Occupational diseases among agricultural workers in the Russian Federation: review of statistical data

ArticleThe aim of the study is to analyze the epidemiological situation of occupational diseases among agricultural workers in Russia. To address this task, the analysis of occupational diseases incidence was carried out. Conclusions.For the last decades the proportion of rural working population in Russia is gradually decreasing, but remains noticeably higher than in other industrialized countries. There is a huge difference between entities of the Russian Federation in occupational illnesses incidence rates among agriculture workers, which can be explained by: (a) the distinction of health care availability; (b) lack of occupational physicians in rural areas; (c) the high level of the incidence of non-communicable diseases, which can disguise occupational illnesses among agricultural workers. The improvement of the health care regulatory legal framework, development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, quality improvement in postgraduate education of medical doctors in rural areas, increasing in the number of occupational health physicians in rural areas, and implementation of long-term health promotion programs are necessary in order to maintain the heath of agricultural workers in the Russian Federation. This list of priority measures is not sufficient, as it highlights only the main issues in the field of occupational health

Informed voluntary consent of the population as alternative healthiness education

In this article the author presents an original research on the development of a system to create an informed voluntary consent of the population to implement the measures on prevention, localization or elimination of the epidemic process. The basic principles of the earlier existing system of health education have been described. The need of a new system aimed at the formation of population’s readiness to participate in the prevention programs has been scientifically proved. A definition of the population’s informed consent in the context of the epidemiologist’ management activities has been proposed. The place and role of the formation of the informed consent in the management of the epidemic process has been shown. The comparative characteristics of different approaches to inform the population are presented: advocacy, social mobilization, hygiene education and training of the population. In the terms of system approach and social marketing, the general characteristic of the system to create an informed voluntary consent of the population has been presented, its goals and objectives have been formulated, and the organizational and functional structure has been developed. The main target groups – the objects for informing – have been examined. A particular attention is paid to studying the use of modern information and communication channels (mass media, Internet and others) to create the informed consent. The necessity of the differentiated approach to the choice of methods of informing the population about the prevention of infectious diseases has been demonstrated

Modelling of conditions of development of network structures

The present stage of development of the economy is characterized by fast changes in the external environment, an increase in processes of globalization, growing competition, uncertainty and chance in the field of administrative decision making. Under such conditions, traditional forms of organization are replaced with network forms as the most effective and adaptive ones. The development of inter-firm relations, an increase in the number and variety of forms of network organizations cause the necessity of searching and assessing factors influencing this process. One of the most attractive forms of network interaction is the cluster. Regional and interregional clusters are considered as priority interindustry complexes which define the development of the economy at the national and regional level. Their formation is connected with the processes of integration of production and other organizations within one uniform territory for creating an effective industrial structure of the economy. Manufacturing enterprises and other organizations, combined in a cluster, hold a steady position amid market volatility thanks to a flexible cluster structure, synergetic effect, saving on transaction expenses, to an effective exchange of knowledge and information. In the article, the mechanisms of formation of cluster structures are considered; conditions of their effective functioning are analyzed. Special attention is paid to external factors of the successful development and formation of frame conditions of the development of clusters. On the basis of international statistics on the development of cluster structures in different countries of the world and using tools of statistical research, dependence between the development of cluster structures and a number of external conditions promoting it is shown. In this work, the importance of such factors as the development of an institutional environment, infrastructure, financial market, education, technological readiness for economy clustering is noted. On the basis of the obtained results recommendations about the development of clusters are made.Современный этап развития экономики характеризуется быстрыми изменениями во внешней среде, нарастанием процессов глобализации, повышением уровня конкуренции, неопределенности и случайности в области принятия управленческих решений. В таких условиях традиционные формы организации замещаются сетевыми формами, как наиболее эффективными и адаптивными. Развитие межфирменных отношений, увеличение числа и разнообразия форм сетевых организаций вызывают необходимость поиска и оценки факторов, влияющих на этот процесс. Одной из наиболее привлекательных форм сетевого взаимодействия на сегодняшний момент является кластер. Региональные и межрегиональные кластеры рассматриваются как приоритетные межотраслевые комплексы, которые определяют развитие экономики на национальном и региональном уровне. Их формирование связывают с процессами интеграции производственных и иных организаций в рамках единой территории для получения эффективной промышленной структуры экономики. Объединенные в кластер производственные предприятия и другие организации занимают устойчивое положение в условиях волатильной рыночной конъюнктуры за счет гибкой кластерной структуры, синергетического эффекта, экономии на трансакционных издержках, эффективному обмену знаниями и информацией. В статье рассматриваются механизмы формирования кластерных структур, анализируются условия их эффективного функционирования. Особое внимание уделяется внешним факторам успешного развития, формированию рамочных условий развития кластеров. На основе данных международной статистики по развитию кластерных структур в разных странах мира и используя инструментарий статистических исследований, показана зависимость между развитием кластерных структур и способствующих этому ряда внешних условий. В работе отмечается важность таких факторов, как развитие институциональной среды, инфраструктуры, финансового рынка, образования, технологическая готовность для кластеризации экономики. На основе полученных результатов даются рекомендации по развитию кластеров.Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке Российского гуманитарного научного фонда, грант № 15-02-000158
