ABSTRACT
Background. 1.5 years after the registration of the first vaccine against COVID-19 in Russia, national herd immunity reached only 49.7%. It is obvious that the success of vaccination measures depends on the readiness of the population for immunization and their attitude to the vaccine. The aim of the study was to research the attitude to vaccination against a new coronavirus infection among various socio-demographic population groups in Russia. Materials and methods. The study was conducted online by distributing via social networks a direct link to an electronic form with questions about the attitude to the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination. A total of 2,786 people (of whom 66.9% were women) aged 16 to 77 years took part in the online survey. Results. It was shown that distrust of vaccination was more often expressed by women and younger people. A targeted approach to these population groups can improve the results of awareness-raising and preventive measures in the context of an ongoing pandemic.
ABSTRACT
The review is devoted to the consideration of the history of paradigms in the study of depressive disorders in terms of modern understanding of depression in psychiatry and clinical and medical psychology and its correlation with the biopsychosocial model in medicine. The review also contains works devoted to the study of the prevalence and comorbidity of depressive disorders and their relationship with suicidal behavior. The existing limitations in the study of depressive disorders in psychiatry and clinical psychology and the issues of interdisciplinary integration and interdisciplinary barriers are considered in detail. The review includes publications indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, Russian Science Citation Index, and PubMed databases. Depression is a major medical and psychological problem due to its widespread prevalence in the general population, in primary care, among patients with various chronic somatic symptom disorders who receive treatment in community and specialized hospitals and clinics, and among clients of psychological centers and social services. In 1996, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, based on the materials of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, published estimates and prognosis for the prevalence of depressive disorders around the world. According to their data, depression in 1990 was ranked 4th in terms of the severity of the leading causes of the burden of the disease, and according to the baseline scenario of development, by 2020 it should have been ranked 2nd after coronary artery disease. The review is focused on the need to revise the baseline scenario of development and start a new discussion on the study of depressive disorders under new conditions, such as the psychological state of society during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, as well as on the eve of healthcare transition to the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases. © 2022 Siberian State Medical University.

ABSTRACT
The increased prevalence of COVID-19 has had severe implications on the well-being of most organization and professionals most especially in the field of human resource management. This study focused on establishing the impact of COVID-19 on the different human resource practices and future marketing. The main objective of this paper is to suggest the possible ways to solve the negative impact of COVID-19 on the human resource and business management in companies situated in Kazakhstan. It was established that the dynamics of work have greatly changed from the traditional way of working from the organization’s premises to working remotely at home. Consequently, marketing has also shifted to different online platforms since physical contact with customers is currently prohibited to maintain social distancing as one way of preventing coronavirus. These changes have been associated with different negative implications and some positives as some professionals find it more flexible and convenient to work remotely. The COVID-19 data was analyzed in this paper to understand the effect of COVID-19 in the businesses in Kazakhstan. To cope with the current changing times, it is necessary for organization to adjust and adopt the new emerging technologies of working remotely and consequently implement strategic policies and procedures toward maintaining a steady flow. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
