, and accessibility; and ascertained whether audio feedback enhanced the library’s communication, thereby creating a positive attitude toward the library and its services.
Methods – The research was conducted in a small virtual library and information service. The research sample consisted of all library users and clinicians who requested a mediated literature search between July 2019 and July 2020. All participants were sent an audio commentary on their search results, recorded by the librarian, and were asked to respond to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of five statements. The study participants indicated their agreement or disagreement with each statement on a five-point Likert scale.
Results – The researcher sent out 96 audio commentaries, generating 31 responses to the questionnaire. The results indicated that users felt the audio feedback improved their understanding of the results of their inquiry, made them feel more comfortable about using the library, enhanced their experience of communicating with the library and provided a better experience than just receiving an email. The responses broadly supported the contention that audio commentaries created social presence and generated a positive view of the library.
Conclusion – The researcher found that delivering audio feedback was both practical and sustainable. Some consideration was given to individual learning styles and how these made audio or text feedback more or less effective. Specifically, audio feedback enhanced communications better than an email alone.
Rubrics May Be a Useful Tool for Assessing MLIS Student Learning Experiences
Authors: Koos Jessica
Published: June 2022

A Review of:
Adkins, D., Buchanan, S. A., Bossaller, J. S., Brendler, B. M., Alston, J. K., & Moulaison Sandy, H. (2021). Assessing experiential learning to promote students’ diversity engagement. Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 62(2), 201–219. https://doi.org/10.3138/jelis.2019-0061
Abstract
Objective – To develop a rubric to assess diversity awareness and professional socialization through in-person or online experiential learning for online MLIS students.
Design – Exploratory case study.
Setting – School of Information Science & Learning Technologies, University of Missouri.
Subjects – Six experiential learning projects designed to promote diversity and professional socialization for online MLIS students.
Methods – The authors developed a rubric in order to evaluate the characteristics of several experiential learning projects. The major themes that were measured in the rubric were identified through a comprehensive literature search, and these included Professional Socialization, Service Orientation, Values Orientation, and Diversity & Inclusion. The authors also added three original accessibility factors that they considered relevant from a practical approach: time, money, and geographic mobility.
Main Results – The rubric was successfully applied to several ongoing experiential learning projects, as well as to a new project. The authors concluded that it provided a useful framework for assessing the accessibility and estimated value of these experiences.
Conclusion – The rubric seems to be a useful start to assessing experiential learning. However, more research is needed to ensure that it is actually measuring the domains that it is intended to measure. This study only focused on whether the rubric could be applied, whereas future studies should assess its accuracy. The rubric may be useful for curriculum evaluation and planning, accreditation, tenure/promotion, and instructor self-assessment.
How Affective and Emotional Labor Impede or Facilitate New Teaching Practices Among Information Literacy Instruction Librarians Is Inconclusive
Authors: Opuda Eugenia

A Review of:
Galoozis, E. (2019). Affective aspects of instruction librarians’ decisions to adopt new teaching practices: Laying the groundwork for incremental change. College & Research Libraries, 80(7), 1036–1050. https://doi.org/10.5860/crl.80.7.1036
Abstract
Objective – To investigate the correlation between emotional and affective labour and instruction librarians’ willingness to adopt and implement novel teaching and educational practices.
Design – Semi-structured interview, grounded theory.
Setting – Academic libraries in the Greater Western Library Alliance consortium.
Subjects – 12 information literacy librarians from the Greater Western Library Alliance consortium of 38 research libraries from the US.
Methods – In 2016, the author shared a call for study participants in the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) consortium, selected a convenience sample of 12 information literacy instruction (ILI) librarians, and conducted a structured interview over Adobe Connect, a virtual video-interviewing tool. Interview transcripts underwent initial thematic coding using a grounded theory approach. Additionally, the author used Walker and Symons’ theories of motivation to code interview responses related to emotional and affective labour.
Main Results – The author identified three thematic categories in the interview transcripts: barriers and influences for adopting new teaching practices, and practices implemented by ILI librarians. The author mapped these response themes to Walker and Symons’ (1997) conditions of human motivation: autonomy, competency, feedback, affirmation, and setting meaningful goals. Some major barriers to adopting new teaching practices are burnout and emotional exhaustion due to understaffing, time demands, the sheer quantity of instruction sessions, and the lack of post-instruction feedback to reinforce pedagogical decisions. A sense of competency, autonomy, and support when designing library instruction sessions encourages librarians to adopt new teaching practices. The author explored what practices ILI librarians applied to implement new teaching practices. Having plenty of time to prepare prior to an instruction session encourages ILI librarians to build new teaching practices into sessions. The respondents noted that building relationships with faculty, students, and library colleagues enables them to receive helpful feedback.
Conclusion – Though there is some correlation between affective and emotional labour and the motivation of ILI librarians to adopt and implement new teaching practices, the author notes that the results are not generalizable to a larger context based on the small sample size. It is clear there are many opportunities to investigate other factors that impact librarian motivation and emotional labour including the dynamics of race, gender identity, and disability, or the managerial and structural factors and workplace culture that impede or facilitate the adoption of new teaching practices.

Authors: ÇETİN Murat , BIÇAKÇI Nurcan , BIÇAKÇI Sercan , CUNNINGHAM Neil J
Published: June 2022

Objective: This study evaluated the general epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients admitted to the emergency department with shoulder dislocations.

Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted as a chart review at the Emergency Department of the *** State Hospital between 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2019.

Results: A total of 165 patients (median age 50 years and 60% of males) with anterior shoulder dislocations were included. The most common mechanism was traumatic dislocation (65.5%), the primary maneuver of treatment was traction/countertraction (80.6%), and 22.4% were recurrent dislocations. Males were younger and had more spontaneous dislocations. Also, patients with spontaneous dislocations were younger and predominantly males, and tended to be recurrent dislocations than traumatic ones.

Conclusions: Epidemiological characteristics of our patients were similar to a previous study conducted in Turkey, but slightly different from the studies in other populations. Further studies evaluating the incidence and long-term follow-up data are also needed to better elucidate the epidemiological features of shoulder dislocations.

Nowadays well logging curves are interpreted by geologists who preprocess the data and normalize the curves for this purpose. The preparation process can take a long time, especially when hundreds and thousands of wells are involved. This paper explores the applicability of Machine Learning methods to geology tasks, in particular the problem of lithology interpretation using well-logs, and also reveals the issue of the quality of such predictions in comparison with the interpretation of specialists. The authors of the article deployed three groups of Machine Learning algorithms: Random Forests, Gradient Boosting and Neural Networks, and also developed its own metric that takes into account the geological features of the study area and statistical proximity of lithotypes based on log curves values.

Background: Canine parvovirus-2 causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in dogs. Dogs from Mhow and Indore area suffering from symptoms related to gastroenteritis were investigated for the presence of Canine parvovirus-2 infection. Methods: A total of 50 faecal samples from dogs (33 male and 17 female) were collected individually in 5 ml of phosphate buffer saline solution in sterile containers. These samples were tested in haemagglutination assay using pig red blood cells for the presence of Canine parvovirus-2 specific antigen and in a molecular test, polymerase chain reaction, using primers to amplify Canine parvovirus-2 specific product of 681 base pairs. Result: A total of 5 faecal samples (10%) tested positive in haemagglutination assay indicative of presence of Canine parvoviral-2 antigen in the faecal material. Haemagglutinating titre for positive samples ranged from 32 to 1024. Only one faecal sample found positive in polymerase chain reaction test for amplification of Canine parvovirus-2 specific product. The results of the present study indicate presence of Canine parvoviral-2 infection in pet dogs suffering from gastroenteritis, however at a low level.

İşsizlik, iç ekonomik dengelerin bozulmasının açık göstergelerindendir. Genç işsizliği ve yetişkin işsizliği arasında benzer bir ilişki olsa da genç işsizlik oranları genel işsizlik oranlarından her zaman daha yüksek olmuştur. Genç işsizlik sorunu ülkelerin ortak ve en ciddi sorunlarından biridir. İşleyen ve büyüyen ekonomide işgücünün artması her ne kadar olumlu bir gelişme ise de bu durum işsizliğin kronik bir sorun haline geldiği ülkelerde problem halini alabilmektedir. Gençlerin işsizlik nedeniyle üretime katkı sunamamalarının önüne geçebilmek için her yıl yeni işgücünün ekonomiye dâhil olması yeni iş alanlarının oluşmasını gerektirmektedir. Dış ticaret, ülkelerin işsizlik oranlarını düşürmek için uygulayacağı yöntemlerden biridir. Dış ticaretin, üretim üzerinde oluşturduğu yapısal değişiklikler sonucunda, işgücü piyasası üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak bu çalışmanın temel gayesini oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla Türkiye için 2013Q1-2020Q2 dönemindeki çeyreklik veriler ile genç işsizlik, dış ticaret ve reel ekonomik büyüme değişkenleri arasındaki ilişki zamanla değişen nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak 2015Q4; 2016Q1, 2016Q2 dönemlerinde hem genç işsizlikten reel ekonomik büyümeye, ihracata ve ithalata hem de reel ekonomik büyümeden, ihracattan, ithalattan genç işsizliğe doğru çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada 1987-2015 döneminde Türkiye için yenilenebilir ve yenilenemez enerji tüketimi, işgücü ve sermayeyi ekleyerek doğrudan yabancı yatırım (DYY) ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki asimetrik ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlıyoruz. Bu amaçla, Türkiye bağlamında değişkenler arasındaki bağlantıyı analiz etmek için ilk kez doğrusal olmayan ARDL testi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlarımız, modele dahil edilen tüm değişkenlerin ekonomik büyüme ve üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Örneğin Türkiye’de uzun dönemde DYY’daki pozitif şokun %1’lik artışı ekonomik büyümeyi %0.053 artırırken,, negatif şoktaki %1’lik artış ekonomiyi %0,057 azaltmaktadır. Ayrıca, yenilenemeyen enerji (fosil yakıtlar), ekonomik büyümeye yenilenebilir enerjiden yaklaşık iki kat daha fazla katkıda bulunduğundan, Türkiye ekonomisi yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından ziyade ithal fosil yakıtlara bağımlıdır. Çalışmamız, Türkiye'de enerji verimliliği ve verimlilik konularının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçların politika çıkarımları çalışmanın sonunda sunulmuştur.

In recent times, technological innovations among nations are the most powerful instrument for higher economic growth rates and development. A higher level of achievement in the diffusion/adoption of technology can create more effective economic growth. Given this motivation, the study aims to examine the impact of technological achievements on economic growth, gross capital formation, medium and high-tech exports, and employment in chosen 72 countries over the period of 1990 - 2020. The unit root tests of the cross-section augmented Im-Pesaran-Shin (CIPS) test of Pesaran and also covariate Augmented Dickey-Fuller (CADF) test of Hansen, the Pedroni cointegration test, and then Pesaran ARDL model has been applied in the analysis of data. The ARDL model results reveal a statistically significant causality and positive relationships between the technology achievement index and GDP growth, gross capital formation, medium and high-tech exports, and employment significance at 1 percent level in the long run according to Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator. Consequently, technological innovations are linked with economic growth and macroeconomic factors, that is to say, to get higher growth needs to grow up adaptation of technology and also to produce and trade technology-specific products.

Published: June 2022

Enerji verimliliğinin sağlanması hükümet, reel sektör ve akademik kesim ekseninde önem arz eden bir konu haline gelmiş, enerji verimliliğinin artırılması, gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde iklim değişikliğiyle başa çıkmanın ve karbon emisyonlarını azaltmanın en etkili yollarından biri olarak kabul edilmeye başlamıştır. Daha fazla çıktı, daha az girdi stratejilerinin sadece yatırımların teknolojik alt yapılara yönlendirmesi neticesinde sağlanabileceği de su götürmez bir gerçek olarak göze çarpmaktadır. Bu durum çerçevesinde kaynakların etkin kullanılması ve bu sayede enerji verimliliğinin arttırılmasına yönelik çeşitli faaliyetler ancak teknolojik yatırımlara önemli düzeyde destek olabilecek finansal gelişmişlik ile birlikte sağlanabilir. Söz konusu çalışmada da enerji verimliliği ve finansal gelişmişlik arasında bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olup olmadığı test edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. 32 Avrupa ülkesinin (finansal gelişmişlik endeksi ve enerji verimliliği endeksinin 1998 ile 2017 tarihleri arasındaki yıllık verileri kullanılmıştır. Emirmahmutoğlu ve Köse (2011) panel nedensellik analizinin kullanıldığı çalışmada elde edilen bulgular panelin geneli için Finansal gelişmişlik ile enerji verimliliği arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisinin söz konusu olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Analize dâhil edilen ülkelerin özeline bakıldığında ise enerji verimliliğinden finansal gelişmişliğe doğru nedenselliğin Finlandiya, Fransa, Kıbrıs Rum Kesimi, Hırvatistan, İsveç, İtalya, İzlanda, Letonya, Litvanya, Lüksemburg, Macaristan ve Norveç için geçerli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Finansal gelişmişlikten enerji verimliliğine doğru nedenselliğin ise İsveç, İtalya, Polonya, Portekiz, Romanya, Slovakya ve Yunanistan için geçerli olduğu görülmektedir.
Reserves for Increasing the Fertility in Russia: to the Method of Assessment
Authors: Arkhangelskiy Vladimir , Fadeeva Tamara
Published: June 2022

The article considers methodical issues of estimating fertility growth reserves. Based on statistical information for Russia, this estimate for the total fertility rate is related to the upcoming changes in the sex and age structure of the population. And in relation to the total fertility rate, the reserves of increase in the first and second births are associated with overcoming the negative consequences of "timing shifts." The estimation of fertility growth reserves is based on fertility rates for both calendar years and real generations. The results of sociological studies of reproductive behavior give significantly greater opportunities for assessing fertility growth reserves (this work uses data from the "Selective Observation of Reproductive Plans of the Population" conducted by Rosstat in 2012). Relatively more feasible reserves for increasing the average number of children born in real generations (and, therefore, increasing the birth rate) are the difference in the average expected and available number of children, the proportion intending to give birth in the coming years. The larger but more complex reserve for increasing the average number of children born is the difference between the desired and the available number of children. The difference between the average expected number of children with an average and a low assessment of living conditions and the value of this indicator with a high assessment, differences in the average self-assessment of the likelihood of having a child in the coming years, with and without additional assistance to families with children.
The Impact of Working Time Modes on the Stability of the Financial Situation of Workers' Households

Published: June 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the influence of working time modes on the stability of the financial situation of households of Russian employees of organizations, taking into account differences in the level of qualification of employees. There are five variants of working time modes identified based on the length of the working day, working week and the number of working days per week. It was found that the most common employment model is with a standard working time mode - five days a week with a 40-hour working week and an 8-hour working day. It was revealed that the standard mode of working time compared with non-standard working time with employment of 4 or less days a week is associated with lower risks of unstable financial situation of workers' households. It is shown that the opportunities to ensure a stable financial situation of workers' households also differ depending on the level of qualification of employees: a higher level of qualification increases the chances of workers to bring their households out of poverty and low income. It is revealed that the presence of children practically deprives employees of the chances to ensure a stable financial situation in households, regardless of the mode of working time and the level of qualification of employees. When assessing employment opportunities to ensure the financial situation of households, an assessment of the depth of instability determined by the deficit of actual wages relative to its normative boundary was carried out. It is established that the standard mode of working time less often determines the depth of instability of the financial situation of workers' households associated with the risks of monetary poverty.
Interaction between non-state pension funds and citizens as a factor in the development of non-state pension provision

The article is devoted to the analysis of the interaction of non-state pension funds and citizens on issues of non-state pension provision (NPP). Non-state pension provision is one of the levels of the pension system, the purpose of which is to ensure the target pension amount. The analysis of the dynamics of NPP in Russia for 2011-2020 showed a consistent increase in the volume of pension reserves while stabilizing the number of participants (clients). Another market trend is its consolidation: the number of non-state pension funds (NPFs) operating in non-state pension provision has decreased from 146 in 2011 to 43 organizations by the end of 2020. An integral assessment of the activities of NPFs was carried out taking into account the Fishburn criterion by calculating the corresponding weighting coefficients for the indicators "Net assets per insured", "Pension reserves per insured", "Growth rate of pension reserves per insured", "Market share", "Accumulated profitability" and "Remuneration of the management company". An integral assessment of the activities of the NPF showed that the most significant factors for the activities of the NPF are such factors as an increase in net assets per insured person, the growth rate of pension savings per insured person. It is possible to increase such factors by attracting new participants (customers) and quality work with existing ones. Based on open data, it was concluded that a more active use of the bank sales channel and sales through partner networks can contribute to improving the interaction of non-state pension funds and citizens. The authors propose to consider financial marketplaces as one of the possible sales channels in the field of non-state pension provision.
Human Development Assessment in the Russian Federation

Published: June 2022

The article evaluates human development in the Russian Federation. An analysis of the Human Development Index data for 2015–2019, calculated according to the methodology of the UN Development Program, showed that, firstly, the level of coverage of the educated population in Russia is one of the highest in the world, therefore education is a fundamental factor in the growth of the HDI in the Russian Federation ; secondly, insufficient funding for the public health of the population determines the low life expectancy, which is one of the most important problems of the country that hinders the HDI; thirdly, the low level of GNI per capita, which forms a low standard of living in the Russian Federation in comparison with developed European countries, is an obstacle to the innovative development of human potential. An analysis of the impact of changes in the components of human development in the regions of the Russian Federation on the calculated human development index showed that there is a gap in the HDI indicators of various regions of the Russian Federation, causing disproportions in the economy and a general slowdown in the development of the country. It is proposed to use the author's methodology of the modernized HDI for a comprehensive assessment of the level of human development. The simulated index takes into account a larger number of its components to assess the real state of affairs in the country and the state, as well as to develop a strategy for improving human development. As a result of calculations and analysis of the modernized index, it was found that the HDI is significantly lower than the HDI (by 17.5%), which allows us to conclude that the concept of "human development" should include a wider set of requirements both to its essence and to its calculation. It was revealed that there are two indicators that are part of the AIDM, with very low values: the indicator of the needs for respect and recognition and the indicator of aesthetic needs. The failure in the indicators is due, on the one hand, to the insufficient impact on the human development of the scientific, managerial and creative intelligentsia in Russia, and on the other hand, to the underdevelopment of the “creative” and scientific sector of the economy and the state’s disinterest in investing in it.
