The results revealed that, apart from economic factors, non-economic ones also have important role in commuting.

The research area “Virtual Manufacturing (VM)” is the use of information technology and computer simulation to model real world manufacturing processes for the purpose of analysing and understanding them. As automation technologies such as CAD/CAM have substantially shortened the time required to design products, Virtual Manufacturing will have a similar effect on the manufacturing phase thanks to the modelling, simulation and optimisation of the product and the processes involved in its fabrication. After a description of Virtual Manufacturing (definitions and scope), we present some socio-economic factors of VM and finaly some “hot topics” for the future are proposed.

Abstract Our article is focused on selected socio-economic aspects of health literacy of poor persons in the South Bohemian Region. In addition to determining the level of health literacy, we test its relationship to income and education level and examine how difficult it is for the target group to pay for medicines and visit a physician if needed. We also focus on the causes of such difficulties. The research was conducted in 2016 on a sample of 254 persons entitled to state material poverty benefits in the South Bohemian Region. A structured interview was used, including the administration of the short form of the standardized Health Literacy questionnaire, with several additional questions on the respondents’ socio-economic situation. The data were statistically processed using SPSS. The results showed the respondents had an insufficient level of health literacy, and that a high proportion had difficulty paying for medicines and visiting their physician when required. Health literacy is not related to income but to education level.

The features of the economic aspects of public health policy and possible directions of its modern transformation have been studied. The urgency of public perception of the need to implement reform processes in the healthcare system at the stage of countering the coronavirus pandemic has been substantiated. The main measures for reforming the state policy of the healthcare system in the European countries are analyzed. The main functions of state policy in relation to the processes of economic provision of the healthcare system in developed countries have been investigated. The subject of the study is the economic factors of public-government cooperation in reforming the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research methods. The methodological basis of the study was a systematic approach, which allowed to consider the control system and managed subsystems as a holistic complex of medical and social services to the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure the completeness of the coverage of the subject of research, its conditional structuring on an empirical and theoretical level was carried out, as well as various methods of scientific research were used. At the empirical level, methods of statistics and semantic analysis were used to reveal the specifics of the object of study, as well as to study the impact of socio-economic factors on policy development to combat COVID-19, study the scientific literature on the experience of medical care for patients with COVID-19 in foreign countries. Conclusions. Today, the state of the healthcare system is characterized by a stage of crisis, and the healthcare sector is not a high priority in the state budget policy, and, consequently, the issue of funding is becoming more acute. The transformation of the healthcare system should consist in the organization of the provision of medical care available to the population of the country on the basis of fundamental transformations of financing, with the involvement of financial resources other than state. It is the interaction and close cooperation between the state and business that can contribute to the development of new forms and models of social-government interaction to improve the quality of life in society. Attracting private business, small, medium, and large market participants will be able to bring new solutions to change the socio-economic factors of healthcare.

The pilot intervention project at Leros PIKPA asylum was resisted at all levels of its implementation. Resistance ranged from implicit and passive to explicit and hostile. It took the form of strong rejective attitudes, defensiveness, and repressed emotions of guilt, shame and fear. It was apparent in efforts to delay, obstruct or reverse the progress of the project and undermine the work of intervention team members. It was evident in the interactions of the intervention team with all parties involved in implementing the project: medical professionals and welfare services, the state and local administrations, the central and local administrations of PIKPA staff, the local community, and the asylum residents' families and relatives. It is argued that this resistance to change is due to the interplay of cultural/attitudinal, psychodynamic and socio-economic factors that are not unique to Leros or Greece. The analysis of the psychosocial processes involved in resistance to changing the Leros PIKPA asylum may offer insights to the deinstitutionalisation of custodial settings in general.
