Regional differentiation of human potential indicators
The purpose of the study presented in this article is an interregional analysis of human potential. The quality of the population proper is investigated at the regional level far less than the quality of the population life. The article provides an extended characteristic of human potential in seven directions: economic activity, demographic processes, physical health, the cultural potential of population, social health, educational potential, the attitude of population to the environment. On the basis of official statistics for 2008–2012, there were selected 63 indicators characterizing human potential in all these directions. In the final result, the correlation analysis has led to the substantiation of the system of indicators for the level of human potential development, consisting of 10 indicators. The system included 3 economic indicators and 7 social indicators characterizing human potential. Upon these indicators the Russian regions were divided in two types of regions by means of hierarchic agglomerative (combining) methods of cluster analysis: the regions with economic indicators and without them. The performed calculations provided the typology of regions by the human potential indicators being stable over time and covering 74.4 % of the Russian population. A substantial interpretation of breaking down regions by groups, identification of both strong and weak aspects of each cluster were made, finding out specific features of the regions falling under the clusters. The obtained results can be used when working out measures for reducing the interregional inequality in the levels of human potential development. To find out what measures can be effective, it is possible to examine the strategic directions of regions’ development in the cluster that is the most successful with respect to the human potential characteristics under investigation
Measurement of binding energy of negatively charged excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells
We report a photoluminescence study of electron-hole complexes in specially
designed semiconductor heterostructures. Placing a remote dilute layer of
donors at different distances \itshape d \normalfont from the quantum well
leads to the transformation of luminescence spectra of neutral () and
negatively charged () excitons. The onset of an additional spectral line
and its energy dependence on \itshape d \normalfont allows us to unambiguously
relate the so-called trion state with charged excitons bound on charged
donors in a barrier. The results indicate the overestimation in free-trion
binding energies from previous studies of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum
wells, and give their corrected values for QWs of width 200 and 300 \AA \space
in the limiting case of infinitely distant donors.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Diplomacy of the project "Economic belt of the Great Silk Road" in modern foreign policy of China
The authors consider the Chinese policies of promoting the Silk Road Economic Belt project as a means of expansion of China’s influence on the global scale in general and as a means to find new markets for its goods. China’s strategies to implement its project are viewed
