A system of nonsingular integral equations is formulated for calculation of the partial-wave amplitudes of hadron-hadron scattering in the region of low and intermediate energies with allowance for the meson and quark-gluon degrees of freedom. The quark-gluon degrees of freedom are taken into account in the framework of the model of composite quark bags, and the meson degrees of freedom by the methods of relativistic quantum field theory. It is shown that inclusion of the quark-gluon degrees of freedom leads to suppression of meson exchange effects, for the most part exchanges of heavy mesons (rho,..omega..). The method is applied to the calculation of the /sup 3/S/sub 1/, /sup 1/S/sub 0/, /sup 3/P/sub 0/, /sup 3/P/sub 1/, and /sup 1/P/sub 1/ phase shifts of nucleon-nucleon scattering in the range of incident-nucleon energies T = 0--1050 MeV, as well as the S-wave scattering lengths and effective ranges.
