The article shows that the implementation of Industry 4.0 will be implemented in many sectors of the global economy, including the coal industry. In Russia, “positive” experience has been accumulated in connection with the implementation of the Smart Mine and Smart Cut projects. The purpose of this article is to identify trends in the innovative development of the mining industry, as well as to systematize the basic elements of the Industry 4.0 project on basic mining processes. In the process of the study, the authors of the article prepared an enlarged systematization of technological solutions for the mining industry, which corresponds to the main directions of the global Industry-4.0 project and allows us to proceed with the formation of a technological platform that includes the need to implement the projects “Virtual Mine of the Future” and “Virtual Section of the Future”.

The external and internal challenges discussed in Part I of this article in Gornyi Zhurnal Issue 10, 2020, which are risk-critical for the coal industry of Russia, became a framework for the assessment of the impact exerted on the industry by sanctions and adverse conjuncture, as well as for the performance evaluation of the industry advancement scenarios. The maximum impact on the coal industry in Russia is exerted by risks connected with the coal market slump in the world. Furthermore, in recent years, coal demand suffers from depression due to some economical and technological development conditions in the world economy. The ecological pressure on the coal industry is also dynamized. Alongside with risks connected with the adverse conjuncture on the international and domestic markets, including risks of the limited market access, the increasingly higher importance is attached to the risks connected with sanctions imposed on the Russian economy. At the present time, the future of the coal industry in Russia is greatly uncertain. The governmental policy documents introduce a wide range of advancement routes for the coal industry with regard to potential risks. To find more accurate output margins in coal production, prediction and assessment of risk impact on the coal industry is required. The calculation of the risk impact on the coal industry using ERI/RAS model Riskugol shows that sanctions have never exerted any influence on the volumes of coal production and export in Russia. However, accretion of sanctions can appreciably reduce potentialities of the future advancement in the coal industry. The coal industry advancement scenarios are developed and used to assess the industry performance over the period to 2040. Despite higher efficiency of risk scenarios, they also feature higher social risks. Innovativity of the risk scenarios, which drastically improves labor efficiency in the industry, results in layoff and reduction of employees. To counterpoise social risks in the industry over the whole prediction period (even with regard to retirement rate), it is required to create 35–40 thousands of new jobs. This study has been partly supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research in the framework of R&D Project No. 18-010-00467 Development of Economic Indicators and Production Data for the Coal Industry Development in Russia up to 2035 with the Changing Vector of Global Technological Innovation due to Implementation of Industry 4.0 Program.

The article is devoted to new approaches in training for the coal industry. Practical and scientific significance of the research is to emphasize the special place branch profiling, and extending the competence of the future lawyer by studying a range of disciplines, not relevant to pure law, which will provide expertise to meet the needs of the coal industry and fuel and energy complex as a whole.

The article deals with the general tendencies and problems of the development of the Ukrainian coal industry in recent years. The main reasons for the problems and reduction of coal production in Ukraine due to the corresponding exhaustion of stocks as a result of long-term exploitation of coal mining enterprises are outlined. In addition, the unsatisfactory condition of the main equipment of the mines and its high level of deterioration and low rates of restoration of fixed assets are determined. The pace of investment and innovation processes in the coal industry of Ukraine today does not correspond to real needs and opportunities for increasing of coal production. The reformation and restructuring of coalmining enterprises is far behind the planned state program measures, including privatization processes, attracting private investment, improving approaches to management, closing unprofitable loss-making mines and building new prospective mines. The article highlights prospective directions of increasing coal mining, both operating mines and the possibility of building new explored reserves of energy and coking coal, in particular, in the Lviv-Volyn coal basin. The main reasons for the unprofitability of coal enterprises, untimely payment of wages to miners, problems of investment and innovation development of the coal industry are outlined. The complexity of the processes of voluntary association of communities in coal regions in the framework of the decentralization reform consists in the presence of environmental problems and the future closure of coal mining enterprises, negatively affecting the overall economic potential of the future united territorial communities. The paper proves that the strategic development of the united territorial communities in the areas of coal deposits (on the example of the Lviv region) is closely connected to the presence of coal mining enterprises there and the construction of new mines there. Strategic directions of innovative development of Ukraine's coal industry, the principles of reform and restructuring of the coal enterprises are defined.

The study of the quality of life (QoL) in medicine is recognized worldwide, its scientific study is also recognized as a priority.Aim.To study the quality of life of workers in the Kuzbass coal industry, who are exposed to physical factors, as well as to assess the severity and degree of influence of diseases on QoL.Methods.The method of QoL assessment was based on of individual QoL assessment and the rationing of intensive indicators. For the subjective assessment of the severity of symptoms of the occupational disease (OD) and the effect of these symptoms on QoL, we used the questionnaire method, recommended by Dyakovich M.P. and Kazakova P.V. (2013).Results.The study of individual QoL included 400 miners with OD, caused by exposure to physical factors. We found that among the low indices, reflecting determination of quality of life of workers in the coal industry, satisfaction with the past was the highest. Indices of satisfaction with the future were the lowest. The predominance of subjective positive over negative was possibly related to social satisfaction.The study involved a group of 98 patients, who had symptoms of diseases, caused by exposure to physical factors. Subjective assessment of patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) revealed a significant effect of symptoms of the disease on QoL, especially with regard to symptoms that worsened their psycho-emotional state, which might further lead to impairments and disabilities.Conclusion.Evaluation of individual QoL, as well as the severity of the symptoms and their effect on QoL, helps correctly diagnose the patient’s personal response to the disease, and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. In the future, doctors can use the received information when developing rehabilitation measures.
