Background: In the Russian Federation, newborn screening comprises thyroid stimulating hormone determination to exclude primary congenital hypothyroidism. Screening is carried out throughout Russia. Neonatal TSH can be used to assess iodine deficiency and monitor iodine prevention programs.Objective: To assess and compare official statistical data on congenital hypothyroidism, the prevalence of hypothyroidism and iodine deficiency syndrome in children, as well as urinary iodine in the Russian regions.Materials and methods: The level of neonatal TSH was determined in 97.69% of children born in the Russian Federation in 2017. This article represents the results on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the regions with various iodine availability. The correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship of CH incidence in newborns and iodine availability.Results: The calculated correlation coefficient, which was 0.2, reflects a weak relationship between the degree of iodine deficiency in the region and the number of newborns diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism.Conclusions: In the Russian Federation, a law on universal salt iodization does not exist, and many regions are still in conditions of moderate or severe iodine deficiency. To assess the iodine status in these particular regions, we could use the results of newborn TSH screening

The article deals with the specifics of the main factors of quality of corporate governance in the Russian Federation on the basis of global trends in corporate reporting "standardization" and "mathematization" of administrative decisions. The use of fuzzy cognitive maps in addition to the cognitive matrix, gives visibility and visualization semi factors allowing, with varying degrees of detail to systematize them as a target-driven, intermediate, promote and prevent. According to the Russian scientific community, among the 35 parameters, affecting the quality of corporate governance, according to the cognitive analysis to the dominant factors of mutual discord are the following: 1) inefficient system of quality management; 2) high transaction costs of interaction between participants of corporate governance; 3) concealment of material information; lack of a clear separation of functions of control and management stock ownership; 4) low standard of living; 5) low organization of monitoring and control in the redistribution of resources companies. The article concluded that cognitive modeling tools enable us to obtain qualitative information, which increases the level of soundness and integrity management solutions in the field of semi-parameters of corporate governance.
