Innovation activity of corporations in emerging economies

The paper considers macro parameters of corporation innovation activity in the BRICS countries. The authors determine transnational corporation behavior strategies in the context of creating and transferring new knowledge, where developed countries (the USA, European countries and Japan) play an important role and take a leading position in this process. Companies from emerging economies focus on using and adopting innovations. The reason for this is that knowledge "is coded" specifically, consequently the participants of its exchange have to be in similar intellectual space. Nevertheless, the market-leading corporations from the BRICS countries join the world chains of innovation creation, building their networks to satisfy their branches needs concerning technological decisions and personnel trainin

Reproductive health as qualitative population characteristics

Reproductive health is an essential part of population health and qualitative characteristics of population reproduction. The purpose of this article is to estimate the most important characteristics of reproductive health in the last years in the socio-hygienic conditions of the Siberian Federal district. As the main indicators of reproductive health are considered the incidence of reproductive sphere of women, the prevalence of abortions, maternal, perinatal, infant mortality, infertility. It is shown that the prevalence of diseases that have emerged in the period of pregnancy and the postnatal period, the Siberian Federal district has steadily been in the top three of disadvantaged territories of Russia. Morbidity of pregnant women in the Siberian Federal district by 2010, above the Russian average: on diseases of blood circulation system - by 22,7 %, diseases of urine-genital sphere - by 13,8 %, violations of generic activity - by 12,8 %. In conditions of reduction of the level of reproductive health found a high level of oncological diseases of the reproductive system of women. Incidence of cancer of the mammary gland is growing. However, in the Siberian Federal district has been positive trend in reducing the number of abortions, maternal, infant and perinatal mortality. So, for the period of 2005-2010 prevalence of abortions has decreased by 20,6 %, the maternal mortality rate decreased from 54,5 in 2000 to 19,1 in 2010, per 100 000 live births. However, in spite of a relatively steady decline in the number of cases of maternal mortality, the difference of this indicatorfor the residents of the towns and villages increases. This unfavorable situation points to the need for greater availability of high-quality obstetric-gynecologic assistance to inhabitants of villages. At the present time it can be assumed violation of long-term dynamics of infant mortality rate due to more intensive inclusion in the procreation of marginalized groups of women (medico-social effect of the measures under the name of «mother's capital»). Thus, already in 2007, increased number of born full term children with a syndrome of intrauterine development, which may be the result of inclusion in the process of the birth of a new, qualitatively different groups of women, which leads to the transformation of the social structure of the parturient women. This has a tremendous impact on the dynamics of all reproductive indicators

Educational Inequality and Professional Motivation of a Future Teacher

The professional motivation and interest of the teacher in the students’ educational results are the key resources that allow educational institutions to minimize the existing inequality of educational opportunities for members of different social groups. On this point, one of the important issues of professional training of future teachers is the formation of motivation for their professional activity regarded as a factor that ensures the equality of educational opportunities for students from different social groups. Based on the results of empirical studies of different years, the article analyzes the changes that occurred in the professional motivation of students after the Ussuriysk State Pedagogical Institute joined the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in 2011 as the School of Education. The use of the same measuring instruments made it possible to conduct a comparative analysis of the professional motivation of students in different periods
