The Impact

Subject. The article addresses the impact of religious confession on wages and the likelihood of unemployment in Russia. Objectives. The aim is to test the hypothesis that religious faith and high church attendance are accompanied by an increase in employment earnings. Methods. Using the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey data, I estimate the Mincer's extended equation with variables that characterize the respondent’s religious commitment. To assess the impact of religious identity and the activity rate of attendance at religious services on the likelihood of unemployment and life satisfaction, I use probit models. Results. The estimates demonstrate that the Russian labor market rewards men with moderate and high degree of religious commitment; their wage growth reaches seventeen percent of the level of non-believers with comparable education and work experience. However, faithful Muslim women are employed in the lowest paid areas. Religious faith and regular church attendance have a positive effect on satisfaction with life (significant for Orthodox Christian women). Conclusions. Positive impact of religious capital on income and employment can be attributed to the development of business qualities that are rewarded in the labor market, the mutual support of religious network participants. Therefore, it possible to consider religious capital, along with educational capital and health capital, as a component of human capital and a factor of socio-economic development.

Intergenerational inequalities in economic security, health and political participation are frequently associated with inequalities in access to social capital. Millennials (those born after 1982) are often regarded as the least civically active generation, suggesting that they have less access to social capital, compared to other generations. Numerous studies have linked the decline of religion with falling social capital, as younger generations are deprived of a valuable source of social interaction; others, however, have claimed the link between the two is spurious because Millennials have developed different ways of interacting with social institutions and each other. Despite various studies exploring links between forms of religious and social capital, the role of religious decline in contributing to the intergenerational inequalities of today remains unclear. This study examines how religious capital is related to social capital for Baby Boomers and Millennials in the UK. Our analysis shows that while lower levels of religious capital are contributing to lower levels of social capital among Millennials, religious activity is also a more effective source of social capital for Millennials than their elders. We discuss possible interpretations of our data, including exploring whether greater religious engagement among Millennials may protect against intergenerational inequality and conflict.

The establishment, staffing and structure and observations made in the first year of the existence of coronary care in an intensive care unit in a general hospital are recorded. Two hundred and twenty eight patients were admitted during the year in whom the diagnosis of myocardial infarction was confirmed. There were 29 deaths in the unit and 14 deaths occurred in the wards of the hospital after discharge from the unit. 49.1 per cent of the patients were admitted within 4 hours of the onset of symptoms and the mean duration of stay in the unit was 86.5 hours. The type of arrhythmia detected in the unit, and the treatment given to the patients both before and after admission to the intensive care unit are described.

How Frequent are Transfers of District and Block-Level Officers ?

Development work is a team effort. The continued presence of the same team thus can be expected to be more fruitful. A high turnover rate of officials at district and lower levels is considered detrimental to development. This has been recognized and reflected in the setting up of norms of minimum duration of stay for various categories of officers dealing with development. But what is the reality on the ground? In this article, Girja Sharan and S Narayanan look into the frequency of transfers of officials over decades in two districts of Rajasthan and quantify the data, concluding that it is statistically certain that no team of Collector, Sub-Divisional Officer, Tehsildar, and Block Development Officer, initially appointed, would work for even a period of two years. Chances are just one in five that the team would last one for year!

Groups of neonates who are usually treated at hospitals that provide specialized pediatric care are not adequately classified by the use of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). Therefore, a set of revised DRGs, pediatric modified DRGs (PM-DRGs), have been developed. Use of PM-DRGs substantially improves the classification of neonates in the following ways: a single pediatric modified major diagnostic category has been defined to include only and all neonates (patients younger than 29 days of age when admitted to the hospital); deaths and transfers of newborns are no longer combined into a single group; birth weight (rather than diagnosis) is used as the primary variable to differentiate categories of neonates; and duration of mechanical ventilation, presence of major problems, and surgery are used to define specific PM-DRGs. A total of 46 PM-DRGs have been developed to replace the 7 DRGs for neonates. Based on a sample of discharged patients from 13 children's hospitals, the overall variance reduction in duration of stay for neonates using PM-DRGs was 38.7% compared with 20.4% for DRGs. Variance reduction for PM-DRGs was 45.9% compared with 16.3% for DRGs when operating cost per case was used instead of duration of stay. After removing outliers at 150 days, the duration of stay variance reduction was 53.3% vs 23.6%, respectively, and the operating cost variance reduction was 58.8% vs 17.8%, respectively.
