The Social

Introduction. The relevance of the research topic is justified by the fact that the application of the latest approaches to the management of social risks that accompany the development of society is becoming quite an urgent matter. Both the development and implementation of social projects make it possible to reduce the likelihood of negative consequences of social problems. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and applied foundations of the functioning of social projects through various sources of funding in the context of the spread of risky social circumstances. Methods. Among the various scientific research methods applied in the paper are analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, observation and comparison. Results. Several scientific approaches of domestic scientists to the essence of social risk have been analyzed. Among them is the approach that puts into the essence of this concept a socially significant circumstance of an objective nature, in the event of which citizens are becoming unable to support themselves and need additional material protection from the state. In the studied definitions of the social project such component as the purpose of its realiza­tion is defined. Social development projects are aimed at implementing social change, such as poverty reduction, improving welfare, building elements of civil society, and so on. The paper supports scientific and expert opinion stating that while developing and imple­menting social projects it is important to justify their feasibility on a number of indicators. Among them are the social effect, which reflects the degree of satisfaction of the population with the quality of life, and social efficiency, which indicates an improvement in the quality of life of people as a result of social investment activities. Different types of social projects are identified depending on what kinds of resources are used to finance them. The domestic practice of implementation of social projects with financial participation of international financial organizations is analyzed. Conclusions. According to the results of the research, it is concluded that, firstly, social risks have become widespread today, secondly, social projects are being developed to reduce their negative impact on society, and thirdly, financial resources from various sources are in­volved for their implementation. Prospects for further research in substantiating applied aspects of the functioning of social projects at the expense of various kinds of financial resources in Ukraine are outlined.

Abstract The district “New Praga” is located on the right-bank of Warsaw in North Praga which is one of the oldest districts of the city. The citizens of this district, where an analyzed building quarter is located, are people with a lower social status than the rest of Warsaw’s population, who benefit from the social assistance (30%); moreover, there are a large number of crimes and high unemployment among young people in this area. These data show how difficult is to modernize this area because the improvement of a construction tissue is not enough to fully help the local community. Financial resources are needed to increase the level of education that allows finding new jobs and improves the quality of life. Afterwards, the modernization of tenements should be taken care for.

Social And Economic Development

The social and economic component of regional development characterizes the processes that take place with the participation of all subjects of a regional economy, which are aimed at achieving economically feasible results while ensuring stable improvement of the level and quality of life of the population. Theoretical and practical issues related to the interconnection of interests, goals and objectives of the social and economic development of systems of different levels are of great importance. It should be noted that the "points of economic growth" in the region are enterprises located in its territory. The potential of their socio-economic development can be revealed through the synergy of interests of the region and enterprises. The mechanism for achieving this can be modeling an impact of enterprises’ investment activity on the sustainable development of the region. The urgency of enhancing enterprises’ investment activity in the region, in particular – in conditions of growing unsustainable market conditions, is obvious, as ensuring the efficiency of their operation and intensification of investment activity is one of the most important functions not only of each enterprise but also the region and the state in general. In industrial regions, the regional government is interested and ready to assist in the enterprises’ upgrading, as it directly faces a lot of problems associated with their low technological level. The use of outdated technologies, physical and moral depreciation of equipment invariably cause a low level of labor productivity, high costs of manufacturing, its low quality, which leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of enterprises in the region. Such enterprises have a negative impact on the environment. All this together affects the level and quality of life of the population, which is a key indicator of the effectiveness of regional authorities. Thus, it can be noted that in modern conditions the emphasis in the transition to investment and innovation development is naturally shifted to the level of regions. Ensuring balanced social and economic development of regions in dynamic conditions of structural and organizational transformations and uncertainty is an crucial, complex and multifaceted problem, for the effective solution of which it is necessary to use effective means of economic assessment of feasibility, effectiveness and risks of socio-economic transformations, as well as appropriate means of assessments and regulations, which should include tools for indicative management.

e20516 Background: To explore socio-demographic features and functional dimensions in patients included in a large Moroccan cohort study. Methods: This is the first Moroccan study which was designed to evaluate the quality of life in cancer patients. It is a prospective multicentric cohort study (the 10 existing centers). Patients with breast, cervical, lung or colorectal cancer were included during 2009. EORTC QLQ C30, BR23, CX24 and LC13 questionnaires were used after a transcultural validation. Results: Over 12 months, 2903 patients were included. Breast cancer was the most common (50.4%). Socio-demographic features: The average age at diagnosis was 52.7 years old. Most of them were women (75%). All of patients were Muslims. 75.1% were married. 60% were illiterate. 20% of patients were professionally active and 59.3% were housewives. 27.2% came from rural towns. The socioeconomic status was 65.8% low and 32.4% intermediate. 71.4% of patients had no social welfare. To get to the oncology centers, 77.8% of patients used public transportation while only 0.6% of total cases came in ambulances. The average distance was 150 kilometers. Psychosocial dimensions: For all types of cancer, functional dimensions were noticeably deteriorated with the stage. The lowest scores were observed in lung cancer, whereas the highest ones were for breast cancer. (Emotional function 62.54 vs. 53.05 professional function and leisure 74.14 vs. 42.22 cognitive activity 83.25 vs 26.93 social activity 86,17 vs. 77.69 p<0.001). The financial problems score was higher in lung cancer (68.34). The future perspective was the most affected dimension in QLQ BR23 questionnaire (score40.51), while in QLQ CX24, the sexual enjoyment was the most impacted dimension (score 52.1). Conclusions: In the Moroccan culture, the social relationships the social relationships offset the negative impact of cancer on other functional dimensions. Social activity scores were the less affected. Financial issues are the major concern, resulting in a negative impact on the quality of life of our patients. Finally, over a period of one year, the scores of reported dimensions were significantly improved by the cancer treatment.

The Impact

Sociodental indicators have been widely used in epidemiological research related to oral health, as they add the dimension of the impact of oral health on the quality of life of individuals and populations. Various studies have been done in order to validate new instruments to assess these subjective perceptions, however, the association between social parameters and impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) has not been systematically studied, thus there is still doubt as to the role of the main social variables as OHRQoL impact modulators. This study aims to systematically review the literature in order to evidence the association between six social parameters and OHRQoL. Based on six exclusion criteria, the literature search revealed 40 eligible publications for analyses. The frequency of expected (positive) association between the social parameters and OHRQoL was greater than the non-expected (negative) associations for the six parameters. Conclusions: The social conditions most clearly associated with the perception of negative impact on OHRQoL were: women, with poor education and low income, immigrants or people belonging to minority ethnic groups.

PurposeThe purpose of the research is to determine the social consequences of economic globalization based on experience of developed and developing countries and to determine the perspectives of optimization of this process through regulation.Design/methodology/approachThe research method is correlation analysis, for it allows determining dependencies between the indicators without requirements to their close mutual dependence. The research objects are top ten developed and top ten developing countries as to the KOF globalization index in 2019.FindingsIt is determined that, contrary to high economic risks, social risks of globalization are very low. Instead of this, in the course of globalization the social advantages increase – they are expressed in the form of harmonization of the labor market, development of digital society and increase of population's quality of life – in particular, provision of balance of the global society by leveling the social disproportions between developed and developing countries. It is substantiated that consequences that stimulate the increase of population's quality of life in developing countries are more expressed than in developed countries. This means that developing countries, which are traditionally more inclined to limiting the influence of globalization on them due to economic reasons, have to reconsider their foreign economic policy and include the measures on stimulation of globalization in the interests of social development. Other than that, the differences in consequences for developed and developing countries are minimal. There is no imbalance of consequences that is peculiar for the economic sphere, in which the main advantages are obtained by developed countries, and developing countries bear most of the costs. From the social point of view, globalization could be characterized as a positive phenomenon of modern times.Originality/valueThe offered authors' recommendations will allow optimizing the influence of globalization on the social environment in developed and developing countries and ensuring usage of economic globalization as a mechanism of implementation of the global goals in the sphere of sustainable development.

Quality of life and satisfaction with life as tightly interconnected concepts have become of much importance in the urbanism era. No doubt, it is one of the most important goals of every human society to enhance a citizen’s quality of life and to increase their satisfaction with life. However, there are many signs which demonstrate the low level of life satisfaction of Iranian citizens especially among the youth. Thus, considering the temporal concept of life satisfaction, this research aims to make a futures study in this field. Therefore, using a mixed model and employing research methods from futures studies, life satisfaction among the students of the University of Tehran were measured and their views on this subject investigated. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analysed together in order to test the hypotheses and to address the research questions on the youth discontentment with quality of life. Findings showed that the level of life satisfaction among students is relatively low and their image of the future is not positive and not optimistic. These views were elicited and discussed in the social, economic, political, environmental and technological perspectives. Keywords:  futures studies, quality of life, satisfaction with life, youth

Studies have shown that children and adolescents with autism and their relatives present a high level of stress and more family problems, impacting parents’ and caregivers’ quality of life (QoL). Despite studies on this subject, there is no specific questionnaire to evaluate QoL in parents or caregivers of children and adolescents with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in Brazil. Therefore, this study’s primary purpose was to develop and validate a specific questionnaire to evaluate QoL in these individuals. The study was performed using the following steps: development of the ASD Parent/caregiver QoL questionnaire (autistic spectrum disorder parent/caregiver quality of life—ASDPC-QoL), subjective evaluation, validation of the questionnaire by the Delphi method, assessment of internal consistency, responsiveness, and reliability of the ASLPC-QoL, and administration of the questionnaire to 881 Brazilian ASD caregivers or parents. ASDPC-QoL comprises 28 questions divided into four domains (social, concerns, physical and mental health) with good psychometric properties (reproducibility, reliability, internal consistency, responsiveness, and validity). Our data showed that worries and physical health were the domains with the lowest scores in ASDPCA-QoL. ASDPCA-QoL did not differ among gender and age of child considering the total and all domains. Older participants (≥41 y/o) presented the best scores for social and worries domains but did not differ in other domains and the total. Parents or caregivers of ASD children diagnosed for more than three years have better mental and physical health domains than those recently diagnosed (up to 1 year) but did not differ in the total and other domains. Individuals with a partner and with the highest educational level present the best score for the social domain. Employed individuals showed better scores than unemployed ones for all domains and the total, except for worries, which did not differ. It also occurred comparing the individuals that do not use antidepressants and the ones that use them. Assessing and better understanding the QoL of caregivers is highly relevant. By understanding the social, worries, physical, and emotional health domains of caregivers, it is possible to track harmful aspects, prevent and treat pathologies, in addition to assisting in the implementation of effective public policies.
