Summary The topic of corporate sustainability has gained importance in recent years; unfortunately, confusion persists as to what it represents for businesses and academics. This review of the literature aims to analyse concepts and models related to corporate sustainability and to emphasize the most representative recent findings regarding the benefits, challenges, and opportunities of corporate sustainability. First, a series of benefits are identified, including improved quality, image and reputation for organizations. Second, challenges are recognized, such as the high cost of investment and the lack of consideration of cultural factors, collaboration and innovation. Opportunities are then presented, for example, the implementation of sustainability through life cycle management, the “Eden Project” and analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), among others. Finally, the need to achieve the benefits, take advantage of the opportunities and face the challenges of corporate sustainability in order to balance environmental, social and economic development is highlighted.

Migration flows in the Russian Federation are intensive in recent years. People go to the places where they can have better conditions for work and solutions of social problems. The purpose of this article is studying such opportunities in the strategy of regional social and economic development of 2030. The methodology of the research consists in the solution of a number of questions. The concept “life cycle of family” is debatable. The paper gives its treatment and presents the cognitive map of requirements of different stages of the life cycle. The authors give the analysis of the strategy of regional social and economic development. The empirical base of the research is the strategy of social and economic development of Volgograd region, Rostov region, Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Kalmykia, the Republic of Adygea. The article characterizes the specifics of satisfying needs for services of health care, education, culture, sport, the possibility to receive housing, the requirement to human resources in the specified regions. It allowed to define characteristics of individuals interested in accommodation on a certain area and to offer directions of their rebranding. The article provides assessing competitiveness of the strategy of regional social and economic development for 2018–2030 in terms of the family life cycle. The following indicators are used for this purpose: climate attractiveness, unemployment rate, population share with incomes below the subsistence rate, infantile mortality on 1 thousand births, mortality on 100 thousand people of the working population, average monthly salary, share of the employed in small and average business from the total number of the population. The authors conclude that the developed strategies of socio-economic development of territories taking into account the competition between regions do not fully contribute to overcoming the negative trends of their development. In addition to working out the strategy of a particular subject of the Russian Federation, the analysis of the provisions planned by neighboring regions is necessary.

INTRODUCTION: Schistosomiasis has been described as “one of the most devastating diseases of mankind, second only to malaria in its deleterious effects on the social and economic development of populations in many warm areas of the world.” The disease is worldwide and is probably spreading faster and becoming more intense than the overall research efforts designed to provide the basis for countering it. Moreover, there are indications that the development of water resources and the demands for increasing cultivation and food in developing countries may prevent adequate control of the disease and thus the number of infections are increasing.Our knowledge of the basic biology of the parasites causing the disease is far from adequate. Such knowledge is essential if we are to develop a rational approach to the effective control of human schistosomiasis. The miracidium is the first infective stage in the complex life cycle of schistosomes. The future of the entire life cycle depends on the capacity and ability of this organism to locate and enter a suitable snail host for further development, Little is known about the nervous system of the miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni and of other trematodes. Studies indicate that miracidia contain a well developed and complex nervous system that may aid the larvae in locating and entering a susceptible snail host (Wilson, 1970; Brooker, 1972; Chernin, 1974; Pan, 1980; Mehlhorn, 1988; and Jones, 1987-1988).

Basic Course

Transformations in the sphere of federal relations concern the most important directions of the reforming processes in the country. However, not all proposed and actually developing components of the federal reform seem well-argued and corresponding to long-term, strategic interests of the Russian statehood. The basic course of reform should meet the objective requirements of further decentralization of governing economic and social processes and the need to ensure strengthening the responsibility of RF subjects’ executive bodies and local self-management for steady social and economic development of their territories. The solution of these problems calls for a new model of federal policy of regional development, specification of some important components of the municipal reform as well as inserting certain amendments into the system of intergovernmental fiscal relations in order to stir up their stimulating function.
