Well-Being Indices Comparative Analysis: Russia And Foreign Countries

Using the OECD’s data, we study well-being indices comparison main areas for Russia and economically developed countries. The tendency of unleading countries to find mechanisms of economic growth by the welfare various aspects impact is noted. We used the method of complex efficiency estimation to solve the problem of economic well-being analysis. We assessed the effectiveness and optimality of economic well-being of the population. The effectiveness assessment of economic well-being in Russia revealed a significant gap from foreign countries by most indices. The optimality assessment of economic well-being did not reveal any major differences in values between men and women both in Russia and in foreign countries, but allowed to establish a greater gap between the values of indicators of leading and lagging groups in Russia than in other countries. Indicators ratio of lagging groups in Russia with foreign countries was worse than the ratio of indicators at the entire population level. The results of the economic well-being analysis are advisable to consider in the process of state regulation in Russia. State support of social services should be a priority of social and economic policy on the federal and regional authorities. Our analysis justifies the recommendation to reduce the gap between rich and poor groups of Russia's population by using various regulatory tools, including a progressive scale for a number of taxes

High-temperature piezoelectric materials for elements of linear piezo motors

This paper discusses technological and construction ways to achieve a high working temperature with a high displacement in linear piezo motors. The first part reviews the results of the piezoelectric material development, its temperature stability testing and basic parameters for piezo motors. The second part focuses on the multilayer structure of piezoelectric elements, which are based on high-temperature piezoelectric materials (HTPM). Also analyzed are working temperatures of multilayer piezoelectric elements (MPE) and their hysteresis. Finally, the third part shows a comparison of three recent prototypes of high-temperature MPEs that were in our lab using different materials

The peripheral hemodynamics of the lower extremities of powerlifters

Objective: to study the features of peripheral hemodynamics of the lower extremities of powerlifters depending on their experience and qualification. Materials and methods: the study of cardiovascular systemwas conducted in 38 men aged from 18 to 25 years engaged in powerlifting. 20 participants had sports categories (1-3) and 18 participantswere candidates or masters of sports. To study the regional blood flow in the areas of «foot», «calf» and «hip» the hardware and software complex «Reo-Spectrum-3» of «Neuro-Soft» were used. Results: significant decrease in the amplitude of the systolic wave, the arterial wave, the maximum systolic value of the venous component of the hip of powerlifters was revealed in comparison with the control group. A significant decrease in the amplitude-frequency index of powerlifters was also revealed. The index of fast filling was significantly lower in powerlifters. The values of the «inflow-outflow»ratio pointed at the change of the tonus of vessel wall in powerlifters. The average speed of slow filling indicated a decrease in the tonus of small and medium arteries in powerlifters. The change in vascular tone in powerlifters indirectly indicated a shift in the autonomic balance towards the predominance of sympathetic influences.All parameters showed an increased stress of the mechanisms of regulation of cardiac activity. Conclusions: the nature of blood circulation shifts includes changes in both the arterial and venous parts of the blood stream. The most pronounced changes in peripheral blood circulation were found in the areas of «calf» and «foot». With the growth of sports skills, the nature and degree of vascular changes increases, which indicates a decrease in the adaptive capacity of the vascular system of the lower extremities to intense physical activity

THE “TECHSUCCESS” RATING AND THE FINANCIAL INDICATORS OF HIGH-TECH BUSINESSES: CORRELATION ANALYSIS

The authors carry out an analysis of the “TechSuccess” rating and the enterprises’ financial indicators, calculated on the basis of accounting data. The purpose of the paper is to identify the correlations between the stable local ratings of “TechSuccess” and the financial indicators of enterprises. The research method is correlation analysis based on Spearman’s rank correlation. The study has revealed that the local ratings of “TechSuccess”, “Innovative Companies” and “Export Potential” are more stable than the main rating and the rating “Fast-growing Companies”. Enterprises with a higher “Export Potential” rating are characterized by higher growth for the period 2013-2017, as well as lower profitability and financial stability in 2017. Enterprises with a higher innovation rating are  characterized by smaller size and more efficient use of assets. The paper describes the remaining identified  patterns. The results obtained should be taken into account when developing measures to support high-tech  business. In particular, export enterprises have gained advantages during the stagnation period in terms of revenue growth, but lack their own funds for development and are forced to resort to borrowed funds. They need support in this field

IMPACT OF FLAGSHIP ENTERPRISES ON TERRITORIAL PRODUCTIVITY: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS AT THE MUNICIPALITIES’ LEVEL

The article considers the direct and indirect influence of flagship enterprises on territorial productivity in the context of municipalities of three constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The authors suggest hypothesis that the presence of flagship enterprises affects positively on the level of territorial productivity. The paper  assumes that a number of socio-economic factors enhance the impact of flagship enterprises on territorial  productivity. The analysis of panel data from 84 municipalities in three regions of the Russian Federation confirmed the positive role of flagship enterprises in increasing the productivity of municipalities. These effects are particularly strong when the territory has a high income level, high population growth rates and low unemployment level. The results are characterized by high stability and make it possible to form recommendations  for governing bodies on creating conditions for faster growth

Stagnation and renewable growth of enterprises: an empirical analysis by sectors of the Russian economy

An unfavorable external environment requires an emphasis shift in economic researches of enterprise development from factors and mechanisms of growth to the analysis of stagnation processes and the search for mechanisms to enter the path of growth after stagnation. The purpose of this work is to study the intensity of the processes of stagnation and subsequent renewable growth of enterprises in the context of a wide range of sectors of the Russian economy. Signs of stagnation or drop in sales are revealed for 2013–2017, renewable growth – within 4 years after the stagnation period. The research methods are the calculation of economic coefficients and the identification of differences between them using methods of mathematical statistics. It was found that in an unfavorable external environment, significant proportion of Russian enterprises showed signs of stagnation or drop in sales. Certain advantages are shown by high-tech industries, in which the intensity of business stagnation was lower. The most acute period of the crisis was the period 2013–2016. In 2017, there was an adaptation of business to unfavorable environmental conditions, and the share of stagnating enterprises decreased significantly. Calculations showed that the share of enterprises demonstrating long-term renewable growth was at a low level. It reduces their attractiveness to private investors. The “age” factor can be recommended as a significant criterion for investors when choosing firms for financing: young enterprises are less susceptible to stagnation and more likely to enter the path of growth after stagnation
