Morbidity of the population living in area of Amur-Yakutsk Mainline

The article presents the results of analysis of morbidity of the population living in the area of the Amur-Yakutsk Mainline in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2003-2013. The structure of morbidity of the population living in the studied territories has similar picture with the one of the population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in whole. The diseases were included in four clusters; the most relevant (share in the amount of disease and level morbidity per 100 thousand population) are respiratory diseases (cluster I), injuries and poisoning (cluster II). Levels of disease different from those of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): in most cases (10 classes of diseases) morbidity is lower and only for infectious diseases and neoplasms levels of morbidity were higher than the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Studied area is characterized by higher mortality of the population than in the republic (10,4 ± 0,2 %o и 9,7 ± 0,1 %). The indicator of the disability is at the level of the one in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (5,7 ± 0,5 %)

Structural transformations of the economy in the Pacific Region of Russia and efficiency trends

Pacific Russia is viewed as an aqua-territorial macro-region that encompasses the Far Eastern Federal District and the adjacent water area within the 200-mile maritime economic zone. The macro-region has a wealth of natural resources at land and on sea, opportunities for the use of sea transport to link Russia and Europe with the countries of Asia-Pacific Region. Pacific Russia is divided into 2 latitudinal zones — the northern zone and southern zone, which include the territories of northern and southern constituents of the Russian Far Eastern Federal District. The combinations of activities by constituent entities and latitudinal zones are considered as the territorial structures of the economy. This article reveals the differences in socio-economic capacity and development level of these latitudinal zones. The authors have assessed the structural transformations in the economy of latitudinal zones in 2004–2013 by taking into account the changes of similar activities in the constituent entities and their ratios measured as a share of value added. This allowed to identify the transformations of territorial economic structures in the latitudinal zones. Over this period, the greatest changes of economic structures occurred in the northern zone. In the southern zone, the structural transformations of the economy were smaller, except for the Sakhalin region. In all latitudinal zones, there was a decrease in the share of manufacturing industries and the increase in the share of extractive industries. The article compares the generalized assessment of changes in the social and economic efficiency (by the growth of population income, labor productivity, and profits) with the structural changes in the economy of the constituent entities of Pacific Russia. The authors note that an important premise for building a sufficiently sustainable system of interregional division of labor in Pacific Russia is the location of extractive industries and initial stages of the manufacturing industry activities in the northern zone, while the major manufacturing industries and interregional transport and logistics services are located in the southern zone. This article is intended for experts and students interested in the development problems of Russia’s eastern regions.The article has been prepared with the support of the Russian Science Foundation Grant “Factors, mechanisms and types of structural transformation and modernization of territorial socio-economic systems in Pacific Russia” (№ 14–18–03185)

Spatial Differentiation of the Economic Structure of the Russian Regions of the Arctic Zone

The Regions located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation implement an important function in the development of an export potential of the country. The richest nature-resource potential of the land and the sea should be considered as the favorable factors of manufacture development in the Arctic zone. The negative factors constraining the development of the Arctic zone are as follows: severe nature-climatic conditions; considerable remoteness of the region from the subjects of the Russian Federation being socially and economically more developed; weak economic (including infrastructural) mastering of this territory; a low demographic potential of the population. The goal of the studies is to reveal the existing spatial differentiation of the economic activities in the northern latitude areas of the country. The authors have compiled several diagrams and maps to estimate the differences in the branch structure of gross value added of the subjects of the Arctic zone of Russia. Besides that, a variance of the areas’ shares in comparison with the average value of the Russian Federation as a whole has been estimated. The analysis of the features of spatial differentiation of the economic activities of the Arctic regions allows us to determine the certain tendencies of the development of economic structures for the future. The article is intended for those experts and students who are interested in the problems of the development of the northern regions of the Russian Federation.The research was supported by the Program for Fundamental Studies Support of the Presidium of the RAS (No. 44 P) “Exploratory Fundamental Research in Aimed at the Development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation”

Education Transformation in the Arctic Region of the Republic Of Sakha (Yakutia) Under the Impact of New Information Technologies in Modern Conditions

Currently, education is considered as a multidimensional and comprehensive process of personality formation. Among other things, it contributes to the development of basic abilities such as critical thinking, problem solving ability, networking, adaptability, and initiative. Learning is continuous and widely accessible, both with regard to adaption and personalization. Nowadays, teachers are required to search for innovative technologies and techniques providing qualitative acquirement of the material and the development of key subject competencies. The objective of the study is to introduce information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. The authors use the methods of testing, questionnaire, study of documents, and reflection. The survey involves 312 full-time and part-time students of M. K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU), among which 178 people represent the Arctic Region. The survey’s results are introduced in Tables 1 and 2. The results of the study are positive, with quantitative and qualitative indicators confirming the purpose of the stud

Health status of Native people living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Background. Native people of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) live mostly in northern regions in the so-called “national settlements”. Natives usually experience more health-related problems as compared to the total population. As a result, life expectancy at the birth of Natives living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is lower compared to ethnic groups living in European countries, in the United States, and in Canada. Objective of the study. To determine the prevalence of diseases among Natives living in Yakutia and to compare the standards of living for Dolgans living in the Anabarsky region and Evenks living in Gigansky and Ust-Maysky regions. Study design/methods. The study was designed as a population-based, cross-sectional examination with the addition of a cross-sectional survey for Dolgans and Evenks. Data were obtained from 324 Evenks, 43 Evens, 230 Dolgans, and 216 people of other ethnic groups, aged 17–86. In the additional cross-sectional survey, 155 Dolgans and 292 Evenks were included. Results. Among Natives, the most prevalent diseases are digestive diseases (67.9 cases per 100 examined), diseases of the genitourinary system (45.3 per 100 examined), circulatory system diseases (44.4 per 100 examined), diseases of the respiratory system (36.9 cases per 100 examined) and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (28.4 cases per 100 examined). There are differences in the prevalence among Natives living in different regions. Anabarsky region has the lowest disease burden and Dolgans inhabiting this region have higher standards of living than Evenks living in Gigansky and Ust-Maysky regions. Conclusions. The prevalence of diseases among the Natives, living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), is very high. Differences in raw prevalence rate between Native ethnic groups were found, but it is unknown whether these differences can be assigned rather to the difference in standards of living in the inhabited locality than to ethnicity itself
