Socioeconomic processes in the CIS countries

© MCSER-Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. Proposed instruments used to measure inequality in living standards in five CIS countries: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. Compared countries in the aggregate represent most of the economic and human potential of community; In addition, a number of them are consolidated with each other with deeper forms of integration. Currently differentiation of incomes of the population estimated by the traditional factors (index- numbers): funds and Gini, which is determined by socioeconomic inequality

Evaluation of food security in a region on the basis of performance in the field of production (For example, the volga federal district)

Food security in a region is not only an important area of research, but also of public policy. It is a powerful geopolitical factor and the main instrument for achieving sustainable socio-economic processes in a region. The authors proposed analysis technique which allows comprehensively to assess the level of food security in a region as a whole and its constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, to trace the dynamics of change for a number of periods relatively with similar indicators in the country, to identify strengths and weaknesses of a region and its subjects in order to improve management efficiency

Food security at the regional level

As a rule, in the periods of positive dynamics of economic development, the attitudes toward non-interference of the state in economic processes were dominant and when the next phase came, the recession of production, especially with signs of stagflation, they were replaced by diametrically opposed views that proved the need for active state intervention in the processes of sustainable reproduction of the economy. All over the world, states influence the agro-food production complex, and agricultural products and food market. However, the ways and tools of such influence depend on the goals to be achieved through such regulation. World experience in the development of market economy proves that as a result of specific features, agriculture and the food market are not self-regulating systems. This is due primarily to the conservatism and inertia of agriculture as a production system, as well as low elasticity of demand for agricultural products and high elasticity of prices for it. The failure of the market mechanism to direct the development of economic entities of different industries and regions to one common goal calls for state intervention in all spheres of the economy the most important of which is agriculture

Food, its production, distribution, exchange and consumption are an important part of the functioning of the global economic system, occupy a special place in the priorities of world politics. In today’s world, agriculture remains an important source of income, employment and foreign trade. Even in countries in which the share of agriculture in GDP is small, consider this sector of the economy is important and pay him much attention

Repetition in the structure of Tatar fairytale texts (The device of stringing in chain-type structures)

The paper focuses on the analysis of the literary device of repetition, in particular its type called stringing, which manifests itself in a remarkable way in chain-type structures of Tatar fairytale texts. The research subject is meaningful units (links) of a folklore fairytale text and consistent connections between them, which perform the function of organizing a speech act. The paper contains analysis of a considerable body of Tatar fairytales, in which the device of stringing manifests itself in a specific way, besides, an attempt to describe varieties of this type of repetition with consideration of different levels of text research has been made

Necessity and perspectives of formation of the state of food security

In the periods of positive dynamics of economic development it has usually dominated the attitudes towards the state non-interference in the economic processes, and upon occurrence of the next phase - the recession of production, particularly with the signs of stagflation, they have been replaced by the diametrically opposing views, which have tried to prove the need for the state active interference in the processes of sustainable economic reproduction. In the whole the states affect the agri-food complex, the market of agricultural products and the food supplies. However, the methods and tools of this influence depend on the purpose to be achieved with such a regulation. The world experience of development of market economy shows that the agriculture and the market of agricultural products are not the self-regulating systems due to the specific characteristics. It is explained primarily by the conservatism and inertia of agriculture as a production system, as well as a low elasticity of demand for the agricultural products and high price elasticity to them. The inability of market mechanism to direct the development of economic entities of different industries and regions into one common goal, calls for the state intervention in all spheres of the economy, one of the most important of which is the agriculture

The Opportunity of Using Diode Laser with the Length of 1940 nm in the Treatment of Hemorrhoids

Aim: to improve the results of treatment of patients with hemorrhoidal disease of the 2nd and 3rd stages by using a diode laser with a wavelength of 1940 nm.Materials and methods. The study included 28 patients with hemorrhoids of the second or third stage. A new treatment method based on the use of a diode laser with a wavelength of 1940 nm was applied to all patients. This technique (laser hemorrhoidoplasty) provides for the thermal effect of laser radiation on the cavernous tissue of the internal hemorrhoid node and the terminal branches of the upper rectal artery. The intensity of postoperative pain syndrome was assessed and the clinical symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease manifestations were studied before and after surgery. To study the effectiveness of the proposed method and to assess the depth of thermal exposure to laser radiation, transrectal ultrasound with Dopplerography and pathomorphological examination were performed. The functional state of the rectal locking apparatus before surgery and in the postoperative period was assessed using sphincterometry. The quality of life of patients who underwent laser hemorrhoidoplasty was studied according to the SF 36 questionnaire.Results. Surgical intervention was performed under both local and spinal anesthesia. Intraoperative complications in the form of hemorrhoidal node bleeding were noted in 3 patients. In the early postoperative period, inflammatory edema of external hemorrhoids was diagnosed in 4 patients. The intensity of the pain syndrome was assessed on the VAS scale and by day 7 in 93 % of patients it did not exceed 1 point. All 28 patients were followed up within 1 to 6 months after the operation. All had no complaints characteristic of hemorrhoidal disease, no relapse of the disease was detected in any observation. Transrectal ultrasound with Dopplerography was performed, which made it possible to diagnose a 2–3-fold decrease in blood flow along the terminal branches of the upper rectal artery, and internal hemorrhoids determined earlier, before surgery, were not visualized already 1 month after surgery. According to sphincterometry, no violations of anal retention function were detected in all 28 patients.Conclusion. Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids of the 2nd and 3rd stages with the use of a diode laser with a wavelength of 1940 nm. with proper technical performance and the choice of optimal energy, it allows to achieve a good clinical effect. The proposed method of intervention ensures the absence of a pronounced pain syndrome, which does not lead to a significant decrease in the quality of life already in the early postoperative period and allows to shorten the period of labor rehabilitation. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a highly effective method of treating hemorrhoids at stages 2 and 3 of the disease and opens up the possibility of treatment on an outpatient basis
