Financial and economical activity of Orthodox monasteries of Tambov Eparchy in the 18th–19th centuries

The relevance of our study is due to the recent trends of comprehensive consideration of issues related to the financial, economic and economic activities of Orthodox monasteries. In the conditions of the revival of monastic life in modern Russia these aspects of monastic work are of particular interest to researchers and allow us to draw some historical parallels, as well as to comprehend many related issues in this direction. The study was tasked with presenting a genera-lized summary analysis of the economic status of Orthodox male monasteries of the eparchy dur-ing the synodal period, as well as reviewing the main articles of income and expenditure of mone-tary amounts. The facts collected and systematized in this study are intended to reveal the specifics and peculiarities of ownership of the male monasteries with their lands. Land tenure and various economic objects were a powerful economic help in the conditions of the established division of monasteries into regular and non-standard types after the 1764 reform. As a result, from the second half of the 18th century, most of the cloisters were forced to seek new non-state sources of income. In the process of the gradual accumulation of the land fund over the next century, the role of economic possessions, which, as a rule, were leased and provided a solid and stable extrabudgetary income, both in regular and non-standard monasteries, increased.

The role of temporal perspective in economical activity – psychological perspective

The article aims to explore the ralationship between different financial behaviours and temporal perspective. Psychological time is defined and measured in different ways. In the studies presented in the current paper a concept by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd (2009) was used. It distinguishes five temporal perspectives: (a) past-positive, (b) past-negative, (c) present-hedonistic, (d) present-fatalistic, (e) future. In order to measure this construct, a 15-item short version of Time Perspective Inventory (Short Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, SZTPI, Zhang, Howell, Bowerman, 2013) was used. Two experiments using representative (of Polish society) samples were carried out (numbers of participants were 360 and 1090). Different financial behaviours were measured: saving, investing, insurance, and loan raising. Also, their relationship with temporal perspective was looked at (SZTPI). The results revealed a relationship between temporal perspective and financial actions: a higher level of hedonistic-present perspective encouraged cash loans, and a higher level of future perspective was associated with mortgages. Future perspective was beneficial in terms of saving and insurance. High level of fatalistic-present perspective encouraged financial passivity

LEGAL REGULATION OF THE MEDICAL TOURISM AS A TYPE OF ECONOMICAL ACTIVITY

The article is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of medical tourism as a type of economic activity. The definition of medical tourism, its structural components and peculiarities of legal regulation are given.Medical tourism is a type of tourist activity, characterized by the formation and sale of a tourist product. This product includes a package of general tourist services, as well as a package of medical services. There are such structural components of medical tourism: 1) curative tourism, providing medical and diagnostic services that can be provided only by entities that have the status of medical institutions; 2) rehabilitation and wellness tourism, which provides diagnostic, sanatorium-resort, preventive and other types of medical services that can be provided by medical institutions and other entities.The expediency of creating a single legal regime in the field of medical tourism is argued. This legal regime is necessary for effective protection of patients' rights to life and health.

Game theory model for the development of optimal strategy towards innovative products manufacturing at the enterprise

The carried out research confirms the expediency of economic mathematical modeling (game theory) implementation in practice of economical activity. The paper presents a designed game theory model of optimal innovative strategy for product manufacturing at the enterprise considering the expenses due to the production, storage and transportation of basic goods; extra expenses for the development of innovative products and supplementary costs granted by the company for the innovative products development in order to decrease possible material losses by the defined reasons. The developed game theory model aims to develop the optimal strategy for innovative products manufacturing was implemented and approved at the enterprise, which produces different means of operative communication. The assigned solution of a task included the calculation of the company’s optimal innovative product release with the aim of receiving a maximum income from the developed products realization. The model enables to define the percentage ratio of the efficient manufacturing of innovative products at the enterprise, considering the state of the market and competitive behavior in overall product assortment, the possibility of this ratio optimal correction in order to maximize the income from innovative products realization. Performed calculations allow the company’s managers to determine the beneficial and non-beneficial market state for certain types of innovative products and to improve the decision making process concerning the increase or the reduction of innovative products manufacturing.
