Abstract. The purpose of this article is to develop and test a methodology for assessing the impact of wages on the reproduction of personnel in rural areas. Urban districts of the Sverdlovsk region were selected as the object for the pilot project. As a research method, the authors used multiple regression analysis of spatial data using the least squares method. As the data sources for the sample, data from the database of the municipalities of Rosstat were used. As a result of the behavioral research, key factors were identified that affect various indicators of the reproduction of the labor resources of the territory, the statistical significance of the influencing factors is evaluated, and the explanatory ability of the obtained models of their possibilities of their use for forecasting is evaluated. It was found that indicators of wages have a significant impact on most indicators of the reproduction of labor resources, indicators of the state of public health in the territory also have a significant impact. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are given for further refinement of the methodology, as well as recommendations for improving the system of statistical reporting of municipalities. The scientific novelty of the study is the use of regression analysis as a method for assessing the reproductive processes of rural territories using data from urban districts of the Sverdlovsk region. The practical significance of the results obtained is a quantitative assessment of the dependence of the reproduction parameters on the factors under study, which makes it possible to quantify the economic effect of the predicted measures. Also, the practical significance of the article lies in identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed methodology that emerged during the pilot study, and the corresponding directions for its improvement.

The Impact

As the trend of aging in rural China has intensified, research on the factors affecting the health of the elderly in rural areas has become a hot issue. However, the conclusions of existing studies are inconsistent and even contradictory, making it difficult to form constructive policies with practical value. To explore the reasons for the inconsistent conclusions drawn by relevant research, in this paper we constructed a meta-regression database based on 65 pieces of relevant literature published in the past 25 years. For more valid samples to reduce publication bias, we also set the statistical significance of social support to the health of the elderly in rural areas as a dependent variable. Finally, combined with multi-dimensional social support and its implications for the health of the elderly, meta-regression analysis was carried out on the results of 171 empirical studies. The results show that (1) subjective support rather than objective support can have a significant impact on the health of the elderly in rural areas, and there is no significant difference between other dimensions of social support and objective support; (2) the health status of the elderly in rural areas in samples involving western regions is more sensitive to social support than that in samples not involving the western regions; (3) among the elderly in rural areas, social support for the older male elderly is more likely to improve their health than that for the younger female elderly; and (4) besides this, both data sources and econometric models greatly affect the heterogeneity of the effect of social support on the health of the elderly in rural areas, but neither the published year nor the journal is significant. Finally, relevant policies and follow-up studies on the impact of social support on the health of the elderly in rural areas are discussed.

This study is one of the first attempts to identify and explain the location of food festivals in the context of locally embedded capitals. A multidimensional spatial model was developed and a typology using the k-means method was carried out to evaluate the mapping of 64 food festivals organized in various locations in Poland. With reference to Bourdieu’s concept, the economic, social, cultural, symbolic, and tourism capitals rooted in the local environment were examined and compared with the location of festivals. From the theoretical point of view, this study extends the theory of capital to include the new category of tourism capital, which allows better understanding of the economic effects of festivals. It is the missing element of the circular mechanism of capital conversion. Our study shows that food festivals in Poland are held mainly in large cities and their neighboring municipalities rather than in peripheral rural areas. We indicate that the urban areas have a higher level of capitals and sustainability of capitals for food festivals than rural areas. The conducted research shows that the economic effect of food festivals is stronger in locations with high tourism capital. The proposed model is universal and can be used to analyze the impact of various festivals on capital conversion and local development.

AbstractContext and ObjectivesMicroscopy is needed for a study involving the surveillance data of a species like P. vivax, the most widespread in Asia and almost non-existent species in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The use of microscopy and rapid diagnostics tests (RDTs) approaches are recommended for malaria test. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of the two, microscopy is more suitable for effective identification of presence of malaria parasites for the surveillance data of P. vivax and other species. Rapid diagnostics tests fit better for P. falciparum. This study aimed to revise between the Microscopy and RDTs, which is better for used in city than in rural settings for the surveillance of Plasmodium vivax malarial recurrence in malaria-endemic areas and why?MethodsIt is a descriptive study of 19,746 laboratory data. The variables wanted were a positive thick drop and a thin smear with the plasmodial species. The analyzes were carried out based on prevalences and the software R was used to generate the figures. The standard threshold of statistical significance was set at 0.05. The ethics committee of the Department of Tropical Medicine approved this study. We were using microscopes as our diagnostic tools for malaria surveillance data in the Parasitology Unit. RDTs are the quickest way to detect and diagnose malaria. It is something that could be easily operated. It can be home-based for everyone depending his understand the principles of how it works. It is also effective and time management. Therefore, this can be used in rural areas because it will be fast to attend to many people. But it has its own limitations because of the differentiation of species. And it not detects P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae.ResultsFrom 100% malaria-positive samples, 98.83% were positive for P. falciparum, 0.88% were positive for P. malariae, 0.063% were positive for P. ovale, 0.01% was positive for P. vivax. There were co-infections P. falciparum-P. malariae representing 0.2%. November 2001 had the high number of positive samples.ConclusionsP. vivax at 0.01% highlights that it is an unknown species in the DRC. P. malariae at 1% advances our understanding of microscopy utility in the diagnosis of renal failure. P. falciparum at 98.83% highlights that it remains the most prevalent species. Efforts for malaria control should be focus on the rain months. Microscopes are effective. Depending on the accurate functionality of the tool and the expertise skill of the technician or scientist. Disadvantages are the facts that it is time consuming. And demands high intellectual understanding of the use of microscopy. Not everyone could operate a microscope. Before you view under the microscope you must prepare the slide and stain to be able to view. All these are long processes. Therefore, microscopy may have lower opportunity to be used in a rural area because of the complexity, the population and time. Microscopy has advantages to be important to use in rural areas because of its accuracy and the ability to detect Plasmodiums species than the RDTs.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that collaborations, both foreign and domestic, play on product innovation, sales mix, and sales revenue for Chinese firms. Both statistical correlations and marginal (economic) effects of collaborations feature in the analysis. Design/methodology/approach – This study includes 2,700 Chinese firms across 15 industry sectors and 25 cities from a World Bank survey conducted in 2012; the data are stratified by firm size. Given the different types of dependent variables to be estimated, several methodologies are employed: logistic regression, Poisson regression, and ordinary least squares. The marginal effects of key variables are then calculated to demonstrate their economic impact. Findings – Regarding the likelihood of product innovation, collaboration with domestic (Chinese) companies is significant for Chinese micro, medium, and large enterprises. Being a foreign subsidiary is significant for the proportion of new products in the sales mix for small, medium, and large firms. Domestic collaboration can boost the sales of innovating small firms and innovating medium companies by nearly 113 and 140 percent, respectively. Originality/value – This study builds on the current literature by examining the impact of foreign vs domestic collaboration on Chinese firms, whereas most research examines foreign players only. It offers a more nuanced analysis by stratifying estimates according to firm size, and it goes beyond statistical significance to quantify the real economic effect of collaborations on Chinese companies.

Purpose To develop a reliable and practical questionnaire for glaucoma awareness and evaluate the impact of potential determinants. Methods Patients with primary open-angle, pigmentary, and exfoliation glaucoma, as well as healthy controls, were recruited. The instrument included questions about demographic characteristics, as well as 8 questions assessing the participant's familiarity with glaucoma. Rasch analysis was used for the validation of the questionnaire. The effect of demographics as potential determinants of awareness was examined with a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Bonferroni-corrected statistical significance was tested with the Mann-Whitney U test or one-way analysis of variance. Association between demographics and questionnaire scores was examined with Spearman correlation. Results As indicated by power analysis, responses from 175 patients (mean age 65.5 years) and 314 controls (mean age 43.3 years) were analyzed. Rasch analysis indicated no multidimensionality and good item-person targeting. Mean ± SD awareness scores for the glaucoma and control groups were 4.43±2.10 and 4.20±2.11, respectively (p=0.207). Sex and residence were not predictors of disease awareness, whereas educational level was only a determinant in the control group (p<0.001). Income was a predictor only for patients (r=0.357, p<0.001), whereas family history was predictive for both groups (p<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that only family history was associated with increased awareness (χ2=4.61, p=0.03, odds ratio 1.98). Conclusions This study introduces a practical and valid instrument for the assessment of glaucoma awareness.

The article explores the impact of economic modernization on the social and economic situation of rural residents. It justifies the need to develop mechanisms to regulate the activities of business entities taking into account the fundamental interests of the rural population, such as improving and leveling the social and economic conditions of life in order to freely develop the personality of each resident of rural areas. It is alleged that rural areas have their own specifics, which is associated with traditions, culture and relatively low population density. The specificity is manifested in the fact that the rural economy can be simultaneously represented by agriculture and forestry, industrial production, tourism and recreation, and other industries. These areas of activity can become complementary to the main specialization of entrepreneurship in a particular rural area. Two features of the development of rural territories in the near future are distinguished: due to the effective use of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress and the improvement of technological processes in modern agricultural units, the need for labor resources is reduced; a decrease in the demand for labor resources from agriculture leads to a deterioration in the social and economic situation, and, as a consequence, to an outflow of the population from rural areas. The need for the development of a special social-targeted block in any comprehensive modernization programs is argued. This block should contain requirements that ensure a well-defined character and sequence of social changes in work.

Introduction. The peculiarities of consumer behavior in the tourism industry are considered in the article. The factors influencing it are identified, their role in shaping the decision of purchase is determined. Empirical studies have been conducted on the motivation to buy a tourist product. Economic-mathematical modelling of interdependence of efficiency of marketing activity and financial results of tourist enterprises by the method of correlation-regression analysis has been carried out. The proposals have been developed to improve the management of consumer behavior in tourism in accordance with the concept of marketing to expand the complex 4P to 10P, by adding new elements in accordance with the existing position of the organization. The purpose of the article is to consider the characteristics of consumer behavior of tourism enterprises, the factors influencing it and the implementation of management actions to increase consumer satisfaction and to stimulate demand. The research method (methodology) includes the expert method, in particular, the questionnaire, and the method of economic-mathematical modelling, namely, correlation-regression analysis. In addition to these methods, the method of theoretical generalization and abstract-logical were used in the article. Results. As a result of the research, the elements of scientific novelty are obtained, which contains the following: the model of consumer behavior is improved, which, unlike the existing ones, represents not only the relationship between the consumer's decision to buy and the factors that determine it; modelling the interdependence of efficiency of marketing activity and financial results of the tourist enterprises by the method of the correlation-regression analysis that allowed to establish close interdependence between the above-stated indicators is carried out; the proposal to supplement the marketing complex to improve the impact on consumer behavior with the following elements: price; shopping; scoring; partners; gifts has been developed; socially useful activity; privileges; personification; participation; speed. Thus, the practical significance of the research is to develop recommendations to ensure decision-making processes for managing consumer demand by managing the behavior of consumers of tourist services.

Methodological Approaches

The purpose of the article is substantiation of the theoretical and methodological provisions of inclusive rural development and the development of guidelines for assessing social, economic and political changes in rural areas for compliance with the principles of inclusive development. Research methods. As a methodological base for the development of the problem under study, the provisions of the concept of inclusive growth and development, as well as rural development, were used. The research used methods: analysis and synthesis (in the study of the nature and main provisions of inclusive rural development), comparative analysis (in the analysis of methods for developing integrated indices and determining their advantages and disadvantages), statistical methods (for calculating the integral index of inclusive rural development). Research results. The research improves the theoretical and methodological principles of inclusive rural development and develops methodological approaches to its measurement. The proposed methodological approach is based on the measurement of inclusive rural development in two areas: the sectoral dimension, which includes the political, social and economic components of inclusion; a component dimension that assesses inclusion at the level of access, quality and distribution of goods and services. The existing methodological approaches to the development of integrated indices that can be used for measuring inclusive rural development are analyzed. Given the advantages and disadvantages of available methods, as well as the possibility of their application for the purposes of this study, the feasibility of using the method of weighted amounts for integrated assessment of inclusive rural development is justified. The normative approach was used as a method of standardization of indicators. It is established that the lag in the level of inclusive development in rural areas is -0.073 or -11.7% of national indicators. The variation of deviations in the components of sectoral inclusion is higher than in the component inclusion. In the sectoral dimension, the largest deviation of indices compared to national indicators is observed for social inclusion (-0.122 or -16.3%), and the smallest - for political (-0.04 or -6.8%). Variation of deviations from national indicators by types of inequality in access, quality and distribution of goods and services - by component inclusion, has a smaller range: -9.2… -13.2%. Scientific novelty. Theoretical provisions of inclusive rural development are developed and a methodological approach for its assessment is proposed based on the use of a two-dimensional matrix of indicators, which includes three sectoral dimensions (political, social and economic) and three component dimensions of inclusiveness (accessibility, quality and distribution of public goods and services). Practical significance. The developed methodological approach can be used to monitor the program documents implementation in the sustainable development sphere, the implementation of rural development policies and inclusive development. The flexibility of the methodological approach as for using different sets of indicators allows it to be implemented at the UTC level, which is planned to justify and test in the following publications.

Abstract Research has shown that carcass yield in swine is reduced when ingredients with high neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content. Carcass yield reduction from feeding high-fiber ingredients results from an increase in the weight of intestinal contents. NDF has been shown to result in the digestive contents to swell in the large intestine by absorbing water thus increasing the fecal volume in the large intestine. Considering the financial implications of changing carcass yield, the objective of this project was to develop a regression equation to estimate carcass yield from dietary NDF and strategies where high-NDF ingredients are taken out of the diet in the last dietary phases before slaughter (withdrawal period; WP). Data from 8 experiments (43 observations) originated from 6 journal articles and 1 technical memo were used to develop the regression equation. The WP of high NDF ingredients was either none or ranged from 5 to 63 d in the experiments. Treatment diets of each trial were reformulated to obtain dietary nutrient content using the NRC ingredient library (NRC, Nutrient requirements of swine. 11th ed, 2012). Composition of experimental diets was used to calculate dietary net energy, crude protein, crude fiber, NDF, and acid detergent fiber in the last two dietary phases. These dietary compositions along with the number of days of WP were used to develop regression equations. The model was determined using a step-wise selection procedure starting with guided forward selection through individual predictor variables, with a statistical significance at P &lt; 0.05 used to determine inclusion of terms in the final model. The regression analysis showed that WP, NDF level in the dietary phase prior to the final phase (NDF1), NDF level in the last dietary phase before marketing (NDF2), and the interaction between NDF2 and WP were the most important variables in the dataset to predict carcass yield. The resulting regression equation was as follows: carcass yield, % = 0.03492 ± 0.02633 × WP (d) – 0.05092 ± 0.02862 × NDF1 (%) – 0.06897 ± 0.02931 × NDF2 (%) – 0.00289 ± 0.00216 × (NDF2 [%] × WP [d]) + 76.0769 ± 1.33730. In conclusion, high levels of NDF up to slaughter had a negative impact on carcass yield. Increasing the length of the WP improved carcass yield; however, the effect of WP was dependent on the level of NDF2. The equation herein provides a tool to estimate of the impact of dietary NDF on carcass yield.
