В статье рассматривается один из видов территорий с особым экономическим статусом – территории опережающего социально-экономического развития (ТОСЭР) как механизм регионального управления в период реновации российской экономики. В качестве теоретико-методологической основы исследования выступает теория цикличности развития мирового хозяйства, в рамках которой раскрываются закономерности развития старопромышленных регионов. Переживая стагнацию и деградацию традиционных отраслей промышленности, такие регионы находятся в поиске новых импульсов развития, некоторые объявляются территориями опережающего развития. Научный подход, реализуемый в работе, основан на концепции поляризованного развития, которая предполагает выявление полюсов (точек роста) с высоким потенциалом и приложение адекватных усилий для их развития. В статье акцентируется внимание на роли территорий опережающего развития в качестве научной базы региональной политики и современного инструмента развития региональной социоэкономики. Динамический анализ условий формирования таких территорий выявил современные тенденции их продвижения с востока на запад. На примере ТОСЭР, созданных в «моногородах» Пермского края, раскрываются проблемы их становления. В качестве индикаторов эффективности прилагаемых усилий по формированию Чусовского и Нытвенского ТОСЭР использованы демографические показатели, анализ которых выявил, что социально-экономическая ситуация остается неблагополучной, естественная убыль населения сопровождается миграционным оттоком. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о необходимости усиления региональной политики в целях сохранения и преумножения человеческого капитала. Механизм трансформации проблемных регионов в ТОСЭР может стать инструментом стратегического планирования и территориального управления, позволяющим сместить акцент на эффективную социальную ориентацию хозяйства. The article examines one of the types of territories with a special economic status - the territory of advanced socio-economic development (TASED) as a mechanism of regional management in the course of the Russian economy renovation. The theory of the cyclical development of the world economy serves as the theoretical and methodological basis of this study to reveal the development patterns of old-industrial regions. Experiencing stagnation and degradation in traditional industries, such regions are looking for new impulses for their development. Some of them are declared as priority development areas. The scientific approach implemented in the work is based on the concept of polarized development, which involves identifying “growth poles” (points) with high potential and applying of adequate efforts for their development. The main attention focuses on the role of the advanced development areas as a scientific basis for making regional policy and as a modern tool for the development of regional socioeconomics. A dynamic analysis of the TASED creation in Russia has revealed current trends in their formation mainly from east to west. The authors consider the problems in the TASED formation by examples of two mono-industrial urban settlements in the Perm region – Chusovoy and Nytva. The demographic data used as indicators to reflect effectiveness of the TASED formation show that the socio-economic situation remains unfavorable, and the natural population decline accompanied by a noticeable migration outflow. The obtained results indicate the need to strengthen regional policy in order to preserve and increase human capital. The mechanism of transformation of problem regions into TASEDs can become the instrument of strategic planning and territorial management to shift the emphasis on effective social orientation of the economy. At the first stage of forming the “growth poles” in mono-industrial towns of the Perm Region, it is necessary to solve the employment problem, to prioritize not economic, but social tasks. It also needs a creation of the conditions for any type of economic activity in order to prevent the social tension growth and labor forces outflow. It is advisable to form a “knowledge economy”, to create a system “science - business – power”. The local socioeconomic development requires long-term, painstaking and purposeful efforts, coordinating actions of regional and municipal authorities. TASED has prospects for becoming an effective mechanism in territorial management, a “growth pole” in the old industrial region.

Objective: The last two decades have witnessed an increase in health care costs due to obesity and related issues among children and adolescents. Childhood obesity is a global phenomenon affecting all socio-economic groups, irrespective of age, sex or ethnicity. The study was done to find the the prevalence of obesity and overweight and their association with socioeconomic status (SES) and the risk factors. Materials and Methods: School based cross sectional study carried out over a period of 4 months in three schools of East Delhi. The study was carried out in 629 school children of 10–18 years of age and belonging to different socioeconomic statuses in schools in East Delhi. The obesity and overweight were considered using an updated body mass index reference. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to determine the Socio-economic status and life style factors. Results: The prevalence of overweight among children was higher in middle socioeconomic status groups as compared to high socioeconomic class in both boys and girls whereas the prevalence of obesity was higher in high Socio economic status group as compared to middle socioeconomic group. The prevalence of obesity as well as overweight in low SES group was the lowest as compared to other group. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the prevalence of overweight and obesity varies remarkably with different socioeconomic development levels.

The objective was to evaluate correlations between suicide, homicide and socio-demographic variables by an ecological study. Mortality and socio-demographic data were collected from official records of the Ministry of Health and IBGE (2010), aggregated by state (27). The data were analyzed using correlation techniques, factor analysis, principal component analysis with a varimax rotation and multiple linear regression. Suicide age-adjusted rates for the total population, men and women were 5.0, 8.0, and 2.2 per 100,000 inhabitants respectively. The suicide rates ranged from 2.7 in Pará to 9.1 in Rio Grande do Sul. Homicide for the total population, men and women were 27.2, 50.8, and 4.5 per 100,000, respectively. The homicide rates ranged from 13.0 in Santa Catarina to 68.9 in Alagoas. Suicide and homicide were negatively associated, the significance persisted among men. Unemployment was negatively correlated with suicide and positively with homicide. Different socio-demographic variables were found to correlate with suicide and homicide in the regressions. Suicide showed a pattern suggesting that, in Brazil, it is related to high socioeconomic status. Homicide seemed to follow the pattern found in other countries, associated with lower social and economic status.

ABSTRACTBackground:Studies indicate that a student's career interest at medical school entry is related to his or her ultimate career. We sought to determine the level of interest in emergency medicine among students at the time of medical school entry, and to describe characteristics associated with students primarily interested in emergency medicine.Methods:We surveyed students in 18 medical school classes from 8 Canadian universities between 2001 and 2004 at the commencement of their studies. Participants listed their top career choice and the degree to which a series of variables influenced their choices. We also collected demographic data.Results:Of 2420 surveys distributed, 2168 (89.6%) were completed. A total of 6.1% (95% confidence interval 5.1%–7.1%) of respondents cited emergency medicine as their first career choice. When compared with students primarily interested in family medicine, those primarily interested in emergency medicine reported a greater influence of hospital orientation and a lesser influence of social orientation on their career choice. When compared with students primarily interested in the surgical specialties, those primarily interested in emergency medicine were more likely to report medical lifestyle and varied scope of practice as important influences. When compared with students primarily interested in the medical specialties, those who reported interest in emergency medicine were more likely to report that a hospital orientation and varied scope of practice were important influences, and less likely to report that social orientation was important.Conclusion:Students primarily interested in emergency medicine at medical school entry have attributes that differentiate them from students primarily interested in family medicine, the surgical specialties or the medical specialties. These findings may help guide future initiatives regarding emergency medicine education.

Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and severity of Fibromyalgia in hospital visiting patients. Methods: A total of 750 patients aged 18 to 75 years were enrolled at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad from July 2018 – January 2019. Demographic data, the presence of comorbidities and previous medication, were recorded for each patient and the 2010/2011 modified ACR (American College of Rheumatology) preliminary diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia was applied. If fibromyalgia was diagnosed, the FIQR (Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire) was administered to assess the severity of FM. Results: The prevalence of fibromyalgia in hospital visiting patients was found to be 33.3% (n=250), with a female preponderance of 76% (n=190) in the diagnosed subset. Females were more than twice as likely to have fibromyalgia as their age matched male counterparts (OR 2.87, 95% CI 2.05 – 4.04, p<0.0001). The presence of diabetes, anxiety and rheumatoid arthritis but not other comorbidities (p<0.0001), advancing age (p=0.002) and increased BMI (p=0.004) were found to be significantly associated with FM. In patients diagnosed with FM, over 70% (n=180) had been previously diagnosed as having musculoskeletal pain with 66% (n=165) being on long term NSAID therapy. Multiple regression analysis showed FM severity was not influenced by comorbidities, marital status, education or economic status. A unique finding was a later age of menarche (R2=0.194, p=0.009) and menstrual irregularity (R2=0.229, p=0.003) being associated with more severe fibromyalgia symptoms. Continuous....

The market of This paper The goal of the study is to analyze the degree of differentiation of the Arctic regions of Russia by the key indicators of socioeconomic development, dependence of their economic development on the raw materials industries, which should be accounted to shape an efficient regional policy by the state and achieve the strategic goals for the reclamation and development of the Russian Arctic zone. The methodology of the study is based on a systematic approach to assessing the socioeconomic and sectoral differentiation of the Arctic regions of Russia. A set of general scientific and special research methods was used. The conducted analysis indicates that all the Arctic regions under study have a narrow raw materials nature of the economy, the sectoral structure is poorly differentiated. The policy of equalizing the per capita income and the cost of living in the Arctic regions with other regions of Russia largely determined the outflow of population from the northern regions. The state regional policy in relation to the Arctic regions should take into account their heterogeneity in order to achieve the results outlined in the strategic documents.

Impairment of social functioning and low economic status may lead to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with clinically significant CVD. A total of 808 male patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) were recruited. Socioeconomic and demographic data as well as occupational data and the presence of modifiable risk factors were collected. Erection quality was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5), while physical activity was evaluated using a modified Framingham questionnaire. Relationships among the presence of socioeconomic factors (marital status, education, income, occupational status, nature of work conducted, and demographic data), intensity of ED, and time from diagnosis of IHD were assessed. ED was diagnosed in 618 men (76.49% overall; severe in 23.14%, moderate to severe in 13.11%, moderate in 32.20%, mild in 31.55%). Patients with ED were older (61 ± 8.6 vs. 53 ± 9.1 years; p < .0001), were less active (6.97 ± 2.18 vs. 8.31 ± 2.34 Metabolic Equivalent [METs]; p < .0001), and had more modifiable risk factors (3.4 ± 1.1 vs. 3.2 ± 1.0; p < .0300). Higher education was associated with a lower probability of the occurrence of ED (OR = 0.7546; 95% CI [0.6221, 0.9153]). In patients with newly diagnosed IHD, SES correlated significantly with the presence of ED ( p = .009). Education in patients suffering from CVD has a significant relationship with both the occurrence and degree of ED. Economic status was significantly linked to the presence and degree of ED only in patients with IHD diagnosed less than 2 months before entering the study.

SUMMARYDemographic comparisons between wild and restored populations of at-risk plant species can reveal key management strategies for effective conservation, but few such studies exist. This paper evaluates the potential restoration success ofAlyxia stellata, a Hawaiian vine. Stage-structured matrix projection models that compared long-term and transient dynamics of wild versus restoredA. stellatapopulations, and restored populations under different levels of canopy cover, were built from demographic data collected over a four year period. Stochastic models of wild populations projected stable or slightly declining long-term growth rates depending on frequency of dry years. Projected long-term population growth rates of restored populations were significantly higher in closed than open canopy conditions, but indicated population decline under both conditions. Life table response experiments illustrated that lower survival rates, especially of small adults and juveniles, contributed to diminished population growth rates in restored populations. Transient analyses for restored populations projected short-term decline occurring even faster than predicted by asymptotic dynamics. Restored populations will not be viable over the long term under conditions commonly found in restoration projects and interventions will likely be necessary. This study illustrates how the combination of long-term population modelling and transient analyses can be effective in providing relevant information for plant demographers and restoration practitioners to promote self-sustaining native populations, including under future climates.

Students Satisfaction

With the advent of technology and the challenges of engaging the students positively in the classroom, there is a humongous responsibility on the part of the educators, to satisfy the requirements of the students. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of best practices in achieving students’ satisfaction. Some of the best practices that have been considered for achieving student satisfaction in this paper include academic (teaching learning process and knowledge acquisition and skills), social (a sense of belonging and interaction with faculty and peers), and environmental (sense of connectedness and utilization of campus resources). An innovative Student Satisfaction Measuring Instrument SSMI) was developed and used to measure the students’ satisfaction with reference to achieving academic excellence. The pilot study was administered for 20 students before the actual application of the instrument. Based on the feedback from the students and peers, the SSMI was improved to further fit in the requirements. The questionnaire included students’ demographic data, socio-economic status and close-ended questions in a five Likert type scale. The sample consisted of N = 286, where 113 (39.5%) were female and 173 (60.5%) were male undergraduate first year students of PSG Institute of Technology and Applied Research (PSG iTech). The data was analyzed using, Pearson r and ANOVA to identify the levels of student satisfaction. It was found that the subscales namely college environment, classroom infrastructure, teaching learning process, student-teacher relationship had a positive effect on achieving students’ satisfaction. The results of the study also indicate that the students’ satisfaction had a significant impact on their academic excellence. Further, this research will also sensitize curriculum developers, teacher trainers, administrators, and especially the teachers about the importance of best practices to be adopted for creating a conducive environment for student satisfaction. The work has been concluded with suggestions and future developments in achieving high academic performance with satisfied students.

Three Components

The methodology of regional management has been considered in this article. It has been noted that it consists of three components: economic, social and environmental, which are in interaction with each other. It has been concluded that the methodology of regional management should be aimed at involving different participants in the development process and planning in order to create a common perspective. It has been determined that the implementation and enforcement of regional economic policy is the most important component through which it is possible to achieve effective implementation of management decisions. It has been concluded that the methodology of regional management includes several components, namely: development of a strategic platform, component plans and a plan for monitoring and evaluation of implementation measures. Of these three components, such a component as the analysis of regional economic policy has been identified. Conduction of a qualitative economic analysis of regional economic policy is a very important element of the methodology of regional management, because thanks to it this is possible to determine the priority of the application of all regional policies. As mentioned earlier, economic analysis of regional policy is an integral part of the methodology of regional management. Based on the work of Olexander Kilievich in which two aspects of any economic analysis of regional economic policy (positive and normative) are distinguished, the sequence of economic analysis of regional policy has been provided. It has been noted that the facts need to be analyzed first, the next step is to analyze the values and the last step is to decide on the course of action by the authorities. It has been determined that there are also time limits for the implementation of the analysis of regional economic policy. Depending on the time of analysis, there are: ex-ante analysis and ex-post analysis. It has been concluded that the effectiveness of further implementation of regional economic policy of the region and the country as a whole will depend on the effective analysis of regional economic policy.
