The issues of assessing the synergistic effects of networking in the area of tourism and recreation services at the regional level are only at the initial stage of discussion. The article presents a critical review of methods for assessing the synergistic effects of the interaction between subjects in socio-economic systems. Theauthor makes the conclusion that the overwhelming majority of the available tools are focused on calculating purely economic (quantitative) synergistic effect and economic efficiency. Besides, the article proves significant limitations in terms of the practical use of methods, including in the area of tourist and recreational services, have been proven. The paper presents the author’s methodology for assessing the effectiveness of networking in the area of tourism and recreation services at the regional level. The author also points out characteristics of the components of the cumulative effect of network interaction in the area of tourist and recreational services in the region. Theauthor methodology is for evaluating both synergistic and cumulative effects of network interaction. The paper presents the list of possible indicators. The method was tested on the example of Irkutsk region. The proposed method promotes the development of methodological grounds for studying the effectiveness of networking in the field of tourism and recreation services at the regional level.

Цель работы состояла в изучении сетевого взаимодействия в сфере туристско-рекреационных услуг в двух сходных по ряду признаков регионах России, выявлении характера происходящих изменений в межфирменных отношениях туристско-рекреационных предприятий в долгосрочной перспективе. Объектом исследования являлась сфера туристско-рекреационных услуг двух регионов – Иркутской области и Республики Бурятия. Гипотезы исследования заключались в предположении о специфичности межфирменного взаимодействия, обусловленного территориальной концентрацией предприятий, неустойчивой экономической ситуацией, отсутствием действенного координационного механизма в сфере туристско-рекреационных услуг регионов. Методология исследования базировалась на сформированном перечне характеристик и показателей межфирменных отношений, практическое проявление которых в сфере туристско-рекреационных услуг регионов Прибайкалья в долгосрочной перспективе было оценено посредством сравнения результатов двух серий эмпирических исследований (2013 г. и 2019 г.). Основными исследовательскими методами являлись экспертный опрос и сравнительный анализ. Эмпирическая верификация межфирменных отношений в сфере туристско-рекреационных услуг регионов Прибайкалья позволила выявить, что взаимодействие в отрасли характеризуется низкой степенью интеграции и готовностью к совместной деятельности, раскрытию информации и отношениям, рассчитанным на долгосрочное сотрудничество. При этом в долгосрочной перспективе данные негативные тенденции в рассматриваемых регионах изменяются неоднозначно. Существенным фактором воздействия на развитие взаимоотношений между партнерами был определен уровень конкуренции в отрасли. Исследование подтвердило заинтересованность предприятий сферы туристско-рекреационных услуг регионов Прибайкалья в активном сотрудничестве с органами государственной власти, однако было обнаружено, что представители региональных государственных структур по развитию туристско-рекреационной сферы слабо ориентированы на взаимодействия с бизнес-сообществом. Спецификой сетевого взаимодействия в сфере туристско-рекреационных услуг регионов Прибайкалья является существенная региональная концентрация ключевых партнеров по бизнесу, а также прямо пропорциональная зависимость между условиями конкуренции и развитием сетевого взаимодействия. The purpose of the research was to study the network interaction in the field of tourist and recreational services in two regions of Russia (the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia) that are similar in a number of signs, to identify the nature of the ongoing changes in the inter-company relations of tourist and recreational enterprises in the long term. The research hypotheses were based on the assumption of the intercompany interaction specificity due to the territorial concentration of enterprises, the unstable eco-nomic situation, and the lack of an effective coordination mecha-nism in the field of regional tourist and recreational services. The research methodology was based on the formed list of inter-company relations characteristics and indicators, the practical manifestation of which in the field of tourist and recreational ser-vices in the Baikal regions was estimated in the long term by com-paring the results of two empirical studies series (2013  2019). Empirical verification of intercompany relations in the field of tourist and recreational services in the Baikal regions revealed that cooperation in the industry is characterized by a low degree of integration and readiness for joint activities, information dis-closure and relationships designed for long-term cooperation. Moreover, in the long term, these negative trends in the regions under consideration vary ambiguously. A significant factor influ-encing the development of relationships between partners was determined by the level of competition in the industry.

Previous studies show households' selective residential mobility as a principal cause of residential segregation. However, a less studied aspect of residential segregation has been how foreign newcomers affect those mobility patterns and consequently residential segregation trends. This paper extends previous investigations by evaluating the effects of newly arrived immigrants on ethnic residential segregation from a dynamic perspective. Unlike previous studies, this study analyzes newcomers' neighborhood choices together with their direct, indirect, and cumulative effects on segregation. Results show that immigrant settlements not only exacerbate residential segregation by landing in already segregated areas (direct effect) but by triggering segregating promoting movements in households living in destination neighborhoods (undirect effect). Both results contribute to producing a higher level of segregation compared with a situation where newcomers would have been randomly allocated across the residential areas (cumulative effect). These findings highlight the importance of reception strategies in host cities to palliate segregation levels and demonstrates its cumulative effects.

BackgroundA growing body of evidence suggests that indicators of social disadvantage are associated with an increased risk of psychosis. However, only a few studies have specifically looked at cumulative effects and long-term associations. The aims of this study are: To compare the prevalence of specific indicators of social disadvantage at, and prior to, first contact with psychiatric services in patients suffering their first episode of psychosis and in a control sample. To explore long-term associations, cumulative effects, and direction of effects.MethodWe collected information on social disadvantage from 332 patients and from 301 controls recruited from the local population in South London. Three indicators of social disadvantage in childhood and six indicators of social disadvantage in adulthood were analysed.ResultsAcross all the domains considered, cases were more likely to report social disadvantage than were controls. Compared with controls, cases were approximately two times more likely to have had a parent die and approximately three times more likely to have experienced a long-term separation from one parent before the age of 17 years. Cases were also more likely than controls to report two or more indicators of adult social disadvantage, not only at first contact with psychiatric services [odds ratio (OR) 9.5], but also at onset of psychosis (OR 8.5), 1 year pre-onset (OR 4.5), and 5 years pre-onset (OR 2.9).ConclusionsGreater numbers of indicators of current and long-term exposure are associated with progressively greater odds of psychosis. There is some evidence that social disadvantage tends to cluster and accumulate.

Abstract Background and Objectives As informal caregiving becomes prevalent, its consequences for caregivers’ cognitive and socioemotional functioning gain more importance for society. There are inconsistent findings regarding the direction of the impact of caregiving—whether caregiving maintains or compromises functioning—and the impact of time—whether the effects accumulate or are stable. In this study, we elucidated 3 time effects of caregiving—concurrent, cumulative, and lagged effects—on cognitive and socioemotional functioning. Research Design and Methods We used data from Wave 1 (2002–2003) to Wave 8 (2016–2017) in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and latent growth curve models with the time-varying predictor to investigate 3 time effects of caregiving on cognitive function (memory and executive function) and well-being (life satisfaction and quality of life). Results Over and beyond age effects, current caregiving (concurrent effect) was related to worse well-being and better delayed recall. Little robust cumulative effect was found on cognition and well-being. In addition, there were significant and differential lagged effects of caregiving after controlling for concurrent and cumulative effects; that is, caregiving was related to worse well-being and better memory functioning 2–4 years later. Discussion and Implications The differential concurrent and lagged effects of caregiving on cognitive and socioemotional functioning suggest separate mechanisms for different domains of functioning. The nonsignificant cumulative effects but significant lagged effects imply that even one-time caregiving has long-term (2–4 years) consequences for the caregiver’s future functioning, and the mechanism of long-term caregiving effects may be more qualitative than quantitative.

Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) became an increasingly important component of environmental impact assessment (EIA; or simply environment assessment (EA)) shortly after formal processes for EIA were established in North America in the 1970s. Despite a growing body of literature addressing science requirements of exemplary EIA and CEA, practice remains contested. Our mission in preparing this review was to provide a critical update on progress in scientific developments associated with CEA and also to guide practitioners to a broad selection of the recent relevant peer-reviewed formal literature on CEA. In addition, we point to ways in which guidance for CEA practice could be improved. The study canvassed widely for refereed papers in journals and edited books as far back as 2000. On the matter of key concepts related to CEA, the paper addresses the definition of other activities to be assessed, establishment of time and space bounds, impact thresholds, methods for impact prediction, and stressor-based versus effect-based approaches. Definitions of cumulative effect are reviewed, with encouragement for continued work to elaborate the concept. Contributions from science to CEA practice are identified as follows: retrospective and prospective investigative protocols; basic ecological knowledge; effects knowledge; tools and methods; ecological grounds for threshold establishment; and analytically competent practitioners. We observe that the plethora of CEA frameworks populating the scientific literature offer practitioners helpful ways to think about the CEA process. CEA methods are then reviewed, with specific emphasis on geographic information systems, scenario-building, thresholds, indicators, simulation, and public engagement. Several case examples of CEA in practice are summarized, with the observation that none of the published case studies arises from work done to support CEA that is part of the regulated EIA process. The paper reflects on the role of CEA in project-specific EIA (or project EA) as well as class EA, strategic EA, and regional EA. CEA is needed in all forms of EA, but it seems to be particularly difficult to implement well in project-specific EIAs. Recommendations for improvements in guidance materials for practitioners address definitions, scenarios, analytical methods, collaborative methods, thresholds, knowledge accumulation, accidents and malfunctions, project scale, and knowledge integration. We conclude that competent CEA is a vital requirement for securing the sustainability of valued ecosystems and their components.
