Source Of Information

On the basis of the analysis of official documents, statistical materials, data from sociological studies, the article assesses the processes of ethnocultural and ethnopolitical development in republics with Finno-Ugric populations. The main source of information for the work has been series of surveys conducted in 2017–2019. The purpose of the article is the analysis of language policy in these republics. It is shown that republican models of ethnopolitics are not based on the principles of law and on the common interests of republican communities. Such a practice inevitably generates conflicts, including these in the linguistic sphere. Meanwhile, need of a policy of civic integration and of more effective educational practices has been formed in the republican communities.

The article analyses the processes of ethnocultural and ethnopolitical development in Udmurtia and is based on the analysis of statistical materials, data from sociological studies, and other sources of information. The main souses of information for the work are the series of surveys conducted in 2017–2019 in the national republics of the Russian Federation carries out as a part of the program developed by the IEA RAS (or by analogy with it). The object of the study is the Udmurt Republic, as long as recent events and previous observations turned the region into a model “training ground” for studying ethnocultural and ethnopolitical processes in republics with a Finno-Ugric population. Previously, we have summarized some of the prior observations in numerous publications, including the multivolume series “The Phenomenon of Udmurtia”. The results of the recent studies are closely correlated with the data of previous sociological surveys. Thus we are able to define and to access the main trends of ethnocultural and ethnopolitical processes that take place in the Republic as well as in the other subjects of the Russian Federation, where Finno-Ugric peoples live. The analysis of the ethno-political situation in the republic shows that the demand for integration policy in the republican community is more than obvious. But the policy of civic integration needs to be activated, because so far it does not have a significant impact on public sentiment.

Working Age Population

Introduction: In the context of a decreasing size of the working-age population, monitoring of the health status and disease incidence in this cohort shall be one of the most important tasks of public and occupational health professionals. Health risk management for the working population in the Russian Federation requires complete and reliable data on its morbidity, especially in view of the fact that its average age demonstrates a stable growth. It is, therefore, crucial to have precise and consistent information about the morbidity of the working-age population. Objective: The study aimed to assess incidence rates of diseases with temporary incapacity for work in the constituent entities of the Ural Federal District of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods: We reviewed data on disease incidence rates published by the Federal State Statistics Service in the Common Interdepartmental System of Statistical Information, Section 15.12, Causes of Temporary Disability, and Section 2.9.I.4, Federal Project for Public Health Promotion. The constituent entities under study were ranked according to the number of cases and days of temporary incapacity per 100 workers and E.L. Notkin scale was used to determine grade the incidence. The statistical analysis was performed using STATISTICA 10 software. Long-term average values of certain indicators, median values, standard deviation (σ) and coefficients of variation were estimated. The difference in the indices was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Compared to 2010, incidence rates of diseases with temporary incapacity for work in the constituent entities of the Ural Federal District in 2019 demonstrated a significant decline. The sharp drop was observed in 2015. We also established that the Common Interdepartmental System of Statistical Information contains contradictory information on disease incidence. Conclusion: It is expedient to consider the issue of revising guidelines for organization of federal statistical monitoring of morbidity with temporary incapacity for work and to include this indicator in the system of public health monitoring.
