The article is devoted to the analysis of the modern aspects of the reproduction process transformation in the context of the development of Russian economy. To achieve this goal, the work analyzes the transformation of the stages of social reproduction, as well as evaluates its impact on the relevant process scheme. It has been established that today each stage is undergoing significant changes, in particular, production methods and manufactured products are improved, the distribution of resources between sectors of economy is changing, exchange processes are expanding, and goals and methods of consumption are transformed. Among the features of modern reproduction models, the growth of the non-material sphere due to the development of the service market and their integration with material production, the implementation of the reproduction of a social product based on innovative production and Schumpeter competition, the establishment of human capital being a source of innovation as the basis of the reproduction process, should be noted. The current level of the development of Russian economy and promising requirements for the reproduction process in the neo-industrial model lead to the need to separate the stage of institutional and technological design of the product life cycle and to include a separate phase of scientific training in the traditional chain of stages of the social reproduction process. The results of the work can be used as a supplement to modern neoclassical theories and re-actualized political and economic methodologies.

Processes of collection, processing, removal, storage and utilization of solid household wastes and garbage are analyzed. Problems associated with their organization were aggravating in Ukraine during the transition to the market-based economic model radically changing the waste treatment mechanisms operated in the period of administrative and command system. It is demonstrated that Ukraine still has no well-functioning management system enabling for the civilized treatment of household wastes, including their recycling and utilization. The process of household wastes and garbage removal is disorganized and erratic. The chaotic way of collecting household wastes and garbage, used in many countries as a resource supportive to the economic development, needs to be firmly rejected. The global practices show that the problems of utilization and reuse of household wastes and garbage can be dealt with through intensive innovating and intellectualization. The effectiveness of solutions to the above problems is also conditional on two key actors: local self-governance bodies and citizens concerned with the matter. Assurance of social and environmental benefits is their necessary component. By the current organization and economic principles, enterprises active in processing, utilization and storage of household wastes and garbage are assigned the key role in treatment of household wastes. The advanced organization and economic principles for collection, storage and utilization of household wastes and garbage in Ukraine can be introduced once the nation-wide conceptual model for the development of this economic activity is elaborated. It needs to rely upon the Keynesian model that accounts for not only the interests of capital, but conforms, in many ways, to the human values concerned with environmental protection. The mechanism for collection, removal, storage, utilization and processing of solid household wastes and garbage needs to be organized as a full-fledged component of the social reproduction process. The key problem which solution will help adopt the new organization and economic principles for utilization and disposal of wastes is to create the conditions for constructing waste recycling fact ories, including the system of preferences. As shown by practices of many developed countries, they ensure effective processing and recycling of household wastes and garbage and reduce the land areas required for wastes and garbage placement.

As relações estabelecidas entre clima e saúde são inúmeras e vêm desde a Antiguidade. A Climatologia e a Epidemiologia possuem estreitos laços históricos que têm se tornado cada vez mais próximos, ao longo de suas etapas evolutivas, em função dos atuais problemas ambientais que produzem efeitos impactantes para a saúde humana. Este trabalho tem por objetivo principal tecer algumas considerações sobre as interfaces dessas duas áreas de conhecimento, focalizando os métodos e as técnicas comuns em estudos de caráter interdisciplinar. Clima e saúde são um binômio de extremo interesse por parte de inúmeros profissionais envolvendo discussões de natureza inter e multidisciplinares. O espaço no contexto desta temática representa uma importante categoria de análise, sendo concebido como uma contingência histórica do processo de reprodução social, geradora da necessidade de organização econômica e social de um determinado ordenamento espacial. Na Geografia, o espaço é físico, é econômico, é político, não há, pois, como pensar o homem abstraindo essa categoria. No âmbito dos estudos epidemiológicos, o espaço tem sido considerado sob diferentes abordagens, mais do que a mera identificação de fatores causais, envolvendo, cada vez mais, o estabelecimento do contexto ambiental e social em que se processam os fenômenos de saúde. Em suma, as questões aqui apresentadas estão diretamente associadas ao descompasso existente no mundo cada vez mais globalizado e ao mesmo tempo comprometido com a relação sociedade-natureza. Abstract INTERFACE BETWEEN CLIMATOLOGY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY: A GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH The relations established between climate and health are numerous and have come a long way since antiquity. Climatology and epidemiology have close historical ties which have become increasingly close to each other along their evolutionary lines due to currently environmental problems that produce impact on the human health. This paper mainly aims to bring some considerations upon the interfaces of these two areas of knowledge, focusing on methods and techniques common in studies of interdisciplinary character. The climate and health binomial is of great particular interest of numerous professionals involving discussions of inter and multidisciplinary nature. The space in the context of this theme represents an important category of analysis, being designed as a historical contingency of the social reproduction process, generating the need for economic and social organization of a particular spatial planning. In Geography, space is physical, is economical, political, and there is, therefore, no way of thinking man abstracting of this category. Within the framework of epidemiological studies, the space has been considered under different approaches, beyond the mere identification of causal factors, involving increasingly, the establishment of the environmental and social context in which the health phenomena are processed. In short, the issues presented here are directly associated with the existing gap in the increasingly globalised world and at the same time committed to the society-nature relationship.

The report considers how the state economic policy contributes to the national economic development in the midterm perspective. It analyzes main current economic problems of the Russian economy, i.e. low effectiveness of the social system, high dependence on export industries and natural resources, high monopolization and underdeveloped free market, as well as barriers that hinder non-recourse-based business development including high tax burden, skilled labor deficit and lack of investment capital. We propose a social-oriented market economy as the Russian economic model to achieve a sustainable economic growth in the long-term perspective. This model is based on people’s prosperity and therefore expanding domestic demand that stimulates the growth of domestic non-resource-based sector which in turn can accelerate annual GDP growth rates to 10-12%. To realize this model "Delovaya Rossiya" proposes a program that consists of a number of directions and key groups of measures covering priority national projects, tax, fiscal, monetary, innovative-industrial, trade and social policies.

This book investigates two questions, how did finance become hegemonic in the capitalist system; and what are the social consequences of the rise of finance? We do not dwell on other topics, such as the evolution of the mode of production or the development of class conflict over the longer run. Our theme is not the genesis, history, dynamics, or contradictions of capitalism but, instead, we address the rise of financialization beginning in the last quarter of the twentieth century and continuing into the twenty-first century. Therefore, we investigate the transnationalization of the circuits and processes of capital accumulation that originated the expansion and financialization of the mechanisms of production, social reproduction, and hegemony, including the ideology, the functioning of the states, and the political decision making. We do not discuss the prevailing neoliberalism as an ideology, although we pay attention to the creation and diffusion of ideas, since we sketch an overview of the process of global restructuring of production and finance leading to the prevalence of the shadow economy....
