The search and testing of drugs with senolytic activity is one of the new directions in gerontology. The number of "senescent" cells that increases with age contributes to the development of age-related diseases and chronic non-infectious inflammation. Removing "senescent" cells or suppressing their influence on surrounding tissues seems a logical step to improve the quality of life and, possibly, prolong lifespan. However, drugs that have senolytic and senomorphic activity in model systems cause the development of a number of side effects in clinical trials. In this review, we consider the main advances in the field of senotherapy, the prospects for the use of senotherapy drugs, and the limitations that researchers and clinicians may encounter.

Introduction. The article outlines some of the government's initiatives for the development of science at Russian universities in order to increase the research potential of the country as a whole. One such initiative is a Project to increase the competitiveness of the leading universities of the Russian Federation among the world's leading research and educational centers, or Project 5-100. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of measures of the government and universities for the development of science in the system of higher education through scientometric indicators. Methods. The study is based on the analysis of scientometric indicators as one of the mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of the development of scientific activity at a university. The source of information is the international scientometric databases Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus, as well as their analytical platforms, InCites and SciVal. Results and Discussion. The study revealed a tendency toward an increase not only in the number of publications of university scientists, but also a significant increase in their quality. Project 5-100 universities that demonstrate the most significant growth of scientometric indicators in comparison with nationwide Russian indicators are identified. For example, the number of publications in the Web of Science and Scopus databases was 4.5 times greater; the number of publications among the top 1% most cited scientific publications in the world was 7 times greater in 2019 than in 2012, the number of publications among the top 10% was nearly 6 times greater, etc. Conclusion. The article presents an analysis of the dynamics of the main scientometric indicators of Russia over recent years, as well as those of divisions of the Russian Academy of Sciences and universities, including universities participating in Project 5-100: the number of publications, the number of highly cited publications (in the top 1% and the top 10%), the number of publications in top journals (in the top ...

This article is focused on the connection between extracurricular sports and alcohol consumption among students in vocational schools (VS). Data collected in 2014 contains information on engagement in individual and team sports and frequency of alcohol consumption by students from vocational schools in St.-Petersburg (29 schools, 2935 students, 77% of them being boys with an average age of 17). Analysis with logistic regressions demonstrates that the effect of extra-curricular sports on drinking is rather low. The main conclusions are: (1) patterns of alcohol consumption are different for boys and girls; (2) team sports are positively related to frequency of drinking; (3) there are no gender differences in the relations between team sports and drinking; and (4) reaching the legal drinking age (18 years old) is more strongly associated with drinking than engaging in team sports. Future studies of adolescent risk behavior are necessary to understand whether these results are unique for extracurricular sports activities or common for all extracurricular activities which involve teams.

Discussion is dedicated to the study of legal problems of stimulating the interest of businesses in the use of scientiic research and conducting their own research. The relevance of the proposed topic due to the fact that one of the most acute problems of the Russian economy is little demand from the business sector on the existing industrial intellectual property. Identiied problems allowed to develop proposals for improving the legal regulation aimed at the formation and growth of the volume of intangible assets and transactions with them. The author of the report proposes to amend the Russian legislation in the ield of tax regulation, the integration of education and research in business and economics, regulation of labour of research fellows, the settlement of disputes in the ield of intellectual property, promotion of small innovative enterprises, procurement for state and municipal needs.

The purpose of the article is to assess the possibility of using cluster policy in Russia's industry as an instrument for developing dynamic competition (encouraging innovation activity). Drawing on the results of a detailed systematic review of the cluster theory, the author identifies the reason for its weak operationality: an implicit premise on entrepreneur's passive role in the innovation process. He then attempts to remove this premise by explaining the motives of company's behavior through a modified product variety model which is tested on empirical data from the U.S. and Russia. The results of testing show that at similar level of economic activity the geographical concentration of industrial enterprises in a cluster contributes to the intensification of innovation processes. A relatively more competitive behavior of firms in a cluster is explained through the theory of industrial markets and new institutional economic theory. The analysis concludes with valuable recommendations for economic policy.

The year 2018, which was declared the year of the volunteer in Russia, aided in the emergence of such a phenomenon as "silver" volunteerism. This article presents an analysis of the volunteer activity of elderly folk, its features and their participation motives. Volunteerism is conditioned by the potential of an increasingly socially active lifestyle among the elderly, who are prepared to partake in social practices for the benefit of society. Russia's recently accepted legal documents which regulate volunteerism are aimed at active longevity. Literature and mass-media are mentioning the term "silver" volunteerism more frequently. The author of this article has undertaken the task of defining its meaning. "Silver" volunteerism is considered to be a type of active and ethical life activity for the elderly, which is performed at no cost and for the good of other people, aids in the elderly feeling a connection to community life, as well as sharing their life and professional experience, and which has become one of the conditions for enhancing their sense of dignity, for improving their social well-being, health and independence. The conducted sociological study of volunteer practices among the elderly states that the degree to which they participate in the activities of volunteer organizations varies depending on gender, age, health condition, income, education level and social-professional status. Their primary motives for participating in volunteer activity are as follows: the desire to feel competent, regardless of age; staying in touch with other people; putting their free time to use and escaping a sense of loneliness. For most elderly people, participating in volunteer practices is conditioned by a person's need to satisfy their personal, individual need to be useful to someone else, as well as their intention to solve their own problems of material and psychological nature. The social portrait of a "silver" volunteer was compiled based on the results of this study. These are mostly women ages 60 to 69, who have a college education, children, and who live by themselves. Most of the respondents are of average material status. A conclusion is drawn that developing volunteer activity among the elderly creates new opportunity for expressing one's creative potential and social activeness in later stages of life.

This article considers the autonomy at work trends in Russia for more than 15 years on the basis of monitoring data "Social differences in modern Russian society". A degree and characteristics of autonomy in work depend on external conditions and are manifested differently in different periods. The 1990s are a watershed of these periods. The established trends in the degree of manifestation of different types of autonomy in work are shown. There is a marked contradiction between the assessment of their autonomy and limiting framework of its manifestation: in comparison with 2015, in 1999, employees evaluated it significantly higher. This can be explained by adaptation to changing conditions of work and employment. At the same time, the organization of the workplace, according to the estimates of workers, does not give great opportunities to show their autonomy. This trend has been observed throughout the years of the survey. Meanwhile, workers are noticeably more likely to feel the insignificance of their level of autonomy. The study confirmed the relationship of autonomy in labour relations with professional status: a high level of power, education, well-being. There is a decrease in autonomy of the heads of organizations and managers of the lower level. Working conditions are also important: forms of employment, contract, remuneration. Personal characteristics associated with attitudes to change in their lives, play a role. The influence of age and sex is not so significant. Trends in the situation of self-employment are noted: the growth of the scale, professional and qualification compliance. This confirms the assumption that compulsion characterizes self-employment to a lesser extent than in the 1990. It is concluded that autonomy in work is a characteristic of a more privileged social position of workers, as well as emerging social groups of self-employed.

Intellectual activity of students requires a special approach towards the system of organization and management of this process. Drawing on the institutional approach, the paper shows the interdependence between the values and norms of the institution and the basic values of students in terms of enhancing their intellectual activity and the formation of human capital of students, as well as the maintenance and development of the intellective potential of the institution. The authors first explore the peculiar forms of presenting in the educational process the basic values of students and university facilitating the efficiency and diligence of students, then present the key values crucial for further functioning and development of students' education system. The article identifies the factors that determine the education system functionality. Among such factors are teaching methodology, the system of periodic and current evaluation of students work, the organization of the learning process, the forms of motivation. The findings demonstrate the influence of students basic values on their intellectual activity, the role of these values in educational and scientific activity of students, the growing impact of the values of higher education institutions on their intellectual activity and intellective capital through the system of students motivation.
