The Impact

The main research topic is the theoretical justification of integrated regionalization of rural areas to optimize the use of natural agro-potential by developing conceptual frameworks and new methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of its use and determining environmentally and economically options for the interaction of natural and production-territorial systems. The problem of creating a theoretical (conceptual) model of integrated regionalization of rural areas using modern geographical methods and GIS technologies to optimize the use of natural agro-resource potential is arisen. The object of study is the natural agropotential of Smolensk region. Considering the complexity character of research we used the model area. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship of the spatial soil’s distribution and relief. For this aim, the model area on the territory of Smolensk region was chosen, digital model was created and analyzed. The research results have independent scientific interest and optimize the using of the natural agro-resource potential. The development of theoretical and methodological aspects of agricultural zoning is the most current problem of modern geography. The solution to this problem is necessary to develop recommendations for agricultural management. At the present stage of development of agriculture in Russia with extremely limited material, labor and financial resources, overcoming of the agrarian crisis will be possible on the basis of more efficient using of the natural potential of the territory. For the first time, the correlation of the spatial distribution of soil cover depending on the relief was studied using the model area of Smolensk region. The series of diagrams with the distribution of soil types by height, the distribution of the prevailing soil types on the slopes of different exposures, distribution of the prevailing soil types on the slopes of different angles have been constructed.

Актуальность статьи объясняется необходимость поиска новых ресурсов повышение эффективности использования недр, в том числе, за счет рационального использования геомеханических особенностей скальных массивов при техногенном воздействии на них и механизма взаимодействия пород, слагающих массивы скальных месторождений. Объектом исследования служат структурно напряженные скальные массивы Садонского рудного узла. Целью исследований является оценка перспектив технологий разработки месторождений при освоении запасов в условиях техногенной ослабленности массивов. Методы решения основной задачи исследования образуют собой комплекс, в том числе, систематизация связанных с управлением массивом сведений, разработка критериев эффективности добычи руд и формирование концепции ресурсосберегающей технологии разработки месторождений. Результаты и обсуждение результатов. Сформулирована концепция технологии разработки месторождений на основе методов управления состоянием массива путем назначения оптимального уровня напряжений, формируемых совокупностью сейсмотектонических воздействий и техногенной сейсмичности. Дана типизация методов расчета устойчивых пролетов выработок. Приведены примеры решения горнотехнических задач рекомендуемыми методами расчета. Предложена схема-алгоритм взаимодействия параметров управления массивом. Определено, что перспективы технологий разработки месторождений Садонской группы связаны с реализацией концепции управления массивами пород путем регулирования величины напряжений. Доказано, что учет геомеханических факторов позволяет на всех стадиях отработки месторождения корректировать параметры разработки с повышением качества добываемых руд и уменьшением опасности для работающих. В этих условиях удовлетворительные показатели могут быть обеспечены только на первой стадии разработки при выемке первичных камер. Отработка целиков во вторую стадию увеличивает напряжения до критического состояния, что сопровождается потерей запасов или снижением качества руд до убыточных пределов кондиций. Рекомендовано отработку новых запасов и доработку имеющихся запасов осуществлять по комбинированной схеме: ценные руды с закладкой технологических пустот твердеющими смесями, руды с меньшим содержанием металлов выщелачиванием с использованием хвостов подземного выщелачивания для управления напряжениями, а выщелоченные руды выполняют искусственных целиков, перераспределяя техногенные и природные напряжения. The relevance of the article is explained by the need to search for new resources to increase the efficiency of subsoil use, including due to the rational use of geomechanical features of rock massifs with anthropogenic impact on them and the mechanism of interaction of rocks composing rock massifs. The object of study is the structurally stressed rock massifs of the Sadon ore cluster. The aim of the research is to assess the prospects of field development technologies during the development of reserves in conditions of technogenic weakening of arrays. Methods for solving the main research problem form a complex, including the systematization of information related to managing the array, the development of criteria for the efficiency of ore mining and the formation of the concept of resource-saving technology for developing deposits. Results and discussion of results. The concept of field development technology is formulated on the basis of methods for controlling the state of an array by assigning the optimal level of stresses generated by a combination of seismotectonic impacts and technogenic seismicity. Typification of methods for calculating stable spans of workings is given. Examples of solving mining problems with the recommended calculation methods are given. An algorithm-algorithm for the interaction of array control parameters is proposed. It was determined that the prospects for the development of deposits in the Sadon Group are related to the implementation of the concept of managing rock masses by regulating stresses. It is proved that taking geomechanical factors into account allows at all stages of field development to adjust development parameters with an increase in the quality of mined ores and a decrease in the hazard for workers. Under these conditions, satisfactory performance can only be achieved at the first stage of development when the primary chambers are removed. The development of pillars in the second stage increases stresses to a critical state, which is accompanied by a loss of reserves or a decrease in the quality of ores to unprofitable limits. It was recommended that the development of new reserves and the refinement of existing reserves be carried out according to a combined scheme: valuable ores with the laying of technological voids with hardening mixtures, ores with a lower metal content leaching using underground leaching tails to control stresses, and leached ores perform artificial pillars, redistributing technogenic and natural stresses.

The Impact

Considering the current stage of development of general secondary education, one of the most important issues is to provide qualified pedagogical staff to the general secondary education institutions (GSEIs). This research examines the framework for forecasting the indicators of the general secondary education system using demographic information and statistical reporting data at the national and regional levels by types of territory (urban settlements, rural areas). New approaches to the analysis of the information environment for forecasting the evolution of indicators have been implemented and the set tasks have been thoroughly researched. The logical sequence of the indicators was defined so the principles and methods of forecasting can be implemented. The framework for the created models and applied methods used for calculating the forecast values of indicators was substantiated, in particular the general school body, number of pupils of ninth grade who will continue attending tenth grade, number of pedagogical staff, teachers and teachers of retirement age still working. The calculations of the forecast school body for the period of 2020/2021–2024/2025 academic years allow identifying certain trends in migration and demographic processes occurring in the regions of Ukraine. Estimated forecast values for the period of 2020/2021–2024/2025 academic years for the number of pedagogical staff, teachers and teachers of retirement age still working allows us to assess the annual additional need for qualified personnel for the GSEIs. The usage of the obtained results will become an important background for the creation of multifactor models to simultaneously take into account the impact of several factors on the development of the forecast system and assess the prospects for its development in the future.

The subject of the research is a set of socio-economic relations regarding problems and perspectives of labor resource potential of agrarian enterprises. The purpose of the work is to identify the main problems of population reproduction at the present stage of development of rural areas of Ukraine, employment in general and economically active population, in particular, assessing the scope of informal employment and justifying on this basis the prospects for improving the labor resource potential of agrarian enterprises and managing them. Methodological basis of the article became statistical and mathematical methods of research: absolute and relative values, index, statistical groupings, series of dynamics. The International Labor Organization (ILO) methodology was used to assess employment and unemployment among the main sex and age groups of the population. Results of work. An important condition for successful work of agrarian enterprises and ensuring their productive and resource potential is the security and continuity of their employees. Management of labor resources is one of the main areas of economic activity in agrarian enterprises, the purpose of which is to identify new ones and increase existing sources and reserves for increasing the efficiency of production by increasing its volume with increasing productivity and better use of wages. The urgency of the research of labor resources of agrarian enterprises and their practical solution is compounded by the need to increase employment and reduce unemployment of rural residents, stabilize the labor market in the countryside, stop the depopulation of rural population, and preserve the settlement network of rural areas. The field of application of results. Research results can be used in the activity of agrarian enterprises in order to create new competitive advantages, increase the efficiency of labor resource use and strengthen its competitive position in the market. Conclusions. As in most developed countries, there is a direct correlation between the level of education and the level of economic activity in Ukraine: the higher the level of education, the higher the level of economic activity, the lower the level of education, the greater the gap in the levels of economic activity of rural and urban populations. Formation of effective production-resource potential in agrarian enterprises of Ukraine is possible through the implementation of such a personnel policy, which involves planning of staffing needs, effective use of employees (training, staff development), the use of material incentives and socially oriented motivational mechanisms. A significant reduction in the number of employed rural populations leads to high risks of poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion, which has contributed to the creation of an extremely negative trend in the labor market. To survive under such difficult conditions, the peasants who previously earned funds from collective farms and state farms were forced to engage in growing products for sale or exchange in a personal farm, or to go to work abroad or to Ukrainian cities where the situation on the labor market was more favorable. Only a small percentage of the peasants managed to establish farms, such as those operating in developed countries.

The purpose of the article is to evaluate measures to support the activities of farms and family farms in the conditions of David-19 and make a forecast assessment of their development and formation. Research methods. It is based on the active policy concept of entrepreneurial potential realization in the countryside, which includes measures for the farms and family farms development, in particular through the transformational mechanism of household formalization into a market environment. The following scientific methods were used in the research process: dialectical scientific knowledge of processes and phenomena; monographic (analysis of scientific achievements of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, as well as stages of business development); graphic (to obtain a synthesized idea of the object of study, to identify its components, to establish causal relationships); empirical (regarding a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the object of study); comparative analysis (identification of problems and directions of formation and development of farming); comparative analysis (taking into account the specific conditions of agricultural activity and comparing the processes of farming development at the national level); prognostic (formation of conceptual bases of regulation and improvement of the strategy of development of business); abstract-logical (theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions). Research results. The situation on minimizing the impact of quarantine measures under the conditions of Covid-19 and their consequences and interaction in the development of farms and family farms in rural areas is analyzed. On the basis of generalization in the development of mechanisms to ensure the efficiency of the agricultural sector of the economy, it is necessary to take into account the features and vulnerabilities of the organizational and legal management form. It was found that the most vulnerable to the introduction of quarantine restrictions are small and medium-sized farms, mostly those engaged in vegetable production, in particular the production of early vegetables and berries. This can directly lead to a reduction in their number. Thus, by 2025, the number of farms may be reduced by 450 units - up to 32639 against 33089 in 2019. However, the introduced measures, including compensation the part of SST for family farms, are able to provide in the near future approximately 200 thousand such farms both through a change in the organizational and legal form of existing small farms and through household formalization into the market environment with the acquisition of the official status of business entities. Scientific novelty. The methodological representation and identification of the category of self-employment as structured and defined by law, institutional and economic criteria, forms of organization of rural management with the appropriate definition of priority contours of possible organizational and economic effectiveness of functioning through employment in non-agricultural enterprises. Practical significance. The basic principles for counteracting the impact of restrictive measures in the context of Covid-19 were revealed, which allowed to assess the prospects for the development of farms, including family farms, as well as to make predictive calculations of the impact of proposed measures on their formation and development.

<p>Purpose- In the GSM seluler telephony sector, the main condition for protecting the subscriber base is to win customer to be loyalty, a key necessity for the maintenance of a brand loyalty in the long term. To achieve this aim, service quality must be measured and identified. This paper’s aim is to measure the effects of service quality towards brand loyalty on DTAC seluler service provider. This study will explore the relationship between service quality and brand loyalty in the seluler service industry.</p><p>Design/methodology/approach- The main research target sample covered 200 seluler phone users in Prince of Songka University, Hatyai campus. Field research was conducted. The questionnaire was formed by a synthesis of existing constructs in relevant literature. Reliability tests, descriptive statistic, and regressions analyses were performed to both confirm scale reliability and answer the research questions. The data were analysed by moderated regression analysis to test the hypotheses.</p><p>Findings- The findings of this study show that an overall service quality directly affects brand loyalty. Network quality, customer service, pricing structure and billing system are the service quality dimensions that have significant positive influence on brand loyalty, which in turn has a significant positive impact on brand loyalty 43,5%. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in winning customer loyalty.</p><p>Originality/value- It is of great importance for seluler operators in a mature market such as that of Thailand, to understand what the drivers of brand loyalty are. The present study produced useful findings, which can be utilized by seluler service provider managers, in their effort to develop and implement successful brand loyalty strategies. With respect to the findings, pricing structure has the most importance than others dimensions of service quality which provides positive outcomes on brand loyalty, not only in the present but also in the future. So, the effect of pricing structure on brand loyalty becomes greater than the effect of others dimenstions of service quality. Therefore, any GSM operator who wishes to preserve its existing subscriber base should concentrate on winning its subscribers’ loyalty, especially for DTAC.</p>Keywords- Seluler Services, Brand Loyalty, Service Quality

Rural settlements occupy a significant part of the territory of Russia, where about 25% of the population lives and significant natural resource potential is concentrated, but the level of their socio-economic development is significantly inferior to urban ones. Increasing depressiveness of rural areas and spatial socio-economic differentiation is a systemic problem and an obstacle to the balanced development of the national economy, reduces its competitiveness due to insufficient use of economic potential, creates challenges to the economic and national security of the state. A powerful tool for countering such trends is the formation and implementation of the potential for the development of small agribusiness, which is mainly based on households created in the form of peasant (farmer) and personal subsidiary associations. The article ana-lyzes the potential of small agribusiness development in rural areas.
