Hence, the governments of those countries develop and implement various concepts, strategic and tactical plans. The development and the practice of planned system and its ingredients are implemented in different directions of social life such as economic, political, institutional, social through systematic reforms. In modern literature the assessment of abovementioned reforms is implemented by different international and nongovernmental organizations /World Bank, International Monetary Fund, UNO, etc./ through different indexes /Economic Freedom, Democracy, Legatum prosperity, KOF globalization Indexes, etc/. The main objective of our research is to develop new methodology of the new integral index that we will give us an opportunity based on indexes that qua...

The stress pathway is believed to be involved in preterm birth via inflammatory and immunologic dysregulation. We conducted a cross-sectional study on female participants aged 15-45 years old who delivered a live, singleton infant at Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. Each participant was assessed for risk of toxic stress using a combination of individual level factors and neighborhood deprivation scores and subsequently assigned a risk group. We hypothesized that levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the first trimester differ by risk group and race. We found that Black females were more likely to be at risk for toxic stress and had lower median levels of IL-6 compared to White females. When stratified by risk group and race, low risk Black females had lower levels of IL-10 compared to low risk White females and high-risk Black femal...

When testing the functional state of the central nervous system CNS) can not determine the speed of human perception and processing of rapidly changing information. The method allows to quickly identify individual trainees and innate human ability to quickly assess the situation and make sporting decision on certain motor responses.

From both scientific and empiric perspective it is supposed that the quantitive assessment of various reforms implemented in different countries based on presented indicators of seven indexes despite the new methodology that we suggest give us the opportunity to include much more indexes.

During that period some questions arise such as 1. how effective, interconnected and reasonable various reforms are, 2. how efficient the implemented reforms in one country are compared to others. As an answer to these questions we make following supposes: the effectiveness of all various reforms to some extent are revealed in the indexes by international and nongovernment organizations. In order to solve the problems we have developed a new methodology to create more integral index that can include a large amount of indexes to assess the comparative efficiency of various reforms for some period. Keywords— Democracy, innovation, globalization, peace, reforms, assessment, development, life quality, index, competitiveness, freedom, efficiency.

We have highlighted the reforms made in post-crisis period in 21 former socialist countries. The integral index describes the social-economic development level. The integral index contains of six indexes: The Global Competitiveness Index, Doing Business, The Corruption Perception, The Index of Economic Freedom, The Human Development, and The Democracy Index, which are reported by different international organizations. With the help of our methodology we first summarized the above-mentioned 6 indexes and attained 1 general index, besides, our new method enables us to assess the comparative efficiency of the reforms made in different countries by analyzing them. The purpose is to reveal the opportunities and threats of socialeconomic reforms in different directions. Keywords—Assessment, comparative, effectiveness, ...

We suppose that the results of those reforms are expressed in various indexes by different international and non-government organizations. On the purpose for our research we consider more important the following indexes, as their integrity will represent the features of the social-economic development of each country. From this point of view, during the last decades there have been various indexes developed by different international organizations and non-government corporations (The Bertelsmann Stiftung’s Transformation Index, Global Peace Index, Global Innovation index, KOF Index of Globalization, Human Development Index, The Corruption Perception Index), which are used to assess the institutions of different fields. Based on the new methodology, suggested by us, we have trie...

During this process, a number of key issues arise (i.e. how effective, interrelated and interdependent, how complex these reforms are, what comparative efficiency do they provide to other countries, etc [1]. To overcome the challenges associated with solving the above-mentioned problems, as well as to implement the multidimensional reforms within the countries, to develop and implement coherent programs of transformation, the assessment of the effectiveness of various reforms gains great importance.
