INTEGRATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF LIFE EXTENSION INTO THE SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE STATE

INTEGRATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF LIFE EXTENSION INTO THE SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE STATE

Annotation. The article reviews the aspects of economic feasibility of the development of life extension technologies and suggests the criteria for calculating the economic efficiency and longevity of the environment for the formation of proposals for the emergence and expansion of market technology of life extension strategies. It was determined that the value of life extension technologies affects the social sphere under surplus of indirect type and direct understanding of the social capital of an individual. We used the methods of mathematical statistics, economic analysis, evaluation factor and empirical dialectical experience. The novelty of the research is the use of international methodology as the basis for the implementation of research in the Russian Federation and the prospects for the internationalization of the company.

Keywords: technological environment, biological balance, life extension, quality level, structural features and social factor.

The relevance of research. The assertion of ability to develop over a long period of life is the central idea of economic development of any state. With the emergence of the technology of automation of processes and the development of research in microbiology, as well as in neuropropaedeutics, it becomes clear that the person also has a strong tendency to develop throughout their life. It is necessary to clarify that the position of the authors in the article of the designated category is not based on philosophical views on the ways of development of the state and society as a whole from pessimistic (Sartre, Camus) to the utopian (E. Zamyatin, N.A. Berdyaev , L. Gumilyov and partially N. Roerich), but also onthe conditionally balanced concept of social immortality by V.I. Vernadsky, N.N. Moiseev, N.F. Reimers and A.I. Subbeto.

The social form of development and human evolution began to position human beings as unique personalities which are capable of single-handedly changing every component of society. The consequence of this view in the 1990s became the emergence of individual programs of development of attitudes, which are shown in comparison by Sudheer Patri et al (2016). Life extension and technologization of this issue remains in itself a philosophical concept. We create an innovative view at such activities, combining forms and methods of positioning the society as a set of people, each of which is a self-contained unit. It allows to fully comply with the latest research tendencies in the field of biological and optional sciences. Economically, in this case, we now consider self-motivation of an individual as the driving force of economic development of the studied industry.

Given the religious characteristics of each person, the belief in the possibility of afterlife is quite differentiated, so we consider the desire to prolong the life a basic postulate. Thus, economic growth in this industry has a huge potential. If you go into a philosophical concept, then potentially the person is ready to give everything they have to prolong and preserve their life. The economic benefits of a healthy person are incredible. The mentioned basis of our study allows to completely isolate an individual from their interests, and then the interests of a state. Therefore, in the given paradigm of the potential income will be divided into two stages, namely the money of private investors and clients, and the public health funds. If we compare the expenses for health care as a percentage of indicators of well-off citizens, then empirically without refined calculations we have a potential market of private investors (the Forbes top-1000 list) of about $1.2 trillion and $15.2 billion in case of participation of the state.

Research methods. The authors applied the methods of economic analysis for the calculation of social capital effect and mapping method based on empirical analysis of spatial data, as well as forward-factor analysis in order to calculate the cost of health care in the Russian Federation.

Literature review. Analysis of published data was conducted in chronotopic order, which differs from similar chronological order by research and review of current publications of not more than a year range. The overview showed that in the regional context, the development of technological description of methods of life extension refers either to the philosophical and futurological section (CIS regions, Central Europe, Southeast Europe and Northeast Europe) in context of improving the overall standard of living, as well as stimulating the integration of the social optimum in the framework of sustainable development (South Asia, Central Asia, China and South-East Asia) and the practical ways to implement the aforesaid fragments with technological provision map (US, Canada, Australia and Japan). Analysis of journals and publication activity based on SCImago Journal & Country Rank rankings in Q1 and Q2 categories showed an active development of the subject in the context of the United States and Japan region (78% of all publications on this subject).

The presentation of the main research material. Determining the direction of the leading research interest in the technological environment of life extension occurred in the aspect of the consideration of monographs and periodicals as of January to February 2016. Given that the socioeconomic conditions allow to speak only of short-term forecasting, most of economic scenarios of 2014 and 2015 years, with estimated values on the 2015 to 2020 years are not representative.

An indirect source of introduction of innovative technologies into life may be the creation of an environment around it. Such indirect aspect, showing the importance of the development is implemented in evaluation system both quantitative and qualitative, based on building the capacity of the territory and encouraging to its building and renovation. This is offered as a basis for life[1] in the monographic study "LEED v4 Practices, Certification, and Accreditation Handbook, Second Edition". Given that this publication provides comparative characteristics between the system of evaluation of ecological construction and evaluation respectively BREAM and LEED in favor of the latter, and it is based on North American studies, it becomes clear where such technologies have theoretical application factor.

The authors of the "Social Advantage and Disadvantage" digest of articles formed the sociostructural basis for the introduction of common technologies forming an integrated environment2[2]. This parameter indicates the precise possibility of the development of industrial tools for implementing of the immortological technologies. It is worth noting that the concept of immortology is used exclusively in the Russian segment and the forecast of a similar situation is not always terminologically conducive to the establishment of the conceptual apparatus. We believe the structure called "technological overcome of the crisis age" to be a more correct term.

Integrational modeling of biotechnological synergetics is described in "Our Grandchildren Redesigned: Life in the Bioengineered Society of the Near Future"[3]. It was determined that each of the components of the technologies that extend the life constitute a compositional standard for the integration of technological principles at the organismal level. The book defines the terms of introduction of such proposals for 10 to 15 of the following years.

Also indirect refinement of the strategy and current level of development of life extension programs in terms of technology is determined by the need to refer to the regulation of the researced subject. Such efforts are already conducted on the individual monographs[4] level. In particular, the section of life extension technologies is represented in the structure of the general energetical legal environment, as the technology of life extension correlates with the general principles of the distribution of energy flows according to the biosphere concept of V.I. Vernadsky.

In the Russian segment of this scientific field the leading researchers are concerned with the issues of forecasting the social readiness to conduct activities in the area of life extension[5]. Interaction with biotechnology is a key motive for the majority of the leading structures of the post-Soviet space.

Adaption directly for the integration of technology of the development of life into the practical sector of the economy should vary on an understanding of what instrumental methods make it possible. The guiding principle should be the formation of a strategy of solving the problems of implementation of the core competencies of social capital.

The multidimensionality of social capital and its immaterial nature, numerous theoretical conceptualizations of this concept and the multiplicity of the purposes of his research exclude the presence of a single well-established approach to its measurement and analysis. None of the available international comparative studies were specifically designed to measure social capital[6]. The exception is a project of the World Bank «The initiative on defining, monitoring and measuring social capital» (1998). But this method of assessing social capital is a very labor-intensive and highly expensive because of using a specially designed questionnaire of 45 pages, taking into account the five social capital components: social groups and networks, trust, collective action, social inclusion, information and communication[7]. For 17 years this method has been tested only on the example of social capital of one country, Nepal, and is now the research is conducted on Albania, the Philippines, Thailand and Sierra Leone. Virtually every study of social capital is a separate methodological approach to its assessment in accordance with their own goals and objectives. Among the scientific advances in the assessment of this type of capital are the following[8]: R. Putnam estimated the social capital of civil society by the index of number of communities in civil society, including religious organizations, sports clubs, bowling leagues, literary communities and political clubs. Fukuyama suggested to improve the approach of R. Putnam by considering trust radius, mistrust factor and quality coefficient of relationships (the internal cohesion of the group)[9].

K. Grutavert and T. Bastelar offered to determine three blocks of indicators of social capital at the macro level: participation in local associations and networks; the level of trust and compliance with behavioral standards; collective action. Estonian scientist I. Parts has developed the most detailed methodology for assessment of social capital; it contains network characteristics as belonging to formal organizations and informal communication; social (interpersonal) and institutional trust; social norms, including the attitude towards morality and illegal practices and perceptions of citizenship; sense of community; political participation as a general interest in politics and participation in political activities[10]. It should be noted that these indicators are not always reflected in all surveys that include indicators of social capital at the individual level. Scientists of the World Bank estimated the density of membership, a variety of members, the degree of democratic functioning and the degree of connection with the other groups. Confidence indicators repeat indicators available in values of research: social trust as trust in strangers and trust in institutions, including their assessment of the social justice position. Indicators of collective action include volunteering, and participating in local community[11] events. Indicators of social integration include both general questions of perception to social cohesion and individual experience of social exclusion, for example, in the context of decision-making and access to certain services. "Information and communication" component measures the availability of technical facilities for communication within the community and beyond, that is the availability of postal services, telephone services, and Internet media[12].

The subindex of social capital in private indicators, which are formed on the basis of the survey respondents in two dimensions, namely social cohesion and participation in community and family ties[13], is calculated as part of the index of the prosperity of the world countries (The Legatum Prosperity Index) which is a composite indicator that measures achievement on their wellbeing and prosperity of the world and which is issued since 2006 by the British analytical center «The Legatum Institute» (a subdivision of the «Legatum» International Investment Group). Generalization of modern methodical approaches to the assessment of social capital allowed to make the following classification: on the basis of method of measurement it is possible to identify quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods; on the basis of evaluation of the object - an estimation of social capital as an integrated system based on the use of aggregate indices and evaluation of individual components of social capital (for example, the credibility of the institutions, volunteering, participation in elections, participation in protest actions, etc.); on the basis of units of assessment evaluation methods are divided into the cost and quantity[14] ones. We carry out an analysis of its development, presented in Table 1. According to World Bank estimates, the physical capital in the modern economy generates 20% of the total amount of each country's wealth, natural - 4 to 10%, and human capital - 64% (Table 1). In countries such as Japan and Germany, the share of human capital is up to 80% of national wealth.

Many of the events and trends in the modern post-industrial world are subject to some common schemes governing the stages of the development of humans and society as a whole. Such an objective correlation of events, their non-randomness, lack of belonging to a certain part of territory, repeating under certain circumstances, can be qualified as a pattern. According to the forecast, in the near future Russia may expect the following positive structural changes in the professional qualification of employees:

  • redistribution of contingent of the employees in favor of non-manual workers (from 41.4% in 2009 to 50% in 2025) in connection with the transition from an industrial-type economy to innovation economy;
  • increase of the share of the average level of qualification of specialists and employees engaged in information work;
  • change of the composition of the workforce in favor of skilled workers in the industrial sectors of the economy (from 36% in 2009 to 43% in 2025);
  • slowing the rate of increase in the share of service workers, housing and trade.

In Table 2, as a final outcome the main indices are shown, reflecting how Russia meets the requirements of an economy based on knowledge (the highest rate is 10, lowest - 0).

Development of human capital in the knowledge economy seems to us the process of mutual influence and interpenetration: the new economy presents a specific set of requirements for human capital, which renews and enriches economy. Human capital is able to have a positive impact on the pace and quality of economic growth not by itself, but under the condition of its effective use. On the other hand, it can inhibit economic development. Conducted by us in the previous section, the analysis reveals a number of contradictions, which are the source of development and directly affect the reproduction, accumulation, the increasing complexity of the human capital and its effective impact. We suggest an algorithm of the formation of manifestations and resolving contradictions in the human capital development (Figure 1).

Figure 1

Spatial analysis of the structure of possible distribution of the areas of activity on technology deployment is essential for economic forecasting and reality of implementation in the mass segment of such services. Conducted empirical analysis is based on the spread of Chinese services in the Russian Federation.

Conclusions. The result of the study we consider valid to state in the three areas of scientific knowledge.

By the axiological form, as well as the philosophical basis of the study, we believe to be that each of these examples relates to identifying and structuring needs and individualization of society. The process of integration into the socioeconomic environment of the state of life extension remains in the public discourse on the overall improving human life and overall health. This is due both to the understanding of the living conditions and the social and ecological environment, and to the formation of the structure to ensure the extension of life.

Understanding the importance of social capital and economic importance of the individual person in a public environment is the basis for the technological solution. Economic evaluation, as well as the literature review of the researched subjects revealed significant differentiation related to social capital in the Russian Federation and leading research in Western countries structure. In Russian literature the reduced content of research on social capital is justified by the need to guarantee the primary rights of workers and to ensure the basic forms of protection from exploitation and the observance of labor legislation. However, the existing forms of preservation and accessibility of social capital in Russian practice shows such opportunities at enterprises whose annual income amounts to about 10 to 12%. Increasing of the profitability of a business structure gives rise to the interest in improving the well-being and social equity, respectively.

Technological component of life extension is based on the integration of the structure and the solvency of the persons to whom it is directed. The potential market, given the fractional structure of spending on health of the average person and the general level of free cash flow, economic assessment of market capacity is about 200 to 250 billion dollars only in the Russian Federation for 10 to 15 years. Using the tools of economic sense, we expect the development of industrial equipment in large medical centers with subsequent spread to the regional centers.

Share of the subjective assessment based on the empirical component in our understanding is related to the development and implementation of the technologies themselves, and also it clarifies what these technologies can be useful to society for. In the near future, we believe that these aspects of the investigated issues must remain at the level of state-level pilot projects. With the potential inclusion of concession agreements.
