Abstract. The study aims at diagnosing the managerial competencies of the medical managers as well as practical tools for their development in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions. The authors suggest a methodical approach to form a profile of the managerial competencies of the heads of medical facilities, which is based on the use of the method of expert evaluations and provides for the three stages: preparatory (within which the scientific and methodological basis for analysis is formed), evaluatory (which involves diagnosis of the managerial competencies of the medical managers in the context of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic), and recommendatory (which provides practical tools for the development of the medical institution head’s competencies in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions). To form the basis of the study a questionnaire was created, which lists managerial competencies in terms of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic. The survey was conducted among the heads of medical institutions, their departments and the chief nurses of the healthcare institutions in Precarpathia. The article substantiates that nowadays it is not enough for a medical institution manager to have only a high level of knowledge on medicines, but also be aware of the elements of financial management, strategic planning and marketing, risk and conflict management, high-rate readiness for change and teamwork. The study of managerial competencies of the supervising physicians allowed to create profiles of the managerial competencies of the actual and future medical managers, to offer practical tools for their managerial competencies development, taking account of the need to work in crisis and under unpredictable conditions. Keywords: medical care, heads of medical institutions, managerial competencies, instability. JEL Classification M12, M14, I10 Formulas: 0; fig.: 1; tabl.: 5; bibl.: 15.

The continuous modernization of the education system makes the problems of the quality of teacher training increasingly relevant. Moreover, the measures taken to improve the system of teacher education are largely confined to the introduction of new organizational and managerial mechanisms and practically do not affect the internal content and technological structure of the teacher training process.Modern pedagogical universities are constantly looking for innovative models of training teachers that will be able to solve non-standard social and professional tasks. However, recent studies in this area do not fully take into account the nature of pedagogical activity and conditions of its formation. Thus, the need arises for a special study of the processes and means of updating the content and technologies of teacher training in order to control the level of students’ professional competencies development, as required by educational and professional standards. This means the creation of a special educational system in a pedagogical university, which can provide a harmonious and synchronous mastering by future specialists of both subject knowledge and methods of pedagogical activity.The article provides a theoretical study aimed at identifying key patterns of designing a new content for teacher education, the basis of which is the formation of a future teacher as a subject of his own professional activity. The author describes the experience of using a subject-oriented model of education, implemented at Bashkir State Pedagogical University n.a. M. Akmulla. The effectiveness of this model is confirmed by the high level of students’ mastery of designing methods and constructing the educational process, as well as their positive experience in the implementation of educational activities.

The author analyzes definitions of the concepts of determinants of crime given by various scientists and offers her definition. In this study, determinants of crime are understood as a set of its causes, the circumstances that contribute committing them, as well as the dynamics of crime. It is noted that the Russian legislator in Article 244 of the Criminal Code defines the object of this criminal assault as public morality. Despite the use of evaluative concepts both in the disposition of this norm and in determining the specific object of a given crime, the position of criminologists is unequivocal: crimes of this kind are immoral and are in irreconcilable conflict with generally accepted moral and legal norms. In the paper, some views are considered with regard to making value judgments which could hardly apply to legal norms. According to the author, the reasons for abuse of the bodies of the dead include economic problems of the subject of a crime, a low level of culture and legal awareness; this list is not exhaustive. The main circumstances that contribute committing abuse of the bodies of the dead and their burial places are the following: low income and unemployment, low level of criminological prevention, poor maintenance and protection of medical institutions and cemeteries due to underperformance of state and municipal bodies. The list of circumstances is also open-ended. Due to some factors, including a high level of latency, it is not possible to reflect the dynamics of such crimes objectively. At the same time, identification of the determinants of abuse of the bodies of the dead will reduce the number of such crimes.

The ciliary body ablation is still considered as a last resort treatment to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) in uncontrolled glaucoma. Several ablation techniques have been proposed over the years, all presenting a high rate of complications, nonselectivity for the target organ, and unpredictable dose-effect relationship. These drawbacks limited the application of cyclodestructive procedures almost exclusively to refractory glaucoma. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), proposed in the early 1980s and later abandoned because of the complexity and side effects of the procedure, was recently reconsidered in a new approach to destroy the ciliary body. Ultrasound circular cyclocoagulation (UC3), by using miniaturized transducers embedded in a dedicated circular-shaped device, permits to selectively treat the ciliary body in a one-step, computer-assisted, and non-operator-dependent procedure. UC3 shows a high level of safety along with a predictable and sustained IOP reduction in patients with refractory glaucoma. Because of this, the indication of UC3 was recently extended also to naïve-to-surgery patients, thus reconsidering the role and timing of ciliary body ablation in the surgical management of glaucoma. This article provides a review of the most used cycloablative techniques with particular attention to UC3, summarizing the current knowledge about this procedure and future possible developments.

Abstract   No gold-standard investigation exists for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII)-pH testing has uncertain utility in LPR. Meanwhile, reflux scintigraphy allows immediate and delayed visualisation of tracer reflux in the esophagus, pharynx, and lungs. The present study aimed to correlate MII-pH and scintigraphic reflux results in patients with primary LPR. Methods Consecutive patients with LPR underwent MII-pH and scintigraphic reflux studies. Abnormal values for MII-pH results were defined from existing literature. MII-pH and scintigraphic data were correlated. Results 105 patients with LPR (31 males (29.5%), median age 60 years (range: 20–87)) were studied. Scintigraphic reflux was seen in the pharynx in 94 (90.4%), and in the proximal esophagus in 94 (90.4%). Delayed scintigraphic contamination of the pharynx was seen in 101 patients (96.2%) and in the lungs of 56 patients (53.3%). Abnormal reflux was seen in the distal esophagus in 12.4%, proximal esophagus in 25.7%, and in the pharynx in 82.9%. Patients with poor scintigraphic clearance had higher Demeester scores (p = 0.043), more proximal reflux episodes (p = 0.046), more distal acid reflux episodes (p = 0.023), and longer bolus clearance times (p = 0.002). Conclusion Reflux scintigraphy has a high yield in LPR patients. Scintigraphic time-activity curves correlated with validated MII-pH results. A high rate of pulmonary microaspiration was found in LPR patients. This study demonstrated a high level of pharyngeal contamination by scintigraphy and MII-pH, which supports the use of digital reflux scintigraphy in diagnosing LPR.

This article describes the results of comparative analysis of the dynamics of incidence of pulmonary tuberculo-sis (TBP), extrapulmonary extrarespiratory tuberculo-sis (TBER) and respiratory extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TBREP) in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) from 1970 to 2019. Throughout the 50 years of observation, epidemiological situation for TBP, especially for TBER, hasmuch improved, with incidence of the latter going down 30 times. Five stages (decades) were identified, within which the factors demonstrate practically the same impact, the growth rate of indicators was calculated for each stage (the value of indicators at the beginning of each stage taken as 100%).The first stage was a simultaneous reduction in the inci-dence rate in all categories of TB localization against the background of socio-economic factors positive effect and organization of effective and comprehensive an-ti-TB measures. In the second stage (1980ies, a period of growing socio-economic problems), the positive dynam-ics of TB incidence stopped and switched to stabilization at a low level. Indicators became more volatile, while TB dynamics by localization more and more desynchro-nized. Тhe third stage (1990iеs, a period of social and economic crisis) was char-acterised by a sharp increase of TB incidence, especially TBREP, with a switch to stabi-lization at a high level. The fourth stage (2000 through 2009, the beginning of TB control system restoration) demonstrated the indicators’ dynamics desynchroniza-tion: the incidence of TBP and TBREP has stabilized, and TBER continued to decline. The fifth stage (2009 through 2019, complete restoration of TB control system) showed a steady trend of incidence rate reduction and return of uniformity in incidence rate of various localizations.There is no increase in the proportion of extrapulmonary TB expected for the incidence decline. TBER incidence had been declining in most stages, with the exception of the 90ies, which could be explained by substandard work in identifying patients, and the rarity of TBER etiological verification. It is necessary to raise the clinical awareness of narrow specialists and general practitioners in the di-agnostic problems associated with TBER.The coincidence of the rate of TB incidence decrease in main localizations in the 1970ies and 2010s proves that a comprehensive state strategy to combat tuberculosis can provide a high rate of TB incidence decrease in various social layers with positive social and economic conditions of life of the population.

This research is aimed to find out how the performance of regional financial management of Palembang City in increasing APBD of Palembang City, and how to proportion of revenue and expenditure target of APBD Kota Palembang. The theory used in this study is the concept of performance analysis of regional finances according to Mahmudi (2010), which examines the performance of management of regional keunagan based on the financial performance indicators of regional income and financial performance of Regional Expenditure during the period of 2010 to 2015. In accordance with the focus, Qualitative design, to describe the state of subject / object of research based on facts that appear or as it is (fact finding). Data collection was done by observation, interview, and documentation technique. The result of research shows that the growth of APBD from the side of regional income shows that there is a trend of revenue increase from PAD post, but in general the balancing fund positions still dominate the regional income, so that the high rate of regional dependency is balanced fund. While from the side of regional expenditure, it is envisaged that every year the Local Government of Palembang City always allocates a larger budget to the indirect spending group. This indicates that the Local Government of Palembang City still allocates more budget for things that are not directly related to the implementation of the program such as personnel expenditure in the form of salaries and allowances regulated in law, interest expenditure, grant expenditure, social assistance expenditure, Results to provinces / districts / municipalities and village governments, unexpected financial aid and shopping expenditures.Keywords: Performance, Management, Regional Finance.

Abstract In this mini-review we present insight to the non-nuclear transposable elements and in silico analysis of miniature inverted transposable elements (MITEs) in the grapevine mitochondrial genome. Here we report the identification of 17 truncated sequences in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) mitochondrial genome which expectedly belongs to the four ancient transposon families (hAT, Tc1Mariner, Mutator and PIF/Harbinger). Some sequences with a high rate of homology in chloroplast and nuclear genomes were also identified. Thus, it suggests the intercellular gene transfer between these three organelles. These partial sequences showed a high level of similitude with full MITE sequences, and they were found in their inner region, supporting their MITE origin. Further analysis revealed these sequences in other life kingdoms (including eubacteria and archaea), which indicates their ancient origin. Further research showed that 13 out of the 17 sequences are conserved domains of the genes where they are located, suggesting their contribution to gene evolution. Therefore, we suppose that more studies of nature, origin and functional meaning of these sequences and their fusion with genes are necessary. In the light of our observations it will be useful for further studies of V. vinifera genome organizing and systematics, as well as for other species.

In the implementation of a financial administration and issues concerning finance that is a very important and very decisive field in the discussion or study of education administration. Regarding funding in administration, this is the part that is very influential at the level of the education unit. It is the process of implementing a learning program related to the learning and teaching process in schools with other fields.In the field of finance and financing, it really needs to be managed properly and thoroughly, so that the funds that have been obtained can be used to carry out education programs optimally in order to support and also be able to achieve the desired educational goals. Funds that have been obtained must be used as well as possible to meet the needs of schools, because as we know so far in education programs or schools, the problem is not far from financial problems, or lack of funds, especially related to the crisis situation money like this now. officers in this field must have a high level of accuracy and uphold honesty in order to manage financial matters in a company. Reporting for all activities related to financial management in schools, must and must be reported periodically using predetermined procedures. Financial administration is an activity related to finance, in order to achieve a company's objectives, this form of administration is like recording or accounting of expenses and financial income of a company or group.

Aim. To assess the importance, role, methods and conditions for creating and sustaining positive motivation of medical personnel in deploying a modern management system based on lean production to optimise the production flow in medical institutions, improve quality, availability and efficiency of public medical care.Materials and methods. The authors employed historical, bibliometric and statistical methods to analyse domestic and foreign scientific archives on lean production, motivation and motivational risks as key factors in implementing lean technologies in medical institutions.Results. Implementation of lean production (LP) as a manufacturing management system is among key conditions for creating a new model of the medical institution. Principles of LP are applied at three interfaces: with patients, personnel and resources. Positive motivation of employees is prerequisite for accomplishing a project, which requires supervisors to know and leverage the basics of motivational management. Creation of a motivating environment for various categories of employees in developing a LP system requires taking into account the type and management culture level of a medical institution.Conclusion. In order to create and sustain motivation for realising creative potential of the team, it is necessary to account for the motivation risks, develop and implement a motivation system differentially by employee categories and project stages. Effective motivational measures are necessarily based on a system of material and non-material incentives with clear and achievable criteria, amounts and forms valued by employees and rooted in medical and economic feedback of implementing the LP principles.
