THE ROLE AND PLACE OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONS

The subject of the study. Financial support for the competitive development of the country’s economy is gaining important meaning nowadays. There is determined the necessity of adapting the country’s financial system to the European integration priorities of the development and solving the problem issues in the field of attracting financial resources by combining sources of their inflow to improve the efficiency of financial potential management of the country and its regions. The differentiation of regional development is the basis for monitoring the components of sustainable development, including the financial component, in order to further take into account territorial features in the process of the formation of financial resources of the regions. Methodology. In the course of the research, based on the synthesis of scientific approaches, an actual vision of the treatment of financial potential is formulated, determined by the aggregate of resource support, in particular, the real and potentially available financial resources, as well as the capabilities of the country, including organizational, managerial, functional, infrastructural, and adaptive for the accumulation of financial resources, their transformation into productive financial capital, its redistribution between economic entities and its use of capital to provide the sustainable development of the country and its regions. Aim. It is to explore the structure of the financial potential of the country and its regions, under the influence of transformational changes in the economy, where new elements appear. To generalize the development of foreign economic activity, which makes it possible to include in the composition of possible financial resources of the state and its separate regions a whole group of financial resources that are of external origin, in particular, loans from the International Monetary Fund, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, investments in free economic zones and territories priority development, borrowing from international financial markets, technical assistance from foreign non-government financial institutions. Conclusions of the study. It should be noted that nowadays, when the financial potential of the regions of the country is formed not only at the expense of budgetary funds, together with the state both the private sector and the population appear as business entities. It is emphasized that the priority in determining the sources that form the financial potential is their territorial membership, within which there are cash accumulation of incomes, economic entities and the population as a result of their production and economic activity, and attracted funds from the side that are concentrated in the respective funds for ensuring the continuity of extended reproduction and satisfying other social needs. A prerequisite for ensuring balanced development of the country and its regions is the sufficiency of financial resources in order to fulfil the functions entrusted to state authorities and local self-government bodies. At the same time, the management of the economic development of the country will take a qualitatively new innovative level, where each member of the territorial community will become a full and active participant in economic relations based on the principles of participation and solidarity in the region, as well as in the country as a whole

Knowledge Priorities on Climate Change and Water in the Upper Indus Basin: A Horizon Scanning Exercise to Identify the Top 100 Research Questions in Social and Natural Sciences

River systems originating from the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) are dominated by runoff from snow and glacier melt and summer monsoonal rainfall. These water resources are highly stressed as huge populations of people living in this region depend on them, including for agriculture, domestic use, and energy production. Projections suggest that the UIB region will be affected by considerable (yet poorly quantified) changes to the seasonality and composition of runoff in the future, which are likely to have considerable impacts on these supplies. Given how directly and indirectly communities and ecosystems are dependent on these resources and the growing pressure on them due to ever-increasing demands, the impacts of climate change pose considerable adaptation challenges. The strong linkages between hydroclimate, cryosphere, water resources, and human activities within the UIB suggest that a multi- and inter-disciplinary research approach integrating the social and natural/environmental sciences is critical for successful adaptation to ongoing and future hydrological and climate change. Here we use a horizon scanning technique to identify the Top 100 questions related to the most pressing knowledge gaps and research priorities in social and natural sciences on climate change and water in the UIB. These questions are on the margins of current thinking and investigation and are clustered into 14 themes, covering three overarching topics of “governance, policy, and sustainable solutions”, “socioeconomic processes and livelihoods”, and “integrated Earth System processes”. Raising awareness of these cutting-edge knowledge gaps and opportunities will hopefully encourage researchers, funding bodies, practitioners, and policy makers to address them

Socialization, legitimation and the transfer of biomedical knowledge to low- and middle-income countries: analyzing the case of emergency medicine in India

BACKGROUND: Medical specialization is a key feature of biomedicine, and is a growing, but weakly understood aspect of health systems in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including India. Emergency medicine is an example of a medical specialty that has been promoted in India by several high-income country stakeholders, including the Indian diaspora, through transnational and institutional partnerships. Despite the rapid evolution of emergency medicine in comparison to other specialties, this specialty has seen fragmentation in the stakeholder network and divergent training and policy objectives. Few empirical studies have examined the influence of stakeholders from high-income countries broadly, or of diasporas specifically, in transferring knowledge of medical specialization to LMICs. Using the concepts of socialization and legitimation, our goal is to examine the transfer of medical knowledge from high-income countries to LMICs through domestic, diasporic and foreign stakeholders, and the perceived impact of this knowledge on shaping health priorities in India. METHODS: This analysis was conducted as part of a broader study on the development of emergency medicine in India. We designed a qualitative case study focused on the early 1990s until 2015, analyzing data from in-depth interviewing (n = 87), document review (n = 248), and non-participant observation of conferences and meetings (n = 6). RESULTS: From the early 1990s, domestic stakeholders with exposure to emergency medicine in high-income countries began to establish Emergency Departments and initiate specialist training in the field. Their efforts were amplified by the active legitimation of emergency medicine by diasporic and foreign stakeholders, who formed transnational partnerships with domestic stakeholders and organized conferences, training programs and other activities to promote the field in India. However, despite a broad commitment to expanding specialist training, the network of domestic, diasporic and foreign stakeholders was highly fragmented, resulting in myriad unstandardized postgraduate training programs and duplicative policy agendas. Further, the focus in this time period was largely on training specialists, resulting in more emphasis on a medicalized, tertiary-level form of care. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis reveals the complexities of the roles and dynamics of domestic, diasporic and foreign stakeholders in the evolution of emergency medicine in India. More research and critical analyses are required to explore the transfer of medical knowledge, such as other medical specialties, models of clinical care, and medical technologies, from high-income countries to India
