Get PDFWork stress suffered by employees impacts their health, promotes the development of burnout syndrome, currently, Mexico presents 75% stress in its workforce. The following is a study that aims to measure the levels of job stress and burnout syndrome suffered by employees of accounting firms in Ciudad Juárez. The research has a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and empirical approach. For data collection, a questionnaire with a Likert-type scale was applied electronically to persons of legal age who work in accounting firms, the sample was 187 participants. Descriptive and correlational statistical analyzes were performed. The results show that 118 of the participants suffer an intermediate level of stress, while 168 show an average tendency to suffer from burnout syndrome and only 4 are without risk. The levels of work stress increase in the employees of accounting firms for not understanding the mission and goals of the organization, limited access to the technological equipment with which they carry out their activities, the prestige of their team, the lack of private spaces to work, too much paperwork, a low level of confidence during the development of their activities and little technical help from the work team. In relation to burnout syndrome, employees may have a tendency to develop it due to the impersonal treatment of their clients, in addition there is an emotional fatigue derived from the effort required to work with people
THE MAIN ASPECTS OF THE INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE POULTRY SUBCOMPLEX OF THE REGIONAL AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Get PDFThe problem of developing and increasing the economic efficiency of agricultural production is inextricably linked with the intensification of investment activities. The volumes of attracted investments, optimization of the directions of their use, as well as ensuring the growth of indicators of return on invested capital largely determine the strategic development of the industry, an increase in production volumes, the employment of workers and the social conditions of their lives, the competitiveness of individual subsectors and enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. Poultry farming has a number of advantages over other sectors of agriculture, which allow attracting more investments in its development and improving the technical and technological base. In the context of the development and implementation of innovative technologies in the agro-industrial complex, the lack of investment and their ineffective use largely predetermine the low competitiveness of a significant part of Russian poultry enterprises. Sustainable functioning and strengthening of the resource potential of the industry is possible only on the basis of enhancing the investment attractiveness of domestic poultry farming. Research is needed to improve the entire system of investment management in the poultry industry in order to increase the efficiency of investments, increase the resource potential and competitiveness of this sub-industry in the world market
RUSSIA’S SHADOW ECONOMIES FEATURES

The goal of the research is to determine the shadow economies role in the reproduction process; to identify and think over the specifics of the shadow economic activity in Russia. Methodology. The research methodology is based on the general scientific methods (scientific abstraction, unity of historical and logical, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, methods of comparison and analogy) and special methods of cognition (monetary methods). The research is based on systemic and integrated approaches. The information base is compiled by official statistical data, normative legal acts, works of leading researchers. Results. A retrospective analysis of shadow economic activity in Russian economy is presented. The authors identify the specifics of shadow relations in the Russian economy, appealing to political, institutional, and socio-cultural changes in Russian society. The factors that played a key role in a particular period are identified. The modern period of development is described more precisely. The influence of external shocks on the shadow economy is assessed. Scope of the results. Within process of developing mechanisms to fight shadow economy. Conclusions. With the development and expansion of economic relations in the process of historical development, the scale of hidden activities also increases. Each stage of the historical and socio-economic development has its own unique forms of shadow economy. This period is characterized by digitalization of shadow relations, shift of corruption to the highest level, outflow of capital abroad, and the tightening of penalties for conducting shadow activities
LEXICAL EIDOS FUNCTIONING AT THE LEVEL OF A POLYSEMANTIC WORD
Get PDFThe article demonstrates feasibility of phenomenological analysis based on natural language with the use of the term “lexical eidos”. The presentation of the results of the analysis of multi-meaning word “tree” is predicated on the method of phenomenological reduction to determine their lexical eidos. As follows from the analysis, the attributes of an emotional-sensual nature have been “taken off the table” and the reduction to pure abstraction has been carried out. In comparison with the traditional eidetic analysis, the proposed phenomenological analysis for the definition of lexical eidos is carried out with reference to all the meanings of the lexeme. This provides us with the knowledge of not only what is one meaning in its pure form, but also allows to get the eidetic (pure) formula of the whole word. It is seen that within the limits of the horizon of transcendental experience it is possible to determine polysemous diversity of a word. The logical approach allows us to identify universal features in the semantics of natural languages, to expose the fundamental principles of the formation of linguistic meanings, to reveal the community of facts that seemed to be isolated
PERSPECTIVES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURIST FLOWS BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA
Get PDFThe article analyzes the current state of mutual tourist flows between China and Russia. The economic importance of tourism in the economy of China and Russia, the contribution of tourism to the formation of the country's GDP and the expenses of tourists on a trip are indicated. The dynamics of visits is graphically shown and the economic situation in countries is assessed, which contributes to the development of entries and exits from them. It is determined that the number of tourists from China to Russia is 39% of the total number of visits. Based on the significance, the task of studying the current situation and prospects for further development is determined. Based on the assessment of the analytical situation in the future, using mathematical methods, forecasts are made for 2019 and 2020, respectively, for each country. To improve the calculation accuracy is determined by the confidence interval, which is obtained according to optimistic and pessimistic figures in several flows of travel. Based on the values obtained, conclusions are drawn on the prospects for the development of tourism relations between countries. Particular attention is paid to projects implemented in Russia for Chinese tourists - “Red Route” and “China Friendly”. Further implementation of these projects will create a comfortable environment for Chinese citizens to stay in Russia
RELAÇÕES SOCIAIS QUALIFICADORAS: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA UMA PROBLEMÁTICA NO SETOR DE TURISMO
Get PDFEm que pese o tempo, a problemática sobre a qualificação manteve-se em uma discussão indefinida e inconclusa na Sociologia do Trabalho, por vezes marcada por abordagens insuficientes – e mesmo simplistas - para compreender um fenômeno complexo, multidimensional e polissêmico. No turismo a problemática da qualificação nunca ganhou espaço nos debates acadêmicos, permanecendo mais como retórica no discurso das classes empresariais do setor frente ao poder público e aos trabalhadores. O artigo tece crítica ao entusiasmo com que certas interpretações sobre as mudanças no regime de acumulação capitalista foram acolhidas pelo meio intelectual no turismo, oferecendo contribuições teóricas para a construção de uma problemática no setor, a partir da matriz de inspiração “navilleana” que entende a qualificação como um processo de socialização

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN THE BELGOROD REGION
Get PDFThe problem under study is due to the need to increase cereals production in the Belgorod Region and Russian Federation. The article aims to substantiate the scale of organic farming of grain crops to fulfill the Food Safety Doctrine, produce organic foods and expand the area under autumn wheat cultivated organically. The problem is studied using statistical economic methods, selective detailed analysis and expert evaluation. In the Belgorod Region, cereals are grown by approximately one hundred agricultural enterprises. The share of these crops in the Region is the greatest making about 60% of the cultivated area. The sustainable and efficient development of grain growing needs support of the federal and regional governments. To fulfil it, the Belgorod Region Government approved the program of development of the cultural sector (Resolution No. 331pp(пп) of 8 October 2007). Under the present tough economic conditions, more attention is paid in Russia to a broader implementation of power-saving technologies in crop raising and harvesting their goal being to ensure a competitive production through regulated factors. Such technologies are based on concentration of all the factors including new breeds and varieties, fertilisers, growth regulators, new devices and other production resources ensuring the highest possible payback with quality grain. The article explores the matters of feasibility of grain farming with the organic or biological farming system. The article may be useful to agricultural entities transiting to the organic farming as well as to public authorities planning cereals farming and the measures of governmental support of the agricultural sector

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRADE RELATED ASPECTS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AGREEMENT AND THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY: PROTECTION OF GENETIC RECOURSES
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the relationship between the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights in relation to genetic resources. The authors focus on different points of view on the interaction of these international treaties and concludes that there is a contradiction between their individual provisions, in particular, with respect to the use of genetic resources. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the provisions devoted to Article 27 of the TRIPS Agreement, which establishes the requirements for mandatory patenting of inventions, including microorganisms and macrobiological processes of cultivation of plants or animals. The provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity regarding access to genetic resources and equitable sharing of benefits from their use are analyzed in detail. Specific proposals were made to amend the existing international documents to overcome the current contradiction between the TRIPS Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity, based on the results of the study
