Normative and Institutional Foundations of Modern State Policy Regarding Complainers Abroad

Currently, about 30 million [8] compatriots live in the world who finds themselves outside of Russia. The collapse of the USSR and the formation new independent states saw millions of Russian people separated from Russia by borders, and faced discrimination on the basis of language, which caused an increase in the migration activity of the Russian population in the post-Soviet space. This situation requires a review of the principles and directions state authorities’ activity in the migration sphere and determination of the necessary regulatory legal framework for regulating the processes of the influx of migrants from the former Soviet republics to Russia. The purposes of the research are 1) to study the regulatory and institutional foundations of modern public policy in relation to compatriots abroad and 2) to identify its main directions. The main research method is the analysis of official documents, regulatory legal acts, reporting and analytical documents of authorities implementing the state policy regarding compatriots living abroad. The state policy of the Russian Federation regarding expatriate citizens is a system of legal, diplomatic, social, economic, and organizational measures aimed at supporting and protecting Russian compatriots, ensuring the exercise of their rights and legitimate interests, as well as creating conditions under which they could would live as equal citizens in foreign countries or return to the Russian Federation. The state policy of the Russian Federation regarding compatriots abroad is implemented in two opposite directions, which significantly reduces its effectiveness. The mechanisms for implementing this policy are various forms of horizontal and vertical cooperation and interaction in various fields such as humanitarian, social, educational, cultural, and economic. A significant number of policy implementation entities required the creation and use of modern mechanisms for coordinating their activities. The resources spent on the return of compatriots to their homeland are not able to compensate for the emigration outflow from Russia, however, mechanisms aimed at solving the latter problem are not provided. In fact, the local population is excluded from the scope of this policy, which entails a number of problems associated not only with the attitude of the host society towards the migrants, but also with the desire of a significant part of the youth to leave Russia.

HOW TO ADD VALUE TO BUSINESS BY EMPLOYING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND TRANSFORMING MANAGEMENT APPROACHES

The aim of this study is to present the experience in the management of enterprises at different levels: from optimising business processes to introducing strategic business development. We have analysed the experience in creating digital metallurgy in Russia and present the experience in implementing a smart system for monitoring and diagnostics of line equipment at the Alchevsk metallurgical plant. The article reviews major issues related to the introduction of artificial intelligence systems so as to exercise automated control over production processes. These issues refer to the deterioration and depreciation of production assets which is caused by the reallocation of funds for the modernisation of production and the unpreparedness of staff for the introduction of new systems. Digital technologies provide new opportunities for managing corporate resources and initiating profitable activities. The article also reviews applying Design Thinking techniques and tools to the training and education of specialists for the digital economy. Entrepreneurial skills, out-of-the-box thinking, the ability to work in teams and to make decisions are essential competencies which must be acquired by students during their academic training so that businesses could be prepared for their digital transformation

Recycling waste as raw material for powder coatings

According to global market analysis, annual production of polymer composites is expected to increase by an average of 6%, reaching a volume of 13-14 million tonnes by 2024, primarily in the building industry and mechanical engineering sectors. Recycling of polymer composites can be achieved through secondary use or recycling of solid waste. In Russia, about 160 out of 343 polymer producers are engaged in polymer recycling, with a focus on thermoplastics. However, recycling of thermoplastics is a complex process due to the strong polymer matrix structure, varying fillers, and resistance to thermal and chemical degradation. Mechanical grinding of waste polymer composites in powder form is a promising way to obtain a secondary product for decorative and protective coatings. Powder coating is a mixture of polymer powders with target and staining pigments, which sprayed onto the surface of a product and then polymerized at 150-220 °С. This paper compares a commercial polymer powder coating with a powder coating derived from recycled glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) on an epoxy binder. The study shows that the polymer powder coating composition obtained from recycled GRP is comparable to commercial powder coatings in terms of uniformity of distribution over the coated surface

Kinesitherapy in patients with Parkinson's disease

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the extrapyramidal system. The disease is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that can significantly disrupt the patient's daily life and affect the quality of life. Incidence and prevalence increase proportionally with age. Motor symptoms occur as a result of the destruction of neurons in the striatonigral regions and consequent reduction of dopamine in the corpus striatium. As a result of these pathological processes, the characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's appear. From the point of view of neurorehabilitation, it aims to reduce the progression of the disease, prevent the occurrence of additional complications and, as far as possible, ease the patient's new condition. Purpose: To monitor the influence of kinesitherapeutic agents on motor abilities in patients with Parkinson's disease. Contingent and methods: The study included 12 patients with Parkinson's disease (7 men and 5 women, mean age 64.2±3.7), II-III according to Hoehn and Yahr during a period of 1 month. 15 individual one-hour kinesitherapeutic procedures were carried out, including spinal flexibility exercises from a relaxed initial position, dynamic exercises, games and sports elements. In the preparatory part, breathing exercises with prolonged exhalation, segmental massage, relaxing procedures, manual stretching with swaying are used. The main part of the procedure aims to reduce bradykinesia by mobilizing the spine and increasing the range of motion in the joints, improving balance and gait stability through cyclical exercises. The effect of the application of kinesitherapeutic agents on movement disorders is evaluated - subjective assessment of body posture, Waltenberg test, modified brain test. Results: The study shows that applied kinesitherapy during 1 month (15 individual procedures) has a positive effect (p<0.001), reduces the rigidity of cervical muscles, improves posture and coordination of patients with Parkinson's disease. Conclusion: The implementation of kinesitherapeutic agents for a long time shows a positive effect in patients with Parkinson's disease, which leads to an impact on their motor abilities.

Comorbidities as prognostic factors in the healing of venous ulcers

Background: The problem of venous ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency is quite common in dermatological clinics. Every day, we face challenges regarding treatment and prognosis. As the patients are more often over fifty years of age, with more comorbidities, and at the very beginning of treatment, we already have an idea of how the entire process of epithelization of the ulcers may take place. Materials and Methods: A total of 105 patients with chronic venous insufficiency and venous ulcers were included in the study. Each was followed for more than twelve weeks. Patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and thrombophlebitis were analyzed separately. Results: Patients with an ulcer closure time of twelve weeks and longer had a high blood pressure more often. Diabetics with venous ulcers on the lower extremities more often had delayed ulcer healing. A statistically significant difference was confirmed in the distribution of the patients with and without thrombophlebitis. Conclusion: The existence of comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and thrombosis, may affect the healing process of venous ulcers, yet thrombosis proved to be the most important factor

Demographic Research in the Context of Economic Development and Security of Regions

The present paper reviews the scientific research on key global demographic megatrends such as population ageing and migration that have a significant long-term impact on social and economic development. However, attitudes towards these demographic trends and their consequences range from seeing them as security threats to development opportunities. This review systematises demographic studies and identifies the most promising scientific areas to explain a wide range of consequences and propose relevant recommendations. Thus, a research algorithm was constructed in order to complete the following three tasks: (1) to analyse and classify the consequences of the described demographic trends for social and economic development; (2) to conduct a comparative analysis of such sources of filling the labour shortage in Russian regions as stimulating labour participation of pensioners and facilitating the access of foreigners to the labour market; (3) to identify literature gaps that require further attention. To create a database, keywords «population ageing» and «population migration» were searched in the main collections of Web of Science, Scopus and Russian Index Science Citation (RISC). The survey showed that ageing and migration do not hinder economic growth and well-being of the population. However, these demographic processes require effective policy development to comprehensively solve economic and social issues, as well as the problems of the elderly population and migrants. Therefore, ageing and migration should rather be seen as opportunities for territorial development, while poor adaptability of existing institutions to these processes is what threatens economic security. The conducted study shows that the problem of institutions’ adaptation to modern demographic trends is not fully examined in scientific literature and requires further investigation

Therapeutic approach in a patient with spinal disc herniation

Sequestered fragment of the IV discs usually migrated caudally, but rarely can and proximal. The fragmented disc is actually a torn part of the IV disk placed in the spinal canal.IV disc has no blood vessels and the exchange of matter is carried out by diffusion. Aim: The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the complex therapeutic approach in patients with sequestered IV discus. Materials and metods: The examination involves a patient at the age of 60 who complains of severe pain in the lumbar area and pain along the right leg. The patient has an antalgic posturebecause of the tightening of the musculature by the herniated discus. It has an impaired movement and a weakened sense of touch on the right leg. Pseudolaseque is + at 30 ° to the right. The following diagnostic methods have been applied: laboratory examination of the clinical picture, Sedimentation, CRP, Alkaline phosphatase, Native radiography of the L-S spine, MRI on L-S on the spine. The MRI of the L-S spine shows a disc herniation with sequestration at L-4 L-5 level with a disc herniated from the dorso-medio lateral direction,right with compression of the dural sac and right radix. There is also a disc hernial degree 1 at the level L-5 S-1. Degenerative changes in the vertebral bodies and IV discs of the described levels are registered.The spinal canal at these levels is reduced by hypertrophy of the facet joints and the ligament flea. Results: After the applied medical and non-medicated physical therapy symptoms have been disappeared. Conclusion: Experience shows that by the time the herniated discus is decreasing.This is due to the fibrovascular tissue that is created around the herniated, ie the free fragment of the disc. Proper therapeutic approach for patients with disc herniation and �the application of complex drug treatment and physical therapy leads to disappearing of symptoms
