Modernization of the Russian Agro-Industrial Complex in the Conditions of Increase of Food Security

Subject/Topic. The issues of increase of food security of the state have become very important due to increase of the planet’s population and the requirements of increase of living standards. The necessity for increasing the intensity of production of food products in the conditions of stable production capacities of agriculture grows. In this situation, agrarians look for new innovational solutions to the problem of increase of the production volumes without large growth of final products’ price. Another problem is growth of the cost of food products, which also requires the search for new technological solutions for increasing the efficiency in agriculture. Certain states strive to reduce their export of food – due to growth of prices – satisfying their own need for food and food reserves. However, such measures only increase the problem in the global scale – so there’s a necessity for the global modernization of the sphere. Thus, application of innovational technologies in agriculture could become a new vector for modernization of the traditional agricultural methods of production and activation of hidden potentials of the sphere. Goal/Tasks. The purpose of this research is theoretical substantiation of the current processes, search for practical methods of stimulation and increase of efficiency of the Russian agriculture, and development of the directions of further modernization of the sphere. According to the set goal, the authors formulate and solve the following tasks: Analysis the situation with the dynamics of the world population, analysis of the consumer sector and its profitability level, evaluation of dynamics of population’s real incomes, conclusion on the number of the poor, and substantiation of the necessity for search for new solutions for the problems of food security. Methodology. The research is conducted with application of the methods of graphic presentation of information, statistical analysis of data, financial analysis, trend analysis, and the methods of comparison, analogy, and systematization. Results. To increase the level of the Russian food security, it is necessary to provide economic access to high-quality food for the Russian population, which is impossible without government support for agricultural manufacturers and new solutions in this sphere. Conclusions/Significance. The value of the work consists in emphasis on external and internal threats to national food security, which increase despite the growth of external import. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020

Some assessment results of the medical care for newborns

In order to assess the state of medical care for newbornsin organizations of obstetric care in 2013-2017, the officialstatistical reports of the Ministry of Healthcare of Russia andpublications of the Federal State Statistics Service were analyzed.It was found that during the study period, the provisionof neonatologists increased by 2.8%, and the provisionof beds for pathology of newborns and premature infants fellby 2.9%. The incidence of newborns born with a body weightof 1000 g and more decreased by 5.0%, and the incidenceof newborns born with extremely low body weight increasedby 14.1%. Mortality of mature and premature newborns in obstetricorganizations as a whole decreased by 43.7%. From2013 to 2017 in Russia there was a decrease in the share oflevel 1 organizations (by 5.6%) and the growth of level 2 and3 organizations (by 4.2% and 25.0%, respectively). Due to theregionalization of obstetric and perinatal care, the proportionof live births in level 1 maternity hospitals (departments) decreasedby 33.6% and 6.1% in level 2 obstetric hospitals, butincreased by 26.7% in level 3 obstetric care organizations.The same trend was observed in the distribution of newborns’deaths by levels of hospitals: in obstetric hospitals of level 1and 2 there was a decrease of 47.4% and 40.9%, respectively,in perinatal centers - an increase of 44.0%. Thus, theincrease in the level of medical care for newborns led to adecrease in the mortality of mature and premature newbornsin obstetric hospitals, but led to a simultaneous increase inmorbidity due to the nursing of newborns born with extremelylow body weigh

Wound healing potential of chitosan and N-sulfosuccinoyl chitosan derivatives

Comparative study of chitosan wound healing properties and its synthesized derivatives in MC-100 gel was carried out using the model of experimental full thickness skin wounds. It was determined that N-sulfosuccinoyl chitosan derivatives added into the gel in a concentration of 0. 05% possess the higher wound healing activity in comparison with other chitosan derivatives and decrease the half-healing period of wounds 2-3 times in comparison with the control. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Physical and sports activity of schoolchildren and students: problems &prospects for solutions

The article presents the results of a study of physical culture and sports activities in the aspect of its influence on the body of 175 female schoolchildren and students aged 17-19 years old in the process of activities of educational institutions of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. On the basis of the anthropometric survey, three main somatotypes of micro-, meso- and macrosomal were identified, which accounted for 63% of all surveyed. The assessment of the level and changes in the indicators of physical qualities revealed that the subjects belonging to the accelerated variant of biological development (group "A") have significantly better results (p<0.05), compared with the subjects of normal (group "B") and slow (group "C"). This difference is especially pronounced in indicators characterizing speed (by 8.7%; p<0.05), speed-strength (by 12%; p<0.05) and power (by 17.1%; p<0.05) ability. The described changes in the indicators of the studied physical qualities were of a hierarchical nature and, in general, reflected a satisfactory level of their development for each age group in relation to the control standards for the years of study (in group "A" significantly better results (p<0.05) compared to groups " B" and "C"). This difference is especially pronounced between the subjects of groups "A" and "C" in terms of speed (by 8.7%; p<0.05), speed-strength (by 12.0%; p<0.05), power (by 17.1%; p<0.05) qualities and general endurance (by 12.4%; p<0.05). The performed studies allowed us to propose a mechanism for the formation of a person's value orientations, when the influence of external factors on a person significantly increased during the period of uncertainty. The results of a survey of young adult females made it possible to formulate the idea of an innovative health-saving and body-oriented technology for the effective construction of activities in the conditions of educational institutions, reflecting the flexibility of training and educational programs in terms of physical culture, health and sports orientation, taking into account the body type of the surveyed students. The article presents data on the study of physical culture and sports activity in the aspect of its impact on the body of schoolchildren and students in the course of the activities of educational institutions. The mechanism of formation of value orientations of the personality is revealed, when the influence of external factors on the personality has significantly increased during the period of uncertainty.В статье приведены результаты исследования физкультурно-спортивной деятельности в аспекте ее влияния на организм 175 школьников и студентов женского пола в возрасте 17-19 лет в процессе деятельности учреждений образования Республики Беларусь и Российской Федерации. На основании проведенного антропометрического обследовано выявлены три основных соматотипа микро-, мезо- и макросомный, которые составили 63% от всех обследованных. Проведенная оценка уровня и изменения показателей физических качеств выявила, что испытуемые, относящиеся к ускоренному варианту биологического развития (группа «А»), имеют достоверно лучшие результаты (р<0,05), по сравнению с испытуемыми нормального (группа «В») и замедленного (группа «С»). Это различие особенно выражено в показателях, характеризующих скоростные (на 8,7%; р<0,05), скоростно-силовые (на 12%; р<0,05) и силовые (на 17,1%; р<0,05) способности. Описанные изменения показателей исследуемых физических качеств носили иерархичный характер и, в целом, отражали удовлетворительный уровень их развития для каждой возрастной группы соотносительно контрольных нормативов по годам обучения (в группе «А» достоверно лучшие результаты (р<0,05) по сравнению с группами «В» и «С»). Особенно это различие выражено между испытуемыми групп «А» и «С» в показателях скоростных (на 8,7%; р<0,05), скоростно-силовых (на 12,0%; р<0,05), силовых (на 17,1%; р<0,05) качеств и общей выносливости (на 12,4%; р<0,05). Выполненные исследования позволили предложить механизм формирования ценностных ориентаций личности, когда влияние внешних факторов на личность значительно усилилось в период неопределенности. Полученные результаты обследования молодых взрослых женского пола позволили сформулировать идею инновационной здоровье-сберегающей и телесно-ориентированной технологии для эффективного построения деятельности в условиях учреждений образования, отражающую гибкость учебных и образовательных программ в аспекте физкультурно-оздоровительной и спортивной направленности с учетом типа телосложения обследованных учащихся и студенток
