Biochemical composition of scab-immune apple fruits varieties (Malus domestica B.) as a valuable component of healthy dietary
No full textThe article presents an analysis of the biochemical composition of apple varieties (Malus domestica B.) with immunity to scab. Domestic and foreign apple varieties are used as research objects. Variability in fruits in the content of ascorbic acid (AA), soluble solids (SDS), P-active compounds, and titratable acids was noted. The high content of AA is noted in Uspenskoe, Skala, Bylina, Flagman, Yubilyar apple varieties. Long-term studies have revealed intervarietal differences in biochemical composition and variation of this trait over the years in apples. Varieties with valuable biochemical composition and immunity to scab can be used in organic food production, as well as in further breeding work to improve the quality of fruits
Evaluation of Strategies of Key Categories of Actors in the Functioning of the Free Port of Vladivostok and Other Development Programs of the Far East Based on the Determination of the Value of Expected Future Losses and Acquisitions
No full textInternationalization of the world trade and severe competition for the position in global value chains stimulate countries all over the world to create special economic zones (SEZ). For the Russian Far East, the SEZ are the major element of fostering industrial growth and overall economic development. There are Free Port of Vladivostok, Territories of Advanced Economic Development and other development programs created to ensure inflow of investors into the economy of the macro-region. The state offers both tax deductions for up to 10 years and direct budget expenditures for creating infrastructure for the future project sites. Natural consequence of that is the problem of very different financial efficiency of potential projects and dire need to sort or filter those projects that will, probably, be mutually beneficial both for investor and for the state budget from those that, again probably, will benefit only one party or even fail for both. We started from applying standard mechanisms of project evaluation, based on sum of the discounted cash flows comparing to discounted investments, and then enrich it with instruments of working with probable events to make it more flexible. Then based on real-options approach, we show an anticipated cash-flow as the representation of project’s efficiency and create strategy matrix for private and public parties of the cooperation

No full textThe research objective represented in the article was conducting an analysis of long-term transformation of the Russian economy, its manifestations and consequences, a detection of transformations of innovative development and its influence on quality of life of the population. The tasks which are, also, solved in the report: an analysis of the production structure of Russian gross domestic product in terms of the ration of the industries, types of activities in the field of the material production and service sector in an economy. The article highlights the key factors fuelling problems of the quality of life in the terms of an innovative development, the influence of cyclical economic development on structural transformations and quality of life is revealed. The methodological basis for studying the relationship between the innovative development of regions and the quality of life, as well as the practical application of the results obtained, was the economics of quality. The trend of lagging behind in the development of the knowledge economy, the annual decrease in domestic spending on research and development in the Russian economy, may contribute to the strengthening of regional differentiation, further increasing the social stratification of the population due to the fall in real incomes. The application of the methodological principles of the economics of quality makes it possible to use such mechanism for assessing the region’s quality of life of the population, which allows not only to measure and standardize the quality of life indicator, but also to effectively use it for strategic management purposes

Career guidance as a form of self-determination and life self-realization of the youth
No full textProfessional self-determination of young people is a controversial process complicated by the need to choose the field of activity and determine their place in life. Taking into account the complex influence of all factors on the professional orientation of young people is considered a reliable guarantee of the young person's choice of profession as part of life self-determination. However, it cannot be assumed that this process does not need management and practical support, and it can be carried out in a self-adjusting way. In addition, when choosing a profession, young people often rely on external attributes (publicity, showiness, prestige of the profession within the immediate circles) which gives rise to a corresponding interest in its development. Sometimes they do not take into account their correspondence to the requirements of the particular professional field: personal traits representing the importance of a professional, intellectual level of development, or the physiological capabilities necessary for the implementation of this professional activity. Increased attention is aimed at development of the natural instincts of the younger generation, as well as their professional formation, that is, on organizing assistance to young people in the choice of employment. At the same time, the choice should be made not only with a focus on the needs and opportunities of young people themselves, but also taking into account the labor market situation in the conditions of continuous updating of the list of popular professions. Willingness to respond quickly to market demands is the most approved approach to choosing a profession in modern conditions. Timely and qualified assistance in professional orientation would help young people meet the highest need: the need for self-realization
Reactive and Proactive Coping Behaviors in Russian First-Year Students: Diagnostics and Development Opportunities
No full textThe relevance of the study is determined by the role of the adaptation processes of first-year students to the university environment, which is the most important (preliminary) stage for: (a) their successful overcoming of various learning difficulties; (b) comfortable and constructive interaction with teachers and other students; and (c) search and application of adaptive behavior strategies due to new living conditions. The development of proactive coping is a key factor in the students’ efficient learning activity because it represents a “platform” for their personal growth. The aim of the study is to determine the possibilities of diagnostics and development of reactive and proactive coping behavior in first-year students. The study involved 272 first-year students at Pacific National University (including 136 students of an experimental group who sought help from the University Psychology Center in 2019 and 136 first-year volunteer students as a control group). The following methods were used for diagnostics: Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI) , adapted by E.P. Belinskaya et al., Ways of Coping Questionnaire by R. Lazarus, adapted by T.L. Kryukova et al., Hardiness Survey by Salvatore Maddi adapted by D.A. Leontyev and E.I. Rasskazova, Time Perspective Inventory (TPI) by Ph.Ge. Zimbardo, adapted by A. Syrtsova et al. and Reflexivity Diagnostics Method by A.V. Karpov. As a result, the first-year students showed low levels of developed reactive and proactive coping, high levels of social and emotional support as well as escape-avoidance, average levels of strategic planning and search for informational support, and a reduced level of reflective, predictive resource. It is shown that the search for social, emotional and informational support is the basis for constructing adaptive behavior strategies. It is confirmed that self-control and the category of the future are moderating for all types of proactive coping. The conducted cluster analysis made it possible to identify three profiles, which differ in the levels and content of reactive and proactive behavior (non-adaptive, reactive and active with a tendency to proactive). Repeated measurements show that individual and group forms of psychological intervention cause changes in the indicators of reactive-proactive coping behavior, which can be regarded as a positive dynamics in the development of behavior in students of the experimental group. Finally, a conclusion was formulated about the possibilities of using various forms of psychological support (individual counseling, trainings, and self-help groups) in optimizing the first-year students’ proactive coping behavior

Эмоциональный дистресс и субъективно значимые трудности у подростков с онкологическими и онкогематологическими заболеваниями, проходящих химиотерапию, и их матерей
No full textРабота направлена на изучение эмоционального дистресса, потребностей в информировании о заболевании, лечении и психологической помощи у подростков, проходящих стационарное лечение онкологических и онкогематологических заболеваний. Представлены материалы исследования на выборке пациентов в возрасте 12—18 лет (N=28, 12 мальчиков, 16 девочек) и их матерей. Использовались «Шкалы дистресса» для детей 7—17 лет и для родителей с модифицированными «Проблемными листами», анкеты для врачей отделения химиотерапии. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о выраженности эмоционального дистресса, субъективно значимых трудностей, наличии потребности в дополнительном ме дицинском информировании и психологической помощи у пациентов и родителей. Клинически значимый дистресс выявлен у 62,8% подростков и у 64,4% матерей. Не выявлено связи между сообщениями о потребности в информировании, психологической помощи и общим баллом дистресса ни у подростков, ни у их матерей. Таким образом, при оценке потребности подростка в информировании и психологической помощи целесообразно ориентироваться не на общий балл дистресса у подростков, а на представленность у них трудностей, связанных с лечением, а также на мнение самого подростка о наличии данных потребностей. Включение в «Проблемные листы» «Шкал дистресса» тех субъективно значимых трудностей, которые отражают возрастно-психологические особенности пациентов и специфику вида лечения, а также внесение прямых вопросов о потребностях в информировании и психологической помощи расширяет возможности выявления нуждающихся в психологическом сопровождении подростков, проходящих стационарно химиотерапию, и способствует их сотрудничеству с мультидисциплинарной командой специалистов клиники
