State Cultural Policy during the Great Patriotic War

The article describes the content and features of the state cultural policy during the Great Patriotic War. In the pre-war period and in the first years of the war, the state budget cut on cultural expenditures, and all Soviet cultural institutions aimed their activities at achieving the main strategic goal, i.e. victory. The research was based on an institutional approach, as well as methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison. The author studied various regulatory documents and defined the main features of cultural activities in wartime conditions. Advantages of the socio-political system made it possible to mobilize all types of resources in the shortest time possible. Institutions of culture were responsible for propaganda and recruiting campaign, thus performing the function of ideological and political inspirer of Soviet citizens.

Sexual Reproductive Health: Improving Child Survival Initiatives in Botswana

Improving maternal and child survival it’s an important integral part of health care. A large number of deaths in Africa emanate from preventable diseases and largely in the first month of life. Majority of deaths were from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria and all accounting to 14.9%, 9.2% and 7.3% respectively. In an endeavour to the prevent and promote healthcare system, the government of Botswana came up with a special programme geared toward protecting the locals against common diseases. The government of Botswana, through the Ministry of Health (MoH), introduced the Accelerated Child Survival and Development (ACSD) strategic plan intervention with a specific focus on reducing the ‘under five mortality rate’ (U5MR). One of the high-impact interventions for reducing the U5MR is the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy. The strategic goal of IMCI is to reduce death, illness, and disability and to promote improved growth and development among children under 5 years of age. Child welfare clinic and Nutrition has been discovered as one of the strategy to promote child’s growth and development. This strategy can be effective if it is implemented with IMCI and Immunisation.

Biało-ruskij mir. Reaktywacja reintegracyjna w relacjach rosyjsko-białoruskich White-Russian world.

The relations between the Russian Federation and Belarus in the 21st century are characterized by dynamics and volatility. The integration processes of both countries, initiated in the 1990s, are an element of the strategy of domination in the post-Soviet area, which is consistently implemented by Russia. The authors conclude that this strategy in the case of Belarus is a kind of mixture of soft power and hard power, and the choice of instruments depends on the stability of the authoritarian regime, which is embodied by Alyaksandr Lukashenka. The rigged presidential elections triggered a wave of protests, leading to the gradual loss of social legitimacy by the Belarusian president. Russia has a dilemma: whether to continue to support Lukashenka, who is losing support, or to look for a “new personal alternative”, a politician that would guarantee the implementation of a “pro-Russian vector” in Belarus’s domestic and foreign policy. Regardless of how the situation develops, Russia’s strategic goal remains to keep Belarus in its sphere of influence using the already existing mechanisms of cooperation between the two countries.

STRATEGIC GUIDELINES OF REGIONAL MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEMS INTERACTION IN INNOVATIVE PROCESSES OF THE REGION

Purpose. The article substantiates the strategic principles of development interaction systems in innovation processes of the region, which includes defining goals on a conceptual basis to ensure the value of interaction, clarifying the composition of subjects and objects of development regional interaction systems, implementation in certain stages. Design/methodology/approach. The goals set in the study were solved using the following general scientific methods: general scientific and special principles and techniques of scientific knowledge in the field of strategic management of innovative development of territories. Semantic analysis, comparative analysis and systematization method were used to carry out the theoretical substantiation of the system of strategic goals of regional development; the method of grouping, factor analysis, the method of structural-logical modeling is used in the development of a set of operational tasks to achieve strategic goals. An abstract-logical method was used to formulate conclusions and theoretical generalization of the results of the study. Findings. The subject of strategic management interaction in the innovation processes of the region is "innovation development", which takes into account the interests and goals of the subjects in the innovation process of the region. Strategic interaction management is carried out by defining goals on a conceptual basis to ensure the value of interaction, which involves the implementation of certain stages. Adherence to the proposed sequence of stages will ensure the required level of interaction value in regional systems for all participants in the innovation process on a strategic basis. The central apex of the "goal tree" is a strategic goal, in our context - ensuring the value of interaction in innovation processes. This strategic goal is deployed in tactical goals that capture large blocks of action to achieve a strategic goal, namely; block of rational use of innovation resources of the region, block of ensuring the usefulness of interaction, block of optimization of the cost of establishing interaction, block of increasing the productivity of innovation processes in the region, block of development of innovation infrastructure of the region. Practical implications. An obligatory stage in the formation of regional cooperation systems is the coordination and harmonization of the interests of potential participants on the basis a rational compromise to achieve the goals of regional development. The specified strategic goal is developed by the authors into tactical goals, which fix large blocks of actions to achieve the strategic goal, namely the block of rational use of innovation resources of the region, the block of ensuring the usefulness of interaction in regional interaction systems, the block of optimizing regional interaction, block of development of innovation infrastructure of the region. The need for improving regional management of the development interaction systems in innovation processes is due not only to its national importance for the development of NIS, but also the economic content - the formation of the economic base and support drivers of social and economic development of regions. It was proved that regional government institutions should fully support the development of the economy on market principles, while assuming the main responsibility for comprehensive overall regulation and strategic planning of economic development and direct support of the innovation process. Originality/value. For each of these blocks of strategic goals, the article substantiates a set of socio-economic tools for implementing tasks in regional interaction systems, which differ in the components of interaction systems, scope, nature of direction, duration, complexity of use, level of consistency, purposes of use, source of funding, direction raising funds. Summarizing the substantiation of strategic goals for interaction systems development in innovation processes of the region, it is necessary to emphasize harmonization and coordination of goals of interaction system formation with goals of innovative development of the region and individual goals for potential participants of interaction systems. After all, the development of interaction systems takes place through the maximum involvement of market stakeholders in cooperation and ensuring the value of their coordinated joint work on innovative projects and programs.

Research on Carbon Emissions of Electric Vehicles by Constructing Mathematical Model Based on Big Data

After the “3060” carbon peak and neutrality strategic goal was put forward, various industries actively responded to find new ways for energy conservation and emission reduction. In the field of automobile manufacturing, the transition from traditional fuel vehicles to electric vehicles is an inevitable trend. This paper builds a mathematical model that uses the three major indicators of carbon emissions per 100 kilometers, energy-saving emission reduction coefficients, and annual carbon emissions as parameters to measure carbon emissions benefits, and combines survey data to conduct empirical analysis to explore the advantages of electric vehicles in energy saving and emission reduction compared with traditional fuel vehicles under different power supply structures. At the same time, based on the existing data and conclusions, the research is extended to the analysis of carbon emissions prospects in decades, and the possible contribution of future electric vehicles in energy utilization and environmental protection is predicted, to explore its role in promoting the achievement of the double-carbon goal, and put forward corresponding recommendations based on the research results.

Mechanisms for attracting an international contingent of students to Russian universities in relation to the university, regional and federal levels

Increasing the export potential of the higher education system is a strategic goal of many developed and developing countries, including Russia. At the same time, attracting foreign students to domestic universities makes it possible to attract foreign intellectual resources, develop international cooperation and diplomacy. During the study, a model of a system for managing the competitiveness of higher education in Russia has been developed, which contributes to attracting an international contingent of students to Russian universities. This system takes into account the influence of global environmental factors and state macro-environment factors. The subject of management in this system is represented by the federal, regional and university levels. For each subject level, methods have been developed to attract an international contingent of students to Russian universities. The object of management in the developed system is the level of competitiveness of higher education in Russia.
