Developing Databank as an Instrument for the Elder People Wellbeing Analysis

Recent researchers succeed in well-being measuring of elder people life.Russian scientists have to run after the leaders investigating the official statistics data and analyzing the trends of indices. Within the project in Evaluation and enhancement of social, economic and emotional wellbeing of older adults we designed the model of older generation well-being measuring and the database to calculate objective and subjective indices according to this model. This paper is focused on the database created to elder people well-being research. The information system' structure is subscribed. It is consisted of database and web-interface. Either the results of its application for elder people well-being assessing are presented. Using the information system we defined some trends in indices dynamics for Tomsk region at 2000 - 2013. We found the next results: the employed pensioners' number increases significantly, the rural pensioners number is declining. The elder people's availability for using IT grew from 5.56 per cent to 78 per cent of the respondents during 2007-2013. There is a positive dynamics in all analyzed social objects visiting availabilities for elder people. More than 80 per cent of respondents can visit medical clinic, department store, pharmacy and the bank office on foot. The social care and Pension Fund nearness is less

The role of information technologies in organization of non-formal education

The authors consider the role of information technologies in realization of non-formal education in the modern information society. Cultural and leisure institutions, libraries etc. become facilitators of non-formal education. Introduction to cultural values, to the new knowledge, obtaining positive emotions attracts the representatives of various professional and social groups to this kind of education and additionally favors their familiarization with the Humanities. A large choice of new, game forms and methods of training, learners’ active participation – all this empowers non-formal education and a skill to learn and work under the conditions of redundant information is one of the most relevant in the modern society

Biosafety Analysis of Metabolites of <i>Streptomyces tauricus</i> Strain 19/97 M, Promising for the Production of Biological Products

A biosafety study was carried out concerning the metabolites of Streptomyces tauricus strain 19/97 M. This strain is a promising producer of biological preparations and shows antagonistic properties against Fusarium fungi, which cause Fusarium wilt disease. The strain has a pronounced biological activity against conifers, cereals and legumes. The treatment of planting material reduces infections, increases germination and furthers plant productivity. Using metabolites, we understood the culture liquid separated by filtration after the cultivation of the strain. Animals of different taxonomic affiliations were used as test objects: (CBA × C57BI/6) F1 hybrid mice (Mus musculus) (warm-blooded organisms), Daphnia magna Straus (planktonic crustaceans) and the unicellular alga Chlorella vulgaris Beijer. In the study, we were guided by the test standards for acute oral toxicity and irritation to the skin, mucous membranes of the eyes and inhalation toxicity. The research results showed that the metabolites of the strain are not acutely toxic to organisms of different taxonomic levels. The metabolites of the strain do not have an irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Based on the studies carried out, metabolites can be used for creating a fungicidal biological preparation

Improving of the Validity Tariffs Level Control for Housing and Communal Services Based on Economic and Mathematical Modeling Совершенствование контроля обоснованности уровня тарифов ЖКХ на основе экономико-математического моделирования

The article analyzes the current state of the tariffs for housing and communal services regulation. Topicality of the control validity level in tariffs were reasoned in view of coordinating the interests of all stakeholders of housing and communal services: the state, producers and customers. The concept of modeling, evaluation and removal uncertainty based on forming a quasi-homogeneous statistical aggregates regulated organizations, modeling, and assessment of variance in declared tariff levels from their estimated («analog-to-average») level was proposed to using in forming of system of tariff control. This approach will identify with lowest cost violators of the tariff legislation - an organization with a high potential of regulation.В статье проанализировано современное состояние тарифного регулирования ЖКХ. Аргументирована актуальность проведения контроля обоснованности уровня тарифов на услуги ЖКХ с учетом согласования интересов всех участников процесса образования услуг: государства, производителей и потребителей услуг. Предложено при формировании системы тарифного контроля использовать концепцию моделирования, оценки и снятия процесса неопределенности на основе формирования квазиоднородных статистических совокупностей регулируемых организаций, моделирования их деятельности и оценки отклонения декларируемых тарифов от их расчетной («аналого-усредненной») величины. Такой подход позволит выявить с наименьшими затратами нарушителей тарифного законодательства – организации ЖКХ с высоким потенциалом регулирования

Photocurable Methacrylate Derivatives of Polylactide: A Two-Stage Synthesis in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and 3D Laser Structuring

A two-stage polylactide modification was performed in the supercritical carbon dioxide medium using the urethane formation reaction. The modification resulted in the synthesis of polymerizable methacrylate derivatives of polylactide for application in the spatial 3D structuring by laser stereolithography. The use of the supercritical carbon dioxide medium allowed us to obtain for the first time polymerizable oligomer-polymer systems in the form of dry powders convenient for further application in the preparation of polymer compositions for photocuring. The photocuring of the modified polymers was performed by laser stereolithography and two-photon crosslinking. Using nanoindentation, we found that Young&rsquo;s modulus of the cured compositions corresponded to the standard characteristics of implants applied in regenerative medicine. As shown by thermogravimetric analysis, the degree of crosslinking and, hence, the local stiffness of scaffolds were determined by the amount of the crosslinking agent and the photocuring regime. No cytotoxicity was observed for the structures
