The significant resource potential of the Arctic has attracted the attention of its adjacent countries and extra-regional states. The mineral and raw material base of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) comprises a wide range of minerals. However, due to its hydrocarbon reserves, the Arctic is considered to be the most important geopolitical and geo-economic macro-region for Russia. A significant portion of the Arctic hydrocarbons (about 19%) is concentrated in the territory of Russia’s shelf. The extraction of Arctic marine oil and gas resources and ensuring the sustainability of the Russian energy complex depend significantly on the level of Arctic development. Thus, the pace and quality of the development of AZRF are strategically important to ensure the national interests of the country. It has been proven that the implementation of the state program for AZRF development and strategic plans of the largest companies operating in the region consolidate the raw material nature of AZRF development. Rent becomes the main form of income. This article addresses the main directions of the region’s development and the factors that prevent a high level of industrialization, which increase attention to the withdrawal and redistribution of rental income. The article considers the Russian and foreign experiences of withdrawal and redistribution of oil and gas rental income, and analyzes the level of socio-economic development of AZRF. The authors suggest a methodology for assessing the impact of a country’s area and population size on the ability to achieve a high income due to hydrocarbons. The authors also explain the principles of rental income redistribution in the region as a basis for improving the level of AZRF’s socio-economic development and as a condition for transition from the “colonial model” of development to the “sustainable development” model. The study results can be used to elaborate a mechanism for rental income redistribution in AZRF and state programs for the region’s development.

Coal Mines in Vietnam: Geological Conditions and Their Influence on Production Sustainability Indicators

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The high growth rate that the Vietnamese economy has been demonstrating in recent years largely depends on the use of the country’s fossil fuel reserves, which form the foundation of its fuel and energy sector. The country will have to rely on coal as one of the key energy sources for a long time in order to meet its energy needs. Since coal has been mined in Vietnam for a long time, the country is now facing such challenges as the depletion of readily available reserves and an increase in the share of coal mined underground in difficult geological conditions. These circumstances may affect the sustainability of the coal industry as a whole. The purpose of the study is to develop a method for analyzing the influence of geological conditions on production sustainability indicators at coal mines operated by Vinacomin, a state-owned corporation. Research methods include substantiating and choosing objects and indicators reflecting production sustainability at coal mines, formalizing the qualitative characteristics of geological conditions, and revealing the relationship between the complexity of geological conditions and production sustainability indicators. As a result of the analysis, the most problematic mines and their operations were identified. They should be given priority attention when developing measures and corporate programs aimed at fostering the sustainability of coal mines. The results of the study provide new knowledge on the coal industry in Vietnam and help to develop methods for assessing corporate sustainability.

“…This can also provide the worker's safety, increase the worker's productivity, and give job satisfaction and the worker's physical and mental well-being [12]. The mining company in Russia started to apply ergonomics to enhance the worker's safety as human error has been a key factor in coal industrial accidents [13]. A study on ergonomics intervention by Esmaeilzadeh and associates [14] showed that after over 6 months of ergonomics intervention, the intensity, duration, and frequency of work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (WUEMSDs) symptoms among computer workers decreased significantly.…”

The workers in UD Jaya Group, a small flour producer located in Klaten District, Central Java, Indonesia, complained of having muscle pain or musculoskeletal disorders in the calf, knee, wrist, arm, waist, shoulder, back, and neck because there were variety of activities that required the workers to perform non-ergonomic work postures. This pain resulted in a decrease of work productivity, potentially caused work accidents, and affected the health of the workers. The purpose of the research is to analyze the work postures and to reduce musculoskeletal disorders caused by the non-ergonomic work postures among UDJaya Group workers. In achieving the purpose, a post-work analysis was performed on the work postures and the manual handling processes by using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method and the Manual Activity Chart (MAC) Tool. Based on the REBA assessment on 18 work activities, there was 1 working activity that was classified as an action level 1, 15 working activities were classified as the action level 2, and 2 working activities were classified as the action level 3. Based on the MAC Tool assessment on 11 work activities, 10 working activities were classified as the action level 2 and 1 working activity was classified as the action level 4. The recommendations were to reduce the weight of the load, increase the number of lamps and provide aiding tools.
