Current State of Youth Employment in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

The relevance of this research is evident as the problems of the modern market economy and the financial system of the global world economy are highly pertinent to economic science. In the modern world, on its way to globalization, the ability to promptly adapt to the conditions of international competition is becoming instrumental for ensuring successful and sustainable development. The primary competitive advantage held by a highly developed country is related to the possibility of updating its human development index, which is largely determined by the state of its education system. Thus, this area is connected to the country’s sustainable economic growth over the medium and long terms; the employment of fresh graduates is a complex, relevant and multifaceted problem, since it affects almost all segments of society. Currently, in view of the rapidly evolving situation in the labor market, the threat of unemployment for recent graduates is becoming extremely acute. Today’s graduates replenish vulnerable social groups that are suffering from difficult life situations. The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of employment of university graduates, as exemplified by the employment of recent graduates, and to provide recommendations to assist in their recruitment. A combination of theoretical (analysis, generalization while establishing principles and patterns), organizational (comparison, longitudinal method) and empirical (sociological methods, observational methods, quantitative method of statistical processing of the collected data and interpretation method) methods was used in the research. As part of the study, knowledge regarding the primary factors affecting high school graduates’ employment is defined and systematized. The practical and theoretical significance of the study lies in the recommendations developed for promoting university graduates’ employment in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) [RS (Y)] based on the results obtained.The relevance of this research is evident as the problems of the modern market economy and the financial system of the global world economy are highly pertinent to economic science.

En el mundo moderno, en su camino hacia la globalización, la capacidad de adaptarse rápidamente a las condiciones de la competencia internacional se está convirtiendo en un instrumento para asegurar un desarrollo exitoso y sostenible. La principal ventaja competitiva de un país altamente desarrollado está relacionada con la posibilidad de actualizar su índice de desarrollo humano, que viene determinado en gran medida por el estado de su sistema educativo. Así pues, esta esfera está relacionada con el crecimiento económico sostenible del país a mediano y largo plazo; el empleo de los recién graduados es un problema complejo, pertinente y polifacético, ya que afecta a casi todos los segmentos de la sociedad. Actualmente, en vista de la rápida evolución de la situación del mercado laboral, la amenaza del desempleo para los recién graduados se está agudizando enormemente. Los graduados de hoyen día reponen los grupos sociales vulnerables que están sufriendo situaciones de vida difíciles. El propósitode este estudio es analizar la situación de empleo de los graduados universitarios, como lo ejemplifica el empleo de los recién graduados, y proporcionar recomendaciones para ayudar en su contratación. En la investigación se utilizó una combinación de métodos teóricos (análisis, generalización al tiempo que se establecen principios y pautas), organizativos (comparación, método longitudinal) y empíricos (métodos sociológicos, métodos de observación, método cuantitativo de procesamiento estadístico de los datos reunidos y método de interpretación). Como parte del estudio, se definen y sistematizan los conocimientos relativos a los principales factores que afectan al empleo de los graduados de la enseñanza secundaria. La importancia práctica y teórica del estudio radica en las recomendaciones elaboradas para promover el empleo de los graduados universitarios en la República de Saja (Yakutia) [RS (Y)] sobre la base de los resultados obtenidos

Analysing distribution operations using the methods of Lean Six Sigma for Company X

In today’s highly competitive market, logistics companies must strive to achieve excellence in distribution services to win a market share. This requires logistics companies to boost their service quality and cut costs by improving performance through process optimization, loss elimination and waste reduction. Lean and Lean Six Sigma methods have proved to be effective in helping companies achieve these goals. This Thesis is based on the author’s Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Black Belt project commissioned by Company X. The scope of the project was limited to Company X’s distribution operations, particularly van loading and delivery processes, in the Helsinki metropolitan area from Terminal Y for four months period, from September to December 2016. This project aimed to provide improvement opportunities for Company X to reduce additional deliveries of the same package using Lean Six Sigma analytical methods. The theoretical framework consists of three aspects: describing distribution processes of Company X, and discovering a LSS project management approach known as Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control (DMAIC) and LSS tools for data analysis to draw conclusions. The literature review built a theoretical foundation for process analysis, while observations and interviews with workers were made to obtain reliable and valid practical information on process work in Terminal Y. Data analysis on failed deliveries and van loading efficiency was conducted using Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). In particular the following tools were used: I-Charts, Probability Chart, Process Capability Analysis, Analysis of Variance ANOVA and Pareto chart. Improvement opportunities were identified and validated in three operational areas: inbound flow, terminal handling, van loading and outbound delivery routing to customers. Other recommendations were made regarding planned improvements to Company X’s distribution infrastructure and software, planned for near term capital investment

ABOUT SOME AMBIGUOUS TENDENCIES IN RUSSIAN HIGHER SCHOOL

Abstract. The paper analyzes some contradictory tendencies in the development of higher chool in Russia. On the example of the Economics faculty of Saint Petersburg State University the author identifies some disturbing consequences of reforms, which are topical also for other higher educational institutions. On the basis of the questionnaire poll of BSC and MSC students, the author determines the key problems of higher school development on the modern stage. Inter alia the following questions are discussed: should master’s programs be academic or applied; is it rational to combine students after profile baccalaureate with students without appropriate education within the master course; is it reasonable to staff the state examination board entirely with business representatives. The paper presents the assessment of quality from graduates’ point of view. Some measures of improving the quality of education are suggested

Forecast of the development of demand for charging points for electric vehicles in Russian cities

Road transport is one of the main consumers of fossil fuels in the world. At the same time, ICE vehicle emissions form about a quarter of all greenhouse gases in the world. In this regard, the transition to electric vehicles is extremely important. Their operation is more economical and environmentally friendly. The massive shift away from liquid-fuel vehicles will have a significant positive effect on a global scale. At the moment, more than 20 countries of the world have planned the transition to electric vehicles by 2030-2040. They are beginning to be introduced into various areas: personal and public transport, special-purpose vehicles, cargo transportation, etc. At the same time, there are barriers that need to be overcome for the widespread mass transition to electric cars. In particular, the choice of models is limited and their price is high. The technologies for the production and disposal of individual components, such as batteries, remain insufficiently developed. Electric networks are not always ready for additional load. The network of electric filling stations is not sufficiently developed. Russia also supports this global trend and faces restrictions. Various scenarios for the development of electric vehicles have been predicted. Measures of state support for both consumers and manufacturers of electric vehicles are indicated, which are aimed at achieving the indicators of a balanced or accelerated scenario for this market
