Introduction. The family forms the habitus of the child's health-preserving behavior: the presence or absence of bad habits, involvement in sports, food preferences, and the attitude to disease prevention. The article, based on the conducted research, identifies the dependence of various parameters of the health of school-age children on the socio-biological well-being of the family, its lifestyle, life support conditions that contribute to the implementation of family health-preserving practices. Materials and Methods. The research materials used were the data from a survey conducted in 2019 by the Center for Family and Demography Center of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences among parents of students of lyceums, grammar schools, and general education schools, including those with in-depth study of specific subjects (city of Kazan, Arsk and Chistopol municipal districts of the Republic of Tatarstan). The total population of parents of students was 433,706 people, the selection was 325 people. The value, social activity, and generation approaches within the sociological discourse on health issues are aimed at identifying the social determinants of various parameters of adolescent health and their health preservation habitus. Results. The study has identified a number of factors that determine the lifestyle of modern schoolchildren and have a negative impact on their health in the context of significant academic loads, intensification of the educational process, and involvement in intense extra-curricular activities: non-compliance with age regulations of the daily routine; low motor activity; unsatisfactory organization and deterioration of the quality of nutrition in the family; habitus of parents’ behavior, not focused on health preservation. Discussion and Conclusion. The conducted research provides scientific substantiation of and emphasizes the need for measures aimed at increasing physical activity and healthy nutrition of both younger and older schoolchildren in the context of the demographic crisis. Practical application of the conclusions drawn in this study involves formulation of proposals for improving the effectiveness of managerial decisions taken by ministries and departments of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The object of the research is 1988–1996 propaganda documents of the all-Tatar public center, Committee "Sovereignty,” and Tatar party of national independence “Ittifak” stored in the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan. The subject of the research is the texts’ intentional structure, peculiarities of categorical apparatus, system of images, metaphors and other linguistic means and ways of constructing historical memory in order to influence the political consciousness of the electorate. The authors use methods of content and intent analysis. The predominance of verbs in most texts allows the authors to study the structure of intentional blocks of documents regarding the categories of “we,” “they,” “third party,” and “situation” (in temporal categories of past, present, and future). Interpretation of the intent analysis results is confirmed by the results of content analysis of the documents sample. The quantitative ratio of descriptors reveals the key designations of the categories “we” – “they.” There is a predominance of political metaphorical models of “way,” “confrontation,” “family.” The study of evaluative judgments on the future “way” of the Republic enables to reveal a shift in using methods of argumentation from statements of “fair federalism,” “union status” in the memoranda and open letters of 1989 to “sovereign state” in 1990–1996. National associations broadcast historical traumas by using metaphors for struggling with “second-class status” of the Republic within the USSR, historical continuity of statehood of Tatarstan, Volga Bulgaria, Golden Horde, Kazan khanate, need to revive the Tatar statehood. The use of non-preferential descriptors serve the intention of shifting “historical responsibility” for the loss of statehood to the federal center (as successor of the Russian Empire) and of justifying the policy of sovereignty of Tatarstan.
Purpose: to determine the economic factors that steadily influenced reproductive trends in the Volga Federal District in 2000-2020, their regional differentiation. The hypothesis of the study: the dynamics of the birth rate is predetermined, among other things, by economic factors (of a general economic nature and economic activity of households). With a positive change in the economic well-being of the population and households, stable prerequisites are formed for the growth of the birth rate in the Volga Federal District.Methods: the correlation and regression analysis of the total fertility rate and economic predictors for 2000-2020 of the Volga Federal District regions was used. Econometric prerequisites for determining reproductive trends are formed based on changes in macro- and microeconomic indicators of the economic well-being of the region and individual households.Results: regional differences in the influence of economic factors on fertility are revealed: direct linear dependence on the volume of investments per capita and the level of employment; inverse dependence on the level of poverty and the share of household spending on food (except for the Republic of Bashkortostan). When assessing the inverse linear dependence on the indexation of prices for primary housing, the coefficient of determination is insufficient (except for the Udmurt Republic), as in the case of assessing the impact of the unemployment rate (the factor is insignificant for the Republic of Bashkortostan, Kirov Region, Perm Krai). The growth and decrease in monthly consumer spending lead to a decrease in the birth rate.Conclusions and Relevance: one-factor regression analysis showed that in the Volga Federal District, the formation of reproductive trends is negatively affected by an increase in the share of spending on essential goods. Multivariate regression analysis revealed a correlation of fertility rates with a steady increase in the level of employment. The presented approach can be used to describe the prerequisites for the formation of stable reproductive trends in other districts and regions of Russia for the implementation of preventive measures of the demographic policy of the state in order to maintain the stability and positive development of the demographic situation, prognostic estimates of trends of deviation from the positive trend.
