Medical Care as Factors that Affect Wellbeing of Elderly People

Health care is a high-priority problem to be solved by the society. The paper is focused on social problems of the elderly. Solution of the problems related to the third age people, adaptation of the older generations to new conditions of democratization in Russia, and active involvement in the life of society is one of the main directions of the state policy in the area of social assistance. This implies, according to the authors, the adequate provision of health care for the elderly with due regard to their age, residence, and income level. The statistics on the number of health care visits by elderly patients in different regions of Russian has been provided in terms of morbidity, hospitalization, and clinical supervision. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes that health care involves the provision of a wide spectrum of services for the elderly due to the effective state social policy and respect for old age

Barriers to Innovation in the Implementation of the Investment Strategy: An Empirical Study

The problem of inward investment to the innovative economic sector is very acute today. The investment determines the economic development, but nowadays the low efficiency of investment activity in the sphere of innovations is obvious. This indicates the need for correction of the strategy taking into account social processes. The implications of innovative changes are not always predictable. The society takes innovations with a great caution. The innovation resistance can differ by the degree of its manifestation depending on the scale of innovative changes. Barriers encountered in the innovative changes hinder the innovative activity of financial companies, prevent the creation of new institutions and formation of innovative strategies, hamper the development of the actors implementing investment projects. This article studies the causes of innovative resistance and the parameters of existing barriers. The existence of innovation barriers and their detailed classification is described for the first time. The aim of this study is to create a model that allows to assess the barriers to the innovative development basing on their parameters. The study justifies the factors of the investment strategy adaptation in order to create the environment of successful activity for a company in the innovative region. The study determines the influence of these parameters on the state investment strategy. The suggested model is based on the statistical data from the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation. It can be implemented to analyze the innovative situation in a region in order to provide a necessary adaptation of the investment strategies

Forming Linguistic Competence of Foreign Students at the Preparatory Department of a Technical University

The article describes the technique developed by the authors to organize classroom lessons and independent work for foreign learners studying in Russian at the Preparatory department of a technical university. At the classroom lessons in Mathematics students worked with five types of tasks: sample tasks; text analysis; micro essay; model task; mastering mathematical symbols. During the independent work in the study of Mathematics, foreign students performed tests and teamwork tasks placed on the platform Moodle. We have carried out the experiments, which showed that the technique of organizing classroom lessons and independent work, developed by the authors, had a positive impact on the level of linguistic competence in Mathematics of foreign students of the Preparatory department

Innovative computer technologies as an implementer of active methods of training

Introduction of computer means in high schools is dictated by innovative processes in education.One of the latest innovations is Moodle, an open source web-based platform that provides a virtual learningenvironment. The article describes the arrangement of students' learning at the technical university with thehelp of didactic materials placed on the Moodle platform. The experimental work has shown that theorganization of learning by means of the virtual learning environment had a positive effect on the level oftraining of first-year students. The survey conducted after the experiment completion allowed us to revealthe difficulties that students experienced during the work in the electronic environment, and, therefore, toplan the ways of their elimination

Development of the Production Process Model Based on the Controllable Input Factors

The research aims to study noncompliances in the production process, defects in chipboard manufacturing and the related costs. The influence of production process parameters on the parameters of finished products and correlation dependence of considered parameters have been shown. The mathematical model of the multiple-factor production process has been developed

Study of types of defects in wood chipboard production

Types of defects in wood chipboard production and losses connected with the defects were studied. Faulty products were studied by statistical methods of control; analysis of causes of faulty products at wood chipboards production was carried out. Economical appraisal of losses according to peculiarities of production was given

Mathematic modeling of the method of measurement relative dielectric permeability

The method of measuring relative permittivity's and the position of the interface between layers of a liquid medium is considered in the article. An electric capacitor is a system consisting of two conductors that are separated by a dielectric layer. It is mathematically proven that at any given time it is possible to obtain the values of the relative permittivity in the layers of the liquid medium and to determine the level of the interface between the layers of the two-layer liquid. The estimation of measurement errors is made

Control System of Parameters of the Azimuthal Module

Analytical and experimental studies of the azimuthal module of two-component vibrational micromechanical gyroscope were conducted. It is shown that the micromechanical gyroscope is a system with distributed parameters. The frequency analysis is performed using software T-Flex. The influence of mechanical disturbances on the movement of azimuthal module in the form of translational and angular oscillations is shown; the natural frequencies of the azimuth are defined

Developing a Medical Institution Management System through Promoting Social Accountability

The paper regards the implementation of social accountability principles into the system of medical institution management as the target of research. The process of personnel management is viewed as its research subject. The paper aims to develop the system of incentives for medical institution personnel based on the principles of social accountability. The research methods and tools applied in the study are analysis of content and internal enterprise documentation, staff member interviews and statistical methods of data processing. The expected research outcome is the implementation phase of the social accountability management system resulted in the development of the Code of corporate conduct. The article advocates the view, that the Code of Conduct should be based on the diagnosis of the state of corporate culture and motivate employees of the organization. The management team of medical institution can set their own social and reasonable quality management system, which will enable it to promote and involve staff in the process of improvement
