Diagnostics of Regions Resource Potential in the Context of Socio-Economic Development

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to study the possibilities for diagnosing the resource potential of the regions, taking into account the indicators of their socio-economic development.   Theoretical framework: To conduct the study, the indicators characterizing the socio-economic development of the regions were analyzed; Based on the selected indicators, indices of sub-potentials and integral estimates of the resource potential of the regions were calculated.   Design/methodology/approach: The diagnostics of the resource potential of the regions is carried out by means of an integral assessment of sub-potentials through an indicative analysis, where the average values for the country are the standard. The obtained indicative estimates (indices) for the sub-potentials of the resource potential make it possible to identify rent-forming conditions in the regions. It is proposed to use a “simplified” diagnostic model for the study, which contains the main indicators for analysis; in the "enlarged" model, it is planned to use an expanded range of indicators to identify dependencies, taking into account their dynamic changes. Approbation was carried out in the Russian region - Novgorod region.   Findings: As a result of the study, indicative estimates (indices) of the subpotentials of the resource potential of the analyzed regions were obtained, and their integral estimates of the resource potential were determined. The diagnostics of the resource potential made it possible to rank the regions according to the factor conditions of socio-economic development, as well as to lay the basis for assessing the effectiveness of the use of regional resource opportunities.   Research, Practical & Social implications: The study expands scientific knowledge in the field of formation and use of the resource potential of the regions. Improving the assessment system within the proposed approach for conducting diagnostics for specific regional tasks will allow for a competent regional policy with a focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the socio-economic development of the region.   Originality/value: The value of the study lies in the ranking of regions depending on resource conditions, which can help determine rent-forming factors and build an assessment of the efficiency of using resource potential

Role and Place of Institutional Capacity in Socio-Economic Development

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to substantiate the place and role of institutional capacity in socio-economic development (SED), taking into account the regional context.   Theoretical framework: To conduct the study, it was highlighted that the SED of society and the state is a process, as a result of which new opportunities are created for the subjects of public relations in obtaining income from the use of the potential of the resource base in the field of rental relations. The effectiveness of such a process is directly related to the process of managing the development of economic potential, which determines its role and place in the SED of society and the state.   Design/methodology/approach: In the study, the following components are classified as structural elements of economic potential: resource and institutional potential. To clarify the methodological approach to assessing the institutional potential of SED, as a category of social relations, the terminological basis of this concept was considered. Institutional potential, as a scientific concept that expresses the development of the most general institutional ties in socially significant relations between subjects of public relations, is studied in the system of socio-economic transformation "resource-potential-capital", in which the institution is a resource. The place of institutional potential is determined by the direction of evolutionary changes in SED aimed at meeting the diverse needs of society. At the same time, the institutional transformation of its resource potential creates opportunities for the subjects of this process to receive income in various areas of social relations.   Findings: As a result of the study of the role of institutional capacity, a scientific rationale was obtained for managing the effectiveness of SED, which is associated with the result of its development. As a result of the process of transformation of institutional potential, it is an institutional rent, that is, the possibility of extracting monopoly income by the subjects of rent relations in the SED process.   Research, Practical & Social implications: The study of the terminological basis of the concept of "institutional potential", as a category of SED, allows us to expand the methodology of exploratory and fundamental research in the field of the influence of institutions on the evolution of social relations in relation to the problems of managing the processes of development of a competitive environment.   Originality/value: Clarification of the institutional potential concept, as well as substantiation of its role and place in the assessment and implementation of SED processes, allows us to propose mechanisms for adjusting institutions operating in society in order to increase the effectiveness of the SED institutional model

Effects of Harbor Shape on the Induced Sedimentation; L-Type Basin

Tsunamis in shallow water zones lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), morphological changes (erosion, deposition), dynamic water pressure, as well as resonant oscillations. As a result, ground materials under the tsunami motion move, and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region. Ports and harbors as enclosed basins are the main examples of coastal structures that usually encounter natural hazards with small or huge damaging scales. Morphological changes are one of the important phenomena in the basins under short and long wave attack. Tsunamis as long waves lead to sedimentation in the basins, and therefore, in this study, the relation to the current pattern is noticed to determine sedimentation modes. Accordingly, we present a methodology based on the computation of the instantaneous Rouse number to investigate the tsunami motion and to calculate the respective sedimentation. This study aims to investigate the effects of the incident wave period on an L-type harbor sedimentation with a flat bathymetry using a numerical tool, NAMI DANCE, which solves non-linear shallow water equations. The results showed that the corner points on the bending part of the basin are always the critical points where water surface elevation and current velocity amplify in the exterior and interior corners, respectively

Mucoactive therapy in community-acquired pneumonia

Aim. To study the clinical efficacy of Bronchipret syrup compared with the standard (real-world practice) mucoactive therapy for patients with viral pneumonia. Materials and methods. The observation study included patients 1870 years old who presented with productive cough and were admitted to the pulmonology department with medically confirmed community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The study included 60 patients; Group 1 included 30 patients who received Bronchipret syrup 5.4 mL 3 times a day for up to 1014 days. The other 30 patients with CAP were included in Group 2 (control), in which other mucoactive drugs were used at the discretion of the physician: acetylcysteine in 56.7% of patients, ambroxol in 30%, and bromhexine in 13.3%. The duration of therapy was established by a physician for a period of 1014 days. Results. A significant decrease in sputum secretion was observed during treatment with Bronchipret (Group 1) on average on day 4 (after 4.31.2 days) and after 4.50.9 days in group 2. A decrease in the severity of daytime cough in Group 1 was observed after 4.91.2 days vs. 5.11.1 days in Group 2. The nocturnal cough stopped in 2.71.3 days in Group 1 and 2.60.9 days in Group 2. Conclusion. The data support the use of combined products containing ivy and thyme in patients with CAP and mucolytics

Community-acquired pneumonia: antibiotic therapy approach after the COVID-19 pandemic. A review

Pneumonia is clearly differentiated from other focal inflammatory lung diseases of non-infectious origin. A patient with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) should receive antibacterial drugs no later than 4 hours after the diagnosis. Initial antibacterial therapy in CAP should be based on factors affecting the potential causative agents and the risk of drug-resistant microorganisms. Rational use of amoxicillin in terms of dose and frequency in CAP patients without severe comorbidities and risk factors for PES pathogens, the use of -lactam in combination with a macrolide or moxifloxacin monotherapy in high-risk groups of patients is the most effective strategy of empirical antibacterial therapy
