Half of the summer is behind us, and the admission campaign is in full swing. We have gathered useful materials for applicants on our channel on Zen. Meanwhile, our experts in the media analyze in-demand professions, support measures for enterprises, and the state of the economy, explain why it is worth visiting offline stores and why the popularity of online orders is growing, calculate expenses on hidden taxes and the consumer basket, answer how abnormal heat will affect European countries, and warn about the dangers of converting a car from gasoline to gas.
— On the economic losses of Europe due to abnormal heat said the head of the Department of State and Municipal Management, Sergey Chuev. The expert emphasized that the heat will affect both the well-being of Europeans and the European economy as a whole. In addition, the weather observed in these months in Europe will take away several percent of GDP.
— Expansion of support measures for small and medium manufacturing enterprises commented Galina Sorokina, director of the Institute of Economics and Finance. The professor emphasized that the most effective measures will be the allocation of targeted funds, concessional leasing for production modernization, and shifting the focus of state support from OKVED codes to actual production.
— What employees do companies need in the era of AI, explained Professor of the Department of Human Resource Management Valeriya Konovalova. She noted that today, competencies such as cloud literacy and understanding of digital platforms, critical thinking, and the ability to articulate problems are necessary in all fields.
— How much Russians spend on hidden taxes, answered associate professor of the Department of Institutional Economics Svetlana Sazanova. According to the expert’s calculations, from 48,600 to 75,450 rubles are spent monthly on transportation costs, food, nanny services, and maintaining a business image.
— How the rise in oil prices will affect the Russian economy, said Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements Maxim Chirkov. The expert noted that the rise in global oil prices will have a positive effect on the Russian economy, increase the revenues of oil and gas companies, and reduce the likelihood of sanctions being imposed.
— Consequences of the abnormal heat in Europe Maxim Chirkov named it. He suggested that the abnormal heat in Europe will lead to increased consumption of expensive energy and reduced labor productivity.
— Digitalization of services and the popularity of online shopping commented Associate Professor of the Department of Advertising and Public Relations Dmitry Dolgopolov. He noted that by doing this, people choose speed, the exclusion of the human factor and the need for communication, but as a result, social connections weaken and people grow further apart from each other.
— Why go to an offline store answered Associate Professor of the Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Sima Musatova. She admitted that she does this either when it is necessary to get a specialist’s opinion or for the pleasant elements of service (a cup of coffee, beautiful packaging).
— How much does the consumer basket cost, calculated by Associate Professor of the Department of Statistics Tatyana Pershina. “This is 7,762.2 rubles on average. The most expensive consumer basket is in Chukotka — 20,432.3 rubles, the lowest in the Saratov region and Mordovia — 6,475.7 rubles and 6,280.6 rubles.”
— Why converting a car from gasoline to gas is dangerous answered Associate Professor of the Department of Logistics and Transport-Technological Systems at GUE Artem Merenkov. He reminded that gas burns at a higher temperature, which causes valves to experience heavy thermal stress; modern engines with aluminum cylinder head blocks are especially vulnerable to high temperatures.
— Why the ‘gasoline issue’ did not drive Russians to electric car showrooms explained Artem Merenkov. The expert noted that it is worth distinguishing between a momentary surge and long-term work. For now, we are seeing precisely a reaction to the market situation.
— What is an exclusive right, explained Professor of the Department of Public Law and Legal Support of Management Natalia Kovaleva. The lawyer reminded that “an exclusive right subject to registration and unregistered practically deprives its owner of the opportunity to exercise legal protection.”
— On political insinuations at the FIFA World Cup Professor of the Department of State and Municipal Administration, Viktor Titov, shared his opinion. He noted that the World Cup will be remembered by most fans for three things – a lack of drama, an inconclusive stretched format, and excessive politicization.
— On the ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries said Professor Viktor Titov of the State University of Management. The expert noted that these strikes turned out to be painful not only for the industrial sector but also for tens of millions of Russian citizens.
