Анализ и совершенствование акцизного налогообложения пива в России

Злоупотребление крепкой алкогольной продукции в современной России продолжает приводить к формированию ряда негативных последствий. Кардинальное смещение потребительских предпочтений в сторону потребления слабоалкогольной продукции, вина и пива является крайне актуальной задачей. Наиболее перспективным напитком, имеющим шансы заместить потребление крепкого алкоголя, является пиво. Процесс пивоварения в России нуждается в дополнительных фискальных катализаторах. Целью данного исследования является анализ акцизного налогообложения пива в России и разработка предложений по его совершенствованию. Гипотеза исследования состоит в том, что совершенствование акцизного налогообложения алкогольной продукции в России посредством установления специфической ставки акциза на пиво в зависимости от содержания в нем этилового спирта позволит изменить ценовую структуру производства сортов пива, имеющих разную крепость. Это будет способствовать смещению потребительских предпочтений в пользу слабоалкогольных разновидностей пива. Методика исследования включала в себя изучение удельного веса поступлений акцизного налога в структуре доходов консолидированного бюджета России, а также структуры и динамики поступлений акцизов в бюджет Российской Федерации по видам алкогольной продукции. Особое внимание уделено слабоалкогольной продукции и пиву. Проведен сравнительный анализ видов ставок, применяемых при налогообложении алкогольной продукции в России и в странах Европейского Союза. Проведено оригинальное маркетинговое исследование мест реализации пивной продукции с целью получения структуры продаж пива в разрезе его крепости.Excessive consumption of strong spirits in today’s Russia continues to generate a number of negative effects. This makes it highly relevant to change consumers’ preferences so that they choose low-alcohol drinks, wine and beer. Beer is the most promising drink in terms of its capacity to replace strong alcohol in the structure of consumption. Russia’s beer industry needs additional fiscal incentives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the taxation of beer in Russia and propose improvements to beer taxes. The authors proceed from a hypothesis that by improving the system of excise duties on alcoholic drinks in Russia by means of beer excise tax rates that vary based on alcohol content would make it possible to change the price structure of beer of various strengths. That would encourage consumers to shift their preferences in favor of lower-alcohol products. The research method includes the analysis of excise duty revenues in Russia as a percentage of total government revenue as well as the structure and dynamics of excise duty revenues in Russia by type of alcohol. Special attention has been paid to beverages with low alcohol content and beer. A comparative analysis has been conducted of beer tax rates in Russia and the EU. An unconventional market study has been done of beer sales points to get a picture of the beer sales structure by alcohol content

PREVALENCE OF STOMATOLOGIC DISEASES AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL CONDITIONALITY AT HEALTH WORKERS

Dental morbidity remains high, and has no tendency to stabilize. In our country it is being actively targeted study of the incidence of dental professionals hazardous industries, the aim of which is to determine the impact of production factors on the dentition system. Prevalence of stomatologic diseases at health workers of clinic of Rostov state medical university is studied and extent of etiological influence of production factors in development of the taped pathology is estimated. It is established that the stomatologic case rate is registered at employees of clinic with harmful working conditions more often, it is characterized by a variety of nosological forms and activity of pathological processes. Changes of firm tissues of teeth differ in intensity of carious disturbances and larger spread of not carious pathology, and diseases of tissues of a parodont are characterized by more serious current

Analysis of Capacity for Implementation of TIF Projects for Electric Transport Development in Russian Cities

Cities in Russia are faced with a burning problem of procuring funds for public transit and transport infrastructure projects. The article aims to evaluate the possibility of using Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in various cities of Russia by calculating property tax revenue increments from a TIF project and designating the increments as a protected source of funds for recouping investments in the project. The authors proceed from a hypothesis that it is possible to justify the priority of the city’s fiscal capacity for TIF adoption over its land area and the size of its population. The study analyzes a major TIF project that was implemented in the field of public transportation. The outcomes of the project were extrapolated to transport projects in other cities in Russia. Calculations show that the majority of the cities included in the study fit the criteria for TIF projects. The study proves that calculating the projected costs of TIF-funded projects for the development of electric public transport enables the grouping of the cities by potential for TIF project implementation. At the same time, other characteristics of cities, such as the size of population, are not the determinants of such potential. The valuation of TIF potential could serve as a basis for a rapid feasibility study of a TIF project in a city, removing the need for laborious calculations

Barth syndrome

Barth syndrome is an X-linked recessive disease characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, growth retardation, neutro-penia, and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. The Barth syndrome was first described as a mitochondrial disease leading to neutropenia and skeletal and cardiac myopathy. A deeper insight into the pathogenesis of the disease is associated with the development of its main genetic mechanisms. Mutations in the TAZ gene (Xq28) give rise to a loss of its function and to abnormalities in the cardiolipin structure and are responsible for the phenotype of Barth syndrome. Patients are susceptible to life-threatening bacterial infection and sepsis due to neutropenia; evolving heart failure is caused by cardiomyopathy, non-compact myocardium syndrome. Patient management tactics have recently undergone changes, resulting in longer survival

The epidemiology of afebrile seizures in the pediatric population of the Trans-Baikal Territory

Objective: to study the epidemiology of afebrile seizures (ASs) in the pediatric  population of the Trans-Baikal Territory in 2004 to 2013.Patients and methods. The data available in the registry of patients with epilepsy and convulsive syndromes in childhood (febrile seizures and isolated convulsion) from the Trans-Baikal Territorial Antiepileptic Center (TAEC) over 2004–2015 were retrospectivelyanalyzed.Results and discussion. Since the time of setting up the TAEC, the incidence of ASs in the Trans-Baikal Territory ranged from 0.23% (64 cases in 2005) to 0.49 (128 cases in 2008). The prevalence rate for ASs increased from 1.37 (431 cases in 2004) to 4.71 (1232 casesin 2013) per 1,000 pediatric population. The prevalence and incidence of ASs did not substantially differ among the children living in Chita and in the areas of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The rate of AS cases in the structure of the registry of children with epilepsy andconvulsive syndromes decreased from 94.31% in 2004 to 83.19% in 2013. ASs were prevalent in children aged 3 years and 1 month to 7 years. The AS rate ratio between the boys and girls varied from 1:1.1 to 1.1:1

Association of Family History of Cardiovascular Diseases in Boys Aged 12-13 Years with Structural and Functional Indicators of the Left Ventricle and Arterial Stiffness in the Age of 43-46 Years (Results of 32-Year Prospective Follow-up)

Aim. To evaluate the association of Family History (FH) of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in boys aged 12-13 years with the development of structural and functional changes in the left ventricle and stiffness of the main arteries in adulthood (43-46 years old) according to prospective study.Material and methods. For the initial examination, boys were selected whose parents suffered from CVD at a young age or died prematurely from them (risk group). The comparison group was formed from a population sample of boys of a similar age without FH of CVD. The examination included a survey on a standard questionnaire, measurement of anthropometric indicators, blood pressure (BP), pulse counting, determination of the blood lipid spectrum. The intima-media complex thickness (IMT) of the common carotid arteries was measured; echocardiography and applanation tonometry were performed.Results. The group with FH of CVD significantly (p<0.05) differed in childhood in terms of the body mass index (BMI) (18.8 vs 17.6 kg/m2), systolic BP (SBP) (117 vs 107 mm Hg), diastolic BP (DBP) (67 vs 56 mm Hg), average BP (81.8 vs 72.7 mm Hg) and triglycerides (0.79 vs 0.58 mmol/L). In adulthood, increased total cholesterol (TC) level (6.3 vs 5.8 mmol/L; p=0.036) and other indicators of atherogenesis were revealed in the risk group. The risk of fatal outcomes from CVD in the next 10 years in men with a family history of CVD in childhood was significantly higher compared to the control group (1.94 vs. 1.28; p <0.001). The main contribution to the total risk of fatal CVD in middle-aged men was made by TC and smoking. In the group with FH of CVD, higher stiffness of the arteries in adulthood was observed. There were found significant (p=0.002) intergroup differences in the IMT (0.73 vs 0.63 mm). A statistically significant positive relationship between BMI and some structural and functional indicators of the left ventricle and stiffness indicators of the main arteries was revealed. DBP and mean BP in childhood are associated with arterial stiffness in adulthood according to the parameters of central SBP and central DBP. BMI in boys is the most significant predictor for most structural and functional indicators of LV myocardial hypertrophy, in particular, LV myocardial mass (private R2=0.140) and interventricular septum thickness (R2=0.164; p=0.001), and arterial stiffness by central DBP parameter (R2=0.043; p=0.024) in adulthood. The risk of increased IMT development in males in adulthood with FH of CVD is 6.1 times higher than that of their peers without FH.Conclusion. FH of CVD revealed in childhood in males is a risk factor for the development of early atherosclerosis and, due to its ease of detection, can be used as one of the criteria for the formation of high-risk groups for the purpose of primary prevention
