The Subject

A very important role in the diagnosing process is played by the conversation with a patient, which should always have a diagnostic-therapeutic character. The subject of interest of this paper are the relations between medical personnel and patients. The chapter aimed to explain the application of main ethical theories in conversation with patients as a diagnostic-therapeutic instrument. As an example, a case study illustrates basic ethical principles of such a conversation. It as an instrument of diagnosis and therapy retained its value despite introducing numerous methods of diagnosis based on the findings of modern physics or electronics. In our view, the conversation should always aim at the benefit of the patient and the results of treatment as well as sustaining patient's subjectivity and hope for achieving a higher quality of life.

This opinion article intends to address the emergence of what will, potentially, be a central concept in a very nearfuture, that of Society 5.0, and that emerges politically as a (con)sequence of the implementation of the concept ofIndustry 4.0. By proposing a deepening of the potential of the individual-technology relationship in fostering theimprovement of the quality of life of all people through a super-intelligent society, Society 5.0 is an extremely recentconcept as a guide for social development and that can have a profound impact on societies at all levels, such as interms of the quality of life and sustainability. This presentation is based on very recent publications, but it also has aprospective component, which always generates some indeterminacy and uncertainty. Also for this reason, thiscontribution seeks, above all, to help in this very urgent and necessary discussion.

The work shows the importance of rational and efficient assessment of control and supervision in health care for society as a whole and for its individual members. Health care is part of the system that shapes the quality of life of the population, influences the development of human potential, economic performance, on the adoption and diffusion of innovations in Russia. Control and supervision in public administration reform received much attention. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has developed a methodology for assessing and comparing the activities of Supervisory authorities. However, there is a need for not only implementation of the standardized approach in assessing but taking into account the specific features of activity of Supervisory authorities. The article presents the system of socially significant indicators for assessing the activities of Roszdravnadzor and its territorial offices in the RF entities. Currently the authority spends a lot of tests (about 10 thousand per year), however, the effectiveness of control and supervision is low. The health of the population remains low, satisfaction with public health services is reduced. Researching foreign experience of health systems development in countries with socially oriented economy allows to draw a conclusion about the necessity of building a qualitatively new assessment system of control and supervision, which should be based on the interests of society. The author proposes to depart from the principle of "check for validation" and change over to socially significant indicators for the government activities. The article highlights such indicators for healthcare and proposes their decomposition for fractional quantitative and qualitative assessment of activities. This system of indicators is aimed at improving the efficiency of public health care management and growth of the citizens’ health and their quality of life in a whole. The work is performed in as part of research of Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation by order of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Ухудшение качественных характеристик населения (показателей здоровья, уровня культуры и образования) необходимо относить к наиболее значимым негативным факторам социального развития России и ее регионов. В статье дана оценка современного уровня развития человеческого потенциала в России и субъектах Дальнего Востока России на основе данных индекса человеческого развития (Human Development Index – HDI). Проведено сопоставление HDI России HDI с некоторых стан Европы и Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, имеющих самые высокие значения (баллы) индекса за период 1990–2018 гг. В межстрановом сравнении выявлены наиболее проблемные компоненты человеческого потенциала для России. В межрегиональном сравнении за 2000–2016 гг. проведена группировка регионов по HDI, направленная на выявление и сравнительную оценку перспективности субъектов Дальнего Востока России по формированию, развитию и возможному сохранению человеческого потенциала. С помощью корреляционного анализа выявлена зависимость между значением инвестиций в основной капитал на душу населения и индексом HDI, а также составляющими его индексами долголетия, доходов. Результаты группировки субъектов Дальнего Востока России по HDI и по качеству жизни населения за 2010–2016 гг. в определенной степени совпадают. Показано, что сдерживающими факторами социально-экономического развития регионов, а следовательно, низких значений HDI и индексов качества жизни населения являются недостаточное развитие социальной сферы, низкие уровень и качество жизни населения, ухудшающие качество человеческого потенциала и препятствующие его повышению. Необходимо проводить более эффективную политику в социальной сфере с акцентом на увеличение бюджетных и привлечение частных инвестиций в экономику регионов. The deterioration of the qualitative characteristics of the population (health indicators, insufficient level of culture and education) should be attributed to the most significant negative factors in the social development of Russia and its regions. The article assesses the current level of human development in Russia and the Far Eastern regions on the basis of human development index (HDI) data. The HDI of Russia is compared with that of some countries of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, which have the best values (points) of the human development index for the period of 1990–2018. In a cross-country comparison, the most problematic components of human potential for Russia were identified. In the interregional comparison for 2000–2016, a grouping of regions by HDI was carried out, aimed at identifying promising and less promising subjects of the Far East for the formation, development and possible preservation of human potential. Using the correlation analysis, the relationship between the value of investment in fixed assets per capita and the HDI index, as well as its indices of longevity and income, is revealed. The results of the grouping of FER subjects by HDI are confirmed by the types of regions according to the quality of life of the population for 2010–2016. It is shown that the low level of development of the social sphere, the level and quality of life of the population, which reduce the quality of human potential and prevent its increase, are the constraining factors of the socio-economic development of the regions and, therefore, low HDI and QOL values. It is necessary to pursue a more effective social policy, with a focus on increasing budgetary and attracting private investment in the regional economy.

The presence of women in all areas of contemporary life is a reality that generates many changes in their lifestyle. In the present study, we aimed to make a comparative analysis in two groups of women. The adults in the first group practice sports activities 2-4 times a week, but have sedentary professions, those in the second group have active professions, with medium to high effort, but do not participate in any sports class, with 3 exceptions. The results obtained show us better values recorded at body indices, and at indices related to health status, sleep quality in women in the second group. Our recommendation for adult women is to adopt a lifestyle with sports activities performed daily, with a medium to high effort to improve their quality of life
